A car’s application for a Historic Technical Passport will be subject to the prevailing regulation in Appendix K and can be reviewed, much the same way Veteran Cars can be re-dated, as new information comes to light.

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

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.

1976 Volkswagen Beetle 1600

1

No Reserve* Reg No: PAO 611P

2

Estimate: £5,000 - £7,000* Chassis No: 1142236989

MOT: Exempt

The Volkswagen Beetle is generally recognised as being one of the elite pack of popular motoring icons. Conceived by Dr Ferdinand Porsche, the air-cooled, rear-engined ‘People’s Wagon’, sponsored by one Adolf Hitler and resurrected by the British Army Major Ivan Hirst, as part of the Allies’ post-war rebuilding of bombed-out German industry, went on to clock up a 21 million world record production milestone. Only one standard Beetle was made between 1946-1948 with a 1131cc flat-four motor, which produced a rather modest 25bhp, and with a non-synchromesh gearbox. Improvements followed with the 50bhp 1584cc engine option being offered from 1972 in the then brand new 1302 model where Macpherson strut independent front suspension replaced the original torsion bar set-up.

Manufactured in 1976, this right-hand drive Beetle saloon has spent its life in the car-friendly climate of South Africa. Finished in a striking Mustard Yellow and fitted with the desirable 1584cc engine, the car is described by the vendor as in “time warp, unmolested condition” and is said to “run and drive very well”. The odometer displays 17,000 miles, which is likely to indicate a lifetime mileage of circa 117k. It’s unlikely the car has experienced any rain or salt during that time. Riding on Rostyle wheels, this Beetle would benefit from some attention to the bodywork and paintwork, however, this should be a straightforward and rewarding project for the new owner.

1969 Austin 1300 MkII

Reg No: WUV 89G

Chassis No: AASA501156

MOT: Exempt

Introduced by the ‘British Motor Corporation’ (BMC) in 1962, and known officially as the AD016, variants of the ADO16 were available under the Austin, MG, Morris, Riley Vanden Plas and Wolseley brands. The Issigonis designed range proved very popular and for most of its production life (between 1963 and 1971) was Britain’s best-selling car. Various versions were available including the Saloon (in two or four-door specifications), Countryman, and sportier GT model. Made famous in popular culture by ‘Basil Fawlty’ giving a Red Traveller version “a damn good thrashing” in an episode of Fawlty Towers, ADO16’s are an ever-popular easy to own British classic.

In the ‘60s, if you wanted a ‘larger’ version of the Mini with a pleasant ride but with similar familiar mechanicals, this Austin would fit the bill, especially so, as this sportier engined 1300cc example wears its age extremely well and is adorned with many ‘in period’ accessories that will certainly make this AD016 a bit special. Accessories include a fabulous triple rally gauge console with tachometer, bumper overriders, front Lucas spotlights, and reverse lights, a Kingsbury radiator muff, and a period AA badge. Previously subject to a self-evident restoration, this is a smart example ready to be enjoyed. It’s offered with a collection of invoices and the V5C.

1997 Mazda MX5

No Reserve* Reg No: P153 HVN

1981 MG B Roadster

4

12,020 miles from new Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

Chassis No: JMZNA18C200312597

MOT: T.B.A

In a world of increasingly complex motorcars, it is refreshing to note that the remarkably conventional four-cylinder, front-engined, rear-wheel drive MX-5 is the best-selling open-topped two-seater in history - by February 2011, some 900,000 examples had been sold around the world since the model’s introduction at the Chicago Motor Show of 1989. Time and again, the motoring press have extolled its handling and road-holding virtues, frequently finding it more fun to drive than cars costing even four times as much. While it is heartening to appreciate that the DNA of such classic British stalwarts as the MGB, Austin Healey Sprite, and Lotus Elan is embodied in this Japanese wonder car, it is surely also a little sad to consider what an opportunity was missed by the British motor industry. Nowadays, first-generation MX-5s have become desirable cars, with those in good condition increasingly hard to come across and thus fetching significant premiums.

Displaying a recorded 71,000 miles at the time of consignment, this is an original UK supplied example finished in Black. During its life, it has acquired aftermarket accessories such as driver and passenger roll hoops, sports exhaust and rear boot spoiler. It was subject to an oil change and mechanical fettling in 2019. With the original owner’s wallet and service book, the Mazda is offered with a collection of old MOTs and invoices.

Reg No: CCA 28W

Chassis No: GVAD1AG522811

MOT: December 2022

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’.

Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control. The biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred in 1974 when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones, and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.

Displaying just 12,020 miles (at time of consignment) on the odometer, this surprisingly lowmileage MGB Roadster is presented in Vermillion Red. First registered in 1981, it is offered having been in the long-term ownership of a family. A 4-speed manual with overdrive is fitted along with classic wire wheels. The interior consists of grey cloth seats with head restraints and black vinyl trim elsewhere. No radio has been fitted but the original MG blanking plate is still in position. This Roadster presents as an honest example of one of the very last of the MGB production and is offered with owners wallet, handbook and passport to service plus a collection of old MOT’s and invoices.

1936 Riley 15/6 Kestrel Saloon

5

No Reserve* Reg No: GV 4500

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 46K2757 Among the prettiest saloons fielded by any manufacturer pre-WW2, Riley’s Six-Light Kestrel design was an Art Deco masterpiece. Powered by a ‘twin cam’ 1726cc straight-six engine, the 15/6 variant was reputedly capable of 85mph. Sadly, just fifty 15/6 Kestrels are thought to have survived.

First registered as ‘GV 4500’ in West Suffolk on 5th June 1936, chassis 46K2657 still bears a plaque for ‘R. Hawkes Motor & Motorcycle Engineer of Bury St Edmunds’. Migrating to Worksop, Nottinghamshire during the 1950s, the Riley is understood to have been in single family ownership for some forty years before being bought by Mike Squires Esq. of Corby in 1989. Sold to the preceding keeper David Watkins Esq. of Carmarthen five years later who treated it to over 600 hours’ worth of restoration work, the 15/6 was acquired by the vendor in February 2004.

Unhappy with the quality of the engine’s previous overhaul, the seller entrusted the straight-six (number 62657) to John Kirkby Vintage Engine Rebuilding of Croydon, Surrey for attention to the crankshaft and new white metal bearings etc in 2007. The cylinder head was refurbished separately, and the radiator repaired. The brakes were gone through and the starter ring gear, water pump, distributor drive gear, thermostat, and exhaust manifold all fettled. The wiring loom was replaced and flashing indicators fitted. Dry stored alongside its Adelphi stablemate for over a decade, the Kestrel has recently been persuaded back into life. The four-seater is currently running and driving but would certainly require recommissioning ahead of any road use. The vendor notes that the pre-selector gearbox is whiny when in neutral with the noise subsiding under load. ‘GV 4500’ presents as an older restoration with imperfect paintwork and much of the brightwork in need of refinishing. The front seats and door cards have been retrimmed, but the rear pews may well be original. Offered for sale with Green logbook, V5C Registration Document, instruction book, numerous invoices, various old MOTs dating back to 1964, and a photo album.

1947 Sunbeam-Talbot 2-Litre Sports Tourer

6

One of just eight known survivors in the UK Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Reg No: HXP 511

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 440200 Hailed by its makers as ‘Britain’s Most Exclusive Light Car’, the new Sunbeam-Talbot Ten had been re-engineered by Chief Designer Georges Roesch, whose brief had been to extract more power from the engine and provide sufficient room for four passengers, objectives achieved by moving the engine and gearbox forward by 3½” and equipping the Minx motor with an aluminium cylinder head.

Introduced in 1939, the Sunbeam-Talbot 2-Litre was based on the Ten, although it used the 2.0-litre side-valve engine from the Hillman 14 (later Humber Hawk).

Manufactured in 1947 and supplied to the United Kingdom, ‘HXP 511’ was sold new via Rootes London to a J. C. Pope Esq of London W8 and is understood to have resided in his ownership until 1983, spending approximately thirty years of this time in storage. Fitted with the desirable (aforementioned) 2.0-litre straight-four engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission, the Sunbeam-Talbot is finished in White with Red leather interior upholstery and is supplied with full weather gear (full tonneau, hood cover, side screen and hood) also finished in Red. With a recorded mileage of 98,800 miles (at time of consignment), the Sunbeam was purchased from the initial owner by the second keeper in 1983 as a restoration project.

Subject to a cosmetic restoration upon purchase of the second keeper, the ash frame was renewed, chassis overhauled, bodywork restored and interior refreshed. In third (current) ownership, the Sports Tourer has received a comprehensive mechanical restoration comprising a complete engine and brake overhaul; wheel refurbishment; re-cored radiator; much re-chroming; re-wiring; and replacement exhaust, fuel tank, front tyres and horns. Converted to an alternator, the Sunbeam ran well during the photography session.

Offered with photographs of the restoration, an original owner’s handbook, a copy of a workshop manual and a current V5C. Being one of just eight survivors known to the Sunbeam-Talbot Alpine Register, this is a rare example of a stylish British open-tourer.

1998 Mercedes-Benz SL320

7

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* Reg No: R79 RJM

Chassis No: WDB1290632F156210

8

No Reserve* MOT: April 2023

The elegant fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 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, five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags.

When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder petrol engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.

First registered on the 19th May 1998, this SL320 is presented in Green Black Metallic with contrasting grey leather interior and is fitted with the desirable optional 5-speed automatic gearbox.

Featuring its Nokia car phone and accompanied with matching hardtop, ‘R79 RJM’ displays 111,876 recorded miles on the odometer. In current ownership for nearly 11 years, the vehicle has been owned by a classic motor mechanic, who, when the service book became full, continued with hand-written records of work carried out in current ownership. ‘R79 RJM’ comes with the original book pack including a service book with 8 stamps and 2 keys. Previous invoices for work and parts are present, including a number of main dealer invoices. In 2015 the SL was treated to a replacement fabric mohair hood at a cost of £732.00. The car is accompanied by many of the previous old MOTs and documented work. The car is MOT’d until April 2023 and the V5C document shows 5 former keepers.

Please note the hardtop may require some attention to remove if necessary.

2002 Mini Cooper Rallycross

Reg No: GU02 UEL

Chassis No: WMWRC320X0TC12139

MOT: None

The original, iconic Mini was always going to be a hard act to follow but the new 21st Century Mini, created by brand owners BMW, has taken over where the old one left off, immediately establishing itself as a chic mode of transport for fashion-conscious urbanites as well as an immense commercial success. Launched as a three-door hatchback, which many maintain is what the original should have been from the outset, the new Mini is bigger in every respect than its forebear whilst the clever retro styling nevertheless maintains close visual design connections with Issigonis’s masterpiece.

This former ‘Blyton Park Rallycross Experience’ car was last used competitively in 2018. Previously used on a mixture of rallying mixed/surface circuits, the cars were modified road cars that were scrutineered to MSA noise regulations. It has been extensively lightened and features an integrated roll cage, with other safety features including a plumbed-in fire extinguisher, high-back bucket seats and a Sparco race steering wheel. With an odometer reading of 54,169 recorded miles and current ownership since 2019 it has had a recent alloy wheel refurbishment. The engine number reads ‘D037P326’ and is a 1598cc four-cylinder allied to a manual gearbox. There are no documents with the Mini and it is to be offered without reserve.

Alfa Romeo Spider

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000* Reg No: G370 MKH

Chassis No: 06001332

1951 Singer Nine 4AB Roadster

10

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* MOT: March 2023

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, that 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.

First registered in August 1989, the slippery Silver Pininfarina lines of this very original example of a Series 3 Spider have only been enjoyed over c.47,207km (or c.29,000 miles). Extensive MOT history accompanying the car shows evidence of c.11,000km (c.6,8000 miles) covered between 1993 and the present day. It is always nice to see a car wearing both its front and rear dealer plates, in this instance Cloverleaf of Hull. It wears pepper-pot alloys and the soft top is a Black vinyl and the interior presents attractively with Grey leather trimmed with a vibrant Crimson Red stitching and carpet. A reprint of the owner’s manual is with the Alfa. 5 former keepers are shown on the HPI report.

Reg No: LOE 912

Chassis No: 4AB7269U

MOT: Exempt

A two-door, four-seater Convertible version of the marque’s Bantam Saloon, the Singer Roadster was first sold in 1939. The traditional body comprised alloy panels fixed to a wooden frame.

Powered by a 1074cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a three-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of some 65mph. The suspension was by leaf springs all-round and the drum brakes were mechanically operated. The model re-emerged virtually unchanged after WW2, and remained so until the 4A variant of 1949.

Finished in Cream with matching Tan upholstery, it is described by the vendor as being in “good” condition with regard to its bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim, whilst he regards the engine and transmission to be in “very good” order. Supplied new to dealers T.H. Garner of Birmingham in March 1951, the Singer was the subject of much expenditure in the 1990s and 2000s. This included a photographically documented respray in c.2001 and overhauling of the mechanicals by Trevor Cornelius and Ian Blackburn. Between 2015-17, the car was further improved by marque specialist John Parker who was selected to rebuild the engine, cooling and braking systems.

Offered with a comprehensive history file comprising invoices, restoration photos, sundry correspondence and much more, ‘LOE 912’ is offered with full weather gear. A number of spare parts can also be collected by the purchaser from the vendor’s home in Lymm, Cheshire.

1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe One family owned & just 44,000 warranted miles from new

11

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: UBD 904G

Chassis No: 1R25234

MOT: July 2022

Introduced in 3.8-litre form in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared, with instantly classic lines and a top speed of 150mph. Nowadays it would be impossible for a single model to cause such a stir but here was a civilized production sports car that looked like a Le Mans prototype and could outperform just about anything else on the road. The first significant upgrade occurred in October 1964 with the launch of the 4.2-litre version. Along with the bigger engine came a more user-friendly gearbox and servo brakes. From September 1968, Series II E-Types, incorporating safety upgrades previously fitted only in America, were released worldwide. In addition to revised lighting and switchgear, the front air intake was larger and sat behind a full-width bumper.

Finished in its original striking combination of Pale Primrose Yellow with Black Hide interior, this example was dispatched to the USA in October of 1968 and first registered in the San Jose region of California in January of 1969. Known for its car-friendly climate, the car retains its original California Black number plates and has had just one private owner (father, later bequeathed to his son) in the USA from new and has covered a warranted 44,000 miles. The car is described by the vendor as being in “magnificent original unrestored condition with unmarked paintwork and perfect panel gaps”. He also states “The car has a superb original interior, with rust-free undersides and is fitted with tinted glass, chrome wire wheels with thin-band Whitewall tyres”. Repatriated to England in late 2020; the car is now correctly registered on a V5C document with all taxes and duties paid.

Treated to a full exterior respray by My Finish of Bolton, the car has just been subjected to a major service with accompanying invoices.

Starting readily upon inspection and running very sweetly, this drop-dead gorgeous E-Type is understandably described by the seller as being in ‘excellent’ condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, and bodywork. Offered for sale with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, handbook, lifting jack and tools, the accompanying history file contains the USA title documents, plus current UK V5C. Worthy of close inspection, we feel this car represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire a ‘one private family owned’, low mileage, time warp E-Type.

1968 Sunbeam Alpine Series V Roadster

12

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: UMF 981F

MOT: September 2022

Chassis No: B395018931 Unveiled in 1965, the final MkV variant of Sunbeam’s popular Alpine sportscar was equipped with the Rootes Group’s latest four-cylinder engine - a five-bearing 1725cc unit rated at 92.5bhp - which proved notably more powerful and refined than its predecessors. Further benefiting from the adoption of negative earth electrics and an alternator, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 100mph. Treated to some subtle internal / external cosmetic tweaks as well, it emerged boasting a crisper, more modern look. Only produced for three years, the Alpine MkV was quietly dropped from the Sunbeam range in 1968.

Finished in Carnival Red with Black upholstery, ‘UMF 981F’ was acquired by its current keeper in 1992, however, it wasn’t until 2015 that a decision was taken to treat the car to a comprehensive no-expense-spared restoration. The bodyshell was stripped back to bare metal and is said to contain zero rust whatsoever, having been treated and correctly finished in 2K paint. Opting to restore ‘UMF 981F’ to a particularly high specification; new rear springs and adjustable shock absorbers were fitted all around and the underside of the roadster was Waxoyled for preservation. Breathing through twin Stromberg carburettors, performance is said to be “sprightly” – this is further enhanced by a four-branch manifold and stainless steel exhaust system. Highly suitable for long-distance touring, this exquisite Alpine even features a Quartz headlight conversion, which aids safety and practicality.

Described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent’ condition with regard to its bodywork, electrical equipment, engine, four-speed manual (plus overdrive) gearbox and interior trim condition; this appealing Alpine is offered for sale with a current UK V5C registration document, sundry paperwork and an MOT certificate valid until September 2022.

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera 2S

13

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: 88 EJX

MOT: January 2023

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z5S738603 Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche’s iconic 911 allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor – a lighter / stiffer bodyshell, better suspension/brakes, four-valve cylinder heads and a superior HVAC system – to more classical styling. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8 litre engine (rated at 350bhp/295lbft), sports exhaust, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19-inch wheels as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 182mph, it soon became a driver’s favourite. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991 (or current 992), great examples of 997 gearbox cars are becoming increasingly collectible.

This desirable C16 (UK-supplied) example was delivered on the 23rd of June 2006 through Porsche Centre Guildford. Fitted with the aforementioned 3824cc flat-six engine with the Tiptronic transmission, the 911 is finished in Seal Grey Metallic paintwork with Black full-leather interior upholstery. Having covered just 78,470 miles from new (at time of consignment), the Porsche rides on Fuchs style alloy wheels in complementary Black finish with a Silver rim.

Specified from new with optional extras including Porsche branded stainless steel exhaust system and kickplates, multifunction steering wheel, sports heated seats, cruise control, tinted windscreen and Tiptronic S multi-function steering wheel, this Porsche cost some £67,150 when new. Subject to approximately £12,500 worth of expenditure since 2015, the 2S has benefitted from a new starter motor and brake fettling in 2019; an engine wiring loom, alternator and battery in 2021 and a new water pump, thermostat and housing, and door locks in 2022. The 911 is offered with a history file which includes the original book pack with stamped service book displaying ten entries (all from main dealers and specialists, with the most recent service by Addison Autotech Porsche specialists in 2022 at 76,114 miles) as well as a large collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, sundry paperwork, current V5C and two keys.

1988 Bugatti Type 35B Evocation

by TEAL

14

No Reserve* Reg No: JSU 534

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: MA2S5995856 At the Pack Horse Inn, Affetside, Alan Hunter showed his two friends Ian Foster and Tony Rogers a brochure of a Volkswagen-based, rear-engined, fibreglass replica of a Bugatti Type 35 he had picked up on a business trip to America. Ian Foster, once a chassis designer for Daimler, demonstrated on the back of a cigarette packet, how a strong chassis could be produced using the American body moulds to end up with a front-engined version.

In short, the Worsley Bugatti was born. However, Ian remembered from his days at Daimler, that Worsley was the nickname for a Friday car - a ‘duff’ one - so a search was made for a new name. In the end, Trafford Engineering Automotive Limited (TEAL) was decided upon. In 1986, Bob Jones purchased TEAL Cars from Ian Foster. Bob developed (with chassis builder Peter Farrell) the early T35 to accept a more authentic aluminium coachwork.

On the 5th October 1986, the first all aluminium TEAL was born. Public reaction was highly positive with the company selling 16 cars in the first six months. The TEAL was further developed with the Types 43, 44, 52 and 59 versions also being manufactured. TEAL Cars finally ceased production in 1998. Today, there is a thriving club to cater for all types of TEAL. Entered from a deceased estate, this aluminium-bodied example is finished traditionally in Blue with Black upholstery and a matching tonneau cover.

Wonderfully detailed, with a plethora of louvres and vents; the car correctly rides on its original factory-fitment alloy wheels and ‘Grand Prix’ tyres.

Other niceties include a side-exit exhaust, ‘engine-turned’ effect bulkhead / dashboard, wood-rimmed steering wheel, external handbrake, electric heater and dual Brooklands aero screens. Said to be “a blast” to drive with a convincingly Vintage sound and feel, the late owner’s son describes the car as being “good to very good” in regards to the B-series 1800cc engine on twin carburettors, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and paintwork. The Bob Jones aluminium TEALs are fast becoming recognised in their own right and here we have an opportunity to purchase an unmolested and well cared for example in completely standard specification.

Please note – This lot is described as a ‘Morris Sports’ on its UK V5C registration document. It utilises the engine and suspension from the Morris donor vehicle.

1998 Aston Martin DB7 Volante

15

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000* Reg No: S949 SDB

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: SCFAA3114XK202379 Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR Group know-how for a new generation, `small’ Aston Martin to become reality. Unveiled at the March 1993 Geneva Salon, the DB7 utilised a steel semimonocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. Derived from a proven Jaguar unit, the 2+2-seater’s 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine boasted four valves per cylinder, Zytec multi-point fuel injection, and an Eaton supercharger. Credited with developing 335bhp and 360lbft, it was allied to either a five-speed manual or automatic transmission and reputedly enabled the Aston Martin to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and reach 161mph. However, it was the way the DB7 looked, rather than its performance potential, which wowed the public. Penned by Ian Callum at the same time as the Coupe, the convertible Volante version was unveiled at the LA and Detroit motor shows of early 1996 - America being the chief market for the company’s soft-tops.

Just 879 straight-six powered DB7 Volantes were produced with a mere 150 of those featuring manual transmission.

One of only 879 straight-six Volantes, this particularly pretty example has the automatic transmission and is presented in Mendip Blue with contrasting Cream leather. Originally supplied new via Stratstone Aston Martin of Wilmslow, Cheshire in 1998, it has since covered just 60,716 miles from new. In December 2020 the Volante was subject to over £14,000 worth of expenditure with Stratton Motor Company Aston Martin.

The car comes with its bookpack with a wallet with the service book showing stamps and services carried out by Aston Martin dealers and specialists, the last being completed in 2020 at 59,094 miles. There is a collection of invoices and MOTs and documentation in the history file, along with the V5C.

1986 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

75,000 miles from new Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000* Reg No: D316 FRF

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: WDB1070412A053432 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-round independent coilsprung suspension and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with a fourspeed 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.

Built to order number 0653774767 during July 1986, chassis 053432 was finished in Arctic White with Black / Anthracite cloth upholstery. A desirable late model 300SL, it left the Stuttgart factory with ABS brakes, rear seats, electric windows, and a Black soft-top. The accompanying service book shows that the Mercedes-Benz passed its pre-delivery inspection on 25th September 1986 and has been maintained at 997, 3,026, 5,176, 11,136, 16,242, 20,842, 22,461, 35,011, 48,893, 52,103, 56,327, 59,755, 65,745, 69,892, 72,554, 73,399, 75,012 and 75,269 miles. Warranted to have covered some 75,400 miles from new, the last 10,000 miles have seen the 2+2-seater treated to a new radiator core, water pump and distributor plus the replacement of its valve stem oil seals. Starting readily upon inspection and running well during our recent photography session, ‘D316 FRF’ remains highly presentable. Riding on correct type alloy wheels, this stylish R107 is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual, service book, MOT certificate valid until April 2023, old MOTs dating back to 1989 and various service invoices dating back to 1990.

2001 Subaru Impreza P1

Current ownership since 2002 Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: X813 NGH

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: JF1GM8KDGYG003031 “Ordinary Impreza Turbos sort of tweak playfully with the edges of the laws of physics. The P1 sits down and rewrites them” (CAR Magazine) Aerodynamically honed by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame and based around a lighter / stiffer two-door bodyshell, the limited edition P1 had more in common with the legendary 22B than its lesser fourdoor Subaru Impreza WRX siblings. Developed especially for British roads by the company which helped Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg become World Rally Champions, the Prodrive One was intended to counter a wave of ‘grey import’ STI Type R cars coming over from Japan. More relaxing and forgiving to pilot than a Type R thanks to taller gearing, more compliant suspension and ABS brakes, the 280PS / 343Nm P1 was nonetheless capable of 0-60mph in 4.66 seconds and 155mph.

Supplied new by The Concours Motor Co Ltd of Haslemere to Oliver Chadwick on February 2nd, 2001, chassis 0712 passed to Carl Randall twelve months later. Purchased by the vendor from Lancaster (Pangbourne) Ltd under the Subaru Proven Used Car scheme on 20th April 2002, the P1 was warranted to have covered just 11,700 miles.

Much loved over the past twenty years, the four-seater accumulated ten main dealer service stamps up until March 2010 at 60,232 miles.

Covering less than 6,000 miles since then, ‘X813 NGH’ has been maintained by Community Garage and Autotecnica Buxton Subaru Centre. The latter treated the P1 to a full service (oil, filter, spark plugs, PAS belt, coil pack) plus cambelt change and replacement OE specification radiator etc. during October 2021 at 65,788 miles.

Recording 140psi compressions across all four cylinders, Autotecnica commented on the car’s originality with traces of factory-applied protective wax still visible within the engine bay. Starting readily upon inspection and running notably well, the Subaru passed its last MOT test on 28th March 2022 with ‘no advisories’. Worthy of close inspection, this well cared for, low mileage P1 is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document, original book pack, and assorted invoices / MOTs.

1973 Triumph TR6

18

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000* Reg No: BDH 932L

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: CR002400 Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/ TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that “Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man’s sports car in its own right”.

Supplied new to the United Kingdom, this right-hand-drive TR6 was first registered on the 3rd of February that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 2498cc straight-six engine with the four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the TR6 was originally a fuel-injection example although has since been converted to carburettor fed since. Finished in Carmine Red with a Cream interior upholstery, a Black hood, hood tonneau cover and full-length tonneau. An aftermarket sports steering wheel has been fitted, however, the original steering wheel is with the car. Entering into current ownership in 2010, the TR6 has a recorded mileage of just 46,000 miles. Subject to a self-evident previous restoration, the Triumph has recently benefited from new brake calipers (in 2020) and a replacement water pump (2021). ‘BDH 932L’ is offered with a history file that includes a collection of invoices, MOT certificates dating back to 2009, a current V5C and a small number of spares including parts relating to the fuel injection system.

2010 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

15,300 miles from new Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: MX10 GHZ

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: SCBBE53W5AC065064 ‘There is much to love about the Bentley Flying Spur: it creates a sense of occasion like few other cars at any price, and offers an endearing blend of performance, potential top speed and braking power. The interior sets it apart from the more mainstream rivals, and there can be no denying that it fulfills its remit as a big, lavish limo. It’s even fun to drive, in a brutish kind of way’ (Autocar magazine) Introduced in 2005 to complement Bentley’s existing two-door Continental GT model, the four-door Flying Spur used a stretched version of its sibling’s platform. Powered by the same twinturbocharged 6.0 litre W12 engine allied to six-speed automatic transmission, the luxury sports saloon boasted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque; outputs sufficient for 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds and 194mph.

Equipped with Adaptive Air Suspension, Continuous Damping Control and Tosen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the big Bentley proved surprisingly nimble.

Finished in Moonbeam Silver metallic with Beluga Black leather upholstery, chassis AC065064 was supplied new to Bentley Manchester for use as a demonstrator. Intended to impress potential buyers, its lavish specification included contrasting Linen-coloured seat piping, Piano Black fascia trims, iPod interface, reversing camera, power boot opening and closing, enhanced vehicle tracker system and 20-inch 14-spoke diamond alloy wheels all of which added up to a retail price of £112,420.35. The subject of five services (four main dealer and one specialist), the Continental Flying Spur is warranted to have covered just 15,300 miles from new. Beautifully presented inside and out, the four-seater pleasingly retains its original book pack, running-in instructions card and two keys. Starting readily upon inspection and running well during our recent photography session, the Bentley is described by the vendor as ‘stunning and virtually as new’. After eleven years and so few miles, this imposing Continental Flying Spur promises to be a delight for driver and passengers alike.

1978 Volkswagen Kombi Eight-Seater Minibus

No Reserve* Reg No: DHN 612T

21

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Chassis No: 2372010260

MOT: Exempt

The Type 2 or Transporter was launched in 1950 and immediately found fans around the world. The inherently simple Type 2 platform made it easy to adapt to all kinds of body styles, with VW selling Type 2s with everything from pick-up to camper bodies. The ‘shed on wheels’ design not only made this VW versatile but also ensured it garnered a well-loved reputation that endures to this day.

Astonishingly, the final brand-new Kombi only rolled off its Brazilian production line in 2013.

This recently imported (November 2020) Kombi is what’s known in the VW community as an eight-seater ‘Bay Window Minibus’, differentiating it from the earlier split-screen model. This is a right-hand drive Kombi, which was supplied new to the car-friendly climate of South Africa. The vendor informs us that they would categorise this VW as a ‘recommissioning project’, although they also point out that it’s mechanically not in rude health and has been running recently, since arrival in the UK. As was common in Africa, the air-cooled VW powerplants were often replaced with larger capacity units and this example features Ford’s legendary Essex V6. Having unlikely seen rain or salt throughout its life, the structural and cosmetic condition of the minibus is described to be “very good”. Offered completely without reserve due to a change in motoring direction, this ‘Type 2’ should be a straightforward and rewarding project for the new owner.

1971 Austin Mini Clubman

Reg No: CTF 388J

Chassis No: XA2S2271343A

MOT: September 2022

Introduced in October 1969, the Mini Clubman was penned by ex-Ford product planner and stylist Roy Haynes. Intended as a replacement for the Mini-derived Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf, the newcomer boasted better frontal crash protection and improved under-bonnet access and was powered by a 998cc or 1098cc four-cylinder A-series engine. This is a 1971 Leyland Mini Clubman with a 1275 GT evocation appearance. Finished in White with a Black roof, this little pocket rocket has been built to evoke the famous Clubman Mini which had pretentions to be a sports car; what the Cooper was to the Mini, the Mini 1275 GT was to the Clubman iteration of the people’s car. As the ads said, ‘It looks like it goes, it goes like it looks’. Subject to a large amount of expense in 2018 this evocation wears 10 inch Minlitite-style alloy wheels which lay down the performance from the twin carburettored engine plus sports manifold. In order to shout about the potential extra tarmac ability, the car wears ‘Mini 1275 GT’ lower panel side decals and rear boot badge plus the correct Red ‘GT’ badge on the radiator grille standing proud upfront. Inside, and the correct Black vinyl seats with biscuit pattern are present. This Clubman 1275 GT evocation is offered with an extensive and impressive record of parts purchased and invoices for work completed.

Chassis No: W0L0EAR972N004537

1923 Swift M Type Tourer

23

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000* MOT: TBA

The VX220 was based on a Series 2 Elise chassis and powered by a 145bhp Ecotec 2.2 Litre engine and was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show of 1999, with production starting in March 2001.

The VX220 Turbo was launched for production the following year with a quoted 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 151mph. Fast becoming a very rare find and an ideal “track car” with a kerb weight of just 930kg, the VX220 is still highly regarded and sought after to this day.

Presented in the appealing combination of Europa Blue with contrasting Tan interior, this VX220 is offered with just 63,306 miles on the odometer and 5 former keepers on the V5C document. Along with VX220 related registration ‘S222 OVX’, this particular example comes accompanied by an impressive history file including its original bookpack which contains its service book comprising 14 stamps until 62,040 miles in May 2019. Impressively, 12 of these service stamps are Vauxhall Main dealer, until 57,000 miles in 2017. Also included within the history file is a large collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates.

Reg No: HF 2153

Chassis No: M1484

MOT: Exempt

The British Swift concern manufactured motorcars in Coventry from 1900 to 1931. Up to 1907, they were powered by proprietary engines from De Dion Bouton etc, but Swift then began making some of its powerplants to the design of Works Engineer William Radford. Following WWI, the company’s model range was simplified with the excellent 1100cc ‘10’ being joined by a 1940cc ‘12’ (M Type) with a four-speed gearbox, some 1,500 examples of which were made.

This right-hand drive 12hp M Type Open Tourer was manufactured in March 1923. Propulsion comes from a 1943cc side-valve engine and a 4-speed gearbox. Unearthed from a Welsh barn in 1991, where it had resided since being rescued from a farm some years earlier, this is a rare model. The car has been stored well and it’s in running order and taxed for the road. A previous restoration was carried out in 1991, who reportedly found the vehicle to have suffered “very little mechanical wear” (suggesting the indicated mileage of 3,294 at that time, could be correct) and to be “remarkably well preserved and original”. A full restoration was completed in 2013 and the car has covered only 900 miles since that restoration. The 2013 restoration included a re-bore of the 12hp engine with new pistons. The car was repainted Cream with Brown wings and the buttoned interior reupholstered in Brown with the tonneau covers, the hood and carpets all renewed. Offered with the V5C.

1954 Austin-Healey 100

24

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: 540 XUH

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: BN1-L/220024 Among the best looking and most iconic British sports cars ever made, the Big Healey evolved from a raw two-seater Roadster with fold-flat windscreen through to a more civilised 2+2-seater Convertible with wind-up windows. Debuting in 1953, the earliest four-cylinder BN1 version boasted a top speed well in excess of its ‘100’ moniker.

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis BN1-L/220024 was built to lefthand drive, North American specification on 5th October 1954. Thought to have been repatriated by Mr S Ridgeway some forty-five years later (on the basis that he applied for the Heritage Certificate) the Austin-Healey was substantially complete but needed restoration. Appearing to pleasingly retain its original powerplant (number 1B/220024) and to have been resident in one of the USA’s more car friendly states, the 100 nevertheless took the vendor approximately two years to refurbish (2006-2008). Aided by a friend who races AustinHealey Sprites, the engine, three-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox and back axle were all checked over and deemed sound. The chassis and body were renovated with particular attention being paid to panel gaps before being repainted in Old English White. The interior was re-trimmed in Black leather with matching carpets and soft-top. Parts were sourced from the likes of AH Spares Ltd and A Head 4 Healeys Ltd including new instruments and a second-hand windscreen surround (the latter costing £822.50 alone). The exhaust was renewed, and the car rewired throughout. New chrome wire wheels were fitted and shod with Fulda tyres. Starting readily upon inspection, ‘540 XUH’ is described by the vendor as being in ‘good, all-round condition’. Though, he notes that the windscreen is cracked and reversing is aided by holding the gear lever in place. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original workshop manual, Heritage Certificate and assorted invoices / old MOTs.

1994 Bentley Turbo R

25

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000* Reg No: BIG 5728

MOT: April 2023

Chassis No: SCBZR03C7SCH55141 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 (3,061 mm) or long (3,161 mm) wheelbase 4,653 short and 1,211 long-wheelbase Turbo R’s were produced between 1985 and 1997.

Manufactured in 1994, this Turbo R was supplied new via Murray Motor Co. Bentley of Glasgow, being registered new on the 23rd of November that year. Fitted with the 6750cc turbo-charged Bentley V8 engine allied to the automatic transmission, the Turbo is finished in Red with a complementing Cream and Red leather interior upholstery. ‘BIG 5728’ has covered just 67,568 miles from new at the time of consignment and has had just six former keepers, with the Turbo R residing in current ownership from 2015. Benefitting from much expenditure while in the current ownership, ‘BIG 5728’ has received replaced rear gas spheres and engine drive belts in 2016; air-conditioning re-gassing and starter motor overhaul in 2017; brake renewal in 2017-18; and additional mechanical work since. Recently shod with new tyres, the Bentley is offered with a large history file which includes the wallet and handbooks, a letter from Bentley confirming the early servicing; numerous invoices relating to servicing and parts, MOTs dating back to 1999, and a current V5C.

1969 Ford Transit MKI Camper Van

26

Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000* Reg No: SHW 760G

MOT: June 2022

Chassis No: BC05HT51705 Ford’s ubiquitous Transit range needs little introduction.

Launched in 1965, it has been Europe’s best-selling light commercial vehicle for the last 40 years, and is now into its fourth generation and MK7 incarnation. More intriguingly, in the 1970s, no less than 95 percent of robberies employing a vehicle apparently involved a Transit of some description! Famed for bringing car-like handling, driveability and comfort to the van world, it was the ideal base for all manner of conversions, including motor caravans. Power in the early models was supplied by 1.7 or 2.0-litre V4 versions of Ford’s Essex powerplant. The suspension was deliberately basic, with live axles front and rear. A wide track provided exceptional stability.

This Transit camper is accompanied by continuous history from new and the odometer now reads 58,702 miles. In 2017 the camper was professionally restored to a show-winning standard and repainted in Lotus Cortina colours complete with badge. Within a beautifully presented interior, the camper has many rare and original fittings including utensils, appliances and fittings, along with a TV and a few other modern upgrades to make it usable in the 21st century, however it fully retains its period impact. Of note is a wonderfully bespoke rally-style instrument panel with gauges, switches and a period pushbutton radio, it evokes the golden era of Ford. Perhaps a great vehicle to complement Lotus Cortina ownership or an enthusiasm for historic motorsport. Enjoy instant access into the thriving, exclusive community of classic and retro camping clubs. The vendor tells us that it is won some awards. The engine was professionally overhauled with a full mechanical overhaul, including brakes and the suspension. Along with two large boxes of history including original owner’s manuals and other documents, the Transit has a clean MOT until June 2022, regardless of the camper being exempt due to historic tax status.

1999 BMW M3 Evolution Convertible

1 of just 25 ‘Carbon Black’ editions Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000* Reg No: JRZ 3399

MOT: November 2022

Chassis No: WBSBK92050EX67231 Debuting at the Paris Show in 1992, the second generation E36 platform-based M3 was the first to feature a straight-six engine, initially displacing 2990cc before enlargement to 3201cc in 1995. However, this larger power unit did not become available in the convertible model (which had been introduced in 1994) until 1996. The 3.2-litre cars were marketed as Evolution models

by BMW GB to distinguish them from the earlier 3-litre models.

Produced at the Regensburg factory, a total of around 2,107 BK92 (right-hand drive European specification) convertibles were built between February 1996 and July 1999. Recognised as being one of the best handling cars of that decade when tested by Car & Driver magazine in 1997, and much praised for its benign handling and balance, the E36 was also one of the first mainly computer-designed BMW models.

One of only 25 ‘Carbon Black Edition’ convertible M3s that BMW UK commissioned at the end of production of the E36 M3, here we have a low mileage example with just 40,524 miles from new (atoc). Supplied new by BMW Heathrow Limited, West Drayton, Middlesex, this M3 Evolution has the desirable six-speed manual transmission offering that extra driver involvement. Presented in Carbonschwarz Metallic paint, the contrasting Modena leather interior provides for an opulent cabin with ‘M3’ logo sill plates protecting against entry scuffs and the BMW Business RDS radio cassette player providing the soundtrack for your drive. Side impact airbags are a further safety feature inside. In 2006, the M3 received a replacement engine, fitted by BMW North Oxford at 21,336 miles. Offered with a large history file, comprising numerous previous invoices and an original order form, a stamped service book, handbook and a wallet with original BMW cards. MOT documents going back to 2002 are included, a copy of the 2013 book ‘BMW M3: The Complete History of These Ultimate Driving Machines’ by Graham Robson, as are copies of previous logbooks, and current V5C. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium of 12.5% plus VAT

Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000* Reg No: PV 3432

MOT: October 2022

‘Racing car practice accelerates development. Racing stimulates designers and engineers and raises the morale of the factory workpeople’ - Louis Coatelen Having served his apprenticeship at De Dion-Bouton, Clement and Panhard et Levassor, Louis Coatelen joined Humber in 1901 and was swiftly promoted to chief engineer. A keen amateur racing driver, he went into partnership with William Hillman later that same decade and piloted their Works Hillman-Coatelen entry during the 1908 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy race. Recruited by Sunbeam in February 1909, Coatelen was determined to establish the Wolverhampton firm among Britain’s premier sporting marques. His first Sunbeam design, the 14/20, boasted a 3828cc four-cylinder engine developing 54bhp @ 2,300rpm and broke precedent by featuring a shaft-driven live rear axle (though, a chain driven assembly was optional). A spirited performer, the newcomer distinguished itself on the 1909 RAC ‘Ten Pound Note’ Trial (averaging 21.3mpg over the 100-mile road section and 56.65mph around Brooklands) and the 1909 Scottish Six Days’ Trial (finishing 2nd-in-class).

An evolution of the 14/20, the more powerful 16/20 benefited from Coatelen’s initiative to reduce Sunbeam’s reliance on proprietary components. Featuring a sump-mounted oil pump (an industry first), the model was relaunched in October 1911 with a new 4073cc monobloc four-cylinder engine.

Based on a 10ft 3½in wheelbase, the 16/20 was equipped with leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / three-quarter elliptic rear), four-speed manual transmission and rear wheel brakes. Available with a variety of open and closed coachwork, the Sunbeam’s rugged construction and enviable turn of speed meant that it was a popular Staff Car choice during WW1 which helps explain the tiny number of known survivors.

With several Edwardian Sunbeam restorations under his belt, the vendor jumped at the chance to acquire part of the ‘Maud Hoard’ of disassembled cars following their discovery in New Zealand.

Working with marque authority and author of ‘Sunbeam, The Brass Period’ Alan Richens, he identified major components from various different 16/20 cars and set about building them into a single entity. The chassis (number 2926) was refurbished and fitted with new leaf springs.

The engine (crankcase number 2624) had its bearer arms repaired / reinforced by Jim Catnach before being entrusted to Cambridge Rebores Ltd (rebored, new liners, fresh pistons: £2,976), JEL Bearings Ltd (new white metal bearings: £1,740) and G&S Valves Ltd (£828.70). The gearbox (number 2447) was overhauled with new bearings and seals as was the back axle. Replacement kingpins and associated bushes were made as was a new drop arm for the steering. The steering wheel was refurbished by Myrtle Ltd, while Longstone Tyres shod the beaded-edge wire wheels.

The rakish four- / five-seater Tourer body apes the style of those offered in period and has recently been trimmed with deep button leather upholstery. The radiator (number 2403) has been tested and the fuel tank holds pressure.

The speedometer sports a ‘The Sunbeam – Watford’ face and the dashboard carries an authentic array of instruments and switchgear. Dynamically balanced, the engine started readily upon inspection and ran well during our recent photography session with the seller happily driving the Sunbeam to different locations in rural Lincolnshire. The electrical system is a total loss one with the CAV lamps housing energy efficient LEDS. Bespoke 18-inch drums give improved stopping power and contain modern linings as does the clutch. A starter motor has been fitted for ease and convenience. There is a hood frame but no hood. UK road registered as ‘PV 3234’ with the help of the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register, this decidedly handsome Edwardian Sunbeam is worthy of close inspection. Yet to be fully run-in / debugged following its completion, it has much the same appeal as a Prince Henry Vauxhall.

1959 Triumph TR3A

29

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000* Reg No: Unregistered

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TS66937L Lacking a sportscar capable of competing with those of rivals MG and Jaguar, Standard-Triumph engaged in a hurried design and development programme that bore fruit in March 1953 with the display at the Geneva Motor Show of the prototype TR2. A couple of months later the newcomer emphatically established its performance credentials when an overdrive-equipped prototype in touring trim ran at 114.9mph on the Jabbeke motorway in Belgium. Simply constructed, practical to own and offering 100mph-plus performance at a bargain price, the TR2 was an enormous success both at home and abroad, so it was only to be expected that its successor, the TR3, would represent evolution rather than revolution. Introduced in October 1955, the TR3 was indeed little different from the preceding TR2. Changes to the Standard Vanguard derived 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 Primrose Yellow with Black leather upholstery, this particular American-market TR3A was repatriated back to the UK in c.2017 and entrusted to TR Bitz of Cheshire to be recommissioned.

John Sykes and his team converted the car to RHD and remarked that “the body is excellent with no rust, as with the chassis”. Treated to a bare metal respray by a friend of the owner (based in Market Drayton); the roadster has apparently benefited from a wealth of new parts and is described as having a “strong engine with good oil pressure” and being “mechanically strong with everything working as it should”.

Previously MOT tested in 2017, the car has remained in dry storage and been unused ever since. Not currently UK registered, a NOVA application has been completed and we will assist the purchaser in completing the process.

1983 BMW Alpina B2.8

30

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000* Reg No: A818 VNY

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: WBADA7204D7591593 Built between 1981 and 1985, this is one of less than ten cars that are thought to have survived. Supplied with either a ZF automatic transmission or the more desirable Getrag 265 5-speed manual gearbox, the standard M30 528i straight six-cylinder engine was upgraded as part of the conversion with the Alpina B9 type exhaust system, and the power output measured an impressive 192bhp at 5800rpm. Alpina springs and Bilstein gas dampers were further advancements from the standard 528i specification. They cost a considerable premium over the BMW 528i SE (E28) on which it was based.

Manufactured in 1983, this B2.8 is a rare UK-supplied, righthand drive example, being supplied new via Western Counties BMW of Bristol on the 25th of November. Fitted with the 2788cc straight-six engine with the desirable five-speed manual transmission, the Alpina is finished in Henna Red with Grey cloth interior upholstery. In long-term previous ownership, from 1988 until 2021, and remaining in storage from 2006 until the end of that period, ‘A818 VNY’ has covered just 54,628 miles from new, at the time of consignment, and has had only four former keepers.

The Alpina specification comprises; an Alpina B9 Type exhaust system, Getrag 260 Overdrive gearbox, 3.45 ratio limited-slip differential, Alpina springs with Bilstein gas dampers, Alpina 16in wheel rims, dealer stripe kit, Alpina front spoiler, rear spoiler, Alpina badges and dashboard plaque, and steering wheel. It has benefited from recommissioning in 2022, which includes full brake overhaul with new discs, pads, and hoses; full service; new fuel tank and fuel lines; valve clearances adjustment and general thorough check through. ‘A818 VNY’ is offered with the original book pack, including the original stamped handbook, a current V5C, and is due to possess a fresh MOT certificate in time for the sale. With an ever-growing following, this is a highly original example of a Performance BMW.

1973 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 Right-hand drive example, with manual transmission

31

Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000* Reg No: RFW 769M

Chassis No: 17347

MOT: March 2023

The 365 GT4 2+2 was a sharp, svelte three-box design, the work of Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina and was a radical departure from the softly styled 365 GTC/4 it succeeded. The 365 GT4 2+2 is a vast and imposing car with a generously sized spacious, airy cabin, hinting at the car’s continent-crushing credentials. Between 1972 and 1976, Ferrari built just 521 examples of its flagship four-seater, with a mere 133 in RHD configuration. Today, the 365 GT4 2+2 is considered to be a practical Ferrari for the connoisseur. The quirky, oh-so-seventies design won’t tickle everyone’s fancy, but who wants to follow the crowd and buy a car to please other people?

The matching numbers 365 GT4 2+2 we’re offering for sale is chassis number 17347, which was one of 216 examples produced by Ferrari in 1973. Finished in striking Marrone Colorado over a Beige interior, the car was delivered new in October 1973 via Mark Konig of Maranello Concessionaires to The Lord Banbury of Southam. A copy of the original sales invoice for £10,450.00 is included, however, a deal was struck between the dealership and his Lordship for a ‘straight swap’ against a 246 GT ‘Dino’ and Mercedes-Benz saloon. Shortly after this, during 1974, chassis 17347 was purchased by a Mr Black from Dunbartonshire and registered in his company name ‘Eclipse Blinds Ltd’. In November 1979, it was then acquired by Michael Smith of Cheshire, having covered 49,367 miles. A number of old MOT certificates confirm that during the next sixteen years, RFW 769M was used sparingly and recorded an increase of just 2000 miles, before being taken off the road and placed into dry storage in 1996. Bequeathed to another member of the Smith family in November 2007, the car remained static until 2019, when a major restoration was undertaken.

Respected marque experts R&D Automotive of Manchester were tasked with bringing the car back to life and in the region of £50,000.00 of documented expenditure was invested in the car over a two-year period. No stone was left unturned and attention was given to all aspects of the cosmetics and mechanicals. This included a major service of the V12 engine (including valve clearances) and replacement or refurbishment of all ancillaries, including the clutch. Detailed to concourse standard and reinstalled, a new air conditioning pump and a full rebuild of the braking, cooling and oil systems were also undertaken at the same time. Harvey Robinson reproduced the exhaust system in a combination of mild and stainless steel, whilst the interior was left to Leathercare and Bespoke Car Interiors (both of Knutsford, Cheshire) to be brought back to its sumptuous former glory.

Stripped of all ancillaries, the bodyshell was fully resprayed in July 2020 (correctly black to the underside) by My Finish of Bolton, whilst A.C.F. Howell refreshed all of the chrome plating. A brand new set of chrome badges were fitted and the refurbished magnesium alloy wheels were shod with new Michelin XWX tyres. Finally, a replacement speedometer was fitted, however, the original is supplied with the car and accompanies a large number of expired MOT certificates that warrant the low mileage.

32

Ferrari saloons of this period are notoriously expensive cars to restore and the vast majority offered for sale are tired and in much need of TLC. That certainly isn’t the case for ‘RFW 769M’, which boasts an enviable specification and ticks all the right boxes for collectors or drivers alike.

Commercially restored by all the right names and crucially accompanied by the receipts for all works carried out, copies of the original build sheet and early correspondence, parts book and instruction manual, together with MOTs, old-style V5 registration document and sundry literature.

2006 Bentley Arnage Diamond Series One of just 19 UK cars

32

Estimate: £16,000 - £18,000* Reg No: DK56 HYA

Chassis No: SCBLC37F66CH11554

33

No Reserve* MOT: August 2022

To mark 60 years of production at Crewe Bentley launched the Diamond Series, a limited run of a planned 60 cars based on the Arnage R. Features included a twin turbo 6.75-litre V8 engine producing some 400bhp (450bhp was also an option), 19” alloy wheels and also featured Diamond quilt design to seats, Burr Oak veneer, folding picnic tables, veneered door panels, Diamond Series etched treadplates and a ’Crewe 60 Years’ front console badge. Roughly 50 percent of production went to the USA. One of just 19 examples supplied to the UK market, the Windsor Blue car on offer here was originally allocated to Bentley’s Press & Special Car Department. Understood to have had three former keepers, it has benefited from the fitment of new discs and pads together with new spark plugs amongst other mechanical and electrical fettling in 2019. The auto ride height system was also attended to in 2012 at a cost of £5734. The drive belts have also been replaced along with a new water pump, lambda sensor, ignition coil and radiator. This limited edition Bentley comes with its original book pack including handbook and service book (showing thirteen entries) and a collection of old MoTs and invoices. Having covered 158,500 miles ‘DK56HYA’ is offered with an MOT certificate into August 2022.

2006 Mazda RX-8

Reg No: MV06 XHO

Chassis No: JMZSE17N200139481

MOT: November 2022

The RX-8 continued Mazda’s long association with Wankel rotary power and its 1.3-litre RENESIS engine came in two main variants - standard (191bhp) and high power (238bhp). Power was put to the road through either 4 or 5-speed automatic or either 5 or 6-speed manual gearboxes. It is worth noting here that the UK DVLA considered this rotary engine to be equivalent to 2.6-litre displacement for taxation purposes. One of the distinctive features of the RX-8 was its lack of B-pillars and rear-hinged back half-doors giving better access to the rear seats. What historically might have been called ‘suicide doors’, Mazda referred to as ‘freestyle’. Unlike many four-seat sports cars that are at best a 2+2, the RX-8 can seat four adults in comfort.

This low mileage example displays a mere 36,646 miles from new (atoc). Surely a classic of the future, this pretty example is offered in Silver. With 189bhp (192 PS) it was said to be able to achieve 0-60mph in 7 seconds via the 5-speed manual transmission and a smooth rotary engine. With 3 former keepers, it has been in current ownership since 2017. First registered on 8th March 2006, it is offered with an owner’s manual and wallet with some past MOTs; it has a current MOT until November 2022 with no advisories. The current V5C is present.

1995 Fiat Barchetta

Chassis No: ZFA18300000001731

1973 MG B Roadster

35

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

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 under the supervision of Peter Barrett Davis and other car designers at the Fiat Centro Stile (albeit the prototyping being carried out by Stola). Produced from February 1995 to June 2005, the Barchetta was based on the chassis of the Mark 1 Fiat Punto with a 130bhp / 121lbft 1.8 litre `twin-cam’ petrol engine featuring variable camshaft timing. Weighing in at 1056 kg (2328 lb) without air conditioning, the Barchetta could accelerate from 0-60mph in 8.7 seconds and touch 124mph.

This strikingly bodied little Fiat sports car is a 1995 example of the Fiat Barchetta. With what is surely a limited specification Midnight Blue Metallic with red soft-top variant, any new owner is destined to possess some exclusivity. They were only produced in left-hand drive, but officially sold through UK Fiat dealers. This Barchetta is offered with just c.102,500km (c.63,000 miles) recorded on the odometer and presents as a well-cared for example of the marque, with extensive service history and just 2 former keepers are shown on HPI. It is expected to be in the possession of 12 months MOT at the time of sale.

Reg No: RUR 968M

Chassis No: GHN5309909G

MOT: April 2022

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 leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, its 1798cc ‘B’ series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission and was capable of over 100mph.

Presented in the iconic BL colour, Harvest Gold, this example evokes the Golden period of the MGB, with its chrome bumpers with pretty overriders, Rostyle wheels, and even ‘original’ appearance raised digit number plates. The typically Black vinyl adorned interior is sufficiently functional, if a little austere, and retains its vinyl seats with headrests. Even its MG logo radio aperture blanking plate is still present.

Purchased new by its long term first lady owner its believed to have had just 3 former keepers since and displays a credible 77,400 miles. Having benefited from recent carburettors and set up the MG is offered with an original service book and handbook, large collection of invoices, old MOT certificates, itemised documents for the previous work carried out, tonneau cover plus V5c and the vendor currently describes the paintwork, bodywork, engine, gearbox and interior all as ‘Very Good’.

1932 Riley Nine Gamecock

36

One of just 52 survivors Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: GW 3228

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 6016255 Having been introduced in 1932, the Riley Nine Gamecock featured the marque’s latest Plus Ultra underslung chassis and jewel-like 1.1-litre four-cylinder engine. Fed by twin-carburettors allied to a four-speed manual transmission, top speed was promised at 70mph-plus. Sporting a lightweight aluminium body, large diameter drum brakes, all-round semi-elliptic leaf springs, and Duplex Andre adjustable shock absorbers, it retains good road manners to this day. The handsome Gamecock was summed up by Motor Sport magazine as ‘a neat and handy vehicle which combined a lively performance with freedom from constant tuning’. No stranger to competition, a three-strong ‘Works’ team won a prestigious Coupe des Alpes (up to 1100cc class) on the 1932 International Alpine Rally. Just fifty-two Riley Nine Gamecocks are thought to have survived from the two year production.

Manufactured in 1932, chassis 6016255 is understood to have been first registered to a Colchester vet. This handsome Riley is finished in Green with Black wings and running boards with complementary Green leather interior upholstery and Black hood. Thought to have been retained in original ownership and one subsequent family member until 1973, the car was placed in dry storage upon passing into third ownership until 1996, then stripped for renovation before the project stalled, the vendor then purchased ‘GW 3228’ in 2008, subjecting it to an eight-year comprehensive restoration. Restoration included a replacement ash frame, chassis refresh, engine overhaul, including refurbished carburettors, body repairs and repainting, re-cored radiator, shock absorber refurbishment, new wiring loom, re-upholstery, and a new hood. Additionally, uprated with hydraulic brakes and an electric fan, since completion, ‘GW 3228’ has been used on the Scottish 500 and a tour of Ireland. This attractive Riley is offered with a history file documenting the restoration. One of approximately 52 examples that are thought to survive ‘GW 3228’ has been subject to an eight-year restoration upon entering current ownership. It is understood to have had just four owners from new, with two owners from the same family. The car is accompanied by a history file documenting the restoration.

41,000 miles from new Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: 403 SC

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: WDB1070412A017102 “If you are looking for a practical roadster with style, fine handling, comfort, reliability and high build quality, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL is the answer”. (Sports Car Market, Aug 2002) Successor to the European 350SL and American 450SL models, the (R107) 380SL was introduced in March 1980. Utilising the same two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round coil-sprung independent suspension (wishbone front / semi-trailing arm rear), power assisted recirculating ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes as its predecessors, the newcomer boasted an enlarged 3839cc SOHC V8 engine and improved four-speed automatic transmission. Credited with developing some 204bhp and 232lbft of torque, European specification cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9.1 seconds and 127mph.

The vast majority of the 53,200 380SLs made were to left-hand drive specification. Indeed, the website howmanyleft.com suggests that there are only 823 examples currently registered with the DVLA. Built to order number 0453740169 during September 1984, chassis 017102 was unusually well specified. Finished in the rare and attractive colour of Pajett Red Metallic matched to Beige leather upholstery, it left Mercedes-Benz’s Sindelfingen plant complete with a limited slip differential, Tempomat (cruise control), Dark Brown soft-top, Pajett Red hardtop (incorporating a heated rear window), Becker Mexico stereo, ABS brakes, electric mirrors, electric windows, headlamp wipers, rear seats and 15-hole alloy wheels. First UK road registered as ‘WYD 1’, the 380 SL was supplied new to D. Shaw Esq via Greenoaks Garages Ltd of Surrey. Warranted to have covered just 41,000 miles from new, the Mercedes-Benz was re-registered as ‘403 SC’ shortly after being acquired by its current registered keeper during 1989. Sparingly used over the last few years, the 2+2-seater nonetheless started readily and ran well during our recent photograph session. Passing its last MOT test with ‘no advisories’ and possessing a certificate valid until March 31st 2023, this handsome machine is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original bookpack and numerous invoices.

Subject to over £46,000 expenditure in the last 10 years Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: PMC 954L

MOT: LD/23305-BVV

Chassis No: April 2023 Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107series 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. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon 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. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. 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. Despite being in production for seven years during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.

In current ownership for the last 12 years, ‘PMC 954L’ is presented in its original colour combination of Triumph Pure White (code 19) with a contrasting Black interior. This particular car has a manual gearbox (4 speed with overdrive), having been converted from the commonly found automatic transmission.

Subject to photographically documented restoration between 2010 to present with invoices documenting expenditure to the tune of £46,500 and much work completed by its mechanic owner, ‘PMC 954L’comes accompanied with an impressive history file with a large collection of invoices dating back to 1998, a large collection of previous MOTs, a Heritage Certificate and the V5C.

1986 BMW 635 CSi

39

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: C535 MNU

MOT: May 2022

Chassis No: WBAEC820908187407 With the size and no lesser elegance of a two-door 7 Series the 635 CSi vehicle had a coupé body styled by Paul Bracq with a naturally aspirated petrol, 3.4 litre, single overhead camshaft six-cylinder engine delivering its power to the rear wheels. It is part of BMW’s E24 range of cars. With a claimed kerb weight of 1460 kg, the BMW 635 CSi covers the 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.4 seconds and the standing kilometre in 28 seconds. Maximum speed was said to be 143 mph (230 km/h).

This pretty example was supplied new by Wollaston Motors of Northampton. With a recorded 94,200 miles showing on the odometer, this 635 CSi was the subject of a complete glass out respray last year. To enhance this particular Blue Metallic coupe, genuine parts have been utilised to make it into an Alpina evocation adding genuine Alpina steering wheel and Alpina valances. Attractive Alpina Gold side-stripe livery has also been added to make it stand out in the crowd.

For convenience there is remote central locking, while rear parking sensors and Bluetooth have been added for modern convenience. For peace of mind the automatic gearbox had a £2,500 overhaul in 2019 by Midland Automatic Transmissions.

The coupe has been fitted with a stainless steel silencer plus Bilstein shock absorbers and poly bushes at the rear. Last year, injectors were overhauled, and a recent ‘Inspection II’ service was carried out. In current ownership since 2011 and with just 2 former private owners, one of whom registered it in his company making 3 former keepers showing on the V5C, the previous owner was from 1990 - 2011. Offered with the handbooks and service book, there is a large collection of invoices plus old MOT certificates. The vendor describes the bodywork, engine, paintwork, and gearbox as ‘excellent’ and the car’s electrical equipment and interior trim as ‘very good’.

1975 Porsche 911S Targa Silver Anniversary Edition No. 100 / 1063

40

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: LFM 775N

Chassis No: 9115210050

MOT: December 2022

In 1974 all 911 variants received the 2.7-litre unit, previously reserved for the Carrera, whilst the latter went to 3.0 litres. Although in non-Carrera tune the 2.7-litre unit made slightly less power than the old 2.4, it had been skilfully reworked to produce significantly more torque over a much wider rev range and offered noticeably improved acceleration. Coupled with the tolerance for low-lead fuel, vastly superior fuel consumption and increased tank capacity, the new 911 proved superior to its predecessor in every way as a fast, long-distance tourer. In 1975, Porsche commemorated its first 25 years as a fully-fledged sports car manufacturer with a special Silver Anniversary series of 911 and 911S cars numbering 1,063 units in total, including Coupe and Targa variants. All cars were finished in Diamond Silver, with an interior of Silver and Black tweed fabric and carrying a Ferry Porsche Signature plaque on their dash.

This Silver Anniversary 911S Targa is number 100 of that series. By then, the model was in its comparative infancy when it is considered that they remain in production in some form today, 47 years after this was built and almost 60 since the arrival of the model. A letter on file confirms that previous owner William Stanlonis Esq. acquired the car in 2012, from a long-term Woodbridge, Connecticut-based Doctor, who had reportedly owned the car from the first year of its life.

According to its old title document it was supplied to that former custodian by TNM Lathrop Inc. of Niantic, Connecticut. It’s odometer shows a modest reading of 31,600 and we believe this to be totally correct. It’s supported by the aforementioned letter and original maintenance manual, however, this remains unstamped from new.

Consigned to the Bonhams Greenwich Concours d’Elegance auction of May 2015, the car was purchased by prolific car collector Ian Wade for a total of $66,000.00. It was exported across the pond to his home in Yorkshire and whilst here in the UK, the Porsche was treasured, kept garaged and statically displayed. Mr Wade then sold the car to the current vendor when downsizing his collection at the beginning of this year. Since its arrival in the last three months, the car has been taken to marque specialists R&D Automotive of Manchester, who executed a top-end rebuild (including barrel seals) of the engine, detailing it to concourse standards at a cost of some £10,500.00. Attention to and a full service of the braking system was also carried out whilst the Targa was in their care. Treated to Euro-specification bumpers and lights by My Finish Automotive, ‘LFM 775N’ behaved faultlessly during our recent photography session.

1967 Volvo P1800S

41

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000* Reg No: OAH 599F

MOT: January 2023

Chassis No: 183352P026088 Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst under the tutelage of Pietro Frua when Frua’s studio was a subsidiary of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia: The styling does indeed owe a nod to the VW-Karmann Ghia. The Volvo P1800 sports car was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer’s sleek two-door monocoque bodyshell was equipped with mechanicals derived from Volvo’s Amazon/122 series, with independent front suspension, a coil-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and disc/drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine breathing through twin SU carburettors, allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, it was capable of over 100mph. The P1800 was immortalised in the 1960s ATV series ‘The Saint’ starring the late Sir Roger Moore. The ‘S’ in ‘P1800S’ refers to Sweden as the location for production post1963. Earlier cars had in fact been constructed in the UK by Jensen. Regardless of engine size (post-1969 the B20 engine was used), all cars were designated ‘1800’.

‘OAH 599F’, Chassis No.183352P026088 was UK registered in 1967 and is a B18 (1780cc) engined example presented in an iconic Cream White. Striking Cream leather seats with Crimson Red piping complement the Crimson Red carpets, along with the Italianesque chrome bezelled tilted gauges, the cabin is an attractive overture to the equally exotic exterior design. The exterior has been enhanced by a clean set of wire wheels and knock-off spinners for that classic sportscar look. With c.81,350 recorded miles and current ownership since 2015, this P1800S has offered many driver smiles with many more to come. The car has been the subject of much restoration work by the previous owners; this is evident from the pages of invoices for parts from a Volvo specialist. The history file is accompanied by the V5C. For some peace of mind, the car possesses an MOT until January 2023.

1998 Rover Mini Cooper Sport LE

42

No Reserve* Reg No: S546 EGJ

MOT: November 2022

Chassis No: SAXXNAZEWD162005 Introduced in October 1996, the so-called Mk7 or MPi Mini was the last evolution of Alec Issigonis’ iconic design. Boasting a front-mounted radiator, driver’s airbag, taller final drive ratio, multipoint fuel injection and side-impact door bars etc, it proved a fitting swansong for one of the world’s favourite cars. Only in production from March to October 2000, the Mini Classic Cooper Sport could be distinguished from earlier ‘Sport Pack’ equipped Coopers by its Platinum (rather than Old English White) roof and bonnet stripes. The model’s widened wheel arches housed 13x6 alloy wheels, while inside it featured an alloy dashboard as well as alloy window winders, door pulls and door handles. A be-winged green Mini motif appeared on the steering wheel and alloy wheel centres, but the choice of exterior colours was limited to Solar Red, British Racing Green and Anthracite or Tahiti Blue. Regardless of their exterior hue, all Mini Classic Cooper Sports carried Nickel Silver leather seats with Black facings. The LE was introduced in 1998 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Cooper’s victory in four Saloon Car Championship races in 1968, with 100 examples manufactured, 50 in Brooklands Green and 50 in Black.

Manufactured in 1998, this Cooper looks every inch the British motoring icon. It was supplied new via Epsom Motor Group Rover in December 1998 to its first keeper. The Cooper was passed to its second and only other keeper in 1999. Offered directly from the second custodian, and having covered just shy of 44,500 miles from new (at time of consignment), to date this Cooper Sport has benefitted from a partial restoration in 2015, clutch overhaul in 2017, a new battery and renewed heater fan assembly in 2020. Accompanied by the original bookpack, two stamped service books and further service invoices illustrating fifteen services. Offered with previous MOT certificates, invoices, a previous logbook and a current V5C document, this is an attractive example ready for a new custodian to enjoy.

1968 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible

43

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* Reg No: VPB 943F

Chassis No: MA2T51223910

44

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* MOT: Exempt

Designed by Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Morris Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show. 13 years later it became the first British car to achieve one million sales. The original Minor - or ‘poached egg’ as Lord Nuffield delightfully called it - initially complete with side-valve engine, was a sedate performer. Equipped with independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel drum brakes, the Morris Minor was practical, economical as well as fun. Convertible (Tourer) models were dropped in June 1969, and saloon production ended in November 1970, but Travellers soldiered on until April 1971.

This 1968 Morris Minor 1000 original Convertible Tourer is finished in an Old English White with a Red vinyl soft-top, It’s an almost iconic colour combination for a Convertible Minor. For the country lanes, a pair of fog lights adorn the front bumper, in case the sun goes down whilst having fun meandering along the English lanes. Passengers are met by a plethora of bright Red vinyl, seats and door cards finished to match, making the interior a pleasant place to be. The passenger even gets a glove box door. Said to be an older restored example wearing its period AA badge, this Minor looks every inch the British icon it has become and is offered with history file and V5c.

1979 Land Rover Series III 88

Reg No: CJM 95V

Chassis No: 90155723A

MOT: Exempt

The World-famous Land Rover was launched in 1948 and developed from a single offering to a family of long and short wheelbase derivatives with an ever-increasing choice of engines. The Series III of 1971-1985 was the most numerous, with some 440,000 being produced. Outwardly it was almost identical to the IIA, but the gearbox now benefited from synchromesh on all ratios, while the cab featured a more modern, moulded plastic fascia.

Chassis number 90155723A was first registered on the 14th of August 1979 and is fitted with the 2285cc straight-four petrol engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Green with Green wheels and Khaki canvas, with Green interior upholstery. With a recorded mileage of 15,711 recorded miles, the SWB is fitted with a matching bonnet mounted spare, free-wheeling hubs, rear grab handles, military lifting eyes, and deluxe front seats (with belts). Benefitting from much improvement while in the current ownership, the Land Rover has a recently refreshed canvas hood, new carburettors and distributor, clutch slave and master cylinders and renewed footwells.

Offered with a selection of invoices from the vendor’s ownership and a current V5C document.

No Reserve* MOT: January 2023

Mercedes-Benz celebrated the launch of the 300SL Roadster with 3 very special ‘40th Anniversary Editions of the SL. The ‘SL Silver Arrow’, SL Designo Alanite and Designo Almandine. Only 50 of each model were built for the UK market making these highly exclusive. Both models featured special paint finishes in either Alanite Green (Dark Green metallic) or Almandine Black (Dark Purple Metallic) and featured Designo leather and wood trim finishes. The Alanite model was offered with Java leather and burr walnut trim. With prices for the SL Alanite starting from £51,190, this surely presents incredible value in today’s market.

‘Y338 LMA’ is offered with only 54,950 miles on the odometer and just 3 former keepers. In current ownership for the last 14 years, this particular example has been looked after in its current ownership by an independent Mercedes-Benz ex master technician who remarkably remembers completing the pre-delivery inspection on the car. Included with the vehicle is its desirable matching hardtop and hardtop stand, and ‘Y338 LMA’ is also offered with its original bookpack including a service book comprising all main dealer and specialist stamps, as well as a large collection of previous invoices, MOTs and the V5C document.

Reg No: AK03 VFC

Chassis No: SARRDWBKC3D615561

MOT: November 2022

With a strong following as a modern classic, the MG Fs and TFs featured a mid-mounted 1.6-litre or 1.8-litre engine and arguably handle better than the highly regarded Mazda MX5. The secondgeneration MG TF changed from the earlier car’s complex Hydragas suspension, in favour of coil springs. With the MkII’s launch came a revised grille and headlights. Production was suspended in April 2005, when MG Rover collapsed but not before 39,249 MkII MG TFs were built (from 2002 onwards). A great value British classic.

One of just 600 ‘Cool Blue’ 2003 special editions, it offered the motorist some refreshing features for the MG TF. Unique was the blue Alcantara and leather seats, a blue hood, and the well-known 16 inch 6-spoke alloy wheels. Paintwork options included Anthracite, Pearlescent Trophy Blue, or Starlight Silver. Other distinguishing features were the bright mesh kit, a wind-stop, fog lights at the front, leather steering wheel, Alcantara and leather interior, and alloy gearknob. 16v 1.6 and 1.8 engines were available, this TF is the 1.8 135bhp version. With just 53,260 miles from new (atoc), ‘AK03 VFC’ was supplied new via MG/Rover dealer Victor Wood of Oakham Ltd and is offered with the original stamped service book displaying eighteen, along with V5C.

1980 Leyland Mini 1275 GTS

47

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: EWN 133V

MOT: December 2022

Chassis No: 5013283 Introduced on July 26th 1973, the Mini GTS was marketed in its native South Africa with slogans such as: ‘For little old ladies, it ain’t’ and ‘Designed like a Cooper. Built by Leyland’.

Essentially a Clubman 1275 GT powered by a Cooper S engine, the performance flagship achieved considerable success in the Asseng Group 1 and Castrol Marketcars Standard Production Championships. Never available new outside South Africa, just 4,212 are thought to have been made before production ceased in March 1980 despite CAR (SA) magazine hailing the GTS as ‘the most exciting Mini ever built’.

A notably late example, chassis 5013238 is said to have been treated to an extensive ‘nut and bolt’ restoration and upgrade programme from May 2020 to July 2021. According to an accompanying specification sheet, the diminutive four-seater had its correct-type engine enlarged via an offset bore and 1360 Hypolite pistons. The four-cylinder unit is also understood to boast a ‘Giant’ fully ported/gas-flowed large valve cylinder head, DY camshaft, Weber 36DCD carburettor, Maniflow LCB exhaust branch manifold, aluminium radiator, roller tip rockers, performance pushrods and new bearings throughout etc. Finished in Pearlescent White with Black upholstery and authentic GTS graphics, the Mini was reportedly further enhanced via the addition of front and rear adjustable HiLo suspension, Gaz adjustable shock absorbers all-round, dimpled/grooved front disc brakes (with uprated Green Stuff brake pads), aluminium pedals, LED headlights and a Piano Black dashboard. Riding on 13-inch Minilite-style alloys shod with Yokohama tyres and sound-proofed front to rear, chassis 5013238 was initially purchased by the vendor for competition use. A keen rally driver, he got the Mini MOT tested and UK road registered as ‘EWN 133V’ before deciding that it was too nice to thrash on forest and gravel stages! Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

1997 BMW M3 Evolution Convertible

48

The property of former WBC World Champion Robin Reid Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Reg No: T.B.A.

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: WBSBK92070EX65710 Faster and more refined than its homologation-bred predecessor, the second (E36) generation of BMW’s iconic M3 debuted in November 1992. Initially available in Coupe guise, Convertible and Saloon variants were added two years later. Boasting the highest specific power output of any normally aspirated engine in the world (96bhp per litre), the BMW’s 3.0 litre straight-six developed some 286bhp and 232lbft of torque. Sitting some 31mm lower than its 3-Series siblings, the E36 M3 utilised the same multi-link rear axle as the marque’s Z1 Roadster together with thicker anti-roll bars and uprated springs/dampers. Judged by ‘Car and Driver’ magazine to be the finest handling car that money could buy in 1995, the following year saw the BMW gain a more potent 3.2 litre engine (320bhp / 258lbft) and sixspeed manual transmission. Marketed by BMW GB as the M3 Evolution, the E36 M3 3.2 was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds and limited to 155mph. Only 2,107 of the 71,242 E36 M3s made were RHD Evolution Convertibles.

Offered for sale by its original owner – none other than former Olympic medallist and WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Robin Reid – chassis EX65710 was built in April 1997 and finished in Estoril Blue Metallic with Light Grey Nappa leather upholstery. Just twenty-six years old when he bought the BMW, Reid had it customised with a Zeemax ZM3 wide body kit, Momo quick-release steering wheel, Kenwood stereo and Alpina 18-inch alloy wheels at an additional cost of £9,000. Kept garaged and little used in recent years, the four-seater started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Impressively smart for a twenty-five year old car, this head-turning M3 Evolution Convertible is offered for sale with a V5 Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until March 2023 and sundry paperwork.

1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL A rare RHD example

49

Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000* Reg No: Unregistered (formerly ‘YBR 384’)

Chassis No: 121.040-20.020930

MOT: Exempt

The 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of a monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by powerassisted drums all round.

Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants, and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price of £2,693 did nothing to deter purchasers. Options included a third seat placed transversely behind the front ones which were big enough to carry an adult. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced (just over two percent of which – some 562 cars - were to right-hand drive specification).

Completed during the 1961 model year, this particular right-hand drive example – chassis 121.04020020930 – is understood to have been supplied new to the United Kingdom, with the original chassis plate text presented in English and previously registered ‘YBR 384’. Having restored another 190SL with her father during the mid-1980s, the vendor purchased this example in the summer of 1989 from a gentleman in London. Collected by the vendor (while sporting MercedesBenz cap and overalls!), the 190SL was then driven to a garage who were asked to store it while the vendor and her father undertook a second joint restoration. Regretfully, the tale takes a sad turn here as not only did the vendor’s father become unwell, but the garage dismantled the car completely and stole the engine and one of the axles (amongst other parts).

With her father’s health continuing to deteriorate, the 190SL was retrieved and placed into hibernation until this year and is now being offered for sale for the first time since 1989. The engine and one of the axles are known to be missing from the Mercedes-Benz, although there may be further absent parts too. The full selection of parts that are available with the Mercedes-Benz will be updated on our website. The mortal remains of ‘YBR 384’ are offered with the original chassis and body plates and a small selection of invoices. Being one of the 562 right-hand drive examples manufactured, this is a scarce and exciting opportunity to acquire a restoration project 190SL from long-term ownership.

A donation is being made from the sale proceeds to a vascular dementia charity in memory of the vendor’s late father.

1999 Daimler Super V8

50

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Reg No: D8 DVG

MOT: June 2022

Chassis No: SAJAC34J7YMF00052 ‘The new aluminium V8 was smooth, quiet and powerful, and corresponded perfectly with low road noise, long a key feature of Jaguars.’ – Eric Dymock, ‘The Jaguar File’.

The new V8-powered Daimler saloons were introduced in 1997 as part of Jaguar’s revised X300 range, a new and highly acclaimed ZF five-speed automatic gearbox arriving at the same time. This state-of-the-art, quad-cam, 32-valve engine was built in capacities of 3.2 and 4.0 litres to power three new Jaguars and two new Daimlers. The new Daimlers comprised the V8 and Super V8, the latter equipped with a 322bhp supercharged unit, both of which shared the same longwheelbase four-door saloon body and were equipped to the customarily very high standard of luxury.

As well as being V8 powered, the car is taken to other extremes with its very rare supercharging and long-wheelbase and luxurious specification. A well-specified Daimler from new, this example is presented in Mistral Pearl Metallic with a Cream leather interior and enjoys the supercharged V8 which propels this elegant British saloon along with great ease. This model comes with air conditioning, electric windows and front seats.

It also has a CD player and changer, picnic tables in the rear, cruise control, 17-inch alloys, electric sunroof and the desirable two-seat centre console configuration in the rear, as opposed to the usual bench seat. With distinctive ‘Super V8’ badging, these luxury V8 saloons are a comfortable ride and smooth to drive. For comfort and Daimler brand luxury, the specification also includes stitched Daimler logo head restraints and a deep pile Daimler carpet set, Jaguar Cars satellite navigation system, headlight washers, and front and rear parking sensors. The car has just three former keepers. Included in the sale is the cherished registration number ‘D8 DVG’.

1947 Bentley MkVI

51

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000* Reg No: JGX 926

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B30BH Introduced in 1946, Bentley’s MkVI was the first vehicle offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first assembled in Rolls-Royce’s Crewe factory. Aimed at the emerging ‘owner-driver’ luxury car market, it was closely based on the 1939 MkV. Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc OISE straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Capable of over 100mph when clad in ‘standard saloon’ coachwork, the MkVI developed a reputation for being refined yet responsive.

Delivered in September 1947, to Jack Olding of Jack Olding & Co Ltd of London W1, ‘JGX 926’ was finished in Pearl Grey Metallic with Blue hide. By April 1983, the MkVI had changed hands a few times, yet the MkVI’s odometer had increased by a mere 292 miles since 1961. In 2016, ‘JGX 926’ changed hands once more through Harvey Walsh Ltd, with the car receiving significant work to the engine and chassis before being sold to its current keeper later that year. Since 2016, the car has seen nearly £4,000 in expenditure with Harvey Walsh Ltd, including the trafficators being renewed, fuel pumps overhauled and wings refinished in 2018, replacement tyres, replacement drive belt and general maintenance in 2019 and a fuel system overhaul in 2020. Now showing just 66,162 miles, believed to be genuine, ‘JGX 926’ is still presented in its original combination of Pearl Grey Metallic with contrasting Blue hide, and is believed to retain its original interior. The accompanying history file contains details of its initial build, ownership changes and numerous old MOTs / invoices. Also included are rare leather boot straps, a full set of tools and more. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Good’.

1971 Jensen FF II

52

One of just 107 FF IIs made Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000* Reg No: VMA 384J

Chassis No: 127286

MOT: June 2022

The Jensen FF is a four-wheel-drive grand tourer produced between 1966 and 1971. It was the first production car equipped with four-wheel drive for road rather than terrain use, preceding the renowned and successful Audi Quattro and Subaru’s of many years later, and featured an anti-lock braking system, the Dunlop Maxaret mechanical system, used hitherto only on aircraft, trucks, and racing cars. The letters FF stand for Ferguson Formula after Ferguson Research Limited who invented the car’s system. Similar-looking to the rear-wheel-drive Jensen Interceptor but five inches longer and mechanically very different, it is distinguishable from the Interceptor by a few styling cues; the most obvious being the twin (rather than single) diagonal gill-like air vents on the front wing just rear of the wheel-arches.

This Jensen FF (Ferguson Formula) is one of just 327 produced and only one of 107 of the FF II model manufactured. The odometer displays 110,700 credible miles, and with current ownership since 1996 it has had just 6 former keepers. In current ownership for 26 years it has been continuously taxed and MOT’d. After becoming MOT exempt in 2018 the owner decided to continue testing. It possesses a current MOT. Thankfully, this FF has survived many decades of regular use.

Finished in Flag Red, the exterior is complemented by a Black leather interior. Its appearance has a nice original patina to it and is in very good condition. The Rear footwell carpets appear original, but those in the front and the boot were replaced by the current owner (there are spares for the two front footwell pieces in the boot, included in the sale). Said to be maintained fully and carefully by the present owner with comprehensive records ‘VMA 384J’ was restored to a high standard by previous owners in the 1980s and maintained similarly since, the FF has had further work carried out as required; such as bodywork and a gearbox overhaul. The sills and chassis tubes were part of a 2004 restoration. Significant upgrades have been installed by the present owner for practical reasons, given long-distance and continental travel needs. They include a more effective modified cooling system; 6.5 inch Mk3 alloy wheels with wider tyres instead of the original steel Rostyles; upgraded brake pads; a deeper commercial gearbox sump; an independent gearbox oil cooler; an additional thermostatically controlled engine oil cooler; a Mk3 spin-off oil cooler; a modern fast wind starter; and a low-level frontal air scoop to improve radiator air flow.

The car has won or been placed at many classic car and Jensen Owners Club concours events and shows including two appearances at the NEC and Techno Classica, Essen. At Tatton Park, Cheshire, the FF II won the 1st prize as the Best Classic Sports Car (the shield goes with the car).

The car has also been featured on the cover or inside several magazines (included). Of note, with the car, are special clips to hold the bonnet open when very hot and two rare original jacking point covers; a rubber carpet protector; correct Black air box; and a jacking kit in a sleeve. Records accompanying the FF include substantial history files with photos going back across the tenure of

52

previous owners; service history; list of parts purchased; monthly mileage and running costs; MOT certificates back to 1977; invoices for work carried out; list of shows and events with photographs; and magazine features. The car has a well-thumbed Jensen FF II handbook, a Jensen Heritage Certificate as well as the Green log book, and a V5C.

1936 Pierce-Arrow Model 1601 Roadster

53

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: 834 YUK

Chassis No: 314394

MOT: Exempt

Among America’s great patrician marques, Pierce-Arrow sold cars to the likes of: U.S. Presidents Wm. Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson, King Albert of Belgium, Mrs Andrew Carnegie, Charlie Chaplin, King C. Gillette, Baroness Roland de Graffenreid-Villars, Emperor Hirohito of Japan, J.D. Rockefeller, Ginger Rogers, Babe Ruth, King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, The Shah of Persia, Charles S. Woolworth, Mrs Sarah Winchester and Orville Wright. A merger with Studebaker in 1928 helped the Buffalo, NY based firm through The Great Depression but a refusal to move downmarket ultimately sealed its demise a decade later. Renowned for its excellent engineering, Pierce-Arrow stuck with separate chassis construction and side-valve engines throughout. Although, such design conservatism did not prevent Ab Jenkins from averaging a record-breaking 117.77mph for 24 hours aboard a Pierce-Arrow Convertible in 1933; the same year that the company standardised hydraulic valve lifters and power-assisted brakes.

Thoroughly revamped for the 1936 model-year, the Pierce-Arrow range sat atop a new ‘super frame’ that boasted no fewer than five crossmembers plus a large cruciform brace. Visually updated with a narrower radiator grille and quad headlamps, the straight-eight and V12 models on offer could be ordered with a choice of wheelbase lengths and open or closed coachwork. Priced at $3,195 which was roughly twice the cost of a Cadillac Series 60 or over five times the cost of a Ford V8, the Pierce-Arrow Model 1601 was powered by a 385 cu in (6.3 litre), 150hp straight-eight engine allied to three-speed synchromesh manual transmission complete with automatic overdrive and freewheeling. Marketed as ‘America’s finest motor car for America’s finest families’, Pierce-Arrow sold just 787 cars during 1936.

According to a handwritten note on file, previous owner James D. Olson maintained that chassis 314394 acquired its current Roadster coachwork during 1956, courtesy of Marmon Automobiles of South Pasadena, California. Reputedly laid-up the following decade, the Pierce-Arrow remained in the Golden State until being imported to the UK during September 2003. A previous keeper, not long thereafter (last but one), is understood to have spent some fifteen years and over £100,000 (including the purchase price) bringing the Model 1601 up to its current condition. As well as reportedly receiving attention to its engine, gearbox, axles, running gear, chassis, electrics and interior trim, ‘834 YUK’ has been sympathetically uprated with a Kenlowe fan, full flow oil filter and power steering. Much of the engine work was carried out by the respected Bedfordshire firm Mass Racing Ltd, while D.S. Thompsett of Cambridgeshire renewed the leather upholstery, weather gear (hood, side screens) and carpets etc. Valued for insurance purposes at £80,000 just last year, this rare post-Vintage thoroughbred is worthy of close inspection. It is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and a history file.

1961 Daimler SP250 Dart

54

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: Unregistered

MOT: May 2022

Chassis No: 102817 The futuristic Daimler Dart was introduced at the New York Motor Show in 1959 and had its European debut at the 1959 Earls Court Motor Show; the Dart name was soon dropped after the threat of legal action from Chrysler who had a car of that name within their Dodge division. Thereafter this new sports car was known as the Daimler SP250. Power was provided by the 2.5 litre, Edward Turner designed, V8 that soon became revered for the smoothness in its power delivery with 140bhp on tap.

The coachwork was constructed with glass-reinforced plastic providing a tough, strong and lightweight shape that enhanced performance with, some might say, exciting and non-traditional looks. The 120mph plus capability was recognised by the police and they were soon being used as high-speed chase cars.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a totally original 1961 B-Spec Daimler Dart SP250, with just two private owners in its 61-year life. Purchased by a resident of Edinburgh in July 1997, from dealer John D. Hull of Co. Durham, on the basis that it had ‘one previous owner’ and had only covered 38,000 miles.

In addition, this SP250 had also managed to retain its paint, leather interior and carpets from the day it left the factory in 1961.

Accompanying paperwork includes correspondence between a previous keeper, George Thompson of Morecambe, and the Daimler Works concerning chassis 102817 undergoing an engine overhaul and replacement rear axle at circa 18,000 miles, during August 1964. Although exempt, in May 2021 it passed an MOT test after undergoing a full mechanical recommission by Paul Brown Classic Jaguar, including: hoses; lines; leads; gaskets; spark plugs; points; condenser; transmission and engine oils; brake fluid, pads and discs, fuel pump, clutch slave and master and suspension. A previous MOT took place in June 1997 before entering dry storage as part of a private collection. An expired V5 Registration Document (Blue and Cream) is with the car and it is offered with an owner’s handbook, sales brochure and sundry other literature.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

55

Current ownership since 1987 and 53,000 miles Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: D232 DFA

MOT: August 2022

Chassis No: WDB1070412A052792 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-round independent coilsprung suspension and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with fourspeed 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.

Built to order number 0665110019 during July 1986, chassis 052792 was originally destined for Malawi. Finished in Nautical Blue Metallic with Beige upholstery and a Dark Blue soft-top, the Mercedes-Benz had been re-trimmed in leather and fitted with an AMG steering wheel, five-spoke alloy wheels and chrome wheelarch lips by the time the vendor became its first UK keeper on 4th February 1987. Kept garaged ever since, the 300SL has covered a mere 53,000 miles from new. The service book was pinched out of the car some years back but the seller tells us that the 2+2-seater has proven ‘very reliable and never required any major expenditure’. Driven a mere 1,000 miles or so over the past decade, ‘D232 DFA’ started readily and ran well during our recent photograph session. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, hardtop, MOT certificate valid until August 31st 2022 and sundry paperwork.

1973 Opel Manta A 1900

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000* Reg No: TLP 32M

Chassis No: 598067980

57

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* MOT: Exempt

The Manta A was released in September 1970, a competitor to the Ford Capri, featuring two-door coupe styling and distinctive round tail-lights. It took its name, and a few minor styling cues, from the Manta Ray concept car of 1961 which also famously influenced the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3. In the UK, the first Manta was sold only as an Opel and was normally equipped with a 1.6 or a 1.9-litre CIH engine. In the United States, only the larger, 1.9-litre, engine option was offered. The Manta came with either a four-speed manual or a three-speed TH-180 automatic transmission and came to be known as one of the best-handling cars in its class, going on to win many rallying events in both Europe and America.

Finished in a very much ‘period correct’ Orange with Black vinyl interior, this right-hand drive Manta was acquired by the vendor in July 2012. Since purchase, it has required only minor items to pass its annual MOT test and has also had a new sunroof fitted. Several useful spares are understood to accompany the car. Currently registering some 54,500 miles TLP 32M is described as having “very good” paint, bodywork, engine, 3-speed automatic gearbox, electrics and interior. A rare and attractive survivor.

2006 Alfa Romeo 147 GTA

Reg No: NJ55 DUA

Chassis No: ZAR93700003301111

MOT: T.B.A

Launched in 2002 as the top of the range hatchback model for Alfa Romeo, the GTA is powered by the classic Busso 3.2-litre 24 valve V6. Said to produce some 247 bhp it gave a top speed of c.153 mph. Characterized by wider arches, Teledial 17 inch alloys and a more aggressive grille design, most examples had six-speed manual transmission whilst a small number featured the Selespeed automated manual system. In total, 5,029 147 GTAs were built, 1,004 of which were Selespeeds.

This GTA has been tastefully modified; being slightly lowered with an upgraded Sparco gearknob and Momo steering wheel. It has also had engine modifications which we are advised totally transform the car and is now said to develop some 300 bhp. Recently imported from Japan, it has never seen salt and is described as being “totally solid and unmarked underneath... with a genuine 45,000 miles (73,000 Km) from new”. Benefiting from a recent full service including cam belt, this exciting Alfa features heated leather sports seats, 6 speed Selespeed paddle shift semi-automatic gearbox, Bose stereo, electric windows & mirrors, CD player, 17” alloys, air conditioning & dual zone climate control, ABS and traction control.

1986 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit

59

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

The Mercedes R107 retains a reassuring air of solidity, in an attempt to avoid falling foul of threatened American safety legislation. 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 than its V8 brethren. Powered by a 4520cc SOHC V8 engine, the 450SL model was quoted as developing some 225bhp and 278lbft of torque. A strong 120mph-plus performer, it remained in production until 1980.

This American expat’ came into the UK in 2017. Wearing whitewall tyres and stateside specification twin headlights and larger federal bumpers with over-riders, this is a V8 example that has ambled and cruised in the American sun. There is the ability for an owner to utilise the soft top, with the convenience of having the hardtop ready for the inclement UK days listening to the period rangetopping Becker Mexico radio in comfort. It has clocked up just 42,250 credible recorded miles in its life and is offered with a V5C on an appropriate ‘R’ suffix number plate.

Chassis No: SCAZS0006GCH16244

MOT: Expired

The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. It was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorplan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent incomer was lower and longer than the Silver Shadow and featured a considerably larger glass area. Courtesy of its finely tuned Girling hydraulic self-levelling suspension, it was said to provide the best road-holding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy - it automatically withdrew into the safety of the radiator shell if dislodged from its standard position. There was a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, via which it remained in production until 1998, by which time BMW had obtained an interest in the manufacturer and the Spirit was replaced by the BMW V12-powered Silver Seraph.

Since coming into the current ownership in September 2018 this Silver Spirit has benefited from attention to its suspension system and the fitment of a wheel arch. Registering some 64,500 miles, it is finished in Silver / Blue with Blue hide to the interior and is now described as having “good” bodywork, paint, interior, engine, and gearbox. Offered at ‘no reserve’.

1977 MG B Roadster

60

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* Reg No: SND 550R

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN5426974G Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteenyear 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 leaf-sprung ‘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. The biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred in 1974 when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones, and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.

Manufactured in 1977, this MGB was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 7th of March of that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 1798cc straight-four engine allied to the four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this MG is finished in White with Black leather interior upholstery. Having been in the possession of six former keepers before entering into current ownership in 1997 (having been purchased from an H&H sale in Buxton), ‘SND 550R’ has a recorded mileage of just 19,617 miles at the time of consignment, which is believed to be genuine (with some supporting evidence) but not warranted.

Restored in the late-1990s, with photographs of the work completed accompanying the sale, the MG has benefitted from much improvement while in current custodianship including a full repaint, a full interior refresh and replacement doors and bonnet. There is a late ‘90s Sony radio cassette that has been fitted. ‘SND 550R’ is offered with a history file which includes a large collection of invoices, a handbook, previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C, along with both the full and halftonneau covers and the jack.

1977 Porsche 911 Targa

61

One of just 1,724 J-Series cars made Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: WGD 576R

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: 9117311281 After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche’s own attempts to replace the model with the 928 in the 1970s, much-evolved versions of it remain in production to this day, 45 years later. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche’s eldest son, Ferdinand ‘Butzi’ Porsche and the company’s joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. Initially powered by a dry-sump, aircooled, 2-litre, flat-six engine which was overhung at the rear and allied to a five-speed manual transmission, power output was restricted to 130bhp. In 1968, the 911’s wheelbase was increased by 57mm, and the rear overhang was reduced by the same amount, greatly improved the car’s handling. Since its birth, the 911 story has been one of continual evolution. The Targa top option for the 911 was introduced in 1967 and was an immediate success. Initially, it featured a folding rear window but fairly soon acquired a fixed rear screen.

A desirable UK-supplied, right-hand-drive example, chassis number 9117311281 was first registered on the 19th of April 1977.

Fitted with the aforementioned 2.7-litre six-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission, the Porsche is finished in Guards Red with Black leatherette interior upholstery. With a recorded mileage of some 91,000 recorded miles, the 911 has been in current ownership since 2010. ‘WGD 576R’ was specified from new with power windows, centre console, stabiliser front and rear, trims on the wheel housing and a rear wiper.

Purchased by the vendor as a running restoration project having been stood for a period of time, the Porsche was subject to a full bare metal repaint and wheel refurbishment. Benefitting from new rear brake calipers in March this year, the 911 is understood to have been zinc coated by the factory. Offered with a history file that includes MOTs dating back to 2011, a selection of invoices, a Certificate of Authenticity and a current V5C document.

1952 MG TD

62

Estimate: £15,000 - £17,000* Reg No: WVS 642

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TD22283 Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rearmounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. The first MG sportscar to feature either independent double-wishbone front suspension or rack and pinion steering, the newcomer also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, hidden scuttle reinforcement hoop (save for the first few cars) and twin leading-shoe front brakes. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteeninch steel wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas.

According to the T-Register’s Factory Production Records, chassis TD22283 was built to right-hand drive export specification on 28th November 1952. Handwritten correspondence on file suggests that the MG belonged to several members of the British Army during its early life and might even have spent time in Brunei. Repatriated during the early 1970s, the TD was treated to a protracted twenty-year long restoration by previous keeper Ian Whitwam which culminated in it passing a MOT test on March 26th 1993 and being registered as ‘WVS 642’ with the DVLA. Accompanying invoices show Naylor Bros were responsible for renovating the chassis and gearbox, while fellow marque specialist Anthony Brier not only completed the refurbishment but also updated the two-seater with a higher ratio (4.3:1) crown wheel and pinion and seatbelts in 2003. Acquired by its current registered keeper during 2020, the MG remains highly presentable despite nearly three decades elapsing since it returned to the road. Understood to have been a former show winner, this charming TD ran well during our recent photography session and is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file

1975 Lincoln Continental Mk IV Lipstick Edition

63

Limited edition, c.52,000 miles Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000* Reg No: JOK 786N

MOT: March 2023

Chassis No: 5Y89A847268 Introduced in 1972, the supremely comfortable Lincoln Continental Mark IV was a personal luxury coupe and Ford’s answer to the Cadillac Eldorado. The Wes Dahlberg styled newcomer was longer, lower and lighter than its predecessor. Still very much a neoclassical design, its vertical Rolls-Royce-esque grille, faux spare wheel housing trunk lid and opera windows let into the C-pillars. The interior featured a ‘Twin Comfort Lounge’ bench front seat with 6-way power adjustment, air-conditioning, Cartier clock, electric windows, and plentiful sound deadening. Powered by a 460 cu in (7.5 litre) V8 engine allied to a three-speed automatic transmission, the special edition Blue Diamond, Black Diamond, and the Lipstick Edition were made in lower volume allowing the owner to stand out from the crowd!

Manufactured in 1975, this Lipstick Edition was supplied new to the United States, finished in White (one of two Lipstick Edition colours - the other being Red), with the complementary White interior with Red trimmings, and the exterior finished by a moulded side-strip. Fitted with the aforementioned 7500cc V8 engine allied to the three-speed automatic transmission, the Lincoln arrived on UK shores in 2004. Now showing a recorded mileage of just 52,344 miles (at time of consignment), which is believed, but not warranted to be genuine mileage from new, ‘JOK 786N’ has been in the hands of the vendor since 2017. Presented in a very original, wellpreserved condition and ‘fully loaded’ with power seats, electric windows with locking function, cruise control and a Cartier clock, the Continental has been subject to much improvement while in current ownership including new shock absorbers and underside cleaning and Waxoyling in 2018 and a replacement ignition module and plugs in 2021 (to the cost of some £550). Accompanied to sale by a selection of previous MOT certificates, several past invoices, an original sales brochure, images of the Lincoln, and a current V5C document. A low-production limited edition, it epitomises Lincoln’s ultimate ‘land yacht’ ethos. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium of 12.5% plus VAT

1936 MG TA

64

1 of 3,003 made and restored from the chassis up Estimate: £26,000 - £30,000* Reg No: CKB 526

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TA0472 The first of the famous MG T-series line, the TA was introduced in 1936.

Larger, faster and more comfortable than the PB, the TA had accounted for 3,003 sales by the time production ceased in 1939. According to the T-Register’s Factory Production Records, chassis TA0472 was built on 26th August 1936. Road registered as ‘CKB 526’ in Liverpool the following month, an accompanying buff logbook shows that the MG belonged to William Howell of Market Harborough by 1963, who is understood to have treated it a thorough engine overhaul (including sourcing ‘the last known new block from Toulmin Motors’). Bought by Max Green three years later, the TA was entrusted to York, Ward & Rowlett Ltd of Wellingborough for new kingpins and a complete interior retrim.

Taken off the road during the 1970s, the two-seater remained in Mr Green’s possession until 2010 when the vendor fulfilled a boyhood dream by acquiring it. A skilled toolmaker, he stripped ‘CKB 526’ to a bare chassis before embarking upon a thorough, photographically documented restoration. Thought to have covered a mere 12,000, post-overhaul miles, the engine was found to be in good order and refreshed with new piston rings, valve springs and some head work. The gearbox and back axle were checked over, and a new clutch installed. The steering, suspension and brakes were gone through, the side-laced wire wheels refurbished and new Blockley inner tubes added to the tyres. A new TA bodytub complete with doors and set of suitable front wings were sourced from fellow marque enthusiasts, while the original bonnet and rear wings were repaired. A classic car restorer mounted the body / wings and finessed any alignment issues before the two-seater was professionally painted to match the seller’s granddaughter’s pedal car! Uprated with a modern electronic regulator and rewired throughout, the MG also boasts proper rear lights and indicators. The instruments were renovated and housed within a new bookmatched walnut dashboard. Estimating that he has spent some £29,000 on ‘CKB 526’ not counting his own labour, the vendor is only offering it for sale to make way for another project. Worthy of close inspection, it is expected that this delightful TA will be driven some 170 miles to Buxton.

1936 Riley 15/6 Adelphi Saloon

65

No Reserve* Reg No: RV 9051

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 46A2751 Introduced in 1928, Riley’s six-cylinder engine famously went on to underpin ERA’s racing powerplants. The ultimate road-going version, the 15/6, became available during 1935 and could be had with a range of open and closed coachwork. A popular addition, the Adelphi Six-Light Saloon body was a far more commodious and practical proposition than its Kestrel sibling.

Trimmed to a better standard than the equivalent four-cylinder model, the Adelphi 15/6 was a strong performer with a reputed 85mph top speed. Although, survivors from the estimated production run of 230 cars are a rare sight today.

First registered as ‘RV 9051’ in Portsmouth on 4th June 1936, chassis 46A2751 appears to have survived the last eighty-six years remarkably well. Thought to pleasingly retain much of its original Green leather upholstery, the Riley is understood to have been treated to a thorough engine overhaul by Ian Gladstone of marque specialist Blue Diamond Services during the early 1990s. Frequently rallied by then keeper Anthony Duff Esq. including various continental excursions, the Adelphi is said to have been entrusted to Brian Lloyd-Jacob in the early 2000s to have its straight-six checked over and uprated with high compression pistons. Entering the current ownership during 2004, the 15/6 has been enjoyed on the Beamish and Eskdale rallies as well as for trips to Prescott, etc. Treated to a new rear window seal, overhauled distributor, and general servicing by the seller, he has also installed an SU carburettor in place of the original Zenith. Laid up alongside its Kestrel stablemate in recent years, the Adelphi is currently running and driving but would benefit from recommissioning prior to sustained road use. Very much an ‘oily rag’ car, this rare surviving, six-cylinder Riley is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document, reprinted instruction book, sundry invoices, and various old MOTs & tax discs dating back to 1990.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster Current ownership since 1977

66

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: EYW 901J

Chassis No: 1R1684

MOT: March 2023

Introduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar’s immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. Less noticeable was its enlarged front air intake which in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the newcomer better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp/283lbft, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, fixed-head two-seater and fixed-head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the bulk of Series II production. Indeed, just 776 of the 8,627 open two-seaters made were to right-hand drive specification.

According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 1R1684 was manufactured on 30th April 1970. Initially finished in Regency Red with Black upholstery (the same colour combination it pleasingly sports today), the two-seater was supplied new by Henlys of London to Advance Tapes Ltd of Leicester and road registered as ‘EYW 901J’ on February 1st 1971.

Entering the current ownership six years later via Andian Automobiles Ltd of Essex, the Jaguar was soon treated to a new bonnet, rear wheel arch repairs and a thorough Waxoyling. Zeroed following a repair in 1982, the E-Type’s speedometer shows that it has covered just 25,000 miles over the past four decades. Kept garaged as part of a small private collection, the two-seater has been regularly maintained by marque-experienced mechanics with notable works over the years encompassing: cylinder head refurbishment by VSE (2006), extensive brake/suspension/rear subframe rejuvenation (2010), original engine professionally overhauled at an indicated 20,685 miles (2011), carburettors attended to (2015), new Black mohair hood/door cards/internal sill covers etc (2015), minor bodywork defects rectified and full respray (2016) and new Burlen SU fuel pump (2018). The vendor tells us that ‘EYW 901J’ has been ‘used for pleasure only. Therefore, it has not been driven during inclement weather. It has always been a pleasure to own and drive. Due to engine/suspension/brake overhauls, it starts well, runs well and stops well, and being resprayed and re-trimmed (apart from the seats and dash which are original and in fine condition) it looks good. As I am in my eighties and have other more modern Jaguars I feel it is time I started slimming down the mechanical part of my life. I will miss the E-Type as it has been a lot of fun!’

c.1952 Riley RMB Saloon

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Reg No: HMW 694

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 9295 Introduced in 1946 as a ‘big brother’ to the 1.5 litre RMA, the Riley RMB featured a larger 2.5 L (2443 cc) “Big Four” engine with twin SU carburettors, starting with 90 hp (67 kW) but increasing to 100 hp (75 kW) for 1948 with a 95 mph (153 km/h) top speed. Body-wise, the RMB was a lengthened RMA, with a wheelbase of 6.5 in (165 mm) longer and overall length a full 7 in (178 mm) longer, and was underpinned by the same advanced chassis design complete with independent torsion bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering and hydro-mechanical four-wheel drum brakes.

This particular sleek-lined Riley RMB is presented in the very attractive combination of Black with Cream bodywork and a sumptuously red contrasting leather interior. Subject to full recent restoration as supported by not only a USB stick containing full photographic history, but also a professionally printed leaflet for good measure. Currently displaying just 42,247 miles on the odometer, ‘HMW 694’ has interesting period characteristics such as suicide doors, ‘clap-hand’ windscreen wipers and working trafficators.

Included with the vehicle is an impressive history file, containing a large collection of invoices for the restoration totalling over £12,500 on parts. In addition, an original workshop manual and two modern workshop manuals are present, along with a copy of the Riley Club spares list folder. Additionally, there are two books relating to the RM; ‘The Legendary RMs’ by John Price Williams and the ‘RM Series: Pathfinder and 2.6 A Brooklands Portfolio’ and a large collection of 1940s Riley magazines.

Finally, a V5C document is included which displays 4 former keepers.

1956 Ford Thunderbird

68

Estimate: £32,000 - £36,000* Reg No: 633 XVA

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: P6FH270035 Conceived to steal sales away from Chevrolet’s successful Corvette, Ford’s Thunderbird range would progress through no less than 11 generations with a combined production total in excess of 4.4 million units. The first-generation cars hit the streets in October 1954 and, while it had been created in direct response to the racy Chevrolet Corvette, Ford’s emphasis was more on comfort than overt sportiness. A true piece of automotive Americana, it was immortalised by the Beach Boys’ hit song ‘Fun, Fun, Fun’ and in the George Lucas car movie ‘American Graffiti’ (1973). The design’s kerb appeal is perhaps best encapsulated by the lengthy list of celebrity owners including Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley.

Subtle styling revisions for the 1957 model year included a revised front bumper, larger grille, tail-fins, and rear lights with the relocation of the spare wheel to the trunk. Over 21,000 examples were sold and the 1957 model was destined to be the last two-seater Ford produced until the 1980s.

This wonderfully period evoking Ford Thunderbird in White, looks to have come straight off a movie star’s driveway.

According to the vendor the car spent it’s life in California having only 2 owners whilst in the USA. It was lovingly owned and cared for by a doctor in California for 56 years before being imported into the U.K. in 2018. Typically fitted with the ‘on the floor’ selected automatic transmission. Notable design features, that are present and correct, include the rear wheel arch spats, air intake hood scoop and rear mounted ‘continental’ rear tyre mount. Period correct thin-band Whitewall tyres complement the White theme that is carried over into the two-tone Cream White with Black interior with the original built-in radio. In the trunk, there is the original jack and evidence of Waxoyling treatment over the years. Described by the vendor as ‘very good’ in regards to its engine, gearbox, interior, bodywork and paintwork. This ‘fun’ T’bird is offered with V5C, reproduction manual and some old photographs.

1948 Bentley MkVI ‘Simpson’ Special

69

Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000* Reg No: HWT 929

Chassis No: B484DA

MOT: Exempt

Introduced in 1946, the MkVI was Bentley’s first post-WW2 model. Aimed at the emerging ‘owner-driver’ luxury car market, it was closely based on the 1939 MkV (of which only fifteen were produced). Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung live rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc (later 4566cc) overhead inlet/side exhaust straight-six engine mated to four-speed manual transmission. The suspension was independent using coil springs at the front and by leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by mechanically-assisted drums all-round. As with its forebears, a central lubrication system allowed oil to be applied to the moving parts of the suspension via a central reservoir. Unfortunately, the variable quality of steel available in the post-WW2 period meant that the MkVI’s Standard Steel Saloon coachwork rarely lasted as long as Crewe had intended, and by the mid-1960s there were a good number of mechanically strong but cosmetically untidy cars running around. Dating from that time onwards, the tradition of building Bentley MkVI-based Specials is long and proud.

Well known in ‘winged B’ circles with several examples of his work being featured in Ray Roberts’ book ‘Bentley Specials and Special Bentleys’, David Simpson was commissioned by Brian Hughes - the then Chairman of the Bentley Drivers’ Club’ South East section - to convert ‘HWT 929’ from a Standard Steel Saloon into a Special during 1991. Having completed his first such transformation for renowned marque collector Charles Teall two decades earlier, Mr Simpson followed established practice by relocating the cruciform brace further back within the chassis thus allowing the engine and gearbox to be repositioned well behind the front axle line. New mounts for the drivetrain saw it lowered with the bulkhead, radiator and radiator grille being shortened accordingly (the latter by four inches). These modifications gave the rolling chassis a far more rakish and sporting stance which was complemented by the lightweight aluminium over ash coachwork affixed atop it. Featuring a dual cowl scuttle, nearside-mounted spare wheel, external handbrake, single-door and recessed footwells, the four-seater body was trimmed in Black leather. Imposing large Lucas FP1100 headlights, 16-inch wire wheels and extravagant blade wings completed the look which so impressed the judges at the Bentley Drivers’ Club’s 1993 Hatfield House and 1995 Broughton Castle Concours events (no mean feat for a Special).

Uprated with a Continental crown wheel and pinion (14/41 ratio) for high-speed cruising and entrusted to coachbuilder James E. Pearce for the fabrication of a rear luggage trunk and more aesthetically pleasing hood, ‘HWT 929’ had covered nearly 20,000 post-transformation miles by November 1996 when Mr Hughes sold it to the vendor. Toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe, the Bentley accompanied the seller to North America for eighteen years with journeys to several of the fifty states as well as Canada. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, ‘HWT 929’ is only being offered for sale because it has become surplus to

requirements (the vendor’s garage houses two other MkVI / R-Type Specials). Now showing some 40,300 miles to its odometer and still highly presentable, the four-seater was valued at £85,000 by marque authority Dr Tim Houlding a decade or so ago. Accompanying paperwork includes a copy build record showing that the MkVI’s first owner was the television mogul Edward Fattorini and correspondence from Anne Edwards recounting several humorous episodes that occurred during her father’s stewardship of the car (1957-1961). Able to boast ‘matching’ chassis and engine numbers, this decidedly handsome Special is worthy of close inspection and would cost considerably more than the guide price to build today.

2008 Jaguar XKR 4.2 Coupe

70

One private keeper and 251 miles from new Estimate: £34,000 - £38,000* Reg No: BK58 AMX

MOT: September 2022

Chassis No: SAJAC43R699B28222 Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum.

Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded / riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by a supercharged 4.2 litre V8 engine developing some 420bhp and 413lbft of torque, the range-topping XKR variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and 155mph (limited). The standard fit sixspeed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to swap cogs by the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts.

A rival to the Porsche 911 (997) and Mercedes-Benz SL (R230), the Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).

This is ‘time-warp’ car built-in 2008. With just the one private owner and staggeringly only 251 miles from new, this is a special example of what Jaguar was capable of in the mid-2000s. Finished in Metallic Vapour Grey with Ivory and Walnut interior, this highly specified Jaguar XKR has only stretched its legs on regular runs to the MOT station. The first and only owner ordered the car from the factory before suffering an injury, which rendered them unable to drive this exquisite car. They kept hold of it, hoping one day they would be able to enjoy the XKR. As well as the figure-hugging sports seats, leather trim, sat-nav, a six-CD in dash changer, electric seats, Bluetooth and reversing camera. Offered here with a very high specification, including: Alcon high-performance braking system; Bowers and Wilkins premium sound; adaptive cruise control; keyless entry; reversing camera; Bluetooth and more. Accompanied by the original bookpack, handbooks, service book and two keys, this 251 miles from new (it needed saying again) supercharged unicorn of a ‘Jag’, has been MOT’d regularly and then garaged throughout the year. Surely an unrepeatable opportunity?

1998 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 Designo Edition

71

One of 150 RHD examples Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: S991 DGC

MOT: September 2022

Chassis No: WBD1290672F166885 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 models came standard with an aluminium detachable hardtop that was fitted by folding the canvas roof down and manually attaching the hardtop.

The number of standard features was high.

In 1957 Mercedes-Benz had unveiled the 300SL Roadster to the world, starting a lineage of grand touring cars under the Sport Leicht name. 40 years (and four generations) later in 1997, Mercedes-Benz celebrated the launch of the Roadster with a very special ‘40th Anniversary Edition’ of the SL, the Designo. 500 cars were built worldwide, with just 150 being offered in righthand drive. These special cars featured Designo paintwork, AMG wheels, and ‘special edition’ badging on the sills and ashtray cover.

This SL 500 example was manufactured in 1998 and was supplied new via Bradshaw Webb Mercedes-Benz, Chelsea, being first registered in the United Kingdom on the 24th of September that year. Fitted with the 4973cc V8 engine allied to the five-speed automatic transmission, the R129 is finished in Designo Vario Blue/ Green paintwork with Grey leather interior upholstery. In current ownership since 2019, ‘S991 DGC’ has covered just 64,508 miles from new at the time of consignment and has had just five former keepers. Fitted with the factory glass hardtop, the SL 500 has benefitted from some £2,600 worth of expenditure while in the current ownership, including four new Michelin tyres in January 2022. Offered with a history file which includes the original bookpack with stamped service book displaying twelve entries and two further service invoices (many from Mercedes-Benz main dealers and specialists), as well as a collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, original sales literature, and current V5C. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium of 12.5% plus VAT

1972 MG B GT

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: YSR 86L

Chassis No: GHD5274504G

73

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000* MOT: Exempt

Introduced in May 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. With the MkIII derivative of 1972 came a new fascia and improved heater. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced, a large proportion of which are still providing good service today.

Finished in British Racing Green, traditional for an MG, this B GT is a desirable chrome bumper model. As with many MG Bs in Green, the Black vinyl interior complements the exterior and provides for a ‘sporty’ appearance. Self-evidently the subject of previous restoration work, this example has been fitted with period Minilite-style alloy wheels, a design of alloy wheel often fitted in the era. The current owner has had it since 2014. With a history file accompanying, this pretty MG B Coupe has 3 former keepers showing on HPI report.

1992 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet

Reg No: J950 TRP

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430358

MOT: December 2022

Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre (2990cc) DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 150mph. The first open-topped 944 derivative - the S2 Cabriolet - featured a body built by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) of Weinsberg, Germany and many of the same styling cues as its Coupe sibling. Just 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991.

Having been first registered in March of 1992 this very attractive and original-looking 944 Series 2 Cabriolet was delivered with the 5-speed transmission. Showing evidence of careful ownership and just 89,725 miles on the odometer, the car comes with its original Porsche service book with 19 stamps for servicing. A further 8 stamps show fluid, belt and condition checks at Porsche dealerships as well as independent specialist garages. The MOT history is extensive and includes an itemised list of service and repair work and a collection of invoices for parts and work carried out. Inside this 944 has a Blue leather interior with the Blue leather carried through to the dashboard steering wheel. A Blaupunkt Lausanne CD radio player provides the tunes for that perfect longdistance trip with the fabric soft top down.

1993 Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet

c.1974 Porsche 718 RSK Evocation

75

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000* Chassis No: WF0LXXGKALNG87070

MOT: T.B.A

Launched in 1983, the MkIII Ford Escort was a very different proposition from its predecessors.

The newcomer was intended to be a hi-tech, design to compete with the VW Golf. The Cabriolet version was built by German coachbuilder Karmann; it was Ford’s first drop-top car since the Corsair of the ‘60s and was initially available in Ghia or XR3i guise. The MkIV Escort of 1986 was a more gentle evolution than revolution, but the MkV model of 1990 brought another new bodyshell and in 1991 saw the introduction of the 16-valve Zetec engines. For the XR3i this meant a unit of 1796cc producing either 105 or 130bhp. This generation of XR3i was available in Hatchback Coupe or Cabriolet bodied variants.

Looking elegant in a deep red, with complementing red soft-top, this Karmann-built Escort Cabriolet displays just 37,600 miles from new and just 5 former keepers. The car was originally supplied new by Quicks of Chester and still retains its rear window sticker. As an XR3i version of the Cabriolet, it was bestowed with a power hood, electric windows and mirrors and integral front fog lights in the front bumper. It is offered with the original book pack, owner’s handbook and service book. A V5C is present, along with a collection of old MOT certificates, invoices and tax discs.

Offered at ‘no reserve’.

MOT: Exempt

The Porsche 718 is a series of one or two-seat sports-racing cars built by Porsche from 1957 to 1962. The 718 was a development of the successful Porsche 550A. The car’s full name is 718 RSK, where “RS” stands for RennSport (sports-racing) and the “K” reflects the shape of the car’s revised torsion-bar suspension. It had a mid-engined layout. For many years the 718 RSK Spyder has been replicated by component car manufacturers around the world using numerous base vehicles, the VW Beetle is the most common base for an evocation.

This is a South African built 718-RSK Spider (sic), an evocation of the famous Porsche Spyder sports car. Brought to the UK from South Africa in May 2021, the chassis plate reads 718-RSK Spider. It’s a running and driving car with a new battery, recent oil change and filter, new tyres, had attention to the electrics and the lights and the brakes have also had some fettling. The seats have been trimmed in South Africa. This version appears to be based upon a standard rolling chassis and running gear from a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle 1600cc with a 4-speed gearbox. The vendor is not sure when the conversion has taken place. Offered in a Porsche Yellow, possibly Racing Yellow at the time of consignment, it is on the NOVA register and in the process of being UK registered.

1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

76

Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000* Reg No: PDX 194M

Chassis No: 1S1819BW

MOT: January 2023

By 1971, Jaguar’s jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat’s performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined.

“The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear without even a gearchange to interrupt one’s headlong dash into the distance” (Autocar 5th July 1973).

With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space, and in conjunction with wider front/ rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding.

Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior.

Built on 20th March, 1973, Chassis No.1S1819BW left Browns Lane for distributor Henlys of London with Engine No. 7S1819SB; that meant a V12 configured 5.3 litre (5343cc) engine with automatic transmission. This example possesses a Jaguar Heritage Certificate to show that it still wears the same exterior and trim specification and running gear as of March 1973. Ordered in British Racing Green it has the beautifully complementary Moss Green leather interior with a Black soft-top. In 1998 the gearbox had an overhaul at c.60,000 miles. Trevor Farrington Ltd of Knutsford carried out £3850 worth of recommissioning work in July 2018. Cheshire Classic Cars Ltd provided £3930 of detailing in 2016. Understood to have had just five former keepers since August 1973, the vendor became custodian in 2015. A matching chassis and engine numbers example which displays a credible 65,505 miles, it’s accompanied by V5C are old MOT documents, a current MOT and original E-Type operating, maintenance and service handbooks. The vendor advises the Jaguar drives ‘very’ well and for some peace of mind possesses an MOT until January 2023.

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000* Reg No: UBD 645G

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11304412008305 Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model or range of models since 1954 when the landmark 300SL was unveiled. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. Their successor was the W113 series. The last of the line, the 280 SL, was launched in 1968. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier siblings, it was powered by a new seven bearing crankshaft 2,781cc straight-six engine that developed 170bhp and 180lb ft of torque. The SL was equipped with all-round independent suspension - double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Braking was by power assisted on all corners and steering was by recirculating ball. The car’s ‘square’ track gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280 SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power assisted steering. Some 23,885 were made by the time production ceased in 1971, virtually half of which were exported to the USA. This popular W113 series of cars were replaced by the all new and substantially heavier R107 350SL/450SL range With a recorded mileage of 69,000 since 1969, this 280SL is accompanied by both the hardtop and the soft-top. Having been subject to much expenditure in 2018, including a front brake overhaul it is presented finished in an attractive colour combination of Gold complemented to a Black interior. The original tool roll is also present with the vehicle. It is offered with a V5C, a collection of invoices, an original handbook and service book.

1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo I

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: J4 FLR

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: ZLA831AB000568543 The Giugiaro-penned Delta range was launched in 1979 but it was not until 1986 that the Lancia arm of the Fiat empire launched their rally rocket. The resultant Delta Integrale with 4-wheel drive and turbocharged twin cam motor was absolutely sensational on both road and, more importantly, a rally special stage. For the factory rally team campaigned the Martiniliveried Integrale in Group 4 form for several seasons in the late 80s / early 90s on the World Championship circuit and enjoyed enormous success. Over the years, the Integrale evolved and the spec of the road cars changed as the homologation department added more goodies. Bigger wings were required to cover wider rubber and the 8 valves were increased to 16 to expand breathing. The ultimate spec to have was the Evo for Evolution. The Evolution I models of 1991/1992 were the final batch of ‘homologation specials’ and featured wider track front and rear, extended wheel arches and adjustable roof spoiler.

Sadly, the bean counters killed off the project in 1994.

Manufactured in 1992 (the final year of 1st Series production) and first UK registered May 1997, this LHD example is finished in metallic black with green alcantara interior and has covered just 117,500 recorded kms (c.73,000 miles). Described as having “very good” engine, transmission, bodywork, paint and interior, J4 FLR features 16 inch EVO alloys with new tyres and is offered with its original bookpack, handbooks and service book along with a selection of expired MoT certificates and sundry invoices. Recently subjected to much expenditure and a full service, work included replacement of the differential oil, gearbox oil, engine oil, parcel shelf hooks, washer jets, timing belt, balancing belt & shaft bearing, auxiliary belt, brake fluid, clutch fluid and fuel filter etc, its understood a fresh MOT certificate will be in place for the sale.

Desirable C00 spec and G50 gearbox Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: T.B.A.

MOT: April 2023

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZHS102816 Built to a simpler, lighter specification than those headed to other countries and unaffected by the heavy pedal offset which blighted every right-hand drive incarnation of the 911 up until the 996, German market (or ‘C00’) cars have long been revered by marque purists.

Finished in Marine Blue metallic with Blue leather / cloth upholstery, chassis 2816 was supplied new by Autohaus Stegelmann GmbH & Co of Bad Salzuflen to an internationally successful ladies’ clothing company. Built with the desirable G50 gearbox but few extras aside from a passenger side mirror and sunroof, the Carrera 3.2 was serviced eleven times by main dealers and specialists up until 3rd April 2000 at 143,100km (c.89,000 miles). Imported to the UK the following year by a doctor who ran it for a while on German plates, the Porsche was registered with the DVLA during December 2002 and entered the current ownership four months later. Initially entrusted to JZ Machtech of Kings Langley, the Coupe has been maintained by fellow marque specialist Auto 2000 since 2013. Installing a full Dansk stainless steel exhaust system and new drive shaft boots that same year at 225,828km, the Kempston-based firm last serviced chassis 2816 on 11th January 2021 at 236,399km. Now showing some 238,000km (c.148,000 miles) to its odometer, the Carrera 3.2 started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. There are some imperfections to the paintwork and a small area of bubbling to the driver’s side front wing, but the car looks solid underneath, and the interior has worn well. Overall, it comes across as a genuine and highly original machine (the factory airbox and steering wheel are included). Enjoyed for several trips to the Le Mans 24-hours and riding on fresh Avon rubber all-round, it is anticipated that this desirable C00-spec, G50 ‘box Carrera 3.2 Coupe will be driven to Buxton. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and numerous bills / receipts.

1979 MG B Roadster

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: DPL 513V

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN5483496G Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteenyear 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 leaf-sprung ‘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. The biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred in 1974 when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones, and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.

Manufactured in 1979, this MGB Roadster was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of August that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 1781cc straight-four engine, along the unit fitted was a replacement unit fitted in 1996 (at 87,406 miles), allied to the four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the Roadster is finished in Green with White interior upholstery and a matching White hood. In previous long-term ownership and placed into storage by a previous owner for approximately twenty years, ‘DPL 513V’ entered current ownership in 2015 with a recorded mileage of approximately 89,000 miles.

Recommissioned upon the vendor’s purchase, to the cost of some £5,200, the work completed included new front wings, front panel and rear valance, full repaint, stainless steel exhaust, renewal of many mechanical parts and new tyres.

Further benefiting from a brake overhaul in 2020 which included fitment of four-pot brakes, a renewed fuel system (with E10 fuel use in mind), and carburettors, along with an unleaded cylinder head. It’s accompanied by a half and a full tonneau cover along with a history file that includes some previous MOTs, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C.

1977 Volkswagen Type 2 (T2) Devon Eurovette

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000* Reg No: YTU 737S

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 2172135806 Currently enjoying its 73rd birthday, the much-loved Volkswagen Type 2 has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Vernon Kay and Jenson Button. The original ‘split-screen’ Type 2 was launched in 1949 and powered by a 1,131cc engine producing just 24bhp, but a range of units up to 2-litres was available by the late ‘70s.

The later model Type 2 was referred to as the ‘bay window’ due to the lack of windscreen split.

Manufactured in 1977, this British Devon Eurovette was based on a new VW commercial van and was a desirable and popular conversion for the Type 2 in the UK. There were different specifications and layouts with this example being a walk-through body, allowing access from the driver’s seat direct into the cabin plus the Devon camper accoutrements, including a Fellows gas grill and hob, elevating roof, stow-away table, ‘rock and roll’ bed/bench seat and cupboards. The base vehicle was a UK market right-hand-drive example, having been first registered on the 1st of August that year. Fitted with the later 1970cc four-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual gearbox, it is finished in Red with White and pleasingly retains the majority of its original charming period-style plaid cloth interior upholstery and fittings. Cockpit seats are the original Volkswagen basket weave vinyl in Brown.

In the ownership of just three families from new (equating to five keepers), ‘YTU 737S’ has been in current ownership for 10 years and has a recorded mileage of approximately 73,500 miles. Understood to have been Waxoyled from new, ‘YTU 737S’ benefitted from pop-top roof repairs, servicing, and some bodywork restoration in 2013, and subsequent full service in 2016. Most recently serviced in 2022, along with the fitment of a new battery, the Volkswagen is offered with a history file that contains a large collection of MOTs dating back to 1996, original sales literature, a selection of invoices and a current V5C document.

One of 65 LXV 65th anniversary editions made Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000* Reg No: M90 LXV

MOT: February 2023

Chassis No: SAJJHALS3AR698810 There were a number of limited editions of the venerable Defender during its lifetime, among the most desirable of which were the examples built in 2013, in celebration of Land Rover’s 65th birthday. Christened the LXV (65 in Roman numerals), the edition was limited to 65 vehicles, making it very rare from the outset. Each was based on the two-door Defender 90 hardtop model and powered by the company’s proven 120bhp 2.2-litre diesel driving through a six-speed manual gearbox.

Special exterior treatment that defined the LXV included Santorini Black paintwork teamed with contrasting Corris Grey roof grille and headlight surrounds, and 16-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels. The interior boasted leather trimmed seats with LXVembossed headrests and unique orange stitching for the seats, and centre storage compartment. A union flag decal and LXV logo on the rear completed the unique LXV package.

The example now being sold goes a stage further having been upgraded by Twisted Automotive and even features an LXV registration. The Twisted upgrades include full sound deadening, re-map, heated seats, Xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights and a replacement radio. Originally registered to the supplying dealership, ‘M90 LXV’ entered into its sole private family ownership at approximately a year old, remaining with them until being offered today (adding to two registered keepers) and is understood to have had just one driver throughout this time.

Said to have been ‘well maintained’ throughout the family’s ownership, the Land Rover has covered some 88,500 miles from new. Offered with service history records, previous MOT records, and a current V5C, this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of just 65 of the limited edition examples.

1972 Jensen Interceptor SP 1 of only 25 Reef Blue cars made

83

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: KAE 7L

Chassis No: 131-4916

MOT: April 2023

“If the Jensen SP can be summed up in one word, then that word unquestionably is “relentless”.

This big, beautiful car seems to flatten hills, ignore bends, smooth out bumps and just keeps pounding on and on” (Sports Car Road Tests, Volume 9, 1972) Rarer than the FF which preceded it as Jensen’s flagship (232 vs 320 cars built), the SP was further notable as the fastest and most potent 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 and 490lbft of torque 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. Visually distinguished by its blue badging and heavily louvred bonnet, most were specified with a vinyl roof covering. Never destined to be a long-lived model on the basis that Chrysler stopped making the ‘Six Pack’ motor due to ever stricter US emissions legislation, the SP was only in production from September 1971 until July 1973 but occupies a deservedly special place in Interceptor lore.

One of just twenty-five SPs to be finished in Reef Blue Metallic, chassis 131-4916 was supplied new

by Auto Scuderia Ltd of Bristol to J. Haskins. A letter on file from second keeper L. Moore to his successor B. Warr reveals that Mr Haskins found the Jensen ill-suited to his half-mile daily commute and so traded it into Harris Motors of Wells against a more soporific Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow during October 1974 at which time it was said to be ‘very low mileage and immaculate’. Tasked with recommissioning the SP following a period of dry storage, Anthony Thompson contacted marque guru Richard Calver in October 2002 for help and advice. Subsequently treated to inner sill repairs and new outer sills on both sides plus an overhaul of all three carburettors and polybushed front suspension etc, ‘KAE 7L’ was further improved after entering Mr Warr’s ownership during July 2008 including a repaint and rejuvenated brightwork. The current (fourth) registered keeper bought the SP from renowned marque specialist Cropredy Bridge for £71,000 five years ago with the purchase price encompassing some minor bodywork renovation, a thorough brake system overhaul and

84

upgrade (Fosseway Performance front discs) not to mention a full engine service and attention to the suspension, steering, fuel system, automatic transmission, electrics and air conditioning.

Given the low number of owners, period of immobility and condition of its original Black leather upholstery, the 54,600 miles shown by the odometer are highly credible. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, this decidedly rare and handsome SP is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document, extensive history file and fresh MOT certificate.

Estimate: £7,000 - £8,000* MOT: Exempt

Built from 1962 through to 1969, the Daimler 2.5 V8/V8 250 was the first car to be produced by the marque on the Jaguar platform, and the last Daimler to feature its own engine. As a derivative of the all-conquering MkII Jaguar although its fluted grille and more luxurious interior gave the car an air of exclusivity. Its name was drawn from its Edward Turner-designed engine - a lightweight, eight-cylinder 2,548cc V8 shared with the Dart. Production continued until the manufacture of all MkII derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17,620 of the Daimler version had been made, making it the best-selling car in Daimler’s history.

Finished in Green with this model’s pretty single-blade bumpers, this elegant right-hand drive V8 250 is fitted with a 3-speed automatic transmission. It possesses a wonderfully complementing sumptuous Red leather interior with a split front bench seat configuration and a wooden dash. It all feels very exclusive. For sunnier days of luxury, there is even a sliding full-length fabric sunroof.

This repatriated Daimler presents as a late example of the 250 V8 with the odometer displaying 96,500 recorded miles. These Daimler’s offer a smooth delivery of power from the V8 mated to the Borg-Warner automatic gearbox, burbling along in comfort. Currently French registered it is in the process of being NOVA registered.

1979 MG B Roadster

Reg No: TLS 283T

Chassis No: GHN5485024G

MOT: August 2022

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. The biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred in 1974 when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones, and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.

A superb recently restored MGB Roadster is presented in red and with the benefit of the cosmetic surgery that has seen the removal of the rubber bumpers in favour of the more desirable look of the chrome bumper models. With restoration work, new panels were utilised as well as a new roof and a leather interior. This example potentially represents good value as the car has already been subject to restoration, so a new owner can begin to enjoy it. The vendor describes the bodywork and paintwork as excellent and engine, electricals, transmission and interior trim as good. The Roadster has an MOT until August 2022 and currently displays 85,000 miles.

The Bentley Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were phased-in during the Spring of 1998 as replacements for derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne (Bentley) and Silver Spirit (Rolls-Royce). Bodies for the new cars were built at the Bentley factory in Crewe. The Arnage T was heralded as the most powerful road-going model ever produced by Bentley at its 2002 North American International Auto Show launch. The Arnage T is powered by the 6750cc twin-turbo Bentley V8 mated with a 5-speed ZF automatic gearbox. As with the Arnage R, there were twin turbochargers but tuned to develop 465 metric horsepower (342kW; 459bhp) and 875nm (645lbft).

The Arnage T was reputedly capable of 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and 170mph.

Built in 2002 and first UK registered in September that year, this Arnage T was supplied new by Broughton’s of Cheltenham. Finished in Peacock Blue complemented by a Cream leather hide interior, this example has covered 81,000 miles from new. It is offered with the V5C, Bentley book pack, handbooks and service book (with 11 entries), a collection of service invoices, old MOTs and with an indoor car cover. The MOT is valid until February 2023. With 5 former keepers, the current owner reports the engine warning light has been on since purchasing the Bentley.

First registered in March, 2001, the off-road credentials of this classic Defender TDi are heightened visually with a side-mounted snorkel. Headlights are of the LED type along with the other lights around the vehicle, offering greater visibility in of and from other road or off-road users. Other nods to its utilitarian design are a radiator grille muff for frost protection, rear lights fitted with protection grilles, have the benefit of grille protection and for traction on multiple surfaces, it wears 235/85 Good Year Wrangler tyres shod on smart 16-inch Black alloy wheels. As with other commercial Land Rovers, this model is from the Special Vehicles division and is without the side windows but does have four folding side-facing rear seats. Standard Grey cloth upholstery and the usual Defender utilitarian surfaces are present inside. Overall said to be in ‘good’ condition, the vendor describes the bodywork as ‘very good’ and the engine, paintwork, transmission and interior as ‘good’. Recently, this Defender has benefited from 5 new wheels and tyres. With 176,500 miles and just 4 former keepers, it is offered with a V5C. It is believed that the Defender will be in the possession of a new MOT certificate at the time of sale and ready to drive and have fun.

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000* MOT: June 2022

Launched in January 1969, the TR6 featured a very clever reworking of the TR4/5 bodyshell which had been in production since 1961. By combining a recessed rear panel (similar to that found on the Michelotti-penned Triumph 2000 and 1300 saloon models) with a new full-width, headlampembracing radiator grille, coachbuilders Karmann gave the TR6 a look that was bang up to date (but which cost Triumph very little). A total of 94,619 examples were produced, a mere 8,370 of which were sold on the home market. Produced until 1975 it was the last of the traditional TRs, the replacement TR7 being a very different breed of car.

This UK market TR6 is the desirable 150 bhp model originally registered on 2nd March 1972 which is understood to have been enjoyed by just four former keepers. Purchased by the previous vendor in restored condition from TRGB Ltd during 2001, it boasts Bosch fuel injection, upgraded radiator, Lumenition electronic ignition. The engine was overhauled and balanced by Power Units of Hatfield in 2014 at which time a new clutch was fitted. Finished in Harley Davidson Orange with a Black interior ‘JYN 260K’ is offered with numerous invoices (Rimmer Bros., TRGB etc,) assorted MOTs back to 1995, old insurance valuation certificates, current MOT to June 2022 and Swansea V5C.

MOT: July 2022

Introduced in May 1962, the monocoque MG B was a welcome progression from the body-onframe T-Series and MG A models that preceded it. The MkII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears. Other changes included a revised rear axle and a switch from dynamos to alternators. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced, a large proportion of which are still providing good service today.

Here we have an MGB GT presented in a distinctive and desirable Aqua Marine colour. An opportunity to own a very pretty and distinctive 1960s MGB GT, this car has recently been fully refurbished including a full colour change from White. Inside, the black seats have been trimmed in Black with Red piping. A wood and aluminium 3 spoke/3 hole sports steering wheel adds to the ‘60s period feel of the experience this car offers. A Sharp radio cassette player has been fitted at some point in its ownership. Smart Silver-painted wire wheels with knock-offs are typical of an MG B specification towards the end of the 1960s. Displaying a credible 98,500 miles included in the sale are photographs of the restoration, old invoices and MOT certificates, V5c and although exempt is offered with an MOT certificate into July 2022.

MOT: October 2022

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 all-around 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.

In the vendor’s hands since 2010, this right-hand drive 280SL is finished in two-tone Gold with a Brown upholstery and registers some 111,000 miles. Described as being in ‘very good’ condition as regards its paintwork, body, interior, engine, and automatic gearbox, the car has benefited from previous remedial work and comes complete with a hardtop and current MOT to October 2022. A multi-CD changer is also fitted.

Reg No: J952 LMW

Chassis No: S13164954

MOT: December 2022

Mitsuoka Motors is a small Japanese automobile company that builds modern Japanese cars to resemble classic designs. The Le Seyde was made in limited numbers in 1991, the first series of 500 sold in no time at all and so another few were built to order by 1996. Based on a Nissan Silvia S13 chassis that has been extravagantly re-bodied, the Le Seyde’s inspiration is taken from 1930s car design or perhaps the American made Zimmer Golden Spirit, another low production flourish of automotive design.

Today, if you wish to be seen in something different, and with just 500 of the initial series made, this car offers the distinctive styling resembling that of a movie character car. This example is powered by the Nissan C18DE 1.8-litre DOHC inline-four engine, which is rated at 131 hp and sent to the wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. Many parts and mechanicals are carried over from the Nissan Silvia S13 and the Brown interior is standard for that model. It displays c.110,248km (c.68,500 miles) with little mileage since imported in 2011. It’s an incredibly distinct car with its long rakish bonnet and chrome adornments. This Le Seyde offers the ownership of a piece of what was offered on the Japanese domestic market (JDM). This example comes with paperwork reflecting import, V5C, and an MOT up to December 2022.

Chassis No: TD14680 Although instantly recognisable as a T-series model courtesy of its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rearmounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. The first MG sports car to feature either independent double-wishbone front suspension or rack and pinion steering. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas.

This pretty MG TD has been subject to a longstanding and extensive restoration between 1991 and 2019 by its current owner, a retired restorer by trade, who has owned the car for some 26 years. Originally a US market car located in California and presented in Red with Black interior, ‘XVV 741’ is now presented in the pleasing combination of Ivory with Green contrasting interior and correctly matching Green grille; and offered in right-hand drive. Additional attention to detail can be noted with even the bulkhead tool cavity being trimmed in matching green leather and the radiator fan tips hand-painted.

Prior to its restoration, the TD had covered c.83,000 miles from new. With the odometer reset at the time of restoration, it now displays just 12 miles since returning to the road. A history folder documents the restoration in both photographs and in writing along with a large collection of invoices for parts used.

A workshop manual is included. This little British sports car is offered with a V5 and finally a Heritage Statement of Origin.

Chassis No: 114.022-22-000371 Introduced in 1968, Mercedes-Benz’s ‘New Generation’ W114/115 models (otherwise known as the /8 series) were intended to attract new buyers to the marque and hence broaden its customer base. Typically well-engineered, they featured all-round, independent coil-sprung suspension and four-wheel disc brakes together with revised manual and four speed automatic transmissions. Penned by the celebrated French designer Paul Bracq, the Coupe version of the W114 was unveiled in 1969. Of pillarless construction, it featured windows that could be fully lowered for optimum open air motoring and a notably longer bootlid than the related Saloon.

There was the choice of 2.5 (250) or 2.8-litre (280) straight-six engines coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission. Just 67,048 such Coupes were produced prior to the cessation of production in 1976, 42,379 of which had the smaller engine.

Finished in the handsome combination of Silver with Red upholstery, this comparatively rare right-hand drive example was supplied new in Scotland and has been resident there ever since. The accompanying stamped service book and general condition of the interior suggest that the 93,600 miles shown by the odometer represents the total covered from new.

Acquired by its last registered keeper during 1987 and laid-up the following year, the Mercedes-Benz was reportedly treated to a good quality, professional respray a decade or so ago and remains highly presentable. Although running and driving, the 250 CE would benefit from recommissioning prior to road use.

Increasingly sought after, this handsome pillarless Coupe is offered for sale with V5 Registration Document, service book and sundry paperwork.

The third-generation Corvette (C3) came to market in 1968 and was continually developed until the all-new C4 model of 1984. While the engine and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2, the interior and most striking of bodies were all new. The exterior design was a development of that penned by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of Bill Mitchell for the Mako Shark II concept car.

Manufactured in 1980, chassis number 1Z878AS422154 was supplied new to the United States of America, arriving on the shores of the United Kingdom in 2010. Fitted with the 5700cc small block 350cu V8 engine allied to the automatic transmission, the Corvette is finished in Red. Retained in initial UK ownership from 2010 until 2018, the Chevrolet has had just two keepers since arriving in Britain and has a recorded and credible mileage of just over 70,000 miles at the time of consignment. ‘KAW 91V’ is offered with an MOT certificate until April 2023 (with no advisories), a service manual and a current V5C document.

Chassis No: 149251

MOT: Exempt

An intrinsic part of the ‘specials’ scene since Pre-War days, the Austin Seven has a unique place in the history of the genre. Countless examples have given birth to numerous highly successful race and trials cars along with a plethora of home built road cars of, it has to be said, wildly differing capabilities and quality depending on the skills of the builder! Nevertheless, the mechanical simplicity and ruggedness of the original design have ensured generations of converted Sevens have lived on well beyond their anticipated life times.

This attractive aluminium bodied two seater special has been subject to a recent restoration which included repainting of its svelte bodywork in green. The flowing wings and inset head lamps provide an indication of the care and attention expended on its design, and would suggest a level of expenditure above the usual cycle wing examples. Offered with a history file complete with invoices and older photographs, YXS 961 is DVLA registered as a Tourer and a close inspection confirms it to be without doubt an intriguing example of the Special builder’s art.

Successor to the European 350SL and American 450SL models, the (R107) 380SL was introduced in March 1980. Utilising the same two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round coil-sprung independent suspension (wishbone front / semi-trailing arm rear), power-assisted recirculating ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes as its predecessors, the newcomer boasted an enlarged 3839cc SOHC V8 engine and improved four-speed automatic transmission. The vast majority of the 53,200 380SLs made were to left-hand drive specification.

Repatriated back to European shores and the UK this stateside example displays just 22,730 miles from new, so this is an opportunity to experience a low-mileage example. It certainly presents as low miles. Finished in Orient Red the complementing Nappa interior is stylish and very fresh and distinctive. Of course, the SL has the matching hardtop. Additionally, the specification included a passenger door mirror, automatic antenna, front folding armrest, climate control and Green heatinsulated glass. In 2018, comprehensive servicing was carried out by Jeff’s German Auto Repair, of Gainesville, Florida. This included: plugs; steering damper; updated timing chain; sprockets and tensioners; head gaskets; injectors serviced and new seals; resealed timing cover; new oil pan; filters; coolant pump and hoses; calipers replaced and the transmission serviced. In addition, a lot of time was spent resealing and cleaning the injection system. Offered with original bookpack, owner’s handbooks and service book, a V5C and a collection of invoices are presented with the car at the time of sale.

Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover’s stately P5 model range and the exBuick 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 engine resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B’s ‘gentlemen’s club’ interior made it a firm favourite with businessmen, politicians (Harold Wilson’s car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even HM The Queen who still owns her Arden Green Saloon.

Offered in its original shade of Silver Birch with contrasting Maroon leather upholstery, ‘TAN 452M’ is a home market example offered for sale showing just 77,599 miles on the odometer.

Recently subject to a full engine overhaul and replacement exhaust, this particular example comes accompanied with an impressive history file containing its original brown logbook, a number of original booklets including Rover service passport, a number of maintenance manuals, a large collection of previous invoices, a number of original P5B brochures and reading material, a Heritage Certificate and the V5C document which shows only 3 former keepers.

Following on from the ever popular Dauphine, Renault’s next project would be the R8. At that time, Renault was marketing Alfa Romeo cars and Alfa Romeo was building the Renault Ondine (an upmarket version of the Dauphine) and R4 under license in Italy. It would therefore be no surprise that the new R8 would have a shape surprisingly similar to Alfa Romeo’s abortive Tipo 103 – a front-drive small car that was shelved because it was building Renault’s cars instead.

Renault’s experience with rear engines ensured that it was remarkably quiet, refined and spacious.

The new model would soon develop a keen following and, in Gordini form, achieved considerable success in racing and rallying. Although such a success with the 8 and 10 enjoying a 14-year production life, survivors are increasingly rare to find in today’s market.

Imported to the UK in 2018 and presented in the appealing combination of Blue with contrasting Red cloth and vinyl interior, this Renault 8 is offered for sale with just c.77,000km on the odometer (47,845 miles).

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 V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque. Although limited to155mph, AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example has been clocked at 205mph! 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.

First registered on 03 March 2004 and presented in Teal Blue Metallic with contrasting Grey leather upholstery, ‘SP04 KVX’ benefits from an impressive factory specification including a premium sound system, front multi-contour heated seats, Parktronic system, panoramic glass folding roof, heated screen wash system and more. Offered for sale with 90,400 miles on the odometer, this particular example comes accompanied by its original bookpack containing service booklet stamped until 2017, with an additional service undertaken in June of 2020 with a Mercedes-Benz specialist.

Daimler-Benz has produced an SL (Sport Leicht) model since the mid-1950s, when the landmark 300SL and 190SL were unveiled. The second generation car (W113), was the much loved `Pagoda’ roofed design and the third, the much bigger and apparently everlasting R107 Series.

The fourth, the R129 Series, was launched at the 1989 Geneva Salon and was a beautifullyengineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. Some 213,089 examples were manufactured over the R129’s 12-year reign.

This 1991 500 SL automatic looks smart and colour coordinated. The Light Blue Metallic paintwork is complemented by Blue leather seats, carpets and dashboard finished in a darker Mid-Blue with a wood effect console. Appearing even more striking with clear indicator and repeater lenses the car also has front integral fog lights and very sporty AMG alloy wheels completing the impact. Both hardtops and soft-tops are present.

The T2 version of the Type 2 Volkswagen van was launched in 1968 to replace the shorter ‘Splitwindow’ T1 version. Visual changes to the T2 included the large, single-piece windscreen giving the ‘bay-window’ nickname.

Built to right-hand drive specification, chassis 2042101132 spent most of its life in Indonesia.

Acquired by the vendor with the intention of transforming it into a Camper Van, the T2 was the subject of much hard work before ill health stalled matters. Structural repairs are estimated to have cost £4,000 and encompassed the chassis / floorpan, all four wheelarches and replacement front / side panels. The engine and gearbox were deemed sound and the Volkswagen was last running during 2021. The brake system has been renovated, and the clutch and fuel tank replaced. The cabin was stripped and partially floored with cupboards being fabricated behind the front seats. A stainless-steel sink, Camping Chef hob and rock ‘n’ roll folding bedframe were sourced but have yet to be installed. The front seats look as if they would respond to a thorough cleaning and the odometer shows an unwarranted 96,185km (59,800 miles). A worthwhile project, this tempting T2 comes with a NOVA reference number, old Indonesian logbook and sundry paperwork including a Dating Certificate and bill from Chris Gilley Beetles of Stockport.

Updated for the final time in August 2011, the Land Rover Defender gained a new more efficient ZSD-422 2.2 litre turbodiesel engine which incorporated a diesel particulate filter and was Euro V emissions standards compliant. Otherwise, the Defender was palpably recognisable as a direct descendant of the very first 80-inch Series One Landie which had debuted some sixty-three years’ earlier. A motoring icon the world over, separate chassis Land Rovers have proven indefatigable workhorses in agricultural, commercial, military and civilian guises.

First registered on 19th August 2016 – almost seven months after the very last Defender had rolled off the production line – chassis 484056 has had just one former keeper and covered a mere 430 miles from new! Finished in White with Black upholstery, the 110 Pick-Up has been serviced no fewer than three times and is presented for sale with a fresh MOT certificate valid until April 2023.

Fitted with the preferred six-speed manual transmission and air-conditioning, ‘OX16 ERY’ has yet to be fully run-in. A unique opportunity.

PLEASE NOTE: VAT is payable on the hammer price achieved by this lot (as well as on the buyer’s premium).

1981 Rover SD1 3500 Vanden Plas

Reg No: Un-Reg

Chassis No: RRMWV8BA161984

MOT: Exempt

Launched in 1976 but conceived in the late 1960s, the Rover SD1 had an unusually long gestation period. The subject of a £95 million development programme, it duly won the 1977 European Car of the Year Award. Taking inspiration from Ferrari’s 250LM and 365GTB/4 Daytona models, stylist David Bache moulded the big Rover into a wonderfully sleek yet eminently practical five-door hatchback. Based around a monocoque bodyshell equipped with McPherson strut independent front suspension, a well-located ‘beam’ rear axle, high-geared Burmann power steering and a new five-speed LT77 manual gearbox (courtesy of the Triumph TR7 rally car), progressive development saw it powered by a range of four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines.

Manufactured in 1981, this SD1 was supplied new to the Netherlands in left-hand-drive configuration and registered as ‘GV-50-RY’. A Series 1.5 example with the desirable manual gearbox, the Vanden Plas specification example is finished in White with Chocolate cloth interior upholstery. Thought to have had only one owner from new while located in Holland, chassis number ‘RRMWV8BA161984’ has a recorded mileage of c.61,000 kilometers (which equates to approximately 38,000 miles) and is believed, but unwarranted, to be genuine. Imported into the United Kingdom, the Rover has remained un-registered in a large private collection of primarily British classics. Offered with the original Vanden Plas handbook (in Dutch) and Europe service book, and a Dutch insurance card for the car.

1937 Morris 10/4 Saloon

No Reserve* Reg No: CJH 913

1984 Volkswagen Beetle 1200

105

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Chassis No: S2TH79448

MOT: Exempt

Launched in August 1932, the new Morris ‘Ten’ could be had in either Saloon or Special Fixed Head Coupe guises (though, other body styles soon joined the model range). Another best seller for William Morris’s company, its appeal to 1930s motorists was much the same as it is for today’s enthusiasts. Reputedly capable of over 60mph, it came with four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes as standard. Comfortable but agile it provided affordable motoring with a minimum of compromise and plentiful charm.

Manufactured in 1936, this Morris was supplied new to the United Kingdom and first registered on the 18th of January the subsequent year. Fitted with the 1292cc four-cylinder side-valve engine allied to the four-speed manual transmission, the Morris is finished in two-tone Blue and Black paintwork. In long-term previous ownership from 1959 until 2011, ‘CJH 913’ spent from 1973 in storage, remaining there until the purchase by the previous keeper in 2011. Entering into current ownership in 2013, the restoration on the Morris started in 2016 with much of the required restoration work already completed. The vendor rates the engine and paintwork as ‘very good’ and the bodywork and gearbox as ‘good’ with the wiring and interior areas that still require restoration.

‘CJH 913’ is offered with receipts relating to the work completed already, a Green-style buff logbook, and a current V5C document.

Reg No: B162 CVP

Chassis No: WVWZZZ11ZFM001427

MOT: September 2022

The story of the Volkswagen Beetle 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.

Manufactured in 1984, this Beetle 1200 was supplied new to the United Kingdom in right-handdrive configuration. Fitted with the aforementioned 1200cc flat-four engine allied to the four-speed manual transmission, the Volkswagen is finished in White with complementary cheque interior upholstery. With a recorded mileage of just c.34,400 miles and has had just four former keepers from new. ‘B162 CVP’ is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until September 2022 and a current V5C document.

1980 MG B Roadster

106

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* Reg No: MMG 337W

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GVGEJ1AG12628 Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteenyear 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 leaf-sprung ‘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. The biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred in 1974 when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones, and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.

Manufactured in 1980 and supplied new to the United Kingdom, ‘MMG 337W’ was first registered on the 1st of August that year.

Fitted with the aforementioned 1798cc straight-four B-series engine with the desirable four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, the MG is finished in Black with complementary Connolly leather interior upholstery in Cream, along with a Red (recently renewed) hood, as well as the hood cover, tonneau cover and a luggage rack. A restored example, the MGB has a recorded mileage of c.81,800 miles at the time of consignment.

Benefitting from much improvement work over the years, the Roadster was notably fitted with a replacement Gold Seal engine unit in 1991; overhauled overdrive in 2001; and spring kit in 2012. Additional work includes electronic system recommissioning in 2012, with engine timing and tuning and servicing completed the subsequent year. Riding on wire wheels, shod with Dunlop tyres all-round, ‘MMG 337W’ is offered with a history file that includes copies of previous logbooks, MOT certificates dating back to 1990, a large collection of invoices, and a current V5C document.

1994 Jaguar XJ12 6.0 Sovereign

107

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: L161 FNB

MOT: February 2023

Chassis No: SAJJHALS3AR698810 Following numerous delays, the all-new XJ6 (or code name XJ40) was finally launched in October 1986 as a replacement for Jaguar’s ageing Series III cars. More evolutionary than revolutionary, it boasted all-round independent suspension, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes and generous deadening. However, it proved to be a credible alternative to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-series and was well received by the contemporary UK motoring press.

The newcomer was initially available with a choice of two variants of the straight-six AJ6 powerplant - the 2.9-litre SOHC unit (a derivative of Jaguar’s legendary V12) or the 3.6-litre DOHC engine. By 1989, Jaguar had been bought by Ford who changed the engine offerings to a 3.2-litre DOHC, a 4.0-litre DOHC one, or a 6.0-litre Jaguar V12. As with previous generations of the XJ6, the most opulent versions carried the Sovereign badge.

Supplied new via Mead of Bolton to Ingersoll Rand (Sales) Ltd, this rare and desirable 6.0-litre variant of the XJ40 was finished new in Morocco Red Pearl metallic paintwork with Magnolia leather interior upholstery, and pleasingly still presents in this colour combination today. In current ownership since 2016, ‘L161 FNB’ has covered just c.76,500 miles from new, and is fitted with the original Jaguar security system and radio; Jaguar overmats; 16-inch lattice alloys (refurbished); Jaguar brake dust protectors; air-conditioning; electric and heated seats; and tool kit.

Benefitting from much improvement while in the current ownership, the Sovereign has received overhauled airconditioning; replacement headlining; new heated front screen; drive belts; new rear brake discs and pads as well as front pads; overhauled alternator; new distributor; front engine mountings and other mountings; and an overhauled oil cooler pipe joint amongst much further improvement. ‘L161 FNB’ is offered with a history file which includes the original bookpack with service book (illustrating eleven entries) as well as a collection of invoices, current V5C, full tool kit, and two keys and working fobs.

1978 MG Midget 1500

108

Estimate: £5,000 - £7,000* Reg No: VAK 798S

Chassis No: GAN6206964G

109

No Reserve* MOT: November 2022

The need to comply with forthcoming US safety legislation saw MG revise the design of its Midget sportscar for the final time in 1974. Entering showrooms that October, the resultant MKIV version (as it was unofficially known) was immediately recognisable courtesy of its impact-absorbing ‘rubber bumpers’. Far better integrated than similar contrivances found on other American market cars, the weight penalty was more than offset by the adoption of a new 1500cc engine. Sourced from the Triumph Spitfire together with an all-synchromesh gearbox, it gave the Midget a notable boost in performance. Capable of over 100mph and known for its tidy handling, the MKIV was well received by the press and public alike.

Manufactured in 1978, this Midget 1500 was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 5th of June that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 1500cc straight-four engine allied to the four-speed manual transmission, the MG is finished in Red, with Black hood and scarce White hardtop, along with Black interior upholstery. In current registered ownership since 2016, the MG has a recorded mileage of just c.14,500 miles. Subject to much restoration work in 2016, ‘VAK 798S’ is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until November 2022 and a current V5C document.

1966 Rover P6 2000

Reg No: GAW 142D

Chassis No: 40080878D

MOT: Exempt

Introduced in 1963, the 2000 was the sixth and last of the P-Series Rovers which began with the pre-WW2 Twelve. Designed in-house by Spen King, David Bache and Gordon Bashford it bristled with innovation and was quite rightly the winner of the first-ever European Car of the Year Award.

Its monocoque shell featured bolt-on panels for ease of repair. Braking was through discs all-round and the steering by Marles worm and roller. The fully-independent suspension comprised a novel de Dion arrangement at the rear and an equally unique rocker system operating horizontally-mounted coil springs at the front. Indeed, the car was initially powered by a 1978cc OHC in-line four-cylinder unit, memorable for having its combustion chambers in the piston crowns rather than the cylinder head. Some 322,302 P6 Rovers of varying engine capacity were produced before the model was superseded by the SD1 in 1977.

Manufactured in 1966, chassis number 40080878D was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being first registered on the 1st of April that year. Fitted with the 1978cc straight-four engine allied to the three-speed automatic transmission, the Rover is finished in Grey with Cream interior upholstery.

Showing a recorded mileage of approximately 85,000 miles, ‘GAW 142D’ is accompanied by a current V5C document and is offered without reserve.

1983 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

110

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Reg No: WXI 2668

Chassis No: SCAZS0000DCH07664

Registration Number - BDP 1

111

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000* MOT: November 2022

Registration Number ‘BDP 1’, offered on a Retention Certificate.

The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. It was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorplan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent incomer was lower and longer than the Silver Shadow and featured a considerably larger glass area. Courtesy of its finely tuned Girling hydraulic self-levelling suspension, it was said to provide the best road-holding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy - it automatically withdrew into the safety of the radiator shell if dislodged from its standard position.

Manufactured in 1983, this Silver Spirit was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 1st of August that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 6750cc V8 engine allied to the three-speed automatic transmission, the Rolls-Royce is finished in the attractive colour combination of Blue over Silver with Blue Connolly leather interior upholstery and matching Blue Wilton carpets. In current registered ownership since 2018, the Spirit has benefitted from a replacement gearbox in 2021 and has been recently serviced. Having covered some 113,000 recorded miles, ‘WXI 2668’ is offered with a collection of invoices, a no advisory MOT certificate until November 2022, and a current V5C document.

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.

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.

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,

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

112

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).

16.1 Upon the sale of a Lot, the Buyer shall: 16.2 Unless he has already done so, complete a Bidder’s Registration Form as in Condition 12.5 above; 16.3 Pay to the Auctioneer the total amount due, at latest by midday on the day after the Sale, notwithstanding that where the Buyer wishes to export the Lot, an export licence may be required which must be obtained by the Buyer at his own cost; 16.4 Accept that any payments received by the Auctioneer from a Buyer may be applied by the Auctioneer towards any sums owing from that Buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatsoever, without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied.

17.1 Until the total amount due has been received by the Auctioneer: (a) title in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer but the risk shall;

12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides.

12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale.

(b) no Lot may be taken away by or on behalf of the Buyer.

17.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges and any other Expenses on any Lot not paid for and taken away from the by 1pm on the day following the day of the sale.

17.3 If the Lot remains under the vendor’s control for any reason, either at their property or a third-party one, then the Buyer must remove it within ten days of the sale. Failure to do so will result in the Lot being uplifted to secure storage at the Buyer’s expense.

18.1 If a Buyer fails either to pay for or to take away any Lot, the Auctioneer may without further notice to the Buyer, at its discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies, as may be relevant, in relation to any and all remedies for non-payment that the Auctioneer may choose to exercise. The Buyer will pay to the Auctioneer all legal and other costs borne by it on a full indemnity basis.

18.2 To charge interest at a rate not exceeding 3% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3 for the first two months. After that period of time to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.75% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3.

18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions.

18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed.

18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller.

18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot. 18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due.

18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose.

18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future.

any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot. GENERAL CONDITIONS 20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.

21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable.

22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers.

23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot. 24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation. The Buyer and the Seller consent to such data being kept and used for appropriate purposes, including informing the Buyer and the Seller of any offers or other matters of interest from time to time.

25. The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of the Auctioneer, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, shall require the prior written consent of the Auctioneer.

26. If any Condition or part of a condition in these Terms shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining Conditions will not thereby be affected.

27. These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English Law. Each of the Auctioneer, the Seller, the Buyer and any bidder hereby submits to non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not.

19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for
