The AC Ace first appeared at Earls Court in 1953 and epitomised a new era of British post-war sports car production. The owners of AC, Charles and Derek Hurlock, along with AC agent, Ken Rudd, transformed the company's reputation by taking a racing special and putting it into production, with notable stylistic influences from Italian sports cars of the era. The result was a car that delivered both on the road, and particularly on the track thanks to the input of racing chassis designer John Tojeiro. Tojeiro employed the same simple tubular ladder-type chassis with an aluminium body that he had used in his earlier specials, however, the Ace differed by being fitted with all-round independent suspension by transverse springs (the first British sports car to do so), ensuring superb handling with minimal body roll and plenty of feedback. Such was the success of the Ace chassis, it became the foundation for the mighty Shelby Cobras with over three times the power of the original 105bhp, Weller designed, six-cylinder engine. The outdated AC unit eventually made way for the more refined Bristol straight-six, which had evolved from the pre-war BMW 328. The Bristol engine was far more suited to racing, as demonstrated with some success by Cooper, and in its standard form developed 128bhp at 6000rpm. Consequently, it is the Bristol-engined Ace that is most sought after by collectors.

The Ace Bristol enjoyed significant competition success being campaigned by enthusiastic club racers, private owners and most famously by the Ken Rudd team at Le Mans in 1957 and 1958. Bristol-engined Aces were run successfully at Le Mans from 1957 to 1962 by various entrants, however, it was on a domestic club level where Ace Bristols earned their reputation as superb racing machines. In total, only 466 Ace Bristols were manufactured and they are justifiably hot property amongst collectors as very few examples become available on the open market. The AC Ace was a truly innovative piece of design and represents the foundation from which the legendary Cobra was developed.

This, left-hand drive, AC Ace Bristol (#BEX452) left the factory in April 1958 and being a later car benefitted from a curved windscreen, front disc brakes and an overdrive. It was delivered new to France via Ets Chardonnet and some years later, in the late 1980s/early1990s, the car belonged to one Alain Nibart and was registered '109 OM 45'. In 1997, Msr Alain Navarro purchased the Ace and installed a replacement Bristol engine ('110/5068') that had been rebuilt by Bristol Cars in 1989 for the substantial sum of £11,048 and a detailed account is in the car's history file. It should be noted that the FIA papers still record the original engine's number, '100D2506'.

Re-registered as '231 BQY 92', the AC was restored in 1998, and at around this time an illustrated 'Rapport d'Expertise' (condition report) was prepared and a copy is on file. In 2008, the Bristol engine was rebuilt again, on this occasion by SARL Supersport in Paley, France, and other works carried out at a cost of €76,499 (detailed bills on file). On 29th January 2001, Mr Navarro sold the car to Alexis Robert, only to repurchase it towards the end of 2002 at which point the registration was changed to '830 DOD 92'. In February 2005, the AC became the property of Jean-Pierre Grave of Toulouse and Geneva who, in turn, passed it on, during April 2006, to one Pierre Pinelli of Nice. The accompanying FIA papers date from 2007 when the car was registered '771 BLK 31'.

In 2012, the Ace was imported in

• Rarely do such well-documented cars of this quality come to market and we are proud to offer this beautiful example which is now ready to begin the next chapter of its life

The new Dino 246GT was an absolute delight from all angles, its beauty, handling, engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it absolutely irresistible. The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.

This was a very modern car and a real step in Ferrari history announcing a new age for Ferrari in concept and design. Sparkling acceleration and a top speed of 145mph combined with a comfortable interior and some usable boot space meant that it was a genuine 'Grand Touring' car. Proving a great sales success, production of the Dino 246 finished in 1974 with 2,487 GTs and 1,274 GTS models.

This fabulous Dino GTS was supplied new in right-hand drive by Dick Lovett Specialist Cars to a William John Blundell of Northampton on the 3rd June 1973 finished in Azzuro Dino Metallico with Beige VM 3218 hide, Beige carpets and electric windows, exactly as the car is presented today. It was first registered EAM 97L and a photocopy of the 'Green' Logbook is with the car. Within this car's super History File are copies of the original telephone order from Dick Lovett to the Factory and the Bills of Sale from Ferrari to Maranello Concessionaires (£4,902.00) and from Dick Lovett to the first owner (£5,537.36).

The car was returned to Maranello Concessionaires in late 1979 for work to be carried out and there is a 4-page invoice in the file dated 29th February 1980 detailing those costs (£4,438.09). At the time, the second-hand value of a Dino was around £6,000 to put this expenditure into perspective. The speedometer head was also replaced with the original reading 15,445 miles. The MOT dated March 10th 1980 shows an odometer reading of 40 miles covered in the first few days of having the Dino back. At this point, the car had been painted Rosso and appears to have been looked after by Maranello for the next few years.

The Ferrari was used lightly after its 1980 rebuild and by 20/01/1995 it had only covered 1,596 miles. The car's fourth owner, Mr Luay Allawi, instructed renowned Ferrari specialists, DK Engineering, to carry out a complete refresh in February 2001. Naturally, there are detailed invoices on file indicating that over 450 man-hours were spent on this recommission and the total expenditure was just short of £16,000. The car returned to DK in November of the same year, at 2,364 miles, for minor works and extensive detailing which included removing the engine to clean and paint the engine bay, specialist finishing of the carburettors and other ancillaries, strip and rebuild the driveshafts and supply and fit a 'Tubi-style' stainless silencer. The account, in this case, totalled £8,410.16 DK continued to look after and service the car until 2018 and there are invoices on file.

This matching numbers example has recently been returned to its original Azzuro Dino Metallico and has still only covered 18,340 miles from new as fully documented in the extensive history file. As well as the af

• Fabulous period competition history (separate panel) and eligible and welcome in historic motorsport today

• Still immense fun on the road, and nicely restored with great history, this is a charming example of the embryonic Lotus Seven

Typifying the maxim that a whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, the Lotus Seven was introduced at the 1957 Earls Court Motor Show. Based around a multi-tubular spaceframe chassis, the aluminium-panelled newcomer was powered by a choice of Ford 100E, Coventry Climax FWA or BMC A-series engines. Popular with sporting motorists and club racers alike, the Lotus Seven evolved through Series 2, 3 and 4 guises before the design rights were sold to Caterham in 1973.

Sevens dominated club racing in the late 1950's and early 1960's, and with Team Lotus starting to give the established ‘Scuderia' cause for concern internationally, the fever to go racing was rife for Lotus’ in-house store's man, Jay 'J J' Hall. Astonishingly, our research into this car led us in early 2020 to catch up with Jay, who is now in his 80s, and discover the story of this Lotus direct from the source.

Jay started working for Lotus in 1958 and, like all new recruits, was told upon his induction not to have any wild fantasies about ‘staff discounts’. So when the itch to race needed scratching, Jay and some like-minded and highly talented colleagues sought to build their own cars instead. Led by renowned car designer Len Terry, the group’s resulting sports car specials were known as the Terriers and they proved very effective. Too effective, in fact. Several wins and podiums not only upset Lotus owners, who disliked being beaten by something built by the factory workers, but Colin Chapman himself was furious. Len Terry was fired over the fiasco and, on the advice of Mike Costin, Jay sold his Terrier back to Len so that he could “build a demon Seven instead.”

Jay ordered this Seven as a complete set of un-assembled parts from Lotus Components, which was an option many Seven owners took as it saved the new car purchase tax that was applied to a car completed by the manufacturer, and was released from Lotus’s new Cheshunt factory on 20th November 1959 – Jay’s birthday. Lotus had moved its operations from Hornsey earlier in the year and Jay had found accommodation at the nearby White Horse Inn, negotiating the use of its garage in the process, and it was here that Lotus Seven chassis No.787 was delivered after Jay had pulled a favour from Lotus’s van driver.

Jay also persuaded Hertfordshire’s registration office to allocate him the very appropriate registration number ‘787 JJH’ – the car’s chassis number, followed by his initials!

All that was left to do was build it. The build was gradual, using spare weekends and evenings, and completed with the help of Lotus colleagues who all helped each other build their various projects. Jay would later ease the financial burden by selling a share in the car to colleagues Peter Hutcheon in 1960 and Mark Roberts in 1961.

A ‘Series F’ car this Seven was fitted with the ubiquitous and reliable Ford 100E engine and 3-speed gearbox, and its 40bhp was more than enough to make this sub-500kg Lotus a real giant-killer. Once built, all that the Lotus needed was a livery and Jay commissioned sign-writer Roy Elmore to replicate the scheme adorning his traditional pudding bowl crash helmet: pale blue with a central white stripe.

Jay and his ‘shareholder’ Peter Hutcheon spent their first three race meetings finding their feet at Silverstone over May & June 1960 and, in this evocatively innocent era, taught themselves to drive quickly using a book called ‘How to Drive a Racing Car.” This culminated in a 5th place for Jay in the 10-lap scratch race on 18th June. Jay and Peter c

It was at the 1988 British Motor Show in Birmingham, appropriately, that the sensational Jaguar XJ220 concept prototype was first revealed to the public and, as expected, orders and the required £50,000 deposits flooded in from all corners of the world. The original concept was for a V12 engined car with a six-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive priced at just under £300,000. However, some four years later when production commenced, the XJ220 had become a two-wheel drive, twin-turbo V6 with a five-speed box on offer at £470,000. Predictably many of the 1,200 option holders tried to cancel their purchase blaming the massive change in the specification but the collapse in values of collectable supercars at the time was probably more of a factor. Eventually, the car found 275 buyers and the others don't know what they missed. Producing an impressive 549bhp at 7,000rpm and 473lb.ft at 4,500rpm and now slightly shorter by some ten inches courtesy of the smaller dimensions of the V6 engine against the bulky V12, but still, with a not inconsiderable girth of six feet and six inches, the XJ220 proved more than capable of reaching its target maximum speed. In 1992 at the Italian Nardo test track Formula One and sportscar ace, Martin Brundle, recorded 212.3mph around the banking in standard trim and 217.1mph with the catalytic converters disconnected, the latter speed equivalent to 223mph on a straight road.

With 0-60mph acceleration in a brutal 3.5 seconds, the XJ220 was indisputably the fastest road car on the planet at that time and, thanks to motorsport-developed, inboard wishbone suspension and huge ventilated disc brakes with four-piston calipers, it held the road beautifully and stopped equally as well. Production of the car began the following year in a purpose-built factory at Bloxham in Oxfordshire with the first cars delivered in July. On the circuits, the Jaguar also proved highly effective. In the full-race version, the XJ220C, another sports car ace, Win Percy, took victory on the car's race debut in the BRDC National Sports GT Challenge and in the 1993 Le Mans 24 Hours, John Nielsen, David Brabham and David Coulthard finished first in the GT class.

This particular car is finished in a beautiful dark Le Mans Blue metallic with Smoke Grey leather hides and, like all XJ220s, is equipped with factory air conditioning. It was completed on 20th November 1992 and departed Bloxham on 18th December destined for its first owner in Germany, arriving just in time for Christmas. Remarkably, the odometer registers just 2,494 miles (4,014 km) from new!

Modifications to enable the Jaguar to conform to Californian emissions regulations were completed on 27th June 2001 and it is now compliant with U.S. EPA and CARB emission control regulations applicable to 1992 passenger cars. Following this certification, the XJ spent 12 years in the USA.

In February 2009, the car was entrusted to North Coast Exotics, of Cleveland, Ohio for maintenance and repairs, and the account for this was in excess of $10,400. The invoice for this work is in the Owner’s File and details the installation of a new clutch and slave cylinder and the replacement of timing belts, tensioners, spark plugs, and air, oil, and fuel filters, as well as all fluids. A few years later, in 2013, the car was repatriated to the UK to join, what must be the most complete collection of supercars anywhere, sharing a garage with a complete set of Ferrari ‘F’ cars, a McLaren F1 GTR and Mercedes CLK GTR AMG and everything in between from the Miura to a ‘World Speed Record’ Veyron.

The Jaguar is accompanied by its, very smartly presented, XJ220 manuals in the original Smoke Grey leather owner’s wallet, its V5C, older MOT/SORN ref, US-Title and ownership docs, the invoice from North Coast Exotics, HMRC import paperwork and a copy of the January 2013 RM Auctions Catalogue at which th

Following the ravages of war Alfa Romeo regrouped, equipping their rebuilt factories with up to the minute machinery to enable them once again to become a major manufacturer on the world stage. An all-new business plan was devised to move the company into mass production and the 1,290cc Giulietta emerged to fulfill those ambitions. In best Alfa Romeo tradition a twin overhead camshaft engine was to power the new model, the smallest engine size ever offered by the company but yet, in standard form, developing 80bhp. Although offered as a four-door saloon it was the sporting Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint which captured the Italian sporting motorists' heart with its neat and functional styling looking good from absolutely every angle. The gently developed Veloce engine was offered as an option giving 90bhp and providing a top speed in excess of 100mph. Handling was enhanced by independent front suspension with coil springs and wishbones with coil spring, radius arms, and A-bracket at the rear. A 1,600cc engine was briefly offered prior to the cessation of the model in 1965 following an eleven-year production run.

This delightful Giulietta Sprint 750B dates from 1959 and was built in left-hand drive for the German market. Later that year, it was sold by Auto Freidrich in Frankfurt to its first owner. The early ownership details are unknown but on 1st July 1966, it was acquired by Douglas Foon Gee of Bellevue, Washington State, who evidently loved the little Alfa as he was to own it until August 22nd, 2012, a total of 46 years. Subsequently, the car was owned by Paul Hageman of Santa Monica, Dirk Layer of Solvang, California and Nuwest Holdings of Missoula in Montana MT before returning to Germany in 2017 where it joined a private collection.

The condition genuinely needs to be seen to fully appreciate just how incredibly well this beautiful Alfa has been cherished and retained such a remarkable quality throughout.

It’s supplied with its original Alfa Pouch containing the Owner’s Manual (in German), a number of US Certificates of Title and the spare keys.

• Delivered new to Porsche Slovenia in July 2009 finished in double black

• A 3.8-litre, manual gearbox, 429bhp, Generation II factory Club Sport

• Centre-lock wheels, red callipers, bespoke rear wing, lightweight seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher and a roll cage

• Two further owners in Germany before being acquired by our vendor to join his collection

• This rare car has covered just 9,323 miles (15,005km) from new and is unquestionably among the best in existence

This was the final evolution of Porsche’s acclaimed 997 GT3 series, reflecting the changes made for the second generation of the 997 911. Porsche’s GT series cars are produced in limited numbers by their Motorsport Division, alongside the racecars on which the GT3 is based, and as such the GT3 had been absent from Porsche’s price list since the tail end of 2007.

Visually the new generation GT3 mirrors a number of changes introduced with the 2nd generation 997 road car, namely the introduction of daylight running lights and changes to the interior, however, the GT3 does not follow the regular series 911's introduction of direct fuel injection nor the option of Porsche’s PDK gearbox. Porsche cite the 20kg saving, and customer preference for mechanical interaction, as the logic for sticking with a conventional six-speed manual transmission.

The Gen II car was powered by an enlarged version of the motorsport-derived, flat-six, now displacing 3.8-litres instead of 3.6, increasing power by 20bhp to 429bhp. Torque is also bolstered, particularly through the mid-range, whilst economy and emissions also benefitted and significant aerodynamic tweaks generated substantial extra downforce neatly offset by the larger engine’s increased torque. Other detailed changes included lighter wheels, with a single centre bolt, shaving 2.5kg from the unsprung mass, and larger yet lighter front discs brakes.

Delivered new to Porsche Slovenia in July 2009, this 911 would have been among the earliest 997-series cars to be built to the improved Generation II specification. It is estimated that in 2009, the first year of these ‘997.2’ models, only 766 Porsche 911 GT3s were built.

The car you see here is one of them and, rarer still, it was specified new as a factory Clubsport example – a designation that has become recognised worldwide as adorning only the very best driver’s cars. Flawlessly finished in the desirable double-black colour scheme, this GT3 Clubsport manages to be exciting and yet almost subtle, with only the centre lock wheels, red callipers and rear wing alluding to its performance capabilities.

On the inside, the lightweight seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher and roll cage are the more obvious Clubsport additions. However, that’s not to say that this GT3 has been compromised for road use; the seats are in fact remarkably comfortable and the harnesses and fire extinguisher remain unfitted, boxed and stored in the boot. Given this and the GT3’s stunning condition, we wouldn’t be surprised if it has never even seen a racetrack.

At 8 months old the GT3 Clubsport migrated back home to Germany, where it was registered to a specialist engineering company north of Frankfurt. A year later the Porsche was sold to a packaging firm, before being transferred into the Managing Director’s name in May 2013. At this point, the car had covered 11,368km and an inspection two years later show that the mileage had only increased to 14,436km.

The third owner bought the Porsche in 2017 to add to his significant private collection and it was from there that our vendor was able to acquire it.

The stamped service records indicate that the car benefitted from a Porsche service on 13-09-2011 at 8,074km, 08-09-2014 at 13,420km and most recently was treated to a comprehensive service and a fresh MOT at Paragon Porsche here in the UK on 15/06/2020 at 14,992km. Today the 911 has still only covered 9,323 miles (15,005km) from new and is unquestionably among the best in existence.

With a proper manual gearbox, 45-years of continuous 911 development and a 3.8-litre flat-six, it’s little wonder that these GT3s are a favourite among motoring journalists and have become a must-have road car for racing drivers and collectors alike.

• The IIA is considered by many to be the hardiest version of the 'Series' Land Rovers

• This is an unusually well ­preserved and original example having had just four owners from new

• The chassis is original and looks to have had some professional attention in recent years

• It still wears the correct ‘Elephant hide’ vinyl upholstery to its three front and two rear bench seats

• Fitted with a hardtop and tow bar and electrics

• Gently-patinated from years of family life, this well-proven Series II is ready for immediate use and is offered at No Reserve

The Land Rover range was given its first comprehensive update in 1958, and the Series II was offered in both SWB (88-inch) and LWB (109-inch) forms. It was given a rounded waistline, cleverly styled by Rover’s David Bache to mask the wider-track axles, curved side windows, a rounded roof and was now fitted with the well-tried 72bhp 2.25-litre petrol engine, although early SWB models retained the 2-litre petrol engine from the Series I for the first 1,500 or so vehicles. Other numerous changes included vastly superior steering, which was very welcome at the time.

In 1961 the Series IIA was introduced with many minor but significant improvements which made it, perhaps, the hardiest and reliable of all the Series Land Rovers. It was also the best-selling Land Rover of all time, over 50,000 being produced each year until it was replaced by the Series III in 1971.

Dating from June 1969, this particular Series IIA is an unusually well ­preserved and original example having had just four owners from new. It’s finished in Mid-Grey and the hardtop could well be original as it’s an early type with no side-windows. According to the old-style logbook, its first owner drove the car until 1981, before selling it to another long-­term owner who kept the Landie until 2009 before he, in turn, passed it on in 2011. An MOT from 1996 shows that at that point it had covered some 99,426 miles. A string of subsequent MOTs indicates that a further 5,500 miles have been added to that total.

The chassis is original and looks to have had some professional attention in recent years, the front and rear bench seats are still covered in the correct ‘elephant hide’ vinyl upholstery and it’s fitted with a heater and a tow bar. This is no Concours restoration but a well maintained, working bit of kit. To use a modern expression, it’s “well-patinated” and has seen a few pairs of boots over the years but, with decent maintenance, will probably see-out most of us. A sound, well cared for IIA on offer at ‘No Reserve’, seems like a bit of an opportunity.

• "Less weight and more power", the formula that resulted in the most dynamic 911 since the legendary RS of 1973

The 911 Carrera RS 3.6 was introduced by Porsche in 1992 and was developed specifically for the European market as a 'track-ready' lightweight version of the Carrera 2. Whilst the RS did not look substantially different from other top-end 911s, Porsche engineers utilised the simple and time-honoured motorsports philosophy of "reduce weight, add power" to produce the most dynamic 911 since the original Carrera RS in 1973. Porsche went to great lengths to lighten the 964RS by nearly 175 kilograms. Aluminium was used for the doors and bonnet, and thinner glass was used for the side and rear windows. Inside, Porsche disposed of the 911's usual luxuries, including its rear seats, power windows, electronically adjustable front seats, and front armrests. They also chose to forgo the power steering, resulting in greater steering interaction and feedback for the driver.

Thanks to the use of a lightweight, single-mass, flywheel, the Carrera RS enjoyed a healthy boost in power, as well as making the 3.6-litre flat-six considerably more throttle-responsive than the standard unit in the Carrera 2. With its narrow body, and lack of a rear spoiler, the elegant and powerful type 964 is amongst the most sought-after modern non-turbocharged 911 variants.

Finished in traditional Guards Red with an immaculate black leather interior with Recaro bucket seats panelled with triple grey leather inserts, this particular Carrera RS was first registered to a German family in Switzerland and remained with them before being acquired by Porsche marque expert, Thomas Schmitz, in late 2014. Shortly afterwards, in March 2015, it joined its third owner who used the 911 predominantly for continental trips, during which time we understand that it always behaved flawlessly. The car was most recently serviced on June 11th this year by UK-based specialists Paragon Porsche and issued with a fresh MOT.

Being a standard ‘lightweight’-specification car, it features the full suite of weight saving and performance enhancements that combine to make the 964 RS such a supreme all-rounder and in this example, these include a stripped out, track-orientated interior; a revised 260-bhp version of the air-cooled M64 3.6-litre engine; lightweight flywheel; a limited-slip differential; a track-optimised suspension with a 40-mm drop in ride height and a non-power-assisted steering set-up.

That being said, the previous owner was quick to stress that this example has spent its life solely on the road and has never been raced or used on the track as evidenced by its immaculate condition, both from a mechanical and aesthetic point of view. The car remains highly original throughout, still sporting the proper factory markings on screw heads and bolts and still retains its original manuals and even the seldom-seen tyre pressure gauge.

The rare and highly desirable 964 RS was the first 911 to be graced with the RS badge since the Carerra RS 2.7 and 3.0, and it wears that badge well. Original and low mileage examples in immaculate condition are becoming increasingly hard to come by, and this example stands among the very best.

With the arrival of Ferrari's new F430 GT2 in 2006 came, not only Frank Stephenson’s stunning and fresh design, but a whole raft of improvements over the outgoing 360 GTC. With research carried out by Ferrari’s Gestione Sportiva F1 Racing Division and the build and development entrusted to the Scuderia's long-term partner, Michelotto, the F430 GT2 was a genuine leap forwards rather than just a mere evolution. A total of 25 'Series 1' GT2 cars were built for 2006. In 2007, the launch of the second series saw a further 16 examples built for worldwide GT2 competition use. For 2008, the updated and new 430 EVO GTC was introduced, with 14 examples produced in total.

Built to the FIA’s GT2 specifications, the F430 was tantalisingly eligible for a number of series around the world and would go on to regularly dominate its class. An F430 GT2 won its inaugural American Le Mans Series Championship in 2006 and achieved the 'Holy Trinity' in 2007, winning the GT2 Championship in the FIA GT, Le Mans Series and the ALMS for the second time.

For 2008, Pierre Ehret, a German-born businessman and gentleman driver, did not want to miss out and ordered two F430 GTCs. On 16th January 2008, Ferrari invoiced Ehret for the car you see here, Chassis #F131EVOGTC 2610, and he left nothing to chance when specifying his new race car. On top of the €435,000 base price, over €30,000 was spent on options, including a data acquisition system, water and engine oil quick refilling equipment, air conditioning, 24-hour race lights, a carbon clutch and an uprated front brake cooling system.

Prepared and run by Tafel Racing, the pair of F430 GTCs arrived at Sebring in March for the season opener, which also happened to be the most important race of the year: the legendary 12-Hours. The car's owner, Pierre Ehret, shared the driving of No.73 with team owner Jim Tafel and the late, great Allan Simonsen, a Danish driver who would go on to become a 'Works' driver for Aston Martin, compete at Le Mans seven times and win the Asian Le Mans GT2 Championship in 2009. After the infamously gruelling round-the-clock race was run, No.73 came home 4th in class; a sterling effort which saw it finish ahead of its sister Ferrari and just 3 laps shy of that final podium position.

From Sebring, No.73 would see out the remainder of its ALMS championship with great consistency and style. Of the nine races it contested, at some of North America’s most prestigious circuits like Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, No.73 finished in the top 10 an amazing eight times – just one retirement in an otherwise outstanding season.

As a result of No.73’s points scoring regularity, Tafel Racing finished 2nd overall in the GT2 class of the 2008 American Le Mans Series Championship; agonisingly just 16 points behind the Flying Lizard team’s 911 RSR, but a whopping 36 points clear of the works-backed Risi Competizione F430 GTC.

#F131EVOGTC 2610 was retired and sold after that initial season in the ALMS, preserving it carefully for the future, and it was the car’s history and incredible original condition that caught the eye of the previous owner. It was during this ownership that the Ferrari returned to the track to compete in a select few rounds of the 2012 Pirelli World Challenge series. With David Welch at the helm, the then four-year-old Ferrari achieved three further top 10 finishes against some much more advanced machinery.

Recently returned to its 2008 Sebring 12 Hours livery and prepared in 2019 by Bob Houghton and run at Ascari for a private track day last year, #F131EVOGTC 2610 remains highly original throughout and is now available for sale, accompanied by a large number of spares.

In the same month that the F-Pace SUV became the fastest-selling Jaguar of all time, the F-Type arrived in ‘Supercar ‘territory. Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016, the F-Type SVR was a lighter, faster and sharper version of Jaguar's F-Type 'R' All-Wheel Drive. It was powered by the same 5-litre supercharged V8 but now produced 567bhp at 6,500 rpm and a remarkable 516lb.ft of torque at 3,500rpm, with all this power transferred to the road through a Special Vehicle Operations – developed, eight-speed automatic transmission and split-bias 4-wheel drive.

The SVR was now a seriously quick motor car with 0-62mph in a tad less than 3.5 seconds and a genuine 200 mph available, however, the external differences from the F-Type R were stylish and subtle with a new aerodynamics package that included a new front bumper, splitter, flat undercarriage, rear venturi and an active rear wing that rises at 70mph. What wasn’t quite so subtle was the new Titanium and Inconel quad-pipe exhaust system which was a full 16kg lighter but featured valves that open at 2,500rpm generating a distinctive metallic bark that will rattle windows and upset the neighbours. You don’t have to use full throttle and it is possible to progress in a civilised manner, but the option is there!

However, more impressive than the increased power output is the way the SVR conducts itself. We quote from a recent Road Test in Classic Car Magazine;

“Yet more impressive than the raw speed is the way it’s delivered. The smaller-engined, rear-drive F-types regularly trouble their electronic stability systems, but in four-wheel-drive SVR form traction is outrageous. Off the line the Jag just grips and goes, and the same applies when putting the power down early out of a corner: it’s composed, controlled and deeply impressive.

The beautifully weighted steering filters out any semblance of kickback, yet retains far more feedback than most modern systems, with delicious accuracy. Switch to ‘Dynamic’ mode and the car gets stiffer, harder and more focused, the smooth auto ’box serving up immediate, aggressive changes when commanded by the steering wheel-mounted paddles.

Yet although there’s grip and body control enough to ensure that your passenger will need the large grab handle, it’s delivered without the back-breaking ride you might expect, particularly when you switch to ‘Normal’ – but then Jaguar always was a master of chassis that blended balance and suppleness.”

Inside the cockpit is truly state of the art and indications that you are in the SVR include very handsome quilted leather covering seats and door panels. The stitched shapes take the form of the ‘Jaguar Heritage’ lozenge, a subtle nod to the racing DNA of the brand and a lovely touch. There’s also an SVR steering wheel and the contrast double stitching on the seating and door handles mirrors the car's external colour.

This superb F-type SVR is on offer from the SA30 collection and dates from the 31st of March 2017. It's finished in Corris Grey Metallic with a black leather interior piped and double stitched in silver grey and sits on a set of bespoke SVR Satin Black/diamond cut, 20" alloys sitting in front of yellow 'Carbon Ceramic' brake calipers.

According to the Bill of Sale from Lancaster Jaguar, Sevenoaks, the cost new was £115,696 including £12,340 of extras. Those factory-fitted options include a premium leather interior with twin stitching, 3-spoke leather steering wheel, premium-leather and suede-wrapped instrument panel with piping, dark brushed-Aluminium centre console trim, Panoramic glass roof, Climate Pack 2 F-Type, automatic climate control, Meridian 380W sou

• The ultimate spec Miura

• One of 147 SVs built in total

• One of the final 94 split-sump cars

• One of only 11 right-hand drive cars

• Full European spec when new

• Desirable factory fitted A/C, LSD and Radio Pack options

• Fully documented 32,014 miles (51,523km) from new

The first “supercar” from Lamborghini, and arguably the first supercar the world had ever seen, was the P400 Miura. When it was first unveiled at the 1966 Geneva Salon, its impact was nothing short of extraordinary. Simply stated, the Miura looked like no other car on the road, and it marked a paradigm shift in the design of high-performance cars. Its sensuous lines were undoubtedly indebted to the placement of its engine, which was mounted transversely, just behind the passenger compartment.

In common with a number of Lamborghinis, the Miura was named after a famously brave fighting bull and was the after-hours brainchild of seven young engineers including, Gian Paolo Dallara. While some name Bertone’s young Marcello Gandini as the designer of the Miura’s sinuous, lightweight aluminium body, others credit Giorgetto Giugiaro.

The specification is still impressive today: a lightweight frame, all-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and an exotic DOHC 4 litre V-12 engine with Weber carburettors. Capable of nearly 180mph (remarkable in 1966 when people were still astonished that an E-Type could reach 150mph), the Miura continues to intoxicate today.

Constant evolution resulted in the ‘S’ (spinto or tuned) version in 1968, followed by the ultimate, 385 bhp SV (Spinto Veloce) that debuted at Geneva in 1971. The SV featured greatly improved suspension design and therefore handling, to rectify the concerns when driving previous models, the late 'S' model's ventilated disc brakes were carried over, nine-inch Campagnolo wheels, fat Pirelli tyres, aggressively purposeful body modifications and a leather-trimmed interior. During the autumn of 1971, an optional limited-slip ZF differential became available, and split-sump lubrication appeared. All told, the Miura SV was simply the fastest production vehicle on the planet. Just 147 were built and production ended in early 1973, although the last deliveries were made that autumn.

CHASSIS 5036

The SV was the final evolution and considered the most desirable Miura with only 147 manufactured within a total of 762 built. Of these 147, it is the final 94 cars supplied with the split-sump engine, such as this car, that is considered to be the absolute best.

Completed on the 31st of March 1972, Chassis 5036 was originally ordered via Italian concessionaire Interauto, produced to European specification and delivered new, in left-hand drive, to regular Lamborghini client Antonio Spada of Brescia. This important fact does allow any future owner the possibility to convert back to left-hand drive where there is a far larger worldwide market, should they so desire. Original features recorded include a Rosso Corsa exterior finish, optional factory-fitted air conditioning, limited-slip differential and a radio pack.

Latest research records that just nine right-drive SVs were originally commissioned and built new. The Australian Lamborghini importer was desperate to acquire two right-hand drive cars quickly for clients, so to avoid the inevitable delay in build time, the recently completed chassis 5036 and 5002 were purchased. They were both immediately, and clearly professionally, converted to right-hand drive, ahead of being shipped as effectively new, right-hand drive Miura SVs as, at the time, it was not permitted to bring a left-hand drive car into Australia. These cars, therefore, add two further examples to the tally of the original right-hand drive cars supplied worldwide.

For anyone lucky enough to have sat in or indeed driven a Miura, for taller people the tight space and close throttle pedal are immediately apparent, but amazingly this car's right-hand-drive set up allows noticeably more room and comfort.

According to the accompanying Build Log Slip, 5036 was Production Number 717, with the corresponding Bertone body number of 817, finished to European spec, fitted with Engine Number 30715 and, importantly is a split-sump car (1 of 94). It confirms the car still retains all it's original build details; finished in Rosso Corsa and Nero and was factory fitted with an LSD, air-conditioning, and a Radio Pack with roof aerial.

When it arrived in Australia in late 1972/early 1973, 5036 was acquired by Dennis/Laurie O’

• A remarkable car endowed with hundreds of hours of specialists’ work and benefiting from its big brother’s power-plant, being a wonderful hybrid between a 924 and 944

• In striking and period Signal Green, to match the 924’s original launch colour

• All mechanically renewed and boasting a beautifully upholstered interior – a real one-off and not to be missed!

The 1976 Porsche 924 was a complete departure by the company, in that it featured a front-mounted, water-cooled 1984cc engine that was essentially an Audi unit which Porsche then tweaked to 125bhp. The power went to a rear-mounted gearbox/transaxle and the advantage of this layout was that it gave the car near-perfect front/rear weight distribution which naturally improved the handling. The 924 was clothed in a pretty two plus two bodyshell which featured a large glass hatchback giving access to a relatively large rear boot making this a very practical sports car. The 2-litre engine, which powered the earlier models, developed 125bhp and the maximum speed was in excess of 125mph.

Things were to improve, however, with the arrival of the 924 S which was fitted with an 'all-Porsche' designed 2.5-litre engine with 163bhp available. With its sure-footed handling, the car was to prove a great success and nowadays is a popular choice as a potential future classic.

The car presented here started life as a C16 (UK-supplied) 1988 Porsche 924 S delivered new via Porsche AFN Ltd. of Guildford. With complete servicing history, recorded in its original booklet, done in the main by Dick Lovett Porsche of Bristol, among others, right up until 2016, with the car showing in excess of 100,000 miles, it was chosen to be ‘reborn’.

Porsche GB runs an annual, national Classic Restoration Competition open to its Official Centres and their esteemed automotive partners. Porsche Centre Tonbridge entered the 2016 competition celebrating 40 years of front-engined cars and chose this car to bestow the most comprehensive of restoration on. The team used all their in-house mechanical know-how and outsourced other work to numerous approved partners, including the bodywork to ‘SL Restorations’, who, together Porsche, investing over 650 hours of highly skilled time into the car, fitting over 1,080 new parts. This painstakingly restored and ‘uprated’ 924 S is the result; it was featured in 'GT Porsche' magazine (which you can read in the photos listed here)

This is now a remarkable car, utilising a 944 powerplant amongst other parts, being a wonderful hybrid between a 924 and 944, exploiting the benefits of either model. All mechanically renewed and boasting a beautifully upholstered interior – a real one-off and not to be missed!

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.

• A superbly preserved 944 Turbo. Comprehensive history, invoices from Autofarm and RPM, plus its original book-pack with stamped service booklet

• Featured on a PistonHeads article saying ‘This 944 Turbo might well be one of very best. There's just enough patina to confirm the odometer's admission to 21,000 miles, but in every other regard its near immaculate and in what seems to be completely original nick’

• Sold previously by Autofarm to a prominent and knowledgeable Porsche aficionado

• 217bhp, 2.5-litre engine boosted by forced induction. Clutch and gearbox uprated to suit

• The Turbo also featured improved aerodynamics, an integrated front bumper, standard external oil coolers for both the engine and transmission, standard 16-inch wheels, and a slightly stiffer suspension set-up

• Powerful 911 front and rear brakes with Brembo 4-piston fixed calipers, 12-inch discs and ABS

Following the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. The result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbine-smooth as a six.

Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (like that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward.

A 'turbo' version of the 944 was always on the cards, and for the 1985 model year, Porsche introduced the 944 Turbo, known internally as the 951. Forced induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, up to 217bhp, with the clutch and gearbox uprated to suit. The Turbo also featured several other changes, such as improved aerodynamics, notably an integrated front bumper, standard external oil coolers for both the engine and transmission, standard 16-inch wheels (optional forged Fuchs alloys), and a slightly stiffer suspension set-up. The Turbo's front and rear brakes were borrowed from the Porsche 911, with Brembo 4-piston fixed calipers and 12-inch discs and ABS was also standard.

The car presented here is a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupé and is a C16 (UK-supplied) RHD example. It is one of the most original examples of its type we have ever offered, being in the hands of real marque enthusiasts over the years. The car featured in a PistonHeads article saying ‘This 944 Turbo might well be one of very best. There's just enough patina to confirm the odometer's admission to 21,000 miles, but in every other regard its near immaculate and in what seems to be completely original nick’.

The adage of buying the best example you can find of anything, is very evident here – if you want a best-of-breed 944 Turbo, this car is certainly that. Never restored just maintained extremely well and used infrequently, with specialists such as Autofarm and RPM looking after it over the years, there is much to appreciate here. All supported by a comprehensive history file, numerous invoices and its original book-pack with stamped service booklet, as whole package is hard to beat.

• Finished in limited edition Orange, with black wheels and decals and just 5,534 miles from new

• An original 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive Gen 1 having formed part of an amazing Private Porsche collection

• An RS version of the 997 GT3 became available in October '06 weighing some 20 kilos less

• The reduction in weight to 1375kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp/ton

• One for true 911 enthusiast, this RS must be one of the lowest mileage GT3s in existence and we feel represents an excellent opportunity

In February 2006, Porsche revealed their first-generation 997 GT3, and in common with all GT2 and GT3 iterations, most of the developments and upgrades were directly related to performance improvements on their competition cars, and the associated homologation requirements for FIA approval. In addition to the new 415bhp, 3.6-litre flat 6 with its 6-speed box, the vehicle pioneered "zero lift" aerodynamics, meaning, at speed, the body shape created only aerodynamic "downforce" with no grip-diminishing "lift" and made extensive use of a racing-related version of Porsche's active PASM suspension system. This made it the first of the quick RS or GT3 versions to feature an electronically adjustable suspension set up. An RS version of the GT3 became available in October of that year weighing some 20 kilos less, and this saving was achieved by the use of a carbon fibre rear wing, a plastic engine cover and a lightweight rear window made from the same material. A slightly wider track was concealed in the muscular rear end provided by the Carrera 4 shell, aiding grip and stability at the expense of a little bit more drag, however, the reduction in weight to 1375Kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp /ton. The body panels are unique to the 997 GT3 RS, and a small number of cars were painted in a limited edition Orange colour (8C6) mixed specially for this model.

This, ‘C16’ UK supplied, right-hand drive, Gen 1 example is one of 119 Uk cars only and has covered a remarkable 5,534 miles from new. Finished in limited edition orange with black wheels and decals this example has only two previous owners.

• Gleaming Crystal Silver Metallic paintwork, unmarked midnight blue interior and hood

• Only 19,283 miles from new and three previous owners

• Complete with its original leather wallet containing service manuals and records, and previous MOTs

In 1989 the second series of the 944 was introduced, powered by a 210 bhp normally aspirated, double-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0-litre version of the 944S engine, which was the largest four-cylinder engine in production at the time. The 944S2 also benefited from a revised transmission and the gearing was tweaked to better suit the torque and peak power characteristics of the 3.0 L M44/41 powerplant. The S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the 944 Turbo model and this was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the bumper and bonnet profiles would merge smoothly with the valance, a design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on production cars from the early nineties. In 1989, Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet that featured cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg in Germany, creating a very good looking car with excellent dynamic qualities that was rewarding to drive and well received by the motoring press. This 19,300 mile, 944 S2 Cabriolet has enjoyed the sunshine with three previous owners who were obviously fastidious and caring, as is evident from the car's proud stance and impressive appearance. We are informed it has always been garaged and maintained to the highest standards. The car's history file contains some relevant records and invoices in its leather wallet, including the service manuals and records, and previous MOTs. A fresh MOT will be issued before the sale. Built in the last year of 944 production, there can't be many 944 Cabriolets with mileage as low as this. The car positively shouts "Buy me" with its gleaming Crystal Silver Metallic paintwork, unmarked midnight blue interior and hood, and its smartly polished alloys. Inevitably, as the prices of good 911s creep ever higher, 944s, 928s, and 968s will surely follow, so now may be as good a time as any to join the party.

Sitting near the top of the 993-generation hierarchy, Porsche’s 911 Turbo S was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997. The basic facts can look a bit dry; Type 993, 450 bhp, 3605cc air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with twin turbochargers and electronic fuel injection, six-speed manual transaxle, front and rear independent suspension with coil springs, and four-wheel ventilated steel disc brakes, however, the Turbo S was a big step up over the standard 911 Turbo in terms of performance and price. Headlined by a 0–60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 seconds, only half a second faster than the standard Turbo. But that didn't matter, the Turbo S was special and getting your name on the waiting list to buy one was nigh on impossible unless you were very closely related to a Dealer Principal. All 345 examples of the 993 Turbo S were built by Porsche’s Exclusive department and the specification included a number of unique features when compared to other 911s of the period. The car sported yellow brake callipers, a unique rear spoiler, polished five-spoke Turbo S wheels, an Aerokit front spoiler, an air intake in the rear wings, and four exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the 911 Turbo S luxuriated in carbon fibre trim contrasting with the softest of leathers and provided the type of luxury that customers had come to know and love from Porsche’s top-shelf models.

This, ‘C16’ UK-Supplied, right-hand drive, Turbo S is one of only 26 and has covered a remarkable 29,097 miles from new. Supplied with two sets of keys, service book, manuals and reams of invoices this special car will reward any inspection.

As one of the last air-cooled 911s, the Turbo S is one of the most powerful models to have worn the 911 moniker and as a result makes it hugely desirable and collectable.

• A 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive 993 Targa. Desirable manual gearbox and only 23,916 miles from new

• The last of the hand-built 911s.

• All-glass retractable roof rather than removable panels - cementing the link between heightened functionality and aesthetic form

• Less than 24,000 miles from new with service book, manuals, and spare keys

The 993 Targa was released in the 1996 model year and showcased a retractable glass roof dubbed the “greenhouse” system which would continue to feature on the 996 and 997 models. The glass roof slides underneath the rear window creating an open-air motoring experience without the hassle of a convertible. The new design allowed the Targa to retain the same profile design as the other Carrera variants and freed the driver from the inconvenience of storing the detached roof. Delivered on the 28th of August 1997, this particular Arctic Silver C2 Targa with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox has covered less than 24,000 miles from new. Leaving the factory with Sport Seats, Optional Rear Wiper, and a Graduated Tint Windshield, the condition throughout is exemplary and would be extremely difficult to better. Accompanied by a complete book pack, numerous invoices, previous MOT Certificates, and spare keys. A true long-distance tourer with the look of the Coupe but the benefits of a convertible. Viewing of this outstanding Targa comes highly recommended to any potential future custodian.

• Only 745 miles from new (1,200 km) with service book, manuals, spare keys and correspondence

• The Turbo combined bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance

• When launched, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet

• Having formed part of an amazing private Porsche collection we welcome any inspection of this amazing 911 Turbo

The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995, retained a tight hold on the torch of the most powerful 911 variant whilst continuing the general development and improvements to the breed as a whole. Amongst the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled, viscous coupling, all-wheel-drive system, something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the driveability of the Turbo. Under the engine lid, now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges, resided the 3.6-litre, flat-six force-fed by twin K16 turbos. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels helping to evenly distribute great handfuls of power, 0-60mph was dispatched in a staggering 3.7 seconds, 100mph whistled by in a further 5.7 seconds, and the linear forward thrust continued until the speedometer needle had said goodbye to 180mph and you were on conversational terms with the horizon.

This is a truly amazing ‘C25’ (Thailand delivered), right-hand-drive, 993 Turbo that’s only done 1,200 km from new. Perhaps an unrepeatable example with that mileage anyway, the car is also finished in triple yellow! Accompanying the Turbo is the original service book, manuals, spare keys and correspondence, which includes communication with the Porsche club as to the ordered specification when new. The communications confirm the paint is described as ‘Special wish flat’ with a ‘special wish interior’.

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.

We welcome any inspection of this simply amazing 993 Turbo.

• The 'S' benefitted from an 'all-Porsche' designed 2.5-litre engine producing 163bhp

• This UK-spec, right-hand drive 924 S was supplied new in February 1987 by Follett Porsche in London

• Factory-fitted with power steering, sunroof, electric windows, alarm, and a Hamilton Palmer sound system

• Only 6,600 miles during the first owner's 27-year tenure

• Maintained and serviced by main Porsche dealers on a regular basis from new

• On offer from a private collection with only 6,623 miles from new. Remarkable

The 1976 Porsche 924 was a complete departure by the company, in that it featured a front-mounted, water-cooled 1984cc engine that was essentially an Audi unit which Porsche then tweaked to 125bhp. The power went to a rear-mounted gearbox and the advantage of this layout was that it gave the car near-perfect front/rear weight distribution which naturally improved the handling. The 924 was clothed in a pretty two plus two bodyshell which featured a large glass hatchback giving access to a relatively large rear boot making this a very practical sports car. The 2-litre engine, which powered the earlier models, developed 125bhp and the maximum speed was in excess of 125mph.

Things were to improve, however, with the arrival of the 924S which was fitted with an 'all-Porsche' designed 2.5-litre engine with 163bhp available. With its sure-footed handling, the car was to prove a great success and nowadays is a popular choice as a potential future classic. This UK-spec, right-hand drive 924 S was supplied new in February 1987 by Follett Porsche in London to Mr Ashley Munir who purchased it as a gift for his daughter. From new, it was fitted with power steering, a sunroof, electric windows, an alarm, and a Hamilton Palmer music system, all factory fitted. The car was her pride and joy and she used it very sparingly, covering just 6,600 miles during her 27-year tenure. It has been maintained and serviced by main Porsche dealers on a regular basis from new, including all the fluids being changed, and is supplied with its original book pack and service history. It has to be seen to be believed as the condition is truly exceptional and is offered directly from the Stuggart Collection with 6,623 miles from new. An amazing and extremely rare opportunity to buy a totally original and highly usable classic Porsche that is, pretty much, unchanged since new.

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.

• Just 11,186 miles with a single owner and Porsche Centre service history (last serviced 27/06/2019 at 10,861 miles)

• Full book-pack, key set and 50th Anniversary owners material

• A limited-edition 911 (just 1,963 examples) to mark 50 years since Porsche first unveiled its rear-engined sports car back in 1963

• Based on a Carrera S with special styling tweaks and discerning optional extras, including Fuchs-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels, darkened headlights surrounds, chrome highlights across the engine cover, Geyser Grey paint, cloth seat inserts and a dash-mounted plaque

• Rear-wheel drive but utilises the wider bodyshell from the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4, which not only makes it look more muscular but also means that there’s a wider track and revised suspension settings

• Porsche Torque Vectoring, which includes a mechanical LSD comes as standard, and PASM, the marque’s impressive adaptive damping system, is also included

• The 3.8-litre flat-six develops 394bhp. Fitted with the excellent paddle-shift PDK gearbox

The Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition, a limited edition 911 to mark 50 years since Porsche first unveiled its rear-engined sports car back in 1963. It’s based on a 991 Carrera S with a few styling tweaks and a handful of optional extras. Production was limited to 1963 units, and prices started at £92,257 in 2014.

The 50th Anniversary Edition is rear-wheel drive, but it uses the wider bodyshell from the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4. That not only makes it look more muscular than a standard Carrera S, it also means that there’s a wider track and revised suspension settings.

Porsche Torque Vectoring, which includes a mechanical limited-slip differential, is an optional extra on the Carrera S but it comes as standard fit on the 50th Anniversary Edition. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the marque’s impressive adaptive damping system, is also included. The familiar 3.8-litre flat-six, which develops 394bhp at 7400rpm, is carried over unchanged. The paddle-shift PDK gearbox was available as an option at extra cost.

Over and above the standard car, the most readily identifiable upgrades include the Fuchs-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels, the darkened headlights surrounds and the chrome highlights across the engine cover. Geyser Grey paintwork is specific to the 50th Anniversary Edition, while a darker shade of grey and the standard Carrera S hue Basalt Black were also available. Inside, cloth seat inserts and a dash-mounted plaque set this limited-edition model apart from the rest of the range.

In Sport Plus mode, the car shakes itself down and really comes alive. Support at each corner is ramped up – although since PASM is adaptive it still works on uneven surfaces – throttle response is sharpened, and a brilliant throttle blip function perfectly matches engine and road speeds on the way down the gears.

The 50th Anniversary Edition offered here has covered just 11,186 miles from new with a single owner and has Porsche Centre service history (last serviced 27th June 2019 at 10,861 miles). With the look and feel of a ‘new’ car, this is a real chance to own a limited edition 911 at a very enticing guide price.

This was the second retrospectively-styled 911 that Porsche launched in the space of a few years. The 997-based Sport Classic of 2010 has since become a true collectors’ item, the 50th Anniversary Edition has a similar cache.

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

In 1989, marking what was believed to be the end of the forced- induction 911, Porsche created a very special, limited edition 930. With this, its aim was to create the ultimate Turbo. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the 'Exclusive' team at Zuffenhausen who rebuilt each example by hand. Just 50 of these cars were produced, offered at an incredible price of £84,492. Adding to its exclusivity, each Porsche centre was limited to just one example. A host of bespoke, no-cost options was offered, including colour-coded wheel centres, a choice of any colour for the bodywork as well as interior leather and top-tinted windscreen. The car was finished off with a gold plaque on the centre console as recognition for the LE's place in Porsche history. "G927 YND" was first registered on the 3rd August 1989 as a UK market right-hand drive car finished in Black with cream leather upholstery. Since then it has been enjoyed by four previous owners and covered a mere 25,932 warranted miles as detailed by the accompanying MOT certificates in the comprehensive history file. The car has been well maintained throughout its life benefitting from Porsche main dealer servicing up to 23,000 miles in 2006. From this point forward it has been part of a private collection and has led a pampered 2,800-mile existence with regular oil and filter changes carried out at a similar time as the annual MOT's. This original UK supplied right-hand drive, matching numbers example is in stunning condition and presented with the original book pack, V5C and current MOT.

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.

• The ultimate 928 incarnation, the GTS was launched at Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, boasting a 5.4-litre V8 engine producing 345bhp, bigger brakes, new bodywork and an automatic gearbox fitted with dynamic kick-down

• Last-year-of-production UK/right-hand drive GTS with full history with just a few (fully documented) owners

• Just 18,897 miles backed-up by a comprehensive history file, including its original book-pack (with a stamped-up service booklet), numerous invoices and old MOT Certificates

• Previously owned by a 928 Register member

• Not many 928s survive with so few miles and is certainly one of the best available anywhere

In terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation: the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928 was released was the price; it was among the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time was a problem, but in 2020 makes for a rare and incredibly desirable Porsche.

The car presented here is a 1995 Porsche 928 GTS which was initially sent new to JCT 600 of Newcastle, before being delivered via Stratstone Porsche of Wilmslow on the 28th February 1995. As a flagship model, it was used by the dealership initially as a demonstrator car. As a demonstrator it wore the registration 'M327 YSG', until the 22nd June 1995 when it sold to a Mr Davies of the Isle of Mann (changing to registration to 'MIN 928'), coming back to the UK on the 1st June 1999, then owned by a Mr Elmslie of Edinburgh (changing to registration '755 ELM'). It later sold to a Mr Irving of Cheshire in May 2001, returning to registration 'M327 YSG'. After this time, it wore a succession of other registrations, '6 TDG', 'N920 MPV', then 'L186 RTY', before again returning to 'N920 MPV', which it wears today.

In stylish Midnight Blue with Mable Grey perforated leather seats piped in Midnight Blue this remarkably well-preserved car has covered just less than 19,000 miles – amazingly low for such a GT car.

With an impressive accompanying history file, documenting ownership and service history, plus old MOT Certificates and invoices to help verify the mileage, this is a car that has obviously been loved and well maintained by a just a handful of diligent previous owners.

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.
