1980 MGB GT

Lot # 626 (Sale Order: 26 of 68)      

This car is a unique MGB GT and was supplied by Kennings Ltd in Derby, however, it's difficult to know exactly when, as no records exist of the date of purchase as the vehicle was never registered when new, although the MG Owner's Club records suggest a build date of 1980. The correct printed form, which was supplied with the car when new, is still present meaning that this MGB can technically still be registered and carries the correct type approval etc. It even has the original driver's handbook present. The MGB GT has always been a good-looking car and this example in gleaming Black with 'Rostyle' wheels and period Orange 'deckchair' upholstery reminds you of the reasons why you simply had to have one at the time. It's obviously not new, but it is new, with not a single nut, bolt, or grommet having been changed from the moment it left the factory.Unique, in the proper sense of the word and, as we often say, "Find another one".

1966 Ford Mustang 289 Notchback

Lot # 627 (Sale Order: 27 of 68)      

This is a remarkable Ford Mustang 289 'Notchback' Auto that has covered just 14,500 miles from new, and drives like it too!Finished in Silver Blue with a two-tone Blue interior, the car was specified with the following options from new:289 V8 AutomaticDeluxe seat belts front and rearPower steeringAir conditioningWire wheel coversPurchased by an elderly lady on 14th July 1966, the Mustang was her pride and joy and she insisted on 'her' car being looked after by main dealers only, until her sad passing in 1969 whereupon her husband then stored the car until 1975. Early service records in the comprehensive history file confirm these events and even the original rear window sticker, owners manual, and warranty card are still present.The next owner was an MCCA judge who knew a 'proper' car when he saw one and stored his new purchase in a purpose-built climate controlled storage facility until 2004 with the car only emerging briefly for shows and Concours events. At this point, it was sold to its next keeper, also an American Mustang enthusiast, who enjoyed the car up until 2015 covering just a further few thousand miles. When this cossetted Mustang arrived in the UK in 2015, it had covered just over 14,000 miles.Today the odometer indicates some 14,500 miles and the car comes with lots of original paperwork, letters from the original owners, the owner's handbook, and significant bills, receipts and paperwork. It starts and drives really well, and looks and presents as a very original car should. Most definitely not to be considered as "just another 289 Notchback", this unmolested car is very special, possibly even unique in Europe, and is a classic example of 'preservation over restoration'.

1960 Austin Healey 3000 'MKI'

Lot # 628 (Sale Order: 28 of 68)      

This car, owned by ultra successful businessman and star of "Dragons Den" - Mr. Theo Paphitis, is a stunning Austin-Healey 3000 MkI rally replica that was restored during 2013/14 and bought by him at the Goodwood Revival Sale in September 2014.It retains much of the 1960 'Works' spec, including the triple SU carburettors on an engine built by Richard Parker Race Engines Ltd. which incorporates a Stage 1 gas-flowed cylinder head; bronze valve guides and unleaded inserts, a tubular exhaust manifold, a rally high lift camshaft, a 9.7:1 compression ratio, forged pistons, a high capacity oil pump, an harmonic crankshaft damper, and an alloy sump for better cooling and enhanced cylinder block stiffness.All this has created an engine giving 185BHP which is connected to a rebuilt and highly specified gearbox and differential. Jig built, the chassis has been fully seam-welded, fully strengthened and bare-metal resprayed, whilst the chassis box sections have also been wax protected.The running gear includes a new improved steering box, uprated competition front disc and rear drum brakes, uprated competition shock absorbers, heavy-duty front stub axles and adjustable telescopic rear shock absorbers with Vredestein tyres sitting on 72-spoke, painted wire wheels.Inside there has been no expense spared either with a black crackle-painted dashboard, new instruments, a long, direct-action gear lever, and finally a 'Works" spec hard top with ventilation scoop. The wiring is all new as are various key electrical components, the front wings feature factory vents, there is a twin-spares boot lid, and a custom made stainless steel side-exit exhaust.All in all a truly stunning car in outstanding condition that is ideal for fast road use, tours or road rallying.

1973 Porsche 911 2.7 R-Gruppe

Lot # 629 (Sale Order: 29 of 68)      

The 1973 Porsche 911 is considered by most knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts to be the single best 911 of all time. This is high praise when you consider the large number of 911 models that have been built over the 50+ years since the model's introduction. The Carrera RS (Renn Sport) is still to this day the benchmark 911, the beautiful lines only being matched by the sheer delight of driving it, with its positive steering, exhilarating sound and linear performance. Built before the American "impact bumper" era and the oil/fuel crisis, the RS had a purity of purpose that was not compromised by outside factors. For this reason, the Porsche RS Replica market has grown enormously and demand is far outstripping the supply of quality machines.Long before the likes of Magnus Walker was on the Porsche scene, there was a group of like-minded enthusiasts in America who were leading the way with 'hot-rod' Porsche 911s. The club was founded in the late nineties by Cris Huergas who had subtly modified his '69 911S. The car attracted the attention of Freeman Thomas who, together with Chris founded R-Gruppe, a club that in turn inspired countless 911 enthusiasts to adopt similar modifications as set out in the factory's Sports Purpose Manual. The R-Gruppe was born, and with it an exclusive invitation-only membership to one of the most elite Porsche clubs in the world.This original 'F-Series' Porsche 911T was built in 1973 and supplied new to the United States in left-hand drive. Finished in Tangerine Orange (paint code #2323) with black leatherette, the car originally came with optional equipment such as Koni shock absorbers, a rear spoiler, and tinted glass all round. After a handful of owners in the US, it was decided by long-term owner Tom Wilkinson in Oregon to create something special and that is precisely what he did. Respected Porsche specialist Jeff Gamroth of Rothsport, Oregon was commissioned to build a free-revving, lightened and balanced 2.7-litre engine based on genuine 1974 7R crankcases. The build spec included 10thou overbored crankcases, reconditioned conrods, new phosphorus bronze valve guides, 36mm throttle bodies, an upgraded oil pump, and a fuel pump to RS-specification. This engine was then married to a 917 transmission with a Quaife LSD and Wevo short-shifter.Bilstein HD dampers front and rear, ARB torsion bars and disc brakes all-round ensure this stunning 911 handles and stops as well as it goes. After being carefully reassembled with weight saving a priority, the car was placed on 911R Fuchs alloys wheels. Open the driver's door and you are greeted with a genuine RS steering wheel, a 10k tachometer and a sharp, functional interior. The glove box has a discreet cigar lighter attachment for modern MP3 players and sat-nav systems. The quality of the paint and doors shuts will impress the moment you lay eyes on this Tangerine wonder.Imported to the UK in April 2013, the car has since been enjoyed by our vendor on European roads trips but is now being reluctantly offered for sale. Supplied with a UK V5c and a MOT until 12th September 2018, a car of this quality would cost a considerable sum of money to build, let alone the cost of the engine build, and hence this car offers an exceptional opportunity to purchase what some might consider the ultimate 'sleeper' 911.

1968 Jaguar E-Type series 2 4.2 Manual

Lot # 630 (Sale Order: 30 of 68)      

One lady owner from new' is a well-used expression that has pervaded the motor trade for decades and refers to the mythical situation where suddenly a car becomes available that has covered very few miles, is in wonderful condition, and has only been lightly used and kept warm and dry by its one lady owner. A rare occurrence, never really happens you might think, but, it's not a myth, it does happen, and this E-Type is the perfect example.According to its accompanying Heritage Certificate, this left-hand drive, Series 2 Jaguar E-Type OTS was originally finished in Pale Primrose Yellow with a Black interior - the colour scheme it pleasingly wears today. Manufactured on 22nd August 1968, it was dispatched to Herrington Motors of Montgomery, New York State and purchased by its first and only private keeper, a Miss Sarah J Hammer. The car was indeed used lightly for the first 17 years covering only 45,000 miles until, in 1985, a long-term illness prevented Miss Hammer from driving her beloved E-Type and it was put into storage. There it was to remain for the next 29 years until its inevitable sale. There is a letter with the car from Miss Hammer in late August 2015 confirming her sole ownership and the mileage of 45,063 at that point.Prior to its return to the UK the car was subject to a mechanical overhaul by Klaus Motors of New York. On its arrival here it was treated to a full service with fresh fluids and fitted with a new brake servo, brake and clutch master cylinders, a stainless steel exhaust, five new period-correct Dunlop tyres, and a new hood and carpets by Aldridge Trimmers.A matching chassis and engine numbers example, the car is accompanied by the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices, handbooks, original wallet with service book, and the original jack and hammer in their bag. The original advisory sticker is still on the speedo and 70's service stickers have been left in place on the B-post. There is also a NOVA document confirming all taxes paid and a current MOT with 'no advisories'.This is indeed a rare opportunity. A 'one lady owner from new' low mileage, Primrose E-Type with perfect provenance and a chance to become its second keeper. Form an orderly queue.

1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

Lot # 631 (Sale Order: 31 of 68)      

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was the first iteration of the SL-Class grand tourer and the fastest production car of its day. Introduced in 1954 as a two-seat coupé with distinctive gull-wing doors, it was later offered as an open roadster. Hugely successful in Europe and across the pond, coupé and roadster production topped out at 3,258 cars. Its successor, the 190 SL, combined superb build quality with understated styling and a not insignificant 104bhp from the 1.9-litre four stroke engine. The 1955 launch of the 190 SL cemented Mercedes-Benz's reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Unsurprisingly most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market and just some 562 were made in right-hand drive. According to the records within the history file, it appears this delightful 190 SL was first registered in the UK on the 1st December 1960 to its first of four former keepers. The car was then sold to a Mr. A. Hodson of Walsall in September 1981. A new adventure for the car was to start when a Mr. Y. Voniatis of London bought it on the 3rd of January 1992. It appears that Mr. Voniatis took the car to Cyprus, one of the few other right-hand drive countries, and kept it there until his return to British shores. Our vendor bought the car on the 1st July 2016 and commissioned Premium Classic Cars to undertake a restoration. This restoration, a photographic record of which is included in the file, included attention to corrosion, electrics, a new radiator, a top end rebuild of the engine, fuel pump and a myriad of other jobs, all of which are invoiced and receipted in the file. Once the mechanical work was complete, attention was then focused on the rest of the car and it was professionally painted in Mercedes Silver, the interior was fully retrimmed in red leather, and a new hood was fitted. A recent addition to the car was the fitting of power steering, making this great little sports car a doddle to manoeuvre around town. It is rare to see one UK right-hand drive at auction, let alone two, and we are pleased to be offering two examples in good order, in a choice of white or silver. KVS 245 is presented to auction with an odometer reading of some 24,000 miles, a reading we cannot warrant but is fairly irrelevant in a car of this age that has been superbly restored. In addition to the history there will be the car's current MOT valid until April 2018.

2006 MV Agusta F4 1000S

Lot # 632 (Sale Order: 32 of 68)      

**Please note estimate has been reduced on this lot** Undoubtedly, the F4 was the motorcycle that launched the resurrection of MV Agusta in 1998. Once described as 'Viewed from any angle it is possibly the most beautiful motorcycle ever produced', it was created by designer Massimo Tamburini (the Michelangelo of the Motorcycle) at CRC (Cagiva Research Centre), following his work on the Ducati 916.The first series-produced F4 1000, the F4 1000 S, was released in 2005 and arrived accompanied by 166-horsepower. The engine is a liquid cooled inline-four cylinder, four-stroke with two overhead camshafts (DOHC), 16 radial valves, electronic multipoint injection, induction discharge electronic ignition, displacing 998cc, and was derived from the 1990 -1992 Ferrari Formula One power unit. F4 owners do tend to wax lyrical and our vendor, the MV's second owner is no exception. He tells us that "The combination of a howling, race-bred engine, God-given handling, and heart-aching beauty, results in one of the most desirable two-wheeled creations of all time. On the open road, nothing short of a six-figure supercar or the Red Arrows will even come close. It'll hit 184 miles an hour in the time it takes to read this paragraph. With the MV Agusta F41000S' beefy 50mm Marzocchi forks, fully adjustable Sachs shock and brilliant six-piston Nissin brakes, the F4 tracks as true a line as any train. It will lean for Italy, with only the rider's ability the limiting factor".With only 261 recorded miles, this showroom fresh example must be one of the most collectible examples of the marque currently available, especially in this stunning blue and silver colour combination with its star motif wheels. Both the bike's owners have found the performance, riding position and race handling of this ultimate track missile too much for their advancing years, however, this has created an excellent opportunity for the serious collector or a rider who can exploit its true potential.

1954 Ariel Red Hunter 350cc

Lot # 633 (Sale Order: 33 of 68)      

The Ariel Red Hunter was the name used for a range of Ariel single-cylinder motorcycles that were designed by the firm's chief designer Val Page in 1932 around an overhead-valve single-cylinder engine that he had developed some six years earlier.The legendary Edward Turner developed the design further with added chrome and it became a popular touring bike. Handling was improved by the addition of rear suspension and telescopic forks and it gained an alloy cylinder head from the 1950s.This 350cc example hails from 1954 which is the first year of the rear suspension and just prior to the valanced mudguards and headlamp hood etc of the 1955 models. It has a simple, classic look and is built to a very high standard. The balance is evident in the centre-stand that works effortlessly with no struggling. The paint is a deep Maroon with chrome detailing and the fuel tank has fluted chrome and gold lines. The engine runs and starts easily. The bike is presented with all the original details from new and has a current V5.
The Ariel Red Hunter was the name used for a range of Ariel single-cylinder motorcycles that were designed by the firm's chief designer Val Page in 1932 around an overhea...mored-valve single-cylinder engine that he had developed some six years earlier.The legendary Edward Turner developed the design further with added chrome and it became a popular touring bike. Handling was improved by the addition of rear suspension and telescopic forks and it gained an alloy cylinder head from the 1950s.This 350cc example hails from 1954 which is the first year of the rear suspension and just prior to the valanced mudguards and headlamp hood etc of the 1955 models. It has a simple, classic look and is built to a very high standard. The balance is evident in the centre-stand that works effortlessly with no struggling. The paint is a deep Maroon with chrome detailing and the fuel tank has fluted chrome and gold lines. The engine runs and starts easily. The bike is presented with all the original details from new and has a current V5.

1959 Moto Guzzi Cardellino 75

Lot # 634 (Sale Order: 34 of 68)      

The Cardellino was a small single-cylinder, 2-stroke motorcycle produced by Moto Guzzi from 1954 until 1962. Two-strokes did not feature in the Moto Guzzi range until after WW2 when the extraordinarily successful Motoleggera 65 put a whole generation of Italians on two wheels. A larger version of this air-cooled rotary-valve single - the 98cc Zigolo - first appeared at the Milan Show in 1953 alongside the Cardellino, which was a development of the original Motoleggera, retaining the 64cc engine of its predecessor while benefiting from a new, stronger frame. Early in 1956, the Cardellino was updated with a telescopic fork and full-width alloy hubs and later that same year a 73cc version was announced. Further developed and enlarged (to 83cc) the Cardellino remained in production until 1965. Like most Italian lightweights, the Cardellino was light-years in advance of its British contemporaries, being reliable, comfortable and endowed with excellent road holding and handling despite rather crude suspension.The Cardellino 75, with the 73cc engine such as the one offered today, was produced in 1959. This Cardellino is very original with a stylish weathered patina befitting its years. The bike runs and selects all gears and with slight attention could be made into a very rideable classic, perfect for Italian events such as the Moto Giro or Milano Taranto. Offered for sale with UK V5C registration.Charming, affordable and so much style even today....We love the little Cardellino!

Ducati 750 Super Sport

Lot # 635 (Sale Order: 35 of 68)      

Announced in 1988, the Ducati Super Sport used a Pantah-based 904cc air-cooled 90° V-twin, two-valve "Desmodue" engine with crankcases derived from the 851 motor. It was mounted in a tubular trellis frame. This Ducati 750 Super Sport has covered just 10,000 miles from new and is clean and honest with all the original paint in exceptionally good order. The bike runs and rides fantastically and will not disappoint. It comes complete with previous MOTs and many bills as well as some original booklets and both sets of keys. Over the last few years, the bike has been lightly used and often kept in pride of place in the vendor's study which, if you have one, will seem completely natural.

2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale

Lot # 636 (Sale Order: 36 of 68)      

The Ferrari F360 was built as a two-seater sports car by Ferrari from 1999 to 2005. The new model had an entirely new all-aluminium space frame chassis which was 40% stiffer than the previous model and 28% lighter. Fitted with a 3.6Ltr V8 engine, coupled to a 6 speed gearbox, the Challenge Stradale model is a low production track day focused car - from the outset, the engineers designed the car with a 20% track day use and 80% road use in mind. The engine generated 426BHP at 8500RPM which gave it a top speed of 190mph, and other improvements included more responsive throttle software, enhanced steering wheel feedback, and a reduction in weight by as much as 95KG. The Challenge Stradale also got Brembo carbon ceramic brakes as standard, shaving 16KG of the curb weight, improved handling, and eliminated brake fade.We are pleased to offer this left-hand drive, 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale finished in Argento Nurburgring Metallic with red/black seats, red painted calipers, radio, full harnesses, full Alcantara dashboard and a two-tone leather steering wheel. We believe the car was supplied new through Tamsen Ferrari Hamberg, Germany, before being exported to Japan. Whilst there, the Japanese service records show it was serviced at 493 km, 2,508km, 2,685km, 4,232 km, 4,562km, 5,241km, 5,339 and finally at 7,943 km where it was serviced at the Ferrari Main Dealer in Tokyo, Rosso Scuderia KK.Our vendor regretted selling his previous Challenge Stradale so much that he bought and imported this car to the UK in 2015 when it had covered 9,883 km. It was immediately sent to marque specialist QV London, where it had a full cam-belt service(9,874), replacement tensioner bearings, new filters, new gearbox and engine oil, and a new front undertray generating an invoice of £2,926. At the end of 2016, the car was sent to respected Ferrari specialist, Simon Furlonger, where an annual service was carried out (10,657km) with a host of other work which included fitting the correct wheels bolts, replacement right-hand side exhaust, replacement correct Stradale grille light panel, replacement radio with correct Ferrari Becker radio/cd, and a new rear undertray. All of these items were replaced with Ferrari parts and engendering another invoice of over £12,000.Supplied with a UK V5c, its tools, book pack, and an MOT until 9th January 2018, this stunning Challenge Stradale is now showing a mere 10,895 km. These amazing cars are often cited by Ferrarista's as one of the most focused and enjoyable driving experiences ever offered by the Italian marque.

1995 Range Rover Classic Vogue

Lot # 637 (Sale Order: 37 of 68)      

There may be newer-looking Range Rovers around these days but that isn't to say that the original first generation version, with its familiar boxy shape, doesn't still have its supporters. The original Spencer King designed Range Rover was one of the British Motor Industry's proudest success stories, and when it went out of production at the end of 1995, it still looked as fresh and forward-thinking as it did back in 1970 when one was chosen to be exhibited in the Louvre as an example of modern sculpture.We are delighted to offer this, two owner, 1995 Range Rover Vogue 'Soft Dash' finished in Niagara Grey Metallic with grey hide and one of the last of the line of the Classic shape. The vehicle was purchased new as a present by the children of Mr. D. Greening in March 1995 who kept the car until 2011 when it was purchased by its only other keeper Mr. Hopkins, making this lovely Range Rover a verified two owner car.To say that the car has been cherished would be an understatement as the condition is exceptional. Mr. Greening had the Range Rover serviced by TH White of Swindon until the factory warranty expired and the next services were carried out by his own garage, FH Greening & Sons in Tewkesbury, along with every MOT test until 2011. After sixteen joyful years of motoring, he sold the car with approximately 50,000 miles on the odometer.The next owner Mr. Hopkins had the car looked after by a local specialist in Dorset and along with regular servicing, he ensured that certain modifications were carried out to a high standard, mainly to the suspension and electrics. A full retrim was undertaken by renowned Range Rover interior specialist Nationwide Trim of Redditch and, all in all, during his ownership some £10,000 was spent keeping the Range Rover in the remarkable condition in which you find it today With winter approaching, this venerable Range Rover offers the practicality and luxury of its modern successors at a marginal percentile of new list prices and is offered to auction with an MOT until November 2018 and some 69,000 miles indicated. It is difficult in today's market to find a good usable Range Rover and with prices ever increasing for Concours examples, this Classic Vogue with its low ownership and caring history represents a rare opportunity.

1993 Porsche 928 S4

Lot # 638 (Sale Order: 38 of 68)      

Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 had an all-alloy V8 which was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, and the galvanised body featured aluminium doors and bonnet, plus body-coloured plastic bumpers which was pretty radical for its time. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named European Car of the Year, an award that traditionally went to worthy but dull family hatchbacks.Critics immediately recognised the advances that the 928 had made over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance 'Grand Touring' car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution, and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. We are delighted to offer this rare C16-UK supplied 928 Series 4 originally supplied by AFN Porsche in Guildford and first registered on 5th February 1993. Finished in bright Cobalt Blue Metallic with contrasting Linen interior, a rare specification for a Series 4 in 1993.The 928 sits beautifully with excellent lines and shape and its 16-inch alloy wheels sport a new set of matching Toyo Proxes T1-R rubber. Upon close inspection, the wonderful Cobalt Blue paintwork is in excellent condition and shows very few imperfections throughout. The panels are straight and true and are free from dents. As expected from a car that is twenty-four years old there is a light dusting of age-related stone chips. Moving inside the light leather interior shows little signs wear and retains a soft supple and spongy texture with minimal signs of wear to the vulnerable areas. Present are the original deep pile over mats and these are beautifully presented with a fresh feel. Supplied with a comprehensive service record stamped by Official Porsche Centres and Porsche specialists. Included in the history file are a sheaf of previous service invoices, previous MOT certificates, the original service book, and original handbook. The toolkit remains in good condition and the car is offered to auction with a fresh MOT.To conclude, therefore, it is rare to offer such a sharp example of a C16 UK supplied car that presents so beautifully with an impeccable service record with the perfect driver's mileage of some 77,000 miles.

1989 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Targa

Lot # 639 (Sale Order: 39 of 68)      

The 911 3.2 Carrera, produced from 1984 to 1989 is regarded by many as one of the highlights in the evolution of the 911 thanks to the unmistakable classic looks and raw driver appeal. The 3.2 Carrera Sport was similar in appearance to the previous SC model 911 but was, in fact, a substantial improvement over its predecessor with bigger brakes, an 80% revised flat-six engine and of course the much more approachable 5-speed Getrag, G50 gearbox. The 911 3.2 had a redesigned engine inlet and exhaust system, along with the fitment of a service-free Digital Engine Management ignition system (DME), in conjunction with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel metering. This resulted in a significant increase in engine performance and a reduction in fuel consumption, through better engine efficiency and fuel cut-off when coasting. With a capacity of 3.2-litres, and a high compression ratio of 10.3:1, the air-cooled 6-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine produces an output of 230 bhp, at 5,900 rpm. Maximum torque is 284 Nm at 4,800 rpm, and the maximum speed, limited by electronic fuel cut-out, is 152 mph. Acceleration to 60 mph was achieved in under 6 seconds.Our beautifully presented car is the increasingly desirable Sport Targa model originally supplied by WALDRON Porsche Canterbury and finished in Guards Red with Linen Leather piped in Red. According to its comprehensive history file, it has been meticulously cared for until 2003 at 45,302 miles (12 Stamps), and since then it has covered 3,500 miles in 14 years with a number of those years sitting in a controlled storage environment.Our car is complete with original Books, Certificate of Authenticity, Current V5, and a fresh MOT.This is a delightful 911 in a classic colour and represents fantastic value.

1996 Aston Martin DB7 i6 Volante*

Lot # 640 (Sale Order: 40 of 68)      

Introduced to an astonished public in 1993, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin's first six-cylinder model since production of the DBS had finished in 1971. Styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen if you looked carefully. Arguably, one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the '7' was more approachable than the leviathans that had immediately preceded it. Well received, it attracted new customers worldwide, with the traditional layout of the curvaceous two door coupé body, robust six-cylinder engine and a 'proper' interior. Power was supplied by an all-alloy, double overhead camshaft, supercharged, 24-valve, in-line six-cylinder engine which produced 335bhp at 5750rpm. In the same way that the beautiful little Sixties' Lotus Elan morphed, over the years, into the be-winged Esprit Turbo, the DB7 was the first in the line of modern Astons that have become more dramatic with each new model, however, we feel that the simple purity of line of the DB7, will ultimately define the breedWe are very pleased to be able to offer this very special and important Volante presented in British Racing Green with a stunning Chancellor Red Leather interior, having covered just 55,500 miles.Originally supplied new to the Sultan of Brunei, this car has been extremely well looked after having been part of, possibly, the worlds largest car collection when it was new, and is beautifully presented with a huge history file and comes, no doubt, with a story or two.From long-term ownership since 2005, with a glamorous Royal history prior to that, and in this classically British and very stylish colour combination, this truly must be a future modern classic. The car has been freshly serviced by a respected local Aston Martin Specialist.SERVICE HISTORYFrom New stored in very famous car collection.30.08.2002 - 821 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd05.09.2003 - 7,697 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd09.04.2004 - 14,386 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd01.11.2004 - 20,798 miles - Aston Martin Works Service19.05.2005 - 23,220 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd17.05.2006 - 26,885 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd10.01.2007 - 31,921 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd27.09.2007 - 36,492 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd21.12.2007 - 39,553 miles - Hunt & Keal Ltd10.03.2012 - 52,383 miles - Chelsea Motor Company04.07.2013 - 52,623 miles- Chelsea Motor Company15.07.2014 - 53,052 miles - Chelsea Motor Company16.07.2015 - 53,319 miles - Chelsea Motor Company05.07.2017 - 55,532 miles - Four Ashes Garage - Aston Martin SpecialistsMOT HISTORY18.10.2005 - 23,220 miles04.01.2007 - 31,921 miles12.012.2007 - 39,553 miles10.03.2009 - 48,920 miles20.07.2010 - 50,664 miles20.10.2011 - 52,339 miles10.07.2013 - 52,623 miles15.07.2014 - 53,052 miles25.07.2015 - 53,319 miles27.07.2016 - 54,629 miles01.06.2017 - 55,711 milesDB7s are the quintessential British Sports Cars of the late nineties.

2000 Lotus 340R

Lot # 641 (Sale Order: 41 of 68)      

Built by Lotus in 2000 as the ultimate track-day car, the 340R is a special edition based on the Lotus Elise and uses the Elise's bonded aluminium mid-engined chassis, basic running gear, and the 1.8litre Rover 'K' Series in its 177bhp form. Performance was exceptional with 0-60mph in just over 4 seconds and 100mph arriving in 10.7 seconds. Just 340 were built sharing the same silver and black colour scheme and all were sold before manufacture. Despite looking like a dedicated track day special, a role at which it excels, it's fully road legal and delivers a level of ride comfort totally unexpected in such a performance-focused car.This local Midlands car was supplied new to its one and only owner, a valued Silverstone Auctions client, in 2000 and has covered just 7,200 miles since. It was fitted from new with the 190 BHP factory engine conversion and upgrade but is otherwise in totally original factory specification.Not many of these cars remain here in the UK as a lot were raced and damaged or shipped abroad, so this is a very rare opportunity to be able to buy one today, particularly at this competitive guide. It has been totally cared for from new by the same owner and serviced by Lotus main agents and Paul Matty Sportscars on a very regular basis. It comes to the Sale with a fresh MOT, a UK V5C and is ready to use on road or track. Superb fun!

1949 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupé

Lot # 642 (Sale Order: 42 of 68)      

With their competitors slow to react after WW2, Cadillac seized the initiative. Introduced in 1948, the marque's aeronautically inspired 'tail-fin' motif was the work of Harley Earl-trained stylist Franklin Q. Hershey. An immediate trendsetter, it was joined some twelve months later by an all-new overhead valve V8 engine. Engineered by Ed Cole, Jack Gordon and Harry Barr, this 331 cu in (5.4 litre) unit was smaller, more powerful and almost 200lbs lighter than its predecessor. Boasting wedge-shaped combustion chambers, 'slipper' pistons and hydraulic valve lifters, it developed 160bhp in standard tune and soon found favour among the competition fraternity. The 1949 model year Cadillacs were underpinned by a surprisingly competent modular chassis design, a massive cross-braced affair equipped with independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and potent drum brakes.Externally, the '49 cars featured an extended bonnet line with the Goddess 'hood ornament' moved forward, a new grille that wrapped on to the wings and around to the wheel openings, and new chrome trim, giving the car a longer, lower, wider stance. Inside, a fully revamped interior boasted a new instrument panel, door mouldings, trim, and stylish materials.Praise for the 1949 Cadillac was literally universal, with Britain's 'The Motor' magazine declaring that "the car offers astonishing value for money. It has performance which few makes can rival, and even fewer surpass, a general silence of running, which many will consider unbeaten, and an ease of driving." Motor Trend was more succinct; it simply named the 1949 Cadillac its very first "Car of the Year".Easily the most desirable body style among Cadillac's 'Series 61' lineup was the Club Coupé (occasionally known as the 'Sedanette'). This sleek fastback is beautifully represented by the car offered here, which was first registered in California on 01/07/1949 and no doubt had many adventures over the decades before being committed to an extensive renovation, respray and re-chrome in California between 2004 and 2006. Acquired by a German collector in 2006, it was used by him in Germany for a couple of years before being sold here in the UK and registered on 31/07/2008. Its next owner was a Canadian who was UK based and who enjoyed this somewhat dramatic piece of Americana until 2010 when he planned to auction the car prior to his return to Canada. Unfortunately, on the way to the auction venue, the water pump seized and the engine threw a connecting rod. It was then stored in a dry barn for five years before being acquired by its current owner, our vendor. He immediately commissioned a careful and meticulous rebuild of the engine, water pump and other ancillaries and the 'Caddy' is now in regular use as part of his collection of interesting classics. During the engine rebuild it was noted that there was a factory tag on the block indicating that very early in the car's life the original engine had been replaced with a Series 62 unit (Stock no.0151 Powerpack). The replacement engine is 496262151 which is a 1949 build so the exchange must have happened within months of the car being new. Series 61 and 62 engines are identical.411 XUN presents really well in a Deep Metallic Royal Blue with an amazing, period interior in Grey-striped cloth. The nicely patinated 'Bakelite' steering wheel, push-button radio, and extravagant white-wall tyres, all shout about the American post-war dream, as do the unashamed 'Dagmar Bumpers' and fledgling tail fins - Detroit Designers without any budget constraints.This five-seat, 1949, Series 61 Club Coupé will turn heads and will be economical to service, repair and insure. With Forties and Fifties Americana currently becoming the most dominant influence in modern fashion and design, this beautiful '49 Caddy represents an amazing opportunity.
With their competitors slow to react after WW2, Cadillac seized the initiative. Introduced in 1948, the marque's aeronautically inspired 'tail-fin' motif was the work of ...moreHarley Earl-trained stylist Franklin Q. Hershey. An immediate trendsetter, it was joined some twelve months later by an all-new overhead valve V8 engine. Engineered by Ed Cole, Jack Gordon and Harry Barr, this 331 cu in (5.4 litre) unit was smaller, more powerful and almost 200lbs lighter than its predecessor.

2016 Jaguar Project 7 F-Type

Lot # 643 (Sale Order: 43 of 68)      

The idea for a short-screen 'speedster' concept came to life at Goodwood two years ago as a way of celebrating Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins and the achievements of the Ecurie Ecosse racing team responsible for two of them, and of showing just how far the F-Type model could be pushed to make something harder edged. This is the most powerful road Jaguar yet, hand-built at the company's Special Vehicle Operations division and fitted with all the top-end running gear: eight-speed Quickshift transmission, electronic differential, carbon-ceramic brakes, unique-tune adaptive dampers and its own special settings for engine management and chassis stability control.The Project 7 also has unique springs and anti-roll bars, the most prominent feature being front springs that are a stonking 80 percent stiffer, to cope with the potential force generated by the brakes and withstand turn-in loads at high speed on the soft standard Continental Force tyres. Engineers also moved the Sport and standard suspension settings further apart, to provide good options for short and long-distance use.The Project 7 starts as a standard V8 drophead, with its 5.0-litre supercharged engine modified to produce 575PS (25bhp more than an F-Type R Coupé) plus 516lb ft of torque (15lb ft more). Proportionally speaking, these aren't huge increases, but they're delivered via unique throttle maps that let you feel the extra energy from around 2500rpm.Throw in the effect of a 45kg weight reduction (an abbreviated, get-you-home hood saves 35kg and the seats have race-bred carbon fibre shells) and you get best-yet F-Type straight-line acceleration: a 0-60mph sprint time of 3.8sec. The top speed is electronically limited to 186mph (300km/h), as with other F-Types. With the exhaust butterflies open (there's a special console switch), the car emits a superb growl-bark that turns into a magnificent crackle on the overrun. It's the one thing that makes you want to slow down.SVO engineers also rebalanced and improved the car's rear-biased aerodynamic downforce by fitting side skirts and a large front splitter, while slightly reducing the effectiveness (and drag) of the boot lid wing. The timeless design and state-of-the-art technologies, F-TYPE Project 7 truly is the very best of both worlds.To quote from the pre-release marketing;'With only eighty right-hand drive ever to be produced of this contemporary classic Jaguar, making the F-TYPE Project 7 a once in a lifetime opportunity to own the very best of Jaguar and a landmark in their history.'The specification includes:Historic racing D-Type style with exclusive classic rear Aero HaunchLightweight all-aluminium body with racing-inspired front bumper with splitter 20' Alloy Wheels8 Speed Automatic Transmission Carbon Ceramic Braking System with Brake assist Electric Power steeringUnique race-inspired F-TYPE seats in Premium LeatherHeated Leather Tilt and Telescope Steering WheelBespoke manual 'Bimini' hood Dusk Sensing Xenon Lights Navigation, DVD Player, USB Connection, and Meridian Premium SpeakersParking SensorsUnique 'Project 7' badgingOur vendor was one of those lucky people who attended the Goodwood launch, placed an expression of interest, and was told that the waiting list would be worked through after the event. Having thought about it that evening, and being a remarkably generous individual, he decided that he would order a second car for his wife. So, in the fullness of time, both cars arrived at their chosen dealer, Williams in Manchester, and they took delivery with this car then registered on 02/03/2016.His wife has now decided that as she has never used her Project car the time has come to let it go. The car is appropriately registered PR07 TWO (the plate will stay with the car) and in addition to the standard spec is finished in Glacier White with Heritage Decals, is fitted with four-point harnesses, a Jaguar battery charger in the boot, and is on standard wheels and road tyres. The odometer currently indicates just 12 delivery miles.The car will be accompanied by all its manuals and launch documents, a highly-polished Speedform model of the car and a bespoke 'Project 7' car cover.We welcome any inspection of this landmark Jaguar and gently remind you that it's only a few weeks until Christmas.

1974 Jaguar E-Type SIII Roadster

Lot # 644 (Sale Order: 44 of 68)      

The Series III was the final incarnation of the iconic Jaguar E-Type. Launched in 1971, it was fitted with a silky smooth 5.3-litre, V12 engine and was offered as a 2+2 Coupé or an open-top Roadster. Boasting a longer wheelbase, larger and better brakes, and power steering, all as standard, it was a great swansong for one of the 20th Century's greatest cars. Success in the American market was dependent, to a great extent, on the car being fitted with an automatic gearbox, and by far the vast majority were so equipped, making Series III V12s fitted with a manual gearbox very rare.According to the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this manual roadster was dispatched to Ernest W. Hatfield of Sheffield for the car's first owner Trafford Thermoplastics Ltd on the 13th March 1974. It was one of the last 150 right-hand drive, E-Type Roadsters and left the factory finished in Jaguar Dark Blue with a Russet Red interior, and black hood, colours it still wears today. To this consignor's eye, the car appears to still have its original interior and the 'mouse fur' brushed nylon carpeting shows a little wear in the usual places. Recent works to the interior by the vendor includes attending to the foam in the headrests with new inserts. The original radio is included in the sale, and we are informed the CD changer offers a good balance between music and the V12 burble.Bought by our vendor on the 3rd May 2003 after an exhaustive search, this matching numbers example is now showing a shade under 50,000 miles. Offered to auction to fund a new business project following retirement, the car, although not Concours is the next best thing - the perfect driver's car. After a recent trip to Le Mans, a new alternator and fuel pump were fitted, and the car's history file shows regular maintenance. Included with the sale is a photographic record, bound in an album, of the bare metal re-spray that took place in the early 1990s under the previous owner's custodianship. Our vendor has never driven the E-Type in the wet, so the few tiny tears at the edge of the soft top have never bothered him, especially when hidden by the tonneau.The MOT is valid until April 2018 and this car offers the lucky new buyer an opportunity to cosmetically fettle over the dark winter months. To conclude, a good, matching numbers, manual roadster in great factory colours is a rare sight on the UK roads, and with some careful detailing this final version of the wonderful E-Type will no doubt offer many more years of top-down motoring.

1990 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet

Lot # 645 (Sale Order: 45 of 68)      

This is a superb original UK, right-hand drive, 3.4-litre, Mondial 'T' Cabriolet supplied new to its first owner by HR Owen on the 19th of January, 1990. One thousand and ten Mondial T Cabriolets were built altogether with only 51 in right-hand drive and 26 manuals, making this example very rare indeed.The odometer currently indicates 14,400 miles, which our vendor believes to be accurate, but the service record sadly has been lost so we are unable to substantiate this, however, there is a lot of additional history with the car. There are consecutive MOT Certificates from February 2008 when the mileage was 11,072 and the car has covered an average of around 500 miles a year since then, so it should be possible to take a view. The expression "no expense spared" appears to be appropriate, with over £25,000 lavished on the car since 2015. In May 2015 it was sent to QV London Ltd. in Windsor and apart from a full service and cambelt change, it looks as though they were asked to deal with every single thing the car needed. They obviously went through the car thoroughly as the invoice for just short of £7,000 suggests. When QV had sorted the Ferrari mechanically, a move to Thames Valley Repairs in Maidenhead was on the agenda and there, over the following months, a further £12,000 was spent on the car's coachwork including a quality respray. The original Crema interior trim has been restored and the windscreen was replaced at this point (£3,000). Since then the expenditure has continued with a new factory roof being fitted and the front lower valance and sill plates replaced and painted. All the invoices for the above are available for your inspection. This must be one of the lowest mileage and best-presented Mondials around, and fully serviced, restored and just MOT'd, this cracking cabriolet is ready for action. With values of these comfortable and approachable Ferraris hardening over recent years, this may be an excellent chance to enjoy top-down Ferrari motoring on a sensible budget.

1968 Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2 Fixedhead Coupe

Lot # 646 (Sale Order: 46 of 68)      

Introduced in May 1961, the Jaguar E-type 3.8 FHC was a sensation with classic good looks and performance unrivaled at the price. Often heralded as the most beautiful car of all time Jaguar, not surprisingly, made no significant changes until the introduction of the 4.2 engine in October 1964. Additionally, they incorporated an all-synchromesh gearbox, increased legroom and better torque from the new capacity engine. This resulted in the best driving E-type and now a Grand Tourer to match the best being produced by its rivals. The E-type still continued to hammer the opposition on pricing.A Jaguar Heritage certificate show this particular Series I 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe was supplied new on 4th April 1968 in left-hand drive by Jaguar Cars New York to a Captain P.J. Ognibene. Much of the history of the car is largely unknown, but we believe the car was imported to the UK in 2014 when a restoration was commenced with a previous owner. At this time it was converted to right-hand drive and registered in October 2016 with the DVLA issuing 'EFX 337C' as its registration. Since then the car has undergone further improvements with a full body respray in Black and a full interior retrim by respected specialists Aldridge Trimmers. Other modifications have included the fitting of triple Weber carburetors, a tubular stainless-steel exhaust manifold, an uprated aluminium radiator with thermostatic control, a new steering rack, new hoses, belts, doors-handles, lights, engine mounts, water pump and a new sump. There are bills in the history file for parts alone totalling over £6,000.This makes this rejuvenated E-type a very useable classic with some small tweaks to aid everyday driving. Supplied with a UK V5c, this smart Series 1 FHC represents an opportunity to sample the delights of E-Type motoring.

2003 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4S

Lot # 647 (Sale Order: 47 of 68)      

When Porsche introduced the 996 in 1998, it heralded a big departure from the timeless 911 concept, for not only was it radically different to its predecessor, but for the first time a Porsche 911 was water cooled. Stringent emissions/noise regulations, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, 4-valves per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other major changes include a completely new platform topped with a sleeker body, a more raked windscreen, and a redesigned interior. The new car was far more practical too, with more space for touring, a roomier cabin and a structure that was 45% stiffer, yet despite all of this, the 996 was 50kg lighter than the outgoing model. In response to customer demand, the four-wheel drive Carrera 4S was introduced in 2003 fitted as standard with many options including a wider body with turbo-style wheels, lowered suspension, and a sports exhaust coupled to the 3.6ltr engine which developed 320bhp @6800rpm and 273lb/ft torque. Aided by the inclusion of 'VarioCam Plus' which improved power delivery through the range, the car was capable of 0-60 in 5 seconds and a top speed of 174mph. This lovely, manual gearbox, Carrera 4S bears the desirable Porsche 'C16' Code meaning that it was destined from 'Day 1' for the UK market and has been equipped accordingly. It was ordered in Cobalt Blue with Grey leather interior and was distributed through the Porsche Centre Exeter to a Mr. S. Wells. MOT records show that under his care the car travelled some 21,000 miles before ownership was transferred to a Mr. P. Hall on the 30th January 2009 who barely used the car, travelling some 3,000 miles before selling the car to his friend, our vendor Mr. P. Roberts on the 10th March 2014. The car joined Mr. Roberts' small Porsche collection and has just flown through the MOT at 33,876 miles. The car has only been serviced by Official Porsche Centres, at the following intervals: 02/03/2005 Porsche Centre Exeter at 13,374 miles 03/02/2007 Porsche Centre Exeter at 20,180 miles 16/03/2010 Porsche Centre Cardiff at 23,628 miles 19/02/2015 Porsche Centre Cardiff at 30,737 miles Good low mileage examples of the eminently useable C4S are hard to find and this example is presented to auction with a history file that includes the original bill of sale, handbooks, invoices, SORN notices, and every previous MOT certificate. This is a superb 996 and we welcome any inspection.

Aided by the inclusion of 'VarioCam Plus' which improved power delivery through the range, the car was capable of 0-60 in 5 seconds and a top speed of 174mph. This lovely, manual gearbox, Carrera 4S bears the desirable Porsche 'C16' Code meaning that it was destined from 'Day 1' for the UK market and has been equipped accordingly. It was ordered in Cobalt Blue with Grey leather interior and was distributed through the Porsche Centre Exeter to a Mr. S. Wells. MOT records show that under his care the car travelled some 21,000 miles before ownership was transferred to a Mr. P. Hall on the 30th January 2009 who barely used the car, travelling some 3,000 miles before selling the car to his friend, our vendor Mr. P. Roberts on the 10th March 2014. The car joined Mr. Roberts' small Porsche collection and has just flown through the MOT at 33,876 miles. The car has only been serviced by Official Porsche Centres, at the following intervals: 02/03/2005 Porsche Centre Exeter at 13,374 miles 03/02/2007 Porsche Centre Exeter at 20,180 miles 16/03/2010 Porsche Centre Cardiff at 23,628 miles 19/02/2015 Porsche Centre Cardiff at 30,737 miles Good low mileage examples of the eminently useable C4S are hard to find and this example is presented to auction with a history file that includes the original bill of sale, handbooks, invoices, SORN notices, and every previous MOT certificate. This is a superb 996 and we welcome any inspection.

1924 La Buire 12a Saloon

Lot # 648 (Sale Order: 48 of 68)      

The La Buire motor car was built in Lyons by an established engineering company: Chantiers de la Buire whose first venture into powered transport, in the late 1890s, was as a manufacturer of steam engines and vehicles, which were followed by an electric car in the early 1900s. The first La Buire powered by an internal combustion engine appeared in 1904, and the following year a new company - Société des Automobiles La Buire - was formed to manage the motor manufacturing side of the business. La Buire built a range of four-cylinder cars including a 13.6-litre Leviathan, one of which was driven in UK hill climbs by Joseph Higginson.La Buire's UK importer was Hollingdrake of Stockport, Cheshire. Hollingdrake made their own bodies up to circa 1924 before subcontracting the work to close neighbours, G. W. Smith, and this car carries Hollingdrake's plaque on the body. Peter Price sold the car to the previous owner, Bob Danaher, following whose death it was purchased as an unrestored project by Kingsley Curtis (photographs on file).Restoration commenced around 2007, the bodywork renovation being undertaken by Nick Paravani with woodwork by David Friswell and mechanical refurbishment by Peter Barber-Lomax (invoices on file).This rare and incredibly charming motorcar is eligible for VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club) events and spent 14 years with its previous keeper. Most recently the car has undergone a huge amount of work to ensure its running properly, and to present it in the condition you see today. Further restorative work may be required on the interior, but it'd make a great project for the winter.

1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider 1600

Lot # 649 (Sale Order: 49 of 68)      

Sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider was a huge success and continued virtually unchanged in 1.6-litre Giulia guise when the latter joined the line-up in 1962. Launched at the Monza Autodrome on 27th June that year, the Giulia range was the work of a design team headed by one of the greatest of Italian automobile engineers, Dr.Orazio Satta Puliga, who had been responsible for all the post-war Alfa Romeos. The capacity increase from 1,300 to 1,600cc boosted the maximum power of Alfa's classic twin-cam four from 80 to 92bhp and the car's top speed to 109mph. Reliability was likewise enhanced and the larger engine was noticeably smoother and less fussy. A five-speed gearbox was standard on the Giulia 1600 Spider, which remained in production until 1966.This fabulous and rare, left-hand drive, Giulia Spider was registered in 1964 in Florence, where it remained for most of its life. '373009' was restored in 2003 and then sold to a Sig.Cremascoli of Milan, an Alfa collector, who kept the car until 2015 when it was supplied to the current owner by Daniele Turrisi.The car has been well maintained and sparingly used under current ownership and is reported to drive very well. Indeed, the Alfa was a recent crowd-pleaser in the classic car parade laps at the Ignition Festival of Motoring in Glasgow in 2016 and 2017. Earlier this year it had a light respray in its original Rosso Alfa to address a crackle mark on the boot lid and to restore it to one shade of red as some panels had faded more than others in the Italian sunshine. Supplied with its original logbook showing many stamps throughout the years and a rare and highly-prized factory hardtop finished in Rosso, this little Spider is in excellent condition outside, inside and underneath and will reward any inspection. It is simply a lovely example that's ready to be used and enjoyed by its next owner. Imagine it's a balmy, late July, Sunday evening in central Rome and you pull up in this sparkling Alfa right outside the Doney Café on the Via Veneto, hoping to enjoy some of Maria Foglieni's famous Cantuccini Biscotti and a glass of Vin Santo. The Alfa ticks and pings as it cools and the yellow street lights are reflected in its gleaming Rosso coachwork, much to the delight of the laughing and chattering 'beautiful people' as they pass on the way up the Via Vittorio making the most of the last hours of their Roman weekend. Well, the Café is still there and the Alfa will soon be here!

1973 BMW 3.0 CSL

Lot # 650 (Sale Order: 50 of 68)      

**In period and thought to be in the 1980's the engine was upgraded to a M535 3.5 12v fuel injected engine as was common practice. ** The BMW 3.0 CSL - Coupé Sport Lightweight - was a special version of the six-cylinder BMW E9 pillarless coupé produced in lighter gauge steel with aluminium doors/bonnet/boot lid and chrome arch extensions to accommodate wider alloy wheels. Introduced in May 1972, 1000 were built to homologate the BMW Coupé for the Group 2 European Touring Car Championship where the E9 CS Coupés had suffered from a weight handicap against the dominant Ford Capris. BMW UK took 500 in RHD with most of the standard CS's luxury equipment refitted. Mechanically these cars were almost identical to the fuel-injected CSi (which meant 200bhp and 140mph plus) but to take it into the over 3-litre class the engines were bored out slightly to 3003cc. Equipped with all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear), disc brakes and responsive steering, it was wonderfully balanced. Very expensive when new (several hundred pounds more than a 911 RS 2.7), CSLs are now the most highly coveted BMWs of the nineteen seventies with a fabulous competition record.First registered in April 1973, this right-hand drive CSL has been the subject of a two-year restoration between 2013 and 2015 following a period of storage from 2008. Works undertaken include: bead blasting of the body with any repairs being carried out using BMW panels, rustproofing of the body using Dinitrol, a comprehensive engine overhaul by Corry Engineering, retrimming of the interior using new Scheel seat materials and new carpets, overhaul of the braking system including brake boosters, calipers and master cylinder, new brake and fuel lines, all new Bilstein suspension including bushes and powder coating, refurbishment of the original 14 x 7 wheels, retrimming of the steering wheel in hand-stitched leather and refurbishment of the interior wood trim. Painted in Polaris Silver with the correct 'Motorsport. Stripes, and complemented by a Black interior with Scheel seats, the looks of the car are further enhanced by a 'Batmobile' aero package including front spoiler, lightweight rear bumper, rear window hoop and rear spoiler mounted to the steel boot lid (a correct modification due to the spoiler's weight being found to distort the aluminium boot lids). Currently displaying an unwarranted 27,916 miles on its odometer, MCY 35L is accompanied by a Swansea V5 document, dating certificate letter from BMW, a list of owners from new, together with invoices and receipts for the restoration work. Purchased by our vendor a couple of years ago he tells us 'When I bought the car it was about 90% finished so I spent another £4k sorting it and have just spent £1,500 for a check over and new M O T. It is now perfect.'These head-turning coupés are now about as rare as a sympathetic plumber and will continue to have a ready market, probably forever.
