Foreword It’s wonderful to be able to welcome you back to Silverstone for our fourth and biggest ever Silverstone Classic Sale, which also looks set to be our most exciting yet. I truly believe this to be one of our most interesting catalogues ever brought together with a portfolio that includes some incredibly rare and unique cars. As always, we have strived to bring you offerings out of the ordinary and not available anywhere else. Over 100 cars spanning over 90 years will be going under the hammer as well as seven motorcycles. We’re also proud to offer an eclectic private collection of cars and motorcycles, the ‘Molino’ Collection of Mr. Mike Hewitt, at this weekend’s sales. The Silverstone Classic is one of our most enjoyable auctions. Meeting hundreds of classic motorsport enthusiasts, along with the sound of historic racers speeding past the Wing while the bidding takes place really does make for a fantastic atmosphere. It’s been a record breaking year for us so far and it’s only set to get better as we prepare for our new event at Salon Privé, the UK’s most prestigious luxury automotive concours event, where we will be hosting our first sale on the 4th September. We are now inviting quality entries for this sale so please do not hesitate to speak to a member of the team for more information. We finish the season with a sale at the country’s biggest classic car show, The NEC Classic Motor Show, in Birmingham on November 15th. I do hope that you are able to join us for these events later in the year but for now I hope you have an enjoyable weekend at the home of British motorsport and enjoy the sale. The team are here to help with any query you may have, so please let us know if we can be of any assistance in securing the car of your dreams. Happy Bidding! Nick Whale

Lot 301>> 1955 Land Rover Series I The Silverstone Classic Sale
The original Land Rover Series 1 was designed by Maurice Wilks and launched by the Rover Company of Solihull on 30th April 1948. It had an 80 inch wheelbase and a sturdy box section ladder-frame chassis. The open back with 3 seats in the front design was heavily influenced by the American World War Two Willys Jeep. The Land Rover quickly became popular with both the army and the farming fraternity (not least because it had a ‘power takeoff’ or PTO as standard). The wheelbase was extended to 86 inches early on in production to give the vehicle more stability and greater load capacity. A canvas top also became a practical addition. The strong, reliable 2.0 litre petrol engine was standard until 1957 when, with the introduction of the Series 2 model, a diesel engine was offered as an alternative. This Series 1 Land Rover is showing just 5 previous owners on the logbook. The car appears to have been well maintained throughout its life and as such is presented in great condition but wonderfully used, how a true Land Rover should look in our opinion! It is in the perfect state to both use and enjoy, or if you wanted to have the basis for creating the perfect early Land Rover this is the car for you. Silversto neAuc tions

The boxy 105-Series Giulia might not look like the most exciting saloon on the planet, but underneath that plainJane exterior beats the heart of a truly sporting saloon. Given the lusty twin-cam engines, five-speed gearbox and well set-up chassis, it’s easy to see why Alfa Romeo was so annoyed by the way its cars were depicted being outrun by the Mini Coopers in The Italian Job. Despite its rarity today, the Giulia was a massive success when new, with much of that founded on it being so good to drive. According to Octane magazine the are “well worth seeking out.” This little 1300 Ti Saloon is finished in Alfa French Blue (AR/342) with black interior. The car is reading only 70,500 miles and would appear to be in very original condition. Purchased by the current owner out of a large collection in South Africa, the dry climate over there has spared this

vehicle from the usual rust seen in european examples. The interior looks totally original and the car will be sold with an MoT.

Offered without reserve, this lovely car would make an ideal project for the winter but is running and driving.

The Daytona T595’s are well known for having lots of torque low down the revs, with very stable handling, comfortable ride position and great brakes too. This modern British classic is fast becoming a much soughtafter motorbike, gathering a steady uplift in value. A costeffective, enjoyable and rather shrewd investment no doubt.

1972 Fiat 500L
The Fiat 500 was produced by Fiat S.p.A (Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino) between 1957 and 1975, limited production of the Fiat 500 K estate continued until 1977. The car was designed by Dante Giacosa, and 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 tiny 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. We are informed by the vendor that this beautifully restored little Fiat 500 is a genuine UK RHD matching numbers car. With only three owners from new (it is

reported the first two owners were in the same family) this car has been the subject of much care and attention over the years and it shows. Restored in 2009 by a local garage in Dorchester who had known the car from virtually new the attention to detail is absolutely superb. Finished in Baby Blue with contrasting Tan interior, this is a real head turner and would make a very comfortable, quirky, and economical car for using around town. The paintwork is reported to be in superb order throughout and is complimented by excellent chrome work all round. The vendor was keen to keep the restoration as close to original as possible, thus both engine and gearbox are the original items that have had sympathetic maintainance over the years to keep them in superb fettle. We are informed by the vendor that there is a good history file, along with previous MOTs going back to 1994 and as such the mileage of just under 31000 is warranted. Sold with an MoT until May 2015 and taxed until April 15 this charming little car is ready to be driven and enjoyed. Impressively straight and a delight to drive these little cars are climbing in value, catch one whilst you still can.

The car has had just 1 owner from new, a distinguished and noted car enthusiast, although originally registered to a company employee, it was transferred to our vendors’ name in 2009. It has been correctly maintained throughout it’s life in line with the manufacturer recommended schedule mostly by Mercedes-Benz main agents and just the odd Mercedes Specialists. It also comes with 5 Lorinser alloy wheels with Pirelli P700 tyres which were the best after market alloy wheels available in the day. Now finally recognised as an emerging classic, this is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a very low mileage, single ownership icon of the 1980’s. Truly stunning.

Production of the Series II Jaguar E-Type started in August 1968 and continued through to October 1970. It is often regarded as the best driving E-Type derivative. The most notable differences being the larger air intake, open headlights and new tail lights. The interior became more comfortable with fully reclining seats and revised switch gear. The Series II was now the most developed, reliable and rewarding driver’s car to date and satisfied the market for refinement without diluting the classic E-Type design. Braking efficiency was improved with larger calipers all round. Offered here is a ‘blank canvas’ Jaguar E-type for restoration. The car is complete and represents possibly the last chance to acquire an E-Type at sub £10,000. A current V5C is in the process of being requested from the DVLA. The vendor has applied for a Jaguar Heritage Certificate that will be in the history file for the sale and should confirm the UK origins for this car.

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 4-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 - not least due to the 190SL rising beyond the budgets of many.

Alfa Romeo was one of the first manufacturers to put a powerful engine in a lightweight car for mainstream production. The Junior was equipped with an alloy twin overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine, similar to that of the earlier Giulietta models range. When first released, the offered engine capacities were 1290cc, along with various configurations of carburettors and tuning produced power outputs from about 80 to about 110bhp. Almost all Juniors made had a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1300 Junior was noted for its lively performance among sedans of that era, especially considering the modest engine size and that their performance was better than many sports cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s. This exceptional right-hand drive step-front 1300 GT Junior is finished in Arancio (AR/134) with black interior trim. The car is described by the vendor as “completely

original and has never been welded. With all factory spot welds present and in immaculate condition.” Reading a little over 30,000 miles and with 1 previous owner from new, the vendor assures us this mileage is genuine and we believed any inspection of the vehicle would lead to a similar conclusion. The shut lines are superb and the car is believed to have been painted just once. Discovered as part of a large South African collection, this little Alfa will be supplied with a fresh MoT certificate but will require its next owner to register the car in Europe. All European taxes and duties have been paid by the vendor. Alfa Romeos are very hard to find in dry, unrestored condition. However, it is clear to us that the South African climate has been very kind to this vehicle. We urge any Alfa enthusiast to inspect this step-front, as we believe it to be a very special little car.

Lot 309>> 11962 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Roadster
Many words have been written about the legendary Jaguar E-Type, I think we now all know it is probably the ultimate British motoring icon that is loved by all. Perhaps the ultimate British sportscar? Certainly a design to bring adults to their knees and to move Enzo Ferrari enough to say ‘this is the most beautiful car in the world’ when it was launched in Geneva in May 1961.
However, now the purists have been put off~ look a little closer. This is a recently rebuilt car, with lots of new panel work, and makes for a very price rangey series 1 Roadster - a car that is widely regarded as the best looking of all the E-Types. It has a later full synchro gearbox that is infinitely easier and better to use and the engine is also freshly rebuilt and still running in. Bills and receipts show that the car benefits from an unleaded cylinder head conversion by Jag experts from Par in Cornwall, and now has electronic ignition Silversto neAuc tions
@silverstoneauc
It gets even better - a modern submersible fuel pump is fitted, as are new ‘Boge’ shock absorbers, painted ‘flat hub’ 6” MWS wheels (the strongest type for road cars available) and new Avon CR28 tyres all round. The engine is freshly rebuilt and still running in, there is a new wiring loom fitted and an alternator conversion (from the original dynamo) to avoid even more embarrassment when you’ve driven somewhere and then can’t leave! The car was originally cream coloured with red upholstery but who wants that when you can have traditional British Racing Green with Biscuit leather?! In this price guide the car represents value for money, fun motoring and an insight in to real classic car ownership without some of the obvious drawbacks of the original cars. No soft top present but a rare factory hard top more than compensates. w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com

What we have here at first glance is all the things that you should avoid when buying an E-Type. It is not matching numbers, it does not have the original gearbox, it does not have the original engine and it is not an original UK right hand drive car, it is a converted original American spec left hand drive car!
fitted to the original distrbutor (so you have a much better chance of it starting!), series II brake calipers which are much improved (so it stops), a lightened flywheel and diaphragm clutch assembly, a 3.07 differential with all new bearings, a Kenlowe fan to stop embarrassment at traffic lights and a modern radiator.

Many pounds on the correct and regular maintenance have been spent on the car, itself a recipient of a replacement engine in 1974 - a common practice in that period when values where not strong and manufacture of complete engines was a preferable option to troubleshooting and repair. Still today the engine starts on the first turn of the key, idles smoothly, engages power progressively and would polish up well were someone so inclined. We are told by the owner of a slight coolant leak which needs investigating but could likely be sorted with something as simple as a jubilee clip. Invoices from 1975 for sundry maintenance suggest mileage then showing 29,000 miles. Later invoices, such
w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
as one in 1979 from Brian. L. Shinton in Epping show more than £1,500 spent to cut-out, fit, and weld two inner wings, closing panels and headlamp bowls. The car was painted in this period also in original Silver colour. The paintwork on both the car and matching hardtop is in reasonably good order, devoid of any major blemishes but no longer gleams to a deep shine. There is a handsome Blue coach line which suits the car. The carpets are again in good order, as are the Black MB Tex seats. The soft top is the original one accompanying the car and hasn’t been up for many years. As such, it will likely need refurbishment or replacement. As a candidate for restoration this car cannot be bettered. It is in running and MOT’d condition, is solid and has had monies spent to eradicate concerns of reliability (as if you’d have any with a Mercedes!). That said, only light enhancement is truly needed if you simply wanted a usable everyday Pagoda and not a concours contender.

Whilst this car is offered as a restoration project we are informed by the vendor that the whole vehicle is complete in terms of parts, both externally, internally and mechanically. We are told by the vendor that the engine is actually in working order and as such makes this a very temping project in terms of a complete restoration or as an on going project whilst being used or driven. Supplied with a V5 showing 4 owners and also its original 911 number plate, this particular 911 hasn’t seen the light of day for nearly for nearly 8 years. We have seen recently restored models over the last 12 months make very strong money and as such this could well be one of most talked about cars of this auction.

Since the prototype was unveiled in 1963, the Porsche 911 has gone on to become perhaps the most famous sports car of all time. A classically Germanic blend of engineering excellence and austerely beautiful design, it remains to this day perhaps the only supercar that can be reliably used every day. In 1973 it had already been 10 years since the 911 was first introduced and the spirit of the 911 was as alive as ever. This year brought some major innovations, like the characteristic shock-absorbing bumpers, the ‘ducktail’ and ‘whale-tail’ and a completely galvanized body. In the same year, one of the most influential models in the 911 history was introduced: the Carrera RS. Although in 1973 the ‘E’, ‘T’ and ‘S’ had a 2.4 engine, the RS had a tuned engine with a bigger bore, making for 2681cc of displacement. A year later the new models (G-series) would be equiped with a detuned version of this 2.7 engine. The 2.7 S was produced in lower numbers in Europe than in America, despite the fact that engine output was 25 bhp higher. Even fewer Right-Hand Drive examples were sold and the example on offer today is one of the few survivors.

Lot 312
The Silverstone Classic Sale
Introduced at the October 1967 Motor Show, the DBS was the successor to the famed Aston Martin DB6, although the two ran concurrently for three years. Styled in-house by William Towns, the aluminum-bodied four-seater had a sharper, more Italian look than the curvaceous DB6, but still exuded road presence and looks mighty impressive even today. Longer, wider and more luxurious than the DB6, the DBS employed a platform-type chassis with independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Autocar judged it superior to the preceding DB6 in many areas, offering four full-sized seats in addition to transformed handling and road holding courtesy of the new suspension and standardised power steering. Originally designed to accept an all-new V8 engine, this was not ready in time for the car’s launch, so it was initially fitted with the legendary four litre twin-cam DB6 engine producing 282bhp at 5,500rpm via triple SU carburetors. Offered from a deceased estate, this original right-hand drive, manual Aston Martin DBS was built 16/6/1969 and dispatched to Lazenby Garages in Loughbrough. It

retains its original engine, gearbox and factory delivery specification. It was and still is finished in Platinum white with contrasting red leather interior. The car was in regular use until 1978 when the owner purchased a new car and the old Aston was parked up in the garage. Untouched since, the car appears on the face of it to have survived rather well considering its 36 years of standing, with particular note being made to the interior which seems to be in very respectable, highly patinated and original order. Nevertheless the whole car is in need of a ground up restoration. The brakes have been removed to allow the car to roll freely but the mechanical condition of the car is unknown. However, one would assume after standing for such a long period that the whole car would need a complete rebuild. Offered with a current V5C and a heritage certificate, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a fast appreciating Aston Martin. Prime for a restoration to retain its originality or a rebuild to your own specification - the choice is yours.

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 coupé 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-60’s with various model changes including a desirable Sprint model and a 2+2 along with more powerful engines.

The car offered here today was largely restored in Australia at considerable expense three years ago under the direction of the then president of the Morgan Owner’s Club in Sydney. Well versed in the restoration of Morgan’s having undertaken many previous projects this car was completed to a high-standard and used little since. Shipped to the UK from Perth around six months ago on the promise of being exchanged for a long admired Morgan +8 this deal sadly never materialised, however, what an opportunity this presents for a buyer here today.

A truly charming and eminently usable Morgan this car was originally fitted with the Vanguard engine but this was replaced by the next in succession, the TR2 unit, with twin SU carburettors as this is a far superior powerplant and more capable of regular use.

Finished in Mimosa Yellow with contrasting black interior and black hood, this particular TR6 was originally supplied by the then British Leyland dealer ‘Henleys of Manchester’ and delivered new on the 13th of February 1975 to a Dr G Daniels. With the roof down the twin exhausts are close enough to really enjoy the gruff fuel injected straight six. It is reported to fire on the button and soon settles to an even tickover. There are no signs of leaks from the engine, all fluid levels are correct and the motor is reported to run with superb oil pressure and without any rattles or smoke whatsoever.
An older restoration that has a photographic log, the body is reported to be corrosion free and the Mimosa yellow paintwork is excellent with a deep shine throughout. The chrome work looks stunning across the car and is complimented by the recent fitting of a new hood. Restored in the 90’s, and meticulously maintained ever since, this TR6’s bodywork is beautifully finished with no signs of rot or corrosion taking hold anywhere. The cockpit gives an impression of a sensibly used and well looked after car. The black vinyl seats are in great order, retaining their shape and colour with no stains or tears at all. A rare addition to this car is a factory hardtop which merely adds to this cars desirability all year round.

We are proud to offer here an incredible concours example that has undergone a complete and comprehensive nut and bolt restoration accompanied by a detailed photographic record. Our vendor has numerous documents for the car, including the original purchase receipt and letters from previous owners. According to his findings, just 62 of these cars are registered in the UK through DVLA making this not just beautiful, but incredibly rare too. From an ownership perspective, the grunty 125hp engine gives plenty of power and the car can cruise at 80mph very comfortably with the overdrive engaged. More than 2,500 hours of labour and thousands of parts were invested, replaced, refinished, re-plated and restored to achieve the incredibly high standard of finish witnessed here. Such was the level of commitment given to this project, each component part was first removed, then it was then cleaned, bead blasted, zinc plated and then if appropriate primed and painted or zinc powder coated and then powder coated. The suspension parts for instance are zinced, and then have two layers of powder coat on them, even if the powder coat chips you will never have rust! w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
Included with the car is a receipt for £415.37 dated 23/2/72 from Customs and excise for tax on importing this car. There is a letter from Customs and Excise on the same date acknowledging payment of customs charges relating to this car by the official importer. A letter from the second owner dated 10/2/1995 explains the history of this Volvo. Owned from new by Mrs Hill the car stayed in Buckinghamshire for the first 24 years. It was always garaged. The car went into storage in 1987 at her house at which time it had travelled just 18,700 miles. In 1995 the Volvo was recommissioned by Mr P Millhouse (still with 18,700 miles). Invoices from 1995-1997 show serious money was spent on the car replacing time worn items and completing the 30,000 mile service. In 2001 a further £8,525.26 was spent on a bare-metal respray and restoration along with a host of parts. The car was in the Cheshire area at this time.

1950 Healey Silverstone
The Silverstone Classic Sale
The Donald Healey Motor company completed its first car in 1945, going into full-time production the following year. The firm’s first offering was a 2.4-litre Riley-powered sports saloon with welded-up chassis and Healey’s own trailing arm independent front suspension.
44
For the clubman racer there was the dual purpose ‘Silverstone’, a model equally at home on road or track. Designed by Len Hodges, the lightweight two-seater body was crafted in aluminum, while the car’s purposeful look was enhanced by cycle wings and closely spaced headlamps mounted behind the radiator grill. Another unusual feature was the spare wheel protruding from its compartment in the tail, thus doubling as a bumper. “The Motor”, when it announced and featured the model in July 1949, described the Silverstone as a light ‘competition type’ two seater to sell at the basic price of £975. Observing a weight of only 18.5cwt, the new Healey offered improved performance for competition work, yet remained entirely suitable for normal road use. Getting the price down to less than £1,000 had been an important consideration in the Silverstone’s development, as that was the level at which the swinging 66% Purchase Tax would be levied. w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
The Silverstone was soon making a name for itself in rallying and circuit racing. With Donald himself, together with co-driver Ian Appleyard, securing a second in class and second overall in the 1949 Alpine Rally, they were the highest placed British car. Other noteworthy international successes included Peter Riley and Bill Lamb’s class win in the 1951 Liège-Rome-Liège Rally, Peter Simpson’s 6th place overall in the 1951 Isle of Man Manx Cup Races and Edgar Wadsworth and Cyril Corbishley’s victory in the 1951 Coupé des Alpes. Many future stars gained their first track experience in the Silverstone, most notably Tony Brooks. There were two generations of Silverstone’s, designated ‘D-Types’ and ‘E-Types’, in addition to two prototype “X” models. The D-Type had a front anti-roll bar and stiffer springs and retained the Riley power plant and rear axle. An improved E-Type, with a wider body and more comfortable cockpit, was introduced in 1950. “LRR 267” is chassis number ‘E66’ and first registered on the 12th July 1950 to Fredrick Gordon Stewart Sims. It is an outstanding example of the rare E Type series. Over the past two years it has been subject to a complete nut and bolt restoration after lying dormant in a garage for 30 SilverstoneAuc tions

He is also an accomplished racing driver and BRDC member. Acquiring this car in 2009 his vision was originally to convert it to a racing specification, as they did for Le Mans in period, in order to race it at Classic Le Mans.

Purchased directly from the ‘Harrah’ collection in 2009 (which was part of a French museum display), the car had been originally imported from the States by them in 1987 as a rare surviving example of only 511 built. Added to Don’s significant personal collection he sent the engine to noted specialists, Formhalls Vintage and Racing, in 2011 for a ‘white metal bearing’ rebuild with new pistons. Bills on file evidence a spend of over £7k on the engine and a further £1500 with respected experts Foxcraft Engineering Ltd. Further work was also carried out on the brakes with new seals and cylinders fitted where necessary. The paintwork on the car is starting to microblister slightly now, however, the interior is in excellent order and well patinated. The canvas top is in good working order and condition as are the nicely mellowed tan seats, including the rear dickie seat.

The engine was completely rebuilt, along with the gearbox and every component has been taken off the car and either replaced, rebuilt or restored where necessary. New parts include and completely new suspension and braking system. The bodywork was subcontracted to Panel Craft, who stripped the paint to bare metal and painted the car in its current Giallo Fly Yellow. The interior has been lovingly custom fitted, with new alcantara dash and re-upholstered Daytona seats in tan.

There is a full photographic record in the history file of every step of the restoration. There are also a huge number of bills and receipts for works carried out. The owner states that approximately 3,000 hours have been spent in restoring this car from the ground up. It is unusual to find such an immaculate 246GT that has covered only running in mileage since completion. A restoration to this standard would cost well in excess of £100,000 today with a Ferrari specialist. Subsequently, this legendary little car offers a superb investment opportunity as Dino prices continue to be pulled up by preceding models from the 1960s. Any inspections are welcome and a full condition report will be available at the auction for prospective bidders to study.

For some time Ken Tyrrell, who was extremely anxious to give him his first win, had been considering buying a Lotus. Colin Chapman co-operated by supplying a car with a really top-notch Cosworth Ford engine on the understanding that it would be used only in the Lotus during the remainder of the season. It appeared at Snetterton on September 17th 1960 for a short 10 lap race where Surtees battled hard with Clark and Prior, taking over second place at one point then losing it by spinning at the hairpin, eventually to finish fourth behind Dick Prior, Jimmy Clark and Peter Arundell. With Surtees on Formula 1 duties, Henry Taylor was called up for the very wet British Empire Trophy race at Silverstone in October 1960 and went on to dominate the race and win having never driven the car in the wet before. We are honoured and delighted to be able to offer this same car here today. Not only a piece of motor racing history, this Lotus 18 is an exceptionally competitive Formula Junior racing car complete with current FIA HTP papers.

Since then it has held pride of place in a private museum apart from one outing in 2012 when it was invited to race at the Goodwood Revival at which point the engine was refreshed by the respected engine builder Stuart Rolt. The car spent some years in the USA in its early days and was repatriated to the UK in 2006. Purchased by our vendor in 2007 who then embarked on a complete rebuild to original specification. This included uprating the 4 speed Renault Alpine gearbox with Hewland internals and close cut ratios, which had caused Surtees some issues in the early days.

As denoted in the original JAGUAR PASSPORT TO SERVICE (service booklet) the first registered owner was A.J. Percy (Builders) Ltd of Reigate, Surrey. It is not known for how long Percy’s retained the car but by August 1976 it was in the hands of well-known dealer, Hexagon of Highgate and, as identified in the original sales ledger, they sold the car to the third owner; Mr P.J. Murphy of Finchley for £4,995. Mr Murphy retained the car until October 2011 when it was sold to a Mr. Tovey from Watford and he undertook a series of light restorative works including a full respray and new hood before the current keeper acquired the car in May 2013 via Vintage & Prestige in Hemel Hempstead.

Amazingly and largely thanks to the 35 year ownership stint with Mr Murphy this highly original E-Type roadster displays just over 23,800 miles on the odometer and this is accounted for by the service book and the MOTs on file. Whilst the paint and hood had deteriorated to the point of requiring renewal, thankfully the original interior has survived very well indeed giving charm to this solid sportscar.

Further to this, in July 2012 (at 65,706 miles), the car was taken to Snow & Stephens of Exeter to be given a “full bill of health” and an underside respray to preserve its graceful aging at a cost of £3,993.95. The current MoT for this car is granted until September 2014.
Originally delivered in lefthand drive guise for the export market, this charming ‘E’ was repatriated in 1990/91 whereupon a full photographic restoration and left to righthand drive conversion was undertaken. This was executed to an especially high and uncompromising standard by D.J Engineering of Hitchin, Hertfordshire as the accompanying photographs prove. At this time the car was fully stripped and repainted - including the underside - and likewise, the engine was stripped and rebuilt. Upon completion, the car was put back to the road and MoT’d, the report at this time showing a mileage of just 62,300. By 2001/02 this had risen to only 65,272, and remarkably, the mileage now reads just 65,731.
This truly is an enchanting car. She’s not a show queen, but then who want’s one of those anyway? The stance of this E-Type is as near to perfect as we’ve seen, the complementary Opalescent paint against the Blue leather interior is magnificent and the sound emitted from that exhaust under power from the engine is unbeatable. If you hold even a casual interest in owning an E-Type Roadster then we cannot urge you strongly enough to consider this car. Just delightful.

In the late seventies, when values and interest in the Dino in general was at a low point, the car was converted by a Mr. Jim Carpenter of Arizona who commissioned a new ‘206’ body to be built by Giordenengo in Italy, correctly made in aluminium alloy as per the original 206. The overall dimensions of the car and spec of the running gear were built to exactly replicate the original factory Dino 206 SP of which only 17 were ever built by Ferrari. He utilised the original 246GT chassis and fitted a purpose built alloy block 206 engine, to replicate the original factory 206, which was rebuilt with special pistons and a balanced crankshaft, connecting rods and flywheel. Never raced, the car was imported to Europe where it was registered in Germany and spent some time prior to arriving in the UK. It is now road registered but has been kept for a long time as part of a private collection. The car

Interestingly the car also now has current FIVA papers and therefore is eligible and could be used in all sorts of Tours and Road Rallies. It will come to our sale freshly and fully serviced and with a fresh MOT. It also has a spare windscreen and windscreen mould included in the sale. It is worth noting the removable Targa section that stows neatly in the rear. Importantly, the car is recorded in the Ferrari World Book -Handbuch Der Ferrari Seriennummern 1947 - 2007 which details all known vehicles and chassis records. It is described here in this well-known publication as `chassis 01508 - Type 246 Red Dino 206 Replica’ which certainly underlines its provenance. This car offers the chance to enjoy the same driving experience as of 206 ownership but at a fraction of the cost. With the factory cars currently commanding prices well north of £5 million, it could be regarded as a real bargain!

To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema, and the idea of a highperformance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC’s A-Series engine - he was running the company’s Formula Junior effort at the time - and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the cars competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper. Enlarged to 997cc and suitably tweaked, the revised A-Series engine easily met its 55bhp target. The extra power endowed the Mini Cooper with an 85mph-plus top speed and to cope with this increased performance Lockheed developed special 7” diameter disc brakes for the front wheels. The new car soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. On the racetrack the Cooper’s prodigious road-holding and excellent power-to-weight ratio enabled it to compete successfully with largercapacity rivals and on tight twisting circuits the car was often a candidate for outright victory. Indeed, Warwick Banks won the European Saloon Car Championship outright in 1964 driving Ken Tyrell’s Mini Cooper. w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
This 997cc Mini Cooper was restored to show standard in the 1990s. Some measure of the cars quality may be gained from the fact that it was chosen to appear in motoring historian Anders Ditlev Clausager’s book, Essential Mini Cooper, and a delightful image in the history file of this car climbing the steps to The Mailbox in Birmingham, presumably to coincide with the opening in 1998. An icon of the 1960’s this cherished example of the marque was acquired by our vendor in 2006 and has resided in his sitting room ever since planting itself as a firm member of the family. Finished in Surf Blue with complementing Blue/White interior, the car is in all round excellent condition being as it is lightly recommissioned and freshly MoT’d following its period of ornamental-use indoors.

The MGA was a sports car produced by the MG division of The British Motor Corporation from 1955 to 1962. It replaced the older “T-type” cars and represented a complete styling break from the older vehicles. The ‘A’ was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car. It was replaced by the MGB in May 1962. We are very pleased to offer this 1959 MG A which is an original right hand drive car delivered to South Africa where it remained until repatriated some 20 years ago. In the early 1990’s the car underwent a total, professional restoration of the highest quality to the sum of around £20,000 and has only covered 6000 miles since. At this time the MG was fitted with the common upgrade of an uprated MGB 1800cc engine, this engine was not just a rebuilt unit but an entirely new engine in itself. This upgrade provides more than adequate performance and transforms the car in to a real drivers car far more tractable then the MG A engine. Finished in gorgeous black paintwork complimented by dark green leather trim and with the fitment of chrome wire wheels the car really does look striking.

There is a extensive file, which includes invoices detailing the cars restoration along with service records and items relating to the car.

Offered here is a great example of a Ginetta G21S of which only a 150 or so models were made. It is in exceptionally good condition and comes complete with a new MOT. The history file contains a record back to 1978 and substantiates the mileage of only 56,000 miles. It also contains various invoices and expenditure to maintain this very pretty 70’s sportscar in the condition we see today. If it had not been for the Yom Kippur War and the economic recession of the early Seventies many more G21’s would have been produced, however, in your favour today is that rarity and performance make them an interesting alternative to the mainstream.

Ginetta has played an important part in small volume sportscar construction and club motorsport from its humble origins in Suffolk from the early 1950s. However, it was not until the arrival of the G4 that notable race successes happened and they outshone some established manufacturers. Alongside the core business of car construction the Walklett family continued to produce race cars and Rod Leach once described the G10 as the fasted accelerating road car he had ever driven - including 7-litre Cobras! The G12 race car claimed to be the firstever British mid-engined GT car. With the introduction of the G15 the brothers had outgrown the Witham Essex premises and a purpose built factory was acquired in Sudbury. Demand was high and they sold direct inviting each potential customer to the factory. With the introduction of the Ginetta G21 at the 1970 Motor Show, Richard Hudson-Evans paid it the ultimate accolade; best car in the show. It also surprised the crash testing centre at MIRA yielding great results on the 30mph impact test. The production of Ginettas still continues with production now in Leeds.

1988 Lynx Eventer V12 HE
The Silverstone Classic Sale
Why didn’t Jaguar do it themselves everyone wondered? A more practical, proper four-seater shooting-brake version of the XJS seemed an obvious development. But it was left to Lynx, the UK-based engineering and design company, to create the Lynx Eventer - an estate car version of the XJS 5.3 V12.
62
Each car was built strictly to order on a custom-made jig taking 14 weeks from order to delivery. What was amazing at the time was how competent the Eventer was to drive. The rearward shift in weight distribution required stiffer rear suspension but the XJS accepted this modification gracefully. The Eventer actually weighed less than the standard XJS - so acceleration was sharper. Here was a small home-grown engineering company with the vision and the skills to create a car that drove like the product of a multi-million pound R&D programme, matched by a level of finish and detail to rival the best. Lynx converted this UK market right hand drive XJS V12 HE manual from new in 1988. Only 67 Lynx Eventers were produced and offered here is build number 40. This particular car was factory fitted with ABS, heated front seats including electrical lumbar adjustment, cruise control, air-conditioning and central locking. w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
Showing 78,000 miles this particular car has never been restored but has been maintained regardless of cost and as such is in excellent and importantly original condition. Recently the car has undergone extensive work to insure that it both drives and presents in superb condition. The overhaul included attention to the steering suspension and brakes, renewed air-conditioning, new tyres fitted on to refurbished rims along with a thorough engine service and tune-up. Offered with a superb history file which includes the complete build log held by Lynx, past MoT’s and a copy of ‘Classics Monthly’ in which the car enjoyed a 5-page feature in May 2009. With just 67 Lynx Eventers built this car is not only an extremely rare but also an eminently useable and practical classic car that is sure to provide enjoyment and potential investment for the successful bidder.

Porsche produced the 911E from 1969 to 1973. It was designed to be the more comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting in between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). The designation ‘E’ came from the German for injection: einspritzung. The mechanical fuel injection system (MFI) was used on the 911E and the 911S and developed jointly between Bosch and Porsche. The benefits were better power and drivability with a cleaner running engine. The interior had a few more comfort features, better brakes and gold script on the engine cover. Offered here is a beautiful F series Porsche 911E finished in the most period combination of Roman purple with Tan interior. The car has been subject to a very comprehensive restoration that was carried out by the previous owner who purchased the car with a light restoration in mind. As with most refurbishments the initial plan soon turned into a full blown restoration. The work was entrusted to DMG Coachworks in Surrey and any corroded metalwork was replaced. When it came to rebuilding the engine, renowned specialist Nick Moss deemed that the original crank cases should be replaced (the originals can be supplied with the car to maintain the provenance if required). It was fully rebuilt with barrels/pistons, crankshaft, cam shafts, w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
chains, carriers and hydraulic tensioners. The engine pulls strongly and a rolling road test confirms it produces one brake horse over the quoted 165bhp from new. The gearbox was rebuilt and a new clutch and flywheel were fitted. The brakes and suspensions were completely overhauled. Interior Porsche specialist, Southbound, were instructed to produce the new interior and refurbish the seating in the original colour of Tan (502). In all, a great deal of expenditure has gone into making this a very fine Porsche 911E. It comes complete with all invoices, correspondence to endorse the history and is MOT’d until August 2015. With the early Porsche 911 story showing no signs of tiring the values just keep rising. Guided at 50% of an average 911S this ‘E’ represents value at our guide today.

AC introduced a four seater coupĂŠ to its model range in 1959, the Greyhound. The Greyhound shared many components with the smaller Ace range, including the same engine choices. Most cars used the 2 litre and 2.2 litre Bristol engines, although the original AC in-house design was available at first. A true four-seater with decent luggage space, it further benefited from allround independent coil-sprung suspension, a slick fourspeed manual gearbox, disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. The straight-six engine which had done so much to establish the AC name in competition circles was credited with a 100mph-plus top speed and brisk acceleration. The Greyhounds coachwork looked elegant and contemporary and boasted lines that were every bit as sleek as its namesake. Essentially hand built, production lasted until 1963, by then only 83 cars had been thought to have left the Thames Ditton factory.

Between 1982 and 1994 the car was prepared by AFN Isleworth and in 1994/1995 it made its way to ADDspeed Engineering and Autobahn Porsche respectively to be stripped and taken back to road car specification. There is a letter in the history file that shows the speedo was changed in 1995 at 20,557 miles due to the trip meter jamming the mileometer. The original speedo is still with the car and the current mileage is 5,500 miles, making the total just over 26,000 miles.

Porsche wanted to enter the Group 4 Sports Car Class for Le Mans in 1980 and base the car on their successful 924 mainstream model. The left hand drive versions were labelled 937 while the right hand drive was 938. All nonessential elements were removed from the car in an effort to reduce weight. The vehicle was subsequently entered into the gruelling 24 Hours of Le Mans but in order to comply with homologation regulations road going versions had to be produced. Porsche answered this rule with the Carrera GT which produced 210 bhp. With a 2 litre turbo charged engine producing 210 bhp, it will reach a top speed of 150 mph and has a 0 - 60 time of 6.5 seconds.

The Ferrari Dino was built to honour Alfredo ‘Dino’ Ferrari, the only legitimate son of Il Commendatore, who died of muscular dystrophy in 1956. Unlike any Ferrari before it the Dino utilised a V6 engine, the Tipo 156, which Alfredo had developed and advocated during his life. Following continued success on the track and in order to homologate Ferrari’s 1966 Formula Two campaign, a new line of mid-engined production V6 Coupés with Fiat running gear went on sale in 1967 in two litre form. However, in 1969 a lager 2.4 litre Dino was introduced, named the 246 GT or GTS for the Spider. Only 4,000 definitive Dinos were built before the introduction of the completely restyled V8 engined 308 in 1973. The voluptuous bodywork, which to many people is the prettiest ever to grace a road going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti. It covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The compact four-cam engine, which delivered 190bhp, was mounted transversely above the five-speed gearbox and just ahead of the rear axle, allowing both a comfortable cockpit and usable boot space.

This theme continues to the engine bay which is in excellent condition befitting a car of just 15,000 kilometres as suggested by this car and believed genuine by this cataloguer. The engine, believed maintained in Italy by expert, Sergio Rossi of Torino, fires to life at the first turn of the key, reaches water temperature and oil pressure in a timely fashion and engages gears smoothly and accurately. The body was restored by Bachelle Evita Modena in an unknown period prior to our vendor’s ownership which began in 2002. Regrettably, despite the car being purchased through a European motor dealer, the promised history file never materialised meaning this car is accompanied by a handful of invoices and receipts for light works in current ownership and photocopies of a previous Italian log book.

In our opinion this is a fine example of the iconic Ferrari brand and one you should be proud to own, particularly at today’s fair guide price. The only criticism we can levy to this car is in respect of a reaction to the magnesium Cromodora wheels, mild in places, more severe in others which prospective buyer’s should be aware of. Refurbishment or replacement are both possible. Sold with EU Log book (Ireland) and some accompanying documentation this benchmark Ferrari is priced sensibly to sell.

This left-hand drive Austin Healey 3000 was sold new in the USA in 1963. The Illinois registration details in the history file would suggest the car remained there until it was purchased by a Doctor from Jersey in 1991. The car formed part of a large private collection and was then sold in 2000 to a local dentist having covered a mere 7,800 miles. Whilst in the possession of these two collectors the car was maintained regardless of cost by their full-time mechanics. Over the last 14 years this Healey has covered a further 2,000 miles and is currently reading 9884 miles. With the absence of early mileage declarations in the history file it is impossible to state this mileage is warranted. However, the current vendor has had the car fully inspected by marque specialist Murray Scott-Nelson. They state the following:
it has never been welded nor does it require any. I have found no reason that would suggest the mileage isn’t genuine. The paintwork on the car is original.” They also mention that the wheels and tyres are non-original and minor paint repairs have been carried out to the front shroud. Included in the sale is the original drivers handbook, Jersey registration and various paperwork. Buyers should note that UK taxes have been recently paid and a UK registration certificate is currently pending. Finished in the most appropriate colour combination of ice blue with blue trim, this car is a true testament to Healey 3000 originality. Very few cars survive in genuinely original order and this example must be seen to be believed. A full copy of the Murray Scott-Nelson condition report is available to prospective purchasers

In September of 1959 Porsche revealed their fully updated 356 known as the 356B. This had a completely revised body that was more suitable for the American market. The 356B used the new T5 bodystyle which raised the front and rear bumpers nearly four inches. Furthermore the headlights were also repositioned higher to meet American regulations. Inside Porsche fitted a new deep dish steering wheel and deeper front seats. New to the model was the Type 616/7 Super 90 engine which was an indirect replacement for the Carrera de Luxe models. The engine was fully revised with a new intake manifold, a larger Solex 40 PII-4 carburetor and the Carrera air filters. Other detail changes included 9.0:1 pistons, strong valves and a different crankshaft with 55mm main bearings. In August of 1961 Porsche revealed the updated T6 body with larger windows for the Coupé and twin engine grills on the rear deck. These had a much revised front trunk with a different gas tank that was accessed under a filler lid on the fender instead of the middle of the trunk.

Debuting at the March 1974 Geneva Motor Show, the Interceptor Convertible was based on the same tubular chassis as its fixed-head sibling (albeit with suitably strengthened sill sections and windscreen pillars). Only in production for two years during which a mere 507 are thought to have been made (with 87 supplied to the home market), the Convertible remains the most sought after Interceptor variant. Of those 87 UK cars, according to records kept by the vendor the car offered for sale here was built on the 24th September 1974 and was supplied new by Charles Follett ltd and delivered new to a Mr Hines on the 1st of November 1974. We are informed by the vendor that the noises emanating from beneath this Interceptors fluted bonnet are all the ones you want to hear, and none that you don’t. The roar from the 7.2 litre V8 engine is reported to be turbine smooth with no unseemly clonks, rattles or whines to spoil it. The condition of the doors and sills and the uniformity of the of the panel gaps all indicate that this is a car that has been very well looked after over the years, we are told there is supporting documentation indicating an almost complete rebuild of the car in the mid-nineties. w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
This particular Interceptor convertible comes with a substantial history file which interestingly includes copies of the original build sheets from the Jensen Motor Company in Birmingham and also copies of the warranty work carried out at the supplying Dealer, all of which makes very interesting reading and offers a great insight to how these hand built cars were crafted together back in the 1970s. The vendor has collated all paperwork and documentation in a beautifully presented leather ring binder which includes previous MoT certificates, photographs, copies of Jensen factory paperwork, and other supporting bills and invoices. The car comes with a great history file with bills and maintenance dating back years. This suggests a series of caring and sympathetic owners for whom cost has not been an issue, something that is reflected in the way this car runs and drives. The MoT certificates show the current mileage of just under 62000 to be correct and with a current MoT until April 2015 and Tax until November this stunning car is ready to be driven and enjoyed for the summer season.

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine ‘Supercar’ that defined the Seventies and Eighties. 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 whale-tail. 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.

Purchased new in 1989 from AFN Porsche and delivered to a Mr Nigel Hull who clearly knew his Porsches as this particular car is 1 of only 56 RHD Targa Turbos ever built and one of even fewer fitted with the desirable G50 5 speed gearbox. The 61000 warranted miles displayed on the odometer is a good enough story, but given the overall appearance of this Porsche you could be forgiven this car has less than half that such is its overall condition. The white bodywork has a deep mirror like finish throughout and all panel gaps are reassuringly symmetrical, the body is as it left Stuttgart all those years ago. Built with 3.3 litre air-cooled turbo engine the car is reported to generate over 330 bhp, options included on this car are: locking differential, heated sports seats, amplifier system, 2 speakers on back shelf, windscreen tint, impact bumpers and 3 point rear seat belts.

(MoT and tax disc in documentation) and in 1981 it was driven by James to his home in Gifford near A1 Classic Cars, East Lothian, Scotland. It was used locally on occasions until 1990. By then it needed more thorough renovation and the car was partially restored locally including engine refurbishment, bodywork repairs and repainting in its original Pastel Blue. However the renovation was not completed and the car lay as a project for some years until it was found by A1 Classic Cars LLP in January 2010. It was then partially completed with a new interior including leather, carpets, woodwork and headlining, some bodywork upgrades and a full re-spray. Once adopted by our vendor the XK was painstakingly finished to the exceptional standard we see today. Finished in factory Pastel Blue with blue leather, this historic XK120 is a very unspoiled example that retains much of its originality. Many of the original tuning parts and modifications are present and it even has the same alloy fuel tank. Uniquely, period trophies come with the car, which completes the marriage and the history of this period racer. A remarkable car with a well documented history – an irresistable combination.

Offered here is a stunning Jaguar XK120 with a fascinating history that links it directly to Ecurie Ecosse’s victory at Le Mans in 1956. In May 1953, this car was despatched from the factory to Singapore and raced by Charles Eames, a keen amateur driver and member of the British High Commission. It was campaigned throughout the Fifties and was eventually sold in 1961 to Sir James Lockerbie OBE, a former benefactor of the Ecurie Ecosse race team, and now steward of the Singapore Vintage Vehicle Club. In 1961, Ron Flockhart - a very competent aviator - was preparing for an attempt on the record flight time from Sydney to London in a WWII Mustang. As a former schoolmate and Ecurie Ecosse team sponsor, Lockerbie and Flockhart had remained friends. It is believed that during his preparations for his solo attempt on the record Flockhart had stayed with the Lockerbie’s in Singapore and competed in two events in ‘SU 457’. These were the Thompson Road Grand Prix and the Gap Hill Climb, which would later be won by Lockerbie in February 1962.

The Harrier Jump Jet will go down in history as one of the all time great classic British Aircraft: A shining example of British ingenuity and innovation at its best. The Harrier GR Mk3 was the Royal Air Forces V/STOL (vertical / Short Take Off and Land) close support and reconnaissance aircraft which saw front line service with the RAF for over 20 years.
78
This is a unique opportunity to acquire Harrier serial number XZ132 which first flew in 1976 and served a distinguished 15 year flying career with the Royal Air Force. Featured in the June issue of Jets Magazine and labelled as the ‘Best Of The Best’ this Harrier has been described as the cleanest first generation RAF Harrier you will get the chance to own. Condition is so good in fact that there is serious potential for a future return to flight project. A mass of documentation and paperwork is available including over 70Kg of job cards dating back to 1976. The aircraft comes with the Rolls Royce Pegasus Mk103 engine, not currently fitted to the aircraft but in a wheeled transit stand. For display purposes a photo decal engine blank is fitted in the intake as well as a full set of engine nozzles. The aircraft is externally complete. Cockpit interior is very good and around 95% complete with the original Mk9A Martin Baker ejection seat installed (inert). w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
The aircraft is hydraulically intact and with minimal work could be made electrically live again. Some minor internal components are missing such as the water tank, a handful of fuel pipes, some avionics boxes from the rear avionics bay and the air motor. All flying control actuators are present as well as reaction nozzles that would control the aircraft when in the hover. The aircraft is ready to display as a museum exhibit, gate guardian or centerpiece to a private collection. The aircraft is being sold for display purposes only and is not currently airworthy. All armaments and weapons systems have been removed. Market value for an aircraft of this pedigree is nearly impossible to gauge, as such no price estimate has been shown. Considering the history, provenance and the fact that the aircraft is so original and complete, along with the presence of documentation and paperwork this really is an exciting opportunity, especially as the aircraft has been entered with No Reserve!

Designed as project ADO15 (Austin Drawing Office project number 15), the Mini came about because of the fuel shortage caused by the 1956 Suez Crisis. Petrol was once again rationed in the UK, sales of large cars slumped, but 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’. Built on the 28th of September 1959, finished in Tartan Red with contrasting Grey Fleck/Spanish Red interior, this very early Austin Mini was delivered to Murray & Chorleton Limited of Newcastle and was issued with the registration mark RNL 68. We are informed by the vendor that this particular car has had £4000 worth of brand new parts alone fitted. Many hundreds of hours of dedicated time have been devoted to recreating the original magical appeal that this car represented when new. The attention to detail in the rebuild of this car is truly staggering, the restoration was to original factory specification, the car was subject to a ground up restoration retaining the original body shell and body number, but with almost all the other panels being renewed with new parts. (Bonnet; wings; front w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
panels; A - panels; inner and outer sills; boot lid; door skins, full floor replacement) all of this work was carried out on an original jig and as such the alignment of all panels is reported to be superb. The bodywork was completely re worked to the very highest standard including the trial fitting of all the panels prior to painting. The underside of this Mini is every bit as good as on the top being fully painted and detailed throughout. The interior has been completely re trimmed to the very highest standards, with the fitting of new seats front and rear, new door cards, new dash panels front and rear, along with quarter panels and full carpet set. From our past experience show winning early Minis do not remain unsold for very long, so if you are looking for a stunning example with great investment prospects - then this is the one for you. Sold with 10 months MoT and taxed until August of this year this really is a turn-key completed project. So there is nothing to do other than enjoy this ‘Mini Adventure’ and admire the attention to detail that has been put into this beautiful restoration.

In 1989 a Doctor and Alfa Romeo Club Secretary from Norfolk acquired the car and kept to until 2005 commissioning in the early 2000’s a restoration and repaint of this much-loved Alfa to Metallic Silver as it wears today.

The 2600 Sprint engine is a 2,584cc straight six twin-cam unit which the factory reported as delivering 145bhp when new with the standard triple Solex carburettor set up. This Sprint had the popular triple Weber carburettor conversion carried out to it in March 2010. Recent engine works include a new head gasket and complete cylinder head overhaul, new piston rings were also fitted at this time, along with an overhauling of the braking system that resulted in the fitting of a brake servo and having the brake master cylinder and rear calipers rebuilt. These works totalled over £6,000 and result in the 94,000 mile engine behaving itself as you would expect. The bodywork and paint are in good condition with a few marks in various places. Were this my car, I’d consider a repaint in the next two or three years but would be proud and unashamed to use as is for the foreseeable future. The interior is wonderfully original and in very good condition with the enormous seats being extremely comfortable for long journeys.

The 1973 Porsche 911S represented the pinnacle of Porsches sportscar program in the early 1970’s, bettered only in performance terms by the 2.7RS. It was the last year of non-impact bumpers and lightweight cars. The 1973 ‘S’ had the final development of the free revving 2.4 litre type 911/53 engine producing 190bhp. The transmission also benefitted from the new 915 gearbox which was stronger and offered an improved gear change. The ‘aero’ package was improved by the fitment of a front valance spoiler which reduced front end lift. Coupled with Porsche’s total domination of the World Sportscar Championship and Steve McQueens endorsement in the film Le Mans they could do no wrong with the now iconic 1973 911S and derivatives. This 911S Coupé is one of the final F series cars and must rank as one of best available. Delivered new on January 2nd 1973 this UK car was first owned by Lt Col Potter of Cambridgeshire finished in Sepia Brown with Beige trim. He owned the car for two years logging his trips and clocking up 23,051 miles most notably with trips to Geneva and Genoa. The history file contains all of the

It was at this stage that he decided upon a full restoration and entrusted the services of Greenspeed Autosylists of Essex. Well renowned for their excellence in such significant restorations the year long process was the personal project of Martin Green himself. The fact that this 911S still remains in concours condition is testament to his work some twenty years later. It now has the appearance of a factory fresh original resplendent in Gemini Blue metallic paint. With such well-documented history that shows a complete line of ownership and maintenance this beautiful 1973 Porsche 911S 2.4 Coupé represents the very best of these iconic benchmark cars. With values virtually re-aligning daily the 911 story continues to make headline news as 2.7RS Lightweights nudge towards a value of £1,000,000. The 911S was always nearly 50% the value of a good 2.7RS Touring which are now changing hands at circa £500,000...you do the mathematics.

The Tornado F3 was the last Cold War interceptor. A MACH 2.2 fast jet fighter aircraft capable of a maximum speed of 1490 mph. Retired from service by the Royal Air Force in 2011 and nicknamed ‘Guardian of the Skies’ the F3 provided 25 years of sterling service patrolling the skies of the United Kingdom and various other hot spots around the world that required no fly zones.

The aircraft having just undergone a 16 month rebuild and restoration is ready to display exactly as shown in the photos and has been finished as ‘Delta Zulu’ of XI(F) Squadron with black and yellow diamond fin cap and squadron markings on the fin.
This particular example is the only privately owned Tornado F3 aircraft in the world and represents a serious acquisition opportunity for the discerning collector or investor who has the desire to own one very rare and exclusive piece of aviation history. This is also highly likely to be the only time a RAF Tornado F3 is offered for auction as the entire RAF F3 fleet (bar a handful of aircraft preserved in national museums) have been spares recovered and then subsequently scrapped.

The aircraft is being sold for display purposes and is not airworthy. All armaments and weapons systems have been removed. Many of the internal systems have been removed during the decommissioning process; for example the Radar and avionics boxes, engines and APU are absent. Viewing can be arranged prior to the auction by appointment.
This particular F3 was built in 1988 and served with 29 Sqn, 5 Sqn, 56(R) Sqn and finally 111 Sqn. Notable in its service history is a stint as the personal mount of the Commanding Officer of 56 Squadron and visits to

Offered for sale as the personal property of former UK Facel Vega Club Secretary, Roy Scandrett, the records for this car are immaculate and complete as you would expect. Built in July 1960 as a righthand drive car with automatic gearbox, production number 756 was fitted with Borrani disc wheels and disc brakes and painted in Silver Metallic with bright red leather interior - a proven and timeless combination. Imported by HWM it was sold via Jack Barclay Ltd. of Berkeley Square London to Mr W.A. Shellim on 3rd October 1960, subsequently passing to N. Shrek & Co Ltd in 1962 and to Mr. Hazzard in June 1966. Two subsequent owners have cared for this car before it joined Roy in 1987. A comprehensive service record (copy supplied) was kept by H.W.Motors from pre-delivery check until July 1966 by which time the recorded mileage was 54,248. This includes service information and specification, a workshop guide (en Francais), the Owner’s Manual (English) and a copy of the relevant page of the Amicale Facel Vega Register. Furthermore, various magazine articles and road tests plus invoices for work carried out and parts supplied. w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com
From 1987 and throughout our vendor’s ownership this car has stood on axle stands in a brick-built integral garage. Whilst the planned restoration has never been completed, the engine has been regularly started and taken to running temperature, going through the gears to ensure everything is free. Engine oil has been changed at frequent intervals. The mileage now stands at 78,363. All exterior brightwork and interior trim have been removed and carefully stored. Every part is accompanying the car to complete the restoration with the exception of one headlight mounting box which can be easily fabricated. The original wiring is in good condition and everything works (apart from the clock - which we’re reliably informed is the case in 90% of FV’s!). Whilst offered part-restored this is a relatively straightforward restoration being, as it is, more than 99% complete. For those in the know we’d like to point out that this car also benefits from being offered particularly hardto-get items including original toolkit and jack, cigarette lighter and ashtray, emergency window winder handle, and original headlining.

Lot 362
1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray FIA race car
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C2 was built between 1962 and 1967. The most significant year of product development for the Corvette Stingray was 1965 when disc brakes were fitted all round as standard and the awesome 425bhp 396 cubic inch (7 litre) Turbojet ‘big block engine’ became available.
cooled ‘Muncie’ racing gearbox. Twin coolers serve both the gearbox and the GM Positraction 3.5:1 limited slip differential. The car has heavy duty full race adjustable suspension and dual calliper disc brakes. It has a 36 gallon foam filled long distance racing fuel tank and a new bespoke wiring loom fitted.
This car is exactly that; A 1965 Big Block Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 396 that has been meticulously prepared by the vendor to full FIA specification, a process that has taken over 4 years to complete, and it comes with full current FIA papers.
Period touches have been researched and located with a Goodwood Revival invitation very much in mind. Period correct Stuart Warner instruments are fitted along with most of the original interior and a ‘period’ NASCAR fully bolstered race seat, trimmed in the original period red leather.
The detail that has gone in to the preparation of this car is quite extraordinary. Built from a strong and very solid road car, the chassis was sandblasted, seam welded and gusseted prior to a bespoke T45 cage being fitted and then repainted inside and out. The engine is freshly rebuilt and the detailed exact specification is in the car’s accompanying history file. Suffice to say over 500bhp is available.... The transmission has been built to withstand endurance racing with a twin plate clutch, a Hurst shifter and an oil

Correct and current FIA HTP papers are present.

1961 Marcos GT Xylon Registration: TBA Chassis Number: 1003 Engine Number: 711M-6015B Estimate (£): 35,000 - 50,000
Lot 363>> 1961 Marcos GT Xylon
Marcos Sportscars was founded in 1959 by BRDC member and racer, Jem Marsh, and the engineer Frank Costin. The latter had experience of building wooden aeroplanes and he put this knowledge to good use in the early days with the use of plywood in all early chassis.
Legend has it that in 1960 Scottish racing enthusiast, Barry Filer, was having his race cars prepared by the Stewart family garage and invited Jackie to test with him at Oulton Park. As a direct result of this test Barry bought this Xylon in 1961 for the 1962 season which Jackie then drove for him and promptly won four sports car races! it’s racing career continued successfully through the 1960’s under the guidance of Marcos co-founder, Jem Marsh.

Our vendor, who purchased the remains of Marcos Sportscars in the 1990’s has had this famous Xylon tucked away in storage (along with the Mantaray also offered in this sale) since production ceased at the factory. It is therefore offered for the first time in many years and in ‘barn find’ condition needing a total restoration and fresh preparation for racing. Potentially eligible for all the high profile historic events, including Goodwood, this little car offers significant Jackie Stewart history and could prove to be a fascinating and very worthwhile project.

Their first race car was the Marcos GT Xylon (Xylon being Greek for wood) which was designed by Costin to compete primarily in 750 Motor Club events and was very successful due primarily to it’s very low weight achieved by it’s unique wooden chassis. It also incorporated gull wing doors and a high cockpit to accomodate the taller driver, including Jem Marsh. However the Xylon’s biggest claim to fame is that it gave the future three times World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart, his first race success.
In total Marcos built 9 Xylons but Chassis 1003 was by far the most famous powered originally by a Ford pushrod engine of 1137cc.

Lot 364
1988 BMW E30 M3 road/trackday car

The M3 when launched in 1986 was the first purpose built BMW saloon specifically designed to race. It was a ‘homologation special’ taken to the ultimate extreme with wheelbase and track optimised for racing, a high revving powerful 2.3 litre four cylinder 16 valve engine, a close ratio 5 speed gearbox with a direct drive top gear, purposeful square arches and fully optimised suspension and brakes. Only available in left hand drive and priced at a hefty £26,000 in the day - it was unsurprising that only a very limited number of cars came to the UK. However, they completely dominated on the race track with Touring Car titles claimed Internationally, including the most prestigious UK and German Touring car crowns.
The car looks sharp today having recently been repainted inside and out and comes with an MoT until Spring next year. A great fun and inexpensive trackday saloon - Gold Track here we come!
This car is a 1988 E30 M3 originally supplied to the German market that has now been prepared for fast road and track day use. The engine has been swopped for a 2.5 litre block rebuilt by the renowned BMW specialist, Ross Cockburn, now giving around 250bhp. The car has also had a Safety Devices bolt in roll cage fitted along with competition high back seats and harnesses, a strut brace and competition brake pads.

The ‘Molino’ Collection Our vendor is a well known and highly successful Midlands motor industry character. His lifelong connection with the motor industry started early in his life when as a teenager he worked in the family business and learned the skills of coach-building, paintwork, restoration and mechanical rebuilding. His passion and knowledge also extended into motorbikes and in his Twenties he became one of the top British riders, representing his country on numerous International motorbike events all over Europe. He went on to build a very large motor business with his sons and his brother which was sold in 2011 to a multi-national American company. He has spent most of the time since his retirement acquiring and restoring this eclectic collection that we are presenting in our Silverstone Classic sale on Sunday July 27th in The Wing at Silverstone Circuit. These classic cars and bikes are handpicked by our vendor, some for their iconic status in the motor industry, some for the happy memories in his own life, but each one has their own unique story to tell. Every car and bike has been thoroughly checked and where necessary expertly restored with all his expertise, knowledge and years of experience. Some cars and bikes have been completely stripped down to bare metal and brought a true meaning to nut and bolt restoration. This collection has had endless hours of work, top specialist and craftsmen and the finest quality materials with no expense spared to ensure that each finished vehicle has the respect it deserves. It has been a pleasure to get to know the family during the cataloguing process.

1921 Delage DE by Muller

The Delage type DE was produced between 1921 and 1923. The car featured a 4-cylinder side-valve 2.1 litre engine developing 32bhp at 2,650 rpm. The transmission was mated to a four-speed gearbox and incorporated an innovative multiplate clutch mechanism. The chassis boasted 4-wheel brakes with Perrot shaft linkage. In total 3,600 examples were manufactured. The Delage Club records state that a mere 65 examples are known to have survived worldwide. This specific DE was first registered in December 1920 and is believed to be one of the cars exhibited at the 1921 Paris Salon. The charming wooden coachwork was crafted by Miller of Paris and remains in lovely order. In 1947 the

car was sold as a one-owner car from new with 12,000 miles and having been unused since 1927. Purchased by a Mr P. Hampton, he used the car daily and brought the mileage up to 24,800 miles before it was sold to a local dealer. PM 9242 then found its way to Pennsylvania, U.S.A, where it formed part of the William Klein collection. It was then sold in 1976 with the break-up of the collection and made its way to Florida. Returning to the UK in 1980, this superb car has had a further five owners. Presented in original order throughout and running and driving, this very exclusive motor car offers affordable pre-war motoring just in time for summer.

ravages of time and sporting white coachwork from its first restoration in 1993. Now fully repainted, and indeed, again fully restored, the original Black paintwork has been replaced being as it is expertly applied to a high standard. Owned from 1993-2013 by a garage owner in Northamptonshire, it joined the Molino Collection in July of 2013 where upon it has been lifted back to its former glory. The car was fully stripped, the interior restored to a very good standard, the body painted as mentioned, and the engine fully serviced. Some £25,000 has been invested in this car in just 12 months to bring it to this standard, and importantly, to future-proof the lifetime of this car. A very tractable and usable period sportscar, the XK120 remains one of the most sought and desired models from Jaguar.

The XK120 was launched at the 1948 London Motor Show to showcase the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation, which persuaded Jaguar founder and design boss, William Lyons to put it into production. This came after production ceased in 1940 of the much loved Jaguar SS100. All XK120’s had independent torsion bar front suspension with semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, recirculating ball steering, a telescopically adjustable steering column, and all-round 12 inch drum brakes that were prone to fade.

1932 Alvis 12/50 TJ Ducksback Tourer by Lambourne
24
The 12/50 was the car which really marked the arrival of Alvis as a serious and successful car maker and set the standard for the remainder of the company’s car production. Alvis took the basic side valve design and converted it to pushrod overhead valves in 1923. All subsequent production Alvis cars had overhead valves. It was immediately apparent that this was a quite exceptional 1500cc sports car and, with minor changes, it was reborn as the immortal 12/50; the very quintessence of the vintage sports car. The 12/50 was produced over a long period but discontinued in 1929 when the firm pinned its faith on the front-wheel drive models. When these failed to win wide acceptance, the 12/50 was hastily re-introduced and is believed to have saved the firm. As comprehensively documented in the Alvis Register magazine the 12/50 Ducksback bodied Alvis as offered here was the vision of then owner, Mr J.Shelley and combined the Ducksback body by Lambourne of Farningham to the already proven 1927 12/50 chassis.

Constructed from 1991, the chosen 1500c engine and manual gearbox were from 1930 origin, yet skilfully rebuilt prior to placement in the car ensuring that even today the vehicle starts, drives and stops as you would expect passing swiftly through the gears when called. The unusual yet alluring Ducksback body - introduced in 1922 for the Alvis sports models of the period - was rebuilt and prepared in two-seater guise with single dickey seat to the rear. Resplendent in Red coachwork it perfectly complements the hand-made polished aluminium bonnet whilst the dashboard received twenty coats of yachting varnish and looks frankly stunning. The tancoloured trim is also of a high standard as is the thought behind the storage of the full weather equipment and dickey seat. Presented with a fresh MoT test certificate and offered from this eclectic but charming private collection this truly is a splendid and very attractive British Touring car.

These final cars were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971 received a final stretch to 3,164 cc, giving a torquey 231hp, enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150mph, with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onward received the more user-friendly G50 gearbox, but all 3.2 Carrera’s feature galvanized bodies which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality ensures that these classics are long-lasting.

Founded in Coventry by Richard Lea and Graham Francis in 1895 as a cycle manufacturer, they moved in to cars in 1903 and motorcycles in 1911. They initially manufactured chassis, engine and gearbox with bodies supplied externally, but by 1937 they produced whole cars in house known as the ‘12’ and later the ‘14’ which reflected their horse power. Over 10,000 vehicles had been produced by the time the factory finally closed in 1962. This particular Lea-Francis 14HP Saloon was purchased from Charles Follet in London on 9-1-1951 by Evelyn Haywood from Ross on Wye. Finished in it’s current colour of light ivory the car passed through various owners during the 50’s and 60’s and was put in to long term storage in 1982. Purchased and then restored in 1995, the car has since been shown at various classic car shows and is well known by the Lea Francis owners club. Said to drive well the car comes with a comprehensive history file, original buff log book, instruction book and workshop manual. Ready to go - it could be the bargain of the sale....

In 1984 Porsche introduced the M491 option. Officially called the Supersport in the UK, it was commonly known as the “Turbo-look”, a style that resembled the Porsche 930 Turbo with wide wheel arches and the distinctive “tea tray” tail. It featured the stiffer turbo suspension and the superior turbo braking system as well as the wider turbo wheels. Sales of the Supersport were particularly strong for its first two years in the United States because the desirable 930 was not available. These special order Carreras contain many suspension and body upgrades developed by Porsche’s competition department.

The Alvis 12/70 was first introduced in 1937 as a sports saloon and a 4 seater drophead coupé. There were only 741 made - all with 1842cc over head valve engines that featured an aluminium alloy block and a 3 bearing crankshaft. In standard form the engine gave 63.5bhp which was powerful for the time and the chassis was highly respected for handling and balance. As a result a lot of cars were rebodied in period with a sports racing body and then raced which is exactly what happened to this particular car. It has been re-engineered with a 6 cylinder Alvis Silver Crest OHV 2763cc engine and a home designed body. This car has been significantly campaigned in National hillclimbs and International races since 2007 by the much respected late Robin Everall, a prolific VSCC driver member. Well known to the club and also to the vintage racing community at large, the car has been highly successful from day 1 and featured in many significant and high profile events. The extensive history file tells the story of a great deal of time and attention and monies spent on regular and detailed work and updates.

The TF was launched in October 1953 and it was wellreceived. A face lifted version of the TD model that shared the basically the same TD Mark II engine that was uprated to 1250 cc and 57.5bhp. In addition it boasted headlights that were ‘faired’ into the front wings, a sloping radiator grille that concealed a separate radiator and a new pressurised cooling system along with a simulated external radiator cap. In mid-1954 the bore of the engine was increased and as a result the capacity went up to 1466cc. That car was designated TF1500 and was externally distinguished by a cream background enamel nameplate on the sides of the bonnet placed just to the rear of the forward bonnet release-buttons. Just 9,602 TFs had been manufactured, including two prototypes and 3,400 TF1500s, when production ended in April 1955 and the new MGA took up the reins for the popular British Motor Corporation.

From 1948 through 1953 there were just a few changes to the Chevy 3100, including slight grille adjustments, while the engine gradually got stronger. The 1950 model may have been the most popular of the era, but the 1953 had a few more years of development, making it a bit more advanced. When introduced in 1948 it had a 216 cubic inch engine, but by 1953 it was sporting a 261 cubic inch power plant with increased horsepower and more torque. Before and during World War II, trucks were largely seen as work vehicles, so little thought was put into comfort. That changed with the 1948 Model 3100. The cab was larger, while the adjustable seat could hold three people. There was more glass area, and by 1953 the windshield was split into two windows. Heaters, defrosters and radios were new developments for the trucks.
Assembled in Kansas City, Missouri in 1953, this vehicle is believed to have spent much of its time in California before being exported to the UK in circa 1999/2000 when its thorough restoration began post a small Cat-D qualifying collision. Well-documented with a consistent timeline of invoices for parts and with accompanying photographs of the body-off restoration there is no doubting the quality and standard of the work completed. Now appointed in White coachwork and sporting contrasting Red leather interior this is a commanding and robust vehicle which makes a truly sensational sound whilst the smooth automatic gearbox and 3900cc small block engine combine to deliver an effortless drive.

Triumph’s TR Series began with the unveiling of a prototype (the TR1) at the 1952 London Motorshow. The TR2 was launched the following year, and so began an uninterrupted run of two-seater Sports Cars that ended in 1981 with the last of the TR8s.

Code named `Zest’, the TR4 was introduced in 1961 as a replacement for the TR3A. Though based on the chassis and drivetrain of its much-loved predecessor, it cut a far more modern dash, thanks to an all new Michelotti-styled body. Power was provided by Triumph’s proven OHV fourcylinder engine with capacity increased to 2138cc. Other mechanical updates included a wider track front and rear, rack and pinion steering and an all-synchromesh gearbox. The optional overdrive now operated on second and third gears as well as top. There was also the option of a unique hardtop with fixed glass rear window, integral rollbar and removable centre section. The short-lived, but now much sought after, TR5 was visually identical to the TR4, but notably more potent thanks to the 2498cc straight-six that sat in place of the TR4’s four-cylinder unit, a total of just 2,947 TR5s left the factory between October 1967 and November 1968. Built over an almost identical

period, the TR250 was effectively a TR5 for the American market, whose engine was fed by a pair of ZenithStromberg carburettors in place of the TR5’s fuel injection system. With 111bhp on tap, the model could achieve the 0-60mph sprint in 10.6 seconds. A total of 8,484 examples were made all told. Finished in Blue with Magnolia-coloured upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as an older restoration that drives very well. Repatriated from the U.S.A in 1998, this TR250 has covered a believed genuine 71,200 miles from new and was manufactured in October 1967. Presented in one of the best colour combinations of Royal Blue with cream interior, there are 12 old MoT certificates, an original handbook and a letter from the Heritage Trust in the history file. Converted from left- to right-hand drive following its repatriation, the car starts and drives and is ideal for long-distance touring with a 4-speed manual transmission.

This model first came to public attention in 1964 when it won the Manx Grand Prix, with rider Gordon Keith recording an 87.6mph lap. It was an important win for a British bike as the Japanese were starting to dominate. Easily identified by it’s leading link front forks and cast alloy tube frame, the model started as a RAS and soon became an RFS, this being one of only 158 RES models produced. Popular with classic racers this machine remians unrestored from it’s racing life although the gearbox was reconditioned by a friend of our vendor who is an ex-Greeves employee. The vendor has riden the bike and confirms it runs well, albeit a slight petrol leak from the fibreglass fuel tank. There are only 19 of the 158 RES models left in existence, according to the Greeves Racers database.

1967 Cheney Triumph ISDT 500 Twin Registration: LPM 22E Frame Number: 19148 Engine Number: Not Specified Estimate (£): 7,000 - 8,000
The International Six Days Trial was recognised as a key event for European bike manufacturers to demonstrate their prowess in the late 1960’s. The rules written by the ACU stipulated that all riders should use a machine of their own Nationality. This coincided with the decline of the British motorcycle industry and meant that UK competitors had to turn to specialist frame producers, such as Eric Cheney. His hand built products used only the finest materials and came with a reputation for superb quality and highly advanced suspension innovation. This bike was based around a similar design - a twin downtube chassis with tapered conical hubs, Ceriani type forks and a larger alloy fuel tank. Power came from a Triumph 5TA 500cc twin. In 1967 he produced a limited run of 500cc Triumph based twins ridden by the best riders of the day. The vendor tells us this bike was used by Dick Sutton in numerous events that year with a personal best of a bronze medal achieved in the 1967 ISDT held in Poland. He later went on to set up a trail riding company based at Brecon in Wales where he ran trail riding holidays and used this bike regularly as a tour leader. A rare bike with an interesting background, ready to use.

Offered here is a late car with desirable split-screen front window from 1956. A charming example, it has been owned by just one family for most of its life being sympathetically restored and regularly maintained throughout resulting in a car in all-round lovely condition, including interior. Boasting a fantastic and detailed history file from day one to present this handsome Moggie is reported to drive wonderfully, stop sharply (reasonably) and even claims working semaphores - though indicators have also been fitted. This Moggie was fitted with a factory reconditioned 948cc engine upgrade in 1974. As if this wasn’t enough, ‘OHR 860’ even comes with the essential motoring requirement for any well prepared 1950’s family man of an... Emergency Windscreen, we jest not!

1967 Fiat Abarth 595
Karl Abarth, later known as Carlo Abarth, was born in Austria. He created a small manufacturing empire in Italy during the 1950s building performance exhaust systems and parts for Fiats and other European makes. Carlo adopted his Scorpio birth sign as the logo for his company. He soon evolved into a car manufacturer in his own right. Fiat most often supplied the body shells or partly completed cars, which Abarth modified. Mechanically, the Abarth 595 was a vastly improved car over the standard Fiat 500 with special pistons, valves, a high-lift cam shaft and large downdraft Solex or Weber carburettor. The power output increased from 22bhp at 4400 rpm to 32bhp at 6000 rpm. The suspension was stiffened and lowered and the coachwork adorned with Abarth badges inside and out. Abarth tuning mods were available for the DIY enthusiast to install in his own Fiat 500 and this created a lagre “clone” Abarth market; but today the original Radbourne Racing built cars are the rarest. This very rare genuine Fiat Abarth 595 was originally supplied by Radbourne Racing, the official UK Abarth importer/dealer, in 1967. The car is described by the UK’s

leading Abarth specialist, Middle Barton Garage, as in excellent condition. Originally registered to Barry Appleby, the Daily Express cartoonist who created “The Gambols” on the 18/5/1967, these Radbourne cars were identical to the Torino built cars except for various “standard” items such as the leather sports steering wheel, in place of the basic Fiat item and 4, 1/2” Fergat steel wheels in place of the smaller original Fiat ones, and of course right-hand drive steering. NUU 971E passed through a number of owners early in its life, eventually being aquired by a director of Radbourne who comissioned a total restoration, which of course was conducted in house. In 1995 the 595 was recruited by the BBC Top Gear Team for a Television program entitled “The Cars The Star” and during the ensuing 20 odd years has been featured in number of magazines including the most recent Auto Italia issue. Regularly serviced and maintained by initially Radbourne Racing and latterly Middle Barton Garage, the car features the optional Abarth instrument panel, alloy wheels and ultra rare Weber twin choke carburettor and cast aluminium air filter. This lovely little car is worthy of a place in any collection.

Over the years the mechanics of the 911 slowly began to change and the 1972-1973 model years saw a new larger 2341 cc engine. With the power and torque increases the 2.4 L cars also got a newer, stronger transmission, identified by its Porsche type number ‘915’, it was derived from the transmission from the Porsche 908 race car. The 915 did away with the 901 transmission’s “dog-leg” style first gear arrangement, opting for a traditional H pattern.

In 1964 the Porsche 911 first entered production. The timeless design was a result of the work of Ferdinand ‘Butzi’ Porsche and the company’s joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. The 911 soon became a car renowned for driveability featuring rack and pinion steering, torsion bar suspension and disc brakes front and rear. The 911 was powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat-six engine mounted at the rear and was fitted to a five-speed manual transmission.

The British Motor magazine tested a VA tourer which reached a top speed of just over 76mph; with the windscreen folded down the top speed increased to nearly 82mph. This charming MG VA Tourer was originally registered in the UK and was exported to Norway in the 1980s. The car underwent a ground up restoration between 1995 and 2000, including an engine rebuild, and has been driven a mere 3,800 miles since. The car was recently purchased by the current owner and brought back to the UK and registered. However, a lack of garage space has forced our vendor to scale back his collection.

The MG VA, or MG 1½ litre as it was originally marketed, was manufactured between February 1937 and September 1939 and was the smallest of the three sports saloons produced in the late 1930s by MG; the others being the SA and WA. The car used a tuned version of the push-rod, overhead valve, four-cylinder Morris TPBG type engine that was also fitted to the Wolseley 12/48 and Morris 12. The MG version had twin SU carburettors and offered an impressive 54bhp via a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. Nineteen-inch wire wheels were fitted and the ten-inch drum brakes were hydraulically operated using a Lockheed system. Suspension was by half-elliptic springs all round with a live rear axle and beam front axle; Luvax shock absorbers were fitted, the rear ones adjustable from the dashboard. In-built hydraulic jacks were standard. Handsomely styled and more useful than their diminutive TA sports cars, the VA was usually fitted with saloon bodywork although a Tickford drophead body was also offered in addition to a

It was at the 1988 British Motor Show that the sensational Jaguar XJ220 concept prototype was first revealed to the public and, predictably, orders and the mandatory £80,000 deposits flooded in from all corners of the world. Producing an impressive 549bhp at 7,000rpm and 473lb. ft at 4,500rpm. Now slightly shorter, by some 10 inches courtesy of the smaller dimensions of the V6 engine against the bulky V12, but still with a not inconsiderable girth of six feet and six inches, the XJ220 proved more than capable of reaching its target maximum speed. In 1992 at the Italian Nardo test track Formula One and sportscar ace, Martin Brundle recorded 212.3mph around the banking in standard trim and 217.1mph with the catalytic converters disconnected, the latter speed equivalent to 223mph on a straight road. Combined with 0-60mph acceleration in a brutal 3.5 seconds, the XJ220 was indisputably the fastest road car on the planet. Thanks to racing developed inboard wishbone suspension and huge ventilated disc brakes with four piston calipers, it held the road beautifully and stopped equally as well. Production of the car began the following year at a purpose-built factory at Bloxham

in Oxfordshire with the first cars delivered in July to, amongst other well known names, Elton John and the Sultan of Brunei. On the race track, the Jaguar also proved highly effective: in the competition version, the XJ220C, another sportscar ace, Win Percy, took victory on the car’s race debut in the BRDC National Sports GT Challenge. In the 1993 Le Mans 24 Hours John Nielsen, David Brabham and David Coulthard finished first in the GT class, though only for their XJ220C to be subsequently disqualified over a spurious technical infringement. Manufactured in 1996 and first registered in the UK in May 2001, this left hand drive car was purchased by the current owner 3 years ago with a total mileage of 3,576 kilometres. The car has now covered only 4,103 kilometres and has been professionally laid up and stored as part of a very significant private collection. In February 2011 it was sent to the respected Jaguar specialists “Don Law” where it had a new fuel cell fitted and all fuel hoses replaced with stainless steel over braided, along with a full 24 month comprehensive service.

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 4-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 - not least due to the 190SL rising beyond the budgets of many. “HAD 658J” is an original UK righthand drive 280 SL ‘Pagoda’ automatic first registered on the 16th October 1970.

Following on from the enormous success of the Lotus Cortina MK1, Ford introduced the MkII in 1967 with the famous Lotus 1600 twin cam engine now giving 109bhp. Externally, all the cars had a black front grill, 5.5J x 13 steel wheels and Lotus badges on both rear wings and by the rear number plate. The gearbox ratios remained to 2000E spec, but the final drive was lengthened to 3.77 to 1 from 3.9 to 1 and comfort and handling improvements were made with a larger fuel tank and radial tyres. This truly exceptional car has been restored by the highly regarded and very exclusive Lotus Outlaws over the period of three years. So, from the top.... The shell, which was actually in good condition, was completely dis-assembled with every panel removed until just the solid floorpan and skeleton was left. It was then carefully repaired where needed and meticulously rebuilt using entirely New Old Stock panels including bonnet and doors. These NOS panels were specially sourced and acquired over time for the project. The panels were all test-fitted to ensure perfect fit prior to removing them to be painted alongside the shell to the highest standard throughout.

Once the shell was complete the car was then painstakingly rebuilt front to back using New Old Stock parts where it was possible in a true nut and bolt restoration, making sure every component part replaced was of the correct type and style in all the precise places. Of course, the interior was also subject to the same level of detail being retrimmed in the finest leather by expert trimmers and carefully replaced in the car. Since the completion of the restoration in June 2014 that has cost an estimated £40,000 the car hasn’t even truly turned a wheel. Presented with the car is a superb history file containing photographic documentation of the restoration along with various bills and invoices for work undertaken. The phrase “better-than-new” is often overused but we believe it certainly describes this car perfectly.

In 1997, with supercar values on the floor, she suffered light damage to her nearside front. The insurance company, influenced by the high cost of Ferrari parts and the relatively low value of the vehicle at the time, decided not to repair, and the car was declared an insurance “Cat C”.

The Aston Martin DB6 was the swansong for the DB line and is often regarded as the best evolution. Introduced in 1965, Motor magazine was quick to praise the speed and handling of the new body design. With refinement in all areas it was only slightly heavier than the DB5 which contradicted the altogether chunkier appearance. The design brief was to improve rear leg and head room so that the DB6 was a true Grand Tourer, which, in execution it excelled. The most distinctive change was the introduction of the Kamm tail already characteristic of the Ferrari 275GTB/4 for which Aston Martin claimed a 30% reduction in lift at speed on the rear axle. The Tadek Marek designed straight-six engine was bored out to 4.0 litres and power went up to 282bhp giving more than adequate performance for a sports car with Grand Tourer capabilities. Aston Martin had succeeded in replacing the DB5 which benefited from the ‘Goldfinger’ effect with a very worthy successor that raised the bar for sixties British Grand Tourers.

Few cars can claim to be counter-culture heroes, but when Dustin Hoffman had his epiphany in 1967’s generationdefining movie “The Graduate”, he not only did so in the vehicle itself, but the ensuing drama established the film and the vehicle as inseparable in our collective conscience. That would be enough to cement the car’s status, but it didn’t stop there. The name “Duetto” literally means “a song for two voices”, and the design of the car had the distinction of being the last to enjoy a personal association from the legendary Battista “Pinin” Farina his own swansong - whilst the car itself created its own soaring melodies through an astonishing four decades of production - almost unheard of for any car, let alone a sports thoroughbred.

This car, striking in a deep blue paint with the addition in 2010 of black leather upholstery, was presented from Alfa Romeo Italy to Alfa Romeo UK as first owner in May 1969. In the ensuing 45 years she’s lost none of that original charm. Our vendor, custodian of this pretty sportscar since 2010, commissioned a full bare metal re-spray some two years ago which has been executed to a very high standard. Further to this, a complete mechanical overhaul was undertaken to ensure that the car now performs as you would expect. We grant you, she’s not the most powerful of the bunch, but with all that style and in such pleasing cosmetic order this is certainly a car one would be proud to own, and brings a smile to your face on every journey. The paint has held extremely well to the almost flawless body and the result really is as good as the pictures suggest. Don’t miss a trick by letting this car get away.

Various changes of ownership and physical location took place over the ensuing decades and various models came and went, all known for their combination of simplicity and high performance. In the late 1990’s their mainstream product was the ‘Mantis’ which was offered with a potent Rover V8 engine, similar to the TVR’s of the day. This model eventually ‘morphed’ in to the much improved and prettier ‘Mantaray’.
It has covered just 11,000 miles from new with just 2 owners and retains a UK V5 registration document and has just had a 12 MoT certificate granted, along with 2 new rear tyres fitted. Finished in the unusual colour of purple it has stood the test of time well, not least because it had the steel chassis galvanised when built, unlike some of the original cars. It starts well today and sounds eager to perform and offers an excellent driving position, particularly for the taller driver. With so few built (and even less surviving), its a rare and special car with an excellent provenance coming straight from a one time owner of the factory. A fun, still quick and smart convertible for the summer that is now highly collectable.

At the time of first production the Ferrari 456 was the fastest production four seater in the world. Powered by what was essentially a de-tuned but smoother version of the engine powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442 hp. Except for the F40, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that time.

For the 456, Pininfarina worked its magic to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Aerodynamically efficient, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum speed of around 190 mph. Acclaimed on its debut the 456’s styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina’s vision in creating one of most beautiful vehicle designs of modern times. Costing close to £200,000 when new it remains a rare and special car today.

Since being imported in to the UK the car has meticulously been maintained having had no less then 3 Cambelt services and £15,000 worth of expenditure in the last 14 years.

The C4 represented a clean break from the previous generation of Corvette with a completely new chassis and modern, sleeker styling. The primary design emphasis, at least for the launch, was on handling. The price of this no-holds-barred emphasis on handling was ride comfort. The C4 did not use separate body-on-frame construction like its predecessors. Instead, it used what GM termed a “uniframe”, which consisted of a traditional perimeter frame, with the door posts, windshield frame, halo, and the rear portion of the floor pan integrated into one welded assembly.
This great example on offer was imported in to the UK in 2000 and has had just 1 owner prior to our vendor. Showing just 23,000 miles the car is in fantastic condition as can be seen in the full service history.

When the 993 was first launched in 1993 it heralded the acme of engineering know-how in the traditional flat six air-cooled boxer engine from the birth of the very original 911 over 30 years before.

Often cited by enthusiasts as “the last real Porsche” the car straddles the bridge between pure high performance driving thrills, visceral dynamics, and appealing designled 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 allalloy rear suspension. The six speed manual gearbox not only surpassed the previous four and five speed gearboxes in usability, but most commentators also found it to be 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. The Targa, introduced for the 1996 model year, changed the future of Porsche targa roof designs by being an allglass retractable surface rather than removable panels, cementing the link between heightened functionality and aesthetic form demanded by buyers from the 1990s onwards. This design had the added visceral benefit

We can only imagine the astonishment that must have greeted the launch of the second generation XJ in 1973 because there in the line up was a new coupé, it certainly grabbed all the attention. Unheard of before or since, the new car, married a beautiful two door shape and elegant pillarless styling. Arriving at this lithe new shape brought with it several headaches, mainly concerning those cool new windows. For one, Jaguars designers had to come up with a way of getting the rear side glass to miss the wheel arches when lowered. Secondly the actual launch was delayed by two years due to getting a wind tight seal between the side windows and bodywork proved frustratingly difficult. Its debut was in 1973 but didn’t go on sale until spring of 1975. Sir William Lyons is reputed to have said that the XJ-C was his favourite of all the Jaguars he oversaw during his career

2011 marked the 50th birthday of the iconic E-Type, which was well celebrated at our 2011 sale at the Silverstone Classic. This was when the largest gathering of E-Types in the world took to the circuit. From 1961, the E-Type evolved and improved in its lifecycle from the original Series 1 Coupés and Roadsters, through the Series 2 cars of the late 1960s until finally the Series 3 arrived - only in 5.3 V12 format in late 1971. Available only as a convertible or a ‘2+2’, there were only 7,990 convertibles produced worldwide of the Series 3. This original Series III Roadster was built on 10th October 1973 and first registered on 1st November 1974 by Gibbons in Scotland and has been with its present owner since 23rd July 1990. A complete bare metal restoration took place in September 1990 by English Cars of Distinction. The body retained its original colour of Primrose Yellow but the trim was replaced with cream leather and dark brown carpets and mohair hood. The dashboard was also replaced with walnut veneer and a wooden steering wheel fitted to match. The original cockpit instrumentation and switchgear were retained. There are pictures in the history

In addition, the engine had a complete bottom end rebuild with main and big end bearings, timing chain and piston rings rebuilt.

Mechanical components have had numerous upgrades and improvements including stainless steel exhaust manifolds, 4 x SU carburetors, Harvey Bailey handling kit, four pot calipers, aviation spec fuel pump, Koni shock absorbers, re wire and removal of the old emission control system and in June 2014 the gearbox seals were renewed and the torque converter tested.

It is difficult to imagine the impact that the Jaguar E-type had when it was launched back in 1961. When the average saloon had a top speed of 70 mph and most were desperately dull, the E-type was an instant sensation, preempting computer aided design.

The Bristol 403 was produced between 1953 and 1955 by the Bristol Aeroplane Co. (whose car division later became Bristol Cars). The 403 was the third of the eventual five series of Bristol’s powered by the BMW-derived pushrod straight-six engine.
68
Retaining much of the same styling as the 401, the 403 featured many mechanical improvements. The 1971cc six-cylinder engine was modified through the use of bigger valves and larger main bearings, which increased the power output to 100 horsepower as against 85 hp on the 401. To cope with this increased power, an anti-roll bar was fitted on the front suspension and improved drum brakes known as “Alfins” (Aluminum finned) were fitted. The car offered here is an original right hand drive 5 speed manual which, unusually, was first delivered to Switzerland. One would attribute this to post wartime incentives for soldiers purchasing vehicles shortly after WWII.

To say MMO 229L is a significant car in the history of MG would be something of an understatement, this particular MGB GT is none other than the second RHD car ever made, known as car number 96 and the fifth out of six development cars built to evaluate the legendary Rover V8 engine.

Cooper S Minis won the tough long-distance Monte Carlo in 1964 and again in 1965. When Timo Makinen won again the French authorities declared the win null and void. The Mini had broken the rules. How? It had the wrong sort of headlamp bulbs, said the absurd and xenophobic officials. It was sweet revenge when a Cooper S won again in 1967 marking its ground as a formidable competitor and cementing its place in our hearts. (Jonathan Glancey, A History of the Automobile, 2004) It comes as no surprise then that road-going variants of the iconic underdog still have the potential to work us to frenzy even today. Guided at a sensible level for what is a restored but not concours example this fetching 1275cc and twin-tanked Cooper S is surely worthy of consideration? The matching numbers engine, itself rebuilt, rebored and married with new pistons in c2007 has travelled just 100 miles since this time as the car has been stored for a longtime awaiting restoration. To that end, this 1275 ‘S’ was the recipient of a full bare metal respray and corrective body repairs some three years ago which has been completed to a high standard and standing the test of time. Some 18 months later the chrome work was addressed as were w w w.silver s toneauc t ions.com

The Silverstone Classic Sale
This beautiful original righthand drive XK140 was delivered new in 1955 bearing the registration number WTN 533 from the Fox & Hounds garage in Stannington. The car was bought by a wealthy engineer and after much deliberation, mostly concerning the radio, which at the time represented a whopping 10% of the total price. The car was only ever used car for ‘high days and holidays’ with the exception of a trip to Italy. On the way to Italy a stop was made to the Jaguar factory in Coventry due to a particularly stiff 2nd gear. Not only did jaguar fix the problem but also put the couple up for the night and relined the boot to US specification as a gesture of goodwill, a different age for sure! In 1963 business was booming and the owner moved his engineering business in to a new factory. The first occupant was the XK, which at the time needed some remedial work, and as such was parked by the factory heat so it could be worked on in comfort. Then the machines started arriving and the car was boxed in and forgotten about until 1979. The original owner passed away in 1979 and the car was registered in his wife’s name until his nephew bought it in

1979. He then recovered it from the factory after having to move two rather large lathes out of it’s way! He then set about recommissioning the car back to running order which involved a full brake refurbishment and some engine fettling. From years of standing in a working factory, despite being under cover, the paintwork had become dull so the decision was made to repaint the car retaining it’s original colour at the same time. It soon became evident that the long term storage had been detrimental to the engine and in 1982 it was completely overhauled by Osselli Engineering. In 2007 the decision was made to sell the car and our current vendor, who has used the car only on sunny weekends, purchased it. He replaced the original steel wheels and spats for sporting chrome wire wheels. However, the original spats and wheels are present with the vehicle. Recent remedial work overhauling the brakes and giving the car a through service/inspection insures that this lovely old XK still in the classic colour combination of Grey with Burgundy hide is now ready to be enjoyed by the next generation of motoring enthusiast.

Lot 650>> 1971 Datsun 240Z
The Datsun 240Z was the first sports car from the Pacific Rim that achieved huge international success, especially in the USA. And Nissan’s formula for sales success with this car was simple: imitate the British sports car such as the MGC and Triumph GT6, by accentuating their good points and eliminating the legions of faults. The 240Z’s looks were spot on, thanks to styling influenced by a Count Albrecht Goertz concept developed for Datsun in the early 1960’s. Performance from its sporty 2.4-litre straight six power unit, was more than ample. Being a Datsun, reliability was a given, but the agile (if tail-happy) handling was a pleasant surprise. During its five year run, more than 150,000 were produced, but survivors are now seriously appreciating in value. Rust has been its main enemy, which is why this particular car should be given serious consideration.

Whilst the condition of the car speaks for itself, the odometer has just turned 56,000 miles and is believed to be the correct mileage as stated by the sole owner from new in the United States. Unfortunately, he has not kept the receipts and paperwork from earlier years. The 6 cylinder L24 series engine, which has recently been rebuilt by the respected Z specialists “Radatz Motorsports” Georgia, runs on its original twin Hitachi SU carbs, has great oil pressure and sounds really wonderful pulling strongly through all the gears. The wheels are fitted with the rare desirable early D hubcaps and shod with nearly new Michelin classic profile tyres all round. Having just passed its first UK MoT (expiry 04/07/2015) with flying colours, prior to obtaining it’s first UK correct period registration at the DVLA and with import duties paid, this 1970’s icon is ready to experience the country roads of the Isle of Blighty with a new owner.

The Ferrari 328 first appeared in 1985 as the successor to the 308, it featured a normally aspirated 3.2 V8 engine and very handsome styling. It became instantly popular, Ferrari went on to produce 7,400 variants worldwide during the production run which finished late in 1989. Now regarded as a true design classic, this ultimate 270 bhp sportscar of the day reached 0 - 60 in 5.5 seconds and went to a top speed of 166mph. We have the pleasure of offering, what must surely be, one of the most original examples available of this gracefully ageing classic in GTS (Targa top) format. Having covered only 22,000 miles from new, this ABS model 328 is a very special car indeed. First registered on 18th August 1989, it was owned by three collectors prior to the current owner buying the car in September 2009 from Tim Walker. 9 service stamps in the service book detail the mileage of only 22,650 miles. The last cambelt service was conducted by respected marque experts Walkersport at 22,000 miles and the car will be serviced before coming to the auction.

The Jaguar Mk.I was produced from 1955 and 1959 and heralded the first unitary construction combining the chassis and body. It was an immediate success available with either a 2.4 or 3.4 engine option and pitched firmly at the middle-weight executive saloon market. The handling was the best in its class mainly due to a variation of the Jaguar D-type rear suspension and strong body platform. As a race car it soon emerged as the car to have with notable race drivers like Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn and Tommy Sopwith all enjoying wins. It further enhanced Jaguars positioning in the market place quite rightfully and showed all the virtues that Jaguar built their reputation on... Grace, Space and Pace.

It is said to drive very well and comes complete with a full MoT , handbook and jack.

To make it affordable Ford shared the underpinnings of the popular Falcon model, including the front double wishbone/coil spring arrangement and leaf spring rear suspension. The body sat further back on the chassis than the Falcon creating a longer front end and a shorter rear overhang complemented by it’s lower roofline. The iconic running horse sat prominently on the front grill and the ledgend was born.
Showing 66,000 miles and looking absolutely resplendent in silver blue with blue stripes, both the panel gap and overall paint finish on this car are to a high standard. Nicely finished with ‘American Racing’ light alloy wheels the enthusiastic vendor tells us that the car drives very well. Beyond doubt is the fact that it represents an exciting opportunity in to true classic car ownership in a potential sub twenty thousand pound price bracket. It comes to the sale with a fresh 12 months MOT.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963, before being replaced by the more complicated 964 series.These final cars were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164 cc, giving a torquey 231 hp, enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onward received the more user-friendly G50 gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality, ensures that these classics are long-lasting. Supplied by John Lamb Porsche Centre in 1987 the car was highly optioned with not only the ‘M491’ option code Supersport package that includes the wide body styling of the 930 Turbo, the stiffer suspension along with larger 917-derived brakes from the Turbo model. Also optioned on the car were a power hood, heated seats and special order colour of Cassis red.
