Lot 100A

Welcome We’re delighted to return to the NEC for our third sale at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show and final sale of what has been a very busy and successful year for Silverstone Auctions.

2014 has seen us achieve a number of world record prices as well as host brand new sales at the Practical Classics Restoration Show back in April, and Salon Privé in September. We look forward to an equally exciting 2015 with details of next year’s sales now available.

SPORTING BEARS MOTOR CLUB - PORSCHE 918 SPYDER Dream Ride FRIDAY 14TH NOVEMBER to be auctioned from the ‘WHEELER DEALER LIVE STAGE’ Estimate (£): No Reserve The Sporting Bears Motor Club, known for its fundraising, is offering a thrilling ride in a Porsche 918 Spyder on a circuit, raising money for the Acorn Children’s Hospice.

of Porsche’s most classic hypercars from the past - from the 959 to the Carrera GT - and is a technological tour de force at the same time.

Sporting Bears has become a key attraction of the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show in recent years thanks to its ‘Dream Rides’ - a ten-mile ride as a passenger in one if its incredible selection of cars all owned by Sporting Bears’ members in exchange for a charitable donation.

In combining 4.6-litres worth of high revving, race-bred conventional V8 engine with electric motors that power both the front and rear axles, it is one of the fastest road cars on the planet, with a combined power output of 875bhp at 8500rpm and a thumping 944lb ft of torque.

The Porsche 918 Spyder ride will be slightly different however, with the action being track-based rather than on the public highway, allowing the lucky passenger the opportunity to experience the full power of this phenomenal car.

Compared to its rivals, the only numbers it fails to live up to is the price. Whereas its counterparts are in the millions, a standard model (if you could call this car standard) is around £650,000.

The track session will take place in 2015 on Silverstone’s GP circuit* with FIA qualified racing driver Paul Bailey at the wheel of the supercar, provided by Horsepower Racing.

The car will complete three laps of the 3.66 mile-long circuit at race speed. Passengers must be aged 16 years or older.

The 918 Spyder is, according to Porsche, the future of the sports car. It’s also the spiritual successor to a whole host

The Sporting Bears members give their cars, time and fuel freely so that every penny raised goes to the chosen children’s charities. The money raised from the Porsche ride will go to the Acorns Children’s Hospice.

The Bears will, on average, give 1,000 dream rides over the three days raising between £35,000 and £40,000 plus gift aid. For as little as £10, you can have a ride in a great British classic. If you’re looking for something ‘super’, expect to pay £100-£120. * subject to availability.

SPORTING BEARS MOTOR CLUB - MCLAREN P1 Dream Ride Estimate (£): No Reserve The Sporting Bears Motor Club, known for its fundraising, is offering a thrill ride in a McLaren P1 on a circuit, raising money for the Acorn Children’s Hospice.

Sporting Bears has become a key attraction of the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show in recent years thanks to its ‘Dream Rides’ - a ten-mile ride as a passenger in one if its incredible selection of cars all owned by Sporting Bears’ members in exchange for a charitable donation.

The McLaren P1 ride will be slightly different however, with the action being track-based rather than on the public highway, allowing the lucky passenger the opportunity to experience the full power of this phenomenal car.

The car will complete three laps of the 3.66 mile-long circuit at race speed. Passengers must be aged 16 years or older.

The McLaren P1 follows in the footsteps of the iconic McLaren F1, the car that pushed boundaries further than any of its rivals. The limited production of 375 sold out within months.

w ww.silverstoneauctions.com

The car, which can be seen on static display at the Sporting Bears stand in Hall 11, has a V8, twin-turbo petrol and electric motor combo pushing out 903bhp with 772lb ft of torque being pushed through the rear wheels. It can go from 0 to 62mph in 2.8 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the McLaren F1.

With around 75 per cent of P1 customers opting for some level of unique design from McLaren Special Operations, its no surprise that the average sale price of a P1 is above £1 million.

The Sporting Bears members give their cars, time and fuel freely so that every penny raised goes to the chosen children’s charities. The money raised from the McLaren P1 ride will go to the Acorns Children’s Hospice.

The Bears will, on average, give 1,000 dream rides over the three days raising between £35,000 and £40,000 plus gift aid. For as little as £10, you can have a ride in a great British classic. If you’re looking for something ‘super’, expect to pay £100-£120. * subject to availability

1964 Austin Mini Mk I ex Chris Evans

Registration: CBK 445B Chassis Number: AA2S7S576109 Engine Number: 754252 Year of Manufacture: 1964 No Reserve

Designed as project ADO15 (Austin Drawing Office project number 15), the Mini came about because of a fuel shortage caused by the 1956 Suez Crisis. Petrol was once again rationed in the UK, sales of large cars slumped, the market for German bubble cars boomed.

Leonard Lord, the somewhat autocratic head of BMC, reportedly detested these cars so much that he vowed to rid the streets of them and design a ‘proper miniature car’. Issigonis, who had been working for Alvis, had been recruited back to BMC in 1955 and, with his skills in designing small cars, was a natural for the task. The team that designed the Mini was remarkably small: as well as Issigonis, there was Jack Daniels (who had worked with him on the Morris Minor), Chris Kingham (who had been with him at Alvis), two engineering students and four draughtsmen. Together, by October 1957, they had designed and built the original prototype, which was affectionately named “The Orange Box” because of its colour.

This 1964 Austin Mini Mk I has been built to Cooper 998cc specification. In 2003, the car was professionally restored by an employee at a leading classic car restoration specialist in Kent. He bored out the engine from 850cc to 998cc and made a number of significant upgrades. These included a fast-road cam, new exhaust system, disc brakes, dry suspension and an original British Leyland straight cut gearbox to name but a few. A large number of bills and receipts are available in the history file.

Silverstone Auctions had the pleasure of selling this car to Chris Evans in the past and he speaks very highly of the way it drives and the fun motoring it provided at the time.

Recently the subject of a recent service, fuel pump and MoT, the current vendor reports that he has used ‘CBK 445B’ only on sunny days and “It has entertained me immensely on the local roads around my home. The more you push it the better it gets!”

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.

Volkswagen produced the last 300 German manufactured right-hand drive beetles in 1978 and they were unique to any other. All were produced in the very special ‘Jubilee Silver’, a colour unique to this batch and never before graced on any other model year. The vehicles were each equipped with a 1200cc engine (the

most famous of all), unique blue corded velour trim, flat screen (as a mark to the past), heated rear window, fresh air blower and handbrake dash light. Finally, to certify each vehicle, a dash mounted plaque stated the vehicles number in the sequence. This example is known throughout the VW owners club and featured on the official LEB register.

Reading an incredible 7200 miles, this LEB Beetle, number 111, was the subject of a sympathetic restoration between 2011-2013 and is in lovely condition. The Jubilee Silver paintwork is bright and the interior is immaculate. All brightwork and chrome are ‘as new’, the glass is original and the engine bay is extremely original.

A number of bills detail expenditure and a current MoT has just been carried out, along with an oil service from respected VW specialist Veedubs.

The LEB is commonly known as the most limited production of any special edition Beetle and in our opinion is very significant to any serious collector. In addition, this car would make an ideal first classic for any enthusiast for a most reasonable outlay.

1972 RHD Fiat 500L

Registration: RBY 713K Chassis Number: 3088751 Engine Number: 9345313 Year of Manufacture: 1972 No Reserve

The Fiat 500 was produced by Fiat S.p.A (Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino) between 1957 and 1975 and was designed

by Dante Giacosa. Despite its diminutive size, the ‘500’ proved to be an enormously practical and popular vehicle throughout Europe. It captured the hearts and minds of the public until production ended in 1975. Launched as the Nuova (new) 500 in July 1957 it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only 3 metres long, and originally powered by a 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term “small car” and it is considered to be one of the first ‘city cars’. The ‘L’ or Lusso penultimate model, like the car offered here today, was produced between 1968 and 1972.

It featured a much modernised interior including a renewed dashboard which brought the Fiat 500 up to date. Greater comfort and style were provided in this new model for a new generation, and the engine benefitted from a power upgrade to 499cc.

We are informed by the vendor that this beautiful little Fiat 500 is a genuine RHD car and was imported from Ireland in 1977. Subject of an older nut and bolt restoration in 2001 which also included an engine upgrade to 650cc to improve performance and driveability, a slight pull on the choke and this little Fiat springs eagerly into life, the uprated syncro gearbox is tight and precise to use and this little car pulls very eagerly in all gears.

The steering is reported to be light and

precise, this Fiat goes exactly where it is pointed with ease and holds the road with go cart like stability and when it comes to bring proceedings to a halt, the brakes pull the car up straight and true.

The bodywork bears testimony to the level of the Fiats restoration, panel fit is reported to be excellent, while the minimal chrome shines like new. The doors open and close with ease, as does the front bonnet and rear engine hood, suggesting it’s been put back together with sympathy and expertise.

The bodywork is reported to be is superb condition throughout; all 4 wheel arches are bright and clean as is the underside of the car.

You’re hardly in the lap of luxury inside here; however the tiny seats are more comfortable than they look, even if the driving position is rather upright. The dashboard retains its original albeit spare switchgear and the speedometer currently shows just less than 33000 miles. The engine bay is clean with no signs of oil, water or any fluid leaks in evidence Sold with a current V5 logbook, previous MOT certificates including the current one which runs until March 2015, tax until Feb 2015 and a good history file, this charming little car makes for classic day to day driving if its next owner wishes, or equally is now a rare car that will draw many admiring glances on the show field..

The Volvo Amazon ‘executive car’ was manufactured between 1956 and 1970.

Featuring strong articulation front and rear, with slight tail-fins - echoing the transatlantic styling ‘in-vogue’ at the time, the Amazon’s bodywork was constructed of phosphate-treated steel with heavy use of under-coating and anti-corrosive oil treatments.

The lively 66bhp 120 series engine outperformed many sports-cars of the time, being equipped with a 4 speed gearbox often with overdrive.

Enjoying mythological status as one of the greatest sellers of the time, many “million-milers” as they are sometimes known, are still used as daily-drivers throughout the world; testimony indeed to the amazing build quality.

Still used in classic rallies throughout the world and a former winner of the Acropolis Rally, Amazons were regularly seen participating in the London to Sydney and Montecarlo Rallies.

Those privileged to have owned the 120-series pay testament to their virtues of strength, reliability and simplicity to maintain.

Highly-original, immaculate Amazons similar to this particular vehicle, with unmarked interiors (including the highly coveted original rubber flooring material) are in much-demand, those with outstanding bodywork and interiors even more so.

This 121 manual four-door saloon reflects a highly-cossetted life having seemingly been fastidiously maintained since being despatched from “Speed’s Volvo of Alfreton” in 1967, as the authentic pressed registration plates confirm (such is the originality). The current odometer reading of 93’979 miles suggests sparing use over it’s 47 year existence.

Purchased by the current owner, it became his obsession post-acquisition, to bring the car to ‘best of breed’ status.

The NEC Classic Motor Show Sale will be the first time it has been seen since 2 ½ years of grit and determination have been spent attempting to realise the dream.

Supplied with a 12 month ‘no advisory’ MOT, the Amazon is now ready to be enjoyed as it attempts to cement its own place in Volvo’s renowned ‘High Milers Club’ as well as in the heart of it’s new custodian.

The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967, and is the best known of the “big” Healey models. The car’s bodywork was made

by Jensen Motors, and the vehicles were assembled at the BMC Abingdon works.

The 3000 Mark III was launched in October 1963, and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of Austin-Healey’s ceased.

Classified as the BJ8, the new model was the most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys, with a walnut-veneer dash, wind-up windows, and a 150hp engine.

Improvements to the engine included a new camshaft and valve springs, and twin SU 2” HD8 carburettors, together with a new design of exhaust system.

Servo-assisted brakes were now fitted as standard. Only 2+2 seat versions were made.

This delightful left-hand drive Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 was delivered new

Having resided in the dry climate of Texas the body has been preserved in very original condition. Subsequently, the shut lines and panel fit are excellent.

The engine is matching numbers and was recently dyno tested at 140 bhp. The car was restored by marque specialist Rawles Motorsport in 2008 and is still in excellent condition.

Finished in its original colour of Ivory White with black interior, there are a large number of bills and receipts substantiating work carried out and general maintenance. In addition, a service has recently been carried out at SanSpeed and the car is ready to be used and enjoyed with a fresh MoT certificate included.

This Italian-designed Isetta microcar was built under licence in a number of different countries, including Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Produced in the post-World War II years, a time when cheap short-distance transportation was most needed, it became one of the most successful and influential city cars ever created. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a ‘bubble car’, a name later given to other similar vehicles.

With space for two and their luggage, the Isetta was perfect for the UK’s urban and rural roads. In 1957, Isetta of Great Britain began producing 300 models at their factory in Brighton under licence from BMW. The British cars were righthand drive with the door hinged from the right hand side of the car and the steering column moved across to the right as well. Being right-hand drive meant that the driver and engine were on the same side, so a counterweight was added to the left side to compensate. Lucas electrics replaced the German Hella and Bosch components, with a different headlamp housing being used. Girling brake components replaced the ATE brake parts. In 1962, Isetta of Great Britain stopped production of the little cars but continued to produce Isetta engines until

This 1962 example is one of the very rare UK supplied right-hand drive Isettas.

A decent history file is offered with the car containing various invoices dating back to the 1990s, owner’s booklet and other Isetta paraphernalia included. Since 2002 the car has been displayed at various events and was re-commissioned in 2011. Described by the vendor as a “very original car, with many original parts still present, including the original turn signal indicator stalks, baker light switches and bumper guards.” The bodywork is in very good order with no rust and the underside and floor pans are excellent.

Prior to the auction this car will have a full MoT and a full service and tune at Bromley Bubble, the UK’s leading Isetta specialist. A charming little bubble car, ideal for any collector of the marque.

Registration: AL05 AML Chassis Number: SCFAA01A55GA03245 Engine Number: M04/12250 Year of Manufacture: 2005 Estimate (£): 36,000 - 40,000

Launched at the 2003 Frankfurt motor show, the exceptional Aston Martin DB9 promised to be one of the most sought after supercars of the decade. Henrik Fisker’s flowing design retained all the good looks of its predecessor, the highly acclaimed DB7. Weight was kept down by the use of aluminium and composites for the bodywork, while power from the V12 was a healthy 450bhp. This provided the Aston with acceleration to 100mph from standstill in only 10 seconds, then on to a near 190mph maximum speed. Weight distribution was a perfect 50:50 thanks to the front-mid engine layout with rear mounted sequential transmission.

Finished in the classic combination of Tungsten Silver with Obsidian Black Leather and Walnut Veneer, this desirable 6-speed manual DB9 has covered only 29,000 miles from new with some Aston Martin main dealer service history. The factory specification includes: Satellite Navigation with GSM phone blue tooth connectivity, 19 inch 15 spoke alloys with grey callipers, rear parking sensors, powerfold mirrors and T.P.M.S tyre pressure monitor sensors.

first owner in the Netherlands with the registration ‘DM-20-12’. The car is finished in Volvo Light Green with a Black vinyl interior and Red carpets throughout. The car then moved to Ireland in 2006 with documents in the history file relating to its time on the emerald isle.

The P1800 made its debut at the Brussels Motor Show in 1960, with Volvo forming a partnership with Jensen Motors to manufacture the car at their assembly plant in West Bromwich, with an agreed 10,000 cars to be produced. In September 1960 the first P1800 rolled out of the Jensen factory. Unfortunately, after quality control issues with the car, Volvo decided to end the contract with Jensen after producing only 6,000 units, and they moved manufacture back to their Lundby Plant in Gothenburg, Sweden.

They decided to rename the car the P1800S, with the ‘S’ standing for ‘Sverige’ or in English, Sweden. The engine was given some attention and in 1966 the four-cylinder engine was uprated to give 115bhp.

Purchased this year by the current vendor, the car has recently been recommissioned. Work carried out included a full service, new tyres, battery, refurbished wheels and new shock absorbers. At the same time, the engine also benefitted from a service by a Volvo specialist, including work on the cylinder head and new valves.

First created as a special series awarded as prizes in an Italian national lottery, the Giulietta Sprint coupé amazed its lucky winners with its performance and handling. Alfa rushed the Bertone-bodied Sprint into series production, followed by the Berlina four-door saloon and Pininfarina’s Spider in 1955. Renowned for their incredible responsiveness, and the eager performance of their 1,290 cc twin cam aluminium alloy engines, they were as rewarding to drive as many larger or more expensive automobiles of the day, and frequently took the measure of more expensive and exotic cars on race tracks.

This 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta presents well with all of its original trim and features. The vendor advises it was sitting in a garage for several decades before being recomissioned earlier this year. There is evidence it may have been repainted in its lifetime but other than that looks very original for its 53 years.

According to a document supplied by the vendor from Automobilismo Storico Alfa Romeo, this car was manufactured on 16th September 1961 and sold to Alfa Romeo Inc. in Newark, New Jersey on 28th September 1961 in its original Red colour. The car is now registered as a 1962 car in the UK.

in a garage, the vendor informs this little Giulietta has been given new tyres, a complete overhaul on the brakes and handbrake system with new wheel cylinders, brake shoes, hoses, cables, fluid, etc. The fuel system has been overhauled with new lines, filters and pump. The carburettor was rebuilt, the distributor replaced with a new one, and all the fluids and filters replaced. New door, window and boot seals were fitted as well as a full new exhaust (sourced from Classic Alfa).

We are advised it runs very well and fires up immediately. The roof looks sound, the spare tyre is present and even includes the original driver’s handbook that came with the car in 1961. All trim is present and this is probably one of the most original cars with even the wiring harness untouched and original. Original radio is present and it even lights up.

The speedometer is currently showing a mileage of 89,051 unwarranted miles.

The car is supplied with a full V5C and a current MoT that expires on 25/06/14.

Ready to use and drive or strip down to do a nut and bolt restoration, this is a real honest car with a lovely patina as she sits.

To find such an old and original Alfa with all its features that has not already been restored is a real treat.

Introduced in 1975 the 911 Turbo, or 930 as it was known, was the definitive and fastest sports car of the era. Substantially refined in 1978, Porsche introduced a larger 3.3-litre intercooled engine with substantially less turbo lag, improved brakes and 300bhp on tap.

This car is the later 3.3 930 Turbo supplied new to California, USA in 1979 in left-hand drive. Infact it was one of the last 50 930 Turbos imported to the USA as the model was banned the year after for being too quick! It carries the badge confirming the last 50 build status on the dashboard.

Sourced for the current vendor by highly respected marque experts, Francis Tuthill Porsche, it was imported to the UK in December 2012. Early in 2013 work commenced with Tuthills and a complete mechanical overhaul of the car was carried out - which included replacing all tyres, sonically cleaning the injection system, rebuilding the fuel metering unit and fuel tank, as well as replacing all worn parts where necessary. Although only 46,000 miles have been covered from new, today the bills and receipts on file confirm it was still necessary to spend over £9,000 to get the car ‘on the button’ for our fastidious vendor.

In the early seventies, Porsche were in a rich vein of competition success. It’s not surprising that the 2.4 litre 911 variants of that time are considered a reflection of that engineering prowess.

Registered new in Germany on 10th April 1973, this 2.4 litre S was purchased new by a Mr Horst Fischbach of Betzdorf. A ‘binding order’ form states the car was sold with the factory options of 7” by 15” Fuchs wheels all round, leather Recaro seats, single mirror, sunroof, plastic fuel tank, speakers and antenna! The car was purchased by its second owner on 16th May 1975 and to its third in 1977. In 1980 it was bought by Norman Camamile, who took the car to London from Germany and stored the car until it was discovered by the current owner in 2013.

Found in remarkably original condition, he set about recommissioning the 2.4 S and a bare metal respray was carried out.

The original sportomatic gearbox was replaced with a type 915 manual gearbox (9153011020R) that has been fully rebuilt.

However, the original gearbox is included in the sale. The original 2.4 S engine (6339114) has just been rebuilt by marque specialists Unit 11 with new big ends, heads, valves, cams and new injectors.

Potential buyers should be aware that this work is guaranteed under warranty for 6 months and has just been completed.

The interior was left untouched from when discovered and it still retains its original Recaro leather seats in remarkably good condition. The carpets, dash and headlining retain a lovely patina and are in very good condition.

The exterior of the car presents very well with excellent shut lines and bright light yellow paintwork and chrome. The original light yellow paint was very dull when found and required a high quality respray, which was carried out under the supervision of the owner, himself a well-respected Porsche mechanic and restorer. The end product is a car that looks fantastic and retains a sense of originality and character.

Conceived by Sir Alec Issigonis who, acting on BMC chief Sir Leonard Lord’s brief to “drive those bloody bubble-cars off the road”, instructed a team of talented engineers, draughtsmen and craftsmen to translate his basic sketches and often crude ‘cigarette-packet’ drawings and calculations into the legend it became.

The late owner (and only keeper on the UK V5C), of this delightful example, decided the outstandingly original shell - that had never been welded - should be renovated and therefore decided to embark upon the painstaking task of bringing the Mini back to ‘factory-fresh’ condition.

The accompaning Heitage Certificate confirms this Austin Mini Se7en was built on the 30th May 1960 and despatched from ‘Lookers’ in Manchester.

The quirkiness of BMC’s ‘badgeengineering’ and the fact that on occasion both Longbridge and Cowley completed Austin and Morris variants, the late owner fitted this Austin Se7en with the more ‘premium-looking’ Morris badges. The chrome bumper over-riders and heater are testimony to the ‘de-luxe’ specification.

highlight the unique level of detail both ‘inside-and-out’ that ‘brand-new shell’ restorations often lack. The heritage of this wonderful Mini has therefore been retained, perhaps it is the very best Mk1 848cc on offer today.

Noted and highly respected journalist, Quentin Wilson, recently commissioned a full restoration of a Mk1. Now complete, various forums and clubs are suggesting this car may have a value in excess of £35,000.

Upon acquisition from the estate of the late owner, the current private collector embarked on attending to various items that time had not allowed him to finish.

This included refreshing various engine and transmission items (having diligently inspected the internals of both), servicing the entire braking system, detailing the engine bay, procuring and fitting O.E.M items such as tyres, exhaust and inlet manifolds, preparing the underside of the car to ‘factory-fresh’ condition (including the prized original type sub-frames).

Having covered just 85 miles since the restoration, the results of the combined endeavours of such fanatical owners has led to the museum-quality example offered here today.

Museum quality. A term often used, but this stunning XK120 actually was a museum piece.. The XK120 deserves its iconic status as the car that epitomises British racing. From its first victory in the UK at Silverstone in 1949 and then across ‘the pond’ to NASCAR in the USA in 1954, the XK in various guises collected trophies and accolades at virtually every race it entered. The roster of stars, such as Sir Stirling Moss and Clarke Gable, who raced and cruised in the XK120 is a testament to its versatility and desirability.

This XK120 3.4 in left hand drive is the desirable Special Equipment model .

Having spent a majority of its life in Victoria, British Columbia, the car has always been the recipient of care and maintenance, a coveted weekend driver up until the 1990s, at which point it joined a large collection at a private Canadian museum. Always kept out of the elements, when the previous owner bought the car it was still impressively original and solid, providing an excellent

October 1975 saw the debut of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem. Pininfarina designed the two seater Berlinetta using the engine (now dry sump) and running gear from the 308 GT4 2+2.

We are informed by the vendor that this particular 308 GTS/i was supplied new

by The Sports Car Exchange of Dearborn, Michigan on the 15th of July 1982 to a Mr Clifford Robinson for $56000 who subsequently owned this car for the next 20 years and formed part of a private collection hence the very low mileage.

With only 2 further keepers, the last being the President of the Ferrari Owners Club Houston Texas (who owned the car for six years), this particular car has led a much pampered existence, and it shows. Finished externally in Black there is a deep mirror like finish throughout, all panel gaps are reported to be consistent throughout and sets the car off beautifully.

It’s the sharpness of detail that really impresses, the pedal rubbers are unworn, the steering wheel isn’t shiny, the dashboard and both seats are virtually unmarked and the red leather is in superb order throughout. The centre console is complete with a bank of classic chrome levers and flick switches are reported to work perfectly. The window rubbers retain their original finish, even the original

IIn the early 1970’s Mercedes-Benz built what many people believe was the finest automobile in the world. For the buyers who wanted wind in their hair there was no finer choice than the 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet which combined with the powerful 3.5-liter V-8 was the fastest, most sumptuous and most expensive convertible that money could buy at a Mercedes-Benz dealership.

Offered here today is the rarest of all variants - one of just 68 right hand drive floor mounted automatics ever produced.

Purchased by our vendor in the UK eleven years ago it was exported to Australia.

Immediately after arriving in Australia the owner decided due to the extreme rarity of the model that the car should be entrusted to ‘Sleeping Beauties’ restoration in Brisbane Australia. ‘Sleeping Beauties’ are officially recognised Mercedes-Benz expert restoration specialists. The car began what was a five year $200,000 plus restoration.

Upon the car returning to possibly one of most particular collectors it was scored at 95.5 out of 100. The owner, who himself owns one of the worlds largest restoration companies, sent it to his facility with the instructions “Make it as good if not better than the way it came from the factory”.

The car is now presented in concours condition to match the best in the world.

A full rotisserie bare metal re-spray was conducted in Black, all chrome work rechromed, succulent Ox Blood red leather fitted to the interior with deep red carpets to match. The 3.5 litre V8 engine has been completely rebuilt along with the 4 speed automatic transmission, brakes and suspension. The tight fitting six layer convertible top has also been renewed.

Wiring and all electrical components replaced.

As this beautiful 280SE was previously registered in the UK it will not attract import tax and re-registration with the DVLA a matter of process. We request that buyers outside of the UK satisfy themselves regarding Tax and Duties as the car is currently registered in Australia but will be sold via the UK with customs clearance.

This resplendent and truly rare example is worthy of serious consideration as prices for the more abundant left hand drive model have topped $425,000 recently.

Registration: 784 YUE Chassis Number: 96R0499636 Engine Number: not known Year of Manufacture: 1950 Estimate (£): 15,000 - 18,000

Introduced in 1948, the F-Series was the first post-war series of pick-up trucks and commercial vehicles produced by the Ford Motor Company. In a break from previous Ford trucks, the F-Series was no longer based upon a car chassis but on a dedicated truck platform. Remaining in production until 1952, the F-Series trucks were assembled at 16 different Ford factories. Serial numbers indicate the truck model, engine, year, assembly plant and unit number. Most common model was the F-1 with a 6 ½-foot bed followed by the F-2 and F-3 Express models with an 8-foot (2.4 m) bed.

Powered by a jaw dropping Mercury V8 Flat head engine, this fabulous left-hand drive 1950 F2 Pickup truck has had a reported in excess of £20,000 spent on it in the last four years. We are told the engine rebuild alone cost in excess of £4,000.

Imported from the United States in early 2011 and purchased by the current vendor in March of that year, ‘784 YUE’ was first registered in the UK in September 2011.

The last owner, prior to the car being exported, served in the American Air Force and only used the pick-up sparingly during 35 years of ownership. Included in the sale is a letter from the last US owner to the current vendor confirming these details.

The current vendor informs us that once he purchased this pick up it was subject to a ground-up, no expense spared restoration. The pick-up underwent a full bare metal re-spray and was stripped, refurbished, re-painted and re-assembled.

Paintwork, mechanical, trim, engine and tyres were all replaced, rebuilt or refurbished. The bodywork has been repainted in expensive two-pack paint to obtain a high gloss blue finish while the rear deck / flat bed is fitted with solid oak flooring which is reported to have cost over £1,000.

Since restoration and rebuild of the V8 engine, this truck has had very little use, having travelled just 20 miles and 36,467 unwarranted miles overall. With the current vendor not getting the time to use this wonderful vehicle it is offered here for sale. Supplied with a full V5C, this 1950 Ford F2 V8 Pick Up is both MoT and tax exempt.

Designed by notable Italian automobile designer Mr Giorgetto Giugiaro for Ghia, the De Tomaso Mangusta was first introduced in 1967. Only 401 cars were manufactured until production ceased in 1971 with its successor being the wellknown De Tomaso Pantera. Housing a 4.7-litre 289 cubic inch Ford V8, mated to a five-speed ZF manual transmission, the Mangusta was reputedly serving out over 300bhp. In standard trim, the specification included all-round disc brakes, four wheel independent suspension and electric windows - a luxury for a supercar of its time. When opened to reveal the beautiful V8 engine, the unique design of the two ‘clamshells’ gives the Mangusta an unforgettable silhouette that even a non-petrol head would appreciate.

We are proud to offer this exquisitely restored to original specification Mangusta. This ‘twin headlight’ model is presented in Red with a Black leather interior, and is a left-hand drive European car that was sold new to a Mr Norman Dube of Nova Scotia, Canada.

The history file contains extensive bills exceeding $70,000 from the aforementioned restorer detailing all works undertaken. A must-have feature on any car in California is air-conditioning and this too was fitted at the time of restoration.

After a decade of enjoyment from the Mangusta, the second keeper sold the car in August 2012, to the would-be purchaser, a British businessman, who resided in Sai Kung, Hong Kong. It was he who imported the car back to the UK in June 2013 and registered the car ‘HHY 59G’. Our vendor purchased the car earlier this year and sent it to well-known specialist Simon Furlonger for a full service and MoT, whilst also attending to a few minor niggles that were remedied easily enough.

Introduced by Ferrari at the Paris Salon in 1975, the Pininfarina designed 308 GTB model became the firm’s second V8-engined road car, sporting a 3.0-litre engine capable of producing 255bhp and a top speed of 150 mph. Initial production commenced with a the dry sump engine and glassfibre bodywork, in Italian, ‘Vetroresina’, with later cars having a more traditional wet sump engine. This was the first time Ferrari has used this material for the bodywork and still to this day there is much discussion as to why they choose to go down this route. The official factory figures state that only 808 ‘Vetroresina’ cars were produced in total with the UK receiving a small share of just 154 right-hand drive cars, making it a rare and exclusive Ferrari to own today.

Owen for a Mr F. Merli of Romford, Essex.

A retrim of the interior was carried out in 1997 by Nu-Trim at a cost of £1,750, with the car still looking fresh in-side some 17 years later. The vendor informs us that an ‘engine-out’ service was carried out in 2013 with a new clutch being fitted at the same time.

This rare right-hand drive UK-spec car bears the all-important chassis number #20637, and is finished in Rosso Corsa Red with Nero trim and Rosso inserts inside the cabin. The car is in outstanding condition in every way with the paint finish gleaming front to back.

All of the original service books and hand books are in place in the leather document wallet. Also included in the history file is every MoT certificate from 1981. The odometer now reads a warranted milage of 71,637 miles and the car is to be sold with a V5c, a fresh MoT until October 2015 and road tax paid until March 2015.

The Porsche 911 is a timeless design and the car dominated its class as soon as it was launched in September 1963. The name ‘Targa’ came from the Targa Florio road race in Sicily, in which Porsche had notable success, 11 victories in total.

Porsche had, at one point, thought that the U.S. Safety Administration would outlaw fully open convertibles so came up with an ingenious approach to the first soft-top 911. The Targa featured a hefty roll-over bar to protect the occupants in the event of an inversion, together with removable roof and rear hood sections, which were storable in the boot.

“LGC 691T” is a left hand drive, 3.0-litre Targa SC Sportomatic built in 1978 for the European market. It was first registered in the UK in January 1984 and since that time has only had four keepers, the current owner keeping the car for the past 12 years.

First introduced in 1959, the Mini is the most famous small car in the world. The inventor, Sir Alec Issigonis, and friend, John Cooper, could both see the potential of the car in competition and their joint vision lead to the Morris Mini Cooper first appearing in 1961. Their development and evolution eventually led to the Austin Mini Cooper S appearing in 1963, and they went on to claim world-wide success in both rallying and racing with the versatile and nimble Mini. The Cooper S’s iconic appeal as a sportier version of the Mini was specifically underlined by its success at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967, as well as its appearance in the 1967 British film The Italian Job, in which Minis and Mini Coopers play a key role in a bank heist.

This left-hand drive Austin Mini Cooper S 1275cc left the factory on the 12th July 1966 on its way to Honolulu, Hawaii.

It returned to Chandler, Arizona on mainland USA only a few years ago. It was repatriated to the UK in early 2014, where it was treated to a complete restoration and rebuild from the ground up. Fortunately, having come from a hot and dry climate, the bodywork was virtually “rust free” according to the current owner.

The shell was completely stripped and media blasted with the only body parts replaced being the front wings and front panel - only because of minor dings and dents.

Despite its name, the two-door Continental was produced principally for the domestic home market with just 208 built, 165 of these in right-hand drive guise. Like many handcrafted coach-built cars of the period the chassis were produced at the Rolls-Royce Crewe factory and shared many components with the standard R-Type. Coachwork for the majority of cars was completed by H. J. Mulliner & Co. who mainly built them in Fastback Coupé form. A definitive style of coachwork, the lightweight, aluminium wind tunnel-developed fastback of H.J. Mulliner centred strongly on keeping weight to a minimum in order to retain as much power and performance as possible.

The Mercedes 280SL ‘Pagoda’ was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971. The W113 was then replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 evolved from a ‘sports car’ into a comfortable ‘grand tourer’ and was usually equipped with the four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The obvious change from its predecessor was the upgrade to the 2778cc M130 engine, which purists will tell you, finally gave the Pagoda adequate power. Now suitably refined, the car proved popular in the US market, however we’ve seen a significant increase in demand here in the UK, partly due to the 190SL rising beyond the budgets of many.

This 280SL is an original right-hand drive UK car and is offered in all-round good order. The underside of this car is solid throughout and shows none of the tell-tale signs of corrosion or poor repair synonymous with some Pagodas, suggesting that it has been cherished and well kept.

The car was restored in the early 2000s and has travelled very few miles since. The panel fit for this car is again commendable with the paintwork in similarly worthy condition sporting an

46

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day One

unusual 571 Red colour which suits the car exceptionally well and complements the Black leather interior beautifully. The hard-top, included with the car, is not currently in the same order as the rest of the vehicle and is in need of complete restoration. The previous owner preferred to enjoy his Mercedes on sunny days and largely for local journeys. The dashboard shows no sign of fading and cracking as we often see on cars of this type, the soft-top is in almost brand new condition and fits snugly to the windscreen when in place.

With prices of these motor cars rising rapidly, particularly on highly soughtafter 280SL models with the 2778cc engine, we feel we’ve guided this car very sensibly in order to allow a new owner to add the last ten per cent of detail to really make this car top-drawer.

Attention to the hard-top is necessary to marry this up to the standard of the car.

In standard specification and offered with UK V5C registration and fresh MoT, owner’s handbook but regrettably no other documentation, this fine Pagoda is a sensible choice for a privateer owner to secure and add-value as they use and enjoy their classic Mercedes.

The Bentley ‘S1’ saloon was first announced in 1955 to replace the successful ‘R’ type. It was a larger five or six seater saloon with a pressed steel body and aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid. It featured the straight sixcylinder 4887cc engine from the Bentley Continental and the equivalent model from Rolls Royce was the ‘Silver Cloud 1’.

1966 Porsche 904-6 Carrera GTS Recreation

Registration: FNA 57C Chassis Number: 351694 Engine Number: 6461452 Year of Manufacture: 1966 Estimate (£): 75,000 - 90,000

This bespoke 904/6 GTS recreation has been finished to a staggering degree of detail. The fastidious owner, himself a skilled Porsche enthusiast, went to incredible lengths to ensure the build was as true and accurate to the original cars as possible. Completed over the course of four years from 2009-2013, this left-hand drive 904/6 GTS was a collaboration between the vendor and Martin & Walker, the country’s leading Porsche 904 GTS experts. In the words of the experts, this car is: “an exacting reproduction of the legendary Porsche 904/6, considered by many to be the most beautiful car ever built by Porsche”.

The vendor’s specification was to create: “a car that looked like one of the original 4-cam models that had been converted to a 6-cyliner engine,” as many were in period. The bodywork is original specification glass fibre with moulds having been taken from an original 904, the chassis is an accurate copy of the original box section pressed steel perimeter chassis.

The engine is a 2.5 litre short-stroke twin plug engine, based on a 2.7 911 crankcase with 2.2 crank and 10:5:1 JE pistons producing 220bhp @ 7800rpm.

It is equipped with a pair of triple-choke Weber 40IDA’s and has a lightened flywheel along the lines of the factory

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day One

911R/906 and alloy clutch pressure plate. In addition the gearbox is a close ratio 5-speed 914 transmission with 904 mainshaft and there are two choices of exhaust, either open megaphones or a slightly quieter street exhaust (copied from an original). In essence, there is very little on this car that differs from 1 of the 120 original examples. Even the interior is a work of art with correct switchgear/ instrument layout and correct Les Leston wooden steering wheel. Total weight comes to a correct 700 kilograms.

Anyone who either owns an original 904/6 GTS or simply aspires to, is urged to take a closer look at this car. Registered in the UK and dated as a 1966 Porsche, it is both the owner’s and our belief that with minor changes, specifically the rear brakes to solid discs and smaller callipers, along with an original-spec 2.0 litre engine, it should be possible to obtain HTP papers allowing the car to be used in historic events. Accompanying the history file is a large number of pictures detailing the build, bills for parts, a current MoT certificate and a copy of a 904 GTS driver’s manual. Very rarely does a recreation come up for sale that is indistinguishable from the original car in both looks and mechanical experience.

This fantastic 904-6 does just that without the buyer having to spend over 1 million pounds for a real one.

The Thunderbird was Ford’s response to General Motors and their Chevrolet Corvette. When introduced in 1955 it outsold the more expensive Corvette by 24:1 as a direct result of its clean styling, creature comforts and V8 refinement.

Now rightly becoming recognised as a “blue oval icon” the model now features in many serious and noted collections.

This 1955 T-Bird offered for sale is presented in Blue and furnished with black vinyl. The car has resided in the UK since 1963, hence the suffix ‘A’ registration plate. A copy of the original ‘buff’ log book from 1963 shows the first three owners and supports the early history of the car.

It’s unusual for a US car to house a manual gearbox, but that’s exactly what this car has got - a three-speed manual to be exact, married to a correct 292 cubic inch 4.8 litre V8, which runs smoothly upon start up.

Looking through the history file, we believe that the car was restored between 2001 - 2004, as there are receipts for body panels shipped over from Mac’s Auto Parts of Lockport, New York State, a classic Ford parts specialist.

Being a slightly older restoration, the car would benefit from some cosmetic improvements such as some fresh paint and attention to some of the chrome in areas where it has pitted, although this isn’t critical to enjoy the car.

The white glass-fibre hardtop fits wells and the soft top hood collapses away behind the seats of the car. An aftermarket rear bumper continental kit is also fitted to the car, but can be removed easily if not to one’s taste.

This useable T-Bird is ready for a new owner to enjoy at a very realistic guide!

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 2+2 Coupé

Registration: 507 RAE Chassis Number: 1S70954 Engine Number: 7522185B Year of Manufacture: 1971 Estimate (£): 28,000 - 32,000

A host of changes were made to the E-Type for its Series III incarnation. A new 5.3 litre V12 engine was introduced as well as uprated brakes and power steering.

The short wheelbase fixed head coupé body style was discontinued and the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The car was easily identifiable from earlier models by the large crossslatted front grille, flared wheel arches and a badge on the rear that proudly states what lies under the bonnet.

Finished in stunning Ducati Blue with contrasting leather interior, ‘507 RAE’ was originally dispatched from Browns Lane to the US as a left hand drive series III V12 Coupé 2+2. This most visually striking 1971 four-speed manual car was converted to right hand drive when repatriated in 1990 and has had substantial amount of money spent on it this year.

Benefiting from a restoration process, we are informed that this included a no expense spared bare metal re-spray with doors off, chrome off and windows out. The vendor advised that no filler was used in the process while a new bonnet and front cone were fitted. A documented and detailed photographic record is available of this process.

The car was then painstakingly recarpeted and re-trimmed inside with

50

new leather interior and fitted with new roof headlining, new seatbelts and a new period steering wheel. The old chrome around the outside of the car was taken off and re-chromed and the wheels were buffed, which we are informed took 20 hours to complete. We are told the car has recently had a detailed engine service costing in excess of £2,000 and all fluid levels are now clean and fresh. A new electronic ignition was also fitted, a new exhaust and four new Pirelli P4000 super touring tyres all round.

The car presents very well and the chrome shines like it should. Upon opening the doors you really feel like you are walking back in time. Once inside the leather interior feels soft and supple and as you look up the roof lining looks sharp.

When you place your hands on the new wheel and start her up, the 5.3 litre V12 is on the button and sounds fabulous.

The vendor informs that this beautiful car drives very well, with a speedometer currently showing a mileage of 69,931 unwarranted miles. The car will be supplied with a full V5C, a current MoT certificate that expires on the 02/07/2015 and a history file including nine previous MoT certificates plus the detailed photographic record of the bare metal re-spray.

Often cited by enthusiasts as “the last real Porsche” the 993 straddles the bridge between pure high performance driving thrills, visceral dynamics, and appealing design-led solutions to emissions and safety requirements.

The Targa, introduced for the 1996 model year, changed the future of Porsche Targa roof designs by being an all-glass retractable surface rather than removable panels - cementing the link between heightened functionality and aesthetic form demanded by buyers from the 1990s onwards.

Delivered new by Evans Halshaw Porsche in 1996 to its first owner, a Mr Derek of Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire, this much sought after manual 3.6 Varioram engined Targa, is finished in Polar Silver with a Flamenco Red leather interior, including full leather rear seats - an option rarely chosen at the time. Other standout options on this car include; Hardback Sports Seats, 17” split rim alloys, a leather steering wheel, air conditioning and remote central locking.

The service history and documentation that accompany this car can only be described as immaculate, containing all original books and driver manuals and

The car was purchased by Mr Berman of Pulborough, West Sussex in September 2000. After the passing of Mr Berman, the car was bequeathed to Mrs Berman, who kept it until April 2014, when the current owner purchased the car. Since then the car has undergone a major service at Porsche Byfleet (500 miles ago) and the alloy wheels have been refurbished, with new Pirelli P-Zero tyres fitted. Being a strong believer in maintaining the car to its fullest, the current owner has recently had the bonnet, bumper and front wings resprayed (since the car was photographed) to ensure the car remains at its best. At the same time, the engine bay, interior and exterior of the car were fully detailed.

Showing a warranted 55,570 miles on the odometer, this beautiful Targa comes with an MoT until March 2015 and road tax paid until August 2015, as well as the V5C registration document.

Rarely do vehicles of this superb nature come to market, and with a solid Porsche service history to boot, this future classic is ready to be driven, as was intended.

1970 Porsche 911 2.2 S Targa

Registration: SJI 1566 Chassis Number: 9111310685 Engine Number: 6311671 Year of Manufacture: 1970 Estimate (£): 70,000 - 85,000

First introduced to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the Porsche 911 has now been in production for over fifty years. From its original production car base the 911 has become one of the most successful competition cars of all time, both as a circuit racer and rally car.

As early as 1965 the ‘Works’ entered a 911 SWB in the Monte Carlo Rally, within two years Vic Elford was winning rounds in the European Championship. Race input had resulted in revised suspension pickup points and Koni dampers that were incorporated and enhanced the 911 ‘S’.

In the early seventies, Porsche were in a rich vein of competition success and this was directly fed down to their road cars.

The 2.2 S was introduced in August 1969 and was manufactired for a little over a year before being superseded by the 2.4 S. Subsequently, only 729 examples were manufactured in 1969 and 788 examples in 1970.

The subject of a restoration between 1999-2001, the car is finished in its original colour of Porsche light yellow with black leather and alcantara sports seats interior and has covered less than 10,000 miles since. There are pictures of the restoration in the history file, along with books, tools, and service history including previous MoT certificates and invoices for work carried out. The car retains its original engine (as confirmed by a certificate of authenticity), Fuchs alloy wheels, a stainless steel exhaust system and is supplied with a current MoT. Silverstone Auctions recently sold a 2.4 S Targa for £195,000, which makes this example a very attractive proposition at today’s guide price.

This 911 extremely rare 2.2 S Targa left the factory in late 1970 and was sold new in the U.S.A in 1971 where it was reputedly purchased new by an actor form the TV show “CHiPs”. The car was brought to the UK in 1979 and was subsequently converted by a Porsche dealer to right-hand drive. It was then dry stored between 1984 and 1999.

When General Motors acquired Group Lotus during 1986, Corvette approached Lotus with plans to develop the C4 Corvette into the world’s fastest production car. Under the watchful eye of GM, a new engine was designed by Lotus to replace the standard C4 power plant, the ‘L98’ V8. The ‘LT5’ engine was bornan aluminium block V-8 with the same bore centres as the ‘L98’, but fitted with four overhead camshafts and 32 valves.

Lotus also designed an air management system that closed eight of the 16 intake runners and fuel injectors to provide a wider power band when used under part throttle, whilst still giving the engine optimum BHP when running under full throttle.

This excellent example of a Corvette ZR1 is being offered for sale from its first and only owner who purchased and imported the car from Criswell Chevrolet in 1990.

The car was optioned from new with the desirable and costly ‘ZR1 Performance Package’ which, from looking at the cars excellent history file, cost at the time of purchase $28,111.

The car was also ordered so early in the production of the ZR1 that it is one of the very first cars built being chassis number 00441 denoting it as the 441st car off the line - making its build date late 1989 and

being first registered 13/03/1990 in the UK. If all this wasn’t enough to make the car stand out from the rest of the crowd, the car has subsequently covered a mere 10,236 warranted miles from new!

This is supported of course not only by its one and only owner but also by the excellent history file with the car which documents all the cars history from new and includes items such as the original bill of sale, import documents, all MOT’s and service/maintenance history of the car.

The car comes with two T-Top roof options of a solid steel roof and the optional black tinted panoramic roof.

The latter brightens the interior vastly, with almost no noticeable colour change between the roof and body colour. The car was also fitted with an uprated 1991 specification front bumper assembly and side vents with the original side vents included in the sale. Also included in the sale is a pair of new original fitment rear Goodyear Eagle tyres.

This is an excellent example of a future classic that ticks all the boxes in terms of ownership, mileage and history.

1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster

Registration: NNB 259G Chassis Number: 1R8948 Engine Number: TBA Year of Manufacture: 1969 Estimate (£): 45,000 - 50,000

In 14 years of production Jaguar made no less than 70,000 E-Types. Demand remained high throughout its life due to its stunning looks, high performance, competitive pricing and a comment from a certain Enzo Ferrari that it was the most beautiful car in the world. The Series II is consistently regarded as the best to drive, not least because of the refinements that had evolved from seven years production of the Series I, and the fact that British Leyland hadn’t yet arrived to mess it up!

This Series II 4.2 Roadster is one of just 8,628 produced which feature open headlights, a wraparound rear bumper, repositioned larger front indicators and tail lights below the bumpers. It was also better cooled by its enlarged ‘mouth’ and twin electric fans and also featured better brakes.

Originally delivered to the USA, this particular example has spent most of its life on the other side of the pond until being repatriated to UK shores earlier this year. Whilst in America it was owned by just one gentleman from 1987 until his passing early this year, after which the car was purchased by our vendor from his estate sale.

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day One

For much of its stateside ownership the car was much coveted but rarely used and in the final years was subject to a complete strip down and sympathetic restoration by its long-term owner to retain the cars fantastic original condition.

Unfortunately in the very final stages of the car’s restoration the previous owner fell ill and passed away and the cars rebuild was never fully finished.

Our vendor on receipt of the car set about the final stages of the restoration, which entailed fitment of a new fuel tank and fuel lines and refurbishment of the brakes. Several other finishing touches were completed such as the re-foaming of the original seats and a general tune up and service of the engine.

When the car was sold via the deceased estate sale in the USA unfortunately all documentation of the car and evidence of the rebuild was lost. As such the car is presented with a copy of the US Title document showing the long term ownership, invoices of work undertaken whilst in the UK, a current MoT showing no advisories and a UK V5C document.

However this Jaguar presents superbly and is sure to make someone proud to own for many years to come.

Further reading uncovered the most fascinating story of a road-going Aston Martin DB2/4 fresh from the showroom in 1954 with barely a modification to be seen before its then privateer owner, Frank Defty, lined up against the stiffest of competition.

Maserati, plus an assortment of Aston DB3 and DB3S’s, Frazer Nash, Cooper Bristol and a Lotus driven by a certain Colin Chapman? It’s extraordinary. To make matters worse, the weather was appalling and the drivers had to do a Le Mans start. Defty would have found himself dashing across the tarmac with Carroll Shelby, Roy Salvadori, the Marquis de Portago and Tony Brooks amongst others. What they must have thought is anyone’s guess, but hats off to him. He finished last of course, but at least he didn’t crash. Unlike Chapman!”

“I was aware that enthusiasts of the early Feltham DB models knew that a DB2/4 had raced at the inaugural meeting at the Aintree race circuit, but that it had been ‘lost’ and nobody knew of its whereabouts.

That first Aintree meeting was unique in that the circuit was raced anti-clockwise.

Amongst the photographs of my car was UPC 893 in torrential rain at what looked like Aintree, and travelling in an anticlockwise direction...”

Seemingly unperturbed by poor weather and a competitive field, it seems the defiant Defty and his trusty showroomfresh, mere one-month old DB2/4 - sporting just a set of hot plugs and heavy-duty shock absorbers by way of ‘competition tuning’ - had entered the 2,000 miles of RAC International Rally which comprised closed stages, hill climb courses and track action to complete.

Shortly after, now undoubtedly hooked, Defty and UPC 893 were seen on track at Goodwood, Oulton Park and Snetterton.

“How he got an entry for the Aintree meeting I will never know! Can you imagine entering a standard DB2/4 against the might of three Ecurie Ecosse Le Mans Jaguars, HWM Jaguar and

the car for a period before storing until 1974. At this time the car was acquired

by Mr Harry Gadsby reputedly for just £950.00 needing recommissioning. It remained with Gadsby for four years before being damaged in a garage fire which caused damage to the bonnet and roof from falling debris. Now damaged, the car was purchased by restorer Alan Ball who set about repairing the car and restoring what was required. These remedial works were completed to a high standard and the car repainted in the striking British Racing Green colour as it still wears today. ‘UPC 893’ was subjected to just mild use upon completion before again being entered into long-term storage for what would be a further 20 years...

It is a reflection of the underlying condition of the car that, upon discovery and purchase in 2007 by our vendor, all that was required in its recommissioning was to remove, clean and seal fuel tank, blow-out fuel line and clean fuel pump and carburettors. The front wheel bearings were renewed and brake shoes checked. All oil was drained from the sump, gearbox, rear axle, front suspension and steering spindle, the engine flushed, oil-filter changed and all refilled with oil as appropriate.

This Aston Martin looks sensational; unmolested, completely authentic and proudly bearing the patina of a car that’s driven.

Whilst in storage through the winter the car is often cranked over on the handle, which itself still resides within the clasps which are built to accommodate it in the engine bay.

Journalist, Richard Meaden, in an article from Vantage magazine, Summer 2013, summarises: “I can wholeheartedly attest to UPC 893’s magical charisma, and to [the owner’s] enthusiasm for the car and its unique story. Of course, it’s no DBR1, but if you’re a sucker for the romance of a man who bought a new Aston Martin in 1954, decided to take it racing and rubbed shoulders with the greats then this DB2/4 is just about as good as it gets...”

The sTory of AlisTAir hibberT and his delightful DB2/4 is far from ordinary. A fascinating tale of serendipity, curiosity and good old-fashioned detective work, the fact it all began somewhat by accident only enriches the yarn.

‘I’d actually gone out with the intention of buying an E-type roadster,’ explains Hibbert with a chuckle. ‘The chap I was talking to about the Jaguar was a good friend, so I’d always known about the DB2 he’d got tucked away at the back of a farm building. He didn’t use it, but never seemed in a hurry to get rid of it either, so it was just part of the furniture.

‘As chance would have it, when I arrived to look at the Jag, he was washing the Aston. As it had been languishing in the barn for more than 20 years, I was surprised to see the car out. I asked, why the sudden urge to clean it, and he told me he was going to sell it. We had a chat, came to a deal, and I rather inadvertently became an Aston Martin owner.’

This rather unconventional entry into Aston Martin ownership is a great story in itself, but things were to take a remarkable turn when Hibbert was looking over his new purchase and found some old photos and AMOC membership documents in the boot.

‘I was tidying the car out when I found some old AMOC membership material and some black and white photographs. The AMOC stuff was from the mid-1950s and the chap had an unusual name. Don’t ask me why, but I decided to trace him through Companies House, eventually managing to get hold of his son by telephone.

When I mentioned Aston Martin he immediately said “Ah, you must have bought Dad’s car!” We had a good chat, and a few days later a load of fascinating photos arrived in the post and I began to piece together the car’s history.’

The mystery gentleman in question was Frank Defty. He bought the car new in early 1954 and almost immediately 8 0 S P R I N G 2 0 1 3 A S T O N M A R T I N Q U A R T E R LY

58

embarked on a quite remarkable foray into the world of motorsport. Hibbert picks up the story again.

‘I was aware that enthusiasts of the early “Feltham” DB models knew that a DB2/4 had raced at the inaugural meeting at the Aintree race circuit, but that it had been “lost” and nobody knew of its whereabouts. That first Aintree meeting was unique in that the circuit was run anti-clockwise. Amongst the photographs of my car I found one [reproduced above] of it racing in torrential rain at what looked like Aintree. And it was travelling in an anti-clockwise direction…

‘The more I delved into UPC 893’s history, the more amazed I became by Frank Defty and what he did with the car. Within a month of purchasing it, he entered the RAC International Rally, which comprised 2000 miles of road and closed stage driving, including race circuits and hillclimb courses.’

A novice competition driver, Defty’s experiences on the RAC Rally must have really had him hooked, for in short order he entered a race at Goodwood, others at Oulton Park and Snetterton, and that history-making event at Aintree. It’s a mark of how relaxed motorsport was back then that the only tuning and preparation UPC 893 received was a set of hot plugs and heavy-duty shock absorbers. Still that didn’t deter Defty, nor did it preclude him from entering the equivalent of a modern-day British GT Championship race in what was very definitely an allbut-standard road car.

‘How he got an entry for the Aintree meeting I will never know!’ laughs Hibbert. ‘Can you imagine entering a standard DB2/4 against the might of three Ecurie Ecosse Le Mans Jaguars, HWM Jaguar and Maserati, plus an assortment of Aston DB3 and DB3Ss, Frazer Nash, Cooper Bristol and a Lotus driven by a certain Colin Chapman?

What they must have thought is anyone’s guess, but hats off to him. He finished last of course, but at least he didn’t crash. Unlike Chapman!’

Perhaps surprisingly, Defty didn’t keep the car for long, selling it after not much more than a year – ‘One careful owner, never raced or rallied’ – at which point its history becomes rather patchy. Indeed it’s not until the mid-1980s that Hibbert is able to pick up the tale, when UPC 893 came very close to meeting a grisly end.

‘The car was for sale at a dealer’s in Measham. The building caught fire, and although UPC was saved, burning material had fallen onto the car from above and badly damaged the bodywork. My friend acquired the car and subjected it to a very thorough restoration. It was at this point that the car changed from its originally silvergrey to British Racing Green. When the work was completed he entered it into a show at Finmere Airfield and won “Best Post-War Sports Car”. This was the only event he did with the car and it got stuck at the back of his barn, which is where it stayed for 20 years – until I came along in 2007.’

Since then Hibbert has made up for the two decades of mothballing, using the DB2/4 frequently in the sound 8 2 S u m m e R 2 0 1 3 v A N TA g E

The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint coupé and used the shortened floor-pan from the Giulia saloon car. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial projects. It borrowed heavily from his earlier design for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint/2600 Sprint. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered groundbreaking styling features for the era.

Often considered as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars with its five-speed gearbox, all round disc brakes, independent suspension and torquey engine they were very advanced for the time and have the capability to embarrass many of their modern counterparts.

This charming Alfa Romeo GT Junior is an original left-hand drive example and was sold new in sunny Italy. Subsequently, the body work is highly original order.

The car was imported from Italy 8 years ago and has been kept in dry conditions both on and off the road since. There are some recent MoT certificates and some invoices in file.

Described by the vendor as “in wonderful original condition, with no rust whatsoever having never been restored with original engine gearbox and running gear,” the car is finished attractively in white with black interior. It has covered a believed genuine 65,000 kilometres and would make an absolutely ideal entry into the world of classic cars. Offered at a most sensible estimate, come and grab yourself a slice of affordable Italian exotica.

The Lotus Elan burst onto the scene in 1962 as the first road-going Lotus to use the now synonymous combination of a steel back-bone chassis coupled to a separate fibreglass body. Colin Chapman proudly announced in the launch literature that “We wanted to build you a fun car..”; a brief he achieved with vigour thanks to the fact that his unequalled talent for vehicle set-up was never more prevalent than in the Elan’s performance.

Throughout it’s 10 year production-run, the Elan was always a darling of the motoring press. Renowned motoring wordsmith John Bolster proclaimed “Every home should have one!”

Reporting 118 B.H.P, a 122mph top-speed and the 0-60mph dash in a shade under 7 seconds, the S4 S/E was no slouch, benefiting from a close-ratio gearbox and servo assistance on the brakes to bring everything to an efficient halt. The delightful Series 4 with it’s subtle flaring of the arches and the inclusion of a bonnet bulge, also featured new rearlight clusters and a myriad of interior trim improvements.

The Elan had a highly respected record in competition, achieving excellent results in racing with Jim Clark commenting “the ride is superb, and the handling is even better!”

The Datsun ‘Z’ had an immeasurable record in competition, achieving excellent results in both racing and rallying, earning the car a deserved reputation for ruggedness and reliability. Carefully gas-flowing the cylinder head, increasing compression ratios, fitting high-lift performance camshafts and the use of Mangoletsi-type inlet manifolds with triple 40 DCOE carburettors, along with 6-into-1 exhaust manifolds and straightthrough exhaust systems, led to power outputs in excess of 190 B.H.P and 0-60 mph times of around the 6 seconds mark.

Thoughts of replicating the same are what led to the procurement of this original right-hand-drive car, offered for sale here.

Nissan GB have themselves commissioned The Z Farm of North Yorkshire - one of the country’s leading Datsun ‘Z’ restorers - to recreate their own ‘as-new’ 240Z. It should come as no surprise to learn then, they were responsible for the comprehensive bare-metal restoration with period modifications, of this superb blue example, detailed as follows:• Strip the complete vehicle to bare shell and carefully assess all components..

• Strip and assess, then fully rebuild a balanced and blueprinted engine to 190 B.H.P fast-road specification with triple weber 40 DCOE carburettors.

• Supply and fit Janspeed 6-branch manifold/exhaust system.

• Upgrade braking system with vented discs and four-pot callipers.

• Fit period 7J x 14 Wolfrace Alloys to clear callipers.

• Rebuild/replace all ancillary items.

A comprehensive history file detailing all of the above work is supplied with the vehicle along with detailed photographs / invoices. It has been estimated that to replicate a similar specification vehicle would today cost in excess of £40,000.

Regularly serviced and maintained since restoration, the last service carried-out in September 2014 (invoice supplied), included a rolling-road Dyno-tune recording 196 B.H.P with 192 lb ft torque.

A 12 month ‘no advisory’ MOT is also supplied.

Rarely available in such condition due to their highly collectable status throughout the world, this outstanding example, showing just 64,924 miles, surely represents a rare opportunity to own a motoring icon.

1962 Sunbeam Alpine Harrington Le Mans

Registration: 2 EGG Chassis Number: B9108952ODHRO Engine Number: TBA Year of Manufacture: 1962 Estimate (£): 20,000 - 25,000

Silverstone Auctions are proud to be offering this particular example of the extremely rare Sunbeam Le Mans Harrington. Purchased by esteemed club racer and Scotsman, John Melvin, in 1962, this car was originally red in colour and registered ‘2 EGG’. It was delivered just in time for the car to be put through its paces in the International Scottish Rally in June of that year.

However, this event was merely a test for John whose ambition it was to enter the 1962 RAC Rally in November. On arrival, much to their surprise, another Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans bearing the registration ‘MEL 63’ had been entered, driven by Peter Pillsworth and editor/ founder of Autosport, Gregor Grant. An impromptu Harrington Le Mans team was formed and the two cars set off with ‘2 EGG’ wearing the number 73.

The car then ‘disappeared’ until it surfaced in Ireland in the 1970s and was later bought by George McWaters. He set about reviving the car which had become very tired. The colour was changed to Forest Green and the car was fitted with an uprated engine bored out to 2-litres with twin 40DCOE Weber carburetors, an alloy cylinder head converted to unleaded along with a high capacity alloy radiator. Uprated brake calipers where also fitted along with adjustable

rear shock absorbers, Minilite style alloys and a new stainless fuel tank. He also retrimmed the original Harrington interior in Biscuit with green piping and green wool carpets and fitted a wood-rimmed steering wheel.

The owner has suffered poor health in recent years and has been unable to use the car. It now has been recomissioned including a brake overhaul with replacement master cylinder, hoses, brake fluid, oil and coolant, and will require careful running in to ensure delivery of its optimum performance.

The MoT is valid until August 2015 and is currently registered with a Northern Ireland V5C. ‘2 EGG’ is steeped in interesting history and surely any new owner would be proud to share the tales of this car’s past.

Similarly, the car would be perfect for someone wanting to revive its rallying/ racing past as the Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans are well know for racing in period, with the sister car ‘MEL 63’ even taking part in the fabled Goodwood Tourist Trophy of 1962.

This truly remarkable original UK, righthand drive Mercedes-Benz 230SL has been subject to a restoration like no other, leaving no piece of metal unturned. Costing approximately £70,000 the restoration took three years for specialists Andrew Flower Associates to complete from 2006 until 2009.

Purchased by our vendor in 2006 the car was in seemingly running and good condition needing just a small amount of TLC here and there. However, on further inspection, the car needed far more work then initially thought. As more areas were investigated more parts of the car was found in desperate need of restoration.

Thus the decision came to either to sell on a car mainly made of filler as a project, scrap it, or do a proper job. Thankfully the latter was chosen to and what began was a complete restoration in the true sense of the word.

Upon completion of the body work the car was professionally painted in its original Hell Beige (Bright Beige) with the restored hardtop finished in its original contrasting Old Brown. The car was then reassembled with the suspension and braking system being refurbished where salvageable or if necessary replaced using new parts. Inside the car was similarly subject to a detailed restoration including a complete retrim and refurbish

To say this is a very very special Jaguar is somewhat of an understatement, we are told by the vendor that chassis no 220693 was built by TWR Jaguar in Oxford in 1991 before being despatched to Brunei having being ordered by the Royal family. The car covered very little mileage in intervening years and was repatriated back to the UK in September of 2002. According to records at its first MOT in the UK in July of 2002 it had a mileage reading of 1412 and as befitting a car of this nature the car then became the property of flamboyant champagne dealer before becoming the property of our vendor.

There’s no doubt about it, this car is as visual as it is all about power, it may be 20 years old, but this Jaguar looks like it’s ready to take on a McLaren P1!

Having owned this car for a long period of time the vendor informs us that the driving experience of this car can only be described as totally addictive if you are a petrol head. Turn the ignition key, hit the starter button and behind your head the Group C derived V6 bursts aggressively into life, harsh metallic whips of sound lash wildly from the engine bay, it’s a noise straight from the Le Mans pit lane.

During the 1960s in Johannesburg, South Africa, Basil Green established a reputation for modifying European saloons to great effect, notably Minis and more latterly Ford Cortinas. In 1969 his imagination was set alight by the arrival of the Ford Capri. Instantly he could see the potential to make a bespoke, more powerful and exciting version for the road. What followed was the birth of the Ford Capri Perana.

and brake shoes on rear meaning this car now stops as well as it goes.

These cars do not come onto the market often, let alone in this superb restored condition. This Ford Perana Capri is arguably the best currently available and was on display at the NEC Classic Motor Show in 2013. The car was sourced by our vendor from inland South Africa and upon receipt it was subject to a complete back to metal, nut and bolt restoration which took place over the last three years.

Under the bonnet the engine was totally rebuilt, retaining the standard bore 5.0 302HO with the fitment of new pistons, rings, rod bolts and shells. The crank was also balanced by Classic and Modern.

The engine was fitted with new Ford X303 roller cam and lifters and also new Trickflow 170 Ally heads bought complete, assembled with springs, valves, retainers and pushrod guides.

The body was media blasted back to bare metal. There was very little rust as it came from inland South Africa but what was there was changed to new metal.

Full photographic history of restoration is included in the sale along with a plethora of invoices and bills. If you’re after a Capri Perana we’re not sure you will find a better car than this. These cars are becoming sought after classics and are an important part of both Ford and Capri history.

The running gear was stripped down and rebuilt with all new suspension bushes replaced, new coilovers on front, gas adjustable shocks on rear and 2.8 single leaf springs fitted. The brake system was also rebuilt with new 2.8 discs and calipers on front with new slave cylinders

We are pleased to offer here a fine replica of the original AC Cobra by RAM Automotive. RAM are the only manufacturer of recreation Cobras to reportedly boast endorsement from Carroll Shelby himself for their accuracy in their design making RAM Cobra’s the finest copies available.

Running gear is courtesy of Jaguar including the E-Type limited slip differential. This capable car is also fitted with upgraded suspension by the respected Harvey Bailey Engineering company, plus uprated front and rear springs and anti-roll bars with Koni dampers.

Constructed in the mid-1990s from the RAM kit, by first owner, Mr P. Cook of Ashbourne, Derbyshire, the fibreglass body of this car is coated in deep Metallic Blue paint with a comfortable Black leather interior. The chassis design from the ‘manufacturer’ is credited to the famous race car designer, Adrian Reynard. Fitted with the J.E. developments 5200cc all-aluminium Rover-based V8 powerplant which is itself equipped with four downdraught Dellorto carburettors, the output on the dyno registers a healthy and potentially hair-raising 319bhp output at 4,250 rpm.

Although previously road-registered and constructed in the mid-1990s from a Jaguar donor car, this car is now sold strictly as a track-day or non-road legal vehicle. Whilst we are exceptionally confident of the car’s ability to pass an MoT test, it’s claimed identity as a Jaguar means it has been refused to be tested.

A new owner is more than welcome, indeed encouraged, to submit this car for an SVA test which it will almost certainly pass, and therefore an MoT could be granted. Guided accordingly to take this into consideration, and at this price surely shouldn’t be ignored.

1952 Morgan +4 DHC Two Seater

IIn 1950 HF. S. Morgan offered his +4 with proper protection from the British weather and a more luxurious ride. The Drop Head Coupé was a rare variant of the +4 range produced from 1950 to 1968.

During this long production, engines for the +4 changed from the 2088cc Vanguard engine to Triumph TR2 and TR3 units. Less than 450 were ordered over the lengthy production run.

Small production figures were probably due to the Coupé’s more expensive price that was required due to the extra complexity of the car. When fully raised, the top worked very well with the lines of the body and offered better protection than the roadster. However, the DHC still retained the detachable side windows.

Unlike the Roadster, the Drop Head Coupé featured a built-up A-panel and fixed front windscreen. Furthermore, fullsize doors were fitted and the interior was outfitted with burled walnut veneer.

As such, the DHC was more elegant car than the Roadster.

This 1952 Morgan 2 Seat DHC is being offered to the public for just the second time since 1964. Owned by our vendor since 2001, prior to his ownership it has had just four previous owners from new.

The car has clearly lived a much loved life as can be seen in its splendid history file which shows that the car has always been well maintained and even includes the cars original ‘buff ‘log book. On top of regular maintenance work in 2005, the car was subject complete retrim and as such is presented in excellent condition all-round.

Further adding to its history, the car it had a brief cameo appearance in an episode of Miss Marple and has also in a feature film titled Queen and Country set for release in January 2015.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a rare, sought-after model from one of Britain’s oldest and most loved motor companies.

More concerned on elegance and luxury than the +4 Roadster, the DHC has one of the lowest production runs in Morgan history making it one of the rarest Morgan’s and one that might become very desirable in the future.

When Ferrari introduced the 308 to the public in 1975 at the Paris Salon, it was the first time that they had chosen to use fibreglass for the bodywork.

The ‘Vetroresina’ as it is known, was manufactured from 1975 - 1977. Only 154 right-hand drive Vetroresinas left the Maranello factory, making it the rarest model 308 money can buy.

Delivered new in 1977 by H.R Owen of Golders Green, London to first owner Mr J. L. Patterson of Edinburgh, this fibreglass bodied example originally left the factory in Rosso Chiaro Red with a Beige Hide and Geige carpets as shown in the history file with the original order sheet date stamped 27th July 1976. In 1986, the owner at the time, a Mr Meak of Glamorgan, Wales, entered the car into the Benson & Hedges Concours in Cardiff where it scored 282 points and coming 7th in class! Three years later, the mileage was recorded at 23,765 miles.

The car then spent a brief spell on the stock list at Modena Engineering from 1990 to early 1991. While at the specialist, £18,000 was spent preparing the car for sale with numerous bills in the history file showing all works that were carried out.

It was in 1991 that the well-known Harrods boss, Mr Mohamed Al-Fayed, purchased the car, now showing 23,800 miles on the odometer. Our vendor, who worked

for the business magnate at the time, maintaining his car collection, remembers the car coming into the collection and comments on how it was rarely taken out on the road, as with many of ‘the bosses’ cars. Mr Al-Fayed’s children organised a charity auction in 2008, and it was there that the car was generously donated as one of the lots in the night’s proceedings.

The next lucky owner bought the car that night and kept it until 2013 when it had reached a total of 25,949 miles, before selling it to our vendor.

In May of this year the car benefitted from a complete engine and gearbox rebuild by Formhalls Vintage & Racing, including new pistons, liners, bearings, shells and valves. A complete step by step photographic record with notes and annotations describing each stage of this mechanical rebuild accompanies the history file, as do the bills totalling some £10,000.

We have had the honour of selling several early Land Rovers and this example of the iconic Maurice Wilks’ design is one of the best we have ever seen.

Painted in the correct Bronze Green for this vehicle’s year of manufacture, the new front and rear seats have been trimmed in the contemporary green and supplied by Tom Pickford. As the pictures confirm this vehicle has been meticulously restored in every detail, with the Land Rover parts manual rigorously adhered to.

Treated as a cherished family heirloom, it was handed down from an uncle to his nephews, thus having been in family ownership for 30 years. This was some 15 years ago and over the last five years a restoration to concours standard was undertaken by the brothers. Since restoration it has only covered 4,800 miles.

The rebuilt 2-litre petrol engine gives huge improvements in reliability, looking very similar in appearance to the original.

The later engine block is known as the ‘spread bore’ engine design, which has a greater gap between the cylinders, thus giving improved reliability and less chance of head gasket failure whilst also reducing the risk of a cracked block.

This happened to the original block of ‘HMR 802’, having become porous 15 years ago and requiring the installation of the rebuilt 1958 unit. Although an MoT is not technically required issuing one in October 2014 was never going to be a concern, such is the confidence in this wonderful example. ‘HMR 802’ is in immaculate “as new” condition and is ready to grace the collection of any discerning Land Rover enthusiast.

The vendor informs us that many parts have been supplied by leading classic Land Rover supplier Dunsfold DLR of Surrey. The restoration includes an overhauled later 2-litre unit, dated 1958 and numbered 111805719. The axles, transmission (oiginal number 261011623) and brakes, including hydraulic components, were also overhauled. The fuel system was replaced including a new-old stock fuel tank.

The XJS Convertible, which first appeared in 1988 at a price of £36,000, was considerably more than merely a coupé with the roof removed. The earlier ‘T’-top cabriolet paved the way as the first open Jaguar since the demise of the E-Type in 1975, but this was to be the first full convertible and a strengthened sub-frame was employed in order to alleviate scuttle shake. It made for a very fine open top grand touring car, exceeding the specification of home grown machinery and being much cheaper than the equivalent and high profile Mercedes SL. Today, this model is very much establishing itself as a most worthy latter day classic, good examples being eagerly sought by connoisseurs of the marque.

Presented arguably in the best colour combination of Metallic Blue with gorgeous Cream leather interior, this particular 1988 XJS V12 Convertible automatic was first registered on the 1st of June 1988. Described by the vendor as in superb original condition, with everything working as it should be, this car must be of serious consideration.

1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SL

Refined drivers from Dallas to Darlington who wanted a brisk convertible sports car that offered reliability adored the Mercedes R107 range. Accustomed to the histrionics of the Italian offerings and the lack of a proper convertible by Porsche, customers flocked to the well equipped SL range. With engine variants and trim levels to suit all tastes, the factory hard top was perfect for the vagaries of British weather. The Mercedes R107 SL is now a well and truly established member of the classic car club, but it also remains one of the most usable modern classics money can buy.

A major facelift in 1985 tidied up the SL’s looks and kept it in the running against newer and more aerodynamic rivals, such as the Porsche 928 and Jaguar XJS. Mercedes also took the chance to replace the 280SL with the 300SL, which boasted a 188bhp six-cylinder engine. Between 1985 and 1989 the well regarded, and less thirsty, 300SL was found to have superior handling compared to the weightier V8 engined variants of its stable mates. The 300SL was the pinnacle of Mercedes engineering until the model was superseded in 1989.

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 as the best-selling car of all time.

This fine example was bought by the current vendor in 2009 in Columbus, Ohio, USA, where he resided at the time. He then moved to the UK a later year and couldn’t part with the car, so it was transported across the Atlantic and registered as a UK vehicle in 2010. It is

The odometer was reset to zero when the car had reached 109,465 miles, and the speedometer head was restored, with the dial now reading 13,277 miles.

The paint is in excellent condition and cannot be faulted, as is the interior which is immaculate. The vendor informs us that the convertible roof was replaced in the last few years, and he choose black mohair to replace the original vinyl roof. Since the car has been in the UK, it has been maintained periodically by well-known performance and tuning specialist, Graham Goode, with invoices in the history file showing work undertaken.

Stored in a dry garage and only driven in good weather, this Karmann Beetle comes from an enthusiastic VW-loving home, with the only reason for sale being that the vendor wishes to undertake a new ‘Vee-Dub’ project.

At the Earls Court motorcycle show in 1955, a new 500 Velocette was introduced, the Venom, a sports version of the MSS. In 1958, a Venom with a few go-fast options was officially clocked at 108mph. For 1959 the Venom actually came in two versions, the standard and the Clubman, the latter having a slightly higher compression (8.75:1), an Amal TT carb and boasting 38hp; this model came with rear-set footpegs, reversed gearshift lever, full width front brake, lower bars.

The RC30, or VFR750R, was the first race replica which was actually a racer too. It was built as a homologation bike to allow Honda to race it in the TTF1 and WSB Championships. Designed by Honda to their exact racing specification, only minimal road going parts were added when it was sold to the public.

The RC30 was also the first production bike in the world to feature titanium alloy, which was used to make the con rods and no expense was spared on the rest of the machine either. Every component was the lightest and most expensive possible for a road bike and the result was a motorcycle which weighed a paltry 185 kilos (407lbs). Six years later Ducati’s legendary 916 would still be heavier!

Each RC30 was hand assembled one at a time in the firm’s Hamamatsu plant where the factory race bikes were built meaning customers were virtually getting their own works bikes built for them.

1990 Bentley Turbo R

What’s in a name? Plenty if that name is Bentley and the subject is big, fast saloons. The Turbo R might have owed a bit to Rolls-Royce in engineering terms (and it did) but the combination of a huge, force-fed V8 and all the pomp and circumstance the Bentley badge conjures up still makes for a package for which the word imposing could have been tailored.

Tailored in Saville Row, at that. Bolting a turbocharger to the V8 gave the R its sub16 second quarter-mile and 220km/h top whack, but making something with its own postcode actually handle was the big rabbit out of the hat. Bentley’s whitecoats sat down and did some figuring. To make it all go round corners, the solution was to boost the roll stiffness by a full 50 per cent.

This beautiful Bentley Turbo R was supplied new by Jack Barclay Ltd of London on the 12th of September 1990, there is a copy of the original sales invoice indicating an on the road price of a cool £95,716.65, not bad considering the average house price in 1990 was around £60,000 pounds. There is also a copy of the factory pre delivery inspection sheet which gives a fascinating read into how these cars were built and tested at the Crewe factory before the days of modern computer systems. The familiar shape of this Bentley silently transmits an aura of understated quality, luxury and

80

absolute comfort. We are informed by the vendor that the current mileage of just under 35,000 is absolutely genuine.

This is supported by previous MoTs and stamps in the service book. The original handbooks and manual are provided along with MoTs dating back to 2006.

The Cream bodywork has a deep lustre throughout, all panels are dent free and all shut lines are reassuringly straight.

Twist the ignition key and the six and three quarter turbo charged V8 fires instantly. We are informed that you merely sit up high and look out over the sea of a bonnet, press the accelerator and the engine simply pulls relentlessly through the rev range. Acceleration is adequate (think more of Business Class in a 747 at take-off speed); the Bentleys accelerative abilities feel as mighty as the rest of the car.

You can sense the superior build quality of these cars in everything from the satisfying thunk of the door as it closes to the high quality finish of the interior and the old world stuff like the organstop controls really do add to the sense of occasion. Sold with an MoT until April of 2015, this Turbo R does make sense for those who prefer the front seat to the back.

It might sound silly, but to some people a normal Rolls-Royce or Bentley is not good enough for them. These people need something special. Two British Coachbuilders were happy to help you out with your Rolls-Royce and Bentley problems: Hooper Coachbuilders of London and Robert Jankel Design (Le Marquis). Hooper Coachbuilders had various coach built creations up their sleeve, using the many years of experience with converting Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and Daimlers for more than 70 years.

We are informed by the vendor that this Hooper cut leviathan doesn’t show its identity easily. ‘You have to get up close.

That’s part of the appeal - it’s discreet.’

Low mileage plus conscientious care over the years have certainly paid dividends and the vendor informs us that the mileage of just 45,000 miles is genuine and is supported by previous MoTs and stamps in both service books.

As such nothing is amiss with the driving experience, it’s the expected and usual wafty and cosseting silky ride, where the driver provides the very minimum of effort. The genteel nature is only disturbed by the sharp brakes and kick down, prompting the otherwise imperceptible automatic gear changes to poke the lazy V8 into some very un-Rolls-Royce like behaviour. The gloss Black paint shows the straight body work off to good effect, the panel gaps are typically excellent for a Rolls-Royce of this era, and the doors shut with a reassuring thunk. The timber woodwork of both dash and doors is in superb fettle and contrast beautifully against the tan interior leather. £1,200 has been spent on interior maintenance and it shows, all seat faces and seat edges are reported to be in excellent condition throughout.

Introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, the famous Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda was produced as a 230 and 250 initially and as a 280 in 1967, all of which were six cylinder and featured multi-port fuel injection. For performance reasons their new Roadster featured aluminium bonnet, boot, doorskins and tonneau cover. Hardtops were optional, but all cars came with a soft-top and their new revised suspension, more powerful brakes, four-speed automatic gearbox and radial tyres.

Porsche introduced the 912 in 1965 as the successor to the 356. It had all the modernity of the 911 combined with the trusted mechanics of the outgoing 356. In 1966 it actually outsold the 911 worldwide, but the UK was slow to acknowledge the great handling and looks of the car while the US market couldn’t get enough.

The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint coupé and used the shortened floor-pan from the Giulia saloon car. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial projects. It borrowed heavily from his earlier design for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint/2600 Sprint. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered groundbreaking styling features for the era.

This Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior is an original right-hand drive car manufactured on the 21st December 1971 and sold on the 23rd December 1971 to the warm Alfa Romeo friendly climate of Nicosia, Cyprus. The car was delivered from new in the striking body colour of Ochre yellow which it is presented in today. The car has been in single-family ownership from new, changing hands just three times from father to his brother and then to his son until it was acquired by our vendor. Throughout its life this little Alfa has always been a much loved and cherished car. So much so, the car was subject to an extensive six year restoration project which was completed

84

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day One

in 2009. The restoration included the fitment of a new dashboard including binnacles as the heat has caused the common Alfa cracked dash problem.

Inside the car the interior trim had also suffered from the heat and was retrimmed in Tan Vinyl as apposed to the factory delivered Black Vinyl. This was to keep the cabin area light and airy and to also stop the vinyl seats becoming hot and uncomfortable, a common problem in all vinyl trimmed motor vehicles. The car was also subject to a complete respray in its original Ochre yellow and upon rebuild new glass and bumpers were fitted. Presented with the car is the very rare original owners hand book and service book along with some photographic evidence of its restoration.

In its original stunning Ochre yellow paint, this car really stands out from the sea of red Alfas that we see so often. We really think that the 105 Series Alfa Romeos are one of the best looking and driving classics you can acquire for a modest outlay. *Please note the car is presented with a FIVA Identity certificate and has no TAX or VAT payable. It also complies with the latest NOVA Import legislation with an approved application. Silverstone Auctions will be happy to help with registration of the vehicle within the UK.

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine ‘Supercar’ that defined the Seventies and Eighties. It was one of the fastest production cars available at the time.

It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0 Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche’s 917/30 Can-Am programme. The bodywork received special treatment to produce one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whaletail. The brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. The final evolution of the 930 Turbo saw the engine capacity increased to 3299cc, with improved upgrades on the intercooler and fitment of the G50 transmission. By 1989, the final year of production, the power had risen to 330bhp.

Some cars need no introduction and the Jaguar E-Type is no exception. Presented in its original colour scheme of Regency Red with a Black leather interior, this manual left-hand drive car sports chrome wire wheels and factory air conditioning.

This car was delivered new to its first owner, a Dr Phyliss and Charles Butler on 12th September 1970, from Encinitas, California, USA, who in turn sold it on 29th October 1974, to a F.W. Steinberger, who kept the car until his death in 2014.

Mr Steinberger was President and Chief Concours Judge of the Jaguar Club of North America for many years, cementing his enthusiasm for the marque further.

In 1997 Mr Steinberger felt that car would benefit from some attention, and being a concours judge no expense was spared in terms of parts or workmanship on a thorough restoration. The car was entrusted to Jaguar marque specialist ‘More Than Just Cars’ of Upland, California to carry out the work, which is recorded photographically in the history file. The glass, chrome, rubber and interior were all removed, so that the car could be stripped back to bare metal, before being etch primed and refinished in its original colour of Regency Red. At the same time, all the chrome was replated and window rubbers renewed. The interior was treated to a retrim which included new seat foam, door panels, carpets, dash top

pad and a new headlining. The car sits on four brand new Dayton wire wheels which are clad with Michelin 185 x HR15 XVS radial tyres. The car still retains its fifth chrome wire wheel and factory Dunlop spare which remains in mint condition, as well as retaining its original pair of yellow and blue Californian license plates and pink slip from 1974. It’s a well-loved and maintained car which reflects in the current mileage of 99,000 miles which is believed original mileage according to Mr Steinberger’s heirs.

The car was also used in many promotional videos and at events, the last being the premiere in Las Vegas of the movie The Mechanic , where the car was driven onto the red carpet by Jason Statham!

Overall, one would be hard pushed to find a better Series II FHC, with an enviable two owner Californian history from new, with the last owner being the custodian for the past four decades. Offered here in its original colours, and with its owners operating manual and warranty booklets in their original Jaguar pouch, this car represents very good value as the cost of E-Type restorations continues to soar.

Please note that this vehicle is currently being registered with the DVLA as a UK car in readiness for the auction.

The Daimler SP250 was produced in Coventry from 1959 to 1964. The SP250 was originally known as the Daimler Dart but Daimler soon dropped the Dart name when threatened with legal action by Chrysler’s Dodge division, and the car was then renamed the Daimler SP250.

It was launched at the 1959 New York Motor Show with a fiberglass body, fourwheel Girling disc brakes, and a 2.5-litre Hemi-head V8 engine designed by Edward Turner. Jaguar bought Daimler in 1960 and were immediately concerned about the chassis flex. To address this they brought out the B-spec. version with extra outriggers on the chassis and a strengthening hoop between the A-posts.

There were also other improvements including an adjustable steering column.

The Talbot Sunbeam-Lotus was one of the most exciting hot hatchbacks to emerge from the 1970s. It originally came about because Chrysler commissioned Lotus to produce an effective entrant for international Group 4 rallying - to beat the dominant Ford Escort RSs at their own game. Lotus took a 1.6GLS shell and installed a 2.2-litre version of the Lotus 16-valve four-cylinder engine and a fivespeed ZF gearbox.

The new Sunbeam-Lotus certainly looked the part - it was initially offered only in black and silver, with Marchal spotlights mounted above the front bumper and tailored ‘double four-spoke’ cast-alloy wheels. Launched in 1979, the 2174cc twin-cam engine breathed through two twin-choke Dell’Orto carburettors, developed 150bhp and delivered excellent performance. It also proved very effective in rallying, winning the challenging 1980 Lombard-RAC event. The road-going version proved quick and balanced, although it was priced higher than the comparable Chevette HS or Escort RS2000.

This particular car is a series 1 model that was first registered in January 1981 and comes in the classic colour scheme of Embassy black with silver strips. The car has been treated to a full restoration, with invoices on file amounting to £20,000.

Much of this work was carried out by marque specialist, Simon Robinson of Darlington. This included a rebuilt gearbox and engine, the latter receiving a new set of pistons, and now putting out a respectable 148 Bhp as a Skip Brown dyno sheet confirms.

Uprated front disc brakes with fourpot calipers have also been fitted, together with coil-over front suspension for enhanced road holding. Since the restoration was completed the car has only covered some 3,000 road miles.

Supplied with all its original handbooks, new MOT and a large history file, including many old M.O.T.’s back to 1988, (at 44,700 miles which has now risen to some 68,799 miles). This is car is in excellent condition throughout and is now a true hot hatch icon- sure to have you grinning from ear to ear!

1954 Jaguar XK120

Registration: EU Registered Chassis Number: 675105 Engine Number: F2256 Year of Manufacture: 1954 Estimate (£): 32,000 - 40,000

Post-war Britain was full of industrial potential despite being war-torn, fiscally challenged and drained of energy after years of fighting. Sir William Lyons however was a man with a dream. In 1948 the Jaguar boss launched what would become the eternal sports car blueprint and the fastest production car in the world. Lyons had spent the war years perfecting an elegant and sleek aluminium body design for his XK120, named for the record-breaking top speed it could achieve. When the world reacted to its launch with more elation than even Lyons could have hoped for, Jaguar struggled to build the XK120 fast enough to meet demand.

In order to meet demand and save time during the build process, pressed steel bodies were used from the spring of 1950 onwards. XK120 production lasted until 1954 and kick-started the world’s love affair with the Jaguar brand. North America took a particular interest and many left Coventry for a passage across the Atlantic.

The Jaguar XK120 Roadster offered here is one of the most important road-going examples to be brought to the market in recent times. This is chassis 675105 which first came to Sweden in the early 90s and is now ready to return home.

This XK120 has been fully maintained by a dedicated technician mechanic over recent years. Work carried out has included a rewire of the electrics and new brakes fitted all round. The 3.4-litre straight-six engine starts on the button and comes with a fresh compression certificate test. Mechanically the car is in fine order but the body needs some TLC to bring the XK120 back to its former glory. This is a great opportunity to finish the restoration yourself and complete the final finish to your own choice of standard.

A former stablemate of some of the world’s most important cars, this XK previously belonged to Lord Anthony Bamford and resided in the famous JCB Historic Collection in Gloucestershire for many years. A detailed history file accompanies this extraordinary XK120 Roadster which also starred in the ‘Marques of a Legend’ video of the mid1980s.

The E-Type may be Jaguar’s most famous model but the XK120 is unquestionably the car that made it all possible. It is without doubt one of the most important British cars of the 20th Century and this is a very fine and highly original example.

Introduced in 1965 the MGB GT was one of the earliest examples of the now popular hatchback car and the large load platform for luggage made the GT a really useful two-seat touring car.

Although the coupé bodywork made the GT much heavier than the Roadster, its shape actually helped the performance with improved aerodynamics and gave the GT a slightly higher top speed than the Roadster and also an improvement in handling.

First registered in June 1967 this very usable Mk.I MGB GT is finished in an unusual Beige colour with Red leather seats piped in White, new Red carpets, period steering wheel, 1798cc engine with 3-synchro gearbox, overdrive and wire wheels. The ultimate specification!

In all round good order, there are a few unfortunate defects in the panel work and the roof would benefit from being painted, however, it does present better than many of its peers and is commensurate with the car’s age. We believe that the car was the subject of

some restorative works in the period to 2005 as the odometer was reset with history picking up from the 2005/2006 MoT at 1,558miles, now showing just 3,578.

It benefits from recent expenditure on a new battery and a check-over and light service by a specialist classic car garage in Farnham to ensure the car continues to start and behaves as it should despite only being exercised on high-days and holidays. It recently enjoyed a threeday trip to the Goodwood Revival and performed faultlessly. This car is an ideal first classic car for someone taking the plunge as it has been for its Londonbased owner for the past 12 months. A lack of suitable storage forces a reluctant sale but he feels the car is just too good to be parked outdoors all winter.

MG’s are very simple to work on if necessary with mechanicals easily accessible and relatively uncomplicated.

The MoT is due to expire in November but a fresh one will be applied before the sale. A fabulous little car which you can’t help but enjoy driving!

Lot 401A SPORTING BEARS MOTOR CLUB - FERRARI LAFERRARI Dream Ride Estimate (£): No Reserve The Sporting Bears Motor Club, known for its fundraising, is offering a thrill ride in a Ferrari LaFerarri on a circuit, raising money for the Acorn Children’s Hospice.

Sporting Bears has become a key attraction of the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show in recent years thanks to its ‘Dream Rides’ - a ten-mile ride as a passenger in one if its incredible selection of cars all owned by Sporting Bears’ members in exchange for a charitable donation.

The Ferrari LaFerrari ride will be slightly different however, with the action being track-based rather than on the public highway, allowing the lucky passenger the opportunity to experience the full power of this phenomenal car.

The track session will take place in 2015 on Silverstone’s GP circuit* with FIA qualified racing driver Paul Bailey at the wheel of the supercar, provided by Horsepower Racing. The car will complete three laps of the 3.66 milelong circuit at race speed. Passengers must be aged 16 years or older.

w ww.silverstoneauctions.com

The LaFerrari represents Ferrari’s most ambitious project yet to push the boundaries of technology on a road car, drawing together the finest expression of the marque’s technical capabilities in both GT and Formula 1 engineering.

Developing 789bhp, the LaFerrari has an additional 161bhp coming from it’s Formula-one inspired KERS system that recovers energy from the Ferrari’s brakes.

The result is a car that develops a breath-taking 950bhp and 664lb ft of torque. Not bad for a £1 million price tag.

The Sporting Bears members give their cars, time and fuel freely so that every penny raised goes to the chosen children’s charities. The money raised from the Ferrari ride will go to the Acorns Children’s Hospice.

The Bears will, on average, give 1,000 dream rides over the three days raising between £35,000 and £40,000 plus gift aid. For as little as £10, you can have a ride in a great British classic. If you’re looking for something ‘super’, expect to pay £100-£120. * subject to availability.

1971 Morris Minor Commercial

Registration: JGU 115K Chassis Number: 305301 Engine Number: Not Specified Year of Manufacture: 1971 No Reserve

The Morris Minor was designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis and over a million were produced between 1948 and 1972. In 1953 the van version was introduced and was intended for commercial small businesses although many found their way in to larger organisations. They became the vehicle of choice for the General Post Office and were seen in the cities, towns and rural England. Nearly twenty percent of all van production became red mail vans.

Offered here is a great Morris Minor Commercial with only four former keepers. It has been restored to a good standard and runs well with its distinctive exhaust note. Its has an MOT until May next year.

A great vehicle for promotional purposes, un-signwritten and ready for work.

www.silverstoneauctions.com

August 1959 saw the birth of the Mini and started a story that continues today. It set new motoring standards which the rest of the industry spent years scrambling to match. However, there was something about the Issigonis-inspired Mini package that could never be replicated. Never before had there been a transverse engine driving the front wheels with a gearbox in the sump. The Mini has continued to make headlines ever since setting milestones along the way.

Perhaps the less noteworthy or palatable was that it caused the collapse of the British motor-cycle industry. It was used

by Royalty, even the Queen was seen driving one in Windsor Park but it was really celebrities that immortalised the early Minis.

The registration number 996 MW was on the car at the time and still remains with it. The Mini was eventually restored some years later by him and is fully documented with a comprehensive amount of photographs.

It went on to win various show events and three trophies remain with the car. The V5 shows that it was passed on to a lady of the same address and shows just one former keeper. The history file contains original handbooks, invoices, promotional items and magazine features of the car.

This is a very charming early Mini with a great history line ready to be used.

1955 Jaguar XK140 FHC

Registration: MFF 689 Chassis Number: 5814496 Engine Number: G7176 Year of Manufacture: 1955 Estimate (£): 45,000 - 55,000

Jaguar cars launched the XK140 at the London Motor Show in October 1954 with a raft of improvements over its predecessor- the XK 120. The styling was improved with a revised grill, larger bumpers along with new rear lights which now incorporated the indicators.

The handling was enhanced by rack and pinion steering and telescopic dampers.

The interior space was improved allowing the addition of occasional rear seats. It was now a real tourer with plenty of power from the 3.4 twin overhead camshaft six cylinder engine, which had powered Jaguar to victory at Le Mans in ‘51 and ‘53.

We are informed by the vendor that this particular XK140 was repatriated to the UK in 1989 and subsequently restored by its then owner and used regularly until a change of ownership some ten years later. A complete ‘body off’ restoration was again undertaken between 2005 to 2008 to prepare a ‘no expense spared’ car for international rally use. MFF 689 bursts instantly into life and soon settles to an even tickover, the car surges forward with the slightest tap of the throttle, but is reported to remain manageable at all times, everything feels tight and well put together.

The vendor informs us of a substantial competition upgrade package which includes a high performance engine

112

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day T wo

mated to a manual gearbox with overdrive, uprated chassis, uprated braking system, improved cooling, uprated suspension, bespoke electrical installation plus all FIA rally requirements to make this one of the most exciting road/rally cars in existence and also boasts current FIA paperwork.

With the additional power on tap we are told the brakes are more than up to the job of bringing things to a predictable halt.

The restoration is reported to have been carried out to a very high standard, the quality of the metalwork is very good with decent panel fit throughout. Internally is very well prepared and the layout of all instrumentation is both clear and secure, the speedometer currently reads just under 8000 miles. The vendor informs us that with the car comes seven history files outlining the full expenditure during and after restoration which make for sobering reading for anybody about to commission an XK140 for restoration and as such makes this particular example amazing value for money. Being a 1955 car there is no MOT certificate however there is tax until February of next year.

This is surely an opportunity to acquire a most potent and competitive XK140 for a fraction of the expense that has been lavished on this beautiful car. All the hard work has been done, now it just needs to driven and enjoyed.

Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model since 1954 when the landmark 300SL was unveiled.

The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars.

The second generation SLs began with the 230 of 1963. It was distinguished by its lower waistline, big curved screens and a distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname, ‘Pagoda’. Over its nine years of production, the second generation SL’s engine grew in capacity from 2.3-litres (230SL) to 2.5-litres (250SL) and finally to 2.8-litres (280SL). The larger, third generation SL was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre V8 engine (350SL) mated to four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension all round - double wishbone and coil springs at the front and semitrailing arms and coil springs at the rear.

The range grew to two models when the 4.5-litre V8 (450SL) derivative arrived the following year, and to three when the 2.8-litre straight-six (280SL) appeared in mainland Europe during 1974.

A rust free example no doubt as a result of being dutifully garaged all her life by her owner from new Mr Fred Williams, the ex-Chairman of Tranmere Rovers Football Club. Mr Williams used the car as his daily drive for the first ten years of ownership before retiring her for weekend and occasional use until ill health in 2005. His son and daughterin- law then took ownership of the car, as shown on the registration documents.

The matching hard top is in very good order as is the genuine OEM soft top which look like new.

This car has benefitted from a recent recommissioning having been garaged and SORN for the past nine years following the previous owner’s ill health. The recent work has included servicing, MoT, brake overhaul and some localised paint refinishing and mechanical refreshing.

It was John Cooper that first realised the tuning potential of the Mini in 1959.

He was impressed with the neutral handling and by 1961 the first Cooper was available. The Mini-Cooper went through many progressions eventually culminating in the 1275 S. Performance motoring was available to an eager public and Cooper owners ranged also from royalty to celebrities alike. The Cooper name continues to flourish in the form of the ‘new’ Mini Cooper to this day.

1973 Ford AVO MKI Escort RS Mexico

Registration: XST 109L Chassis Number: BFANJ00443 Engine Number: TBA Year of Manufacture: 1973 Estimate (£): 18,000 - 22,000

Built at Fords Advanced Vehicle Operations factory in Aveley in January 1973 this vehicle incredibly has a fully traced owner history from new and throughout just six owners. Not only this but the history file contains information on the previous owners, what they did and how they came about the car as well as letters written between them and even old photos! First registered on the 19th April 1973 to first owner Mr G Trill by Ford Main Agent The Endeavour Motor Company in Brighton, who, after two years and 27,500 miles part exchanged the car for an Audi Coupé to Romans of Woking.

Mr Geoff Bishop, the second owner and a Ford Mechanic, was informed of the car by his father who worked at Romans. A letter in the file from Mr Bishop details his fond ownership memories until the sale in 1983 to his friend Derek Horsell who worked at the same garage. In April 1986 Mr Horsell advertised the car for sale as ‘the best Mexico in the country’ for £1,850 and Mr Barrie Robertson flew down from Scotland to secure the car, becoming the fourth keeper for 13 years. Mr Robertson, a bodywork specialist, fitted new front wings and panel only due to taking a dislike to the Monza wing mirrors and spot lamps that had been fitted! The car was then sold by word of mouth to Mr Stephen Farquar in 1999, who after a couple of short journeys, decided to commission the previous owner to carry out a full repaint in the original Daytona Yellow. The previous and sixth owner, Mr Peter Jenkins, convinced Mr Jarvis

116

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day T wo

to part with this wonderful Mexico after becoming increasingly frustrated viewing 15 other ‘genuine’ AVO Mexicos.

This enthusiast owned example is finished in Ford Daytona Yellow (code T) and the highly detailed finish to the paintwork is excellent. The spotless underside enjoys the absence of underseal to showcase the incredibly straight and structurally perfect Type 49 shell, with AVO workmanship laid bare for all to see.

Attention to detail and correct to manufacturer specification, the interior of this RS Mexico is a credit to the dedication and resolve of the former keepers to stay true to Ford AVO’s vision and keep the car away from the often inevitable fate of modification. All equipment housed in the flawless dashboard with padded top fascia and correct six pod binnacle operates perfectly. The boot area continues the showroom experience with the original blue jack neatly wrapped in the hessian bag resting on a genuine unmarked boot mat, alongside the correct angled pressed steel spare wheel. A wonderful interior born from a devoted quest for originality and accuracy. A large history file accompanies this RS Mexico and Silverstone Auctions can say with confidence that it is the finest we have ever offered for sale.

1971 Ford Escort Twin-Cam

Registration: AKE 150J Chassis Number: CK49K078568 Engine Number: EG 11159 Year of Manufacture: 1971 Estimate (£): 30,000 - 35,000

From the start of the Escort range Ford had intended to produce sporting versions of its new model; the first of this special breed of Escort was the Lotus engined Twin-Cam. The Twin-Cam used the same 1558cc engine as the Lotus Cortina. This meant 110bhp and a top speed of 115mph. Externally there was little difference between the Escort Twin-Cam and its tamer sister, the Escort GT. A reinforced bodyshell with wider wheel arches and quarter bumpers hid the uprated suspension and front disc brakes were standard equipment. The Escort Twin-Cam was conceived and developed by Ford’s Boreham based competitions department during 1967 and unleashed on an unsuspecting public during January 1968; going on to achieve many international race and rally victories during its short production life.

Ford entered their first event with the Escort, taking part in the new formula of motorsport, Rallycross and also entering at an event at Croft (still used today), the Escort Twin-Cam won 4 races out right.

The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960’s and 1970’s with, arguably, the Escort’s greatest

118

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day T wo

victory in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally. In total, just 883 Escort Twin-Cams were built before production ended to make way for the RS1600.

This original road specification Escort Twin-Cam is a 1971 example finished in copper red with black interior. Built in Australia and first sold new to New Zealand, the car was at one time owned and raced by Richard McCathy in New Zealand. Supplied with a good history file detailing expenditure over the years, the engine was fully rebuilt to race standards with Gilmore drive, Edgel works head, lightened and balanced crankshaft and twin 45 Webber carburettors. The interior is finished to standard specification with auto sport master seats. The bodywork is presented in lovely order and this car has clearly been restored to a high specification.

This lovely example of a fast-appreciating model is guided very sensibly in today’s collector motor car market and presented in this rare colour combination, you will certainly stand out from the crowd of Ermine White Twin-Cam owners.

Carlo Abarth’s company found its key growth opportunity with the launch of the Fiat 600 in 1955. Abarth developed a 750-cubic centimetre version of the 633-cubic centimetre engine, selling derivazione, or “derivation”, kits for dealers and garages to fit into stock 600s. In addition, he built complete cars in his factory for street and competition use. The best known of these were sleek, lightweight Zagato-bodied cars.

Making its début at the 1955 Turin Auto Show, the Fiat 600 Derivazione 750 Abarth Zagato was propelled into the racing world in 1956. Success came rapidly in a variety of European events, and it made an unmistakable statement when it swept the first three places in the 750-cubic centimetre class at the 1957 Mille Miglia. Across the Atlantic, the 750GT, nicknamed the “Double Bubble” for the distinctive roof humps, were equally successful on the U.S. circuits.

This 1959 Fiat Abarth 750 Zagato was purchased by the vendor in the Netherlands as a sound base project.

The Zagato was then shipped to Australia and underwent a 4-year complete restoration. The aluminium body was

The transaxle, complete with Abarth tags and original Abarth R/P, was rebuilt with new bearings and mated to a freshly rebuilt 843cc engine. A new Abarth exhaust and sump were also fitted and the restoration was finished beautifully with top grade carpets and new re-trimmed seats. Be under no illusion, this car has undergone a full nut and bolt restoration to show winning standard. The paintwork, engine bay, interior and underside are hard to fault.

Many rare original features can be seen on this double-bubble, including the original gauges, steering wheel and even the 12” vented steel wheels and NOS spinners. All original badges, alloy body trim and bumpers are present and it is a joy to behold. Welcomed at a wide range of international events, this little car is listed in the DeBoer Abarth registry.

Often regarded as the last of the real Porsches and now the most sought after, the discontinuation of the 993 in 1998 marked the end of the air-cooled versions. Introduced in late 1993 it gained a more rounded style to the bumpers to that of the outgoing 964 and the rear arches became wider to accommodate the wider track that improving the handling. The interior noise levels were reduced and the ride quality improved.

Dual flow exhaust, larger cross drilled brakes and improved steering were just a few of the other improvements.

New Dunlop SP Sport tyres were fitted in 1990 and since then the car has been dry stored and used sparingly for pleasure with no more than 5,000 miles covered in the last 30 years. Other than the windscreen and the bonnet the car is completely original, including the Moss gearbox.

With an MOT until August 2015 this E-Type is now ready to use and enjoy and represents a serious long term investment opportunity.

The Jensen Interceptor was a sporting GT-class car, hand-built in the UK by Jensen Motors between 1966 and 1976.

The car broke with a Jensen tradition by having a steel body shell instead of a glass-reinforced plastic one and by having the body designed by an outside firm, Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, the firm more recognisably associated with the likes of Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Maserati and Alfa Romeo.

The original specification included electric windows, reclining front seats, a wood rimmed steering wheel, a radio with twin speakers, reversing lights and an electric clock. Power steering was included as standard from September 1968. The Mark II Interceptor was announced in October 1969 with revised frontal styling and ventilated disc brakes, and shortly afterwards, in 1971, came the Mark III. It had revised seats, fully cast alloy wheels plus some other improvements. Latterly, a convertible with a powered soft top was introduced in 1974, this was mainly intended for the American market but also sold in Europe. Just 267 convertibles were made, and here is one of the best!..

A true icon of the 20th Century, the E-Type Jaguar impressed from launch with its 3.8 litre six cylinder ‘XK’ series engine in 1961 to its final expression as the 5.3 litre V12 engine Series III model 14 years later. The Series III was a much-revised model that was introduced in June 1971 and ran through until August 1973 for the Coupé and to June 1974 for the Roadster.

Introduced to showcase Jaguar’s new 5.3-litre V12 engine, the models are easily identified by the wider track, wheels and tyres, slightly flared front and rear wheel arches and large cross-slatted front grille.

The distinctive rear badge proudly states want lies under the bonnet. As values of its rival’s rocket out of reach, Britain’s sexiest sports car looks better value than ever in V12 form.

Finished in its original colour combination of Signal Red with contrasting Black leatherette interior, ‘YND 478L’ was first registered in 1972 and dispatched from the Browns Lane factory to New York City, USA. This most visually striking left-hand drive manual Roadster has original factory matching engine and chassis numbers as confirmed in its Jaguar Heritage Certificate. We believe it also benefits from factory fitted air conditioning (a rarity for the time being a roadster)and is sold with accompanying period paperwork.

Registration: C306 VPM Chassis Number: ZFFWA2DC000061739 Engine Number: 424 Year of Manufacture: 1986 Estimate (ÂŁ): 45,000 - 55,000

This exquisite 328 GTS is finished in the most desirable combination of Rosso and Tan with Bordeaux carpets and Nero leather dash. The car is complete with a highly detailed and comprehensive history, with a full complement of MoT certificates, original complete tool kit, handbooks, keys, rare space saver wheel and four brand new tyres as well original fitment Blaupunkt stereo and essential fuse box replacement. Supplied new

by Maranello Egham, Surrey to her first owner, a Mr Miller on 6th February 1986, this car was clearly enjoyed as what appears to be a daily driver as 28,000 miles were covered in the first five years of life, with all works being carried out by the supplying dealer, Maranello as detailed in the history file. She was subsequently sold to the second owner Mr Barratt by Maranello on 14th September 1991 who had servicing and repairs carried out by both Maranello and Ferrari specialist, Talacrest, and latterly Neal Lucas until 2003. The car was then sold to its third owner, Mr Shonfeld, who bought the car from Kent High Performance in June 2003.

Despite minimal usage it passed its MoT in June of this year with no advisories whatsoever, testament to the care with which it has been given as it was still serviced even whilst not in full use. Having now just completed comprehensive refreshment, this gorgeous 328 is presented in beautiful condition making it arguably one of the nicest and usable examples to come to market. The interior was fully re-connolised recently, giving the leather a wonderful finish and all complemented by a quality paint refinish to ensure she looks as good as new.

During the recent service works carried out by GT Cars, Warrington, the cambelts and tensioners were replaced, all cams were inspected and were showing no wear whatsoever - a true testament to how robust the 3.2 QV engines are when serviced correctly and regularly.

The last custodian of nine years kept the car dry stored in a garage and covered very nominal mileage of about 2,000 miles during his nine year tenure. At times during this period, the car saw little or no use and was declared SORN accordingly.

A V5C, MoT and road tax are paid until June and January 2015 respectively and with the odometer now reading a warranted mileage of 66,648 miles, this beautiful 328 GTS is ready to enjoy to the full by a new owner.

With 308 and 328s now getting the attention they so richly deserve and being amongst the most affordable, user friendly and above all enjoyable Ferrari models to drive, these cars are now proving to be a sound investment.

This 1974 Aston Martin V8 is an original UK right-hand drive, automatic, single headlight V8 carburettor car supplied new by Donaldson and Evans. It has been owned by the current vendor for some 21 years. We are told ‘XYY 140M’ was last ran some 11 years ago when at this time the current vendor then decided to lay the car up where it has stayed ever since.

The speedometer is showing 79,901 miles which is believed genuine, and the last MoT was issued June 2003 with a recorded mileage of 79,853 miles.

The vendor informs us that during his ownership of the last 21 years he has had the sills replaced, new inner and outer chills with accompanying outriggers, a front and rear suspension replacement courtesy of the Aston Workshop together with a new manifold, and brake discs.

There are receipts from the Aston Workshop for chassis repairs, suspension work, servicing and sundry items. Receipts from the Wolf Garage for bodywork and change of colour from blue to silver are also included. Receipts from Greenfield service station for engine and exhaust work and a receipt for a stainless exhaust, guaranteed for 25 years when bought in 1986, are included. Receipt for work undertaken on new outriggers, jacking points and sills. The entire above work amounted to around £13,000 spent over the course of the vendor’s ownership.

Also included in the substantial history file is an entry sticker to the Saddleworth Show in 1994 where the car was displayed. Seven MoT certificates for the seven years between 1992 and end of 2003 are present. During that period the mileage increased from 76,767 to 79,853 only. The busiest year during that period only registered 1,000 miles. The vendor states he always used to insure it for just 1,500 miles a year but never actually reached that level. Supplied with its original owners’ instruction handbook it hints at the fantastic performance of the car reading, “it is respectfully suggested that the car be driven with extra care until the owner has become thoroughly attuned to its high level of performance”.

On the face of it this iconic motor car appears to be in extremely original condition and would make an excellent winter project. Nevertheless the whole car is offered in need of restoration and is offered with no current MoT. The mechanical condition of the car is unknown.

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a fast appreciating Aston Martin V8 offered with no reserve, which is ideal for restoration or a rebuild to your own specification. Following recent results, this car is surely worthy of consideration.

This wonderful Alfa Romeo 6C was featured in Sports Car Digest in December 2012. An extract on the model written by Andrew Newton is offered here; ‘Like so many of the great names in the automotive industry in Continental Europe, Alfa Romeo could not escape from the grim political and economic realities surrounding the Second World War. The company was technically controlled by the Mussolini government from 1932, and the factory fell victim to Allied bombing during the war. Alfa struggled in the immediate postwar years to find a proper niche for itself in terms of road car production. The bigger, grander, more elegant sports cars that they had built before the war would not see to the company’s long-term success, so the construction of smaller and cheaper but still high-quality sporting cars was pursued.

This shift in Alfa Romeo’s focus worked, and they built some of the most memorable cars of the 1960s and 1970s. For a few short years in the late 1940s and 1950s, however, there was a bit of the old Alfa Romeo still about. In 1950 and 1951, Farina and Fangio used the wild Alfa Romeo 158 and 159 to dominate the first two years of Formula One racing, and larger coach built sports cars were still rolling out of the updated factory. The car featured here, is just one of the big, sporting cabriolets from those formative years in Alfa Romeo’s history.’

This particular 6C is a sport model produced on 23rd March 1948 and sold on the 20th January 1949 in Turin, Italy. It

1965 Ford Mustang 289 “Hi-Po” ‘K’ Code

Registration: FNA 392C Chassis Number: 5F09K640857 Engine Number: 640857 Year of Manufacture: 1965 Estimate (£): 40,000 - 45,000

The genesis for the line of tuned Ford Mustangs that followed was the early production 289 High Performance (HiPo) Mustang. This was the car that Carroll Shelby took and rebadged as the GT350.

Only 535 of these early K-Code cars were produced with many destined for Shelby’s Los Angeles workshops. These early cars were produced with performance in mind with the Hi-Po 289 engine, no power steering, revised suspension and optional front discs. For only six months of production in 1965 these K-Code cars were equipped with Arvinode exhausts to enhance performance and give a distinctive note. Only one per cent of Mustangs produced in 1965 were 289 Hi-Po examples, making it a very rare car before the marketing department realised the potential of badging it as a GT. The example offered here is a February 19th 1965 registered Ford Mustang K-code Hi-Po finished to the most exacting standards.

Possibly the finest early correct example available worldwide, all tuned Mustangs, even today, can trace their DNA back to this car.

Purchased by our UK vendor three years ago in the United States, the restoration was carried out by renowned Mustang expert and MCA judge Denis

Frances Resto’s of Danville Virginia. It was subject to a bare metal rotisserie restoration with the brief to make it as per factory production line including factory overspray detail and crayon marks.

Finished in Caspian Blue and Black interior with Carlite factory tint glass, it is faithful to the original specification and retains its original door plate.

This Mustang has its original V8 289 HiPo engine as fitted to the Shelby GT350.

This was rebuilt at the same time as the restoration at a cost of $7,000 by a top US engine builder and has travelled just 300 miles since. The four speed ‘toploader’ manual gearbox was also rebuilt at the time. The full specification includes black Decor seats, 9 inch differential, front discs with dual master cylinder, date correct seat belts and new correct steel wheels.

It also sports reproduced Arvinode exhausts.

This Mustang really is as good as it gets and could easily grace the best collections in the world. The Mustang is probably the most iconic American car of all time and this is the car that spawned the famous tuned derivatives. It is simply stunning with an exhaust note that mesmerises in equal measure.

The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a direct replacement for the Dino 246. Designed

by Pininfarina with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, the 308 has gone on to become one of the most recognised Ferraris of all time. In 1982/3, Ferrari reintroduced the four-valve per cylinder Quattrovalvole, or QV, following a misguided experiment with an emissionreducing fuel-injected engine. The reintroduced engine pushed power output back up to 240hp, restoring the all-important Ferrari performance.

An important model to the Ferrari enthusiast, this car can boast not only being the right type, but a fine left-hand drive European specification example of the marque too. Purchased by our vendor while away on business, he secured the car from a reasonably well-known private collection of a Ferrari/Maserati dealer in Austria.

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

This left-hand drive manual 993 C2 was manufactured on the 26th March 1998 and was one of the very last 993s off the production line. The last car rolled off on 30th March 1998 and resides as part of the Seinfeld collection in America.

Lotus launched a legend in 1962, the new Lotus Elan. Following on from the Elite model the new car offered improved handling, better performance and had a less fragile feel to its overall design.

Below the bonnet sat a twin-cam four cylinder engine which would become a legend in its own right, powering other classic Lotus models including of course the Cortina sports-saloons. Initially the Elan came as an open two-seater, then from 1964 a fixed head coupÊ was also available, both bodies being constructed from GRP and mounted on a separate chassis. In 1967 a new 2+2 joined the range which offered more comfort in a classic GT format. Both models continued to sell well throughout the late 1960’s with various model changes including a desirable Sprint model and a 2+2 along with more powerful engines.

This stunning Lotus Elan Sprint was first registered in 1972 and has had four previous owners since new. The car has been fully rebuilt over the last three years by a long-term Lotus collector with over 40 years Lotus experience. It features a replacement Lotus galvanised chassis, which has been further protected with

Following the original 2.7 RS theme of the 1970’s, the stripped out interior was devoid of rear seats, electric windows, air conditioning, all sound deadening and a stereo system. The chassis was seam welded and the front bonnet was made of aluminium which when combined with thinner glass, magnesium wheels, lowered and uprated suspension, Turbo front brakes and recalibrated ABS - it all made for a very high performance and specialist car indeed.

As the 1980s progressed the Guigaropenned lines of the Esprit Turbo were beginning to look dated. This prompted Lotus to embark upon a masterful inhouse restyling by Peter Stevens at the end of 1987. This new “Stevens” Esprit Turbo was available starting with the 1988 model year. Mechanically the car was identical to the previous year and utilised the same 2.2-litre turbocharged engine as well as a revised four-wheel independent suspension.

‘E464 CMR’ was supplied new in the UK on the 21st April 1988 and has had just 6 registered keepers, the previous since 2002. It has only covered a believed genuine 58798 miles as shown on the MoT in March 2014.

The comprehensive history file contains details of significant work that has been undertaken by the previous caring owners. In 2001 it was returned to Lotus in Norfolk to replace the chassis assembly and exhaust manifold. At this point the mileage covered was 52366.

Offered here today is a genuine left-hand drive VW Karmann Beetle 1500 finished in red with white interior. Recently imported from California, the odometer shows only 22,000 miles, testament to its single ownership. The dry and hot conditions on the West Coast of the States lend themselves to the preservation of classic cars and as such, this Beetle is described to us as completely rust free.

Within the history file is the US certificate stating the previous owner and mileage dated 4th April 2012 at which point the car had covered 16,307 miles. Purposely not registered in the UK as of yet, incase the next owner decides to export again, this car is sold with UK customs clearance and UK duties paid. The history file also contain the V55 form and an MoT until 30th June 2015.

Since being imported to the UK the car has been stored in a dry garage and the engine has been rebuilt. The interior is entirely original and is presented in good condition. The soft top has recently been replaced with a double insulated one, making those winter mornings slightly warmer!

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully unrestored original car with low mileage. We challenge you to find another in this condition!

The XK-120 got its “120” title from a factory test before its launch of sale because of its ease to propel to 120mph. At the time the XK-120 was the fastest road going production model on sale in the world.

One of only 411 RHD cars made in 1951 this car comes equipped with the renowned 3.4 litre, inline-six cylinder engine, which produces 160bhp horsepower.

This particular chassis was completed on 28 June 1951 and dispatched 11 July 1951 to Brookings, Perth. Sold to Mr. B. Wallace of Boyup Brook on 28 September 1951, this was an agricultural and farming area around 270 kms south of Perth. He had a letter published in the venerable English motoring magazine, ‘The Motor’, in December 1951 under the pseudonym “Woolgatherer” of Boyup Brook, WA. He described the car as, “All and more than I had hoped for”. Having been an owner of several Bentleys previously and found the 7:1 compression as perfect for the low grade “pool” petrol (no pinking) and the 3.27 rear axle great for country touring.

He also had a further letter published in the English Magazine, Autocar on 2 July 1954, in which he continued to extol the virtues of the car which by then had covered some 25,000 miles.

2004 MG SV-R

Registration: BX54 AUL Chassis Number: SA9SVGCC5M130154 Engine Number: 88207838 Year of Manufacture: 2004 Estimate (£): 30,000 - 35,000

The MG SV-R was the pet project of the MG Rover senior management to create a halo model for the modern MG range.

Built on a lightweight steel chassis, which has integral roll over bar protection to FIA standards, the SV-R has a chassis clothed in a very lightweight and advanced carbon fibre body that is made up from over 3,000 separate pieces of carbon fibre material.

This was made and cut to size in the UK before shipment to Italy where each part was laid in moulds before being ‘cooked’ to form the rigid sections that were then bonded or bolted together to form the complete body. The engine remained the same 5.0 litre all-alloy V8 engines with twin cams per bank and four valves per cylinder that deliver 380bhp in base SV-R format. The gearbox is a 5 speed manual, with only a couple of automatic versions made. The collapse of MG Rover saw the early demise of MG Sport and Racing, the subsidiary of MG Rover responsible for the MG SV after only around 50 cars of all variants were made. Brief technical specifications: Engine: Front mid; Drive: Rear wheel; All alloy V8 32 valve - 385 bhp, 510 Nm torque; Transmission: 5 speed manual; Performance: Top speeds circa 175 mph, 0 to 60mph 4.8 seconds.

The car we have for sale today is one of only 42 SV-R’s built, build number 154, and is considered by many to be one of the most sought after and collectable

MGs ever made. This example was the highest specification SV money could buy in 2004 and had a delivery price of £83,000. Reading just 9,965 and presented in lovely condition, the first two owners were associated with MG and it was serviced twice by them early in its life. More recently, this SV-R has been fully serviced by Luffields, the official SV service agents, and there is a bill in the history file detailing the work.

The interior is an attractive blend of royal black leather (including the dashboard), brushed aluminium and exposed carbon fibre, giving the tactile feel of a quality GT car. The body is finished in Mirror Silver Supertallic paint, which contrasts well against the black leather Recaro seats with four point racing harnesses.

The wheels are MG OZ 18” split rim racing alloys with stainless steel wheel embellishers, contrasting nicely with the red Brembo brake calipers and drilled and vented discs.

Everything about the car suggests it has been pampered throughout its life. The bodywork is in lovely order, the interior is almost unmarked and there is a good history file with the car. This SV-R is a must for any MG collector and offers 200mph performance for a fraction of the original price when new.

The M635CSi was introduced at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. This fantastically original example was imported by BMW UK as a full UK-spec right-hand drive car.

Originally supplied to the L & C Motor Company of Tunbridge Wells, a BMW dealer at the time, it was used as their demonstrator model. The car was then bought by a Mr J. Cole of Pembrey, Kent who kept it until 1992, at which time the car ownership to a Mrs Jill Braxton of Burwash Common, Sussex, who owned the car up until 1994. For the next 20 years of its life, the car remained with its third keeper, Mr Tom Fahy of Mayfield. Under the watchful eye of Mr Fahy the car was stored in a dry garage, but sadly, for the last five years of his tenure ‘C635 GKO’ was rarely used due to his ill health. The first four stamps in the original service book are from the supplying dealer L & C Motor Co., followed by many stamps from specialists thereafter.

Not to be mistaken for Henna Red, this car is finished in the reportedly rarer colour of Zinnober Red, with a cabin furnished in Anthracite Buffalo Hide another special option to have at the time. The rear seats also have a centre armrest, which is a rather unusual feature in itself and must have been ordered by the BMW dealership as a one-off for their demonstrator car.

Only 524 right-hand drive M635 CSi cars were ever produced, with reportedly only 87 currently remaining in the UK, making it a super rare car today, and one that cannot be overlooked. The overall condition of this car gives you no clue that it has covered the believed genuine 98,061 miles that the odometer shows, with a superb sheen to the paint finish and little wear to the interior.

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

Originally, the Range Rover was fitted with a detuned 135hp version of the Buickderived Rover V8 engine. The 3,528cc engine was increased to a displacement of 3,947cc for the 1990 model year, and 4,197cc in 1992.

The Talbot Sunbeam-Lotus was one of the most exciting hot hatchbacks to emerge from the 1970s. It originally came about because Chrysler commissioned Lotus to produce an effective entrant for international Group 4 rallying - to beat the dominant Ford Escort RSs at their own game. Lotus took a 1.6GLS shell and installed a 2.2-litre version of the Lotus 16-valve four-cylinder engine and a fivespeed ZF gearbox.

The new Sunbeam-Lotus certainly looked the part - it was initially offered only in black and silver, with Marchal spotlights mounted above the front bumper and tailored ‘double four-spoke’ cast-alloy wheels. Launched in 1979, the 2174cc twin-cam engine breathed through two twin-choke Dell’Orto carburettors, developed 150bhp and delivered excellent performance. It also proved very effective in rallying, winning the challenging 1980 Lombard-RAC event. The road-going version proved quick and balanced, although it was priced higher than the comparable Chevette HS or Escort RS2000.

The front suspension had pre-load adjust and an anti-dive system called “POSI DAMP” to control the tendency of a motorcycle’s nose to dive under braking.

At the rear the full-floater suspension design used dual-swing arms. In all, the motorcycle weighed just 154kg dry.

The motorcycle offered today underwent an engine change at some point though no history is available as to why. In all other aspects this is an unmolested original 1986 model. The body panels, paintwork, frame and wheels are all very good and the bike starts easily and runs nicely.

When Porsche first introduced their 964 Turbo in 1990 they had yet to develop a turbo version of the 3.6 litre M64 engine and thus released the car with the old 930 Turbo engine which was 3.3 litre and gave 320bhp but was renown to suffer with turbo lag. They finally released the infinitely improved 3.6 964 Turbo engine in Jan ‘93 which gave 360 bhp and cured the turbo lag problem once and for all.

They only produced 1500 versions of this revised model worldwide, making this particular car one of the rarest and most sought after Porsche models after the 959.

It was built in 2008 by Dax using their highly regarded composite body. Inside the “Cobra” can be found beautifully finished grey leather dash and seats,

a Motolita wood rim steering wheel, harness seatbelts and polished twin roll bars. Ten spoke Halibrand style wheels with spinners plus the trademark Cobra stainless steel side-pipe exhaust complement the exterior perfectly - all giving the car a low, wide, and purposeful stance. This car further benefits from the addition of a removable hardtop - this truly sets this car apart and looks fabulous in matching colour to the rest of the car.

Purchased by the current vendor after only covering 870 miles, this stunning example still shows a mere 880 miles from new.

Included with this Lot is the unique registration mark AC08 RAG (A COBRA G).

A truly unique showroom fresh motor car of impeccable history and condition.

Styled as ‘New Tradition’ by Rover at its launch in 1976, the Rover 3500 “Specialist Division One” took the motoring press by storm, winning the European Car of the Year title in 1977. The SD1 can be considered as the last “true” Rover, being the final Rover-badged vehicle to be produced at Solihull.

An example such as this 1981 Vanden Plas come so rarely to market that we are delighted to offer it for sale. The original owner paid £13,000 for the car which, being a Vanden Plas, came loaded with the full spectrum of the Rover option lists; central locking, electric sunroof, cruise control, alloy wheels, extra chrome trim and more.

Finished in Pharaoh Gold, the owner’s wife disliked leather and thus the interior was trimmed in a special order gold flecked ‘dark chocolate’ corduroy velour.

Disappointed with the part exchange values offered by main dealers at the time, in 1981 and after covering just 13,000 miles the owner drained the fluids and put it up on blocks, where it remained, sheathed in a protective cover until the end of last year.

Magazine did a road test on it in February 2014. We bow to his skills as a motoring journalist and here are a few selected quotes from his article, which can be viewed via PDF by kind permission of Car and Classic Magazine.

“Given the Rover’s wide-ranging design I was wondering what sort of driving character it would have - sporty or luxurious? The answer is an amazing blend of the two. The quality of the ride is probably the best I have experienced on a classic car. In terms of bump absorption and smoothness it’s on a par with a hydropneumatic Citroën, but it totally lacks the wallow and float that is a characteristic of such cars.I feel very fortunate to drive it as it provides such a perfect way to see the SD1 at its best, a world-beating piece of automotive design.”

This golden behemoth is presented today as is it did in 1981, as such there are some factory-related blemishes to the paintwork but with recent recommissioning bills, an extensive history file with original documentation and an MoT, this example deserves the credit. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, the Holy Grail for any Rover enthusiast.

The CLK DTM model was specially produced as a German Touring Car replica for the road in very limited numbers. It cost 236,000 Euros when new and was supplied to Mercedes-Benz VVIP customers as only 80 convertible versions were produced - and only 6 in right hand drive configuration.

The 582 bhp 5.4 litre supercharged V8 engine was limited to a top speed of 300 km/h and celebrity owners of the Cabriolet version of this car included Formula One drivers Juan Pablo Montoya and Mika Hakkinen. Both Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button owned the Coupé version.

Front and rear track were widened by 74 and 110mm respectively and special tyres, produced specifically for the car, allowed 1.35g of lateral acceleration.

0-100 km/h came in an amazing 3.8 secs and very high profile customers only were ‘ invited’ to become owners.

This is pretty much a unique opportunity in the market place and only the second time that this 26,000 mile car (with full Mercedes-Benz main dealer service history see below) has ever been offered

The Sunbeam Alpine is a sporty two-seat open car from Rootes Group’s Sunbeam car marque. The original was launched in 1953 as the first vehicle from SunbeamTalbot to bear the Sunbeam name alone since the 1935 takeover of Sunbeam and Talbot by the Rootes Group.

A complete redesign of the model was begun in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car. The Alpine was produced in four subsequent revisions through to 1968. Total production numbered around 70,000 with production stopped shortly after the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group.

Aston Martin revived the dormant Lagonda name in 1961 with the luxurious Rapide four-door saloon - a car that was very much David Brown’s personal project. The Rapide’s sale brochure, which unusually was signed by him personally, stated “It has long been my ambition to build a car which would equally be suitable to drive or be driven in...”

Beneath the Superleggera aluminium coachwork by Touring of Milan was a lengthened DB4 chassis, reconfigured to accept De Dion rear suspension, the adoption of which allowed rear compartment space to be maximised.

Offered here today, ‘1077 PP’ was delivered on 19th December 1963 as chassis number 53 of only 55 cars. The car was originally built to order for Hawker Siddeley Ltd and originally finished in Aegean Blue with a Fawn Connolly hide interior as confirmed by the original factory build sheets. It is believed to have been the personal car of Sir Arnold Hall, Group Chairman and Managing Director of the company at the time, known for their expertise in the manufacture of aircraft.

Ownership of this rare beauty then passed to motor traders, Sanders & Co of Hendon, London on November 1974, before being bought by a Mr Nicholas Channing of Cranleigh in September 1975, who also owned chassis number 46 at that time. The car was then sold to a Mr Robert McNab of Kensington, London in 1984 with the odometer reading just over 80,000 miles. Mr McNab kept the car for a further 19 years, but rarely used it, so when our vendor purchased the car in August 2003, there were only another 300 additional miles on the odometer, which was then reading a total of 80,300 miles.

Due to lack of garage space in London, where our vendor resides, he kindly loaned the car to well-known motoring journalist, Martin Buckley of Classic & Sports Car fame, who over the next few years used the car frequently and often filled column inches in the aforementioned magazine writing about ‘1077 PP’.

Invoices in the history file from 2004/5 show that some £11,000 was spent with Graham Whitehouse Autos of Halesowen to ensure the car remained in more roadworthy condition. Work undertaken included new discs and pads all round, new suspension, a thorough engine tune and a refresh of all the electrics. At the

same time Whitehouse carried out the fitment of a new Jaguar XJ40 four-speed automatic gearbox in place of the original three-speed unit, a conversion that they have carried out on at least three other Rapides, making them more useable.

Once the odometer rolled round to 90,650 miles, the decision was made to give the car a full restoration under the watchful eye of well-respected restorer John Wills of Cotswold Classic Car Restorations. The brief was to restore as much of the car as possible whilst retaining its originality.

Photographically recorded and documented fully in the history file from 2011 to mid-2014, some £70,000 was spent giving the car a full bare-metal respray in Dubonnet Rosso, a full engine rebuild and a sympathetic refurbishment of the cabin.

A number of other improvements were made at the same time which is all listed in the bundles of invoices that accompany the car.

Presented in superb condition, with fresh paint and a newly rebuilt DB4 engine, this matching numbers and rare car is ready to be enjoyed by a new custodian. With its plotted history and fresh MoT, this is surely a car that cannot be overlooked by any serious car collector.

Registration: TJJ 289M Chassis Number: 1S 51927BW Engine Number: 7S 13019 SA Year of Manufacture: 1973 Estimate (£): 30,000 - 35,000

Between 1971 and 1975, a new 5.3-litre 12-cylinder Jaguar V12 was introduced, with uprated brakes and standard power steering. The short wheelbase fixed head coupé body style was discontinued and the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The car was easily identifiable from earlier models by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches and a badge on the rear that proudly states V12.

Finished in its original striking colour combination Azure Blue with contrasting Cinnamon leather interior, ‘TJJ 289M’ was originally dispatched from Browns Lane to Henlys of London in 1973.

An original right-hand drive, late Series III 5.3 litre V12 Fixedhead Coupé 2+2, this beautiful looking automatic car also benefits from being a matching engine and chassis numbers car as confirmed by its Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Built in July 1973, this car has the pleasure of a webasto sunroof for those long summer days.

rebuild in 1987 at circa 54,000 miles.

There is a photographic record showing a complete bare metal strip down and rebuild to bodywork in 1992 and further photographs of a full brake, suspension and sub frame replacement rebuild in 2006.

The car was recently fully serviced at 89,700 miles, including new fan belts, new handbrake pads, new fluids and three new tyres. The current mileage stands at 90,011 unwarranted miles and the MoT expiry date is 08/07/2015.

The car presents very well in its original colour combination and the chrome is still in excellent condition. The wire wheels catch your eye. And upon opening the doors the Cinnamon leather looks sharp.

When you place your hands on the wheel and start her up, the 5.3-litre V12 sounds fabulous. We are advised that the oil pressure is good; the gearbox changes up and down smoothly and we are told the car drives well.

We are proud to offer a very collectable version of the car that Enzo Ferrari once described as “the most beautiful car in the world”.

Styled by Pininfarina and launched in 1972 at the Paris Motor Show, the 365 GT4 2 plus 2 featured a 4.39 litre V12 and would eventually become the ‘400’ in 1976 and the 400i in 1979. Only 524 cars were ever produced of the 365 GT4 2 plus 2 but as it evolved in to the 400 it went on being produced up until 1989 the longest production run of any Ferrari model before or since.

We are informed by the vendor that this particular 190 SL roadster is not only a matching numbers car but is in fact a very early 1955 example and was the 729th car to be built. As such has some unique parts that were unavailable on later cars, namely the dash is of a twopart early design, the seats are the same as a Gullwing, there is no clock in the glovebox, no chrome in front of the rear wheel arches or on the eyebrows above the wheels, the drainage location at the top of the bonnet is different and the differential drain plug is in the 1955 location. These particular items are of important note due to the rarity of these early cars.

All the proper factory fittings are there but to better than showroom standards, and to finish it off the whole car has been waxoyled for preservation in years to come. The folding hood is new and is complemented by a small window hard top which makes this car useable in all weathers (although we can’t think why anybody would want to take this beautiful car out in the rain).

The work that has been completed by Redcastle Classics has been recorded photographically at every stage and is available for viewing prior to auction.

Since the restoration was completed in September 2012 the car has only covered some 1,500 miles, and we are informed that the mileage currently shows some 76,000 miles. Internally everything looks beautiful, both seats have been attractively upholstered and barely show even so much as a crease.

The vendor gave this car to Redcastle Classics in Caerphilly who over the years have become associated as one of the leading restorers of 190 SL MercedesBenz in the UK. From 2010 to September 2012 ‘TLB 8’ has been the subject of a complete no expense spared rotisserie restoration and the result is truly

Sold with a new MoT and its registration number of ‘TLB 8’, be sure to take your test drive with the windows down and your Persol shades on. Near perfect form and diverse functionality means the 190 SL can still make anyone’s list of the ultimate classic, and you’ll look effortlessly cool too.

After the full strength sports car that was the 300SL Gullwing of 1954, the 190 SL launched the following year. Sharing many of the Gullwings styling features, it was designed to be more of a gentle GT cruiser, and rather than the 300SLs threelitre, six-cylinder engine, it was given four cylinders, 1.9-litres and 104bhp.

The success of the Porsche 911 story has been well documented especially as we celebrated its 50th Anniversary.

Since its introduction the genesis of the model has been punctuated with iconic and benchmark cars. The introduction of the 911S 2.4 in 1972 set new standards but perhaps the 2.7RS remains their greatest seventies achievement. It was only natural that capacity for mainstream production should be increased to 2687cc, which gave a good increase in torque to match the 150 bhp of the 911 2.7 CoupĂŠ. Impact bumpers were now required to satisfy American law and production ran from 1974 to 1977.

This 1976 Porsche 911 S Targa was supplied new to the west coast of the U.S.A and has resided in and around the states of California and Oregon up until 2013, when it was imported to the UK. Supplied with a full Porsche service history with stamped book and original service and maintenance manual, this lovely example has covered a mere 40,000 miles from new. The car is offered with a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche confirming the engine as matching. The car was used on on a monthly basis until the late

1990s when the owner passed away. The car was then left in dry storage for 7 years or so until the family decided to sell to the previous owner. He spent approximately $16,000 on various works. This included new Targa top, new carpets, new windshield, new fuel tank, fuel pump, new regulators, electronic ignition system, new headlining, upgraded oil cooler, new brake discs and pads and rebuilt callipers.

The previous owner also had the original engine rebuilt at approximately 38,000 miles. Steel inserts were all put in for new cylinders and the cam was relined bored.

The 1955 version of the KR200 featured the enlarged capacity 191cc engine by Fichtel & Sachs. Although it produced just a modest 9hp the performance figures and fuel consumption were very respectable for the ‘3 seater cabin scooter’. It also outclassed its contemporaries in the handling stakes because of the tandem seating which gave better weight distribution. New features also included improved steering, better controls, lighting and panoramic windscreen. Messerschmitt launched with adverts proclaiming ‘Car comfort with Motor Cycle economy’.

The casting for the rear swinging arm is the very early type. The three piece mudguard is rare and compliments the various other rare special features of this very pretty cabriolet. The history file contains a good selection of period photos and invoices for re-trimming and new hood.

Interest in three wheelers has been on the rise for some time with collectors focusing on the best of breed KR200’s as the most sort after. This cabriolet offers an even more interesting experience.

There may be a newer-looking Range Rovers around these days but that isn’t to say that the original first generation, with its familiar boxy shape, doesn’t still have its supporters. In fact, it’s positively flying on the auction market.

The original Spen King-designed Range Rover was one of the British Motor Industry’s proudest success stories.

When it went out of production at the end of 1996, it still looked as fresh and forward thinking as it did back in 1970. A model was even exhibited in the Louvre as an example of modern sculpture. Well over 300,000 Range Rovers had rolled off the production lines by the time this legendary model was laid to rest; the final one off the line is now part of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Collection at Gaydon in Warwickshire.

Finished in its original Tuscan Blue colour, this original four-speed manual Range Rover has been owned by the current vendor since 1999. The car was run by the vendor until around 10 years ago until several new additions in the family meant they needed a bigger vehicle.

a receipt for the conversion including tank test certificate. The swivels were also rebuilt together with a replacement starter and disc brakes. The speedometer is currently showing 2051 unwarranted miles but is believed to have had speedo head change some 12 years ago.

The vendor informs that the chassis is solid for its 40 years of age. The upper hinge mount on the driver’s door is corroded and will require attention as this caused the door to drop slightly. The door has been removed from the car in readiness for this work. Included in the sale are numerous receipts from Steve Parker Land Rover for various items of work. Five MoT certificates dating from 6th January 1998 until May 7th 2002, when the car was last run, are present. The first MoT indicates 12,149 miles, then 15,277, 25,133 and 32,511 respectively until May 13th 2001. The final certificate, covering one year from May 7th 2002, indicates 00002 miles.

Significant monies have been lavished on this car over the years in maintenance and it has never wanted for any rectification.

Because of this a specific “restoration” has never been required nor needs to be.

On the road the car behaves better than you might expect of a car from 1969, with the gearbox changing up and down through the ratios very smoothly and the car pulling strongly. The soft top is practically brand new and has rarely been used.

Registration: EKR 57K Chassis Number: 1412534214 Engine Number: TBA Year of Manufacture: 1971 Estimate (£): 16,000 - 20,000

The Type 14 (Karmann Ghia) debuted at the October 1953 Paris Auto Show as a styling concept created for Ghia by Luigi Segre. The Type 14 was marketed as a practical and stylish 2+2 rather than as a true sports car. As they shared engines, the Type 14’s engine displacement grew concurrently with the Type 1 (Beetle), ultimately arriving at a displacement of 1584cc, producing 60 hp. In 1970, larger taillights integrated the reversing lights and larger wrap-around turn signals.

Still larger and wider tail lights increased side visibility and at the same time large square-section bumpers replaced the smooth round originals. In late 1974 the car was eventually superseded by the Porsche 914 and the Golf/Rabbit based Scirocco.

This stunning 1971 example was imported from USA in 2013 by our vendor as a solid and mostly complete car that had been taken off the road in 1985 by its first and allegedly only owner. Upon arrival on our shores the car was subject to a complete nut and bolt restoration by Greyhound Cars in Wolverhampton.

The body was stripped to its bare bones and what little rust that was found was attended to before the car was repainted in the resplendent silver it is presented in today.

Laid up in 1985 by the previous US owner due to engine problems a new engine was necessary and the decision was made to fit a new 1600cc engine in to the car. At the same time the gearbox was refurbished and the two were eventually mated back together. Similarly the running gear of the car was subject to a comprehensive refurbishment throughout to ensure that the car stops and handles as well as the day it left the factory.

Inside, the car was subject to a complete retrim including a new dashboard, period radio and wood rimmed steering wheel along with fitment of new carpets throughout.

Costing over £15,000 in restoration bills, the car is presented with photographic documentation of the restoration process along with various invoices pertaining to the restoration and a record maintenance book stamped up until 1985 when the car was first taken of the road.

This gorgeous little car has covered a mere 200 miles since its restoration and as such is now ready to be enjoyed by its new owner for many more miles to come.

Last of the “Wedge” shaped TVRs, the 400SE was the top of the range from Blackpool and was produced from the late eighties until the early 1990’s. A big engine in a strong but nimble chassis was a popular combination, particularly when combined with a spectacular sound track!

This car is a genuine one registered keeper from new that has covered just 22,000 warranted miles from new, most of which were covered between 1990 and 1996. More recently stored in professional storage facilities from 2006 until February this year, the car was then to receive a thorough re-commissioning at a cost of over £2,000. The car, most

1992 Daimler Double Six

Registration: K121 KOO Chassis Number: SAJDDJLW3CR487228 Engine Number: Not Specified Year of Manufacture: 1992 Estimate (£): 10,000 - 12,000

By decree of the then Jaguar Chairman “Lofty” England the new V12 luxury saloon was to be baptized the Daimler Double Six, and a legend was born.

No news footage of the 1980s and early 1990s was complete without a member of the cabinet or the House of Windsor getting out of a Double Six. No other car of that period epitomised brisk luxury travel like a Daimler, and in such a true British understated fashion. The car was above the showmanship of a Rolls Royce, it meant business and the export market adored it. It is such that this best of breed Daimler found its home in the business district of Japan. Owned by a Japanese businessman and his family since first registration on 1st December 1992, ‘K121 KOO’ spent nearly twenty two years purring from one business meeting to the next, but not that many as the reported mileage is only 42,265km or a mere 26,262 miles. Cosseted and maintained to such a high standard it is today one the finest unrestored Double Sixes we have ever seen.

The Cl a ssic Motor Show Sale Day T wo

Repatriated on the 1st June 2014 the silky smooth V12 purred into London, gracing the Westminster streets like so many of its kin before it. ‘K121 KOO’ has the distinction of being one of the last Daimlers in this iconic coachwork to be produced. Finished in the beautiful colour combination of Cranberry Red Mica metallic with classic Doeskin leather, the Double Six is probably the finest example you will find anywhere. The bodywork is devoid of rust, which is a rarity in itself, but coupled with the blemish free brightwork and near showroom condition interior this Daimler presents superbly. Included in the car are detachable TV screens with remote control operated DVD and VHS players. Freshly serviced and offered with an MoT until May 2015 the history file is as immaculate as the car.

42 years ago this October, MercedesBenz unveiled the C107 SLC at the Paris Motor Show. The launch signalled a shift in thinking at Stuttgart about what made a successful luxury coupé. The C107’s extra 360mm in the wheelbase over the R107 allowed for a rear seat bench whereas the SL offered little more than a shelf.

Born from the R107 SL chassis which was in turn built with parts carried over from the W114 platform, the long version of the SL emerged as a highly popular and extremely long running car. Sporting a longer wheelbase and sufficient interior room for four, the SLC was a sleek twodoor coupé that combined the seating advantages of a four door saloon with the sportiness of a coupé. Powered by Mercedes’ own M116 V8 engine, the 380 SLC developed 215 BHP and had a top speed of 134 mph.

Mercedes of this era were beautifully built and ‘NMY 975W’ is no exception with great attention to detail and an air of indestructibility. We are informed that there is a sizeable history file documenting past repairs including substantial expenditure in 2013 to maintain this stylish two-door coupé to the condition it is presented in today.

The Blue bodywork is very straight and largely in fine order throughout, with only a few age related marks and all panels look sharp and fit well throughout.

The vendor informs us that the engines relaxed burble belies its abilities, changing in pitch as the automatic gearbox smoothly does its work. Pressing your right foot into the carpet results in the Mercedes charging forward with a glorious bellow, this car gobbles up the miles at an alarming pace.

Finished in blue leather, this Mercedes interior is a charming place to be, all seat faces are reported to be in good order throughout, the matching carpets are similarly preserved both front and rear. We are told the instrument pod is equipped with a full complement of working dials and switches all of which work perfectly, the current mileage reading is 19456.

Aside from a little age related grime, the engine bay is reported to be clean and tidy, the Mercedes V8 is smoke free and revs cleanly, the automatic transmission is reported to change between ratios smoothly and quietly, kicking down when required. Sold with an MoT until July 2015, this stylish and rare Mercedes coupé looks incredible value, especially so with the climb in values we have seen here at Silverstone Auctions over the last 12 months.

1975 Alfa Romeo 2000GTV

Registration: TJT 347R Chassis Number: 2414072 Engine Number: 83562 Year of Manufacture: 1975 Estimate (£): 16,000 - 18,000

Here at Silverstone Auctions we are huge fans of the Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV and it is with some excitement that we offer one of the rarest model variants of this fantastic little coupé, a right-hand drive automatic. We are told that only eight examples were produced in right-hand drive with automatic transmission and quite possibly there may be only two left in existence.

On its launch in 1972, the 2000 GT Veloce retained its predecessor’s (the 1750 GTV) coachwork but with minor detail styling changes, and came with improved performance courtesy of its torquey, 132bhp engine. Drivers cars par excellence in the best Alfa Romeo tradition, Bertone’s timelessly elegant Giulia-based coupés are among the most exciting sports models of the ‘60s and ‘70s. This showroom condition example offers the highly unusual distinction of being in original right-hand drive with the ZF automatic transmission working faultlessly. The comprehensive history file includes the original bill of sale and a valuation letter from the Alfa Romeo Owners Club from 2005 states “TJT 347R is one of the finest examples of Alfa Romeo Giulia 2000 GT Veloce in this country. This car has the extremely rare automatic gearbox option, the only known example to the 105 Giulia Register

in the UK. “ The car presents extremely well today.

Manufactured at the Alfa Romeo Brits factory in South Africa in 1975 and retailed by Betta Cars Limited of South Africa, ‘TJT 347R’ enjoyed the dry climate immensely. The bodywork in Farina Red shows no sign of the scourge of Alfas, the dreaded tin worm, and the interior is in a good unrestored condition. The black Alfatex upholstery shows a light patina consummate with it being just shy of its fortieth birthday. Imported to the UK and first registered on the 1st December 2001, the car has been maintained without thought of expense and shows its age beautifully.

The throaty and torquey 132bhp original engine we are informed by the vendor, is mechanically perfect and the automatic gearbox works smoothly. In fact, the vendor who has driven it in central London, and is no stranger to exotic cars, informs us that it was a greater pleasure driving this Alfa than many Italian supercars and at a tenth of the price.

Freshly serviced and supplied with an MoT, this unique GTV offers the enthusiast an effortless Alfa Romeo driving experience with all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks.

Ford decided that the Cortina Lotus MKII would be produced at Dagenham when launched in October 1966. Lotus were in the process of moving from Cheshunt to Hethel and it gave Ford the opportunity to have an influence over reliability and quality control. Importantly for Ford it was now known as the ‘‘Ford Cortina Lotus’’.

In competition it followed on from the MKI and was a worthy stopgap till the Escort arrived. In 1967/68, Ove Andersson was a contracted race and rally driver for the Ford Motor Company and this Cortina Lotus MKII was purchased by him from the factory on 14th March 1969. It still carries the famous series of works registration ‘XOO 260F’ and the history file contains the original invoice showing the chassis number. It was used by Andersson in Sweden for many competition events, mainly ice racing.

This significant Ford Cortina Lotus has never been restored and is in remarkably original condition with none of its history removed. Even the period driver’s bucket seat is present together with the original standard item. Over the last four years the car has been serviced and maintained by renowned rally specialists BGMsport.

Work has included a full engine rebuild, rear axle rebuild including the limited slip differential and the car comes with a full MoT. This Ford Cortina Lotus represents a fantastic opportunity to own a very special Cortina carrying the famous ‘‘XOO’’ series of works registrations. The provenance is sound and linked to a very notable Scandinavian.

1992 Bentley Continental R

Registration: TIL 8088 Chassis Number: SCBZB03AXNCH42052 Engine Number: Not Specified Year of Manufacture: 1992 Estimate (£): 20,000 - 23,000

Since 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The “Continental” designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The “R” resonates to the R-Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. This series boasts the most powerful engine after the Continental T and has a power output of 420bhp and a maximum torque of 650 ft-lb. The car could be pushed to a staggering top speed of some 170mph.

This beautiful two door coupé example is from 1992, though remains in allround pleasing condition thanks in part to its impressive service history. Finished in stylish Brewster Green coachwork with Cream leather interior, green piping and matching leather finished walnut dashboard, the opulent cabin is enormously comfortable and luxurious.

This car has been regularly serviced throughout its circa 93,000 miles by main dealers and specialist agents including Broughtons of Cheltenham, Jack Barclay of London, Michael Powles of Norwich,

Hanwells of West London and Ghost Motors of Kent before being sold to Ireland. D&M Motors of Dublin have maintained the car since, most recently replacing the rear-spring cups at the rear suspension, addressing some blemishes to the passenger side sill, and overhauling the power steering rack.

This is a very good example of a much appreciated marque and model. A car that you would not be frightened to enjoy.

It is a very usable car that faultlessly marries both style and performance.

Offered today at a very sensible price guide this truly is an enormous amount of specialist motor car for family hatchback expenditure.

Currently on Irish registration, the vendor has copies of the previous UK V5 document and also informs us of a speedo head change, the current speedometer reads 30,255 which we are told makes a total mileage covered from new of 96000 miles.

With the last E-Type rolling off the production line in Coventry in 1975, Jaguar engineers were hard at work developing a new car. Finally, in September of that year, the new Jaguar XJS was presented to the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Receiving mixed reactions, its mechanical roots could be traced to the Series III E-type, with the silky smooth V12 and Jaguar’s superior rear independent suspension. But crucially resemblance to the E-Type was gone which upset many enthusiasts.

With an eye to the American market whose stringent safety demands meant clunky plastic bumpers and improved A-pillar strength, the XJS could not, and would not, dare to emulate the E-Type.

Even the name signalled a break from Jaguar’s sports car past. It really was ‘good-bye’ sports car, ‘hello’ Grand Tourer.

At a fifth of the cost of the equivalent Aston Martin, the XJS cuts a raffish look through town and a silky waft down the motorway.

This superb example is presented in Red with cream leather piped in red with red carpets, the car has covered just 49,800 miles from new. It benefits from a full service history with 15 stamps in the original Jaguar booklet, plus a large file of service receipts and MoTs.

This XJS is in a very good condition, freshly serviced and ready to go. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this fine example of an increasingly in demand GT car.

Launched in 1969 as ‘The car you always promised yourself’, the Capri was Ford Europe’s response to the mighty sales success of the Mustang in America. The luxury version was launched in March 1970 as the 3000E and was the fastest car that Ford Britain had ever sold. Next to the 3000GT it was the model that all Capri owners aspired to. Ford’s marketing was in full swing with a motorsport program that was sweeping all aside on the race circuits of Europe. ‘‘Win on Sunday, sell on Monday’’ was paying dividends for Ford and this 3.0 litre V6 version was very desirable ‘back in the day’.

and the desirable manual transmission.

It was subject to a full restoration in the mid nineties and the history file contains photographic evidence of the back to metal process. It was originally Fern Green. The mileage is only 98,000 miles and is substantiated by all the previous MOTs. It comes with virtually a full MOT and original green logbook.

MkI Ford Capris are now very collectable and this example provides the opportunity to enjoy the performance model with great investment prospects and a lot of ‘‘fun to boot’’.
