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in writing to the Seller decline to sell the Lot, and the Seller shall be liable to Coys as though the Seller had withdrawn the lot from sale without Coys consent.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

1959 Lamborghini DL25 Tractor Registration Number: EU taxes paid

Chassis Number: 0535 Estimate: £8,000- £10,000

File Image

By now, even casual automotive enthusiasts are familiar with the story of how Ferruccio Lamborghini got involved in the car business in the 1960s. But for those who need a refresher, the tale tells us that Mr. Lamborghini had a bit of a spat with Enzo Ferrari that started with the former complaining about the quality of sports car the latter had provided. In response, Enzo arrogantly brushed Ferruccio aside telling him to stick to making tractors and leave sports cars to the experts… or something to that effect. Of course, this did not sit well with a fellow fiery Italian and Mr. Lamborghini set off to build a sports car that would beat Ferrari at his own game. Exactly how much of that is true we’ll never know for sure, but Lamborghini certainly did get Ferrari’s attention with cars like the exquisitely built 400GT and the jaw dropping Miura. But the details of Mr. Lamborghini’s tractor production are usually just a side note to the story. He was, in fact, a very successful industrialist and the tractors that bear his name are still in production today. The company was founded in 1948 as not just a manufacturer of tractors but also of military and industrial engines. Using a modified Morris Six engine as a basis, Lamborghini devised and patented a clever fuel atomizer that allowed the engine to be started on gasoline, and then switched over to run on diesel. This allowed his engines to be easily started in cold temperatures, negating the worry of hard-starting diesels and giving them a distinct competitive advantage over those with pure diesel engines. Lamborghini Trattori grew quickly, developing many specialized models as well as proprietary engines and power units, becoming one of the largest agricultural manufacturers in Italy. While separate from automotive operations, the tractor business has been steadily successful and remains in business, still producing specialized equipment for orchards, vineyards and other specialist farms around the world. This delightful 1959 Lamborghini DL 25 is equipped with a 2-cylinder diesel engine of Lamborghini’s own design that produces about 26 horsepower. It was restored in the body and mechanically works well. A very nice exemplar to have in every collection.

Lot 102

1988 Maserati Bi Turbo 250 Coupe – 29,700 miles from new Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: ZAM331B25JB180242

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000

There is no denying the Biturbo’s style and flair reflect the earliest cars to come from Bologna.’ – Mark Gillies, Autocar. Maserati’s mainstream model throughout the 1980s and the first series-production road car to employ a twin turbo-charged engine, the Biturbo debuted in two-door form 1982. Intended to challenge BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the luxury sporting saloon market, the Biturbo was of conventional, front engine/rear drive layout and featured all-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and an interior boasting sumptuous leather upholstery and plentiful wood veneer trim. The all-steel unitary chassis/body was styled in-house and built by Innocenti, part of the De Tomaso empire like Maserati. ZF five-speed manual and three-speed automatic were the two transmission options initially while a limited-slip differential came as standard. Produced initially with a 2.0-litre, three-valves-per-cylinder V6, the Biturbo gained 2.5-litre, 2.8-litre and 24-valve engines as the model range expanded throughout the 1980s to include four-door saloon and spyder variants. Having covered a mere 29,700 miles from new, this wonderful Zagato bodied BiTurbo is finished in ivory with a tan leather interior, - including suede door inserts. The car has been in a collection for the last 15 years and is offered today in very good condition, and fitted with its factory body kit and spoiler this is a Maserati for the collector, and has to be one of the lowest mileage examples available worldwide. Offered with a realistic reserve.

Lot 103

1979 Peugeot 104 ZL Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: 5721434

Estimate: £3,000- £5,000

NO RESERVE

The Peugeot 104 is a supermini motor car designed by Paolo Martin and produced by the French car manufacturer Peugeot between 1972 and 1988. It was the first model produced at the company’s Mulhouse plant. It was also the first new Peugeot introduced since 1955 not to be available with a diesel option. Launching as a 3 door coupe in 1974. The DVLA figures show that fewer than half a dozen are still registered on UK roads- making this Mandarin orange example a very rare model indeed. Fantastically original it was first registered in 1979 as a 1978 facelift model. The car has only had two owners from newthe first up until 2005, the second was the Stondon Museum collection. With UK V5 registration and an MoT until august, this little Peugeot comes complete with its original bill of sale, original sales brochure and spare keys.

Lot 104

c.1970 Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible Registration Number: TBA

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: No Reserve

File Image

In October 1967 the range was updated with the introduction at the London Motor Show of the Herald 13/60. The 13/60 was offered in saloon, convertible and estate-bodied versions. The sun-roof remained available for the saloon as an optional extra rather than a standard feature. The front end was restyled using a bonnet similar to the Triumph Vitesse’s and the interior substantially revised though still featuring the wooden dashboard. Interior space was improved by recessing a rear armrest in each side panel. The engine was enlarged to 1296 cc, essentially the unit employed since 1965 in the Triumph 1300, fitted with a Stromberg CD150 carburettor, offering 61 bhp (45 kW) and much improved performance. In this form (though the 1200 saloon was sold alongside it until the end of 1970) the Herald Saloon lasted until December 1970 and the Convertible and Estate until May 1971, by which time, severely outdated in style if not performance, it had already outlived the introduction of the Triumph 1300 Saloon, the car designed to replace it and was still selling reasonably well but, because of its labour-intensive method of construction, selling at a loss. This Herald 13/60 Convertible, which has been acquired by the current vendor as part of a recent property purchase, is ripe for restoration. Heralds are beautifully simple to work on, and offer a great prospect for the budding classic car restorer.

Lot 105

1973 Range Rover Classic Registration Number: GU6 8QW

Chassis Number: 35505697B

Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000

In late 1963 Rover’s director and general manager, A.B. Smith, asked Bernard Jackman to come and talk about ‘breaks’. Wondering slightly about the spelling, Jackman drove to Solihull, and was offered the job of Rover production director. “From that moment on, I’ve been Rover hook, line and sinker. At least until the last two years when I’ve had to get used to being Rover-Triumph and not just Rover.” He then went on to become Managing Director. Bernard Jackman was responsible for putting the V8 engine into production.“It was one of the smoothest jobs we ever had, for it was a brilliantly designed engine from a manufacturing point of view. Its assembly costs are much less than for the four cylinder engine, and its material costs are not very much more.” The Range Rover Classic is a 4x4 luxury SUV built by British car maker Land Rover from 1970 to 1996. It was available only in a 2-door body style until 1981, after which a 4 door became available. It was the first generation of vehicles produced under the Range Rover name. For most of its history it was known simply as the “Range Rover”; Land Rover coined the term “Range Rover Classic” for the brief period the model was built alongside its P38A successor, and applied the name retroactively to all first-generation Range Rovers. This wonderful iconic example is presented in traditional Lincoln Green with beige and palomino interior. The car has undergone a full body off restoration, including genuine Land Rover old stock rear quarter panels and front wings. It has been restored to a very high standard, as close as possible to the original Range Rover specification. Its V8 3528 litre engine still pulls very well with that unmistakable V8 growl as it accelerates. These were built to be practical farm vehicles combining luxury also, which back in the 1970s was a revelation. This is no exception and is used regularly by the present owner. It also comes with its original owner’s manual and sales brochure. A great opportunity to buy into one of the best of British 4X4 ever made and still revered the world over. 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.

Lot 106

1969 Pontiac Firebird 350 Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: 223679N111969

Estimate: 18,000 - £20,000

Capitalising on the arrival of its new V8 engine in 1955, General Motors’ Pontiac division reinvented itself for 1960s, adopting a sporting, youthful image promoted by a series of evocatively named high-performance models: Bonneville, GTO, Grand Prix, Firebird and Trans Am. Such was the success of this policy that Pontiac occupied third place in the US auto sales chart for most of the decade. Effectively an up-market Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac’s Firebird was introduced in February 1967 using the same bodyshell as its Chevrolet counterpart but readily distinguishable by its divided front grille. Engines ranged from a 230ci (3.8-litre) overhead-cam six to a 400ci (6.6-litre) 325bhp V8. Two body styles were offered: a two-door hardtop coupé and similar convertible, while the Firebird could be ordered with any of the Tempest or GTO power-trains and a variety of ‘regular production option’ (RPO) combinations that effectively extended the range to five models in total. Having been introduced mid-way through the 1967 model year, the Firebird went into 1968 altered only in detail before being more extensively restyled towards the end of the year in line with changes made to the Camaro. In addition to the base-level six, RPO engine packages comprised two 350ci (5.7-litre) V8s and a trio of 400ci units of varying power outputs. This Firebird offered today is a 2-owner from new car supported by a full history and even its original bill of sale. Starting life with the Greaves family in New York the car was imported to the UK on 12th July 1982. With 54,400 strictly dry miles on the clock the car is still largely in original condition, even with its original factory fitted tyres. Having been wax-oiled when new and stored in a heated garage for most of its life, the car is rust free, runs very smoothly and the interior is described as being ‘like new’. What better way to bring in the warm season than with this Classic American cruiser.

Lot 107

1968 Porsche 912 Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: 12803890

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. More than 30,000 were eventually built. Finished in Polo Red, this example can only be described as being in excellent general condition. Restored in the mid 90’s it has formed part of a museum display since 1995. With a recent carburettor rebuild and a fresh oil change this charming little 912 runs and drives as it should, with a smooth and good synchromesh the car retains the crisp handling and exciting driving experience that it had when new. With tinted glass and optional driving lamps this delightful example will not disappoint.

Lot 108

1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider Coachwork by Touring Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: AR191872

Estimate: £50,000- £60,000

Introduced in 1962, the 106-Series ‘2600’ range was a direct replacement for the preceding 102-Series ‘2000’ cars. Carrozzeria Touring and Bertone were responsible for the 2600 Spider and Sprint Coupé respectively; both of which looked like their 2000 predecessors. The latter’s chassis design and body styles were retained, with minor revisions and improvements, but in place of the old, long-stroke, 2.0-litre four was a new, 2,584cc, twin-cam six-cylinder engine clearly descended from that of the immensely successful Giulietta. A maximum output of 145bhp was claimed for this unit when installed in the Sprint coupé and Spider, good enough for a top speed of around 125mph. Cars Illustrated magazine reckoned this magnificent power unit ‘one of the smoothest, quietest running sixes, irrespective of the speed at which it is running, in our experience.’ Rarest of these two high-performance variants was the Spider, a total of only 2,255 being produced between 1962 and 1965. Today this rare and hitherto under-appreciated model is becoming increasingly sought after by discerning Alfisti. This right-hand-drive Touring bodied 2600 is finished in classic red over a black interior and was imported to the UK in 1963. Most recently a new hood has been fitted. Mechanically both engine and transmission are in good order, with the splendid 6-cylinder engine allowing this Alfa Romeo plenty of power to keep up with modern day traffic. The carburettors have been converted from Solex to Webers. A wonderful Italian Spider, that should offer the next owner much enjoyment and would make the perfect car to participate in a number of rallies and events, offered with a realistic reserve.

Lot 109

1987 BMW E30 M3 Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: WBSAK010402190573

Estimate: £40,000 - £55,000

The M3 debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1985 with deliveries of this exclusively left-hand drive model commencing a little over one year later. Magazine road tests were soon reporting top speeds of circa 140mph (225km/h) and a 0-60mph (0-97km/h) time of around 7 seconds, highly respectable figures even by today’s standards. Although it looked pretty much like a standard E30 3-Series from a distance, the M3 shared only the bonnet with its less-exotic sibling. The most obvious difference was the wider front and rear wings while only the most observant would have noticed the more steeply raked rear window and raised boot, changes made in the interests of aerodynamic efficiency. Necessary chassis improvements included lowered and stiffened suspension, wider wheels, fivestud hubs, ventilated front brake discs, ABS and a limited-slip differential as standard. The gearbox was a five-speed close-ratio Getrag. This stunning M3 comes in a ‘Jet Black’ exterior paint and a ‘Hounds Tooth’ interior. Delivered new to Germany it has been meticulously looked after and preserved throughout its life arriving in the UK last year with its most recent owner. With just over 50,000 mostly dry miles on the clock, the car is described as being in excellent condition and as well as being a strong investment financially, this is a car you can drive everyday, as comfortable on the racetrack as it is on the road.

Lot 110

1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Series 1 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000

The Silver Shadow, and its mechanically identical twin the Bentley T, were manufactured from 1965 to 1980 as a direct challenge to claims that the manufacturer was no longer responsive to modern automobile customers. The Silver Shadow line went on to become the best selling model of RollsRoyce vehicles, spawning a line of 2-door and 4-door saloons as well as a convertible that have become classics. To distinguish the new line of cars, Rolls-Royce’s chief engineer, John Polwhele Blatchley, fashioned the Silver Shadow to have a single bow design that reduced the width and length of the car while increasing space for passengers and their luggage. To further modernize the line, disc brakes and independent rear suspension were integrated and a 172bhp, 6.2l V8 engine was included in the original models. By 1970, the engines were uprated to a 189 hp 6.75 L V8. By far the most innovative aspect was the improved ride quality created by integrating the Citroen high-pressure hydraulic system that provided front and rear leveling abilities and put the Silver Shadow into a class above. Despatched from the works in March 1971, this delightful early Silver Shadow is finished in the classic combination of British Racing Green with a beige leather interior, and pleasingly features the obligatory lambswool overrugs. With just 3 owners from new, and the last owner since 1998, this Shadow is in excellent condition in all respects, and is offered with a history file, valid MoT to February 2017, and UK V5 document. Thankfully Silver Shadows are now being recognised within the Rolls Royce fraternity as being the ground-breaking luxury saloon cars for which they were always intended. This example is one of the nicest Coys have seen, and offers excellent value for money, with very good prospects for future investment potential.

1975 Iso Lele - one of only 55 Right Hand Drive examples Produced worldwide Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 5002640

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000

As a prototype, the Iso Rivolta Lele debuted at the 1969 New York International Auto Show. It was a 2+2 configuration that filled the gap between the two seater Grifo and the four door Fidia. The ‘standard’ Lele also used the Corvette 327ci V8 with either a manual or automatic transmission. Giugiaro of Bertone styled the Lele, naturally. Based on what came later, therefore, the Iso Lele can rightly be termed today as an act of vision. It resulted from a promise that Piero Rivolta, son of Iso founder Renzo Rivolta, made to his wife, for whom the Lele was named, that Iso would be a full-line car company.

Even among Italo-exotica, the Lele is an incredible rarity. A total of 285 were built from 1970 through 1974, with a mere 45 having been produced in Right Hand Drive configuration. It is believed that only around half of those Right hand drive cars survive today. Registered on 27th January 1975, and finished in the classic combination of Rosso with a Tan/Nero leather interior, this very rare survivor is one of the last Lele’s produced by ISO. This particular Iso was in the custodianship of an Isle of Wight resident for almost 20 years, and dry stored for much of this time, during which only approximately 1000 miles were covered. The Lele has recently enjoyed a thorough program of recommissioning by its current owner, a hugely enthusiastic UK-based Iso enthusiast and collector.

The engine received a service with new fluids, and the fitting of a new fuel pump. To improve running and reliability the distributor was uprated to a new electronic unit. The rear exhaust sections were deemed to be substandard, and so were renewed. The suspension was also attended to, with the fitting of new shock absorbers, new rear springs and new track rod ends. As a finishing touch the wheels have been refurbished. Now running and driving as it should, and offered with its UK V5 document and current MoT certificate, this is a fantastic opportunity to find yourself behind the wheel of a very rare and striking GT car of the 1970s.

1993 Lancia Delta Evo II Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: ZLA831AB000583191

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,00

Presented in June 1993, the second Evolution version of the Delta HF Integrale featured an updated version of the 2-litre 16-valve turbo engine which produced more power, as well as a three-way catalyst and Lambda probe. The 1993 Integrale received a cosmetic and functional facelift that included new 16” light alloy rims with ZR 16 tyres, also body coloured roof moulding to underline the connection between the roof and the solar control windows. The outside was sharpened up with an aluminium fuel cap, air-intake grilles on the front mudguards, and a red painted cylinder head. The standard Recaro seats were upholstered in Alacantara with diagonal stitching. This fabulous example is presented in Rossa Red with beige interior and is in excellent order throughout. The stunning paintwork compliments the rugged looks of this thrilling left hand drive Italian sports car which lit up the world of Rallying back in the 1990s with numerous wins at the hands of some of the most famous names in the sport. The car comes with it’s original manuals and owners handbook. These are rare cars which are highly sought after and this example is in fabulous condition. An opportunity not to be missed!

1987 Maserati Bi Turbo 250 Coupe Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: ZAM331B25HB180023 Estimate £8,000 - £12,000

The all-steel unitary chassis/body was styled in-house and built by Innocenti, part of the De Tomaso empire like Maserati. ZF five-speed manual and three-speed automatic were the two transmission options, while a limited-slip differential came as standard. Produced initially with a 2-litre, three-valves-per-cylinder, 90-degree V6, the Biturbo gained 2.5-litre, 2.8-litre and four-valves-per-cylinder engines as the model range expanded throughout the 1980s to include four-door saloon and opentop spyder variants. The 2.5-litre unit was the first addition to the range of engines and like the 2.0-litre original was an all-alloy, two-cam V6 with three valves per cylinder, the two inlets being different sizes to promote efficient cylinder filling over a wide rev range. Turbo lag, a not uncommon problem with this form of forced induction, was addressed by using two small IHI turbochargers rather than a single large one, fed by a solitary Weber carburettor. In this form the Biturbo engine produced 192bhp (DIN) and 220lb/ft of torque, figures good enough for a top speed in excess of 130mph. The Zagato-bodied Biturbo on offer here is finished in ivory and is fitted with its original typically luxurious Maserati interior with a gold clock. Offered with history from 1994- 2015 and UK V5 registration it certainly offers its new custodian a great entry into Maserati ownership and is undoubtedly a future classic from the Trident marque.

1960 Moto Guzzi Galletto 192cc Registration Number: Italian Registered

Chassis Number: GQD21

Estimate £4,000 - £5,000

Moto Guzzi’s Galletto offered the superior handling qualities of a true motorcycle. For the engine Guzzi kept with tradition, specifying an overhead-valve, air-cooled ‘flat single’ with outside flywheel. The frame consisted of a tubular steel spine combined with sheet metal pressings, a leading-link front fork and single-sided rear swinging-arm. Launched in March 1950 in 160cc/three-speed form, the Galletto was upgraded to 175cc and four speeds in 1952 and then to 192cc in 1954. The Galletto on sale today was restored in the 2007 and has since remained in a private Italian collection. Alongside the Vespa and the Lambretta , the Galletto is one of the most iconic Italian Classic Scooter, arguably this example is the best on the market today. Ready for summer fun.

2000 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SCAZK28E8YCH68052

Estimate: £90,000 - £105,000

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.

1964 Gordon-Keeble Coupe - One of only 99 made Registration Number: German Registered

Chassis Number: C36F10047

Estimate: £70,000 - £80,000

Produced between 1964 and 1966, the Gordon-Keeble was one of a select band of 1960s Grandes Routières that combined British chassis engineering with American horsepower and Italian style. Designed by John Gordon, lately of Peerless, and produced in collaboration with garage owner Jim Keeble, the car featured a spaceframe chassis with independent front suspension, De Dion rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes. Styled by the youthful Giorgetto Giugiaro, then at Carrozzeria Bertone, its elegant glassfibre bodywork was manufactured in England by Williams & Pritchard, one of the foremost firms specialising in this form of construction. A 327ci (5.4-litre) Chevrolet V8 engine provided effortless cruising and a top speed in the region of 140mph. Amazingly, the car went from drawing board to finished prototype in just four months. The first Gordon GT was presented on Bertone’s stand at the Geneva Motor Show in 1960 where it caused a sensation. Unusually for a prototype, the car was tested by The Autocar magazine, which declared it ‘the most electrifying vehicle we ever tested’. With a 0-60mph time of six seconds and ‘the ton’ coming up just ten seconds later, the 140mph Gordon GT was one of the fastest road vehicles of its day. John Gordon took the prototype to Detroit where an agreement was reached with Chevrolet for the supply of engines to the British company. Actual production though, was still some way off and by the time the renamed Gordon-Keeble went on sale in 1964, its specification and performance were no longer so unusual. Nevertheless, these ingredients should have been the recipe for guaranteed success but the company failed to get its pricing right and production ceased after little more than a year. A prolonged strike at Adwest, makers of the steering box, and resulting delays in component deliveries was another contributing factor in Gordon-Keeble’s demise. A brief revival saw a few more cars assembled by the successor company but when finally the end came, only 99 cars, all righthand drive, had been produced. (A 100th was assembled from spares some time later). It is estimated that all but a tiny handful survive. Today the stylish Gordon-Keeble remains a fascinating ‘might-have-been’ that can only become increasingly collectible.

The car on offer today was owned by an Astronomer from Cheshire, and later acquired by Michael Erik Mak, a Hong-Kong business man who decided to corner the market in Gordon Keebles. Chassis 36 was purchased by the current vendor in 2003, after a restoration which involved both Ernie Knott and Ivan Dutton – a world class Bugatti restorer. The car on offer today can only be described as in excellent condition and now has to be arguably the finest example available anywhere worldwide. Fitted with the desirable manual gearbox, and with over £100,000 spent, the car has recently been presented at Cartier and Goodwood, and is offered with FIVA papers. Appearing as it did back at the launch in 1960, this is a true collector’s piece with an exacting restoration to the highest detail.

1988 Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ93ZJS020118

Estimate: £110,000 - £130,000

The 930 itself is a rare car. From 1978-1989 less than 15,000 cars were built over an 11-year period. By modern Porsche standards, that’s not a lot of cars at all. And the Cabriolet is, of course, even more rare. It was introduced in February 1987, remaining on sale (and, with the Targa, outliving the original Coupe) until July 1989. Less than 3,000 were built over the three-year period, with the vast majority of them going to the US and Canada. It’s suggested that less than 650 cars were actually sent to Europe. In 1988, 242 Cabriolets were produced for Europe, compared to 677 Coupes and a meagre 136 Targas. That shows what a find this model is: one of 242 1988-build cars across the whole of Europe. Research would show how many still remain, but you can bet it isn’t 242. 930s are becoming cherished cars now, used less and less as age and historical relevance start to factor heavily on owners’ minds. 930 Cabriolets are even thinner on the ground. This, then, is a rare opportunity indeed: the chance to buy a genuine 930 Cabriolet. Finished in Black with a matching Black leather interior, this original German 911 Turbo (930) Cabriolet is one of only 242 units produced. The car has been subject to extensive restoration work, yet is still showing only 64000 recorded kilometres from new. As such we are told the 930 is both mechanically and cosmetically in excellent condition. Fitted with wider RUF wheels (9 inch at the front and 10 inch for the rear), in addition to a Momo steering wheel and sports exhaust, this car both looks and sounds incredible. Inside the 930 is fitted with a Porsche Classic Radio Navigation, usefully with interfaces for external music sources and Bluetooth. This 930 Cabriolet is a great example of one of the most special of all variants of the 911.

1959 Jaguar 3.4l XK150 – 39,000 miles from new Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: S827284

Estimate: £100,000-£120,00

The bleak years after 1945 were, not surprisingly, an era when great sports cars were somewhat thin on the ground; a shining exception was the mighty Jaguar XK series, yet another product of the flawless stylists eye (to say nothing of the astute business brain) of Sir William Lyons. Unarguably one of the most elegant sports cars of all time, the XK120 used the superb twin-cam six cylinder engine to provide- 120mph performance and acceleration to suit the most demanding tastes. The series evolved further with the XK140 and ended finally with the most refined of all the models, the XK150.

A mere 549 of these cars were manufactured for the home market between 1957 and 1961 and the XK150 was the first to carry Dunlop disc brakes as standard following their lengthy development on Jaguar sports-racing cars. Launched in 1957, Jaguar’s XK150 was the third and final iteration of XK range and considered by many to be the best driving model, not to mention the most comfortable especially in terms of leg-room! The wonderful original UK right hand drive example on offer here today has been in its current ownership for an astonishing 24 years. Over these years #S827284 has received sparing yet regular use on fun countryside lanes and has seen numerous classic car events. Recorded and verified by the 26 MOT certificates that can be found in the history file, the car has travelled a mere 16,000 miles since 1976 and its current odometer reading is an impressively low figure of 39,838.

#S827284 has undergone a body-off restoration and included in the history file are bills, invoices and photos showing every stage. The body, chassis, interior and paint are all described by the vendor to be in excellent condition throughout. Very recently the car has been fitted with a completely new mohair convertible roof that has been beautifully lined in beige. The coachwork is finished in Ivory with complementing red leather interior that has also recently been recently re-trimmed. While this is a largely original car which can be seen by its matching numbers low-mileage engine and original spinners, where necessary the cars bright work has been either re-chromed or replaced. As a pre-1960 car, this XK150 is actually MoT exempt, however as a testament to the mentality of the owner, and how well the car has been looked after, this car comes provided with a new MoT due to expire in April 2017. Also included in the cars history file is the original UK Log book, multiple old V5 log books, and detailed information of further restoration work that was undertaken in 1976. We are proud to be offering this is a very special XK150 car that must have one of the best documented histories of any jaguar that we have sold in a long time. The car has been continually serviced and looked after by a motoring engineer who is a close friend of the vendor. Exceptional.

1937 Fiat Topolino Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: 500-028474 Estimate: £20,000- £25,000

If they dished out Oscars for cuteness, the adorable Topolino would surely be head of the queue. A masterpiece of minimalist engineering, it was the brainchild of Fiat boss Senator Giovanni Agnelli who, in 1934, envisaged a small mass-produced ‘people’s car’ capable of carrying two people in comfort with 50kg (110 lbs) of luggage. The task was entrusted to 29-year-old Dante Giacosa, an ace engineer who had cut his teeth in Fiat’s aeronautical department and was now a fast rising star of the car division (by 1946 he was director of engineering for the whole company). Launched in 1936, the resulting Fiat 500 (quickly dubbed the ‘Topolino’ or ‘Little Mouse’) was an instant classic, bristling with space saving ingenuity and engineering subtlety. The coachwork was largely the work of chief stylist, Rudolfo Schaffer, and not only looked gorgeous but also endowed the car with great strength when bolted to Giacosa’s chassis. It was powered by a 569cc four-cylinder, side-valve, water-cooled engine mounted ahead of the front axle, with the radiator located behind the engine where it doubled as the interior heater. Although it developed a modest 13bhp, it could still reach 55mph and cover 50 miles on a single gallon of petrol. Transmission was via a four-speed gearbox, with independent front suspension, 12-volt electrics and Lockheed hydraulic brakes. Best of all was the roll-top canvas roof which turned it into almost a full convertible. Add in the low price of just 120 at launch and it’s no wonder that the little mouse was a huge success, selling over 120,000 units before a major redesign in 1948. Dating from 1937 (the second year of production), this is an original right-hand drive example. Surely one of the earliest surviving examples, and in superb condition all round this wonderful Topolino has been with the current vendor since 1992.The interior has been expertly re-trimmed in red leather while the folding-roof frame has an additional summer time accessory which acts as a sun shield. Charming. An insurance valuation from the Fiat Motor Club GB states that the car should be insured for 25,000. It comes with the aforementioned restoration file, and a variety of bills and receipts. The car has won numerous concours awards and trophies over the last 5 years. Being an early 500A model, it is also on the eligibility list for the prestigious Mille Miglia event. Altogether a delightful little car that is guaranteed to melt hearts and win friends everywhere it goes.

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

Chassis Number: 771021BW

Estimate: £17,000 - £20,000

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. 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.

1985 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV Registration Number: EU registered

Chassis Number: ZA9C005AOFLA12880

Estimate: £320,000 -£380,000

In 1966, Lamborghini created what many people consider to be the first supercar with the Miura. Instantly an icon, the mid-engine high-velocity coupe put the nascent carmaker on the map for groundbreaking design and performance. The Miura was always going to be a hard act to follow, so the extent to which its successor eclipsed the greatest of 1960s supercars came as something of a shock to all. The sensation of the 1971 Geneva Salon, the Countach was styled, like its predecessor, by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini. Drawing from his revolutionary Lancia Stratos Zero concept the year before, Gandini designed the Countach as an angular wedge with crisp lines and dramatic angles. The production version would not be seen for another two years, with deliveries commencing in 1974. Lamborghini employed the Miura’s fantastic four-cam V12 engine for the Countach, mounted longitudinally behind the cabin. To achieve optimum weight distribution, designer Paolo Stanzani placed the five-speed gearbox ahead of the engine between the seats, and the differential – driven by a shaft passing through the sump – at the rear. The result was a delightful gearchange and a better-balanced car than the Miura. When production began in 1974, the Countach sported an improved spaceframe chassis and the standard 4.0-liter, instead of the prototype’s 5.0-litre, engine. Even with the smaller engine producing ‘only’ 370bhp, the lightweight Countach could attain 170mph and, as one would expect, offered incredible roadholding and maneuverability. The first upgrades appeared in 1978 as the ‘LP400S’, with the addition of flared wheel arches to accommodate massive 345mm rear tires for increased grip and stability. A large rear aerofoil became available that further accentuated the outrageous styling of the Countach and was, unsurprisingly, the choice of most customers. In 1985 the engine design evolved again from the LP5000S, as it was bored and stroked to 5167 cc and given four valves per cylinder - quattrovalvole in Italian, hence the model’s name, Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole or 5000 QV in short. The carburetors were moved from the sides to the top of the engine for better breathing - unfortunately this created a hump on the engine deck, reducing the already poor rear visibility to almost nothing. Some body panels were also replaced by Kevlar. In later versions of the engine, the carburetors were replaced with fuel injection. Although this change was the most notable on the exterior, the most prominent change under the hood was the intro-

duction of fuel injection, with the Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, providing 414 bhp, rather than the six Weber carburetors providing 455 bhp used in the previous carbureted models. This 5000 QV comes in a striking and period colour of red with a complementary black interior. Delivered new to France, the car was meticulously looked after and driven sparingly before being imported to Japan in 2004 by the president of the Japanese Countach owners club. The car underwent a full restoration before being driven just 3000km between 2004 and 2015 when it was brought back to Europe by its most recent owner. Having covered just 37,629km from new this car is described as being in excellent condition throughout. One of just 610 QVs produced (one of 350 with 6 Weber Carburetors) and arguably ‘The’ poster car of the last forty years, there is no better time to buy into the Lamborghini legacy with this timeless classic.

1936 Bentley-Royce 8 Litre V12 Supercharged Special One Of Two Ever Made Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: B178DG

Estimate: £130,000 - £160,000

Built by Rob Burrell as the ultimate Bentley special with an 8 litre, V12 Rolls-Royce Phantom III supercharged engine at its heart. The chassis is from a 1936 Derby Bentley and with the engine hailing from 1936 making this car highly eligible for VSCC, BDC and many other historic events. It is possibly one of the most exciting historic hill climb and sprint cars available and it has successfully been campaigned with wins at Prescott, Shelsley Walsh, Brighton Speed trials and Santa Pod, with a notable win on the Isle of Man in 1998 where it won all four events. The car was prepared for Bonneville and a set of aerodynamic wings were made, however circumstances contrived to stop it heading out to the US. In recent years it has been prepared and raced by the present owner who has improved the aerodynamics and performance of the car and competed at Silverstone, Prescott and Bentley Drivers Club events. This stunning car gathers crowds wherever it appears and sounds superb as only an 8 litre supercharged V12 could! The V12 engine is a 24 plug, dry sump unit with modern additions being, a high power starter motor and electronic ignition. The supercharger is a Roots type which is a triple lobe made for the famous 1949 Bristol Brabazon aircraft and is possibly the biggest eligible supercharger of this type available. The car boasts two 2 ½ inch SU’s which are very rare and made to specific order by SU. This is the last and most developed Bentley-Royce special built by Rob Burrell and this unique car can be seen on page 131 of the book ‘Bentley Specials’ by Ray Roberts in its early stages.

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.

1961 Mercedes Benz 190SL Now eligible for the Mille Miglia Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid

Chassis Number: 121040 – 10 – 016740

Estimate: £95,000 - £110,000

Stylistically evocative of the mighty 300SL, but with a slightly less complex drive train, the 190SL remains among the most desirable roadsters of its era. The prototype was first shown at the 1954 New York Auto Show, with the 190SL produced between May 1955 and February 1963.

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.

The eye catching 190 SL we have on offer here today is finished in Papyrus White with Sable Black leather upholstery. # 016740 has spent recent years as part of a private collection in Greece where it resided for many years, and consequently has only 67,000 journey miles displayed on the Odometer. This Mercedes has also benefitted from a recent engine re-fresh, making it a highly usable and practical classic sports car for the summer months.

1956 MG A 1500 Roadster Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: HDC1311802

Estimate: £25,000- £28,000

By the time Le Mans came around the design of what would be known as the MGA had effectively been finalised, the race itself being little more than a useful opportunity to check that everything was as it should be. Conceived as replacement for the traditional T-Series MGs, the MGA combined a rigid chassis with the Austin-designed, 1,489cc B-Series engine that had first appeared in the ZA Magnette. Initially this engine produced 68bhp at 5,500rpm, though this was later raised to 72bhp at the same revs to further improve performance. Running gear was based on that of the TF, with independent front suspension and a live rear axle, but as far as its road manners were concerned, the far superior MGA was in an entirely different league. Clad in a stylish aerodynamic body and capable of topping 95mph, the MGA proved an instant hit, selling 13,000 units in its first full year of production. Attractive, stylish and guaranteed head-turner anywhere, the MGA is among the most desirable and driveable of classic post-war sports cars. They are also exceptionally user friendly, being cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, with ample spares and service back-up provided by an extensive network of specialists. Delivered new on Valentine ’s Day 1956, this 1500 Roadster has been owned by the current vendor for the last 10 years, this MGA roadster has been regularly maintained, providing its owners with enjoyable trouble-free motoring that has included trips to MG rallies in both the UK and Europe. It was the subject of a thorough restoration completed in 2000. An extremely detailed full photographic record accompanies the car, as does weather equipment including a tonneau and hood. Finished in red over black, this delightful UK delivered car would make a wonderful addition to any collection. Offered with UK V5 documentation, a Heritage trust certificate and a host of bills and receipts.

1984 Porsche 911 SC Slantnose Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ91ZBS102523

Estimate: £30,000-£40,000

In 1978, Porsche introduced the new version of the 911, called the ‘911SC’. Porsche reintroduced the SC designation for the first time since the 356SC (as distinguished from the race engined 356 Carrera). There was no Carrera version of the 911SC. It featured a 3.0-liter engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed 915 transmission. Originally power output was 180 bhp, later 188 bhp and then in 1981 it was increased to 204 bhp. In 1981 a Cabriolet concept car was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Not only was the car a true convertible, but it also featured four-wheel drive, although this was dropped in the production version. The first 911 Cabriolet debuted in late 1982, as a 1983 model. This was Porsche’s first cabriolet since the 356 of the mid-1960s. It proved very popular with 4,214 sold in its introductory year, despite its premium price relative to the open-top targa. Cabriolet versions of the 911 have been offered ever since. This 911 SC has had a full Slantnose conversion using original Porsche steel panels. The car has spent much of its life in Australia and it was here that it received its conversion at the world renowned ‘Porsche Special Wishes’ of Sydney. Servicing was carried out regularly by BWA Sydney, from which full documentation is available, and the car is described as being in good condition all round. An engine rebuild took place in 2006, since which the car has done minimal mileage and with a suspension upgrade with fully adjustable ultra high spec Bilstein dampers front and back as well as other specialist Porsche suspension geometry upgrades and steering overhaul in 2014 the car is reported to drive as new! A great looking car with character in abundance, this is a real head-turner and a whole lot of fun for the warmer weather.

2009 Ferrari 16M - one of only 37 UK RHD cars produced. 7,500 miles. Ferrari Classiche Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: ZFFKZ66C000168698

Estimate: £300,000 - £320,000

“That lopping the roof off the Scuderia hasn’t ruined the driving experience of this track-honed machine is pretty impressive. But the fact that it’s actually intensified it thanks to the extra noise and the buzz of fresh-air motoring – with no loss of poise – is simply astonishing.” Car Magazine, July 2009 “Don’t ask me what it’s like with the roof up. I have no idea. In fact I can barely tell you what it’s like with the side windows raised. All I can tell you is that the black canvas disappeared very neatly into a small space aft of the air deflector when we lowered it outside the famous brick archway in Maranello at 9 o’clock this morning, and unfurled itself with equal decorum in the same spot nine hours later.” Evo Magazine, July 2009 As a convertible version of the 430 Scuderia, and to commemorate Ferrari’s 16th victory in the Formula 1 Constructor’s World Championship in 2008, Ferrari unveiled the Scuderia Spider 16M at World Finals in Mugello. The engine produced 503bhp, and 350lb of torque, with a curb weight of 1440 kg. The chassis was stiffened to cope with the extra performance available and the car featured many carbon fibre parts as standard. Specially lightened front and rear bumpers (compared to the 430 Scuderia) were a further sign of the efforts Ferrari was putting into this convertible track car for the road. Unique 5-spoke forged wheels were produced for the 16M’s launch and helped to considerably reduce unsprung weight with larger front brakes and callipers added for extra stopping power. The result? Acceleration from 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 196mph. 499 vehicles were released beginning early 2009 and all were pre-sold to select clients. Needless to say, this is a very special Ferrari indeed. One of a mere 37 cars designated for the UK market, this stunning 16M, finished in the classic Ferrari combination of Rosso with a Nero hide interior, was delivered to its lucky first owner by UK distributor Sytner Group on 27th July 2009. This glorious open-topped Ferrari has only covered a handful of miles since being serviced by H.R. Owen in 2015, and now shows a mere 7,500 recorded miles from new. Offered with both keys, all relevant Ferrari books and manuals, a UK V5, UK MoT certificate and the all-important Ferrari Classiche, this is an immensely talented and rewarding Ferrari which also offers gilt-edged investment potential for the future.

1962 Rolls-Royce II Drophead Coupé Adaptation by H.J. Mulliner Formerly the property of Sir Felix Dennis Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: LSAE 281

Estimate: £330,000 - £360,000

Facing increasing competition from faster rivals and with development of its ageing six-cylinder engine nearing its end, Rolls-Royce turned to V8 power as the 1960s approached. The V8 was, of course, the predominant power unit in RollsRoyce’s most important export market - the USA - so it was only natural that the Crewe firm would study the best American designs - principally those of Chrysler and Cadillac - for inspiration. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their ‘Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo’s performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine.

Although wider and shorter than the ‘six’ it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce’s own fourspeed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering was standardised. Immensely successful both at home and abroad, the Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 remained in production until the autumn of 1962. Despite the popularity of Rolls-Royce’s ‘standard steel’ bodywork, discerning customers, in particular those who desired an open car, something not offered by the factory at this time, continued to patronise the handful of coachbuilding firms that remained in business after WW2. Associated exclusively with Rolls-Royce and Bentley after 1945, the London-based firm of H J Mulliner had been purchased by Rolls-Royce in 1959 and merged a few years later with already-owned Park Ward. H J Mulliner had been responsible for the first Bentley Continental, an outstanding design by any standard, and its twodoor bodies on both Rolls and Bentley chassis are recognised as among the era’s most elegant.

Available in both Rolls-Royce and Bentley forms, H J Mulliner’s two-door drophead coupé (Design No. 7504) was by far the most popular of these exclusive soft-tops, a total of 107 being built on the Cloud II/S2 standard-wheelbase chassis. Hand crafted style such as this attracted a hefty premium though, H J Mulliner’s convertible being priced some 30% above the standard Silver Cloud II four-door saloon, which was already one of the world’s most expensive cars. Despatched from the works on the 3rd August 1962, chassis 281 was purchased by H.R.Owen at the behest of the first owner, a Mr. Albert Stevenson of Long Beach, California. The Rolls set sail from London to Los Angeles on the M.S. Dalerdyk, to be supplied to Mr. Stevenson by Peter Satari Motors of Los Angeles.

Mr. Stevenson was clearly a gentleman of distinction, specifying his Silver Cloud in Porcelain White, with his personal monogram signwritten on the driver’s door, a gold coachline the length of the car, twin cocktail cabinets (containing each a flask and two cocktail glasses), electric windows and aerial, and sundym glass. Unfortunately Mr. Stevenson passed away after having owned the Cloud for only 6 months. The car was subsequently sold via an estate sale to the Alhadeff family of Los Angeles. The Alhadeffs owned the Cloud (known within the family as “Eleanor”) for 36 years in all, during which time it passed from father to mother, and from mother to daughter, who had the car transported to her home in Honolulu, Hawaii. The family looked after Eleanor well, in the file we have a thick sheaf of invoices dating back to the late 1970s. In the late 1990s the Rolls was repatriated to the UK, where it enjoyed a highly detailed restoration at the hands of well regarded Bentley and Rolls Royce restorer P.J.Fischer of London. The restoration bill ran to ten pages, and totalled c. £30,000, a significant amount of money a quarter of a century ago. The Cloud was finished in a very stylish and contemporary colour scheme of metallic grey with a biscuit leather interior, which still looks wonderful and complements the beautifully finished wood veneers perfectly. The Cloud then passed to its final owner, none other than Mr. Felix Dennis. Felix Dennis - cackling laugh, roistering humour, ribald in appetite, loyal and immensely generous – was one of the richest men in Britain, making his money in magazine publishing. He was unembarrassed by a decade of excess in the 1980s, though in later years, he wrote poetry and undertook reading tours like a rock star, travelling by jet or helicopter to gigs. Although he did not actually possess a driving license, Felix covered around 6,000 miles in the Rolls as a passenger, until his death in 2014. Since Felix’s passing the Cloud has benefitted from detailed service and repairs with specialist Michael Hibberd, to the tune of £8,000. Currently showing a mileage of 59,500 miles from new (which we believe to be correct), this glorious Rolls Royce is described as being in excellent condition in all respects. The Cloud will be supplied with its original Rolls Royce owners manuals, copies of build and test sheets, a thick file of invoices from the present day back to the mid 1970s, a total of fourteen UK MoT certificates (including the current MoT), and a UK V5 registration document. This is an extremely rare and desirable Rolls Royce, with unimpeachable provenance.

1974 Citroen SM Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: SBSCOOSC1748

Estimate: £33,000 - £38,000

Following its launch at the 1970 Geneva Show, the SM was praised for its power and its chassis, with its road holding benefiting from the engine’s positioning behind the front axle line. In 1972 the carburettors were replaced by Bosch fuel injection, raising output to 178bhp at 6,250rpm and 172lb.ft at 4,000rpm; the following year its engine capacity was increased to 2,965cc – using the same V6 that was to power Maserati’s new Merak – with its output rising again to 190bhp at 5,750rpm and 181lb.ft at 4,000rpm although performance remained much the same to the original car. It was at this time that automatic transmission became optional. The expensive SM, however, proved something of an anomaly: too fast for Citroen’s traditional customers but too quirky for traditional Maserati owners. As a result, when production ceased in 1975, only 12,024 had been built and this fastest and most striking of all Citroens is now very collectable. Finished in Braun Scarabee with a Tan Leather interior most notiably the SM on offer today is an ex-SM Club de France rally car. It was therefore fitted with many extras such as additional Cibie lights and fog lights, drop-link inertia seat belts and Roos resin alloy wheels. The engine has been rebuilt by an SM specialist (supported by a photo album), and is now said to be in excellent condition. Interestingly the car is fitted with the rare orange reversing lights which were only fitted to certain SMs. Supplied with a UK MoT and V5 document, this is very interesting example of highly capable sports GT car of the 1970s.

1998 Porsche 993 Turbo WLS II Registration Number: EU registered

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ99ZWS370534

Estimate: £200,000 - £250,000

The 993 is the company’s internal name for the version of the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between late 1993 and early 1998, replacing the 964. Its discontinuation marked the end of air-cooled Porsches.The turbo was the worlds fastest production car both in acceleration and deceleration (0-100km/h 4s and 100-0km/h 2.3s) and was the only production car equal to the performance of the legendary 959. The 993 Turbo coupe was released in 1995. It featured a new turbocharges engine displacing 3.6 liters producing 402 hp. Twin turbochargers and air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine management, redesigned cylinder heads and other modified engine internals were used. The 993 Turbo was the first Porsche Turbo with all wheel drive. The electronic engine management helped the Turbo to achieve fuel efficiency far superior to any of the previous production Turbos. In connection with two catalytic converters and an on-board-diagnostics-system including four oxygen-sensors, it also made the 993 Turbo the cleanest sports car at its time. The Turbo’s bodywork differs from the Carrera body by widened rear wheel arches (approximately 6 cm), redesigned front and rear bumper moldings, and a fixed rear wing housing the intercoolers. New 18-inch alloy wheels with weight-reducing hollow spokes were standard. In 1997, Porsche launched an improved and fully loaded version of the Turbo, the 993 Turbo S. This car featured every thinkable option including carbon fibre interior. Porsche fitted a redesigned and slightly larger rear spoiler and a 4 pipe exhaust system. Power was leveled up to WLS II level with 450 bhp. The 993 Turbo was also available with factory tuning called WLS (Werksleistungssteigerung for factory performance upgrade), WLS II an extra 42 bhp (450 bhp). Porsche produced 160 turbo S and 185 WLS II with the big S-package of which this is one. This stunning and rare WLS II Porsche, complete with full Carbon Outfit Package was delivered new to Germany in March 1998. After significant restoration and a full engine rebuild the car is described as being in ‘premium condition’, a great opportunity to own what is one of the rarest forms of the marque worldwide.

1955 BMW Isetta 250cc Registration Number: Hungarian Registered

Chassis Number: 408585

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000

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.

Chassis Number: 19611

Estimate: £125,000 - £145,000

Officially introduced at the Paris Salon in October 1975, the 308 GTB’s styling was created by Pininfarina. The stunning two seat coachwork was all new, but incorporated all of the old magic by blending aspects of the Dino 206/246 with the later 365 GT4/BB. Reminiscent of the Boxer was the dihedral groove at bumper level splitting top and bottom, the plunging nose and the sail panels reaching back to meet a shallower spoiler, while the conical side air intakes and recessed concave rear window were familiar from the Dino. The 308 GTB employed a tubular steel chassis with independent coil spring/wishbone suspension front and rear, complimented by anti-roll bars, adjustable dampers and powerful disc brakes. At its heart was a Formula One derived, all alloy, four camshaft 3.0 litre V8 engine, allied to a transversely mounted five-speed gearbox.

The very first 308 GTBs produced, until the end of 1976, were the fastest and best handling thanks to a fibreglass body that weighed substantially less than the steel coachwork which replaced it. These first cars also featured race-bred dry sump lubrication which again was replaced after a short period in favour of the less expensive wet sump. Rolling off the Ferrari production line in 1976, this rare fibreglass, dry sump car; (the only ones given Group 4 homologation for competition) chassis 19611, was delivered new to the UK and is one of a small handful of UK delivered cars with only 154 produced. The vendor informs us the car is in excellent condition in every respect and comes with a significant history file containing its original book pack/wallet, lots of original Ferrari Maranello correspondence and a large amount of invoices and receipts and comes with its original spare wheel and jack. The GTB Vetroresina is the most desirable version of Ferrari’s iconic 308 and with this being a genuine UK delivered right hand drive example making it particularly rare. A highly collectable and fine example of an early production 308 and a fantastic investment opportunity.

1973 Jensen Interceptor Series III Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid

Chassis Number: 136/8165

Estimate: ÂŁ19,000 - ÂŁ24,000

The Jensen Interceptors were hand-built at the Kelvin Way Factory, West Bromwich near Birmingham between 1966 and 1976. The Interceptor name had been used previously by Jensen for the Jensen Interceptor made between 1950 and 1957 at the Carters Green factory. Jensen had extensively used glass-reinforced plastic for the fabrication of body panels in the preceding two decades, but the new Interceptor saw a return to a steel body-shell. The body was designed by an outside firm, Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, rather than the in-house staff. The early bodies were built in Italy by Vignale, before Jensen took production in house, making some subtle body modifications. The Mark III, introduced in 1971, revised the front grille, headlamp finishers and bumper treatment again. It had GKN alloy wheels and air conditioning as standard and revised seats. It was divided into G-, H-, and J-series depending on the production year. The Interceptor may have taken some styling cues from the Brasinca Uirapuru, with a distinctive large, curving wrap-around rear window that doubled as a tailgate. Supplied new on 2nd February 1973 to Mr. Lance Dickenson of Sheffield by local dealer Endcliffe Motors, this delightfully original Interceptor has only just been repatriated into the UK, having been dry-stored in Australia for some 21 years. Pleasingly the Interceptor is supplied with original warranty claims, which in themselves make for interesting reading. Repairs under warranty in the first two years of ownership include the fitting of replacement exhaust silencer, attention to the electrics, door operation, and addressing sundry carburettor and starting issues. The underside of the car was under sealed from new. In conjunction with the Australian climate this has helped preserve the original state of the bodywork, which we are told shows no signs of repairs or rust.. Now showing a sensible 86,000 miles from new, this matching numbers car is one of the most original Interceptors available, even down to the magnesium spare wheel, which appears never to have been fitted. Finished in a stylish shade of silver with a red leather interior, and supplied with original build sheets and handbook, UK Nova certificate and Australian title document, this Interceptor is the perfect car for the purist.

1982 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible Coachwork by H J Mulliner Park Ward Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: SCAYD42A7CCX04226 Estimate: £26,000- £28,000

Rolls-Royce’s adoption of unitary construction for its new Silver Shadow and T-Series Bentley necessitated the reorganisation of in-house coachbuilder H J Mulliner, Park Ward to enable it to produce new designs on the Shadow floorpan. Recalling the firm’s glamorous Grands Routiers of pre-war days such as the Phantom II Continental, these final coachbuilt models were limited to just two, a two-door coupé or similar convertible, the former arriving in March 1966 and the latter in September the following year. Some of the frontal panels were shared with the standard four-door saloon, but otherwise the new bodyshells were unique, featuring a distinctive dipping upper wing line with parallel crease, and revised, more rounded posterior. Construction involved shuttling the bodyshells between the Crewe factory and MPW’s Willesden plant, a necessarily lengthy process that took all of 20 weeks for the saloon and slightly longer for the more complex convertible. These exclusive cars were hand built in the best traditions of British coachbuilding using only materials of the finest quality including Wilton carpeting, Connolly hide and burr walnut veneers, such painstaking attention to detail resulting in a price some 50% higher than that of the standard Silver Shadow. Nevertheless, demand for these more glamorous alternatives to the much more numerous four-door model was strong right from the start, a state of affairs that resulted in them being given their own model name - ‘Corniche’ - in March 1971. In Corniche form Rolls-Royce’s well-tried 6.7-litre V8 produced around 10% more power than standard and proved capable of propelling the car to a top speed in excess of 120mph with sportscar-beating acceleration to match. The model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and up-dated, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (Convertible) examples being delivered in 1995. This left-hand drive chassis number ‘04226’ was manufactured for the US market and first registered in 1982. Imported to the UK in June 2014, this delightful Corniche is said to drive beautifully – with “unmarked bodywork” and recent colonised red leather interior. With a recent service and brakes overhauled this wonderful Corniche would prove to be the perfect motor car for continental driving or the cote d’azur.

This 930 Turbo was delivered new to the UK before being shipped to Australia in the late 1980s, where it underwent a full K27 turbo upgrade, including a bigger turbo with in-cabin boost adjustment up to 2 bar. It also has a larger Porsche intercooler fitted, as well as a free-flow quad tip exhaust, all part of the original K27 upgrade pack. All work was carried out by the reputable Porsche specialists Willoughbys of Sydney. The car has spent much of its life under single, very careful ownership, covering just 40,000 miles between 1980 and 2011. In 2011 it received a full engine and gearbox rebuild before being shown across Australia, touring with the Porsche Owner’s Club. The initial owner was a true Porsche fanatic and because of this carried out much of the servicing himself to an exceptionally high standard. Its most recent owner had the car serviced by reputed Porsche master technicians Cavarco Motors of Glebe in Sydney. The car is shown with its second set of HRE 935 18-inch wheels, with polished outer tip (these 1-off wheels alone cost £11,000) also its original set of Foukes Turbo 930 rims. A unique and outrageously stylish 930 Turbo, this is a real head turner with the power to match.

Lot 136

1975 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Super Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: AR0034776 Estimate: £12,000- £15,000

The Alfa Romeo Giulia (Type 105) is a sports saloon which was produced by Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1962 to 1978. Alfa Romeo was one of the first manufacturers to put a powerful engine in a light-weight car for mainstream production. The Giulia weighed about 1,000 kilograms (2,205 lb). The car was equipped with a light alloy twin overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine, similar to that of the earlier Giulietta models range. Engine capacities offered were 1.3-litre (1,290 cc) or 1.6-litre (1,570 cc). Various configurations of carburettors and tuning produced power outputs from about 80 to about 110 bhp (55 to 75 kW). Almost all Giulias made had a 5-speed manual transmission. Giulias were noted for their lively performance among sedans of that era, especially considering the modest engine size. The styling was quite straight forward, but with a great amount of detail. The engine bay, cabin and boot were all square shaped. But the grill, the rooflines and details on the bonnet and boot made for an integrated design from bumper to bumper. Thanks to Alfa Romeo using a wind tunnel during its development, the Giulia was very aerodynamic with a drag coefficient of Cd=0.34, which was particularly low for a saloon of the era.

This particular Super is fitted with the 1300 engine. Finished in Magenta with complementary biscuit velour this delightful left hand drive example is in good condition. Owned by the present owner for two years, it is supplied with one year MoT and a handful of bills and receipts.

1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: TBC

Estimate: £9,000 - £10,000

Announced in the autumn of 1980 and typically Rolls-Royce in so far as it represented evolution rather than revolution, the Silver Spirit was based on the preceding Silver Shadow II to which it bore a distinct family resemblance. The Shadow’s floorpan was retained and powertrain differences were minimal, the Spirit’s chief advance over its immediate forebear being the heavily revised and improved type of rear suspension that had first appeared on the company’s two-door models. The styling too came in for revision, with a lower waistline, increased glass area and a more modern angular look; rectangular headlights graced the front of a Rolls-Royce for the first time and the oft-changed radiator became wider and squatter. Inside, the Crewe firm’s exemplary standards of equipment and finish were maintained, the most noticeable change being the adoption of separate rear seats and the reinstatement of folding picnic tables. This clean example comes in a light Green colour and is described as being in good condition. The dark maroon interior makes for a most civilised ride, one which few cars beat in terms of comfort.

2007 Mclaren SLR 722 Edition Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: WDD1993761M001373

Estimate: £330,000 – £380,000

The famed Mercedes McLaren SLR boasts 617bhp, 5,439cc SOHC supercharged V-8 engine, five-speed AMG Speedshift R automatic transmission with three manual modes, four-wheel independent coil-spring suspension, and four-wheel Sensotronic hydraulic disc brakes. This 722 Edition is, in every sense of the word, a step up. As two of the most successful teams in motorsport, people tend to take notice when Mercedes-Benz and McLaren work together. With each having an enviable racing record, few partnerships in the automotive world have been more fruitful. Mercedes-Benz had been supplying engines to McLaren in Formula One since the mid-1990s, and over the course of the following 15 years, McLaren F1 cars racked up numerous wins. Mercedes-Benz eventually acquired 40 percent of the McLaren Group, and at this time, the two companies produced their first road car together, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. When introduced in November 2003, the Ferrari Enzo was set to do battle with the Porsche Carrera GT, and accordingly, the car’s performance and 206mph top speed firmly put it into the upper echelon of supercars. Yet, there was much more to the story. Rather than creating an all-out, no-compromises supercar, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren decided to go a slightly different route. Instead of placing the engine in behind the cabin, the car had a front-mid-engine layout, with the engine sitting behind the front wheels and just ahead of the cabin. This not only helped to improve the SLR’s handling by giving it near-perfect weight distribution, but this also gave the car a rather spacious boot and cabin, which was not common in cars boasting such performance credentials. As it was supremely engineered and built to incredible standards at McLaren’s facilities in Woking, it boasted a very high level of fit and finish, the kind befitting of any Mercedes-Benz. To many, it was the perfect automobile for cruising across Europe at a very high speed. The 722 Edition SLR was introduced in 2006. The “722” refers to the victory by Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the starting number 722 (indicating a start time of 7.22am) at the Mille MIglia in 1955.

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.



The “722 Edition” includes an engine rated 650 PS (480 kW; 640 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 820 N·m at 4,000 rpm. 19-inch light-alloy wheels were used to reduce unsprung weight, while modifications were also made to the suspension, with a stiffer damper setup and lower ride height introduced for improved handling. Larger 390 mm (15 in) diameter front brakes and a revised front air dam and rear diffuser were also fitted. Exterior changes, other than the larger 19-inch black light-alloy wheels, include red “722” badging, harking back to the original 722 racer, and slightly different tail lights and headlamps. The SLR 722 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, 200 km/h (120 mph) in 10.2 seconds and 300 km/h (190 mph) in 27.6 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 337 km/h (209 mph) faster than the standard Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. One of just 150 ever produced this is a car for the Mercedes Benz cognoscenti. Its stunning looks and almost inconceivable amounts of power make it sure to go down as one of the stand-out models in Mercedes’ long and illustrious history. Presented in Crystal Antimony Grey with Black Leather & Alcantara seats, this 722 has covered just 13,000km from new. Described as being in excellent condition throughout one would struggle to find one of these special cars in better shape.

1961 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: P217188BW

Estimate: £25,000 – £30,000

The 2.4 saloon of 1955 had been a major step for Jaguar, marking as it did the change from a coachbuilt chassis to one of unitary construction; it was a necessary move, however, Jaguar being aware there was a strong market for a more compact saloon than the big Mk IX. Powered by a 2,482cc version of the superb twin cam straight six XK engine first seen in the XK120 (which had already achieved four Le Mans victories), the 2.4 offered luxury, performance and value for money. Using coil spring/wishbone front and semi-elliptic spring rear suspension, it possessed fine road manners and proved a great success, both on and off the track, particularly when the Mk I, as it subsequently became known, became available with the 3.4 litre engine in February 1957. It was in October 1959 that the Mk II version appeared, making a good car even better. Similar in appearance but with a much larger glass area, it boasted a wider rear track to improve roadholding together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and all round disc rather than drum brakes. Engine options included the 120bhp 2.4 litre, the 210bhp 3.4 litre and, for the first time the 220bhp 3,781cc unit of the Mk IX. This lovely 3.8 example finished in red with matching hide interior comes with the rare stainless steel sunroof and is fitted with the desirable Moss manual gearbox with overdrive. This example was restored in 2010 and still looks fantastic, having being maintained as it should at regular intervals . This iconic British sports cars made touring an exciting experience, this model is effortless to drive.

1983 Rolls-Royce Camargue Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SCAYJ0004CCH05963

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000

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

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


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

Lot 141

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

Chassis Number: VA 4085

Estimate: £130,000- £160,000

The Bentley 4-Litre was the old Cricklewood company’s swansong model before its absorption by Rolls-Royce. With the Depression biting, sales of the old 4½-Litre declining and its newest, 8-Litre model costing all of £1,850 in chassis-only form, Bentley Motors desperately needed a new smaller model to compete with Rolls-Royce’s successful 20/25hp. The result was the 4-Litre. At the Management Committee’s behest, and to W O’s disdain, the six-cylinder engine was designed by Ricardo, with overhead inlet/side exhaust valves and a claimed output of 120bhp at 4,000rpm. A double-drop chassis was adopted, closely based on that of the contemporary Bentley 8-Litre, and offered in two wheelbase lengths: 11’ 2” and 11’ 8”, both of which were shorter than the shortest of the two 8-Litre chassis available.

Although ‘W O’ did not like the Ricardo design (considering it difficult to tune) the fundamental soundness of the inletover-exhaust arrangement would be demonstrated after the war, engines of this configuration powering Bentley and Rolls-Royce motor cars up to 1959. The 4-Litre has been much maligned and is little understood, as very few were built. Because it was considered by some to be too heavy for its power, yet had the best chassis, gearbox and rear axle of all the Bentleys, many were converted very early on into 6½- and 8-litre specials. Not every one agreed. None other than Bentley boss Captain Woolf Barnato himself used an early 4-Litre as his personal transport, covering around 6,000 miles during 1931/32. Only 50 4-Litres were completed before the original Bentley company’s liquidation, of which only 12 are known to exist today, the ex-Barnato car, ‘GO 8477’, being one of them. Supplied new via Jack Barclay and Jack Olding, this charming Bentley 4-Litre was first owned by Major W C Gordon Black of Fife. ‘FG 7632’ was delivered to Major Gordon Black on 26th May 1932 and during his ownership covered approximately 30,000 miles, as verified by Bentley works records.

The history file confirms during the 1950’s VA 4085 had five short-term owners, mostly in the West Midlands, and was eventually sold in 1962 to the previous owner, Mr Philip Pardy of Epsom, who ran it until 1969. During this period Mr Pardy, a well-known Bentley enthusiast, prepared and drove his 4-Litre single-handed from Land’s End to John O’Groats in under 24 hours! The detailed record of this epic journey in May 1964 was published in the BDC Review in April 1965. By 1969 the Bentley was deemed to be in need of a restoration by Mr Pardy - however, the project effectively remained stalled for the next 30 years whist in his garage! The present owner purchased the car in 2000, on the clear understanding that this 4-Litre (unlike so many) would be restored to its original Cricklewood specification. Since 2001 the Bentley has been subject to a meticulous restoration taking over 12 years. This has included a major engine rebuild with new APR big-end pinch bolts, while the main bearings and big ends were recast utilising modern high-grade white metal. New rings were fitted to the original pistons and the cylinder block re-bored and sleeved. The rebuilt cylinder head was fitted with hardened inserts to accommodate modern fuels. A modified oil filtration supply was incorporated to suite modern oils. The engine is yet to be fully run in. The original 4-Litre radiator has been serviced and tested by a well-known Manchester specialist, and the radiator louvres operate automatically by means of Bentley’s patented thermostatic actuator. Ancillaries have been professionally restored including the AutoVac, ignition coils, dynamo, voltage regulator and water pump. All aluminium, the original Thrupp & Maberly coachbuilt body (number ‘5411’) was refurbished throughout, being bare-metal stripped, etch-primed and re-sprayed in black over the Bentley blue of the original 4-Litre radiator badge. The 20” wire wheels have been sprayed to match and all the original bearing grease caps and quick release nuts have been re-chromed. The original speedometer was professionally restored, re-calibrated and zeroed. The car has been rewired throughout and discreet amber flasher bulbs have been fitted at front and rear, as has a double stop light to the original ‘diver’s helmet’ rear lamps. A superb windscreen-mounted spotlight by Stephen Grebel has been fitted, and the Bosch headlights are double dipping with the correct lenses. Illuminated by the original recessed ground-glass lenses, the original black leather upholstered was re-Connollised and a new grey West of England roof lining professionally fitted, as was a customised set of new leather-bound matching Wilton woollen carpets. The two mahogany vanity units in the rear have been illuminated and refurbished and now boast matching crystal champagne flutes carrying the Bentley logo. A concealed tool rack in the boot lid has been equipped with period tools including a Vintage hand lamp and oilcan. Offered with current road fund licence and Swansea V5, and being one of only about a dozen 4-Litres still retaining their original chassis, body and engine, this would be an asset to any connoisseur of fine motor cars. Featured in Ray Roberts’ Bentley Specials and Special Bentleys Vol 2 (page 524) this superb example of the last of the Cricklewood-built models comes with a large history file containing bills; period photos; original factory blueprints; and copies of several articles written about it. It will not disappoint.

1974 Fiat 130 Coupe - one owner for 39 years Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 130BC 0003706

Estimate: £13,000 - £17,000

After its debut at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show, the Fiat 130 topped the Italian automaker’s line-up. It boasted such features as standard power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Hidden beneath its sharp, attention-grabbing lines was a choice of new overhead-camshaft V6 engines in either 2,866-cubic centimetre or 3,235-cubic centimetre form. The new V6 line was based on the 128 Type A powerplant, developed by noted Ferrari engine master, engineer Aurelio Lampredi. With its own Pininfarina-penned design on the inside and out, the 130 Coupé wowed at the 1971 Geneva Salon, proving it to be even more striking than the four-door saloon. It was a large coupé that featured a host of luxury features inside, like state-of-the-art fibre optics to light its instrument panel and switches. Just a hair under 4,300 examples of the 130 Coupé were built. This strikingly original example was delivered from new in an avantgarde combination of Silver with a Burnt Orange velour interior, and fitted with the rare and desirable 5 speed manual gearbox, a vast improvement over the sluggish 3 speed automatic gearbox supplied to most 130s. The 130 was in the possession of a northern Italian industrialist from 1976 until just last year. Recently imported into the UK from Monza by a London-based Italian car collector, the 130 was was driven directly from Italy to the UK without missing a beat. The Fiat has recently been recommissioned with a full service including all relevant belts, a new alternator, tyres, exhaust and replacement clutch cable. The original Cromadora wheels were also refurbished. Supplied with a UK MoT certificate and title document, in additional to Italian title, this is a very straight, original example of an exceptionally well built, refined, Italian GT car.

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 wellproportioned 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.

1989 Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet. 1 of 116 produced Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ93ZKS020144 Estimate: £150,000-£180,000

What set the 911 Turbo apart from its peers was the relaxed way this stupefying performance was delivered. Comparing the Turbo to similarly quick ‘he-man’ cars, such as the Holman & Moody-tuned Cobra 427 and the Ford GT40, Motor’s Roger Bell reckoned what made the Porsche so different was that it “hurls you forward with similar velocity but in an uncannily quiet and effortless way. To be shoved so hard in the back that you need high-back seats to keep your head on, yet neither to feel nor hear anything more than a muffled hum, is a very odd sensation indeed in a car.” The Turbo’s characteristic flared wheel arches and ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler had already been seen on the Carrera model, while the interior was the most luxurious yet in a 911, featuring leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows. For 1978, the Turbo’s engine was enlarged to 3.3 litres, gaining an inter-cooler in the process; power increased to 300bhp and the top speed of what was the fastest-accelerating road car of its day went up to 160mph. With an extensive and fully documented history this very tidy 930 turbo is finished in Guard’s Red with a black interior. Delivered new to Italy the car has covered 74,155km from new. Throughout its life the car has received consistent attention, both mechanically and aesthetically, including an engine overhaul and bodywork renewal. 1 of only 116 left hand drive manual Cabriolet’s made, here is a great opportunity to make a stable and stylish investment in the famous marquee.

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: 15.51978BW

Estimate: £18,000 - £25,000

Whilst the concept of the Jaguar E Type was without doubt one of the finest pieces of automotive design ever to be put into general production, one of the problems with its continued development was the inevitable weight gain. Throughout the 1960s ever more stringent safety legislation emanated from the USA and, as this market was a major breadwinner for Jaguar, it was perhaps unavoidable that the purity of the original design would be compromised to compete within it. Emissions legislation had forced the adoption of twin Stromberg carburettors on trans-Atlantic bound cars resulting in a reduction in power to 177bhp instead of the quoted 265bhp for European examples breathing through triple Webers. However, the balance was to be redressed with the introduction of the Series 3 model powered by Jaguar’s new 5.3-litre, overhead camshaft V12 developing 272bhp. This resulted in a top speed again in excess of 140mph with 0-100mph taking just 16 seconds, the fastest ever acceleration figures for the model. Revisions to the running gear included anti-dive geometry on the front suspension and ventilated disc brakes. Power steering was standard and flared wheel arches were incorporated to allow fitment of wider rubber to maintain grip. A deeper radiator aperture with chrome grille completed the restyle. With manual or automatic transmission options the Series 3 ensured the immortal E Type would survive into the new decade of the 1970s. This charming E-Type comes in a brown/ tan interior combination. An unusual colour in the modern day this combination was, as some will remember a real fashion of the early 70s. Presented in good condition in all respects the V12 E-type is the perfect cruiser and there’s even space for the children or a motoring dog.

1989 Jaguar XJS V12 Coupe Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: SAJJNAEWBBA152419 Estimate: £7,000- £9,000

Conceived as a comfortable and long-legged Grand Routière, rather than an outand-out sports car like the preceding E-Type, the XJ-S debuted at the 1976 Frankfurt Motor Show as a V12-powered coupé, with six-cylinder and soft-top versions following in the 1980s, the USA’s expected ban on open cars having failed to materialise. One of the most important developments in the evolution of the V12-powered XJ-S was the introduction of the HE (High Efficiency) engine in 1981. Incorporating a new design of cylinder head, this more fuelefficient unit enabled the top-of-the-range XJ-S to meet tighter worldwide emissions legislation. An automatic transmission model, this V12-engined XJ-S HE coupé has had a mere 5 owners from new. The current vendor has undertaken much recent work – the body was stripped to bare metal and resprayed in black metallic, the chassis was wax oiled and the car was mechanically overhauled. Having covered just 94,000 miles from new this must be one of the nicest examples of the V12 Coupe available on the market today.

1983 BMW R65 Special Hoske Registration Number: Italian Registered

The history of this motorbike began ina the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, Northern Italy, in the hands of the famous Italian Motorcycle test rider Paolo Bergamaschi, famous in Italy for his preparations BMW off-road motorcycles.. The history of this motorcycle brings us back to the late ‘50s, when the BMW officially decided to retire from racing, this decision triggered a multitude of private racers and outfitters, like German Hernst Hoske, to enter into the manufacturing industry producing mechanical parts. This wonderful Hoske special has most recently featured on the cover of the popular motorcycle Magazine ‘Rider’ in Italy and to the Italian motorcycle cognoscenti it represents a unique opportunity to purchase a bike created at such a colourful period of Italian motorcycle history.
