The Issuing Authority can refuse to issue new papers. Any prospective purchaser should check the position of the Lot prior to bidding.

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.

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 ‘exworks’ 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.

Removal of Lots A representative of our preferred transport provider E.M. Rogers 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.

1930 Austin Seven ‘Chummy’ Tourer

1

No Reserve* Reg No: YC 8194

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 103787 “One of the immortal designs in motoring history is the Austin Seven, for upon its introduction, it rendered the cycle-car obsolete, set a high standard for the economical car, and made motoring possible for the first time for thousands of families. It is surely no exaggeration to say that it was as great an advance in its own sphere as were the 1901 Mercedes and the 1907 RollsRoyce in theirs, capturing the imagination as few cars have done before or since” (Cecil Clutton, The Vintage Motor Car) Arguably the forefather of mass motoring ‘giants’ such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Citroen 2CV and BMC Mini, the Austin Seven was launched in 1922. An extremely versatile design, its simple but well executed A-frame, leaf-sprung chassis played host to a bewildering range of derivatives from Brooklands singleseaters to two-speed tractors (all powered by the ubiquitous, four-cylinder, sidevalve 747cc engine). Though, it is perhaps in the guise of a ‘Chummy’ tourer that the model is most fondly remembered. Continuing spares availability means that owning a Chummy in the 21st Century is still a practical proposition as well as being a great entry into the Vintage Sports Car Club. As with any car whose running gear seems nigh-on unbreakable many Sevens were plundered by post-WW2 ‘special’ builders or simply run into the ground.

First registered in Somerset on 22nd January 1930 (or so its number plate would imply), ‘YC 8194’ entered the current family ownership some eighty-seven years later on the understanding it was ‘a delightfully original and unmolested car’ that had been with its immediately preceding keepers for four decades.

Featured in the TV-series ‘Sam’ which ran from 1973-75 starring Mark McManus and Michael Goodlife, the diminutive fourseater has not been started or run for the last few years and as such will require recommissioning / refurbishment before use.

Accompanying paperwork includes the most recent purchase invoice for £10,800, V5C Registration Document and several old MOT certificates dating back to 1982.

1947 Riley RMA Saloon

2

No Reserve* Reg No: DAJ 22

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 37-S-13062 Notable as the final models to be designed before the marque’s absorption into BMC, the RM-Series cars are felt by many to be the last true Rileys. Announced in August 1945, the RMA was an elegant, four-light sports saloon. A true driver’s car, its chassis boasted independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and hydro-mechanical four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1496cc ‘twin cam’ four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the four-seater was capable of some 75mph. Deservedly popular in period, 10,504 RMAs were made.

Although, today survivors are a rare sight on UK roads.

Entering the current family ownership during May 2016 on the understanding that it was ‘a highly original Coventry-built RMA, only two owners and 65,200 miles indicated’, ‘DAJ 22’ has seen very little use since its last MOT certificate expired on 24th June 2017. As such, it will require recommissioning / refurbishment prior to road use. The Red leather upholstery looks to be original and aside from a split at the top of the driver’s seat has survived quite well. The earliest piece of paperwork on file is a MOT certificate issued by Knaphill Service Garage in Surrey on 25th June 1966. While, other documents show that the Riley was fitted with an Ekco Car Radio during July 1969 and MOT tested

by Taylor’s Garage Ltd of Penzance the following year. A series of errors by the DVLA have seen the Saloon listed as an MG on its V5C Registration Document with a single digit discrepancy over the chassis number too. However, it is hoped that the accompanying period literature plus assistance from The Riley RM Club should enable the mistakes to be corrected.

1967 Land Rover Series IIA 88

3

No Reserve* Reg No: LVO 579E

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 27107258C A sympathetic update of its much-loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. Featuring sill panels and a rounded wing / belt line, the newcomer’s sleeker sheetmetal was the work of David Bache and clothed an improved chassis. Thus as well as better rear wheel articulation and sharper steering, the Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox (complete with synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears).

Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel fourcylinder engines, the Land Rover could be had in 88-inch or 109inch wheelbase guises (though, the SWB model made do with a petrol 2-litre unit until September 1958). A popular model, the Series II accounted for some 62,000 sales in its first two years of production. Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system and the arrival of a 2.25-litre diesel engine. Export models had their headlamps repositioned in the front wings for 1968 with domestic Landies gaining the same revised visage the following year. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Series Land Rover ever made.

First registered in Nottinghamshire on May 1st 1967, this particular example entered the current family ownership forty-nine years later. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work including a respray and retrim, a rear window sticker attests to its presence at the 2002 Land Rover World Show. Not used for several years, this short wheelbase, diesel-powered Series IIA is now in need of recommissioning / refurbishment. The odometer currently shows an unwarranted 05,883 miles (could be 105,000 or 205,000?) which suggests that the Landie might have covered only twenty-three miles since passing its last MOT test on May 4th 2010. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document which notes just three previous keepers.

1983 Lister Jaguar XJ12 HE Saloon

4

No Reserve* Reg No: GBC 1V (formerly TJW 909Y)

MOT: None

Chassis No: SAJJBALW3CC354296 Lister’s Jaguar-powered sports racers in both ‘Knobbly’ and ‘Costin’ guises did much to uphold British prestige on the international stage in the time between Jaguar retiring the D-Type and Aston Martin refining the DBR1. Despite Brian Lister ceasing his competitive efforts after Rootes commissioned him to prepare two Sunbeam Tigers for the 1964 Le Mans 24-hours, the Lister name – especially in association with Jaguar – still had a powerful allure for enthusiasts some two decades on.

Renowned for his expertise with Jaguar engines, Ron Beatty of Forward Engineering joined forces with John Lewis and Ian Exeter to form B.L.E. Automotive which in turn revived the Lister Jaguar name but this time for road cars. Focusing its efforts on Jaguar’s magnificent V12 engine, B.L.E. Automotive converted a small number of XJ-S V12 Coupes and XJ12 Saloons before handing the Lister Jaguar baton over to WP Automotive of Surrey.

Supplied new via Reeve & Stedeford to Exeter Machine Tools (Forward Engineering’s parent company) on 8th April 1983 and first registered as ‘TJW 909Y’, this notably early Lister Jaguar road car was serviced by Forward Engineering and then B.L.E. Automotive from 17,106 miles in 1983 up to 79,413 miles four years later. Reported to have won its class in a production car race held at Donington Park during 1984 with Ian Exeter of B.L.E. Automotive behind the wheel, the uprated XJ12 was sold to Arnold Tool & Die Ltd of Surrey the following January. Last main dealer maintained by H.A. Fox of Guildford at 97,970 miles on 6th April 1989, the Sports Saloon entered the current family ownership on 6th February 1990 at c.106,000 miles. Re-registered as ‘GBC IV’, the four-seater’s most recent MOT test was seemingly on 16th November 1991 at 120,407 miles. Not run for many years, the modified XJ12 currently displays some 123,785 miles to its odometer. Surely worth saving, this appealing Lister Jaguar is offered for sale with V5 Registration Document and book pack.

1972 MG B Roadster

5

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: TST 659L

Chassis No: GHN5285933G

6

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* MOT: Exempt

Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan ‘Safety Fast’. Produced on 8th September 1972, this car left the factory as a classic chrome bumper MGB Roadster. When American Federal laws made an impact on stateside car design from 1974; this Roadster benefits from having the chrome that makes them so pretty. From the vendor’s records, it seems the car was once Black. Today, it wears a less oppressive Royal Blue BS106 paintwork.

Over the years the car has been the subject of mechanical and improvements to the bodywork. In February of 1995 the engine was overhauled, a body restoration took place a short time after. In 2000, the car saw some other work to rectify some issues with the bodywork. Jumping to 2021, a new clutch master cylinder was fitted and at a similar juncture, other additions included new door seals and a new carpet set. ‘TST 659L’ has amassed a large collection of invoices for work carried out and parts from specialist suppliers and, particularly from Edinburgh Sports Cars. Finished in Blue with a Cream interior and Black hood it also benefits from wire wheels, a luggage rack and a tonneau cover.

The MG is offered with a large collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.

1981 J.Z.R Honda Trike

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

Reg No: JOX 364W

Chassis No: JHMPC012200075

MOT: Exempt

The dream of J.Z.R founder John Ziemba was to ‘recapture the nostalgia of classic ’30’s style motoring for a fraction of the price of the real thing’. Produced in kit form, the kit contained a boxsection space frame chassis with welded steel side panels, and GRP front and tail sections.

Utilising a 1981 Honda CX 500 motorbike engine, this J.Z.R is understood to be the fourth kit. Passed through a couple of individuals who had assumed it was a Moto Guzzi kit rather than a Honda, the vendor purchased the ‘JOX 364W’ in 2003, while still in kit form requiring completion. The build took the subsequent twelve-month (approximate) period, with the J.Z.R taking to the road in 2004. Utilising the Honda 500 engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission, the Trike features desirable threewheel braking, rear-mounted fuel tank, and reversible cooling fan, allowing winter motoring with a heater, should the owner wish!

Finished in Green with Red interior upholstery, the vendor informs that he has covered many miles in the three-wheeler, including tours of the Yorkshire dale, with a displayed mileage of 49,819 miles (at the time of consignment). Said by the vendor to have been ‘very reliable’, ‘JOX 364W’ is offered with some previous invoices and MOT test certificates, literature relating to J.Z.R cars, and a current V5C document. A great balance of encapsulated classic ’30s Morgan styling and fun, with improved reliability!

1997 Jaguar XJ6 Executive 3.2

No Reserve* Reg No: P659 PWC

1959 BMW Isetta 300

8

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Chassis No: SAJJFALG3BP801167

MOT: June 2023

First registered on 30 June 1997 and presented in the appealing combination of Anthracite Pearl with contrasting Cream leather interior, this XJ6 Executive features including Air Conditioning and Leather seats which are otherwise optional extras on standard models and was purchased by the vendor through H&H Classics in July 2015 at the very venue it is offered for sale today. Since its purchase, it has been serviced every year by almost exclusively the same local garage, with the most recent on 26 June 2022, along with an air con regas at £290.27. ‘P659 PWC’ also recently benefited from the headlining being re-trimmed in June of this year, as well as a replacement Bosch battery in May. Now with just 47,701 warranted miles on the odometer and 3 former keepers on the V5C document, this XJ6 comes accompanied with an impressive history file. Included is the original bookpack containing driver’s handbook, quick reference guide, security system guide, sound system guide and the service booklet which contains 5 stamps up until 2001. In addition, and most impressively, MOT certificates every year from 2001 until 2022, apart from 2013 and 2014 when the vehicle was suspected off the road. Included with these MOT certificates are the accompanying invoices for nearly all, as well as details of servicing alongside these. From looking through the history file, it is clear that for the majority of its life, this vehicle has been looked after by almost exclusively main dealers and two separate local garages. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Very Good’, with the engine ‘Good’. Please note a hairline crack on the sump was identified in early July and has since been repaired.

Reg No: VCJ 147

Chassis No: A320218

MOT: Exempt

One of the more successful designs of the micro-car era was the BMW Isetta. By 1959 they were powered by a 297cc engine was reckoned capable of 65mph and 55mpg. Approximately 162,000 Isettas had been made by the time production ceased in 1962. This ‘big’ Isetta 300 The most memorable aspect of the design was the steering wheel and dashboard were attached to and moved with the opening fridge-like door to facilitate entry. From 1957, the two-seater Isetta incorporated sliding side windows for better ventilation.

This pretty and iconic Isetta micro-car was built in 1959 and has been in current ownership for the last 10 years and has been recommissioned last year with attention paid to the brakes and an overhaul of the carburettor. Described as being in ‘good overall condition’ and always garaged when not in use it is accompanied by a collection of old MOTs and the original owner’s handbook. ‘VCJ147’ was previously part of The Patrick Collection motor museum.

1984 Jaguar XJ-SC 3.6

9

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Reg No: B58 LNU

Chassis No: SAJJNACC7CC115214

10

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* MOT: T.B.A

The XJS was Jaguar’s replacement for the iconic E-Type. Based on the XJ Saloon, the Coupe made its first appearance in September 1975. The following year, the model took to the race tracks, taking first and second place in the Silverstone TT. The Cabriolet version, the XJ-SC, made its debut in 1983, equipped with the new 3.6-litre AJ6 engine. A 2+2 model, it was not a full convertible, having a nonremovable centre section and fixed cant rails.

Manufactured in 1984, this XJ-SC was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 8th of November that year. Fitted with the 3590cc straight-six engine allied to the rare and desirable five-speed Getrag manual transmission, the Jaguar is finished in Red with complementing Cream leather interior upholstery and a Black roof. In current (long-term) ownership from 1999, although showing an additional keeper change due to transferal from the vendors business into their private name, ‘B58 LNU’ has had just four former keepers and has covered just 60,751 miles from new (at time of consignment). Self-serviced annually by the (mechanically well-versed) vendor, the Jaguar is offered with a large number of MOTs, with the earliest dating from 1991, a workshop manual, and a current V5C document, as well as the previous logbook from when in the vendors business ownership. Due to be in the possession of a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale.

1937 Fiat 500 Topolino

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

Reg No: DXD 867

Chassis No: 013307

MOT: Exempt

Introduced in 1936, the Fiat 500 was designed by Dante Giacosa and Antonio Fessia. Positioning its 569cc four-cylinder engine ahead of the front wheels’ axis not only allowed the newcomer to accommodate four people within a diminutive 6ft 7in wheelbase but also saw it nicknamed Topolino (Mickey Mouse in Italian). More advanced than many rivals, the Fiat featured independent front suspension, 12-volt electrics, four-speed all-synchromesh transmission and fixed roof rails with a roll-back canvas top (the latter facilitating al fresco motoring). Reputedly capable of 55mph and 4550mpg, the 500’s UK price tag of £120 was barely more than that of an Austin Seven. A deservedly strong seller, some 112,000 were produced before the model underwent its first major revision in 1948.

Entered from a large private collection of micro and bubble cars, this delightful Topolino was supplied new to the UK in right-hand-drive, being registered on 19th March 1937. Reportedly the subject of much past restoration work, the more recent fettling has seen it completely rewired and engine refreshing. Finished in Cream over Dark Green – a colour scheme that accentuates its lines beautifully.

Potentially Mille Miglia Storica eligible should one be ambitious enough, this delightful Topolino has charm aplenty.

2002 Jaguar XKR 4.2 Coupe

11

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: BW02 RZR

Chassis No: SAJAC41R633A30062

1996 Saab 9000 Griffin 3.0 V6

12

No Reserve* MOT: November 2022

The XKR offered was supplied to the original owner on the 21st of August. Fitted with the 4196cc Jaguar supercharged V8 engine, the XKR is finished in Adriatic Blue Mica paintwork with Black leather. Previously owned by the Coronation Street actress, Rita Lester, ‘BW02 RZR’ was acquired by the vendor in 2018 and at the time of consignment has covered 68,578 miles from new, although has a displayed mileage of 49,969 miles having received a documented instrument cluster (with speedometer) change by Dunham Jaguar at 18,609 miles.

Well-specified from new with optional extras that included rear parking sensors, satellite navigation, in-built telephone, speed sensor, and desirable split-rim wheels, the Jaguar has been subject to much approvement while in the vendor’s ownership. This has included a replacement coil pack and speed sensor, bodywork renovations, and service in 2019; new headlining, front wishbone arms, and suspension remediation in 2020 (costing over £1,100); and another service in 2021. ‘BW02 RZR’ is offered with a history file which includes the original book pack with stamped service book displaying fifteen entries (the majority from Jaguar main dealers) as well as a collection of invoices for work completed, previous MOT certificates dating back to 2005, paperwork ownership relating to the ownership history, and a current V5C document. Shod with matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s allround, the XKR is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until November 2022.

Reg No: N829 EAR

Chassis No: YS3CM48W3T1012846

MOT: June 2023

Saab’s 9000 series launched in 1985 and brought a more clean-lined, aerodynamic, lower-nosed look to its model range. In 1992, Saab introduced the Griffin limited edition to the 2.3 Turbo (and the V6 later), which sported a higher leather, suede & wood trim specification. The 9000 was discontinued in 1997.

The 1996 Saloon 9000 Griffin on offer was supplied new via Continental Cars (Stanstead) Ltd. Fitted with the 2961cc V6 engine allied to the four-speed automatic transmission, the Saab is finished in Scarabe Green with Sand leather interior upholstery. Retained in first ownership for some eighteen years, ‘N829 EAR’ was purchased by the second (and only other owner private keeper) in 2014.

Covering a mere 77,872 miles from new at the time of consignment, the Griffin boasts the top-of-theline interior specification.

Offered with a history file that includes the original book pack and Saab wallet, containing the owner’s manual, dealer map, and original stamped service book displaying thirteen servicing entries (all from Saab main dealers) and four further anti-corrosion inspections. Also present is a large selection of previous MOT certificates and history; a collection of invoices for work and servicing through the Saab’s life, the original bill of sale, a current V5C document and two keys. Very few right-hand-drive top-of-the-line Griffin models were ever supplied to the UK, and therefore, this is a scarce opportunity for purchase of a low ownership and modest mileage example.

1924 Ford Model T Speedster

13

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: RT 2175

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 7954011 The Model T’s success wasn’t just down to Henry Ford’s early adoption of mass production. There was an inherent robustness to the design not to mention the high-quality materials it used which has long appealed to enthusiasts. Examples of the Model T can be found in some of the world’s greatest car collections as was the case with this one. Beginning life as a Trafford Parkbuilt Tourer in 1924, ‘RT 2175’ had been stripped down to a bare chassis and various associated parts by the time that Bonhams discovered it on the late George Milligan’s Norfolk farm eighty years later. Put under the hammer alongside Milligan’s Mercedes-Benz SSK, Bentley Speed Six and Gardiner Serpollet Steam Car etc, the dismantled Ford was bought by renowned Model T specialist Neil Tuckett.

The lot included two engines the younger of which – number 14992682 – was chosen for overhaul. A notably late unit (production ceased at 15176888), the 2.9-litre straight-four was found to contain fragments of a June 1934 newspaper indicating that it had seen comparatively little usage. Acquired from the Tuckett Bros by a Model T enthusiast in North Wales, the by now running and driving rolling chassis was used to create the stunning Brass era-style Speedster you see before you. The preWW1 look was accentuated by the fitment of a brass radiator, fuel tank and lights. The wings were specially fabricated as was the wooden deck with sundry parts being sourced as necessary from the USA. Sensibly upgraded with a 12-volt electrical system, alternator, water pump and starter motor, the Ford has recently had its coils refurbished.

Accompanying paperwork encompasses certified copies of two 1920s tax discs which helped reunite the car with its original ‘RT 2175’ registration number and a 1920 issue Manchester Garages handbook etc. A real head-turner that has been thoroughly enjoyed by the vendor, this wonderful Speedster is only being offered for sale due to the desire to acquire something better suited to long distance touring.

1990 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9

14

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: H85 AMU

MOT: May 2023

Chassis No: VF320CD6224064900 Before Peugeot’s acquisition of Chrysler’s European car divisions in 1978, the company was best known as the maker of bland but competent big Saloons. The little Gerrard Welter-penned 205 changed all that, becoming an instant hit and ultimately one of the most successful small European models of all time. The halo version was the GTi which is arguably the standard by which other hot hatches are judged to this day, and was produced between 1984 and 1994 in both 1.6 and 1.9 guises. It was crowned ‘Car of the Decade’ by CAR Magazine in 1990 and also won the ‘What Car? Car of the Year’ award in 1984.

Supplied new to the United Kingdom, the 205 GTi on offer was first UK registered on the 4th of August 1990. Fitted with the 1905cc straight-four engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission, ‘H85 AMU’ is finished in Alpine White with complementary Black and Red interior upholstery. A phase two example of Peugeot’s legendary pocket rocket, the 205 GTi entered into current ownership in 2016 as a running restoration project, having been with the previous owner for some five years and has a recorded mileage of 108,172 miles at the time of consignment.

Benefitting from a full mechanical restoration from 2018 to 2022, the work completed included a complete engine overhaul with head polishing and new crankshaft; a replacement Valeo clutch; new Bilstein front struts; brake refresh with many new parts; and a new exhaust. Further non-mechanical improvements comprised bodywork repairs and repainting, as well as refurbished wheels shod with new tyres. Still ‘running-in’ following the mechanical restoration, with less than 10 miles completed, the Peugeot is now offered for sale with a history file containing the book pack in the Peugeot wallet; previous MOT certificates; numerous invoices relating to the restoration and a current V5C document.

1981 Datsun 280 ZX

15

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: SFK 360W

MOT: May 2023

Chassis No: HGS130127945 The Datsun 280ZX (sold as the Nissan Fairlady Z in its native Japan) was unveiled in 1978 and built on the impressive reputation forged by its forbears - the 240, 260 and 280Z. The only items in common with the 280Z it replaced, however, were the 2.8-litre straight-six engine and its related driveline components. In common with its predecessor the newcomer was offered in twoseater and 2+2 configurations. Mechanical changes included the replacement of the rear Chapman struts with BMW-style semi-trailing arms and the rear brake drums with discs. There was now the option of manual rack and pinion or power-assisted recirculating ball steering. Production of the 280ZX continued into 1983, when the model was supplanted by the Nissan 300ZX. Hailing from the years just before Datsun became Nissan, from its registration number ‘SFK 360W’, this example appears to have started life in the Wolverhampton area; this is supported by the garage business stickers, from that area, in the rear window.

Displaying a mere 20,340 credible miles on the odometer this striking survivor of a ZX, has had just 4 former keepers showing on the HPI. The low mileage may, in part, be due to the car having been in storage from 1998 to 2021. As 1980s interiors go, this one is up there with some of the better survivor cars of the period.

‘SFK 360W’ was subject to a recent mechanical overhaul which has included refurbished injectors, brake calipers and radiator overhaul plus oil/filter service and a new battery. An MOT was only recently acquired in late May of this year, and is without any advisory notes. As ZXs go, this is a bit of a time warp driving experience and with credible low miles, an opportunity to buy into the retro Japanese ownership and driving experience, that is such a big scene today. The ZX is offered with its original owner’s handbook, a collection of invoices and a Haynes manual.

1960 Jaguar MkII 2.4

16

Just four private owners from new Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Reg No: 595 BLA

MOT: January 2023

Chassis No: 184965 For many, the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. Chassis number ‘184965’ was manufactured on the 11th of November 1960 being dispatched on the 25th of November to Henlys of London for retailing. Fitted with the 2483cc straightfour engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission, the Jaguar is finished in Indigo Blue with complimentary Blue leather interior upholstery. Boasting matching chassis, engine, and gearbox numbers, the Jaguar was registered new to C. & J. Carpets Ltd of W1 London. Retained them until purchase by the first private keeper in 1963, ‘595 BLA’ passing through one additional private individual, before acquisition by the former keeper in 1969. Used as a family car throughout the 1970s, the Mk.II was subsequently dry stored in the 1980s, where it remained until 2017.

Acquired by the vendor (equating to four private owners from new), ‘595 BLA’ was provided a comprehensive restoration with originality in mind over the following three years. A full engine overhaul with the fitment of electronic ignition; a bodywork restoration with bare metal repainting (in the original colour); gearbox reconditioning with new bearings and seals; front and rear axle overhauls; steering renewal work; re-chroming of as many original parts as possible; powdercoated wheels (understood the original) shod with new tyres; and interior leather re-colouring/re-conollisation.

Accompanied by a history file that comprises MOT certificates and tax discs dating back to the 1970s; a Jaguar Daimler Trust Heritage Certificate; the original RF60 buff logbook; numerous invoices dating relating to service history and previous work completed; AA Engineers Vehicle Inspection from April 1969; original handbook; interesting correspondence with Jaguar requesting an Overseas Dealers & Distributors book ahead of a Spain and Portugal tour; and a current V5C. Completed in 2020, the 2.4 is said by the vendor to be a highly original example with numerous original parts still fitted and the beneficiary of a sympathetic restoration, this is a rare example also boasting low ownership.

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Reg No: J615 TPL

Chassis No: SCBZR03A3NCH44186

18

Just 26,500 miles from new Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

MOT: May 2023

Launched at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show, Bentley’s Turbo R was based on the chassis of the Mulsanne and powered by a modified version of the engine from the Mulsanne Turbo. However, the newcomer proved to be rather more than the sum of its parts, causing the respected American magazine Motor Trend to describe it as `the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name’.

The chassis changes were especially key to the model’s success. This was to be an unashamedly sporting model, requiring tauter suspension than the Mulsanne. The Turbo R had wider tyres than the Mulsanne, which were mounted on alloy wheels - a first for the marque. The model was available with short or long wheelbase - 4,653 short and 1,211 long-wheelbase Turbo R’s were produced between 1985 and 1997.

Finished in Balmoral Green complemented to Cream leather upholstery ‘J615 TPL’ has been in current ownership since 2001 and has had just 2 former private keepers. Displaying just 53,200 elegant miles from new, the vendor describes the car as a well-maintained example with attention being paid to the braking system this year, oil and filter change in 2020, new alternator in 2018 and power steering rack in 2017 all by Bowling-Ryan Ltd. Offered with stamped service book, large collection of invoices, old MOT certificates and V5C document.

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

Reg No: L550 JOL

Chassis No: WDB1290582F092551

MOT: October 2022

The fourth generation (R129 Series) of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic SL models was launched at the Geneva Motorshow of 1989. It was a beautifully-engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front and a five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. Introduced in Autumn 1993, the SL280 was powered by a 2.8 litre DOHC straight-six engine that developed some 190bhp and 199lbft of torque.

Finished in Malachite Green with a Cream leather interior, this example of a SL280 still wears its original supplying dealer plates. Always garaged, this SL has covered just 26,500 miles from new (at time of consignment) and with just 2 former keepers from new, this SL280 has been in current ownership since 2007. The current owner has stated that he has covered no more than c.5000 miles in 12 years. As should be expected with an SL the car is accompanied by both hardtop and soft-top.

Presented with a collection of old MOT certificates and invoices, the owner’s wallet and handbook are both present. ‘L550JOL’ holds a current MOT until the end of October 2022.

1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor Designo

20

No Reserve* MOT: July 2022

With the official launch taking place at the Geneva Salon, 1961, the pretty two-seater, then known as ‘Duetto’, is said to have been the last project with which ‘Pinin’ Farina was personally associated, and it was his company that produced the monocoque body at its plant in Grugliasco. The model was immortalised by Dustin Hoffman in the movie, ‘The Graduate’, of course. The Series 2 Spider arrived in 1970. The rounded tail now replaced with a distinctive ‘Kamm’ design and in 1971 engine capacity was increased to 1962 cc, prompting the name to be changed to 2000 Spider Veloce. With 131bhp on tap, this was the quickest Spider yet.

Offered here, this S2 Spider Veloce wears Alfa Rosso and has a Black interior. Displaying c.90,900 miles, restoration work has been carried out over the years. A 1962cc manual right-hand-drive, it has been in current ownership since August 2016. The body has been repainted and it has been subject to various mechanical renewals including brakes, clutch slave, various items replaced, wipers, door handles, lights, seats and door cards renovated, new tyres, suspension bushes, all mountings checked and renewed where necessary. It benefits from a new seat belts. The vendor describes the bodywork, engine and electrical system as ‘Good’ and the paintwork as ‘Very Good’. V5C present.

Reg No: S104 EAE

Chassis No: WDB1704472F101140

MOT: June 2023

At the start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat grand-tourer, the R129 SL, the launch of the Mazda MX-5 encouraged Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism that is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.

Manufactured in 1998, the SLK 230 offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being first registered on the 17th of November that year. Fitted with the 2298cc straight-four M111 supercharged engine allied to the five-speed automatic transmission, the SLK is finished in the striking colour combination of Yellowstone with Yellow Designo interior and body-colour retracting hard-top. The rare Designo edition features the original Designo interior floor mats with Yellow stitching, and rollover bar with a Designo finish, as well as being specified new with heated front seats, a high-capacity battery and an adjustable steering column. Having just three owners from new, the Mercedes-Benz has a recorded mileage (at time of consignment) of 119,225 miles.

1989 Ford Escort XR3i

21

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Reg No: F423 LFM

MOT: June 2023

Chassis No: SFABXXBBABJT44597 Launched alongside the rest of the Escort MkIII range in September 1980, the XR3 was an instant success. Intended as a rival to the Volkswagen Golf GTi, its monocoque bodyshell (complete with ‘aerodeck’ hatchback) boasted all round independent suspension and disc/drum brakes. Powered by a 1597cc OHC four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission (five-speed from February 1982 onwards), it proved quick but unruly. Conscious that the planned introduction of fuel injection would bring yet more speed, Ford charged its SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) department with taming the hot hatch’s wayward handling. Begun in October 1981 and overseen

by Ron Mansfield, the XR3i project bore fruit in just fifteen months. Unveiled in January 1983, the revised model featured - as its name implied - Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. Credited with developing 105bhp and 101lbft of torque, the Fast Ford was reputedly capable of 120mph and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. A cult car among ‘boy racers’ of all ages, it is still prized to this day.

Manufactured in 1989, this XR3i was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 11th of October that year. Finished in Radiant Red with the Grey Recaro cloth interior upholstery, the Escort features a scarce un-cut rear parcel shelf! With a displayed mileage of 98,803 miles at the time of consignment, ‘F423 LFM’ has had just six former keepers. Offered with some previous invoices, an MOT test certificate until June 2023, and a current V5C document, the XR3i Escorts are a ‘cult car’ amongst Performance Ford enthusiasts, and with gaining momentum in the collectors’ market they make an ever-popular modern classic.

1975 Triumph Stag

22

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Reg No: HGY 213N

MOT: October 2022

Chassis No: LD353880 Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servobacked disc/drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard- and soft-top roofs.

Dispatched via Greenwich Automobiles Ltd. of Stockwell Street, London to its first owner on the 22nd of May 1975, ‘HGY 213N’ cost some £4,182.15 when new. Fitted with the 2997cc V8 engine allied to the desirable four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the Stag was finished in Java Green with Black interior upholstery and hood and was specified from new with a body-coloured hard-top, all of which still presents with today. The further specification included Sundym glass, a laminated windscreen, and alloy wheels. Displaying a recorded mileage of 67,532 miles (at the time of consignment), the Stag has a large number of MOTs back to 2001 when the mileometer read 54,554 miles.

Subject to a bodywork restoration during the year 2000, the Stag is accompanied by a sizeable history file which displays a large number of invoices for expenditure across many years. Also present is the original purchase invoice from Greenwich Automobiles Ltd.; the aforementioned large number of previous MOTs; the original driver’s handbook, wallet and Passport to Service; a Repair Operations manual; a no advisory MOT certificate until October and a current V5C document showing four former keepers.

1925 Talbot 10/23 Tourer

23

Subject to an extensive, body-off restoration Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000* Reg No: SV 9591

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 19697 An evolution of the Louis Coatalen-designed Talbot 8/18, the Georges Roesch-revised 10/23 was introduced in 1923 and bodied in-house

by Darracq. The 10/23 sat on a quarter-elliptic leaf-sprung chassis with a 9ft of 9ft 4in wheelbase. Of the 5,460 Talbot 8/18, 10/23 and 12/30 light cars made between 1922-1926, the Talbot Owners’ Club estimates that just 50 have survived.

Understood to have been supplied new to Australia in 1925, being delivered on the 28th of March 1925 to a Mr. Adrian Eldhout Esq of Victoria. Fitted with the colonial engine with a radiator fan, the 10/23 was fitted with the Tourer body style upon arrival in Australia.

The accompanying Government of Victoria Owners Certificate document commences in 1933 with the registered owner showing as Mr. Henry Cordner Esq. of Murrumbeena. Passing through several keepers around the Melbourne area, the longest being a Miss Edna M. Mansfield for some seven years and subsequently a Mr. Gordon T. Douglas Esq from 1943 until 1952. The Talbot’s history is from then unknown between 1952 and 1989, until being repatriated to the United Kingdom in December 1989.

Having just five owners since arriving back in the United Kingdom, the Talbot entered into previous ownership in 2005 who retained ‘SV 9591’ until 2021. Subject to a body-off restoration in 2009, and is still worthy of close inspection now, the 10/23 has covered less than 100 miles since completion. Recently provided with a new set of tyres and a fresh battery in preparation for sale, the vendor rates the car as ‘excellent’ throughout. Finished in the appealing colour combination of Blue and Black, which is thought to be the original colour scheme from the early Australian owner’s document, a complementary Black leather interior upholstery finishes the Talbot. Offered with a history file which details the known ownership; Production and Sales Record from ‘The Invincible Talbot’; the aforementioned Australian Owners Certificate; an original Instruction book; sales literature; invoices related to the restoration; a few previous MOT certificates; and a current V5C document.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL

24

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: D240 UUJ

MOT: January 2023

Chassis No: WDBBA48D1HA065819 The third generation SL (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension and disc brakes all-round. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six and six versions of Mercedes-Benz’s silky smooth V8.

For 1986, Mercedes-Benz produced its most powerful SL of the decade in the form of the V8 powered 560 SL. The car was the heaviest of the 1971-1989 R107 SLs that Mercedes-Benz produced, but the new 5.5 litre, V8 engine with 227hp did a fine job of mitigating that fact. The top speed was much improved and the car was quicker from a standstill to 60mph by about four full seconds. The engine was much torquier too, which greatly improved the car’s dynamics. Likewise, the car received a new rear suspension and a limited-slip differential to better handle the added torque and power. Mercedes-Benz also added antilock brakes, leather upholstery, an alarm system and an air bag, all of which better suited the car’s $48,000 price tag. The V8powered 560SL was manufactured from 1986 to 1989 and only offered in the US, Japanese and Australian markets.

Displaying just a mere 33,261 recorded and credible miles, this V8 version of the SL. Having previously spent its life living in the warmer climate of the USA, it has come back across ‘the pond’ this year and is therefore left-hand drive. Of course, being an SL, it has the benefit of both hard and soft tops, useful for allyear-round use in the UK. Offered in White with a Blue leather interior, this example still retains the original Becker Grand Prix radio and all the other refinements of the SL. An original bookpack with handbooks and service book, along with a Carfax print out of previous servicing details, accompany the car plus V5c document.

1933 Riley Nine Monaco Saloon

25

No Reserve* Reg No: VXS 660

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 6022686 Redesigned for the 1933 model year, the Riley Nine Monaco could be had with all-metal coachwork for the first time. A nicely proportioned, four-door, four-light saloon, its potent 1089cc ‘twin cam’ four-cylinder engine gave class-leading performance.

First registered in Bedfordshire as ‘MJ 2999’ on November 1st 1933, this pretty Monaco Saloon is understood to have belonged to Lieutenant Colonel Evan Stewart Jenkins by circa 1950 whilst he was residing at the Army & Navy Club on London’s Pall Mall.

Retiring to Dorset, Jenkins entrusted the Riley to Bob Miller during the mid-1970s for attention to its engine, gearbox, brakes and instruments plus the fitment of a new fuel tank. Handwritten correspondence on file reveals that the relationship between client and restorer was not always a happy one! Sold to a Mr Coomber who lived near Yeovil in 1977, the four-seater is then known to have passed through the hands of Mr Tavener, Mr McGregor, Mr Haynes and Mr Leveson. Partially dismantled when the latter acquired it during April 2012, he thankfully decided against conversion to a Special and set about putting the Monaco back on the road. Work reportedly saw the engine, gearbox and differential serviced, the brakes overhauled and the kingpins renewed. New oil seals were fitted to the front and rear hubs and the starter motor rejuvenated. The heavily patinated bodywork and interior were reinstated and the Riley consigned to a Brightwells auction on 11th May 2016. Purchased by the vendors’ late father for £12,096, the Saloon was subsequently repainted in Red over Black with its front and rear seats being recovered with Black upholstery too. Re-registered as ‘VXS 660’, the Monaco has seen little use since its last MOT certificate expired on 14th July 2017. Now in need of recommissioning / refurbishing, it is offered for sale with assorted paperwork dating back to a MOT certificate issued by Foster & Heanes of Dogmersfield, Hants and V5C Registration Document.

1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster

26

No Reserve* Reg No: 915 UXN

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 812334 Launched at the 1954 Motor Show, the XK140 boasted the same bewitching styling as its forebear but allied it to a host of important mechanical improvements. Chief among these was the adoption of rack-and-pinion steering. Though, the fitment of telescopic shock absorbers (in place of the XK120’s antiquated lever-arm dampers) also had a noticeably beneficial effect on handling / roadholding. With its engine and bulkhead repositioned three inches further forward, the new model enjoyed a notably roomier cabin. Available in ‘standard’, ‘special equipment’ or ‘special equipment plus C-type cylinder head’ guises, power and torque outputs ranged from 190bhp / 210lbft to 210bhp / 213lbft. Distinguished by one-piece bumpers and a simpler, more imposing radiator grille, the XK140 was among the fastest cars of its generation. Reputedly capable of over 130mph, it focused public consciousness on Jaguar’s continued success at Le Mans (the Coventry marque winning the endurance classic in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957). In production for less than three years, just 3,354 XK140 Roadsters are thought to have left the Browns Lane factory.

Built to left-hand drive specification during late 1956, chassis 812334 was supplied new to America. Seemingly belonging to Chester Oszman of Kansas City from 1967 until shortly before entering the current family ownership in 1989, the Jaguar was remarkably original when it landed on these shores and thus able to boast matching chassis, engine, body and gearbox numbers. Disassembled as part of a restoration that has yet to be completed, much work went into the chassis and cylinder head before the project stalled. UK road registered as ‘915 UXN’ on 28th June 2005, the XK140 appears to retain its original Red leather upholstery plus a hood, tonneau and side screens.

Surely worthy of bringing back to its former glory, this appealing Roadster is offered for sale with UK V5C (Blue) Registration Document, Bill of Sale and sundry paperwork.

1925 Morris Cowley ‘Bullnose’ Tourer

27

No Reserve* Reg No: SV 7887

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 73297 Introduced in 1913, the basic Morris ‘Bullnose’ design lasted until 1926 by which time its variants accounted for an impressive forty-five per cent of new sales in the UK. Compared to domestic and foreign rivals in the 12hp-14hp market, the model offered notably good performance courtesy of its torquey, four-cylinder engines and light yet robust leaf-sprung chassis. Having originally sourced powerplants from the English White & Poppe outfit, William Morris switched to the cheaper American Continental Motor Manufacturing Corporation and then the French Hotchkiss & Cie firm. The latter’s Coventry factory proved so successful at producing a reworked version of the Continental Red Seal 1.5-litre unit that it was bought by its biggest customer becoming Morris Engines Ltd during 1923. That year also saw production split between the basic 1548cc ‘Cowley’ (three lamp set, minimal instrumentation) and de luxe 1802cc ‘Oxford’ (five lamp set, leather upholstery, Dynamotor). Approximately, 150,000 Bullnoses were made from 1919-1926 and they remained a familiar sight on British roads until well into the 1960s.

According to its accompanying green logbook, this particular Cowley example – car number 73297 – was first registered on 29th January 1925. Belonging to the West family in Devon from the early 1960s through to 1999, it changed hands once more before entering the current family ownership during 2000. An invoice on file from the Lenton Engineering Co Ltd suggests that the engine was fitted with new exhaust inserts that same year. Unused for quite some time, ‘SV 7887’ is now in need of recommissioning / restoration.

No Reserve* Reg No: Unregistered

MOT: None

Chassis No: 87276 Relatively unknown outside its native USA, the Hupmobile marque was founded in 1909 by Robert Hupp and Charles Hastings who, between them, had amassed a wealth of experience at Oldsmobile, Ford and Regal. Their first offering, the 4-cylinder Model 20 (the 20 signified its hp rating) with 86inch wheelbase was unveiled at the 1909 Detroit Motorshow in two-seater runabout guise, carrying a price tag of $750. Ever the innovators, in 1911 Hupmobile became the first manufacturer to sell motorcars to the US military, and the following year shared with BSA the honour of being the first makers in the world to produce all-steel car bodies. The first Hupmobile to feature such construction was the Model 32 – with longer wheelbase (106 inches) and more powerful four-cylinder engine (32hp) than the inaugural model, the newcomer was available with a range of Touring bodies, the most capacious of which could accommodate up to six passengers.

According to an accompanying faded facsimile on file, this particular example was purchased by Isle of Man resident John Arthur Holland from Elite Motors of Johannesburg, South Africa in 1997. Shipped to Port Douglas courtesy of Bahr, Behrend & Co Ltd with H.M. C&E Entry and Presentation Fees paid, the Hupmobile entered the current family ownership via the Brooks Beaulieu auction during September 1999. Passing a MOT test the following year, various attempts were made to UK register the Model 32 thereafter with a Dating Certificate being obtained from The Society of Automotive Historians in Britain etc. Sundry parts were sourced from the USA but the whole process became derailed when the engine developed problems. Partially stripped, the four-cylinder unit still requires repair and indeed the whole car would benefit from recommissioning / restoration.

1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow MPW Two-Door Saloon

29

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: UFS 168H

MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: CRH 8086 Hand-crafted by Mulliner Park Ward, the Silver Shadow TwoDoor Saloon was introduced in 1966. The work of in-house stylist W.G. Allen, the saloon-cum-coupe boasted wonderfully sleek lines. Blending speed with refinement in a way that few rivals could match, it was powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to automatic transmission. Trimmed with a superlative mix of sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets, the model was every bit as luxurious as it was expensive (an Aston Martin DB6 was relatively cheap by comparison). Despite being in production for five years, just 571 MPW Two-Door Saloons are thought to have been made.

Supplied new by Mead Cockshoot Ltd to J.R. Graham Esq of Prestbury, chassis CRH 8086 pleasingly retains its original service book, Rolls-Royce Warranty Card and even Radiomobile Car Radio Operating Instructions. Finished in the stunning combination of Silver Mink with a Dark Blue vinyl roof and Dark Blue leather upholstery, it must have cut quite the dash in 1970s Cheshire. Interestingly, one of the many MOT certificates on file was issued by Lex Mead Manchester on July 17th 1979 at 59,981 miles and between this and the various stamps across two service books, the vendor is confident that the Mulliner Park Ward Two-Door has covered just 78,300 miles from new.

Treated to some £12,000 worth of fettling by David Dexters of Bridgnorth during 2014 including a major service, brake system overhaul, automatic gearbox repair and interior electrics trouble shooting, more recent work has seen the Rolls-Royce entrusted to E.L. Denney & Son for two new suspension pipes, a new offside rear ride height control valve and carburettor adjustment.

Starting readily upon inspection and running well following a few years’ dry storage, ‘UFS 168H’ has been freshly serviced and is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.

1972 Lancia Fulvia 1600 HF

30

One of c.400 RHD Lancia Fulvia 1600 HF cars Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000* Reg No: BVM 584K

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 818741003573 The 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 in-house 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, the Fulvia Coupe was among the best handling cars of the 1960s / 1970s.

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 was originally delivered to the UK and later exported to Japan. Finished in a striking Red with a Grey interior, the Fulvia was re-imported into the UK in 2016 where the current vendor acquired it in 2019. Having benefitted from a recent respray to a very high standard, over the last two years the car has been subjected to an improvement programme by renowned Lancia Specialist Omicron, costing over £14,000. This work included an engine tune-up, gearbox overhaul, brake system overhaul, fitment of power steering, new fuel tank and a new fuel pump.

This rare RHD 1600HF is said by the vendor to be in very good to excellent condition all round and is offered for sale with a recent maintenance history file and current V5C.

1965 Excalibur SS Series I Built for actor Tony Curtis

31

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: KSK 693

Chassis No: 1006

MOT: Exempt

The Excalibur SS was an example of what has been referred as a ‘Neo Classic’, examples of which include the Stutz Blackhawk and Zimmer Golden Spirit. They recaptured the values of the 1930s, but with performance, reliability and luxury. Created as an expensive toy at a time, 50 years ago, when people also complained that all cars were looking the same. The perfect complement to a fantasy lifestyle many can only dream about. Car hedonism as you will. A time when there were little or no rules for building a car.

As a consultant to Studebaker and a renowned industrial designer, Brooks Stevens was asked to design a ‘show car’ for the 1964 New York Auto Show. His idea was essentially a love letter to the design of the 1927 Mercedes-Benz but built with Studebaker components. In those days, Studebaker imported Mercedes, so Brooks tied the Mercedes design to a Studebaker Daytona chassis and called it the ‘Mercebaker. ‘The prototype was built in just eight weeks, ready three nights before the New York Show at the New York Coliseum. Stevens set up his own company, SS Automobiles, with his sons William and David to build the car away from a floundering Studebaker brand. Since 1964, over 3,500 vehicles have been built.

Originally, the Series I Excalibur was an impressive performer, with its 0-60mph time of around six seconds and a top speed said to be more than 130mph from the Corvette sourced 327ci small-block Chevrolet V8. Only after the first 11 cars were built were smaller doors added for both driver and passenger. Unlike later Series cars the Series I had working side exhausts. Doorless, early examples of the Excalibur Series I are among the rarest and coveted of the company’s models. By 2003 the rights for everything Excalibur had passed to Wisconsin-based Excalibur Automotive Corporation, a small operation that exists to keep as many as possible of the 3500 Excaliburs built on the road.

The sixth production Series I SS Roadster built, Chassis No. 1006, was bought new by acting legend Tony Curtis c.late 1964/ early 1965. After a brief time in the possession of Mr Tony Curtis, the car was purchased directly by philanthropist Mr Donald S. Gilmore, an acquaintance of Walt Disney, on 16th February 1965 for display at his Gilmore Classic Car Museum, Michigan, until 2007. The car was put up for auction by the museum in 2006 with a mileage then of some 6,252 miles. In 2007 the car was for sale with the Motorcar Gallery of Fort Lauderdale, Florida where it caught the eye of the vendor who personally imported the car into the UK, registered as “KSK 693” on the 1st March 2008.

Included with the car are the transfer/tax declaration document from Tony Curtis to Mr Gilmore noting Tony Curtis’ then home address at 1178 Loma Linda Drive, Beverly Hills 90210 and even a photo of him with the car on the Warner Bros. Studio backlot during a publicity shoot for The Great Race (1965).

The low mileage is highly credible due to the fact that from a month or so old it was in the Gilmore collection and on display in the museum until 2006. In the current ownership the Excalibur has been well-maintained for the road, including; a brake master cylinder, water pump, new plugs, oil filter, oil change, electronic ignition at 6212 (2008); brake overhaul (2009); recommissioning work (2014). Its history file includes the provenance records and a collection of old MOTs. Classic & Sportscar Magazine featured this very car in April 2015, a copy of which is on file along with the aforementioned documents.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette

32

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000* Reg No: OSU 983

Chassis No: 20867S105302

MOT: June 2023

Now in its eighth generation, the ‘Vette began life in 1953 with the C1 - a model that captivated a generation of American youngsters. It was the work of the legendary Harley Earl and inspired by the great European road/race offerings of the day. It borrowed its name - of French origin - from centuries of small, fast warships. The newcomer was first seen in concept form at the New York Auto Show, and generated sufficient interest for General Motors to hand-build a batch of 300 Polo White Convertibles. Sales, slow at first, had built to no less than 14,000 per annum by the introduction of the C2 10 years later. The C1 received multiple cosmetic updates along the way, the most significant of which came in 1958 when the nose was lengthened and dual headlights introduced. The model was initially only available with a straight-six powerplant, but soon progressed to V8 power units of varying horsepower with various transmission options.

This Corvette, with a ‘four on the floor’ (4 speed manual, tunnel mounted) gearbox arrived in the UK in 1989. In the current ownership since 2005, it is finished in Burgundy Red with complementing Gold.

Around 2005/2006 c.£12,000 was spent on the ‘Vette which included a full check over and repairs where necessary to the body, mechanicals and electrical system. As a nod to the marque’s history, the car wears SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) ‘club racer style’ number roundels and sponsors, along with racing stripes. Accentuating the theme of Gold highlights are attractive five-spoke Gold alloy wheels from the American Racing Equipment line of wheel rims.

Gold and Burgundy continues inside where ‘OSU 983’ is otherwise pretty much road-going stock for the model; sometimes you can’t better such an iconic sportscar design. It consists of usual ‘bucket seats’, lap belts, tachometer and large, factory 3 spoke steering wheel. The ‘bucket seats’ and door cards are trimmed in a period-style Gold vinyl and with matching dashboard colours and a complementing mockled Tan carpet. Keeping the cabin dry is a Black cloth soft-top. A 4 speed manual stick-shift example, it’s also had an ‘in-period’ accessory Hurst shifter fitted. Described by the vendor as in ‘good order’, it is offered with invoices for the aforementioned work, a collection of old MOTs dating back to the 1990s and a reproduction service manual plus V5c document. A collection of trophies comes with the vehicle, acquired from visiting classic car events and it currently displays a credible 56,500 miles.

2002 Renault Clio V6

One private keeper from new Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: SY52 GUX

Chassis No: VF1C61A0625482269

MOT: August 2022

Renault Sport have been responsible for many, frankly bonkers creations, all of which capture the imagination and make any red-blooded driving enthusiast immediately sit up and take notice. Perhaps the most outlandish project came in 2001, when Renault decided to put a hefty V6 power unit into their small economical runabout. Naturally, it did not fit under the bonnet, so rather than scrap the idea for a smaller engine and perhaps use turbochargers or superchargers, it was decided to place the engine behind the front seats thus creating a mid-engine car dubbed ‘the World’s smallest supercar’. The term was justifiable; while its engine might have had humble origins, dropping it in the Clio body gave it staggering performance figures. Tuned to 227bhp and capable of accelerating from 0-60 in just 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 146mph, the Clio V6 Sport was, in many ways, the spiritual successor to the wild rally-based mid-engine Renault Five Turbo of the 1980s. Certainly not a car for the fainthearted, it was built in limited numbers and mainly driven by only the true enthusiasts of the day.

The Phase 1 cars were assembled by hand at the Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) workshops in Uddevalla in Sweden, using parts shipped from France. This example, number 0176 of the 1,513 examples produced was manufactured in 2002. The V6 is one of just 223 right-hand drive, UK-market, cars finished in the arguably the most iconic and desirable hue of Iceberg Silver with the Charcoal half-leather, half-Alcantara interior. Registered new to the supplying dealership, Ness Motors Ltd. of Inverness, having been first registered in the UK on the 6th of September, the Clio was retained by them for approximately a year, before entering into the Clio’s sole private owner’s hands in 2003, ‘SY52 GUX’ has now covered just shy of 55,000 miles from new.

Benefitting from over £13,000 worth of expenditure in 2018-19 with marque specialists SG Motorsport, less than 2,000 miles have been completed since. The work completed included front and rear subframe overhauls; a suspension refresh; new hub and bearing assemblies; new struts and top mounts; replacement cambelt and water pump; bodywork and chassis refresh; new clutch slave cylinder, as well as much additional work. Offered with a history file which contains the original book pack with stamped service book, as well as a collection of invoices relating to the work completed

by SG Motorsport, original sales literature, previous MOTs and MOT history, and a current V5C document. With early Phase 1 cars quickly achieving cult status, this one private keeper example may well turn out to be a shrewd investment.

Estimate: £11,000 - £12,000* MOT: Exempt

Originally registered in Australia’s New South Wales, this right-hand drive Land Cruiser was bought by the current owner in 2008 from a private seller in Melbourne, Victoria. Offered here is an FJ40 shortwheelbase model, displaying a mileage of just 95,710km (59,471) miles. Ordered from the factory with a 4 speed manual gearbox, the 4 wheel drive bits have high-range 2 and 4 wheel drive and low-range 4-wheel drive capability via lockable front hubs.

Inside, the standard petrol tank under the front seat with an additional long-range tank under the passenger seat. It also benefits from a factory-fitted roll cage. Original seats have been reupholstered at some point and the radio is missing. Suspension is from traditional, ‘old school’ standard leaf springs and shock absorbers with 50mm greaseable shackles for additional ground clearance.

Previously, the FJ40 had been converted to run on LPG but this was removed when the vendor moved to Sweden with the vehicle. As LPG is virtually non-existent in Sweden and the regulations are quite strict. There are many receipts for servicing accompanying the vehicle. 2 sets of wheels and tyres (including Swedish winter tyres/wheels). Other work includes; a replacement engine: The original Toyota 6 cylinder was replaced with Chevrolet 283 V8 (a reconditioned crate engine), upgraded to discs, power steering, catalytic convertor fitted, new winter tyres and wheels, complete overhaul and chassis media blasted plus Waxoyled and engine and carb overhaul.

Chassis No: WDB/070422A011372

MOT: May 2023

Nicknamed the ‘Panzerwagen’ by Mercedes-Benz’s development engineers, the R107 series was the result of an extremely thorough design process. In an attempt to avoid falling foul of threatened American safety legislation, Stuttgart produced an open car whose structural rigidity surpassed that of some contemporary saloons! Indeed, even now some forty-seven years after its introduction, the R107 retains a reassuring air of solidity. Allied to this was sure-footed handling courtesy of allaround independent coil-sprung suspension, power-assisted steering, and disc brakes. Always more of a grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, the vast majority of R107s were fitted with automatic transmission. Launched in September 1974, the Eurocentric 280SL was less powerful but more fuel-efficient than its V8 brethren. However, with some 185bhp and 177lbft of torque on tap from its fuel-injected 2746cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model could still boast authoritative 120mph performance.

‘A353 STR’ is offered with a full Mercedes-Benz service history. Work completed on the car has included a steam clean of the engine, overhaul, clean and adjustment of the rear brakes, a new Battery, a new prop shaft and couplings etc., 4 new tyres & tracking and new anti-roll bar rubbers and pins etc., a rack (frame) with a cover to store the hardtop, and an outside cover for the Mercedes.

Recent expenditure has been carried out by a Mercedes engineer. At the time of consignment, the car has covered c.120,00 miles.

When the Klaus Kapitza designed 8 Series was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989, it felt like a glimpse into the future with its angular styling. An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a standalone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. From mid-1995, production phased in the newer 4.4 litre M62B44 engine, the 4.4 Sport offered a better driving experience with considerably more torque.

Manufactured in 1997, this 840 CI Sport was UK-supplied when new having been ordered for ‘Dealer Own-Use’ by Sytner Nottingham. Fitted with the aforementioned 4398cc V8 engine mated to the automatic transmission, ‘V374 GAW’ was ordered new in the special-order colour of Dakar Yellow II (one of just 38 E31’s understood to have been finished in this colour) with matching special-order Black with Yellow piped interior upholstery. Having covered a total of 90,800 miles (atoc), the BMW has spent a short period of time (approximately 36 months) in Holland before returning to the United Kingdom in 2019. Fitted with the 17-inch ‘Throwing Star’ wheels which have recently been refurbished, the BMW was fitted with Nurburgring suspension and the highly sought after M Sports Package from new. The subject of remediation work upon return to the UK including air-conditioning overhaul, a new water pump, new trailing arm bushes at the rear along with other repairs. ‘V374 GAW’ is accompanied by the original book pack including the handbook and a duplicate stamped service book (including Sytner Nottingham pre-delivery inspection stamp and ten subsequent stamps with many from main dealers); a small collection of invoices; MOTs and MOT history and current V5C document.

Introduced at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the fifth-generation (M139) Quattroporte was styled

by Ken Okuyama of Pininfarina whose other credits included the Honda NSX and Enzo Ferrari. More driver orientated than a Bentley Flying Spur or range-topping Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Maserati had a firmer ride and, in early cars at least, a ‘Duo Select’ paddle-shift transmission that was not at its best in fully automatic mode. Powered by a Ferrari-derived 4.2 litre ‘quad cam’ V8 engine developing 395bhp/333lbft and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and 171mph, the Quattroporte featured a truly sumptuous interior. For the money there are very few cars that can imbue occupants with the same sense of occasion as a M139.

A one owner car with just 44,000 miles from new, this Quattroporte was supplied new by Stratstone of Manchester. In ownership the car has been looked after and regularly maintained and serviced more recently by TT-Mechanica, who are independent specialists. Offered with the original owner’s wallet, bookpack, service record and tool-kit with the tyre inflation compressor also present, there is also a collection of old MOTs, invoices and an original sales brochure present with the car.

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: Unregistered

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 2J2247BW Jaguar’s original XJ Saloon (retrospectively dubbed the Series 1) and its Daimler counterparts were introduced in 1968 and were the last models to have the personal input of Jaguar’s founder, Sir William Lyons. The striking two-door pillarless Coupe derivative was first shown five years later, at the 1973 London Motor Show. Production was heavily delayed, however, and did not get fully underway until 1975. The newcomer was based on the short-wheelbase Saloon and featured suitably lengthened versions of the standard car’s doors. There were two engine options - a 4.2-litre version of the ubiquitous DOHC XK unit and the 5.3-litre V12. The smaller-engined version came with the choice of manual or automatic gearbox. The silky smooth suspension was independent all round, braking by discs at each corner, and steering by rack and pinion. A total of 10,426 Jaguar and Daimler Coupes were produced before production ceased in 1978 - 8,214 were bestowed with the 4.2-litre engine.

1 of just 2,606 Jaguar XJ-C 4.2 cars made to right-hand drive specification, chassis 2J2247BW was completed on 20th May 1976 and despatched to British Leyland, Australia on 28th May that same year, where it was fitted with air-conditioning. The car was re-imported around five years ago by the current vendor who acquired the car from a friend who is believed to have owned the car since the late Seventies. Under the previous owner, the car was the subject of a respray in its original Regency Red, a new Black vinyl roof covering and retrimmed seats in Russet Red hide, along with a conversion to four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. It is fitted with Kent alloy wheels and has received an uprated cooling fan. Described by the vendor as being in stunning condition with many original features still in evidence, this collector-grade XJ-C comes with Handbooks, Workshop Manuals, a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, a Nova declaration and the Australian registration documents.

MOT: July 2022

Chassis No: RCH 54835 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 6,751cc 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 1994 right-hand drive example of the Brooklands is resplendent in dark Metallic Green coachwork with tasteful Cream leather interior highlighted with contrasting piping on its electric-memory seats. The car has only one previous owner and has covered less than 25,000 miles, supplied new by Bentley main agent Majestic Garage of Bournemouth and serviced every year by Broughtons Bentley of Cheltenham, as detailed in the original service record. L842 YCV is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ condition throughout, the vehicle has been carefully maintained and cared for and comes complete with service book, owners manual, tool kits and original Bentley battery trickle charger. We are delighted to present this magnificent luxury saloon with incredibly low mileage and an excellent service history, the likes of which rarely comes to market.

1983 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

Estimate: £38,000 - £45,000* Reg No: A911 SSP

Chassis No: WPOZZZ91ZES1O1216

MOT: March 2023

Developed under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show of September 1983. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model’s 3164cc (hence ‘3.2’) flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to a five-speed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios slightly raised. Among other improvements was a redesigned timing chain tensioner – the Achilles heel of the earlier engines.

An optional ‘Sport’ pack became available during 1984, comprising a deeper front valance, ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler, stiffer Bilstein dampers and 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels with black centres.

Manufactured in 1983 and registered in 1984, this Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 is offered for sale in the ever desirable Guards Red with contrasting Tan interior. ‘’A911 SSP’’ benefits from a desirable specification including the aforementioned ‘Sport’ pack upgrades, as well as a Viper immobiliser system and Porsche Classic Radio, giving Apple Car Play, sat nav and more whilst in keeping with the classic dashboard design. The unit cost of this system was £1,866 alone.

Overall, this particular example has benefited from being looked after by largely Porsche main dealers, Porsche specialists and for a period of time, Meridian Modena. In its current ownership, Porsche Centre Brooklands have undertaken a number of works, with the most recent between March and April 2022. This work included a sunroof overhaul, replacement seat belts, engine struts, Porsche Classic Communications Management (PCCM) installation, replacement track rod ends and turbo gaitors, steering rod and much mechanical fettling at a total cost of over £5,300. A reluctant sale by the owner only because of a more modern purchase, this 911 is now ready for its new owner to enjoy.

Accompanied with the vehicle is an impressive history file containing a large number of MOTs dating back as far as 1990, invoices dating back as far as 1988 and even a printed log of all the vehicle’s history including services and keeper changes with mileages, garages and more until 2004. In this log, you can see the vehicle was subject to a replacement speedometer in May of 93. The previous recorded mileage was 63,999 miles, with the replacement odometer now showing 60,508. This brings a total recorder mileage of 124,507. Also included within the history file is some photographic history of a previous light restoration and the vehicle comes with an MOT valid until 18 March 2023 for good measure. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission all as ‘Very Good’, with the interior ‘Good’.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: CAU 61H

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: J70P1R43093BW Triumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer’s reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type’s combination of all-round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements.

Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. The range expanded with a 2+2 derivative joining the coupe and roadster, and evolved through steady stages until the final Series 3 V12s bowed out in 1975.

Repatriated back to the United Kingdom in 1991, this E-Type 2+2 had lived stateside from new and therefore it has now been converted to right-hand drive. Power is supplied by the 4.2 litre engine that is currently displaying c.97,600 credible miles on the odometer; the car has been in long-term previous ownership.

According to the chassis plate the suggestion is the car has matching chassis and engine numbers. Wearing wire wheels and what appears to Old English White paint, the specification includes a red leather interior and an automatic gearbox. The rear seats have lap belts and the front seats have fixed 3 point belts. In recent times ‘CAU 61H’ has had a new battery, the alternator overhauled and has been fitted with a stainless steel exhaust for longevity. Described as ‘driving well’, the E-type is offered with a V5C document.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

42

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000* Reg No: G259 RHG

MOT: April 2023

Chassis No: WDB1070412A102338 The ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz’s renowned R107-series, the 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Equipped with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel-injection, it developed some 177bhp, with a reputed top speed of 125mph. Fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it further benefited from improved anti-corrosion treatment and ABS brakes. Only in production between 1985 and 1989, just 13,443 300SLs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.

A very late final year example first registered on 01 August 1989, ‘G259 RHG’ was presented in Astral Silver with contrasting Royal Blue leather interior and featured surprising factory optional extras including cruise control, headlamp washer/wipers and the optional extra rear seat. Acquired by its current owner in July 2014, this particular example is offered showing a warranted 104,699 miles on the odometer with just 3 former keepers and comes accompanied with an impressive history file. This contains its original wallet with maintenance booklet containing 16 stamps. As well as this, the Sales and Service booklet, still housing the warranty terms and conditions, wiring diagram, fuel economy certificate, Blaupunkt radio manual and cruise control leaflet. The owner’s manual is also included. Within the file, there are MOT certificates every year from 1992 to 2011, then 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019 ,2021 – in total, 25, with there also being an MOT valid until 22 April 2023. In addition, there is a small collection of invoices for previous works, with the most recent in April 2021, for a service invoice with Andrew Ellaway Ltd totalling £416,57. Also accompanying the vehicle is a matching hard top and rare tool kit. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission all as ‘Very Good’, with the interior trim ‘Good’.

1966 Ford Mustang 289 GT

43

Just c.14,733 miles from new Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: UCA 384D

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: 6RO7C231374 Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 over 400,000 units were sold in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch.

Purchased by an elderly lady on 14th July 1966, this particular Mustang was featured the 289cui small block V8 engine and was presented in the attractive combination of Silver Blue with matching two-tone Blue interior and featured options including power steering, air conditioning, front and rear seat belts and wire wheel covers. Her pride and joy, the first owner insisted her car be looked after by main dealers only, until her passing in 1969 whereupon her husband then stored the car until 1975.

Early service records in the comprehensive history file confirm these events, with the owner’s manual and warranty card still present. The next owner, an MCCA judge, kept ‘UCA 348D’ in a purpose-built climate controlled storage facility until 2004 with the car only emerging briefly for shows and Concours events.

At this point, it was sold to its next keeper, also an American Mustang enthusiast, who enjoyed the car up until 2015 covering just a further few thousand miles.

When this cossetted Mustang arrived in the UK in 2015, it had covered just over 14,000 miles. Today, the odometer indicates just 733 more. Accompanied with its last California plates, ‘UCA 348D’ comes accompanied with a history file including MOT certificates every year since its import to the UK, a collection of original paperwork including the owner’s handbook, a number of previous invoices, letters from the original owners, a Haynes repair manual, new workshop manual, Scott Drake catalogue and 2 sets of keys, this surely presents a rare opportunity.

1948 MG TC

44

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: USJ 920

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TC7209 Introduced in late 1945, the MG TC boasted a wider cockpit than its TB predecessor but shared a similar ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. With its dual-cowl dashboard, fold-flat windscreen, cutaway-doors, swept wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TC looked every inch the traditional sportscar. Powered by Abingdon’s renowned XPAG 1250cc OHV four-cylinder engine, it was reputedly capable of 78mph. The last MG product to ride on nineteen-inch wire wheels, the TC attracted a strong following in the USA (especially among demobbed servicemen).

According to the T-Register’s Factory Production Record database, chassis TC7209 was built on 24th November, 1948, and fitted with the engine number XPAG 8081 (the same unit it pleasingly appears to retain today). Thought to have spent the first fifty years or so of its life in North America, the MG was subject to a body off, chassis up restoration by its previous keeper and UK road registered as ‘USJ 920’ on April 1st 1999.

Drawn to the two-seater’s striking and period correct colour of Clipper Blue, the vendor journeyed to Inverness to acquire it some two years later. Joining another TC – the one the seller had bought as his first car during 1967 – as part of a small marque collection, ‘USJ 920’ benefited from his decades of experience with the model. A handwritten log attests to regular maintenance and various improvements over the past twentyone years including a replated radiator grille and uprated oil seal for the refurbished Bishop Cam steering box. Treated to new engine mounts by marque specialist Cuerden Classics last July, the two-seater started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Still highly presentable, the MG sports a Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel, St Christopher medal and full weather equipment. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible 2 former keepers from new

45

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Reg No: F30 KVU

Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB160433

46

Estimate: £15,000 - £17,000* MOT: June 2023

Launched in 1975, Jaguar’s XJS 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 the 5.3 litre V12 engine, still claimed a top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds.

The vendor describes the car as ‘exceptional’ and having been garaged since new. With just 2 former keepers this XJS-V12 convertible has been with the current owner since 2019. Having covered just 60,890 miles from new, the car has benefitted from a replaced Mohair roof and headlining from the leading trimmers - Aldridge Trimming, a complete reconditioned steering rack, a reconditioned gearbox in 2015 - at a cost of c.£2000, a Bosch battery and, more recently, new front brake calipers and shock absorbers in 2019. A Kenwood in-car entertainment with removable head unit front.

Accompanying the car, there’s an original Jaguar book pack with handbooks and a service book that shows 38 entries in the service record. The last service was an oil and belt service in September 2020. There are 2 sets of keys, a collection of old tax discs and invoices, extensive MOT history, hood cover, key fobs for the factory alarm and a tool kit.

1952 MG TD

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

Reg No: UMG 586

Chassis No: TD15536

MOT: Exempt

Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted 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 a four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg.

This UK supplied right-hand drive TD was restored in the 1990s, the vendor informs us it has never let him or the previous long term owner down and says it has never been out in the rain. Displaying c.72,300 miles, ‘UMG 586’ has had new tyres in 2017 and has also benefitted from a stainlesssteel exhaust. More recently there was a brake overhaul in 2021. It is presented with full weather equipment. ‘UMG’ area code of the number plate is possibly a locally issued Abingdon plate, as seen on some MG factory and development cars, such as seen on ‘UMG 400’, the 1951 Le Mans car built

by MGA and MGB designer Syd Enever. This TD is accompanied by a collection of invoices, MOT certificates and a workshop manual.

2004 Jaguar XKR 4.2 Coupe

1934 BSA 3-Wheeler TW35-10

48

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* MOT: November 2022

Reg No: ABY 977

Chassis No: F75770

MOT: Exempt

The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally aspirated version of the company’s AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR.

Previously known for their side arms and bicycles, BSA. had begun motorcycle manufacture in 1910.

A BSA three-wheeler designed by F.W. Hulse using the Hotchkiss 1021cc twin-cylinder engine later emerged. It was a competitor to the Morgan three-wheeler and although less sporting it was more comfortable and easier to drive.

Manufactured in 2004, the XKR on offer was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered on the 22nd of June that year. Fitted with the 4196cc Supercharged V8 engine allied to the sixspeed automatic transmission, the Jaguar is finished in Zenith Blue Metallic with Ivory leather interior upholstery. In current registered ownership since 2012, the XKR has had just three former keepers.

With a recorded mileage 34,706 miles from new (at the time of consignment), ‘SC04 XDD’ is fitted with Burr Walnut veneer, 18-inch wheels, satellite navigation, heated and electric seats with driver memory, aluminium J-Gate and dial surrounds, sports pedals, cruise control, and rear parking aid amongst features. Benefitting from a service and health check by Hatfield Jaguar in 2021, the Jaguar has recently been shod with four new tyres and is MOT’d until November this year with no advisories.

Accompanied by the driver’s handbook, previous MOT history, and a current V5C document.

Manufactured in 1934, ‘ABY 977’ is fitted with the 1075cc four-cylinder engine allied to a three-speed manual transmission. Finished in Cream and Black paintwork with Red interior upholstery, the BSA is offered with weather equipment trimmed in Black comprising hood, side screens and full-length tonneau cover. Unfortunately, little is known of chassis number F75770s early history until it was discovered as a resident of the Isle of Man during the 1990s and 2000s. Returning to mainland United Kingdom in 2005, entering the ownership of the previous custodian, the vendor purchased the TW3510 in 2016. Benefitting from much improvement since the vendor’s purchase, the BSA has received an engine overhaul which has included a re-bore, new pistons, replacement white metal rods, an electric cooling fan, and new electric water pump, as well as the fitment of new tyres. With a recorded mileage of 9,740 miles, the vendor rates the paintwork as ‘good’ and the bodywork, engine, gearbox, interior trim and electrics as ‘very good’.

1929 Austin Seven Fabric Saloon

49

No Reserve* Reg No: BF 6880

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 97022 “One of the immortal designs in motoring history is the Austin Seven, for upon its introduction, it rendered the cycle-car obsolete, set a high standard for the economical car, and made motoring possible for the first time for thousands of families. It is surely no exaggeration to say that it was as great an advance in its own sphere as were the 1901 Mercedes and the 1907 RollsRoyce in theirs, capturing the imagination as few cars have done before or since” (Cecil Clutton, The Vintage Motor Car) Arguably the forefather of mass motoring ‘giants’ such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Citroen 2CV and BMC Mini, the Austin Seven was launched in 1922. An extremely versatile design, its simple but well executed A-frame, leaf-sprung chassis played host to a bewildering range of derivatives from Brooklands singleseaters to two-speed tractors (all powered by the ubiquitous, four-cylinder, side-valve 747cc engine). Throughout a lifetime of continual revision and development, the Seven never lost its charm.

Belonging to the Marshall family of Bideford, Devon for six decades (1948-2003) and perhaps even longer, this rare Fabric ‘Wydoor’ (Wide-Door) Saloon was still highly original when N. Starey Esq. acquired it in September 2005 for £3,350. Entrusted to Austin 7 specialist Ian R. Bancroft Restorations two years later, the diminutive four-seater reportedly benefited from an engine overhaul, new clutch, rewiring, replacement radiator, refurbished wire wheels, fresh shock absorbers and new tyres etc at a cost of some £4,567.79. Treated to a cosmetic renovation not long after entering the current family ownership during September 2013, ‘BF 6880’ emerged with a retrimmed interior, re-skinned fabric bodywork and Kingfisher Blue tinware (the latter apparently a period option). Stored in a lean-to shed for the last several years, the Austin is now in need of recommissioning and some further refurbishment. Offered for sale with continuation buff logbook, V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

1937 AC 16/70 Two-Seater Drophead Coupe

50

No Reserve* Reg No: YAS 233

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: L541 AC succumbed to receivership in 1930 only to be rescued by the Hurlock brothers who recommenced production two years later. Having secured 1st, 4th and 6th places on the 1933 RAC Rally not to mention winning the event’s Concours d’Elegance, the Hurlocks were soon promoting the marque as ‘the Saville Row of Motordom’. Rare and stylish in equal measure, just 99 Two-Seater Drophead Coupes are thought to have been made from 1933-39.

According to information on file, chassis L541 was delivered to George Hopkins & Sons of Ledbury on March 25th, 1937 and subsequently sold to E.H. Gunter-Jones Esq. of nearby Dingwood Park. Initially registered as ‘VJ 9962’, the AC was bought by robotics pioneer Dr Delbert Tesar some thirtyfive years later. Entrusted to F.R. Bleaze of Birkenhead for an extensive restoration (with supplementary work being carried out

by Cleobury Garages Ltd), the 16/70 was shipped to Dr Tesar’s Florida home in 1974. Repatriated by Philip S. Lewsley Esq of Leeds fifteen years later, the 2+2-seater entered the current family ownership during 1990. Treated to a second refurbishment during the early 2000s including a bare metal repaint, retrim and refinished brightwork etc, the Drophead Coupe developed engine trouble in 2005. The 1970s restoration had seen the factoryfitted unit ‘UMB 495’ augmented with components from ‘UMB 556’ but the first company asked to tackle the 2-litre straight-six made little progress. The Coventry Boring & Metalling Co Ltd were tasked with crack testing the crankshaft and regrinding its journals as well as re-metalling the main bearings and conrods during 2008. However, the engine has not been reinstalled and as such may well require further work. The Red paintwork remains presentable, but the soft-top needs replacing. Overall, the car requires a lot of recommissioning / re-restoration work.

Although, once completed it should be a singularly elegant and capable Post Vintage Thoroughbred. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

51

No Reserve* Reg No: Unregistered

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1E14226 Among the last century’s great motoring icons, Jaguar’s E-type has always inspired loyalty and devotion. Born out of the fabulous D-type racer, the model soon acquired a strong competition heritage of its own. Launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Big Cat proved faster and more glamorous than virtually any production rival. Certainly, few could match its reputed 150mph top speed. At a time when Ferrari’s lauded 250SWB and 250GTO made do with ‘live’ rear axles, the E-type utilised a sophisticated independent rear set-up with inboard disc brakes. While rack and pinion steering enhanced the monocoque chassis’s excellent roadholding and handling; putting it light years ahead of American designs like the Corvette. Revised in 1964, the E-type gained a torquier 4235cc powerplant and four-speed allsynchromesh gearbox of Jaguar’s own design.

Built during late 1966 to left-hand drive specification, chassis 1E14226 spent the first twenty-three years of its life in the USA. Registered to Joel T. Sheffield of Thornton, Colorado prior to entering the current family ownership in 1989, the Jaguar is proof that not all Americans adhere to the idea that ‘there is no replacement for displacement’. The E-Type’s original engine is thought to have suffered a catastrophic failure at some stage but instead of replacing it with another XK unit or a small block Chevy V8, a past owner installed a twin carburettor-fed Wankel Rotary powerplant. The conversion appears professional and extends to a more suitable rev counter and auxiliary gauges. Dry stored for much of the past thirty-three years, the two-seater is now in need of restoration and accompanied by a Jaguar 4.2 litre XK DOHC engine (from a Mk X) should a new owner wish to return it to a more original specification. Better preserved than many of its UK contemporaries, chassis 1E142226 is accompanied by a C&E 386 import duty paid form, State of Colorado Certificate of Title and sundry paperwork.

1936 Riley 1.5 Litre Lynx Tourer

52

No Reserve* Reg No: AWD 503

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 26L4909 Introduced in 1936, the Riley 1½ Litre Lynx Tourer was an evolution of its 12/4 predecessor. Riley’s only open four-seater offering at the time, its four-door coachwork was undeniably rakish and well proportioned. Based around a ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and fourwheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by an advanced 1496cc four-cylinder ‘twin cam’ engine allied to four-speed transmission. Reputedly capable of 70mph and 27mpg, it was a rawer proposition than the drophead coupes catalogued by rival manufacturers and outsold by its ‘tin top’ siblings. Indeed, just 225 Riley 1½ Litre Lynx Tourers are thought to have been sold during the 1936 model year.

Belonging to the Cleare family from just after WW2 until the end of the 1950s, ‘AWD 503’ then passed through the hands of Richard Pingree, W.M. Riley, George Giles and Maurice Doe before being bought by Sylvia Keogh in August 1972. Garaged alongside her husband’s Riley Special, the Lynx gained its stablemate’s tuned ‘Sprite’ specification engine (estimated to develop 7585bhp) and pre-selector transmission plus a higher ratio back axle before being sold to Juergen Golisch during August 1983 who went onto become the Keoghs’ son-in-law. Treated to a photographically documented, body off / chassis up restoration in 1985/86, the Riley subsequently completed the MittwochsRunde Berlin event. Sparingly used after its 1991 return to the UK, the Tourer had not had its engine turned over for five years prior to entering the current family ownership during 2011 for £22,425. Returned to running order, ‘AWD 503’ was despatched to Hungary to be repainted in Red Over Black some six years later. Not started or run for quite some time, this handsome Lynx is now in need of recommissioning / re-restoration. A very worthwhile project, it is accompanied by a continuation buff logbook, green logbook, V5C Registration Document, assorted correspondence and numerous restoration photos / bills.

1974 Jensen Interceptor III

53

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000* Reg No: NDS 631N

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 9911 Jensen’s striking replacement for the slant-eyed C-V8 first saw the light of day in 1966. It broke some of the firm’s established traditions in that the design was outsourced - to Carrozzeria Touring - and the bodies were made of steel rather than glassreinforced plastic. Power was initially supplied by a 6276cc Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSDequipped Salisbury rear axle. The MkII model of 1969 brought revised frontal styling and ventilated disc brakes. Introduced at the October 1971 Earl’s Court Motor Show, the Interceptor III was visually distinguished by cast headlight surrounds, GKN cast alloy wheels and a comprehensively revamped interior and was produced in four Series - G, H, J and S4. By May 1972 the engines on RHD cars had been increased in capacity to a whopping 7212cc. A total of some 6,408 Interceptors were produced between 1966 and 1976.

With current ownership since 2010, this Interceptor III displays a credible c.74,000 miles. Previously, the Jensen has benefited from much expense to bring it up to the standard it is today.

Originally White, the Jensen has had a colour change to an attractive shade of Blue. We are informed that remedial work included the wings, sills, rear wheel arches, inner and outer sills and floor pans in the current ownership. Mechanically speaking, the gearbox was refurbished through Cropley, plus other refurbishments that included the fuel tank, new power steering, seals, shock absorbers, stainless steel exhaust and the addition of an Edelbrock carburettor in 2017. ‘NDS 631N is offered with a V5C, a collection of old MOT Certificates (dating back to 1985 and 68,207 miles), a Jensen handbook, original workshop manual and parts catalogue and various invoices and bills from a marque specialist.

1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Camper Van

54

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000* Reg No: NAV 273F

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 238173598 Introduced in 1968, the second generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 which has proven versatile enough to serve as a panel van, minibus, camper van and even fire engine was immediately recognisable due to its adoption of a large single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’ with the 1968 version referred to as an ‘Early Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. In 1972 it was facelifted again.

Imported from the USA in 2009, this 1968 VW Type 2 retains features of its Westfalia camper heritage. Westfalia was the designated Camper builder of the VW factory, they offered quality cabinets, which this Camper retains, and a functional interior when new. The 1968 ‘Early Bay Window’ provided greater visibility and practicality. This model is a classic icon and this example wears many attractive features that have given these campers a following as a vehicle, not just as a ‘camper’. Features include: Thin band ‘period correct’ whitewall tyres; deluxe model ‘chrome’ VW badge on the front panel; aluminium rear window ‘jail bars’; reversing lights; side step; glovebox door; VW rubber cabin floor mats. Self-evidently the subject of much restoration work, the interior has also had work and an upholstery re-trim to a high standard, as can be seen from the Cream VW style ‘basket weave’ front seats with matching camper interior seats.

There isn’t a ‘pop-top’ roof on this specification, however, no roof leaks to worry about and many like the lines of the un-cut steel roof, as VW intended. More modern compromises for the owner today, include a modern Pioneer in-car entertainment head-unit and inertia reel front seat belts. Accompanying, the Camper is a spreadsheet of previous servicing. The Camper is offered with a collection of invoices, old MOT certificates and a V5C.

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 9116201423 A USA-supplied, left-hand drive example, chassis number 9116201423 is fitted with the aforementioned 2.7 litre six-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. Finished in a Light Yellow (paint code: 117-9-1) with a Tan interior, the Porsche was imported into the UK in April 2019 and entered into current ownership in July 2019. It has a recorded mileage of 65,029 miles at the time of consignment, covering a mere 900 miles while in the vendor’s custodianship. ‘PFE 480P’ has benefitted from much improvement in recent years, mostly by Porsche Specialist Design 911. This included a full repaint, an engine & gearbox overhaul, retrimmed front seats in Tan hides, new fuel lines, an additional right-hand door mirror and an upgraded fan.

According to a recent full inspection by an independent Porsche Specialist: ‘The quality of this (paint)work is exceptionally good – almost to concours level. The paint is virtually free of blemishes and has a good, even finish’. The report, included in the vehicle file, also states that the car drives well with no knocks or rattles, the interior is very well preserved and that the underside is also very good. It still retains its original, almost perfect ‘cookie cutter’ wheels and is fitted with the factory optional Chrome Pack (all window trim) , Chrome Pack Level 2 (chrome trim on wheel arches and sills) and pop-out rear quarter windows.

This 911 comes with a history file that includes MOT history, a selection of invoices relating to servicing and work completed, the aforementioned inspection report, sundry paperwork and a current V5C document.

1990 Lotus Esprit

56

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: G20 SRP

MOT: April 2023

Chassis No: SCC085912KHD13584 In 1987, the Esprit was restyled by British designer Peter Stevens.

Stevens, who would later go on to design the McLaren F1, produced a less angular, more rounded Esprit. Giugiaro is said to have liked the new shape, claiming it was perhaps too close to his original design. The exterior changes were accompanied by a redesign of the interior that gave more space to the occupants.

The revised Esprit was not given a new “Series” number but is often called by its project code of X180. Panels for the body were produced using a new process called VARI (Vacuum Assisted Resin Injection). This method, which was patented by Lotus, offered advantages over the previous hand lay-up process.

Kevlar reinforcement was added to the roof and sides for rollover protection. This also increased the Esprit’s torsional rigidity by 22%.

Few shapes are as iconic in White. This 1990 Series 3 Esprit is offered following a recent respray in its original Monaco White colour, complemented by the Blue leather interior. Offering 2174cc, employed by a 5 speed gearbox, this right-hand-drive Series 3 offers the Lotus experience in a car evoking the glamour of the ‘Bond’ movie cars. Displaying c.71,993 miles, the vendor informs us the speedo/odometer stopped working in c.2019 however the Lotus has covered only minimal mileage since.

With a part service history, the Esprit does have many receipts and invoices from previous owners and the current vendor.

Previous work carried out includes a front brake overhaul. In April 2022 the Esprit was treated to a timing belt and oil change, plugs, brake pads and a rear brake caliper. It is accompanied by the owner’s handbook with service book, a collection of old MOTs; the most recent MOT takes the car up to April 6th, 2023.

MOT: February 2023

Chassis No: AR1481958 The fifth iteration of the 911, known as the 997 arrived in 2005. It represented a significant relaunch of the 911 model, the styling was universally praised, and that praise only grew louder with the improved and stylish execution of power that was the Turbo.

It naturally adopted the more aggressive stance of past Turbo models and was powered by a variation of the motorsports oriented Mezger 3.6-litre race-derived engine. Basically, the same 3.6 L twin-turbocharged engine as the 996 Turbo, modifications squeezed the power output up to around 473bhp of power being managed by two turbochargers through all four wheels, its ability was never in doubt, yet the Turbo’s all-round ability made this 4 wheeled bullet not only exhilarating to drive but also civilised when it had to be. It had VTG (variable turbine geometry), that combined the low-rev boost and quick responses of a small turbocharger with the high-rev power of a larger turbocharger.

It also offered higher fuel efficiency compared to the 996 Turbo.

The 997 Turbo featured a new all-wheel-drive system, similar to the one found on the Cayenne. The new PTM (Porsche Traction Management) system incorporated a clutch-based system that varied the amount of torque to the wheels to avoid tyre slippage.

According to Porsche, redirecting torque to control oversteer or understeer resulted in neutral handling as well as greatly improved performance in all weather conditions. This 2008 late Gen.1 997 Turbo Cabriolet has been well specified from new.

Finished in a striking and classic Porsche colour combination of Silver, with a full Red leather interior, it has covered a modest 49,864 miles from new at the time of consignment. In the market for the flagship 911, this model offers a very attractive package of the Turbo with the Cabriolet option. It is offered with a handbook, 2 keys and V5c document.

1989 Bentley Turbo R LWB

58

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000* Reg No: G498 YND

MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: SCBZR04AXKCH27640 Launched at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show, Bentley’s Turbo R was based on the chassis of the Mulsanne and powered by a modified version of the engine from the Mulsanne Turbo.

However, the newcomer proved to be rather more than the sum of its parts, causing the respected American magazine Motor Trend to describe it as `the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name’. The chassis changes were especially key to the model’s success. This was to be an unashamedly sporting model, requiring tauter suspension than the Mulsanne.

Supplied new in 1989 by Dutton-Forshaw Rolls-Royce in Preston costing a total of £82,111.52, this Turbo R was initially registered as ‘BS 45’. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Balmoral Green with Parchment leather and Green piping, the 6750cc turbo-charged Bentley V8 engine is mated to the threespeed automatic gearbox. The Bentley has covered just c.62,300 miles from new, with only five former keepers, two of which being from the same family (father and son).

Accompanied by an extensive history file that comprises the original book pack (with stamped service book) in the leather Bentley wallet; full factory build sheets; past logbooks and tax discs; a large selection of previous MOTs and a vast quantity of invoices. The aforementioned service book illustrates fourteen stamps, all of which are from either Bentley and Rolls-Royce main dealers or specialists. The Turbo R benefitted from approximately £18,800 worth of expenditure between 2017 and 2019, with much of the spend being with either Colbrook RollsRoyce and Bentley specialists or Flying Spares, including brake, springs, shock absorbers, and much additional work. More recently, ‘G498 YND’ has benefitted from a new wiper motor with Colbrook in June 2022 and is offered with a no advisory MOT until July 2023. Having recently returned from a c.1,100 mile trip to Le Mans Classic and back, the Bentley is rated by the vendor as ‘very good’ in regards to bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, engine, gearbox and interior trim.

1963 Austin-Healey 3000 MkII

59

Extensively restored Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: XHH 281

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: HBJ721881 Introduced in February 1962, the 3000 MkII 2+2 ‘BJ7’ model (unofficially known as the MkIIa) offered much of the raw character found in earlier Big Healeys but with the addition of new creature comforts and several chassis design refinements.

Thus, the ‘BJ7’ pioneered luxuries such as wind-up windows and other new features. Its independent wishbone front suspension gained stiffer coil springs and it benefited from an improved, more direct steering box, and the 2912cc, straight-six engine switched to a twin carburettor set-up. With a reputed 132bhp and 170lbft of torque available performance was suitably impressive. The American magazine ‘Sports Car Illustrated’ noting with some delight that the speedometer needle could be wound beyond its final 120mph marking. To cope with such antics, Girling front discs and generous rear drums were fitted as standard. These crossover cars are much sort after for the combination of some of the best features from the earlier and later models.

This has to be one of the nicest MkIIs we have encountered.

‘XHH 281’ is a right-hand drive UK supplied ‘home market’ example and believed to be 1 of just 6,113 BJ7 variants produced and only 1 of 455 RHD cars made. Attractively finished in the iconic Colorado Red with a contrasting Black interior, the car has, sadly, become available from a deceased estate following long term ownership. In 2012 the Healey was the subject of an extensive bodywork restoration and repaint by Body Beautiful Ltd of Bridgenorth, Shropshire. There is a CD full of photographs documenting the restoration process. As part of the schedule of work, the car was given a retrimmed interior with a new hood and hood cover. In addition, chromework was revitalised with chrome from SC Parts. There is a large collection of invoices for the work and from marque specialists, including AH Spares Limited plus original Green logbook and a collection of old MOTs. This delightful Healey is currently graded by the vendor as ‘Excellent’ in regards to the engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork and interior.

1960 MG A 1600 Roadster

60

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000* Reg No: XFO 155

MOT: September 2022

Chassis No: MGA83946 Introduced in Autumn 1955, the MGA Roadster married a proven chassis design complete with independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering to a new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory’s successful EX182 prototype racers (5th- and 6thin-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.

The resultant ‘1600’ MkI was capable of almost 100mph.

Having owned a near identical Iris Blue MG A 1600 Roadster in his younger days, the vendor jumped at the chance to acquire ‘XFO 155’ on August 1st, 2000. Extensively restored before being won in a competition by its previous keeper, the ‘home market’ car has covered some 40,000 miles over the past twenty-two years.

Driven all over the UK and into Europe, often as part of MG Car Club events, the two-seater has been maintained accordingly and MOT tested annually (the current certificate expires on 22nd September 2022). Uprated with a Ford Type 9 five-speed manual gearbox giving much improved high-speed cruising capabilities, the Roadster was treated to a thorough bodywork refurbishment plus the fitment of a new hood and reconditioned side screens during 2010 courtesy of MG A specialist Bob West and Common Lane Body Repairs. The performance received a further boost in 2015 when Bob West supplied a refurbished MG B 1.8 litre engine (circa 10,000 miles ago). Entrusted to Trevor Farrington Ltd during August 2020 for a service, new engine mounts and brake fettling etc, the associated bill on file totals £3,734.74.

Starting readily upon inspection and still highly presentable, this delightful MG A Roadster is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, tool kit and numerous invoices / bills etc.

1934 Bentley 3.5 Litre ‘Figoni et Falaschi’ Style Tourer

61

Coachwork by Rod Jolley Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000* Reg No: AXM 19

Chassis No: B189AE

MOT: Exempt

Following the acquisition of Bentley Motors in November of 1931, Rolls-Royce had the task of transforming their 20/25HP into a distinct sports car that W.O. Bentley would approve of. Based on an experimental Rolls-Royce project “Peregrine”, this new model would be Launched at Ascot in August 1933. The first of the ‘Derby Bentleys’, as they would come to be known, continued the marque’s sporting associations but in a manner even more refined than before. Even W O Bentley himself acknowledged that the 3½-Litre model was the finest ever to bear his name.

‘The Silent Sports Car’, as it was swiftly dubbed, had few peers as a tireless long-distance tourer, combining as it did traditional Rolls-Royce refinement with Bentley performance and handling. By the time production ceased in 1937 total of 1,177 3½-Litre models had left the Crewe factory, which went on to produce a further 1,234 of the successor 4¼-Litre model before this highly successful line came to an end in 1939.

Supplied new on 31 May 1934, this particular 3.5L was designed and created to the specification of eminent aircraft designer and engineer Sir Roy Feddon. Featuring an aerodynamic design with the rear portion of the car being visibly flat, this body shape was dubbed the ‘Aero Saloon’, and was reportedly the first vehicle to be wind tunnel tested in model form, at Vickers of Weybridge. When completed, the car was tested at Brooklands, clocking over 100mph – a particular feat in its day.

This particular example, personally owned by Feddon until 1949, passed hands to owners in Devon and Buckinghamshire until 1963, when it was laid up and unused until purchased as a project by its previous owner the early 1980s.

Shortly after its purchase, the previous owner undertook a painstaking restoration, including unique ‘Figoni et Falaschi’ style coachwork by renowned coachbuilder Rod Jolley. Within the history file, there is hand-written notes documenting a 1600 hour restoration at a cost of £9760, with the car finished in Ford Monaco Red and Sorbet with matching red leather upholstery. Completed in Late 1987 and enjoyed for a further 10 years, ‘AXM 19’ was purchased by its current owner in December of 1997.

Now in ownership for some 25 years, this Bentley is well known to the Bentley Drivers club, having participated in a number of social rallies in Europe including a number of rallies in the Alps and Pyrenees, as well as rallies as far as New Zealand. As such, the car has been well looked after, with it being looked after largely by Michael Hibberd and Britannia Motor Engineering in current ownership, as well as well as Fiennes Engineering on a number of occasions. Prior to its trip to New Zealand, ‘AXM 19’ was subject to an engine overhaul at a cost of £16,026, with there being invoices on file in current ownership totalling a staggering £138,000, with the most recent works being extensive works with Michael Hibberd in June of 2021 to the sum of £8,880.

1963 AC Greyhound

62

1 of just 83 examples Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: 666 AVY

Chassis No: BEF2580

MOT: Exempt

Introduced at the 1959 London Motor Show, the AC Greyhound was closer in price at £3,185 to an Aston Martin DB4 than a Jaguar XK150. Considerably rarer than either, just eighty-three were handbuilt before production ceased in 1963. A 2+2-seater featuring a tubular steel chassis, aluminium bodywork, all-round independent coil-sprung suspension, front disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, most examples were powered by Bristol straight-six engines (in either 2 litre or 2.2 litre guises) allied to four-speed manual transmission with optional overdrive. Concerns over future engine supply and the demands of the Shelby Cobra contract gave AC little choice but to shelve the Greyhound before its true potential could be realised.

The distinctively registered ‘666 AVY’ has been in current ownership since 2006 and is powered by the desirable 1971cc Bristol 100D2 engine. It is believed that the AC was possibly fitted with a Triumph engine by the factory as an experimental car, as can be seen by the car’s ID plate however factory records show BEF2580 left the factory with the correct Bristol 100D2 engine. Significantly, the AC is car number 80 and therefore that would make it the 3rd to last of just 83 built Greyhounds built.

Currently displaying 51,500 miles, ownership of ‘666 AVY’ began with Col. B. Cameron of York, North Yorkshire. ‘VY’ is a registration area code for Leeds, West Yorkshire, which is likely where it was initially distributed to. ‘666 AVY’ was previously in ownership relating to Myers and Burnell Limited of Doncaster, so it has spent some time in the region. It is documented in factory records that the car was once Blue, a colour change to Red occurred in 1999.

Over the years the Greyhound has benefitted from improvements such as an engine overhaul, attention to the braking system, a replacement manifold in 2007 and a carburettor overhaul in 2007 was carried out by Gower and Lee Carburettor Specialists of Watford. The brakes have also seen some attention. Amongst the documents with ‘666 AVY’ are a collection of invoices and old MOTs dating back to 1993 plus a copy of the factory records and V5c document.

1961 Morris Mini 850 Van

63

Comprehensive restoration finished in 2019 Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: 184 LRR

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: M-AV4/149419 Manufactured on the 25th of August 1961 and dispatched to T. Shipside Limited of Nottingham, this home-market Morris Mini Van was finished in Whitehall Beige with Tan interior upholstery. Supplied new to Nottingham County Council, ‘184 LRR’ was specified from new with an optional heater, and the Mini was fitted with the 848cc straight-four A-series engine allied to the four-speed manual ‘magic wand’ gearbox. Still fitted with an 848cc engine, albeit not the original unit, the vendor informs that the engine fitted is a very close production number to the original fitted. Equipped with a rear seat conversion which is thought to have been completed by a dealership shortly after the initial delivery, the Mini was purchased by the vendor in 2006 and was subsequently provided with a twelve-year-long comprehensive restoration.

Beginning in 2008, the shell was renovated with repairs to as many panels as possible to maintain originality with any full replacement panels supplied by British Motor Heritage Limited or M-Machine panels. The subframes and suspension components were shot-blasted and powdercoated, before fitment to the professionally repainted bodyshell. A fully reconditioned braking system (with upgrading to ‘Cooper S’ specification) was provided, along with enhanced suspension with hi-low adjustable shocks, new dampers and suspension rubber cones. The engine was overhauled with overbore, Swiftune SW5 camshaft, HS2 carburettor, unleaded head conversion and rolling road set-up, as well as the renewed fuelling system, complete re-wire, and the original specification engine floor start and floor headlight main beam switch reinstated.

The external appearance was completed with an original specification pressed steel front grille added and modified to be removable for access to engine and distributor, replica Dunlop D1 wheels with wheel arch extensions (as available in period) and a full interior refresh by Optimise Automotive completing the interior. Magazine featured twice upon completion, in Heritage Commercials (January 2019) and in Mini World (April 2021), the Mini Van is rated as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ throughout and is worthy of close inspection! The history file accompanying ‘184 LRR’ contains DVLA ownership records; a BMIHT Heritage Certificate and a current V5C document.

1968 MG C Roadster

64

1 of just 1,403 home market examples Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: SGP 49F

MOT: September 2022

Chassis No: G-CN1/188-G Intended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MG C was introduced in autumn 1967 and powered by a 2912 cc OHV straight-six engine. A strong performer, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 10 seconds and 120mph.

However, MG chose to axe the model in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs are understood to have been made.

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis G-CN1/188-G was originally finished in Tartan Red with Black upholstery. Despatched to University Motors on 3rd January 1968, it was road registered as ‘SGP 49F’ just days after the same London firm supplied HRH The Prince of Wales with his MG CGT. Apparently treated to a bodywork restoration by MRB Motors of Gwent in 1985, the Roadster was entrusted to Oselli for a Stage One cylinder head upgrade two years later at an indicated 70,000 miles. In single ownership from 1989 until being bought by D. Carpenter Esq in 2005, ‘SGP 49F’ was treated to some £23,680 worth of restoration and improvement works over the next nine years. NiDor Bodyworks carried out a bare metal respray, while Reeve Metal Finishing rejuvenated the brightwork.

Phoenix Classic Cars did much of the initial mechanical fettling with Mike Rolls MG Services going onto supervise the retrim, fit a stainless-steel exhaust, refresh the engine to Stage Two specification (at an indicated 81,000 miles), rejuvenate the back axle, uprate the front disc brakes and enhance the steering etc. Subsequent custodian C. Dady Esq. continued the spend installing electronic ignition, polybushing the rear suspension and having the factory-fitted engine rolling road tuned (printouts on file show 159.5bhp and 160.1lbft). Entering the current ownership three years ago, ‘SGP 49F’ has since been converted to wire wheels. Starting readily upon inspection and remaining notably smart, this rare, ‘matching numbers’, Roadster currently displays some 93,000 miles and is only being offered for sale to make way for a more dog friendly motorhome.

1937 MG TA

65

1 of 3,003 made and comprehensively restored Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000* Reg No: AAS 491

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TA1400 The first of the famous MG T-series line, the TA was introduced in 1936. Larger, faster and more comfortable than its PB predecessor, the newcomer was powered by the MPJG 1292cc OHV engine that developed some 50bhp @ 4,800rpm. Allied to a four-speed manual transmission, it endowed the two-seater with a nigh-on 80mph top speed. Traditionalists may have decried the adoption of a less exotic powerplant, insulating rubber engine mounts and - after a while - synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears but the TA had accounted for 3,003 sales by the time production ceased in 1939.

According to the T-Register, chassis ‘TA1400’ was manufactured on the 19th of May 1937, and was reportedly supplied new to Australia. Repatriated from Melbourne by the vendor in 2001, the TA was requiring full renovation and the next year was entrusted to Classic Restorations Ltd of Alyth, Perthshire for ‘an extensive, body-off, chassis-up restoration’ over a twelve-month period.

A matching chassis and engine numbers example, the original engine received a comprehensive overhaul by Agra Engineering, with the total cost of the renovation coming to some £40,000.

Finished in complementing and striking two-tone Dark Metallic Green with Red leather interior upholstery, the MG rides on red painted wire wheels (with matching Red grill) and is sporting a Black hood.

‘AAS 491’ appears as sharp as one might expect given the cost of its refurbishment and has resided for the subsequent twenty-one years since as part of the vendor’s private MG collection, with around 1,000 miles estimated to have been covered during this time. The handsome TA is variously rated by him as ‘excellent’ (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim), ‘very good’ (engine, electrical equipment) or ‘good’ (four-speed manual gearbox).

Offered with a large history file including much paperwork relating to the renovation, a dating letter from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT), and a current V5C document.

2004 Maserati 4200 GT

66

Low mileage, manual gearbox example Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000* Reg No: YJ04 TNM

MOT: T.B.C

Chassis No: ZAMBC38C000013494 Just as the DB7 did for Aston Martin, at a stroke the 3200 rejuvenated the Maserati brand. Unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Show, the 177mph Maserati Coupe (a.k.a. 4200 GT) was styled

by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. A direct evolution of the 3200 GT, the 4200 GT Coupe was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002 and was a genuine four-seater powered by a normally aspirated, Ferrari-based engine, of 390bhp. Developing 385bhp/332lbft, its 4244cc V8 engine was allied to a six-speed transmission that could be had in conventional manual or ‘Cambiocorsa’ guises (the latter incorporating electrohydraulic assistance and F1-style steering wheel paddles).

This handsome right-hand drive example was manufactured in 2004 and is finished in striking Metallic Maserati Azzurro Argentina with interior upholstery trimmed in complementing Cream leather and Dark Blue carpets. Riding on 18-inch sevenspoke alloy wheels finished in Dark Grey, the specification includes electrically-controlled front seats and the power from the 4244cc V8 engine being transmitted through the desirable six-speed manual gearbox. Displaying just 37,851 miles at the time of consignment, the 4200 GT has been in current registered ownership since 2012 and previous from 2009, with only four former keepers. ‘YJ04 TNM’ is now offered complete with its book pack presented in the Maserati wallet including the handbook, service history records with JCT600 Ferrari & Maserati, MOT history, and a current V5C document. Supplied with two keys, the Maserati is due to be offered with a fresh, 12-month, MOT certificate in time for sale, and surely is amazing value in today’s market.

1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce

67

Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000* Reg No: NBD 657G

MOT: February 2023

Chassis No: AR1481958 The Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Salon, though production did not commence until 1966. The pretty two-seater, then known as the ‘Duetto’, is said to have been the last project with which ‘Pinin’ Farina was personally associated. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film ‘The Graduate’. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and initial examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa’s sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. Though the new version’s looks were relatively unchanged, useful upgrades were made to the suspension, brakes, electrics, wheels and tyres. Believed to be 1 of just c.2,215 left-hand drive 1750 Spider Veloce models supplied new to the USA. Supplied new to its first owner in 1969, a Mr James P Thomas of Denver, Colorado, chassis number 1481958 was finished in Alfa’s iconic Red. As an example of the Spider Veloce, the name plus some upgrades from the Spider Duetto Spider had been substituted, but many still refer to the styling as the ‘Duetto’.

Back in 2019/20, ‘NBD 657G’ was subjected to an extensive mechanical overhaul by Farland Classic Restorations of Colorado, USA. Following the Spider’s arrival in the UK in 2020, an immediate list of work was carried out, which included an MOT and a new soft-top roof. Just last year a bodywork restoration revealed how fundamentally sound the body was, along with a repaint. There are some photographic records of that work.

Still with the car’s paperwork is the original factory dispatch form, an original owner’s manual and collection of invoices for the aforementioned mechanical work plus some invoices dating back to the 1980s.

1954 Bentley R-Type

68

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000* Reg No: PXL 333

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B42ZY An obvious evolution of its MkVI predecessor, the Bentley R-Type was introduced at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. Subtly reworked from the previous model by in-house stylist John Blatchley, it boasted a notably larger boot and reprofiled rear wings.

Switching from riveted to welded frame construction at chassis B349TO, the newcomer featured independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes (hydraulic front/rod rear). Powered by a ‘big bore’ 4566cc straight-six inlet-over-exhaust engine allied to either a four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the R-Type was a surprisingly strong performer, able to reach more than 100mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its highspeed handling and well-appointed interior, the model remained in production until 1955 by which time some 2,017 Standard Steel Saloons are thought to have been made with many features the same as the R-Type continental.

Chassis number B42ZY was manufactured in 1954, being supplied new on the 7th of February that year. Specified from new with an automatic gearbox, trafficators, and an under-car aerial, and being finished in Dual Grey with a Red leather interior upholstery, unfortunately little further is known of the Bentley’s early history.

Subsequently known to have been acquired by a former Bentley engineer who retained ‘PXL 333’ for around 10 years, providing the R-Type a comprehensive mechanical renovation, incorporating steering, brakes, fuel system and ignition system overhauls. With a recorded mileage of c.61,300 miles, the Bentley has been subject to a self-evident previous bodywork restoration too. Supplied with the original tool kit and under-bonnet grease gun, oil dispenser, and torch, also present are the original handbook, copies of the build records, and a current V5C document. Rated by the vendor as ‘very good’ in regards to engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment, the interior trim, bodywork, and paintwork are all rated as ‘good’, and the R-Type has recently been shod with new tyres (including the spare).

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: ARR 183H

Chassis No: GAN580533G

70

Just 26,284 recorded miles Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

MOT: July 2023

When new, the MG Midget was essentially a MkII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car ‘Midget’, BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. 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 1,098cc to 1,275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones inherited from the Frog Eye Sprite and front drum brakes had been replaced with discs. A total of 226,001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100,246 of which were MkIII models.

Having covered c.52,000 recorded and credible miles, this Midget has been the subject of a previous extensive restoration and mechanical improvement. Work carried out has included the uprating of the engine, taking it to 1293cc and the benefits from a Stage 2 head and a balanced crank and flywheel.

Other work includes twin SU 1.5 inch carburetors, a sports manifold and exhaust, electronic ignition and a Kenlowe fan. Poly bushes have been added to the running gear, an uprated anti-roll bar and bigger front brakes. Offered with a V5C, a collection of old MOT certificates and invoices, along with a collection of trophies.

1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

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

Reg No: HBA 326Y

Chassis No: SCAZN0005CCH06029

MOT: July 2023

The Silver Spur was the moniker adopted by Rolls-Royce for the long wheelbase versions of the Silver Spirit, and belonged to a new generation of models that also included that marque’s Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine and Park Ward, and the Mulsanne and Eight Series models of its sister company, Bentley. Penned by Fritz Feller, the range was first represented at the 1980 Paris Salon and was a welcome replacement for the long-serving Silver Shadow and its siblings.

Finished in Cream complemented to a dark Tan interior ‘HBA 326Y’ displaying just 26,284 miles at the time of its last MOT in July 2022 and has had just 6 former keepers since 1982. This example comes with a comprehensive history file that includes a documented MOT history and receipts and invoices for jobs or servicing carried out or bills for parts purchased. There is a Rolls Royce owner’s handbook present. Amongst the receipts are many from ‘Flying Spares’ the marque parts specialist.

Such purchases include a fuel pump, alternator belt, door solenoid and a starter motor. In 2016 the owner bought a ‘reconditioned’ gearbox and had it fitted. The Silver Spur is also accompanied by the V5C, 2 keys Car and a car check report.

1987 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000

Chassis No: ZAR11538002491103

1974 MG B GT V8

72

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* MOT: Expired

In 1967, the original Spider (Duetto) was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. The Series 2 Spider arrived in 1970 - the rounded tail now replaced with a distinctive `Kamm’ design and a year later engine capacity was increased to 1962cc, prompting the name to be changed to 2000 Spider Veloce. With 131bhp on tap, this version was capable of over 120mph. The Series 3 broke cover in 1982 with electronic fuel injection replacing the SPICA mechanical variety. 1983 heralded a major styling revamp that included rubber-tipped bumpers and a rubber rear spoiler whilst the interior featured a new centre console and revised facia.

This UK-supplied right-hand drive Spider 2000 was first registered on 6th of April 1987 and has been owned by the current vendor since 2012. During the current ownership it was decided to improve the car by replacing the inner and outer sills together with the front and rear valances before completing a full respray. At the same time, new carpets were fitted, together with new seat covers and a replacement soft top. A fresh service was completed just last month which included a new crank oil seal. According to the vendor the Alfa Romeo runs and drives well and is very solid underneath. The car is offered with a new V5C and will have a fresh MOT by the time of the sale.

Reg No: GBV 652N

Chassis No: GD2D1-1407G

MOT: Exempt

A more powerful alternative to the MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the B V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit. Though inspired by the conversions carried out by independent tuner Ken Costello, the factory V8 cars were somewhat less tuned, producing 137bhp rather than 150bhp – the output was nevertheless sufficient for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph. As the all-alloy Rover engine was lighter than the cast-iron BMC unit, no significant changes were required to the rest of the car. Production of the V8 was curtailed in 1976 (reputedly over BLMC’s concern it would affect sales of other products - in particular, the dearer, less powerful Triumph Stag) ‘GBV 652N’ is one of just 2,591 MGB GT V8’s manufactured worldwide, this particular vehicle was first registered here in the UK on the 8th October 1974. Believed to be a Maroon car, originally, but now finished in striking Black which really makes the brightwork stand out especially the muchpreferred chrome bumpers, this particular example also features a Webasto sunroof. At the time of consignment, the odometer displayed 41,435 miles (unwarranted), the engine started effortlessly and continued running smoothly throughout the inspection of the vehicle. Coupled to the Aluminium V8 is a 4 speed manual transmission complete with overdrive. The vehicle comes with one set of keys and a V5C document.

2002 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

73

Just 1 former keeper Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: NT52 VPK

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB2304742F023357 Notable as the most powerful production car ever fielded by Mercedes-Benz upon its launch in 2002, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5-litre (5439cc) V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph. Though, AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example has been clocked at 205mph! Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of ‘creature comforts’. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following.

With just 1 former keeper and 63,400 miles from new, this SL55 AMG wears Tellurium Silver Metallic and was first registered on the 4th February 2003. Over the years it has been looked after, with plenty of receipts and invoices for thousands of pounds for work done, including servicing, brakes and the benefit of new roof seals in 2016, for Mercedes’ special folding hardtop in 2016.

Regarding servicing, in the service record there are Mercedes Benz dealer service stamps at the following mileage intervals: 10248, 20022, 29860, 39584 and 46653 (including pulley V belt change) and 53731, with a service at an independent garage at 60864. The last service was by Mercedes Benz on June 17th, 2022 at 63211 miles. ‘NT52 VPK’ is offered with the bookpack, handbook and service book. As mentioned, it’s recently serviced

by Mercedes-Benz and offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.

1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

1 of just 1,070 RHD examples Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: FTW 126H

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1R20437 Triumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer’s reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-Type’s combination of all round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent road-holding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twincam engine supplied abundant power. A continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements.

Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds.

With current ownership since 1975, this is 1 of just 1,070 righthand drive examples made. The Series II Fixed Head Coupe displays a credible 77,600 miles and has had just 6 former keepers. ‘FTW126H’ was subject to an extensive bodywork restoration and repaint in 2018 by F.M Sportscars of Warrington, Cheshire, in its Signal Red. Inside you will find it very original in appearance, albeit replenished with new carpet. Previous work includes upgrades for use with unleaded petrol. Cosmetically much of the brightwork has been the subject of re-chroming and the Coupe also benefits from new wheels plus tyres and is a matching chassis and engine number car. During 1980, the Jaguar was taken off the road (there is a tax disc showing the 1980 date). Presented with its original Green logbook, there is a collection of invoices accompanying for the restoration.

1983 Porsche 911 Turbo ‘Flachbau’ Cabriolet

75

Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000* Reg No: JBW 91Y

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZDS150959

MOT: June 2023

Officially, Porsche offered a ‘Flat Nose’ or Flachbau version of the 911 Turbo from 1982 following the build of a handful of prototype cars during 1980 and 1981. Early versions of this factory-built special were produced on a ‘special request’ basis.

The Flachbau model originates from a time when wealthy customers wanted road-going 911 models that imitated the look of the successful Porsche 935 race cars. Kremer Racing and DP Motorsport had already started supplying converted ‘Flat Nose’ specials, and in 1981 the factory was commissioned to produce a ‘935 Street’ for Mansour Ojjeh, the head of TAG. This car became the first official product of the new ‘Special Wishes’ program (Sonderwunsch Programm), and was the project that gave momentum to the 930 Flachbau or Flat Nose conversions built by Porsche from 1982 to 1989.

Described officially as the ‘Turbo SE’ for the UK market, the car has also been referred to as a Slant Nose as well as the Flachbau. Double the cost of the standard car, in period it was viewed as the ultimate 930 Turbo and numbers sold were very low. In building any Flachbau, the conversion required extended sills, flared rear arches with vents and narrow and tapered flip-up headlights up front with functional louvres. Aftermarket specialist car builders such as Dage Sport Limited, offered an alternative outlet for obtaining the look of the genuine Porsche-built ‘Flat Nose’ or ‘Flachbau’ (Flat Construction) 911.

Currently displaying a non-transferable mark, ‘JBW 91Y’ is a UK supplied right-hand drive car with the chassis number showing it to have begun life as a 1983 Porsche 911 SC Cabriolet, first registered on 21st April 1983. By 1989 Dage Sport Limited took on the work to make some dramatic cosmetic and mechanical changes to the car including the fitment of a 930-type 3.3 litre turbocharged ‘911 Turbo’ engine. Dage were known to be specialists in conversions of the 911 to a Flat Nose design; much coveted and appreciated by enthusiasts of the 911 in motorsport. Post conversion, in 1989 Dage Sport Limited utilised ‘JBW 91Y’ as their company demonstrator. in addition to the Flat Nose conversion, the car benefited from a revamped interior by Zeemax in complementing Red / White leather seats piped with White, and Red carpets . Wearing the iconic Fuchs alloy wheels, but in desirable split rim form, and a Kremer style rear spoiler, the car now displays 72,000 miles of smiles and enjoyment. Based upon a UK supplied 911, the car has the Flachbau looks in a rarely seen right hand drive package.

Over the years the car has been subjected to mechanical work and improvement. In 2011 the car received a top end engine overhaul and a clutch at a cost of £5,565. Front discs and pads were sorted in 2020. Other work has included a new starter motor. Recently, ‘JBW 91Y’ was treated to a refresh with a repaint and a wheel refurbishment; there is a photographic record of the work done. The car is accompanied by an original Dage Sport Limited sales brochure and a parts catalogue, a new hood bag and two keys. There is also a large collection of invoices and a collection of old MOTs.

1953 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe

76

Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000* Reg No: JVY 525

Chassis No: 667078

MOT: Exempt

Famously built as a mere showcase for Jaguar’s all-new 3442cc DOHC XK straight-six engine, the XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when it was unveiled at the 1948 London Motor Show. Utilising a shortened MKV chassis complete with independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes, the lithe two-seater possessed class-leading 120mph plus performance and roadholding. Such dynamic excellence was rewarded with numerous victories including the 1950 RAC TT and 1951 Liege-Rome-Liege Rally. Arguably, the defining sportscar of its generation, a perilously shaky post-WW2 British economy gave the Coventry manufacturer little choice but to concentrate on overseas sales. Introduced in April 1953, the Drophead Coupe was not only the last but also the rarest XK120 derivative. Offering significantly better weather protection than its roadster sibling, the newcomer featured a fully lined hood with integral frame and wind-up windows. An elegant looking machine regardless of whether its soft-top was up or down, the two-seater boasted a rich wood veneer dashboard and matching door cappings. Only in production between April 1953 and August 1954, just 295 of the 1,767 XK120 Drophead Coupes which rolled off the Browns Lane assembly line were to right-hand drive specification.

Notable as the 78th of the 295 right-hand drive examples made, chassis 667078 was despatched to Henlys of Manchester on 27th October 1953. Treated to an extensive chassis up restoration and upgrade programme circa 2000, its impressive specification encompassed a louvred alloy bonnet, C-Type cylinder head, uprated camshafts, Guy Broad five-speed manual gearbox conversion, uprated engine mounts, stiffer suspension, Coopercraft disc brakes / calipers and stainless-steel exhaust. A keen driver who rallied in his youth and who has campaigned various RS Escorts and Sierra Cosworths not to mention a Francis Tuthill prepared Porsche 911, the vendor acquired ‘JVY 525’ in 2006. Among his first events with the Jaguar was the last Tour Auto that Sir Stirling Moss competed on, the two sharing several memorable conversations. Covering some 20,000 miles over the past sixteen years including time spent at the seller’s Spanish property, the XK120 has nonetheless been well enough maintained to twice win its class at the Gawsworth Hall Classic Car Show. Professional repairs have been carried out to the bottom of both front wings, while a thorough service completed in November 2021 (circa 300 miles ago) saw the radiator replaced, the engine, gearbox and back axle oils renewed, the dynamo rewound, fresh plugs / points, replacement clutch and brake fluids, the carburettors setup and the engine tuned plus a full greasing throughout. Starting readily upon inspection and looking magnificent in Old English White with a Suffolk & Turley Red leather interior, this rare, RHD XK120 Drophead Coupe is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and large history file.

1967 Jaguar MkII

77

Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000* Reg No: MXD 533E

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 121125DN Offered here is a ‘fast road’ Coombs evocation. Better known as an entrant than a driver John Coombs put up some spirited performances behind the wheel of various single-seaters before settling down to make Coombs of Guildford one of Britain’s most successful Jaguar dealerships. A frequent visitor to Browns Lane, he was instrumental in fine-tuning the MK2 as a saloon racer. Capitalising on the success his cars had achieved in the British Saloon Car Championship, Coombs offered a wide range of tuning options for road going MK2s.

‘MXD 533E’ has been restored to a high standard and finished in metallic British Racing Green. A ground up restoration was initiated over a 10-year period at huge cost, with 1000’s of hours spent and was finally completed in the spring of 2020. The Jaguar is said to perform and run ‘extremely’ well and can be used every day if required or for fun days out or on the track. The exterior has had panels replaced as required, the shell prepped and painted and under-sealed; Coombs arches and bonnet; new chrome work and 15” Minilite wheels. Inside has been treated to new Black leather seats, door cards and Black carpet set; new headlining; refurbished wood; Nardi steering wheel; Webasto sunroof and custom centre console. ‘MXD 533E’ has received fully refurbished brakes upgraded using many XJ6 components, Series 2 XJ6 gearbox and Mk 2 Jaguar axle fitted with new limited slip diff, bearings and seals. Suspension & Steering: Fully powder coated; poly bush kit; front adjustable shockers; 5 linked rear suspension kit with adjustable coil overs; Series 2 XJ6 steering rack with power steering. The engine is an overhauled Series 2 XJ6 4.2 injection engine, air induction system; 6 branch header exhaust manifolds, full 2 ¼” stainless system; new petrol tank and Aero equipped fuel lines; motorsport fuel pump, custom engine wiring loom; Oil cooler; Rolling road at ‘Mikeanics’ showed to be making 200bhp at 4500rpm, 214lb ft at 3700rpm; and alloy radiator with electric fan.

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Tiptronic S Cabriolet

78

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000* Reg No: S57 JOJ

MOT: April 2023

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99ZXS642233 Traditionalists may have decried the 996’s water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer’s use of a brand-new platform (the 911’s first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996’s 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS’s 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph.

Manufactured in 1999, the 911 Cabriolet on offer is a ‘C16’ UK-supplied example, which was sold new via Evans Halshaw of Aldridge, being UK registered on the 20th of January 1999.

Fitted with the 3387cc flat-six engine allied to the five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the 911 is finished in the striking Zenith Blue Metallic with contrasting Grey leather interior upholstery and a Dark Blue hood. In current registered ownership since 2005, the previous custodian possessed the 911 from 2001, with a total of former four keepers. Covering 116,808 miles from new (at the time of consignment), the Porsche was specified from new with (but doesn’t extend only to) Active Brake Differential, threespoke steering wheel with Tiptronic S paddles, wind deflector, and wheel caps with coloured Porsche crest.

Benefitting from a new hood and seat refurbishment in 2012, more recently (in 2019), ‘S57 JOJ’ was supplied with new discs and pads all-round, handbrake renewal, fuel tank refreshing and servicing. Offered with a history file that includes the original book pack presented in the Porsche wallet, containing the owner’s manual, service guide, and original stamped service book displaying services and brake fluid changes only completed

by Porsche main dealers and specialists. Also present is a large selection of invoices for work completed, previous MOTs, and a current V5C document.

1935 BSA Scout Roadster

79

No Reserve* Reg No: BYK 270

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: L422 Launched in April 1935, the BSA Scout quickly developed a reputation for amazingly sure-footed cornering thanks to its admirably low centre of gravity and advanced front wheel-drive.

Based around a conventional ladder frame chassis equipped with independent transverse-leaf front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by an 1075cc (later 1204cc) four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed manual transmission. Available in either two-seater or four-seater guises, lighter variants of the model were reputedly capable of nigh on 70mph. Evolving through six series, total Scout production is thought to have amounted to just 3,000 cars. Understandably rare today, the first series examples can be identified by their horizontal bonnet louvres.

First registered in London on 29th June 1935, the accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that ‘BYK 270’ belonged to Leslie Beasley of Alvechurch, Worcs some twenty-two years later with the same document listing John M. Lewis, C.W. Brueton, B.J. Wise, J.J. Mulvaney, C.D. Outram, B.J. Dewsbury and C.M. Horne as subsequent keepers. Thought to have been taken off the road during the mid-1970s, the BSA was reportedly restored by its previous custodian before being re-registered with the DVLA in 1993. Work is understood to have included a thorough engine overhaul (reground crankshaft, reconditioned oil pump, fresh white metal bearings and new pistons / rings etc). Sparingly used since entering the current family ownership eleven years ago, the Scout underwent a repaint from Green to its present Black over Red colour scheme during 2013. Not run for some time, the two-seater is now in need of recommissioning / rerestoration. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Coupe

80

No Reserve* Reg No: Unregistered (formerly ‘10 CUL’)

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11102122083018 Among the best-looking Coupe designs of the 1960s, the twodoor, pillarless version of Mercedes-Benz’s W111 Saloon was styled by Paul Bracq. Only current from August 1965 – December 1967, the 250SE model was powered by a 2496cc fuel-injected straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission. Considerably faster than its 220SE predecessor, the newcomer rode on larger 14-inch wheels and was reputedly capable of 120mph. Of the 5,259 Mercedes-Benz 250SE Coupes made, just 235 were completed to right-hand drive specification (with less than 150 coming to the UK).

One of over 200 cars to go under the hammer when Christie’s dispersed the Sharpe Brothers’ Collection on June 30th – July 1st 2005, chassis 11102122083018 was bought by the vendors’ late father on the understanding that it had ‘changed hands just once before joining the Collection’. The sole keeper listed on the accompanying but expired V5 Registration Document is Harold Percy Liberty of Maldon. HPi has no record of the fourseater’s number plate or chassis number which leads us to believe that it is not currently known to the DVLA. As such, a new owner will need to re-register the 250SE once its restoration has been completed. An accompanying MOT Check List for Vehicle Inspection dated 14th November 1980 at an indicated 85,704 miles notes a blowing exhaust, rusty front to rear brake pipe and inoperative rear number plate lights. The odometer currently shows some 85,978 miles suggesting that chassis 11102122083018 has not been driven in four decades or so. The Dark Blue paintwork has held up remarkably well aside from some micro blistering in places (the marks visible to the front wings on each side are adhesive tape residue). Much of the interior trim looks reusable and hubcaps / trim rings are present in the boot. The engine is missing its cam cover and the condition of the automatic gearbox is unknown but parts availability for W111-series cars is excellent.

1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Three Position Drophead Coupe

81

No Reserve* Reg No: DFP 403

Chassis No: 200GN

MOT: Exempt

Last of the truly grand six-cylinder Rolls-Royces and indeed the final one to be overseen from start to finish by F. Henry Royce himself, the Phantom II was introduced at the October 1929 Olympia Motor Show. Something of a radical departure from its Silver Ghost and New Phantom predecessors, the newcomer was built around a discernibly more modern ladder frame chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension (underslung at the rear), hydraulic shock absorbers and servoassisted (via a gearbox take-off) four-wheel drum brakes. Topped by a new aluminium alloy crossflow cylinder head, its pair-cast 7668cc six-cylinder overhead valve engine was not only mounted in unit with a four-speed manual gearbox but also bolted directly to the chassis side rails. With its radiator positioned aft of a specially reworked beam front axle (so as to ensure stability under high-speed braking manoeuvres), the Phantom II was notably low-slung. An enticing platform for the coachbuilder’s art, its elongated bonnet line and short overhangs proved conducive to elegant design. Reputedly capable of over 90mph, the model was in production for six years during which some 1,394 are thought to have been made.

Supplied new to Mrs Arthur Hornby Lewis of Danesfield House in Medmenham, near Marlow, chassis 200GN was issued with the Buckinghamshire registration number ‘KX 5272’ on 29th May 1930.

Unfortunately, Mrs Lewis died that same year. Sold off by her trustees, the Rolls-Royce underwent a dramatic transformation thereafter. Initially bodied as an Enclosed Limousine by Windovers, it was entrusted to the Thames Ditton-based coachbuilder Eagle during the mid-1930s. Founded by E.J. Newns and initially trading under his name, the company had clothed various British Salmson, Vale Special and Lagonda Rapier chassis amongst others. The Three Position Drophead Coupe coachwork that they created for this Phantom II certainly shows their experience with sportscars.

The raked windscreen, full flowing wings and swooping belt line that kisses the rear wings give no clue that chassis 200GN was ever a limousine. Panelled in aluminium over ash, the body tub is well made but comparatively lightweight. The interior door cards come with the car, but their plywood backing has warped. The only Eagle-bodied Rolls-Royce known, the four-seater spent time overseas before being re-registered in the UK as ‘DFP 403’ on 7th March 1930. Previously the property of renowned eye surgeon and car collector John Scott, the Phantom II has been in the current family ownership since May 1986. Finished in Shell Grey upon acquisition, it has since been repainted in Brewster Green over Black. Dormant for the last few years, ‘DFP 403’ was previously enjoyed for numerous tours around the UK and Europe as well as for friends’ weddings etc. Pleasingly retaining its original engine – number SQ65 - and among the most stylish Phantom IIs we have encountered, this believed unique Eagle Drophead Coupe has the makings of a very worthwhile project. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, copy chassis build records (incomplete), 1986 bill of sale, correspondence regarding E.J. Newns and sundry paperwork.

1 of just 949 examples manufactured Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

MOT: October 2022

Introduced in 1981, two years after its saloon sibling, the W126 S-class coupe was a singularly elegant ‘pillarless’ coupe design. Styled by Bruno Sacco, the two-door, pillarless construction did little to compromise interior space. Intended as a four-seater transcontinental express, its sleek silhouette hid all-round independent suspension, disc brakes, power-assisted steering and a range of potent V8 engines mated to an automatic transmission. Top of the launch range, the 500SEC was continuously updated gaining Bosch KE Jetronic fuel injection in 1985. Developing a quoted 245bhp and 286lbft of torque, the 4,973cc SOHC V8 was reportedly capable of propelling the super coupe to 60mph in 7.2 seconds and onto 146mph top speed.

With current ownership since 2018, this SEC displays just 122,500 recorded miles since 1990.

Showing 6 former keepers on the HPI report, we are told that ‘H234 ABA’ has been subject to much expense and improvement over the years. Inside, you’ll find the typically opulent Cream leather with complementing carpets and over-mats, along with wood veneer inlay accents around the cabin.

The car still retains its factory specification Mercedes Benz radio cassette player. Comfort features include hugging rear bucket seats with a centre armrest with factory inertia reel rear seat belts and electric windows. Offered with a V5C and an MOT until October this year.

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

Reg No: TVR 367S

Chassis No: DH5945R1

MOT: July 2023

In late 1983, the preceding TVR Tasmin 280i was upgraded with a bigger engine and renamed the Tasmin 350i. In 1984, the Tasmin name was dropped and the model became known simply as the 350i. It was offered in both Coupe and Convertible guises.

Manufactured in 1985, the 350i on offer was supplied new via Harrogate Horseless Carriages Ltd. on the 11th of April that year to its first owner. Fitted with the aforementioned Rover SD1 3498cc V8 engine allied to the five-speed manual transmission, the TVR is finished in Blue with Grey interior upholstery and Blue piping, and a matching Blue soft-top and is fitted with power-steering. In current registered ownership since 2003, ‘TVR 367S’ has a recorded mileage of just shy of 78,000 miles and has had six former keepers, being in the hands of just two owners for the last thirty years.

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* MOT: T.B.A

Tiger Racing launched as a manufacturer of road and race cars and was formed back in 1989. The Cat is unique amongst similarly styled cars in that it uses the entire Sierra rear axle subframe as it unbolts from the donor, making for easy assembly. Defining characteristics of the car are the aluminium side panels and the one-piece rear bodywork.

The Tiger Cat on offer was completed and passed an SVA test in 2009, with the ‘G788 TBD’ produced for a 1989 Ford Sierra Laser. The build started in 2001 with the 2.0-litre SOHC four-cylinder Pinto engine being overhauled and re-bored to 2.1-litre capacity, and the Sierra Type 9 five-speed manual transmission renovated and fitted. The Tiger was then gradually built over the subsequent eight years, finishing with a rolling road-set up and registration. Finished in Marron with Black interior upholstery, ‘G788 TBD’ has covered under 5,000 miles since its completion and is showing six former keepers (including some during life as the Sierra). The Tiger is offered with a history file which includes a large collection of invoices relating to the build, MOT certificates dating back to 2008, documents relating to the SVA and registration, original Tiger sales literature, a current V5C document with the car correctly registered as a Tiger, and the E1 is also due to be possessing a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale.

Reg No: E497 KDL

Chassis No: 10294500007054

MOT: April 2023

First registered in 1988 and presented in white with green accents and a rather wonderful period interior, this Bremer was purchased by the vendor in April last year from a friend who had owned the vehicle since it was just a few years old. Unusually, ‘E497 KDL’ is fitted with a 2.3 litre petrol engine, giving a little more grunt than the diesel variants offered. In addition, the camper also benefits from having received a gas conversion, as well as an awning, scooter rack, swivelling passenger seat, original VHS video and TV, heater, safe, three way fridge and roof cover. After part recommissioning following a period of storage by the previous owner, the vehicle has been subject to further recommissioning by the vendor. These works include wheel refurbishment with 5 new tyres, a brake overhaul, fuel system overhaul with a solenoid cut-out fitted adjacent to the gas tank, replacement gas tank filler valve, carburettor overhaul, the water heater reconditioned (although please note this has been fitted but not re-commissioned yet), as well as the vehicle being wax-oiled and a replacement roof light fitted.

Now displaying just 30,270 miles on the odometer, believed to be genuine, as well as just 2 former keepers on the V5C, ‘E497 KDL’ is offered with a history file including a number of documents, invoices and receipts for recent work. Please note the toilet cassette requires replacement and the water tank will need sterilising before use.

1971 Mercedes-Benz 600 ‘Grosser’ Saloon

86

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000* Reg No: HBY 157J

Chassis No: 100.012-22-001909

MOT: July 2023

Unveiled to a select group of journalists at Val de Poix in Belgium on 28th August 1963, the MercedesBenz 600 was a mind-blowing achievement. Dubbed ‘The Super Mercedes’ by its creators, the newcomer took eight years to develop. Redefining what customers could expect from a high-end luxury car in terms of passenger comfort, safety and performance, the 600 was based around a monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent air-sprung suspension (self-levelling to the rear) and four-wheel disc brakes. Chosen because it was lighter, quieter and smaller than its electrical equivalent, the hydraulic system which controlled the operation of the windows, seats, heater vents, shock absorber adjustment, central locking and boot lid etc ran at 150-bar. Handbuilt and bench tested for 265 minutes, the model’s 6.3 litre SOHC V8 was conservatively rated at 250bhp and 369lbft of torque. Allied to four-speed automatic transmission, it endowed the Mercedes-Benz flagship with a nigh on 130mph top speed. Contemporary road testers waxed lyrical about the 600’s ride comfort, handling prowess and pace with some even suggesting the four-door saloon would embarrass many a sportscar cross country. Exquisitely trimmed, ‘The Super Mercedes’ could be specified with a bewildering array of extras such as a fridge, cocktail cabinet, glass division and fitted luggage etc. Many were fitted with air conditioning, illuminated rear picnic tables and privacy curtains. Styled by Paul Bracq and available in short or long wheelbase guise, the extended version could also be had with a landaulet roof and six doors. Fearsomely expensive, the 600 proved a hit with celebrities, tycoons and rulers around the world. Notable owners including Aristotle Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Coco Chanel and Idi Amin. Of the 2,677 built from 1963-1981, just 126 were UK-supplied.

According to copy Mercedes-Benz paperwork on file, chassis 001909 was supplied new to Lord Aschcombe. Henry Cubitt, 4th Baron Ashcombe served in the RAF during WW2 before becoming chairman of Holland, Hannen and Cubitts the family construction firm. The London-based ConsulGeneral for Monaco between 1961 and 1968, he was also notable as the uncle of, and godfather to, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall. After eleven years’ service to Baron Ashcombe, the 600 was sold to William McGill of Glasgow who kept it until 2014 commenting to a subsequent custodian that he never had any mechanical issues with the engine and gearbox. Indeed, Mr McGill recalled enjoying trips to Mercedes-Benz’s Stuttgart headquarters for servicing and only ever experiencing a major problem with the driver’s seat hydraulics (since cured). The luxury saloon’s third keeper had bases in the UK and Australia. As well as having chassis 001909 repainted in its current Dark Velvet Green and retrimmed in Cognac leather during 2014, the following year saw him have the Mercedes-Benz uplifted from Monaco to renowned 600 specialists Worle Fahrzeugtechnik of Sygenstein, Germany for attention to its air suspension, hydraulic system, brakes, alternator, shock absorber adjuster and engine (the latter receiving a new water pump etc).

Bought by Simon North in October 2015 and further treated to assorted new ignition system components and fresh tyres all round, ‘HBY 157J’ was sold to its current registered keeper during November 2018. In addition to a stainless-steel exhaust system, the past few years have seen this ‘Super Mercedes’ benefit from sundry re-chroming and new door rubbers. A car that may well have played host to the future Queen of England, this much loved 600 is offered for sale with V5C Registration document, parts book handbook and history file.

A sympathetic update of its much-loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. Featuring sill panels and a rounded wing/belt line, the newcomer’s sleeker sheet metal was the work of David Bache and clothed an improved chassis. Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel four-cylinder engines, the Land Rover could be had in 88-inch or 109-inch wheelbase guises.

Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system and the arrival of a 2.25-litre diesel engine. A 2.6-litre six-cylinder petrol engine was added to the 109-inch range for 1967. Export models had their headlamps repositioned in the front wings the following year with domestic ‘Landies’ gaining the same revised visage for 1969. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Series Land Rover ever made. As much part of the British Army as a regular soldier, Land Rovers have played their part in the military around the world for decades and are still in service today.

Under its previous owner this 1962 Land Rover SWB was the subject of some older improvements to the bodywork, including the fitment of a galvanised bulkhead. The original engine was replaced by an overhauled 2.5 litre diesel. Owned by the vendor for approximately 5 years and comes with a current V5C.

The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL roadsters were produced from 1989 through 2002. It replaced the R107 in 1989 and was, in turn, replaced by the R230 SL-Class in 2002 for the 2003 model year. The R129 models were produced as a two-door, two-seat roadster with an automated (electro-hydraulic), collapsible textile roof, with a shell-like, colour-matched, tonneau cover. All these particular models came standard with an aluminium detachable hardtop that was fitted by folding the canvas roof down and manually attaching the hardtop.

Manufactured in 1994, the SL 320 offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 26th of October that year, being fitted with the 3199cc straight-six engine allied to the five-speed automatic transmission. Finished in an attractive colour combination of metallic Azurite Blue with Pebble leather cloth interior upholstery, the Mercedes-Benz is accompanied by a body-colour hard-top and a Blue soft-top which was replaced around three years ago. Specified from new with light-alloy wheels, heated rear window, headlamp cleaning equipment, and anti-theft system, amongst others. Having just two former keepers, with the previous owner retaining the Mercedes-Benz for some 24 years, the SL has a recorded mileage of c.89,600 miles. Rated as ‘very good’ by the vendor in regard to engine, bodywork, paintwork, gearbox, interior trim and electrical equipment, the Mercedes-Benz is accompanied by MOT history and a current V5C document.

The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much-modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company’s AJ26 V8 engine.

Manufactured in 2001, this XKR Coupe was first UK registered on the 5th of March that year. Fitted with the 3996cc Jaguar DOHC V8 engine allied to the five-speed ZF automatic transmission, ‘Y106 BWN’ is finished in Dark Blue Metallic with a complementing Black leather interior upholstery. Having covered just 68,125 miles from new (at the time of consignment), the Jaguar has had been in current ownership since 2019 with seven former keepers. Benefitting from much recent improvement, a full professional repaint was provided in 2018 (reportedly due to just a few minor blemishes), a new headlining was fitted two years ago and recently it was shod with new tyres. Rated by the vendor as having a ‘good’ interior; being ‘very good’ in regards to bodywork, paintwork, engine, electrical equipment and gearbox; the paintwork is rated as ‘excellent’. Offered with MOT history, an MOT certificate until May 2023 and a current V5C document.

The Daimler Sovereign was a name applied to a sequence of luxury cars built by Jaguar but carrying the Daimler badge between 1966 and 1983 and were based on contemporary Jaguar body shells, chassis and engines. The launch of the Jaguar XJ6 in 1968 and its Daimler sister in 1969 redefined expectations in the luxury car sector.

Manufactured on 23 November 1978 and first registered March of 79, this particular Daimler is presented in the attractive combination of Dark Blue with contrasting Beige leather interior. Presented for sale having been in current ownership for the last 5 years, ‘GVF 149T’ was subject to extensive works spanning the last 3 years of its previous ownership. These works included an engine and gearbox overhaul, as well as air conditioning being fitted, electronic ignition and oil cooler. Now showing just 97,104 miles on the odometer and 5 former keepers on the V5C document, this particular example comes with a history file including its original leather wallet with handbook, workshop repair manual, Jaguar parts catalogue, Barretts parts catalogue, MOTs dating back to 1986, heritage certificate, a small collection of invoices and 3 sets of keys. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment and transmission as ‘Very Good’, with the paintwork and interior trim ‘Good’.

Ford introduced the Model A as a replacement for its long-running Model T in 1928. To upstage rival Chevrolet’s six-cylinder, Ford offered its first V-8 engine in 1932. The cast iron flathead V-8 was a tremendous value for the money, offering 75 horsepower from its 221-cubic-inch displacement and proved so popular Ford discontinued its four-cylinder engine in March of the 1934 model year, and the powerplant, which would come to be known as simply the “Flathead,” would serve as the basis for many hot rods for years to come.

The Syd Enever-designed MGA was a breath of fresh air for the Abingdon marque. Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, it featured a separate chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and was powered by the 1489cc straight-four BMC B Series engine. ‘YLT 38’ is an original right-hand drive example of the MG A. Built at Abingdon during the week of 21st November 1958 and despatched to the distributor on 24th November 1958 with the following specification: MPH speedometer, ‘disc wheels’, Blue tonneau cover and adjustable steering column.

First registered in Eastbourne on 04 June 1935, this unusual UK assembled, and thus home market V8 Cabriolet is offered for sale for the first time in a staggering 55 years. ‘’JK 4687’’ was purchased by the vendor in 1967 from a private individual located near RAF Bury St Edmunds, or USAAF Station 48, as it was known by the 350,000 American Air Force personnel who operated from this site. Reportedly, this particular vehicle had been owned by a number of US Air Force pilots living in and around the base at the time. A reminder of back home, perhaps? Who knows. The car was in running condition at the time of purchase but did require attention.

Present with the car is a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate which shows the car was originally finished in Ash Green with a Grey interior and Blue soft top. Today, the car wears Glacier Blue paintwork following restoration work which included bodywork and a repaint. The interior of ‘YLT 38’ has been retrimmed in Black with a Light Blue piping and benefitted from a new soft top in Grey, supplied by Prestige Autotrim. The history file contains many photographs showing the level of the restoration work completed upon ‘YLT 38’ plus many receipts and historical documentation, amongst the many invoices are those for parts from Moss Motors Ltd, and MGOC Spares Ltd.

Only a couple of years after, in the 1970s, ‘JK 4687’ was subject to restoration. Works included an engine overhaul, replacement gearbox and a repaint in the colour it is offered in today. The interior was left until the 1990s, when it was subsequently imported from a well-known US firm ‘LeBaron Bonney’ and installed into the vehicle. Still retaining its original registration, the car now displays some patina from its older repaint and is largely in ‘stock’ condition, other than a 12v conversion for increased useability.

Presenting in BL British Racing Green, this TR7 is wearing the ‘TR8’ moniker symbolising the fitment of V8 power in a small 2 seater roadster, an attractive combination in motoring history. With 4 former keepers shown on the HPI, this TR7 with a retro-fitted V8, has been in the current ownership since 2017. Appearing fresh and presentable, it benefits from a new Tan hood that complements the attractive factory Tartan and Tan vinyl upholstery.

This TR7 V8 benefits from a number of improvements and upgrades. It has been fitted with power steering, electronic ignition, and a Kenlowe fan. The most noticeable upgrade has been a professional V8 conversion over 20 years ago, with the engine ‘built’ by Real Steel of London. Work completed included a Holly carb, Viper camshaft, a 4 branch manifold, stage one head and a Power House stainless steel exhaust. There are invoices on file for the engine build. Post- build, the engine has been fully balanced up to approximately 210bhp, with that mated to an ‘S’ spec (V8 3.5L) gearbox and the carburettor was set up in 2019. Other benefits include an oil change this year. To deal with the power, the TR7 has been fitted with Koni shock absorbers and upgraded brakes. Displaying a credible 112,000 miles, ‘VAR 550W’ is accompanied by a Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices and old MOTs.

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: KAJ 163N

MOT: TBC

Chassis No: BBATPA79227 Introduced in June of 1968, the RS2000 MkI was destined to be the last model to be built at Ford’s legendary AVO (Advanced Vehicle Operations) Plant. Based around the same strengthened Type 49 monocoque bodyshell as its predecessors, the newcomer boasted equally predictable/entertaining handling thanks to the provision of Macpherson strut independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, servo-assisted disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. An unusual tortoise/hare hybrid in that it essentially combined the pace of the highly-strung RS1600 with the reliability of the more pedestrian Mexico, the RS2000 was powered by the Blue Oval’s new 1993cc SOHC four-cylinder ‘Pinto’ engine.

Manufactured in 1975, chassis number ‘BBATPA79227’ was supplied new to the European market. Discovered by the vendor in Malta in 2016, when on holiday in the country, the vendors purchased the car from the owner and arranged for its repatriation to the United Kingdom that same year. An evocation of the iconic RS2000, ‘KAJ 163N’ began life originally as a 1300 two-door, since being fitted with a 2.1 litre Pinto straight-four engine allied to a five-speed Type-9 manual gearbox. Finished in Black with a complementing Black interior upholstery, the Escort has been fitted with new RS alloy wheels and tyres, a twin-box RS2000 exhaust system; RS2000 alloy sump and bell housing during current ownership, as well as the RS steering wheel.

Subject to much further improvement while with the vendor, the work has included a full interior refresh with retrimmed seats and a Newton Commercial carpet set; bare metal repainting; new front discs and pads; new top mounts, ball joints and Bilstein front struts; a replacement distributor; and rolling road tuning in 2021.

With a recorded mileage of 73,337 miles (at time of consignment), the Ford is accompanied by a history file comprising of a collection of invoices relating to the vendor’s improvements, previous MOT certificates and a current V5C. The Escort is also expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale.

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 13444 Built to the same high standards as its more expensive brethren, the Alvis Firebird was only current from August 1934 to December 1936 by which time some 450 had been made. Powered by an 1842cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 75mph.

According to its accompanying copy build record, chassis 13444 was fitted with engine 13894. One of just twenty-five cars to be bodied as a Four-Seater Tourer by Cross & Ellis, it was finished in Desert Sand with Brown leather upholstery and despatched to Messrs Windmill & Lewis of Bristol on 25th February 1936. First registered as ‘BRU 333’ to H.G. Ackland of Bournemouth two days later, the Firebird was bought by A.S. Broughton on 18th November 1952 at an indicated 28,000 miles. A replacement for the Alvis 12/60 which his family had outgrown, the Tourer was pressed into service as an everyday car for the next twenty-four years plus holidays throughout the UK, France and Switzerland.

Having covered some 175,000 miles by the time it was inherited

by A.C. Broughton during 1980, the Tourer was treated to an extensive, ‘ground-up’ restoration early the following decade.

Fitted with new white metal bearings, pistons and hardened valve seats (for unleaded fuel), the original engine was also balanced. Repairs were made to the woodwork as necessary, and replacement wings / running boards fabricated. Repainted and retrimmed in keeping with its initial build specification, ‘BRU 333’ was uprated with a fan and flashing indicators in 1996.

Enjoyed by the younger Mr Broughton for leisure purposes only, the Alvis completed numerous UK tours and a 2,000mile trek across New Zealand in 2003. Entering the current (fourth) ownership ten years ago, the Firebird has continued its wandering ways via numerous UK and European sorties.

Still highly presentable, ‘BRU 333’ sports a period correct RAC Associate badge, Alvis-centred headlights and Lucas ‘Owl Eye’ rear lights. A rare opportunity to acquire a highly original PostVintage Thoroughbred with a wonderful provenance.

Chassis No: 170079DN The immortal MkII Jaguar remains one of Jaguar’s most widely admired Saloons. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its MkI forebear, the newcomer was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside and could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar’s race-proven XK engine. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and much more, with the attention to detail and build quality remarkable for the price - these cars punched above their weight.

‘GJG 775D’ is a desirable 3.4 litre example mated to a manual transmission. Subject to an older restoration finished circa 1999, this particular example, previously grey, is now presented in an elegant combination of Indigo Blue with contrasting red leather upholstery. Offered with just 70,647 miles on the odometer and 4 keepers on the V5C document, this charming MkII Jaguar is offered for sale for the first time since it was purchased by the vendor in 2004. In its current ownership, ‘GJG 775D’ has been largely self-maintained by its ex Jaguar mechanic owner, and was subject to an engine overhaul in 2007. The vendor notes that there was no wear on the crankshaft at this time, thus supporting the belief that the mileage displayed is genuine. The total cost of this overhaul was £3,784.

Accompanied with the vehicle is a history file containing 22 MOT certificates dating back as far as 1981, with an MOT every year in its current ownership. Also included is a heritage certificate confirming its original engine is present, workshop manual, parts catalogue, new handbook, Jaguar MkI & MkII book by James Taylor, 2 sets of keys and some photographs of the vehicle in primer and top coat during its restoration in previous ownership.

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: T.B.C

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 818631079541 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 fourwheel 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 circa 400 right-hand drive Lancia Fulvia 1600 HF cars made (from a total production run of 3,670), this particular example was originally delivered to the UK. Finished in a striking Blue Metallic with a Dark Red leather interior and Dark Blue carpets, this Fulvia was fully restored at vast expense by the current vendor and upgraded to Fanalone specification. Using only original Lancia parts supplied by renowned Lancia Specialist Omicron and having much of the work carried out by them, this ‘Tributo Fanalone’ was remodelled with a Fanalone front grille including the driving lamps. After a full respray to its current showroom condition, a new radiator, water pump, fuel pump, starter motor and alternator were fitted, along with a new leather interior, headlining and carpets. The refurbished alloy wheels carry new tyres and all the brake calipers and disks have been renewed, as have the master cylinder, the servo and the battery. This rare RHD 1600HF, said by the vendor to be in excellent condition all round and running and driving beautifully, is offered for sale with a file of invoices from Omicron and a current V5C.

Introduced in August 1991, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class (codenamed W140) was a technological tour de force. Renowned for its wonderful build quality and refinement, it boasted such niceties as double pane window glazing and self-closing doors / boot. Based upon a rigid monocoque bodyshell equipped with all round independent suspension (double-wishbone front / multi-link rear), fourwheel disc brakes and power assisted steering, its imposing ‘footprint’ was belied by excellent road manners. A challenger for the title of ‘best car in the world’, the Stuttgart manufacturer’s flagship could be had in standard saloon, long wheelbase or fixed head coupe guises. The subsequent W220 iteration of the S -Series, and former flagship of the Mercedes Benz line-up at the turn of the last century, is beginning to be appreciated due to their comfort and drivability. They offer a myriad of creature comforts and useful options 20 years later. Perhaps the S500 status as a classic is secure.

With 19,400 miles from new displaying on the odometer, this example of the Benz flagship shows just 2 former keepers from new, as shown on HPI. Finished in a Dark Blue Metallic known as Tanzanite Blue, the interior presents wonderfully in a complementing Cream leather. The front and rear number plates still wear the ‘Alan Day’ Mercedes dealer plate frames. It is being offered with the bookpack, handbooks and service book, the car was last serviced in 2019 at 13,398 miles.

1972 Triumph Stag

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

Reg No: GLG 9K

Chassis No: LD11622BW

MOT: Exempt

Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc/drum brakes as standard. With 7 former keepers since 1972, this manual gearbox Stag in White has been the subject of periods of mechanical and cosmetic work by its enthusiast owners over the years.

In recent times, ‘GLG 9K’ was the subject of an engine overhaul in August 2021. Bills show a list of items purchased relating to the completion of head gasket and timing chain replacement; we are told this was work carried out by the vendor. The engine, however, is currently knocking and running in such a manner that would require investigating and assessing before any use. Examples of previous work includes; the fitting of electronic ignition and new coil in 2021; recommissioning work in 2016, at a cost of £2500, including a new overdrive and clutch. There are many receipts dating back over many years of ownership. Back in 1995 there was mechanical overhaul work which included the conversion of the gearbox from an automatic to a manual transmission. A multitude of Stag-related publications is present with the car including a Haynes manual and two Autobooks manuals on the Stag. A copy of the owner’s handbook is also with the car plus a collection of invoices.

Chassis No: WDB46023827047614

MOT: None

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler’s history with a span of 32 years. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979.

A rare and desirable UK-supplied example, the G-Wagon on offer was manufactured in 1987 and was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of March that year. Fitted with the 2299cc straight-four M115 petrol engine with the scarce five-speed manual transmission, the MercedesBenz is finished in Black with Black interior upholstery, and benefits from the fitment of a genuine AMG body kit and wheels. Entering into the current ownership in 2019, regretfully, shortly after the tale takes a sad turn here as the vendor left the G-Wagon with a restoration company to complete some improvements who came into financial difficulty, and the work was never completed and the Mercedes was not returned to the owner. Located by the police earlier this year and delivered back to the vendor, ‘D218 FBJ’ will likely require some recommissioning, although is running. Accompanied by a V5C document, a set of keys, and a clear HPI report.

A late example, this 1999 Cabriolet was supplied new via Listers Audi of Stratford-Upon-Avon on the 14th of August that year to its one and only keeper from new. Well-specified from new with optional extras that included ‘lifestyle’ paintwork, front sports seats and steering wheel, eight-spoke alloys, ABS, ventilated front discs, CD-autochanger with four in-car speakers, and power hood. Costing £26,310.60 new, the Audi is fitted with the 1781cc straight-four engine allied to the desirable (and optional) five-speed manual transmission and is finished in the striking colour combination of Berry Pearl ‘lifestyle’ paintwork with half-Black leather and half-Grey interior upholstery, featuring Vavona wood trim inserts.

Having covered a mere 24,634 miles from new, the vendor informs that the Cabriolet has never had any paintwork since leaving the factory. Offered by a detailed history file, that contains the original book pack in Audi wallet (including the original stamped service book displaying thirteen entries – the majority of which are from Audi main dealers); original sales literature including an ‘as specified’ dealer configuration of the car and a VHS tape supplied with the car new; fourteen previous MOT certificates dating back to 2002; the original sales invoices; numerous servicing invoices; and a current V5C document.

Estimate: £16,000 - £18,000* Reg No: F785 JAT

MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: WDB1070412A087582 The ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz’s renowned R107-series, the 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Equipped with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection, its in-line SOHC M103 2962cc engine developed some 177bhp and 188lbft of torque (outputs sufficient for a reputed 125mph top speed). Sharing the same two-door monocoque bodyshell, all-around independent coil-sprung suspension, and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it further benefited from improved anti-corrosion treatment and ABS brakes. Only in production between 1985 and 1989, just 13,443 300SLs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.

Manufactured in 1988, the 300 SL on offer was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being dispatched new through Gerard Mann Mercedes-Benz of Birmingham to the first owner on the 1st of August that year. Fitted with the aforementioned SOHC 2962cc engine mated to the automatic transmission, the R107 is finished in Smoke Silver with Pebble leather interior upholstery, as well as a Dark Brown soft-top and a factory hard-top. In long-term previous ownership (from 1998 until 2014), ‘F785 JAT’ has had seven former keepers with the Mercedes-Benz being acquired by the vendor in 2014 and has covered 90,856 miles from new at time of consignment.

Specified from new with optional extras including an outside temperature monitor, rear seats, paintwork preservation, and heated rear window, 300 SL has been subject to approximately £1,000 worth of improvement in preparation for sale. ‘F785 JAT’ is offered with a history file that includes the handbook, service guide, and original stamped service book which displays 26 entries (many from Mercedes-Benz main dealers). Further offered with a collection of invoices dating back to 2006, as well as a current MOT certificate until July 2023, and a current V5C document.

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CRH15259 The first models to bear the Corniche moniker were the Coupe and Convertible versions of the Silver Shadow launched in 1971. Penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, initial assembly was carried out by Mulliner Park Ward. The cars were then transported to Crewe for installation of the running gear, before returning to London for trimming, painting and finishing.

Supplied new by H.R Owen of Berkeley Street, London on 07 June 1973 for a J F Nash Esq and presented in Regal Red with matching Red upholstery, Beige headlining and Cherry Red carpets, ‘WEU 346L’ featured Gold fine lines on the bodywork. Specification at that time also included Fog lamps and lambswool over rugs, also in Regal Red. Acquired by its current keeper on 18 July 2012, this particular example was enjoyed for a few years, looked after by Silver Chalice Rolls-Royce specialists with invoices yearly for servicing and other works until it was subject to a full respray in 2016 with I.K Classics in its original Regal Red, along with further mechanical works. More recently in March 2022, ‘WEU 346L’ was subject to mechanical refurbishment with Prestige Services, Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists of Leeds, in preparation for sale. Works included replacement discs, pads, and brake fluid; engine mounts; replacement reconditioned radiator; handbrake overhaul; replacement driveshaft boots; replacement intermediate exhaust section and downpipe; replacement camber bushes and rubber boots; the underbody pipework Waxoyled and a 6,000 mile service. The total cost of this work was £6,711.91 and the result is a vehicle ready for its new owner to enjoy.

Included with the vehicle is the Rolls-Royce build booklet, a large collection of previous MOTs dating back as far as 1982, two service and maintenance booklets with stamps dating back to 1972 at 2942 miles, Radiomobile Car Radio operating instruction booklets, a number of previous invoices and receipts and the V5C document which displays 6 former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission as ‘Very Good’, with the interior trim ‘Good’.

MOT: Exempt

Introduced in 1946, the Riley RMB was one of the first British cars launched after WW2 to feature a new chassis design. With independent torsion-bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering, it was praised by the motoring press for its excellent handling qualities. Its successor, the RMF arrived in 1951 featuring a host of mechanical revisions. An open propshaft now linked the four-speed manual gearbox to a new hypoid bevel rear axle, whilst the anchors were courtesy of Girling hydraulic brakes.

In production for less than two years, just 1,050 RMFs are thought to have been sold.

Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan ‘Safety Fast’.

Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leafsprung ‘live’ rear axle, its 1798cc ‘B’ series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

Based on a shortened Riley RMF chassis, this Special has been hand-built. The construction has utilised aluminium bodywork and wooden frame over the reduced RMF chassis. There is an original 1930s ‘fold flat’ windscreen built into the functional design. It goes without saying that the old quote from Lotus’ Colin Chapman will ring true with many Special builders, “To add speed, add lightness”.

The power part of the power to weight ratio, is supplied by a Lincoln 4.8L V12 engine mated to the good old Riley gearbox and running gear. The engine was rebuilt at the time of fitting. The vendor says that the car runs and drives but it has been in storage for some years, so it will require assessment and recommissioning work before it is unleashed once more.

Finished in Blaze Orange and with only 4 former keepers showing on the V5C, ‘NPA 269L’ was supplied new by University Motors Ltd of Surrey. The Roadster was the subject of a lot of expense in 2007 and 2013. In 1992, the car was given a mechanical overhaul by Pegasus Classics. There has also been a previous engine overhaul of the 1950cc engine with its stage 3 head. Over the years the MGB has benefitted from a number of improvements, including a Kenlowe fan, 4 new tyres and a new battery last year. ‘Fast road’ specification Bilstein front shock absorbers have also been fitted at some stage. Accompanying the MG is a collection of photographs of the engine, a large collection of invoices dating back to 1973, the original passport to service, handbook, workshop manual, an original sales invoice and a collection of old MOTs. ‘NPA 269L’ also benefits from having a Heritage Certificate on file.

Building on the success of the first generation of the Golf GTI in 1976, the German manufacturer launched production of the Golf Mk2 GTI in 1984 to counter the arrival of the Peugeot 205 GTI, which would soon become its greatest rival. Quickly, the Mk2 GTI suffered from comparison with its French counterpart, which partially lead to Volkswagen offering the new 16V from March 1985. Those who could not afford the formidable Golf GTi Oettinger, released 4 years earlier, would finally be able to satisfy their cravings for high revs thanks to the 139hp produced from the four-cylinder house.

Manufactured in 1988, the GTi offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 18th of April that year, being fitted with the 1781cc straight-four engine with the five-speed manual transmission.

Finished in Green with Black cloth interior upholstery, the Golf has had just two former keepers, with the previous owner retaining the Volkswagen for some 32 years. With a recorded mileage of c.65,500 miles, the Golf features small sports bumpers, BBS-style wheels, and a factory fitted sunroof. Rated as ‘very good’ by the vendor in regard to engine, bodywork, paintwork, gearbox, interior trim and electrical equipment, MOT history and current V5C document.

The Fiat Barchetta roadster, pronounced ‘bar-KET-ta’ and which in Italian means ‘little boat’, was developed between 1990 and 1994 with the project name `Tipo B Spider 176’ by Andreas Zapatinas and Alessandro Cavazza. Produced from February 1995 to June 2005, the Barchetta could accelerate from 0-60mph in 8.7 seconds and touch 124mph.

The Barchetta’s were only produced in left-hand drive form, however, this example is one of the cars supplied new to the UK via Fiat dealers, and one of even fewer converted to right-hand drive form in its early life. Finished in striking Lido Blue metallic paintwork with Black cloth interior upholstery, the Barchetta is fitted with the 1747cc straight-four engine allied to the five-speed manual transmission.

Having covered just 46,029 miles from new (at the time of consignment), ‘R186 URH’ has had just three former keepers and has resided in current registered ownership since 2014. Benefitting from a recent new hood, the Fiat previously was supplied with a new radiator in 2014 and a clutch slave cylinder in 2015. Fitted with a new timing belt, water pump, and alternator in 2021, the Barchetta possesses a 12-month, no advisory MOT certificate. Offered with a history file that comprises book pack with handbook, invoices relating to servicing and work completed, and a current V5C document.

1903 Autocar Model VIII 12hp Two-Cylinder Rear Entrance Tonneau

109

No Reserve* Reg No: TYP 55

Chassis No: 1288

MOT: Exempt

Notable as the oldest surviving motor vehicle brand in the Western Hemisphere, The Autocar Company grew out of the Pittsburgh Motor Vehicle Company with its name change being prompted by a move to new premises in Ardmore, Pennsylvania during 1899. A talented engineer, founder Louis Semple Clarke was an early adopter of spark plugs for petrol engines, shaft drive and wear-reducing oil circulation systems. An experimental tricycle, ‘Autocar No.1’ is now in the Smithsonian Museum Collection as is the initial example of the marque’s 1901 design which was the first American car to feature shaft drive. Available in Green or Red, the Autocar Type VIII sported Four-Passenger Rear Entrance Tonneau coachwork. Powered by a horizontally opposed twin-cylinder 12hp engine, its three-speed transmission was said to permit speeds of between 3mph and 35mph. Initially available with tiller steering, a wheel was later made optional. All-up weight was estimated to be 760kg.

Responsible for building the first truck to be made publicly available in North America, The Autocar Company stopped making passenger vehicles entirely during 1911. Some 111 years later, it remains in existence as a subsidiary of the GVW Group LLC. The early history of chassis 1288 is a mystery. However, it is understood to have belonged to a Mrs Harriet Russell of Kansas by 1960. Still resident in the same locale when the vendors’ father bought it from the estate of Jasper G. and Bernice S. Wiglesworth forty-four years later, the Autocar was subsequently imported to the UK and issued with a Certificate of Date by the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain on October 16th, 2006. Red when it first arrived on these shores, the Type VIII has since been repainted Green. Sporting the distinctive registration number ‘TYP 55’ which would arguably be more appropriate for a Bugatti, the four-seater has been enjoyed on numerous London to Brighton Veteran Car Runs (the most recent of which being 2016) not to mention the Royal Irish Automobile Club’s 2015 Pioneer Run. Dry stored in recent years, the Autocar is missing its brass radiator but otherwise appears to be substantially complete. Coming from a deceased estate and in need of recommissioning / refurbishment, this handsome, twin-cylinder, four-seater Veteran nevertheless has the makings of a rewarding project.

No Reserve* Reg No: BS 8509

Chassis No: 10062

MOT: Exempt

Comparatively short-lived with mentions in contemporary literature ranging from 1898 to 1902, Phebus tricycles, quadricycles and automobilettes were manufactured by Noe Boyer et Cie of Suresnes, Paris who were also agents for Societe Gladiator. Named after Phoebus, the Greek god responsible for driving the sun across the heavens each day, the French concern utilised proprietary De Dion Bouton and Aster engines. In 1899, a De Dion Bouton-powered Phebus tricycle completed a 1,600km Paris-Amsterdam-Paris route in thirty-nine hours, while that same year saw an Asterpropelled Phebus Quadricycle cover 2,000 miles in fifteen days. F.F. Wellington of London and F.A. Bennett & Co of Manchester were appointed as UK concessionaires (though, the former seems to have done the bulk of the advertising).

The only known survivor of its kind, this charming Veteran was formerly part of the renowned Ward Brothers Collection. The accompanying Vehicle Identification and Certificate of Eligibility report complied by the Dating Advisory Committee of the Veteran Car Company Ltd runs to sixty-eight pages and makes for interesting reading. It confirms that the Forecar’s tubular steel chassis is of typical Phebus design as is the use of fully elliptical front suspension and rear C-springs. Less certainty surrounds the front subframe which may or may not be of Phebus manufacture but the majority of the wooden body is thought to be original. The single-cylinder De Dion Bouton 2¼ hp engine has been dated to July 1899 and sports a later (but still period) aftermarket, water-cooled cylinder head. A two-speed gearbox is fitted with external band clutches. Concessions to modernity and reliability include an electric starter motor and Amal-type carburettor.

Entrusted to John Foy Veteran & Vintage Motorcar Restoration for a re-trim and sundry fettling by its previous keeper in June 2010 at a cost of £7,372.06, the Phebus entered the current family ownership via our December 2016 Chateau Impney auction. Entered for the 2011, 2012 and 2016 London to Brighton Veteran Car Runs, the Forecar has been inactive of late and thus requires recommissioning.

The front and rear seat squabs have been mislaid but may have been located by the time of sale.

Currently UK registered as ‘BS 8509’, the two-seater is offered for sale with history file, framed Phebus advertising poster and a retention certificate for the more appropriate number plate ‘RIG 1899’ which is valid until 2027.

No Reserve* Reg No: 993 UXJ

Chassis No: 3-CP-64

MOT: Exempt

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 Rolls-Royce’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 shock absorbers and gearbox driven servo-assisted 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, eight-bearing 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 100mph top speed. Only built for three short seasons, just 727 Phantom IIIs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.

Initially bodied as an Enclosed Limousine by Park Ward, chassis 3-CP-64 was supplied new to F.C. Burgess Esq of Llanfoist House, Clifton Down, Bristol. Accompanying copy chassis cards reveal that the Rolls-Royce was maintained with factory parts - many ‘fitted by our man’ - up until WW2. Sold to Frank Bowden Esq. of Pont St, Cadogan Square, London SW1 in February 1946, the Phantom III is understood to have been clothed with its current and very extravagant two-door Fixed Head Coupe body by Josep Vert of Gerona, Spain during the 1960s. Carroceria Vert are thought to have rebodied twenty-two Rolls-Royces in total with most being open cars. Their design for chassis 3-CP-64, however, saw its seating capacity reduced from seven / eight to two! A real eyeful with a profligate tail, it is perhaps little wonder that the Phantom III migrated to America. Taken into stock

by John Verba’s New England Classic Autos, the Fixed Head Coupe was said to be in very good mechanical condition with its V12 engine benefiting from a carburettor overhaul and retrofitted lifters before being consigned to Barrett-Jackson’s Arizona auction in January 1991. Further boasting a refurbished interior using a West of England cloth headlining, Connolly hides, Wilton carpets and English Yew and Carpathian Burled Elm wood veneers, it was bought by the vendors’ late father for $45,000. Showing an indicated 95,854 miles to its odometer at the time, the same instrument now displays 95,887 miles. Re-registered with the DVLA as ‘993 UXJ’ during March 2005, this believed unique Rolls-Royce has spent much of the intervening seventeen years in dry storage. Thought to be substantially complete but now in need of recommissioning / restoration, this believed unique RollsRoyce makes a refreshing change from all the more conventionally bodied Phantom IIIs out there.

Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, copy RREC chassis records, 1991 contract of sale and sundry paperwork.

1922 Mercer Series 5 Touring

112

No Reserve* Reg No: BS 9704

Chassis No: 18490

MOT: Exempt

Founded in 1909, the Mercer Automobile Company enjoyed the backing of the Roebling and Kuser families. Heavyweights in their respective fields, the former were responsible for designing and building the Brooklyn Bridge, while the latter had amassed a sizeable fortune from banking, bottling and brewing. Based in the New Jersey County of the same name, the fledgling marque’s most famous product - the Type 35 Raceabout – proved to be among the seminal sportscars of the Edwardian Era. A pared back two-seater powered by a 4.8-litre four-cylinder engine, it was reputedly good for 90mph and soon garnered an enviable competition pedigree with such notable drivers as Barney Oldfield and Brian de Palma. The subsequent Type 22-70 model featured a new L-head four-cylinder 4.9-litre powerplant, courtesy of incoming designer Eric H. Delling, and four-speed manual transmission thus maintaining Mercer’s reputation for high-performance machinery.

Keen to push further upmarket, the New Jersey concern poached A.C. Schultz from Locomobile in late 1916 (the same year in which their turnover exceeded $230,000). The adoption of a longer 132-inch (10ft 10in) wheelbase for the Sporting and Touring models yielded improved ride quality and greater passenger space. The subject of much Wall Street speculation when the Roebling family withdrew their interest following a series of tragedies, Mercer was bought by the Emlen S. Hare syndicate. Packard’s former New York Manager, Hare went on a buying spree snapping up Locomobile and Crane-Simplex too which left his backers overstretched. Introduced in 1919, the Mercer Series 5 could be had in Touring, Sporting, Runabout and Raceabout guises (all but the last utilising the 132-inch wheelbase). Well-engineered and well-built with a good turn of speed from its tried and tested 4.9-litre straight-four, the Series 5 could not prevent Mercer’s slide into receivership during July 1923. Production finally ceased two years later. Of the 5,000 Mercers built between 1909 and 1925, just 120 or so are thought to have survived to the present day.

A product of the Roaring Twenties, chassis 18490 celebrates its centenary this year having spent some six decades as part of the legendary Barney Pollard collection. Beginning with an old Cadillac that was taken as final payment on an overdue debt during the late 1930s, he went on to amass some 1,200 cars! Ranging up to 400 miles from his Detroit base, Mr Pollard purchased machinery at such a rate that at one stage he resorted to vertically suspending new acquisitions from roof trusses so as to maximise the indoor space available to him. Understood to have joined the collection during the early / mid-1940s at a time when its founder was buying up scrap iron and aluminium to keep the US government from requisitioning any of his prized possessions, the Mercer was reportedly treated to an extensive restoration during the late 1970s / early 1980s.

Retained by the Pollard family until shortly before the vendors’ late father bought it at RM Auctions’ Florida Collector Car Sale on 11-13th February 2005, the Series 5 Touring was UK registered as ‘BS 9704’ that same year. Granted a Vintage Sports Car Club ‘Buff Form’ during March 2006, it was subsequently repainted in its current Dark Green over Black scheme. Entered for the 2015 Classic Cars Challenge Rally which was due to run from Beijing to Shanghai, the event was cancelled at the last minute due to a large explosion in Tianjin. Safely shipped back, the Series 5 Touring has seen little use since then and as such will require recommissioning. Barney Pollard was renowned for buying well-preserved, low mileage cars whenever possible and ‘BS 9704’ appears to be highly original. A handsome, Vintage Tourer with performance that is said to be on par with a WO Bentley of the same age (its 10ft 10in wheelbase is the same as a 4½ Litre, while its engine is bigger), this rare Mercer is worthy of close inspection.

1929 Talbot 14/45 Doctor’s Coupe

113

No Reserve* Reg No: Unregistered

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 25234 Introduced in 1926, the 14/45 was notable as the first Talbot to be designed by the brilliant Georges Roesch. Benchmarked against the Rolls-Royce 20hp despite having an engine half the size, the newcomer’s highly efficient 1665cc straight-six OHV powerplant was notably free revving. Developing some 46bhp @ 4,500rpm and allied to four-speed manual transmission, it endowed the 14/45 with a respectable 65mph top speed. Underpinned by a conventional ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the Talbot could be had with a range of open and closed coachwork. Among the more expensive options, the Doctor’s Coupe incorporated wind-up windows and a well-insulated hood (though, passengers in the Dickey Seat rode exposed to the elements). The 14/45 and its 65 successor were the bedrock upon which Talbot rebuilt itself achieving nigh on 11,000 sales between them.

Reportedly first registered in London as ‘GU 7896’ on 29th April 1929, this rare, surviving Doctor’s Coupe is further understood to have had its engine overhauled by F.G. Wade-Palmer’s Jack O’ Lantern garage near Romsey, Hampshire during the 1960s. Belonging to Londoner Ryan Faulkner when Hans Otto Geigenberger purchased it in 1968, the Talbot relocated to Munich, Germany. Seemingly used for various events on the Continent – a surviving period photos shows it on the Allgemeiner Schnauferl Club’s Rally Antika – the Two-Seater with Dickey was bought by Rolf Ottman of the Hotel Alpinum, Mittleberg in 1972 and Gerhard Werner of Graz, Austria some seventeen years later.

Entering the current family ownership during 2014, the Doctor’s Coupe has yet to be re-registered in the UK. Dry stored for the last several years, the Talbot will require recommissioning prior to road use. Accompanying paperwork includes an original 14/45 handbook, expired German and Austrian registration documents and assorted STD Register literature.

1973 MG B GT V8

114

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: WFX 327M

MOT: February 2023

Chassis No: GD2D1309G ‘WFX 327M’ was first registered in 1973 and supplied new via Vincent’s of Yeovil. 6 years later in 1979, it was sold through Elton Motors, Westbury, with the purchase invoice present in the history file. Here, this particular example remained with this owner for 29 years until his passing in 2008; when it was then registered to his wife. Known to the family, the current owner tried to purchase this particular example in 2008, to which his offer was declined. After the car saw little use in the following years, though, she finally agreed to sell the car to him in 2016.

After its purchase, the current owner undertook a painstaking restoration spanning 500 hours over a four year period, finally complete in 2021. The results speak for themselves. Presented in Damask Red with contrasting blue cloth upholstery, this vehicle is offered for sale now arguably better than how it left the factory. Having covered less than 10 miles since completion with the engine still requiring running in after its rebuilt, the odometer now displays 90,556 miles with just 4 former keepers on the V5C Document and for good measure the car is offered with an MOT valid until 08 February 2023.

Accompanied with the vehicle is an impressive history file containing invoices for parts totalling nearly £22,000 over the restoration period. As well as this, a breakdown of works with monthly expenditures, MG & Leyland passport, original handbook with new copy, workshop manual and parts catalogues for both MGB and V8, Heritage Certificate which confirms its original engine and most MOT certificates dating back as far as 1983.

Also included are 2 full sets of keys, as well as a third set of keys with the ignition key and glovebox key.

1956 Volkswagen Type 1 ‘Beetle’

115

Estimate: £17,000 - £22,000* Reg No: Unregistered

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1123455 Along with the Ford Model T, Citroen 2CV and BMC Austin/ Morris Mini, the Volkswagen Beetle is generally recognised as being one of the elite pack of pop motoring icons. Its story is like no other. Sixty-six years of production, over 21 million examples manufactured, factories on five continents, etc. The statistics are as staggering as the car’s history. In 1933, Ferdinand Porsche was instructed to design and develop a ‘Volkswagen’ (People’s Car) that was basic, affordable, and capable of transporting two adults and three children at up to 100kmh. The newcomer finally went into production in 1938 and, while it inevitably evolved over the years, the basic concept was never altered - an enduring tribute to the genius of Dr. Porsche.

Presented in its original Green paintwork complemented by the original Tan interior, the car offered here was delivered new to the O’Brien family in New Zealand in 1956. The O’Briens kept the car until 2006 when it passed into the ownership of the current vendor. In 1967 the original 1192cc engine was replaced by a more powerful 1490cc. With the odometer showing just 81,204 unwarranted kilometres (50,458 miles) the vendor has described the paint, bodywork, interior, engine and transmission as being ‘Very Good’. Excitingly, the rare, original and complete(!) spare wheel-mounted Hazet toolkit is still with the car. The entire brake system, including all brake cylinders, linings and hoses was replaced in June 2022.

This Volkswagen comes with its original New Zealand registration document from 1956, as well as a modern New Zealand registration showing the current vendor’s ownership. The vendor will have the car UK-registered with all duties paid before the sale.

1967 MG B Roadster

116

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: NAH 267F

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: GHD3/117991 This MGB Roadster was purchased by CCHL in 2014, having been in previous ownership for some thirty-three years, and was provided with their ‘Rebuild Scheme’ that same year. The scheme includes a heritage body shell, professional painting, a fully reconditioned engine (with unleaded conversion), overhauled gearbox with overdrive and renewal of the clutch system, new wiring harness, renewed braking system, refurbished suspension and axles, new starting equipment, stainless steel exhaust system, considerable cosmetic work, and extensive new parts fitted throughout. Having covered just 4,177 miles since completion (at the time of consignment), the MG entered into current ownership in 2015, equating to just two keepers since CCHL’s completion.

Finished in Old English White with complementing Red leather interior upholstery, carpets, and Mohair hood, the MG is accompanied by a full tonneau cover and hood bag. Costing over £25,000 to build, this example’s specific features include chrome wire wheels; a Zuma RetroSound radio and speakers; interior upgrades with a walnut dashboard, wood rim Moto-lite steering wheel, and RV8 sports seats and headrests; GAZ adjustable shock absorbers; upgraded heater; electronic ignition; K&N air filters; brake servo unit; and cut-off switch. Subject to some further upgrades/improvements in 2015, the MG was provided with an oil cooler, additional engine tuning, and cosmetic tweaks costing some £2,000.

‘NAH 267F’ is offered with a history file that includes a reproduction handbook and service book (which displays 10 entries between 2016 and 2021); MOTs dating back to 2014, and a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2023; details of the CCHL ‘Rebuild Scheme’; an independent engineers report in 2014 shortly after completion giving a clean bill of health; a CD relating to the CCHL build; a BMHIT Heritage Certificate which shows that the car was originally manufactured as a GT but an accompanying Heritage Certificate for the Roadster heritage shell used by CCHL, and sales literature for the heritage shells; ownership history document; a current V5C and two sets of keys. Now ready to be used and enjoyed!

1968 MG B GT

117

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* Reg No: UWD 602G

MOT: July 2022

Chassis No: GHD4141299 Introduced in May of 1962, the monocoque MG B was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MG A models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings (the car turned the scales at 2028lb), reduced manufacturing costs, and notably tauter handling. Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative, with 2+2 seating, not being offered until October 1965. At launch, the model was powered by a threebearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, this unit was replaced by a fivebearing unit two years into production. The MkII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced.

Chassis number ‘GHD4141299’ is a home-market example, being manufactured and registered new in the United Kingdom in 1968. Fitted with the 1798cc straight-four engine with the four-speed manual transmission, this MGB GT is finished in the appealing colour combination of Red, complemented by Red interior upholstery with Black piping and matching Red carpets. Showing a recorded and credible mileage of 93,163 miles, the MG is showing three former keepers on HPI. Subject to a comprehensive body restoration during 2019-2020 which included a professional body restoration, interior retrim, and engine refresh with carburettor overhaul, the MG also previously benefitted from a front brake upgrade kit in 2015 and a new exhaust in 2016.

In the last couple of months, ‘UWD 602G’ has also been provided with refurbished wire wheels and spinners at the cost of some £500. Fitted with double front fog lights, Banjo steering wheel, radio blanking plate, and MG stainless steel door sill protectors, the BGT is offered with a history file which includes a collection of invoices relating to the work completed, previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C document.

1993 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II

118

Estimate: £10,000 - £15,000* Reg No: K144 PGN

MOT: December 2022

Chassis No: SCAZS02A3PCH46520 Although, based on the Shadow floorpan, the Spirit offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe’s engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine to a muted hush. Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Spirit II featured a sophisticated automatic ride control system that adapted to changing road conditions almost instantaneously, ergonomically enhanced `new look’ dashboard, four-speed automatic transmission and standard-fit alloy wheels.

This Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II was delivered new in 1993 by Malayan Motors, the official Rolls-Royce agents in Singapore.

Built to right-hand drive specification, this Royce was ordered in Brooklands Green with a Magnolia interior piped in Spruce Green.

To special order, the steering wheel was supplied in Spruce Green and the lightest available burr walnut veneers were selected for the interior.

In 1998 the Silver Spirit was repatriated to the UK and its subsequent owners have kept the car in outstanding condition.

From the immaculate interior to the almost flawless exterior the car looks very close to the way it did when it left the factory. According to the vendor ‘it drives as well as it looks’ and the underside is said to be in excellent condition. The car comes with a big file of invoices from specialists, copies of the build sheets, old MOTs and old and current V5Cs.

1960 Triumph TR3A

119

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000* Reg No: 598 UYJ

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TS66935L Introduced in October 1955, the TR3 was indeed a little different from the preceding TR2. Changes to the Standard Vanguardderived 2-litre engine boosted power from 90 to 95bhp, but the most obvious difference was the adoption of an ‘egg box’ radiator grille. The engine developed 100bhp courtesy of a new cylinder head by mid-1956; then in August, Girling front disc brakes and the stronger Phase III Vanguard rear axle were standardised.

Cosmetically revised, but mechanically indistinguishable, the TR3A was phased-in during 1957. New front end styling featured a full-width grille incorporating sidelights/indicators, and for the first time there were locking door and boot handles plus an improved interior.

Finished in a striking Powder Blue with a Black interior, this particular American-market TR3A was repatriated back to the UK in 2014. It underwent bodywork improvements and a respray together with an engine and gearbox overhaul in March/April 2015. In September of that same year the car was fitted with rack & pinion steering and an electric fan. In the last twelve months the car has benefitted from much expenditure on engine maintenance including overhauled carburettors and is described as having a “strong engine with good oil pressure” and being “mechanically strong with everything working as it should”.

1960 Bristol 406

120

1 of just 174 examples made Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: 2112 WA

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 406 5354 In the autumn of 1946, the Bristol Car Division unveiled the 400 saloons powered by a Filton-built, mildly modified version of the BMW 328 engine. The 406 two-door saloon introduced in 1957 was the last of the Filton-engined Bristols, its OHV straight-six pushrod engine fed by triple Solex carburettors having been enlarged to 2216cc to try to compete with the more modern powerpacks offered by Bristol’s competition, and now known as the ‘Bristol 110 Series’. It was identified by the absence of the then-familiar bonnet scoop of its predecessors and was one of the first saloon cars of its class to feature disc brakes on all four wheels.

One of just 174 examples of the 406 manufactured, this 1960 example was supplied new to an industrialist, Mr Webster, of the Sheffield Twist Drill & Steel Co. Later owned by Sir Mark Goodsen (3rd Baronet) and additionally Peter Lovett of the Dick Lovett Group, the 406 is a matching numbers example, being fitted with the desirable 110-series 2216cc straight-six engine allied to the four-speed manual transmission. Pleasingly retaining the original Sheffield registration number, the 406 is finished in the striking colour combination of Metallic Silver/Grey paintwork deep Red leather interior upholstery trim. The Bristol entered into the vendor’s large private collection in 2019.

Benefiting from c.£15,000 worth of improvement with Bristol specialists Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd. in 2017 (totalling some 171 hours labour), the work completed encompassed chassis and bodywork restoration, front suspension overhaul, brake system overhaul, a replacement steering gaiter, dashboard re-veneering, servicing and further fettling. Invited to be displayed at the 2017 Goodwood House GRRC member’s day while with the former keeper, ‘2112 WA’ is offered with a history file which contains a small selection of previous invoices and MOTs, a Bristol instruction manual and spares handbook, along with a current V5C document.

1972 Lancia Fulvia 1600 Sport Zagato

121

1 of only 62 RHD examples made Estimate: £45,000 - £50,000* Reg No: WKY 843K

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 818 751001333 Continuing an association which stretched back to the 1920s, Lancia commissioned Zagato to create a sportier and more aerodynamic version of the Fulvia Coupe. Styled by Ercole Spada whose resume already encompassed the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ, the resultant Fastback did not want for visual drama. Introduced at the 1965 Turin Show, the First Series Sport evolved through 1.2, 1.3 and 1.3S guises transitioning from all-aluminium bodywork to a steel bodyshell with aluminium opening panels along the way. Unveiled at the 1970 Turin Show, the Second Series cars featured a five-speed gearbox, alternator, revised suspension geometry, wider tyres and all-steel coachwork etc. The 1.3S was joined by the rangetopping 1600 for 1971. Sharing its 1584cc engine with the HF Coupe, the 1600 Sport was the fastest Fulvia variant ever made with a top speed of 118mph. Specially prepared versions of the Sport distinguished themselves in the Sebring 12-hours and Daytona 24-hours but production of the labour-intensive model ceased during 1972. Of the 800 1600 Sports made, just sixty-two are understood to have been UK supplied.

H&H are pleased to be able to offer a rare right-hand drive Fulvia Sport Zagato 1600 here today. Originally built in 1972 and first registered on April 19th that year this Alfa Orange example with beige cloth trim stayed with its first owner from new until May 2008. In 1997 the original owner, himself of Italian origin, had the car fully restored in Italy and this is documented with a large history file including photographs of the renovation, the original green logbook, previous MOTs and a workshop handbook.

The second owner retained the car for only four years before the vendor became its third custodian in 2012. Described by the seller as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition, ‘WKY 843K’ will surely turn heads as well as provide a wonderful driving experience.

1962 AC Greyhound

122

1 of just 83 examples made Estimate: £55,000 - £60,000* Reg No: TGV 480

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AEF 2576 Introduced at the 1959 London Motor Show, the AC Greyhound was closer in price at £3,185 to an Aston Martin DB4 than a Jaguar XK150. A 2+2-seater featuring a tubular steel chassis, aluminium bodywork, all-round independent coil-sprung suspension, front disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Concerns over future engine supply and the demands of the Shelby Cobra contract gave AC little choice but to shelve the Greyhound before its true potential could be realised.

One of just 83 examples of the Greyhound manufactured, this 1962 example is understood to be one of a mere 4 cars produced with the AC 2-litre engine allied to the four-speed lightweight aluminiumcased manual gearbox, fitted with the desirable Laycock de Normanville overdrive operating on the top three ratios. Supplied new to a Jane Ann Branford of Kedington, Haverhill, the AC was retained by her for some six years before passing to a Ray Perkin and subsequently onto Ian A. Sylvester Esq. via Sherwood Garage in 1970. Now displaying some 92,582 miles which is believed, but not warranted to be genuine, the 2+2 entered into the vendor’s large private collection in 2019 from the long-term (c.20 years) previous custodian.

Finished in Pacific Green paintwork with complementary Grey leather interior upholstery, this matching numbers example has documents on file which show that the Greyhound received an engine overhaul at 60,600 miles with new liners and pistons.

Subsequent returning to AC Cars in July 1970 (at 62,200 miles) for a thorough assessment, the results were fitment of a new clutch and an overhaul of the braking and steering systems. Further sympathetic restoration work was undertaken in 1990, and since entering current ownership, has benefitted from servicing and a replacement driveshaft to the cost of over £4,000. Offered with a history file which includes over a large collection of MOT certificates dating back to 1970 (supporting the mileage), numerous invoices dating back to the early 1980s, the original ‘Buff’ logbook, owner’s manuals, a period sales brochure, and a current V5C document.

2020 Mini John Cooper Works GP

123

A delivery mileage example Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000* Reg No: LD20 YAE

MOT: N/A

Chassis No: WMWXX920002M68128 The third iteration of the John Cooper Works GP Mini held the crown as the fastest, MINI ever produced. Only 575 examples of the 3,000 to be built will be sold to UK buyers, and costing some £35,345, the GP at launch was also the most expensive MINI hatch ever made. Using a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine developing 302bhp and 450Nm of torque, and while this amount of power has been seen in a MINI before (but only in fourwheel drive form), the GP was only available in front-wheel drive and comes exclusively with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a limited-slip differential. Cosmetically, every GP will come with the same look, which includes ‘Racing Grey’ bodywork, a ‘Melting Silver’ roof and ‘Chilli Red’ highlights for the GP logos, spoiler and front air intake. The alloy wheels are 18inch lightweight forged items and other highlights include front bucket seats, rear seat removal, 3D-printed metal shift paddles, a 3D-printed fascia panel with each car’s unique build number, and a digital instrument cluster with GP graphics.

One of just 575 UK-supplied examples of the Cooper Works GP (from a total production run of 3,000), this example was supplied new to the vendor in 2020 by BMW MINI Park Lane, London on the 31st of March 2020, and has resided in his private collection ever since. An early production example (number 0006 of the 3,000 produced), ‘LD20 YAE’ has covered just delivery mileage from new with only 12 miles on the odometer. As close to a ‘brand new’ GP Cooper as is likely to come to market, the example is pleasingly offered with the original new vehicle order form, original purchase invoice, pre-handover and customer handover sheets, BMW teleservices sheet, and a V5C document showing zero former keepers. Surely an unrepeatable chance to obtain surely one of, if not the lowest mileage John Cooper Works GP Mini extant and a worthy addition to any car collection.

1954 Swallow Doretti

124

1 of only 276 examples made Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000* Reg No: 609 CRF

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1087 Sold off by William Lyons when he formed Jaguar Cars in 1946, the Swallow Coachbuilding Company (1935) Ltd became part of the Tube Investments Group which supplied specialist metal componentry to the British bicycle and motorcar industries. Lobbied by the boss of their Californian division, Arthur Andersen, who foresaw a ready market among his countrymen, Tube Investments tasked ex-Bristol Aircraft engineer, Frank Rainbow, with designing a two-seater sports car under the Swallow name to rival the Triumph TR2 and Austin-Healey 100. Based around a bespoke chassis fabricated from Reynolds 531 Chromoly tubing, the newcomer utilised a Triumph TR2 engine, gearbox, rear axle and front suspension.

Sharing its name with the sportscar accessories business run by Andersen’s daughter Dorothy Deen, the Doretti’s elegant Ferrari barchetta-esque bodywork was panelled in aluminium. Shipped to the USA in late 1953, the prototype generated considerable interest.

Favourably reviewed by The Motor and Autocar magazines, the twoseater notched up 276 sales in just ten months before production abruptly ceased in February 1955 (allegedly due to pressure from William Lyons amongst others).

First registered to the Swallow Coachbuilding Company (1935) Ltd, ‘609 CRF’ was retained for promotional duties (including being road tested by The Motor). Acquired by its previous keeper in 1971, the Doretti was driven into whilst parked some thirty-four years later.

Presumably underinsured at the time, the resultant front end panel damage saw it off written off. Understandably attached to ‘609 CRF’, its long-term owner embarked upon an eight-year restoration programme with the help of fellow Swallow Doretti custodian Paul Webb of Colmworth Classic Cars and ASR Body Engineering of Hanslope, Bucks. The associated bills detail extensive work to the chassis, bodywork and engine / running gear as well as a respray and retrim etc. Sparingly used since entering the current ownership for £61,600 during May 2019, the two-seater is offered for sale with green logbook, V5C Registration Document, two restoration photo DVDs and large history file.

1953 Bristol 404

125

1 of just 51 examples made Estimate: £110,000 - £120,000* Reg No: LGU 200

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 404230 In 1953 Bristol introduced the short-wheelbase 404 coupé, swapping the distinctive two-piece BMW-style radiator grille for an equally unmistakable, aeronautically inspired air intake.

The body was still an ash-framed, aluminium-alloy panelled structure, but now with a forward-hinging bonnet and for the first time the spare wheel was accommodated in the near-side front wing. Bristol continued to use the BMW-based, 2.0-litre, sixcylinder engine with its ingeniously arranged, pushrod-operated inclined valves, and this was available in either 105bhp or 125bhp form. The gearbox remained a manual four-speed unit with firstgear freewheel. Famously dubbed the ‘Businessman’s Express’, the 404 excelled at providing high-speed travel in comfort - the very definition of ‘Gran Turismo’. The coachbuilt nature of the car and its aircraft-industry standard of construction did not come cheap, however, and only 52 examples found customers between 1953 and 1955.

An accompanying Bristol Heritage Certificate confirms that chassis 404/230 was supplied new on 15th October 1954 to Mr Remy Mannes, the then Bristol dealer in Brussels, Belgium. Built to left-hand drive configuration with a rare km/h speedometer, green leather interior, and European headlamp dipping, all of which it retains today, the Coupe was sold to a gentleman from Antwerp. The engine number quoted on the certificate is ‘100B/3534’. However, the car is currently fitted with a more desirable and later type B2 engine (‘100B2/4070’). Returning to the UK in July 1968, the Bristol was registered as ‘LGU 200’ to Michael Beardmore. Belonging to marque enthusiast Jonathan Bradburn twice, his second custodianship saw the 404 featured in the June 1983 edition of Thoroughbred & Classic Cars magazine. Resident in Oslo from 1985-1989, the Bristol was acquired by its previous keeper in 2008 and the vendor in 2019.

Today, ‘LGU 200’ is presented in lovely overall condition, with its well-preserved interior possessing a beautiful patina. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file (instruction manual, assorted invoices, copy order form and notes etc)

1974 Alfa Romeo GT Junior 1600

126

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000* Reg No: CNF 342M

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AR2206456 Though one of his first major projects, the Bertone-penned Alfa Romeo 105 Series Coupe has a simple grace that is as admired today as when it first appeared in 1963. When coupled with the 1.6-litre Super version of the company’s ubiquitous all-alloy, DOHC, four-cylinder engine, the result was a performance car capable of shaming many sporting two-seaters of the period. The specification was straightforward - a two-door, three-box, lightweight (2,050 lbs) body powered by a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels.

The suspension was independent at the front and braking was by servo-assisted discs all-round. A slick five-speed manual gearbox ensured optimum performance and added to driver satisfaction.

The GT Junior variants began with the 1300 of 1965. It was designed as an entry level model for those that wished to enjoy the cachet of an Alfa Coupe without suffering the fiscal penalties that often came with the bigger-engined versions. It was based on the Giulia Sprint GT but featured a simplified interior. This Junior theme was developed over some 12 years, and from 1972 included the addition of a 1600cc-engined model that was specifically created to fill the gap that had emerged between the Junior 1600 and the now 2000cc-engined GTV. One of just 125 examples of the 1600 GT Junior reputedly manufactured in right-hand drive, this example was supplied new to South Africa. Understood to have remained there until importation into the United Kingdom, the Junior still carries a dealer sticker from the South African Alfa Romeo specialist ‘Arnold Chatz’.

Subsequently imported into the UK in the November of 2014, ‘CNF 342M’ was in the ownership of one Alfa Romeo enthusiast family since from mid-2015 until 2020, when it was acquired by the vendor as an addition to his large private collection. Fitted with the 1600cc straight-four Twin Cam engine allied to the five-speed manual transmission, the Alfa Romeo is finished in White with complementary Black interior upholstery and displays a recorded mileage of c.47,000 miles. Offered with a current V5C document.

1973 Jensen Interceptor SP

127

1 of only 208 examples made Estimate: £45,000 - £50,000* Reg No: DPX 76L

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1388398 Rarer than the FF which preceded it as Jensen’s flagship (232 vs 320 cars built), the SP was further notable as the fastest Interceptor ever offered by the West Bromwich marque. SP stood for ‘Six Pack’, a reference to the three two-barrel carburettors which sat atop the model’s high performance 440ci (7.2 litre) V8. Sourced from Chrysler’s Mopar division, the engine boasted some 385bhp / 490lbft and was thus some thirty percent more powerful than the 383ci (6.3 litre) V8 used in previous Interceptors. More highly strung than its siblings, the SP ran on its central carburettor for much of the time with a particular technique being rewarded when engaging (or disengaging) the auxiliary carburettors. The jump in performance from having two to all six carburettor barrels engaged could catch out the unwary to the extent it is estimated that some 25-30% of SPs were converted to a tamer Carter thermoquad carburettor set-up in period. With more grunt than contemporary supercars such as the Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona and Lamborghini Miura P400SV, the Jensen was found capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 143mph by Autocar magazine. Almost a thousand pounds more expensive than a standard Interceptor III at £6,976.87, the SP came equipped with an 8-track stereo, air-conditioning, Sundym glass and Town & Country horns as standard.

Supplied new to E.P. Martin Esq of L.M.E. Investments Ltd (London), plentiful correspondence on file suggests that chassis 138/8398 did not always meet his expectations. Changing hands several times thereafter, the Jensen was exported to France in 1996 where a more appreciative owner lavished a considerable sum on it. Contemporary bills, including those from marque specialist Cropredy Bridge, attest to overhauls of the engine, brakes and suspension plus a re-trim etc. Repatriated during 2015, the SP was treated to an automatic transmission refurbishment two years later. Enjoyed for the occasional road trip since entering the current ownership in April 2018 for £81,000, the four-seater pleasingly retains its original ‘Six Pack’ carburettor set-up and a second set of keys.

2004 Country Coach RV

128

1 of just 83 examples made Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000* Reg No: WK04JDX

MOT: None

Chassis No: 4U7K6DS1351104024 For over 50 years, Country Coach has held its place as one of the top manufacturers of luxury ‘motorcoaches’ or RVs. The Eugene, Oregon, based company had its beginnings in 1968, then known as Country Campers. By 1983 a hundred employees were manufacturing and marketing rear-engined, diesel, luxury motor homes. Over the next twenty years, the company grew quickly, changing its name in 1987 from Country Campers to Country Coach, Inc. it developed its own chassis, the DynoMax. By 2004, Country Coach had 1,600 employees and a 508,000-square-foot campus in Junction City. Its luxury vehicles, known as motorcoaches, came in a variety of series and floor plans, ranging in length from 34 to 45 feet and retailing for several hundred thousand U.S. dollars.

In 2004 the Country Coach Inspire 330 offered here, was delivered from the factory with the more desirable CAT C9 8.8L 400hp engine rather than the Cummins 8.3L 350hp engine. With the 2-axle ‘DynoMax chassis’, the body was a semi-monocoque construction. The Inspire 330 was available in Genoa, DaVinci and Siena floorplans with a multitude of bespoke options for the discerning RV buyer that wanted the best of the American luxury RVs. We believe the model offered here, is a Siena 36’ with the optional ‘Quad-Slide (meaning 4 extending rooms). Having started life in the USA, this example first landed on our shores in 2007. It was first registered on 23rd May 2007 and has had just one other previous UK owner. With the previous owner the electrical supply was converted to the UK standard 240 volts system in 2017 at the expense of £5,000. Accompanying the RV is a file of invoices for minor maintenance during its current ownership. That ownership consisted of use solely for a racing team when visiting circuits.

Offered with a V5C, the current mileage, displayed at the time of consignment, is 49,538 miles.

1957 Beardmore Mk7 Taxicab

129

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: ULM 561

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: BM7/155 Beardmore Motors produced a range of machinery, including ships, locomotives, Sopwith Camels, motorcycles and some fine motorcars. Today they are best remembered for their iconic London Taxicabs, which were considered the “Rolls Royce of Taxis”. The Mk7 was the final and most advanced incarnation of the Beardmore taxi. It had a reliable Ford Consul drive-train and an aluminium body by distinguished coachbuilder Windovers.

The bumpers were of fibreglass for durability and the design of the machine ensured reliability and easy serviceability. The custom for the period was that after five years of service the Beardmore was fully rebuilt from the ground up and after ten years it was retired, with there being only approximately 700 Beardmore Mk7s that serviced the roads of London.

Finished in Black and Blue with Brown interior this diesel Beardmore is being offered from a collection of promotional vehicles and has lately spent time in storage. The vendor informs us it is in “very good” condition as regards its bodywork, paint, engine, transmission and interior, although due to the recent period of inactivity an amount of recommissioning will need to be carried out before use. First registered on 8 August 1957, this interesting taxi offers a new owner plenty of scope for enjoyment once it has been returned to the road.

The Auctioneer may at any time ratify an incomplete form.

1.2 Any documentation pertaining to the Lot must be sent with the Entry Form to the Auctioneer’s office, or in any event delivered with the Lot to the Premises. The Contract between the Seller and the Auctioneer will be formed when the Auctioneer receives a signed Entry Form for the Lot, whether by hand, post, fax, email or by any other means, and whether or not the Entry Fee for that Lot has been paid, and whether or not the Form has been signed by the Auctioneer.

1.3 All relevant matters pertaining to the Lot such as a financial encumbrance, serious accident damage or other factors affecting value which are known to the Seller must be stated on the Entry Form. If a sale is lost because of the failure of the Seller to disclose to the Auctioneer all information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Lot, the Auctioneer will charge and the Seller must pay the stated rates (both to Seller and Buyer) plus VAT. 1.4 If the Seller wishes to retain the registration number of a Lot, it is the Seller’s responsibility to notify the Auctioneer in writing on the Entry Form. It is the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current registration number is retained and a new number allocated prior to the Lot being sold. If the Seller does not do so, the Auctioneer shall not be responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever and howsoever arising out of the Seller’s loss of the right to the registration number following the sale of the Lot. 2.1 The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion whether or not to accept any Lot for sale and shall be entitled to select the auction place, date, catalogue placement and photographs for the Lot. 2.2 The Seller gives the Auctioneer full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot placed in its hands for sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations as are provided by the Seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Sale), with indemnity against copyright infringement.

2.3 The Seller is wholly responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any judgments or opinions expressed in, the catalogue description of each Lot entered by him, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description. Whether the description has been prepared by the Auctioneer or the Seller, a copy of the typed text will be provided to the Seller within a reasonable time prior to the Auction, and unless the Seller reacts with comments or changes prior to the Auction, the Auctioneer may treat that description as accepted by the Seller.

3.1 The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the Buyer either that he is the true owner of the Lot or that he is duly authorised to sell the Lot by the true owner, and is able to transfer or procure transfer of good and marketable title to the Lot free from a third party claims or encumbrances.

3.2 In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot, the Auctioneer reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith.

made available and in a deliverable state at the time stated by the Auctioneer.

3.4 The Seller shall indemnify both the Auctioneer, its Employees and Agents, and the Buyer separately, against all payments, costs, expenses, demands, or any loss or damage whatsoever and wheresoever incurred or suffered by any of them in respect of any breach of these Conditions on the part of the Seller.

4.1 The Seller shall be entitled, prior to the sale to place a Reserve on any Lot, this being the minimum Hammer Price at which the Auctioneer is authorised to sell that Lot and to make its usual charges. A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer.

4.2 The Auctioneer may, at its option, sell the Lot at a Hammer Price below the Reserve but in any such case the Sale Proceeds to which the Seller is entitled shall be the same as if the sale had been at Reserve.

4.3 Where no Reserve has been placed on the Lot the Auctioneer shall in no way be liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below the lowest estimated selling price. In any event, any written or oral estimate of likely selling price given by the Auctioneer is an expression of opinion only and may not be relied upon by the Seller nor give rise to any claim.

4.4 If a Reserve is placed by the Seller in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, such a Reserve shall be calculated and converted into Sterling at the spot rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the last banking day prior to the date of the Sale. The certificate in writing of the Auctioneer as to such rate shall be conclusive.

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.

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 estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none; (b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none, (c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value; (d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses;

5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.

6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14.

7. 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.

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.

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 shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot; (b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced,

143

placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of 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.

10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds 11.1 If the Buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the total Amount due within 21 days after the Sale, the Auctioneer will notify the Seller and take the Seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action. So far as in the Auctioneer’s opinion it is practicable, the Auctioneer will at the Seller’s expense assist the Seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the Buyer, but the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.

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

144

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 ‘exworks’ 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.

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 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).
