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’

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.

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 misstatement 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 misstatement 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.

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.

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”.

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.

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

to the vehicle in the Seller’s possession or control which he agreed with Coys to supply.

21.3. 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

Lot 101

1960 Puch Cheetah - one owner from new Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £700 - £1,200 €750 - €1,300 $850 - $1,400

The Roller-Scooter became a popular style across the continent, and a number of other European companies produced variants on the Roller-Scooter theme during the later 1950s. The Puch Cheetah DS60K Mini-Roller Scooter was first listed in the UK from February 1960 to December 1960, and was then replaced by the more powerful Mark II DS60R in February 1961.

The Puch Cheetah came in two models, DS50R of 50cc, and DS60R of 60cc, with the same 70kg weight given for both types.

The motors were basically a kick-start derivative of the established fan-cooled three-speed moped engine, but both models were fitted with a 17mm Bing carburettor for greater performance.

This 1960 DS60K version has had just one owner from new, covering a mere 2,722 miles in that time. The Cheetah starts and runs with a nice quiet engine, and is super-original with fitted tools and pump under the seat. Last used in 1983, and with its cherished original registration number and keys, this is a charming example of a what is a rare sight on today’s roads.

1953 Fiat Topolino Giardiniera Registration Number: TBA

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £4,000 - £6,000 €4,500 - €6,500 $5,000 - $7,000

File Image

Better equipped than many cars twice its size, the FIAT 500 – soon nick named ‘Topolino’ (mouse) – brought a degree of refinement hitherto known to small cars when launched in 1936. Lockheed hydraulic brak independent front suspension and 12-volt electrics were all features w an engine mounted ahead of the front axle helped maximise cabin space for the two occupants. The 569cc, four-cylinder, sidevalve mot produced a modest 13bhp but as the Topolino weighed little more th half a ton it could nevertheless manage a respectable 50mph-plus un favourable conditions. For most buyers though, the frugal (up-to-50m fuel consumption would have been the major attraction. Introduced 1946, the 500B featured a more powerful (16.5bhp) overhead-valve engine that would be carried over to the T polino’s final incarnation – the restyled 500C of 1949, which was the first FIAT model to offer a heat de-misting system as standard.

At the same time as the 500B was introduced, a Giardiniera station wagon (also known as the Belvedere) was added to the range, offering four-seat accommodation as well as increased luggag space. Equipped with the superior overhead-valve engine, these Giardiniera station wagons were genuine 60mph cars.

1994 Range Rover Vogue SE Offered at No Reserve Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SALLHAMM3KA647524 Estimate: ÂŁ4,000 - ÂŁ6,000 NO RESERVE

This excellent classic Range Rover was the top of the range SE model with many optional extras fitted from new including air suspension, electric heated seats, traction control, sunroof, air conditioning and more. The interior was also treated to leather upholstery throughout and it was also treated to an LPG conversion; which of course is reversible if desired.

Having recently been rescued from 9 years of storage the current owner carried out an oil and filter change before taking the car on a 10 mile road test. It is said to start and run very well but would benefit from some further restoration work to bring it back to its former glory.

1952 Morris Minor Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: FAB211228181 Estimate: £3,500 - £5,000 €4,000 - €5,500 $4,000 - $6,000

The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, on 20 September 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, more than 1.3 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972 in three series: the MM (1948 to 1953), the Series II (1952 to 1956) and finally the 1000 series (1956 to 1971).

Initially available as a two-door saloon and convertible, the range was expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950, a wood-framed estate, the Traveller from October 1953 and panel van and pick-up truck variants from May 1953. It was the first British car to sell over one million units and is considered a classic example of automotive design, as well as typifying “Englishness”.

This Series II is a charming example of the early split-screen Morris Minors which are a rare sight on British roads now. An iconic little car that is sure to bring a smile to a new owner. A detailed restoration was carried out in 1995 by the current owner, and viewing of the paperwork relating to this is encouraged. The car has an MOT until March 2020 for added peace of mind.

1987 Porsche 944 Coupe Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £4,000 - £8,000 €4,500 - €9,000 $5,000 - $10,000

Announced in 1981, the 944 was the third of Porsche’s new family of front-engined sports cars. The first of the line, the 924, had arrived in November 1975 and drew heavily on Volkswagen/Audi components: the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine being a development of the Audi 100’s and the four-speed transaxle transmission a VW unit. Six years later, along came its close relative – the 944 – which was constructed along similar lines and from a distance hard to tell apart from its 924 progenitor.

Beneath the bodywork (50mm wider than the 924’s) was a 2.5-litre, 163bhp overhead-camshaft ‘four’ – in effect half of the 928’s V8 bored out – fitted with twin balancer shafts to counter the vibration often encountered in such units. The rear transaxle – a five-speed affair this time – was retained, while the 924-type running gear was suitably up-rated to cope with the 944’s superior performance. Subsequent developments included a Turbo, 16-valve 944S/S2 and a cabriolet.

This wonderful 944 has had an extensive recommissioning having come out of a six year dry storage period with a history file and photographic record of the work. This included new sills, refurbished original Teledial wheels, reupholstered front seats, overhauled suspension and steering. The brakes were also overhauled, the timing belts were replaced and all fluids and serviced. The sunroof has also been looked after and is said to be dry and in good working order. Every effort was made to maintain originality with this wonderful example and it certainly presents exceptionally well.

1984 Lotus Esprit S3

Featured on BBC Television, Music Videos, Marketing and Product Launches Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 1172 Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000 €11,000 – 13,000 $12,000 - $14,000

In 1970 Tony Rudd, who had arrived at Lotus the previous year, proposed two new model development projects. The first, Project M50, resulted in the 1974 Elite. The second, Project M70, meant to develop a successor to the Europa which, like the Europa, was to be a twodoor fixed-head mid-engined coupé.

Work began on the new car in mid-1971 with production of a 1:4 scale model. According to Italdesign, Chapman was disappointed with the wind-tunnel test results with the model and halted the project, but the Italian carrozzeria pressed on and built a full-size mock-up on a stretched, modified Europa chassis. That nameless prototype, often simply called the Silver Car, appeared on the Italdesign stand at the 1972 Turin Auto Show and convinced Chapman to approve further development.

This Esprit S3 represents an example of the last of the line of the legendary Giugiaro designed classics, dating back to the legendary Esprit deiven by Roger Moore as James Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me, where the legend began.

driving very well.

This example is appropriately finished in the white of the original James Bond car, with a red leather and cloth interior, and described by the vendor as good to excellent in all areas and running and

Most recently, the car has benefited from important service items such as a new water pump and cam belt which has been fitted, along with a new battery, a key component of classic car reliability.

This particular Esprit boasts its own celebrity status, as it is featured in a number of television and media events, including BBC Celebrity Antiques Roadtrip, where it was driven in production by actress Claire Sweeney, and at the other end of the spectrum featured in a marketing campaign for bespoke Saville Row shirt maker and taylor Charles Tyrwhitt.

The vendor has also informed us that the car has recently featured in a music video for which at the time of writing information was under embargo, as the music track is yet to be released, but no doubt adding additional weight to the car’s already regognised celebrity status.

1978 Triumph Stag Mk 2 Matching Numbers and Condition 1+ Two private owners and 36,000 miles from new Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate £15,000 - £18,000 €16,000 - €20,000 $18,000 - $22,000:

Stylish, fast and practical, the Stag began life as a Triumph 2000-based styling exercise by Italian carrossier Giovanni Michelotti. A 2+2 convertible, Michelotti’s design featured a quad-lamp grille and sculpted front and rear ends, the latter destined to appear on many future Triumphs. By the time production commenced in 1970, the 2000’s six-cylinder engine had been replaced by a 3.0-litre V8 based on an overhead-camshaft four already being produced by Triumph for SAAB. A padded, ‘T’-shaped roll bar bracing the door pillars and windscreen was one of the Stag’s most distinctive features, and the model could be had in soft-top, hardtop, or soft-with-hardtop forms.

This Mark II Triumph Stag comes with a black hood and matching hardtop. A condition ‘1+’ car with matching numbers, this Stag can only be described as being as close to a new Stag as you could get at 38 years old. Owned by only 1 family and 2 private owners from new the vehicle is supplied with a nominal mileage of just 36,000 and a comprehensive history file with bills and invoices for many thousands. Accompanied by spare keys, heritage certificate, MOT’s, tax discs and handbook, this car has clearly had a charmed life. This Stag is an exceptional vehicle, quite removed from the majority of its moderate condition counterparts and represents a rare buying opportunity.

1983 Maserati Quattroporte III Classic Car Magazine Cover and Main Feature Car Feature Car, Autoitalia Magazine - Maintained by McGrath Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000 €18,000 - €22,000 $20,000 - $25,000

The third generation Maserati Quattroporte created a new kind of supercar with four doors and four comfortable seats. The first version, launched in 1963, was a comfortable automobile capable of exceeding 200 km/h. The series III, launched in 1978, met with wide success, with a career that lasted eleven years and 2,141 units sold during this period. Designed by Giugiaro and angular in style, the car featured a four camshaft V8, in its 4.9-litre version, developing 280bhp and mated to an automatic gearbox. It had a very luxurious interior, with pleated natural leather seats and rosewood trim on the dashboard and doors.

This superb example has been in the current ownership for 20 years and has benefitted from being regularly serviced by renowned marque specialists, Bill McGrath. The history file also contains MOT’s dating back to 1999 when he bought the car and this cherished Maserati has of course been kept garaged. No stranger to public attention, this Quattroporte has featured in several magazine articles at home and abroad showing just how exemplary it is. Described by the vendor to be in very good to excellent condition throughout, we suggest that any inspection would come to the same conclusion. A truly wonderful opportunity that is not to be missed.

Lot 109

1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth Two Owners from New - 49,000 Miles Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 59997 Estimate: £26,000 - £28,000 €29,000 €31,000 $31,000 - $34,000

The Sapphire Cosworth, being based on a different shell to the original three-door Cosworth, along with its more discreet rear wing, recorded a drag co-efficient of 0.33, thus allowing it to register slightly better performance figures (top speed of 150 mph and 0-60 of 6.1 seconds) compared to the original Cosworth.

Unlike its earlier two-door (Tea tray) cousin, the Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth was one of the great wolves in sheep’s clothing of the modern era.

No further punctuation at this point can be made that in actual fact the Sapphire was actually a quicker and higher performance car than the earlier three-door tea tray express, and much more of a gentleman’s performance machine, being less obvious and more discreet – but again with greater performance.

This particular Sapphire Cosworth is of particular note, as it is entirely authentic and original, and with two private owners from new and a full service history from new, documenting its very meagre 49,000 miles.

So many of these super-saloons that were prevalent during the 1990s, whether it be the BMW M5, the Lotus Carlton or indeed the Superperformance, descended into a life so commonplace with high-performance cars which reach the price point not intended when they are produced, and as such are modified, customised, raced and destroyed, and ultimately lost to us – this Sierra Sapphire Cosworth is not such a machine. It remains pure, unaffected, with original paint and interior, exactly as it has always been, which is now a key touchstone for collectors of cars of this period, as so few exist so unmolested and so genuine. The car even retains its original Dunlop D40 spare tyre and is fitted with full black leather interior, which was a very expensive option at the time.

With the youngtimer market being so popular, and enthusiasm for cars of this period growing on an annual basis, this is a car that must be noticed, as it stands head and shoulders above its peers.

1976 Jaguar XJ12C -Registration Number: UK Registered:

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £16,000 - £19,000 €17,000 - €21,000 $19,000 - $23,000

The XJ12C really represented the end of the bespoke, hand-built specialist luxury British super-coupe, with its 5.3 litre V12 engine, stylish hand-finished 2-door coupe bodywork, they were the definitive stylish machine for captains of industry, television and movie stars and giants of popular music.

They exuded British style and panache in a way that the American and European offerings of the time just couldn’t compete with – an American touring cope of the time: too brash, too loud. A similar German machine of the period: Emotionless and Teutonic. Yet the Jaguar had it all. Such a broad variety of roles this machine played that they were seen at the top of the competitive ladder with the V12 Broadspeed racing versions, and arguably on a level with James Bond himself, Britain’s most stylish secret agent John Steed drove an XJ12C in The New Avengers.

This particular example is beautifully finished in a very patriotic Squadron Blue, with a complementary tan interior, was delivered new in the UK in 1976. Grateful must the first owner have been for his luxury purchase with air conditioning – readers might recall the summer of 1976 being one of the hottest on record in the British Isles.

Described by the vendor as being in excellent condition in all respects, including engine, body, chassis, interior, transmission and paint, our own inspection clearly provides us with a similar opinion. Offered with all relevant road paperwork and sundry documentation.

1958 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: H580131784 Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000 €13,000 - €16,500 $14,500 - $18,000

Chevrolet’s design for the year fared better than its other GM offerings, and lacked the overabundance of chrome found on Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Buicks and Cadillacs. Complementing Chevrolet’s front design was a broad grille and quad headlights that helped simulate a ‘Baby Cadillac’; the wagon’s tail received a fan-shaped alcove on both side panels, similar to the sedan’s, but the wagons housed single tail lights instead of dual (triple on Impala) to accommodate the tailgate.

The sedan delivery was a two-door model that normally looked like a station wagon with panel sides instead of rear side windows. It carried a Delray script at the leading edge of the rear fender panel and shared Delray trim with other passenger cars in that series.

This superb 1958 delivery wagon cuts quite a dash in the most American fashion, and is understood to be the only 1958 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery in the UK. Described as being meticulously maintained by the vendor, it has been a labour of love of ownership and has consistently been maintained and looked after to the highest standard, with the added benefit that American cars of this era boast a strength and reliability unlike many other over-engineered European cars of the period.

Interested parties should be under no illusion that this is a wolf in a very stylish sheep’s clothing – under the bonnet lurks none other than a 327 cubic inch Chevrolet Corvette motor linked to a new turbo 350 gearbox, a power pack such as this making the car not only something to be reckoned with on a quarter mile, but more importantly the ability to cruise in modern traffic conditions at modern speeds.

Other sensible driver-based upgrades include power steering, an upgraded dual braking system with front disc brakes and recently replaced rear brakes, and a final addition to everyday drivability is a new aluminium radiator, and if that’s not enough, alongside the original factory radio is a modern CD/ Aux/DAB radio.

This unique ’58 sedan delivery came to the UK approximately 10 years ago and prior to that had been in single family ownership - for over three decades in San Jose, California.

With the shabby-chic style that classic vans and commercial vehicles enjoy today at events such as Goodwood, Schloss Dyck and other historic festivals, this sedan delivery, with all the manners of a beautifully engineered classic road car, has the added benefit of being a bit different and very cool.

1962 Fiat Abarth 850 TC Tribute Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 100D-1307828 Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000 €9,000 - €11,000 $9,500 - $12,000

Abarth began in business, like so many other motoring concerns in post-war Italy, modifying small capacity cars from Fiat. When the latter introduced the Nuova 500, and then the 600, Abarth suddenly had a mass produced basis on which to build giant-killing racing cars. This sealed Abarth’s future and his firm went from strength to strength, going on to win more races than any other manufacturer; some 7,000 in total, in addition to 5 world and 113 international speed records. In all categories contested, Abarth was virtually unbeatable, even by larger engine race cars and the firm won six successive World Manufacturers Championship titles in the mid-1960’s, along with the European Mountain Climb Championship and numerous other titles. It is no surprise then to learn that Carlo Abarth was nicknamed ‘The Wizard’ or ‘The Sorcerer’!

This authentic 850TC Tribute was built to a high standard over a 3 year period from a rust-free “suicide-door” shell which was located in Portugal, supplied with a Fiat Classiche Certificate to confirm the build date and chassis numbers.

The Fiat was fitted with a later 900cc engine which was balanced and rebuilt with new pistons, an Abarth camshaft, the correct Weber 36DCD carburettor and an alloy sump. A rare five-speed road specification gearbox was fitted with new driveshafts, the suspension overhauled with Abarth springs and Spax shock absorbers, and the brakes upgraded to disc brakes to the front. Period Campagnolo wheels are in place as are period bucket seats, a new wiring loom and replacement lighting system.

With only 20 miles having been covered since the build, this is a really well sorted and hugely enjoyable weekend car for the road or track - a must see!

Chassis Number: 190045 Estimate: £8,000 - £12,000 €9,000 - €13,000 $9,000 - $14,000

The Bi-Turbo was initially a strong seller and brought Italian prestige to a wide audience and competed (unsuccessfully) in the British Touring Car Championship in the late 1980’s, the European Touring Car Championship and the 1987 World Touring Car Championship. The Spyder version was introduced at the Turin Motor Show in 1984 and was designed and built by the world class designers, Zagato. Overall 3,076 were built over a ten year period, setting a production record for Maserati Spyders.

Firstly and most importantly, interested parties should note that this particular Maserati Bi-Turbo in open spyder configuration, the most desirable, can boast a full service history from new, with a recent full service, vcam belt change, carburettor rebuild, and reset of all timing and tuning, completed by none other than Maserati super-specialists Bill McGrath.

With its celebrity first ownership, it is very important to note that the car has all of its handbooks in the original leather wallet, alongside the original tool roll and a number of expensive factory options and accessories installed prior to delivery to Sir Elton, including split rim wheels with continental tyres all round, and, unsurprising for the Rocket Man, a stereo equipment upgrade which in period cost £4,000.

It is important to note that all the original delivery documentation refers clearly to the car being supplied to Sir Elton John and his noted management company, William A Bong Ltd. With its super-A-list celebrity ownership from new, and most recently its super-specialist full mechanical overhaul by Bill McGrath, both ends of the car’s life to date show excellent prospects, and it is hard to envisage a more interesting and attractive Bi-Turbo.

1995 Ferrari 456 GT Original Right Hand Drive Rare Manual Gearbox Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £35,000 - £42,000 €38,000 - €46,000 $42,000 - $50,000

The Pininfarina designed original 456 was available in GT and (from 1996) GTA forms. The difference in name signifies the transmission: the former has a six-speed manual and the latter has a four-speed automatic developed in partnership with FF Developments in Livonia, MI (which was later purchased by Ricardo Engineering in the UK).

The name 456 is derived from the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimetres. This was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. It is essentially a detuned version of the engine that appears in the 550 and 575. Despite its supercar performance, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine, which has proven to be a very reliable unit. The chassis is a tubular steel spaceframe construction with a onepiece composite bonnet and body panels of aluminium. The body panels are welded to the chassis by using a special “sandwich filler” called feran that, when laid between, allows steel and aluminium to be welded.

Delivered new via the UK legacy Ferrari agents Maranello Concessionaires, this original right hand drive car is of an extremely desirable specification, as it was ordered new with a traditional six-speed manual gearbox. This renders the car a rare machine indeed.

Historical reference will confirm that during the mid-1990s, Tiptronic and, in Ferrari’s case, the F1-style quick-shift automatic gearbox with paddles on the steering column was the fashion of the day, although retrospectively this style of transmission has become less desirable in the marketplace – so this car, upon delivery, may have seemed somewhat anachronistic in 1995 but is certainly an extraordinary bonus to the Ferrari driver today and is highly sought after.

A 456 GT is rooted in the great traditions of the classic Ferrari – and in this case, a manual geabox, front-engined 12-cylinder: the ultimate triple bill. This particular example has had only three owners from new during its life, with comprehensive and documented service history and MoTs etc – a comprehensive transcript of the car’s entire life, and most recently bills documenting an expenditure of some £70,000 in recent years, providing any new owner with one of the most celebrated big Ferrari GT cars of the modern era.

1961 Austin Healey 3000 -Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: HBT7L6330 Estimate: £38,000 - £45,000 €42,000 - €50,000 $45,000 - $55,000

The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967. It is the best known of the “big Healey” models. The car’s bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at BMC’s MG Works in Abingdon, alongside the corporation’s MG models.

During its production life, the car transitioned from an open sports car, albeit with a child-transporting 2+2 option, to a sports convertible.

In 1963, 91.5 per cent of all Austin-Healey 3000 cars were exported; mostly to North America. The 3-litre 3000 was a highly successful car, which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday and is still raced in classic car competitions by enthusiasts today.

This exceptionally well restored “Big Healey” has been refereshed, restored and renewed for a new owner and many years in the future, having been comprehensively rebuilt and repainted with all new interior, brakes, convertible hood and other sundry mechanical items in only February of this year.

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

The seller describes the body, chassis, interior and paintwork – indeed all cosmetic components – as excellent, and inspection confirms this. Mechanically the car is in good condition. Along with its cosmetic considerations, it is ready to provide the new owner with many enjoyable years of open-top classic British motoring.

Finished in the classic Healey colours of Ice Blue over white with a black leather interior, this really is the ubiquitous all-round classic brute.

1924 Amilcar CC Recorded with the Amilcar Salmon Register Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 4876 Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000 €20,000 - €24,000 $21,000 - $26,000

The 4-cylinder 903cc Amilcar CC appeared in 1922, with a wheelbase of just 2,320 mm (91 in). The CC subsequently became available in two further versions; the Amilcar C4 was a slightly longer sports car, while the CS, introduced in 1924,[1] was a brisker sports version with the engine size increased to 1004 cc. The side-valve engine had splash lubrication, and came with a three-speed gearbox. The most famous model of all was the CGS “Grand Sport” of 1924; this featured a 1074 cc sv engine and fourwheel brakes. This in turn evolved into the more sporty CGSS “Grand Sport Surbaissé”. These models were built under license in Germany (as the Pluto) and in Austria (as the Grofri) and in Italy (as Amilcar Italiana). The marque entered automobile racing in the mid-1920s with a batch of supercharged dohc 1100 cc six-cylinder cars that used a roller bearing crankshaft in the full racing version; these vehicles were also available with plain metal bearings, driven by famous race driver André Morel.

The Amilcar CC was a light sporting car produced by the French Amilcar company from 1922 to 1925.

It was powered by a 903 cc four-cylinder, side-valve engine generating 18 bhp. This 1924 Amilcar CC was built some two years into production of the popular and enduring Amilcar CC model by manufacturer Aurtomobiles Amilcar, 35 Rue de Chemin Vert, Paris, and this is confirmed by the register.

Like many pre-war cars of this period from the 1920s, it was an export model, and has spent all of its life in the dry benign climates of continental Australia, prior to returning to the UK earlier in this decade.

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

Amilcars of any and all types and specifications were rare and groundbreaking cars, with certain models very much on a par with, perhaps even superior to their domestic French stablemate Bugatti. An opportunity to purchase such a definitive vintage sporting motor car is unusual, despite the fact that the Amilcar brand has not existed at any point in the curreny century or beyond, the name itself still resonates with car collectors and enthusiasts of all types. There can be no further testament to its legend than that. The car is offered with UK V5 registration document, the extract confirming the car from the aforementioned register, and other sundry documents and paperwork.

2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WPOCAA29875L001361 Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000 €72,000 - €82,000 $78,000 - $90,000

Finished in the classic Ferrari colours cheme of Rosso Corsa with a Tan Leather interior, this impressive example has covered a mere 25,000 miles from new, supported by a Ferrari Dealership History.

Importantly this 599 benefits from the Handling GTE (Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione) package for the model to further underscore its sportiness and handling.

The package includes a modified set-up with stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar as well as new calibration settings for the magnetorheological shock absorbers when the manettino is at its sportier settings.

The ride height has also been lowered which in turn lowers the car’s centre of gravity. This combined with the new set-up helps improve body control. The package also includes specifically optimised tyres featuring a compound that offers even better grip.

The car’s electronics have also evolved to ensure even more prompt response to driver commands.

The F1 gearbox’s shifts are now even faster in high-performance settings, while a new engine software strategy has improved accelerator response.

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

The exhaust silencer has also been modified with the result producing an even more marked and thrilling sound under hard usage whilst still delivering just the right comfort levels at cruising speed.

From a styling point of view, the package also includes some distinctively sporty exterior and interior features with carbon-fibre widely used in the latter. The 20′ split-rim wheels are new with a special diamond-cut and matte silver finish. The rear diffuser is finished in matte black to underscore the car’s new set-up and highlight the chromed tail pipes. The cabin is sportier too thanks to a sophisticated mix of fullgrain leather, black Alcantara® and carbon-fibre trim.

An exceptional modern super GT and excellent value in the current market.

1924 LaFayette Model 134 Coupe

Owned from new until 2001 by the first owners - The Glovers (Roosevelt) The finest example in existence Registration Number: EU Registered

Chassis Number: 2978 Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000 €38,000 - €45,000 $42,000 - $48,000

Founded during 1919 and based in Mars Hill, Indiana, the LaFayette Motors Company boasted the technical expertise of none other than D’Orsay McCall White. An expat Glaswegian, McCall White served as chief engineer to the Daimler Motor Car Company, D. Napier & Son (where he designed a Land Speed Record car) and Crossley Motors before emigrating to the USA. Personally responsible for devising Cadillac’s first V8 engine, the Type 51, he later became the company’s vice president and was one of three people entrusted with developing the V12 Liberty aircraft engine during World War One. Drawing upon his aeronautical experience, 5.7 litre V8 engine that McCall White created for the LaFayette Model 134 featured a hollow case crankshaft weighing just 30.5lbs, air-pressurised fuel delivery system, internally driven accessories using Morse type chains, twin crankshaft-driven back-to-back water pumps, manifolding routed through the cylinder block and a dual exhaust system to the rear of the car which resulted in low back pressure.

Fed by a multi-jet carburettor, the sophisticated power-plant developed 100bhp at 2,750rpm and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, worm and sector steering, fully floating back axle and rear wheel brakes. The Model 134 also incorporated thermostatically controlled radiator shutters.

Relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin when Charles Nash of Nash Motors acquired control in 1923, LaFayette nevertheless ceased production the following year. Available in Touring, Sedan, Coupe, Torpedo, Roadster and Limousine guises, a mere 2,267 Model 134 cars were produced. Competition amid luxury car makers during the 1920’s was particularly fierce. For all its engineering excellence LaFayette struggled to poach customers from established giants such as Cadillac and Packard especially as the Model 134 was more expensive than the former’s offerings and on a par price wise with the latter’s; the Four-Door Coupe model costing a princely $4,300 in 1924.

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

The survival rate for LaFayette Model 134 cars has been estimated at just one percent.

Finished in Dark Green over Black with Red pinstriping and Grey cloth upholstery, this particular Milwaukee-built example – chassis 2978 – wears Four-Door Coupe coachwork by the Seaman Body Corporation (number 31178). One of a pair of Model 134 cars supplied new to North Georgian steam locomotive manufacturer James Bulan Glover (the other being a Torpedo), it remained in his family until 2001. Dry stored in a basement for the previous seventy years, the LaFayette was complete but in need of a full restoration.

Displayed ‘as found’ at the Nash Car Club of America’s 2002 Grand Nashional meeting, it caused an understandable stir. The vendor estimates that acquiring and refurbishing the Model 134 has cost some $200,000. Rewired, repainted, re-trimmed and treated to a thorough mechanical overhaul, the work took NCCA member Ben Bliss over three years to complete.

Undeniably handsome, the Four-Door Coupe body sports a distinctive, prism-like windscreen, LaFayette calormeter, integral luggage trunk, LaFayette Motors Corporation Milwaukee hubcaps and twin rear-mounted spare wheels. To the interior, the well-stocked dashboard is complimented by a wooden steering wheel, wooden window frames, nickel-silver door furniture and blinds to the rear windows. Sparingly used since its completion save for a few rally outings, chassis 2978 is quite possibly the finest Model 134 in existence. Offered for sale with French Certificat d’Immatriculation (Carte Grise), UK V5C Registration Document, FIVA Identity Card, bill of sale from Mr Glover’s son (a relative of US President Teddy Roosevelt, founder of the phrase “teddy bear”) and a huge history file. This is a rare opportunity to own an even rarer car in a truly breath-taking condition.

2015 Mercedes-Benz AMG Brabus 600 GTS Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: WMX1903781A002061 Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000 €100,000 - €120,000 $108,000 - $130,000

The Mercedes-AMG GT (C190 / R190) is a sports car produced in coupé and roadster bodystyles by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-AMG. The car was introduced on 9 September 2014 and was officially unveiled to the public in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show. After the SLS AMG, it is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton assisted with the development. The Mercedes-AMG GT went on sale in two variants (GT and GT S) in March 2015, while a GT3 racing variant of the car was introduced in 2015. A high performance variant called the GT R was introduced in 2016. A GT4 racing variant, targeted at semi-professional drivers and based on the GT R variant, was introduced in 2017. All variants are assembled at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen, Germany.

Beautifully finished in Iridium Silver with full saddlebrown leather interior, the car on offer today is truly a top of the line example, as it is fitted with all original Mercedes optional extras with the exception of a heads up display. Options include backwards-facing camera, garage opening sensor, AMG ride support suspension system, full 8” x 4” colour display, thermotronic air conditioning, high-performance LED headlights and Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system.

First registered in 2015, the car was the winner of the Men in Benz event in 2017 and 2018. It has completed a mere 10,500 km from new and comes complete with all maintenance records and invoices from Mercedes-Benz in Germany.

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

The seller has owned the car throughout its entire operational and driving life and took delivery of the car with only 50 kilometres on the odometer. The seller has also confirmed that the condition of the car in all respects, in his own words, is “100% perfect”, “accident free” and “as good as new”, and he is also keen to point out to interested parties that the car has never been used on a track day or racing track, and has only ever been washed by hand.

In conclusion, it is extremely important that interested parties should note that this is one of a handful of bespoke custom Brabus GTS finished cars, and cannot and should not be confused with the more pedestrian standard specification Mercedes-Benz examples. It is fair to describe this machine as being on a whole different level from its standard factory counterparts, with a list of special competition-inspired optional extras and features which is too exhaustive to be featured here, but is available in full upon request.

1953 MG TD UK Delivered from New Registration Number: UK Registered

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

The 1950 MG TD combined the TC’s drivetrain, a modified hypoid-geared rear axle, the MG Y-Type chassis, a familiar T-Type style body and independent suspension using coil springs from the MG Y-Type Saloon. Also new; the rack and pinion steering, smaller 15-inch disc type road wheels, a left hand drive option and standard equipment bumpers with over-riders. The car was five inches wider with a track of 50 inches. In 1950, the TD Mk. II was introduced alongside the standard car, featuring a more highly tuned engine with 8.0:1 compression ratio giving 57bhp at 5500rpm. It featured twin fuel pumps, revised dampers, and a higher rear-axle ratio. Nearly 30,000 MG TD’s have been produced, including some 1,700 Mk. II models.

This delightful TD has recently benefitted from a complete engine and gearbox rebuild at a cost of £7,500. Said to run and drive very nicely this car comes with a current MOT for peace of mind and is very attractively priced.

1991 Porsche 964 Carrera 4 Cabriolet Recent Engine Rebuild, Full Service History Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000 €28,000 - €33,000 $30,000 - $35,000

The Porsche 964 is the company’s internal name for the Porsche 911 manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994. Designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models, most prominently the more integrated bumpers.

It was the first generation 911 to be offered with Porsche’s optional Tiptronic automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive as options.

A new naturally aspirated engine called the M64 was used for 964 models, with a flat-6 displacement of 3.6 litres. Porsche substantially revised the suspension, replacing the rear torsion bars with coil springs and shock absorbers. Power steering and ABS brakes were added to the 911 for the first time; both were standard. The exterior bumpers and fog lamps became flush into the car, allowing for better aerodynamics.

A new electric rear spoiler raised at speeds above 50 mph and lowered down flush with the rear engine lid at lower speeds or at rest. A new automatic climate control system provided superior heating and cooling.

This Flint Grey example has recently undergone a full engine rebuild 1,500 miles ago. In addition to this it has had new rear tyres, battery and a new hood. With full service history and lots of receipts, this example is said to perform very well by the current vendor and is surely a quick, useable classic for any enthusiast.

1934 MG PB -Mille Miglia Eligible Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: PB0553 Estimate: £38,000 - £45,000 €42,000 - €46,000 $45,000 - $54,000

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. Chassis alterations, many resulting from competition experience, included a longer wheelbase, strengthened transmission and 12′-diameter (up from 8′) brakes. Top speed was in the region of 75mph. Built in two- and four-seater variants, the PA in the latter form was the last Midget to offer sportscar motoring for the family. Some 2,000 PAs were produced between 1934 and 1935 when the model was superseded by the relatively short-lived PB. The MG PB is one of only two MG sporting road cars which is eligible for the classic Mille Miglia, and therefore must be considered as highly sought after.

This particular example is a chassis-up restored machine with all new suspension, corners, brakes, hubs, steering and cooling system, mated to a professionally restored engine with a Phoenix crankshaft, counterbalance with matching connecting rods and Cosworth pistons.

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

The sporting body has been completely refurbrished with special attention paid to the ash frame anddashboard, with the addition of extra gauges specifically relevant when touring, and a new leather interior roof, full and half tonneau covers and side screens, all by Collingburn.

The car has covered 2,000 miles since its substantial restoration work was completed, and is now beautifully physically fit and idally suited for the Mille Miglia when entries close in 2019.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda Right Hand Drive - Manual Transmission Registration Number: EU taxes paid

Chassis Number: 20004097113043 Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000 €45,000 - €55,000 $48,000 - $60,000

The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971. They were known as the ‘pagoda top’ SL due to the unique profile of the hardtop. All models were equipped with an inline-six cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection. The bonnet, trunk lid, door skins and tonneau cover were made of aluminium to reduce weight. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful brakes and radial tires gave the W113 superb handling for its time. The styling of the front, with its characteristic upright Bosch “fishbowl” headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel, paid homage to the then already legendary 300 SL roadster.

The 250 SL was introduced at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. Production had already commenced in December 1966 and ended in January 1968. The short one-year production run makes the 250 SL the rarest of the W113 series cars. The 250 SL retained the stiffer suspension and sportier feel of the early SLs, but provided improved agility with a new engine and rear disc brakes. Range also improved with increased fuel tank capacity from 65 L to 82 L. Like its predecessor, the 250 SL was offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission, and 4-speed or ZF 5-speed manual transmissions. For the first time, an optional limited slip differential was also available.

Offered here is a very rare right hand drive 250 SL with manual gearbox, finished in the desirable white with contrasting black removable hardtop. The current vendor is only the third owner of this very original car which is currently showing just 33,000 miles since new. We are told that the car has received careful attention in recent years and the chrome work was recently cleaned and restored. This car presents very well and is a superb opportunity to acquire the rarest of the ‘Pagoda’ models in its original and unmolested form. The car is supplied with EU taxes paid.

1987 Ferrari 328 GTS Long-standing feature of Italian collection 30,000 miles from new Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: ZFFWA20B000074667 Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000 €50,000 - €60,000 $60,000 - $65,000

“If the sublime purity of the original shape has been corrupted, its striking appearance has not. In our book, this is still the most beautiful of all contemporary exotics – a gorgeous looking car.” – Motor magazine reviewing the Ferrari 328.

Introduced in 1985, the ‘328’ was the third of Ferrari’s highly successful family of V8-engined road cars that had begun with the 308 GT4 of 1973. Originally badged as a Dino, the all-new 308 GT4 2+2 took over from the preceding Dino V6. The newcomer’s wedge-shaped styling –

by Bertone rather than the customary Pininfarina – was not universally well received, but the performance of the amidships-mounted double-overhead-camshaft 3-litre V8 certainly was, and a new two-seater car using a dry-sumped version of the same power unit debuted at the Paris Salon in 1975. Built on a shorter wheelbase, the stunningly beautiful 308 GTB marked a welcome return to Pininfarina styling.

Subsequently updated with four-valves per cylinder, the 308 was superseded by the mechanically similar but larger engined 328 GTB in 1985. By increasing both bore and stroke, the quattrovalvole engine’s capacity was raised to 3,186cc which, together with a higher compression ratio, revised pistons, and improved Marelli engine management system, lifted maximum power to 270bhp at 7,000rpm. Top speed was raised to within a whisker of 160mph, with the sprint to 60mph covered in 5.5 seconds. On the outside, the addition of Testarossa-style moulded bumpers, a deeper rear valance and an unobtrusive roof spoiler could not disguise its underlying beauty.

This nicely preserved example was first registered in October 1987, forming part of an Italian collection for a number of years before being acquired via specialist Joe Macari in 2017. The team at Macari noted that the car was in “great working order” and still fitted with an older set of tyres and no signs of rust, and as such supplied the car to our vendor serviced and recommissioned. The work in 2017 included a full cambelt change and new tyres all round. With just 30,000 miles recorded, a current UK MoT certificate and V5, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a true Ferrari icon from the 1980’s.

An increasingly difficult to find, clean and pure 328 GTS.

Less than 8% of MP4 – 12 C worldwide production were delivered in UK Home delivery RHD and even fewer in the traditional works colours of Volcano Orange. It is likely that the survival number has dropped of the UK cars in the years since production ceased in 2014.

By any evelaution this is a very rare race bred supercar indeed and an even rarer UK model.

1973 Ferrari 246 GT Dino Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £160,000 - £190,000 €175,000 - €210,000 $190,000 - $230,000

File Images This classic and nowadays much sought-after Ferrari was named after Enzo Ferrari’s son Alfredino, who died in 1956, aged 24. Enzo Ferrari credits his son with the inspiration for a series of successful small and medium capacity V6 racing engines built by Ferrari from 1956, and in turn the name was given to a new line of mid-engined production Ferrari V6 coupés which first went on sale in 1969 in two-litre form.

The definitive 246 Dino, with its 2.4 litre V6, appeared in late 1969 and fewer than 4,000 were built (about 1,200 of them the detachable roof Spyder version) before introduction of the slightly larger, and completely re-styled V8 engined 308 Dino in 1973.

The delightful bodywork was designed by Pininfarina, and was built in steel by Scaglietti. It covered a straightforward chassis of tubular steel which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The compact engine, with four chain-driven overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely above the five-speed gearbox and just ahead of the rear axle line, allowing both a comfortable cockpit and usable boot space.

With its flexible engine, uncomplicated chassis and outstanding handling, and superb looks the 246 Dino is a true classic the like of which has made the name Ferrari possibly the most revered of all motor manufacturers. It is certainly one of the most collectible of all Seventies sports cars.

This particular left-hand-drive Dino is being offered for sale under very specific instructions, and Coys invite all interested parties to enquire for further details on the Lot by application.

2014 Land Rover Discovery Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £13,000 - £16,000 €14,000 - €17,000 $15,000 – $19,000

Without the Discovery model, it’s doubtful whether the Land Rover brand would even exist today. Launched back in 1989, the original version merely bolted more spacious bodywork onto an aging Range Rover chassis but the sales it generated were enough to save the company. They also financed a more sophisticated five cylinder air suspended model in 1998 at the same time as the company’s engineers were busily beavering away at something much better, the design that ultimately became the improved fourth generation version we’re looking at here.

This car traces its parentage back to the third generation Discovery3 of 2004, a design vastly superior to anything that had gone before. Until that point, family SUVs had either been very good off road or very good on it. Thanks to its double chassis and air suspended ‘Integrated Body Frame’ technology, this car could be both and customers loved it. Sadly, there was less sophistication beneath the bonnet and in terms of the variants on offer, customers ended up having to choose between thirsty or slow.

Hence the need for the fourth generation Discovery4 model we first saw in 2009. That car at last had a properly performing diesel engine - a 3.0-litre TDV6 unit, quickly further refined and re-badged as an ‘SDV6’ powerplant. But its heavy underpinnings put it at a disadvantage to more modern German rivals. Some of these Land Rover were able to take on with the second generation Range Rover Sport model launched in mid-2013, but lower-order Mercedes, BMW and Audi SUVs all still needed a competitive Discovery model to keep them honest: this final version of the fourth generation design provided just that. Launched in the Autumn of 2013, it was now known merely as the ‘Discovery’ and offered buyers greater efficiency, higher-tech equipment and slightly smarter looks. It sold until an all-new fifth generation Discovery model was launched early in 2017.

This particular Land Rover Discovery is being offered for sale under very specific instructions, and Coys invite all interested parties to enquire for further details on the Lot by application.

2017 Bentley Continental Super Sport Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £100,000 - £120,000 €110,000 - €130,000 $120,000 - $145,000

File Images When Bentley’s first-generation Continental GT made its debut in 2003, its W12 engine developed an impressive 552bhp, giving a top speed close to 200mph. That gives a little perspective to the new Supersports, which produces a massive 700bhp and reaches 209mph.

While it is both the fastest accelerating and fastest outright Bentley ever, the Supersports is no stripped-out track special; it’s as luxurious and refined as a Bentley ought to be.

The Supersports name made its debut in 1925 on a highly-tuned Bentley 3 Litre capable of a genuine 100mph. Just eighteen examples were built; the name was revised in 2009 with the 200+mph Continental Supersports, which earned its place in automotive history when ex-rally champ Juha Kankkunen set a new world ice speed record at the wheel. So the new model has quite a heritage to live up to, and prospective owners won’t be disappointed.

This particular Bentley Continental Super Sport is being offered for sale under very specific instructions, and Coys invite all interested parties to enquire for further details on the Lot by application.

1988 Porsche 944 Coupe - one owner and 5,063 miles from new Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000 €20,000 - €24,000 $22,000 - $26,000

‘Here was a model much more in the Porsche tradition, a 217km/h (135mph) coupé with sparkling acceleration and superlative handling.

Some 90,000 were built during a 10-year manufacturing life.’ – Jonathan Wood, ‘Porsche – The Legend’.

Announced in 1981, the 944 was the third of Porsche’s new family of front-engined sports cars. The first of the line, the 924, had arrived in November 1975 and drew heavily on Volkswagen/Audi components: the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine being a development of the Audi 100’s and the four-speed transaxle transmission a VW unit. Six years later, along came its close relative – the 944 – which was constructed along similar lines and from a distance hard to tell apart from its 924 progenitor.

Beneath the bodywork (50mm wider than the 924’s) was a 2.5-litre, 163bhp overhead-camshaft ‘four’ – in effect half of the 928’s V8 bored out – fitted with twin balancer shafts to counter the vibration often encountered in such units. The rear transaxle – a five-speed affair this time – was retained, while the 924-type running gear was suitably up-rated to cope with the 944’s superior performance. Subsequent developments included a Turbo, 16-valve 944S/S2 and a cabriolet.

First registered in 1988 to its one and only owner from new, this fabulous survivor is in exactly the same specification as when it left the factory. Purchased new by our vendor as a young enthusiast from Porsche dealer Malaya Garage in Sussex, this must be one of the lowest mileage Porsche 944 in existence, with a mere 5,063 miles recorded.

Offered in the classic 1980s combination of Guards Red with beige velour pinstriped interior featuring comfortable factory sports seats, this is a true investors quality example of a great driver’s Porsche.

1955 Austin-Healey 100/M The Lester Seasongood and James Lawrence Sports Car Club of America entrant Registration Number: TBA

Chassis Number: BN1L227475 Estimate: £45,000 - £60,000 €50,000 - €55,000 $55,000 - $72,000

Following World War II, Donald Healey struck out on his own and from his base in Warwick, UK, began building very high-quality sporting cars using Riley running gear. There were roadsters, dropheads and coupes. 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.

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 90bhp 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 M specification included a louvered bonnet and leather strap, a cold air box, larger 1 ž� carburettors, higher profile camshaft, stronger valve springs, steel-faced competition head gasket, larger anti-roll bar, front disc brakes and a free-flow exhaust manifold which gave higher compression using special pistons. A special distributor was also used, improving the advance curve, and when combined with all the other upgrades boosted the standard cars performance from 90 to 110bhp, which took top speed to nearly 120mph.

This wonderfully presented Healey was purchased via Donald Healey Garages in Warwickshire by a prominent member of St Louis, Missouri society and Senior Officer in the Sports Car Club of America, Lester Seasongood.

Seasongood was a national secretary of the SCCA, and an area steward, and was prolific in their activities through to the middle 1970s. An active competitor and leading light in motorsport in the period.

Subsequent to Seasongood campaigning the car, it was sold to the Editor of the St Louis Post, James Lawrence, who also campaigned the car in Club events, and he retained the car until 1968.

Documentary records and films from the period show what a fascinating and vibrant motor racing culture the SCCA engendered. Grids comprised of all the great European and American sportscars of the period, all racing together by enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals alike, with fabulous variety – with Porsche 356s, MG As, Austin Healeys, Chevrolet Corvettes, Ferrari 250 GT TdFs, TR3s‌ The list goes on and demonstrates what a fascinating cauldron of competitive spirit and legend the SCCA was in the United States in the mid-late 1950s.

In later years, the car returned to the UK, and in 2003 a comprehensive restoration of this charming sports racing car was commenced by its then-owner, a Mr Barnes.

The current vendor purchased this exceptional matching numbers Healey a numbe of years ago. The car is finished in Old English White over Lobelia Blue, one of just 108 cars finished in this colour scheme, and is also fitted with both a heater and laminated windscreen. This Healey has been fitted with lightened and balanced Denis Welch flywheel, which significantly improves throttle response and tick over.

The car is quick and agile, and with a fantastic exhaust note. All the elements of the drivetrain have

been recently restored including new U/J’s, competition clutch and thrust bearing, with the car covering only a handful of miles since. It also received at the same time a service plus engine and gearbox detailing. The car has also been fitted with lightweight Dynolite alternator.

The car comes complete with an excellent history file with many of the receipts from a fastidious owner, as well as some photographs of the restoration work and Heritage Certificate. There is also a copy of the 2011 article in Classic Car Buyer where the car was road tested.

This stunning car in excellent condition qualifies for historic car rallies and has been fully prepped for the Mille and fitted with the necessary upgrades. Most recently the current vendor completed the 2017 GP Nuvolari without any faults. Complete with UK V5C registration this Healey is ready to be campaigned on the Historic circuit or driven enthusiastically down country lanes.

The Penultimate Aston Martin Ever Built During the Gauntlet Era 1989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SCKCV8V7KTL15774 Estimate: 120,000 - £140,000 €132,000 - €155,000 $145,000 - $170,000

Over its three-year production run, the total number of V8 Vantage Volantes of all derivatives was 194, the one on offer here today being the only example delivered new to Switzerland.

Rolling off the production-line in 1989, #15774 is believed to be the last but one car built by Aston Martin before the Ford acquisition of the marque. Supplied uniquely to the first of its three owners, with Aston factory fitted twin spoke Borrani wire wheels and documentation of the sale is available in its file.

This special request by its first owner caused so much consternation, with Aston Martin at first refusing to fit the wheels and warrant the vehicle, stating that the 450bhp 5.3 litre V8 engine would produce too much torque for the strength of the wheels. There followed a great deal of correspondence between Borrani and Aston before suitably designed double-spoked strengthened wheels were fitted. The AMOC are aware of only one other AMV8 similarly equipped.

During its second period of ownership, the car had initially returned to Newport Pagnell for a complete overhaul before joining a number of vehicles on permanent display over many years. During this time, only a few hundred kilometres were added to the odometer before eventually returning to its owner in Germany.

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

Subsequently purchased by its current custodian some 14 years ago, he himself collected and drove the car from Munich back to his home in the South of France where it was enjoyed in the French Riviera.

Eventually patriating the car to England, it then then received an engine rebuild and eventually a comprehensive restoration by marque specialists such as the renowned Grange of Exeter and Nostalgia cars of Taunton.

Having been restored to its original splendour and being of unique specification, naturally the car was selected and featured in the Aston-martin owners club magazine. So fastidious is the owner that in preparation for sale, the car has just received a restoration of the car’s walnut interior trimmings.

This quite exceptional machine, beautifully finished, maintained and appointed, with some very noteworthy historical importance, being one of only two Aston Martins of its type ever supplied new with Borrani wire wheels and being the second to last car ever to leave Newport Pagnell during the evocative and swaschbucking years of Victor Gauntlet, perhaps established as one of the most significant in the entire history of the brand.

1983 Ferrari 400i 35,000 Miles from New Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 44819 Estimate: £25,000 - £38,000 €27,000 - €42,000 $30,000 - $45,000

The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was introduced in 1972 to replace the 365 GTC/4. It then evolved into the 400, the first Ferrari available with an automatic transmission. In 1979 the 400 was replaced by the fuel injected 400i. The improved 412 ran from 1985 to 1989, bringing to an end Ferrari’s longest-ever production series.

Launched in 1976 as the 400GT, it was the first Ferrari to be offered with automatic transmission as an option. The lavishly appointed Maranello flagship featured self-levelling rear suspension, power steering, option air conditioning and the mighty V12 engine.

This particular example of one of the great, long-lasting V12 front-engined Ferrari super-tourers was delivered new in the UK to UK specification by the Ferrari institution that is Maranello Concessionaires of Egham, Surrey – the tower garage site on the A30 is a Mecca for UK-delivered right-hand-drive Ferraris, and today is a Grade II listed building. On an exciting day in 1983, this particular 400i was collected from the home of British Ferrari by its first owner, a Mr R Back.

The car is one of only circa 150 models built in right hand drive, and was beautifully finished from new in Blue Ridot with a full beige leather interior and electric sunroof.

The document package that accompanies the car is extensive, and it retains the original bill of sale from Maranello Concessionaires, along with all the other documentation from the Maranello Archive which completely documents the car coming to life in correspondence between the factory in Italy and Maranello Concessionaires in Egham. Also accompanying the car are all the original book packs with handbook and service book, as well as 36 years worth of service records, MoTs and repairs.

The car has covered a mere 35,182 miles from new. This particular 400i is one of only 152 examples manufactured in right hand drive and has covered a mere 35,182 miles from new. Finished in Blue Ridot coachwork with a full leather interior, this car also benefits from an electric sunroof.

The car was supplied to its first owner, a Mr R Back, by Maranello Cononcessionaires of Egham, Surrey, the car comes complete with original bill of sale, along with a letter from Maranello Archives confirming the build, its original handbooks and service book, as well as 36 years’ worth of service records, MOT’s and repairs.

1949 MG TC Documented history going back over 60 years Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TC7779 Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000 €22,000 - €24,000 $24,000 - $27,000

Launched in 1945, the TC Midget was the first post-war MG, although it was quite similar to the pre-war TB, sharing the same pushrod-OHV engine. However, it had a slightly higher compression ratio of 7.4:1 giving 54.5bhp (40.6 kW) at 5,200rpm; the use of more modern interior elements also allowed for a wider cockpit. The makers also provided several alternative stages of tuning for ‘specific purposes’.

It was exported to the United States, even though only ever built in right-hand drive. Between September 1945 (chassis number TC0251) and November 1949 (chassis number TC10252), exactly 10,000 were produced, costing £527 on the home market in 1947. The tachometer was directly in front of the driver, while the speedometer was on the other side of the dash in front of the passenger.

This 1949 example is described by the vendor as being in good condition throughout, with a bountiful selection of new and reconditioned parts all incorporated into its structure. The engine and gearbox, which were professionally rebuilt less than 1,000 miles ago, are effectively still running in and ready for the new owner.

Alongside rebuilt cabburettors, overhauled brakes and new springs, the car benefits from some hardlearned improvements, including the gearbox, which is now a 5-speed configuration, which transforms the car’s driveability, alongside essential modifications to the gearbox making the car lighter and more positive to drive, alongside 16” rear wheels.

The seller confirms the car has significant amounts of history and pictures going back over 60 years of the car’s life, which by any measure is highly impressive.

Finished in the ideal colours of British Racing Green with a black interior, this fabulously presentable TC is desrribed as being a well-sorted drivers car.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette Rare Manual Transmission Registration Number: UK Registered

Chevrolets first rework of the Corvette roadster pushed the 1956 model in a far more muscular direction than the European-inspired original. Round headlights appeared to lean forward, and the new chrome-lined coves behind the rear wheels and carried into the front doors gave it additional presence. The Corvette wasnt just about looks, either. Six-cylinder power became a thing of the past as Chevy took the new V-8 that had been optional in 1955 and made it standard for the new year. For 1957 the V-8 grew even larger toward the beginning of the model year, expanding from 265 to 283 cubic inches of displacement, and a floor-shifted, close-ratio four-speed manual transmission was added to the options list for the first time. Racing successes such as wins at the 12-hour Sebring race and the SCCA B-produchition championship had made the Corvette into a proper race on Sunday, sell on Monday performance car, and Chevrolet began to realize that its sportiest model could also be a technological flagship. Just over 6,000 1957 Corvettes were built in total.

This matching numbers example, fitted with the dual quad powered 283ci, 270hp V8 motor and four speed transmission, was one of only 664 such examples which were produced in that model year.

Subject to an older “frame-off” restoration, the Corvette has been in the present ownership since 2009, after being purchased as a result of a stock sale from a German-based museum.

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

During his ownership our vendor has kept the car in very good driving condition, supported by bills from specialists such as Claremont Corvette (we note cosmetically there is now room for a little improvement to the paint finish to the rear of the car).

The Corvette runs well with plenty of power, and finished in the classic two-tone combination of “Venetian Red�/White with a matching red and white interior, and white convertible top, this is a good example of the first real American sports car.

1950 Riley RMD Drophead Coupe Original Factory Coachwork Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 600/7197 Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000 €39,000 - €45,000 $42,000 - $48,000

The Riley RM Series is an executive car which was produced by Riley from 1945 to 1955. It was the last model developed independently by Riley prior to the 1952 merger of Riley’s still new owner Nuffield, with Austin to form BMC. The RM series was originally produced in Coventry, but in 1949 production moved to the MG works at Abingdon. The RM models were marketed as the Riley 1½ Litre and the Riley 2½ Litre.

There were three types of RM vehicles produced. All used Riley engines with four cylinders in-line, hemispherical combustion chambers and twin camshafts mounted high at the sides of the cylinder block.

The RMD (drophead) was a traditional 2-door cabriolet, the last cabriolet to wear the Riley name.

It used the same 2.5 L 100 hp (75 kW) engine as the RMB, on which it was based. Just over 500 were produced between 1949 and 1951.

This new body was first displayed in October 1948 at London’s Earls Court Motor Show.

The name Riley, as popularised by the famous book, “As Old as The Industry”, remains one of the oldest and longest established motoring brands to have existed. The great Rileys, such as the Sprite, Imp and Brooklands, dominated their class in motorsport throughout the 1930s and right up to the current day through the auspices of the VSCC, and the most well-known and well-loved of historic motoring contraptions, the beloved Riley Special.

This particular Riley RMD Drophead Coupe maintains all of that exclusive nature.

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

Understood to be delivered new to the United States in 1950, the car is an extremely rare original factory left hand drive example, with the added bonnet louvres giving all the impression that the car would have been used in one of the warmer, more exotic states of America. It must be recognised that Riley were a bespoke, high-end, low volume manufacturer of cars which were very expensive, and the suggestion is that this car spent the early part of its life in the exotic state of California.

An elegant British aristocrat such as a Riley drophead coupe on the streets of early ‘50s Hollywood would have been a very evocative sight.

Original import documentation which is included with the car indicates the car returned to the United Kingdom in 1960. In more recent years, the Riley was purchased by the father of the current vendor, who set about a comprehensive and well-documented restoration programme which left no stone unturned. The body was completely stripped and rebuilt down to the bare metal and chassis, with every mechanical component and all other systems being completely rebuilt, rewired, restored or refurbished, and during the course of the restoration it was established beyond doubt that the car retains its original engine, gearbox, axle, brakes and suspension, as well as its bodywork, so is therefore an entirely authentic original machine.

A charming, friendly and eminently usable early post-war stylish classic from the end of the glamour years of bespoke motoring.

Interested buyers should note and we are pleased to confirm that this car is forensically confirmed as an original factory RMD Drophead Coupe. So delightful a machine they are that a variety of saloons have been more recently converted to open configuration – but this is an original open 4-position coupe by the factory.

Chassis Number: 5F07C663394 Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000 €22,000 - €27,000 $24,000 - $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…’ Motor Magazine Ford created a new class of car almost overnight with the introduction of the Mustang sports coupé part way through the 1964 season, catching the rest of the US auto industry off guard. Aimed at the affluent young, for whom a car was as much a lifestyle statement as means of transport, the Mustang succeeded brilliantly, achieving sales in excess of a quarter million by the end of ‘64. The secret of the Mustang’s success was a broad appeal that extended beyond the target market thanks to a great value-for-money package combining sporty looks, decent economy and brisk performance. Mustangs could be ordered in specifications ranging from six-cylinder ‘economy’ to V8-powered luxury, while customers could choose from an extensive range of factory options, with the result that seldom are two Mustangs identical.

This lovely Mustang has benefitted from many of the Shelby signatures to echo the famous GT cars including dual lights in the grille, side scoops and the aggressive hood scoop. Described to be in very good condition this automatic model is said to drive well and the current vendor has added some sensible upgrades including power steering and front disk brakes. An iconic American muscle car with looks that are sure to turn heads.

1993 Porsche 964 C15 Widebody Cabriolet Right Hand Drive Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000 €55,000 - €65,000 $60,000 - $70,000

Registration: The Porsche 964 is the company’s internal name for the Porsche 911 manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994. Designed by Benjamin Dimson through January 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models, most prominently the more integrated bumpers. It was the first generation 911 to be offered with Porsche’s optional Tiptronic automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as options.

The 964 was considered to be 85% new as compared to its predecessor, the Carrera 3.2. The first 964s available in 1989 were all-wheel drive equipped “Carrera 4” models; Porsche added the rear wheel drive Carrera 2 variant to the range in 1990. Both variants were available as a coupe, Targa or Cabriolet. A new naturally aspirated engine called the M64 was used for 964 models, with a flat-6 displacement of 3.6 litres. Porsche substantially revised the suspension, replacing torsion bars with coil springs and shock absorbers. Power steering and ABS brakes were added to the 911 for the first time; both were standard. The exterior bumpers and fog lamps became flush with the car for better aerodynamics. A new electric rear spoiler raised at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h) and lowered down flush with the rear engine lid at lower speeds or at rest. Performance was brisk to say the least, with a top speed of 261 km/h.

The example on offer today comes with the incredibly rare C15 factory turbo-wide body kit. This makes this remarkable C2 Cabriolet one of only 118 in this specification. The car started life in Hong Kong, before being imported into the UK by it’s owner, a prolific collector of 964s. Under his ownership, the car was fully repainted and interior leather re-done by Paul Stephens at a cost of £68,700. This is fully documented. The car then became part of Afzal Khan’s private collection, who owned the car prior until June 2016. It has done 76,400 km as supported by the relevant documentation. This 964 has been kept garaged and rarely used under the current vendor’s ownership as reflected in the condition.

Partial service history and the certificate of authenticity accompanies the car, with regular servicing and maintenance work carried out at the Porsche Centre in Leeds. The car is described as ‘excellent’ throughout by the current vendor and presents a remarkable opportunity for any Porsche enthusiast.

1991 BMW M3 E30 Cabriolet

One of only 7 M3 E30 Cabriolets supplied new in German Racing Silver Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 86557 Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000 €38,000 - €50,000 $42,000 - $55,000

The E30 M3 was the pinnacle of the low-volume homologation road car built by BMW Motorsport for various European touring car championships in the early 1990s and for all intents and purposes broke the mould and changed the landscape of both the events and these cars forever.

As with the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing and the Jaguar E-Type coupe, all great sporting coupes demand and must be followed by an open convertible version, and this path has clearly been followed by the E30 M3.

Manufactured in 1991 in left hand drive, this E30 convertible is a much-cherished example, and highly prized by enthusiastic ownership in the middle-west of England.

Beautifully finished in very rare German racing silver with its matching and entirely correct full grey leather Rocaro competition inspired seats and the fully electric convertible roof with additional wind visor, the car has benefitted from a comprehensive recommissioning, with £14,000 spent on parts and labour to bring it back on the road after over a decade in benign and well-cared storage. These works are fully documented by its current enthusiastic ownership.

Sitting on its original BBS wheels, a 90s style icon if ever there was one, the owner confirms the car to be

entirely and perfectly original, so hugely important in the youngtimer generation, with the exception of an indulgent custom gearstick which he reckons has been on the car for some considerable time.

With its super rare and desirable colour combination in the national racing colours of its country of birth, its full service history, its undoubted originality (the car has never been repainted or retrimmed) this 90s competition touring car homologation model now ticks every box in what is one of the most vibrant sectors of the specialist and historic car market.

1970 Mercedes- Benz 280 SL Pagoda Rare Manual Gearbox Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 11304410018081 Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000 €65,000 - €75,000 $72,000 - €84,000

In March 1963 the new generation of SL sports cars was launched with the debut of the 230 SL at the Geneva Show. This revolutionary new model replaced the now ageing 190 and 300SL models. Mercedes engineering, together with elegance and practicality, made the Pagoda top SL one of the most distinctive designs of its era. In closed form it offered handsome proportions and coupé-like comfort, whilst the easy removal of the pagoda hard top turned it into an open top sports car for the summer months.

During the 1960s Mercedes-Benz refined the model, later fitting the 250 engine and finally arriving at the 280SL. The 280SL was introduced in December 1967 and was produced until 1971, with the major difference compared to the previous model was the upgrade to a 2,778cc engine which produced 170 hp. The extra urgency provided by this larger more powerful engine improved the drivability of the car and therefore made this final incarnation of the Pagoda the most sought after model. As today, Mercedes-Benz motor cars were never cheap, but superb build quality and sophisticated styling made the 280SL an extremely popular sports car with the rich and famous.

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL we have for sale here is a superb example of a Pagoda and one of the finest available today. This LHD South African import comes with the highly sought after manual transmission and UK registration.

In 2005, the already good car was sent to classic Mercedes-Benz specialists, “German Autohaus” where it was completely stripped back to bare metal and then became the subject of an extensive rotisserie restoration. All parts and assemblies have been overhauled including, but not confined to suspension, brakes, engine & gearbox and differential. Parts found to be in poor condition were replaced by new items. The interior was re-upholstered and all chrome was re-chromed. The resulting car shown here consequently won first prize in the three competitions in which it was entered. The vendor describes the car as ‘excellent’ in all aspects and it must be seen to be appreciated. Paperwork from the restoration is extensive and detailed. With just 5,500 miles since the restoration, this pristine Pagoda is ready to be enjoyed immediately for the right enthusiast.

1997 Marcos LM400 2-Seater Roadster 4,800 Miles from new One owner from new Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 050122 Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000 €28,000 - €38,000 $30,000 - $40,000

For a return to GT racing, a range of modified Mantaras was also produced in the LM (Le Mans) versions.

In order to qualify as a production vehicle, a limited number of road going cars were also made. Several versions of the LM were made such as the LM400 (with a Rover 3.9-litre V8 engine), LM500 (Rover 5-litre V8) and LM600 (with 6-litre Chevrolet small-block V8). Only 30 road-going LM cars were ever built, and of these only one was a road-going LM600.

Of the rare homologation Marcos road cars, only 14 of the LM400s were ever built. Fitted with the reliable, proven and all-conquering Rover aluminium 3.9 litre V8, the car was delivered in March 1997 to its current and only owner.

A treasured possession, this road-going Le Mans car from one of Britain’s most established yet eccentric sports and racing car manufacturers has always been garaged its entire life and is described as being in immaculate condition.

1977 Ferrari 308 GTB ‘Vetroresina’ Rare Right Hand Drive One owner Since 1977 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 21241 Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000 €88,000 - €110,000 $95,000 - $120,000

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 fivespeed 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 mid-engine Ferrari is made ever more interesting considering the overall high mileage of most 308’s on the market today.

1997 Aston Martin DB7 Coupe Owned by the former AMOC Club Secretary Rare Manual Gearbox Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SCFAA1113TK100697 Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000 €22,000 - €27,000 $24,000 - $30,000

Introduced to the public in 1993, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin’s first six cylinder model since production of the DB6 Mk. II ended in 1971. Styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen in its design. Arguably one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the DB7 was well received and attracted new customers worldwide with its traditional layout, curvaceous two door coupé body and a powerful six cylinder engine.

This lovely example has been with the current vendor for the last 11 years and was owned by the Aston Martin Club Secretary (Diane Howe) prior to his ownership. Needless to say, the car presents in very good order with a history file that can only be described as exhaustive. A rare manual model, this DB7 looks wonderful in Cheviot Red and contrasting Parchment interior, which shows a delightful patina.

A superbly original car that has been owned by true enthusiasts and would be a credit to any collector.

1968 Mercedes- Benz 280 S Registration Number: UK registered

Chassis Number: 10801660014102 Estimate: £8,000 - £12,000 €8,500 - €13,000 $9,500 - $14,500

Publicly displayed for the first time at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1967, Mercedes-Benz’s fifteen ‘New Generation’ models went on sale the following January. But although the fuel-injected 280 SE saloon shared its bodyshell with the ‘New Generation’ 280 S, the 280 SE Coupé and Convertible retained the elegant looks of the outgoing 250 SE that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220 SE, designed by Paul Bracq. The 2,778cc overhead-camshaft six-cylinder Type M130 engine though, was all new. In fuel-injected ‘SE’ form the seven-bearing M130 produced 160bhp at 5,500rpm, an output sufficient to propel the manual transmission model to 118mph with the automatic, an increasingly popular choice, not far behind. Just as important in an age when automobile induced atmospheric pollution was becoming a hot political issue, was the fact that the M130 brought with it improved fuel economy and more efficient emissions control. The suspension was essentially the same as that of the equivalent saloon model, albeit reconfigured for a lower ride height, with braking courtesy of discs all round. Plush and well appointed, the interiors featured a leather-covered dashboard, (usually) leather upholstery, Becker radio, and round speedometer and rev counter flanking vertically stacked gauges. The thickly padded convertible top was manually operated, while air conditioning, electric windows, central locking and power assisted steering were among the several options listed.

The particular model on offer today is in a rare specification of sky metallic blue exterior with luxurious blue leather interior. This 2.8 litre 280 S comes in right hand drive with the desirable four speed column shift manual transmission, with a mere 100,000 miles on the odometer supported by extensive service history. Being a historic vehicle, this 280 S is both MOT and tax exempt. Despite this, the car comes with a fresh MOT for peace of mind and is a rare opportunity to own a desirable and appreciating German classic.

Chassis Number: S824029DN Estimate: £45,000 - £60,000 €50,000 - €65,000 $55,000 - $70,000

Introduced in the spring of 1957, the XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drophead coupé forms, the open roadster version not appearing until the following year. At 190bhp, the standard 3.4-litre engine’s maximum power output was identical to that of the XK140, so performance was little changed.

Overdrive and a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox were the transmission options, the latter becoming an increasingly popular choice, while a Thornton Powr-Lok limited-slip differential was available for the XK150S. With so much of the production of the great post-war British sporting marques being sent new to a the voracious appetite of the American sports car market, it is a rare event in general terms to uncover not only an original home market XK150 Jaguar, but also one that has survived the test of times and brought itself forward to the 21st Centure. For a great deal of the 1970s and 1980s, these types of cars struggled to survive, and it was only the examples that were acknowledged, identified and cherished by enthusiasts in that period that are still with us today, and this XK on offer today is one such rare survivor of a British sports car delivered new in Britain.

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

Records indicate that this is one of the earliest cars to come off the production line, in early 1957, the year that has been considered the happiest year in Britain of the 20th Century, famed by Prime Minister Macmillain’s quote “we’ve never had it so good” – and we can only imagine the impact this machine would have had on the streets of such an optimistic Britain, with other such historical feats in 1957 such as the first World Championship win for a British car in Formula One and the opening of the Jodrell Bank observatory.

The car as such a survivor has obviously been properly maintained and restored, with a body off chassis restoration and the chassis restored, and all mechanical systems restored and refinished as new, and this work is photographically documented, clearly indicating that much if not most of the original British car remains, a fact so important in the restoration.

Complete with the original buff log book from the time – a worthy survivor from an optimistic and excited post-war Britain.

The Property of a Prominent Owners Club Chairman 38,000 Miles from New – Full Service History 1993 Aston Martin Virage Volante Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SCFDAM1C6P8R60065 Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000 €77,000 - €100,000 $85,000 - $108,000

The Virage was Aston Martin’s replacement for the decades-old V8 models and introduced at the Birmingham Motor Show in 1988. This V8-powered car was intended as the company’s top model with the 6-cylinder 1994 DB7 slotted below it but this V8 model (by then in Vantage form) remained the exclusive, expensive and hand-built king of Astons.

The Virage was a large, heavy car in spite of its all-aluminium body, but the 32-valve 5.3-litre V8 engine elevated it’s performance to near sports car levels. “Acceleration just never seems to run out”, claimed Sports Car International on a first test. They also praised the “eager and quicker revving” nature of the engine with its Callaway-designed heads and Weber-Marelli fuel injection. “Nothing sounds quite like an Aston V8” they concluded – they were right.

This beautiful car was purchased 22 years ago from Graypauls as, “one of the most exclusive and luxurious convertibles available anywhere in the World” as Bob Denver, then Chairman of Aston Martin Lagonda said when the car was brand new.

All stamps are present from regular services at Aston Martin approved dealerships, with the last service carried out 700 miles ago. The current vendor kept the car in a dehumidified garage when not in use.

With matching fitting trunks in the boot for weekend getaways it is offered with the full original tool set, a large file of documentation, the original handbook, the workshop manual and two sets of keys, the car is ready to carry on touring.

This is quite simply one of the most beautifully maintained and presented Aston Martin grand tourers we have been able to present for sale, with the added benefit of coming from immpecable ownership.

1980 Mercedes- Benz 450 SEL 6.9 Right Hand Drive Registration Number: UK Registered

In the late sixties, Mercedes-Benz incorporated the 6.3-litre powerplant from its 600 limousine to its S-Klasse lineup, effectively creating the world’s first European Q-Car. The next generation of flagship models, the W116, would see its top models equipped with a refined 6.9-litre engine and a hydropneumatic suspension.

The 6.9 was first shown to the motoring press at the Geneva Auto Show in 1974, and produced between 1975 and 1981 in extremely limited numbers. It was billed as the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz car line, and the successor to Mercedes-Benz’s original high-performance sedan, the 300SEL 6.3. The 6.9 also has the distinction of being among the first vehicles ever produced with optional electronically controlled anti-lock brakes, first introduced by Mercedes-Benz and Bosch in 1978.

AMG started off by designing and testing racing engine, later expanding its business into building custom road cars based upon standard Mercedes cars. AMG initially produced a range of unofficial upgrade and accessories packages mainly for Mercedes-Benz production models of the 1970s and 80s.

This particular example is one of the last produced, a 1980 450 SEL 6.9 with just 83,500 miles on the odometer. Presented in Astral Silver with blue leather interior, and in the rarest spec of right hand drive, these W116 models are becoming difficult to find in this condition. This thoroughbred super saloon has clearly been well looked after by its former keepers and is ready to enjoy by its next custodian.

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000 €29,000 - €33,000 $31,000 - $36,000

The Z3 M Coupe, or BMW ‘Breadvan’ or “Clown Shoe” as many refer to it was very much an oddball and all the better for it, the Z3 M Coupe follows no model lineage and wasn’t replaced when production ceased, but what a wonderful hiccup in the corporate product line this car was. Here was a BMW that sent a high voltage shock through the normally slick but slightly conservative BMW range of the time. The lead engineer for the M Coupe, Burkhard Goschel, must have been very influential and smooth of speech to gain approval from the BMW Board of Directors. After all, the ingredients were unorthodox to say the least. Take the Z3 roadster, turn it into a fixed head coupe with a hatchback, drop in an E36 M3 engine and make sure it was a cost effective to produce. No easy task for BMW Motorsport division at the time.

Offered in the most desirable colour combination of Estoril Blue with black leather and blue inserts, this S50 Z3M Coupe has covered 58,000 miles from new.

The vendor has owned the car since 2013 and located the car after a search for an enthusiast owned example. The history file shows of £13,000 of invoices including notice of the VANOS recall, where the correct factory modifications completed.

A comprehensive service history is complete with the car by way of a stamped service booklet.

The car is offered with an MoT test certificate valid until January 2020 which importantly was obtained with no advisories. This example of this BMW is presented in very good order throughout and given the low mileage is certainly a sought after car. The vendor goes on to confirm that the paintwork and interior of the car are in excellent condition, the alloy wheels are unmarked with virtually brand new tyres and this 3 Litre beast is extremely tight to drive and delivers plenty of power!

1961 Chevrolet Corvette In -- current private ownership for over 25 years Rebuilt less than 1,500 miles ago Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 208675100391 Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000 €45,000 - €50,000 $50,000 - $55,000

In the early 1950’s, a team of GM engineers, headed up by Harley Earl, went to work trying to create a car that had the appeal to compete with European sports cars. This car, dubbed the Corvette ‘Dream Car’, debuted at the GM Motorama show, which was held at the stylish Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. At the conclusion of Motorama’s US tour, GM stated that over four million people had seen the car with the majority expressing a desire to get behind the wheel of the new Corvette. The first true American sports car was born!

Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory but with decidedly less performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet’s need to compete with Ford’s Thunderbird.

A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical restyle for ‘56 consolidated the ‘Vette’s position in the market, the model going on to become the world’s best-selling and longest-lived sports car.

In 1961, the rear of the car was completely redesigned with the addition of a ‘duck-tail’ with four round lights, a signature look that continued until 2014. 1961 was also the last year when a contrasting colour for the scalloped ‘cove’ areas of the bodywork was available and it was 1978 before it was again possible to order your Corvette in two-tone.

Delivered in late 1961, so effectively a 1962 model year car, the 4-speed manual Corvette you see here was first discovered by our vendor in a garage in London in the early 1990’s, who agreed a deal with the then owner and took the car home to restore. The Corvette has since enjoyed a highly detailed body-off restoration over a number of years, with attention to all key areas. The chassis was stripped and re-enamelled, the braking, suspension, fuel system, cooling, and clutch were all overhauled. The 283ci V8 engine was rebuilt with all new bearings and lifters, and runs just beautifully. The body was completely stripped, prepared and painted Ermine White with turquoise scallops, matching by a re-trimmed interior with new carpeting and a white soft-top.

With just 1,400 miles since being rebuilt, and supplied with a thick history and the correct period hardtop, this is a good example of an enduring and highly enjoyable American classic.

Firmly placed in Ferrari’s history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello’s combination of its elegant Pininfarina lines and legendary front mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics, following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’.

With modern styling cues, a 5.5-litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a seriously quick motor car, The six-speed gearbox combined with a slightly more even torque curve meant that power delivery was a little less frenetic, and excellent weight distribution combined with the 550’s delightful road manners were all factors in the car becoming the perfect ‘European Grand Tourer’. The Ferrari 550 Maranello was the return of the front engined Ferraris and this 23 years after the 365 GTB/4 Daytona.

This nice early example, finished in Rosso Corsa with a Nero leather interior, was registered to its first Spanish owner in 1997 via the importer Testarossa Cars of Madrid on 4th June 1997, later finding its way into ownership in Portugal. We understand the Ferrari was serviced by the Madrid Ferrari concessionaire Carslavia from new until 2002, and then up to 2007 at 41,000 kilometres.

In more recent times the 550 has formed part of a UK-based Ferrari collection, and has been used sparingly. With a mere 53,000 kilometres recorded and supplied with its original book pack and wallet, this straight and well presented example offers exceptional value in the current marketplace.

Chassis Number: WDBBA48D7KA0999 Estimate: £11,500 - £13,500 €12,500 - €15,000 $14,000 - $16,000

The Mercedes R107 SL was introduced in 1971 and continued along the same basic design principals as the 113 Pagoda, but was a little bigger and a little bit wider. The disappearing hood mechanism, with the removable hard-top, remained and the engine options now included the 3.5 litre V8, which powered the new saloon range. The R107 SL was a hugely successful model, which remained in production for 18 years, largely unchanged. Engine options expanded to include a 2.8 and in 1986 a 3.0 straight six and V8’s, which expanded to 5.6 litre by the end the production run in 1989, when it was replaced by the new 129SL. This car has just been imported from California, and is in very good, rust-free condition. Registered in 1989, it is one of the last of these hugely successful R107 SLs. The car comes with its original hardtop which is in very good condition, as is the trim, the chrome and the paintwork. The recorded mileage of 102,000 miles, is low for this year, an average of about 3,500 miles a year. The car is said to drive very well. The 560 SL was never imported into Europe or the UK, so here is an opportunity to buy a rare sight on the roads of Britain, for a very realistic reserve.

Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430428 Estimate: £8,000 - £12,000 €9,000 - €13,000 $10,000 - $14,000

Completed in 1991 and first registered in January 1992, this is a late example of the 944 S2, benefitting from all of the associated refinements in production from the model’s launch. It was supplied new via AFN Porsche in London, where the first four of its main dealer services were also carried out. For the last year, it has been part of a collection of modern classics in the South East of England, and the owner has enjoyed some 500 miles behind the wheel with the top down.

The 3.0-litre in the S2 was the largest production four-cylinder unit of its time, and was arguably the engine that the 944 deserved from the start. The S2 featured the rounded front and rear panels from the Turbo model, as well as that car’s four-piston brake calipers. Its specification also included an uprated gearbox, stronger driveshafts and wider wheels.

Inside the car, the original interior trim is in superb condition. It is all original, save for the contemporary stereo, and steering wheel that has been swapped for a rare Porsche 993 RS item. The factory wheel remains with the car, and is included in the sale should the next owner wish to change it back. The grey leather upholstery features perforated centre panels, and is in fine order with no tears or holes.

The dashboard, door cards and other interior trim elements are all undamaged and present very well.

All of the electronics work as they should, including the air-conditioning and the radio. The carpets are in superb order throughout, including in the boot.

Its electrically-powered convertible roof is in perfect working order and fits snugly to seal the car against wet weather. The material is in sound cosmetic condition, with only a few small snags visible in the black fabric. At the rear, the plastic window is undamaged and free of cloudy marks. A black tonneau fastens over the hood to protect it when the roof is down.

Under the bonnet, the engine bay is clean and tidy, and the original 3.0-litre powertrain has been enhanced with the addition of a stainless steel exhaust. The car was last serviced in May 2017 at 80,338 miles, which included renewal of the timing belt. Before this, the car also had an oil service and brake fluid renewal at independent specialist Autowerke in June 2016 at 79,931 miles.

Its last three MOTs have all been free of advisories, and the most recent certificate covers the car until August 2020. The wheels are shod in a set of Continental SportContact tyres in size 205/50 ZR16 at the front and 225/50 ZR/16 at the rear, which still have plenty of tread remaining.

The car is accompanied by all of the original owner’s literature, the stamped service booklet, two keys and two immobiliser fobs, tool kit; as well as a folder full of old invoices, receipts and MOT certificates.

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

1974 Rolls-Royce Corniche -Continuous History from New Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000 €27,000 - €33,000 $30,000 - $35,000

Recalling the firm’s glamorous Grandes Routières of pre-war days such as the Phantom II Continental, the coachbuilt variants of the new Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and T-Series Bentley were limited to just two: a two-door coupé or similar convertible, the former arriving in March 1966 and the latter in September the following year. Some of the frontal panels were shared with the standard four-door saloon but otherwise the new bodyshells were unique, featuring a distinctive dipping upper wing line with parallel crease, and revised, more rounded posterior. Construction involved shuttling the bodyshells between the Crewe factory and H J Mulliner Park Ward’s Willesden plant, a necessarily lengthy process that took all of 20 weeks for the saloon and slightly longer for the more complex convertible.

These exclusive cars were hand built in the best traditions of British coachbuilding using only materials of the finest quality including Wilton carpeting, Connolly hide and burr walnut veneers, such painstaking attention to detail resulting in a price some 50% higher than that of the standard Silver Shadow.

Nevertheless, demand for these more glamorous alternatives to the much more numerous four-door model was strong right from the start, a state of affairs that resulted in them being given their own model name – ‘Corniche’ – in March 1971.

First registered in January 1974, this hand-built Corniche has covered a mere 67,600 miles to date with a good history file to warrant this figure. The service books are stamped 15 times up to 62,446 miles in March 2014, with a further scheduled service at 67,000 miles at Rolls Royce specialist Royce Service and

Engineering in Surrey. Additionally the Corniche benefits from a desirable Harvey Bailey handling kit which transforms road-holding at higher speeds.

In previous ownership, an extensive overhaul was performed, consisting of a new propshaft, brake spheres and discs, front suspension mountings, engine mountings, exhaust mountings, radiator core, gearbox oil cooler pipes, attention to the power steering and air conditioning, and four new Avon tyres. The cost of this work was c. £9,000. In current ownership the Corniche has enjoyed a further ‘C’ service and inspection, with the odd minor niggle being rectified.

Finished in Seychelles blue, with light blue interior and dark blue piping, and offered with a Rolls-Royce hardback instruction book, service books, numerous bills and invoices with various specialists, previous MOT certificates and a fitted car cover, this is a good example of an exceptional driving gentleman’s express.

1963 Austin Healey 3000 Registration Number: TBA

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000 €65,000 - €75,000 $72,000 - $84,000

The enlargement of its C-Series six-cylinder engine to 2,912cc, and the adoption of Girling front disc brakes, differentiated the new-for-1959 Austin-Healey 3000 from the preceding 100/6. In 3000 form the rugged Austin six delivered 124bhp at 4,600rpm, good enough for a top speed (in overdrive) of 114mph. Otherwise, the car remained much as the 100/6, though the more-powerful disc brakes were a welcome improvement.

The original 3000 was built from March 1959 to March 1961 as models BN7 Mark I (2-seater) and BT7 Mark I (2+2 version), becoming known as the Mark I after the Mark II was released. Robust and tuneable, in its time the Big Healey was immensely popular with privateer racers and ralliers. Today, forty years after production ceased, Healey 3000s continue to be extensively campaigned in historic motorsport, both in tarmac events and on the rough stuff.

This absolutely stunning Big Healey has just completed an exhaustive restoration and is described by the vendor to be in exceptional condition. The car has been treated to a body off overhaul with all mechanics, trim and accessories looked after. Finished with a brand new Mohair hood, this 3000 is certainly worth the very closest of inspections.

220S saloon.

1959 Mercedes-Benz 220 S ‘Ponton’ Very Rare Right Hand Drive Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 180010609506532 Estimate: £14,000 - £18,000 €15,000 - €20,000 $17,000 - $21,000

Mercedes-Benz reintroduced six-cylinder models to its range in 1951 with the 220 and 300 types, both of which were shown at the Frankfurt Sho w in the spring of that year. Both featured single overhead camshaft engines with the valves set across the head, rather than in line, and actuated by rockers. The 220 was powered by a 2,195cc six-cylinder engine producing 80bhp at 4,600rpm, good enough for a top speed of 100mph with acceleration to match, while the gearbox was an all-synchromesh four-speeder with column change. A separate chassis was retained for these models, which were replaced in 1956 by a new range featuring unitary construction bodyshells employing large, box-section side-members – hence the term ‘Ponton’.

All-round coil-sprung independent suspension had long been a fixture of the Mercedes-Benz range, and that of the newcomers benefitted from the newly developed single-pivot rear swing axle. A shorter wheelbase was adopted for the cabriolet model that appeared in May 1956 and also for the coupé introduced the following year when the Hydrak semi-automatic transmission become available as an option. Luxuriously equipped in the best Daimler-Benz tradition, these superbly constructed Gran Turismos were priced some 70% above the

This particular Ponton is a rare right hand drive, fitted with the 2.2 litre inline-six cylinder and the sought after four speed column shift with optional Hydrak automatic clutch. With receipts of over £5000 in the last few years including a service in December 2018, this car has been maintained to a high standard.

An uncommon model such as this is ready for its next custodian, effortlessly blending 1950s luxury driving with German over-engineering, typified by Mercedes- Benz of the era.

1973 Buick LeSabre Featured in the BBC TV Program Top Gear Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 213788 Estimate: £5,000 - £7,000 €5,000 - €7,000 $6,000 - $8,000

The Buick LeSabre was a full-size car made by General Motors from 1959 to 2005. Prior to 1959, this position had been retained by the full-size Buick Special model (1936–58). The name originated with the 1951 GM Le Sabre show car designed by Harley Earl; that car is often mistakenly attributed to the Buick division but in fact it was presented as a GM vehicle without reference to a specific GM division.[citation needed] Buick closely related their 1956-1957 models to the GM LeSabre by replicating the top section of the rear wing into their design. [citation needed]. LeSabre is French for “the sabre”.

This particular LeSabre is perhaps one of the most well-known examples of the type currently in the UK, as it featured in the international super-show, BBC Top Gear, when driven by famous co-presenter James May during the pinnacle era of this television programme, which featured Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.

The vendor describes this example as being generally good in all respects, with a significant number of service and maintenance issues attended to, and a number of correct and fully accepted modifications alongside a recently renovated interior which included new carpets, headliner and rear parcel shelf, and the vendor wishes to point out that all original parts have been retained and are offered with the car.

We understand for the purposes of the television production, the car was wrapped and a new owner may wish to preserve this finish, as it was how the car was featured on Top Gear – however, the original paintwork is maintained and preserved underneath.

The car is accompanied with various sundry bills, older MoT certificates, and with its already established celebrity status, it certainly represents one of the most interesting of these Buicks in the UK.

1960 Mercedes 220SE Cabriolet 1 Of Only 17 Examples Produced In Right Hand Drive Being Offered from a private collection and long-term ownership Registration Number: UK Registered

Mercedes-Benz reintroduced six-cylinder models to its range in 1951 with the 220 and 300 types, both of which were shown at the Frankfurt Show in the spring of that year. Both featured single overhead camshaft engines with the valves set across the head, rather than in line, and actuated by rockers. The 220 was powered by a 2,195cc six-cylinder engine producing 80bhp at 4,600rpm, good enough for a top speed of 100mph with acceleration to match, while the gearbox was an all-synchromesh four-speeder with column change.

A separate chassis was retained for these models, which were replaced in 1956 by a new range featuring unitary construction bodyshells employing large, box-section side-members – hence the term ‘Ponton’ – the others being the 190 and 219. All-round coil-sprung independent suspension had long been a fixture of the Mercedes-Benz range, and that of the newcomers benefited from the newly developed single-pivot rear swing axle.

A shorter wheelbase was adopted for the cabriolet model that appeared in May 1956 and also for the coupé introduced the following year when the Hydrak semi-automatic transmission become available as an option. Luxuriously equipped in the best Daimler-Benz tradition, these superbly constructed Gran Turismos were priced some 70% above the 220S saloon.

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

In 1958 the 220 range was updated with a fuel-injected version of the 2.2-litre overhead-camshaft six, becoming the 220SE, though manufacture of the carburettor-equipped models continued into 1959, the saloons bowing out in July and the coupĂŠ and cabriolet in October of that year. By the time production ceased, only 3,429 220S coupĂŠ and cabriolet models had been manufactured and today these elegant and exclusive limited edition Grand Tourers are highly prized.

First registered in May 1960, this exceedingly rare matching numbers fuel-injected W128 model is one of only 17 produced in Right Hand Drive format. The 220SE has been with its current owner for in the region of 30 years after he purchased the car from a the previous long term owner, a retired Army officer in West London. During the current ownership the Mercedes-Benz has benefited from restoration and repair works by leading marque specialists such as John Haynes. Notably the bodywork has been restored and refinished in its original shade of Mittelblau (blue), the wood and chrome refinished, and the interior retrimmed. Offered for the first time in many years, and one of only a handful remaining, this is a unique opportunity for the serious Mercedes-Benz collector.

1965 Mercedes- Benz 600 SWB Very Rare Right Hand Drive Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 100012-22-000398 Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000 €55,000 - €65,000 $60,000 - $70,000

The Mercedes-Benz 600, introduced in September 1964, continued the tradition of the pre-war Grosser 770K which had been so popular with the highest echelons of the Nazi party: the 600 was an exclusive motor car built without compromise for royalty, heads of state, pop stars and mere tycoons who could afford the ultimate. Like its predecessor, the 600 was the last word in grandeur and opulence, and no creature comfort was omitted.

With a 6.3-litre fuel injected V8 engine producing 300bhp at the wheels, the 600 was capable of over 120mph and 0-60mph in just 9.5 seconds, not bad for a car weighing some 7,0001bs! The short wheel base model was dubbed the “Grosser”, with the long wheel base variant nicknamed the “Pullman”.

The 600 benefitted from functionalities way ahead of even the luxury sedans of the time, including a limited slip differential, servo steering and calliper brakes with vacuum servo at both ends. Other amenities included hydraulically operated windows, sunroof, glass partition, boot lit, horizontal/vertical movement and backrest angles of seats, and full electrically controlled air conditioning. As such, not even the Rolls-Royce Phantom could compete with such an array of features. Consequently, it is hardly surprising that the 600 cost a whopping DM 56,500 at the time of its launch, this figure having risen to DM 144,100 by the time production ceased in 1981.The list of 600 Pullman owners draws parallels with a list of the most wealthy and influential people in the world, from Queen Elizabeth II to Mao Tse Tung, including Elvis Presley and the Pope.

This 600 SWB “Grosser” is exceedingly rare for the fact that it is both UK registered since 2008 and in right hand drive.

From Eric Clapton to John Lennon to the Supremes, the Mercedes-Benz 600 was the preferred statement in motoring style of the glamorous and the super-rich of the mid-late 1960s

Built in 1965 and delivered new to Australia, naturally in right-hand drive Registered in the UK on 22/01/08 to the first of two UK registered keepers Meticulously maintained with over £30,000 worth of bills showing particular attention to the suspension Recent invoices from model specialist Wolfgang Will of Germany for parts for the hydraulic system Total mileage covered is some 120,000, largely immaterial in such a well-maintained car. The car caught the attention of our vendor, actor Gary Mavers, whose passion for rare Mercedes-Benz has been life-long. Not only did the condition and rarity appeal to Mr Mavers but the maintenance records were impeccable and the car had already benefitted from the considerable sums spent by the previous owner, Mr Mander, after he imported the car from Australia.

The history file has receipted invoices for some £30,000 worth of works, mainly on the underbody, with particular attention to the air suspension bags and the fitting of new air valves along with new wishbones.

In 2018, during Mr Mavers’ custodianship, the services of celebrated 600 specialist Wolfgang Will of Germany were used to ensure the hydraulics were in order, in return for around £1,700. Four new Avon tyres and new rubber door seals were also recently fitted. The car and Mr Mavers were the subjects of a feature in Mercedes Driver magazine in April 2019, copies of which are included in the extensive history file.

Believed to be one of only 273 right-hand drive 600 SWB produced, this exquisite looking car is likely to turn heads wherever it goes, and is fast becoming a collectable classic.

2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Manual Six-Speed Gearbox - Under 30,000 miles Aston Martin dealer service 300 miles ago Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 03393 Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000 €24,000 - €28,000 $26,000 - $30,000

Following the unveiling of the AMV8 Vantage concept car in 2003 at the North American International Auto Show designed by Henrik Fisker, the production version, known as the V8 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 for the 2006 model year.

The two seat, two-door coupé had a bonded aluminium structure for strength and lightness. The 172.5 inch (4.38 m) long car featured a hatchback-style tailgate for practicality, with a large luggage shelf behind the seats. In addition to the coupé, a convertible, known as the V8 Vantage Roadster, was introduced later in that year.

The example on offer here has covered less than 30,000 miles, and comes complete with a new MoT certificate.

The current owner has owner the car since 2014, it has been dry garage stored and only driven on special occasions. The car comes complete with a full history & service file, which confirms that the car has done less than 300 miles since the last Aston Martin dealer service a year ago. The car also benefits from being fitted with new Bridgestone tyres, battery maintenance charger and DAB digital radio.

The car is also complete with a number of factory optional extras with the complete list available on request - the lovely Vantage is particularly recommended for the exhaust note with by pass valves open!

One of the most attractive and stylish Aston Martins of the modern era.

2003 Maserati 4200 Coupe GT Rare Manual Gearbox, Full Service History Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: 10481 Estimate: £8,000 - £12,000 €9,000 - €13,000 $10,000 - $14,000

Having spent the preceding decade trying to compete with BMW in the medium-size sports car saloon market, with a handful of coupes and cabriolets thrown in for good measure, in 1998 Maserati emphatically re-embraced its noble traditions by introducing a stunning all-new Gran Turismo – the 3200 GT. The luxury coupe was styled by ItalDesign, headed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, whose previous work for the Modenese manufacturer had included, among others, the Ghibli, Bora and Merak. As well as reconciling all the usual competing requirements of aerodynamics, all-round performance, safety and passenger accommodation, ItalDesign had to produce a car that was recognisably a Maserati. The design team succeeded brilliantly in creating a look that emphasised continuity with Maserati’s past, incorporating the firm’s Trident emblem into the radiator grille while the front end treatment as a whole recalled its racing sports cars of the 1960’s.

An evolution of the prior model name and a reference to the increase in engine displacement from 3.2-litre to 4.2-litre, the 4200 Coupé debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002. All the Coupés were fitted with a 400bhp, 4.2-litre, Ferrari F136 V8.

This 2003 example is a rare manual gearbox model of which just over 200 right hand drive cars were fitted with, which makes it far less complicated to own, more sought after and more driveable as a specialist classic Italian sports GT. The car has been beautifully maintained through current ownership, with almost £10,000 spent in recent years in focused and targeted maintenance and servicing procedures.

Sharing the same V8 engine as its Ferrari cousin the F430, this exceptional example, finished in silver with cream interior, is a striking modern classic and is complete with both sets of keys, all original paperwork and tools, and benefits from a full service history with all receipts retained.

1982 Range Rover EFI Original Left Hand Drive Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: SALLHABV2AA129090 Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000 €27,000 - €33,000 $30,000 - $35,000

The Range Rover was greeted enthusiastically by both press and public on its arrival in 1970, offering comfortable cruising at 90mph and a greater off-road capability than most of its customers would ever need. The fact that the original lasted in production for an amazing 24 years before being replaced in 1994 only serves to illustrate the soundness of the original concept. Indeed, the ‘old’ Range Rover – evocatively renamed Range Rover Classic – did not disappear immediately but continued to be built for another year alongside the new version.

This particular vehicle offered for sale is this beautifully authentic 1982 Range Rover. The car was purchased from a vendor in Barcelona where it had spent its life since new and as such, the structural condition is quite astounding. Experts who have viewed the car have commented that they have seldom seen examples with this level of untouched originality.

Following import, the car has been entrusted to the world-renowned and respected Range Rover specialist Twenty-Ten Engineering. The car was treated to a full and thorough recommissioning process, which involved paint rectification, upholstery re-trimmed with rare original materials where necessary, and any parts required regardless of expense throughout the whole car.

The Range Rover performs faultlessly in all respects. The smooth running V8, the succinct gearbox and the overall feeling of quality that can only come with the thoughtful and considered planning that recommissioning a unique example such as this demands and deserves. With 12 months valid MOT alongside an exceptional level of originality and reliability, this iconic classic is ready to enjoy immediately.

1989 Ford Escort RS Turbo - in private ownership since 1995 Registration Number: UK Registered

Chassis Number: TBA Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000 €10,000 - €12,000 $11,000 - $13,000

Based on the success of the previous model (subsequently known as the Series 1), the later Series II Escort RS Turbo (produced between 1986-1990) was more suited to the road, whereas the earlier car was a bit of a ‘homologation special’. Many new features were adopted for the Series II including utilising the 1600cc fuel-injected CVH engine taken from the Series 1 Turbo but now fitted with the Garret T3 turbo (water-cooled, unlike the S1), revised engine management settings, lower overall gearing, an improved gearbox and limited slip differential, a larger clutch and improved KE Jetronic unit and intercooler. Suspension and chassis changes included stiffer front and rear springs, uprated anti-roll bars, mechanical ABS and larger brakes.

The Series 2 car produced an impressive 132bhp at 5750 rpm, with maximum torque of 133 lb/ft produced at 2750 rpm, giving it ample performance with a top speed of 125 mph and a 0-60mph time of 8.3 seconds.

This nice original Series II example has been in private ownership for 24 years. Having been maintained to a good standard, the RS is offered with the original Ford service book and many receipts including bill of sale from dealer Guys in 1995. The shell of the car is very straight with no welding to the body (with the exception of a small repair to the battery tray), and original floors, sills and arch sectionsl. The engine and gearbox are in good order with no tappet noise from cold, a problem common to this model.

Finished in Diamond White with grey cloth trim, and with a UK MoT certificate valid to 2020, this is a good honest example of what has become a really desirable “hot hatch”.
