Notes for Intending Purchasers Prospective purchasers are respectfully advised to read the Terms and Conditions of Sale carefully before bidding on any lot, as they form the terms of your contract with us, whether or not you are a successful bidder. Admission H&H has the right at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason whatsoever, to refuse admission to any of its sales or indeed its premises to any person. The purchase of a catalogue does not constitute an entry ticket or guarantee entry. Bidder Registration To enable the Auctioneer to recognise bidders during the sale all intending buyers are required to complete a Bidder’s Registration Form. This will enable you to bid at the sale by means of a number allocated to you. All prospective bidders must complete the form giving full identification and appropriate references and produce identification, which will take the form of a current UK driving licence or passport. All Lots sold will be invoiced to the registered bidder. If you lose your catalogue or bidder’s number please notify reception immediately. References We reserve the right to request banker’s references from prospective purchasers and these should be supplied in time to allow them to be taken up prior to the sale. Failure to comply with this could result in the facility to bid being withdrawn. Currency Converter Solely for the convenience of bidders, a currency converter is provided at H&H sales. The rates quoted for conversion of other currencies to pounds sterling are indicative only and provided by our partner Currency Solutions. We will not be responsible for any errors, inaccuracies or omissions in the currency converter. Currency Solutions bank beating rates could end up saving you up to 5% on the cost of your sale or acquisition. Additionally, they can fix exchange rates “on the hammer” removing the risk of foreign exchange losses in the days after the auction. For further information, please contact +44 (0) 207 740 0000. Insurance A representative of Footman James Insurance Services will be in attendance and will be pleased to advise buyers in this area. Please be reminded that the insurance is the buyer’s responsibility from the fall of the hammer. Bidding Increments In the case of Commission, Telephone and Live and On-line Internet bidding, the following increments will apply. £1,000 - £2,000 £100 £2,000 - £5,000 £200/300 £5,000 - £10,000 £500 £10,000 - £20,000 £1,000 £20,000 - £50,000 £2,000/3,000 £50,000 - £100,000 £5,000 Over £100,000 At the Auctioneers discretion
Premium Purchasers are reminded that a Buyers’ Premium is payable on all lots and is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate. The rates are as follows: Motor Cars 12.5% Registrations 12.5% Motorcycles 12.5% Bicycles 12.5% Automobilia 12.5% 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 Banker’s Draft, Building Society Cheque, Visa Debit or Credit Card, Maestro, MasterCard, Cash up to £9,000 or Interbank Transfer by 12.00 noon the day following the sale. In any event purchasers are reminded that clearance of Lot(s) may only be effected once we have received cleared funds in our account.

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. Removal of Lots A representative of our preferred transport providers E.M. Rogers and Chas Mortimer will be present at the sale to assist with any transport requirements. All lots are held at the purchaser’s risk at the fall of the hammer and must be removed not later than 1pm on the day following the sale. Please note, if lot(s) are not removed by then the standard charges as stated in our Terms and Conditions will apply. Vehicle Identity and Competition History Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

MOTOR CARS 5 1993 MG R V8 1 of 139 UK-supplied BRG cars and 23,800 miles from new
ESTIMATE ÂŁ16000 - 20000 *
Launched at the 1992 Birmingham Motor Show, the RV8 signalled MG's return to the open sports car market. Just as the Cobra grew out of the less muscular AC Ace, so the RV8 evolved from the immortal MGB Roadster (hence the car's 'Project Adder' development code). Built around a thoroughly re-engineered and neatly restyled version of its predecessor's monocoque bodyshell, it was powered by a 3948cc V8 engine that developed some 190bhp and 318Nm of torque. Said to be capable of 135mph and 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds, the adoption of telescopic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars all round brought a notable improvement in handling. Trimmed to a high standard, its inviting interior boasted leather upholstery and rich wood veneers. Just 307 of the 1,982 cars made were UK-supplied (the majority going to retro hungry Japan). 1 of only 139 UK examples to be finished in British Racing Green with Stone Beige leather upholstery, chassis 000276 had covered 8,803 miles by the time it entered

the current ownership during August 2011. Purchased from a fellow MG enthusiast and christened 'Notre Talisman' by the vendor and his late wife in anticipation of the race meetings and rallies they wanted to attend, the RV8 replaced a TD and conveyed them to France and Germany with the MGCC (as well as on their own Continental adventures). Warranted to have covered just 23,800 miles from new, 'L7 BCO' has solely been used for special trips and events over the last eight years. Garaged when not in use, it has been serviced and looked after by the vendor's local classic car specialist with parts replaced on a maintenance basis (water pump, shock absorbers etc). Fitted with power steering, the MG last had its underside waxoyled in October 2017. Offered for sale with original book pack, 20th Anniversary keyring, limited edition burr elm gearknob, tool kit, numerous invoices and MOT certificate valid until 29th August 2019.

CHASSIS 3B-2944BW Jaguar's D-Type was not only one of the best looking cars ever to grace a race circuit, but one of the most successful too, winning arguably the toughest race of the all, the Le Mans 24 Hours, three years running. Original examples rarely come to market these days and, when they do, these multi-million pound vehicles are way beyond the pockets of ordinary mortals. For this reason there has for some time been a thriving market in evocations, of which the Ram ones are among the best.

ESTIMATE ÂŁ10000 - 12000 *
Production of BMW's E36 3 Series platform-based Z3 roadster had commenced in 1995 but development of a coupe version was left to a group of BMW engineers working in their own time. The resulting E36/8 coupe was unveiled at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show and shared the same platform and parts with the roadster but featured a chassis-stiffening hatch area and as a result was over two and a half times stiffer than the open car. Available from September 1998, the Z3 coupe was produced in 2.8, 3.0i and M Coupe variants. First registered in Japan via an authorised BMW dealership, this cosseted low mileage 2.8-litre example is to LHD specification and has covered just c.39,200km to date. Finished in BMW Titansilber complemented by a red leather interior it features four speed automatic transmission and is UK registered with current MOT to October 2019. Offered with Swansea V5C document and owner's wallet with service book, audio book and owner's manual, a letter on file from BMW confirms a build date of February 15th 2000 with delivery on March 2nd 2000 to BMW Japan Corporation. One of just c.7,600 2.8 coupes built, its specification includes air-conditioning, power steering, power windows, central locking, ABS, airbags, CD player, navigation system and sunroof.

righthand drive CSi was registered new in the Isle of Man in 1974 before moving to the mainland a couple of years later, since which year it has remained within the same family ownership and been dry stored for the last 18. It was treated to a comprehensive body, underside and mechanical restoration during the 1990s, but retains its original seats, carpets, headlining, door cards dashboard, wood trim, steering wheel and lever for its manual five-speed gearbox. 'WET 100K' currently displays an unwarranted but eminently credible 43,000 miles from new. Finished in Metallic Blue and trimmed in Beige cloth, it has recently been equipped with a new battery and is being offered complete with its proper BMW tool kit. BMW's so called 'New Class' compact Saloons and Coupes manufactured between 1962 and 1975 quite simply saved the company from extinction. Introduced in 1965, the 2000C and 2000CS Coupes featured distinctive-looking Karmannbuilt bodies and luxurious interiors and, having set a trend, were superseded in 1968 by the first of the E9 Coupes - the 2800CS. The length and wheelbase of the newcomer were extended to accommodate the 2788cc straight-six engine from the E3 Saloon, and the nose of the Karmann monocoque body was restyled to echo that of its four-door sibling. The 170bhp of the new, silky smooth powerplant was sufficient to propel the Coupe to 60mph in 8.5 seconds and on to a whisker under 130mph. The fully independent suspension was by MacPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear. Braking was still by disc/drums and the steering by a power-assisted
ball and nut system. The 2800CS was supplanted by the 3.0CS and 3.0CSi in 1971, for which the engine was bored out to give a capacity of 2986cc - in fuel-injected CSi guise, this produced 200bhp at 5,000rpm.

Built for just 13 months, 1967-1968, the TR5 arguably featured the best combination of looks, suspension and engine of all the Michelotti-penned Triumph Roadsters. Optional extras included overdrive, wire wheels and a Surrey Top with detachable roof panel. Visually identical to the TR4, the TR5 hid its key differences under the skin, the most significant of which was the engine - the first British production sports car unit to feature petrol injection. The 2498cc Lucas-fed straight-six developed a healthy 150bhp, allowing Motor magazine to record 8.3 seconds for the 0-60mph dash and a 117mph top speed. This powerplant was carried forward to the TR6, with the TR4/5 passenger cell being cleverly 'topped and tailed' by Karmann to create a sufficiently new looking model, but it's the TR5 that aficionados define as the most collectible of the series. Only 1,161 were built for the home market, against almost 8,500 carburettor-fuelled TR250s created for the American one.

Something of a wolf in sheep's clothing, the car has been uprated to fast road specification in all major departments.

The four-speed transmission has been refurbished with new bearings, centre pick-up and 3:1 differential. The suspension features a HILO system together with cones. Braking performance has also been increased courtesy of Cooper S front discs with Mintex 1114 pads and Cooper S rims on the rear. Last but not least, this mighty Mini now rides on reverse Cooper wheel rims shod with Yokohama A-008 tyres. Period extras include: an auxiliary Lucas rear reversing light, exterior rear-view mirrors, quick-release radiator grille, wood rim steering wheel, electronic rev-counter and auxiliary battery and oil pressure instrumentation, roof-mounted radio aerial, and leather bonnet strap. The Morris currently displays 90,000 miles and now seeks a new owner who can enjoy its performance to the full. The first Mini Cooper appeared in 1961, following a tie-up with champion F1 constructor John Cooper.

Included in the history file is the original leather service book which has 10 service stamps, the original bill of sale from 1993 showing a sale price of £30,000 and the original order form detailing specifications and optional extras. First registered to the owner of TVR dealership 'Henley TVR Heritage', the car remained in his ownership until 2017 when it was sold to its second registered keeper. Between the years 1997 to 2002 the car was in storage covering only c.3000 miles in this time period. Since 2007 it has had very little use covering an average of 300 miles a year. Paint and trim are both said to be in "beautiful condition with next to no signs of wear". The removable factory hard top is present with no tears and is said to be "fully water tight" whilst the chassis is described as being in "excellent overall condition". Offered with Swansea V5 document, this low mileage example with just two registered keepers is expected to possess a fresh MOT in time for the sale.

ESTIMATE NO RESERVE *
For most of its life, the Panther De Ville was Britain's most expensive production car, and it is easy to see why. Using mainly Jaguar mechanicals (including a straight-six or V12), the tubular-framed De Ville took styling cues from the Bugatti Royale and was beautifully constructed at Robert Jankel's Panther Westwinds facility at Weybridge. Interiors were opulent and well-appointed, often including drinks cabinets and televisions, and the car was offered as a four-door saloon or a convertible (although one sixdoor limousine was built). Clients were rich and generally ostentatious; famous owners included Oliver Reed and Elton John, and Cruella De Ville (played by Glenn Close) famously drove a black and white example in the film 101 Dalmatians. This 1981 De Ville from the Ian Grange Collection is well appointed in black coachwork and a red leather interior with contrasting black piping. It has factory-fitted electric sunroof and air conditioning units, the latter having been refurbished with new condenser, pipes and seals. The car is fitted with the larger 5343cc Jaguar V12 engine mated to an automatic gearbox and the car runs on chrome wire wheels. Today, its Jaguar underpinnings making it relatively easy to drive and maintain, and a thriving owners club offering strong support, make the Panther De Ville an attractive and rare (only around 60 were made) classic sports car. This left-hand drive example, bearing the registration 'ULA 802W' comes complete with a history file, V5 and current MOT valid until 13th February 2020. Indeed, records show a regular annual MOT history back to 2010.

At the end of WW2 the Bristol Aeroplane Company found themselves with a surplus of skilled labour and a reduced order book. As a result, the Filton-based business decided to diversify into the prestige car market and, benefitting from the reparations benefit of pre-War BMW designs, were able to quickly develop their own car; in the autumn of 1946 the Bristol Car Division unveiled the 400 saloon powered by a Filton- built, mildly modified version of the BMW 328 engine. The 406 two-door saloon introduced in 1957 was the last of the Filton-engined Bristols, its OHV straight-six pushrod engine fed by triple Solex carburettors having been enlarged to 2,216cc to try to compete with the more modern powerpacks offered by Bristol's competition, and now known as the 'Bristol 110 Series'. It was identified by the absence of the then-familiar bonnet scoop of its predecessors and was one of the first saloon cars of its class to feature disc brakes on all four wheels. Just 174 examples of the model were built. This particular Bristol 406 has a fascinating history, having been previously registered to Tony Crook, director of

The all-steel 'Fortress of Safety' bodywork wore a new 'Fencer's Mask' grille, but it was under the coachwork where most of the advances came.

Launched in 1975, the Camargue was the flagship of the Rolls-Royce range. With bodywork by Paulo Martin of Pininfarina and built by Mulliner Park Ward, it was the first post-war production Rolls-Royce not designed in-house and was Britain's most expensive production car at launch, selling for £29,250. The car made use of many mechanical components from other Rolls-Royce models: the mildly uprated 6750cc engine was from the Silver Shadow as was the three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The result was a powerful and comfortable two-door saloon with acres of space and a phenomenal road presence. This particular Camargue from the Ian Grange Collection is a rare right-hand drive example, one of just 150-or-so from a total production run of 531. It has a fascinating history and was originally the property of Sheikh Saleh Al Shardi of London. The car is extremely well presented in Brewster Green with Parchment hide, dark green piping, a full hide headlining and a Dark Green top roll, with Beige Wilton carpets finishing an impressive interior specification. UK registered as 'B49 FNO', the car benefits from the rangetopping extras you would expect including power-assisted steering, electric seats, mirrors and aerial, central locking, and (at the time) an advanced split area air conditioning system. 1980s charm is provided by the original Blaupunkt radio/cassette player and a period fitted carphone. Originally fitted with the Rolls-Royce sports pack suspension, the car has been upgraded to a Harvey Bailey handling kit with Turbo R wheels.

This unique and desirable fast Ford was built for the personal use of David Brodie of renowned tuners Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR). It was constructed from a brand new Ford Motorsport shell on which the seams had first been welded and the cavities foam filled. It was treated to a full RS500 bodykit save for the lower of the two rear wings. All the mechanicals were new, and the 2.0-litre turbo engine equipped with a BBR gas-flowed big port head and big-bore stainless steel exhaust system. The output is currently understood to be a relatively modest 265bhp, but could readily be increased to 365bhp, courtesy of larger fuel injectors etc. The fourwheel drive transmission boasts a Ferguson limited slip differential, while the bespoke BBR suspension includes uprated dampers and the multispoke alloy wheels (including the spare) are shod with fresh Toyo 215/45 R15 tyres. This fascinating car has been dry stored since birth, save for the 924 miles that have been accrued on trade plates. It could now be retained as a very effective track day special, or road registered following an SVA test. It is finished in a striking shade of Deep Metallic Red and trimmed in Grey cloth. Not only is David Brodie the car’s sole owner to date, but also its only driver so there’s nobody better to judge its current condition, and he has no hesitation in considering the two-door bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in ‘excellent’ order. The potent Sierra RS Cosworth model was produced by Ford between 1986 and 1992, the prime purpose of which was to gain homologation for Group A Touring Car racing, though it was ultimately pressed into service for rallying too. It was extremely successful – especially in its ultimate RS500 form, in which it won 15 national race series.

The phrase 'pocket rocket' could well have been coined for 'P100 BBR', an astonishing Mini with no less than 350bhp on tap, which featured on BBC Top Gear in 2006. It was converted when new by renowned go-faster specialists Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR), with the intention of making it the fastest Cooper S on the planet and, according to the vendor, it remains so to this day. Small wonder then that the total cost, including the purchase of the standard car, was in excess of £90,000. The completely reworked engine features: a big valve head; BBR cam; solid tappets; turbocharger in place of the original supercharge; high-flow fuel system; remapped ECU; oil cooler plus high-flow water pump and radiator to keep the temperatures under control; and a big bore exhaust system and stainless steel downpipes to ensure the gases exit with optimum efficiency. So potent an ensemble naturally required related uprates to the running gear and chassis, which included: a limited slip differential; anti-torque steer suspension; Polybush kit; bigger, ventilated disc brakes, and braided hoses; F1 Goodyear Eagle tyres. This monster of a Mini is equipped with a 'Works' bodykit and finished in the strident combination of Crystal Light Blue teamed with a White roof, alloy wheels and mirror casings. The full Recaro interior is trimmed in Dark Blue hide complemented by Mid Blue carpets. The mileage covered to date is understood to be a mere 5,500 or so, and the Cooper S comes complete with the suitably apt registration 'P100 BBR' plus its original service record and owners' handbook, and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and six-speed manual transmission. Purchasers of BMW Minis have been encouraged to customise them from day one, but this breathtaking example arguably takes the idea to a whole new level!

You haven't seen exhaust pipes until you've set eyes on the spectacular line of six polished stainless steel ones that burst from the engine bay of 'HCT 705', and terminate in an equally shiny sill-mounted silencer and pair of stubby side pipes. Lurking below the nose of the lightweight GRP, carbon fibre and kevlar body is a 4.2-litre Jaguar XJ6 engine modified complete with: D profile Kent camshaft; ported cylinder head; raised compression ratio of 9:1; lightened flywheel; and trio of SU carburettors. Finished in Silver and trimmed in Blue leather, this factory-built righthand drive W152 is now being made available complete with woodrim steering wheel, engine-turned facia, pair of aeroscreens, full harness seat belts, original order form, sales brochure and workshop manual, plus a collection of old MOTs and club bulletins. It is currently regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' doorless, two-seater bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, straight-six XK engine and fourspeed manual gearbox. Vroom, vroom! The W152 was the first car to be designed and built by Ronart Cars, which was founded in 1984 by Rona and Arthur Wolstenholme and launched at the 1985 International Classic Car Show, with production commencing the following year. Of original conception, the design was intended to reflect the style of the front-engined Formula One cars of the 1950s, of which the humped headrest and external exhaust are typical ingredients. The car is built around a backbone chassis and clothed in an 11-piece body comprising: centre tub section, nose cone, bonnet, front side panels, rear section, boot lid and quartet of cycle wings. The centre section is reinforced with a steel cage, to which a rollover bar is firmly attached; the tip of which is cunningly secreted under the driver's head rest. On MKII versions, such as the sale car, a boot is built into the rear section.

By 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the allimportant American market threatened to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. "The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear without even a gearchange to interrupt one's headlong dash into the distance" (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space and in conjunction with wider front / rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheelarches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior. Only 1,872 right-hand drive E-type V12 Roadsters are thought to have been made. First registered as `CTO 919K' by Nottingham Council on 20th March 1972, chassis 1S1162 has been in the current ownership for thirty-one years. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Jaguar has recently been brought up to MOT standard following a decade and a half of dry storage (though, further recommissioning would be advisable prior to any sustained road use). A desirable manual transmission example that retains its original factory-fitted engine, this tempting home market E-Type V12 Roadster is worthy of close inspection. Showing an unwarranted 66,500 miles to its odometer, the two-seater is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until March 2020.

Rootes saw the potential for performing a similar operation on the stylish but rather pedestrian Sunbeam Alpine, and Ford's 4.2-litre (260ci) 'Windsor' unit was again found to be the appropriate powerplant. The 164bhp engine endowed the car with a top speed of around 120mph and a 0-60mph acceleration of under eight seconds. A total of some 7,085 Sunbeam Tigers were eventually produced, including 536 of the rare 4.7 litre MKIIs.

Created by the vendor for use in VSCC hillclimb and speed events, this extremely attractive aluminium bodied special is only being offered for sale due to his retirement from competition. Comprising a shortened 8'2" chassis sourced from the remains of a Triumph Gloria saloon purchased in 2015, DS 1910 is powered by a 1929 Ford Model A engine displacing some 3.3-litres driving through an Alvis Speed 25 all synchromesh gearbox. Retaining a 4.75:1 rear axle and hydraulic brakes with Luvax shock absorbers, the car's 18" 42mm hub wheels are fitted with 5.50 Blockley tyres. We are advised the engine has been newly bored, ground and white metalled and benefits from a Brierley fast camshaft, high compression cylinder head, unleaded valves /seats and breathes through twin SU carburettors fed by a Facet red fuel pump with Filter King fuel pressure filter / regulator from an 8-gallon aluminium fuel tank. Painted in Jaguar Racing Green with black leather seats, detachable aero screens or a detachable windscreen with wipers may be fitted for road use. Now said to be "ready to compete" with regulation oil and radiator catch tanks, fire extinguisher and timing strut, the car has previously passed inspection by MSA scrutineers. Offered with VSCC Eligibility Document dated January 2018 and Swansea V5 document it has the potential to be very competitive in the right hands in its current form whilst the Alvis gearbox should be more than able to cope with more power if a new owner wished to develop the engine further.

Up until September 2003, when the car had covered c.30,400 miles, it had always been cared for by Paramount Cardiff whilst the accompanying service record bears stamps from the pre-delivery inspection carried out on 29 August 1996 up to 25 March 2015 (37,121 miles), since when we understand the car has mostly been in storage.

Bentley's first post-war motorcar was the MKVI of 1946. A handsome four-door, four-light Saloon, it was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factorydesigned coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. MKVI production continued until June 1952 when the model was supplanted by the similar-looking R-Type - the newcomer's principle point of recognition being the much longer boot capped by a one-piece alloy lid - gone too were the rear spats to be replaced by shapely flowing wings. The net result was a body 7.5 inches longer and the now welded chassis was extended by the same amount. Detailed changes included an automatic choke, two-speed wipers and rear window de-mister. In October the same year, the General Motors four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission was made an option and became the standard fit from 1954 onwards. As tested by Autocar, the R-Type could reach 60mph in 13.8 seconds and achieve a very respectable terminal speed of just over 100mph. A total of 2,528 R-Types were made all told. 2,320 of these were fitted with the so-called 'Standard Steel' body, but 303 featured coachbuilt ones in the traditional manner of Bentleys from the past. A notable case in point is the James Young Saloon offered here, that starred on that company's stand at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. First owned by Neild & Son Ltd, it is one of just six R-Types built to body design C14. It currently displays just 71,800 miles and comes complete with MOT certificates dating back to 1979, green log book, chassis card, original handbook and a large collection of invoices. Finished in Black over Grey and trimmed in Grey leather, 'OXM 618' has recently benefited from an engine service, new tyres and attention to the brakes.

ESTIMATE ÂŁ18000 - 22000 *
This tidy-looking 260Z is a lefthand drive example manufactured in December 1974. Its well-presented Silver bodywork is matched to the original, damage-free Black PVC interior trim. The lusty straight-six engine drives through a four-speed manual gearbox, and this Z car's total recorded mileage to date is a relatively humble 62,000. In summary, 'CDE 230M' would appear to be a representative example of a fun model of sports car all too rarely seen on British roads, and it comes complete with its original owner's manual, service booklet and sales brochure. The Z series would never have made production without the enthusiastic backing of Nissan USA's President Yutaka Katayama. A small team headed by Yoshihiko Matsuo developed the project and the inaugural version, the 240Z, made its debut in 1969. It was a smash hit Stateside, achieving an average of 45,000 sales per annum between 1971 and 1973. However, though popular in the UK with those still mourning the passing of the not dissimilar AustinHealey 3000, its overall success was hampered by the combination of a high purchase price and residual antiJapanese sentiment. The straight-six (L24) motor was a revelation in driveability and would scream to its high-for-the-day 6500rpm redline, whilst the rugged all-round independent MacPherson strut suspension allowed for hooligan driving in a league beyond that of its natural competitor of the day, the 3-litre Capri. Arriving during 1973, the ensuing 260Z had a more adult, GT-esque feel about it, and was powered by an enlarged 2565cc engine (hence the '260' nomenclature). The newcomer further benefited from a strengthened floorpan / chassis rails and the adoption of a rear anti-roll bar.

ESTIMATE ÂŁ14000 - 18000 *
Announced at the London Motor Show of 1955, the Sunbeam Rapier was the first of a new range of Rootes cars that was soon to include the Hillman Minx and the Singer Gazelle. A complete departure from the Sunbeam MKIII it replaced, it was a modern-looking two-door, fourseat Coupe. Standard equipment included leather trim and overdrive and the cars were finished in a selection of attractive two-tone colour schemes. The bodies were built by Pressed Steel, shipped to Thrupp & Maberly in London for painting and trimming and then moved to the Rootes plant at Ryton-on-Dunsmore for final assembly. Though initially a little underpowered, the Rapier had inherently excellent handling and was quickly adopted for rallying. Indeed the launch of the Series II version took place at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally in which Peter Harper's Works Rapier had finished fifth overall. Some 15,151 Series IIs had been produced by the time the model was eclipsed by the Series III in 1959. The lovely concours-winning Series II on offer is one of the best we've seen for a while, being in almost as new condition with a recorded mileage of just 11,220 to date and three owners from new. The Sunbeam is finished in Deco Cream and Light Blue matched to a Cream-piped Light Blue interior. These days, '8183 AC' is powered by a 1750cc Rootes engine rather than its original 1494cc unit. It drives through a replacement overdrive gearbox. Recent maintenance has seen the radiator; fuel pump and filter; hoses and drive belts; all replaced with new items. The vendor has owned the Rapier since 1986 and currently rates the bodywork, two-tone paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. A time warp example of a much loved model.

CHASSIS UE1S23908BW The last E-Type Jaguar rolled off the production line in 1975, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations, its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motorcar. It made its debut at the 1961 Geneva motorshow and was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph.

was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964. With the change came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. For 1966, a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range. It was nine inches longer and featured a more vertical windscreen. The Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971, virtually all of which were fitted with Jaguar's new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as Roadster or 2+2 Coupe. Production continued until the model was superseded by the XJS in 1975, by which time some 15,000 V12-engined

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis TS12856 was built as a RHD, home market TR3 on 22nd August 1956. However, for reasons unknown, it was not issued with the Warwickshire registration number 'WNX 525' until 17th June 1957. A handwritten letter on file suggests that the Triumph was updated to TR3A appearance early in its life, perhaps by the factory, supplying dealer or first owner? Whatever the case, the 2+2-seater sports the wider radiator grille, front disc brakes, exterior door handles and lockable boot handle that typically identify its younger sibling. Treated to an extensive restoration by then custodian W. Harrison Esq from 1985 to 1987, the Triumph had attention paid to its bodywork, interior, brakes, suspension, gearbox (plus overdrive), brightwork and engine etc. Refinished in White with Black upholstery (piped White), the TR subsequently belonged to Sir John Robson Rogers between 1993 and 1998. Executive Chairman of the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association and Vice Chairman of the Royal Automobile Club at the time, Sir John apparently had quite a lot of fettling and checking done to the car including a chassis analysis by Rubery Owen before trading it in with dealer Neil Crabb against a Maserati Mistral Spider!

ESTIMATE NO RESERVE *
The post-War Lincoln Continental was an ultra-exclusive, hand-made car aimed at the wealthy American upper classes. A design icon - it was chosen by New York's Museum of Modern Art as an automotive artwork - the car was the brainchild of Edsel Ford and appealed to many Hollywood celebrities. Indeed, the list price of $4,746 - more than two and a half times the cost of that year's Ford V-8 Convertible - put off all but the very rich, and the car was made in very limited numbers. Post- WW2 Lincolns were the only such American cars powered by a V-12 engine, and the Continental's 4998cc (305 CID) flathead engine with single twin-barrel carburettor produced a healthy 130bhp at 3,600 rpm coupled to a 3-speed manual column-shift gearbox. I-beam front suspension and a live rear axle with leaf springs, plus four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes gave a reassuring ride. With hydraulic hood and windows, push-button door handles, rear spats and distinctive outside rear spare wheel cover in steel, the car was the height of luxury. This particular Continental from the Ian Grange Collection was imported into the UK in 1999 and we have been informed that it previously spent a long time in a private Swiss collection. The history file displays invoices showing the body was stripped to bare metal in 2011 and repainted in metallic burgundy from a rust-free base at a cost of ÂŁ19,200. The interior is lined in black leather piped in red with a transparent steering wheel in maroon and a black-lined hood.

The car is described as running and driving and shows 78,769 miles. Inside, the right-hand drive car is trimmed as one might expect for a car of this quality: Savoy velvet upholstery in an attractive blue-grey tone in the passenger compartment, and Oatmeal leather to the front. Full-width foldaway leather occasional seats are fitted.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION Rolls-Royce's takeover of Bentley Motors Ltd in 1931

prompted the founding of a new Service Department for the latter's existing customers (many of whose cars were still under warranty). Based at the Kingsbury Works, Hendon, North London and staffed by exCricklewood stalwarts such as Nobby Clarke (former Racing Team Manager) and Hubert Pike (ex-Director), the new concern inherited a large cache of new old stock and reconditioned parts. Maintenance and repair work on W.O. Bentleys began to tail off during 1936 as the last of the five year guarantees expired. Determined to keep the Service Department busy, Clarke and Pike came up with the idea of building ten R.C. (Reconditioned Chassis) Series cars - six 4½ Litres and four 3 Litres. Writing to The Chief Officer, Local Taxation Department, Middlesex County Council, Dean Stanley Street, Westminster, SW1 on May 22nd 1936, Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd stated its intention to produce a series of 'reconditioned old type Bentleys constructed mainly from new parts and having therefore, no previous registration'. Allocated the chassis numbers RC41 - RC46, the six 4½ Litre cars were built to a highly desirable specification incorporating a 10ft 10in wheelbase chassis, standard crank 4½ Litre engine, D Type gearbox, 3.53 Speed Six-type rear axle, servo type self-wrapping front brakes with heavy type front axle and 4 Litre steering gear.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION The same publication ran a story on the Tourer in
72
its April 1965 issue, Mr Blackham commenting: 'Continuous cruising speeds of 70, 75 and 80mph are used regularly on the motorways with much higher speeds maintained briefly on occasions . . . Handling on the road is superb, with complete freedom from roll, the whole car always feeling taut, but strong-arm techniques are needed at times when cornering fast on indifferent surfaces. This latter characteristic is to me one of the great joys of Vintage motoring . . . With a good power / weight ratio (weight is deceptively low at only 36cwt), immense torque at medium engine revs, and high-geared steering, even driving in busy towns can be a pleasure . . . As might be expected the engine is extremely lively in its response to the throttle and yet the car lacks nothing in tractability'. Unhappy with the aesthetics of the hood Vanden Plas had designed, Mr Blackham devised his own frame that sat within the body when folded. He also shortened the gear / handbrake levers, lowered the radiator by threequarters of an inch and fabricated a front valance panel. Importantly, however, he made no substantial changes to the essence of the car which his family christened 'Blob' on account of its 'blob, blob, blob' exhaust note when idling in London traffic! Actually resident in Stockport, Cheshire for most of Mr Blackham's tenure, the Bentley participated in The Daily Telegraph's 1969 Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run. MOT paperwork on file ranges from a Test Certificate issued by Joseph Cockshoot (Stockport) Ltd on 21st April 1962 through to an Inspection Report Pass granted on November 7th 1988. Dormant for the last thirty years, the 4½ Litre is now in need of extensive restoration.

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

CHASSIS 1R11409 Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the E-Type created a furore. Its combination of supercar performance, superb styling and low-price tag was unrivalled. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. A monocoque with front sub-frame to cradle the engine, its combination of all-round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack and pinion steering gave it ex-cellent road holding and handling capabilities.

US versions of the engine were fitted with a pair of Zenith-Stromberg carburettors rather than the triple SUs of the home cars. The suspension was independent all round with wishbones and torsion bars at the front and wishbones, radius arms and twin coil springs at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted Dunlop discs all round; inboard at the rear. The steering was a rack and pinion system by Alford and Alder. Production figures vary slightly depending on the source, but approximately 9,548 4.2-litre Roadsters were built between 1964 and 1968, 1,182 of which were equipped with righthand drive steering.

By 1971, Jaguar's jaw dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all important US market threatened to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sports car fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. With some 272bhp and 304 lb ft of torque on tap, the Series 3 once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space and, together with wider tracks front and rear, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheelarches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, it also benefited from vented disc brakes and restyled interior. Production of the Series 3 cars continued until the entire model range was superseded by the XJS in 1975; by which time some 15,000 V12-engined versions had been produced - most of which were exported to North America.

The Mark V was unveiled on 30 September 1948 and launched on 27 October 1948 at the London Motor Show, sharing the stand with the XK120. Whilst the XK120 stole the show, the Mark V vastly outsold it by roughly 5,000 cars per year as compared to 2,000 cars per year for the XK120. The Mark V retained the 1946-48 driveline including the overhead-valve pushrod straight-six 2.5 and 3.5-litre engines. The chassis was new, however, with independent front suspension by double wishbones and torsion bar, a feature of many future offerings from Jaguar. It also had hydraulic brakes and an all pressed steel body. Just 108 RHD 3.5-litre drophead coupes were produced as most were built for the LHD export market. This original home market 3.5-litre example was first licensed on 9 February 1951 under registration number NKM 645 to a John Richard Hubble of Canterbury, Kent. The car remained in his ownership until 1962 and the accompanying buff logbook records subsequent keepers up to the 1970s. It has been in the current family ownership since 2002, having been restored by the late owner following its purchase and subsequently enjoyed on touring events in both the UK and Europe. Originally finished in Pastel Blue, at some point this has been changed to white which we have to say complements the rich red leather and burr walnut veneers beautifully. Offered with tool kit, assorted old MOTs, Swansea V5c document and R.F.60 logbook, NKM 645 is only now being reluctantly offered for sale due to bereavement.

Launched at the 1954 Motor Show, the XK140 boasted the same bewitching styling as its forebear but allied it to a host of mechanical improvements. Chief among these was the adoption of rack and pinion steering. Though, the fitment of telescopic shock absorbers (in place of the XK120's antiquated lever arm dampers) also had a noticeably beneficial effect on handling / roadholding. With its engine and bulkhead repositioned three inches further forward, the new model enjoyed a notably roomier cabin (the fixed and drophead coupe variants gaining occasional rear seats as a result). Available in 'standard', 'special equipment' or 'special equipment plus C-type cylinder head' guises, power and torque outputs ranged from a quoted 190bhp/210lbft to 210bhp/213lbft. Distinguished by its one-piece bumpers and simpler, more imposing radiator grille, the XK140 was among the fastest cars of its generation. Reputedly capable of over 130mph, it focused public consciousness on Jaguar's continued success at Le Mans (the Coventry marque winning the endurance classic in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957).

He retained the Jaguar until 1971 before selling it to a Mr Sturrock with 23,000 on the odometer.

The Mark X, later renamed the 420G, was Jaguar's top-of-the-range Saloon from 1961 to 1970. Large and luxurious, it was primarily aimed at the United States market, where it was intended to appeal to heads of state, diplomats and film stars. Introduced in the same year as the iconic E-Type, it impressed with its technical specification and, at less than half the price of the contemporary Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, was astonishing value for money. The model was replaced by the XJ6 after a production run of 24,282 cars.

In short, it was an 800cc diesel-powered plug-in hybrid weighing just 795kg all up. When required, it would run on its zero emission electric motor alone, with a range of 50km (31 miles) - ie enough to transport occupants to their local supermarket.

Friction optimised wheel bearings and driveshafts and low-rolling resistance Michelin tyres additionally contributed to the low energy consumption of this technologically advanced masterpiece. Gullwing doors and shrouded rear wheels helped to minimise the drag coefficient, as did cameras (e-mirrors) instead of traditional exterior rear-view mirrors. A drag coefficient of just 0.186, makes it the world's most aerodynamic road-going production car to date, only 200 of which were built, of which just 27 were imported to the UK.

The E-Type's Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be the most striking ever to adorn a motorcar. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top in a pole of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time' and, like the XK150 before it, it was born of Jaguar's competition successes on the race tracks of Europe. The E-Type, or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon, where its unique combination of grace and pace stole the show. From birth the car was available as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster, and, like the XK120 before it, was the fastest pro-duction car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of around seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. The Series 2 models introduced in 1969 are distinguished by their lack of headlamp covers, enlarged front air intake, larger front and rear indicators and tail lights, wrap-around rear bumper, twin-electric fans, uprated brakes and refashioned facia and seats. This particular matching numbers, lefthand drive Series 2 Roadster is offered complete with both hood frame and factory-fitted hardtop. It was manufactured on July 8, 1969, dis-patched to British Leyland New York the following week, and features Sable-coloured bod-ywork matched to Beige hide interior trim. It appears to be complete, but will take a little more than a wash and polish to return it to the road, and was in fact singled out by a marque expert as ripe for a full restoration. It is NOVA declared and comes with heritage certificate.

However, there are those who can never have too much power and will therefore clamour for 'S384 KRV'. It's not only equipped with a Powers Taraka engine conversion, but: uprated radiator, close-ratio gearbox, AP Racing brakes, Gaz Gold coilover suspension, and 17/18 inch wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres. Finished in Silver and trimmed in contrasting Red leather, this baby supercar has had four owners from new, who've amassed 54,365 miles between them, and is judged by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, upholstery, V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox, and to be in 'good overall condition with just a few stone chips on the front'. It is offered with its original sales and other invoices, plus old MOTs and one valid into August.

Seller means the person who offers the Lot for sale whether or not he is the true owner.
1.2 Any documentation pertaining to the Lot must be sent
109
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

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.
estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none; (b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none, (c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value; (d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses; 5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller. 6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14. 7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either: (a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively) (b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.
4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.
8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.
5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the
9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made: (a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller
shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot;
10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds
(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.
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.
9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission. 10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk. 10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer. 10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer. 10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier. 10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.
11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer. CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER 12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.
12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary. 12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal. 12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again. 12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides. 12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale. 13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name. 13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so. Where the
111
Auctioneer executes bids on behalf of an absent bidder, each Lot will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and any relevant Reserve. 14. The Buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer in respect of each Lot the Buyer’s Commission calculated on the Hammer Price at the stated rates as set out above. 15. Where a Lot is described in the Catalogue or announced at the time of Sale as being subject to VAT on import, VAT will be payable in addition to the Hammer Price (which VAT may or may not be refundable by HM Customs & Excise on proof of export). 16.1 Upon the sale of a Lot, the Buyer shall: 16.2 Unless he has already done so, complete a Bidder’s Registration Form as in Condition 12.5 above; 16.3 Pay to the Auctioneer the total amount due, at latest by midday on the day after the Sale, notwithstanding that where the Buyer wishes to export the Lot, an export licence may be required which must be obtained by the Buyer at his own cost; 16.4 Accept that any payments received by the Auctioneer from a Buyer may be applied by the Auctioneer towards any sums owing from that Buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatsoever, without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied. 17.1 Until the total amount due has been received by the Auctioneer: (a) title in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer but the risk shall; (b) no Lot may be taken away by or on behalf of the Buyer. 17.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges and any other Expenses on any Lot not paid for and taken away by 1pm on the day following the day of the sale. 18.1 If a Buyer fails either to pay for or to take away any Lot, the Auctioneer may without further notice to the Buyer, at its discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies, as may be relevant, in relation to any and all remedies for non-payment that the Auctioneer may choose to exercise. The Buyer will pay to the Auctioneer all legal and other costs borne by it on a full indemnity basis. 18.2 To charge interest at a rate not exceeding 3% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3 for the first two months. After that period of time to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.75% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3.
112
18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions. 18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed. 18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller. 18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot. 18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due. 18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose. 18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future. 19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not. 19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot. GENERAL CONDITIONS 20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.
21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period.
