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in writing to the Seller decline to sell the Lot, and the Seller shall be liable to Coys as though the Seller had withdrawn the lot from sale without Coys consent.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

or impede the Auction, its conduct, or the sale of the Lot at Auction, Coys may in its sole discretion cancel the Auction or remove the Lot from the Auction, in which case it shall as soon as reasonably possible notify the Seller of its decision accordingly. 26.2 Upon receipt of Coys’ notice as set out in Condition 26.1, the Seller may by notice in writing to Coys elect to: (a) Re-enter the Lot into the next auction to be conducted by Coys in respect of which the Lot is a suitable lot (as judged by Coys in their reasonable opinion); or (b) Instruct Coys to sell the Lot by private treaty within 14 days of such Seller’s notice, as though the Lot was an unsold lot at Auction for the purposes of Condition 14.1; or (c) Cancel this contract without any payment or penalty, save that where the Auction catalogue had been printed prior to cancellation, Coys shall be entitled to retain any cataloguing fee paid by the Seller. 26.3 In the event that the Seller does not make any election in writing under Condition 26.2 within 14 days of receipt of Coys’ notice, the right of election shall irrevocably pass to Coys who may elect for one of the three courses of action set out in Condition 26.2. In case Coys elects to sell the Lot by private treaty, the 14 day sale period shall in this case run from the date of Coys’ election. 26.4 Any sale of the Lot under this Condition 26.2, whether at subsequent auction or by way of private treaty, shall be in accordance with these Conditions. 27. MISCELLANEOUS 27.1. The benefit and burden of the Conditions may not be assigned by the Seller or the Buyer without Coys’ prior agreement in writing. 27.2. If any Condition or any part of any Condition shall be held to be unenforceable or invalid that Condition shall be severed, and such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect the enforceability and validity of the remaining conditions or the remainder of the relevant condition. 27.3 These Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all previous drafts, agreements, arrangements, understandings and conventions between them, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this contract. 27.4 These Conditions may not be altered or varied unless with Coys consent in writing. 27.5 The Buyer and the Seller both acknowledge and warrant that in entering into this contract (and in the case of the Buyer, in bidding for any Lot) they do not rely and have not relied on any representations made by or on behalf of Coys, save where such representations have been confirmed or set out in writing signed by a partner of Coys. 27.6 No waiver of any rights arising under these Conditions shall be effective unless in writing. Any such waiver shall not be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach, whether of the same or any other provision. 27.7 This contract is made for the benefit of Coys, the Seller, and the Buyer, and save where the Buyer acts as agent for a named principal in accordance with Condition 16.2, is not intended to benefit or be enforceable by anyone else. For the avoidance of doubt, any rights otherwise arising under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 are expressly excluded. 27.8. The headings and numbering used in the Conditions are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation. 27.9 In the event of any of the terms above being incompatible one with another, the term most beneficial to Coys shall prevail.

Lot 116
The Property of a Gentleman
Alfa Romeo TZ1 - comprehensive set of original components Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000
The TZ1 was a very special competition car, one built in extremely limited numbers. Introduced at the Turin Auto Salon in 1962, it was built on a tubular chassis with a very sophisticated specification. The chassis is a dedicated tubular unit weighing just 125 pounds, ensuring that the TZ1 is a Giulia only in the loosest sense of the term. The specification is impressive, with independent suspension and disc brakes all around (inboard at the rear), aerodynamic Zagato Kamm tail bodywork, and Alfa Romeo’s venerable twin cam engine. With a weight of just 1459 pounds, the car was capable of 140mph. In the hands of privateers, the cars were incredibly successful, sweeping their class at Le Mans, Sebring, the Nurburgring, the Targa Florio, and the Coupe des Alpes. Just 120 examples were built, making them tremendously rare. Used to support the current vendor’s own racing TZ1, we are delighted to offer a comprehensive spares package which includes the following: Front bodywork ahead of the scuttle panel Full and correct twin spark engine (which we believe has been rebuilt but not fitted) Gearbox, propshaft and rear differential Front and rear suspension and radius arms Front and rear hubs, suspension springs and dampers Brake calipers and discs, and master cylinder Steering box Front seats We feel this is an excellent basis to build an authentic evocation of the iconic Alfa Romeo TZ1 for road or track use. All in all a fantastic prospect for the serious Alfa collector.
Lot 117
The Property of a Gentleman 1974 500 R Rinnovataa Registration Number: TBA
Chassis Number: 5193899
Estimate: £3,000 - £5,000
The last incarnation of the Fiat 500 was the R model. It had the same 594 cc engine of the Fiat 126, however, the power rating is the same as the L but at lower rpm (4000 instead of 4400) and with a bit more torque. The floor-pan was from either the ‘L’, or later, the new 126. It was also more comfortable, but more simply trimmed and equipped than before — the fuel gauge was omitted and only the low fuel indicator remained. The 500 R was also a stop-gap for Fiat prior to the launch of the Fiat 126. It was sold alongside the Fiat 126 for another two years before Fiat retired the 500. This charming example has been owned by a long term and serious Italian car collector for a number of years, during which much restoration work was undertaken. The car shows a mere 24,000 kilometres from new, which is believed to be correct. This delightful little car has been stored for the last few years and is now ready to be recommissioned and enjoyed to the full over the summer period.

The Property of a Gentleman
c.1970 Fiat 500 to Abarth specification – 71km since full restoration Registration Number: TBA
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000
After leaving Cisitalia in 1948, Austrian-born engineer Carlo Abarth set up as an independent in Turin, the home of the Italian auto industry. From producing induction and exhaust systems, Abarth branched out to performance kits, mainly for Fiat production cars. He later built a series of highly successful sports prototypes and limited-series production cars, many of which were produced in conjunction with Carrozzeria Zagato. An innovative concern with a sporting pedigree second to none, Abarth was taken over by Fiat in 1972. This brilliant little Fiat 500 enjoyed a huge amount of restoration and development work at the hands of legendary race tuner and restorer, Luigi Moreschi of Lombardy. The car was stripped back to a shell and rebuilt from scratch, with attention given to all areas. During the restoration a number of upgrades were performed; the engine was upgraded to Abarth specification, the suspension was lowered and stiffened, new driveshafts and a new exhaust system fitted. The interior was treated to new racing seats, and a new three spoke steering wheel fitted, as were correct Abarth wheels all round. Since being completed for a renowned collector and racer, a mere 71kms have been recorded. A great car for club event, sprints, or merely just to jump in and drive as fast as possible!

Lot 119
1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Veloce Spider “Round Tail” Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: AR1470540
Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000
The Register of RHD Veloces shows only 601 cars being manufactured (numbered 1470001 to 1470601. This car is numbered 1470540 – towards the end of the range and only 61 cars were made after this one. Of this number only about 60 remain on Britain’s roads. The only paperwork from the African period of ownership shows that the car was based in “Randburg”, a suburb of Johannesburg. The car was then imported from South Africa to England in early 1990. The history files include a vehicle export certificate signed by the South Africa police dated 18 January 1990 and quoting the correct chassis/engine numbers. The vehicle was imported by Mr. Joseph Pollock who lived in Linton, Cambridgeshire and the current owner purchased it from Mr Pollock on 3 May 2002. At this time the current MOT certificate shows mileage of approximately 85,000. Whilst this cannot be warranted, it appears reasonable for a 33 year old classic car, particularly that the car’s life in South Africa would have seen it remain in or around Johannesburg for most of its life. Soon after the current owner acquired the car, it was the subject of a major restoration, although the body was still in exceptional condition. The mechanics, body and the re- furbishment were attended to regardless of cost, the engine being totally stripped down and reassembled by a master technician from the local Mercedes Benz dealership, Stuart Smith. This included new pistons, all main bearings and valves. All the required mechanical and body parts were available and acquired for its restoration, including replacing suspension system parts. With the engine and suspension removed, the body was treated to a bare metal respray by Colin Taylor of Brighton Road, Southport. The steel road wheels were also totally refurbished at this time and fitted with new tyres. The interior was re-upholstered and re-carpeted to a very high standard by Phil Dixon of Southport Trimmers. The resultant historic and tax free vehicle must present as one of the best Veloce Round Tails in Britain. The car handles extremely well on the road and is a delight to drive. The bodywork and mechanics are faultless – a stunning example of this classic marque.

Lot 120
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.
Lot 121
1988 Maserati Bi Turbo 250 Coupe – 29,700 miles from new Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: ZAM331B25JB180242 Estimate £8,000 - £12,000
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. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Coys accepts no liability for the accuracy of these particulars.

Lot 122
2000 Bentley Azure Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: SCBZK23E4YCH62090
Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000
The Bentley Azure made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. It was based on the Continental R and Pininfarina assisted in the two year process of turning it into a full four door convertible. Pininfarina built the shell and soft-top at their factory in Italy and final assembly was then carried out at the Bentley factory in Crewe. The large size of the Azure and its curves allowed it to possess both presence and grace whilst comfortably seating four adults. Power came from the company’s dependable 6.75 litre V8, featuring a single intercooled Garrett turbocharger and produced in the region of 385 hp. With a 0-60mph time of 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 150mph, the Azure was a very quick car given its size and weight. The combination of power and refinement was a potent one and the Azure was an extremely exclusive car which was priced accordingly, buyers had to pay £230,000 to buy one new. In total less than 1500 cars were produced during the 8 years of production of the first generation cars. The Azure for sale here looks striking with its black bodywork and black interior, a look that really suits such an imposing car. In addition to the many standard features, this car has an array of additional optional extras including a Continental T style console with chrome starter button and aluminium gearshift, large oval exhaust, perforated leather seating, drilled alloy accelerator and brake pedals and mesh inserts on the front bumper and wings. With only 3 owners from new, a mere 35,000 miles on the clock and a welldocumented history, this is a fine example of a beautifully made Bentley that would be the ideal companion on open-top adventures whether they be at home or abroad. Private number plate available by separate negotiation.

Lot 123
1988 Porsche 911 Turbo Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZJS000119
Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000
The 911 traces its roots to sketches drawn by Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche in 1959. The Porsche 911 was developed as a more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356, the company’s first model. The new car made its public debut at the 1963Frankfurt Motor Show (German: Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung). The car was developed with the proof-of-concept twin-fan Type 745 engine, and the car presented at the auto show had a non-operational mockup of the production single-fan 901 engine, receiving a working one in February 1964. It originally was designated as the “Porsche 901” (901 being its internal project number). 82 cars were built as 901s. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. Internally, the cars’ part numbers carried on the prefix 901 for years. The Porsche 930 was a sports car built by Porsche between 1975 and 1989, known to the public as the 911 Turbo. It was the maker’s top-of-the-range 911 model for its entire production duration and at the time of its introduction the fastest production car available in Germany. Total output from the engine was 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp), much more than the standard Carrera. In order to ensure that the platform could make the most of the higher power output, a revised suspension, larger brakes and stronger gearbox became part of the package, although some consumers were unhappy with Porsche’s use of a 4-speed whilst a 5-speed manual was available in the “lesser” Carrera. A “whale tail” rear spoiler was installed to help vent more air to the engine and help create more downforce at the rear of the vehicle, and wider rear wheels with upgraded tires combined with flared wheelarches were added to increase the 911’s width and grip, making it more stable. This lovely example is finished in white with blue leather interior. Its condition really has to be seen to be believed – its mileage of 75,000 is genuine and the car comes with virtually all its MOTs and was last serviced in January 2016. During this service both drive belts were replaced as was the battery. This wonderful Turbo sports car is totally original in every respect, with no modifications whatsoever and comes with its original manuals. This is one of the best examples of this iconic 1980s “ yuppie” favourite that we have seen. Not to be missed.

1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO 1 Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: ZLA831AB000562931
Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000
Between 1987 and 1992, the Integrale utterly dominated its branch of motor sport, winning 46 rallies and six constructors’ championships outright. And to keep the rally car at the sharp end of the results table, the road car went through a number of iterations, each more potent than the last. As a road car, the Integrale is a truly joyful experience. Just like on the rally stages, its big rivalry in the early days came in the form of the Audi Quattro however the Delta was smaller, quicker and much lighter on its feet. The Integrale is a true drivers’ machine, and delivers a huge amount of feel and feedback that makes them irresistible. This wonderful metallic red example, with its Alcantara Green interior is presented in fine original condition and has undergone a nut and bolt restoration in 2011. More recently, in 2015 the car was the subject of a thorough engine rebuild by Lancia specialists Walkers Garage, costing just shy of £6,000 GBP. In the same year the car also had a new turbo and clutch fitted and it comes with both its original steering wheel and an Abarth steering wheel which has been installed by the current owner. Offered for sale today fully serviced in 2016, this Delta EVO1 is described to be in good condition throughout and with only 71,000 miles on the clock. One of the finest examples we have had on offer for some time and being sold today with a realistic reserve.

1930 Essex Super Six 18 HP Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 1005724
Estimate: £7,000- 10,000 NO RESERVE
The Essex was a brand of automobile produced by the Essex Motor Company between 1918 and 1922 and by Hudson Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan between 1922 and 1933. Essex cars were designed to be moderately priced cars which would be affordable to the average family. Proving durable, their capabilities were checked upon and confirmed by AAA and the United States Postal Service. In 1919 an Essex completed a 50-hour, 3,037.4 miles (4,888.2 km) endurance test in Cincinnati, Ohio, at an average speed of 60.75 miles per hour. The early Essex cars also captured many hill climb records. In a special Essex race car, Glen Shultz won the 1923 Pikes Peak Hill Climb. By 1929, the Essex was third in U.S. sales, behind Ford and Chevrolet. Essex sales remained strong into 1931 before sales began to trend downward. For 1932 a redesigned Essex debuted and was named the Essex-Terraplane, a play on the word aeroplane. For 1934 the Essex name was no more and the car carried on as the Terraplane Acquired by the vendor in the 1960’s his estate recall the car being used extensively by him before being put into a large dry barn for storage. The car was largely forgotten about until most recently. Always kept in dry store this wonderful restoration project would prove to be highly rewarding, there appears to be no serious structural deterioration

1989 Porsche 944 Cabriolet 1 of 100 RHD S2 Cabriolets – One owner and 8800 miles from new Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: WPOZZZ94ZKN431336
Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000
Despite it looking like a tuned 924, the 944 was vitally important for Porsche. A new 2.5-litre slant-four engine that was developed from the 928’s V8 proved just what was needed to give the front-engined model a genuine boost. The 944 shared the 924’s profile, looking like a smoothed-out 924 Carrera GT - and that was enough to give the new car genuine road presence. Handling and grip were sensational, and deservedly the 944 went on to outsell the 924 - keeping Porsche afloat during the tough years of the early 1980s. Interior revisions in 1985 gave it a swooping dashboard not dissimilar to the Citroen SM, as well as revised door panels. For 1988-’89 - the last year of eight-valve 944 production – the engine capacity rose to 2.7-litres (making it one of the largest four-pots you could buy), improving throttle response even more. In 1987, Porsche went to town on multi-valve cylinder heads. The 928 S became the 32-valve 928 S4, and the 944, became the 16-valve 944 S. The 16-valve twin-cam head was developed for the 1981 924 GTP Le Mans racer, and on the road going 944, upped power to almost 190bhp. For 1989 the range was simplified when the 944 S2 replaced both eight- and 16-valve 944s. A new aluminium engine block reduced weight up-front, while an expansion to 3.0-litres resulted in the power going up by 21bhp. The S2 adopted the smoother nose and tail panels from the 944 Turbo, and top speed for the naturally aspirated car approached 150mph. The Turbo’s braking system was also fitted as standard. For the final two years of production a cabriolet version was offered, proving remarkably popular in the UK. The 944 Cabriolet we are proud to offer is one of just 100 right-hand-drive 944 S2 cabriolets ever made. A one-owner car from new the car has an astonishingly low mileage of just 8800 miles meaning it is quite possibly the lowest mileage example on the planet. It comes as no surprise therefore that its meticulous ownership has left the car in excellent condition mechanically and aesthetically. Presented in a crisp white colour with black interior this low mileage, one-owner car is sure to hold its value whilst providing a tidy run-around for the summer months.

1919 Sigma 10 HP Tourer Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 1340
Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000
Ask any averagely well-informed car connoisseur to name the country producing the world’s highest volume of cars in 1910, and I’d bet you a pint of the best that they’ll name the USA, and bring Henry Ford into the conversation shortly after that. Some, maybe more subtle, will name Germany, on the basis that they’d been first off the blocks when Herr Daimler wobbled down the road twenty-five years earlier. Both wrong, however: the mildly surprising answer is France. Not so surprising, on further examination – already wealthy and heavily industrialised, (the world’s first ever neon sign flickered into life in Paris the same year) huge distances needed to be covered between cities, and the country still retained Napoleon’s mighty legacy of superb roads.
The innumerable variety of individual manufacturers rose continuously until the outbreak or World War I, and a minor footnote has to cover the Sigma company. Born in a Paris suburb, like many other marques, the company survived the war, and continued to offer until the late 1920s a number of models of undoubted charm and personality, with an unmistakeably ‘French’ flavour to them. We are pleased to be able to offer a 1919 Ten Horsepower, a model which attracted extremely favourable notice from The Autocar on its English launch, with comment on its distinctively ‘sporting’ nature for a small car, with what one feels was a slightly surprised English eyebrow raised at its robust feel.
The car, which must be close to unique as a survivor, is powered by a 1600cc Ballot engine, mounted in unit with a four speed gearbox. Little is known of the early history of the car, which bears a Devon registration, but a faded number ‘7’ painted on the radiator core might suggest little sporting use which might be fu to trace. It then seems to have spent a considerable period in a couple of collections in the North of England, but has clearly been sympathetically kept rather than subjected to a ‘tear-down’ restoration.

1973 Rolls Royce Corniche Ex “ Tiny” Rowland and Simon Dowse “ WW2 Escapologist” Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: CRH16013
Estimate: £40,000 to £50,000
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 fourdoor 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. This is a relatively early Corniche which is fitted with twin SU carburettors and the 6.75 litre V8 engine, of which, only about 35 remain on British roads today. Described as being in excellent condition throughout and presented in grey with grey interior and fitted with an Alpine audio and DVD system, this car was first registered in London, on 28 September 1973, to the infamous Roland “Tiny” Rowland, who was at the time Chairman of international conglomerate Lonrho, the car was driven to and from work every day by Tiny himself. Tiny Rowlands retained ownership until July 1999 when it passed to Sidney Dowse whose escape from Stalag Luft III gained him worldwide fame portrayed in Steve Mcqueen’s ‘The Great Escape’. One of three survivors of the original escape, Dowse went on to escape once again from camp Sonderlager A (Special Camp A) before being recaptured and placed in the death cells back at Sachsenhausen.. In April 1945, after spending several months in solitary confinement he, together with other prominent prisoners, was transferred to Tyrol via concentration camps at Flossenburg and Dachau. He was awarded the Military Cross for his services as a POW. When the car was acquired by the current owner in January 2006 a programme of renewal and renovation was commenced. The interior was completely renovated by Frank Dale and Stepsons, marque specialists, in London. Video screens were installed in the rear of the car and the operational hand controls are included in the sale. Rarely can you find a car of this age in better condition. Maintained and enjoyed meticulously throughout its life and steeped in history, this is a stylish yet usable car, an opportunity not to be missed.

1966 Austin Mini Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: AA257867603A
Estimate: £11,000 to £15,000
To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC’s A-Series engine - he was running the company’s Formula Junior effort at the time - and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car’s competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these - the 1,071cc Mini Cooper ‘S’ of 1963 - took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 ‘S’ and 1275 ‘S’ of 1964. The British 60’s iconic minis are now in high demand and much appreciated. This car is no exception, having been freshly imported from New Zealand and has been kept in dry condition. There is history with the car dating back to 1966 including warrant of fitness checks (mot’s) which verifies the mileage on the stunning little car, also included is the original Austin mini handbook. This is a wonderful example and in exceptional condition physically and mechanically with no known of visible faults. This mini comes with a full 1 years UK MOT with no advisories, and also has had a recent service health check. This would make a great investment or would make a great car to add to a personal collection, fantastic – a true British icon!

Estimate: £65,000 to £75,000
The Porsche 911 GT3 is the evolution of the original ‘73 Carrera RS, designed to be lightweight and performance focussed with scant regard to luxury and comfort items that would add to the car’s weight but detract from its performance. It is also the basis of the modern day ‘Carrera Cup Car’ which Porsche race worldwide in their own ‘one make’ series . It is also the ‘homologation special’ to their 911 GT3 car which competes in various FIA International Sportscar Racing series. This car was built and UK supplied in 2004 in Viper Green. It has a comprehensive and documented Porsche service history and has covered just 29,000 miles.
The standard 3.6 engine gives 381bhp and the chassis has race derived suspension and brakes with blistering performance to match. However the car still offers some creature comforts !, This car is very competitively priced to sell today.

1989 Ferrari Testarossa Registration Number: Non- EU registered
Chassis Number: ZFFSA17JAP0081675
Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000
Ferrari’s flagship model of the 1980s, the Testarossa, revived a famous name from the Italian manufacturer’s past when it arrived in 1984. A car of abnormal design and performance, the new Testarossa was born to stupefy, as was clear from the day of its unveiling: instead of one of the traditional motor shows, Ferrari chose the stage of the famous Paris Lido nightclub for the new model’s launch. A ‘next generation’ Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor’s amidshipsmounted, 5.0-liter, flat-12 cylinder engine, which now boasted a maximum power output raised to 390bhp at 6,300rpm, courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and drivability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allowing for a maximum speed in excess of 180mph.
Rivaling Lamborghini’s Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly. Its side gill slats, which fed air to its side-mounted radiators, instantly became one of the modern era’s most recognizable styling devices. A larger car than the 512BB - the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tires - the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low co-efficient of drag, its body design being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other devices. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel and plentiful leather. Detail improvements were made regularly throughout the Testarossa’s seven-year production run, one of the first being the adoption of dual door mirrors. One of the most recognizable and iconic models from the Italian company, the Testarossa would grace many young car enthusiasts’ bedroom walls in poster form during the late 1980s. Finished at the Maranello Ferrari works in October of 1989, the penultimate but one year of Testarossa production, this low-mileage example is finished in a classic Ferrari Rosso red, with a complementary black interior.

The compartments (engine and front trunk) are clean and original and the classic five-spoke star alloy wheels present beautifully. A better-kept, low mileage example will be hard to find anywhere; this surely represents the best way to purchase a landmark 1980s supercar of this calibre.

1995 MG R V8 – 26,500 miles from new. Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £22,000- £28,000
In 1992, 12 years after the last MG sports car had rolled off the Abingdon production lines, Austin-Rover made the inspired decision to revive this most charismatic of British marques by introducing an entirely new model - the MG RV8. The success of the Heritage MGB replacement bodyshell had demonstrated the continuing popularity of that car, so the decision was taken to base the new model on MG’s most successful sports car, suitably re-engineered for the 1990s. The MG RV8 was announced at the 1992 Motor Show, its launch being timed to coincide with the MGB’s 30th anniversary. Although recognisably related to its distinguished forebear, the RV8 was wider, lower and sleeker, featuring fully integrated body-coloured bumpers in the modern idiom. Beneath the power-bulged bonnet there was the latest 3.9-litre version of the Rover V8 engine, a modern derivative of that used to power the MGB V8 back in the 1970s, mated to a Rover LT77 fivespeed manual gearbox. With a maximum power output of 188bhp and capable of a top speed of 135mph, the RV8 was the most powerful MG ever at the time of its launch. The UK price on introduction was £26,500. Only 1,983 MG RV8s were built in total making this a future classic, around 75% of these were exported to Japan with the remainder sold new in the UK. There was no left-hand drive version. This particular MG is finished in Oxford blue and only 36 were ordered in this colour in the UK, making this colour very rare indeed. Most RV8’s (1269) were green. The heart of the car is the fuel injected 3.9 rover V8 which powers the car from 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds, so it’s a very quick little sports car. This car is in very good condition with no rust or cosmetic imperfections. The engine is very sound and smooth, and it has covered just 26,500 miles from new. A recent service was carried out along with a routine maintenance check on the linkages and bushes. This is without a doubt a future classic and highly desirable for any respected collector in arguably the rarest and by far the best colour combination.

1986 Ferrari 328 GTS Registration Number: Non-EU registered
Chassis Number: ZFFXA20JAP0078314
Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000
Debuted at the 1985 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Ferrari 328 was the second model in Ferrari’s long and popular line of mid-engine V8 sports cars, continuing through the upcoming 488 GTB. The 328 was the replacement to the popular 308 and featured notable performance and design advancements over the outgoing model. The mid-mounted V8 engine was increased from 3.0 to 3.2 liters and the iconic Leonardo Fioravanti-designed body was updated for a smoother, more contemporary appearance with integrated bumpers and revised cooling ducts, resulting in a more cohesive and streamlined profile. Pininfarina built two variants of this mid-engine sportscar, the Gran Turismo Berlinetta Coupe and the Gran Turismo Spider, featuring a removable Targa top. While performance of the GTS was not the same as the GTB, it offered an exhilarating open-air driving experience, and afforded the driver and their fortunate passenger unbridled access to the unmistakable sound of the dry-sump Ferrari V8. In the short four year run of the 328, 6,068 examples were produced, a great success which, combined with the success and popularity of the 308, ensured the position of the mid-engine V8 in Ferrari’s permanent stable. In the summer of 1987, this particular 328 GTS left Ferrari’s Maranello factory finished in the timeless combination of Ferrari’s iconic Rosso Corsa paint over a fine Nero black Leather interior. This Ferrari has led a cosseted existence and as such remains in very good condition. The vibrant Rosso Corsa paintwork shines vividly and accentuates Leonardo Fioravanti’s timeless design nicely. The original leather interior possesses a lovely patina appropriate for the age of the car. The targa top accentuates the lithe and powerful Pininfarina design when installed, and provides a wonderful open top experience once removed. Finished in a timeless and stunning colour combination, this 328 GTS will afford the next owner great driving pleasure, thanks to its well cared for mechanical systems and the unmistakable howl of a Ferrari V8.

1968 Aston Martin DB6 Mk I Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: DB6/3342
Estimate: £260,000- £300,000
‘If you want a truly British driver’s car, the ultimate development of a continuous line of thoroughbreds from the Vintage era to the present day, there is nothing in quite the same field as the Aston.’ – Motor on the DB6, 26th November 1966. Last-of-the-line models are always sought after by discerning collectors and few are more highly prized that the final flowering of the glorious ‘David Brown’ six-cylinder series, considered by many to be the last of the ‘real’ Aston Martins. Culmination of this long-running line of ‘DB’ sports saloons, the DB6 was introduced in 1965. Recognizably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. The wheelbase was now 4” longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance, but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. ‘The tail lip halves the aerodynamic lift around maximum speed and brings in its train greater headroom and more luggage space,’ revealed Motor magazine, concluding that the DB6 was one of the finest sports cars it had tested. ‘The DB6 with its longer wheelbase and better headroom makes an Aston Martin available to the far wider four-seater market, and the design is in every way superior to the previous model. A purist might have thought that the longer wheelbase would affect the near-perfect balance of the DB5, but if anything the DB6 is better.’

The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed manual gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. The DB6 on offer today is finished in opalescent blue with a complementary matching blue leather interior. The subject of a bare metal restoration which finished in 2015, this car has formed part of a significant collection from the South of England and has been wonderfully cared for. Photographs of the restoration are supplied in the car’s history file. During the restoration the car was also mechanically overhauled, and today it is presented in excellent condition throughout. Fitted with automatic transmission and power steering, this DB6 is a delight to drive. The car will be supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT which expires in July of this year. Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate fully the high quality of workmanship carried out on this highly desirable DB6. The popularity of Aston Martins continues to reach new peaks as more and more collectors are discovering the usability and comfort of the creations of Newport Pagnell. This DB6 is a wonderful opportunity to join an elite club of Aston Martin owners.

1972 FIAT 500L with Graziella 300 Caravan Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 110F3092323
Estimate: ÂŁ20,000 - ÂŁ25,000
The 500 always was a basic car, in fact it was so tinder-powered when launched in 1957 that even Italians gave it the cold shoulder. In comparison to rival countries’ offerings, such as the 2CV and the Mini that appeared just two years later, the 500 was out of date almost from the start. Most small cars could offer similar economy and just as much interior space while having that useful extra refinement for long journeys, but none of those rivals were quite as small as the Fiat. It was the ultimate town car, and its tiny dimensions and cheeky good looks soon won an enormous following among minimalist motorists around the world. Production of the original 500 lasted from 1957 until 1975 and the car we have here is from 1972 making it one of the later cars to be produced. It is an original right-hand drive car that was originally supplied to an ex-pat living in Monaco. It benefits from an upgraded 650 engine and gearbox and is showing a mileage of 50,000 miles. Finished in dark blue with contrasting red interior, only two owners from new and in the custody of the current owner for the last 18 years, this is a lovely example of an iconic Italian town car. Accompanying this wonderful little car is a Graziella 300 caravan. The Graziella was developed as an especially light weight caravan that even a little Fiat 500 could pull along. Sadly sales were not a huge success and the company that produced this lovely little caravan went out of business after only producing a few hundred of them, making this perfect camping companion rather rare and highly sought after. Finished in two-tone dark blue and white to match the Fiat 500, it completes a very cute picture of car and caravan that is at odds with any contemporary caravanning scene. The perfect way to enjoy the great outdoors in style.

2004 Ferrari 575 Maranello Registration Number: Non-EU registered
Chassis Number: ZFFBTSSJ000137847
Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000
Introduced for 2002, the Ferrari 575M (Modificata) represented an evolution of the acclaimed 550 Maranello rather than an entirely new model. With the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1997, Ferrari had returned to its tradition of building front-engined V12 sports cars, resurrecting a line that had remained dormant since the demise of the 365GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ in 1974. The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello’s 48-valve, 5.5-liter V12 developed 485bhp at 7,000rpm, some 100-or-so horsepower more than the Daytona’s. Ferrari had discovered long ago that providing optimum balance in a front-engined sports car necessitated the use of a rear transaxle, and the Maranello’s came with six speeds. The power train was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminum coachwork, while the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering. Styled by Pininfarina like its illustrious ‘Daytona’ predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, small cabin and truncated tail. The body’s aerodynamics were developed in the wind tunnel, where hours of testing ensured that the minimum of drag was combined with constant downforce regardless of set up, an important consideration in a 200mph road car. Styling details such as the bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheelarches recalled the great competizione Ferraris of the past, in particular the immortal 250GTO, while the tail incorporated Ferrari’s characteristic twin circular lights.

For the 575M, engine displacement grew to 5,748cc and maximum power to 515bhp, while transmitting it to the ground was a new six-speed ‘paddle shift’ manual gearbox, a technology that Ferrari had developed in Formula 1. Leaving Maranello IN 2004, this 575M was delivered new in the rare and unusual colour combination of black over tan. Most recently, the Ferrari has received cosmetic topping and tailing including a reskinning of the leather dashboard to rectify imperfections that had formed over the years. This an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the most popular and beautiful Ferraris of the modern era. The spiritual successor of the legendary Daytona and 275GTB/4, the 550 Maranello and 575M have become one of the hottest models among tifosi. Elegant, spirited, and guaranteed to delight, this 575M is ready to gallop into the garage of its next lucky owner.

1969 Lotus Elan S4 Drophead Coupé Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 45-9196
Estimate: £27,000- £32,000
Elite-type glassfibre monocoque having proved insufficiently rigid when applied to an open car, Lotus boss Colin Chapman came up with a simple but effective steel backbone frame for the company’s new Elan sports car. So successful was this chassis design that it still forms the basis of today’s Lotus cars. Suspension was all-independent with unequal length wishbones at the front, while a wide-based lower wishbone and modified Chapman Strut, as used in Lotus’s Grand Prix cars, was employed at the rear. Rack-and-pinion steering was sourced from the Triumph Vitesse, and there were Girling disc brakes all round. The Elan’s engine was a highly-modified 1,498cc (later 1,558cc) Ford Cortina unit topped with Lotus’s own twin-camshaft cylinder head, and both gearbox and differential came also from Ford. As development progressed the Elan became more civilised, the final Series 4 - introduced in March 1968 - benefiting from dashboard fresh-air vents and improved interior trim and fittings. The bodyshell was slightly thinner - and lighter - than the S3’s and featured flared wheelarches accommodating wider wheels, side repeaters and larger Plus 2-style rear lights. Adequately powerful, light in weight and endowed with exceptional roadholding and handling, the Elan proved an immense commercial success for Lotus, slightly fewer than 9,000 being produced by the time production ceased in 1973. Even today there are few more rewarding driver’s cars around. This particular Elan Lotus S4 was restored for the previous owners by Lotus experts Fibreglass Services of Yapton, West Sussex and was completed circa 19 years ago. It received a new galvanised chassis ; a complete mechanical overhaul including a blueprinted and balanced engine; and a full interior refurbishment including a new hood and wet weather gear. The restoration cost well over £25,000 (see supporting invoices on file). Following completion the car was used by Fiberglass Services for a 2001 Discovery Channel documentary, after which it was stored in the owners’ home. It has covered only 350 miles since this restoration. Accompanying documentation consists of the aforementioned invoices and a V5 registration document. A delightful example in an excellent colour combination.

1993 Ferrari 512 TR Registration Number: Non-EU Registered
Chassis Number: ZFFLA40B000095878
Estimate: £90,000 - £100,000
Introduced in 1992, the 512 TR was one of the final developments of Ferrari’s sensational Testarossa supercar. Ferrari’s flagship model, the Testarossa revived a famous name from the Italian company’s past when it arrived in 1984. A ‘next generation’ Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor’s amidshipsmounted, 5.0-litre, flat-12 engine; the latter now boasting a maximum power output raised to 380bhp courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and driveability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allied to a maximum speed of 180mph. Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessed light controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied to its outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to an instant and sustained high level of demand. In 1992 the original Testarossa was succeeded by the extensively revised and improved 512 TR version, which came with 422bhp on tap and noticeably greater grip than its predecessor, the latter being much appreciated by Autocar’s tester: ‘The 512 resolved information about the road surface explicitly; the Testarossa’s feedback wasn’t as sharply focussed nor ultimately as useful when travelling quickly.’ And the 512 TR could certainly manage that, its claimed top speed being 314km/h. This stunning 512 TR was originally supplied new to Germany in 1993 and today has a mere 12,000 miles recorded on its odometer. Finished in the most sought after colour combination Rossa Corsa over Nero leather interior, this is a very desirable LHD TR and is fitted with an immobiliser, and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. Interested parties should note that VAT has not been paid on this car will be applicable at the buyer’s local rate.

1974 De Tomaso Pantera Registration Number: German registered
Chassis Number: THPNPSO 7241
Estimate: £65,000 - £85,000
This is a superb example of a low-mileage, matching-numbers and accident-free Pantera that has had just one owner in the US and one owner in Germany. Originally ordered by J.C. Lewis, a Ford and Mercury dealer, this De Tomaso arrived in Savannah, Georgia in December 1974. The car remained in Mr. Lewis’ possession for the next 40 years, but was never road registered as it was only driven occasionally on trade plates. It was first registered in February 2012 as it had spent its entire life on an MSO (Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin). Later in 2012, and now with 20,000 recorded miles, the Pantera had work done to the brakes, with new shocks, new carbs and intake, plus a refurbished distributor and water pump along with many more items, all of which accounts for the $4,973 invoice in the car’s history file. The current owner purchased the Pantera in 2014 from Mr. Lewis and subsequently imported it to Germany. With c.24,000 recorded miles, the car was recently carefully resprayed in its original colour of yellow, meticulously detailed and registered in Germany with a new TÜV to 2018. Described as running faultlessly and presented in excellent overall condition, this Pantera is on the button and ready for driving by its next lucky owner.

1962 BMW Isetta 300 Registration Number: NSL 842
Chassis Number: 331853
Estimate: £10,000-£15,000
The Isetta, which BMW built under license from 1955 to 1962, helped forge a new market segment for microcars that proved instrumental in getting Europe back on wheels. Designed by a company that made refrigerators, and looking like one itself, the little Isetta proved to be a sales success for the brief period when microcars were in vogue. The example we have on offer with us here today is a 300; the largest of the 2 seater Isetta’s. Provided with a current MoT, this wonderful car has been the subject of a complete respray and the brakes and steering have also been recommissioned. #NSL 842 has also received new seat covers, interior panels as well as sunroof. Now finished in red with newly trimmed black interior, this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a ready-to-go example of one of the fast appreciating little bubble cars, fitted with the more desirable 298cc engines.

1966 Ford Mustang Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 6F07T340491
Estimate: £17,000 - £22,000
The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from April 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators. It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale the following year. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment. With each revision, the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and in engine power. The 1971 model saw a drastic redesign to its predecessors. After an initial surge, sales were steadily declining, as Ford began working on a new generation Mustang. With the onset of the 1973 oil crisis, Ford was prepared, having already designed the smaller Mustang II for the 1974 model year. This new car had no common components with preceding models. This “mean” looking Mustang presented in a Light Blue with Black interior has the mechanical condition to match. As is evident when you look at the car, when you drive it and when you hear it, you will be pushed to find a 66 model in better condition. 2016 marks an important year for the famous ’66 Mustang, 50 years of this truly revolutionary car. Still maintaining its striking and aggressive looks, the car is as at home on the streets of London as it is on the start-line of Santa Pod.

1962 Bentley S2 Continental Coupe Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: BC71CZ
Estimate: ÂŁ240,000 - ÂŁ295,000
The advent of the Bentley Continental with modern styling made the contemporary R-Type look distinctly dated. Something beyond a facelift was required. The resulting S-Type was launched in 1955 to much acclaim, the standard Park Ward body being much greater in size and grandeur compared to the preceding car. There were three phases of this model resulting in the final S3 series and a number of mechanical changes were introduced over this period.
The S2 Continental was developed from the S1 on the same chassis, using the aluminium 61/4 litre V8 engine in place of the old 6 cylinder 4,887cc unit which had been phased out in 1959. Automatic transmission, power steering and servo brakes combined to make a superb grand touring car. As the launch of the all new Bentley S2 Continental chassis and engine drew closer the design team at H.J. Mulliner also looked to the future and began to make some small amendments to their S1 Continentals Fastback design by re-positioning of the front spot lights on to the top of the wing line. They also listened to their customers’ requests for a new two door design which allowed greater luggage capacity in the boot. The result was design number 7500, built in very limited numbers which was fitted with a wraparound rear screen and fins on the front and rear wings. Design number 7500 was arguably improved further for the S2 Continental chassis with the removal of the fins to allow a more graceful line. The result was design number 7514, considered by many including ourselves to be the most attractive of all coachwork designs fitted to the S2 Continental chassis between 1959 and 1962 .

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.
Chassis No BC71CZ is one of just 71 examples built to design number 7514 in right hand drive by H.J. Mulliner. The coachwork was constructed entirely of aluminium at their West London works, completed to order for each individual customer in the bespoke fashion that Bentley Continental owners had become accustomed to. BC71CZ was completed in February of 1962 and supplied by the Rolls-Royce agent in Geneva Garage L’Athenee to its first owner Mr Otto Streicher of Zurich. According to the chassis records, it was ordered in a colour only described as Special Blue, with a green leather interior. The car is now presented in Pewter but retains its original green leather interior. Although early records beyond the car’s first few years are sparse, we understand that the car returned to England during the late 1960s where it remained until 1999. It was bought by a British collector on 1989 and then supplied by Frank Dale & Stepsons ten years later to a collector in Europe.
The car returned to their workshops in London periodically over the past sixteen years for servicing and general maintenance, being cared for on a no expense spared basis. Its most recent trip to the UK was for preparatory works prior to embarking on a rally, where the car performed beautifully. More recently and prior to be offered for sale, a number of improvements have been undertaken, including the fitting of air conditioning. New dark green Wilton carpets have been trimmed and fitted to both the cabin and the boot. The coachwork has been restored along with significant amounts of the brightwork. It is also important to note that air conditioning has been put in which makes this wonderful Coupe even more satisfying on a long tour. The result is a car in excellent condition, fully prepared and ready for its next trip. It comes complete with its small tools in its Mulliner box, an original handbook, copies of the original chassis cards and a good history file detailing the maintenance records and more recent improvements.

1996 Porsche 993 Carrera S Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £45,000- £55,000
Porsche manufactured the 993 from 1993 through to early 1998, its discontinuation then marked the end of the air-cooled Porsches. There were many technical improvements over the outgoing 964. The rear suspension was now alloy together with the sub-frame which made for far better handling and ride. The transmissions were improved in both the manual, now six speed - a first for Porsche - and the Tiptronic gearbox became more sophisticated, recognising gradients and descents and so improving the driving experience. Mechanically, the brakes and exhaust systems were all improved. The bodywork was revised to give a more rounded style, with a genesis that is apparent in today’s 911s’. Engine development included Porsche’s VarioRam induction system that improved the torque characteristics of the engine, which greatly improved the overall performance. It was a standard feature from 1996 onwards. On offer here is a rare and original UK registered 993 Carrera S. The ‘S’ came with the turbo bodywork and were ordered in very limited numbers. Finished in Midnight Blue metallic with grey leather this car certainly looks the part, particularly with the Turbo rear spoiler. The original air-cooled Porsches are now truly acknowledged as the last of the ‘real Porsches’ both by owner/drivers and dealers. Values have been rising and demand is now outstripping the supply of correct cars. With its sensible guide price and rare turbo bodywork this Porsche 993 Carrera 2S requires a close look.

1964 Alvis TE 21 Convertible One of only 99 TE Cabriolets in long term private ownership Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 27207
Estimate: £90,000 - £100,000
The name Alvis was always synonymous with craftsmanship and performance and the final models produced by this very British manufacturer were no exception. When production of the three litre cars ended in 1954 that might have been the end of Alvis cars for good had it not been for Swiss coachbuilder Graber, who for some time had successfully re-bodied Alvis chassis with his own elegant and modern designs. In 1953 Alvis reached an agreement to build the Graber cars under licence; Loughborough coachbuilder Willowbrook built the first model, the TC108G, but it was expensive and only 17 examples were built in three years. Production ceased in 1957 when Alvis, having bought the Graber rights two years earlier, struck a deal with Park Ward to build the cars at a more reasonable cost.
The resultant new TD21 was announced in October 1958 and benefited from a strengthened chassis, sharp styling and increased interior space. In 1962 a series II version was launched and while all round disc brakes became standard so did a five speed ZF gearbox. It received excellent press, Autocar calling it “one of the most enchanting owner-driver cars imaginable”. In 1964 the Series III, otherwise known as the TE 21 was released and by this time the three litre engine had increased power output from 104bhp in 1959 to 134bhp. Just 355 TE21 models were produced in total, less than 100 as cabriolets. The Alvis owners Club archive register on file indicates that #27207 was first dispatched on December the first 1964. Having been first registered as BAE-567B to a Bristol footwear manufacturer G. B. Britton & Son Limited of Kingswood the car changed hands once more before it was purchased by the renowned American anthropologist Robert M. Laughlin in 1975. Sometime in the mid to late 90s the car was then taken to a British Marque expert in Bainbridge, Philadelphia. Sadly Mr. Laughlin passed away before the restoration could be completed.

Finished in resplendent Ruby red with contrasting Zanzibar red leather interior, this example is difficult to realistically fault and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. Currently registered to the UK and provided with a new V5 Log book, the car also still possesses the Viriginia Certificate of title from 1975, a true testament to the cars complete history.

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.

1994 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: ZLA831AB000585635
Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000
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 ourside 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 diaganol stiching. Finished in the Iconic Delta red, this wonderful example has been the subject of 2000 hour restoration, finished in the last 12 months. The work was completed by an Italian Fiat/Lancia specialist, and was both meticulous, and lengthy. The car enjoyed a respray, also refurbishment of the interior to a high standard (a photo file is available to support the restoration work). With only 37,000 miles from new, the beige Alacantara interior is in exemplary condition, as is the rest of the car. The Lancia Delta was a true icon of its era, hugely successful in rallying, and highly desirable as a road car. The car you see here must surely rank as one of the finest examples on the market today.

1980 Rolls-Royce Camargue Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: JRH50294
Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000
Before the introduction of the Silver Shadow in October 1965, Rolls-Royce motor cars had traditionally employed a separate chassis, which allowed a variety of coachwork designs. The brief for the Shadow, however, had demanded a modern design: a lower and more compact successor to the Silver Cloud III, which dictated unitary construction, and a monocoque bodyshell. But while this could conceivably have reduced the individual coachwork styles available from Crewe, this proved to be far from the case. Mechanically, the Shadow was similar to the Cloud III, barring the adoption of independent rear suspension – notably improving road holding and ride comfort, and also allowing greater interior space – while the V8 engine was enlarged from 6,230cc to 6,750cc in July 1970. Eight months later the 125mph Corniche was introduced, the fastest Rolls-Royce yet with 10 percent more power; it also benefited from air conditioning, central locking and rack and pinion steering. As the chauffeur was becoming an increasingly rare breed during the 1960s and 1970s, the market turned to personal, owner-driver cars, regardless of price – in some ways and for certain markets, the more expensive the better. Consequently the Corniche was ousted as the Rolls-Royce flagship by the arrival in March 1975 of the opulent Camargue. Its mechanical specification was similar, but the coachwork, for the first time on a production Rolls-Royce, bore the unmistakable signature of Sergio Pininfarina. Sporting and angular with sharp lines according to the prevailing idiom, it was wider and lower than the Corniche. The interior was spacious and opulent, with more than a hint of the private jet about the instruments and the elaborate seats, and the huge doors made entry and exit astonishingly easy for a car with just two of them. This most luxurious of Rolls-Royces was intended to be highly distinctive and aimed at the wealthy owner-driver – it scored on both counts, costing no less than £10,000 more than the Corniche when launched, with the air conditioning system alone was said to cost more than a new Mini! When production ceased in 1986, just 530 of these stylish RollsRoyces had been built during an eleven year run.
This wonderful example in metallic blue with tan hide interior comes with both its original sales brochure and its original service book. The interior is in good condition, still exuding the aroma of new leather as is synonymous with these quality British cars. The car has also recently undergone a respray, and now looks as distinctive as it did when first manufactured. These are rare luxury models of the marque, still providing great touring ability in comfort, and this model specifically is highly sought after these days. This is an opportunity not to be missed.

Penny Farthing Bicycle Registration Number: N/A
Chassis Number: N/A
Estimate: NO RESERVE
The penny-farthing, also known as a high wheel, high wheeler and ordinary, is a type of bicycle with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel. It was popular after the boneshaker until the development of the safety bicycle in the 1880s. It was the first machine to be called a “bicycle”. Although the name “penny-farthing” is now the most common, it was probably not used until the machines were nearly outdated; the first recorded print reference is from 1891 in Bicycling News. It comes from the British penny and farthing coins, one much larger than the other, so that the side view resembles a penny leading a farthing.] For most of their reign, they were simply known as “bicycles”. In the late 1890s, the name “ordinary” began to be used, to distinguish them from the emerging safety bicycles; this term and “hi-wheel” (and variants) are preferred by many modern enthusiasts. In 1869, Eugène Meyer, a Frenchman, invented the High-Bicycle design and fashioned the wire-spoke tension wheel. Around 1870, English inventor James Starley, described as the father of the bicycle industry, and others, began producing bicycles based on the French boneshaker but with front wheels of increasing size, because larger front wheels, up to 1.5 m (60 in) in diameter, enabled higher speeds on bicycles limited to direct drive. In 1878, Albert Pope began manufacturing the Columbia bicycle outside of Boston, starting their two-decade heyday in America. Although the trend was short-lived, the penny-farthing became a symbol of the late Victorian era. Its popularity also coincided with the birth of cycling as a sport.

1972 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3S RHD Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 818.651.2877
Estimate: £25,000 to £30,000
Chassis Number: The introduction of the Fulvia saloon in 1963 maintained Lancia’s unparalleled reputation for innovation in automobile design. It replaced the rather boxy Appia and featured an all-new, narrow-angle (13-degree) overheadcamshaft V4 engine; front wheel drive; independent front suspension by double wishbones; and disc brakes all round. A 2+2 coupe on a shorter wheelbase was launched in 1965. Though mechanically similar, the newcomer had all the visual presence its progenitor lacked and came with a 1,216cc engine producing 80bhp. Tuned ‘HF’ versions provided increased performance, while for the style conscious there was the eye-catching Sport Zagato, characterised by one of the eponymous Milanese carrozzeria’s typically lightweight and aerodynamic bodies. The shape was penned by Ercole Spada, arguably Zagato’s most important post-war designer, who had forged his reputation for creative brilliance with the iconic Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato of 1960. Introduced in 1967 with the 1,298cc engine, the Zagato was later offered with the 1.6-litre 115bhp HF unit, a sparkling combination with a top speed approaching 120mph. A five-speed gearbox was standard equipment from 1971. Lighter and more nimble than the standard-bodied cars, the Sport distinguished itself in competition, particularly in long distance events. Fulvia Sport Zagatos scored highly in the Sebring 12 Hours and Daytona 24 Hours (where a Sport earned a class win in 1969). Ex-works HF rally cars aside, the Sport Zagato is the most desirable and collectible of all the Fulvias and undeniably one of the most striking designs of its era. Finished in its Aragosta (Lobster) colour, this Fulvia Zagato 1.3S comes with a comprehensive file documenting its restoration. This is a rare RHD example which is iconic in its design and fun to drive.

1994 Lamborghini Diablo Coupe Registration Number: Non-UK registered
Chassis Number: ZA9DE07AONLA12711
Estimate: £85,000 - £95,000
After 17 years in production, the legendary Countach was replaced by the Diablo, which on its arrival was the fastest, most advanced and most expensive Lamborghini ever built. First exhibited publicly at Monaco in January 1990, the Diablo improved on its illustrious predecessor in every way, setting a new benchmark in supercar design. Nobody can have been surprised to learn that it had been styled by Marcello Gandini, the man responsible for the Lamborghini Miura and Countach, for the family resemblance was obvious. The use of carbon-fibre composite panels, first seen in the Countach Evoluzione model, was extended in the Diablo, which also featured revised suspension capable of accommodating the envisaged future developments of four-wheel drive and active suspension. Stretched to 5.7 litres for the Diablo, Lamborghini’s 48-valve V12 engine gained fuel injection for the first time, producing its maximum of 492bhp at 7,000rpm. With more power and a lower drag coefficient than the Countach, the Diablo easily eclipsed its forebear, exceeding 200mph on test. More importantly, its acceleration and top speed figures were marginally better than those of the Ferrari F40. Four-wheel drive Diablo VT and Targa-style open roadster versions soon followed and then came the Diablo SE (Special Edition) only 150 examples of which were built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 30 years as a car manufacturer. The Diablo SE was presented to the public in September 1993 at the 3rd Lamborghini day, held at the Sant’Agata factory, where 140 Lamborghinis from around the world had been assembled. The SE was more competition orientated than the standard Diablo and could be ordered with the optional Jota upgrade kit for actual GT racing. More powerful (525bhp) and around 10% lighter than the stock version, the SE was also marginally quicker, boasting a top speed of 305mph (331km/h).

The redesigned interior’s dashboard came from the Diablo VT but the previously standard air conditioning and stereo system were dispensed with. Carbon-fibre racing seats and four-point harnesses were installed, while roll stiffness could be adjusted from within the cockpit. Traction control came as standard on the SE, but there was no longer any power assistance for the steering and the VT’s electronically adjustable suspension had gone, deemed unnecessary on this purer sports car. Externally, the SE was readily distinguishable by virtue of its new nose, redesigned in pursuit of greater downforce, and a wider rear wing with adjustable centre flap. Deliveries commenced in June 1994 and the last of the 150 cars was delivered in November 1995. Each carried a numbered plaque beneath the left-side window. This Diablo was originally supplied in 1994. Finished in the stunning and unusual shade of Rosso with a black interior this is an exceptionally good example of a sought after classic Lamborghini that is increasing in value. Interested parties should note that VAT has not been paid on this car and will be applicable at the buyer’s local rate.

1914 Studebaker SD Open Tourer Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 412644
Estimate: ££8,000- £12,000 NO RESERVE
Studebaker was an American wagon and automobile manufacturer based in South Bend, Indiana. Founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868 under the name of the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, the company was originally a producer of wagons for farmers, miners, and the military. Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1902 with electric vehicles and in 1904 with petrol vehicles, all sold under the name “Studebaker Automobile Company”. Until 1911, its automotive division operated in partnership with the Garford Company of Elyria, Ohio, and after 1909 with the E-M-F Company. The first petrol automobiles to be fully manufactured by Studebaker were marketed in August 1912. Over the next 50 years, the company established a reputation for quality and reliability. After years of financial problems, in 1954 the company merged with luxury carmaker Packard to form Studebaker-Packard Corporation. However, Studebaker’s financial problems were worse than the Packard executives thought. The Packard marque was phased out and the company returned to the Studebaker Corporation name in 1962. The South Bend plant ceased production on December 20, 1963, and the last Studebaker automobile rolled off the Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, assembly line on March 16, 1966. This delightful SD model on offer today was first registered on the 6th July 1914. Its Buff style Log book confirms it became the property of a gentleman in 1968. His estate have confirmed to us the car was used frequently before it was dry stored and largely forgotten about – preserving many desirable original features. This presents a wonderful and relatively straight forward restoration project for its new custodian- and the opportunity to be chassis 412644’s first new owner for over half a century. Quite remarkable.

1972 Ginetta G15 Registration Number: EU Taxes paid
Chassis Number: B411041346HSO
Estimate: ÂŁ15,000 - ÂŁ20,000
The Ginetta G15 was a British sports car made by the Ginetta company in Witham, Essex between 1968 and 1974. The car was initially available only in kit form but later some factory built examples were available. It was launched at the 1967 London Motor Show. The body was of glass fibre and was mounted on a tubular steel chassis. The engine and four speed transmission were taken from the Hillman Imp range and were rear-mounted driving the rear wheels. The suspension was by independent coil springs at the front and rear with the front steering/suspension derived from the Triumph Herald. The first few cars retained the Imp rear cooling radiator but tended to overheat so in 1969 a Mk ii version with front mounted radiator with electric fan was fiited instead which cured the problem. The Mk II also had a revised dashboard and improved seats. A heater and windscreen washers were optional extras. This Ginetta G15 is presented in very good overall condition and is finished in traditional with Ginettas, in orange with black interior. It comes with Cosmic wheels and is not track prepared which is unusual compared to other examples. A pretty and fun British sports car.

1966 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk.I Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: BA74FY59122
Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000
The immortal Lotus Cortina by Ford of Dagenham, in England, is one of the most charismatic, best loved and universally successful high-performance cars ever to represent the great globalized American company’s famous blue-oval badge. The two-door Ford Cortina GT had already been proven in rallies and circuit racing when Ford executive Walter Hayes approached Colin Chapman to produce a world-beating racing saloon, following up a series of successful Ford-powered Lotus Formula Junior single-seaters. The plan called for Lotus to assemble 1000 cars to homologate the model for FIA Group 2 racing. Engineer Harry Mundy – who had previously helped design the Formula 1 World Championship-winning Coventry Climax engines – had been commissioned by Chapman to design a twin-overhead camshaft cylinder head to top the Ford 1500 Kent engine’s “unburstable bottom end”. Cosworth Engineering helped develop and fine-tune these engines, while the Ford 4-speed gearbox as specified for the Lotus Elan was adopted for the Cortina program. Colin Chapman significantly revised the Ford Cortina’s suspension, changing the spring and damper rates, reducing the ride height, and utilizing coil springs at the rear. The body shell was lightened with aluminium skins in the doors, hood and trunk lid. Aluminium was also adopted for the clutch housing, remote gearshift extension and differential case. The standard full-width front bumper was replaced by quarter bumpers. Lotus badges were added externally while the interior featured bucket front seats, pistol-grip handbrake and a wood-rim alloy-spoked steering wheel. Production began in February 1963, with homologation being achieved in September 1963 despite production not yet having reached the FIA’s 1,000-off minimum. Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Vic Elford, Jack Sears, Sir John Whitmore, and Jacky Ickx all raced Cortinas. Jim Clark – multiple F1 World Champion and Indy 500 winner, also won the 1964 British Saloon Car Championship in his works version.

The production Lotus Cortina was itself updated, the 1965 homologation model returning to leaf springs in place of coilsprings at the rear. The engines were tuned by 1962 F1 World Champion constructor BRM. By the end of production late in 1966 it is believed that some 2894 Lotus Cortinas had been built, virtually all finished in Ermine White with Sherwood Green body band and flash. In 1967 a Lotus Cortina Mark II followed, assembled by Ford not Lotus, and therefore not allocated a Lotus type number. A well known and much admired and respected example by the Lotus Cortina Register, PBF 489D is in beautiful condition both mechanically and cosmetically. A later air flow model on leaf springs, this example shows an odometer reading of 88,700 miles which is believed to be genuine and is supplied with many older MoT test certificates, invoices and a copy of ‘The Quarter Bumper’ Club Magazine in a very good history file. The interior is highly original and un-restored and all panels are straight and present extremely well. The car was subject to light recommissioning by the previous vendor-who is a Lotus Cortina Register member and now runs and drives as it should. Unquestionably one of Britain’s icons of the Swinging Sixties, the Lotus Cortina remains a saloon car racing legend and a memorable ‘giant killer’ capable of far more than its modest looks would suggest. The chance to acquire a genuine Lotus Cortina is a rare one, and should not be overlooked today.

1963 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupe Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: SCX775
Estimate: £135,000 - £150,000
At the end of the 1950s the Rolls-Royce six-cylinder engine was at the limit of its development, and though top speed was still excellent the acceleration was becoming modest when compared to the American luxury competition. RollsRoyce had been developing a V8 engine for some years, and finally introduced it in the autumn of 1959. The new unit was all-aluminium and featured steel wet liners, whilst displacement went up to 6230 c.c. Thanks to this the top speed of the Cloud, renamed the Cloud II in this guise, jumped to 113 m.p.h. Acceleration was improved as well, with the 0-60 m.p.h. time of 14.2 for the Cloud II’s predecessor being reduced to 10.9 seconds, a very noteworthy achievement. The Cloud III model introduced a further up-rated engine with larger SU carburettors, and a higher compression ratio yielding an additional 15 b.h.p. There was also more power assistance for the steering. Externally the model was readily recognizable by the provision of paired headlamp mountings, and shortening of the radiator grille. The Cloud III for sale here is a right-hand drive car that started its life in the UK before being exported to the US. In total it has had three owners with the previous owner being the custodian from 1983 until 2014. This Rolls Royce is a lovely drophead coupe version of this elegant model and was recently subject to a thorough bodywork and interior restoration. The engine and running gear have also been restored by a Rolls Royce and Bentley Marque specialist in the UK. The vehicle has travelled minimal mileage since restoration and also benefits from a new electric hood and headlining. This Rolls Royce drophead looks absolutely splendid finished in midnight Blue with Grey Blue interior. Such an elegant and stylish motorcar that portrays a truly regal image. This surely is an opportunity not to be missed.

1972 Citroen DS 21 Registration Number: EU Taxes paid
Chassis Number: 04FD0889
Estimate: £14,000 - £18,000
The Citroën DS is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive executive car manufactured and marketed by the French company Citroën from 1955 to 1975 in sedan, wagon/estate and convertible body configurations. Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre styled and engineered the car. Paul Magès developed the hydropneumatic selflevelling suspension. After 18 years of secret development as the successor to the Traction Avant, the DS 19 was introduced on 5 October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken, and orders for the first day totalled 12,000. Noted for its aerodynamic, futuristic body design and innovative technology, the DS set new standards in ride quality, handling, and braking. The DS was the first mass production car with disc brakes. The DS came third in the 1999 Car of the Century poll recognizing the world’s most influential auto designs and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine. This LHD example is presented in cream with a black roof and brown interior and comes with its Italian registration paperwork. These were the most popular company cars for executives back in the 1970s and offered stylish and comfortable touring driving with good performance. A substantial boot and good rear seat space, meant they were ideal for the family. This is still the case today! A great opportunity to purchase a wonderful “ retro” car which was restored in 2010.

1972 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 2411152
Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000
Alfa Romeo produced the 105/115 series coupés between 1963 and 1977. They were successors to the Giulietta Sprint coupé and shared the same shortened floorplan as the Giulia saloon. The design of the body shape was Giorgetto Giugiaro’s first major project for Bertone and it features similarities with his earlier design for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint. At the time the balance of glass and metal and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were ground-breaking styling features. All of the various models within the range featured four cylinder light alloy twincam engines with cubic capacities ranging from 1290cc to 1962cc. With the exception of US cars all engines featured twin carburettors. Disc brakes on all four wheels and 5-speed manual gearboxes were standard features of all cars. One of the latter incarnations of the 105/115 series coupés was the 2000 GT Veloce which is also known as the 2000 GTV. It was introduced in 1971 as a replacement for the 1750 range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962cc and it produced 132 PS. The interior trim was updated with the most noticeable difference being the separate instrument cluster rather than the gauges being installed in the dash panel found in earlier cars. Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguishable by the grille with horizontal chrome bars which features the familiar Alfa heart shape in the centre. The 2000 GTV on sale here is a sought after original UK RHD model. Owned from new by a prominent Manchester industrialist for 40 years and with only two previous owners in total. The interior has been re-trimmed and the bodywork has benefitted from a recent bare metal respray. The general condition of the car is described as excellent by the vendor. With only 45,000 miles on the clock, extensive history and presented in a highly desirable combination of midnight blue bodywork and tan interior, this is a fantastic example of a ‘70s Italian icon and an opportunity not to be missed.

1973 ISO Fidia - 1 of only 16 RHD cars produced Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: B310179/D
Estimate: £70,000 - £80,000
Manufacturers of the Isetta bubble car, Iso joined the ranks of supercar constructors in 1962 with the launch of the Giotto Bizzarrini-designed Rivolta coupé at the Turin Motor Show. The styling was carried out at Carrozzeria Bertone and penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Fidia, longer in the wheelbase by approximately 150mm, was a more practical proposition than the two-door Rivolta on which it was based. Originally conceived as the S4 and introduced in 1967, the Fidia’s four-door body was airy, graceful, purposeful and sleek, continuing Iso’s leadership in advancing automobile design. Chevrolet engines of 5.4 or 5.7 litres were fitted initially. Towards the end of production, 35 Fidias were finally built with the 5.8-litre Ford V8 engine.
Iso’s proven underpinnings included independent front suspension, deDion rear axle and four wheel, power-assisted, disc brakes (inboard at the rear). It is believed that in all 16 RHD Fidias (the first being sold to John Lennon in 1967) were produced, of which two were S4’s and seven were Ford powered; only a few righthand drive cars are thought to still exist. This 1973 example is a real delight, coming from the custodianship of a collector of several ISOs and other rare and desirable Italian cars of the 1960s and 70s. The Fidia is one of a handful of RHD versions still in existence, rarer still in that it is fitted with the Ford V8 power plant. According to the original build sheet the ISO was built on 20th July 1973, with the additional options of electronic ignition, automatic transmission, electric sunroof, power steering, a large sump pan, oil cooler, seat belts and Michelin tyres. The car was subsequently imported into the UK by Wood and Krailing Limited, a Lancia dealership based at that time in Theydon Boyle, Essex, and was first registered on 20th December 1973. Amongst the four previous owners are the importing dealership and Chris Lackner, the ISO & Bizzarrini Owners Club UK President. Chris compiled a chronological summary of the car’s account, which is contained within the history file.

Finished in the classic (and original) combination of mid-blue metallic with a Champagne leather interior, the Fidia exudes a level of plushness that only the very best luxury GT cars of the 70s are able to achieve. The driver is kept well informed with an array of instruments, the Nardi steering wheel keeps one heading in the right direction, and entertainment is provided by a high quality McIntosh sound system. Now showing a recorded 51,500 miles from new, this example has enjoyed some sensible modifications in recent years, which have allowed the current owner to undertake European road trips with ease, and at speed. Alloy cylinder heads have been added, the gearbox upgraded to the later Ford ‘Automatic Over Drive’ (AOD) unit giving the driver better reliability and usability. The suspension has been overhauled with new bushes, and a vented disc brake conversion has been added. The Fidia is offered with a current UK V5 registration document and MoT test certificate. This is a genuinely a super rare, extremely powerful, fast and comfortable GT car which is capable of transporting four people cross continent with consummate ease. A wonderful proposition for the discerning collector.

1993 BMW Alpina B12 5.7 Coupe - Manual Gearbox (1 of 3 produced) One Owner From New Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £130,000 - £150,000
Based on the BMW 850CSi which was presented to the public in 1992, the B12 5.7 Coupe was one of the fastest cars Alpina have ever made. The engine is based on the BMW Motorsport prepared 5.6-litre V12, which produces 380bhp. Alpina modified the engine capacity to 5.7-litres, as well as the intake, crankshaft and camshafts. A new exhaust system featuring Alpina’s own stainless steel catalytic converters was fitted, and the Motronic engine management system was reprogrammed. These changes improved output to 416bhp and 570Nm of torque. The B12 Coupe was based on the already highly regarded BMW 850 CSi, typically Alpina finely honed the car with an extensive list of upgrades resulting in a very rapid and satisfying driving machine and the fastest BMW ever at the time. Performance was phenomenal - a top speed in excess of 180mph with a sub 5 second dash to 60mph. A handmade carbon fibre bonnet with NACA duct reduced weight and aided engine cooling, whilst uprated Alpina springs with Bilstein dampers and massive 285/35 rear tyres mounted on Alpina 20 spoke alloy wheels greatly aided road holding. The standard gearbox was a Getrag 6-speed manual, though the Shift-Tronic gearbox was an option. This fabulous example is incredibly rare, being one of only three left hand drive Alpina B12 5.7 Coupes made with the six speed manual gearbox. The car has covered approximately 50,000kms from new with one owner, before being brought into the UK earlier this year. We have seen much interest in BMW Alpinas of this period, which not only offer incredible performance, but mated to German build quality really offer an unbeatable package. A very good car, and highly collectible.

1973 Ford Mustang Fastback Mach 1 Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 3F05F213052
Estimate: £18,000 - £25,000
The Ford Mustang was successfully introduced in April 1964 as the sporty “Pony car” to attract younger buyers into Ford products. After a few years of development, Ford saw the need to create performance Mustangs to compete with some of their more sporty rivals. Introduced in August 1968 as a package for the 1969 model year, the Ford Mustang Mach 1 was the performance-oriented option package designed to do just that, and it did so brilliantly. The Mach 1 title adorned performance-oriented Mustang offerings until the original retirement of the moniker in 1978. However, due to its widespread success Ford re-introduced the Mach program in 2003 as a high performance version of the SN95 platform and due to the fantastic design characteristics of the 69’ model, many of its traits were carried over and integrated into the new design. Perhaps one of the most highly factory optioned Mustangs around, this Mach 1 is presented in a sporty and iconic blue-grey colour combination. Fitted with beautiful American Racing Torq-Thrust alloy wheels wrapped in Winston GT white letter radial tyres, the car really does look the part with all round condition to match. The car carries with it a high degree of originality with its original factory colour and equipment. The 302 however has been upgraded from its original Fcode 2-barrel engine to a 4-barrel configuration with the addition of a Edelbrock carburetor and inlet manifold. Further enhancements include the fitting of a complete new set of Mach 1 seat covers, new door cards, carpet set, dash top, front and rear spoilers and a stainless steel dual exhaust. The suspension and steering has undergone refurbishment including the fitting of various steering components and has had new shock absorbers fitted all round including air-shocks to the rear. One of the most iconic cars of its time, the Mach 1 still retains its mantle as being one of the best looking. Described as feeling strong, driving superbly and of course sounding emphatic, the remarkable overriding feature of this car is its originality. One of the cheapest ways to get your hands on a true American Classic. This is one “muscle car” that should not be missed.

The Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd. was based in Coventry from 1919 through to 1967 and, in addition to motorcars designed for the civilian market, they also produced racing cars, aircraft engines and armoured cars together with armoured fighting vehicles. After becoming a subsidiary of Rover in 1965, car manufacturing ended although armoured vehicle manufacturing continued. Alvis became part of British Leyland and then, sadly in 1982, was sold to United Scientific Holdings which renamed itself Alvis Plc. This Firefly, fitted with attractive Cross and Ellis four seat Tourer coachwork, has been in the current long term ownership for over 20 years, and has benefitted from a restoration in the 1990s. The car presents well, the ride and handling are said to be very good, the car is equally happy in the lanes or on faster A-roads. Finished in British Racing Green, and complete with hood bag and tonneau cover, this is a very attractive usable pre-war Tourer which we are sure will provide a huge amount of fun for its lucky next owner.

1990 Lamborghini Countach Anniversary - one owner for 25 years Under 400 miles from new Registration Number: EU Registered
Chassis Number: ZA9C005A0KLA12031
Estimate: £370,000 - £390,000
Few would deny that Lamborghini’s Countach is the quintessential supercar of its era. It was built by a talented and passionate team of designers and engineers with the purpose of being the most extrovert and outrageous of cars available for the street. As a replacement for the fabulous Miura this was a tall order, but there can be no doubt that it succeeded and even today, though there are more modern cars and faster cars, the Countach will draw people’s attention like nothing else. The stunning styling was by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini and when the first prototype was revealed as project 112, one of the factory workers exclaimed Countach, a local Piemontese expletive, politely translated as Wow! The name stuck. Incorporating much race car technology, it was an automotive tour de force. With its back-to-front, longitudinally mounted, V12 engine and gearbox, independent double wishbone suspension all round and rigid space frame, it was easily the fastest production car around, reaching a claimed 190mph. Like its predecessor, the car quickly found favour with enthusiastic drivers and wealthy playboys alike. One of Lamborghini’s most loyal customers was Formula One race team owner, Walter Wolf, who owned several examples, one of which was modified for him by the factory to be quicker still. Suspension revisions allowed the fitting of much wider wheels mounted with Pirelli’s brand new P7 tyre, designed especially for this car. Flared wheel arches sprouted from the flanks and at the front an air dam was fitted, while a huge delta wing sprouted from the rear bootlid. With engine modifications, Wolf reckoned his car was fast enough to be competitive at Le Mans. Lessons learned from Wolf’s car were put into practice with the introduction of the S variant, essentially a cosmetic replica. 667 units came off the production line at Sant Agata before the Diablo was scheduled to replace it in 1990. It wasn’t ready however so the ‘Anniversario’ stepped up to the plate. Based on the current QV chassis, much had changed. The front and rear bumpers were re-designed, now with extra cooling vents for the front brakes. Sills had additional cooling streaks for the rear brakes and more cooling could be found on the rear shoulders. The suspension was modified in order to accommodate the new Pirelli P Zero tyres and OZ split-rim wheels and all modifications were executed under the watchful eye of champion racing driver, Sandro Munari.

Purchased in August 1990 directly from the factory, this fabulous matching numbers example of the 25th Anniversary was owned by the same enthusiast from 1990 to 2015. The Countach has now covered a mere 625 kilometres from new, at the hands of two careful owners, and has just enjoyed a comprehensive service by the Lamborghini Centre Belgium, to the tune of â‚Ź18,000. As such, and bearing in mind the extremely low mileage, this immensely impressive car is said to be in as new, factory condition, both on the inside and outside. Offered with both keys, relevant Lamborghini Manuals, Service Book and proof of matching numbers, this is effectively a brand new, barely run in Lamborghini Countach. This incredible car provides a genuinely once in a lifetime opportunity for the true enthusiast.

1921 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost – London to Edinburgh Style Tourer Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 48CE
Estimate: £340,000 to £390,000
When highly gifted engineer Henry Royce built his first motor car in 1904, it was possessed of exceptional mechanical quality and silent running. This 10HP model, powered by a twin cylinder 1.8 litre engine, caught the attention of the Hon C.S. Rolls who had a successful London-based specialist car agency; the pair duly became partners and the rest, as they say, is history. The first fruit of the partnership was the 20HP, which won the 1906 Tourist Trophy race, and soon two, three, four and six cylinder models became available. The latter, however, the 30HP, suffered crankshaft problems and Royce thus decided to design an all new engine.
The following year it was introduced in the 40/50 at the Olympia Motor Show where it caused a sensation. Using twin iron blocks with an alloy crankcase, the 7046cc six cylinder, side valve engine featured a seven bearing crankshaft, integral cylinder heads, roller cam followers, full pressure lubrication, twin plugs per cylinder and dual magneto and coil ignition. Breathing through Royce’s own carburettor, it produced 50hp at a lowly 1500rpm allied to tremendous torque and unrivalled smoothness, ahead of anything else at the time; using a clutch and four speed gearbox in unit with the engine, it was also capable of 55mph. The 40/50’s ladder frame chassis was immensely strong too, with semi-elliptic spring suspension all round, while a footbrake operated on the transmission and a handbrake on the rear-only drums.

Orders flooded in, despite a price of £895, and by 1908 the Silver Ghost - so renamed after the striking silver plating and paintwork of the 13th 40/50 produced - was Rolls-Royce’s only model. For 1909 capacity increased to 7248cc and the gearbox changed to a three speed unit - it reverted to four speed with direct top in 1914 - and two years later a torque tube drive was fitted while power rose to 58hp. The latter was instigated for the Scottish Reliability Trial which saw a Silver Ghost run from the south coast to Scotland entirely in top gear; soon after, the Ghost was advertised as ‘The Best Car in the World’. Cars subsequently prepared for the 1913 Austrian Trial, incidentally, could top 80mph. By the time private Ghost sales resumed in 1919, power had increased to 70hp at 2200rpm and a chain-driven starter motor and dynamo were standard. Four wheel brakes appeared in 1923 and Autovac fuel feed system in 1924. Production ended in 1925 after 6173 examples of what has become the epitome of the Rolls-Royce motor car had been built. Capable of extraordinary high mileages and reliability, even when abused, it was the Silver Ghost above all others that earned the titled ‘The Best Car in the World’.

Arguably one of the most desirable and iconic coachwork designs on the Silver Ghost chassis was the London to Edinburgh open tourer, with its sleek lines and very attractive appearance. Chassis No 48CE was completed in March of 1921 and shipped directly to the United States. Early records of the car are sparse, but it did appear in the 1968 RROC directory, listed as the property of Mr William D Small of St Louis, with the car listed as a Locke camp wagon at the time. In more recent times, the car was extensively restored by Silver Ghost expert Jonathan Harley, listed in his excellent book The Silver Ghost. The coachwork was replaced with a beautifully proportioned London to Edinburgh style body, finished in light grey and trimmed in black button leather and has the lovely Rudge-Whitworth wheels fitted at great expense. The mechanical aspects were also completed to the highest standard, ensuring the car drives exactly as it should. It is a pleasure to drive and beautifully prepared. This superbly finished Silver Ghost really has to be seen to be appreciated.

1967 Aston Martin DB6 Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: DB6/3205/R
Estimate: £280,000 - £325,000
If you want a truly British driver’s car, the ultimate development of a continuous line of thoroughbreds from the Vintage era to the present day, there is nothing in quite the same field as the Aston.’ – Motor on the DB6, 26th November 1966. Last-of-the-line models are always sought after by discerning collectors and few are more highly prized that the final flowering of the glorious ‘David Brown’ six-cylinder series, considered by many to be the last of the ‘real’ Aston Martins. Culmination of this long-running line of ‘DB’ sports saloons, the DB6 was introduced in 1965. Recognizably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. The wheelbase was now 4” longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with moreraked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance, but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds.
‘The tail lip halves the aerodynamic lift around maximum speed and brings in its train greater headroom and more luggage space,’ revealed Motor magazine, concluding that the DB6 was one of the finest sports cars it had tested. ‘The DB6 with its longer wheelbase and better headroom makes an Aston Martin available to the far wider four-seater market, and the design is in every way superior to the previous model. A purist might have thought that the longer wheelbase would affect the near-perfect balance of the DB5, but if anything the DB6 is better.’ The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed manual gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. This superb example of Aston Martin’s DB6, chassis number DB6/3205/R, is a matching numbers RHD home market car fitted with its original 5 speed ZF manual gearbox.

Although little is known about the early history of the car, comprehensive service and repair records date from 1988 onwards. In 1989 its then owner Mr. Derek Blezard had extensive refurbishment work undertaken at the workshops of Ian H. Moss, the well-known Aston Martin specialist. Work included a full engine rebuild, bodywork repairs and a bare metal respray. From 1993, the new owner Mr Philip Flower arranged for the car to be cared for by marque specialist Desmond Smail in Olney, Bucks. It was at this time that further major works were completed, including a full re-trim in Tan Connolly hide. Subsequent custodians, Mr Mark Longmore and Mr Edward Mier continued to utilise the services of Smail’s for routine and strategic servicing and repair work through to 2005. The car then underwent a 12 month restoration programme.

The current owner purchased the car from Desmond J. Smail in June 2006, immediately following comprehensive restoration of the chassis and coachwork in conjunction with a major mechanical rebuild. Also, at this stage the engine was converted for use with unleaded fuel, a new high output alternator was fitted and the electrical system was converted to modern negative earth standards. The restoration is recorded by way of sequential photographs and detailed technical narrative, all presented in a leather bound folio along with a BMIHT certified copy of the original factory build record and a summary of the service history to date. Since 2006, in addition to diligent levels of care taken by its engineer owner, the DB6 has been serviced and maintained initially by Aston Martin Specialists Trinity Engineering and latterly by Stratton Motors Ltd. of Long Stratton in Norfolk. Comprehensive records are on file to verify the measures taken in maintaining the car in its current condition. The vehicle is currently recording 53,000 miles and has an MOT certificate valid through to June 2017. Over the past 10 years the DB6 has been used carefully but regularly and has taken part in many events and rallies within the UK as well as for continental touring. Included in the sale are a custom tailored indoor cover, an original Aston Martin DB6 Driver’s Instruction Book, Parts Catalogue and Workshop Manual. This is one of the finest examples of this iconic British sports car we have seen and is an opportunity not to be missed.

1963 VW Splitscreen Camper £24,000 restoration recently completed Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 1082811
Estimate: 25,000 - £27,000
The VW Camper has always conjured up images of freedom and adventure, any image of the great outdoors wouldn’t be complete without a ‘Westy’ or ‘Splitty’ in the picture. The Californian West Coast has moved the vision to iconic status as generations have ‘lived the dream’ with endless summers of beaches and surfing. . . . peace and love for the less inclined. This gorgeous example was supplied new in 1963 to San Ontonio, Texas, where it remained for over 50 years. Originally supplied as a Micro-Bus, and, as confirmed by the VW Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen, the van left the factory in the colour scheme it wears today. The VW was located in Texas by the current vendor and brought to the UK, whereupon a detailed restoration was commissioned. As expected bearing in mind the Texan climate, upon peeling back layers of paint the body was incredible solid. After a few minor repairs to the sills, the van was painted back to Sealing Was Red (L53), with a Beige Grey (L472) roof. The 1600cc engine was stripped and rebuilt, and new parts were gathered where needed (such as a new fuel tank, bearings, bushes, window and door seals). The work was entrusted to the well respected Brookside Aircooled VW Specialists, supported by invoices totalling c. £16,000. Now structurally and mechanically sound, the van travelled to highly regarded VW Camper interior specialist VanWurks in Manchester. A complete new interior, in twotone cream and mushroom, was fitted to a very high standard. Echoing the basic layout of the original, the fitout adopted modern materials and added functionality. The specification included a built-in fridge, two-ring hob, sink, “Rock & Roll” fold out bed, picnic table (which stores in the roof), Blaupunkt stereo system and a full alarm system. A complete new roof lining was installed, with sound insulation and additional lighting. Finally the interior was completed with a modern power-management system that provides leisure battery or external hook-up power to all appliances and on-board technology. The PMS also acts as a battery conditioner for vehicle and leisure battery while in storage, and provides 240V outlets in the vehicles for use with other devices. This additional work by VanWurks equated to approximately £8,000. This beautiful eye-catching Camper, described as being in excellent in all respects, really is the best of both worlds; fantastic period looks, with modern reliability and levels of comfort, and brimming with up to date technology. The perfect companion for touring holidays, trips to the coast, festivals or weekends at Goodwood.

2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - Coachwork by Pininfarina Registration Number: Non-EU registered
Chassis Number: ZFFFF60L470153692
Estimate: £70,000- £80,000
‘The Ferrari 599 offers mind-blowing pace and handling. Quite possibly the best Ferrari of its generation. We’ll spare the 911 Turbo the ignominy of comparison times, because the Ferrari has moved the game onto another level. ‘There are the quick cars – those that nip below 10 seconds to 100mph, such as the Lamborghini Gallardo. Then there are the very quick cars, which post 0-100mph times beginning with an eight. But anything under eight seconds belongs to an elite group, and in gaining such membership, the Ferrari 599 has shaken the establishment like nothing in the past 20 years. Its 7.4sec average matches the time we recorded for the Pagani Zonda S. Rest to 60mph takes just 3.7sec.’ – Autocar. Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006, the 599 GTB Fiorano took its name from Ferrari’s famous test track and was the latest in a succession of models named after places associated with the marque such as Modena and Maranello. Its immediate predecessor - the 575 Maranello - had met with a mixed reception, disappointing those that had so admired the 550 Maranello, so Ferrari had some catching up to do in designing the 599. Having favoured the mid-engined layout for its 12-cylinder road cars from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s, Ferrari surprised everyone by introducing the 550 Maranello. The latter’s arrival in 1997 saw the Italian manufacturer return to its tradition of building front-engined V12 two-seater sports cars, resurrecting a line that had remained dormant since the demise of the 365GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ in 1974. The 599 was the latest in this noble line that stretched all the way back to the 250GT SWB of the early 1960s. In designing the 599, Ferrari abandoned the tubular steel chassis of the 550/575, adopting a more advanced and lighter all-aluminium chassis of greatly increased stiffness. Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari’s Frank Stephenson, the 599 with its long bonnet, small cabin, raised haunches and aggressive stance seemed the very definition of the term ‘sports car’. The body’s aerodynamics were developed in the wind tunnel, where hours of testing ensured that the minimum of drag was combined with constant downforce regardless of set up, an important consideration in a 200mph road car. Styling details such as the front brake ducts and hot air outlets behind the front wheelarches recalled the great competizione Ferraris of the past while the tail incorporated Ferrari’s characteristic twin circular lights. The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 599’s 48-valve, 6.0-litre V12 was a reworked version of that found in the Enzo supercar. Developed as part of Ferrari’s Formula 1 programme, the paddle shift gearbox had become a feature of its range-topping sports cars and was available in its latest form for the 599, capable of changing gear in a mere 100 milliseconds. A conventional six-speed gearbox was available also. Although active suspension had long been banned from Formula 1, its development for road cars had continued and the 599 came equipped with SCM magnetorheological ‘semi-active’ dampers. The latter’s damping fluid changes in viscosity almost instantaneously when a magnetic field is applied, thereby altering the suspension characteristics. Damper controls were placed on the Formula 1-style steering wheel together with those for traction control and stability, as was the starter button. The 599’s fortunate driver would find him/herself looking at a central analogue rev counter flanked by a similar speedometer and an electronic display screen for all other functions. Ferrari thoughtfully provided plentiful storage space within the sumptuous leather-trimmed interior. The fabulous and exclusive Ferrari supercar offered here was built in 2007 to left-hand drive specification. Fashionably turned out in Rosso over nero, this stylish F1 GT is as one would expect in very good general condition. Although started and run regularly whilst in storage, this ‘599’ is offered with a very sensible reserve. Interested parties should note that VAT has not been paid on this car will be applicable at the buyer’s local rate.

1939 Daimler DS18 Drophead Coupe by Carlton The only surviving example, and used by Winston Churchill for political campaigns in 1944 and 1949 Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 49531
Estimate: ÂŁ230,000 - ÂŁ260,000
Daimler is one of the few manufacturers that can rightfully claim to have been established from the birth of the motor industry. The company’s traditions of sound engineering, design and good workmanship have been maintained throughout, hardly surprising therefore that Daimler enjoyed a lengthy association with Royalty as suppliers of motor cars. Development of the pre-war Daimler Fifteen culminated with the DB18 model announced for 1939. Independent suspension appeared for the first time on a Daimler and the DB18 featured an enlarged, 2,522cc version of the overhead-valve six first introduced in 1933. Daimler’s customary fluid flywheel, pre-selector gearbox and worm drive rear axle comprised the transmission. Twenty-three DB18 Drophead Coupés were planned to be produced for 1939, but production was soon halted when war broke out. Production resumed in 1945 and continued until 1953, however the factory was demolished during the Blitz of 1940, after only eight of the original cars were built. Five of those eight chassis were destroyed during the attack, leaving only three cars. This is one of those three cars, and the only surviving example. Based in West London, the Carlton Carriage Company was founded in 1924. Their design team was rather sought after in the 1930s for their drophead designs, in addition to coupe-de-ville, continental tourer, sport saloon and 2-seater sports roadster designs. Some of their more admired designs have an art deco flair, whilst others have elements similar to American styles of the period, possibly due to their connections with American manufacturers and clientele. Chassis number 49531 was bodied by the Carlton Carriage Company as a Drophead Coupe, but retained by the Daimler Motor Company for its own use. Daimler used chassis 49531 over a ten year period from 1940 to 1950 for various special occasions. Notably it was loaned to Winston Churchill to assist with his political campaigns in 1944 and again in 1949. The Daimler would be fitted with a load speaker system, and Churchill would sit on the rear deck to address the crowds as he was driven through various cities. The DB18 was deemed appropriate as the relatively compact size of the car ensured crowds could have a good view of their national hero.

Winston Churchill was without doubt one of the most influential and charismatic people in British history, and during the Second World War the driving force against Nazi Germany. Dogged, determined, fiercely intelligent, and incredibly brave, Churchill led the resistance against their enemies, and from Day One was strictly against any sort of negotiated peace or armistice with Germany. His devoted leadership and compelling radio broadcasts helped to inspire and motivate the Allies to victory.

More recently, this superbly stylish motor car enjoyed a huge amount of restoration work by the highly regarded firm Eberhard Thiesen of Hamburg. Established now for over 40 years, Thiesen are one of Europe’s most prestigious classic car dealers and restorers. The restoration work totalled ₏140,000, and truly returned this significant Daimler to its former splendour. The DB18 presents magnificently in two-tone black over silver, with a beautiful Art Deco inspired green leather interior. Let us not underestimate the importance of the car presented here. This is the only surviving pre-war Daimler DB18 Drophead Coupe. This very car enjoyed a role in shaping modern Britain. Presented in stunning condition, what a hugely rewarding prospect for the next custodian.

1936 Alvis Speed 20 DHC coachwork by Vanden Plas Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 13031
Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000
1931 marked the inception of the Speed 20, and it heralded a new departure for Alvis. With a double beam axled chassis, longer and lower than previous models, its appearance rivalled that of Swallow Sidecar’s SS1. At its heart was an enlarged and modified 2,511cc version of the Silver Eagle’s six cylinder engine, and when a synchromesh gearbox was introduced for the 1934 model year it marked the first such fitment on a British car; previously the gearbox had also been in unit with the engine.
At the same time the Speed 20 was also improved with independent front suspension using a transverse leaf spring and wishbones, while later models boasted an increase in capacity to 2,762cc to cope with heavier touring coachwork. In either guise the Alvis Speed 20 was a formidable performer for the time, capable of 80mph, achieving 0-60mph in about 15 seconds via its four speed transmission, and was ranked as one of the best and most refined sports cars available. It also proved popular and successful in competition with a variety of successes to its credit. Production ceased after four years, during which only 1,165 examples were built, the example on offer today being considerably rarer. This is a unique opportunity to buy one of the last remaining Alvis Speed 20 SD Drop head coupe cars with bodywork by Vanden Plas. The chassis left Alvis on 31st October 1935 and the car was completed by Vanden Plas on 1st March 1936 and was sold through Folletts in April 1936. The car is one of 5 produced as a Model SD with drop head coupe body design by Vanden Plas. Probably only 3 remain and is the only car of its type registered in the membership list of the Alvis Owner Club. It has a matching set of chassis, engine and body numbers as confirmed by the Alvis factory build-sheet and Vanden Plas records. A complete record of owners since manufacture is documented.

Mechanically the Speed 20 SD was one of the most advanced cars manufactured in the pre-war years. It had independent front suspension and a gearbox with synchromesh on all gears. The engine was extremely powerful giving the car a top speed of over 90 miles per hour. It is fitted with a high ratio differential which enables it to cruise comfortably in modern traffic. Now nearly 80 years old, this very much still original Speed 20 has over the years had extensive refurbishment in order to keep it in the condition that it is today. The car still drives very well and performs strongly which comes as no surprise considering the vendor personally drove the car over 200 miles in one morning down to our showroom here in London. It uses little oil and has undertaken a trip to the South of France and back without any problem. The matching numbers 2.5 litre engine was completely rebuilt some 14,000 miles ago and runs smoothly and in recent years has had restoration work carried out by Fisher restorations and Red Triangle. The car has also had an in depth inspection of the ash chassis which shows no evidence of decay. More recently the car has a new hood, carpets and trim as well as substantial re-chroming. The bodywork is the original aluminium and was resprayed in 2007 in the dark blue colour of its first registration. Together with the car is a comprehensive documentation of its restoration and accompanying invoices. There is a collection of photographs supporting any restoration.

1953 Jaguar XK120 SE Drophead Coupe Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: S677210
Estimate: £27,000 - £32,000
It was at the 1948 London Motor Show that Jaguar virtually threw the sports car world into turmoil with its stunning XK120. Here was a car with incredible style and looks, a powerful six cylinder engine installed in an outstanding chassis and a remarkably low price, a quarter that of a V12 Ferrari, but with similar performance. At the heart of the William Lyons styled roadster was that all-new 3,442cc twin overhead camshaft XK engine, producing 160bhp via twin SU carburettors, sufficient for 126mph and 0-60mph in 10 seconds. The XK120 became a massive success, both on the road and the track, where it scored numerous victories. The many drivers included Stirling Moss, Peter Walker, Peter Whitehead, Leslie Johnson and lan Appleyard. In XK120C/C-Type form it won Le Mans in both 1951 and ‘53, while its engine was to power three more Le Sarthe winners and a whole host of successful Jaguar models for the next fifty years. Rolling off the production line in May 1953, chassis S677210, a matching numbers XK120 SE Drophead Coupe, was despatched on the 15th May 1953, heading for the US importer Hoffman’s of New York. The car was specified in the rather avantgarde combination of Pastel Green with a Suede Green interior, and a fawn coloured convertible hood. Pleasingly, the XK was fitted from new with the more desirable high compression engine, a useful upgrade. This XK provides an excellent basis for restoration; the engine is said to turn over freely, the chassis is believed to be in excellent condition, whilst the car is offered with a number of spare parts supplied as part of the package. Offered with a title document and relevant UK NOVA certificate, what a fantastic project for the next owner.

1971 Jaguar XJ6 2.8 Manual O/D Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: B IG8791DN
Estimate: £8,000 - £13,000
In 1968 the XJ6 replaced the large and diverse range of Jaguar saloons and soon proved itself to be one of their most significant cars ever. It set new standards in handling, comfort and silence without compromising any of Jaguar’s established attributes such as performance and value. In 1968 Car magazine voted it Car of the Year, whilst in 12 cylinder Daimler form it was voted Best Car in the World. The XJ6 was available with two engine and transmission options, the 4.2 1itre previously available in the 420 or a new 2.8 litre version of the XK unit. Based on the earlier 2.4 litre engine, the new 2.8 could be revved higher than the earlier XK engines because of its nearly square dimensions, whilst an output of 180bhp could propel this relatively heavy car to 118mph with a 0-60mph acceleration time of around 11 seconds. This lovely-looking series 1 XJ6 is an original right hand drive car, made rare by its manual transmission with overdrive. Initially exported to South Africa, the car also spent time in Paris, then back to the UK, again back to South Africa before finally residing back here in the UK all within the same ownership. Presented in Willow Green with a Cream Leatherette interior and with a relatively low odometer reading of just 29,800 miles the car comes with its original book pack, owners manual and passport to service, stamped acordingly to verify this mileage. Rarely do we see right-hand-drive manual XJ 6s come to market, even rarer is one that looks as good as this. For a very reasonable price this is a great opportunity to get you hands on a true British Classic.

1965 Jaguar Mk II 3.4 Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 168729DN
Estimate: £16,000 - £22,000
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 XK 120 (which had already seen 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 road-holding 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. Naturally performance was excellent, respective figures for maximum speed and 0-60mph being 101mph/13.1 seconds, 121mph/9.5 seconds and 125mph/8.5 seconds; it was the 3.4 litre, however, which proved the most popular, offering the best compromise between performance and economy. And notably, as well as being the most successful Jaguar then yet produced, the Mk II was also an enormous hit with the criminal fraternity, perceived as the ultimate getaway car! In competition it was unbeatable too, driven by such greats as Mike Hawthorn, Stirling Moss, Ivor Bueb, Roy Salvadori Archie Scott-Brown and Don and Erle Morlev. Finished in Opalescent Silver Blue with magnolia interior, this very tidy MK II comes to sale having enjoyed a sympathetic restoration and a complete engine rebuild by renowned Jaguar specialists VSE. With a list of receipts totalling over £22,000 it is no surprise that the body, wood and chrome are all described as being in good and smart order along with the usually troublesome floors and sills. The car drives exceptionally well through all the gears, the engine feeling particularly strong with a good turn of speed and fully functioning overdrive on 4th gear.

1959 Jaguar 3.4l XK150 – 39,900 miles from new Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: S827284
Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000
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. 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 which has recently been 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 complete 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 offer this very special XK150 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.

1957 Jaguar XK140 Roadster Competed In Württemberg 16 Consecutive Years Overdrive - German Registered Registration Number: German Registered
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000
This is an extra special Jaguar XK140, not least because it is very well known amongst the European historic rallying fraternity. Over the last 25 years it has played a major role in classic rallies, including the Württemberg Classic where it has participated for 16 consecutive years. While it is said to be extremely reliable and well proven on long distance outings, the car is also extremely quick as it’s fitted with a C-Type cylinder head, special exhaust manifolds and overdrive. The car’s condition is modestly described by the current owner as “good in all respects”, and with beautiful red paint with black leather interior it is offered for sale with some rallying modifications such as a louvered bonnet and a quick-filler cap. This XK comes with German road papers and is ready to go.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8-Litre Roadster Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 879574
Estimate: £85,000- £100,000
Introduced in 3.8-litre form in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared, with instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. Its design owed much to that of the racing D-Type: a monocoque tub forming the main structure while a tubular spaceframe extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the 3.8-litre, triple-carburettor, ‘S’ unit first offered as an option on the XK150. An optimistic 265bhp was claimed, but whatever the installed horsepower, the E-Type’s performance did not disappoint; firstly, because it weighed around 500lb (227kg) less than the XK150 and secondly because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car. This matching-numbers ‘Series 1’ E-Type roadster was delivered new to the USA in June 1963 and sold via Jaguar Cars, New York to its first owner, one E C Reicholderfer. The accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate records the original exterior finish as Opalescent Golden Sand - a rare colour - with Tan interior and Sand hood. While in the USA the E-Type benefited from extensive refurbishment, being treated to a bodywork restoration at MAACO (1990-94); new leather, carpets and Hardura trim from G W Bartlett (1990); new windscreen (1991); new body and trim seals from XKs Unlimited (1991); and re-plated brightwork by Classic Chrome (1992). More recently, in June 2012, the car had the exhaust replaced in the USA and underwent full re-commissioning, the engine, drive train, paint, trim, electrics, suspension and steering all receiving attention. There is a detailed 8-page printout of a $20,000 bill in the extensive file of US history, and the car also comes with handbooks, a UK V5C registration document and an MoT certificate valid until February 2017. Running well, it represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of these iconic British sports cars finished in a particularly rare and highly desirable original colour scheme.

1953 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe Registration Number: UK registered

Estimate: ÂŁ125,000 - ÂŁ150,000
It was at the 1948 London Motor Show that Jaguar virtually threw the sports car world into turmoil with its stunning XK120. Here was a car with incredible style and looks, a powerful six cylinder engine installed in an outstanding chassis and a remarkably low price - a quarter that of a V12 Ferrari with similar performance. The combination was unbeatable and without doubt the Jaguar XK120 was an absolute milestone for both Jaguar and the motor industry as a whole. At the heart of the William Lyons styled roadster was that all-new 3,442cc, twin overhead camshaft XK engine producing 160bhp via twin SU carburettors - sufficient for 126mph and 0-60mph in 10.0 seconds. To further push the performance point home, in October 1948, with an aeroscreen and aluminium undershield the only modifications, an XK120 recorded 132.6mph for the flying mile in Jabekke, Belgium, making it indisputably the fastest off-the-shelf production car in the world. The XK120 was also endowed with fine road holding, its steel body - the originally planned limited production run used alloy bodies - clothing a shortened MkV chassis employing independent torsion bar/wishbone front suspension and a semi-elliptic leaf-sprung rear axle, while brakes were all round drums. The XK120 became a massive success both on the road and the track where it scored numerous victories. Many drivers raced the XK120 including Stirling Moss, Peter Walker, Peter Whitehead, Leslie Johnson and Ian Appleyard; indeed, in XK120C/C-Type form it won Le Mans in both 1951 and 1953 and its engine was to power three more Sarthe winners and a whole host of future Jaguars. The XK120 we have for sale here is a desirable right hand drive drophead coupe. The car has had only two owners since it left the factory on 5th December 1953 and was delivered to Mr James Wood in Worthing Sussex. It comes complete with full ownership and some service history spanning 60 years. This matching numbers car comes with a Jaguar heritage certificate. A thorough restoration lasting 4 years has recently been completed including a full engine rebuild and a photographic record of the restoration process is available to the new owner. It is therefore no surprise that the vendor describes the general condition of the car to be excellent. The car is presented in the stunning combination of grey with contrasting red hide interior. One of the finest examples of this legendary Jaguar that can be found on the market today and surely an opportunity not to be missed. :

1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 Litre Roadster Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 1E13646
Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000
On its Geneva Show debut in March 1961 the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation, with all the promise of its looks confirmed by a 150mph top speed and 0-60 and 0-100mph in 6.9 and 16.2 seconds respectively; fast indeed. Such impressive figures and combined with superb handling and a very amenable character, made for a hugely successful car. In October 1964 it was superseded by the 4.2 litre model; apart from the capacity increase from 3,781cc to 4,235cc and improved torque but the same power, it boasted a new all synchromesh gearbox, improved brake servo and seats, an alternator and the dashboard was now leather faced rather than aluminium dashboard. Motor magazine road tested an E-Type 4.2 in 1964. They summarized it as “The new 4.2 supersedes the early 3.8 as the fastest car Motor has tested. The absurd ease which 100mph can be exceeded in a ¼ mile never failed to astonish. 3,000 miles of testing confirms that is still one of the world’s outstanding cars.” This example of Jaguar’s legendary E type is a Series 1 4.2 roadster and with this specification makes it one of the most sought after E type models. Originally a US car but with triple SU carburettors. The engine is said by the vendor to be in excellent condition and that the bodywork and chassis are also good. This E-Type would benefit from having new paint work and allow the new owner to turn this into a fine example. It comes with an extensive history file and a heritage certificate and is a wonderful opportunity to own the classic British open topped sports car and a ‘60s icon.

1935 Jaguar SS1 Sports Tourer Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 248806
Estimate: ÂŁ65,000 - ÂŁ70,000
With its shield-shaped radiator grille, fold-flat windscreen, voluptuous dual cowl scuttle, sloping tail, full flowing wings, cut-away doors, heavily louvered bonnet / chassis side rail covers and sleek blade bumpers, the SS1 Sports Tourer was arguably among the best-looking British cars of the 1930s. Thoroughly revised for the 1934 season, the open four-seater featured a cruciform-braced 9ft 11in wheelbase chassis complete with underslung rear axle, all-round semi-elliptic leafsprung suspension. Powered by a choice of uprated 16hp or 20hp straight-six engines allied to improved four-speed manual transmission (with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears), the newcomer also sported a well-stocked dashboard, sunburst-pattern door cards and sculpted leather upholstery. Despite the range’s obvious charms, total S.S. 1 production for 1935 across the Tourer, Coupe and Saloon derivatives amounted to just 948 cars.
According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example – chassis 248806 – was manufactured on February 6th 1935 and was despatched the following month to Henlys Ltd. of London, the SS1 20hp was supplied new to W. P. Burston Esq. of Chippenham, Wiltshire. Having exported the Sports Tourer to Sweden, its third keeper got as far as refurbishing the chassis and replacement overhead valve SS Jaguar 2.5 Litre straight-six (thought to date from 1936) before a lack of suitable spares saw him `moth ball’ the car for some forty-five years. Sold into the fifth ownership by his son, chassis 248806 was repatriated during early 2011. As a retired engineer, this particular gentleman was pleased to find that the previously restored chassis and engine were in good order (though he dismantled the latter as a precaution). Repaired with new panels as necessary, the bodywork was then stripped to bare metal and treated to a professional respray in Brooklands Green. The trimmer who recreated the Sports Tourer’s upholstery was able to refer to the previous vendor’s similar 1933 SS1, and did a great job.
This lovely Tourer benefits from a new wiring loom, exhaust system, facet fuel pump and wire wheels. The open fourseater also received attention to its fuel tank, brightwork, steering, suspension, instruments and brakes. Offering many of the thrills of a SS100 but with the added bonus of two extra seats, this is a great family touring classic. The car also comes with an MOT which expires November 2016.

1962 Jaguar E-type Series 1 3.8 Roadster Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 850439
Estimate: £120,000- £140,000
There have been few better summaries of the E-Type’s manifest virtues than the forgoing, penned by the inimitable John Bolster for Autosport shortly after the car’s debut. Conceived and developed as an open sports car, the Jaguar E-Type debuted at the Geneva Salon in March 1961 in Coupé form. The car caused a sensation - spontaneous applause breaking out at the unveiling - with its instantly classic lines and a 150mph top speed. The newcomer’s design owed much to that of the Le Mans-winning D-Type sports-racer, a monocoque tub forming the main structure while a tubular spaceframe extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the 3.8-litre, triple-carburettor, ‘S’ unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. Its engine aside, only in terms of its transmission did the EType represent no significant advance over the XK150, whose durable four-speed Moss gearbox it retained. With a claimed 265bhp available, E-Type’s performance did not disappoint; firstly, because it weighed around 500lbs less than the XK150 and secondly because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car. Taller drivers though, could find the interior somewhat lacking in space, a criticism addressed by the introduction of foot wells (and other, more minor modifications) early in 1962. Today, the E-Types graceful lines live on in modern Jaguar sports cars, and there can be little doubt that William Lyons’ sublime creation would feature in any knowledgeable enthusiast’s ‘Top Ten’ of the world’s most beautiful cars of all time. Manufactured in 1962, this original right hand drive ‘Series 1’ was supplied new via Jaguar Cars, and has always remained in the UK. In its last ownership for over two decades this particular series one roadster is finished in its original Body colour of gun metal. The car was restored some 25 years ago , and can still only be described as in excellent general condition. This wonderful example is certainly worthy of closer inspection.

1977 Jaguar XJC Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 2G1475BW
Estimate: £18,000 - £25,000
The XJC is a rare two-door version of the XJ6 four door saloon. When Sir William Lyons began styling exercises for the new XJ models in the mid 1960’s, it was obvious that he had notions of a two-door coupe in mind for eventual production. Many of the early mock-ups were based on the two-door theme in various shapes forms and sizes. The XJC was the last Jaguar car to be designed and built by Sir William Lyons. In 1969, Sir William took a reject 2.8 litre RHD XJ6 body shell and fashioned it into the XJC. It was tried with both 4.2 and 5.3 engines with both versions becoming known as XJ33 or XJ34, depending on which engine was on board at the time. Automatic and manual gearboxes were also tried using both engines. However, the Jaguar public would have to wait until the introduction of the series II models and well into this series, before production XJC’s could be seen. They were first shown in September and October of 1973 at the London, Paris and Frankfurt Motor Shows. It was announced that both 4.2 litre (6 cylinder) and 5.3 litre (12 cylinder) versions would be available for the 1974 model year. Nevertheless, the result is a car that although not as quiet as a regular saloon, is still reasonably so. In the UK market, air and manual transmission were optional, as were the choice of leather or cloth seats. All coupes were equipped with a black vinyl roof as standard equipment, except for the one which was specially produced for Jaguars Andrew Whyte. The actual reason for the standard vinyl roof was not clear, but contrary to urban legend it was not because there was a welded seam in the roof! Most likely it was because the marketing department insisted on it, vinyl roofs were the flavour of the month in the automotive industry at that time. Sadly the production of the XJC was all too short. After commencement in 1975 the last of these great vehicles rolled off the line in November 1977 although the final 96 coupes were actually badged as 1978 cars. This very tidy right hand drive XJ C 5.3 V12 presented in Squadron Blue with Blue Leather interior was first registered in September 1977. Purchased from Michael Moore Specialist Cars in Surrey and coming with an extensive history and paperwork file the car has been lovingly privately owned from 1990 by one keeper. With extras including: electric Windows, heated rear windscreen, climate control, Burr Walnut trim, Grundig Radio and Tape Deck, this car was one of the most luxurious of its time. Rear brake discs, pads and hoses and handbrake pads were replaced in 2010, and in 2011 the brake master cylinder and rake hoses were changed along with

1990 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: SAJJNADW306171857
Estimate: £11,000 - £15,000
The XJ-S had been under development since 1968 and as a 2+2 fixed head coupe was intended as a replacement for the now legendary E-type. From the beginning it was only available with the V12 engine which gave excellent performance with 0-60mph being dispatched in a very respectable 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 150mph. Later in the XJ-S’s life it was also available with a six cylinder engine and a manual gearbox. As with any vehicle that has had as long a production life as the XJ-S there have been major developments. One of the more significant ones for the XJ-S was the launch of the convertible in May 1988. The XJ-S convertible we have for sale here is an original UK specification right hand drive car with the classic 5.3 V12 engine and automatic transmission. It benefits from the addition of official Jaguar rear seats which were added at a cost of over £2,000 and make this a more practical proposition. This fine example has been in the same ownership for the last 20years and has been fastidiously maintained. The Speedo had a documented change at 55,244 and the current mileage shows a little over 19,000. Total documented mileage is therefore 75,000 miles. It has full official Jaguar service history and was subject to a service 500 miles ago. The car looks extremely elegant in Sage Green with matching Green tinted windows and a Brown Mohair hood. The general condition of this XJ-S convertible is described by the vendor as being excellent. In the current market the Jaguar XJ-S represents exceptional value for money and surely represents the ideal way to enjoy open air motoring whilst still maintaining the gentleman’s club effect. The private number plate ‘H2 BNC’ is included in the sale.

1953 Jaguar XK140 SE Drophead Coupe Registration Number: EU Registered
Chassis Number: 807093
Estimate: £90,000 - £100,000
The XK120 set new standards in car design and manufacture, but some of Jaguar’s suppliers needed time to catch up – they were not used to making lights and brakes for 120+ mph cars. It is to Jaguar’s credit that it ran a development programme which continued to within months of the last XK150. When the XK140 was announced in 1954 it was essentially a Mk II version. It retained the excellent dynamics of the XK120 and its superb level of appointment and attention to detail. Engine power increased to 190bhp; there were stiffer torsion bars and improved lights, cooling, brakes and steering.
The main improvement, however, was moving the engine and scuttle three inches forward which gave better handling and improved cockpit space without compromising the car’s stunning lines. On the coupés models there were additional seats for children but – nice touch – the back squabs were detachable so that an adult could use the space seated across the car. The entire range abounded with clever details such that the XK series is one of the few which truly merit the term ‘great’. Of the three variants the factory offered, the drophead coupé was the least common and just 2,789 were made. With its permanently attached hood (the frame is a minor masterpiece) and wind-up windows, it is an ideal compromise between the more sparsely equipped roadster and the fixed-head coupé. All three models were outstanding, however, and only the most expensive exotica could match them either under real driving conditions or for kerbside presence. Taking into account reliability, refinement and sheer pleasure of driving, the XK140 was one of the outstanding cars of its day and it remains one of the greatest classic cars.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 Litre Fixedhead Coupe Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 889653
Estimate: £70,000 - £80,000
On its 1961 Geneva Show debut the E-Type caused a sensation, with all the promise of its looks confirmed by independent road test results that not only recorded a 150mph top speed, but also 0-60mph and 0-l00mph in 6.9 and 16.2 seconds respectively; fast indeed, and the match of any exotic thoroughbred then available, combined with superb road-holding and remarkable docility. One of the greatest post-war sports cars, Jaguar’s E-Type made immediate headlines on its launch in March 1961. Here was a sleek and beautiful 150mph car with a competition pedigree that could be bought for just over £2,000, almost half the cost of an Aston Martin or Ferrari. A direct descendant of the XK120 and competition C and D-Type models that so dominated fifties sports car racing, the E-Type shared its 265bhp 3.8 litre twin-cam straight-six engine with the XK150 ‘S’, mated to a Moss four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. Beneath the William Lyons/Malcolm Sayer-styled body, available in either closed or roadster form, the steel monocoque chassis sported all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, mounted inboard at the back. The Series 1 for sale here looks fantastic, finished in white with a black interior. Originally a US car but with triple SU carburettors. It was subject to a restoration within the last ten years and described by the vendor as being both great to drive and in generally very good condition. With only 55,000 miles showing on the clock, matching numbers and coming complete with a heritage certificate, this would be a superb buy for anyone looking for a Series 1 E-Type that is ready to be driven and enjoyed.

Since the launch in 1961 of the Jaguar E-Type it has received many accolades supporting its legendary design and power; including Enzo Ferrari who described the E-Type as, ‘the most beautiful car in the world’. As with all motorcars that underwent progressive design and improvement, the Series II E-Type benefitted from open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators, tail lights below the bumpers and more comfortable seats. Standard Series II upgrades also included uprated brakes and twin electric fans enabling better cooling.
Like the late series 1½ cars, the engine is easily identified by the change from polished to ribbed cam covers and whilst the US specification cars were detuned with twin Strombergs and larger valve clearances, the UK cars retained triple SU carburettors Matching numbers and purchased new from Jaguar agents Herrington Motors, New York in 1969 by Miss Sarah J Hammer, this particular E-type was used up to 1985 when unfortunately through illness Miss Hammer was no longer able to use it. The car was stored in her garage until 2015. Upon repatriation to the UK, the car was subject to light recommissioning. Work included replacing essentials such as a new hood, stainless steel exhaust, fuel pump, brake and clutch master cylinders and brake servo unit, battery, carburetor overhaul, service and of course the fitment of five new original Dunlop SP Sport tyres, (Invoices are available in the cars file). The car is accompanied with its original tools, handbooks, service book, numerous invoices, a NOVA Certificate confirming all UK taxes paid, recent MOT Certificate and Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming its originality. There is also a letter from Miss Hammer confirming that she was the original and sole owner and the 45000 mileage is warranted as genuine.

The XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drophead coupé forms; the open roadster version didn’t appear until the following year. At 190bhp, the engine’s maximum power output was identical to that of the XK140, so performance was little changed. ‘Special Equipment’ and ‘S’ versions came with 210 and 250bhp respectively, the latter delivering an astonishing 0-60mph time of 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 136mph. This was achieved by the introduction of the Weslake-developed ‘straight-port’ cylinder head, high-compression pistons, triple 2” SU carburetors and twin electric fuel pumps. The car regularly recorded in excess of 130mph in magazine road tests. ‘The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world’s fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable… we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money,’ declared The Autocar. Supplied new in 1958, the wonderful matching numbers XK150 S Open Topped Sports version on offer today has enjoyed a detailed restoration in 2008, which included a repaint and replacement convertible hood.

1975 Steadman TS100 “ Jaguar” Sports Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 3A2088DN
Estimate: £10,000 - £15,000
The Steadman Jaguar TS100 is a rare British sportscar that was designed and built by Ottercraft in Cornwall during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. It was never intended to be a replica of the SS100 built by Swallow Sidecars in the 1930’s. It was produced as an exclusive hand-built aluminium bodied turnkey sportscar in its own right, using more modern mechanical parts and build methods.
A number of other attempts have been made to build a car in the style of or replicating the original SS100, but in most cases their styling differed considerably. Many did not use Jaguar mechanical parts and were purposefully designed kit cars with fibreglass bodies. The lower chassis sub-assembly refltects the standard twin rail design of the 1930s, with cross bracing added to improve tortional stiffness. The upper subassembly is constructed using both round & square section tubing, as opposed to a wooden ash frame. This provide a strong, secure passenger cell to which the aluminium bodywork is attached and is also fitted with a heavy aluminium firewall between the engine bay & the cockpit. The cars are fitted with either 2.8, 3.8 or 4.2 litre Jaguar XJ6 DOHC inline 6-cylinder engines, with manual or automatic transmissions. Similarly, the front and rear suspension, brakes and steering are also taken from the Jaguar XJ6. Only 28 Steadman TS100’s were built before the bank foreclosed the company in 1991. The following, is an edited and updated article, originally written by Ottercraft, circa 1989, describing the rationale for the building of the TS100.)

“A handcrafted, aluminium bodied, Jaguar based thoroughbred, British built in the best British tradition.We make no claim that the Steadman TS100 is a replica. In appearance, however, it is a faithful reproduction of the SS-Jaguar of the 1930’s. We could very easily have produced a car that was authentic in almost every detail – but what would have been the point? It would neither have been a true SS100, nor a modern car, but a modern fake with all the disadvantages (except the looks) of a car built 75 odd years ago. We maintain therefore, that those changes which we have decided to make at the time, in the light of 50 years of development in the design, layout and construction of motor cars since the SS100 was first built, have resulted in an altogether better car. But we steadfastly retained the poise, balance and lines – and above all the individuality – of the breathtakingly beautiful car conceived by ‘Bill’ Lyons so long ago.” This lovely example in red with black interior has the highly desirable 4.2 V12 Jaguar engine fitted. With automatic transmission, this is a fun and fast road car with volumes of torque. These are indeed rare and provide any incumbent with exhilarating performance with the style and elegance of the original SS100 Jaguar but at a fraction of the price. Not to be missed!

Following on from the hugely successful E-Type Jaguar introduced the XJS in 1976. Although not quite as sporting as the E-Type, the XJS was a very capable grand tourer and its slick body shape meant it was more aerodynamic than its predecessor. Power came from Jaguar’s V12 engine which was a relatively exotic engine configuration for the time and usually reserved for Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The XJS faired very well against its Italian counterparts with a 0-60mph time of 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 143mph. From July 1981 the XJS became the XJS HE and received the new High-Efficiency engine for much better economy. In 1982, the new V12 XJS HE won first and second at the RAC Tourist Trophy race at Silverstone. The Lynx Motor Company was founded in 1968 by engineer Guy Black and architect Roger Ludgate. Originally formed to repair and maintain specialist sports and racing cars but they quickly made their name restoring and maintaining original Jaguar C-Types, D-Types and E-Types. Lynx converted the XJS from Coupe to convertible in response to customer demand several years before Jaguar themselves were offering the car in this open body style. Each conversion took ten weeks to complete as the donor car had to be significantly re-engineered to retain sufficient strength in the structure. The XJS Lynx Spider offered here is an ultra-rare manual V12 which is believed to be the only one existence according to the current owner. It has benefitted from having a new electric roof and re upholstered seats which were done in 2013 and is described as being in overall good condition by the vendor. The car looks resplendent in a darker shade of red and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. With the roof down and the V12 on song, it is the perfect car to make the most of the British summer. At no reserve this surely is a must!

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 out-and-out sports car like the preceding EType, 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 fuel-efficient 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.

1987 Mercedes Benz 300SL Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: WDB1070412A073313
Estimate: £17,000- £20,000
Without question the Mercedes Benz SL W107 series, built from 1971 to 1989 is fast becoming an appreciating classic and rightly so, it’s a beautiful, stylish car. Values are on the up for the best examples and it is hardly surprising when you see the prices and demand for the earlier SL W113 soring to new record levels. However, in reality the W107 is arguably a better car to own and drive than its predecessor making it a perhaps a more sensible investment right now. Regardless of engine size the key factor in considering which W107 to purchase is its overall condition and I am pleased to say with the example for sale here you will struggle to find better. E846 KBL is in outstanding condition, helped no doubt but it relatively low mileage of just 85,000 and good service history. The example on offer today is truly stunning, finished in Artic white with a lovely contrasting blue and a blue chequer pattern interior. The overall condition of this car makes it special as it is very hard to find examples that have not been messed around with over the years. Fortunately, with E846 KBL it is quite clear when looking around the car that it has had a very charmed life and has been maintained to a high standard. The service book shows a continuous record of service from 1600 miles to 79,956 miles from both main dealer and specialists. The interior is almost unmarked, feels fresh and firm. The hood is blue in colour and there is also the original colour coded ‘coupe’ hardtop with stand supplied. On the driving side, everything is as it should be, first turn of the key (after you have disabled the alarm) and the engine fires up first time and immediately settles to a nice burble. Select drive and away you go, it’s an incredibly smooth and comfortable car to drive but when required has enough punch from the 3 litre engine to make things fun and sporting. These cars are renowned for their reliability and with a sensible programme of maintenance E846 KBL will no doubt give you years of trouble free and fun motoring. E846 KBL comes with 3 sets of keys with alarm fobs fitted to all of them, a current red style UK V5C, a current MOT valid until November 2016, its service maintenance booklet, original owner’s manual and its fitted Kenwood radio manuals.

1957 Heinke Kabine Cruiser Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 483145
Estimate: £11,000 - £14,000
After World War 2 the Heinkel Flugzeugwerke Company no longer built aircraft and instead concentrated on building micro cars and motorcycles. The Heinkel Kabine microcar was built between 1956 and 1958. Production began in March 1956 with the Kabine Model 150, using the 174cc 9.2 hp single cylinder fourstroke engine that powered the Heinkel Tourist scooter. Later in that same year Heinkel introduced the Kabine Model 153 which had three wheels and the Kabine Model 154 which had four wheels. Both of these newer models had 204cc engines which later had to be reduced to 198cc for insurance purposes. The Kabine has a steel body and access to the interior is gained by an opening front. In order not to infringe Iso Rivolta’s patent used on the Isetta, the steering wheel did not hinge outwards with the door to ease passenger access. However, it did feature a reverse gear, unlike some other bubble cars. The fabric sun roof served as an emergency escape hatch should the sole door in front become jammed in a collision. This 1957 German specified Model 150 is believed to be one of the first to have been assembled at the Lincoin and Noble factory in Dublin prior to full production taking place in Dundalk in 1958. It was subject to an extensive restoration 8 years ago and since been kept dry in a garage and used only sparingly at national rallies. The vendor describes it as being in excellent condition and it comes with its original logbook, paperwork and manuals. The perfect vehicle to put a smile on your face whilst pottering around town.

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.

2001 Lamborghini Diablo GT 1,100 miles from new and one owner for 14 years Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: ZA9DE21AOYLA
Estimate: £475,000 - £525,000
In June 1985, financed by the Swiss-based Mimram brothers, Lamborghini began the development of what was codenamed “Project 132” as the replacement of the Gandini styled Countach, and was soon to be known as the ‘Diablo’. When introduced in 1990, the Diablo was powered by a 5.7 litre, 48 valve V12 engine; in its time this was the fastest car ever to wield the ‘Raging Bull’ badge. With a mid-mounted engine producing 499bhp, the Diablo was a well balanced and incredibly powerful car that could achieve 0-60mph in little over four seconds and had an unmatchable top speed of 202mph.
Lamborghini’s final take on the Diablo line was the quite staggering Diablo GT. The Diablo GT was a completely raceoriented model differing in nearly every aspect from the more mainstream Diablos. The cars were fitted with radically altered aggressive bodywork, a stripped-down interior and an enlarged engine. With the exclusivity came a large price tag of nearly $300,000 and availability limited to Europe. The Diablo GT was noticeably different on the exterior. While previous Diablo models had differed one from another with subtle fascia refinements or changes in the brake cooling ducts, the Diablo GT opted for an all new black carbon fibre front air dam with large brake ducts and a central vent for the oil cooler (the car still featured driving lamps, the single pair of round units featured on the Diablo VT Roadster). While previous Diablos had tuned and tweaked the 5.7 L engine with various ignition and fuel system upgrades, the Diablo GT opted for a larger-displacement alternative. While the basic V12 block remained the same, the engine was stroked from 80 mm to 84 mm for a new displacement of 6.0 L; This engine, which would later be used in the revised Diablo VT 6.0, produced (in GT trim) 583 PS and 630 N·m of torque. The transmission was the same 5-speed used in other Diablos, but different gear ratios could be specified by the race-oriented buyer. Rear-wheel drive was used to save weight.

1983 Alfa Romeo “Disco Volante” Tribute by Carrozzeria Ferrero Registration Number: EU tax paid
Chassis Number: ZAR115380*02478775
Estimate: £130,000 - £160,000
The Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 “Disco Volante”, commonly known simply as Alfa Romeo Disco Volante (Italian for «Flying Saucer»), is a series of experimental sports racing cars produced between 1952 and 1953 by Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo in collaboration with Milanese coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring. The car was distinguished by streamlined, wind tunnel tested bodywork. Three spiders were made in 1952, with a 2-litre all-alloy four-cylinder engine; a year later one was modified into a coupé, and another one into a more conventional-looking spider. Two more examples were built fitted with a six-cylinder 3.5-litre engine from the Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM racing car. Four of the five cars built in total survive today. The 1900 C52 was originally developed in 1952 to take part to Sport category races. Its fully enveloping aerodynamic bodywork was developed and built together with Carrozzeria Touring, and wind tunnel tested. Studied to achieve a low drag coefficient even in crosswinds, the body featured a lenticular cross-section both viewed from the front and from the side; the underbody was faired-in. According to some the design of the Jaguar E-type has some design cues similar to the Disco Volante. This tribute to the Disco Volante was built by Carrozzeria Ferrero of Milan during the 1990s and it was restored recently. This car was built on the base of an Alfa Romeo Spider “Duetto” 3rd series 2000cc. The body is in aluminium and the 4c Alfa Romeo engine sounds fantastic. It comes with the Italian Libretto of the Alfa Romeo Spider which is based.

Chassis Number: ZFFKC33C00085458
Estimate: £45,000- £55,000
Ferrari’s first effort at building a car suitable for markets throughout the world, the Mondial 8 deployed the 308GT4’s 3.0-litre quad-cam V8 engine in a lengthened version of the latter’s chassis. Transmission and running gear remained much the same, with five-speed transaxle and independent suspension all round. Although reckoned by some to be less sporting than other Ferraris, the Mondial was still good for 140mph-plus and its ride quality and comfort scored over long distances. Considerably more spacious than previous Ferrari 2+2s, the Pininfarina-styled Mondial has been described by Car magazine as ‘the closest you’ll get to supercar family transport.’ This very special Mondial Cabriolet on offer today has covered a mere 20,600 miles from new. Being one of just 51 right hand drive examples produced, it is supplied with a comprehensive service history from new- with 16 documented services. Most importantly the car received a cambelt service at 20,129 miles and was last serviced by Gray Paul at 20,526. It is rare to find such a spectacular car with such provenance and careful ownership, simply stunning.

1973 Ferrari Dino 246GT Coachwork by Scaglietti Design by Pininfarina Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 02940
Estimate: ÂŁ250,000- ÂŁ300,000
It was the need for a production-based engine for the new Formula 2 that led to the introduction of a ‘junior’ Ferrari, the Dino 206GT, at the Turin Motor Show in 1967. Building on experience gained with its successful limited edition Dino 206S sports-racer of 1966, Ferrari retained the racer’s mid-engined layout for the road car but installed the power unit transversely rather than longitudinally. A compact, aluminium-bodied coupe of striking appearance, the Pininfarina-styled Dino – named after Enzo Ferrari’s late son Alfredino Ferrari and intended as the first of a separate but related marque – was powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cam V6 driving through an in-unit five-speed transaxle. The motor’s 180bhp was good enough to propel the lightweight, aerodynamically efficient Dino to 142mph, and while there were few complaints about the car’s performance, the high cost enforced by its aluminium construction hindered sales. A 2.4-litre version on a longer wheelbase – the 246GT – replaced the Dino 206 in late 1969. The body was now steel and the cylinder block cast-iron rather than aluminium, but the bigger engine’s increased power – 195bhp at 7,600rpm – was adequate compensation for the weight gain. A Targa-top version, the 246GTS, followed in 1972. While not quite as fast in a straight line as its larger V12-engined stablemates, the nimble Dino was capable of showing almost anything a clean pair of heels over twisty going. Testing the ultimate V6-engined Dino – the 246GT – in 1972, the authoritative American motoring magazine Road & Track enthused, “it is a thrill to drive a car like the Dino, one whose capabilities are far beyond what even an expert driver can use in most real-world motoring, and that is the Dino’s reason for being. The real joy of a good mid-engined car is in its handling and braking and the Dino shone as we expected it to. The steering is quick without being super quick, and it transmits by what seems a carefully planned amount of feedback exactly what is going on at the tires. Thanks to the layout’s low polar moment of inertia the car responds instantly to it. The Dino’s cornering limits are very high… Truly a driver’s car par excellence.” As the first series-produced, mid-engined Ferraris, the early Dinos are landmark cars, and the line they founded would prove to be an immense commercial success for Maranello. According to the Dino Register the car was Supplied new through a London dealer to the Al Said Family in 1972. It appears again in 1985 with just 28,500 recorded miles changing hands to a Mr Stickland. The car sold again in 1995 still in an unrestored state with a recorded mileage of 35,400. Purchased by the current vendor in 2004 and restored by the world renowned Kent High Performance Cars in 2014-2015 - including detailed engine work, transmission, and of course trim and paint, this matching numbers 246 is very well presented indeed. The car is supplied with a large history file, along with a photographic record of the restoration. A total of just 498 right hand drive Dino GTs were delivered to the UK via Maranello Concessionaires Limited; rarely are they offered on the open market. Less than half the price of a Daytona, and trailing some way behind a 206 GT, this late 1960s Pininfarina designed Ferrari offers terrific value in today’s market.

1974 Fiat Dino Coupè 2400 Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: 0005466
Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000
The Fiat Dino (Type 135) is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by Fiat between 1966 and 1973. The Dino name refers to the Ferrari Dino V6 engine, produced by Fiat and installed on the cars to achieve the production numbers sufficient for Ferrari to homologate the engine for Formula 2 racing. In 1969, both Ferrari and Fiat introduced new 2.4-litre Dino models. The Fiat Dino 2400 premiered in October 1969 at the Turin Motor show; besides the larger engine, another notable improvement was independent rear suspension. The V6 now put out 178 HP and used a cast iron instead of the previous light alloy engine block; the same engine was installed on the Dino 246 GT, Ferrari’s evolution of the 206. Cosmetic changes were comparatively minor.
Both models were now badged “Dino 2400”. On the coupé the previous silver honeycomb grille with the round Fiat logo on its centre had been replaced by a new black grille and a bonnet badge. A host of details were changed from chrome to matte black, namely part of the wheels, the vents on the front wings and the cabin ventilation outlets—the latter moved from next the side windows to the rear window. At the rear there were different tail lights. The spider also sported a new grille with two horizontal chrome bars, 5-bolts instead of knock-off wheels, as well as new bumpers with rubber strips. Inside only the coupé received an entirely redesigned dashboard and new cloth seats, with optional leather seat upholstery; front seat headrests were standard on the coupé and optional on the spider.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Litre Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 11102622002520
Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000
At the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1969, Mercedes-Benz launched the 3.5-litre V8 engine to fill a gap in their range, and fitted it to the existing 300, renaming it the 300 SEL 3.5. It was also available in both fixed head coupe and cabriolet two door body styles, which used the extremely handsome W111 type 280 SE body shell. The new model was distinguishable from its six cylinder predecessors by a lower and wider radiator grille necessary to accommodate the larger V8 motor, which fortuitously greatly improved the style of the frontal aspect. Otherwise, these 280 SE 3.5 models were identical in appearance to the earlier cars, with exposed twin headlights, rounded (rather than the earlier finned) rear wings, and two inches extra width compared to the 220 and 300 saloons of the early 1960s. Underneath there was all-independent suspension and disc brakes front and rear, while the fuel injected 3,499 engine, producing an impressive 200bhp at 5,800rpm and 211 lb/ft at 4,000rpm. It could be was mated to either manual or automatic transmission; whichever was chosen, performance was impressive, the V8 propelling the 280 SE 3.5 to a top speed in excess of 120mph, with 0-60mph reached in under 10 seconds. First registered on the 31st of December 1970, what we have on offer with us here today is an exceptionally rare example of the 280SE 3.5 litre, of which a total of 3797 were produced, of which only a mere 68 are believed to have been right hand drive! Finished in Ivory over Black leather interior, this rare right hand drive example has been subject to an extensive engine rebuild by the renowned Mercedes-Benz specialist Steve Redfern and has been maintained by their workshop ever since. Also under the expert eye of the same man, the car has undergone an interior re-trim as well as minor renovation of the wooden elements where necessary. Provided with the car is an extensive history file which includes 20 MoT’s as well as numerous bills and invoices totalling a staggering £90,000! - A true testament to the cars current condition. A truly excellent car, this lot represents an exceptional opportunity to purchase an extremely rare RHD 280SE 3.5. Offered today at a realistic reserve.

Chassis Number: 0003014

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 lovely original example in grey comes with its Italian registration paperwork. It has a manual gearbox which is great as its matched to its 6 cylinder engine. These were revered in Europe especially and bought by the continental elite to commute to work in style and with a turn of speed.

1978/79 British Touring Car Championship winning Mini 1275 GT Clubman Saloon - Ex Richard Longman Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: XE2D2-463968A
Estimate: £ 130,000 – £ 160,000
The Mini is an icon of British motoring history and has been equally at home carrying out domestic chores as it has been racing around a track or rally stage. In the late 1960s and under the ownership of British Leyland the Mini was given a facelift by stylist Roy Haynes who restyled the car to give it a squarer frontal look. It was named the Mini Clubman and was intended to replace the upmarket Riley and Wolseley versions of the Mini. The new look mini was offered in sporting guise with the introduction of the 1275 GT which replaced the 1275cc Cooper S. It was the first Mini to be equipped with a tachometer and also featured a standard-fit close-ratio gearbox. Performance of the 1275GT was lively for the time, achieving 0–60 mph in 12.9 seconds, and the excellent midrange torque offered a 30–50 mph time in top gear of only nine seconds The Mini 1275 GT we have here, holds a very special place in history. In 1978 with financial backing from British Leyland and Patrick Motors, the racing driver Richard Longman modified and prepared this car to enter it into the British Touring Car Championships. It was entered in all 12 races and won its class in 11 of those races and retired once. As a result Richard Longman took the honours and won the Championship in fine style in this very car. In the subsequent 1979 season Richard Longman took 10 class wins over the 12 races and won the championship once again in this very same car. It is not an overstatement to say this car was at the epicentre of a golden period for the Mini in motorsport. At the end of the 1979 season the car went into storage and didn’t race for the next 30 years until the current owner of the car handed the car back to Richard Longman for him to use at Silverstone for a British Racing Drivers Club track day. The car comes with the RAC Motorsport Division British Leyland race recognition form as well as many items of memorabilia relating to where it raced including tickets, maps and letters. This is a unique opportunity to own a key piece of British Motorsport history and surely not one to be missed.

Th Innocenti Mini was produced under license from Innocenti of Lambrate (Milan) between 1965 and 1975. Compared to the original English, the Innocenti versions (including Cooper) had numerous differences. They had a better equipped interior and were better finished. Various external components were a different shape - for example in the design of the lamp cover, the grille and rear trunk, modified to accommodate the Italian square plates in use at the time. Many special interior and exteriors were produced by Italian brands (for example IPRA for the radiators, basket and SWT as regards the headlights). This lovely LHD example is presented in metallic burgundy with contrasting interior, is offered in good condition having been restored a few years ago.

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000
Ferrari’s most successful model since the 308, the F355 was always going to be a tough act to follow. Its successor needed to be ground breaking and revolutionary; two words which, without doubt the 360 lived up to. Starting with a clean sheet of paper in designing the 360 Modena, the new car attracted superlatives that put even its illustrious predecessor in the shade. Just about the only item carried over from the F355 was its glorious V8 engine, enlarged from 3.5 to 3.6 litres for the 360, producing 400bhp. In every other respect the 360 was entirely new, the most striking break with Ferrari tradition being the body’s frontal treatment; gone was the omnipresent oval grille, replaced by two separate intakes set low into the front wings. A larger car than the F355, the 360 owed its radical new shape to the quest for increased downforce, generating four times as much as its predecessor yet achieving the impressively low Cd of 0.33. There was further innovation beneath the skin: a lighter, stiffer aluminium spaceframe/monocoque replacing the old tubular steel arrangement, resulting in a dry weight around 220lbs less than that of the F355. The 360’s on-the-road dynamics constituted a significant advance, its best time around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track being some three seconds faster than the F355’s. This fabulous example was originally supplied new to Germany with the desirable F1 paddle shift and Ferraro Scuderia shields. Finished in Argento blue with blue Scuro Leather, this example has only done 12,620 miles and represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase a very good example of one of the steadily appreciating 360 Modena F1’s. Interested parties should note that VAT has not been paid on this car will be applicable at the buyer’s local rate.

1924 Bentley 3 / 4.5 Litre Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 735
Estimate: £320,000 - £370,000
One of the great cars of all time, the Bentley 3 Litre was a magnificent milestone machine that led the world on both road and track. That it did so as the first ever production Bentley was no mean feat and a tribute to the engineering excellence that was to become a hallmark of the marque; indeed, it introduced a then hitherto unknown level of performance combined with immense strength and reliability. When in the late 1920s the need for more power became evident, due to both increasing competition on the track and a trend for ever heavier coachwork, Bentley introduced the 4 1/2 Litre model. With a design that was basically two thirds of its existing 6 l/2 Litre six cylinder, the 4 1/2 Litre prototype engine was first tested in the 1927 Le Mans practice car, the latter a 3 Litre chassis, before being transferred to the first 4 1/2 Litre chassis. The original 4½-Litre car, nicknamed by the team ‘Old Mother Gun’ and driven by Frank Clement and Leslie Callingham, promptly set the fastest race lap of 73.41mph before being eliminated in the infamous ‘White House Crash’ multiple pile-up. Driven by Woolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin, ‘Old Mother Gun’ (race number ‘4’) won the famous French endurance classic the following year and finished 2nd in 1929 carrying race number ‘9’, its drivers on that occasion being Glen Kidston and Clive ‘Jack’ Dunfee. 3 Litre chassis number 735 was delivered to Archie J Ballantine, Son of the famous distiller George Ballentine in July 1924 ninety-two years ago. The heritage of Ballantine’s Scotch whisky can be traced back to 1827, when farmer’s son George Ballantine set up a small grocery store in Edinburgh supplying a range of whiskies to his clientele. Business thrived under George’s son George junior, and the family sold out profitably to the firm of Barclay and McKinlay in 1919. And so it came to pass. Five years after the sale of the Blending business, Archibald invested in one of the finest cars of the time, the 3 litre Bentley.

Records show that XU3216 was delivered in July 1924 to Archibald J. Ballantine of G.Ballentine & Sons 1 Craigmillar Park, Edinburgh. Archie enjoyed the car putting considerable mileage on it, having work done through the late 20’s including decarbonising the engine and new valves fitted. The car was serviced by J.A.Hogg & Co of Peebles in 1929. with more work undertaken in 1931. The car had a busy life and in 1932 Service support was moved to Scottish Motor Traction in Edinburgh. The history goes a little cloudy until it was discovered in an interesting “Kit of parts” in June 1998. Still with it’s original engine steering box etc. The chassis had been restored and shortened from 10’ 10’ to 9’ 91/2”. It was inspected by Rod Warriner Restorations and purchased by it’s new owner. At the same time in August 1998 the phoenix Crank, rods and kit was purchased along with a long list of new and refurbished parts to bring XU back to concourse condition. By January 1999 the vehicle was ready to be inspected and the Bentley Drivers Club duly inspected it at Broughton farm and confirmed it’s title to the original registration XU3216. The car was shipped to Australia and over a number of years restored to original condition. The engine has been upgraded to 4 1/2 litres specifications, including a new cylinder block from New Zealand and Phoenix crankshaft and rods. The radiator has been re-cored and a new water pump fitted. The oil pump capacity has been increased and the system now incorporates a full flow oil filter. A new lightweight flywheel has been made and incorporates a modern clutch. The B-Type gearbox has been completely rebuilt with new gears, and it changes gear beautifully. The chassis has been refurbished with one rail replaced. The Vanden Plas replica body has an American Oak frame and is panelled in aluminium. The upholstery is finished in brown leather and the car comes with both full and half tonneau covers. The car has travelled less than 2000 miles since it’s rebuild and has had recent upgrades by Elmdown Engineering including, an Overdrive kit, and wiring for a Monit navigation unit, Aux Cibie lamps along with a modern battery with cut-out and alternator. It has successfully toured from the home-counties to the Scottish Highlands and back without a hitch, and last summer competed successfully in the ERA 2nd Alpine Trial. This touring 3/4½ litre Bentley, presented in Bentley Racing Green is quite simply magnificent. Whilst holding all of the features that brought this car to early fame and fortune, this particular car also has the modern upgrades to make it into a useable and manageable car in any situation. Excellent in condition, both mechanically and aesthetically, what better time to acquire this most classic of British Sports cars.

1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: WPOZZZ91ZHS156202
Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000
The replacement for the SC series came in 1984 named 911 3.2 Carrera, reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977. This was the last iteration in the original 911 series, with all subsequent models featuring new body styling with new brake, electronic and suspension technologies. A new higher-displacement motor, a 3.2-litre horizontally opposed flat 6-cylinder, was utilized. New inlet manifold and exhaust systems were fitted. The 915 transmission was carried over from the SC series for the first three model years. In 1987, the Carrera got a new five-speed gearbox sourced from Getrag, model number G50 with proven BorgWarner synchronizers. This slightly heavier version also featured a hydraulically operated clutch. Three basic models were available – coupé, targa and cabriolet. The Carrera is almost indistinguishable from the SC with the external clue being the front fog lights that were integrated into the front valance. Only cosmetic changes were made during the production of the Carrera, with a redesigned dash featuring larger air conditioning vents appearing in 1986. We’re proud to offer this lovely example in Grand Prix White with Metropole Blue leather, a wonderful original car with a comprehensive service history and with a recent 1st place concours certificate and trophies. The car comes with previous MOTs, owner’s handbooks, tax discs and Smart Track tracking device. These are fast appreciating in value and harks back to those iconic “ yuppie” days of the affluent in the 1980s. Still stunning today as it was then, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

1939 Lancia Astura Tipo 30 Series 2 One of two cars with drophead coachwork by Pinin Farina Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 30-1550
Estimate: £90,000- 110,000
Lancia was once renowned for the creation of technically advanced and individualistic motorcars – a reputation founded on the memorably progressive Lambda series of the 1920s. Larger eight-cylinder models appeared from 1929, the first of which was the 4-litre Dilambda, which followed the firm’s logical train of design with above-average performance, precise steering, and outstanding handling; all of which further fostered a loyal customer base that frequently showed little concern for any marque other than Lancia. The Lambda itself proved to be such a landmark model that in 1931 the company felt required to replace it by not one but a pair of newcomers; namely the four-cylinder Artena and the larger V8-powered Astura.
The chassis of the latter were successfully employed by various carrozzerias to create an array of desirable Coupes, Convertibles and Saloons. As with the preceding Lambda, Lancia developed the Astura though several series – four to be precise. Examples of the first two were powered by the company’s proven 2606cc SOHC mono bloc ‘narrow-vee’ V8 unit of 72bhp. Ignition was by coil, the coolant was circulated by pump and the engine fed by a downdraft Zenith carburettor. The unit drove through a four-speed manual gearbox that featured the then popular feature of a ‘silent’ third gear. The model’s ultimate speed was widely quoted as c.75mph. The Astura continued in production until 1939, receiving a larger capacity (2973cc) and two increases in wheelbase along the way. Little separated the series 1 and 2 cars, of which 496 and 750 examples were produced respectively. At some £540 for the chassis alone, the Astura was an expensive proposition, but a technically rewarding one too. The first owner of this Pininfarina bodied example was Robert Frazer of Arbroath, Scotland. A full history file is available with the car , which records changes in ownership in Scotland and in London before the war, including an actress who kept the car for only a little over three months before selling it to H D Walsh of Dublin in January of 1939.

It was to remain thereafter with another five owners, all in Ireland, the current ownership extending over the last 18 years. Recent works carried to both the engine and the body have been extensive. Naturally many of the original body parts and even body timber frames were retained during the restoration, the engine was rebuilt ( documented) along with the front suspension, gearbox and front and rear axles being overhauled. The interior has been re-trimmed beautifully- great care has been taken to replicate the original pattern of the upholstery; the hood recovered and new carpets made to fit. The decorative interior wood trims had their veneer redone as necessary. A truly handsome car that will be recognised for its worth by all knowledgeable collectors and enthusiasts. The Astura was head and shoulders above the vast majority of its contemporaries and it will provide impressive and rewarding motoring for its new owner.

1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ Coda Tronca “Continuation” Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: AR1493*09589
Estimate: £150,000 - £160,000
Unquestionably one of the most desirable of all Alfa Romeos, the Giulietta Sprint Zagato, or ‘SZ’ for short, was designed with racetrack success as a priority. Alfa’s successful Giulietta range had debuted in 1954 with the arrival of the Bertonestyled Sprint coupé, the Berlina saloon did not appear until the succeeding season. Veloce models with improved performance followed, and the agile Giulietta SV quickly established an enviable record in production car racing, notable victories including a Gran Turismo class win in the 1956 Mille Miglia. Nevertheless, to fully exploit the car’s potential, lighter and more aerodynamic bodywork was deemed necessary, a requirement which resulted in the ultimate Giuliettas: Bertone’s Sprint Special and the Sprint Zagato, both built on the short-wheelbase Spider platform and powered by the 116bhp version of Alfa’s classic, 1,290cc, twin-cam four. Conceived as an out-and-out competition car, the Sprint Zagato coupé employed lightweight aluminium-alloy coachwork and demonstrated its designer’s commitment to weight saving in every detail, tipping the scales at an astonishing 785kg. With a top speed in excess of 200km/h the SZ was easily the fastest of the Giuliettas, and even today there are few 1.3-litre cars capable of matching this level of performance. The SZ’s inherent stability and instantaneous response to steering input made it a driver’s car par excellence. On the racetrack it proved virtually unbeatable, and the Sprint Zagato remains a major force to be reckoned with in historic motor sport, being eligible for a wide variety of prestigious events. Two series of Sprint Zagato were produced between 1959 and 1962, the second series (SZ2) cars being distinguishable by a redesigned, larger and more aerodynamically efficient body incorporating a ‘sawn off’ Kamm-type tail, a feature which gave rise to the model’s Coda Tronca sobriquet. Under the skin the new SZ remained much as before apart from the welcome incorporation of Girling front disc brakes. SZ chassis numbers ran from ‘001’ to ‘217’, a total of 217 cars, an estimated 44 of which were the later SZ2 Coda Tronca version. As confirmed by Alfa Romeo, chassis 1493*09589 on offer today was completed on the 10th June 1959. As evidenced by the photos that come with the car, it was found in barnfind condition. The owner therefore decided to restore it in the SZ configuration “coda tronca” with aluminium body, to emulate his dream car.This car conserved the original engine AR1315*08416 found in the Giulietta Sprint and it was totally restored and prepared with 2 40’ Weber carburettors 40’. This Giulietta SZ “Continuation” is equipped with Jaeger clocks. This remains one of the closest continuations of the famous 44 SZ Coda Tronca produced at the time. Realized on the base of a true Giulietta Sprint of the 1959, this car would hold its own in any collection.

1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello Registration Number: Non-EU Registered
Chassis Number: ZFFZR49B000107263
Estimate: £85,000 - £95,000
The Maranello needs no excuses: it is right-minded, a return to traditional values, albeit values and standards that tower high above those set by the Daytona when it shuffled off to extinction a quarter of a century ago.’ “Car magazine” . With the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1997, Ferrari returned to its tradition of building front-engined V12 sports cars, resurrecting a line that had remained dormant since the demise of the 365GTB/4 ‘Daytona’ in 1974. The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello’s 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 developed 485bhp at 7,000rpm, some 100-or-so horsepower more than the Daytona’s.
Ferrari had discovered long ago that providing optimum balance in a front-engined sports car necessitated the use of a rear transaxle, and the Maranello’s came with six speeds. The power train was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, while the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering. Styled by Pininfarina like its illustrious ‘Daytona’ predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, small cabin and truncated tail. The body’s aerodynamics were developed in the wind tunnel, where hours of testing ensured that the minimum of drag was combined with constant downforce regardless of set up, an important consideration in a 200mph road car. Styling details such as the bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheelarches recalled the great “competizione “ Ferraris of the past, in particular the immortal 250GTO, while the tail incorporated Ferrari’s characteristic twin circular lights.

1994 Range Rover SE - “Soft Dash” Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: SALLHAMM3MA649552
Estimate: £10,000 to £15,000
The Range Rover Classic is a 4x4 luxury SUV series 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, but 2 doors were manufactured until January 1994. 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. The Range Rover broke from the Land Rovers of its time by using coil springs instead of the then-common leaf springs. Because of its hefty weight, it also had disc brakes on all four wheels. Originally, it had no power steering, though this was added a few years after its introduction. One problem with the Range Rover chassis was that it suffered considerably from body roll. Because of this, the suspension was lowered by 20 mm in 1980, and later gained anti-roll bars. Air suspension was introduced in late 1992 for highend 1993 models. The first major push upmarket was in 1984, which saw the availability of leather trim and automatic transmission; this was followed by the 1985 model year, which saw the instrument pod replaced by a more modern one (adapted from the Austin Maestro) and new door cards (using Austin Metro door handles) with walnut inlays. This lovely “Soft Dash” example is presented in the most desirable colour combination of Plymouth Blue with beige leather interior which has been re – Connollised. The headlining has been replaced, wheels refurbished and a new starter motor, water pump and alternator have also been fitted. There are new discs all round and the suspension has been changed to the more economical and desirable coil suspension. This wonderful 4X4 is in great condition all round and still provides any incumbent with comfortable and effortless touring ability as well as its phenomenal off-road capabilities which of course was their forte and initial remit but encompassing style and luxury at the same time. This is a wonderful model with it’s 3.9 litre V8 providing plenty of power and is an opportunity not to be missed.

Estimate: £23,000 - £28,000
The Alfa Romeo Giulia (Type 105) is a sports saloon which was produced by 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 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 or 1.6-litre. 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. First registered the 16th March 1965, this Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1600 comes with its first Italian registration papers and the FIA HTP Passport. Prepared for competition at the beginning of the 1990s. It has taken part in many competitions in the last 20 years in Italy, winning many of them.

1982 Ferrari 512 BBi Coachwork by Pininfarina Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 42511
Estimate: £230,000 - £260,000
Ferrari’s newest Berlinetta Boxer model was introduced at the 1981 Frankfurt Salon, and although it appeared to be very similar to the outgoing model from a distance, its biggest change was found under the rear clamshell and in the new model’s nomenclature. The 512 BBi replaced the 512 BB’s four Weber carburettors with a Bosh K-Jetronic fuel-injection system, hence the “i” in 512 BBi. This upgrade proved the 512 BBi to be much more user-friendly, making the car not only easier to start but also easier to maintain. For many clients, the addition of the fuel injection was a welcome change, and the 512 BBi is often considered to be the most liveable of Ferrari’s Berlinetta Boxer models. The 512 BBi also received a handful of cosmetic updates, including fitting exposed driving lights in the nose, shortening the aluminium egg-crate grille, and fitting rectangular parking lights in a new shroud for the exhaust at the rear. Just 1,007 examples were built from 1981 to 1984, before production transitioned to the Testarossa. Finished in arguably the best colour combination for a 512BBi - metallic grey with cream trim, this left-hand drive example is one of only 1,007 512 BBi models produced by Ferrari. It was delivered new in July 1982 to Europe via Autobecker in Dusseldorf to its first registered keeper, Herbert Dentsch. As verified by the accompanying Fahrezeugbrief, From 1990 the car was owned by Horst Bauling in Germany. The Ferrari was subsequently registered in Spain, remaining there in the hands of the same owner from 2003 to circa 2009. There are bills on file for works carried out in Spain in 2009, and in the UK in 2015 when a new clutch kit was installed. Additional documentation consists of sundry invoices, a current UK V5C registration document and a photographic record of a relatively recent restoration, which was carried out in both Germany and Italy. Presented in commensurately good condition, the car is offered with its original owner’s wallet, handbook, full set of tools (in case) and the aforementioned service booklet. With the value of V12 Ferraris from the 1960s and 1970s having increased dramatically, users and investors alike have recognised the potential of the Berlinetta Boxer series, and particularly that of more practical fuel-injected models. One of the few Enzo-era models that has yet to reach its zenith among the collecting community, this particular 512 BBi stands out as an exceptional example, and is poised for further collector recognition in the coming years.

1952 Grosser Werkmeister FIA, FIVA and German historic papers Registration Number: EU Registered
Chassis Number: 6/250052
Estimate: Refer Department
The Grosser Werkmeister is a one-off racing car constructed and built by Georg Werkmeister of Dingelstädt in the German Democratic Republic. With assistance from ex Auto Union aerodynamic specialist Georg Hufnagel, a low 2-seater sports/racing car body was built and mounted on a tubular space frame, welded to the chassis with the help of Arno Dietzel. The chassis and space frame are the original items that the car has today. In common with contemporary rivals such as Veritas, AFM and EMW, Werkmeister used the proven and competitive BMW 328 engine along with many other 328 parts in his car. Until 1954 it successfully competed in many class E (up to 2,000cc) sports car races, as well as in Formula 2 events from 1953. East Germany may not have been a hotbed of international racing competition in the post-war years, but there were sufficient cars to fill grids in both class E and F2 events. The Werkmeister debuted in E- class competition at the Sachsenring on 7th September 1952, although driver Hans Althoff found it challenging to drive at speed and failed to deliver the expected win. The same held true for the car’s next competition outing at Berlin’s famous Avus circuit on 28th September, and the Grosser Werkmeister was reconfigured to run in Formula 2 for the 1953 season. Althoff was replaced by Karl Weber, who took the car to a second-place finish in its first race of the new season, and on to third place in the 1953 East German championship. Weber also raced the car in three events in 1954 after Georg Werkmeister emigrated to West Germany in March 1953 and the state had duly seized the car. Weber then campaigned it under the guidance of the East German Trust Operations Foreman. All the car’s races are fully documented in a most detailed history file with much period documentation and a wealth of period race photos. Later a 2-seater body in steel and an EMW engine were fitted, the latter because the original 328 engine suffered from a heavy bearing damage from its last race at the Avus circuit. In the following years car was used on the public road and changed hands several times.

In 2004, its then owner embarked on an extensive and painstakingly documented ground-up restoration that successfully returned the car to its former glory without regard to cost and complexity. A handmade aluminium body and a period BMW 328 engine finally enabled the historic Werkmeister to be reborn. Now returned to original specification with all work documented in a letter to the FIA authorities in detail, FIA and FIVA papers were supplied following a thorough technical inspection. The best German specialists were entrusted with the restoration work and the relevant correspondence they hold is available too. Since being finished, the big Werkmeister has again taken part in the most prestigious historic motorsport events and it has recently been a common and much appreciated sight at the NĂźrburgring, Alpine rallies and many other oldtimer events.
Finally, it should be noted that in the last 25 years Coys has rarely if ever come across such a wealth of documentation accompanying one car, therefore please understand that this description details just a small fraction of information about this car’s life – a car which occupies a unique space in the history of post-war German motorsport.

1935 Derby Bentley 3.5 Litre Owen Sedanca by Gurney Nutting Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: B130FB
Estimate: £175,000 - £195,000
Rolls Royce built Bentleys in Derby between 1933 and 1940 and these are known as ‘Derby Bentleys’. Based on an experimental Rolls Royce project, the earlier cars featured the 3.5 litre engine fitted to the Rolls Royce 20/25 but with a higher compression ratio, sportier camshaft profile and two SU carburettors on a crossflow cylinder head. The engine produced 110 bhp allowing for a top speed of 90mph. The 3.5 litre variant of the Derby Bentley was produced until 1936 and in total less than 1,200 were made with this engine. The chassis of these cars carried coachwork from a number of different independent coachbuilders in the UK and Europe, with some of the coachwork regarded as the most elegant of the period. One such coachbuilder, and also one of the most highly regarded, was J Gurney Nutting & Co Limited. Founded in 1918 as a new enterprise by a Croydon firm of builders and joiners of the same name by the senior partner Mr John Gurney Nutting. Gurney Nutting was based in Croydon until a fire destroyed their premises in 1923 and they moved nearer their customers to the upmarket address of Elystan Street, off the Kings Road in Chelsea, London. Once in Chelsea Gurney Nutting established their reputation for creating beautifully executed cars with naturally balanced proportions. In 1924 Scotsman A F McNeil who had been with Curnard joined the firm as chief designer. This was a seminal moment for the company and McNeil’s designs were the greatest and most successful in Gurney Nutting’s history. Gurney Nutting’s rise in prominence was helped by a budding Royal connection. This began in June 1926 when a 21 hp Lanchester chassis fitted with a Weymann body was delivered to the future King George VI and a few months later his younger brother ordered a Weymann body on a Bentley chassis. The car which really built their reputation for prominent customers was commissioned in 1928 for the style-setter of the time, the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII and later still the Duke of Windsor. He commissioned a Weymann body on a 4.5 litre Bentley which became known as the ‘Prince of Wales’ body style that went on to become a best seller.

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.
In 1931 Gurney Nutting built the body for Malcolm Campbell’s Blue Bird world speed record car. The 1930s were the firm’s greatest years, bodies were built to order on other chassis but mostly these were the years of the Rolls Royce and Bentley saloons, Coupés de ville and Sedancas de ville. Working closely in conjunction with H R Owen of Berkeley Street, W1, Gurney Nutting built arguably their most elegant Coupé, the Owen Sedanca. Chassis card details from the Rolls Royce Enthusiast Club indicate the car we have for sale here was formed by matching the Owen Sedanca body from chassis B99BN manufactured in 1934, with chassis B130FB which originally had Rippon Bros Saloon coachwork and was manufactured in 1935. Brought by the current owner from the highly regarded Rolls Royce and Bentley dealer P&A Wood in 2007. It comes complete with the chassis card details and looks splendid finished in light Green with complementary cream hide interior. This is a fabulous example of an extremely rare motorcar that would be welcome at many great events and is an opportunity not to be missed.

1978 Ferrari 308 GTS Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £43,000 - £47,000
Enzo Ferrari’s son, Alfredino “Dino” Ferrari, had a promising career as an engineer and businessman and was poised to take over his father’s motoring empire, continuing the Ferrari legacy through the next generation. Dino gained experience working alongside some of the greatest engineers in history, such as Vittorio Jano. He is credited with the concept of the big-bore 4-cylinder 750 Monza and convincing his father of the merits of a compact V6. Sadly, he became ill and passed away at the age of twenty-four but his legacy lived on in the form of the Dino 246GT and the unbroken line of mid-engined V8 cars that continue today. Dino’s 2.4 litre twin-overhead cam V6 was a jewel of an engine. It was fitted to the first mid-engine regular production Ferrari and became the lifeblood of the brand for the next 45 years. The successor to the Dino, the mighty 308, gained two cylinders and earned a Ferrari badge. The 308 GTB/GTS became the company’s most successful model to date, selling more than 12,000 examples over a 10 year production span. As the volume leader for so many years, the 308 was often toward the bottom of the collectability scale and many suffered from poor maintenance. Properly maintained 308s are now highly sought-after and the model is enjoying a well-deserved and dramatic rise in collectability. This beautiful 1978 308 GTS is a desirable Carburettor model, which are becoming increasingly difficult to find in good condition. The 308 has been in the custodianship of four owners from new, all of whom have maintained the car to a very high standard. The previous owner enjoyed the GTS as part of a wider collection. During his ownership he commissioned a repaint in the original shade of Rosso Rubina, a very elegant dark red metallic which shows off the lines of the 308 perfectly. The original beige leather seats are in very good condition, as are the matching carpets. The black Targa panel still sits in its original stowage bag. This stunning example is offered with a comprehensive history file containing many invoices, including a recent major service and timing belts. Additionally we note that the Ferrari is supplied with a Canadian title document, carfax printouts, a UK NOVA letter and current UK MoT certificate. Furthermore the 308 is offered with a handbook pack containing all of the origina l manuals, the original tool roll, a rare Rotor box of spare bulbs and fuses, and the Ferrari issued inspection lamp. With only 32,150 miles recorded, this is a great entry-level Ferrari with wonderful provenance, which we are positive will prove to be a wise investment in years to come.

1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Registration Number: TBA
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £23,000 - £26,000
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta, first seen at the 1954 Turin Motor Show in coupe form, was intended as a small platform that could easily cut through narrow European streets with ease. Alfa went on to produce a saloon version in 1955, and at the request of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, a convertible variant of the Giulietta was also produced in that same year. The spider was based on the Sprint, and it utilized a variant of Alfa Romeo’s 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine, which could produce 74 horsepower. The convertible weighed in at 1,896 pounds and was 121 pounds lighter than its coupe sibling, which translated into marked improvements in performance and resulted in a top speed close to 100 mph. Despatched on the 3rd April 1962, this Tipo 101.03 Giulietta Spider was delivered new to Hoffman’s own dealership in New York City, in the avantgarde colour scheme of Blanco with a red leather interior. The Spider has since been restored, with a colour change to the traditional Italian sports car combination of Rosso red with a black leather interior. This delightful car is offered today from the collection of a gentleman who is fortunate enough to own several Italian sports cars of this era. The Giulietta Spider is one of Alfa Romeo’s most iconic post-war automobiles, and it represents an affordable way to step into classic Italian motoring. Upon testing an Alfa Romeo Spider, Autocar magazine wrote that “there is no more desirable small sports car; it sets standards of performance, handling, and refinement that very few others can match.”

1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: DBSV8/10165/RCA
Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000
The DBS was intended as the successor to the Aston Martin DB6, although the two ran concurrently for three years. Powered by a straight-six engine, it was produced from 1967 until 1972, eventually being phased out in favour of the Aston Martin V8. It was a larger coupé than the DB6, with four full sized seats, but was powered by the same 4.0 L engine as the previous car. Claimed engine output was 282 bhp, but a no-cost vantage engine option used Italian made Weber carburettors, increasing output to an advertised 325 bhp. The DBS was intended to have a more “modern” look than the previous series of Aston models (the DB4 through DB6), and it incorporated a fastback style rear end and squared off front grille, atypical of Astons at the time, but very much then in vogue in automotive design circles of the late sixties. Trademark Aston design features, such as a bonnet scoop, knock off wire wheels, and side air vents with stainless steel brightwork were however retained. The DBS was the last Aston Martin to be built under David Brown’s control.

In September 1969, the DBS was made available with a 5340cc V8 engine, this variant being known as the DBS V8. At the time, it was the fastest four-seater production car in the world. The new model was fitted with light alloy wheels (as opposed to wire wheels on the DBS) and ventilated brake discs. Automatic transmission was offered as an alternative to the ZF 5 speed manual gearbox. The DBS V8 was produced until May 1972, after which it was given a single headlamp front end and was renamed simply the Aston Martin V8. This stunning example in Burgundy with one of the best combinations of interiors, cream leather, is offered with automatic transmission and comes with an Aston Martin Heritage certificate. These extremely quick sports cars were the envy of the world when they appeared on the scene and once again, this is repeated today as these models are highly sought after and collectable. Its paintwork and interior are in good condition and this is an opportunity not to be missed.

1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: WPOZZZ93ZJS020070
Estimate: £45,000 to £55,000
The 911 traces its roots to sketches drawn by Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche in 1959. The Porsche 911 was developed as a more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356, the company’s first model. The new car made its public debut at the 1963Frankfurt Motor Show (German: Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung). The car was developed with the proof-of-concept twin-fan Type 745 engine, and the car presented at the auto show had a non-operational mockup of the production single-fan 901 engine, receiving a working one in February 1964. It originally was designated as the “Porsche 901” (901 being its internal project number). 82 cars were built as 901s. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. Internally, the cars’ part numbers carried on the prefix 901 for years. The Porsche 930 was a sports car built by Porsche between 1975 and 1989, known to the public as the 911 Turbo. It was the maker’s top-of-the-range 911 model for its entire production duration and at the time of its introduction the fastest production car available in Germany. Total output from the engine was 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp), much more than the standard Carrera. In order to ensure that the platform could make the most of the higher power output, a revised suspension, larger brakes and stronger gearbox became part of the package, although some consumers were unhappy with Porsche’s use of a 4-speed whilst a 5-speed manual was available in the “lesser” Carrera. A “whale tail” rear spoiler was installed to help vent more air to the engine and help create more downforce at the rear of the vehicle, and wider rear wheels with upgraded tires combined with flared wheelarches were added to increase the 911’s width and grip, making it more stable. This wonderful example, having only 3 owners from new, is presented in Guards Red with black leather interior and black hood also comes with electric sports seats and air conditioning with climate control. These iconic 1980’s “ yuppie” favourites, are still attracting buyers from around the globe as their value increases and the thrill of its turbo still exhilarates those that drive them. This is no exception. Offered in good condition all round with the engine in excellent condition according to its owner, this is one opportunity not to be missed.

1999 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta F1 Fiorano Registration Number: Non- EU registered
Chassis Number: ZFFXR41JPN0114864
Estimate: £40,000- £50,000
Complex, sophisticated, and very fast, it is the quantum leap that has enabled the Ferrari V8 to run in proud parallel with the 456GT and 550 Maranello,’ enthused Car magazine’s review of the F355. First presented to the motoring press in May 1994, the F355 effectively re-forged the reputation of Ferrari’s V8 which, 328 and 348 notwithstanding, had suffered since the introduction of the Mondial ‘world car’. The latter, with its four seats, well-appointed interior, and - relatively - soft ride, was considered far too sensible to be a ‘proper’ Ferrari; the F355 though, was cast in the mould of that great driver’s car, the Dino 246GT. Just how great an advance it was may be gauged from the fact that the F355’s best time around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track was three seconds quicker than the formidable 512 TR’s.
Despite its prodigious performance the F355 was no mere ‘racer on the road’ but a thoroughly modern automobile employing state-of-the-art technology, in the form of computer-controlled variable damping, to reconcile the differing requirements of ultimate roadholding and acceptable comfort. A light-action clutch, proportional power-assisted steering, and driver’s air bag were other features calculated to make the car reassuringly user-friendly. The heart of the F355 though, was its phenomenal 3.5-litre V8 engine. Equipped with four overhead camshafts and five valves per cylinder - a layout borrowed from Ferrari’s Formula 1 engine - this remarkable unit produced a claimed 370bhp at 8,250rpm, with 268lb/ft of torque available from 5,000 to 6,500rpm. A six-speed gearbox, mounted transversely behind the longitudinally disposed engine, ensured a sufficiency of ratios to keep the motor on the boil whatever the situation.

1939 Jensen Tourer – Only 2 Owners from new Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: S244544
Estimate: £70,000 - £80,000
Jensen was founded by two brothers, Alan and Richard Jensen who were born in 1906 and 1909. They became interested in cars at an early age, and so in 1930 their father set them up in their first business, Patrick Jensen Motors, based at Edgbaston. They ran the business with Joe Patrick, but moved on the following year after a disagreement. In 1931 they started work at W. J. Smith & Sons, an old established firm of motor body builders, located in High Street, Carters Green, West Bromwich. Smiths specialised in bodywork for lorries and cars. After William Smith’s death the brothers took over the business, and in 1934 it became Jensen Motors Limited.
The business specialised in custom-built bodies for a range of readily available car chassis made by a range of manufacturers including Morris, Singer, Standard, and Wolseley. In 1934 the brothers received a commission from American actor Clark Gable to him build a special car, on a Ford V8 chassis. The Jensen S-type was a car built by Jensen Motors from 1936 until 1941 as both a saloon and a convertible. It was the firm’s first volume production car, based on Ford motors from the United States, and chassis parts from Ford of Britain sourced through M B K Motors.

The car was painted in the correct shade of Mercedes Blau 940, the interior trimmed in Wine Red by the well known supplier Strong & Turton, all brightwork was re-chromed and the hood replaced with a genuine Mercedes item. Planning to use the car on continental trips to Italy, during restoration a number of sensible modifications were added, such as Xenon headlights, inertia retractable seat belts, electronic ignition, and a period Becker radio with iPod connector. Always stored carefully, this car has clearly been well-loved as further receipts from local specialists lay testament.

1965 Alfa Romeo TZ1 Tribute Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: AR 380839
Estimate: £130,000 - £150,000
The Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ (also known as the Alfa Romeo TZ or Tubolare Zagato) was a sports car and racing car manufactured by Alfa Romeo from 1963 to 1967. The original TZ, is sometimes referred to as TZ1 which differs from the later TZ2 and was developed together with Autodelta, a company led by Ex-Ferrari engineer Carlo Chiti. It featured a 1,570 cc twin cam engine and other mechanical components shared with the Alfa Romeo Giulia which carried a 105 series chassis number but was a purpose built sports racing car, with a tubular spaceframe chassis, light all-aluminium bodywork, disc brakes and independent suspension. The TZ was built both for street and racing trim, with the latest racing versions producing up to 160 brake horsepower. Aiding the TZ in its quest for performance was the treatment of the rear bodywork. Incorporating the research of Dr. Wunibald Kamm, the TZ used a style called “coda tronca” in Italian, meaning “short tail.”, otherwise known as the Kamm tail. The principle is, that unless you are willing to incorporate an aircraftlike extended tail (not practical for an automobile), there is surprisingly little, if any, increase in drag and a marked decrease in lift or even some downforce by simply chopping off a portion of the tail. The example we have here is from the collection of the “Museum of Communication” in Cormano near Milan, we understand it was built in the early 1980s with components derived from a 1965 Giulia SS. This TZ Tribute has a tubular chassis, aluminium body and fibreglass hood. It is powered by a 1600 cc Giulia derivation with a 5 speed gearbox . This car comes with Italian registration documents of the 1965 Giulia 1600 SS from which it is derived.

1978 Volkswagen Beetle 1303 Convertible by Karmann Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 1592001018
Estimate: £6,000 to £8,000
In 1948, Wilhelm Karmann bought a standard Beetle and converted it into a four-seater convertible. After successfully presenting it at VW in Wolfsburg, Karmann began production of the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet in 1949. After a number of stylistic and technical alterations made to it, the last of 331,847 cabriolets came off the conveyor belt on 10th January 1980, bringing with it the end of an era. In 1971, alongside continued production of the standard Beetle, a variant which featured Macpherson strut front suspension and a re-designed front end was introduced which was officially known and marketed in Europe as the ‘VW 1302’ from 1971 to 1972, and ‘VW 1303’ from 1973 onwards.

1988 Ferrari Testarossa Coupe Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: ZFFAA17B000078092
Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000
‘There are fast cars and fast cars. None of them comes close to the 180mph Ferrari Testarossa: it is firmly in that top echelon of high performance cars for which perhaps only two or three rivals qualify. The Testarossa is so excitingly fast you can relive the moments of spine-tingling acceleration from the mere mention of the revered name.’ - Motor. Ferrari’s flagship model, the Testarossa supercar revived a famous name from the Italian company’s past when it arrived in 1984. A ‘next generation’ Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor’s amidships-mounted, 5.0-litre, flat12 engine, the latter now boasting a maximum power output raised to 380bhp at 6,300rpm courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despite the power increase, smoothness and driveability were enhanced, the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allied to a maximum speed of 180mph. Rivalling Lamborghini’s Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly, the gill slats feeding air to its side-mounted radiators being one of the modern era’s most instantly recognisable – and copied - styling devices. A larger car than the 512BB - the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tyres - the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low coefficient of drag, its graceful body being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other such devices. Despite the increase in size over the 512BB, the Testarossa was lighter than its predecessor, the body - its steel doors and roof excepted - being, somewhat unusually for a production Ferrari, of aluminium. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel and plentiful leather. Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessed light controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied to its outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to an instant and sustained high level of demand. In 1992 the original Testarossa was succeeded by the updated 512TR version, which came with 428bhp on tap, while ABS brakes were added to the package before the 512TR was replaced by what would be the Testarossa’s final incarnation – the 512M – for 1995. For the first time there were major cosmetic changes: the original pop-up headlights being replaced by fixed lamps beneath clear covers, the grille size reduced, round tail lamps adopted and three-piece wheels fitted. Titanium connecting rods went into the engine, which produced marginally more power and torque than before. This example of the legendary Italian supercar has covered 66,000 kilometres from new. The car is in excellent overall condition both bodily and mechanically, it comes with a host of bills and receipts from its previous Italian keeper . The detailed engine bay is arguably the finest we have seen on any Testarossa- a sure sign this car has been nurtured throughout its life. Offered with UK registration papers and a current UK MoT this is of one of the most iconic 1980s supercars and still turns as many heads today as it did when it was new. Truly Pininfarina at its best – flamboyant yet futuristic – a true classic.

1959 Fiat 1100T Van “Abarth Service” Registration Number: Italian Registered
Chassis Number: 007051
Estimate: £11,000 to £13,000
Dante Giacosa, the man who constructed the pre-war 508C and in the post war years the Topolino, 1100T, Fiat 500 and 600 was also behind the 1100B and E which were to become the backbone of Italian transport during the late 40s and 50s. The 1100 B and E, were eventually superseded by the more modern 1100 T, which is the taxi car you see in all the Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren movies of the 50s and is still used and made in Iran and in India. The vehicle we have today is a van based on a 1100T chassis finished in striking two tone period Abarth livery. This is perhaps the ultimate historic transporter and perfect if you are campaigning Abarths with space for spare parts and equipment. The owner informs us that it is restored and road legal. The head of the engine was recently refitted. This car would be a great entry to the Goodwood paddock or any other historic event throughout Europe.

1959 “John Bolster” Morris Mini Minor Ex Goodwood Journalist Race 1960 Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: M/A254/1290
Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000
John Bolster was a racing driver, commentator and motoring journalist. He was most famous for his “Bloody Mary” special which was a twin-engined JAP powered sprint and hillclimb car that he built with his brother in 1929. Eventually running on methanol based fuel, Bolster once said “she seems to enjoy her alcohol as much as her owner does his”. He also raced at Donnington and other British circuits in the 1930s and 1940s. His motor racing career ended after he suffered serious injuries in a crash whilst driving Peter Bell’s ERA at Stowe during the British Grand Prix in 1949. Subsequently he turned to broadcasting and served as Technical Editor for Autosport for many years and became renowned as an extrovert and all-round motoring enthusiast. The Mark 1 Mini was the first version of British Motor Corporation’s Mini. It was marketed under a number of different names including the Morris Mini Minor. It is characterised by its sliding windows, external door hinges and moustache shaped grille. It was a car that would be produced for many years to come in various forms and end up as an icon of British motoring heritage. The Mini Minor we have for sale is one of the very early press cars which was loaned to John Bolster at Autosport to road test for 1 year. He raced it in the Journalist’s race at Goodwood in 1960 as well as several other well-known 850 GFC press car races. The car was also taken abroad a number of times to race for Autosport. John Bolster loved the little Mini so much that even before the 1 year road test came to an end, he bought it from the British Motor Corporation. He kept it for his personal use and eventually used it to follow the Monte Carlo Rally.

After 10,000 miles the magnesium gearbox was replaced after it had caused the engine to seize. The Mini had an SPQR gear remote fitted, a new wood rimmed steering wheel and a demister fitted in the rear parcel shelf. All of these adjustments were carried out around 1960. After many years of ownership John Bolster sold the Mini to the present owner who is a specialist Mini tuner and restorer. It was then the subject of a restoration including an engine and gearbox rebuild. Thankfully, the car retains its original number plates, suspension, interior trim, wood-rim steering wheel and the longer corner bumpers front and rear. This car featured in James Rupert’s book ‘Mini: The Complete Story’ as well as in features and adverts in Autosport between 1959 and 1960. It comes complete with a British Motor Heritage Industry Heritage Certificate. This is a very rare opportunity to own a piece of motoring history previously owned by one of the most colourful characters in racing and motor sport journalism.

1982 Mercedes 500 SL Registration Number: Irish Registered
Chassis Number: WDB10704622002361
Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000
The SLs of this era (the 107 chassis) really established themselves as an icon of quality and success on the Continent as well as the Americas. Unlike the previous SL range, these cars were rugged and durable and could accumulate high mileage and still remain reliable with just the most basic of care. The first of the generation was the 350SL, a car that is now beginning to occupy a strong place in the hearts of Mercedes-Benz collectors, it was the original pure design with no emissions equipment to speak of, small plated bumpers and manual windows. Being lighter and unrestricted from an emissions standpoint meant the cars were lively performers as well as quiet and comfortable touring cars. Following the discontinuation of the SLC in September 1981, the 107 series continued initially as the 280, 380 and 500 SL. At this time, the V8 engines were re-tuned for greater efficiency. This lovely example is presented in black with black interior is presented in good condition throughout and also comes with its factory hard top. These timeless classic Mercedes Sports were built to last and needed very little in the way of maintenance. This model comes with the highly desirable V8 which provides effortless acceleration and touring ability matched by very few of that generation or indeed of today’s.

1953 Bentley R-Type Saloon Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: B119TO
Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000
Announced in May 1946, the Bentley Mark VI featured a strong channel section chassis with independent wishbone/coil spring front suspension and a live, leaf-sprung rear axle. Drum brakes were fitted all-round, with Rolls-Royce’s mechanical servo assistance, the front ones for the first time on a Bentley operated hydraulically. Power was provided by the pre-war B60 4,257cc six cylinder engine - with overhead inlet/side exhaust valves and belt rather than gear-driven dynamo and water pump, both major changes from previous Rolls-Royce practice - sufficient to propel the Bentley, via twin SU carburettors, to 90mph. The only major mechanical change came in May 1951 when engine capacity was increased to 4,566cc together with a change from a by-pass oil filter system to one-using a full-flow layout. The Mark VI was joined by the R-Type with production commencing in 1952. The factory saloon coachwork was indistinguishable from that of the Bentley Mark VI up to the rear doors, but with the back featuring a one-piece boot lid and a more spacious luggage compartment. In total, 5,201 Bentley Mark VIs were produced, 4,000 with the 4.1 litre engine, and 2,320 R-Types. Production ceased in 1955. Manufactured in 1953, this R-Type saloon has recently been repatriated into the UK from the warm climate of Georgia in the United States. The car is complete, is said to run and drive well, with a good engine and chassis, and the bodywork is straight. The leather seats has deteriorated though in the heat, and would benefit from a retrim. Finished in two-tone Grey with a Biscuit hide interior, and offered with EU taxes paid, this lovely Bentley provides the ideal restoration project for the enthusiast.

1959 Mercedes-Benz 220S ‘Ponton’ Cabriolet Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 180030105502262
Estimate: £55,000- £65,000
Mercedes-Benz reintroduced six-cylinder models to its range in 1951 with the 220 and 300 types, both of which were shown at the Frankfurt Show in the spring of that year. Both featured single overhead camshaft engines with the valves set across the head, rather than in line, and actuated by rockers. The 220 was powered by a 2,195cc six-cylinder engine producing 80bhp at 4,600rpm, good enough for a top speed of 100mph with acceleration to match, while the gearbox was an all-synchromesh four-speeder with column change. A separate chassis was retained for these models, which were replaced in 1956 by a new range featuring unitary construction bodyshells employing large, box-section side-members - hence the term ‘Ponton’ – the others being the 190 and 219.
All-round coil-sprung independent suspension had long been a fixture of the Mercedes-Benz range, and that of the newcomers benefited from the newly developed single-pivot rear swing axle. A shorter wheelbase was adopted for the cabriolet model that appeared in May 1956 and also for the coupé introduced the following year when the Hydrak semi-automatic transmission become available as an option. Luxuriously equipped in the best Daimler-Benz tradition, these superbly constructed Gran Turismos were priced some 70% above the 220S saloon. In 1958 the 220 range was updated with a fuel-injected version of the 2.2-litre overhead-camshaft six, becoming the 220SE, though manufacture of the carburettor-equipped models continued into 1959, the saloons bowing out in July and the coupé and cabriolet in October of that year. By the time production ceased, only 3,429 220S coupé and cabriolet models had been manufactured and today these elegant and exclusive limited edition Grand Tourers are highly prized. One of only 1,251 Mercedes-Benz 220S Cabriolets produced, this left-hand drive example was exported to the USA’s East Coast and first came to the UK in early 1990.

The car then underwent a very high quality restoration, which was completed in 1992. In 1993 it was offered for sale at auction and purchased by its penultimate owner, having previously belonged to one Christopher Brown of Sevenoaks, Kent. Works carried out since acquisition include a carburettor strip down (2008), fitting new tyres (2008) and a minor service by CCS (February 2009). There are bills on file totalling in excess of ÂŁ2,500, most of which is accounted for by a new exhaust system. Additional documentation consists of a quantity of expired MoT certificates dating back to 2008. Acquired in 2012 by the present vendor the car has been cared for and maintained within his private collection, having been flown abroad for a variety of events in the Middle East before returning to his UK country estate in 2014.

2004 Ferrari 575 Maranello Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: ZFFBT55J000139114
Estimate: £85,000 - £95,000
In 1996 Ferrari introduced the 550 Maranello in a bid to revive their fabled line of grand tourers, and the 550 quickly proved to be an overwhelming success. Six years later, in 2002, they introduced the 575M Maranello, which brought about a host of healthy updates to make an incredible car even more potent. Increasing the displacement of the V-12 by 250 cubic centimeters, resulting in a total of 5,748 cubic centimeters and brought a healthy increase in power and torque, giving the 575M a top speed of 202 mph. The front end was slightly revised with newer headlights, a revised air intake and front spoiler, and the weight distribution was improved to 50/50. Buyers also had the opportunity to outfit their new car with an F1-style gearbox, which proved to be a very popular option. To help rein in the increased performance, the 575M was also fitted with larger brake discs. Inside, the interior was modernised and refreshed with an updated dashboard, trim, and steering wheel, amongst other minor updates. This beautiful example, finished in Argento Nurburgring with a contrasting Crema and Beige hide interior, and Nuovo Cuaoio carpets, really is in excellent condition in all respects, having covered a mere 16,300 miles from new. When supplied this 575 was supplied with the essential Fiorano handling package, which is a must for all 575 owners. In the words of Evo Magazine, “Don’t buy a 575 without it”. Other upgrades included red brake calipers, and a leather headlining, all in all adding up to a very special package. 575 Maranellos are amongst the very best of modern Ferraris, a fantastic all round GT car with a front mounted V12 in the spirit of the iconic 275s and Daytonas’ of the 1960s and 70s. Offered with Full Service History and the relevant book packs and leather wallet, this must surely rank as one of the best on offer today. Estimate:

1968 Ford Mustang Coupe- 70,000 Euro restoration Registration Number: German registered
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000
‘The Mustang can be tailored to be anything from a gentle in-town ladies’ car to an impressive 130mph highway performer. Undoubtedly its almost infinitely variable personality is one of the car’s chief attractions...’ - William S Stone, ‘The Ford Mustang’. Ford created a new class of car almost overnight with the introduction of the Mustang sports coupé part way through the 1964 season, catching the rest of the US auto industry off guard. Aimed at the affluent young, for whom a car was as much a lifestyle statement as means of transport, the Mustang succeeded brilliantly, achieving sales in excess of a quarter million by the end of ‘64. The secret of the Mustang’s success was a broad appeal that extended beyond the target market thanks to a great value-for-money package combining sporty looks, decent economy and brisk performance. Mustangs could be ordered in specifications ranging from six-cylinder ‘economy’ to V8-powered luxury, while customers could choose from an extensive range of factory options, with the result that seldom are two Mustangs identical. This particular 1965 Ford Mustang coupe features the highly desirable 5,000 cc V8 engine with a 340 HP engine. To compensate with this tremendous power both the suspension and body have been stiffened. Upgrades include an aluminium race tank, uprated brakes and wheels. Most notable are the 70,000 euros worth of invoices that accompany the car for work to the engine and body. Finished in stunning shade of Adriatic blue over black and with a current TUV , this classic American GT can only be described as in generally excellent condition.

1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 105641426693
Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000
Alfa Romeo’s stylish Montreal was first shown at the World Expo in Montreal in 1967. Originally intended as nothing more than a show car, based on the existing Giulia GTV floorplan with a 1,779 cc twin cam four cylinder engine, it created such a stir and reaction was so positive that the possibility of putting it into production was investigated. At the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, a production version was displayed. Installed in the engine bay was Alfa’s classic V8 quad cam racing engine with dry sump lubrication, taken from their Tipo 33 racing car, mated to a 5 speed ZF gearbox. This was an altogether much more appropriate power plant for such an exotic looking machine. With 200 bhp, performance was brisk; near 140 mph maximum speed and 0-60 mph reached in 7.6 seconds. The svelte Bertone coachwork incorporated many novel stylistic features, such as the headlamp “eyelids”, the NACA duct on the bonnet and the grilles which lined the rear quarters, intimating a mid-engine layout. The Giulia floorplan had been retained, with independent coil-sprung front suspension, live coil-sprung rear axle, limited slip differential and ventilated discs. This all added up to handling and road holding in keeping with the car’s high performance. The Montreal offered for sale here is finished in the classic combination of red with black hide interior and looks suitably sporting. It benefits from a stainless steel exhaust and the additional fitting of a Harvey Bailey handling kit. With only 44,800km currently on the clock and supplied with MoTs dating back to 1993 which show the car had 39,000km on the clock in 1993, and has since covered a mere 6,000km in the preceding years. A new clutch was fitted in 2015 and a previous owner conducted a Dellorto Carburettor conversion. The car comes complete with the original Certificat d’Immatriculation dated the 14th of September 1972 from the original supplier in Paris, and it has been on the Montreal register for over 25 years. Described by the vendor as being in generally good condition, this represents a superb opportunity to own a classic V8 powered Alfa Romeo which looks stunning and is simply begging to be driven.

Estimate: £36,000 – £40,000
The O.S.C.A. developed Fiat 1600 S Coupe stems from the end of the era of the Modena-based Maserati brothers, who between the wars, gained a first class reputation as suppliers of the Trident badged racing cars to privateer drivers. 1938 saw the sale of their eponymous company to Industrialist Adolfo Orsi. To their discontent, Orsi’s son Omer, was pressing for the construction of road cars. Towards the end of 1947, their service contract completed, the three surviving brothers went off to form O.S.C.A. (Special Organization for the Construction of Automobiles) in nearby Bologna.
Nevere more than 30 cars a year were built consisting of mainly small engined sports racing cars. There was an outright victory at the 1954 Sebring 24hrs and numerous class wins at Le Mans and in the Mille Miglia. In a reversal of the policy that led them to leave Maserati, the brothers began building GT cars using a tuned 1.598 cc Fiat engine and with disc brakes on all four wheels. Each car was built to individual requirements and bodies came from Zagato, Fissore, Boneschi Touring and Morelli.

1962 Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet “Eden-Roc” Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: 110B122-003542
Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000
Originally a bicycle manufacturer and arguably best known as a maker of fine racing motorcycles, Edoardo Bianchi built his first automobile in the early 1900s. A wide variety of models was manufactured over the next 30 years, though by 1940 the firm was concentrating on motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Car manufacture resumed in 1957 under FIAT auspices, Autobianchi’s debut model being the Bianchina, based on FIAT’s new 500. Positioned up-market from the FIAT, the Bianchina debuted as the Transformabile coupé, with full-length folding sunroof. The Bianchina showed clear signs of American influence, its size excepted, exemplified by two-tone paintwork, whitewall tyres and plentiful chrome. In 1960 the newly introduced and more powerful FIAT 500D engine became standard equipment on the Bianchina range, which was augmented by two new models: a Cabriolet and the Panoramica estate car. A fourth version, the Quattroposti saloon, arrived the following year. Arguably much more elegant than Ghia’s ‘Jolly’ derivatives of the Fiat 500 and 600, this charming and rare Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet ‘Eden-Roc’ is most handsomely finished in red with white side stripe, black hood and red and white interior. It has been the subject of a total restoration in Italy, which was only finished in February 2016, and is presented in beautiful condition. The car is offered with its Italian registration and the FIAT Register Historic Certification.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 11304422017482
Estimate: ÂŁ65,000 - ÂŁ75,000
In March 1963 the new generation of SL sports cars was launched with the debut of the 230 SL at the Geneva Show. This revolutionary new model replaced the now ageing 190 and 300SL models. Mercedes engineering, together with elegance and practicality, made the pagoda top SL one of the most distinctive designs of its era. In closed form it offered handsome proportions and coupĂŠ-like comfort, whilst the easy removal of the pagoda hard top turned it into an open top sports car for the summer months. During the 1960s Mercedes-Benz refined the model, later fitting the 250 engine and finally arriving at the 280SL. The 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and was produced until 1971, with the major difference compared to the previous model was the upgrade to a 2,778cc engine which produced 170 hp. The extra urgency provided by this larger more powerful engine improved the drivability of the car and therefore made this final incarnation of the Pagoda the most sought after model. As today, Mercedes-Benz motor cars were never cheap, but superb build quality and sophisticated styling made the 280SL an extremely popular sports car with the rich and famous. The Mercedes Pagoda 280 SL we have for sale here is a highly desirable original UK right-hand drive car with an automatic gearbox. It was originally supplied by Maloney Rhodes Mercedes dealership in Cambridge in 1970. Looking wonderfully elegant finished in dark blue with complimenting grey leather interior and matching blue soft top and hard top roofs. The car comes complete with its original handbooks and wallet, original tools wallet and factory build cards. The history supplied with the car is extensive, including MoTs dating back to 1979 and the original service book and service invoices. The vendor describes the overall condition of the car to be good. A very stylish and usable classic that is presented in the ideal specification and ready to be enjoyed either as an open topped sports car or with the hard top on for colder trips!

Chassis Number: 5F09T640879
Estimate: £38,000- £45,000
1966 was the last year Ford offered the original Mustang Fastback and it proved to be a stellar year in sales. In all, about 35,000 Mustang Fastbacks were produced in 1966 with just 7,889 being ‘Luxury’ versions consequently making this model highly sought after by Mustang collectors. The ‘66 model Fastback featured a re-designed grill, new instrument cluster and new styled wheels. An automatic gearbox option was also introduced for the V8.
Although other Mustangs in 1966 sported the Mustang Pony emblem directly behind the front wheel wells, the GT Mustang featured a special GT emblem in its place. One of the most distinct features of the 1966 Fastback Mustang is the car’s exit vents, which work with the vehicle’s fully functional ‘silent-flo’ interior ventilation system. This 1965 manufactured Mustang 289 Fastback has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration in the recent past which included engine rebuild, body/frame restoration, a repaint and new interior.

1975 BMW 3.0 CSi Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 2265967
Estimate: £43,000 - £48,000
BMW introduced a new two-door coupe that was built for BMW by Karmann in 1968 and production lasted until 1975. Named internally as the BMW E9, the first model to be produced was the 2800 CS which replaced the earlier 2000 C and 2000 CS coupe models. The wheelbase and length were increased to allow the engine bay to be long enough to accommodate the new straight-six engine code-named M30, and the front of the car was restyled to resemble the E3 sedan. The 2800 CS used the 2,788 cc version of the engine used in the E3 sedans and produced 170 horsepower. Not only was the 2800 CS lighter than the preceding 2000 CS, it also had a smaller frontal aspect, further increasing the performance advantage. The 2800CS was replaced by the 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi in 1971. The engine had been bored out to give a displacement of 2,986. It was offered with twin carburettors in the 3.0 CS which produced 180 hp, or with fuel injection in the 3.0 CSi which produced 200 hp. Both cars were available as either a four speed manual or automatic. Performance of both the 3.0 CS and 3.0 CSi was very competitive compared with contemporaries. This example is a very rare edition CSi, with only 13 right-hand drive models produced in 1975 and a total of only 207 produced throughout the production run. The previous owner of the car owned it from 2003 until 2012 and kept it garaged, only taking it out for maintenance running. In the last 13 years the car has only covered 3,000 miles and it has continued to be garaged under cover by the current owner. The original steering wheel is the highly sought after CSL ‘batmobile’ version and looks superb alongside the original gear stick and well maintained interior. The vendor describes the general condition of the car as being good to excellent. Finished in Fjord metallic and with complimentary blue interior, a colour combination that is well suited to this car and looks superb. With only 65,000 miles on the clock and benefiting from the purity of a manual gear box, this is a wonderful opportunity to own an increasingly sought after car.

1958 Chevrolet Corvette Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £65,000- £75,000
Back in 1953, Chevrolet’s launch of a two-seater sportscar was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Based on the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette made use of existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was wrapped striking Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. Motive power came from Chevrolet’s 235.5cu in (3.8-litre) overhead-valve straight six and, unusually for a sportscar, there was automatic transmission, a feature that attracted much adverse criticism at the time. Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory, but with an inferior performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet’s need to compete with Ford’s Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical re-style for ’56 consolidated the ’Vette’s position in the market. A facelift for 1958 saw the Corvette gain a quartet of chrome-rimmed headlamps and a host of other more minor styling changes. Perhaps not surprisingly, alterations for ’59 were few, though one welcome change was the deletion of the previous year’s fake hood louvres. By this time, the end of the 1950s, Corvettes had begun to establish an enviable competition record for the marque. Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov was a big fan of auto racing, and it was he that was responsible for unlocking the car’s innate potential and developing it into a genuine race-winner. These racing successes repaid Chevrolet’s investment with interest: Corvette sales improved significantly, ensuring the car’s survival and enabling it to go on to become the world’s best-selling and longest-lived sportscar. This stunning 58’ example is far from a standard car, having been restored to a specification to impress. The deep red paintwork is set off perfectly with the unmarked chrome work. Mechanically the 5.7 litre chromed injected engine sounds fantastic and performs as it should. Offered with both hard and soft tops this has to be the best example of a Corvette Coys has offered to market for many years, this car would be suitable to grace the most prestigious corvette collections in the world or any concourse events.

1962 Alfa Romeo Ondine Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: R1084957
Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000
The car offered here represents a little known aspect of Alfa Romeo history: its collaboration with Renault, which saw the latter’s Dauphine saloon manufactured under license for the Italian market at Alfa’s Portello factory. Conceived in the early 1950s as replacement for the 4CV, the Dauphine commenced production in December 1955. A bigger car than its predecessor, the Dauphine nevertheless followed the 4CV’s basic layout, with rear-mounted 845cc engine and independent suspension all round. The Dauphine remained in production until 1965, by which time it had become the first French car to sell more than two million units. This particular car is the ‘Ondine’ model, which was slightly more luxurious than the Dauphine and came with a four-speed gearbox. The Italian-built version differed from the French by virtue of its Magneti-Marelli 12-volt electrics, different lights and ‘Alfa Romeo’ badging. This Alfa Romeo Ondine comes to the sale with its Italian papers and it was part of an important Alfa Romeo collection. It comes to the sale to be finished to assembly the panels and the bumper that will come with the car. The engine is not locked and it was overlhaud. This is the opportunity to buy a very rare Alfa Romeo, the little one ever produced, with a restoration to ultimate. A proper collection car.

2010 Fiat 500 Jollycar Registration Number: EU tax paid
Chassis Number: ZFA31200000350272
Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000
As redolent of La Dolce Vita Italy as the immortal Vespa scooter, the ‘beach car’ concept is most famously embodied by Ghia’s ‘Jolly’. A novel and quintessentially Italian idea that first emerged in the 1950s, the Jolly transformed humble saloons such as FIAT’s 500 and 600 from basic transport into conspicuous indicators of wealth. The Jolly found favour as courtesy transport for patrons of luxury hotels and golf courses or for use ashore after one had docked one’s yacht on the Italian or French Riviera. Lacking doors and equipped with wickerwork seats, it was only practical as leisure transport, thus confirming its owner’s status as someone who could afford a car ‘just for fun’. Given the success of the original Fiat 500 Jolly Ghia, it is not surprising that someone would attempt an interpretation of the legendary spiaggine using a modern FIAT 500. Produced by ‘Jollycar’ in limited numbers, the car has been defined as a work of art. Impressive craftsmanship has been employed to produce the wicker seats. The frame has been stiffened using techniques commonly used on rally cars to ensure the rigidity of the car is sound. The design and development of the car is performed in collaboration with major German companies that develop components for racing cars while the work is done in Italy by highly skilled artisans. This car is the #5 of 500 produced by Jollycar and was prepared in 2015. It is equipped with awning and nautical-inspired seat covers which complements the wicker seat very well. The base car is a 2010 model and has covered only 14000 km. It comes complete with spare wheel, tool kit and user manual.

2016 Ford GT40 replica Registration Number: Non- EU registered
Chassis Number: 108R0605
Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000
‘An original GT40 is priceless, but an equally charismatic alternative is the GTD40. The pair are indistinguishable from five paces, let alone 50, so faithful is GTD’s replica even to the discerning eye. The GTD is no “kit car”, but a thoroughbred in every sense.’ - Autosport magazine 1989. A decade on from its final Le Mans win, the GT40 had become firmly established as one of the all-time great classic sports cars, leading to an increased demand for unmolested originals and the start of a replica-building industry. With a mere 107 GT40s being constructed at Ford Advanced Vehicles’ Slough factory between 1966 and 1972, it is hardly surprising that a cottage industry of independent manufacturers arose to satisfy the continuing demand for replicas of Ford’s charismatic Le Mans winner.

1964 Fiat 1500 Convertible Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: 031255
Estimate: £23,000 - £28,000
The Fiat 1300 and Fiat 1500 are automobiles which were manufactured by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1961 to 1967. They replaced the Fiat 1200. The 1300 and 1500 were essentially identical except for their engine displacement, as indicated by their model names. They were available as a saloon and estate, and as convertible and coupé models which shared little mechanically with the other body styles except the 1500 engine. The car’s 75 hp engine combined with its lightweight construction was unusual for the time, especially when considering the price. Front wheels were equipped with disc brakes with four-pot calipers while rear brakes were alloy drums.[1] The Pininfarina-designed Coupé and Cabriolet models of the preceding 1200 continued with largely unchanged bodywork, although they were now equipped with the larger 1.5 litre engine. The grille, previously in two segments, was now a wider single-piece unit of a more trapezoidal design. The lovely example we have for sale today is presented in red with black interior and its original black hard top which is rare to find with these models. These are pretty Italian sports cars which are fun to drive.

1989 Maserati 222 Biturbo Registration Number: EU taxes paid
Chassis Number: ZAM331B00JB118270
Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000
When Alejandro de Tomaso acquired Maserati in 1976, he had ambitious plans for the marque. His plan was to combine the prestige of the Maserati brand with a sports car that would be more affordable than the earlier high-priced models that had traditionally made up the Maserati range. In fact, Maserati ceased making supercars like the ones developed under Citroën ownership altogether, like the Bora and Khamsin. In 1988, with the coupés being restyled, the Biturbo name was dropped in favour of 222—meaning 2-door, 2-litre engine and 2nd generation. The car carried all the visual clues of Gandini’s first facelift, with a more rounded grille and bonnet, different wing mirrors and rear spoiler. The engine size of the 222 E export model grew from the Biturbo’s 2.5- to 2.8-litres. A mixed velour-leather interior was standard on the domestic models, while export markets got leather upholstery as standard. The Maserati 222 Biturbo that we have in sale has about 68,000 miles from new. It was repainted about 5 years ago, it is in generally good conditions and is equipped with automatic air conditioning. Finished in white with nice black leather interiors, this car comes to the sale with its Italian registration papers, ASI omologation and owner and service manual. A great opportunity to buy one cheap car of one of the most important manufacters in the history. Extimation:

1981 Toyota Land Cruiser Registration Number: UK Registered
Chassis Number: TBA
Estimate: £28,000- £35,000
The Toyota Land Cruiser, in its many sizes and configurations has had a long and successful history of reliable service through the most rugged of conditions. Patterned after the ubiquitous Jeep and Land Rover utility vehicles, the Land Cruiser demonstrated that Toyota could produce much more than just economical cars. Introduced in 1960, the FJ40 and its variants remained in production for a quarter century, the kind of longevity that demonstrates true value, quality and utility. They became indispensable in unsettled and remote areas of the world, hauled safaris through Africa, developed a devoted following among America’s off-road culture and have spawned a host of imitators. The Land Cruiser’s popularity and utility is reflected in the number of variants in which it was built. There were in fact so many that it is probably impossible to identify all of them, but they came in a short, medium, long, and extra-long wheelbase, with a variety of roofs, half cabs, soft tops and doors, with four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. They climb mountains, cross deserts and rivers, balance their way over rock falls – they are one of the archetypical utility vehicles and today finding a good vintage example can be difficult. The desirable and iconic Land Cruiser offered here was imported by the vendor from Lebanon in 2015 and received a very comprehensive restoration. This iconic vehicle must been seen to be truly appreciated. This FJ is presented in striking Freeborn Red over a neatly contrasting black interior, and is excellent in every respect. With room for plenty of friends to hit the road, this is a top example of the vintage Toyota Land Cruiser, restored with no expense spared.

1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: ZLA831AB000583021
Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000
The Lancia Delta Integrale needs no introductions. A six time World Rally Champion (plus another without the factory support) made the small square but muscular car a legend. Through its evolution the delta was becoming more and more advanced with the last of the Evolution II 16 Valve cars performing and looking completely different to the early cars. 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. The Evo II offered for sale here was produced in 1993 and delivered to its first owner in Germany. It was imported to the UK in 1997 and subsequently purchased by the vendor’s brother. The vendor himself has owned the car since 1999. Currently showing around 99,950km or 62,106 miles on the clock and offered with a full service history and original manuals. This Evolution II has benefitted from a full respray in 2015 as well a recent mechanical overhaul including engine re-build and turbo charger overhaul. Subsequently the vendor describes the engine, body and paint to be in excellent condition. This fine example of a Lancia Delta Integrale looks stunning finished in Lord Blue with contrasting beige interior. A great opportunity to own a rally legend that has been lovingly cared for and been in the same ownership for most of the car’s life.

1978 Ford Escort RS2000 Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: CXATUR63333
Estimate: £18,000 - £23,000
The Escort was the car that proved Ford’s rallying pedigree. Escorts in various forms won World Championship events between 1968 and 1981 with Ari Vatanen becoming World Rally Champion driving an Escort RS in 1981. Ford allowed their customers to have a taste of their rally success with models such as the RS1600 and Mexico which were developed at Ford’s Advanced Vehicles Operations plant. These models had their weaknesses, with the Mexico deemed as too slow and the RS1600 although quick was too costly to manufacture and maintain. The answer to these shortcomings was the RS2000 launched in 1976 which was powered by the 2.0 litre single-overhead camshaft engine. It was very well received being both fast and easy to maintain. The RS2000 on sale here was originally registered in South Africa and imported to the UK in 2014. All documents for the car are present and correct and the car is in very original condition with original engine and Webber carburettors. The front seats have been recovered in period fabric and the car has benefitted from numerous new parts in 2014 and 2015 with receipts available. Originating from a sunny climate, this has allowed the bodywork to stay rust free and overall the vendor describes the condition of the car to be excellent. With only 63,000 showing on the clock, a good history file and finished in the classic colour combination of White with Black cloth interior, this is the perfect opportunity to own an iconic Escort RS.

1971 Fiat 500 Special Registration Number: EU tax paid
Chassis Number: 2815607
Estimate: £5,500 - £7,500
Replacement for FIAT’s much-loved 500 ‘Topolino’, the Nuova 500 debuted in 1957. A radical departure from its predecessor’s essentially pre-war design, FIAT’s new baby featured unitary construction, a full-length opening fabric roof and all-independent suspension while carrying its engine at the rear. The 479cc power unit was an air-cooled overhead-valve twin, the first such used by FIAT, and the gearbox a four-speeder. The basic 500’s austerity was not well received, prompting the introduction of a revised and better equipped version endowed with refinements such as wind-down windows, upholstered rear seat, column-mounted switchgear stalks and hub caps for the wheels. Introduced in 1960, the 500D used the 499.5cc engine of the 500 Sport in de-tuned form, but nevertheless brought with it a small gain in horsepower. The penultimate model, the L, had a much modernized interior (including a renewed dashboard) which brought the Fiat 500 up to date. Greater comfort and style were provided in this new model for the new generation. The Fiat 500 Speciale Supersport on offer today was prepared by a private enthusiast. The interiors were completely remade and the body was modified with a spoiler and new rear-glasses, and also the wheels were refitted. Its sporty looks both inside and out are sure to make this a real head-turner this summer. Effortlessly stylish and timeless, there is a lot of fun to be had in this little rocket. It comes to the sale with its Italian Libretto.

1959 Fiat 600 Multipla Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 100108059556
Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000
It’s widely believed that the Fiat 500 was Fiat’s first rear-engined post-war people’s car, but it was, in fact, predated by the 600, or Seicento. Produced from 1955 to 1969, it measured only 321cm in length but could still accommodate four people and their luggage. It was such a success in post-war Italy that some 2.6 million were built at Fiat’s Mirafiori plant. The 600’s popularity was not, however, confined to Italy alone, as a wide range of countries, from Russia to Argentina, built the car under licence. Power came from a water-cooled 4-cylinder motor which could propel the little Fiat to 59mph with the 633cc engine, or to 68mph with the later 767cc variant. A year after the 600’s debut, the Multipla was introduced, and this was based on the same mechanical components, but with the front suspension from the bigger Fiat 1100. The Multipla was nothing less than the first people carrier or MPV, and it could seat six despite being only 50cm longer than the Austin/Morris Mini! Not surprisingly the Multipla was widely used as a taxi in its native Italy. The Multipla on offer here was produced in 1959 and delivered new to Rome. It shows 31,922 km on the clock and has recently undergone a restoration and interior retrim. It looks glorious finished in two-tone red and cream with an interior to match. A somewhat cheeky looking, and rather unusual vehicle that would be a pleasure to pootle around in. :

Estimate: NO RESERVE
Manufactured between 1992 and 1994, the 320CE coupés and cabriolets were the most luxuriously equipped models within the range. Similar to their smaller engined siblings, the 320CE was powered by the 3,199cc, 24-valve, twin overhead camshaft, variable inlet valve timing, type M104 engine that produced 220bhp with a top speed in excess of 145mph. Standard equipment included driver’s side airbag and anti-lock brakes.

The car comes with the sportline suspension package , 5 speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. There are also a number of luxury extras such as cruise control, electric driver seat with memory and electric passenger seat. Presented in metallic Nautic Blue with matching blue hood and with cream leather interior, this fast appreciating German classic is timeless in design and is still as stylish as it was when first manufactured. The car also comes with an anti-theft device and infa-red locking.

1953 Fiat 500 C Topolino Belvedere Registration Number: EU Taxes paid
Chassis Number: 446167
Estimate: £9,000 - £12,000
The Fiat 500, commonly known as ‘Topolino’, manufactured from 1936 to 1955. The Topolino was one of the smallest cars in the world at the time of its production. Launched in 1937, three models were produced until 1955, all with only minor mechanical and cosmetic changes. It was equipped with a 569cc four-cylinder, side-valve, water-cooled engine mounted in front of the front axle, which later became an overhead valve motor. The radiator was located behind the engine which enabled a lowered aerodynamic nose profile at a time when competitors had a flat, nearly vertical grill; this shape allowed exceptional forward visibility. Three models were produced, with Model C being introduced in 1949 with a restyled body and the same engine as Model B. It and was offered in 2-door coupe, 2-door cabriolet, 3-door wagon and 2-door van versions. In 1952, Giardinetta was renamed Belvedere, and Model C was produced until 1955. The car offered here today is in wonderful condition and is presented in two tone grey with brown leather interior which is original. It also comes with a roll back sun room and a large rear door opening up to the substantial boot space. This is a practical little classic.

1976 Jensen Interceptor III 7.2 Litre Convertible Registration Number: UK registered
Chassis Number: 23111925
Estimate: ÂŁ45,000 - ÂŁ55,000
More than any of its previous models, the Interceptor of the Sixties firmly established Jensen as a producer of stylish, high performance and hand-built cars. The prototype Interceptor appeared in 1965, a two seater convertible with alloy coachwork, a third transverse rear seat and either 4.5 or 6.3 litre Chrysler engine. Although well received, Jensen realised the market was really for closed cars and entrusted the design to Vignale in Italy. Launched at the 1966 London Motor Show, the stylish Interceptor proved a star attraction. Beneath its now steel coachwork the substantial parallel tube chassis featured independent wishbone/coil spring front suspension and disc brakes allround. Power came from a 6,276cc Chrysler V8, producing 325bhp at 4,600rpm and an impressive 4251b.ft at 2,800rpm, mated to a three-speed Chrysler automatic transmission - sufficient for a top speed of 133mph and 0-60mph in just 7.4 seconds Inside, Connolly leather and Wilton carpets ensured luxury while the dashboard was comprehensively equipped. In October 1968, shortly after power steering became standard, the Interceptor was announced in Mk II form with larger fuel tank, reclining seats, restyled fascia and optional air conditioning. The Mk III appeared in October 1971, boasting a 7,212cc engine, ventilated disc brakes, alloy wheels and restyled interior. A convertible was introduced in 1974, mainly for the European market. The Interceptor III for sale here is one of the increasingly rare convertible models from 1976 and would have been one of the last cars produced by Jensen as they ceased trading that same year. Widely regarded as one of the up and coming classics to own, it looks delightful finished in Green with Ivory interior. This is a matching numbers car with only 62,000 on the clock that has benefitted from a restoration of its interior. The car comes complete with electric roof and is ready to be driven and enjoyed. 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.

2005 Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: WDBZ153791A047264
Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000
The second generation of the CL was the W215-chassis coupé of 1999–2006. It was based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) (which was launched in late 1998 in Europe), though it rides on an 8-inch (203 mm) shorter wheelbase. The CL’s front fascia of four oval headlights is similar to that of the W210 and W211 E-Class. The CL was offered as four models: the normally aspirated V8-powered CL 500, the normally aspirated V8-powered CL55, the supercharged V8-powered CL55 AMG, the normally aspirated V12-powered CL600 (2000-2002), the limited production (about 200 per year worldwide), 5.5 litre V12 Bi-Turbo CL600 (2003-2006), the very rare limitededition NA CL63 AMG (26 examples only), the 2000 NA CL55 AMG F1 Edition (55 examples only), and the limited production (196 total) 6.0 litre V12 Bi-Turbo CL65 AMG (2004-2006). All models seat four. Development took place from 1993 to 1999, with final design being approved in 1996. In 2005, the CL65, with its 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, was one of the most powerful cars on the planet. Six-hundred horsepower wasn’t as common as it is today and that number was reserved for dedicated hard-core sports cars like the Ferrari Enzo, Pagani Zonda and McLaren F1. But a two-door GT car with 604bhp and 738ft/lbs of torque was simply a phenomenal achievement. The CL65 was the most expensive and exclusive Mercedes you could get until the SLS AMG Black Series rolled into town. And among the very fastest. 0-60 takes 4 seconds. Top speed? 205 miles per hour on the Autobahn. Needless to say this is a very powerful, very fast car.This fabulous example is in excellent condition in all respects, having covered a mere 24,500 miles from new. The CL65 is supplied with full Mercedes Main Dealer Service History, with five stamps showing in the service schedule. We are pleased to see the car still wears its factory paint, which is stunning in Silver Metallic with a contrasting Black Hide interior, and is offered with a UK Nova and UK MoT certificate.AMG Mercedes of this era are starting to become appreciated not only for their performance, but for their investment potential, and this example has to rank as one of the very best available.
