1998 BMW 840 CI SPORT
Built between 1989 and 1999, the BMW 8 Series was offered with a V8 or V12 engine and whilst commonly thought to be a successor to the 6 Series models, it was,in fact a new series entirely designed to be BMW’s flagship model and thus commanded a premium price with looks and performance to match. The 840Ci was produced with two different engines the first of which was a 4-litre V8 M60B40 unit producing of 286bhp and fitted from 1993 to late 1995. This was later changed to a new 4.4-litre V8 M60B40 unit which produced the same power output but had significantly better torque. Available with a 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox, the only external distinguishing features from the earlier V12 models were the quad round exhausts fitted to the latter cars. Reportedly 3,075 4.4-litre V8 BMW 840 Ci’s had found homes when production finished in May,1999.

This particular BMW 840Ci Sport is finished in Estoril Blue Metallic with a black leather interior and has the 4.4 litre V8 engine married to a 5-speed automatic gearbox and the distinctive ‘Sport’mirrors. A bill from 11th February 2003 shows the car was serviced by L&C BMW Croydon, with an indicated mileage of 106,188 miles. An MoT from January 2011 records 141,206 miles, at which point the car was put into storage and has remained unused. We would recommend that this car needs an amount of recommissioning work and would suggest it’s fully serviced before returning to the road, as it has been at a standstill for some time. Supplied with the drivers handbook & manuals, and a UK V5c bearing registration ‘B19 GRS’, this 840Ci, offered at no reserve, looks highly appealing!

The Ford Capri is a fastback coupé that was built by Ford Motor Company from 1969 to 1986. The inspiration came from Ford of America’s phenomenally successful Mustang, and Ford of Europe were keen to replicate that success this side of the pond. The resultant new coupé was actually designed by American Philip T. Clark, known for being one of the main designers of the Mustang. The Capri made its sensational debut at the 1969 Brussels International Motor Show, although production at the Halewood plant in Liverpool had actually begun two months earlier to ensure that every UK dealer had at least one in its showroom by the time sales started in February 1970. This level of forward production ensured that Ford’s brilliant marketing department were able to leave examples of its new car parked outside prominent buildings and near the entrance to 150 railway stations in the south-east of England. Initial sales exceeded the predicted demand by 100%, mainly because the Capri created an exciting new breed of car on this side of the Atlantic. Here, at last, was a sleek, eye-catching ‘fastback’ that bridged the gap between the traditional two-seater sports car and the family saloon. The Capri concept was made all the more attractive by a remarkably wide choice of engines from a 1.3-litre to the lusty 3.0-litre V6. As exciting as the Mkll was rational, the Capri Mklll (1978-1986) was one of the industry’s most effective facelifts with a distinctly modern shape, and its improved aerodynamics naturally resulted in better performance and economy. Quad headlights, wrap-around bumpers and a plethora of TV star appearances restored the Capri’s ‘mojo’. From November 1984 onwards, the Capri was only produced for the British market and only right hand drive cars were available from this date. The normally aspirated 1.6 and 2.0 litre Pinto-engined variants

were rebranded ‘Lasers’ with a big marketing push by Ford. These new models featured more stylish interior trim and a number of changes from the outgoing cars including a fully populated instrument pod (with a 4-speaker digital stereo cassette player), a leather gear lever, a leather steering wheel, four-spoke alloy wheels (as used on the S models), a rear spoiler, an electric aerial, tinted windows and colourcoded grill and mirrors. A Capri Laser was instantly recognisable by their chequered side stripes running above the side trim and matching chequered cloth seats. Here is a 1986, 2.0 litre, Mklll Capri Laser which is presented in amazingly original and unrestored condition. This car has covered just 6,904 miles from new and comes with lots of history, its original bill of sale, numerous old MoT certificates and some early Ford service history. Its owner was involved in the car maintenance/servicing business and was equally fastidious when it came to his own car. It has seldom been out in the rain, retains its original rust proofing from new and still sits on its original tyres with an untouched spare! Looking fantastic in Ford ‘Mineral Blue’, it really is exceptional in its level of preservation, and is surely one of the best examples available. Capris are now becoming sought after, with low mileage originalcondition examples becoming harder to find and naturally it is these cars that are the most desirable. Completely unmolested examples are very rare. One in standard specification, as it was when it left the factory, very rare indeed. To find an original car boasting just one registered owner - now that would be a tall order. One with all of this and that had covered just 6,904 miles from new - well, that surely would be impossible........wouldn’t it?

1988 JAGUAR XJ40 SOVEREIGN
Registration: E264OMP Chassis Number: SAJJHALH3AA548436 Engine Number: 9DPAMA149582 Estimate (£): 5,000 - 8,000
Manufactured between 1987 and 1994, the Jaguar XJ40 was officially unveiled on the 8th October 1986 and was a major redesign of the XJ to replace the Series III, although the two model ranges were sold concurrently until the Series III was discontinued in 1992.
Supplied new on 15/04/1988 by Jaguar dealer, Harvey Hudson of Woodford at a cost of £29,572.25, this lovely Sovereign 3.6 Automatic presents superbly having covered a nominal 39,000 miles whilst under the obvious care of its first and only owner.
Throughout the 1970s Jaguar had been developing “Project XJ40”, which was an all-new model intended to replace the original XJ6, and despite a number of serious delays for various reasons it was eventually decided to go ahead with an in-house design, and £80 million was allocated to the project. Sadly, the XJ40 was to be the last car to which, company founder Sir William Lyons, made a major contribution. During development, the XJ40 pioneered significant improvements to the way Jaguar designed, built, and assembled cars. Among these improvements was a 25 per cent reduction in the number of bodywork panels required per car, resulting in a weight saving and a stiffer structure. Greater attention to panel gaps improved the drag factor, whilst also improving the fuel economy and lowering wind noise inside the cabin.
Having been used sparingly, and snoozed gently under its dedicated car cover in the garage its entire life, the sparkling condition of its Grenadier Red paintwork is not a surprise. The interior is, quite frankly, outstanding with the soft cream leather remaining supple, the grey carpets are excellent and the cross-banded veneers on the dashboard and door cappings look immaculate. Lifting the bonnet you’re met with one of the cleanest, tidiest engine bays we have seen on a XJ40. Supplied with lots of supporting documents and history and boasting a recent MoT, this car is surely, pound for pound, one of the best value cars you can buy.
From 1988, the Sovereign model came equipped with significantly more features than the base XJ6. Included was air conditioning, larger rectangular headlamps with washers, a six-speaker sound system, rear self-leveling suspension (SLS), ABS, and the window frames were now chrome-plated.

The 944 is a luxury sports car that was built by Porsche from 1982 to 1991 and was a step-change evolution of the preceding 924 model. Following the international success of the 924, a more powerful Porsche-designed all-alloy 2.5 litre inline-four engine, producing 163 bhp, was introduced in 1982 for the 944. Porsche engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. These carry eccentric weights which produce inertial forces that balance out the unbalanced secondary forces, making a four-cylinder engine feel as smooth as a six-cylinder. Cosmetically, the bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the braking and suspension systems. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a major step forward. The front to rear weight bias was evened out thanks to the newly positioned rear transaxle balancing out the engine in the front. This meant that understeer could be transformed into oversteer progressively with accurate throttle control, resulting in one of the best and most predictable handling cars available in its day. The power steering is progressive with full power assistance at low speed, gradually decreasing as the speed increases, negating the age-old problem of steering vagueness at higher speeds. The model history can be split in to two distinct periods: 1982 to 1989 (S1 cars with 2.5 & 2.7 litre engines) and 1989 to 1991 (S2 cars with 3.0 litre engines). In mid-1985, the 944 underwent its first significant changes, including a new dash and door panels, embedded radio antenna, upgraded alternator, increased oil sump capacity, new front &

rear cast alloy control and semi-trailing arms, larger fuel tank, optional heated and powered seats, Porsche HiFi sound system, and revisions in the mounting of the transaxle to reduce noise and vibration. The ‘cookie cutter’ style wheels used in the early 944s were upgraded to new ‘phone dial’ style wheels. For the 1987 model year, the 944 Motronic DME (digital engine control unit) was updated, a newly incorporated anti-lock braking system became standard as did air-bags. The car presented here is a 1987 944 2.5-litre, in stunningly original condition having covered just 19,523 validated miles. The sheer state of preservation of this car is remarkable. This is not a restored car, just one that has been used sparingly and maintained to the highest standards. Supplied with all its supporting book-pack components, including a fully stamped-up servicing interval book, all done by main dealers and marque specialists, this car is very special indeed. In its original Alpine White paint, contrasting well with the Grey pinstriped cloth/leather sports-seats, the quality of this car is something special. Everything about the car suggests that this 944 is “right”, from the factory smell of the cabin, to the engine bay appearance and the factory stickers under the boot carpet, this is a car that just emanates originality and enthusiastic levels of conservation. The 1987 S1 is the 944 in its purest and most unspoilt form, with this example being a potential Concours d’Elegance winner with just minimal work. The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the ‘911 explosion’ and the smooth and nimble 944 is now happily being recognised as a very desirable classic car.

1958 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD I
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud replaced the post-war Dawn and was the core model in their range from April 1955 until March 1966. The J. P. Blatchley design was a major step forward from the pre-war models but still embodied the ethos and build standards for which Rolls-Royce had become internationally famous. The single headlamp version of, what was to become known as the Cloud I, harks back to earlier models and was the last Rolls model to feature them. Arguably the best looking of all Clouds, the elegantly simple lines and eerily quiet purr of the straight six 4.9 litre engine, helped secure the future of Rolls-Royce prior to the arrival of the more mass-market Silver Shadow. Construction was body-on-frame, which permitted ‘coach built’ versions although the overwhelming majority were built with the standard Pressed Steel Company manufactured steel bodyshell. A lightweight aluminium based alloy was used for the doors, bonnet and the boot lid. The engine was a 4.9 litre six-cylinder unit with inlet over

exhaust valves and twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957. Critics of the Cloud’s later variants noted that the new 6.75 V8 was neither smooth nor quiet compared to the Cloud 1’s 4.9-litre straight-six. Registered on the 3rd March 1958, this wonderful example stands resplendent today in Tudor Grey with a green leather interior and the beautifully veneered dashboard, door cappings and picnic tables shine brightly. With an odometer reading of 47,000 and an interesting history file, the Cloud I is a rare beast on British roads. The swooping lines have bewitched landed gentry and pop stars alike, and for many years the Silver Cloud was the transport of choice for our own Royal Family. Presented to auction freshly serviced and MoT’d, this stately car offers timeless looks and an elegance that some believe is lacking in later generations.

Ford finally entered the mini-car market in 1976 with the launch of the Fiesta. The model proved an unqualified success right from the word go but surprisingly, it took nearly six years before a genuine performance version was added to the range, in the neat & tidy form of the XR2. This sporting model may well have been inspired by the famous success of the two Ford Fiestas in the 1979 Monte Carlo Rally with the British entry driven by Roger Clark and aided by co-driver Jim Porter, and a German entry piloted by Ari Vatanen and co-driven by David Richards. Both cars were highly modified and were powered by competition tuned versions of the 1600cc Kent ‘crossflow’ engine - a later version of which was fitted in the Fiesta XR2, launched in 1981. Visually, the XR2 popped into the limelight in a range of new colours, with alloy wheels, large circular driving lamps and black plastic trim decorating the interior and exterior. With a quoted performance of 0-60 mph in 9.3 seconds and 105 mph top speed, the XR2 hot hatch became a cult car beloved of boy racers throughout the 1980s. The car offered here is a 1983 XR2 in exceptionally original condition. Sparkling in the classic Ford colour of Caspian Blue, this car is a multiaward winning Concours example.

LOT 306
Registration: SIJ 1993 Chassis Number: VS6BXXWPFBDE62929 Engine Number: DE62929 Estimate (£): 15,000 - 18,000
The car was bought new by an elderly couple in Northern Ireland who used it sparingly up until 1988 but must have really enjoyed their sporty little Fiesta as they then bought a Mk2 XR2 for daily use. Consequently, the earlier car was laid-up in the garage and was unused, having covered 29,000 miles, until 2000. The couple then sold the car to a Ford enthusiast, who re-commissioned it for occasional use and for showing at car events. This XR2 won several Concours d’ Elegance in Northern Ireland, accumulating quite a collection of trophies which will come with the car. In addition, there is also the original service book showing three stamps from the supplying Ford main dealer, numerous old MoT & SORN certificates, all original manuals and a spare key. Rarely do cars of this standard leave collections. Almost as infrequently, do we describe cars as immaculate, but both mechanically and cosmetically, this little XR2 really is just that. This example, not to be confused with other run-of-the-mill XR2s, is surely one of the best available, and would be welcomed at any Ford marque event. The market interest in classic Fords is widening, with enthusiasts and collectors wanting to seek out immaculate examples of cars that, perhaps, they really wanted during their boyhood.
It has covered just 32,000 miles in 33 years, but frankly, with its state of preservation and maintenance, it could be one tenth of that. Having been treated to rust-proofing from new, it has all its original panels, glass, alloy wheels (fitted with perfect Pirelli P6 tyres) plus an unused spare. It is completely unmodified and has a new genuine Ford exhaust.

1951 JAGUAR XK120 ROADSTER
Registration: LNX 277 Chassis Number: 660258 Engine Number: Not Specified Estimate (£): 34,000 - 38,000
A car-starved Britain, still trundling around in perpendicular, prewar hangover motors glimpsed the future in October 1948 with the launch of the Jaguar XK120 at the Earls Court Motor Show. Production commenced in 1949 in Coventry, and the XK’s swoopy shape and stylish occupants would become a common sight on British roads over the next fifteen years. The ‘120’ referred to the car’s top speed which, at the time, made it the fastest production car in the world. The flowing lines of the body shell were pressed from sheet steel and the doors, bonnet and boot were formed from lighter aluminium and handfinished. The 120s were powered by a 3,400cc Jaguar dual overhead cam (the basis of all their engines for the next 25 years) with an alloy cylinder head and twin side draft SU carburettors giving 160bhp. All XKs had independent torsion bar front suspension, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, recirculating ball steering and 12 “ drum brakes all round.
available. All the panels and chassis appear corrosion free and this is a great basis for a ‘blank canvas’ restoration. Originally registered in July 1951 to a Mr.W.Morgan of Rugby, Warwickshire, it was purchased from him in 1959 by Mr. Arne Nils Persson who, according to his wife, fitted a 4.3 Alvis engine and proceeded to race the Jaguar, most notably at Silverstone. The pre-war Alvis engine was an ohv, six cylinder power unit with a seven main bearing crank producing around 150 bhp at 4,000 rpm with lots of torque, and immediately post-war, was the most powerful un-supercharged engine generally available and featured extensively in competition in the early fifties as the world of motor racing came back to life. It was dry-sumped, and LNX 277 still retains the original fabricated oil tank. The next owner, prior to our vendor, removed the Alvis engine and fitted a period-correct (1952) Jaguar engine.
Offered here is a genuine UK, right-hand drive, Jaguar XK120 Roadster retaining its original Dudley registration and buff logbook. It’s incredibly original and must be one the soundest unrestored examples

1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES II ROADSTER
Introduced in May 1961, the Jaguar E-type was a sensation with great looks and performance unrivaled at the price. Often heralded as the most beautiful car of all time Jaguar, not surprisingly, made no significant model changes till the introduction of the 4.2 engine in October 1964.and the introduction of the Series II in 1968. Additionally, they incorporated an all synchromesh gearbox, increased legroom and better torque from the new capacity engine. This resulted in the best E-type and now Grand Tourer to match the best being produced by Jaguars rivals. The E-type still continued to hammer the opposition on pricing and reliable performance. This series II E-Type roadster is a matching numbers car with supporting Jaguar heritage certificate. It spent the majority of its life in the warm climate of California and was brought to the UK in the 1990s and upon arrival, it was professionally converted to right-hand drive by a Jaguar specialist. It was then stored for almost 20 years until being discovered by our vendor in the summer of 2015 and reassembled by a marque specialist. The car is currently running and driving and many jobs have already been completed. These include work on the engine, carbs, gearbox, clutch, rear axle, diff, brakes and suspension. A wiring loom has been fitted along with a radiator, stainless steel exhaust and reconditioned bright work.

Our vendor states that the body is solid with many repairs undertaken, such as the transmission tunnel and floors, and this E-Type would certainly suit a hobby restorer or enthusiast. Paintwork is required, along with a new hood and interior, but this is a relatively straight forward project and prospective buyers are encouraged to come and view the car at the auction to assess the condition. We welcome all pre-sale inspections and the car is sold strictly as seen. E-Type roadster prices are currently seeing a resurgence as fewer and fewer sound examples find their way on to the open market. However, this Series II is a worthy project and deserves to be finished and loved for many years to come.

1976 FERRARI 308 GT4 DINO
Introduced at the 1973 Paris Motor Show, the Dino 308 GT4 was a significant departure for Ferrari in several ways. It was the first production car from Modena to feature a mid-engined V8, a layout that would become common to their core range for decades to come, along with the first production model to feature Bertone styling rather than Pininfarina bodywork. The styling was controversial at the time, with some journalists comparing it to the Bertone-designed Lancia Stratos and Lamborghini Urraco. The chassis was based on the Dino 246 but was stretched to make space for a 2+2 Configuration. The 3.0 Litre V8 was integrally joined with the gearbox and had an alloy block and heads with dual overhead camshafts fed through 4 Weber 40 DCNF carburettors. This Ferrari 308 GT4 was supplied new by HR Owen in South Kensington on 8th June 1976. The V5C states 4 former keepers from new and the last owner bought it from John Pogson at Italia Autosport in 2003. He kept the car until 2015 when it was purchased by the current owner. Finished in the extremely rare and original colour of Pino Verde with a tan interior, this Ferrari is one of just 547 examples manufactured for the UK market.

Between 1994 and 1996, with an odometer reading of 5,350 miles, the car was restored by marque specialists Italia Autosport and there are bills, receipts and photographs that document the process. The photos show a car that was stripped with all the glass out and all rust areas attended to. The car was then repainted in its original colour. The odometer is now reading 18,293 miles and whilst not warranted, there are previous MoT certificates that date back to 1991 showing the car at 5,251 miles. The current condition of this 308 GT4 suggests it does need some light recommissioning. The wheel arches will require some attention and the car would benefit from a re-spray. However, the car is supplied with a current MoT, tool roll, aforementioned history file and represents Ferrari ownership for a most realistic outlay. We have never seen a Pino Verde 308 GT4 for sale through our auctions and it must be one of the rarest and most attractive colours for this ground breaking and increasingly sought-after 1970’s Ferrari.

The 944 is a luxury sports car that was built by Porsche from 1982 to 1991 and was a step-change evolution of the preceding 924 model. The car was the brainchild of the newly appointed Peter Schutz, the CEO of the Porsche company, and the bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), the interior was modernised and the suspension and braking systems were upgraded. With a brand new, Porsche designed and developed, 2.5 litre four cylinder engine, the car had greater visual presence and the performance to match, plus better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts. A turbo version of the 944 was always on the cards and it boosted the 2.5 litre engine by nearly 60bhp, whilst both the clutch and gearbox were uprated to suit. The chassis got thicker anti-roll bars, four pot brake callipers were fitted and a smooth nose panel and a larger rear spoiler distinguished it from its less powerful sibling.

1978 TVR 3000M
The TVR ‘M’ series were produced between 1972 and 1979 replacing the outgoing Vixen and Tuscan models and all are characterized by a common chassis and shared body style. As with all TVR models, before and since, the M Series use a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive and GRP body-on-frame construction. This particular part of the TVR story, encompassing the ‘M’ Series’ time in the limelight, is commonly associated with Martin Lilley who, together with his father, took over ownership of the company in late 1965. The ‘M’ Series cars were regarded by contemporary reviewers as true TVRs with great performance and handling and all the charming idiosyncrasies of a traditional ‘Trevor’.They retained styling cues going right back to the early Grantura, but with every development they became more ‘civilised’. The range comprised the 1600M, 2500M, 3000M, 3000S, the Taimar and some later Turbo cars. As a higher-performance alternative to the 1600M and 2500M, TVR debuted the 3000M at the October 1972, Earl’s Court Motor Show. It used the 3.0 litre Ford Essex V6 mated to a 4-speed manual box with an optional Laycock overdrive. Just 654 naturally aspirated 3000Ms were built and weighing in at 950 kilos, they were quick little cars.

The very comprehensive history file contains twenty seven MoTs and the current one expires in January 2017. In May 2004, having covered 44,300 miles, our engineer owner decided to have the engine rebuilt by JW Developments to their ‘High Efficiency’ specification. These engines are pretty well bomb proof and a quality rebuild, including a conversion to unleaded heads, by respected engine builders should ensure years of life. The engine bay carries their specification plate. Two sets of original keys, original documents and handbooks are present completing a remarkable story.

1982 LANCIA MONTECARLO S2 COUPE
Acquiring a mid-engined, Pininfarina-built, Italian classic would normally require pretty deep pockets, both to buy and run, but there are one or two exceptions though, one of which is the distinctive Lancia Beta Montecarlo. The first car to be fully designed and built in-house by Pininfarina, this compact two-seat sports car was originally intended to be sold as the Fiat X1/20, however, once the opportunity to offer the car at a higher premium presented itself, the responsibility of development was delegated to Lancia. Despite the name, it shares very little else in common with the regular Beta. Early on in the development phase it was powered by 3.0-litre V6 engine mounted behind the driver, but with the arrival of the 1973 oil crisis and its necessary economies, the decision was made to change to a 1995cc twin-cam four-cylinder. The Montecarlo was offered as either a Coupé or a Convertible, the latter featuring a ‘targa-like’ opening with a manually retracting roof. Two versions of the Montecarlo were produced over a six year period. The first, known as the Beta Montecarlo, was released in 1975 with an inline-four cylinder producing 118bhp, enough for a sub-10 second, 0-60 time and a top speed of 119mph. Alloy wheels measured 13 inches, while the cabin was trimmed in vinyl, with fabric upholstery an optional extra. A total of 5,638 Beta Montecarlos were manufactured, 3,558 were coupés, the remainder being convertibles. Two years later, the second-generation (S2) model appeared, which along with a brake fix (which involved fitting larger front discs and calipers, and removing the servo altogether) introduced a number of updates. The front-end styling featured a new split grille design first seen on the Delta a year earlier, while the buttresses were partly glazed to improve rear visibility. At the back, an aluminium strip sits in place of the body coloured metal

where the badging was located previously. A new alloy wheel design, measuring 14 inches, was necessary to house the larger brakes. Inside, the Montecarlo (the Beta prefix was dropped for the second-gen model) gained new materials and the two-spoke steering wheel was replaced with a three-spoke Momo, ‘de riguer’ for Ferraris of the period. Mechanical changes were fairly limited. The engine gained a higher compression ratio, new carburettors and electronic ignition to improve drivability, while the suspension geometry was also revised. Production ran for a single year, with 1,123 coupés and 817 Spyders produced. Offered here is a fantastic example of Lancia’s ‘baby Ferrari’ with only 23,800 miles and three owners from new it is totally original. Importantly, it’s the final evolution of the Series 2 and is one of only 172 UK RHD examples built in total. Supplied new by Lancia main dealer, Cloverleaf Cars of Basingstoke, it was purchased by our vendor in February 1984 when it had covered 8,900 miles and has remained with him since. Finished in Red with a mixed grey interior, the car appears immaculate and has patently been well cared for. The bodywork and trim look unmarked and the engine bay is excellent. The comprehensive history file contains the original purchase invoice showing that a Lancia Fulvia 1.3S had been part exchanged. All the original owners books, tools, manuals and two sets of keys are present together with the old MoTs. It has a new MoT through to February 2017 showing no advisories.

1978 ASTON MARTIN V8 SERIES III
Aston Martin’s customers had been clamouring for an eight-cylinder car for years, so Aston Martin designed a larger two-door saloon for V8 applications. The engine was not ready, however, so in 1967, the company released the DBS with the straight-six Vantage engine from the DB6. Two years later, Tadek Marek’s V8 was ready, and Aston released the DBS V8. With the demise of the straight-six Vantage in 1973, the DBS V8, now restyled and called simply the Aston Martin V8, became the company’s mainstream car for nearly two decades. It took a well-earned retirement in favour of the Virage in 1989. This example, chassis #11973, is an original UK right-hand drive automatic, built on 23rd June 1978. Supplied by H.W.Motors Ltd of Walton-On-Thames to its first owner and finished in Imperial Burgundy with a Fawn leather interior. This car has the VIN suffix ending RCAS, indicating that it is one of the last Series III V8s produced and features four twin-choke, downdraught Weber carburettors replaceing the Bosch fuel injection system.

When the DS was unveiled at the 1955 Paris Salon, there were gasps of amazement all round-and rightly so. Looking like something that had just arrived from outer space, the DS was revolutionary in every sense, and suddenly Citroen’s Traction Avant looked decidedly ‘old hat’. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken, and orders for that first day totalled 12,000. It pushed the boundaries in the ‘ride versus handling’ compromise equation beyond what was thought possible in a motor vehicle. The DS was the first mass produced car with front disc brakes that were mounted inboard on either side of the differential and was effectively a mid-engined front wheel drive car. It also featured ‘hydropneumatic’ suspension, which included an automatic leveling system, and variable ground clearance, power steering and a semi-automatic transmission. Over its twenty years of currency, the DS appeared in a variety of body shapes with a number of different engines and transmissions, and in 1957 it was decided to produce a simplified version known as the ID19 (in French ID is pronounced “Idée”- idea). This was essentially a DS19 but without the hydraulic steering, brakes or gearbox, while the engine had a lower output and the interior was a little less luxurious.

This original RHD Citroen ID DSuper 5 was delivered new to Cyprus where it has remained until just last year. Having spent its more recent years laid up and unused, the car was extensively restored and brought back to life in 2014. All the panels were removed leaving the basic skeleton and all concerned were delighted to find that, primarily because of the dry climate, the car was remarkably well preserved enabling much of the original car to be salvaged and restored to the fantastic condition in which it’s presented today. All mechanical aspects of the car were, of course, similarly treated and the engine benefits from being stripped and checked before being rebuilt with new gaskets and valves. Much the same with the all important hydropneumatic system that has been overhauled and rebuilt. The car is accompanied by a number of invoices detailing the new parts used in the restoration. This car is superb example of a true icon, and with all the hard work undertaken, this wonderful French ‘spaceship’ requires nothing else other than to be driven and enjoyed. Amusez-vous bien!
IDs and their variants went through a similar evolution to the DS, generally lagging its sibling by about a year. In 1973, pretty well at the end of the model’s lifespan, the top of the range ID was introduced and was known as the ‘DSuper 5’, featuring the 2,175cc engine and fivespeed gearbox from the DS.

1982 LAND ROVER SERIES III 88 INCH
Land Rover had continued to update the original 1948 model from inception and the Series III was the culmination of nearly thirty years of development and improvements. For the first time, they sought a new buyer demographic, amongst leisure users. The Series III had the same body and engine options as the preceding IIA and was little changed cosmetically from the IIA to the Series III, however the III is the most common with 440,000 of the type built from 1971 to 1985. The headlights were moved to the wings on late production IIA models from 1968/9 onward (ostensibly to comply with Australian, American and Dutch lighting regulations) and remained in this position for the Series III. The traditional metal grille, featured on the Series I, II and IIA, was replaced with a plastic one for the Series III model. The 2.25-litre engine had its compression raised from 7:1 to 8:1 increasing the power slightly although the high compression engine had been an optional fit on the IIa model for several years, During the Series III production run between 1971 and 1985, the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the line in 1976. The Series III saw many changes in the later part of its life as Land Rover updated the design to meet increased competition. This was the first model to feature synchromesh on all four gears as only some late H-suffix SIIA models, mainly the more expensive Station Wagons, had used the all-synchro box in the past. In keeping with early seventies trends in automotive interior design, the simple metal dashboard of earlier models was redesigned to accept a new moulded plastic dash and the instrument cluster, which was previously centrally located, was moved to the driver’s side.

Briefly, the car was rebuilt around a brand new Richards galvanised chassis, rebuilt bulkhead including new foot wells and the 2286 cc petrol engine was stripped down, cleaned, inspected and parts changed where needed. The gear and transfer boxes had a full inspection and replacement of parts where required, as did the axles. The suspension and wheels had significant attention with new Rocky Mountain parabolics including new gas shock absorbers and five 750 x 16 Avon Range Master tyres were mounted on refurbed wheels painted in Old English white. A genuine replacement fuel tank, new radiator and Lucas battery have also been fitted together with a new wiring loom, lights and wing mirrors. The whole vehicle was re-assembled carefully with all the new bits that have to be sourced when you carry out a comprehensive restoration such as this.There are some really good photos of the whole process. The bodywork was taken back to bare metal and given a proper respray in Sage Green which was the original 1948 colour and a new PVC hood was fitted over the galvanised frame.To finish off the project, the interior was upgraded with three new Defender seats in the front covered in a ‘diamond stitch’ pattern, matching bench seats in the rear and new mats and belts. With just 82,500miles and a new MoT until November 2016, this superb Land Rover is perfect for summer fun, at a fraction of the price of a Series I or Defender.

By the late 1960s, both Volkswagen and Porsche were in need of new models; Porsche was looking for a replacement for their entry-level 912, and Volkswagen wanted a new range-topping sports coupé to replace the Karmann Ghia. At the time, the majority of Volkswagen’s developmental work was handled by Porsche, part of a set up that dated back to Porsche’s founding. Volkswagen needed to contract out one last project to Porsche to fulfil their end of the deal, and decided to make this that project so Ferdinand Piëch, who was in charge of research and development at Porsche, was put in charge of the 914 project. The Porsche 914 replaced the top of VW’s line, the Type 34 Karmann Ghia. On March 1, 1968, the first 914 prototype was presented, however development became complicated after the death of Volkswagen’s chairman, Heinz Nordhoff, on April 12, 1968. His successor, Kurt Lotz, was not connected with the Porsche dynasty and the verbal agreement between Volkswagen and Porsche fell apart. However, in the end it didn’t really matter and over the seven years of the model’s life, the 914 would outsell the 911 and eventually find over 118,000 homes. The 914 on offer here is a 1973, 2litre European model and was delivered in early January of that year to Michael Roche who lived near New Ross in Waterford County in Ireland. The car was sourced through AFN in Isleworth and ordered in the special colour of Saturngelb (L99A Metallic-Chrome Yellow) with Corduroy Fabric and pile carpets, and the original 1972 colour chart is in the history file. First registered on 12/01/1973 the car was to remain in the possession of the Roche family (father Michael and son Matthew) until its sale to Chris Knowles in May of 2015.

Used initially as daily transport, after a couple of years Michael Roche chose to use it sporadically and during 2003/4/5 he decided to restore it, and there are bills in the history file for many thousands of pounds. The car was fully resprayed at some point and we understand that he was happy with the result at the time although it now appears that some panels have since reacted badly and will need further attention. During this period the engine was rebuilt by classic Porsche experts Roger Bray Restorations in Exeter and the suspension, brakes, shock absorbers and exhaust were restored or replaced as part of this ‘rolling’ restoration. Our vendor had planned to complete the restoration after his purchase last year but other projects have taken priority and the car is now for sale. Basically this little yellow 914 is almost there. The interior is in fine condition, the contemporary Fuchs wheels are good as is the Targa top. The engine has recently been run but needs setting up and tuning and the bodywork needs a sympathetic repaint. The history file with the car makes interesting reading and contains the Eire Registration Book, the last Tax Disc, the transfer of ownership certificate in 2015, confirmation that no VAT is due, a large pile of invoices relating to work carried from 1973 up until last year and a number of photos. In addition there are half a dozen period brochures from 72/73 and a couple of contemporary road tests in ‘Road and Track’ and ‘The Motor’. After import from Ireland into the UK last year a NOVA form was submitted, but since the car does not yet have an MoT, a UK licence number cannot be obtained. These cars have a lovely seventies appeal and are rapidly becoming sought after, and, with a bit of paint and a little tlc, could soon be someone’s pride and joy.

1948 LAND ROVER SERIES 1 CHASSIS #149 SIDE PLATE ENGINE
In 1947, whilst holidaying at his North Wales farm, Rover’s chief designer Maurice Wilks came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural utility vehicle in the style of the Willys Jeep. He would have no idea that his design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The original Land Rover was presented in Sage Green with a canvas roof and revolutionised rural transport. As an engineering marvel it can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, dozens of improvements were made throughout the long production run. The holy grail for any Land Rover enthusiast is an early Series I, and there are a number of visual clues for an early car. The lights must be behind the grille, no exterior door handles and a ‘side plate’ engine. This very special Landy, chassis number 860149 ticks those boxes and more. Built on the 13th September 1948 and delivered new to Steels Garage Limited of Cheltenham on the 1st October 1948, Chassis #149 was collected and then registered on 6th October by the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, as confirmed in the ‘buff log book’, supplied in the history file. We are very grateful to the Royal Agricultural College for delving into their archives and unearthing a period photograph of HDG 600 being used in 1950, and a copy of their accounts for the financial year 1949 confirm that they paid £509.4s 6d for it. As one would expect from a very early Series I the lights are indeed behind the grille, there are no exterior door handles and the engine is the correct ‘side plate’, with the oil filler close to the bulkhead.

Sympathetically restored and owned by our vendor, a Land Rover enthusiast who is downsizing his Land Rover collection, Chassis #149 is finished in the correct Sage Green and we are told is on the original chassis. The very rare side plate engine starts on the button, although we cannot categorically confirm or deny that it’s the original engine as Land Rover records for this period are incomplete. The engine number (as stamped) is 860659 but does not tally with the V5, which shows the same chassis and engine number, a not uncommon occurrence with DVLA historic vehicles records. Frustratingly the original buff log book does not list the engine number, just the chassis number. A Land Rover Heritage Certificate has been applied for and should be ready in time for viewing, and we have also asked The Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester for their assistance in digging up any documents in their archives, including period photographs during their ownership of the car between 1948 and 1966. This consignor is no stranger to the Series I Land Rover, Silverstone Auctions holds two of the Top Five World records for a standard Series I, and when we are offered a car like this it is hard not to get excited, especially with the final Land Rover, the Defender, going out of production just last month. It is notable that the last ever Land Rovers produced, part of the limited run of four hundred ‘Heritage’ models, are finished in nearly identical colours. Wouldn’t it great to have one of the first Land Rovers, in the same colours, parked alongside the last ever produced? We firmly believe that Chassis #149 is the most important Land Rover to be offered for auction in recent years.

Regarded by many as the last really pretty Ferrari, the 355 was launched in early 1994 and shared most of its dimensions with its predecessor the 348, but was, in most respects, a brand new design although retaining the ‘flying buttress’ rear window styling cue which dated back to the 1965, 206 Dino GT. The Berlinetta and the Targa topped GTS, were available initially with the 355 Spyder joining the range about a year later. An increase in capacity from 3.4 to 3.5 litres and a new 5 valve head, managed to produce 375 bhp from the longitudinally mounted V8 at a spine tingling 8,250 rpm and the innovative F1 electro-hydraulic, ‘paddle-shift’ automatic six-speed gearbox, combined with the instantly adjustable shock absorbers and extra engine power meant that the 355 was considerably more competent and consequently more enjoyable, than its predecessor. This lovely, 1998, left-hand drive 355 Berlinetta F1, was delivered new to Switzerland and has been enjoyed by two owners. It’s finished in classic Rosso Corsa with a factory bespoke interior featuring Carbon Fibre, Black leather and Red carpets. It was fitted from new with ‘Challenge’ side skirts and grill, ceramic shields, detailed black graphite wheels and a custom exhaust.

De Tomaso’s replacement for their successful Mangusta in 1971 was the avant-garde and stylish Pantera. Retaining the best of the ingredients from the Mangusta, including the mid mounted 300 horse power Ford 351 cubic inch V8 Cleveland engine, 5 speed ZF transaxle and dramatic styling, the Pantera also added monocoque construction into the mix. The cars sold well, limited production running from 1971 through to the early 90s with various derivatives emerging from the factory, although it is the early cars that have a certain purity of line ensuring they remain the most attractive and collectible. The car offered here today is an early and restored 1972 example finished in the superb combination of two-tone grey and black paintwork with a black leather interior. This Pantera was comprehensively restored approximately 10 years ago and there are bills and receipts in the history file totalling $50,000. Photographs of the restoration show the car stripped back to bare metal and suggest this was a nut and bolt rebuild. The previous owner decided that the original 351 cubic inch Ford V8 was not sufficient, so this one is powered by a Ford 420 cubic inches (7,327cc) ‘stroker’ mated to the original 5-speed ZF gearbox. “The addition of big-block power in a small-block package makes this car feel invincible on the street.” Although not 100% original, the engine is still a Ford unit and provides a refined and very impressive

Following our inspections, we can confirm the bodywork is presented in very good condition with excellent paintwork and shut lines. The interior is delightfully original and is presented in lovely re-trimmed order. The engine bay suggests no expense was spared during the rebuild and the mid-engined V8 certainly takes centre stage. The odometer is reading an unwarranted 57,248 miles and the Campagnolo wheels have been nicely refurbished. Supplied with a UK V5C registration, current MoT certificate and aforementioned bills and photographs of the restoration, this example represents superb value. The prospective new owner will get the best of both worlds, stunning seventies supercar styling with performance figures that could embarrass many modern cars. “The Pantera has become an A-list celebrity and this one with a frame-off restoration and a brutal powerplant make the argument that Ferraris may be garage art, but Panteras are meant to be driven.”

1950 LAND ROVER SERIES I STATION WAGON COACHWORK BY TICKFORD
The outstanding success of the Maurice Wilks designed Land Rover saw the car being used by every sector of society. One could say the Land Rover was the first truly classless car, and remains so to this day. Enjoyed by King George VI on jaunts across the Balmoral and Sandringham estates, The Queen remains a loyal fan to this day, the Land Rover could then ferry a battalion of gun dogs and their beaters in the same manner. The Station Wagon was never a commercial success. In the first place, its coachbuilt body made it expensive to manufacture. Secondly, it was classified as a passenger-carrying vehicle on the home market and was therefore subject to Purchase Tax from which the basic Land Rover (classed as a commercial vehicle) was exempt. This inflated its price to unreasonable levels, a whopping £950.00 plus tax, ten times the average annual salary of £100.00 in 1950. As a result, just 650 were built in three years, and the model was withdrawn in the summer of 1951. It wasn’t until the launch of the Range Rover some twenty years later that the idea of a competent and relatively luxurious off-road vehicle could be seriously engineered and marketed. The Range Rover, the car that launched the SUV market borrowed a number of features from the Tickford, namely the split tailgate, a feature still seen on the current Range Rover today. Because of the low production numbers, this Tickford we have the honour of offering to market is very, very rare and certainly one of the last surviving road going examples, quite possibly numbered in single figures. Most Tickfords were destined for overseas markets

and this car, supplied new to Charles Hurst Ltd, of Belfast, was first registered in May 1950 and retains its original registration mark ‘MZ 9750’. On return to England, it had several owners in Cheshire before being acquired in October 1981 by well known Land Rover enthusiast Mr. D. M. Leather, and it was restored sympathetically in the 1980s. Purchased by the penultimate owner in 2003 who treated the Tickford to a programme of works between 2004 and 2006 that included a respray in the correct Bronze Green and mechanical works that totalled around £15,000. The Tickford joined our vendor’s sizeable Land Rover collection in September 2012. A true enthusiast, he grew up around Land Rovers with both his father and grandfather being Land Rover dealers, and the sale of the Tickford is a result of downsizing the collection due to our vendor’s advancing years. Presenting today in good overall condition, this sixty-six-year-old car would not be described as a ‘Show Queen’, but as a road going example it performs admirably, starting and running well. Retaining many original parts and fittings, the vendor believes the engine is also original which cannot be confirmed as Land Rover engine number records pre-1951 are incomplete. A Land Rover Heritage Certificate has been applied for and a copy will available to view should it arrive in time. Although largely immaterial in a car of this age, the odometer reads 51,493 at the time of consignment. To conclude, we believe that this car not only has the privilege of being one of the last true survivors of the first attempt to ‘civilise’ the Land Rover, but is an historically important motor car when considered as an early concept of what was to become the legendary Range Rover.

1999 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO SV
‘Generally speaking, being ‘last’ gets a bit of a bad press. Naturally there are exceptions to this, and I think that the last Lamborghini Diablo SV imported into the UK, the last Diablo SV off the production line in 1999, and, most importantly, the Last Lamborghini to leave Sant’Agata that Millenium, would certainly qualify as an exception. We are led to believe this car may be all of these, but until Lamborghini can confirm in writing that this is the case, we shall have to wait and see.
a face-lifted Diablo was launched, with a further hike in power output to 536bhp and 446 lb-ft of torque (aided by variable valve timing) with 0-60mph now an impressive 3.9 seconds and Kelsey-Hayes ABS was fitted as standard. There were a number of cosmetic changes to the interior and exterior, the most obvious of which was the replacement of the earlier pop-up headlamp units with fixed composite lenses and the new ergonomically improve dashboard.
In January 1990, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. introduced their latest mid-engined, high performance sports car, and in keeping with their tradition of naming their cars after legendary fighting bulls, chose a ferocious example raised by the Duke of Veragua in the 19th century known as “Diablo”.
This special Diablo SV left the factory on the 21st of December in 1999 immediately before they shut down for the Christmas break and their celebrations to mark the end of the Century. For the previous few months the Volkswagen Group had been in financial control of Lamborghini but the end of that year marked a turning point, and from the opening of 2000, Teutonic efficiency began to replace the magic of Italy in terms of the bloodline, style and general madness of Italian supercars.
Prior to its introduction, the sharp and dramatic lines of the Marcello Gandini design were somewhat softened by the pen of Tom Gale and his presentation of the car opened to rave reviews. The two door, rear wheel drive, mid-engined coupé was powered by a 5.7 litre, V12 and about 490 horses found their way to the tarmac through a 5-speed manual transmission, resulting in a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. The SV (super veloce) was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 1995 and among the more significant changes was an increase in power to 517bhp, an adjustable rear spoiler and better brake cooling. In 1999,

Now for sale through Silverstone Auctions, this wonderful Diablo is still very much original. The condition of the car is amazing for the year with no history of being damaged and although the paint has a few minor blemishes, as a result of its proximity to the road, they are hardly noticeable.

The interior shows normal wear and tear but is in very good overall condition and again is original apart from from the new Alpine multi-media system with SatNav, Ipod and Bluetooth connectivity which functions perfectly.

1991 PORSCHE 928 GT
With the 928, Porsche created a serious long distance grand touring car that was also at home on twisting B-roads thanks to super direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Porsche continuously developed the 928 throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987, which differed slightly from the earlier Series cars with its smoothed off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment and a 5-litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp. 1989 saw further development of the 928, with the launch of the GT model, featuring a more powerful 5.0-litre V8 capable of 326 bhp, but more importantly, the introduction of a 5-speed manual gearbox for those who wanted a more sporty driving experience. The model also feature twin exhaust, uprated camshafts and sports suspension -the ultimate 928 had arrived!

When Maurice Wilks, Rover’s chief designer, came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural utility vehicle in 1947 he would have no idea that his design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The original Land Rover was presented in sage green with a canvas roof and revolutionized rural transport. As an engineering marvel it can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, improvements were made throughout the production run. In 1950, the lights moved from a position behind the grill to protrude through the grill and in 1952 a larger 2.0 litre petrol engine replaced the original 1.6 litre. This Series 1 86 inch was first registered on 13/06/1955 in Southampton, Hampshire the car has been continuously maintained rather than restored during its life and remains in fine fettle.

1969 VW CHESIL 356 SPEEDSTER
Porsche’s first production car, the 356 was launched way back in 1948 and remained in production until 1965. Lightweight, nimble and exciting to drive, this iconic rear-engined air-cooled marvel began a cult that continues to this day, winning the hearts of generations of driving enthusiasts who revere the blend of speed, style and wayward engineering genius that is uniquely Porsche. Designed by Ferry Porsche and styled by Erwin Komenda, it began life with an air-cooled flat-four 1100cc Volkswagen engine producing just 40bhp and was effectively little more than a VW Beetle in a party frock. However, by a process of continual engineering refinement and improvement, it quickly grew into a world-class sports car and achieved success in such top events as Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio and Carrera Panamericana, as well as countless other races and rallies at local level. The 356 developed over the years and depending on the specification, provenance and perceived desirability they are on offer in today’s market at anything from £50k to £1m. Naturally, in much the same way as the AC Cobra and the D-Type Jaguar, these high prices have spawned an industry of small manufacturers building replicas to cater for the many people who would love to own a genuine 356 but simply can’t afford to. One of the most respected is Dorset based Chesil, a company who have built a reputation for providing one of the best 356 re-creations on the market. Available as a complete factory build, or as a homebuild kit, they can be tailored to the customer’s requirements using

The wheels are silver with chrome hub caps and the effect is enhanced by the optional luggage rack and period suitcase. Inside is pure nostalgia with a painted dashboard, chrome grab handle, aluminium gear knob and 3-spoke woodrim wheel. Registered as a 1969 Chesil, it benefits from free Road Tax and is accompanied by a large history file with old MoTs, the current MoT, bills for engine and gearbox rebuilds and some spare keys. Having spent some time as a passenger in a hugely expensive, genuine Shelby Cobra the most annoying and frequently asked question is “Which Kit-car is this?”. This is not going to happen in a Chesil Speedster, partly because not many people would recognise a 356 if they have ever seen one, but mainly because it just looks like a great way of enjoying a sunny day. This is a soundly engineered little sports car that seems so perfectly ‘Fifties’ and would look at home shopping in Stow-on-the-Wold or boulevarding gently down the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.

1999 HONDA NSX
The legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna. The NSX featured a state of the art 3.0-litre V6 ‘VTEC’ engine (variable valve timing) and an all-aluminium monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension. This made the car very light and extremely strong. Other game-changing features included 4 channel ABS brakes, titanium connecting rods in the engine and later in the model’s life - an electric power steering system as well as an upgrade to a 3.2-litre V6 engine. The car was the first real Japanese ‘Supercar’, proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. Production continued right up until 2005, with only subtle changes made throughout its life. This particular NSX is a 1999 right-hand drive, UK Supplied, 3.2Litre, 6-speed manual car with the desirable ‘pop-up’ headlights. We understand that it’s one of two 1999 cars painted in Imola Orange Pearl and as the other one is an automatic, then this is the only manual car disporting this dramatic shade.

Iso Rivolta was an automobile and motorbike manufacturer in Italy, predominantly active from the late 1940s through the early 1970s. They are known for the iconic Isetta ‘bubble car’ of the 1950s, and for a number of powerful performance cars in the 60s and early 70s. Since 1938, the Rivolta name has been synonymous with design excellence and beautiful styling, from the late 1940s and 1950s when Renzo Rivolta introduced stylish motor scooters and energy-efficient automobiles to post-war Italy, through to the production of the stunning sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s. In short, the Rivolta story blended American reliability with Italian design and international elegance. One can imagine Renzo Rivolta becoming tired of looking at fridges all day, returning to his office, staring out the window and dreaming of building the most beautiful cars in the world, and the Rivolta, Grifo, Fidia and Lele are the tangible results of this great man’s dreams. The IR300 (Rivolta), built between 1962 and 1970, was Iso’s first venture into the GT market and the cars were very impressive. A young Giorgetto Giugiaro created the bodywork and former Ferrari engineer, Giotti Bizzarrini, designed the chassis. It was a recipe that worked well and not dissimilar to the Gordon Keeble concept that was being developed in the UK at the time. The elegant Bertone-built steel body clothed a similar box-section frame with De Dion and Watts linkage rear suspension and double wishbones at the front. The Rivolta had an American V8, essentially a 5.4ltr Corvette engine, under the bonnet, giving it an impressive turn of speed. In fact, it was easily capable of more than 140mph and 0-60 in just over 8 seconds, outstanding for a well equipped 4-seater in the mid sixties. Subsequently the engine was developed further resulting in the IR340 and IR350 with 340 and 350bhp respectively.

The body looks to be in fundamentally good condition other than some superficial surface rust where it has been stored with stripped paintwork. There appears to be no deep rot at all and a skilled craftsman, comfortable with the art of lead loading, will be able to restore those complex folds back to their original shape. The sills, A-frames, lower doors, wheel arches etc all seem solid, as is the chassis. The Chevrolet V8 was running when removed and all parts are present and in reasonable condition. It sits on good ‘Grifo’ alloys rather than the original polished Borranis but these were an optional ‘retro-fit’ on later cars. These cars are sophisticated and elegant GTs and are now quite rare, a fact that has been reflected in the market recently. This car is eminently restorable, however, it is a major project and, in our opinion, needs to be a full ‘nut and bolt’ exercise and not a “Morris Minor at the weekend” refurb. It benefits from having a comparitively cheap engine but inevitably some parts will prove expensive and perhaps elusive, however it’s fairly safe to assume that anyone contemplating restoring this magnificent motor car will have done their sums. We would like to re-iterate that this car is being offered at No Reserve.
The Rivolta was good looking with its ‘shark nose’ and airy cabin, powerful, reliable, and every inch the stylish, long-legged, Italian GT.

1962 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES I 3.8 FHC
Introduced in May 1961, the Jaguar E-type 3.8 FHC was a sensation with classic good looks and performance unrivalled at the price. Often heralded as the most beautiful car of all time Jaguar, not surprisingly, made no significant changes until the introduction of the 4.2 engine in October 1964. Additionally, they incorporated an all-synchromesh gearbox, increased legroom and better torque from the new capacity engine. This resulted in the best driving E-type and now a Grand Tourer to match the best being produced by its rivals. The E-type still continued to hammer the opposition on pricing. A Jaguar Heritage certificate show this particular Series I 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe was manufactured on 18th January 1962 and was destined for the US market in left-hand drive form and delivered to its first owner by Jaguar Cars New York in Carmen Red with a Black leather interior. The coveted ‘flat-floor’ model E-Types finished their left-hand drive production run with chassis #885504, making this car intriguing as it was manufactured only 3 cars later, being chassis #885507, and probably on the same day as the body type change. This could mean that it’s one of the earliest ‘non flat-floor’ cars to roll off the production line. First registered in the UK on 1st August 1984 but later changing registration numbers to the current ‘WVS 980’, this car was sold to a Mr D. Adams of Hertford in 2005 by the respected specialists, The E-Type Centre, who at the time carried out the necessary work and converted the car to right-hand drive. At the same time, a Luminition electronic ignition system was fitted, along with a Kenlowe fan to

improve cooling. Later in 2005, further improvements were made to the car with the addition of Coopercraft front and rear brake callipers, an uprated fuel pump, new rear subframe mounts and a professional respray. The next traceable owner was a Mr Snow of Derby, who in July 2011 sent ‘WVS 980’ to classic Jaguar specialist, Michael Cannon of Derby for a full checkup. At that time the engine mounts were replaced, new exhaust manifolds were fitted on both sides, the braking system was given a full overhaul, the carburettors were cleaned, reset & tuned and some wiring was replaced where necessary. An invoice totalling £11,000 for this work is included in the history file. In April ‘12, the car was again taken to Michael Cannon where it was fitted with a new Elite Racing Transmissions Tremec 5-speed gearbox. A serial E-type owner for almost 40 years, our vendor purchased chassis #885507 in 2013 continuing his enthusiasm for the model. This car has been enjoyed in his ownership, covering around 1,000 miles over the last three years, however other projects now take precedence and this car is available for sale. Supplied with an MoT until 7th June 2016, a UK V5c and a folder of invoices, this is a ‘cracking’ E-Type awaiting a new owner.

1988 MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SL AUTOMATIC
Some cars just get better looking with age and the W107 Series Mercedes-Benz SL is definitely among them. Overshadowed for a long time by its graceful ‘Pagoda’ predecessor, it’s now becoming better appreciated for what it is - a beautifully built sports roadster that is totally dependable. To this day, no car door closes with a more reassuring ‘thunk’ than a Mercedes SL, and everything about the car suggests solid engineering. Fast, comfortable and discreetly understated, the SL has a matchless ability to munch up the miles for year after year without ever seeming to falter. No wonder it stayed in production, fundamentally unaltered, from 1971 until 1989 - the longest production run of any Mercedes car to date. Launched in 1985, and remaining in production until 1989, the 300SL is often considered to be the pick of the SL range, falling mid-way between the 2.8-litre and 5-litre V8 models. It was powered by a creamy-smooth 3-litre straight six that employed a new KE Jetronic fuel injection system linked to a modern engine management computer that not only achieved better fuel economy than the 280 it replaced, but offered more power as well. When this ‘state of the art’ modern engine was mated to the improved 4-speed gearbox it became a very effective package and epitomised intelligent Teutonic engineering.

The official figures were 185bhp and 188lb/ft of torque, sufficient to propel the car to 60mph in just 9.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 130mph. Almost as quick as the larger V8 models, it was not only more frugal but also handled better thanks to improved weight distribution. The automatic 300SL offered here today was first registered on the 1st of August 1988 and has been enjoyed by eight owners since. Finished in Arctic White with a matching hardtop and cloth interior, the indicated mileage is around 146,000 and the vehicle is accompanied by its V5, a number of old MoTs (most recent 20/06/2014) and its Maintenance Booklet stamped up until October 2013. Whilst in generally good condition, this lovely white SL will need recommissioning before being returned to the road. We are advised that both sills will need replacing and further work will be required before an MoT will be granted, however these cars were properly built and an ideal basis for a bit of a refurb. With asking prices for eighties SL convertibles in fine fettle up around £15,000, the guide price for the car you see here could make it an ideal project for the trade or an SL enthusiast.

1988 FERRARI MONDIAL 3.2
The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina as its choice of styling house, and it was sold as a mid-sized coupé and, eventually, a cabriolet. Conceived as a ‘more usable’ model, offering the practicality of four seats with the performance of a mid-range Ferrari and hopefully attracting a slightly wider audience than their traditionally more focused two-seaters. The car’s body was not built as a monocoque in the conventional way, but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena and clothed a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/ gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it had been on earlier models.
The service intervals are as follows:
Like the new 328 GTB, the Mondial’s engine grew in both bore and stroke to 3.2 Litres for 1985, and its output was now 280bhp. Available in both Coupé and Cabriolet forms, the look was refreshed with bodycoloured bumpers, similar to the 328 with more integrated indicators and driving lamps, and a set of restyled wheels. The 3.2 also boasted a major interior update with a more ergonomic layout and a more rounded instrument binnacle.

The Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced in 1950 as a multi-variant utility vehicle, known as the Transporter (basic panel-van), Kombi (basic dual-purpose freight/passenger vehicle) and Microbus (luxurious passenger vehicle). 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 splitscreens from 1950 until 1967. Among enthusiasts, it is common to refer to the different models by the number of their windows. The Kombi and Microbus are the 11-window with a split windshield, two front cabin door windows, six rear side windows, and one rear window. Presented here is a LHD 1959 VW Type 2 (T1) 11-window split-screen van which started life in the USA as an 8-seater Microbus (mod. 221). This is confirmed by the corresponding VW ‘M-code’ (i.e. original specification code) which can be taken from the specification plate (which is still in situ). It also tells us that it was produced on the 12th March 1959 and was supposedly destined for Boston. This M-code also correlates to a correct chassis number (present on the V5C). Originally supplied in Seagull Grey (upper) over Mango Green (lower) - it still sports this great combination today. Imported from the US to the UK in 1974, this VW has lead somewhat of a cherished life. It has been professionally converted into a camper-van with a fully bespoke interior. As a Microbus originally, it would have been well-appointed (with interior & kick panels plus a headlining) and not designed or intended to carry freight. It would have a lead relatively easier life than a similar Kombi van of the same era, making it a good basis for a camper.

This special engine is mated to an Americanbuilt performance gearbox. The driving improvements also include the reassurance of independent rear suspension plus rack & pinion steering (supplied by Creative Engineering), servo-assisted disc brakes all-round and Porsche 356 wheels. New windows were fitted (Creative Engineering- £1200) as were a ‘Firetec’ auto suppression system and a Fairbanks & Craven alloy fuel tank. The interior has been finished to a very high standard, whilst retaining period features such as the dashboard and steering wheel. The camping side of things includes a bespoke interior finished in Ash veneer (including a double bed, wardrobe and storage cupboards). The electrical features include a completely new 12v wiring system with leisure battery and main hook-up, USB outlets, a Waeco CF35 (£450) fridge and a quality music system with remote control. This unique camper van comes with a file of invoices and paperwork documenting its maintenance and upgrades. The chassis is said to be in fine condition and free from rot or rust. This genuine split-screen bus is in fabulous condition and strikes 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!
This camper has obviously been much cared for and maintained over the years. Our vendor and previous owners have sought to make subtle but sensible improvements to the usability of this 57 year old vehicle.

2011 PORSCHE GT3 RS 4.0 (997)
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was launched in 2011, and was the final development of the track-inspired series of 997 GT3 RS models. Only 600 examples were made and it was the last hurrah for the motorsport-derived Mezger flat-six that was bored out from 3.8 to 4.0 litres, the largest displacement 911 engine ever. The normally aspirated power plant was crucially mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and achieved 494bhp at 8,250rpm. The 4.0 RS is considered by many to be one of the greatest drivers’ cars of all time and according to EVO Magazine when the car was released: “It is the ultimate 911, and you could easily argue it’s all the car you’ll ever need. It will become an icon.”
eligible for Porsche Extended warranty. As such we can deem that this car has not been excessively driven.
First delivered and registered in Germany, this RS 4.0 is finished in Carrera White with contrasting Carrera GT Silver wheels and is trimmed in Black leather and Red Alcantara, complementing the exterior perfectly and resulting in a stunning and eminently desirable 911.
Sound package +.
The car has spent its entire life in Germany up until recently when it was imported into Monaco and is now indicating a modest 11,600kms (7,250mls). It has a full service history, most recently in October 2015 and very reassuringly, a two-year Porsche approved warranty which has only just commenced in November 2015. Presented with invoices including the dealers bill of sale, this car is in superb original condition. The ‘over revs’ have also been tested and the results are extremely satisfactory with over revs in “Range 1” only. For those unsure of what this means, the Rev Range is measured from 1 to 6, Range 1 being just below the rev limiter, Range 2 is on the rev limiter with Ranges 3-6 being over the rev limiter, e.g if the car has been downshifted and mechanically over revved. Revs recorded in ranges 3 and 4 are considered by Porsche to be safe with such vehicles still

1955 LAND ROVER SERIES I
When Maurice Wilks, Rover’s chief designer, came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural utility vehicle in 1947 he would have no idea that his design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The original Land Rover was presented in sage green with a canvas roof and revolutionised rural transport. As an engineering marvel it can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, improvements were made throughout the production run. In 1950 the lights moved from a position behind the grill to protrude through the grill and in 1952 a larger 2.0 litre petrol engine replaced the original 1.6 litre. This delightful ‘shabby chic’ Series 1 Land Rover, has an aristocratic history having been purchased by the Rothschild family as a gift for Romulus Christie the grandson of Sir George Christie the founder of the ‘Glyndebourne Festival’ at Glyndebourne Manor where, until very recently, the car resided.

1979 FORD ESCORT RS 2000 CUSTOM
The RS (Rallye Sport) identity has been an important part of Ford’s sporting image for a long time. Over the years, the Rallye Sport name has been applied to 19 spectacular road car models, which often proved their point by winning in races, rallies, in rallycross - and in the marketplace. The ‘RS’ badge has never been applied lightly, for each and every model and derivative has offered outstanding performance, roadholding, vehicle safety and value for money. RS-badged Fords have always shared a proud sporting tradition and have been built in many different forms. The Ford Escort RS 2000 was a huge success both in competition format and as the ‘executive express’ of its time. The RS2000 on offer today was built in 1979 and has had 6 former keepers from new, the last since 1988. Finished in black with black interior, this genuine Custom was restored over a 4-year period and was rebuilt to largely original specification. The shell was completely stripped, rebuilt to factory specification and required no welding as the car had been Ziebart treated at the factory. The suspension and brakes were all fully restored and the drive train had the following completed: New cam belt fitted, new water pump, new exhaust system including manifold, new rocker cover gasket, full carb rebuild, valve clearances adjusted, timing and fuel mixture optimised, rebuilt type 9 five-speed gearbox fitted and all oils replaced. The fishnet seats were stripped and re-trimmed in the correct Beta cloth and all original carpets were removed, cleaned and re-fitted.

Following the restoration, this highly sorted RS was featured as part of Pistonheads’ ‘PH Heros’ by Dale Lomas in March 2015, and he certainly enjoyed his time with DPR 155T. “There’s a temptation to offer a direct comparison to an E30 M3 or maybe a first-generation MX-5. But even those two differing examples of simple RWD fun can’t quite match the wobbly hilarities and irresponsible sense of danger pedalling the Escort hard down a country lane... This particular example isn’t just rust-free and shiny, it’s also had more than its original purchase price spent on servicing in the last year alone.” Supplied with a photographic record of the rebuild, V5C and fresh MoT, this is one of the nicest RS2000s we have seen for quite some time. Though not 100% original, it has been rebuilt with driving in mind and the driving experience is better for it.

Willy Koenig started independent tuning operations in 1974 with the first Ferrari 365 BB supplied to Germany. A racing driver of some note in his own right, Willy was friendly amongst the paddock which in turn allowed him to establish intimate links with the professional racing teams, engineers, designers, and development and manufacturing companies. Right from the start, the philosophy of KOENIG-SPECIALS has been to build the ultimate in sports cars for the road, a synthesis of aerodynamics and design, with exclusive individual interior fittings and optimum driving characteristics, thanks to improved chassis, competition brakes, wide rims and tyres, sports exhaust systems, engine performance values, and, at the customer’s request, with turbo, supercharger, or high-performance engines. The Koenig treatment was not famously inexpensive and as such appealed largely to those in the ‘have everything’ category, however, as the 80s drew to a close and that era of notable excess waned, many Koenig Specials disappeared into private collections and their whereabouts became unknown. It is now increasingly rare for cars such as this to be brought to the market, and consequently, shouldn’t be ignored. This left-hand drive Testarossa was first delivered to Germany and has travelled a, believed to be genuine, equivalent of just 29,000 miles. It sports the timeless colour combination of Rosso Corsa paintwork, with a, largely Nero interior albeit the specialist Recaro race seats with stitched Ferrari emblem dominate the cabin and are finished in red and black trim facing the tactile Alcantara steering wheel.

Despite some early Vittorio Strosek drawings of a Bi-Turbo Koenig Testarossa fitted with the 512M style transparent headlights, the car offered today thankfully retains the original pop-up headlights we’ve come to admire on the original design. This is a twin mirror example with a slim front-mounted chin spoiler and a surprisingly stylish equally slim rear-deck spoiler, which arguably all TRs could have benefited from. The rear profile, being the one that most other road users will be likely to see, is largely unchanged from the standard road cars with twin exhaust pipes being visible, and the model’s famous slatted rear panel still present, albeit there is duel badging with both ‘Pininfarina Testarossa’ and ‘Koenig Specials’ represented. Fortunately, enough of the original Pininfarina design remains for this to easily be recognised as a Testarossa even though it’s wearing a dramatic party frock. High drama continues with the specially designed Koenig-BBS alloy wheels, studded, and centred with Ferrari logos, which we understand are BBS racing wheels modified for road use. Offered ready for registration in any destination country, this Ferrari Testarossa is a soundly engineered ‘supercar’ and a real ‘in-your-face’ example of automotive sculpture. Koenig cars weren’t produced for the masses and this is not a car for a ‘shrinking violet’, so if you are in the market for a seriously quick piece of Germano-Italian exotica with filmstar looks, and don’t mind being the most recognised person in town, then this car may well hit the spot.

“The car you always promised yourself” was the advertising slogan used by Ford at the launch of their new Capri in 1969, and that may well have been true for lots of people, but if you were keen on ‘sporting motoring’, then the Capri 1300L was unlikely to have been on the letter you wrote to Santa Claus. However as the model range expanded and larger and larger engines became available, the Capri began to be recognised as a decent performance car. Ford were, and still are, experts in using their Motor Sport involvement to keep their showroom doors creaking, particularly so in the 1970s, and soon an RS 2600 Capri was commissioned and built to compete in the European Touring Car Championship, initially with considerable success. However, BMW had bigger ideas and introduced the more powerful 3.0CSL, rapidly stealing a march on Ford at the circuits. In response, Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations got the go ahead in September 1973, to build a batch of 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, developed by Cosworth, and when fuelled through a Weber 38DGAS, produced 148bhp and 187lb ft of torque. The gearbox was a standard Granada unit with an Atlas diff and this combination, when fitted to the road car resulted in 0 to 60 in 7.3 secs and a top speed of 125mph. The suspension was modified with stiffer front springs and competition rear springs and Bilstein Gas Dampers were fitted all round. Slightly flared arches, twin tail pipes, RS four-spoke alloys, a shallow front splitter and an enormous rear wing completed the look. The interior was pure 3000GXL with a flat 2-spoke steering wheel. The RS3100 was offered in a number

We now know that 248 were built, however in the middle of a world recession sales were slow and Ford wanted the space for the Capri II, so production was ended and the last 50 of the unsold cars were sent to Australia. The fabulous RS3100 here, is finished in Sebring Red and was assembled in late ‘73 and registered in February 1974.The indicated mileage is 85,000 which is believed to be genuine but can only be verified back to May 1985 when the mileage was 75,156 according to the MoT certificate from that date. There are 13 subsequent MoTs kept safe by the last two owners, and the gentleman prior to our vendor, who owned the car from 1987 to 2012 obviously cherished it as he showed it extensively. Restored some years ago and returned to factory spec (it even has a Ford exhaust system), our vendor has used the car lightly and kept it in a ‘Carcoon’. The current MoT (with no advisories) is in the paperwork file as are a number of old log books, MoTs, Tax Discs and information on previous owners. Occasionally a car comes along that does not require a description of its condition and this piece of Ford history is one such. Look at the photographs and look at the car and you will see that this is a ‘show car’, truly excellent. There weren’t many RS3100s to start with, undoubtedly fewer now, and with ‘Fast Fords’ currently much in favour, this very rare RS will be welcome anywhere.

1959 JAGUAR XK150 3.4 SE FIXEDHEAD COUPE
The XK120 was launched in 1948 and was an international sensation immediately, finally putting Jaguar on the world stage, and good results for XKs in motor racing and international rallying were instrumental in beginning a hugely successful period for the company. The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK range, appearing in May 1957, and was a more refined and capable machine than its predecessors. Easily distinguishable from the 140 by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space, the 150 however, retained much of the mechanical layout of the earlier car sharing the same 3.4-litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, developing 180bhp at 5750rpm. “The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world’s fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable... we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money,” concluded The Autocar.

Some of the most easily recognised motorsport pictures are of Jim Clark and Sir John Whitmore cornering on three wheels in early Lotus Cortinas, or drifting them, revelling in the cars’ composure and handling predictability. It may have been based on the entry-level Cortina, but with more power, much-improved suspension and better brakes, the Lotus Cortina is one classic you can really take by the scruff of the neck and have enormous fun with. The Lotus Cortina came into being because of Ford’s decision to step up their motorsport involvement in the early 1960s. Ford’s Walter Hayes spoke to Colin Chapman, asking him to come up with a competitive saloon, using the Cortina as a base, that could be produced in sufficient numbers to satisfy the homologation requirements, and with which the Blue Oval could beat all comers. The solution was to take Ford’s bulletproof 1500 Kent engine and fit a twin-cam cylinder head, pop it into a stiffened Cortina shell, sort out the suspension and brakes and paint a green stripe down the side. The cars would be built by Lotus at its plant in Cheshunt, and marketed as the Lotus Cortina. Sure enough, these cars went on to dominate saloon car racing and rallying, both here and abroad in the hands of Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Sir John Whitmore, Jack Sears, Vic Elford and Roger Clark all notching up one victory after another.

1974 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CONVERTIBLE
Registration: 64MRR Chassis Number: 1542725711 Engine Number: A5140861 No Reserve
The story of the Beetle is well known; it was initially designed to provide cheap transport for the hard working German masses. Built in very small numbers before and during World War II, the Beetle literally rose from the ashes of Volkswagen’s bombed-out Wolfsburg factory to become an instant success in Europe, Britain, America and virtually every other country in the world. The model evolved through various facelifts and numerous mechanical changes - there were more than 70,000 identifiable modifications - and it provided a platform for other models, including commercial vehicles and sporting derivatives such as those by Karmann-Ghia. It was this constant development and attention to detail which allowed the Beetle to maintain its position, and as production raced past the 15,000,000 mark, the Beetle went on to be crowned ‘The Best Selling’ car of all time. This charming Volkswagen Beetle Convertible has been owned by our vendor since 1991. The car was restored by a respected VW specialist in 1992 and was then sympathetically driven for 8 years. Between 2000 and 2016, the car has been in storage and it now requires restoration. Offered without reserve, this Beetle features a very rare semi-automatic gearbox, immobiliser and the engine is reported to turn over. Presented in black with cream interior, we feel this right-hand drive convertible would make an ideal project for the VW enthusiast, as a blank canvas for their dream Beetle. We encourage all prospective bidders to come and inspect the car in the flesh at the auction. Buyers should be aware that the number plate 64MRR is included with the sale of this vehicle and the car is sold strictly as seen.

The Ford Thunderbird began life in February 1953 in direct response to Chevrolet’s new sports car, the Corvette, which had been publicly unveiled in prototype form just a month before. Under rapid development, the Thunderbird went from idea to prototype in about a year, being unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954. Although the initial Thunderbird had been considered a success, Ford executives felt that the car’s position as a two-seater restricted its sales potential, and as a result, the car was re-designed as a four-seater for 1958. It was offered in both hardtop and convertible body styles, although the latter was not introduced until June 1958, five months after the release of the hardtop. With 37,892 sold in 1958, outselling the previous model year by well over 16,000 units, the new Thunderbird began a sales momentum previously unseen. It also made history by becoming the first individual model line (as opposed to an entire company) to earn Motor Trend “Car of the Year” honours. With little more than a new grill and a newly optional, 350 horsepower 5.8 litre V8 for 1959, sales climbed even higher to 67,456.

1985 ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA
The Aston Martin Lagonda was a luxury four-door saloon built by Aston Martin of Newport Pagnell, between 1976 and 1989. A total of 645 examples were produced at an average selling price of £150,000, and the name was derived from the Lagonda marque that Aston Martin had purchased in 1947. Aston Martin was facing severe financial pressure in the mid-1970s following the petrol crisis and the Lagonda was aimed predominantly at the US and Middle Eastern markets.
This left-hand drive example was completed by the factory on 31st December 1985 and was specially built for the 1986 New York Motor Show. It was displayed on the Aston Martin stand and sold to a Mr J. Schnepf of Newport Beach, California. He took delivery on 16th February 1987, and covered limited mileage during his ownership before it was imported to the Netherlands and registered there just prior to our vendor’s purchase.
Traditionally, Aston Martin had created two door sports cars but the Lagonda was a four-door saloon utilizing the 5430cc, Tadek Merak designed V8 engine that powered the current Aston Martin V8 models. As soon as it was introduced, its dramatic looks attracted hundreds of deposits from potential customers and in so doing, helped Aston Martin’s finances. The car was designed by William Towns in an extreme interpretation of the classic 1970’s “folded paper” style. It was as unconventional a design then as it is now, and even today car enthusiasts are fiercely divided on the car’s aesthetic value. Throughout the history of the marque, these hand-built Lagondas were amongst the most expensive saloons in the world. The only other “production” cars to approach its lofty price tag were from the stables of Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
The car had been in dry storage for approximately three years and had been subject to the removal of some ignition components. The car was taken to Desmond J Smail’s, one of the UK’s premier Aston Martin approved specialists, where it was subject to a comprehensive recommissioning and all items needing attention following its period of rest were attended to. This included: a new fuel pump, injectors, engine sensors, brake master cylinder etc, a copy of the bill of works is available on request. The car is now running and driving as it should and will be supplied with a current MoT certificate ready for UK registration. Desmond Smail and his team are acknowledged experts in these rather complex vehicles and he is able to provide a full condition report to prospective bidders.
The Lagonda was the first production car in the world to use computer management, a digital instrument panel and second series cathode ray tubes for the instrumentation. It combined striking styling with an opulent, ‘members club’ leather interior, and with its state-ofthe-art instrument panel was a veritable spaceship. Coupled to a Chrysler 3-speed “TorqueFlite” automatic transmission, its quad cam carbureted V8 could provide massive linear thrust when required. The later Series 3 and all Series 4 models were fuel injected.

Planned in Sweden, designed in Italy, unveiled at the Brussels motorshow, built in Britain and a huge success in the USA. The Volvo P1800 is perhaps Volvo’s most internationally renowned model ever, and the one that arouses most emotions. The P1800 is a two-door, frontengine, rear-drive sports car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars as a coupé (1961-73) and later as a shooting-brake (1972-73). The car presented here is a UK RHD 1971 P1800 E and is a very special example indeed. Purchased new by hotelier George Archibald T Brown on 23rd February 1971 from The Bedford Garage (Simca & Volvo Dealers) in Exeter, it was then sold to our vendor in 1990. He has owned the car ever since, for some 26 years, and to say it has been his pride & joy is a real understatement. Being just the second owner of this 45 year old car, he has systematically restored and maintained it during his long and devoted ownership. The car has done 53,323 documented miles. The car has never been denied anything, and following its most recent period of restoration during the last 4 years, it was worthy of a six page spread in Classics Monthly (August 2015 issue 232) and featured on the cover of the club magazine. As you’d expect, all this work is meticulously documented, photographed and recorded. The car comes with a fully re-built blue-printed engine, a re-built gearbox with overdrive, new clutch, refurbished/balanced prop-shaft & differential, completely new running gear, wheel bearings, shockabsorbers, springs, suspension linkage arms, new fuel injection and braking systems and new exhaust.

1976 FERRARI 365 GT4 BERLINETTA BOXER
Launched at the Turin Auto Show in 1971, the 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer was aimed squarely at the potential buyers of Lamborghini’s Miura and Maserati’s Bora. It was Ferrari’s first road car with a mid-mounted flat 12-cylinder, and was most controversial as the model that indicated that Enzo Ferrari had finally backed down in terms of his legendary insistence that they would continue building front-engined cars. At its Turin debut, the 365BB was pitched directly at the Lamborghini Miura, however as things turned out, it was the Muira’s unexpected successor, the Countach, that became its showroom rival. Although absolutely stunning, Bertone’s Countach design ignored one or two necessary practicalities, making the more approachable Boxer the sensible choice. The Pininfarina-penned and Scaglietti-built 365 BB however, managed, despite its now classic seventies wedge shape, to still be a usable supercar. Equally impressive was the Formula One inspired flat-12 ‘boxer’ engine, which was shallow enough to house the gearbox underneath the block whilst still maintaining a low centre of gravity, allowing for a short wheelbase and overall a smaller, more nimble car.

Other records indicate that the car was later owned by a Mr Graeme Rapier, in Australia. The odometer currently reads 730 kilometres. Since being in the UK, the car has been in the care of renowned Ferrari specialists Foskers, who had it fully resprayed in the correct Rosso Chiaro and have detailed the Nero leather interior.The engine was fully serviced, new cambelts fitted and the brakes received appropriate attention, and the car was prepared to be returned to the road. The account for all this work totalled in excess of £25,000. Accompanying the car is an owner’s handbook, tyre roll and tool kit in a fitted attaché case. Currently on a NOVA number with UK taxes settled, the new owner will need to register the car with the DVLA.
Contemporary road tests praised the 365 BB as being the fastest Ferrari yet, high praise indeed for a car the ‘boss’ was initially reluctant to engineer. Despite the complimentary press, Enzo was also reluctant to officially export the car to North America, thinking the market would fail to understand it and that regulations would dampen the 365 BB’s lively nature. Therefore, just 387 of these, now-revered, models were built over a three-year period between 1973 and 1976, and just 86 right hand drive examples were produced in total. Succeeded by the heavier, less powerful and more portly 512 BB, the 365 BB remains the connoisseur’s choice with recent price expectation in the retail arena seemingly confirming this fact.

When E.C. Seagar created his famous cartoon character “Popeye” in 1936, and surrounded him with a cast of characters, one of whom was called “Eugene the Jeep”, he could never have imagined that the term “Jeep” would be in common use, world wide, some eight decades later. Eugene the Jeep was Popeye’s “jungle pet” and was “small, able to move between dimensions and could solve seemingly impossible problems”, characteristics shared by the General Purpose (GP) vehicle issued to American combat soldiers fighting on the front lines in wartorn Europe. Having been brought up on a diet of Popeye cartoons, it was not surprising that this tough little vehicle, which would frequently get them out of some real “scrapes”, became affectionately know as a Jeep.
grille style. 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.
Impressively the time taken from conception and tenders being sent out, to the production lines starting to roll, was less than two hundred days, amazing for a vehicle that has stood the test of time and become an unlikely motoring icon. This ability to get things done quickly and well, was the deciding factor in America being asked to produce military hardware in vast numbers and build hundreds of ships, arguably influencing the outcome of the Second World War.
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 such as Goodwood all clamouring for 1940’s Jeeps, this stunningly well-restored example will be sure to keep you busy all summer.
This beautiful Jeep was built on 21st October 1942 and imported into the UK last year, having been fastidiously restored over a two-year period by the last owner. This piece of military history is supplied with numerous pictures of the restoration, a UK V5C registration document and previous registration paperwork. Nearly every nut and bolt received attention and the detail is fantastic, even down to the period tools and jerrycan attached to the vehicle.

The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was introduced in 1976 as the successor to the rather larger 365 GT 2+2. With its much sleeker looks the Ferrari 365, also designed by Pininfarina, remained in production with very few styling changes until 1989 and proved to be a great success for the company. The 412 was introduced in 1985 and this was technically a much improved and modernised version of the classic design, whilst still retaining a timeless and most elegant shape. With a displacement of nearly 5 litres, the V12 engine now produced a healthy 340 hp and ABS was available for the first time in a Ferrari.

1959 FACEL VEGA HK500
Founded by Jean Daninos in 1939, Forges et Ateliers de Construction d’Eure-et-Loir (FACEL) originally specialised in the production of aircraft materials before the outbreak of war in 1939. After World War II, Facel distributed car bodies to Panhard, Simca and Ford France. It would not be until 1954 that Facel began to manufacture its own vehicle, the Facel Vega FV, which was unveiled at the Paris Salon in 1954. Crippling legislation immediately after the war made it virtually impossible for luxurious cars to be manufactured in France, but despite this, Jean Daninos was passionate about reigniting the romance of lavishly glamorous French motoring. With no post-war European power unit available that would suitably complement the magnificent luxurious interior and exterior of his new creation, Daninos turned to the 276 cubic inch (4.5 litre) De Soto Firedome V-8. This was a dependable engine, with a 7.5:1 compression ratio and pushrodoperated overhead valves, pushing out 170 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and capable of propelling this imposing piece of French architecture to a top speed of 130mph. Despite the staggering $7,000 asking price at launch, buyers were still flocking to take ownership of Daninos beautiful creation. The media were hugely excited with Facel’s latest sports coupé. A Mechanix Illustrated magazine tester, Tom McCahill, said the HK500 was, “Sexier than the Place Pigalle and throatier than a Russian basso; A sporting piece of equipment that looks like money, which is exactly what it costs ($9,795 new). A car to be appreciated as a remarkable and wonderfully satisfying road companion”. Adored for its charm and style, the Facel Vega HK500 captivated the hearts of the masses, with numerous celebrities such as Dean Martin and Ava Gardner taking ownership of this pinnacle of French elegance.

The chassis was designed by Lance Macklin, a tubular frame featuring independent front suspension coils and wishbones; whilst at the rear, a live axle is held in place by longitudinal semi-elliptic springs. With over 350bhp available from the roaring Chrysler V-8, the HK500 was one of the fastest cars of its day. This UK-supplied HK500 HK1 was delivered new to Westcote Manor, the Oxfordshire pile of Captain Hesketh Raoul (Liony) Millais, noted equestrian, portrait artist, keen sportsman and son of Johnny Millais, noted explorer, artist and landscape gardener. Though it left the factory in a gleaming Peony Red, ‘Liony’ had the car relacquered in Silver grey prior to receiving it on May 5th, 1960. This car has a lovely specification featuring power assisted disc brakes, 3-speed Torqueflight automatic gearbox, power steering, and electric windows. This is a unique barn find having been out or circulation in the UK for some 35 years prior to being acquired by its current owner last year. It has been stored sympathetically and is in highly original and relatively complete order. The interior is all there and the bodywork is in need of restoration. We encourage all buyers to inspect this vehicle in person. It is noted that at some point the wheel housings have been relieved and a modern Moto Lita steering wheel added but these modifications can be easily reversed. A very important right-hand drive supercar with real provenance, this Facel would benefit greatly from a ‘concours’ restoration. Sold strictly as seen, this car deserves to be brought back to life and applauded for what it is, a brave creation in the face of adversity and a wonderful piece of French automobile history.

1968 FORD MUSTANG 390 GT S CODE NOTCHBACK
The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid 1960s 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 that they wanted to drive cars that were anything like the ones their parents owned.
simplification of the quarter panel ornament, and many safety features were added. Due to increasing governmental regulations, the 1968 Mustang now included front and rear side marker lights, folding, flush mounted interior door pulls, and an energy absorbing steering column. Total production for 1968 was 317,404 units.
This dramatic new model, 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, so it made sense to use the Falcon as it was their smallest model at the time and its floor pan and drivetrain had only recently been designed saving considerably on ‘tooling’ costs.
Our Mustang here is one of those 1968 cars, and is a left-hand-drive, Dearborn built, ‘S’ code, 390, 2-door hardtop (Notchback) assembled on July23rd and finished in Acapulco Blue with Blue Vinyl bucket seats. Supplied by the Quality Motor Company of Whiteville, North Carolina it was ordered with C-6 Automatic transmission, an Electric Clock, Power Disc Brakes, Power Steering, Tinted Glass, AM/FM Radio and a Louvered Bonnet.
Initially offered as either a ‘Notchback’ Coupé or a Convertible with the ‘Fastback’ appearing later. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon but compared to the saloon the cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front and shorter rear end design, and both its roof and bonnet were also lower in comparison. Those proportions somehow just worked, and with a full complement of new styling details such as the galloping horse in the grille, the cut-away side sections, the 3-section rear lights and that ‘shark-nose front profile, everyone wanted one and within the first 18 months over one million people had bought one. The 1968 Mustang was little changed from its 1967 counterpart. Most of the changes were in subtle refinements to the interior and exterior. New options for the ‘68 model included an AM/FM stereo radio, rear window demist (coupé and fastback only), re-designed front power disc brakes, and the all new 302 ci engine. The 302-4V, 230 horsepower engine replaced the 289 Challenger Special of previous years. By December of 1967, the 289 engine was replaced entirely by the 302 version. Other changes included the deletion of the horizontal grille bars, the deletion of the F-O-R-D letters at the front of the hood,

After its import to the UK it was subject to a total ‘nut and bolt’ restoration. There are over six dozen photographs of this work being carried out, and whilst we do not have the details of exactly what was done, from the photos it looks like every nut, bolt, clip, hose, bush and bracket has either been repaired, refurbed or renewed. I guess its the sort of restoration you would carry out if you had just won the lottery! There is a later (July 2015) invoice in the file, from American Automatics to recondition the C6 transmission and supply a new Torque Converter. In addition to the dozens of photos, the history file also contains some old American titles, a ‘Marti’ report dated 2015, the original dash chassis plate, the owners manual, a Holley Carburettor manual and the current MoT indicating that the mileage on 08/05/2015 was 41,978.

1984 FIAT BERTONE X1/9 1500 VS
The Fiat X1/9 is a two-seater mid-engined sports car designed by Bertone and manufactured by Fiat from 1972-1982 and subsequently by Bertone from 1982-1989. With a transverse engine and gearbox in a mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive configuration, the X1/9 was noted for its excellent handling, lightweight-removable hardtop and front and rear-storage compartments. Unusually the X1/9 retained its factory design code as its marketing name. Offered here is a beautiful, original and rare 1984 1500cc Fiat X1/9 VS (Versione Special) with a 5-speed box and finished in Rosso Red over Grigio Scuro Metallic with a black leather interior. The VS differed mainly cosmetically as it was fitted with leather seats, different alloys and wore an attractive, two-tone colour scheme. This car has covered only 19,400 miles from new and comes with a comprehensive history file documenting its timeline. Supplied new by Cloverleaf Cars Ltd. of Basingstoke in May 1984, it still carries the factory stickers and Cloverleaf’s own screen sticker and tax disc holder. The extras ordered at the time included Blaupunkt’s Hamburg push button radio and Fiats CrylaGard body protection. Cromodora CD -179 alloy wheels completed the look.

1957 LAND ROVER SERIES I 107 INCH STATION WAGON
The original Land Rover with its 80-inch chassis was a roaring success, as we all know. Demand from landowners, adventurers and the armed forces of the world grew however for a capable off-roader with seating for more than six. This demand in 1956 saw the introduction of the first five-door model, on the 107-inch chassis known as the “Station Wagon” with seating for up to ten people. The 86-inch model was a three-door, seven-seater. The new station wagons were very different from the previous Tickford model, being built with simple metal panels and bolt-together construction instead of the complex wooden structure of the older Station Wagon. Like the Tickford version, they came with basic interior trim and equipment such as roof vents and interior lights. By the time this model was ready for production in 1956, the basic 107 inch chassis was about to be superseded by the 109-inch version. The ‘107 inch Station Wagon’ was announced with that name in June 1956, just three months before the other 107s were replaced. It remained available throughout the period when the other long-wheelbase Land Rovers had a 109-inch wheelbase but was latterly renamed the Long Station Wagon. Although other 109 inch examples were replaced by Series II models in spring 1958, the 107 inch Station Wagon carried on until the autumn, when it too was finally replaced by the Series II model. There were just 7,000 examples of the 107 inch Station Wagon, all with the 2-litre petrol engine. Only 239 were built for the Home market, and of those, about 15 were specially bodied by Bonallack as RAF mountain rescue ambulances. Paintwork was grey or blue, but beige was also available for export and other colours were available to special order. The Station Wagons saw the first proper expansion of the Land Rover range and they were fitted with a “Safari Roof” which consisted of a second roof skin fitted on top of the vehicle. This kept the interior cool in hot weather and reduced condensation in cold weather. Vents fitted

in the roof allowed added ventilation to the interior. While they were based on the same chassis and drivetrains as the standard vehicles, Station Wagons carried different chassis numbers, special badging, and were advertised in separate brochures. Unlike the original Station Wagon, the new in-house versions were highly popular and cemented Land Rover’s reputation. It can be said that it was the Land Rover Station Wagon that transversed the globe reaching parts that no other car had done so in the past. Simply put, the Station Wagon could carry more support crew and supplies than the earlier, shorter wheelbase Land Rover, and could therefore travel further. It was in a 1956 107 inch Station Wagon that the Leyland brothers, Mike and Mal, successfully crossed Australia from West to East by car for the first time ever, their crossing was filmed as a documentary and became a national focus point, as important to Australians as the moon landings to the Americans. The Land Rover used in the expedition is now in the care of the National Motor Museum, donated by the Leyland brothers. This beautifully restored 1957 example, has the distinction of being an extremely rare variant of the 107 inch Station Wagon, one of the 239 built for the home market. Restored over a new chassis supplied by the Series 1 Club, the interior is in very good condition but would benefit from a new headlining, and the period correct 2-litre petrol engine runs well. The restoration has been completed with an eye to originality and although the aluminium bodywork, finished in the correct shade of blue, is not as perfect as it left the factory, it in no way detracts from the overall appearance. The odometer reads 67,068 miles. A Heritage Certificate has been applied for, and the regretful sale of the car is the result of our vendor downsizing his large Land Rover collection due to his advancing years.

1998 BENTLEY AZURE
Introduced in 1995, the Bentley Azure was based on the platform of the Continental ‘R’ Coupé which had been launched originally in 1991. By definition, a fully strengthened luxury convertible to seat four adults very comfortably, accommodate their luggage, and hide an engine sufficiently powerful to propel the entire ensemble towards the horizon in a linear fashion is never going to be a small car and the Azure often surprised with its remarkable ‘presence’. Power came from the company’s stalwart 6.75 litre V8, fed by a single intercooled turbocharger producing in the region of 380bhp which, when mated to a General Motors sourced, four-speed automatic gearbox enabled this superbly designed Bentley to silently waft 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, naturally, with the specification (the option list was deliciously indulgent), but the base price was around £200,000 when new.
The service records indicate the following:
One of just 209 Bentley Azures produced in 1998, this superb motorcar has been very lightly used and in fact, was in storage for three years between 2009 and 2012. Indicated mileage was 14,024 at the time of consignment which is completely in accord with all the MoTs and service records which accompany the car. Finished in a delightful colour combination of Peacock Blue with Cream Leather highlighted in Blue, Lambswool over-rugs and gleaming stainless steel sills the interior of this convertible emanates tasteful luxury from the beautiful hand-polished wood, sumptuous leather and thick carpets and is a lovely place to be.
This 1998 Bentley has sat next to its stablemate, a Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph for many years, and is only offered for sale as our vendor is purchasing a Bentley Sedanca. This striking car will be offered with a fresh MoT and, at this guide price and with such low indicated miles, represents a massive saving on the new list price with an engine that has, effectively barely been run in.

Brilliantly painted in the delightfully named “Candy Apple Red” and with an equally brilliant red interior, this car sits on original 15” Mustang-Mag wheels and looks, quite simply, ‘the business’. It was optioned from new with the Rally Pack, which includes the woodrimmed steering wheel, a trio of ancillary gauges and a radio, all of which the car retains to this day. The original 289 engine has been stripped and fully rebuilt with a ‘mild cam’ to give it a little more ‘edge’ and the Autolite 4100, 4-barrel carburetor has been serviced and rebuilt also. Needless to say, the 4-speed manual gearbox and the rest of the transmission have also been subject to being stripped, checked and reassembled with new parts as required. The car is fitted with a custom stainless steel exhaust and apparently sounds incredible. This is a real ‘show’ quality car both inside and out, top and bottom and is presented with a photographic album documenting the restoration. Having recently been serviced just prior to the auction it’s ready to go. The Mustang is surely one of the most iconic cars in the world, and this fabulous example in ‘put-your-sunglasses-on’ Red represents an excellent opportunity to own a well-restored example that is sure to be a head-turner wherever you go.

1996 BENTLEY TURBO R
Based on the Mulsanne chassis, the Bentley Turbo R was built to be a serious high-performance machine and, like its predecessor, this Bentley had a turbocharged engine, however it was more highly tuned than the Mulsanne. With Bosch fuel injection to increase torque levels, uprated suspension, anti-roll bars and superior dampers, the Bentley Turbo was surprisingly nimble for a car of its size and using a 6750cc V8 capable of 135mph it was a real performer in a straight line too. Rave reviews in the press helped dealers move the Turbo R in relatively substantial numbers - one report by Motor Trend described it as “The first Bentley in decades deserving of that famous name”.
Offered here is a 1996 ‘facelift model’ Bentley Turbo R finished in Wildberry with a Sandstone interior piped and augmented in Wildberry. The usual high specification includes Wildberry Wilton carpeting piped in Sandstone, Wildberry lambswool over rugs and a 6xCD player with a remote for rear seat passengers. Originally supplied by H.R.Owen, it has only travelled 47,800 miles from new. The comprehensive service record is Bentley main dealer and a well respected Rolls-Royce specialist. The history file contains fourteen old MoTs and the current one expires in January 2017. It comes complete with all the relevant books and manuals and two spare keys.
Introduced in 1985, the Turbo R was a clear indication that the manufacturer intended to be at the leading edge of the fashionable performance car market. Sales were high enough for production of the Mulsanne to cease, despite the initial intention being for both cars to be produced in parallel. Indeed, the Turbo R went on to be one of the best-ever selling cars that either Rolls-Royce or Bentley had built. A slight face-lift of the Turbo went ahead in 1989, with the most noticeable changes being the replacement of the two large square front headlamps with quad round headlamps giving the car a more sporty and individual look. The Bentley Turbo RT eventually replaced it in 1997, and by then a total of 7,230 Turbo Rs had found homes.
These cars are a firm favourite with Silverstone Auctions because of the undisputed value that they represent, especially in this fantastic condition.

1970 TRIUMPH STAG ‘LD6’
Registration: RVC 427H Chassis Number: LD6BW Engine Number: LF77ESS Estimate (£): 15,000 - 18,000
The Triumph Stag is a British sports car sold between 1970 and 1978 by the Triumph Motor Company and styled by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. In 1965, Michelotti requested access to a Triumph 2000 to form the basis of a new a styling piece for the forthcoming Turin Motor Show. The resulting design (see photo) was liked so much it never featured at the show and instead the Stag was born. The name Stag was originally the ‘code’ name given to the model, but was adopted as the actual name during development in 1966.
The series of ‘LDx’ cars starts with LD1 (RRW 97H), with LD2 andLD3 still surviving outside UK, and then runs on consecutive plates from LD4 (RVC 425H - which starred in ‘The Sweeney’ and ‘The Professionals’) through LD9 (RVC 430H - which starred in ‘Straw Dogs’) to LD14 (RVC 435H - which starred in ‘Diamonds are Forever’) plus LD17 (RVC 438H - a much-used press car) and LD19 (a crash test car). The series concludes in late March/mid-April 1970 - still two months before the public launch - with LD20 being the first car sold to the public.
The original idea was to take two years developing the concept to launch in 1968, however it was delayed by a further two years because of a number of problems, partly financial. Engine selection for the final production example also played a big part. Many alternatives were tried, but it was a specially developed Triumph V8 3-litre power unit which was chosen and this engine would become exclusive to the Stag.
Presented here for sale is LD6, produced on the 26th March 1970, and still wearing its original Coventry plate of RVC 427H. Our vendor, himself a Triumph enthusiast, has owned the car for the last 12 years. He has set about fully restoring it, whilst ensuring it maintains a matching numbers status and the preservation of its specific original features, spending approximately £25,000 on it over the years. The car is in excellent condition and is said to drive superbly, having benefitted from a very good quality re-spray and a full engine & gear-box overhaul (the correct Borg-Warner 35 automatic BW-35 unit). With a recent MoT and full service, this car is ready to be enjoyed and appreciated. It’s one of a small and unique group of Triumph cars and is part of Triumph’s history, making it incredibly rare and sought-after.
Technically, the car was very advanced at launch in 1970, including independent suspension all round, servo-assisted disc/drum brakes and power steering and electric windows as standard. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés and with its refined styling, distinctive roll-over bar (originally installed to stiffen the body to reduce scuttleshake) and hard/soft top options, the car was widely acclaimed. Envisioned as a luxury sports car, the Triumph Stag was designed to compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz SL models. The first car built from production tooling in Triumph’s Project Development workshops, was pre-production car LD1. This famous car (still surviving and having been immortalised as a Corgi model) is very important in Triumph history as only two pre-production cars were built in this configuration. The other example, LD2, was a lefthand-drive car to US specification. Among Triumph Stag enthusiasts there is a real following and interest in these pre-production hand-built series of cars.

The 993 was the final generation of air-cooled 911s, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It is also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design. The 993 was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. Importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models. The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rearwheel steering (the ‘Weissach effect’), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. The 993 uses essentially the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears. Whereas the Porsche 964 produced 247 bhp, the 993 from 1995 produced 272bhp enabling a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match. The car seen here is a UK right-hand drive, 1995 993 C2 coupé with a manual gearbox. This all-original car has covered just 32,936 miles. It was delivered new on the 28th June 1995 via Dick Lovett Porsche Centre (Swindon) displaying registration M289 DMW. It comes with its fully complete Porsche book pack (as supplied when new), including its master key. Also present is a copy of the ‘new car consignment note’, showing the car’s full specification and options. It confirms it as a 1995 model year 911 Carrera Coupe (993331) plus all the details as per the current V5. The car was ordered in Midnight Blue Metallic

It’s very comprehensive history file shows a fully stamped up service book (all from Porsche Centres: Dick Lovett, Lancaster, Evans Halshaw and Solihull), numerous invoices for maintenance and a series of seven old MoT certificates (helping to verify the mileage). The low mileage is attributed to a previous owner buying the car and not having the chance to drive it and the car was stored well but was effectively unused from August 2003 until May 2014. Its MoT certificate in 2003 shows a mileage of 29,180, whilst the MoT certificate in 2014 shows 29,340 miles. The car covered just 160 miles in 11 years! Upon buying the car, our vendor set about having the car recommissioned and fully serviced. He replaced perishable items such as gaskets, tyres and wiper blades, but also took it to Porsche Centre Solihull for a full health-check and a comprehensive service (at 32,370 miles). The car required little real work, as it was in such good condition, but was refreshed and made fully fit for the road again. This car is surely one of the most original and least used 993s available today. The 993-series 911 is regarded by many as a true modern classic, offering genuine usability but still with a real and important place in the history of Porsche’s most famous model. This example is very worthy of the expression ‘best-of-breed’ and is ready to be enjoyed and appreciated. **(The vendor is in the process of removing a cherished plate from the car with the DVLA issuing a date-correct registration in due course)*

1957 BEDFORD CA VAN
More details and pictures to follow shortly..First introduced in 1952, the Bedford CA was a light delivery van built on a separate chassis with production continuing through to 1969. The chassis allowed specialist bodywork to be fitted such as the Dormobile and Campervan conversions and was offered in either short or long wheelbase with carrying capacities of 10cwt, 12cwt or 15cwt. The basic van, with its two opening rear doors and sliding front doors, despite being the mainstay utility vehicle of the period, is an uncommon sight on our roads nowadays. This Bedford CA is 1 of 2 specially prepared vans for the award-winning Alan Bennett film ‘The Lady in the Van’ starring Dame Maggie Smith. The van offered, was purchased as a fully restored vehicle by the current owner and was subsequently distressed to mimic the true story of Miss Mary Shepherd, who resided in a Bedford CA van on Alan Bennett’s driveway for over 10 years.

By the mid-1970s, the 911 had already been on sale for 15 years and Porsche had decided that a replacement model was long overdue. Unveiled at the Frankfurt Show in September 1977, the 911SC was thus seen by the Stuttgart firm as the swansong of this iconic rear-engined, air-cooled sports car before it was replaced by the radically different 928 with its front-mounted, water-cooled V8. How wrong they turned out to be. Essentially the new 911SC was very similar to the previous Carrera 3.0 with the same basic specifications, styling, and features, sharing the same 2,993cc engine as the brutal Turbo model but with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and no turbocharger. Power was up slightly from the previous 2.7 model, and a flatter torque curve made the car a little easier to drive. In 1980, the SC’s engine received modifications increasing the power to 188bhp while improving fuel economy by 10 percent. Driving through a 5-speed manual gearbox, the 1979 SC could reach 60 in just six seconds on its way to a top speed of 142mph with a fabulous mechanical wail from the flat-six engine. Further improvements in 1981 pushed the power up to 204bhp making it good for 145mph with 0-60 coming up in 5.7 seconds. 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. This ‘Super Carrera’ was originally registered on 6/08/1982 and lived most of its life North of the Border, being sold by its fourth keeper to David Stuart Ross from Glasgow on 17/04/1985 who kept the car until purchased by our vendor on 25/03/2011. Just prior to that Stuart Ross had substituted his cherished plate (5DSR) for the registration HBA 325Y which is still worn by the Porsche today. From the document file, it appears that Stuart Ross’ use of the car was sporadic and it was continuously SORN’d from 1/11/04 until 31/10/10 although there are a number of periods when the car was MoTd during these years. The pile of MoTs runs from 3/07/93 (mileage 37,127) until 03/04/2015 (50,309) with gaps when the vehicle was presumably off the road, but most importantly it currently has one. The invoice file has the usual bills for routine maintenance, tyres etc. The car is supplied with the Porsche book pack containing the Drivers Manual (dealer stamped up until 1991) and the ‘Lifetime Guarantee of Repair’ authentication. This, 3 litre SC, looks fabulous in unmarked Guards Red which contrasts perfectly with the Black roll hoop, Targa panel, wheel arch protectors and other detailing. The wheels appear recently refurbished and with their black centre sections look just right. The interior is in excellent condition and the Brown/Beige ‘Pascha’ combination is very rare, only being an option for a couple of years. All in all, our vendor has returned this lovely, early eighties Porsche to sparkling good health, and it’s offered for sale with a fresh MoT and V5, ready to be enjoyed by a proud new owner.

1972 VOLKSWAGEN ‘MARATHON WELTMEISTER’ BEETLE
The ‘Marathon’ Beetles were produced to celebrate the Beetles World Record production figure of 15,007,034 recorded on 17th February 1972. This 1300cc Beetle was subsequently called the World Champion, ‘Weltmeister’ in German, and was painted in a special ‘Marathon’ metallic paint, paint code: Silver Blue L96M. The car was fitted with unique silver and black sports wheels, made by Lemmerz, part number: 000 071 475B and had wheel nut caps and octagonal VW alloy hub covers. Black leatherette basket weave seat covers and rubber bumpers inserts completed the car. This particular Beetle, registered ‘WJO 444K’, is a UK right-hand drive example that has undergone a sympathetic tidy-up between 2012 to 2015 and during that period the brightwork was re-chromed and rubbers replaced. The glass is original and the engine bay itself is in presentable condition.

1981 VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO GTI
This stunning Mk1 Scirocco GTi was only manufactured for 1 year, making it extremely rare as most Sciroccos brought to the UK were the Storm, or the lesser GLS variants. The car has covered a mere 24,700 miles since it was registered on the 1st of August 1981.
Lots of documentation including the V5, Original Bill of Sale, Original Service VAG Wallet with Service Book, 1st Service Coupon, Scirocco Instruction Manual, Original T Hayselden Tax Disc Holder to name a few. There are two sets of keys also supplied.
The car is finished in Biakal Blue with a contrasting cloth interior and again this is a very rare colour only offered at the time on the GTi model. The car was supplied with tinted windows, an original Blaupunkt period Radio Cassette, dealer fitted Solite GT Sunroof in working order and externally finished off with unmarked original 5.5J alloys.
The driving experience is pure early eighties Golf GTi and mechanically it feels as you might expect having had 14 services in 24,600 miles.
Mechanically the car has a fully documented service history complete with all MoTs dating back to the early days having been serviced by Hayselden VW and Snape Hill Garage. More recently the car has received more attention after coming out of hibernation and fitted with a new cam belt, fuel pump, rear brake cylinders, and fully serviced. The vendor, who is particularly fastidious, decided that, as he had no intention of ever selling his beloved Scirocco, he would deal with the inevitable stone chips and touch-ups on a 34-year-old car by commissioning a bare-metal respray.

1980 TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS
Registration: MLH944V Chassis Number: R4DCYAL214277 Engine Number: 214277 Estimate (£): 24,000 - 28,000
The Talbot Sunbeam Lotus was one of the most exciting hot hatchbacks to emerge from the 1970s. Originally conceived when Chrysler Group’s competition manager Des O’Dell had a desire to create a contender for International Group 4 rallying, he approached Lotus and offered them a Sunbeam 1.6 GLS as the basis for their work. Lotus supplied not only the 2.2 type-911 version of their 16v four cylinder engine coupled to a 5-speed ZF dog-leg gearbox, but also brought notable chassis and exhaust system improvements to create a car able to beat the dominant Escort RS and Vauxhall Chevette HS/HSR’s at their own game.
This beautiful Series 1 example was supplied new by Cathedral Garage Ltd of Bristol in April 1980, since then it has led a very pampered life and been meticulously maintained over the years. The documented history file states that after purchasing the car in 1984, with 19,000 miles on the clock, the second owner kept a meticulous record of expenditure on the car for 29 years. MLH 944V is supplied with the original dealer pack, handbooks, 2 sets of keys and a number of bills and receipts. The mileage of 55,500 miles is warranted and the engine has been confirmed as original.
Lotus’ efforts were rewarded in 1980 when a Sunbeam piloted by Henri Toivonen won the RAC Rally of Great Britain, indeed this would be the last time a rear-wheel-drive car ever took the title. In 1981, the Constructor’s World Championship was claimed by the Sunbeam for the newly christened Talbot team (having been renamed by new owners Peugeot in 1979). Homologation rules dictated that for the new car to be eligible for competition, the car would also have to be offered to the general public and sold in a minimum number. Talbot set up a separate production line at their Linwood factory which would build the body shells that would then be shipped directly to Ludham Airfield where Lotus would then fit the engine, suspension and gearbox. Launched to an eager public in 1979, the 2174cc twin-cam engine, breathing through twin Dell’Orto carburettors developed 150 BHP and delivered excellent performance. Glowing reports from the motoring press followed, noting the cars razor-sharp handling and rapid pace, indeed even when driven today the Sunbeam is still considered a truly thrilling drive, set apart from most by it’s rear wheel drive balance, beautifully weighted controls and the lightness of the body.

We are told that in 2001 the second owner decided that the original black coachwork was looking a little tired, and therefore decided to pay for a bare-metal, windows-out repaint, which was carried out by Falcon Restorations near Bath. A photographic record of this work is also included, merely emphasising the attention to detail the car has received over the years. The black paintwork is currently smooth and blemish free, the shutlines perfectly aligned and the overall stance of the car looks and feels ‘right’. The level of care and attention is continued into the cockpit where the interior looks much as it did when delivered in 1980. Under the bonnet, the spotless leak-free Lotus twin-cam is complimented by a very tidy engine bay. Reassuringly, in December 2012, MLH 944V was taken to marque specialist Skip Brown Cars in Cheshire for a major service, cambelt change and vehicle inspection report. Suffice to say, the car is reported to be in beautiful condition throughout and is offered with a fresh MOT. This has been a truly cherished vehicle and we doubt you will find a better example on sale today. Following a recent inspection by the Lotus Sunbeam Club, this specific example was highly praised and suggested to be one of the finest remaining examples.

The end of an era, after 67 years of making one of the most iconic off-roaders, Land Rover called time on the Defender, so closely linked in heart, body and soul to the original Series I. To mark the occasion, Land Rover launched the final Defender Heritage series. Limited to just 400, the last ever Land Rover, as we have known them, rolled off the production at 9.15am on the 29th January of this year, the 2,016,933rd Heritage Defender built at Solihull became the last true Land Rover. Never has there been a car that has so captured the imagination of the world. Land Rovers have saved lives, won wars, delivered aid and hope, conveyed Kings and Queens and numerous Popes, ferried injured animals from the lowliest sheep to the proudest lion to safety. The Land Rover has conquered ravines, deserts and snow, broken records and won the hearts of millions. What an exciting opportunity therefore for this auction house to offer one of the first Land Rovers, Chassis #149 and one of the last, this 2016 Heritage Edition in the same sale. Registered to its first and current owner on the 18th January 2016, eleven days before the production of the last ever Defender, this car is the coveted 110. Resplendent in its Grasmere Green paint, a close match to the first Land Rover, HUE 166 which left the factory in Sage Green.

Subtle cues to the heritage of Land Rover, and its elder statesman, HUE 166, are dotted about the car, like the graphics on the wings and tags on the seats, just little reminders and a thank you. Supplied with its owner’s pack and bound commemorative book entitled”One of 400”, this 2.2 litre turbo-diesel had a mere 108 miles on the odometer at the time of consignment and will benefit from Land Rover Warranty & Assistance Cover until January 2019. This is possibly the newest vehicle we have ever sold, but WD 65 PXW sits comfortably amongst its neighbours, classics all and part of automotive history. To own this Heritage Defender, one of the last traditional Land Rovers ever produced is a privilege, a privilege available to just 400 individuals today. It will be difficult to stand next to our shiny Defender parked next to its great, great grandson, Chassis #149, their shared DNA much in evidence despite the 67 year age gap, and not feel intensely proud of British engineering.
This Heritage Edition has, as standard, an equipment list that’s a far cry from the original 1948 Land Rover. Heated seats! The only heated seats this consignor ever experienced in an early Land Rover was after a pair of Labradors had been asleep on them.

1961 PORSCHE 718 RSK SPYDER REPLICA
In 1957, Porsche decided that their 550 Spyder had reached 100% of its competition potential and quickly developed its successor, the 718 RSK Spyder which was built primarily as a racing machine between 1957 and 1962. The 718 RSK ( the RS stands for RennSport and the ‘K’ refers to the shape of the new front frame) became known as the ‘Silver Bullets’ and were powered by a 1.5-litre, quad-cam engine that generated around 142bhp, which may not sound much nowadays, but the 718 weighed practically nothing so these were quick little cars! The works cars were world-beaters in the hands of Moss, Hill, von Trips, Behra and Gurney and the original cars are now very rare and extremely expensive. It’s sporting looks and simple construction made it an ideal candidate for several low volume special builders to produce ‘replicas’ since a very smart body could be mated with the chassis and running gear from the relatively humble but plentiful VW Beetle. The result is a sensibly priced, surprisingly rapid and very nimble little ‘Silver Bullet’!

In 1971, British Leyland began developing a new car with David Bache at the helm of the design team. Inspired by the looks of Italian exotica such as the Ferrari 365 GTBB ‘Daytona’, Mr Bache and his engineering designer Spen King collaborated on a project titled SD1 (for Specialist Division 1), the specialist division being where British Leyland had chosen to park Rover and Triumph. The big car was surprisingly successful in motorsport, was adopted as a ‘jam jar’ by a number of Police Forces around Britain and became the ‘company car’ of choice for thousand of ‘representatives’ in a hurry.

1959 CADILLAC SERIES 62 SEDAN
Although Cadillac had invented the tail fin in 1948, by the late 1950s others were offering their own take on the theme. In fact, the 1959 Cadillac fins were a response by Cadillac to the 1957 Chrysler line, which had borrowed Cadillac’s own idea and taken it one step further. According to the late David Holls, former design director at GM, the famous fins of 1959 were the result of a directive from management that Cadillac would not be outdone by Chrysler products, in effect “Whatever they can do - we can do bigger”. There was little danger of that, as the 1959 Cadillac was a modern classic that truly represented the high point of the era of fins and flash. It was huge yet remarkably docile to drive, thanks to abundant power, a first-rate automatic transmission, and excellent power steering and brakes. No other car captured the essence of the Jet Age quite like the 1959 Cadillac. In addition to sharply swept and dramatically pointed fins, surface development was a series of curves, nacelles, and character lines that could have come from one of the new jet fighters of the time. Wheel covers carried a turbine wheel motif, and there were even vestigial ventral fins at the lower edge of each rear side, passing through the fender skirts to merge into the massive rear bumper.

This dramatic 1959 Cadillac is a statement about American motoring philosophy at that point in history and it is said that every old car enthusiast should own at least one at some point in their lifetime. The outrageous styling belies that fact that these are fantastic cars to drive on the road, assuming it’s wide enough. When compared with its contemporaries, both domestic and European, it’s a true luxury car and a pleasure to own and be seen in. The example on offer today is in overall very good condition and is reported to need no immediate work. The white paintwork and bodywork are said to be in good condition from an older re-paint, the trim is tidy and the engine and automatic gearbox are reported to be running very well indeed. We feel that the car, if so desired, could be immediately put to work as a bridal car and as such would complement any fleet of wedding cars. It would be most welcome at the dozens of County Shows that have sections for classic and interesting cars or maybe you would just like to light up a big ‘Ceegar’ and burble down your High Street “Boss Hog” style. A ‘59 Cadillac is a piece of classic Americana and we encourage all prospective bidders to come and see this one in the flesh. We welcome pre-sale inspections and think that this is a seriously tempting proposition given the realistic guide price and sheer scale of this impressive American icon.

1987 PORSCHE 924 S
The 1976 Porsche 924 was a complete departure by the company, in that it featured a front mounted water cooled engine. The 1984cc engine was essentially an Audi unit which Porsche then tweaked to 125bhp. The power went to a rear mounted gearbox/transaxle, the advantage of this layout was that it gave the car near perfect weight balance which naturally improved the handling. The 924 was clothed in a pretty two plus two body shell which featured a large glass hatchback giving access to a relatively large rear boot making this a very practical sports car. The 2-litre engine, which powered the earlier models, developed 125bhp and the maximum speed was in excess of 125mph. Things were to improve with the arrival of the 924S which was fitted with a 2.5-litre engine with 163bhp available. With its surefooted handling, the car was to prove a great success and nowadays is a popular choice as a potential future classic.

In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released their new 300SE Coupé. For marketing reasons, this car, like its saloon stablemate, was kept apart from the W111 220SE that had been launched in 1960 and was attributed its own model number-W112-which positioned it as a successor to the W187, 300S two-door series, rather than the Ponton range. The car was distinguished by the Daimler-Benz top of the range 2996cc, M189 engine, a chrome strip, air suspension and a much higher level of cabin appointments. These vehicles were marketed separately from the rest of the W111 family as Mercedes presumably felt that they were more likely to appeal to different potential buyers. This car is not just a run of the mill 300SE but a fully prepared successful classic rally car. Overall winner of the prestigious Monte Carlo Winter Challenge in 2002, and well known in Historic rallying circles with the memorable registration number 5POT.....Spot the winner!! The work carried out back in 2001, has not just given this car all the tools to compete in historic rallies, but has much improved the day to day drivability of this car on the open road. With just 46,000 miles on the clock since new, we are informed it performs much better than the other W112s the current vendor has previously owned, with improved gear ratios, better brakes and suspension. Internally the period Recaro seats are so much more comfortable and supportive than the original seats and upon close inspection, as a result of the original Mercedes leather being used, they suit the car perfectly in our vendors opinion.

1940 BUICK SUPER 50 SEDAN
The Buick Super was produced from 1940 through the 1958 model years (excluding WW II) and was built on Buick’s larger body shared with the Roadmaster. It and the Roadmaster were replaced by the Electra in 1959. When introduced in 1940, the new Series 50 Super featured the cutting-edge “Torpedo” C-body. When combined with a column mounted shift lever the cars offered true six passenger comfort. The basic formula for the 1940 to 1952 Super was established by mating the Roadmaster’s longer, behind-the-engine-cowl body, to the Series 40 Special’s smaller straight-eight engine. This led to an economical combination of voluminous passenger room and relatively good fuel economy. Initially, four body styles were offered: a 2-door coupe, a 2-door convertible, a 4-door sedan and a 4-door convertible.

Americana doesn’t come any more reasonably priced than this charming Buick. We welcome all pre-sale inspections and encourage bidders to contact the office for further information.
This Buick Super 50 is a strikingly impressive car that lends itself to the Jive and Lindy Hop lifestyle and makes a great impression where ever it is taken. This example is described by the owner as in good overall

1981 AUSTIN MORRIS MINI 95L VAN
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 grill on the early cars but as the years went by they became more luxurious with the need to compete with Japanese micro-vans. The simplification of Mini branding in 1969 reduced things to Mini Van and Mini Pick-up and in 1978, the commercial vehicles were renamed ‘Mini 95’ to reflect the 0.95 ton gross weight of the van and pick-up and an ‘L’ pack was introduced in 1979. The ‘L’ pack consisted of hound’stooth cloth centre sections to the seats, front carpets, a passenger sun visor and more sound-proofing.

change of ownership was on 20/08/2013 and the colour, according to the V5 was ‘Green/Blue’, however the vehicle today is bright red. It’s ‘earned its crust’ recently functioning as a promotional vehicle for the “Classic Motor Show” and has been seen at Goodwood and Beaulieu and a number of local shows in the South East. It was certainly eye-catching at that point, heavily vinyled in red with a blue roof and silver Minilites. Currently SORN’d with no MoT we are offering this vehicle “No Reserve” and cannot offer any suggestions as to its mechanical or structural condition, but when properly recommisioned could be returned to a great little working van for a small business or could be pressed into service promoting whatever you want to promote!
The brightly coloured minivan we see here began life as an Austin Morris Mini 95L, and was first registered on 03/08/1981.The last

To meet current legislative requirements, you will need to provide proof of identification in the form of a passport or drivers licence and a recent utility bill as proof of address.

HOW FAST WILL THE AUCTIONEER GO?
WARRANTIES
The auctioneer will aim to sell approximately 90 lots of automobilia, watches and lifestyle per hour and 20 vehicles per hour.
ONLINE BIDDING
All lots are sold on an ‘as seen’ basis. You may wish to bring a competent mechanic with you to inspect any Motor Vehicles on your behalf. The catalogue will describe the lots to the best of our ability on information supplied. You should, however, satisfy yourself as to the condition, age, and integrity of any lot prior to bidding as no warranties whatsoever are given in relation to any lot. Once the auctioneer drops the hammer a contract is made and you are obligated to proceed with the purchase. It is therefore vital that you are satisfied with the condition of the lot you intend to bid upon before doing so.
Silverstone Auctions has partnered with proxibid.com to allow you to bid live on sale day from anywhere. Registration for internet bidding is done directly on their website. We advise that you register with them at least 48 hours before a sale to allow sufficient time for your registration to be approved. Using these providers carries an additional buyers premium charge of 1% for cars and 3% for automobilia/lifestyles.
CHARGES
Like the vast majority of auctioneers, Silverstone Auctions Limited charge what is known as a buyer’s premium. Our standard buyer’s premium charges are 12.5% of the hammer price on motor vehicles (cars and motorcycles) and 20% of the hammer price for automobila and lifestyle items. Buyer’s premium is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate on the day of the auction.
TELEPHONE BIDDING**
PAYMENT
Should you be unable to attend the auction on sale day, telephone bidding will still allow you to bid live. On the day of the sale, a member of Silverstone Auctions will contact you, usually a few lots prior to your selected lots and will guide you through the process. To register a telephone bid, please complete the relevant Telephone/Commission Bidder Registration form*. It is important that you provide us with alternative contact numbers to ensure that we are able to contact you on the day. You may wish to leave a commission bid to be used in the event that we are unable to contact you. This however is entirely optional.
Full payment for all Lots must be made to SAL by 5:00pm the next Working Day. Payment can only be accepted in GBP. For security reasons, payments by Debit or Credit card (VISA/Mastercard) will only be accepted where the cardholder is present. Credit Card Payments are subject to a 1.76% surcharge. Business debit and credit cards are subject to a 2% surcharge. There is a floor cash limit of £5000. Items cannot be removed until paid for.
