Motoring at Dore & Rees Dore & Rees, established in Frome in 1868, has a longstanding and cherished position in Somerset and the South West. Having built up a strong loyal local following offering regular general auctions of antiques, furnishing, works of art and collectables, Dore & Rees is adding specialist auctions including Classic Cars and Automobilia. Classic cars and automobilia have a broad and growing appeal to today’s collectors and motoring enthusiasts.

We can be very nostalgic about cars. Classic cars are in a sense Time Machines, they transport you back to another age, an age when driving stimulated hearing, touch, sight and smell. We all can recall cars from hour childhoods and today there is a lot of fondness for classics from bygone days.

With three auctions scheduled for 2020, you can expect to see all the major manufacturers represented, with prized examples from the classic to modern period of motoring history.

A lifelong classic car enthusiast, Nick Wells restored his first classic car, a 1972 Triumph Spitfire, whilst still in his teens, and owns it to the present day. Nick studied Business and German in Leeds, spending time with BMW in Munich, followed by a successful career in marketing. Feeling the urge to align his career more closely to his interests, Nick moved into the international classic car auction business some years ago, quickly establishing himself as a specialist and valuer, and later an auctioneer.

Nick Wells

During his time in the industry Nick has presided over classic auction sales in the UK and Europe, and as far afield as South Africa, and has consulted on valuations and sales of both individual cars and collections. In 2021 Nick was delighted to be invited to join the expert panel of the ITV show The Car Years, taking two cars from a year in motoring history and pitching them against each-other to pick a winner.

When not tinkering with old cars Nick can either be found in the garden or on his road bike, running for his chosen charity Trinity Hospice in London, or enjoying his new hobby of clay pigeon shooting.

1964 Ford Consul Corsair 1500 Automatic Debuting at the 1963 London Motorshow, the new Corsair was designed to fill a gap in Ford’s model lineup that few knew even existed.

A replacement for the Consul Classic range, it was effectively a long wheelbase version of the Cortina MkI but with a comprehensively re-styled body that was clearly inspired by the American Ford Thunderbird. A sharp horizontal V-shaped crease at the very front of the car gave it an aerodynamic look while at the rear the jet-like theme continued with sharply pointed vertical light clusters which hinted at fins.

The Corsair was powered by a 60bhp 1.5-litre Kent engine rather than the big 289 cubic-inch V8 that came with its transatlantic cousin, but from September 1965 the range was updated with the new V4 1,633cc Essex engine which produced 76bhp and could get the car to 60mph in 15 seconds with a top speed of 90mph. A 2litre version was soon to follow which raised the top speed to 110mph.The Corsair was replaced by the MkIII ‘coke bottle’ Cortina in 1970, by then 310,000 Corsairs of all types were built of which only a few hundred are still UK registered.

This 1964 example was first used by local brewers Ushers of Trowbridge as a fleet vehicle, ownership later

passed to the current family in the mid-1970s. Around 1978 the Corsair was laid up in dry storage by its lady owner, and has not turned a wheel since. The Corsair is finished in dark green with a matching vinyl interior. Interestingly and unusually the car features additional driving lights built into the front grille, a feature we have not as yet on other examples.

Showing just over 36,000 miles from new, the car is in complete and unmolested condition, having been well stored over the years, and is ready to be taken on by its next owner and returned to the road. Offered with No Reserve, this is a great prospect for the budding restorer. This Lot is offered with No Reserve to the highest bidder on the day. £500 - £1,000 (offered at no reserve)

Each lot is subject to a buyer’s premium of 12% inclusive of VAT @ 20%.

2000 Mercedes CL500

● Offered without reserve

The name CL stands for the German 'Coupé Leicht' or Coupé Light. The CL-Class is based on the S-Class fullsize luxury car known at first as the SEC and later S coupé. It was spun off into its own, current name in 1996 and in 1997 for North American markets. The CL continued to follow the same development cycle as the S, although riding on a shorter wheelbase and sharing the same engines albeit with less choice as only the higher-output power trains were offered. The second generation CL or the W215-chassis coupé of 20002006 were offered as: the V8-powered CL500, the supercharged V8-powered CL55 AMG, the V12powered CL600 and the limited production 5.5 litre V12 Bi-Turbo. CL coupés come equipped with the very latest in Mercedes-Benz technology and, along with the S-Class sedans, the CL coupés received all new technological features.

This 4 owner example shows just 84,000 miles recorded, supported by various bills for maintenance works in addition to a Mercedes dealer book pack. The CL500 received a new MOT in November 2021, and is offered with a UK V5C. Finished in Brilliant Silver with a grey leather interior, and with room for minor cosmetic improvements to the paintwork, this is a huge amount of motor car for the estimate, and all in all a very relaxing and enjoyable driver’s grand tourer.

£2,000 - £4,000 (offered at no reverse)

1999 Locust 7

The Locust is a kit car inspired by the Lotus Seven. First developed in the mid 1980s as a cheap kit to be built onto the chassis of a Triumph Spitfire, it was later developed into a full kit car which used its own in-house designed ladder chassis - unlike others using a space frame. The last kits were produced in early 2000.

The original Triumph-based kit was quickly superseded by an all new Locust using its own chassis with the choice of a Triumph or Ford Escort for the donor vehicle. The original design was by John Cowperthwaite and sold as the JC Locust by J.C. Auto Patterns. The Locust used a ladder frame and body constructed from exterior grade or marine plywood or MDF sheets, skinned in aluminium.

This example was built in the 1990s and placed onto UK roads in the spring of 1999. Designed very much in the traditional style of the Lotus 7, the Locust was 1600cc Ford-based, with twin Weber carburettors and a sideexit exhaust system. Since being built this striking looking machine has had just three owners, and completed in the region of 20,000 miles. In the history file we see MoT certificates going back to its build, IVA certificate, also various bills for servicing and mechanical repairs such as a carburettor rebuild and attention to the brakes and cooling system.

Lotus 7s and their derivatives are amongst the purest of driving machines, and we are sure this example will provide a hugely entertaining driving experience for the next owner. £5,000 - £6,000

1978 Mini Clubman

At last - a comfortable Mini', was Motor magazine's take on the Mini Clubman at its introduction in 1969. The Saloon version of the newcomer had been penned by ex-Ford stylist Roy Haynes as a replacement for the Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornet, while the related Estate car was intended to succeed the established Countryman and Traveller. However, a change of plan saw both round and square nosed Minis produced concurrently, until the Clubman range gave way to the Metro in 1980.

A three owners from new car, this later 1098cc Clubman model was kept in dry storage for many years before being acquired by our vendor, a local resident of Frome and classic car enthusiast. Since purchasing the Mini as a light recommissioning project, other than basic mechanical works the roof has been refinished in

white and a sporty set of wider Minilite wheels have been fitted. In other respects the Mini is as it left the factory, with much original paint and interior trim.

Only used for minor local journeys and weekend drives, offered with a V5C document, MoT certificate to April 2022 (although it is now both tax and MoT exempt), and with bills for various items purchased, this is a smart example of a truly endearing classic. £5,000 - £6,000

1995 BMW M3 Convertible

The BMW E36 series is the third generation of the BMW 3 Series range of entry-level luxury cars, and was produced from 1990 to 2000. Initially available as a coupé only, BMW introduced the M3 convertible and saloon versions in 1994. In 1995, the M3 coupé and saloon were enriched to the 316bhp, 3.2 litre engines and known as Evolution versions. At the same time, the cars received clear indicator lenses, new wheels and a six-speed gearbox. The E36 M3 chassis was endorsed as one of the best handling cars of the 90's in independent tests and known for its well-balanced handling. This earlier single vanos M3 Convertible was first registered in the UK on 1st August 1995, finished in Boston Green metallic with a grey leather interior. In current ownership since 2013, the M3 has been driven

Offered with bills and receipts for the work undertaken, handbook, current and previous MOT certificates, this is a highly usable modern performance car which can be enjoyed all year round. £10,000 - £12,000

1972 Fiat 500 Abarth Tribute

● Fresh from recent restoration ● Many improvements from standard

‘The performance of FIAT engines, as modified by Carlo Abarth, has for long been held to verge on the supernatural.’ – John Bolster, Autosport Magazine.

With their FIAT 500-based 595, Abarth adopted the most cost-effective method of coaxing greater power from a small engine, a new big-bore cylinder block boosting the previously 499cc air-cooled twin to 593cc. Higher-compression pistons, re-worked inlet ports, a special camshaft and exhaust system, and a larger carburettor helped raise power from 22 to 30bhp, though the biggest gain was in mid-range torque. Abarth’s conversion halved the standard car’s acceleration times and endowed the 595 with a top speed of more than 75mph. Lowered suspension and wider wheels and tyres helped the baby FIAT utilise the increased performance. Those still not satisfied could opt for the 595SS (Sprint Speciale), with 34bhp on tap and an 80mph top speed. And if that wasn’t enough, there was a further stretch available: to 695cc in the form of the formidable 695SS.

This super 500 was restored in Italy to the specification of the current owner, an enthusiast of Fiat 500s and other interesting classic city cars. The restoration was detailed, including a full strip of the bodywork followed by any repairs as required, and then finished in brilliant white. The engine was replaced by a newly rebuilt and more powerful 650cc unit mated to an all-synchro gearbox. The braking system was replaced throughout, as were cables, all rubber seals, and the wiring loom. The seats

were treated to a retrim and new carpets fitted. To complete the look the suspension has been lowered and placed on new Abarth alloy wheels with new tyres, the roof recovered in red vinyl, bumpersremoved and an Abarth wooden steering wheel fitted. With attitude in spades, this charming little devil is ready (and very eager) to tear up the streets once more! £10,000 - £13,000

1972 Porsche 911 2.4 Targa

● Desirable outside oil filler cap ● Matching numbers chassis/engine

The long-hood era for the Porsche 911 was a time of considerable change. Conceived as a sportscar, built much like the outgoing 356 it replaced, it developed over the years a flair and style that served to define the brand for years to come. The search for the 356's replacement began in 1959. Porsche, seeking a much more powerful, larger, and more comfortable replacement, debuted the prototype 901 in September of 1963 at the Frankfurt Motorshow with production beginning a year later in 1964 alongside the last of the 356s. The model range expanded in 1967 with the addition of the 'S' model marking the beginning of the 911 as a genuine performance car, meeting requisites on both road and racetrack. Nineteen sixty-eight marked the beginnings of government influence on automobile design and emissions - later in 1969, the wheelbase was lengthened, and weight more evenly distributed throughout the chassis. By now the model range included three versions: T, E & S - the latter two equipped with a mechanical injection system. All were now powered by a motor displacing 2.0-liters. From 1970 into 1971 with the 912 dropped and the 914 picking up as the introductory car, displacement further enlarged to 2.2-liters. Porsche delivered the 911 with a larger 2.4-litre engine and a bigger 70.4 mm stroke from August 1971, adding more power to all models and creating a punchier torque. At the same time, though, Porsche introduced an ominous flap on the rear fender. Intended for oil, it was not unusual for drivers to mistake it with the fuel flap, which in turn ensured steady business in the Porsche garages. Originally meant as an extra service, this feature was withdrawn after just one year, making the “oil flap” a rare and coveted item.

This desirable 1972 911T resided in Florida in long-term ownership before being imported into the UK in the last few years by a private collector. The 1972 model year is notable for its outside oil-filler (Olklappe) feature, now prized amongst Porsche aficionados. Originally specified in Silver Metallic (80) with a black leatherette interior, this Targa model benefits from the more powerful 140bhp engine as fitted to North American market cars, mated to the 4-speed Sportomatic gearbox. Further factory options include Air-

Conditioning, Fuchs wheels, Comfort Equipment, Retractable Aerial, Pirelli Tyres, Tinted Glass, also Front and Rear Stabilizers bars. At some point in the distant past the 911 was painted in red, although we did find traces of the original silver paint on the car.

Offered as a full restoration project, on first inspection the 911 will need some replacement outer panels, front and rear floors, sills and kidney bowls, and repairs to the front trunk area, in addition to a full mechanical rebuild. Sold on a bill of sale with a copy of the US title and with UK taxes paid, this no doubt offers the perfect challenge for the keen Porsche restorer. £15,000 - £19,000

Each lot is subject to a buyer’s premium of 12% inclusive of VAT @ 20%.

2006 Porsche Cayman 5

Seeing the need to bridge the gap between the Boxster and the 911, Porsche created the Cayman S. In short, it's a hardtop version of the Boxster. The two cars share the same basic design, which means a mid-engine layout, rear-drive, and two seats. The Cayman's engine is more powerful, its suspension tuning is stiffer and it offers more sport-oriented options than the Boxster.

The Cayman S also boasts better versatility thanks to its hatchback design. Under that rear hatch, there's 9.1 cubic feet of storage -- twice that of a Boxster. And under that storage space, ahead of the rear axle, is the Cayman S's 24-valve four-cam 3.4-liter flat-six engine bolted to a six-speed manual transmission. Based on the Boxster S's 3.2 six, the Cayman S's 295-hp six draws its inspiration from a variable intake manifold, cylinder heads imported from the 911 Carrera S, and the 911's VarioCam Plus variable valve timing and lift. But very few cars approach performance the way the Cayman S does. If your idea of fun is just heading out to mountain roads on the weekend for no other reason than to just drive, you're going to love this car.

Delivered to its first owner in November 2006, optioned in Arctic Silver with an Ocean Blue Leather interior and red brake calipers, this well maintained early Cayman S has formed part of a small classic car collection in recent times. In current ownership the Porsche has been maintained by local Porsche specialists, and has just been serviced prior to sale (including a new waterpump and battery). A nice upgrade is a full stainless steel sports exhaust, which improves breathing and acoustics without being intrusive.

With a sensible 77,000 miles recorded, the Cayman is offered with a fresh MoT certificate in addition to a stamped service book and owners manual. The Cayman S is a return to what the 911 used to be - a focused driver's car, and this good example surely merits closer inspection. £12,000 - £13,000

2007 Tiger Supercat

The UK-based firm of Tiger is well known for its Lotus-7 inspired kit cars, based on a Ford donor and utilising the rear subframe, engine and gearbox of the Sierra model. Tiger Racing was formed in 1989 to supply anything required to assemble a car at home from a base chassis, then the parts as required to complete kits with nothing else to purchase. New factory-built Tigers can still be built with a current registration to the customers’ specification. Tiger is very much a family company supported by a thriving Tiger owners club with lots of events during the year. The Supercat is the widerarched variant, so made to open up the choice of available wheel and tyre options.

This three-owner Supercat is powered by the more powerful classic 2-litre Ford ‘Pinto’ engine, mated to a Ford Type 9 5-speed transmission. The Tiger is finished in a striking shade of yellow with a matching black and yellow interior, and sits on 15” League alloy wheels with new tyres on each corner.

With its previous owner for 11 years, the Supercat is supplied with bills for various repair works, notably an engine head gasket replacement and new timing belt/water pump in 2021 (£992), also the current and previous MOT test certificates, and IVA certificate.

Showing just 6,500 miles since being built, this is an exciting lightweight sportscar which provides a true analogue driving experience for the enthusiast or budding racer, whilst being simple and straightforward to maintain. £6,000 - £7,000

1969 Austin 8cwt Van With Austin and Morris becoming subsidiaries of BMC, the Morris commercials became sold as Austin 6cwt and Austin 8cwt, with a closed van and open pick-up versions built until the end of production in 1973.

Designed with small businesses in mind, the van version was popular with the Post Office, with the early version of these (to around 1956) having rubber front wings, to cope with the sometimes unforgiving busy situations in which they were expected to work. Both the van and the pick-up differed from the monocoque construction of the Saloon and Traveller variants by having a separate chassis. They also differed in details such as telescopic rear dampers, stiffer rear leaf springs and lower-ratio differentials to cope with the heavier loads. The commercial versions were initially marketed as the Morris Quarter Ton Van and Pick-up, with a Series III designation applied from 1956. The names Minor 6cwt Van and Pickup were used following the introduction of the 1098cc engine in 1962, and the 8cwt version was added in 1968.

This 1969 Austin 8 cwt van was with the previous owner for around 15 years, the proprietor of a race preparation business who used the van as it’s pit support vehicle. The van became a well known site at the Goodwood revival, due to its registration of POG 80G it earned the nickname of PogBog! The interior has previously been retrimmed and the paintwork refinished, and still presents well in its green livery with wider road wheels and a Moto Lita steering wheel.

In current ownership as part of a classic car collection, the van has been kept in dry storage and seldom used, hence making the decision to offer for sale. A charming classic van in good order and both ready and willing to be enjoyed once more. £8,000 - £10,000

1958 Austin Healey 100/6

● RHD from new ● Older comprehensive restoration ● With just one family since the late 1980s

Introduced in 1956, the 100/6 represented the most radical step forward in the Big Healey's development. Despite its initial success, sales of the original AustinHealey 100 had begun to decline by the mid-1950s and so the model was revamped as the '100/6', BMC's 2.6liter C-series six replacing the original four-cylinder Austin Atlantic engine. At the same time the wheelbase was lengthened from 7' 6" to 7' 8", which enabled the inclusion of two occasional seats in the rear of the BN4 variant. In 100-6 tune, the pushrod six produced 102bhp - 12bhp more than its predecessor - though the inevitable weight gain meant that there was little if any improvement in performance, the car's top speed remaining at 103mph or thereabouts.

Although stylistically very similar to the preceding 100, the 100/6 was nevertheless easily distinguishable by its 'crinkle' radiator grille and bonnet-top air intake. In 1957 an improved six-port engine became available, and this 117bhp unit was fitted to all the newly introduced BN6 two-seater roadsters. Top speed improved to 111mph and 1.7 seconds was cut from the 0-60mph time.

Built on 28th March 1958, this lovely 100/6 was delivered new to the Bristol area, specified in Healey Blue over White, with wire wheels, a hardtop, a laminated front screen, heater and “Road Speed Tyres”.

Our vendor’s father acquired the Healey in March 1987 as a project car, proceeding to dismantle it completely and undertake an exhaustive restoration. The bodywork was stripped and a new wing was fitted to the offside, then built back up and refinished in its original colours. The engine and other mechanical components were stripped and rebuilt, and the car carefully reassembled. Now back on the road, the newly restored Healey took part in several events of the 1990s, notably the popular Norwich Classic run.

Little used in recent years, the owner’s son has decided it is now time to secure a new home for the beloved Healey. All in all a very genuine example and we are sure it will bring many years of enjoyment for the lucky next owner. £28,000 - £32,000

Launched in 2000, the second-generation MercedesBenz CL-Class coupe (C215) is based upon the W220 S-Class chassis, offering wonderful comfort in everyday driving but an engaging and thrilling drive when the situation arises. The CL55 AMG was powered by a 5.4-litre V8 engine putting out 355bhp to the rear wheels, via an automatic transmission. Able to sprint from 0-62mph in 6 seconds flat, the performance of this executive coupé was something of a mystery to the uninitiated, thanks to the largely understated looks and very subtle AMG-specific additions to the bodywork.

With only 2,217 examples of the naturally aspirated V8powered CL55 being produced before the switch to a supercharged unit in 2002, these early CL55s are relatively rare, with production numbers of the later model being nearly double that of these early cars. A total of 2,217 pre-2002 cars were produced, versus a total of 4,163 post-2002 supercharged models.

At the same time Mercedes-Benz developed a roadgoing version of the Formula One Safety Car of the time, the Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG F1 Limited Edition, the first street-legal car worldwide to feature ceramic brake discs. Launched at the end of May 2000 to coincide with the start of the Formula One season, this limited run CL55 AMG was closely based on the Safety Car that Bernd Mayländer drove in the day. The F1 Edition was very exclusive, with only 55 units were earmarked for production, each priced at a whopping 330,000 Deutsche Marks (the equivalent of $185,500/£145,000).

CLASSIC CARS, SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2022 start, the CL55 AMG F1 Limited Edition was only built from summer 2000 to 2001.

The car’s party piece was the ceramic brake system, a world first for a production vehicle in 2000. In the event of full braking from full speed, it provided a stopping power of up to 1,471 kW (2,000 PS / 1,973 HP). This was made possible by a combination of internally ventilated brake discs built from fiber-reinforced ceramic and eight-piston brake calipers supplied by Brembo.

The F1 was available only in metallic silver with black and silver leather interior and optiona sports bucket seats. F1 Limited Edition logos can be found on illuminated door sills and on a carbon-fibre finished centre console along with a series number.

This truly exceptional example, number 40 of 55 units, was delivered to its first and only owner in September 2002. In the intervening years the CL55 has been stored as part of a larger collection of interesting cars, and used sparingly. With only 20,000 miles from new, the AMG has always been serviced at Mercedes-Benz main dealers as and when required.

Instantly collectible from launch, the CL55 has rapidly become a very desirable car in AMG circles, and this fabulous single owner example, offered with a full book pack and leather wallet, must be amongst the very best you can buy. £40,000 - £50,000

1955 AC Aceca

● Matching numbers engine/gearbox ● Previous owner for 42 years ● Much recent restoration work

The success of Cliff Davis' Tojeiro sports-racer prompted AC Cars to put the design into production in 1954 as the Ace. The Davis car's pretty Ferrari 166inspired barchetta bodywork was retained, as was John Tojeiro's twin-tube ladder frame chassis and Cooperinfluenced all-independent suspension, while the power unit was AC's own venerable, 2.0-litre, long-stroke six. This overhead-camshaft engine originated in 1919 and with a modest 80bhp (later 100bhp) on tap, endowed the Ace with respectable, if not outstanding, performance. A hardtop version - the fastback-styled Aceca coupé - debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1954. The Aceca's hatchback body was constructed in hand-formed aluminium over a tubular steel framework, while the tubular chassis was more substantially built than the Ace's. To reduce noise levels within the cabin, AC mounted all major components on rubber bushes. The result was a well-engineered, light in weight and extremely pretty GT car in the best AC tradition.

single block-mounted camshaft and pushrod valve actuation were retained, thus avoiding an expensive redesign. Two rocker shafts were employed, one situated above each bank of valves, giving the engine an external appearance almost indistinguishable from that of a twin-overhead-cam design. Downdraft inlet ports contributed to the motor's deep breathing, and its tune-ability made it a popular choice for British racing car constructors, most notably Cooper, during the 1950s. Externally, Bristol's clone of the BMW motor differed little from the German original, the most

Very few alterations were made to the Ace and Aceca apart from a change of engine for 1956 when the more powerful (up to 130bhp) 2.0-litre Bristol six-cylinder engine became available, while towards the end of production the 2.6-litre Ford Zephyr engine was on offer also. The Bristol six was based on that of the prewar BMW 328, which featured an ingenious cylinder head, designed by Rudolf Schleicher, incorporating hemispherical combustion chambers and inclined valves without recourse to overhead, or twin, camshafts. Instead, the earlier BMW Type 319 engine's

obvious difference being the adoption of SU, rather than Solex, carburettors part way through production. The most significant changes made by the Bristol designers were metallurgical, their utilisation of the highest quality materials contributing to greatly increased engine life. The combination of a finehandling chassis and a decent power-to-weight ratio, helped the Ace to numerous successes in production sports car racing, arguably its finest achievement being a 1st-in-class and 7th overall finish at Le Mans in 1959.

This lovely early and very original matching numbers Aceca was first registered on 27th October 1955, fitted with the AC straight six engine and triple SU carburettors, and finished in Guardsman Blue with a matching blue leather interior. In previous long term storage for 42 years, the Aceca benefitted from a comprehensive engine rebuild before being acquired by a family friend, a lifelong classic car collector and member of the VSCC, who has undertaken further cosmetic restoration works to complete the AC to the standard you see here.

The previous paintwork was stripped back to bare metal, and the car finished back to its original shade of blue metallic. The bodywork and chassis were in remarkably well preserved condition, the coachwork requiring only preparation before being refinished. The wiring was renewed throughout, and all exterior chromework and fittings placed back on the car. New Lucas 100S lights were added, notably though all other glasswork is original, as are the door frames. The original seats are in very good order so were reinstalled

alongside new carpets trimmed with the correct edging. Sitting on rebuilt 16” wire wheels (to the correct early pattern type and attached with the original AC spinners), the AC retains its drum brakes on each corner, and all suspension components. More recently the Aceca has enjoyed a tune up and general service, and we are sure with only a light amount of further preparation this will be a very rewarding car to own, drive, and possibly rally. A file of detailed images of the car is available upon request. This wonderful early and matching number example is Mille Miglia eligible, and offered with the original buff logbook and current V5C. £70,000 - £80,000

1961 Bristol 406 Saloon

● Previously registered to Mr. Tony Crook of Bristol Cars ● Good history file with servicing and restoration by marque specialists

‘Ownership of a Bristol has always said something about the owner. It says that here is a free thinker, an iconoclast, an individual; someone who ploughs his or her own furrow, takes the road less travelled and is resolutely beyond the reach of anything as vulgar as fashion, fancy or whim.’ The late (and very great) journalist LJK Setright.

The 406 two-door saloon introduced in 1957 was the last of the Filton-engined Bristols, its OHV straight-six pushrod engine fed by triple Solex carburettors having been enlarged to 2216cc to try to compete with the more modern powerpacks offered by Bristol's competition, and now known as the 'Bristol 110 Series'. It was identified by the absence of the then-familiar bonnet scoop of its predecessors and was one of the first saloon cars of its class to feature disc brakes on all four wheels. Just 174 examples of the model were built.

To make the car a little more usable a few enhancements such as a Kenlowe electric fan and Moto-Lita steering wheel have been fitted. In the cabin, Reuter seats are fitted with rare headrests, adding to a comfortable, luxurious and yet highly functional environment.

An older restoration, the 406 now shows a light patina, with a smooth running and free revving engine, and a delightful all synchromesh 4 speed gearbox with overdrive. On the open road the 406 responds to throttle pick up without delay and accelerates freely. The gearbox snicks from gear to gear until you reach a cruising 70mph, at which point you can just flick the overdrive and cruise. Back on the windy lanes the car is reassuring and gives positive feedback to the driver.

The current owner, a British car collector and noted specialist, acquired the 406 around 3 years ago and has maintained the car carefully in his ownership. The engine has benefited from a top end rebuild, the carburettors stripped and rebuilt and a new starter motor fitted. Invoices on file for in the region of £6,000 support the works completed. Finished in a stylish shade of burgundy metallic coachwork with a grey leather interior, and offered with a substantial history file and fresh MoT certificate, this elegant motor car represents a wonderful prospect for the connoisseur. £30,000 - £40,000

1959 Austin Healey Sprite ● RHD from new ● Recent restoration ● Uprated to 1275cc

The new Sprite was announced to the press in Monte Carlo on 20th May, 1958, just before the Monaco Grand Prix of that year. It was intended to be a low-cost model that 'a chap could keep in his bike shed', yet be the successor to the sporting versions of the pre-war Austin Seven. The Sprite was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company which received a royalty payment from the manufacturers, BMC. It first went on sale at a price of £669, using a mildly tuned version of the Austin A-Series engine and many other components from existing cars to keep costs down. The little Sprite quickly became affectionately known as the 'Frogeye'. The 43bhp, 948cc engine was upgraded with twin 1 1/8" SU carburettors. The rear axle was both located and sprung by quarter-elliptic leaf springs, again with lever-arm shock absorbers. There were no exterior door handles; the driver and passenger were required to reach inside to open the door. With no boot lid and access to the spare wheel and luggage compartment was achieved by tilting the seat-backs forward and reaching under the rear deck. The Sprite survived in three further iterations until production ended in 1971.

The engine was upgraded to a good 1275cc unit, which is said to run extremely nicely, breathing through a custom tubular stainless manifold and exhaust. The braking was improved with front discs, and all brake and fuel lines were replaced, as was the fuel tank itself. Finally a new wiring loom was installed.

CLASSIC CARS, SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2022 TThe legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna. In 1984 Honda commissioned the Italian car designer Pininfarina to design the HPX (Honda Pininfarina Xperimental), which had a mid-mounted 2.0 litre V6 configuration. Following Honda's decision to pursue the project, the management informed the engineers that the new car would have to be as good as anything coming from both Italy and Germany. The HPX concept car evolved into the NSX (New Sportscar eXperimental).

The NSX featured a state of the art 3.0-litre V6 ‘VTEC’ engine (variable valve timing) and an all-aluminum monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame and suspension. This made the car extremely light and extremely strong. Other game-changing features included 4 channel ABS

brakes, titanium connecting rods in the engine and later in the model’s life – an electric power steering system as well as an upgrade to a 3.2-litre V6 engine. This was the first real Japanese ‘Supercar’, proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. The original performance target for the NSX was the Ferrari 328; subsequently revised to the 348 as the design neared completion. The bodywork design had been specifically researched after studying the 360 degree visibility inside an F-16 fighter jet. The cars were assembled by approximately 200 of Honda's highest-skilled and most experienced personnel; a team of hand-picked staff with a minimum of ten years assembly experience employed from various other

Today the NSX is still considered by owners of the marque as one of the most reliable exotic cars ever manufactured with many examples comfortably exceeding 100,000 miles without serious reliability issues. Production continued right up until 2005, with only subtle changes made throughout its life.

Finished in Green Metallic with contrasting Tan Leather, this very well presented example was supplied new to its first UK owner in January 1997, to coupe specification with the optional automatic gearbox.

In the intervening years the NSX has been serviced a total of 15 times, and only by the Honda dealer network, up to the last service at 62,700 miles in 2014.

1964 Fiat 500D Transformable

Introduced in July 1957, the 'Nuova 500' was the original city car, with a clever monocoque bodyshell, independent suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Engineered by Dante Giacosa, the newcomer utilised a different mechanical layout to its 'Topolino' predecessor. Its rear-mounted, air-cooled, two-cylinder OHV 479cc engine was a first for Fiat.

Inheriting its larger 499.5cc unit from the short-lived 'Sport' variant, the 500 D debuted in 1960. With its rearhinged 'suicide' doors and generous sunroof, the diminutive four-seater weighed in at a little over 500kgs. As such, it was able to extract a 60mph plus top speed from just 17.5bhp.

CLASSIC CARS, SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2022 IIt is remarkable to think of the effect the E-Type had on the world when launched in 1961. At a time when 70 mph was considered perfectly rapid enough for a family car, here was a British-built sports car which could hit a claimed 150mph! The top speed figure was possibly a little optimistic but the public didn’t object - with a list price of just over £2,000 it was half the price and just as striking as its more exotic rivals from Italy.

The Jaguar E-Type is without doubt one of the most important and prettiest sports cars of all time, at its Geneva Auto Saloon launch in 1961 Enzo Ferrari famously referred to the E-Type as the most beautiful car in the world, and he surely was someone who should know. Clearly the E-Type was strongly influenced by the famous Le Mans-winning D-Type racer of the late 1950s. Less famous but no less relevant was the lesser known E1A prototype of 1957; smaller and less powerful than the final production EType but showcasing the new independent rear suspension design that went on to be a hallmark of Jaguar models for four decades. The E-Type’s performance did not disappoint; it weighed around 500lb less than the preceding XK150 and sported one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car.

Chassis Number 885801 rolled off Jaguar’s Brown’s Lane production line on 14th March 1962, to Left Hand Drive European specification, finished in Opalescent Dark blue with a matching leather interior. Bought under the tax-free personal export sales scheme, the E-Type was allocated the Coventry registration WK 951 on 2nd May 1962. The car was purchased by racing driver and distributor Peter Lindner.

In the early 1960s Peter Lindner was a German importer and distributor for both Aston Martin and Jaguar, and also a successful racing driver. Most of his early sales went to British or American servicemen stationed in Germany, before later enticing his fellow Germans to switch from their beloved Mercedes and Porsches. His racing career started in 1957 driving a Jaguar XK120, then a 3.4 litre Mark I saloon before going on to drive an

CLASSIC CARS, SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2022 Aston Martin DB4 GT and Lotus Elite. From 1963 he moved to a works prepared 3.8 litre Jaguar Mark II, later graduating to a Lightweight E-Type.

Lindner hired his friend Peter Nöcker to form a race team, and in May 1963 Lightweight E-Type 4868 WK (the fifth of the twelve Lightweight E-Types) was delivered to Lindner. After some success in 1963, for the 1964 season the Lightweight roadster returned to the factory to receive bodywork improvements. The car emerged with a rear copied from that of the “Low Drag Coupé”, transforming it into a sublime coupé.

On 11 October 1964, during the 1,000 km race on the Montlhéry circuit near Paris, Lindner sadly passed away (aged 34) after colliding with Franco Patria’s AbarthSimca 1300. Clipping the bales of straw, the car was thrown about ten metres in the air, spinning in the process and ejecting Lindner who was not strapped in. The Jaguar hit Patria’s Abarth and pushed him against a wall. Franco Patria and the three marshalls were also killed immediately.

We understand around the same time our car, 951 WK, was sold to a Mr. R. Rockwell of Konstanz in Germany, who possibly took the E-Type home with him to the U.S. as by 1971 it resided in the state of Indiana. An English enthusiast acquired the E-Type in 1993 from dealer marque specialists Thoroughbred Motors of Sarasota, Florida. The E-type had been partly restored, leaving the bare metal body and front subframe to be repainted to its original colour.

Repatriated into the UK in the same year, the E-type was reunited with its original registration number '951 WK', which it wears to this day. The previous owner proceeded with restoration work including a bare metal repaint, and a conversion to Right Hand Drive specification by specialist M. & C. Wilkinson of Yorkshire, and further mechanical work by R. G. Bate

Engineering of Merseyside. By 1994 the Jaguar was in use once again but since the late 90's has lain in dry storage.

Although clearly once more a candidate for restoration, the E-Type is in remarkably sound condition. The bodywork is very straight and appears to be largely rust-free, the engine bay and subframes are complete and present well. Offered in the history file are previous MoT certificates dating back to the late 1990s, previous restoration photos, a dating certificate confirming the original specification and also various bills and invoices for previous work carried out. With a fascinating and significant earlier history and fundamentally in very straight condition, this would make a rewarding restoration project for any collector or enthusiast. £40,000 - £50,000

1989 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet

● One of only 53 produced in RHD specification

Ferrari's first effort at building a car suitable for markets throughout the world, the Mondial 8 deployed the 308GT4's 3.0-liter quad-cam V8 engine in a lengthened version of the latter's chassis. Transmission and running gear remained much the same, with five-speed transaxle and independent suspension all round. Although reckoned by some to be less sporting than other Ferraris, the Mondial was still good for 140mphplus and its ride quality and comfort scored over long distances.

Developments included a proper (non-Targa) Cabriolet, the introduction of a more-powerful 'Qv' (quattro-valvole: four-valves-percylinder) engine in 1982 and enlargement to 3.2 liters for 1985.

CLASSIC CARS, SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2022 The final iteration of the Mondial was the Mondial T, which was introduced in 1989 with a larger 3,405 cc V-8 engine mated to a transversely-mounted transmission, devised for Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars over a decade earlier. With output approaching 300-horsepower, the larger engine propelled the Mondial T to 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds and onwards to a reported top speed of 158 miles per hour.

This original RHD Mondial T Cabriolet, one of only 53 produced for the UK market, was delivered on 1st December 1989 via Maranello Concessionaires in Egham, finished in Rosso Corsa with a Nero leather interior. The first owner was Mr. Nigel Chiltern-Hunt, a very well known gentleman in Ferrari circles and former president of the Ferrari Owners’ Club in the UK. In the intervening years and through subsequent owners the Mondial has been maintained by Maranello Sales and specialists such as Mortimer, Houghton and Turner, Kent High Performance, Mike Reader and Damax Motorsport. There is a thick file of bills to support works completed until the early 2000s, also the Ferrari service book which contains 7 stamps in total up to 38,000 miles in 2005.

Now showing c. 44,500 miles recorded, since 2009 the Mondial has been dry stored in a private collection. Whilst the bodywork is in very good order, we would advise treating the car to a full service including timing belt before being used on the road once more. Offered with the original Ferrari leather wallet and all books, Ferrari toolkit, a good file of older invoices, several previous MoT certificates, current V5C and older registration documents, we feel this rare example will prove to be a very good prospect for the Ferrari enthusiast. £28,000 - £32,000

1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

● In current ownership since 2003 ● £40,000 invested in restoration and maintenance works

It was at the 1948 London Motor Show that Jaguar threw the sports car world into turmoil with its stunning XK120. Here was a car with incredible style and looks, a powerful six cylinder engine installed in an outstanding chassis, and a remarkably low price, a quarter that of a V12 Ferrari, but with similar performance. At the heart of the William Lyons styled roadster was that all-new 3,442cc twin overhead camshaft XK engine, producing 160bhp via twin SU carburettors, sufficient for 126mph and 0-60mph in 10 seconds. The fastest nonsupercharged production sports model at the time, its claimed top speed of 120mph was so astonishing that to prove it Jaguar took one over to Belgium, and clocked over 130mph.

The response from the public at the Motor Show launch on 20th October 1948 caught Jaguar by surprise, and as orders poured in it was immediately obvious that the level of home and export demand could only be satisfied by moving from a lightweight alloy-bodied ash frame construction to tooling up for volume production in steel. This took time to achieve and the first 57 right hand drive cars, and 183 left-hand drive cars, were hand-produced in lightweight aluminium alloy. The XK120 became a massive success both on the road and the track, where it scored numerous victories. The many drivers included Stirling Moss, Peter Walker, Peter Whitehead, Leslie Johnson and Ian Appleyard. In XK120C/C-Type form it won Le Mans in both 1951 and 1953, while its engine was to power three more Le

CLASSIC CARS, SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2022 Sarthe winners and a whole host of successful Jaguar models for the next fifty years.

This quite stunning XK120 Roadster rolled off the Brown’s Lane production line in the last week of June 1952, finished in Black with a Red leather interior. Soon after the Jaguar embarked on its long journey to Mozambique in Africa and to its first owner, a Mr. Raul S Cruz e Silva. The XK120 stayed with him for some 20 or more years before passing to its second owner in Johannesburg, who kept the Jaguar in a small collection of classics for a similar length of time before selling to our vendor in 2003. At some point the colour scheme was changed to Carmen red with cream leather trim (which was a little more forgiving for drivers in this part of the world), a scheme it wore when returning to the UK.

Since 2003 a huge amount of care and attention has been lavished on the XK, in the main with Jaguar specialists such as Powerbell Services, Marcus Barclay,

A thick file of bills, for in the region of £40,000, details the various works completed, resulting in the genuinely superb example presented here. A criticism of the early XK model is that they can be a little awkward to drive for the taller owner. Thankfully in this case the pedal box has been adjusted to address this issue. Now truly resplendent in its original exterior colour of Black, with rare and original half spats and steel rims, this is a fine example of one of the most beautiful postwar classic cars ever to grace the roads. The Jaguar is supplied with a history file detailing works completed, Jaguar handbook, current V5C and previous Mozambique title document, the original and complete tool roll, and current UK MoT certificate valid to April 2022., £70,000 - £80,000

1960 Porsche 356B (T5) Roadster by Drauz

From its humble beginnings, Porsche’s 356 evolved into the car that established both Porsche and the 356 as industry icons. A class win at Le Mans in 1951 showed its capabilities, but it was legendary New York dealer Max Hoffman who influenced the factory and made it desirable among wealthy American buyers. The 356 B model ran for three years from 1960, featuring styling changes and technical upgrades. Launched at the 1959 Frankfurt Show, the new body featured raised headlamps, a re-designed fuel tank for better luggage space, and a larger front boot lid. The interior boasted better instrumentation and more comfortable seats, and the convertible got a better top. It was a sophisticated European sports car capable of a 115 mph top speed. The model attracted celebrities like Steve McQueen and Janis Joplin.

Not to be confused with a regular cabriolet, the Roadsters, built by Drauz coachworks between 1959 and 1961 (for model years 1960 to 1962), are a direct descendant of a Speedster.

The Roadster features a sleeker silhouette, a lower, more attractive windscreen with the chrome surround (like a Speedster, built to be removable for sporting use), one-piece wind up windows, the lovely Speedster style dashboard, no rear seats and a lighter single layer hood.

Like many European-produced sportscars of the period, this Roadster was delivered new to its first US owner in 1960, originally leaving the factory in Heron Grey. By the early 1990s the Roadster was brought to the Channel Islands by a German car collector, later changing hands but remaining on the Islands. The 356 has been subject to a previous restoration, finished in a period-correct shade of Ivory, with a black roof and interior.

The bonnet catch and engine lid have chassis-matching stamps, also correct Roadster doors and original detail fixtures and fittings are to be found on the car. At some point in the past the original engine (Type 616/1 1600cc) was replaced with a similar unit. Interested buyers should note that as the car resides still in the Channel Islands, if it were to be imported into the UK it would be subject to the historic rate of import duty at 5%.

1958 Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon

● Supplied new by H. Leverton & Co. Ltd of Spalding ● Original buff logbook and registration number

Typifying the growing economic confidence of the mid 1950s, the Bentley S1 was larger, faster and more boldly styled than its R-Type predecessor. Introduced in 1955, there was nothing average about its 'Standard Steel Saloon' bodywork. A masterclass in formal elegance, it was underpinned by a new cruciformbraced box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a twin SU carburettor fed 4887cc straight-six engine allied to standard-fit four-speed automatic transmission, the S1 could exceed 100mph. Once affectionately described as "a veritable country club on wheels", the model's inviting leather-and-wood trimmed cabin promised relaxation and contentment. Some 2,927 S1 Standard Steel Saloons were made prior to the arrival of the V8-powered S2 in 1959.

1939 Lagonda V12 Sports Saloon

● Continuous ownership history from new

"It is a new-born car, unrelated to any yet on the road here or on the Continent. Such is the 12-cylinder Lagonda - a car destined to rank from now on, among the greater names in motoring history." (Lagonda Automobiles, August 1937)

Often regarded as the finest of W.O.Bentley’s efforts (and let us not forget this is one with an exceptional Curriculum Vitae), the Lagonda V12 was by far the standout British model of its day, seated firmly in an exclusive club of 1930s road cars that could exceed 100mph in standard tune. Launched in 1936 at the Olympia Motor Show, the new V12 was the ultimate expression of a supergroup of exceptional designers of the era, with a simple design ethos; sportscar pace and performance with limousine comfort.

The fabulous V12, inspired by contemporary aero engines, featured twin overhead camshafts (one per bank), twin SU carburettors, a combined duplex-chain / gear-driven timing system and Lanchester-type vibration damper. The 4.5 litre unit could deliver an ample 180hp at 5,500rpm, driven through a sporty centrally-mounted four-speed manual gearbox and conventional pedal layout.

Deliveries did not commence until 1938, topping a mere 189 chassis before the commencement of World War Two ended production. The advanced chassis

employed double-wishbone independent front suspension and was made available with a varied choice of coachwork; the short-chassis V12 Rapide roadster of course provided even more performance and desirability. Of the Lagonda V12s produced between 1938 and 1940, under 100 are thought to have survived to the present day. Chassis 14070 was ordered in late 1938 by a Mr. Bertram Parkinson of Creskeld Hall, Arthington, near Leeds in West Yorkshire. Parkinson was a very successful wool merchant with a large business in nearby Bradford. On 14th December 1938, Short Chassis Number 14070 was allocated to the build, alongside one of the improved Sanction 2 engines (number V12/139). At the end of the following January a short chassis sports saloon body (number 8057) was added to the order. The following week 14070 was painted in Dockers Gun Metal Grey (3681) and trimmed in Lagonda LG1 Brown leather, with matching carpets and baize headliner. Of

course, as befitting a man of his status, Parkinson specified his new Lagonda with a few choice options, specifically a sliding sun-roof, sun visors, a rear screen blind, folding luggage carrier, Lucas Mellotone twin horns, a Smiths luminous clock, a Lucas fog/passing lamp, Lucas external mirrors, a set of ACE wheel discs and a full front bumper.

Suitably equipped, 14070 left the works in the last week of March for Lagonda’s London showrooms, presumably to be presented to well-heeled clientele before being dispatched to Central Garage Ltd. of Bradford on 3rd of May 1939. Now becoming DAK 880, 14070 was registered in early June 1939 and then handed over to Mr. Parkinson.

A mere two weeks later, DAK 880 was back to the works for its first service at 1100 miles, which included rectifying one or two rattles and small water leaks, and the fitting of a new starter motor. Later the same summer, DAK was returned to the works for a precontinental tour check over. We understand the Parkinsons were soon after touring the Swiss mountains when war was declared, necessitating a high speed blast back via France to the safety of home turf.

After returning from its continental trip, DAK was once more at the Works for an oil change and new speedo. The current mileage was 9,064 - it had clearly been a busy and eventful 3 months of ownership! DAK visited the Works in January, April and again May of 1940, at which point it remained at Creskeld Hall and up on blocks with the wheels removed. A somewhat dubious

note at the time claimed the clutch had failed, the real reason for lay up was more likely for fear of it being requisitioned for the war effort.

DAK returned to the roads after the war, making a further appearance at the Works for a major overhaul at just under 11,000 miles. At which point we believe Mr. Parkinson , traded his trusty Lagonda in, and it passed to its 2nd owner, Mr. A.B.Clifford of Farnley Sand & Gravel, in April 1947. One year later and the mighty Lagonda changed hands once more, to a Mr. Anthony Green of Morley, Yorks, and then again to a Mr. Stanton Willis-Bates of Ilkley, director of the nearby Vapalux Lamp Company. After around one year, DAK moved to its next owner via the trade, a Mr. Eric Horton of Derby took delivery on 19th May 1949.

Mr. Horton kept DAK for 5 years, during which time it was carefully maintained by Works, before trading back to Hoffman Garages’ Leicester branch in the summer of 1954. At this point we believe the Lagonda passed through London dealer H.R. Owen to a Mr Frederick Henry Neubert of Keston in Kent. Mr. Neubert was clearly a keen driver, acquiring presumably a speeding ticket in January 1955 with a notice to produce his documents at a Peckham police station Now DAK’s sixth owner, Mr. Neubert enjoyed the V12 until 1960, at which point it was sold to avid V12 Lagonda enthusiast Jim Whitehead of New South Wales in Australia, who at the time were touring the UK seeking to acquire suitable examples to add to his collection.

Arriving off the boat in Sydney harbour, Jim drove his new acquisition up and down his farm road a few times, then into storage in a dry barn. So swift was the Lagonda’s transit into storage, that the wax crayon markings on the windows stating ‘KEY 23’ (the allocated number from the outward shipping journey) remain over 60 years later, still to be found on the car’s door glass. With a sizeable collection of 14 V12 Lagondas, Jim Whitehead was a renowned expert and contributor to the V12 revised handbook and workshop manual of 2003. During his ownership, Jim fully rebuilt four of his V12’s engines, applying knowledge gained over several decades to incorporate various improvements, from camshaft timing recalibrations to revised lubrication. DAK’s engine benefitted from such experience. Having restored the engine (around 12 years ago now), Jim

1960 Messerschmitt KR200 Kabinenroller

● Highly collectible UK-delivered example ● Rarely available project for the enthusiast

The Messerschmitt KR200, or Kabinenroller (Cabin Scooter), is a three-wheeled bubble car designed by the aircraft engineer Fritz Fend and produced in the factory of the German aircraft manufacturer Messerschmitt. Temporarily not allowed to manufacture aircraft, the firm had turned its resources to making other products. In 1952, Fend approached Messerschmitt with the idea of manufacturing small motor vehicles. These were based on his Fend Flitzer invalid carriage. The first of Fend's vehicles to enter production at Messerschmitt's Regensburg factory was the KR175. The KR200 replaced the KR175 in 1955. The KR200 was an almost total redesign - the rear suspension and engine mounting were reworked, and hydraulic shock absorbers were installed at all three wheels. The KR200 shows its aeronautical heritage with its hinged cockpit opening roof. There was a 4-speed gearbox but no reverse gear, however the factory designed a counter-rotating ignition system so by turning the engine off and pushing the key in whilst starting, this fires the engine in reverse so you effectively have 4 gears going backwards!

BMW Isetta is one of the more successful designs of its type, built under license from its Italian originator, Iso. Facing competition from Fiat, Renzo Rivolta's Iso was not selling well in its native Italy and so was passed to BMW develop.

The Isetta was powered by a BMW single-cylinder fourstroke motorcycle engine of 247cc, with the coachwork featuring a single side-hinged door at the front, a rolltop sunroof and fixed side windows, while the steering wheel and dashboard were attached to the door to facilitate entry.

The Isetta microcar was built under licence in a number of different countries, including Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

2004 MV Agusta F4 SPR

● Brand new, unregistered example ● Used for display purposes only from new

After MV Agusta was revived in the late ‘90s via the release of the Massimo Tamburini-designed masterpiece that was the F4 750, the elite Italian marque slowly continued developing its new flagship model in the years that followed. The three-quarter liter model culminated with the SPR. On top of updating the F4, MV also unleashed several small batches of elite limited edition variants such as the Senna, Neiman Marcus, and the SPR versions — the last of which was the fastest and most powerful three-quarter-liter F4 until it was eventually replaced by the 1,000cc version after 2004 (plus it was one of the most powerful 750 money could buy at the time).

At the heart of the SPR was a liquid-cooled, WeberMarelli fuel-injected, 749.4cc, four-stroke, DOHC, 16V, inline-four with a reinforced clutch and a six-speed close-ratio gearbox. Thanks to some massaging in the form of a new cylinder head, new inlet ducts, revised combustion chamber, and trick MAHLE pistons, the 414 lb SPR generated a very impressive 146 hp, 64 ft-lbs of torque, offered a top speed of over 170 mph, fired off standing quarter mile runs in under 11 seconds, and could rev up to 13,900 rpm.

Further distinguishing the SPR from the F4s that came before it was its bevy of carbon fiber pieces which included a carbon front fender, airbox sidecovers, upper and lower chain guards, and ignition cover. The special edition SPR also boasted a competition-style monoposto seating arrangement. The SPR also afforded its rider three separate final ratio drive setups to cater to different types of circuits, plus MV offered the “RG3” open exhaust system as an add-on, though the SPR did come with a special race-style, four-pipe, undertail, somehow street-legal exhaust. The SPR’s steel tubular trellis chassis was mated to a set of TIN-treated inverted Marzocchi forks, while its single-sided swing-arm was linked to a Sachs monoshock — both of which were fully adjustable. Slowing the limited edition MV were six-piston calipers chomping down on a set of drilled 310mm rotors,

complimented by a four-pot unit biting a 210mm disc in back. The SPR rolled along on a set of polished “fivestar” aluminum wheels, juxtaposed with a matte black livery with grey saddle and red highlights with a silver “SPR” logo adorning the fairing.

Though it’s been two full decades since its initial release, MV Agusta has overall given the F4 remarkably few cosmetic updates over its 20 years of production. After all, there’s been very little need to fix what’s not broken as the F4 has stood the test of time remarkably well — a feat helped along by the fact it happened to be pretty futuristic-looking at the time of release. So much so in fact, that the F4 SPR was featured in the 2004 science-fiction film I, Robot. The film was set in 2034, but the SPR looked right at home among a series of farout concept vehicles depicted in the Will Smith flick. This 2004 MV Agusta F4 SPR is brand new and has never been used on the road. The SPR was supplied to the first owner in 2004, a collector who kept the bike as a display item in his home for a number of years. The bike has never been ridden, nor filled with fuel, or even fitted with a battery. The manufacturer's sticker with barcode is still attached to the front headlight, and the original MV cover is also included. This is genuinely an unrepeatable opportunity for the true bike collector, certainly one not to miss. £19,000 - £22,000

2013 MEV Exocet Turbo

Very much in the style of other stripped out pure track day cars, the MEV Exocet has built a reputation as being both the best value and best selling, and one of the most thrilling kit cars in the world.

The beauty of this conversion is its simplicity; using a donor Mazda MX5 base the MEV approach leaves the engine and all associated parts in situ, whilst replacing the MX5 monocoque with the G-type Exocet chassis. Wearing a new exoskeletal chassis and lightweight grp panels, the Exocet is 50% lighter than a Mazda MX5, giving a huge improvement in terms of power to weight ratio. The Exocet has a lightweight tubular fully triangulated space frame chassis, built to the highest standard and approved by structural engineers.

The other advantage is the support available through a very active and helpful online MEV Owner’s Forum, providing not only help to build a MEV, but also once completed the opportunity to meet up with other MEV owners.

This well made Exocet was based on a 2013 kit, married to an MX5 donor car, with an 1840cc motor turbo charged to deliver in the region of 230bhp, giving this lightweight racer true supercar performance.

The Exocet is finished in a striking orange and black livery with Fox alloy wheels on each corner, and four point harnesses to keep both you and your co-driver firmly in place. Supporting documentation includes the original Mazda book pack (including service book), bills for various parts acquired during the build, a copy of the IVA documentation for roadworthiness, and service bills since being put onto the road in its new guise.

With just 2600 miles since being converted, IVA certificate, and an MoT certificate to July 2022, this is a truly exhilarating car for track days or weekend blasts. £9,000 - £11,000

Each lot is subject to a buyer’s premium of 12% inclusive of VAT @ 20%.

2002 Porsche 996 Carrera 4S Coupe

The 996 Carrera Coupe made its world debut at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show. Controversially, it bore more than a passing resemblance to the cheaper Boxster, being almost identical ahead of the A-pillar. Lai had spent many hours in a wind tunnel refining the car’s slippery shape and a Cd of just 0.30 was the result, down from 0.33 for the 993. An electric rear spoiler extends at 75mph, then retracts again at 37mph – Mr Lai recalls how he had to fight for the inclusion of the electrically operated rear spoiler to better manage downforce at high speeds, despite the company arguing there wasn’t enough money in the pot for this to be included. Thankfully Lai won through, and the active spoiler was included as standard in the final production specification.

Designed to be the ultimate sports coupe, Porsche introduced the 911 Type 996 Carrera 4S in 2003 combining an all-wheel-drive chassis, 3.6-liter, 320horsepower non-turbo flat-six with wide rear fenders, larger rolling stock, massive air-intake grills and a host of modern tech normally reserved for the 911 Turbo. This was and still is one of the best 911’s ever to leave Stuttgart. Design cues like the tail light stretched across the rear wing, recently re-finding its way onto the latest generation 911 C4S. With acceleration that has to be felt to be believed the 996 C4S will hunt down the apex of any corner like a tiger and fire out the other end delivering all 320bhp to the tarmac using the industry’s lightest all-wheel drive system. First registered in December 2002, this 2003 model year 996 Carrera 4S was supplied in Arctic Silver with a black leather interior which extends to the dash and

door panels, and fitted with Porsche’s 5-speed Tiptronic gearbox.

In the intervening years the 996 has been regularly serviced, with a total of 13 stamps in the service book, also supporting bills. In current ownership much additional maintenance has been performed, including a major service with all belts and coil packs, new stainless steel exhaust manifolds, a new Dansk exhaust system (including heat shields), four new Pirelli tyres and wheel bolts, and a new battery. The braking system was treated to an overhaul, with all new brake pipes (including crossover pipes which require the engine to be removed), all new bleed nipples and new pads all round. Lastly the power steering rack and associated hoses were replaced. Over a 6 month period we estimate in the region of £10,000+ was invested in getting this 996 into top order. Now reading 98,000 miles from new, the 996 is offered with an MoT to September 2022. The Turbo-bodied Carrera 4S model is widely tipped as one of the 911 models to watch in coming years, and we feel this well sorted example is well worth a closer look. £19,000 - £21,000

1995 Aston Martin DB7 Coupe

● Fitted with the desirable manual gearbox

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.

Registration Number:

Recorded Mileage:

Chassis Number:

SCFAA1116SK100238

The DB7 was available as a coupé or convertible, and with a manual or an automatic gearbox. Initially offered with either a straight-six or a V8 engine, the range was later expanded to include the glorious six-litre V12 engine. Famously intended to be the Jaguar F-Type, the DB7’s chassis can trace its roots directly to that of the Jaguar XJS though the underpinnings were so thoroughly re-engineered by Tom Walkinshaw racing (TWR) as to make them completely different cars. Built in the same factory that used to build the Jaguar XJ220, the DB7 is the only modern Aston Martin to utilise a steel monocoque body. First registered on 1st August 1995, this early sixcylinder DB7 Coupe was specified in metallic black with a cream leather interior (piped in black) and the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox. In its early years the DB7 was serviced by Stratstone (until 2002), and thereafter by specialists, with various bills to support maintenance work undertaken. Notably the DB7 benefitted from new brake discs and pads around 5,000 miles ago, and more recently the Turbo was overhauled and the engine tuned, also new track rod ends and a battery were fitted. Another welcome addition is the fitting of a new stainless exhaust system to the car.

The bodywork is said to be in generally very good order with only one or two minor blemishes, and the interior also presents very well for its age with only a few signs of wear commensurate with age. The DB7 is offered complete with original service book, invoices for work completed and parts acquired, a new MoT certificate to January 2023, and UK V5C. The DB7 is a very good looking and highly usable modern classic, and we feel this manual example offers excellent value in the current market. £15,000 - £17,000

2010 Audi R56 Saloon

The Audi RS6 with its V10 engine is a ludicrously quick family car that can still deliver supercar scaring performance more than a decade after its release.

Audi’s introduction of the C6 RS6 must have seemed like the equivalent of bringing a machine gun to a knife fight, instantly relegating BMW’s screaming naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V10 and Mercedes’ big capacity 6.2litre V8 into runner up positions. This was thanks to a stonking 572bhp twin-turbo 5.0-litre V10 lurking under its aluminium bonnet.

Equipped with Audi’s trademark all-wheel-drive system, the RS6 not only outgunned its rivals but could actually put all that power to good use in less than ideal conditions. It may have lacked the finesse of its Bavarian counterpart, but it was the faster car in realworld conditions and the estate body style was enough to make it the default family-friendly supercar choice for many. A saloon variant was introduced soon afterwards, and this autobahn monster was produced for three years before someone realised that having a twin-turbo 5.0-litre V10 in a family car was more than just a little ludicrous.

It may have been more powerful than contemporary Porsches and Ferraris but the RS6 has proven to be reliable too, although running costs can still be high thanks to heavy fuel consumption and the need to replace the tyres and brakes regularly. The optional carbon ceramic brakes last longer but are even pricier to replace. Just think of it all as an entertainment expense and enjoy the searing performance on offer.

The C7 replacement went the downsizing route with its 4.0-litre V8, and while it was more than up to the job, this meant that the more powerful and unhinged V10 variant was relegated to the job of reminding us what happened when the German horsepower race got out of hand. This rare Audi RS6 Saloon was delivered new in 2010, finished in metallic black with a full cream leather interior. The RS has covered 72,000 miles from new, with Full Service History, and has just benefited from a recent full service. Additionally all four wheels have recently been refurbished, and new tyres fitted. As you would expect the Audi is very well specified from new, with a Bose speaker system, dual zone climate control, electric memory front seats, heated front (and rear) seats, automatic lights and wipers, automatic high beam assist, electric folding door mirrors, keyless entry and start, Bluetooth phone connection, DAB radio, TV and Audi Music interface, also carbon fibre inlays and engine cover.

Supplied with a full book pack and both keys, this is a hugely capable super saloon fitted with a monstrous twin-turbocharged V10, the likes of which we are never likely to see again. £20,000 - £25,000

1972 Land Rover 109” Pickup

The British Army used series Land Rovers in large numbers (and continues to use the modern Defender versions). The British Army tested the 80-inch (2.03 m) series-I Land Rover almost as soon as it was launched in 1948. At that time, the Army was more interested in developing a specially designed military utility 4×4 (the Austin Champ). However, the Champ proved too complex, heavy and unreliable in battlefield conditions so the Army looked to the Land Rover. In the late 1940s the Ministry of Defence was keen on the standardisation of its vehicles and equipment.

By the late 1970s, the British Army had acquired around 9,000 series-III models, which were mainly a special "heavy duty" version of the 109-inch (2.77 m) soft top.

These models had improved suspension components and a different chassis cross-member design. These were produced in 12-volt 'GS' models and 24-volt 'FFR' versions. All British military Land Rovers used the 2.25litre four-cylinder petrol engine, except the forward control 101 which used the 3.5 litre Rover V8 engine . However, some overseas customers (such as The Netherlands) specified the 2.25-litre diesel unit instead.

This 1972 109-inch Land-Rover was first used by the British military in the early 1970s. There are signs on the bodywork of light yellow and sand-coloured paint, suggesting it may have been used overseas before returning to the UK and being painted in standard issue Khaki green. We understand the Land-Rover was decommissioned around 1983/4. Now in private hands, in current ownership the doors have been replaced, as has the full canvas tilt.

Although with obvious variations in colour and flaking of the paintwork, the Land-Rover is in remarkably solid condition and is said to run very well. A good old truck which can be used as is or restored as the new owner sees fit. £5,000 - £6,000

JFJ 47

Recorded Mileage:

23,300 miles

Chassis Number:

58S2879

Riley became part of the Morris-MG-Wolseley Nuffield Organization in 1938. The RM was announced in 1945 and would continue to preserve the Riley character with its technically-advanced chassis and with coach-built body choices of sporting designs. Riley's successful pre-war engine design was carried over and featured hemispherical combustion chambers and twin camshafts operating valves through short pushrods. The four cylinder engines had a cubic centimeter displacement of 2443cc and were fitted with twin SU carburetors. The result was an impressive 100 horsepower and a factory advertised top speed of 100 miles per hour. The engine was coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox and the chassis was fitted with an independent torsion bar front suspension and live rear axle with semi-elliptic springs. The Riley RM-series cars are often called 'the last of the real Rileys', were among the first redesigned British cars to be introduced after World War II, the swansong of the marque before it was subsumed into the mighty British Motor Corporation. The model range was manufactured in Coventry until 1949, when production moved to the MG factory at Abingdon. The RMA/RME were large Saloons powered by 1.5-litre four-cylinder engines, while the 7-inches longer RMB/RMF models featured twin-cam 2.5-litre units. The RMC and RMD were limited edition soft-tops. While the latter was a conventional two-door Drophead Coupe, the RMC was a two-door Roadster version of the RMB.

This stylish and attractive RM was first delivered in RMB Saloon specification on March 1948 to Mr. Arthur Edward Langdon of Exeter in Devon, who owned the Riley into the 1960s before trading to a Mr. Slade of Weymouth. It is believed to have had just one further owner until latterly being acquired to be converted into the attractive two-door convertible form of the RMD model. The body was stripped and dismantled, expertly converted to 2 door DHC configuration, and then completed to a high standard. The coachwork was very nicely finished in an attractive palette of dark green over cream, contrasted by a newly retrimmed cream

leather interior. The chromework was refinished, and the car was treated to a new exhaust system.

Returning to the UK roads in 2016, at a later stage (and presumably due to an overheating issue) the coolant system was overhauled, and reassuringly the engine gained a top-end rebuild (a bill for a further c.£2,000 in the file supports this work).

The result of all of these efforts are a supremely stylish motor car, built and finished to a good standard, and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. This charming example is offered with its original buff log book and a file of bills for various works completed. £15,000 - £16,000

Chassis Number:

KBA262514

The 1948-1953 Chevrolet Series 3100 ½ ton pick-ups benefited from a redesign that took Chevrolet trucks into a new era of comfort, convenience and style. Chevrolets restyled ‘Advance Design’ trucks were introduced in 1947, well ahead of its first new post-war cars and little changed in appearance through 1953. The basic intent was to provide more room and comfort for occupants. These pick-ups had a new bench seat accommodating three people instead of the old separate seats and for the first time the seat was adjustable for longer leg room. The cab, described as ‘Unisteel Battleship’ construction, was larger in every direction. New extra-wide doors swung open on concealed hinges and extended down to cover the sills. The window area grew considerably via a wider windscreen, side windows and backlight, a vast improvement all-round compared to the previous models.

This extremely solid Chevrolet truck was discovered in San Antonio, Texas, and imported into the UK last year. Upon first view, although currently a non-runner and clearly a candidate for restoration, and with lots of sunburnt paint and surface rust, this is a very solid old truck which should prove a perfect basis for either a full or just mechanical restoration dependent on the look the new owner prefers. The Chevrolet is offered with a Texas title and proof of taxes paid. £6,000 - £8,000

1974 Airstream Land Yacht

● Fully converted to a luxury special occasions/conference venue ● Complete with power/WIFI/screen/fridge/coffee machine ● Seats up to 15 people in comfort

Airstream is an American brand of caravan ("travel trailer" in American English) easily recognised by the distinctive shape of its rounded and polished aluminum coachwork. This body shape dates back to the 1930s and is based on the Bowlus Road Chief, an earlier allaluminum travel trailer designed and built by Hawley Bowlus, the same designer and engineer who also oversaw the construction of the Spirit of St. Louis.

There’s always been a close connection between Airstream and the ocean, and that connection was born from the very beginnings of the company. Wally Byam was an avid camper and hiker, and that’s part of what led him to build the first Airstream trailer – but his spirit of exploration and his self-sufficiency in the wilds were both conceived from his love of the ocean.

His experiences on the ocean inspired and influenced Airstream in a lot of ways, the space limitations on an ocean-faring vessel require efficiency and pose unique challenges to comfort, and Wally’s maritime adventures gave him insight as to how comfort and utility can be maximised in small spaces.

From top to bottom, the Land Yacht is designed with the ocean in mind, and is inspired by the world’s finest watercraft. Everything from the galley to the bedroom, from the upholstery to the woodwork has a sleek, sophisticated look that evokes quality, luxury, and the open sea. The spirit of Wally and of the Caravan are part of what makes the Land Yacht special.

This fantastic 1974 Landyacht was recently converted by a business called The Mobile Room to create a stimulating and inspiring environment in which to facilitate work away events, landmark family occasions, or just a fun summer hangout space. The interior has been cleverly and stylishly fitted out to a high standard to create a large room to serve this purpose, complete with a generator for power, WIFI, presentation monitor, a coffee machine and a fridge. The super cool Airstream can host between 12 – 15 people in comfort and luxury, and can be towed in just the same way as any other trailer or caravan. All in all a fabulous stylish space with endless possibilities, the perfect accessory for Goodwood? £14,000 - £18,000
