2004 BTCC VAUXHALL ASTRA SHOW CAR
The ubiquitous Astra Coupé was the model chosen by Vauxhall to spearhead their challenge in the 2001 British Touring Car Championship. The cars were prepared by Triple 8 Race Engineering, who ran Vauxhall’s official works program and they were obviously ahead of the game as the Astras were the first BTCC contenders to be unveiled to the press in late 2000. Triple 8 had worked on the Astra in the summer of that year and as a result, with 4 cars - 2 with Vauxhall sponsorship (driven by Jason Plato and Yvan Muller) and 2 with Egg Banking sponsorship (driven by James Thompson, Phil Bennett, and a one-off appearance by Andy Priaulx) had given themselves a head start on the rest of the field at the start of the 2001 season. In the end, it was far more advanced in its development than anything else in the field, dominating the season by winning 25 out of 26 races. A three-way battle for the championship lasted throughout the season, with Jason Plato emerging victorious by 18 points. In fact, so dominant were the cars that the lowest placed Astra driver, Phil Bennett, who finished 4th in the Driver’s Championship, was 58 points clear of the man in 5th. For the following two seasons, the Astra continued to win races and championships, with James Thompson taking the honors in ‘02 and Yvan Muller in ‘03. 2004 would be the last season the Astra Coupés were used by the works Vauxhall team with Thompson and Muller partnered by Luke Hines. Despite the arrival of SEAT with former champion Jason Plato, and strengthened Honda and MG efforts, they were unable to break the dominance of the Vauxhall, which again won the drivers, manufacturers and teams championships. Once more,

James Thompson was the champion, this time edging a close title fight by just 1 point ahead of Muller. In fact, despite the strengthened works teams that had come into the BTCC since 2001, the gap still remained huge - Muller finished the season 49 points ahead of the nearest challenger. Presented here at ‘No Reserve’ is a Vauxhall Astra BTCC ‘rolling chassis’ with all driveline parts removed. We believe this chassis was used as a show car for 888 and looks, to all intents and purposes, as if it may have raced or tested in period, but we cannot verify this. Given the popularity of the British Touring Car Championship, and the way in which championships for various earlier periods in saloon car racing (eg Super Touring) are beginning to emerge, then an opportunity to run older BTCC cars may well appear. What better chance to obtain, perhaps, an ideal spares package or indeed a base on which to rebuild one of the most successful cars in the history of the BTCC. Or alternatively, in the manner in which people buy old F1 nosecones after dinner at a charity auction, it’s a great opportunity to arrive home tonight with the ultimate ‘impulse purchase’!

1970 MGC GT COMPETITION-SPEC RACE CAR WITH PERIOD HISTORY
At its launch, the MGC appeared to have the potential to become a great commercial success offering all the qualities of the muchloved MGB with some significant performance improvements at a very attractive price. This was not to be, however, as a number of unfavourable ‘Road Tests’ in motoring magazines criticising the car’s ‘nose-heavy’ handling sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of potential car buyers. With the benefit of hindsight we now know that the manufacturer’s recommended tyres and particularly tyre pressures were to blame for the tendency to understeer and this could easily have been resolved. The British Leyland Group, owners of MG, didn’t help by dithering, somewhat publicly, over whether the MGC would hurt the sales of the two other six-cylinder sports cars in the range (the GT-6 and the TR6) and then eventually dropping the Abingdon car. The MGC GT did acquit itself quite well as a ‘competition car’ however, and two lightweight race versions (GTS) were built, RMO 699F and MBL 546E (affectionately known as ‘Romeo and Mable’) to compete in the Targa Florio, Sebring and ‘Marathon de la Route’.

power output is transmitted to the road through a 5-speed T5 Borg Warner box and limited slip differential, and everything is kept civilised by rose-jointed front suspension and beefy anti-tramp bars at the rear. This ‘C’GT is a very quick car having held a number of lap records in its day and now offers numerous options for competition. With a good period history, there is always the prospect of gaining historic papers offering access to a number of glamorous International events or it could happily be used as a reliable, much admired, weekend club racer.
Offered here is a modified MGC that was raced in period by Mark Burnside. Sold by Silverstone Auctions in May 2015 and intended for competition use, a change of circumstances and too many other racing commitments have dictated that LVG 798H is now reluctantly re-offered to market. It benefits from having had the engine rebuilt by Steve James Engineering incorporating new Cosworth pistons, valves and new valve seats in 2010 when it was sold to its second owner. At the same time, the crankshaft and connecting rods were crack tested and the Dellortos were set up to produce around 280bhp. This healthy

1980 FORD CAPRI GRP 1
In the early 1970s, the mantle of maintaining Ford’s domination in European Saloon Car Racing was passed from the Escort to the Capri. The models chosen to disrupt the well-laid plans of Alfa Romeo and BMW in the ETCC were respectively the RS2600 (Cologne V6) and RS3100 (Essex V6), and the Capri quickly proved that it was the car to have in those early years. Endurance races like the Nurburgring 1000KMS and the Spa 24hr race were won by specially prepared 3 litre Capris driven by the likes of Jochen Mass and Hans Stuck and European Touring Car Championships were won in 1971 and 1972 by the 2.6 cars. In 1973, prior to the arrival the following year of the redesigned Mk.2, Ford UK decided to produce a limited number of the formidable RS3100, a very quick saloon car, in period, with a top speed of nearly 130 mph in ‘standard’ form. The Capri had shown its mettle and Ford stayed with its evolution right through to the Mk. 3 and all the time the Capri kept delivering all over Europe with victory after victory. Although running exotic Group 2 specifications in the European Touring Car Championship, the majority of the model’s success was in Group1 racing, a class that catered for standard-looking cars with strict limits as to modifications, which made this level of racing both financially accessible and highly competitive. All the great names got involved with the amazing Capri,including Tom Walkinshaw, Gerry Marshall, Barry ‘Whizzo’ Williams, Stuart Graham, Andy Rouse, Gordon Spice, and Vince Woodman. The battles that raged were the stuff of legends and the Capri just kept on delivering.

This particular Group 1 Capri was built in early 1980 by George Houthuyzen for the ‘Toerwagen Kampioenschap’ and was raced in period in the Netherlands before being sold in 1982 to Peter Elgaard in Denmark who campaigned it for a couple of seasons in the Danish national series. It was subsequently traded in 1986 for a Group ‘A’ Volvo 240 in Sweden. Currently in very original condition, having not raced or turned a wheel in anger for over 30 years, this car may well present an ideal entry opportunity for the ever expanding and popular Goodwood Members Meeting in years to come. Given the popularity of this event ( particularly the Gerry Marshall Trophy) and other Historic Group 1 championships, the real difficulty is finding an original Capri with an established period competition history. This car therefore, is an excellent base for an exciting project to create an eligible Capri racer for future events such as Goodwood and the Silverstone Classic. With the sensible guide price reflecting the level of commissioning required, what a perfect and rare opportunity to get involved in the developing Group 1 racing scene.

The Lotus Elan+2 was introduced in 1967 with a longer wheelbase and two more rear seats than the original Elan. It was advertised ... ‘for the discerning motorist who requires the renowned Lotus road holding and performance coupled to an attractive two plus two body’. The Elan+2 embodied the Lotus spirit: it was a fast and agile sports coupé, with very elegant lines and combined the performance and reliability of the original Elan with genuine 2+2 passenger comfort. This car is a road registered race car, having been with the current vendor since August 2011. ‘GDS 635F’ was first registered in November 1967 and was restored in 2004 as a show car with a new spyder chassis. Four years later it was decided this pretty little Elan should be converted to a racing car and has since raced between 2012-2015 in the Classic Sports Car Club “Swinging Sixties” series. In 2013/14, the car was also entered in the ever competitive Bentley Drivers Club handicap races at Silverstone and was a Class winner in the ACOC Sprint at Goodwood in 2012. The vendor of this pretty little car also took part in the 2012 Lotus Élan 50th Anniversary races at Brands Hatch and Donington Park, running reliably and quickly. The vendor has supplied detailed information on the spec of the car and some highlights are presented below as follows. The bodyshell is finished in French blue with removable strips and roundels and the interior has been stripped out and with lightened boot, bonnet and doors the total weight is believed to be around 775kg.

A Tillett B6 F FIA seat and OMP FIA 6 point harness (all in date) and the full roll cage was done by Kelvedon Lotus/Kelsport in March 2012 including seat and seat belt anchorages. There is also a plumbed in fire extinguisher and FIA cut-out switch, with both inside and exterior pull handles. The Spyder chassis has tubular negative camber wishbones and AVO Shock absorbers with spare AVO and Tony Thompson sets if preferred. The engine now produces 166 BHP on Mass Rolling Road and similar figures have also been produced on Pete Baldwin Rolling Road (206 engine bhp) with the Dyno and build sheets available. The engine was rebuilt in mid-2013 with a new American Ford Racing cast block decked and bored to suit the detailed build. All machining and head building was completed by Anglian Engines, put together by ‘J & A Kit and Classic Car’ and completely re-fettled (rings, shells right through top and bottom, gaskets, seals, valves re-cut, head re-shimmed, new springs and buckets, new clutch plate) in the winter 2014/15 ready for the forthcoming season. Some spares are also supplied with the car, including front pads, 4 wheels & tyres, caliper seals, water pump & belts etc.. This well prepared Elan offers amazing value for someone wishing a low-cost entry into motorsport with a marque that is historically synonymous with small, light, quick sports cars.

1988 SAMSON KREMER PORSCHE RS REPLICA
The defining 911 of its era, the Carrera 2.7 RS was created to comply with homologation requirements for Group 4 racing and all 500 examples of the initial production run were sold within a week of the car’s international debut at the 1972 Paris Show. As a design, it was an object lesson in economy of purpose and, with its appropriately fat tyres and duck-tail spoiler was the classic balance of form and function. It was the first 911 to bear the RS moniker and, for many, it continues to epitomise the essence of the 911. This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 has been modified by marque specialist ‘Nur Motorsport’ to replicate the look of the famous Kremer Samson IROC 1974 Porsche Carrera RS’s. The whole process from initial preparation of the donor shell to the fitting of the final, period correct details to produce this amazing replica has been charted photographically in a complete and detailed record.

and a remap. A G50 gearbox was fitted as they are stronger and a bit easier to live with and the brakes were converted to four-pot calipers with period 930 discs. The OMP roll cage is a six point fixing helping to stiffen the chassis and improve handling. The roof and bonnet are Kevlar Nur Motorsport items and the RS signature engine cover and spoiler are GRP. The car is MoT’d until 29-7-2016. The overall result of the extensive work carried out is a very special ‘backdate’, with the evocative look of the ‘74 IROC RS’s but with a modern driving feel. The best of both worlds at a very enticing guide.
The donor car had only been enjoyed by two previous owners and had a complete service history so was the ideal basis for this conversion. The shell was built up using RSR steel arches and the rest of the bodywork was prepared with the look of the seventies racer in mind. The engine was fitted with EFI and was fully checked over and the only modifications to maintain driveability were exhausts, the intake

2008 MORGAN ROADSTER 3.0 V6
The AR Motorsport Morgan Challenge is a UK one-make championship for racing Morgans and is supported by the Morgan Motor Company and Yokohama tyres. The series is multi-class and caters for V8s, the older 4-cylinder cars and the more modern V6 Roadsters. Known for well-supported grids and close racing and there are plans for a 10-race championship in 2016. This is a full-race car built from a bare chassis by Richard Thorne Classic Cars in 2008, with great attention to weight saving to full class B specification for the Aero Racing Morgan Challenge. Class B allows considerable modifications from the standard Roadster Lightweight, including 4-wheel disc brakes vented at the front, 7”x 16” Image wheels with 225/50VR16 Yokoharma tyres, modified 3 litre Ford V6, with bespoke ECU, race cams, and big bore manifolds giving circa 280BHP at 7000RPM.

This well-sorted racing Morgan has always been maintained with no expense spared ensuring that it’s fast and reliable. We understand that it’s great fun to drive with neutral handling, turns in well and inspires confidence in the first couple of laps when it all gets a bit ‘cosy’. Recently serviced and with new pads all round, this desirable, competitive Morgan is ready to race, or alternatively with its two Tillet race seats and full harnesses, would make a fast and exciting, value for money track-day car. Just a turn of the key with no fuss is all that’s needed to start the Ford V6 which sounds amazing but is well below the 105db restrictions. Don’t delay- the season’s just round the corner.
This successful car has won two Morgan Challenge Races outright, beating all the class A cars in the process (the only class B Roadster to do so) and will be highly competitive again in the right hands. Regularly campaigned by her current owner for the past 3 seasons in this championship, the car was a frequent points scorer and very competitive, but fortuitously has never had an accident or suffered any damage. It was resprayed three years ago and was recently fitted with a new back axle. There is a file with the car with lots of invoices detailing race-prep and maintenance and in addition, lots of photos, race results and set-up information.

Owned and more recently raced by the legendary Gordon Shedden, twice British Touring Car Champion and all round nice guy, ‘Flash’ has too many commitments in 2016 to race this particular car, which now represents a unique opportunity to acquire a famous and very successful Goodwood friendly saloon. Run and prepared by the famous Neal family owned ‘Team Dynamics’, who are responsible for the running of the Honda Works cars in the current BTCC. The car is ‘on the button’ and offered absolutely ready to race and win, and is eligible for numerous series - such as the HRDC series for 1950’s cars, and is also a highly likely invitee for the next 1950’s St. Mary’s Trophy grid at the Goodwood Revival. Uniquely, the new owner will also benefit from a test day ‘handover’ if required from Team Dynamics and Flash.
The unique engine is prepared and hand built by none other than Neil Brown of Neil Brown Engineering, the man responsible for the build and development of the Works Honda engines in the current BTCC incorporating new parts from MED and Swiftune.

1965 LANCIA FLAVIA SPORT ZAGATO
The most outrageous yet least acknowledged Lancia Zagato was the 1.8 litre Flavia. Designed by Ercole Spada, Zagato’s main man of the era, it possessed some earlier Zagato styling cues, such as the windows into the roofline, which echoed the Panoramic Fiats of the early fifties. It was streamlined, but Zagato did not work with a wind tunnel, they worked by feel, drew the car up on a full sized board and then started hammering. Once on the road, it was tested with the traditional tuftof-cloth method. Prior to the construction of a larger facility in the late 1960s, Zagato worked primarily in aluminum, and the quest for saving weight carried over into the interior and even the paint which was applied sparingly, in two or three very thin coats. The interiors were also thin, particularly the vinyl, dashboards were hammered out of slim aluminum, and often not covered with anything but crackle finish paint. This Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato is much like all the other 576 aluminum body over steel frame coupés built, however, it’s one of just 25 RHD models produced. Converted into a road /rally car by marque specialist Richard Thorne in the early 1990s, the car was used sparingly, and is thought to have been virtually unused for some 10 years as detailed in the MoT history which shows little to no use during this time. It was then purchased by the previous owner in 2002 who, again, had Richard Thorne convert it, this time to a full- race circuit car. A number of modifications were carried out, including a fully race prepared engine, suspension, and running gear, and the car is accompanied by numerous invoices and history, detailing the extent of the race preparations/adaptations. The car raced for approximately 3 seasons with the HSCC and supporting race records are present along with an FIA build

specification and an old set of HTP papers dated 2004 which enabled the car to race at Spa in 2004/2005. However, a con-rod decided to make a bid for freedom through the side of the block at the Spa 6 hours in 2005. After this, it sat sadly waiting for repair in France until the owner decided to sell to the current owner to fund further projects. The car returned to the UK, where ‘Omnicron’, Lancia specialists were tasked with sourcing a new block and rebuilding the engine along with a full recommission. Subsequent rolling road tests produced 139 bhp at the flywheel and 140ftlb torque. After extensive works, the Flavia returned to the Croft circuit in 2014, racing with the Classic Touring Car Club in pre-66. The car performed well, even in novice hands and had two further outings that season at Cadwell and Brands Hatch. After developing a charging fault, the dyno and regulator were rebuilt and a new electronic distributor was fitted. The car has not raced since 2014 due to the owner acquiring a new race car for the 2015/16 seasons. At the end of 2015, it was serviced and recommissioned for use in 2016 and, as a result, the seat, belts and extinguisher are all in date. The car also has 4 Dunlop tyres that we are told have covered nominal mileage and are scrubbed in nicely, along with 4 virtually new Yokohamas and a total of 9 alloy rims. Furthermore this little Zagato comes with a spare 2-litre engine and all the original glass which has been substituted with a lighter polycarbonate. Ready to race, the car could potentially be returned to FIA specification at additional cost should one desire, as well as being improved further aesthetically to really make it a show stopper on the track and in the pits. Eligible for a range of popular series, this car is a great way to stand out from the crowd this season..

1986 FERRARI 328 GTB
The Ferrari 328 first appeared in 1985 as the successor to the 308. It featured a normally aspirated 3.2 V8 engine and very handsome styling and became instantly popular, with Ferrari going on to produce 7,400 variants worldwide during the production run which finished late in 1989. Now regarded as a true design classic, this ultimate 270 bhp sports car of the day reached 0 - 60 in 5.5 seconds and went to a top speed of 166mph. This particular 328GTB, affectionately known as “Rosie”, is very wellknown in Ferrari racing circles in the UK, having entered 70 races in the Maranello Ferrari Challenge. Driven by Mortimer and Shaw, the car clocked up 28 fastest laps, and was the Championship Class winner 3 times as well as being runner-up 3 times. This success continued in the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic, once again scoring many fastest laps and class and outright wins, principally in the hands of David Tomlin.

Most recently in January 2016, the engine was again rebuilt including new shells and piston rings. The competition wiring loom was new in 2011, and as the car has seen little action in the interim years, this is also in good condition. Jump into the race seat and you are greeted with black Alcantara door cards and dashboard - a must for any serious racer! All of the original trim is available with the car should the new owner wish to return the car to a more comfortable specification. The bodywork and paintwork are said to be in very good condition. Due to our vendor’s commitments in other forms of historic motorsport, the car has effectively remained unused for several years and with a recent refresh by RW Racing Services, it can accurately be described as in very good condition.
In 2011, “Rosie” was subject to a full ground-up rebuild carried out by Simon Furlonger, uprating the car from Group 3 to Group 4 of the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic series, with a heated screen, new competition wiring loom, Ohlins 2-way dampers and springs, uprated competition brakes and a full engine rebuild. The car was further uprated with twin tanks to enable participation in longer races such as Intermarque.

You don’t call your cars Radical unless you offer something innovative and unique, and that was exactly the philosophy of company founders Mick Hyde and Phil Abbott 17 years ago. They weren’t about to build ‘just another sports car’, their approach was revolutionary and together they created a whole new niche in the world of motorsport.The iconic Clubsport model established the company in 1997 and is still raced with enthusiasm all around the world. Its success was instantaneous and the full grids soon led to developments, the Prosport added wings, more power and wider slicks, but the team at Radical were never going to rest on their laurels. In 2002, they launched the SR3, a genuine two-seater, road-legal track car, that wowed both the press and track drivers all over the world. It has become Radical’s most popular model to date and was soon followed by the compact SR4, a small, light and practical two-seater that proved to be the perfect successor to the original Clubsport.

1987 FORD SIERRA RS 500 ‘GROUP A’
The 1980s provided some fantastic Touring Car racing as the manufacturer’s teams put serious effort into trying to win races with their Group A spec cars built to a very high standard with serious budgets to match. The Sierra Cosworth comfortably exceeded Ford’s wishes, and went on to become one of the most successful Touring Car racers of all time, winning races all over the world. Chassis ‘0288’ has been fully restored to a very high standard at Ian Gwinn’s workshops approximately 5 years ago and since then it’s undergone another full mechanical restoration and further body improvements whilst in the new ownership of Jim Whelan. Renowned RS500 expert, Paul Linfoot, comments that this RS500 race car, in its current ‘Icom’ livery, is in ‘outstanding mechanical and body condition having been maintained and lovingly restored with no expense spared. To replace a car in its condition would be extremely difficult to find anywhere in the world,’ in Paul’s opinion.

Creventic BV built the first race-orientated Audi R8, called the Creventic CR8, even before the German carmaker themselves unveiled the GT3 version of the R8. The Creventic Audi R8 CR8 is powered by a 4163cc V8 engine that outputs 440 hp at 8000 rpm and 445 Nm of torque. The engine is coupled with a 6-speed transmission and the Dutch company only made two of these bespoke cars. After a development and test period of about 18 months, the goal was to build a fantastic race version of the Audi R8 with the performance of a Porsche GT3 Carrera Cup car, and with this car, this goal appears to have been achieved. The car incorporates a complete carbon bodyshell including a carbon wing a carbon splitter, carbon floor and carbon diffuser all decreasing weight but increasing the car’s drivability. The vendor reports that various professional drivers, who’ve driven this car over the years, say that it’s really tight to drive and inspires confidence. It’s equipped with 18inch BBS racing rims, carbon interior, AIM dash and a data logger, a central wheel nut system a 120 Litre FIA tank and a central race radiator.

1970 BMW 2002 Tii GROUP 2 TOURING CAR
As sales climbed for BMW throughout the 1960s across Europe, their attention started to focus on Motorsport and their desire to create “The Ultimate Driving Machine”. The first model to reflect this was the 2002 introduced in 1968 and their high-performance version, the 2002 Tii, quickly followed in 1970 with a more powerful engine giving 120bhp, a 5-speed gearbox and uprated suspension and brakes. Originally built and prepared by Ian Macdonald as a Group I Touring car, this car first raced in 2011/2012 with a successful father/son combination, before being acquired by our vendor and more recently upgraded to full Group II specification.
Registration: n/a Chassis Number: 16538442 Engine Number: Not Specified Estimate (£): 30,000 - 35,000
The attention to detail continues under the bonnet, where a new Lester Owen built 2 litre engine is fitted, dyno tested at 240bhp (with dyno sheet), a rebuilt 5-speed gearbox, new limited slip differential, new steel race exhaust and manifold, new Group II discs and calipers, new Bilstein dampers and suspension, adjustable front and rear roll bars and adjustable camber plates.
Weighing in at just over 790Kgs, and costing over £80k to convert from Group I to Group II spec, this car is sensibly guided to sell and race very competitively today.
The lightened and seam welded shell has an FIA cage, as well as period wheel arch extensions covering the correct honeycomb split rims and slick tyres. All instrumentation is Smiths as it would have been, and the car looks the part of an ultimate BMW period saloon racer from the 1970s.

1993 LANCIA DELTA INTEGRALE EVOLUZIONE GROUP A ‘JOLLY CLUB’ REPLICA
Few cars encapsulate the drama and excitement of World Championship rallying more effectively than the Group A Lancia Delta HF Integrale. From its introduction as a replacement for the Group B cars in the 1987 WRC to the final year of competition in 1993, the Lancia Delta reigned supreme, taking 46 world championship rally wins, and claiming the Constructors Championship for Lancia a record six times back to back. Four driver’s titles went to Delta pilots - two for Juha Kankkunen and two for Miki Biasion - with WRC legends Didier Auriol and Markku Alén also taking wins for the Lancia works team. When Lancia management decided to withdraw from WRC in 1991, they handed the Delta’s reins to an Italian squad: the historic ‘Jolly Club’. Built from a well preserved Delta Integrale imported into the UK in 2000, the car seen here is a fantastic reproduction of the Jolly Club Repsol Integrale rallied by Sainz and Moya for the 1993 WRC season. Constructed using many rare and original works parts, and finished in the iconic and striking reproduction paint scheme (not vinyl) measured carefully from El Matador’s original works car, this Delta is guaranteed to stop traffic wherever it arrives. This car is not all about ‘show’: it has more than enough ‘go’ to underscore its visual impact. The full Group A engine with correct Abarth intercooler and airbox produces 400 bhp, controlled by a MoTeC M800 ECU through a choice of maps. Twin master cylinders manage Alcon brakes with a dash-mounted adjuster and hydraulic handbrake. The myriad works parts used on this Delta include everything from the fuel tank and works rear firewall, alloy radiator and Abarth heater box to the Abarth roof vent: even the spare wheel clamp is a Lancia works item. Kevlar sump and diff guards are fitted,

with original Speedline wheels carrying carbon brake cooling discs. A carbon dash panel with digital display also features an Abarth boost gauge. Sitting in the driver’s seat, one is surrounded by period detail. Custommade replica seats with Sabelt harnesses continue the Repsol theme, while the rainbow door cards and manual window regulators are correct for the Delta’s lightweight doors. A Terratrip navigation system is installed, with full intercom and fire suppression systems. A detachable Momo steering wheel, push button start and emergency cut-off switches are also fitted. From the works lamp pod to the tubular diff carrier and the UK ‘Torino’style registration number, this painstaking Jolly Club Delta replica has taken more than three years to create, with no expense spared. The Integrale is an approved participant in Italian Historic Lancia Club events and was signed at one such event by Markku Alén. This exceptional Group A Integrale Evolution replica would be perfect for the growing number of rally tribute events, such as the San Marino Rallylegend, Eifel Rally or Slowly Sideways gatherings. While the car does not currently hold an FIA HTP or MSA Logbook, it would be possible to bring the Integrale to this logical conclusion by incorporating a number of changes, rendering it eligible for FIA historic events of the future. In order to obtain the MSA papers and comply with the regulations, should you wish to, we are informed that the car will need a number of minor changes including the necessary restrictor, new seats and belts.With ‘proper’ rally cars now changing hands for millions of euros and works parts becoming almost impossible to find, now is the time to buy a car like this.

2000 TATUUS FORMULA RENAULT KIMI RAIKKONEN CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING CAR
Tatuus is an Italian chassis manufacturer founded by Artico Sandona in 1980 initially building single-seat racing cars for the 500cc and 1000cc Formula Monza championship. Around 15 of these early cars were built with Sandona competing in Formula Monza and Luca Melgrati achieving the first success for the team by winning the Formula Panda Monza championship with Sandona finishing second. Tatuus became the team and chassis to beat and further success followed with Melgrati winning the championship again in 1985 and 1986. For the 1988 season, the Italian manufacturer was contracted to construct the cars for the new Formula König. These cars were proper space-framed framed, slicks and wings racecars and the first season was won by a certain young, soon to be famous, Michael Schumacher. However, the marque’s place in motor racing history was ensured when Renault Sport entrusted Tatuus with the construction and development of their new carbon-fibre Formula Renault 2000 and the company would eventually build around 930 of these cars.

He enjoyed an impressive first year, achieving four points-scoring finishes and eight top eight places. With a yearend tally of nine points and a further handful from his team-mate Nick Heidfeld, Sauber achieved their best ever result of fourth in the constructors’ championship. Following its success this car was then campaigned by Leighton Walker before being replaced in 2002. It was then laid up until in 2005 when Manor Motorsport rebuilt the monocoque with its original engine and gearbox. This is a great chance to purchase a piece of British motor racing history, with the impeccable provenance of being the car that started the career of a World Champion.
Built in 2000, this particular example was purchased by Manor Motorsport, who contested the British Formula Renault Championship with (later to be Formula One World Champion) Kimi Raikkonen as their new young driver. He proved unstoppable, winning seven out of ten events in Formula Renault UK, resulting in him winning that Championship is this very car. This was to prove the start of his Formula 1 career as, on the basis of these results, Peter Sauber gave the Finn a test with the Sauber Formula One team in September 2000 at Mugello. Further tests followed in Jerez and Barcelona, leading to Sauber signing Räikkönen for the 2001 season. Despite some critics

They did, however, enter seventy-four Grand Prix and were unique at one stage producing an F1 car with their own chassis and engine; only Ferrari had the same in-house facility. Founded by Erich Zakowski in 1968, they were actively involved in many forms of motorsport and employed many well-known drivers - Klaus Ludwig, Manfred Winkelhock, Jonathan Palmer, Martin Brundle and Bernd Schneider all drove Zakspeeds from F1 to Touring Cars. Built and prepared by Mark Wright Motorsport, this FIA Escort BDG is well regarded and accepted as a fully developed front running historic racer. It is engineered and finished to a very high standard in its recreated form as the famous Europa-Mobel Zakspeed Escort with full MSA and HTP papers.

In 1963, Chevrolet introduced the (C2) Corvette Stingray. It was one of the most exciting introductions ever, but the Stingray’s roots actually went back to 1956. In a reversal of the norm, a racing car-the Corvette SS, was the basis for the new road car and the genesis was plain to see.

GT3 racing is fabulous, but running at the ‘front end’ with so many competitive cars has now become very expensive in terms of the initial team set up and race by race running costs. Whilst thrilling to drive and impressive to listen to and look at, the current crop of cars are becoming ever more complex and costly to run, with life on the major units such as the engine and gearboxes becoming shorter and the numbers getting bigger. Sadly, these large initial costs may well result in fewer and fewer people having the privilege to experience the thrill of racing GT3 cars. Thankfully however, Silverstone Auctions are very happy to offer a well proven and refined 2008 Dodge Viper GT3 that is accompanied by a truly comprehensive spares package including a spare engine with 0 miles on the unit.

1963 FIAT 850TC ABARTH (REPLICA) RACE CAR
Introduced in 1955 and produced until 1969, the Fiat 600 was the marque’s first rear-engine car. It was built along with the 600 twodoor sedan and the innovative Multipla, which predated the minivan by some 30 years. Whilst outwardly small and riding on a wheelbase just shy of 80 inches, the 600 provided remarkable passenger and luggage space thanks to its rear-mounted inline four-cylinder engine. The updated 600D debuted in the autumn of 1960 with an enlarged 767cc engine, swivelling vent windows and additional louvres on the engine compartment lid. At the end of 1960, the Fiat-Abarth 850 TC (Turismo Competizione in Italian) was introduced using the Fiat 600 bodyshell and incorporating high-performance upgrades supplied by Abarth.

This particular example was delivered in 1963 to the USA as a road going, left-hand drive, ‘suicide-door’ Fiat 600. During its life in the States, it was converted to an Abarth replica with body modifications & an engine upgrade and was raced in the 1970s and 80s around Southern California by the then owner Randy Edwards. The car then crossed the Atlantic and was imported to the UK in 1990, being registered with the DVLA on the 2nd February of that year and granted the registration ‘APB 362A’. Invoices during the 1990s from respected specialists Middle Barton Garage show the car was maintained well, before eventually being purchased by our vendor, a husband & wife race team, in February 2010. The car was then recommissioned ready for a full season’s racing and has been successfully campaigned in the HRDC ‘Touring Greats’ Championship in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Numerous class wins and podiums have been achieved with our seasoned racers/vendors.

1965 JAGUAR S-TYPE
This 1965 S-type Jaguar was converted to a club racer car in the early 1980s to compete in the Jaguar Drivers Club pre-’68 Saloon car series. It was built by Ray Ingman & Dick Bradley and later featured on the childrens’ television programme Blue Peter, so the car became known as the ‘Blue Peter Car’. Sold in the late 1980s to Colin Thatcher and purchased by our vendor in 1991, it was raced with the JDC and Jaguar Car Club up until 1995, when it was restored by the vendor to race with the JEC Saloon Car Challenge. The car was later brought up to specification to race in the Top Hat Series and the HSCC Historic Saloon Car Register where it competed well, with its last race being in April 2010 at Cadwell Park.

The car always attracts a lot of attention and interest, as well as having many class wins to its credit. Notably, it was the overall Class A winner in the 2006 HSCC & HRSR, whilst being 3rd overall in the championship. Our vendor holds the car in such high regard, it even served as the wedding car for his daughter’s wedding! Comprehensive details of this vehicles full specification can be found on the Silverstone Auctions Website.
This S-type has raced at all the major circuits in the UK and Ireland, the Isle of Man and around Europe, including Spa, Hockenheimring and Nurburgring. It has been campaigned successfully on road and track, whilst also being involved in hill-climb and sprint events. The car was invited to compete in a support race to the 2008 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

This well prepared MGB Roadster has had thousands of pounds spent on it over the last 10 years and (we believe) has a copy of the Historical Technical Passport in the category - Competition GT Car Period F 1962 - 1965. This meant that at the time it could compete in FIA-sanctioned events for Historical Vehicles - March 2008. FEC 120D was stripped to a bare shell and rebuilt by the well-respected, Tech-Speed Motorsport of Leamington Spa and then maintained and prepared by the late Denis Welch at Oak Tree Motorsport in Staffs, subsequently being raced in the Masters Gentlemen Driver Series and the GT and Sportscar Series. At this time, it would have been eligible for HSCC Road Sports and innumerable MG Car Club events. The car has a full race specification engine built by Denis Welch (invoice for over £9,000 in the file) complete with a competition starter motor and the gearbox has straight cut close ratio gears built by Hardy Engineering feeding through a ‘Powr-Lok’ diff.

It’s also fitted with a wired in Transponder and lap time display. Anybody associated with motor racing will be aware that competition cars will normally have parts (belts, seats fire extinguisher, tank bags etc) with a ‘no longer legal’ expiry date, and purchasers are requested to make themselves aware of these. This cracking MGB has not raced for a while and may need some replacement safety items. This is a lovely full-race MGB and appears to have been properly prepared with no expense spared. Tech-Speed and Denis Welch do not mess about and we feel that this could be a very competitive car. With a small amount of tidying and some ‘pre-race prep’ you could be ‘out there’ next month!

Offered here is a recently re-commissioned Opel GT prepared to competition specification for classic endurance racing or classic hill climbing. It has raced in the ‘Swinging Sixties’ series organised by the CSSC, and whilst it has only been hill-climbed in France and the Channel Islands it is fitted with the appropriate transducer for UK events. The vendor undertook an extensive overhaul to bring the car up to the standard you see today with the work being carried out by a former 70’s F1 race mechanic and all-round veteran of motor sport. This Opel is powered by a period 2.4 litre CIH engine with Risse Motor Sports parts including a special camshaft, custom pistons, a lightweight flywheel and a racing clutch, all carefully balanced. Fuel is supplied through a couple of 45DCOE Webers and exhausted through a Tony Law custom-made race system. The engine produces approximately 180bhp with huge amounts of torque. The gearbox is a 5-speed ZF unit with a short throw shift all in very good condition and mated to a period rear axle and LSD. The ‘stopping’ department is courtesy of larger front disc brakes with appropriate calipers, new Mintex 1144 pads and larger than standard rear drum brakes all with servo assistance. The fuel tank is a custom-made, 80 litre, foam filled unit with twin Facet fuel pumps on individual switches to a pressure adjustable filter assembly.

1980 FORD ESCORT RS 1800
After a successful period competing in rallies in the sixties with the Mk 1 and Mk 2 Cortinas, the Ford Motor Company took a leap forward by building the Escort Twin Cam seeking eligibility for international rallies. The car was an immediate success with Roger (Albert) Clark at the wheel, winning the 1968 Tulip, Circuit of Ireland and Acropolis Rallies in quick succession. In 1970, the engine was upgraded to a 16 valve BDA, officially homologated at 1,601 cc to allow eventual enlargement to 2 litres with an alloy block in 1972. In this specification, the car won three RAC Rallies in succession, one by Clark, and two with the first of the ‘Flying Finns’, Timo Makinen at the wheel. A major revamp in 1975 introduced the new shape Mk 2 Escort but the mechanicals remained significantly unchanged. It was not just the works Ford team that was successful in Mk 2 Escorts, as virtually every British privateer driver used an Escort and it was to become the most successful rally car in the world. The car for sale here, recently driven by Matt Edwards from North Wales, is without doubt, the most successful in the last few years. It was originally owned by Baz Jordan and had a Holbay engine but this engine gave up the ghost on Matt’s first event. After this, famous Escort guru Geoff Jones took over the preparation of the car in his workshop near Machynlleth in West Wales. Geoff is not just a builder of cars, but a hugely successful driver who does test and development work for many teams throughout the world, and his first step was to order a BDG engine from Paul Gardner Engines in Lancashire. Anyone, even slightly interested in rallying, knows the unmistakable sound of the high revving BDG engines which now produce up to 275 bhp but this particular engine was set up to sacrifice a little power in exchange for mid-range torque and drivability. Jones then spent some time on

the suspension and used his expertise and years of knowledge to make small modifications which resulted in a car, that those who have driven it, say handles and stops like no other Escort they have experienced. One of the toughest British rallies in many years was the RAC in 2014, specifically on the first night with fog and slippery roads, and Matt was in no doubt that his 58 second lead after only twenty minutes of competition was largely down to Geoff providing a car that did everything required in the most difficult conditions. This car is fitted with a close ratio, straight cut Rocket type gearbox with zero competition miles since a full rebuild by John Roberts, who also rebuilt the Atlas axle with a 5.1:1 ZF differential and the axle has less than 250 miles of competition use since then. The Gardner engine has only had nine hours competition use so has plenty of life before a rebuild is required. New front discs and pads have also been fitted. Before its last event the car, which has a full historic specification, welded-in roll cage, was treated to New Forest arches and a complete respray and was fitted with a new RSD professional wiring loom. Seats and belts are in date currently but will need to be replaced for the 2017 season. Matt is only selling the car as he is intending to compete in the 2016 British Rally Championship for modern cars. For anyone who wants to move into Historic Rallying for the first time or move up to the top class and wants a car to help them to do this, this Escort must be the car to purchase. A small spares package will be supplied with the car. Geoff Jones is more than happy to continue looking after the car and deliver it to and from events, and Matt, who is an experienced rally instructor, will provide one day’s help and support at a test day to enable the new owner to be fully up to speed before the first competitive event.

In 1962 Ford introduced the Anglia Super to the range with a higher level of equipment. Engine capacity was increased to 1198cc and it was now fitted with the all-synchromesh Cortina four-speed gearbox. There was more chrome, a luxury interior and a heater as standard. Strap on a pair of spot lights and you had a useful rally car. The engine was capable of being modified to produce much more power and it became the motive power unit for various forms of motorsport. The Ford Anglia was entered in the Monte Carlo Rally from 1960 - 65 finishing consistently above its station and today rally and racing Anglias are still an important and competitive part of the historic scene and are homologated by the FIA at 997cc, 1198cc and1340cc. Offered here is a competition prepared 1960 Ford Anglia 105E with a superb history. A letter in the file from 11th November 1992 states that the car was previously owned by a Mr John Charles D. Smith, at which point it was registered URX 949. The car was eventually passed down to a Mrs P.G. Griffin, daughter of the first owner, who later sold it to a Mr Toplis of Nottingham. URX was built up into ‘club rally’ spec and then sold to well-known Cobra racer John Atkins of Banbury. He persuaded the DVLA to release the iconic Anglebox registration ‘105E’ made notorious in the early days of saloon car racing by the infamous ‘Doc’ Merfield. FIA Appendix ‘K’ papers as a 1200 were gained in 2000 and the car was invited to the Goodwood Revival where it finished 12th of 22 competitors in the St Mary’s Trophy race that included famous names like, Smokin’ John Rhodes, Jackie Oliver, Gerry Marshall and Silverstone Auction’s very own MD Nick Whale. Atkins repeated the exercise the following year before dismantling the car and selling the car to Alex Postan who rebuilt it as a 1650cc Anglia in the style of the Superspeed cars as raced by John Young and Chris Craft. Another Goodwood Revival weekend was completed in 2003, this time driven by Atkins and Karim Ojjeh. Each year at Goodwood, the roof of this Anglia was signed by many of the drivers in attendance,

including motorsport legends Barry Sheene, Frank Sytner, Steve Soper & Derek Bell to name but a few.... Alex Postan, himself no stranger to motorsport, rebuilt the car for a final time with an Autosportif all steel 1650 cc Ford pre-Crossflow engine, along with a full gearbox rebuild and some other remedial work at a total cost of over £10,000. The car was dyno tested by DTW engines and showed a figure of 151 bhp at 7500 rpm. Raced and rallied in England and on the continent, ‘105E’ has proved to be an excellent, multi-discipline, tarmac competition car. To the Historic Ford aficionado, ‘105E’ has the ultimate specification: all steel 1650cc pre-crossflow with twin Weber 45 carburettors and A6 camshaft; the gearbox is a straight-cut, TranX three rail, Rocket ‘box; and the “A” frame rear axle has a Quaife Torsen differential and three-piece competition half shafts. Finished in dark metallic blue with a silver roof, the cockpit houses 2 Sparco seats and safety harnesses. There is also a plumbed in fire extinguisher behind the driver’s seats, hidden neatly underneath the original rear seats which still remain in situ. Potential buyers should satisfy themselves as to the legality and currency of all the safety equipment in this car. In the hands of our vendor, himself a successful ex-World Endurance Championship racer and multiple British Modsports Champion, the ‘Anglebox’ has recently only made it out into the competitive arena a handful of times, the last of which was at Prescott last year. This versatile little Anglia is crying out not to be stuck in a garage in the Cotswolds with a doting custodian, but should be back ‘out there’ on the circuits with the HSCC, tarmac rallying, Prescott and Shelsley, or possibly even used as the most fun way to get between pubs on a Sunday morning!

1989 PORSCHE 964 CARRERA 2
When the Porsche 964 was introduced in 1989 it was 85% different to the outgoing 911. The design incorporated more integral bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, most significant of which 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 and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Such was its success, that in the five years of production over 62,000 left the factory. The Porsche 964 Carrera 2 was surprisingly the only 911 the factory badged as such.

correction works were carried out at a cost of £1,000 and works to the electrics including re-wiring came to another £1,000. The car has travelled few miles since, due to the current owner’s ill health, the reason for the regretful sale. Offered with an MoT until July 2016, this ‘on the button’ Porsche is road registered and suitable for sprints, hill climbs, rallies and of course track days. At this guide price, and with race winning history, this car offers entry level Porsche competition opportunities for a fraction of the price of its contemporaries.
This manual 1989 Porsche Carrera 2 was professionally converted at a cost of £100,000 to PCGB Championship regs. In 2010 this car won the Porsche Club GB Championship (Class One) in the hands of the previous owner Marcus Carniel, winning several rounds outright along the way. With just three owners and an odometer reading of 65,300 miles, the car has benefited from a programme of mechanical works at a cost of £10,000 that included an engine and gearbox rebuild. Paint

1964 JAGUAR MK2 3.8 MO/D
Rarely do cars given a facelift look as good as the models they are intended to replace, but with the Mk2, Jaguar put paid to that particular theory. William Lyons, whilst not a trained draughtsman, was a bit more hands-on than most men in his position when it came to the final design of his beloved Jaguars. At one point the team in the drawing office developing the later XJS, were left ‘twiddling their thumbs’ until Sir William was happy with the rear-end and it wasn’t until Stan Keyworth managed to scrounge a Ferrari Dino 246GT and dropped it up to the Lyons family home on Gibbet Hill that the matter was resolved. The car was parked outside the bay window of the breakfast room for Sir William to stare at and ‘Hey Presto’ the back of the XJS came into being (have a look at a Dino and an early XJS). And so it was with the Mark 2, which was altogether a more modern and stylish car with a brighter interior and more balanced looks that most of us still admire. The 3.4 and 3.8 were the super-saloons of their day-with the 3.8 being the fastest saloon in the world at the time. The Jaguar Mk2 saloon was voted ‘Car of the Year’ when launched in 1959 and would form the mainstay of Jaguar’s saloon production until 1967. The car presented here is an original UK Mk2, 3.8 with a manual gearbox and over-drive. It was manufactured on the 7th February 1964 and despatched on the 21st February, before being distributed by Henlys of London to Page Motors of Epsom. They prepared the car for sale to its first excited owner, a Mr. J A Thurston from Epsom Downs, and it was first registered as BPB 38B (this is all supported by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate of Authenticity).

This lovely Jaguar has recently been fully resprayed in its original colour of Opalescent Silver Blue and has a grey leather interior. We are informed that structurally the car is rust-free with excellent floor pans, inner panels and under the body. The chrome work is also in very good condition for its age and everything is said to be mechanically and electrically sound. The engine shows strong oil pressure whether hot or cold, whilst the gearbox and rear axle are also working as they should with no unusual noises or vibrations. It has knock on wire wheels and still has a complete tool kit in the recess of the spare wire wheel in the boot. Our vendor has had the car serviced recently, and it has an MoT (with no advisories) until the 13th August 2016. The car has rightly been cherished by previous owners, having spent twenty years (1993-2013) in Japan, where it was thoroughly maintained and serviced annually. The fastidious owner ensured that a service record was completed, confirming that it covered just 7,522 miles over these two decades. The car was returned to these shores by our vendor who is a classic car enthusiast, and has been used sparingly since. The current indicated mileage of 82,750 cannot be completely verified, but its overall condition and performance would suggest that this may be the case.

1999 ASTON MARTIN DB7 VANTAGE
The DB7 Vantage was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, with a 6 litre V12, 48 valve engine producing 420bhp and 400 lbs/ft. of torque. The car was offered by the factory either, as a manual (with Tremec T56 6 speed) or Auto (ZF 5 Speed) transmission. The car was the first really quick DB7, after the original lacklustre straight six offered from launch was eventually dropped. Both suspension and brakes were uprated on the new Vantage and the car was extremely well received by the motoring press who appreciated the significantly increased performance and the handling improvements. Offered here, is a very early UK specification DB7 Vantage V12 Automatic supplied new in 1999. The car is supplied with a full service history from a mix of Aston Martin main dealers and recognised independent specialists such as Chiltern Aston Centre and Christian Lewis. The mileage is currently reading 73,470 miles and is supported by previous MoT Certificates and service records.

Alcantara headlining, full walnut dash, x2 sets of Keys, electric mirrors, tool kit and air conditioning (currently blowing cold). Among the many stand out features of this Aston is the quality of the, fairly rare, Sutherland Red paintwork which retains a superb shine enhanced by superb panel fit. The interior also presents well with only minor wear to the driver’s bolster, the engine bay is excellent and the wheels are in very good condition. Despite its slightly higher mileage, we feel this DB7 Vantage represents incredible value and offers a stunning opportunity to enter the rarefied world of Aston Martin ownership.
More recently this example benefitted from new trailing arms and bushes and the floor pans have also been replaced, a known weak spot on the DB7 and, in addition, new front discs and pads have been fitted within the last 1,000 miles. A large number of invoices are present in the history file and the service book is stamped almost every year since 1999. This example is finished in the very rare factory colour combination of Sutherland Red with black leather seats.

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.
complete matching numbers and is a multiple show winner. In addition, the car has been documented in numerous magazine articles that included cover shots and a 6-page centre article in Classic and Sports Car. It was also featured and tested on Top Gear with photos and signatures by driver Tiff Needell.
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, but 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. It’s with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches as the running horse in the grille, the cutaway side detailing and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car people were instantly passionate about.
Supplied with an MoT certificate and UK V5 registration, this beautiful Mustang is an opportunity not to be missed by any muscle car fans.
This, all original Mustang GT 289 Fastback was built on 15th May 1965 at the Dearborn Ford factory in Michigan. It was supplied new with the more desirable A-code 4-barrel engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, disc brakes, dual exhaust, rear valance, spot lamps and rally pack. It was, and still is, finished in Wimbledon White with ‘65 Red Crinkly vinyl pony interior. The vehicle was imported into the UK in the late 1980s and has been enthusiast owned since. It is exact to factory specification and the car has been maintained regardless of cost and dry stored since its arrival. Described by the vendor as very original and rust-free, this genuine factory GT is not an imitation, clone, tribute or recreation. It has

The 944 is a luxury sports car that was built by Porsche from 1982 to 1991 and was a step-change evolution of the preceding 924 model. The car was the brainchild of the newly appointed Peter Schutz, the CEO of the Porsche company. The bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), with a fresh interior and upgrades to the braking and suspension systems. With a brand-new Porsche designed and developed 2.5 litre four cylinder engine, the car had greater visual presence and the performance to match, plus better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts. In 1986 Porsche launched the new 944 Turbo featuring a 220bhp, 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine which was essentially a turbocharged standard unit but with strengthened internals to cope with the increase in power. The 944 Turbo was well received and sold well, prompting Porsche to revamp the model in early 1988. The ‘Turbo’ had been the basis of the highly successful and entertaining F1-supporting ‘Turbo Cup’, similar to today’s ‘GT3 Super Cup’. A decision was made to uprate the power of the full-race cars, and it was decreed that the power upgrade should be passed on to the road cars culminating in the launch of the Porsche 944 Turbo S (so-called ‘Silver Rose’ by Porsche enthusiasts). This model had a more powerful 250bhp engine and came with the ‘M030’ option consisting of Koni adjustable shocks front & rear, 16-inch Fuchs magnesium forged flat-dished alloys wheels known as the Club Sport design (similar to the Design 90 wheel) and Brembo front brakes from the Porsche 928 S4.The uprated power plant of the Turbo S became standard for the Turbo from 1989 to the end of its life. These early 1988 Turbo S cars were supplied in a distinctive ‘Silver Rose’ (LM3Z) metallic paint with a complementing burgundy ‘Studio’ plaid cloth. All cars featured a stylised ‘Turbo’ script on the wing, as a gesture to previous hyper-performance Porsches. The Turbo S cost a huge 10% more than a standard Turbo. Due to customer demands,

midway through 1988 any colour from the Porsche catalogue, along with any interior option, could be specified instead of the ‘Silver Rose’ scheme. It is believed that only 77 ‘Silver Rose’ 944s arrived in the UK (out of approximately 1200 examples world-wide). The car presented here is a genuine, limited edition 1988 ‘Silver Rose’ 944 Turbo, being registered on the 1st February 1988. The chassis and engine numbers conform to the specific ranges for these special cars. It’s an all original example with a good service and maintenance history, a complete Porsche book-pack and a spare key. This car has been used and enjoyed, as these well engineered machines were designed to do, covering 91,000 miles, but has had a recent recommissioning including belts, bearings, fluids & brakes. This thorough recommissioning was done by the Porsche technician who has serviced the car for the last 20 years. Cosmetically, the car’s bodywork is in very good condition, but the interior could possibly benefit from some additional refreshing. The initial ‘options’ chosen include: green graduated tinted windscreen (567), air-conditioning (573), Bosch ABS Braking System (593), rear split seats (685), special model 944 Turbo S 1988 Pack (758), front seats - cloth/cloth/leatherette (990). The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the ‘911 explosion’ and the smooth and nimble 944 is now happily being recognised as a very desirable classic car. These rare limited edition examples are much sought-after by Porsche enthusiasts for good reason! This car represents a very accessible route into owning an extremely limited-run Porsche.

2001 PORSCHE 911 (996) GT3 GEN 1
The Porsche 911 (996) GT3 is the spiritual successor to the original ‘73 Carrera RS, and was designed to be lightweight and performance focussed with scant regard to luxury and comfort items that would add to the car’s weight but detract from its performance. Consequentially the sound deadening was mostly removed as were the rear seats, rear loudspeakers, sunroof and air- conditioning although the latter became a, no-cost, option. The GT3 differed from its standard sibling in having an extra 60bhp (360), larger brakes, lowered and re-tuned suspension, lighter wheels and some aerodynamic tweaks. It’s also the basis of the modern day ‘Carrera Cup Car’ which Porsche race worldwide in their own ‘one make’ series, and was produced in sufficient numbers to comply with the FIA homologation requirements necessary for the 911 to compete in the GT3 Class in International Sportscar Racing. This Generation I, 996 GT3 was sold new on 12/12/2001 to its first owner in Switzerland, where it remained until 2015. Finished in Lapis Blue with a black interior and with 96,700kms (60,000mls) indicated, this Porsche car is in absolutely superb condition and has clearly been well looked after as suggested by its service records:

1989 BMW E30 M3 JOHNNY CECOTTO
The pedigree of the original E30 M3 is obvious all the way from its race-bred four cylinder motor (designed to rev past 9000 RPM in race form) and dog-leg five-speed gearbox to those wheel arch blisters, designed, not to look cool on the Kings Road, but to accept slick tyres of up to 10in in width. The E30 M3 was the first purpose built saloon produced as a racing homologation special by BMW’s Motorsport division. Introduced in 1986 as a road car, it dominated Touring Car racing throughout the World taking countless championships including the prestigious German, Australian and British titles, not to mention the World Touring Car Championship in 1987 and in the process quietly becoming one of the most legendary BMWs ever. To celebrate the success of their factory driver, Johnny Cecotto, BMW produced a special edition of the M3 in 1989 for the European market. The car featured the new 2.3-litre S14 engine - capable of 215 bhp, the M3 Evolution II front and rear spoilers, an illuminated gear knob, ‘M3’ door sill plates and a plaque on the centre console. The car was available in 3 colours; Macao Blue Metallic, Misano Red and Nogaro Silver whilst different trim options were available for the interior. The UK market received the E30 M3 ‘Roberto Ravaglia’ edition, which in essence was the same as the Cecotto model, save for the signature on the numbered plaque on the centre console. In total, BMW produced a combined number of 505 cars, 480 being Cecotto and 25 being Ravaglia special editions. This particular example is a ‘Johnny Cecotto’ E30 M3, numbered 276 of 480 cars. It was supplied new in Gibraltar on 17th August 1989 by Bassadone Motors Ltd and was finished in Misano Red (colour code 236), featuring an Anthracite M-Technic cloth interior with contrasting Bison Black leather. Options ordered from new included; electric front windows, BMW sound system and air-conditioning. The car was first registered in the UK on 12th February 1991, and went on to have 3

owners before our vendor purchased the car on 15th January 2000 when the car had covered around 119,000km. During his attentive ownership, our vendor has had this car maintained by marque specialists, Moseley Motor Spares, for which there are many invoices in the history file. After some time, the engineer at the aforementioned specialist decided to ‘go it alone’ and in doing so, set up AutoTech Performance Ltd in Telford. All maintenance duties on this E30 M3 were also moved to the new garage, and so we can confirm that this car has been looked after by the same engineer for the last 16 years. The last check-up was carried out in January of this year when both rear driveshafts were replaced. Several years ago, the car was treated to a full respray, and we can confirm that even though our vendor believes in driving his pride and joy on a regular basis, the paint hasn’t suffered as a result and still looks fantastic. The wheels were refurbished in April 2015 and remain in very good condition. Contained within the history file are 17 MoT certificates, the latest of which expires on 19th January 2017. A BMW Europa service book and the BMW maintenance book is also present and shows 25 service stamps. Open the boot and you will find the tool kit, warning triangle and original unopened first aid kit still in place! Being a ‘sunroof delete’ ordered model, this special edition M3 remains true to its motorsport roots. Supplied with a UK V5c bearing registration ‘B3 ENN’, a current MoT and lots of history, this usable and collectable car is now showing just over 202,000 km or 125,000 miles on the odometer, and who can blame the vendor for driving this M3 as was always intended! This 80’s icon is now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

1956 JAGUAR XK140 ROADSTER
Jaguar cars launched the XK140 at the London Motor Show in October 1954 with a raft of improvements over its predecessor, the XK 120. The styling was enhanced with a revised grill and larger bumpers along with new rear lights, which now incorporated the indicators. The handling was improved by rack and pinion steering and telescopic dampers and the interior space was enlarged to allow the addition of occasional rear seats. This coupé was now a real tourer with plenty of power from the 3.4litre, twin overhead camshaft, straight-six engine, which had powered Jaguar to victory at Le Mans in ‘51 and ‘53 (as proudly displayed on the red enamel badge in the centre of the boot). Coupled with the Moss close ratio gearbox, it made the XK140 one of the fastest and most stylish modes of transport available at the time. This particular example is a 1956 left-hand drive, XK140 Roadster and was first delivered to Jaguar Cars, New York on the 14th December of that year, finished originally in Carmen Red with Black Leather. The car spent most of its life in the USA before being carefully selected and brought to the UK by our vendor in 2014. A matching numbers example, it has clearly been well maintained and much loved and unlike many cars from the United States, it has accumulated an ample history file with invoices dating back to the 1960s! Amongst these records are details of 453 UYK’s substantial restoration, which took place over numerous years a short while prior to coming to

the UK. This restoration was carefully and tastefully undertaken with the only substantial change to the cars originality being a colour change from its previous bright Carmen Red to the much more attractive colour of Jaguar Dark Green, and with the steel wheels also painted in this colour and enhanced by chrome Rim Embellishers and Hub Caps, this 140 has a wonderful ‘period’ look. The engine bay looks very, very good as does the boot interior which is complete with a set of period tools attached to the underside of the spare wheel cover. The interior looks in excellent shape with the seats appearing to have been recently restored and the black door cards, dashboard, and carpets are as you would hope. There is a small copper plaque, attached to the dashboard behind the passenger grab handle, declaring this Jaguar to have been a factory ‘Replica’ of the car used at Jabbeke in Belgium which achieved a speed of 141.5mph, but we cannot warrant this. Since its arrival in the UK, the car has been subject to further finishing touches and re-commissioning work to ensure it is in superb all-round condition. This included a full refurb of the front suspension and the brake system along with the fitment of a new fuel tank. The car has also benefitted from a new tonneau cover along with the previously new side screens modified to ensure a really good fit with the hood. A most admirable car presented with an excellent history file and in similarly fabulous condition. A true all round great of the Jaguar marque, equally at home as an elegant continental tourer or on twisty country lanes.

1963 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY CONVERTIBLE
Now in its sixth generation, the Corvette began life in 1953 with the C1 - a model that inspired a generation of young Americans and gave the Ford empire a nine-year headache. However it was the C2, the immortal Sting Ray produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolet’s cash registers ringing and left us with the most desired and collectible Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray’s unique and unforgettable form are said to include: the E-type Jaguar, a Mako shark once caught by Mitchell, the ‘Q Corvette’ concept car of 1957 and the ‘Mitchell Sting Ray’. By the autumn of 1959 elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720 - the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray as we know it. This particular left-hand drive example was manufactured at Chevrolet’s St Louis, Missouri factory in early 1963. Originally finished in Saddle Tan metallic with Saddle leather upholstery (the same livery it sports today), the ‘Vette is powered by a 340bhp, 5.4 litre ‘small block’ V8. Arriving in the UK in early 1989 it was first registered on 7/04/1989 and was enjoyed by five owners until being acquired by Keith Wilcox from Peterborough on 23/04/08. The Corvette had grown a little tired at that point and he decided that it was about time that it was returned to full health, so immediately commenced a full restoration. The work was carried out over a period of time and is too extensive to list here but the key points are below; At some point, the car had been painted Red but the decision was taken to return it to its original colour of Saddle Tan. This work was carried out in 2008/09 and involved a bare metal respray and even

today the car is almost as good underneath as it is on top. The interior was re-trimmed in Saddle Tan leather which was a rare option in period and fitted with new leather seat covers, new door cards and panels, new carpets and seat belts. The engine was fully rebuilt and there are lots of invoices for the relevant parts (mostly shipped from the States) and the brakes, suspension and running gear naturally received the same sort of attention with new bushes and bearings throughout. The gearbox was overhauled and an expensive straight-through exhaust was fitted. Purchased last year by our vendor, a respected Aston Martin restorer, the Vette has continued to be fettled and detailed. He has paid careful attention to door and panel fit, the trim has been tweaked, the lovely white soft top now fits well, the very rare original wheel trims have been restored and the even rarer ‘hardtop’ has just been painted body colour to Aston Martin standards. This is a very special 1963 Corvette in a rare original colour with correct VIN and trim tags. It looks amazing, sounds even more amazing, and goes really well with a smooth gearchange and excellent brakes. This may not be everyone’s choice of Sixties Classic and it definitely wouldn’t suit a ‘shrinking violet’. This is an iconic and powerful sports car that does everything that Italian exotics do but at a third of the price. Things don’t fall off, you won’t need a trickle charger, a cambelt change every three days, or a bloke with a B.Sc. to change the plugs, and when you ‘woofle’ down the High Street on a sunny afternoon, people will look at you and think California and Fonzie and “Happy Days” and they’ll smile !

1996 FERRARI F355 SPIDER
The F355 Spider debuted in 1995, its Pininfarina-penned lines honed by 1,800 hours in the wind tunnel, resulting in a blend of aerodynamic performance and elegant style. For the first time on a Ferrari, the semiautomatic soft-top was powered electrically. Initially, the Spider was offered with a 6-speed transmission and just 2,664 of these were produced. The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V8 generated a stunning 380 horsepower at a spine-tingling 8,250 rpm. The new electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface. Around Ferrari’s 1.86 mile Fiorano test track, the 355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12 cylinder 512 TR and that level of performance combined with its sensational shape made it a worldwide success story. The Ferrari 355 was a huge improvement over its predecessor in every respect and turned out to be a landmark car for the Italian marque. Considered the forerunner of all modern Ferraris, the 355 is a car that is every bit as exciting and beautiful, not to mention fast as any Ferrari should be, but it’s all available in a very accessible and well-mannered package. Added to that impressive cocktail, the Spider offers the pleasures of open-air driving with much better access to the grin-inducing howl of that powerful V8 at a heady 8,250 rpm.

Having covered a mere 27,135 miles (43,671 kilometres) from new, the car is described by the vendor as in excellent condition. The Rosso paintwork retains a superb shine and the panel gaps are consistent across all panels. The black interior is presented in lovely condition and looks fresh and in addition, the engine bay is stunning and has been carefully detailed in recent months. Throughout its life, this car has been carefully maintained showing 7 stamps in the service book from, largely Ferrari, specialists. The most recent service was carried out in the last 3,500 kilometres by a Ferrari main agent. Having covered a mere 27,135 miles, this 355 is ready for many more miles of fun with its next owner. The car will be supplied with a fresh MoT certificate before the sale, accompanying NOVA reference and Ferrari leather book pack containing service books & driver’s manuals. 355s with a manual gearbox are in the minority and the most sought after by purists, and this is a wonderful example of a timeless modern classic that is considered by many to be one of Pininfarina’s finest ever designs.

Porsche introduced the 356A at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1955 which thoroughly updated their 356 line-up of coupés, cabriolets and speedsters although Reutter remained the coachbuilder. Improving tyre technology enabled more effective suspension settings and higher fuel octanes allowed better performance from the 1600cc engine. Externally the 356A was only slightly different with wider tyres, a rubber strip below the doors and a curved screen marking the changes. The interior now received a flat-face dashboard, locking glove box and a radio. Other appointments included a headlight flasher, automatic interior lighting and self-cancelling indicators although a steering wheel lock and a clock remained an option. Offered here is a remarkable example of a Porsche 356A T1, which is in very original condition and features some unique production features. The history file shows that it was imported from the USA in 1997 and since then it has remained part of a large private collection. Originally owned by Mr Jan Hauge of Seattle, Washington State, the car has now been fully registered in UK and an MoT certificate is supplied with the car.

The car has just benefited from a full photographic bare metal respray in the last few months in its original colour. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity states that the original colour was indeed ‘Meissen Blau’, which is the oldest racing Porsche heritage colour ever produced and the rarest of all 356 colour codes. The original engine was replaced whilst in the USA, and a desirable 1600S engine was substituted. Additional features include original 1600 S hubcaps, Blaupunkt radio, full tool kit, original interior and all aluminium trims and door furniture. In Meissen Blue, this little Porsche has to be the most striking 356 we have ever offered for sale.

1990 MERCEDES-BENZ 190 E 2.5-16 EVOLUTION II
Twenty-five years ago, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II thrilled professionals and the general public alike when it was unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show. Legend has it that the limited run of 502 cars were sold pre-launch, possibly being squirrelled away by international car collectors. The bitter rivalry between BMW and Mercedes-Benz in saloon car racing throughout Europe helped hone the greatest touring cars of the era. The Evo II had to win against one of the best touring cars of all time, the E30 M3. Compromise was out of the question and the touring car, developed for Group A racing using this sports saloon as a basis, went on to acquire legendary status. Mercedes-Benz took the first three places in the DTM championship in the 1992 season with this vehicle, which was referred to succinctly as the “Evo II”. The engine’s output had been raised once again in comparison to the first Evolution model from the previous year, the Evo II now generating 235 horsepower. The top speed was 250 km/h, and the Evo II accelerated
70 RACE R ET R O CLASSIC CA R SH OW SA LE 2 0 16
from a standing start to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. The body had also undergone further refinement on an aesthetic and aerodynamic level and the car’s sporting pedigree was emphasised by its muscular stance. The Evo II’s body kit is perhaps the most outrageous ever applied to a production car, and the fact it was a product of the ultra-conservative world of early nineties Mercedes-Benz is even more incredible. Its ostentatious fully adjustable rear spoiler was aerodynamically perfect and the front splitter would make a decent job of cutting the grass. However, despite outward appearances, the Evo II is a comfortable and tractable daily driver. This Evo II is number 262 of 502 cars ever made by Mercedes-Benz and was supplied new to Germany, where it formed part of a significant collection. It was then acquired by a gentleman in Guernsey and sold to its third owner in the UK. The vehicle was registered G191WGX in 2006. In 2007, it was exported to New Zealand and resided there until the end of last year, when it was repatriated back to the UK. The most

impressive aspect of this Mercedes-Benz is the incredibly low mileage of just 2,772 kilometers or 1,723 miles. Consequently, the car is presented in superb order and has clearly been cherished throughout its life. The bodywork is finished in black and the paint retains an excellent shine across all panels. The panel fit is superb and the condition of the exterior is simply the best we have ever seen. The same goes for the black interior that seems to have little or no wear to either the leather seats, dash, door cards or headlining. The engine bay is a joy to behold and the components have been superbly detailed. Evidently, this incredible homologation special would be a welcome contender at any Concours event around the world. Supplied with its operating manual, service book, some invoices for servicing, spare key, full tool kit, and car cover, this Evo II has recently had a major service in New Zealand at a cost of nearly £3,500 and has travelled a mere 50 miles since. In addition, there is correspondence from previous owners where they describe it as simply “irreplaceable.” Any fan of the legendary ‘Group A’ Touring Car era needs to see this car to truly appreciate both its originality and splendid collector status. Without question, one of the lowest mileage examples one could ever find in the market today.

1974 DATSUN 260Z ‘SUPER SAMURAI’
The Datsun 240Z, (latterly the 260Z and 280Z) was the first generation of ‘Z’ two-seat coupés, produced by Nissan in Japan from 1969 to 1978. Its dramatic looks owed a considerable amount to a 1960’s styling concept drawn by Count Albrecht Goertz for Datsun, presumably at a time when they were considering ways to break into the European sports car market. The early cars were powered by a lusty 2.4 litre, straight six, overhead cam engine developing around 150bhp resulting in a 0-60 time of 8 seconds and a top speed of 125mph. A five-speed manual gearbox was standard and the car featured independent suspension all round with MacPherson struts at the front and Chapman links at the rear. Rack and pinion power steering and front disc rakes meant that the 240Z was a thoroughly modern package. Continuing through the 1975-1978 model years, the 260Z coupé replaced the 240. The engine was enlarged with a longer stroke to 2.6 litres with a consequential increase in power to 165 bhp and the car was stiffened by the extension of the chassis rails and the addition of a rear roll bar. In the 70s, 240 and 260Zs were hot property everywhere, and given that the car’s drivetrain was heavily based on the 510 saloon used widely in motorsport, it was only a matter of time before Zs (or the 24 ounce as they were frequently called) came under the scrutiny of those companies that like to modify the road going products of mass manufacturers. One of the most notable of these was the Samuri Motor Company, who in the early 70s, built modified 240 and 260Zs for sale as turnkey offerings. One such was Spike Anderson. Having trained at Broadspeed in the 1960s working on Minis and Anglias, he went on to set up his own business called Race Head Services and one of the first cars to benefit from his experience was a humble Datsun 1200 from which he

managed to extract 105bhp! This was the first car to carry the “Samuri” name, a deliberate mis-spelling as the ‘Samurai’ trade name was not available. Having bought a standard 240Z in 1973, it wasn’t long before the Z was taken apart and put together faster. Very much faster. A UK car magazine published a glowing review of Spike’s personal car, and the next thing he knew the Samuri Motor Company was born, offering modified Zs and performance parts to the buying public. Spike and the Samuri name are also notable for the all-conquering, “Big Sam” 240Z full race car, but that is a story for another day. This original Super Samurai is one of just two 260Zs built by Spike Anderson’s Samuri Conversions of Croughton. Understood to be the 10th Samuri built according to the Register it was converted to its current spec using a gas-flowed cylinder head, three 48 Dellorto Carburettors, vented discs with four-pot calipers, deep chin spoiler, a period roll hoop and competition suspension. The car was raced in the late 70s and early 1980s before being laid up for 25 years until being re-discovered in 2010, at which point it was found to be in remarkably original and basically untouched condition other then a colour change from red to black. The discovery of the original (110) Red hiding under the black enabled Spike to confirm the car’s identity as genuine, and he remembered it fondly. Shortly after unearthing the car, it was fully restored from the bare shell up by the well know marque specialist Z-Farm at a cost of over £27,000. Included with the car’s documentation and history is a full account of this restoration including invoices and images. Today, a genuine Super Samurai is highly sought after, and this is a wonderful opportunity to own a car so perfectly reminiscent of the seventies when men had long hair, flared trousers, and drove rorty, bright, ‘look at me’, Japanese sports cars.

The Ferrari 328 GTS and GTB had their worldwide debut at the 1985 Frankfurt motor show. Its styling is an obvious evolution of the Ferrari 308 series, with Pininfarina’s Leonardo Fioravanti softening his previous design so that it remained a popular choice with the Ferrari aficionados. While some prefer the purer lines of the original car, there’s no denying that the 328’s more grown up drive and more advanced mechanicals moved the game on considerably. As with the 308, there were two body styles available from the factory, the GTB coupé and the targa-roofed GTS. Becoming instantly popular, Ferrari went on to produce 7,400 variants worldwide during the production run which finished late in 1989. Under the engine cover is the same transversely-mounted, fuelinjected V8 engine from the Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole, with an increase in displacement to 3.2 litres. Performance, handling and road holding are a big step on from its predecessor, although it retains all the benefits of the Ferrari 308’s independent suspension and five-speed manual gearbox. Now regarded as a true design classic, this ultimate 270 bhp sportscar of the day reached 0 - 60 in 5.5 seconds and went to a top speed of 166mph. Another significant difference over the Ferrari 308 is the use of galvanized steel, which greatly reduces potential rust problems compared to its forebear. The early models of the 328 have an edge as far as collectability goes, thanks to several unique interior details, as well as the elegant concave wheel design. Delivered new to Switzerland and first registered 01/02/1988, this striking Ferrari 328GTS is finished in rare Bianco with blue leather and comes Complete with leather service booklet, tools, Jack, Targa roofbag and even the genuine Ferrari torch.

1981 LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH LP400 S
Designing a successor to the delicious Lamborghini Miura was something of a challenge for Marcello Gandini, however with the arrival of the ‘Countach’ in 1971, he demonstrated to the world that his ability to create automotive drama was alive and well. In fact, the word ‘Countach’ is Piedmontese slang for something that visually shocks, and has no direct translation but ‘Wow’ is probably the most polite. The first Countach appeared at the Geneva Show in 1971-the same year that ‘Hot Pants’ appeared on our city streets - with a similar ability to distract. Big, bright and brash like the rest of the 70s, the Countach was to remain in production, through various iterations for 15 years. With hindsight, it’s clear that the car’s ‘flying wedge’ design, sloping snout that appeared to descend directly from the windscreen and innovative ‘scissor doors’ became a template for every ‘supercar’ that followed. The original, beautifully clean profile was gradually bedecked with ‘wings and things’ as fashions changed over the years and frequent small mechanical changes were often the result of customer input in their capacity as ‘unwitting development engineers’. In 1977, the first major update of the Countach, the LP400S, was prompted by the arrival of Pirelli’s P7 tyre which, when mounted on cast alloy Campagnolo Bravo rims (15x8.5” and 15x12”) dramatically
74 RAC E R ETR O CLASSIC CA R SH OW SA LE 2 0 16
improved the car’s dynamics. The surrounding bodywork, arches and spoilers all grew in size and drama. With the new wheels came larger (11”) discs and shock absorbers, and the suspension geometry was redesigned to suit. Power and torque from the 3,929cc, V12 were increased (370 bhp/ 9,500 rpm and 267lbft/ 5,500 rpm) and a rear wing, which was about the size of Wales was a $5,000 optional extra. It’s not a secret that the wing added weight and drag and did nothing for downforce but, hey, if you’ve got it-flaunt it. The Series Three LP400S (Chassis nos. 1121312 to 1121468) was the final development before the later LP500S, the 5000 Quattrovalvole and the 25th Anniversary cars. The cockpit was a little more spacious and the ride height was raised a tad, however the neater (pre-US regs) front and rear bumpers and the classic ‘telephone dial’ wheels were retained. Chassis “1121320”, for sale here is a right-hand drive, LP400S-Srs. III which, we believe, was built in late 1981. Its first UK owner was Tim Dutton Wooley (of Dutton Cars fame) who acquired the car on 21/09/82 at which point it was finished in Gold and sported the optional wing. The car was sold on 08/04/87 to Steve Ashton who had the wing removed and the car fully resprayed in Dark Blue in April ‘89. He was obviously an enthusiast and this car features heavily with

The engine bay and baggage compartments are tidy but could do with a little detailing.
A later owner was Colin Howard who re-instated the big wing and had the car professionally painted (May ‘98) in Lamborghini Pearl Yellow as it remains today. Although this Countach has had a number of owners (including dealers), this needn’t ring alarm bells as it’s accompanied by one of the most comprehensive history files we have ever seen. Nearly all of the MoTs are present, allowing for periods when it was SORN’d, and there are dozens and dozens of invoices relating to work carried out over the years.

Designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models; most prominently in the way that the bumpers, spoilers and wheel arches blended cohesively into the bodywork. It was the first iteration of the 911 to be offered with Porsche’s ‘Tiptronic’ automatic transmission and all wheel drive as options. Porsche chose to re-use the 3.3-litre, turbocharged 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 5,750rpm. The sleek silhouette of the 964 was indicative of Porsche’s new design philosophy, and is regarded in hindsight, as one of the prettiest 911s ever built and certainly, in period, was one of the most powerful. ‘H939 AGF’ Vin no.: WPOZZZ96ZMS471929, Engine No.:61MO2963 has a very interesting history and is a lovely example of the iconic and dramatic looking 964 Turbo. Delivered new in 1991 to an owner in Stuggart with a manual gearbox and in left-hand drive form, the car was later imported back into the UK in July 1997 when it was professionally converted to right-hand drive using genuine Porsche parts throughout. The current vendor, whose family run the UK’s largest dedicated car museum with over 400 exhibits, then acquired the car in July 2001 being just the second owner after import. Used sporadically after that, the car has since resided in the museum since 2006, being started and moved occasionally. The ever changing priorities at the museum and the requirement for more space have dictated that the Porsche finds a

All those items that may suffer from lack of use; wiper blades, fuel pumps, brake booster pump, and the battery have been replaced with new Porsche parts. The exhaust was removed and overhauled and refitted with new exhaust manifold studs.The brakes have been overhauled with new discs and pads all round, again using genuine Porsche parts and the wheels have been refurbed and shod with a shiny new set of Pirelli P Zero tyres.The paintwork has been refreshed in areas infamous for stone chips on this model and any cracked light lenses replaced. All of this extensive work is valued at over £14,000 and has resulted in the car sitting nicely on its toes, and with a fresh MoT, is ready to go. H939AGF presents well in black, and with the black leather interior and only 60,000 miles on the odometer, this is a very approachable, well rested, dramatic late-eighties Porsche 911 Turbo. Sold with its original black leather Porsche embossed folder containing the original handbook and paperwork, and an extensive file of maintenance invoices, SORN and MoT certificates. We are happy to offer this very usable example of the ever popular and collectable 964 Turbo, which at this competitive guide price certainly looks like a promising proposition.

2002 GARDNER DOUGLAS MKIII. ‘COBRA RE-CREATION’
The distinctive GD Mk3, although inspired by one of the most widely recognised and féted American sports car of the sixties, should not be confused with the many attempts over the last few years to replicate the legendary Cobra. Whilst it is natural to want to reproduce the Shelby Cobra’s achingly beautiful looks, to build a car using a chassis and suspension designed in the fifties and expect it to ride and handle like a modern car makes no sense. With a sound engineering background, Andrew Burrows and his team at Gardner Douglas set out to create an uncompromisingly modern sports car, designed and built with innovative engineering solutions, meeting all the current safety regulations and delivering modern levels of performance, whilst clothed in a curvaceous body shell that echoed the historic Cobra. The resultant design featured a fully triangulated backbone chassis supporting a one piece, semi-monocoque, double skinned GRP body, on no less than 14 rubberised mounting bushes. This mounting arrangement provides the car’s occupants with a much greater degree of comfort and has the unique advantage of allowing the body and chassis to be separated in under two hours enabling a close inspection of the latter.

This particular Mk3 was initially built privately by the first owner, but finished off by the factory and registered in 2002 as a Gardner Douglas. The car looks fabulous in gleaming Bright Red with Magnolia and Red-Piped hide sitting on sparkling 17 inch Image wheels. The dashboard is well laid out and covered in Magnolia hide as are the padded headrests attached to the twin chrome-plated roll hoops. The car is powered by a 350 (5.7L) Small Block Chevy V8, with high-lift cams and a Holly 4-barrel carb, and the power is transmitted to the road through a Tremec 5-speed gearbox. The engine bay is very well detailed and enhanced by chromium Edelbrok rocker-box covers, a chrome Edelbrok air filter and a Stainless Steel exhaust. With only 10,700 miles covered from new, a fresh MoT, V5C and having been looked after by only two fastidious owners, YO02KPL drives and handles as you would hope, looks ‘a million dollars’, is mind-focussingly quick and a wonderful example of modern British engineering.

2010 LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO 670-SV
“The Murciélago embodies the pure, unadulterated values of our brand. It is truly extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian.” - the words of Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, in a speech in 2010 outlining the company’s future plans and celebrating the end of production of the Murciélago. The car may have been ‘unmistakably Italian’ but its name is unmistakably Spanish (Castillian for Bat), and is a continuation of Lamborghini’s tradition of naming its cars after legendary figures from the world of bullfighting, ‘Murciélago’ being the name of a particularly brave animal, who, in 1879, refused to succumb during a long and bloody encounter and displayed such spirit and passion that his life was spared. Introduced in 2001, and in production through a couple of variants until 2010, the Murciélago is an all-wheel drive, mid-engined, supercar that sits less than four feet tall and sports dramatic ‘scissor doors’. The power output of the early cars was around 570bhp, delivered through a six-speed manual gearbox with an integral differential driving the rear wheels and a viscous coupling centre differential providing power to the front. The very low-drag bodywork is constructed from carbon-fibre, steel and aluminium and the suspension is conventional independent double wishbone. The ultimate development of the Murciélago appeared at the 2009 Geneva Show in the form of the LP 670-4 Super Veloce, and was the
78 RACE R ETR O CLASSIC CA R SH OW SA LE 2 0 16
spiritual successor to the raw and outrageous Diablo SV of 1995. Considerably lighter (200lb.) than its predecessor and with 663bhp available at 8,000 rpm the 670 redefines the ‘super’ in supercar with performance quite a long way the other side of impressive. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and 0-120 in 7.4 with 15” carbon-ceramic discs and pin-sharp steering result in one very-focussed motor car. The original production plan of the ultimate Murciélago was limited to 350 cars however, only 186 LP 670-4s were produced before the factory had to make room for the new Aventador production line making these cars extremely limited. KT59XSF was ordered on 17/09/2009 and delivered to London Lamborghini in early February 2010, finished in Gloss Black (Nero Aldebaran) with the interior in Black Alcantara/Carbon Fibre with Yellow stitching. Not many boxes on the option list were left unticked, and the original specification includes a rear-view camera, interior carbon package, floor mats, NavTrak Pro, multimedia system and yellow brake calipers. The purchaser chose the more subtle rear wing given its ability to make the car seem wider when viewed from the rear however the larger wing can be easily retrofitted. The new vehicle invoice (a copy is with the car) confirms that the final bill for this exciting Lamborghini was £288,042.53.

Naturally, there are invoices supporting the car’s service records and these indicate that prior to our vendor’s purchase in November 2013, first and second services were carried out by Lamborghini London on 26/8/10 (1,500 miles) and 26/3/12 (11,843). Subsequently, the care of this serious motor car has been entrusted to Lamborghini Pangbourne, who most recently (15/12/2015) played host to the car for a couple of days when it was subject to its customary fifth year ‘Minimum Standard Check’ and received a full oil service at 18,629 miles. The only additional work required was to replace a broken Sunglasses Holder which was done FOC. In August of 2014, a coat of Topaz Armour was applied to the front end. With every invoice from new available for scrutiny, it’s obvious that this Lamborghini has been superbly reliable. The lack of external visibility in cars not equipped with rear-view cameras (parallel parking ‘Balboni-style’ whilst sat on the sill requires a bit of practice) often results in minor indiscretions, but our vendor assures us that this car has suffered no historical dings or scrapes. This is a two-owner, right-hand drive, UK supplied LP670-4 with less than 19,000 miles and in fabulous condition. If you are in the market for the best Murciélago you can find, then you really need to consider this exceptional vehicle.

1995 FORD ESCORT RS COSWORTH LUX
Registration: N678 BKB Chassis Number: WF0BXXGKABSY90317 Engine Number: SY90317
Estimate (£): 50,000 - 60,000
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth proved that it was possible to follow its legendary 1980’s Sierra namesake. Just like the Lancia Integrale and Subaru Impreza, this was a Group A rally car for the road - pure and simple. It was actually underpinned by a shortened version of the Sierra Cosworth RS Cosworth’s platform and powered by the same 2.0-litre turbocharged longitudinally mounted Cosworth-developed engine driving all four wheels. The car was designed and engineered in Boreham, was styled by noted designer Stephen Harper, and ended up being assembled by Karmann in Germany. The potential of the Escort was seen in its first event, the 1993 Monte Carlo Rally, where Delecour and Biasion came second and third respectively. The Escort continued to be very competitive throughout the ‘93 and ‘94 season but it was a ‘one off’ guest drive by Tommi Makinen that provided the win on the 1994 1000 Lakes Rally. Importantly, and true to Ford’s grass roots philosophy, the Escort Cosworth provided a platform for National Rallying and Club enthusiasts throughout the world to enjoy ‘off the shelf’ competitive support. At its retail launch in 1994, two models were available, the ‘Clubspec’ standard car at £21,380 and the more optioned ‘Lux’ version. Power was up slightly from the Sierra RS Cosworth, at 227bhp, and performance consequently improved. The first 2,500 cars up to May 1994 suffered from turbo lag, but the next 4,500 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,
8 0 RACE R ET R O CLASSIC CA R SH OW SA LE 2 0 16
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. This outstanding Ford Escort RS Cosworth Lux is in excellent condition having covered a mere 5,300 miles, and has clearly lived a very cossetted life. Finished in Imperial Blue with contrasting Raven Black Recaro Leather Interior, this particular car is a Lux specification including 16” 5-spoke RS alloy wheels, electric sunroof, electric windows, heated windscreen and leather steering wheel. It is presented with a lovely history file including a stamped service book showing stamps at: 1,500miles - 2/10/95, 5,032miles - 7/6/96, 5,175miles - 6/6/03. The car has every MoT and historic V5s present, original book pack, handover documents, and original owner’s manuals and wallet. What appears to be a very original car and with Fast Ford prices seemingly rising equally as fast as the cars themselves this example is the perfect addition to any collection.

According to its Porsche “Certificate of Authenticity”, NOD 582W rolled off the line on 9th December 1980 and was a 1981 model, 924 Carrera GT finished in Black (A1/A1) with a Black leatherette interior and Black/ Red Pinstripe seats. It’s recorded as having been optioned with: Limited Slip Diff, Heated/Electric Door Mirrors, Headlamp Washers, Forges Alloy Wheels, Rear Wiper, Leather Four-Spoke Steering Wheel, Electric Windows, Aerial and Speakers, Sun Roof and Sport Shock Absorbers. Up until now this rare Porsche has been enjoyed by nine owners, a figure that may seem a touch on the high side until you sit down and have a look at the car’s history file and realise that, very very unusually, they all seem to have kept detailed records of the car’s welfare whilst in their hands. For example, owner number four was John Minett who acquired the car on 22/6/84 and had it serviced on 29/6/84 (mileage 30,872), on 30/1184 (40,379), 19/9/85 (58,891) and again on 8/9/86 (77,896). Later the car was extensively serviced with new disc brakes, a complete engine rebuild and an almost complete mechanical overhaul, the work being carried out by the respected team at Wood & Pickett. This rebuild was completed on 6/6/89 and during the course of this work the speedometer was replaced (they were known to fail). It has not been possible to establish the exact mileage at this point but the 29,000 odd miles that have been covered since can be corroborated. And so it continues, with the next three owners (until 2013) faithfully servicing the car and keeping exact records of any additional work carried out and, naturally, all the MoTs. The car was used lightly from

2004 until 2007 (950 miles in total) and was, in fact, placed on SORN from 1/01/2008 until 2013. On 11/02/2013, the vehicle was sold to Roy Smith. Roy is an established author of books about classic cars and an acknowledged expert on the 924 Carrera, and a copy of his tome on these cars, “Porsche; The 924 Carrera- Evolution to Excellence” will accompany the car. It’s fair to assume that a man of his standing in the 924 world would require his car to be spot-on. In common with previous owners, Roy has given the car whatever attention it required (including many electrical parts, new clutch master cylinder, exchange alternator and some ‘smart repairs ‘ to the paintwork.) It has had a cam-belt, oil change and a full service less than 1,500 miles ago. Roy Smith sold the car to our current vendor in August 2015. The current mileage is just over 29,000 indicated, which equates to around 110,000 in 35 years. This is a car that has been used and loved by a number of dedicated owners and, although never restored, is in very good overall condition outside, inside and mechanically. The car is accompanied by its V5, Porsche CoA, fully stamped service records, Drivers Manual, MoTs and lots of information and invoices from every owner. Remarkable. These are rare cars. Just 406 were ever made, 75 for the UK market (only 20 in Black) and these delightful driver’s cars are seemingly undervalued given their desirable status as the ultimate 924. NOD 582W is a sound, original example of these focussed road-racers and has provenance with a capital P.

1963 JAGUAR D-TYPE LONGNOSE BY LYNX
IThe triple, Le Mans winning Jaguar D-type will need little introduction. Following on from the C-type’s victories in 1951 and 1953, the D-type, with its then state of the art chassis encompassing a central monocoque section, improved rear suspension and a more powerful XK engine, handsomely won the Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957. Among the most desirable of collectors’ cars worldwide, today even the ‘customer” cars’, let alone the works cars, will cost millions, if you can even find one. Therefore the opportunity to acquire a genuine sixties Jaguar two seater that has been fully restored, re-engineered and re-clothed in effectively a ‘tool-room’ copy of D-Type by quality craftsmen, requires serious consideration.
The car remained with Mr. Crone until it was once again returned to these shores and sold by Hunter Classics of Maidstone to Henry Pearman, MD of world renowned Jaguar specialists Eagle Racing Ltd., with the odometer reading 8,378. The contents of the history file confirm that Eagle carried out a mild restoration including a full re-spray to Ecurie Ecosse Blue with new Ox Blood leather. The engine was rebuilt at the same time and this work included an upgrade to a 4.2 block (tbc), new pistons and liners, unleaded big-valve head with Cosworth Valve springs, lightened and balanced crank and flywheel, baffled sump, and a stainless steel six-branch exhaust manifold and system.
Highly respected Lynx Motor Cars was founded in 1968, and quickly made its name restoring and maintaining original C-Types, D-Types and E-Types of the period. Their decision to recreate D-Types and XKSS versions based on Series II E-Type engines and running gear was a logical one, based entirely on their experience with the original cars. Since then over 430 cars have passed through their workshops, either as re-creation projects or original cars being restored or maintained. This particular car is Chassis 11 (Eleven) and originates from 1979. The ‘source’ car was a 1962, 3.8 E-Type, and shortly after its completion by Lynx it was painted in British Racing Green and shipped to its new owner in the US, where it enjoyed the next ten years in the California sunshine. On its return to the UK in November 1989, it became the property of David Wooley who owned the car until June 1993 when it was marketed by Brabazon in Kensington with an advertised mileage of 4,000. Soon after, a new home was found in Germany in the care of a Mr Crone who owned a VW/Audi dealership of the same name. A German TUV was obtained with the assistance of Lynx, and the relevant paperwork for this is in the file.

In February 2000, Henry Pearman sold Chassis 11 to Charles Bowman in Edinburgh and it appears the mileage was 8,710 at this time, so the rebuilt engine would hardly have been run in! He used the car very carefully avoiding rain and salty roads and popped it back into its ‘Carcoon’ at the end of each trip. A SORN was put in place in May of ‘06 but even then the car was regularly started and exercised round his private estate. When the time came, and with only 9,227 miles covered in total, this lovely blue Jaguar was off on its travels again, this time back to America and the ministrations of a specialist Mercedes-Benz restorer and collector of exotica, Rudi and Company. Our Vendor purchased the car directly from Rudi in early 2015 and used the car in various Road Rallies and it has only recently been serviced with attention to the brakes and the fitting of a Kenlowe fan. The odometer currently reads 10,357. It’s now only offered for sale to help fund the purchase of a particularly important pre-war car that has unexpectedly come to market. Nothing else needs to be said. Just look at it and dream! Important note: The car is available Tax Free if sold outside the EU, or if sold within the EU, 5% Purchase Tax will become due. The registration number ‘OUN 4’ has now been transferred to another vehicle.

1982 LAMBORGHINI JALPA
Produced between 1982 and 1990 the Lamborghini Jalpa was the’ junior’ Lamborghini of the 1980s, and was designed to rejoin the battle with Ferrari’s similarly sized 308 series. Major changes involved the quad-cam V8 engine with a capacity increase to 3.5 litres, and somewhat more aggressive styling, mainly in the side treatment of the body, which was again conceived and executed by Bertone. Maximum power was 255bhp at 7000rpm, good enough to give the aerodynamic Jalpa a top speed of around 155mph. Production was both limited and sporadic, with a mere 419 examples manufactured over eight years. A single Jalpa prototype was constructed based on Silhouette 40058. Shown at Geneva in 1981, that became CLA12001. Subsequently there were two pre-production cars, CLA12002 which was destroyed by fire in 2003, and CLA12003 which was offered as a raffle prize by Loews Hotel at Monaco 1982 and is now in Canada. Production cars commenced with CLA12010. The first five had some individual features, the most obvious being the use of instruments from the ‘Uracco’. All early production cars, those with Urraco tail lights, have a matching body no and VIN, ie. the last two digits of the VIN always matches the body number. Later cars, those with the later Jalpa tail lights, had a separate body number stamped on the left rear suspension turret, allowing VINs to be allocated independently of the body number. This car is earlier than the VIN might suggest. CLA12067 has body 14, ie. the 5th production body, and the engine number is 008. It has Urraco instruments and a single exterior mirror was previously fitted to the front wing. Although CLA12067 is stamped on a plate on the right rear strut tower, underneath this plate, CLA12014 is stamped directly on the strut tower itself as per factory specification, demonstrating that this car was renumbered at the factory. Images of this are depicted in the cars history file. The records show that CLA12014 in Nero/Rosso was completed on 25/09/82 but there are no consignment details. This is typical of an entry where a car was retained by the factory. Consignment details

for CLA12067 are recorded as 10/05/83 to Emilian Auto Bologna. Intriguingly the CLA year code was retained even though the DLA series was introduced at the start of 1983 with DLA12017. The other four trial production cars were all consigned during 1982 but CLA12014/67 was retained by the factory for eight months. It is strongly believed that the car was used by Patrick Mimram (The Swiss Playboy owner of the Lamborghini factory at the time) or his immediate family. A year later ELA12014 was allocated to a new Argento/ Rosso car with body 118 consigned on 24/05/84 to Patrick Mimran. The VIN had been re-allocated but with an ELA prefix year code of course as the car was built in 1984. But why had it not been used previously? And why was it used on a car consigned to Mimran? It is strongly believed that Mimram used both cars and the VIN was kept for him. The car then moved from Italy to Germany and was imported to California in 1985, by a fastidious gentleman who kept precise records on the cars entry into the USA and subsequently was owned by a very competent Lamborghini enthusiast who kept many bills and receipts for work carried out on the car. Imported into the UK in 2015, the car has been in the ownership of a Lamborghini aficionado, who since importing it, has had the paintwork professionally freshened, the wheels refurbished and it has only just been serviced. Thanks to the previous owner the car has been well maintained and with the recent detailed attention to the cosmetics, this sparkling little black Lamborghini now looks its best. The powerful 3.5 litre V8 has the added benefit of a thunderous stainless steel exhaust system for an added smile factor whilst enjoying open top motoring. Accompanied by an excellent history file, this Jalpa is worthy of serious consideration for any shrewd collector. When we consider the steep rate of incline in the 70’s/80’s Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin market in recent years, 2016 must surely be the year of the Bull.

1987 FORD CAPRI 280 ‘BROOKLANDS’
The Capri 280 ‘Brooklands’ was the run-out model of the legendary Ford coupé and featured a limited slip differential, full leather Recaro interior and 15 inch versions of the seven spoke 13 inch wheels fitted to the superseded Capri Injection Special. Ford originally intended to make 500 turbo-charged vehicles (by Turbo Technics) complete with gold alloy wheels but a change of production planning meant a name change to Capri 280 (commonly known as Brooklands), as the cars were simply the last models ran down the production line. A total of 1,038 Capri 280s were built. The word ‘unique’ is often used incorrectly, but in the case of this Capri it’s totally appropriate. It is not only the ultimate evolution of one of the UK’s all-time favourite sports cars,but D909XAP has covered an unbelievable 936 miles from new. This 280 ‘Brooklands’ was sold new to a Mr T. Carey by Ford main dealer J. Hollingsworths of Hastings. It was always Mr Carey’s intention to keep the car as a completely original and preserved example from day one. Consequently, the car was used most sparingly and was kept in a strictly temperature controlled environment.

Internally the full grey leather Recaro interior is in excellent condition throughout, retaining its suppleness and colour, the stitching and seams are even and tightly bound. Turn the ignition key and the Cologne V6 bursts into life and quickly settles into a gentle burble and on the move there’s ample performance with a smooth power delivery throughout the rev range. Naturally, the car is completely standard and just as it left the factory. Supplied with accompanying book pack, spare key, manuals, service book, original bill of sale and even a feature in Classic Ford Magazine from 2002, this car boasts a very privileged history and must be the lowest mileage 280 ‘Brooklands’ in existence today.
In 2011, the car was sold to its second registered keeper who recognised the significance of this 280 and also kept the car in a preserved state, only starting it up on occasion. The car’s condition today is a joy to behold and must be seen to be fully appreciated. The Brooklands green bodywork is in stunning condition. The Capris architecture would easily show any inconsistencies, but panel gaps are even, shut lines are narrow and overall fit is truly amazing. Bonnet,

Synonymous with Porsche’s endurance racing programme and Le Mans in particular, where they have triumphed some 17 times, the design of the Porsche Carrera GT is firmly rooted in its motorsport lineage. After success in 1998 at the famous 24-hour race, a team of engineers started work on a new mid-engined V-10 model utilising advanced technologies and materials. However, the project was soon put on hold as the company decided to focus its energies in a different direction with the introduction of a new SUV and the development of the Porsche Cayenne. Fortunately, the Carrera GT project was kept alive, and a prototype was shown at the 2000 Paris Auto Show. Response to the car was enthusiastic prompting Porsche to commit to a limited production run of 1,500 cars. By the end of production in 2006, only 1,270 cars were built, making it rarer still. With its 5.7 litre, dry sump V-10 engine (producing around 612 brake horsepower) sitting low in the carbon-fibre chassis, the Carrera GT weighed in at 1,380kg and was capable of 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph. Open the driver’s door and you are immediately aware that this is a totally focussed, seriously fast Porsche with the sense of function only just lightened by the Beechwood gear knob - a nod to the famous Porsche 917 and its racing past.

Our vendor took ownership of this exquisite supercar in September 2013 when it had covered a mere 12,737 miles, and immediately sent the car for a full service at Porsche Reading at a cost of £8,305. In 2014, the car was sent to RUF Porsche in Germany and was fitted with a suspension raising system at the cost of an eyewatering 11,900 Euros - a fantastic addition to the car when negotiating some UK roads with the ubiquitous ‘sleeping policeman’! The last full service was carried out in November 2015 at Porsche Reading, when the recorded mileage was 18,018. During his tenure, our fastidious vendor has had the front bumper repainted and new body film applied. Supplied with a UK V5c and wearing the apt registration BO53 CGT, this Carrera GT is currently MoT’d until November this year. With its Italian counterpart, the Ferrari ‘Enzo’ fetching premium prices, the Carrera GT is a car to be taken seriously, and this wonderful example from a private collector is one not to be missed.

1975 LAMBORGHINI URRACO P300
In accordance with their practice of naming their cars after Fighting Bulls, it was fitting that this new, junior, V8 Lamborghini was named ‘Urraco’ which freely translates as ‘little bull’. Its 2+2 configuration hinted at Lamborghini’s grand touring roots and its distinctive styling suggested its ties to the Miura. A V8 engine meanwhile, was a bit of a departure and may have been indicative of Lamborghini’s decision to have a look at different markets. The most developed Urraco was the P300, of which approximately 190 were made from 1975 to 1979. The P300’s engine had a larger stroke than other models, upping displacement to 2,996cc and providing 265bhp at 7,800rpm. This particular Urraco P300, is one of the very rare and desirable 3 litre models with chain driven quad cams. Despite the Federal specification (side markers and rear impact bumper) the car is the unrestricted full 3 litre version. It was first delivered in LHD configuration to Canada in 1975, where it remained until being purchased in 1992 by a collector who kept it for a further 22 years. In 1981 it’s documented as being totally restored in Canada, however despite this the car has seen little use throughout its life. When bought by the previous owner in 1992 the car had covered just 20,000 miles and was little used since purchase. The current indicated mileage is just 23,000.

On arrival in the UK in 2014, the car was found to be in very good condition but was in need of an all round recommission and a bit of a tidy. The brakes were stripped, cleaned, the calipers rebuilt and reassembled with new pads, and the steering rack and components were also refurbished. The carburettor was stripped and rebuilt and everything was carefully set up to run well and after a full service the cars overall performance returned to its original level. Inside the dashboard had become faded and it was rejuvenated by being recovered in new mouse hair material. More recently it has been professionally repainted in its original colour of ‘Argento Luna’ Silver and it now presents exceptionally well with the contrasting black leather interior. A stunning example, this little Lamborghini is true testament to previous owners care. The Urraco is a rare model that’s a bit more approachable than its larger siblings and has recently caught the eye of modern collectors.

1987 FORD SIERRA COSWORTH RS500
When Stuart Turner was appointed the head of Ford Motorsport in Europe in 1983, he quickly came to the conclusion that the company was no longer competitive in motorsport. Walter Hayes, having instigated the Cosworth DFV engine and Fords assault on Le Mans with the GT40, was still the driving force at Ford and not surprisingly, Hayes was enthusiastic about Turner’s plans to produce a turbocharged Cosworth 2.0 litre engine that would power a Ford saloon in motorsport. Cosworth already had a cylinder head design that was promising and fitted the Ford T88 Pinto block, so they agreed to produce the 2.0litre turbo engine providing that Ford signed-off a production run of 15,000 units. 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 5,000 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 RS500 example, build number 50, was delivered via Telford Ford to its first owner in August 1987. Showing a mere 50,860 miles at the time of cataloguing, this car has been fastidiously maintained throughout its life as can be seen in its extensive history file containing its original fully stamped service manual which quite literally has been filled to the point where no more stamps can be added. It remained with its first owner until the summer of ‘88 when it was sold to its second custodian who kept the car until ‘95, and in a similar fashion to his predecessor, the car was annually serviced and well maintained. The third owner kept the car until 2011, again keeping up the high standards of maintenance and care. Its fourth and current owner, in common with the first three, kept the car in great condition but did not register the car in his name and instead kept the car in dry storage. 6 months ago our vendor decided to send the car up to Paul Linfoot where a new cam belt and new oil filter was fitted and we are informed the car will have a full service confirmed prior to the auction. Cars of the Eighties and Nineties are becoming increasingly sought after and are some of the fastest rising classics in the current market, and the appetite for well kept, low volume Fords in particular, shows no sign of abating. Now offered for sale once again this sparkling Cosworth RS500 is an absolute must for the astute collector and enthusiast.

www.s i l versto nea ucti o ns.c om
Serving as the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia (the prefix ‘F’ is not used by the factory) was unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Designed to compete with cars like the Porsche RS and the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (super light weight), it is lighter by 100 kg and more powerful, 503bhp at 8500 rpm, than the standard F430. The increased power output results from a revised intake, redesigned exhaust and an ion sensing knock detection system that allows for a higher compression ratio resulting in the weight-to-power ratio being reduced from 2.96 kg/ hp to 2.5 kg/hp. In addition to the weight saving measures, the Scuderia semi-automatic transmission gained an improved “Superfast” software system known as “Superfast 2”, creating faster 60 millisecond gearshift times and a new traction control system combined the F1-Trac traction and stability control with the E-Diff electronic differential. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia accelerates from 0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 202 miles per hour (325 km/h). Ferrari claims that around their test track, Fiorano Circuit, it matches the Ferrari Enzo, and the Ferrari F430’s successor, the Ferrari 458. This UK supplied right-hand drive 430 Scuderia, has covered just over 7,500 miles from new and is presented in exemplary condition throughout. Supplied with its original handbooks, tool kit and spare key, it was first registered on 30th November 2008 by HR Owen London.

The interior is unmarked and there are no signs of wear to any of the switchgear, headlining or seats. All panels are straight and true along with an engine bay that is so clean, one could easily enjoy your proverbial ‘lunch’ from the cam covers. The service history shows main dealer maintenance from new and this Scuderia was last serviced at 7,150 miles. Anyone who has driven one of these incredible Ferraris will tell you that it is one of ‘the’ great modern supercar driving experiences. The gear changes are instantaneous and employ technology directly developed from the F1 program. The steering is pin sharp and the brakes are superb. However, it is the noise that leaves any driver wanting more. That screaming V8 engine simply howls in a way that only a Ferrari can.

1985 JAGUAR XJ-S 5.3 HE V12 TWR
In 1982 Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR had entered a team of the V12 XJ-S’s into the European Touring Car Championship. They claimed a maiden victory when Walkinshaw and Chuck Nicholson won in Brno - the Jaguars simply proving too fast for their rival BMW and Alfa Romeo opposition! They were the cars to beat in the ETCC, with Walkinshaw claiming the 1984 ETCC Drivers’ Championship. During the season the TWR Jaguar team also won the prestigious Spa 24 Hours race with an XJS driven by ‘the boss’. In 1984, TWR began to apply what they had learned in the ETCC to the road going version of the XJ-S. Customers cars were converted to what were effectively road legal racing cars with special bodywork, uprated V12 engines, suspension and brake upgrades and Speedline alloy wheels. These modifications were carried out to production cars at great expense and the end result was a sharper, faster and more focused version of the XJ-S. This immaculate 1985 XJ-S TWR was bought new on 4th January 1985 from Southern Counties in Crawely. A little later, the owner read a Motorsport Magazine article on the TWR XJ-S and decided to take his car to TWR, who transformed it into the ultimate version. The car was then serviced by Jaguar main dealers until 1990, when it was taken off the road and stored in his garage where it has remained, displaying its 1990 Tax Disc and an odometer indicating only 29,663 miles. The awakening of this ‘sleeping beauty’ has recently been undertaken by a well-respected classic car restoration company who have invested over 400 hours of work into making this rare car one of the very best of its kind. The history file contains the original leather Jaguar document holder complete with the dealer-supplied owner’s manual, the Jaguar Guarantee, Pre-Delivery Inspection Card, Clarion Stereo Booklet, a huge file full of invoices documenting all of the service work carried out over the car’s life, and a fresh MoT certificate until May 2016.

Looking resplendent in metallic red with the trademark TWR silver to the bumpers and lower parts of the body, the paintwork is in great condition, having been subject to a bare metal re-paint. Being such a low mileage example, the condition of the interior is excellent and there is little or no wear to the bolsters of the seats, both remaining supple and supportive. The 5.3-litre V12 has been subject to a full mechanical overhaul. As part of its re-commissioning the car received new plugs, oils, and filters; the fuel tank and fuel lines were also removed, checked, and cleaned. Work has been carried out by several Jaguar specialists, most recently by SPM Motor Works who were given the remit to get the car in A1 mechanical condition. Also included was a complete overhaul of the braking system to include new brakes front to rear. The TWR sits at least one inch lower than a standard XJ-S, and so the handling is transformed but near-standard dampers ensure the ride remains civilised. The climatic A/C has recently undergone a costly overhaul to include a new condenser, hot water valve body, and a re-gas. The car has also been treated to a new headlining, and the carpets throughout are protected by a fitted set of TWR embroidered mats. This car epitomises what this show is all about. A fabulous 30 year-old sports car returned to rude health. Dated in some respects, but with that mileage, in this condition and at this guide price, you try and find another one!

1971 LAND ROVER 109 LWB SERIES IIA
The Series IIA, is considered by many to be the most hardy version of the Land Rover ever constructed. It’s also the type of classic Land Rover that features strongly in the general public’s perception of the brand due to its many appearances in popular films and television documentaries set in Africa and India throughout the sixties. In February 1968, just a few months after its manufacturer had been subsumed into the Leyland Motor Corporation, the Land Rover celebrated its twentieth birthday, with total production just short of 600,000 at that point, of which more than 70% had been exported. In 1967, a 2.6-litre, six cylinder petrol engine was introduced for the long-wheelbase models, which also finally, got to benefit from servoassisted brakes. 811 of these were NADA ( North American Dollar Area) trucks, which were the only long-wheelbase models made for the American and Canadian markets.

Good examples of Series IIs and IIAs are now beginning to achieve classic status, and are starting to appreciate in value, although many are still in daily use. The first registered owners of the car on offer today were the infamous Bucharest Serviciul de Telecomunicati (UM 0731) (Public Order and Safety) and it then went on to be used for “Hunting” by the Communist Romanian Secret Service during the Ceausescu dictatorship. This versatile vehicle with a thought-provoking history was first registered in 1971 and is presented in Light Grey, with a 4-speed manual gearbox, 2.6 in-line 6 cylinder petrol engine and has only 899 km on the clock. Ideal for use as a workhorse around the farm and stables, as a second or third family vehicle, as an appreciating classic, or all three, and is certainly an exciting prospect.
Certainly, it was whilst the Series IIA was in production, that sales of utility Land Rovers reached their peak, and in 1969/70 sales of over 60,000 Land Rovers a year were recorded. (For comparison, the sales of the Defender since the 90s have been around the 25,000 level.) Record sales do not automatically confer domination of the market but the Land Rover came to dominate the World simply because it was the best. In the 1960s, the Land Rover represented almost 90% of the Australian 4×4 market and this level of success was repeated in other areas such as Africa and the Middle East.

2006 FERRARI 575 SUPERAMERICA
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 Ferrari’s history as a name that was given to the most exclusive and powerful luxury models. Derived from the 575M Maranello, the Superamerica big 12-cylinder engine was boosted to deliver 540 bhp through the six-speed electrohydraulic 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. Designed by Fioravanti, the flip-top roof is made of translucent materials, which adjust to vary the amount of light coming into the cockpit. Called Revocromico by Ferrari, the system has five tint levels available and the glass can go from dark to light in under a minute. As the frame for the glass is made from very strong carbon fibre, the Super America can reach very high speeds with the top in the up or reclined position. Performance figures were seriously impressive with 0-100 kph coming up in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 320 kph or 199 mph. 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.

Finished in the very rare factory special order colour of Bianco Fuji with Rosso leather interior, this Ferrari certainly stands out from the crowd. Having covered such low mileage, the bodywork is hard to fault with gleaming paintwork and flawless panel fit. The interior looks almost new and the engine bay presents beautifully. The carbon framed folding hard top operates smoothly and without fault. In general, the condition of this Ferrari can be best described as commensurate with a very well cared for and treasured example. When it was first launched to the press in 2005, this exclusive model was described by Evo Magazine as: “A mouthwatering prospect... With a boost in power to 533bhp, the Superamerica is a much more serious attempt at an open V12-engined Ferrari than the completely roofless and poorly executed 550 Barchetta. It promises to bring a new dimension to the heavy-hitting thrills of the 575M Maranello without sacrificing too much in rigidity and real-world usability.” This example is certainly no exception and is supplied with its original hand book, service book, leather wallet, tools and MoT certificate. A UK V5C has been applied for and will hopefully be available at the auction for viewing in the history file. All EU taxes have been paid and we welcome all pre-sale inspections. Prospective buyers are encouraged to contact the office for further information or to arrange a viewing.
We are delighted to offer this 575M Superamerica for public sale for the first time in its life. Sold new to the first and only private owner on 31st January 2006 in Zurich, Switzerland, it was supplied by official Ferrari dealer Garage Foitek AG. Servicing was carried out by the supplying dealer on two occasions in 2007 and 2013 at 16,137 kilometres. The total mileage is now reading just 17,461 kilometres or 10,850 miles.

www.s i l versto nea ucti o ns.c om
As two of the most successful teams in motorsport, people tend to take notice when Mercedes-Benz and McLaren work together. With each having an enviable racing record, few partnerships in the automotive world have been more fruitful. Mercedes-Benz had been supplying engines to McLaren in Formula One since the mid-1990s, and over the course of the following 15 years, McLaren F1 cars racked up numerous wins. Mercedes-Benz eventually acquired 40 percent of the McLaren Group, and at this time, the two companies produced their first road car together, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. When introduced in November 2003, the Ferrari Enzo was set to do battle with the Porsche Carrera GT, and accordingly, the car’s performance and 206-mph top speed firmly put it into the upper echelon of supercars. Yet, there was much more to the story. Rather than creating an all-out, no-compromises supercar, MercedesBenz and McLaren decided to go a slightly different route. Instead of placing the engine in behind the cabin, the car had a front-mid-engine layout, with the engine sitting behind the front wheels and just ahead of the cabin. This not only helped to improve the SLR’s handling by giving it near-perfect weight distribution, but this also gave the car a rather spacious boot and cabin, which was not common in cars boasting such performance credentials. As it was supremely engineered and built to incredible standards at McLaren’s facilities in Woking, it boasted a very high level of fit and finish, the kind befitting any Mercedes-Benz. To many, it was the perfect automobile for cruising across Europe at a very high speed.

quarter-mile of 11 seconds. Of course, a car with such impressive speed credentials also requires an equally impressive braking system. An automatic airbrake and Mercedes-Benz’s Sensotronic “brake by wire” system assist the massive carbon-ceramic disc brakes and help bring the SLR McLaren down from 120 mph to a stop in less than 240 feet. The highly desirable Roadster version of the SLR came out in September 2007, with a state of the art metal folding roof which took 10 seconds to fold away electronically. This left-hand drive, one owner from new SLR roadster was purchased in 2008 and has since covered a mere 20,000 km in its short life. As you can imagine for such a special car the vendor has meticulously looked after it resulting in a full and comprehensive service history. The car comes with a NOVA number and the current vendor has sent off the V5 to the DVLA at the time of writing this script in order to obtain a UK registration. These special cars deliver in terms of value and collectability. Though the partnership between McLaren and Mercedes-Benz to produce a road car was a brief one, it was also a spectacular moment that may never occur again. Given the significance of this venture and the skyrocketing appeal of the SLR’s direct competitors, namely the Ford GT and Porsche Carrera GT, there is no doubt that this is the moment in time when a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren should be considered for one’s collection.
In order to attain its top speed, the SLR McLaren was powered by a hand-built 5.4-litre V-8 fitted with a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger. As the car could produce 617 brake horsepower at 6,500 rpm, it goes without saying that acceleration was phenomenal, with a dash from 0 to 60 mph taking just 3.8 seconds, leading to a

2001 PORSCHE 911 (996) GT3 GEN 1
The Porsche 911 (996) GT3 was the spiritual successor to the original ‘73 Carrera RS and was designed to be lightweight and performance focussed with scant regard to luxury and comfort items that would add to the car’s weight but detract from its performance. With the advent of the water-cooled 996, Porsche needed to find a way to continue the lineage of its motorsport-focused 964 and 993 RS models. The answer was the Mk1 GT3. Built by hand away from the main 996 production line, the GT3 enabled the homologation necessary for Porsche to provide cars for a wide range of GT racing series (including Le Mans) as well as a one-make Carrera Cup series. The significant difference between the mainstream 996 range and the GT3 was the dry-sumped Mezger engine, which used a completely different block from the rest of the range (being the same as that in the GT1). Thanks to its titanium and plasma-nitrided internals, it generated 100bhp per litre from its high-revving, high-compression, normally aspirated 3,600cc six-cylinder boxer engine. Performance was very impressive with 0-60 mph coming up in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph. The Mk1 GT3 was also Evo magazine’s Car of the Year in 1999, “seeing off, amongst others, the new Ferrari 360 Modena.” Only 1,863 GT3s were manufactured worldwide by Porsche Motorsport Division and this example is one of the first generation cars featuring the legendary Mezger engine.

preserved in fantastic condition. The mileage is currently reading just 11,606 kilometres or 7,211 miles. Factory specifications included carbon centre console, carbon instrument surrounds, electrical sports seats, air conditioning, Becker CD Radio and leather dash and door panels. As one would expect from such a low mileage Porsche, the bodywork presents beautifully and panel fit and paintwork are commensurate with an unmodified, original car that has been cherished all of its life. The Silver metallic paint retains an excellent shine, the wheels are spotless and the comfort specification black interior is in superb condition. Due to its limited mileage, the service book doesn’t show a vast number of stamps but there are 2 service stamps at reasonable mileage intervals and the car has recently had a major service and recommission carried out by Porsche Hatfield at 11,083 miles. Supplied with its original books, tools, current MoT, UK V5C and recent invoice from Porsche Hatfield, this car must be seen to be fully appreciated. We have never seen such a low-mileage GT3 go through our rostrum and they are certainly not easy to find in this condition.

The 4/4 name indicated that this model had 4 wheels and 4 cylinders and the general appearance of the car hasn’t altered much in all those years. With a simple and strong drive train, agile handling and a truly visceral ride quality, driving a well-sorted Morgan is regularly grin (and occasionally grimace) inducing.

1999 FERRARI F355 GTB F1
The Ferrari F355 is a modern classic, so beautiful, so well-engineered and so well received that it marked the beginning of the end of the oldguard ‘Ferraristi’ philosophy that the only “real” Ferraris were ones with 12-cylinder engines. The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and Targa GTS burst onto the world stage in the spring of 1994, with almost exactly the same dimensions as its predecessor the 348, yet it was virtually a new car, as its stunning coachwork indicated. Many hours of wind tunnel testing influenced the harmonious shape which incorporated an F1 style flat bottom with channeled air flow generating enough downforce to offset any lift. The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V8 produced a stunning 374bhp at a spine-tingling 8250rpm, and the gearbox now had six speeds with a new type of synchromesh making changes so much smoother. New electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface. Around Ferrari’s 1.86 mile Fiorano test track, the 355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12-cylinder 512 TR and that level of performance combined with it’s sensational shape made it a worldwide success story. This left-hand drive F355 F1 Berlinetta was sold new on 31st May 1999 to Ferrari main dealer Testarossa Cars in Madrid. Finished in the beautiful combination of Grigio Titanium with Bordeaux Red leather interior, it was one of the last F355 models to leave the production line and featured an extremely expensive option package.

specifications included F1 gearbox, Challenge grill, painted brake calipers, very special carbon sports seats and Fiorano handling pack. This included a wider track, stiffer springs, thicker anti-roll bars, uprated ECU, competition steering rack and larger brakes. Supplied with its original books, manuals, tool kit, 2 sets of keys, car cover, and original service book, there are a number of stamps in the book and the last one dates from a Ferrari main dealer in March 2015, when the car had covered just 8,733 kilometers. Now reading 8,793 kilometers or 5,462 miles from new, the condition of this car is exemplary. The Grigio paintwork is in pristine order and retains a superb shine. The Bordeaux interior is in virtually ‘new’ condition with no wear to any components. The engine bay is stunning to behold and is best described as in Concours condition. The overall condition of this vehicle needs to be seen to be truly appreciated. The history file contains a current MoT certificate until October 2016 and all NOVA documentation required for UK registration. This Ferrari is simply a ‘best of breed’ example and is open to any inspection prior to the auction. F355s in this condition are rare and we are confident this one will not disappoint even the most hardened of experts, collectors or enthusiasts

2001 HONDA NSX
The legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna.

The NSX featured a state of the art 3.0-litre V6 ‘VTEC’ engine (variable valve timing) and an all-aluminium monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension. This made the car extremely light and extremely strong. Other gamechanging features included 4 channel ABS brakes, titanium connecting rods in the engine and later in the model’s life - an electric power steering system as well as an upgrade to a 3.2-litre V6 engine. The car was the first real Japanese ‘Supercar’, proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. Production continued right up until 2005, with only subtle changes made throughout its life.

Being a 2001 car, it is thought to have been one of only 8 NSXs delivered in the UK that year, making it one of the last ‘pop-up’ headlight cars before the model received a front-end facelift in 2002. This example also benefits from having the larger 3.2-litre V6 engine, married to a 6-speed manual gearbox, and larger brakes. After much searching, our vendor purchased this stunning car in October ‘12 and in his ownership has had KW V3 adjustable coil-over suspension fitted - costing in excess £1,200. A full stainless steel exhaust system was also fitted and the front bumper has also been resprayed to rid it of the inevitable stone chips. A UK V5c and an MoT until 29th April 2016 are present and the car is supplied with 3 original keys, a folder of MoTs & invoices, and the complete NSX book pack containing drivers manuals & the service book. Open the boot and there is a full complement of tools and the tyre inflator. Wearing the apt registration plate ‘N5 XLM’ this NSX offers supercar collectors the opportunity to own a well maintained and striking car.

1972 PORSCHE 911 T TARGA
In the early seventies, Porsche were in a “rich vein” of competition success. It`s not surprising that the 2.4 litre 911 variants of that time are considered a reflection of that engineering prowess. Race input had resulted in revised suspension pick-up points and Koni dampers enhancing the 911. Power from the 2.4 fuel injected unit resulted in a wonderfully free revving engine and the larger capacity gave the 911 that much more drivability in the lower rev range enhanced by the 915 5-speed gearbox. Steve McQueen helped to immortalise the 911 ‘S’ in a “reflective moment” at the Sarthe in the film “Le Mans”.

The vendor is very complimentary towards the engine, gearbox and brakes. “The six carb motor is strong, reliable and powerful. The sound of this engine is phenomenal and it has lots of torque.” The car has been the subject of regular full services including valve adjustments, new valve cover gaskets, new air filters, new spark plugs and consistent oil and fluid changes. It’s had no modifications or alterations from the standard factory specification and basically is just a lovely, straight, early 911.
This, left-hand drive, 1972 911 T Coupé has been cherished by its current owner in Ireland for over 15 years. The car retains many of the components that came with it when it left the factory in 1972, including the original radio and speaker that are fully operational. In 2009, this Porsche was fully stripped down to bare metal by a specialist classic car restoration company and re-painted in its original colour of Alpine White. The underbody was also rust treated at this time and. as a result, the bodywork is in lovely condition and the black interior looks very sharp indeed with carpets and leather re-trimmed when it was restored.

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 particularly by viewers of the hit TV series “Magnum PI” whose hero, played by Tom Selleck, was frequently seen in a Targa topped 308 GTS version. Fitted with a 2.9 litre DOHC V8 engine fitted with four Weber 40DCNF Carburettors producing 255bhp, the 308 accelerated from 0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 159 mph. In 1980, fuel injection was fitted to the 308 and two years later four valves 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. This, American market, 308 GTBi was imported into the UK and is equipped with electric windows and air conditioning.

In common with many imported cars, there is only a small amount of service history, with some invoices most of which are from circa 2008/9 when it would seem the car underwent some recommissioning work. From the information available it appears the work included a full rebuild of the brakes and an engine strip and rebuild with all the relevant ancillaries. In January of this year, the car was fitted with a new clutch as well as having a major service including the all-important cam belt replacement. Presented with the owner’s handbook along with some invoices from the States and more recent invoices for work carried out in the UK, this very presentable and usable example of these fabulous cars is an economical entry into Ferrari ownership.
A very presentable example in Blue Chiaro, the car shows 19,000 unwarranted miles, however, an American Carfax report does show that in 1994 the speedometer was reading 17,648mls and that it was in long-term ownership during later years in the USA.

1966 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 MKIII
The Austin Healey 3000 Mark III was launched in October 1963, and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of Austin Healeys ceased. Classified as the BJ8, the new model was the most powerful and luxurious of the ‘Big Healeys’, with a walnutveneered dash, wind-up windows, and a 150bhp engine. Improvements to the engine included a new camshaft and valve springs, and twin SU 2” HD8 carburettors, together with a new design of exhaust system. Servo-assisted brakes were now fitted as standard. The Big Healey offered today was manufactured on the 18th of November 1966 and was subsequently exported to the US where it was sold through a dealer in St Louis, Missouri. The accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms its original colour combination was Ivory White with Red leather trim as it sports today, and its options were wire wheels, overdrive and a heater. Subsequently sold by Gullwing Motor Cars of New York in 2006 in a dilapidated state, it was purchased by a Brit and repatriated to the UK where it was then subject to a complete rebuild and converted from left to right-hand drive by The Northern Healey Centre.

photographic record was kept of all the work done including its repaint and re-trim in its original colours, and the result is a car that is equally as good underneath as it is on top, with the paintwork being described as excellent throughout as is all the bright work. All mechanical components were also rebuilt or replaced as required, and the whole project was finished after a total of some five years, when it was put back on the road in 2011. Of particular interest, is the fact that this Healey has been rebuilt with long distance touring in mind. A new hard top has been fitted in contrasting Black and the rear seat option has been deleted in favour of luggage space, and that area has been re-trimmed beautifully. With red carpets, fabulous leather upholstery, and an unmarked dashboard with all the gauges functioning as they should, this really is a superb place to pilot this wonderful 60’s motor car come rain or shine. Sold with an excellent history portfolio, this particular big Healey drives as well as it looks and would be a great contender for any long distance touring events thanks to its overdrive gearbox and superb all round performance.
This was a comprehensive rebuild during which the car was totally taken apart and reassembled around a brand new chassis. A

The Indy, Tipo 116, with bodywork by Vignale was first shown in 4.2litre form, at the Turin Motor show on the Vignale stand in 1968, and at the Geneva Show on the Maserati stand in 1969. Launched as a comfortable four-seater grand tourer with good luggage space with a speed in excess of 150 mph. In 1972, the engine was increased to 4.7 litres developing 290 bhp, and power steering and air conditioning were a standard fitting. Production of Maserati cars was low and Indys were only made to order. In total only 1,136 Indys were made in all forms.

1989 FERRARI TESTAROSSA
When Ferrari introduced the Testarossa in Paris in 1984 it was probably the best car Ferrari had ever built, but while the design was spectacular, it was not as sensually beautiful as numerous Ferraris before it. Instead, Pininfarina had designed a modern, aerodynamic and efficient body, immediately recognisable by its very distinctive ‘side strakes’ unlike anything seen before. Once again time showed Pininfarina’s design to be ahead of its time and through the eighties this styling cue was copied in countless contexts. Simultaneously the Testarossa proved itself as a well-built car and despite its towering high price from new, turned out to be Ferrari’s most successful model ever. Today, it has become an Eighties design icon and recently its popularity has grown quite considerably: It’s no wonder since the Testarossa offers a unique package of powerful performance, practicality and comfort and that groundbreaking design that works equally well on the highway as in an exhibition of contemporary art - or the owner’s garage.

This fine example is in the best colour combination for the Testarossa, Rosso Corsa with biscuit interior. The car was delivered new in Hamburg, Germany on June 27 1989 and six years later was sold to Norway. During an engine-out service in 2001, the garage unfortunately made a mistake when connecting the radiators and the engine subsequently failed. A new engine was fitted at the kilometer reading of 78.000, and therefore this engine has only run 34.000 kilometers of the total 112.000 now reading on the odometer. The car has resided with the last owner in Norway since 2007. The bodywork is straight and solid with nice even panel gaps, the paintwork is shining and the interior has stood up very well over the years, testament to the inherent build quality of the Testarossa. It has just received a cambelt and oil service and is absolutely ready to use.

The Lotus Carlton was a Vauxhall Carlton upgraded by Lotus Cars to create a 177mph sports-saloon with acceleration to equal contemporary supercars. When released, it was the fastest four-door saloon car in the world. The external differences were minimal with the addition of a rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and boot lid, a body kit and considerably wider wheel arches distinguishing it from a standard Carlton. The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British racing green called Pearlescent Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black. Lotus re-worked the 2969cc, 24V straight six used in the Carlton GSi and bored it out to 3615cc. In addition, twin Garrett T25 turbochargers were attached resulting in 377bhp and torque of 419lb ft. Power was transmitted through a six-speed ZF manual gearbox and supplied to the rear wheels through an LSD. The brakes were supplied by AP and were 330mm ventilated discs all round with racing callipers. Be under no doubt, these cars are phenomenal machines, and they were so far ahead of their time that they are widely regarded as the reason that ‘hot’ saloons exist today! This, increasingly rare, right-hand drive Lotus Carlton was sold new on 1st August 1991 and is the 134th example off the production line.

One such bill from 2009 for suspension and brake recommissioning totalled over £5,000. Cosmetically, this example presents well and the vendor states: “we can find no evidence of panel damage or replacement.” The paintwork retains a good shine and the panel fit is indeed very good. The interior leather has been recently treated and the cabin looks fresh. The car is standard other than the splendid addition of a stainless steel exhaust system. Offered with a Cobra alarm, 3 sets of keys and an (unfitted) original radio, this is one of just 320 Lotus Carltons in right-hand drive configuration and one with many more years of motoring ahead of it.

If one car is responsible for securing Mercedes-Benz’s reputation for building unburstable and reliable motor cars, it’s the W123 generation. This sturdy three-box saloon arrived in 1976 with a smoothed-off, muted style compared to the car it replaced. A surprising dash of glamour was lent to the W123 with the T-series estate version, which soon found favour with all manner of gentry and antique dealers. Today, this is the most practical W123 and is much desired for its mix of space, comfort and dependability. Like all W123s, it deals with bumpy roads in a gentle, calm fashion thanks to soft, long travel suspension. Choose one in a suitably desirable colour and you have the perfect retro classic to enjoy every day, all year round. We are informed by the vendor that B445 XHX has been the subject of a major restoration in recent years and as such this cars bodywork is in truly exceptional condition. A quick look in the cars history file reveals paperwork for new wings and new rear arches and a very expensive respray.

The engine starts without complaint and the changes from the gearbox are smooth throughout, the brakes quickly stop the car, tracking is straight and true and the temperature gauge stays at the centre of the mark when the car is warm. One of the most appealing aspects of the W123 model is its delightful interior, and this car is no exception, with all gauges and electrics apparently in working order including the original Blaupunkt stereo. All Mercedes-Benz passenger cars even to this day, can be ordered with MB tex leather or real leather and this car has the latter.

The vendor has enjoyed every mile of the 87,000 completed and has kept the car in great condition in his ownership but the time has come to reluctantly move on. Prior to the auction, the Mustang will be MoTd and benefit from a full year’s Road Fund Licence. These upgrades by a famous company to an already fairly serious American ‘muscle car’, have created one of the meanest, leanest, hardest and fastest road cars that you are liable to experience.
This is a one owner from new, 87,000 miles Mustang GT with the stage 2 Roush conversion. The vendor, when ordering new from the dealership in California before shipping to the UK, decided that he wanted just the ‘performance’ from the conversion kit, rather than the styling incorporated in the whole Roush package. Roush therefore upgraded the suspension including stiffer roll bars which, our vendor reports, vastly improves the handling from the standard GT, along with upgrading the brakes and the ever important supercharger. A shortshift gearbox was fitted and a bespoke Roush exhaust has resulted in a mean sounding American muscle car that certainly packs a significant punch, producing 435bhp (+135) and 400lbft (+80).

1960 BSA A10
Registration: TBA Frame Number: DA10R1609 Engine Number: TBA No Reserve
Following the war, the desire for increased horsepower, driven largely by the US market, prompted British motorcycle makers to begin creating more powerful machines based on Edward Turner’s revolutionary 1938 Triumph Speed Twin. The Birmingham Small Arms Company’s answer was the A7, a 500cc vertical twin motorcycle that went on sale in 1946. Demand for yet more power and speed led to the swift evolution of these machines and the first A10 model, The Golden Flash, went on sale in 1950. Various incarnations followed, with the A10 Super Rocket being produced between 1958 and 1963. This model sported a new alloy head and an Amal TT racing carburetor alongside a markedly more powerful 646cc air-cooled twin engine with a reputation for reliability. Finished in metallic blue, this particular BSA A10 was first registered in Canada in 1960 and has great potential as a rolling restoration project. Complete with NOVA number, this machine is strictly sold as seen and buyers are encouraged to come and view this motorbike at the auction. Offered without reserve, this is an opportunity to own and restore arguably the definitive British motorcycle of this period.

1930 SUNBEAM 9/90 SPORT HYBRID
Sunbeam 500 cc model 9/90 Sport Hybrid 1930 A unique opportunity to acquire this very interesting period machine which , when discovered by the vendor, had clearly not been in use for a lengthy period. Although not a ‘barn find’ as such, this machine did need a fair amount of re-commissioning to bring it up to its current condition. Having owned several Sunbeams in the past, the vendor was aware that this machine was not original for the year, but appeared to have received some interesting upgrades and so went ahead with the purchase. But it wasn’t until he rode the machine, post recommissioning, that he realised he had stumbled across something very special indeed. Setting out on its first post re-commissioning ride, it became apparent that this was a very well sorted machine, with a strong lively engine, lovely gearbox, sweet handling and noticeably more powerful than the vendor’s previous model ‘90’. The general spec is as follows:The frame and wheels appear to be a Model ‘9’ of 1930 vintage and there is an original buff log book accompanying it. Fitted to the frame are the later (1931-on) ‘Castle’, single centre spring girder forks, which give far superior handling and compliance than the original ‘Druid’ type, originals. The engine and matching date stamped special carburettor, are of 1929 vintage Model ‘90’, with ‘hairpin’ valve springs

and twin exhaust port head. The accompanying twin ‘shotgun’ pipes were unsilenced, but now contain discreet baffles, in order to humble some of the ‘machine gun’ bark that followed it down the road. The most interesting modification is the 4 speed positive stop close ratio gearbox, (1933 vintage), which transforms the riding experience quite literally. The original 3 speed ‘crash’ boxes are nothing short of dreadful and the gear change a horrible experience, but this 4 speed box – simply brilliant. And so, somebody, many years ago, had obviously gone to a great deal of trouble and no doubt expense, to achieve the result above, but why? A question that wasn’t answered until only a year ago, when two elderly Irish gentlemen at a show where the bike was being exhibited, spotting the ‘Dublin registration number’, came over and told the vendor of its likely history. Motorcycle racing in Ireland was very popular in the ‘30’s, during the run up to the 2nd world war – and Dublin had its own series. It is most likely that this machine was built and commissioned to compete in those races, since Sunbeam bikes were highly rated and the modifications carried out on this machine were synonymous with the competition bikes of the time. Fit the best and aim to win!

1928 Raleigh model 21 500 cc sv During the inter-war period, Raleigh became the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world, but for a relatively short time (1921 – 33), they produced some very fine motorcycles. A number of 250, 350 and 500 cc side valve machines were built from 1923 until 1930 when an overhead valve version was conceived. During that period, Raleigh were praised for their superior build quality and near ‘bomb proof’ reliability. From 1935 on however, all motorised machinery production ceased, as the factory concentrated all its efforts on bicycles, many being produced to supply the armed forces during the prelude to war.

AJS R6 Twin port 350cc 1930 Overhead valves were just beginning to appear on motorcycles in 1930, although comparatively rare and likewise, ‘twin exhaust ports’, but generally these were confined to the more expensive end of the market. As a result of advances in engine design, the ‘R6’ was designed by AJS as ‘suitable for competition’ – and by all accounts, acquitted itself rather well! This particular R6 was restored at the turn of this century to a very high standard and has since had limited use. It is quite well known, however, since it did run in the 100th anniversary TT re-enactment celebration on the Isle of Man and over the years, has become a familiar entry on the ‘Banbury run’. This machine also benefits from rare and original period electric lighting, (more suited to ‘getting home legally’, than actually lighting the way efficiently). However, with a re-silvered reflector, halogen bulb conversion, or indeed a 12-volt conversion, as many of these old machines have been subject to; a much-improved illumination of the road can be achieved. Presented here with its original registration, matching engine and frame numbers, plus the original date stamped and overhauled carburettor, a more complete and totally original bike is a very rare find. The vendor, however, now in his late sixties, is thinning out his collection of much-loved machines and feels the time has come for someone else to enjoy this fine old machine.

1971 FORD ESCORT MEXICO
The Ford Escort, in the hands of the Works Rally team, was practically unbeatable in the late sixties and seventies. Perhaps their most notable early success was winning the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally driven by Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar Palm. Third, in a similar 1850cc Escort, was Rauno Aaltonen and Henry Liddon backed up by Timo Makinen in fifth and the unlikely combination of Tony Fall and Jimmy Greaves just behind in sixth. This result seemed to capture the public’s imagination and, with the old adage of “Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday” in mind, Ford developed the Escort Mexico, a road version of their winning rally car, with a1600cc crossflow Kent engine and brought it to market in November 1970. The rallying dynasty would continue to reign throughout the seventies creating household names of the likes of Roger Clark, Russel Brookes, Bjorn Waldegard and Ari Vatanen, and naturally Ford continued to create road cars that echoed their competition siblings. All Escort Mexicos were built at Ford’s Advanced Vehicles Operations (AVO) plant at Aveley in South Essex and a total of 10,352 Mexicos had been produced when production ceased. For most drivers of standard Escorts, the rally cars were an aspirational dream and Ford’s showroom

Offered here, is a genuine AVO Ford Escort Mexico built at Aveley in May 1971, and this is confirmed by the V5 which states ‘Ford Mexico’. Its rally pedigree is endorsed by an earlier MSA rally competition logbook ( requires renewing) and the roll bar carries some scrutineering stickers. The engine is gas flowed, fed by 45 DCOE Webers and sounds very strong. It’s dry sumped with the oil tank fitted in the boot and the gearbox is a Rocket with close cut, straight ratios linked to a limited slip differential. A Rally Weld alloy competition fuel tank with spare wheel recess is boot mounted. It has vented front discs and drum rears with a bias control and comes complete with a spare set (5) of Minilite 13”x6” wheels. The MoT is current until June 2016. It would obviously be sensible for any prospective buyer to check the expiry dates of any safety equipment. This is a great opportunity to own an iconic seventies ‘Fast Ford’, with all the history and magic that the name ‘Mexico’ implies.

1967 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE
The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid’60s the biggest population bubble in history was now coming of age in America, ‘baby boomers’ would rule the ‘60s and there was little or no reason to think they wanted to drive cars that were anything like the ones their parents owned. The iconic Ford Mustang, therefore, created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and consequently 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 the cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear end design, both its roof and bonnet were also lower in comparison. It’s with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches as the galloping horse in the grille, the cut-away side panels and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car that people were instantly passionate about.

As a result it appears to be in generally good condition all round with further scope for aesthetic improvements should one desire. Turquoise is one of the most complementary colours we have seen on a Mustang in a long time and the contrasting white roof looks to be in excellent condition and finishes the car off perfectly with the whole ensemble looking a bit ‘Miami Beach’. With its rumbling ‘289’, this feisty Mustang should deliver a great, top down, driving experience. The perfect spring weekend cruiser.

Standard fitment was a 3.5 litre, 24 valve DOHC V6 engine which featured their very advanced MIVEC system (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic lift Control). A new dual-plenum variable intake further improved both bhp and torque throughout the power range and an enhanced suspension with high-tech dampers improved both ride and handling.

1979 ALFA ROMEO SPRINT VELOCE
When it went on sale in 1972 after being first launched the previous year at the Turin Motor Show, the Alfasud rewrote the book. Given that Alfa Romeo had no experience of small front-wheel drive cars, the sheer dynamic excellence of the flat-four powered Sud came as a shock, leaving the opposition grasping at straws in order to catch up. In 1976, Alfa Romeo trumped the standard Sud by re-working it into a gorgeous Coupé and the results were predictably fantastic. Styling was handled by Giugiaro who, of course, had penned Alfa Romeo’s most praised design, the 105 Series and who, at the time, was probably the best designer in the World in terms of drawing cars that were simply ‘beautiful’. The Sprint, in many people’s eyes, eclipsed the already desirable Alfetta GTV. It was especially rapid in twin-carb Veloce form, like the one offered here today, but any example will reward the enthusiastic driver. A questionable 1980’s facelift did it no favours though, and most fans prefer the crisp original. First registered 7/1/1980, this car is surely one of the most original surviving examples of its kind. Having come from a deceased estate, the car is showing just 968 miles and is believed to have had just one owner from new.

Inside and outside the car is seemingly in good health and, on first inspection, presents itself as one of the most untouched cars that we have come across. The car is presented with the orginal books including the Service book, Dealer List, Instruction book and Voucher book. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances of the car’s sale, much of the history for this vehicle has not been found. Although some further documentation may turn up at a later stage, one should assume that the car will be presented with no V5C or further documentation then stated. A real time-machine of a collector’s piece, this Alfa Romeo is reminiscent of the company’s true ethos, the Sprint Veloce being one of the last cars built before Alfa’s takeover by Fiat. A car from the glory days of Alfa Romeo, when the cars were designed for style, performance and pure driving pleasure. Full of passion and Italian sunshine!

2013 EVANTA ASTON MARTIN DBR1
Designed and built by Aston Martin in the late 1950s, the DBR1 and DBR2 were legendary sports racing cars built primarily for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other high profile sports car races of the period in both Europe and the USA. They were particularly successful in the hands of, both Innes Ireland, who won the Daily Express Trophy at Silverstone, and Sir Stirling Moss who finished second at Spa but went on to win both the British Empire Trophy at Oulton Park and the Sussex Trophy at Goodwood. Across the Atlantic, the car won at Lime Rock and Marlborough in the hands of George Constantine, before Carol Shelby and Roy Salvadori sealed the car’s legendary status by winning Le Mans outright in 1959. They were regarded as stunning looking and highly evocative of the era and today no-one truly knows the value of a DBR1 or DBR2. In 2012, DBR1/2 ‘XSK 497’was reputedly sold for £20million and it is likely today that they are amongst the world’s most valuable racing cars. So this particular car, which was built in 2013 by the very highly respected Evanta Motor Company, owned by car designer and “ For the Love of Cars” Classic Car enthusiast, Ant Anstead, is an exciting and rare opportunity. The original owner of this car took over 150 photographs of the real car and considered 15 different Pantones before selecting the best recreation of the Aston Martin Racing Green and the correct ‘duck egg’ colour for the frame.

Silverstone Auctions sold this car before in May 2014 to a known enthusiast and collector who has enjoyed it immensely, but wanted a better power plant than the original second hand 3.8 and so bought a special new 4.2 high compression engine which was built, fitted and set-up at a cost in excess of £14,000.

Firmly placed in Ferrari’s history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello’s combination of its stylish Pininfarina lines and front mounted 12-cylinder engine meant this car had the potential to become an instant classic, following in the footsteps of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’. With modern styling cues, a 5.5 litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a serious motor car. A less frenetic power delivery, the six-speed manual box and excellent weight distribution were all factors in the 550 becoming the perfect European Grand Tourer. This superb left-hand drive 550 Maranello was sold new through official Ferrari dealer Genesis S.A. of Athens and was collected at the factory on 18th March 1999. Purchased by the owner of Genesis S.A., Mr I. Vardinoyannis, on behalf of his cousin, Mr B. Goulandris of London, the car was then driven to the UK and registered there on 21st April 1999.

Nearly all MoT certificates dating back to 2002 suggest the car has been used sparingly but regularly, with mileage kept to a minimum. The car has been comprehensively maintained by experts such as DK Engineering, Joe Macari, Rardley Motors and Maranello Sales Ltd and the original service book, handbooks, wallet, tools, x2 keys, x3 alarm fobs and invoices are all present in the history file. In addition, the interior boasts 550 Maranello fitted luggage and the cases will be supplied to the new owner. Front engined V12 manual Ferraris continue to have the renaissance they richly deserve, and this beautiful 550 Maranello opens the door into a very exclusive club filled with these glorious sounding Grand Tourers. We welcome all pre-sale inspections on this 550, which is not only in beautiful low-mileage condition but has an excellent history to match.
Finished in the special order colour of Canna di Fucile (703/C) or Gunmetal Grey with beige hide interior, the condition of this 550 must be seen to be truly appreciated. The bodywork is hard to fault with gleaming paintwork and flawless panel fit. The interior looks exceptional in beige and both the leather and stitching are in superb condition still with the plastic protection on some of the carpets. The engine bay presents beautifully and one gets a sense that this Ferrari has been treasured and very well cared for by its previous owners.

1960 JAGUAR XK150 DROPHEAD COUPÉ
The XK120 was launched in 1948 and was an international sensation, finally putting Jaguar on the world stage and their competition successes would see the beginning of a hugely positive period for the company. The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK line and appeared in May 1957. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the XK140 including the same 3.4-litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, which developed 180bhp at 5,750rpm. As before with the XK range, standard (with steel wheels) and special equipment models were available, but a bewildering range of models was to evolve. Firstly, in 1958, the ‘S’ model was announced, equipped to ‘special equipment’ specification and with a more powerful engine although still of 3.4-litre capacity. Late in 1959 further options were offered with the introduction of the 3.8-litre engine and the XK150 was available not only in 3.4-litre versions but two versions (Normal and “S”) of the 3.8 variety. A total of 2,200 XK150 Drophead Coupé models were made, making them an extremely desirable and rare open top British sports car, especially those with the later 3.8 engine.

paintwork, we feel the car is eminently useable in its current form and would make an ideal touring companion. Manufactured on 8th March 1960, this example was sold new by Jaguar Cars New York and was subsequently repatriated to the UK prior to restoration. Sensible modern upgrades include a 5-speed gearbox and Kenlowe fan. Whilst being photographed, the car started up without fault and maintained healthy oil pressure. Fitted with chrome wire wheels and radial tyres, this XK150 certainly looks the part and is accompanied by a lovely history file. A large number of bills and receipts are present along with a Heritage Certificate, some photos of the restoration and its UK V5C. We believe that XK Roadsters and Dropheads offer classic British open-top motoring for a very reasonable outlay and also represent a most sensible investment opportunity. This car is a fine example of the model and would take pride of place in any Jaguar collection. We welcome pre-sale inspections and buyers are encouraged to contact the office for further information.
This original 3.8 litre XK150 Drophead Coupé was subject to a complete body off restoration approximately 15 years ago by respected marque specialists XK Engineering.

Anyone who followed the “World Championship of Makes” (essentially an international championship for long-distance Sports Car racing), will remember their surprise at the shape of the new 935 when it first appeared at Mugello in March 1976. Subsequently, these ‘Flachbau’ or ‘Flatnose’ 935s and 936s were to prove very competitive in the hands of drivers such as Ickx, Mass and Stommelen and during the next two seasons managed four victories in eight World Championship races and a triumph at Le Mans in each year. This 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo was built on the 2nd of December 1986, and dispatched through Porsche in the Netherlands it was well optioned from new, the most obvious of course being its distinctive body shape. As if a Flatnose 911 Turbo didn’t stand out from the crowd enough, early in the cars life it was sent to world renowned Porsche tuners RUF, who are the only recognised partner of Porsche and, in fact, are recognised by the German government as a manufacturer in their own right. The customer opted for a BTR conversion (B = Group B, T = Turbo, R = RUF). The basics of the RUF BTR start with the engine, which had the original partially finned cylinder barrels replaced by ones with air-cooling fins around their complete diameter. The bore was increased giving a new displacement of 3.4 litres from the original 3.3litres. Ruf added unique Mahle Pistons and connecting rods and 935 type camshafts. The intake manifold was replaced, as was the exhaust, A larger KKK K27 unit replaced the turbo, and a larger free flowing intercooler was added along with the installation of a larger oil cooler behind the Ruf

front spoiler. Ruf also went to great lengths to modify the standard Porsche 930 4-speed by adding a 5th gear with the help of Getrag. Next, the shift linkage was improved, becoming both lighter and more positive than the stock unit. The cars were lowered and the suspension was stiffened, RUF also fitted single-piece forged rims, sized 9x17 and 10x17. Inside, RUF added an adjustable boost control, changed the steering wheel to a Ruf item, and added custom gauges and a half cage. This car has also at some point been fitted with Clubsport seats from a 996 GT3. The conversion produced some rousing statistics: Power increased from 300bhp to 374bhp, top speed reached 187mph, and 0 to 60mph was reached in a staggering 4.4 secs. It was at this point a Ruf BTR became the fastest accelerating production car ever. Ruf had even bettered the performance figures for Porsche’s own Group B Le Mans car! The Managing Director of a highly esteemed Porsche Specialist previously owned this particular vehicle for 17 years and, we understand has been developed even further to produce around 500bhp. This distinctive Porsche is presented with all its paperwork which is available to view, and has recently been prepared for sale by Porsche Centre Leeds. A true 80’s Poster girl, outstanding looks with ballistic performance, easily a match for any modern day supercar.

1991 FERRARI TESTAROSSA
When Ferrari introduced the Testarossa in Paris in 1984 it was regarded as possibly the best car Ferrari had ever built but, whilst the design was spectacular, it was not considered to be as sensually beautiful as numerous Ferrari Grand Tourers of the past. Uncharacteristically, Pininfarina had designed a modern, aerodynamic and efficient body, immediately recognisable by its very distinctive side strakes unlike anything else seen before. The name ‘Testarossa’, literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the 50s and 60s and was resurrected at the launch of their new model at the Paris Show at Porte de Versailles in 1984. Housing a 4.9-litre V12 engine producing 390bhp, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossas were made in total. Once again time showed Pininfarina’s design to be durable and throughout the eighties, the distinctive ‘strakes’ were copied in countless contexts. Simultaneously, the Testarossa proved itself to be a well-built car, and despite its towering high price from new, turned out to be Ferrari’s most successful model ever. Today it’s a design icon, symbolic of eighties culture, and despite a period in the ‘boondocks’ its popularity is returning rapidly. It’s not a surprise really since the Testarossa offers a rare package of powerful

performance, practicality and comfort and its groundbreaking design works equally well on the highway or in an exhibition of contemporary art. This ‘last of line’ Ferrari Testarossa was delivered in Italy on 28th October 1991 by Crepaldi Auto Milan, the biggest Ferrari dealer in Italy! Staying with its original owner but hardly used, it changed hands to its second and only other owner in 2007, with just 2,780 Kms recorded at the time. It then had an engine out belt service and the new owner fitted a Tubi exhaust to optimise the sound of that glorious flat 12. The history file tells us, with a documented picture record, that the car was taken to obtain “Italian ASI classic car certification”, confirming the original engine, gearbox and chassis are still united and further that the car is accident-free and retains its original paint finish. It has just returned from a full engine-out service, including belts, carried out by specialists Aldo Riti at a cost of £6,000. Today, this glorious Rosso Red with Tan leather upholstery, left-hand drive car has covered just 4,608 Kms, or 2,800 miles to you and me. It is highly collectable, totally original and very desirable, particularly at this very sensible guide. It is certainly priced to sell in the market today.

1955 LAND ROVER SERIES I 86INS
The original Land Rover Series I was designed by Maurice Wilks and launched by the Rover Company of Solihull on 30th April 1948. It had an 80-inch wheelbase and a sturdy box section ladder-frame chassis. The open back with 3 seats in the front design was heavily influenced by the American World War Two Willys Jeep. The Land Rover quickly became popular with both the army and the farming fraternity (not least because it had a ‘power take-off’ or PTO as standard). The wheelbase was extended to 86 inches in 1955 to give the vehicle more stability and greater load capacity. A canvas top also became a practical addition. The strong, reliable 2.0 litre petrol engine was standard until 1957 when, with the introduction of the Series II model, a diesel engine was offered as an alternative. This 1955 Series One 86” petrol Land Rover was supplied new to F. Dobson Limited of Bexhill-on-Sea on 8th September 1955. The car was originally painted L1 Green and was a RHD Home Market example according to the Heritage Certificate. The last owner was an avid Land Rover enthusiast and set about restoring chassis number 170600255 over a ten year period between 2002 to 2012. As detailed by invoices for parts and photographs in the history folder, this Series One was taken back to the bare chassis and all corrosion attended to. The bulkhead was stripped and removed, all rust was removed and new footwells were welded in. Pictures show the car as a complete rolling chassis. Where original parts were in good condition they were cleaned and repainted as necessary. New parts that were fitted during the

restoration included: brake wheel cylinders, brake pipes, brake shoes, shock absorbers, upholstery, hoses, wiring loom, clutch, front bumper, windscreen frame, tyres, water hoses and voltage control regulator. Where specialist work was required, the owner sub-contracted accordingly. The gearbox and front axle were rebuilt by marque specialists JSF Norwich. The brake master cylinder by Past Parts of Bury St Edmonds and the SU fuel pump by Land Rover Orphanage. Many hundreds of hours were dedicated to the rebuild and the car has covered only 500 miles since completion. Presented in standard specification, HSL 826 has been lovingly preserved for generations to come. In October 2012, the exact same model, although formerly the property of Sir Winston Churchill, achieved £140,000 at auction. This consignor is no stranger to world record beating Land Rovers, and with the demise of the Defender this year, this is a great opportunity to purchase a superlative example of a ‘proper’ Land Rover.

1999 GTD LOLA T70 MKIIIB REPLICA
In period, the Lola T70 was acclaimed as one of the most beautiful Sports Prototype Coupés of its time, and fifty years later its dramatic looks still have the ability to stir the soul of anyone passionate about motor racing. Perhaps the most widely recognised of the large variety of competition cars produced during four decades by Eric Broadley and his team at Lola Cars Ltd., the T70 was the most successful and these iconic racers have stood the test of time as, alongside the “Continuation” cars produced in 2005, numbers of original T70s are still to be found thundering round at most prestigious Historic Meetings. Most of us have stared at a ‘big banger’ sports racer from the sixties and seventies, spitting and belching flames as it was warmed up in the paddock, and wondered just what it would be like to drive on the road, and in the mid-nineties Roger Attaway from GT Developments in Poole decided that was exactly what he would like to create and it was going to be a Lola T70 Coupé. In fairness, GTD were the best known and most respected builders of GT40 Replicas in the country and had the necessary facilities and talented engineers to make an excellent job of it. They had started out originally as agents for the KVA GT40 Replica but it wasn’t long before they had redesigned the front and rear of the KVA chassis and were selling the cars as GTDs. As is often the way with bright young engineers, they weren’t happy until they were building the whole car to their own standards and many of these still take pride of place at GT40 events today. The design and construction of a road-going T70 Mk.IIIB on their GTD/ GT40 Chassis was not the compromise it may sound as the original T70, introduced in 1965, used a chassis developed from Eric Broadley’s 1962, Mk. 6 GT sports racer, which effectively was the basis for Ford’s GT40 and latterly became known as the ‘GT40 Prototype’.

The fabulous car offered here is one of those road-legal, GTD T70 Mk.IIIBs, the construction of which was supervised and meticulously completed by Derek Bell of Bell Performance and Design. Powered by a 5.8 litre (355ci) Chevrolet V8 on Webers with an MSD Ignition System and mated to a Renault Gearbox (modified and strengthened by Bell Performance) resulting in a power delivery that makes it a very effective track-day tool whilst remaining sufficiently tractable for road use. The suspension is fully adjustable, the brakes and clutch are competition spec, and the exhaust is removable to provide ‘open pipes’ for circuit use. Set up by knowledgeable recent owners (the current vendors actually own one of the original T70s) and having benefited from considerable input from a leading race team, the car is now ‘on the button’. There are a number of enhancements which make this car’s use on the road a real option, including air conditioning, security, extra storage compartments, a CD player and an intercom (essential really, as although the Stainless Steel exhaust is effective, there are about 500 Horses trying to kick down the stable door about 14 inches behind your left ear!). Well presented in Dark Green with distinctive White Arrow graphics the car carries the appropriate registration number V121 OLA. All looks well under the ‘bonnet’ and rear ‘clamshell’ engine cover with lots of detailing and state of the art race-technology. It’s road registered and currently MoT’d. With original T70s changing hands for serious amounts, this accurate Lola replica represents the best of both worlds, able to turn a few heads at Silverstone on a Friday morning and quite a few more outside the Dog and Duck on a Sunday lunchtime.

Registration: TBA Chassis Number: ZFFLD14S000045233 Engine Number: Not Specified Estimate (£): 25,000 - 30,000
The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina as its choice of styling house, and it was sold as a mid-sized coupé and, eventually, a cabriolet. Conceived as a ‘more usable’ model, offering the practicality of four seats with the performance of a mid-range Ferrari and hopefully attracting a slightly wider audience than their traditionally more focussed two-seaters. The car’s body was not built as a monocoque in the same way as a conventional car but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena and clothed a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it had been on earlier models.
covered just 56,000kms (35,000mls), the car is in fine order indeed having clearly enjoyed a well maintained life, the service records for the car are as follows:
Like the new 328 GTB, the Mondial’s engine grew in both bore and stroke to 3.2 Litres (3185 cc) for 1985. Output was now 280 bhp (201 kW). Available in both Coupé and Cabriolet forms, styling was refreshed with redesigned and body-coloured bumpers, similar to the 328 with more integrated indicators & driving lamps, and new wheels with a more rounded face. The 3.2 also boasted a major interior update with a more ergonomic layout and a more rounded instrument binnacle.

The Ford Escort Mexico was introduced in November 1970 and was so named because of Ford Motor Company’s victory in the World Cup Rally. This rally started in London on 19th April 1970, and finished some 16,000 miles later in Mexico. Originally Ford intended to use Escorts with the Twin Cam or BDA engine, but after reconnaissance work it was decided that high speeds and high power were less important than reliability and ease of servicing, and therefore the ‘Kent’ pushrod engine was used in the Escort shell. It seems likely that Ford already had plans to produce a high performance Escort to fit in the range between the 1300GT and the Twin Cam / RS1600, but their victory in Mexico provided an ideal platform to launch such a model. The engineers at the newly formed A.V.O (Advanced Vehicles Operations) quickly developed the ‘Mexico’, marrying the Type 49 body-shell as used in the Twin Cam and RS1600 with the 1600cc Kent ‘crossflow’ engine and 2000E gearbox. So, effectively, the Mexico was basically a re-engined Twin Cam / RS1600. The Mexico was AVO’s most successful and numerous of the ‘Rally Sport Escorts,’ and it had a number of advantages on the road, in that it had good performance, was easy to maintain, relatively easy to insure and above all it was great to drive, something which is still very true today. The car presented here is a Ford Escort Mexico, first registered on 1st August 1972. With the correct chassis and engine numbers for a Mexico, this car is now something very special.

original colour of Monza Blue (rare in period) it’s in quite exceptional condition and must surely be one of the best examples available. The car’s original shell suffered with rust and was beyond economical repair, but luckily the owner at that time managed to source a very rare, new Mk1 Type 49 heavy-duty shell. This complete shell, including doors, boot lid and bonnet had been in dry storage since 1975. There are photographs in the car’s history file to support these details. The shell was purchased in 2000 (the original advert is also in the file), and the car was comprehensively re-built. All the original parts from the car were either recommissioned or replaced as necessary and put onto the new shell. All mechanical components were overhauled with the engine being completely re-built. This engine work is supported by invoices, as is much of the overhaul. The interior has been fully restored and benefits from upgraded Contour sports seats. The car also has some additional, periodrelevant upgrades including Bilstein suspension, Cibie spot-lights, twin 40 Webers, a Burton head and RS alloys. It’s obviously impossible to buy a new Mk1 Escort Mexico, but UVW 358L may be as close as you can get. The car has done just 500 miles since its restoration. With completely original cars being very hard to come by, and with most surviving examples having had new panels, some welding and/or some inferior rebuild work, this car represents the perfect solution. It is absolutely ready to go and would be an asset to any collection. These special cars have quite a following, with a strong club scene and this example is sure to be revered and celebrated.

1987 FERRARI 328 GTS
The Ferrari 328 GTS and GTB had their worldwide debut at the 1985 Frankfurt motor show. Its styling is an obvious evolution of the Ferrari 308 series, with Pininfarina’s Leonardo Fioravanti softening his previous design so that it remained a popular choice with the Ferrari aficionados. Under the engine cover is the same transversely-mounted, fuelinjected V8 engine from the Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole, with an increase in displacement to 3.2 litres. Performance, handling and road holding are a big step on from its predecessor, although it retains all the benefits of the Ferrari 308’s independent suspension and fivespeed manual gearbox. Another significant difference over the Ferrari 308 is the use of galvanized steel, which greatly reduces potential rust problems compared to its forebear. The early models of the 328 have an edge as far as collectability goes, thanks to several unique interior details, as well as the elegant concave wheel design. In 1988, ABS became available, and these later cars have a redesigned convex wheel to accommodate the system. While the 328 GTS was a runaway commercial success for Ferrari, the number of RHD cars built was less than 10% of the production run.

Even more significantly, the odometer in this Ferrari 328 GTS records just 5,900 miles from new. It has been described by leading marque experts Foskers as: “in superb mechanical and cosmetic condition, and has recently received a new clutch and service”. Documents within the history file substantiate the car’s light use, while the complete and original book pack with service book, tool roll and jack kit are in immaculate condition. The exterior bodywork is in excellent condition, the paint retains an excellent shine and the panel gaps are even and consistent. The interior trim is simply stunning, and it even retains the original emergency lamp within the lockable central storage. All five wheels are in pristine order and they all wear the correct and original Goodyear Eagle VR55 tyres. The 328 GTS is a wonderful classic Ferrari, which is eminently useable and yet offers genuinely impressive performance.

2010 PORSCHE 997 GT3 RS GEN II
Described by the majority of respected performance motoring magazines as “The best driver’s 911 yet”, the outstanding GT3 RS Generation 2 was introduced by Porsche in May of 2010 to great critical acclaim. A lot of this journalistic enthusiasm was generated by its wholesome 444bhp output delivered in an almost linear form which, in the right conditions, whistled this Gen II car up to 60mph in 3.9 secs, 100mph 4.5 secs later and on to a top speed of 195mph with the horizon approaching rapidly. Effectively a ‘Carrera Cup’ car for the road, the mind blowing straight line performance was matched by its competent and predictable handling owing much to the underpinnings and suspension settings being derived from several years of competition experience with GT3s. The ride/handling balance is exceptional and the cabin is civilised, resulting in a very quick car that can comfortably be used daily. There are 911s and then there’s the 911 GT3 RS.

1970 PORSCHE 911E COUPÉ
Porsche produced the 911E from 1969 to 1973. It was designed to be the most comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). The benefits were better power and driveability whilst the interior had a few more comfort features, better brakes and gold script on the engine cover. Sporting perhaps one of the best colour combinations for a 911 of this period of Gemini Blue paintwork with a contrasting black interior, this Porsche has all the hallmarks of a very desirable sports car. This particular example is an incredibly straight and solid ex-USA Coupé boasting a purposeful stance, and a powerful engine. On close inspection it’s apparent that this car would benefit from a repaint, though it is still bright and presentable as is, and this was the way the vendor preferred it as he used it at his home in the US.

The engine fitted to this car is a correct 911E unit, (numbered *6210153), but it is not the matching engine for this car. Rather than the somewhat temperamental mechanical fuel injection system, this ‘E’ engine has been converted to run on Weber carburetors resulting in excellent throttle response, and when combined with the balanced and determined handling of these early 911s, this makes for a tight, fun and fast drivers’ car. This Porsche has recently passed its MoT test certificate and the application for UK V5C registration is underway. It is thought that this will be with the car before the sale. Please direct any specific questions you may have about this car to us and we’ll be happy to answer them thoroughly.

The Ferrari 348 series marked a radical departure in the way Maranello constructed its cars, replacing as they did a chassis of traditional steel tubes with a much stiffer monocoque structure attached to a tubular rear subframe. Suspension remained independent front and rear with wishbones, springs, telescopic shocks, anti-roll bars, and revised geometry. The ventilated disc brakes were much larger than those of its predecessor the Ferrari 328, and used anti-lock technology. A midship mounted V8 returned, but it was larger and more powerful displacing 3405cc, mounted longitudinally and mated to a transverse gearbox. The displacement accounted for the new car’s Ferrari 348 designation. A higher compression ratio and updated fuel injection helped generate 300 horsepower, 30-40 more than the Ferrari 328, whilst dry-sump lubrication gave the new Ferrari a lower centre of gravity. The 348 was the last design under the supervision of legendary chief stylist Leonardo Fioravanti. Taking cues from the Testarossa, its lines were softer than those of the 328 but still curvaceous, the side strakes being the most obvious Testarossa inspiration. The wheelbase was longer than the 328’s and the track wider, giving the interior a little more space.

1992 LANCIA DELTA INTEGRALE HF TURBO MARTINI 5
First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979, the Lancia Delta Integrale is best known for its domination of The World Rally Championship in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Constantly being developed, the first ‘Evoluzione’ cars were built at the end of 1991 and carried on through 1992 and these ‘Evoluzione’ models were to be the final homologation cars built for the Lancia Rally Team competing under the Martini Racing banner. In the never-ending quest for better handling, the Evoluzione had a wider front and rear track than earlier Deltas and in order to squeeze this under the bodywork, the already wide wheel arches were extended even further and in the process also became more rounded. The ‘new’ Integrale retained the four-wheel-drive layout with an epicyclic centre diff and 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 maximising the potential of the car and it worked, with the developed car shaving over 5% off previous stage times on asphalt and gravel.

This example of one of the most iconic and sought after cars of its era, is number 124 of the limited run of 400 cars built to celebrate the Integrale’s fifth consecutive victory in the World Championship for Manufacturers. It’s every inch, the ‘poster car’ and presents beautifully in the distinctive white livery of the famous Martini drinks company, Lancia’s sponsors at the time, and the interior is trimmed in unmarked grey Alcantara. Despite the competition livery, this Integrale is a road car, a road that it has only ever seen once when it was delivered by the supplying dealer to its only owner where it has remained in perfect storage conditions for the last 22 years. The car has covered a distance of only 50 kilometers from new and is supplied with its original service book, manual, invoice and tool kit. This 1992 Delta Integrale HF Turbo Martini 5 is very special, and whilst it’s not accurate to describe a 24year old car with 31 miles indicated as being ‘like brand new’, we’re not sure how else to describe it.

When a company with one of the greatest saloon car racing histories of all time and an engineering department with the greatest minds and billions at its disposal produces a car designed to be the best, you better believe it is. With only 1,383 produced during its 2004 production run, the E46 M3 CSL, the L stood for Leichtbau, was the definitive ‘Touring Car’ for the road. Available in only two colours, silver grey metallic and black sapphire metallic, the CSL was powered by a modified version of the usual 3,246cc S54 inline-six, mated to the exclusive SMG II transmission. This state-of-the-art transmission featured a launch control mode that automatically shifts at the optimum point for maximum acceleration, and this, in turn, was mated to the standard E46 M3 final drive and M Differential Lock. Finally, the DSC can be switched to ‘M Track’ mode with a steering wheelmounted button, raising the threshold at which the system intervenes to allow for some degree of wheelspin. Zero to sixty is in an incredible 4.6 seconds, totally remarkable in a car with four comfortable seats, electric windows and a boot for the weekly shop. BMW’s ‘Leichtbau’ philosophy in terms of the mass produced M3 was, not only to reduce weight overall, but to distribute the weight savings to retain the E46 3-Series’ perfect 50-50 split. To get the centre of gravity as low as possible, the CSL adopted many weight saving technologies from BMW’s Formula One racing applications. A large proportion of the M3’s sound insulation was removed, along with the electric seats and navigation systems. The CSL’s unique body pieces, including the roof, were all crafted from carbon fibre, glass-reinforced plastics were used throughout structural points in the car, and the standard rear

window was replaced with one made from thinner glass. The results were considerably more effective than the 110kg. weight saving would suggest, as the reduction in mass in conjunction with the lowered height of that mass and less body flex led to a dramatic improvement in dynamics, and the car would turn left and right in a much more eager fashion, which, in fact, was the idea. Offered here is a rare right-hand drive example, one of just 106 in Sapphire Black, and registered new in the UK on the 23rd March 2004. Ordered with an option pack that included climate comfort, Xenon headlights with headlamp wash, CD player, park distance control, AP racing front brakes and the all important touch, a CSL Dash Plaque. Showing just 60,900 miles, this sparkling black example has full BMW main dealer service history, with a recent service and an inspection of the rear sub-frame by BMW completed just last month. The car formed part of a large private collection, and is ready to muscle its way through the streets once again. Offered with four brand new Michelin Super Sport tyres, a detailed history file that includes the full BMW book pack, sales brochure and an MoT until December 2016 this CSL offers one of the finest driving experiences available. It must be noted, that lower mileage examples of the CSL are changing hands at a shade under the £100,000 mark, making this example a very attractive car at this guide price.

1999 FERRARI 456M GTA
In period, the Ferrari 456 was the fastest production four-seater in the world. Powered by what was essentially a detuned version of the engine powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442 bhp and, except for the F40, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that point. Pininfarina worked its magic on the 456 to create a subtly beautiful and curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Aerodynamically efficient, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum speed of around 190 mph. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456’s styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina’s vision in creating one of the most beautiful vehicle designs of modern times. The ‘Modificata’ 456 M appeared in 1998, starting with chassis number 109589 and incorporated a number of changes including improvements to the aerodynamics and cooling, and the interior, still featuring Connolly Leather, was freshened up with new seats and other detailing. This original UK, right-hand drive, 456M GTA was delivered new on 7th September 1999 to a Mr C. Hewitt by Maranello Sales Ltd in Egham. The car displays an impressive mileage of only 34,000 miles from new and is supplied with its original service manual, tool kit, compressor, x2 keys and a number of invoices in the history file. Finished in the superb colour of Blue Scuro with a black leather interior, the paintwork presents very well and the interior is a joy to behold, having benefitted from a recent refresh. The car starts up with a reassuring howl and the automatic gearbox selects gears smoothly and is perfect for grand touring.

The Porsche 911 was introduced in 1963 to great acclaim, and has become one of the worlds most enduring sports car designs. Disappointing initial sales of the two- litre car forced Porsche to have a bit of a rethink, and the decision was taken to fit the well-loved 1600 cc engine from the outgoing 356 into a 911 with one or two economies in manufacture and a slightly lower spec, to produce a modern sports car that was considerably more affordable. The result was a car that had all the looks of the 911 but with inspiring handling and better balance, and launched in 1965 it found an eager market, outselling the 911 particularly in the USA.

2001 NOBLE M12 GTO 2.5
Noble Automotive Ltd. was founded in 1999 by British entrepreneur, car designer and engineer Lee Noble. Using his experience from working with Ascari, Lee Noble quickly established his company’s commitment to designing and manufacturing high-speed sports cars with a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. As chief designer he oversaw the evolution of the company’s first model, the M10, into the M12 which was first produced in 2000. This soon became a bench mark for its incredibly compliant ride, reassuring and precise handling and impressive power delivery, receiving almost universal praise from the world’s motoring press. Lee Noble sold the company in August 2006 to Peter Dyson and later resigned in 2008 to work on other ventures. As an avid and knowledgeable collector of exotic cars and a successful business entrepreneur, Dyson was also an M12 owner and a huge admirer of both Noble Automotive and the M12’s attributes. He has taken Noble Automotive forward, with new hi-tech premises in Leicestershire and their current model, the M600, is a highly regarded supercar and a serious competitor to many more established and revered marques. The M12 was produced in four variants (GTO 2.5, GTO-3 3.0, GTO3R 3.0, with the M400 being the ultimate version of the M12), all being powered by specially tuned, twin-turbocharged Ford Duratec V6 engines. The M12 has a full steel roll-cage, steel frame and G.R.P composite clam shell body parts. These cars are extremely lightweight and stiff, with the ability to perform very well on both road and track, with surprisingly good ride quality and lots of confidence inspiring feedback.

At launch, the M12 had 310 bhp with the help of its pair of Garrett T25 turbos, giving a top speed of 165mph and a 0-60 mph time 4.1 seconds. With its quasi-racer feel, being heightened by the very visible, Alcantara-trimmed roll-cage and no-nonsense instruments, this really is a driver’s car. There was no ABS, no traction control and no ESP, just real engineering integrity and a brilliant design. These special cars were able to compete dynamically with the best junior supercars of the day. The car offered here is a 2001 M12 GTO 2.5. Rarely for a Noble, we are informed that this car has only ever been used on the road and never tracked, and its fantastic condition and originality would strongly support this. This M12 has been well maintained, having covered just 15,540 miles, which must make it one of the least driven examples currently available. This mileage is backed up by a series of old MoT certificates and a number of receipts. This striking car is painted in GTS Blue, the colour used on the Chrysler Viper supercar, contrasting really well with a blue/black alcantara fabric interior. With sports cars getting more sophisticated, heavier and more reliant on electronic driving aids, the M12 represents something of a watershed in design, harping back to the ethos of Colin Chapman and the current thinking of Gordon Murray, where light weight, chassis dynamics and sufficient power result in a more engaging experience for owners who put driving first.

This very special Porsche is a 1993 Ruf 964 RCT (Ruf Carrera Turbo) and was originally supplied by Porsche Stuttgart, country code C00 for Germany, as a wide-body 911 Carrera 4 Anniversary model known as the ‘30 Jahre 911’. Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show to celebrate 30 years of the 911, this limited edition 964 featured Turbo-body styling, chassis, brakes suspension and a 3.6 litre engine. This particular car was spotted by none other than Alois Ruf Jr, the boss of Ruf Automobile GmbH, and became his personal car in 1997. It was used as the basis for a revolutionary conversion he had developed that would combine a Turbocharged 964 3.6 engine with four-wheel drive. Something that Porsche themselves would later employ in the 993 Turbo. The Ruf factory quickly set about stripping the car and rebuilding it with some mouth-watering components. The 964 engine was created in-house with twin-plug ignition, Motronic engine management and naturally a KKK K26 Turbo that took the original output from 300bhp to 385bhp. The gearbox was rebuilt by Ruf and a limited slip differential fitted. Also fitted were uprated Ruf brakes, Ruf suspension, Ruf sports exhaust, Ruf 5-spoke 18” Speedline Wheels, Ruf electronic controlled 4-wheel drive transaxle, and numerous aesthetic upgrades such as steering wheel, gauges and pedals, as well as aerodynamic ones with rain gutter delete on the A pillars. The RUF factory believes to have produced no more than 100 RCT models, with this particular car being the only one with wide Turbo body and 4-wheel drive.

The car remained in Alois Ruf’s collection until 2007, when it was sold to a UK collector and enthusiast. As one would expect, the car has attracted the interest of Porsche journalists and enthusiasts. In February 2011 it was featured in ‘911 & Porsche World’ and favorably compared to it Porsche cousin, the 3.6 964 Turbo. Finished in Schwartz Metallic, the paintwork today looks stunning and the panel fit is excellent. The grey full leather interior features electric comfort seats with driver lumber support and is presented in superb condition. One of the most impressive aspects of this vehicle is its service history. There are stamps in the service book from 1993-1997 by Porsche main agents in Germany. From 1997-2008 it is all Ruf factory stamps and from 2008 onwards it has been maintained by Porsche West London, Jaz and then back to Ruf again in 2011 for a suspension overhaul and service. Supplied with its original German paperwork and registration document, numerous bills and receipts for works carried out, original stamped service book and wallet, tools, correspondence, magazine features and current MoT certificate, this unique car has both performance and provenance that will appeal to any Porsche collector. This important example offers genuine value when compared to the 964 3.6 Turbo.

The line-up for the 1972-73 Porsche 911 range consisted of the entry level ‘T’, the mid-range ‘E’ and the top specification ‘S’. All were fitted with the new 2,341cc engine in various levels of tune. Both the 911E and the 911S had mechanical fuel injection (MFI) giving 165bhp and 190bhp respectively. The transmission was also redesigned to handle the extra power, the dogleg first gear was dropped and this new gearbox was designated, internally, the 915.

1994 JAGUAR XJ220
It was at the 1988 British Motor Show, in Birmingham appropriately, that the sensational Jaguar XJ220 concept prototype was first revealed to the public and, as expected, orders and the required £50,000 deposits flooded in from all corners of the world. The original concept was for a V12 engined car with a six speed gearbox and four-wheel drive priced at just under £300,000 however, some four years later when production commenced, the XJ 220 had become a two wheel drive, twin turbo V6 with a five speed box on offer at £470,000. Predictably many of the 1500 option holders tried to cancel their purchase blaming the massive change in specification but the collapse in values of collectable supercars at the time was probably more of a factor. Eventually the car found 275 buyers and the others don’t know what they missed. Producing an impressive 549bhp at 7,000rpm and 473lb. ft at 4,500rpm and now slightly shorter by some 10 inches courtesy of the smaller dimensions of the V6 engine against the bulky V12, but still with a not inconsiderable girth of six feet and six inches, the XJ220

proved more than capable of reaching its target maximum speed. In 1992 at the Italian Nardo test track Formula One and sportscar ace, Martin Brundle, recorded 212.3mph around the banking in standard trim and 217.1mph with the catalytic converters disconnected, the latter speed equivalent to 223mph on a straight road. With 0-60mph acceleration in a brutal 3.5 seconds, the XJ220 was indisputably the fastest road car on the planet at that time and, thanks to racing developed inboard wishbone suspension and huge ventilated disc brakes with four piston calipers, it held the road beautifully and stopped equally as well. Production of the car began the following year in a purpose-built factory at Bloxham in Oxfordshire with the first cars delivered in July to, amongst other well-known names, Elton John, Baron Hamer of Alford and the Sultan of Brunei. On the circuits, the Jaguar also proved highly effective.

1976 PORSCHE 911 2.7 LUX COUPÉ
Registration: SBR 131P Chassis Number: 9116300350 Engine Number: 6360539 Estimate (£): 25,000 - 28,000
Since its launch in 1963, the Porsche 911 has gone on to be probably the most successful sports car of all time. With an austere beauty and famed reliability the basic design has endured to this day, punctuated with derivatives that have become icons of the marque. The 911 2.4 S was such a model and in October 1973 the 2.7 Coupé was announced sharing the basic body style but with the inclusion of impact bumpers. The 1973 911 represented a change in 911 ethos, with less frantic engines that were far more economical. The 2.7 engine delivered more torque to improve basic drivability with K-Jetronic fuel injection, whilst the body and wheels are wider. From August 1975, Porsche became the first manufacturer to produce hot-dip galvanised bodies, so subsequent cars are a bit more resistant to rust.
This car has been well-maintained and comes with the reassurance of a full engine rebuild done (and documented) by marque specialists AutoFarm only 10,000 miles ago. The receipt for this work and other maintenance / re-commissioning jobs is contained in the history file. This impressive file also contains a service book showing numerous stamps going back to the 1980s, helping to support the mileage of 145,000. Recent work has included fully re-painting the car in a Porsche-correct colour of Platinum Diamond Metallic (944-9-3) and fitting new front discs & pads. The car does shows some desirable patina, but is solid throughout, being a very usable example that is said to drive and perform exceptionally well. It has a MoT until the 1st August 2016.
This car offered here is a UK-supplied, 1976 Porsche 911 2.7 ‘Lux’ coupé (G-model). With its mid-seventies uncluttered styling, its distinctive bumpers, full-length rear reflector and newly designed wing-mirrors, this car has all the classic styling cues from this once over-looked era. It is further enhanced by the very period 15-inch ATS ‘cookie cutter’ alloy wheels.
As 911 values continue to rise, the 1970’s 2.7 coupés and early SC models are now also becoming more appreciated, with this 2.7 being a worthy example.
Better equipped than many of its predecessors, the MY1976 (I-series) 2.7 Lux model included such luxuries as electric windows and a sunroof. With a quoted 163bhp and 176lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 135mph and 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds.

1958 ‘WORKS’ MGA TWIN CAM ROADSTER
MG’A’ Twin Cam PRX 707 was the first ‘Works’ car to be officially entered into an International event, the 1958 Liege-Rome-Liege Rally. Driven by John Gott (later to become the Chief Constable of Northamptonshire and a legendary pedaller of Big Healeys) and navigated by Ray Brookes. The entry attracted a considerable amount of interest in the motoring and indeed, national press, and the brief from MG was to finish at all costs, a feat that was accomplished in style with an incredible 10th overall and 4th in class.
himself experienced a chronic misfire due to a loose distributor that was rectified by the BMC mechanics at a service halt. He went on to finish a very creditable 10th overall in the world ‘debut’ for the MGA Twin Cam beating two of the four BMC Team Austin-Healeys which were the main assault for the Liege that year. Subsequently PRX 707 was prepared and entered for the Tulip Rally in 1959 for John Gott and Chris Tooley but sadly didn’t feature in the results, despite being well placed in the early stages due to an uncharacteristic navigational error.
BMC’s competition department had hoped to enter five MGA Twin Cams for the 1958 Alpine Rally which had a start date of July 7th, however for various reasons the public launch of the Twin Cam was delayed until July 16th creating one or two problems with the homologation process. ‘Comps’, however, lost no time in taking delivery of the first Twin Cams, chassis numbers 524, 528 and 596 and it was 528, a red tourer that would be the first to appear in an event. Registered as PRX 707 it was given a detachable black hardtop and prepared for the Liege-Rome-Liege Rally. They had little time to convert to rally specification and the car was standard apart from a 20-gallon fuel tank, special seats, extra lamps and the appropriate navigational instruments. Additional under-shielding and sump guards were added but it was effectively a token gesture as the car was never expected to dispute the top few places on its maiden outing.
Today PRX 707 presents in lovely condition and is a testament to its four previous enthusiastic owners. The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate from December 1987 lists chassis YD1/528 as being allocated to the Competition Department and finished in Orient Red. Importantly it retains its black factory lightweight aluminium hardtop and original tachometer. Options at the time included a heater, black tonneau cover, oil cooler and competition (deluxe) seats. Previous owners have obviously been fully aware of the importance of this special MGA and the history file contains lots of period items including approximately fifteen motorsport magazine articles describing the life and times of this pretty and very presentable, on the button, factory Twin Cam.
Although titled the Liege-Rome-Liege it went nowhere near Rome and was a tough, four day, non-stop event mainly in the uncivilised interior of Yugoslavia. Starting from Competition No.78, John Gott was always faced with problems passing slower cars on the exceptionally rough and dusty tracks, and his progress wasn’t helped by having to stop and help stranded team-mates, a common courtesy in those days.

1958 ASTON MARTIN DB2/4 MKIII SALOON
The DB 2/4 Mk III (normally known as the Mk III, even at the time of its introduction) was a sports car hand-built and sold by Aston Martin from 1957 through to 1959. It was an evolution of the DB2/4 Mk II and retained the earlier car’s W.O. Bentley-designed, Lagonda 2.9L straight-6 engine, redesigned by Tadek Marek. Changes included a grill similar to the company’s racing DB3S, a new instrument panel, and for the first time ever on an Aston, disc brakes. The hydraulically operated clutch was new as well, and an optional Laycock-de Normanville overdrive, attached to the 4-speed gearbox became standard after the first 100 cars. Worm-and-sector steering and a live axle rear end were also carried forward from previous models. The standard DBA engine model with twin SU carburettors produced 162hp, though an optional dual-exhaust system (a claimed 16 bhp increase) raised this to a reputed 178hp. Thus equipped, the car could reach 60 mph in 9.3 seconds and hit 120 mph. We are delighted to be able to offer this exquisite DB 2/4 MkIII for the first time since it was purchased by the current family custodians over 56 years ago. The first owner was a Mr W. Griffith from Somerset, who owned chassis number AM300/3/1433 until 1960, when he placed an advert in the local newspaper. Mr Marcus Green, a longstanding member of the Aston Martin Owner’s Club, saw the advert and immediately arranged a viewing. A deal was struck and Mr Green bought the car, which is still in his garage today. In 2003, the car was inherited by Mr Green’s son in law, himself a skilled mechanical engineer, who set about restoring the Aston to its former glory.
1 66 RACE R ETR O CLASSIC CA R SH OW SA LE 2 0 1 6
The restoration was a complete body-off nut and bolt rebuild that took place over 2-3 years. A photographic record documents this process and significant time and effort was put into ensuring the shut lines were better than when new. The original engine was rebuilt and the interior trimmed to a high specification. The car today is reading a mere 67,000 miles from new and still presents beautifully with dark blue paintwork that retains an excellent shine. One of the most impressive aspects of this vehicle is the substantial history file that documents a lifetime of ownership. Bills and receipts dating back to the 1960s show that it has been cared for throughout its life and make for a fascinating read. In addition, the complete original tool kit can be found under the bonnet along with the chassis plate and many other original components. A significant part of family history for over 50 years, it is now time for this Aston Martin to find a new keeper who will hopefully preserve it for many future generations to come.

1971 CITROËN SM MASERATI
Begun in 1961, ‘Project S’ emerged from Citroën’s requirement to develop a sports variant of the revolutionary DS. As was customary for the quirky French firm, many running concept vehicles were developed with increasingly complex and upmarket features to differentiate the ‘sports’ project from the popular DS. The acquisition of Maserati by Citroën in 1968 was motivated by the possibility of harnessing Maserati’s high-performance engine technology to produce a true Grand Tourer, combining the sophisticated Citroën suspension with the power of a Maserati V6. The result was the Citroën SM, which was first shown to rapturous appreciation at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970. It went on sale in France in September of that year in left-hand drive only, although right-hand drive conversions were later offered in the UK and Australia. The SM was Citroën’s flagship vehicle, competing with other high-performance GTs of the time from manufacturers such as Jaguar, Lotus, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo and Porsche. It was also Citroën’s way of demonstrating just how much power and performance could be accommodated in a front-wheel drive design. As an example of Citroën’s optimism and progressive technology, the SM was untouchable, and similarities drawn by pundits of the day to the design and futurism of aircraft such as Concorde cemented the love affair still borne by car aficionados today. We are pleased to offer this particular Citroën SM Maserati finished in the original colour of ‘Vert des Tropiques’, with Blue-Grey Jersey trim. This fine example was supplied new in France and features optional air-conditioning and tinted glass.

Having covered a modest total of 48,000 km (or 30,000 miles) from new, this carburetted SM spent some ten years in the hands of its first owner in Rennes, France, before passing, in March 1981 to a local ‘garagiste’. The car was then used very sparingly until being sold in 2009 to its third owner, a Citroën aficionado and collector of some note, who lived in the same village. In his custody, the car was again used sparingly, but regularly, for shows and Citroën events. Upon his acquisition, he immediately commissioned the essential engine works, inevitably required by all SMs, to ensure continued reliability and safe usage. The timing chain work has been carried out, embodying the acknowledged modifications, along with the modified oil pump drive and the replacement of the original sodium filled valves with stainless steel items. Only some 2,500 km has been covered since the execution of this work. The mileage is confirmed by a continuous service history from new, stamped in the original service booklet and supported by a file full of invoices dating back to the early 1970s. Many of these are from the acknowledged and highly respected Citroën SM expert, Jean Blondeau. Recent work has included a new set of tyres and the fitting of a complete stainless steel exhaust system. Also present is the original driver’s handbook and tools. Now ready to start the next chapter of its life, this SM is supplied with a NOVA reference number and an MoT expiring February ‘17, enabling it ready to be registered with the DVLA to obtain a UK V5c and registration. Exceptional low mileage and historied SM’s rarely come to market, making this offering a special prospect for any classic car collector.

Aston Martin had always planned that the DBS of 1967 would be powered by the company’s new V8 engine, first seen in 5-litre form in the works Lola-Aston Martin sports-racing cars. Production problems, however, intervened and the DBS used the 4-litre, twin overhead camshaft, straight six of the concurrently produced DB6. It was not until September 1967, that the DBS V8 was finally announced with production commencing the following April. With its platform chassis and independent suspension - coil spring/wishbone front, de Dion tube rear with Watt linkage and twin radius arms - the fine handling DBS was a perfect home for Tadek Marek’s all-alloy V8. Boasting four overhead camshafts and Bosch electronic fuel injection, the 5,340cc V8 produced an impressive 320bhp at 5,000rpm; the resultant 160mph plus performance was nothing short of sensational in 1970. After David Brown sold Aston Martin in February 1972, the DBS V8 was replaced by the Series II model, now simply called the Aston Martin V8. Gone were the four headlamps and slatted grille and in their place was a black mesh grille flanked by single headlamps. The major mechanical changes were limited to electronic ignition and standard air conditioning. This right-hand drive, UK delivered example was built in January 1973, and is one of just 288 Series II cars hand-crafted at Newport Pagnell. Although not its original colour, the car is now finished in Anthracite Metallic Grey with a Magnolia leather interior and is powered by its original engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The comprehensive history file that accompanies this car contains a host of old MoTs, the earliest of which is dated the 1st May 1983 when the car had covered 29,512 miles. In April 1993, the car was purchased from Richard Appleyard Engineering by a Mr Roger Smith

of Rotherham, at which time the recorded mileage was 37,840 miles. Mr Smith was to keep the car for a further 7 years, having the car maintained by the aforementioned specialist, as well as R.S. Williams and Aston Engineering Ltd. Bills for this period alone total more than £15,000. In 2001, ownership passed to a Mr Paul Murray of Leicestershire who kept this V8 until 2005 when it was purchased by Mario Dominguez of Spain. By now the odometer was reading 53,550 miles and the car was given a thorough health check by Aston Engineering at a cost of £7,500. Work at this time included a full service, brake overhaul, a compression test was carried out, and new electronic ignition and a starter motor were fitted. Mr Dominguez then took the car back to Spain, which is when we believe the speedometer was changed for a kilometre unit. It’s our understanding that the car came back to the UK in 2014/15 and it was reunited with the original registration ‘TGU 235L’ that it bears today. Our vendor purchased the car almost a year ago, but with other Aston Martin projects currently ongoing, this car is now surplus to requirements. The odometer now reads 4,312km which equates to 2,600 miles, giving an unwarranted, but thought to be correct total mileage of 56,000 miles. Supplied with a UK V5c and an MoT until 16th March ‘16, this British muscle car would benefit from a little detailing here and there, but is an eminently usable and attractive car. With its DB predecessors commanding challenging amounts, these V8s are now getting the attention they’ve so richly deserved for many years.

1961 MORRIS MINI COOPER (S)
First introduced in 1959, the Mini is the most famous small car in the world. The inventor, Sir Alec Issigonis, and friend, John Cooper, could both see the potential of the car in competition and their joint vision lead to the Morris Mini Cooper first appearing in 1961. Their development efforts and innovative approach eventually led to the Austin Mini Cooper S appearing in 1963, and they went on to claim worldwide success in both rallying and racing with the versatile and nimble Mini. The Cooper S’s iconic appeal as a sportier version of the Mini was specifically underlined by its success at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967, as well as its appearance in the 1967 British film, ‘The Italian Job’, in which Minis and played a key role in a bank heist. This lovely Mini Cooper, modified to ‘S’ specification, shows just two previous owners on the log book. Interestingly, the car was delivered new in 1961 to Peter Swatman, the managing director of SU Carburetors, a company that had been supplying BMC with carburettors for many years and had been instrumental in helping John Cooper extract 54bhp from the 997cc engine in the first Mini Coopers.

Unfortunately, due to rust and wiring harness problems, the car was re-shelled in 1967. The car was continuously used up until the 1980s when it was retired, residing at the Swatman family home until 2010. It was then that the family chose to have the Mini fully restored over the course of two years to a good standard, documented in the car’s excellent history file which details the work undertaken. It now looks every inch the hot little 1071S from late 1963. In 2013, it was time for a new journey and the car was purchased by our vendor who has continued to enjoy and maintain this lovely evocative Mini Cooper.

Fiat 130 Coupé by Pininfarina. The saloon was launched at the 39th Geneva motor show in March 1969, replacing the previous largest and most exclusive Fiat saloon, the Fiat 2300. It was a thoroughly modern car with four wheel independant suspension ( torsion bars in front and coil springs at rear), standard power steering and four wheel disc brakes and was the first Fiat to adopt an alternator instead of a direct current generator. The coupé, based on the same platform was introduced in March 1971 having been designed by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina, who also manufactured the car. With a unique interior design, it featured a button operated mechanism allowing the driver to open the passenger side door. Production of the saloon ended in 1976 with 15093 produced, the coupé co ntinued until the following year and 4294 were built in total. Using the 128 type A motor as a basis a new crossflow V6 engine with a 60 degree vee angle and rubber toothed belt driven twin overhead camshafts was developed for the model by Aurelio Lampredi. It became known as the 130 type A engine with a capacity of 2866cc and a power output of 140 bhp at 5600 rpm. In 1971 the 130 type B engine was introduced featuring a slightly increased bore (102mm instead of 96mm) displacing 3235cc and producing 165bhp at 5600 rpm. Power was delivered to the rear axle via standard Borg Warner three speed automatic transmission and a 5 speed ZF S5 -18/3 ZF manual was an option. Front suspension was Macpherson-like with torsion bars instead of springs to allow room for the wide V6 and the optional A/c. The

height of the front suspension is adjustable using eccentric cams in the ends of the torsion bars where they are attatched to the body. the rear suspension is independant using conventional springs with good wheel geometry and a limited slip differential. The 130 coupé had ZF power steering and the seats were shaped and designed by Paolo Martin with the collaboration of Giovanni Gottin of Turin. The dashboard was redesigned with sporty round dials using white needles. The example we are pleased to offer here was first registered in July 1978 and it was one of the last models produced. It was Ziebarted from new and has the late addition of the rare plastic arch liners. It also has the similarly rare factory fitted seat covers made in velour which was the same fabric used to cover the seats in Italian luxury trains. The second owner aquired the vehicle on 19/9/1980 and he kept the car in semi storage and only used it sparingly until sold 22 years later when emigrating he sold it to owner number three. At this time the original purchase receipt stated that the mileage was a genuine 14023 miles. The car at this point was fully serviced mechanically at a cost of over £6000. The next owner was Chris Evans the BBC and radio presenter who kept the car for around 12 months before the current vendor purchased the car through Graeme Hunt of Kensington. Since then the car has been fully serviced and has benefitted from having a new clutch fitted, a stainless steel exhaust system added and is in overall excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically.

1991 RANGE ROVER CSK
To mark the huge success and the 20th anniversary of the model, Land Rover launched the limited edition Range Rover CSK named in honour of Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original Range Rover. The CSK was intended primarily to publicise the new anti-roll suspension and was promoted as a sportier Range Rover with only 200 numbered examples produced. This special Range Rover featured a number of modifications improving both performance and passenger comfort and was the fastest production Range Rover ever built at that time, with a chipped version of the 3.9 litre V8 engine developing 185bhp. The increase in performance is complemented by improved handling at high speeds and Land Rover had introduced front and rear anti-roll bars and sports dampers, to give a smoother, more comfortable ride on normal roads. The stunning Beluga Black paintwork is contrasted with chrome bumpers and silver pinstripe coach lines whilst discrete silver CSK logos are positioned on both front wings and one on the lower tailgate. The elegant CSK lettering on the sides of the scuttle panel supposedly represents Spen King’s signature, but his bank probably wouldn’t honour any cheque with this scrawled across it. The great man confessed some years ago that he had to write his initials in three or four different ways before Land Rover stylists found a version they liked.

complements the gleaming Beluga Black paintwork. A programme of works amounting to over £5,000 was undertaken at the same time to ensure this CSK was the best example around. This work included a full rebuild of the engine (machined cylinder block and heads, rebuilt rocker shaft assembly, new camshafts and valve gear etc), and a stainless steel exhaust and manifold. Although showing an odometer reading of a shade over 120,000 miles this car is in superb order, with less than 3,000 miles covered since the works were completed and is the proud possessor of a fresh MoT. The history file boasts a service record with stamps from the first complementary dealer service up until 80,000 miles, numerous service invoices for the miles covered up to the current reading, original CSK books, and a rare period brochure. At this guide price, and in this condition, this CSK offers the very best of both worlds and a rare opportunity to own a car that has Charles Spencer King’s name all over it.

1969 FORD LOTUS CORTINA MARK II EX-FRED BUSHELL
Following on from the enormous success of the Lotus Cortina in the hands of a plethora of star drivers including Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Sir John Whitmore and Frank Gardner, Ford introduced the Lotus Cortina Mark II in 1967. The famous Lotus 1600 twin-cam engine was now developing 109bhp and externally all the cars had a black front grill, steel wheels and Lotus badges on both rear wings and adjacent to 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 fuel tank and radial tyres. This particular Lotus Cortina MKII was purchased by our vendor in June 2015, but business commitments relating to his role as chief executive of a landmark British company meant that it has languished in a private collection, far from the twisty tarmac for which the car is so eminently suitable. During our vendor’s ownership a new stainless steel exhaust, manifold and a water pump have been fitted. Sales information supplied when our vendor purchased the car, states that its first owner was the notable Fred Bushell, who was both the Chairman of Team Lotus and a director of Lotus Cars, and he owned the car until 1986. The Cortina was apparently used by Mrs Bushell as her daily drive, and naturally it was maintained by the Lotus factory.

Cars alive during the industrial decline that heralded the demise of so many British car makers. After Chapman’s death in 1982, it was Fred Bushell who bore the brunt of the British investigation and subsequent trial into the De Lorean-Lotus financial scandal, and according to numerous reports Fred Bushell protected Colin Chapman’s legacy and reputation in the dock. After the Bushell tenure came to an end in 1986, the car was sold to a Mr Utting who confirmed with the factory that the mileage of 36,000 at the time was genuine and matched the factory records.

First shown in 2004, it was built to the most modern specification and utilizing the latest technology to achieve spectacular all round abilities: The V12-engine of 5.7 litres develops an astounding 540 bhp in an absolutely musical testament to the greatness of the V12-layout. All that power is kept in harness by an advanced all-aluminium space frame, only the second Ferrari to feature such a structure. The very high torsional stiffness gave suspension developers the best possibilities to fine tune the advanced suspension, and the 612 was praised for it handling. The power was distributed through either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed paddle shift operated gearbox. Most buyers opted for the paddle shift which offered brilliant control and driveability with the option of a fully automatic mode. Seriously fast progress is very easily achieved and the top speed of 196 mph at the end of the scale is proper

sports car territory and this masterpiece of design does not sacrifice comfort either, making it not only a true grand tourer but in reality, an everyday supercar. Around 3,000 cars were built between 2004 and 2011 and their tremendous abilities have made them sought after driver’s cars. This 2005, left-hand drive example was sold from new in Sweden and was last registered in Denmark. It has clearly been well maintained over its 68.000 kilometers as the Nero bodywork presents itself in beautiful order and so does all the trim, wheels and glass. The 612 was renowned for its beautifully crafted leather interior, and the biscuit colour of this car complements the metallic black perfectly, making for a most discreet and distinguished high-speed tourer. This 612 was always serviced by official Ferrari dealers and is absolutely on the button: Ready to use and enjoy as it stands.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and useable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the ‘Carrera’ name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980’s sport cars.
1986 PORSCHE 911 3.2 CARRERA SPORT
It’s covered 108,122 miles, which is backed up by a comprehensibly stamped service interval book (work done by main dealers and marque specialists) and many old MoT certificates going back to when the car was new. This car has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, in very good condition.
The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque rich 231 bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds.
Only a few years ago (at 98,282 miles) it was fitted with a complete stainless steel exhaust system, including heat exchangers, fittings and gaskets etc.
Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.
In 2014, and approximately only 500 miles ago, the engine was treated to a top-end re-build (receipt in history file). It also had fitted new rear wheel bearings, new rear brakes (including handbrake mechanism) and Goodyear Eagle tyres and the invoice for all of this was around £9,000.
Offered here is an original UK, RHD 911 3.2 Carrera Sport Coupé. Interestingly, it was manufactured in October 1986 (for the 1987 model year), so was one of the first cars to be fitted with the desirable 5-speed G50 gearbox. Correspondingly, there is a series H in the VIN number and the Drivers’ Manual contains a short addendum to cover the 1987 model year.
Our fastidious vendor, who is a classic car enthusiast and competent engineer, informs us that the most recent work carried out involved having both lower B-posts repaired (to deal with some minor corrosion), whilst at the same time, having the rest of the sills and kidney bowls wax-injected using Bill Hamber Dynax products.
It was delivered new to Jersey (via Porsche Cars, Fine Oaks) where it lead a pampered and unstressed life before coming back to the mainland in 1989. It’s finished in the unusual colour of Lagoon Metallic (L35Y), complemented by a full dark tan leather interior and is a standard factory Sport model with Fuchs alloy wheels, front & rear spoilers, electric pack, sports seats and a sunroof.

1990 LISTER JAGUAR XJS
Lister is one of the most important names in British 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 Lister-Jaguars. The famous Lister-Jaguar connection made its commercial reappearance in 1986 when approximately 90 tuned Jaguar XJSs were produced for the road, with the emphasis very much on supercar performance. For those who felt the standard V12 Jaguar engine a little insipid, Lister added a comprehensive tuning package. The fuel injection was modified with 4 additional injectors and throttle bodies and the engine management system was remapped to accommodate. The heads were gas flowed with larger valves, the crankshaft was nitrided and Cosworth conrods carrying special forged pistons were fitted. New bearings and a modified oil system were also deemed necessary in order to reliably deliver the 604bhp that it could now produce. The Le Mans Coupé was capable of over 200 mph with the correct gearing and was the first production car to do so. Clearly the suspension and braking were going to need some attention, and this they duly got. The car was made to look the part too with a dramatic body kit and superb Lister Recaro leather interior.

upgraded to Full 7.0 Litre Le Mans specification. Invoices in the large history file show bills for engine work, a 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 46,139 miles from new. In 2012, a number of recommissioning jobs were completed by David Marks 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 3,000rpm 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.” In late 2015, a program of basic maintenance was completed to keep the car ‘on the button’ and ensure that 600bhp was still available when required. 1980’s and 1990’s exotica, such as Lister’s XJS, have shown bullish rises in value recently as their depreciation curves level off and good examples become harder to source. Finished in stunning XJS Metallic Blue with Parchment blue piped interior and Deep Blue carpets, this car is immaculate and has a massive physical presence just sitting there. This is a seriously quick, powerful, no holds barred sort of a motor car. A bit of a bruiser in a gentleman’s overcoat.
According to the 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

Triumph TRs have always epitomised the essence of true British sports cars of the post-war years, but by the end of the fifties, the TR3 was beginning to look and feel a little ‘rustic’. However in 1960, the TR4, initially codenamed “Zest”, was on the drawing boards of the Triumph Motor Company. Although utilising the chassis and drivetrain from earlier models the final shape of the new car was to emerge from the flowing pen of Giovanni Michelotti. The result was a really goodlooking design that has stood the test of time. The 4(and subsequent 4A), proved very successful and over 40,000 were produced from 1961 to 1965, filling a ‘swinging sixties’ demand for a British sports car that was “hairy-chested in an Italian suit”. This particular car has been the subject of a recent complete rebuild with sprint/hill climb events in mind. Listed as an insurance Cat D in 1991, the TR was rejigged, repaired and returned to the road. At the start of our vendor’s rebuild, the car was again stripped to the bare shell, measured, reinforced and re-welded where necessary, fitted with a rear hoop/cage in T45 tubing, powder coated and Waxoyled. There is a photographic record of all this work in the car’s history file. Lightweight aluminium front and rear wings, bonnet and boot outer skins were fitted to the shiny shell and the car benefits from a twosection Surrey hard top.

slip differential. The car has been superbly finished in BRG with a black interior and the attention to detail is exceptional. It has been prepared for occasional motor sport and has competition seats and all the relevant internal and external cut-outs, fire extinguisher etc. There is a huge amount of detail in the car’s history/restoration file. This rebuild has only recently been completed, the car is MoT’d until December, has only covered 10 miles since, and appears to be ‘on the button’. In the eyes of many, 770 DBO sitting on its silver Minilites, debumpered and in that lovely shade of British Racing Green, may well be the ultimate TR4.
The engine was rebuilt by the vendor to a spec provided by Barry Hodson Racing and TR Enterprises and breathes through twin 45 DCOEs with the sparks provided by a Lucas Sports Coil, a 123 Programmable Distributor and Magnecor Leads. The engine was popped on a dyno before being returned to the car and the print-outs indicate about 170bhp at the flywheel. This output is channeled through a rebuilt Stag gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th, and finally through a limited-

1972 PORSCHE 911 2.7RS REPLICA
The 1970s represented a truly ‘rich vein’ of Motorsport success for Porsche, regulation changes to ‘level the playing field’ only tested their resolve and ingenuity. The Porsche 917 was rendered obsolete by late 1972, with rule changes to the World Sportscar Championship now geared for prototypes. Without sufficient time to respond and complete a build program, Porsche switched their attention to the European GT Championship, developing still further the successfull 2.7 RS. If ever there was justice, it prevailed in early 1973 when a Porsche 2.8 RSR, virtually ‘out of the box’, won the 24hrs of Daytona - a field littered with Prototypes. Unsurprisingly, it totally dominated European GTs (considering its 911 underpinnings, a remarkable achievement). The 911 RSR derivatives would remain a ‘nemesis’ to manufacturers for a decade. Porsche entries won all of the ‘blue ribbon’ events - Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, etc. with regularity. Offered here is a 1972 Porsche 911 2.7 RS replica based on a German market, Porsche 911E 2.4 delivered new by Reinhardt OHG of Ratingen. Allegedly, its first owner was an American serviceman who specified various options to his Light Yellow 911E. The Letter of Authenticity lists sports seats, roll bars and black Porsche side decals. Today this 911 presents as, every inch, a completely rebuilt RS to Lightweight specification with GRP wings, bumpers, bonnet and interior seats with

competition belts. The engine is modified along with the suspension and a rebuilt limited slip differential. The wheels are 8x15 rears and 7x15 Fuchs fronts. This recreation was the pet project of a renowned Porsche specialist, who intended the car for fast road use and occasional competition. The history file contains bills from various suppliers, but importantly a series of invoices from marque specialists, Francis Tuthill Ltd. The invoices run from 2009 to 2011 and catalogue expenditure on the engine and gearbox, with the emphasis on reliability. The work amounted to circa £15,000 and this is evident in the way the RS drives today. Lots of further detail abouts this cars full specification can be found in the file. It’s MoT’d until October 2016. The 1973 RSL and RSRs just get better looking and more desirable as the years go by, and with that superb marriage of form and function, I can’t imagine they will ever look out of date. This is a pretty, fast and well-sorted evocation of a ‘73 RSL and with the originals being offered at up to 10 times our guide price here, it’s worthy of serious consideration.

Since the prototype was unveiled in 1963, the Porsche 911 has gone on to become perhaps, the most famous sports car of all time. A classically Germanic blend of engineering excellence and austerely beautiful design it remains to this day in real terms, the only supercar that can be reliably used on a daily basis. Porsche produced the 911E from 1969 until 1973, and it was designed to be the more comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting in between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). The designation ‘E’ came from the German for injection: “Einspritzung” and this referred to the pioneering mechanical fuel injection system (MFI) used on the 911E and the 911S and developed jointly between Bosch and Porsche. The benefits were more power and better driveability with a cleaner running engine. Porsche also conceded that a few more comfort features would be welcomed and the braking system was also improved to deal with the improved performance. Most manufacturers struggle with torsional rigidity when trying to convert their coupés into convertibles (the other way around is often easier), and Porsche were no exception in the early sixties when trying to let the breeze into their new 901 (later 911). The solution was to build the car with a roll hoop as part of the chassis and when this was streamlined and cosmetically enhanced it worked well, and the result was an attractive “half-convertible” that was stiff and handled predictably. At a marketing meeting to decide a name for this new concept, Cologne dealer Walter Franz threw “Targa” into the hat conjuring up images of their success with an open-top car

in the hard-fought Targa Florio under a glorious Sicilian Sun. Whilst considering this possibility, someone pointed out to Harald Wagner, the marketing director that “targa” was Italian for “shield” and signified strength and safety, which obviously appealed to the Teutonic sense of responsibility, and so the name was adopted and is still in use today.
Originally manufactured in April 1972, this left-hand drive 911E Targa spent most of its life in America before being imported to Denmark in 2007. Specified in Gemini Blue Metallic with Black Leather and Leathercloth, it was also optioned with the ‘470 Comfort’ spec which includes 911S instruments, leather-covered steering wheel, aluminium sill plates and rocker covers. The car was also ordered with Sports Seats, 6x15 Fuchs Alloys, Wheelarch Trims, rear Aluminium Trim and rear Fog Lights. At some point in recent years, this gleaming 911 has obviously been restored and repainted in its original colour of Gemini Blue and further information on this will be available soon, however, from photographs this appears to be a very, very smart Porsche. We do have some invoices for a recent (Nov.2015) engine rebuild by Schonemann Cars totalling around £14,000, and one look at this car’s engine compartment and you can see that no expense has been spared. The car is currently Danish registered and will definitely reward your inspection.

1970 LOTUS CORTINA MKII
Following on from the enormous success of the Lotus Cortina, Ford introduced the MkII in 1967 with the famous Lotus 1600, ‘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 adjacent to the 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 fuel tank and radial tyres. Built in 1970, this particular example benefits from being well maintained and very much enjoyed throughout its life and with this in mind, it’s has been tastefully and thoughtfully upgraded over time with the emphasis on enhancing its driveability.

time the engine was fitted with forged pistons, a balanced flywheel and higher rise cams. All these subtle improvements raise the power output slightly and create a more spritely driving experience. The car was fitted with a five-speed gearbox early in its life with all the benefits to acceleration, cruising speeds and petrol consumption that brings. Further upgrades have been undertaken to the suspension with the fitment of ‘coil-overs’ which greatly improve the handling of the car. Values of Mk.1 Lotus Cortinas tend to be linked to their originality, but with the later Mk.2s it has become common practice to upgrade the engine, brakes and handling and these factors do not detract at all from the values. In all this is a great useable classic for someone who wants to use his car in the way that Lotus intended.
The car is fitted with a type 711M engine block which, whilst not an original Lotus Cortina designated part, was a common replacement in period during an engine rebuild as it was comparatively easy to do and the original blocks had a reputation for fragility. At the same

2. Agent SAL sells as agent for the Seller (except where SAL is selling as principal, which SAL will disclose in the Catalogue or otherwise in the Auction). The Contract for the sale of a Lot is between the Seller and the Buyer. SAL shall not be liable for any act or default by the Seller (except where selling as principal) or the Buyer. 3. Discretion 3.1 SAL has the right as its sole discretion to refuse any bid, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot and, in the case of dispute, to put any Lot up for Auction again. 3.2 If SAL is notified about the Seller’s alleged breach of any of the Terms before it has remitted the Sale Proceeds to the Seller, it may at its sole discretion withhold payment until that dispute is resolved. SAL may, however, deduct any sums that are due to it from the sum held. 4. Loss or injury SAL shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on SAL’s premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury, damage or loss caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by SAL, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to SAL. 5. Lots 5.1 The Catalogue contains details about each Lot. The description printed in the Catalogue is given on behalf of the Seller, and may contain SAL’s opinion about the Lot, but in any event is not a contractual representation or warranty by SAL. 5.2 Photographs, Illustrations and diagrams contained in the Catalogue are for identification purposes only. They may not show the true condition and colour, (which may be inaccurately reproduced) of the Lot. 5.3 Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for any potential bidder to satisfy themselves as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its authorship, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). 5.4 Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer. Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. 5.5 The actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as its outward appearance suggests. In particular parts may have been replaced or renewed and those parts may not be authentic or of ‘Merchantable Quality’. The inside of a lot may not be visible where, for example, it is covered by upholstery or material, and may not be original or may be damaged, have been damaged or poorly repaired. Given the age of some Lots, no assumption should be made with regard to any aspect of their condition. 5.6 Any person who physically interferes with, scratches or damages the Lot in any way (at, before or after the Auction) will be held liable for the loss so caused. 5.7 The Seller is responsible for delivering the Lot in a presentable and saleable condition. If additional cleaning is required it will be charged for by SAL to the Seller as an Expense. 5.8 If a Lot is not sold at Auction, SAL will for the next 14 days be entitled exclusively to negotiate a sale of the Lot on terms agreed with the Seller and as Seller’s agent, and if successful will be entitled to charge the Seller’s Commission and Expenses. 5.9.1 The Seller gives SAL the full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot placed in its hand for sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations as are provided by the Seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Auction), with indemnity against copyright infringement. 5.9.2 The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of SAL, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, may only do so with the prior written consent of SAL. 6. Alterations and Estimates 6.1 Estimates and descriptions may be amended at SAL’s discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during an Auction. 6.2 The Lot is available for inspection and any potential bidder must form their own opinion in relation to it.

Any estimate given, whether written or
www.s i l ve rsto ne a ucti o ns.c om
7. Warranty by the Seller 7.1 The Seller warrants to the Buyer and to SAL that: 7.1.1 The Seller is the owner of the Lot or is properly authorised to sell the Lot by the owner, and is able to sell the Lot with full title guarantee free from all encumbrances and third party claims and in particular that there is no outstanding finance affecting the Lot. If the car is subject to finance the amount outstanding must be confirmed prior to consignment and sale. 7.1.2 The description of the Lot in the Catalogue is to the best of the Seller’s knowledge accurate and not misleading. The Seller has notified (or will before the Auction notify) SAL in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition or quality of the Lot and has provided SAL with all such information in the Seller’s possession or control. 7.1.3 If the Lot is a road going Motor Vehicle, it may lawfully be used on the public road and complies with all statutory provisions and that there is in force a test certificate required by law in relation to such use; OR ALTERNATIVELY the Seller has notified SAL in writing that the Motor Vehicle may not lawfully be used on the public road. 7.1.4 The Seller shall compensate SAL and the Buyer in full for all losses, expenses and other costs which are caused by the Seller’s breach of any obligation of the Seller under the Terms. 7.1.5 Where the vehicle is not registered in the UK, the seller shall be responsible for completing the NOVA application within 14 days or the car arriving in the UK and before the vehicle arrives at the auction for sale. 8. Vehicle Registration Numbers 8.1 If the Seller wishes to sell the Motor Vehicle but to retain the right to the registration number of the Motor Vehicle it is the Seller’s Responsibility to notify SAL in writing. 8.2 It shall be the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current vehicle registration number is retained and that a new number is allocated prior to the Motor Vehicle being sold at the Auction. 9. Bidding and Reserves 9.1 Admission to the Auction requires the purchase of a Catalogue which must be presented at the entrance to the Auction. SAL do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and submitted a registration form. Proof of identification will be required in the form of a passport or driver’s licence, together with a recent utility bill showing your current address, before the registration process can be completed. 9.2 The Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller, up to the Reserve on the Lot. 9.3 The Seller may place a Reserve on any Lot when he consigns it to the Auction, and once placed it may not be changed without the written consent of SAL. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by SAL in writing. 9.4 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only SAL at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller. 9.5 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, SAL shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue. 9.6 SAL may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that SAL accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve. 10. Commission and Expenses 10.1 SAL shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 5% of the Hammer Price for vehicles and 15% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by SAL in writing (“Seller’s Commission”) plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to SAL. 10.2 The Seller acknowledges SAL’s right to retain the Buyer’s Premium payable by the Buyer.

11. Insurance 11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer. However, the risk in the Lot passes to the Buyer on the fall of the hammer. It is therefore, the responsibility of the Seller to insure the Lot before the hammer falls and the responsibility of the Buyer to insure the Lot after the hammer falls. 11.2 SAL will not be responsible for any damage to or the loss or destruction of a Lot unless caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by SAL, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to SAL and the Seller shall compensate SAL in full in respect of all other claims and proceedings brought against SAL in respect of any loss or damage to or destruction of the Lot. 11.3 SAL will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot or by the Seller’s negligence of SAL, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to SAL. The Seller shall compensate SAL in full in respect of all claims and proceedings brought against SAL in respect of injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot or by the Seller’s negligence or breach of any obligation under the Terms.
