Lot 101 >> 1967 MGB Roadster Mk I

This wonderful Mk 1 MGB Roadster was bought last year by the lady owner and she enjoyed using it around town over the summer. Sadly for her, she has decided to part with her dream english sports car and has prepared the car recently for sale. The gearbox has just been rebuilt by marque specialists Heathrow Transmissions at a cost of just under £1,000. In addition, the car has recently passed its MoT and that expires in December 2014.

There was much spent on recommissioning by last owner. Many new parts were bought and fitted, including: SilverstoneAuc tions

5 reconditioned wire wheels & 5 new tyres 4 new chrome wheel spinners New chrome exhaust New luxury carpet set throughout, interior and boot New black seat upholstery with red piping New upgraded halogen headlights New front side lights / indicator units New rear light / indicator units New two tone horn and wiring New MG badges (grille and horn) New leather gear nob Original radio with upgrade for iPod Underside professionally sealed Black vinyl hood in good condition

The Restoration Show Sale

The MGB replaced the outgoing MGA in May 1962.

It then remained in production until the Abingdon factory finally closed in 1980. Compared with the ‘A’ the ‘B’ was a more comfortable mode of transport all round with more legroom and generally more creature comforts like wind-up windows. Initially all the cars were roadsters and the suspension was slightly softer than the MGA, but it still handled well. Despite being an inch or two shorter than the ‘A’ the interior space was better designed giving the passengers a bit more space plus there was now room for a more sensible amount of luggage when touring. But it carried on the ‘wind in the hair’ tradition of the great British sports car and while by modern standards it is not particularly rapid, in its day its performance was regarded as ‘brisk’.

The car has been recently serviced and is reading a believed genuine 71,500 miles from new. Offered without reserve, this little sports car is offered just in time for spring and could be the bargain of the sale. w w w .silver s toneauc t ions.com

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

Capri caused a sensation at the Show. The model would stay in production for 18 years, 1969 to 1987.

A relatively simple restoration opportunity to breath life back into a daily-usable early ‘80’s Classic. It is a fantastic base from which to add value as a rolling restoration.

With past MoT’s from 2001-2 showing mileage of 7,715 (believed 107,715), it has recently been freshly MoT’d with the mileage showing just 12,971 evidencing little sign of hard graft in the past decade.

Sporting yellow paintwork, obligatory ‘S’ decals, original wheels and period check seats and mesh headrests, this timeless car further boasts a healthy 3litre engine with K&N filter. It would benefit from a little tlc in places, but offered without reserve but with a fresh MoT and a selection of past MoT’s, plus UK V5C registration document, this is a deserving and simple project for those that appreciate Fast Ford’s.

Lot 103 >> 1982 Vauxhall Chevette L Auto

Lot 103

1982 Vauxhall Chevette L Auto Registration: NOK 873X Chassis Number: M3CE102411 Engine Number: 2187321 Estimate (£): No Reserve

This Chevette ‘L’ Auto has covered a genuine 8,700 miles from new by 1 original lady owner. Amazingly it flew through it’s last M.O.T in February 2014 with no advisories. Stored since 1992 (the last tax disc confirms when last regularly used), the car is in good order throughout ~ including mechanically, with the exception of some rust spots on the roof of the car where a consistent water leak from the lady’s garage has corroded the paint in a small area.

SilverstoneAuc tions

@silverstoneauc

Recently fitted with a new battery, distributor cap and plug leads prior to the recent M.O.T, the car comes complete with original hand books and service books which confirm regular maintenance by respected local main agent 452 Motor Company of Castle Bromwich up until 1992, when it had covered just 2,884 miles.

Offered as a ‘no reserve Lot’ it could be the bargain classic of the sale?

w w w .silver s toneauc t ions.com

The Restoration Show Sale

Between 1975 and 1984 the Chevette was the entry level car for Vauxhall Motors and was fitted with their 1256cc engine from it’s predecessor - the Viva. Built in Ellesmere Port, it was to become their best seller as the ‘hatchback’ market took off in the UK.

In June 1970, the Range Rover was introduced to the public, to much critical acclaim. It appeared that Rover had succeeded in their goal of a car equally capable both on and off road - arguably, better than any fourwheel drive vehicle of its era in both environments. With a top speed of 95mph and acceleration from a standstill to 60mph in less than 15 seconds, performance was stated as being better than many family saloon cars of its era. Off-road performance was good, owing to its long suspension travel and high ground clearance.

Originally, the Range Rover was fitted with a detuned 135hp version of the Buick-derived Rover V8 engine as fitted to the model offered here today. The 3,528cc engine was increased to a displacement of 3,947cc for the 1990 model year, and 4,197cc in 1992. w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

The car offered here today is the Range Rover Classic EFI and is clearly being offered for restoration, however it is a great base from which to mildly restore. Showing a believed-genuine, but not warranted 13,974 miles on the odometer, it is deeply original and understood to be complete. First registered in the UK in May 1988, this car was later exported in November 2005 to Cyprus and it is with Cypriot papers that it is now offered. The engine turns and is certainly not seized, however, no heroic attempts have been made in some time to try and truly get it running. Having formed part of an eclectic collection belonging to a delightfully eccentric French anglophile, it has been stored in a dry barn/warehouse alongside predominantly British siblings such as Jaguars, other Jensens and Range Rovers.

It is considered that this is one of the milder restoration requirements of the Lots offered here today. A little time, a little know-how and very little expenditure should see this car back on the road once again...

Lot 105 >> 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i

This Sierra was bought by Practical Classics Magazine in 2010 having spent much of the previous decade being patched up for the next MoT. The magazine stripped it down, repaired a small selection of rusted bodywork and structure and replaced the suspension and brakes. Bodyshop 3000 in Baston, Lincolnshire, prepared and painted the body last year and they’ve spent the intervening time sourcing and fitting a host of rather hard-to-find mechanical, trim and electrical parts.

Proving again it is much easier getting bits for a 50-yearold MG than it is for an Eighties Ford.

Lot 105

1983 Ford Sierra XR4i Registration: A852 NWU Chassis Number: WF0BXXGBBBDS92246 Engine Number: 92246 Estimate (£): No Reserve

The Restoration Show Sale

Now the XR4i just needs a replacement parcel shelf and a couple of decent door cards before being a show car. It comes with a new dashboard and is sold with 6 months MoT and a months tax. Not perfect but a ‘drive-it-home’ bargain in waiting.

Lot 106>> 1969 Morris Milk Float

1969 Morris Milk Float Registration: YLK 611G Chassis Number: B3435L38570 Engine Number: Not Specified

The Restoration Show Sale

Estimate (£): No Reserve

There’s always a first time for something, Silverstone Auctions never envisaged a milk float in one of it’s auctions, however, this is no ordinary milk float. YLK 611G is none other than the original Eastenders milk float that was first used back in 1985, and was used for the opening TV shots along with the famous musical introduction and could be seen in the opening scene during the early hours under the cover of darkness rattling around Albert Square before the cameras panned off into sets like Pauline Fowler’s house or the Queen Vic Pub. Sporting the ‘Express Dairy’ livery and suggesting that Walford had a dairy, this 1969 Morris milk float implied every house owner in the square had their milk delivered by this particular vehicle every morning without fail.

w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

This famous little milk float offers a superb opportunity to purchase a piece of Eastenders history. The battery charger included with the milk float indicates with a notice taped to its front that it was the one used to keep the float charged. The float has not been charged for some time and as such is offered as a ‘Barn Find’ with a provenance of being one of the most commonly used and probably longest standing TV props within one of the most popular television series of the last three decades.

Lot 107 >> 1958 Austin Healey 100-6

The Austin-Healey 100-6 was the second of the three Austin-Healey models later known as the Big Healeys.

It was introduced in 1956 to replace the Austin-Healey 100. It featured a 2 in (50.8 mm) longer wheelbase than the original Austin-Healey 100 and a six-cylinder engine replacing the slightly larger capacity four, and added two occasional seats which later became optional. The body lines were changed to a less rounded appearance, with a wider, lower radiator grille below the air scoop which was added to the bonnet, and a windscreen which was fixed and could no longer be folded down.

Inspired by the Frankie Lane hit record ~’The Cry of the Wild Goose’, a chap called Ted Bennett from Worthing decided to convert Mini Vans between 1964 and 1968 in to small but well built motor caravans. He built around 50 in total and even convinced HM Customs and Excise to allow the Wildgoose to qualify as a motor caravan and thus exempt it from the 30mph speed limit that applied to commercial vehicles at the time. The ‘Popular’ model (with hinged roof ) slept 2 or 3 adults and a child and fittings included a 2 burner gas stove, a sink and a wardrobe.

attended and was heard to remark that it was the largest Wildgoose gathering ever, as he could only ever fit 3 in his workshop at one time!

This particular car, a two-berth Popular model, was built on 5-12-67 and delivered to Stringer Motors in Brighton. First registered on 15-5-68 it was finished in Willow Green and Snowberry White. It has never been welded and retains all of it’s original features (including the table, cooker and kitchen sink!) and is complete with it’s original engine and ‘magic wand’ gearbox. The Goose has covered 69,398 miles and last passed an M.O.T in 1990. Dry stored for the last 16 years, it is one of just 11 known survivors and has just been removed from a barn in North Yorkshire and is offered strictly ‘as seen’ on a no reserve basis.

All had 848cc engines and were cleverly constructed by discarding all of the bodywork behind the ‘B’ posts and cutting the rear subframe in half and extending it by 6 inches, thus giving the camper it’s wider rear track.

Lot 109 >> 1975 Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5A

Reliant’s first Scimitar was a coupé based upon the styling of a Daimler SP250 prototype (renamed the SX250) and the chassis of a Reliant Sabre. It was first displayed in 1964. Various models followed and the Scimitar developed again and again through the SE4 GT’s of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with Reliant making subtle improvements both mechanically and aesthetically throughout.

The SE5 came with the same 3.0 L Ford Essex engine used in the SE4a/b. This gave the SE5 a claimed top speed of over 120mph. In 1972 several improvements were included in the upgrade to SE5A, including a boost in power. The extra 7hp and maximum engine speed raised performance quite a bit and the GTE was now capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and top speed was raised to 121mph. The SE5’s flat dashboard also gave way to a curved and moulded plastic one.

1975 Reliant Scimitar GTE SE5A Registration: JHJ 75N Chassis Number: 93X5850 Engine Number: SC9468 Estimate (£): No Reserve

This model, a 1975 Scimitar GTE SE5A has been drystored since 2006 when she was last on the road. She was ‘found’ under a thick layer of dust having stood for eight years and, after a squirt of new petrol and a new battery, roared back into life ‘on the key’. The smooth 3-litre V6 Ford unit still has a sweet and throaty roar despite her 39 years. The clutch and gearbox work as they should. The brakes tell the tale of years of storage and will need attention, as does the leaking radiator.

SORN off road and without MoT, she will require restoration to return her to the former glory of being one of the ‘must have’ carriages of the ‘70’s, however the chassis and body are very good considering and the interior is a heady fusion of browns and beiges as only this decade could produce! Complete with UK V5, ‘JHJ 75N’ is offered without reserve. Here is a recent British classic only set to appreciate in value. Let’s hope this Scimitar cuts a dash for a sharp sale! w w w .silver s toneauc t ions.com

The Restoration Show Sale

The SE5 was conceived and ready for the 1968 Motor Show in under 12 months. For the SE5 John Crosthwaite and his team designed a completely different chassis frame, revised and improved suspension, new and relocated fuel tank, a rollover bar, new cooling system, spare wheel mounted in the nose to give increased rear space and a 17 gallon fuel tank. When designing the chassis Crosthwaite worked closely with Ogle body stylist Peter Bailey to modify and refine the prototype.

1951 Allard P1 3.6 litre Saloon Registration: MLO 312 Chassis Number: 91P1 Engine Number: 77E6050A

The Restoration Show Sale

Estimate (£): 10,000 - 12,000

The fact that Sydney Allard won the 1952 Monte Carlo rally outright in 1952 in a P1 saloon, similar to this car, tells you straight away how advanced this car was at the time of production.

Introduced in ‘48, the P1 employed Allard’s trademark independently suspended ‘ split’ front axle and a transverse leaf spring rear suspension. Like nearly all production Allards, the P1 used Ford/Mercury engines as they were readily available from Ford in the UK, the choice being the 3622cc Ford V8 ‘Flathead’ or the modified 4375cc Mercury, with a 3 speed manual gearbox in both cases. Produced until 1952 a total of just 559 P1’s were ever made world wide.

sold to it’s second owner, Mr. James Whittle of Market Drayton in 1987, who used it consistently up until 1994.

Then sold on, the car remained with the third owner until 2011 when it was purchased from Bonhams by our vendor at a mileage of just 45,954. This mileage is believed genuine and is confirmed by most previous M.O.T’s which are present in the history file.

Described as a very ‘sound and useable’ car which is also said to drive very well, it benefits from being highly original having never been restored. The chassis is described as being in very good condition and the bodywork as ‘fair for it’s age’- although in need of some repairs and a re-paint.

The interior is very original and well patinated, if a little scruffy. The engine is extremely smooth and there are no noises from the transmission.

A sound basis for restoration, or a car that can be used immediately ~ only you can decide ~ but either way a solid investment!

Following World War II, Rolls-Royce recognised the changing requirements of its clients, shifting away from chauffeur driven cars to “owner-driver” saloon. Their first all new model was the Bentley Mk.VI of 1946, designed to be as compact as possible, due to steel rationing.

Powered by an all-new engine and derived from a new family of Rolls-Royce power plants, the Mk.VI used the new B60, twin SU carburetor and overhead inlet/side exhaust valve engine with a displacement of 4257cc.

The Mk.VI also broke tradition by being the first car Rolls-Royce or Bentley to have a standard body design.

The four-door body was produced in pressed steel and the cars were hand-built at the new Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe, Cheshire. All cars had manual gearboxes with right-hand side mounted floor changes. Separate chassis could still be purchased for special bodied coach-built cars and these obviously commanded a higher price tag and indeed still do. w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

“321 JGU” is one of 16 special bodied Bentleys built by the renowned coach-builder James Young and first registered 3rd February 1950. Constructed in aluminium this 2-door coupé, with its extra long bonnet and smooth flowing lines, is thought to be one of four remaining.

Mechanically it is in good order; the brakes have been completely overhauled, part of the exhaust is new and the engine runs very well. It has indeed just passed a recent MoT and the chassis is solid. Cosmetically it is need of work but is an ideal rolling restoration project allowing the new owner the pleasure of using this rare piece of history while improving its appearance.

Lot 113 >> 1968 Triumph Vitesse

The Vitesse sold extremely well for Triumph. The car was well liked for its performance, reasonable fuel economy and the well-appointed interior. The Vitesse had few rivals for the price; able to perform as well as many sports cars, but with room for a family. The convertible in particular was virtually unique in the marketplace and another genuine 4-seater sporting convertible would not reappear from a British manufacturer until the Triumph Stag several years further down the line.

The Triumph Vitesse was introduced in 1962, it was an in-line 6-cylinder performance version of the Triumph Herald small saloon. The Herald had been introduced on 22nd April 1959 and was an attractive 2-door car styled by the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. By the early 1960s, however, Triumph began to give thought to a sports saloon, based on the Herald and using their 6-cylinder engine. Michelotti was again approached for styling and he came up with a car that used almost all body panels from the Herald, combined with a new front end with a slanted “Chinese Eye” 4-headlamp design.

In 1975 Jaguar introduced the XJS model and it was instantly acknowledged by the world’s press as an exceedingly competent Grand Tourer. The super reliable 5.3 litre V12 was carried over from the E-Type and when mated to the XJ floor-pan it became one of the most refined GTs that could match any of its rivals. The overall refinement was outstanding, cabin noise levels were uncannily low and the ride was truly ‘boulevard’ ~ but sporty when pressed. With Cabriolets and full Convertibles in the model-line, the production numbers eclipsed 115,000 in its twenty-one year build life. For a car that had to be the follow up act to the E-Type it set new levels of engineering, provided effortless performance and was produced for five years longer.

In 1983, a new cabriolet version debuted the XJ-SC. The XJ-SC was not a full convertible but had a nonremovable centre section with a targa-type structure and fixed cant rails above the doors. The rear quarter windows remained as well.

This lovely Jaguar XJ-SC is presented in Silver Blue with grey leather and has covered 73,000 miles with just 4 owners. The car has clearly lived a coveted but much enjoyed life. Presented in fine fettle the car has an extensive history file along with some service records and a recent M.O.T. The Targa appears in great condition and we are told has no leaks. The arrangement is perfect for English summer motoring allowing for a range of configurations. The simple design means it is quick and easy to fit for those inevitable summer showers!

A fine example in a sensible price range.

Lot 115 >> 1962 MGA Mk.II

The MGA was a sports car produced by the MG division of the British Motor Corporation from 1955 until 1962. The MGA replaced the older ‘T’ type cars and represented a complete break from the style of the older vehicles into a new era of sports cars. The car was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show of 1955 to an enthusiastic audience and sales success was quick to follow.

1962 MGA Mk.II Registration: N/A Chassis Number: GHNLZ109069 Engine Number: Not Specified Estimate (£): No Reserve

Regrettably there is little history to accompany this car, however we can confirm that it is supplied with a US Certificate of Title from the State of California and has also the important C&E 386 documentation evidencing that taxes have been paid.

This would be a rewarding and relatively straightforward project for the enthusiastic restorer.

The body has been removed and the panels and tub have been sand blasted and are now in primer. Perhaps in thanks to the dry climate from whence it came this car showed very little evidence of rust. Most of the component parts which are offered as part of this Lot are boxed waiting for refurbishment and restoration to the car.

This exceptional example of BMW’s E30 M3 was first delivered new to Germany in 1986. It was subsequently purchased by a Japanese collector and was exported in 1988. The history file retains all of the original Japanese paperwork, wallet, manuals and service booklet. The odometer reads 141,000 kilometres (87,000 miles), which is supported by service records from a BMW main dealer in Japan.

engine was fully rebuilt with big end bearings, main bearings, new piston rings, cleaned valves, cleaned ports and powder coated block. There were many other jobs completed, such as a rebuilt differential with new shims and seals, rebuilt suspension, new oil pump, water pump, new brake discs and pads, new fuel lines and new clutch slave cylinder. All parts were purchased from either C3 BMW or BMW Parklane.

Finished in its original colour of Henna Red with cloth interior, the car has not been driven any great distance since it was completed this year and remains in simply superb condition. A full year’s MoT will be supplied to the new owner. The E30 M3 has long been tipped as a sound long term investment opportunity as fewer and fewer decent examples come onto the market and more people realise how fantastic these 80s icons are to drive.

This fully restored example deserves a closer look by any collector or BMW enthusiast.

The current owner decided to purchase this M3 as a rolling restoration project in 2009 and imported the car back to Europe. However, as soon as he did so, it was decided that car deserved to be restored from the ground up. The body was bare metal resprayed, including engine bay and underside. The car had new inner and outer window seals and the alloy wheels were fully refurbished. The paint job alone would have cost nearly £10,000 but the vendor did not stop there.

The Daimler DB18 was launched in 1939 with a 2.5 litre overhead-valve six-cylinder engine and was essentially a development of the earlier Daimler New Fifteen.

Built on a cruciform-braced chassis with an underslung worm-drive axle and independent front suspension, it was known for beautifully light worm and roller steering and Girling mechanical brakes. Transmission was by Daimler’s traditional pre-selector gearbox allied to a fluid flywheel. The standard saloon had coachwork by Mulliners of Birmingham.

First registered in 1952 there is limited early history available in the file for this particular car. However, the log book indicates just 4 owners during it’s life, the current owner for the last 10 years.

The original colour of the car is Grey, and it is recommended that the new owner literally choose the colour of the interior during restoration. More than 15 years ago there was an attempt made to begin a restoration so the body has been prepared and primed for paint.

The only major item that cannot be immediately identified by this cataloguer is the wraparound windshield. Of course, interested parties should make every effort to come and see the car and the parts offered with this Lot to satisfy themselves as to how complete this project is.

Here is an unusual opportunity to undertake a worthwhile project which upon completion will see the new owner welcomed into a small fraternity of Facel Vega HK500 owners. We can think of fewer more satisfying projects to undertake and look forward to continued correspondence with the successful buyer with updates of the restoration.

The Facel ‘Vega’ was launched at the 1954 Paris Salon and fitted with a Chrysler 4.5 litre Hemi V8 engine, paired with either Chrysler’s two-speed Powerflite automatic transmission or, at extra cost, a four-speed manual made by Pont-à-Mousson. At this stage, the 180hp FV was capable of 107 to 120mph depending on which rear axle ratio was installed. The chassis, designed

by Lance Macklin, was tubular framed, featuring coil springs and double wishbones at the front, with a leafsprung live rear axle. Styling, by Jean Daninos himself, was at the time considered somewhat American and perhaps a bit heavy, with rudimentary tail fins, however, this timeless design cuts a look on the Kings Road today.

This car is a complete one-off. An MG TA in stunningly original condition, DEL 973 was built on 26th October 1936 and registered in Bournemouth on 12th July 1937.

The body tub, chassis and engine are totally original, as shown by matching numbers on the engine, chassis, body frame and bulkhead ID plates. The wings, body, doors, instruments, seats, Luvax front shock absorbers and Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel are all original. The current owner discovered this example as a true barn find, having been off the road since the 1980s. He went about having the car mechanically recommissioned, which included a complete rebuild of the original and undamaged MPJG engine with its MG logo, rebuild of the 3 brush dynamo, carburettor rebuild (original brass-bodied), recorked clutch, new kingpins, restored original Luvax shocks, new indicators and completely restored braking system. w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

Both headlights retain the original “U� pattern lenses.

The nearside headlight retains its original solenoid dipping mechanism and the offside headlight has been converted to the same mechanism. The car is reported to now start, stop and drive nicely. The original and never repainted wings, doors and bonnet are remarkably sound and the ash fame, including the door pillars, appears solid except for the lower door frames.

The new owner will need to attend to the wheels, tyres and sills.

The owner purchased DEL 973 as a pattern of originality in order to guide him in the current restoration of another TA. He has rightfully left the body in the condition you see it in today as a true testament to the people that built this car in 1937. We can think of no finer basis for a restoration. The level of detail on DEL will amaze even the most hardened MG enthusiast. The seats are even stuffed with period horse hair, which is starting to make a bid for freedom after 77 years.

Lot 121 >> 1968 MGC Roadster

The MGC was a 2912cc, straight-6 version of the MGB sold from 1967 and produced through to August 1969.

In the twin SU carburettor form used in the MGC, the engine produced 145bhp at 5250rpm.

A compact disc documenting the preparation of the shell and the panels before paint was applied is accompanied with the documentation for this car and is worth looking at in some detail. This restoration is not just skin-deep. The attention to detail is flawless and has resulted in a lovely iconic 60’s sports car that is now better than when it left the factory and drives as you would expect - like a new car!

before restoration began, and since the speedometer was reset on the completion of these works only 1,000 further miles have been covered. The 2912cc engine as fitted to this car is a relatively lazy, under-stressed unit pushing out 145bhp. As a result, the MGC lends itself to simple but effective tuning. Just adding one extra carburettor with a suitable inlet manifold, or even changing the existing 1¾” units for larger 2” units and fitting a free-flow exhaust manifold unleashes another 30bhp. Add a fast road cam and gas-flowed cylinder head and it is possible to extract over 200bhp if one were so inclined. These minor upgrades would result in not only the best restored MGC in the country, but also the most potent too!

Offered here today is another best-of-breed example straight from the top drawer. This truly is a special MGC thanks largely to the meticulous yet sympathetic restoration only recently completed by the MG Owners Club in Cambridgeshire. Bills for more than £20,000 accompany this car including more than £6,500 for the professional preparation of the body and application of the paint, to a further £17,000+ for mechanical preparation, and the renovation or replacement of every component part in the thorough rebuild of this car, including all-new wet weather gear and a completely retrimmed and re-carpeted interior.

1958 Jaguar XK150 Fixedhead Coupé for Restoration Registration: AE 34 Chassis Number: S824620DN Engine Number: V5393-8

The Restoration Show Sale

Estimate (£): 35,000 - 45,000

We are proud to offer to the public market a very special Jaguar which has been hidden from the world since 1969. After being laid up for a period of forty years in a barn, on blocks from 1969 to 2009, this XK150 was ‘discovered’ by a serious motor-enthusiast and multiple motoring-club member in 2009, who, forgetting that he already had several projects on the go, decided that an XK150 restoration was the next itch to scratch.

Understandably, this was a bridge too far for his already overloaded private workshop, so after some gentle persuasion, here is the once-loved XK150 Fixedhead Coupé, ‘AE 34’.

This car is steeped in period history. Its first owner was the West Bromwich garage owner Alan Eccles - a renowned racing driver of the period and latterly a team owner from c1957-1970. He was best known for racing w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

Formula 3 500cc in the 1950’s, then Cooper, Lotus and Chevrolet.

Ordered new by Alan in 1958, this XK150 remained at supplying dealers, Ashmores, until he took delivery and registered the car in 1959. It was specially ordered with the unusual optional gearbox: the ultra rare close-ratio version, thought to be less than 200 XK’s were so fitted.

This was perhaps because he was a racing driver after all – also the car still retains the very unusual addedextra of a rear tow bar. Correspondence with the family of the late Alan Eccles confirms that the tow bar and GB badging were fitted specifically so Alan could pull his 500, then his Formula Junior race car behind him to UK and European race meets. Given the recent interest in historic race car transport – restored, this car would make a very interesting slant on that theme.

The cars’ story moves on, through a few owners [all detailed in the accompanying green buff logbook] to the immediately previous owner to the current enthusiast. In late 1969, having run the car for two years and, incidentally, keeping a detailed maintenance log [all on file] - this then young engineer took a job abroad.

Unable to bring himself to part with his beloved Jaguar, which was then running well, he decided to store it away, up on blocks and covered with rugs, in the barn

SilverstoneAuc tions

@silverstoneauc

And thus, one must remember that this car was registered for the road, 55 years ago, in 1959 and went into aforesaid barn in 1969. Therefore, although now needing a total restoration one could say that it represents, mechanically at least, in effect a TEN YEAR OLD XK150 - which must, at the very least, be intriguing?

Now offered publicly at auction for the first time in its history, AE 34 is sure to make for one of the most

SilverstoneAuc tions

@silverstoneauc

It should also be noted that the engine numbers on both the head and the engine block match those on the body ID plate, the Heritage certificate and the V5C. In our opinion this is one of the finest bases from which to restore a very fine 1950’s motor car. With skill, patience and a sympathetic eye this could be one of the most beautiful examples of the marque when complete.

We look forward to seeing the finished article on the concours lawn of a major UK event soon!

Very importantly, this car was originally registered with the registration ‘AE 34’ which since 1959 has always carried a small chrome dot between the 3 and the 4 to denote the engine capacity, 3.4. This plate is on the V5C which accompanies the car and also on the official heritage certificate of the vehicle. Even the Jaguar key ring has an ‘AE 34’ plate attached. Whilst the registration number is transferable, we feel strongly that it has a very special association to this car and, therefore, the two components together retain a higher value than they would individually.

rewarding and deserving restoration propositions.

Please be under no illusion that this barn find car requires nothing short of a complete restoration, but take comfort in the fact that virtually all component parts are in situ. For instance, bodywise, it is clear that the boot floor and sills are unlikely to be salvageable - however, all the panels including the bonnet, doors, wings, roof and boot lid can be restored. The complete original red interior is in the car and still carries the factory chalk markings on some of the seat undersides to denote which car on the production line they were destined to adorn. Also onboard is the original Motorola ‘wireless’, with the correct registration AE 34 on the original faded label. The close-ratio gearbox is still present and the engine, whilst not running, does turn.

The wheels and brakes are not seized and the car rolls freely meaning it can be transported from the sale on a suitable trailer. There is a rumour that the car may have also been fitted with the factory ‘Powr-lok’ limited-slip differential but this cataloguer is unable to confirm at this time.

And somehow, when home on leave, there always seemed to be much more important “family” things to attend to rather than commission his XK150. He did visit the sleeping car when he could, turn the engine over now and then with some oil down the bores, plus he did carefully store all the seats away in the attic. He promised himself that, one day, he would use the car again but eventually, after 40 years, he realised that was now rather unlikely.

Estimate (£): No Reserve

In 1962 Iso Rivolta made their first Grand Touring (GT) car the Iso Rivolta GT and subsequently the Iso Grifo A3/L (based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis) was introduced at the 1963 show in Turin. The Iso Fidia (initially called the Iso Rivolta S4 when introduced in 1967) was marketed by Iso as “The World’s Four Fastest Seats” As a prototype, the Iso Rivolta Lele debuted at the 1969 New York International Auto Show. It was a 2+2 configuration that filled the gap between the two seater Grifo and the four door Fidia. The ‘standard’ Lele also used the Corvette 327 cid V8 with either a manual or automatic transmission. Giugiaro of Bertone styled the Lele, naturally. Based on what came later, therefore, the Iso Lele can rightly be termed today as an act of vision. It resulted from a promise that Piero Rivolta, son of Iso founder Renzo Rivolta, made to his wife, for whom the Lele was named, that Iso would be a full-line car company. w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

Even among Italo-exotica, the Lele is an incredible rarity. A total of 285 Iso’s were built from 1970 through 1974, when Iso left the car business with a maximum of 20 Lele Sport models (Lele IR6 Sport) produced. The Sport had the Ford 351 Cleveland V-8 engine uprated to produce 360 bhp and a ZF five-speed manual gearbox.

The Sport was also fitted with additional gauges set into the passenger-side dashboard, Sports trim and lightweight bumpers - all of which are retained in this 1975 Lele Sport registered as PUS 343P. Ripe for a full restoration this incredibly rare model offers a great opportunity for the discerning collector of iconic Italian sports cars. Indeed, renowned Italian Iso restoration and spares specialists ‘Il Bottegone’ confirm that the owner of chassis number 500.293.D is “One of the lucky owners of the Sport version!!” Classic Driver comment on the model was “It’s no Ferrari Daytona, but take into account its rarity and pretty yet quirky appearance, and you have to admit it’s worth a look.”

In 2010 just 18 Leles worldwide were in the registry maintained by the Iso & Bizzarrini Owners Club. The Lele’s blend of creases and angles from Bertone predicts a variety of cars that imitated it after Iso was gone. The Maserati Khamsin, Ferrari 400i and later, the Porsche 928 also utilized the Lele theme of a high-end 2+2.

Forty three years ago, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the C107 SLC at the Paris Motor Show. The launch signalled a shift in thinking at Stuttgart about what made a successful luxury coupé. The C107’s extra 360mm in the wheelbase over the R107 allowed for a rear seat bench whereas the SL offered little more than a shelf. Born from the R107 SL chassis which was in turn built with parts carried over from the W114 platform, the long version of the SL emerged as a highly popular and extremely long running car. Sporting a longer wheelbase and sufficient interior room for four, the SLC was a sleek two door coupé that combined the seating advantages of a four door sedan with the sportiness of a coupé. Powered

by Mercedes own six cylinder engine the 280 SLC developed 182 BHP and had a top speed of 125 mph.

The MkI midget was initially fitted with a 948cc A-series engine, which was replaced in 1962 with the newer 1098 engine. It featured quarter elliptic rear spring suspension and drum brakes all round, which were then also upgraded in 1962 much like the engine. The doors had no external handles or locks and the windows were sliding Perspex side-screens. A heater was an optional extra. A car with the 948 cc engine was tested by the British magazine ‘The Motor’ in 1962 and had a top speed of 87.9 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 18.3 seconds. Production was 16,080 of the small-engined version and 9601 of the 1098.

This early style MG Midget is an incredible survivor.

There are very few cars that can boast a history anything like that of the Porsche 911. This was the gem of a sports car that simply blew everything away back in 1964. Since then the 911 has evolved over the years to become one of the world’s true motoring legends.

Without doubt part of the appeal of this iconic model is that its soul has always remained true to the original design. Porsche started to manufacture the ‘Targa’ top 911 from the mid-sixties and kept it in production in various forms right up to the current Porsche 997 Targa.

Up until 1993 its original design and popularity had always revolved around the fact that you simply turn two clips, lift the top off, fold it up into about 2/3rds of the original size and store it in the boot and you have a ‘sunny day’ 911.

This beautiful 3.2 litre Targa was delivered new on 14th August 1985 to a Mr David Waldren and has had a further two owners since. Having covered a documented 69,000 miles from new, the car is in highly original condition. The shut lines are superb all around the car, along with the paint, which retains a lovely shine. The inner wings retain their waxy dull factory finish and have clearly never been off the car. In addition, the interior is factory original and still in very good order.

Finished in one of the very best colour combinations of Guards Red with black interior, this 3.2 Targa has just been recommissioned by one of the country’s leading Porsche experts, PIE Performance Porsche. Included in the history file is a bill dated 15/3/14 for £2,726.56p, which details a completely new stainless steel exhaust system and service. The original service wallet also documents 18 service stamps and everything from letters from Porsche to radio guidance booklets. The mileage is verified both in the service booklet and with old MoT certificates dating back to the early 1990s.

Evidently, this car really has it all, the pedigree, the history and of course the performance. It is a superb example and a true testament to Porsches reputation for building quality performance cars.

Lot 128 >> 1966 Porsche 912

The Porsche 911 was introduced in 1963 and became an instant icon and one of the worlds most enduring sportscar designs. The original 2.0 litre 6 cylinder format made it expensive, so Porsche used the outgoing 1600cc unit from the 356 model to address the issue and offered the 912 as a cheaper alternative. The result was a car with all the looks of the 911 and inspired handling, but with better balance and a more competitive price.

First launched in 1965, the 912 instantly outsold the 6 cylinder 911, especially in the USA.

The beneficiary of a full bare metal restoration by noted marque experts, Francis Tuthill Ltd., in 1999 (when it changed hands from father to son) it has since been well maintained both cosmetically and mechanically.

The XK150 was the final incarnation of the popular XK sports car from Jaguar. Announced in 1957 and available from early 1958 in Drop Head Coupé body form, it was a more refined and capable machine than its predecessors the 120 and 140. The 150 was easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille, one piece windscreen and improved interior space, however, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the XK140 sharing the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six XK engine, which developed 180bhp at 5750rpm but now with the addition of disc brakes all round.

Over 30,000 XKs were produced, a large proportion being left hand drive and exported to the United States, 9396 XK150s were produced, of those only 662 were right hand drive drop head coupés, the number of those remaining in the UK for home market sales is unknown as many were exported to Australia, New Zealand and w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

other right hand drive markets. The car offered here today is a very early production (June) 1958 Jaguar XK150 Drop head Coupé, UK home market right hand drive model in original factory specification of Indigo blue with light blue upholstery and retaining its original UK registration, VLP 929. The car was sold through Henleys of London and first registered in London in June 1958, as corroborated by the heritage certificate which accompanies the car. The chassis number of this car is S827074 denoting it to be a special equipment model and the 74th example of the 622 right hand drive cars built. This is also confirmed by the chequered aluminium dash panel present with this car which is only found on the very early models.

At some point in the 1980s the car was bought by an Italian collector and exported to Sicily where it resided in that warm, dry climate for the past 30 years, the last 20 or so seemingly in storage, discovered a short while ago alongside a host of other British sports cars of the period, this car was repatriated back to the UK where our enthusiastic vendor had the intention of restoring to its former glory. Though a relatively straight-forward proposition, other priorities have taken precedence and for this reason the vendor has been reluctantly convinced to pass this over to someone who can take up the mantle.

We describe this project as ‘relatively straight-forward’ for the simple reason that all the component parts seem to be complete with the car, save for one rear-seat squab and the leaping cat emblem from the bonnet.

It has most of its original tools and other hard to find components. Please don’t confuse this claim by assuming a lick of paint is going to bring the car to concours standard however. The panel work, whilst very straight, complete and in generally good order needs attention as does the chassis and running gear. The interior needs complete refurbishment, and the engine and mechanicals, though complete and able to turn over, need a complete overhaul.

For years in the 1920s and 1930s the tiny Austin Seven was a best-selling little car. It set every standard of small packaging, it seemed cheeky, simple, and promised low cost motoring. In many ways, it was similar to the Mini which followed decades later. Initially on sale £165, (in the UK only the mass produced Ford Model T was cheaper,) so it provided unbeatable value for money.

At its peak, which lasted for more than a decade, well over 20,000 cars were being sold every year. In later life the engine found further use in Reliant three wheelers, and a passion for racing, encouraged by the 750 MC, saw power outputs pushed up to extraordinary levels.

This delightfully original Austin Seven Ruby was first registered in 1938 and is described by the owner as running and driving excellently. The car was restored in the 1990s and resided in a large private collection in Belgium, until returning to the UK earlier this year.

Offered here without reserve, don’t miss your chance to own a piece of British motoring history.

Austin sold tens of thousands of these little cars every year. At first the tiny 747cc engine produced a mere 10.5bhp but this increased gradually over the years, culminating at 17bhp in the mid-1930s, by this time an Austin Seven could reach more than 50mph.

Jaguar cars launched the XK140 at the London Motor Show in October 1954 with a raft of improvements over its predecessor- the XK 120. The styling was improved with a revised grill, larger bumpers along with new rear lights which now incorporated the indicators. The handling was enhanced by rack and pinion steering and telescopic dampers. The interior space was improved allowing the addition of occasional rear seats. It was now a real tourer with plenty of power from the 3.4 twin overhead camshaft six cylinder engine, which had powered Jaguar to victory at Le Mans in ‘51 and ‘53.

This incredible XK140 Fixedhead Coupé was first dispatched on 18th March 1955 and delivered to Henleys of London with the registration number: 9 DMY. From 1955 to 1968 the car is known to have been on the road until it was purchased in 1968 by the last owner.

He used it only a couple of times until it was sold to the w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

current owner in 1973 for a hefty £175. There is a letter from the previous owner detailing his ownership of 9 DMY. Having been purchased in ‘73, the 140 was driven home from the south and has not been driven since.

The vendor has done some work over the years. The wings have been repaired and went to a classic car rebuilder in north wales, who completed bodywork and resprayed the car in the 1970s. The car came back and a new wiring harness was installed. However, the project slowed down as family life and other commitments intervened. It was picked up again in the 1980s when new valve guides were completed, but was not finished and has stood ever since.

The car has had a total of four previous owners and is reading 16,000 miles on the odemeter. However, this cannot be verified. The car is complete from the original engine and gearbox to the interior and is a restorers dream. The car has been stored in a garage and has not been outside since 1973. An original right-hand drive XK 140 is rare enough, but one in such original condition is simply incredible.

Produced between 1982 and 1990 the Lamborghini Jalpa was the’ junior’ Lamborghini of the 1980s. It was designed to rejoin the battle with Ferrari’s similarly sized 308 series. Major changes involved a quad-cam V8 engine with capacity increased to 3.5 litres and somewhat more aggressive styling, mainly in the side treatment of the body, which was again conceived and executed by Bertone. Maximum power was 255bhp at 7000rpm, good enough to give the aerodynamic Jalpa a top speed of around 155mph. The Jalpa was still a Targa-style two seater with a carburettor fed engine mounted transversely, with a five speed rear transaxle and fully independent suspension, as per the earlier Urraco and Silhouette. Production was both limited and sporadic, with a mere 419 examples manufactured over eight years.

Launched in September 1968 and advertised on television featuring Sir William Lyons himself describing the car as “The finest Jaguar ever” in reference to 1969’s Daimler variant, the Jaguar XJ had a role to clarify the four previous Jaguar saloons into one recognisable and desirable series. Only 19,322 of this smooth and powerful straight six 2.8 were ever built - with significantly fewer still surviving today.

A definite restoration “must” for those who can wistfully recall their parents, friend, and relatives marvelling and struggling in equal measure at Jaguar’s twin and independently lockable fuel tanks positioned high on the rear quarter, either side of the huge boot you knew could hide 2 or 3 bodies if the car ever fell into the ‘bad guys’ hands!

These cars lived up to their mantra of “Grace, Space and Pace”, with perhaps a welcome “trace of disgrace” to propel them into the pantheon of increasingly rare and charismatic British engineered icons.

Chassis 1G 125 52 DN is offered with a V5 document.

Our car, registered in June 1972 and fitted with the desirable overdrive, has been in the same ownership of a delightfully eccentric Anglophilic Frenchman since 1988 - an incredible 26 years of sole ownership in the vehicle’s total of 42. Stored in a dry barn/warehouse alongside predominantly British siblings such as Jensens and Range Rovers, she represents a wonderful restoration opportunity in particular because of a sound chassis.

Jaguar introduced the E-Type in March 1961 to worldwide acclaim. By May of that year, it had won its first race held at Oulton Park driven by Graham Hill.

Success on road and track was to continue right up to 1974, with over 70,000 E-Types eventually produced in Coventry. On first sight, Enzo Ferrari described it as “the most beautiful car ever made” and most people would agree he was not wrong!

This highly original Series 3 V12 Roadster was manufactured on 23rd October 1972 in its original colour combination of Azure Blue with Black interior.

It was delivered new to Henlys of London in manual specification to a Miss Margaret Vera Hind of Ruddington. Since then the car has had seven further keepers, the current owner acquiring PAT 763G in 2000 from marque specialists, The E-Type Centre. Since then he has covered 16,000 miles “of most enjoyable w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

Accompanying the car is a significant history file detailing previous owners, bills, invoices, old MoT certificates and letters between owners. Although not supplied with a hood, the car boasts a rare hard-top, which is also finished in Azure Blue. Since purchasing the vehicle, the current owner has carried out a number of major improvements. From 2008-2011 some of the following works were carried out: a new propshaft fitted, differential rebuilt, gearbox rebuilt, new clutch assembly, brake servos and master cylinders replaced and ignition system replaced along with the starter motor. There is a full breakdown of costs since 2000, which total £33,332.

The originality of this car is best demonstrated by the interior trim and seats, which show a lovely patina and are a rare sight in today’s market. This example is an ideal classic car to be used and enjoyed or an incredible basis for a show-winning restoration. Either way, it offers superb value at today’s guide price.

There may be a newer-looking Range Rovers around these days but that isn’t to say that the original first generation version, with its familiar boxy shape, doesn’t still have its supporters. In fact, it’s positively flying on the used market. The original Spen Kingdesigned 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 forward thinking 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 continued even then. This was a car that had real international appeal.

Some of the highlights of recent work include: Regularly serviced every year (including spark plugs).

New sills.

Original gearbox reconditioned, with overdrive.

New clutch. New tyres.

New exhaust.

New starter motor.

New front differential.

New aluminium top tailgate.

Two batteries with an inverter – can power things with a normal plug.

This is one of the best value Range Rovers on the market. These 3-door cars are certainly on the up in terms of values and we feel this car makes a very sensible investment.

This lovely Renault Sport Spider has had 1 owner from new and covered only 36,000 miles. A full Renault service history accompanies the car and a fresh service has just been completed. Finished in yellow with grey exterior, this rare right-hand drive example has never seen a race track and has been stored in a garage from new. Consequently, the bodywork and interior show little sign of use. The only non-standard item fitted is a custom made sports exhaust, however, the original is also included in the sale.

In 1997 the vendor custom made a unique hood system for the Spider, the only of its kind. This useful and impressive design addition will be supplied to the new owner. Supplied with 12 months MoT, this legendary sports car is simply a hoot to drive.

The Renault Sport Spider is powered by the 150bhp, 16v four cylinder, engine, which was first seen in the Renault Clio Williams and also used in the original Megane Coupé 16v. Given the relatively light weight of this car, that’s enough to make it very fast indeed. Rest to 60mph takes just 6.9 seconds on the way to a maximum speed of 134mph. Take a seat behind the wheel and you instantly know that this car means business; quite simply it’s more race car than road car. With a single aluminium bar dominating the dashboard, there are only three dials set into a central pod on the dash. They don’t include a speedometer, instead a rev counter, with oil and water pressure gauges. To complete the sports car feel, there are body-hugging Recaro bucket seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and adjustable pedals so the driver can achieve the absolute optimum driving position. The windows meanwhile, pivot up to open, arguably practical, certainly distinctive. The Renault Spider championships ran for several years as a support series to larger championships such as the British Touring Car Championship and groomed many fine racing drivers, such as Jason Plato.

The Triumph TR4 was introduced in 1961 to follow its very successful predecessors, the TR2 and TR3. Code named ‘Zest’ during development the body was given a more modern and updated appearance by Michelotti but its drive train and chassis remained the same using the well proven 4 cylinder pushrod unit, however its capacity was increased from 1991cc to 2138cc. Handling was improved by a three inch wider track and steering was also updated to the more modern and precise rack and pinion system. Internally the car gained wind up windows and the new angular rear end allowed for a boot with a very reasonable luggage capacity for a sports car. Another innovation was the option of an alloy hard top with a removable roof panel that was five years ahead of Porsche’s famous 911 Targa. 40,235 cars were built between 1961 and 1965 and over the years this car has become one of Triumphs most popular sports cars.

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 Cortina was born. The model was to dominate saloon car racing for the Ford factory as it evolved throughout the 1960s. It was driven by many stars of the day, including the legendary Jim Clark.

Introduced at the October 1967 Motor Show, the DBS was the successor to the famed Aston Martin DB6, although the two were produced concurrently for three years. Styled in-house by William Towns, the aluminumbodied four-seater had a sharper, more Italian look than the curvaceous DB6 but still exuded road presence and looks mighty impressive even today.

Longer, wider and more luxurious than the DB6, the DBS employed a platform-type chassis wishbone and coilspring at the front and De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Autocar judged it superior to the preceding DB6 in many areas, offering four full-sized seats in addition to transformed handling and road holding courtesy of the new suspension and standardised power steering.

Originally designed to accept an all-new V8 engine, this was not ready in time for the car’s launch, so it was fitted with the legendary four-litre DB6 engine instead.

As with the latter, the twin-cam engine was available in standard or Vantage tune - the former producing 282bhp at 5,500rpm via triple SU carburetors, the latter 325bhp at 5,750rpm with triple Webers and hotter cams.

This Aston Martin DBS Vantage is a rare manual car and one of just 70 RHD Vantage specification cars built. This particular car is offered from a private collection and is a true barn find having being laid up in a storage barn for some considerable time.

Having had just 2 former keepers, it was first registered on the 5th August 1969 and originally was the demonstrator for HR Owen in London before being purchased by the first owner, a Mr J. Boneham on the 11th December 1969. He kept the car for a further 28 years and a letter in the extensive history file from Mr Boneham’s brother states that that the car was regularly maintained from new up until the late 1970s at Aston Martin, Newport Pagnell where it would receive a service twice annually. Subsequently in the early 1980’s Robin Hamilton Ltd serviced it.

McLaughlin-Buick’s long association with the British Royal Family along with its reputation for fine craftsmanship and reliability made it the car of choice for the upper classes both in Canada, Britain & its colonies. In 1939, on the eve of World War II, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited Canada. Four cars were outfitted for their tour, two of which were McLaughlin-Buick Royal Tour Cars built especially for the occasion.

“FYL 831” is an original right hand drive 1939 Straight 8 Series 40 Special with twin side mounted spare wheels.

The engine has been totally overhauled and has covered zero miles. Rolls Royce upholsterers have refurbished the original and very rare leather interior and a new head lining and carpets fitted.

Over the period a new bespoke right hand drive wiring loom and new old stock electrics have been fitted, along with copper brake pipes, new old stock wheel cylinders and linings. The radiator has had a new core and a new old stock water pump has been installed.

Having been stripped down to the chassis and rebuilt it has been subjected to a full bare metal (lead-filled only) respray. However, since being stored in a barn, some surface rust has started to appear and attention to the paintwork is required once more.

All the necessary parts (plus numerous duplicates) accompany the car to complete the project and the majority of the work has been completed over the years.

Our vendor informs us that that “FYL 831” was an army vehicle during the war possibly carrying Canadian and US Generals around London. A perfect car for the D-day celebrations?

The Lancia Augusta represented a step forward for the Italian automaker. Previously it had built sports cars and mid-size sedans, but with the Augusta, it was moving into a whole new sector of the market, that of the smaller sedans. It was available as a four-door sedan or 2-door cabriolet, both riding on a 104.3 inch platform.

The car also had a narrow-angle Vee engine. It was a four-cylinder of 1,194cc and produced 35 bhp at 4,000 rpm. The cars power was sent to the wheels via a fourspeed manual gearbox. A freewheel was introduced into the transmission-such devices were rather popular at that time. Hydraulic brakes were adopted after a good deal of testing, doubting and redesigning.

With the vast majority of the work already completed and a spreadsheet of costs totalling over ÂŁ35,000 this stunning motorcar it is now ready for someone else to pick up the mantle. Restoration commenced in July 1999 with the help of a retired bodywork specialist. Work started by stripping the car down even further to its bare essentials and work commenced on the chassis. Next all the main panels were trial fitted before restoring them and the body tub. New Ash sills were fabricated along with an entire new boot. Not a job for the faint hearted! It took several attempts and a huge amount of hard work. The wings and running boards were test fitted repaired and then set in place work was continued through the rest of the car until it eventually reached the stage where it was driveable. We are told all that it requires is the interior either remade or refurbished and the final pieces of exterior trim fitted in place.

The Austin Healey 3000 was introduced in March 1959 and was the replacement for the 100/6 model. The new car featured an enlarged 2912cc version of Austin`s six cylinder engine with twin SU carburettors and Girling front disc brakes offering excellent performance resulting in the model becoming a great success. The 3000 was only referred to as the Mk. I once the Mk. II model was introduced in 1961.

This superb Austin Healey 3000 Mk I BT7 is a matching numbers car that was manufactured in May 1959. The car was exported to New Zealand where it spent much of its life until 2004. In the early 1990s the car was subject to a nut and bolt restoration that was completed in 1995. The chassis and body were completely stripped and rebuilt. Where it was necessary new parts were used however as much of the original car was kept and refurbished to preserve the originality. w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

The gearbox/overdrive and differential were also completely overhauled. The engine was reconditioned with mostly new parts. The cylinders were re-sleeved, new pistons and rings fitted, a reconditioned crankshaft and rebore was carried out. New hood, tonneau cover and side screens were also fitted at this time. A correspondence between the then owner and restorer shows that both parties were fastidious perfectionists.

The car was then acquired by a collector to join his collection of 1950`s and 1960`s predominantly British sports cars. In 2002, his collection of 44 cars including this Healey formed a display at a motor museum in Auckland.

The Healey was repatriated into the UK in 2004 and has been enjoyed ever since. The car looks splendid finished in Colorado red over old English white, complemented by a red leather interior and a wood rimmed MotaLita steering wheel. The mohair hood and side screens are in excellent order. The chrome work is in very good order, in line with the rest of the paintwork, including the underside of the car. An inspection of the substantial history file reveals recent works carried out by UK specialists since its repatriation. This also includes photographs of the restoration, correspondence between owner and restorers, invoices, old tax discs, old MoT certificates. This is a very elegant Healey that appears to require nothing other than an open road.

Founded in 1906 in Middlesex by an American opera singer with Scottish ancestry, Wilbur Gunn, ‘Lagonda’ first produced motorcycles prior to car production ~ which commenced in 1907 with the 20hp, 6 cylinder ‘Torpedo’ model. The company was named after Lagonda Creek, near Springfield Ohio, Wilbur’s home town in the USA. Production was slowed by the first World War but soon regained momentum with sales success and some innovative ground breaking features, including development of the first ever fly-off handbrake and a complex 8 speed Maybach transmission. In 1935 the company sadly went bust and was subsequently bought

by Alan P.Good, who just outbid Rolls Royce Motors. He persuaded W.O Bentley to leave Rolls Royce and join Lagonda as chief designer which instantly regained the company’s sales momentum and further sales success w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

came quickly, not least because of his masterpiece V12 engine launched in 1937 which revolutionised luxury cars at the time.

This beautiful Lagonda V12 2 door ‘Hooper’ saloon is a unique car specially built for the wife of the owner of Hooper Bodies Ltd. (the most noted British body builder of the era) and first registered in August 1939. It features a 5509cc ‘Rapide’ 4 Carburettor engine and coachwork similar to the standard pillarless saloon found on postwar Rolls Royce, Bentley and Daimler chassis which embodied the traditional Hooper ‘Razor Edge’ design.

Stored throughout the War the car was eventually sold to Mr. Harry Ellard in March 1952 at a mileage reading of 19,266.

Henry Ellard, known as Harry, was a highly successful engineer who built up the ‘Henry Meadows’ Wolverhampton enginering and engine producing business. He designed for the metal pressing business in the Black Country and was so successful that many of his designs are still being produced today. Becoming extremely wealthy during his life, the Midlands entrepreneur was able to start his hobby of collecting outstanding cars that had been well engineered and reflected great workmanship. The Lagonda certainly met this criteria as he was to own 6 cars, but this rare and special car was his clear favourite. He owned this SilverstoneAuc tions

This car was to feature on the cover of the catalogue which offered his amazing and treasured collection. By this stage the car had now covered a documented 39,809 miles from new.

The condition of the car at that sale was described in the catalogue as ‘generally very good’ and the new owner, Don Williams, was to enjoy the car up until 2001 when it changed hands to our current owner and vendor. It has been in storage ever since and now requires a complete restoration.

So, in summary, we are offering an extremely rare and very highly regarded matching numbers and highly original Lagonda, which includes it’s original and collectable registration number ‘FLD 1’ (which we are told is transferrable) and the original buff log book showing just 3 former keepers and a genuine mileage of circa 40,000 from new.

The MkI Midget was initially fitted with a 948cc A-series engine, which was replaced in 1962 with the newer 1098 engine. It featured quarter elliptic rear spring suspension and drum brakes all round, which were then also upgraded in 1962 much like the engine. In 1964 the MkII Midget was released which saw much improved handling as a result of new half elliptic suspension, it was also fitted with new doors featuring external handles and even wind up windows!

1966 saw the release of the MkIII Midget, which featured several substantial upgrades with the addition of the Cooper S derived 1275cc engine. Along with this Rostyle wheels were fitted and there were a variety of minor body changes including the addition of round wheel arches in 1972.

Offered here is a 1973 MkIII MG Midget, arguably this is the most desirable model and year in the MG Midget timeline. It features the classic styling of early Midgets with chrome bumpers, combined with the speed of the 1275cc engine and benefitting from the various handling improvements that had stemmed from the previous years of development.

Following an incident with the car in 2004 it was subject to an Insurance settlement and a rebuild began shortly after. Due to time constraints the restortion was halted and the car is presented ready for completion by its new owner. With much of the work undertaken the car features genuine replacement parts including new wings, front valance and bumpers. Fitted with its original Rostyle wheels overall the car appears in great shape.

These MG Midgets are a joy to drive and perfect for both beginner and professional restorers alike. With their large and affordable parts availability, ease to work combined with the huge amount of resources on restoring them and it will no doubt be very rewarding once complete.

Aston Martin had always planned that the 1967 DBS would be powered by its new V8 engine, that had first been seen in 5.0 litre form in the Lola-Aston Martin sports-racing cars. Production problems, however, intervened and the DBS used the 4.0 litre, twin overhead camshaft, straight six of the concurrently produced DB6.

It was not until September 1967 that the DBS V8 was finally announced with production commencing in the following April.

This Aston Martin DBS V8 is an early Series I example and is being offered from a private collection having been barn stored for the past 10 years.

The handling was excellent with independent suspension, coil spring/wishbones at the front and de Dion tube at the rear with Watt’s linkage and twin radius arms. All this combined to create a perfect platform for Tadek Marek’s all-alloy V8. It boasted four overhead camshafts and Bosch electronic fuel injection. The 5,340cc V8 produced an impressive 320bhp at 5,000rpm; the resultant 160mph plus performance was nothing short of staggering in 1970.

Andre Citroën founded what was soon to become Europe’s largest car manufacturer in 1919. Willfully ambitious, he was so far ahead of his time that he went bust in 1934 and had to be rescued by Michelin.

What pushed him and his firm over the edge was the extraordinary Traction Avant, which was brimmed with innovations. Launched in 1934, not only was it front wheel drive but had rack-and-pinion steering, hydraulic brakes, a synchromesh gearbox and independently sprung front suspension.

Considerably stronger, lighter and lower slung than conventional designs of its era, it initially had a 1.3-litre 32bhp engine but was capable of 62mph and 28mpg economy with exemplary handling and stability. Only available in black, the 11B was launched in 1937 now with a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine producing 46bhp w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

and a top speed of 70mph. Production resumed after WW2 and lasted until 1957 when the equally revolutionary DS replaced the Traction after an astonishing 760,000 examples had been sold.

This 1953 example has been subject to a full ground-up restoration in 1999/2000 with a file of photographs to prove. Since the work was completed it has covered 17,000km and has recently been fitted with new Kevlar brake linings and new wheel cylinders all round, plus a stainless steel exhaust. The car has also been converted to run on unleaded petrol further making it a more usable classic. It is decked with period extras like smokers windows, boot scrapes, exhaust pipe deflector, spotlights and reversing lights which make it a very desirable example.

A very fine example that comes with a French ‘controle technique’ (MOT) until October 2014 and completed NOVA 1 documentation with a letter from HMRC saying that no VAT is due. It has done many long distance tours and was driven from the Loire to Herefordshire before being driven on to North Devon. Oozing with Gallic charm, the Traction Avant is a must-have for any serious car collection and now is the time to buy whilst they are still undervalued.

variations from factory specification are the fitment of a glass pop-up style sunroof and a Kenlowe electric fan.

Mechanically and electrically, TJT 385L is in very good order. The 3.5 litre V8 engine ticks over quietly and sweetly, and pulls well through the quiet 4-speed gearbox, which is fitted with Fairey overdrive on 3rd and 4th gears. The low range transfer box and diff locks work as they should. The engine oil and brake fluid has been changed in the last couple of weeks. The non-power assisted steering is as direct as any early Range Rover has a right to be (!), and the all-round disc brakes pull the car up progressively and in a straight line.

First released in 1964 the iconic Ford Mustang created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and therefore it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon.

The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘notchback’ coupé or convertible. It shared its front doublewishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon its cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear design, both its roof and cowl were also lower in comparison. It’s with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches as the running horse in the grille, the cut away side detailing and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car people were instantly passionate about w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

This 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback 289-cu, has recently arrived from Pennsylvania in late 2012. Finished in Wimbledon White with Red Interior the car presents very well indeed and is a lovely example indeed.

The cars last owner in the US was a military officer who gradually, sympathetically restored the car. He was forced to sell it due to long periods away from home.

On its arrival in to the UK the paintwork received a cut and polish. New brakes front and rear where also fitted and a new fuel tank and exhaust system was recently added with the exhaust exiting correctly through the rear valance. Both front Anti - Roll Bar Linkage rubber mountings where also replaced thus improving the handling and overall feel of the vehicle.

Incorporated on the car are factory GT fog lights and original re-furbished Alloys with excellent tyres. The interior is very clean, in good order and benefits from having the carpets replaced and Dyno Mat sound deadening throughout.

A lovely example that has a nice overall patina as a true Mustang should ready for the new owner to enjoy and treasure.

The biggest problem with classic Alpinas is finding one, even the most popular models only reached production numbers in the low hundreds, and right hand drive cars are particularly thin on the ground. With fierce loyal cognoscenti all Alpina models are highly sought after and cars like this particular E30 C2 2.7 rarely come to market.

It is reported that F843 NPH drives without fault with no nasty knocks or rattles whatsoever and the steering and suspension are both tight and firm and all fluid levels are clean and fresh. Showing a current mileage of 100,500 miles and with 210 bhp on tap this car really does have BMWs legendary silken wallop, and is most brutal past 4000 RPM all the way up to a top speed of 140 MPH.

Apart from gaining a much-needed extra factory, Jaguar’s acquisition of Daimler in 1960 also brought with it their exquisite Ed Turner-designed 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, a dynamo rather than 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, 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 to its Jaguar siblings thanks to its more favourable weight distribution due to the relatively lightweight engine.

The Restoration Show Sale

Estimate (£): No Reserve

Named after the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in South Africa, the Maserati Kyalami is an automobile produced

by Italian manufacturer Maserati from 1976 to 1983.

It was a new model rushed into production after Alejandro de Tomaso took helm of the company. De Tomaso had Pietro Frua take Tom Tjaarda’s design of the De Tomaso Longchamp (itself inspired by the Mercedes 450SLC) and modify the front and rear end to create a distinctive Maserati feel for the new car. The interior was also upgraded to incorporate classic Maserati elements such as the steering wheel and instrumentation.

210 Kyalami’s were built between 1976 and 1983.

Due to its rarity very little was written in magazines about the Kyalami. However, direct owner experiences confirmed the fundamental validity of its design, with a well-balanced, stiff chassis offering excellent body control and an agile, very easy to control handling. The w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

performance offered by the 4.9litre V8 was characterised by the abundant power and torque delivered by the engine. This car epitomised the last statement being a previous competitor on the gruelling 2002 London to Prague Classic Marathon. There is some history to accompany this car showing images of a detailed restoration believed completed in the period of c19931994. Past MoT’s from 1987 to 1993 track mileage increase from 64,000miles to 93,000miles before seemingly being reset as just 7,800 miles were recorded in 1994. By 2004, post-Classic Marathon, this had risen to nearly 28,000 miles.

Offered now with UK V5 registration document, this righthand drive example of a revered marque is presented for complete restoration with some works to the body having already been tackled. With many (perhaps all) component parts accompanying this Lot, it is reasonable to assume that this should be a manageable restoration. The all-important Maserati V8 powerplant and ZF gearbox are present and not believed to be seized. With some time and care this unusual Maserati could once again see this car competing in the 2015 Classic Marathon. Useful to account for is the presence of what appears to be all four original Campagnolo alloy wheels with a high-value attributed to these alone.

Lot 173 >> 1981 Lotus Esprit Turbo

The Lotus Esprit was built between 1976 and 2004, as well as a future release in 2014. The silver Italdesign concept that eventually became the Esprit was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in 1972 as a concept car and was a development of a stretched Lotus Europa chassis.

It was among the first of designer Giorgetto Giugiaro’s polygonal “folded paper” designs.

The interior was revised and featured new trim; combined with changes to the body moulds, which resulted in more headroom and an enlarged footwell. Externally, the Turbo Esprit retained the full aerodynamic body kit of the Essex cars and featured prominent ‘turbo esprit’ decals on the nose and sides and were supplied with 15” BBS alloy wheels.

First registered 25/08/1981 this Lotus Esprit Turbo is a rare dry sump original car in its original paint as lotus put it together in factory white with red cloth interior, recently uneathered from its long term slumber where it was laid up since 1996.

By the close of 1980, Lotus were building three different models of Esprit, with distinct chassis designs and body moulds - the S2.2, the Export S2 and the dry-sump Turbo Esprit. The Turbo Esprit had a common chassis, inheriting much of the configuration of the Limited edition Essex cars released previously.

The famed Jaguar MkII was voted car of the year when introduced in 1959. With 3 engine options - 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 (the 3.8 being the fastest saloon in the world at the time), it would form the mainstay of Jaguar’s saloon production until 1967. We are informed by the vendor who has owned this superb Jaguar since 1984 that the current mileage is just under 84000 miles and that ARF 385A fires readily from cold and soon settles to an even tick over with a notable burble, on the move there’s plenty of performance and excellent torque from the 3.8 litre engine, the transmission works perfectly and delivers seamless gear changes all the way through acceleration and the overdrive unit also works without fault.

good order to this day. The paint has a deep shine, the doors still close with a satisfying clunk and the bright work is reported as being generally good, with only some light tarnishing to both the front and rear bumper.

‘Nicely mellowed’ would be a good description of the interior, this Jaguar’s interior is clad with cream leather and plenty of timber. The interior hide is original and has patinated nicely over the years. This Jaguar looks spot on sitting on those beautiful wire wheels.

Under bonnet appearance is good with everything looking both clean and fresh; the vendor informs us that the cylinder heads have been overhauled along with various other minor replacements to ensure it should give excellent service. It fires into life readily and sounds great, with a subdued and discreet exhaust burble.

Power delivery is smooth and can be easily provoked into a spirited sprint from low revs, the brakes are firm, pulling up straight and true which all adds to a superb driving experience. It’s raffish and menacing and retains everything that Sir William Lyons wanted the MkII Jaguar to be, yet still embodies his guiding principles of ‘grace, space and pace’. It is supplied with a fresh MOT, original buff log book and history folder and 13 previous MOT certificates and is ready to be driven and enjoyed in equal measures.

The Jaguar 420 and its Daimler Sovereign equivalent were introduced at the October 1966 London Motor Show and produced for two years as the ultimate expression of a series of “compact sporting saloons” offered by Jaguar throughout that decade, all of which shared the same wheelbase. Developed from the Jaguar S-Type, the 420 cost around £200 more than that model and effectively ended buyer interest in it, although the S-Type continued to be sold alongside the 420/ Sovereign until both were supplanted by the Jaguar XJ6 late in 1968.

The Ford GT 40 is one of the greatest race cars, from one of the greatest racing periods. The 1960’s were the time of the famous Ford/Ferrari wars at Le Mans and in the World Sports Car championship and purportedly, the GT 40’s existence arose out of Ford’s desire and then failure to purchase Ferrari. What ensued is one of the greatest motorsport battles of all time between Ferrari, who had won Le Mans six consecutive times (1960-1965) and Ford, who then won Le Mans four consecutive times (1966-1969) proving that they too could compete at an international level. Consequently, given the cars’ competition pedigree and beautiful styling, these cars are worth well over a million dollars today. As a result, high quality dimensionally accurate recreations that employ original type Ford power plants are an affordable and enjoyable way to experience one of the all-time great cars. w w w.sil ve r s to n eau c t i o ns.com

Offered here is a KVA replica that was first registered on the 1st May 1988 to Alexander Trotman the then Chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Company. He sold it in December 1992 to the current owners Father who was also a Director at Ford.

Documentation in the concise history file shows that he was not a fan of the original powertrain set up of Rover V8 and Citroen gearing. So at considerable expense he went about changing it from 1993 onwards but remains unfinished and has not been on the road since.

A Ford 351 with its Webber IDF Carburetors now sits proudly in the rear and is expertly mounted 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.

A great deal of time and money has gone into this project, drawing on the owner’s connections and experience. It only remains for external cosmetic work and final finishing to make this into a very desirable GT40 replica. We have sold others recently for over £45,000. It is guided today most sensibly taking into consideration final works making it a very viable project.

Jaguar Mk.VII’s have languished for many years in the market and are just starting to gain the recognition they deserve. Incorporating the technology from the Jaguar sports cars when compared to the Bentleys and Rolls Royce’s of the era they make for extremely good value sporting saloons.

Offered as part of a barn find collection this Mk.VII was last MoT’d and road legal in 2007. This desirable manual car is a fantastic basis for a restoration project, unfortunately during its long period of dry storage the leather has suffered and in particular on the front seats it has dried out causing it to heavily crack, split and peal away. The wood trim has also suffered a similar fate in some areas whilst externally the body appears to be mostly solid with just expected signs of rust in the foot wells and some exterior bubbling.

The Jaguar XJS was, without doubt one of the finest grand touring cars of its day, even though it raised a few eyebrows when it was launched. It managed to survive Jaguars British Leyland era, the company’s subsequent privatisation and the takeover by Ford. The XJS Cabriolet represented the halfway house between a coupé and a full convertible. The cabriolet maintains a great deal of street cred nowadays and as such has already become a classic in its own right irrespective of whether it’s a 6 or 12 cylinder car. With a total production run of only 5,000 cars, less a number that have wasted away, these cars are a great investment for the future.

The Mini is considered an icon of the 1960s and has become one of the most famous classic cars of all time.

In 1959 The British Motor Corporation launched the Mini to compete with the bubble cars of the day. These were a consequence of the Suez crisis in 1956 that resulted in petrol rationing. Alec Issigonis, who designed the Morris Minor, was asked by BMC boss Leonard Lord to design a car that would drive the bubble cars off the road. He was instructed to design a car that would seat four, be the smallest car that the Corporation currently made and to use an existing engine. So the Mini was given the A series engine that had already been used in the Morris Minor and Austin A35 thereby making economical use of existing parts. The only difference was that it was mounted sideways in a very clever arrangement with the gearbox in the sump driving the front wheels. This design has been taken up by pretty much every car manufacturer worldwide to this day.

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, only 5,545 were built. Based on the three-door Sierra body shell, it was designed by Ford’s Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by the 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. Capable of 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds and a 150mph top speed, yet available for the reasonably affordable sum of £15,950, in 1986 the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a blue-collar hero able to humble true exotica. Then in 1988 the four door Sierra Sapphire Cosworth was

We are informed by the vendor that this particular Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 2WD was actually last issued with an MOT certificate in April of 2007. There is reported to be a good history file with the car including paperwork that indicates F177 KGP was the subject of a major engine overhaul by Ultimate Machine and Performance Services Ltd of Surrey in 2003. We are told the engine runs, however, we would suggest that given how long this car has been off the road the engine will need at the very least plenty of preventative maintenance.

Options included a van, estate or pick-up body and four or six wheel chassis.

one A-Series transverse engine, standard Mini front and rear non-hydrolastic suspension and the vehicle takes on the temperament of a terrier- little, tenacious, strong and full of character!

Our little Mini Scamp Mk I presented here was first registered in 1972. Powered by a Mini 1000cc engine, she is offered with a 11 months MOT and taxed (as an historic vehicle) until February 2015. She is also offered without reserve.

Whilst admittedly not being the most beautiful or aesthetically pleasing car, the Scamp more than makes up for her looks in head-turning ‘noticeability.’

With Mini’s and Mini derivatives very much on an upswing in value, this little characterful car could well prove a very wise and fun-packed investment...

They have been developed over the years to become one of the most versatile vehicles available - proving suitable as both a useful everyday vehicle as well as a formidable off-roading steed.

Designed and built as an all-purpose vehicle, combining many commercial applications with fun and leisure use, the Scamp has always been built for longevity utilising an immensely strong ERW steel multi-tubular design, clad with high quality aluminimum body panels.

The Alvis Car and Engineering Company was formed after the conclusion of the 1914-1918 war and quickly gained a reputation for building attractive luxury cars fitted with many technological advancements. Styled

by Swiss Carrosserie Graber and boasting coachwork manufactured by Rolls-Royce’s in house coachbuilder ‘Park Ward’, the Alvis TD 21 made its debut in 1958. The TD 21 initially retained the torquey 3-litre, overheadvalve six that came with 104 bhp , though this was increased early in 1959 to 120 bhp, courtesy of a new cylinder head and it was then capable of 100mph. Inside there were improvements to the accommodation with increased headroom and legroom when compared to the preceding TC108G, especially in the rear. Lockheed servo-assisted disc brakes were now an option, becoming standard in 1960. A mere 592 saloons were produced between 1959 and 1963, as a result these traditional, thoroughbred, luxury Gran Turismos are nowadays regarded as a very exclusive motor car.
