1960 BSA A10

Lot # 701 (Sale Order: 2 of 48)

Make: BSAYear: 1960Registration: TBAEngine - Displacement: 646ccEstimate - Range: 0-0

Following the war, the desire for increased horsepower, driven largely by the US market, prompted British motorcycle makers to begin creating more powerful machines based on Edward Turner’s revolutionary 1938 Triumph Speed Twin. The Birmingham Small Arms Company’s answer was the A7, a 500cc vertical twin motorcycle that went on sale in 1946. Demand for yet more power and speed led to the swift evolution of these machines and the first A10 model, The Golden Flash, went on sale in 1950. Various incarnations followed, with the A10 Super Rocket being produced between 1958 and 1963. This model sported a new alloy head and an Amal TT racing carburetor alongside a markedly more powerful 646cc air-cooled twin engine with a reputation for reliability.Finished in metallic blue, this particular BSA A10 was first registered in Canada in 1960 and has great potential as a rolling restoration project. Complete with NOVA number, this machine is strictly sold as seen and buyers are encouraged to come and view this motorbike at the auction. Offered without reserve, this is an opportunity to own and restore arguably the definitive British motorcycle of this period.

1930 Sunbeam 9/90 Sport Hybrid

Lot # 702 (Sale Order: 3 of 48)

Make: SunbeamYear: 1930Registration: ZA553Engine - Displacement: 498ccEstimate - Range: 8000-10000

Sunbeam 500 cc model 9/90 Sport Hybrid 1930A unique opportunity to acquire this very interesting period machine which , when discovered by the vendor, had clearly not been in use for a lengthy period. Although not a ‘barn find’ as such, this machine did need a fair amount of re-commissioning to bring it up to its current condition. Having owned several Sunbeams in the past, the vendor was aware that this machine was not original for the year, but appeared to have received some interesting upgrades and so went ahead with the purchase. But it wasn’t until he rode the machine, post re-commissioning, that he realised he had stumbled across something very special indeed.Setting out on its first post re-commissioning ride, it became apparent that this was a very well sorted machine, with a strong lively engine, lovely gearbox, sweet handling and noticeably more powerful than the vendor’s previous model ‘90’. The general spec is as follows:-The frame and wheels appear to be a Model ‘9’ of 1930 vintage and there is an original buff log book accompanying it. Fitted to the frame are the later (1931-on) ‘Castle’, single centre spring girder forks, which give far superior handling and compliance than the original ‘Druid’ type, originals. The engine and matching date stamped special carburettor, are of 1929 vintage Model ‘90’, with ‘hairpin’ valve springs and twin exhaust port head. The accompanying twin ‘shotgun’ pipes were unsilenced, but now contain discreet baffles, in order to humble some of the ‘machine gun’ bark that followed it down the road. The most interesting modification is the 4 speed positive stop close ratio gearbox, (1933 vintage), which transforms the riding experience quite literally. The original 3 speed ‘crash’ boxes are nothing short of dreadful and the gear change a horrible experience, but this 4 speed box – simply brilliant. And so, somebody, many years ago, had obviously gone to a great deal of trouble and no doubt expense, to achieve the result above, but why? A question that wasn’t answered until only a year ago, when two elderly Irish gentlemen at a show where the bike was being exhibited, spotting the ‘Dublin registration number’, came over and told the vendor of its likely history. Motorcycle racing in Ireland was very popular in the ‘30’s, during the run up to the 2nd world war – and Dublin had its own series. It is most likely that this machine was built and commissioned to compete in those races, since Sunbeam bikes were highly rated and the modifications carried out on this machine were synonymous with the competition bikes of the time. Fit the best and aim to win!

1928 Raleigh 21 500cc Side Valve

Lot # 703 (Sale Order: 4 of 48)

Year: 1928Registration: HW1004Engine - Displacement: 498ccEstimate - Range: 8000-10000

1928 Raleigh model 21 500 cc svDuring the inter-war period, Raleigh became the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world, but for a relatively short time (1921 – 33), they produced some very fine motorcycles. A number of 250, 350 and 500 cc side valve machines were built from 1923 until 1930 when an overhead valve version was conceived. During that period, Raleigh were praised for their superior build quality and near ‘bomb proof’ reliability. From 1935 on however, all motorised machinery production ceased, as the factory concentrated all its efforts on bicycles, many being produced to supply the armed forces during the prelude to war.This beautifully and painstakingly restored 500 cc Model ‘21’ side valve machine is an easy to live with, reliable starter and has the additional benefit of very rare and valuable period electric lighting and charging system. Restored with all original factory items, including a bulb horn, it has matching engine and frame numbers, original registration and buff log book, showing the date of 1st registration as 03-01-1928, making it Banbury eligible. A rare and beautiful machine with great investment potential. So here we have a painstaking and beautifully restored example of one of these rare machines. Manufactured in 1928, superb component quality and finish set these motorcycles apart from other manufacturers. Fitted with very desirable period lighting, this machine starts easily, runs like a clock and of course is Banbury eligible. A fine investment..

1930 AJS R6 Twin Port 350

Lot # 704 (Sale Order: 5 of 48)

Year: 1930Registration: UR6605Engine - Displacement: 350ccEstimate - Range: 8000-10000

AJS R6 Twin port 350cc 1930Overhead valves were just beginning to appear on motorcycles in 1930, although comparatively rare and likewise, ‘twin exhaust ports’, but generally these were confined to the more expensive end of the market. As a result of advances in engine design, the ‘R6’ was designed by AJS as ‘suitable for competition’ – and by all accounts, acquitted itself rather well! This particular R6 was restored at the turn of this century to a very high standard and has since had limited use. It is quite well known, however, since it did run in the 100th anniversary TT re-enactment celebration on the Isle of Man and over the years, has become a familiar entry on the ‘Banbury run’.This machine also benefits from rare and original period electric lighting, (more suited to ‘getting home legally’, than actually lighting the way efficiently). However, with a re-silvered reflector, halogen bulb conversion, or indeed a 12-volt conversion, as many of these old machines have been subject to; a much-improved illumination of the road can be achieved. Presented here with its original registration, matching engine and frame numbers, plus the original date stamped and overhauled carburettor, a more complete and totally original bike is a very rare find. The vendor, however, now in his late sixties, is thinning out his collection of much-loved machines and feels the time has come for someone else to enjoy this fine old machine.

1971 Ford Escort Mexico

Lot # 705 (Sale Order: 6 of 48)

Make: FordYear: 1971Registration: FVO 683JChassis Number: BFATLL38497Engine - Displacement: 1599Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 15000-18000

The Ford Escort, in the hands of the Works Rally team, was practically unbeatable in the late sixties and seventies. Perhaps their most notable early success was winning the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally driven by Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar Palm. Third, in a similar 1850cc Escort, was Rauno Aaltonen and Henry Liddon backed up by Timo Makinen in fifth and the unlikely combination of Tony Fall and Jimmy Greaves just behind in sixth. This result seemed to capture the public's imagination and, with the old adage of "Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday" in mind, Ford developed the Escort Mexico, a road version of their winning rally car, with a1600cc crossflow Kent engine and brought it to market in November 1970. The rallying dynasty would continue to reign throughout the seventies creating household names of the likes of Roger Clark, Russel Brookes, Bjorn Waldegard and Ari Vatanen, and naturally Ford continued to create road cars that echoed their competition siblings.All Escort Mexicos were built at Ford's Advanced Vehicles Operations (AVO) plant at Aveley in South Essex and a total of 10,352 Mexicos had been produced when production ceased. For most drivers of standard Escorts, the rally cars were an aspirational dream and Ford's showroom promotional chant by the end of the seventies after each rally win was ‘'Share in our Success''. Offered here, is a genuine AVO Ford Escort Mexico built at Aveley in May 1971, and this is confirmed by the V5 which states 'Ford Mexico'. Its rally pedigree is endorsed by an earlier MSA rally competition logbook ( requires renewing) and the roll bar carries some scrutineering stickers. The engine is gas flowed, fed by 45 DCOE Webers and sounds very strong. It's dry sumped with the oil tank fitted in the boot and the gearbox is a Rocket with close cut, straight ratios linked to a limited slip differential. A Rally Weld alloy competition fuel tank with spare wheel recess is boot mounted. It has vented front discs and drum rears with a bias control and comes complete with a spare set (5) of Minilite 13"x6" wheels. The MoT is current until June 2016. It would obviously be sensible for any prospective buyer to check the expiry dates of any safety equipment. This is a great opportunity to own an iconic seventies 'Fast Ford', with all the history and magic that the name 'Mexico' implies.

1967 Ford Mustang Convertible

Lot # 706 (Sale Order: 7 of 48)

The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid-'60s the biggest population bubble in history was now coming of age in America, ‘baby boomers' would rule the '60s and there was little or no reason to think they wanted to drive cars that were anything like the ones their parents owned.The iconic Ford Mustang, therefore, created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and consequently it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon. The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘notchback' coupé or convertible. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon the cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear end design, both its roof and bonnet were also lower in comparison. It's with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches as the galloping horse in the grille, the cut-away side panels and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car that people were instantly passionate about.Offered here is a traditional, first generation, left-hand drive example finished in a stunning Turquoise with a contrasting two tone Blue interior. Manufactured in 1967 at the San Jose, California factory the car is one of the original ‘C' code 289 cars.This Mustang was imported in to the UK in 2015, and whilst like many imported cars it's accompanied by minimal history, it appears to have been sympathetically restored later in its life in the USA. As a result it appears to be in generally good condition all round with further scope for aesthetic improvements should one desire. Turquoise is one of the most complementary colours we have seen on a Mustang in a long time and the contrasting white roof looks to be in excellent condition and finishes the car off perfectly with the whole ensemble looking a bit 'Miami Beach'.With its rumbling '289', this feisty Mustang should deliver a great, top down, driving experience. The perfect spring weekend cruiser.

In October 1997, Mitsubishi introduced the radical 'Pajero Evolution' in order to homologate their Paris-Dakar entry of the same year. Standard fitment was a 3.5 litre, 24 valve DOHC V6 engine which featured their very advanced MIVEC system (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic lift Control). A new dual-plenum variable intake further improved both bhp and torque throughout the power range and an enhanced suspension with high-tech dampers improved both ride and handling.This particular right-hand drive automatic (or Tiptronic) car was built in 1997 but first registered in the UK in 2000. One of just 2,500 built worldwide, the 280bhp engine is very advanced and offers performance and handling to match. Currently owned by 'a friend of Silverstone Auctions', the car is now surplus to requirements and is offered here as a no reserve entry with a good service history and a full MoT. Could be the snip of the Sale!

1979 Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce

When it went on sale in 1972 after being first launched the previous year at the Turin Motor Show, the Alfasud rewrote the book. Given that Alfa Romeo had no experience of small front-wheel drive cars, the sheer dynamic excellence of the flat-four powered Sud came as a shock, leaving the opposition grasping at straws in order to catch up.In 1976, Alfa Romeo trumped the standard Sud by re-working it into a gorgeous Coupé and the results were predictably fantastic. Styling was handled by Giugiaro who, of course, had penned Alfa Romeo's most praised design, the 105 Series and who, at the time, was probably the best designer in the World in terms of drawing cars that were simply 'beautiful'. The Sprint, in many people's eyes, eclipsed the already desirable Alfetta GTV.It was especially rapid in twin-carb Veloce form, like the one offered here today, but any example will reward the enthusiastic driver. A questionable 1980's facelift did it no favours though, and most fans prefer the crisp original.First registered in 1979, this car is surely one of the most original surviving examples of its kind. Having come from a deceased estate, the car is showing just 968 miles and is believed to have had just one owner from new.It's no secret that Alfas of this era (well, almost any eras) have a tendency to rot from the knee down, however, this car appears to be in fantastic condition with just a few minor paint blemishes. Inside and outside the car is seemingly in good health and, on first inspection, presents itself as one of the most untouched cars that we have come across.Unfortunately, due to the circumstances of the car's sale, the history for this vehicle has not been found. Although some history may turn up at a later stage, one should assume that the car will be presented with no V5C or further documentation.A real time-machine of a collector's piece, this Alfa Romeo is reminiscent of the company's true ethos, the Sprint Veloce being one of the last cars built before Alfa's takeover by Fiat. A car from the glory days of Alfa Romeo, when the cars were designed for style, performance and pure driving pleasure. Full of passion and Italian sunshine!

2013 Evanta Aston Martin DBR1

Designed and built by Aston Martin in the late 1950s, the DBR1 and DBR2 were legendary sports racing cars built primarily for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other high profile sports car races of the period in both Europe and the USA.They were particularly successful in the hands of, both Innes Ireland, who won the Daily Express Trophy at Silverstone, and Sir Stirling Moss who finished second at Spa but went on to win both the British Empire Trophy at Oulton Park and the Sussex Trophy at Goodwood. Across the Atlantic, the car won at Lime Rock and Marlborough in the hands of George Constantine, before Carol Shelby and Roy Salvadori sealed the car's legendary status by winning Le Mans outright in 1959.They were regarded as stunning looking and highly evocative of the era and today no-one truly knows the value of a DBR1 or DBR2. In 2012, DBR1/2 'XSK 497'was reputedly sold for £20million and it is likely today that they are amongst the world's most valuable racing cars.So this particular car, which was built in 2013 by the very highly respected Evanta Motor Company, owned by car designer and " For the Love of Cars" Classic Car enthusiast, Ant Anstead, is an exciting and rare opportunity. The original owner of this car took over 150 photographs of the real car and considered 15 different Pantones before selecting the best recreation of the Aston Martin Racing Green and the correct 'duck egg' colour for the frame.The car is fitted with De-Dion rear suspension and coil over front wishbones, along with disc brakes all round, 4 pot Girling front calipers and 2 pot rears. The 16" wire wheels are shod with period reproduction Michelin tyres and power comes from a brand new Jaguar 4.2 high compression engine which is not yet run in! The gearbox is a Getrag 5 speed which now has to handle 203.4BHP and 291Lbs ft of torque, according to the dyno sheet in the car's history file.Silverstone Auctions sold this car before in May 2014 to a known enthusiast and collector who has enjoyed it immensely, but wanted a better power plant than the original second hand 3.8 and so bought a special new 4.2 high compression engine which was built, fitted and set-up at a cost in excess of £14,000. Having completed only a few hundred miles (during which he was absolutely delighted) the current owner has now acquired his next classic car, which is more appropriate for the long distance European touring that he intends to do during 2016.Offered ready to enjoy this Spring and with a fresh MoT.

Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of its stylish Pininfarina lines and front mounted 12-cylinder engine meant this car had the potential to become an instant classic, following in the footsteps of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona'. With modern styling cues, a 5.5 litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a serious motor car. A less frenetic power delivery, the six-speed manual box and excellent weight distribution were all factors in the 550 becoming the perfect European Grand Tourer.This superb left-hand drive 550 Maranello was sold new through official Ferrari dealer Genesis S.A. of Athens and was collected at the factory on 18th March 1999. Purchased by the owner of Genesis S.A., Mr I. Vardinoyannis, on behalf of his cousin, Mr B. Goulandris of London, the car was then driven to the UK and registered there on 21st April 1999. Our vendor purchased it in June 2009 from Rardley Motors at 16,500 miles and it has now covered just 21,000 miles from new.Finished in the special order colour of Canna di Fucile (703/C) or Gunmetal Grey with beige hide interior, the condition of this 550 must be seen to be truly appreciated. The bodywork is hard to fault with gleaming paintwork and flawless panel fit. The interior looks exceptional in beige and both the leather and stitching are in superb condition still with the plastic protection on some of the carpets. The engine bay presents beautifully and one gets a sense that this Ferrari has been treasured and very well cared for by its previous owners.Nearly all MoT certificates dating back to 2002 suggest the car has been used sparingly but regularly, with mileage kept to a minimum. The car has been comprehensively maintained by experts such as DK Engineering, Joe Macari, Rardley Motors and Maranello Sales Ltd and the original service book, handbooks, wallet, tools, x2 keys, x3 alarm fobs and invoices are all present in the history file. In addition, the interior boasts 550 Maranello fitted luggage and the cases will be supplied to the new owner.Front engined V12 manual Ferraris continue to have the renaissance they richly deserve, and this beautiful 550 Maranello opens the door into a very exclusive club filled with these glorious sounding Grand Tourers. We welcome all pre-sale inspections on this 550, which is not only in beautiful low-mileage condition but has an excellent history to match.

1960 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe

The XK120 was launched in 1948 and was an international sensation, finally putting Jaguar on the world stage and their competition successes would see the beginning of a hugely positive period for the company. The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK line and appeared in May 1957. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the XK140 including the same 3.4-litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, which developed 180bhp at 5,750rpm. As before with the XK range, standard (with steel wheels) and special equipment models were available, but a bewildering range of models was to evolve. Firstly, in 1958, the 'S' model was announced, equipped to ‘special equipment' specification and with a more powerful engine although still of 3.4-litre capacity. Late in 1959 further options were offered with the introduction of the 3.8-litre engine and the XK150 was available not only in 3.4-litre versions but two versions (Normal and "S") of the 3.8 variety. A total of 2,200 XK150 Drophead Coupé models were made, making them an extremely desirable and rare open top British sports car, especially those with the later 3.8 engine. This original 3.8 litre XK150 Drophead Coupé was subject to a complete body off restoration approximately 15 years ago by respected marque specialists XK Engineering. Finished in its original colour combination of Cotswold Blue with matching Dark Blue interior and blue hood, the car has been used sparingly since its restoration and presents very well with good shut lines and, whilst there are some minor blemishes in the paintwork, we feel the car is eminently useable in its current form and would make an ideal touring companion.Manufactured on 8th March 1960, this example was sold new by Jaguar Cars New York and was subsequently repatriated to the UK prior to restoration. Sensible modern upgrades include a 5-speed gearbox and Kenlowe fan. Whilst being photographed, the car started up without fault and maintained healthy oil pressure. Fitted with chrome wire wheels and radial tyres, this XK150 certainly looks the part and is accompanied by a lovely history file. A large number of bills and receipts are present along with a Heritage Certificate, some photos of the restoration and its UK V5C. We believe that XK Roadsters and Dropheads offer classic British open-top motoring for a very reasonable outlay and also represent a most sensible investment opportunity. This car is a fine example of the model and would take pride of place in any Jaguar collection. We welcome pre-sale inspections and buyers are encouraged to contact the office for further information.

Anyone who followed the "World Championship of Makes" (essentially an international championship for long-distance Sports Car racing), will remember their surprise at the shape of the new 935 when it first appeared at Mugello in March 1976. Subsequently, these 'Flachbau' or 'Flatnose' 935s and 936s were to prove very competitive in the hands of drivers such as Ickx, Mass and Stommelen and during the next two seasons managed four victories in eight World Championship races and a triumph at Le Mans in each year. However, Porsche began to worry that all these victories by the works Flatnose cars might alienate the vast number of private clients who were investing their own money in conventionally shaped competition 911s, and decided to restrict their efforts for 1978 to an entry at Le Mans. The distinctive look of the 'Flachbau' (literally translated as Low Build) obviously retained its appeal in the minds of their road car customers and from 1985 until early 1989, UK Porsche 930 buyers could specify their car in this style to special order.This 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo was built on the 2nd of December 1986, and dispatched through Porsche in the Netherlands it was well optioned from new, the most obvious of course being its distinctive body shape.As if a Flatnose 911 Turbo didn't stand out from the crowd enough, early in the cars life it was sent to world renowned Porsche tuners RUF, who are the only recognised partner of Porsche and, in fact, are recognised by the German government as a manufacturer in their own right. The customer opted for a BTR conversion (B = Group B, T = Turbo, R = RUF).The basics of the RUF BTR start with the engine, which had the original partially finned cylinder barrels replaced by ones with air-cooling fins around their complete diameter. The bore was increased giving a new displacement of 3.4 litres from the original 3.3litres. Ruf added unique Mahle Pistons and connecting rods and 935 type camshafts. The intake manifold was replaced, as was the exhaust, A larger KKK K27 unit replaced the turbo, and a larger free flowing intercooler was added along with the installation of a larger oil cooler behind the Ruf front spoiler. Ruf also went to great lengths to modify the standard Porsche 930 4-speed by adding a 5th gear with the help of Getrag. Next, the shift linkage was improved, becoming both lighter and more positive than the stock unit. The cars were lowered and the suspension was stiffened, RUF also fitted single-piece forged rims, sized 9x17 and 10x17. Inside, RUF added an adjustable boost control, changed the steering wheel to a Ruf item, and added custom gauges and a half cage. This car has also at some point been fitted with Clubsport seats from a 996 GT3.The conversion produced some rousing statistics: Power increased from 300bhp to 374bhp, top speed reached 187mph, and 0 to 60mph was reached in a staggering 4.4 secs. It was at this point a Ruf BTR became the fastest accelerating production car ever. Ruf had even bettered the performance figures for Porsche's own Group B Le Mans car!The Managing Director of a highly esteemed Porsche Specialist previously owned this particular vehicle for 17 years and, we understand has been developed even further to produce around 500bhp. This distinctive Porsche is presented with all its paperwork which is available to view, and has recently been prepared for sale by Porsche Centre Leeds. A true 80's Poster girl, outstanding looks with ballistic performance, easily a match for any modern day supercar.

When Ferrari introduced the Testarossa in Paris in 1984 it was regarded as possibly the best car Ferrari had ever built but, whilst the design was spectacular, it was not considered to be as sensually beautiful as numerous Ferrari Grand Tourers of the past. Uncharacteristically, Pininfarina had designed a modern, aerodynamic and efficient body, immediately recognisable by its very distinctive side strakes unlike anything else seen before. The name 'Testarossa', literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the 50s and 60s and was resurrected at the launch of their new model at the Paris Show at Porte de Versailles in 1984. Housing a 4.9-litre V12 engine producing 390bhp, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossas were made in total. Once again time showed Pininfarina's design to be durable and throughout the eighties, the distinctive 'strakes' were copied in countless contexts. Simultaneously, the Testarossa proved itself to be a well-built car, and despite its towering high price from new, turned out to be Ferrari's most successful model ever.Today it's a design icon, symbolic of eighties culture, and despite a period in the 'boondocks' its popularity is returning rapidly. It's not a surprise really since the Testarossa offers a rare package of powerful performance, practicality and comfort and its groundbreaking design works equally well on the highway or in an exhibition of contemporary art.This 'last of line' Ferrari Testarossa was delivered in Italy on 28th October 1991 by Crepaldi Auto Milan, the biggest Ferrari dealer in Italy! Staying with its original owner but hardly used, it changed hands to its second and only other owner in 2007, with just 2,780 Kms recorded at the time. It then had an engine out belt service and the new owner fitted a Tubi exhaust to optimise the sound of that glorious flat 12.The history file tells us, with a documented picture record, that the car was taken to obtain "Italian ASI classic car certification", confirming the original engine, gearbox and chassis are still united and further that the car is accident-free and retains its original paint finish. It has just returned from a full engine-out service, including belts, carried out by specialists Aldo Riti at a cost of £6,000.Today, this glorious Rosso Red with Tan leather upholstery, left-hand drive car has covered just 4,608 Kms, or 2,800 miles to you and me. It is highly collectable, totally original and very desirable, particularly at this very sensible guide. It is certainly priced to sell in the market today.

The original Land Rover Series I was designed by Maurice Wilks and launched by the Rover Company of Solihull on 30th April 1948. It had an 80-inch wheelbase and a sturdy box section ladder-frame chassis. The open back with 3 seats in the front design was heavily influenced by the American World War Two Willys Jeep. The Land Rover quickly became popular with both the army and the farming fraternity (not least because it had a 'power take-off' or PTO as standard). The wheelbase was extended to 86 inches in 1955 to give the vehicle more stability and greater load capacity. A canvas top also became a practical addition. The strong, reliable 2.0 litre petrol engine was standard until 1957 when, with the introduction of the Series II model, a diesel engine was offered as an alternative.This 1955 Series One 86" petrol Land Rover was supplied new to F. Dobson Limited of Bexhill-on-Sea on 8th September 1955. The car was originally painted L1 Green and was a RHD Home Market example according to the Heritage Certificate. The last owner was an avid Land Rover enthusiast and set about restoring chassis number 170600255 over a ten year period between 2002 to 2012. As detailed by invoices for parts and photographs in the history folder, this Series One was taken back to the bare chassis and all corrosion attended to. The bulkhead was stripped and removed, all rust was removed and new footwells were welded in. Pictures show the car as a complete rolling chassis. Where original parts were in good condition they were cleaned and repainted as necessary. New parts that were fitted during the restoration included: brake wheel cylinders, brake pipes, brake shoes, shock absorbers, upholstery, hoses, wiring loom, clutch, front bumper, windscreen frame, tyres, water hoses and voltage control regulator. Where specialist work was required, the owner sub-contracted accordingly. The gearbox and front axle were rebuilt by marque specialists JSF Norwich. The brake master cylinder by Past Parts of Bury St Edmonds and the SU fuel pump by Land Rover Orphanage. Many hundreds of hours were dedicated to the rebuild and the car has covered only 500 miles since completion.Presented in standard specification, HSL 826 has been lovingly preserved for generations to come. In October 2012, the exact same model, although formerly the property of Sir Winston Churchill, achieved £140,000 at auction. This consignor is no stranger to world record beating Land Rovers, and with the demise of the Defender this year, this is a great opportunity to purchase a superlative example of a 'proper' Land Rover.

Regretfully Withdrawn1999 GTD Lola T70 MkIIIB Replica

Lot # 715 (Sale Order: 16 of 48)

In period, the Lola T70 was acclaimed as one of the most beautiful Sports Prototype Coupés of its time, and fifty years later its dramatic looks still have the ability to stir the soul of anyone passionate about motor racing. Perhaps the most widely recognised of the large variety of competition cars produced during four decades by Eric Broadley and his team at Lola Cars Ltd., the T70 was the most successful and these iconic racers have stood the test of time as, alongside the "Continuation" cars produced in 2005, numbers of original T70s are still to be found thundering round at most prestigious Historic Meetings.Most of us have stared at a 'big banger' sports racer from the sixties and seventies, spitting and belching flames as it was warmed up in the paddock, and wondered just what it would be like to drive on the road, and in the mid-nineties Roger Attaway from GT Developments in Poole decided that was exactly what he would like to create and it was going to be a Lola T70 Coupé. In fairness, GTD were the best known and most respected builders of GT40 Replicas in the country and had the necessary facilities and talented engineers to make an excellent job of it. They had started out originally as agents for the KVA GT40 Replica but it wasn't long before they had redesigned the front and rear of the KVA chassis and were selling the cars as GTDs. As is often the way with bright young engineers, they weren't happy until they were building the whole car to their own standards and many of these still take pride of place at GT40 events today. The design and construction of a road-going T70 Mk.IIIB on their GTD/GT40 Chassis was not the compromise it may sound as the original T70, introduced in 1965, used a chassis developed from Eric Broadley's 1962, Mk. 6 GT sports racer, which effectively was the basis for Ford's GT40 and latterly became known as the 'GT40 Prototype'. The fabulous car offered here is one of those road-legal, GTD T70 Mk.IIIBs, the construction of which was supervised and meticulously completed by Derek Bell of Bell Performance and Design.Powered by a 5.8 litre (355ci) Chevrolet V8 on Webers with an MSD Ignition System and mated to a Renault Gearbox (modified and strengthened by Bell Performance) resulting in a power delivery that makes it a very effective track-day tool whilst remaining sufficiently tractable for road use. The suspension is fully adjustable, the brakes and clutch are competition spec, and the exhaust is removable to provide 'open pipes' for circuit use. Set up by knowledgeable recent owners (the current vendors actually own one of the original T70s) and having benefited from considerable input from a leading race team, the car is now 'on the button'.There are a number of enhancements which make this car's use on the road a real option, including air conditioning, security, extra storage compartments, a CD player and an intercom (essential really, as although the Stainless Steel exhaust is effective, there are about 500 Horses trying to kick down the stable door about 14 inches behind your left ear!).Well presented in Dark Green with distinctive White Arrow graphics the car carries the appropriate registration number V121 OLA. All looks well under the 'bonnet' and rear 'clamshell' engine cover with lots of detailing and state of the art race-technology. It's road registered and currently MoT'd.With original T70s changing hands for serious amounts, this accurate Lola replica represents the best of both worlds, able to turn a few heads at Silverstone on a Friday morning and quite a few more outside the Dog and Duck on a Sunday lunchtime.

1985 Ferrari Mondial QV 3.0

Lot # 716 (Sale Order: 17 of 48)

Make: FerrariYear: 1985Registration: TBAChassis Number: ZFFLD14S000045233Engine - Displacement: 2925ccTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 25000-30000

The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina as its choice of styling house, and it was sold as a mid-sized coupé and, eventually, a cabriolet. Conceived as a 'more usable' model, offering the practicality of four seats with the performance of a mid-range Ferrari and hopefully attracting a slightly wider audience than their traditionally more focused two-seaters. The car's body was not built as a monocoque in the same way as a conventional car but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena and clothed a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it had been on earlier models.Like the new 328 GTB, the Mondial's engine grew in both bore and stroke to 3.2 Litres (3185cc) for 1985, and output was now 280 bhp (201 kW). Available in both Coupé and Cabriolet forms, styling was refreshed with redesigned body-coloured bumpers, similar to the 328 with more integrated indicators and driving lamps, and new wheels with a more rounded face. The 3.2 also boasted a major interior update with a more ergonomic layout and a more rounded instrument binnacle. This LHD, Ferrari Mondial 3.0 QV is finished in Grigio with Tan leather and was sold new by Autodino AG Zurich on 30/05/1985. Having covered just 56,000kms (35,000mls), the car is in fine order indeed having clearly enjoyed a well-maintained life, the service records for the car are as follows:10/07/1985 - Autodino AG - 1000km 09/12/1986 - AutoDino AG - 2,500km 11/06/1987 - AutoDino AG - 13,660km 06/06/1988 - AutoDino AG - 23,790km 18/06/1991 - Foitek AG Ferrari - 35,700km 16/08/1996 - Garage Frey Hore Ferrari - 45,358km 04/04/2013 - Touring Garage Imboden AG - 55,453km with belts 02/2016 - UK specialist, just prior to auction full service with beltsAccompanied by its service book and handbook in the correct leather wallet, and recently prepared for sale including a full belt service, new MOT and UK registration, this lovely Mondial is an excellent example of one of Ferrari's most approachable sports cars.

1972 Ford Escort Mexico

Lot # 717 (Sale Order: 18 of 48)

Make: FordYear: 1972Body Style: SaloonRegistration: UVW 358LChassis Number: BFATMK00275Engine - Displacement: 1601Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 27000-29000

The Ford Escort Mexico was introduced in November 1970 and was so named because of Ford Motor Company's victory in the World Cup Rally. This rally started in London on 19th April 1970, and finished some 16,000 miles later in Mexico. Originally Ford intended to use Escorts with the Twin Cam or BDA engine, but after reconnaissance work it was decided that high speeds and high power were less important than reliability and ease of servicing, and therefore the 'Kent' pushrod engine was used in the Escort shell.It seems likely that Ford already had plans to produce a high performance Escort to fit in the range between the 1300GT and the Twin Cam / RS1600, but their victory in Mexico provided an ideal platform to launch such a model. The engineers at the newly formed A.V.O (Advanced Vehicles Operations) quickly developed the 'Mexico', marrying the Type 49 body-shell as used in the Twin Cam and RS1600 with the 1600cc Kent 'crossflow' engine and 2000E gearbox. So, effectively, the Mexico was basically a re-engined Twin Cam / RS1600.The Mexico was AVO's most successful and numerous of the 'Rally Sport Escorts,' and it had a number of advantages on the road, in that it had good performance, was easy to maintain, relatively easy to insure and above all it was great to drive, something which is still very true today.The car presented here is a Ford Escort Mexico, first registered on 1st August 1972. With the correct chassis and engine numbers for a Mexico, this car is now something very special. Looking fabulous in its original colour of Monza Blue (rare in period) it's in quite exceptional condition and must surely be one of the best examples available.The car's original shell suffered with rust and was beyond economical repair, but luckily the owner at that time managed to source a very rare, new Mk1 Type 49 heavy-duty shell. This complete shell, including doors, boot lid and bonnet had been in dry storage since 1975. There are photographs in the car's history file to support these details. The shell was purchased in 2000 (the original advert is also in the file), and the car was comprehensively re-built. All the original parts from the car were either recommissioned or replaced as necessary and put onto the new shell. All mechanical components were overhauled with the engine being completely re-built. This engine work is supported by invoices, as is much of the overhaul.The interior has been fully restored and benefits from upgraded Contour sports seats. The car also has some additional, period-relevant upgrades including Bilstein suspension, Cibie spot-lights, twin 40 Webers, a Burton head and RS alloys.It's obviously impossible to buy a new Mk1 Escort Mexico, but UVW 358L may be as close as you can get. The car has done just 500 miles since its restoration. With completely original cars being very hard to come by, and with most surviving examples having had new panels, some welding and/or some inferior rebuild work, this car represents the perfect solution. It is absolutely ready to go and would be an asset to any collection. These special cars have quite a following, with a strong club scene and this example is sure to be revered and celebrated.

1987 Ferrari 328 GTS

Lot # 718 (Sale Order: 19 of 48)

Make: FerrariModel: 328 GTSYear: 1987Registration: D1AFTChassis Number: ZFFWA20C000069231Engine - Displacement: 3185ccTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 120000-140000

The Ferrari 328 GTS and GTB had their worldwide debut at the 1985 Frankfurt motor show. Its styling is an obvious evolution of the Ferrari 308 series, with Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti softening his previous design so that it remained a popular choice with the Ferrari aficionados.Under the engine cover is the same transversely-mounted, fuel-injected V8 engine from the Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole, with an increase in displacement to 3.2 litres. Performance, handling and road holding are a big step on from its predecessor, although it retains all the benefits of the Ferrari 308's independent suspension and five-speed manual gearbox. Another significant difference over the Ferrari 308 is the use of galvanized steel, which greatly reduces potential rust problems compared to its forebear.The early models of the 328 have an edge as far as collectability goes, thanks to several unique interior details, as well as the elegant concave wheel design. In 1988, ABS became available, and these later cars have a redesigned convex wheel to accommodate the system. While the 328 GTS was a runaway commercial success for Ferrari, the number of RHD cars built was less than 10% of the production run.This particular Ferrari 328 GTS is one of just 250 right-hand-drive models without ABS. The car is presented in the incredibly rare combination of ‘clear blue' (Blu Chiaro) with cream hide and dark blue carpets. We understand there are fewer than 15 right-hand-drive examples of the 328 GTS in this particular colour.Even more significantly, the odometer in this Ferrari 328 GTS records just 5,900 miles from new. It has been described by leading marque experts Foskers as: "in superb mechanical and cosmetic condition, and has recently received a new clutch and service". Documents within the history file substantiate the car's light use, while the complete and original book pack with service book, tool roll and jack kit are in immaculate condition.The exterior bodywork is in excellent condition, the paint retains an excellent shine and the panel gaps are even and consistent. The interior trim is simply stunning, and it even retains the original emergency lamp within the lockable central storage. All five wheels are in pristine order and they all wear the correct and original Goodyear Eagle VR55 tyres.The 328 GTS is a wonderful classic Ferrari, which is eminently useable and yet offers genuinely impressive performance. They are very hard to find in such magnificent condition, and nearly impossible to find with mileage this low. We welcome any pre-sale inspections on this vehicle and encourage prospective bidders to contact the office for further information.

2010 Porsche 997 GT3 RS GEN II

Lot # 719 (Sale Order: 20 of 48)

Make: PorscheYear: 2010Registration: HT10PDYChassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZBS780358Engine - Displacement: 3800Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 130000-150000

Described by the majority of respected performance motoring magazines as "The best driver's 911 yet", the outstanding GT3 RS Generation 2 was introduced by Porsche in May of 2010 to great critical acclaim. A lot of this journalistic enthusiasm was generated by its wholesome 444bhp output delivered in an almost linear form which, in the right conditions, whistled this Gen II car up to 60mph in 3.9 secs, 100mph 4.5 secs later and on to a top speed of 195mph with the horizon approaching rapidly. Effectively a 'Carrera Cup' car for the road, the mind blowing straight line performance was matched by its competent and predictable handling owing much to the underpinnings and suspension settings being derived from several years of competition experience with GT3s. The ride/handling balance is exceptional and the cabin is civilised, resulting in a very quick car that can comfortably be used daily. There are 911s and then there's the 911 GT3 RS.We at Silverstone Auctions are big fans of these special cars and this one owner, immaculate, left-hand drive, GT3 RS Gen II is certainly no exception. This car was supplied new in 2010 to a customer in Bahrain with Royal family connections, where it has completed a mere 1500 kms in five years.This car has obviously received meticulous attention and care during its short life, none more so than since its arrival in the UK and recently received a "One hundred and eleven point" check at the Porsche Centre in Portsmouth (with any relevant advisories dealt with and all the filters and fluids replaced). Beautifully finished in Carrera White with a Black interior, this left hand drive example is supplied with all bills and receipts for the servicing recently carried out, including brand new tyres and the brilliant AkrapoviÄ exhaust system; this thoroughbred ‘road racer' is on the button and ready to go.All the UK registration processes, MOT Valid until August 2016 and VAT liabilities have been taken care of, resulting in a competitively priced, high-performance road car designed for everyday use. Only Porsche can blend these two characteristics together so effectively.

1970 Porsche 911E Coupe

Lot # 720 (Sale Order: 21 of 48)

Make: PorscheYear: 1970Registration: TBAChassis Number: 9110220305Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 45000-55000

Porsche produced the 911E from 1969 to 1973. It was designed to be the most comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). The benefits were better power and driveability whilst the interior had a few more comfort features, better brakes and gold script on the engine cover. Sporting perhaps one of the best colour combinations for a 911 of this period of Gemini Blue paintwork with a contrasting black interior, this Porsche has all the hallmarks of a very desirable sports car. This particular example is an incredibly straight and solid ex-USA Coupé boasting a purposeful stance, and a powerful engine. On close inspection it's apparent that this car would benefit from a repaint, though it is still bright and presentable as is, and this was the way the vendor preferred it as he used it at his home in the US. Either an enthusiastic privateer or trade buyer could acquire this car and add value relatively easily which our vendor has allowed for with the guide price set today. The engine fitted to this car is a correct 911E unit, (numbered *6210153), but it is not the matching engine for this car. Rather than the somewhat temperamental mechanical fuel injection system, this ‘E' engine has been converted to run on Weber carburetors resulting in excellent throttle response, and when combined with the balanced and determined handling of these early 911s, this makes for a tight, fun and fast drivers' car. This Porsche has recently passed its MoT test certificate and the application for UK V5C registration is underway. It is thought that this will be with the car before the sale. Please direct any specific questions you may have about this car to us and we'll be happy to answer them thoroughly.

1996 Ferrari 348TS

Lot # 721 (Sale Order: 22 of 48)

Make: FerrariModel: 348 TSYear: 1996Registration: N229BWKChassis Number: ZFFFA36S0000096717Engine - Displacement: 3403Estimate - Range: 48000-52000

The Ferrari 348 series marked a radical departure in the way Maranello constructed its cars, replacing as they did a chassis of traditional steel tubes with a much stiffer monocoque structure attached to a tubular rear subframe. Suspension remained independent front and rear with wishbones, springs, telescopic shocks, anti-roll bars, and revised geometry. The ventilated disc brakes were much larger than those of its predecessor the Ferrari 328, and used anti-lock technology. A midship mounted V8 returned, but it was larger and more powerful displacing 3405cc, mounted longitudinally and mated to a transverse gearbox. The displacement accounted for the new car's Ferrari 348 designation. A higher compression ratio and updated fuel injection helped generate 300 horsepower, 30-40 more than the Ferrari 328, whilst dry-sump lubrication gave the new Ferrari a lower centre of gravity.The 348 was the last design under the supervision of legendary chief stylist Leonardo Fioravanti. Taking cues from the Testarossa, its lines were softer than those of the 328 but still curvaceous, the side strakes being the most obvious Testarossa inspiration. The wheelbase was longer than the 328's and the track wider, giving the interior a little more space.This gorgeous, left-hand drive 348 TS was supplied new on 10/02/1994 by Symbol Automobile, in Matran, Switzerland. Finished in Rosso with a Nero leather interior the car had remained in Switzerland until being purchased from a private collection recently.The car has had just two Swiss owners, both of whom kept it in private collections and seldom used it. We understand that the car was maintained mostly by the first owners collection mechanic, however the service book does show service work undertaken as depicted below:25/07/1996 - Symbol Automobile SA Matran 1000km inspection - 870km09/07/2001 - Symbol Automobile SA Matran - 10,015km with cambelt16/07/2011 - RS Garage Ferrari service 15,000km with cambeltSwiss Exhaust emission Checks: 17/02/1994 - 137km 25/07/1996 - 870km19/07/1999 - 4,624km 12/06/2001 - 8,704km 10/07/2011 - 15,000km 30/12/2015 (UK MoT) - 23,633kmJust prior to the sale the car will be undergoing a full cambelt service by A.

1992 Lancia Delta Integrale HF Turbo Martini 5

Single ownership and 50km from new.First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979, the Lancia Delta Integrale is best known for its domination of The World Rally Championship in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Constantly being developed, the first ‘Evoluzione' cars were built at the end of 1991 and carried on through 1992 and these 'Evoluzione' models were to be the final homologation cars built for the Lancia Rally Team competing under the Martini Racing banner. In the never-ending quest for better handling, the Evoluzione had a wider front and rear track than earlier Deltas and in order to squeeze this under the bodywork, the already wide wheel arches were extended even further and in the process also became more rounded. The 'new' Integrale retained the four-wheel-drive layout with an epicyclic centre diff and torque splitter, plus a Ferguson viscous coupling and Torsen rear differential. The engine, although technically the same as the earlier 16V cars, was remapped to give 210bhp at 5750rpm in order to compensate for the slight increase in weight and increased frontal area. These improvements were aimed at maximising the potential of the car and it worked, with the developed car shaving over 5% off previous stage times on asphalt and gravel.This example of one of the most iconic and sought after cars of its era, is number 124 of the limited run of 400 cars built to celebrate the Integrale's fifth consecutive victory in the World Championship for Manufacturers. It's every inch, the 'poster car' and presents beautifully in the distinctive white livery of the famous Martini drinks company, Lancia's sponsors at the time, and the interior is trimmed in unmarked grey Alcantara. Despite the competition livery, this Integrale is a road car, a road that it has only ever seen once when it was delivered by the supplying dealer to its only owner where it has remained in perfect storage conditions for the last 22 years. The car has covered a distance of only 50 kilometers from new and is supplied with its original service book, manual, invoice and tool kit.This 1992 Delta Integrale HF Turbo Martini 5 is very special, and whilst it's not accurate to describe a 24year old car with 31 miles indicated as being 'like brand new', we're not sure how else to describe it.

When a company with one of the greatest saloon car racing histories of all time and an engineering department with the greatest minds and billions at its disposal produces a car designed to be the best, you better believe it is. With only 1,383 produced during its 2004 production run, the E46 M3 CSL, the L stood for Leichtbau, was the definitive 'Touring Car' for the road. Available in only two colours, silver grey metallic and black sapphire metallic, the CSL was powered by a modified version of the usual 3,246cc S54 inline-six, mated to the exclusive SMG II transmission. This state-of-the-art transmission featured a launch control mode that automatically shifts at the optimum point for maximum acceleration, and this, in turn, was mated to the standard E46 M3 final drive and M Differential Lock. Finally, the DSC can be switched to 'M Track' mode with a steering wheel-mounted button, raising the threshold at which the system intervenes to allow for some degree of wheelspin. Zero to sixty is in an incredible 4.6 seconds, totally remarkable in a car with four comfortable seats, electric windows and a boot for the weekly shop.BMW's 'Leichtbau' philosophy in terms of the mass produced M3 was, not only to reduce weight overall, but to distribute the weight savings to retain the E46 3-Series' perfect 50-50 split. To get the centre of gravity as low as possible, the CSL adopted many weight saving technologies from BMW's Formula One racing applications. A large proportion of the M3's sound insulation was removed, along with the electric seats and navigation systems. The CSL's unique body pieces, including the roof, were all crafted from carbon fibre, glass-reinforced plastics were used throughout structural points in the car, and the standard rear window was replaced with one made from thinner glass. The results were considerably more effective than the 110kg. weight saving would suggest, as the reduction in mass in conjunction with the lowered height of that mass and less body flex led to a dramatic improvement in dynamics, and the car would turn left and right in a much more eager fashion, which, in fact, was the idea.Offered here is a rare right-hand drive example, one of just 106 in Sapphire Black, and registered new in the UK on the 23rd March 2004. Ordered with an option pack that included climate comfort, Xenon headlights with headlamp wash, CD player, park distance control, AP racing front brakes and the all important touch, a CSL Dash Plaque. Showing just 60,900 miles, this sparkling black example has full BMW main dealer service history, with a recent service and an inspection of the rear sub-frame by BMW completed just last month. The car formed part of a large private collection, and is ready to muscle its way through the streets once again.Offered with four brand new Michelin Super Sport tyres, a detailed history file that includes the full BMW book pack, sales brochure and an MoT until December 2016 this CSL offers one of the finest driving experiences available. It must be noted, that lower mileage examples of the CSL are changing hands at a shade under the £100,000 mark, making this example a very attractive car at this guide price.

In period, the Ferrari 456 was the fastest production four-seater in the world. Powered by what was essentially a detuned version of the engine powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442 bhp and, except for the F40, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that point.Pininfarina worked its magic on the 456 to create a subtly beautiful and curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Aerodynamically efficient, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum speed of around 190 mph. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456's styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina's vision in creating one of the most beautiful vehicle designs of modern times. The 'Modificata' 456 M appeared in 1998, starting with chassis number 109589 and incorporated a number of changes including improvements to the aerodynamics and cooling, and the interior, still featuring Connolly Leather, was freshened up with new seats and other detailing.This original UK, right-hand drive, 456M GTA was delivered new on 7th September 1999 to a Mr C. Hewitt by Maranello Sales Ltd in Egham. The car displays an impressive mileage of only 34,000 miles from new and is supplied with its original service manual, tool kit, compressor, x2 keys and a number of invoices in the history file.Finished in the superb colour of Blue Scuro with a black leather interior, the paintwork presents very well and the interior is a joy to behold, having benefitted from a recent refresh. The car starts up with a reassuring howl and the automatic gearbox selects gears smoothly and is perfect for grand touring.Judging by the service history, it's clear that this 456 has been correctly maintained by the supplying dealer and other reputable servicing centres. More recently this example has been looked after by Rardley, who carried out its latest service in 2015, as shown below:1: Maranello - 25/11/2002 @ 993 miles.2: Maranello - 13/08/2003 @ 8,107 miles.3: Maranello - 15/04/2004 @ 13,151 miles.4: Maranello - 22/04/2005 @ 17,289 miles.5: Maranello - 29/03/2006 @ 20,251 miles. 6: Maranello - 21/06/2010 @ 28,172 miles.7: SMDG - 26/10/2012 @ 30,787 miles.8: New Gearbox - 08/08/2013 @ 31,120 miles.9: Rardley - 12/12/2013 @ 31,631 miles.10: Rardley - 08/09/2015 @ 33,819 miles.Supplied with an MoT certificate until 8th May 2016, this 456 is ready for the arrival of Spring and is a fine example of one of the great V12 Ferrari Grand Tourers, that until quite recently have been overlooked in the market place. Last year at the Race Retro Sale, Silverstone Auctions set a world record for a Ferrari 456 and since then interest in the model has been steadily growing as collectors realise what fantastic cars they truly are.
