MG B Roadster
Model: B RoadsterYear: 1964Mileage: 96,100VIN: GHN3/32967Registration: APO 677BTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 17000 - 21000
Conceived in the late 1950s and launched in 1962, the MGB would turn out to be one of the most successful sports cars of all time. Attractively styled, cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the 'B' carried on MG's traditional role of providing affordable, sports car motoring for the ordinary enthusiast. The MGB was mechanically similar to the preceding MGA, though with heavier, unitary construction bodyshell. To compensate for the newcomer's increased weight, the existing B-Series engine was stretched from 1622 to 1798cc, while the MGB's aerodynamically efficient lines made the most of the maximum available 95bhp to achieve a top speed which just topped the magic 'ton'. A 'right first time' design that changed little over the years apart from the adoption of a more robust five-main-bearing engine in 1965 (fitted from the start of GT production that autumn) a minor facelift for 1970 and the adoption of plastic bumpers (to comply with US legislation) for 1975, the 'B' enjoyed an 18-year production life and sales totalling in excess of 500,000 cars. Its popularity remaining undiminished today, the classic MGB is one of the easiest sports cars of its era to run and maintain in the 21st Century, being served by a worldwide industry of spare parts and service providers. A desirable chromed bumper model, this particular 'B' roadster has had just three owners from new; the last being a private collector who purchased the car a couple of years ago and the first owner, we are told, bought the car as a wedding anniversary gift for his wife. Subsequently consigned to barn storage, it was fully restored to mint condition by a family friend between 2007 and 2009, with further works undertaken in 2015. Finished in black with red leather trim, noteworthy features include original restored Jaeger instruments, original Bakelite steering wheel and 'bullet' wing mirrors. This MG B Roadster is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in February 2019 and sundry other restoration invoices. 'APO 677B' has covered only some 5,000 miles since restoration and is described as a pleasure to drive. The MG B represents fabulous value in today's market and enjoys excellent club support, specialist services and parts back up; a motor car just awaiting a new owner to enjoy forthcoming summers.]]

Its popularity remaining undiminished today, the classic MGB is one of the easiest sports cars of its era to run and maintain in the 21st Century, being served by a worldwide industry of spare parts and service providers. A desirable chromed bumper model, this particular 'B' roadster has had just three owners from new; the last being a private collector who purchased the car a couple of years ago and the first owner, we are told, bought the car as a wedding anniversary gift for his wife. Subsequently consigned to barn storage, it was fully restored to mint condition by a family friend between 2007 and 2009, with further works undertaken in 2015. Finished in black with red leather trim, noteworthy features include original restored Jaeger instruments, original Bakelite steering wheel and 'bullet' wing mirrors. This MG B Roadster is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in February 2019 and sundry other restoration invoices. 'APO 677B' has covered only some 5,000 miles since restoration and is described as a pleasure to drive. The MG B represents fabulous value in today's market and enjoys excellent club support, specialist services and parts back up; a motor car just awaiting a new owner to enjoy forthcoming summers.]]
BMW Z3 M Coupé

The M Coupé, manufactured from 1998 until 2002, was developed under the leadership of engineer Burkhard Göschel with the intention of adding increased torsional and structural rigidity to the Z3 roadster’s chassis. The development team had a hard time convincing the board of directors to approve the model for production, but it was eventually given the green light as long as it remained cost-effective to manufacture. When the director of design at BMW first saw the coupé version of the Z3, there was a long silence, not least because this was 'mocked-up' by a handful of dedicated designers during evenings and weekends. Not just a convertible with a hardtop, the entire chassis was redesigned, the roof lengthened, more power added (obviously) and finer, under the skin details, like cooling fins on the differential. The engine is the same 3.2 litre unit from an M3, offering a vast amount of horsepower per unit weight. With over 6,000 miles of testing at the Nürburgring, you can be sure the Z3 M Coupé is well tested and up to the task of shifting to 155mph and back down again equally as quickly, all within the confines of BMW's legendary build quality. This fabulously presented Z3M Coupe is presented in Black with contrasting black with red insert leather trim. Originally delivered new in 2000 this example was cared for by Performance Motors Limited in Singapore servicing twice in 2002 at 16,807 kms and in 2004 at 32,998 kms shortly before the owner decided to bring the car to the UK in late 2004. Upon arrival the car was sent to a BMW main dealer in Worcestershire to replace the instruments panel and thus providing the car with UK specification instruments. This example was then serviced by an independent Ferrari/Maserati specialist in March 2005 with 147 miles on the odometer, an approximate 22,652 miles. The new owner in 2005 was clearly an enthusiast servicing the car with BM-TEC and the maintenance record from then until now is commendable with a further nine service stamps added to the first three, with BMW specialists and main dealers included, most recent service in June of 2018 by Renaissance Cars of Ripley.Offered with an MoT valid until October 2018, Original BMW book pack including stamped service booklet, three keys and recently serviced this example has clearly been in the right hands. A fabulous driving experience combined with increasing values make the BMW Z3 M Coupé very desirable and we believe this is no exception.]]

Lamborghini DLA 35 Tractor

Built well before the foundation of Automobili Lamborghini SpA in 1963, this DLA 35 tractor represents the heritage of Ferruccio Lamborghini's automotive empire. After serving as a mechanic in the Regia Aeronautica during World War II, Lamborghini set up a small car and motorcycle repair shop near Modena before branching out into the manufacture of tractors using surplus military hardware. By the mid 1950s Lamborghini Trattori SpA had become one of the largest agricultural equipment manufacturers in Italy, gratifying state of affairs that no doubt prompted Ferruccio Lamborghini's declaration, 'A tractor a day keeps the misery away!' This is one of an estimated 117 DLA 35 tractors built, chassis number '3030' is powered by Lamborghini's own three-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2,200 cc and a relatively potent power output of 36 bhp. The tractor has come from a large agricultural estate in Padua in northern Italy where in recent years it has been displayed in the previous owners large private collection. Finished in the correct orange and blue livery, this delightful tractor would make a distinctive and welcome addition to any significant collection of classic agricultural machinery, or a unique addition to any Lamborghini collection. It has the potential to draw crowds, especially when exhibited alongside the most beautiful supercars sharing the marque's famous 'raging bull' emblem, such as the legendary Miura and Countach. This vehicle comes with a NOVA number and will need to be registered. ]]

Audi developed a sports version of the Coupé in 1990, called the Audi S2. This replaced the famous Audi Quattro and featured the well-proven 2.2-litre in-line five-cylinder 20-valve turbo petrol engine, which was derived from the engine used in the Audi Quattro. The S2 came as standard with quattro-permanent four-wheel drive system and was capable of 150 mph. The S2 was initially available with a 2.2-litre turbocharged engine which produced 217 bhp. In 1992, the engine received minor upgrades, including distributor-less ignition, which increased power output to 227 bhp. Although not a dramatic power increase, the engine now produced 350Nm of torque (up from 309Nm) and featured an over boost function that allowed up to 380Nm in short bursts. The S2 will accelerate from 62.1 mph in 5.7seconds, continuing to a top speed of 152 mph. On offer here is a very solid 1995 manual car. The vendor spent a long time looking for the right one, with so many corroded or abused cars out there. Bought because “he just always wanted one” he has now scratched the S2 itch and has decided to move the car on. He always buys his cars based on condition rather than mileage and it’s true with this one also. Whilst not perfect, it is very good structurally and mechanically, having just had a service on done which included all oils and the cambelt. The interior shows some signs of wear, but this is hardly surprising for a car of this age. The vendor reports that the car runs and drives perfectly and that it accelerates quickly embarrassing many much more modern cars. These cars are becoming rarer by the day and are surely a future classic. Supplied with its original service log book with many service stamps, V5C registration document and MoT test certificate that expires in June 2019.]]

Ford Capri by Tickford (2.8 litre)
Year: 1984Mileage: 41,025VIN: WFOCXXGAECER10764Registration: B99 NLSTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 28000 - 34000
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 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. Tickford were coachbuilders owned by Aston Martin and in 1981, Aston Martin created an engineering service subsidiary choosing the name 'Aston Martin Tickford', rekindling the specialist service available to all vehicle makers, which had been the Tickford philosophy for the first half of the century. The Tickford Capri was a successful project with 86 vehicles being reworked by the coachbuilder; this example is number 56 from the production run. Mechanically, there are a number of changes most notably the fitting of a front mounted turbocharger, rear disc brakes were standard on the Tickford and suspension modifications like Bilstein dampers fitted together with a limited slip differential. Cosmetically the Capri was treated to a subtle bodykit and revised front grille. The extensive modifications continued with the interior. Leather surfaces were added, although the seats remained cloth (leather seats were an option). Wood was added to the dashboard and centre consol. The result of the extensive modifications by Tickford is a Capri that is quick, handles well and has the necessary braking power for such a machine. The process of converting a Capri started with transporting new car bodies from Germany and stripping them down at Tickford’s facility in England. The process was cumbersome and inefficient, which no doubt contributed to doubling the cost of the original donor car. After literally being taken apart and re-assembled (by hand), the price virtually trebled to £14,747.77 This example has been featured in the Tickford Owners Club magazine and is clearly a well cared for example. The low mileage of 41,025 is supported by a comprehensive history folder. Recently the clutch thrust bearing was replaced and as the gearbox was removed the vendor had new bearings fitted to the gearbox at the same time. Producing some 205 bhp we are advised she drives with no known faults. During our inspection, the 2792cc engine started immediately when requested and sounded delightful. Showing no signs of corrosion the bodywork is in very good order, the Diamond white paintwork virtually unblemished. The grey velour trim is in lovely condition and is best described as commensurate with age and mileage. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until November 2018 together with the original service books, bill of sale and pepperpot alloy wheels. The classic Ford market has been very buoyant of late with Capri’s being particularly sought after. With an estimated 40 Tickford Capri’s surviving these are probably the rarest and most coveted.]]

In 1961, Colin Chapman was commissioned by Harry Mundy to design a twin cam version of the Ford Kent engine and its first appearance was at the Nürburgring in a Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark. Soon after, the engine appeared in the Lotus Elan. During the engine's development, Walter Hayes at Ford, asked Colin Chapman to fit the twin cam into 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 racing homologation. Chapman accepted the contract and the type 28, or Lotus Cortina as it became known, was born. Whilst Ford supplied the two door body shells and took care of the marketing, Lotus engineered the mechanical and cosmetic changes which included the 1558cc engine along with the Elan's close-ratio gearbox, front quarter bumpers and Lotus badges. They also made changes to the interior with a new centre console to accommodate the revised gear lever position, different seats and a later styled dashboard that incorporated a tachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel gauges. A wood rimmed steering wheel was the finishing touch. Originally registered on 1st May 1966 this Lotus Cortina appears to have been well looked after. The previous registered keeper had the car under his stewardship for 23 years and in October 2007, the car featured in Classic Car Mart magazine. These highly collectable Fords are in high demand, particularly examples such as this that are on the Ford register. The engine started immediately during our inspection and had good oil pressure. We are advised by the vendor she drives as she should. Supplied with a V5C registration document and history folder this ‘Fast Ford’ will evoke great memories for men of a certain age.]]

Year: 1965Mileage: 5,678VIN: KA254799647Registration: LBL 924DTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 37000 - 42000
To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine, he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time, and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these, the 1,071cc Mini Cooper 'S' of 1963, took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 'S' and 1275 'S' of 1964.This original right hand drive UK supplied Morris Mini Mk. I Cooper S was built on 11th November 1965 and first dispatched on 26th January 1966 to Stewart & Arden Limited in Acton, London. Originally specified in Tartan Red with a black roof and red, gold and grey trim this is a single fuel tank example due to being pre 1966 when twin tanks were a standard fit. This example was also fitted with a heater as an extra. In 1996, Mr De Silva purchased this car and from then until 2017 he undertook a full restoration on LBL 924D, with much of the work carried out by The East Anglian Mini Centre Ltd in Ipswich. The restoration was of a very good standard and the car now presents unsurprisingly as new. Accompanying the car is a history file detailing the restoration, the original handbooks, Heritage certificate and an MoT test certificate valid until May 2019. The number plate on this example also holds some value, with works cars displaying LBL including the Monte Carlo Rally winner LBL 6D which the team retained, alongside LBL 66D and LBL 666D, for their works rally cars. It is thought a mere 345 Morris Mini Cooper S cars remain on UK roads today and with examples in this condition commanding well over £50,000, frankly, this looks like incredible value especially given its rarity and wow factor.]]

The Ford Thunderbird (‘T-Bird’) began life in February 1953 in direct response to Chevrolet's new sports car, the Corvette, which was publicly unveiled in prototype form just a month before. Under rapid development, the Thunderbird went from drawing board to prototype in about a year, being unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show on 20th February 1954. It was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through to 2005. The second to fourth generation Thunderbird convertibles were similar in design to the Lincoln convertible of the time and borrowed from earlier Ford hardtop/convertible designs. While these Thunderbird models had a true convertible soft top, the top was lowered to stow in the boot area, considerably reducing available boot space when the top was down. The overall appearance was a sleek look with no trace of a convertible top at all. This 1957 Thunderbird can only be described as beautiful; a series three example which, importantly, is the last of the first model released and has the desirable porthole hardtop along with the contrasting soft top. Imported into the UK in November 2012, the car obviously saw little or no rain in its former life and has been used sparingly since its UK registration. The 5113cc, V8 engine performs well and sounds exquisite and 699 YUN is finished in gleaming white with contrasting red leather interior. Oceans of chromework and overall excellent condition make this a stunning looking T-Bird and the car is supplied to auction with a V5C registration document. Thunderbirds as good as this are hard to find, there are very few driving experiences that can compete.]]

In 1984 Mercedes-Benz introduced the 185hp 190E 2.3-16, colloquially referred to with the name of the company that honed its four cylinder powerplant, Cosworth. The aim was to compete with BMW’s M3 in the Deutche Tourenwagen Masters. To help this the 16 valve cars were different from the other 190 models. The body kit reduced the drag coefficient to 0.32 and the steering ratio was quicker, though in production form the car is best known for the driver who won a publicity race at the new Nurburgring Grand Prix circuit, a young Ayrton Senna. This attractive Blue-Black Mercedes-Benz 190 was registered in February 1998. The current vendor has owned this German powerplant for the last 18 years. The vehicle is presented with bills and receipts for servicing, and recent paperwork for new tyres and a major service. Interested parties should note that in December of 1999 this 190 was recorded as a Category C insurance loss. The vendor tells us that he has driven the car about 40,000 miles during his ownership and at one time this was his daily drive.]]

The six-cylinder styled DBS had been around for a couple of years awaiting a V8 engine that had been especially designed for it. In early 1970, the DBS V8 was finally ready to become one of the fastest cars available at the time. The 5.3 litre engine was able to develop 320 bhp which gave it the ability to reach 160 mph. From April 1972, the DBS V8 received a restyle and a new name. The 'DB' was dropped as David Brown had sold the company and the car became known simply as the 'Aston Martin V8'.With the demise of the DB6 Mk. II Volante in 1970, Aston Martin were not able to offer a convertible motorcar until 1977 with the introduction of the V8 Volante. This presented a niche in the market; there are always wealthy customers with a desire for something unique and unusual. Paul Banham and his company, Banham Conversions (Banmoco) became well known for his cabriolet conversions on Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Daimler and Jaguar cars. The company was perhaps most noted for their stylish conversion on the Jaguar XJ-S. Sadly the company went out of business in 2004. This Aston Martin V8 Convertible was purchased by the vendor in September 2002 with 67,286 miles on the odometer. The car had some service history with various invoices and had several owners, with the previous owner having bought the car just a year earlier. The car had apparently been in storage for six years prior to his purchase. The car was originally built in March 1973 as a coupé in Cornish Gold and was converted by Paul Banham in 1980 and repainted in the current colour Storm Red. In 2005, it underwent a full chassis and mechanical restoration with Aston Martin specialist Trinity Engineering, which was completed in May 2006. This included engine overhaul, new automatic transmission, complete suspension rebuild with new bushes, brake overhaul, electrical overhaul and complete chassis overhaul with many new sections including sills. The interior was also re-connolised. In short, everything was done to bring the car to mechanical and structural excellence, all at a cost of over £35,000. Over the next few years, further work was carried out by Trinity Engineering including, in 2007, a new alternator, speedo drive, viscous fan, stainless exhaust silencers, driving lamps and interior cubby box fitted. In 2008, the fuel pumps were rebuilt. The following year, all the interior vinyl trim was replaced with black leather and new carpets fitted. In 2011, the roof frame was overhauled and repaired; it also had structural repairs to a post and windscreen pillars and a new windscreen and seal fitted. The car was little used from 2012 onwards and from 2015 it was kept in a dry garage. In March 2018, the car had a complete major overhaul with Trinity again to bring the car back to mechanical excellence; this included work on the engine, transmission, electrical system, suspension, brakes, chassis repairs, wheels refurbished and new turbo speed tyres fitted; all at a cost of over £27,000. The car’s bodywork has always been excellent and this Aston Martin has been maintained as necessary by Trinity Engineering and a local classic car bodyshop near to the home of the vendor. This V8 Convertible is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2019.]]
The six-cylinder styled DBS had been around for a couple of years awaiting a V8 engine that had been especially designed for it. In early 1970, the DBS V8 was finally rea...moredy to become one of the fastest cars available at the time. The 5.3 litre engine was able to develop 320 bhp which gave it the ability to reach 160 mph. From April 1972, the DBS V8 received a restyle and a new name. The 'DB' was dropped as David Brown had sold the company and the car became known simply as the 'Aston Martin V8'.With the demise of the DB6 Mk. II Volante in 1970, Aston Martin were not able to offer a convertible motorcar until 1977 with the introduction of the V8 Volante. This presented a niche in the market; there are always wealthy customers with a desire for something unique and unusual. Paul Banham and his company, Banham Conversions (Banmoco) became well known for his cabriolet conversions on Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Daimler and Jaguar cars. The company was perhaps most noted for their stylish conversion on the Jaguar XJ-S. Sadly the company went out of business in 2004.

Chevrolet Corvette C1

The legendary North American motor-car designer, Harley J. Earl, convinced GM that they needed to build a two-seat sports car after seeing the offerings from Jaguar, MG and Alfa Romeo landing in the USA from Europe; many being repatriated by GIs returning from the Second World War. In 1951, Earl and his Special Projects crew began working on a new car, which was code named 'Opel'. The result was the 1953 Corvette, unveiled to the public at that year's Motorama car show. Taking its name from a small, maneuverable fighting frigate called a Corvette, the first Corvettes were virtually hand built in Flint, Michigan in Chevrolet's Customer Delivery Centre. The outer body was made from, what was then, a revolutionary new composite material called fibreglass; selected in part because of limited steel quotas left over from the Korean War. Underneath that radical new body were standard Chevrolet components, including the 'Blue Flame' inline six-cylinder truck engine, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission and drum brakes. We are delighted to offer this stunning 1954 Corvette finished in the classic combination of Polo White with Al Knoch Sportsman red interior. This Corvette, model designation 2934, is fitted with the correct specification of the ‘Blue Flame’ engine with three single-barrel Carter side-draft carburettors attached to an effortless ‘Powerglide’ automatic transmission. The chassis/VIN number E54S004574 may be broken down to identify the following; the E denoting that this is an early 6-cylinder engined Corvette, 54 denoting 1954 as the year of manufacture, the S denoting the final assembly plant at St. Louis and the final numbers, 003647, denoting the production number. The coachwork finish, chrome and interior are all described by the owner as in excellent quality and the car comes complete with original spare wheel and jack with side screens. The interior is in a condition commensurate with the rest of this stunning C1 and we are informed all the gauges work correctly. A set of whitewall tyres have recently been fitted. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a current MoT test certificate, this Corvette is a superb example and one that should be viewed to ascertain the quality.]]

Morris Mini Cooper 'S' Mk. II

Designed by Alex Issigonis in 1959, a new concept in car design was born. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini', soon became popular across a broad spectrum of the population. The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; and once he had persuaded BMC the two worked together culminating in the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from their, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was then developed in tandem and released in 1963 and Cooper S variants are still made to this day under the BMW flag. Approximately 2,500 Mk. II Cooper S models were built making it one of the rarest versions of this very collectible motor car.This Mk.II Cooper S 1275cc example was a feature car in 2004's Mini Magazine whilst in the tenure of the owner who lovingly restored this car between 2000 and 2004. Originally registered in October 1968 the car is presented in Sandy Beige over Snowberry White with a Webasto sunroof; one of only 11 Mk.II's on the Cooper register in this colour combination. We are informed that all modifications were made within the first 18 months and are led to believe by coachbuilders Radford, this included a Radford dashboard which sadly had to be replaced. Unfortunately no invoices exist to confirm the Radford link but a buff log book can be found within the history file detailing the car was originally registered as a Radford De Ville from new. We are also informed the hydrolastic suspension has been replaced by Hi-Lo adjustable shock absorbers and an old sales listing suggests that the engine was 'breathed on' by Downton. The engine itself has been bored and honed to 1330cc with twin SU carburettors and a modified cylinder head to name just a few enhancements; all of which helped to achieve a rolling road tune by Peter Baldwin, Wiltshire in 2012 of 98bhp.Full details of the engine and the car itself can be found in the history file which includes information from previous owners and also contains the article from Mini Magazine. This is a rare car with a cherished number plate and is well known to the Mini Register and Owners Clubs alike. Viewing is strongly recommended.]]

Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet by Karmann
Year: 1958Mileage: 90,200VIN: 2096790Registration: 135 XVBTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 18000 - 23000
One of the 20th century's most iconic automobiles, the Volkswagen 'Beetle' transcended its origins as the German 'People's Car,' going on to become an all time best seller and cult classic. Originally conceived by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the Volkswagen inspired great loyalty and enthusiasm based on its practicality, reliability, adaptability and affordability. The Beetle was simple to build with an air cooled engine eliminating the whole water cooling system of pumps, pipes, hoses and radiators as well as reducing the risk of freezing in cold northern winters. It was in 1948 that Wilhelm Karmann first bought a VW Beetle sedan and converted it into a four-seater convertible. The Beetle Cabriolet began production in 1949 by Karmann in Osnabrück, after being successfully presented at VW in Wolfsburg. The Cabriolet was more than a Beetle with a folding top. To compensate for the strength lost in removing the roof; sills were reinforced with welded U-channel rails, a transverse beam was fitted below the front edge of the rear seat cushion, and the side cowl panels below the instrument panel were double wall. In addition, the lower corners of the door apertures had welded in curved gussets. The doors had secondary alignment wedges at the B-pillar, all in all producing a rigid chassis for the little convertible. This 1958 original right hand drive example is in lovely condition and presented in gleaming white with a contrasting burgundy hood. This Beetle has undergone a full restoration at the hands of the current vendor who purchased the car in 2011. The bare metal restoration included new sills, floor pans and heater channels, together with new wiring throughout. The vendor's dream was to enjoy this car on lazy summer days driving to the coast with the family. He confirms that the car ‘drives brilliantly’ and is rust free having been wax oiled at the time of restoration.This Beetle Cabriolet boasts the uprated 1641cc engine which enables the driver to comfortably keep up with modern day traffic, compared to the 1200cc original engine. Accompanying the car is an excellent history file including photos of the restoration process. Early examples of the right hand drive Karmann Beetle convertible are rare and in its current condition, this is an extremely desirable example which is aching to be loved and enjoyed for many years to come.]]

First shown as a prototype on a modified Europa chassis at the 1972 Turin show, the Esprit was launched at the 1975 Paris Motor Show. It went into production in June 1976, replacing the Europa in the model line up. Lotus focused on the engineering, but the styling was given to Giorgio Giugiaro and his then new Italdesign studio. Giugiaro suggested the name Esprit, which remained on the production car. Power was supplied by an all new 160 horsepower all alloy Lotus, 2.0 litre, twin-cam, four-cylinder, mid-mounted engine.The S1 is easily distinguished from the second series car by its shovel style front air dam, lack of rear quarter ducting, and Wolfrace alloy wheels. Inside, the unique green faced Veglia gauges also set it apart from its young brother. The Series I Esprit gained fame through its appearance in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.Presented in white with contrasting black leather, an iconic combination for the S1, this is one of less than 270 cars produced globally and one of just 50 registered in the UK. A right hand drive matching numbers Esprit that was originally used by Station Garage Taplow as a demonstrator model. Its second owner, Mr Caesari, purchased it with only 2,500 miles on the odometer, due to the deterioration of the factory cellulose finish, it was returned to Lotus for a full repaint under warranty. Mr Caesari used the car extensively and regularly serviced the car. The body, chassis, gearbox, steering, and suspension remain all original, and the car has no known accident damage. The car was sold to Mr Simon House in 2004, passing through three more owners including a Lotus specialist, until it was most recently purchased by media mogul and car collector Chris Evans. MoT certificates dating back 30 years, original bill of sale, along with the original owner’s manuals remain with the car. The history file is very impressive, with bills for service work and maintenance dating back to 1981. Recently the car has been treated to a full ‘C’ cambelt service including carburettor tune, consumables and road test by the renowned Esprit Engineering (Lotus Heritage service and repair centre). This is coupled to an MoT test certificate until March 2019 with no advisories This car is excellent and has been cherished inside and out. With Esprit's slowly climbing in value, just try and find an iconic white matching numbers Series I for sale under £70,000! This is the perfect car for any James Bond enthusiast, with bags of character and a fabulous investment opportunity.]]

Karmann manufactured the early 6-Series BMW's from launch in 1976 before BMW took production in house. The most significant technological upgrade on the E24 range took place in 1982 where after all models were constructed upon the more advanced E28 chassis right through until production ceased in 1989. This 1989 635CSi has the pure elegant lines associated with the earlier cars which accentuate the 'shark-nose' design in the absence of the front skirts and the other exterior evolutions which came with the later generations. At the same time, this model enjoys all of the benefits associated with construction on what was then the brand new E28 platform. This excellent, original 1987 BMW 635CSi is finished in the BMW classic colour scheme of Alpine White with Cardinal Red leather interior and is one of the last of the chrome bumper models. This lovely BMW 635CSi is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2019, a good history file and comes complete with all its tools and handbooks. With the iconic predecessor 'E9' shaped examples now being highly coveted within collections around the world, the successor (E24) cars are coming into good favour and prices for well cared for examples are beginning to show some promise of following a similar trajectory to the earlier cars. A handsome, safe and engaging modern classic which would provide stylish and reliable everyday use or equally be at home in a collection for occasional use and classic car shows.]]

There are few cars as iconic as the Volkswagen Beetle. It is a car that occupies a significant position in motoring history. The Beetle holds a record that any car company would be proud of, it is the longest running and most manufactured car of a single design platform anywhere in the world. Quite an automotive feat for this air cooled, rear engine and rear wheel driven car. This attractive one owner Beetle is presented in Marathon Blue with a grey cloth interior. The vendor has expressed to us the excitement of buying his first brand new car. He would have been surprised in 1975 to know that the car, his pride and joy, would still be in his possession 43 years later! Accompanying the car is a substantial history file containing receipts for all expenditure on this Beetle, it also contains the two original instruction manuals and a V5C registration certificate. The vendor informs us that the odometer stopped working in 1988 at 42,531 miles, as evidenced on the MoT test certificates. A new odometer was fitted by Brooks Restoration and Coachworks during a back to metal respray in 1991 and during the three year gap the vendor estimates 10,000 miles of use. As a practical classic the new owner could use this Beetle on a regular basis or for showing at club meetings.]]

Introduced in early 1971, this impressive two-seater sports car replaced the 280 SL; the body and chassis of the 3rd generation SL considerably heavier and longer than its predecessor but still showing a slight resemblance. The standard transmission provided a top speed of 130mph and a very respectable 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds. As with the previous generation SLs, the vehicle came as an open roadster with removable hardtop roof. The R107 body shape went on to become one of the longest running styles from Mercedes-Benz, remaining in production until 1989 with some 13 variants during the production run. This very attractive 380 SL has only had three owners and presents extremely well in the classic colour combination of gold with a brown a checked interior. This low mileage example has a large file of bills, receipts and previous MoT’s, accompanied by a service book showing 16 service stamps. Clearly a good example of these very popular vehicles, this beautiful roadster is offered with a nice history, a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until February 2019.]]

It was also a return to elegance rather than the utilitarian looks of the earlier models. April 1955 saw the introduction of the Berlina (saloon) and later in the summer of that year, the beautiful and almost ageless Spider saw the light of day. All of the Giulietta models (750 series 1954 - 1959) were driven by the all alloy, twin overhead camshaft engine with gearing via a four-speed, all synchromesh gearbox. Importantly; the Giulietta is known for its reliability and durability with parts and services being readily available from many specialists throughout the UK and Europe.We are delighted to offer this Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider which, according to the Alfa Romeo Historic Archive in Arese, Milan, was manufactured on 19th November 1957 with the original body colour of white, and was sold on 21st March 1958 in Melegnano, Milan. The engine bay is finished in black and gives away the original colour in places. Mechanically, the original 1290cc engine has been replaced with a later 1290cc Berlina block (a common change in period) mated to the standard four-speed gearbox. An early, rare and sought after cylinder head is fitted and fuelled via twin DCO3 sand cast Weber carburettors. As the historic racing fraternity knows, these carburettors are in very high demand if a set can be found. The engine is also of interest in that it has an early cylinder head with the fuel pump located and driven off the exhaust camshaft. The chrome work does require some renovation and the wheels look original and untouched. The interior is in good condition and the hood, on removing it from its stowage, operates correctly and is in good order. A large history file accompanies this Giulietta and includes early Giulietta Register club magazines, many magazine articles and cuttings with road test reports from Autocar, Motor and Road and Track and an original Alfa Romeo spare parts catalogue. A large quantity of invoices and notes from its early days in the UK also give a fascinating insight into the car, including records from the well known Alfa Romeo racing driver of the period, John Dooley of Brookside Garage. The Giulietta's V5 records the car as having first been registered in October 1996, and in fact the car has been in long-term ownership since then. However a sales invoice from 6th December 1974 suggests the car has been in the UK since 1974; as does a letter from Alfa Romeo (Great Britain) Ltd. dated 21st June 1976, stating that the car is to Spider Veloce configuration. The present owner has had the fuel pump replaced with an electric one, new pistons and there is a workshop manual included with documents. Seatbelts have been fitted making it safer to use on the roads but they are attached via a removable clip, so they can be removed if one prefers in keeping with its originality. Also, to note, the car has more recent Giulietta register information and as the present owner is a member, it is listed. There are a brand new set of tyres on the front and some spares are included with the car including a head gasket. This is one of the prettiest of all Alfa Romeos and Giulietta Spiders and as such very sought after and hard to find in right hand drive format. ]]

Jaguar D –Type by Realm
Year: 1966Mileage: 1,205VIN: 1E50512Registration: German Historic registrationTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 50000 - 60000
Built in 2007 using a Realm Engineering kit, this fine D-Type Replica was professionally constructed by the owner of a classic restoration shop in Germany over a period of three years. It has a rebuilt 3.4 litre XK block with a big valve cylinder head, triple Webber carburettors, D-Type cams, forged pistons, 9:1 compression ratio and a lightened and balanced crankshaft and flywheel. This is driven through a four speed gearbox and Jaguar XJ independent rear suspension, the front suspension being wishbones. The glass fibre body is lightweight and so the performance is quite lively and the handling good due to an excellent set up. Generally the car drives really well with plenty of room in the cabin and would easily suit a taller driver. This is a well built car in very presentable condition that has only covered 1,205 miles since completion. Currently German road registered with ‘H’ historic registration documents, the car bears the identity of a 1966 right hand drive E-Type Series I 2+2 and has Jaguar D-Type listed in the registration papers. The car can be supplied with UK registration documents if required, and is also supplied with a history file and photos of the build. A nostalgic drive to say the least with plenty of performance to match. ]]

Jensen 541 Deluxe
Year: 1958VIN: 541/2093848Registration: 117 UYNTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 38000 - 44000
At the start of the 1950’s, Jensen had a sound commercial vehicle business providing bread and butter income and an exclusive car business making expensive Interceptor touring cars. The bodywork was mostly aluminium but as an experiment, Jensen had started making the large boot lids in a revolutionary material formed from hair-thin glass embedded in a resinous gel; glass fibre. The body was designed by Eric Neale in conjunction with Richard Jensen. First, he created the distinctive ‘mouth’ shape and the rest of the body flowed back from that point. A lattice of wooden body formers provided a reference over which skilled craftsmen beat a skin of aluminium. The finished car was exhibited at the 1953 Motor Show but there was one trick left up Jensen’s sleeve; production cars were to be constructed of glass fibre. The first few production cars are just known as the 541. As production increased, the options available increased, and a package incorporating the best extras was applied to the car marketed as the ‘541 Deluxe’. This Jensen was first registered on 6th November 1958 to Triplex Ltd in Wolverhampton. Subject to a restoration project a few years ago, this 541 presents in good order and we are advised she drives very well, even the overdrive unit on the gearbox operates correctly. This deluxe model is one of only 53 manufactured by Jensen and was one of their first cars to receive disc brakes all round. Finished in Imperial Crimson with beige leather trim, this Jensen is supplied with a V5C registration document together with a history folder with invoices dating back to 1992 and a copy of the original build sheets. These iconic stylish Jensen’s represent excellent value in the world of classic cars.]]

Jaguar E-Type Series III 2 + 2 Coupé
Year: 1972Mileage: 46,535VIN: 1S71180BWRegistration: OEU 640JTransmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate - Range: 35000 - 40000
The Jaguar E-Type was ten years old and needed a new lease of life. History repeated itself and it was a huge success when Jaguar debuted its robust V12 engine in a sports car instead of the saloon for which it was designed. Despite its sports car heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed the twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that "all we expected to try was a new engine, but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine, but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car". This original, matching numbers, left hand drive 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III Coupé, fitted with the automatic gearbox option and air conditioning was supplied new to the USA. Imported to the UK from Ohio within the last couple of years, it has been fully recommissioned. This included a full service, a full brake overhaul including new discs and hoses, a new steering rack, the rear axle removed and new suspension bushes, a complete set of cooling hoses was fitted using wrapped silicone. This E-Type V12 Coupé has the original British Racing Green paintwork and black leather interior and is supplied with a V5C registration document and a MoT test certificate which expires in December 2018. We are informed by the vendor that it drives extremely well. These models have become sought after as a practical classic in which you can even take your children for a drive being the 2+2 Coupé.]]

Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda
Year: 1966Mileage: 22,298VIN: 10015587Registration: OGU 610DTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 58000 - 64000
The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971 with their distinctive 'pagoda' hardtop roof giving them their contemporary nick-name. All models feature an inline six-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection using a mechanical pump system adapted from the diesel engine. All are rear-wheel drive and are equipped with independent rear suspension, a feature that greatly improved road handling. It made its debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where Technical Director Fritz Nallinger introduced it as follows, "It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance which, despite its sports characteristics, provides a high degree of travelling comfort." Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as most racing drivers, demonstrated the capabilities of the 230 SL on a tight short race track near Montreux in 1963 where he put up a best lap time of 47.5 seconds and, incidentally, out-performed Mike Parkes in his Ferrari 250GT. We are delighted to present this fine 1966 example of the marque. Originally supplied to the USA, this 230 SL was imported into the UK in 2016 and has recorded a warranted 22,298 miles. Presented in Signal Red with a contrasting tan leather interior, this SL looks very smart with excellent panel gaps and benefits from a cosmetic and mechanical restoration in the USA during 2015. It is understood that a lady in Dallas was the first owner who then sold the car to a private collector about three years ago before it was acquired and imported into the UK by the current owner. This Mercedes-Benz comes with air conditioning and the all important Pagoda hardtop. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a current MoT test certificate this 230 SL is in splendid order throughout.]]

Ford Escort Mexico Mk.I
Year: 1972Mileage: 22,983VIN: BFATMC70033Registration: RWC 483KTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 38000 - 45000
Ford’s frontline rally-car for more than a decade, the Escort proved capable of winning at World Championship level from 1968 to 1981. The Lotus twin-cam engine was the favoured power unit until 1971 when the 16-valve Cosworth BDA took over, while the factory also developed derivatives using the overhead camshaft Pinto and pushrod Kent engine. The latter was used only in the Escort 1850GT, which was developed specifically for the Daily Mirror World Cup Rally of 1970, the Kent engine being considered more reliable than the alternatives. The World Cup Rally finished in Mexico City, thus giving its name to the Escort ‘Mexico’ road car, and was the only event in which the 1850GT participated. It turned out to be a most rewarding venture for Ford as the works Escorts dominated, finishing 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th. This Escort was built in May 1972 and first registered ‘RWC 483K’ as a Mexico by the Ford Motor Company, Warley, although the bodyshell is a Type 49 Twin-Cam to export specification (left hand drive, battery under bonnet, opening quarter lights). Painted Sunset Red, it was first used in Sweden as a ‘PR’ car and is pictured in advertising literature of the time. Returned to Ford’s Advanced Vehicles Operation (AVO), the Mexico was used as an experimental vehicle by the engineers before being strengthened and prepared as a back-up ‘recce’ car for the 1973 East Africa Safari Rally. At this time, it had a 1,840cc cross-flow Kent engine installed, while a BDA is known to have been installed at some time. The entire Ford works cars retired from that year’s Safari Rally and out of six red-finished back-up cars only two returned. Back at AVO, the cars were scheduled for decommissioning but company employee John Aedy was permitted to buy ‘RWC 483K’, together with an RS2000 bodyshell, provided that the car was returned to standard Mexico specification. The original 1,600cc cross-flow engine was refitted and the car converted to right hand drive, after which Mr Aedy installed the seats from the RS ’shell and used the Mexico as his daily drive for many years. The Mexico left the Aedy family’s ownership in 1988. The penultimate owner purchased the car in 1998 and soon after purchase, this unique car was recognised for what it was and a seven-year rebuild commenced with assistance from John Aedy, who provided a number of useful spares. ‘RWC 483K’ was MoT’d and back on the road in April 2005 and since then has been featured in Classic Cars and Classic Ford magazines. At the end of that year, the engine was sent to CTM Performance in Dagenham where it was rebuilt, retaining the original block and enlarged to 1,760cc. Unleaded compatible, it breathes via twin Weber 40DCOE carburettors and produces around 150bhp. Copies of the aforementioned magazine articles listing this car’s most impressive build specification (too lengthy to include here) are available on request. Since completion ‘RWC 483K’ has been shown and won trophies at various classic vehicle shows. At the Classic Ford Show in 2006, the Mexico was signed by Tony Mason, Roger Clark’s co-driver on the ’73 Safari, who recalled driving ‘RWC 483K’ from Dar Es Salaam to Nairobi at night. Ex-AVO men Mick Jones and Bill Meade added their signatures at the AVO National Day in 2007. Presented in superb condition throughout, the car is offered with restoration invoices and a V5C registration document. Ex-works Fords are among the most sought after competition cars around, and although ‘RWC 483K’ has no in-period rallying history, it nevertheless represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine AVO-built example that, unusually, retains both its original bodyshell and engine.

Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster ‘Flat Floor’
Year: 1961VIN: 876189Registration: AOD 22ATransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 120000 - 150000
Introduced in 3.8 litre form in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8-litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265 horsepower on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Firstly, because it weighed around 500lb less than the XK150 and secondly, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car. Originally despatched from Jaguar Cars on 5th December 1961 to their dealer in New York, this ‘Flat Floor’ E-Type was repatriated to the UK and registered on 1st November 1989. It appears she was restored in the late 1980s and at that time, had a colour change from the original Opalescent Silver Blue to the current colour of red and black interior. Now in right hand drive format, we are advised by the vendor she appears to be a quite sound example and runs well, although she has been used very little over the last few years and would benefit from some time and financial investment. Early Series I E-Types continue to attract commanding prices and this Jaguar appears to be attractively estimate given the fact she is a 1961 ‘Flat Floor’ example.

Year: 1995Mileage: 154,000VIN: 8CSZ000351Registration: M254 FUGTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 24000 - 32000
Collaboratively designed as a joint venture between Audi and Porsche and built on Audi's 80 Avant, the RS2 was Audi's first 'RS' vehicle and the first of their high-performance Avants (estates), using the most powerful and most thoroughly developed version of Audi's inline five cylinder turbocharged engine. Since its release, the RS2 has amassed an impressive cult following worldwide and is often regarded as being the vehicle that firmly established Audi as a producer of practical high-performance vehicles twinned with their permanent four-wheel drive Quattro drive train. All RS cars are usually produced in limited numbers and pioneer some of Audi's latest and most advanced technology and engineering prowess, therefore, 'RS' cars could be described as halo cars. Only 180 righthand drive cars were ever built for the UK, New Zealand and South African markets making this a very rare car.With 311bhp available, the RS2 could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds and achieve a maximum speed of 162 mph. In a 1995 road test, British car magazine Autocar timed the RS2 from 0 to 30mph at just 1.5 seconds, which they confirmed was faster than both the McLaren F1 road car and also Jacques Villeneuve's Formula One car of that time. Even by more modern standards its performance is exceptional. This well presented example, in iconic Nogaro blue with black leather and blue alcantara inserts along with carbon trim panels belies its mileage. The original “mega-estate”, this example is completely original and has been fantastically cared for throughout its life. Recently serviced including a new cambelt, the vendor reports that it runs and drives beautifully. The condition is impressive with little sign of wear on the seats or steering wheel. Being just 1 of just 79 righthand drive RS2's registered on UK roads today this offers a unique opportunity to not only attain an appreciating future classic, but also a car that offers Porsche 911 speed with Audi Avant levels of luxury and practicality. Assembled by Porsche at the same plant they produced the legendary 959, the RS2 is an impressive joint venture. With a 6 speed manual gearbox, Brembo brakes and Porsche cup alloy wheels you’d expect from a Porsche, but with luxuries such as air-conditioning Recaro seats and 4-wheel drive you’d expect from Audi, the RS2 was a true masterpiece of co-development. The car is supplied with a service log book with 23 stamps, V5C registration document, MoT test certificate that expires in April 2019, and many receipts. ]]
Collaboratively designed as a joint venture between Audi and Porsche and built on Audi's 80 Avant, the RS2 was Audi's first 'RS' vehicle and the first of their high-perfo...morermance Avants (estates), using the most powerful and most thoroughly developed version of Audi's inline five cylinder turbocharged engine. Since its release, the RS2 has amassed an impressive cult following worldwide and is often regarded as being the vehicle that firmly established Audi as a producer of practical high-performance vehicles twinned with their permanent four-wheel drive Quattro drive train.
