Silverstone Auctions is set to offer one of Europe’s finest collections of road going classic cars to come to market, at The Salon Privé Sale on September 4th in London. Henry Pearman, the founder and CEO of Eagle - the world’s premier Jaguar E-Type specialist - has overseen the creation of this unique collection of high quality and original cars, known as the Stradale Collection, applying the same energy, passion and attention to detail as Eagle is world renowned for. The star of the historic road car collection is considered to be one of the all-time ‘ultimate’ Ferraris - a very rare 1971 Ferrari 365GTS/4 Daytona Spyder. The car, one of just 122 ever produced, was delivered new in 1971 to US casino owner William F. Harrah and has covered just 3,955 miles from new. As a testament to its supreme original state, the car was granted Ferrari Classiche certification in 2009 and is presented in black with red leather interior. Other iconic Italian models include one of just 349 Ferrari F50s to be built, this example with just 6,219 miles recorded and its predecessor, the iconic F40, with only 10,738 miles driven and in exemplary order. An example of the original supercar, and regarded by many as the best, is an exceptionally original but mechanically fresh 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 presented in its original striking yellow which will also be going under the hammer.

Some special British models also feature, most notably a 1931 Bentley 4½ Litre Blower. Regarded as one of the most charismatic cars of all time, this example is number 25, the final car in the first batch of just 50 produced. This impressive Bentley enjoyed a trouble-free 3,000km run in the inaugural Blower Bentley International Rally in 2010, which celebrated the cars 80th anniversary at Le Mans.
the ex-works and 2004 Le Mans winner, to join the growing number of competition cars within the collection.” The first car for the collection was acquired in 2000 and over the last 14 years has evolved to include some incredibly famous road and race cars, with 14 thoughtfully grouped road-going cars presented to go under the hammer at Syon House.
Also within the British models is probably the most famous convertible Aston Martin of all, a sister car to HRH Prince Charles’s DB6 Mk.II Volante, the model immortalised by Prince William and Kate at the Royal Wedding. One of only 38 ever produced, and just 17 to feature the preferred manual gearbox, this is estimated at £820,000 - £920,000.
On behalf of Silverstone Auctions, sales manager, Paul Campbell, said: “I am delighted that we will be bringing one of the country’s most important classic car collections to auction. The ‘Stradale’ Collection includes a series of iconic cars from the Daytona Spyder to the F50 and F40. Collectively they are undoubtedly some of the most desirable cars to come to market in recent years and The Salon Privé Sale is the perfect venue at which to sell them.”
Commenting on the Stradale Collection, Henry said: “Having chosen Salon Privé to launch our Eagle E-Type Speedster to the world back in 2009, as well as to celebrate the E-Type’s 50th anniversary in 2011, we knew the new joint venture between the UK’s finest concours event and Silverstone Auctions was the perfect opportunity to release some of the very best road cars from the collection.” “It is truly a living collection, so is subject to change from time to time, and we’ve been exceptionally fortunate to have recently acquired arguably the very best Audi R8 -

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 ‘S’. Power from the 2.4 fuel injected unit had now reached 190bhp, giving a wonderful freerevving engine resulting in 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 144mph. The 915 5-speed gearbox completed the package. Steve McQueen helped to immortalise the 911 ‘S’ in a reflective moment at the Sarthe in the film “Le Mans”. Offered here is a very rare Porsche 911 2.4 S Targa. It is thought AFN UK only imported two in this configuration in 1973 and it is also thought that of around just 18 RHD 911S Targas imported in total, just 9 cars remain in the UK - making it possibly the rarest early 911 of them all. The iconic 2.7 RS produced alongside now commands well in excess of £500,000 - with around 100 RHD cars

produced, but the 2.4 S had just 20 bhp less and a sweeter, higher revving engine, making this model the absolute ultimate open 911 motoring in it’s purest form, accompanied by the ultimate soundtrack - the RS only being offered as a coupé. The property of just four owners from new, it is a very genuine 911S with matching numbers and is finished in the best colour combination, black with black. The mileage is just 89,000 miles and it is a completely standard car with the exception of RS door cards with desirable lightweight pull handles. It comes complete with factory steering wheel and Fuchs road wheels. A comprehensive restoration was completed about eight years ago and the history file contains a full record of the procedure. The early Seventies 911 range has always been a benchmark and barometer to classic car values, especially the ‘S’ variants. Exceptional Coupés have reputedly now just nudged the £200,000 barrier which as history suggests speaks volumes for the longevity of a Porsche Targa investment. With Porsche remanufacturing the Targa in their modern 911 range and this car boasting a colour combination that will endure it makes it a must for any collection or driver alike.

The DB6 Mk II was launched in July 1969 and by that time 1,327 DB6’s had been produced, making it by far the highest volume model manufactured by Aston Martin. Mechanically, the DB6 Mk II was little changed from its predecessor, however, power steering now came as standard and the clutch plate was changed to a larger version. Additional changes included a new option of a Brico electronic fuel injection system. Claimed to have been developed over 7 years, 46 cars were built using this system all with chassis prefix DB6Mk2FI. Cosmetically, wider DBS style wheels and Avon tyres were incorporated and to accept these new tyres distinctive flared wheel arches were added to Mk II bodies. Interior design was also modelled on the DBS cabin and they were the last interiors designed by William Towns, who left Aston Martin in 1968. Production of the DB6 Mk II was phased out after only 240 saloons, 71 with Vantage power, were manufactured. However, just 38 Mk.II Volantes and only 17 with manual gearboxes ever left the factory which is why they’re regarded as extremely rare and collectable in Aston Martin circles. With a high level of specification including power hood, power steering and more supportive seats, they are also an easy and very comfortable car to drive in comparison with the equally rare Short Chassis Volantes. A factory build sheet confirms that chassis number VC/3776/R was first registered on 13th May 1970 to H.R. Owen Limited of Old Brompton Road, London. It was purchased in 1975 by Maloney and Rhodes who sold the car to a Mr Gray of Cambridge. In October 1980 Mr Gray sold the DB6 to an enthusiast wellknown in Aston Martin circles, Michael Hedley-White.

He owned and maintained the car for 11 years and sent his cherished car to be restored by Aston Martin Works in 1981, having now covered some 76,000 miles since new - where a new speedo fitted post-restoration. The sills and body were completely stripped and rebuilt, a new hood supplied and the engine rebuilt. All bills and receipts can be found in the history file along with correspondence between Mr Hedley-White and the factory. In total, a little more than £20,000 was spent on this restoration, which is a huge sum of money when you consider that at that time a DB4 GT regularly changed hands for around £12,000. In 1991 the car was sold to Peter Jackson of Tonbridge and then again, via Paradise Garage, in November 1993. John Barnard, the famous Formula One designer, purchased the Aston Martin from them. John was credited with the introduction of carbon fibre composite chassis and the McLarens he designed took 31 wins with his time at the team from 1980 to 1986. He then joined the Ferrari F1 team for 1987 and pioneered the semi-automatic gearbox. A spell at Benetton for 199092 saw Barnard bring them race winning chassis and he was persuaded back to Ferrari in mid 1993 - naming his own terms and seemingly rewarding himself with the Volante at this very time. John was to keep his beloved Aston Martin for the next 16 years. Acquired directly from John by the ‘Stradale’ Collection some five years ago, it was felt that this model epitomised the very best of Aston Martin engineering from its era. As if to confirm the quality of chassis number VC/3776/R, a letter from Aston Martin Works dated 9th October, 1991 to Mr Jackson states: “We are delighted to know that quite one of the very best MK II

Volantes has found such a good new home”. The history file also boasts an extensive correspondence section between owners and the factory, which further supports the service and MoT records that detail the total and mileage of 36,345 miles covered since the 1981 factory rebuild. Finished then in Tourmaline Blue with completely original black leather interior, this Mk II Volante has been treasured

by its five former keepers and unusually, has a detailed and documented history spanning most of its life. Very few Aston Martin’s boast such exceptional provenance, exclusivity and early factory maintenance.

Built to mark Ferrari’s 40th anniversary the aptly titled F40 is arguably the ultimate poster car of all. With a nose low enough to trip up passers-by and a spoiler tall enough for them to lean an arm on, it appeared to have been designed by a teenage relative of Pininfarina and not the master coachbuilder himself. But one should remember that this true celebration of Ferrari’s first 40 years was a stunning modern statement that was conceived, approved and had the direct involvement of the great Enzo Ferrari himself - the final car before his passing - what an accolade! But while the image was perhaps something adolescent, the technology was far more serious than many people understood. The F40 was the first production car to employ the extensive use of composite materials in the body panels; ideology learned from the emerging carbon fibre technologies in Formula One. Under the enormous rear clamshell sat a mid-mounted 3-litre V8, with added boost provided by two IHI watercooled turbos. The 478bhp was fed to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox and 0-60mph could be achieved on just 4.1 seconds. At its 1987 launch the F40 was the fastest production car in the world, in fact the first car to genuinely top 200 mph, to outshine all of it’s natural rivals, including the Porsche 959. Quite understandably demand for the supercar of the moment was overwhelming and Ferrari’s coy attitude to releasing production information only intensified the hype. Once the production line began moving, and second-hand examples made their way to market, cars could trade hands for anything up to £1,000,000

each. Demand was ultimately satisfied after five years of production and 1311 F40s has been delivered. All of them were left hand drive, save for a handful of specially ordered cars for the Sultan of Brunei. Today, it is still considered possibly the finest and most focused pure driver’s Ferrari of them all. This Ferrari F40 was delivered new to Italy in 1991 and resided there in very pampered conditions until 2012, covering fewer than 11,000 miles. Having been well maintained and treated to highly sympathetic usage, this F40 remains in the most exceptional original condition apart from the bonetingling sports exhaust. The Rosso paintwork, matching interior trim and carbon fibre are all in the terrific order to be expected for such a low mileage car. It is a later ‘Cat’ model, but without the adjustable suspension - to many the ideal specification. The glass windows and air conditioning result in this being a surprisingly comfortable and civilised car, whilst offering true exhilaration when put to the test. The late 1980s and early 1990s was an era in which interest for supercars was at an enthralling level and the F40 is that period’s undisputed icon. For enthusiasts who grew up with it and for admirers who can only look back retrospectively, the F40 will always be their all-time favourite Ferrari and one on a par with the 250 GTO. As already mentioned, the iconic F40 was famously the last car ‘signed off’ by Enzo himself and for that reason many enthusiasts consider it will always be the definitive example of the ‘Supercar’.

If it’s true that the Il Commendatore Enzo Ferrari only built road cars to fund his infamously expensive Corse department, then the Ferrari F50 promised to be the ultimate ‘thank-you’ to the road-car chaps for all of their hard work. After all, it was arguably the coffers made from selling 308s and 512s that paid for Alain Prost to win six 1990 Grands Prix in his 641 F1. Such was the success of the 641, the elite Ferrari clientele put pressure on the Italian outfit to produce a road-car with that Prost-like vigour. Out of this demand and, as Luca de Montezemolo put it, “fifty years of racing, fifty years of winning, fifty years of hard work”: the F50 was born. With those striking Pininfarina looks, penned in the pursuit of aerodynamic performance, it certainly left an impression. The F50’s body, flat under tray and those colossal twin venturis together produce 440kg of downforce. Highly impressive were the all-carbon fibre body and monocoque chassis, which aided the F50’s extraordinary handling and respectably low kerb weight of 1230kg. Under that body, though, is what really mattered. With the brief of the F50 being about purity, the V12 engine from Prost’s 641 was chosen as the place to start. Bored out from 3500cc to 4968cc and with a reduced rev-limit from 13500 to 8000rpm the V12 produced a monstrous 513bhp. The same powerplant used to homologate the Ferrari 333 SP which won both the Daytona 24Hrs and Sebring 12Hrs and also ran at Le Mans. Not satisfied with producing an engine that was only powerful, the masters at Maranello made the 4.7L V12

a stressed member of the car by bolting it directly to the bulkhead of the state-of-the-art F1-style full carbon body tub and then using the six-speed manual gearbox to carry the rear suspension. The suspension itself uses front and rear wishbones, with the rear coil springs being almost horizontal. The ECU had been given the turn-of-the-century treatment too and could electronically balance the dampers during corners in 25 milliseconds. In contemporary road tests, journalists and racing drivers alike couldn’t think of another car that held the road like it. The result of a wind-tunnel design and Grand Prix grunt was a car that humbled the 641 F1 car; believable when one considers the F50’s 0-60mph time of 3.7 seconds and top speed of 202mph. The car offered here today was delivered new to Germany in 1997 and sold to its first owner in September of the same year. The correct and original specification of Rosso Corsa DS322 paintwork with black hide and red cloth large seats interior remains, and still gleams to this day. This is in no small part due to the meticulous care this car has no doubt received, and the sub 6,300 miles recorded is totally commensurate with the ‘as new’ condition, having just returned to these shores from a significant collection in Japan. Perhaps most remarkable to this cataloguer was how such a powerful and competitively natured car could be so gentlemanly. Positively docile in traffic and when manoeuvring, any concerns I may have harboured about having to wrestle the car into submission were

quickly nullified by the rock-steady feel and surprisingly simple driving experience. That said, i hardly tested her in the small lanes surrounding the collection where she resides. More practical than you might expect, the F50’s party-trick is to perfectly balance both Coupe and Roadster form with the addition or removal of the bolt-on roof which stores neatly into a bespoke roof-box for opentop driving and less interference of the spine-tingling exhaust note. Sensible consideration such as the addition of a ride height adjuster to tackle speed bumps was standard on the F50 helping to ensure the car is suited to modern traffic. The 349th and last example of the benchmark F50 left Maranello on 30th July 1997 to mark Ferrari’s half centenary. Joining the Ferrari dynasty is never easy but the F50’s pure performance, rarity and brief-fitting concentration make it epically capable and a Ferrari we rate very generously indeed. Built in far fewer numbers then the headline-grabbing F40, this is certainly a car to watch for the future - especially as it shares the same parallels of spine tingling big capacity V12 engine, mated to an all-carbon chassis tub and six-speed totally manual gearbox as its contemporary - the McLaren F1 - but it is a Ferrari and the ONLY open example of their immortal ‘F’ cars. † Interested parties should note that VAT and relevant import duty at the prevailing rate is applicable to the purchase price of this vehicle if it remains in the EU. If purchased by a private individual in the UK there is only VAT to pay at the current rate and a £50 fee.

Two years after Lamborghini debuted the mid-engined Miura in 1966, Ferrari launched its defiantly traditional and determinedly contrasting alternative, the 365 GTB/4. Almost immediately the 365 GTB/4 gained its ‘Daytona’ moniker from Ferrari’s 1-2-3 result in the 1967 24-hour race of the same name. The Daytona’s engine and handling certainly didn’t undermine its racing nomenclature. The 4.4-litre 4-cam V12 produced an astonishing 352bhp and, despite the 1,633kg bulk, the Daytona was billed as the fastest road car in the world. Not only was 174mph more than brisk, but, crucially, it was faster than the Miura. The 5-speed gearbox was mounted at the rear for a more optimal weight distribution and helped give the Daytona its predictable handling and solid road-holding. Like so many Ferraris of the period, the Daytona’s beautiful bodywork was designed by Pininfarina with the car built by Scaglietti. The delicate front was cleanly cut with both pop-up and Plexiglas headlight varieties. The rear slope was suggestively rakish and a Kamm tail provided further clues as to the performance of the car. The wheel arch flares, although elegant in proportion, are the only real overt notion that this car has significant pace. Registered new to the United Kingdom in June 1973, ‘RPH 174L’ was ordered through Maranello Concessionaires by a Mr F.W. Kerridge, but in the end bought by Phil Scragg CBE, a very well known connoisseur of the very best cars of the time, in part exchange for his 246GT Dino. In 1980, this car then passed to a Mr Alan Morello before becoming a part of the well-known and extensive Patrick Collection Museum in 1983.

Without doubt one of the most original still in existence, this Daytona is presented with matching numbers and in original Rosso Chiaro paint over black upholstery. In an excellent unrestored condition throughout, the car has only covered 16,341 miles from new, fully backed up with an extensive range of MOT certificates. It’s so deeply original it even retains the plastic protection covering on the passenger door-sill. A 1989 MOT certificate shows that the Daytona had covered fewer than 800 miles since 1983, with just over 3,000 recorded in the last 25 years. Two years later in mid-1991, the Daytona was purchased by Mr David Myers, before it was sold through marque specialists MHT to Mr Michael Cheeseman in 1995. MHT continued to professionally store and care for RPH 174L for around ten years, preserving this Daytona’s important originality. In its current ownership this cherished Ferrari has continued to enjoy a privileged existence, residing in yet another of the UK’s foremost collections of historic road and competition cars. Accompanying the Daytona is an impressive history file, which includes the original 1973 bill of sale and owner’s handbook. A host of MOT certificates, invoices for specialist maintenance and correspondence authenticate this car’s originality, and provide an unbroken chain of history for this important Ferrari. The original tool kit still looks brand new when unrolled. This handsome example, oozing with charm is one of approximately 158 factory right-hand drive 365GTB/4s and therefore represents an exciting and rare opportunity to own what is arguably one of the best kept and significant Daytonas known to the market.

Designed by Pininfarina, built by Scaglietti, engineered by Ferrari. Three ingredients that make the Daytona Spyder one of the most sought after Ferrari road cars of all time.
Club circles for its various Concours appearances and features in numerous publications. The Spyder remained original under Frost’s ownership, save for a ‘like-for-like’ repaint.
The prototype was premiered at the 1969 Frankfurt Motor Show, exhibiting Plexiglas headlights and slight angulations to the body - features lost on the 121 other production models. Pop-up headlights were brought into comply with the regulations of the USA, the Spyder’s largest export destination. Sharing a 4.4-litre V12 with its Berlinetta namesake, the Daytona Spyder made 170mph motoring all the more exciting with the roof down. It is a rare car, not only because of its low volume production, but also because it has never had any real contemporary.
14543 was sold to its third owner in 2008 after Dr. Frost’s passing and a sympathetic recommission returned the Spyder to full roadworthiness, replacing as few original pieces as possible. By this time the odometer read approximately 3,700 miles and even the factoryfitted Michelin XWX tyres remained. Given its supreme original state the Daytona was granted Ferrari Classiche certification in 2009. Recently it was decided that this car was the perfect basis for a Concours-grade refinish and has now been completed in the most desirable colours of black coachwork with fresh red leather by Luppi. In combination with this now flawless condition, the Spyder has still only covered 3,946 original and accounted-for miles.
The story is similar today and a genuine Daytona Spyder enjoys a unique following and ever-gaining appreciation. It is, without question, one of the ultimate and the last ‘proper’ open Ferrari from the Enzo era. Ordered in the late summer of 1971, the Ferrari Daytona Spyder offered here was delivered new to the casino owner and car collector William F. Harrah. This example, chassis 14543, was one of the cars in Harrah’s personal fleet and would have been quite a spectacle on the roads of Nevada. Harrah sold the Spyder to Dr. Jack Frost, another enthusiastic collector, in 1976 with just 2,509 miles on the odometer. ‘14543’ joined Frost’s 50-strong collection, housed in a climate-controlled warehouse, where it resided for 31 years. In that time the Spyder saw minimal usage but was well-known in Ferrari

As arguably the finest Daytona Spyder on the open market and one of just 122 ever built, this is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire one of the most collectable Ferraris ever made. Completing the package is a history file documenting this truly remarkable low owner, low mileage and low production Daytona Spyder. Only after considerable persuasion by ourselves has the ‘Stradale’ Collection considered releasing this car at today’s guide price. Those who track indices such as HAGI will very quickly identify the trend that these cars have travelled in value. It’s not such a stretch to see a rare and true benchmark Ferrari such as this top $5million dollars soon, should history repeat itself...

2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina
The natural successor to the immortal Ferrari Daytona Spyder wowed the crowds upon introduction at the Paris Motor show in 2000. The Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was a true roadster borne deep in the Ferrari vein. With no real soft-top to speak of, the car was sold with a temporary-use rain shield but caution was instructed against exceeding 70mph with the hood on. Just 448 Barchettas were produced, four more than initially planned due to concerns of superstition in the Japanese market.

This is the second of just 42 righthand drive examples built for the UK and was delivered new to historic motorsport competitor and renowned performance car enthusiast, Mr Grahame Bryant of Marlow, Buckinghamshire. This Ferrari was the sole UK example supplied in the stunning colour combination of Tour de France Blue with Bordeaux interior and included is the original roof, a special order full tonneau cover and as new fitted luggage. The car features carbon racing seats as standard in all Barchettas, along with carbon
The Ferrari 550 remains one of the most evocative driving experiences, with a fantastic V12 soundtrack that is so much stronger in an open car. Undoubtedly it will continue to be appreciated as an ultra-desirable benchmark sportscar with cult status already confirmed from those that appreciate the modern Ferrari. Already assured true classic status and looking an absolute bargain in the current market when compared to Ferrari’s other low volume open 2 seater V12 models.

Launched at the Turin Auto Show in 1971, the 365 GT4 BB was aimed squarely at the customers of Lamborghini’s Miura and Maserati’s Bora. Infamously against anything other than front-engined cars for both the road and track, Enzo Ferrari had finally awoken to the midengined revolution and was keen to make up for lost time. The 365 BB was pitched squarely at the Miura at its Turin debut, however the Ferrari would spend its career battling the Miura’s unexpected sequel, the Countach. Although striking, Bertone’s Countach design ignored necessary practicalities making the more forgiving and mature BB the easier choice. The Pininfarina-penned and Scaglietti-built 365 BB however managed to combine the now classic 1970s wedge-shaped exotica yet still be a usable supercar. Equally impressive was the Formula One inspired flat12 boxer engine, which was shallow enough to house the gearbox underneath the block, while maintaining a low centre of gravity. This orientation allowed for a short wheelbase and overall a smaller, more nimble car.

Contemporary road tests praised the 365 BB as being the fastest Ferrari yet, high praise indeed for a car the boss was initially reluctant to engineer. Despite the great press, Enzo was also reluctant to officially export the car to North America, thinking the market would fail to understand it and that regulations would dampen the 365 BB’s spritely nature. Therefore, just 387 of these now-reverred models were built over a threeyear period between 1973 and 1976. Succeeded by the heavier, less powerful and more abundant 512 BB, the 365 BB remains the connoisseur’s choice of Ferrari Boxer with recent price expectation in the retail arena seemingly confirming this fact. This particular righthand drive Ferrari 365 is one of approximately just 58 supplied to the UK and presented in the quintessential Rosso Corsa and black two-tone paint with black upholstery. Since it left the Maranello factory in 1974 it has covered just 25,077 miles. Perhaps what’s most extraordinary about this is simply how few it has travelled given how remarkable each mile would have been behind the wheel of Ferrari’s first 12 cylinder mid-engined production car. A large history file fully documents the ownership history and contains a vast amount of expert maintenance invoices. Having been in the ownership of the ‘Stradale’ Collection for a number of years, this Boxer has formed part of one of Britain’s greatest private collections alongside many other rare competition and road cars. In exemplary condition throughout, with a fantastically preserved original interior, this truly is a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage Ferrari 365 BB which cannot be missed before everyone wakes up to the future potential of such low-production and original righthand drive examples.

A legend was born with the launch of the Gandini designed Lamborghini Miura at the Geneva Salon in 1966. The new supercar sent jaws dropping and no car looked even remotely similar. Although not finished in time to make the Geneva debut, the mid-mounted 3.9-litre V12 would later be revealed to be transversely positioned. In an era where Ferrari and Aston Martin were, to a large extent, recycling the same old parts in their latest offerings the Miura was to set the standard for future supercars. The Sant’Agata factory order book quickly began to fill, marketed with a cleverly orchestrated inaugural public appearance at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix and a starring role in the opening sequence of The Italian Job to the soundtrack of ‘On Days Like These’ by Matt Monro resulting in a generations’ desire to be behind the wheel of a Miura in the Italian Alps... Although the company was still in its infancy, it didn’t create the supercar genre with modesty and the car hit the showrooms with a price of around $20,000. Bought by Hollywood legends like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra many of the worlds’ top-flight racing drivers also found the 170mph Miura enticing. Just 474 P400 Miuras were built between 1966 and 1970, with successive ‘S’ and ‘SV’ models continuing production through until 1973. This example was supplied new to France, and showed a mileage of just 26,350kms (16,337 miles) on the sales invoice to the last owner in 2001. Since this time, a further 27,806kms (17,240 miles) have been added.

Upon its arrival in the UK, the decision was made to carefully preserve as much as possible, yet the original matching-numbers engine was stripped, inspected and subjected to a full rebuild as required. The opportunity was also taken at this time to convert to the late SV split sump specification. Similarly, the interior was treated to a complete retrim in Italy, with the beautiful black leather perfectly complementing the yellow exterior. The resulting car is irresistible. A set of new, wider, SV wheels were added ahead of successfully taking part in the Miura’s 45th anniversary tour, taking in the great Alpine passes of Northern Italy, surprising the SV models by matching their speed during the spirited alpine driving. An uprated aluminium radiator ensured all stayed cool, however, for you purists, the original radiator and wheels remain with the car. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally original and well preserved Miura. With many of the first cars leading a hard early life it’s unusual to find one in such superb condition, that’s assuming you can source one at all. Achingly beautiful from every angle the Lamborghini Miura is amongst the top collectors’ pieces in the automotive arena and a must for any serious collection.

There were a total of just 50 of the immortal Blower Bentleys to be manufactured, split across two specific series. The first batch of 25 cars carried an SM chassis number suffix and were more readily identified by a smooth finish blower casing. Chassis SM 3925 was the last of this first batch and was originally one of just two cars to wear a Freestone and Webb panelled four-door saloon body, as pictured in Fifty Years of the Marque (Johnnie Green, p. 105 - 3rd Edition) A reference to Hay’s various works, including the GT Foulis Autofolio book on the 4.5 litre Supercharged Bentley’s confirms that these cars led a very colourful life in their early years. With so much power and relative lack of stopping authority on the first examples it seems that a handful of cars caught out their pilots on the unforgiving roads of the 1930’s. In fact, it lists two chassis within this batch as believed to have been broken up and a further one which has been scrapped. Of the remaining 22 cars, one was written off and later rebuilt without a supercharged engine, and three were crashed within the first three years of their life and were returned to the factory to be rebuilt, incorporating a “reconditioned chassis frame” from stock. SM 3925 was one of these three cars. On 24th June 1935 the car suffered an accident that required the frame to be changed by the Bentley factory, as documented in the original Factory Service Records. This would almost certainly have been an original heavy gauge, chassis as also fitted to the 4.5 litres from late 1929, but modified to the blower spec by changing the front dumb irons and the cross

member - these being the only two items that carried the original chassis number for that particular frame. It is this precise specification, which exactly matches the chassis fitted to the car today. The front axle and some steering components were also changed at this time, with the originals going in to the recycling division for repair and reuse in another car in the future. The original D-Type gearbox was also changed for a Bentley Factory supplied replacement unit - D- 7015 - also recorded in the Factory Service Record in November 1938. At some point, the car’s original engine was used for a 3 litre conversion to 4.5 litres - another common practice at the time, ending up in 3 litre chassis HT 1633 for many years, owned by highly respected BDC members Gordon MacDonald then Kay McCosh. The reconditioned front axle and steering box from SM 3925 were later used in a 4.5 litre - Chassis HT 3196, which was modified with two seater body and raced by Kemp Place throughout late 1940’s & 50’s These components stayed with the car all the way through until the late 1980’s. In 1984, under the stewardship of its then privateer owner, the decision was made to track down all the surviving components from SM 3925 and commence on a 6-year project to reunite everything and rebuild the car to its former glory. The starting point was exactly as in 1935, with an original and genuine reconditioned frame, modified in precisely the same way with the front dumb irons and cross member conversion to blower specification.

Amazingly, after a worldwide search, blower unit number 121 was located in the USA, acquired - with great difficulty - and fitted. This, in itself, has a great history, having been originally fitted to the original Olympia show car, itself an original Vanden Plas bodied tourer that still exists today and is considered to be one of the most original and important of all the blowers to survive.

The attention to detail was so intense that an original D-type gearbox was sourced that was just 11 numbers out from the 1938 replacement.

And so to the Supercharger Unit.

Given the immortalisation of the Team Car bodies, the decision was made to rebody in the style of a VDP Le Mans Tourer and also to fit an overdrive unit for long distance relaxed touring. Sometime later, the project was finally completed and ready for the road again.

A new FIVA card was granted in 2012, an essential document to support an application to take part in such blue ribband events as the gruelling Mille Miglia which we’ve no doubt this Blower could tackle with ease... This car became a centre piece of the ‘Stradale’ collection in 2009 and took part in the 80th anniversary Blower rally in 2010 covering a trouble free 3,000kms and taking in the Le Mans classic on the way home!

Post-war Britain had all the potential to be a bleak and miserable place; war torn, fiscally challenged and drained of energy after years of fighting. Sir William Lyons had other ideas. In 1948 the Jaguar boss launched what would become the eternal sports car blueprint and the fastest production car in the world.
steel-bodied XK120s to have been made and believed to be the 2nd oldest survivor. It is one of just 1,175 righthand drive Roadsters built over five years. Being a very early car, it was obliged to be exported when new hence the km speedo - and spent the first 24 years in the warm and car-friendly environment of Italy.
Lyons had spent the war years perfecting an elegant and sleek aluminium body design for his XK120, named for the record-breaking top speed it could achieve. When the world reacted to its launch with more elation than even Lyons could have hoped for, Jaguar struggled to build the XK120 fast enough for the demand. Not only were the aluminium bodies attracting regular showroom customers, but the lightweight construction complemented the 3.4-litre straight six tremendously enough to entice racing drivers too. Sir Stirling Moss won his first international race at the wheel of one.
Perhaps even more impressive than the rarity is just how highly original it remains. The odometer reads an accurate and true 30,997 miles, all of which have been accumulated on the matching numbers 3.4-litre straight-six engine. Also preserved is what appears to be much of the original factory black paintwork and the red & biscuit trim, both of which display a maturity that is lost on all but a few special survivors. The studless cam covers and tall carburettors are further correct very early features.
In order to meet demand and save time during the build process, pressed steel bodies were used from the spring of 1950 onwards. XK120 Production lasted until 1954 and kick-started the world’s love affair with the Jaguar brand; North America took a particular interest and many left Coventry for a passage across the Atlantic. The Jaguar XK120 Roadster offered here is one of the most important road-going examples to be brought to the market in recent times. Built on the 12th April 1950, chassis 660064 is one of the first six right-hand drive

The story of the E-Type requires little introduction, however, what perhaps does need explaining is the importance of early E-Types to understand how the pursuit of the unobtainable drives even the best-heeled of collector’s. The most sought of all the E-Types are the first 92 RHD cars produced - all featuring and identified by their outside bonnet locks. In total, 56, so almost all of the first cars, were supplied in July 1961 to the Jaguar dealerships, most to be the demonstrator for each dealer who were forbidden to sell these cars until that September. With most of the first 20 cars produced being allocated for competition use, the very first road cars are considered to be the Holy Grail of all collector cars. Chassis #027 is a rare opportunity to enjoy the thrill of ownership unsurpassed by many other exotic cars, and works out to be the 10th chassis number of the road going examples released outside Jaguar’s hand-picked first clients. Not only does it have the much revered ‘flat floors’ and ‘outside bonnet locks’ but in fact a whole myriad of other specific very early features including a smooth cut-away groove at the top of the A-post cappings, single boot hinges, thicker screen chrome mouldings, thinner dashboard top-roll, Lucas PL front lamps, splitlink throttle linkage and separate, welded-in bonnet louvres. As car Number 27 there are in fact a great many parts that could be considered ‘pre-production’ and these have all been greatly considered and preserved wherever possible during the intensive and careful restoration.

Stamps which featured six British Classics, with a first day cover included within the history file. Rumoured to have been first owned by Mike Hailwood in 1961 regrettably these claims cannot be corroborated, although it seems very likely he must have had the use of it at some point, however, what is known is that #027 was gifted to 21-year-old Alan Wood in 1964, before a short period of ownership by budding Pilot Joe Tonna which saw him straight-swap his Carmen Red E-Type for Julian Soddy’s yellow MGB roadster in the early 70’s. Chassis number 27 was then owned, cherished and even hill-climbed by enthusiastic Pilot, Julian Soddy until 1978. Julian used this car devotedly even honeymooning in his beloved E-Type. Included in the history file is a wonderful account of his eight year tenure living and loving 850027. One particularly fine tale is offered: “My fiancé was also my secretary and therefore often drove the Jaguar. She always told me that she never exceeded 60mph, but naturally I suspected otherwise, and often expressed this opinion to the accompaniment of vigorous denials. One morning we had to drive to a neighbouring airfield some 12 miles away in order to pick up the Stampe after some maintenance work. I strapped myself to the aeroplane and after a short, but mandatory, aerobatic display, I set heading for base. I flew at 1500ft and sighted the E-Type some five miles along the main road, obviously going at a rate of knots. I decided to formate on her and sat at about 500ft above and behind the rocketing Jaguar with air speed indicator hovering on 100kts. That’s about 120mph or so but in fairness there was a headwind of about 15-20kts which still made the speed in excess of the magical ton. I had my proof, but despite

protestations of underhand tactics I knew deep down that it wouldn’t make any difference, so I married the girl!” Showing signs of passionate usage, #027 was sold in 1978 to Guy Black of Lynx Motors who set about a full and complete restoration. This was only part completed before Walter C. Hill, himself an airline pilot and recognised Jaguar collector in the USA received this E-Type via the Port of Miami in late June 1980. Here chassis 27 would be the first member of what was to become a world class Jaguar collection; being later joined by such stable mates as a C-Type, D-Type, XKSS, the original Low Drag E-Type “CUT 7”, alongside one of the 12 original lightweight E-Types, an IMSA/Le Mans 1980’s Jaguar XJR 5 and XK120 chassis number 670001. Walter was exceptionally handson and over the period of two or three years completed the restoration begun by Guy Black to an exceptional and sympathetic standard. By 2005 the Hill collection was becoming too much and several cars, including #027 was sold by auction eventually arriving on British shores to known UK collector, the late Mr Henry Weitzman of Rickmansworth. Re-registered in the UK in 2006 this car was assigned registration number 880 UXR as it retains today. On returning to UK shores and joining the Weitzman collection, chassis #027 was entrusted to Webster & Lancaster of Hertfordshire whereupon some £3,000 was spent on a thorough service and recommissioning. Now showing just 300 something miles, it is believed that this could indeed be the genuine mileage post-restoration in 1980-83.

The history is interesting and has been summarised in a Jaguar World Monthly magazine feature from July 2012 by Jim Patten which is present in the history file. In 1968 this particular E-Type starred in the film “Don’t raise the bridge, lower the river” starring Jerry Lewis, Terry Thomas, Bernard Cribbins and a young Patricia Routledge where chassis #027 can be seen in several scenes. The heritage certificate confirms its original purpose as the launch model for Jaguar House of Oxford, having been distributed by Henlys of London on the 13th June 1961, and that the existing colour combination of Carmen Red with Black leather trim is correct. The registration 200 MFC was assigned at the time though this was sadly lost in 1975 when the irresistible ‘1 XKE’ was sourced for #850027. This is the actual car featured in the original E-Type guide book by Anders Ditlev Clausager; ‘Factory Original Jaguar E-Type’ to define the 3.8 models. The book is the official Jaguar Heritage originality bible with #027 featured throughout and, as already mentioned, it is also the actual car featuring on a set of six Royal Mail first class stamps depicting six definitive British classic cars. Possibly the definitive Jaguar connoisseur’s dream collectable it is in fabulous and pristine yet not overrestored condition today and represents a very special opportunity.

The Lotus Elite was launched at the London Motor Show at Earls Court, London, in 1957 as a unique fibreglass ‘monocoque’ construction. The car was regarded as a very pretty design back in the day and it went on to enjoy great success, both on road and track, even racing at Le Mans - where it won its class no less than six times at La Sarthe. The ‘SE’ and ‘Super’ models followed shortly thereafter featuring twin Webers, a fabricated exhaust manifold, a ZF gearbox, Lucas PL700 headlamps and a silver coloured roof. Between 1958 and 1963 just 1030 Elite’s had been produced in total, worldwide. This charming Lotus Elite is a Series II model featuring a Bristol Aircraft Company built body, triangulated trailing radius arms for improved toe-in control and Girling disc brakes. First registered on 18th September 1962 in York, its first change of owner was on 12 July 1968 to a Mr Howard Rawlinson of Stockport, Cheshire eventually leading to renowned Lotus Collector and Racer,

Malcolm Ricketts of Ricketts Racing, cherished our Elite from 1983 for the next 20 years within his famed Historic Lotus Collection. In the history file there are an incredible record of bills and receipts dating back to 1969. Much correspondence between owners, Coventry Climax and ZF Great Britain are present, along with many other receipts for maintenance work carried out. An original buff registration book details ownership changes and MoT test certificates back to 1983, when the car had covered only 46,814 miles. The car has a current odometer reading of just over 65,000 miles. A letter detailing specifications and history - presumably from a previous owner of 910 CBL - dated 28th January 1970 states the car as having a respray and the engine upgraded to Stage 2 specification in 1969. In the handling section it mentions: “Handling is naturally superb with a characteristically gradual transition from under to over steer. N/S front wheel can be lifted”. More recent work included a complete driveshaft overhaul in 2003 by Ricketts Racing. In addition, in 2010 John Exley Developments rebuilt the engine, taking the usual opportunity to upgrade the capacity to 1500cc and finding the engine to be “very unmolested” upon dismantling. This example also sports the more desirable ZF gearbox and twin SU carburettors, arguably the most desirable specifiation of all the Elites built. The Lotus Elite continues to attract overseas interest with reports of several similar cars now being enjoyed in the Far East. This is a delightful car in fine order.

1972 Lotus Elan Sprint Drophead
Lotus launched a legend in 1962, the new and groundbreaking Lotus Elan. Following on from the Elite model the new car offered improved handling allied with better performance. Below the bonnet sat a new twin-cam four cylinder engine which would become a legend in its own right, powering other classic Lotus models including of course the Cortina sports-saloons. Initially the Elan came as an open two-seater, then from 1964 a fixed head coupé was also available, both bodies being constructed from GRP and mounted on a separate chassis. In 1967 a new 2+2 joined the range.

This charming and genuine Lotus Elan Sprint Drophead was manufactured August 1972 as confirmed by Maurice Storey of the Lotus Archives, however first registration was not until 10th January 1973. A refreshing
Old MoT test certificates date back to 1975 complete this most impressive of history files and confirms mileage throughout. Supplied with a very rare original service booklet and handbook, along with a photographic record of the rebuild, this is a desirable sports car with a secure future. Equally welcome on either track or road, this punchy Elan performs extremely well and felt very quick and responsive when photographed.

Still sporting its original registration of ‘MRX 332L’, this amazingly packaged, extremely capable and surprisingly roomy sportscar was fully stripped to the bare body shell and all necessary components removed for restoration in 1990 by renowned Elan experts Mick Miller of Saxmundham, Suffolk. The body was completely removed from the chassis and the chassis shot blasted and powder coated. The body was then painted again in Lagoon Blue and returned to the chassis.
A true turn-key investment declared by John Bolster in the very first issue of Classic and Sportscar magazine in 1982 that “Every home should have one”. Coincidentally, Malcolm Ricketts was the featured Elan Sprint owner for the story, his beloved Lotus Elite also being offered from the ‘Stradale’ Collection today...

1980 Ducati 900 Mike Hailwood Replica Earning the respect and admiration of his peers through the enormity of his talent, the strength of his personality and his outrageous sense of fun, the Legend of Mike Hailwood as one of motorsport’s greats is still hotly celebrated. He won nine motorcycle World Championships between 1961 and 1967, then turned to motor racing, following in the footsteps of John Surtees, with whose cars he became European Formula 2 Champion and began his Formula 1 career. In time he might well have added a Formula 1 World Championship to his list of achievements, but his motor racing career ended abruptly in 1974 when he crashed

Disabled by his leg injuries, he retired to New Zealand, where he quickly became bored, and by 1978, at the age of 38, he was back at the Isle of Man, the scene of so many of his earlier triumphs, not only to race bikes once again, but to take on and beat the entire field. His victorious return to ‘The Island’ has been described as one of the most emotional moments of 20th century sport.

This meant an end for the rather simply constructed crossover rod to make left-side gearshift possible in 1976. Bosch ignition replaced Ducati’s own and an electric starter motor was standard.
A number of improvements were introduced on the rare 900SSD including the crankshaft bearings which were updated, the crankpin which was enlarged and desmodromic camshafts were now standard like

The golden rule for anyone hoping to buy at auction is to thoroughly inspect the lot you are interested in before bidding, as no warranty or guarantee is given with anything that is sold. For this reason the auction centre is open for viewing prior to each Auction (please check times). All bids are final and irrevocable. Bidder Registration You can bid at auction either in person by attending the sale, by telephone, by leaving a commission bid or live, online. To meet current legislative requirements, you will need to provide proof of identification in the form of a passport or drivers licence and a recent utility bill as proof of address. Credit or debit card details will also be required. When submitting forms in absentia, please try to ensure they reach us no later than 48 hours before the auction is due to take place.

Buying Guide Telephone bidding Should you be unable to attend the auction on sale day, telephone bidding will still allow you to bid live. On the day of the sale, a member of Silverstone Auctions will contact you, usually a few lots prior to your selected lots and will guide you through the process. To register a telephone bid, please complete the relevant Absentee Bidder Registration form. It is important that you provide us with alternative contact numbers to ensure that we are able to contact you on the day. If, for any reason, we are unable to contact you on any of the telephone numbers you submitted, you may wish to turn your bid into a commission bid by completing the appropriate information on the form. This however is entirely optional. Note that we do not operate telephone bids for lots with a low estimate value below £500. Commission bidding If you think you might not be contactable on the day of the sale, you may leave with us a commission bid. To submit a commission bid, please complete our Absentee Bidder Registration form indicating, for each lot you wish to bid on, the maximum amount you are willing to bid up to (excluding commission and VAT).

Whilst your Silverstone Auctions Catalogue admits two persons to the viewing day(s) and the sale day please refer to any specific Admission tickets that maybe required to enter the Event. Further copies of the catalogue can be purchased at the Auction. Warranties All lots are sold on an ‘as seen’ basis. You may wish to bring a competent mechanic with you to inspect any Motor Vehicles on your behalf. The catalogue will describe the lots to the best of our ability on information supplied. You should, however, satisfy yourself as to the condition, age, and integrity of any lot prior to bidding as no warranties whatsoever are given in relation to any lot. Once the auctioneer drops the hammer a contract is made and you are obligated to proceed with the purchase. It is therefore vital that you are satisfied with the condition of the lot you intend to bid upon before doing so. Charges Like the vast majority of auctioneers, Silverstone Auctions Limited charge what is known as a buyer’s premium. Our standard buyer’s premium charges are 12.5% of the hammer price on motor vehicles (cars and motorcycles). Buyer’s premium is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate on the day of the auction.

If you have any questions with regard to payment, please contact our administration department. Collection All purchases are at buyers risk from the fall of the hammer. You should therefore arrange insurance and removal of the lot as follows: Motor Vehicles Motor Vehicles must be collected on Saturday 6th September 2014 between 09.00 and 14.00. Unremoved lots will be removed by our transport agents, Kentvale, at the Buyer’s expense in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. A motor vehicle removal fee of £195 plus VAT and storage fees of £10 per day plus VAT will be incurred. Buyers should satisfy themselves that they have collected all relevant log books, documents and keys relating to their lot(s) at time of collection.

Business debit and credit cards are subject to a 2% charge.

Travel Today, Syon House is the London home of His Grace The 12th Duke of Northumberland and it has been in his family for over 400 years. Surrounded by 200 acres of its own parkland alongside the River Thames, it is hard to believe that Syon is barely 10 miles from central London. Syon Park dates back to 1415, when King Henry V founded two religious houses; one at Shene and one at Twickenham. The Twickenham site however proved unsuitable and the abbey was moved to the site now occupied by Syon House. Construction began in 1426 and by 1431, the first buildings were ready for occupation. It is a wonderful house, full of beauty and magnificence, of great paintings and furniture, with perhaps the finest Robert Adam interior in the country. The entrance to the Great Hall is through the porte-cochere, built in the 1820s, when the exterior walls of the house were resurfaced with Bath stone by the 3rd Duke. Robert Adam’s instructions were ‘to create a palace of GraecoRoman splendour’. The contrast between the Great Hall and the Ante Room is startling. Here the vivid colourings are enhanced by the twelve Ionic columns veneered with verd-antique scagliola, obtained by James Adam in 1765 in Rome. The Dining Room was the first of the state rooms to be finished in 1763 and with its arched recesses, apses, half domes and colunbnar screens, it is quintessentially Adam. The wall hangings of crimson Spitalfield silk in the Red Drawing Room were re-woven in the 1820s. The Long Gallery was planned by Adam for the particular delight of the ladies; in his own words ‘finished in a style to afford variety and amusement’. The centrepiece of the Gardens is the Great Conservatory, arguably the finest surviving garden building of its era. The central dome and specimen

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. 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 10% 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.
