2004 BTCC Vauxhall Astra Show Car

Lot # 101 (Sale Order: 1 of 32)      

The ubiquitous Astra Coupé was the model chosen by Vauxhall to spearhead their challenge in the 2001 British Touring Car Championship. The cars were prepared by Triple 8 Race Engineering, who ran Vauxhall's official works program and they were obviously ahead of the game as the Astras were the first BTCC contenders to be unveiled to the press in late 2000.  Triple 8 had worked on the Astra in the summer of that year and as a result, with 4 cars - 2 with Vauxhall sponsorship (driven by Jason Plato and Yvan Muller) and 2 with Egg Banking sponsorship (driven by James Thompson, Phil Bennett, and a one-off appearance by Andy Priaulx) had given themselves a head start on the rest of the field at the start of the 2001 season. In the end, it was far more advanced in its development than anything else in the field, dominating the season by winning 25 out of 26 races. A three-way battle for the championship lasted throughout the season, with Jason Plato emerging victorious by 18 points. In fact, so dominant were the cars that the lowest placed Astra driver, Phil Bennett, who finished 4th in the Driver's Championship, was 58 points clear of the man in 5th.For the following two seasons, the Astra continued to win races and championships, with James Thompson taking the honors in '02 and Yvan Muller in '03. 2004 would be the last season the Astra Coupés were used by the works Vauxhall team with Thompson and Muller partnered by Luke Hines. Despite the arrival of SEAT with former champion Jason Plato, and strengthened Honda and MG efforts, they were unable to break the dominance of the Vauxhall, which again won the drivers, manufacturers and teams championships. Once more, James Thompson was the champion, this time edging a close title fight by just 1 point ahead of Muller. In fact, despite the strengthened works teams that had come into the BTCC since 2001, the gap still remained huge - Muller finished the season 49 points ahead of the nearest challenger.Presented here at ‘No Reserve' is a Vauxhall Astra BTCC 'rolling chassis' with all driveline parts removed. We believe this chassis was used as a show car for 888 and looks, to all intents and purposes, as if it may have raced or tested in period, but we cannot verify this. Given the popularity of the British Touring Car Championship, and the way in which championships for various earlier periods in saloon car racing (eg Super Touring) are beginning to emerge, then an opportunity to run older BTCC cars may well appear. What better chance to obtain, perhaps, an ideal spares package or indeed a base on which to rebuild one of the most successful cars in the history of the BTCC.Or alternatively, in the manner in which people buy old F1 nosecones after dinner at a charity auction, it's a great opportunity to arrive home tonight with the ultimate 'impulse purchase'!

1970 MGC GT Competition-Spec Race Car with period history

Lot # 102 (Sale Order: 2 of 32)      

At its launch, the MGC appeared to have the potential to become a great commercial success offering all the qualities of the much-loved MGB with some significant performance improvements at a very attractive price. This was not to be, however, as a number of unfavourable 'Road Tests' in motoring magazines criticising the car's 'nose-heavy' handling sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of potential car buyers. With the benefit of hindsight we now know that the manufacturer's recommended tyres and particularly tyre pressures were to blame for the tendency to understeer and this could easily have been resolved. The British Leyland Group, owners of MG, didn't help by dithering, somewhat publicly, over whether the MGC would hurt the sales of the two other six-cylinder sports cars in the range (the GT-6 and the TR6) and then eventually dropping the Abingdon car. The MGC GT did acquit itself quite well as a 'competition car' however, and two lightweight race versions (GTS) were built, RMO 699F and MBL 546E (affectionately known as ‘Romeo and Mable') to compete in the Targa Florio, Sebring and 'Marathon de la Route'.Offered here is a modified MGC that was raced in period by Mark Burnside. Sold by Silverstone Auctions in May 2015 and intended for competition use, a change of circumstances and too many other racing commitments have dictated that LVG 798H is now reluctantly re-offered to market. It benefits from having had the engine rebuilt by Steve James Engineering incorporating new Cosworth pistons, valves and new valve seats in 2010 when it was sold to its second owner. At the same time, the crankshaft and connecting rods were crack tested and the Dellortos were set up to produce around 280bhp. This healthy power output is transmitted to the road through a 5-speed T5 Borg Warner box and limited slip differential, and everything is kept civilised by rose-jointed front suspension and beefy anti-tramp bars at the rear.This 'C'GT is a very quick car having held a number of lap records in its day and now offers numerous options for competition. With a good period history, there is always the prospect of gaining historic papers offering access to a number of glamorous International events or it could happily be used as a reliable, much admired, weekend club racer.

1980 Ford Capri Grp 1

Lot # 103 (Sale Order: 3 of 32)      

In the early 1970s, the mantle of maintaining Ford's domination in European Saloon Car Racing was passed from the Escort to the Capri. The models chosen to disrupt the well-laid plans of Alfa Romeo and BMW in the ETCC were respectively the RS2600 (Cologne V6) and RS3100 (Essex V6), and the Capri quickly proved that it was the car to have in those early years. Endurance races like the Nurburgring 1000KMS and the Spa 24hr race were won by specially prepared 3 litre Capris driven by the likes of Jochen Mass and Hans Stuck and European Touring Car Championships were won in 1971 and 1972 by the 2.6 cars. In 1973, prior to the arrival the following year of the redesigned Mk.2, Ford UK decided to produce a limited number of the formidable RS3100, a very quick saloon car, in period, with a top speed of nearly 130 mph in 'standard' form. The Capri had shown its mettle and Ford stayed with its evolution right through to the Mk. 3 and all the time the Capri kept delivering all over Europe with victory after victory.Although running exotic Group 2 specifications in the European Touring Car Championship, the majority of the model's success was in Group1 racing, a class that catered for standard-looking cars with strict limits as to modifications, which made this level of racing both financially accessible and highly competitive. All the great names got involved with the amazing Capri,including Tom Walkinshaw, Gerry Marshall, Barry 'Whizzo' Williams, Stuart Graham, Andy Rouse, Gordon Spice, and Vince Woodman. The battles that raged were the stuff of legends and the Capri just kept on delivering.This particular Group 1 Capri was built in early 1980 by George Houthuyzen for the ‘Toerwagen Kampioenschap' and was raced in period in the Netherlands before being sold in 1982 to Peter Elgaard in Denmark who campaigned it for a couple of seasons in the Danish national series. It was subsequently traded in 1986 for a Group 'A' Volvo 240 in Sweden. Currently in very original condition, having not raced or turned a wheel in anger for over 30 years, this car may well present an ideal entry opportunity for the ever expanding and popular Goodwood Members Meeting in years to come. Given the popularity of this event ( particularly the Gerry Marshall Trophy) and other Historic Group 1 championships, the real difficulty is finding an original Capri with an established period competition history. This car therefore, is an excellent base for an exciting project to create an eligible Capri racer for future events such as Goodwood and the Silverstone Classic. With the sensible guide price reflecting the level of commissioning required, what a perfect and rare opportunity to get involved in the developing Group 1 racing scene.

1967 Lotus Elan +2

Lot # 104 (Sale Order: 4 of 32)      

The Lotus Elan+2 was introduced in 1967 with a longer wheelbase and two more rear seats than the original Elan. It was advertised ... 'for the discerning motorist who requires the renowned Lotus road holding and performance coupled to an attractive two plus two body'.The Elan+2 embodied the Lotus spirit: it was a fast and agile sports coupé, with very elegant lines and combined the performance and reliability of the original Elan with genuine 2+2 passenger comfort.This car is a road registered race car, having been with the current vendor since August 2011. 'GDS 635F' was first registered in November 1967 and was restored in 2004 as a show car with a new spyder chassis. Four years later it was decided this pretty little Elan should be converted to a racing car and has since raced between 2012-2015 in the Classic Sports Car Club "Swinging Sixties" series. In 2013/14, the car was also entered in the ever competitive Bentley Drivers Club handicap races at Silverstone and was a Class winner in the ACOC Sprint at Goodwood in 2012. The vendor of this pretty little car also took part in the 2012 Lotus Élan 50th Anniversary races at Brands Hatch and Donington Park, running reliably and quickly. The vendor has supplied detailed information on the spec of the car and some highlights are presented below as follows. The bodyshell is finished in French blue with removable strips and roundels and the interior has been stripped out and with lightened boot, bonnet and doors the total weight is believed to be around 775kg.A Tillett B6 F FIA seat and OMP FIA 6 point harness (all in date) and the full roll cage was done by Kelvedon Lotus/Kelsport in March 2012 including seat and seat belt anchorages. There is also a plumbed in fire extinguisher and FIA cut-out switch, with both inside and exterior pull handles.The Spyder chassis has tubular negative camber wishbones and AVO Shock absorbers with spare AVO and Tony Thompson sets if preferred. The engine now produces 166 BHP on Mass Rolling Road and similar figures have also been produced on Pete Baldwin Rolling Road (206 engine bhp) with the Dyno and build sheets available. The engine was rebuilt in mid-2013 with a new American Ford Racing cast block decked and bored to suit the detailed build. All machining and head building was completed by Anglian Engines, put together by ‘J & A Kit and Classic Car' and completely re-fettled (rings, shells right through top and bottom, gaskets, seals, valves re-cut, head re-shimmed, new springs and buckets, new clutch plate) in the winter 2014/15 ready for the forthcoming season.Some spares are also supplied with the car, including front pads, 4 wheels & tyres, caliper seals, water pump & belts etc..   This well prepared Elan offers amazing value for someone wishing a low-cost entry into motorsport with a marque that is historically synonymous with small, light, quick sports cars.  Normal 0 false false false EN-GB JA X-NONE <w:LsdException Locked="false" Priority="47" Name="Grid Table 2

**Regretfully Withdrawn**1988 Porsche Samson Kremer RS Replica

Lot # 105 (Sale Order: 5 of 32)      

The defining 911 of its era, the Carrera 2.7 RS was created to comply with homologation requirements for Group 4 racing and all 500 examples of the initial production run were sold within a week of the car's international debut at the 1972 Paris Show. As a design, it was an object lesson in economy of purpose and, with its appropriately fat tyres and duck-tail spoiler was the classic balance of form and function. It was the first 911 to bear the RS moniker and, for many, it continues to epitomise the essence of the 911.This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 has been modified by marque specialist 'Nur Motorsport' to replicate the look of the famous Kremer Samson IROC 1974 Porsche Carrera RS's. The whole process from initial preparation of the donor shell to the fitting of the final, period correct details to produce this amazing replica has been charted photographically in a complete and detailed record.The donor car had only been enjoyed by two previous owners and had a complete service history so was the ideal basis for this conversion. The shell was built up using RSR steel arches and the rest of the bodywork was prepared with the look of the seventies racer in mind. The engine was fitted with EFI and was fully checked over and the only modifications to maintain driveability were exhausts, the intake and a remap. A G50 gearbox was fitted as they are stronger and a bit easier to live with and the brakes were converted to four-pot calipers with period 930 discs. The OMP roll cage is a six point fixing helping to stiffen the chassis and improve handling. The roof and bonnet are Kevlar Nur Motorsport items and the RS signature engine cover and spoiler are GRP. The car is MoT'd until 29-7-2016.The overall result of the extensive work carried out is a very special ‘backdate', with the evocative look of the ‘74 IROC RS's but with a modern driving feel. The best of both worlds at a very enticing guide.

2008 Morgan Roadster 3.0 V6

Lot # 106 (Sale Order: 6 of 32)      

The AR Motorsport Morgan Challenge is a UK one-make championship for racing Morgans and is supported by the Morgan Motor Company and Yokohama tyres. The series is multi-class and caters for V8s, the older 4-cylinder cars and the more modern V6 Roadsters. Known for well-supported grids and close racing and there are plans for a 10-race championship in 2016.This is a full-race car built from a bare chassis by Richard Thorne Classic Cars in 2008, with great attention to weight saving to full class B specification for the Aero Racing Morgan Challenge. Class B allows considerable modifications from the standard Roadster Lightweight, including 4-wheel disc brakes vented at the front, 7"x 16" Image wheels with 225/50VR16 Yokoharma tyres, modified 3 litre Ford V6, with bespoke ECU, race cams, and big bore manifolds giving circa 280BHP at 7000RPM.This successful car has won two Morgan Challenge Races outright, beating all the class A cars in the process (the only class B Roadster to do so) and will be highly competitive again in the right hands. Regularly campaigned by her current owner for the past 3 seasons in this championship, the car was a frequent points scorer and very competitive, but fortuitously has never had an accident or suffered any damage. It was resprayed three years ago and was recently fitted with a new back axle. There is a file with the car with lots of invoices detailing race-prep and maintenance and in addition, lots of photos, race results and set-up information.This well-sorted racing Morgan has always been maintained with no expense spared ensuring that it's fast and reliable. We understand that it's great fun to drive with neutral handling, turns in well and inspires confidence in the first couple of laps when it all gets a bit 'cosy'.Recently serviced and with new pads all round, this desirable, competitive Morgan is ready to race, or alternatively with its two Tillet race seats and full harnesses, would make a fast and exciting, value for money track-day car. Just a turn of the key with no fuss is all that's needed to start the Ford V6 which sounds amazing but is well below the 105db restrictions.Don't delay- the season's just round the corner.

1954 Austin A30 Speedwell

Lot # 107 (Sale Order: 7 of 32)      

The Austin A30 'Speedwell' was raced successfully in period by the Formula One twice World Champion, the late and legendary Graham Hill. This car was built under guidance of Goodwood saloon expert Rae Davis as a nod to that original car replicating both the colour scheme and look of the original car, as well as the results on the track.This immaculate and special car was built from a lightweight seam welded shell and features a T45 welded in FIA roll cage, special front springs and roll bar with Armstrong adjustable Lever shock absorbers by Pete Cauldwell of Worldwide Imports. The rear features special springs with an 'A' frame anti-tramp bar and adjustable Lever shock absorbers as well as EN40 steel half shafts, double bearing hubs and a limited slip differential. The new 'lightweight' interior features a a period Stack dashboard and instruments, with belts and seat all in date.The unique engine is prepared and hand built by none other than Neil Brown of Neil Brown Engineering, the man responsible for the build and development of the Works Honda engines in the current BTCC incorporating new parts from MED and Swiftune.Owned and more recently raced by the legendary Gordon Shedden, twice British Touring Car Champion and all round nice guy, 'Flash' has too many commitments in 2016 to race this particular car, which now represents a unique opportunity to acquire a famous and very successful Goodwood friendly saloon. Run and prepared by the famous Neal family owned 'Team Dynamics', who are responsible for the running of the Honda Works cars in the current BTCC. The car is 'on the button' and offered absolutely ready to race and win, and is eligible for numerous series - such as the HRDC series for 1950's cars, and is also a highly likely invitee for the next 1950's St. Mary's Trophy grid at the Goodwood Revival.Uniquely, the new owner will also benefit from a test day ‘handover' if required from Team Dynamics and Flash.

1965 Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato

Lot # 108 (Sale Order: 8 of 32)      

The most outrageous yet least acknowledged Lancia Zagato was the 1.8 litre Flavia. Designed by Ercole Spada, Zagato's main man of the era, it possessed some earlier Zagato styling cues, such as the windows into the roofline, which echoed the Panoramic Fiats of the early fifties. It was streamlined, but Zagato did not work with a wind tunnel, they worked by feel, drew the car up on a full sized board and then started hammering. Once on the road, it was tested with the traditional tuft-of-cloth method. Prior to the construction of a larger facility in the late 1960s, Zagato worked primarily in aluminum, and the quest for saving weight carried over into the interior and even the paint which was applied sparingly, in two or three very thin coats. The interiors were also thin, particularly the vinyl, dashboards were hammered out of slim aluminum, and often not covered with anything but crackle finish paint.This Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato is much like all the other 576 aluminum body over steel frame coupés built, however, it's one of just 25 RHD models produced. Converted into a road /rally car by marque specialist Richard Thorne in the early 1990s, the car was used sparingly, and is thought to have been virtually unused for some 10 years as detailed in the MoT history which shows little to no use during this time.It was then purchased by the previous owner in 2002 who, again, had Richard Thorne convert it, this time to a full- race circuit car. A number of modifications were carried out, including a fully race prepared engine, suspension, and running gear, and the car is accompanied by numerous invoices and history, detailing the extent of the race preparations/adaptations.The car raced for approximately 3 seasons with the HSCC and supporting race records are present along with an FIA build specification and an old set of HTP papers dated 2004 which enabled the car to race at Spa in 2004/2005. However, a con-rod decided to make a bid for freedom through the side of the block at the Spa 6 hours in 2005. After this, it sat sadly waiting for repair in France until the owner decided to sell to the current owner to fund further projects. The car returned to the UK, where 'Omnicron', Lancia specialists were tasked with sourcing a new block and rebuilding the engine along with a full recommission. Subsequent rolling road tests produced 139 bhp at the flywheel and 140ftlb torque.After extensive works, the Flavia returned to the Croft circuit in 2014, racing with the Classic Touring Car Club in pre-66. The car performed well, even in novice hands and had two further outings that season at Cadwell and Brands Hatch. After developing a charging fault, the dyno and regulator were rebuilt and a new electronic distributor was fitted.The car has not raced since 2014 due to the owner acquiring a new race car for the 2015/16 seasons. At the end of 2015, it was serviced and recommissioned for use in 2016 and, as a result, the seat, belts and extinguisher are all in date. The car also has 4 Dunlop tyres that we are told have covered nominal mileage and are scrubbed in nicely, along with 4 virtually new Yokohamas and a total of 9 alloy rims. Furthermore this little Zagato comes with a spare 2-litre engine and all the original glass which has been substituted with a lighter polycarbonate.Ready to race, the car could potentially be returned to FIA specification at additional cost should one desire, as well as being improved further aesthetically to really make it a show stopper on the track and in the pits.Eligible for a range of popular series, this car is a great way to stand out from the crowd this season..

1986 Ferrari 328 GTB

Lot # 109 (Sale Order: 9 of 32)      

The Ferrari 328 first appeared in 1985 as the successor to the 308. It featured a normally aspirated 3.2 V8 engine and very handsome styling and became instantly popular, with Ferrari going on to produce 7,400 variants worldwide during the production run which finished late in 1989. Now regarded as a true design classic, this ultimate 270 bhp sports car of the day reached 0 - 60 in 5.5 seconds and went to a top speed of 166mph. This particular 328GTB, affectionately known as "Rosie", is very well-known in Ferrari racing circles in the UK, having entered 70 races in the Maranello Ferrari Challenge. Driven by Mortimer and Shaw, the car clocked up 28 fastest laps, and was the Championship Class winner 3 times as well as being runner-up 3 times. This success continued in the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic, once again scoring many fastest laps and class and outright wins, principally in the hands of David Tomlin. In 2011, "Rosie" was subject to a full ground-up rebuild carried out by Simon Furlonger, uprating the car from Group 3 to Group 4 of the Pirelli Ferrari Formula Classic series, with a heated screen, new competition wiring loom, Ohlins 2-way dampers and springs, uprated competition brakes and a full engine rebuild. The car was further uprated with twin tanks to enable participation in longer races such as Intermarque. Most recently in January 2016, the engine was again rebuilt including new shells and piston rings. The competition wiring loom was new in 2011, and as the car has seen little action in the interim years, this is also in good condition. Jump into the race seat and you are greeted with black Alcantara door cards and dashboard - a must for any serious racer! All of the original trim is available with the car should the new owner wish to return the car to a more comfortable specification. The bodywork and paintwork are said to be in very good condition. Due to our vendor's commitments in other forms of historic motorsport, the car has effectively remained unused for several years and with a recent refresh by RW Racing Services, it can accurately be described as in very good condition.

2006 Radical 'SR3'

Lot # 110 (Sale Order: 10 of 32)      

You don't call your cars Radical unless you offer something innovative and unique, and that was exactly the philosophy of company founders Mick Hyde and Phil Abbott 17 years ago. They weren't about to build ‘just another sports car', their approach was revolutionary and together they created a whole new niche in the world of motorsport.The iconic Clubsport model established the company in 1997 and is still raced with enthusiasm all around the world. Its success was instantaneous and the full grids soon led to developments, the Prosport added wings, more power and wider slicks, but the team at Radical were never going to rest on their laurels. In 2002, they launched the SR3, a genuine two-seater, road-legal track car, that wowed both the press and track drivers all over the world. It has become Radical's most popular model to date and was soon followed by the compact SR4, a small, light and practical two-seater that proved to be the perfect successor to the original Clubsport.Presented here is an immaculate 2006 Radical SR3. Although dated 06, the car has recently had a very detailed and excellent quality rebuild and has spent most of its life in storage so has seen very little use. It's powered by a sealed RPE engine/gearbox with 1 hour running on the unit (1500 Injection). This slick racer also has an upgraded K8 clutch with same running time as above.This SR3 also enjoys a brand new late spec exhaust, fuel pump, master cylinders, fresh bearings all round, all suspension and brakes serviced and replaced and an ATL Bag type fuel tank fitted. As well as being freshly rebuilt, it has also been upgraded with a few extras such as the much improved 24V starting system and hot climate cooling kit with bigger radiator. The car also has new driver and passenger belts, as well as a brand new fire system and there is a small spares package which will be included with the car.This car was bought new in Dubai for use at the Autodrome but has since only been used for a few test days before shipping to the UK. Described to us as 'on the button' what an attractive proposition for the adrenaline junkies out there.

1987 Ford Sierra RS500 'Grp A'

Lot # 111 (Sale Order: 11 of 32)      

The 1980s provided some fantastic Touring Car racing as the manufacturer's teams put serious effort into trying to win races with their Group A spec cars built to a very high standard with serious budgets to match. The Sierra Cosworth comfortably exceeded Ford's wishes, and  went on to become one of the most successful Touring Car racers of all time, winning races all over the world.Chassis '0288' has been fully restored to a very high standard at Ian Gwinn's workshops approximately 5 years ago and since then it's undergone another full mechanical restoration and further body improvements whilst in the new ownership of Jim Whelan. Renowned RS500 expert, Paul Linfoot, comments that this RS500 race car, in its current 'Icom' livery, is in 'outstanding mechanical and body condition having been maintained and lovingly restored with no expense spared. To replace a car in its condition would be extremely difficult to find anywhere in the world,' in Paul's opinion. Our current vendor, a very fast and passionate  racer, bought the car 18 months ago and has loved his time in the car competing at various high profile events. During this winter, the engine has been fully rebuilt by Dave Hill, formally of Mountune. This, effectively new, engine now only has dyno time on it and is ready to go. Our vendor spent £5,000 on an Ohlins upgrade, and the car also runs its Getrag gearbox as raced at Macau in period. There are now fantastic opportunities to race these cars around Europe at great circuits with thrilling competition and experience Group A Touring Cars at their very best.

2009 Audi R8 V8 'CR8'

Lot # 112 (Sale Order: 12 of 32)      

Creventic BV built the first race-orientated Audi R8, called the Creventic CR8, even before the German carmaker themselves unveiled the GT3 version of the R8. The Creventic Audi R8 CR8 is powered by a 4163cc V8 engine that outputs 440 hp at 8000 rpm and 445 Nm of torque. The engine is coupled with a 6-speed transmission and the Dutch company only made two of these bespoke cars. After a development and test period of about 18 months, the goal was to build a fantastic race version of the Audi R8 with the performance of a Porsche GT3 Carrera Cup car, and with this car, this goal appears to have been achieved. The car incorporates a complete carbon bodyshell including a carbon wing a carbon splitter, carbon floor and carbon diffuser all decreasing weight but increasing the car's drivability. The vendor reports that various professional drivers, who've driven this car over the years, say that it's really tight to drive and inspires confidence. It's equipped with 18inch BBS racing rims, carbon interior, AIM dash and a data logger, a central wheel nut system a 120 Litre FIA tank and a central race radiator.This Audi R8 racer is an ideal endurance car with the big Brembo discs coupled with good brake cooling and pads that we are told could last for 24 hours, driven appropriately. It fits very well in the class SP2-GT3A or SP3 class at the various Creventic rounds plus, we're informed, GT Cup, Britcar, VLN and GT Open could also be options. Offered with a spares package and a whole spare engine included in the price, this Lot is a comprehensive package.

1970 BMW 2002 Tii Group 2 Touring Car

Lot # 113 (Sale Order: 13 of 32)      

As sales climbed for BMW throughout the 1960s across Europe, their attention started to focus on Motorsport and their desire to create "The Ultimate Driving Machine". The first model to reflect this was the 2002, introduced in 1968 and their high-performance version, the 2002 Tii, quickly followed in 1970 with a more powerful engine giving 120bhp, a 5-speed gearbox and uprated suspension and brakes.Originally built and prepared by Ian Macdonald as a Group I Touring car, this car first raced in 2011/2012 with a successful father/son combination, before being acquired by our vendor and more recently upgraded to full Group II specification.The lightened and seam welded shell has an FIA cage, as well as period wheel arch extensions covering the correct honeycomb split rims and slick tyres. All instrumentation is Smiths as it would have been, and the car looks the part of an ultimate BMW period saloon racer from the 1970s.The attention to detail continues under the bonnet, where a new Lester Owen built 2 litre engine is fitted, dyno tested at 240bhp (with dyno sheet), a rebuilt 5-speed gearbox, new limited slip differential, new steel race exhaust and manifold, new Group II discs and calipers, new Bilstein dampers and suspension, adjustable front and rear roll bars and adjustable camber plates.Weighing in at just over 790Kgs, and costing over £80k to convert from Group I to Group II spec, this car is sensibly guided to sell and race very competitively today.

1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione Group A 'Jolly Club' Replica

Lot # 114 (Sale Order: 14 of 32)      

Few cars encapsulate the drama and excitement of World Championship rallying more effectively than the Group A Lancia Delta HF Integrale. From its introduction as a replacement for the Group B cars in the 1987 WRC to the final year of competition in 1993, the Lancia Delta reigned supreme, taking 46 world championship rally wins, and claiming the Constructors Championship for Lancia a record six times back to back.Four driver's titles went to Delta pilots - two for Juha Kankkunen and two for Miki Biasion - with WRC legends Didier Auriol and Markku Alén also taking wins for the Lancia works team. When Lancia management decided to withdraw from WRC in 1991, they handed the Delta's reins to an Italian squad: the historic ‘Jolly Club'. Famous for its association with the Group B Lancia 037s in 'Titop' livery, Jolly Club would run the Delta in its ultimate incarnation: Integrale Evolution. The Delta HF Integrale "Evoluzione" made its debut on the 1992 Monte Carlo Rally. Featuring a stiffer chassis, wider wheel arches, bigger wheels and brakes, improved suspension and aerodynamics and a more powerful engine, the Evoluzione was a big step up on the model it replaced. In 1993, Carlos Sainz and long-time co-driver Luis Moya came to the Lancia team. The partnership created a legend: the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione Repsol.Built from a well preserved Delta Integrale imported into the UK in 2000, the car seen here is a fantastic reproduction of the Jolly Club Repsol Integrale rallied by Sainz and Moya for the 1993 WRC season. Constructed using many rare and original works parts, and finished in the iconic and striking reproduction paint scheme (not vinyl) measured carefully from El Matador's original works car, this Delta is guaranteed to stop traffic wherever it arrives.This car is not all about 'show': it has more than enough 'go' to underscore its visual impact. The full Group A engine with correct Abarth intercooler and airbox produces 400 bhp, controlled by a MoTeC M800 ECU through a choice of maps. Twin master cylinders manage Alcon brakes with a dash-mounted adjuster and hydraulic handbrake. The myriad works parts used on this Delta include everything from the fuel tank and works rear firewall, alloy radiator and Abarth heater box to the Abarth roof vent: even the spare wheel clamp is a Lancia works item. Kevlar sump and diff guards are fitted, with original Speedline wheels carrying carbon brake cooling discs. A carbon dash panel with digital display also features an Abarth boost gauge.Sitting in the driver's seat, one is surrounded by period detail. Custom-made replica seats with Sabelt harnesses continue the Repsol theme, while the rainbow door cards and manual window regulators are correct for the Delta's lightweight doors. A Terratrip navigation system is installed, with full intercom and fire suppression systems. A detachable Momo steering wheel, push button start and emergency cut-off switches are also fitted.From the works lamp pod to the tubular diff carrier and the UK ‘Torino'-style registration number, this painstaking Jolly Club Delta replica has taken more than three years to create, with no expense spared. The Integrale is an approved participant in Italian Historic Lancia Club events and was signed at one such event by Markku Alén.This exceptional Group A Integrale Evolution replica would be perfect for the growing number of rally tribute events, such as the San Marino Rallylegend, Eifel Rally or Slowly Sideways gatherings. While the car does not currently hold an FIA HTP or MSA Logbook, it would be possible to bring the Integrale to this logical conclusion by incorporating a number of changes, rendering it eligible for FIA historic events of the future. In order to obtain the MSA papers and comply with the regulations, should you wish to, we are informed that the car will need a number of minor changes including the necessary restrictor, new seats and belts.With 'proper' rally cars now changing hands for millions of euros and works parts becoming almost impossible to find, now is the time to buy a car like this.

1966 FIA Morris Mini Cooper S MK1

Lot # 116 (Sale Order: 16 of 32)      

The Mini Cooper has been a mainstay of the Motorsport scene around the world for over fifty years. From enthralling battles with much larger competition in period, to latter day giant-killing performances in Historic Touring Cars, the Mini Cooper represented (and still represents) an opportunity to compete at high levels for privateers with cars not far removed from the works entrants, enhanced by a plethora of emerging tuning companies and race/rally parts. Driven by names such as Hopkirk, ‘Whizzo' Williams and ‘Smokin' John Rhodes, the Mini Cooper firmly cemented its place in motorsport folklore.This original UK, RHD, 1293 Mk.1 Cooper 'S' has resided in one family since 1990 in the Netherlands and has won the European FIA Historic Touring car championship twice as well as numerous other notable races.

2000 Tatuus Formula Renault - Kimi Raikkonen Championship Winning Car

Lot # 117 (Sale Order: 17 of 32)      

Tatuus is an Italian chassis manufacturer founded by Artico Sandona in 1980 initially building single-seat racing cars for the 500cc and 1000cc Formula Monza championship. Around 15 of these early cars were built with Sandona competing in Formula Monza and Luca Melgrati achieving the first success for the team by winning the Formula Panda Monza championship with Sandona finishing second. Tatuus became the team and chassis to beat and further success followed with Melgrati winning the championship again in 1985 and 1986. For the 1988 season, the Italian manufacturer was contracted to construct the cars for the new Formula König. These cars were proper space-framed framed, slicks and wings racecars and the first season was won by a certain young, soon to be famous, Michael Schumacher. However, the marque's place in motor racing history was ensured when Renault Sport entrusted Tatuus with the construction and development of their new carbon-fibre Formula Renault 2000 and the company would eventually build around 930 of these cars.Built in 2000, this particular example was purchased by Manor Motorsport, who contested the British Formula Renault Championship with (later to be Formula One World Champion) Kimi Raikkonen as their new young driver. He proved unstoppable, winning seven out of ten events in Formula Renault UK, resulting in him winning that Championship is this very car. This was to prove the start of his Formula 1 career as, on the basis of these results, Peter Sauber gave the Finn a test with the Sauber Formula One team in September 2000 at Mugello. Further tests followed in Jerez and Barcelona, leading to Sauber signing Räikkönen for the 2001 season. Despite some critics (including FIA president Max Mosley) voicing concerns over granting an F1 Super Licence to such an inexperienced driver (Räikkönen had only ever completed 23 car races) he was nevertheless granted his licence and scored a championship point on his debut at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix. He enjoyed an impressive first year, achieving four points-scoring finishes and eight top eight places. With a year-end tally of nine points and a further handful from his team-mate Nick Heidfeld, Sauber achieved their best ever result of fourth in the constructors' championship.Following its success this car was then campaigned by Leighton Walker before being replaced in 2002. It was then laid up until in 2005 when Manor Motorsport rebuilt the monocoque with its original engine and gearbox. This is a great chance to purchase a piece of British motor racing history, with the impeccable provenance of being the car that started the career of a World Champion.

1975 FIA Group 2 Ford Escort BDG Zakspeed Replica

Lot # 118 (Sale Order: 18 of 32)      

Although a Formula One constructor from 1985-89, Zakspeed is better known for its FIA Group 2 Escorts and its Group 5 Capris. They did, however, enter seventy-four Grand Prix and were unique at one stage producing an F1 car with their own chassis and engine; only Ferrari had the same in-house facility. Founded by Erich Zakowski in 1968, they were actively involved in many forms of motorsport and employed many well-known drivers - Klaus Ludwig, Manfred Winkelhock, Jonathan Palmer, Martin Brundle and Bernd Schneider all drove Zakspeeds from F1 to Touring Cars.Built and prepared by Mark Wright Motorsport, this FIA Escort BDG is well regarded and accepted as a fully developed front running historic racer. It is engineered and finished to a very high standard in its re-created form as the famous Europa-Mobel Zakspeed Escort with full MSA and HTP papers.The specification includes an all-alloy Ford 2.0 BDG with custom profile cams, full race-spec head, steel bottom end, dry sump, Weber 50 carburettors, tubular manifold and a race exhaust system. Built by Tracksport, the gearbox is a five-speed Type 9 incorporating special roller bearings and straight cut gears and the rear axle has a special fully floating 4.4 gripper type differential. The front suspension is fully rose-jointed with coil-over damping, alloy hubs and adjustable top mounts. The rear suspension is a four linkage set up 'A' frame with top links and inboard coil-overs. It has 'Monte Carlo' discs all round with a biased pedal box and the car sits on split rim 15'' Compomotives, 10"inch fronts and 13'' rears, wearing Avon slicks. It's fitted with a new moulded front spoiler and the car is supplied with a spare and the original mould to deal with the inevitable. The rebuild, in preparation for the 2016 season has now been completed and included the engine, alloy gearbox, back axle and the shock-absorbers. The seat, belts and fire extinguisher are all in date and ready for the season. The vendor is happy to provide detailed engineering information and offer advice on set-ups.This Escort holds numerous lap records, fastest laps and has been piloted to a number of overall race wins powered by its very reliable, John Smirthwaite built, 265bhp Ford BDG. The car is a Masters Historic Grp2 Championship winner, HSCC Supertourers class winner and finished a very close third in the closed wheel HSCC support race to the Spa 6 Hours last year.This is possibly the fastest Group 2 Escort available today, and having just had a 2016 'turn key' refresh, this proven racer represents a great opportunity, for a realistic budget, to clamber onto the top step of the podium at a number of prestigious Historic Saloon Car events.

** REGRETFULLY WITHDRAWN ** 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Split Window Coupe

Lot # 119 (Sale Order: 19 of 32)      

In 1963, Chevrolet introduced the (C2) Corvette Stingray. It was one of the most exciting introductions ever, but the Stingray's roots actually went back to 1956. In a reversal of the norm, a racing car-the Corvette SS, was the basis for the new road car and the genesis was plain to see. Both Fangio and Moss praised the race cars performance and predicted great things for Chevrolet's infant racing program. The production Stingray, in particular the '63 'split rear screen', is one the most collectable cars of all time.Offered here is a 1963 Corvette Stingray FIA / HTP racer, well known in racing circles and a Goodwood favourite. It was purchased from Fred Meuller in 2008 by our vendor who travelled to America to inspect the Corvette. It was presented in it’s Alto Racing livery and the history file contained various references to its early race history.  Since its arrival in the UK, this Stingray has been a multiple Goodwood RAC TT entrant proving reliable and competitive. Built by Steve Warrior, the 'small block' engine produces 481bhp and the history file contains a number of dyno sheets showing outputs at various settings. Over the last few years, it has benefitted from thorough preparation and knowledgeable input from its renowned historic race car owner/driver. Capable of lapping Goodwood in under 1minute 30 seconds, the Corvette is a very competitive prospect at a fraction of the usual costs and is a well-sorted, reliable race car. This Corvette has great presence, and with its original orange livery and period graphics brings a lot of individuality to the grid, ensuring that the car is likely to get asked back. The grey chassis is in great condition and the GRP bodywork is still very sharp. Remarkably, it's also road registered making ‘EuropeanTours' and other road events an option!This FIA / HTP papered, Corvette Stingray is excellent value, offering a fantastic passport into some very special events, and is set apart by having a genuine period race history.

2008 Dodge Viper GT3

Lot # 120 (Sale Order: 20 of 32)      

GT3 racing is fabulous, but running at the 'front end' with so many competitive cars has now become very expensive in terms of the initial team set up and race by race running costs. Whilst thrilling to drive and impressive to listen to and look at, the current crop of cars are becoming ever more complex and costly to run, with life on the major units such as the engine and gearboxes becoming shorter and the numbers getting bigger. Sadly, these large initial costs may well result in fewer and fewer people having the  privilege to experience the thrill of racing GT3 cars.Thankfully however, Silverstone Auctions are very happy to offer a well proven and refined 2008 Dodge Viper GT3 that is accompanied by a truly comprehensive spares package including a spare engine with 0 miles on the unit. What makes this staggering, is that the car with the additional engine and a large quantity of spares is being offered at a guide price of £25-£30k. Whilst, yes this is not a current GT3 car, but with those current spec cars fetching £300k plus before spares and actual running costs, what better chance for a new team to 'dip a toe in the water' of this ever popular and iconic racing scene.Highly respected professional racing driver, Aaron Scott, has developed and raced this car with rapid gentleman driver/owner, Craig Wilkins, for the last five seasons in both British GT and Dutch Supercar. The car's specification has evolved throughout and it's been kept updated and professionally maintained by Midlands based 'GT3 Racing' regardless of cost.The 8.4-litre engine boasts Motec engine management (with traction control) and a full aero spec Motorsport wiring loom, Bosch Motorsport adjustable ABS, AP racing brakes and an 'Emco' sequential gearbox.The car was a race winner in British GT during the 2009 season, and went on to win the Britcar Endurance Championship in 2011. Since then it has been a regular front runner in the Dutch Supercar series, finishing second in class during 2014.Eligible for GT Cup, Britcar, V de V and Dutch Supercar, it has to be one of the best value GT3 cars available to buy today and a great opportunity to get involved in 'proper' motor racing.

2000 Mercedes Rally Transporter/Motorhome

Lot # 121 (Sale Order: 21 of 32)      

Given the time and budget requirements needed to commit to a season's competitive racing or rallying, it makes a lot of sense to utilise the vehicle transporter as crew accommodation. That's exactly what our vendor, the rallying legend and four-time British Historic rally champion David Stokes, has thought of with this vehicle. David needed to safely and securely transport his Mk 1 Escort around the country, so why not utilise the transporter as a Motorhome as well, as an all-purpose unit in fact, to save on those ever increasing hotel room and running costs. Having spoken to David, he is confident that he saves over £1,000 a week on hotel and restaurant bills when he goes away for a week's rallying using this vehicle. The lorry is a Mercedes Atego 1823 with 374,821 kms on the clock and four former keepers since April 2000. David has owned the vehicle for 6 years and has covered approx 64,000 kms in that time. His Mark 1 Ford Escort fits nicely in the back of the lorry, using a tail lift which also then becomes the back door. The vehicle has been well maintained and looked after with all bills and receipts kept. In the last two or three years, it's had some work carried out including new brake valves, hydraulic brake lines for the gearbox, new drag links, track rod ends and two new ends on the anti-roll bar have been fitted. David uses this vehicle between 12 to 16 times a year for various events and it has never let him down. The living section, as you would expect, has also received meticulous attention and been fitted with a new water pump, water tank and heater, carbon leisure batteries, full-size refrigerator, full-size cooker and a microwave. Six people can comfortably sleep in this vehicle, 4 singles and a five foot double bed are included meaning the whole team can race eat and sleep all in one vehicle. Recently fitted with 6 new tyres, this multi-purpose Mercedes looks like a very sensible option as you gear up for the new season. This vehicle does have a tacho, and will therefore require an HGV licence to operate, but it might be worth contacting the DVLA to enquire about registering it as a motorhome.

1963 Fiat 850TC Abarth (Replica) Race Car

Lot # 124 (Sale Order: 24 of 32)      

Introduced in 1955 and produced until 1969, the Fiat 600 was the marque's first rear-engine car.It was built along with the 600 two-door sedan and the innovative Multipla, which predated the minivan by some 30 years. Whilst outwardly small and riding on a wheelbase just shy of 80 inches, the 600 provided remarkable passenger and luggage space thanks to its rear-mounted inline four-cylinder engine. The updated 600D debuted in the autumn of 1960 with an enlarged 767cc engine, swivelling vent windows and additional louvres on the engine compartment lid. At the end of 1960, the Fiat-Abarth 850 TC (Turismo Competizione in Italian) was introduced using the Fiat 600 bodyshell and incorporating high-performance upgrades supplied by Abarth. The most obvious of these was the larger front bumper to house the oil cooler matrix, wider wheels & tyres and a larger capacity 847cc engine mounted in the car's tail.This particular example was delivered in 1963 to the USA as a road going, left-hand drive, 'suicide-door' Fiat 600. During its life in the States, it was converted to an Abarth replica with body modifications & an engine upgrade and was raced in the 1970s and 80s around Southern California by the then owner Randy Edwards. The car then crossed the Atlantic and was imported to the UK in 1990, being registered with the DVLA on the 2nd February of that year and granted the registration 'APB 362A'.Invoices during the 1990s from respected specialists Middle Barton Garage show the car was maintained well, before eventually being purchased by our vendor, a husband & wife race team, in February 2010. The car was then recommissioned ready for a full season's racing and has been successfully campaigned in the HRDC 'Touring Greats' Championship in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Numerous class wins and podiums have been achieved with our seasoned racers / vendors.Specification includes: A one-race old Middle Barton Garage prepared A112 1050cc full race engine with further improvements by Throbnozzle Engineering. 40DCNF Weber Carburettors and a 4 into 1 exhaust manifold. Scuderia Topolino close ratio 4-speed gearbox, refreshed by GearTech in 2015. Scuderia Topolino 9/39 ring and pinion and a limited slip differential. Lightened & balanced 600D flywheel modified to take diaphragm clutch pressure plate. Scuderia Topolino Abarth style universal joint drive shafts. Middle Barton Garage 850 front brake disc and master cylinder conversion with Mintex competition pads. Bilstein shock absorbers. Cromodora 13 x 5J wheels shod with Dunlop 450L13 tyres.The cockpit houses a substantial US-style roll cage, correct Fiat 600 rubber mats, period Corbeau seat and a leather steering wheel. Fastidious in their approach, our vendors have completely rewired the car to include an Abarth triple instrument binnacle, modern gauges and SunPro rev counter. Potential buyers should satisfy themselves as to the legality and currency of all the safety equipment in this car.Supplied with an MoT until 20th April, a UK V5c and bundles of paperwork in the history file, this car is eligible for HRDC, HSCC and numerous European race and hill climb series. With other race commitments now taking up the vendor's time, this faithful Abarth replica, nicknamed 'Freddy', is a pocket rocket that can be driven to the circuit & home again and never fails to put a smile on the face of the driver or onlookers alike!

1965 Jaguar S-type

Lot # 125 (Sale Order: 25 of 32)

It was built by Ray Ingman & Dick Bradley and later featured on the childrens' television programme Blue Peter, so the car became known as the 'Blue Peter Car'.Sold in the late 1980s to Colin Thatcher and purchased by our vendor in 1991, it was raced with the JDC and Jaguar Car Club up until 1995, when it was restored by the vendor to race with the JEC Saloon Car Challenge.
