Fiat X1/9 VS

Lot # 126 (Sale Order: 26 of 164)      

The Fiat X1/9 is a two-seater designed by Bertone and manufactured by Fiat from 1972-1982. Bertone subsequently took the lead from 1982-1989 and, in 1982, shortly after the introduction of the 1500 model, complete production was assumed by Bertone with models from this point forward badged as the Bertone X1/9. With a transverse engine and gearbox in a mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive configuration, the X1/9 was noted for its excellent handling and lightweight, removable hardtop. It succeeded a 1969 show concept car called the Autobianchi Runabout (with styling by Bertone under chief designer Marcello Gandini) and, unlike Fiat's marketing nomenclature at the time; the X1/9 retained its prototype code as its marketing name. This outstanding Fiat X1/9 was originally supplied by Clover Leaf Cars in Basingstoke on 1st March 1984 at a cost of £6,772.28, extras included the fitment of mudflaps and a stereo system according to the original invoice from Clover Leaf. Finished in the original colour combination of red/black with black interior, this Fiat has a full history folder confirming the low mileage of 19,504. The vendor has used the Fiat very little since acquiring the car, preferring to keep the car in his heated garage along with other cars in his collection. However, he has started the car regularly and informs us she runs very well. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 24th July 2019 together with a magnificent history folder, original handbooks and spare keys. This Fiat X1/9 is formerly the property of Fergus Powell, the founder member of the X1/9 Owners Club and is surely one of the best examples available anywhere today. Viewing in person is strongly recommended. Click here for more information

Triumph TR3A

Lot # 128 (Sale Order: 28 of 164)      

The Triumph TR3 was built between 1955 and 1957 by Standard-Triumph in the United Kingdom, during which time only 1,286 cars were produced for the home market. According to the TR Register, as of 2002, there remain only 893 registered TR3/3A's on UK roads. Although it was usually supplied as an open two-seater, an occasional rear seat and bolt on steel hard top were available as extras. The four-speed manual transmission could be supplemented by an overdrive unit on the top three ratios, electrically operated and controlled by a switch on the dash. In 1956, the front brakes changed from drum to disc, becoming the first British series production car to be so fitted. Because of these disc brakes, the TR3 and subsequent TR3A's became known for their superior braking ability, making it an autocross favourite. In 1957, the TR3 was replaced by an updated version, the TR3A. Updates included new wide front grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot handle and came with a full tool kit as standard.

1958 Fiat 500 'Jolly'

Lot # 129 (Sale Order: 29 of 164)      

Throughout the 1960's it was not Ferrari or Lamborghini that had the beach front kudos in Cannes or St Tropez but the plucky Fiat Jolly. The Jolly, based upon the reliable mechanicals of the Italian 'people's car', the 500, featured dune buggy-like bodywork by Ghia of Turin, with open sides, a simple surrey top, and wicker seats. Jollys were all the rage on the streets of resort towns, and if you were lucky enough to have one even better sat on the back of your super yacht. Click here for more information

Lot # 130 (Sale Order: 30 of 164)      

Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG was a game-changing super-saloon produced from 1995 through to 2002 and sold under the E-Class model name in both saloon and estate body types.

Output of the E55 AMG was some 354bhp with a torque figure of 391ft/lb which propelled it from 0-62mph in just 5.7 seconds with a limited top speed of 155mph. Click here for more information

Mercedes-Benz CL 600 Bi-Turbo Coupe

Lot # 132 (Sale Order: 32 of 164)      

The CL-Class is the coupe derivative of the S-Class luxury saloon with the V8 and V12 coupes called the 500 SEC and 600 SEC respectively. In 1994, the model names were changed to the S500 Coupe and the S600. Without venturing into the AMG range, the new CL offered the most powerful of all models, the 5.5 litre, V12, bi-turbo CL600. If you want the best, this is it. It introduced the refined active body control; fully active suspension and bi-xenon HID lights. The ABS system is hellishly complex but, using suspension rams, regulators and enough computer technology to power the space shuttle; it keeps this car absolutely flat through the corners.Aside from the tech under the bonnet, the main focus is on customer comfort; climate control, TV, heated and cooled (and massaging) seats, powered door and boot closing, heated steering wheel and plumbed in telephony. In 2003, the CL 600 had two turbochargers added but still achieved, almost effortlessly, ghost-like quietness. Originally acquired new in 2004 by Mr. Martin Pollins, it was looked after by Mercedes-Benz with invoices to show. Later, in 2008, it passed to Ray Stamp with regular visits to Mercedes-Benz specialists for servicing and repairs when required. Mr. Stamp used and enjoyed this luxurious motorcar right up until this year. If you can find one of these cars, the prices vary but with good examples, like this one, often exceeding the estimate show here today. The optional extras requested run into double figures and includes the items listed above as well as double glazing of course. The condition is excellent from top to bottom and all systems and features are fully operational. Supplied with a fresh MoT test certificate and extensive paperwork, this is ready to be driven away from the sale and, given the reliability of these expertly-built machines, to Australia and back.

MG B Roadster

Lot # 133 (Sale Order: 33 of 164)      

The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupe with 2+2 seating was added in 1965. The MGB was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Wind-up windows were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds aided by the relatively light weight of the car.

Triumph TR6

Lot # 135 (Sale Order: 35 of 164)      

To modernise the Triumph TR5 that had evolved from the Michelotti designed TR4, Triumph looked to produce a new modern body. Triumph commissioned Karmann of Germany but the task was difficult as Karmann had to produce a new body style whilst retaining much of the original structure. The restyle included a new nose, wings and a new tail. The TR6 and was produced between 1969 and 1976. The home market TR6 initially produced 150bhp but was later detuned to 125bhp. Due to their greater power output, the early models are sought after amongst the Triumph enthusiasts.Delivered on 23rd October 1973, this very original Triumph TR6 is finished in Pimento Red over a black interior with red carpet which is arguably the most desirable colour combination. Complete with working overdrive, the bodywork is good, the panel gaps on the rear panel and scuttle are all still visible and uniform. The car remains unrestored and, although repainted in the past, retains that originality that is so often lost when stripped down and rebuilt with non-factory parts.The interior is correct to factory specification, the seats are in great order and the car is offered with both half and full tonneau covers. The history file contains the original handbook, old MoT's, tax discs and service invoice history dating back to 1987 when the previous owner purchased the car and maintained the history from then on for over 25 years. It has a current MoT test certificate valid until August 2019, importantly with no advisories. Recent mechanical works include an oil and filter service and the fitment of a new metering unit to the PI system. The period correct deep dish wheels are in very good order, as is the chrome trim surrounds and the recently fitted new Pirelli Cinturatos tyres. One of the most original TR6'S available, a genuine right hand drive UK supplied example with good history. Click here for more information

Mercedes-Benz 280 TE Estate

Lot # 136 (Sale Order: 36 of 164)      

FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF SIR BARRY GIBB OF THE BEE GEES Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door versions in January 1976 and while there were some technical similarities to their predecessors, the new models were larger in wheelbase and exterior dimensions. The styling was also updated, although stylistic links with the W115 were maintained. Initially, all models except 280/280E featured quad unequal-size round headlights and the latter large rectangular units. In 1980/81 the carburetted 280 versions went out of production and the fuel-injected 280E continued to be offered. In September 1982, all models received a mild facelift which included the rectangular headlights, previously fitted only to the 280/280E which were standardized across the board as was power steering. Since February 1982, an optional five-speed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MB-Tex upholstery, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, five-speed manual gearbox, four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, vacuum powered central locking, sun roof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering, seat heating, catalytic converter for the US markets and later European models. Power assisted disc brakes were standard on all W123s.This very good, low mileage, 1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 TE Estate finished in Chamonix White with black half leather interior was supplied with electric windows, central locking, air conditioning and Mercedes mudflaps. Purchased by Sir Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees in 1988, it remained with the Gibb's family for 20 years. The odometer is reading 33,300 miles but the speedo was replaced after a few thousand miles which is documented in the history. In very good order inside and out, recent work carried out include refurbished sills, new headlight lens, re-upholstered drivers' seat, new Alpine speaker system, a Pioneer under seat sub-woofer and a period style radio head unit. This 280 TE has recently been featured in Classic & Sportscar magazine's 'Giant Test' which was arranged by model expert Mark Cosovic of W123 World. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2019, the original service book with the owners manuals and a file containing service bills and old MoT test certificates going back to 1989 when in the Gibb's family ownership.

1965 Sunbeam Rapier ‘Works Style’

Lot # 137 (Sale Order: 37 of 164)      

This ‘Works Style’ built Sunbeam Rapier was manufactured during December 1965 and was not registered until 1967. The first owner was, Betty Haig, who was not only the great niece of Field Marshall The Earl Haig, but was also an accomplished racing, hill-climb and rally driver in her own right. She won an Olympic Medal in her first pre-war rally, in Germany, with an 11/2-litre six-cylinder Singer, and then won outright the Paris-St Raphaël Feminin Rally in her PB MG. After the war she won the Ladies' Cup and her class in the 1948 Alpine Trial in an AC. She drove an experimental Monte Carlo Rally in an Morris Minor with Elsie Wisdom and Barbara Marshall, and won the 11/2-litre class in the very tough 1949 Alpine Trial with a works TC MG. Betty also drove her HRG to a class-win in a Swiss hill-climb, changed to a Healey-Silverstone, raced a Cooper-JAP and a vee-twin Cooper 1000, drove the highest placed foreign car, a Triumph TR2, in the 1952 San Remo Rally, raced her AC Ace at Goodwood and Brands Hatch, a Turner in Italy and took Ladies' Cups at Prescott and Shelsley Walsh with a Lotus Eleven. She was also successful with the TT MG Magnette she raced at Goodwood and Silverstone, gaining a Coupe de Vitesse with an Austin-Healey 100 inn later Paris-St Raphaël Rally, and breaking the Ladies' record at Prescott in a Lotus 23. During the 1951 Le Mans 24 hours, Betty and Yvonne Simon managed to finish 15th in a Ferrari 166 MM Berlinetta. Her road cars included a number of Porsches and later, this Sunbeam Rapier. In more recent years, this Rapier has been prepared, specifically, for regularity rallying, and has an impressive specification. The 1725cc engine was built by Chris Draycott and produced, according to the rolling road printout, 125bhp and 145lbft of torque. Fuel is provided from the twin electric fuel pumps (switchable), from the large capacity alloy fuel tank via the twin 40DCOE Weber carburettors, whilst a specially prepared overdrive gearbox sends drive to the wheels via a Gripper 4.22:1 limited slip differential. The brakes have been uprated with pipework routed through the interior, Aeroquip hoses and a fly-off handbrake. The interior is well equipped with a Moto-Lita steering wheel, a pair of speedometers, one, registering mph and another in km (not fitted), a Brantz International 2 trip meter, a pair of stopwatches, rally seats, Luke full harness belts, plumbed-in and hand held fire extinguishers and the standard rev counter, auxiliary gauges and a fuse and relay board. The coachwork presents well whilst the underside (note the sump guard fitted), is also in good order and is protected by a coating of wax. The car sits upon a set of Minilite alloy wheels with two spare Minilite wheels stored within the boot; all are fitted with excellent Avon tyres. We are informed that the Rapier, starts easily, drives and handles very well, is surprisingly quick and always draws interest wherever she goes. This UK registered Sunbeam Rapier has an MoT test certificate valid until May 2019, with that, its FIVA and MSA papers, its impressive specification and equipment, what rally shall a lucky new owner enter?

Ford Capri 2.8i Special

Lot # 138 (Sale Order: 38 of 164)      

The Ford Capri was the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be, just like the Mustang. The Capri was, in fact, a far more varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to 3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The Capri was released to the press on 24th January 1969 at the Brussels Motor Show and caused a sensation. For the 1982 model year, a new sporty version debuted at the Geneva Motor Show called the 2.8 Injection. Power rose to a claimed 160bhp giving a top speed of 130mph. The Capri 2.8 Injection breathed new life into the range with the four-speed gearbox replaced with a five-speed unit early on and at the same, in 1984, upgrading to the Capri Injection 'Special' using half leather seating and a limited slip differential. Externally, the car could be easily distinguished by seven spoke RS wheels and colour-coded grille and headlamp surrounds. Click here for more information

BMW 840 Ci

Lot # 140 (Sale Order: 40 of 164)

MG ZS

Lot # 141 (Sale Order: 41 of 164)      

The MG ZS 180 is a sports saloon car built by MG Rover between 2001 and 2005 and was the flagship vehicle produced at Rover's Longbridge factory, being developed from the Rover 45 but just as the Rover was a luxury saloon the MG was produced as a sporting saloon.

The braking system was improved with larger disc brakes front and rear as well as ABS and EBS assistance. The ZS 180 was fitted with 2.5 litre V6 24 valve four cam engine producing 175 BHP giving an official top speed of 139 MPH with 0-60 in 7.3 seconds. Visually the 180 has a deep front bumper with a bib spoiler and built in fog lights with lower side sills, a large rear wing was offered as an option but 17” sports alloy wheels with 205 tyres came as standard.

Mercedes-Benz E280 Limousine by Binz

Lot # 142 (Sale Order: 42 of 164)      

The Mercedes-Benz W210 is an executive car which was manufactured from 1995 through 2002. They were sold under the E-Class model names in both saloon and estate body types. On 21st July 1998, design patents were filed on an updated W210 (designed in 1997). As a result, for the 2000 model year, a new multi-function information system was incorporated into the instrument cluster below the speedometer, and the introduction of a multi-function steering wheel. In addition, the five-speed automatic transmission introduced 'Touch Shift', which used the +/- gate positions for semi-manual control of the gearbox. This electronic system replaced the previous gated shift arrangement and simplified gear changes. Exterior changes included a revised front with a steeper rake, similar to the CLK, and restyled bumpers and lower body trim. Click here for more information

Ford Focus RS

Lot # 143 (Sale Order: 43 of 164)      

The Focus is a compact car designed under Alex Trotman's Ford 2000 plan, which aimed to globalize model development and sell one compact vehicle worldwide, the Focus was primarily designed by Ford of Europe's German and British teams. The second generation Focus RS is the Focus that Ford originally claimed it was unlikely to manufacturer, however they did and the latest 'Hot hatch' was born. One of the most controversial aspects of the car was its drivetrain, which remained front, not four-wheel drive. After awarding the car five stars, this is what the team at Auto Express had to say about the new Ford Focus RS when launched: ÒThe engineers have done an amazing job. It's got storming performance, amazing handling and grip, but also real character thanks to that charismatic five-cylinder engine.ÓOriginally registered on 1st September 2010 this immaculate Focus RS is finished in the striking colour of Ultimate Green and has only covered 28,000 miles from new. A good service history accompanies this Ford and she also benefits from having the Dynamica RS seat upgrade, a must for any Focus and a £7,000 option if fitted retrospectively, and Lux Pack One. A full service history accompanies this Focus RS and we are advised by the vendor she will have a service and an MoT test prior to auction. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this Ford Focus RS has had one previous keeper and is in what we can only describe as 'age defying condition'. Interested parties are advised to inspect the car in person to ascertain the quality of this stunning vehicle. These cars are fast being recognised as a future classic.

Mercedes-Benz SL 320 Roadster

Lot # 144 (Sale Order: 44 of 164)      

Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new Mercedes-Benz R129-series SL range was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated, all-round independent suspension (double-wishbone front/five-link rear) was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second if the car ever sensed an impending flip. Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin was a fully automated power hood and featured such advancements as memory seats, electric windows/mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated sports car. Click here for more information

Porsche 356 B (T6) Coupe

Lot # 145 (Sale Order: 45 of 164)      

This stunning Porsche 356 coupe rolled off the production line on 21st February 1962. It was finished in the rare and highly desirable colour combination of Champagne Yellow with green faux leather and corduroy inlays. Champagne Yellow was a new colour offered for the first time in 1962 and set the tone for the 1960s movement, the only interior colours available to contrast this were only green or black. A European specification example it first delivered to Bologna, Italy. In its stunning colour combination it would have certainly rustled the feathers of its local rivals, Ferrari and Lamborghini, before finding its way across the Atlantic to the Porsche friendly state of California, USA, in the 1970s where it was adorned with the blue plate registration '356 6T2'.

Porsche 911S Targa

Lot # 146 (Sale Order: 46 of 164)      

The original Porsche 911, with its famous and durable design, was introduced in the Autumn of 1963 and built until 1989. From its inception, the 911 was modified both by private racing teams and the Porsche factory itself for racing, rallying and other competitions. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful sports/racing car ever, especially when its variations included the powerful 911 derived 935 which won Le Mans, as well as other major sports cars races. In 1967, Porsche introduced the 911T model and subsequently a 911E version, however the 911S was the most desirable and with only 3,174 Porsche 911S's manufactured, good quality surviving examples are rare and highly collectable.This original, low mileage and well preserved classic fuel injected Porsche 911 2.7 S is finished in vibrant red coachwork together with a beautiful black interior and red stitching. The car had been lovingly owned by Captain Bob Stanell in California from new, due to ill health he sold his collection in late 2015. Presented with just 35,521 miles on the odometer and accompanied by a comprehensively stamped and original service booklet, this car was snapped up by our vendor who wanted a dry, rust free low mileage example for his collection, thus OBA 598P found its way to the leafy Surrey suburbs. Our vendor has since lavished circa £15,000 with specialist Eporsch in Bisley, Surrey, predominantly on mechanical work which enabled the car to be returned to European specification and included a top end engine rebuild. All invoices for the work can be found within the cars history file including the most recent service in November 2017, also accompanying this is an MoT test certificate valid until August 2019. This example is a true reflection of its low mileage and indeed a very desirable 911S. The interior is as new, the Targa roof has been restored and the car represents a genuine collectors example competitively priced with fabulous coachwork. Click here for more information

Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupe

Lot # 147 (Sale Order: 47 of 164)      

The Alvis TD21 was a British sporting car made by Alvis cars between 1958 and 1963. It was an updated version of the TC 108G with body construction by Park Ward who at the time were better able to supply them to the quantity, quality and price required. The cars were built slightly taller and a drophead coupe was added to the range. The 2993 cc engine was uprated, mainly by an improved cylinder head and increasing the compression ration from 8.0:1 to 8.5:1. A new four speed gearbox from the Austin-Healey appeared. Overdrive was available on the manual transmission from late 1960 to 1962. Suspension was similar to the TC 21, independent at the front using coil springs with leaf springs at the rear and a front anti roll bar added. Wire spoked wheels became an option. From 1959 the all drum brake set up was changed to discs at the front retaining drums at the rear. A car with manual transmission was tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1960 and had a top speed of 103 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 13.5 seconds. Click here for more information

Fiat 500L

Lot # 148 (Sale Order: 48 of 164)      

The Fiat 500 was produced between 1957 and 1975 with limited production of the Fiat 500 K estate continuing until 1977. Despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular car throughout Europe capturing the hearts and minds of the public. Launched as the Nuova 500, it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car. They only measured three metres long and were originally powered by a tiny 479cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term 'small car' and is considered one of the first city cars. The 'L' or Lussopenultimate model like the one offered here today, was produced between 1968 and 1972 and featured a much modernised interior including a renewed dashboard which brought the car up to date. Greater comfort and style were provided in this new model for the new generation. Click here for more information

Talbot Sunbeam Lotus

Lot # 149 (Sale Order: 49 of 164)      

In the mid-1970s, the British automotive industry was in crisis, marred by bad management, frequent strikes and decreasing competitiveness compared to the increasingly successful Japanese automakers. It took its toll on Chrysler UK, which was the name given to the former Rootes Group after its takeover by the US based Chrysler Corporation. In particular, the Linwood facility was generating losses due to many reasons, including under-utilised capacity. The Talbot Sunbeam-Lotus was one of the most exciting hot hatchbacks to emerge from the 1970s. Chrysler originally commissioned Lotus Engineering to produce an effective entrant for international Group 4 rallying to compete with the dominant Ford Escort RSs and this required that Talbot produced an appropriate road car for homologation reasons. Lotus took a 1.6GLS shell, installed a 2.2-litre version of the Lotus 16-valve four-cylinder engine and a five-speed ZF gearbox, and the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus was born.

Lot # 150 (Sale Order: 50 of 164)

In October 1985, the bumpers, wing and interior were changed, including a new dashboard. In October 1986 the Excel SA with automatic gearbox was introduced. Further facelifts in 1989 saw Citroën derived mirrors, as featured on the Esprit, and 15 inch OZ alloy wheels to a similar pattern as the Esprit's. Toyota engaged Lotus to assist with engineering work on the Supra. During this period, Toyota became a major shareholder in Lotus, later giving up their holding when General Motors bought Lotus.Part of the deal between Lotus and Toyota included the use of many Toyota mechanical components in Lotus' cars. The original Excel (aka the Eclat Excel) used the W58 manual transmission, driveshafts, rear differential, 14x7 inch alloy wheels, and door handles from the Supra Mk. II, which was made from 1982 to 1986. The engine was the familiar all aluminium, DOHC 2.2 L Lotus 912 slant-4 engine used in the Lotus Esprit S3. Click here for more information
