Notes for Intending Purchasers Prospective purchasers are respectfully advised to read the Terms and Conditions of Sale carefully before bidding on any lot, as they form the terms of your contract with us, whether or not you are a successful bidder. Admission H&H has the right at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason whatsoever, to refuse admission to any of its sales or indeed its premises to any person. The purchase of a catalogue does not constitute an entry ticket or guarantee entry. Bidder Registration To enable the Auctioneer to recognise bidders during the sale all intending buyers are required to complete a Bidder’s Registration Form. This will enable you to bid at the sale by means of a number allocated to you. All prospective bidders must complete the form giving full identification and appropriate references and produce identification, which will take the form of a current UK driving licence or passport. All Lots sold will be invoiced to the registered bidder. If you lose your catalogue or bidder’s number please notify reception immediately. References We reserve the right to request banker’s references from prospective purchasers and these should be supplied in time to allow them to be taken up prior to the sale. Failure to comply with this could result in the facility to bid being withdrawn. Currency Converter Solely for the convenience of bidders, a currency converter is provided at H&H sales. The rates quoted for conversion of other currencies to pounds sterling are indicative only and provided by our partner Currency Solutions. We will not be responsible for any errors, inaccuracies or omissions in the currency converter. Currency Solutions bank beating rates could end up saving you up to 5% on the cost of your sale or acquisition. Additionally, they can fix exchange rates “on the hammer” removing the risk of foreign exchange losses in the days after the auction. For further information, please contact +44 (0) 207 740 0000.

The rates are as follows: Motor Cars 12.5% Registrations 12.5% Motorcycles 12.5% Bicycles 12.5% Automobilia 12.5% Warranty H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description. This is the reason for our very specific terms as to roadworthiness (Condition 19.1) and absence of warranties (Condition 12.1), which intending purchasers should read carefully. Commission / Telephone Bids We will make reasonable efforts to execute commission and telephone bids when instructed provided they are received by 5pm the day before the Sale. Lot(s) will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Where more than one commission bid is submitted at the same winning amount, the commission bid submitted to the Auctioneer first will be the winning bid. We reserve the right to request a refundable deposit of approximately 10% of the intended bid amount. Payment For immediate clearance of Lot(s) full payment must be made to H&H Classics Limited by means of Banker’s Draft, Building Society Cheque, Visa Debit or Credit Card, Maestro, MasterCard, Cash up to £9,000 or Interbank Transfer by 12.00 noon the day following the sale.

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.

It was acquired by the vendor in March 1996 and returned to the mainland, at which point it had covered 22,000 miles. In 2000 he moved abroad, so placed the vehicle in storage with a total mileage of 48,378 being displayed. On awaking it from those slumbers it was evident that the car had suffered and was looking generally unloved, which decided the vendor to treat it to a thorough refurbishment. The body was stripped by a classic car specialist and given a bare metal respray in its original Lotus livery. The engine fluids were changed, a couple of fuel injectors and the water pump ‘O’ ring replaced, and a new battery installed plus new brake pads. The engine was then fully detailed and is now said to ‘run beautifully’. The Black leather interior had survived well and needed no further attention than a good clean. The original stereo system was reinstalled along with a period Clifford alarm system. The boot was re-carpeted in its original colour, and the emergency spare wheel remains in place and has yet to been used. A new Vauxhall badge bonnet badge was fitted but the original is to be included with the car. All four tyres have recently been replaced and the Vauxhall, now showing 48,391 miles, is considered by the vendor to have ‘excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, twinturbo straight-six engine and six-speed ZF manual

An iconic supercar, the 911 (930) Turbo Cabriolet was introduced in 1985 and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and 150mph. According to its accompanying HPi report, this Porsche was first road registered as ‘D973 TBM’ on July 3rd 1987 and underwent a colour change from Red to Black some fifteen months later. The same document indicates that it has never been stolen or the subject of an insurance write off. Presenting as a 911 Turbo Cabriolet, the 2+2-seater carries a DVLA issued ‘SABTVR’ chassis number and a special note on its V5C Registration Document which states: ‘Kit Built / Converted - Assembled from parts all of which may not be new’. Whoever reincarnated ‘D973 TBM’ did not stint on its specification. As well as the obligatory whaletail rear spoiler, the Porsche boasts a five-speed manual gearbox, turbocharged 3.3 litre engine, Alpine radio/cassette stereo, passenger door mirror, wind deflector, electric roof, air-conditioning, electric windows, headlamp washers, white-faced instruments and electrically adjustable / heated front seats. Entering the current ownership in June 2006, the Cabriolet is thought to have covered some 39,000 miles since its conversion (with the vendor being responsible for 9,500 of those). Treated to a new clutch cylinder during 2008, the Porsche benefited from a new exhaust and brake pads two years later plus some remedial paintwork and sundry new parts such as a fuse box, rear valance, cabriolet roof seal and bumper bellows. Fitted with a new ignition control unit and ignition coil in 2013, ‘D973 TBM’ has only been driven some 200 miles in the past year. Offered for sale at a fraction of the price of a 911 Turbo Cabriolet with a Zuffenhausen-issued VIN, this tempting Porsche comes with an Agreed Value Certificate of Insurance for £40,000, original instruction book, tool kit, space saver spare wheel, 12v compressor, sundry paperwork, three keys, old MOTs dating back to 1997 at an indicated 25,943 miles and a current one valid until 30th June 2019.

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever made, the Jaguar SS100 has been an object of desire for more than eighty years. Due to its rarity and value the model has inspired numerous imitations. Though, few - if any - have been as aesthetically accurate as the cars built by Terry Rowing of TRAC Engineering. By the late 1980s Rowing had established an enviable reputation for restoring genuine SS100s and learnt how to remanufacture components such as the solid brass chromed radiator surround, alloy louvered bonnet and folding windscreen etc. Deciding to create a Jaguar XJ6-based SS100 Evocation that combined the style and feel of the original with more modern road manners, he approached current Red Bull F1 designer Adrian Newey (a customer at the time) for permission to take precise GRP body moulds from the latter’s superb 1938 car. Unveiled in late 1990 the resultant TRAC prototype was well received by the motoring press. The production version was predominantly supplied in ‘home-build’ form at the rate of four a year until 1996 when the manufacturing rights were purchased by Roger Williams of Suffolk Sportscars. Reborn and refined as the Suffolk SS100, the design remains in production to this day. Based on a 1982 Jaguar XJ6 4.2 donor car, ‘SSJ 142’ was reportedly factory built by Suffolk Sportscars in 2013. Understood to have covered some 3,800 miles since its transformation, the two-seater has had just one previous keeper as a SS100 and entered the current ownership during September 2016. Finished in Green with Beige hide upholstery, it is described by the vendor as being ‘excellent overall’ with regards to its 4235cc engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Suffolk Jaguar Pre-Used SS100 PDI Check List and MOT certificate valid until October 2019.

This handsome home market Cloud I was supplied new in 1957 by renowned London dealer Jack Barclay and was apparently in the same family ownership from the early ‘70s until purchased by the vendor’s father in 1999. The following year it was treated to a full bare metal restoration and respray. The Rolls nowadays sports Black over Silver bodywork complemented by Red leather interior trim and has been equipped from new with power steering. The vendor presently judges the bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission to all be in ‘very good’ condition, and he is now making the Cloud available complete with relevant receipts and photographs. Rolls-Royce launched the Silver Cloud in April 1955. It was based on a completely new closed box section frame that was reputedly 50% stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. The distinguished-looking standard body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, the proportions of which belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in. Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke bodies, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering - a steel shell with aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid. The car was powered by an alloy-headed, straightsix engine of 4887cc that delivered some 155bhp at 4,000 rpm. This was mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Braking was by servo-assisted 11 inch drums all round. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and featured a live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Changes introduced in 1956 included the incorporation of twin brake master cylinders and the option of power steering and air conditioning. A test by Motor magazine in 1956 recorded a top speed of 102.9mph and a time of 13.5 seconds for the 0-60mph dash.

New master and slave cylinders have been installed, while the suspension has been rebushed and the anti-roll bars replaced. The E-Type also boasts a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox and nowadays rides on Minilite alloy wheels. The vendor presently describes the Jaguar’s transmission as ‘excellent’, the bodywork, interior trim and engine as ‘very good’ and the paintwork as ‘good’. In summary he said: “This is no trailer queen, but a car to be used and enjoyed.”

The E-Type made its debut at the Geneva motor show of 1961 and was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of 150mph. It initially sported the same 3.8-litre version of the ubiquitous XK engine that powered the last of the XK150Ss; this was mated to a manual four-speed Moss box, with synchromesh on the top three gears. The suspension was independent all round and the newcomer featured power-assisted disc brakes - inboard at the rear.

Dominating the 1952 Earl’s Court Motor Show, the ‘Healey Hundred’ drew crowds like a magnet. Penned by Gerry Coker, its low-slung stance, swooping lines and fold flat ‘racing’ windscreen screamed sports car. Conscious that there was a gap in the export market between Jaguar’s XK range and the MG T-series, BMC supremo, Leonard Lord immediately propositioned Donald Healey as to a joint venture. A facsimile of the show car, the resultant Austin-Healey 100 sat atop a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and all-round drum brakes. Powered by the Austin A90 Atlantic 2660cc engine developing some 90bhp and 144lbft of torque, it offered strong acceleration and a 110mph top speed. As part of his tireless publicity campaign to promote the newcomer, Donald Healey entered a team of four pre-production cars for the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour race. Running with standard windscreens, interiors and even bumpers, two of this mildly tweaked quartet survived to finish 12th and 14th overall (an amazing result for such a comparatively inexpensive model in near stock condition). A ‘home market’ car, ‘RNY 780’ was treated to a photographically documented restoration during the 1980s as part of which its livery was changed from Orange to Ice Blue. Retaining the three-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox associated with the BN1 model, the Austin-Healey has had its front brakes uprated from drums to discs. Further benefiting from a recent repaint, it sports full weather equipment including a tonneau cover and sidescreens and is described by the vendor as being in ‘fabulous yet usable condition’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and ‘nice history file’.

970 UYP

CHASSIS 728496 The development of Citroën’s ever-charming Deux Chevaux dates back to 1936, ie a couple of years after the company had been rescued by Michelin. It was intended to motorise the large number of French farmers still relying on horses and carts, and it was research carried out amongst France’s largely rural population that determined the following unique design brief: a low-priced, rugged ‘umbrella on four wheels’ that would enable four peasants to drive 110lb of farm goods to market at 31mph in clogs and via muddy,

unpaved roads; including transporting eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. Production was delayed by WWII, but began in 1948, following which 3,872,583 2CVs were manufactured via 11 factories across the world (including one in Slough, England) between 1948 and 1990, by when the ageing design had been defeated by contemporary legislation. The quite exceptional lefthand drive 2CV on offer is a van version that’s been fully restored in its original Michelin livery and is considered by the vendor to be of concours standard throughout. The body-off refurbishment re-employed as many of the original components as possible, and included: the fully overhauled chassis, engine, gearbox/transaxle, brake and steering

The load area is equipped with a tyre rack containing four Citroën 2CV tyres, while the roof hosts an original Monsieur Bibendum figurine that illuminates whenever the vehicles lights are employed. For added effect, ‘970 UYP’ comes complete with an original set of 1960/1970 fitter’s overalls. Under the circumstances it comes as no surprise that the fastidious vendor considers the bodywork, paintwork, cloth interior trim, two-cylinder boxer engine and fourspeed manual gearbox to all be in ‘excellent’ order, and is offering this charming item of French automotive history with MOT into September 2019.

By 1971, Jaguar’s jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat’s performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. With some 272bhp and 304 lb ft of torque on tap, the Series III version once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space which, together with wider tracks front and rear, new anti-dive front suspension and fatter tyres, gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheelarches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, it also benefited from vented disc brakes and a restyled interior. Manufactured on 6th April 1972, CVC 999K was despatched on 26th April to Henlys of Coventry. The car pleasingly retains its original colour combination of Willow Green with Beige leather together with its original registration number. The previous owner entrusted it to specialist Steve Hart of Kings Lynn for restoration in 2006 (summary of work on file) which included a bare metal respray and professional cleaning of the interior to retain the original leather. Subsequently forming part of his large private collection, it was used sparingly following completion of the works. A desirable manual transmission example, it is offered with Swansea V5C, JDHT Certificate, Vehicle Information Sheet, assorted invoices and a selection of old MoTs.

It was the first of the so-called `pony’ cars that subsequently included the Chevy Camaro, AMC Javelin and revamped Chrysler Barracuda. It also inspired such Coupes from elsewhere in the world as the Ford Capri and Toyota Celica. It was styled in house under the direction of Joe Oros and utilised as many components as possible from the existing Falcon and Fairlane models, in order to

Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 units for the first year, but that mark was surpassed within the first three months and no less than a million were built in the first year and a half.

Launched at the 1954 Motor Show, the XK140 boasted the same bewitching styling as its forebear allied to a host of mechanical improvements. Chief among these was the adoption of rack and pinion steering and the fitment of telescopic shock absorbers to improve roadholding. With engine and bulkhead repositioned further forward, the model enjoyed a notably roomier cabin. Available in ‘standard’ or ‘special equipment’ guises, the XK140 was among the fastest cars of its generation. For many the most desirable variant, the Roadster accounted for some 3,350 sales during its four-year production. This Special Equipment example with overdrive was, according to a letter on file from Jaguar dated 1988, originally finished in Pastel Blue with Red leather, manufactured on 13 December 1955 and supplied to a Charles Johnston of Fort Knox, Kentucky via Jaguar Cars New York. At some point during its residency in the US the engine was replaced before it was imported to the UK around 1988 and converted to righthand drive. Acquired by the vendor in 1996, we are informed the car was treated to a thorough restoration immediately following its purchase and that the engine has been overhauled by Sigma Engineering during his custodianship. Improvements have continued to be incorporated over the years including stainless steel silencers by Sigma Engineering (2004), Coopercraft XK150 brakes (2004), louvred bonnet, new hood and sidescreens by GB Classic Trim (2010) and refreshing of the bodywork by RPS Bodyworks (2014), for which invoices are on file.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION Jaguar made 943 E-Type 3.8 Roadsters to right-hand drive specification the first 92 of which featured the same external bonnet locks as ‘77 RW’ the open two-seater that had taken the motoring world’s breath away at the March 1961 Geneva Salon. 18 of the 92 were allocated according to an internal `Priority List’ with recipients including `Lofty’ England, John Coombs, Tommy Sopwith, Sir Gawain Baillie and Bruce McLaren etc, while 56 were supplied to Jaguar’s UK dealer network for use as demonstrators. Intended to boost showroom traffic and fill order books, the demonstrators were all dispatched from Browns Lane during July 1961 with their onward sale being embargoed until at least September. One of the highly coveted 56, chassis 850064 served as the demonstrator for W. Sparrow & Sons of Yeovil, Somerset. Issued with the local registration `655 MYC’ on 25th August 1961, the Jaguar was obviously cherished by its early owners who ran it under the number plates `PKN 1’ and `275 GJB’. Belonging to Richard Main of Kidlington by 1971, the E-Type then passed through the hands of Dennis Dark of Cardigan, Stephen Harvey of Aberystwyth and Roderick Thompson of Nottingham before being acquired by William Jones of Porthcawl on 6th January 1984. Determined to restore the historic open two-seater to its former glory, Mr Jones enlisted the help of renowned marque specialist Martin Robey to carry out a `System 3 Rebuild’ of the bodyshell that incorporated such correct attributes as the flat floor, single drain hole for the boot, welded-in louvre panels / external locks to the bonnet and special door chrome trims etc. The original engine, number

R1232-9, was reconditioned by Classic Power Units of Coventry, while the gearbox and rear axle were entrusted to Alan R. George of Dyfed (another member of the Jaguar Specialists Association). Jones and Rand of Porthcawl repainted the car in its initial Opalescent Silver Blue and by the time that surveyor and valuer A.E. Fogg BSc, LLB inspected the car in December 1990 it lacked only an interior. A copy of Mr Fogg’s report is on file and notes: `This vehicle is one of the earliest surviving Jaguar E-Type Roadsters in right-hand drive form . . . There is no doubt about the authenticity of the vehicle, all numbers agreeing with the production records revealed by the Jaguar Car Company . . . The car has the appropriate early production features, including the flat floor and the teardrop covers for the external bonnet locks . . . The vehicle has been extensively refurbished and is totally rust free . . . All mechanical components have been overhauled, and the car runs very sweetly with

good oil pressure and normal running temperature’. The renovation was completed circa 1992 and the car re-inspected by Mr Fogg in March 2005 who found chassis 850064 to have been finished to a very good standard, well maintained and to have covered some 8,000 miles since his last visit. Offered for sale at the Goodwood Festival of Speed auction that same June, the Jaguar was bought by marque specialist Twyford Moors. Purchased from the latter by Mr A.J. Connolly in late 2005, the E-Type was sparingly used and kept garaged alongside an Aston Martin DB6 Volante. Entrusted to The Carrosserie Company (UK) Ltd by Mr Connolly for some £6,156.41 worth of fettling to its brakes, engine, ignition system, exhaust manifolds, hood and dashboard etc during Spring / Summer 2016, the open two-seater entered the current ownership the following year.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION Despite presenting as a well-executed older restoration that had covered some 11,000 miles since its late 1980s / early 1990s rejuvenation, the vendor decided to have chassis 850064 treated to an extensive `nut and bolt’ refresh by renowned marque specialist XK Engineering. The engine was stripped, checked over and reassembled with new gaskets, while attention was also paid to the cooling system, carburetion / fuel system, brakes, suspension, clutch and back axle / differential. The Jaguar was repainted again in its original Opalescent Silver Blue livery and the Dark Blue interior trim / soft-top suitably smartened too. The original bulkhead retains its original body tag (number R1241) and the engine cylinder block and head are stamped with R1232-9 as per the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate.

Almost as sharp underneath as it is on top, this potential concours contender retains early fittings such as its wiper motor (date stamped March 1961) and shows patina to items like the bonnet-mounted heater intake duct and air filter housing. Too pristine for the seller to feel comfortable using following its April 2018 completion, `655 MYC’ is offered for sale with optional works-specification hardtop, Jaguar tool roll, restoration invoices (encompassing a full parts breakdown from XK Engineering), UK V5C registration document and Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. One of the highly coveted 56 UK dealer demonstrators and among the very earliest E-Types known to have survived, this magnificent Jaguar would grace any serious collection and is worthy of close inspection. It is worth noting that the last ‘external bonnet lock’ Jaguar E-Type to go under the hammer - a left-hand drive fixed head coupe - made $720,000 at RM Sotheby’s 2018 Monterey auction.

Keen to (a) extract more power from the 1500cc B-Series engine then powering its MGA and Magnette models, and (b) once again create an MG model suitable for competition, BMC began evolving a DOHC version of the four-cylinder unit in 1954. Development was slow, however, and it was not until 1958 that the Twin-Cam MGA finally came to market. The specification of chain-driven camshafts nestling atop a cross-flow alloy cylinder head augured well, and the 1588cc, 108bhp newcomer did not disappoint, reputedly being capable of 0-60mph in 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 115mph. With Dunlop disc brakes all round, the model stopped well too. However, the tardiness of its introduction, early engine maladies and fierce competition from such motorsport-proven rivals as the Triumph TR3 and Austin-Healey 100 saw manufacture curtailed after just two years; by which time only 2,111 examples had been produced, 1,801 of which were Roadsters. Of course, with modern knowhow and fuels, the Twin-Cams will run with decent reliability and good examples are now highly prized. This right-hand drive, ‘home market’ Twin-Cam Roadster was acquired by the vendor in 2002. Finished in Red matched to a Black interior, its odometer displays a credible 96,840 miles. Having been featured on the front cover of MGA 1500, 1600, Twin Cam (Osprey Autohistory) by F. Wilson McComb, we are informed that ‘155 XVB’ is a previous concours winner. It is offered for sale with original brown log book, continuation green log book, current V5C Registration Document, large collection of invoices and 25 old MOT certificates. The vendor currently grades this smart looking example as ‘good’ with regards to its engine, interior, paintwork, gearbox and bodywork.

Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model’s 3164 cc (hence ‘3.2’) flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to a fivespeed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and a 153mph top speed.

Early examples of the 3.2 employed the 915 type manual gearbox with reverse gear located beneath fifth, while 1987 to 1989 models had the stronger G50 unit in which reverse was located beside the fifth ratio. An optional ‘Sport’ pack became available during 1984, comprising a deeper front valance, ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler, stiffer Bilstein dampers and 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels with black centres.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION America’s ubiquitous Jeep is synonymous with WWII, even though production didn’t begin in earnest until 1942 - half way through the hostilities. The vehicle’s evolution is complex, but resulted from the US army’s approach to 135 American automotive manufacturers to submit designs for ‘a general purpose personnel or cargo carrier especially adaptable for reconnaissance or command and designated as a ¼-ton 4x4 truck’. Willys won the resulting three-way tussle with Ford and Bantam, but by the Autumn of 1941 it was clear they could not satisfy demand, so Ford was tasked with manufacturing the vehicle in parallel. The Ford version was dubbed GPW (Government Passenger Willys) which, in contracted form, may have spawned the generic term Jeep (GP said slowly, sounds a bit like Jeep!), though there are other equally plausible explanations for the moniker. Weighing in at little more than a ton and equipped with a torquey L-headed 2.2-litre engine driving all four wheels via a threespeed manual box and two-speed transfer case, the tough, go anywhere Jeep did its job well, sparking a number of imitations - not least the original Land Rover. By the end of the war, close to _ million examples had been produced - 280,000 of which were manufactured by Ford. Many survive around the world and are regularly employed in film work, war games or for simply having fun. The GPW now being sold is pretty special. In fact we’d go so far as to say it’s the best example we have had the privilege to offer at auction. It has undergone a full bodyoff nut and bolt restoration, re-employing as many of the original components as possible - including: chassis, body tub, wings and combat rim road wheels, plus the correct and fully overhauled engine, gearbox and axles. The list of accompanying original wartime accessories has to be seen to be believed, so here goes:

• English airborne radio and accessories

• Early deactivated Bren gun and wartime cover

• Dated fuel can • Wartime shovel and pick axe

• Early deactivated Thompson rifle and original clip holder mounted in its original wartime rifle holder

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION From birth the E-Type was available as a Fixedhead Coupe or two-

seat Roadster. For 1966, a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range that was 9in longer and featured a more vertical windscreen. The Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971, all but a handful of which were fitted with Jaguar’s new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original (short) wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as Roadster (now based on the longer 2+2 floorpan) or 2+2 Coupe. Production of the Series 3 model continued until 1975, when the range was superseded by the XJS; by which time some 15,000 V12-engined examples had been produced - most of which were exported to North America. Series 3 E-Types are readily identified from their predecessors by the large cross-slatted radiator grille, flared wheel arches, wider track and V12 badge on the rear. This most eye-catching of home market Series 3 E-Types is finished in the strident combination of Primrose Yellow bodywork and Black leather upholstery. It was supplied new by Lathams of Loughborough on March 18, 1974 and has had just three keepers to date; the second one of whom, a Group Captain, retained the car from 1976 to 2010. It is accompanied by every MOT ever issued, which fully endorse the low indicated mileage of 49,000. It also comes with the distinctive registration ‘18 VT’, which has adorned the Jaguar since at least 1976. Other inclusions are a full set of weather equipment and hood cover; the car’s original book pack and wallet; Heritage Certificate; bill for £5,195 relating to the Group Captain’s purchase; pair of keys; wheel tools and tool roll. The vendor of this decidedly handsome Roadster currently grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, automatic transmission and V12 engine as all being in ‘very good’ condition.

Donald Healey’s eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the `Healey Hundred’ (a moniker chosen to reflect the car’s ability to reach 100mph), and, subject to a suitably encouraging response, Healey planned to build production versions in-house at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype impress the public, but also so excited Austin’s Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the AustinHealey 100. The rest is history. The `Big’ Healey enjoyed steady development with the four cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was followed by the first of the 3000s in 1959 and the MKII 3000 in 1961. Identifiable by its new grille and bonnet air intake, the MKII was still available as a two-seater (BN7) or four-seater (BT7). Power was increased to 132bhp, courtesy of a superior camshaft and trio of 1.5 inch HS4 SU carburettors mounted on separate inlet manifolds. The smartly-presented lefthand drive BT7 is finished in Cream over Blue and was originally dispatched from the factory in May 1959 to Detroit, Michigan. We are informed it was purchased in New York during 2013 by the previous vendor as a rust-free example and then restored over a two-year period including a new interior, hood, carpets and wire wheels. More recently ‘788 XVA’ has received a new fuel tank, carburettor overhaul, oil change and rear brake overhaul plus the addition of a new spare wheel and tyre. Offered with heritage certificate, collection of invoices and although exempt an MOT certificate into November 2018, this handsome Healey is currently described by the vendor as ‘very good’ with regards to the paintwork, bodywork, engine, interior and gearbox.

Moreover, as a high percentage of all E-types were exported to America, righthand drive home market versions were produced in relatively small numbers and are therefore now surprisingly few and far between - in the case of the standard wheelbase Series 2 Coupe we are talking about what ever remains of just 1,070 cars. The notably tidy and highly original example offered was first registered on October 5, 1970 and has had a mere two owners from new, who’ve amassed just 68,000 miles between them - the first keeper retained the Jaguar for nine years and the second for the subsequent 39, commencing on September 28 1979. ‘KOO 100J’ is the subject of an older restoration (carried out between 1979 and 1984) but remains in very presentable condition throughout, complete with its original interior trim. It is finished in Regency Red, upholstered in a suitably contrasting shade of Beige leather and rides on shiny chromed wire wheels. A scuttle-mounted telescopic aerial serves a period pushbutton radio and a set of inertia reel seat belts have been neatly installed in the rear quarter panels. Those who favour cars with a good history file will be knocked out by the one accompanying this car, which is one of the most comprehensive we’ve seen in a long time and includes the following relating to the last 39 years of ownership: notes covering the body and mechanical restoration; photographic record; detailed notes of every service; a maintenance chart; sales invoices; a handwritten record of all costs incurred; old MOT certificates; a detailed log of every journey undertaken from 1984 onwards; a series of hand drawings.

CHASSIS WP0ZZZ99ZVS370238 This lefthand drive 993 series Turbo features the special order colour scheme of Grand Prix White bodywork matched to a Red leather interior. It began life in Sharjah in the UAE before being sold, in turn, to a Qatar national and then a Scottish expat, also based in Qatar, before being acquired by the vendor in 2007 and imported by him to the UK in 2016. During his tenure, the car has been maintained regardless of cost and also benefited from a number of desirable upgrades.

For example the Porsche main dealer in Qatar was commissioned to fit new: turbos and pipes; extra oil cooler; Bilstein PSS10 dampers all-round; brake discs and pads; Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres; and to refurbish the wheels and brake calipers and respray the whole car in its original colour. Some 5,000 kilometres ago, the Porsche was treated to a full engine overhaul during which a GT3 crank; RSR oil pump; Viton gasket set; Pauter rods; Aesa valve springs; Ti seats; lower steel retainers; custom rod bearing; and stock pistons, barrels, valves and single mass flywheel were all installed. The crank cases were shot-peened, dowelled and windaged and a new clutch fitted. At

Since arriving in the UK it has been treated to many other new items including: engine loom, plugs, battery, leads, steering arms, belts, sensors, oil pipes, alarm and central locking system etc. This exciting Porsche is nowadays UK registered with all duty paid. The vendor tells us the car ‘goes like a rocket and is a show-stopper wherever she goes’. The total mileage to date (there have been two speedometers) is 70,000 kilometres, and ‘P352 BNW’ is being sold complete with a huge file of invoices for all the work carried out, plus an MOT valid into July 2019.

What began as a pipe dream between Lotus’s design staff and Autocar magazine and evolved as a concept car shown at the 1998 Birmingham International Motor Show became a production reality in February 2000. Based on the extruded and bonded aluminium chassis of the Lotus Elise and using lessons learnt from the 190 Sport and 135 Elise programmes, the 340R was equal parts series production car and track day special. Powered by a 1.8 litre K-Series VHPD (Very High Power Derivative) engine allied to five-speed manual transmission, the 340R was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 132mph. However, straight-line speed was never its forte.

The split windscreen was replaced with a single sweep of toughened glass and the scuttle height raised, along with the waistline. Inside, the walnut dashboard of the XK140 was replaced by a leather-trimmed one, while thinner doors gave more interior space.

The Sunbeam Tiger was conceived in the West Coast of the USA and inspired by the success of the AC Cobra - the result of inserting a small-block American V8 engine into the nose of the British AC Ace. Rootes American Motors Inc. saw the potential for performing a similar operation on the stylish four-cylinder Sunbeam Alpine. Preliminary research suggested that the engine used to produce the Cobra - Ford’s 4.3-litre (260ci) ‘Windsor’ unit - would be the appropriate powerplant, and a prototype was commissioned from Carroll Shelby, the man behind the Cobra project. Unveiled at the April 1964 New York Motor Show, the resultant Tiger incorporated uprated steering, suspension and brake assemblies but retained the Alpine’s basic layout and sheetmetal. With a quoted 164bhp/258lbft on tap, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in under eight seconds and 120mph. Distinguishing itself on race tracks and rally stages alike, the model accounted for some 7,085 sales from 1964-1967. According to the vendor, this handsome ‘home market’ Tiger has been subject to ‘a sixteen-year restoration project costing more than I would wish to total’. More powerful than the 260ci (4.3 litre) unit it supplanted, a fresh 302ci (5 litre) V8 engine is now installed aboard ‘CDN 111C’ sports an Edelbrock alloy inlet manifold, four-barrel Holley carburettor, ‘Cobra Powered by Ford’ rocker covers and a stainless-steel exhaust complete with gas flowed headers.

CHASSIS SWC188 Rolls-Royce launched the Silver Cloud in April 1955. It was based on a completely new closed box section frame that was reputedly 50 percent stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. The distinguished-looking standard body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley. The car was powered by an alloy-headed, straight-six engine of 4887cc that delivered some 155bhp at 4,000 rpm. This was mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Braking

was by servo-assisted 11-inch drums all round. The Silver Cloud II unveiled in 1959 brought a redesigned ventilation system and standardised power steering. The biggest change, however, was the replacement of the 4.9-litre six-cylinder engine with an all-alloy 6.2-litre V8 unit. The unquoted output was sufficient to whisk the newcomer to 60mph in under 11 seconds and on to a top speed of 112mph. A total of 2,717 Cloud IIs were built between 1959 and 1962.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ‘The best driver we ever had and, I consider, the best British driver of his day. One who never made a mistake and always obeyed orders . . . He won Le Mans three times running, an achievement no one else has equaled. He was a formidable man, behind a glass of whisky, behind a driving wheel, and behind a boardroom table. He enjoyed himself with Bentley Motors, enjoyed the racing and the status it brought him in the public eye. In spite of 1931, and the bankruptcy, ‘Babe’ and I never quarreled’.

W.O. Bentley on Woolf ‘Babe’ Barnato Son of Barney Barnato who became a billionaire in today’s terms when he sold the Kimberley Central Diamond Mining Company to Cecil Rhodes’ competing De Beers firm in 1889, Woolf Barnato was born on 27th September 1895 at Spencer House, 27 St. James Place, London. Educated at Charterhouse School and Cambridge University where the lack of a driving licence did not prevent him from crashing his elder brother’s two-cylinder Renault through a shop window, he joined the Royal Field Artillery during World War One. Enduring the horrors of Passchendaele and fighting as far afield as Gaza and the Jordan Valley, Barnato had risen to the rank of Captain by the advent of peace. Forced to take legal action so as to unlock his inheritance, the early 1920s saw him emerge as one of the UK’s richest people. A supreme sportsman, Barnato excelled at golf, cricket, shooting, swimming, boxing, power boat racing and motor car racing. Ardenrun Hall, his 1,000 acre Surrey estate, boasted its own golf course, pub and cricket nets (the latter good enough to entice Don Bradman to practice in). A familiar face at Brooklands and personal friend of both Sir Malcolm

Campbell and Ettore Bugatti, Barnato campaigned a variety of machinery but did not buy a Bentley until 1925. Legend has it that the ebullient playboy would have acquired one of Cricklewood’s products sooner had he not mistaken W.O.’s reserve for standoffishness. Enticed into becoming a ‘Bentley Boy’ by marque concessionaire and fellow WW1 veteran Captain John Duff, Barnato swiftly became leader of the pack. Part of the Works Team alongside Duff and Dr J.D. Benjafield which set new 1,000km and 24-hour speed records at Montlhery in September 1925 aboard a Bentley 3 Litre, that same year saw him save the fledgling manufacturer from bankruptcy via a cash injection of £100,000 (c.£6,000,000 today). A further £175,000 followed by the decade’s end as did a restructuring of the company which left Barnato as Chairman elect with 149,500 shares (out of 150,000). Single-handedly responsible for bankrolling Bentley’s 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 Le Mans 24-hour victories, he co-drove on the latter three occasions and thanks to his perfect starts-to-wins ratio at La Sarthe was christened ‘Mr 100%’ by the event’s organisers, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest.

Having funded the development of the 6½ Litre and 4½ Litre, Barnato had his pick of Cricklewood models and was only too happy to demonstrate them to the Bright Young Things of the Jazz Age. As well as Ardenrun Hall, he had a flat at 50 Grosvenor Square in London’s Mayfair and hosted legendary parties at both. Fellow Bentley Boys Bernard Rubin, Tim Birkin and Glen Kidston also had flats on Grosvenor Square and quickly established a ‘Bentley Corner’ for their parking needs. Barnato’s country house guests included starlets from the West End musicals he invested in who were treated to impromptu races along his drive complete with faux pits serving champagne (his garage rarely held less than twelve cars). A frequent visitor to America, he was a regular on the Cote d’Azur too typically driving there in the latest Bentley (and famously racing the Blue Train back on one occasion). According to Clare Hay’s authoritative tome ‘Bentley The Vintage Years 1919 – 1931’, Captain Woolf Barnato is known to have been the original owner of just two

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION normally aspirated 4½ Litre cars. The first – chassis ST3001 (or ‘Old Mother Gun’ as the Works nicknamed it) – was the 4½ Litre prototype that he co-drove to win the 1928 Le Mans 24-hours with Bernard Rubin, while the second – chassis NX3457 – is the car now on offer. ‘Old Mother Gun’ evolved into the Bentley Jackson single-seater Brooklands racer which featured a bespoke chassis and 6½ Litre engine. An accompanying copy of the Bentley’s factory maintenance record shows that chassis NX3457 was built with ‘Glacier lined steel shells fitted to conrods’ and ‘Vanden Plas Sports 4-seater – Our Own Body’ for the use of Capt. W. Barnato. The same document reveals that the 4½ Litre had ‘4 new Dunlop Fort Covers Fitted’ during September 1929 and its clutch changed the following month. The guarantee for chassis NX3457 was transferred in November 1929 which was presumably when Barnato ceased to drive it (the mileage covered during his stewardship being an indicated 9,860 or more). Interestingly, chassis NX3457 was the first of the NXseries cars to be delivered in March 1929 (a month or two ahead of its siblings). The NX-series engines debuted a new type of more durable conrod design and it is entirely plausible that chassis NX3457 was used as a guinea pig. Barnato not only covered a far greater mileage (at higher speeds) than the average motorist but was also more likely to be understanding of mechanical failure. One of its sister cars, chassis NX3451, was built to ‘Le Mans’ specification by the Competition Department for William Berkley ‘Bummer’ Scott who raced it at the Irish Grand Prix and Brooklands (6-hour and BRDC 500-Mile) in 1929. Another noteworthy point is that when the Open 4-seater was first road registered as ‘GU 1927’ on 23rd March 1929 by London County Council it was not to Barnato’s city or county addresses but in the name of Bentley Motors, Pollen House, Cork St, London W1.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION The ex-Barnato machine’s next keeper is noted as Colonel J.F. Neilson of Pear Tree Cottage, Woodbridge, Suffolk and while we have been unable to establish whether they were one in the same person another Colonel J.F. Neilson acted as liaison to the newly formed Bolshevik army during World War One. Thereafter, the 4½ Litre is known to have belonged to – or passed through the hands of – Jack Barclay Ltd of Hanover Square W1, Walsh & Gillson Ltd of Bruton Place W1, Sir John Donaldson Hudson of the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool (a partner in John Logie Baird Ltd), J. Rudd Esq of ‘Arcadia’, Bramhope, R. Taylor & Co Ltd of Lozells, Birmingham, William Landless Esq. of ‘Norwood’, Rossendale, James Bown Esq. of Stockport, Harry Faulkner Esq. of Stockport, Malcolm Holt Esq. of Cheadle Hulme, John James Pennington Esq of Gatley, Reg Parker of Nuneaton, William Loughran, Mr Whittaker (Isle of Man) and Leon Litchfield prior to entering the current ownership in September 2011. Extensively restored by John James Pennington during the 1960s, chassis NX3457 was treated to a second thorough refurbishment some two decades later. Commissioned and overseen by Reg Parker, this more recent work included a mechanical rejuvenation by Wiltshire-based marque specialist Tony Townsend and the fitting of a new Vanden Plas-style ‘Le Mans’ body by H&H Coachworks of Henley, Oxfordshire. Always an Open 4-Seater, few would argue against the appropriateness of a car first owned by thrice Le Mans winner Woolf Barnato wearing ‘Le Mans’ style coachwork especially as it remains so original in other respects. Dr Clare Hay has prepared a report on ‘GU 1927’ copies of which will be made available to interested parties. Interestingly, a photo taken by Autocar magazine in the yard at the Hotel Moderne makes her think that the 4½ Litre was present for

the 1929 Le Mans 24-hours (though, whether Woolf Barnato drove it there and back himself is unknown). Our own inspection has revealed that the number ‘NX3457’ is visible to the chassis (dumb iron lozenge, front cross member), front axle, back axle, steering box and bonnet. The C-Type gearbox numbered ‘6545’ is original too and the engine bears the correct number ‘NX3459’ to its crankcase and magneto tower. The 4½ Litre unit is fed by ‘Sloper’ SU carburettors (rather than vertical ones) but they are of an unusually large internal diameter – 1 7/8-inches. Scarcely driven whilst part of Leon Litchfield’s collection, the Bentley has been thoroughly recommissioned by the vendor. Entrusted to Formhalls Vintage & Racing Ltd for a £28,492.80 overhaul, the engine had its crankshaft reground, camshaft reprofiled, water pump / oil pump rejuvenated, flywheel refaced, crankshaft / flywheel balanced and cylinder block rebored before being treated to new bearings, con-rods, pistons and roller rockers etc. Neil Davies Racing supplied a new pressure plate for the reconditioned clutch and replacement engine / drivetrain mounts, while D.H. Day (another

marque specialist) refurbished the thermostat and reconditioned the twin ML ER4 magnetos. North Wales Radiators Ltd re-cored what appears to be the factory-installed Gallay radiator, while MWS International Ltd rebuilt or renewed the five 21-inch wire wheels and fitted new Dunlop F4 tyres. A lifelong enthusiast who learnt his mechanical skills from his older brother and garage owning father, the vendor spent a considerable time experimenting with different carburettor needles (courtesy of D.H. Day) so as to get the engine revving freely and pulling strongly. He also paid attention to the steering, brakes and suspension. The gearbox retains its original speedometer drive for a 15/53 rear axle ratio but the current ratio is thought to be 13/51 so the speedometer under reads slightly. All in all the fettling has cost tens of thousands of pounds and taken hundreds of hours. The result is a W.O. Bentley with a pleasingly gentle patina and in rude mechanical health. Next year marks Bentley’s Centenary and what better way to celebrate it than to acquire the 4½ Litre of marque saviour and three times Le Mans winner, Woolf ‘Babe’ Barnato?

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION The Scaglietti 2+2 Coupe was penned by Frank

Stephenson under Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina, and it is said that design, especially the strident side scallops and headlights, were a nod to the coachbuilt 1954 375 MM that film director Roberto Rossellini had commissioned for his wife Ingrid Bergan. The newcomer replaced the outgoing 456 but, being physically larger, was a genuine four-seat Grand Tourer. It was Ferrari’s second all-aluminium vehicle (the first being the 360 Modena) and comprised a spaceframe manufactured in concert with Alcoa, that was a combination of extrusions and castings to which the body was then welded.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION Hailed by none other than Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful car in the world and partially derived from the thrice Le Mans winning D-Type, Jaguar’s E-Type is among the twentieth century’s very greatest sportscars. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 889732 - was built on 30th December 1963 and shipped to Jaguar Cars, New York less than three weeks later. First owned by Dr A.J. Lozare, the E-Type belonged to John Suer of Walnut Creek, California some forty-eight years later. Boasting matching chassis, engine and body numbers, the 3.8 litre Coupe was repatriated by the vendor in March 2013 and subsequently treated to an extensive, `bare metal’ restoration. Renovated by North West Classic Car Restorations Ltd of Stockport, the bodywork had its boot floor, inner / outer sills, end closing panels, front wings and floors replaced with the rest of the bonnet and rear wings being repaired as necessary and the engine frames renewed (courtesy of M&C Wilkinson of Doncaster) prior to being repainted in its original Opalescent Silver Grey livery. The engine was entrusted to Headshop (UK) Ltd of Warrington: `K’ liners to all valve guides, valve seats recut, new valves, head face skimmed, block rebored (+40), new Mahle 9:1 pistons, new big-end / main bearings, oil pump overhauled and SNG Barratt’s rear crank seal and front crank seal spacer conversions. Subsequent dyno testing showed 224bhp @ 5,300rpm and 267lbft of torque at 3,300rpm. The radiator was refurbished by Cropper and Jones with a new header tank and hoses. The heater box was rejuvenated and had its internals upgraded via an improved heat exchanger and fan. New heater pipes were run to the bulkhead and new hoses used throughout. A new wiring harness and fuse boxes were

installed and the electrics converted to negative earth. A Fosseway Performance 50 Amp Dynator mimics the appearance of the original dynamo but functions as an alternator. New lights were fitted as required including left-dipping headlights. The original instruments were checked and renovated where necessary. SNG Barratt supplied a new Bell stainless steel exhaust system. To the interior Martin Robey-sourced 3.8 Coupe seats were upholstered by Lee Drake Auto Trim, while B.A.S. were responsible for the remaining trim and carpets. A fresh AP clutch was mated to the original flywheel and the car uprated with a refreshed later E-Type all-synchromesh 4-speed manual gearbox, new propshaft and overhauled differential (though, the original Moss gearbox is available if requested). The suspension was rejuvenated with polybushes and the components up front zinc plated by Alkemi Metal Finishing Technologies. New brake discs were installed all-round with upgraded Coopercraft 4-pot alloy callipers at the front and standard Dunlop 2-pot callipers to the rear. New seals and stainless steel flexi hoses were employed at each corner with remote nipples at the rear for easy bleeding. The conversion to right-hand drive entailed a replacement steering rack plus new bushes / track rod ends but the steering arms are otherwise original. Returning to the road in October 2016, `LCL 928A’ remains highly presentable. For many, nothing beats an E-Type Series 1 Coupe finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with Red leather upholstery. Needless to say, chassis 889732 owes the vendor rather more than its guide price and indeed is only for sale because of the demands of another E-Type project. A decidedly attractive `Big Cat’, its history file contains numerous restoration receipts / invoices plus DVLA correspondence and a valid MOT certificate etc.

According to the vendor, this gorgeous lefthand drive ‘Eleanor’ evocation has been the most photographed car at the Americana International event for several years, and it’s not at all hard to see why. It has been in the current ownership since 2012 but, as confirmed by the old MOTs, has sadly had relatively little use since 2011. It was restored in 2015 and its 289ci engine fully overhauled by V8 specialist Vospower just 100 miles ago, when the extensive replacements included pistons, camshaft, and water pump. Other recent maintenance has seen the overhaul of the brake calipers and the installation of a new fuel tank. As an Eleanor lookalike, ‘KCE 154F’ is finished in Pepper Grey and trimmed in Black vinyl. The vendor presently classes the engine, paintwork and electrical equipment as ‘excellent’, and the dramatic bodywork, upholstery and three-speed automatic transmission as ‘very good’, and is now selling the car complete with history file dating back to 1995 and a current MOT valid into July of next year. Desperate to attract young, enthusiast buyers to its brand, Ford launched the inaugural Mustang in 1994. It had its corporate fingers crossed for sales of 100,000 in the first year. As things transpired it hit that figure in the first three months and the million mark after just 18 - the car was a runaway success. As often happens in the automotive world, the model then grew with time, and the modified ‘67 version portrayed as ‘Eleanor’ in the film ‘Gone In 60 Seconds and the ‘68 one immortalised by Steve McQueen in Bullitt, were a more imposing breed of horse.

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.

CHASSIS BB49HY14750 Acutely aware that the Cortina was in the autumn of its competition career, Ford’s competition department had been developing a race/rally version of the Escort throughout 1967 and had the Twin-Cam ready to roll at the same time its standard siblings were finding their way onto the public roads. The car immediately excelled on track and stage, and with victory on the Circuit of Ireland, Tulip, Alpine, Acropolis, Scottish and 1000 Lakes rallies, the Twin-Cam helped secure the ‘World Rally Championship For Makes’ for Ford in its first year

of production. It then repeated the feat the following year, setting the Escort en route to becoming the most successful rally car of all time. The Twin-Cam’s name and performance resulted from basically the same 1558 cc Lotus-derived DOHC engine that powered the Lotus Cortina. The 109.5bhp unit was mated to the slick fourspeed manual gearbox from the Ford Corsair 2000E. Suspension was by MacPherson struts up front and a live Lotus Cortina axle complete with radius arms at the rear. Some 883 examples were made before the TwinCam gave way to the BDA-engined RS 1600 in 1971. The lovely home market Twin-Cam on offer came off line at Ford’s Halewood plant in November 1968 and

It is finished in the contrasting combination of White bodywork and Black vinyl interior trim and has been the subject of a recent comprehensive restoration programme, during which all the mechanical components received attention. The engine now apparently currently produces 118bhp, and the vendor regards the bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, engine and four-speed manual gearbox to all be in ‘excellent’ order. The odometer currently reads a credible but unwarranted 34,450 miles, only 300 of which have been covered since the restoration. ‘BIJ 1444’ comes complete with its original green log book.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION ‘How does one cope with blind passion? I was a ruined man. A visit to the showroom for a closer look was devastating. The car was immaculate, perfect, with tonneau covers and spares etc which had never been used’ (W. Randolph Angell, May 1954)

‘The car has predominantly been in one family and its recorded mileage is some 15,000 miles. It is therefore something of a timewarp . . . It is complete in every detail as built and thus unique’ (Ken Lea of the Bentley Drivers’ Club reporting on ‘DLO 936’, November 2013) We believe chassis B135FC to be the (a) most original and (b) best-preserved Derby Bentley in the world. Those might seem bold claims but this exceptional machine has covered just 15,500 miles from new in the hands of two very careful keepers and a Guardian Angell. Notable as the last of only four 3½ Litre cars to wear Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe coachwork, the four-seater remains original with regard to the following: Two-Tone Red paintwork (save for some touching-up in places), Red leather upholstery, carpets, boot lining, ash frame, aluminium panelling, engine, gearbox, front axle, rear axle, steering, suspension, brakes, brightwork, wood veneers, instrumentation, tools, glass, pedal rubbers and even chassis paint (the latter now protected by matt lacquer)! According to its accompanying Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club copy build records, chassis B135FC was despatched to Vanden Plas Ltd of London NW9 on 6th May 1936. Initially ordered for stock, the Bentley was fitted with body number 3476. Incorporating such extras as a louvred scuttle, peaked wings and ribbed running boards, the Drophead Coupe was supplied new to Robert S. Hayward Esq. of The Hawthorns, Galashiels. A director of the nearby R & A Sanderson Woollen Mill, he was allowed £50 in part exchange for his old Bentley 3 Litre but still had to pay a further £1,490 to secure its successor. Acquired in part to help celebrate one of his brother-in-law Sir J. Donald Pollock’s many awards, the four-seater was first road registered as ‘DLO 936’ on March 1st 1937. Elected a fellow of the Royal Society

of Edinburgh that same year, Sir Donald was among the University of Edinburgh’s greatest ever benefactors and served as its Rector from 1939-1945. Used sparingly for special occasions and mothballed during World War Two due to petrol rationing, the 3½ Litre had covered a modest 11,000 miles by the time that Mr Hayward entrusted its sale to the Edinburgh Motor Engineering Co (located near the University’s Old Quadrangle) in 1954. Displayed with its bonnet open and a door ajar, the Bentley caught the attention of Boston, Massachusetts-born academic W. Randolph Angell Esq. Recalling the encounter in his memoirs the latter described it thus: “How does one cope with blind passion? I was a ruined man. A visit to the showroom for a closer look was devastating. The car was immaculate, perfect, with tonneau covers and spares etc which had never been used. The asking price was beyond my means and in any case I had no driving licence or any sensible place to keep the car even if I were able to acquire it”. Further showroom visits ensued as did the prospect of losing `DLO 936’ to a South African collector. Suitably panicked, Mr Angell found the requisite funds and became its proud owner during May 1954.

Accompanying documentation includes correspondence between Messrs Hayward and Angell, handwritten receipts from Mr Webster of Edinburgh Motors for the purchase price (£1,350, 7th May 1954) and tax / insurance (£32, 18th May 1954) plus another for seven driving lessons (£5 8s 1d, 8th June 1954). To have depreciated by just £140 over seventeen years indicates that Mr Angell’s appreciation for ‘a motor car the like of which is grace personified compared to the pressed-steel, bloated tin-can automobiles as produced by my country today’ was no mere hyperbole. Treasuring the Bentley, its new owner acquired a Riley Kestrel 15/6 for everyday usage and later a Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster to drive on high days and holidays. Stored at Edinburgh Motors until December 1973 when the oil crisis forced its closure, the 3½ Litre accompanied the Angell family to first Glasgow and then Kirkliston. Accompanying MOT certificates issued in May 1970 and April 1980 list recorded mileages for the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe of 15,030 and 15,195

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION miles respectively. One of its few public outings being to the ‘Bentley Shell 500 Golden Jubillee 1919-1969’ celebrations at Oulton Park (a sticker for which remains affixed to the windscreen). Ever wary that a road traffic accident would compromise its remarkable originality, Mr Angell ensured that ‘DLO 936’ spent less and less time on the public highway. Parked up in his Kirkliston garage for thirty odd years, it benefited from surroundings that were not only watertight but also conducive to preservation in terms of moisture and light levels. Reluctantly offered for sale by Mr Angell’s heirs in 2013, the Bentley entered the current custodianship that same October. Blown away by the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe’s condition, the vendor set about recommissioning it to an exhaustive, obsessional degree. For instance, he spent a week soaking the original fanbelt until it could be reused and was genuinely upset that the period spark plugs could not be made to perform satisfactorily! Losing count after investing 1,500 hours of labour in the project, his efforts meant that all but one of the factory-fitted leather gaiters have been successfully reconditioned. Very few professional restorers, regardless of their calibre, would have matched the seller’s attention to detail or patience. He re-used well over ninety percent of the original nuts and bolts with most of the modern interlopers being found in the stainless-steel exhaust system (complete with correct cut-out mechanism). Keen to do the best job possible, the present owner enlisted the help of renowned Derby Bentley expert and the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation’s Chairman of Trustees, Ken Lea who carried out a first-hand inspection and advised on works. Mr Lea was reportedly amazed to discover that the ash frame was so sound even down to the fillets used between the running boards and their brackets and the sawn-off ends of the scuttle hoops. A careful strip down of the original engine (number E9BC) revealed bore wear in keeping with the recorded mileage and more surprisingly that all six pistons were stamped with the engine number and individual serial numbers.

After much deliberation the decision was taken to rewire the four-seater for safety reasons (the prospect of such an archetype of Derby Bentley originality going up in flames does not bear thinking about). Needless to say, the replacement wiring loom is faithful to factory blueprints with an authentic cloth-bound look. The seller also chose to install a higher final drive ratio inside the original rear axle casing and, replace the hood and upgrade the fuel system. The initial final drive ratio and petrol pump come with the car as do letters between Mr Angell and Vanden Plas concerning the soft-top’s deterioration (the former coachbuilder advising that as a subsidiary of Austin it was no longer in a position to renew the hood). Indeed, the very few modifications made to improve drivability in today’s traffic - including discrete indicators - are all easily reversible without affecting the car’s fundamental essence. Where one of Vanden Plas’s standard Drophead Coupe bodies for the Derby Bentley chassis would feature plain wings, limited bonnet louvers and plain rubber covers for the running boards as standard, the one fitted to ‘DLO 936’ sports more sculpted wings, louvers that extend through to the scuttle and individual rubber strips for its running boards. Interestingly, chassis B135FC was delivered some eleven months later than chassis B133FC (a Thrupp & Maberly Saloon supplied new to Lord Harris MC) so the former may well have been built to special order. There really is no substitute for inspecting ‘DLO 936’ at first

hand. Only then can one appreciate its freakish originality and state of preservation. A matchless testament to the craftsmanship of Bentley and Vanden Plas, the car is also a great credit to each of its three custodians: Robert S. Hayward (1937-1954), W. Randolph Angell (1954-2013) and the vendor (2013-present). A worthy competitor in the preservation class of any major Concours d’Elegance, this incredible `matching numbers’ 1937 Bentley 3.5 Litre Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe is accompanied by its original Bentley Motors Guarantee complete with covering letter and carboard tube (dated 11th March 1937), a continuation buff logbook, old MOTs, assorted storage bills, two Bentley 3.5 Litre Instruction Books (both with B135FC on the inside front cover), copy RREC chassis cards, false starts to Mr Angell’s handwritten memoirs (as they relate to the Bentley), sundry Bentley Drivers Club correspondence / publications, circa £20,000 worth of bills from Ristes, Will Fiennes and MWS International etc plus assorted other paperwork. Sliding behind the wheel, it is entirely appropriate that one’s view forward is given a sepia tinge by the windscreen (the cellophane sandwiched between its glass layers having yellowed with age) because driving ‘DLO 936’ is liking stepping back in time. ‘Unique’ is an overused word but chassis B135FC is that and so much more. For anyone hoping to amass the definitive Bentley collection, it surely deserves a place.

Designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, the 2 + 2 Coupe version was produced from 1957 to 1964, with the majority of the research and development being carried out in 1956/1957, despite the company’s commitment to the F1 World Championship. The newcomer featured Touring’s patented ‘superleggera’ construction (as used for the Aston Martin DB4) and was powered by a version of the 350 S’s straightsix DHOC engine modified to best suit a Grand Tourer, and therefore with dry rather than wet sump lubrication etc. It developed 217bhp when fed by a trio of twin-choke Weber carburettors, or 232 when equipped with Lucas fuel injection. The unit drove through a four-speed (later five-speed) ZF manual gearbox. Total production of the Coupe was just under 2,000 and the model was superseded by the Maserati Sebring. 1 of just 40 righthand drive examples the sale car dates from 1961 and is finished in Red matched to a Cream hide interior.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION Inspired by the eighteen Type 135 Speciale racers built between 1935 and 1937 which distinguished themselves on events such as the Grand Prix de l’A.C.F, Spa 24-hours, RAC Tourist Trophy, Grand Prix de Pau, Mille Miglia, and Donington 12-hours before winning the 1938 Le Mans 24-hours outright, chassis 46328 began life as a 1936 Delahaye Type 132 but was reconfigured in the style of a Type 135 Speciale during the 1980s. Highly authentic, the transformation was carried out by then custodian Jacques Capoulade and included shortening the car’s wheelbase from 2.86m to the correct 2.70m. Modelled after one of the 1936/7 Ecurie Bleue team cars to which Monsieur Capoulade had access, the Evocation’s appropriately hued two-seater aluminium bodywork is punctuated by a plethora of louvers, Marchal headlamps, twin aeroscreens, bonnet slats and dual fuel fillers etc. Accessed via two diminutive doors the interior plays host to red leather upholstery and a bank of Jaegar instruments. Fitted with such correct-type goodies as an alloy cylinder head, individual exhaust header manifold, quick-fill rocker box cover and triple side-draught Solex carburettors, the Type 103 3.6 litre straight-six engine is mated to four-speed Hotchkiss manual transmission. Acquired in 1990 by well-known historic racer / collector Robin Lodge whose stable has also housed a Lancia D50, Ferrari 246 F1, Ferrari 250 GT SWB and Maserati 250F etc, the Delahaye soon had its mettle tested. Competing very successfully with the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association amongst others at the likes of Montlhery, Nurburgring, Silverstone, Brno and Donington etc (not to mention participating in several Mille Miglia retrospectives), chassis 46328 was maintained by Tony Merrick and Steve Hart Racing during Mr Lodge’s ownership. Though, from the late 1990s onwards it was predominantly enjoyed as a fast road car. Bought by its previous keeper during 2011, the Delahaye

was entrusted to Peter Jaye for minor fettling and Pace Products for new gearbox internals. Successfully completing the 2013 Paris to Madrid Rally with journalist Peter Hall at the wheel, the two-seater also won its class at the 2014 Mdina Grand Prix historic meeting. Entering the current ownership some three years ago, `334 LPA’ has proven a thrilling road car. Improved following attention to its brakes, hydraulic shock absorbers and cooling system, the Delahaye is only being offered for sale because the vendor is looking to rationalise his collection. More authentic than many such evocations, this stunning looking machine exudes a light patina in keeping with the age of its transformation and indeed has been described by marque authority Andre Vaucourt as

`a very good looking replica, probably one of the best’. Riding on Blockley tyres, it is offered for sale with a UK V5C registration document, copies of Delahaye’s original chassis drawings for its competition cars, other marque related paperwork, expired FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Forms (in both French and English), numerous invoices and a worthwhile spares package comprising an engine block (complete with crankshaft), new alloy cylinder head, cast iron cylinder head, two Cotal electromagnetic gearboxes (one dismantled) and several brake drums etc.

This notably handsome righthand drive Silver Cloud I has only recently benefited from a comprehensive restoration and overhaul of its six-cylinder engine, and the vendor now grades the Rolls’ bodywork, paintwork, powerplant and automatic transmission as ‘excellent’, and the interior trim and electrical equipment as ‘very good’. A 1957 model, it was exported new to southern Africa where it was employed by the Rhodesian Government as an official Ambassador car. It remained on that continent until repatriated by a private collector in 2002 and has most recently resided in Ireland, where the restoration took place. It is finished in the pleasing combination of Shell Grey over Tudor Grey and trimmed in Red hide. Wearing the registration ‘BSV 552’, this delightful British classic comes complete with power steering, which was a rare fitment on such an early Cloud I. The indicated mileage is a low but credible 33,180. Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud was based on a completely new closed box section frame that was reputedly 50% stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. The distinguished-looking standard body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, the proportions of which belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in. Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke bodies, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering - a steel shell with aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid. The car was powered by an alloy-headed engine of 4887cc, which delivered some 155bhp at 4,000 rpm. The unit was mated to a fourspeed automatic transmission. Changes introduced in 1956 included the incorporation of twin brake master cylinders, and the option of power steering and air conditioning. A 1956 test by Motor magazine recorded a top speed of 102.9mph and 13.5 seconds for the 0-60mph dash.

CHASSIS 1R10359 Of the 72,584 E-Types produced, c.71 percent were exported to North America and 14 percent to other territories. So it stands to reason that, as UK passion for the car continues unabated, more and more of those export models have found their way back to the UK - especially from such meteorologically favourable climates as California. The apparently immaculate Series 2 Roadster now on offer is just such a car. Its attendant Statement of Build confirms a construction date of August 19, 1969, while entry into the export

By 2000 the damaged car had found its way to the UK and was undergoing a full nut and bolt restoration. Overseen by the vendor and a classic car mechanic friend, all the major work was assigned to an array of established professionals as follows: the bodywork was carried out by Alan Proctor of Jaguar Restoration, Nottingham; the engine by Ron Beaty of Forward Engineering, Balsall Common; the gearbox by Brown

The original livery of Primrose Yellow bodywork and Black leather upholstery was retained, and the only departures from original were the conversion form left to righthand drive, the replacement of the lacklustre Americanspecification Stromberg carburettors with SUs, and the fitment of electronic ignition. Perfection was paramount and every nut and bolt was galvanised to avoid future corrosion. Since completion this lovelylooking Roadster has attended the model’s 40th and 50th anniversary celebrations, but still only accrued 6,600 miles, and is now available complete with MOT to April 25.

Synonymous with (and nicknamed after) Konrad Adenauer - the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany - who ran no less than six, 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 (later replaced by a recirculating ball set-up) and an innovative rear load-levelling control. All new, the model’s 2996cc SOHC straight-six engine was allied to four-speed 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 vast majority of the 642 Type 300 Cabriolets made were to left-hand drive specification. Reputedly one of just seven right-hand drive examples made, chassis 1860145500489 was supplied new to Mercedes-Benz Brentford on 26th May 1955. Finished in special order ‘Teil Dunken Blau’, the 300b Cabriolet D is further believed to have first seen service as a German embassy car in London and to have worn the number plate ‘1 GER’ (Germany had not long been allowed to appoint a UK ambassador following WW2). Sold to a private individual in Liverpool during the mid-1960s (presumably after its diplomatic duties had finished), the four-seater was acquired by its last owner in 1972. A German businessman visiting the UK who not only recognised the Mercedes-Benz’s rarity and historical significance but could also see beyond its forlorn condition, he left the 300b Cabriolet D in England until transporting it to Bremen, Northern Germany during 1978. Mothballed for the past forty years awaiting the restoration it so richly deserves, the four-seater was most recently UK road registered as ‘OSF 475’ which it is hoped the DVLA will reissue to a successful purchaser.

This change was necessitated by the launch of the Land Rover Discovery, meaning the father of the range could no longer be called just a Land Rover - it too needed its own model name. The Discovery also brought a new engine to the party, the 200Tdi which, as fitted to the Defender, resulted in higher cruising speeds

Throughout the ‘90s, the model commenced the climb upmarket while remaining true to its roots. Limited editions were introduced, as was a completely new variant - the 110 Double Cab. Engine changes became a regular occurrence with the 200Tdi being followed by the 300Tdi, Td5 and then the Ford DuraTorq that appeared in 2.4-litre form in 2007 and then 2.2-litre guise in 2012. Although of smaller capacity, the engine’s power and torque outputs remained the same at 122bhp and 265 lb ft respectively. Defender production exceeded two million before the model was dropped in 2016.

The Type 153 was Heinkel’s three-wheeled competitor to the BMW Isetta, Messerschmidt KR200 and other bubblecars of the austere late ‘50s/early ‘60s. Powered by a rear-mounted single-cylinder, four-stroke engine of

204cc (later reduced to 198cc), it featured a front opening door plus a fabric sunroof that served both as a fair-weather accessory and escape hatch in the event of the door becoming jammed. European production was carried out in Germany from 1956 to 1958, and then under licence in Dundalk, Ireland from 1958 to 1960, and by Trojan Cars on the UK mainland from 1960 until the cessation of the model in 1966. The latter examples were marketed as Trojan 200s and were the last vehicles to bear the Trojan name. This example had recorded just 6,000 miles by the time it was stored in a barn in 1967. And that is where it remained until purchased by the vendor in 2013. Following a complete strip down, the shell, door and engine cover were sent to Ribble Technology where they underwent a gentle paint removal and dipping process before being rinsed in a phosphate solution and baked. They were then electrostatically primed and baked again before being treated to a full repaint in Red, and then reassembled by S & A Vehicle Restorers and Builders of South Reddish, Stockport using new parts from the Heinkel Owners’ Club plus the engine was overhaul by the technical director of the Heinkel owners club. Now immaculate, with the fully restored exterior complemented by equally smart Red check cloth interior trim, the vendor unsurprisingly now considers the microcar’s bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, engine and transmission to all be in ‘excellent’ shape. The total mileage has still only increased to 6,801 and this delightful and rare bubblecar is now being offered complete with its original green logbook, collection of invoices, and photos of the restoration. Although not currently road registered with the DVLA, it is hoped that the presence of its original green logbook will help a future owner to reunite the Trojan with its initial number plate ‘MMG 31C’ (as shown in the photos). The perfect antidote to the computer-designed and controlled technical wonders of today.

CHASSIS ZFFLJ65C000185151 Introduced at the Paris Salon in 2008, the Ferrari California had been conceived as a grand tourer rather than an out-and-out sports car. Intended to appeal to those who might otherwise opt for a Bentley, Aston Martin or Mercedes-Benz, it was the Maranello marque’s first design to feature the following: a front-mounted V8 engine, twopiece folding metal roof, dual clutch seven-speed transmission, direct fuel injection and multi-link rear suspension. Styled by Pininfarina and subject to over 1,000 hours of wind tunnel testing, the newcomer utilised aluminium for both its chassis

and bodywork construction. Related to that in the F430, its 4297cc ‘quad cam’, 32-valve V8 developed some 453bhp and 358lbft of torque and was allied to the aforementioned dual clutch seven-speed transmission as standard (though, Ferrari would fit a six-speed manual to special order). Despite being among the least expensive models in the range, the California boasted carbon ceramic disc brakes and the traction control system from the marque’s flagship 599. Plus it could still sprint from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and onto 193mph. Less demanding to drive than its siblings and therefore more enjoyable during everyday ‘real world’ motoring, the notional 2+2-seater more than fulfilled its brief of attracting new customers to the Ferrari fold.

2012 FERRARI CALIFORNIA 107 656 recorded miles

This particular example was purchased from H.R. Owen (South Kensington) for £166,000, its impressive specification included a yellow rev counter, aluminium foot rest, iPod installation, cruise control, carbon fibre driver zone and steering wheel, carbon fibre central tunnel, Beige central tunnel and armrest, leather / alcantara trim / Daytona, Scuderia Ferrari shield, Magnaride Dual Mode, Red Brake Callipers, parking sensors, interior / exterior electrochromic mirrors, special stitching and 20in Diamond Finished Wheel Rims and was entrusted to Jack Barclay for some £2,700 worth of additional colour coding. Now displaying 656 miles to its odometer, this highly presentable California is offered with H.R. Owen New Vehicle Invoice, original book pack (recording a service at 360 miles) sundry paperwork and an MOT certificate into January 2019.

Subsequently forming the basis of the legendary Carrera RS 2.7, the so-called E-Series 911 was introduced for the 1972-model year. Powered by an enlarged 2341cc (‘2.4’) SOHC six-cylinder engine allied to either five-speed manual (Type 915) or Sportmatic transmission, the newcomer benefited from revised rear suspension mountings which helped quell compound strut movement and so improved roadholding over imperfect road surfaces not to mention rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Morphing into the F-Series for the 1973-model year, Porsche’s 911 2.4 range still encompassed ‘T’, ‘E’ and ‘S’ versions. Typically carburettor-fed, the former boasted some 130bhp / 145lbft of torque and was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 128mph. Supplied new to Italy, this particular example - chassis 9113501832 - is 1 of 1,875 ROW (non-US market) F-Series 911 2.4 Ts made. Imported to the UK and road registered as ‘ABW 312M’ during February 1998, the Porsche has spent the past decade or so in Southern Spain. Treated to a full professional respray during 2016, that same year saw it entrusted to C.S. Porsche Sportwagen Marbella for a thorough engine overhaul. Continuing into 2017, bills for the work total circa 30,000 Euros and include the likes of a new crankshaft, starter motor, fuel pump, six cylinder barrels / pistons, plug leads, carburettor parts and valve guides etc. A correct-type 911/59 unit (number 6533187), the engine is thought to be original to the car. Sporting a wood-rim Nardi steering wheel, Black leatherette upholstery, five-speed manual transmission and fresh Michelin tyres, it is hoped that this appealing Porsche will have been fitted with wheel centres, sill trims and new batteries by the time of sale.

Unrestored E-Types are becoming rarer by the minute, which makes ‘6905 WK’ (the car’s original Coventry registration) a particularly interesting proposition being fully matching numbers including the gearbox. A lefthand drive Series 1 export example, it came off line in November 26, 1963 originally finished opalescent golden sand and was then shipped to Jaguar Cars New York, who were responsible for delivering it to its first owner, an M Lubin. The Jaguar then clocked up 70,612 before being placed in storage in 1979, where it remained until recently repatriated. At some stage the engine was removed with the intention of having it overhauled, and while now reinstalled, its condition is currently unknown. It’s fair to say that the whole car will need a degree of recommissioning after all these years. However, the attraction of a relatively low mileage Series one E-Type that’s so far only dwelt in the rust-free environment of California is self-evident. Finished in Maroon and trimmed in Red leather, the E-Type is presently gauged by the vendor to have ‘very good’ bodywork, ‘average’ interior trim, and ‘poor’ paintwork. One of just 5,871 lefthand drive Series 1 Coupes made, ‘6905 WK’ is being sold complete with Heritage Certificate. The Jaguar E-Type was the sports car that put the swinging into the ‘swinging sixties’, that no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed ‘the most beautiful car in the world’, and the sexy feline that transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. In 1996 the New York City Museum of Modern Art recognised the model’s design significance by a adding a blue Roadster to its collection. In 2004, Sports Car International magazine voted it the best sports car of the ‘60s, while four years later it topped the Daily Telegraph’s list of the ‘100 most beautiful cars of all time’.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION “The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL departs from other sports cars in two respects. First, it does not resemble a rocket ship or a fugitive from a racetrack. It is sporty but deliberately unflashy. It will never embarrass you, whether keeping fast company in a rally or arriving at the White House. Second, it is one thoroughbred sporting machine that isn’t stark or cramped. That doesn’t make you pay for soul-stirring performance with ringing ears or stiff joints. It is a civilized sports car. For adults.” (Road & Track magazine 1969)

121

Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model or range of models since 1954, when the landmark 300 SL was unveiled. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. Their successor was the W113 series. The last of the line, the 280 SL was launched in 1968. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier siblings, it was powered by a new seven bearing crankshaft 2781cc straight-six engine that developed some 170bhp and 180lb ft of torque. The SL was equipped with all round independent suspension - double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Braking was by power assisted discs all round and steering was by recirculating ball. The car’s ‘square’ track (some eight inches wider than the contemporary Jaguar E-type) gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power assisted steering. The SL was available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of which came with both a soft-top and the famous ‘Pagoda’ hardtop roof (so called because of its gently

scalloped centre section). Some 23,885 280 SLs were reputedly made by the time production ceased in 1971, virtually half of which were exported to the USA. The popular W113 Series of cars was replaced by the all new and substantially heavier R107 350SL/450SL range. This very pretty and rare 280 SL is a UK specification righthand drive example featuring Blue bodywork and Black leather interior trim. It has been the recent subject of a full repaint and interior retrim to bring it up to standard, all the work for which was carried out by individual professionals or VAT registered garages.

As a result, the vendor not surprisingly grades the Benz’s bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic transmission as all being in ‘excellent’ condition. He is now making the car available complete with factory soft and hard tops, a comprehensive file of invoices, receipts and photographs and an MOT valid into September of next year. ‘NFR 187G’ currently displays a total mileage of 91,000.

Supplied new by Jack Barclay Ltd of 12-13 St George St, Hanover Square, London W1 to Eric Low Beer Esq. of Norton Priory, near Selsey, Sussex on 24th October 1949, chassis B252FV is known to have subsequently passed through the hands of G.L.

Treated to an extensive, `bare metal’ restoration by Mr Stevens which was sadly curtailed by ill health, the Bentley has since benefited from attention to its brightwork, seat bases, carburettors, sunroof, gearbox mount, brake servo, door panels, draught excluders, headlining, boot carpet, seatbelts, speedometer, leather spring gaiters, shock absorbers, spring shackles, back axle mounts, door locks, steering column gaiter, pedal rubbers, engine gaskets, ignition system, master cylinder, anti-roll bar and fuel pump etc. Maintained in-house by the vendor’s mechanics, the four-seater rides on Michelin tyres and was fitted with a new clutch during

A matching numbers example, whose body has been treated to new floor pans, inner and outer sills, attention to the rear arches and a bare metal respray in Regency Red, as well as being both rust and sound-proofed. The engine was completely overhauled during which the crankshaft was reground, the cylinder head refurbished and new bearings, oil pump, timing

chain and Hi Torque starter motor installed. The flywheel was refaced, a new clutch fitted and the gearbox and rear drive cage rejuvenated. More power was released by the fitment of a six-branch exhaust manifold and stainless steel system. Attention to the brake system included an overhauling of the calipers, replacement discs and servicing of the handbrake mechanism. The suspension was uprated courtesy of new Poly bushes all round, adjustable dampers and replacement rear coil springs. The car was rewired with fresh harnesses, and a new distributor and leads, and a show specification alternator installed. The interior was partially retrimmed and treated to new carpets and seat belts, but the ‘nicely patinated’ original seats retained.

ESTIMATE £18000 - 22000 *

Introduced in 1959, the MKII has long been Jaguar’s best-loved sports saloon. Its combination of svelte good looks, strong performance and gentlemen’s club interior has successfully charmed every passing generation. Based around a more sophisticated version of its MKI predecessor’s monocoque bodyshell equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a Panhardrod located ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer was powered by a choice of race-bred 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre XK DOHC straight-six engines. Although, slower on paper than their range-topping 3.8 litre siblings, the 3.4 litre cars nonetheless boasted some 210bhp and 216lbft of torque, outputs sufficient to ensure a circa 120mph top speed and spirited acceleration (especially when fitted with the desirable four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox). Finished in Midnight Blue with Pale Blue leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Entering the current ownership in 2011, ‘242 MKR’ has not long emerged from an extensive, ‘ground up’ restoration. Sporting a wood rim steering wheel, Coombs-style rear wheelarches, power assisted steering and painted wire wheels, this handsome MKII is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until August 2019

CHASSIS WP0ZZZ96ZRS815489 Launched during September 1991, Porsche claimed the 968 was `eighty percent new’ in comparison to its 944 predecessor. More evolution than revolution, the newcomer inherited one of the finest frontengined, rear-wheel drive chassis that money could buy with near perfect weight distribution. Powered by a 3-litre DOHC 16v four-cylinder engine (240bhp / 305Nm) allied to either six-speed manual or four-speed Tiptronic transmission, the 968 could accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to

156mph. Available from Spring 1993, the Club Sport version boasted lowered / stiffened suspension, larger 17-inch Cup alloy wheels, reduced sound deadening, a non-airbag steering wheel and rear wash / wipe delete. The result was a lighter, even more driver focused machine that earned Performance Car magazine’s `Performance Car of the Year’ award. Built on the same production line as the Club Sport, the UK-market Sport boasted the same dynamic upgrades but added a tailgate release, electric windows, central locking and occasional rear seats. Of the 1,923 Club Sports made, 306 came to the UK in `Sport’ guise with a further 179 in `Club Sport’ guise.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM DUXFORD AUCTION Enzo Ferrari was famously uncompromising and certainly not prone to praise of man or machine - unless, of course the subject in question was a ‘Prancing Horse’. A rare exception was his oft-quoted description of Jaguar’s E-Type as ‘the most beautiful car in the world’. He was obviously far from alone in this thought, which is perhaps why most owners tend to restrict their customising to bringing the mechanicals in step with modern levels of performance and safety, and leave the lines so skilfully penned by Malcolm Sayer all those years ago to speak for themselves. There have, of course been a few notable exceptions, of which ‘KBP 559D’ is certainly one of the most beguiling. A Series 1 4.2 Coupe, chassis 1E21103 was built to the (very) special order of Hugh John Vaughan Campbell, the 6th Earl of Cawdor, and reputedly left Jaguar’s Browns Lane factory in November 1965 complete with: a balanced and tuned engine, Koni dampers, competition wire wheels, Restall seats and a Webasto sunroof. Its first stop was to Abbey Panels, who were responsible for adding the ‘shark gill’ louvres on the rear of the front wings and distinctive quad headlamp arrangement; the open design of which predated the similar style the factory adopted for its single-headlamp Series 2 model. Once complete, the very special Jaguar was suppled to Rossleigh of Aberdeen for delivery to his Lordship by his local Jaguar agent, P S Nicholson of Forres. Interestingly, the quad light arrangement of this E-Type, though ultra-rare, is not unique and was in fact the second of three such builds. The first was to the order of Sir William Gordon-Cumming, a relation by marriage of Lord Cawdor. According to the Lord’s then wife, the two men were ‘terrible copycats’ and on seeing Sir Williams E-Type, Lord Cawdor pronounced he would

126

have one exactly the same. And indeed he did, but not for long. History relates that his Lordship was a pretty hairbrained driver and crashed a number of Ferraris and Jaguars. This car was no exception and he nearly killed himself in it en route between Scotland and his estate in Wales - indeed, the crash was apparently so severe he was ejected through the sunroof. So, just 18 months after it had first taken to the roads, this now very sadlooking Jaguar was transported back to Scotland and laid to rest in a shed, where it remained until finally rescued by the vendor some 15 years ago. The car had rolled and was in a very bad way, but with a lot of patience and two years of hard work he triumphantly brought it back to life. “The shed it had been in wasn’t terribly good and it had rusted from the floor up, so I replaced what I needed to. The bonnet

was crumpled, so I built the special Abbey Panels parts into a new one. It’s worth noting that Lord Cawdor had been travelling so fast he’d locked up one rear wheel long enough to completely remove the tread. The car’s mechanics were pretty good, however. The engine was a bit seized so I honed the bores, and replaced whatever other items needed renewing and it’s all been fine.” Now the veteran of numerous rallies and very smartly presented in Black with a Black leather interior, this extraordinary matching numbers E-Type is said by the vendor to be ‘a very good driving car with excellent road holding’, and he is making it available at No Reserve . A truly unique opportunity for big cat lovers everywhere.

ESTIMATE £18000 - 22000 *

This splendid-looking TR6 is a 1968 example that’s been in its current ownership for no less than 26 years. During this time the vendor has invested over £30,000 in improving the car and treated it to a full nut and bolt restoration between 1998 and 2005, with every part being either replaced or refurbished by individual professionals or VAT registered garages. ‘YDX 97G’ has also been sympathetically uprated along the way and these days features triple Weber carburettors and sports suspension, and comes with a rolling road report confirming an impressive output of 200bhp at the wheels. The Roadster is finished in Ferrari Rossa Corsa and trimmed in Red-piped Black leather and is considered by the vendor to be ‘excellent’ in all major aspects. He is now selling the Triumph complete with a comprehensive file of invoices, receipts and photographs relating to the work carried out over the years. The TR has travelled a mere 1000 miles since the completion of the restoration. Triumph’s TR Series began with the unveiling of a prototype at the 1952 London Motorshow. It was built around the chassis of the pre-war Flying Nine, the suspension from the Mayflower and powered by the engine from the Vanguard. However, the design was not progressed and a new, improved TR2 was launched the following year, and so began a series of successful twoseater sports cars that ended in 1981 with the last of the TR8s. The evolution was steady but continuous and the TR6 that first saw the light of day in late 1968 was effectively a cleverly updated TR5, for which the redesign

CHASSIS B638CN By 1955, Rolls-Royce felt increasingly less need to visually differentiate its own models from the Bentleybadged ones. The Bentley S1 that replaced the R-Type model was therefore basically a Silver Cloud I behind the distinctive ‘Flying B’ radiator grille. It was the last Bentley powered by the company’s venerable 150bhp 4.9-litre straight-six engine. The newcomer retained a separate chassis and body, facilitating the manufacture of special-bodied versions. Even so,

the vast majority were delivered with the standard steel one. Suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and by live axle and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted drums all-round. Improved performance arrived with the S2 model of 1959, when the straight-six engine was finally pensioned off in favour of a new 6.2-litre aluminium V8 unit. This raised the top speed to some 114mph and greatly enhanced acceleration. Power steering became standard and electrically operated windows an option. The model’s final iteration was the S3. Introduced in 1962, it featured a lower bonnet line, different grille and four headlamps. The

1963 BENTLEY S3 SALOON 128

interior modifications included individual seats for the front occupants and increased legroom for those in the rear. Engine power was increased by seven percent. Some 1,630 S3s were produced between 1962 and 1966. The S3 on offer is a 1963 example finished in the particularly attractive colour combination of Black over Gold and teamed with a Cream leather interior.

129

with the Entry Form to the Auctioneer’s office, or in any event delivered with the Lot to the Premises. The Contract between the Seller and the Auctioneer will be formed when the Auctioneer receives a signed Entry Form for the Lot, whether by hand, post, fax, email or by any other means, and whether or not the Entry Fee for that Lot has been paid, and whether or not the Form has been signed by the Auctioneer. 1.3 All relevant matters pertaining to the Lot such as a financial encumbrance, serious accident damage or other factors affecting value which are known to the Seller must be stated on the Entry Form. If a sale is lost because of the failure of the Seller to disclose to the Auctioneer all information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Lot, the Auctioneer will charge and the Seller must pay the stated rates (both to Seller and Buyer) plus VAT. 1.4 If the Seller wishes to retain the registration number of a Lot, it is the Seller’s responsibility to notify the Auctioneer in writing on the Entry Form. It is the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current registration number is retained and a new number allocated prior to the Lot being sold. If the Seller does not do so, the Auctioneer shall not be responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever and howsoever arising out of the Seller’s loss of the right to the registration number following the sale of the Lot. 2.1 The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion whether or not to accept any Lot for sale and shall be entitled to select the auction place, date, catalogue placement and photographs for the Lot. 2.2 The Seller gives the Auctioneer full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot placed in its hands for sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations as are provided by the Seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Sale), with indemnity against copyright infringement. 2.3 The Seller is wholly responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any judgments or opinions expressed in, the catalogue description of each Lot entered by him, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description. Whether the description has been prepared by the Auctioneer or the Seller, a copy of the typed text will be provided to the Seller within a reasonable time prior to the Auction, and unless the Seller reacts with comments or changes prior to the Auction, the Auctioneer may treat that description as accepted by the Seller. 3.1 The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the Buyer either that he is the true owner of the Lot or that he is duly authorised to sell the Lot by the true owner, and is able to transfer or procure transfer of good and marketable title to the Lot free from a third party claims or encumbrances. 3.2 In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance

130

agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot, the Auctioneer reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith. There will be a charge of £75 plus VAT for this service. 3.3 Each Lot, in the condition as described on the Entry Form, and with all keys, spare or extra items and documents shall be delivered to the Premises at the expense of the Seller. The Seller of a Lot not held by the Auctioneer at the Premises or under its control warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that the Lot will be made available and in a deliverable state at the time stated by the Auctioneer. 3.4 The Seller shall indemnify both the Auctioneer, its Employees and Agents, and the Buyer separately, against all payments, costs, expenses, demands, or any loss or damage whatsoever and wheresoever incurred or suffered by any of them in respect of any breach of these Conditions on the part of the Seller. 4.1 The Seller shall be entitled, prior to the sale to place a Reserve on any Lot, this being the minimum Hammer Price at which the Auctioneer is authorised to sell that Lot and to make its usual charges. A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer. 4.2 The Auctioneer may, at its option, sell the Lot at a Hammer Price below the Reserve but in any such case the Sale Proceeds to which the Seller is entitled shall be the same as if the sale had been at Reserve. 4.3 Where no Reserve has been placed on the Lot the Auctioneer shall in no way be liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below the lowest estimated selling price. In any event, any written or oral estimate of likely selling price given by the Auctioneer is an expression of opinion only and may not be relied upon by the Seller nor give rise to any claim. 4.4 If a Reserve is placed by the Seller in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, such a Reserve shall be calculated and converted into Sterling at the spot rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the last banking day prior to the date of the Sale. The certificate in writing of the Auctioneer as to such rate shall be conclusive.

estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none; (b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none, (c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value; (d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses; 5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller. 6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14. 7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either: (a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively) (b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.

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

8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.

5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the

9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made: (a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller

shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot;

10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds

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

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

9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission. 10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk. 10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer. 10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer. 10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier. 10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.

11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer. CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER 12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary. 12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal. 12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again. 12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides. 12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale. 13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name. 13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so. Where the

131

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.

132

18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions. 18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed. 18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller. 18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot. 18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due. 18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose. 18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future. 19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not. 19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot. GENERAL CONDITIONS 20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.

21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable. 22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers. 23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot. 24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation. The Buyer and the Seller consent to such data being kept and used for appropriate purposes, including informing the Buyer and the Seller of any offers or other matters of interest from time to time. 25. The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of the Auctioneer, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, shall require the prior written consent of the Auctioneer. 26. If any Condition or part of a condition in these Terms shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining Conditions will not thereby be affected. 27. These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English Law. Each of the Auctioneer, the Seller, the Buyer and any bidder hereby submits to non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
