Designed as project ADO15 (Austin Drawing Office project number 15), the Mini came about because of the fuel shortage caused by the 1956 Suez Crisis. Petrol was once again rationed in the UK, sales of large cars slumped and the market for German bubble cars boomed. Leonard Lord, the somewhat autocratic head of BMC, reportedly detested these cars so much that he vowed to rid the streets of them and design a ‘proper miniature car’. He laid down some basic design requirements: the car should be contained within a box that measured 10 × 4 × 4 ft (3 × 1.2 × 1.2 m); and the passenger accommodation should occupy 6 ft (1.8 m) of the 10 ft (3 m) length; and the engine, for reasons of cost, should be an existing unit. Issigonis, who had been working for Alvis, had been recruited back to BMC in 1955 and, with his skills in designing small cars, was a natural for the task. The team that designed the Mini was remarkably small: as well as Issigonis, there was Jack Daniels (who had worked with him on the Morris Minor), Chris Kingham (who had been with him at Alvis), two engineering students and four draughtsmen. Together, by October 1957, they had designed and built the original prototype, which was affectionately named “The Orange Box” because of its colour.

Finished in lovely Blu Scuro (Navy Blue) the car presents as you would expect from a lovingly maintained cherished vehicle with an odometer reading of just 16,534 believed genuine miles. We are assured by the vendor that very little has been replaced during its life with all the glass, interior, floor mats, sunroof, and the spare wheel and tyre being original. The steering wheel cover fitted by the supplying dealer in 1972 is still in situ. All that was necessary to secure the most recent MOT was replacement headlamp bulbs.
Almost, but not quite, the coveted “one lady owner from new”, this little Fiat was built in right hand drive form for the New Zealand market and was sold by Olympic motors ltd, Fiat main dealers in 1972 to a Mrs. Holbrook. Her pride of ownership is evidenced by the fact that she carefully retained in her paperwork file the original guarantee of sale, the service book with the first three main dealer service stamps, her first insurance certificate, and Warrant of Fitness Certificates (N.Z. MOT’s) showing the mileage of only 16,000 miles to 1995 when Mrs. Holbrook sold the car.
Upon arrival in the UK this ex-New Zealand car has had import taxes paid and been issued with a UK MOT certificate expiring March 2016. With NOVA submission completed this car is ready for registration in any EU country. We are told the car drives very well and is as pretty as a picture.

The Renault Sport Spider, or project W94 as it was codenamed, debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995 and was launched the year after, when the Williams Renault F1 team was enjoying great success with it’s Adrian Newey designed cars. Completely understandable, Renault’s plan was clearly to capitalise on both this motor sport “moment in the Sunshine” with a multi national One Make Championship, and the sports car boom of the mid 90s, most visible in the number of Lotus Elise Mk.1s pouring out of the factory. Ultimately, although not as successful as they had hoped with only 1685 Sport Spiders being built, they did manage to create a fabulous little driver’s car. Powered by the 150bhp,16v four cylinder engine first seen in the Renault Clio Williams, and latterly in the original Megane 16v Coupé, and given it’s relatively light weight, the Sport Spider turned out to be a positive “Road Rocket” with 60 mph. coming up in 6.9 seconds on it’s way to a maximum of 134mph. Take a seat behind the wheel and you instantly know that this car means business; quite simply it’s more race car than road car. A single aluminium bar dominates the dashboard with only three dials set into a central pod. A speedometer was not part of the package and a rev counter, oil and water pressure gauges were all that were deemed necessary. To complete the sports ww w. s ilv e rstone a u c t i o ns. co m

The windows meanwhile, pivot up to open, which is arguably practical and certainly distinctive. The Renault Spider championships ran for several years as a support series to larger championships such as British Touring Cars and groomed many fine racing drivers, including the hard charging Jason Plato. Only 60 right hand drive models were manufactured during its short production run of 18 months, and this particular example has covered only 3,290 miles from new as detailed on the MoT certificate dated the 2nd April 2015, making it a rare and interesting proposition.Registered in the UK in 2013 the V5c shows no former keepers, however the car was registered in Ireland in 1997 and the SIMI Vehicle Data Check in the accompanying history file shows 2 keepers. This file also contains some receipts and invoices for servicing work, the original hand book and service book along with copies of the original registration documents.

The Porsche ‘996’ was the factory’s internal designation for the Porsche 911 model, manufactured with the first model year in 1999 and the last in 2005. The 996 had little in common with its predecessor with the first new chassis platform since the original 911. At its debut the 996 featured the most significant change from the classic 911 series , a water cooled engine replacing the previous air cooled engine . Stringent emissions/noise regulations , a higher expectation for refinement and a high performance 4 valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other major changes include a completely new platform having a sleeker body with a more raked windshield and redesigned interior. In response to customer demand the Carrera 4S was introduced in 2003 which came with many options including a wider body with turbo style wheels, lowered suspension and sports exhaust, coupled with the 3.6ltr engine which developed 320bhp @6800rpm and 273lb/ft torque. Aided by the inclusion of ‘Variocam plus’ which improved power delivery through the range , giving it a 0-60 time of 5 seconds and a top speed of 174mph.

As well as the mainstream private sector, the “Sport”, “RSMexico”, and “RS2000” were manufactured to sell in the performance market, particularly rallying where its predecessor had proven very capable.

The car was heavily Waxoyled when new to protect all vital areas prone to rust on Mk2 Escorts. This car still carries its wax oil, which in some areas, especially the engine bay, can look a little untidy. A small area around the chassis number on the inner wing has been removed to demonstrate just how good the car is under the wax oil. The next owner may wish to remove it but the vendor likes it just the way it is. We cannot stress enough how incredibly original this car is and how it is presented in as new condition, exactly how the car left the factory 35 years ago. A true one off, very special Mk2 Escort that will be a fantastic addition to any low-mileage collection.

The Type 14 Karmann Ghia debuted at the October 1953, Paris Auto Show as a styling concept created for Ghia by Luigi Segre. The Type 14 was Volkswagen’s proposed ‘halo’ car contracting it’s manufacture out to German coachbuilder Karmann. Karmann, in turn, chose to work hand in hand with the famous Italian styling house Ghia, who adapted styling themes previously explored for Chrysler and Studebaker to a Beetle floor pan widened by about 300mm. This impressive 1971 example, was imported from the USA in 2013 by our vendor, as a solid and mostly complete car that had been taken off the road in 1985 by its first and, we are led to believe, only owner. Upon arrival on our shores the car was subject to a complete nut and bolt restoration by Greyhound Cars in Wolverhampton. The body was completely stripped and what little rust was found was attended to, before the car was repainted in the resplendent silver you see today.

The Escort RS2000 was the last car to be introduced to the AVO production range, introduced in the June of 1973. The car fitted nicely into the AVO range with its performance almost comparable to the complex RS1600, but with the reliability and ease of maintenance of the Mexico. The car used the same type 49-body shell as the Mexico and RS1600. Fortunately, there was a new engine in use at Ford, the 2-litre overhead cam Pinto design, which Ford then decided to use instead. Fords then had the major problem to persuade the new bulky Pinto engine to fit into the engine bay, which was something it had never been meant to do. The only way of achieving this was by discarding the engine driver cooling fan and replacing it with a thermostatically controlled Kenlowe fan. The engine produced 100bhp (2bhp more than in the Cortina). The gearbox was the German type e-box and was totally different from the RS1600. They used a final drive of 3.54:1. The car was launched in England on 11th October 1973 priced at £1586.

The engine is a freshly rebuilt Pinto that develops a healthy 140 bhp with a gas-flowed head, Schmitt pistons, 4-2-1 Ashley manifold and is mated to a 5-speed STD Sierra gearbox.
This 1974 Ford RS 2000 is an ideal introduction for any peddler, young or old, into the world of historic rallying.

Does the E-Type Roadster need a general introduction? Ever since Enzo Ferrari famously described it as ‘the most beautiful car in the world’ when launched, we think you may well already be getting the drift! Following on from the highly acclaimed series 1, the series II was introduced in 1968 and only available as a 4.2, 6 cylinder Roadster or 2 plus 2 Coupé. Refined in all key areas, including cooling, brakes, steering and handling - it is now widely regarded as the best driving E-Type of them all. A letter from Jaguar Cars Ltd. in the history file confirms that this car was a UK right hand drive model supplied on 25-6-1969 to London dealer, Henlys, finished in Primrose Yellow with a black hood and black trim.

The Imperial Motor Company of Dewsbury, West Yorks carried out a comprehensive rebuild and restoration in 2001 costing some £9,397 at the time and since then the annual mileage increases suggest the car has hardly been used at all other than to and from the MOT station!

The car will have a new MOT in time for the sale.
Our vendor, who has owned the car since 1990, has no early history on the car. However, the history file confirms that it was re-imported back to the UK from Alberta, Canada in August 1990 - still as a right hand drive car but now finished in Red. The car has had very limited use between the purchase date and the present day, all the previous MOT cerificates are present and show annual mileage increases of no more than a few hundred during her entire ownership.

1986 Ferrari Testarossa (single mirror, knock on wheels)
The name ‘Testarossa’, literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the 50s and 60s and was reincarnated at the launch of their new model at the Paris Show at Porte de Versailles in 1984. Housing a 4.9 litre V12 engine pushing out 390BHP, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and top speed of 196mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossa’s were produced in total. The earliest and rarest of all Testarossa’s are the single high mirror ‘Flying Mirror’ with ‘Knock off’ centre lock wheels examples these are fast be coming the most sought after and desirable off them all. This early ‘Flying Mirror’ example was first delivered to Switzerland in 1986, and whilst originally finished in Bianco, the car was repainted early in its life in Giallo Fly Yellow, arguably one the best colours for a Ferrari! The car remained in Switzerland until the current owner purchased it in 2004 and eventually registered it in 2006.

1998 Porsche 911 993 C2 Coupé
Often cited by enthusiasts as “the last real Porsche” the 993 straddles the bridge between pure high performance driving thrills, visceral dynamics, and appealing design led solutions to emissions and safety requirements. No previous 911 variant had such high speed cornering ability and stability aided by the use of a widened track and all alloy rear suspension. The six speed manual gearbox not only surpassed the previous four and five-speed gearboxes in usability, but most commentators also found it to be quicker reacting and a smoother gear change, in turn allowing full concentration to be employed on the road ahead rather than concentrating on changing gear.

Three versions were produced, each an improved evolution known as BNI, II, and III.

1996 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta
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 old-guard ‘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. It had 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 an air flow channel that generated enough down-force to offset any lift. The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V8 had a stunning 380 horsepower at a spine tingling 8,250 rpm. The gearbox now had six speeds with a new type of synchromesh that made it much easier to shift. 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.

By the start of the 1960s the model range produced by Mercedes-Benz offered drivers saloon cars, sports car and utility vehicles. To complete a ‘full house’, Mercedes-Benz decided that a super prestige saloon, akin to the earlier Grosser models of the 1930s, ought to be included. In 1963 the all-new 600 model was launched at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Representing the very best of Mercedes-Benz automotive engineering and technology, the 600 featured a 6.3 litre V8 engine, air suspension with variable ride control, all-round disc brakes, power steering and central locking. The cabin boasted a fine finish of wood, leather, privacy curtains and wind deflectors on the rear windows for passengers.
We are pleased to offer this original UK right-hand drive 600 Short Wheel Base Limousine, first registered to Barclay Hotels Ltd of 2 Hyde Park Place, London in April 1971. We can only assume that the hotel required a luxurious car to ferry around its important guests, and this car would certainly have fitted the bill. Finished in metallic blue with a cream leather interior, the car can be described as being in good condition with a few areas that would benefit from some attention. There are no signs of rust on the bodywork and the interior could be brought back to life with a thorough leather clean. At the time of photographing, the car was being fettled and a new fuel pump fitted.
The most popular version was the 3,200mm (10’ 6”) wheelbase saloon that could seat up to six passengers, while the long-wheelbase Pullman limousine, exceeding 20’ in length and beloved of Heads of State, could accommodate up to eight. Despite its not inconsiderable weight the 600 was endowed with highly respectable performance, reaching 60mph in a little under 10 seconds and exceeding 125mph flat out. Only 2,677 examples were made, of which 2,190 were four-door saloons, 428 were Pullman limousines and 59 were landaulettes.

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 produced in total with the ‘twin mirror’ cars now being recognised as the most collectable examples. This left-hand drive Ferrari Testarossa was delivered new to Switzerland and has spent much of its life being cosseted in a private collection. It was collected by it’s first owner in the picturesque Alpine town of Lugano, Switzerland on 19th May 1989. It was serviced in October 1989 by the supplying Ferrari dealer and used very sparingly for its first few years. By 1993 the car had covered 3,290 Kilometres and by 2004 just 4,832 kilometres. In recent years the car has resided in a private collection in Portugal and used only in fine weather.

2009 Ferrari F430 Scuderia * only 85km
Serving as the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia 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 stems from a revised intake, re designed exhaust and an ion sensing knock detection system that allows for a higher compression ratio resulting in the weightto-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.
leather, this Scuderia is, to date, the only one made by Ferrari in that exterior / interior combination. Equally stunning is the fact that it has only covered 85km since being built in 2009.

1977 Jaguar XJC
Produced in very low volumes and built between 1975 and 1978, XJ Coupé production reached a mere 6,505 cars. The 2-door XJ Coupés, with a pillarless hardtop body called the XJ-C, were built at Jaguar’s Browns Lane factory. The car was actually launched at the London Motor Show in October 1973, but it subsequently became clear that it was not ready for production - it was reported that problems with window sealing delayed production. XJ Coupés finally started to emerge from Jaguar showrooms some two years later to widespread delight. The Coupé was based on the short-wheelbase version of the XJ. Both six and twelve-cylinder models were offered, 6,505 of the former and 1,873 of the latter. Both the door and side windows could be wound down, resulting in a most attractive pillar-less look. However, the prohibitive expense of getting its two-door bodyshell to meet United States safety regulations meant that the Coupé version never went on sale in the USA. Consequently, the model is one of the rarest of the XJ family with production ending in 1977.

Designed under the auspices of Val Page, the two stroke twin cylinder Ariel Leader introduced a raft of innovative features aimed at simplifying production and providing motorcyclists with a versatile mount capable of commuting during the week and touring at the weekend. Ariel introduced the Arrow in 1960 and the Super Sports Arrow, quickly dubbed the ‘Golden Arrow’ in reference to the flamboyant gold finish applied to the dummy fuel tank in 1961. The Super Sport or Golden Arrow additionally benefited from a larger carburettor, dropped handle bars equipped with ball ended levers, red grips and a fly screen as well as the striking colour scheme and quickly established itself as a desirable mount for apprentice café’ racers.

This 1962 model is a two-stroke twin, as opposed to a four-stroke and was rebuilt by marque specialist and Ariel owners Club Chairman John Ellis. Showing only 12027 miles, with extensive history, current MOT and V5, this is sure to be a bike that only appreciates in value.

The original Triumph Bonneville was a 650 cc parallel twin motorcycle manufactured by Triumph Engineering and later by Norton Villiers Triumph between 1959 and 1974. It was based on the company’s Triumph Tiger T110. Initially it was produced with a pre unit construction engine which enabled the bike to comfortably achieve 115 mph without further modification. The steering angle was altered and improved forks were fitted a couple of years later, which, together with the increased stiffness enabled overall performance to match that of the Bonneville’s rivals. Later T120 Bonnevilles used a new frame which contained the engine oil instead of using a separate tank; this became known as the oil in frame version. The T120 engine, both in standard configuration and especially when tuned for increased performance, was popular in café racers such as Tribsas (BSA frame) and particularly Tritons (Norton featherbed frame). This superb 1961 example has covered only 115 miles since full restoration in 2006. Sold in original blue-silver and having an extensive history file, V5 and current MOT- surely this a classic British vintage bike worthy of full consideration...

Registration: MBD 474E Frame Number: C15 G731 Engine Number: BSA C15G731 CC: 250cc Year of Manufacture: 1967 No Reserve
BSA acquired the Triumph marque in 1951, and the BSA C15 250 cc four stroke was derived from the 200 cc Triumph Tiger Cub, itself coming from the 150cc Terrier. Edward Turner became head of the BSA automotive division and in 1958 BSA introduced the concept of unit construction, where the engine and gearbox were combined in one piece rather than as separate components. The BSA C15 ‘Star’ was the first unit construction model and proved more reliable and economical than its predecessor, the pre-unit BSA C11. The later engines from 1966 also benefited from rationalisation at BSA when the bottom-end, crankcases, bearings, oil pump with circulation system and gearbox components - were redesigned reflecting the development work in producing Jeff Smith’s works Victor from the B40 basis. This super example with only 1 mile on the clock since a full restoration, is offered with V5 and current MOT at ‘no reserve.’

The Velocette Thruxton was a sporting motorcycle produced by Velocette between 1965 and 1971. Revealed at the 1964 Earls Court Show, it was the final development of Velocette’s antiquated pushrod single, the Venom. It was important for eligibility in endurance races such as the Thruxton 500 that competing motorcycles were genuine production machines, but although the Velocette Thruxton was sold in a road-going version, it was really targeted at the racing fraternity. Capable of 110 MPH the Thruxton boasted the fastest lap in it’s day at the Isle of Man TT races at an astonishing 91 MPH. This 1968 example has covered just 791 miles since full restoration in 2007. A rare bike given that no more than 1,108 Thruxtons were manufactured before the company collapsed in 1971. Offered in original silver-blue, this is a classic bike ready to ride away.

In 1966 Triumph made a desperate attempt to maintain a share of the UK motorbike market and moved production of the existing Tiger Cub from the Triumph factory in Meriden, Coventry, to the BSA plant at Armoury Road in Small Heath, Birmingham. The Cub engines continued to be built at Meriden, but they were transported to Small Heath where they were fitted into Bantam frames. So, using the latest 199cc Cub engine in a Bantam D7 frame, the Triumph T20 ‘Bantam Cub’ was born. Later versions were based on the Bantam D10 and branded the ‘Super Cub’. However, these models are often still referred to as Bantam Cubs. For many people the Bantam Cub provided the best of both worlds. The Cub engine was a powerful unit for it’s size with plenty of torque. The Bantam frame offered superior handling with it’s longer wheel-base and stronger frame.

This fine 1962 example has had just two owners from new and comes in touring trim with a number of clubman’s parts. It has clip on handlebars and headlamp brackets, 190mm. front brakes and the much sought after RRT2 close ratio gearbox. A classic British sports bike which any self respecting enthusiast will identify. This bike has covered only 44319 in its 53 years.

1986 BMW M635 CSi
This fantastically original example was imported by BMW UK as a full UK-spec right-hand drive car. Originally supplied to the L & C Motor Company of Tunbridge Wells, a BMW dealer at the time, it was used as their demonstrator model. The car was then bought by a Mr J. Cole of Pembrey, Kent who kept it until 1992, at which time the car ownership to a Mrs Jill Braxton of Burwash Common, Sussex, who owned the car up until 1994. For the next 20 years of its life, the car remained with its third keeper, Mr Tom Fahy of Mayfield. Under the watchful eye of Mr Fahy the car was stored in a dry garage, but sadly, for the last five years of his tenure ‘C635 GKO’ was rarely used due to his ill health. The first four stamps in the original service book are from the supplying dealer L & C Motor Co., followed by many stamps from specialists thereafter. Not to be mistaken for Henna Red, this car is finished in the reportedly rarer colour of Zinnober Red, with a cabin furnished in Anthracite Buffalo Hide - another special option to have at the time. The rear seats also have a centre armrest, which is a rather unusual feature in itself and must have been ordered by the BMW dealership as a one-off for their demonstrator car.

The vendor purchased the car in August 2014 and immediately set about recommissioning ‘C635 GKO’ to bring her back to life again at a cost in excess of £2,000. Only 524 right-hand drive M635 CSi cars were ever produced, with reportedly only 87 currently remaining in the UK, making it a super rare car today and one that cannot be overlooked. The overall condition of this car gives you no clue that it has covered the 98,061 miles that the odometer shows, with a superb sheen to the paint finish and little wear to the interior. Rarely do cars of this nature come to light and even rarer that they should bear their original registration and, in the case of this car, the very appropriate ‘C635 GKO’. w w w.s i lv erstoneauc ti ons.com
The Mercedes-Benz W201 was a compact executive saloon car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz from 1982 to 1993. Supposedly, Mercedes spent over £600 million researching and developing the 190 and subsequently it was deemed ‘over-engineered’ in an era when Mercedes engineering was widely revered. In the late 1970s, Mercedes had some good results competing in rallying with V8-powered R107 Series Coupés and naturally they were keen to build on this success by taking the 190E on a similar path. Not having the expertise in house at the time, Mercedes approached British engineering company Cosworth, to develop a competitive engine for the rally car. Unfortunately this project took off just as the Audi Quattro, with its all-wheel drive and turbocharger was launched, making the 2.3-16v appear somewhat outclassed. With a continued desire for the 190 to succeed in high profile motor sport, and also now a state of the art engine with which to do it, Mercedes turned to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) (German Touring Car Championship) motor sport series instead.

1958 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupé
The XK120 was launched in 1948 and it was an international sensation immediately, finally putting Jaguar on the world stage, and it’s racing derivatives would see the beginning of a hugely successful period for the company. The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK range, appearing in May 1957, and was a more refined and capable machine than its predecessors. Easily distinguishable from the 140 by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space, the 150 however, retained much of the mechanical layout of the earlier car sharing the same 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, developing 180bhp at 5750rpm. “The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world’s fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable... we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money,” concluded The Autocar. First rebuilt by Classic Cars International in 1989 after purchase from the Isle of Wight, and in current ownership where it has remained since 2009 the car has, once again, been subjected to extensive work by recognised Jaguar XK specialists Twyford Moors Motor Company.

A brief summary includes the galvanising of the original chassis, painted in the period correct deep bronze green and most original components reconditioned. When some parts were found to be beyond repair, original Land Rover new-old stock components were used. The engine was completely rebuilt at the same time and re-bored with new pistons and camshaft. In addition a new wiring loom and brake components were fitted as was a new canvas roof and bench seating for four in the rear.

1990 Lancia Delta Integrale 16V
Despite the fact that the 8v Integrale had dominated the 1988 World Rally Championship, Lancia knew that fur-ther development, and particularly more power, was needed to keep the car competitive with newer rivals. Accordingly, the 16v Integrale appeared a short time later and made a winning debut on the 1989 San Remo Rally. The turbocharged 2-litre Lancia engine, already a powerful, refined performer was further developed for the Integrale 16v. Generating 200 bhp (149 kW) at 5500 rpm, it took the car to a maximum speed of 137 mph (220 km/h) and from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5.5 seconds. Larger injectors provided higher power output and more effective use of the fuel feed at high engine speeds. The response of the Garrett T3 turbocharger was immediate, thanks to the reduced inertia of the turbine, and a highly efficient intercooler provided the driver with more power and greater reliability. The new over-boost system used a proportional electrovalve to in-crease engine torque to 220 lbf•ft (298 N•m) at 3000 rpm. All these improvements made the roadgoing version of the Integrale 16v a spirited, reliable and inherently safe car.

The original book pack contains the drivers manual, original warranty document and the service book which is stamped 18 times from the supplying dealer and specialists thereafter.

The interior of the car is tidy and presents well. Sitting on its 15” wheels the whole car looks fabulous. Currently reading, what we believe to be, a genuine 71,179 miles on the odometer, ‘G460 OKY’ will arrive at the auction with a fresh MoT and a UK V5C and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Whilst the prices of the later Evoluzione cars continue to swell, this one owner 16v Integrale provides a fantastic afforable entry into the ownership of a true rally icon!

This particular left-hand drive 190SL, the 514th made, was shipped new from the Mercedes-Benz factory in Stuttgart to Houston, Texas in 1955. It seems that Chassis #514 enjoyed the arid climate of Texas for much of its life when its last American owner, a Mr Epstein of Houston, Texas, sold it in 1994. It was then imported into the UK through Norway and was purchased by its current owner, Brian Gunney, who knew a good 190SL when he saw one. As the owner of Caerphilly based Redcastle Classics he has forty years of classic restoration experience with MercedesBenz models and specialises in 190SLs. Embarking on a bare-metal, ground up restoration using his encyclopaedic knowledge and a remarkable attention to detail, Chassis #514 was reborn in 2005. HM Custom duties were settled at this time and it was registered with the DVLA on 1st May 2005 and issued with the licence plate ‘585 UXD’. As befits a sympathetic restoration by a marque specialist the original chassis plates remain in place, and the car boasts many distinctive early period features. Of particular note are the rare thumb-release catches on the door frame for the roof mechanism. The dashboard is of a two-part early design with no clock set on the glove box lid and there is no chrome in front of the rear wheel arches or on the eyebrows above the ww w. s ilv e rstone a u c t i o ns. co m

wheels. The interior was re-trimmed in the trademark and uber-rare Mercedes plaid, the cloth perfectly complimenting the blue leather and silver paintwork of the dashboard. The butter soft tonneau cover in blue leather fits snuggly over the stowed roof. The engine starts on the button, idling beautifully and, on a run, the engine appeared to develop seamless power and gear changes were smooth and fluid, the brakes providing plenty of bite with no squealing or drifting. Remarkably for a car that has traversed the globe, the history file contains a copy of the original Stuttgart issued buildsheet, showing that Chassis #514 left the factory on 11th September 1955. During the full engine rebuild the odometer reading was zeroed and it shows, at the time of consignment, a reading of a mere 1,315 miles since 2005 substantiated by the recent MoTs on file. As the personal conveyance of a renowned restorer, the car has been started and idled to temperature regularly and has enjoyed occasional runs. Having had the honour of selling another Redcastle restored 190SL at the NEC Classic Sale in November 2014 for a premium inclusive £172,500 we are confident that this is one of the finest examples of an early 190SL available in today’s market, and offers exceptional value in a rising market.

2010 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (997)
The concept of the rather special Porsche 911 GT2 is to take the most powerful turbo engine in the range of the day and combine it only with rear wheel drive and a manual gearbox. At the same time Porsche upgrade and modify the suspension, brakes and engine output whilst lightening and removing interior components to create the ultimate drivers version of the car at that time. This recipe has been used with the 993, 996 and 997 versions of their iconic 911 model. This car is the 997 GT2 RS version of the Porsche 911 introduced in May 2010 and is one of just 500 produced worldwide. The engine uses twin variable geometry water cooled turbo chargers to produce a serious 620bhp and 516 lbs foot torque which lead to a terminal speed in excess of 205mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.4 seconds!
Having covered just over 16,000 miles from new, this example was purchased by its second and current owner last year from Porsche Newcastle. Service records show that the car was last seen by Porsche in October 2014 for a large service at a cost of over ÂŁ2,500. Finished in black with black and red interior, this GT2 RS represents a rare opportunity to experience the ultimate version of the 997, which is now recognised as a modern classic and is the fastest production 911 to ever lap the Nurburgring.
Supplied new in the UK to a Mr Breslin of Hertfordshire in December 2010, this C16 GT2 RS is 1 of only 16 cars supplied to the UK. This right-hand drive example was specified with top-tinted windscreen, cup holders, sound system and CD storage, carbon front wings, universal multimedia interface, floor mats and carbon centre console.

1991 Aston Martin Virage
The Virage was the first all-new Aston Martin for nearly 20 years. The factory had produced the limited edition Zagato and the V8 had been updated, but the Virage was the first new production car and the first to be produced under Ford’s ownership. One major item carried over from previous models was a 5340cc V8 engine, but it had been much reworked for the Virage, enabling it to meet ever more stringent emission regulations. The production Virage debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991, a prototype having been displayed at Birmingham’s NEC the previous October.

We welcome any inspection on this vehicle and prospective buyers should contact the office for appraisal options. This modern-classic is the finest example Silverstone Auctions have ever seen and should appeal to any collector of emerging classic cars from the 1990s.
This immaculate UK-supplied Aston Martin Virage has covered a mere 992 miles and boasts only 1 private registered keeper from new. Purchased new by a prominent businessman from the North-East of England, this example formed part of an exclusive private collection until 2014. Finished in Suffolk red with Magnolia hide, it is described by the vendor as “in stunningly original condition.” The paintwork is flawless and the interior presents as one would expect for such a low-mileage Aston Martin. The automatic transmission selects gears with ease and the driving experience is extremely smooth and refined.

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 old-guard ‘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 an air flow channel that generated enough down-force to offset any lift. This stunning F355 Spider is presented in the connoisseur’s choice of Argento Nurburgring with Black hood and beautifully contrasting Bordeaux leather interior which works very well indeed and suits the model’s sporting ancestry. Over the 22,000 miles travelled the interior and body of the car has stood the test of time well. The car boasts Tubi exhausts which give the car an impressive engine note and further brags the optional extra Challenge grille between the rear lights. It is shod with good quality Dunlop SP Sport 9000 tyres and the 5-spoke alloy wheels with yellow prancing horse centre caps which are virtually unmarked with only one or two light scratches. ww w. s ilv e rstone a u c t i o ns. co m

The car has been carefully stored and little used in the past five years, though during this time it has been regularly started and the engine warmed. Prior to this the car was in constant light use and received regular maintenance. This car is in fine order for the year and in keeping with the relatively low mileage. It is sold with a fresh major service having just been completed and received new cambelts, clutch and a fresh MOT prior to sale. We regret that it is not offered with its tonneau cover for the roof, nor could this cataloguer lower the roof when I inspected the car. It does however work as it should as confirmed by our vendor and R&D Automotive, leading independent Ferrari and Porsche specialists who know the car well. This Ferrari is accompanied by a host of documents including handbooks (lightly water-damaged), service book, manuals, a number of past MOT’s and sundry invoices.

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II Fixedhead Coupé
The Series II Jaguar E-Types that were produced from 1969 to 1971 can be identified by their open headlights, no longer with glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper with the tail lights now underneath, and the front indicators were larger and similarly repositioned below the slightly heavier front bumpers. The cooling was much improved helped by the enlarged ‘mouth’. Series II cars also feature twin electric fans and uprated brakes. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a ribbed appearance yet the original triple SU carburettors remain. The interior and dashboard were also redesigned, with flick switches being substituted by rocker switches to meet U.S regulations. The history of this E-Type Series II FHC can be traced back to its first owner, a Mr Peter Williams, who purchased the car in June 1970 from a Jaguar Dealership in London for the sum of £1,250! He was to keep the car for the next 12 years until he offered it to his brother, Mr M. Williams, who duly accepted and took ownership of the car. Work commitments overseas meant that the new owner didn’t get to drive his new purchase, and so ‘DCH 631J’ sat in his garage for 5 years without turning a wheel. Once permanently back in the UK, Mr M. Williams decided it was time to recommission the E-Type, and so had the sticking

clutch remedied along with other necessary work to get the car back on the road. Unfortunately on his second trip out, the engine overheated and holed a piston, so a complete engine-out rebuild was deemed appropriate and this was duly carried out by marque specialist, Derek Bullimore, at the cost of around £6,000. At the same time Mr M. Williams thought it best to have other work done on the car, and a considerable amount of further restoration work was carried out over a period of 16 months in the early 90’s. The car was then sold through the E-Type Centre, Warwickshire, to its next owner, a Mr J. Gardner in May 2000, who owned the car until our vendor purchased it from him in 2013. An E-type enthusiast at heart (having previously owned a Series III Roadster for 15 years) our vendor has had the car professionally resprayed and fettled in his ownership, and it is now presented beautifully in green with a green leather interior. Since photography of the car, the vendor has also replaced the rear registration plate with a square style plate.

The Testarossa was first seen at the Paris Motor Show in 1984. Its name derived from the 1957 Ferrari 250 GT which featured a 60 degree V-12 engine and went on to win many endurance races with legendary drivers such as Hill, Collins, and Gendebien. This high output engine featured red cam covers (instead of the usual black) and came to be known as the “Testarossa” which literally translates as “redhead”. In 1984, the name Testarossa was given to a car that went on to achieve many awards including “Design of the Year” and the “Car Design Award”. This acclaim recognized not only the aesthetics of the car but its technical accomplishments as well. It’s difficult to surpass excellence, particularly when compared with such an illustrious predecessor as the original Testarossa - a car which had already attained a very high level of performance, maximum speed, acceleration, and road handling. So how was it going to be possible to proceed one step further? In 1991, the answer came in the form of Ferrari 512 TR. The new TR represented a significant step up in Ferrari performance. With 41 more horsepower than its predecessor, the new 428 bhp engine shaved a whole second off the already impressive 5.7 second 0-60 mph acceleration. The chassis was extensively reconstructed, as was the 5 speed manual transmission ww w. s ilv e rstone a u c t i o ns. co m

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Roadster
The series III was the final incarnation of the wonderful E-Type Jaguar. Launched in 1971, it was only offered with the 5.3 litre V12 engine (in 2 plus 2 Coupé or Roadster) and now offered a longer wheelbase, larger and better brakes, as well as power steering - all as standard. This car is a genuine ‘barn find’ having been acquired new by our vendor’s Grandfather in August 1973. The car was always indoor stored before it changed hands to his son in April 1993 (our vendor’s Father). Sadly he passed away in September 2014 and it then became the property of his son, our vendor, who is now offering the car directly for sale. Our vendor’s late Father chose not to use the car at all in his ownership and so conciously put the car in to storage as a long term investment. He therefore had the car “properly immobilised”, including oil in the cylinders and put it in a brick built barn in 1996 with heating. In 1999 it was moved in to another barn on the estate, this time a wooden one, but stored inside a dehumidified air bubble car storage unit. It stayed there until these barns were acquired in October 2006 which necessitated a final move to a farm shed where the car was ‘uncovered’ late last year. The car was originally thought to have covered just 7,700 miles from new. However, over the last few weeks the original service

This work was diligently and carefully carried out by Tolman Motorsport of Warwickshire and mostly involved refurbishing the radiator, changing all fluids etc and rebuilding the seized front brakes - all of which is detailed on their invoice. The car today is therefore presented in very highly original order throughout having covered 107,740 indicated miles from new. All the interior is nicely patinated, the hood is in reasonably good working order, even the spare wheel and tool kit are present.

Unveiled at the Birmingham Motor Show in 1988, the Aston Martin Virage was the first all-new Aston Martin for nearly 20 years. Notably, it was also the first car to be produced under Ford’s ownership. The new car was hand built with an aluminium body, and retained many of the legendary Aston Martin styling cues, including its distinctive grill and front wing vents. In spite of its aluminium body, the Virage was a large and heavy car, so a 32-valve, 5.3 litre V8 engine was required to power the big Aston to 60mph in a reported 6.5 seconds. Just 1,050 Virage related models were produced in total, quite a low production number when compared to some of its predecessors.

Designed by John Berry and Peter Ibbotson, the BRA 289 was the first Cobra 289 replica to be produced in the UK and was built up on moulds taken directly from one of the original early 289s. Between 1981 and 1998 when production ceased, 260 cars are believed to have been built at the small Doncaster factory. During the latter days of production the car was known as the Tyler 289, the project having been purchased by Tyler Mouldings in 1996.
The black carpets are near new as is a quality, period correct, tonneau cover and full wet weather gear. The dashboard boasts correct period style Stewart Warner (SW) instruments and gauges. The power plant is the ubiquitous 3.5 litre Rover V8 fed through a downdraught Holley carburettor and emitting the classic, chest rattling, V8 rumble through twin stainless steel exhausts when given a prod.
The car offered for sale here today is chassis #070 (from 260) and was manufactured in 1989 using a 1967 MGB as the donor. This car therefore benefits from being tax exempt, and carried a period registration initially from manufacture until 1998 when it was married with a ‘289’ registration number to suit the car. Offered in excellent condition in the unusual Ferrari paint colour of Rosso Corsa, the car’s lines are incredibly similar to that of the 1962 AC 289 it emulates. The body is made of GRP which has taken the paint very well, save for one unfortunate blemish on the top of the offside wing and one or two small stone chips at the front. The seats are in black leather piped in red and are in excellent order, with only light signs of wear.

Despite a limited amount of paperwork, this stunning Jaguar is supplied with EU registration papers and must be seen and inspected to be appreciated. Unquestionably, this XK140 offers an exciting turn-key opportunity for its next owner and would require only very minor fettling to bring up to concours condition. It is with confidence that we state Silverstone Auctions have not seen a better one through our auctions and it even comes with extremely rare fitted Jaguar luggage, ideal for continental touring.

Offered here is an Austin Mini Cooper that was first registered on 28th July 1967, bearing registration ‘OML 276E’. In the ownership of our vendor since 1991, this was his first car upon passing his driving test at 17 years old, and was used as a daily runner for 8 months, before it was decided that a full rebuild was necessary. The ensuing restoration was to take 5 years to complete and during the cars’ first evolution it ran a 1293cc Swiftune engine, in respect of which there is a bill in the history file for £1,818! In this guise, our vendor entered the car into the BARC Speed Championship and regularly competed with ‘OML 276E’ at sprint and hill climb events all over the UK until the early 2000s. The bodyshell was restored in 2011 by respected Mini specialists, Somerford Mini, at a cost of an eye-watering £12,578. The repair work was extensive and included new inner sills, new windscreen apertures, new rear wings and a re-skin of the driver’s door. The roll cage was fabricated by Andy Robinson Race Cars to full FIA / MSA specification, before the car was finished in the period colours of Fiesta Yellow with an Old English White roof. Sitting on Mini Spares 10” Rose Petal wheels clad with Dunlop CR65 tyres, the braking system also received a lot of attention with the fitting of Tarox discs and Mini ww w. s ilv e rstone a u c t i o ns. co m

Spares 4-pot callipers, adjustable suspension and a Kent Auto Developments rear anti roll bar complete the package. The fuel tank is a 20 litre foam filled tank by Jaz. Since its completion in 2013, ‘OML 276E’ has only been used on 2 full track days at Silverstone GP and Rockingham, and 2 evening track sessions at Snetterton and Cadwell Park. Our vendor is now ready to pass on the reins of this fabulous car to a new owner who will have various options as to what to do with it and where to go. The car could continue to turn heads on track days, at sprints or hill climbs, return to the circuits or simply be enjoyed as a fast road car and weekend toy. If the new owners do plan to take it racing they would be well advised to make sure that the car complies with current MSA and FIA regulations. Currently on a SORN, this road legal Mini Cooper will need minor fettling to pass an MoT test. ‘OML 276E’ comes with a thick history file, documenting virtually every penny spent on the car by our vendor during his 24 years of ownership. A truly outstanding creation, Minis of this quality rarely come to market, making this an extra special opportunity for a new purchaser.

1962 Jaguar Mk.II 3.8
Registration: JSK 332 Chassis Number: P205499DN Engine Number: 1B3108-8 Year of Manufacture: 1962 Estimate (£): 28,000 - 32,000
As is well documented, the Mk.II has enjoyed legendary success on track and can still be a very competitive historic race car. Campaigned by all the top drivers of the day including Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk.II scored victories in saloon car races in the sixties and was also raced across Europe in the Tour De France and rallied in Monte Carlo. At the other end of the scale, Mk.IIs gained an infamous reputation as a capable ‘getaway car’ among the criminal underworld and the police also used them as motorway patrol cars. However, this svelte five seater saloon should best be remembered as a competent and powerful family car that was fabulous to drive, made all the right noises and looked great sitting on your drive. “Grace, Space and Pace” was Jaguar’s slogan at the time and the Mk.II certainly delivered.
‘JSK332’ was lavishly recommissioned by Racing Green Cars in 2008 under the instruction of the current vendor, with in excess of £8,000 spent, including new chrome wire wheels, a straight through exhaust system, Coombs style rear spats, a dog leg 5 speed Getrag gearbox and a louvered bonnet. After the mechanical work was completed the car was painted in the subtle Gunmetal you see today and we are told has only covered approximately 2000 miles since. The vendor informs us that the car drives really well, with good oil pressure and that the Getrag box is a pleasure to use.
The car on offer today is a 1962 car, presented in Gunmetal Grey with a fabulous red interior. The dashboard gleams, the headlining is immaculate, the red leather armchairs are just gently patinated as is the leather transmission tunnel and the carpets are definitely red. Why would you ever want to sit anywhere else? The overall impression of the car, Pirelli shod on MWS wires, sparkling Jaguar spinners and flawless bright work is very, very pleasing to the eye.

The Mercedes-Benz 190SL is a two-door convertible produced between May 1955 and February 1963. The 190SL closely resembled in its styling, engineering and suspension its big brother, the 300 SL, however, the 190SL did not use the 300SL’s purpose-built tubular space frame chassis, but was built instead on a modified, shortened saloon platform.
decision was made to sell. To a skilled craftsman this would be a far from daunting project. It is actually in very good condition for its age. It’s solid, with only light rust in places but not rotten. The red leather interior is almost completely salvageable with no cracks or tears in the seating if the restorer of this car wanted to retain the patinated look that is only achieved after 30 years or more...
The 190SL was powered by a 1.9 L straight-four engine which developed 104hp, however the 190SL earned itself a reputation for not running that smoothly which was due to the difficulty in tuning the twin-choke dual Solex carburettors. However, when set up correctly the 190SL is a joy to drive and will reward the driver with a relaxed driving experience. This late manufactured Mercedes-Benz 190SL is something close to 300th from the end of production. Sold new in Paris in 1962, the first owner kept it for eight years and it remains in single family ownership from that changeover in 1970 to today. It retains its first registration number from new, and is still registered in the name of only the second owner, despite passing through two generations of his family.

There is no soft-top roof, but importantly, the car is still married with its original hard-top and even retains some lovely unique features such as the clock in the lid of the glove box, rear over riders, and even its original radio. The official paint colour for this Mercedes is DB166, essentially a Blue/Grey colour perfectly suiting the contours and period of this car. The car has only Weber carburettors so we assume the original Solex carbs must have been removed (as was common) and their whereabouts are unknown. The engine is believed to be seized though, to be fair, no heroic attempts have been made to start it. Whilst relatively intimidating at first glance, we believe this to be a most worthwhile and manageable restoration project being as it is a solid basis from which to begin, in terms of not just physical condition, but its history also. Rarely do such opportunities present themselves.

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, predictably, 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. In the competition version, the XJ220C, another sports car ace, Win Percy, took victory on the car’s race debut in the BRDC National Sports GT Challenge. In the 1993 Le Mans 24 Hours John Nielsen, David Brabham and David Coulthard finished first in the GT class, though only for their XJ220C to be subsequently disqualified over a spurious technical infringement. Manufactured on the 1st of February, 1994 and first registered in the UK on the 10th of May, 2001, this left hand drive car was purchased by the current owner with a total mileage of 4,239 kilometers and w w w.s i lv erstoneauc ti ons.com

Introduced in 1998 and assembled in BMW’s US plant in Greer, South Carolina, the Z3M was designed to be a performance version of the Z3, featuring a revised body, that included new front and rear bumpers, wider rear wings and a different boot lid. Along with the styling cues, the 3.2 litre engine was lifted from the E36 BMW M3 (S50) and was capable of producing a reported 317 brake horsepower. In 2001, the Z3M Roadster was fitted with the latest evolution of the M-Sport engine. This unit was taken from the legendary and more powerful E46 M3 (S54). Only 73 right-hand drive cars were produced for the European market with the S54 engine, making them incredibly rare & collectable today.

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. Fitted with a 2.9 litre DOHC V8 engine with four Weber 40DCNF Carburettors that produced 255bhp, the 308 went from 0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 159 mph. In 1980, fuel injection was added to the 308 and power went down from 255 bhp to 214 bhp. However, two years later, four vales per cylinder were added giving quattrovalvole models 240bhp. The 308 was manufactured in both GTB and GTS forms from 1977 to 1985, before being replaced by the 328. This 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS was sold new by Maranello Concessionaires to a Mr J.R.C Smiley of London on 11th October 1979.

longer, sleeker and subliminally faster by contrasting colours. Appropriately the Cloud here is finished in the popular Sand over Sable but, in addition, the elongated effect is enhanced by a pair of very subtle red pinstripes running the full length of the waistline. This red pin-stripe is echoed on the shiny wheel discs and when set against the Pencil Line Whitewall tyres, creates a very pleasing effect. Altogether a very pretty car.
Construction was body-on-frame, which permitted special bodied versions, though the overwhelming majority were built with the standard Pressed Steel Company manufactured steel body shell. A lightweight aluminium based alloy was used for the doors, bonnet and the boot lid. The engine was a 4.9 L six cylinder unit with inlet over exhaust valves and twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957. Brakes were hydraulic and assisted by the Rolls-Royce mechanical servo and the suspension was independent coils at the front and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Twin brake master cylinders were incorporated from April 1956.

The AC Cobra can rightly be regarded as one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. With production figures of only circa 1000 between 1962 - 67 the legend was born. It was unlikely the Cobra story would have ended there with such an iconic status and Brian Angliss, the Autokraft owner kept production alive until 1996 acquiring the AC name and much of the original tooling. In December 1996 ownership was passed to Pride Automotive who continued production at Weybridge, Surrey under the name of AC Car Group Ltd. At the London Motor Show in 1999 AC’s star was the Cobra CRS (Carbon Road Series), a faithful evocation of the original but with carbon bodywork and a 5.litre V8 built by many of the original AC craftsmen.

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 world wide 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 it’s success at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967, as well as it’s appearance in the 1967 British film, ‘The Italian Job’, in which Minis and Mini Coopers play a key role in a bank heist. Built on the 9th June 1966, this example originally left the factory as a standard Morris Mini Cooper MkI.

In early 1935 Sir Arthur Sutherland, who had been persuaded to take the chair at Aston Martin, eventually convinced Bert Bertelli, the Technical Director and Head of Design at Aston since 1926, that despite the huge success of their racing programme and the popularity of the earlier sporting cars like the “T-Type, International, Le Mans and Ulster the company’s financial future could only be secured by concentrating on road cars. New cars appeared for Le Mans in 1936. They were two seaters broadly similar to the Ulster but with a longer stroke, 100 hp, 2 litre version of the well proven wet sump engine. The title 15/98 referred to the new type’s fiscal horsepower and rated power. A prototype short chassis four seater managed 82mph and for the first time it seemed the company had a chassis suitable for four passenger coachwork. In all between 1936 and ‘39, 176 2 litre 15/98s were produced of which 24 were Abbey bodied Long Chassis Tourers, Aston’s first luxury 4 seat touring car.

The original wet sump was converted by the factory in 1954 to dry, as this was regarded as advantageous on high performance engines preventing oil surge on fast corners. Whilst KMG was not built for competition the car took part in the first St.John Horsfall Handicap at Silverstone in July 1950 and the original programme is still with the car.

However, for most people, the desire to own a car so evocative of the 50s, with such purity of line has never gone away, and consequently over the last thirty years a number of talented engineers have lovingly crafted replicas as part of a small business, or often, for their own enjoyment. The Le Mans Car Company D-Type Replica offered here is one such.The original lady owner ordered this D-Type replica in March 1998 from the Le Mans Car Company, a small engineering business from Westbury in Wiltshire who specialised in building bespoke quality replicas and apparently, this was the last one made by them before they moved on to other projects. This replica was built entirely to the owner’s specifications and apparently she was, quite rightly, very involved with every detail, travelling to Westbury on a regular basis to see the car taking shape on the jig and then as a rolling chassis. The body is made of high quality glass fibre, painted in a lovely shade of British Racing Green, with some interior and engine panels made from brushed aluminium. The 4.2-litre XK engine is from the donor vehicle, a 1983 Jaguar XJ6, and was fully reconditioned

by the factory prior to its installation, as was the four-speed / overdrive gearbox. The inlet manifold and thermostat housing have been polished and the engine, which has proved to be very robust, reliable and economical, appears immaculate and free from oil leaks. Mechanically this car features a limited-slip differential, adjustable coil-sprung dampers, powerful up-rated brakes and the Goodrich tyres are virtually new. The seats are upholstered in cream leather piped in BRG with the carpets in matching British Racing Green. Both seats are fitted with a Willans 4 point safety harness and the steering wheel is a 14” Moto Lita with a wooden rim. The instruments are laid out in a similar fashion to the competition cars and the whole cockpit adds to the “racing car on the road” feel. Supplied with a tailored leatherette, two part tonneau cover enabling the car to be driven solo with the passenger section covered, resulting in much less buffeting at speed. To date, the D-Type has covered just over 10,700 miles and, up until 10,685 miles, had been driven only by the original owner. In her ownership the car was serviced regularly, maintained to the highest standard and kept in a heated and dehumidified garage. Currently taxed and MoT’d, this well cared for D-Type replica is offered with a V5C document. w w w.s i lv erstoneauc ti ons.com
Regarded by many as the last really pretty Ferrari, the 355 was launched in early 1994 and shared most of it’s dimensions with it’s predecessor the 348,. An increase in capacity from 3.4 to 3.5 litres and a new 5 valve head managed to produce 375 bhp. from the longitudinally mounted V8 at a spine tingling 8,250 rpm. The six speed manual gearbox with it’s much improved synchromesh combined with the instantly adjustable shock absorbers and extra engine power meant that the 355 was considerably more competent and enjoyable than it’s predecessor. This Left Hand Drive 355 GTS was supplied new to Msr.Martin Domicille on 14/02/1995 by Garage Francorchamps in Brussels, the renowned Ferrari dealership headed by legendary Grand Prix driver and close friend of Enzo Ferrari, the late Jacques Swaters. The initial specification included electronically variable suspension, air conditioning and six speed manual transmission. It is fitted with the 2.7 Motronic ignition system which produces a little more power and is less complex than the later 5.2 and, as a pre airbag model, sports the more attractive steering wheel.

Msr Martin Domicille remained the only owner until it was purchased by our vendor in 2014 and now shows a warranted mileage of 35,302 Km. The car looks fabulous in the classic Ferrari colours of Rosso Corsa and Nero leather and appears to have been immaculately maintained by its one owner.The indicated mileage at it’s last service (21/10/14) was 34,454 Km. and prior to that the full service history shows a further 5 cambelt services. At this last visit to the dealer the car enjoyed a full major brake and clutch service and the engine was removed to facilitate the change of cambelts and tensioners and a change of fluids. Whilst the engine was out the owner decided to take the opportunity to carry out a considerable amount of detailing bringing the car up to an exceptional standard. The results are stunning and viewing is recommended. The car is shod with matching Michelin Sport Tyres and comes with all the relevant vehicle and Sony documents in a leather wallet. In addition there is a car cover, two seat covers, steering wheel cover, a genuine Ferrari leather GTS roof cover, tyre inflator kit and a couple of sets of keys.

1978 Ford Capri 3.0 S
The Capri 3.0S is the ultimate evolution of one of the UK’s favourite sporting cars of all time, and certainly one of the most thrilling to drive and the example offered here today, by virtue of it’s mileage and outstanding condition, is a very rare find. CRW 987T was supplied new by Soans of Leamington Spa and is totally original in every way still wearing its original dealer number plates, ignition keys as supplied and, most importantly, documentation from Soans of Leamington outlining all work carried out by the Ford main agent in period. The mileage of 25,631 is warranted and is supported by previous MOT certificates and invoicing from Soans confirming what a pampered life this car has led from day one. The factory black body work is in stunning original condition with even panel gaps, tight shut lines and creak free bonnet, doors and tailgate.

The dash is pure Capri dominated by the rev counter and speedometer, all gauges appear to work correctly and during a brief run all indicated normal operating temperatures. Turn the ignition key and the Essex V6 bursts into life and quickly settles into a gentle burble. On the move there’s ample performance, the power delivery is smooth throughout the rev range and there are no ominous noises emanating from the engine, gearbox or back axle confirming what a very special Capri this really is. Finding another 3.0 S Capri like this won’t be easy. This one ticks all the right boxes, condition, mileage, low ownership, history and is sold with a new MOT. Capris are becoming very collectable, particularly the 3 litre cars, and you would have to go a long way to find a better one than this.
Internally the full pin stripe interior is in excellent condition throughout, retaining its suppleness and colour and the stitching and seams are even and tightly bound. Such is the vendor’s enthusiasm for his Capri that he has agreed to include in the sale a set of fishnet Recaros to complement the car although the purist may prefer to retain the original seating.

The 964 was a critical model for Porsche when launched in 1989. In order to survive the global recession of the time they had to display a reason to buy a specialist low production sports car and innovations such as power steering on their 911, as well as four wheel drive and ABS delivered the necessary tonic. The 3.6 litre famous flat 6 now gave a healthy 250bhp and when combined with the all new chassis and a retracting ‘Whale Tail’ - the customers maintained their loyalty to the brand.

1978 Ferrari 308 GTS
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. Offered from family ownership since 2003, this righthand drive 308 GTS was supplied new in 1978 and is a desirable carburettor example. Finished in the original Ferrari colour of Giallo Fly Yellow with complementing black leather interior, it has kerb appeal like no other. This GTS is well equipped with the optional 16” magnesium alloy wheels, air conditioning and a deep front spoiler. The car benefited from a professional respray in 2013 and some expert finishing and, apart from one or two small stone chips incurred in the 1500 miles since, it’s in excellent condition. The engine is good and solid with no unusual smoking, leaks or rattles. Likewise the gearbox appears to function well with the gears engaging cleanly with no synchromesh problems. The only blemish to note on the entire car is the wear to the drivers’ seat bolster, which is not an uncommon problem given the softness of the leather and is commensurate with mileage of around 86,000. This car has received regular maintenance from several trusted specialists, most notably Dick Lovett

Ltd, Hollingsworth of Ombersley (now The Supercar Rooms), and recently from the personal workshops of its privateer owner, himself a very competent mechanic and restorer with many past projects successfully completed. In 2006 at 72,000 miles the engine was professionally rebuilt with new valve guides, bearings, shims, gaskets, cam belts and tensioners and water pump. The engine and gearbox were separated and the gear selection bush was replaced and oil leaks rectified. Prior to auction, on behalf of the new owner, the vendor will service the car, replace the timing belts and tensioners, alternator belt, change the oil and filter and present the vehicle with a fresh MOT. The car is completely standard save for, in our opinion, the very sensible ECU electronic ignition upgrade which has been discretely mounted out of sight. The original distributor and coils are in full working order and will accompany the vehicle should the new owner prefer to reverse this change. This special Ferrari is accompanied by the original bill of sale, letter to the first owner from the supplying dealer, further correspondence and invoices dating back to the 1980’s and enough MOT’s to corroborate the mileage.

The sporting pedigree of the original E30 M3 is evident all the way from its race bred four cylinder engine ( designed to rev past 9000 RPM in race form) and dog leg five speed gearbox to those wide wheel arches, designed, not to look cool on the Kings Road, but to accept slick tyres of up to 10in in width. It has a design purity and simplicity of specification that hardly any modern car, and certainly not a new M3 can hope to match. Certainly today’s M3 may have double the power but it isn’t all about BHP. To really understand the M3 you need to get behind the wheel and drive one, and really drive it. Get hold of it by the scruff of the neck, give it some beans and you’ll be approaching automotive nirvana. Today the E30 M3, in any of its iterations, is a wonderfully tight and responsive little saloon car, handling brilliantly with a crisp turn in, very little roll and famously communicative steering, making it easy to imagine that you are behind the wheel of a Touring Car that, in its short life won a dozen saloon car championships across the globe and made it without doubt BMW’s finest car ever.

Does the E-Type Roadster need a general introduction? Ever since Enzo Ferrari famously described it as ‘the most beautifil car in the world’ when launched, we think you may well already be getting the drift. Following on from the highly acclaimed series 1, the series II was introduced in 1968 and only available as a 4.2, 6 cylinder Roadster or 2 plus 2 Coupé. Refined in all key areas including brakes, steering and handling - it is now widely regarded as the best driving E-Type of them all. This car was manufactured on 16th July 1969 as a manual left hand drive series II 4.2 Roadster finished in British Racing Green with Cinnamon leather upholstery and dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York. Returning to these shores in 2012 with all American documentation, the current Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms it retains the original engine, gearbox and body number so is offered as a matching numbers concours example.

A fantastic investment opportunity, with all the right credentials, to drive and enjoy this Summer.
The professional restoration was carried out over the last 2 years when the car was stripped to a bare shell for a complete body restoration. The engine was also stripped and rebuilt - including a re-bore, new crankshaft, new pistons and cylinder head overhaul.

The Lancia Flavia was produced from 1961 until 1971 and, as well as the saloon, the range eventually included Coupé and convertible versions designed by Pininfarina and Vignale respectively. Performance improved over the ten year period as the engine size increased, progressively, to 2000 cc. The car remained in production until 1970, when it was updated and renamed the Lancia 2000. The Flavia was developed by Professor Antonio Fessia in the late 1950s, and when production commenced, only the four door saloon was available for sale. These early models were powered by a 1.5L aluminium boxer engine driving through the front wheels and Dunlop disc brakes were fitted all round.

The MGC had the potential to be a very good selling sports car because it offered everything the MGB lacked and was very attractively priced. As the British Leyland Group took control the MGC was dropped in favour of the Triumph products that BL favoured. The MGC would have been in direct competition to the TR6.

The Mini Cooper was first introduced to the publc in 1961, and was an instant hit with enthusiastic drivers thanks to the foresight of John Cooper who was a designer and builder of Grand Prix and rally cars. He saw the potential for the Mini to become a competition and performance car. The Mini Cooper throughout it’s build life went through many stages of development and evolved into an extremely popular and collectable performance vehicle which was enjoyed equally both on the road and track alike.
It is also believed to be the first Mini Cooper with the registration plate commencing with numbers instead of letters making it rare and one of the original Mark1 Coopers. This example is in immaculate condition, comes complete with an MOT certificate to November 2015, and drives exeptionally well as might be expected following a complete restoration. Ready to be enjoyed by a new owner and must be an appreciating classic of the future.
The Mini Cooper offered here was manufactured in 1964 and is a Mk.1 presented in Classic green with a white roof and matching green interior. It was mechanically and cosmetically restored some 7 years ago and has only covered a mere 1000 miles since. It has the benefit of a 1420cc Cooper engine, fully rebuilt and set up by Ratt Racing Motorsport which, according to the vendor, cost £9000, and produces 126bhp at the wheels.

2012 Aston Martin Vantage GT3
Aston Martin was the dominant force in World Sportscar Racing in the late Fifties, winning Le Mans in 1959 with the factory DBR 1 driven by Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby. They went on to win the World Sportscar Championship in the same year, becoming only the second manufacturer to beat Ferrari at the time. This inspiration led the factory to return to World Sportscars Racing during the last decade, under the guiding eye of Aston Martin owner and Chairman, David Richards, through his world renowned Prodrive Racing Team in Banbury. Built in 2012 by Aston Martin Racing it was delivered to the successful and highly regarded Italian race team Villois Racing. They ran the car in the European GT Open Championship with great success with six wins and eight pole positions. It was mainly driven by professional drivers which is reflected in its overall exceptional condition and little usage. This Vantage GT3 can be run in several specifications, 2012 Homologated specification, 2013/14 specification or SGT specification. In its current set up its is basically a SGT Vantage GT3 but in lightweight, low drag and unrestricted with over 650bhp. The car is eligible to run in this years Le Mans supporting event the Aston Martin Festival race and would very much be a contender for outright winner. Should it be required to run in FIA specification it would

The bodywork remains in unpainted in carbon and is in fantastic condition commensurate with its little use (11 sprint races). The engine has 500kms of life and has the Aston Martin ugpgraded ECU and data logging to the latest specification and coding. It also has the latest endurance brakes with new wide body lightweight Brembo Endurance calipers with new wide annulus discs and pads. It has the lastest hi castor front geometry and latest revised bump steer rear geometry. The transaxle has approximately 500kms of life before its inspection. The full race results history is available together with the full life summary of components. These bespoke Prodrive built Vantage GT3’s are limited in numbers and at todays guide represents a colossal saving for a low miles example. It comes with a spare set of rims and possible race support from our vendors.

1999 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta 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 old-guard ‘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 it’s predecessor the 348, yet it was virtually a new car, as it’s 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 down-force 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. Offered here is an original, UK delivered, right hand drive F1 Berlinetta that has covered just 24,206 miles from new. It has been meticulously maintained over the

Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model since 1954 when the landmark 300SL was unveiled.The larger, third generation SL was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre V8 engine (350SL) mated to four-speed automatic transmission.The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension all round - double wishbone and coil springs at the front and semi-trailing arms and coil springs at the rear. The power assisted steering was Daimler-Benz’s own recirculating ball system. Braking was by discs all round, ventilated on the front. The range grew to two models when the 4.5-litre V8 (450SL) derivative arrived the following year, and to three when the 2.8-litre straight-six (280SL) appeared in mainland Europe during 1974. The latter became available in the UK from October 1980 and remained in production until 1985.

It has covered a total mileage of 55,450 miles from new and is presented in highly original order. This sunroof-equipped model is believed to be one of one hundred and seventeen examples produced for delivery in all nations requiring right-hand drive. Currently, there are only 48 right-hand drive cars listed with the Carrera Registry, however, far fewer than that were delivered to the UK as many were sold to Japan and Australia.
is complete and untouched from new. The car was last taxed in 2008 and it has been SORN since. From 1975 until 2008 the car was maintained exclusively by respected Porsche specialist Chris Best from Two-PlusTwo. There are five service stamps in the book and many invoices for work carried out over the years. The only mechanical alteration to this vehicle has been the addition of stainless steel exchangers for the heating system.
This example represents an exciting restoration project for any Porsche collector, very rarely do cars of this nature and originality come onto the market. The body shell has never been welded and the car has never been restored or seen paint. The beautifully thin Lime Green Metallic finish has faded almost down to bare metal and is a joy to behold in detail.

Introduced in 1989 as a replacement for the 328, the 348 production line ran until 1995, when the 355 was introduced. Late in 1993, after 3 years of production, the 348 was revised with enhanced styling changes and a power lift from 300 to 320bhp from its 3.4 litre V8. At the same time the suspension geometry was revised, which was considered to vastly improve both the handling and ride quality of the car, particularly when coupled with the factory enhanced chassis rigidity. Concurrently, Ferrari also introduced a brand new Spider version. This car is one of only 1022 left hand drive 348 Spiders but is incredibly special in that it has only travelled 3,470kms from new (equivalent to 2,156 miles). Sold new by Ferrari Lille to known Ferrari collector, Monsieur Jean Becquet, it remained with him for just 12 months before passing to another collector who kept the car for 20 years and travelled just 1,200kms in this time. The car was never registered in this period and remained a one-owner car until it was sold to our vendor as the second keeper in 2014.

The Type 34 was built from September 1961 through to July 1969 and was the flagship model of the entire VW line up in the 60s. It was the most expensive VW available, the fastest, and the most luxurious. It was fitted with such standard equipment as a cigar lighter, an electric clock, locking steering column, front & rear vent windows, variable wiper controls and a luxurious interior. It also had the distinction of being the only VW fitted with built in fog lights and to have the option of an electrically operated steel sliding sunroof. Manufactured with a beautifully hand crafted body on a standard Type III chassis and running gear, it shared the same engine and transmission, suspension and frame, making it easy to service and maintain.
Under the ownership of our vendor, the majority of the brightwork has been re-chromed, including the front & rear bumpers and window trims. ‘MHE 222F’ sits on 15” EMPI 914 alloys wheels, a brand that is a firm favourite within the Vee-Dub scene. There were a total of 42,505 Coupes built, all at the Karmann factory in Osnabruck, Germany and unbelievably, there are known to be only about 1000 in existence worldwide today. Stored in a dry garage and only driven in good weather, this Type 34 comes with bills from previous owners, a UK V5c and will have a fresh MoT in time for the sale. The car is ready to be enjoyed by it’s new owner this summer.
Offered here is a beautiful Type 34 finished in Lotus White with a black roof. The car was painted approximately 2 years ago, and still has a lovely finish. Our vendor informs us that he purchased the car from a fellow VW enthusiast who attended meets and shows around the UK.

Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa at the 1984 Paris motor show, this marked the end of production for the Boxer that had been the flagship 12 cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa paid homage to the great 50’s sports racer that originally bore the name which when translated means ‘Red Head’, because the rocker-box covers were painted red. The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the centre of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car which resulted in the weight distribution being 40% front and 60% rear, thus achieving excellent cornering and road holding ability. The Testarossa was produced with 16’’ 5 spoke ‘Star’ alloy wheels and disc brakes were fitted all round with 309mm discs at the front and 310mm at the rear. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor, 6 inches wider and with an increased wheelbase to 2550mm, it was some 2.5 inches longer than the Boxer which allowed for more leg room. The raised roof height in the cabin made the driving position more comfortable, especially for taller drivers. In addition the temperature inside the cockpit was reduced as twin radiators were mounted in the rear. The Boxer had a single front mounted radiator with plumbing from the bonnet to the engine which was behind the seats this made the cabin very hot, especially on a warm day. ww w. s ilv e rstone a u c t i o ns. co m

The Corniche was a development of Rolls-Royce’s Silver Shadow and was manufactured between 1971 and 1996. It was assembled and finished in London at Mulliner Park Ward as a continuation of the 1965 Silver Shadow coupe and 1967 drophead, with the Corniche name applied in March 1971. The car used a silky smooth 6.7 litre Rolls-Royce V8 engine, mated to a 3 speed automatic transmission and featured independent suspension with coil springs and hydraulic self-levelling. During its lifetime a total of only 1,306 would glide smoothly out the doors of Mulliner PW.
Prior to the auction it will be treated to a full engine bay detail and interior treatment. Judging by the quantity and comprehensive nature of the service records, this Corniche has clearly been carefully maintained and enjoyed by its previous owners.
The Rolls-Royce Corniche offered today was sold new in the UK and boasts a fantastic history file. The odometer reads 74,670 miles and is supported by a plethora of bills, receipts and correspondence from previous owners. Finished in Seychelles Blue with cream leather hide, this desirable slim chrome bumper model has recently benefited from a bare metal repaint and presents very well. The power operated hood is finished in matching cream and functions correctly.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III, introduced in 1963, was the final development of the Silver Cloud line first offered in 1955, and was regarded by many as the finest in the company’s history. Rolls Royce obviously felt the same way as the III was proudly advertised as “The Best Car in the World”. Powered by the same stalwart 6.2 litre all alloy V8 that powered the Cloud II, but with a bit more power and a little less weight the Cloud III was a sprightly performer. Even after the introduction of its successor, the new monocoque Shadow, the Cloud III chassis and engine combination continued in production alongside the new car for a couple of years at the request of a number of traditional coachbuilders. With it’s smooth and efficient power plant, aristocratic looks and majestic presence the Cloud III would become the first choice for celebrities and landed gentry alike.

2001 BMW Z3 M Coupé
Very much an oddball and all the better for it the Z3 M Coupé follows no model lineage and wasn’t replaced when production ceased, but what a wonderful hiccup in the corporate product line this car was. The M Coupé housed the fabulous straight six engine from the M3 in a smaller body based upon the two seat Z3. If you’re in the market for a performance car that looks like nothing else, and goes like the clappers, but think a TVR may let you down, then this could be the car for you. The main distinguishing feature is the engine used. The S50 engined car (321 bhp) was made between 1998 and 2001 utilising motive power from the E36 M3 and the later S54 engined model (325bhp) was manufactured between 2001 and 2002 and adopted the power unit from the E46 M3. Apart from the engine the main differences between models are the drive by wire throttle, DSC system and externally, shadow chrome wheels. Finished in Estoril Blue Metallic with contrasting blue leather interior, we are informed by the vendor, that this particular S54 facelift car has led a very pampered existence having only covered a warranted 57,500 miles from new and is in superb cosmetic and mechanical condition.

Buying Guide
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. 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. How fast will the auctioneer go? The auctioneer will aim to sell approximately 90 lots of automobilia and lifestyle per hour and 25 – 30 vehicles per hour.
Catalogues Catalogues can be purchased online or by contacting our catalogue subscription department (+44 (0)1926 691141). Please ensure that you bring your catalogue to the sale as entry is by catalogue only. 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) and 17.5% of the hammer price for automobila and lifestyle items. Buyer’s premium is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate on the day of the auction. Payment Full payment for all Lots must be made to SAL by 5:00pm the next Working Day. Payment can only be accepted in GBP. For security reasons, payments by Debit or Credit card (VISA/Mastercard) will only be accepted where the cardholder is present. Credit Card Payments are subject to a 1.76% surcharge. Business debit and credit cards are subject to a 2% surcharge. There is a floor cash limit of £5000. Items cannot be removed until paid for.

VAT VAT at the prevailing rate will be added to the Buyer’s premium which will be invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis. 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 Sunday 24th May 2015 where paid in person or unsold, between 09.00 and 14.00. All remaining lots will be removed by our transport agents, E.M Rogers, at the Buyer’s expense in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. A motor vehicle removal fee of £150 plus VAT which includes 3 days storage. Thereafter fees of £10 per day plus VAT will be incurred.

Automobilia Automobilia must be collected directly following the sale or between 09:00 and 14:00 on Sunday 24th May 2015. After that time uncollected purchased lots shall be removed to a Silverstone Auctions storage facility at the Buyer’s expense in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. Agents wishing to collect on behalf of a Buyer must provide written instruction from the client before we can release the lot(s).

value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). 5.4 Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer.

In particular, parts may have replaced or renewed and Lots may not be authentic or of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot may not be visible and may not be original or may be damaged, as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material. Given the age of many Lots they may have been damaged and/or repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in good 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.

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.

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 10% for automobilia and lifestyle goods

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.
