(b) The Seller has complied with all requirements relating to any export or import of the Lot as may be required, and has notified Coys in writing of any failure to comply with such requirements by the Seller or any previous owner of the Lot; (c) The Seller has notified Coys in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition or quality of the Lot and has provided Coys with all such information in the Seller’s possession; (d) In the case of a Motor Vehicle which may be lawfully used on a public road, complies with all statutory provisions and that there is in force any test certificate required by law in relation to such use, or the Seller has notified Coys in writing that any such vehicle cannot lawfully be used on a public road; (e) The Seller warrants that the information about the Lot given to Coys, including (for the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) all information set out in the Auction Entry Form, and statements made about it, is true 7.2 The Seller of a Lot not in the possession of Coys on its premises or under its control warrants and undertakes that the Lot will be available and in a deliverable state on demand by the Buyer; . 7.3 The Seller hereby acknowledges that Coys has entered into this contract in reliance on the representations set out in Conditions 7.1(a) to (e) and the information set out in the Auction Entry Form. 7.4 The Seller shall indemnify Coys against any and all actions, claims, actual costs (including legal and expert costs, fees and disbursements), demands, expenses, fines, liabilities, losses, penalties and proceedings arising out of the falsity of any of the warranties and representations set out in Conditions 7.1(a) to (f). 7.5. If Coys has reasonable cause for believing that the Seller is in breach of any one or more of the warranties set out in this Condition 7, Coys may by giving notice in writing to the Seller decline to sell the Lot, and the Seller shall be liable to Coys as though the Seller had withdrawn the lot from sale without Coys consent. If the Lot is in the possession of Coys, it may retain it until any sums due to Coys are paid, the cost of storage being borne by the Seller. 7.6 The Seller shall further indemnify Coys in respect of any actual legal or other costs reasonably incurred by it in investigating any claim concerning the ownership of a Lot and/or the Seller’s right to sell the Lot, the accuracy of the description of the Lot contained in the Catalogue or in defending any claim relating thereto, and Coys shall be entitled to withhold the amount of such costs from any payment due to be made to the Seller in accordance with Condition 2.

8. VEHICLE REGISTRATION NUMBERS 8.1. If the Seller wishes to sell any Motor Vehicle but to retain the right to the registration number of the Vehicle (“VRN”) , it is the Seller’s responsibility to notify Coys in writing either on the Auction Entry Form or sooner. 8.2. It shall be the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current VRN is reserved and that a new number is allocated prior to the Motor Vehicle being sold at the Auction and if he does not do so, Coys shall not be responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever and howsoever arising (including for the avoidance of doubt arising out of Coys’ negligence) out of the Seller’s loss of the right to the VRN following the sale of the Vehicle. 8.3. Coys may, at its own discretion, (without any assumption of responsibility or duty towards the Seller or the Buyer) take such steps to facilitate the reservation or transfer of any particular registration number as it thinks fit in order to assist the Seller or Buyer but strictly on condition that no claim attaches to Coys for taking any such steps whether arising out of Coys’ negligence or any other cause whatsoever. 9. RESERVES 9.1. The Seller may place a reserve price (“Reserve”) on any Lot prior to the Auction and once placed by the Seller, it may not be changed without the written consent of Coys. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by Coys in writing. 9.2. Where a Reserve has been agreed, only Coys may bid on behalf of the Seller. If the Seller makes such bid, then the Auctioneer may knock the Lot down to the Seller without observing any Reserve and the Seller shall pay to Coys the Buyer’s Premium in addition to the Seller’s Commission and Expenses. 9.3. Where a Reserve is agreed, Coys may in its sole discretion sell a Lot for less than the Reserve but shall account to the Seller as if the Lot had been sold for the Reserve. 9.4. Where no Reserve has been placed, the Seller may bid either personally or through the agency of any person. 9.5. If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, Coys shall not be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue, save insofar as and limited to the extent that the same arises out of the actual fault or negligence of Coys. 10. COMMISSION AND EXPENSES 10.1. The parties hereby acknowledge that Coys shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price a Seller’s Commission of 10% plus VAT (or, in the case of automobilia, 15% plus VAT) or such other sum agreed by Coys in writing, plus any Expenses, and any other sums due from the Seller to Coys. 10.2. The Buyer shall pay (and the Seller acknowledges Coys’ entitlement to) a Buyer’s Premium equal to 15% of the first £30,000 or €50,000 of the Hammer Price, and 10% upon such of the Hammer Price as exceeds £30,000 or €50,000, plus VAT. 11. PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATIONS The Seller permits Coys without payment to photograph and make illustrations of any Lot and to use at its discretion any photograph or illustration of or in respect of a Lot supplied by the Seller, whether or not in conjunction with the Auction. The copyright in all photographs taken and illustrations made of any Lot by or on behalf of Coys shall be the absolute property of Coys. 12. COYS’ ESTIMATES AND DESCRIPTIONS 12.1. Coys make no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Any estimate given by Coys, whether written or oral and whether or not printed in any Catalogue for the Auction, as to the estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at Coys’ sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price. 12.2. Coys shall not be liable to the Seller for any error or mis-statement in or omission from the description of any Lot in any Catalogue where:(a) Coys have been provided with such description by the Seller or any person on his behalf; or (b) Coys have provided the Seller with a copy of such description prior to publication of the


Catalogue and neither the Seller nor any person on his behalf have notified Coys in writing within seven days of any error or mis-statement in or omission from the description. 12.3. Any Motor Vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. Coys has to rely on information as to date, condition authenticity, maintenance, repairs and restoration provided by Sellers and does not, and cannot, undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lots to establish whether the vehicle or other Lot conforms with the description in the catalogue. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to carry out such inspection as he thinks necessary. Unless a vehicle is described as wholly original, the Buyer may not assume that all or any part of it is original. 12.4. No warranty is given by Coys as to the accuracy of the description of any Lot in any Catalogue or as to the age, authenticity, suitability, provenance, attribution, origin, condition, fitness for purpose, merchantable or satisfactory quality of any Lot or roadworthiness of any Motor Vehicle, and any warranties or conditions that would otherwise be implied by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 in relation to the foregoing are hereby expressly excluded. 12.5. Coys has no duty to the Seller to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller. 13. WITHDRAWAL OF LOTS 13.1. The Seller may by notice in writing to Coys withdraw the Lot from the Auction. In the event of such withdrawal, the Seller shall within 14 days of withdrawal pay Coys the sums set out in this Condition 13. All such sums shall be payable to Coys as remuneration for the services performed by Coys down to the date of withdrawal, and not by way of penalty or liquidated damages. 13.2 In all cases of withdrawal, including under 7.5 above, the Seller shall be liable to pay Coys 10% of the estimated value of the Lot, notwithstanding that commission of a lesser, or no, amount had previously been agreed, to reflect the time, effort, loss of publicity and buyer’s premium suffered by Coys. The estimated value shall be the higher of:(a) The Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to Coys or, if more than one figure, the highest figure or if none; (b) The value estimated in the Catalogue, or if more than one figure is given, the highest figure; (c) If none of the above apply such figure as Coys shall reasonably estimate as the value. (d) Plus in each case VAT on such fee and Expenses. 13.3. In the event that the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction after the publication of the Auction catalogue, the Seller shall in addition to the sum set out in Condition 13.2, be liable to pay Coys a further sum equal to the Buyer’s Premium (as defined in Condition 10.2 above) that would have been payable upon the Lot realising the aforesaid estimated value at Auction, plus VAT. 13.4. In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction, the Seller shall arrange for collection and removal of the Lot at his own expense within two working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless and until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 13.2 and 13.3 shall have been paid in full. 14. UNSOLD LOTS 14.1 Where any Lot fails to sell at the Auction, Coys will have the sole and exclusive right to sell the Lot by private treaty within 14 days of the Auction date. These terms and conditions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Condition 9 as to Reserves) shall govern any such sale by private treaty. 14.2. Unless Coys elects to sell the Lot by private treaty in accordance with Clause 14.1, the Seller shall arrange for the removal of any unsold Lot by 1.00 pm the day following the Auction or by such other time as agreed by Coys. 14.3. Failure to remove any unsold Lot pursuant to Condition 14.2 above will entitle Coys to charge the Seller a reasonable storage charge per day. The Seller shall further reimburse Coys for

any reasonable removal, insurance and other expenses. 14.4. If within 28 days after the Auction the Seller fails to give instructions to Coys regarding the disposal of the Lot, Coys shall have the exclusive right at its election to: (a) sell the Lot by private treaty, or (b) by Auction without Reserve, in either case in accordance with these Conditions. In such case, Coys shall be entitled to deduct from any sale price all sums owing to Coys including the Seller’s Commission and any charges incurred under this Condition 14. 15. RISK AND INSURANCE 15.1 The Lot shall at all times remain at the risk of the Seller until ownership of the Lot passes from the Seller to the Buyer under these Conditions. At no time shall ownership of the Lot pass to Coys other than in accordance with clause 21.4(e)(iii). 15.2 Until such time as risk passes to the Buyer in accordance with Condition 18, responsibility for arranging insurance for the Lot shall remain with the Seller, whereupon it shall pass to the Buyer. In no case shall Coys undertake responsibility for arranging insurance. 15.3. Coys will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot unless caused by the negligence of Coys, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to Coys or by the Seller’s negligence or other breach of the Conditions. The Seller or the Buyer (as appropriate) shall compensate Coys in full in respect of all claims and proceedings brought against Coys in respect of injury, loss or damage caused by the Seller’s or Buyer’s (as appropriate) negligence or breach of any obligation under the Conditions. 16. THE BUYER 16.1. The Buyer shall be the highest bidder at the Auction. The Buyer’s bid shall form the basis of the Hammer Price. Any dispute as to any bid shall be settled by the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion. 16.2. Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless prior to the commencement of the Auction there is a written acceptance by Coys that a bidder acts as agent on behalf of the named principal, and that its principal has agreed to and/ or is bound by these Conditions; in which case he shall be jointly liable with the principal by these Conditions. 16.3. No person shall be entitled to bid at the Auction without first having completed and delivered to Coys a bidder’s registration form and bidders attention is drawn to the information in the Catalogue under the heading “General Information”. 17. ABSENTEE BIDS Whilst the interest of prospective Buyers are best served by attendance at the Auction, Coys will if so instructed execute bids on behalf of prospective bidders. Coys, its agents or employees shall not be responsible for any defaults beyond Coys’ control relating to telephone, fax or other absentee bids including without limitation any telecommunications fault or failure. 18. SALE 18.1. A contract of sale is made between the Seller and the Buyer on the acceptance of a bid by the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Coys is not a party to the contract of sale and has no liability for any act or default by the Seller or the Buyer. 18.2. The Buyer shall :(a) Immediately upon a Lot is sold, give to Coys his name and address and, if so requested, proof of identity if he has not already done so; and (b) Pay to Coys as agent for the Seller the Purchase Price in accordance with Condition 20.1 unless credit terms have been agreed with Coys in writing before the Auction. 18.3. Full payment for all Lots must be made to Coys by means of bankers draft, cash, telegraphic transfer or debit card in pounds sterling or the currency in which the sale was conducted. Where the Buyer wishes to pay by cheque and Coys has agreed that the Buyer may do so, the Lot will not be released until the cheque has been cleared. 18.4. No Lot may be collected until the Purchase Price has been received by Coys and payments by a Buyer to Coys may be applied by Coys towards any sums due from that Buyer to Coys on any account whatsoever notwithstanding any

directions to the contrary by the Buyer or his agent whether express or implied. 18.5. The ownership of the Lot will pass to the Buyer only when the Purchase Price in cleared funds has been received by Coys. 18.6. Immediately a Lot is sold the risk shall pass to the Buyer notwithstanding that possession will not be given and ownership will not pass to the Buyer before payment of the Purchase Price in full and Coys will not be responsible for any damage to or the loss or destruction of the Lot or any injury, loss or damage caused by the Lot unless caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by Coys, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to Coys. The Buyer will compensate Coys in full in respect of all claims and proceedings brought against Coys in respect of any loss or damage to the Lot or injury, loss or damage caused by it not arising from the negligence of or other breach of duty by Coys, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to Coys. 19. VALUE ADDED TAX VAT payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price may be refundable by Customs and Excise on proof of export, but Coys makes no warranties in this regard. 20. PAYMENT OF SALE PROCEEDS 20.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both Coys and the Seller, the Buyer shall pay Coys forthwith and in any event no later than 35 days from the Auction the Purchase Price. 20.2. Coys shall pay the Net Sale Proceeds to the Seller not later than 35 days after the Auction, or within five working days after receiving cleared funds from the Buyer, whichever shall be the later. Coys shall be under no liability as a result of or arising out of any delay or failure by the Buyer in making payment. 20.3 Unless an alternative method of payment has been agreed by Coys in writing, payment of the Net Sale Proceeds shall be made by sending to the Seller a cheque drawn on Coys’ client account by first class post at the Seller’s risk. 20.4. Coys may in its discretion withhold remittance of the Net Sale Proceeds to the Seller until such time as the Seller has deposited with Coys the V5 registration document in the case of a UK registered vehicle or, in the case of an unregistered, or non-UK registered vehicle, the appropriate documents of title (ownership) relevant and appropriate to the country of registration of the vehicle, and any other documentation relating to the vehicle in the Seller’s possession or control which he agreed with Coys to supply. 21.

If the Buyer continues to fail to make payment of the Purchase Price in full within 14 days of it falling due under Condition 20.1, Coys may (if so instructed by the Seller, or acting of its own motion in accordance with Condition 21.4 below) without prejudice to any other rights it may have, exercise one or more of the following additional remedies: (a) To institute proceedings against the Buyer in its own name, or in the name of the Seller for damages or specific performance for breach of the sale contract; (b) To institute proceedings against the Buyer in its own name in respect of the Buyer’s Premium

If the Buyer fails or refuses to pay the Purchase Price in full within 35 days of the Auction, Coys will notify the Seller who may instruct Coys as to the appropriate course of action, including (where permitted under Clause 21.2) but not limited to one or more of the courses of action set out in Condition 21.4 below. Such notice will draw attention to the 14 day limit for the provision of instructions as set out in Condition 21.4 below. Coys shall if instructed take reasonable steps to assist the Seller but Coys shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name or personally incur any cost or expense. 21.4. In the absence of any written instructions from the Seller to Coys within 14 days of Coys’ notice to the Seller served in accordance with Condition 21.3 above then Coys shall in its sole discretion be entitled to do any of the following in its capacity as the Seller’s agent and with the Seller’s full authority:(a) To agree terms for the payment of the Purchase Price with the Buyer; (b) To remove, store and insure the Lot at the expense of the Buyer; (c) To settle claims and/or proceedings made by or against the Buyer on such terms as Coys shall at its absolute discretion think fit; (d) To take such steps as Coys shall at its absolute discretion consider necessary to collect the monies due from the Buyer; (e) Where appropriate to rescind and/or terminate the sale and in its sole discretion: (i) Return the Lot to the Seller, and distribute any monies received to the Buyer in accordance with Conditions 21.5 and/or 21.6; (ii) Offer the Lot for re-sale, by Auction or private treaty, with or without Reserve; (iii) Purchase the Lot itself at the Hammer Price or such other price as may be agreed with the Seller, in which case property in the Lot shall pass to Coys and Coys shall remit the Hammer Price to the Seller within fourteen days of its election less any sums payable pursuant to Condition 21.5 below; (f) To appoint a solicitor and/or other agent to pursue any of the courses of action referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) to (e) above and the Seller authorises Coys to take any of the courses referred to in this Condition 21.4, including the issue and prosecution of proceedings on the Seller’s behalf and in the Seller’s name. 21.5.

Christopher Wood published this book managing to capture Fleming’s essence and setting Bond in the modern world amongst the Science Fiction plot that he and Maibaum conceived.

1980 Volkswagen Beetle “ Childs Car” Registration Number:N/A

Chassis Number: N/A

Estimate: £3,000 - £4,000

The present owner purchased this wonderful little car around 10 years ago from a friend of the family who had originally purchased it from Harrods in London in the early 1970s for his children. The car was purchased in its original state and was originally white in colour. Over the last few years, the car has been fully restored.The car has a tubular steel chassis which has been powder coated. They have fully refurbished the 250cc Briggs & Stratton engine. The owners replaced the wiring loom and incorporated a period radio from a real VW beetle. The car now also benefits from Electronic ignition and has the key start, and working head lights. The body is made from Fibre Glass, however it has been fully restored and professionally painted in Beryl Green which is a Volkswagen colour used in the 1960s and 1970s. The interior is mostly original and has just been very well cleaned.

The Exhaust has been modified to run through the tubular chassis, so has two real working tail pipes. It has a great sound and actually sounds a bit like a VW beetle. This is a great little car for any child especially with Christmas around the corner! It looks wonderful and sounds great – an amazing present for a very lucky little person!

1958 Bianchina Transformabile Registration Number: Italian Registered

Chassis Number: 001085

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000

Founded in 1899 by Eduardo Bianchi, the Bianchi Company made vehicles for 56 years. These included full-size cars, tanks, and trucks with Mercedes engines. But the factory was destroyed during the war and he had been unable to recover. In 1955, Milanese industrialist Ferrucio Quintavalle organised a new company involving Bianchi, Fiat, and the Pirelli Tire Company, called Autobianchi SpA. Trucks would continue to be manufactured by the firm, and motorcycles would be manufactured by Eduardo Bianchi SpA. Two years later, at the Milan show, the first car to carry the name Autobianchi arrived. The Bianchina Transformabile (Convertible) was one of the first adaptations of the 500 Nuova, using its chassis, engine, and transmission, but with a very attractively styled coupe body with a roll-back roof, reminiscent of the French Vespa 400. In 1958, it was given a stronger engine and became available as a sedan, coupe, convertible, and station wagon. During this year, Giuseppe Bianchi, Eduardo’s son, sold the family holdings in Autobianchi to Fiat, and in 1963, Fiat gained full control. In 1960, just over 30,000 of these cars were built. The 1960 Geneva show saw the debut of what was arguably the prettiest of all the models, the Bianchina Special Convertible. It was a little luxury car, with a luxury price, and it was immediately accepted by the fashionable jet setters as a second car or runabout. Designer Luigi Rapi drew a well proportioned shape, highlighted by a side spear chrome moulding. Interior fittings were more attractive. The indicators were fitted separately below the headlights, not on the bumper guards. The cooling slots on the side below the doors and the chrome borders below the body edge were eliminated, and the windscreen was more angular. The model went through three series with minor alterations and improvements, in total 9,350 units of the Bianchina Cabriolet were built. This lovely Bianchina Trasformabile is presented in a desirable two-tone colour combination, and equipped with a very rare air fan, and its original road wheels. The car is in very original condition, and mechanically we are informed it performs well. In short, it’s great fun to drive! Collectors should note the car retains many rare Bianchina features such as the steering wheel with Autobianchi logo. A wonderful toy that it’s also a very good investment for every car lover. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description.

1959 Bristol 406 Factory Development Car Registration Number: NA

Chassis Number: 407–1-13

Estimate: NO RESERVE

This 406 is a unique Bristol in that it’s fitted with the Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire engine. In the late 1950s The Bristol Aeroplane Company and the Hawker Siddeley Group had agreed to co-ordinate their activities in order to win a contract from the government to build the Olympus aero engine. The combination of their engine divisions, Bristol Aero Engines and Armstrong Siddeley Motors, resulted in Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd. This company, and later on Rolls-Royce Aero Engines eventually developed the Pegasus engine which was seen some twenty years later in the Harrier ‘jump jet’. Bristol Cars Ltd became a subsidiary of Bristol Siddeley. The new board expressed interest in increasing the number of Bristol cars produced, and the Siddeley engines could have proved useful to reach their targets. With Siddeley three and four litre V8 engines in the pipeline they decided that the natural starting point was the three litre straight six: the Star Sapphire. It was a large engine, which resulted in the front part of the 406 bulkhead being removed in order to squeeze it in to the engine compartment, and was mated to the automatic three speed DG Borg Warner ‘box with gear changes controlled from the steering column. The automatic gearbox marks this car out as a first of a new breed for Bristol and as such it’s an intriguing machine. The car never went in to production and by early 1960 the new board considered scaling down the production of Bristol Cars. Sir George White, who was not on the board of Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd., bought Bristol for the sum of £145,000, becoming the sole proprietor. By late 1960 he had sold a forty percent share to Tony Crook who by then had become the largest distributer of Bristol cars. The rest, as they say, is history. The car comes complete with various trim items with the interior finished in grey and the body in pale green which have the look of being original. The chassis and transmission are described as being in good order. This 406 development car represents a poignant part of the Bristol Cars Ltd story, and is unique and features in Christopher Balfour’s book Bristol Cars: A Very British Story. Owning a factory development car is a rare treat for collectors of any marque with this Bristol requiring restoration and as a collectors’ item is, undoubtedly, a very rare machine and is offered at No Reserve.

Sinn recalled going through the options list with a Mr Boni, the sales manager, and choosing Bordeaux Red paint with a metallic base and two-tone upholstery. Sinn returned when the car was ready and toured Europe before embarking for America: ‘I was catching the QE2, sailing from Marseilles to New York,’ he said. ‘They let me put the car on the ship and store it below decks, so that when I got off in New York I could drive it home to Toronto. Every couple of days I would go down and look at it, just to make sure there was no seawater damage!’ Sinn’s father died in 1989, leaving a Hong Kong-based shipping business and estate to tie up, which led to his leaving Canada for six years. Busy with work on his return, he never got around to disinterring the Daytona – until now. The car has been coaxed back to running condition but needs more work before regular use. RM’s estimate is ‘in excess of $600,000 (£394,000)’.

2. Bristol 406 one-off: missing link or dead end? In 1959, Bristol’s aero-engine business merged with Hawker-Siddeley to become Bristol-Siddeley, which in turn looked after Bristol Cars as a subsidiary. Hawker brought Armstrong-Siddeley with it, and the new company’s board asked Bristol Cars to fit an Armstrong-Siddeley Star Sapphire engine to a Bristol chassis. The resulting 406 acquired the unflattering nickname of ‘The Heap’, according to Tony Crook, quoted in Christopher Balfour’s book, Bristol Cars. It used a Borg Warner DG automatic transmission and must have barely been signed off before Armstrong-Siddeley’s car and engine production wound up in 1960. It seems this car was used regularly and was very well looked after at least until 1973 or 1974. Ian Wallace of Bristol Cars, which is now offering the project for sale, takes up the story.

Paying someone else to restore an aluminium-oversteel GT car – think Aston Martin DB – can easily lead to a six-figure bill. One for the skilled homerestorer, then? In this 406’s case, there is work to repair that dented nose, but also the possibility of rust in the extensive substructure. On the plus side, the car is complete, saving headaches over hardto-find trim parts, and the Armstrong engine will be cheaper to rebuild than a Bristol unit. Bristol Cars is coy about the asking price, but it isn’t huge – its overriding concern is to see this piece of history revived. WORTH DOING? For any Bristol fan with deep pockets and/or considerable DIY skills, it certainly is. After all, owning a factory development car that marked a crucial turning point in Bristol’s history is a rare opportunity. Profit hunters should forget it, though – even the car’s unique specification is unlikely to produce a finished market value that would cover costs.

‘We have people who remember seeing it being serviced by the factory in the early Seventies – it was a stand-out example at the time. The previous owner to the one who is now selling the car found it in a lock up in west London in 1985, very much as it appears now. At the time, the owner shared some storage with a Bristol specialist. Between them, they got the car running until the lack of an exhaust meant that they put it back in the owner’s shed when they grew tired of the noise!’ Wallace says the car now needs a full restoration, while pointing out that the pale green metallic paint and grey leather interior seem to be original – and the car appears to be complete. With 60bhp more than the standard 406 engine, the 4.0-litre Armstrong unit (with hemispherical heads and decent tuning potential) would have provided a hike in performance, even if the extra weight of the engine may have affected the handling balance.

The automatic gearbox also marks the car out as the first of a new breed for Bristol, and as such it’s an intriguing machine. 3. Pre-war projects emerge from scaffolder’s yard A garage owner with a keen interest in classic cars discovered two rather foxed pre-war saloons in a scaffolder’s yard only two lots down the road from his own business in Edinburgh. Lukasz Goralski found the trailer-bound and corroded Lanchester 18 from 1937 in front of a Hillman New Minx of 1939. He bought them both to save them from disposal, and is keen to get the Hillman on the road. ‘There’s a leaky core-plug at the back of the engine, but it’s a simple little sidevalve of 1185cc and not difficult to remove and sort out, so I’m hoping it won’t take much to get it going,’ he says. ‘The car has a handwritten service record running from January 1946 – when it had

1931 Matchless 592cc Silver Hawk - earliest known example Registration Number: LJ 3153

Frame Number/Engine Number: : 512/B528

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000

Matchless, founded by the Collier brothers, remained one of the strongest performers in the industry, even in the 1930s depression, a period which saw many of its rivals in serious trouble. Despite this, both Matchless and rivals Ariel launched four-cylinder models in 1931; the technically-brilliant Matchless lasting for four years only, the less-radical Ariel going on into the ‘fifties. The Matchless Silver Hawk was launched during the 1930 Motorcycle Show at Olympia, London as their range-leading luxury model. The amazing example you see here has not only been comprehensively restored, but also comes with continuous ownership from new. Built in 1931 on what is now recognised as the oldest surviving Silver Hawk frame, this amazing survivor has only 5 recorded owners from new, with incredibly only one owner from 1956 to 2014. The first registered keeper was a Mr. Leslie McEvoy from Sidcup, Kent, who enjoyed his new motorcycle until 1951, after which he passed it on to a Mr. Peter Barnett from Chesham, and then to a Mr. Patrick Coates from Thames Ditton, who kept the Matchless until 1956. In 1956 the Matchless was sold to Mr. Alan Lewis, who owned the bike for 58 years. Mr. Lewis used the bike for commuting and cross-country dashes, where he found the sprung frame and flexible engine both highly capable, and very entertaining. After some years it was placed into long term storage, only to be unearthed last year. During 2014/2015 the bike enjoyed a highly comprehensive restoration, which has only just been completed. The mechanical work was undertaken by leading Matchless specialist Roger Ashby, who rebuilt the engine and gearbox, amongst other mechanical components. This magnificent bike is said to run very well, having had its maiden journey in early October after nearly 58 years in storage and an 18 month restoration. This motorcycle is the earliest frame recorded by the Matchless Silver Hawk register and will be sold with its original instruction book, parts book, two 1950s tax discs and restoration file. Supplied with a current V5 and original buff log book, this is a fabulous example of an iconic motorcycle, and a genuine once in a lifetime opportunity.

1969 Fiat 500 Beach Car Registration Number: CYY 276G

Chassis Number: 11F - 2287190

Estimate: ÂŁ28,000 - ÂŁ35,000

The Fiat 500 (The Cinqocente) was without doubt the motor car that gave motoring to the Italian public. Until its introduction, motoring was mainly restricted to the aristocracy or the very rich of Italy. With the arrival of the Fiat 500, at last an average working person was able to buy their own motor car, and give them the freedom and enjoyment they craved. With the introduction of this revolutionary small car, created years before the Mini, was taken to the Italian public’s heart, and soon was adopted by the prestige Italian coachbuilders such as Touring, Pininfarina or Vignale, all vying with each

other to create their own variation of chachwork design from open topped sports car to estate in many forms. The most well-known, and to many the prettiest of all these variants, was the Ghia designed Jolly, a four-seater open beach car with no doors and infusing nothing but fun in its design. These superb designs were soon adopted by the rich and famous film stars and millionaires of the time that spent their summers in the Mediterranean and Riviera, with them being used as shore cars, carried on their luxury yachts, or merely going from their Riviera villa to the beach or restaurant. An iconic car of the late 50s and 60s. This superb 1969 Fiat 500 has been rebuilt literally from the ground up to Jolly specification, taking a painstaking three years. The bodywork has been rebuilt using an internal tubular chassis, over which new hand-rolled internal and external body panels have been fitted, with extra body stiffening to the pillars and dash to further improve its rigidity, giving this fun car impressive and fun handling.


Further to improve its driveability, a fully rebuilt 650cc engine with synchro mesh transmission has been installed; with a nod to modernity, a modern alternator has also been fitted, and to complete this superb car’s styling, it is complete with external chrome trim bars and hand-woven wicker seats, complete with striped Bimini top. This superb Fiat is ready for the Riviera or the Amalfi coast next summer.

1978 Porsche 930 Turbo Coupé - 46,000 Miles from new One of 35 Cars Delivered New to the UK Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 9308700395

Estimate: 50,000- £60,000

Group 4 homologation rules, which required 400 road cars to be built, led to the formation of ‘Project 930’ – the legendary 911 Turbo. Production began in April 1975: the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to the 3.0 litre RSR engine, in road trim a combination that delivered 260bhp for a top speed of 155mph. As impressive as this was, there was more to the Turbo than just top speed, it was also the best equipped 911 and amazingly flexible - hence only four speeds in the gearbox - being capable of racing from a standstill to 100mph in 14 seconds. Borrowing the flared wheel arches and ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler from the Carrera model, the Turbo made them renowned. Incorporating the most luxurious interior yet seen in a 911, the Turbo featured leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows. The Turbo’s engine was enlarged to 3.3 litres for 1978, gaining an intercooler in the process; power increased to 300bhp and the top speed of what was the fastest accelerating road car of its day went up to 160mph. More refined and offering better performance than its predecessor, the Turbo sold in the thousands, becoming the definitive sports car of its age. Supplied new to the UK through Porsche Cars Great Britain and registered in March 1978, Chassis 00395 was finished in G8 Guards Red, with interior options 68 Black leather and a black roof liner (coding 469). Purchased by the current vendor’s uncle in 1984, and registered RO115, the car was used sparingly for the occasional weekend trip and always garaged until the current vendor purchased it from him in 2003. With a comprehensive history file dating back to 1984 and MoTs to support the mileage, this cherished example is certainly well presented. The highly original interior is commensurate with the low mileage, and both body transmission and engine are in excellent order. The clutch was renewed in 2003, and new dyover head bolts were fitted amongst other sensible upgrades (paperwork in the car’s file). Recent expenditure has also included the fitting of a stainless steel exhaust, stainless steel heat exchangers and the engine has been upgraded with hydraulic tappet adjusters. Not to be confused with the average 930 Turbos available, this rare early 78’ example has history spanning the last three decades of ownership. A wonderful example - offered with low mileage and in the most period colour combination.

1983 Rolls-Royce Camargue Registration Number: OYL385Y

Chassis Number: SCAYJ0004CCH05963

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000

The Rolls-Royce Camargue is a two-door saloon manufactured and marketed by Rolls-Royce Motors from 1975-1986. Designed by Paolo Martin at Pininfarina, the Camargue was the first post-war production Rolls Royce not designed in-house. With bodywork manufactured in London by Rolls Royce’s coachbuilding division Mulliner Park Ward, the Camargue reached a production of 530 units over 11 model years. At launch, the Camargue was the Rolls-Royce’s flagship and the most expensive production car in the world. The Camargue shared its platform with the Rolls-Royce Corniche and Silver Shadow.

It was powered by the same 6.75 L V8 engine as the Silver Shadow, although the Camargue was slightly more powerful. This wonderful example in Cream with piped Cream interior upholstery was supplied new by Jack Barclay in London and spent some time in Japan in a private collection and then in the USA in another private collection. The car was purchased in 1996 and re-imported to the UK, the vehicle was subsequently stored in an undercover warehouse until sold to the present owner.


This example also has the extremely rare optional extra of full leather head-lining which cost as much as a new Mini back in 1975! The present owner had a new Air Condition system installed, new carburetors, new alternator and had it re sprayed in 2014. This is a truly wonderful, iconic, Italian styled luxury coupe of the heady days of the 1980s when money had a different meaning and ostentatiousness was very much in vogue! Sublime motoring with head turning appeal – not to be missed.

2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S Registration Number: EU Taxes Cleared

Chassis Number:

Estimate: NO RESERVE

Developed from the 1998 Project Vantage concept car, the V12 Vanquish entered production in 2001. The Vanquish marked a large step in the company’s engineering featuring a bonded aluminium chassis combined with many pieces of traditional craftsmanship ushering in a new era for Aston Martin. V12 Vanquish featured a body tub made from extruded aluminium and Carbon Fibre with extensive use of more Carbon Fibre and composite materials throughout the crash structure of the car. This extremely rigid and safe body-shell was then clothed in hand-finished, Superformed aluminium panels. Underneath the handmade bonnet sat a 460bhp version of the Aston Martin V12 engine, delivering its power via a 6-speed manual gearbox controlled by an electro-hydraulic paddle shift gear change. In 2002 the V12 Vanquish became the latest Aston Martin to be driven by James Bond. This special car was painted in Tungsten Silver and was fitted with a number of non-standard options including rockets, guns, ejector seat, and an invisible ‘cloaking device’ – all provided courtesy of ‘Q-branch’ of course. Building on the sales success of the original Vanquish the Vanquish S featured an increase in engine power (up from 460bhp to 520bhp) and revised gear and back axle ratios. Top speed was quoted as being in excess of 200mph, making it one of the fastest Aston Martin road cars built at Newport Pagnell. The exterior panels were still lovingly hand finished in the factory panel shop from ‘Superformed’ aluminium. Discreet changes to the ‘S’ included a bigger, revised grille, front splitter and a raised rear ‘spoiler’ built into the boot lid to keep the car stable at high speed.


Inside, the Vanquish S showed what could be achieved with beautiful hand stitched leather. The dashboard and many of the smaller interior pieces were now trimmed in hide adding to the bespoke feel of the already impressive 2+0 or 2+2 cabin. Very late cars adopted updated switchgear, an Aston Martin audio system and standard fit Satellite Navigation screen. As the production life of the Vanquish drew close to the end, a very special limited edition of 50 cars were built. The Vanquish Ultimate featured a unique metallic black paint finish and special trim and fittings. The vendor of this excellent Right Hand Drive example is a long-time Vanquish owner who decided to replace his high mileage model with the best low mileage example he could find. His business interests take him frequently to Japan, where he found two fantastic examples on offer. Unable to decide between the two, he simply bought both, later deciding which one to keep for himself. As such we are delighted to be able to offer this lovely car today.

Due to the lower mileages covered, coupled with the more favourable climate, Japanese-sourced cars are often in far better condition than their European counterparts. As testament to this, UK specialist JCT600 have just performed a comprehensive inspection and issued this Vanquish with a clean bill of health. Finished in the stunning combination of Titanium Silver with a contrasting Phantom Grey hide interior, this is a truly wonderful GT car which is widely tipped to be the “next big thing� in Aston circles. Showing a mere 16,000 miles from new, and offered at no reserve, this unrepeatable RHD Vanquish S will be sold to the highest bidder on the day.

1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible. Over $150,000 restoration. Registration Number:EU taxes paid

Chassis Number: 1946758122794

Estimate: £40,000 - £60,000

Back in 1953, Chevrolet’s launch of a twoseater sports car was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Based on the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette made use of existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was wrapped striking Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. Motive power came from Chevrolet’s 235.5ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve straight six and, unusually for a sports car, there was automatic transmission, a feature that attracted much adverse criticism at the time. Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory but with an inferior performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet’s need to compete with Ford’s Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical re-style for ’56 had consolidated the Vette’s position in the market before arrival of the heavily revised ‘Sting Ray’ version. Introduced for 1963, the Sting Ray sported a totally new ladder-type chassis, and for the first time there was a Gran Turismo coupé in the range. As had been the case with the previous (1956-62) generation of Corvettes, development proceeded slowly, being characterised by annual facelifts and few engineering changes of note. On the latter front, the long-overdue arrival of four-wheel disc brakes was the most significant development for 1965, while Chevrolet’s 327ci (5.4-litre) standard V8 was joined by an optional 396ci (6.5-litre) Big Block for ’65 only, then a ‘427’ until the end of Sting Ray production in 1967. The ‘Stingray’, of course, continued and the Corvette would go on to become the world’s best-selling and longest-lived sports car.

1999 Ferrari Registration Number:Non- EU registered

Chassis Number: ZFFXR41JPN0114864

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000

‘Complex, sophisticated, and very fast, it is the quantum leap that has enabled the Ferrari V8 to run in proud parallel with the 456GT and 550 Maranello,’ enthused Car magazine’s review of the F355. First presented to the motoring press in May 1994, the F355 effectively re-forged the reputation of Ferrari’s V8 which, 328 and 348 notwithstanding, had suffered since the introduction of the Mondial ‘world car’. The latter, with its four seats, wellappointed interior, and - relatively - soft ride, was considered far too sensible to be a ‘proper’ Ferrari; the F355 though, was cast in the mould of that great driver’s car, the Dino 246GT. Just how great an advance it was may be gauged from the fact that the F355’s best time around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track was three seconds quicker than the formidable 512 TR’s. Despite its prodigious performance the F355 was no mere ‘racer on the road’ but a thoroughly modern automobile employing state-of-the-art technology, in the form of computer-controlled variable damping, to reconcile the differing requirements of ultimate roadholding and acceptable comfort. A light-action clutch, proportional power-assisted steering, and driver’s air bag were other features calculated to make the car reassuringly user-friendly.


The heart of the F355 though, was its phenomenal 3.5-litre V8 engine. Equipped with four overhead camshafts and five valves per cylinder - a layout borrowed from Ferrari’s Formula 1 engine - this remarkable unit produced a claimed 370bhp at 8,250rpm, with 268lb/ft of torque available from 5,000 to 6,500rpm. A six-speed gearbox, mounted transversely behind the longitudinally disposed engine, ensured a sufficiency of ratios to keep the motor on the boil whatever the situation. This left hand drive F355 is finished in the iconic Ferrari shade of Rosso Corsa with a complementary Nero interior both of which are in good condition; chassis 114864 was delivered new with a Fiorano handling pack and air conditioning. Having covered a mere 31,000 miles from new, this wonderful F1 gearbox specification car with surely the most desirable body style is not to be missed.

VAT is payable on the hammer price of this vehicle unless exported outside the EU.

1968 Lotus Elan S4 Coupe - Sprint Specification Registration Number: MER 78G

Chassis Number:

Estimate: £22,000 - £30,000

Lotus Elan is the name of two convertible cars and one fixed head coupé produced by Lotus Cars. The original Type 26, 26R Racing version (of the S1 Elan), 36R Racing version (of the S2 Elan), 36 Fixed Head Coupe, 45 Drop Head Coupe, and the “Type 50” +2 Coupe, circa 1962 to 1975, are commonly known as the 1960s Elans. The original Elan was introduced in 1962 as a roadster, although an optional hardtop was offered in 1963 and a coupé version in 1965. It was the first Lotus road car to use a steel backbone chassis with a fibreglass body. At 1,600 lb (726 kg), the Elan embodied the Colin Chapman minimum weight design philosophy. Initial versions of the Elan were also available as a kit to be assembled by the customer. The Elan was technologically advanced with a DOHC 1557 cc engine, 4-wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, and 4-wheel independent suspension. The present owner of this particular example purchased the car from a Mr. Winder in Cumbria, where it had been his late wife’s for well over 20 years. The car was left unused upon her death in the mid 2000s, until being bought by the present owner in 2011/12. The vendor has had the engine rebuilt to Sprint specification (1558cc block).

A new clutch was fitted, and the front suspension rebuilt with new bushes and adjustable shocks and springs, also front brake calipers and stainless steel pistons fitted. The carburettors have been reconditioned and all electrics have been tested and re-taped. This lovely little Elan also benefits from a new stainless steel exhaust. Presented in two-tone white over red with black interior, this is a lovely example of an iconic sporty and popular British sports car.

1978 Maserati Merak SS Coupé - Coachwork by Ital Design One of 300 Right Hand Drive examples Registration Number: ETA 659T

Chassis Number: AM122A503

Estimate: £35,000- £40,000

Maserati followed-up its first mid-engined supercar - the Bora - with the similar Merak. Launched in 1972, the latter was intended as competition for Ferrari’s top-selling Dino 246 and used a stretched, 3.0-litre, 190bhp version of the four-cam V6 that had debuted in the Citroën SM. The French firm owned Maserati at the time, so the Merak made use of the SM’s transmission, power-operated, alldisc braking and, more controversially, Citroën’s quirky instrumentation, though this applied to lefthand drive cars only, right-hand drive examples using the more conventional fascia of the Bora. The unitary construction chassis, all-independent suspension and impeccable handling remained basically as the V8-engined Bora’s, though the Merak offered the convenience of ‘+2’ seating in the rear and superior all-round vision thanks to its distinctive rear ‘flying buttresses’. Competition from Ferrari’s new Dino V8 prompted the introduction of a more powerful version - the Merak SS with 220bhp engine and revised interior - for 1975. Widely recognised as one of the finest, if not the finest, of contemporary V6s, the Merak SS engine proved smooth, powerful and capable of delivering its urge over a surprisingly wide range for such a high performance engine. Like any true thoroughbred, the Merak possessed handling commensurate with its breathtaking acceleration and 150mph maximum speed. ‘Performance and handling are the raison d’être of a mid-engined sports car, and the Merak’s astounding cornering power is a match for its straight-line punch,’ observed Motor magazine. Changes made to the SS suspension greatly improved ride comfort over that of the original Merak, while alterations to the instrumentation, switch gear, and interior, and the phasing out of the Citroën brakes in favour of a more conventional system addressed some of the criticisms levelled at the earlier version. The most successful Maserati of its day, the Merak ceased production in 1983 after 1,832 had been built, 626 of them the SS version. One of only approximately 300 right-hand drive models produced, this example on offer today is finished in Giallo Fly Yellow with a wonderful grey interior. According to the history file this SS has had just 5 owners from new. ETA 659T was acquired by a Mr Price on the 21st October 1988, he kept the car until it was sold to a David Fordham in 1995. David owned the car until the car was purchased by the current vendor in 2008. The current vendor, a well-regarded Maserati Collector and Connoisseur spent over £14,000 with the world renowned Bill McGrath Ltd in 2011- bringing the car up to the condition and specification seen today. Complete with UK V5 registration, and a history file with various bills, MoTs and receipts dating back as far as 1978 this highly collectable SS specification Merak is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

1958 Jaguar XK150 3.4 S Roadster Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: T831740DN

Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000

The ultimate expression of Jaguar’s fabulous ‘XK’ series of sports cars arrived in 1957. The XK150 was a progressive development of the XK120 and XK140, retaining the same basic chassis, 3.4-liter engine and four-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors. It benefited from a new, wider body that provided increased interior space and improved visibility, courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen that replaced the XK140’s divided screen. Cleverly, the new body used many XK120/140 pressings, the increased width being achieved by means of a 4”-wide central fillet. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences, but the new model’s main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes. Fade following repeated stops from high speed had been noted on the earlier, drum-braked cars, but now the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed.

The XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drophead coupé forms; the open roadster version didn’t appear until the following year. At 190bhp, the engine’s maximum power output was identical to that of the XK140, so performance was little changed. ‘Special Equipment’ and ‘S’ versions came with 210 and 250bhp respectively, the latter delivering an astonishing 0-60mph time of 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 136mph. This was achieved by the introduction of the Weslake-developed ‘straight-port’ cylinder head, high-compression pistons, triple 2” SU carburetors and twin electric fuel pumps. The car regularly recorded in excess of 130mph in magazine road tests. ‘The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world’s fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable... we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money,’ declared The Autocar.

1994 Lamborghini Diablo Coupe Registration Number: Non-UK registered

Chassis Number: ZA9DE07ADMLA12255

Estimate: £95,000 - £110,000

After 17 years in production, the legendary Countach was replaced by the Diablo, which on its arrival was the fastest, most advanced and most expensive Lamborghini ever built. First exhibited publicly at Monaco in January 1990, the Diablo improved on its illustrious predecessor in every way, setting a new benchmark in supercar design. Nobody can have been surprised to learn that it had been styled by Marcello Gandini, the man responsible for the Lamborghini Miura and Countach, for the family resemblance was obvious. Beneath the skin there was a steel spaceframe chassis, developed from the Countach’s, but constructed of square-section rather than round tubing and incorporating ‘crumple zones’ at front and rear. The use of carbon-fibre composite panels, first seen in the Countach Evoluzione model, was extended in the Diablo, which also featured revised suspension capable of accommodating the envisaged future developments of four-wheel drive and active suspension. Stretched to 5.7 litres for the Diablo, Lamborghini’s 48-valve V12 engine gained fuel injection for the first time, producing its maximum of 492bhp at 7,000rpm. Of equal, if not greater significance, maximum torque went up to 428lb/ft, an improvement of 55% over the Countach. Catalytic converters were standard, enabling the reworked V12 to meet emissions requirements worldwide. With more power and a lower drag coefficient than the Countach, the Diablo easily eclipsed its forebear, exceeding 200mph (322km/h) on test. More importantly, its acceleration and top speed figures were marginally better than those of the Ferrari F40. The Diablo though, was not a limited edition model like the latter but a series production car with a luxuriously appointed interior reflecting its designers’ intention to produce a civilised Gran Turismo as suited to city streets and motorways as the racetrack. Four-wheel drive Diablo VT and Targa-style open roadster versions soon followed and then came the Diablo SE (Special Edition) only 150 examples of which were built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 30 years as a car manufacturer. The Diablo SE was presented to the public in September 1993 at the 3rd Lamborghini day, held at the Sant’Agata factory, where 140 Lamborghinis from around the world had been assembled. The SE was more competition orientated than the standard Diablo and could be ordered with the optional Jota upgrade kit for actual GT racing. More powerful (525bhp) and around 10% lighter than the stock version, the SE was also marginally quicker, boasting a top speed of 305mph (331km/h).


The redesigned interior’s dashboard came from the Diablo VT but the previously standard air conditioning and stereo system were dispensed with. Carbon-fibre racing seats and four-point harnesses were installed, while roll stiffness could be adjusted from within the cockpit. Traction control came as standard on the SE, but there was no longer any power assistance for the steering and the VT’s electronically adjustable suspension had gone, deemed unnecessary on this purer sports car. Externally, the SE was readily distinguishable by virtue of its new nose, redesigned in pursuit of greater downforce, and a wider rear wing with adjustable centre flap. Deliveries commenced in June 1994 and the last of the 150 cars was delivered in November 1995. Each carried a numbered plaque beneath the left-side window.

This Diablo was originally supplied to Europe in 1994. Finished in the stunning and unusual shade of Jet Black metallic with a black interior, and having covered just 52,000 km from new this is an exceptionally good example of a sought after classic Lamborghini that is increasing in value.

VAT is payable on the hammer price of this vehicle unless exported outside the EU.

1937 Delahaye 135 CS Le Mans Registration Number: Non EU Registered

Chassis Number: 46580

Estimate: £350,000 - £450,000

Delahaye 135 was an automobile manufactured by Delahaye. Designed by young engineer Jean François, it was produced from 1935 until 1954 in many different body styles. A sporting tourer, it was also popular for racing. Competition 135s set the all-time record at the Ulster Tourist Trophy and placed second and third in the Mille Miglia in 1936, and the 1938 24 Hours of Le Mans. The list of independent body suppliers offering to clothe the 135 chassis is the list of France’s top coachbuilders of the time, including Figoni & Falaschi, Letourneur et Marchand, Guilloré, Marcel Pourtout, Frères Dubois, J Saoutchik, Franay, Antem and Henri Chapron. The 135 was successful as a racing car during the late 1930s, winning the Monte Carlo rally 1937 and 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1938. The Le Mans victory, with Chaboud and Trémoulet at the wheel, was decisive, with two more Delahayes coming in second and fourth. A regular 135 came seventh at the 1935 Le Mans, and in 1937 135MS came in second and third. Appearing again in 1939, two 135MS made it to sixth and eighth place, and again after the war the now venerable 135MS finished in 5th, 9th, and 10th.

This fabulous 1937 Delahaye 135 CS Le Mans, was bought by a very well-known classic car collector in Argentina called Roberto “Gallego” Rodriguez in the late 1960’s. The car was located by Mr Rodriguez in a complete state in storage in some rural buildings in the Province of Santa Fe, Argentina, but having been in storage for many years required restoration. He then set about finding the finest craftsman in the country (and still recognized as being one of the best coach builders) Mr. Hugo Galicio, to reconstruct the whole bodywork in 1969. Mr. Galicio based the rebuilding of the bodywork from the original Delahaye factory plans (copies of those plans are available upon request). This astonishing car was owned by Rodriguez family unitl 2003 when the current owner bought from Mr Rodriguez’ wife. The car has remained in the same family’s private collection since 2003.

“One of the greatest names in the history of motor racing was to be seen on major race circuits after a period of 25 years, when a Maserati Bi Turbo competes in the 1988 British Touring Car championship”- Press information. Maserati. 1988 When Alejandro de Tomaso acquired Maserati in 1976, he had ambitious plans for the marque. His plan was to combine the prestige of the Maserati brand with a sports car that would be more affordable than the earlier high-priced models that had traditionally made up the Maserati range. In fact, Maserati ceased making supercars like the ones developed under Citroën ownership altogether, like the Bora and Khamsin. In 1988, with the coupés being restyled, the Biturbo name was dropped in favour of 222—meaning 2-door, 2-litre engine and 2nd generation. The car carried all the visual clues of Gandini’s first facelift, with a more rounded grille and bonnet, different wing mirrors and rear spoiler. The engine size of the 222 E export model grew from the Biturbo’s 2.5- to 2.8-litres. A mixed velour-leather interior was standard on the domestic models, while export markets got leather upholstery as standard.

Purchased new by trident Motorsport Ltd this Bi Turbo was used to Launch Maserati’s return to Motor Racing at the Maserati Showroom , Berkeley street, London on the 20th April 1988. Indeed, testament to the cars originality and provenance , even the press call, press information from Maserati and selection of press photos in Berkley square accompany the car within its history file. The original sales invoice within the car’s file confirms the car being sold from Maserati as a works car, along with the FIA papers with valid homologation from July 1987, and an RAC production car specification sheet.

1979 Bentley T2 Shooting Brake Registration Number: MDF 101V

Chassis Number: SBH37727

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000

Bentley Shooting Brakes were often created from saloons at the request of the owner after purchase, as they wanted something special and unique. Such vehicles were expensive to build owing to the Coachbuilder’s reputation, but offered in turn a rarity widely envied. The term ‘Shooting-brake’ originated as an early 19th century British term for a vehicle used to carry shooting parties with their equipment and game. The term ‘brake’ was initially a chassis used to break in horses; it was subsequently used to describe a motorized vehicle.

The term was later applied to custom-built wagons by high-end coachbuilders and later became synonymous with the station wagon or estate. In contemporary usage, the term ‘shooting-brake’ has broadened to include a range of vehicles from five-door station wagons, through to three-door models combining features of a wagon and a coupé. This particular Bentley T2 was manufactured on 1st August 1979 and converted by Panelcraft. Subsequently it was purchased in 1989 by Colonel Stuart Townsend, a soldier and Olympic athlete who was also the founder of Hillhouse School in Knightsbridge.

1969 Mercedes-Benz SSK Count Trossi “Evocation” Registration Number: Non EU registered

Chassis Number: RPA 054906

Estimate: £600,000 - £750,000

The original Mercedes-Benz Comte Trossi was built n the summer of 1930 at the Daimler-Benz factory at Stuttgart. The mechanical project director was Ferdinand Porsche and the chassis was created for a left-hand drive car. Both engine and chassis where shipped to Mercedes Benz dealership in Tokyo, where it stayed unsold for more than one year. Towards the end of 1931 the chassis and engine, still without a body, was sent back to Stuttgart and then on to a Mercedes - Benz dealership in Milan. This dealership was frequently visited by Count Carlo Felice Trossi who was a wealthy man and had a very strong passion for automobiles. At that time, Trossi was president of Scuderia Ferrari, that was racing Alfa Romeo and in charge of sport events held in Emilia Romagna area of Italy. Trossi also raced for Scuderia Ferrari and showed he had a talent as a professional race driver. He even finished in second place in the 1932 Mille Miglia with co-driver Antonio Brivio. In the Autumn of 1932 the chassis and engine was finally bought by Count Carlo Felice Trossi and he started to look for the precise coachbuilder for his new acquisition.

The design of the Trossi was influenced by the form of two fighter airplanes (Curtiss P- 6E and Boeing P-26) and he decided to include their styling in the body of his car. Still today the identity of the panel beater is unknown. They suspect that a major Italian designer were responsible for this design or maybe only Zagato could have designed something of that nature. Another thought was that Trossi, who loved English designs, would have given the project to a coachbuilder by the name of Willie White or maybe Park Ward, who had already built vehicles of this nature. Many different names were brandished around but the mystery was unveiled in 1984 when Richard Polledo, director of Automobile Club Argentino and at one time owner of the vehicle, said the mysterious coachbuilder was Jacques Saoutchik, of Ukranian origin but resident in Paris, France. He was a metal artist and besides having worked on the most prestigious marques of the era, he also created some bodies based on Mercedes chassis. After Count Carlo Felice Trossi’s death in 1949 the car was sold several times until it finally arrived in 1988 to the world famous fashion icon and classic car collector; Mr. Ralph Lauren. Today the owner of the only original car that ever existed is Ralph Lauren who in 1992 decided to have a complete restoration that would return the SSK to its old splendid condition. The car then went on to win the Best of Show in the Concours D’ Elegance in Pebble Beach in 1993 and the Concorso D’ Eleganza at Villa D’ Este in 2007.

This Mercedes Benz SSK Comte Trossi (Recreation) its a unique masterpiece built to the original specifications by OH Classic Cars. OH Classic Cars is an exclusive “recreation” car company which specializes only in unique classic car models of customized construction. It’s master craftsman and coachbuilder is an Uruguayan based in Argentina. OH Classic Cars partners come from a long history in the classic car world over many decades. On one side and since the early 1960’s, one of the partners has been actively involved in the general restoration, craftsmanship, coachbuilding and mechanics of hundreds of classic cars of the most diverse brands. On the other side and since the mid 1980’s the other partners have been involved in the participation and organization of countless classic car rallys and exhibitions throughout the world. The story behind this car started more than 40 years ago in 1969. At that time, the craftsman of OH Classic Cars started this as a solo project as an exotic “Recreation”. He started building the chassis and detailing the whole coachwork, brake system and many other parts, but sadly he didn’t have the time or enough money to continue the construction process. Therefore the project was stopped and abandoned for a long time. It was not until 2012 with OH Classic Cars partnership in full, the Mercedes Benz SSK Comte Trossi Recreation rekindled the build process.

This exquisite masterpiece of the Mercedes- Benz SSK Comte Trossi, has many components of the period and/or MB’s: the rest were manufactured by OH Classic Cars according to original specifications. Some technical features included are listed below: 1953 MB 300 engine, 2 Solex carburetors, original Bosch dynamo, external MB water pump, MB box. Steering box manufactured in brass with worm gears of three entries (idem original) Stainless steel-coated exhaust pipe Cast-iron front axle with rim brakes Bodywork completely made in handcrafted sheet metal according to scale Rays wheels with Rudge centre (number 18) Windshield frame in chrome-plated solid brass Cast-iron rear differential with rim brakes Rear light in stainless steel Dashboard with the horology as from the original (amps, gas pressure, gas level, oil pressure, oil temperature, speedometer and a “Junghans” clock 8 tage). Bosch Ignition and light keys 380 mm cast-iron coated bells and Perrot brakes Marshall Trilux headlights


This fabulous car in black with black interior and after many years of development and investment is a fine recreation of the original and a wonderful tribute – with craftsmanship which must be admired. Absolutely fabulous!

1926 Rolls-Royce 20HP Open Tourer by Thrupp & Maberly Registration Number: ZV311

Chassis Number: GZK81

Estimate: ÂŁ60,000 - ÂŁ70,000

The Rolls-Royce Twenty, introduced in 1922, was a major move for the Company, since it represented the first new model since the great Silver Ghost went into production in 1907. Still with the same world-beating standard of engineering quality as the Ghost, the model was smaller and more manoeuvrable, and designed to appeal to owner-drivers as well as the chauffeur. Performance was magnificently flexible and the whole drivetrain extraordinarily silent and the steering offered jewel-like precision, incidentally bringing a whole new range of customers to Rolls-Royce as the car appealed mightily to lady drivers of the era. Rolls-Royce had built a very strong relationship with the coachbuilders Thrupp & Maberly, and one of the most handsome and also most popular coachwork designs on the Twenty was the classic tourer of which we are proud to offer an uncommonly delightful example today. The car was despatched on the 2nd June 1926 to Thrupp & Maberly with the coachwork undertaken in July 1926.

Originally ordered by Rootes Limited of 141 New Bond Street, W1 and delivered into its first owner, Mrs S HardmanHoyle of Haslemere. According to correspondence from the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club Mrs Hardman-Hoyle was an interesting figure in public social work and the car was used extensively for her activities in this field. GZK81 was purchased by the current vendors from Coys in 1994 and has been cherished ever since and used on rallies including the Gordon Bennett Rally in Ireland earlier this summer.

1984 Lamborghini Countach 5000 S 1 owner from new Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: ZA9C00500ELA12675

Estimate: £280,000 - £340,000



Few would deny that Lamborghini’s Countach is the quintessential supercar. It was built by a talented and passionate team of designers and engineers with the purpose of being the most extrovert and outrageous car available for the street. As a replacement for the fabulous Miura this was a tall order, but there can be no doubt that they succeeded, and even today, though there are more modern cars and faster cars (a tiny number), it is the Countach which will draw people’s attention like no other car. The stunning styling was by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini and when the first prototype was revealed as project 112, one of the factory workers exclaimed “Countach”, a local Piemontese expletive, roughly translated as “Wow!” The name stuck. Incorporating race car technology, it was an automotive tour de force. With its back-to-front longitudinally mounted V12 engine and gearbox, independent double wishbone suspension all round and rigid space frame, it was easily the fastest production car around, reaching a claimed 190mph. Like its predecessor, the car quickly found favour with enthusiastic drivers and wealthy playboys alike. One of Lamborghini’s most loyal customers was Formula One race team owner Walter Wolf, who owned several examples, one of which was modified for him by the factory to be quicker still.

Suspension revisions allowed the fitting of much wider wheels mounted with Pirelli’s brand new P7 tyre, designed especially for this car. Flared wheel arches sprouted from the flanks to cover these enormous new wheels, the likes of which had never before been seen on the road, and at the front an air dam was fitted, while a huge delta wing sprouted from the rear bootlid. With engine modifications, Wolf reckoned his car was fast enough to be competitive at Le Mans. Lessons learned from Wolf’s car were put into practice with the introduction of the S variant, essentially a cosmetic replica. This is the second Countach built out of the 5000 S series, and has had only one registered owner since it left the factory at Santa Agatha in February 1984, headed to Germany. It was taken off the road in 1990 and carefully stored in a dehumidified garage ever since, but nevertheless run on borrowed dealers’ plates, as well as repaired and serviced as it should. Today its mileage is in the region of 51,800 kilometres, including just 1,500 kilometres since 1990.


The car is finished in white, with white leather interior, white wheels and rear spoiler. Apart from regular services, the following work has been done to the car, while in storage: the engine was taken out and rebuilt, the head gaskets were replaced and a new clutch was fitted. Immediately prior to its consignment with Coys, the owner had the whole car mechanically revised, to ensure that it runs as well as it looks. An itemised list of this work, including new tyres, battery, new master cylinders &c., is in the car’s file. Described as a great beauty, and ready to be used and enjoyed right now, this is an incredible opportunity to buy a single owner 5000 S – arguably the best model to own out all Lamborghini Countachs. A superb supercar indeed, and totally accident free.

1962 Porsche 356B T6 Cabriolet. Coachwork by Reutter One of only 600 T6 Cabriolets Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 156055

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000



While the 911, in its various forms, is certainly Porsche’s longest-running model, the 356, which put the marque on the map, must certainly be the most iconic. Between 1948 and 1965, more than 76,000 were built, as coupes, speedsters and cabriolets. While the basic architecture and shape of the 356 changed very little over its lifetime, there were in effect, several generations of cars. The first, characterized by split (or bent) windshields, were built through 1954. From 1955 to 1959, a revised model designated 356A was built, with curved windshield and modified suspension. It was succeeded during 1959 by the 356B, with a new nose contour that raised the headlights upwards. Although Porsche sourced bodies from a number of suppliers, by far the most however, came from Reutter. Karosseriefabrik Reutter & Co. of Stuttgart had a long association with Porsche. Founded as a coachbuilding firm in 1906, Reutter pioneered lightweight construction, using Weymann fabric patents and early use of aluminium. Reutter furnished prototypes to Ferdinand Porsche in 1932, during the early days of the Volkswagen project, then bodied Mercedes and BMW cars during the 1930s.

The association with Porsche was rekindled in 1950, when the nascent Porsche company returned from Austria to Stuttgart. Porsche’s old facilities were occupied by the US Army, so Reutter leased some plants to Porsche for car production and started producing bodies for a number of 356 models. These included coupes, cabriolets and speedsters. While Karmann also built coupes in the 1960s, most of the open cars were by Reutter. This symbiotic relationship made Reutter a de facto in-house coachbuilder, much more closely allied with Porsche than Karmann or Drauz, or other outside firms. One of only 600 T6 cabriolets built in 1961 for the ‘62 model year. The last owner is a well-known Porsche 356 enthusiast with a large collection, including many 4-cam models, and a museum of rare automobilia which donated the Les Leston steering wheel as a finishing touch for this car. There is a substantial dossier which documents in detail, the work carried out on the car with a sizable amount of invoices together with copy photographs of the restoration. Works included paintwork, all new trim and hood, detail work on the underside to name a few.

The result is a striking car, finished in Signal red with black leather trim and matching square-weave carpet it benefits from the desirable options of chrome wheels, chrome ‘Leitz’ luggage rack and period ‘Highway Hi-Fi’ radio. The car has a current MoT and is UK registered. It also comes complete with toolkit and jack plus the aforementioned file of paperwork and invoices. Starting easily and settling to that familiar air-cooled idle, ample low-rev torque the car performs well, feeling far more modern in their capability than is suggested by the 1960s origin of the car. In fine fettle, such as this example, it is clear why the 356 is the genesis of the rear-engine Porsche experience.

SLC611 was delivered to its first owner, Mr A.J. Hubbard on Valentine’s day in 1956 by Brooklands of Bond St. Ltd. This lovely example of an original Mk 1 DB2/4 has been in the long term ownership of a prominent member of the Aston Martin Owner’s Club and more recently a well known collector. This car was featured in “The Encyclopedia of Classic Cars “ by Martin Buckley, as a result SLC 611 is a well known example of the Feltham Aston marque. In recent years, the car has been the subject of major restoration with the 3 litre VBJ6 engine being subject to a detailed rebuild by respected classic car engine specialist T&L Engineering; since when SLC 611 has covered less than 500 miles. A ported Alperform head with fast road cam profiles, is fitted for improved cooling and the use of unleaded fuel which certainly adds to the exhilaration of driving this very capable Aston.

As part of the restoration the body was stripped to bare metal and expertly prepared without the use of any filler and repainted in Aston Silver birch, the interior retrimmed in a contrasting blue hide and much of the brightwork rechromed to produce a finish at least the equal to when it left the factory. Supplied with the car is a file of invoices, the original buff and continuation green logbooks, the factory build and guarantee record and an original leather bound Owner’s handbook accompany the car. This Aston really is a superbly presented DB2/4, a canny investment ready to grace any collection or to reliably serve as a head turning grand tourer for continental adventures.

1982 Ferrari 512 BBi- Coachwork by Scaglietti Design by Pininfarina Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: ZFFJA09B000042841

Estimate: £210,000 - £250,000



Ferrari’s newest Berlinetta Boxer model was introduced at the 1981 Frankfurt Salon, and although it appeared to be very similar to the outgoing model from a distance, its biggest change was found under the rear clamshell and in the new model’s nomenclature. The 512 BBi replaced the 512 BB’s four Weber carburettors with a Bosh K-Jetronic fuel-injection system, hence the “i” in 512 BBi. This upgrade proved the 512 BBi to be much more user-friendly, making the car not only easier to start but also easier to maintain. For many clients, the addition of the fuel injection was a welcome change, and the 512 BBi is often considered to be the most liveable of Ferrari’s Berlinetta Boxer models. The 512 BBi also received a handful of cosmetic updates, including fitting exposed driving lights in the nose, shortening the aluminium egg-crate grille, and fitting rectangular parking lights in a new shroud for the exhaust at the rear. Just 1,007 examples were built from 1981 to 1984, before production transitioned to the Testarossa.

This car was purchased from a collector in Switzerland in 2009 when it was imported to Italy, where the owner embarked on a restoration that was completed in 2014. Both the mechanics and the body were restored. It has also been re sprayed to its original factory colour of Nero Black 1240, which can only be described as stunning! The interior was restored with the leather Connolly Autolux 8500 Black, The red carpet are still original and presents themselves very well indeed. This wonderful 512 BBi is also equipped with the original radio and equalizer Pioneer branded Ferrari. Mechanically, the car was restored; the engine and the suspension were overhauled by a Ferrari specialist. The injection system was overhauled at this time. In 2015 the timing belts were renewed and a new set of Michelin TRX tyres were fitted.


This matching numbers 512 BBi is an increasingly collectible Ferrari model from the Enzo-era, offering style, limited production numbers, and the unmistakable wail of a Ferrari flat 12-cylinder engine. One of the few Enzo-era models that has yet to reach its zenith among the collecting community, this particular 512 BBi stands out as an exceptional example, and is poised for further collector recognition in the coming years. Interested parties should note that Ferrari Classiche Certification is in progress at the time of publishing.

1925 Bugatti T 30 Tourer Last owner since 1983 Registration Number: German Historic Registration

Chassis Number: 4409

Estimate: £300,000 - £350,000

Introduced in 1922, the Type 30 Bugatti has a special place in motoring history, for it was the first small straight-eight to go into production and the first to use Bugatti’s classic single-overheadcam engine, one of the most famous automobile power units of all time. Typical of the time, the Bugatti eight was a long-stroke design of 60x88mm bore/stroke for a capacity of 1,991cc. The three valves per cylinder were operated by single gear-driven overhead camshaft, while the crankshaft was carried in three roller bearings with plain big ends. Breathing via twin Solex carburettors, this jewel-like power unit produced approximately l00bhp at 4,500rpm. This engine was installed in what was essentially a Brescia type chassis, resulting in a car that was notably fast and powerful for its day, possessing many of the characteristics of the racing Bugattis. The eight-cylinder engine was very flexible and, once mastered, the Brescia-type gearbox a delight to use. Of some 600-or-so Type 30s produced, fewer than 50 are known to survive today, with original examples possessing known history especially desirable. Out of the 600-or-so T 30 Bugattis built at the Molsheim factory, only around 50 are thought to survive today. 4409 was delivered when new to Omnia in Munich and has spent all of its life in Germany, and has had few owners. Prior to WW2 it is thought that the car was owned by an automobile engineer near Dresden. Difficult though it might be to believ, this Bugatti has spent the remainder of its life in the Dresden area. By the end of the war, the Bugatti was owned by a local stone mason, whose daughter confirmed that her father


owned the car and sold it to a colleague, one Mr. Hansbernhard Häsler, in 1947. Already in 1949 the current owner, at that time a young car mechanic, working at the garage of Max & Helmut Päperer of Dresden Bühlau, looked after the car, repaired it with the meagre resources available in the German Democratic Republic (DDR) until 1952; however, by 1953 the car was laid up for the next 30 years. The present owner never forgot this beloved Bugatti which he had worked on during his youth, and in 1983 he succeeded in purchasing the car from Mr. Häsler, the contract for which may be found in the car’s file.

At that time, the aluminium body of 4409 was still in good condition. After German reunification, when the supply of mechanical parts significantly improved, the long term custodian of 4409 eventually finished the restoration job by the end of the last century. Today the Bugatti, which still bears its all original body, engine, gearbox (no. 654) and back axle (no. 397) is fully operational and comes with TĂœV to 2017 and German historic registration documents. 4409 is offered for sale for the first time in thirty-three years by the man who knows and worked on the car since 1949, a period of sixty-six years, having spent much of his life caring for this vehicle. This is a truly unmissable opportunity and Coys is particularly proud to have been chosen to handle the sale of this important Bugatti. Vive la marque!

Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale The 1964 Earls Court Motor Show car and “Motor” magazine Road Test Car - March ‘65 Registration Number: BYY 6B

Chassis Number: AR380732

Estimate: £85,000 - £100,000

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale (Tipo 750 SS/101.20, Italian for “Type 750 SS/101.20”) and Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale (Tipo 101.21), also known as Giulietta SS and Giulia SS were manufactured from 1959 to 1966. The first prototype of the Giulietta SS was presented in 1957 at the Turin Motor Show. After two more prototypes were presented in car shows, the official presentation of the production version for the press was on 24 June 1959 on the Monza race track. [1] The first 101 cars produced had “low nose” and 750 SS designation. While there were some all-aluminium cars produced, the majority of these cars had steel bodies with aluminium doors, engine bonnet and boot lid.

This example is one of the 25 right hand drive Giulia SS’s built to Ruddspeed specification – a performance package that made it a most particularly nimble car to drive. This car, BYY 6B, was the Earl’s Court Motor Show car and was also the ‘Motor’ magazine road test car in early 1965 – a copy of the road test is on file and according to the test figures the car achieved a best one way ¼ mile figure of 113.4mph with acceleration faster than a Porsche 356SC! It was also chosen to appear in a Classic & Sportscar feature in the August 2004 edition of the magazine, a copy of which is in the history file.

2008 Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Coupe Registration Number: LD08 UYC

Chassis Number: WDD1993761M001193

Estimate: £160,000 - £180,000



The famed Mercedes McLaren SLR boasts 617bhp, 5,439cc SOHC supercharged V-8 engine, five-speed AMG Speedshift R automatic transmission with three manual modes, four-wheel independent coil-spring suspension, and four-wheel Sensotronic hydraulic disc brakes. As two of the most successful teams in motorsport, people tend to take notice when Mercedes-Benz and McLaren work together. With each having an enviable racing record, few partnerships in the automotive world have been more fruitful. MercedesBenz had been supplying engines to McLaren in Formula One since the mid-1990s, and over the course of the following 15 years, McLaren F1 cars racked up numerous wins. Mercedes-Benz eventually acquired 40 percent of the McLaren Group, and at this time, the two companies produced their first road car together, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. When introduced in November 2003, the Ferrari Enzo was set to do battle with the Porsche Carrera GT, and accordingly, the car’s

performance and 206-mph top speed firmly put it into the upper echelon of supercars. Yet, there was much more to the story. Rather than creating an all-out, no-compromises supercar, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren decided to go a slightly different route. Instead of placing the engine in behind the cabin, the car had a front-mid-engine layout, with the engine sitting behind the front wheels and just ahead of the cabin. This not only helped to improve the SLR’s handling by giving it near-perfect weight distribution, but this also gave the car a rather spacious boot and cabin, which was not common in cars boasting such performance credentials. As it was supremely engineered and built to incredible standards at McLaren’s facilities in Woking, it boasted a very high level of fit and finish, the kind befitting of any Mercedes-Benz. To many, it was the perfect automobile for cruising across Europe at a very high speed.

114


In order to attain its top speed, the SLR McLaren was powered by a hand-built 5.4-litre V-8 fitted with a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger. As the car could produce 617bhp at 6,500rpm, it goes without saying that acceleration was phenomenal, with a dash from 0 to 60 mph taking just 3.8 seconds, leading to a quarter-mile of 11 seconds. This fantastic example was purchased in 2008 by its one and only registered keeper, who has covered a mere 16,000 miles from new. In the last 500 miles chassis 1193 enjoyed an extensive service with the Mercedes SLR Centre in Brooklands, Surrey, supported by a recent invoice at a cost of ÂŁ8600. Additionally the SLR will be supplied with a stamped service record, current UK MoT, original bill of sale, all books, manuals, and two sets of keys.

The Mercedes McLaren SLR is widely tipped by investors as a rock solid investment for the future. Finished in Crystal Laurite Silver with full Red Leather interior, and showing a mere 16,000 miles from new, this is an excellent example of a truly iconic supercar.

1932 Bentley 4-Litre Saloon with Coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly One of twelve in existence Registration Number: FG 7632

Chassis Number: VA 4085

Estimate: £150,000- £200,000



The Bentley 4-Litre was the old Cricklewood company’s swansong model before its absorption by Rolls-Royce. With the Depression biting, sales of the old 4½-Litre declining and its newest, 8-Litre model costing all of £1,850 in chassis-only form, Bentley Motors desperately needed a new smaller model to compete with Rolls-Royce’s successful 20/25hp. The result was the 4-Litre. At the Management Committee’s behest, and to W O’s disdain, the six-cylinder engine was designed by Ricardo, with overhead inlet/side exhaust valves and a claimed output of 120bhp at 4,000rpm. A double-drop chassis was adopted, closely based on that of the contemporary Bentley 8-Litre, and offered in two wheelbase lengths: 11’ 2” and 11’ 8”, both of which were shorter than the shortest of the two 8-Litre chassis available. Although ‘W O’ did not like the Ricardo design (considering it difficult to tune) the fundamental soundness of the inletover-exhaust arrangement would be demonstrated after the war, engines of this configuration powering Bentley and Rolls-Royce motor cars up to 1959. The 4-Litre has been much maligned and is little understood, as very few were built. Because it was considered by some to be too heavy for its power, yet had the best chassis, gearbox and rear axle of all the Bentleys, many were converted very early on into 6½- and 8-litre specials.

Not every one agreed. None other than Bentley boss Captain Woolf Barnato himself used an early 4-Litre as his personal transport, covering around 6,000 miles during 1931/32. Only 50 4-Litres were completed before the original Bentley company’s liquidation, of which only 12 are known to exist today, the ex-Barnato car, ‘GO 8477’, being one of them. Supplied new via Jack Barclay and Jack Olding, this charming Bentley 4-Litre was first owned by Major W C Gordon Black of Fife. ‘FG 7632’ was delivered to Major Gordon Black on 26th May 1932 and during his ownership covered approximately 30,000 miles, as verified by Bentley works records. The history file confirms during the 1950’s VA 4085 had five short-term owners, mostly in the West Midlands, and was eventually sold in 1962 to the previous owner, Mr Philip Pardy of Epsom, who ran it until 1969. During this period Mr Pardy, a well-known Bentley enthusiast, prepared and drove his 4-Litre single-handed from Land’s End to John O’Groats in under 24 hours! The detailed record of this epic journey in May 1964 was published in the BDC Review in April 1965.

By 1969 the Bentley was deemed to be in need of a restoration by Mr Pardy - however, the project effectively remained stalled for the next 30 years whist in his garage! The present owner purchased the car in 2000, on the clear understanding that this 4-Litre (unlike so many) would be restored to its original Cricklewood specification. Since 2001 the Bentley has been subject to a meticulous restoration taking over 12 years. This has included a major engine rebuild with new APR big-end pinch bolts, while the main bearings and big ends were recast utilising modern high-grade white metal. New rings were fitted to the original pistons and the cylinder block re-bored and sleeved. The rebuilt cylinder head was fitted with hardened inserts to accommodate modern fuels. A modified oil filtration supply was incorporated to suite modern oils. The engine is yet to be fully run in. The original 4-Litre radiator has been serviced and tested by a well-known Manchester specialist, and the radiator louvres operate automatically by means of Bentley’s patented thermostatic actuator. Ancillaries have been professionally restored including the AutoVac, ignition coils, dynamo, voltage regulator and water pump. All aluminium, the original Thrupp & Maberly coachbuilt body (number ‘5411’) was refurbished throughout, being bare-metal stripped, etch-primed and re-sprayed in black over the Bentley blue of the original 4-Litre radiator badge. The 20” wire wheels have been sprayed to match and all the original bearing grease caps and quick release nuts have been re-chromed. The original speedometer was professionally restored, re-calibrated and zeroed. The car has been rewired throughout and discreet amber flasher bulbs have been fitted at front and rear, as has a double stop light to the original ‘diver’s helmet’ rear lamps. A superb windscreen-mounted spotlight by Stephen Grebel has been fitted, and the Bosch headlights are double dipping with the correct lenses. Illuminated by the original recessed ground-glass lenses, the original black leather upholstered was re-Connollised and a new grey West of England roof lining professionally fitted, as was a customised set of new leather-bound matching Wilton woollen carpets. The two mahogany vanity units in the rear have been illuminated and refurbished and now boast matching crystal champagne flutes carrying the Bentley logo. A concealed tool rack in the boot lid has been equipped with period tools including a Vintage hand lamp and oilcan. Offered with current road fund licence and Swansea V5, and being one of only about a dozen 4-Litres still retaining their original chassis, body and engine, this would be an asset to any connoisseur of fine motor cars. Featured in Ray Roberts’ Bentley Specials and Special Bentleys Vol 2 (page 524) this superb example of the last of the Cricklewood-built models comes with a large history file containing bills; period photos; original factory blueprints; and copies of several articles written about it. It will not disappoint.

2001 BMW Z8- One of 80 UK delivered cars Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WBAEJ11040AF79219

Estimate: £100,000- £130,000

The BMW Z07 concept car, first shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1997, blossomed from a dream into a production reality. Production of the BMW Z8 was announced at the Detroit Motor Show in January 1999. Designed for connoisseurs, the BMW Z8 was both very exclusive and a technological “tour de force”. Its blend of aesthetic design and dynamic performance is born of BMW’s desire to show how the 1956 BMW 507 might have developed had it been an integral part of the BMW range in the intervening period.

The evocative and exotic style of the Z8 echoes the concept design very closely. The broad kidney grille and small xenon headlights faired in by glass covers flow into a long bonnet with muscular wheel arches and wide doors rounded off by a shapely yet purposeful tail with four large tailpipes. The Z8 even bears the typical 507 air scoops on its front wings whilst a luxurious leather interior is set off by a central instrument binnacle typical of that elegant era of convertible cars. Under the skin the Z8 is pure technology. The Z8 is built on an aluminium alloy spaceframe and carries an all-aluminium body. The power unit for the vehicle is no less than the five litre V8 engine from the M5. This incredible motor produces 400bhp and 500Nm of torque and driven through the rear wheels. The Z8’s performance more than matches its looks – 0-62mph in under five seconds, whilst 0-62 and back to zero again in less than eight seconds proves it stops as well as it goes. The BMW Z8 offer today is a 2001 UK supplied car, finished in the most wonderful Z8 colour combination of Titanium Silver metallic, over contrasting full black and red sports Nappa leather seats.

1928 Bentley 4 ½ Litre Supercharged (Blower) Registration Number: PN 1562

Chassis Number: TX3227

Estimate: Refer Department

Very few would dispute the claim of the Bentley to represent the true greatness of British sporting motoring in the vintage era, and though the title would be strongly contested by proponents of the Three litre, and some would argue for the merits of the six-cylinder models, the majority would surely pick the mighty 4½ Litre as the finest flowering of the Marque. The car was a natural step in the company’s evolution; though the Three Litre had been pretty successful in sales terms, it had been developed about as far as it could in performance terms by 1925 and was beginning to lose ground in competition to its competitors. The logical solution was the 4 ½ Litre; with a capacity fifty percent bigger, output was very considerably greater, and the powerplant was mounted in a massively strong chassis which was in fact very little heavier than its predecessor. In standard trim with a Vanden Plas touring body, it was capable of a thundering 92mph flat out, pretty near to the top of its class, and some of the specially-equipped short chassis cars with le Mans modifications and higher gearing could top the magic figure of 100mph.

W O Bentley had always been fully aware of the importance of racing success on sales figures, and the 4 1/2 litre showed its potential on its first outing at Le Mans in 1927. Frank Clements, one of the celebrated ‘Bentley boys’, the factory team drivers, proceeded to smash the lap records time and time again. Some 667 chassis were built before the demise of the firm in 1931, quick, strong and full of character, but undoubtedly a some of the most charismatic Bentleys of all were the ‘Blowers’ the fifty-five cars equipped with awe-inspiring superchargers designed by the very gifted Amherst Villiers. The Blower project owed much to the search for extra performance conducted by Sir Henry ‘Tim’ Birkin, one of the most prominent of the Bentley boys; to be accepted at Le Mans a total of fifty had to be produced for homologation purposes, a strain on the company’s overstretched finances, but the dramatic result was without doubt a significant element of the Bentley legend, a byword for sheer power of a distinctly ‘British’ kind. Long before Ian Fleming placed James Bond at the wheel of an Aston Martin, he had 007 thundering around in a supercharged 4 ½ litre.

1961 Maserati 3500 GT Coupé - Coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: 101.1232

Estimate: £175,000 - £200,000



In 1957 Maserati enjoyed its most successful season in motor racing when Fangio won the World F1 Championship in a lightweight 250F, and the mighty 450S sports-racer came within an ace of winning the World Sports Car Championship. Such success normally calls for celebration and the planning of the next move. But Maserati’s parent company had invested heavily in Argentina and the overthrow of President Juan Peron in 1955 had caused a severe cash-flow crisis. So at the end of its most glorious season in the sport Maserati had to withdraw to concentrate on becoming a profit centre in the Orsi group of companies. The writing had been on the wall for some time, and Maserati was prepared. As the racing side wound down so it set on the road to becoming, for the first time in its history, a significant maker of high quality sports cars. Over the next few years Maserati would challenge Ferrari as a maker of road cars. Perhaps the reason why Ferrari finally drew ahead was not mechanical competence but the close relationship with Pininfarina. There could hardly be any question about the mechanical competence since the Maserati 3500 GT was designed by Giulio Alfieri, who was the best all round designer of his day.

In creating a road car, Alfieri was able to draw on a 3,486cc dohc straight six, derived from the sports-racing 350S unit, and half-sister of the engine which had powered Fangio to the World Championship. The tubular chassis was recognisably the descendent of the classic Maserati A6/1500, but the live rear axle was suspended on semi-elliptics. Front disc brakes were optional in 1959 (ahead of Ferrari, naturally) and standard in 1960. Typical of Alfieri’s pioneering, Lucas fuel injection was fitted from 1961 and this gave a small power increase, when it worked. This car has triple Weber carburettors, which are completely reliable and produce a much nicer sound! Maserati’s chief engineer Giulio Alfieri developed the two 2+2 prototype 3500GT, revealed at the Salon International de l’Auto in Geneva in March 1957. Both had a 2,600 mm wheelbase and aluminium bodywork; one a Superleggera body by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, the other by Carrozzeria Allemano. Minor design changes were undertaken before production of the Touring-based body started in late 1957. Front disc brakes and limited slip differential became optional in 1959, standardized in 1960; rear discs became standard in 1962. Borrani knock-off wire wheels complemented the standard steel wheels, as well as wider 185×16” radial tyres. All cars had leather interior and Jaeger-LeCoultre instruments. Power windows were added as standard.


This Maserati 3500 GT was sold new by a Maserati dealer in Geneva on 12th January 1961 to a Mr. Jules Muggler, a Swiss executive living in Lausanne. In 1961 the price of the 3500 was 41,500 Swiss francs, the same price of a Mercedes 300 SL Roadster! In the February of 1964 Mr. Muggler sold the car, to the next owner, who decided to paint it in his favourite shade of blue. Thereafter, the Maserati remained safely in storage for more than 30 years, changing hands in 2002, and then again in 2012. The current vendor finally completed the restoration of this lovely GT car in early 2015, supported by invoices which are presented in the car’s file. This fantastic matching numbers 3500 GT is offered with its Belgian registration documents, also a large file of invoices for much work completed through the years. As such this well known car is possibly one of the most desirable examples on the market today. These Maseratis were the envy of many in the 1960’s, and remain so today. Not to be missed.

The Ex Paddy Hopkirk and Timo Makinen, Ex BMC Works 1966 Mini Cooper S 1966 Alpine, RAC Rally, 1967 Swedish Rally, 1968 Circuit of Ireland and Scottish Rally Registration Number: N/A

Chassis Number: 850926

Estimate: Refer Department

Launched in March 1963, the 1,071cc Mini Cooper S was the ultimate Mini, at its heart a much higher specification engine than the plain Cooper’s unit, and slightly larger but much more efficient front disc brakes. The increased potential of the S was quickly demonstrated by Rauno Aaltonen’s outright win on the 1963 Alpine Rally, followed by Paddy Hopkirk’s 1st place overall on the Monte Carlo, 3rd on the Tour de France and 4th on the RAC. Manufactured in 1966, 850926 has the distinction of being a Works Mini Cooper S and campaigned from 1966 through to 1968 in some of the greatest rallies piloted by two of the greatest names in Rallying history. In 1966, 850926 first Works outing was at the 27th Alpine Rally in early September with Timo Makinen at the wheel and Paul Easter carrying out co-driver duties but due to head gasket issues it was forced into an early retirement. Rally legend Paddy Hopkirk took the wheel for the RAC rally on the 19th November 1966. No fewer than seven works Mini’s lined up for the start and was the biggest entry for the Abingdon team. Hopkirk was unlucky – he was the leading British driver until he overshot a junction on a stage, reversed back and the transmission broke ending his rally.

The following year Timo Makinen piloted the car at the Swedish rally but was forced to drop out on only the second special stage with brake trouble. In 1968 Hopkirk was again behind the wheel for the Circuit of Ireland, Hopkirk set very quick times from the start but was suffering with overheating problems, although not serious he was to retire with a broken differential on the Lough Eske stage. Later in the year, the car was fitted with an auxiliary radiator to help with the overheating and with Lars Ytterbring who put in a fine performance on the Scottish rally by finishing runner up to Roger Clarks Escort. This was the last time the car was used in anger but was subsequently put to good use as a publicity car with Paddy Hopkirk promoting the use of seatbelt safety with the then Minister of Transport Barbara Castle. After the cars time in the limelight it was sold to Mr R Lawrence in late1968 followed by the ownership of Mr Simon and subsequently in 1978 it was exported to Switzerland into the ownership of Mr Fisher before passing into the current owner’s hands that has had the privilege of owning the car for more than 30 years. During this time the car featured in the August 1984 German magazine ADAC Motorwelt with German rally legend Walter Rohrl driving the Cooper S and comparing it to an Alpine A110 and an Audi Quattro. A copy of Mini by Rob Golding is supplied with the car and features 850926on page 102 which is signed by Rohrl after the magazine photo shoot. 850926 was invited to the 1984 Mini Cooper Club of Great Britain International Cooper day with 850926 getting a particular mention in the August edition of Classic and Sportscar as it came all the way from Switzerland.

Lars Ytterbring and Lars Persson on their way to 2nd place overall Scottish Rally, 1968



The car has been in storage for the last few years but retains much of its patina. The interior boasts bucket seats with race harnesses and a hap-hazard array of rocker switches marked with Dymo tape on a patinated mat black dash to reduce dazzle. In front of the co-driver a Halda Speedpilot sits alongside fuse boxes and brackets for stop watches. The original carpet on the drivers wheel arch, covers internally routed rear brake pipes in order to protect them from stone damage; a five point roll cage with central rear bar protects the occupants. The rear C-posts feature old rivets that secured a wire loop to retain a loose fuel cap. The bonnet and boot both have leather retaining straps while the front off side wing features an electrical plug and brackets within the grill for mounting extra driving lights.

The ADAC Motorwelt magazine article featuring Walter Rohrl and JMO 969D August, 1984

It’s last UK tax disc before heading to continental Europe is still displayed on the windscreen and is dated March 1977 with the registration number 850926 written by hand and stamped at the Torbay licensing office which ties in with the Torbay Motor Club window sticker. The car is on the button and drives well. 850926 is supplied with a copy of the ADAC Motorwelt magazine, various publications that feature the car, including the aforementioned Mini by Rob Golding, The BMC/BL Competitions Department by Bill Price and The Works Minis by Peter Browning as well as original Service Parts List file and many photographs of the car. Due to the car retiring from many of the rallies on minor mechanical issues it competed in, it has resulted in a car of matchless quality, patina and provenance and perhaps unique in this respect. It is truly a fantastic example of the most famous rally car of all time with BMC Works provenance that campaigned in some of the era’s greatest rallies. 850926 is a time warp car and is eligible for a plethora of historic race and rally events across the globe. Please note the registration number JMO 969D is not currently assigned to 850926 and will need to be re-applied to the DVLA.

1962 Jaguar E-Type Series I 3.8 Litre Roadster Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 850608

Estimate: ÂŁ75,000 - ÂŁ90,000



On its 1961 Geneva Show debut the E-Type caused a sensation, with all the promise of its looks confirmed by independent road test results that not only recorded a 150mph top speed, but also 0-60mph and 0-l00mph in 6.9 and 16.2 seconds respectively; fast indeed, and the match of any exotic thoroughbred then available, combined with superb roadholding and remarkable docility. One of the greatest post-war sports cars, Jaguar’s E-Type made immediate headlines on its launch in March 1961. Here was a sleek and beautiful 150mph car with a competition pedigree that could be bought for just over £2,000 almost half the cost of an Aston Martin or Ferrari. A direct descendant of the XK120 and competition C and D-Type models that so dominated fifties sports car racing, the E-Type shared its 265bhp 3.8 litre twin-cam straight-six engine with the XK150 ‘S’, mated to a Moss four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. Beneath the William Lyons/Malcolm Sayer-styled body, available in either closed or roadster form, the steel monocoque chassis sported all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, mounted inboard at the back.

Manufactured on the 20th September 1962 and despatched on the 11th October, this original right hand drive, matching numbers example was unusually sold through Claparede in Geneva, Switzerland. The car has resided in Switzerland until several months ago; for many years it has been part of a prominent Swiss collection and used regularly on many events whilst in his ownership and only earlier this year the car has returned to the UK and is now UK registered. Supplied with the car are substantial bills from Swiss specialists totalling over £10,000 in March 2012 and a further £2,300 in May 2013 with the car described as being in excellent mechanical order and has recently just been MoT’d.


Resplendent in its original colour combination of Old English White with a contrasting biscuit interior and black hood and hood bag, this fine example has a 5 speed Getrag gearbox enabling high speed cruising; an extremely desirable option for long distance touring. Supplied with a UK V5 document, Heritage Trust Certificate, current MoT certificate and aforementioned bills, this is one of the most revered and recognisable classics of all. This wonderful E-Type offers an almost unparalleled opportunity to enjoy one of the most famous classic sport scars of all time.

Estimate: £180,000 - £220,000

As with all Ferrari special series, the 458 Speciale boasts an array of advanced technical solutions that make it a completely unique model designed for owners looking for an even more focused sports car offering extreme driving emotions. The innovations span the entire car and include both Ferrari patents and world firsts, particularly with regard to the engine, active aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics. In fact, they set the 458 Speciale apart from the 458 Italia from which it is derived, to an extent unprecedented in the previous Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia special series. The aerodynamic efficiency (an E index of 1.5), a more powerful aspirated V8 engine (605bhp) and the highest power density (135 bhp/l) in the history of Ferrari road cars, an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio (2.13bhp/kg), electronic control of the slip angle (SSC): these are some – but not all – of the characteristics that make this car truly ‘Speciale’ and that are destined to become standard for the Ferraris of the future. The aptness of the car’s name is easily discernible in its performance figures: accelerating of 0-100km/h in 3s (and 0-200km/h in 9.1s) and a best lap time round Fiorano of 1m 23.5s.

1986 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza Brianza “Evocation” Registration Number: Non EU registered

Chassis Number:RPA 132911

Estimate: £300,000 - £450,000

In 1924, Vittorio Jano created his first straight-eight-cylinder engine for Alfa Romeo, the 1987 cc P2, with common crankcase and four plated-steel two-cylinder blocks, which won the first World Championship ever in 1925. Although it was a straight-8, the 8C designation was not used. As far as production cars are concerned, the 8C engine powered two models, the 8C 2300 (1931–1935) and the even more rare and expensive 8C 2900 (1936–1941), bore increased to 68 mm and stroke to 100 mm . The first model was the 1931 ‘8C 2300’, a reference to the car’s 2.3 L (2336 cc) engine, initially designed as a racing car, but actually produced in 188 units also for road use. While the racing version of the 8C 2300 Spider, driven by Tazio Nuvolari won the 1931 and 1932 Targa Florio race in Sicily, the 1931 Italian Grand Prix victory at Monza gave the “Monza” name to the twin seater GP car, a shortened version of the Spider. The Alfa Romeo factory often added the name of events won to the name of a car.

Initially, Alfa Romeo announced that the 8C was not to be sold to private owners, but by autumn 1931 Alfa sold it as a rolling chassis in Lungo (long) or Corto (short) form with prices starting at over £1000. The chassis were fitted with bodies from a selection of Italian coach-builders (Carrozzeria) such as Zagato, Carrozzeria Touring, Carrozzeria Castagna, Pininfarina and Brianza, even though Alfa Romeo did make bodies. Some chassis were clothed by coach-builders such as Graber, Worblaufen and Tuscher of Switzerland and Figoni of France. Alfa Romeo also had a practice of rebodying cars for clients, and some racing vehicles were sold rebodied as road vehicles. Some of the famous first owners include Baroness Maud Thyssen of the Thyssen family, the owner of the aircraft and now scooter company Piaggio Andrea Piaggio, Raymond Sommer, and Tazio Nuvolari.

VCC Dated 1901, London-to-Brighton Run eligible, 1901 Delin 4HP Voiturette Registration Number: 866 YUG

In October 1901 Joseph Delin sadly passed away and the company closed. The estate was sold to the chief engineer Eugène Matthieu, who for a few years would produce its Automoteurs Mathieu motorcycles and cars and in 1901 Belgian Kelecom-Antoine blocks were used. Car number 4, is one of only 3 survivors and is one of the two that were in the Sotheby’s sale of the significant AWF Smith collection based in Cross in Hand in East Sussex in 1968. The previous owner took part in the London to Brighton in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. It is believed the car also participated on the London to Brighton in the 1950s and 1970s. The engine is reported to be in excellent condition, having undergone a complete overhaul. It is rated at 6.5-8hp and fitted with a new automatic valve, balanced flywheel, new aluminium sump, and straightening shafts. All bearings have been replaced, all gear pinions were changed, also new wheel rims and spokes were fitted. It is fair to say that this veteran motorcar has been maintained regardless of cost. The owner has described the engine to be in excellent condition - documentation states the car achieves around 34mph. The body and chassis are said to be in excellent order, with the interior, transmission and paint stated as being in good condition. Finished in maroon with contrasting red pin-striping and boasting many nice touches such as carbide lights, unusually for such an early motor car the Delin features a practical windscreen to help keep the elements at bay. Supplied with a UK V5 document, this turn-key Brighton Run car is eligible for many other events, and we are sure will prove to be a highly collectible motor car.

1960 Lotus Elite Registration Number: 135 AYX

Chassis Number: 1412 Estimate: -£60,000 Estimate: £50,000 £



With the Lotus 14 of 1959 - better known as the Elite - Colin Chapman demonstrated that his skills as a racing car designer and constructor could just as easily be applied to production road cars. Just as innovative as Lotus’s outright competition cars, the Elite featured a fibreglass monocoque body tub, independent suspension all round (based on that of Lotus’ racing monopostos’) and four-wheel disc brakes, the rears mounted inboard. Its engine was the four-cylinder Coventry-Climax FWE, a single-overhead-cam unit, while the gearbox, an MGA unit fitted with an alloy casing and modified bellhousing, was sourced from BMC.

The classically-styled body - the work of stylists Peter Kirwan-Taylor, John Frayling, and aerodynamicist Frank Costin possessed an admirably low coefficient of drag, though it made few concessions for comfort or noise suppression. That is not likely to have bothered the Elite’s customers, for whom its 112mph top speed and superlative handling were of far greater importance than creature comforts. Indeed, so successful was the Elite on the racetrack that the car dominated its class well into the 1960s. Noteworthy achievements include five class victories at Le Mans and two wins in the prestigious ‘Index of Thermal Performance’.

This fantastic Elite is in superb condition throughout and has been part of a significant private collection since 2006.The car has been restored by Lotus specialists “ Forbes” in the 1990’s before being sold by respected Lotus expert, Paul Matty Sportscars, to a Scottish enthusiast in 1996. This gentleman retained the car for the next decade and clearly looked after it very carefully, whilst using it minimally. During his ownership, the drivetrain was rebuilt by Lotus guru D’Angelo Engineering of which the invoices for this work are documented in the car’s file.

This car is a true delight to drive with an unmatched litheness and balance and wonderful positive feel. Despite being essentially a racing car on the road, it is perfectly tractable and refined with perfect communication between car and driver. It remains in superb condition throughout appearing much as it did when new some 53 years ago. Rare to find such a spectacular car with such provenance and careful ownership, it is an opportunity not to be missed.

Styled in-house by William Towns, the aluminium-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 carburettors. This original right hand drive example is presented in excellent overall condition. It was owned by a Barrister in New Zealand, imported to the UK in December 2014. The body has most recently been the subject of a bare metal re-spray by marque specialists, the interior has also been re-trimmed and new carpets fitted by one of the UK’s finest award winning trimmers.

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Speedster - Right Hand Drive Registration Number: H859 DUF

Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ912K5151750

Estimate: £100,000 - £120,000



In 1989 Porsche reintroduced one of their most iconic body styles - the Speedster. This uncompromising variant hadn’t been offered since 1959, a time when 356s were rolling out of the factory and the 911 was still five years from inception. The first 911 Speedster was displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1987 but it would be 16 months before production actually began in January 1989. Regular 911 Cabriolet body shells were used for the mechanically standard Speedster, these being equipped with a cut-down, more steeply raked aluminium framed windscreen and special frameless one-piece side windows.

Both the standard narrow-body and wider Turbo shell were available in most markets although bizarrely only the latter could be specified in North America and Germany. Inside, the seat rails were dropped by 20mm, the seats themselves having been a combination of Sport backs with standard lower sections. The rear seats were disposed of and the vacant area carpeted like the Club Sport, an optional storage box (again like that of the CS) having been a sensible upgrade. A manual heater and wind-down windows were fitted as standard. 2065 Speedsters were built (all in 1989), 63 of which were imported to the UK in RHD specification, and 823 went to North America. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine UK RHD Speedster, supplied from new by well known Porsche dealer of the 1980s, Roger Clarke Cars of Leicester. The Speedster remained in the showroom on display until it was sold to its lucky first owner in February 1991. Since then this lovely 911 has been cared for by only 4 owners, supported by a very comprehensive maintenance record containing 14 stamps in the service booklet. The previous owner was clearly fond of his Speedster, having owned it for over 10 years.


The current vendor has just had the car serviced and prepared to a high standard by a UK-based Porsche specialist, which included detailing of the engine bay. The underside and wheel arches are said to be as clean as when the Porsche rolled off the production line in 1989. Pleasingly, pre-delivery wax still covers the rear of the car, including the suspension components and gearbox. Finished in Black with a matching black leather interior, H859 DUF will be supplied with a UK V5 and UK MoT certificate valid until 2012. This beautiful iteration if the iconic Porsche Speedster offers its lucky new owner a cast iron investment which also happens to be a fantastic and useable fast road car.

1992 Ferrari 348 TB Registration Number: Non-EU registered

Chassis Number: ZFFRA35JAP0093985

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000

Introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Ferrari 348 was a truly innovative design. Utilising a robot-welded sheetsteel monocoque that not only broke with Maranello tradition but also brought considerable gains in torsional rigidity and dimensional accuracy. The newcomer was powered by a longitudinally-mounted ‘quad-cam’ 32-valve 3405cc V8 allied to five-speed manual transmission. Developing some 300bhp and 238lbft of torque, the two-seater had need of its all-round independent suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes, self-locking ZF differential and rack-and-pinion steering.

A near performance match for its Testarossa ‘big brother’ (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and a 171mph top speed), the two also shared a number of styling cues. Though, the similarity was unsurprising given that both models were clothed by Pininfarina and featured side-mounted radiators. King of the junior supercars until the arrival of its 355 successor during 1994, the 348 could be had in coupe, targa and eventually spider guises (each variant enjoying leather upholstery, air-conditioning and an adjustable steering column as standard). Finished in Rosso Corsa red with Nero leather interior, this 348 is offered for sale having covered a genuine 48,000 miles from new. Unlike most 348 Ferraris, the interior is in superb condition and retains a factory fresh character. Both body, chassis and paint are, as you would hope in good order - the engine and manual transmission perform very well indeed.

The 348 has been largely ignored in the Ferrari market and offered here for sale is surely one of the best value Ferraris in the UK today. With values of its predecessor, the 328, edging close to ÂŁ100,000 and with its successor, the F355, selling above the ÂŁ70,000 bracket, this 348 offers ideal entry level Ferrari ownership. With such low build numbers the 348 is one to watch in the future. Interested parties should note that the car will be sold with its original set of alloy wheels not the wheels shown. VAT is payable on the hammer price of this vehicle unless exported outside the EU.

1935 Jaguar SS1 Sports Tourer Registration Number: 183 YUE

Chassis Number: 248806

Estimate: £75,000 - £90,000



With its shield-shaped radiator grille, fold-flat windscreen, voluptuous dual cowl scuttle, sloping tail, full flowing wings, cut-away doors, heavily louvered bonnet / chassis side rail covers and sleek blade bumpers, the SS1 Sports Tourer was arguably among the best-looking British cars of the 1930s. Thoroughly revised for the 1934 season, the open four-seater featured a cruciform-braced 9ft 11in wheelbase chassis complete with underslung rear axle, all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension. Powered by a choice of uprated 16hp or 20hp straight-six engines allied to improved four-speed manual transmission (with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears), the newcomer also sported a well-stocked dashboard, sunburst-pattern door cards and sculpted leather upholstery. Despite the range’s obvious charms, total S.S. 1 production for 1935 across the Tourer, Coupe and Saloon derivatives amounted to just 948 cars.

According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example - chassis 248806 - was manufactured on February 6th 1935 and was despatched the following month to Henlys Ltd. of London, the SS1 20hp was supplied new to W. P. Burston Esq. of Chippenham, Wiltshire. Having exported the Sports Tourer to Sweden, its third keeper got as far as refurbishing the chassis and replacement overhead valve SS Jaguar 2.5 Litre straight-six (thought to date from 1936) before a lack of suitable spares saw him `moth ball’ the car for some forty-five years. Sold into the current (fifth) ownership by his son, chassis 248806 was repatriated during early 2011. A retired engineer, the vendor was pleased to find that the previously restored chassis and engine were in good order (though he dismantled the latter as a precaution). Repaired with new panels as necessary, the bodywork was then stripped to bare metal and treated to a professional respray in Brooklands Green. The trimmer who recreated the Sports Tourer’s upholstery was able to refer to the vendor’s similar 1933 SS1, and did a great job. This lovely Tourer benefits from a new wiring loom, exhaust system, facet fuel pump and wire wheels. The open fourseater also received attention to its fuel tank, brightwork, steering, suspension, instruments and brakes. Offering many of the thrills of a SS100 but with the added bonus of two extra seats, this is a great family touring classic. The car also comes with an MoT which expires November 2016.

1965 Maserati Sebring Series 2 - One of Four RHD Examples Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: AM101/10/011

Estimate: ÂŁ140,000 - ÂŁ160,000



Introduced in 1962, the Sebring was one of the final manifestations of the landmark 3500GT, which had been the linchpin of Maserati’s programme to establish itself as a manufacturer of road cars. Despite numerous racetrack successes that included Juan Manuel Fangio’s fifth World Championship - at the wheel of a 250F - and runner-up spot in the World Sports Car Championship with the fabulous 450S - both in 1957, the marque’s most successful season - Maserati was by that time facing a bleak future. Its parent company’s financial difficulties forced a withdrawal from racing and Maserati’s survival strategy for the 1960s centred on switching production from competition to road models.

Introduced in 1962, the Sebring was one of the final manifestations of the landmark 3500GT, which had been the linchpin of Maserati’s programme to establish itself as a manufacturer of road cars. Despite numerous racetrack successes that included Juan Manuel Fangio’s fifth World Championship - at the wheel of a 250F - and runner-up spot in the World Sports Car Championship with the fabulous 450S - both in 1957, the marque’s most successful season - Maserati was by that time facing a bleak future. Its parent company’s financial difficulties forced a withdrawal from racing and Maserati’s survival strategy for the 1960s centred on switching production from competition to road models. Built on the short-wheelbase chassis of the spyder and likewise styled by Vignale, the Sebring 2+2 coupé arrived in 1962. By now a five-speed gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes and fuel injection were standard equipment, with automatic transmission, air conditioning and a limited-slip differential available as options. Introduced in 1965, the Sebring Series II came with a 3.7-litre, 245bhp engine while some cars left the factory with 4.0-litre units towards the end of production in 1966, by which time 591 Sebrings had been built, around 400 of which were in the first series. Chassis Number 11 dates from 1965, and is believed to be the first of only 4 Right Hand Drive Series 2 Sebrings manufactured, also, the only known example fitted from new with Borrani wire wheels.

174


This fabulously original example was purchased by dignitary Prince Zu Hohenlohe from who we understand was its first owner, whilst he was studying in London around 1980. He went on to own his beloved Sebring for the next 35 years, during which he returned to his native Germany. An unrestored example, in Prince Zu Hohelohe’s ownership it has been painted once, but otherwise remains startlingly original. The bodywork is said to be in excellent condition with no signs of rust, and shows good gaps to the opening panels. Showing just 72,000 miles from new, and finished in silver metallic with a contrasting black leather interior, this lovely GT shows a lovely patina which is unattainable in restored examples. Offered with a German title and current German TßV documents, this is a wonderful example of a rare and desirable GT car. A Maserati for the true connoisseur.

2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss Registration Number: Not Registered

Chassis Number: WDD1999761M900018 Estimate: Refer Department

Serving as the final showcase for the SLR line and was to be the last built under the partnership between Mercedes and McLaren, the Stirling Moss was limited to a production run of only 75 examples and continues the Mille Miglia–centric theme of the previous SLR 722 and Roadster 722 S special-edition SLRs. The SLR Stirling Moss began production in early 2009, with all 75 cars produced by December and only available only to SLR owners. Remaining totally true to the specifications of the 300 SLR, it is extremely sophisticated and yet at the same time decidedly spartan, doing without both a roof and side windows. There are just two wind deflectors a couple of centimetres in height to protect the driver and passenger from the airflow. Two air scoops integrated into the bodywork serve as roll-over bars. With this extreme concept the new SLR Stirling Moss is visually very different from all the other vehicles which belong to the elite sports car class. Powered by a 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine producing 641 hp with 0-to-62-mph sprints achieved in less than 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph. With a 200kg weight advantage over the previous SLR, performance can only be described as phenomenal. A five-speed automatic gearbox feeds power to the rear wheels, there’s no tricky clutch to contend with and being exposed to the elements only accentuates the feeling of speed.

The carbon fibre monocoque from the SLR has been developed to offer more rigidity with re designed sills and an extra rear cross member, making it one of the most structurally rigid open-top cars ever. However, the exterior is radically different from that of other SLRs and the two-seat cabin has been pared back to essential basics, all trimmed in a mix of carbon fibre and leather. Built on the 30th May 2009, this example boasts interesting history as it took part immediately after delivery from Stuttgart in the Mille Miglia. 1 of only 4 finished in white and 1 of only 2 boasting the carbon package and halogen lights and with recent maintenance by Daimler AG in April of this year, the car is as one would expect, in excellent condition in every respect.

1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Touring Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 01822

Estimate: £180,000 - £220,000

Alfa Romeo’s first all-new offering of the post-war period arrived in 1950. Designed by Dr Orazio Satta Puliga and intended for volume production, the 1900 was the first Alfa to employ unitary construction and - in keeping with the company’s sporting heritage - was powered by a twin-overhead-camshaft engine. It should have surprised nobody therefore, when the 1900’s potential was realised in the form of two high performance derivatives. Launched in 1951, the 1900C Sprint featured bodywork by Pininfarina (cabriolet) and Touring (coupé), both models utilising the 100bhp engine of the 1900TI sports saloon. The Touring-bodied Sprint Coupé attracted such public acclaim that it was subsequently adopted as the basis for all future ‘aerodynamic’ Alfa Romeo coupés.

The Sprint Coupé was designed to offer sporting performance together with ‘2+2’ accommodation - guaranteed to appeal to the sports car enthusiast with a family - while the heart-shaped vertical grille with matched horizontal side intakes, became an Alfa trademark on later models. In June 1954 the engine was enlarged to 1,975cc and the model re-designated as the ‘Super Sprint’. With 115bhp on tap and possessing an excellent power-to-weight ratio courtesy of the aluminium-alloy body, these cars could top 195km/h. They shone in competitions of all kinds.

This wonderful Alfa Romeo 1900 SS on sale today is a 2nd series and was bought new in 1954 from the Finanziaria Appia in Rome. The car remained in Italy until 1978 when it was shipped to the USA . It remained in there until 1999 when it come back into Europe and was registered in the UK. The car was subsequently sold in 2004 and in June 2015 the engine and the gearbox were checked by the specialist Perosino for €6,100. Presented in lovely condition this car would be Mille Miglia elegible and would be a great entry if accepted to this coveted event.

Chassis Number: 1E1909

Estimate: £75,000 - £95,000



On its 1961 Geneva Show debut the E-Type caused a sensation, with all the promise of its looks confirmed by independent road test results that not only recorded a 150mph top speed, but also 0-60mph and 0-l00mph in 6.9 and 16.2 seconds respectively; fast indeed, and the match of any exotic thoroughbred then available, combined with superb roadholding and remarkable docility.

One of the greatest post-war sports cars, Jaguar’s E-Type made immediate headlines on its launch in March 1961. Here was a sleek and beautiful 150mph car with a competition pedigree that could be bought for just over £2,000 almost half the cost of an Aston Martin or Ferrari. A direct descendant of the XK120 and competition C and D-Type models that so dominated fifties sports car racing, the E-Type shared its 265bhp 3.8 litre twin-cam straight-six engine with the XK150 ‘S’, mated to a Moss four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. Beneath the William Lyons/Malcolm Sayer-styled body, available in either closed or roadster form, the steel monocoque chassis sported all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, mounted inboard at the back.

A high speed jet boat created for and used in the pre-title sequence of the Pierce Brosnan spy movie The World Is Not Enough. This vessel was specially constructed for use in the highly praised opening scenes in which secret agent James Bond pursues the villains along the river Thames in an exciting chase. Fifteen versions of ‘Q’s high-tech boat were made, just four of which were fully functional, powered by 5.7L V8 engines, including this one; the others were designed for special effects sequences including underwater and barrel role shots. Only nine of these remain, mostly as part of touring exhibitions and museums.

1936 Bentley-Royce 8 Litre V12 Supercharged Special Registration Number: BXU 8

Chassis Number: B178DG

Estimate: ÂŁ130,000 - ÂŁ170,000



Built by Rob Burrell as the ultimate Bentley special with an 8 litre, V12 Rolls-Royce Phantom III supercharged engine at its heart. The chassis is from a 1936 Derby Bentley and with the engine hailing from 1936 making this car highly eligible for VSCC, BDC and many other historic events. It is possibly one of the most exciting historic hill climb and sprint cars available and it has successfully been campaigned with wins at Prescott, Shelsley Walsh, Brighton Speed trials and Santa Pod, with a notable win on the Isle of Man in 1998 where it won all four events. The car was prepared for Bonneville and a set of aerodynamic wings were made, however circumstances contrived to stop it heading out to the US. In recent years it has been prepared and raced by the present owner who has improved the aerodynamics and performance of the car and competed at Silverstone, Prescott and Bentley Drivers Club events. This stunning car gathers crowds wherever it appears and sounds superb as only an 8 litre supercharged V12 could! The V12 engine is a 24 plug, dry sump unit with modern additions being, a high power starter motor and electronic ignition.

The supercharger is a Roots type which is a triple lobe made for the famous 1949 Bristol Brabazon aircraft and is possibly the biggest eligible supercharger of this type available. The car boasts two 2 ½ inch SU’s which are very rare and made to specific order by SU. This is the last and most developed Bentley-Royce special built by Rob Burrell and this unique car can be seen on page 131 of the book ‘Bentley Specials’ by Ray Roberts in its early stages. Finished in the stunning RAF blue gray, this unique car is described as having the engine, body, chassis, transmission and paint to be in excellent condition and is supplied with a V5 document. A covetable historic road rally car and also a highly competitive race winning car with unbelievable power and fantastic supercar acceleration, as one can imagine it’s a great crowd pleaser at historic events and rivals the ‘Napier Bentley’ for shear excitement.

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Roadster Registration Number: EDW 200L

Chassis Number: 1S1836

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000



Whilst the concept of the Jaguar E Type was without doubt one of the finest pieces of automotive design ever to be put into general production, one of the problems with its continued development was the inevitable weight gain. Throughout the 1960s ever more stringent safety legislation emanated from the USA and, as this market was a major breadwinner for Jaguar, it was perhaps unavoidable that the purity of the original design would be compromised to compete within it. Emissions legislation had forced the adoption of twin Stromberg carburettors on trans-Atlantic bound cars resulting in a reduction in power to 177bhp instead of the quoted 265bhp for European examples breathing through triple Webers. However, the balance was to be redressed with the introduction of the Series 3 model powered by Jaguar’s new 5.3-litre, overhead camshaft V12 developing 272bhp. This resulted in a top speed again in excess of 140mph with 0-100mph taking just 16 seconds, the fastest ever acceleration figures for the model. Revisions to the running gear included anti-dive geometry on the front suspension and ventilated disc brakes. Power steering was standard and flared wheel arches were incorporated to allow fitment of wider rubber to maintain grip.

A deeper radiator aperture with chrome grille completed the restyle. With manual or automatic transmission options the Series 3 ensured the immortal E Type would survive into the new decade of the 1970s. Manufactured on the 28th March 1973 and sold on the 10th May 1973 to Mr K Hyde by Howell’s Garages in Newport, Wales as documented in the original Jaguar Passport/Service Book supplied with the car. This fine example is described by the vendor as being in excellent condition in every respect. The Azure blue paintwork described as excellent along with the biscuit interior; with the desirable manual gearbox and chrome wire wheels it’s stunning from every angle.

1994 Lancia Delta Intergrale Evo II Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid

Presented in June 1993, the second Evolution version of the Delta HF Integrale featured an updated version of the 2-litre 16-valve turbo engine which produced more power, as well as a threeway catalyst and Lambda probe. The 1993 Integrale received a cosmetic and functional facelift that included new 16” light alloy rims with ZR 16 tyres, also body coloured roof moulding to underline the connection between the roof and the solar control windows. The ourside was sharpened up with an aluminium fuel cap, airintake grilles on the front mudguards, and a red painted cylinder head. The standard Recaro seats were upholstered in Alacantara with diaganol stiching. This fantastic bright red example has been the subject of 2000 hour restoration, finished in the last 12 months. The work was completed by an Italian Fiat/Lancia specialist, and was both meticulous, and lengthy. The car enjoyed a full respray, also refurbishment of the interior to a high standard (a photo file is available to support the restoration work). With only 37,000 miles from new, the beige Alacantara interior is in exemplary condition, as is the rest of the car. The Lancia Delta was a true icon of its era, hugely succesful in rallying, and highly desirable as a road car. The car you see here must surely rank as one of the finest examples on the market today.

1938 Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet Worblaufen Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: 392179

Estimate: £65,000 - £80,000

One of the most gifted automobile engineers of all time, Vincenzo Lancia did not live long enough to see his final creation enter production, although the exacting parameters he set out would shape what many consider to be the true ancestor of the modern motor car. Launched in 1937, two months after his death, the Aprilia set new standards in production car design. Vicenzo Lancia had specified that this new small saloon should weigh less than 900 kilograms, be less than 4 metres in length, seat five adults in comfort, possess independent suspension, be capable of attaining 81 mph and consume fuel at a rate of 10 litres per 100 kilometres (28mpg).

Faced with these challenging demands, the design team had little option but to abandon conventional thinking. Presaging post-war developments, the Aprilia saloon broke away from the traditional ‘three-box’ layout and incorporated Vicenzo’s specified all-independent suspension and hydraulic braking, while the unitary construction bodyshell and overhead-camshaft narrow-angle V4 engine were advances Lancia devotees had enjoyed for many years. Rather than being merely a styling device, the Aprilia’s streamlined shape had been determined by wind tunnel experimentation, one of the very first instances of the science of aerodynamics being applied to a production car. ‘Mirror-image’ doors and pillar-less construction ensured for ease of passenger access; the Aprilia was unrivalled.

This Lancia Aprilia was built by the Swiss coachbuilder Worblaufen and is probably the only one known to have built by him. Worblaufen, F. Ramseier & Co. was one of the most important Swiss coachbuilders for passenger cars. The company produced many outstandingly elegant cabriolets and roadsters on Isotta-Fraschini, Mercedes Benz, Alfa Romeo and Bugatti chassis.

Lot 351

1986 Ferrari 328 GTS Registration Number: Non-EU registered

Chassis Number: ZFFXA7G0060157

Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000

Debuted at the 1985 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Ferrari 328 was the second model in Ferrari’s long and popular line of mid-engine V8 sports cars, continuing through the upcoming 488 GTB. The 328 was the replacement to the popular 308 and featured notable performance and design advancements over the outgoing model. The mid-mounted V8 engine was increased from 3.0 to 3.2 liters and the iconic Leonardo Fioravanti-designed body was updated for a smoother, more contemporary appearance with integrated bumpers and revised cooling ducts, resulting in a more cohesive and streamlined profile. Pininfarina built two variants of this mid-engine sportscar, the Gran Turismo Berlinetta Coupe and the Gran Turismo Spider, featuring a removable Targa top. While performance of the GTS was not the same as the GTB, it offered an exhilarating open-air driving experience, and afforded the driver and their fortunate passenger unbridled access to the unmistakable sound of the dry-sump Ferrari V8. In the short four year run of the 328, 6,068 examples were produced, a great success which, combined with the success and popularity of the 308, ensured the position of the mid-engine V8 in Ferrari’s permanent stable. In the summer of 1987, this particular 328 GTS left Ferrari’s Maranello factory finished in the timeless combination of Ferrari’s iconic Rosso Corsa paint over a fine Nero black Leather interior.

Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Coys accepts no liability for the accuracy of these particulars.


This Ferrari has led a cosseted existence, having covered fewer than 47,000 miles from new, and as such remains in very good condition. The vibrant Rosso Corsa paintwork shines vividly and accentuates Leonardo Fioravanti’s timeless design nicely. The original leather interior possesses a lovely patina appropriate for the age of the car.

The targa top accentuates the lithe and powerful Pininfarina design when installed, and provides a wonderful open top experience once removed. With low mileage and a timeless and stunning colour combination, this 328 GTS will afford the next owner great driving pleasure, thanks to its well cared for mechanical systems and the unmistakable bellow of a Ferrari V8.

VAT is payable on the hammer price of this vehicle unless exported outside the EU.

Lot 352

1958 Heinkel Trojan Registration Number: CBU 512B

Chassis Number: XAG12161

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000

The Heinkel Kabine was a microcar designed by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke and built by them from 1956 to 1958. Production was transferred under license to Dundalk Engineering Company in Ireland in 1958. Production restarted in 1960, again under license, under the Trojan 200 name by Trojan Cars Ltd. in the UK, and continued until 1966. The Kabine had a steel unit body. Access to the interior was by an opening front, but in order not to infringe Iso Rivolta’s patent used on the Isetta, the steering wheel did not move with the door.

However, it did feature a reverse gear, unlike some other bubble cars. The fabric sun roof served as an emergency escape hatch should the sole door in front become jammed in a collision. This superb example has just undergone a restoration to include a bare metal re spray, undersealed and a delightful re upholster in tartan. This lovely little car has had extensive powder coating applied, even to the bakelite steering wheel. A new clutch and new carpets have been fitted as well as a new sunroof.

This is an exceptional motor car in wonderful condition - one of the best examples we have seen and probably the best on the market today.
