Admission H&H has the right at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason whatsoever, to refuse admission to any of its sales or indeed its premises to any person. The purchase of a catalogue does not constitute an entry ticket or guarantee entry. Bidder Registration To enable the Auctioneer to recognise bidders during the sale all intending buyers are required to complete a Bidder’s Registration Form. This will enable you to bid at the sale by means of a number allocated to you. All prospective bidders must complete the form giving full identification and appropriate references and produce identification, which will take the form of a current UK driving licence or passport. All Lots sold will be invoiced to the registered bidder. If you lose your catalogue or bidder’s number please notify reception immediately. References We reserve the right to request banker’s references from prospective purchasers and these should be supplied in time to allow them to be taken up prior to the sale. Failure to comply with this could result in the facility to bid being withdrawn. Currency Converter Solely for the convenience of bidders, a currency converter is provided at H&H sales. The rates quoted for conversion of other currencies to pounds sterling are indicative only and provided by our partner Currency Solutions. We will not be responsible for any errors, inaccuracies or omissions in the currency converter.

Racing Cars & Documentation Buyers are reminded that the presence of an old HVIF (FIA papers) or other documentation does not constitute a ‘promise’ on behalf of the MSA or other issuing authority that they will be re-issued on demand. A car’s application for a Historic Technical Passport will be subject to the prevailing regulation in Appendix K and can be reviewed, much the same way Veteran Cars can be re-dated, as new information comes to light. The Issuing Authority can refuse to issue new papers. Any prospective purchaser should check the position of the Lot prior to bidding.

AUCTION INFORMATION Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates When mention is made of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates in this catalogue it should be borne in mind that the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain does from time to time review cars already dated and, in some instances, where fresh evidence becomes available, alter the date. Whilst the Club makes every effort to ensure accuracy, the date shown on the Dating Plate or Dating Certificate cannot be guaranteed as correct and intending purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the date of the car. Export Licence / Dates Export licences may be required for any lot manufactured or produced 50 years or more prior to the date of export from the U.K. It is the responsibility of the buyer to obtain the licence and correct documentation prior to the exportation of the lot. Removal of Lots A representative of our preferred transport providers E.M. Rogers and Chas Mortimer will be present at the sale to assist with any transport requirements. All lots are held at the purchaser’s risk at the fall of the hammer and must be removed not later than 1pm on the day following the sale. Please note, if lot(s) are not removed by then the standard charges as stated in our Terms and Conditions will apply. Vehicle Identity and Competition History 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. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

The world long since ran out of new things to say about the Model T. Ford that was already progressing impressively before its launch in 1908, but it was that model that really set the company, and the world, on the move. The statistics are staggering: it was the first car to be mass produced and to be made in several countries simultaneously. Manufacture ran for 19 years, during which some 16.5 million examples were built. The restored T now on offer is a lefthand drive Tourer with hood that was imported into the UK in 2017 and is now fully registered with a V5C and the number 'BF 8265'. In echo of the famous Henry Ford quote, the car is finished in Black inside and out, and described by the vendor as 'a good solid example'. He presently classes its bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, four-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission as all being in 'very good order'.

In the Autumn of 1967, the MkII range - less the discontinued 3.8 - morphed into the interim 240 and 340 models intended to bridge the gap prior to the launch of the XJ6 in September 1968. The 240 continued as a budget model until April 1969; its price of £1364 being only £20 more expensive than the first 2.4 in 1956. Output was increased from 120 bhp at 5,750 rpm to 133 bhp at 5,500 rpm and torque was increased. There was a slight reshaping of the rear body and slimmer bumpers with over-riders were fitted. The economies of the new models included replacement of leather upholstery with Ambla and tufted carpet on the floor.

'BOF 421T' hails from 1979 and is rare in being one of just 385 V12 examples of the breed produced with manual transmission. It has remained within the current ownership since 1991, and since 2017 has been the subject of major restoration work on the floor pan, subframe, brakes, steering, suspension etc, the bills for which have totalled £17,700. The vendor now considers the bodywork, paintwork, V12 engine and manual transmission to all be in 'average' condition and the interior trim to be 'poor', and that therefore cosmetic work is required to return the Jaguar to its former glory. Featuring Black bodywork and upholstery, the car is now offered at No Reserve, complete with bills for the tasks already completed, plus older invoices and MOTs dating back to the 1980s. A potentially very rewarding challenge for the right Jaguar enthusiast, bearing in mind the increasing interest in these fine GT models.

Fiat's perennially pretty 850 Spider emanated from the prolific pen of Giorgetto Giugiaro, was built by Bertone and unveiled at the 1965 Geneva Salon. It was notable for the freeflowing elegance of its lines and the fact the hood could be completely hidden from view below a panel ahead of the rear-mounted engine. Early examples were powered by the same 843cc engine as the Saloon, but in 1968 the Spider's unit was enlarged to 903cc, now developing 52bhp which was sufficient for a combination of a 90mph top speed and frugal 40mpg. This version being known as the Sport.

ADDITIONAL LOT INFORMATION →

This RHD, manual overdrive example, finished in Old English White with Red interior, was originally supplied to Isle of Man. Sitting on chrome wire wheels, it is said to have benefited from a partial respray twelve years ago and to possess "very good" bodywork, engine, transmission and interior whilst the paintwork is said to be "good" overall. Offered with Swansea V5, Heritage Certificate and dating letter from Jaguar Cars, the odometer currently registers some 95,000 miles.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium of 12.5% (+ VAT)

This lovely restored Sport Spider was sold new in Italy and subsequently found its way to the UK in 1981. Upon arrival it was converted to righthand drive. The subject of a bare metal restoration some ten years ago, this beguiling little Fiat is finished in a very attractive shade of blue with black vinyl seats and black carpets. Offered with a large history folder, Swansea V5c and complete with hard top, JDS 816K is described by the vendor as being among the "best available by far".

Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run thanks to its handsome styling, balanced handling, sprightly performance and rasping exhaust note! Finished in desirable Primrose Yellow with Black upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in `very good overall' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim. Understood to have had just six former keepers, `UKR 200H' was treated to an extensive `nut and bolt' restoration between 2013 and 2015. Purchased by the seller from marque specialist Lower Barn Classics of Ipswich in July that year, the Roadster's history file includes a full list of the refurbishment work undertaken (with various supporting photos) and a favourable MG Owners' Club inspection report. Improved still further over the past four years, the B has benefited from the installation of a new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and chrome wire wheels shod with Michelin tyres plus numerous cosmetic enhancements (all documented). Submitted for voluntary MOT testing to preserve the vendor's peace of mind, the MG's current certificate runs until July 2019 and only noted a windscreen chip (not in the driver's view) and a steering column top bearing requiring adjustment.

A rare sight on British roads, Lancia’s Beta Spyder offers the unusual combination of 2+2 seating, Targa top and folding rear roof, all neatly enveloped in a chic Pininfarina-penned body. This tidy-looking example features Black bodywork teamed with its original Brown PVC upholstery. A genuine UK specification car, it was supplied new to Jack Rose (Surrey) Ltd and remained in the same ownership from 2004 to 2017. Last on the road in 2003, it displays a credible total mileage of just 23,864 and has benefited from the following recommissioning: new tyres, timing belt, fuel lines, distributor cap, rotor arm and plug leads; refurbished carburettor, wiper motor and wheels; fresh gearbox oil. ‘LGO 698V’ comes complete with: comprehensive history file of numerous old MOTs and invoices dating back to 1980; the original operators’ manual, service centre book, spare wheel and cover, tools, and hood cover. A perfect head turner for the upcoming summer weather.

While even Mercedes-Benz quality has faltered occasionally over the years, the durability of its third SL model, the R107 Series, has long since been beyond doubt. Its production run spanned 19 years, during which 237,287 SLs and 62,888 SLCs were manufactured; a very high percentage of which are still providing sterling service. The 300 SL replaced the 280 in 1985 and was powered by a SOHC 2962cc straight-six engine. The variant's lighter weight provided a handling advantage over its bulkier V8 siblings, and its output of 185bhp endowed the handsome Roadster with rapid acceleration and an adequate top speed of 130mph. This 1986 example is finished in an attractive shade of Blue with matching interior trim. It was the subject of an £11,371 restoration and repaint by the SL Shop in 2011. Just fitted with a new battery, it comes complete with hard and soft tops, plus a large collection of invoices / old MOTs.

This Lot could be a godsend for anybody restoring a TA – it primarily consists of an XPAG short engine, serial No.3192, that was removed from a running vehicle in 2016. The parts include: cylinder head assembly (2), rocker assembly (2), valve set and push rods, rockerbox cover, SU carburettor set, intake and exhaust manifolds, coolant pump and housing, exhaust downpipe, plus a propshaft assembly. These scarce items are being offered at No Reserve. The immortal XPAG unit was derived from the OHV engine of the Morris Ten Saloon, and became the beating heart of the MG TB and then the TC. It featured a cast iron block and cylinder head and counterbalanced crankshaft, and was fuelled by a pair of 1.25 inch SU carburettors, while its block-mounted camshaft was driven by a duplex roller chain. The powerplant’s standard output was 54.5bhp and 65 ft lb of torque, but it could be persuaded to release considerably more.

1953 MG TD 1 of just 1,656 home market cars

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £17500 - 19500*

Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rearmounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. The first MG sportscar to feature either independent double-wishbone front suspension or rack and pinion steering, the newcomer also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, hidden scuttle reinforcement hoop (save for the first few cars) and twin leading-shoe front brakes. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas. Finished in the handsome combination of Green with Green leather and Tan weather equipment (hood, sidescreens, full split tonneau), this particular example is rated by the vendor as being in `very good overall' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and electrical equipment. Dating from the last year of production, the MG is a rare 'home market' car (1 of just 1,656 made) that pleasingly retains its original and transferable registration number. The subject of an older restoration, the TD was treated to an engine overhaul in 2012 and is said to have `regularly covered a few hundred miles a year since the 1980s'. Simply charming, `3452 F' is accompanied by a green logbook, factory workshop manual, MOT certificate valid until June 2020, previous ownership records, various old MOTs dating back to 1988 and two boxes of useful spares.

This Daimler SP250 Dart is a very early, first-year production car, supplied new in November 1959 by famous Birmingham motor dealers Reeve & Stedeford. Marked by front corner chrome quarter flashes (or 'whiskers') in place of a bumper, recessed door handles and rear overriders, these early cars have a design purity that is somewhat lacking in later models. With chassis number 100578, this car is numerically the eighth right-hand drive example built, just two after the British Motor Show example (100576), potentially making

1959 DAIMLER SP250 DART Early example

it an historically significant car. Daimler's first foray into convertible two-seater sports cars, the SP250 Dart is a powerful beast. Combining a 2,548cc V8 with a lightweight fibreglass body and four Girling disc brakes gave a 0-60mph time of nine seconds and a top speed of 120mph, sparkling performance for the era. A generous boot and rear bench 'child' seat makes it a practical car with a great deal of luggage space, and the windows wind up (something lacking in many of its competitors).

Offered at No Reserve, this handsome and desirable early model R107 Series SL is finished in the eye-catching combination of Yellow bodywork matched to Brown MB-Tex interior trim and Brown hood. Its specification includes: righthand drive, automatic transmission, windup windows, rear seats, and alloy wheels. A sill plate confirms the supplying dealer to have been T H Bennett of Warton in Lancashire, while the displayed mileage of 82,930, though unwarranted, is certainly wholly credible. ‘EPY 453’ comes complete with an excellent history file containing an operator’s manual and service and dealer books, plus MOT certificates dating back to 1990, as well as a current one valid into June 2020. The 350 SL was available from 1971 to 1980. It produced some 200bhp at 5,800rpm and 211 lb ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, which was sufficient output to endow the model with swift, effortless acceleration and a top speed of a whisker over 130mph.

When Bentley released the successor to the Mulsanne in 1992, they named it after Brooklands, the scene of so many pre-war successes for the marque. Using the same chassis and 6,750cc Rolls-Royce V8 engine as the Turbo R, the car offered both the performance and quality expected of a Bentley saloon. With 300bhp on tap, the car has a top speed of 140mph and reaches 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds. This 1993 right-hand drive example of the Brooklands is resplendent in special order White coachwork with tasteful Cream leather interior highlighted with contrasting piping on its electric-memory seats. The car has five previous owners, comes complete with the original book pack, well-stamped service book (including last service by Ghost motors of Kent), and shows 77,500 miles on the odometer. Described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition throughout, those looking for a well-presented luxury saloon possibly with potential for wedding hire use should take note.

According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, 'TRF 378L' departed the Abingdon production line in August 1972. Finished in Mallard Green teamed with Mustard-coloured interior trim, it has remained in the same ownership since 1993 and was restored around a new Heritage bodyshell in 2004, the work on which was carried out by Beer's of Houghton. The MG now displays an unwarranted 50,969 miles and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' paintwork, 'very good' bodywork, engine and four-speed manual transmission, and 'good' interior trim. With the MKIII Midget of 1966, came an increase in engine capacity from 1,098cc to 1,275cc and an improved hood system. A minor facelift in 1969 saw a move to black sills and a black recessed grille. A total of 100,246 MKIII models were manufactured between 1966 and 1974 and many enthusiasts of the marque consider the chrome-bumpered round-arch examples of 1972-1974 to be the most desirable of all the Midgets.

Penned by the celebrated French designer Paul Bracq, the Coupe version of the Mercedes W114 was unveiled in 1969. Of pillarless construction, it featured windows that could be fully lowered for optimum open air motoring and a notably longer bootlid than the related Saloon. There was the choice of 2.5 (250) or 2.8-litre (280) straight-six engines coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission. Just 67,048 such Coupes were produced prior to the cessation of production in 1976, 42,379 of which had the smaller engine. The car on offer is a relatively rare righthand drive 250 CE version that vacated the Stuttgart production line in 1971 and was first registered on November 16 of that year. It is finished in the pleasing combination of Brown over Beige and remains trimmed in its original Brown MB-Tex. Smartly presented, the Benz displays an unwarranted by wholly credible 46,000 miles and comes complete with an MOT valid into June 2020.

This lovely-looking 420G was treated to a full restoration by the previous owner, a retired coach-builder, as recently as 2017 - the work included the fitting of a pair of new fuel tanks and was completed by a bare metal respray. The Jaguar is now resplendent in Black over Silver bodywork that's complemented by the car's original Red leather interior. Manufactured in 1968, 'AXF 830F' came equipped with automatic transmission and the then rare option of electric windows. The vendor informs us that it is now 'an absolute delight to drive, requires no further work and is ready to travel or show anywhere'. He has graded the bodywork as 'excellent' and the paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and transmission as all being in 'very good' order, but admits he only marked the latter items down to allow for the age of the vehicle. The big cat is now offered complete with handbook, parts manual, history file, tool kit and radio.

For the buyer seeking a practical and stylish British convertible, the Triumph Stag has a great deal going for it. A Michelotti-designed body, four seats and a 145bhp 2997cc V8 under the bonnet make a very persuasive combination, especially when combined with the desirable manual gearbox.

Prior to the launch of the fully convertible XJ-S of 1986, Jaguar had offered a two-seat Targa-topped model dubbed the XJ-SC. The cabriolet is the rarest of the XJS range and widely tipped to be a collector's piece with values now starting to rise. According to the XJ-S/XJS register of the 115,413 Jaguar XJS built over 20 years in total only 5013 of them were the XJ-SC configuration and only 950 were RHD V12 5.3 XJ-SC. DVLC figure show in Q4 2018 just 28 of these were licenced with another 76 SORN, of which 'E117 FUR' is one, making it a rare breed of cat by any yardstick. Added to this, it has the very rare and now virtually impossible to obtain factory fitted rear hard top. It has remained within the current ownership since 2015, during which it has been treated to a new headlining (2017), fresh (Aston Martin) front suspension springs and 15-inch 5-spoke wheels with new tyres (2018), and replacement battery (2019). The vendor has retained the car for summer use only, dry storing it in winter with a high-quality dust cover (supplied) and restricting the mileage to c.500 per annum. He currently considers the Cream leather interior trim, 5.3-litre V12 engine and automatic transmission to be in 'very good' order, while classing the bodywork and Blue paintwork as 'good' for its 30 years age. The car comes complete with a full MOT and service history and lots of paperwork that verifies the indicated mileage of 56,350 and its maintenance by Jaguar dealers or marque specialists from new.

Introduced in 1924, the 11/22 was a revised, more powerful version of its 10hp predecessor utilising the same sophisticated 1260cc four-cylinder overhead camshaft engine and three-speed transaxle. Beautifully made but more expensive than most Light Car rivals, the model remained in production until 1928 by which time William Morris had paid £730,000 to acquire Wolseley and gifted its advanced, WW1 aeroengine derived OHC engine technology to the nascent MG marque.

This is one such car. Described by the vendor as 'a truly exceptional example' the car shows just 35,000 miles, a figure that, whilst not guaranteed, is supported by its un-welded condition and numerous MOTs and invoices back to 1993. The body and paint finish are described as being to 'show and club standard' and the brightwork and chrome have recently been restored.

1959 MG A TWINCAM ROADSTER

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £15000 - 20000*

Keen to extract more power from the 1500cc B-Series engine and to create a competition model, BMC began evolving a DOHC version of the unit in 1954. Development was slow and it was not until 1958 that the Twin-Cam MGA came to market. Chain-driven camshafts nestling atop a cross-flow alloy cylinder head augured well, and the 1588cc, 108bhp newcomer was capable of 0-60mph in 9 seconds with a top speed of 115mph. However, the tardiness of its introduction, early engine maladies and fierce competition from rivals saw manufacture curtailed after just two years; by which time only 2,111 examples had been produced, 1,801 of which were Roadsters. YD1/2194 left the factory in June 1959 being registered that November. *Originally fitted with engine number RJ8682, the twin-cam unit was removed around 2000 and a replacement Gold Seal 1800cc MGB unit with unleaded head mated to an overdrive MGB gearbox fitted. Finished in Chariot Red as originally, it features competition De Luxe seats and rides on wire wheels. During the vendor's nine-year ownership, the car has been maintained by Brown & Gammons and used regularly on tours and rallies throughout the UK. When purchased, it was driven from Bodmin to Baldock non-stop by the previous owner, a fitting testament to its reliability. A stainless-steel exhaust was fitted in 2010 and Brown & Gammons replaced the hood and carpets in 2013. Recent attention to the brakes means the car stops well. The vendor advises that, as an older (1984) but good quality restoration, the car remains "good" although there are areas of paintwork that could benefit from improvement. A small tear in one of the black leather seats where the hood folds away is also noted. He further advises the car passes its MOT with Brown & Gammons each year with any jobs that need doing being attended to. The current MOT expires in October and when not in use it is stored in a garage beneath a fitted cover. A desirable MGA that would warrant re-installation of a twincam unit.

1994 MG R V8 1 of just 258 Oxford Blue examples

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £19000 - 22000*

Launched at the 1992 Birmingham Motor Show, the RV8 signalled MG's return to the open sports car market. Just as the Cobra grew out of the less muscular AC Ace, so the RV8 evolved from the immortal MGB Roadster (hence the car's 'Project Adder' development code). Built around a thoroughly re-engineered and neatly restyled version of its predecessor's monocoque bodyshell, it was powered by a 3948cc V8 engine that developed some 190bhp and 318Nm of torque. Said to be capable of 135mph and 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds, the adoption of telescopic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars all round brought a notable improvement in handling. Trimmed to a high standard, its inviting interior boasted leather upholstery and rich wood veneers. Supplied new to Japan and thus benefiting from airconditioning, this rare Oxford Blue example - 1 of just 258 made - was subsequently acquired by an expat living in Hong Kong who later brought it back with him to the UK. Pleasingly retaining its original owner's wallet, service and handbooks etc, the two-seater is believed to have covered around 36,000 miles from new. Purchased by the vendor from the proprietor of a very well-known MG parts supplier whose son-in-law owned it, the RV8 had effectively been dry stored since 2011. The subject of much recent recommissioning work, `L377 LPY' boasts a new fuel tank, sender and gauge, replacement CAT, fresh tyres all round, new fan shroud, new door cappings and overmats etc. Described by the seller as being in `very good' (paintwork, interior trim) or `excellent' (bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, gearbox) condition, this desirably hued MG is offered for sale with RV8 Workshop Notes DVD, Rover RV8 Technical Reveal Video, scarce original RV8 keyfob, Japan / Hong Kong registration details, partially complete tool roll, hood cover / bag, spare door mirror / indicator lights and MOT certificate current until October 2019.

CHASSIS DBSV8/10604/RCA The William Towns-penned DBS was intended as a direct replacement for the ageing DB6 and to be V8-powered from birth. However, Tadek Marek's now much vaunted engine took longer to complete than expected, so the newcomer was unveiled in 1967 with the straight-six unit of the DB6, with what became known as the DBS V8 finally appearing in 1970. In this form, it could rush to 60mph in as little as 5.9 seconds and on to c.160mph, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world at that time.

This interesting and rare right-hand drive DBS V8 - 1 of just 402 made - vacated the Newport Pagnell production line on November 3rd 1972. Twelve days later it left the UK bound for the Japanese dealer Eastern Motors Company Ltd. A matching numbers example, it has recently returned to these shores following many years in storage, and is now offered as in need of restoration and finished in Green teamed with an Off-White leather interior. Alternatively, according to the vendor, only a degree of recommissioning would be required to make the car sufficiently roadworthy to be treated as a rolling restoration. A provisional inspection suggests that only minor repairs will be needed to the steel frame, and that the alloy doors, boot and bonnet only require the removal of a

few superficial dents - the body could then be resprayed in its original or a fresh colour. The carpets will need replacing but the leather upholstery appears totally revivable, which would endow the Aston with a lovely degree of patina. Taking everything into account, the vendor presently grades the bodywork and V8 engine as 'average' and the paintwork and interior trim as 'poor'. The automatic transmission has not been tested, but the engine apparently runs smoothly, revs freely and shows good oil pressure. An exciting and decidedly worthwhile project.

The Citroën Traction Avant was remarkably advanced for its time, combining a monocoque body with torsion bar suspension. This four-door saloon was built at the Paris plant in 1954 and fitted with the 1.9L engine. Finished in dark grey metallic paintwork which the vendor describes as 'very presentable', he states there is an absence of rust, excellent door fit and no evidence of corrosion or accident damage.

The timing of the T was perfect. It came to market just as motorcars were gaining in interest and acceptance, and sold for less than a wagon and team of horses. It mobilised people the world over and for the first 16 years accounted for no less than 40 percent of all US car sales - small wonder that it was voted 'The World's Most Influential Car Of The 20th Century'. At launch the T was powered by a side-valve 2.9-litre four-cylinder engine producing some 20hp, and was among the first to have its cylinders cast all in one block. The lefthand drive restored truck being sold is finished in Green and Black that's teamed with Black interior trim. The vehicle is fully UK registered and described by the vendor as being 'a very solid, clean example that drives perfectly', and he currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, engine and transmission as all being 'very good'.

This delightful left-hand drive truck was imported to the UK from Florida in 2015 and has clearly been the subject of a major restoration and customisation programme. It is equipped with coil over suspension at the front, plus power steering and brakes - the brakes and rear axle were all sourced from a `74 Chevrolet Nova. The 327ci (5.36-litre) small block Chevy V8 engine was reconditioned c.8,000 miles ago and is said to give good oil pressure. It is equipped with Edelbrock manifold and 4-barrel carburettor, plus electronic ignition. The pickup's specification nowadays includes electric Chrysler 300 seats, electric windows, air conditioning, electric wipers, rear mounted fuel tank and battery, and a removable tow bar. The eye-catching ensemble rides on Corvette slotted mag wheels and is finished in a deep shade of Red complemented by Black interior trim. Chevrolet's 3100 model was a member of its so-called Advance-Design series that ran from 1947 to 1955.

The Dodge was hugely popular following its introduction in 1914. Production in the 1920's was prodigious thanks to excellent reliability coupled with toughness and straight forward engineering. It's little surprise that buyers in remote areas such as Australia recognised the benefits of such a product.

Mechanically, the vendor reports the car is in great condition, starts on the button, idles well and is free of smoke. Peacock CV drives and electronic ignition have been fitted as sensible and subtle modern upgrades. The factory interior has wonderful patina and combines originality with the story of a car well-loved over time. Imported to the UK in 1993 with a good service history including recent full service, inspection and brake and gearbox overhaul, the car presents very well as a very original and un-modified car.

This example finished in Burgundy / Black wings with Brown interior was originally resident in Australia before coming to the UK in June 2000. The car then sat around before being acquired by the vendor and correctly registered in 2008. Described by him as being in "good overall condition for its age having developed a fantastic period patina", BF 4827 has been used sparingly in his ownership and always kept in a heated garage. New tyres were fitted and a video of the car running is viewable on YouTube at: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=ZVXKRrV6_Ic Offered with Swansea V5c and currently on SORN, she is said to have "average" bodywork and paintwork with "good" engine, transmission and interior trim. Also present is a set of reproduction Dodge owners/workshop manuals, original importation documents and original Australian number plate 'VIC 3.660'. Weather gear accompanies the car and it is only being offered for sale to make space for another project.

1965 FORD CORTINA 1500 GT

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £20000 - 25000*

With Cortinas a rare sight these days, it's hard to believe that the model was by far the Britain's best-selling car throughout the 1970s - available in two and four-door Saloon or Estate versions. Five generations were produced between 1962 and 1982, each of which notched up over a million sales. At introduction the car was powered by an 1193cc threebearing version of the four-cylinder, OHV 'Kent' engine, though the option of a five-bearing 1500cc unit followed within months. Initially the mechanical specification echoed that of the Anglia with four-speed manual gearbox, drum brakes all-round, MacPherson strut front suspension, live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear, and recirculating ball steering. The GT was a halfway house between the standard 1500cc models and the twin-cam engined Cortina Lotus. Something of a wolf in sheep's clothing, its tuned engine complete with twin-choke Weber carburettor gave about 30 percent more power. It also sported lower, stiffer suspension and disc brakes in place of drums at the front. Though the Lotus became one of Ford's all-time great competition cars, the GT was no mean performer and examples notched up memorable wins on the track and in the forest. As verified by the Cortina MKI club, the very tidy-looking two-door 1500 GT now offered was built in Rhodesia in 1965 and resided for most of its time in South Africa before being imported to the UK recently by the vendor. Finished in White matched to a Black vinyl interior, 'HVK 939C' looks remarkably original aside of its attractive Minilite-style road wheels, period door mirrors, woodrim steering wheel and chrome rocker cover. The vendor presently grades the fast Ford's bodywork as 'excellent' and its paintwork, upholstery, 'Kent' engine and manual gearbox as 'very good'. A nice and increasingly rare opportunity for Cortina aficionados everywhere.

Though the newcomer was a logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK a distinctly more modern air. The split windscreen was replaced with a single sweep of toughened glass and the scuttle height was raised, along with the waistline. The bonnet was widened and the bulkhead on the Roadster was moved rearwards by 4inches. Inside, the walnut dashboard of the XK140 was replaced by one trimmed in leather. Thinner doors gave more interior space.

The renaissance of the Bentley brand started with the Mulsanne of 1980. It was named after the famous straight at Le Mans - the scene of five classic Bentley victories in the vintage years. In 1992, the Mulsanne (and Bentley Eight) were replaced by the Brooklands that, continuing the motorsport theme, took its title from the awesome banked British circuit that also saw many a Bentley triumph prior to WWII. The newcomer was intended as a more affordable alternative to the mighty Turbo R, and featured basically the same overall styling, sporting underpinnings and well-proven 6.75-litre V8 engine; the obvious difference being that it was initially normally aspirated.

909 MRR

CHASSIS GHD2107231 Good MG As have been keenly sought for many years, so bidders should take special note of this one, as it’s clearly not only in very fine order but one of the rarest of the breed - ie a 1600 MKII De Luxe Coupe of which only 23 were built and just 13 of those were created with right-hand drive for the home market. The De Luxes differ from the standard fare in having Dunlop disc brakes all round and Dunlop wheels, as well as other such Twin Cam-esque niceties as separate

brake and clutch master cylinders – in essence they are MG A Twin Cams powered by pushrod engines and rarely come to market. ‘909 MRR’ departed the Abingdon production line in February 1962 and was first registered in Nottinghamshire in or after March that year, and remains in its original livery of Charlot Red bodywork and Red leather interior trim. Restored in 2016-2017, it is these days considered by the vendor to have ‘excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, engine and transmission and comes complete with Heritage Certificate. A rare and exciting opportunity for classic MG aficionados everywhere.

To quote the company’s own advertising, the MG A was the ‘first of a new line’. Launched at the Frankfurt Motorshow of 1955, it owed its modern streamlined design to the body Syd Enever had created for George Philips’ 1951 TD Le Mans car, and featured a chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and power from a 1489cc version of the straight-four BMC B Series engine, as found in the MG Magnette. In 1959 the capacity was increased to 1588cc and to 1622cc for the MKII 1600 version of 1961, which also boasted bigger valves and re-engineered combustion chambers. A total of 101,081 MG As were sold between 1955 and 1962, most of which were exported.

replacements for derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne (Bentley) and Silver Spirit (Rolls-Royce). The bodies for the new cars were built at the Bentley factory in Crewe, while the engines were outsourced. Initially available as a single model, the Arnage was powered by a DOHC 4.4-litre BMW engine force fed by twin turbochargers. However, it was around this time that Bentley passed into the hands of the Volkswagen Group and Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW. Not surprisingly, BMW declined to see a rival marque powered by one of its engines, so Volkswagen was forced to find an alternative powerplant for the Arnage. In fact the company sourced two and created the option of the Arnage Red Label and Arnage Green Label. The Red Label was initially powered by a Cosworth-built version of the Bentley's stalwart single-turbo OHV 6.75-litre V8, while the shortlived Green Label utilised a Bentley-modified version of the Arnage's original BMW unit. The Red label gave way to the Arnage R in 2002. In common with the long wheelbase RL launched the previous year, it was powered by a completely reworked version of Bentley's venerable 6.75-litre V8 engine. Courtesy of Bosch Motronic engine management and a pair of Garrett T3 turbochargers it produced 399bhp and a whopping 616 lb ft of torque.

M674AJN

CHASSIS ZFFSD44C000100925 Introduced in 1992, the 456 was not only Ferrari’s most powerful road car since the rabid, twin-turbocharged F40 but also the world’s fastest production four-seater. Displacing 456cc each, its twelve cylinders were arranged in a 60-degree Vee and between them produced 436bhp / 406lbft of torque. Fitted with a choice of six-speed manual or (from 1996) four-speed automatic transmission, road testers found the ‘stick shift’ cars capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 192mph. The UK received just 141 RHD manual 456 GTs.

Purchased by previous keeper John Spooner from Legends Racing of Cheltenham in 2004, ‘M674 AJN’ had been advertised thus: ‘Le Mans Blue with Tan Trim. This car is stunning with CD player, Electric Seats, Climate Control, ABS, Power Steering, 34,000 miles with FFSH and recent cambelt service’. Entering the current ownership two years later, again via Legends who had maintained it in between times, the Ferrari has since been treated to the following works. 2006: two new rear shock absorbers, window frames modified, self-levelling fluid changed, replacement CAT control units (Keys Motorsport Silverstone Ltd, £2,696.64). 2008: Annual Service (Keys, £934.13). 2009: Cambelt Service (Keys, £1,885.34). 2010: Annual Service and Geometry Set-Up (Keys, £1,054.63). 2011: Annual Service (Keys, £1,219). 2012: Cambelt Service, new Control Box,

With a Michelotti-designed body and 2138cc inline four-cylinder engine, the TR4 was a step forward in many ways from earlier Triumph models when it was launched in 1961. This 1963 UK right-hand drive example has red paintwork with black interior, both described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition. The subject of a previous photographicallyrecorded restoration and a mechanical overhaul in 2012, the car comes complete with a history file containing many old invoices and MOTs and an owner's handbook. The four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive is described as being in 'very good' condition, and the car is fitted with wire wheels and new tyres. The interior, also recorded as being in 'very good' condition presents well, and there are just over 69,000 miles showing on the odometer. This restored example of a great British sports car in a strong colour deserves a close look.

It was in 1981 that the venerable 3-litre Essex-engined variants of the Capri were dropped in favour of the 2.8 Injection model - a single car range powered by the lusty fuel-injected 2.8-litre Cologne V6. Output rose to 160bhp and, soon after launch, the old four-speed gearbox was replaced with a more contemporary five-speed one. Ford's stylish four-seater Coupe now had performance capable of shaming rivals costing four times the money. The home market Injection Capri now offered is a 1983 specimen that's both finished and trimmed in Grey. It has been the self-evident subject of a restoration and respray. The wheels have also benefited from restoration and being shod with a fresh set of tyres. 'A311 JCE' is now regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission. The Ford currently displays an unwarranted but credible total of 96,200 miles and comes complete with an MOT into March 2020.

On its introduction in 1983 the Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 coupe was similar to the XJS HE it replaced, but with refinements that brought the model bang up to date. Its 3,590cc straight-six AJ6 engine with digital fuel injection produced 225bhp, and the driver now benefitted from A/C, power steering, central locking and LSD as standard. The result was a confident sporting coupe that maintained Jaguar's reputation for building powerful and stylish cars.

By the end of the 1920s, Packard had arguably become the last word in American automotive fashion outselling rival Cadillac by three to one. Responsible for lifting Packard out of the post-WW1 depression, the 'Six' range was current between 1921 and 1928. Engineered to the same exacting standards as its larger brethren, the newcomer was based around a beautifully wrought ladder-frame chassis equipped with leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 4-Litre (later 4.7-Litre) straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the 'Six' could be had with a range of elegant factory coachwork. Though, with the plentiful power and torque on tap from its famously durable L-head powerplant, it also boasted a surprising turn of speed.

In 1987, the model was updated. A bolder twin coachline, sports seats and updated alloys were added, and an optional four-speed automatic offered, as specified on this 1987 example in maroon with tan leather interior and a new walnut dash. Complete with new MOT and Heritage Certificate, the history shows a comprehensive restoration in 2015 since when it has covered just 768 miles. Now presenting in very good condition, well-maintained examples of this increasingly popular classic are rare.

An older restoration that has been in the current family ownership since 1989, ‘DS 8058’ is described by the vendor as being in ‘good’ (engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment) or ‘very good’ (interior trim) condition. Luxuriously appointed, the cabin features Red leather upholstery up front and Red velour cloth to the rear plus a sixperson drinks cabinet. Said to be in ‘good running order’, this handsome right-hand drive Packard Six cuts a considerable dash for a ninety-six year old!

1965 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA SPRINT SPECIALE Current family ownership since 1972

ESTIMATE £30000 - 40000*

This fabulous car has recently emerged from its long-term

storage. It appears to be totally original and unmodified and retains its original engine and interior. Current family ownership since 1972 and was put into storage in 1987 due to a bereavement and not a mechanical issue and has remained unused since. Upon inspection we found a coating of wax treatment on the underside and in the boot floor which maybe explains the apparent lack of corrosion underside or on the body. Excellent history file with tax discs from 1972 until 1987. Still wearing the dealer sticker from where it was purchased in 1972 Surely a unique opportunity to obtain an original car that obviously will require an amount of recommissioning for a return to the road. Unveiled as a prototype at the 1957 Turin Salon, the Bertone-penned Giuletta Sprint Speciale entered production two years later. Homologated for competition after 101 'low nose' cars had been made, the Sprint Speciale boasted a drag coefficient of 0.28 and evolved through Tipo 101.20 and Tipo 101.21 guises. Introduced at the 1963 Geneva Salon, the latter utilised more modern Giulia mechanicals and thus boasted a 1.6 litre engine, five-speed manual gearbox and front disc brakes. Only 1,366 Giuletta SS and 1,400 Giulia SS cars were built. The bigger engine 1.6 L Giulia series replaced the Giulietta and was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Motor Show. As Giulietta is the diminutive for Giulia in Italian, the new Giulia name was a wordplay hinting that the new car was a grown-up version of the Giulietta. In spite of a Giulia SS prototype, Alfa Romeo decided to retain the Giulietta-shaped SS in production. The 1,570cc engine made up to 200 km/h (120 mph) possible. The 1,570cc engine with Weber 40 DCOE2 carburetors was taken from Giulia Sprint Veloce and delivered 112 hp (84 kW) of power. Most Giulia SS had disc brakes at front wheels. An easy way to distinguish the Giulia SS from the Giulietta

SS is by the dashboard. The Giulia has a leather underside with the glovebox at a different angle than the main fascia. The dashboard in the Giulietta is sloping and painted in one colour without a leather underside. Side badges carried "Giulia SS" scripts. Production ended in 1965, with a last single Sprint Speciale completed in 1966.

This splendid item of period Americana is liveried in Silver over Blue, trimmed in Blue cloth, and rides on Whitewall tyres. Equipped with right-hand drive, it is powered by a straighteight engine of 5.2-litres that drives through a manual three-speed gearbox. It has spent most of its life with the other 1930s Packard in this sale, initially serving as Embassy cars in London from 1937 to 1939, at which point they were requisitioned by MI5 for the war effort, during which they reputedly served at Bletchley Park. They more recently appeared on TV and in films, the most notable being `The Mummy Returns', in which they had starring roles. They have since served as matched wedding cars. Ongoing maintenance has included renovation of the engines and rewiring. With hydraulic brakes, geared steering, independent suspension and synchromesh gearboxes, they are said to be easy to drive. `KPP 753' comes complete with invoices, tax discs, old MOTs and is photographed in the "Great Marques of America" book by Jonathan Wood.

`DXT 977' is a handsome Limousine that boasts attractive Silver over Blue bodywork complemented by Cream cloth upholstery for the passenger compartment and Black leather within the chauffeur's domain.

Rare is the opportunity to buy a twenty-four-year-old car that is, to all intents and purposes, new. This red 1995 Peugeot 306 Cabriolet with grey interior is one such find, kept unregistered as part of a private collection and showing an astonishing sixty-three miles on the odometer.

'WRF 956G' has recently been treated to a full respray in Blue that contrasts perfectly with the original Red leather interior trim. The righthand drive home market GT currently displays a credible 67,700 miles from new. Its original specification includes the desirable overdrive gearbox, and the car has just been equipped with a pair of new batteries. It is now being offered complete with Moto-Lita steering wheel and an MOT into June of next year. The MGC was introduced in the autumn of 1967 and was powered by a 2,912cc OHV straightsix engine allied to either a four-speed manual gearbox plus overdrive, or three-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with new torsion-bar independent front suspension, telescopic dampers and lower geared rack and pinion steering, it was visually distinguished from its MG B sibling by a 'power bulge' bonnet and taller 15-inch wheels. Production ceased in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs had been made.

The Pininfarina-designed Peugeot 306 was introduced in 1993 as a 3- and 5-door hatchback replacement for its very successful 205 model. In May 1994, the 306 Cabriolet was added to the range, initially fitted with a 123bhp 2-litre engine. The response from the motoring press was very positive, and the car went on to be a very popular and stylish convertible. Recorded by the vendor as being in 'excellent/as new' condition throughout, this car surely has significant potential as a concours entrant or as part of a private or public collection; this is an opportunity that surely will not present itself again.

1956 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD EMPRESS BY HOOPER 1 of just 20

ESTIMATE £35000 - 45000*

'820 YUR' is one of just 20 coach-built Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud's fashioned in aluminium to Hooper's eye-catching design number 8425. It had apparently spent most of life in the sunny climes of southern California before being repatriated c.eight years ago and joining a selection of other Rolls-Royces as part of a private UK collection. It was evidently repainted around the time of its return and is now resplendent in Champagne over Silver Sand, colours that suit its distinctive form well and are complemented by the equally smart Beige hide interior trim, the front cushions of which have been refurbished. When new, such cars cost almost double that of their Standard Steel counterparts and were unashamedly the epitome of indulgence and opulence. The rear doors hinged from the back facilitating the entry and exit of back seat passengers, who also had the facility of large walnut picnic tables. The boot is suitably capacious with room for a large quantity of luggage, as would frequently have been carried by a typical owner of the time. Currently displaying a totally credible 85,000 miles, the Rolls-Royce has recently benefitted from the fitment of a new exhaust system, and is presented in seemingly very fine order throughout - the vendor informs us that 'the car drives well and the changes of the automatic gearbox are a seamless affair. The under-bonnet area is in very original and tidy condition and would serve the car well if exhibited at a show'. A rare opportunity. Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud I was based on a completely new closed box section frame, reputedly 50 percent stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke bodies, ultimately all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering.

With originality as the motivator, he retained as many of the original components as possible. The shell was stripped back to bare metal and any repairs undertaken using new Heritage panels as required. The underside was primed and stone-chipped before being finished in the same

shade of vibrant Vermillion Red as the rest of the body. The engine and transmission were treated to new oil seals and a recommission service.

1973 JAGUAR E-TYPE V12 ROADSTER

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £75000 - 85000*

A common saying in the car industry is that the first iteration of a model belongs to the designer, but the last belongs to the engineer. Thus it was when the Series III Jaguar E-Type V-12 was introduced in March 1971. With its 5,343cc overhead camshaft V-12 engine generating prodigious torque, a lengthened body with extended arches allowing a wider track and a sumptuous and practical interior, this was a very competent luxury tourer. A limited-slip differential and servo-assisted disc brakes supported a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds, the fastest of any E-Type, and top speed of 146mph was possible through the four-speed manual gearbox. As Denis Jenkinson wrote in a period article for Motor Sport: "Once out on the open road you soon become aware that this is no ordinary 'E'-type for the rev-counter will go round to 6,000 r.p.m. and more with no fuss whatsoever. now and then there would be occasion to pull out and squirt past some traffic and [it] really did come into its own. The V12 did not need anything like the time and space I was subconsciously allowing for overtaking, which made me realise how rapidly it was accelerating, making it an even safer and more long-legged car than the old six-cylinder." This car is one of just 1,872 right-hand drive examples of the E-Type V-12 roadster. It has matching chassis and engine numbers, a desirable manual gearbox and a history file including an extensive photographic record detailing a restoration since 2017 that the owner informs us cost over £49,000. The car now sports fresh blue paintwork and a new contrasting red interior. First registered in August 1973, the car has had five owners including the vendor who purchased in in 2017 from marque specialists Classic Motor Company (CMC) of Bridgnorth. The car came with CMC's comprehensive assessment detailing 90 points of recommended improvement but confirming that the engine compression was strong and that there was no sign of rust in the vehicle. After purchase, the decision was made to carry

out an extensive restoration to address the points raised by CMC and subsequently it was decided to take the car back to bare metal and refinish in the correct period Jaguar colour of Opalescent Dark Blue. Over 250 photos and tens of thousands of pounds worth of invoices detail that restoration, during which no rust was found but an historic sill repair replaced, panels realigned and sound-deadening replaced. A new windscreen was fitted, as was a new interior in red including seats, seat pads, door cards, carpets and seat belts. A period radio with MP3 connectivity was added, as was a hard-wired trickle battery charger. The bodywork, paint and interior are now described by the vendor as 'excellent'. Mechanically, bills show that the car was comprehensively overhauled, with a bottom-end rebuild, new belts, refurbished carburettors, gearbox selector shafts adjusted and gearbox/ engine oil seal replaced. A stainless exhaust and new brake and clutch master cylinders were fitted, and suspension components overhauled both front and

rear. Indeed, the vendor states that all mechanical and electrical components were inspected, repaired or replaced, and describes their condition as 'very good'. At the end of the restoration, the car passed an MOT inspection (valid until 28th June 2019) with no advisories, and comes complete with V5, Heritage Certificate and substantial history file. The clutch was renewed earlier this year. Series III E-Types, especially V-12 Roadsters, have become increasingly collectable in recent years. Benefitting from a very extensive and carefully documented restoration, this home market car presents in excellent condition both inside and out and is likely to attract a great deal of interest.

The enticingly registered 'GTB 345' was supplied new by H R Owen Ltd of London in 1981 and is one of just 42

Ferrari considered mid-engined technology when replacing the 275 GTB, but was concerned how customers might cope with the related handling of so large and powerful a car. The ensuing Dino therefore represented their first foray into the mid-engined road car market, a line then successfully followed with the 308, 328 and 348 etc. The 308 GTB was therefore Ferrari's replacement for the venerable 246 GT, and made its debut at the 1975 Paris Salon. Its shapely contours were the work of Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, who had already penned such eternal classics as the Daytona, Dino and Berlinetta Boxer. In 1980, the carburetted engine was replaced by a Bosch fuel-injected version in the name of reduced emissions. The 308 was replaced by the 328 in 1985 and, immortalised by the TV series Magnum PI, the model has matured into a collectors' favourite.

RHV506R

CHASSIS 9117610201 The now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche’s eldest son, Ferdinand ‘Butzi’ Porsche and the company’s joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. The car featured rack and pinion steering and both torsion bar suspension and disc brakes all-round, and was initially powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat six engine. In 1968, the wheelbase was increased by 57mm, the rear overhang reduced by the same amount, and some 22lb

saved from the (overhung) engine crankcase. These changes greatly improved the car’s handling. Early on the engine capacity had been increased to 2.2 litres, and during 1971 it rose to 2.4 litres and in 1973 to 2.7-litres, while 1976 was notable for the first of the 3.0-litre-powered cars. The Targa top option for the 911 was introduced in 1967 and was an immediate success. Initially it featured a folding rear window but fairly soon acquired a fixed rear screen. This smartly-presented, matching numbers 3.0-litre Carrera is finished in the perennially stylish combination of Silver bodywork matched to a Black leather interior, and is one of only 646 Targas produced during the 1977 model year.

ESTIMATE £45000 - 55000*

The many fans of the four-cylinder Big Healeys will quickly appreciate that 'XPP 958' is no run-of-the-mill BN1, but a carefully restored and uprated example that's now waiting to delight a new keeper. The vendor acquired the car in 2012, by when it had been completely refurbished by the previous owner before being dry stored for 10 years. It was exactly what the vendor had been seeking - a solid home market, matching numbers car that he could convert to Le Mans specification, a task that was then completed over a three year period. The engine was treated to higher compression pistons, a Piper fast road camshaft, pair of 1¾ inch SUs, electronic ignition, Purolator oil filter and hi-torque starter motor. The original gearbox was replaced with a reconditioned four-speed overdrive unit; Healey 3000 specification disc brakes fitted to the front, along with a high performance anti-roll bar; all bushes and bearings replaced; and heavy duty dampers and a new exhaust system installed. The wire wheels were refurbished and shod with Michelin tyres, as per the Works cars of the day. The bumpers were removed and a new louvered bonnet created and installed complete with evocative leather strap. A pair of Lucas period lamps were affixed to the front, and the hood, hood frame and tonneau renewed. The original steering wheel was supplanted by a wood-rim example. This exciting car is finished in White teamed with a contrasting Black leather interior. It is now offered complete with its original registration number, an excellent history file dating back to the '70s, photo album of the body restoration and original side screens, plus the vast majority of the parts removed during the conversion to Le Mans specification. A total of 10,030 BN1s were produced between May 1953 and 1955, when the model was superseded by the BN2.

CHASSIS G6293 Between 1933 and 1938 triumph produced a large, if somewhat confusing, range of excellent sporting Saloons, Coupes and Tourers under the Gloria moniker. All but the final iterations were powered by engines of four or sixcylinders, that were of overhead inlet / side exhaust valve configuration designed by Coventry Climax and modified and manufactured by Triumph. They drove through a manual four-speed gearbox supplied by ENV. The model was developed by new recruit Donald Healey, and did more than

1934 TRIUMPH GLORIA SIX SPEED MODEL TOURER

any other to establish Triumph as the producer of quality sporting motorcars. The adopted name of Gloria is rumoured to have been that of a Selfridge’s fashion model who featured in some early publicity shots of the mark. This particular Triumph is an exceedingly handsome Gloria Six Speed Model Tourer. First registered on April 5, 1934 it is equipped with the 12.9hp 1476cc six-cylinder engine, and is not only one of just seven produced in this specification, but one of two survivors known to the Pre-1940 Triumph Motor Club. It was retained by the previous keeper for 34 years, and benefited from a nut and bolt restoration as little as 120 miles ago. Still more recently the vendor, a retired motor

engineer, has treated ‘ATR 470’ to a thorough overhaul of the engine and braking systems, and replacement of the king pins and steering joints. Perhaps understandably, he now has no hesitation in viewing the car’s bodywork, Red paintwork, Burgundy leather interior trim, engine and manual four-speed gearbox as all being in ‘excellent’ order. He is now offering this very beautiful and extremely rare pre-war four-seater complete with: full weather equipment; photocopy of the old continuation logbook; original spares catalogue; workshop manual; assorted invoices; and three Triumph books. Splendid to behold, this Gloria is also eligible for a host of VSCC and Pre-1940 events.

1970 JAGUAR E-TYPE 4.2 COUPE

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £40000 - 50000*

'APP 164J' started life as a left-hand drive export model that was despatched to British Leyland New York on November 13th 1970, however, little is known of its life until it was UK registered on October 14th 1988. During the period 1997 to 2011 it was apparently treated to a rolling restoration, during which: the bodywork was restored and repainted in Carmen Red; the engine was fully overhauled and equipped with triple SU carburettors and a stainless steel exhaust system; and the steering converted from left to right-hand drive. Additional improvements carried out between 2012 and 2016 included: a switch to 3.07:1 rear axle ratio and related recalibration of the speedometer; a brake overhaul involving new discs and pads; the fitting of Gaz adjustable dampers on the front and Polybush suspension bushes all round; the replacement of the steering rack and track rod ends; the installation of a period radio cassette; and a general service covering fluids and filters etc - much of this work was carried out by Racing Green, the £3,200 bill for which is included in the history file, along with a photographic record of the earlier labours. The vendor nowadays classes the bodywork, paintwork, Tan leather interior trim, straight-six engine and manual four-speed gearbox as all being in 'very good 'condition, and is now offering the Jaguar complete with Heritage Certificate and the aforementioned invoice and photo album. From birth, the E-Type was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or a two-seater Roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964, while the Series 2 cars launched in 1968 featured a number of modifications required by the Federal market, eg: exposed headlamps, collapsible steering column, safety rocker switches for the facia, larger bumpers and revised side, stop and flasher lamps, plus superior brakes and engine cooling.

CHASSIS 7411821 With a base price of over $4,000, the Chrysler Town & Country Newport Coupe was the most expensive closed car to come out of Detroit in 1950 (excluding limousines and corporation sedans). Costing circa $500 more than the Cadillac Coupe de Ville and $1,000 more than the Kaiser Virginian, the one-year-only model was advertised as possessing the `low swept, road hugging lines of a convertible with a permanent solid steel top that gives the comfort and convenience of a sedan'. Very much a `lifestyle woodie', its distinctive but non-structural white ash wood

1950 CHRYSLER NEWPORT TOWN & COUNTRY COUPE 1 of 2 known 'Black with Black' survivors and 41,000 miles from new

trim was meticulously hand formed. Beautifully tailored and designed, the plush interior was upholstered in leather with nylon cord inserts. Powered by a 323.5ci (5.3 litre) `Spitfire' straight-eight engine allied to four-speed semi-automatic transmission, the luxurious four-seater had need of its innovative hydraulic four-wheel Ausco-Lambert disc brakes. An accomplished cruiser with road presence to spare, the 1950 Town & Country Newport Coupe proved to be the last of Chrysler's iconic lifestyle woodies recording just 698 sales. Sporting a `Ray Ridge, Detroit' supplier's plaque to its trunk, chassis 7411821 is one of only two known survivors finished in Black with Black leather / Silver Grey Nylon Cord upholstery. Discovered in a barn during 1994, its odometer

reading of 25,000 miles was corroborated by various service stickers. Treated to a repaint to combat the effects of bird lime, the four-seater also benefited from a thorough engine and transmission overhaul. The timewarp cabin was untouched but the exterior ash was restored. Now displaying a warranted 41,000 miles to its odometer, this exceptional Chrysler is described by the vendor as `very good' (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) or `excellent' (engine, transmission, electrical equipment). Further enhanced since being imported into Germany (EU taxes paid) via the re-chroming of its windscreen surround and front / rear bumpers at a cost of c.5,000 Euros, the four-seater is worthy of close inspection.

This extremely smart right-hand drive home market example of a much-loved breed has covered just 47,642 warranted miles from new, which have been accrued by a total of four owners. It is presented in the pleasing combination of Highland Green bodywork and Cream leather upholstery. The interior trim, hood and lining have all been recently replaced, as have the exhaust system, tyres and radiator, and the vendor presently regards the Jaguar as having 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior, 5.3-litre V12 engine and automatic transmission. 'A7 LTT' is now being sold complete with a full service history and book pack, every old MOT from new bar one, plus a current one valid to April 30 next year. A perfect car for the upcoming summer weather. Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

CHASSIS 100/34 Formula Junior was a category designed to offer young drivers a first look at single-seat racing and prepare them for Formula 1. Started in 1958 by Count Giovanni 'Johnny' Lurani, the series demanded that engine parts such as block, head and pistons had to come from production cars in order to keep costs down, and various small manufacturers quickly turned their attention to building suitable cars. The first mass-produced British Formula Junior car was designed and built by Frank Nichols for his Elva Engineering Company Ltd. The Elva FJ 100 was first powered by a BMC A-Series engine, but later a 980cc DKW two-stroke unit

In recent years it has been on display at the Brooklands Museum, and used occasionally in historic racing. It now sports the name of Desmond 'Dizzy' Addicott, the test pilot who competed for the Elva Racing Team in the 1960 BRSCC John Davy Trophy, achieving two podium finishes. In more recent years it has raced throughout America and Europe including Spa and Monza in the Lurani Trophy races.

1977 ASTON MARTIN V8 'S' 1 of just 967

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £70000 - 80000*

Retrospectively known as the Series 3, the redesigned V8 model Aston Martin phased-in during July 1973 was a response to concerns over forthcoming US emission control regulations. Marking a switch from Bosch fuelinjection to quad twin-choke 42mm Weber carburation, the newcomer was visually distinguished by an enlarged air intake, elongated bonnet scoop and altered rear window base panel. Utilising the same steel platform chassis complete with independent double-wishbone front suspension, a Watts linkage-located de Dion rear axle, power assisted rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes as its predecessor, the luxury GT benefited from improved engine/transmission cooling and a revised petrol tank design (which boosted luggage space). Other improvements included a revamp of the 2+2 interior with revised seats and reorganised switchgear. Initially developing some 310bhp, its cleaner-running and less temperamental 5340cc DOHC V8 engine made for a prodigiously fast motor car. However, by 1977 even tighter emission regulations had sapped peak output to around 280bhp. Aston’s response was to install ‘Stage 1’ camshafts and an exhaust system developed for the V8 Vantage, restoring power to nearer 304bhp. Models so equipped are sometimes referred to as V8 ‘S’. Due to financial difficulties, the 967 Series 3 cars commissioned were produced in two phases: July 1973 - December 1974 and Spring 1976 - October 1978. A rare and desirable home market V8 ‘S’, chassis V8/11673/RCAS boasts a history file that dates back to 31st December 1979 when it was bought from Aston Martin (Sales) Limited of Sloane Street, London by J.H. Sacks Esq for £16,500. Interestingly, Mr Sacks partexchanged a less powerful, non-‘S’ V8 despite it being barely eight months older. Serviced by the manufacturer on 28th January 1980 at 34,273 miles, the four-seater underwent a speedometer change less than two months later. An accompanying Aston Martin Continuation Service Vouchers Booklet records further maintenance up until 7th April 1983 at 45,943 miles. Briefly looked after by White Lion Autos of Hemel Hempstead, the V8 ‘S’ returned to

its maker’s Newport Pagnell Works Service facility for further fettling during 1985. Belonging to D. Storey Esq of Ivor Heath by 1989, the four-seater was treated to a respray in Gloss Black and re-plated bumpers / over-riders. Acquired by its previous (fifth) keeper – Philip Ramsey Esq - during 2000, chassis V8/11673/RCAS benefited from the following during his seventeen-year custodianship: suspension and brake overhaul (Ken Shergold, £5,933.75), new larger capacity radiator (Ken Shergold, £1,569.76), reconditioned automatic gearbox / torque converter and overhauled brake servos (Automatic Transmission Centre, £2,352.62), chassis / sill repairs, new water pump, various fresh suspension parts (Mark Fish Vehicle Engineers, £2,755.97), air pump repairs, two tyres, replacement headlamps (Mark Fish, £2,431.66), engine compression test, new cam cover gaskets, replacement rear shock absorbers, rejuvenated ignition system (Mark Fish, £3,942.15), carburetor overhaul x 4 (Liskeard Classic Cars, £861.65), door catch / locking mechanisms refurbished, new battery (£849). Only covering some 6,000 miles during Mr Ramsey’s tenure, the Aston Martin has been further improved since entering the current

ownership in 2017. A bill from last July recording that Autopoint of Knutsford overhauled the alternator, fitted new front anti-roll bar bushes, links and brackets plus new indicator / wiper stalks, refurbished the alloy wheels and completed a service (£3,244.02). Passing its last MOT test on 24th August 2018 with ‘no advisories’ at an indicated 64,959 miles (making the total covered from new circa 100,000 given the speedometer change in 1980), this striking and desirable V8 ‘S’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

Launched in the autumn of 1908, Henry Ford's ubiquitous Model T was the car that set both his company and the world at large on the move. It was powered by a sidevalve 2.9-litre four-cylinder engine producing some 20hp. The epicyclic transmission had two forward speeds and a reverse gear and was controlled by a combination of three foot pedals and a lever. Over time the factory produced 0-, 2-, 3- and 4-door Roadsters, Tourers, Pick-ups, Coupes, Estates and Saloons, while rolling chassis were sold so any type of body could be crafted by an appropriate coachbuilder.

Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to sixspeed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque on tap plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A blend of muscularity and elegance, the coupe's clean lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel.

Currently enjoying its 70th birthday, the much-loved Volkswagen Type 2 has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Martin Clunes, Roger Daltry and Jenson Button. It's been home to generations of travelling Australians, helped hippies survive the ' '60s/'70s and been the transport of choice for many a surfer. The original split screen T1 was launched in 1949 and powered by a 1,131cc engine producing just 24bhp, but a range of units up to 2-litres was available by the late '70s. This smartly-presented Devon four-berth Camper features White over Orange bodywork teamed with Cream upholstery, and has had five owners who've travelled 81,885 miles between them. The interior was retrimmed by the Camper Shak in 2008 at a cost of £3,343, and the vehicle is now offered complete with power steering, electronic ignition and a collection of old invoices and MOTs, plus one valid into February 2020.

In 1948 Packard gave its range a wholesale makeover. Known as the 'inverted bathtub', the new look was longer, sleeker and more streamlined. Three series (all eight-cylinder) were now available: Standard/Deluxe, Super and Custom, the latter in either standard or long-wheelbase versions, which were powered by Packard's 'Thunderbolt' inline side-valve engines of 288cid, 327cid and 356cid respectively.

A high-specification example, it includes a panoramic sunroof, reversing camera and 19" alloy wheels, all described by the vendor as being in very good condition.

This 1974 Ford LTD sedan is a recent import from sunny Florida, and comes complete with US title, NOVA number and other paperwork necessary to apply for UK registration. With the vendor describing the car all-round as being in good condition, it presents well in metallic bronze paintwork with chocolate brown vinyl interior

Conceived by Mercedes-Benz to compete with the BMW M3, the C63 AMG more than achieved its aim. Built as a genuine driver's car, it combined blistering 457bhp/ 442lb ft performance with superb handling. Although offered with saloon and estate bodies, it was the two-door coupe which was the sporting choice.

For many years, the LTD was the largest vehicle produced by Ford North America, and although technically a variant of the Galaxie 500, it stood apart due to very high specifications of trim. This also made it for years the most expensive Ford model, but nevertheless it sold well.

With just under 33,000 miles showing on the odometer, this example has a Mercedes specialist service history and a current MOT until February 2020, and engine and gearbox are both described as very good.

With the most popular 5.7-litre (351 CID) V8 engine under the bonnet, this example's odometer shows just 59,000 miles reportedly covered by just two owners, and the car's condition is commensurate with that mileage. A very unusual car in the UK, this vehicle is bound to turn heads.

One of just 1,040 righthand drive Series 2 E-Type 2+2 Coupes produced, 'XGB 381J' vacated the Browns Lane production line in August 1970 and was supplied new to its first owner, Duncan Johnston Ltd, by Richies of Glasgow. It remained in the same family ownership from 1983 to 2017 and currently indicates a total of 92,000 miles from new. The Jaguar's Red bodywork is teamed with a Beige leather interior and its specification includes electronic ignition, automatic transmission and a sunroof. Ongoing maintenance has included a service and attention to the braking system in 2017, and the car is now being offered complete with Heritage Certificate and a collection of old invoices and MOTs, plus a current one valid into March 2020. Introduced in 1966, the 2+2 version of the E-Type was nine inches longer, featured a more vertical windscreen, and came complete with a pair of small rear seats and a notably airy feel.

The post-war period was a boom time for tractor manufacturers. The demand for mechanical help in the fields was huge, and American agricultural machinery manufacturer Allis-Chalmers spotted an opportunity in Great Britain, opening factories in Totton near Southampton and Essendine in Rutland. This 1958 Allis-Chalmers D272 is of the models built in England at the Essendine plant between 1957 and 1960. Fitted with either a 2.1L Allis-Chalmers or a 2.4L Perkins diesel, the D272 combined a three-speed gearbox with two-wheel drive and a rear PTO delivering 560rpm. This example is described by the vendor as being in 'good' condition all round. The tractor comes with its original brown log book and a sales receipt from 1968. Now very rare, this is an unusual opportunity to buy an unusual part of British agricultural heritage. The lot is offered at no reserve. PLEASE NOTE: The above image is of a similar vehicle

1924 LANCIA LAMBDA SERIES II TORPEDO TOURER Early 2nd Series long chassis torpedo tourer

ESTIMATE £90000 - 110000*

The extraordinarily innovative Lancia Lambda was unveiled to the public at the 1922 Paris Salon and developed through nine series over a nine year reign. It’s said that Vincenzo Lancia envisioned the Lambda after considering the strength required by a ship’s hull to resist the forces of the oceans. The result was the world’s first monocoque motorcar body, eliminating at a stroke the need for a heavy, separate chassis. Much of the strength was derived from the transmission tunnel. What’s more, by seating the passengers beside rather than above the driveshaft, Lancia was able to achieve a lower roofline than was usual at the time. Production figures for the model vary, but over 11,000 examples were reputedly built by the time the Lambda was superseded by the Artena.

This splendid early Series II Torpedo comes with an enviable history. It was delivered new to Australia in 1924, where it was first registered on November 18 to a Dr R L Oliver of Chatswood, New South Wales. Subsequent keepers on that continent include Ian McKnee who, with Len Evans of Hunter Wines fame, won the 1985 Bourke to Burketown Bash in the car; an amazing feat that required them to travel from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria and back, ie 7,000 kilometres in six days. They apparently did this with the hood down the whole way, setting up a card school each night with candelabra, ice buckets and Champagne. Having been restored in the 1980s, ‘SV 8852’ was then imported to the UK in 2000 by Dick Parrott and purchased by Roger Hart, who retained the Lancia until last year. Originally finished in White, it is these days presented in the stately combination of Maroon over Black and trimmed in Grey leather. A wonderful and very usable example of a fine breed.

1936 ASTON MARTIN MK II 1.5 LITRE SPORTS SALOON 1 of just 24 examples

ESTIMATE £45000 - 55000*

Founded as long ago as 1913 and one of the in-vogue marques of today, Aston Martin has a unique history of turmoil and success, from which many great cars have nevertheless resulted. These certainly include the 1.5 Litre MKII cars introduced in the ‘30s under the helmsmanship of the Anglo-Italian entrepreneur Augustus ‘Bert’ Bertelli. Offered in two lengths of chassis with a variety of sporting bodies, they neither sold quickly or in any great numbers, but proved highly successful in competition, creating an indelible mark on the record books in the process. The MKII was the final iteration of Bertelli’s 1.5-litre series of vehicles, improvements to the chassis, suspension and engine of which made it one of the fastest point-to-point sports cars of its day. It is therefore very exciting that one of just 24 long-wheelbase Sports Saloon versions made has just resurfaced after 50 years in the wilderness. H&H is delighted to bring this mercifully unmolested ‘garage find’ to market and therefore give some lucky person the privilege of returning it to its former glory. ‘BWM 243’ was sold new on January 31, 1936 by Watson & Co Ltd of Oldham Street, Liverpool to a Mr W F M Mather of Birkdale, Lancs. As today, it featured Green bodywork teamed with Green leather upholstery. As early as March of the same year it was sold to an R L Bowes of Fairmile, Cobham, courtesy of Winter Garden Garages, London. Almost exactly a year later it once again changed hands, this time to the benefit of a Captain G Fane of London EC3. There is then a break in the records until July 11 1953, when the car was acquired by a Mr Philip Kenyon of Liverpool for the princely sum of £350 – the bill of sale is included among the paperwork that accompanies this fascinating car. Mr Kenyon was apparently a brilliant selftaught electrical engineer who worked on the development of the first radar systems. Whilst that was his day job, during WWII he was also a member of the Radio Secret Service and most nights he would listen for and write down German morse code which was, the family understands now, sent on to Bletchley Park for decryption.

Mr Kenyon would regularly be accused of being a “fifth columnist” himself by his neighbours due to the very large flag pole at the bottom of his garden which he employed as a mast. He neighbours wondered why the police took no action when they reported him for being a spy…

waterproof of buildings, had it moved to drier, warmer storage at her own premises, which is where it has remained until now. Mrs Marks passed away in October 2016, at which point title switched to her husband, Neil, in whose name the car is currently registered.

He employed the Aston as family transport for himself, his wife and their two daughters, and it remained in such use until the late ‘60’s when a handbrake cable broke and the owner decided it was no longer a practical mode of family transport The car was then retired to the garage alongside his house. The paperwork included with the sale also includes what possibly are the last insurance certificate and last Ministry of Transport Test Certificate dated 14 May 1967 and 7 May 1965 respectively. An “Instruction Book” dated 1 May 1953 and “Registration Book” from 1961 is also included.

Aside of the evident deterioration, this splendid motorcar is now offered exactly as it was laid up by Mr Kenyon almost 50 years ago – a true time warp find, capable of exciting even the most hardened of classic car enthusiasts.

1960 COOPER TYPE 51 SINGLE SEATER Competed in the 1960 Solitude GP & Grand Prix des Frontieres

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £90000 - 100000*

Every now and again, motorsport experiences a technological leap forwards that makes other designs obsolete. Although engines had been seen behind the driver in the 1930s, it was Owen Maddock's mid-engine F1 designs for the Cooper Car Company in the late 1950s that established this as the dominant layout. His CooperClimax T43 in the hands of Stirling Moss was the first car with engine behind the driver to win a Grand Prix in 1958, but the following year it was the Cooper Type 51 driven by Jack Brabham that took him to his first F1 World Championship win. For the next four years, the T51 was dominant, driven by both works teams and privateers alike in both Formula 1 and 2 races.

Cooper T51 FII/11/60 was built by the Cooper Car Company for customer Robert Adda whose driver Gérard Laureau competed in the car throughout the 1960 season. After races at Montlhéry, he achieved creditable 12th places at both Nürburgring Südschleife and Schloss Solitude amongst fields containing Von Tripps, Clark, Bonnier, Surtees and Graham Hill. Laureau's best result in the car came in the Formula 2 race at Chimay where he secured a 5th place on the road circuit. In 1961 the car was driven by the Swiss competitor André Wicky in the Formula One Non-Championship race at Pau and at the Mont Ventoux hillclimb in June. The car is now fitted with a 1,969cc FPF engine with twin Weber 48 DCOE carburettors and a Cooper ERSA 4-speed gearbox, as detailed in its MSA Technical Passport which is included in the sale. The vendor describes the bodywork, engine, gearbox and electrical components as all being in 'very good' condition, with 'good' paintwork. Presenting well, with good period racing history, this Cooper T51 offers significant historic racing potential.

1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE 4.2 COUPE Jaguar Drivers Club champion of champions, best E-Type winner 2018

ESTIMATE £80000 - 100000*

If you've ever lusted after an E-Type Jaguar - and let's face it, who hasn't? - then surely one for serious consideration would be that which won the 2018 Jaguar Drivers' Club Champion of Champions award for best E-Type. Well you're in luck, as it's currently seeking a suitable caring new home. 'OCD 689G' is a UK market, matching numbers example that hails from 1969, during which it was distributed by Henlys of London to Jaguar dealer Moores of Birmingham. There were only three former keepers - the first being a Mr G A Yarwood, while the second was the actor Tony Osoba, who retained the car from 1994 to 2007. The restoration that clearly so impressed the concours judges apparently took place between 2014 and 2017, and the results need to be seen first-hand to be fully appreciated. The car is finished in a lustrous shade of Dark Blue and trimmed in contrasting Beige leather. It rides on immaculate chrome wire wheels and it specification includes a sunroof. The indicated total mileage is a low but credible 39,559, and this lovely example of a much-loved breed is now being offered complete with Heritage Certificate, and comprehensive history file containing a letter and signed photo from Tony Osoba, and MOTs dating all the way back to 1975. What's not to like? Ever since the celebration of their 50th anniversary back in 2011, E-Types have represented ever stronger currency, as befits the motorcar described at birth by none other than Enzo Ferrari as 'the most beautiful car in the world'. Though it is quite rightly the early Series 1 examples that are making the big money, suitably cornered, most E-Type aficionados agree that the Series 2 models are more comfortable and driveable. They are also surprisingly rare, with just 1,070 Coupe versions produced between 1968 and 1971.

Brainchild of Lotus design and development engineer Ron Hickman, the Elan was introduced at the 1962 Earls Court Motor Show. Based around a steel backbone chassis (a.k.a. the 'Chapman Bracket') clad with lightweight fibreglass bodywork, the newcomer boasted such niceties as all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, pop-up headlights and integral bumpers. Powered by a 1600cc (initially 1500cc) 'twin-cam' four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed (later five-speed) manual transmission, the diminutive Lotus rewrote the class rulebook in terms of ride,

Arguably even more dynamic than a standard S4, ‘RHW 77G’ is offered for sale with a collection of invoices plus a current MOT certificate valid until October 2019.

1970 BRISTOL 411

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £30000 - 35000*

Having made a major contribution to both world wars, the Bristol Aeroplane Company found itself with large premises and a sizeable skilled workforce but too few orders. In order to redeploy this invaluable resource it opted to create a luxury car division and, under the war reparation scheme, acquired rights over pre-war BMW models and their powerplants. The company was therefore able to produce its first vehicle - the 400 Saloon - as early as the autumn of 1946. By 1969 it had progressed to the 411. This was powered by the 6286cc version of Chrysler's OHV B-Series V8, which endowed the newcomer with a 30 percent hike in power over the 5211cc-engined 410 - sufficient for a top speed of 145mph. This very smart-looking Series 1 Bristol 411 was first registered in May 1970 before being exported to Saudi Arabia, where it remained until repatriation in 1974. The car was purchased by the vendor c.eight years ago as a restoration project - a comprehensive task that included stripping the car back to bare metal, repairing the bodywork and respraying it in an attractive shade of Mazda Red. The original engine and gearbox were replaced with reconditioned units supplied by the American Car Company (NB further work on the latter has recently been carried out by another Bristol aficionado, SLJ Hackett of Warminster); the brakes were overhauled during which the master cylinder and servo were replaced; the wheels and tyres attended to; the woodwork refurbished and the brightwork rechromed; the carpets replaced; and a period radio installed. The engine's timing chain was renewed as recently as last year. The currently displayed mileage of 62,500 is believed to be genuine and the vendor presently regards the Bristol's bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine and automatic transmission to be in 'excellent' form and its Black leather interior trim to be 'very good'.

1927 ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM I ALL-WEATHER CABRIOLET BY MURPHY Body restoration by Steve Penney

ESTIMATE £120000 - 160000*

"After seven years of experiment and test, the 40/50hp six-cylinder Phantom chassis emerged, and is offered to the public as the most suitable type possible for a mechanically-propelled chassis under present-day conditions" (New Phantom launch brochure, May 1925).

By 1925, the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost had been upstaged by a younger generation of more technically advanced luxury cars. The glory days of the 1913 Alpine Trials had long passed and both Henry Royce and Rolls-Royce sales manager Claude Johnson felt the need to produce a new claimant to the title 'best car in the world'. Just as the competition between car manufacturers was becoming increasingly fierce, so that between rival coachbuilders had intensified correspondingly. With the arrival of each faster, more powerful chassis came the opportunity to construct ever more lavish, sophisticated coachwork. To ensure that their cars could be fitted with the finest bodies in the world, Rolls-Royce introduced the 'New Phantom'. While, its tapered channel-section chassis, four-speed manual transmission, supple springing (semi-elliptic front, cantilever rear) and ingenious gearbox-driven servo assisted four wheel brakes owed much to its predecessor, the Phantom's 7668cc engine was all new. Quoted as being an impressive 33 per cent more powerful than the Ghost's unit, it featured overhead valves set in a detachable cylinder head, two-cylinder blocks with three cylinders each, aluminium alloy crankcase and a massive seven bearing crankshaft. Bore and stroke dimensions of 108 x 139.7mm resulted in abundant torque, enabling the flagship Rolls-Royce to accelerate from walking speed to approximately 80mph in top gear. Unveiled at the company's 14/15 Conduit St, London showrooms during May 1925, the 'New Phantom' remained in production in the UK until 1929, by which time some 2,269 chassis had been delivered. In common with the Silver Ghost before it, the 'New Phantom' (retrospectively dubbed Phantom I) was also

manufactured in Springfield Massachusetts between 1926 and 1931. The US versions differed in a number of respects, including: the long wheelbase chassis were four inches shorter than the UK ones, the transmissions were threespeed units with a centre change rather than four-speed with right-hand change as fitted to the UK specification cars, while the Americans opted for a one-shot centralised chassis lubrication system rather than the multi-point Enot set-up of the home market vehicles. US production totalled 1,240 units giving a grand total for Phantom I manufacture of 3,509, a pleasing number of which are still doing good service in all corners of the world. It was on a Springfield-built Phantom I chassis that this simply stunning left-hand drive All-Weather Cabriolet was constructed in 1927 by Murphy of Pasadena - apparently one of only six ever made by the firm and reputedly the only one remaining complete with its original body. Immaculate inside and out, it is finished in sparkling Maroon over Black and trimmed in Beige leather, and everything that could shine does, from the brass updraft carburettor to the Rolls-Royce

branded headlamps. The substantial hood is also Beige in colour, as are the covers for the twin-wing-mounted spare wheels, while the Rolls rides on immaculate white-walled tyres, offset by enormous highly-polished wheel trims. The sheer presence of this car has to be seen to be believed. Within the same ownership since 2001, 'SV 8070' has apparently benefited from a restoration by Steve Penney. It has also been fitted with a replacement clutch as recently as March this year. This splendid motorcar is now being made available for somebody else to enjoy, and comes complete with an extremely comprehensive toolkit and photographic record of the restoration. A wonderful testament to a sadly bygone era.

1901 DE DION BOUTON TYPE G Previous Brighton runner

ESTIMATE £50000 - 60000*

This gorgeous unrestored G Type De Dion almost has its own groove on the A23, having contested and completed no less than 14 London to Brighton runs in the last 20 years (its length of time in the current ownership), plus many others since before the war. Being one of the older contestants, it normally benefits from an early start in the run and the history file is packed with on-event images, plus a press cutting from a 1953 edition of the Autocar magazine. 'Dixie' wears a Veteran Car Club brass plaque showing the year of manufacture as 1900, but this was later reviewed by the club, which now considers it to have been born in 1901, and the appropriate certificate is included in the sale. The 3-4 seater still wears its original Ipswich-originated registration number, 'DX 108', that was added in 1904. Maintenance has been ongoing, and the two-speed gearbox was refurbished in 2002. Along the way the original 4½hp single-cylinder engine has been supplanted by an uprated 6hp one, which has only just been completely overhauled with new con rod etc, at a cost of £7,600. The vendor describes this splendid veteran as being in 'lovely, original condition and presently classes the engine as 'very good', the bodywork, interior trim and transmission as 'good' and the paintwork as 'average'. He adds that 'Dixie' is lovely to drive and control and enjoys the open road'. Finished in Blue over Black and trimmed in Black leather, this splendid item of mobile motoring history comes compete with a forest of related items including: four brass lamps; handbook, general workshop manual and gearbox manual; numerous items of memorabilia relating to the London to Brighton run; and a collection of old MOT certificates and tax discs. This horseless carriage represents a fine opportunity for anybody seeking first-hand experience of the London to Brighton run and other veteran car events - and, it should be noted, is sufficiently compact to be fitted into a singlehorse trailer for ease of transportation!

The Marquis Jules-Albert de Dion was involved with the world of horseless carriages from as early as 1883 and his first internal combustion-engined offering was a diminutive tricycle powered by the company's new vertical singlecylinder engine, which was notable for revving at almost twice the speed of the contemporary Daimler unit. The four-wheeled vis a vis Model D Voiturette first seen in 1900 introduced the world to the innovative De Dion rear axle, which was way ahead of its time, by when De Dion-Bouton had briefly become the largest motorcar manufacturer in the world, producing 400 cars and 3,200 engines. The basic design of the Model D was developed to produce Models E, G, I and J before being replaced in 1902 by the Model L, a rear-entry phaeton.

1969 FIAT 124 SPIDER

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £12000 - 14000*

'RFG 425G' was delivered new to San Francisco in 1969 and is also known to have spent some time in Japan. It appears to have had just three owners from new, the previous keepers being a family that retained it from 1973 to 2018, at which point it was imported into the UK. The lefthand drive Fiat was recently repainted in its original colour of Colorado Yellow, but the Black PVC interior is apparently unchanged from new. The car recently starred in an episode of the BBC's Antiques Road Trip, and is now offered for sale complete with a photographic record of the repaint, a comprehensive history file from its time in the US and Japan, a cover for the hood, and an MOT valid into June of next year. Introduced at the November 1966 Turin Salon, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider boasted a handsome two-door monocoque bodyshell that was not only styled but built by Pininfarina (though, Fiat assumed responsibility for final assembly). Borrowing heavily from its 124 saloon sibling, the newcomer featured all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double-wishbone front / Panhard rod-located ‘live’ axle rear), four-wheel disc brakes and worm-and-roller steering. Designed by ex-Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi, its fourcylinder engine featured an aluminium DOHC crossflow cylinder head. Progressively enlarged from 1.4 litres to 1.6 litres (1970), 1.8 litres (1974) and finally 2.0 litres (1979), the free-revvving unit was allied to four-speed (later five-speed) manual transmission. Incorporating such thoughtful features as intermittent wipers and a hood that could be raised in under twenty seconds, the Sport Spider proved a great sales success. A staple part of Fiat’s model range until 1982 just under 200,000 are thought to have been made (though, over eighty percent were shipped to North America).

This very smartly-presented manual transmission example matches Red bodywork to Red-piped Black interior trim. It is a genuine right-hand drive UK specification car with matching numbers that's benefited from a degree of restoration, including a full respray. The MG is being offered complete with overdrive gearbox as fitted from new, mohair hood and tonneau, original Warwickshire registration number, photographic evidence of the restoration and a Heritage Certificate. It rides on chrome wire wheels, while aftermarket extras such as a wood rim steering wheel, chrome luggage rack and MG logoed floor mats all add to the overall appeal of 'PAC 769F'. Intended as a flagship sports car to replace the AustinHealey 3000, the MG C was introduced in the autumn of 1967. Based around the two-door monocoque bodyshell of the humble MG B (albeit with a substantially altered engine bay and floorpan), the newcomer was powered by a 2912 cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either a new heavy-duty, all-synchromesh, four-speed manual overdrive gearbox, or three-speed automatic transmission. Other mechanical differences included: a larger radiator, torsion-bar front suspension, telescopic dampers and lower geared rack and pinion steering. The C was visually distinguished from the B by its 'power bulge' bonnet and taller 15-inch wheels. While early road tests criticised the car's 'nose heavy' handling (the engine was 209 lbs heavier than the B’s and the weight distribution was 53:47), later reports were kinder. With some 145 bhp and 170 lb ft of torque, the model could complete the 0-60 mph dash in around 10 seconds and hit 120 mph flat out. Sadly, too readily confused with its smaller-engined brother, it was axed in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs are understood to have been made. Now, 40 years later, the MG C's lack of period sales success only serves to make it more collectible.

CHASSIS 3175 Introduced in 1923, the Alvis 12/40 was an evolution of the marque's previous 10/30 and 11/40 models. Utilising a ladder frame chassis equipped with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear wheel brakes, the newcomer cradled its 1598cc four-cylinder sidevalve engine and four-speed manual gearbox in a subframe (an engineering nicety that many rivals did without). Available with a selection of open and closed coachwork, soft-top versions were reputedly capable of 70mph and achieved numerous competition successes. Overshadowed by the 12/50, surviving 12/40s are few and far between today.

Dispatched from the Works on 29th July 1924, chassis 3175 was bodied as a Four-Seater Tourer by Chas Kirkham of Petersham, Sydney and indeed is reportedly one of just six such cars known to have survived. According to email correspondence on file, the Alvis was first owned by Mr Boyce, a Drummoyne Sydney-based real estate broker, before passing to John Claude Coles in whose family it remained until circa 1980. Consigned to auction by Jack Coles, the 12/40 was substantially complete but dilapidated when Australian Alvis Owners' Club member Fred Heming bought it. Christened `Ally' shortly thereafter, the Kirkhambodied Tourer was sold to Mr Heming's friend Rob Simpson a couple of years later who promptly set about an extensive restoration.

Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the `Frogeye'. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. Some 129,000 Sprites were made between the 'Frog Eye' of 1958 and 1971. The bodywork was completely revamped for the MKII introduced in 1961, which featured conventional wings, bonnet and headlights. The rear was also updated and given an opening bootlid.

Saab's 900 series of cars ran through two generations, the first of which was manufactured from 1978 to 1993. It was based on the Saab 99 chassis, though featured a longer nose to satisfy the federal crash regulations of the time. The model was produced in two and four-door Saloon and three and five-door hatchback configurations, and with carburetted, fuel injected and turbocharged powerplants. The line was supplanted by the 9-3 in 1998. The 900 now being offered is a 16-valve Turbo three-door Hatchback supplied new in 1991 by Wolverhampton Saab, and is notable for remaining within the same family from day one. It sports Grey bodywork teamed with a Black leather interior and currently indicates a total mileage of 144,211. The vendor judges the Swede's bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, engine and manual gearbox to all be in `good' order, and is selling the car with original book pack with service book plus a large collection of invoices and MOTs.

By the end of its production life, the Rover 800 series was a competent and well-equipped car with climate control, driver and passenger air bags as standard, and a comfortable, plush cabin. Facelifts in 1991 and 1996 brought the design bang up to date and made the car a popular seller. This right-hand drive UK Rover 820 Vitesse from 1998 is a two-door coupe finished in the elegant combination of white gold metallic paint with stone beige leather interior. Family owned from new, it has the 1994cc petrol engine with five-speed manual gearbox and comes with the original owner’s wallet, the original sales order quotation sheet, handbooks and service book. The history file includes a collection of invoices detailing maintenance of the car over its 113,884-displayed miles. This facelifted 820 Vitesse with good specification, family ownership from new and no reserve is likely to offer a great deal of motoring for a very sensible outlay.

`F239 AOM' was supplied new in 1989 by Colmore Saab of Birmingham and has remained within the same family ownership ever since, who between them have amassed a total mileage of 180,086. It is a three-door Hatchback model powered by Saab's potent 16-valve turbocharged engine, so no mean performer even by today's standards. It sports Grey bodywork that's matched to a Black leather interior and the vendor presently regards the Turbo's bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in `good' condition. She's now making what must surely be an emotional sale complete with the car's original factory supplied wallet with owner's manual and service book, plus a large collection of old invoices and MOTs. These Saab's were built to withstand the harsh winters of Scandinavia and, properly maintained, tend to run and run. The chances are there's enough life left in `F239 AOM' to serve the next keeper for many years to come.

It was originally supplied by Mercedes-Benz of Wolverhampton and has remained within the same family from new, since when it has covered a mere 14,277 miles. The Benz is finished in a pleasing shade of Metallic Green that's complemented by Cream leather interior trim, and it's judged by the vendor to have `very good' bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, V6 engine and automatic seven-speed transmission. She's now selling `BL05 DYF' complete with Tracker, Mercedes suit case, original book pack with service book and handbooks plus a collection of invoices and old MOTs. The landmark 300 of 1954 and the ensuing 190 comprised the first generation of Mercedes-Benz's iconic SL models. The much loved second generation (W113) began with the 230 of 1963 and was distinguished by a distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname of `Pagoda top'. The apparently everlasting, larger, third model (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The fourth generation (R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Salon of 1989. Based on a shortened version of the W124 floorpan, it was a beautifully-engineered car that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front and a contemporary five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, a hidden roll-over bar that automatically extended when required, and front air bags. Next up was the R230 Series that was in production from 2001 to 2011 with a range of engines from a 3.7-litre 245bhp V6 to a thumping 6-litre V12 of no less than 604bhp. This newcomer was notable for its retractable hardtop, active body control and, on post-2004 versions, a new sevenspeed automatic transmission.

Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model or range of models since 1954, when the landmark 300SL was unveiled. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. The second generation SL (W113) began with the 230 of 1963. It was distinguished by its lower waistline, big curved screens and a distinctive optional hardtop that earned it the nickname of 'pagoda top'. The larger, third generation model (R107) was launched in 1971.

The newcomer featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension all round. The power assisted steering was Daimler-Benz's own recirculating ball system. Braking was by discs all round - ventilated on the front. Over its very successful 19 year production span the R107 featured no less than two straight-six engines and six V8 units. The 420 SL variant is understood to be the rarest of all the 237,287 R107 SLs made, with just 2,148 leaving the factory between 1985 and 1989. Its 4.2-litre V8 produced some 215bhp at 5200rpm - sufficient output to endow the big Benz with effortless acceleration and a top speed of 130mph, while remaining more economical than its biggerengined siblings.

1973 JAGUAR E-TYPE V12 ROADSTER 3,052 miles from new

ESTIMATE £100000 - 120000*

This time warp manual transmission E-Type has amassed just 3,052 miles since it vacated Jaguar's Browns Lane production line in 1973 - ie an average of 66 miles per annum! For some reason it remained unregistered until 1979, when it was sold as a new vehicle by Duncan Hamilton Ltd, then of Bagshot, to the family who have retained it to this day. In recent times it has benefited from a new hood, plus a mechanical overhaul by renowned Jaguar specialists CMC of Bridgnorth. `FHA 266T' remains in its original livery of Primrose Yellow bodywork teamed with a Black leather interior and is considered by the vendor to have `very good' Roadster bodywork, upholstery, V12 engine and four-speed gearbox, and `good' paintwork. She is now offering the E-Type complete with Heritage Certificate, original owner's handbook, invoices and large collection of old MOTs. An extraordinary find that will doubtless be of interest to V12 E-Type fans everywhere. The last E-Type rolled off the production line in 1974, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations, its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines thought to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. From birth, it was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964, while in 1966 a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range. It was 9in longer and featured a more vertical windscreen. The Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971, virtually all of which were fitted with Jaguar's new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as a Roadster or 2+2 Coupe. Production continued until the model was superseded by the XJS in 1975, by which time some 15,000 V12-engined cars had been produced.

ESTIMATE £21000 - 24000*

1960 MG A 1600 ROADSTER 1 of just 1,334 home market examples

Brainchild of Lotus design and development engineer Ron Hickman, the Elan was introduced at the 1962 Earls Court Motor Show and promptly redefined its class in terms of ride, handling and performance. Arguably the ultimate Elan derivative, the Sprint arrived in February 1971. Characterised by its 'Big Valve' (126bhp / 113lbft) engine and bold colour schemes, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds and 121mph. Only in production until August 1973, the Sprint remains keenly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. A genuine Sprint, ÈTN 473K' began life as a fixed head coupe but was fitted with a brand new drophead coupe body (not a chop) as part of a seven-year long restoration (1992-1999) that also saw it uprated with a replacement Spyder chassis. As well as being far more corrosion resistant, the latter boasts stronger wishbones and solid driveshafts. Further benefiting from an alloy radiator, electric fan, electronic ignition, stainless steel exhaust, alternator and alloy fuel tank, the Lotus is said to be `very well sorted indeed'. Treated to refurbished seats in 2017 and a very high quality repaint / refurbished wheels last year, the Elan is described by the vendor's agent as `very good' (electrical equipment) or èxcellent' (engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, interior trim). A former Financial Director of the London Lotus Centre, the seller has owned nine Elans over the years plus various MGs, Ferraris and even a Ford GT40! Considerably less expensive than an original Sprint Drophead in comparable condition, ÈTN 473K' is worthy of close inspection. Accompanying documentation includes a large history file dating back to 1979 and a copy of `Rebuilding of an Elan' by Brian Buckland.

CHASSIS GHN85811 Introduced in Autumn 1955, the MGA Roadster married a proven chassis design derived from its TD/TF predecessors to the new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine first seen in the Magnette saloon. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory's successful EX182 prototype racers (5th- and 6th-in-class at that year's Le Mans), its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Continually updated, the MGA range was joined by Coupe and 'Twin Cam' variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively. Prompted by the latter's performance advantage, the standard pushrod model received a capacity increase to 1588cc and front disc brakes in May 1959.

1995 ASTON MARTIN DB7

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £18000 - 22000*

Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR Group know-how for a new generation, ‘small’ Aston Martin to become a reality. Introduced at the March 1993 Geneva Salon albeit deliveries did not start until late the following year - the newcomer had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque’s previous models. Indeed under the watchful eye of Engineering Director Rod Mansfield Project NPX (as the nascent DB7 was labelled) got through some thirty prototypes. Based around a steel semi-monocoque chassis the production version was equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Derived from a proven Jaguar unit, the DB7’s 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine boasted four valves per cylinder, Zytec multi-point fuel injection and an Eaton supercharger. Credited with developing 335bhp and 360lbft, it was allied to five-speed manual transmission as standard and reputedly enabled the Aston Martin to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and reach 161mph. However, it was the way the fixed head coupe looked, rather than its performance potential, which wowed the public. Styled by Ian Callum, the DB7 has long been regarded as a modern masterpiece. Priced at circa £80,000 the six-cylinder coupe remained current until 1999 by which time some 1,578 had been sold. 'N893 HVX' is an automatic transmission example that has remained within the same ownership since 2011, bringing the total recorded mileage to 96,000. Well-presented in Silver matched to a Cream hide interior, the Aston has benefited from a c.£8,000 mechanical overhaul, plus a repaint by the Aston Workshop in 2012, and is presently regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, straight-six engine and gearbox. The car is now offered complete with its original book pack, sales brochure and a collection of old invoices and MOTs, plus a current one valid into September.

CHASSIS ZFFKA36C000091266 With its straked side vents, pop-up headlamps and quadcam, longitudinally-mounted 3405cc V8, it could be said that the Ferrari 348 is the ultimate expression of the 1980s Ferrari. Indeed, it was the final car design that Enzo Ferrari oversaw, being unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Auto Show just months after il Commendatore passed away. At launch, two versions were offered: a coupe 348 TB and a targa 348 TS, the 'T' standing for Transversale noting the position of the gearbox.

This right-hand drive 348 TS was first registered on 7th January 1992 to a Mr Michael Clark by Ferrari agents Nigel Mansell Sports Cars of Blandford, Dorset. Coming with a two-year warranty, the car's on-the-road price was £79,106. Mr Clark specified the classic combination of Rosso Corsa paint with tan leather interior, arguably the best for any Ferrari. The car was enjoyed by other UK owners until 17th July 2007 when purchased by the vendor, a Ferrari enthusiast for whom the 348 was her sixth model of the marque. Since then, she has used the car regularly and states she has entrusted its care to a former Maranello Concessionaires mechanic and had the cambelts last changed in 2012 at 58,000 miles.

As Auto Express state: "Colour-code the roof and you've got the best of both worlds; a car that looks like a coupé, but you can remove the roof if you want." The bodywork, engine, electrical equipment and interior are now described as 'very good' and the paintwork as 'good'. The car comes with an MOT, history file and V5. An early home market 348 with a great colour combination and recent enthusiast ownership is a rare beast; this car is likely to attract a great deal of attention.

CHASSIS S907056 Introduced at the October 1955 Earl's Court Motor Show, the MKI 2.4 litre was intended to broaden Jaguar's appeal beyond the volatile luxury and sportscar sectors. Notable as the Coventry manufacturer's first monocoque design, it featured independent front suspension, a `live' rear axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes (though, discs soon became optional). Powered by a 2483cc DOHC straightsix engine allied to either four-speed manual or threespeed automatic transmission, the compact sports saloon boasted class-leading 100mph performance. Remaining in production until 1959, some 19,992 MKI 2.4s are thought to have left the Browns Lane factory.

According to its accompanying Jaguar Trust Heritage Certificate, chassis S907056 was built to right-hand drive specification on 30th April 1957 complete with twin fog lamps, half spats over the rear wheels and a kilometres per hour speedometer. Finished in Mist Grey with Red leather upholstery, the Jaguar was supplied new to Monsieur Douer by Garage La Claparede of Geneva. Thought to have changed hands just twice more whilst in Switzerland, the MKI spent an incredible fifty years or so in dry storage following a minor accident. Still sporting a crumpled offside front wing when repatriated to the UK during 2015, chassis S907056 was subsequently stripped to bare metal and found to be incredibly sound and nigh on corrosion free.

And now for something completely different! If you’ve ever fancied owning a Spitfire – that’s a Supermarine one, not a Triumph! – then the chances are you’ve been put off by the lack of availability and/or the potential cost. Well, as long as you only need one for impressing the neighbours or taking to shows, we have just the answer in the shape of this impressivelooking MKV Evocation. Constructed in fibreglass around a steel frame by acknowledged experts GB Replicas, this full-scale replica comes as a blank canvas for you to add whatever markings you desire. The MKV was produced in greater numbers than any of the other 23 marks of Spitfire - the most famous WWII aircraft of which no less than 20,351 examples were constructed in period, c.240 of which still exist around the world, and over 50 remain airworthy. We understand the Lot will be fully assembled by the time of the sale.

Launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJS could only cheat time for so long and, in 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp / 283lbft. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996.

The MG Midget of 1961 was essentially a MKII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. The newcomer started life powered by a 948cc BMC 'A' Series engine. The doors were without external handles or locks and the side windows comprised sliding perspex screens. Braking was by drums all-round. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MKIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1098cc to 1275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter-elliptic ones inherited from the Frogeye Sprite, and the front drum brakes had been replaced with discs. Wind-up windows had been fitted, together with a superior hood.

Originally purchased from Straight Eight by the vendor in 2005, this low mileage example was sold in 2009 but purchased back nine years later. Now registering just c.39,000 miles, it is most attractively finished in Black complemented by Tan leather. The paint, bodywork and interior are said to be "very good" whilst the engine, transmission and electrics are described as "excellent". Maintained by Harwoods since 2009 (invoices on file) it is offered with Swansea V5, current MOT to 27 November and a number of invoices and old MOTs. A remote Sat Nav is fitted.

ESTIMATE NO RESERVE*

Although unveiled to the public at the October 1935 Olympia Motor Show, the Phantom III did not enter series production until May 1936. A fabulous design that reasserted RollsRoyce's right to be considered as the world's pre-eminent car manufacturer, its cruciform-braced chassis featured independent coil-sprung front suspension, a fully floating live rear axle, hydraulic dampers and gearbox driven servoassisted four-wheel drum brakes. Drawing on decades of aero-engine experience, it was powered by a 7340cc OHV V12. Fabricated largely from aluminium alloy, this technically advanced unit boasted a seven-bearing crankshaft, eightbearing camshaft, hydraulic tappets and dual downdraught Stromberg carburettors. Effortlessly potent and eerily smooth, it required a level of care and maintenance not dissimilar to that of its Schneider Trophy-winning siblings. Allied to a four-speed manual gearbox (complete with synchromesh on second, third and fourth gears), it gave most variants a top speed of 100mph. Only produced for three years, just 727 Phantom IIIs are thought to have been despatched worldwide. The example on offer is a 1937 model entered from a deceased estate at No Reserve. It was supplied new to R L Douglas Esq of Glasgow to his exacting specification of a long type chassis, "E" rake steering column and twin mounted side mount wheels. In the current ownership since 1996, this splendidly original motorcar has already been the subject of a degree of restoration work, including the replacement of sections of its ash frame, and a selection of parts ready for refitting are included in the sale. The original engine is in place and appears to be complete, as does the rest of the car, with the glorious Lucas P100R headlamps, twin side-mounted spare wheels, heater, centre blinds etc all very much in evidence. Finished in Silver over Black and trimmed in Green leather, 'BGA 119' currently displays a credible 92,492 miles, and we are delighted to be offering this handsome Phantom III with its rare James Young coachwork that now patiently awaits the right person to complete the restoration process.

Braking was by power assisted on all corners and steering was by recirculating ball. The car's 'square' track gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280 SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power assisted steering.

Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i in 1983, followed by the XR4x4 in 1985, and the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986. The latter was conceived to gain homologation for Group A Touring Car racing, out of which grew the all-conquering RS500 Cosworth. Just 500 right-hand drive homologation specials were created for Ford by Aston Martin Tickford, with the aim of making the already highly competitive Sierra Cosworth 'unbeatable on the race tracks'. The intention was to finish them all in Black, but 56 ultimately ended up White and 52 in Moonstone Blue. The key differences between the standard product and the RS500 were: thicker walled cylinder block; larger Garrett turbocharger and intercooler; uprated fuel pump; uprated oil and cooling systems; and secondary rear spoiler. The engine upgrades increased output from 204bhp to 222bhp and the RS500 ultimately won 15 national series, including the 1990 British Touring Car Championship. The infinitely more powerful version now offered was constructed by Brodie Brittain Racing c.1992, the shell employed for which featured welded seams and foam filled cavities. The output of its freshly overhauled T4 turbo engine is understood to be c.500bhp, but the attendant water and breather systems will apparently handle up to 600bhp. Other notable features of this very fast Ford include: big bore stainless steel exhaust system, big brakes, BBR suspension and 16 inch BBS wheels. The 'Cossie' is smartly presented in a livery of White with Blue and Black stripes, and comes complete with full roll cage, full harness seat belt, Corbeau racing seat, on-board fire extinguisher etc. It is presently considered by the vendor to have 'excellent', bodywork, paintwork, competition engine and five-speed manual gearbox and, the veteran of a mere 10 races, is now ready to commence an exciting new life. Mr Brodie has kindly volunteered to advise a new owner on the correct ‘running in’ procedure for the powerplant.

CHASSIS EB1998 The beautifully proportioned Elite arguably looks as good today as when it took the London Motorshow by storm in 1957. Dubbed Lotus Type 14, it was not only Colin Chapman's first production road car but the world's first fibreglass monocoque, and was the work of Peter KirwanTaylor, aerodynamicist Frank Costin and John Frayling. The engine, gearbox and front suspension were mounted on a steel subframe bonded into the front of the monocoque, as was a windscreen hoop that provided roll-over protection and mounting points for the door hinges and jacking point. The all-round independent suspension was via wishbones

at the front and Chapman struts at the rear. The first 250 bodies were manufactured by Maximar Holdings of Pulborough, while the ensuing c.780 (retrospectively dubbed Series 2 cars) were produced by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, and featured triangulated trailing arms for superior toe-in control. Power was provided by the all-aluminium Coventry Climax FWE SOHC straight-four engine of 1216cc, that had been derived from a water pump unit more usually bolted to a fire truck. With a drag coefficient of 0.29 (a figure that still impresses today) the top speed of this modestly powered sports car was anything up to 120mph. As intended, the Elite proved to be a winner on the track, claiming six class victories at Le Mans as well as two Thermal Efficiency awards.

1910 STANLEY MODEL 60 10HP STEAM CAR 1 of just 352 made and formerly raced in the USA

ESTIMATE £50000 - 60000*

Having made a fortune from selling their photographic dry plate business to Eastman Kodak, twins Francis E. Stanley and Freelan O. Stanley built their first steam car in Lewiston, Maine during 1897. Two years later Freelan and his wife Flora became the first motorists to successfully scale Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the highest peak in the Northeast United States. Suitably impressed by the twins' design, publishing magnate J.B. Walker offered them $250,000 for it on the proviso that they also became general managers of the newly formed Locomobile Company of America. Striking out on their own again in 1902 as the Stanley Motor Carriage Company, Francis and Freelan came up with ever more efficient models. A switch from rear- to front-mounted boilers for 1906 resulted in Stanley cars adopting coffinlike noses, while that same year witnessed Fred Marriott pilot the Stanley 'Woggle-Bug' racer to a new World Land Speed Record of 127.66mph for the flying measured mile. Thoroughly revamped for 1910, Stanley's 10hp range gained a larger, more powerful engine and new longer wheelbase (104-inch), wider tracked (56-inch) chassis. Still equipped with fully-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear wheel brakes, the newcomer eschewed leather mudguards in favour of more durable steel wings. Allocated 60-series nomenclature, the improved 10hp was available in Model 60 two-seater or Model 61 four-seater guises. Though, the former could be specified with a single or double rumble seat which was fixed or folding. Priced at $850, the Model 60 10hp Runabout accounted for some 352 sales in 1910. Rumoured to have raced in Pomona, Los Angeles County during the late teens / early 1920s, this particular example - chassis 5491 - retains a 1922 California State registration document. Surviving black and white photos show the Stanley configured as a competition car, while colour images prove that much of its original woodwork survived into the twenty-first century. Dilapidated but mechanically

complete when bought by Geary Baese of Fort Collins, Colorado, the Model 60 underwent a fair degree of restoration before he sold it to fellow steam car enthusiast Colin May CEng of North Yorkshire during 2006 for $54,000. Attracted to the project because of its originality and provenance, the latter set about returning the 10hp to its initial Runabout specification including the purchase of a replacement Bourdon Boiler Works boiler fabricated from quarter-inch rolled plate carbon steel. Finished in Brewster Green with Pale Yellow chassis and wheels (a livery introduced for the 1910 season), the Stanley was UK road registered as 'BF 4908' on August 22nd 2008. Entering the current ownership two years later, the Model 60 has been extensively reworked and improved with input from specialist steam restorers J.R. Goold, Don English and Preston Services. Having served an engineering apprenticeship, the vendor took a hands-on approach to matters re-designing much of the pipework and adding extra gauges for propane, steam chest and lubrication oil pressure. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and running gear, the 10hp Runabout is said to possess 'excellent climbing performance' and to be capable of over 40mph. Not steamed since its last boiler inspection certificate expired on August 2nd 2018, the Model 60 will require

recommissioning prior to road use something the vendor is happy to advise on or assist with (depending upon location). An auxiliary Weir water pump has been plumbedin to help fill the boiler (usable down to 100psi). Starting on pure petrol but running on a 50:50 petrol / diesel mixture, the heater uses a pilot light with its own 2 x 3.9kg cylinder auto changeover propane system (seen working during our recent photography session). Riding on correct diameter Ford Model T wheels, plans were made to convert the Runabout's headlights to halogen and install a kit for measuring fore and aft water pump pressures. However, the challenges of owning, maintaining and operating a 109-year old Steam Car in Central London have allowed the vendor to become distracted by other projects. The recipient of hundreds of hours of development work over the past nine years, this unusually original Stanley is accompanied by a large, two-volume history file.

1957 AC ACE BRISTOL The unique St Lucian Ace and fitted with BS1 MK3 race engine

ESTIMATE £220000 - 260000*

Introduced in October 1953, the AC Ace was essentially a reworked version of 'LOY 500' the striking John Tojeirodesigned sports racer with which motor trader Cliff Davis had notched up six wins and four seconds that season (in addition to placing ninth overall at the Goodwood NineHours). Lured into collaboration with the Thames Ditton manufacturer by the promise of a £5 per car royalty fee (capped at £500), Tojeiro ensured that the new model's ladder-framed tubular chassis enjoyed the same handling prowess as its competition forebear by equipping it with allround independent transverse-leaf suspension. Styled after 'LOY 500' (itself modelled on the Carrozzeria Touring clad Ferrari 166 MM Barchettas), the Ace was arguably even more handsome. Initially powered by AC's own 1991cc OHC engine, the availability from February 1956 onwards of another straight-six in the guise of Bristol's tuneable 1971cc unit gave the aluminium bodied sports car a welcome boost in both sales and performance. Upgraded with optional Girling front disc brakes in 1957, Ace Bristols achieved considerable success at Le Mans (1957: 10th o/a & 2nd i/c, 1958: 8th o/a & 2nd i/c, 1959: 7th o/a & 1st i/c) as well as dominating the Sports Car Club of America's production championship for classes E (1957-1959), D (1960) and C (1961). Phased out during 1962, just 466 AC Ace Bristols are thought to have left the Thames Ditton factory. Any AC Ace Bristol is a desirable car. Truly wonderful to drive and eligible for some of the world’s greatest motoring events, the model has long been treasured by the cognoscenti. However, BEX349 remains unique among its siblings. The only AC Ace to have been supplied new to the right-hand drive market of St Lucia in the British West Indies (unless we have misread the Factory Records reproduced in Rinsey Mills’ authoritative tome ‘AC SixCylinder Sports Cars In Detail’), it left the Works on 17th September 1957 bound for Peter & Co; an import /export business and coal supplier to the shipping industry. On the face of it, a 120mph sports car seems an odd choice for the inhabitant of a Caribbean island occupying just 238 square miles unless of course he / she was interested in competition. Popular among racers in North and South

America, no fewer than five AC Ace Bristols contested the Venezuelan Sports Car Grand Prix on November 3rd 1957 (the best placed car of Gutierrez / Deblin finishing 5th-inclass). Indeed, concessionaire Juan Fernandez ensured that Venezuela was one of AC’s largest export destinations. Despite bearing numerous signs of past competition usage including a Bristol BS1 MK3 race engine as fitted to Cooper Bristol single-seaters etc, additional steering box brace, sleeved chassis tube (where it sits in proximity to the exhaust manifolds) and aeroscreen mounting holes, it is unknown whether BEX349 ever took to a South American

circuit. Interestingly, page 92 of ‘Ace Bristol Racing – A Competition History’ by John McLellan and Tony Bancroft shows a right-hand drive, Svecia Red car in the paddock at a SCCA meeting. It is probably pure coincidence but the ex-St Lucia machine was originally painted the same hue and is known to have spent time in America before being repatriated by well-known financier and car collector Michael Campbell Bowling during 1989.

Treated to an extensive photographically documented ‘chassis up’ restoration that same year, the AC subsequently participated in three Ecurie Ecosse Highland Tours, three RAC Norwich Union Rallies, the 1991 Tuscany Historic Tour and the 1993 RAC Nurburgring-Spa Historic Rally. Purchased by its next custodian, J.L.S. Maclay, via Sotheby’s 15th July 1996 auction at the RAF’s Hendon Museum, ‘OSU 187’ was subsequently issued with a FIVA Identity Card.

Entering the current family ownership twenty years ago, BEX349 is the last in a considerable line of AC Aces to pass through their hands. A driver of some note whose period exploits are mentioned in the McLellan and Bancroft book, the vendor’s father had the two-seater stripped to bare aluminium and refinished in its initial Svecia Red livery (Campbell Bowling had preferred BRG). Retrimmed in Black leather with Red piping and benefiting from an engine overhaul at the hands of Mike Robinson during 1999-2000 too, the AC was granted a Historic Vehicle Identity Form by the FIA two years later. Enjoyed on various Continental sorties by the vendor and his father, usually as part of the TOPS Club Team, BEX349 came second behind Philippe Renault’s Jaguar C-Type in the sportscar race at the 2002 Tunis Retro Grand Prix meeting and also contested the Rally de Paris, Vernasca Hillclimb, Ollon-Villars Hillclimb and Aintree Revival. Kept in a temperature-controlled environment but little used over the past five / six years, the Ace Bristol is only now available due to other commitments. Starting readily upon inspection, the two-seater is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. As a drum braked machine, ‘OSU 187’ can be entered for more historic racing events / series than a later disc braked example. Pre-1958 Ace Bristols are potentially eligible for the Mille Miglia Storica, Le Mans Classic, Goodwood Revival and a host of other Blue Ribband events. BEX349 should reward more detailed research into its past but even without such digging it remains a compelling prospect. Offered for sale with manual, original AC brochure, AC Owners’ Club Dating Letter, restoration photos, FIVA Identity Card (expired), FIA HVIF (expired) and sundry other paperwork.

1966 AUSTIN-HEALEY 3000 MKIII

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £40000 - 45000*

Donald Healey’s eponymous company built a prototype twoseater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motorshow. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. Dubbed the ‘Healey Hundred’, the Ice Blue machine so excited Austin’s Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that a deal was struck to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin Healey 100 and the rest is history. The model enjoyed steady development with the four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was followed by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final iteration was the 3000 MKIII, which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) the following May. Production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs. This Phase 2 example rolled off the Abingdon production line on January 14th 1965 and was despatched to the dealer in New York two months later. The accompanying Heritage Certificate shows it to have been equipped with wire wheels, overdrive, heater, adjustable steering column and a laminated windscreen, all of which desirable items were still evident when it returned to these shores in 1995, at which point it was converted to right-hand drive. Since acquiring the Healey in 2006 the vendor has equipped it with electronic ignition, a side-exhaust system, anti-roll bar, and replacement dampers. ‘MVG 130C’ has apparently flown through its last seven MOT tests with no advisories, and is currently considered by the vendor to have ‘very good’ Red interior trim and ‘good’ bodywork, White paintwork, sixcylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox. He is now offering the car complete with the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, sundry invoices and several old MOT certificates, plus one valid into September.

CHASSIS J691R41950BW For many, the Series II Jaguar E-Type represents a great combination of design, practicality and value for money. Unveiled in October 1968, the model included improvements in safety and emissions standards to comply with US market regulations, providing such practicalities as fully-reclining seats with headrests, recessed door handles and one-piece bumpers. Under the bonnet, the 4,235cc 6-cylinder OHC was carried over from the previous series but benefitted from improved cooling and better brakes. The result was a purposeful and practical sports car, especially in the fourseater layout of the 2+2 Coupe.

The Heritage Certificate shows this example was built in May 1969 as a 2+2 Coupe with an automatic gearbox, a factory option solely available for that body style. Destined for the US market, its coachwork was finished in metallic brown 'Sable' with tan leather interior, a combination very in keeping with its era. The history file shows the car was imported to the UK in 1990 and converted to right-hand drive, and five years ago it underwent a substantial body and mechanical restoration including a repaint in its original colour. The car is now described as having 'excellent' interior and mechanicals and features triple Weber DCOE carburettors in place of the emission-controlled Zenith-Stromberg units that would have been fitted in the US. The odometer shows 74,000 miles which is supported by MOTs as far back as 1996.

For many, the quintessential VW Type 2 is the earliest model, whose twin front windscreens gave it the nickname 'splitscreen' or 'splittie'. Built in Germany until 1967 and then under license in Brazil, the Type 2 came with a variety of body styles including commercials, a Kombi with removable rear seats, and the enduring camper. This left-hand drive VW Type 2 was constructed in Brazil in 1967 from parts reportedly shipped from Germany in 1965. It was imported to the UK in 2013/14 after which the vendor commissioned a comprehensive restoration. It now presents very well as a 15-window bus with a tasteful full interior camper conversion including oak bench tops, electric sink, dual gas cooker and a double 'rock & roll' bed. A Kenwood sound system and Wolfsburg West seat belts top off the restoration. Significant mechanical refinements were also made, with bills showing a full refurbishment of the 1600cc unit by renowned engine builder Harry Harpic with MoFoCo cylinder heads, genuine horsehair filters and Solex carburettors. The fourspeed gearbox was rebuilt by Pete Englezos from Cogbox, then installed with an EMPI short shifter gear stick. The vehicle, offered with V5 and extensive history file, is now described by the vendor as in 'excellent' condition throughout. A unique bus, it combines the enduring appeal of the 'Splitscreen' with many sympathetic modern interior and mechanical elements that will undoubtedly make it a wonderful place to camp or enjoy as a family classic.

1992 FERRARI 512 TR 1 of just 88

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £100000 - 120000*

Ferrari's mid-engined, flat-12 Testarossa was unveiled to an expectant media at the Champs-Élysées' Lido nightclub on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon. Though an evolution of the 512BBi, it was of markedly different appearance with large, slatted intake ducts leading from the doors into the rear quarter panels; it was nearly 6in wider than its predecessor. By the time of the 1992 Los Angeles Auto Show, the model had been heavily re-engineered and relaunched as the 512 TR. The many improvements included: uprated engine with broader power curve and higher peak figure of 428bhp; swifter gearchange; uprated braking; quicker steering; lower profile tyres; superior suspension settings; repositioned engine and gearbox, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and improved weight distribution. This distinctive-looking 512 was supplied new by the UK importer Maranello Concessionaires to a Mr Simon Draper on May 22nd 1992. Only 88 examples of the model were apparently manufactured with right-hand drive, of which the appropriately registered '512 GUV' is one of just 50 early non-ABS cars. Remaining in its current ownership since 2004, the Prancing Horse has had six keepers to date, who've amassed the pleasingly low total of 30,350 miles between them. Previous service work was carried out by marque specialist Bob Houghton, while ongoing attention and maintenance has included a re-bushing of the suspension, the installation of a stainless steel exhaust system, plus a respray, which took place around four years ago. The vendor presently regards the TR as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, Grey interior trim, flat-12cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox, and is now offering this rare Ferrari complete with its full book pack with service book, 512 parts catalogue and sales brochure, a pair of keys and alarm fobs, and a collection of old MOTs, plus one valid into May of next year.

CHASSIS SCBLC32E8YCH04154 The Bentley Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were phased in during the spring of 1998 as replacements for derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne (Bentley) and Silver Spirit (Rolls-Royce). In a break with tradition, it was decided the bodies for the new cars would be built at the Bentley factory in Crewe, while the engines would be outsourced. Initially available as a single model, the Arnage was powered by a DOHC 4.4-litre BMW engine force fed by twin turbochargers. However, it was around this time that Bentley passed into the hands of the Volkswagen Group and Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW. Not surprisingly,

BMW declined to see a rival marque powered by one of their engines, so Volkswagen were forced to find an alternative power plant for the Arnage. In fact, they sourced two and created the option of the Arnage Red Label and Arnage Green Label, thereby reviving names from Bentley's glorious vintage period. The Red Label was powered by a Cosworthbuilt version of the Bentley's stalwart single-turbo OHV 6.75-litre V8, as fitted to the company's Turbo R model - this delivered a stump-pulling 616 lb ft of torque. The Green Label on the other hand utilised a Bentley-modified version of the Arnage's original BMW unit. Coincident with the change in engines, the models were treated to additional legroom, a stiffer bodyshell, larger brakes accommodated by bigger wheels and an increased specification including integrated satellite navigation and park distance control.

1932 ALVIS 12/50 TJ ATLANTIC SALOON Single family ownership from 1971-2018

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £16000 - 20000*

Introduced in August 1923, the 12/50 was responsible for placing Alvis firmly on the motor manufacturers' map. Relentlessly honed by chief engineer Capt. G.T. Smith Clarke, it went on to become one of the quintessential Vintage sports cars offering quite exceptional roadholding and performance for its class. Briefly discontinued in 1929 when Alvis placed all its eggs in the front-wheel drive basket (FWD FA - 8/15 models), it was hurriedly reintroduced during September 1930 and is widely credited with saving the marque. Built around a super-strong 9ft 4.5in wheelbase platform chassis frame, the 12/50 TJ featured all round semielliptic leaf-sprung suspension, cable-operated drum brakes and a high-geared steering box. Powered by a torquey, free-revving 1645cc OHV four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed (right-hand change) crash gearbox most variants were capable of some 75 - 80 mph. Rugged, versatile and brimful of character, the 12/50 enjoys a special place in many enthusiasts' hearts. Beginning life as a Carbodies Atlantic Saloon, chassis 9771 was first registered by Manchester Council on 29th July 1932. Little is known about the Alvis's early history but an accompanying green logbook shows that it was briefly reconfigured as an Open Tourer during the 1960s. Acquired by Michael Jacklin Esq. of Louth in June 1971 - by which time it sported Atlantic Saloon coachwork once more - the 12/50 was to remain in his family until February 2018 when it entered the current ownership. A marque enthusiast, the vendor treated 'XJ 2151' to a bare metal respray, stainless steel exhaust, rewiring, rejuvenated ignition system, fresh carpets and new rear springs so as to make it an 'extremely smart and very usable Post-Vintage Thoroughbred Saloon'. Only being offered for sale due to the recent purchase of his father's old Riley, this handsome Alvis comes with a history file and current MOT certificate.

CHASSIS 102526 Until the unveiling of the Dart at the 1959 New York Auto Show, Daimler was renowned for making stately, if unexciting, limousines. The Dart, marketed in the US as the SP250 to avoid a law suit from Dodge who already owned the name, was something very different. A two-seater sports convertible, it had a 2,548cc V8, a state-of-the-art fibreglass body and disc brakes all round. The result was a very quick car for the era: 0-60mph in nine seconds and a top speed of 120mph. It's no wonder the Metropolitan Police bought Darts to track the fastest sports cars then on the road.

However, early cars were not without their issues. Bumpers were an optional extra leaving the cars vulnerable to knocks, chassis flex was so bad there were stories of doors flying open under hard cornering, and steering was slow. The chassis flex and other problems were addressed by the 'B Spec' cars, released after Jaguar took over Daimler in 1960. This right-hand drive 1961 SP250, is one such 'B Spec' car. The subject of a photographically-recorded restoration, it also has other, sensible upgrades: the brakes now have servo assistance and a rack and pinion steering system has replaced the old worm and peg design.

1965 ALVIS TE21 DROPHEAD COUPE 1 of only 18 automatic examples known to have survived

REG NO

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £40000 - 50000*

Introduced in late 1963, the Alvis TE21 was visually distinguished from its Graber-inspired predecessor by elegant stacked headlights. Underpinned by a box-section chassis equipped with independent front suspension, a well-located ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer could be had in two-door Saloon or Drophead Coupe guises. Bodied in steel with aluminium opening panels by coachbuilder Park Ward, the TE21 benefited from a new cylinder head for its 2993cc OHV straight-six engine which boosted power to 130bhp. Available with a choice of five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, the model boasted a 110mph top speed. Wire wheels were optional as was power steering (from late 1964 onwards). Available to special order even after the TF21 arrived in March 1966, total TE21 production amounted to just 352 cars. One of just eighteen automatic transmission TE21 Drophead Coupes known to have survived (from twenty-two made), chassis 27262 was initially finished in Metallic Beige with Beige leather upholstery; the same livery it sports today. Supplied new by W.J. Skelly Ltd to T.T. Young & Co Ltd of Edinburgh, the Alvis later belonged to local architect William Kininmonth and John Reynolds of Berkshire before migrating to New Zealand and the care of Hamish Linton. The latter is pictured driving the four-seater around a racetrack in Kenneth Day’s authoritative tome ‘Alvis, The Story of the Red Triangle’. ‘CWS 33C’ also appears in ‘The Complete Encyclopaedia of Sports Cars’ by Rob de la Rive Box. Repatriated via marque specialist Red Triangle in 1990, they continued to maintain it (alongside others) for Tim Roberts between then and 2007. Entering the current ownership that same year, the TE21 DHC has since been treated to a new hood bag, refurbished interior, electronic ignition, overhauled carburettors, replacement sills, rejuvenated rear springs, halogen headlights and rolling road tuning. Equipped with power steering, ‘CWS 33C’ won its class at the 2011 Petwood Concours d’Elegance. Recently serviced, it is MOT tested until April 2020.

UM 4926

CHASSIS 88450 When the prototype Morris Oxford was displayed at the North of England Motor Show in Manchester in February 1913, it was still very much a work in progress and fitted with a dummy wooden cylinder block. After significant personal investment, bicycle manufacturer William Morris needed his first car, named after his home town, to sell quickly and by the end of March 1913 the first example was off to its new owner. A torpedo-bodied two-seater in pearl grey, it was the first of over 154,000 Morris Oxfords that were produced until 1927.

The Oxford received a mid-life upgrade in 1919 gaining a larger and stronger chassis, improved interior and electricals, and a new engine: first the 11.9hp Hotchkiss, then the 1802cc '14/28' which became standard in 1925 as did fourwheel brakes. Production of the Morris Oxford, nicknamed the 'Bullnose' after its distinctive prominent radiator, peaked in that year when over 54,000 were built giving Morris 42% of Britain's car production. This wonderfully presented Morris Oxford 'Bullnose' was one of the 1925 models originally finished as a car and was registered in Leeds as 'UM 4926'. Six years ago, it was subjected to a photo-documented restoration described by the vendor as 'ground up' and has completed just 300 miles

since. At the time, the decision was made to change the body to that of a commercial, finished in keeping with those of the era. A matching trailer, believed to have been originally built for the General Post Office, was restored and finished in the same brown paintwork. The vendor now describes the bodywork, paint, electrical equipment and gearbox as 'very good' and the engine and interior as 'excellent'. This great example of a popular early British vehicle comes with a V5, new MOT and history file. A very unusual combination, it would make a great addition to any collection.

1992 DAX TOJEIRO Professionally built by the vendor and just 3,000 miles

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £25000 - 30000*

DJ Sportscars introduced its Dax Cobra replica at the 1983 London Motorfair. Intended to accommodate a range of Ford and Chevrolet V8 engines, the newcomer's tubular spaceframe chassis was clothed with lightweight fibreglass. Joining DJ Sportscars as a director in 1985, John Tojeiro - the original designer of the AC Ace (which morphed into the Cobra) - brought with him a wealth of credibility and engineering expertise. More than just a name on the company's letterhead, Tojeiro helped rework the Cobra replica, which was renamed the Dax Tojeiro in his honour, and also contributed to subsequent GT40 and Rush projects. The most famous and successful of the British Cobra replicas, the Dax (now known as the Dax 427) has been continuously evolved and remains in production today. Correctly road registered as a 'Dax Tojeiro' rather than retaining the identity of its donor, this particular example was built by the vendor. A garage owner and sometime drag racer who knew John Tojeiro personally, he ensured that the two-seater has plenty of bite! Thoroughly overhauled and uprated to 280bhp by Basset Down Balancing Ltd of Hungerford, the Ford Windsor 351ci (5.7 litre) V8 engine is allied to Toyota Supra five-speed manual transmission. Breathing via an Edelbrock inlet manifold / Holley fourbarrel carburettor and side exhaust pipes, the powerplant sounds suitably dramatic and has recently been treated to a new high capacity radiator and fresh battery following a period of inactivity. Riding on correct-type Halibrand alloy wheels shod with BF Goodrich tyres, the Cobra replica also boasts a snug-fitting hood and tonneau cover, 200mph speedometer, wood veneer dashboard inlays / door cappings, Britax harnesses and Dax pedals. Aluminium spoilers either side of the front oil cooler aperture help reduce high-speed lift. Displaying just 3,000 miles to its odometer and only being offered for sale due to ill health, this fearsome Dax Tojeiro is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.

IO 827

CHASSIS 6581 Introduced at the 1912 Paris Salon, Austin's 20hp was available with a choice of three wheelbases and coachwork varying from Two-Seater Tourer to Six / Seven-Seater Landaulette. Notable for its torque and smoothness, the newcomer's 3160cc (later 3610cc) four-cylinder sidevalve engine featured a dual ignition system (coil and magneto), five-bearing crankshaft, low pressure-fed lubrication and separate camshafts for the inlet and exhaust valves. A four-speed gearbox was provided, and suspension followed proven Austin practice with semi-elliptic leaf springs up front

and full-elliptics at the rear. A substantial torque arm kept the back axle in check. Performance was bodystyle-dependent but contemporary road testers found a Five-Seater Tourer capable of cruising at 50mph. Notably as the only Austin car to be produced during WW1, the 20hp was phased out in 1919. Thought to have begun life in Eire, if only because of its Co. Kildare issued registration number 'IO 827', a continuation logbook on file shows that this rare surviving 20hp belonged to Essex resident Robert Hames by July 1965. Passing to Sidney Dale, Alec Norman (Garages) Ltd, Peter Beck and Maddox & Kirby Ltd thereafter, it has been owned by The Marshall Group of Cambridge since 1980. Used for a

variety of pageants and parades over the years (including as Santa's Sleigh on occasion) and maintained in-house, the Austin was entrusted to restorer John Foy Ltd for £6,839.70 worth of recommissioning in 2013. Further benefiting from a new radiator core the following year (£2,364), 'IO 827' was laid-up once more. Recently got running by VCC member Martin Whitlock (albeit he had to jury rig a starting coil because the 20hp's own one is missing), this handsome Austin is very much worthy of further recommissioning / restoration. Accompanying paperwork includes a Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Certificate of Dating issued on 9th June 1965 which notes: 'replica mudguards and nearside front wheel hub' as well as assorted bills and old MOTs etc.

1973 LANCIA FULVIA 1600 HF LUSSO 1 of c.400 RHD cars and credible 51,000 miles from new

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ESTIMATE £12000 - 16000*

Brainchild of legendary engineer Antonio Fessia, the Fulvia derived its name from a Roman road that connected Tortona to Torino. Launched at the 1963 Geneva Salon as a four-door Saloon, the newcomer was styled inhouse by Piero Castagnero who also penned a two-door Coupe derivative that entered production in 1965. Utilising the same independent front suspension, well-located beam rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes as its existing sibling, but sat on a 150mm shorter wheelbase, the Fulvia Coupe was among the best handling cars of the 1960s / 1970s. The work of Zaccone Mina, its narrow angle DOHC V4 engine ranged in size from 1216cc to 1584cc and was allied to four- or (later) five-speed manual transmission. Responsible for Lancia's first official foray into motorsport since withdrawing from F1 during 1955, the Fulvia Coupe placed 8th overall on its competitive debut, the 1965 Tour de Corse. Winning the Italian Rally Championship every year from 1965-1973 (except 1970), the Works Cars fielded by Cesare Fiorio also scooped the 1972 International Championship for Manufacturers with two rounds to spare. One of just 400 or so right-hand drive Lancia Fulvia 1600 HF cars made (from a total production run of 3,670), this particular example has been in the current family ownership since the late 1970s and as such is believed to have covered just 51,000 miles from new. Treated to an extensive `bare metal' restoration by marque specialist Paxton Garage of Wrexham in 1991-1992, the Lancia had its bodywork re-metalled as necessary and attention paid to the brakes, suspension, engine and gearbox (though, the original interior was mainly preserved). Covering some 1,600 miles over the next ten years, the Fulvia has been in dry storage since 2002. Recently got going by feeding fuel directly to the carburettors, the engine recorded strong oil pressure. Remarkably presentable given its inactivity, this rare RHD 1600HF is offered for sale with original handbook and history file.

CHASSIS ZFFLD14C000043179 The Mondial revived a name from Ferrari's past and was a mid-engind 2+2-seater manufactured from 1980 to 1993. A successor to the Bertone penned 308 GT4, it was designed by Pininfarina and available as a Coupe or Cabriolet. The construction was unconventional, with the steel outer body outsourced to Carrozzeria Scaglietti mated to a lightweight steel box-section chassis - the bonnet and boot lids were constructed in aluminium. The engine, five-speed manual gearbox and rear suspension were all mounted on a detachable steel subframe for ease of servicing and repair. Suspension was independent all-round by wishbones and

coil springs, the braking by discs and the steering by rack and pinion. Most of the 6,800 Mondials produced were finished in traditional Rosso Red, but a few were Black, Silver or Blue. The car was initially powered by a transversely mounted, Bosch fuel-injected version of the 3.0-litre V8 also employed in the 308 GTBi. Power output was increased in 1982 thanks to a four-valve version of the same engine, whose combustion chamber design was reputedly based on an F1 unit of the period. The resulting 240bhp was sufficient to propel the Quattrovalvole to 60mph in 6.4 seconds and on to a maximum of around 150mph.

Recent maintenance has included: a gearbox overhaul; general mechanical work to the value of £12,000 (2017); and a new clutch and drive belts. The vendor informs us that the Prancing Horse 'runs and drives very well' and judges it to have 'excellent' five-speed manual transmission that was subject to a refresh some years ago, 'very good' bodywork, interior trim and V8 engine, and 'good' paintwork. 'FLC 718Y' is offered complete with a comprehensive service history (27 stamps), all its original handbooks, tool kit and an MOT valid until April 4th next year.

In 1967/68, a small number of Jaguar E-Types were sold with some of the Series 2 advancements. Unofficially known as the ‘Series 1.5’ cars, such practicalities as adjustable seats and twin cooling fans were in, while cowled headlamps were out.

Ferruccio Lamborghini launched Lamborghini Trattori in 1948, his early tractors utilising war surplus truck and military vehicle engines and differentials as their basis. Within a few years production had increased to 200 units a year whilst Italian-made engines replaced the dwindling supplies of war era stock. The twin-cylinder DL30 became available in 1952, featuring an OHV 26hp engine displacing some 1810cc driving through a four-speed manual gearbox with reverse gear.

Before the model's manufacture was brought in-house, production of the early versions of the Targa-topped XJ-SC were outsourced to the established British coachbuilder Tickford. 'C612 TFL' is one of the rare Tickford-built examples, made even rarer by having its 3.6-litre engine drive through a manual rather automatic gearbox, which was the more common choice at the time. The vendor informs us that the right-hand drive, ‘home market’ Jaguar is unrestored and has been owned by a long-term Jaguar enthusiast and collector. It has apparently only had light use in the last few years and is said to 'drive tightly with a crisp gearchange'. The vendor's current overall view of the car is that it has an 'excellent' fivespeed transmission, 'very good' bodywork, Dorchester Grey (Metallic Silver) paintwork and Red leather interior trim, and 'good' electrical equipment. He's now offering it complete with a good history file and current MOT valid into June next year.

The Hornet was the first new model offered by Wolseley following the company's takeover by Sir William Morris in 1927. The subsequent Hornet Specials featured an underslung rear axle and were powered by a twin carburettor, high-compression, crossflow head version of Wolseley's 1271cc OHC engine. Some 2,300 such bare rolling chassis were supplied for clothing by Avon, Abbey, Swallow, Cunard, and London Wolseley dealer Eustace Watkins.

Acquired and restored in 2014 by renowned Lamborghini specialists Colin Clarke Engineering, the example offered here was originally supplied by Beninca, whose supplier's plate it retains to this day. Described as being in "excellent" condition regarding its bodywork, engine, electrics, paintwork and gearbox, this delightful tractor is in full running order and was recently displayed at both Goodwood Revival and St John's Wood Show. NOVA registered and complete with its old Italian registration document and photographic record of the restoration, it has covered a minimal mileage since completion and would grace any collection or be ideal for the show circuit.

This ‘home market’ RHD 1968 4.2 Series 1.5 2+2-seater is reportedly just one of 404 built and so a very rare find. The vendor states that it ‘drives superbly’ and its ‘engine pulls smoothly through the rev range and through all gears’. With only three previous owners including the vendor, the Red coachwork and original Black leather interior are described as being in ‘good condition’. The car shows 85,000 miles, a credible figure apparently supported by old MOTs and invoices. The car passed an MOT in November 2017 (now MOT exempt) and hasn’t been used since, the vendor noting that the car is ‘totally sound underneath’ and has the potential to be improved further by a new, enthusiast owner.

The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either: (a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively) (b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.

4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.

8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.

5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the

9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made: (a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller

9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission. 10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk. 10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer. 10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer. 10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier. 10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.

11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer. CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER 12.1 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. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary. 12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal. 12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again. 12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides. 12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale. 13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name. 13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so. Where the

119

Auctioneer executes bids on behalf of an absent bidder, each Lot will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and any relevant Reserve. 14. The Buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer in respect of each Lot the Buyer’s Commission calculated on the Hammer Price at the stated rates as set out above. 15. Where a Lot is described in the Catalogue or announced at the time of Sale as being subject to VAT on import, VAT will be payable in addition to the Hammer Price (which VAT may or may not be refundable by HM Customs & Excise on proof of export). 16.1 Upon the sale of a Lot, the Buyer shall: 16.2 Unless he has already done so, complete a Bidder’s Registration Form as in Condition 12.5 above; 16.3 Pay to the Auctioneer the total amount due, at latest by midday on the day after the Sale, notwithstanding that where the Buyer wishes to export the Lot, an export licence may be required which must be obtained by the Buyer at his own cost; 16.4 Accept that any payments received by the Auctioneer from a Buyer may be applied by the Auctioneer towards any sums owing from that Buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatsoever, without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied. 17.1 Until the total amount due has been received by the Auctioneer: (a) title in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer but the risk shall; (b) no Lot may be taken away by or on behalf of the Buyer. 17.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges and any other Expenses on any Lot not paid for and taken away by 1pm on the day following the day of the sale. 18.1 If a Buyer fails either to pay for or to take away any Lot, the Auctioneer may without further notice to the Buyer, at its discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies, as may be relevant, in relation to any and all remedies for non-payment that the Auctioneer may choose to exercise. The Buyer will pay to the Auctioneer all legal and other costs borne by it on a full indemnity basis. 18.2 To charge interest at a rate not exceeding 3% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3 for the first two months. After that period of time to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.75% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3.

18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions. 18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed. 18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller. 18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot. 18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due. 18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose. 18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future. 19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not. 19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot. GENERAL CONDITIONS 20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.

21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable. 22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers. 23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot. 24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation. The Buyer and the Seller consent to such data being kept and used for appropriate purposes, including informing the Buyer and the Seller of any offers or other matters of interest from time to time. 25. The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of the Auctioneer, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, shall require the prior written consent of the Auctioneer. 26. If any Condition or part of a condition in these Terms shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining Conditions will not thereby be affected. 27. These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English Law. Each of the Auctioneer, the Seller, the Buyer and any bidder hereby submits to non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
