The Rolex Explorer II model 1655, was introduced in 1971. The movement was either the 1570 or the 1575, and essentially this particular model was a GMT with a fixed stainless steel bezel.

Steve McQueen may have worn a TAG Heuer Monaco wristwatch in the film Le Mans, but in real life he wore a Rolex Explorer II, model 1655 which makes the Explorer II very popular amongst motoring types today. The case is 40mm Stainless steel with a solid case back and fixed bezel. The bracelet is an oyster type in stainless steel.

never been restored as there was nothing to restore. It was made ready for the road in December 2014, and shortly after enjoyed its first ever MoT with 1,348 miles showing, and now presents in fantastic and almost unused condition.
In 1974, North American regulations forced a raised ride height and polyurethane-covered bumpers onto the pretty profile of the B GT, a redesign that was to split opinion, to say the least, amongst those who admired the earlier car’s style and balance. With hindsight, and given the inflexibility of the US requirements, the federalised MGB was actually a reasonably successful styling job compared with its Italian rivals, such as the Fiat Spider and X1/9.
It comes with all its original documentation including the initial bill of sale, an invoice for ‘Protectol’ rustproofing service costing £112.00 when new and the original service book with one entry on 26th April 1982 indicating a mileage at that point of 984.
First registered on 17th September 1980, the last year of production, this amazing, rubber-bumpered MGB GT really represents a “stepback-in-time. Quite remarkably, it’s had only one registered owner and had covered just 1,499 miles from new at the time of consignment, however we imagine that may be just over 1,500 when it arrives at the sale.

Imagine walking into an MG Dealer at that time and being told that the new MGB GT in your choice of colour scheme wasn’t available but “Sir, why don’t you have a look at our low-mileage demonstrator in striking Brooklands Green with the latest Orange and Brown ‘deckchair’ trim”. The deal was done, you drove the car home and placed it, as you would a Dinky Toy, in your metaphorical cupboard where it would remain, in toy terms “Mint and Boxed” for 30 years. Well it’s not a Dinky Toy, it’s real and it’s here and you can drive it.

The original Spencer King designed Range Rover was one of the British Motor Industry’s proudest success stories. When it went out of production at the end of 1996, it still looked as fresh and forwardthinking as it did back in the 1970s when one was exhibited in the Louvre as an example of “exemplary work of industrial design”. The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis, similar to the contemporary Series Land Rovers. It utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive, four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the legendary Rover 3.5 litre V8 engine. A well-balanced combination of form, function and power, the Range Rover could be adapted to a myriad of different uses. The vehicle became hugely popular with Britain’s police forces and Lancashire Constabulary had taken to the Range Rover as its motorway patrol vehicle of choice and was one of the first regional forces to use the car in 1971. In the days, when the emphasis was on keeping the carriageway clear the Range Rover was unbeatable and, if used properly, had the ability to tow a 38 tonne HGV, providing the brakes weren’t locked on. Accident damaged cars were physically dragged onto the hard shoulder. Unusually, this Range Rover has the dual distinction of being an early production Suffix ‘A’ car and formerly a Lancashire Constabulary motorway patrol vehicle. A letter from the acting fleet manager of Lancashire Constabulary dated 15th October 1998 states the following:

“Dear... In respect of your enquiry relating to Range Rover STF 172L (NB. the car’s former registration number) whilst in Police Service. The vehicle was purchased by Lancashire Constabulary in September 1972 at a cost of £2,267.37, then spent a further 3 years, approximately in police service on motorway duties. In 1975, the vehicle was decommissioned from service and sold at public auction to Parkfield Motors, Liverpool for the sum of £316.25...” Accompanied today by a valid MoT until September 2016, FRA 747L has excellent mechanicals, the legendary 3.5 V8 starts on the button, and settles to a low burble. The underbody we are informed is in very good order, but one or two aluminium reactions on the body will need to be addressed soon, although this is a classic Range Rover issue. Showing just over 72,300 miles and passing its recent MoT without any advisories, the history file is substantial and detailed. We conclude therefore that this significant example of British motoring and policing history offers the purchaser a dual opportunity; to be restored as a police vehicle for car shows and filming, or as a superb base for a truly splendid Suffix A restoration.

1942 FORD GPW WW2 JEEP
These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep. This vehicles chassis number is GPW42584, dating it to August 1942 and we believe it was used by the 51st Defence Battalion, part of the 1st All Black American Marine Corp, and has seen service in the South Pacific Ellice Islands.The renovation work was carried out by Colin Easson Motors and began on 7th July 2014 with a complete strip down and removal of the engine, gearbox and body. The chassis was bead blasted along with the body and engine and turned out to be in superb condition and only required painting. The T84 gearbox and engine were completely rebuilt using, where necessary, genuine Ford parts.
Registration: YVL 707 Chassis Number: 42584 Engine Number: 639660C Willys go devil Estimate (£): 18,000 - 22,000
This excellent and rare, Ford built, GPW Jeep was imported into the UK in 2014 and was then fastidiously restored by Colin Easson Motors and is now a consummate piece of military history. A USB drive is included with the photographic history documenting its restoration. Every nut and bolt received attention and the detail is fantastic, even down to the period tools and heavy-duty tow rope attached to the vehicle. Every rural car show in the country now has a section for Military Vehicles and with WW2 re-enactments and the prestigious classic car meetings all clamouring for 1940’s Jeeps, this stunningly well-restored example could keep you busy all summer.
The body tub was rebuilt following bead blasting, including replacement of all strengthening bars and replacement of wood strengthening. A new wiring loom complete with light switches was installed and the choke, throttle cable, and handbrake cables(all Ford Parts Circa 1942) were also replaced. Considering the manner in which the Jeep was conceived and its role in warfare, it’s remarkable that most of the finest classic car collections will include a Willys or Ford WWII Jeep, making the restored example offered here a candidate for serious consideration should one of these yardstick cars have, so far, eluded you.

The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint Coupé and used the shortened floor pan from the Giulia saloon. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial projects. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered ground-breaking styling features for the era. Often considered as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars with its five-speed gearbox, all round disc brakes, independent suspension and torquey engine they were very advanced for the time and have the capability to embarrass many of their modern counterparts. Built in 1972, this original RHD, GT Junior 1600 was first delivered on the 12th of February that year to Kempton Park, South Africa. Many years later, in 2005, this Alfa was imported to the UK via Holland having spent most of its life in the warm dry South African climate.

manual. The car was repainted at some stage in dramatic ‘Giallo Prototipo’ which still looks great to this day with only negligible imperfections visible, the interior is in excellent shape and the engine bay is very tidy. Originally a 1600cc, the car has been fitted some time ago with an uprated 1750cc Alfa Romeo Nord Twin Cam engine, often regarded as the most torquey and finest driving engines in the Alfa Romeo Twin Cam range. Having driven many of these cars this consigner is inclined to agree! Amongst other notable features on this car are the original and very sought after ‘Hellebore’ steering wheel and the fitment of twin Weber carburetors. The 105 Series Alfa Romeos are some of the best looking and driving classics you can acquire for a modest outlay at the moment, and this example fits the bill perfectly. Driving a seventies Alfa is fun, and driving a little Sunshine Yellow, GT Junior must be particularly so. I can’t think of a better way to brighten up your day!
The car has clearly been well maintained which is reflected in the extensive history file that not only includes past invoices but also hand written notes by previous owners in the accompanying workshop

1990 PORSCHE 944 S2 CABRIOLET
In 1989, the second series of the 944 was introduced, powered by a 210 bhp normally aspirated, double-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0 Litre version of the 944S engine, which was the largest four-cylinder engine in production at the time. The 944S2 also benefited from a revised transmission and the gearing was tweaked to better suit the torque and peak power characteristics of the 3.0 L M44/41 powerplant. The S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the 944 Turbo model and this was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the bumper and bonnet profiles would merge smoothly, a design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on production cars from the early nineties. In 1989, Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet, a first for the 944 line that featured a cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg in Germany, creating a very good looking car with excellent dynamic qualities that was rewarding to drive and was well received by the motoring press. A truly exceptional example of this often undervalued Porsche, E944CAR has been maintained and cherished throughout its life. Its most recent owner has acquired the vehicle twice, once in 2001 and again 2014. Since 2001, the car has been a regular Porsche GB Owners

Club Concours entrant. Its shining moment came this year when it won overall at the Porsche GB National Concours at Althorp House and, as one would expect, the car remains in this stunning condition throughout. A huge history file documents all servicing, Concours adventures and previous MoT certificates. Despite having covered 87,000 miles over the last 25 years, the car appears in virtually showroom condition. The engine is fully detailed and is simply a joy to behold. All panels present beautifully and the Guards Red paint retains a superb shine. The front of the car is protected by clear film to prevent stone chips. The interior is hard to fault and the leather is in lovely condition. The hood is unmarked and the tyres are hardly worn. There are a large number of stamps in the original service book and in 2014 it had a huge service, including remedial engine work on the timing chain, tensioners and water pump. Supplied with all books, tools, tonneau cover, wallet and its original tyre compressor, we urge all potential purchasers to come and inspect this vehicle as it is an example of true 944 excellence. Offered without reserve, this Porsche would be an ideal addition for any collector or enthusiast with very high standards.

1983 RANGE ROVER 2 DOOR CLASSIC
The original Spen King designed Range Rover, was one of the British Motor Industry’s proudest success stories. When it went out of production at the end of 1996, it still looked as fresh and forwardthinking as it did back in 1970 when one was exhibited in the Louvre as an example of modern sculpture. The car was renamed the Range Rover Classic when the MKII model was introduced in the Autumn of 1994, but demand for the earlier car continued even then. This was a car that had real international appeal. It sold in markets as diverse as Japan and the USA, Canada and Australia - and demand usually exceeded supply. Well over 300,000 Range Rovers had rolled off the production lines by the time the first iteration of this legendary model was laid to rest. There may be large numbers of more modern Range Rovers around, but that doesn’t mean to say that the original first generation model with its familiar boxy shape is lacking enthusiastic supporters. Quite the contrary in fact, those numbers are growing and early Range Rovers are enjoying unprecedented success on the used car market. This sympathetically restored 1983, 2dr Classic Range Rover, fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox, is presented in its original colour of Shetland Beige. Chassis number ‘SALLHABV7AA/136071’ according to its Heritage Certificate, had the build dates 4 May - 6 June 1983 and was dispatched from Land Rover on the 9 June 1983 to its ordering dealer, the somewhat grandly named “Automobile Palace” in Llanfair, Anglesey. Showing an unwarranted 29,000 miles, the condition of this car must be seen to be appreciated. This 3.5 V8 Classic Range Rover was recently returned to rude health at a cost of circa £28,000 by AWS

competition, classic and race engineers. We understand that every aspect of the car was carefully restored and naturally the engine, gearbox, axles, suspension and brakes were all rebuilt using renovated existing parts or the correct items from specialist suppliers. New panels were applied paying particular attention to fit and panel gaps, the chassis received the same attention as the rest of the car and the engine bay was tidied. New, correct specification, carpets were fitted as was a new headlining, however the seats were in excellent condition so were simply cleaned and replaced. Finally, the car was professionally painted in its original Shetland Beige. There are a few photos of the restoration included in the history file (there may be some more at the time of sale) and no relevant invoices of the work are available however anyone spending ten minutes looking closely at this Range Rover will be in no doubt about the quality of the work and the time and care lavished on this splendid eighties icon. We are told the car drives without fault and in the vendor’s words (a Range Rover enthusiast) is “ probably rebuilt to better tolerances than Land Rover ever achieved”. In the history file, there are some old MoT certificates, currently three photos of the restoration, the Heritage Certificate, a key fob from ‘The Automobile Palace’ and some original documents, including a 1985 Range Rover parts and accessories booklet, Leycare Supercover booklet, and a Unipart Land Rover Parts sheet. This stunning Range Rover will impress even the most hardened of enthusiasts, as it certainly did with us.

1988 KVA GT40
The Ford GT 40 is one of the greatest racing cars, from one of the greatest racing periods. Offered here is a KVA replica that was first registered on the 1st May 1988 to Alexander Trotman, the then Chairman and CEO of the Ford Motor Company. He subsequently sold it in December 1992, to a fellow Ford director who was a knowledgeable engineer and enthusiast for all things Ford. Documentation in the concise history file shows that he was not a fan of the original power train set up of a Rover V8 and Citroen gearbox, so at considerable expense he went about changing it in 1993. A Ford 351 fed through a set of Weber IDFs, now sits proudly in the rear and is expertly mated to a purpose built ZF gearbox costing circa £16,0000 in 1994. It is quoted in the history file that “the car now has the same specification as the winning GT40 Chassis 1075”. A breakdown of the ratios can be found in the history file. Sadly our owner passed away without seeing the fruition of his labours on his beloved GT40, but he did leave behind all of his engineering drawings and build notes and they are in the file. Fortunately the car was purchased by our equally enthusiastic vendor a couple of years ago, and after some careful research set about the last stages of bringing this striking car back to life. With the car mechanically sound, he spent just over a year focussing on the bodywork, gently modifying the KVA shell to keep the appearance as original as possible. The venting has been shaped to allow more

effective cooling and new contours have been added to guide the airflow into air ducts on the rear clamshell, as a result of which the rear arches are now symmetrical. A new petrol tank was then fabricated and made to fit snugly, the interior has been trimmed and the door cards have been covered in leather. He then spent a considerable amount of time making sure that all the panels fitted correctly and the ‘shut lines’ were spot-on. When he was completely satisfied with his extensive labours the car was expertly finished in the famous Gulf Racing colours of Powder Blue (PPG12163) and Topaz (PPG60812) and bears the number ‘6’ and the correct decals replicating ‘1075’. ‘1075’ is perhaps the most famous of the Gulf cars, having won six times internationally, with two of these being at Le Mans when it was shared by Rodriguez and Bianchi in ‘68 and Ickx and Oliver in ‘69. A great deal of time and money has gone into this project, drawing on all the connections and experience of its recent owners. Just prior to the sale the engine was tuned by a V8 specialists and the carbs were balanced and set up. It’s now running well, is MoT’d and ready to drive away. With its externally accurate replication of ‘1075’, and the degree of engineering integrity in the build, this is a very desirable GT40 replica and with other, lesser, GT40 recreations being advertised at prices in excess of this guide we feel it represents excellent value for money.

October 1975 saw the debut at the Paris Motor Show of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem, the Ferrari 308. Over 20,000 examples of all engine types and sizes were produced from 1975-1989. This new car was constructed on a traditional steel tube chassis, but its beautiful body was firstly manufactured in GRP and then after two years, Scaglietti started making GTBs in steel. The 3-litre, four-cam V8 was more or less unchanged until March 1981 when Bosch fuel injection was added in place of the 4 doublechoke Webers, although the final drive was altered on these cars to give similar acceleration to a carburettor car. Both versions have their supporters, but the 308 is generally accepted as one of Ferrari’s alltime greatest road cars and prices are most definitely on the rise. Delivered new to its first owner in 1982, this beautiful Ferrari 308 GTSi is finished in Rosso Corsa with a Nero leather interior and red carpets throughout. Purchased by our vendor from Modena Ferrari on the 25th May 1989, this car has been well and truly pampered by him ever since in his almost 27 years of ownership. He has always followed ‘best practice’ with these cars by making sure that they were warmed up properly before use, and the air conditioning run periodically and slowly turned down before shutting off. The oil has been changed as a matter of course between services and he has respected the Ferrari’s little idiosyncrasies, ensuring this car has always remained in tip-top condition.

The service and maintenance history that accompanies this car is comprehensively filed and is supported by a raft of MoT certificates dating back to 1986. Along with the maintenance that has been carried out, the wheels have been kept in great condition and are shod with the correct period Michelin TRX tyres for which they were originally designed. This 308 GTSi is supplied with a full complement of original Ferrari tools, jack, all handbooks & manuals, 2 spare keys in their original pouch and a fitted car cover as well as the original radio which sits happily where it always has. The lines of the 308 have aged well, and this example in a classic colour combination looks every inch the quintessential 1980’s Ferrari. The paintwork is splendid, the engine bay is tidy and the interior is in excellent condition with just the light patina of a well-loved sports car. With a UK V5c bearing cherished registration ‘6994 RH’ and MoT tested until 24th June ‘16, this well cared for and recently belted & serviced 308 is now ready to begin the next chapter of its life after nearly 27 years with our vendor. Even when photographing the car, reputedly one of only 67 GTSis in right-hand drive, it was surrounded by many admirers, and this cataloguer can confirm how ‘tight’ and well setup it felt on the road.

Registration: TBC Chassis Number: 9113111750 Engine Number: 613807 Estimate (£): 42,000 - 48,000
Since the prototype was unveiled in 1963, the Porsche 911 has gone on to become perhaps, the most famous sports car of all time. A classically Germanic blend of engineering excellence and austerely beautiful design it remains to this day in real terms, the only supercar that can be reliably used on a daily basis. In 1973, it had already been 10 years since the 911 was first introduced and its spirit was alive and well. This year brought some major innovations, including the characteristic shock-absorbing bumpers, the ‘ducktail’ and ‘whale-tail’ and a completely galvanised body. In the same year, one of the most influential models in 911 history was introduced: the Carrera RS.
Offered here we have a 1973, left-hand drive US Specification 911T running on Bosch K-Jet fuel injection, unlike the Euro-spec 911Ts which were on carbs, so for once, a 911 built to a US spec is more powerful than its European siblings at 140 rather than 130bhp.
Most manufacturers struggle with torsional rigidity when trying to convert their coupés into convertibles (the other way around is often easier), and Porsche were no exception in the early sixties when trying to let the breeze into their new 901 (later 911). The solution was to build the car with a roll hoop as part of the chassis and when this was streamlined and cosmetically enhanced it worked well, and the result was an attractive “half-convertible” that was stiff and handled predictably. At a marketing meeting to decide a name for this new concept, Cologne dealer Walter Franz threw “Targa” into the hat conjuring up images of their success with an open-top car in the hard-fought Targa Florio under a glorious Sicilian Sun. Whilst considering this possibility, someone pointed out to Harald Wagner, the marketing director that “targa” was Italian for “shield” and signified strength and safety, which obviously appealed to the Teutonic sense of responsibility, and so the name was adopted and is still in use today.

Produced from 1992 until 2003, the Ferrari 456 and later 456 M are front-engined ‘Grand Tourers’ in the true tradition, and were an overdue replacement for the outdated front-engined 412 which had been the company’s premium four-seat V12 car for some years. The name 456 refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimeters and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 secs and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be a very reliable unit. It’s looks are smooth and understated, and distinctive external features include a small grill with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops (removed on the 456M), a motorised undercarriage spoiler that begins its deployment above 65 mph and pop-up headlights, making this the last Ferrari to do so. The model was warmly received by press and enthusiasts alike before the 456M was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti. Purchased on the 30th of April 1997 from Maranello Concessionaries Ltd and finished in the attractive combination of Grigio with a Red leather interior, this lovely 456 spent the first 10 years of its life on British roads, before being exported to Cyprus in the late 2000s.

1984 RENAULT 5 TURBO 2
In 1980 Renault introduced the new R5 Turbo as a pure homologation special to compete in Group 4 racing and international rallies. The 5 Turbo was based on the production Renault 5 Alpine, but Renault engineers scrapped the standard front-engine, front wheel drive layout in favour of a mid-engine, rear-drive set up. In 1981 Jean Ragnotti and his co-driver Jean-Marc Andrie won the Monte Carlo Rally outright for Renault, and the following year Ragnotti won the Tour de Corse. In 1984 Group B homologation was sought for the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo to enable it to contest the World Rally Championship. Ragnotti added another Tour de Corse win with the 5 Maxi Turbo in 1985. After the first batch of 400 road cars had been made to satisfy Group 4 homologation volume requirements, a second generation, known as the Turbo 2 was to follow.
new thermostat, radiator, water pump and fan belt. The engine was brought back to life with an injection system refurbishment carried out by specialists KMI Injection. The injection metering unit was stripped, rebuilt and refitted with 3 new fuel pumps, fuel accumulator, fuel pipes, fuel relay, injectors and a warm up regulator. As well as the mandatory service items such as air filter and oil filter, all the electrical components were changed including spark plugs, coil, HT leads, distributor rotor and cap. The fuel tanks were removed and cleaned with new fuel level senders fitted. A new set of Michelin TRX tyres were fitted and, as you would expect, the car now runs and drives exceptionally well. Too much work was carried out to list in full, but suffice it to say that nearly £10,000 was invested in this Turbo 2 to ensure that it is mechanically sound.
This 1984 Turbo 2 was brought to the UK when it was only a year old in 1985, and has had only four owners in total. The third owner purchased the car in 1988 and owned it for the next 26 years until 2014. He used the car sparingly for the first 11 years, then put it away in storage for the following 15. The current mileage stands at 89,000kms (55,000 Miles) and a file of previous MoTs confirms this mileage to be correct. Our vendor bought the car in 2014, and immediately wasted no time in getting it fully recommissioned, sourcing a number of rare parts carefully from “5 Turbo” specialists in France.
Externally, the car can only be described as being in ‘unmolested’ condition and the paintwork is still factory original, although some of the French lacquer has made a bid for freedom! Whilst not a ‘Concours Queen’, this definitive Group B pocket rocket has patina in droves and a huge amount of character.

1966 LOTUS ELAN S2 SE EX PETER SELLERS
The original Lotus Elan (Type 26), was first introduced as a roadster and replaced the elegant, but unreliable and costly to produce Lotus Elite. It was the first Lotus road car to use a steel backbone chassis with a fibreglass body and in the early days, Elans were also available in kit form for home assembly but predictably that didn’t last long. As is often the way, the Elan evolved through a number of iterations before manufacture ceased in 1973. These developments mainly concerned comfort and civility but all through its life the essence of the Elan didn’t change. A technologically advanced DOHC development of Ford’s proven ‘Kent’ engine, bored out to 1558cc (commonly known as the Twin-Cam) provided the propulsion, whilst cutting-edge features such as all-round disc brakes, fully independent suspension and nimble rack and pinion steering provided agility and handling that was simply amazing compared to the opposition.

Colin Chapman proudly announced in the launch literature that “We wanted to build you a fun car..”; a brief he achieved with vigour thanks to the fact that his unequalled talent for vehicle set-up was never more prevalent than in the Elan’s performance. Exciting paintwork colours were introduced such as Carnival Red, Pistachio Lime Green and the delectable Lotus Yellow and the Elan became the ‘Darling’ of the High Street in the mid-sixties. The Series 2 (S2) appeared in 1966 and featured a number of cosmetic and detail improvements over the earlier car and the Special Equipment (SE) model featured centre lock wheels and electric windows. ‘SAR 57D’ is a 1966, Elan S2-SE and was first registered in July of that year. It has been enjoyed by three previous owners and the vendor, and has an indicated mileage of 65,611 which we cannot verify but may well be correct as the car has been in dry storage and SORN’d since August, 2005.

However, we suspect that the main interest in this Elan will be in its first owner, a certain Peter Sellers and according to the V5, the car was delivered to him at 37 Panton St, Haymarket on 22nd. July 1966. There may be a few people who have never heard of Peter Sellers- but it will only be a few. He was a legendary Actor and Comedian as well as being a talented Singer, Director and Photographer, who sadly passed away in 1980. In terms of Acting and Comedy he is regarded as being in the top 50 in the world at both, ever. His body of work is too vast to list here but Dr Strangelove, the Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau and the Goon show have all had an influence on British society. Girls played a major part in his life, he was married four times including Britt Eckland (64-68) and Lynne Frederick (77-80), and during the sixties and seventies was frequently seen in the company of the world’s most beautiful women. Perhaps less known was his passion for cars, having owned dozens, and never missing a photo opportunity with his new toy, whether on four wheels or two legs. Which makes it strange that we can only locate one picture of him in this car, popping up from underneath the closed tonneau cover and about to come out with some piece of wisdom in the voice of “Bluebottle” (Ask your Dad). We hope that we may soon have access to a file of photographs containing some more shots of him in this car with Britt Eckland by the time of sale, however naturally, we can make no guarantees. Whether this little white Elan interests you as a motoring project or a piece of Movie Memorabilia, please come and talk to us.

1993 FERRARI 512 TR RIGHT HAND DRIVE
Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa (F110) at the 1984 Paris Motor Show, marking the end of production of the legendary Boxer that had been the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa (Red Head) paid homage to the great 1950’s sports racers that originally bore that name, referring to their bright red rocker box covers. The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the centre of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car resulting in the weight distribution being 40/60 front and rear, almost an ideal balance in terms of road holding and steering response. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor, some 6 inches wider and 2.5 inches longer at 2550mm, allowing for more leg room and combined with the raised roof height in the cabin made progress a little more comfortable, provided you could see the corners of the car, which you couldn’t. Production of the 512TR commenced in 1991 with deliveries to customers in 1992 and was effectively a re-engineered Testarossa, although Ferrari were keen that it was regarded as a new model. As well

The power of the 4.9 Litre, 48 valve, flat 12 was increased to 428 bhp from 380 with a similar improvement in torque, and with the benefit of a 30kg weight reduction on the earlier model, 0-60 times fell from 5.3 to 4.9 seconds.

2002 ASTON MARTIN DB7 VANTAGE VOLANTE
Offered here, is a DB7 5.9 litre V12 Vantage Volante Automatic, supplied new in January 2002 by Aston Martin dealership Stratton Motor Company Ltd. of Norfolk. This very fine example is finished in the desirable combination of Titanio Grigio with a Pacific Blue leather interior, matching Wilton carpets and hood and features the rare, special order, original factory-fitted, carbon fibre fascia panels. This car has covered approximately 28,000 miles and has always been well-maintained and serviced. The fully complete leather-bound book pack contains a service interval record that shows a healthy mix of stamps from Aston Martin and marque specialists. There is a good collection of invoices and old MoT certificates going back to 2006, helping to verify the mileage. Our vendor is an Aston Martin enthusiast and patently fastidious, as in 2014, within a month of buying this low mileage car, he spent £8,308 on thorough servicing, new brakes and the renewal of many perishable components. Six months later he spent a further £2,700 doing similar things. Having used the car sparingly but wanting to maintain it in the manner it deserves, our vendor has enjoyed a number of European driving trips where he says the Volante has performed superbly.

Equally at home on long Continental trips or winding ‘B’ roads, the effortless performance and incomparable touring qualities of the Vantage Volante shine through and the five-speed automatic gearbox is well suited to such a fine GT car. We all know what has happened to the values of earlier DBs, and despite being produced in reasonable numbers we feel the DB7’s looks will prove timeless, and it will become more and more desirable to collectors and enthusiasts alike, the Vantage Volante even more so. An Aston Martin photographed in a naval dockyard, next to a coldwar submarine with a Union Jack flag fluttering away nearby - very atmospheric and the perfect illustration that in engineering design terms ‘form’ can follow ‘function’ with stunning results. Coincidentally the submarine was named ‘Ocelot’, and in the world of Big Cats “an Ocelot is smaller, more nimble, quicker and considerably more rare than a Jaguar”. Not that we would dream of making the comparison!

The fabric hood has been looked after and operates as it should. The originally supplied leather hood cover and its bag are present and correct, as is the original Aston Martin umbrella. The car is offered for sale with the private registration ‘S5 CXO’ and a fresh MoT until 13.04.16.

Launched in 1969 as ‘The car you always promised yourself’, the Capri was Ford Europe’s response to the mighty sales success of the Mustang in America. To garner sales interest, Ford relied heavily on motorsport in the 1970s and soon an RS 2600 Capri was commissioned and built to compete in the European Touring Car championship. However, BMW had bigger ideas and introduced the more powerful 3.0CSL and stole a march on Ford on the track. In response, Ford Advanced Operations got the go ahead in September 1973 to build 248 Capri RS 3100s to homologate the car for the E.T.C.C. and the motorsport public were treated to some very special racing in the 74/75 season as both manufacturers showed scant regard for cost, both on and off the track. The Essex 3.0 V6 was over bored to 3091 cc giving 148bhp and fitted as standard to the road car, along with suspension modifications, RS four spoke alloys and a shallow front splitter with an enormous rear wing added to the already comprehensive RS2600 standard spec. The world recession slowed sales of the RS3100 road car, which was only built in right-hand drive for the UK market, and by July of 1974, 50 of the unsold cars were sent to Australia (also a right-hand drive market), to be sold. This particular car, chassis number 10799, was originally finished in Sebring Red and sold new in the UK. A car that is well-known to the RS Owner’s Club, this example was purchased in 1981 by Dennis

Sellers, ex-chairman of the RS Owner’s Club. Mr. Sellers was also parts manager for Manchester Ford RS dealer H&J Quicks Ltd. Subsequently, he sourced all new body panels, unique to the RS 3100, and took the car off the road in 1985 for restoration. He had Macclesfield motor bodies replace the inner and outer front wings, bonnet, slam panel, lower cross-member, radiator panels, battery tray, sills, A-posts and more. All panels were original Ford parts and were spot welded to an exacting specification. He also sourced new old-stock light trims and brightwork. Following this vast amount of work, the car was sold to respected Ford RS engine builder Ric Wood as a complete, but unfinished project. Ric stored the car in his heated workshop before it was sold to the current owner after some 20 years in storage. The current owner then: “had the relatively easy task of finishing off the car. The end result is we think the best RS 3100 in existence. It is a museum quality car, which can only appreciate in years to come, as the rarest of all the RS Fords.” The original engine received a complete rebuild by Ric Wood and has been rolling road tested to 180bhp. Having completed only running-in mileage since completion, the condition of this vehicle has to be seen to be believed and any RS expert is encouraged to come and inspect the quality of this restoration. We feel this car could be a regular entrant into future concours competitions and would be a welcome addition to any Ford collection.

Introduced in 3.8 litre form in May 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a major sensation when it first appeared, with classic smooth lines, great looks and an amazing, at the time, top speed of 150 MPH.
it was recommissioned in March 2012, the MoT showing a mileage of 70,637. The car was again MoT’d in 2013 with a mileage of 70,684 and has subsequently covered less than 20 miles.
With 265 bhp and a huge weight saving of over 500lbs on its immediate predecessor (the XK 150), William Lyons had created one of the all-time most beautiful cars ever to be produced by Jaguar. The first evolution was the introduction of the 4.2 litre engine, fully synchronised gearbox and greater legroom to accommodate six foot plus drivers. This is often regarded as the ultimate driving E-type, and even now a well-sorted example is a sensational driving experience with a sense of occasion that’s hard to replicate at any price in a classic car.
Earlier this year the car was once again awoken and fully recommissioned by Jagtech Limited, Jaguar Specialists with the engine being fully rebuilt to exacting manufacturer’s tolerances by E-type engine specialists, West Riding Independent Ltd at a cost in excess of £7,000.
This original UK RHD example, was bought by a Mr JMC Shand and first registered on the 2nd April 1965. Mr Shand was a well-known race and rally driver - particularly driving Jaguar MkVIIs & XK120s but also Lotus lightweights in the 50s & 60s. The car subsequently passed to Mr. I Willis of Washington, Tyne & Wear, before being bought by the current owner in 1984. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 62,000. Between 1984 and 1990 it covered approximately 8,600 miles and all of the MoTs for this period are available. The car was taken off the road and fully restored in the 1990s - and subsequently stored in a dehumidified garage until

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

1967 ALFA ROMEO GT SPRINT VELOCE
The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint coupé and used the shortened floor pan from the Giulia saloon car. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for the famous design house and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial efforts. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered ground-breaking styling features for the era. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce was similar to the original Giulia Sprint GT, however it featured modifications to the engine, providing a small bhp increase and significantly improved torque. It also featured subtle exterior and interior changes, the most notable of these being the redesigned front seats with a more sporting bucket shape and externally there were revised bumpers, wheels, badging and a different grill. Built for just two years, the Veloce is one of the rarest models in the 105 series and regarded as one of the most collectable models, second only to the fabled and costly GTA. This gorgeous car was built September 1967, and first delivered in RHD specification to Switzerland finished in Dutch blue before almost immediately being dispatched to Cyprus. It remained in Cyprus until 2014, when our vendor purchased the car and as soon as the deal was done he set about a full bare metal restoration. By this time, the car had already been repainted in Alfa Romeo ‘Nero’ and the decision was made to retain this colour for the re-spray, a wise decision indeed as the black finish truly suits the car.

The engine for the Lotus Cortina began its life in 1961 when Colin Chapman commissioned a twin-cam version of the Ford Kent engine and bored it out to give 1,558cc. Whilst the engine was still being developed, Ford asked Chapman to fit the engine to 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 homologation. Chapman accepted the challenge and the Lotus Cortina was born. Ford supplied the bodyshells, whilst Lotus handled the mechanical and cosmetic changes. This involved installing the 105 bhp 1,558cc engine into the cars, together with a closeratio gearbox. The rear suspension was altered and lightweight alloy panels were used, along with lightweight casings for the gearbox and differential. The model was to dominate saloon car racing for the Ford factory as it evolved throughout the 1960s and was driven by many stars of the day, including the legendary Jim Clark. Declared manufactured in 1966 on the V5c, this Lotus Cortina Mk1 has a very interesting story from the word go...... Previously under the long term ownership of a chap called ‘Dusty’, a motorcycle enthusiast and Hell’s Angel, the car was finished in black and had a brown vinyl roof and was bearing registration ‘TMP 86S’. A part exchange that included a trike, a Ford Anglia and cash was enough to secure a deal between Dusty and the would-be new owner, a Mr P. Edwards. Upon purchase, Mr Edwards decided to strip the car down and it was discovered that written in chalk on the chassis were the words ‘1989 Donington’. After some delving and letters exchanged with Rikki

Nock at the Lotus Cortina register it was discovered that this car was probably originally manufactured around November / December 1965 and was the 2,065th built. However, in 1977, due to an accident, it was re-shelled with a genuine ex-experimental 125E Lotus shell sourced directly from Ford. There is evidence that the shell was originally painted red, as per all motorsport or experimental Lotus Cortinas, and has experimental features. As a result of the accident, the DVLA gave it a 1977 registration ‘TMP 86S’. Obviously, the new owners were delighted that there was a story behind their new purchase and naturally wanted to apply for an age-related plate from the DVLA. After much back and forth, and again with help from the Register, the car was granted a new 1966, age related, registration ‘FHJ 246D’. Contained within the history file are all the photographs whilst the car was undergoing a full restoration, which included the bodywork, engine and mechanicals and it was finally finished in Ermine White with the classic green stripe. The condition of this car today is simply stunning and it is as clean underneath as it is on top. Supplied with a staggering amount of documented paperwork (X4 large files), including press cuttings from when the car was featured in the Lotus Register Magazine - issue 1 and Classic Ford magazine, July 2000, this fantastic Lotus Cortina is ready to continue its illustrious story with its next owner.

1952 JOWETT JUPITER CONVERTIBLE
Jowett Cars Limited of Idle, Bradford manufactured a two/three seat sports coupé, the Jupiter, from 1950 to1954. Based on the highly successful Javelin Saloon, which was Britain’s first completely new post-war car, the Jupiter retained the horizontally-opposed engine, torsion bar suspension and much of the running gear from the Javelin all housed in a completely new aluminium body designed ‘in house’ by their Chief Bodywork Designer, Reg Korner. The Jupiter’s chassis, made of chrome-molybdenum steel tube, had been designed by Eberan von Eberhorst, then working at ERA, who brought the design with him when the ERA project was shelved. The first Jupiter was unveiled in March 1950, and won the approval of the motoring press and customers alike. It achieved significant competition successes, with perhaps the most notable being a record breaking class win at the 1950 Le Mans 24 Hours and then repeating the feat in 1951 and 52. Hardly surprising, considering that the input from ERA had resulted in a torsionally stiff chassis which, when combined with the 1486 cc flat four’s excellent power output, was the ideal formula for success in long-distance racing. There followed a period when the Jupiter was seen as an attractive and fast means of transport which was also able to perform well in club races and rallies

In post-WWII Britain, steel allocation to manufacturers was based on export performance, and Jowett cannily aimed the Jupiter at the American market hoping to fill the gap left by MG, and happily it was a success with its elegant styling and swooping lines. Jowett eventually sold the factory to International Harvester for tractor assembly, however a total of around 900 Jupiters had been built with the last Mk.1a finding a home on the 17th.of September,1954 Offered here is Phil Greens’s,(Jowett’s ex-chief test driver) own Jupiter Convertible. He worked for Jowett between 1951 and 1953 and the history file contains a published account titled, ‘’My time in Jowett Cars Experimental Department’’. In 2014, when Phil was 85, his son decided to re home the Jupiter as his father admitted to be getting a little too old to enjoy her. It has been restored to a very good standard and is very well known in Jowett circles attending many club events. It was used on the first ‘Jupitour’ to Le Mans in 2000. Prior to that, the restoration was conducted by the highly respected Dennis Sparrow with the bodywork restored by Reece Brothers.

The original Mini had three major UK updates, the Mark II, the Clubman and the Mark III. Within the range there were a number of variations, including a Traveller estate, a pick-up truck, a van and the Mini Moke. From 1960 to 1982, a commercial (Quarter Ton) panel van was offered and was built on the longer Traveller chassis but without the side windows. It proved popular in 1960’s Britain as a cheaper alternative to the car as it was classed as a commercial vehicle and, as such, carried no sales tax. A set of simple stamped steel slots served in place of a more costly chrome grille. The Mini Van was utilized by small businesses, delivery drivers, the Police and the AA alike. It was hugely adaptable, reliable and, of course, distinctive.

In 1996 Ferrari introduced the 550 Maranello in a bid to revive their fabled line of grand tourers, and the 550 quickly proved to be an overwhelming success. Six years later, in 2002, they introduced the 575M Maranello, which brought about a host of healthy updates to make an incredible car even more potent. Increasing the displacement of the V-12 by 250 cubic centimeters, resulting in a total of 5,748 cubic centimeters and brought a healthy increase in power and torque, giving the 575M a top speed of 202 mph. The front end was slightly revised with newer headlights, a revised air intake and front spoiler, and the weight distribution was improved to 50/50. Buyers also had the opportunity to outfit their new car with an F1-style gearbox, which proved to be a very popular option. To help rein in the increased performance, the 575M was also fitted with larger brake discs. Inside, the interior was modernized and refreshed with an updated dashboard, trim, and steering wheel, amongst other minor updates.

Offered with a current MoT, we believe this 575M is the perfect everyday ‘supercar’ and offers superb value given the rapid rise of 550 and 575 asking prices. We welcome all pre-sale inspections on this Ferrari and the engine bay and interior are a joy to behold. V12 motoring at its finest.

1975 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR III CONVERTIBLE
Supplied new by Charles Follett Ltd, and purchased in 1997 by the current vendor, this 1975 Jensen Interceptor Convertible Mark 3 has been an eighteen year labour of love. To fully appreciate this special car we need to know a little about its owner. He currently owns three other Jensens, is a prominent member of the Jensen Owners Club and is, modestly, very knowledgeable about the Marque. This particular car repaid his efforts this year by winning the J.O.C. ‘Concours d’Elegance’ Silver section. Around three years ago this car was subject to a full body restoration to a very high standard. Taken back to bare metal, the shut lines and panel gaps were laboriously adjusted, the panels ‘flatted’ to within an inch of their life and the shell was then painted in striking Nightfire Red Metallic. During the years prior to the re-spray, a vast amount of work had been undertaken by the vendor at various times as his other projects permitted.The engine and gearbox were naturally rebuilt, as was the front and rear suspension, the braking system and the steering rack. All the fuel lines were replaced, as was the fuel pump which now has a spare in parallel in the boot in case of a failure, and fuel feed to the carb now comes over the bell-housing avoiding the problems of heatsoak to the under-bonnet pump and making hot starting much less of a lottery. In addition, a new stainless-steel exhaust was tailor made and fitted and the underside of the car was then carefully Waxoyl’d.The engine bay was re-wired, and everything put back neatly using new or refurbished components and the whole area is dominated by a large chromium plated air-filter which sits atop an Edelbrock carburettor (the original is available and will be with the car at the time of sale).

Sat back on its refurbished GKN alloys and new tyres, the final job was a luxurious full re-trim in acres of Magnolia leather and quality carpet, making the interior of this car a very special place to be.The big 7.2 litre V8 burst into life at the first turn, made all the right noises and was almost turbine smooth with no unseemly knocks or rattles. All the dashboard gauges appeared to work correctly and the vendor informed us that all the electrics, including the power roof, do what they are supposed to do which, given the nature of the man, is no surprise. Only allowed out on dry days, this Jensen has patently led a very sheltered recent life and is displaying an unwarranted 34,629 miles. The car is accompanied by a large history file which includes the original factory Handbook with the chassis number (9919) inside, a copy of the original factory Check List, copies of the period factory Warranty Records from the Jensen Motor Company in Birmingham and even old sales invoices from 1978. In addition, there is a Statement of Origin from Jensen Motors, a rare original Jensen Sales Sheet and every invoice during its current ownership. Interceptors have for some time been languishing in the Doldrums in financial terms, no doubt as a result of the potentially ruinous cost of a full restoration, however, things are changing now and they are following other exotica in a Northerly direction. Compare this fabulous seventies convertible with an Aston of the same vintage and it seems to me like stunning value.

1962 MORRIS MINI MINOR
Perhaps the most instantly recognisable small car in the World, the Mini, was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors at their Longbridge and Cowley plants from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered to be a British icon of the 1960s. Its space-saving front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the area of the car’s floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. The vehicle is, in some ways, considered to be the British equivalent of its German contemporary the Volkswagen Beetle, or the Italian Fiat 500. In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T. This ground breaking little car was conceived as a direct result of the fuel shortages following the 1956 Suez Crisis when petrol was rationed in the UK and sales of large family cars slumped, whilst the market for German made ‘bubble’ cars boomed. Leonard Lord, the head of BMC, reportedly disliked these German cars so much that he vowed to remove them from the UK streets and design a ‘proper miniature car’ as a replacement. Sir Alec Issigonis was invited to put pen to paper and the result was the Mini. Everyone loves a Mini, and most people have owned one at some point in their lives, and part of the human condition is to pine wistfully for a part of one’s past that one remembers through

the proverbial ‘rose-tinted’, which is probably why there is an ever increasing demand for early Minis in original, unrestored condition. ‘TSL 950’ certainly fits this bill very well and is genuinely in pretty good condition throughout, although some surface corrosion is appearing in places. This matching numbers example, was first registered in May 1962 and is finished in its original colour scheme of Smoke Grey with a Dark Grey interior. Rarely for a Mini of this vintage, a mere 17,520 miles is currently showing on the odometer, which the car’s appearance suggests may well be correct but can’t be corroborated with the available paperwork. The car has been with its present owner since October 2013, forming part of his private collection together with four other Minis. The accompanying history file contains the BMIHT certificate, a purchase invoice, driver’s handbook, V5C registration document and a number of expired MoT certificates, the earliest issued by a Brighton garage in 2005 with an odometer reading of 17,500 miles. This is an honest, early Mini with a very low indicated mileage and will make someone very happy.

The Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced in 1950 as a multi-variant utility vehicle, known as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus (depending on body type). It was devised as an evolution of the Volkswagen Type 1, the original Beetle. The first generation of these versatile vehicles (named the T1) were produced with distinctive split-screens (‘splitties’) from 1950 until 1967. Only two models were originally offered, the Kombi and the Commercial. The Microbus was added in May 1950, joined by the Deluxe Microbus in June 1951. Presented here is a German-manufactured 1966 VW Microbus Deluxe 21-window ‘Samba’. This bus was manufactured just one year before the end of true T1 manufacture. Its all-important M-code (03N 056 2412 434470 7052192) is present and correct for model type (also showing it to be LHD, with cargo doors right, an 8 seater and with full middle seat). This M-code also correlates to a correct chassis number. Originally supplied Beige Grey over Titan Red, it left the factory on the 3rd November in 1966 but is actually classed as model year 1967. This bus has obviously been much cared for and maintained over the years. It comes with numerous invoices and paperwork documenting its more recent history. Unfortunately, there is no early history present.

The chassis is said to be in fine condition and free from rot or rust. Previous owners (recorded as only 3 including our vendor) have sought to make subtle but sensible improvements to the usability of this 49 year old vehicle. Marque specialists have been utilised to upgrade the engine (now a 2180cc Type 1 engine with twin carbs, an oil cooler and an electric fan) giving more power and torque and the particularly smooth gear-box action has been further enhanced with a bespoke engine support bar to improve gear shift and traction. It now has the benefit of an IRS suspension conversion at the rear and servo-assisted brake discs at the front. It’s had some recent work to the rear brakes and comes with a new MoT until 13.10.16. Inside this Samba, the interior has been finished to a very high standard, whilst retaining period features such as the Golde sunroof. The tastefully appointed blue leather upholstery with matching carpets work very well with the white dashboard, and there is a full width rock & roll bed, a full width buddy seat and individual driver’s and passenger seats, all with seat-belts. This genuine ‘Samba’ is the perfect balance between 60’s camper-van cool, VW enthusiast credibility and real-life modern drivability. It’s fast enough but not too loud, long-legged and easy to drive, comfortable with good ride quality, and is just waiting for its next trip!

2003 BMW Z3 M ROADSTER S54
The BMW Z3 was BMW’s first mass-produced roadster, and the first new BMW model to be manufactured in the United States. The original Z3 began production in September 1995 as a ‘96 model year, with the earliest engines being the 1.8 and 1.9,l and a 2.8 engine joining the line-up later in 1996. Following this, in 1998, BMW launched the M Roadster (Z3M). 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 righthand drive cars were produced for the European market with the S54 engine, making them incredibly rare & collectable today.

The MGA was a sports car produced by the MG division of The British Motor Corporation from 1955 to 1962. It replaced the older “T-type” cars and represented a complete styling break from the, effectively pre-war, older vehicles. The A was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car at that time, and was duly replaced by the MGB in May 1962. During World War II, a large number of American army personnel fell in love with British Sports cars, and consequently following the war and during the 1950s, many were shipped back to the USA and order books at MG, Triumph and Austin-Healey were overwhelmed by orders from ‘across the pond’. This UK-supplied right-hand drive MGA Roadster, was specified new in the desirable colour of Orient Red with a black leather interior and was purchased by a gentleman in the American Army and subsequently shipped back to the USA when he returned home.

Over the course of two years between 2012 and 2013, this charming 1500 Roadster was returned to its former glory and treated to a comprehensive restoration to original specification. The body was removed from the chassis and the engine and gearbox were fully rebuilt. As a testament to the quality of the work, the car was awarded ‘Best in Show’ at the Central America’s Gathering of the Faithful (GOF) Concours competition. This is one of the largest MG get-togethers in the Midwest and over 100 MGs were entered into the competition. Since completion, only 3,200 miles have been covered and the car is reported to be in fine driving condition, attracting admiration wherever it goes. Supplied with a good folder of bills and receipts for the restoration, all side screens and tonneau, and some pictures of the restoration. A UK registration document has been applied for at the time of cataloguing. Offered today at a fraction of what it would cost to replicate this restoration, this MGA Roadster is a fine tribute to its former owner, who clearly lavished the car with love and investment over the years.

The car was completed at Stuttgart, Zuffenhausen in July 1956 and supplied new as a Right Hand Drive model through AFN Limited in Isleworth. Registered in the UK on the 01.11.1956, it was retained by its first owner, Mr R. C Tatchell of Surrey until November 1972. Two further changes of ownership took place during the late seventies and eighties, eventually ending up in the hands of a Mr. Baciu from Newark. After many years of daily use on English roads the car was eventually laid up in the mid 90s. Following 14 years of dry storage and 3 years of exhausting restoration we are proud to be able to offer this exceptionally rare car on the open market for the first time in over 25 years. With a history file dating back to 1956 containing hand written letters from AFN Porsche, a full invoice and photographic portfolio as testimony to its £200,000 plus, nut and bolt restoration this car should be carefully considered and is the perfect purchase. Fully matching numbers, including the bonnet and engine lid stamped with the correct numbers (347).

The Porsche 911 has featured consistently in the top ten cars of our generation. With a motorsport pedigree unsurpassed by any other car with true production underpinnings, it’s not surprising the 911 has endeared itself to the world. Coming of age at the beginning of the seventies, with wins at the Daytona 24hrs and the Targa Florio, they have never stopped winning since and cinema goers worldwide became familiar with the distinctive shape as the car of choice for a number of top stars. For 1972, the 911 had two major revisions, the most significant being an increase in capacity to 2341cc (known as the 2.4) but remained on carburettors, and externally an aggressive new front spoiler was incorporated below the bumper. This original RHD UK delivered, Porsche 911 T finished in Light Yellow, was built in December 1972 and first registered January 1973. It was optioned from new with the Factory ‘S’ Upgrade which included the more sporting features of the ‘S’ model such as the sports bucket seats and the famous Fuchs Alloys (as opposed to the factory steel wheels) along with other more subtle features such as chrome finishing trim around the wheel arches and a more detailed oil gauge.

The successor to the successful Land Rover Series I was, unsurprisingly the Series II, which remained in production from 1958 to 1961. It was available with 88” and 109” in wheelbases, normally referred to as the ‘SWB’ and ‘LWB’. This was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover’s styling department - Chief Stylist David Bache produced the familiar ‘barrel side’ waistline to cover the vehicle’s wider track and the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used on current Land Rovers. The Land Rover was the product of continuous evolution and refinement throughout the fifties and sixties with improvements in every area including stability and a tighter turning circle. It was a period in which Land Rover took the lead in the emerging market for fourwheel drive vehicles. As a tough, reliable mobility platform, countless organisations came to depend on Land Rover vehicles to get personnel and equipment into the most challenging situations...and then safely out again.

www.s i l versto nea ucti o ns.c om
The story behind the Jaguar XJ220 is an inspiring one. Professor Jim Randall, the head of Jaguar’s engineering department, started the ball rolling by sketching out some ideas whilst on a Christmas holiday in the 1980s. It was the stuff of fantasies - V12, 4WD, slippery body with ground effects. Together with colleagues in the ‘Saturday Club’ at Jaguar (so called because they met out of hours and at weekends to work on unofficial pet projects) they toyed with the concept until Jaguar started getting genuinely excited by the idea and official plans were put in place to build what was to be the fastest ever road car. The Birmingham Motor Show in 1988 saw the unveiling of the powered concept with the design featuring a V12, fuel injected, 48 valve 530BHP engine delivering its output to all four wheels. Ultimately, the use of the V6 allowed the chassis to be shortened, although the proportions of this car are still truly impressive. The engine sits behind the two seat cabin, with a tiny boot available behind that. The styling is heavily influenced by the need to cool the highly tuned engine and also to provide sufficient downforce to keep the car steady at the 217mph top speed. To say this is a very very special Jaguar is somewhat of an understatement, we are told by the vendor that chassis no 220693 was built by TWR Jaguar in Oxford in 1991 before being dispatched to Brunei having being ordered by the Royal family. The car covered very little mileage in the intervening years and was repatriated back to the UK in September of 2002. According to records at its first MoT in the UK in July of 2002 it had a mileage reading of 1,412 and as befitting a car of this nature the car then became the property of flamboyant champagne dealer before becoming the property of our vendor. There’s no doubt about it, this car is as visual as it is all about power. It may be 20 years old, but this Jaguar looks like it’s ready to take on a McLaren P1! Having owned this car for a long period of time the vendor informs us that the driving experience can only be described as totally addictive if you are a petrol head. Turn the ignition key, hit the starter button and behind your head the Group C derived V6 bursts aggressively into life, harsh metallic whips of sound lash wildly from the engine bay, it’s a noise straight from the Le Mans pit lane.

speed it becomes equally addictive to lift off the accelerator and listen to the frenetic mixture of turbo waste gate chatter. Continuing to feed power through the gearbox only results in more drama as it reaches the limits of its abilities before the brace of mighty turbochargers reach full compression and the seductive noise dissipates into an aeronautical gale as vast quantities of air are manipulated around the high-downforce body and through the engine. Make no mistake this car has the looks to match, the Jaguar Metallic Green paintwork is absolutely stunning from any angle thanks to the fact that this particular XJ220 was the subject of a hugely expensive glass out repaint in 2007 as its former years in Brunei had done nothing for this big cat’s external coat. It was also decided at the same time that an internal re-trim was in order; the nett result is a car that looks better than the day it left the TWR factory. The milometer currently shows a speedo reading of just 5782 miles and is supported by MoT certificates dating back to 2002. In late August this year, JAZ 220 was returned to Don Law in Staffordshire who is the world’s leading authority on these cars for its 24-month service. This service included the removal of the engine and transmission, replacement of belts, clutch, all fluids and filters etc. At the same time whilst the engine was out they took the opportunity to replace the fuel tank, pumps and fuel hoses. With some additional work, setting the car up and a fresh MoT until August 2016, the bill was just a little shy of £21,000. Other than trips to the MoT station this car has had little use over recent years and the vendor now feels it is time to pass the enjoyment of owning this incredible machine onto somebody else who will maintain and cherish it in a similar way.The distinctive personal registration ‘JAZ 220’ is staying with the car where it belongs. Only 281 of these Jaguar icons were ever built and they are mostly dotted around the World in private collections so it makes all the more sense to buy one whilst you still can.

The 612 Scaglietti was the replacement for the 456, and is larger and more spacious with serious presence, but still displays the deftness of touch of the legendary House of Pininfarina. As a mark of respect for their decades-long working relationship, Ferrari named the 612 after the legendary Sergio Scaglietti, whose famous design house ‘Carrozzeria Scaglietti’ was responsible for the look of some of the most stunning coachbuilt Ferraris in the fifties and sixties. The design of the 612 is said to have been inspired by the 1954 Rossellini-Bergman custom 375MM, which was commissioned by film director Roberto Rossellini for his lovely wife the actress Ingrid Bergman. The model features large side scallops and headlights together with a long, sleek silhouette and the result is an imposing, unusual looking car, projecting dynamism and power. This sporty front-engined rear-wheel drive Berlinetta is a paradox Ferrari, being an energetic car to drive, yet also having four full seats for passengers, making it suitable for longer journeys and city use too. A genuine departure from previous GT models, the 612 Scaglietti’s transaxle transmission sees the rear-mounted, 6 speed, F1 gearbox working with the limited-slip differential in a shared function and this, combined with the first ever all-aluminium body in a 12-cylinder Ferrari, makes for fantastic dynamics as well as improved comfort and safety. This 2005 left-hand drive 612 Scaglietti was originally delivered to a Swiss owner and is presented in superb all round condition with a full service history as follows: 20/07/2005 - Modena Cars, Geneve - 11,374kms

Four seat Ferraris have traditionally been somewhat overlooked as collectors cars, and were seen as a bit ‘agricultural’ when compared to the little GTs, however this 612 Scaglietti has all the makings of a future classic, an eclectic and historically influenced design, paired with innovative technology and modern elements. Bear in mind that these cars are built on a 599GTB chassis and are powered by the engine from the 575 Superamerica. The 612 moves forward whilst staying faithful to its past, and with production ceasing in 2011, this is a collectors car with real appreciation potential.

The legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna. The NSX featured a state of the art 3.0 litre V6 ‘VTEC’ engine (variable valve timing) and an all-aluminium monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension. This made the car extremely light and extremely strong. Other game changing features, included 4 channel ABS brakes, titanium con rods in the engine and later in the model’s life - an electric power steering system. The car was the first real Japanese Supercar, proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. Production continued right up until 2009 with only subtle changes made throughout its life. This particular NSX is an early production right-hand drive car supplied new to Japan, from where it has just returned. There is a Japanese MoT or ‘Shaken’ documentation that substantiates a mileage of only 9,575 kilometers or 5,949 miles. The Silver paintwork is in superb order and the shut lines are straight and true across the bodywork. The interior is the best we have ever seen and still even retains its plastic protection.

The engine bay is a sheer delight to behold and the underside of the car is in amazing condition and we urge you to scroll down the page to view pictures of it. Being an early car in the original launch specification it has no power steering, which although slightly heavier when parking results in fabulously communicative steering just as Ayrton Senna had originally wanted, and these early specification cars are now highly sought after and very collectable. At the time of cataloguing, this example is in the process of having a major service at NSX specialists V-Tech Direct. This will include changing all belts and fitting a later specification water pump, a known fault on early cars. A full engineer’s report will be available to prospective bidders from V-Tech Direct. All NOVA paperwork and UK taxes have been paid and a UK V5C has been applied for prior to the auction. Supplied with a fresh MoT certificate, original tool kit in pristine condition and original operation manual, this NSX is without question the finest Silverstone Auctions have ever seen.

1981 RENAULT 5 TURBO 1
In 1980, seven years after winning the World Rally Championship, Renault introduced the new R5 Turbo as a pure homologation special to enable them to compete in Group 3 and 4 racing and international rally competition. The R5 was based on the production Renault 5 Alpine hatchback, but to meet the demands of its intended mission, Renault engineers scrapped the standard 5’s front-engine, front wheel drive layout in favour of a mid-engine, rear-drive layout that positioned the engine and gearbox longitudinally behind the front seats. The rest of the basic platform remained, but the R5 Turbo’s chassis was strengthened at the rear to cope with the increased loads introduced by the new mid-engine layout. Renault’s initial plan was to build 400 production examples, the minimum needed for homologation purposes, but when the car was introduced at the 1980 Brussels Motor Show, interest in the road going version took Renault by surprise. Huge demand prompted the company to put the car into limited production at its Alpine factory in Dieppe in France and in three years, the factory produced 1,820 R5 Turbos, but fewer than 600 of these were the first series R5s which today are the most desirable. To further exploit the popularity of the R5 Turbo, the car maker introduced a revised, lower-cost version called the R5 Turbo 2 for the 1983 model year. While original Turbo models used

lighter aluminum components for the roof, doors and hatch, as well as a unique interior trim including seats dashboard and instrumentation, the Turbo 2 relied on the Renault 5’s steel body pieces as well as most of its stock interior components. This particular Renault 5 Turbo 1, we understand, was first delivered to Switzerland where it has remained until recently. Nicely finished in “Renault Road Rocket Red” with Royal blue carpets and Red leather seats with very attractive Red and Blue inserts this little 1400cc mischief machine shouts ‘fun’. Whilst it’s perfectly possible to use these cars to pop down to the shops, we all know that’s not really an option. The car appears in excellent condition and has obviously been cared for and enjoyed as intended although the history is limited, we believe the mileage of 72,500kms (44,000mls) whilst unwarranted may well be genuine judging by the super condition of the car. Accompanied by a UK V5C and a fresh MoT, this little Renault looks for all the world like a Group B rally car, and this may be the perfect chance to own a very rare and desirable Turbo 1, as close as you’re ever likely to get to those dramatic, fire-spitting rally cars of the 1980s.

During its time, the Ferrari 456 was the fastest production four seater in the world. Powered by what was essentially a detuned version of the engine powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442 bhp and, except for the F40, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that point. Pininfarina worked its magic on the 456 to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Aerodynamically efficient, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum speed of around 190 mph. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456’s styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina’s vision in creating one of most beautiful vehicle designs of modern times. The ‘Modificata’ 456 M appeared in 1998, starting with chassis number 109589 and it incorporated a number of changes including improvements to the aerodynamics and cooling, and the interior, still featuring Connolly Leather, was freshened up with new seats and other detailing. This right hand drive 456M in Grigio, arguably one of the best colours for any four-seat Ferrari, was delivered new by Ferrari Glenvarigill in Edinburgh on the 3rd of March 1999. The car displays a good ‘driver’s mileage’ of 44,981, indicating that it has been regularly used, and comes with the original handbook pack containing all the relevant books and original service manual, and an unused tool kit.

Jaguar introduced the E-Type in March 1961 to worldwide acclaim and its early forays into motor sport were rewarded in May of that year, when Graham Hill celebrated the type’s first win at Oulton Park. Success on the track was reflected on the road, and the car’s popularity was set to continue right up to 1974 with over 70,000 E-Types eventually produced in Coventry. From 1961, the E-Type evolved and improved throughout its long lifecycle from the original Series 1 Coupés and Roadsters, through the Series 2 cars of the late 1960s until finally the Series 3 arrived in late 1971, this 5.3 V12 being only available as a convertible or a ‘2+2’.

The BMW E9 Coupe was one of the most handsome cars ever to roll out of the Munich factory. This sleek and wonderfully elegant model had an airy cabin with slim windscreen pillars, a large glass area and a tastefully restrained wooden dash. In the year of this example’s production, 1972, only 1,215 were produced and as total CSA production worldwide numbered a paltry 3,667, as clean an example as the one offered here is a definite rarity. Delivered new to New Zealand in 1972, this E9’s first owner cared for the car with the greatest respect including actively avoiding wet days and covering only 9,800 miles in 20 years. The second owner, a keen collector kept the car in storage and travelled a mere 800 miles in it. Now, with a recent odometer reading of just 10,925 miles, this already rare E9 is among the finest examples available today. This original right-hand drive 3.0 CSA is finished in Baikal Blue metallic paint with Fawn cloth trim and presents exceptionally well throughout.

The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint Coupé and used the shortened floor pan from the Giulia saloon car. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial projects. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered ground-breaking styling features for the era. Often considered as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars with its five-speed gearbox, all round disc brakes, independent suspension and torquey engine they were very advanced for the time and have the capability to embarrass many of their modern counterparts. This superb Alfa Romeo GT Junior is presented in excellent condition having been subject to an extensive body restoration in 2012. This work included all the crucial areas on an Alfa Romeo including sills, floors, cross members, jacking points, and the lower wings all of which were replaced.

The 400GT was a larger engined version of the 365GT4 2+2 that it replaced. The 4823cc V12 engine provided the new car with muchimproved performance over its elder sister. Later, the 400i would be introduced which would reduce emissions considerably, albeit at a cost of 30hp. All Ferraris built in this period were costly, low-production machines, based on increasingly complex tubular chassis frames and clad in hand-crafted body shells. These body shells had been styled by Pininfarina and were produced at the Scaglietti coach building works in Modena. The 400GT looks very similar to the car it replaced, the main differences being the lamps and spoiler. This model is perhaps best known for introducing automatic transmission to Ferrari customers for the first time.

During March 1970, the RS2600 made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show, albeit with a mock-up fuel injection system. It wasn’t until September the same year that the first fuel injected RS2600 left the Niehl assembly line in Cologne, Germany. The RS was easily recognisable as it had no bumpers, two vents in the front panel and sported Richard Grant road wheels, - the lightweight versions of the car used Minilites - it also had a pair of rectangular wing badges reading RS2600 and an RS roundel on the boot lid. These cars had the front cross member re-drilled for negative camber and were fitted with uprated brake pads and linings supplied by Ferodo, competition front springs, single leaf rear springs and Bilstein shock absorbers all-round. The Capri RS2600 offered here today has a very interesting story to tell, and according to our vendor it could very well be an important piece of Ford Motor Company history. It is believed that this car may have been a development car, one of three prototype RS2600’s, however, despite there being significant evidence to suggest that is the case, there are a number of questions that remain unanswered, so there is currently insufficient proof to be certain. Not unusually, this car started life as a German built 2.3GT but was bored out to 2637cc with a long-throw crankshaft to achieve the required performance. When discovered by our vendor in 2010 it required restoration.The block in the car was numbered beginning ‘QZA’ which was a correct RS2600 designation. The tale goes that three prototype cars were taken from 2.3 GT production line and used by Ford to evolve the RS2600. Our car was first licensed ‘K-MR 198’,

Correspondence in the history file by a previous owner named Roger King in 2009, suggests that Schmitter was a Ford Motor Company employee, although we cannot ascertain evidence to this effect. Research conducted by King suggests that the chassis is that of a German 2300GT, however, the log book shows the car to have been modified at the factory in June 1970 with all the updates to full RS2600 specification, before being sold with the correct QZA engine fitted as per the description from our vendor when acquired in 2012 prerestoration. An engineer by trade, Roger King of Brackley had intended to restore this car, but that challenge was instead eventually undertaken by our vendor to an exacting standard. Whether this car is a development car or not, one thing is for certain - it truly is special to behold. The QZA engine which was fitted in the car could not be retained as the block was irreparably cracked so a replacement 2300 engine, bored to 2600 specification was sourced, and the restoration began in earnest.

The Bentley Azure was introduced in 1995 and was based on the platform of the Continental R coupé which had been launched in 1991. The Azure often surprised with its substantial size, intended to convey both a sense of presence and allow for the comfortable seating of four adult passengers. Power came from the company’s stalwart 6.75 litre V8, featuring a single inter-cooled turbocharger producing in the region of 380bhp, mated to a General Motors sourced, fourspeed automatic gearbox enabling the Azure to glide up to 60mph in an impressive 6.1 seconds. Owing to the limited space at Bentley’s Crewe factory, the Azure was assembled and finished by Pininfarina, significantly adding to the vehicle’s production costs. The selling price varied as equipment could be significantly different from one to the next depending on personal preferences, however, the price list started at just over £200,000 when new. We are proud to offer this striking Bentley Azure in the most stylish colour combination of Royal Blue with contrasting Saddle coloured trim, Blue electric power hood and a Gold hand-drawn coach line, which was delivered new on August 1st, 1997 sporting the private registration ‘R1PPA’ at the behest of its first keeper.

Lotus launched a legend in 1962, the new and ground-breaking Lotus Elan. Following on from the Elite, the new car offered improved handling allied with better performance. Below the bonnet sat a new 1558cc, twin-cam four-cylinder engine which would become a legend in its own right, powering other classic Lotus models including, of course, the Cortina sporting saloons. This charming and genuine Lotus Elan Sprint Drop-head Coupé was manufactured in May 1972 as detailed in the accompanying Lotus Certificate of Vehicle Provenance, and was supplied new to Hammonds & Oakwood Ltd. of Kent. It was initially sold to a local doctor, doubtless to escape the pressures of his day to day ministrations, and he eventually passed it on to his son. Still sporting its original registration of ‘NGN 134L’, this amazingly packaged, extremely capable and surprisingly roomy classic sports car is simply a great example of British automotive design. The car is presented in the unusual colour combination of Colorado Orange and Cirrus White. According to Lotus, this attractive orange colour was the 2nd rarest out of the 8 different colours available for the UK Sprint DHC. It certainly looks fantastic and makes a refreshing change from the regular red over white, two-tone ‘Gold Leaf’ livery. With its contrasting black interior, with wood and trim in fine and nicely patinated condition and its desirable Colin Chapman signed steering-wheel, this is a truly lovely example.

The most impressive history file is home to a number of old MoT Certificates corroborating the mileage, and also contains the very rare original service booklet and handbook. Interestingly, also in the history file, are numerous hand written, in-period letters from previous owners demonstrating diligent ownership and helping verify the car’s mileage and originality. Prior to our vendor, the car’s custodian since 1990 was an enthusiastic engineer who kept a detailed account of maintenance and repair work done over the 20 years of his ownership. On a recent inspection the car’s original chassis is said to be in good condition. In a letter from the file, dated 16th November 1976, the Doctor’s son makes reference to a speedometer change after 12,500 miles which helps confirm the car’s current indicated mileage of only 83,500. The car drives and pulls well, with good pressures and balanced handling and has a current MoT until 22.09.16. Everybody loves Elans, particularly the Sprint, and with their addictive blend of performance and agility they are a very desirable little sports car and welcome anywhere.

1959 FIAT 600 MULTIPLA
Introduced in 1955 and produced until 1969, the Fiat 600 was the marque’s first rear-engined car. Whilst outwardly small and riding on a wheelbase just shy of 80 inches, the 600 provided remarkable passenger and luggage space thanks to its rear-mounted inline fourcylinder engine. The innovative Multipla, which pre-dated the minivan by some 30 years, followed in 1956 and incorporated the 600’s small, city-car characteristics, whilst offering three rows of seats, allowing for up to six passengers, with the rearmost two rows folding flat to providing a decent load space. If Dr. Who had been written in the fifties, this vehicle would have been affectionately known as the “Tardis” or “Tardissimo” as they say in Italian.

Prior to its arrival in the UK, we understand that the car was subject to a lengthy restoration, which has resulted in an exceptionally clean vehicle in good all round condition, and a sound example of possibly the most recognisable people-carrier turned lifestyle vehicle of its time. Although the car does not have documented history, it does come complete with its import documentation, full UK registration and carries an MoT until April 16th, 2016. Style, flair and fun - this charming little Multipla oozes Italian charm and represents a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of 1950’s Italiana. Buon divertimento!
As a result of its capacity for commuters and compact characteristics, the Multipla became vastly popular as a Taxi in its native Italy and has now achieved iconic status as a retro Italian classic. This left-hand drive 600 Multipla is an original Italian car, produced in 1959, and imported to the UK this year. A lovely matching numbers example, the car is finished in Red over White, with red steel wheels, chromed embellishers and a colour-coded interior, in keeping with the models’ period lines and retro charm.

Since the launch in 1961 of the Jaguar E-Type, it has received many accolades supporting its legendary design and power; including Enzo Ferrari who described the E-Type as, ‘the most beautiful car in the world’. As with all motorcars that underwent progressive design and improvement, the Series II E-Type benefitted from open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators, tail lights below the bumpers and more comfortable seats. Standard Series II upgrades also included uprated brakes and twin electric fans enabling better cooling. Like the late series 1 cars, the engine is easily identified by the change from polished to ribbed cam covers and whilst the US specification cars were detuned with twin Strombergs and larger valve clearances, the European cars retained triple SU carburettors and the much tighter valve clearances as fitted to this vehicle. Chassis number 1R 8619 was manufactured on 26th February 1969 and was delivered new to the Belgium Motor Company in Bruxelles on 12th March 1969, and shortly afterwards was happily collected by its first owner, a Mr William Rutherford. This series II E-Type Roadster 4.2 then found its way to the United States, where it was recently discovered by our vendor in a tired but original condition. He repatriated the car to the UK and set about an extensive restoration that has only recently been completed.

The body was stripped and painted in stunning Signal Red and the interior has been trimmed in BAS tan leather with red piping. A new stainless steel exhaust manifold was fitted along with new chromium wire wheels. The steering was converted from left to right-hand drive and the engine was removed and received a bottom end rebuild, as the car had been stood for some time. The car was then re-assembled with great care and attention to detail. The odometer is currently reading 24,949 miles and although unwarranted, the vendor believes this low mileage to be correct. All relevant documentation can be found in the history file and the car is reported to drive extremely well. A Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms that the chassis and engine numbers match from new and the car has covered just 110 miles since its restoration. This E-Type really is in fantastic sparkling condition, and one would be tempted to arrive at a classic car show, open the bonnet, boot and both doors and stand back and enjoy the compliments. A superb opportunity to own an original E-Type Roadster and enjoy many years of ‘roof down fun’ along the way.

1968 LOTUS ELAN S3 ‘SUPER SAFETY’ FHC
The Lotus Elan burst onto the scene in 1962 as the first road-going Lotus to use the now synonymous combination of a steel backbone chassis coupled to a separate fibreglass body. Colin Chapman proudly announced in the launch literature that “We wanted to build you a fun car..” A technologically advanced DOHC development of Ford’s proven ‘Kent’ engine, bored out to 1558cc provided the propulsion, whilst cutting-edge features such as all-round disc brakes fully independent suspension and nimble rack and pinion steering gave agility and handling that was second-to-none. This S3 Elan Fixed head coupe ‘Super Safety’ example is finished in the BRM colours of metallic Polychromatic Green with Orange bumpers and a black vinyl interior. It was formerly owned by motoring journalist John Simister (of Evo & Octane fame) and has been continually developed/uprated at great expense over many years to produce the ultimate fast-road spec’d Elan. Modifications include Spyder chassis, full Tony Thompson Racing ‘fast road’ brake/suspension/chassis upgrades including; H/D wishbones & polyurethane bushes, 26R-spec driveshafts & propshaft, steel billet

rear hub shafts, uprated shock absorbers & springs. In addition, a Safety Devices FIA rear cage/sill bars/foot bars with 4-point harnesses has been fitted. The original engine has been uprated with forged pistons, larger valves, Cosworth L2 cams, full TTR exhaust system (inc manifold) and produces 135bhp whilst remaining perfectly tractable according to the vendor. The cooling system features 26R-spec aluminium radiator & swirl pot plus front oil cooler. Finally, the body was treated to a full restoration & repaint in period BRM colours by renowned fibreglass specialists Option 1 in Bromsgrove. There are invoices on file for the above work totalling over £30,000. Arguably the S3 FHC is the prettiest version of the Elan (featuring the more delicate rear lamps & ‘round’ wheel arches) and although over 45 years old, it is still one of the best handling cars available. A good history file accompanies the car with invoices for TTR upgrades & Option 1 bodywork restoration (a CD of photos is available), old MoT certificates and letters from previous owners. This little Elan offers a ‘turn-key’ classic proposition that is likely to embarrass far more modern traffic on the roads today.

The name, Karmann Ghia has an interesting origin being derived from the coming together of German and Italian influences through its respective coachbuilders and stylists. The German car manufacturer, Volkswagen, adapted the chassis and mechanics of the Type 1 Beetle and handed it their fellow German coachbuilders “Karmann” to create hand-built and high-quality bodywork to the design of the Italian styling house “Carrozzeria Ghia” who unashamedly adopted styling cues from Chrysler and Studebaker. A prototype was unveiled that was well received by critics and surpassed all expectations, and the end product was to become an immensely popular and successful little sports car. In 1958, Volkswagen and Karmann came up with a convertible version, and although the required additional strengthening made the convertible heavier and, therefore, slower than the coupé, that didn’t seem to matter to those who admired this fashionable new look and, of course, America loved it!

owners wife and underwent a complete restoration from the ground upwards by her husband and a close friend, who were skilled mechanics. During this process, the engine was fully rebuilt and the car was fitted with adjustable suspension, alloy wheels, and a more modern wiring loom set up with modern fuses. It has also benefited from significant expenditure on a Porsche front headlight conversion, full custom interior, dashboard and door cards, new carpets throughout, and an imported German Mohair roof. Following its import into the UK this year, the car has covered only a few thousand miles since its extensive restoration. With recent UK registration, all taxes and duties paid, and a fresh MoT to accompany its history file of original documentation; today’s offering is tastefully modified and will be an asset to its new owner’s fashion credentials.
This right-hand drive, Karmann Ghia was delivered new to Florida in 1972 where it was later customised with Suicide Doors and blanked windows. In 1984, the car was bought as a present for the previous

1978 FORD CAPRI 3.0 S
VHK 494S is arguably the most historically significant MK3 Capri. Believed to be a pre-production Mk3 – a MK2 pulled from the production line – and accepted to be the only Mk3 Capri ever produced in this colour (Peppermint Sea Green.) The car was first owned by Ford Motor Company and loaned to Autocar for their long-term test fleet. VHK 494S was a regular in the motoring press from 1978 to 1982. The car was sold to John Miles, ex Lotus F1 driver and, at that time, motoring journalist with Autocar. John used the car as a demonstrator of the WM Developments 3.2S – a car designed to challenge Ford’s own X-pack products through ‘optimisation’. The standard 3.0 Essex was bored out to 3.1 and crank ‘blanks’ machined to give an increase in stroke – the result giving a cubic capacity of 3200. This was coupled to a rear axle from the Gordon Spice racing Capri’s (Spa spec). The car featured in several articles, both in comparison with X-pack Capri’s and as a mule for John Miles’ experiments with suspension and body-kits. VHK 494S is explicitly credited as the basis from which the Tickford Capri was developed. John has also explicitly cited the car, and his research with it, as the reason he was recruited to Lotus as a chassis engineer. In May 1987, in an article celebrating the Capri as it neared the end of production, John describes ‘his 3.2’ as a ‘jewel’, and his favourite Capri as ‘it responded well to mods.’

In August of that year VHK 494S appeared on the front cover of the Capri Club International magazine having suffered a failure of the fuel union into the carbuerttor and a subsequent engine bay fire which apparently rendered the car a write-off. The rebuild appears to have been straightforward and VHK 494S was ‘formally’ invited to be displayed at the club’s ’Winter Convention’ in 1989. In the late 90s the car was given a truly comprehensive restoration; the car again featured in two extensive spreads fully documenting the rebuild and the efforts made to preserve the car and its character. In 1999 John Miles and VHK 494S were reunited at Lotus (Hethel) VHK 494S remains a stunning car. The restoration is approaching 20 years old and the car has covered around 5000 miles on the road so is by no means concourse. That said, the only faults are some micro blistering to the paint on the tailgate and the diff sings a little through 50 mph. Anecdotally, when the restorer commented to John in 1999 that the back axle was a little noisy, John’s reply was that it had always been like that and was everything was perfectly in order! As a fitting tribute, Corgi are releasing a model of VHK 494S at the end of October. VHK 494S has always been a real favourite in the Ford world and this is an opportunity to own a piece of ‘fast Ford’ history that has been substantially and publically documented.

1967 MERCEDES 300 SE COUPÉ W112
In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released the 300SE Coupé. For marketing reasons, this car, like its saloon stablemate, was kept apart from the W111 220SE that was launched in 1960, and had its own chassis number W112, which positioned it as a successor to the W187 300S two-door series, rather than the Ponton range. The car was featured with a chrome strip, air suspension, the Daimler-Benz top of the range 2996 cm3 M189 engine and a much higher level of appointments. This vehicle remained deliberately split from the rest of the W111 family to emphasise to potential buyers the differences in specification between the ranges. There are now just a few remaining right hand drive examples of the 300SE, especially in this condition, and it truly is a great example of what can be achieved with a detailed ground up restoration of the this beautiful coupé. £12,000 alone was spent on the engine rebuild, with the replacement of all the ancillaries, fuel and brake lines and only Mercedes parts were used throughout. The object of the exercise mechanically, was to give this car the same levels of efficiency and

performance that it would have enjoyed when it left the factory. The car had covered 100,000 at the point of restoration, and has covered just 2,760 miles since, including a drive to Germany for the famous Techno Classica show in Essen. We have over 40 pages of invoices detailing the parts and work that was carried out during the nine-year restoration in the extensive history file. The bodywork, which is the original factory colour, is simply stunning. The chrome is in pristine condition as are all the window rubbers. The wheel hubs sit on the original wheels with brand new tyres recently fitted. Inside the car, the original leather is in superb condition and extremely supple, and the Wilton carpets are in fine fettle. The woodwork is in excellent order, as is the headlining. The values of these wonderful cars are now following the same upward climb as the SL Pagodas and in this condition, ‘NVT345F’ represents a sound investment as well as being a real delight to own and drive.

2003 ASTON MARTIN DB7 VANTAGE COUPÉ
The DB7 Vantage was first introduced at the Geneva motor show in 1999 with a 6 litre V12, 48 valve engine giving 420bhp and 400 lbs/ ft. of torque. The car was offered by the factory either, as a manual (with Tremec T56 6 speed) or Auto (ZF 5 Speed) transmission. The car was the first really quick DB7, after the original lack lustre straight six offered from launch was eventually dropped. Both suspension and brakes were uprated on the new Vantage and the car was extremely well received by the motoring press who appreciated the significantly increased performance and the handling improvements. Offered here, is a UK specification DB7 Vantage V12 Automatic supplied new to premier league footballer Jamie Clapham. The second owner purchased the car in 2004 and has enjoyed 11 years of ownership. Supplied with a complete service history with JCT 600 Leeds, this DB7 has been serviced every single year from 2003 at 2,712 miles until its last service at 39,308 miles earlier this year. All invoices are present in a large history file and the service book is appropriately stamped.

In 1992, BMW introduced the second generation M3 at the Paris Motor Show based on the E36 platform. The Motorsport Department started with the standard M50TU engine used in various E36 and E34s and then enlarged the bore and stroke and modified the intake to include individual throttle bodies. “VANOS”, as it was known, was the variable valve timing system on the intake camshaft and became an additional feature of the development programme. In 1996, the engine capacity was increased to 3.2 litres and power increased to 316 BHP. The BMW E36 M3 is considered to be one of the better-handling cars of all time and was awarded “Best-Handling Car” by Car and Driver magazine in 1997.

1966 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 MKIII
The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967, and is the best known of the “big” Healey models. The car’s bodywork was made by Jensen Motors, and the vehicles were assembled at the BMC Abingdon works. The 3000 was a successful car which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday and is still used in competition by enthusiasts today. Its long competition history saw the 3000 race at most major racing circuits around the world, including Sebring, Le Mans, and Mount Panorama in Bathurst. The BMC Competitions Department successfully rallied the 3000 from its introduction, but the development of the works cars effectively ended in 1965, mainly because of the success of the Mini Cooper ‘S’. The 3000 Mark III was launched in October 1963, and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of Austin-Healeys ceased. Classified as the BJ8, the new model was the most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys, with a walnut-veneered dash, windup windows, and a 150hp engine. Improvements to the engine included a new camshaft and valve springs, and twin SU 2” HD8 carburettors, together with a new design of exhaust system. Servo-assisted brakes were now fitted as standard. Only 2+2 seat versions were made. We are informed by the vendor that this particular ‘Big Healey’ was manufactured on the 18th of November 1966 and was subsequently exported to the States and sold through a dealer in St Louis. The Heritage Certificate confirms its original colour combination was Ivory White with Red leather trim, and its options were wire wheels, overdrive and a heater. We are told that in 2006 the car was discovered

at Gullwing Motor Cars in New York where it had been off the road for a number of years and was looking rather sorry for itself. It was subsequently sold and repatriated to the UK where it was then subject to a complete rebuild and converted from left to right-hand drive by The Northern Healey Centre. This was a comprehensive rebuild during which the car was totally taken apart and reassembled around a brand new chassis. A photographic record was kept of all the work done including its repaint and re-trim in its original colours, and the result is a car that is equally as good underneath as it is on top, with the paintwork being described as excellent throughout as is all the bright work. All mechanical components were also rebuilt or replaced as required and the whole project was finished after a total of some 5 years when it was put back on the road in 2011. Of particular interest is the fact that this Healey has been rebuilt with long distance touring in mind. A new hard top has been fitted in contrasting black and the rear seat option has been deleted in favour of luggage space and that area has been re-trimmed beautifully. With red carpets, fabulous leather upholstery, and an unmarked dashboard with all the gauges functioning perfectly, this really is a superb place to pilot this wonderful 60’s motor car come rain or shine. Sold with an excellent history portfolio, this particular big Healey drives as well as it looks and would be a great contender for any long distance touring events thanks to its overdrive gearbox and superb all round performance.

1972 ALFA ROMEO MONTREAL
In 1967, Alfa Romeo dipped its toe into the Supercar sector by launching the Montreal, named after the Montreal Expo where it made its debut. Initially fitted with Alfa’s four cylinder, twin cam engine, by the time the Montreal was launched, for a limited production run at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, this had changed to an all-new V8 quad-cam competition-derived power unit with dry sump lubrication taken from the successful Type 33 sports racer and mated to a 5 speed ZF gearbox, an altogether more appropriate power plant for such an exotic machine. With a capacity of 2,593cc, the V8 featured twin overhead camshafts per bank and produced, via Alfa Romeo/Spica fuel injection and Bosch electronic ignition, 200bhp at 6,500rpm. This provided excellent performance with a top speed of 137mph and 0-60mph in just 7.6 seconds. Under the exotic Bertone designed 2+2 coupé coachwork, the Montreal incorporated many stylish features, such as the headlamp eyelids and the NACA duct on the bonnet. The floorpan was derived from a modified 1750 GTV chassis and sported independent coil sprung front suspension, live coil sprung rear axle, limited slip differential and ventilated discs. This resulted in excellent road holding and braking. In the stylish interior, the seats had built-in adjustable headrests and an unusual external feature was vacuum-operated headlamp stone guards. This Alfa Romeo Montreal was first delivered to France, where it remained until 1989 before being imported into the UK. In 1993 it was purchased by the current keeper, and it has remained in his ownership for 22 years and is now being offered for public sale.

Our vendor is a professional mechanic and the car, whilst never being fully restored, has been well very maintained and tastefully upgraded throughout its life. These upgrades include the replacement of the notoriously problematic injection system with a more traditional and reliable carburetor arrangement which really makes the engine sound throaty, and growl as a V8 should. Another beneficial modification some years ago, was a Harvey Bailey handling kit which we understand really transforms the car’s road manners and predictability. Showing a, possibly genuine, 44,678kms from new, the car is accompanied by almost all its MoTs since 1993 at which point the mileage was just 39,223kms. From looking at the extensive history file, which includes a vast quantity of invoices, it is clear that this car has been well loved. A very honest car that would benefit from further TLC to improve its aesthetics, this landmark Alfa is now in need of a new custodian who will be happy to realise this car’s potential. We were all a little wary of Montreals a couple of decades ago, after all the design is nearly 50 years old, they are a little complex, and there aren’t many around, however with the arrival of the Internet, any problem can be solved within minutes by the International band of Montreal enthusiasts which, as a potential new owner, is very comforting. The Alfa Romeo Montreal is a true piece of Italian design, its looks have stood the test of time and they can now be made reliable, which is probably why they are starting to get the attention they deserve.

1985 FORD ESCORT RS TURBO SERIES I
The Ford Escort RS Turbo was based on the 3-door Ford Escort Saloon and was supplied in a Diamond White body colour only. The engine fitted to the RS Turbo was a 1600 CVH unit modified to suit the higher loads and the application of a turbocharger. Computerised fuel injection and engine management incorporating turbocharger boost control were also fitted. Aesthetically, the RS Turbo was given a distinctive sporty appearance with a body coloured front grill, bumpers and aerodynamic aids. On the tailgate, an XR3i spoiler (also body coloured) was fitted together with “RS Turbo” decals. The interior was trimmed in a combination of Monza and Cashmere fabrics and XR3i type Recaro LS bucket seats were fitted as standard. Production was limited to only 5,000 examples and many were modified in period for racing. This incredible example of Ford UK history has covered only 5,568 miles from new in the hands of one registered keeper. It has never been restored or modified and is preserved in what can only be described as factory fresh/Concours condition.

1962 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 BJ7
Registration: 2158 PK Chassis Number: HBJ721436 Engine Number: 2543 Estimate (£): 30,000 - 35,000
The Austin Healey 3000 has become one of the best known British classic cars of the 1950s and 1960s following spectacular success in international rallying and circuit racing. A development of the Austin Healey 100-6, itself born of the four cylinder 100, the 3000 (MK I) was launched in March 1959 and was a significant improvement to the earlier Healeys. For example, the new 3000 featured front disc brakes, wire wheels as standard and a more powerful (124bhp) 2,912cc BMC C-Series engine, ensuring a top speed of approximately 120mph. There was also a choice of 2 seater (BN7) or 2+2 (BT7) body styles. The new 3000 was an instant success on the road, on the track and on the rally stage and has enjoyed a large club following since the 1950s.
2158 PK is a 1962 Healey 3000 (BJ7) in its original colour of Metallic Ice Blue with a Dark Blue leather interior piped with White. It has a 4-speed box with overdrive on 3rd and 4th, wind-up windows and currently sports a Motorola wood rim steering wheel although the original comes with the car.
The Mark II (BN7) was introduced in March 1961 with a higher performance camshaft and, initially, a trio of SU HS4 carburettors which turned out to be difficult to balance and were replaced with twin HS6s with the arrival of the BJ7 in January ‘62. It featured windup windows and a wrap-around windscreen and could be identified externally by a vertical-barred front grill. A total of just over 6,000 BJ7s were built.

We understand that this Healey was subject to a £20,000 major restoration in the late 90s by Dan Force Restorations. Since that time additional work has been carried out as required. The doors have been re-hinged and the window mechanisms re-worked to allow easier use. The brakes have been overhauled with new front callipers and new pistons. The suspension has been re-bushed, the steering reset and an anti-roll bar fitted. A new fuel gauge has been fitted and all the draught excluder rubbers and quarter lights replaced. The odometer indicates 5,983 miles which is obviously not correct and we believe that this Big Healey has had four owners in total.

The question of how to tempt new customers into Porsche ownership has always been problematic. On the one hand, you’re trying to uphold the reputation of the company as a purveyor of high-quality, highperformance sports cars while on the other, you’re anxious not to alienate those potential customers whose budget won’t stretch to a new 911.

From the beginning of production in 1965, the 912 was available with an electric sunroof, a rare option which is now making these particular cars sought after. It’s thought that only 100, 912 sunroof coupés built from 1968 - 1969 are still in existence.
In 1964, Porsche had just such a problem with the sales of their new 911 proving a touch disappointing and continuing demand for the 356, which was scheduled to be phased out, necessitating that the production lines kept rolling. The solution seemed to be financial, and the decision was made to replace the 356 with a four-cylinder, more appropriately priced 911 and, as a result, the 912 (initially 902) was conceived.
This original right-hand drive Porsche 912 supplied to Northern Ireland, is finished in red with a black leatherette interior, and also features the aforementioned electric sunroof. Around 1970 / 71 the owner at the time decided more power was necessary, and instead of trading the car in for the 911, a 2.0 litre 911E engine was sourced and fitted to the car. At the same time, Contour Rally seats were fitted, as was an RS style ‘Ducktail’ engine cover and a set of Fuchs alloys. Contained within the history file are MoTs dating back to 1982, service receipts and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirming the identity of this car.
First available to European customers by June 1965 (initially with 1582 cc and 90bhp), the 912 soon became a market leader, particularly in the USA. In the UK, the 912 was some 30% cheaper at £2,466 compared to the £3,488 price tag of the 911 and went on to outsell its six-cylinder sibling by no less than 188% in 1966.
The car remained with the first owner until March 2014 when it was purchased by our vendor, himself a motoring enthusiast, who has had much enjoyment from the car since. Supplied with an MoT until 17th July ‘16 and a UK V5c, this particular 912, whilst not original, offers the chance to enjoy classic Porsche motoring at an attractive price!
Constructed in late 1966, the 100,000th Porsche built was a 912 Targa Police Car and the 912 won Car and Driver’s 1967 “Readers Choice” Poll for its class. Its nimble handling combined with good reliability made it a popular choice for motorsport teams and a rally prepared 912 won its class in the 1967 European Rally Championship. Production of the 912 ceased in 1969 when over 30,000 had found homes.

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

Supplied with its original books, manuals, tool kit, 2 sets of keys, car cover, and original service book, there are a number of stamps in the book and the last one dates from a Ferrari main dealer in March 2015, when the car had covered just 8,733 kilometers. Now reading 8,793 kilometers or 5,462 miles from new, the condition of this car is exemplary. The Grigio paintwork is in pristine order and retains a superb shine. The Bordeaux interior is in virtually ‘new’ condition with no wear to any components. The engine bay is stunning to behold and is best described as in Concours condition. The overall condition of this vehicle needs to be seen to be truly appreciated. The history file contains a current MoT certificate until October 2016 and all NOVA documentation required for UK registration. Offered without reserve, this Ferrari is simply a ‘best of breed’ example and is open to any inspection prior to the auction. F355s in this condition are a rare breed and we are confident this one will not disappoint even the most hardened of experts, collectors or enthusiasts.

The iconic Chevrolet Corvette (named after a small, maneuverable warship) has now been in production for over seven generations with enormous pedigree and style. The first model was a convertible penned by designer Harley Earl and was introduced in 1953 at the GM Motorama as a concept show car. The C2 Corvette, which followed was produced between 1963 and 1967 and it is perhaps this car that is most entrenched in American automotive history with its dramatic styling, deeply scalloped side panels and evocative ‘Stingray’ model name. The C3 arrived in 1968 and also carried the Stingray moniker although it closely followed the design of the ‘Mako Shark II’ concept car. The new C3 displayed a number of innovative features including vacuum operation of the headlights, a shield to conceal the wipers when not in use and 7inch wheels as standard. The chassis, fully independent suspension and disc brakes were carried over from the C2 and the car was offered with a choice of engine size and 4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic gearboxes.

1970 ASTON MARTIN DBS V8
The DBS ushered in a whole new look for Aston, its modern lines the work of Englishman William Towns, and the shape and chassis were to prove long-lived, lasting until 1988 and the introduction of the Virage. Designed to replace the DB6, which continued in production through late 1970, the DBS was both longer and wider than its predecessor and was intended to be powered by Tadek Marek’s all-new race-bred aluminium, quad-cam 5.3ltr. V-8 but that wasn’t ready in time so the DBS entered production with the straight-six from the DB6. The 310bhp V8 was finally ready in 1970, but the 6-cylinder car continued in production in parallel for another couple of years being marketed as an entry-level Aston. With its chic bodywork, opulent interior and Aston Martin cachet, the DBS V8 became Aston Martin’s first “Supercar”, a term coined by the motoring press in the seventies. This original UK right-hand drive DBS V8 automatic, chassis #10016/R, left the Newport Pagnell works in 1970 finished in Bahama Yellow with a Saddle Brown interior, similar to the car in the TV series ‘The Persuaders’, where the Aston Martin DBS driven by Roger Moore had become infamous. The owner prior to our vendor purchased the car in 1975 from a widow in Bradford-on-Avon who preferred a quick sale. A sum was swiftly agreed, which at that time, was the equivalent to the price of a semi-detached house Oxford! In his first 10 years of ownership, the previous keeper covered approximately 8,000 miles before laying the car up around 1987 until May of this year when it was recommissioned before a decision was taken to sell it, which is when our vendor acquired chassis #10016/R. Some of the work carried out in the late eighties included: • Re-coring the radiator

This year the car has received a new battery, thermostat top / bottom hoses, petrol filler cap pipes, new ignition coil, 8 plugs, petrol / oil filters and new fluids. The history file that accompanies this DBS V8 includes a buff log book, the original drivers manual, invoices for parts supplied when the car was recommissioned and some old MoT certificates - the first of which dates back to 1977 when the car had covered 37,053 miles. Given its many years of inactivity, we believe that the current odometer reading of 45,590 miles may well be genuine. Bought with the intention of returning the car back to its original Bahama Yellow (perhaps as a result of the resurgent popularity of ‘The Persuaders), a change in direction for our vendor has meant that this car is now available once again. Mechanically sound and with a rust-free body, ‘FVG 719J’ is the perfect candidate to return back to its former glory. Supplied with a UK V5c and MoT tested until 11th June ‘16, these rare DBS V8’s, one of 405, (making it rarer than the 1,025 DB5’s produced) are now warmly receiving the attention they have for so long deserved and are benefitting from the recent financial inaccessibility of the DB4,5 and 6.

In 1999, Ferrari knew that it was time to replace their much loved 355 and consequently the 360 was introduced to critical acclaim and immediately set a new benchmark for affordable ‘supercar’ styling and performance. The 360 Modena design was revolutionary, making extensive use of lightweight materials in its construction resulting in a much lighter car along with substantially increased rigidity. Ferrari also paid particular attention to improving the under-body aerodynamics using knowledge gained from their Formula One programme and the 360 boasts a completely flat bottom with two prominent rear diffusers. The 360 was always intended to have a convertible counterpart and, in 2001, the Spider was unveiled utilising the same 400bhp, 3.6 litre V8 engine displayed underneath a glass panel, this time benefiting from extra airflow via the inclusion of larger side panels. This brilliant right-hand drive, manual example of the 360 Spider, finished in the quintessential Ferrari Rosso - Crema colour combination, was delivered new to Stratstone Ferrari Manchester in 2004 who looked after its welfare for the next three years; 19/08/04 - 41 Miles - Pre Delivery Inspection 26/01/05 - 1255 Miles - Annual Service 26/09/05 - 2467 Miles - Annual Service

In 2009 the car was exported to Cyprus, where it spent some years as part of a private collection before being repatriated to the UK in August 2015. As the vehicle has been in storage for the last 4-5 years, a full inspection report was commissioned, and carried out by a Ferrari main dealer in Cyprus prior to the car’s arrival in the UK. 06/07/15 - 21,036 miles - Inspection Report All the recommendations were carried out at a cost of over £5,000 including; major service, timing belts, ball joints, and all shock absorber bushes. In addition to all of the standard 360 Spider equipment, this car is also optioned with red stitching, wing badges, red callipers, electric seats, and a Becker radio/cd. A replacement stamped Ferrari service book detailing the maintenance history accompanies the car, and it is once again UK registered. Replacing the 355 was no mean feat, however, by delivering additional refinement, not just in driveability, but also in build quality and interior finish, Ferrari were able to create an admirable piece of engineering. This 360 Spider is a typical example of the car that has cemented itself as a definitive Ferrari. A future classic that could be all yours!

1957 AUSTIN HEALEY 100/6 WITH O/D
Introduced in 1956 to replace the Austin-Healey 100 (later known as the 100-4), the 100-6 was a two-seat roadster produced by the British Motor Corporation, initially at Longbridge and later at Abingdon, and remained in production until 1959 when it was replaced by the 3000. Over the years, all three models have become known collectively as “The Big Healeys”. This right-hand drive car is fitted with overdrive and was built in Longbridge on the 30th May 1957, subsequently being first registered in Birmingham with the Registration Number-UOX 212-which it retains to this day. Austin Healeys in the late fifties and early sixties were well known for a range of distinctive two-tone colour schemes, and this example doesn’t disappoint, sporting its original colours of Black over Colorado Red complemented by a set of Silver wire wheels. This car is one of, a believed, 50 cars factory fitted with four-wheel Dunlop Disc brakes almost certainly to fulfil the homologation volume requirements that would enable the Works to enter a team for the 1957 Mille Miglia. The organisers of this event were obviously satisfied that the 100/6 was available with all-round disc brakes, even though they were initially only “optional” if you knew the right person to ask. However, all’s well that ends well, and in the ‘57 Mille Miglia, Tommy Wisdom and Cecil Winby in the new 100-6 BN4 with the six-port head and HD6 SUs, finished 1st in class and 37th overall in, sadly, the final running of this legendary event. Our fifties Healey is a well-travelled car with an interesting story some of which is recorded in the history file, however not much is known about the cars very early years. It was purchased by a Mr Bray of Birmingham on 28th June 1957 who kept the car for nine years until

passing it on to a Mr Jackson, who in turn sold the car in the early 1970s. It then spent a period of time under the warm South African sun before being repatriated to the UK in the early 1980s and shortly afterwards, in 1982, was featured in Old Motor Magazine (now known as Classic and Sports Car). The next phase of the car’s life took it to North America where after purchasing the car in 1999 its new owner moved to New England taking his classic Healey with him and there it remained until 2012 when it was once again repatriated to the UK and later purchased by our vendor. Presented with a healthy documents file containing much of the car’s history including the original Buff Logbook, and lots of invoices and correspondence between its various owners, it’s clear that this car has been well maintained and much loved throughout its life, and whilst in the care of our vendor has obviously enjoyed similar attention and we are told, was used on an almost weekly basis. Some significant restoration was undertaken three years ago including extensive body work and a quality repaint by marque specialists Rawles at a cost of £7,572, and we believe that a number of relevant invoices for this work are in the file. A true enthusiast’s car in exemplary condition with a good history file that is now looking for a new custodian to enjoy and experience that special Healey magic.

www.s i l versto nea ucti o ns.c om
The 1973 Porsche 911S represented the pinnacle of Porsche’s sportscar programme in the early 1970s, bettered only in performance terms by the 2.7RS. It was the last year of lightweight cars before the advent of impact bumpers. The 1973 ‘S’ was fitted with the final development of the free revving 2.4 litre, type 911/53 engine producing 190bhp. The transmission also benefitted from the new 915 gearbox, which was stronger and offered an improved gear change. The ‘aero’ package was improved by fitting a front valance spoiler which reduced front-end lift. Coupled with Porsche’s total domination of the World Sportscar Championship and Steve McQueen’s endorsement in the film, ‘Le Mans’, they could do no wrong with the now iconic 1973 911S and its derivatives. Most manufacturers struggle with torsional rigidity when trying to convert their coupés into convertibles (the other way around is often easier), and Porsche were no exception in the early sixties when trying to let the breeze into their new 901 (later 911). The solution was to build the car with a roll hoop as part of the chassis and when this was streamlined and cosmetically enhanced it worked well, and the result was an attractive “half-convertible” that was stiff and handled predictably. At a marketing meeting to decide a name for this new concept, Cologne dealerWalter Franz threw “Targa” into the hat conjuring up images of their success with an open-top car in the hard-fought Targa Florio under

1988 FERRARI GTS TURBO
The Ferrari GTS and GTB Turbo were launched in 1986 and were the final developments of the transverse V8 engine 2-seater Ferrari series. Essentially the GTS Turbo was, as the name implies, a turbocharged variant of the 328 GTS, but fitted with a 2 litre engine due to an Italian tax law that penalized engines larger than 2 litres. Like the 328 GTS, the GTS Turbo model presented a softening of the wedge profile of its predecessor, the 208 GTS Turbo, with a redesigned nose that had a more rounded profile, complemented by similar treatment to the tail valance panel. The body styling and cabin were the same as the 328 series and included all the latest aerodynamic and ergonomic improvements added by Pininfarina. It is interesting to note that this model offered performance comparable to the 328, which was powered by the naturally aspirated version of the 3.2-litre. 0-100 km/h took just 6.3 seconds and the top speed was 253 km/h. From 1986 to 1989, a total of 828 GTS Turbos were manufactured by Ferrari. With the company once again turning its attention to turbocharged engines, these GTB and GTS Turbos can be seen as the forefathers of this most recent revolution. Having been made in such low numbers, they are eminently collectable cars today and would be appropriate additions to any collection.

The interior is also completely original and standard with the seats displaying no wear or discolouration and all dials and gauges operate perfectly and show healthy readings. Even the boot is factory fresh with the first aid kit still in its protective film. Silverstone Auctions have never seen a more original or more authentic example.
Aston Martin at Tickford were assigned to convert the 500 cars. Work included upgrading engines to 224bhp (with the potential to exceed 400bhp with extra boost in race trim), numerous aerodynamic enhancements including a 30mm lip spoiler applied directly to the rear edge of the tailgate to increase rear downforce. New and larger cooling ducts for both the brakes and the engine intercooler were added at the front in addition to a larger and more effective chin spoiler, known as a “”splitter”. The car was only available through 90 nominated RS specialist dealers and was sold for the price of £19,950.
Interestingly this Cossie was supplied new by Ford main dealers, Premier Motors in the Isle of Wight to it’s first owner on 17-09-1987 ~ a certain Gabriele Rafanelli ~ who was the wealthy owner of Motor Sport Team Bigazzi and a well-known serial car collector. It remained under his care at his French home until the late 1990’s covering just 8,500 miles under his ownership. It then passed hands for the first time to the equally well known Chairman of the German Cosworth Club, Eckhard Lips.

1989 FERRARI TESTAROSSA
When Ferrari introduced the Testarossa in Paris in 1984 it was regarded as possibly the best car Ferrari had ever built but, whilst the design was spectacular, it was not considered to be as sensually beautiful as numerous Ferrari Grand Tourers of the past. Instead Pininfarina had designed a modern, aerodynamic and efficient body, immediately recognisable by its very distinctive side strakes unlike anything else seen before. The name ‘Testarossa’, literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the 50s and 60s and was resurrected at the launch of their new model at the Paris Show at Porte de Versailles in 1984. Housing a 4.9 litre V12 engine producing 390bhp, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossas were made in total. Once again time showed Pininfarina’s design to be durable and throughout the eighties the distinctive ‘strakes’ were copied in countless contexts. Simultaneously the Testarossa proved itself to be a well-built car, and despite its towering high price from new, turned out to be Ferrari’s most successful model ever.

Today it’s a design icon, symbolic of eighties culture, and despite a period in the “boondocks” its popularity is returning rapidly. It’s not a surprise really, since the Testarossa offers a rare package of powerful performance, practicality and comfort and its groundbreaking design works equally well on the highway or in an exhibition of contemporary art. This two owner, left-hand drive 1989 model was delivered new to Switzerland and driven sparingly before the current owner acquired it in 2010 with a mere 6,900 kilometers on the clock. After thoroughly recommissioning the car, including a colour change from the original white to the traditional Rosso, the car went on its first long road trip to its birthplace in Maranello. As the Testarossa proved itself to be a comfortable and long legged travel companion, the second owner thoroughly enjoyed the car on many further trips to Italy, Switzerland and France and in his ownership put another 40,000 kilometers on the clock, which now indicates 47.000. This Testarossa appears to be a well maintained and cared for example of this statement Ferrari and is ready to be used and enjoyed yet further.

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine ‘Supercar’ that defined the Seventies and Eighties and was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0 Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche’s 917/30 Can-Am programme. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail and the brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. This 1988 930 Turbo is a hugely desirable UK model and is finished in Grand Prix White with a two-tone blue and white leather interior. It was supplied new on 5th February 1988 to its first and only registered keeper by Coopers of Exeter.

1974 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 3 ROADSTER
Jaguar introduced the E-Type in March 1961 to worldwide acclaim, and its early forays into motor sport were rewarded in May of that year, when Graham Hill celebrated the type’s first win at Oulton Park. Success on the track was reflected on Monday mornings in the showrooms, and this was to continue right up until 1974 with over 70,000 E-Types eventually produced in Coventry. From 1961, the E-Type evolved and improved with every iteration from the original Series 1 Coupés and Roadsters, through the Series 2 cars of the late 1960s until finally the Series 3 arrived in late 1971, this 5.3 V12 only being available as a convertible or a ‘2+2’. The Series 3 was built on a slightly longer wheelbase with appropriate chassis modifications and larger, more effective brakes in the hope of coping with the turbine smooth 272bhp delivered by the V12. The grill was enlarged and the beautiful lines were enhanced with flared wheel arches. It now had the ride quality that could match any of its GT rivals, and with power steering and the, now optional air-conditioning, it possessed the civility and approachability that would make it attractive to a slightly different customer base. Approximately 7,990 Series 3 Convertibles were sold worldwide before production ceased. Offered here is a stunning 1974, right-hand drive, manual, Jaguar V12 E-type in the ever popular colour combination of Signal Red with a black interior. A note in the history file explains that the car had been little used over a period of twenty years and amongst a number of old MoTs, one dated April 1991 details a mileage of 34,000, which suggests that the current indicated mileage of around 47,000 may well be correct.

Anyone who has driven a number of early E-Types can explode the myth that they are good to drive unless they have been upgraded (brakes, gearbox, cooling etc.), however doing so on a very valuable original car may well have financial consequences. It makes so much more sense to open the garage door, start your Series 3, put the top down and go where you want to go, and at today’s guide price it’s an excellent option.

1999 FERRARI 360 F1 MODENA
In 1999, Ferrari knew that it was time to replace their much loved 355 and consequently the 360 was introduced to critical acclaim and immediately set a new benchmark for supercar styling and performance. The 360 Modena design was revolutionary, making extensive use of lightweight materials in its construction resulting in a much lighter car along with substantially increased rigidity. Ferrari also paid particular attention to improving the under-body aerodynamics using knowledge gained from their F1 programme and the 360 boasts a completely flat bottom with two prominent rear diffusers.
Having covered just 18,818 miles from new as verified by the service records and past MoT test certificates, it was subject to a cambelt service in 2014 and earlier this year was sent to Terry Keys, renowned Ferrari Specialists, who replaced the front ball joints on the car. The full service history for the car is as follows:
The 3586cc engine produced a staggering 400bhp, resulting in a 0-60 time of just 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 186mph, and the Pininfarina designed bodyshell presented an exceptionally clean, low-drag profile without the need for additional wings, flares or blisters. Another striking feature is the large glass rear screen that proudly displays the engine in all its glory. Introduced at the Geneva Show in March 1999 the 360 Modena, not unsurprisingly, swelled Ferrari’s order books and within weeks there was a two-year waiting list. Supplied by the UK main Ferrari agents Maranello Concessionaires, based in Egham in Surrey, this Ferrari 360 F1 is finished in Grigio Alloy, which has a gorgeous subtle hint of blue, and the interior is superbly trimmed in black leather.

Launched in 1980, the Mulsanne was effectively a Bentley version of the new Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and was virtually identical apart from a slightly different radiator treatment and a more sporting interior. In 1982, a Turbo version joined the range with 50% more power, sports suspension, sports seats, a revised centre console and alloy wheels. This was followed in 1987 by the Mulsanne S, which shared all the sporting features of the Turbo model and, from 1989, gained quad round headlamps instead of twin rectangular ones whilst still retaining a normally aspirated version of the familiar 6,750cc V8 engine, now fitted with Bosch Jetronic fuel injection. With height adjustable suspension and massive brake discs all round, it was patently quick enough for most owners, wafting up to 60mph in 10 seconds with a top speed of 129mph. Just 909 Mulsanne S models were produced before it was replaced by the similar Brooklands evocation in 1992. This Bentley Mulsanne S was supplied new by Broughtons of Cheltenham in January 1990, and was specially ordered in the, very distinctive, two-tone Cotswold Beige over Bordeaux with a contrasting Parchment hide interior with red piping, red carpets, red lambswool over-rugs and a red dashboard top roll. It remained in the ownership of one family passing to the original owners Wife and subsequently Daughter until it was eventually sold in February 2012.

www.s i l versto nea ucti o ns.c om
The first Aston Martin V8 Volante rolled off the production line at Newport Pagnell in 1978 to worldwide acclaim and went on to be Aston’s saviour. Much like its older siblings, the DB5 and DB6, the V8 Volante kept the order books full by conquering the North American market. As the convertible version of the new luxury Oscar India V8, the car had the brutish good looks of an aristocratic rugby player and the interior refinement of a gentleman’s club. If the contemporary Ferrari of its day was likened to a ‘prancing playboy in snakeskin loafers’ the Aston V8 Volante was the solid chap in burnished brogues, equally at ease in town or country. When Timothy Dalton took over as James Bond in the 1987 film “The Living Daylights” he did so behind the wheel of the most appropriate car of its era, a V8 Volante. Bestowing the virtues of its heritage, luxury and power, the V8 Volante helped ease Mr Dalton into the role of the quintessential British spy. The car was to feature prominently throughout the film, with the “Winterised” version eventually falling foul of its own self-destruct button. This 1979 V8 Volante has the distinction of being an early righthand drive Volante in rare Tourmaline Blue with Fawn leather piped blue. The 5.3 litre V8 barks into life effortlessly and then settles to a contented burble. When the current owner purchased the car from Aston specialists Runnymeade in 2010 he started a comprehensive period of restoration and enhancement to his own exacting standards and lots of corrective work was carried out to the boot floor, sills and floor pan. The notoriously fickle servo assisted brakes were rebuilt and now stop the car without a heart-lurching pause and the suspension, which takes a bit of a hammering in such a heavy car, was stripped, rebushed and reassembled to the factory settings. The dark blue mohair hood works perfectly at the touch of a button.

At this time the owner decided to enhance his driving pleasure by commissioning the respected Aston Workshop to fit a six-speed gearbox from a DB7, effortlessly mating the 5.3 litre V8 to the transmission. The original automatic gearbox and all its ancillaries were retained and will be supplied with the car. To suit the conversion, the speedometer was replaced with a later Aston model with a digital odometer and blends in easily amongst the burr walnut surround. The original indicated mileage of 43,966 is believed to have been correct and marries nicely with a number of bills and old MoTs on file. Since this work was carried out, the current owner has added a mere 2,900 miles. The history file lists nearly £50,000 worth of service and maintenance bills by Aston main dealers and marque specialists. There are over 180 photographs in the history file, detailing the work at various stages. The car is regretfully offered for sale as the vendor has numerous business commitments and no local storage, and after a ‘last hurrah’ with his family on board to Goodwood Revival, is ready to part with his beloved Aston. Presenting today, to this consignor’s eye, in a good used condition this lovely Aston stands square in a fabulous colour combination. There are some small patches of paint reaction evident, however, the mechanical and underbody components appear to be in tip top condition. The private registration has been retained since photography and the car is now registered with its original number ‘OPT 775’. With prices of Volantes reaching ever higher and offered with the original gearbox and components should the new owner choose to restore it to its original specification, this car offers superlative value in this heightened Aston market.

1982 LOTUS EXCEL (PROTOTYPE)
The Type 89 Lotus Excel, built from 1982 to 1992, is a front engined, rear-wheel drive sports car designed and built by Lotus Cars. It was based on the design of the earlier Lotus Eclat, which itself was based on the earlier Lotus Elite II During its lifetime, the Excel received two major upgrades. With the introduction of the Excel SE, a 180 bhp engine was fitted (up from 160 bhp) and in October 1985, the bumpers, wings, dashboard and the interior were changed. In October 1986, the Excel SA with automatic gearbox was introduced. Further facelifts in 1989 saw Citroën-derived mirrors, as featured on the Esprit, and 15 inch OZ alloy wheels to a similar pattern as the Esprits. The Excel is also known for its high cornering power and excellent handling thanks to 50:50 weight distribution. In 2014, 415 were still registered in the United Kingdom, but at that point 240 of them were SORNd (Statutory Off Road Notification). James May purchased one on the television show Top Gear in the fourth episode of season 15. Top Gear also used a Lotus Excel in the James Bond 50th Anniversary Special and converted it into a submarine. This was done to prove the Lotus Esprit used in The Spy Who Loved Me wasn’t science fiction. The current vendor, purchased this car at the NEC a few years ago and after doing some research on YAH 865X and talking with Lotus Cars

directly, stumbled across the fact that this chassis number 1144 was indeed the first prototype Excel, known as the M55 project and later to become project 89. This makes YAH a very special car. It was at this point that Brian decided that the car was certainly worth completely rebuilding due to its rarity factor, so the car underwent a complete nut and bolt restoration and it was during this time that other facts came to light confirming his findings. The nearside interior door card once removed, revealed markings “M55 First Off Jig”, and other panels had “First Off Master “ to name a couple. Over a period of time the body was stripped back and was completely painted Red including the bumpers, however it has now gone back to the original Graphite coloured bumpers as it was when it left the factory. The interior has been given new seat coverings, head lining and all new door cards. Mechanically, again all aspects have been rebuilt using brand new components with many coming via Lotus Bits, including the rear axle, prop shaft and the Toyota gearbox. Considering the amount of time and money he had poured into this restoration, the vendor decided he did not want to drive it in case it was damaged, so it has spent the last two years of its life being admired by many in a Museum in Scotland. He has now decided to offer this on the open market for someone else to enjoy and although not MoT’d, the Lotus has been re-commisioned for the road, including a new cambelt, and all the fluids have been changed .

Apart from gaining a much-needed extra factory, Jaguar’s acquisition of Daimler in 1960 also brought with it their exquisite, Ed Turnerdesigned V8 engine. By installing this 2,548cc ‘hemi’ into the MKII body shell, Jaguar hoped to create a more exclusive, upmarket car that would appeal to Daimler’s more traditional client base. Launched in 1962, the new model was instantly distinguished from its Jaguar siblings by the traditional Daimler fluted grille and was initially only available with a bench front seat and 3-speed automatic box. It was updated in 1967, with reclining front seats, slimmer bumpers and a dynamo, rather than an alternator, looked after charging. It also came with a heated rear screen and various other upgrades. This model was known as the V8-250 rather than the 2.5-V8. Otherwise identical to the MKII Jaguar, it featured all round disc brakes, independent front suspension and a Panhard rod located live rear axle. With 140bhp and 155lbft of torque on tap from its magnificently smooth and sonorous V8, the Daimler was capable of 115mph. It was also said to enjoy superior chassis dynamics compared to its Jaguar siblings thanks to its more favourable weight distribution with its lighter engine.

restoration. The prospect seemed a bit daunting, but he considered it worth doing as the car had a lot of history including its original Buff Log Book, a pile of bills and receipts for expenditure over the years, and the original service record and main dealer warranty card. This Daimler has now been totally rebuilt and today looks fabulous. The body preparation and multiple coats of paint, in its original Opalescent Green, alone cost in excess of £8000, and this single factor gives an indication of the level of restoration works undertaken over the past year and a half. The underside of the car is as good as the top in terms of the finish and seeing is most certainly believing. Likewise, no expense has been spared in the interior with all the wood cappings taken back and re-varnished, the leather re-Connolised and luxurious wool carpets fitted as a finishing touch. All the exterior brightwork has been dipped and plated and the wheels restored and new tyres fitted. Naturally, the engine and gearbox have been stripped and rebuilt and, as one might expect in a restoration this thorough, every other mechanical aspect of this sixties saloon has received attention. This delightful Daimler is in amazing condition and would be a great addition to any car collection, and Daimlers, we are assured, always did have a little more style!

1992 FERRARI 512 TR
Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa (F110) at the 1984 Paris Motor Show, marking the end of production of the legendary Boxer that had been the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa (Red Head) paid homage to the great 1950’s sports racers that originally bore that name, referring to their bright red rocker box covers. The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the centre of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car resulting in the weight distribution being 40/ 60 front and rear, almost an ideal balance in terms of road holding and steering response. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor, some 6 inches wider and 2.5 inches longer at 2550mm, allowing for more leg room and combined with the raised roof height in the cabin made progress a little more comfortable. Production of the 512TR commenced in 1991 with deliveries to customers in 1992 and was effectively a re-engineered Testarossa, although Ferrari were keen that it was regarded as a new model. As well as the slightly less dramatic, but more subtle styling and a few tweaks to the detailing the main changes were chassis and engine related. The power of the 4.9 Litre, 48 valve, flat 12 was increased to 428 bhp from 380 with a similar improvement in torque, and with the benefit of a 30kg

Serving as the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia (the prefix ‘F’ is not used by the factory) was unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Designed to compete with cars like the Porsche RS and the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (super light weight), it is lighter by 100 kg and more powerful, 503bhp at 8500 rpm, than the standard F430. The increased power output stems from a revised intake, redesigned exhaust and an ion sensing knock detection system that allows for a higher compression ratio resulting in the weight-to-power ratio being reduced from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp. In addition to the weight saving measures, the Scuderia semi-automatic transmission gained an improved “Superfast” software system known as “Superfast 2”, creating faster 60 millisecond gearshift times and a new traction control system combined the F1-Trac traction and stability control with the E-Diff electronic differential. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia accelerates from 0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 202 miles per hour (325 km/h). Ferrari claims that around their test track, Fiorano Circuit, it matches the Ferrari Enzo, and the Ferrari F430’s successor, the Ferrari 458.

1999 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL SC AUTO
The original concept for the Bentley Continental R was launched at the 1984 Geneva Motor Show, and was named ‘Project 90’ in order to try and gauge public response to the idea of a long, luxurious, swoopy, two-door Bentley coupé. It wasn’t until 6 years later that the finished car was unveiled to an eager crowd, with the Sultan of Brunei reportedly buying the show car at the exhibition. Styling came with the assistance of consultancy firm International Automotive Design, who used computer-aided design and wind tunnel testing to great effect in creating the streamlined shape of the car. Fitted with a four-speed automatic gearbox and utilising the engine from its predecessor, the Turbo R, the new Continental R could whoosh up to 60mph in under 6 seconds, and on to a top speed in excess of 150mph. Many variants of the Continental were produced, and one of the more unusual was the Continental Sedanca Coupé, or SC as it was more commonly known - a tip of the hat to Bentley’s glorious past when the Sedanca style of two-door, rear seat passenger-focussed bodywork

Names such as Wood and Pickett, Monteverdi and Glenfrome are synonymous with Range Rover conversions, all sold with the approval of Rover, and indeed in some cases, used as future templates for Rover’s own designs. A number of the conversions were destined for warmer climes, with the Middle East a prime destination for these cars. One of the more unusual, but none the less sought after conversions was the convertible Range Rover. When Roger Moore pulled into an equestrian event during the opening scenes of the 1983 Bond film Octopussy in a convertible Range Rover, the demand for this particular conversion soared. One of the best, but little-known coachbuilders who specialised in convertible Range Rovers, was Special Vehicle Conversions (SVC) Ltd. but few have survived and right-hand drive examples are incredibly rare, so naturally it’s our privilege to offer this 1973 Suffix B convertible, believed by our vendor to have been converted by SVC sometime in the late 1980s. Not only has this car been subject to a £20,000 restoration to SVC’s specification but the car’s history and how it came into our vendor’s possession is worthy of a James Bond storyline. The former keeper apparently won the car in a game of cards in the early nineties, and having no space for it, stored it in one of his lock up garages. Fast forward to 2014 and the current vendor, a friend of the owner, heard of the story and was keen to own the car. However, the former keeper couldn’t remember where he had put it, but after a lengthy Land Registry search the correct garage was found, and the dusty

Range Rover was discovered in basically good order having been professionally undersealed before storing, preserving the chassis and structure. There followed a comprehensive eight month, nut and bolt restoration and the car presents wonderfully today finished in Rioja red with a Palomino interior. The Rover 3.5 litre V8 was stripped down fully, finding no major leaks in the process and, as a matter of course, every gasket and core plug was replaced and ancillaries either replaced or reconditioned. The Rostyle wheels are immaculate after a professional refurbishment and keen Range Rover buffs may spot the later horizontal Range Rover front grille, this addition is believed to be a period modification by SVC. To find a right-hand drive early Range Rover conversion is incredibly rare but to find a convertible with just 62,500 miles is very special. The original SVC hood is supplied with the car and is in reasonable order, however the vendor is hoping and get it re-lined prior to our auction. This special Range Rover convertible would be equally at home on a grouse moor on an August afternoon, or burbling down Chelsea’s King’s Road with a different quarry in mind. It’s interesting to note that Range Rover are set to launch their first official soft-top with the arrival of the Evoque Convertible in 2016, some 40 years after SVC’s pioneering work.

1962 MERCEDES-BENZ 190S
Built alongside and sharing many of the iconic styling features of the legendary 300SL Roadster, the Mercedes 190SL combined superlative build quality with understated styling and a not insignificant, 104 BHP from the 1.9 litre four stroke engine. An instant hit, the three-pronged star sparkled among the gloom of post-war austerity. The 1955 launch of the 190SL cemented Mercedes Benz’s reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Its hugely successful production ran to 25,881 cars from 1955 until 1963, mainly in left-hand drive form, with most going to the North American market. Understandably few were made in right-hand drive and according to records, the total number of cars consigned for the British right-hand drive market stood at 562, with only 53 of these arriving here in 1962. XKW 323 has the distinction of being one those ultra-rare righthand drive cars, no doubt taken out for a top-down spin upon first registration on the 18th May 1962. This beautiful little roadster is finished in, what we believe, is the factory correct 050 paint code, and the red interior was retrimmed in red leather, again a period correct colour combination, some ten years ago. With just four former keepers, two of whom were garages, XKW 323 was exported to Dublin in 2004 to be enjoyed by its current owner, who has regretfully decided that the time has come to part with it, with XKW 323 vying for attention with a burgeoning collection of other classic Mercedes-Benz. Remarkably, for a car that is over fifty-three years old, the history file contains the original UK buff log book, data card, original 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL brochure and MoTs dating back to 1981, with

two sets of keys working on each lock. Subject to a bare metal respray and restoration before purchase by the current owner and kept in a heated, ventilated garage, the current owner spared no expense in maintenance. Recent expenditure includes servicing, re-chroming of bumpers, a deep clean of the leather and a full respray in white. This respray wasn’t necessary because of any rust issues, but merely vapour bubbles caused by a heavy old blanket that resisted the urge to dry out fully in the garage. Being a conscientious Mercedes enthusiast, our vendor insisted that XKW 323 should present as well as it did in 1962, and so it does today. The hard top, the bane of any 190SL owner, has seen better days. An annoying, albeit well-meaning, Mercedes-Benz feature meant that the canvas roof would have to be removed to fit the hard top. Although this consignor cannot envisage anyone driving this car in weather that would necessitate a fitted hard top. This consignor has seen 190SL hard tops in far worse condition than this, however, there is a dent to the rear, that mercifully didn’t crack the rear screen. The interior lining shows discolouration, contemporary to its age and lack of use. Presented to auction freshly serviced, the original Solex carbs are running sweetly, with the largely original components behaving as they should.

As a mark of a conscientious vendor, the car will be subject to a UK MoT health report, although not a legal requirement.

1956 TRIUMPH TR3
The TR3 was produced by the Standard-Triumph Motor Company from 1955 until 1957 and was the first British series production car to have front disc brakes as standard. It was powered by the ubiquitous Standard 1991cc four-cylinder engine that now produced around 100 bhp and was mated to a four-speed gearbox which was available with an electrically operated overdrive. Performance was more than adequate, considering the basic cost of below a thousand pounds, with a top speed just a shade over 100mph and 60 miles an hour arriving in a spirited 10.8 seconds, not too shabby for 1955. Only one tenth of the production of over thirteen thousand remained in the UK, as the TR3 sold very well in the USA and was a motorsport ‘stalwart’ in the Sports Car Club of America. The TR3 is a proper ‘Roadster’ in the correct sense of the word and like all early TRs, even though its weather equipment is perfectly adequate and reasonably effective, it is undoubtedly happiest when the day dawns fair and the hood is stowed neatly in the boot. Our little bright red, 1956, TR3 was obviously in its element then, as it was delivered new to South Africa and prior to being shipped to the UK two years ago, enjoyed over fifty years of burbling along the elevated coastal roads of the Cape under a warm South African sun. Having imported it in 2013 our vendor, who lives near Stratford, decided to fully restore the TR and set about the task with enthusiasm.

The objective was to return it to the specification in which it left the factory and after the car was stripped completely the body-shell was repainted Signal Red to the excellent standard you see here. The wheels were finished in black and the grille in its original silver. The whole restoration was recorded with dozens of photographs (in the file) so there is no point in listing everything that was done, however to summarise; the engine, gearbox and overdrive were stripped and rebuilt with narrow belt pulleys being fitted, new brakes throughout, new aluminium fuel tank and lines, new exhaust, all the instruments and gauges were rebuilt and an independent cooling fan fitted. The car was re-assembled and fully re-trimmed in black with a new matching soft-top, and the wheels were restored and four new tyres fitted. Wherever possible, all the parts used in this fastidious restoration were original Standard-Triumph or from one of the many dedicated parts suppliers specialising in early TRs. As well as the photographs the comprehensive History File contains a pile of relevant invoices, the V5C, an MoT certificate expiring on 07/10/16, its HMRC Import Clearance, the Heritage Certificate and the Number Plate Authorisation. Clearly no stone has been left unturned returning ‘968 UYM back to this happy state and it has only covered a handful of miles since. This is a fabulous example of a wonderful British classic and is sure to provide endless enjoyment for its new owner.

This original ‘S’ code 1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback has undergone a 2000 plus hour restoration to full Shelby GT500 specification. It’s rotisserie based rebuild saw the original body sandblasted back to bare metal, then shaped and formed into a highly accurate ‘Eleanor’, right down to the formed metal wheel arches. The Redline Weber fuel injected engine is a Ford 427 cubic inch V8 mated to an uprated 5 speed Tremec T5 transmission. Additional engine modifications include; a Scat 4340 Crankshaft with 4’’ strokes, Scat 6.2’’H Beam Rods, KB Forged Flat Top Pistons, Clevite Bearings and a Ford Racing Aluminium Tall Valve Cover. In turn, this Mustang is not for the faint hearted and requires a delicate right foot in order to fully exploit its reputed monstrous 500+ bhp performance. Finished in Dupont paint in the correct Pepper Grey metallic with black Stripes, further improvements have been made to all drivetrain, suspension and braking components. The highest performing Baer disc brakes feature front and rear 13” drilled and slotted rotors with four pot calipers, master cylinder, proportioning valve and all associated fittings and lines. A brand new high-performance Zoom 10.5’’ Clutch has been fully set up with cable conversion. The suspension boasts Vari-Shock fully adjustable dampers and the latest ‘G Bar’ Independent Rear End with Flaming River power rack and pinion steering. The resulting handling experience ensures that this Mustang can corner effectively at speed as nearly every component has been carefully selected to compliment modern driving conditions with 7 litre V8 power.

Finally, A 2.25’’ rear outlet exhaust system with Tri-Y headers and Stainless tips produces an orchestral V8 roar that is sure to set off any car alarm in the near vicinity. Immediately after his purchase of the car in 2011, our vendor, who is a knowledgeable automotive engineer, set about a number of jobs that he felt needed to be done. The steering mechanism was simplified, the car’s ride height raised slightly, the dampers re-set and the corner weights balanced and the car now handles much better and is considerably easier to live with. The handbrake was rebuilt completely and now works, and the fuel tank has been properly vented. The American engine management arrangements were binned, and a race proven, state of the art ‘Motec’management system was fitted, and when the fuelling and ignition were correctly set up- ‘Hey Presto’another 150 horses were able to come out and play. Two new bespoke exhaust manifolds were fabricated at a cost of £900 each and look stunning and finally, a set of tailor-made, silicone HT leads have just been fitted.

1966 MERCEDES-BENZ 250 SE CONVERTIBLE MANUAL LHD (W108)
Mercedes-Benz emerged from World War II as a carmaker in the early 1950s, with the expensive 300 Adenauer and the exclusive 300SL grand tourers finding a ready market in recovering European economies, however, by 1956 work was already underway on replacing these cars with a design focused on passenger comfort and safety. The basic cabin was widened and squared off, driver visibility improved and passenger safety enhanced with the addition of retractable seatbelts and crumple zones. With styling aimed squarely at pleasing North American customers, the bodywork was modern and featured characteristic tailfins that gave the models their nickname - “The Fintail”. This distinctive styling cue, originally intended to improve aerodynamic stability, died out within a few years as a fashion accessory. By the time the 2-door coupé and cabriolet W111s were launched, the fins had lost their chrome trim and sharp appearance and the arrival of the W113 Pagoda in 1963 saw them further buried into the trunk’s contour, and they finally disappeared on the W100 600 in 1964. The upgrade of the W111 began in 1961 and ended in 1963 with the W108. Although the fins’ departure was the most visible change, the W108 compared to the W111 had a lower body waistline increasing the window area and had a lower ride and wider doors. The result was a visibly new car with a more sleek appearance and an open and spacious interior.

These Mercedes-Benz were built to challenge all luxury car manufacturers in the 1960s, hand built, with the very best robust materials used, they were considered to be truly lavish and elite vehicles. With a production run of just two years, and with only 900 Cabriolets built, these are amongst the rarest examples of sixties Mercedes-Benz top-down motoring. Ordered by a customer in the US, who collected the vehicle in person from the factory, this rare, left-hand drive four-seater cabriolet example of the 250 SE W108 was later exported to New Zealand. Since then the car has had over $250,000nz spent on a body-off, bare metal restoration, including all mechanicals, and reportedly drives as it would have done when new. An extensive restoration and receipt file accompanies the vehicle including photos, and the original dealer invoice records from new. The car is fitted with the four-speed manual option and power steering, and with the fuel-injected engine has a top speed of around 120mph. A lovely colour combination of silver with red leather interior resonates with the car’s American roots. An elegant, stand-out vehicle that has undergone a no expense spared detailed restoration, this S-Class would enhance any collection whilst still providing an unequalled open-top touring experience.

2006 ASTON MARTIN DB9 VOLANTE
Launched at the 2003 Frankfurt motor show, the exceptional Aston Martin DB9 promised to be one of the most sought after supercars of the decade. Henrik Fisker’s flowing design retained all the good looks of its predecessor, the highly acclaimed DB7. Weight was kept low by the use of aluminium and composites for the bodywork while power from the V12 was a healthy 450bhp. This provided the Aston with acceleration to 100mph from standstill in only 10 seconds, then on to a near 190mph maximum speed. Weight distribution was a perfect 50:50 thanks to the front-mid engine layout with rear-mounted sequential transmission. Having covered a mere 11,789 miles from new with just 3 owners, this DB9 Volante is in pristine condition inside and out. The service history is equally impressive and substantiates the low mileage and provides reassurance that the car has been maintained carefully and cherished by its former owners. There is a total of 9 stamps in the service book. The bodywork is finished in Rothesay Red and all panels are free from ripples or evidence of damage or repair. The paintwork is original and retains a deep shine. In addition, the front of the car has been protected

with clear film in order to prevent unsightly stone chips. The interior is finished in cream leather and compliments the paintwork beautifully. The leather is blemish free and the carpets look factory fresh. The soft top is in stunning condition with no marks to the canvas or Alcantara headlining. The roof operating system works without fault at the push of a button. A mechanical condition report has been carried out by respected engineers Terry Keys who state: “The engine fires up with haste and sounds powerful yet civilized. The engine is in perfect health and was last serviced at 9,296 miles on 16th April 2015. The gearbox operates without fault and offers seamless gear changes in both automatic mode or using the paddles. On the road, the car handles sublimely and is remarkably refined over even the bumpiest of terrain. No untoward noises or knocks can be felt or heard and the car tracks perfectly true with no vibration.” This DB9 Volante represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a low mileage Aston Martin at a fraction of its cost when new.

Manufactured in November 1952 and registered on the 6th December 1952 ( 1953 model year ), MRU 54 is a Series 1, 80” Land Rover with its original two-litre, Siamese-bore, overhead inlet side valve engine and according to its chassis number (36101879) it’s an early Basic Home Vehicle. It has an aluminium bulkhead which was fitted to a number of early 80 inchers for a short period as the large steel press used to form the common bulkhead broke down and Land Rover had no option but to hand form these essential parts of the structure from aluminium. It appears from the original ‘buff log book’ that MRU 54 spent most of its life moving around Southern England before being purchased by our vendor, Julian Hussey, with the intention of restoring it to its former glory. He is a lifelong Land Rover enthusiast and is respected for his attention to detail, and MRU 54 is now a testament to his enthusiasm and ability. Julian has undertaken a full ground-up nut and bolt restoration to a standard approaching ‘Concours’and has been fortunate to have the support of Tom Pickford one of the leading authorities on early Land Rovers. Tom’s specialised knowledge has helped Julian achieve a high level of correct detail throughout the rebuild. Most components, including nuts and bolts, have been restored if found to be serviceable

and if not, the correct parts were either sourced from dedicated suppliers including Dunsfold DLR, Tom Pickford and Series One Club members, or remanufactured by hand to original specifications. The original engine has naturally been rebuilt, and the gearbox, transfer box and axles overhauled. It has a new fuel tank made by hand to original specifications, new brake lines and overhauled original cast iron wheel cylinders.The additional work required to produce the result you see here today is too extensive to list, but the vendor will happily supply full details. Finally, this amazing ‘Landie’ was painted in the correct Land Rover Bronze Green with a delicate matt sheen to maintain a look suited to the vehicles age and to finish the restoration it sports new green square back seats and a classic khaki hood supplied by Tom Pickford. MRU 54 is accompanied by an album of pictures taken during its rebuild along with a file of old MoTs and receipts etc. collected throughout its life. Early Land Rovers have returned to fashion now and a good number have been or are being restored, however I think you might struggle to find one as good as this.

1929 MORRIS-COMMERCIAL INTERNATIONAL TAXICAB
When Scotland Yard changed the regulations for taxicabs, motoring legend William Morris took advantage and launched The MorrisCommercial International Taxicab in 1929. We now come to the unique story of UL 8563, fondly known as Uncle Lima and the only known survivor of a total production run of 840 Morris-Commercial Taxicabs. Built in 1929 with a higher roof line, and known as an Upright Grand, to accommodate the regulations that a gentleman may sit in the back whilst wearing a top hat. The driver however has little comfort apart from a small gutter to keep the rain off. The interior boasts many innovations of its time such as an electric speaking tube, an hygienic successor to the voice tube. The rear folding landau-style hood section, was another safety feature, allowing easy escape from a crashed vehicle. The story of Uncle Lima, how it survived various incidents and how it came into the current vendor Mr Broughton’s possession some forty seven years ago is worthy of a Hollywood screenplay. Found languishing in a barn on Salisbury Plain and used as a farm vehicle since 1939 and throughout the war by land girls for food production. On May 8th 1945 two inebriated soldiers from the Black Watch Regiment in high spirts for the VE celebrations decided to take it for a spin without permission, and crashed it into a wooden army barracks. Uncle Lima was then towed back to the farmer, pending repair and found by Mr Broughton some twenty odd years later. After some judicious bargaining Uncle Lima was bought for the price of a barren cow, and loaded onto Mr Broughton’s lorry, complete with stones and

scrap metal in the rear. The farmer often collected scrap metal around the Plain to help with the weight when traversing the fields. Once back in Wales and upon closer inspection the scrap metal was found to include two unexploded motor bombs and an anti-tank rocket. A hasty phone call to the farmer was placed who informed Mr Broughton that they were duds. Being a cautious man, Mr Broughton contacted the police who immediately contacted the SAS Regiment in nearby Brecon who confirmed they were fully operational. They insisted that the armaments were too dangerous to move and wanted to blow them up whilst still in the back of car. After a stand-off Mr Broughton saw down the SAS and the bombs were taken out and blown up safely some distance away. A lengthy period of restoration was undertaken and Uncle Lima was ready for the 1975 Commercial London to Brighton Run and competing in many rallies. Uncle Lima has also had the distinction of being in numerous wedding albums of Mr Broughton’s family as the conveyance of choice. Offered today in superb mechanical order, and this consignor can confirm, having enjoyed a trip in the rear, that the car performs well in traffic with a maximum speed of 45 mile per hour. Mr Broughton will also include an operating guide, and an incredibly rare copy of the Morris-Commercial International Taxi Cab Handbook and various spares. The prospective purchaser would be advised to make some correction to corrosion showing underneath the paint on the doors in the not too distant future. Ready to use for enjoyment or lucrative filming and promotion opportunities the incredible story is as unique as the car.

1966 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE
The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid’60s the biggest population bubble in history was now coming of age in America, ‘baby boomers’ would rule the ‘60s and there was little or no reason to think they wanted to drive cars that were anything like the ones their parents owned. The iconic Ford Mustang, therefore, created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and consequently it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon. The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘notchback’ coupé or convertible. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon the cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear end design, both its roof and bonnet were also lower in comparison. It’s with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches as the galloping horse in the grille, the cut-away side detailing and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car that people were instantly passionate about.

Offered here is a traditional, first generation, left-hand drive example in Deep Red with a black leather interior. Manufactured in 1966 and later imported to the UK in the 70s, the car has recently undergone a full nut and bolt ‘rotisserie’ restoration and upgrade (July 2012) by a leading Mustang expert. This extensive restoration included; modern power rack & pinion steering, upgraded braking system, full leather interior and high-quality mohair electric roof and, as a result, the car is rust free and mechanically sound. It is always difficult to describe the quality of a restoration but you can be sure that a ‘rotisserie’ rebuild is often that touch more detailed, as it’s considerably easier carrying out re-assembly and painting when everything is at arm’s length and easy to see clearly. Have a look at the photos of the underside of this lovely Mustang and you’ll see what we mean. Full details of all the work carried out are with the car. With its 5-speed manual gearbox and rumbling ‘289’, this feisty Mustang should deliver a great, top down, driving experience, and provide all the atmosphere of a ‘Pony Car’ on Route 66.
The 1966 Mustang debuted with moderate trim changes including a new grille, side ornamentation, wheel covers and fuel cap. Previously optional features, including the round gauges and padded sun visors, became standard equipment. The Mustang convertible would turn out to be the best selling car of its type in 1966, with 72,119 sold, beating the Impala by almost 2:1.

1993 SIERRA SAPPHIRE RS COSWORTH 4X4
The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was introduced at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show as a means of homologating the Sierra for Group A Touring Car racing. These regulations dictated that a minimum of 5,000 were built and sold, and eventually Ford complied with 5,545 finding homes. Based on the three-door Sierra body shell, it was designed by Ford’s Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2.0-litre turbo engine of now legendary repute. The RS Cosworth used a 204bhp 2.0 litre DOHC engine with a Garret T3 turbocharger and intercooler enabling it to reach 62mph in 6.8 seconds and top speed of 150mph. In 1986, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a blue-collar hero able to humble true sports cars. In January 1990, the third generation Sierra RS Cosworth was launched, this time with four wheel drive. As early as 1987, Mike Moreton and Ford Motorsport had been talking about a four wheel drive Sierra RS Cosworth that could make Ford competitive in the World Rally Championship. Ford Motorsport’s desire for a 3-door “Motorsport Special” equivalent to the original Sierra RS Cosworth was not embraced. The more discreet 4-door version was considered to have a better marketing potential and it was therefore decided that the new car should be a natural development of the second generation, to be launched in conjunction with the facelift scheduled for the entire Sierra line in 1990. Launched to huge acclaim, the 4x4 RS Cosworth was superceded by the Mondeo in 1992, which brings us neatly to this immaculate example here today. For K916 ATX has the distinction of being the last

Sierra 4x4 Cosworth from the production line at Genk, as confirmed by a letter from the Operations Manager at Ford Genk, Germany. Delivered new on the 2nd March 1993 to a Mr Gambling, he must have been made an attractive offer by Ford dealers Fordthorne of Cardiff, as he sold it to them on 3rd August 1993. There then followed a long period of ownership by Fordthorne, who regularly serviced and maintained the car, with detailed receipts on file, although the service book was not stamped. In 2009, the car was purchased by a Mr Bailey who kept the car for some five years before purchase by the current owner, who added it to his extensive ‘fast’ Ford collection. The car presents immaculately today, the unmarked and rare, Mallard Green paintwork gleams and the black leather Recaro seats show little, if any, signs of wear, understandably for a car showing just 20,0026 miles. This figure is backed up by every MoT except one (from 1999), which we believe was due to the car being off the road, pre the days of SORN and therefore not showing on any records. It should be noted that according to HPI results the car was shown as having once been white. There is nothing in the history file or service receipts that attest to this change of colour and we believe it is a (not uncommon) error by the DVLA. With prices of its predecessor, the RS500 Cosworth, reaching dizzy heights, this eminently usable and more subtle Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 provides excellent value for money and is an opportunity to own an icon of early Nineties performance cars, one of the fastest appreciating sectors of the classic collector market.

1996 FORD ESCORT COSWORTH LUX
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth proved that it was possible to follow its legendary 1980’s Sierra namesake. Just like the Lancia Integrale and Subaru Impreza, this was a Group A rally car for the road - pure and simple. It was actually underpinned by a shortened version of the Sierra Cosworth RS Cosworth’s platform and powered by the same 2.0-litre turbocharged longitudinally-mounted Cosworth-developed engine driving all four wheels. The car was designed and engineered in Boreham, was styled by noted designer Stephen Harper, and ended up being assembled by Karmann in Germany. At launch in 1994, two models were available, the club-spec standard car at £21,380 and the Lux version, which included electric windows, heated screen, sunroof, and Recaro seats. Power was up slightly from the Sierra RS Cosworth, at 227bhp, and performance consequently improved. The first 2,500 cars up to May 1994 suffered from turbo lag, but the next 4,500 were improved thanks to their smaller Garrett T25 Turbo. In 1995, the RS Cosworth was treated to a mild facelift where it received a new honeycomb grille, restyled bumpers, a more attractive fascia and revised alloy wheels. The car continued until early 1996,

when emissions regulations forced it out of production. Like pretty much every RS Ford, it was a classic from the moment it was built. This right hand drive UK car is a 5 owner, (3 in the same family), very low mileage example and was one of the last off the production line. Built in 1996 it is finished in White with the Lux black leather and appears to be in standard factory specification, which is very rare these days for this model. The comprehensive service history fully warrants the current odometer reading of 7,700 miles and indeed before the car goes through the auction RS Ford specialist, Graham Goode, will conduct a thorough service including a cam belt change, consolidating the love and attention this example has experienced. It’s likely that Escort Cosworths will continue to rise in value, like their Sierra Cosworth cousins, and this surely is one of the best examples available. Sold with a new MoT this has to be one of the nicest Escort Cosworths around.

1997 FERRARI 355 SPIDER
The F355 Spider debuted in 1995, its Pininfarina-penned lines honed by 1,800 hours in the wind tunnel, resulting in a blend of aerodynamic performance and elegant style. For the first time on a Ferrari, the semiautomatic soft-top was powered electrically. Initially, the Spider was offered with a 6-speed transmission and just 2,664 of these were produced. The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V8 generated a stunning 380 horsepower at a spine-tingling 8,250 rpm. The new electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface. Around Ferrari’s 1.86 mile Fiorano test track, the 355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12 cylinder 512 TR and that level of performance combined with its sensational shape made it a worldwide success story. The Ferrari 355 was a huge improvement over its predecessor in every respect and turned out to be a landmark car for the Italian marque. Considered the forerunner of all modern Ferraris, the 355 is a car that is every bit as exciting and beautiful and not to mention fast as any Ferrari should be, but it is all available in a very accessible and wellmannered package.

Added to that impressive cocktail, the Spider offers the pleasures of open-air driving with much better access to the grin-inducing howl of that powerful V8 at a heady 8,250 rpm. Today’s example is offered in the dinner-jacket smooth colour combination of Nero with a contrasting biscuit leather interior, and was delivered new to Berlin in 1997. This model sports a manual gearbox, to many drivers essential when it comes to fully enjoying an Italian thoroughbred. Imported into the UK in 1998, the old V5 is clipped to its Swedish papers, along with bills for routine servicing, including the latest in February this year, as well as receipts for the rebuilding of the cylinder heads. The 355 Spider offers the full convertible experience whilst retaining the classic good looks of the Berlinetta. This car presents itself as superbly understated, and as a ‘Black Ferrari’ attracts more admiring glances than most of its brethren can command. More affordable than ever before, you can look forward to a very special driving experience with this handsome car.

The founders of Wood & Pickett, Bill Wood and Les Pickett learned the Coachbuilding trade at London’s foremost Coachbuilder of the 40s & 50s, Hooper & Company, but in 1947 they decided to leave and start their own business, and it’s reputed that, in the early days, the business was run from Bill Wood’s front room. Over the next few years, Wood & Pickett’s business began to grow and they eventually acquired premises in Abbey Road, Park Royal, deep in the heart of what was, at that time, London’s coachbuilding industry. The company made what could be called “steady progress” until in the 1960s they decided to specialise in highly luxurious Mini conversions. The company became “Wood & Pickett Ltd.” and did excellent business building their own versions of these Super Luxury Minis, made fashionable by the likes of Peter Sellers, George Best, Twiggy and Princess Margaret. These early conversions were done by Hoopers or Harold Radford, but soon W&P themselves were competing for this highly lucrative market. Offered here, is a one owner from new, Wood and Pickett Mini, chassis no.XL2W2524450A, that has covered only 29,068 miles and been garaged all of its life. It has a most comprehensive history file which covers the unique story of this very rare Mini which, it’s thought, is the only conversion of the estate version carried out by Wood and Pickett. Finished in Rolls Royce Metallic Caribbean Blue with a blue leather and velour interior, it’s an incredible original example. It has the signature ‘Margrave’ Elite dashboard in padded Navy Blue hide with Black suede,

and Navy blue leather door cards and thick blue carpets complete the luxurious feel. The headlining and sun visors are in Grey cloth. The full specification includes: Lockable wheel nuts with 5”x10” tech Del Mini-lite wheels, Electric front windows, Electrically adjustable door mirrors, leather trimmed Wood & Pickett 14” steering wheel in Dark Blue, a dipping rear view mirror with direction indicator turning lights, twin automatic reversing lights mounted under the rear bumper, direction indicator lights in the front wings, twin headlights, air horns with a changeover switch, Navy Blue leather rear compartment roll-over cover, deluxe interior soundproofing and an FM Radio cassette. In addition, there is a high output alternator installed. Chrome Front Bumpers with the WP logo, bonnet lock, extra Private Locks in the front doors and a Stainless Steel finish to the top of both doors. This is a rare opportunity to own an important part of the Mini story with a complete history. This Mini was bought on the 17th August 1978 from Cleveland Garages, the Austin garage in Jersey and despatched to Wood & Pickett in the UK for immediate conversion. It then came back to the island and was first registered on the 13th December 1978 and has remained with its original owner ever since. The history file contains all the correspondence between the owner and Mr. Wood detailing the required specification even down to the upholstery colour swatch. All books and service records are present as is a set of spare keys. All taxes are paid and there is a NOVA application number.

1990 PORSCHE 911(964) CARRERA 4
With its distinctive shape and totally individual character, the 911 has appealed to driving enthusiasts since its introduction in 1963. In 1989, the first major change of shape resulted in the 911(964) model which was initially available in four-wheel drive form, marketed as the Carrera 4 (C4).The following year, the two-wheel drive Carrera 2 arrived. When the 964 was first introduced in 1989, Porsche made a point of the fact that it was 85% different from the outgoing 911. The design featured more integrated bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, most significant of which was the introduction of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc, producing 250bhp, power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard, and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Improved aerodynamics reduced the drag coefficient down to 0.32, and with virtually zero lift greatly improved stability and road holding at high speed. A new feature was the retractable spoiler which automatically extended at 50 mph and whilst increasing the down force also doubled the volume of air intake to aid engine cooling.

mileage now showing, suggesting that the car has had no usage from then until now. This car will be a superb buy for someone after it has some tlc to return it to A1 condition. Ideally it will need some paintwork and a good service, including all fluid changes and a general re-commission. The pictures show the car on incorrect wheels however, the correct ones will be coming with the car to maintain its originality.
Such was its success, that in the five years of production over 62,000 left the factory with 3,692 heading for UK shores. This particular 1990 model, G571 NHL came into the current vendors hands earlier this year after being owned by one family prior to that and having covered a remarkable 22,0000 miles from new. Nearly all of the original MoTs are with the car suggesting that the mileage is correct and it does have a service history up until 1994 covering the

Founded by Jem Marsh and legendary aerodynamicist Frank Costin in 1959, Marcos Cars would become one of the many success stories in the history of British involvement in motor racing. Many famous drivers were to cut their teeth in such cars including Jackie Stewart, Derek Bell and Jonathan Palmer. Marcos pioneered the use of a wooden structure in a monocoque chassis and this principle turned out to work very well in practice. The chassis was both light and strong, and when Marcos finally turned to the more traditional steel, it was purely from a cost perspective as the wooden chassis was extremely labour intensive to build. Unveiled at the 1963 Earls Court Racing Car Show, the seminal GT was a sensation. 43 inches high at the roof, this was one of the lowest cars ever produced and its long bonnet and Kamm tail, although reminiscent of the E-Type and even the Ferrari GTO, were remarkable for their time, especially for a small manufacturer like Marcos. The GT was wooden chassised, fitted with a Volvo engine from the P1800 and had a complex De Dion rear suspension and heavily sculpted dashboard. In 1964, the GT1800 was announced, the first car in a long series of variations that would lead up to the 3000 GT. In 1969, the Ford Essex V6-powered 3000GT was born, significant in being the last model with the traditional Marcos wooden chassis, and only around 100 of these cars were ever built. The timber structure required considerable adaptation to accommodate the new mechanics and handle a power output of around 136 bhp and an estimated top speed of 125 mph, however these objectives were achieved. As well

as the increased power output, the 3000GT was made distinctly more user-friendly with more comfortable seating, improvements to the ventilation and electric windows. This powerful, lightweight car was nimble and a natural rival to the Jaguar E-type in lots of ways, however the power of the Jaguar’s engine was still out of reach. The company was sold in 1971, temporarily halting manufacture, and in 1976 Jem Marsh bought back the operating rights of Marcos and restarted production of the GT3000 in 1981 with a 2.8 litre Ford V6. The Mantula replaced the 3000 GT in 1984, ending the production of the Marcos GT3000 at a total of just 311 cars. This example was exported to Denmark where it was registered and kept as an ongoing project for years, but sadly it remains ‘not quite finished’. The bodywork and chassis appear to be in good order and the engine starts on the button and runs well. The interior is in fine shape and the car comes with a history of service receipts and maintenance records. This rousing project car truly deserves a bit of enthusiasm to bring it back to life. I am sufficiently ancient to have been at that 1963 Racing Car Show as a schoolboy, and I remember my reaction at the time as being” Wow”. I hope there are a few enthusiasts who still feel the same way.
