(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in writing to the Seller decline to sell the Lot, and the Seller shall be liable to Coys as though the Seller had withdrawn the lot from sale without Coys consent.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 £50,000 or €50,000 of the Hammer Price, and 12.5% upon such of the Hammer Price as exceeds £50,000 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. BUYER’S DEFAULT 21.1 In the event that the Purchase Price is not duly paid in accordance with Condition 20.1, Coys may hold the Buyer in default and shall as against the Buyer (a “Defaulting Buyer”) have the following rights, in addition to those set out in Condition 21.4 below: (a) As agent for the Seller, to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 5% per annum above the Bank of England base rate on so much of the Purchase Price as remains due and unpaid; (b) To retain any Lot sold to the same Buyer at the same or any other Auction and to release it only after payment of the total amount due; (c) To reject or disregard any bid or bids made by or on behalf of the Defaulting Buyer at any future auction or to require payment of a deposit before any future bid made by or on behalf of that Buyer; (d) To apply any money due or to become due to the Defaulting Buyer in or towards settlement of the total amount due and to exercise a charge on any property of the Defaulting Buyer which is in Coys’ possession for any purpose. 21.2. If the Buyer continues to fail to make payment of the Purchase Price in full within 14 days of it falling due under Condition 20.1, Coys may (if so instructed by the Seller, or acting of its own motion in accordance with Condition 21.4 below) without prejudice to any other rights it may have, exercise one or more of the following additional remedies: (a) To institute proceedings against the Buyer in its own name, or in the name of the Seller for damages or specific performance for breach of the sale contract; (b) To institute proceedings against the Buyer in its own name in respect of the Buyer’s Premium

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

Lot 101

1975 Fiat 124 Spider Registration Number: TBA

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000

The Fiat 124 Sport Spider was designed by Pininfarina and styled in-house by Tom Tjaarda. The 124 Spider, 124 Sport Coupé and 124 Sedan share much of their running gear. The Spider uses a shorter platform along with a shorter wheelbase, and in contrast to the Pininfarina styled and manufactured spider, Fiat designed and manufactured the coupé in-house. The four-cylinder engine used in the Spider and Coupé is a double overhead cam, aluminium crossflow head version of the sedan’s pushrod unit. It started in 1966 with a capacity of 1,438cc progressively increasing to 1,608cc in 1970, 1,756cc in 1974 and finally 1,995cc in 1979. The Fiat twin cam engine was designed by exFerrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi and Bosch fuel injection replaced the previously used Weber carburettors midway through 1980. Originally delivered to the U.S. in 1975 this beautiful Spider was converted to right hand drive in the late 1990’s. The car benefits from a rare original factory hard top and has a new mohair hood, new tyres and a MOT until November.

Lot 102

1970 Citroën Méhari Registration Number: Import Taxes Paid

Chassis Number: VS7AYCA0000CA0129

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000

Almost certainly inspired by BMC’s Mini Moke, the Citroën Méhari first appeared in prototype form in 1967 and like its British counterpart was based on a standard production car. In the Citroën’s case it was the Dyane 6 version of the inimitable 2CV, so the Méhari featured the latter’s torsion-bar suspension and air-cooled 602cc twin-cylinder engine driving the front wheels. The open body was made of ABS plastic and, like the Moke, a detachable soft-top and side screens served as weather protection. Taking its name from a type of Camel known for its speed, the Méhari was launched at the Paris Auto Show in October 1968 and would remain in the range for the next 20 years, only disappearing when 2CV production ceased in France in 1988, by which time a total of 144,953 had been made. This wonderful Méhari was imported from Spain in 2017 where the previous owners had undertaken a sympathetic restoration of the car. This work included a new hood and side screens as well as re-upholstering the interior. Currently showing approximately 37,000kms on the odometer which the owner believes to be genuine, this truly eye-catching Méhari wants for nothing and is ready to be enjoyed by the lucky new custodian. There is a NOVA certificate of entry and a UK V5C has already been applied for.

Lot 103

2000 Bristol Blenheim 3 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TTBL399315929

Estimate: £45,000 - £50,000

Bristol’s long line of Chrysler V8-engined sports saloons began in 1961 with the launch of the 407, though in both styling and running gear the newcomer closely resembled the preceding six-cylinder 406. The chassis was up-dated and the styling revised periodically throughout the 1960s, a process that culminated in the 411 of 1969. After five series had been built the 411 was phased out as the 603 saloon and Zagato-styled 412 convertible came on stream in 1975/76; the latter making a clean break from the traditional Bristol look while retaining its predecessor’s chassis and Chrysler engine, though the latter was later downsized to from 6.6 to 5.9 litres. In 1980 Bristol abandoned its traditional numerical nomenclature with the launch of the Beaufighter, and succeeding models would likewise use names drawn from the company’s not inconsiderable aircraft manufacturing heritage. A development of the 412, the Beaufighter used a turbo-charged version of the Chrysler V8, and while in Rolls-Royce fashion the power output remained officially undisclosed, it was sufficient to propel the car to 150mph with a sub-6.0 second 0-60mph time to boot. Meanwhile, the 603 saloon had been revised as the Britannia, the turbocharged version of which, launched in 1983, was dubbed ‘Brigand’. Introduced for 1995, the Blenheim further refined the 603 concept; multi-port fuel injection was introduced, which improved both performance and fuel consumption, and gave the normally aspirated Blenheim the same level of performance as the turbo-charged Brigand. The Blenheim also featured styling changes at front and rear, the headlights being paired and repositioned towards the body centreline. The Blenheim has since developed through the Series 2 and Series 3. The former, made from 1998 to the end of 1999, featured for the first time a four-speed overdrive automatic transmission, which further improved the fuel consumption, while the Series 3 abandoned the vertically mounted tail-lights and came with a much revised interior. This superb Blenheim 3 is described to be in excellent condition throughout having covered a mere 51,500 miles from new. The car has been well cared for during its lifetime and the current vendor has always kept the car in a heated garage and only used on dry days. A rare and excellent example of Bristol’s luxurious grand tourer and an excellent prospect for any collector.

1972 MG Midget Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000

Minor facelift changes were made to the body trim in late 1969, with the sills painted black, a revised recessed black grille, and squared off taillights as on the MGB. The 13-inch Rubery Owen ‘Rostyle’ wheels were standardized, but wire-spoked ones remained an option. These revised cars were initially presented with matt blackpainted windscreen surrounds but this proved very unpopular and after only a few hundred had been built the Midget reverted to the original brushed alloy. The square-shaped rear wheel arches became rounded in January 1972 and are considered to be the most desirable of the Midget range. Also in this year, a Triumph steering rack was fitted, giving a gearing that was somewhat lower than earlier Midgets. This beautifully presented ‘round arch’ Midget in pillar box red with contrasting black interior was the subject of a comprehensive restoration in recent years and is described to be in excellent all round condition.

Lot 105

1960 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: S 827613 DN

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000

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 stylist’s 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. Launched in 1957, Jaguar’s XK150 was the third and final iteration of the XK range and considered by many to be the best driving model, not to mention the most comfortable. This well preserved late XK150 Drophead Coupe was delivered new via dealer Sydney Marcus of London SW1 in July 1960, finished in Pearl Grey with a red leather interior. The XK has been in current ownership since the 1980s, sitting alongside several other Jaguar classics in a private collection. During this time the exterior was refinished in carmen red, the interior partially retrimmed, and notably the 3.8 motor upgraded to S specification with the fitting of triple SU carburettors. Offered from the estate of the former owner, and supplied with UK registration papers and heritage certificate, this stylish Jaguar is ready to be enjoyed by its lucky next custodian.

Lot 106

1968 Mercedes 250SL Pagoda Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 11304310004271

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000

‘Every driver who has more than a purely utilitarian interest in automobiles should drive a Mercedes-Benz 250SL at least once in his life. The car is an almost perfect yardstick against which to measure any other car. There are cars with better acceleration, cars with better brakes, and cars with better roadholding. But there is no car we can think of that has such a remarkable good balance of performance, safety and comfort, and has them in such an absolutely civilised structure.’ – Car & Driver. First produced late in 1966, the 250SL used the same bodyshell as the 230SL that had founded this spectacularly successful sports car dynasty, and which it replaced. Minor improvements were made to the interior, but the major differences were the new 2.5-litre six-cylinder engine – as fitted to the 250SE – and disc brakes instead of drums at the rear. The new car’s top speed of around 120mph remained the same but the larger engine significantly improved flexibility and responsiveness. The 250SL was built for just one full production year making it the rarest model of the ‘Pagoda’ range. This matching numbers European example has been in single ownership since 1986. Purchased from a friend who acquired the car from his professor, the cars history is fully known, documented and the remarkably low mileage of c.51,000miles (83,000km) warranted. One of very few non-American imports, this lovely, honest and well-looked after example is offered with an extensive and thorough history file that dates back many decades, yet also holds a swathe of maintenance invoices and MOT’s for more recent years. This year alone, the car comes with invoices totalling £2,500, a true testament to the fastidious nature of its owner. Included in the sale is its beautiful ‘Pagoda’ hard-top and not to mention its newly trimmed soft-top.

Lot 107

1996 Aston Martin DB7 Volante Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SCFAA3117UK201207

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000

Introduced in 1993, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin’s first six-cylinder model since production of the DBS had finished in 1971. Designed by Ian Callum at the same time as he designed the coupé, the Volante looks elegant both hood up or down, much like the earlier Aston Martin drop-head cars. Well received, it attracted new customers worldwide, with the traditional layout of the curvaceous two door coupé body, robust six-cylinder engine and a luxury interior. Power was supplied by an all-alloy, double overhead camshaft, supercharged, 24-valve, in-line six-cylinder engine which produced 335bhp at 5,750rpm. The DB7 was undoubtedly the catalyst for the modern line of Aston Martin. This rare and desirable manual DB7 Volante is presented in the classic colour combination of Chiltern green with sumptuous tan leather interior and contrasting black hood. With no less than 21 stamps in the service book, this car has been well looked after during its lifetime. Described to be in a good condition throughout this car provides quintessential open top motoring in a defining British classic.

Lot 108

1966 Fiat 500 Jolly Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 110 1202828

Estimate: £18,000 - £20,000

Born of FIAT boss Gianni Agnelli’s wish for open motorized transport from his massive yacht, the Agneta, during port stops along the Mediterranean coast, the finished car was dubbed ‘Jolly de Plage’, or Joker of the Beach. Based on the 500 and 600 models’ unitary construction, these agile compacts featured independent suspension, a four speed synchronized transmission, with the engine at the rear. The 479cc air-cooled twin was hardly a performer, but light construction (and mostly low-speed intended uses) made the package work well. The Jolly found favour as courtesy transport for patrons of luxury hotels and golf courses, such as Catalina Island off the coast of California, where a fleet of 32 Jollys provided taxi service or, as initially intended, for use ashore after one had docked one’s yacht on the Italian or French Riviera. Lacking doors and equipped with waterproof wickerwork seats, the Jolly was only practical as leisure transport, thus confirming its owner’s status as someone who could afford a car ‘just for fun’ (indeed, the Jolly was roughly twice the price of the base model it was derived from). Among the list of Jolly owners in the day are jet setters such as Aristotle Onassis, Yul Brynner, John Wayne, Grace Kelly, Henry Ford II, and even President Lyndon Johnson. The example we have on offer here left the factory in 1966 and has more recently come to the UK some 10 years ago. In the current vendors ownership, the car has resided in a storage facility with the intention of full restoration back to its former glory. Unfortunately, due to other work commitments the restoration was never carried out and the Jolly now comes to the open market with all the essential parts ready for restoration including the wicker seats and engine as well as the body and panels which both present in very good condition with little corrosion. The work done to this example has clearly been completed to a professional standard, and although there is no confirmation many features on this Jolly suggest it could have been converted by marquee specialists Ghia. Ready for restoration this simple project could be completed and ready to use in the coming summer months.

Lot 109

1973 Jaguar E Type V12 Roadster Registration Number: UK Regisered

Chassis Number: 1S1699

Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000

Back In 1971, Jaguar’s jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat’s performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sports car fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 engine developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. “The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear without even a gear change to interrupt one’s headlong dash into the distance”. (Autocar 5th July 1973) With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space and together with wider tracks front and rear, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, it also benefited from vented disc brakes and a restyled interior. Supplied new to the UK in 1973, this beautiful E-type Roadster underwent a £71,000 restoration in 1996 by a well-known specialist and has covered a mere 8,000 miles since completion. Recorded to have had only three owners since 1984, and offered with a history file dating back to the mid-80s containing additional invoices totalling c.£19,000, this wonderful example is more than ready to be enjoyed in the forthcoming summer months.

Lot 109A

Aston Martin V8 Volante Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: V8COL15036 Estimate: £70,000 - £80,000

Described by former Aston Martin Chairman Victor Gauntlett as, ‘a stylish thoroughbred, beautifully built, luxurious, fast and immensely safe,’ the V8 was built in several variants, one of the more exclusive being the Volante convertible. 1978 saw the introduction of a much-awaited Volante convertible, with a power operated fully lined hood. Arguably the ultimate in soft-top luxury, the newcomer boasted a lined, poweroperated hood which, when erected, endowed the walnut embellished interior with all the solidity and refinement associated with the saloon version. Although its open-car aerodynamics meant that top speed suffered with the hood down, the Volante’s 150mph top speed nevertheless ranked it among the world’s fastest convertibles. V8 Volante and Vantage Volante chassis numbers ran from ‘15001’ to ‘15849’, a total of 849 cars. Total production of V8 Volante with Weber carburettors reached 441 examples of which just 157 are known to be right hand drive and only 19 of these known to have manual transmission. This leaves 266 known left hand drive cars and of these, just 50 with manual transmission. Of the left-hand drive cars, 173 were sold in North America. The V8 Volante was an overwhelming success accounting for more than half of the V8 engined Astons produced every year. In recent years this wonderful early V8 Volante has been substantially restored. Now described to be in excellent condition throughout, the car is offered with a swathe of invoices in excess of £33,000 GBP. All of the mechanical work has been done by a retired Aston engineer, and important work of course included upgrading the cooling and braking system. Now fitted with a new Hood and Headlining, the car is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian in the forthcoming summer months.

Lot 110

1964 Lotus Cortina Mark I Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: Z74D/424469/L

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000

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 boot 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. This lovely genuine Lotus Cortina has had we understand just 4 owners from new, covering just under 80,000 miles. The Lotus has been part of a small classic car collection, owned by an enthusiast and former garage owner who has worked on these wonderful cars since new. First registered on 1st January 1965, the Lotus has benefitted from a restoration a few years ago, with a recent engine rebuild which included the fitting of new pistons and bearings. The Cortina has been cared for by the current owner for the last 8 years, during which time it has been stored carefully in a dry heated garage. A delightful original example of the definitive touring car.

The Land Rover entered production in 1948 with what was later termed the Series I. This was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show. It was originally designed for farm and light industrial use, and had a steel box-section chassis, and an aluminium body. This rare aluminium bulkhead model, produced only in 1952 when the factory press broke, has recently undergone a full rebuild to the extent of the chassis being shot blasted, painted and re-bushed.

Introduced in 1993, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin’s first six-cylinder model since production of the DBS had finished in 1971. Designed by Ian Callum at the same time as he designed the coupé, the Volante looks elegant both hood up or down, much like the earlier Aston Martin drop-head cars. Well received, it attracted new customers worldwide, with the traditional layout of the curvaceous two door coupé body, robust six-cylinder engine and a luxury interior. Power was supplied by an all-alloy, double overhead camshaft, supercharged, 24-valve, in-line six-cylinder engine which produced 335bhp at 5,750rpm. The DB7 was undoubtedly the catalyst for the modern line of Aston Martin. This stunning DB7 Volante has been part of a private collection for several years and boasts a good service history. Described to be in excellent condition throughout with beautiful cream leather and contrasting burgundy piping this car really turns heads. Recently fitted with a new hood and cover this exquisite Aston is ready for an enthusiastic drive down country lanes.

2003 Ferrari 360 Spider Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000

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 UK delivered version of the 360 Spider was specified from new with the rare and desirable manual gearbox, and finished in Nero with a matching black leather interior. The 360 is offered with a well documented service record, with the most recent service having been performed by a specialist in August 2018 (including cam belts and tensioners). Offered with both keys, the correct Ferrari book pack and with only 4 previous keepers, this is a good example of what is becoming an increasingly popular modern classic supercar.

1977 Maserati Bora 4.9 Registration Number: German Registered

Chassis Number: AM117149451002

Estimate: £110,000 - £130,000

Maserati needs no introduction. Already a legendary racing marque before the war, the company turned to the limited production of sports cars for the road in the 1950s. These proved to be highly successful, and so manufacture continued throughout the ‘60s with the company taking credit for some of the most desirable cars of the era. The early ‘70s brought the advent of the mid-engined sports car, and so the great front engined Grand Tourers of the period such as the Ferrari Daytona and Maserati Ghibli gave way to this ruthlessly fast new breed. The flagbearers of this new supercar genre were the Ferrari Boxer and the Maserati Bora, road cars capable of over 170mph that, for the first time ever, had cornering capabilities to match their speed. The Bora, styled by Giugiaro at Ital Design, was powered by a 350bhp light alloy V8 lengthways ahead of the rear wheels, and had innovative four-wheel coil spring independent suspension. In ride and handling it was typical of its class – although defining its class simply as ‘superior’ is rather vague, especially since it was about 30 per cent more expensive than its counterparts. Offered here is a lovely matching numbers example of the more desirable 4.9 specification Bora, that has received a vast amount of work over recent years. The extensive work undertaken ranges from retrimming the interior to fully inspecting and servicing the engine. Little details were also taken car of such as modernising the air conditioning unit to use R134a gas, which we are told was very helpful over the summer! Having had all the necessary work undertaken by the vendor, the car is said to run beautifully. Fully serviced and ready for its next custodian.

1972 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 2470261

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000

A modern classic by Pininfarina, the simple-yet-elegant “Kamm tail” Spider bodywork premiered on the 1970 Spider Veloce would prove enduringly popular, lasting into the 1990s. The Spider’s mechanics were essentially those of the Giulia saloon while the engine was the GTV’s double-overhead-camshaft four. The original 1750 version was a one-year-only model, with the advent of the Spica-injected 2000 model in 1971. Wind tunnel testing resulted in the 2000’s signature drag-reducing Kamm tail, while other improvements over the earlier Duetto models included bigger brakes and a limited-slip differential. Outstanding speed, acceleration and handling were all characteristics of this class-leading model, which nevertheless possessed a quite remarkable docility, even at high speeds. Described to be in very good all-round condition, this sporty Spider was previously the property of the managing director of Lombarda Sport. Having clearly had a noexpense spared restoration finishing in 2000, it was at this point that the car was uprated to fast road spec. Since completion, it is quite apparent that this fortunate Alfa was very well maintained and could still be in terms of style and performance, one of the highest specification examples of its breed.

1938 Rolls Royce Limousine by James Young Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: GGR5

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000

In 1922, Rolls-Royce revealed a new, smaller car designed for the owner-driver (although many would be chauffer driven). It was called the Twenty, after its taxable horsepower rating, and ably provided the quality, quiet and durability that was by then immutably associated with the Rolls-Royce nameplate. The Twenty proudly carried the world-famous Parthenoninspired Rolls-Royce radiator design, as would all its similarly sized successors to come. The Twenty was replaced in 1929 by the 20/25, which was then succeeded in early 1936 by the 25/30 chassis. The 25/30 was powered by a 4.3-litre OHV six engine that was a larger displacement derivative of the 20/25 design that preceded it. The 25/30 was produced during the 1936-1938 period and by the time it was retired, 1,201 chassis had been produced in the series. The model was replaced for 1939 by a new small Roll-Royce, called the Wraith (later to become the post-WWII Silver Wraith). Bought by the current vendor in 2012 this charming Rolls Royce had previously been part of the Linegar Collection. Under the present ownership it has undergone a total refurbishment bringing it back to its original, as new, state; both externally and internally. Interestingly, the car is thought to have once been owned by the famed actress, Ann Todd, who starred alongside Gregory Peck as his long suffering wife in Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Paradine Case’ in 1947. A wonderful car that is certainly worth a closer inspection.

Lot 117

1962 Jaguar E Type ‘Flat Floor’ Roadster Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 876469

Estimate: £110,000 - £130,000

Introduced in 3.8-litre form in 1961, the E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared, with instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. The newcomer’s 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 same 3.8-litre, triplecarburettor ‘S’ unit first offered as an option on the preceding 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.

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. But of all the versions of Jaguar’s long-lived and much-loved sports car, it is the very early ‘flat floor’ 3.8-litre cars built prior to February 1962 which, for many enthusiasts, remain the most desirable .

On offer here today is one of those rare ‘flat floor’ roadsters that have become the pinnacle of E Type collectors around the world. Purchased by the vendors father in the 1980’s this car was the subject of an older restoration in the early 1990’s and has been seldom driven since. Due to the value of this wonderful example, the owner decided to undertake a full engine rebuild earlier this year purely as a precautionary measure. At this time he also had the brakes and other items renewed with the total bill amounting to approximately £20,000. This delightful E Type represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire the rarest of the E Type legacy and a car that will always be the most coveted by any true Jaguar enthusiast.

1973 Trojan T101 F5000 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: T101/01

Estimate: £75,000 - £95,000

Trojan’s first in-house design, the F5000 Trojan T101, was an immediate success, winning eight F5000 races either side of the Atlantic, and propelling Jody Scheckter to US championship success. Trojan had been building McLaren’s production cars since the very beginning of the McLaren marque, signing their first deal to produce the McLaren M1A in November 1964. All McLaren Formula 5000s came from Trojan: the all-conquering M10A and M10B, the disappointing M18 and the uncompetitive M22. With McLaren pulling out of the production market, Trojan pressed on for 1973 with an in-house F5000 design, basically joining the front end of the Formula 2 M21 designed by Ralph Bellamy to an M18/22 F5000 rear end. As McLaren were unwilling to allow this to be marketed as a McLaren, it became the Trojan T101. Ex-Brabham designer Ron Tauranac was brought in after the season had started to try to get the car to “make sense”. Five T101s were sold, with Jody Scheckter dominating the US series until a lateseason swap to a Lola T330 and the four UK-based cars winning five times. Chassis 101, the very first example, was built for the 1973 season on behalf of Ian Ward Racing, and driven by Keith Holland in 1973 (with pole positions and wins at Mallory Park and Mondello), Bill Wood in 1974 (three appearances in UK series and only one start at Monza), and again in 1975 (including Zandvoort), John Hinley in 1976 for sprints (also driven by Bob Rose at Curborough on at least one occasion), Jim Moore (of Kincraft fame) in November 1977, and was later used in sprints and libre for the 1978 and 1979 seasons. This car was entered for Keith Norris’s F5000 revival series in 1983, later running the car at the “Southampton Ocean Village Sprint” in 1987, before being placed into storage for almost 30 years.

In 2015 the Trojan was exhumed and brought to specialist Maidstone Sports Cars and extensively �nut and bolt� restored to the condition you see today. The work involved the following:

- The bodywork was soda blasted and repainted in original McLaren orange - The engine was rebuilt by Tim Adam, with a machined block, steel crank and rods, forged JE pistons, aluminium DART heads, new valves, Jesel rockers, racing valve springs, uprated lifters, a rev kit, rebuilt carburettors, new fuel lines and electronic ignition system with an uprated distributor and coil, and lastly a Simpson Racing exhaust system - The gearbox was rebuild by a Hewland specialist - All uprights, wheels and suspension arms sent away for crack testing. Suspension parts were nickel coated back to original specification, with new rose joints and bearings fitted throughout - The original dampers were rebuilt, and new springs fitted - The original callipers were refurbished, with new discs and pads and brake lines - New 2015 FIA specification fuel bag tanks fitted, also new fuel pumps - Radiators were rebuilt to original brass specification Since completion the Trojan has completed in the HSCC Derek Bell Trophy, and was in fact class winner in 2016. Offered in race ready condition, and supplied with a full spares package, this is an extremely potent and rewarding historic race car which is very much on the button and ready to compete.

1985 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole Cabriolet Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £23,000 - £26,000

The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina as its choice of styling house, and it was sold as a mid-sized Coupé and, eventually, a Cabriolet. Conceived as a ‘more usable’ model, offering the practicality of four seats with the performance of a mid-range Ferrari, it was aimed at attracting a slightly wider audience than their traditionally more focused two-seaters. The car’s body was not built as a monocoque in the same way as a conventional car but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena and clothed a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it had been on earlier models. This early 1985 Mondial Quattrovalvole Cabriolet was first delivered to the dry state of New Mexico where it resided for a number of years before being brought into the UK in 2016. During its time in the US we have a Carfax report to show the Mondial was never involved in an accident, in addition to evidence of servicing work. In its current UK ownership the Mondial has benefitted from a number of improvements such as new and expensive Michelin TRX Tyres all round, newly refurbished alloy wheels, a replacement cabriolet roof and four electric window motors, a new clutch master and slave cylinder, also servicing including timing belts. Notably in the US a Tubi stainless exhaust system was fitted (at a cost of over $3,400), which improves breathing and sounds fantastic under acceleration. The Mondial is offered with the correct wallet, handbook, manuals, tool-kit and bills and receipts for works completed. During the previous keepers ownership the vehicle was only used in fair weather and stored under cover in a climatecontrolled garage. Finished in Rosso Corsa with a Nero leather interior, this is a highly accessible entry into classic Ferrari ownership and a lovely car for the summer months.

1974 De Tomaso Pantera Right Hand Drive Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: THPNNK06596

Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000

De Tomaso owes its name to its founder, Alejandro De Tomaso, born in Argentina in 1928. Proud of his South American roots, the De Tomaso symbol is a branding iron used to mark throughbred horses, while its colours are those of the Argentinean flag. At the age of 27, De Tomaso was already demonstrating his passion for cars, and while living in Italy raced Maseratis and others for around four years. At the age of 29 he took the bold move of founding his own car company in Modena, the home of Italian sports cars. After a few years he sold the company to Ford, then greatly enamoured of Italian styling and engineering. Ford’s acquisition was inspired by the desire to create a competitor to General Motor’s successful Corvette. The Pantera was that car. Designed by American stylist Tom Tjaarda and engineered by Gian Paulo Dallara, the Pantera came with a variety of mid-engined options including the 5.7 litre GT4 and a 350bhp GTS. Unlike the Mangusta (which employed a steel backbone chassis) the Pantera was a steel monocoque design. It made its public debut in Modena in March 1970 and was presented at the 1970 New York Motor Show a few weeks later. A year later Panteras started finding their way into the hands of customers and production was raised to a remarkable three per day, startling by the standards of Modena-built exotica.

Reportedly one of only 17 right hand drive Panteras ever produced, this incredibly rare steel arch model is a superb find. The car has been well maintained and in 2012 benefitted from a comprehensive restoration. The whole suspension has been removed, powder coated and refitted with all new suspension joints and bushes. A full set of AP vented discs on alloy bells are fitted with four pot alloy AP racing callipers all round. There was a high performance rebuild of the original engine, upgraded fuel and ignition systems and a stainless steel exhaust system was fitted. The original interior has also been reupholstered in leather and alcantara and a plumbed-in fire extinguisher system offers added peace of mind. The extensive history file contains 21 old MOT’s as well as the original handbook and workshop manual. Having featured in two magazine publications this car is worth your time and attention.

1935 MG PA Airline Coupe 1969 Pebble Beach First in Class and Best of Show Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: PA 2242

Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000

A replacement for the successful J2 Midget, the PA followed the general lines of its predecessor but was equipped with a more robust version of MG’s inline four, benefiting from a cross-flow cylinder head, stronger, three-bearing crankshaft and better lubrication. Top speed was in the region of 75mph. Built in two- and four-seater variants, the PA in the latter form was the last Midget to offer sportscar motoring for the family. Some 2,000 PAs were produced between 1934 and 1935 when the model was superseded by the relatively short-lived PB. The 1930’s motoring industry saw much intrigue in the concept of aerodynamics and its effect on the automobile. With coach builders such as Figoni et Falaschi and Letourner et Marchand leading the way with there teardrop and Aerosport designs for the Talbot Lago and Delage chassis, and in America there was the Chrysler Airflow among others representing a more affordable automobile.

H.W. Allingham could easily have created one of the most stunning swept back designs with the Airline Coupe fitted to the MG chassis, with over a decade of experience in the car industry at many notable coach builders. Whilst designed by Allingham and subsequently marketed by him, the airline were in fact built by both Carbodies and Whittingham & Mitchel. In total it is believed that a mere 51 were ever constructed, with the majority of those cars being built on the four cylinder MG PA and PA series. This MG PA Airline was would appear to be the last PA Airline produced, with the following car being converted to PB specification, and the 8th last PA.

1952 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith LWB Coachwork by Park Ward Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000

The Silver Wraith is one of Rolls-Royce’s most iconic cars. Its sleek design and luxurious interior have made it one of the most cars of the 1940s and 50s. In addition, the Silver Wraith was the model that brought Rolls-Royce out of an automobile manufacturing freeze and placed them back in the public spotlight following the end of the Second World War, which is why the Silver Wraith has been an extremely popular car among state heads and nobility. The 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith has been the official presidential ceremonial car of Brazil since its inception. Furthermore, the 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith is the first of the Silver Wraith models to offer an optional Hydramatic automatic transmission from General Motors, rather than the usual four-speed manual transmission. Overall, 1952 was a big year for the Silver Wraith. Along with introducing an automatic transmission, Rolls-Royce rolled out a number of other changes that set the 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith apart from its predecessors. For example, it was the first year that the company started producing long-wheelbase versions of the car. Moreover, the size of the trunk was increased, the headlamps were improved, and the single choke Zenith carburetor was added. This fantastic 1952 long-wheelbase example is as the pictures show In truly stunning condition. A very imposing Rolls-Royce which previously spent all of it’s life in the USA and only returned to the UK in 2010 Which is all documented, and explains the lovely solid bodywork. The Stunning streamlined body with New wide bodied whitewall tyres and gold plated spirit of ecstasy mascot, gold plated door handles, gold plated centre wheel hub caps Simply just Compliment the style & elegance to this unique car.

1933 Singer Nine Sports Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 49599

Estimate: £17,000 - £20,000

The Singer Nine’s immediate ancestor was the 8bhp Junior, a successful high-quality light car powered by an 848cc four-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine. Built from 1932 to 1939, the Nine employed a 972cc 26.5bhp version of this motor (first used for the Junior Special) in an entirely new chassis. A four-speed freewheel gearbox was standard, while both the Nine Sports and the more powerful and faster Nine Le Mans came with hydraulic brakes. The latter model had resulted from a successful venture into endurance racing, when a Nine Sports took 13th place in the 1933 Le Mans 24-Hour Race. But it was in trials events that the sporting Nines proved particularly effective, successfully challenging the previously dominant MG’s. Despite having been in production for only one season, the Nine was completely redesigned for 1933, retaining the engine capacity of 972cc but benefiting from a more powerful and much more strongly built unit, which went into a new chassis, of increased wheelbase and track, equipped with Lockheed hydraulic brakes all round. The bigger chassis and more powerful engine made possible a new fourseater version of the Nine Sports. Styled by Eric Neale, Singer’s first small four-seater sports car was one of the most attractive of its day, featuring a louvred bonnet and scuttle, cutaway doors, Rudge-Whitworth knock-off wire wheels, sprung steering wheel and matching Jaeger instruments. This wonderful Singer is presented with a charming patina having never been stripped and restored but rather the car has benefitted from good maintenance and periodic refurbishment when strictly necessary. Therefore the interior and hood bag are original and showing superb character, while the hood has been replaced and we are advised is water tight. Over recent years the current owner has made sure this Singer remains spritely with a good amount of mechanical maintenance including an engine rebuild with new pistons, rebuilt brakes all round, a new clutch, rebuilt steering box and starter motor and a new fuel pump. A truly delightful pre-War sports car that is said to be a joy to drive and would make for a superb weekend companion.

1979 Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino One owner since 1984 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 14978

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000

File Images

Ferrari’s line of highly successful V8-engined road cars began with the 308 GT4 of 1973. Badged as a ‘Dino’, the all-new 308 GT4 2+2 superseded the preceding Dino V6. The newcomer’s wedge-shaped styling – by Bertone rather than the customary Pininfarina – was modern and up to date, absent were complaints about the performance of the 3.0-liter quad-cam V8 engine, which was then carried over to its successor. The angular styled GT4 was remarkable in its ability to hold the occasional rear passenger whilst maintaining a compact and aggressive appearance. In this respect, most agree that the GT4 was vastly superior to its successor the Mondial. The aggressive styling has aged well and when finished in a period colour, the result is quite sought after. The interior was luxuriously appointed with handsome Italian string. The wrap around instrument panel put the gauges and controls in close sight and reach and the centre console is reminiscent of the Daytona Coupe. This very rare and special matching numbers Right-Hand drive GT4 was purchased by the vendor in August 1983, making it surely one of the longest-ownership Ferrari’s on the market today. #14978 received a vast amount of love and attention over the years and underwent no-expense spared servicing and maintenance undertaken only by the best marque specialists such as Maranello and Talacrest. Its history file is extensive and consists of what must be every single MOT since 1983. Finished in a very rare and desirable colour combination of Acapulco blue over cream leather interior, the cars condition is as exemplary as one would expect having travelled less than 42,500 miles from new. Not to be missed.

1968 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 1R7299

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000

The Series 2 E-Type introduced a number of design changes, largely due to U.S. design legislation. The most distinctive feature is the absence of the aerodynamic glass headlight covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and tail lights below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged “mouth” and twin electric fans, and uprated brakes. New seats were fitted, which purists claim lacked the style of the originals but were certainly more comfortable. The interior and dashboard were also redesigned; rocker switches that met US health and safety regulations were substituted for toggle switches. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a more industrial “ribbed” appearance. Air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options.

This early Series II roadster was first delivered in October 1968, finished in Willow Green with a black leather interior. The E-Type was acquired early in 1992 by the current vendor, an enthusiast with a small Jaguar collection. The E-Type has been enjoyed in the summer months and dry stored when not in use. Finished in British Racing Green with a Black leather interior, and recently recommissioned and detailed, this is a nice usable E-Type which is ready to be enjoyed on the open road.

Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000

The Allard Motor Company had been formed in 1945 by charismatic designer, racing driver, hill-climber and inveterate “special builder”, Sydney Allard. From his very early days, Allard had been a keen supporter of the high power-to-weight ratio, and his cars typically featured large capacity American V8 engines housed in relatively lightweight fabricated chassis and bodies. The K1 was Allard’s first post-war car, and was largely carried over from the pre-war J1. Based around the Ford “L-Head” V8 and associated running gear, the frame was made up from stamped-steel channel sections by Thomson’s of Wolverton especially for Allard. Side rails and cross members were designed to fit the Ford suspension. One of only 7 road going K1’s in the UK today of the 151 originally produced in the late 1940’s. This car was completely rebuilt in the late 1990’s and used regularly by its then owner, John Aldridge in sprints and hill climbs. Subsequently purchased by Brian Salmon, #71K467A was completely rebuilt again in 2010 to a very high specification, winning numerous local best of show prizes. In its current ownership since 2013, #71K467A has won the Allard Owners Club Concours twice and picked up “The Best Allard to Take Home” award, as voted by the members. Fitted with a 3.9-litre Mercury V8 running Isky ¾ race cams, valves, valve guides and springs, with an Offenhauser inlet manifold mated to a four barrel Holly carburettor and Offenhauser aluminium heads. The crankshaft, clutch, flywheel and pistons have been dynamically balanced for smother power delivery. Having just had the carburation and ignition overhauled and set up on a rolling road by Dennis Vessey & Co of North Lincolnshire, the car is said to be running beautifully and sounding better than ever through the custom stainless steel exhaust system. A truly wonderful and rare British sports car that can be competed, showcased or simply enjoyed by the very lucky new owner.

1957 Austin A35 Goodwood Promotion Car for St Mary’s Trophy Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: A255HCS479A5

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000

Introduced in 1956, the A35 replaced the highly successful Austin A30. The name reflected the larger and more powerful 34hp A-Series engine enabling a slightly higher top speed and better acceleration. Similar in appearance to the A30 except for a larger rear window aperture and a painted front grill with chrome horse-shoe surround, both had 13” wheels and was offered as a two or four door saloon, ‘Countryman’ estate and van. The A35 was successfully raced in its day and can still be seen today at historic race meetings.

This stunning A35 was used by the GRRC to promote the 2016 St. Mary’s Trophy at the Goodwood Revival but did not enter in the following series. In fact this wonderfully prepared car has only seen one competitive outing in the Goodwood Sprint in 2018 and has been so sparingly used that it would make for an excellent basis for entry into the excellent HRDC series. This is certainly the prettiest and best presented A35 we have seen in a long time and is sure to bring a huge amount of joy to the lucky new owner.

2005 AC Cobra by Dax Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £33,000 - £38,000

The hugely charismatic DAX Cobra has remained the undisputed market leader for more than 25 years and has steadily established itself as a much sought after classic sports car in its own right. The car’s enduring popularity owes much to DAX’s policy of continual product improvement and painstaking attention to detail. For many years now, the clear customer favourite has been the small-block Chevrolet V8; perhaps due to its competitive price and wide choice of power outputs. But other popular engines include units from the Ford small block and all-aluminium Chevrolet LS ranges with Rover V8 and Jaguar units still proving highly popular with some people. It’s no exaggeration to say that these cars amaze all who go out in them; harnessing the power with consummate ease and providing levels of grip, composure and ride comfort that simply have to be experienced to be believed. This stunning example of the Dax AC Cobra is finished in Moonrock Grey metallic with black centre stripes, 17” Halibrand chrome split rim alloy wheel with knock on polished spinners, a black leather interior and chromed interior and exterior trim and gauges. The build was carried out by Mike Broad from Magnum Engineering and we can only congratulate him on the quality and detail of his workmanship. The Cobra was built in 2005 using a Tojeiro body coupled to a hooped ladder chassis with back bone brace, a Jaguar Getrag gearbox and a disc-braked rear axle with Limited Slip Differential. The Cobra is fitted with a small-block Chevrolet V8 motor breathing through a 5-4 Barrel Edelbrock carburettor and tubular exhaust manifold. With 350bhp on tap this is a powerful and exciting Cobra to drive. The engine build was completed by PD Sports cars, with new pistons, sleeves and all components replaced at a cost of £5,495.00. The interior was finished with black leather bucket seats, black carpets, a leather extended dash, door cards and boot area, willans four point harnesses. Offered with a folder of paperwork alongside the original build receipts and invoices, this wonderful Cobra drives just as well as it looks.

1977 Ferrari 308 GTB ‘Vetroresina’ Registration Number: TBA

Chassis Number: 21241

Estimate: £130,000 - £150,000

Officially introduced at the Paris Salon in October 1975, the 308 GTB’s styling was created by Pininfarina. The stunning two seat coachwork was all new, but incorporated all of the old magic by blending aspects of the Dino 206/246 with the later 365 GT4/BB. Reminiscent of the Boxer was the dihedral groove at bumper level splitting top and bottom, the plunging nose and the sail panels reaching back to meet a shallower spoiler, while the conical side air intakes and recessed concave rear window were familiar from the Dino. The 308 GTB employed a tubular steel chassis with independent coil spring/wishbone suspension front and rear, complimented by anti-roll bars, adjustable dampers and powerful disc brakes. At its heart was a Formula One derived, all alloy, four camshaft 3.0 litre V8 engine, allied to a transversely mounted five-speed gearbox. The very first 308 GTBs produced, until the end of 1976, were the fastest and best handling thanks to a fibreglass body that weighed substantially less than the steel coachwork which replaced it. These first cars also featured race-bred dry sump lubrication which again was replaced after a short period in favour of the less expensive wet sump.

Purchased by the current vendor in 1977, the year that the car rolled out of the factory, this particularly rare and original RHD Vetroresina has been meticulously looked after over the years. Offered with a swathe of old invoices, this car has recently had a comprehensive service with bills in excess of £3,000 from Maranello. With only one previous owner from new, it is a very rare UK right hand drive specification Ferrari 308 ‘Vetroresina’. Finished in Nero over Nero, this car is not only a very fun car to drive, but also unique and as such an excellent investment opportunity. Having traveled a mere 43,500 miles from new, this midengine Ferrari is made ever more interesting considering the overall high mileage of most 308’s on the market today.

1929 Bugatti Type 44 Offered at No Reserve Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: 441141

Estimate: NO RESERVE

From 1927 to 1930, Bugatti produced the Type 44 as a mid-size car built to the same high standards as their race cars. Thus, it became the firm’s most common model with over 1100 examples sold. It was built around an inline-8 engine that was similar the Type 35’s with two engine blocks of four cylinders each. Displacing nearly three liters, it produced an ample 80 bhp which was flexible enough to propel any variety of aluminum or steel bodies. Furthermore, it was designed to run quietly and without vibration. As an example, the engine was balanced enough to reach 4,500 rpm.

Chassis details were similar to the other Bugatti models sold concurrently. Semi-elliptic leaf springs were used upfront with reversed quarter-elliptic springs were in the rear. Upgrades from the Type 38 included new shock absorbers, a wet multi-plate clutch and a DeWandre-Repusseau servo for the cable-operated brakes. Many of the French coachbuilders designed bodies for the Type 44 including Weymann, Kellner and James Young. After 1930, Bugatti upgraded the model to the Type 49 and offered the 5-litre Type 46 as a more luxurious model. This particular example is an exquisite, fine and perfectly detailed representation of the most elegant period of the Grand Routier Bugatti, a style dating from the late 1920s.

The car is overpopulated with fine and exquisite detailing, such as a full set of Jaeger cable and chronometric clocks encased in the typical period oval-shaped instrumentation binnacle, alongside a traditional lightsprung four-spoke steering wheel, betraying the car’s early competition genetics and very much in the style of racing cars of the period. The interior is beautifully finished in stunning high-quality fawn leather, with the appropriate door pulls and interior furniture, including fine woven grab handles to the rear. Externally, in line with its stunning bespoke interior, the car boasts all of the highest quality features, typical of the world’s most expensive cars of this period, including a very expensive Marshall lighting equipment throughout, with polished aluminium ACE-style wheel discs, a beautiful hand-made rear leather baggage trunk mounted behind the coachwork, and a sideboard-mounted additional petrol can in untarnishable finish, appropriately completed with the iconic initials of one of the world’s greatest motor car designers, Etorre Bugatti, which to this day remains a trademark associated with the brand. For any Bugatti collector or historic motoring enthusiast, opening the bonnet of an 8-cylinder Bugatti has become an unforgettable experience, and the straight 8 engine fitted to this machine definitely provides such instant euphoria. From the exquisite machine-turned finishes through to the stunning and practical use of period high technology alloys, the under bonnet of this car typifies what is often said about Bugatti engines, in that “it’s not an engine, it’s a cathedral”. Offered at No Reserve, this wonderful machine is accompanied with sundry paperwork and documentation which is available for inspection upon request. A quite magnificent representation of the heady and exciting world of ultra-high quality motor cars during the exciting inter-war years.

1972 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3 S Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000

The Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato was another collaboration with the legendary styling house. It was slightly more acceptable looking than the outlandish Zagato-bodied Sport Flavia, but the aluminium Fulvia was still an unusual looking car that buyers either loved or hated. Beyond those looks, though, the Fulvia Sport Zagato remains a true classic – even rarer and more desirable is the Spider version, of which only a handful were made. Those concept car looks promised a great driving experience and, thankfully, the Sport Zagato lived up to the off-the-wall styling. Like the HF, the Zagato was lighter than the standard Coupé, and the power-to-weight ratio delivered by the lively V4 power units was enhanced usefully, resulting in excellent performance. The top 1.6-litre 115bhp Sport Zagato is an absolute gem. Upgraded during its life, the Sport Zagato even picked up additional equipment such as electric windows later in life, a sure sign that drivers wanted more gadgets to be put into the 1970. The beautiful Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato offered here has undergone a painstaking 3 year rebuild. Found in a barn some 4 years ago the current owner embarked on a comprehensive restoration programme. The car was stripped back to the bare metal . This is a Fulvia Zagato that demands closer inspection and would be a superb addition to any serious collection.

1967 Specification 330 P4 road/race car Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 9699

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000

1967 was a banner year for Ferrari as it introduced the mid-engined 330 P4, a renowned V12 endurance car meant to replace the previous year’s P3. Only four Ferrari P4-engined cars were ever made: one P3/4 and three 330 P4’s. Their 3-valve cylinder head was modelled after Italian Grand Prix-winning Formula One cars. To this was added the same fuel injection system from the P3 for an output of up to 450bhp. Due to the great fame, sleek appearance and absolute rarity of the original design, most of us can only aspire simply to enjoy a hand-crafted and bespoke built P4 replica, similar to the exceptional car offered here. The car on offer is powered by a hand-built, all aluminium, 2.4 Dino V6, and according to the car’s owner is based on a 1960’s race chassis, which is believed to have raced with an unknown body and engine. The engine was rebuilt by Marque specialists Ferrari Engineering, who work on many Ferraris of this era. The exhaust was handmade at a cost of £3,000, which gives the car a fully authentic sound, complete with pops and bangs, as expected. Sitting of a set of magnesium Daytona wheels and fitted with period tyres, completing the look. Brakes are vented wildwood setup and all the suspension was revised so the car drives as good as it looks. The interior was also made as close to the original P4 as possible, and features Rosso Leather seats, Sabelt race harness and Ferrari clocks, also complete is a foot well fire extinguisher and plumbed in system in the engine bay. The car is fully road legal and correctly registered as a Ferrari, there is a files of invoices, documents, old photographs and wiring diagrams, the car has only four previous owners and said to have covered less than 1,000 miles. With only 3 P4’s ever built, getting hold of genuine car would now be an almost impossible task, but this is a fantastic opportunity to own a beautiful classic tribute to the famous Ferrari race car.

1970 Jaguar E-type Series II Roadster Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid

Chassis Number: 2R14194 Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000

The first significant up-grade of Jaguar’s sensational E-Type sports car occurred in October 1964 with the launch of the 4.2-litre version. Along with the bigger, torquier engine came a more user-friendly gearbox with synchromesh on first gear, and a superior Lockheed brake servo. Apart from ‘4.2’ badging, the car’s external appearance was unchanged, but under the skin there were numerous detail improvements. These mainly concerned the cooling and electrical systems, the latter gaining an alternator and adopting the industry standard negative ground, while the interior boasted a matt black dashboard and improved seating arrangements. The top speed of around 150mph remained unchanged, the main performance gain resulting from the larger engine being improved acceleration. Like its 3.8-litre forbear, the 4.2-litre E-Type was built in roadster and coupé forms, and in 1966 gained an additional 2+2 coupé variant on a 9′ longer wheelbase. Intended to extend the E-Type’s appeal beyond the traditional sports car-buying market, the new ‘family orientated’ 2+2 came with improved visibility thanks to an increased glass area, more headroom, improved heating and ventilation, additional luggage space and optional Borg-Warner automatic transmission. In 1968 all three versions of the E-Type underwent major revision to comply with US safety and emissions legislation, emerging in ‘Series 2′ guise minus the original’s distinctive headlight covers. In addition, enlarged side and rear lights were adopted while a thickened front bumper centre section bridged a larger radiator intake. Interior changes included a collapsible steering column and rocker switches in place of the earlier toggles. 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. This E-Type Series ii Roadster has recently been imported to Europe from a significant collection in Dubai. The car was delivered in 1970 in this colour combination, it is matching numbers and offered with its heritage certification. The subject to a recent body and mechanical restoration by well-known specialists it sits on newly refurbished wire wheels shod with new tyres, the E-Type runs well, displaying good oil pressure; as one would expect. This restored example is exceptional.

1935 Ford V8 Roadster Deluxe Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 82F11551

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000

As buyers continued to prefer closed bodies during the early 1930s, many manufacturers saw sales of open body styles, particularly truly open cars like tourers and roadsters, shrink dramatically. At the same time, cars had never looked better, and Ford, in particular, rapidly adopted more streamlined, rounded lines that gave even their popular-priced automobiles an upmarket look. That, and the famous V8 in an affordable car, cemented Ford’s legacy as the best-selling vehicles of their era. The happy, if unintended, result of this was that cars like this 1935 Ford Deluxe Roadster were so rare when new—with only 3,862 of this model built—that the survivors are hotly desired by collectors today and are among the most sought-after and valuable of all period V8 Fords. This beautifully presented Roadster is reported to drive just as well as it looks in the wonderful burgundy and grey leather interior. The current owner has used the car to compete in the Flying Scotsman and has serviced the car regularly. Most recently a new gearbox was fitted and the car is said to be in good to excellent condition throughout. A rare sight on British roads and sure to be a conversation starter wherever the lucky new owner goes.

1966 Rover P5 Under 10,000 Miles From New, Single Family Ownership Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 77506179C

Estimate: £10,000 - £15,000

First released in September 1958 and badged as the ‘3-litre’ the P5 was powered by a 2,995 cubic centimetres engine. This straight-6 IOE engine used an overhead intake valve and side exhaust valve, an unusual arrangement inherited from the Rover P4. In this form the claimed output was 115bhp. The Mark III P5 was presented at the London Motor Show in October 1965, described at the time as ‘even more luxuriously trimmed and furnished’. It was again available in two 4-door body styles, coupé and saloon. The Mark III used the same engine as its predecessor, but it now produced 134bhp. Externally it could be distinguished by the full-length trim strip along the body and Mark III badging; internally it replaced the rear bench seat with two individually moulded rear seats, making it more comfortable to ride in for four occupants. This extraordinary P5 was purchased new by the current vendor’s father-in-law in 1966 and was rarely driven before being garaged. In 1998 it was passed to the vendor who also used the car very sparingly; as such we are told that the recorded mileage of under 10,000 miles is accurate. An incredibly rare find this car comes with the original buff log book, owners manuals and some old MOT’s.

1934 Singer Le Mans One Owner For Over 30 Years Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 60235

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000

Founded in 1905 by bicycle manufacturer George Singer, the firm made its first saleable car in Coventry the following year. By 1928 Singer had grown to become Britain’s third largest car maker after Austin and Morris. Singer entered into a flirtation with motorsports in the 1930s that took it to that font of racing greatness, Le Mans. At the core of the story was the ohc four created for the Singer. Enlargement of this engine’s displacement resulted in the 972cc Nine series (so named for its taxable horsepower rating). Among the cars in the series were the Sports models, a coupe and a four-seat open car on a lowered chassis. These were soon accompanied by a Le Mans 2-seater. According to The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile, “Encouraged by reliable performances in the 1934 Le Mans race, Singer prepared a team of lightweight 2-seaters for 1935.” These cars could hit 90 mph, and did well at Le Mans and Brook­lands. Twin SU carburettors helped the Le Mans make 34 bhp, with the help of a Moss fourspeed gearbox, a Le Mans could hit 75 mph with the suspension comprising of semi elliptical springs all around and friction shocks. This charming example was registered on 25th March 1934, and has been with just one owner for 31 years, during which it enjoyed a chassis up restoration by marque specialist Ian Blackburn. In the last year the engine was uprated to a more powerful 1100cc unit however the original engine will be supplied with the car. Finished in ivory with a wine red leather interior, this is a charming example of an ever popular pre-war sportscar.

1987 Caterham Super 7 HPC-BDR Purchased new by Rowan Atkinson One of 62 produced Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 5LC 4644 HPRD

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000

The Caterham 7 is a super-lightweight sports car produced by Caterham Cars in the United Kingdom. It is based on the Lotus Seven, a lightweight sports car sold in kit and factory-built form by Lotus Cars. Between 1986 and 1995 a limited edition HPC version fitted with a BDR1700 engine and limited slip differential was available. The name “HPC” derived from the fact that owners were required to take part in a High Performance driving Course before taking delivery of their new car, such was the performance available. HPC made use of the 1700 Cosworth BDR engine, which produced 170bhp. But the HPC isn’t just about the grunt; it’s such a finely honed, beautifully balanced expression of the Lotus Seven genre that Autocar called it “possibly the best all-purpose Seven there has been.” This Super-7, finished in black with black interior was produced in 1987 with the 1700 Cosworth BDR engine. Not long after the car was purchased by the wellknow comedian and petrol-head Rowan Atkinson as confirmed by its V5 document. Mr Atkinson is believed to have owned the car until August 1989, when the current owners made a visit to the Caterham factory. Having been interested in purchasing a Caterham Super-7 for a while but mainly interested in one with a BDR engine, they were promptly told that whilst a new one was not be available, there did happen to be a second-hand example which was at the time being sold on behalf of Mr Atkinson. In 1990 the car was featured in a television programme called ‘The Driven Man’ which detailed Rowans interest in cars, and aimed to get as many of his previous cars together. The current vendors still have photos from that day when Rowan stood in the car, one copy will be included in the sale. After several years of use, the car underwent extensive restoration by Super-7 specialists Partridge Green Motorsport Ltd., returning to the road in April 2017. Alone the Super-7 HPC-BDR represents the pinnacle of Caterham in this period, however with a recent restoration by marque specialists, 28 years of current ownership and being originally owned by one of Britain’s best loved comedians and all-round petrolhead, this particular example is truly unique.

1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe Nut and bolt restoration in 2017 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 890528

Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000

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 space frame 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 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. The Jaguar 3.8 fixed head coupe is probably one of the most desirable ‘E’ types, unquestionably the most beautiful, and this superb example has one of the best specifications one could wish for. Finished in Opalescent sand with black leather interior, this superb example underwent an extensive restoration in 1991 and a further nut and bolt restoration between 2015 and 2017, which as you would expect included an engine rebuild. Still retaining its original colour combination, the car has however had the very important and appropriate changes to its rear-axle ratio. Having travelled a mere 2,000 miles since completion of its nut and bolt restoration, the car can be described as nicely ‘driven in’ and is said to drive beautifully. Offered at what must be a fraction of the price such a restoration would cost, this lot is not to be missed.

1969 Porsche 911E With One Owner For Over 40 Years Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000

The basic Porsche 911 design has been in constant production since its introduction in 1963. Only in 1998 did the air-cooled six cylinder engine revert to water cooling. Throughout its life the 911 has been subject to engine capacity increases and upgrades to satisfy an eager following. The 2.2 L 911E was called “The secret weapon from Zuffenhausen”. Despite the lower power output of the 911E compared to the 911S, the 911E was actually quicker in acceleration up to 160 km/h (99 mph). Any Porsche which has been enjoyed by only one single owner for more than 40 years is special. This matching numbers 911E was collected by its first owner in January 1973 direct from the factory, supported by correspondence from deposit having been paid to the complete bill of sale. As expected with a car of such long term ownership the body is untouched and rust-free, retaining its original factory Tangerine (#2323) paint. All panels are in remarkable condition; the panel gaps and shut lines are perfect, and the doors close with the Porsche trademark “ping”. The interior is un-restored and perfectly preserved. With the exception of small stress crack on the dash top the whole interior (including carpets, headliner, door panels and door pockets) is lovely. The seats (in genuine leather not vinyl) show just the merest of wear on the driver’s seat, and the original “Coco” floor mats are still present. As expected all controls and instruments are in full working order. Over the years the engine has always been correctly serviced but has never been removed from the car, and still shows perfect oil pressure, accelerating through the five forward gears effortlessly. With more mid-range torque than the S, this car is as fast or faster than an S in most driving conditions. In a world of over-restored classic Porsches, this early 911E stands out as a unique and refreshing find. If you are seeking a genuine rare surviving example of one of the most exciting variants of the legendary 911, then look no further. The 911E is offered with the original Porsche book pack, service books and receipts of over 40 years of careful maintenance. With a total recorded mileage of 74,580 miles in almost 50 years, this is a unique find and a real treat for the true enthusiast.

1968 Ford Mustang Convertible Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 8T03T209769

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000

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. Brainchild of Lee Iacocca – subsequent saviour of the Chrysler Corporation – the Mustang is one of the most remarkable automotive success stories of modern times and arguably the pinnacle of his long career with Ford. 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. This remarkable debut was followed by a staggering 524,791 sales in 1965, earning Ford a fortune. 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. Described to be in excellent condition in nearly all respects, this eye-catching American muscle car has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration by marque specialists in the US before being imported into the UK and registered. Offered with a UK V5 and a valid MOT, everything from the suspension to body has been restored to a very high standard. A reluctant sale and a fantastic opportunity.

Lot 137A

1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Sedanca De Ville by Gurney Nutting Registration Number: TBC

Chassis Number: GXM25

Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000

The Rolls-Royce 25/30, built between 1936 and 1938, is an updated version of the 20/25 featuring a larger engine than had been fitted to the earlier model which provided more power to compensate for the over-size bodies being built. The in-line six cylinder, overhead valve, engine was similar to that used in the 20/25 but increased in capacity to 4,257cc. A single proprietary Stromberg downdraught carburettor replaced the Rolls-Royce one and magneto ignition was no longer fitted but a spare ignition coil was provided. The riveted chassis had rigid front and rear axles suspended by half elliptic springs with hydraulic dampers. Braking was on all four wheels assisted by a mechanical servo with separate rear brakes fitted for the handbrake. Also fitted was the traditional Rolls-Royce radiator with vertical louvres, the angle of which was controlled thermostatically to control engine cooling. Only the chassis and mechanical parts were made by Rolls-Royce. The body was then made and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner. In the early 1930s, all luxury marques were delivered as rolling chassis to one of many marque-approved coachbuilders for completion.

This example, chassis ‘GXM25’, was bodied by Gurney Nutting in the Sedance De Ville design. The rolling chassis ‘GXM25’ and the 4250cc engine were driven out of the Rolls-Royce factory on July 4th, 1936 and handed to famed coachbuilder Gurney Nutting to be delivered on 5-9-1937. The Rolls-Royce is believed to have only three previous custodians, one of which owned the car as part of a Rolls-Royce collection in Kent, which twenty or so other examples from the marque. Finished in deep blue over black, with grey leather interior piped in blue, this example has the wonderful Sedanca canvas top, unfurling from the hidden compartment in the front of the roof. The rear compartment has one occasional seat folding from the bulkhead, on the opposite side is a fold out footrest.

Between the two is a small cocktail cabinet with twin glasses and a decanter. Twin vanity alcoves are mounted with recessed mirrors reading lights. All interior woodwork is in fine order. Acceleration is said to be responsive, with the car feeling light and extremely manoeuvrable with firm but supple suspension. We have been informed that the car starts instantly and runs silently, with the radiator shutters operating perfectly via the thermostat. The owner has covered many miles in the car without any problems, and with a new overdrive, allowing the car to cruise at 65 to 75mph. All tools are in their appointed place and the original Bakelite coil covers are also correctly mounted. The car comes to us with a large history file, tools and original hand book.

2002 Porsche 996 Turbo X50 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ99Z2S681703

Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000

The 911 (996) Turbo offers genuine supercar performance in a compact and practical package. The turbocharged version of the 996 appeared in 2000, three years after the normally aspirated 996 had replaced the much loved 993, and was as radical a departure from the 993 Turbo as its, opinion-dividing sister had been. Arriving with four-wheel drive as standard, a water-cooled engine, a smooth new bodyshell and a radically updated cabin, the new 996 Turbo was a thoroughly sophisticated, allweather, competent supercar and although it went out of production in 2005, in real terms it’s still as quick as anything on the road. Water cooling, a first for Porsche, allowed an engine redesign that included four valves per cylinder, enabling higher power outputs to be achieved with much better fuel economy. Although the Turbo is water-cooled it’s not the same engine that’s in the regular 996. The 3.6 litre Mezger engine in the Turbo, can trace its ancestry back to the old air-cooled units and is directly related, not only to the 996 GT3, but also the GT1 racer with 3.2 litres and 600bhp. This engine has proved virtually bulletproof and the standard 420bhp can be comfortably extended to 500bhp with confidence. This very attractive low mileage and accident-free 996 Turbo was supplied new to the UK via Porsche Colchester in 2002, fitted with the desirable X50 power upgrade and factory fitted aerodynamics package. The X50 upgrade package increases power output to 450bhp, achieved by larger turbos and intercoolers, changes to the ECU and a reinforced gearbox. The 2002 model, sometimes known as the mk2, also saw body revisions, which increased stiffness, improved handling and crash safety. In the intervening years the Porsche has been maintained well by its two owners, with 10 services having been recorded by either Porsche main dealers or respected marque specialists. In the last 10 years the car has only covered 11,000 miles, most of which in the current recent ownership. Notably the 996 is offered with a very recent service by Walkers Autotech Porsche, a fresh MOT and a full set of new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. Finished in silver with a grey leather interior, this outstanding example is very well specified from new, and also benefits from a recent upgrade to a new Kenwood sound system (the original Porsche item will be supplied with the car), and is also offered with both sets of keys. The 996 Turbo has rapidly becoming an especially collectible variant of the 911, and a low mileage manual gearbox version with the X50 upgrade is the one to have. An exceptional example of a very desirable supercar.

1965 Volkswagen Split Screen Camper Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 286039638

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000

The VW Camper needs no introduction. It set the standard when it comes to obtaining freedom and adventure on the open road and at its core is the philosophy ‘home is where you park it’. The first generation of the Volkswagen T1 split windshield, informally called the Microbus, Splitscreen, or Splittie among modern fans, was produced from 8 March 1950 through to the end of the 1967 model year. These iconic vans have been used around the world for a variety of purposes but they are most renowned and loved as campervans. Finished in red over cream with cream interior and red piping, this beautiful and desirable split-screen example is presented in excellent order throughout. With 4 new tires, under-sealed, fitted with air-con and offered with 12 moths MOT, this wonderful example is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

1969 Lancia Fulvia Zagato In current ownership for 46 years Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 818.333.2671

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000

The Lancia Fulvia was available in Berlina, Coupé, Rallye and Sport guises. However it was the Coupé version that proved most popular and gained the racing accolades the Fulvia is credited with. Its handsome and distinctive lines, coupled with the famous narrow angle V4 engine have since contributed to its reputation as a modern classic. Fulvias are notable for their role in motor racing history, including winning the International Rally Championship in 1972. On testing it in 1967, Road & Track magazine summed up the Fulvia as: “a precision motorcar, an engineering tour de force.” Even more exotic was the Fulvia Sport, Zagato’s coach-built version of the coupe, which had a more aerodynamic and exotic body. The 1300cc Sport Zagato engine produced 87bhp with a top speed of 109 mph. Less wilfully eccentric than some of Carrozzeria’s other creations, the Fulvia Sport became the best selling Zagato-bodied car ever. This exceptionally rare and beautiful matching numbers example was registered new to the UK in 1969. The Fulvia was with its first owner until 1972, at which point ownership passed to the current family, who have owned the car ever since. The owner, a Lancia Owner’s Club member, enjoyed his Fulvia for many years before in 2010 entrusting marque specialist Brian Polden to restore the car comprehensively. This restoration is well documented with numerous photographs and invoices for works completed. Since being completed the Lancias has been kept in a temperaturecontrolled garaged, and as such is still presented in excellent condition in every respect. The Zagato has been used only in dry weather and mainly for display at local classic car rallies. The Fulvia Zagato is without doubt one of the most interesting of Ercole Spada’s efforts for Zagato, and this beautiful example, one of only two known cars of this year in the UK, must surely rank as the best.

1955 Austin Healey 100 M specification Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: BN1/224917-M

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000

These were cars that an upper middle-class owner could drive to work and rally or race on the weekends. But they weren’t cheap. Next came the Nash-Healey sports car. But despite modestly priced-running gear from the American independent manufacturer, the chassis, suspension and coachwork still resulted in a car that cost more than $4,000. Healey was well aware that he needed a car that could be built in larger numbers and sold at a lower price in the rapidly emerging sports car market in the new world. MG and Jaguar were selling the bulk of their production to North America and Triumph was readying the TR2. Using the four-cylinder 2.6 litre Austin A-90 engine and transmission, as well as other components from the parts bin of newly-formed BMC (a merger of the Austin and Nuffield/Morris companies), Healey produced a sleek and beautiful prototype styled by Gerry Coker. Healey showed his “Healey Hundred” at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show in the UK and caught the eye of BMC supreme Leonard Lord. Again, Healey’s timing was perfect. Lord selected his car over a new MG prototype, thus delaying the replacement of the old-fashioned MG TD, which was also in the BMC family. When it went on sale in 1953, the beautiful Austin-Healey 100 cost less than $3,000 in the United States and would top 100mph. Those first cars, designated BN1, used the 90 bhp Austin engine, a three-speed transmission with overdrive and were happily received in the United States, which took most of the 10,688 cars produced. The beautiful BN1 Austin-Healey 100 on offer was built in March 1955 and was delivered through Dove Limited, Croydon London with a heater and wire wheels. The chain of ownership can be traced back to Mr Van Santen who owned the car in Middlesex from 1961 to 1970. The car changes hands twice in two years before a December 1973 Motorsport Magazine highlights the car for sale. Detailed letters dating January 1974 show correspondence between the new owner and the Healey owners Club. Correspondence in the cars file confirms it underwent a detailed restoration at this time. The car changed hands again in 1979 to 1989, where it was the property of Mr McIntyre ( A Director of the Royal Automobile Club) and formed part of the well regarded Sorn Castle Collection. In 1989 the car was sold to Mr Summers who owned the car until 1991. Denis Welch carried out an engine overhaul at this time. The car moves to Cumbria in 1992 where it remained the property of a Mr Coulthard until changing hands to the present keeper in 2000. In 2005 the car underwent its second restoration by Colin Groom of Newton Abbot, Devon. Details are in the file. Between 2002 and 2009 £30,000 was spent on a variety of works, both mechanical and to the body. With over £5,000 spent with Molesey Coach trimmers re-trimming the vehicle to a very high standard indeed. With its M specification upgrades, and larger radiator this car has been caressed by its fastidious owner to insure it has become an excellent example mechanically- performing as well in London traffic as it does on a country lane this well sorted example, with a large history file would be perfect for continental tours and events.

1991 Honda NSX Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: NA1-1003053 Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000

The legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna. The NSX featured a state of the art 3.0-litre V6 ‘VTEC’ engine (variable valve timing) and an all-aluminium monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension. This made the car extremely light and extremely strong. Other game-changing features included 4 channel ABS brakes, titanium connecting rods in the engine and later in the model’s life – an electric power steering system as well as an upgrade to a 3.2-litre V6 engine. The car was the first real Japanese ‘Supercar’, proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. Production continued right up until 2005, with only subtle changes made throughout its life. Finished in Gunmetal grey with contrasting black leather interior, this headturning NSX has travelled a modest 69,000 miles from new. In all-round very good condition the car is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

1976 Lancia Montecarlo Spider Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £17,000 - £20,000

The Beta Montecarlo was originally designated the X 20 and was to be the ‘big brother’ of the Fiat X 19, but whilst deciding what engine to fit, ranging from Abarth derived units, Abarth had carried out a lot of development work on the car, to the 3.2 V6 from the 130, the 2.0 litre Lancia Beta engine was used as it had a good blend of performance and economy. The name Montecarlo came from Munari’s recent win of the Montecarlo rally in a Stratos and in February 1975 it became the Lancia Beta Montecarlo and was first shown at Geneva in March. Our vendor was finding it difficult to find a good example in the UK, so this beautiful rust-free and never welded example was discovered recently in Sicily. This Montecarlo is a very early car and supplied as the more desirable Spider version, finished from new in white with a rare blue Palazzi cloth interior. Mechanically the car is excellent, with good power delivery and a smooth gearchange, aided by replacement throttle linkages and cable and new gear link bushes. The steering rack has been overhauled and a four-wheel alignment has been carried, additionally all brake calipers have been stripped and cleaned. Sold with a full service and cambelt change, this is a very well sorted example of what is rapidly becoming a rather desirable Italian sportscar.

1986 Porsche 924S Coupe Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ92ZGN400471

Estimate: ÂŁ3,500 - ÂŁ4,500

Introduced in November 1975, the Porsche 924 was the first production Porsche with a water-cooled front engine. The 2+2 coupe was developed as a joint project between Volkswagen and Porsche and was intended as a replacement of the 914. A rear transaxle with a 48/52 front/rear weight distribution made the car handle exceptionally well and it ended up being a huge sales success for Porsche, with over 150,000 examples being sold during its 11-year production run. The 924 was the car that saved Porsche from financial ruin. The original 924 was panned by critics for its poor performance from its 2.0-liter VW engine, but luckily Porsche had improvements in the works. The year 1983 saw the introduction of the much-improved 944, which although similar visually to the 924, featured an all-new alloy 2.5-liter inline four. In 1986, Porsche decided to put the 944 engine in the 924 and release it as the 924 S. The 924 S had 50 percent more power than the standard 924, giving it the performance it always should have had. The 924 S offered owners similar performance to the 924 Turbo, but with vastly improved reliability and at a cheaper price. Finished in Grand Prix white with a contrasting pinstripe interior, this later 924S is offered with full service history (including a recent service), original Porsche books and manuals, a number of older MOTs and invoices, and three original keys. Notably the 924 starred in a feature in Modern Classics magazine earlier in 2018, a copy of which is included in the file. The 924 is rapidly finding its place in the classic car world, and this later example, fitted with the more powerful Porsche-derived motor, provides excellent value in the current market.

Ref 84 1988 BMW 635 CSI Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA

Estimate: £10,000 - £13,000

The E24 6 series was produced from 1976-1989 and was the replacement for the CS and CSL E9 coupes. Like the E9 coupes, the early bodies of the 6 were manufactured by Karmann until production was moved in-house by BMW. It was the proven E12 5 series that provided the chassis and much of the mechanicals for the E24. Dubbed the ‘Bavarian Ferrari’ the 6 series was a high end two door luxury sports coupe. The 628 model was produced until 1987 and was a budget model for the European market. The 633 Csi featured the first generation of DME and ABS brakes were available as an option. The following year, the 635 CSi received the same DME as the 633 Csi. On offer here is a wonderful example of the final edition 635 CSI. Presented in immaculate Dolphin Grey metallic paint with Natural leather interior, which includes roof lining, dashboard, centre console and door cards. Still retaining its original carpet over mats which are barely worn, the car has had only three previous owners from new and comes with a Full Service History accompanied by all invoices of work carried out. Registered new in late 1988, the previous custodian acquired the car as a ‘used and approved example’ from BMW on the 3rd April 1990; his original purchase invoice is within the records. Owning the car for over 25 years, he always kept the car in a climate-controlled garage, as has the current vendor, which would account for the stunning and solid condition of the car. A true testament to its caring custodianship. Said to drive wonderfully, this largely original car has just been serviced by a well-respected BMW specialist. Offered with 3 x spare keys and a valid MOT due to expire 01/02/2019.

1972 Fiat 500 Lusso Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: FIAT110F29A0228

Estimate: £7,000 - £10,000

Launched as the Nuova (new) 500 in July 1957, it was a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only 2.97 metres long and originally powered by an appropriately sized 479cc, two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term “city car” and is considered one of the first city cars. The ‘L’ or Lusso (manufactured between 1968–1972), was the penultimate 499cc model. The main change for the L is a much-modernised interior, including a renewed dashboard which brought the Fiat 500 up to date. Greater comfort and style were provided in this new model for the new generation. The Lusso additionally had a sunroof, and extra refinements such as a “super bumper” as well as chrome strips for the window surrounds. This original Fiat 500 Lusso was born in Turin in 1972 and is finished in Avorio Antico with a black contrasting interior, and has covered approximately 58,000 miles. The car benefits from an increased capacity 650cc engine and has had a new Record Monza Twin Pipe sports exhaust fitted, brackets and gasket, along with new plugs, points, condenser and also benefits from an uprated air filter. It is no surprise that this particular 500 was one of the stars of the Goodwood Revival last year and will offer the new owner no end of driving pleasure.

1973 Fiat 124 Coupe 1800 Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: 0225438

Estimate: £10,000 - £13,000

Launched in 1967 as a coupe and spider with a 90hp 1.4 litre twin cam engine, disc brakes all round a 5 speed gearbox and double wishbone front suspension. The two cars received universal praise as a nimble fun to drive sports car, the only real criticism being that they were slightly underpowered, the first revision, ‘B’ sought to answer this by the addition of a 110 bhp high compression twin carburetor 1.6 but Fiat in their wisdom ‘softened’ the suspension and changed the cars personality, this did not please everybody. In answer the third and final revision ‘C’ saw a return to the original and tighter suspension set up and further power now with 1800cc and 120bhp as well as the 1600, so the car finally had both the power and handling to match. This most desirable third series car, first registered in April 1973, has been with just 3 owners from new. During this time the Fiat either resided in the Italian regions of Perugia or Sicily, as such all body panels are factory original and the car shows no signs of corrosion. The beautiful and original interior is finished in an unusual black and white check cloth, and the 124 was further specified with optional Cromadora 68 magnesium alloy wheels. We understand the engine is in perfect condition, starting instantly and crisply, with rapid throttle response, excellent oil pressure, and not a whiff of blue smoke. The cam belt and tensioner have been changed and the carburettor has been cleaned and re-set. The gearbox is light and quick with no noise or synchromesh issues. The bodywork is very straight with even gaps and door shuts, the original seats are in excellent condition, the carpets are as new, and the dash is uncracked. The 124 has benefitted from a new fuel tank, brake master cylinder and thermostat, a full service with all fluids (including the brake fluid), cam belt and tensioner bearing, also the brake calipers have been cleaned and re-sealed. The 124 will also be offered with its original full tool kit, jack and alloy spare wheel. Fiat 124s are highly underrated cars, with light precise steering, sublime gear change, a crisp engine note and powerful brakes, and this example must rank amongst the nicest we have seen.

1984 Porsche 924 Coupe Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WPOZZZ92ZFN400705

Estimate: £2,500 - £3,500

The Porsche 924 is a luxury sports car which was produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1976 to 1988. A two-door, 2+2 coupé, the 924 replaced the 914 as the company’s entry-level model, and was the model that finally retired the 912. In production terms, the 924 was the first Porsche model powered by a watercooled, front-mounted engine although the similarly configured 928 was designed first. The front-engine, rear wheel drive arrangement was normal for most other manufacturers, but it was unusual for Porsche having previously only used mid- or rear-mounted engines of a boxer configuration, all of which had been air-cooled.

First registered in November 1984, this well presented matching numbers example is offered with full history and Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche. The 924 has just enjoyed a full service including all fluids, spark plugs and leads and ignition components. Additionally the 924 has benefitted from a new warm up regulator and attention to the fuel injection system.

Fitted with the factory fitted radio and documentation including the original bill of sale from Porsche, if you are seeking a practical yet stylish entry level classic then look no further
