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.

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.

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.

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.

Trade in motorsport ephemera is a popular pastime among enthusiasts. Inevitably, the more famous the drivers the more sought after the items and - let’s face it drivers don¹t really come more famous than seven times World Champion, Michael Schumacher. So, take note all you Schumi fans; while you¹re unlikely to ever own one of the cars he raced, you can now acquire a pit bike he rode on many occasions - which is why we’re somewhat unusually offering a scooter at what is otherwise a collectors’ car sale. The bike in question is a 2006 Honda PES125 that was owned by Honda and apparently supplied in the team livery of Silver and Pale Green to Mercedes for use by Schumacher during his time with the Mercedes-GP Petronas F1 Team - i.e. between 2010 and 2012. According to the vendor, this fascinating piece of F1 history is offered with ‘excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission. A rare opportunity.

CHASSIS SG001

CHASSIS MA2T5.D.1250734M

This uncompromising little two-seater road car is fondly known among Frank Costin

Designed by Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Morris Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show. There were two variants at launch - a twodoor Saloon and Tourer. The four-door Saloon followed in 1950 and the popular Traveller, Van and Pick-up versions completed the range two years later. Equipped with independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel drum brakes, the Morris Minor was practical, economical and fun to drive. Revamped in 1952, 1956 and 1962, the latter redesign encompassed an enlarged 1098cc engine, improved facia and bigger brakes etc. The final Tourer was manufactured on 18th August 1969.

enthusiasts as ‘The Dustbin’ or ‘The Mule’ but, don’t be fooled, for in true Costin style it is an incredibly light and capable vehicle. The aluminium-bodied spaceframe chassis features racing-style double wishbone front suspension, and is powered by a BMC A Series mounted in the rear, driving the rear wheels. The car carries the chassis number SG01, in which SG stands for Simon Garrett, a man who collaborated with Costin on a number of projects and went on to design the Bluebird that broke the World Land Speed record for electric vehicles at Pendine in 2000 - he is, however, arguably better known as an artist. Registered on a Q plate and always dry stored, this fascinating Costin prototype is currently a non-runner, so will require a degree of recommissioning before taking to the roads once more. It comes complete with a current-type V5 log book.

2 1969 MORRIS MINOR 1000

Finished in the attractive combination of Old English White with Red upholstery, this notably late example - a genuine factory Tourer as denoted by the `T’ in its chassis number - is variously described by the vendor as being in `very good’ (engine, electrical equipment, interior trim) or `excellent’ (bodywork, paintwork, gearbox) overall condition. Treated to an extensive restoration during 2015 that reportedly saw circa £8,600 spent on body panels and associated labour, the Morris is also understood to have benefited from a new hood and engine overhaul. A highly presentable, inexpensive and very characterful four-seater Tourer.

MOTOR CARS 9 1983 PORSCHE 911 SC TARGA Current ownership since 1988

ESTIMATE NO RESERVE *

Extraordinary as it may seem 40 years hence, by the time Porsche launched the SC in preparation for the 1978 model year, the 911 line was supposed to be in its death throes and soon to be replaced by the vastly different 928. However sales of the old timer held up far better than expected and the model won a last minute reprieve - a decision enthusiasts the world over have celebrated ever since. The newcomer incorporated the same luxury features as its 2.7 Carrera forbear, but featured an engine of rather different construction, size and character. The crankcase was now of aluminium and the crankshaft stronger with larger bearings, while the capacity had risen from 2687 to 2994cc. The unit was fed by Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and drove through the 915 series five-speed gearbox. The power output of the early SCs was actually 20 horsepower down on that of its predecessor (180 as opposed to 200bhp). However, new camshafts endowed the unit with a higher, flatter torque curve that made the car easier to drive and virtually as quick overall. Nevertheless, the output was increased to 188bhp in 1979 and 204bhp in 1981. Production of the SC ran until 1983, when it was replaced by the ‘80 per cent new’ Carrera 3.2. A total of 57,135 SCs were manufactured, 21,548 of which had the optional Targa body. This SC Targa was supplied new in 1983 by Roger Clark Porsche and has remained in its current ownership since 1988. Finished in Deep Metallic Red and trimmed in Beige leather, ‘LBH 342Y’ presently registers an unwarranted 53,000 miles and was treated to a major

CHASSIS SCFAA1115XK102666 `T646 FUM’ is no ordinary DB7, being a rare oneowner-from-new automatic transmission example that has covered just 54,500 miles to date. Finished in Metallic Green and trimmed in Cream hide it benefits from such factory-fitted upgrades as the appropriate styling kit and larger brake discs operated by AP Racing calipers. A further part of the special order was the substitution of rear seats by a dedicated luggage area. The Aston was apparently treated to an extensive c.£30,000 restoration by Bamford Rose

in 2014, work which included: a total repaint with all new seals; overhaul of the gearbox and differential; new brake discs and pads and refurbishment of the calipers; overhauling of the suspension; attention to the leather upholstery; refurbishment of the alloy wheels; and a comprehensive service. The attractive car is now available complete with Tracker, its original handbook and sales brochure, and a collection of invoices for work carried out over the years. Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR know-how for a new generation, `small’ Aston Martin to become reality. Unveiled at the 1993 Geneva Salon, the DB7

revived the nomenclature of the much vaunted and now highly collectable David Brown Astons of the `50s and `60s, but had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque’s previous models. Power came from a supercharged, Jaguarderived, straight-six DOHC unit of 3.2-litres capacity, that delivered 335bhp and 361 lb ft of torque. This was sufficient to propel the 1800kg 2+2 to 60mph in 5.7 seconds and to a top speed of around 165mph. The body structure comprised a steel monocoque chassis part clad with a mix of steel and moulded plastic panels. The luxurious interior was dominated by Connolly hide and walnut. Some 7,000 DB7s were manufactured between 1994 and 2003.

MOTOR CARS 11 1980 TALBOT SUNBEAM TI CTCRC GROUP 1 RACER

ESTIMATE £22000 - 26000 *

Introduced in April 1979, the Talbot Sunbeam Ti was powered by the same twin Weber carburettor-fed 1600cc four-cylinder engine as its Avenger Tiger big brother. With some 100bhp and 96lbft of torque on tap and a kerb weight of just 920kg, the newcomer was found capable of 0-60mph in 9.9 seconds and 111mph. Equipped with MacPherson strut independent suspension, a coil-sprung live rear axle, slick four-speed manual gearbox and disc / drum brakes, the Ti proved eminently tuneable. Running in both Group A rallying and Group 1 circuit racing forms, it recorded more victories and podiums than its more famous Lotusengined sibling. Raced successfully during the 1990s and 2000s in both the Classic Touring Car Racing Club’s pre-83 Group 1 Series and Classic Thunder, this particular example is potentially eligible for the Historic Touring Car Challenge’s Tony Dron Trophy and the Goodwood Members’ Meeting. Often running in the top ten of a thirty-car strong (Classes A to E) Group 1 grid, the Talbot Sunbeam could provide its new owner with a competitive yet inexpensive entry to some of the UK’s most prestigious historic race meetings. Reportedly fitted with `a low hours Holbay 1598cc motor refreshed by F1 hot rod and touring car builder Alan Jackson’, the Ti also boasts `a close-ratio Sunbeam gearbox and period correct fittings and presentation’. The safety equipment, race seat and harness will all require updating for racing but the present Evo 2 seat and Willans harness should suffice for track days. Staring

This delightful XJ-S ticks lots of boxes, being a one owner car from new that’s travelled just 29,000 miles in 29 years, and which is currently considered by the vendor to have ‘excellent’ Convertible bodywork, Grey leather interior trim, Arctic Blue paintwork, V12 engine and automatic transmission. It is being offered complete with no less than 22 MOT certificates; the original log book and all subsequent DVLA issues; the original bill of sale from Southern Brothers of Blackburn; owner’s book pack in leather wallet; extensive maintenance and service history; and unused boxed tool kit. These cars are becoming more collectible by the day and there can’t be too many low mileage one owner examples left in existence. Based on the XJ Saloon, the XJ-S was launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the legendary E-Type, though it was a cat of a very different character. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension (double wishbone front, lower wishbone/radius arm rear), four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering, some of its underpinnings even found their way into the later Aston Martin DB7 and Jaguar XK8. At launch, the newcomer was powered by Jaguar’s silky smooth 5343cc V-12 engine mated to either Borg Warner Model 12 automatic or manual transmission. The latter was soon dropped and in 1979 the Borg Warner automatic unit was superseded by GM’s three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic box. Though relatively heavy, the XJ-S was no mean performer and would hit 60mph in around 7.8 seconds and top 140mph flat out. Economy, however, was

CHASSIS 610107 GSM (Glassport Motor Company) was established in Cape Town in 1958 by South African racing drivers Willie Meissner and Bob Van Niekert, and the name Glassport reflects their decision to build cars with fibreglass bodies. Their first product was the Dart, an open-two-seater based on a ladder chassis powered by a variety of engines including Coventry Climax, Ford and Alfa Romeo. A number of GSMs were raced with success in period - eg the pairing of Chris Fergusson and Hugh Carrington achieved

outright victory in the 1959 Kyalami 9 Hours race in a Coventry Climax powered variant, while 1959 British Saloon Car Champion Jeff Uren pedalled one to a number of UK class wins during the 1961 season. UK versions of the model were built in West Malling, Kent, though carried the name Delta rather than Dart, as Daimler had beaten GSM to that particular Moniker. The Delta offered was purchased new in 1961 for £700 by a Michael Hampton, who is reputed to have sold the car following a scary moment at Brands Hatch. In those days it featured a 1000cc Ford engine, but is now powered by a 1500cc precrossflow unit that has been fully refurbished complete

This rare and interesting sports car is being sold complete with stainless steel exhaust, hardtop, side screens, tonneau cover, and large history file.

ESTIMATE £20000 - 25000 *

In common with the makers of many early British cars, Richard Lea and Graham Francis originally manufactured pedal cycles, for which they acquired a strong reputation. Their first foray into cars was less successful, however, and just three of the 1903 design powered by a bizarre three-cylinder engine mounted horizontally below the occupants’ feet were made - none of which survive today. The far superior motorcycles produced between 1912 and 1924 kept the company afloat long enough to onceagain try its hand at the four-wheel market. The re-entry occurred in 1919, but it was the ensuing appointment of Dutch-born designer Charles Van Eugen and a move to Meadows engines that kick-started the company’s heyday. A change of image for 1925 led to the Hyper and Ace of Spades models - the former being Britain’s first supercharged production car, an example of which carried Kaye Don to a memorable victory in the 1928 Ulster TT. The post-war 14hp Sports was a breath of fresh air - a highly acclaimed model that provided the chassis, engine and transmission for the Connaught L2 and L3 sports cars. Despite its popularity, only 137 Sports were built, of which just c.40 are believed to survive today. The righthand drive 1949 example on offer is a matching numbers one that was restored in the 1970s and has had just three keepers from new. One of whom - a gentleman from Shropshire - retained it from 1973 to 2000, and it was during his custodianship that ‘GUK 400’ was finished in its current livery of Old English White with White leather upholstery. The Lea-Francis is now offered complete with original number plate, hood, side screens and tonneau. The vendor presently grades the car’s engine, transmission and electrical system as ‘very good’ and the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as ‘good’. The engine has had a top end rebuild including new valve springs, hardened valve seats to allow it to run on unleaded, skimmed head and block. The transmission has also had a refresh including new selectors and bushes. A rare opportunity.

The steering is a Lancia derived worm and sector set-up controlled via a leather-rimmed wheel. The Special utilises allround independent suspension and comes with ‘a purpose-built trailer, large quantity of spares plus a comprehensive archive’. To further quote the vendor: ‘This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a unique and exciting race car that not only will create great paddock interest but also has the potential to be a race winner in its class’.

The body had been part dismantled, the running gear and drivetrain had been removed and many of the parts had been confined to cardboard boxes.

And now for something completely different - a labour of love designed by the late classic car restorer and longterm VSCC/MGCC member Tony Miles, who witnessed its completion but sadly never had the chance to race it. Tony had MGs from the age of 21, starting with an MGA. From 1959 to 2004 he owned the MG PB ‘Green Goddess’ that finished 2nd in class at Le Mans in 1937 and, having fully restored it, proudly paraded the car at La Sarthe 50 years after its first visit. He competed at Thruxton, Gurston Down, Silverstone, Wiscombe Park, Longleat, Brands Hatch and Etretat Benouville, to name but a few venues, and as a Volvo enthusiast helped introduce the Volvo Owners Club’s Motorsport Challenge. The ‘Green Goddess’ was sold so he could concentrate on building a single-seat MG PA racer that he dubbed ‘Green God’. Almost entirely created from original MG parts, it is powered by an 850cc supercharged PA engine that drives through an ENV 75 gearbox and clothed in a bespoke aluminium body. Various experts were employed to assist in this unique car’s completion, in particular: Tom Thornton of Coachbuilt Cars (bodywork); Graham Hart (paintwork); Bob Jones of Baynton-Jones (engine/gearbox); and Dominic Rudd of Rudspeed (final assembly).

The inaugural version was made available to a delighted German public in June 1976 and, while it wasn’t until July 1979 that righthand drive versions landed on British shores, a special order of 22 lefthand drive ones were imported by Volkswagen the year before in order to give the already salivating UK enthusiast fraternity a sneak peek at this new and exciting genre of performance car. The ploy worked

One of only 22 original special order vehicles imported by VW into the UK in 1978

perfectly as the car’s unique combination of handling, performance, packaging and affordability was an instant hit. Suddenly, there was the perfect solution for the enthusiast who’d forsaken his sports car to transport a young family - the GTi was what you might call a ‘cake and eat it’ car. Models have a habit of growing over the years and today’s Polo is in fact larger than the original Golf, never mind the current generation of Golf itself, which is way bigger. So, though naturally not as quick as the current offering, the first generation GTi is actually more nimble and still great fun to drive - small wonder then that collectors have long since latched on to the good ones.

‘WHX 995S’ is special in several ways. Firstly it is one of the aforementioned 22 lefthand drive pilot cars, so a very rare beast of significance to Volkswagen history. Secondly, following a comprehensive restoration , just completed , this matching numbers example is now immaculate, with its vendor describing the bodywork, Silver paintwork, check cloth interior trim, 110bhp four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in ‘excellent’ order.

The punitive import duties levied on US-built vehicles by Britain’s former colonies prompted General Motors to have its Canadian subsidiary manufacture suitable right-hand drive chassis which were then bodied locally in their destination markets. Responsible for clothing Australian Chevrolets from 1924 onwards, the output of Holden’s Motor Body Builders Ltd was predictably American in influence but also incorporated local design cues. Debuting in 1935, the streamlined Sports Coupe coachwork that Holden penned for the Chevrolet Six range was only available ‘Down Under’. Known colloquially as the ‘Sloper’, the four-light Coupe was revised for each successive model year until 1940. Utilising the same rugged ‘box-girder’ chassis, 3.4 litre OHV straight-six engine, three-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes as its American cousin, the Australian Chevrolet Six reputedly boasted extra ground clearance to better cope with the Outback’s unmade roads (a definite plus for those tackling historic endurance rallies today). Built in mid-1936, this particular ‘Sloper’ is one of only a handful known to still exist. An older restoration that was stored as part of a collection for fifteen years before being imported to the UK in 2016, the 2+2-seater has recently been recommissioned. The engine is said to be in ‘excellent condition with constant oil pressure, reliable starting and a watch-like tick over’. The chassis and underside are similarly reported to be ‘excellent’, the vendor adding that the Chevrolet ‘runs extremely well, has powerful hydraulic brakes, good steering and is capable of keeping up with modern traffic. The body work is again in extremely good solid condition with no rust, the paint has mellowed, but provides a pleasing patinated appearance. I have no hesitation in recommending the car, it is a scarce model capable of travelling long distances with a high degree of reliability’.

CHASSIS B349CD Introduced in 1946, the MKVI Bentley was the company’s first post-war model, though it was closely based on the 1939 MKV (of which only 15 were produced). It was aimed at the emerging ‘owner-driver’ luxury car market and constructed around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung live rear axle. Power came from a freshly developed 4257cc (later 4566cc) overhead inlet/side exhaust straight-six engine that drove through a four-speed manual transmission, operated by a righthand floor-mounted lever. Suspension was

independent by coil springs at the front and leaf springs at the rear, and braking by mechanically-assisted drums all-round. Unfortunately, the variable quality of steel available in the post-WWII period meant the MKVI’s Standard Steel Saloon coachwork rarely lasted as long as Crewe had intended, and even as early as the mid1960s there was a sizeable number of mechanically strong but cosmetically untidy examples populating the roads. This inspired the now long and proud tradition of building Bentley MKVI-based specials. This imposing, smartly-presented example is based on 1948 Bentley MKVI running gear. Acquired by the vendor in 2000, it was reconfigured over the ensuing

CHASSIS S679445

ESTIMATE £85000 - 95000 *

Built in March 1952, `YPN 635’ started life as a lefthand drive export model and was delivered new to its first owner by Hornburg of Los Angeles. It then returned to these shores in the 1998, whereupon it was restored and uprated by Watjag of Derbyshire in order to contest the Monte Carlo classic rally. The Jaguar was converted to righthand drive and equipped with a 4.2-litre XK engine breathing through a trio of SU carburettors and driving via a lightened flywheel and competition clutch to an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox complete with overdrive. Other modifications included: XK150 rack and pinion steering; uprated Koni dampers; servoassisted brakes - vented discs and four-pot calipers up front; alloy radiator; uprated alternator; louvered bonnet by RS Panels and related leather straps; stainless steel exhaust system; repositioned pedals; bucket seats; and a smaller steering wheel in order to accommodate taller drivers. The extensive work was duly rewarded with a 2nd in class and 13th place overall in the rally. This highly desirable and attractive XK is finished in Silver Sand and trimmed in Red leather and is perhaps unsurprisingly currently regarded by the vendor as having `excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, competition engine and gearbox. It is now being offered complete with a variety of related magazine articles, large file of invoices, collection of old MOTs, plus photos of the restoration. An exciting opportunity for classic rally enthusiasts and XK collectors everywhere. The stunning-looking XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when it was launched at the London Motor Show of 1948. Capable of 120mph and more, it immediately assumed the mantle of the world’s fastest production car. In testing a Fixed Head Coupe SE version in 1952, Autocar achieved a 0-60mph time of 9.9 seconds - rapid for the period, but vastly slower than `YPN 635’ could manage.

In 1957 it was purchased for a discounted £700 by Peter Wilkins, an employee in the Export Department, who owned it for ten years in which time he covered some 100,000 miles. During his ownership he competed in a number of sporting events including a 1961 BSCC race

Passing through a number of subsequent owners who are listed in the history file, it was then subject of a body restoration by Austin-Healey specialists Wheeler & Davies of Nuneaton and mechanical overhaul and conversion to M-Specification by none other than Denis Welch around 1987/88. The body restoration included the fitment of aluminium doors and wings, the front and rear shrouds being retained. The car was shown at the 1987 Classic Car Show at Alexandra Palace taking 2nd prize. A further 2nd place award was achieved in the Modified Big Healey Class at the 1989 Healey

Recently re-imported to the UK, the original registration number has now been re-allocated by DVLA. Finished in Green / Cream with Cream interior and Green carpet, this original UK market Healey is described as having “very good” bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and interior. It is accompanied by a good history file including a Heritage Certificate, assorted invoices relating to its previous restoration, correspondence regarding its history, a number of expired MoTs and Swansea V5c.

A popular choice on events such as the Mille Miglia, the 508S was typically supplied in kit-form outside of Italy with concessionaires in the likes of France (Simca), Poland and Czechoslovakia responsible for assembly. The British version, of which fifty were produced, differed from its Continental equivalents by dint of having right-hand drive, knock-on wheels and more elaborate instrumentation and while in competition the two-seater often vanquished similar capacity MG and Singer opposition! The sale example is one of four Balilla 508S cars delivered to Belfast and bought by John McGrattan of Bangor County Down, who immediately began racing it. Together with W. McMillan, Tommy Black and Billy Sullivan it competed in both Northern Ireland and Eire regularly until 1940. Photographs and Race Programmes are included in the sale to validate the history. Having been in current ownership since 1966, ‘BZ 4078’ has been subject to an extensive restoration, with a new body tub; but retaining the original radiator, bonnet, doors, tail lid, running gear and the original close-ratio four- speed gearbox. We are informed that when the vendor bought the Fiat it was fitted with a Ford side valve engine as original 995 engines were difficult to source and the decision was made to replace this engine with the much more robust next series 508C engine of 1089cc, current from 1937 to 1951 - which has been additionally strengthened and mildly tuned

The problem is only 53 were built, the values of which are now way beyond the pocket of the average aficionado, as a result of which a healthy supply of evocations has been available for many years. Inevitably some are of superior quality to others, with those built by Realm Engineering of Honeybourne, Worcestershire generally considered to be among the best. Realm’s enviable history can be traced back several decades to

The latter is constructed around a spaceframe of impressive design that’s then clothed in either a glassfibre or alloy body. A donor Jaguar XJ6 is required for the running gear. ‘B331 FPU’ provides some lucky person with the chance to acquire a replica C-Type that has covered just 1,100 miles from new, so is barely run in!

In production between 1971 and 1996, the Rolls-Royce Corniche Drophead is the epitome of luxury openair motoring. Fabled for its extravagantly sumptuous interior and hushed drivetrain, it was powered by a tuned version of Crewe’s staple 6750cc V8 engine mated to automatic transmission. Equipped with firmer springs, thicker anti-roll bars together and revised steering geometry, it proved a more satisfying drive than its humbler saloon car siblings. The presence of olio-pneumatic suspension and a plethora of electric motors ensured that it remained a singularly cosseting experience. Finished most attractively in Willow Gold with Champagne hide, this low mileage two owner example has been in the vendor’s care since 1989 having been purchased from his business partner. The vendor informs us the car has always been serviced and maintained to a high standard as evidenced by invoices contained in the accompanying history file. In recent times, regular service work has been entrusted to marque specialist N Sandell of Isleworth. Works carried out in his care have included replacement of the Solex carburettors with an SU conversion kit in 2014 which we understand has greatly improved the driving experience. The hood is said to be in good working order and a tonneau cover is also present whilst the car rides on Avon whitewall tyres. Displaying just 38,898 miles at the time of cataloguing, B281 KRX presents extremely well with “very good” bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and transmission. Benefiting from long-term ownership and modest mileage, this highly desirable example of Rolls-Royce’s famed Corniche is offered with aforementioned invoices, Swansea V5C and current MoT.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION

Overshadowed by Pierre Levegh’s horrendous crash, the 1955 Le Mans 24-hours nevertheless saw Ninian Sanderson / Bob Dickson and Ken Richardson / Bert Hadley drive two Works-entered Triumph TR2 cars to 14th and 15th places overall (5th and 6th in the up to 2-litre class). Returning to the Circuit de la Sarthe four years later, Standard-Triumph’s Competition Department fielded three bespoke Triumph TR3S machines that boasted longer chassis, fibreglass bodywork, disc brakes all round and the in-house developed ‘Sabrina’ twin-cam engines, (so called because their bulbous covers evoked comparison with a contemporary starlet). Sadly, the trio retired - two due to cooling fan failures and the third because of a faulty oil pump - but not before they had left an indelible impression on marque enthusiasts. Once back at the factory, the TR3S racers were shorn of their bodywork and had their chassis reused for the subsequent TRS project which would go onto distinguish itself by winning the coveted team prize in the 1961 race. Deeming the TR3S to be the best looking of the first-generation TR sportscars and inspired by both Graham Robson’s book ‘Triumph Sports Cars’ and the TR3S Evocation that marque specialist Glen Hewitt of Protek, Wallingford had built for himself, the vendor commissioned Mr Hewitt to create another

TR3S tribute car. Having obtained the original Works blueprints for the TR3S project and some ex-Works competition spares, not to mention the registration number and chassis plate of one of the factory Le Mans racers (registration number ‘XHP 939’), the seller was determined that his car be as authentic as possible. The donor chassis thus had its side rails not just lengthened (by 5” 7/8”) but also deepened (by 3/4”). Further rigidity comes from the installation of a roll cage front and rear with associated bracing struts. The TR3S’s elongated fibreglass bodywork was painstakingly recreated even down to the ducts ahead of the rear wings, reshaped spare wheel ‘letter box’ and racing windscreen. In the absence of a Sabrina engine, the car has been fitted with a blueprinted TR four-cylinder engine fed by the very rare twin-choke DU6 SU carburettors that develops circa 170bhp at the rear wheels. Help in getting the detailing right was provided by Claude Dubois who was one of the Works drivers at the 1959 Le Mans 24-hours. Since its completion, the reincarnated ‘XHP 939’ has competed successfully at Le Mans Legends, the HSCC Gold Cup, the Le Mans Classic and the Silverstone Classic. It is also eligible for the Goodwood Fordwater Trophy and Spa Classic. In addition it holds the distinction of being the fastest-timed TR ever to race at the Le Mans Classic and in doing so it beat some much

more expensive and exotic machinery (the Triumph came from the very back of the grid to finish in 19th place and was clocked at an impressive 137mph). With some top-level historic racing cars changing hands for millions of pounds, this TR3S Tribute represents excellent value for money and provides a unique entry into the world of historic motorsport. The Triumph’s impressive specification includes: 4-cylinder 2158cc engine with alloy cylinder head, steel crankshaft, forged pistons, competition con-rods and flywheel first built by Racetorations and subsequently maintained by Matthew Lambkin-Smith. Heavy-duty Stag type 4 speed gear box with overdrive on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. Limited slip differential. Oil cooler and catch tank. Alloy radiator and header tank. Twin circuit disc brakes all round with adjustable bias control. Foam filled alloy fuel tank. Fully plumbed-in fire extinguisher system with internal and external ‘kill’ switches for both fire and electrics. New 5-point race harness. 15-inch 72-spoke wire wheels shod with Dunlop L section 5.50 tyres. Front and rear suspension completely refurbished with new bearings in July 2017 for the Silverstone Classic.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION First seen at the 1963 Turin Motor Show as a prototype, the Tipo 109 Maserati was styled by Pietro Frua. A radical departure from its more conservative 3500GT / GTi / Sebring forebears, the newcomer’s delicate boat-like prow and fastback rear (complete with wraparound windscreen) were decidedly a la mode. Known internally as the ‘Due Posti’, it was rechristened the Mistral at the behest of the marque’s French concessionaire Col. Simone. Following established Maserati practice, the two-seater’s chassis frame was equipped with independent coiland-wishbone front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle, anti-roll bars and four-wheel disc brakes but differed in its use of smaller diameter square-section tubing (which alongside a shorter wheelbase brought a considerable weight saving). Entering production during 1964, the model was initially powered by a 3694cc DOHC straight-six (a distant relative of the unit fitted to the illustrious 250F Grand Prix car) mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Credited with some 245bhp and 253lbft of torque, the delectable fixed head was found capable of 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds and 141mph. Phased out in 1970, just 383 of the 828 Mistral Coupes built featured 3.7 litre engines (the remainder carrying enlarged 4 litre units). Supplied new to Italy, this particular left-hand drive example - chassis AM109466 - was originally finished in Celeste Chiaro with White leather upholstery. Migrating to Spain thereafter, the Maserati needed a mechanical overhaul by the time that pharmacist Edward Victory imported it to Gibraltar during January 1989. Accompanying invoices show that he got as far as ordering a new clutch and camshafts before work seemingly stalled. Shipped to the UK in September 2013, the Mistral has since been treated

to an extensive ‘bare metal’ restoration. Renowned marque specialists McGrath Maserati provided numerous engine parts (triplex timing chain, front / rear crankshaft seals, engine mounts, main bearings, rod bearings, valve guides, water pump seals etc), while Harm Klijn rejuvenated the Lucas fuel injection system and Hein Brand fabricated new piston rings. Southern Axle Services refurbished the rear axle and Allon White Sportscars were responsible for much of the interior re-trim using Muirhead Caledonian Polar leather and Portland Stone carpets. Re-sprayed in Celeste Chiaro metallic, the two-seater also had attention paid to its

brakes, suspension, electrics and brightwork. Part of a small private collection, the Maserati passed its first UK MOT test on April 5th 2016 at an indicated 75,059 kilometres (barely 200km ago). Starting readily upon inspection, this handsome ‘matching numbers’ Italian thoroughbred GT is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, history file (including restoration photos) and current MOT certificate valid until September 2018.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION The Historic Racing Drivers’ Club’s Academy Series for Austin A30 / A35 Saloons was conceived as a limited budget `Control Formula’ that would encourage newcomers into the world of historic motorsport. The first HRDC Academy car to be completed was shaken down in December 2013 and others soon followed. However, the series really gained momentum when it was announced that the St Mary’s Trophy race at the 2016 Goodwood Revival would be for Academy cars only. Held in two-parts with professionals contesting the first and amateurs the second, the event attracted almost fifty entrants including the machine on sale today.

Built by Mike Jordan’s Jordan Racing Team with `no expense spared’ to win the St Mary’s Trophy, it benefited from his decades of success - both as a driver and preparer - in Porsche Cup, V8 Eurocar, British GT, FIA GT and BTCC racing etc. Powered by the same sealed 1275cc A-series engine as its grid mates, the JRT car was not only exquisitely detailed but could also call upon the driving talents of Mike’s son Andrew (a former BTCC Champion). The two-part race was as closely contested and exciting as the organisers had wished with Andrew Jordan winning the first round in torrential rain. On Sunday Mike Jordan brought the car home in the top three making them the overall combined winners. For the 2017 Silverstone Classic the HRDC organised a two-part celebrity race in aid of Prostate Cancer Research. The A30, now owned by Royal Automobile Club member Eric Verdon-Roe, was allocated to Howard Donald of Take That for the celebrity race. In very slippery conditions he managed a solid sixth despite a spin. On the Sunday Mike Jordan drove from sixth on the grid taking the lead with two laps to go to win the race. This car is therefore the most successful machine in the series and is set to repeat the result in its next outing in its new owner’s hands. Recently the A30 was displayed in the Royal Automobile Club’s Pall Mall premises.

Specification: The car enjoys all the latest technology to save weight. It is built from an acid dipped, seam welded shell that was in excellent pre-build condition with very little rot repair needed. All optional fibre glass panels fitted (bonnet, bumpers, boot, wings). Superbly painted by Normandale in Dove Grey and Cream in base coat and clear. All new parts include: strengthened seat mountings with latest specification Race Tech BTCC seat,

bespoke lightweight wiring loom, bespoke hardcoated Perspex windows, heated front screen, PWR F1 Spec radiator, lightweight alternator, lithium battery, Momo steering wheel, Smiths gauges, new switches, Atec oil cooler pipes, PWR oil cooler, low-drag wheel bearings, adjustable dampers.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION BMW versus Ford in the European Touring Car Championship was a titanic battle that lasted throughout the ‘70s. BMW’s weapon of choice was its big E9 Coupe, while Ford parried first with the Capri and then the Escort. BMW was victorious in 1973 and then from 1975 to 1979 inclusive, with 1974 the only year the Blue Oval prevailed.

Munich initially campaigned the 2800CS, switching to the 3.0CSi in 1971. In August 1972 the company created the 3.0CSL homologation special, to allow the Coupe to compete in the over 3-litre class the following year. In its final form the model could be had with a comprehensive aero package of large air dam, fins for the front wings, a spoiler that fixed above and behind the trailing edge of the roof, and a monster rear wing that gave rise to the car’s nickname of ‘Batmobile’. This stunning-looking LHD evocation has been painstakingly created over the past five years by the vendor around a fully restored 1973 BMW CS shell with careful attention to detail and a high standard of workmanship. The current specification includes; media blasted bodyshell resplendent in white with highly evocative M colours decals, genuine M30 Alpina B10 engine overhauled by Fritz’s Bits of Wellington, Somerset, displacing 3.5-litres driving through a Getrag 265 (dog leg) 5-speed gearbox, aero package spoilers and fins, sideloader LSD, polybushed KW suspension, Brembo front brakes, new Image alloy wheels, aluminium bonnet, boot and doors, side exhaust ducted for ground clearance (a work of art in itself!), new screen and rubbers, new plumbed in fire extinguisher, ATL fuel cell to FIA standard FT3-1999 (with certificate of conformance stating valid until 2022), OMP race seat

(in compliance with FIA standard 8859-1999), racing harness and Custom Cages roll cage with certificate confirming conformance with FIA specifications dated November 2015. The front spoiler is easily removeable to aid transportation and a Swansea V5 document relating to the donor shell is also included. The vendor informs us the car has been built to Group 2 FIA requirements and advises an application for FIA papers is ongoing. We would encourage interested parties to satisfy themselves as to its current eligibility

prior to bidding should the application not have been finalised in time for the sale. BMW’s ‘Batmobile’ has become the stuff of racing legend and with values of original cars with period race history rising rapidly a quality evocation such as the striking example offered here provides an exciting and extremely enticing alternative.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION “It was not the means whereby the 3-Litre Bentley performed, but the manner in which it did it, that endeared the car to sportsmen who took pride in their driving. The engine was remarkably flexible, strong and reliable, the gear ratios admirably chosen, the handling excellent and the quality unremittingly high. So, also, was the price, but an ever-growing reputation, augmented by striking racing victories - including the Le Mans 24 hours of 1924 and 1927 ensured its success”

‘Classic Sports Cars’ by Cyril Posthumus and David Hodges. A railway engineering apprentice turned aero engine designer, Walter Owen Bentley previewed his first creation, the immortal 3-Litre, at the October 1919 London Motor Show (though, he would not deem it production ready for another two years). Inspired by a 1914 Humber TT racer, the newcomer’s ladder-frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear-wheel drum brakes (four-wheel brakes becoming the norm from 1924 onwards). The car’s heart and most advanced feature was its 2996cc engine. A long-stroke four-cylinder (80mm x 149mm) that prioritized torque over top-end power, it boasted a five-bearing crankshaft, shaft-driven overhead camshaft, monobloc construction, twin ignition, four valves per cylinder and aluminium pistons. Developing between 65bhp and 88bhp, the unit was allied to a separate four-speed gate-change gearbox. Supplied in bare chassis guise only, albeit with a choice of wheelbase lengths and engine tune, the 3-Litre remained in production until 1929 by which time some 1,621 are thought to have been made. As well as its two Le Mans victories, the Bentley enjoyed considerable success at Brooklands and even broke

the 24-hour world record around Montlhery setting a 95mph average speed. A real rarity in W.O. Bentley circles, this magnificent 3 Litre model retains its original chassis, engine (or parts thereof), registration number and coachwork. Crafted by H.J. Mulliner, the latter was not only beautifully proportioned but also featured triple-hinged doors, four retractable glass side windows (a real luxury for an open car at the time) and a snug fitting convertible hood. The ease with which its roof could be raised and lowered was purportedly the reason that H.J. Mulliner referred to the 2+2-seater as a ‘Simplex Coupe’. Indeed, the London firm was proud enough of the design to exhibit a similarly bodied W.O. Bentley at the 1926 Motor Show.

Road registered by West Suffolk County Council as ‘CF 5654’ in late 1924, chassis 747 was supplied new via Gaffikin Wilkinson & Co of Dover Street London, W1 to F.W. Rhodes Esq. of Dalham Hall, Newmarket.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION male heirs. Having satisfied his uncle’s desire that he be in gainful employment and not a ‘loafer’, F.W. Rhodes Esq was certainly able to afford the very best that money could buy.

According to its accompanying copy factory service record, the Bentley was acquired by C. Warwick Esq. of Walmar, Beech Hill Park, Hadley Wood during 1927. Thereafter, the 3 Litre is known to have passed to D. MacGregor Esq., C. Ide Esq., J. Royds Esq., F.C. Butterworth Esq., J.E. Walsh Esq., J. Ellis Esq., J.M.P. Ott Esq., B. Mather Esq., K.W. Tams Esq., R. Miles Esq., R. Brown Esq. and A. Singer Esq. before entering the current ownership in 2010. At some stage the lid of the dickey seat aperture was reversed to provide a lockable boot and a rear bench added to the main cabin (thankfully these alterations did not involve any structural work or compromise the hood mechanism). Extensively restored between 1984 and 1988 whilst in Mr Tams’ custody, the Bentley had its ash frame and aluminium bodywork refurbished prior to being repainted in Ivory over Black. New Green Connolly leather upholstery was fitted together with matching carpets and the original engine thoroughly overhauled by Brunts of Silverdale (nominal crankshaft regrind, camshaft reprofiled, block bored, fresh pistons and new white metal bearings etc). A specification sheet on file from then custodian Robert Miles which was compiled circa 2001 declares that the Bentley sported ‘a BM2391 camshaft with the rear bearing modification, B-type four-speed manual gearbox, reconditioned 3.785 (Speed Model) crown wheel and pinion, new 4.5 Litre-type water pump (with the pump drive gear running in an oil bath), negative earth electrics, Kenlowe fan, Smiths five-jet carburettor, modern full flow oil filter conversion, 4.5 Litre steering box (very desirable), replacement main thrust bearing, Stage II Perrot shafts and modern oil seals for the half shafts’ extremities’. Mr Miles who completed a 3,500mile tour of New Zealand with the Bentley Drivers’ Club aboard ‘CF 5654’ in 1999 described it as ‘quite the

most comfortable, practical and charming car I have owned in forty-five years of Vintage motoring’. Entrusted to Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Sargeants of Goudhurst for maintenance by Robert Brown, the 3 Litre has since been looked after by Stuart Fearnside on behalf of both Adam Singer and the vendor. Highly respected in W.O. circles, Mr Fearnside spent many years working for renowned marque specialist Stanley Mann before establishing F.S. Racing with Joe Singer (Adam Singer’s son). Enjoyed by Mr Singer and the vendor on numerous BDC events in the UK and overseas including the 2014 North America Vintage Bentley Meet, the Drophead Coupe carries both magneto and coil ignition. Listed in the seminal book ‘Bentley: The Vintage Years’ as: ‘Reconditioned for resale Bentley Motors Ltd. Still fitted original body’, the 2+2-seater started readily upon inspection. The

inner face of the chassis’ nearside front dumb iron and front cross member are stamped with ‘747’, the engine carries ‘756’ and ‘726’ stampings (engine number 726 was originally installed in another 3 Litre chassis 714) and the back axle nose piece is reportedly stamped ‘747’. One of Britain’s foremost coachbuilders, H.J. Mulliner has been ranked alongside Gurney Nutting for the elegance of its designs and deemed second only to Hooper in terms of build quality. Interestingly, another ‘Simplex’ bodied W.O. Bentley - a 6.5 Litre car (chassis TB2542) - was displayed at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance its 11ft wheelbase being a close match for chassis 747’s 10ft 10in one. Said to be in rude mechanical health and highly presentable for a thirty-year old restoration, ‘CF 5654’ is worthy of close inspection and a real jewel among surviving 3 Litres.

‘720 KO’ should certainly prove to be a knock-out for some lucky buyer in this sale. The property of a deceased estate, the right-hand drive automatic transmission 230 SL hails from 1966 and, while it may lack much in the way of history, is clearly a very desirable example of the much loved ‘Pagoda’ model. Finished in the striking combination of Gold bodywork, Black hide interior trim and Black hood, the Benz is currently regarded by the vendor as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition with regard to its engine, transmission, bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and electrical equipment, while the low indicated mileage of just 41,157 chimes with the car’s MOT records dating back to 2006. A very handsome proposition for early SL lovers everywhere. Successor to both the exotic racebred 300SL ‘Gullwing’ Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113 series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer’s 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Penned by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and front disc brakes. Powered by a 2.3 litre straight-six engine mated to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the model was credited with 150bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 124mph, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, roadholding and refinement. Available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of these came with both a soft-top and the famous ‘Pagoda’ hardtop roof (so called because of its gently scalloped centre section). Of the 48,912 W113 Series cars made between 1963 and 1971, 19,831 were 230 SLs.

CHASSIS SCFAC13342B500176 This handsome, ‘time warp’ Vanquish represents a rare opportunity, for having recently emerged from 10 years of dry storage it has still covered just 15,176 warranted miles from new - ie an average of c.950 miles per annum. The vendor has twice owned the car, acquiring it for the second time in July 2013, and has no hesitation in classifying the bodywork, Silver paintwork, Dark Blue leather interior trim, V12 engine and six-speed electrohydraulic manual transmission as all being in ‘excellent overall’ order. An equivalent

car would surely be hard to find. When launched in 2001 the V12 Vanquish was the most advanced Aston Martin of its time, and a major progression from the previous V8-powered models. Its bodyshell was formed from extruded aluminium sections both bonded and riveted around a carbonfibre transmission tunnel. The exterior panels were created from ‘superformed’ aluminium that were then tailored and bonded to the shell by hand for optimum fit. The interior was a sea of sumptuous leather - initially Connolly and then Bridge of Weir - and, unusually, the car could be specified as a two-seater with load space (2+0) or, for an additional £5,000, as a 2+2. The V12 Vanquish was penned by Ian Callum, who was also responsible

for the DB7 and, while it remained notionally faithful to the 1998 Project Vantage Concept prototype, every panel was subtly different. Its 6-litre engine was developed from that in the DB7 Vantage to produce 460bhp, courtesy of revised inlet manifolds, camshafts, valve gear, crankshaft and exhaust system. The advanced transmission was operated by steering column-mounted F1-style paddles and the newcomer could sprint to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and attain 190mph flat out. Production of the muchvaunted Vanquish ran from 2001 to 2004 during which time 1,503 examples were manufactured. It was superseded by the still more powerful Vanquish S, of which 1,086 were made.

Looking as current as the day it was born, this all-Black lefthand drive Uracco is one of just 190 P300 versions created, so a pretty rare vehicle even by supercar standards. It was delivered new to a Mr Wolfgang Steinhart of Switzerland on March 4 1976, and these days displays an unwarranted but credible total of 53,660 kilometres. It has recently been the subject of a c.£4,000 refurbishment and is now regarded by the vendor as having `very good’ interior trim, and `good’ bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox. The Lamborghini comes complete with an MOT valid to February 9, 2019. If you are seeking an item of head-turning exotica wearing something other than the ubiquitous Prancing Horse badge, this could well be the car for you. By tradition, Lamborghini model names relate to the sport of bullfighting and Urraco is that of a small breed of fighting bull and therefore effectively means `little bull’. It is an apt moniker, as the line was Ferruccio Lamborghini’s attempt to rival Ferrari’s Dino and Maserati’s Merak and was therefore smaller and more affordable than the Miura. The 2+2 newcomer was debuted at the 1970 Turin Salon, though did not enter production until 1973. The design was from the talented pen of Marcello Gandini when working for Bertone and was ultimately produced in four different forms - the 1994cc P200, 2463cc P250, 2996cc P300 and P250 Tipo 111; the latter being a run of 21 cars specifically equipped to meet the increasingly demanding federal regulations. The P300 boasted 247bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car from rest to 60mph in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 162mph. Taking all three versions into account, Urraco production totalled 791 units and spanned seven years. The ensuing Silhouette and Jalpa models were developments of the Urraco.

CHASSIS 38-6650 The last of Vincenzo Lancia’s designs, the Aprilia was also notable for having been honed - with Battista Farina’s assistance - in the Politecnico di Torino’s wind tunnel. Debuting as the Berlinetta Aerodinamica in 1936 and entering production the following February, the newcomer boasted a record low drag coefficient of 0.47. Based around a lightweight, four-door pillarless monocoque equipped with all-round independent suspension (sliding pillar front / transverse-leaf rear) and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, the Aprilia was

powered by a narrow-angle 1352cc V4 engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Among the most technologically advanced road cars of its generation, the saloon’s agile handling and 80mph top speed meant that it could embarrass far more expensive machinery. A class winner on the Mille Miglia, Monte Carlo Rally, Spa 24-hours, Liege-Rome-Liege and Targa Abruzzo, the first series Aprilia was phased out in 1939 after 10,354 had been made. Finished in Metallic Green with Beige cloth upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in `very good’ (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) or `excellent’ (engine, gearbox, electrical

Although mechanically near identical to its TD predecessor, the provision of a raked radiator, revised wing line and faired-in headlamps lent it an altogether sleeker and sportier air. Powered by a revised version of the well-proven, four-cylinder XPAG engine but this time using larger valves, a higher compression ratio and twin SU 1.5in carburettors, the new model was reputedly capable of over 80mph. Equipped with both rack-andpinion steering and independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, it helped maintain the marque’s ‘Safety Fast’ reputation.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION Last flowering of the separate chassis XK sportscar line, the XK150 was introduced in 1957. A more sophisticated and refined design than its forebears, the newcomer benefited from the adoption of four-wheel disc brakes and a more generously proportioned cabin. Available with a variety of 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre DOHC straight-six engines (in differing states of tune), potential customers could also choose between four-speed manual or threespeed automatic gearboxes. An effortless performer (contemporary road tests recorded top speeds of 130mph upwards) the XK150 did much to cement Jaguar’s reputation as Britain’s foremost sportscar manufacturer. Although, the model could be ordered in standard trim, the majority of customers seem to have opted for the factory-fitted ‘Special Equipment’ (SE) pack which incorporated wire wheels, front spotlights, tuned B-type cylinder head and a twin exhaust system. Appearing in 1958, a year later than its Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe siblings, the Roadster did without their token back seats. Decidedly more rakish looking thanks to a repositioned scuttle (moved four inches further back) and curved door tops, it nevertheless boasted a proper hood and wind-up windows. Total left-hand drive Roadster production amounted to just 2,174 cars. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Production Record Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis S830960 - was manufactured on July 14th 1958. Dispatched to distributor Jaguar Cars, New York two weeks later, the XK150 was supplied new to Charles Counts Esq. Resident in Pennsylvania from at least 1965 until 2013 when it returned to the UK, the Roadster was subsequently treated to an extensive chassis up,

body off restoration that was finished during late 2016. A ‘Special Equipment’ model complete with four-speed manual transmission, the two-seater pleasingly retains matching chassis, engine (block / head) and body numbers. Making good use of the parts available from marque specialist SNG Barratt, the Jaguar had attention paid to its clutch, flywheel, wiring (new loom), steering, brakes and suspension (the latter being uprated with polybushes). Southern Axle Services rejuvenated the back axle and Aldridge Trimming supplied a new interior. The brightwork was refurbished and numerous ancillaries such as the

wiper motor and water pump replaced. Riding on new MWS International 60-spoke chrome wire wheels, the XK150 also sports a stainless steel exhaust and new ‘J’ headlights. Forming part of a small private collection, this handsome Roadster has been sparingly used since passing its first MOT certificate with no advisories on October 12th 2016.

Although both were started and owned by William Morris, Morris Motors Ltd and Morris Garages Ltd operated as separate businesses. Appointed General Manager of the latter in 1922, Cecil Kimber was the concessionaire for Morris Cars in Oxfordshire but also free to retail other marques or indeed try and create his own. The first Morris Garages (MG) cars were specialbodied Morris Cowleys but Kimber soon turned his attention to the more powerful Morris Oxford which was revamped for 1925 with a six-inch longer wheelbase and twelve-inch diameter four-wheel drum brakes. That season’s MG Super Sports range comprised two- and four-seater Tourers and an elegant two-door Salonette; all clothed by Carbodies of Coventry. As well as bespoke coachwork, MG 14/28 models differed from their Morris Oxford siblings by way of the following: a raked steering column, lower instrument panel, repositioned throttle pedal (moved from the centre to the right), relocated handbrake, improved suspension (flatter leaf springs, better dampers) and careful polishing and re-assembly of the engine. Road testing a MG 14/28 in October 1925, Motor Sport magazine found it capable of 65mph and far more suited to the needs of a sporting driver. Total Super Sports production for the 1925 model year amounted to just 125 cars of which only six were Salonettes. Considerably more expensive than their open brethren (£475 vs £350), the enclosed boat-

tailed 2+2-seaters sported such niceties as a V-shaped four-piece windscreen, oval rear window, glass roof vent, rear tool locker (resembling a fuel tank), marine-inspired scuttle vents, sliding glass side windows and twin sidemounted spare wheels. Painted to a customer’s choice they could be trimmed with leather or Bedford Cord. The earliest MG in the world to have survived in a complete and unmolested state (except for the one-off, nonproduction special known as `Old Number One’), chassis 90553 left the Morris assembly line without coachwork on 8th May 1925. Dispatched to Morris Garages and Carbodies of Coventry thereafter, it was not issued with the Berkshire registration number `MO 6709’ until 9th December 1925. Migrating to Wiltshire before WW2, the 14/28 Super Sports was resident in Rettendon, Essex by the 1970s. Acquired by the Sharpe family that same decade, the Salonette was displayed at their Ramsgate Motor Museum until 2005 when Christie’s auctioned its contents. A furniture maker turned Vintage motorcycle and motorcar restorer, the vendor has a particular affinity with Vintage MGs and having rejuvenated a goodly percentage of the survivors can justifiably claim to be an authority on them. Having bought `MO 6709’ via the Christie’s sale, he carefully disassembled it and was surprised to find that the only part of the ash frame which needed repair was the driver’s door pillar. The wide planks which sit atop the chassis rails and often rot were not only

perfectly serviceable but still carried their original body number stamping 3888. The aluminium body panels were similarly well preserved. The engine and gearbox were thoroughly overhauled (the former is a replacement unit but bears its predecessor’s number 103396 on the valve inspection cover plate). A correct-type `Bullnose’ radiator was sourced (a slightly later one having been substituted at some stage) and carries a badge identifying the car as `The MG Super Sports Morris Oxford’. The instruments and switchgear are all original and the interior beautifully trimmed in Red leather with brocade detailing plus interior lights, roof nets and Morris Garages kick plates etc. Proudly displayed at Silverstone as part of the `MG 90’ anniversary celebrations, the 14/28 Super Sports has been very sparingly used since its refurbishment. Starting readily upon inspection, the engine has yet to be `run in’. The whole car remains highly presentable and could quite happily grace a concours field if properly prepared. An utterly charming Vintage saloon in its own right as well as a historically important MG, `MO 6709’ recently graced the front cover of `Enjoying MG’ magazine (November 2017) and was the subject of six-page article within it.

Kagen via Jaguar Cars, New York, chassis 1E11338 began life as a left-hand drive E-Type Series 1 4.2 litre Roadster. Imported to the UK by renowned XK and E-Type specialist Jeremy Broad in 1990, he had it reconfigured for competition usage by Nuneaton Car Crafts. Fitted with an original Abbey Panels aluminium bonnet that is rumoured to have come from Sir Robert Ropner’s factory special order ‘Lightweight’-inspired car and converted to right-hand drive, the two-seater’s alloy boot lid, hardtop and doors were supplied by R.S. Panels. Purchased by Graham Warwick the following year, he loaned it to (Sir) Stirling Moss and Mike McCarthy to contest the inaugural Manx Mountain Challenge that same July. Amazingly, the event marked the first time that Stirling Moss had competed in a Jaguar E-Type (Moss / McCarthy finished 9th out of 60 on day one). A former Works Jaguar and Aston Martin driver, he was piloting Rob Walker’s Ferrari 250 GT SWB (now owned by F1 supremo Ross Brawn) when the E-Type began hunting silverware. Contesting circa 100 races with Graham Warwick behind the wheel and Isle of Man road registered as ‘1 EMN’ during his tenure, chassis 1E11338 was

progressively developed by Richard Ball Racing of Rigby, John Pearson of Whittlebury and Renascence Cars of Atherstone. Running to FIA specification at one stage complete with a 3.8 litre engine (and awarded a FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form accordingly), the Roadster won the 1998 Manx Classic Sportscar race outright. Entrusted to Touring Car and Le Mans ace Win Percy for a race celebrating the 40th anniversary of the E-Type at Donington Park in 2001, chassis 1E11338 qualified a highly impressive 3rd. Retaining the triple Weber carburettor-fed 4.2 litre XK DOHC engine and Getrag five-speed manual gearbox with which it last ran in anger, the two-seater entered the current ownership during February 2016. Used for high days and holidays

since then, the Jaguar has nevertheless been treated to new Lightweight-style bucket seats and refurbished alloy wheels. Starting readily upon inspection and sounding decidedly purposeful, ‘EOL 584C’ offers its new owner the choice of either returning it to competition usage or softening it for use as a fast road car. Who or which is more iconic, Sir Stirling Moss or the Jaguar E-Type? With chassis 1E11338 there is no need to decide.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION Having caught John P. Blatchley’s eye with a striking Alfa Romeo coupe displayed at the Turin Salon, Norwegian designer Wilhelm Koren joined Rolls-Royce / Bentley’s in-house styling department during 1957. No stranger to the avantgarde, the drophead coupe coachwork that he devised for the upcoming Bentley S2 Continental sported a straight-through wing line, cut-back wheelarches and jet engine-inspired head / tail lights. Conscious that Project Tibet (which evolved into the Silver Shadow) would be deemed equally radical and therefore eager to test the public’s reaction to a more modern Rolls-Royce / Bentley aesthetic, Managing Director Dr Frederick Llewellyn-Smith greenlit Koren’s Design No. 991 for Park Ward. Debuting at the 1959 Earls’ Court Motor Show alongside its Bentley S2 Standard Steel Saloon and S2 Continental siblings, the luxurious Drophead Coupe further broke with tradition by utilising contemporary aircraft construction techniques (such as an Erco 300-ton stretch press for panel forming and strengthening spot welds etc). Powered by an all-new 6230cc V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the newcomer’s Continental features encompassed a taller 2.92:1 (as opposed to 3.08:1) rear axle ratio, inclined steering column, lowered radiator, nigh on 120mph claimed top speed and four (rather than two) shoes for its front drum brakes. While to the interior, Design No. 991 boasted a more driver focused instrument nacelle and front seats that were better suited to spirited driving. A marked success, 125 of the 388 Bentley S2 Continentals made were bodied as Drophead Coupes by Park Ward (60 RHD / 65 LHD). Among the most expensive cars available at the time, owners included celebrities, captains of industry and King Hassan II of Morocco. Supplied new to C. Neale Esq. who had it road registered as `GEE 1’, this particular example - chassis BC82AR - is understood to have had three subsequent

keepers before entering the current ownership during 2005. Entrusted to a marque specialist for regular servicing since then, the Bentley has also benefited from some sympathetic modernisation namely the installation of seatbelts by Quicks (2008) and a Becker Mexico Radio complete with sat-nav and Bluetooth / iPhone connectivity plus speakers concealed in its rear armrests (2009). Treated to electronic ignition (2011) and a new starter motor (2016) to facilitate easy starting and smooth running, the S2 Continental is variously described by the vendor as being in `average’ (bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment) or `good’ (engine, automatic gearbox, interior trim) condition.

Reportedly only for sale due to retirement, he tells us that the Drophead Coupe has a power hood and power steering and is `a very usable classic well able to keep up with modern traffic flows’. Rare and elegant in equal measure, this imposing Bentley S2 Continental is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, handbook, tool kit, old MOTs, RREC copy chassis records, sundry invoices and a current `no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until October 2018.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION Reconfiguring the E-Type to house Jaguar’s freshlydesigned V12 powerplant was no easy feat. As well as a change in bulkhead and front subframe, the Series 3 gained revised steering, brake and suspension assemblies, plus a host of bodywork and interior amendments. With the new engine representing a relative leap into the unknown and the XK unit having a loyal following courtesy of its five Le Mans 24-hours victories, Jaguar engineered the Series 3 to accept both. Nevertheless, it is now understood that this is the first and only lefthand drive Series 3 Coupe ever fitted with an XK engine, making it unique and the rarest of all E-Type variants!

Presumed lost for many years and referred to as ‘A Ghost of an E-Type’ and ‘the one missing link’ by Jaguar Enthusiast magazine, it is wrongly listed on various websites as chassis number 1S70001 or 1W700001. In fact, the number clearly stamped into the chassis plate reads ‘1W70001’, and the car would most likely have been identified as such long ago had it not formed part of music producer Pete Waterman’s private collection from the late 1980s to Autumn last year. Waterman’s a long-term Jaguar enthusiast whose stable has included C- and D-Types as well as other significant E-Types, and he acquired the Series 3 via marque specialist Lynx. The salient points of a letter published in the December 1980 issue of Jaguar Driver magazine by the then owner James Johnson of Brooklyn, New York outline its early history: ‘The car is original and concours save for a new paint job, carpeting and exhaust system. Its won second and third prizes in Empire Division Jaguar Club Concours. The only work needed is having the engine paintwork detailed. After purchasing the car I became interested in its history and confirming my suspicions it was extremely rare, so wrote to Mr Bob Lewis at Jaguar Service, Radford, who responded through Cindt Greico at Jaguar Rover Triumph in Leonia, New Jersey. It seems this crossed the desk of Mr Graham W Gardener, Manager Engineering Liaison of JRT in Leonia - who wrote to me

personally. Mr Lewis confirmed the car is what I thought it to be. Mr Gardener told me it is the Series 3 E-Type 6-cylinder imported by JRT Leonia into the US and was used to obtain certification for the 4.2 litre engine for the 1971 model year. Its York air conditioning compressor is unique, as Delco-Air compressors were normally used. Mr Gardener stated that at c.10,000 miles he sold the car to a used car dealership in Queens, New York City. The next owner added 17,000 miles before passing away, at which point his wife wrapped the car in plastic and dry stored it for five years. Unfortunately, the plastic discoloured and mottled the paint, which peeled off with the cover during my purchase.’ The next keeper was marque enthusiast (and former Works D-Type ‘OKV 2’ owner) Godfrey Miller, who later passed it on to Guy Black of Lynx. A windscreen sticker suggests it remained in the US until at least 1986

and, although not warranted, its present odometer reading of 53,807 miles is highly credible. Carefully dry stored during Mr Waterman’s custodianship, chassis 1W70001 has been recommissioned and repainted in recent years but remains notably original. The accompanying Production Record Trace Certificate lists the Date of Manufacture as ‘Not Recorded’, but confirms that the 2+2-seater was initially finished in Warwick Grey with Red upholstery and built for ‘Jaguar Cars Ltd Experimental Dept’. A great Jaguar with great history that can only become more significant with time.

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION Specially ordered for competition usage, chassis PB0528 was supplied new by Andersons Ltd of Newton Mearns, Scotland to trials driver J. ScottHepburn who had it fitted with a bespoke, lightweight body. Road registered as ‘HS 8660’ on February 1st 1936, the two-seater accompanied Scott-Hepburn south when he became an MG Car Company employ some three months later. Acquired by E.C. Haesendonck (whose brother John campaigned one of the MG PB ‘Cream Cracker’ Team Cars) in June 1937, copy factory invoices show that it was ‘tuned specially for Brooklands’. Not content with outings at the famous Weybridge circuit, Haesendonck also ran chassis PB0528 at Crystal Palace. Embracing supercharging for the 1938 season, he drove against Cyril Hawley’s Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, George Abecassis’ blown Alta 2-litre, Peter Aitken’s Frazer Nash-BMW, D.A. Loader’s SS Jaguar and Arthur Dobson’s Riley Six to finish 10th overall in the Crystal Palace Plate Handicap Race on August 13th 1938. Faring considerably better during the Crystal Palace Imperial Plate Race on October 8th 1938, Haesendonck crossed the line 3rd behind A.F.P. Lane’s Frazer Nash-BMW and George Abecassis’ blown Alta 2-litre. Increasingly familiar with the South London track, Harewood steered ‘HS 8660’ to 4th place (2nd in class) in the Crystal Palace Plate Handicap Race on July 1st 1939 and 5th place during the Crystal Palace Imperial Plate Race on August 26th 1939. Thought to have changed his surname in order to join the RAF, E.C. Harewood (nee E.C. Haesendonck) and his age-defying PB were soon ‘back in action’ post-WW2 competing at anything from ‘Club’ to ‘International’ level. A formidable combination their exploits at the 1949 West Hants & Dorset Car Club

Blandford Camp Meeting were later documented by Works MG driver Dick Jacobs in his book ‘An MG Experience’. Reputedly part of a three-car MG team that contested the AMOC’s David Brown Challenge Cup Relay Race at Silverstone on July 28th 1951, ‘HS 8660’ is then thought to have won the West Essex Car Club’s Boreham Meeting before picking up two 3rd places during the BARC Members’ Meeting at Goodwood on August 18th 1951. Returning to the West Sussex circuit for another BARC Members’ Meeting on March 22nd 1952, Harewood claimed 1st and 2nd places in the First and Fifth 5-lap Handicap races respectively. Refusing to grow old gracefully - or slowly - ‘HS 8660’ gave what was arguably its greatest performance during the BRDC’s British Empire Trophy Race on June 18th 1953. Held over the Isle of Man’s challenging Douglas Circuit, the event was spilt up into three heats and a handicap staggered final. With an entry list that included the likes of Reg Parnell (Aston Martin DB3S), Stirling Moss (Jaguar C-type), Hans Ruesch (Ferrari 340), Desmond Titterington (Allard), Ken Wharton (Frazer-Nash Le Mans Rep.), Alan Brown (Cooper-Bristol) and Cliff Davis (Cooper-MG), the seventeen-year old PB seemed hopelessly out of place. Yet when the flag fell for Heat 1 (up to 1500cc), it shrugged aside a half-litre capacity deficit, inferior aerodynamics and comparatively crude suspension to finish 4th out of fourteen. Lining up third on the grid come the final (thanks to Jim Mayers’ withdrawal), Harewood got a tremendous start. Running second by the end of lap one, he inherited the overall and class leads from Cliff Davis on lap four (a scenario that stunned the spectators and commentators alike). Christened the ‘Beam Axle Bombshell’ by Autosport magazine, ‘HS 8660’ sadly succumbed to transmission failure at just over half race distance. Seemingly retired

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION from competition not long afterwards, it fell into obscurity. Surmising that his newly acquired PB had once been a racer, Hampshire-resident Peter Vane wrote to the MG Car Company in March 1963. As well as confirming his suspicions - ‘this vehicle has in its initial stages received considerable attention at these Works and at one time was raced at Brooklands’ - the factory also identified that the car had undergone an engine change (unit 740 APB being supplanted by 2223A 165P). Taken off the road during 1966, ‘HS 8660’ was purchased as a partially dismantled project by renowned pre-WW2 MG collector and restorer Peter Gregory some seven years later. ‘HS 8860’ was sold by Peter Gregory to Kenneth Hawes in 2001 and in May 2003 was acquired from the latter by the current vendor. Since then the PB has been raced extensively in historic events throughout Europe and the UK at venues including Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring, Porto, Cadwell Park, Donington Park, Silverstone, etc. Following a racing accident at Silverstone where the car was barrel-rolled, the body had to be scrapped. The car was then stripped, the chassis crack-tested, the axles refurbished and a complete new body made, with inspiration from the Scott-Hepburn creation. Completed in January 2014, this work was carried out by the renowned Fiennes Restorations at a cost of £77,671 and is to an excellent standard. The interior though, is still spartan and stripped for racing. Full and continuous since the car was built, the racing career of this historically very important MG, which includes pre-war competition at Brooklands and Crystal Palace, is documented by the contents of several lever-arch files. Offered for sale with old-style logbook, (copy) MG factory correspondence, Crystal

Palace and Goodwood programmes, modern race results, sundry bills, assorted magazines, a copy of ‘An MG Experience’, V5C registration document and VSCC ‘buff form’ (to be updated by the new owner). A race-ready ticket of admission to a wide variety of the most prestigious international historic events. PLEASE NOTE: The above account of HS 8660’s history is by no means definitive and we would ask potential purchasers to satisfy themselves as to its provenance (for example the race results listed above have been drawn from a variety of different sources some of which may prove more accurate than others).

* ALL HAMMER PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO A BUYER’S PREMIUM OF 12.5% (SUBJECT TO VAT)

THE MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME AUCTION The first `mass produced’ Ferrari, a curious soubriquet given that just 954 were made over three series, the 250 GTE 2+2 was unveiled to the world’s media at the 1960 Le Mans 24-hours when a prototype was lent to the clerk of the course. As if to reinforce the newcomer’s desirability, the Maranello marque claimed six of the top seven positions that year. Designated Tipo 508E, its multi-tubular chassis frame was derived from that of the 250 GT Pininfarina Coupe / Cabriolet but with the engine and gearbox moved 200mm further forward and the fuel tank repositioned sternwards. Thus, despite sharing the same 2,600mm wheelbase as its predecessor the 250 GTE 2+2 could accommodate two extra passengers. Staying true to established Ferrari practice, it featured coil-sprung independent front suspension, a well-located leaf-sprung rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes. The addition of overdrive to the four-speed manual gearbox was a comparative novelty but the Gioacchino Colombo designed Tipo 128E outside plug 3-litre V12 engine had more than proven its worth. With some 235bhp and 181lbft of torque on tap, the four-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 143mph. Honed by Pininfarina in a wind tunnel, the two-door fixed head coachwork was beautifully resolved with a handsome visage, airy glasshouse, swage line just above the wheelarch tops and subtle tail fins. Nicely trimmed, the model also boasted a carefully considered heating and cold air ventilation system not to mention a surprisingly spacious boot. A vital revenue generator in much the same vein as Maserati’s 3500GT or Aston Martin’s DB4, the 250 GTE 2+2 proved that Ferrari could make a civilised road car every bit as accomplished as its racers. Supplied new to America, chassis 3399GT was first owned by Swiss racing driver Willy-Peter Daetwyler

who had won the FIA’s inaugural European Mountain Championship in 1957 aboard a Works Maserati 200S and also campaigned a Ferrari 750 Monza with great success before migrating across The Pond. Resident in South Africa when the vendor acquired it during 1990, the Ferrari was subsequently used on a regular basis for many years. Taken off the road for restoration, work on the 250 GTE 2+2 was nearing completion when its owner suffered major life changing health problems. The engine is running with good oil pressure and there are no reported drive train faults but the whole car would benefit from recommissioning and a thorough checking over. The interior has been re-trimmed and a stainless steel exhaust fitted but the paint finish could be improved upon. Many 250 GTE 2+2s have been cannibalised over the years either for spares or to replicate more revered models. However, survivors are now being cherished in their own right. Worthy of a return to its former glory, chassis 3399GT is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document and numerous bills / photographs.

Synonymous with (and nicknamed after) Konrad Adenauer - the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany - who ran no less than six during his tenure, the Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (or W186) was launched at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show. Derived from preWW2 practice, its cruciform-braced ovoid tubular chassis frame was nonetheless equipped with all-round independent suspension, hydraulic drum brakes, worm and sector steering and an innovative rear load-levelling control. All new, the model’s 2996cc SOHC straight-six engine featured such niceties as a hardened crankshaft, alloy cylinder head, deep water jackets, thermostatically controlled oil cooling, twin Solex carburettors and copper-lead bearings. Designed to withstand the rigours of high-speed autobahn cruising, it was allied to a fourspeed all-synchromesh manual transmission. Able to accommodate up to six people, the Type 300 was available in Saloon or Cabriolet guises. Elegant, powerful, exclusive and expensive, the big Mercedes-Benz was targeted at plutocrats and politicians (though, more than a few found favour in Hollywood too). The ‘C’ variant was the last of the line and featured an enlarged rear window and the option of automatic transmission. The righthand drive 300 C offered was exported new to Australia and brought to the UK in 2003. At this point it was consigned to marque specialist Martyn Marroco, where the chassis and body were comprehensively checked and repaired as necessary before ‘OBK 781’ was completely repainted in Black. New tyres were sourced from the USA, seat belts installed, and the correct Becker radio unearthed and fitted complete with iPod input. Other upgrades have included brake booster, windscreen wash/wipe, rear view mirrors and full Brown leather interior. Very smartly presented, this rare Benz comes with full paperwork in support of the restoration that was completed in 2013, plus a CD-ROM of the work in progress. A stunning motorcar.

(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

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

18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions. 18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed. 18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller. 18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot. 18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due. 18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose.

GENERAL CONDITIONS 20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party. 21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable. 22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers. 23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot. 24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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