(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in writing to the Seller decline to sell the Lot, and the Seller shall be liable to Coys as though the Seller had withdrawn the lot from sale without Coys consent.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.

Lot 101

1990 Alfa Romeo Spider Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: ZAR11500006007822

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000

A modern classic by Pininfarina, the simple-yet-elegant Spider bodywork premiered on the 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto would prove enduringly popular, lasting on into the 1990s. The Spider’s mechanicals were essentially those of the Giulia saloon, comprising independent front suspension, coil-suspended live rear axle and four-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes while the engine was the Sprint GTV’s 1.6-liter, double-overhead-camshaft four. The Duetto was produced for just two years before being superseded by the 1.8-liter ‘1750’ Spider Veloce, the latter lasting until the advent of the 132bhp 2000 model in 1970. Wind tunnel testing resulted in the 2000 and final 1750 models sporting a drag-reducing Kamm tail while other improvements included bigger brakes and a limited-slip differential. Outstanding speed, acceleration and handling were all characteristics of this class-leading model, which nevertheless possessed a quite remarkable docility, even at high speeds. This Spider, presented in red with a black interior has recently had a full and thorough service as well as a full re-trim in 2014, described as being in excellent condition throughout. These iconic cars made famous in the film The Graduate, are extremely popular and great fun to drive, with the typical Alfa Romeo road handling make it exciting on country roads.

Lot 102

1955 BMW Isetta 250cc Registration Number: Hungarian Registered

Chassis Number: 408585

Estimate: £18,000- £22,000

One of the more successful designs of the cabin scooter’s heyday was the BMW Isetta, manufactured under license from its Italian originator Iso. Although at first glance a three-wheeler, the German-built Isetta used a pair of closely spaced wheels at the rear and was powered by a single-cylinder four-stroke engine of 247cc, replacing the original’s noisy two-stroke motor. The coachwork of early examples featured a side-hinged single door at the front, roll-top sunroof and fixed side windows, while the steering wheel and dashboard were attached to the door to facilitate entry. The two-seater Isetta’s most popular accessory, understandably so given the limited interior space, was a small luggage rack mounted at the rear. Later (1957-onwards) models incorporated sliding side windows for better ventilation. These improved models displaced 297cc and the ‘big’ Isetta 300 was reckoned capable of 65mph. The Isetta on offer today has been recently restored to an exceptionally high standard with original parts. This charming little bubble car comes complete with a host of photos and receipts for over 9000 euros. Offered with Hungarian registration papers, this wonderful example needs to be seen to be appreciated.

Lot 103

1988 Daimler Double-Six V12 Saloon – 22,800 KM from new Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: SAJDDJLWGCR485857

Estimate: £14,000- £18,000

The name ‘Double-Six’ was chosen for the Daimler equivalent, evoking memories of a great car from the marque’s past. A longer-wheelbase alternative was introduced in August 1972, becoming the standard bodyshell when the family was up-graded to Series II specification the following year, while a restyled cabin, courtesy of Pininfarina, distinguished the Series III of 1979. Capable of wafting its occupants along at three-figure speeds in considerable luxury and almost complete silence, the Double-Six and its Jaguar equivalent remained in production until 1993, becoming the world’s most successful twelve cylinder saloons. This wonderful example has only covered a mere 22,800 km from new. Finished in British racing green it can only be described as excellent in every respect. Delivered new in left hand drive, it comes with all its hand books and service books as well as a detailed service history. Appearing as if it has just rolled off the production line this excellent Double six must be the best example we have seen.

Lot 104

1967 Fiat 500 F – One Owner from new Registration Number: Italian Registered

Chassis Number: 1432559

Estimate: £7,000 - £10,000

The basic 500’s austerity was not well received, however, prompting the introduction of a revised and better equipped version endowed with refinements such as hubcaps, winddown windows, upholstered rear seat and column-mounted switchgear stalks. This process of step-by-step improvement would continue throughout the 500’s life. Introduced in 1968 alongside the standard 500F, the deluxe 500L, while mechanically identical, came with exterior cosmetic enhancements and an improved interior featuring a new instrument panel, seats and floor covering.

The 500 F offered today comes in a Fiat Fiorentino Blue with an immaculate red over white interior. A one owner car- It has covered just 31,000 miles from new and is quite simply stunning.With a recent replacement sunroof and wheel bearings the car has never been restored and is perhaps the most original 500 Coys has seen. Ideal for all environments this nippy style icon is and always will be a strong head-turner.

Lot 105

1956 Land Rover Series 1 “88 inch” Registration Number: 464 XUV

Chassis Number: 11700609

Estimate: £10,000 - £15,000

The Land Rover Series I, II, and III (commonly referred to as series Land Rovers, to distinguish them from later models) are off-road vehicles produced by the British manufacturer Land Rover that were inspired by the US-built Willys Jeep. In 1992, Land Rover claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had built were still in use. Land Rover entered production in 1948 with what was later termed the Series I. This was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show. It was originally designed for farm and light industrial use, and had a steel box-section chassis, and an aluminium body. In mid-1956 the wheelbases were extended by 2 inches (51 mm) to 88 inches (2,200 mm) and 109 inches (2,800 mm), and the front chassis cross-member was moved an inch forward, to accommodate the new diesel engine, to be an option the following year. This change was made to all models with the exception of the 107 Station Wagon, which would never be fitted with a diesel engine, and would eventually be the last series I in production. These dimensions were to be used on all Land Rovers for the next 25 years. This fabulous example of this iconic British 4X4 was fully restored in 2013 to a high standard and comes with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate which was issued in 2009. Presented in the classic dark green with green interior, this example is still more than capable of attacking the off-road terrain they were originally built to cope with. The Series 1 is the model which is the most sought after and an example in this condition is extremely hard to come by. Not to be missed. 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.

Lot 106

1969 MGC Roadster – in current ownership since 1990 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: G-CN/1084-G

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000

When the “M.G. Division” of British Motor Holdings was tasked with creating a replacement for the long-lived Austin-Healey 3000, the corporate bosses latched onto Abingdon’s plan to build a six-cylinder MGB. Donald Healey himself squashed the idea of a Healey-badged M.G., but the idea saw light for model year 1968 when the new BMC “C-series” seven-main-bearing, twin SU-carburetted, 2,912cc straight-six engine was shoehorned into the B. This unit was physically taller and 340 pounds heavier than the MGB’s 98hp, 1.8-liter four, and fitting it required swapping the front suspension’s coil springs for torsion bars. In spite of its overly generous dimensions, the three-litre was an impressively smooth unit of 145hp at 5,250 rpm and 174-lbs.ft. of torque at 3,500 rpm, making it the most powerful M.G. sports car built until the RV8 of 1994. The body shell needed considerable revision from its predecessor around the engine bay and to the floor pan, but externally the only differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. It had different brakes from the MGB, 15 inch wheels, a lower geared rack and pinion and special torsion bar suspension with telescopic dampers. Like the MGB, it was available as a Coupé and Roadster. An overdrive gearbox or three-speed automatic gearbox were available as options. The car was capable of 120 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 10.0 seconds. This beautiful 3 owner example was despatched from the works to Knott Brothers in Bournemouth on the 9th April 1968, fitted with the options of wire wheels, overdrive, a heater and folding hood. The MGC enjoyed a highly detailed restoration during 1990 before being placed into the large collection of a private enthusiast. Having been dry-stored for a number of years, the MGC is ready for light recommissioning work before being enjoyed by its lucky next owner. MGCs are believed by many enthusiasts to be a nicer car to own and drive than the comparable Healey of the era. Finished in a delightful shade of Mineral Blue with a contrasting black leather interior, is begging to be enjoyed and driven with gusto. Offered with green logbook, older MoTs, and large amount of invoices for previously restoration work, this is a very sensibly priced example of a proper 60s sportscar.

Lot 107

1997 Bentley Continental T Registration Number: EU Taxes paid

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000

Bentley’s 1980s resurgence had hitherto relied exclusively on models whose basic architecture was shared with other Rolls-Royce products but on display at Geneva in ‘85 was ‘Project 90’, a mocked-up coupé intended to gauge public response to the idea of a high-performance car unique to Bentley. When the real thing the Bentley Continental R - was unveiled six years later, the waiting crowd burst into spontaneous applause. Styled with the assistance of consultants International Automotive Design, the Continental R benefited from computer-aided design and wind tunnel testing in the devising of its sleekly streamlined shape. The main focus of interest was the newcomer’s performance. Needless to say, this was outstanding, the combination of the Turbo R engine in the new wind-cheating shape cutting the 0-60mph time to 6.2 seconds and boosting top speed to in excess of 150mph. There was even more to come in the form of the Continental T. Introduced in June 1996, the latter was a short-wheelbase version of the Continental R, some 4” being taken out of the chassis aft of the doors. With 400bhp at its disposal and crouching aggressively on 18” wheels, the low-slung Continental T looked every inch the thoroughbred Bentley sports car, the cockpit with its engine-turned dashboard recalling the heroic exploits of W O’s 1920s racers. The engine start button was another neat ‘retro’ touch. The luxuriously appointed Continental T was certainly no slouch, racing to 60mph in a tyre-shredding 5.8 seconds on its way to a (governor limited) top speed of 156mph. Equally eye-watering was the price: £220,312 at time of launch. Displaying huge presence in black with a matching black interior, this 1997 model Continental T shows a mere 43,000 miles recorded from new, backed up by the relevant service records. Offered with all EU taxes cleared, this is a true continent-crushing GT car in the traditional sense, and we feel a very wise investment for the future.

Lot 108

1967 Porsche 912 SWB Coupe Registration Number: Italian Registered

Chassis Number: 461936

Estimate: £28,000 - £35,000

Put into production in July 1964, the 911 presaged the end of 356-production. It was July 1965 before the 911 made it to the US, and customers immediately noticed the differences from its predecessor. In addition to being more modern and more powerful, it was also more expensive: nearly $2,000 more than the comparable 356 model. In Europe, too, this was a problem. Thus, by April 1965 a “transitional model” entered production. Essentially a 911 with a 356-type flat four, the new car, designated “912,” was not only less expensive, selling at near356 prices, but enjoyed more even weight distribution and better economy. The combination of the four-cylinder engine and the slipperier 911 design was capable of achieving 30 mpg.

Delivered new to Italy on the 31st March 1967 this exceptional 912 comes to auction from a prominent Italian Porsche collector, most noted for his exceptional collection of early 356’s. Finished in Light Ivory Code: 6604 (Hell Elfenbein), both body and chassis are in very good original condition, as is the delightful interior. The chrome work on the car is very good order, including the opening front ¼ light windows. In 2012 at 40,000 km the car received a mechanical and electrical rebuild, at this time the gearbox was also fitted with a new synchromesh. Brakes, cylinder heads with new valves and new valve seats were fitted. The car has been registered at historic cars ( Asi ) and was awarded with “gold plate” for its excellent and original condition having covered just 53000 km by the time of the auction. Offered complete with Italian title papers, A.S.I historic certificate, A.S.I gold plate and an Italian MOT it also comes with a Porsche certificate of authenticity confirming both engine and gearbox are matching numbers.

Lot 109

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

Chassis Number: 4

Estimate: £58,000 - £70,000

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.

2002 Aston Martin Vanquish (LHD) Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: SCFAC23312B500268

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000

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 ‘Qbranch’ of course. This stunning 2002 model ‘Tour De France Blue’ Vanquish has covered just 21,100 miles from new, and has just been subject to a 111 point check before coming to sale. The car was well specified from new with a number of additional features fitted at the factory. The Tour De France Blue is a particularly attractive colour which is well suited to the car, and sets off the grey and tan interior especially well. Offered with full documented Aston Martin Service history, this Vanquish offers fantastic value for money in the current market, whilst being tipped as the next Aston Martin to take off in terms of value.

1934 MG PA- One Owner Since 1969 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: AWL 692

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000

This latest model is a marked improvement in all respects over its forbears, reported The Autocar magazine after road-testing the new P-Type Midget in November 1934. A replacement for the successful J2 Midget, the PA followed the general lines of its predecessor but was equipped with a more robust version of MG’s 847cc, fourcylinder, overhead-camshaft engine benefiting from a cross-flow cylinder head, stronger, three-bearing crankshaft and better lubrication. Chassis alterations, many resulting from competition experience, included a longer wheelbase, strengthened transmission and 12-diameter (up from 8’) brakes. Top speed was in the region of 75mph. Built in two- and four-seater variants, the PA in the latter form was the last Midget to offer sportscar motoring for the family. Some 2,000 PAs were produced between 1934 and 1935 when the model was superseded by the relatively short-lived PB. The classical lines of the traditional MG sportscar continued on the successor T series and today these wonderful little cars, whose lines and driving characteristics are so redolent of pre-war days, remain highly sought after by enthusiasts. Purchased by the current vendor in 1969, it was subject to a restoration that year, being completed in 1970. Most recently the car was subject to an engine rebuild, including new king pins, Luvax shock absorbers and had the trafficators disconnected. Finished in the stunning shade of midnight blue over blue both body and chassis and paintwork are in good condition, having been resprayed and re-chromed in the late 1990’s. Mechanically both engine and transmission are in excellent order. The car comes complete with a large history file as you would expect from a car having been in such long ownership, along with aero screens and full weather equipment. Offered with a sensible reserve.

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

Chassis Number: ZA9C00500ELA12675

Estimate: £275,000 - £295,000

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.

Delivered New to Ivor Arbiter 1963 Jaguar E Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe “Barn Find” with only 44,870 miles Period Competition History Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 861107

Estimate: NO RESERVE

This is a fantastically rare “ Barn Find” of this iconic marque and model, presented in carmen red with tan interior and is showing only 44,870 miles on the clock which is believed to be genuine and commensurate with 6 years use in the 1960s. This early Series 1, 3.8l car is one of only 1799 right drive two seater fixed head coupes built, with the aluminium interior panels, bucket seat and 3.8l engine. Producing 265bhp, the car was capable of a top speed of 150mph and 0-60 in under 7 seconds. As Enzo Ferrari famously said “it is the most beautiful car ever made”. The last tax disc is still showing on the windscreen which expired November 1969. The story of this remarkable find can be read below! The car’s first owner in May 1963 was Ivor Arbiter. Ivor owned Drum City and Sound City in London and was at the centre of the 60s music scene, he was of course the designer of the “drop – T” logo for The Beatles. Epstein requested that the band’s name appear on the bass drum so Arbiter sketched the “drop-T” logo on a scrap of paper with the capital B and dropped T to emphasize the word ‘beat’. Drum City was paid £5 for the design and it was hand painted by local sign writer, Eddie Stokes, who painted bass-drum heads for the store during his lunch hour. The Beatles logo is now recognised as one of the most significant and widely reproduced logos in history, and the fact that it was designed by the first owner of this E-Type is not insignificant. In November 1965 the car passed to SB Cain of Greenford. He then solid it to garage owner Howard H Measham who used it for a short period. Howard now 85, remembers the car well, he described it a “phenomenal sports car” having booted it on the A40 near Northolt only to be overtaken by the rear end! Then, in December 1967 the car moved to its last owner Frank Riches. Frank was a keen motorsport enthusiast and raced both the E-Type and his MGTF at Oulton Park, Brands Hatch and Blackbushe between 1967 and 1969. Frank would drive the E-type to the circuit with the MG behind and would then race both cars and drive home!

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.


There are several photographs of this on file. The best photo shows 815 FYK in action at Blackbushe in 1968, with its lightweight extra wide rear wheels (the vendor has them but not on the car), otherwise the configuration is as it is today. Frank’s brother remembers getting the car to 150mph on the ever popular A40! A speed which would probably be penalised by imprisonment today! Frank was unusual in that he kept anything that he took off the car, so the vendor has retained the original centre console, ash tray, blanking plate and Jaguar radiator bar. He has put the console back in the car as you can see. At some time Frank fitted an upgraded brake servo which necessitated the removal of the air cleaner and manifolds, these are with the car and are the early type (without the ribs). He also fitted a US style grille bar to the radiator opening, we believe this was to mount lights given the number of badge bar clamps still on it. The centre bar was then removed to fit the spot lamp. We also believe the high tension lead tube is an original fitting but may have only been used for a short period.

Unfortunately (or perhaps not) Frank burnt out the clutch and instead of getting it fixed he put the car into storage in a lock up until the 1980s (he bought a Series 1 Land Rover to tow the MG), he then moved it to his garden where is remained under a tarpaulin until the present vendor rescued it in 2015 (photo on file showing this location) This wonderful “Barn Find” car is in original condition, with matching numbers and has never been restored. It retains all the features it carried in 1969 and is possibly one of the most original examples remaining today. The interior could be restored given it has all the original switches, gauges and tooled aluminium panels along with the original steering wheel etc. The seats have a lovely patina and should be saved. Obviously the car needs a total restoration but it has all the ingredients to make a superb example – this is a true rarity! This fantastic E Type comes with its original brown log book, V5 and V5C, its last MOT certificate dated November 1968, the sales invoice to Frank Riches for £855 along with the Heritage Certificate confirming all the important details. It also has its original “Operating Maintenance & Service Handbook”, “Service Manual” and “Spare Parts Catalogue” and the original jack.

I had a phone call from the shop to say that someone called Brian Epstein was there with a drummer. Here was this drummer, Ringo, Schmingo, whatever his name was. At that time I certainly hadn’t heard of the Beatles. Every band was going to be big in those days! - Ivor Arbiter

2010 Aspira F620 - the most exclusive supercar in the world Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: RCR904090

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000

Weighing little more than a ton, and powered by a 480bhp 6.2-litre V8, the incredible F620 is a completely one-off hand-built supercar by British car maker Aspira. The project was the brainchild of two British entrepreneurs, Henry Nickless and Craig Gillingham, using the US-based RCR Superlite Coupé as a basis. The Aspira was extensively developed from a road-legal circuit race car into an almost sensible road car with truly supercar looks and performance. The Aspira became almost mythical; several articles have been written about the car, it even has it’s own Wikipedia entry. After 2 years in development, the F620 was given its MAc certificate in 2010, making it a legally compliant, usable “Low Production” production car. This is the only road-registered Aspira F620 with full UK/European road registration in the world, and features the numerous compliancy necessities which enable it to pass the UK’s stringent IVA regulations under low volume criteria. At its heart is the legendary GM LS376 6.2 litre V8 Crate Engine, mated to a fully programmable ECU which provides a rated 480bhp. The engine has been mapped to Road, Race and Economy specs, the mapping being completed by world renowned race engineer Fraser Makeller. The base chassis is a stiff aluminium monocoque, with a rear subframe assembly, fully adjustable rose jointed suspension, and aluminium billet control arms. To maintain road clearance over uneven surfaces, a hydraulic lift kit at the front raises the car by c. 70mm when needed. The interior was completed by a renowned Private Jet/Boat trimmer at a cost of nearly £40,000 alone. Indeed at a total cost exceeding £250,000, the build on this machine is very special, seemlessly crossing into preproduction quality, and is fully road compliant and usable.

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.


As testament to its quality the F620 took pride of place at the Autosport show in 2010 at the NEC in Birmingham, where it received many comments in both looks and finish over the then new Noble M600. Covering just 3900 miles since being complete, this incredibly well developed car has been very lightly used for a variety of events, and special occasions, such as the Force India post Grand Prix garden party in 2014. This car had been its original owner’s hobby for the past 7 years, whose philosophy of never ending improvement and development makes this an enjoyable car to use. We have been informed that the brand name Aspira Cars UK was trademarked in 2009, and could be transferred to any UK/EU buyer. Described as being in excellent condition in all respects, and offered with current UK MoT and UK V5 documents, in addition to many spare components which are available, this is a truly unique opportunity to own a genuine one-off hand-built British supercar.

1960 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: S825235DN

Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000

The final rendition of the XK appeared in May 1957. Easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, and much wider grille, the XK150 retained the mechanical layout of its predecessor; in 210bhp XK150 S form, however, it marked a Jaguar first in having all-round disc brakes, an asset with 0-60mph acceleration of 8.5 seconds and a 125mph maximum. For 1960, the penultimate year of production, the 3,781cc engine was fitted, which in S guise produced 265bhp, sufficient for 132mph and 0-60mph in just 7.5 seconds. First registered on the 19th May 1960, this fully matching numbers, manual/ overdrive car was dispatched from new to the dealer Ritchies in Glasgow. From the 1980s to the present day the car has enjoyed a huge amount of restoration and upgrade work, supported by a thick file of invoices totalling £85,000. Between 2013 and 2014 alone £25,000 was spent on upgrade work, which included a repaint in 2013. Furthermore the car has benefitted from a number of sensible upgrades to improve performance and usability, such as electric power steering, the fitting of a Kenlowe fan, a stainless exhaust system, Koni shock absorbers with new springs, Cooper Craft brakes, and 72 spoke wire wheels. This fabulous car is offered with a Jaguar Heritage certificate (number 35709) and original Jaguar Operating, Maintenance & Service Handbook, in additional to a substantial history file containing many invoices, receipts and MoT certificates. The Jaguar was last serviced at 41,487 miles, and currently stands at 44,405 miles. Finished in a very handsome shade of Gunmetal Grey with a contrasting Wine Red interior, and suppplied with a fresh MoT, this is a great opportunity to own one of the best sorted XK150s in the country. :

1972 Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato 1.3S Series 2 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 818651002886

Estimate: £13,000 - £18,000

The second series Fulvia Sport was launched at the 1970 Turin Motor Show. Changes included: a 5-speed gearbox, revised suspension geometry, taller ride height, an alternator in place of the previous dynamo, a taller final drive compared to coupés, and wider tyres. The body was now all-steel, and seated 2+2 passengers. Some of the Zagato’s most unusual features were lost: the bonnet was now hinged at the front, and the spare wheel compartment hatch was deleted. Several other changes set the second series apart from the first: new driving lights, side mirror moved from the wing to the door, larger bullet-shaped tail lights from the Peugeot 204, and stamped steel wheels without hubcaps. With the Sport 1.3S between 1970–72, it had the same engine as Series 1 1.3 S, but five-speed transmission. Very early versions of these Series 2 cars were fitted with Series I bodyshells with a separate spare wheel-hatch and smaller rear lights and aluminium bonnet and doors. Later versions have all-steel bodyshells, no spare wheel hatch, and larger rear lights.

This lovely example has been cherished by the present owner for the last 6 years. During which time, he has upgraded the upholstery and interior panels to a wonderful black Connolly leather and the exterior is resplendent in iconic Lancia red. There were only 2600 of these particular models built and this example is without doubt one of the best on the market with its odometer showing a mere 56,000 miles and an MOT until March this year. A pretty and fun Italian sports car with style to match.

1935 Jaguar SS1 Sports Tourer Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 248806

Estimate: ÂŁ65,000 - ÂŁ70,000



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 leafsprung 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 fifth ownership by his son, chassis 248806 was repatriated during early 2011. As a retired engineer, this particular gentleman 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 previous 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.

1970 Mercedes 280 SL – 51,500 miles from new Registration Number: EU Taxes paid

Chassis Number: 11804420016494

Estimate: £68,000 - £78,000

In March 1963 the new generation of SL sports cars was launched with the debut of the 230 SL at the Geneva Show. This revolutionary new model replaced the now ageing 190 and 300SL models. Mercedes engineering, together with elegance and practicality, made the pagoda-top SL one of the most distinctive designs of its era. In closed form it offered handsome proportions and coupé-like comfort, whilst the easy removal of the pagoda hard top turned it into an open top sports car for the summer months. During the 1960s Mercedes-Benz refined the model, later fitting the 250 engine and finally arriving at the 280SL. As is the case today, Mercedes-Benz motor cars were never cheap, but superb build quality and sophisticated styling made the 280SL an extremely popular sports car with the rich and famous. This fabulous example of the desirable “ Pagoda” Mercedes has just completed a full re-spray in ivory white and is a genuine matching numbers car with the rare 5 speed ZF factory manual gearbox. The car has covered a mere 51,500 miles from new. This lovely car was originally supplied to South Africa where it remained up until 1999 and has had very little use since then having been in professional storage. Manual transmission models came with the standard 4 speed or optional ZF 5 speed which of course this example has. The car has recently had a full service and comes with a valid MOT certificate. It also comes with its original owner’s manual, dealer directory, service book and tool roll. All instruments are working and the lovely tan interior is in good condition. The car also comes with its original matching factory hard top. This is one of the finest examples we have had and certainly would be one not to miss.

2000 Mini Cooper – 26,650 miles from new Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 183689

Estimate: £6,000- £8,000

Having devised the iconic original back in the early 1960s, John Cooper sold his own modified Minis under the ‘Mini Cooper’ name from the mid-1980s, before Rover’s acquisition of the rights to the name made it possible to officially re-launch the model in September 1990. The new Mini Cooper was based on the Mini 30, the most luxuriously equipped Limited Edition Mini to date, but fitted with the 1,275cc engine rather than the 30’s 998cc unit. What would turn out to be the final Mini version - the Mark 7 - arrived in 1996. Changes included twinpoint fuel injection, higher final drive gearing, driver’s airbag, side impact beams, additional sound insulation, improved front seats, front-mounted radiator and a ‘Sportpack’ option. By the time production ceased in 2000, a total of well over 5 million Minis of all types had been produced, making it the best selling British car of all time. Dating from the final year of the Mini’s production in its original form, this Mini Cooper has covered a mere 26,000-or-so miles from new. Most attractively finished in British Racing Green with ‘white’ roof, it comes with service history that supports the mileage. Offered with fresh MoT and Swansea V5 registration document, this low-mileage Mini Cooper represents an opportunity to acquire a last-of-the-line example of one of the world’s greatest cars, which can only become increasingly collectible.

1980 Rolls-Royce Camargue Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: JRH50294

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000

Before the introduction of the Silver Shadow in October 1965, Rolls-Royce motor cars had traditionally employed a separate chassis, which allowed a variety of coachwork designs. The brief for the Shadow, however, had demanded a modern design: a lower and more compact successor to the Silver Cloud III, which dictated unitary construction, and a monocoque bodyshell. But while this could conceivably have reduced the individual coachwork styles available from Crewe, this proved to be far from the case. Mechanically, the Shadow was similar to the Cloud III, barring the adoption of independent rear suspension – notably improving road holding and ride comfort, and also allowing greater interior space – while the V8 engine was enlarged from 6,230cc to 6,750cc in July 1970. Eight months later the 125mph Corniche was introduced, the fastest Rolls-Royce yet with 10 percent more power; it also benefited from air conditioning, central locking and rack and pinion steering. As the chauffeur was becoming an increasingly rare breed during the 1960s and 1970s, the market turned to personal, owner-driver cars, regardless of price – in some ways and for certain markets, the more expensive the better. Consequently the Corniche was ousted as the Rolls-Royce flagship by the arrival in March 1975 of the opulent Camargue. Its mechanical specification was similar, but the coachwork, for the first time on a production Rolls-Royce, bore the unmistakable signature of Sergio Pininfarina. Sporting and angular with sharp lines according to the prevailing idiom, it was wider and lower than the Corniche. The interior was spacious and opulent, with more than a hint of the private jet about the instruments and the elaborate seats, and the huge doors made entry and exit astonishingly easy for a car with just two of them. This most luxurious of Rolls-Royces was intended to be highly distinctive and aimed at the wealthy owner-driver – it scored on both counts, costing no less than £10,000 more than the Corniche when launched, with the air conditioning system alone was said to cost more than a new Mini! When production ceased in 1986, just 530 of these stylish RollsRoyces had been built during an eleven year run.


This wonderful example in metallic blue with tan hide interior comes with both its original sales brochure and its original service book. The interior is in good condition, still exuding the aroma of new leather as is synonymous with these quality British cars. The car has also recently undergone a respray, and now looks as distinctive as it did when first manufactured. These are rare luxury models of the marque, still providing great touring ability in comfort, and this model specifically is highly sought after these days. This is an opportunity not to be missed.

1926 Rolls-Royce 20 HP Open Tourer By Thrupp & Maberly Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: GZK 81

Estimate: ÂŁ55,000 - ÂŁ65,000

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 Hardman-Hoyle 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.

1973 Aston Martin V8 Saloon Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: V8/11059/RCA

Estimate: £60,000- £70,000

Although always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8, the DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre six of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled inhouse by Bill Towns, the four-seater 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. Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were no complaints when the V8 arrived in 1969. After the sale of Aston Martin to ‘Company Developments’ in January 1972, work started on a comprehensive facelift of the DBSV8, the main visual cue being the adoption of single headlamps and a revised front grille. Now known as the AMV8, the car retained the Bosch mechanical fuel injection system until August 1973, when four twin choke Weber carburettors were fitted, together with updates to the interior trim, a bigger bonnet bulge to clear the carburettor air box and a re-designed fuel tank to allow more luggage space. Purchased by the vendors father brand new direct from Aston Martin Lagonda in Newport Pagnell, for Mr J V R Bullough of Underfell, Barbon, Nr Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria; a well known customer to Aston Martin who purchased a new vehicle every two years in the same colour, specifically, Deep Carriage Green with black interior. Delivered new to the UK in 1973 this Aston, like so many others at the time, went through a succession of 2 owners, until a Mr Frost from Worthing sold the car in 1983 to a Mr Ian Miles of Ashford in Kent. Miles, the cars fourth owner, moved to New Zealand and decided to take the car with him. The file contains various bills and receipts from Richard Stuart Williams before its export. Bills in the file also confirm 17,000 NZ dollars were spent on an engine rebuild. Repatriated to the UK in 2015 the car is now with its 5th owner and is resplendent in a wonderfully original condition. On returning to the UK the car was given a running over by marque specialist and supplied with a new MoT - the carburettor engine runs very smoothly indeed. Offered with its original owner’s manual and a host of bills and receipts this car has to be seen to be appreciated.

2000 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SCAZK28E8YCH68052

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000

The fifth Rolls-Royce to bear the Corniche name made its debut in January 2000. At the time of its release, it was the most expensive vehicle offered by Rolls-Royce, with a base price of USD$359,900. Its production was ceased shortly thereafter, in 2001, as Bentley and Rolls-Royce became two separate companies again, with two different owners. Bentley became a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG and continued to be manufactured in the Crewe factory while Rolls-Royce was owned solely by BMW and produced in an entirely new factory built by BMW. The Corniche was the only new Rolls-Royce developed under Volkswagen’s ownership, before the marque was passed to BMW in 2003. All Corniches were completely hand-built. The car was considered a slightly softer, and even more exclusive, version of the Bentley Azure. The very last Rolls-Royce Corniche rolled off the assembly line on August 30, 2002. This was the very last Rolls-Royce to be made at the Crewe plant before it was turned over entirely to the production of Bentley models. Only 374 fifth-generation Corniches were ever built. The Corniche came outfitted with every luxury and refinement characteristic of a Rolls-Royce, such as a Connolly leather interior, Wilton wool carpets, chrome gauges and a wide choice of exotic wood trims. Dual automatic temperature control, a sixdisc CD changer, automatic headlamps and automatic ride control are standard. This particular example has an interesting history. First assigned to the Rolls Royce works with the famous registration plate RR1 (which is historically used for press cars), it then went into long term single family ownership before being recently acquired by the current vendor. Presented in a stunning shade of Amethyst Blue with a matching blue convertible roof, and Cotswold cream leather, and showing a mere 18,000 miles from new, this is a truly fabulous example of a modern classic. Described by our vendor as being in excellent order in all respects, and supplied with a UK V5 document, current MoT certificate, and the relevant handbooks and documentation, this truly is a wonderful Rolls Royce which will provide many Summers of relaxing driving.

1971 Ferrari Dino 246GT Coupé Coachwork by Scaglietti - Design by Pininfarina Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: 02188

Estimate: £220,000- £240,000

‘It is a thrill to drive a car like the Dino, one whose capabilities are far beyond what even an expert driver can use in most real-world motoring, and that is the Dino’s reason for being. The real joy of a good mid-engined car is in its handling and braking and the Dino shone as we expected it to. The steering is quick without being super quick, and it transmits by what seems a carefully planned amount of feedback exactly what is going on at the tyres. Thanks to the layout’s low polar moment of inertia the car responds instantly to it. The Dino’s cornering limits are very high... ‘ – Road & Track. It was the need for a production-based engine for the new Formula 2 that had prompted the introduction of a ‘junior’ Ferrari, the Dino 206GT, at the Turin Motor Show in 1967. The latest in a line of Dino V6 ‘quad-cam’ engines stretching back to the late 1950s, the new unit proved as successful on the racetrack as in the showroom, Derek Bell and Ernesto Brambilla both winning races in the European Championship, while Andrea de Adamich triumphed in the 1968 Argentine Temporada series. Building on experienced gained with its successful limited edition Dino 206S sports-racer of 1966, Ferrari retained the racer’s mid-engined layout for the road car but installed the power unit transversely rather than longitudinally. A compact, aluminium-bodied coupé of striking appearance, the Pininfarina-styled Dino - named after Enzo Ferrari’s late son Alfredino Ferrari and intended as the first of a separate but related marque - was powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cam V6 driving via an in-unit five-speed transaxle. The motor’s 180 brake horsepower was good enough to propel the lightweight, aerodynamically-efficient Dino to 142mph, and while there were few complaints about the car’s performance, the high cost enforced by its aluminium construction hindered sales.

A 2.4-litre version on a longer wheelbase - the 246GT - replaced the original Dino 206 in late 1969. Built by Scaglietti, the body was now steel and the cylinder block cast-iron rather than aluminium, but the bigger engine’s increased power - 195bhp at 7,600rpm - adequately compensated for the weight gain. A Targa-top version, the 246GTS, followed in 1972. The Dino 246 was built in three series: ‘L’, ‘M’ and ‘E’, these designations reflecting detail changes in the specification. Of the three, the M-series is by far the rarest, being produced during the early months of 1971 only. Changes from the preceding L-series included a 30mm increase in rear track; five-bolt fixing for the road wheels; internal boot release; seat-mounted headrests; and various minor improvements to the engine and gearbox. While not quite as fast in a straight line as its larger V12-engined stablemates, the nimble Dino was capable of showing almost anything a clean pair of heels over twisty going. Truly a driver’s car ‘par excellence’. Delivered new to Italy and supplied through Ravasio in July 1971 this wonderful Rosso Corsa over Nero 246 GT, is what can only be described as, in excellent overall condition.


Offered complete with a host of Italian road tax documents and its original Manuals, it has most recently been registered for road use in the UK. Offered with UK V5 registration and mechanically excellent it is offered with a fresh MoT. Rarely do such nice LHD examples change hands on the open market. Less than half the price of a Daytona and trailing some way behind the 206 GT, this late 1960’s Pininfarina designed Ferrari offers terrific value in today’s market.

Mackley-North Collection 1988 Ferrari Testarossa Coupe Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: ZFFAA17B000078092

Estimate: £75,000- £90,000

Rivalling Lamborghini’s Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly, the gill slats feeding air to its side-mounted radiators being one of the modern era’s most instantly recognisable – and copied - styling devices. A larger car than the 512BB - the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tyres - the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low coefficient of drag, its graceful body being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other such devices. Despite the increase in size over the 512BB, the Testarossa was lighter than its predecessor, the body - its steel doors and roof excepted - being, somewhat unusually for a production Ferrari, of aluminium. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel and plentiful leather. Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessed light controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied to its outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to an instant and sustained high level of demand. In 1992 the original Testarossa was succeeded by the updated 512TR version, which came with 428bhp on tap, while ABS brakes were added to the package before the 512TR was replaced by what would be the Testarossa’s final incarnation – the 512M – for 1995. For the first time there were major cosmetic changes: the original pop-up headlights being replaced by fixed lamps beneath clear covers, the grille size reduced, round tail lamps adopted and three-piece wheels fitted. Titanium connecting rods went into the engine, which produced marginally more power and torque than before. This example of the legendary Italian supercar has covered 66,000 kilometres from new. The car is in excellent overall condition both bodily and mechanically, it comes with a host of bills and receipts from its previous Italian Keeper . The detailed engine bay is arguably the finest we have seen on any Testrossa- a sure sign this car has been nurtured throughout its life. Offered with UK registration papers and a current UK MoT this is of one of the most iconic 1980s supercars and still turns as many heads today as it did when it was new. Truly Pininfarina at its best – flamboyant yet futuristic – a true classic.

Mackley-North Collection 1997 Ferrari 456 GTA – 27,000 miles from new Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: ZFFWP50C000108323

Estimate: £48,000 - £58,000

Not since the 412’s demise in 1989 had Ferrari offered a ‘2+2’ and when the 456GT debuted at the Paris Salon in October 1992 it was obvious that the long awaited newcomer eclipsed all Maranello’s previous four-seat Grand Tourers. Although new from stem to stern, the 456GT incorporated elements familiar to generations of Ferrari cognoscenti - front-mounted four-cam V12, rear transaxle, tubular steel spaceframe chassis and all-independent suspension - while making an appearance for the first time were electronically-controlled adaptive suspension and a six-speed gearbox. Essentially a de-tuned version of that powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442bhp at a lowly 6,250rpm yet remained smooth and tractable from idling speed to red-line thanks to its state-of-the-art engine management system. F40 excepted, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that time, yet despite delivering supercar performance this relatively unstressed engine has proven to be very reliable. For the 456 Pininfarina worked its magic once more to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Although bereft of extraneous aerodynamic devices, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum of around 190mph, a figure that made it the world’s fastest production four-seater passenger car. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456’s styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina’s farsightedness in creating one of most successful designs of modern times. An air-conditioned interior, sumptuous Connolly leather trim, perfectly weighted power steering and Porsche-rivalling build quality all combined to make the 456GT a worthy competitor for Bentley, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz. An automatic transmission version, known as the 456GT A, became available for 1997 and then two years later the model was given its oneand-only makeover, re-emerging as the subtly restyled and improved 456 M GT.

This right hand drive automatic transmission example of the latter has covered just 27,000 miles from new and comes with substantial service history with main dealers and recognised specialists, including the stamped service booklet and related bills, the most recent of which at 27,600 miles in December 2015. Finished in Grigio with red leather interior, the car is in excellent condition, as one would expect with such a low mileage example. Offered with the aforementioned service history, all handbooks, current MoT and Swansea V5. 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.

Chassis Number: ZFFLA4OB000093206

Estimate: £150,000 - £170,000

Introduced in 1992, the 512 TR was one of the final developments of Ferrari’s sensational Testarossa supercar. Ferrari’s flagship model, the Testarossa revived a famous name from the Italian company’s past when it arrived in 1984. A ‘next generation’ Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor’s amidshipsmounted, 5.0-litre, flat-12 engine; the latter now boasting a maximum power output raised to 380bhp courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and driveability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allied to a maximum speed of 180mph. Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessed light controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied to its outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to an instant and sustained high level of demand. In 1992 the original Testarossa was succeeded by the extensively revised and improved 512 TR version, which came with 422bhp on tap and noticeably greater grip than its predecessor, the latter being much appreciated by Autocar’s tester: ‘The 512 resolved information about the road surface explicitly; the Testarossa’s feedback wasn’t as sharply focussed nor ultimately as useful when travelling quickly.’ And the 512 TR could certainly manage that, its claimed top speed being 314km/h. This stunning 512 TR was sold new to its first owner in Italy before being acquired in 2015 by the current vendor. In Italy it formed part of a large stable of Ferraris , and we understand was shown at an array of Ferrari Concours de Elegance and has covered just 8,000 km. Testament to this- The car still retains its original protective film on its side skirts. Offered in generally excellent condition, it comes with UK registration papers and a current MoT- the original instruction book and service manual, and the original tool kit. Finished in the classic colour combination of Rosso Corsa with black leather interior, this 512 TR is a most attractive proposal for the Ferrari aficionado, and must be the lowest mileage example available on the market today.

Mackley-North Collection 2003 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: ZFFDT57B000134636

Estimate: £160,000 - £180,000

Ferrari’s most successful model since the 308, the F355 was always going to be a tough act to follow. Its successor needed to be groundbreaking and revolutionary; two words which, without doubt the 360 lived up to. Starting with a clean sheet of paper in designing the 360 Modena, the new car attracted superlatives that put even its illustrious predecessor in the shade. Just about the only item carried over from the F355 was its glorious V8 engine, enlarged from 3.5 to 3.6 litres for the 360, producing 400bhp. In every other respect the 360 was entirely new, the most striking break with Ferrari tradition being the body’s frontal treatment; gone was the omnipresent oval grille, replaced by two separate intakes set low into the front wings. A larger car than the F355, the 360 owed its radical new shape to the quest for increased downforce, generating four times as much as its predecessor yet achieving the impressively low Cd of 0.33. There was further innovation beneath the skin: a lighter, stiffer aluminium spaceframe/monocoque replacing the old tubular steel arrangement, resulting in a dry weight around 220lbs less than that of the F355. The 360’s on-the-road dynamics constituted a significant advance, its best time around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track being some three seconds faster than the F355’s. Commencing with the 348, Ferrari had started the first factory-backed, one-make race series for amateur and semiprofessional racing drivers back in 1993, and the immensely successful Ferrari Challenge increased in popularity with the subsequent introduction of the F355 and 360 Modena. The latter first appeared on the grid in Challenge form in 2000, featuring a multitude of alterations making it more suitable for track use. Three years later, at the Geneva International Motor Show, Ferrari introduced the 360 Challenge Stradale, which in essence was a lightened version of the 360 Modena incorporating some of the racer’s suspension and braking improvements while remaining sufficiently civilised for road use.

This fabulous example was originally registered new in Germany to Alexander Rebhorn, a friend of Michael Schumacher, and son in law of Michael’s manager, Willi Weber. The 360 travelled to Japan, being owned by an enthusiast as part of his private collection, and serviced by a Ferrari specialist at intervals of 996km, 2570km, 5378km, 8911km, 12084km, 16412km and 17085km. Since being repatriated to Europe, the 360 has enjoyed a full service (including timing belt) in early 2015, with further servicing work having been completed towards the end of last summer. As such we have been informed the clutch shows only 2.5% wear, and the brakes 17% wear. European registered, and offered with a current MoT, UK V5 and Certificate of Conformity, this beautiful example is offered in excellent condition in all respects, and is a real credit to its current owner. A track-oriented derivative of any Ferrari is a special car, and no more so than this well maintained example of a gamechanging supercar.

1988 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Sport Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91KZKS140396

Estimate: £28,000- £35,000

Porsche developed a reputation early on for their surprising performance from their small displacement rear-engine sports and racing cars. These ‘giant killers’ could outperform cars with much higher horsepower figures by making light cars with incredible handling. This combination gave Porsches their truly unique driving characteristics and dedicated following of Porsche enthusiasts. Starting in 1963 with the original 911, Porsche has produced a line of six-cylinder rear-engine sportscars that could compete with much more powerful cars thanks to their low weight and superior handling. The 911 quickly became an icon of performance and handling and offered a driving experience unlike anything else. The 911 has continuously evolved into a more sophisticated, powerful, and capable driving machine, as well as a reliable and usable car. Introduced in 1984, The Carrera 3.2 was the last iteration of the classic 911 before the large changes for the 964. The Carrera 3.2 is fitted with a rear-mounted, air-cooled SOHC 3.2 liter flat six. This engine, equipped with Bosch LE-Jetronic fuel injection, could produce 217 horsepower at 5,900 rpm. Maximum torque was 195 foot-pounds at 4,800 rpm, which was delivered through the Getrag G50 five-speed manual transaxle and hydraulic clutch, much welcomed introductions for the 1987 production year. The Carrera 3.2 also featured an improved interior over its predecessor, the 911 SC, with liberal use of leather and comfort features like power seats, power wing mirrors, and air conditioning. True to Porsche’s reputation, the Carrera 3.2 offered the unique experience of driving pleasure and performance without sacrificing comfort and usability. Because of their robust construction and strong owners groups, these 1980s 911s are great cars to be enjoyed and driven. This exceptional 3.2 Targa is the last of the iconic impact bumper cars and is offered in the desirable colour combination of black over linen leather. The extensive full ‘Book’ file of service history with a stamped service book- with a host of bills receipts and MoT’s from new comes with the car. 911s of this era are amongst the fastest, most driveable supercars you can own. Dial in the wind-in-the -hair fun of the targa-top and you have a dream classic 911 in which to embark on summer tours, or merely blast through the lanes on a Sunday morning.

1979 Maserati Khamsin Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: AM120371

Estimate: £95,000 - £105,000

Following the tradition of naming their models after strong winds, Maserati revealed the Khamsin at the 1972 Turin auto salon, where its superb looks drew strong praise from all observers. After a two year gestation period the new car entered production in 1974, where it met head on its market place competition, Lamborghini’s Espada and the Aston Martin V8. Powered by a 4.9 litre version of Maserati’s own quad camshaft V8, which was derived from the unit used to good effect in the firm’s sports racing cars, this was common to the Bora and Ghibli SS and produced a claimed 320bhp at 5,500rpm. Obviously such a power output was sufficient to propel the car to very high speeds, whilst braking and steering incorporated Citroen’s revolutionary hydraulics, providing superb manoeuvrability and control. The styling is timeless, as one would expect from Marcello Gandini the genius who heads Bertone’s design company. Typical of Gandini’s maverick design touches are the assymetric vent across the bonnet and the vertical glass tail panel, with inset rear light clusters. This was without doubt an extraordinarily successful design. Limited production ran from 1974 until 1978, with a total of only 352 cars being produced. This example in red with tan leather interior has had the benefit of a complete engine rebuild in April 2015 which also included a new camshaft and oil sump. There is a considerable history file containing many invoices from Bill McGrath Maserati and Beacon Hill Garage documenting all recent works carried out. These attractive Italian sports cars are rare to find in right hand drive and are highly sought after in recent years.

1948 Allard L Type Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 71L632

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000

Using a crashed Ford V-8 coupe onto which he had grafted the body from a Grand Prix Bugatti, racing driver Sydney Allard constructed one of the most unlikely of all pre-war trials specials. However, the Allard Special’s lightweight construction and relatively powerful American V-8 engine, although not the first such combination, demonstrated the formula’s potential and provided the inspiration for future imitators, including Carroll Shelby who acknowledged Allard’s influence on the Cobra. Introduced in 1946, the L-Type employed Allard’s trademark independently suspended ‘split’ front axle and transverse-leaf rear end in a chassis 6” longer than that of the contemporary K-Type, the extra length being used to accommodate two rear passenger seats. Like the vast majority of production Allards, the L-Type used Ford/Mercury components, these being readily obtainable from Ford in the UK, the choice of engines being the 221ci Ford or modified 239ci Mercury V-8. A mere 191 examples were produced between 1946 and 1950, only 10 of which are currently known to the Allard Register. This wonderful example in black with a red leather interior was first registered new to a Doctor in Paisley on 03/09/1948. The first two log books are with the car as well as most, if not all, documents to substantiate an unbroken run of owners to the present date which is remarkable. The previous but one owner acquired the car in 1994 having been the subject of restoration by Colin Daniel. Colin was a joiner and had replaced all the suspect timber in the bodywork, carrying out all the mechanical, body and interior work himself. This restoration was covered by a 4/5 page article in the Practical Classics magazine in 1988. Colin also fabricated a jig using the L Type’s front grill with which he was able to reproduce perfect replicas for other club members. During this ownership until 2009, the vendor replaced all braking system components, all steering joints and idler bearing, steering box overhauled, front and rear leaf springs rebuilt, gearbox/clutch/engine overhaul.

Also, all major re-chroming took place with a new hood, side screens, tonneaux cover and carpets. The car has had very little use over the last 8/9 years only being used in clement weather. The present vendor has enjoyed it immensely but has recently acquired another and has to make room in his garage, hence this wonderful model being sold. An iconic example of British motoring which was manufactured in Clapham and is still a joy to drive today. Not to be missed.

1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mk 111 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: HBJ8L29975

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000

Donald Healey was active in motor sport well before World War II, his achievements including an outright win with an Invicta in the Monte Carlo Rally and no less than six Alpine Cups. He drove and designed cars for Triumph from 1934 to 1939, but after the war he decided to go it alone and produced a series of sports cars using Riley and Nash engines that soon ran up an impressive number of successes in events such as the Targa Florio, the Mille Miglia and the 24 hour races at Spa and Le Mans. In 1952 he showed his Healey 100 at the London Motor Show. This used the four cylinder, 2.6 litre Austin A90 engine and, by the time the show closed, Healey had been signed up by the Austin Motor Co, which would make the car as the Austin Healey. The ultimate Healey model came in early 1964 with the introduction of the BJ8, the 3000 Mk III. The car incorporated myriad changes, most notably increased power, twin 2” SUs, revised exhaust system, new dash design, electronic tachometer and vacuum brake servo. The interior was far more refined, for example: the old steel dash panel was replaced with wood veneer, the seats covered in real leather and a useful console placed between the front seats. This lovely left hand drive example in metallic blue was restored in 1988/89 and has stood the test of time whilst it was in Maine USA. The paintwork is extremely good as is the blue interior and matching blue hood. This model has the desirable and tractable 3000 engine and is the ‘Phase one’ example making it a little bit rarer that other models. This is a wonderful example of these iconic British sports cars, which are a joy to drive and puts the thrill back into open top motoring both here in the UK or in Europe. Not to be missed.

Lot 134

1976 Porsche 911 2.7S Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid

Chassis Number: 9116301037

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000

After 1973, it was decided that the 2.4 litre wasn’t really fast enough for the 911, with the impending American emissions standards threatening to slow the model down to the point that ordinary Cadillacs would smoke its droopy tail. The solution: to take the 2.7-liter engine developed for the Carrera RS, detune it a bit, and make it standard across the board. This made the 911 a very usable sports car for all driving conditions. It was only natural that capacity for mainstream production should be increased to 2687cc, which gave a good increase in torque to match the 150 bhp of the 911 2.7 Coupe. Impact bumpers were now required to satisfy American law and production ran from 1974 to 1977. Finished in the perfect 1970s shade of Porsche Light Yellow, with a contrasting black interior, this highly underrated 911 now provides excellent value in the current market. Described as being in good condition all respects, the 1976 model 2.7S you see here is offered with EU customs cleared, and supplied with a number of service invoices. What a fun, accessible way to get yourself into the driving seat of a proper 1970s Porsche!

Lot 135

1956 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: 1210426504019

Estimate: £75,000 – £85,000

During the 50s, when Mercedes-Benz were the dominant force in top-level motor sport, the undisputed flagship of the firm’s production car range was the stunning 300SL sports car. Highly desirable as it was, it was also financially out of the reach of most enthusiasts. Keen to capitalise on the 300SL’s numerous competition successes, and find a foothold in the increasingly lucrative sports car market, Mercedes-Benz introduced its smaller stable mate, the equally beautifully engineered 190SL.

The 190SL was sold alongside the faster, more expensive Mercedes-Benz 300SL, similar not just in terms of styling, engineering and detailing, but also sharing fully independent suspension, double wishbone suspension at the front and swing axles at the rear. The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly over square 1.9 litre straight-four SOHC engine that developed 120hp with twin-choke dual Solex carburettors, the four-cylinder engine block was based on the six-cylinder engine of the 300 SL. Teamed with a four-speed manual gearbox, this endowed the sleep aerodynamic and comparatively light 190SL that boasted a top speed of 115mph and a respectable 0-60 time of 13.0 seconds. Originally registered to Holland, this lovely example has been consigned from a Dutch collector of 1950s and 1960s Mercedes SL roadsters, having had a full restoration in 2013. Since being restored we are told the car has never been driven, as such the body, chassis and interior are in excellent condition. Finished in the classic combination Elfenbein (Ivory) with a contrasting Wine red interior, and offered with a Dutch title document, this is a beautiful example of a truly iconic 1950s sports car.

Lot 136

1967 Maserati Mistral 4000 Coupé Coachwork by Carrozzeria Frua Registration Number: EU taxes paid

Chassis Number: AM109A1 1174IGM

Estimate: £30,000- £40,000

Maserati’s survival strategy for the 1960s centred on establishing the company - which hitherto had mainly concentrated on its Grand Prix and sports car racing activities - as a producer of road cars. The Modena marque’s new era began in 1957 with the launch at the Geneva Salon of the Touring-bodied 3500GT. A luxury ‘2+2’, the 3500GT drew heavily on Maserati’s competition experience, employing a tubular chassis frame and an engine derived from the 350S sports car unit of 1956. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs, while at the back there was a conventional live axle/semi-elliptic arrangement. The 3500GT’s designer was none other than Giulio Alfieri, creator of the immortal Tipo 60/61 ‘Birdcage’ sports-racer and the man responsible for developing the 250F into a World Championship winner. The twin-overheadcamshaft, six-cylinder engine was a close relative of that used in the 250F and developed around 220bhp initially, later examples producing 235bhp on Lucas mechanical fuel injection. Built initially with drum brakes and four-speed transmission, the 3500GT was progressively updated, gaining five speeds, front disc brakes and, finally, all-disc braking. The next development of the theme arrived in 1962. Built on the short-wheelbase chassis of the Vignale-bodied 3500GT spyder, the Sebring coupé featured a five-speed gearbox, disc brakes and fuel injection as standard equipment, with automatic transmission, air conditioning and a limited-slip differential available as options. Last of the classic six-cylinder Maseratis, the Pietro Frua-styled Mistral commenced production in 1963. The 3.7-litre version of the famous long-stroke engine was fitted to most cars, other options being the 3.5-litre or, from 1966, the 4.0-litre unit, all of which came with Lucas fuel injection.

A handsome two-seater on a shortened, square-tube chassis, the Mistral was built in coupé and spyder versions, the former’s opening rear window hatch making it unusually practical for a sports car. A five-speed gearbox, disc brakes and fuel injection were standard equipment; automatic transmission, air conditioning and a limited-slip differential the options. Production ceased in 1970, by which time a total of 827 coupés and 123 spyders had been built. First registered in 1967, this particular Mistral has the desirable manual transmission, while the sometimes troublesome Lucas fuel infection has been replaced with a trio of carburettors, a popular modification among owners of these later six-cylinder Maseratis. Offered complete, the car was imported to the UK in 2013 from the sunny Californian climate where it had been dry stored for many years. With the body in such good condition, it would make this an easy restoration project and with restored 4000 Coupes now in the region of £120,000 this wonderful project is offered with a very realistic reserve.

Lot 137

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster Registration Number: Spanish registered

Chassis Number: 11304410002435

Estimate: ÂŁ32,000 - ÂŁ38,000

In 1963 when Mercedes-Benz introduced the new 230SL, the company had a very full catalog. There were sedans large and small, diesels, coupes, cabriolets in several lines and six different sports cars. Those sports cars were the revered 300SL, the boulevard-cruising 190SL and the brand new 230SL. With a factory hardtop bolted onto any of those three sports cars, suddenly there were three sports roadsters and trio of two-seater coupes.

The brand new sports car had a shape that was crisper than its predecessors, but the grille showed a clear family connection. Although there was a single convertible body, the car was available in three configurations: soft top only, hard top only and both tops. The fuel-injected, four-main bearing 2.3-liter overhead camshaft inline six was rated at 170 SAE horsepower and drove the rear wheels through either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Like its stable mate sports cars, independent suspension was fitted all around. Stopping was addressed by disc brakes up front and drums in the rear. When it came to performance and comfort, the new SL was a perfect compromise between the 190 and the 300, which vanished from the line for 1964. The 230SL was equally capable for around town use and for covering long distances at high speeds with little driver fatigue. The stylish Mercedes-Benz also made a statement that its driver had means and great taste. For 1967, the SL was given a larger 2,496cc engine built around a seven main-bearing crankshaft. This longer-stroke engine was much stronger and offered up more torque. Horsepower was unchanged, but flexibility was greatly improved. The 250SL also gained rear disc brakes and a collapsible steering wheel column. Gone after a single model year, the 250SL was replaced by the most developed version of the model, the 280SL. Once again, the big change came under the hood.

The single-cam injected six was enlarged again, this time to 2,778cc. Horsepower was up to 180 and torque took a big jump again, this time to 193 pound-feet. In 280 form, the SL was quick, comfortable and beautifully built. With the manual transmission it was a sporting car and with the automatic it had a tamer character. The car on offer is jet black with a complementary cream interior. It features the rare four-speed manual transmission and is fitted with both a recent soft top and its original colour-matched hardtop. Unlike many cars that are approaching 40 years old, this one is perfectly suited for the modern world. It has excellent performance, an engine known for a long life, and the timeless looks of an open Mercedes.

1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Two-Door Saloon Coachwork by H J Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd – One family owner from new Registration Number: EU registered

Chassis Number: LSGT641C

Estimate: £60,000- £70,000

‘The size and grandeur of the car… deceive one about the performance which would do justice to many a car of more sporting pretensions. The finish, both in detail and the broader sense of equipment and trim, is superb.’ - Motor magazine on the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III. As well as the factory-bodied cars, bespoke creations from James Young and the recently merged firm of H J Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd (by this time Rolls-Royceowned) continued to be available on the ’Cloud III chassis for those discerning enthusiasts wealthy enough to afford them. Indeed, as the factory did not offer a convertible or drophead coupé, a coachbuilt car was the only option if one’s preference was Rolls-Royce-style fresh air motoring. First introduced in 1958, H J Mulliner’s was the most successful of its type, lasting into 1963; more modern ‘straight-through wing’ designs became the preferred style thereafter. Of the latter, by far the most striking were those bodied in a style originated by Park Ward. This design by Norwegian Vilhelm Koren, with its influential continuous frontto-rear wing line, first appeared, on the Bentley S2 Continental, in 1959 but did not become available on non-Continental models (both Bentley and Rolls-Royce) until after the arrival of the Silver Cloud III and S3 in 1962. These ‘Chinese Eye’ models - so called because of their slanting headlamp nacelles - constituted the majority of coachbuilt variants completed between 1962 and 1966. This wonderful ‘Chinese Eye’ Silver Cloud III is offered with single family ownership from new. Complete with its original sales invoice, with its envelope from Rolls Royce Motor Cars this car is offered with a wonderful History file. The car was used throughout Europe for commuting to the Switzerland in the 1960’s and early 1970’s before it was parked in a garage in North London. Most recently discovered after 20 years in dry storage this left hand drive example is offered today for the first time to the open market since it was new in 1965. Both engine and transmission are confirmed to be in good order as too is the chassis. The Coachwork by H J Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd still carries the original deep mahogany paintwork and the magnolia interior. It is wonderfully original and time warped. This wonderful Chinese eye presents its new custodian a unique opportunity to be the second owner from new of a wonderfully original left land drive S III Continental. Quite simply unique.

2010 Porsche 997 GT2 Club Sport Registration Number: EU taxes paid

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ9929S776243

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000

Simply put, the 911 GT2 is the fastest and most powerful road-going Porsche 911 to ever see the light of day. Essentially a pure and pretty radical racing version of the 997 Turbo, the GT2 has many weight-saving features, in addition to the minimum of creature comforts. The chassis is based on the normally aspirated GT3, with suspension and brakes geared specifically to the needs of the more serious driver. At the heart of the car is a modified version of the Turbo’s powerplant. The engine features a remapped ECU, uprated turbos, a revised exhaust system in titanium, all of which helps push the motor to 530bhp. The bodywork was modified with a new front bumper, revised rear bumper, also a larger rear wing with two small air scoops on either side. And the result of all of these modifications by Porsche is as follows, 0 to 100kph in 3.6 seconds. 0 to 200kph in 10.6 seconds. Maximum speed 204 mph. The only Porsche which comes close is the 1998 Porsche 911 GT1, a homologated race car for street use. Famous race car pilot and Porsche development team member, Walter Röhrl drove the GT2 round the famous Nürburgring in 7 minutes 30 seconds, in the process getting rather close to Porsche’s own Carrera GT hypercar’s figures. Pleasingly, this rare 997 GT2 Club Sport, first registered in late 2010, has been in the custody of just one owner from new, and is offered with UK customs cleared, also a dealer service record. Truly a sought after limited production run modern classic supercar, and one of a handful of road cars able to break 200 miles per hour barrier.

1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: 11304210009481

Estimate: £32,000 - £38,000

Introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1963 as replacement for the 190SL, the 230SL abandoned its predecessor’s four-cylinder engine in favor of a 2.3-liter fuel-injected six derived from that of the 220SE and producing 150bhp. An instant classic, the body design was all-new while beneath the skin the running gear was conventional Mercedes-Benz, featuring all-round independent suspension (by swing axles at the rear), disc front/drum rear brakes and a choice of four-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

Top speed was in excess of 120mph. The 230SL even managed a debut competition victory, winning the Spa-Sofia-Liège Rally in the hands of Eugen Bohringer. Christened ‘pagoda top’ after their distinctive cabin shape, these SL models were amongst the best-loved sports-tourers of their day and continue to be highly sought after by collectors.

1959 Bianchina Transformabile Registration Number: EU Taxes paid

Chassis Number: 009662

Estimate: £17,000 – £22,000

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 was sold new near Pavia, in the north of Italy, and remained in Italy until today, covering only 61,400 km during its life. This car was restored during the 80s and has just passed the Italian MOT and comes to the selling with its Italian Libretto where is possible to see that the car is matching number: chassis 009662 and engine 050243. A very good opportunity to buy one of the cutest cars ever built.

1972 Fiat 500 Registration Number: Italian Registered

Chassis Number: 5055966

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000

Replacement for FIAT’s much-loved 500 ‘Topolino’, the Nuova 500 debuted in 1957. A radical departure from its predecessor’s essentially pre-war design, FIAT’s new baby featured unitary construction, a full-length opening fabric roof and all-independent suspension while carrying its engine at the rear. The 479cc power unit was an air-cooled overhead-valve twin, the first such used by FIAT, and the gearbox a four-speeder. The basic 500’s austerity was not well received, prompting the introduction of a revised and better equipped version endowed with refinements such as wind-down windows, upholstered rear seat, column-mounted switchgear stalks and hub caps for the wheels. Introduced in 1960, the 500D used the 499.5cc engine of the 500 Sport in de-tuned form, but nevertheless brought with it a small gain in horsepower. This charming example has come to the auction from its native land of Italy, and is described as being in very good condition throughout and suitable for daily and/or regular use. Attractively finished in white with a black interior, this enduring icon is most suitable for use in the spring and summer classic car season.

1959 Jaguar MK IX 3.8L Ex - 1982 Lord Mayor of London Sir Anthony Joliffe Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 771021BW

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000

The Mark IX was popular as a ceremonial car for state dignitaries. When Charles de Gaulle paid a state visit to Canada in 1960, the official cars for the motorcade were Mark IX Jaguars, rather than Cadillacs or Lincolns. The English Queen Mother had a Mark VII Jaguar which was progressively upgraded to be externally identical to the later Mark IX. The Mark IX was the first production Jaguar to offer four-wheel servo-assisted Dunlop disc brakes and recirculating ball power steering, which were now standard equipment. This car’s first owner bought it from Jaguar main agents Brown’s of Bath in March 1959. It spent its first six years in Portishead, Somerset. The car’s next three years were spent back in Bath before being sold to its third owner in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. It spent four years there before being bought to Bradford in 1978. That owner made a cherished number plate transfer to OKU9 in December of that year. The buff logbook system ended to be replaced by the computer V5 system. But work receipts show the car to be owned in Leeds in 1986 and then by Sir Anthony Joliffe, a former Lord Mayor of London, from January 1988. Sir Anthony housed a private motor museum at his Chartridge, Buckinghamshire estate. This was to be the first collector to exhibit rather than drive the car. A set of saved valuation and MOT certificates starts with a May 1978-issued MOT certificate at 46,641. Sir Anthony’s last work receipt held is dated January 1992. The history is picked up again in 1999 with another “investment” owner, in the Republic of Ireland. After six years, the car was transferred to a third owner who transferred the car to the current keeper. The car has been extensively mechanically and bodily restored with over £3,000 spent over the past few months by the current owner, a retired Metropolitan Police Traffic & Transport Officer, also a Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club member since 2014. The two-tone walnut veneer is un-blistered with no cracks to the varnish. The trimmed original style carpets and underlay have been replaced by original factory-supplied style in original Sage Green. The car’s original toolkits are situated in push button fold down drawers in passenger and drivers’ doors. Original wheel brace and jack are housed in correct boot clips and it comes with its original driver’s handbook. Correct boot mat, Hardura boot covers, and spare wheel cover, all keys are correct and believed to be an original set. There was also and extensive refurbishment of the original bench leathers in Jaguar Suede Green. A wonderful example in great condition and not to be missed.

Lot 144

1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SKP233

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S series, announced in April 1955, employed such a chassis, to which was mounted Standard Steel coachwork. Incorporating coil spring/wishbone front suspension with semi-elliptic rear springs and a single radius arm to locate the live rear axle, it also featured centralised lubrication and all-round drum brakes. Power was provided by the 4,887cc straight six engine of the Bentley R Type Continental producing an estimated 158bhp; notably for the first time, Rolls-Royce and Bentley models shared the same four-speed automatic transmission, allowing a top speed of 100mph. The Evolution Silver Cloud II and S2 models of 1959 used Rolls’ new light alloy V8 engine but otherwise differed from their predecessors only in having a long life chassis lubrication system, standard power steering, increased front braking effort, a reduction in rear roll stiffness, a new ventilation system and a revised facia. With an engine capacity of 6,230 the V8 was also notably lighter, and produced around 200hp. For the Silver Cloud III/S3 models introduced in October 1962, quickly distinguishable by four headlamps, the specification remained unchanged except for another increase of around 20hp, which lifted the top speed to 115mph. Showing a mere 87,000 miles recorded from new (believed correct), this lovely stylish Rolls spent a number of years in the US before being repatriated to the UK in the last few years, during which time we are told no more than 1000 miles have been covered. She has enjoyed a recent service by specialists Silver Lady, totalling £1617, and has covered a nominal mileage since. The vendor informs us that in addition attention has been given to the webasto roof and door trims, also the carpets have been replaced, as has the headlining. A great opportunity to buy one of the great British motor cars of the last century.

1919 Austin 20 Coupe Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: P48757

Estimate: £12,000- £15,000

General Manager of the Wolseley Sheep Shearing Machine Company, Herbert Austin set the Birmingham firm on the road to motor manufacture in 1896 when he designed its first automobile, a twin-cylinder tri-car. The first production Wolseley though, was four-wheeled and, like Austin’s 1896 prototype, carried its singlecylinder engine horizontally. Wolseley’s directors did not share Austin’s belief in the horizontal engine’s virtues however, and he departed in 1905 to set up his own company at nearby Longbridge. Somewhat surprisingly perhaps, the first Austin cars were powered by conventional inline fours with side valves arranged in ‘Thead’ fashion. During The Great War, Austin manufactured munitions and expanded greatly as a result, employing more than 22,000 workers by the cessation of hostilities in 1918. When civilian production recommenced it was with a single 20hp model, influenced by the six-cylinder Hudson - one of America’s most advanced designs - that Herbert Austin has used during the war. Derived from that of the pre-war 20hp model but enlarged to 3,620cc, the four-cylinder sidevalve engine powered Austin commercials and a tractor as well as its passenger cars. A detachable cylinder head was used and the motor was built in unit with the gearbox, which featured a central change lever. Of 12’ 6” wheelbase, the chassis was able to accommodate the largest bodies. This wonderful 1919 Austin 20 was believed to be the car of a New Zealand Diplomot , with the V5C stating it was registered overseas new. First imported to the UK in 1989 this delightful 3600cc 20 is fitted with its original blue and black Austin body- which is unrestored and original. The engine was subject to a rebuild in 2008 including new white metal bearings, oil-pump and valve stems and has covered less than 500 miles since. Coming from long term ownership this wonderful 4 cylinder coupe is ready to be used and enjoyed by its next custodian.

Classic car collectors and investors need the latest tax, accounting and financial advice; Blick Rothenberg LLP is here to provide it. Picture credit: Octane Magazine/charliemagee.com

Blick Rothenberg has a reputation for advising high net worth individuals, and owners of classic and high performance cars, on the tax advantages and implications of investing in such vehicles. For more than 30 years the firm has also advised F1 teams, team principals and world championship drivers as well as other branches of motorsport. “Investing in cars, if done correctly, can be extremely tax efficient as capital growth is free of Capital Gains Tax. If an investor is not domiciled in the UK, inward investment can be arranged so that business funding is not treated as a remittance of taxable foreign income.� - Caroline Le Jeune, Tax Partner. Blick Rothenberg is geared towards looking at the world of classic cars and the changing face of F1 and motorsport, and has a team of partners who are dedicated to providing a full service operation. The firm is also an independent member of BKR International, a leading association of independent accounting firms with more than 500 locations throughout the world.

THE HOTEL

The Hotel de France faces the quiet, small and picturesque square of La Chartre- sur-le-Loir, and represents all the old traditions and values of French hospitality, cooking and comfort that used to be the norm. The hotel has an attractive garden and heated swimming pool which face onto the Loir itself. The bedrooms have been recently renovated to a sophisticated and high standard.

Those who appreciate good wine will be pleased to know that the hotel is in the centre of the Vallée du Loir region, with such well known wines as Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir, both of which will be sampled!

For lovers of motor racing and period cars, it is perhaps the most famous motoring hotel in France. Soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the breath taking Le Mans 24 Hour race history and personalities displayed throughout the hotel and illustrating the racing heritage that includes four outright winners at the 24 Hour Race.
