Warranty

H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore, we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description. This is the reason for our very specific terms as to roadworthiness (Condition 19.1) and absence of warranties (Condition 12.1), which intending purchasers should read carefully.

Commission / Telephone Bids

We will make reasonable efforts to execute commission and telephone bids when instructed provided they are received by 5pm the day before the Sale. Lot(s) will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Where more than one commission bid is submitted at the same winning amount, the commission bid submitted to the Auctioneer first will be the winning bid. We reserve the right to request a refundable deposit of approximately 10% of the intended bid amount.

Payment

For immediate clearance of Lot(s) full payment must be made to H&H Classics Limited by means of Visa Debit or Credit Card, Maestro, MasterCard, Cash up to the GBP equivalent of €10,000 or Interbank Transfer by 12.00 noon the day following the sale.

Racing Cars & Documentation

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

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.

PLEASE NOTE: We have been advised that vehicles registered on, and imported from, the Isle of Man are not subject to Import Duty. Nor is a NOVA application required for their re-registration in the United Kingdom.

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.

1975 Rover 2200 TC No Reserve

Reg No: KPV 646P Chassis No: 49110335A MOT: March 2023

1968 MG B GT Estimate:

£9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: UDM 609G Chassis No: GHD41149442 MOT: Exempt

The Rover 2200 TC was part of the MkII offering of the Rover P6 design. A 4 door, rear wheel drive saloon, the 2200 TC was powered courtesy of a naturally aspirated 2.2 litre, 115bhp engine. The engine capacity was increased ten percent, to 2,205cc to increase torque and minimise the loss in reported power output on export models such as the USA. The Series II, or Mk II, was launched in 1970. All variants had new exterior fixtures such as a plastic front air intake (to replace the alloy version), new bonnet pressings (with V8 sculpting even for the 4-cylinder-engined cars) and new rear lights.

Offered with just 85,500 recorded and credible miles on the odometer, this P6 was first registered in August of 1975, just 18 months prior to the cessation of P6 production and the introduction of the Rover SD1. The car is offered in its original Rover Mexico Brown paint colour with both door and wing mounted mirrors, original hubcaps and a radiator adorned with period RAF, veteran driver, AA and RAC badges. The interior has worn the years comparatively well and is finished in a Cream leatherlook pleated vinyl, in decent condition. Offered with a collection of old MOT certificates, invoices, an owner’s instruction manual and the V5C. Additionally, a cloth interior from another car is included in the sale.

Introduced in May of 1962, the monocoque MG B was a welcome progression from the body-onframe T-Series and MG A models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings, reduced manufacturing costs, and notably tauter handling. Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative, with 2+2 seating, not being offered until October 1965. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, this unit was replaced by a fivebearing unit two years into production. The MkII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced.

Coming from long term previous ownership, this B GT is finished in striking Red paintwork. A 1968 example of the MG B, it presents itself in the iconic form, with chrome wire wheels, knock-off hubs, and chrome at every angle, from a time before US Federal laws took charge of the designer’s role! Complementing the look is a Black interior with Red piping to the seats and a 3 spoke sports steering wheel. In 2014 this B GT was fitted with new front brake calipers and has just been serviced. ‘UDM 609G’ is offered with a collection of old MOT certificates and a few invoices.

1991 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 S4

Desirable right-hand drive example

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: H830 BFM Chassis No: ZAR11500006012718 MOT: May 2023

1986 BMW 635CSi Coupe

Estimate: £10,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: C387 NMB Chassis No: WBAEC820408187055 MOT: September 2023

Launched at the 1966 Geneva Salon, the Alfa Spider is said to have been the last project with which `Pinin Farina’ was personally associated. The Series 4 was launched in 1990 with improved styling over the 1980s models. The redesign and manufacture were entrusted to Pininfarina and, while all examples left the factory in LHD form, many were imported to the UK and professionally converted to RHD.

This particular Alfa Romeo Spider was converted to right-hand drive by the supplying dealer when new and is finished in the rare and appealing combination of Metallic Silver with a contrasting Beige interior. Still retaining its original stickers and plaque under the bonnet and boot, ‘H830 BFM’ was purchased by the current owner in March this year. The vendor, a largely Rolls-Royce and Bentley collector has decided he would like to stick to bigger cars and with the recent purchase of another addition has decided it is time for this lovely Alfa to find a new home.

The MOT (valid until 31st May 2023), with no advisories, is unsurprising considering the previous longterm owner was a mechanic. Included with the vehicle is also a small collection of previous MOTs and invoices, as well as a reproduction workshop manual and the current V5C document which displays 7 former keepers.

Successor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0CS/ CSi high performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilized a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognizable thanks to its distinctive ‘shark nose’ frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW’s mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi’s 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque (outputs that were reputedly sufficient to propel it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph).

First registered on the 7th of May 1986, this original UK-specification right-hand drive BMW 635CSi is finished in a beautiful Polaris Silver with a stylish Dark Blue leather interior. Having been in the vendor’s ownership since October 2016 the car has recently been recommissioned after a few years in dry storage. Work was carried out on the engine and brake system along with the fitment of a custom-made exhaust system, invoices for which are kept on file. Having had only 8 previous keepers and with 126,500 recorded miles on the odometer, this car is said by the vendor to drive well and is considered by him to be in very good condition, especially after just having completed a substantial respray. Offered with a partial history file including invoices for recent works completed.

1954 Ford Zephyr Six

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* 5

Introduced in early 1951, Ford’s Consul (four-cylinder) and Zephyr (six-cylinder) were notable for their use of a monocoque bodyshell, MacPherson Strut independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. Able to seat up to six thanks to the provision of a front bench seat and column gearchange, the Ford duo were powered by a new generation of ‘oversquare’ engines. Notably rugged and surprisingly quick, the 2262cc OHV-engined Zephyr Six proved a highly effective rally car with Maurice Gatsonides winning the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally aboard one.

First issued with the Ipswich numberplate ‘CPV 258’ on 23rd July 1954, this particular example was seemingly still resident in the area when B.E. Sewell Ltd of neighbouring Kesgrave issued it with a MOT certificate on November 26th 1981 at an indicated 43,410 miles. Acquired by R. Marks Esq - an employee of the British Aircraft Corporation (later British Aerospace) – the following year, he is understood to have treated the Ford to an extensive restoration including the fitment of a reconditioned engine and respray. Thought to have taken until 1997 to complete, Frenchay Garage of Hanham, Bristol carried out the finishing touches at a cost of £1,057.27 (the next earliest MOT certificate on file was issued in June that year at an indicated 43,418 miles). Taken to numerous shows by its subsequent keeper winning various awards in the process, the Zephyr Six has recently been recommissioned by the vendor after two years’ dry storage. Starting readily and running smoothly during our recent photography session, the seller believes that ‘CPV 258’ has been fitted with a higher back axle ratio at some stage. Benefiting from a minor brake system overhaul and apparently still retaining its original Red upholstery, the Ford’s period appeal is accentuated by an external windscreen visor, pillar-mounted Grebel spotlight, headlight cowls and Mangels wire wheels. Nostalgia on wheels, this funky Zephyr MkI currently shows some 49,000 miles to its odometer and is offered for sale with V5 Registration Document and history file.

2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

Desirable manual gearbox example

Estimate: £15,000 - £17,000*

Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: “This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before completely converted after!”

Notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor, early 3.4-litre 996 cars are increasingly sought after because of their stronger dual-row IMS bearings and mechanical throttles. A ‘C16’ UK-supplied example, the 911 offered was supplied new via Stratstone Porsche of Wilmslow, Cheshire, being delivered new on the 19th of May 2000. Finished in the rare and appealing colour combination of Ocean Blue metallic paintwork, with complementary Graphite Grey leather interior upholstery and a Dark Blue soft-top, the Porsche is fitted with the 3387cc flat-six naturally aspirated engine allied to the desirable six-speed manual transmission. In current registered ownership since 2016, the Porsche has had just five former keepers and has covered just 72,600 miles from new at the time of consignment. Specified from new with Hi-Fi sound system, windshield green tint, 18-inch alloy wheels, leather dashboard and door inlays, stainless steel Carrera entry guards, soft-ruffled leather seats, and Porsche over carpets. Benefitting from the fitment of a new clutch in February 2016 by Porsche Leicester (at c.67,000 miles), more recently, the 911 has received new air-conditioning condensers and re-gassing, DANSK tailpipes and four new Pirelli tyres throughout 2020. Offered for sale with a history file including the original book pack presented in the Porsche wallet, which contains the owner’s manual, and stamped service book displaying twelve services (predominantly from Porsche main agents and specialists). Further included in the file are a collection of invoices; ten previous MOT certificates; sundry paperwork; an MOT certificate until June 2023, and a current V5C document.

1949 MG YA Saloon

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: UML 241 MOT:

Chassis No: Y2366

Exempt

Introduced in 1947, the Y-Type saloon was an important car for MG. Boasting an all-new welded box-section chassis (later adapted for use on the marque’s TD / TF sportscars) its sophisticated coil-andwishbone independent front suspension was the work of Sir Alec Issigonis and MG draughtsman Jack Daniels. Elegantly understated, the four-door saloon’s handsome lines were the work of Gerald Palmer. Benefiting from a well-appointed cabin, the YA remained in production until 1951 (by which time some 6,158 are thought to have been sold).

Manufactured in 1949, chassis number Y2366 was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being first registered on the 1st of February of that year. Reputedly supplied new to a director of University Motors Ltd. with the apt ‘UML’ registration number, the YA is finished in the attractive colour scheme of Red over Cream paintwork with complementary Red leather interior upholstery. Purchased by the vendor in December 2000 (twenty-two years ago) from an H&H auction at the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, ‘UML 241’ had shortly before received a comprehensive, body-off, bodywork and interior restoration by the previous keeper (a paint shop owner). Subsequently benefitting from extensive mechanical improvement by the retired engineer vendor, the YA received reconditioned front suspension and steering (with many new parts); an overhauled braking system; wiring rectification, and an overhaul of the built-in Jacking system.

Further improved and sensibly upgraded more recently with an electric fan (the original parts accompany the car), an adapted thermostat housing with a replaceable thermostat, LED lights to assist the dynamo, a brake servo, and removal of the voltage regulator/cut-out for a solid-state voltage regulator. The very wellpresented ‘UML 241’ is offered with a history file which includes a collection of invoices relating to the current ownership, photographs documenting the body restoration, a few previous MOT certificates and a current V5C. Chassis number Y2366 is rated as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendor. Please note; the hand controls will be removed prior to sale.

1951 Riley RMC 2.5 Litre

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000*

Reg No: KWK 661 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 612S7630

The RM Series cars were the last ‘proper’ Rileys - the swansong of the marque before it was subsumed into the mighty British Motor Corporation. The model range was manufactured in Coventry until 1949, when production moved to the MG factory at Abingdon. The RMC and RMD were limited edition Roadsters. While the latter was a conventional two-door Drophead Coupe, the RMC was a far more distinctive variant primarily designed for export to North America.

Ostensibly a two-door convertible version of the RMB, it featured a three-abreast front seat, cutaway doors, foldaway hood, large rear stowage area, fold flat windscreen and lower bonnet line. The 2.5-litre four-cylinder powerplant was also unusual in having twin push rod-operated camshafts placed high in the cylinder block. The unit’s output was circa 100bhp at 4,500 rpm - sufficient to accelerate the big Riley to 60mph in around 16.5 seconds and on to a genuine 100mph. Only 507 examples of the RMC are understood to have been produced between 1948 and 1951, making it a rare car by any standards.

A desirable final production year car, this Riley RMC is a wellknown example in the Riley Club and is offered for sale after being in current family ownership for the last 17 years, having been purchased from H&H Classics on 26 February 2005. Presented in the attractive combination of Cream over Black with the interior bench seat covered in Black leather featuring matching cream piping, ‘KWK 661’ has been self-maintained in its current ownership by its enthusiast owners. Included with the vehicle is a small collection of previous MOTs, small collection of previous invoices, some correspondence with a previous owner and the current V5C document which displays 3 former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Very Good’.

1982 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* 9

Reg No: HTU 286X MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB10704622001670

The Mercedes R107-series SL was launched in 1971 to replace the long-lived W113 ‘Pagoda’ SL that first appeared in 1963. Though dispensing with Mercedes’ usual model identification, it was based on the suspension of the W114 saloon and ran until 1989 with more than 237,000 examples built, being the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz except for the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-designed car was bigger, heavier, and softer-riding than its predecessor, but can still handle and won the plaudits from distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500SL made from 1980 had an allalloy fuel-injected V8 and was made for Europe only, with 60mph available in 7.4 secs the top speed was 140mph, faster even than the US, Japan, and Australian 560SL. Plenty of R107s (and SLCs) come to market but 500SLs are still a rarity, with only 11,812 built.

A desirable UK-supplied, right-hand-drive example, the 500 SL offered was manufactured in 1982, being first registered on the 7th of May that year. Finished in the Mercedes Sun Yellow paintwork with Chocolate leather interior upholstery, and a Dark Brown soft-top, the Mercedes is also accompanied by a body-coloured hardtop. Specified from new with cruise control, vehicle body protection from factory, heated rear window, tow-bar, and fire extinguisher, ‘HTU 286X’ is fitted with the 4973cc SOHC V8 engine allied to the four-speed automatic transmission. A low ownership example, the 500 SL has had just two former keepers and has a recorded mileage of 137,500 miles at the time of consignment. Accompanied for sale by a history file that contains the book pack including the owner’s manual and stamped service book (which illustrates nineteen stamps), a large collection of older invoices, a small selection of previous MOTs, and sundry paperwork.

High specification and manual transmission

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: LP51 NNJ MOT: October 2023

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z2S602134

Manufactured in 2001 (model year 2002), the ‘C16’ UK-supplied example offered was purchased new by the first keeper through H. R. Owen Porsche of Hatfield being delivered on the 14th of November 2001 in the rare colour combination of Meridian Silver Metallic paintwork with complementary Graphite Grey leather interior upholstery, the Porsche is fitted with the 3596cc flat-six engine allied to the desirable six-speed manual transmission.

In current registered ownership since 2018, the Porsche has had just three former keepers and has covered a modest 100,500 miles from new at the time of consignment. Featuring the ‘Large Arctic Silver Interior Package’ which comprised sports seats (with crest embossed), silver rear centre console, aluminium gear stick, and handbrake; the specification also includes 18-inch Carrera wheels with crested centres; cruise control; PCM; BOSE audio; stainless steel entrance panel; rear parking assistance; auto-dimming mirrors; rain sensor; Tracker; and CD Changer, with the specified options amounting to approximately £8,000.

Included in the sale is a large history file with the original book pack presented in the Porsche wallet containing the owner’s manual, maintenance book, and stamped service book which documents the early service history. The second keeper is understood to have owned an engineering company and self-serviced from 2009 to 2017, with a large selection of invoices for servicing items on file. Further documented in the file are the original order form and related documents; seventeen previous MOT certificates; a large collection of invoices; sundry paperwork; and a current V5C. Benefitting from much improvement from 2015 to 2018, the work completed comprised six coil packs and four Lambda sensors; a replacement clutch plate assembly; thrust bearing; replacement rear shock absorbers; new exhaust silencers; new water pump renewed rear coil springs and front springs; new Bilstein strut shock absorber, anti-roll bar drop link and front wheel bearings. Shod with premium Continental tyres all-round and offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until October 2023.

1968 MG C GT

Estimate: £13,500 - £16,000*

Reg No: WGU 58F Chassis No: GCD17019 MOT: Exempt

The car offered here, ‘BTE 700L’, is an original Triumph Stag registered on 1st July 1973 by the present one and only owner from new. Finished in striking Mimosa Yellow, it has the original Stag V8 engine with a manual gearbox and overdrive. This car has had mainly summer use and was used almost exclusively for Continental touring and formal meets with members of the European Stag clubs. It has also been shipped to the USA to meet up with American Stag Owners.

Having covered a warranted 93,500 miles, the Stag has been personally maintained by the owner from new and more recently with members of the Triumph Stag Register, of which the owner is chairman. The Triumph has also been ‘Waxoyled’ every few years to mitigate possible corrosive attacks. According to the vendor, this car is perfectly capable of high speed running, has the original (pattern) radiator fitted, and has never overheated. This is down to regular maintenance using OE quality parts. The cylinder head gaskets have been renewed once as a precaution after a coolant hose failure in 1975. The Stag has been in storage since the outset of Covid for the last 3 years. This car is supplied with the original purchase invoice and Heritage Certificate, original handbook, manuals and various invoices, as well as road test data and a collection of new and used spare parts.

Intended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MGC was introduced in autumn 1967. Based around the same two-door monocoque bodyshell as the humble MGB (albeit with a substantially altered engine bay and floor pan) externally, the only differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. The newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine and promised a 120mph top speed. Too readily confused with its four-cylinder sibling to be a sales success, the MGC was dropped in 1969 after just 4544 Roadsters and 4458 GTs had allegedly been made.

The vendor describes the car as “an honest and unmolested example”. Finished in Mineral Blue with Black hide upholstery, this MGC is a very handsome example of this incredibly sought after tourer. Displaying a very credible c.65,872 recorded miles, ‘WGU 58F’ has the optioned Borg Warner automatic transmission which has been the subject of a recent gearbox overhaul. ‘WGU 58F’ is offered with a handbook, old MOT certificates and the V5C.

When the Klaus Kapitza designed 8 Series was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989, it felt like a glimpse into the future with its angular styling. An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a standalone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. The 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/ Ci form and, when introduced in mid-1993, it was fitted with a 4 litre, V8 engine mated to either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. Producing a very healthy 282bhp, this version could achieve the 0-62mph sprint in an impressive 6.9 seconds; importantly with the naturally aspirated V8, acceleration was effortless and refined.

Finished in a very special Daytona Violet Metallic, with an attractively complementing Light Grey leather upholstered interior, the 840 Ci offered has been in its current ownership since 2003. With c.159,500 recorded miles displaying on the odometer, ‘R84 FOU’ has benefitted from a refurbishment of its 4-speed automatic transmission, a new windscreen 3,500 miles ago and in May of this year it had fresh oil and a filter and new front bushes. We are informed by the vendor the 840 has had just 3 private keepers, however, more are shown on the V5C due to previous company ownership. Offered with the original book pack, handbook, service book and a collection of invoices.

Just 1 private owner from new

1991 Lotus Elan SE Turbo Estimate:

£9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: J501 LKB Chassis No: SCC100ZT1MHD18489 MOT: March 2023

Lotus’ diminutive 1960s Elan quickly achieved iconic status and marked a high point in the company’s history. No doubt a degree of reflected glory was sought by applying the same moniker to the very different Peter Stevens-penned M100 model launched in 1989. A small, fibre-glass bodied two-seater sports car constructed over a rigid steel chassis, the newcomer certainly conformed to the general philosophy of Lotus’s late founder, Colin Chapman.

With just one private keeper from new and having covered 99,100 miles, the Lotus Elan M100 offered, was first registered and supplied new to the vendor in August of 1991 by Reynolds Sports Cars of Liverpool. ‘J501 LKB’ is only being sold due to the advancing years of the owner, a Club Lotus member since 1973, and this Elan was his fourth foray into Lotus ownership back in 1991. Each winter the car has been stored in the garage and only used for pleasure trips otherwise. In recent years the car has benefitted from a cambelt and water pump at c.97,000 miles, plugs and leads. The Elan is accompanied by the original older Blue V5 and the current V5C, as well as old MOT paperwork, many invoices from over the years and the original owner’s wallet with handbooks and service book showing 16 entries.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: LX03 JZU MOT: October 2023

Chassis No: WDB2304742F042701

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. 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. Manufactured in 2003, the example offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 10th of April that year. Smartly finished in the striking colour combination of Obsidian Black paintwork with matching Black leather interior upholstery, the Mercedes-Benz has resided in current registered ownership for fourteen years (since 2006) and has had just three former keepers and has covered a mere 60,750 miles from new (at the time of consignment).

Features of ‘LX03 JZU’ include 18-inch Turbine Wheels; panoramic glass roof; heated and ventilated seats with memory and pulse settings; keyless GO; Bi-Xenon lights; cruise control; premium sound; Nokia telephone; wind deflector and dual-zone climate control. Benefitting from much improvement while with the current registered keeper, notable (but far from all) work completed on the AMG has been a new supercharger belt, ABC pump, and central locking pump (in 2013); heater pumps and pipes, thermostat, alternator, and Aux belt and battery (in 2017); new front brake pads and discs (in 2018); and new fan belt (in 2019), with approximately £6,900 spent in 2017-2019 alone.

‘LX03 JZU’ is offered with a large history file that comprises twelve previous MOT certificates including a no advisory MOT until October 2023; a large collection of invoices; sundry paperwork; and a current V5C. Also included in the sale is the original book pack presented in the Mercedes-Benz wallet that includes the owner’s manual, assorted guides, and two stamped service books (documenting thirteen services), with a further service completed in October this year by Mercedes-Benz in Sheffield (at 60,735 miles). Shod with premium Pirelli tyres allround and offered with two keys.

2001 Mazda MX-5 1.8iS Conran

No Reserve

Reg No: Y322 XHH MOT: November 2023

Chassis No: JMZNB18P200153741

As the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in history, the MX-5 has been marketed globally, with production exceeding one million, as of early 2016. The Jasper Conran MX-5 was a UK special edition for the year 2000. Created in collaboration with the British fashion designer Jasper Conran, the limited edition cars were based on a standard 1.8iS with a limitedslip differential. There were two specifications available, 400 in Brilliant Black with a Black leather interior, and 100 painted in the unique Platinum Silver with a Red leather interior. Wilton carpets are featured throughout and high-quality Connolly leather for the seats, door panels, and tonneau cover. The interior also features several aluminium silver accents around the air vents, instruments, door handles, and centre console. The three-spoke Nardi steering wheel was given new Silver trim, and a Silver gearknob and handbrake handle were also added. The standard Mazda stereo was upgraded to a Sony CD MiniDisc unit and the interior also gets a numbered badge, with the exterior finished with unique design 15” BBS alloy wheels and an exhaust tailpipe trim.

Manufactured in 2001, the MX-5 offered was supplied new via JCT600 Mazda of Leeds, being registered new on the 17th of March that year. Finished in the Brilliant Black paintwork with the Black Connolly leather interior upholstery and hood, the Mazda is fitted with the 1840cc straight-four engine allied to the fivespeed manual transmission. In single lady ownership from new, the Jasper Conran has covered a mere 36,550 miles from new at the time of consignment. Accompanied for sale by a history file that contains the owner’s manual and stamped service book which illustrates two stamps, there are a further eight service invoices present in the history file. A collection of other invoices is also incorporated in the document file, along with a selection of previous MOTs, a current V5C document, and a no advisory MOT certificate until November 2023.

1934 Lanchester 15/18

Coupe

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: AXM 475 MOT: October 2023

Chassis No: 11107

The Lanchester Eighteen at first known as the 15/18 was announced at the beginning of October 1931. Quite unlike any previous Lanchester it was their first new car following BSA’s takeover of The Lanchester Motor Company Limited in January of 1931. A medium-sized car was a new departure for Lanchester. The intention was to extend the BSA group’s range of cars into a new price level by offering a car of moderate size and price providing economies by virtue of design and workmanship. This was the first medium-sized car to be offered with the Daimler fluid flywheel and Wilson half-automatically changing gearbox which was separately mounted. George Lanchester played a considerable part in development of this car in collaboration with L H Pomeroy. Their original concept had been a fairly small car but one still redolent of Lanchester luxury selling for about £850. In the end the standard saloon was priced at £565.

This delightful Coupe was first registered in 1934, the coachwork was completed by Martin Walter of Folkstone, who was also well known for providing coachwork services to Daimler and Vauxhall. ‘AXM 475’ is powered by a 2.5 litre straight six coupled via the Daimler fluid flywheel, to the Wilson preselect gearbox, which was completely rebuilt by Graham Whitehouse Autos in 2010 at a cost of £9,133. The vehicle is believed to have been restored between 2003 and 2007. For the last 5 years our vendor has had the vehicle MOT’d every year with the current certificate running until October of 2023. The current vendor has rated the body & paintwork, engine, transmission, trim and electrics at 3 out of 5 which we feel may be a bit harsh. The vehicle comes with a history file, V5C and various other documentation. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a delightful, usable and very pretty, pre-war Coupe.

1932 Riley Nine Gamecock

1 of just 52 thought to survive

Estimate: £26,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: GW 3228 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 6016255

Introduced in 1932, the Riley 9 Gamecock featured the marque’s latest Plus Ultra underslung chassis and jewel-like 1.1-litre fourcylinder engine, promising a 70mph-plus top speed. 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. Only in production for two years, just fifty-two (or so) 9 Gamecocks are known to have survived.

Manufactured in 1932, chassis 6016255 is understood to have been first registered to a vet in Colchester. Fitted with the 1.1-litre straight-four engine fed by twin Zenith carburettors and mated to the four-speed manual gearbox, the Riley is finished in Dark Green with Black arches and running boards, along with complementary Green leather interior upholstery and a Black hood. Interestingly, the Riley is understood to have been specified from new with Marshal headlamps with incorporated sidelights.

Understood to have been retained by the original owner and one subsequent family member until 1973, the Riley passed to its third owner and was placed in dry storage from 1973 until 1996. Restoration work began in 1996 with the Gamecock being stripped for renovation before the project stalled. Purchased by the previous owner in 2008, the Riley was subject to an eight-year comprehensive restoration which included a replacement ash frame, chassis refresh, an engine overhaul including refurbished carburettors, body repairs and repainting, re-cored radiator, shock absorbers refurbishment, new wiring loom, reupholstery and a new hood. Uprated with hydraulic brakes and an electric fan, ‘GW 3228’ had been used on the Scottish 500 and a tour of Ireland since completion.

While in current ownership, the Riley has been subject to around £1,300 worth of improvement which has included a stainless-steel exhaust, cooper fuel lines and a replacement fuel pump, brake fettling and servicing including new spark plugs. ‘GW 3228’ is offered with a history file that documents the restoration and work completed under the vendor’s ownership.

1992 Jaguar XJS V12 Coupe

39,000 miles from new

1930 Austin Seven ‘Ulster’ Evocation

Estimate: £11,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: SV 7447 Chassis No: C946 MOT: Exempt

Launched in 1975, the XJ-S could only cheat time for so long and in 1991 parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury grand tourer at a cost of £50 million. With its sheet metal incorporating some forty percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, taillights, bumpers and rear wings. While its cabin gained a new walnut trim fascia and improved sports seats. Powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or soporific V12 (5343cc) engine, the latter SOHC unit was quoted as developing some 280bhp and 306lbft of torque. Featuring smooth shifting automatic transmission as standard, the 5.3 litre XJS was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 150mph. Yet for all its performance capability, the Jaguar proved a refined and relaxing drive.

Supplied new by Harvey Hudson & Co Ltd of Woodford, ‘K792 NML’ is warranted to have covered some 39,000 miles from new. Serviced at 834, 1,437, 2,361, 3,434, 4,171, 5,984, 7,860, 9,633, 11,318, 18,598, 26,518 and 30,849 miles prior to being acquired by its current registered keeper in May 2003, the Jaguar’s accompanying service book carries two further stamps at 35,553 and 38,139 miles. Taken off the road approximately fourteen years ago, this appealing low mileage V12 XJS has recently been recommissioned and will be presented for sale with a fresh MOT certificate.

‘SV 7447’ is a replica of the Dougie Van Riet ‘Ulster’ and was built from the chassis up in South Africa (apparently with access to the Van Riet car,) the present ‘Seven Enthusiast’ (and commercial pilot) owner acquiring the car c.1990 in Cape Town whilst stationed in South Africa. Having formed an attachment to the car in South Africa he brought SV home with him on his return to the UK in 1998. The Austin 7 being auctioned was manufactured in 1930 by the Austin Motor Company at their Birmingham Longbridge plant. The chassis number declared, was allocated by the South African licensing authorities, and is recorded on the V5C. The V5C also correctly records body type as ‘Sports’. The ‘EA Sports’ body or ‘Ulster’ had no doors and was aluminium. With a specification that includes a 4 speed gearbox, banjo rear axle and bowed front axle, in addition to routine maintenance, recent work includes an engine overhaul by Ian Bancroft, incorporating a Phoenix crank, attention to the brakes and a steering overhaul. A large paperwork file includes a quantity of invoices, old MOTs, photos and old South African tax discs. In regular use until recently, the vendor advises a check over before use and also advises the rev counter is not working.

For many, the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque’s first monocoque design. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MkII was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing.

Manufactured in 1962, chassis number P207646BW was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 16th of February that year, being supplied new via Henlys of London according to the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate. Fitted from new with the 3781cc straight-six engine, it was initially allied to the automatic transmission, although at some stage of its life has since been converted to a manual transmission with overdrive. Reputedly having just one owner from new, the Jaguar is understood to have been taken off the road in 1991. The recorded mileage of 34,866 miles, is believed, but not warranted to be genuine. Subject to some front-end damage while residing in the barn that it has recently been unearthed from, this ‘barn find’ example is ripe for restoration. We are informed that the engine turns over by hand, and ‘857 XVS’ is offered for sale with a current V5C document, Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, and a previous MOT certificate. Please note; the registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

1994 Toyota MR2 2.0 GT No Reserve

Reg No: M757 AAF Chassis No: JT163SW2000094286 MOT: October 2023

The Toyota MR2 went through a redesign in 1989, with the new car being larger than its predecessor with a more luxurious cabin, larger engine sizes, sturdier transaxle, and a more durable suspension setup. More rounded and streamlined styling but the philosophy of lightness complemented by a gutsy 2.0-litre straight-four engine remained; the philosophy and the main key to its continued success.

A desirable UK-supplied example, a right-hand-drive example, ‘M757 AAF’ was manufactured in 1994 and supplied new via Toyota agents of the time, C. D. Bramall of Plymouth, being registered new on the 1st of August that year. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Sunburst Red metallic paintwork with Black interior upholstery, the Toyota is fitted with the 1998cc straight-four engine allied to the five-speed manual transmission. In ‘T-top’ guise, the MR2 has been in current registered ownership since 2016 and has had just four former keepers, covering a modest 93,650 miles from new at the time of consignment. Benefitting from a replacement timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and alternator in the last 5,000 miles, the MR2 is accompanied for sale by a history file that contains a large collection of previous invoices, a small selection of past MOTs, current V5C document, and the original book pack comprising the owner’s manual, sales literature, dealer and distributors guide, and stamped service book which illustrates nineteen stamps.

1963 Lancia Flaminia 3B

Coupe

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: LCL 994A MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 83202*4672

This particular Flaminia, originally manufactured in the colours it is presented in today, Bianco Saratoga with Pelle Nera interior, was first registered in Rome in 1963 and then moved to Sicily some 15 years later, where it remained in the long term ownership of the Chief of Police. The car was subsequently brought to the UK, where it was registered in January 2017. With it believed only 5 of these cars are registered in the UK, this presents a remarkable opportunity.

Boasting most of the factory optional extras including very rare electric windows and leather seats, ‘LCL 944A’ was purchased by its current owner in November 2018. Shortly after its purchase, the car was sent to Omicron Classico, where it received substantial work. In April 2019, the car was subject to replacement window, boot and door seals, work to the propshafts, front and rear anti-roll bar bushes replaced, brakes bled and further fettling at a cost of £5,265. In June, the gearbox was repaired, brakes overhauled, clutch replaced, starter motor overhauled at £5,119. In August and September, engine was removed and overhauled. At this time, the engine bay was painted. The total cost of this work was £10,210. Following this in February 2020, a high torque starter motor was fitted, the plugs were replaced, points set, carburettor adjusted and overhauled at a cost of £2,005. In July, the interior was then re-upholstered at a cost of £2,280. Overall, the total cost of works in current ownership with Omicron have exceeded £25,000.

‘LCL 944A’ comes accompanied with a Certificato Di Origine, which confirms the car is a ‘matching numbers’ example. Also included are a large collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates from current and previous ownership. An English Flaminia workshop manual is also included, as well as some literature, and finally the UK V5C document.

1997 Bentley Turbo RT

1 of only 252 examples produced

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Available from autumn 1997 onwards, the 1998 model-year RT borrowed various mechanical features from its Continental T sibling and could thus boast 400bhp and a maximum torque of 590 lb-ft. Visually distinguished by a mesh grille and mesh inserts to its colour-coded bumpers, the turbocharged Bentley benefitted from a galvanised zinc coating to the underside. Only 252 RTs were produced between 1997 and 1998.

Manufactured in 1997, the Turbo RT offered was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 17th of September that year and is thought to have been supplied new via Broughtons of Cheltenham. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Peacock Blue with Ivory leather interior upholstery, the Bentley was formerly the property of 11th Viscount Cobham (John William Leonard Lyttelton). Entering current family ownership (father and son, equating two keepers) some three and a half years ago, ‘R321 UDD’ has had just six former keepers and has covered 81,600 miles from new at the time of consignment.

Benefitting from much improvement before entering into current family ownership, the Bentley most recently received handbrake remediation work (in 2018), a new alternator belt, brake pumps re-sealing, rear brake discs and pads, and a new battery (in 2019). Further enhanced since entering the current residence, the RT has been provided head gaskets in 2020 by Prestige Services (costing over £6,000), wooden interior trim refurbished as required, and a new starter motor. ‘R321 UDD’ is offered with a history file that includes the owner’s handbook; a large selection of MOTs dating back to 2002; a very large collection of invoices (including ten servicing invoices from main agents and specialists); documentation relating to the Viscount Cobham’s ownership; and a current V5C. A new battery was fitted in August this year. Intended purchasers should note that there is currently an airbag light showing on the dashboard, and the central locking is temperamental on the key fob.

1969 Austin Mini 1000cc

Pickup Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000*

2 owners from new

Reg No: NNE 477H MOT: Exempt Chassis No: AAU71305238A

First registered on 12th November 1969, “NNE 477H” has had only 2 owners from new. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 1977 with circa 44,000 miles on the clock, during his possession and mainly throughout the 1980s the pickup was subject to extensive repairs and a re-paint. The vehicle has been dry stored for long periods with no miles covered, our vendor believes the mileage displayed of 52,727 to be genuine but can’t warrant it. This lovely Mini Commercial has just been treated to an oil & filter change, new water pump, electric fuel pump, battery, spark plugs, and is reported to run perfectly. The vehicle comes with some old MOT certificates and the V5C. Introduced in January 1961, the Mini pickup was based around the same stretched platform as its panel van sibling. Similarly exempt from sales tax as a commercial vehicle, it sported a pressed steel grille (some replaced with a grille to aid oil filter access), sliding windows and external door hinges throughout its twenty-one year production life. Initially powered by an 848cc four-cylinder, it could be specified with the more powerful 998cc engine from 1967 onwards (both A-series units being mated to the same four-speed manual transmission). Updated in late 1978 as the ‘Mini 95’ - its gross weight was 0.94 tons - the panel van was dropped from the range just four years later. Benefiting from a four-inch longer wheelbase, taller rear suspension turrets and under floor fuel tanks, the Pickup / Panel Van derivatives were arguably even more fun to drive than their saloon equivalents. Up until the late ‘70s the rear lights were notable for being Rover P4 units.

2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Registered on 25th October 2013 and wearing ‘GP02 HMP’, drawing reference from the JCW GP2 model and ‘Her Majesty’s Pleasure’ (or HM Prison) as per the “Cooper S featured in the movie The Italian Job (1969). This very well-presented Mini John Cooper Works GP2 edition is about as highly specified as you can get and the performance certainly matches the appearance. Capable of 0-60 in just 6.1 seconds and 150mph, it’s certainly no slouch.

The exterior looks striking in the special edition Thunder Grey Metallic paint and the high-specification interior boasts JCW Recaro seats. The vehicle graphics include the number ‘1760’ referencing the production number as part of the total global production volume of just 2,000 units. Having covered just circa 31,000 miles from new and 3 service stamps in the book this fine limited edition example has clearly been well looked after by its 3 former keepers. The vehicle comes with the service record, V5C and a recent MOT.

Commonly referred to as the GP2, the 2013 John Cooper Works GP is a limited-edition, track-oriented version of the regular John Cooper Works hatchback based loosely on the JCW Challenge race car. Production was limited to 2000 units worldwide. The engine is essentially identical to the N18 used in other 2013 John Cooper Works models, with a slight increase in compression accounting for the modest power gain. In keeping with its uncompromising roots, a 6-speed manual gearbox was the only transmission offered. The GP2 also features exclusive 17” wheels, high-performance tires designed in a special partnership with Kumho, adjustable coil-over suspension with revised geometry unique to the GP, 6-piston Brembo front calipers borrowed from the BMW 135i, a full valance tray and functional rear diffuser, a hatch-mounted spoiler with carbon fibre element, Red mirror caps, brake ducts, signature badging, a pair of special-edition Recaro sport seats (complete with side-impact airbags), and deletion of the rear seats to save weight.

1968 Riley Elf MkIII

No Reserve

Reg No: LMW 262F Chassis No: R/A2531083953A MOT: Exempt

First registered on the 1st of April 1968 to W T Hall, a Ford garage, this particular Elf is a rare automatic example and was presented in the ever-popular Cumberland Green with Snowberry white roof and matching Green leather interior, ‘LMW 262F’ was used for a number of years until 1987, when it was laid up in a barn on a farm and remained there until it was discovered and acquired by its previous owner in 2002. The car was registered in their name in 2004 and subsequently restored over a period of 6-7 years, being resprayed in 2010.

Now in current family ownership for some 8 years, this Elf was purchased by its current owner’s late husband in July 2014 and has been used sparingly since. Now showing an unwarranted but credible 32,284 miles at time of consignment, the car comes accompanied with an impressive history file for a genuine ‘barn find’, including an original driver’s handbook and supplement handbook, an original instruction manual envelope, a registration document from its first owner, an original WT Wall Ford tax disc holder, an original key and barrel, a collection of MOTs and invoices, some restoration photographs and the V5C, as well as a small number of spare parts. Please note; that although the release catch was actuating, we were unable to open the bonnet on viewing, so this may require some attention.

1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Camper Van

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: NAV 273F Chassis No: 238173598 MOT: Exempt

Imported from the USA in 2009, this 1968 VW Type 2 retains features of its Westfalia camper heritage. Westfalia was the designated Camper builder of the VW factory, they offered quality cabinets, which this Camper retains, and a functional interior when new. The 1968 ‘Early Bay Window’ provided greater visibility and practicality. This model is a classic icon and this example wears many attractive features that have given these campers a following as a vehicle, not just as a ‘camper’.

Features include: Thin band ‘period correct’ whitewall tyres; deluxe model ‘chrome’ VW badge on the front panel; aluminium rear window ‘jail bars’; reversing lights; side step; glovebox door; VW rubber cabin floor mats. Self-evidently the subject of much restoration work, the interior has also had work and an upholstery re-trim to a high standard, as can be seen from the Cream VW style ‘basket weave’ front seats with matching camper interior seats. There isn’t a ‘pop-top’ roof on this specification, however, no roof leaks to worry about and many like the lines of the un-cut steel roof, as VW intended. More modern compromises for the owner today, include a modern Pioneer in-car entertainment head-unit and inertia reel front seat belts. Accompanying, the Camper is a spreadsheet of previous servicing. The Camper is offered with a collection of invoices, old MOT certificates and a V5C.

1937 Chrysler Royal C16

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

The 1937 Royal Series C-16 was installed with the Chrysler Straight Six and took the entry-level position in the Chrysler hierarchy. Total production run of this Sedan model variation ran to 62,408 units and only a small number of these were right-hand drive versions for export to New Zealand and Australia. British versions were built at Kew, London. It was powered by a 93hp Straight 6-cylinder side valve, 3,780cc Straight 6 engine.

‘PFO 615’ is believed to be the only example of this model in the United Kingdom and has been in its current family ownership since 1995. This car was originally built in Detroit and exported to New Zealand where it remained until it was imported into the UK in 1995. A total production run of 1200 units of the Sedan model were produced and very few of those would have been right-hand drive. There were ten owners up to 1993 but it had been laid up for the last 20 years. It was then acquired by a family member at a mileage of 50,985 miles in 1993. The car was renovated in New Zealand over the next 2 years and then imported into England, where it had its first MOT at 51,034 miles and was registered here in November 1995. The car has remained with the family in Wimbledon and Northampton, and now has a loving home near Leek, Staffordshire, where, according to the vendor, “...it easily climbs Ladderedge Bank at 40mph”. Accompanying the Royal is an instruction book, workshop manual, a collection of old MOTs and its original New Zealand logbook.

1990 Land Rover 110 Defender TDI

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: H855 XCK Chassis No: SALLDHMF7HA473809 MOT: November 2023

Throughout the ‘90s, Defender 110 commenced the climb upmarket while remaining true to its roots. Defender production exceeded two million before the model was dropped in 2016.

Offered here is a Defender 110 2.5 Tdi that was first registered in December 1990 and has had just 5 former keepers. With 5 seats and additional side-facing double bench seats in the rear, this is a purposeful machine, with its full-length roof rack, protective grilles on the lights and a front bumper mounted tow ball, it is accompanied by an evidential history of mechanical refurbishment and overhaul in order to continue in use over the years. There are MOT certificates dating back 20 years as well as a file of invoices for work done, parts and servicing. A well-maintained vehicle over the years, such benefits include just shy of £4,500 worth of parts and labour spent in the pursuit of refurbishment by Hollywood 4x4 Ltd of Runcorn, Cheshire. Work included a new galvanised chassis from Marsland; rear shock mounts; rear brake cylinders; bulkhead repair; clutch kit and timing belt etc. Hollywood 4x4 also carried out a service at a full service and MOT at that time. Additional work over the years, has included a new starter motor in 2011, new propshaft in 2013, an alternator in 2016 and a rear exhaust box, tail-pipe and a service in 2017.

1969 MG C Roadster

Subtly uprated to ‘fast road’ specification

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000*

Reg No: KJH 10G MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GCN1-2328G

Intended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MG C was introduced in autumn of 1967 and powered by a 2912 cc OHV straight-six engine. A strong performer, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 10 seconds and 120mph. However, the newcomer’s striking resemblance to its smallerengined B sibling hampered sales. Thus, MG chose to axe the model in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs are understood to have been made.

First registered in Hertfordshire on May 12th 1969, ‘KJH 10G’ was acquired by its last registered keeper during December 1997 joining a stable which already included a Lynx D-Type and Brough Superior motorcycle. Extensively restored and upgraded over the next twelve years, the MG underwent various structural repairs as well as being treated to a new radiator, gear levermounted competition overdrive switch, stainless steel fuel tank, Quaife limited slip differential, rejuvenated suspension (Bilstein dampers, parabolic rear springs, sundry polyurethane bushes), uprated brakes and a set of Heuer clocks. The engine was overhauled too, gaining an alloy cylinder head, Kent camshaft, Maniflow stainless exhaust system, Dural sump, Downton air filter housing and machined flywheel etc. Enjoyed as a fast road car that was capable of light competition usage before being laid-up during 2018 due to its then owner’s ill health, the twoseater was acquired by the vendor via our October 2021 IWM Duxford auction. Having just seen a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190SL that his company had restored fetch a world record £220,000, he was keen to acquire a new project and settled on ‘KJH 10G’ because of its inherent soundness and enhanced mechanical specification. The seller estimates that he has spent circa £7,000 improving the MG’s appearance via a respray, re-trimmed seats and refurbished wire wheels. Summed-up as ‘a lovely thing’, this appealing C Roadster is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, tonneau cover, soft-top and history file.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 250 CE

No Reserve

Reg No: PSN 245G MOT: Exempt

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 allround, 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 boot lid than the related Saloon. There was the choice of 2.5 (250) or 2.8-litre (280) straight-six engines coupled to a fourspeed 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 decidedly rare right-hand drive example was supplied new in Scotland and has spent all bar the past six months north of the border. The accompanying paperwork and general condition of the interior suggest that the 93,519 miles shown by the odometer represents the total covered from new. Acquired by its last registered keeper during 1987, the MercedesBenz is thought to have been taken off the road five years later (the most recent MOT certificate on file was issued during 1992 at an indicated 93,488 miles). Reportedly treated to a good quality, professional respray at around the same time, the four-seater has been laid-up for the past three decades but still presents nicely. Although running and driving, the 250 CE will require work prior to road use. Now in his mid-seventies, the vendor has reluctantly decided that ‘PSN 245G’ represents one project too many in an already crowded garage. Increasingly sought after, this handsome pillarless Coupe is offered for sale with old-style V5 Registration Document, service book (containing entries up until 11th August 1981 at 73,821 miles) and sundry paperwork.

2004 BMW M3 Convertible

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Widely hailed as one of the best looking, best sounding and best handling BMW M3s yet made, the E46 generation debuted at the March 2000 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ulf Weidhase, the newcomer was a deft blend of aggression and subtlety. Available in Coupe or Convertible guises, the E46 M3 was powered by a 3.2 litre DOHC straight-six engine allied to Getrag six-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, the latter could be specified with either a conventional or electro-hydraulically actuated clutch. Dubbed ‘SMG-II’ when shorn of a third pedal, it proved to be the fastest shifting gearbox in the world. Credited with developing some 343bhp and 269lbft of torque, the compact four-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and 155mph (limited). As well as all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering, the nimble BMW boasted a sophisticated M Differential Lock and Traction Control. According to the M Registry, 13,052 Coupes and 7,234 Convertibles were built to RHD Euro-spec. Finished in the striking combination of Carbon Schwarz Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a Black soft-top, this particular ‘SMG-II’ example is understood to have been supplied new by BMW Chelsea and to have been first issued with the London number plate ‘LD54 OAC’ on 29th October 2004. Changing hands several times thereafter, the M3 was acquired by its most recent registered keeper on 24th February 2014. Main dealer maintained to begin with, more recent servicing has been carried out by specialists. An accompanying booklet contains stamps from Dorking ARC Ltd at 52,271, 62,461 and 70,126 miles. The odometer currently shows a warranted 81,000 miles and the vendor has promised to service and freshly MOT the Convertible before sale. Starting readily upon inspection and running well, ‘LD54 OAC’ rides on CSL-style alloy wheels and has an uprated stereo. The soft-top operates correctly and the M3 presents nicely overall. Offered with V5C Registration Document, book pack and sundry paperwork.

1955 Ford Consul Mk1

Highly original and just c.54,000 miles from new

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: VKK 66 MOT: November 2023

Chassis No: EOTA195095

Introduced at the 1950 Earls Court Motor Show, Ford’s Consul and Zephyr were notable for their use of a monocoque bodyshell, MacPherson Strut independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. Able to seat up to six thanks to the provision of a front bench seat and column gearchange, the Dagenham duo were powered by a new generation of ‘oversquare’ engines.

Allied to three-speed manual transmission, the Consul’s 1508cc OHV inline four endowed it with a top speed of 72mph. The vast majority of the 227,732 examples made between 1951 and 1956 were four-door saloons. However, would-be purchasers could also opt for Convertible or Estate variants built by Carbodies and Abbot respectively.

Hailing from the days before manufacturers worried about rust traps or proper anti-corrosion treatments, ‘tin worm’ has made surviving Consul Mk1s a seriously rare sight on UK roads. We are open to being proved wrong, but we doubt if any of those left have led as charmed a life or survived as well as ‘VKK 66’. Supplied new to Mrs Betty Goodwin, she used the Ford sparingly prior to giving up driving on 24th September 1997 at 42,968 miles. Bequeathed to the local garage mechanic who maintained it, the four-door saloon has changed hands just twice more. The vendor is happy to warrant the 54,000 miles recorded on the odometer as representing the total covered from new because of (a) Mrs Goodwin’s accompanying handwritten maintenance log kept from 1961-1997, (b) old MOT certificates on file dating back to 1985 and (c) the car’s remarkable state of preservation. Treated to a new clutch, exhaust, ignition system and carpets over the last seven years, the Ford has also benefited from a brake system overhaul, refurbished steering box, sundry new suspension components and fresh front / rear windscreen rubbers. Worthy of close inspection, ‘VKK 66’ would grace any museum or marque collection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and fresh MOT.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge

Subject to a £150,000 build and producing some 750hp!

Estimate: £38,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: BUU 37H Chassis No: CP24237 MOT:

Exempt

The original much-vaunted series of GTOs reigned from 1964 to 1974 and were classic muscle cars of the period. Forced to adhere to the US manufacturers’ voluntary ban on factory-sponsored racing, GM had turned its attention to optimising the performance of its road cars, in order to maintain the interest of the young American enthusiast. The GTO was essentially the brainchild of three men - engine specialist Russell Gee, chassis engineer Bill Collins, and chief engineer John DeLorean; who later achieved fame for the car bearing his name and cheating the British taxpayer of millions of pounds. The GTO was DeLorean’s clever idea, but one strongly resented by Ferrari enthusiasts. Originally conceived as a bare-bones, entry-level performance car, with the aim to counter the Plymouth Road Runner, the GTO Judge evolved into a top-of-the-line model for the GTO series and was available in both coupe and convertible body styles. In today’s market, the GTO Judge is now one of the most sought-after GTOs ever produced.

Manufactured in 1969, the GTO Judge offered has had somewhat an international existence, arriving in the United Kingdom very shortly after manufacture, and is thought to have resided in France at some stage since, reputedly while in the ownership of Argentinian footballer Javier Pastore during his time at Paris Saint-Germain F.C. Finished in the signature colour combination of Orange with Black leather interior upholstery, the Pontiac was the beneficiary of an extensive restoration and upgrade build in c.2000 with the cost understood to be somewhere in the region of £150,000 and producing a Judge with a massive specification and yielding around 750 horsepower.

The engine of choice was a Lamude Racing 455ci V8 with forged pistons, roller COMP cam, Edelbrock Performer aluminium cylinder heads, Vortech supercharger, Holley dominator ECU, bespoke wiring loom, Edelbrock manifold fuel rails, Powertec starter motor, and an uprated regulator. The engine specification goes on with an uprated alternator, Accusump oiling system with electronic control, MSD ignition, distributor, 10mm leads, and with built-in full data logging. A Pro Alloy fuel tank with collector, Aeromotive fuel pump and filters and Aeroquip fuel lines throughout provides the fuelling with a Pro Alloy radiator, intercooler, and pipework cooling the V8.

Power is transmitted to the wheels through a Jerico five-speed straight cut dog gearbox and McLeod twin-plate clutch. Underneath, a Mark Williams nine-inch fabricated axle, locking differential, StrongArms front suspension, Hotchkis rear sport suspension (adjustable), and Halo adjustable dampers with Eibach springs all round control the ride and Baer/Alcon discs and calipers all round, allow the 750hp GTO the stopping power required.

The interior has been upgraded with diamond stitched leather upholstery and GTO embossing seats, Autometer gauges, a Hurst shifter, a hydraulic handbrake, and an adjustable AP Racing pedal box. The shell was provided with a full body-off restoration with bare metal re-painting and the external appearance is completed with 20-inch forged American racing wheels with Michelin Pilot tyres and an uprated exhaust system.

Recently receiving a gearbox overhaul and clutch inspection in preparation for sale, as well as servicing and valve lash checked, the Pontiac is now offered to the market as an exciting opportunity, that will undoubtedly get the blood pumping, and that is certainly not for the faint hearted! The 750hp muscle car is offered with a large history file which includes a vast quantity of invoices, previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C document.

1973 Alpine Renault (FASA) A110

Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000*

Reg No: SPD 576L Chassis No: BA0356 MOT: November 2023

Unveiled at the 1962 Paris Salon, the Alpine A110 proved more than a match for many contemporary sportscars thanks to its remarkably low kerb weight, superb traction and excellent handling. A rear-engined, rear-wheel drive design, the newcomer featured rack and pinion steering, all-round independent suspension and fourwheel disc brakes. Styled by Giovanni Michelotti, its fibreglass bodywork was bonded to a rigid steel backbone chassis resulting in a notably strong structure. Able to make the most of its humble Renault drivetrain, even the initial 1-litre variant was reputedly capable of 120mph. Progressively evolved over the course of its fifteen-year production life, the A110 distinguished itself in international competition. Winner of the 1968 Coupe des Alpes and 1971 Monte Carlo Rally, the sleek Berlinette claimed the World Rally Championship two years later. Alpine licensed the A110 to companies in Mexico, Bulgaria and Spain. However, it was only the cars built by FASA of Valladollid which conformed to the same specification as their French counterparts.

Thought to be one of just 908 Alpine A110 1300 models to leave the FASA-Renault works, chassis BA0356 was imported to the UK in 1985 by its previous keeper who became a founder member of Club Alpine Renault UK. Entrusted to renowned marque specialist Mike Hayton five years later for an extensive, chassis up restoration, the Berlinette benefits from an uprated Renault 5 Gordini engine which was overhauled by Alpine engine guru Salv Sacco complete with a four-branch exhaust manifold, baffled sump and twin Weber 40 carburettors etc. The Mod Plastia-style bucket seats were retrimmed in two-tone leather as were the door cards. The headlining and carpets were renewed too. Riding on Works-style Gotti 6-in split-rim alloys, ‘SPD 576L’ has been significantly enhanced since entering the current ownership during 2002. Thus, it now boasts Spax adjustable shock-absorbers, lowered and stiffened coil springs (the original coil springs have been retained and can quickly be refitted), polyurethane bushed front wishbones, ball-joints repositioned on lower front wishbones to increase front negative camber, Nardi steering wheel trimmed in leather and mounted on quick-release hub, rose-jointed gear change linkage and stainless-steel reverse gear lock-out gate (the latter another Works-style modification). The steering rack has been uprated and a rear roll cage installed together with full harness seat belts. Displayed at the NEC Classic Car Show on numerous occasions and used for touring, the past two decades have also seen the Alpine A110 contest fifty-one hillclimbs and sprints being driven to and from every event (and occasionally winning its class). In 2020 the engine was refreshed and uprated by marque specialist Bob Gibson with parts and technical input from Salv Sacco. Enlarged to 1420cc, the four-cylinder unit is estimated to be developing circa 130bhp courtesy of forged high-compression pistons, forged con-rods, 43mm race spec inlet valves, race spec exhaust valves with new guides and double valve springs. The cylinder head was ported and gas flowed by an Ilmor Engineering specialist to suit the new valves and the camshaft reprofiled. A new Facet electric fuel pump and regulator were installed. The opportunity was taken to fit an upgraded 4-speed gearbox at the same time (the original part is included in the sale) with specialist Steve Swan providing larger and stronger internals, stronger universal joints and Quaife ATB differential. Starting readily upon inspection and idling smoothly, ‘SPD 576L’ is understood to be a good deal more civilised to drive than its specification might suggest. Boasting a power to weight ratio that would not disgrace a Lotus Elise, this gorgeous and well-sorted Berlinette is offered for sale with an extensive history file (restoration photos and service / work record), MOT certificate valid until November 2023 and its original front / rear fibreglass undertrays.

1922 Morgan Runabout De Luxe

Very rare, MAG-engined example and beautifully restored

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: TB 8032 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1083

Unveiled in 1909, the Morgan Runabout was based around a lightweight tubular steel chassis equipped with independent ‘sliding pillar’ front suspension and a single, chain-driven rear wheel. Renowned for its low centre of gravity and superlative roadholding, the newcomer could be had in two-seater guise from 1911 onwards. Current for twenty years (1911-1931), the De Luxe model was more comfortable than its siblings thanks to the provision of a longer wheelbase and passenger door! Available with a variety of JAP, Blackburne, Anzani and MAG engines, the latter featured OISE valvegear. An expensive choice, the Swiss-made V-Twins were renowned for their smoothness and power. The earliest paperwork on file for this delightful Morgan is a continuation buff logbook that was issued on 14th January 1925 by Bolton Council to Arnold Knowles Catterall Esq. A local haulage contractor, he may or may not have been the first owner. Interestingly, the only other name to appear in the buff logbook is that of the vendor (though, doubtless there were other keepers in between times). Entering the current ownership during the early 1980s, the Runabout was essentially complete but scruffy. Spending six months or so abroad on business every year, it was not until 2007 that the seller commissioned renowned Three-Wheeler specialist Bob Barlow to restore ‘TB 8032’ to its former glory. The work took three years to complete, and also included the help of another Three-Wheeler specialist, Bob Angell, when it came to overhauling the rare and potent 1100cc MAG OISE V-Twin engine. Some twelve years later and the quality of the refurbishment speaks for itself (as do the accompanying photos and invoices which chronicle it). The Morgan remains a jewel of a car. Kept garaged and not run of late, the Runabout turned over on inspection with plenty of compression. Thought to be one of just twelve surviving De Luxe models, ‘TB 8032’ would grace any collection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, period MAG engine instruction booklet and history file.

2006 Jaguar XKR 4.2-S

Only c.29,500 miles from new

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: FP06 JXD MOT: February 2023

Chassis No: SAJAC41R463A48094

Limited edition models of the X100 series started in the year 2000 with Silverstone editions. The final for the European market was the 4.2-S, being unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2005. Instantly recognisable by the revised white Jaguar badge, other distinguishing features included exclusive exterior colours. New unique 20-inch split-rim BBS Perseus performance wheels plus cross-drilled Brembo brake discs, red wheel badges and red brake callipers were also notable features. Firmer springs, dampers and anti-roll bars with improved steering direction and lowered by 10mm improved the XKRs handling further too. With a limited production run of just 200 cars, these run-out edition X100s are good news both to drive and in terms of investment potential.

Manufactured in the final year of X100 production, 2006, this XKR 4.2-S was supplied new via Stratstone Jaguar Derby on the 26th of June that year. Finished in the limited-edition colour scheme of Frost Blue Metallic with Ivory leather interior upholstery, it is fitted with the 4.2-litre V8 engine mated to the ZF automatic gearbox. ‘FP06 JXD’ has covered just c.29,500 miles from new and has been in current ownership since 2019 with six former keepers. Specified from new with the S-pack features as well as additional extras including adaptive cruise control, bi-xenon and automatic headlights, rear parking aid sensors, and Bluetooth phone connectivity.

Benefitting from a new battery in 2019, the XKR 4.2-S has also been provided with new front brake pads approximately 1,500 miles ago. Presented today with the original book pack containing the stamped service book which displays nine entries, predominantly from Jaguar main dealers Lancaster Sidcup, W. E. Sturgess and Harwoods Ltd, along with one further entry from a Jaguar specialist. The history file further includes a collection of invoices and vehicle check documents, a large number of previous MOT certificates, a current V5C, and the aforementioned book pack, ‘FP06 JXD’ is accompanied by an MOT certificate until February 2023. Rated as ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendor.

Doctor’s Coupe

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: 7321 PP MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 2543

Orchestrated by the Paris-based motoring journalist W.F. Bradley, a meeting between Frederick William Berwick and the Sizaire Freres (Maurice and George) resulted in the two parties embarking upon a joint venture to become luxury car manufacturers. Appearing at the Paris Salon and London Motor Show during 1913, the first Sizaire-Berwick was a 20hp, fourcylinder design notable for its build quality and attention to detail. Sporting a patrician radiator grille that drew Rolls-Royce’s ire, the newcomer was built-up as a rolling chassis in Courbevoie before being sent to F.W. Berwick & Co of Highgate, London for bodying. Unsurprisingly, production was limited to about five cars per week and then halted by World War One during which Berwick acquired new premises in Park Royal and diversified into aircraft production. The advent of peace saw production centralised at Park Royal and a new 25/50 4½ Litre model released which was hailed as a credible rival to Vauxhall’s 30/98 and (later) Bentley’s 3 Litre. Entering receivership during October 1920 after some 200 cars had been completed, Sizaire-Berwick received a major boost nearly two years later when Herbert Austin and Harvey Du Cros joined the board. Keen to capitalise on the Anglo-French concern’s prestige, Austin added 13/26 and 23/46 models to the line-up which were closely derived from his established 12hp and 20hp designs. These Austin-inspired Sizaire-Berwicks were fitted with better quality coachwork than their mass production siblings but failed to sell in any quantity. Thus, the Park Royal Works shut its doors during 1924.

Thought but not guaranteed to be the sole surviving SizaireBerwick 23/46, ‘7321 PP’ was returned to the road during the mid-1970s by Patrick Saunders Esq of Chesham. Selfevidently the subject of past restoration work, the Doctor’s Coupe entered the current (now sadly deceased) ownership in 2001. Dry stored for many years, this fascinating Vintage car is now in need of thorough recommissioning but appears to be substantially complete. Offered for sale with buff logbook and V5C Registration Document.

1976 Lotus Elite

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: NCL 743P MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 76030100C

Announced in May 1974, the Type 75 Elite was part of a determined push upmarket by Lotus. The world’s most expensive fourcylinder car during its eight-year production run (1974-1982), the 2+2-seater was also notable for being among the last Lotus road cars to receive significant design input from marque founder, Colin Chapman. Penned by Oliver Winterbottom, the Elite’s sleek fibreglass bodywork (0.30cd) sat atop a steel backbone chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Powered by a 1973cc DOHC engine allied to manual or automatic transmission, the Type 75 weighed little more than 1,000kg and was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.1 seconds and 125mph. Available in 501, 502, 503 and 504 trims, some 2,535 were made.

Although Mario Andretti had driven Lotus F1 cars in 1968 and 1969, it was not until 1976 that he became a full-time member of the famous equipe. Never one to miss a trick, either on or off the track, Chapman ensured that his superstar drivers were seen behind the wheel of Lotus products whenever possible. Gifted to Mario Andretti during 1976, the same season that saw him score his maiden F1 victory and two years before he became F1 World Champion, chassis 76030100C was finished in Red with Cream leather. Acquired by its last registered keeper on September 1st 1984 and showing an unwarranted 87,178km to its odometer, the left-hand drive Lotus last passed a MOT test on October 10th 2013. Thought to represent an ideal candidate for straightforward winter recommissioning, ‘NCL 734P’ has reputedly seen much expenditure in the past including a replacement chassis. In more recent times, the Lotus is said to have received a “small service with new battery”. However, the vendor feels “the car would now benefit from being taken to the next level, with some attention to the brakes and a new clutch”. Sensibly guided and offered with confirmation of its history by Andy Graham of Group Lotus - surely an opportunity not to be missed!

1965 MG Midget ‘1500’

No Reserve

Reg No: YOD 55 Chassis No: GAN3/34102 MOT: Exempt

The Jaguar XJ (X350) from 2003–2009, was the third generation of the Jaguar XJ saloon. The X350 was available with a six-speed automatic transmission and a range of petrol and diesel engines. The X350 was noted for its advanced electrical systems, self-levelling adaptive air suspension and full aluminium unibody chassis and bodywork, among the first for a mass-produced automobile.

With just 3 owners from new and displaying a mileage of just 29,650, this XJ6 has an extensive service history and was originally supplied by Appleyard Jaguar in Bradford who carried out the first service and PDI. There are 8 stamps in the book and many invoices & receipts. Royles Jaguar carried out the next 3 services and independent garages and specialists carried out the next 3.

Due to the 2nd owner’s advancing years ‘HF04 WGW’ was unused for the last 3-4 years. It was acquired by the current owner in January this year and has had a full recommissioning. This has included a new battery, some suspension components, spare tyre, replacing the air suspension, compressor and rear ABS sensors, servicing the auto transmission and engine oil change with the majority of work being carried out by a Jaguar specialist. Offered in the desirable colour combination of Ultraviolet with Cream leather, two keys, V5C and the full book pack.

By the 1960s, the MG Car Company had long since been absorbed into the giant British Motor Corporation (BMC). In an effort to fully capitalise on the many respected names in its care, the company embarked upon a programme of ‘badge engineering’, and the new MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes.

A draftsman and engineer by profession, the vendor reportedly spent two years reworking ‘YOD 55’ into his vision of an improved MG Midget. Completed a decade or so ago, work saw the bodyshell completely stripped and repaired as necessary with the wheelarches being subtly flared to accommodate wider MG B wire wheels. A Triumph 1500 engine was installed together with a MG B four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox and Riley 1.5 back axle. The suspension and braking systems were uprated and niceties such as an alternator and oil cooler added. Finished in Pale Green (a Rover P5 colour) matched to Mid Green interior trim, ‘YOD 55’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. More comfortable MG B seats have been cleverly integrated so as no to foul the hood mechanism and the two-seater also has the benefit of a tonneau cover. Accompanying parts receipts are said to total over £7,000 and make no allowance for all the hours that the seller put into the project or the cost of the respray and upholstery work etc.

First registered on 14 December 1953, ‘OOF 844’ is offered for sale having been in current ownership for the last 23 years. Purchased by the current vendor in 1999, ‘OOF 844’ has received regular mechanical maintenance from a local specialist over its current ownership, to the tune of some £7500. The car has received an MOT nearly every with the most recent expiring July 2022 and comes accompanied with a now extensive history file with invoices and receipts totalling some £11,000 and dating back as far as 1988. Also included is a large collection of MOT certificates dating back as far as 1971 and an original continuation book, period magazine cut-outs from when the car was new, an original sales brochure, original workshop/owner’s manual and the current V5C document. ‘OOF 844’ has been subject to a compression test, points cleaned and adjusted, as well as replacement spark plugs, HT leads and condenser over the course of 2022. Unfortunately, whilst the car does run, it has lost drive and so the clutch or gearbox will require attention. Now offered for sale as the vendor feels it is time for the car to find a new home, this now presents a fantastic ‘winter project’ opportunity for any enthusiast.

The Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Powered by a 2498cc OHV straight-six engine, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed.

Chassis number CC/84632-U was manufactured in 1972 and is understood to have been supplied new to the United States of America. Fitted with the 2498cc straight-six engine fed by carburettors, the TR6 has the four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Finished in Red with complementary Black vinyl interior upholstery and a Black hood, the Triumph was repatriated to the United Kingdom (from Texas) in 1988. Subject to a comprehensive restoration shortly after its return to the UK, to a high standard, the restoration included a conversion to right-hand-drive.

Covering a mere 7,000 miles since the completion of the restoration, bringing the total recorded mileage to 74,543 miles, ‘FWW 238L’ has benefitted from further improvement in 2022 which has comprised a carburettor overhaul; conversion back to points with new leads, coil, and battery; refurbished wheels, a new clutch master cylinder, and a full service. Offered for sale with a history file that includes a large collection of previous invoices, a selection of past MOT certificates, sundry paperwork, and current V5C. A recent compression test has shown the Triumph to boast healthy compression, and the TR6 is rated as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendor.

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

“Now the 403 has put Bristol very high indeed among the world’s best cars, and as an extremely fast machine of immense refinement and superb handling qualities, it is probably unique” (John Bolster, Autocar 1953)

Introduced in May 1953, the 403 was visually indebted to its 401 predecessor. Consisting of aluminium panelling cinched over a tubular steel superstructure, the newcomer’s supersmooth, aerodynamic bodywork was underpinned by a sturdy, box-section ladder-frame chassis equipped with transverse-leaf independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and fourwheel Alfin drum brakes. Powered by a thoroughly reworked ‘100A’ version of Bristol’s 1971cc OHV straight-six engine (new camshaft, alloy cylinder head, lightened valve gear etc) allied to four-speed manual transmission, the elegant four-seater saloon was reputedly capable of 102mph. Further enhanced by means of a front anti-roll bar and improved heating / cooling systems, the 403 remained in production until 1955 by which time some 287 are thought to have been made.

This particular example – chassis 4031469 – was reportedly restored to ‘concours standard’ in the late 1990s. Entering the current ownership during 2000, the Bristol was in regular use up until eight years ago. Laid-up due to the vendor’s other commitments, the 403 is now in need of recommissioning. The straight-six engine turns over and the car rolls freely. A thorough clean would smarten the interior, while the paintwork carries sundry minor blemishes and there is some light bubbling visible to the offside front wheelarch. Riding on wire wheels courtesy of special hubs that the seller (a draftsman and engineer by profession) designed and manufactured himself, the Bristol comes with its original steel wheels and hubs should a new owner wish to reinstate them. Reluctantly being offered for sale due to ill health, the 403 is accompanied by a UK V5C Registration Document only (its history file has been mislaid but will be forwarded to a successful purchaser should it ever resurface).

1984 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: A829 VYH MOT: November 2023

Chassis No: SCAZS0008ECH08448

A square-cut, broad-shouldered design, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was styled in-house by Austrian-born Fritz Feller. Although derived from that of the preceding Silver Shadow, the newcomer’s floorpan offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling thanks to its novel Girling automatic ride height control and gas shock absorbers. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe’s engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine and automatic transmission to a muted hush (unless the model’s reputed 120mph potential was explored). Driver inputs were minimised with power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Only in production between 1980 and 1989, just 8,129 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Saloons are thought to have been made.

Supplied new via St Helier Garages Ltd of Jersey to local resident R. Grimshaw Esq on 28th January 1984, chassis ECH08448 was imported to the mainland eighteen years later by which time it had covered some 39,000 miles. Maintained by renowned marque specialists P&A Wood and Britannia Motor Engineers since being UK road registered as ‘A829 VYH’, the Silver Spirit’s accompanying service book contains no fewer than sixteen stamps the last of which was added during February 2021 (less than 1,000 miles ago). Good enough to be sold by P&A Wood to its previous (second UK) keeper during 2003, the luxury saloon remains highly presentable two decades later. Finished in the very rare and fetching colour of Richmond Blue, the RollsRoyce’s sumptuous interior features Magnolia leather upholstery (piped in Dark Blue), Dark Blue carpets (piped in Magnolia) and Burr Walnut veneers. Obviously much pampered, the luxury saloon looks younger than its warranted mileage of 80,900 would suggest with a notably smart engine bay. Starting readily and running well during a brief test drive, ‘A829 VYH’ has lost none of its ability to impress occupants and other road users. Worthy of close inspection, this handsome Silver Spirit is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack, history file and fresh MOT certificate.

1925 De Dion-Bouton

Fire Engine

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: SV 7317 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1WN011935

The Marquis Jules-Albert de Dion was involved with the world of horseless carriages from as early as 1883 and his first internal combustion-engine offering was a diminutive tricycle powered by the company’s new vertical single-cylinder engine, which was notable for revving at almost twice the speed of the contemporary Daimler unit. Pioneers in the French motor industry by the 1920s, 1923 saw a range of six models of car chassis under production. It was often common practice for light commercial coachwork to be applied to car chassis to allow supply to customers requiring commercial vehicles, such as the fire engine coachwork seen here.

Manufactured in 1925, the Fire Engine offered would have originally been manufactured for use in factories, large estates, or chateaus around France. Originally designed to tow a tender trailer with a pump engine, the De Dion-Bouton is powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Unfortunately, little is known of the Fire Engine’s history until it was imported into the United Kingdom in 1998 and purchased by the prior owner to the vendor in 2000, remaining in the previous custodianship for over twenty years.

Acquired by the vendor last year, the De Dion-Bouton was fully recommissioned, which included an engine refresh with replacement head gasket and valves, a new carburettor and fabricated exhaust manifold, partial re-wiring, and new tyres and battery. Also provided was a period ladder and hoses to complete the appearance. The fire engine is now said by the vendor to be running and driving well. Without wishing to pour cold water on the other lots, this one looks the most fun and would surely be a splendid addition to any collection!

1909 Renault AX Tourer

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: C 3304 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 14870

French motor industry royalty, Renault also distinguished itself in the emerging world of motor sport in the early years; think of the Paris-Vienna and Paris-Bordeaux races, success in the former, setting the challenge for other manufacturers. Marcel Renault’s death in the 1903 Paris-Madrid led to Louis Renault’s withdrawal from motor sport to concentrate on motor car production. Establishing the use of engines designed by Viet, brother-in-law to Georges Bouton, the 1905 launch of the twin-cylinder model AG and AX became one of the most commercially successful of all Renault’s pre-Great War models. A simple design that was easy to drive.

Demonstrably, the twin-cylinder 8hp car delivers reliability during participation in club events and rallies; AX models holding their own alongside four-cylinder rally and in-era competitors. Proven success is ably represented by the long production run which continued until the outbreak of the Great War of 1914. AX ownership has strong foundations in the form of the active and supportive Renault Frères Club which operates and arranges events in France and in the United Kingdom. The club also offers invaluable spares support to owners of the AX.

One of the most successful Pre-WWI Renault models, this particular AX is reputed to be one of the most original AXs in existence. As with any car of this age, it has been the subject to previous restoration work for which there is a collection of restoration photographs to document what was worked on alongside the retaining ‘originality’. For many, the added interest in this car is the 1909 production date and its Veteran status, as the AX will be eligible for many events; to this end, the car is offered with a Veteran Car Club (VCC) Dating Certificate. The AX is documented as chassis number 14870, produced in 1909. ‘C 3304’ is offered with a collection of invoices, old MOT certificates, and of course the current V5C.

1999 Aston Martin V8 Coupe

best example we have encountered

Estimate: £75,000 - £85,000*

Reg No: V710 DGF Chassis No: SCFDAM2S9VBR79048 MOT: November 2023

Although its offerings had evolved significantly, Aston Martin was still employing the same, extremely labour-intensive method of construction during the late 1980s that it had adopted for the DB4 some three decades earlier. Thus, production rarely exceeded an average of 250 cars per annum with a knock-on effect on the company’s finances. A meeting between Aston Martin’s then owner Victor Gauntlett and Ford’s Vice President Walter Hayes while both were staying with Contessa Maggi for the 1987 Mille Miglia Storica resulted in the Blue Oval acquiring seventy-five percent of the Newport Pagnell manufacturer during September that year. Ford had assumed full control by 1993 and thrown considerable resource into developing a more cost-effective, higher volume model, the DB7. However, there were a core of Aston Martin customers who were not only less than enamoured with the latter’s Jaguar-derived running gear but also happy to pay considerably more for a handbuilt alternative.

Notable as the last, normally aspirated, aluminium-bodied Newport Pagnell product to be crafted on a sheet-steel platform chassis, the Aston Martin V8 Coupe debuted at the 1996 Geneva Salon. Visually indebted to its supercharged V8 Vantage V550 sibling, the newcomer contrived to look more elegant thanks to a simpler mesh radiator grille, less prominent front air dam, vent-free bonnet and subtler air intakes. Benefiting from Ford funding, the V8 Coupe was a significant advance over its predecessors. Powered by a revised 5.3 litre, DOHC 32-valve engine boasting 350bhp and 369lbft of torque, the four-seater’s smooth four-speed automatic transmission featured Sport and Touring modes (depending upon a driver’s mood). Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and over 155mph, the Aston Martin was intended as more a Grand Tourer than an out-and-out sportscar. Beautifully trimmed with a handsome wood veneer dashboard and sumptuous leather upholstery which extended to the headlining, the V8 Coupe’s interior had a distinctive ‘Old School’ charm about it. Riding on stylish six-spoke, 18-inch OZ Saturn alloy wheels, the Fixed Head proved decidedly exclusive with just 101 being sold from 1996-1999 (in both LHD and RHD configurations). Over two decades on, the V8 Coupe has become increasingly sought after as a true, coachbuilt Aston Martin with some collectors preferring it to the more overtly aggressive (and expensive to run) Vantage V550 and V600 models.

The best V8 Coupe we have encountered, chassis 79048 has led a charmed existence. Only ever entrusted to Aston Martin Works Service for maintenance, its accompanying service book carries stamps at 494, 4,580, 8,885, 11,432, 13,406, 15,454, 17,050 x2 (2007 and 2008), 19,041, 21,778, 21,800, 26,020, 27,804, 28,335 and 29,236 miles. A warranted low mileage can be one indicator of condition, but this V8 Coupe really needs to be seen in the metal to be fully appreciated. First registered to Aston Martin themselves – but not for use as a demonstrator - and part of a significant private collection in recent years alongside various Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Bristol, Lagonda and Ferrari motorcars (plus other Astons), it has been a particular favourite of the vendor. Though, his sons prefer its less pristine but more visceral V550 Vantage stablemate. Drawing admiring looks wherever it goes, ‘V710 DGF’ has had just one private registered keeper from new. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and fresh MOT certificate, this exceptional, low mileage V8 Coupe would grace any collection.

The

1991 Rover Mini ‘Lamm’

Cabriolet

Just 368 miles from new

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000*

Finished in Pearlescent Cherry Red with its original matching Maroon hoodSupplied new by Quicks of Coventry and still retaining its original dealer plates and rear window stickerA rare and sought-after model

By the late 1980s, there had been a massive revival in everything Mini, especially in Japan, so Rover started to take notice. Despite all the previous conversions, including those from Crayford, there hadn’t been an ‘in-house’ offering until 1993. So, after 34 years, the still commercially cautious Rover commissioned 75 converted Mini Cabriolets from Lamm Autohaus in Germany. Lamm had been producing its own coach-built Mini cabriolets since the 1980s. All built in right-hand-drive configuration, and sold through 12 selected UK Rover dealers, demand was high, selling-out within weeks.

It was offered in only one colour - Pearlescent Cherry Red (Code GOC - a deeper colour than Rover’s Nightfire Red) with the interior utilising the Mini Mayfair’s seats and trim with a wood-grained dash. All examples had Mini-Cooper mechanicals and a carburetted 1275cc engine. The bodyshell was substantially strengthened to compensate for the resulting loss of rigidity. Lamm removed the roof, replacing the steel roof with a fabric hood with plastic rear windows. All Lamm Cabriolets wore Revolution alloy wheels and a colour-matched body kit.

Launched on 23rd June 1991, the high list price of just over £12,000, immediately placed the car into a special, even collector’s niche of car. Displaying just a mere 368 miles and family owned from new ‘J771 PVC’ is an original example of the 75 Lamm Mini Cabriolets that Rover commissioned. Recently recommissioned after a long period of dry storage, this super low mileage example is of course finished in Pearlescent Cherry Red with its original matching Maroon hood, with both paint and hood not seeing the British weather. Originally supplied new by Quicks of Coventry ‘J771 PVC’ retains its original dealer plates and rear window sticker. A rare, collectable and sought-after model, the vendor has described the car as ‘Excellent’ in all areas. A rare and sought-after model and a unique opportunity.

1990 Porsche 928 S4

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000*

Reg No: H567 JDE MOT: August 2023

Chassis No: WPOZZ292ZMS801543

Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche’s front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different to the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company’s first foray into grand touring territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of The Year Award.

‘H567 JDE’ was originally delivered to Japan in 1991 and is finished in the rare combination of Amazon Green (Dark Blue Metallic) bodywork and a Can-Can Red hide interior trim. It was ordered with protective side mouldings, a top-tinted windscreen and a leather dashboard as optional extras. In 2015 the car was imported into the UK and has only had 2 previous UK keepers. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms the original details of the car. The Porsche’s comprehensive UK history file shows that it received a lot of attention since 2015 with invoices totalling over £6850 on maintenance including cambelt, brakes and discs, suspension dampers, replacement of aged hoses and various other items. The current vendor has had the car fitted with a 928 sport ceramic catalyst and stainless X-pipe imported from the USA which, according to him, add a further 30hp. The original exhaust is included in the sale. Furthermore, the tyres were upgraded to Pirelli ‘N’ specification and a high-end audio system was also fitted.

The vendor considers the paintwork to be in ‘really good condition’ while, following a recent service, he judges all the mechanical ‘to be in very good order’. At the time of consignment the 928 displayed a total of just over 87,000 kilometres, which roughly equates to c.54,000 miles. It comes complete with a full toolkit, additional service history, owner’s books, a collection of invoices and current V5C.

1998 Rover Mini Paul Smith

1 of only 300 examples supplied new in the UK Reg No: R440

Estimate: £19,000 - £23,000*

The Paul Smith limited edition run of 1800 examples (with 300 designated for the home market), was one of the most distinctive limited-edition Minis ever produced. The car shared the specification of the 1998 Mini Cooper (64bhp, fuel-injected 1275cc), Minilite-type alloys, leather seats, colour-coded wheel arch extensions and mirrors finished in paint chosen by Paul Smith himself. This was one of the few Minis to be fitted with the tall 2.76:1 final drive ratio, making it one of the most relaxing and refined Minis to drive.

Displaying just 24,100 miles, this Paul Smith Mini has benefitted from an extensive restoration. Finished in the original ‘one-off’ Paul Smith Blue paint scheme with Citrus Green accents (engine cover, badging and boot trim), this example was supplied new by Appleyard Rover of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. ‘R440 FJX’ was the subject of a 6 page feature in Mini World, July 2022, that showed off such options as bumper over-riders, front fog and spot lamps, Black leather seats and door cards and a Citrus Green British Isles grille badge. The Orange-edged Denim jack bag is also still with the car. It is also accompanied by some rare collectibles which include original sales brochures and a rare launch postcard client invitation.

The subject of a bare metal restoration and repaint with Craig Webb Restorations for 6 months, that work included a body-off bare metal paint with replacement panels where needed. A USB stick of photographs documents the work. In addition to the aesthetics, the Paul Smith Mini Cooper was treated to mechanical overhaul work that consisted of an overhauled engine, gearbox and running gear. In addition to the original specification, ‘R440 FJX’ has benefitted from a new sports manifold and stainless steel exhaust system, front and rear gas adjustable shock absorbers and sports calipers. Accompanying is a collection of old MOTs, old invoices plus the original owner’s handbook and is currently described by the vendor as in ‘excellent’ overall condition.

1966 Jaguar MkII 3.8

Desirable 3.8 Litre with manual overdrive gearbox

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: KUD 600D MOT: August 2023

Chassis No: 234791DN

For many, the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque’s first monocoque design. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Man’s victories, the MkII was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, the range-topping 3.8 boasted nearly seven times the horsepower of a Mini 850 and a 126mph top speed! Blessed with one of the all-time great automotive interiors, its stylish instrumentation, rich wood veneers and sumptuous leather upholstery all conspired to cosset and cocoon occupants.

KUD 600D is a 3.8 Litre Jaguar MkII Saloon that was first registered on the 1st of November 1966. Finished in a Metallic Dark Blue with a Black leather interior, this car is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and overdrive. Having been owned by the vendor’s family since 1995, this MkII has been meticulously looked after by the current and previous custodians. While under the ownership of a Mr Lazarowicz, the car completed a major overhaul by Southern Classics in July 1993, costing £8,395 and had a stainless steel exhaust fitted at a cost of £732. In 1994 it received a complete respray in Metallic Dark Blue. The current owners have upgraded the car with an XJ6 steering rack pump and power steering, a Kenlowe fan, larger carburettors, a fluted bonnet, upgraded front & rear brakes, and a fuel catalyst conversion. It has a refurbished Black leather interior, a Moto Lita wooden steering wheel, a stainless steel exhaust and knock-off wire wheels. Over the last 12 months, a further £8,500 has been lavished on engine and brake overhauls. It comes with a sheaf of invoices, correspondence, old V5s, MOTs and Tax Discs, a full photographic record of the engine, brake and body overhaul, a tool kit and original workshop & maintenance manuals.

1986 BMW 635 CSi

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: C883 KJO Chassis No: WBAEC820208187104 MOT: October 2023

When new, the MG Midget was essentially a MkII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car ‘Midget’, BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MkIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor’s capacity had been increased via 1,098cc to 1,275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones inherited from the Frog Eye Sprite and front drum brakes had been replaced with discs. A total of 226,001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100,246 of which were MkIII models.

Finished in Riviera Blue matched to a Blue interior ‘MCH 989D’ was the subject to a bare shell restoration which was completed in 2006. Repatriated back from California in the early 2000’s the Midget went on in 2012 to win 1st in class at the MGOC Northern National in Harrogate. Offered with photographs of the restoration, extensive collection of invoices for parts, old MOTs and V5C this smart Midget is believed to be in its original colour combination and also to have matching chassis and engine numbers.

Successor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. Visually distinguished by its ‘shark nose’ frontal styling and thin-pillared glasshouse, the newcomer utilised 2.8, 3.0, 3.2 and 3.5 litre versions of BMW’s mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine. With a quoted 216bhp/232lbft on tap, the 635CSi was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and 135mph. Supplied new to the UK and first road registered as ‘RVO 521’, this striking 635CSi is understood to have spent a year or so in London before emigrating to Spain. Apparently passed between various family members whilst there, the BMW had been left languishing under a pine tree for a decade by the time that the vendor acquired it during 2017. Brought back to the UK, the Coupe then spent the next four years undergoing a sympathetic restoration which reportedly included professional repainting, a comprehensive engine overhaul, renewed brakes, a purpose made exhaust system, and mechanical renewal wherever required. The interior was provided with a thorough cleaning and refresh. Now showing a recorded mileage of approximately 127,000 miles, the 635CSi currently rides on aftermarket alloys wheels but comes with a set of correct specification BBS TRX wheels should a new owner wish to reinstate them. Offered for sale with a mostly complete tool kit, MOT certificate valid until October 2023 and current V5C Registration Document.

1922 Belsize-Bradshaw Tourer

Reserve

Reg No: NO 6544 Chassis No: 1078 MOT: Exempt

Granville Bradshaw was a capable and innovative engineer, and, having had some success with his oil-cooled engines - when fitted to motorcycles, succeeded in persuading the old-established Belsize car company to market a well-made light car, featuring an engine of his design. This was in 1921, but, by that date, this Manchester company could look back on over 20 years of solid progress, beginning with close copies of the Benz, which they made and sold as the Marshall from 1899. By 1906, Belsize offered a wide range of models which enhanced their reputation and they ruled briefly as kings of the Manchester motor manufacturing companies.

The Belsize-Bradshaw offered here, wears registration number ‘NO 6544’, the V5C showing the date of first registration as August 1922. It is currently in component form and appears to have been dismantled for the purpose of restoration some time ago. All the components appear to be present and correct at a glance, however, this cannot be confirmed. The ‘parts’ include a body tub and radiator grille with the interior and seemingly most of the body’s accoutrements attached. The hood bows carry the remnants of a fabric roof. Pretty much everything else has been disassembled. An interesting Granville Bradshaw project for the pre-war enthusiast. Offered with Green logbook, Blue V5c and a photograph of the Bradshaw in c.1980.

1928 Riley 9 Special

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: DS 8661 Chassis No: 603527 MOT: Exempt

It is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of the 1100cc 9hp Riley at the Olympia Show October 1926 revolutionised concepts of light car design - its lower build, outstanding handling and good brakes, the products of careful detail design, were matched by the strong, light and advanced engine, which developed remarkable power for its modest size, and began a chain of development that continued until well after WWII and also spawned the E.R.A. racing voiturettes, the most successful British racing cars of their time. Breathing efficiently through hemispherical combustion chambers and 45-degree overhead valves opened by short pushrods from twin high-set camshafts, the unit simply wanted to rev, and permitted a lowish rear axle ratio that in turn gave good acceleration. The 4-speed gearbox was a joy to use. Apart from a handful of obscure, low-volume specialised sports cars, no other light car produced in similar quantities offered anything comparable.

The Riley Nine Special is thought to have been commissioned by B.G. Jones Esq of Alsager who also had it re-registered with the DVLA as ‘DS 8661’ on September 1st 1990. A Vintage Riley Nine MKIII chassis powered by a later MKVI 1100cc four-cylinder twin-cam engine allied to ‘Silent Third’ fourspeed manual transmission, the Two-Seater’s aluminium bodywork was mounted atop a metal / wood frame. Entering the current (now sadly deceased) ownership on November 18th 1990 and issued with a ‘buff form’ by the Vintage Sports Car Club the following month, ‘DS 8661’ rides on 19-inch wire wheels and is accompanied by a spare Riley Nine engine that was overhauled by A.N. Farquhar of Leicester during October 1994 (including a skimmed cylinder head and lightened flywheel). Unused in recent years, the Special will require recommissioning prior to road use but is seemingly substantially complete. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

1957 Aston Martin Lagonda DB 3 Litre

MKII Saloon

Warranted 36,000 miles from new

Estimate: £28,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: SVB 600 Chassis No: LB290/1/209 MOT: August 2023

The second Lagonda model of the David Brown / Aston Martin era, the DB 3 Litre debuted in 1953. Underpinned by an evolution of its predecessor’s advanced chassis, the newcomer was equipped with all-round independent suspension, servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Shared with the Aston Martin DB 2/4, the Lagonda DB 3 Litre’s straight-six engine featured double overhead camshafts and hemispherical combustion chambers. Rated at 140bhp and 164lbft of torque and allied to four-speed manual transmission, it endowed the four-seater with a near 110mph top speed and spirited acceleration. Initially available in two-door guise only, as a Fixed Head or Drophead Coupe, the range was broadened to include a four-door saloon for 1954. Notable for a host of detail improvements including a floor-mounted gear shift, the MKII version arrived in early 1955. Production continued for another three years, however, a swingingly high purchase price meant that combined DB 3 Litre sales (across Fixed Head, Drophead and Saloon variants) amounted to just 266 cars of which a mere eighty-two are thought to remain intact.

Quite possibly the most original, and perhaps even the lowest mileage, survivor extant, chassis LB290/1/209 was issued with the distinctive number plate ‘SVB 600’ by Croydon Council on 13th December 1957. The DB Lagonda owes its remarkable state of preservation to the Morrow family of Nottingham who cherished it for six decades. Bought by Flight Lieutenant Robert Saunderson Morrow during the early 1960s, the 3 Litre found itself garaged alongside a variety of Alvis, MG and Alfa Romeo models plus a ‘daily driver’ Bentley Continental. A ‘hands-on’ enthusiast, the Flt Lt alternated the usage of his cars such that none accumulated a huge mileage. Correspondence on file from his son, Bob Morrow Jnr, warrants the current odometer reading of 36,000 as representing the total covered from new. Even without his endorsement, the condition of the car itself makes the mileage wholly credible. The stove enamelling to the exhaust manifold is largely intact as is the original paint to the engine. The pedal rubbers show very little wear and the material to the bulkhead / under-bonnet looks similarly well preserved. Although, the real delight is the interior. The carpets have been renewed but the upholstery, wood veneers and headlining have responded beautifully to a thorough clean (with the leather being lightly Connollised).

Finished in the subtle combination of Dark Green over Black, ‘SVB 600’ appears to be free of the electrolytic corrosion which claimed so many of its siblings. Indeed, the floors and sills are remarkably solid. The paintwork is no longer flawless and the brightwork pitted and tarnished in places but the car comes across as ‘all of a piece’. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the DB 3 Litre arguably sounds more like an Aston Martin than a Lagonda! Off the road for some thirty years by the time the Morrow family parted with it in 2016, the Saloon passed into the trade before being bought by the vendor who has spent countless hours recommissioning and reviving it. A true ‘time warp’ even down to its original ‘Hills’ number plates, ‘SVB 600’ exhibits a gentle patina that no restoration could replicate. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until August 2023 and history file.

‘Frankly, it’s bloody marvellous. Muscular yet agile, sophisticated and powered by a magnificent engine, it makes the Bentley GT look frumpy and cumbersome. If you have a loose £105,000 knocking about, there’s nothing that comes close to matching the CL63 AMG’ (CAR magazine, 5th October 2006)

Launched at the 2006 Paris Salon, the C216 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running S-Class Coupe was styled by Gorden Wagener and Peter Pfeiffer. An extravagant 2+2-seater intended to do battle with the Aston Martin DB9 and Bentley Continental GT, the newcomer was powered by various V8 and V12 engines with the fastest variants benefiting from the attention of the Stuttgart manufacturer’s in-house tuning division, AMG. Deemed by many to be one of the greatest, naturally aspirated V8 engines ever made, the 6208cc unit fitted to the CL63 AMG was rated at 518bhp and 465lbft of torque. Allied to sevenspeed automatic transmission, it enabled the super coupe to blast from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds. The top speed was limited to 155mph (though, 200mph was reputedly possible with the relevant electronics bypassed). As technologically advanced and cossetting as its S-Class underpinnings would imply, the pillarless ‘Benz also boasted a wonderfully cocooning interior. Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic with Anthracite Black leather upholstery, this particular example is understood to have cost £126,000 when new. Boasting numerous extras including a fridge to the rear compartment and 20-inch alloy wheels, its warranted odometer reading of 91,000 miles is supported by eleven service stamps. Treated to a new amplifier, underbody Waxoyl treatment and thorough check over by independent Mercedes specialist Nick Webster at the vendor’s behest, ‘SP07 LTJ’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Indeed, the seller is confident that a new owner ‘can just jump in and go’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack, MOT certificate and two keys.

1961 Citroen 2CV AZ

Multiple award winner

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: GSJ 728 MOT: November 2023

Chassis No: 2599582

The development of Citroën’s ever-charming Deux Chevaux dates back to 1936, i.e. a couple of years after the company had been rescued by Michelin. Intended to motorise the large number of French farmers still relying on horses and carts, it was research carried out amongst France’s largely rural population that determined the following unique design brief: a low-priced, rugged ‘umbrella on four wheels’ which would enable four people to drive 110lb of farm goods to market at 31mph in clogs and via muddy, unpaved roads; including transporting eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. Production was delayed by WWII, but began in 1948, following which 3,872,583 2CVs were manufactured via 11 factories across the world (including one in Slough, England) between 1948 and 1990.

Further distinguished by its ‘deux chevaux’ mascot and distinctive ‘bumpy’ boot lid, this rare surviving AZ is the veteran of numerous International Citroen Car Club Rallies. Imported to the UK in 1997, a certificate on file reveals that it was declared ‘Registers Day Winner’ at the following year’s 50th Anniversary of the 2CV Celebrations. Granted a ‘Masters Class Award’ at the 2CVGB’s Registers Day in 2000, the four-seater was judged to be ‘The Best Old Car’ at the 2CV Southern Club’s Walton-onThames meeting two years later and even graced the pages of Classic & Sports Car magazine as part of a feature on the model. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work not the least of which was a respray carried out by a Rolls-Royce and Bentley Service Centre during 2012, the diminutive saloon is among the smartest 2CVs we have encountered and possibly the finest example of its kind in the UK? Wonderfully detailed from its ripple bonnet (thought, perhaps to have been a period replacement) and Jaegar 0-90km/h speedometer through to its Blue-stripped upholstery and Robri wing guards, this delightful Citroen is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and MOT certificate valid until November 2023.

1966 Ford Cortina 1500 GT

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000* 61

Reg No: KLP 599D MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: BA78FJ0820B

A halfway house between the standard 1500cc models and the twin-cam engined Lotus Cortina, the 1500 GT was not only some thirty percent more powerful than its lesser siblings but also featured improved suspension and front disc brakes. Though the Lotus became one of Ford’s all-time great competition cars, the GT was no mean performer with examples notching up memorable wins on the track and in the forest. Manufactured in 1966, the 1500 GT offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 20th of June that year. Fitted with the 1488cc straight-four Kent engine with the four-speed manual transmission, the Ford is finished in metallic Red paintwork (with Metal Flake) and complementary Black vinyl interior upholstery. Entering into current ownership in 2012, the Ford was provided with a restoration (which has only recently neared completion), that has comprised; full repainting of the rust-free shell; an engine overhaul; an electric fuel pump; renewed top mounts and front struts; adjustable shock absorbers; a full interior refresh including headlining; full re-wiring; braking refresh; new wheels and tyres; and a replacement vinyl roof, amongst other improvements. Due to be provided with some further paint remediation and door fitment adjustments in time for sale, ‘KLP 599D’ has been fitted with aftermarket, adjustable power steering, controlled by a dial under the dashboard.

Offered with a history file that comprises, a collection of invoices for both work completed and parts throughout the restoration work, a few previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C document, chassis number BA78FJ0820B is also due to be provided with a 12-month MOT certificate in preparation for sale. Increasingly sought after and seemingly rarer than a Lotus Cortina, the GT Cortinas are surely an appealing prospect!

2002 Aston Martin DB7

Vantage Volante

Rare and desirable manual gearbox example

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: T.B.A MOT: April 2023

Chassis No: SCFAB32362K402945

Introduced at the March 1999 Geneva Salon, the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage eschewed its predecessor’s 3228cc supercharged straight-six for a 5935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lbft. Available with a choice of six-speed manual, five-speed automatic, or (later) Touchtronic semi-auto transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had in Coupe or Volante (Convertible) guises. The latter had its top speed limited to 165mph but could reportedly accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds. To cope with such performance, the 2+2-seater’s structure, suspension, and brakes were all upgraded. Asked to rework his masterpiece, stylist Ian Callum added a reshaped back bumper, more pronounced sills, combined driving lamps/indicators, and horizontal bars to the radiator grille. Notable as the marque’s first V12 production model, the DB7 Vantage lasted until 2003 by which time some 2,056 Volantes had been made, with just 778 in right-hand drive. The sixspeed manual transmission was the rarest transmission.

Supplied new via Lancaster Reading Aston Martin, the DB7 Vantage Volante was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 1st of September 2002. Fitted with the 5935cc V12 engine, allied to the rare and desirable six-speed manual transmission, the Aston Martin is finished in Sky Silver with Charcoal interior upholstery, a burr walnut dashboard and wooden trim, along with a complementing Black hood. Having covered just shy of 45,000 miles from new (at time of consignment), the DB7 has had only three former keepers and has resided in the current ownership since 2011, having been purchased by the vendor from Lancaster Reading Aston Martin. Offered with a history file which includes a large selection of servicing and work invoices, several previous MOT certificates, the aforementioned purchase invoice from the vendor, a current V5C document, and the owner’s manual containing the service records. The service records document twenty-one service stamps (including the PDI), all of which have been provided by Aston Martin main agents. A scarce opportunity to purchase a right-hand-drive manual DB7 Vantage Volante, the rarest of all DB7s.

Reg No: B15 AVC Chassis No: WDBBA48D4GA047328 MOT: December 2022

Arguably the forefather of mass motoring ‘giants’ such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Citroen 2CV and BMC Mini, the Austin Seven was launched in 1922. An extremely versatile design, its simple but well-executed A-frame, leaf-sprung chassis, played host to a bewildering range of derivatives from Brooklands single-seaters to two-speed tractors (all powered by the ubiquitous, four-cylinder, sidevalve 747cc engine). Throughout a lifetime of continual revision and development, the Seven never lost its charm.

Offered here “SX 4076” is believed to have started life as a box saloon however at some stage has been rebodied as a Nippy-style Tourer. Self-evidently treated to an amount of past restoration work its painted in an appealing combination of Yellow with Black, ‘SX 4076’ looks ‘sporty’ with a low centre of gravity. It has been stored away and unused for several years and upon recent inspection the vehicle was not seen running. Offered as part of a deceased estate the Seven is accompanied by a buff continuation logbook plus current V5C and is understood to have previously competed in a number of vintage trails and rallies.

The 560SL offered here was delivered new to the United States in 1986. It was ordered in a striking Arctic White with a contrasting Royal Blue leather interior. The soft top is finished in a matching Dark Blue fabric and the car is offered with a factory hard top finished in Arctic White, mounted on its own stand for storage. Imported into the UK in October 2019, the Mercedes first underwent a cosmetic upgrade to Euro-specification before being UK registered in February 2021.

Still looking resplendent in its Arctic White paintwork with twin Dark Blue coachlines, the vendor describes the exterior as being in very good condition all-round. The same can be said for the Blue leather interior and carpets, which are believed to be largely original. The convertible top has been renewed in the past but is in excellent condition inside and out as is the hard top. The 560SL has benefitted from refreshing of the mechanicals; a new distributor cap and rotor arm, new calipers, discs, pads and flexible hoses all-round, four new shock absorbers, and new cables, shoes and fittings for the foot-operated parking brake. Furthermore, the Mercedes was also treated to refreshed steering and suspension components and an overhauled power steering pump. Currently showing 186,000 miles, the car is presented with a folder containing import documentation, numerous invoices for parts fitted, a current V5C and two sets of keys.

Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc/drum brakes as standard. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2,997cc 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.

Finished in Triumph French Blue with contrasting Black vinyl trim, ‘SAR 324R’ was repainted approximately 15 years ago and the condition still holds up well. Accompanying the Stag is a factory hardtop that is finished in a matching French Blue. Displaying a credible c.70,783 recorded miles and fitted with the automatic transmission option, the vendor reports the car to be running well and having had a recent brake service. The vendor advises a check-over of the vehicle prior to any road use, essentially because the Stag has formed part of a private collection for a number of years, with little use during that time.

A limited-edition model, the XJR-S was produced between 1988 and 1990 reputedly just 326 manufactured. This 1989 XJR-S is finished in Solent Blue Metallic with complementary Magnolia leather interior upholstery. It has had seven former keepers with the previous owner exporting it to Spain in 2008 where it resided in his small private classic car collection for thirteen years. During this time a new headlining was fitted along with basic servicing.

Repatriated by our vendor in April 2021, some recommissioning works included electrical faults corrected, exhaust gas leaks rectified, and four new premium tyres (costing over £600). Additionally, there is a spares package containing new front, rear, and handbrake pads; two rear brake discs; fuel filter; Jaguar grille and bonnet badges; twelve new spark plugs; and the original wiper motor. Despite fitting a replacement windscreen wiper motor, they only work intermittently, probably due to an electronic fault. The odometer reads 99,099 miles but is not currently working and so this reading cannot be warranted.

Offered with the original handbook and stamped service book (displaying eight entries, five from Jaguar main dealers) in the original XJR-S leather book pack wallet. ‘F547 UVX’ is also accompanied by a selection of previous MOTs, a current MOT until August 2023, and a current V5C document.

1994 Toyota Supra Mk4 3.0 litre Twin Turbo

An exceptional UK-supplied example that has covered just c.26,800 miles

Estimate: £38,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: M286 AHW Chassis No: JT164JA8000016115 MOT: November 2023

Overseen by Isao Tsuzuki, work on the fourth generation (A80) Toyota Supra began in February 1989. Debuting at the Chicago Motor Show some four years later, the resultant 2+2-seater Coupe was a technological tour de force. Engaged in something of an ‘arms race’ with its fellow Japanese manufacturers and similarly keen to challenge the established European sportscar hierarchy, Toyota created a machine which, in its ultimate twin-turbocharged guise, was very special indeed. The heart of the forced induction A80 was the mighty ‘2JZ-GTE’ straight-six DOHC 3.0 litre engine boasting a ‘closed deck’ cylinder block, forged steel crankshaft and three-layer steel cylinder head gasket all of which meant that it was completely unstressed when developing 326bhp and 325lbft of torque in European specification. So strong was the unit that tuners were able to add hundreds of extra horsepower whilst still retaining stock internals. Outputs of over 1,000bhp were readily achievable and the most potent ‘2JZ-GTE’ was rated at 2,041bhp! Little wonder then that so many owners have succumbed to the lure of modification.

The other boon of the ‘2JZ-GTE’ was its use of sequential turbochargers which flattened the torque curve to such an extent that ninety percent of its peak was available from 1,300rpm to 4,500rpm. Today, we take nigh-on ‘lag free’ forced induction for granted but in the early 1990s it was a revelation. Nor was it just the engine which marked the flagship A80 as a stand-out design. Inspired by contemporary F1 practice, the Supra utilised a four-channel ABS braking system which enabled Car & Driver magazine to decelerate one from 70-0mph in forty-five metres (a record only surpassed by the Porsche Carrera GT hypercar in 2004). The provision of all-round independent suspension and Bilstein dampers provided ample grip with the Toyota recording 0.98g on the skidpan. However, despite its excellence the A80 remained something of a left-field choice in the UK with many buyers plumping for a (slower) Porsche 911 or Ferrari 348 instead. Thus, just 623 Supras were UK supplied from 1993-1996 with less than half those thought to have survived.

One of only 431, UK-supplied, A80-generation Toyota Supras to be fitted with four-speed plus overdrive automatic transmission, ‘M286 AHW’ has had two registered keepers and covered a scant 26,800 miles from new. Finished in Lucerne Silver with Beige leather upholstery, the 2+2-seater Coupe was supplied by Bryan Brothers of Bristol (whose number plates it still retains) for the princely sum of £41,786.33 including a CD player and extended warranty. The first owner spent a mere month or so every year in the UK and tasked his successor with keeping the Toyota ‘on the button’ until the latter took full possession during 2008. Serviced by Bryan Brothers at 0, 1,173, 4,451, 6,495 and 10,306 miles, the Supra was last treated to a cambelt change at 23,530 miles. Off the road for some eight years but kept garaged and gently exercised on its second owner’s property, ‘M286 AHW’ was serviced and fitted with a new alternator prior to passing its MOT recent MOT test on 9th November 2022 with ‘no advisories’ (the relevant gov.uk website carries records for the car dating back to 2005 and shows that it has, thus far, never been issued with an advisory).

In common with Porsches and Ferraris of the era, the Toyota’s original paintwork is a slightly different shade on its metal and plastic parts but aside from a few minor stone chips is in remarkable condition. The inside is similarly well preserved as is the underneath. Completely standard (and all the rarer for it), the Supra is a genuine timewarp and presents better – to our eyes at least -than even its low warranted mileage would suggest. Increasingly collectible, this exceptional A80 is offered for sale with V5C Registration, original paperwork (‘New Vehicle Invoice’ and ‘Delivery Satisfaction Note’ etc) plus history file.

1958 Jaguar XK150 SE FHC

Full nut-and-bolt restoration and upgraded to ‘S’ specification

Estimate: £75,000 - £85,000*

Reg No: 890 XUJ Chassis No: S824398DN MOT: Exempt

The Jaguar XK150 was the third and final stage in the evolution of the XK concept. Described as the car with grace, space, and pace, this model was launched in May 1957, initially with a choice of fixedhead and drophead coupé bodies. The open two-seater followed nearly a year later. All cars used the XK140 chassis but this time the bodywork was of a much more modern appearance and for the first time featured a one-piece curved windscreen. Inside the vehicle, the walnut veneer on the dashboard and door cappings had been replaced with padded leather trim. Mechanically, it had clearly become a more muscular car. All the production cars were of the “Special Equipment” model, one of the main changes to the XK150 was the Dunlop disc brakes which were used both front and rear as opposed to drums which were fitted to the XK140.

The engine was available in standard tune, or in a higher-performance version on the Special Equipment models. The Standard model had the 3. 4 litre 190 bhp of the earlier car. In 1960 the 220 hp (164 kW; 223 PS) 3. 8 litre engine, fitted in the full-sized luxury MkIX saloon since October 1958 became available. It was tuned to produce up to 265 bhp (198 kW; 269 PS) in “S” models and propel an XK150 to 135 mph (217 km/ h), and from 0–60 mph in around 7. 0 seconds. Overdrive which had been optional also became a standard fitment in 1958.

This car build was completed on 21 April 1958 and dispatched on 2 May 1958 to John B. Clarke Motor Co., Johannesburg, South Africa. It was sold new on 22 July 1958, to Monarch Investments of Waderville, Transvaal. It was one of two cars purchased by two Cape Town architects (partners) at the time (the other being 824396, both cars were built to the same specifications except that 824396 was fully automatic), this car being in the possession of a Mr. Whitehead. Around about 1960, the car was sold to his nephew, also Mr. Whitehead. The car is fitted with overdrive. The original paint colour was Pearl Grey with a Light Blue interior. The car eventually transferred to Dennis Cronje of Johannesburg (a senior 747 pilot with South African Airways) who carried out a meticulous restoration, completed during 1993 and 94, also changing the colour from Pearl Grey to Sherwood Green with a Tan interior. The cylinder head was changed to an “S” type triple SU carbs specification. Straight port head serial no. ZA9061-8 (Photos of this restoration are on file). At this time the owner fitted the “S” badges to the car which remain today. While in South Africa, the current vendor purchased the car in November 2008 complete with the original cylinder head (V3679-8) and a spare 3.8 engine (ZA9061-8) from a Jaguar MkIX. The car had a bottom-end respray in June 2009. The Mark IX engine was stripped, machined, high compression pistons fitted, all components balanced, head refurbished (larger valved), and refitted into the car in July 2009. Current engine specification is 3.8S. The original gearbox was also overhauled at the same time. With the works carried out at that time, over £12k was spent on the engine and gearbox (receipts are available).

The car was shipped back to the UK in December 2010. Since then, new wheels and Vredestein classic sport tyres have been fitted. The front suspension, steering components, and brakes both front and back have been refurbished. The car was re-upholstered in 2019 ie. new carpets, bucket seats, and retractable (Jaguar) seat belts were installed. A Motolita steering wheel was fitted at the same time. N. B. The original engine (3.4) serial number V3679-8, complete with matching head and twin carb intake manifold, also the original seats, and steering wheel are included in the sale. The car was professionally tuned by Zul Racing in Derby in May 2016. Although residing in South Africa for the last 11 years, according to the vendor it is rust-free (never known rust) and runs extremely well. It is in exceptional condition; the paintwork and bright components are all in perfect order. These last 10 years it has been stored in a heated garage and only driven on dry days. The Heritage certificate was produced on 21st July 2009 by Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust from Production Record Trace Certificate number 30899. Also, the South African Veteran & Vintage Association Dating Certificate from 1994 is on file.

2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: SM07 GWL MOT: October 2023

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z7S725460

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 former allied a 3.6 litre engine (rated at 321bhp/273lbft) to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 178mph, it may have been outgunned by some of its siblings but arguably offered the sweetest driving experience. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991 (or current 992), great examples of the 997 cars are becoming increasingly collectable.

Manufactured in 2007, the 911 offered was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 5th of May that year. Fitted with the 3824cc flat-six naturally-aspirated engine allied to the five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the Porsche is finished triple Black with Black paintwork, Black leather interior upholstery, and Black alloy wheels. ‘SM07 GWL’ has covered some 92,000 miles from new and has had only four former keepers, resided in current registered ownership since 2013. Specified from new with optional extras including PCM navigation module, sports exhaust system, Park Assist, electric sports seats, and stainless steel entry guards, the 911 is rated as ‘good’ throughout by the vendor.

Subject to some £4,470 worth of expenditure with SP Autobahn in 2020, the work completed included replacement tailpipes and silencers, engine mounts, front and rear brake discs and pads (as well as wear sensors) and servicing. Offered with a stamped service book which displays eleven entries (all present from Porsche main agents and specialists) as well as three brake fluid changes, the 911 is offered with an MOT certificate until October 2023. Also accompanied by a current V5C document, a collection of invoices (many of which are from SP Autobahn), some previous MOT certificates and a driver’s manual.

1918 Peugeot Type 1525

Truck

Very rare survivor and unique in the UK

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: BF 9728 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 10322

Various different types of heavy goods vehicles were produced by Peugeot, both shortly before, and during the war years, with the lion’s share being supplied to the French army. Manufactured at the Sochaux plant, between 1917 and 1920, the Type 1525 Truck, featured a four-cylinder engine with a claimed power output of 22hp, and a quoted maximum speed of some 30 km/h (19 mph). The frontmounted engine drove the rear wheels via a four-speed gearbox and a rotating steel driveshaft. The truck came with steel wheels, which were doubled at the back, and shod with solid rubber tires, yielding a maximum load weight believed to be in the region of 4,000 kg.

Manufactured in 1918, the Type 1525 offered is understood to have been supplied new to the French Armed Forces for military use as a Troop Carrier and is likely to have seen service at the end of and the clean-up following World War One. Originally featuring a canvas covered rear compartment and short canvas roof for the driver, the four-cylinder c.4.8-litre engine employed by Peugeot is allied to a four-speed manual transmission. One of 4,000 reputedly manufactured, following de-commissioning from active service, the Peugeot is next known to have been covered to a tow/recovery wagon, and later a drop-side truck for commercial use.

Acquired for use as a promotional vehicle by ‘The Kennedy’ Irish Pub in Angouleme during the 1980s, the Peugeot was provided a Guinness liveried advertisement board above the cab and was the main feature of the artwork on the Guinness beermats for the pub (with one included in the history file). Imported into the United Kingdom in 2019 and thought to be the only one in the United Kingdom, the Peugeot was recommissioned by the vendor and has subsequently completed some 70 successful miles. ‘BF 9728’ is accompanied by photographs at different stages of its life, a copy instruction manual, and a current V5C document. An exceptionally rare survivor globally, and believed unique on British shores, chassis number 10322 has been UK road registered and now is ready for further use, promotional activity, or would make a fantastic addition to any collection or museum!

1981 Aston Martin V8 Volante

Estimate: £140,000 - £160,000*

Reg No: NHM 742X Chassis No: SCFCV81C3BTL/15240

MOT: November 2023

Introduced in June 1978, the Aston Martin V8 Volante was among the most stylish 2+2-seater convertibles that money could buy. Utilising a strengthened version of its two-door Saloon sibling’s sheet steel platform chassis, the newcomer was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a De Dion rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Sporting a ‘power bulge’ bonnet to accommodate the quad Weber carburettors that sat atop its 5340cc DOHC V8 engine, the soft-top was typically ordered with three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of over 140mph and 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds, the V8 Volante featured sumptuous leather upholstery and a beautiful burr walnut dashboard / door cappings. A smash hit with America’s rich and famous, most of the 439 carburettor-fed cars completed between 1978 and 1986 were to left-hand drive specification.

For many the ultimate Aston Martin V8 was the Vantage Volante that the late Emir of Bahrain gifted to HRH Prince Charles in 1986. Eschewing the body kit usually fitted to Vantage models, the future King requested a far subtler look with a modest front air dam, mesh radiator grille, spoiler-less boot lid, ‘power bulge’ bonnet, wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, bumper over riders and slightly flared wheelarches housing larger, sixteen-inch alloy wheels etc. The result was a masterclass in muscular elegance and doubtless served as inspiration for R. Dench Esq. who had the sale car – chassis 15240 – restored and upgraded by marque specialist Trinity Engineering of Cobham, Surrey from 2001-2002 (though, Mr Dench may also have been impressed by Victor Gauntlett’s similar V8 Volante which starred in the James Bond film ‘The Living Daylights’).

The nature of an Aston Martin V8’s construction, a steel chassis and aluminium bodywork, means that it can be particularly prone to electrolytic corrosion. Thus, there can be distinct advantages in refurbishing a car which has spent its life in a temperate climate. Completed on 24th July 1981 and despatched to Aston Martin Lagonda Inc of America the following month, chassis 15240 was duly stripped to bare metal and converted to chrome bumper, right-hand drive configuration. An improved ‘V580’ type unit, the original engine was thoroughly overhauled and uprated to run on unleaded fuel (the accompanying Heritage Certificate quotes the engine number as ‘5248’ but the chassis plate and powerplant itself are both numbered as ‘5240’). A more modern four-speed automatic gearbox was installed and the suspension, brakes and steering all renovated.

Finished in the stunning combination of Balmoral Green Metallic with Tan leather upholstery and a Dark Green hood, the V8 Volante was first UK registered as ‘NHM 742X’ on 23rd July 2002. Returning to Trinity Engineering for servicing at 1,084, 6,246, 8,497 and 11,457 post-restoration miles, the Aston Martin was purchased from marque specialist Nicholas Mee by M. Campbell Esq in 2008. Given their familiarity with the car, Mr Campbell also called upon Trinity Engineering’s expertise. As well as having the Surrey firm repair the radiator, rejuvenate the steering rack and replace the front differential mount, he had them uprate the suspension via lower / stiffer springs, new anti-roll bars and fresh front shock absorbers and install the current sixteen-inch Ronal alloy wheels (with the speedometer being recalibrated accordingly).

Serviced by Trinity Engineering at 17,656 miles in 2008, ‘NHM 742X’ entering the current ownership the following year via marque specialist Runnymede. Sparingly used as part of a private collection, a mere 4,000 or so miles have been added to the V8 Volante’s odometer reading which now stands at just shy of 25,000. Entrusted to main dealer Grange Aston Martin for maintenance at 24,361 and 24,580 miles, the 2+2-seater’s condition is a credit to Trinity Engineering’s craftsmen. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Aston Martin did not want for admirers! With several marque specialists currently charging £250,000 + VAT for a similarly comprehensive renovation, ‘NHM 742X’ is an appealing prospect. A fabulous looking machine with distinct ‘Prince of Wales’ overtones, it is offered for sale with restoration photo album, fresh MOT certificate and leather-bound history file.

1971 Jensen Interceptor II

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000*

Reg No: BHJ 151J Chassis No: 123/4008 MOT: July 2023

Jensen’s C-V8 replacement debuted in 1966 reviving a name first employed in the 1950s. However, several of the firm’s traditions were broken in that the design was outsourced to Carrozzeria Touring, and the bodies made of steel, not glass fibre. Early shells were built in Italy, by Vignale, before production was established at Jensen’s Kelvin Way plant in West Bromwich. Power came from a 6276cc (383ci) Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSD Salisbury rear axle. Specification included electric windows, reclining seats, a wood-rim steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, an electric clock, and reversing lights. MkI production ran for three years before being supplanted by the MkII. The MkIII followed two years later and was still in manufacture when Jensen entered receivership during 1976, by which time some 6,408 Interceptors had been built.

Manufactured on the 6th of December 1970, the Jensen offered was supplied new to ‘Michael Norman Antiques’, being first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of April 1971. One of just 1,128 Interceptor IIs manufactured (of which only 696 examples were right-hand-drive), ‘BHJ 151J’ is fitted with the 6276cc Chrysler V8 engine allied to the three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Finished in Gunmetal Grey, with the interior trimmed in the mostly original Biscuit leather interior upholstery. A previous Jensen Owners Club Concours d’ Elegance award winner, the Interceptor II entered into current ownership in 2013, having resided with the previous custodian for some eight years beforehand.

Receiving expenditure of approximately £9,000 during the prior ownership, work completed included a gearbox overhaul and engine and servo mounts. Under the vendor’s custodianship, the Interceptor II has received further expenditure worth over £34,000. In 2013, the interior was refreshed with a new carpet set, rear side cards, and centre console, retaining as much of the original interior as possible. Well-renowned specialists Cropredy Bridge supplied a complete engine overhaul, front brake pads and discs, and other mechanical enhancements through 2014 and 2015, as well as Malton Coachworks providing a full repaint and exterior trim refurbishment. Further mechanical improvements between 2016-2018 included a new exhaust manifold, power steering pump, oil pressure sender, and servicing. Most recently lavished with c.£2,560 this year, wheel refurbishment, further paintwork improvements, power steering fettling, and a new window motor were all received.

‘BHJ 151J’ is offered with a large and comprehensive history file that dates back to the Jensen’s manufacture, and comprises the Statement of Origin from the records of Jensen Motors; a copy of Inspection Finishing Line documents; a Guarantee claim when three months old for paintwork rectification; an extensive collection of invoices dating back to the early 1970s; a large selection of MOTs back to the 1980s; several previous tax discs, and a current V5C document. Driven some 16,000 miles during the vendor’s custodianship, subject to much expenditure, and with well-documented history, this surely makes this Interceptor II a very appealing prospect.

1937 Morris 8 Tourer

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000* 73

Reg No: NXS 191 Chassis No: S2E171009 MOT: Exempt

Unveiled in 1935, the Morris Eight was better equipped than most of its competitors and boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on the upper two gearbox ratios and effective Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The range included both Two- and Four-Seat Tourers and was powered by a Morris UB series 918 cc four-cylinder side-valve engine with three-bearing crankshaft and single SU carburettor with maximum power of 23.5 bhp (17.5 kW).

One of the former, `NXS 191’ has been the subject of a five-year restoration. The extensive restoration involved the supply of many parts by Ian Harris Morris Spares. Repainted in what is believed to be the original colour, the Tourer also received a re-trim of the interior door cards and upholstery in complementing Red leather with matching Red carpets. New Black vinyl weather equipment was also crafted and fitted correctly. Whilst in restoration the car has also benefited from a conversion to 12 volts. Mechanically the Tourer received ‘white-metalling’ treatment by Chase Engineering. Completing the restoration the owner had the lamps and the radiator grille and trim re-chromed and polished along with media blasting of the steel wheels before being fitted with new tyres. ‘NXS 191’ is offered with a collection of invoices and the original operations manual.

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: G764 THV Chassis No: SALLHAML3FA395548 MOT: T.B.A

The first-generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996. The early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards designed to be washed down with a hose. The Range Rover utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent fourwheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the Rover V8 engine.

For the 1989 model year, the four-door would see concealed front door hinges and deeper sills. The Vogue SE, the top of the range model offered was priced at £29,380 – some £5,000 more than the second in line. Standard specification for the year included air conditioning, Conolly leather upholstery with with electric adjustable seats and Burr Walnut wood trim, electric sunroof and extra high level radio system with additional bass speaker in the front door. This was in addition to the specification from the previous model year upgrades. Presented in Beluga Black with compementing Grey Connoly leather interior, ‘G764THV’ is offered having recently benefited from a full respray, as well as the wheels being refurbished. Offered with only c.91,000 on the odometer, this particular examples comes accompanied with a small collection of previous invoices.

1988 Alfa Romeo 164

No Reserve 76

Reg No: F98 PCW Chassis No: 2AR 641 000 2500 MOT: August 2023

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 and powered by either a 4.2-litre V8 or 5.0-litre engine. Presented in the appealing combination of Grey with contrasting Ivory leather interior, this particular 4.2 XK boasts an impressive specification, including both front and rear parking sensors, perforated, heated, adjustable memory seats, dual zone climate control, cruise control and more. Now showing 104,361 miles on the odometer, ‘FN06 VKD’ is offered accompanied with an MOT valid until 18th October 2023.

Included with the vehicle is its original book pack, which includes two warrant booklets, owner’s handbook, quick start guide and the service book which contains 13 stamps – 8 of which are main dealer and the remaining 5 from independent specialists. The most recent service was on 19th October 2022. Also included are a small number of previous invoices and MOTs, as well as the V5C document which displays 6 former keepers. For good measure, the car also comes accompanied with two sets of keys.

The Alfa Romeo 164 is a four-door executive saloon manufactured and marketed by Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1987-1998, styled by Pininfarina, and cooperatively designed and sharing platforms and numerous elements with the Fiat Croma, Saab 9000 and Lancia Thema. With a wedge shape yielding a drag coefficient of 0.30. The design would later influence the rest of the Alfa Romeo range, starting in 1990 with the major redesign of the 33 and culminating with the 155. Ultimately unveiled at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 164 was the last model to be developed while the Alfa Romeo was still a fully independent company, and was formally launched a few months after the takeover by Fiat. The understated elegance of Pininfarina styling of the 164 is very reminiscent of the more illustrious Ferrari 412 coupe of the 1980s and ‘PCW’ represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a lovely example of this much underrated 1980s performance saloon powered by the wonderfully sonorous quad cam ‘Busso’ V6 engine. Reported to be in very good condition throughout, the odometer displays just 69,565 miles and has been in the present ownership since 1991. Maintenance records include work carried out by Alfa Specialists and a stamped service book.

‘F98 PCW’ has seen little use in recent years but it has always been garaged. Paperwork includes the book pack, service book and a quantity of invoices. Benefitting from a ‘recent’ set of Dunlop tyres, the car is currently SORN’d with an MOT into August 2023. The vendor advises a check over before use.

1955 Land Rover 86

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: SFO 926 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 57104809

The Land Rover’s 1595cc, 50bhp four-cylinder Rover engine might seem under-powered today, but its 80lb-ft of torque was impressive. There was permanent four-wheel drive, leafsprung suspension and not much else for your £450 when it was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Any kind of extra equipment came at an additional cost, but the orders started to come in. The very first Land Rover registered was one of the Amsterdam Motor Show cars on 21 May 1948, and full production began at Solihull shortly after. Rover soon saw that the vehicle’s appeal went beyond expectations. In 1949 the British Army placed its first order. It wanted 1,878; so many, that the decision was made to paint all Land Rovers in the Army’s Dark Green and they saw their first action the following year, in the Korean War. The Red Cross ordered its first Land Rovers in 1954, and its relationship with the marque endures to this day.

In 1954, Solihull made its 100,000th Land Rover and by the time the Series I was replaced in 1958, nearly 200,000 had been produced. With 70 per cent exported, the principles that Maurice Wilks first sketched in the sand at Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey had been put into practice across the world.

This Series 1, from 1955, has resided in current ownership since 2008. In that time the current vendor has refreshed the look of ‘SFO 926’ with new paintwork throughout the body. The wheels have also been refurbished and repainted. Currently wearing a recently added ‘Bikini’ top; light and open enough for summer driving, the Series 1 is also offered with a full canopy frame without the fabric and a rear tonneau cover. Inside, new seats have also been added in the vehicle’s current ownership. ‘SFO 926’ is offered with a V5c document.

Reg No: PGF 540K MOT: November 2023

Chassis No: 1S50518

Last of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sportscar and grand tourer. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph) simply blew road testers away. Benefiting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its ‘egg-crate’ grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in fixed-head coupe (2+2-seater) or roadster (2-seater) guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (though, a special commemorative run of forty-nine black-painted roadsters was released the following year). A mere 2,116 RHD FHCs are thought to have been made.

Inherited by the vendor from her late partner who had bought it on December 1st 1979, ‘PGF 540K’ is believed but not warranted to have covered just 46,140 miles from new. The earliest supporting piece of paperwork on file being an MOT certificate issued by Barton Autos Ltd of Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire on August 1st 1980 at an indicated 43,781 miles. Garaged alongside various other Jaguars over the past forty-three years, the E-Type has undergone a degree of restoration work. Treated to some new rubbers in 2010 and a brake system overhaul three years later plus general servicing, the Fixed Head Coupe started readily and ran well during our recent photography session.

Fitted with manual transmission and uprated Koni front shock absorbers at some stage, this much-loved E-Type is now looking for its next long-term custodian. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until November 2023, 1978-issued tax disc, Genesis of the Jaguar V12 brochure and assorted other documentation.

1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

Subject to a bare metal restoration 9,000 miles ago

Estimate: £100,000 - £120,000*

Reg No: 879 UYO Chassis No: 12104010019122 MOT: May 2023

Unveiled in prototype form at the 1954 New York Motor Show, the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was a ground-breaking design. Far more civilised than many contemporary sports cars, its ethos foreshadowed that of the ‘personal luxury cars’ which dominated the American market the following decade. Featuring a monocoque bodyshell, wind-up windows, snug fitting soft-top and all-round independent suspension years before the likes of Jaguar, Austin-Healey, MG and Triumph caught up, the newcomer was powered by a 1.9 litre SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed, all synchromesh manual transmission which endowed it with a 107mph top speed. The 190 SL’s rear suspension might have been derived from that of Mercedes-Benz’s all conquering W196 Grand Prix cars but it was the Convertible’s styling which really grabbed buyers’ attention. Second fiddle to the 300 SL (W198) Roadster or not, the 190 SL (W121) was still bewitchingly pretty. Only in production from 1955 – 1963 during which time some 25,881 examples were made, the model’s popularity has been perpetuated by appearances in hundreds of films, advertisements, pop videos and even the pages of Playboy magazine. A true 1950s icon, its appeal remains strong today. Finished in the stunning combination of Ivory with Red leather upholstery, this particular example was supplied new to Switzerland. Subsequently migrating to America, it ended up in Wisconsin and was imported to the UK by B. Gaskins during 1994. Seemingly not a man to do things by halves, Mr Gaskins commissioned an extensive, chassis up restoration by marque specialist Adams Automotive Engineering of Easton with numerous genuine Mercedes-Benz parts being sourced from Robinsons Autostar Garage Ltd and Majestic Garage Ltd (both main dealers). As well as having new panels grafted into its bodywork as necessary and being repainted, the two-seater received a thorough mechanical overhaul of its engine, gearbox, rear axle, suspension, steering and brakes. Rewired, retrimmed and with its brightwork smartened, the 190SL returned to the road in 1996. A testament to the skills of Adams Automotive Engineering, we doubt that most onlookers would credit that some twentysix years and 9,000 miles have elapsed since the refurbishment was completed. Part of a private collection before joining the vendor’s own during 2017, ‘879 UYO’ is variously rated by him as being in ‘very good’ (bodywork, paintwork) or ‘excellent’ (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim) condition. Aside from a performance carburettor upgrade carried out by marque specialist Hilton & Moss in 2019, the two-seater is understood to be to standard specification throughout. Worthy of close inspection, this gorgeous 190 SL passed its most recent MOT test on 31st May 2022 with ‘no advisories’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and numerous bills / photographs chronicling the restoration.

The SLK 55 AMG was launched in 2004, powered by a naturally aspirated 5.4-litre V8, producing 355bhp and driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifts. Car & Driver Magazine reported a 0-60mph time in 4.3 seconds. The SL55 featured the AMG body kit, 18in alloy wheels, lowered suspension and quad exhausts as standard. Desirable options included a Harman Kardon stereo and Airscarf neck heating. While keenly priced at £51,975 when new, its ability to deliver two cars in one – it’s both a laidback and cosseting coupe and a blood-spitting hairy-chested roadster – it was widely renowned as a highly engaging machine. Motortrend magazine described the car in 2005 as doing “…just about everything the slightly larger, considerably heavier SL500 and SL55 AMG has to offer. The SLK55 can show the SL500 a thing or two on an interesting piece of road. It’s a second and a half quicker to 60 than the SL500 and just 0.2 seconds slower than the supercharged SL55.”

Displaying a very low mileage reading of just 5,050 miles from new, this Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG has just 1 former keeper. ‘PV55 VNB’ is finished in Opal Fire Red complemented to a Black leather interior this model is surely an unquestionably modern classic roadster, that is certainly well-renowned for its ‘pocketrocket’ status. The subject of an oil change in September of this year, it is offered with the original owner’s wallet, handbooks and service book plus a collection of old invoice sand MOT certificates.

Said to be in ‘as new’ condition it’s no surprise the vendor currently grades the engine, gearbox, paintwork, interior, electrical equipment and paintwork all as ‘excellent’ order. A rare opportunity to purchase what must be one of the lowest mileage SLK 55 AMGs on the market.

1956 Bentley S1 Saloon

Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: OSF 666 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B426CK

The Bentley S1 was unveiled in April 1955. A very different car from its predecessors, it was longer and wider and based on a much stiffer chassis. Though the traditional body-on-chassis construction facilitated the manufacture of special-bodied versions, most were delivered with the standard offering produced by Pressed Steel Ltd, featuring alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid. Powered by the final iteration of the company’s venerable 4.9-litre straight six engine featuring revised cylinderhead porting, power was quoted at 178bhp. As standard, the unit drove through a four-speed automatic gearbox with steering column control. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs and employed a leaf-spring mounted live axle at the rear. Braking was by drums all round. A total of 3,107 examples were produced between 1955 and 1959.

First registered in Edinburgh, Scotland, this 1956 Bentley S1 has resided in its current ownership, by a Rolls Royce and Bentley specialist, since 2014. In that period of ownership the ‘OSF 666’ has benefitted from attention to the body and the mechanicals. The S1 currently displays a mileage of 69,357 credible miles (at the time of consignment).

First to note is the bare metal bodywork and repaint in Mason’s Black over a complementing shade of Plumb. As part of the restoration work, the S1 was given new boot and door seals. Inside, the contribution of the wood to the Bentley’s luxury was brought back by attention being paid to replacing the veneer, door cappings and the dashboard fascia. Mechanical fettling has been carried out in a number of areas in the current ownership, including a full service. To support the car’s longevity, the S1 also benefits from a stainless steel exhaust and stainless steel bumpers and wheel trims. Offered with a current V5C, an original handbook and a complete Bentley tool-kit accompanies this well-presented S1.

Reg No: BUH 665 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 8125696/100

The Brough name is better known in relation to motorcycles than cars. The firm’s car production was minuscule by comparison and limited to circa eighty-five examples, but they echoed their two-wheeled cousins in terms of quality. Three models were designed but only two made it into series production - the 4-Litre straight-eight manufactured in 1935/36 and the ensuing 3.5-Litre straight six which produced 107bhp giving 0-60 in 12 seconds and a top speed of 90mph. Most Broughs sported striking Drophead Coupe bodies, which were produced by W C Atcherley of Birmingham.

Fitted with elegant Drophead Coupe (DHC) coachwork by W C Atcherley of Birmingham. Being chassis number 100, it is reputed to be the last Brough manufactured as post-WWII the company was wound-up following manufacturing for the war effort and a lack of suitable engines available. This rare example has been the subject of a long-term restoration, supported by a number of photographs, the work appearing to have been completed c.2004. It appears ‘BUH’ has formed a part of two private collections and appears not to be currently registered with the DVLA but the vehicle is well-known to club.

The accompanying documents file contains a record of ownership since the 1960s, suggesting the car spent its early life in the Cardiff area with a move to the United States, probably in the late sixties or early seventies, to be repatriated to the UK in the mid 1970s. Some information pertaining to this, has been supplied by the club. Sensible upgrades to standard specification include telescopic shock absorbers and hydraulic brakes. The Drophead is reported to be in ‘Good’ order throughout. The documents file also includes press cuttings, a Virginia title document for ‘BUH’, a 1993 customs declaration confirming ‘return to the UK’ (pre NOVA) and a 2004 MOT certificate. ’The Brough Club have been very helpful in that they have made an offer to support an approach to the DVLA in respect of a replacement V5C for the Drophead.

Reg No: KAJ 163N MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: BBATPA79227

Introduced in June 1968, the RS2000 MkI was destined to be the last model to be built at Ford’s legendary AVO (Advanced Vehicle Operations) Plant. The newcomer boasted equally predictable/ entertaining handling thanks to the provision of Macpherson strut independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, servo-assisted disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. An unusual tortoise/hare hybrid in that it essentially combined the pace of the highly-strung RS1600 with the reliability of the more pedestrian Mexico, the original RS2000 was powered by the Blue Oval’s new 1993cc SOHC four-cylinder ‘Pinto’ engine developing some 100bhp and 108lbft of torque.

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

Subject to much further improvement while with the vendor, the work has included a full interior refresh with retrimmed seats and a Newton Commercial carpet set; bare metal repainting; new front discs and pads; new top mounts, ball joints and Bilstein front struts; a replacement distributor; and rolling road tuning in 2021. With a recorded mileage of 73,337 miles (at the time of consignment), the Ford is accompanied by a history file comprising of a collection of invoices relating to the vendor’s improvements, previous MOT certificates and a current V5C. The Escort is also expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale.

The Bentley S1 was unveiled in April 1955. A very different car from its predecessors, it was longer and wider and based on a much stiffer chassis. Though the traditional body-on-chassis construction facilitated the manufacture of special-bodied versions, most were delivered with the standard offering produced by Pressed Steel Ltd, featuring alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid. Powered by the final iteration of the company’s venerable 4.9-litre straight six engine featuring revised cylinder-head porting, power was quoted at 178bhp. As standard, the unit drove through a four-speed automatic gearbox with steering column control. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs and employed a leaf-spring mounted live axle at the rear. Braking was by drums all round. A total of 3,107 examples were produced between 1955 and 1959.

B69GD was delivered on the 13th of April 1959 to its first owner, a Mr H.E. Krueger, through Jack Barclay Ltd of Berkeley Square, London. It was ordered with the John Blatchley-designed Standard Saloon body, finished in Smoke Green with a Green hide interior and the optional electric windows. Exported to the Netherlands in May 1996, the S1 entered into the ownership of David Theobald, a respected Bentley Specialist, who decided to embark on a full nut-and-bolt restoration. He went to great lengths to source original parts from a who’s-who of Bentley & Rolls-Royce Specialists. Going the extra mile, David Theobald also recreated an original specification Continental Touring Kit to accompany the car on continental journeys. This highly desirable and handmade item is also included in the sale.

Having won several prizes at the RREC National Rally Concours, the car is still presented in exceptional condition after having been re-imported into the UK. According to the vendor the S1 is one of the best examples in the world and runs and drives the way it would have done when it left the factory in 1959! The extensive history file which accompanies the car contains several folders with sheaves of invoices from the likes of Jack Barclay, P&A Wood, Ristes Motor Company, Healey Bros, and Fiennes Engineering, together with full folder of photographs documenting the full scope of the restoration, old MOT’s and registration documents, two sets of keys and a current V5C.

The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company’s AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise.

Manufactured in 2001, this XKR Coupe was first UK registered on the 5th of March that year. ‘Y106 BWN’ is finished in Dark Blue Metallic with a complementing Black leather interior. Having covered just 68,589 miles from new (at the time of consignment), this Jaguar was purchased by its current owner this year. Since its purchase, £500 was spent on some electrical fettling but he has decided to compile the majority of his collection into one more valuable vehicle, and so the vehicle is offered for sale today. Benefitting from much recent improvement, a full professional repaint was provided in 2018 (reportedly due to just a few minor blemishes), a new headlining was fitted two years ago and recently it was shod with new tyres. Accompanying the vehicle is a printed Jaguar XKR handbook, a printed MOT history and the current V5C document which displays 7 former keepers. ‘Y106 BWN’ has an MOT valid until 24 May 2023.

The Syd Enever-designed MG A was a breath of fresh air for the Abingdon marque. Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, it featured a separate chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and was powered by the 1489cc straight-four BMC B Series engine.

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, ‘YLT 38’ is an original right-hand drive example that was built at Abingdon during the week of 21st November 1958 and despatched to the distributor with the following specification: MPH speedometer, ‘disc wheels’, tonneau cover and adjustable steering column. Extensively restored by its previous keeper, the twoseater is finished in Glacier Blue with Black upholstery (Blue-piped) and a Grey soft-top. Numerous photographs on file help demonstrate the extent of the renovation as do the many receipts from the likes of Moss Motors Ltd and the MGOC Spares Ltd. The vendor was drawn to the MG A because of its colour and period correct details such as the painted wire wheels. Having entrusted the Roadster to a local garage for some mechanical fettling, she was unsettled to be told that the body was not attached to the chassis in keeping with the manufacturer’s original methodology. Lacking the expertise to carry out any necessary work, she has now decided to offer the car to a more ‘hands on’ enthusiast.

1932 Austin Seven Special 1993 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: YXS 961 Chassis No: 149251 MOT: Exempt

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000* 87

Reg No: K144 PGN Chassis No: SCAZS02A3PCH46520 MOT: December 2022

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 lifetimes.

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 headlamps 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.

Although, based on the Shadow floorpan, the Spirit offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe’s engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 to a muted hush. Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Spirit II featured a sophisticated automatic ride control system that adapted to changing road conditions almost instantaneously.

Delivered new in 1993 by Malayan Motors, the official Rolls-Royce agents in Singapore and costing a staggering £71,461, this particular example was built to right-hand drive specification, painted in Brooklands Green with a Magnolia interior piped in Spruce Green. The steering wheel was supplied in Spruce Green and the lightest available burr walnut veneers selected for the interior.

In 1998 the Silver Spirit was repatriated to the UK. Purchased by its current owner this year, he has now decided to compile the majority of his collection into a singularly more valuable vehicle, and so the vehicle is offered for sale today. Now showing only 38,786 miles, believed to be correct, ‘K144 PGN’ is offered with a large history file containing copies of the build sheets, a large collection of previous invoices by Rolls-Royce specialists, a large collection of previous MOTs and the current V5C document.

Subject to an extensive restoration

Estimate: £24,000 - £26,000*

Reg No: VBP 240F MOT: January 2023

Chassis No: 1J2551

In the Autumn of 1967, the MkII range - less the discontinued 3.8 - morphed into the interim 240 and 340 models intended to bridge the gap before the launch of the XJ6 in September 1968. The 240 continued as a budget model until April 1969; its price of £1,364 being only £20 more expensive than the first 2.4 in 1956. Output was increased from 120bhp at 5,750rpm to 133bhp at 5,500rpm and torque was increased.

Being one of the last evolutions of the MkII line (the revised 240 and 340 models were introduced for the 1968 model year), this 240 (Straight 6) example has the visually distinguishable ‘new for 1968’ slimline front and rear bumpers and also the benefits from the sundry hidden changes such as the adoption of the E-type’s straight port cylinder head design.

Supplied new to a Mr Frank Clark via Boxall Collins Ltd ‘VBP 240F’ is finished in its original Cream paintwork with a Black interior, the clean lines were noticeably classical but still welcomed in 1968 and this example has been the subject of an extensive restoration that shows off the curves and elegance to their fullest extent.

The sale is accompanied by comprehensive receipts and restoration photographs from various stages of the detailed restoration work. As part of the work, the car was taken down to bare metal before being painted with the mechanicals, running gear and engine having also been overhauled. The interior has also been retrimmed in Black and the brakes have been overhauled. A manual without overdrive model the 240 still has its original logbook and bill of sale present, along with the service history book (up to 1982). The present mileage of c.28,283 represents mileage since the speedo change at 42,216 miles. Offered with V5c and Heritage Certificate this low ownership example is currently described by the vendor as ‘Excellent’ in regards to the paintwork, bodywork, interior, engine and gearbox.

2017 Mercedes-Benz S63L

AMG Bi-Turbo Saloon

£126,000

Estimate: £50,000 - £55,000*

when new Reg

The new 2018 model year AMG S63L really set the benchmark for Mercedes in terms of its ultimate luxury saloon. Not only was there a brand new 4.0L V8 engine to replace the old 5.5L V8 but there was also a new 9-speed gearbox bringing the S63 firmly into the new age. The new unit, AMG’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 boasts the biggest outputs of them all. Even the true AMG flagship, the GT R, gets by with 20kW and 200Nm less. With 612bhp and 900Nm of torque, the result is, as you’d expect, monstrous. 4.3 seconds from 0–62mph in fact, for a car north of two tonnes. With the £2755 driver’s package, which is selected on the car offered today, a top speed of 186mph.

This particular example, finished in Obsidian Black with matching Black leather interior, boasts a high specification including autonomous cruise control, drivers package, memory package (driver’s seat, steering column, mirrors), dynamic heated seats with a massage feature, AMG styling package with wheel arch enlargement, panoramic sliding sunroof, Apple CarPlay, rear view camera, Burmester sound system, traffic sign recognition, wireless telephone charging, premium ambience illumination and much more. With an MOT valid until 5th March 2023, the odometer currently displays just c.48,340 miles and the vehicle benefits from having had just 2 former keepers (although the V5C document shows 3 due to the vendor re-registering under his business name).

1979 Ford Escort MkII RS 2000

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: DHN 646T Chassis No: GCATWK51757 MOT: Exempt

Developed in conjunction with Ford of Cologne and launched during January 1976, the Escort MK2 RS2000 was based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with MacPherson strut front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, rack-and-pinion steering and disc/drum brakes. Powered by a longitudinally-mounted 2-litre four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the RS2000 was credited with 110bhp and a 110mph plus top speed. Visually distinguished from its lesser brethren by a fibreglass snout housing quad headlamps, the model could be had in ‘Custom’ and - from 1978 onwards - ‘Basic’ guises. However, the ultimate MK2 RS2000s were those modified in period by Ford Rallye Sport dealers with the Blue Oval’s ‘X Series’ (or ‘X’ Pack) kit which comprised an integrated front spoiler, flared fibreglass wheel arches all-round, wider alloy wheels, twenty percent more horsepower, uprated brakes / suspension and bespoke Scheel bucket seats etc. There was no such thing as a production ‘X-Series’ model. Although, Michael Kranefuss - Ford’s then Motor Sport Director – is reputed to have had 300 cars taken off the Saarlouis production line and despatched to Cologne for semi-official upgrading.

Built in Germany during February 1979 to left-hand drive specification, chassis GCATWK51757 migrated to the UK some thirty years later. Part of an impressive ‘Fast Ford’ collection prior to entering the current ownership in 2021, the previous keeper was reportedly adamant that ‘DHN 646T’ had been fitted with a ‘X-Series’ kit when new (or nearly new) by a Ford Rallye Sport dealer. The vendor further tells us that: “One of the main attractions when purchasing this vehicle was the condition of the bodyshell which appears to be unmolested, no signs of previous repairs, original spot welds and the original chassis number clearly stamped into the strut housing/inner wing”.

Treated to thousands of pounds worth of performance and handling enhancements in recent years, the RS2000 pleasingly retains its original engine, four-speed manual gearbox, propshaft, suspension and brakes etc should a new owner wish to reinstate them. These important parts can be collected from the seller’s Cheshire base and form part of the sale contract. As presented today, the Escort is powered by a 2.0 litre DOHC Zetec engine with uprated camshafts and Jenvey throttle bodies (running on a soft map delivering circa 175hp). The transmission has been changed to a Ford “Type 9” five-speed gearbox which incorporates straight-cut internals and a very tall 1st gear, while the propshaft is a single-piece item. All brake and fuel lines have been replaced and new fuel pumps and brake master cylinders have also been fitted along with front vented brake discs and 4-pot callipers. The suspension has been upgraded with Spax adjustable shock absorbers, new uprated springs, and top spring mounts. To finish off the significant upgrades the RS2000 now runs on 15-inch rims with all new tyres and a completely new stainless exhaust system.

Importantly, it is said that only quality parts supplied mainly by ‘Burton’ and ‘Retroford’ have been used in the upgrade work. ‘DHN 646T’ represents a rare opportunity to purchase a highly desirable ‘Fast Ford’ which is prepared to a very high standard and features many upgrades to enhance driveability on today’s roads. Offered with a UK V5C Registration Document and invoices detailing a lot of the parts and labour costs incurred.

2001 Porsche 996 Carrera

Cabriolet

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: Y818 NVX MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: WPOZZZ99215643050

Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: “This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before completely converted after!”

First registered on 01 April 2001, this stunning 996 Carrera Cabriolet is presented in the ever-popular Arctic Silver with contrasting Black interior, Blue soft-top and matching silver hardtop. This particular example boasts an impressive specification including factory optional GT3 style wheels, rear park assist, Porsche CDR22 Bose radio with CD autochanger, climate control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, PASM, electric mirrors and folding rear seats. After ownership spells in East Sussex and Surrey, the car was purchased in July 2009 by its last owner, a gentleman from Dorset. Over a 13-year ownership, the car was thoroughly enjoyed before being sold to its current owner earlier this year, who has now decided to compile the majority of his collection into a singularly more valuable vehicle, and so the vehicle is offered at auction. Now showing only 31,374 warranted miles from new and with an MOT valid until 12 July 2023, this presents a fantastic opportunity for a discerning collector or enthusiast.

Included with the vehicle is a comprehensive history file including the leather book pack which contains the radio booklet, driver’s manual, guarantee and maintenance manual which contains 12 main dealer/specialist stamps, with the most recent in June 2021 at 30,067 miles. Also included is every single MOT certificate from 2005 to present, a large collection of road tax reminders, a significant collection of previous invoices and the V5C document which displays 5 former keepers.

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

1.3 All relevant matters pertaining to the Lot such as a financial encumbrance, serious accident damage or other factors affecting value which are known to the Seller must be stated on the Entry Form. If a sale is lost because of the failure of the Seller to disclose to the Auctioneer all information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Lot, the Auctioneer will charge and the Seller must pay the stated rates (both to Seller and Buyer) plus VAT.

1.4 If the Seller wishes to retain the registration number of a Lot, it is the Seller’s responsibility to notify the Auctioneer in writing on the Entry Form. It is the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current registration number is retained and a new number allocated prior to the Lot being sold. If the Seller does not do so, the Auctioneer shall not be responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever and howsoever arising out of the Seller’s loss of the right to the registration number following the sale of the Lot.

2.1 The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion whether or not to accept any Lot for sale and shall be entitled to select the auction place, date, catalogue placement and photographs for the Lot.

2.2 The Seller gives the Auctioneer full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot placed in its hands for sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations as are provided by the Seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Sale), with indemnity against copyright infringement.

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

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

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

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

A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer.

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

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

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

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

(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

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.

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

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

13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.

13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so. Where the Auctioneer executes bids on behalf of an absent bidder, each Lot will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and any relevant Reserve.

14. The Buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer in respect of each Lot the Buyer’s Commission calculated on the Hammer Price at the stated rates as set out above.

15. Where a Lot is described in the Catalogue or announced at the time of Sale as being subject to VAT on import, VAT will be payable in addition to the Hammer Price (which VAT may or may not be refundable by HM Customs & Excise on proof of export).

16.1 Upon the sale of a Lot, the Buyer shall:

16.2 Unless he has already done so, complete a Bidder’s Registration Form as in Condition 12.5 above;

16.3 Pay to the Auctioneer the total amount due, at latest by midday on the day after the Sale, notwithstanding that where the Buyer wishes to export the Lot, an export licence may be required which must be obtained by the Buyer at his own cost;

16.4 Accept that any payments received by the Auctioneer from a Buyer may be applied by the Auctioneer towards any sums owing from that Buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatsoever, without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied.

17.1 Until the total amount due has been received by the Auctioneer:

(a) title in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer but the risk shall; (b) no Lot may be taken away by or on behalf of the Buyer.

17.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges and any other Expenses on any Lot not paid for and taken away 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due.

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

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

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

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

any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot.
