Discretion 3.1 SAL has the right as its sole discretion to refuse any bid, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot and, in the case of dispute, to put any Lot up for Auction again. 3.2 If SAL is notified about the Seller's alleged breach of any of the Terms before it has remitted the Sale Proceeds to the Seller, it may at its sole discretion withhold payment until that dispute is resolved. SAL may, however, deduct any sums that are due to it from the sum held. 3.3 Automobilia lots will be subject to an auctioneers 10% discretion on the reserve unless SAL are notified in writing by the seller otherwise. 4.

They may not show the true condition and colour, (which may be inaccurately reproduced) of the Lot. 5.3 Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for any potential bidder to satisfy themselves as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its originality, authorship, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). No description of a lot carries with it an implication that it is fit for any particular purpose. 5.4 Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer. Lots are sold to the Buyer on an "as is" basis, with all faults and imperfections. 5.5 The actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as its outward appearance suggests.

The inside of a lot may not be visible where, for example, it is covered by upholstery or material, and may not be original or may be damaged, have been damaged or poorly repaired. Given the age of some Lots, no assumption should be made with regard to any aspect of their condition. 5.6 Any person who physically interferes with, scratches or damages the Lot in any way (at, before or after the Auction) will be held liable for the loss so caused. 5.7 The Seller is responsible for delivering the Lot in a presentable and saleable condition.

Alterations and Estimates 6.1 Estimates and descriptions may be amended at SAL's discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during an Auction. 6.2 The Lot is available for inspection and any potential bidders must form their own opinion in relation to it. They are strongly advised to examine any Lot or have it examined by a specialist or engineer on their behalf before the Auction. 6.3 SAL gives no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Any estimate given, whether written or oral and whether or not printed in any Catalogue, as to the estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at SAL's sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price. 6.4 SAL shall not be liable to the Seller for any error or misstatement in or omission from the description of any lot in any Catalogue where SAL has: 6.4.1 been provided with such description by the Seller or any person on his behalf; or 6.4.2 provided the Seller with a copy of such description prior to publication of the Catalogue and neither the Seller nor any person on his behalf has notified SAL in writing within a reasonable time before the Auction of any error or misstatement in or omission from the description. 6.5 SAL has no duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller. 7. Warranty by the Seller 7.1 The Seller warrants to the Buyer and to SAL that: 7.1.1 The Seller is the owner of the Lot or is properly authorised to sell the Lot by the owner, and is able to sell the Lot with full title guarantee free from all encumbrances and third party claims and in particular that there is no outstanding finance affecting the Lot or any taxes due. If the car is subject to finance the amount outstanding must be confirmed prior to consignment and sale. 7.1.2 The description of the Lot in the Catalogue is to the best of the Seller's knowledge accurate and not misleading. The Seller has notified (or will before the Auction notify) SAL in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition or quality of the Lot and has provided SAL with all such information in the Seller's possession or control. 7.1.3 The Seller shall compensate SAL and the Buyer in full for all losses, expenses and other costs which are caused by the Seller's breach of any obligation of the Seller under the Terms. 7.1.4 Where the vehicle is not registered in the UK, the seller shall be responsible for completing the NOVA application within 14 days of the car arriving in the UK and before the vehicle arrives at the auction for sale. 8.

All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by SAL in writing. 9.5 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only SAL at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller. 9.6 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, SAL shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue. 9.7 SAL may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that SAL accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve. 10. Commission and Expenses 10.1 SAL shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 5% of the Hammer Price for vehicles and 15% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by SAL in writing ("Seller's Commission") plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to SAL. 10.2 The Seller acknowledges SAL's right to retain the Buyer's Premium payable by the Buyer. 11. Insurance 11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer.

1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda

Lot # 326 (Sale Order: 26 of 51)

Make: Mercedes-BenzModel: 230SL PagodaYear: 1966VIN: 113.042-10-018061Registration: VAM 813DEngine - Displacement: 2306Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 50,000 - 60,000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)

Left-hand drive, European-spec import from the USSubject to a professional three-year restoration by Barkston RefinishingMedium Blue Metallic with a lovely Parchment interior Believed to be matching-numbers. Manual gearbox. Hard-top Launched at the Geneva Auto Salon in March 1963, the 230SL – or W113 in Mercedes-Benz language – was a very different sort of sporting car from its forebears. Intended as the replacement for the 190SL, the 230SL abandoned its predecessor's four-cylinder engine in favour of a 2.3-litre fuel-injected six-cylinder SOHC engine. The Paul Bracq-penned body was an all-new, stylish design which became an instant classic. The construction utilised some of the new manufacturing techniques being adopted in the emerging 'S' Class, however, beneath the skin the running gear was conventional Mercedes-Benz, featuring all-round independent suspension, disc front/drum rear brakes, and the choice of a four-speed manual or automatic gearbox. The cabin was classic Mercedes but a bit more 'Sixties' and the car appealed to a younger demographic, a fact that was instantly reflected in Mercedes worldwide sales figures.The W113 SL eventually spanned three engine sizes and remained in production until 1971 with around 49,000 finding homes. These SL models were amongst the most loved sports-tourers of their day and continue to be highly sought after by collectors with their timeless looks and neat proportions having never gone out of fashion.The car presented here is a 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda (with the desirable and rarer manual gearbox) which has been subject to a recently completed three-year restoration. This left-hand drive, European-spec example spent its life in the US before our vendor imported it and proceeded to oversee its renewal. The car was in storage in the US just prior to being shipped but was complete and in inherently good condition. Our vendor utilised the specialist restoration skills of 'Barkston Refinishing' of Grantham who undertook a full bare-metal refurbishment and mechanical overhaul. It now looks really smart in Medium Blue Metallic (396G), the engine bay is neat and tidy, and the little Mercedes certainly sits well. Whoever is in charge of restoring interiors at Barkston Refinishing can be justly proud of their work as it is simply splendid. The 'Parchment' leather is tight and fresh, the light blue corded carpet fits well, all the cockpit and dashboard chrome work looks excellent, and the white Bakelite steering wheel appears uncracked.The accompanying Mercedes-Benz data-card for the car states it left the factory on the 14th September 1966. It is believed to retain its matching-numbers status, displaying its original/correct engine number (as per its data-card) stamped on the block, plus an original Mercedes-Benz Tauschaggregat plate (with code 127 010 4100) which means, at some point, the engine was either overhauled or replaced with the correct 230SL-type at the factory (as the engine number seen in the block is still as per its data-card, it is more likely that the engine was overhauled). Unfortunately, there is no history from its time in the US, but there are invoices and photos of its restoration, plus a copy of its data-card from Mercedes-Benz. The car is now UK-registered and ready to use. Pagodas have an indefinable 'chic' and seem to generate a real pride of ownership particularly when they look this good. In this condition, at this guide price, and after a few years building up a service history, this could be a very shrewd investment.

Very rare genuine RS1600 ground-up restored to an extremely high standardIconic Ford homologation special factory ordered with Le Mans Green paintworkLow survival numbers, road going examples rarely come to marketArguably the most successful rally car of the 1970s, your opportunity to own the legend.The original Ford Escort was introduced at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968 and soon became a commercial success as an attractive small family saloon. Ford had, for a number of years, used active participation in motor sport as a means of getting their showroom doors swinging on a Monday morning, and the new Escort was to prove no exception. Popular at club level in every discipline of the sport, it was at International level that the name 'Escort' became synonymous with winning. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s / early 1970s, and arguably, the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally being driven by Finnish legend Hannu Mikkola. This result and the ensuing acclaim prompted Ford to produce the famous Escort Mexico (1.6 L 'Kent'-engine) road version in honour of the rally car.One step up from the Mexico, the Escort 'RS1600' was developed using an engine that was essentially a detuned Formula 3 unit designated BDA (Belt Drive 'A' Series). Both the Mexico and RS1600 were built simultaneously at the now famous Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) facility located at the Aveley Plant in South Essex. As well as higher performance engines and sports suspension, these models featured strengthened bodyshells, making them ideal for rallying.Even today, Mark I Escorts are still very popular in the Historic Rally scene with their reputation for a great balance of power and handling, making them true driver's cars. The BDA engine emits a distinctive and appealing 'growl', which can be heard for quite a distance when the vehicle is being driven hard. Estimates suggest that only around 1,137 RS1600s were produced in total.The car offered for sale today was first registered in the UK on 11th February 1972 and was purchased by the current owner to form part of his collection. The speedometer is reading 3,525, which we believe is the total mileage covered since this car underwent a ground-up restoration. The history file contains invoices from renowned marque expert Andy Stapley Motorsport who has been looking after the Escort's welfare.According to a number of sources, we understand there are less than 50 RS1600s registered or on SORN in the UK with the vast majority of these having been extensively raced, rallied, exported, or just lived a hard life and. as a result, it is very unusual to find a road car finished to such a high standard. The Le Mans Green paintwork is superb with excellent shut lines and has been completed to a very high standard. The interior is completely standard and correct, and the engine bay is spotless.This immaculate, 1972, RS1600 sits 'all-square' and presents really well in its period-correct, bright green. It's 'on the button', has a fresh MoT and is crying out to be used.

A 1983 CX500 Custom, Water cooled, Shaft drive, 5-speedCompletely stripped and a full nut and bolt rebuild. Only 300 miles since. Fresh MoTFrame, forks, tank and panels stripped to bare metal, repainted and coated Engine overhaul, carbs serviced, new suspension, complete brake rebuild, complete rewire Bespoke stainless steel exhaust with black mufflers, specially built spoked wheels with Metz tyres Honda took a different design direction in the late seventies with the arrival of the CX-Series with many innovative features that seemed a bit brave for a mass manufacturer. The 497cc 'Twisted-Twin' produced around 50bhp and sat on top of a five-speed gearbox with shaft-drive to the rear wheel. It was water-cooled with dual CV-type carburettors that were tuned for reduced emissions and starting was electric only, but sensibly the electronic ignition was separate from the rest of the electrical system, enabling the motorcycle to be push-started and ridden in case of total electrical failure. The 1978 CX500 Standard had a large fuel tank, stepped seat, a round brake fluid reservoir and a plastic mini-fairing that was thought to look unusual at the time, and gave the bike the unfortunate nickname "plastic maggot". Fortunately, the CX500C (Custom), introduced a year later addressed the looks issue with a conventional tank and metalwork. Significant numbers of CXs were made in a variety of guises before production ended in 1983 and the CX faded into obscurity. However, amazingly, the CX is back in vogue in a big way and they have obviously been biding their time waiting for their moment of glory. It's impossible to ignore the new wave of CX powered 'café racers' and personalised 'street scramblers' on the roads, with some machines changing hands for serious amounts of money.This distinctive machine started life as a 1983 CX500 Custom and has undergone a full and complete strip down with a full nut and bolt rebuild. The frame and forks were stripped to bare metal, repainted and coated as were the tank and panels. Additionally, it has benefitted from an engine overhaul, new suspension, complete brake rebuild including all new brake pipes, carbs fully serviced and overhauled, complete rewire with all Motogadget equipment, and a completely new water-cooling system including the radiator.It has been fitted with a bespoke stainless steel exhaust with black mufflers, specially built spoked wheels with Metz tyres, new handlebars with all new levers and cables, and a new high-quality leather seat.Since the rebuild was completed the bike has only covered 300 running-in miles and now has fresh fluids and a new MoT. This is a very smart CX Tracker, that is easy to ride with a sensible saddle height, high bars, shaft drive, and smooth gear changes, and no matter if the hair you tuck into your crash helmet is mainly grey, your 'street credibility ' is bound to go up a number of points.(Helmet and gloves not included)

Launched at the 2006 Paris Motor Show in collaboration with the fashion house VersaceOnly 20 models were treated to the exterior branding and bespoke interior, only a handful in right-hand driveSupplied new to New Zeland from where our vendor sourced the car, Registered in the UK in 2017A full Lamborghini service history and an odometer reading of 14,000km or 8,600 milesStylish details coupled with the legendary 6.5ltr V12 mated to the 6-speed E-Gear semi-automatic.Please note the private registration number is not included and retention proceedings have begun.In 1998, the automotive world held its breath after the sale of Lamborghini to the Volkswagen group, and into the custodianship of subsidiary Audi. Hundreds of column inches were devoted to the question: would Lamborghini become sensible? For thirty-five years Lamborghini was a name synonymous with cars that did not conform, and later models such as the Countach and Diablo were deemed simply outrageous in compared to their contemporaries. Not altogether surprisingly, as the formation of Automobili Lamborghini was conceived in the aftermath of the outrage shown by tractor magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini in response to an encounter with Enzo Ferrari where he complained of the shoddy components fitted to his Ferrari. Enzo famously dismissed him, and the legendary marque was born, with each model pushing the design and engineering envelope. However the cars, whilst beautiful, were hard to live with on a daily basis, and with this in mind, Audi's plan was to provide German engineering and reliability under the skin of exotic Italian design. The resulting Murciélago, launched in 2001, gained praise for its dramatic looks that borrowed somewhat from the Muira and the Countach, and although deemed flamboyant at launch, the clean lines have aged gracefully. In March 2006, Lamborghini unveiled an updated version of the Murciélago, the LP 640 an alpha-numeric designation which indicated the engine's orientation (Longitudinale Posteriore), along with the updated power output. With displacement now increased to 6.5-litres, the engine produced 631 hp at 8,000 rpm and an upgraded clutch, for the 6-speed "e-Gear" automated sequential transmission with launch control, rounded out the performance modifications.Fittingly, as the marque of choice of the international jet set, a collaboration with the fashion house Versace was unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show. Available in either white or black, only 20 were produced as both coupé or roadster, with very few available in right-hand drive. Although the standard V12 engine was used, stylists from the Versace fashion house and Lamborghini's 'Ad Personam' program collaborated to design custom interiors finished in two-tone Versace leather complimented by a Gianni Versace logo plaque on the centre console, and supplied with bespoke branded luggage. It must be said that both the exterior and interior branding is understated by 2018 automotive standards, and although offered in both white or black coachwork, the Aldebaran Gloss Black paint and bi-colour Nero over Bianco leather interior, stitched with the famous Versace Greco motif, is perhaps the best combination.All 20 cars were numbered and this car, the penultimate version at #19, was delivered to New Zealand in right-hand drive in 2007. Some ten years later our vendor, an avid collector of exotica, found the car for sale while purchasing a De Tomaso Pantera. Both cars shared the long journey to UK shores and the Lamborghini was first registered in the UK on the 1st April 2017, subsequently under the private registration “80 AO” which is not included in the sale. The car is presented to auction with an odometer reading of some 11,200 kilometres or just under 7,000 miles, full Lamborghini service history, Versace-branded luggage and an MoT valid until August 2019.To conclude, as the rarest of the Murcielago model range, this beautifully presented example is definitely one for the discerning Lamborghini collector.

Great colour combinationEnviable service history The last of the purist's V12 manual Ferraris?Real-world GT ability and a timeless modern classicFirmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern-era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front-mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. Following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', the 550 Maranello is inevitability compared to its forbear. Few front-engined Ferraris have quite justified that comparison quite like the 550 Maranello.Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, small cabin and a truncated tail. Classic Ferrari styling cues include a bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel-arches recalling the great Competizione Ferraris of the past, whilst the rear incorporates Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpm. The powertrain was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, whilst the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.The six-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, whilst still capable of almost 200 mph. With styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous storage and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, the 550 Maranello really is the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.In 2004, EVO magazine published a 'Greatest Driver's Cars' feature that set the 550 Maranello against the Porsche 911 GT3, Honda NSX-R and Pagani Zonda C12S. The Ferrari won. EVO stated “As with all great cars, there's no one facet that dominates the experience. Yes, the engine is mighty, but the chassis is its equal. There's never been a supercar that's so exploitable and so rounded in its capabilities.”The car presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello, which has covered just 31,164 miles, and looks resplendent in the discerning combination of Nero Daytona (Black) paintwork and Crema hide (with black piping).

Very early Roadster built in left-hand drive and despatched new to ItalySuperbly restored by Italian craftsmen prior to its return to the UK in 2013The restoration appears to have been loyal to 1961 detailBritish Racing Green with a handcrafted Tan interior. Bellissimo!1961, 3.8-litre, flat-floor, factory hard-top, fully restored. Not too many of these about. Most of us imagine that the trend amongst the world's top manufacturers of exotic automobiles to release an air-brushed artist's impression of their new ultra-desirable, hugely powerful, impossibly good-looking, we're only making a few, don't ask how much and anyway they are all sold, model is a fairly recent phenomenon, however, it's not. Way back in 1961, Jaguar Cars did just that with their forthcoming E-Type and the only difference was that the forecast list price for the new model was about half of what you thought it might be. Sir William Lyons' savvy move of restricting the sale of the first 50 or so cars to established racing drivers or celebrities only fuelled demand still further and magazine articles have been written about just how far potential customers would go to be moved up the rapidly expanding waiting list.Naturally, when the car was launched in May 1961 it caused a sensation with newspaper headlines focussing on the car's (optimistic) top speed of 150mph and remarkable looks, however, there was a lot more to the E-Type than a pretty face. With a claimed 265 horsepower available, the E-Type's performance significantly furthered the standards set by the preceding XK models, partly because it weighed around 500lbs less than the XK150, but mainly because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used his experience gained partly with their C and D-Types but mainly from prototypes E1A and E2A to create one of the most efficient shapes for a high-performance sports car. The fact that this low drag design was also one of the most elegant shapes ever to sit atop a set of four wheels was a bit of a 'win-win'.Only in terms of its transmission did the E-Type represent no significant advance over the XK150, whose durable four-speed Moss gearbox it retained. But, of all the versions of Jaguar's long-lived and much-loved sports car, it is the very early 3.8-litre cars built prior to February 1962 (retrospectively known as 'flat floor') which, for many enthusiasts, remain the most desirable. Around 2,000 of the early cars were built with a flat floor under the pedals but the driving position was not ideal for taller drivers so changes were made to the footwell creating a recess for the driver's heels.According to its chassis number, this is the 594th left-hand drive roadster built and was finished in Cream with a Black interior. before being supplied new to Fattori and Montani in Rome. It was ordered with a factory hardtop but without a soft-top which seems odd considering it was headed for sunny Italy. It returned to the UK in 2013 just after being fully restored in Italy with a colour change to the lovely combination of British Racing Green with a light tan leather interior. Pleasingly it remains still attached to its original hard top. The quality of Italian restorations is legendary, particularly when it comes to interiors and trimming. and in this case, no matter what additions had crept into the cabin over the years, it is now 'Pure 1961'.

Bellissimo!1961, 3.8-litre, flat-floor, factory hard-top, fully restored. Not too many of these about. Most of us imagine that the trend amongst the world's top manufacturers of exotic automobiles to release an air-brushed artist's impression of their new ultra-desirable, hugely powerful, impossibly good-looking, we're only making a few, don't ask how much and anyway they are all sold, model is a fairly recent phenomenon, however, it's not. Way back in 1961, Jaguar Cars did just that with their forthcoming E-Type and the only difference was that the forecast list price for the new model was about half of what you thought it might be. Sir William Lyons' savvy move of restricting the sale of the first 50 or so cars to established racing drivers or celebrities only fuelled demand still further and magazine articles have been written about just how far potential customers would go to be moved up the rapidly expanding waiting list.Naturally, when the car was launched in May 1961 it caused a sensation with newspaper headlines focussing on the car's (optimistic) top speed of 150mph and remarkable looks, however, there was a lot more to the E-Type than a pretty face. With a claimed 265 horsepower available, the E-Type's performance significantly furthered the standards set by the preceding XK models, partly because it weighed around 500lbs less than the XK150, but mainly because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used his experience gained partly with their C and D-Types but mainly from prototypes E1A and E2A to create one of the most efficient shapes for a high-performance sports car. The fact that this low drag design was also one of the most elegant shapes ever to sit atop a set of four wheels was a bit of a 'win-win'.Only in terms of its transmission did the E-Type represent no significant advance over the XK150, whose durable four-speed Moss gearbox it retained. But, of all the versions of Jaguar's long-lived and much-loved sports car, it is the very early 3.8-litre cars built prior to February 1962 (retrospectively known as 'flat floor') which, for many enthusiasts, remain the most desirable. Around 2,000 of the early cars were built with a flat floor under the pedals but the driving position was not ideal for taller drivers so changes were made to the footwell creating a recess for the driver's heels.According to its chassis number, this is the 594th left-hand drive roadster built and was finished in Cream with a Black interior. before being supplied new to Fattori and Montani in Rome. It was ordered with a factory hardtop but without a soft-top which seems odd considering it was headed for sunny Italy. It returned to the UK in 2013 just after being fully restored in Italy with a colour change to the lovely combination of British Racing Green with a light tan leather interior. Pleasingly it remains still attached to its original hard top. The quality of Italian restorations is legendary, particularly when it comes to interiors and trimming. and in this case, no matter what additions had crept into the cabin over the years, it is now 'Pure 1961'. The Jaguar is supplied with its UK V5C Registration Document, the Heritage Certificate, a MoT test certificate from when the car was imported, and the original Italian registration documents.This is an opportunity to purchase, not only one of the most sought-after E-Type models, a 'matching numbers, Series !, 3.8-litre, 'flat floor', but one that has been beautifully restored.

1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Coupé

Lot # 333 (Sale Order: 33 of 51)

Model: 280SEYear: 1971VIN: 1.11026E+13Registration: BHA 636KEstimate - Range: 75,000 - 85,000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)

UK supplied, RHD 1971 280SE 3.5-litre V8 Coupé in excellent orderOnly 3 owners from new. The first was Marie McDonald Mc Laughlin Gibb (Lulu) With our vendor for 38 years. Only two respected marque specialists have cared for it throughout this period Paint refreshed in 2017. Recent work to the fuel system, a new fuel tank, new period-correct, Michelin XWX tyresA very usable example of a timeless classic with the cachet of sixties icon ownership The 3.5-litre version of the 280SE typifies the resurgence of larger-engined Mercedes-Benz models that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the progressive easing of fiscal constraints, which had dissuaded customers from buying cars with large capacity engines, encouraged the German manufacturer to offer bigger, more potent power units. Thus, the ultra-luxurious 280SE Coupé/Cabriolet and 300SEL saloon were the models chosen by Mercedes-Benz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in 1969. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 200bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 125mph with 60mph whispering by in 9.5 seconds, a substantial improvement on the six-cylinder version's figures. Although the equivalent SEL Saloon used the 'New Generation' bodyshell, the Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220SE and, as befitted top-of-the-range luxury models came equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows and stereo radio as standard. Significantly, the 280SE 3.5 was to be the final model to feature this long-established and much-admired body style, and today these last-of-the-line classics are highly sought after by discerning Mercedes-Benz collectors.The most prestigious of the 280SE Coupé and Cabriolet variants is the 3.5 litre V8 model made for just two years from 1969 to 1971, the majority of these in left-hand drive. Offered here is a beautifully original, UK supplied, RHD 1971 280SE Coupé delivered new to Highgate London in August 1971 to a Marie McDonald Mc Laughlin Gibb better known by her stage name Lulu and the then wife of Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. She is internationally identified with hits such as 'Shout', 'To Sir with Love', and Eurovision success with ' Boom Bang-a-Bang''. She also sang the title song to the James Bond movie ''The man with the Golden Gun''. A pop icon for decades and now a leading light in the world of fashion, she was awarded an OBE in 2000 by the Queen and is now known as Lulu Kennedy-Cairns OBE.She kept this Coupé for approximately three years with the second owner, an Arabian businessman domiciled in London, selling it to its present owner, our vendor who has cherished and enjoyed ownership of this significant Mercedes for nearly thirty-eight years. At the time, around Christmas 1981, whilst living in the fashionable West End he noticed the Coupé advertised in the Sunday Times by the exuberant motor trader John Lewis of Heathmans Row/ Kings Road Chelsea. Whilst in our vendor's ownership, a renowned collector of all things Mercedes, the 280SE has been maintained to an excellent standard. Only two respected marque specialists have cared for it throughout his thirty-eight-year ownership. Initially, service work was carried out by Schmitt Automobiles in St John's Wood. After a trip to Germany to have the Behr air conditioning fitted, as per factory installations, Die Autoschmiede undertook a restoration of the underside including both sills and then attended to the steering, ensuring this elegant coupe drives faultlessly today It is still fitted with the original sunroof and with its Becker Mexico radio cassette player and we imagine that Mrs Marie Gibb would frequently have popped in a ' Saturday Night Fever' cassette to listen to her husband Maurice and his brothers.Lightly used over the last few years, the Mercedes benefitted from a paint refresh in 2017 and, prior to the sale, has had work to the fuel system, a new fuel tank, a new set of, period-correct, Michelin XWX tyres, and has been further detailedMotor tax exempt and with a current MoT, this three owner car is a very usable example of a timeless classic with the cachet of sixties icon ownership.

1996 Lamborghini Diablo SV

Well known within Lamborghini circles thanks to its rather apt registration N666 LAMBelieved to be the former Alpine Radio press and show car.Mileage is some 20,000 miles (33,000km) and will be supplied with a fresh MoTHuge history file, two keys, service books and "Registro Lamborghini" paperworkOnly 33 Diablo SVs were sold in the UK, making this 'devilish' car very rare The launch of the Muira in 1966 paved the way for the supercar as we know it today, and Marcello Gandini's penmanship appears almost discreet in comparison to the Muira's successors, the Countach and Diablo. After seventeen years of outrageousness the Countach was finally retired and Gandini's Diablo, although slightly toned down, was launched to the world in Monaco in 1990. The new car was the fastest, most advanced and most expensive Lamborghini ever built. The two-door, rear wheel drive, mid-engined coupé was powered by a 5.7 litre, V12 and about 490 horses dug their hooves into the tarmac resulting in a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. The first Lamborghini since the Muira to be labelled a “Super Veloce”, the Diablo SV was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 1995 and among the more significant changes was an increase in power to 517bhp and better brake cooling. Other SV changes included an adjustable rear spoiler, different lighting, a ducted engine lid, and larger diameter front brakes. According to online sources, only some 33 right-hand drive cars were destined for the UK, and N666 LAM was first registered on the 14th June 1996. It is believed by the vendor that the car was the Alpine Radio Press and Show car, and we are currently trying to confirm this from Alpine themselves. Brochures of the period certainly had a yellow Diablo SV on the cover.Our vendor, an avid collector of Lamborghini, Ferrari and other exotica, purchased N666 LAM in 2014. Although the car was in good order, it had been in long-term storage since 2007 and he retained the services of The Ferrari Centre, Kent to carefully go through the car and service it, with the bill for this attention amounting to £12,300, less than 1,500 kilometres ago. The odometer reading of 33,473 km (all Lamborghinis of this period regardless if UK-supplied were fitted with odometers in kilometres) is warranted by the MoT records. The car is presented to auction freshly painted and sporting new SV decals and is accompanied by its original service book, both keys, and a history file containing bills and invoices, and previous MoTs for those periods when it was not in long-term storage. The car flew through its most recent MoT which expires in September 2019.Few cars command as much road presence as the Diablo and with its low worldwide production numbers, and fewer still UK-supplied examples, this SV hits all the right notes. We welcome any pre-sale inspection so please contact the office should you wish a private viewing.

However, it may never have happened as the model was never meant to go into full production, being the homologation car for Audi in Group 4. The assembly line was set up in Hall N2, not part of the main factory, with just 24 staff working 5 days a week. In fact, there were twice as many staff in the Audi Sport team than there were building the road cars at the time. The resulting model was launched with great excitement at the 1980 Geneva Salon and then released to European customers later the same year. It was initially powered a 2144cc in-line, five-cylinder, 10-valve SOHC unit with turbocharger and intercooler. This was the first time the mass car market had been introduced to the intoxicating combination of turbo power and four-wheel drive, and the results were spectacular. When production started for the '81 'B' chassis model year, Audi totally underestimated the demand for Quattro road cars, particularly at twice the price of an Audi Coupe. As a result of this, the Quattro was to be built in left-hand drive configuration only but the public quickly took to the car, especially from the U.K. even in left-hand drive.Audi was eventually persuaded by the U.K. importer to consider extending production and building right-hand drive models. As this was never planned, 12 prototype pre-production cars were built with features unique to the early 'C' chassis cars; quad headlamps, and different suspension and brakes. The production right-hand drive cars were launched as '83 model 'D' chassis numbers without these items.We are pleased to offer this right-hand drive pre-production prototype, chassis ending #1328, built in June 1982 and first registered on 1st August '82, making it highly likely to be the first factory supplied right-hand drive UK car. Finished in Diamond Silver and supplied through Smithfield of Digbeth, Birmingham, is it thought to be one of just two of these 'C' chassis cars remaining, the other being chassis ending #1333 which lives in Scotland.The previous owner acquired the car in 1997 but did not 'fire up the Quattro' and it sat in storage for the next 20 years until our lucky vendor managed to purchase it from him in August 2016. It was then sent to marque specialist 'Quattro-tech' for extensive recommissioning work which included; a major service including a new cambelt, new starter motor and water pump, front callipers, discs and pads, new suspension top mounts, and a fuel pump. An invoice for this work is included in the file totalling £2,862. In February 2017 a new stainless steel exhaust system was fitted at the Quattro Workshop amounting to £717. To improve its aesthetic look and bring it back to its former glory, a new rear apron was purchased directly from Audi Tradition and the car was fully stripped back to bare metal and resprayed in its original colour. The resulting invoice for this work totals more than £11,600. Now in splendid condition, the car was featured on the Quattro Owners Club stand at the London Classic Car Show in 2018, which was only its second time in public for 20 years. It was also magazine featured in 1991 in an article about the early right-hand drive Quattro's.Now showing 71,853 miles on the odometer, the history file includes the most recent invoices whilst in our vendors care, full photographic records of the respray, some old MoTs and an Instruction Manual.

Superb, left-hand drive, 250 SL sparkling after a complete restorationRepainted from bare metal, new panels where necessary, new floorpan, full engine rebuild, gearbox servicedDashboard refurbished. Original leather interior professionally restored. New factory soft top Good photographic history file of restoration without invoices. A really lovely 'Pagoda' Introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, the W113 SL-series is a two-seater Mercedes-Benz convertible with a distinctive concave hard top which led to the affectionate nickname of "Pagoda", a term still used today. All models featured an inline 6-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection and the cubic capacity indicated by the number preceding the SL badge.The same show in 1967 coincidentally, saw the introduction of the W113-250SL. The new car retained the stiffer suspension and sporty feel of the earlier cars, but provided improved agility with its larger(2.5Ltr.) engine and was now fitted with rear disc brakes and a larger tank. They were offered with a 4-speed Automatic transmission or a 4/5-speed ZF manual gearbox. Production ended in January 1968 and its one-year production run makes the 250SL the rarest of the W113 series. This left-hand drive, 250 SL is fresh from a complete restoration. Imported by our private vendor a few years ago from the USA, the car has just been thoroughly restored and repainted from bare metal with all bills available in the car's history file. The work was finished this year and the SL is now ready to be enjoyed without the workload or expense of getting it done yourself. The work at a Mercedes-Benz specialist included new panels where necessary, a new floorpan, new factory soft top, a full engine rebuild, gearbox check and service, all wood on the dashboard top refurbished, and the original leather interior professionally restored.The car drives extremeley well, has a history file with all bills and photographs of the work carried out, and looks extremely smart in its original colour scheme of Silver with a Black factory hard top.Sensibly priced, at a fraction of the costs incurred, this classic little Pagoda offers extremely good value for money.

Supplied with UK V5c and history file8.4-litres of Black Magic Introduced in 2008, Dodge added a track-focused Viper to the lineup. The 'American Club Racer' or ACR for short was fitted with a host of performance extras including; a carbon-fibre rear wing, a revised carbon front splitter giving the car greater downforce, 2-way adjustable KW suspension, a front roll stabiliser bar, forged aluminium 'Sidewinder Wheels' and StopTech 2-piece slotted discs with Brembo calipers all around. Like many manufacturers before them, Dodge opted to rid the interior of any creature comforts to shed weight and best utilise the engine's performance. There was also an option - the 'hardcore package' which meant deletion of the radio, speakers under bonnet silencer, boot carpet, and tyre inflator. The result was most impressive and a Viper ACR even clocked a record time of 7min 22secs at the manufacturers favourite circuit - the Nordschleife Nurburgring.To celebrate the end of the production run in 2010, Dodge announced several special-edition ACR Vipers, one of which was the 'Voodoo Edition' which included special black paint with red stripes and a unique interior and steering wheel.

1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupé

Lot # 340 (Sale Order: 40 of 51)

Make: JaguarYear: 1953VIN: S680579Registration: 158 UYOEngine - Displacement: 3400Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 60,000 - 70,000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)

Striking FHC in a lovely colour combination Long-term single UK ownership Ground-up restoration over a number of yearsDesirable manual gearbox modelBelieved matching-numbersThe XK120 debuted at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show where the breathtaking roadster caused a sensation with the resulting demand, for what was then the world's fastest production car, taking Jaguar by surprise. The elegant shape was the work of Jaguar boss William Lyons himself, probably based on a few simple lines drawn on a breakfast napkin as were so many of his design ideas, and brought to life by the talented team in Jaguar's Drawing Office many of whom had only recently been been designing nose cones and wing shapes for WWII fighter aircraft. Jaguar expected to sell no more than 200 XK120s in the first year, a volume that wouldn't justify producing tooling for presses, so coachbuilt aluminium was the construction of choice. With bulging order books it quickly became clear that the labour-intensive alloy bodywork would have to go, and the car was swiftly re-engineered in steel. In a matter of weeks, in conjunction with the Pressed Steel Fisher Company, a new all-steel panelled body was developed, which retained the fabulous looks of the coachbuilt original whilst differing in minor external details. The car's heart was, of course, the fabulous XK engine, a 3.4-litre 'six' embodying the best of modern design, boasting twin overhead camshafts running in an aluminium-alloy cylinder head, seven main bearings, and a maximum output of 160bhp. The XK120 set new standards of comfort, roadholding and performance for a British sports car and, in keeping with the Jaguar tradition, there was nothing to touch it at the price. Once Jaguar had caught up with XK120 Roadster demand and production of steel-bodied examples was running smoothly, it developed a Coupé to widen the model's appeal. Aside from the addition of a roof, the biggest difference between this and the Roadster is the use of a, mostly steel, floorpan in place of plywood. The car presented here is a 1953 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe (FHC), specified new with the desirable manual gearbox. According to the car's accompanying Heritage Certificate, it was a left-hand drive US-spec car, finished in Black with a Red interior and was completed on the 2nd January 1953 before being despatched to Jaguar's legendary New York distributor, Max Hoffman. It was fitted with a manual gearbox which was unusual in a car destined for America. From the Heritage Certificate and physical inspection, the car is thought to retain its matching-numbers status. As an engineer and car enthusiast, our vendor has overseen many thorough Jaguar restorations over the years, enjoying a long relationship with the marque. Now back in the UK, this particular XK120 was acquired as a 'project' back in 1994 and did require extensive restoration, but this did not deter our resourceful vendor. Using his own skills and those of numerous specialists, he set about a real 'ground-up' renewal of the chassis, bodywork, and mechanicals (all of which is captured in multiple photographs – a few of which are published here). Due to his advancing years, and possibly enjoying the restoration 'journey' more than the end result, the car is now offered for sale. It's a genuinely useable example, restored thoroughly and presented to a fair standard, perhaps requiring some minor 'finishing-off' and some additional 'shake-down' miles under its wheels (it has only covered around 50 miles since completion). The mechanicals all appear to be well re-engineered, having been fully refurbished and sounding/running as they should. There is a real purity of design to the XK120, and something quite distinctive and more purposeful about the Coupé over the more commonplace Roadster, especially a standard model on steel wheels, with no spats and a manual box - a drivers' XK120 if you like. Here is a very solid example from long-term ownership, offered at a very tempting guide price.

1974 Lamborghini Espada Series III

One owner from new until 2018The most desirable Espada, a Series III before the arrival of impact bumpers3.9-litre V12. 321bhp. Manual gearbox, power steering and air-conditioningFinished in gleaming Black Cherry. The engine bay is a work of art'Spaceship' four-seat interior in Magenta leather and Crushed Cranberry velourComprehensive history file with the original owner's manuals. Original spare wheel and tool kit Named after a Matador's sword, the Espada was styled along lines similar to those of the stillborn, rear-engined, six-cylinder Marzal but carried its 4.0-litre, four-cam V12 up front. The latter - first seen in the 400GT and used also by the contemporary Islero - produced 325bhp, an output sufficient to propel the distinctive, Bertone-styled coupé to 150mph. Islero running gear was employed but wedded to a platform-type, semi-monocoque chassis rather than the former's tubular frame. Introduced in January 1970, the Series II cars came with an extra 25bhp, 155mph top speed, an improved dashboard layout and the option of power-assisted steering. The dashboard was revised yet again in late 1972 for the Series III, which also incorporated power steering as standard, up-rated brakes, minor suspension improvements and a restyled front grille. Espada production ceased in 1978 after 1,225 of these imposing cars had been built. The Factory production record in the History File confirms that this Series III Espada was manufactured in 1976 with Build Number 1176, and sold by its authorised dealer in Arizona in December 1976. As the 1176th Espada built from a total of 1,225 cars, it is the fiftieth from last. It is, however, registered on the USA Certificate of Title as produced in 1974, this being a common practice by European manufacturers to overcome the idiosyncrasies of the American Federal and State-specific registration requirements. In this case, given that the rubber bumpers introduced in 1976 were an anathema to most owners, this example is to Euro specification and hence registered by the Lamborghini importing dealer as of 1974 production.Finished in Black Cherry with a Burgundy interior, this is a one owner car and remained with its original Colorado owner until 2018. He was a very wealthy man and kept the Espada and his car collection in the same hangar as his private planes, the car being maintained by his highly-qualified aero mechanics using Lamborghini parts. It remained in Colorado throughout its life, was used sparingly only under ideal road conditions, and records just 26,000 miles. The car has been retrofitted with an electronic ignition system, a high torque starter motor, and braided fuel lines, all reflecting the engineering philosophy of the aircraft mechanics who maintained the car. The History File includes a summary of the maintenance and servicing performed on the car, and a number of invoices including those for Factory parts sourced from GT Cars of Phoenix Arizona, the official Lamborghini dealer for the region. Recent maintenance includes an overhaul of the transmission, rebuilding the cylinder heads, and the car was fully serviced by the Classic Workshop Ltd in Bicester during August 2018 at a cost of £4,668.The Espada is supplied with its:Original tool kit, jack, and spare wheel (still with its original Michelin tyre),original Sales Brochure, original Owners Handbook, original and very rare Factory Guarantee pamphlet recording its first service in 1977 with just 1,970 miles, a Parts Manual, original Alpine Stereo handbook and, pleasingly, an original pair of Lamborghini Cologne leather-bound flasks.All Espadas have a sense of drama, in fact, I think they look more dramatic today than when we first saw one 48 years ago. Obviously over their eight years in production, although the shape hardly changed, they developed significantly mechanically which makes the later SeriesIII cars the better bet. This is indeed a rare find. A Series III with one owner, 26,000 dry miles, treated like a baby by aero engineers, and with all its original paperwork etc would seem like a tall order, but here it is.

Imported into the UK early 2018Comprehensive history. Lovely. Unrestored and unmolestedIn 1980, Renault introduced their new R5 Turbo as a pure homologation special to compete in 'Group 4' racing and international rallies. The 5 Turbo was based on the production Renault 5 Alpine, but Renault Sport engineers scrapped the standard front-engine, front wheel drive layout in favour of a mid-engine, rear drive setup. In 1981, Jean Ragnotti and his co-driver Jean-Marc Andrie won the Monte Carlo Rally outright for Renault, and the following year Ragnotti won the Tour de Corse. In 1984, 'Group B' homologation was sought for the Renault Maxi 5 Turbo to enable it to contest the World Rally Championship and the following year, Ragnotti added another Tour de Corse win with the Maxi 5 turbo. After the first batch of 400 road cars had been made to satisfy 'Group 4' homologation volume requirements, a second generation, known as the 'Turbo 2' was to follow.This extremely low mileage example was supplied new by Sun International in California to Don Marsh, the well-known racer and car collector. He bought two at the same time, a Black one and this Bordeaux (Maroon) car which was fitted with the Factory Stage 2 185 bhp upgrade (larger intercooler and wastegate shim) prior to delivery. Don used the car for an occasional blast in the California sunshine and kept it until 1998 when it was purchased by a fellow collector with 7,200 miles (11,600km) on the clock. When he took possession, he removed the factory seats, wheels, steering wheel, and pedals to preserve them and avoid wear, and they were reinstated when he sold the car in 2017 prior to it being imported to the UK in early 2018.The very smart Bordeaux exterior retains the original soft sponge roofline spoilers, plastic intake ducts, fog and headlamps and the Beige interior is in excellent condition with authentic seats, steering wheel and luggage straps. The car sits on the original Turbine Alloy Wheels with Michelin TRX tyres and the correct Gotti steel spare wheel remains unused. To make the driving experience a little more civilised the car has been updated with an Alpine Digital Receiver, Bilstein Adjustable Shock Absorbers, and a bespoke Aluminium Exhaust. Other than these modern updates, the Turbo 2 remains mainly true to its roots. The Renault is complete with a large History File including original Sun International documentation, Invoices, Parts Manual, Workshop Manual, 2018 Export and Import documentation, HPI and Carfax Reports, UK V5, and an MoT valid until January 2019.Thinly disguised, road-going rally cars of this nature tend to lead a hard life and it is very rare that a Turbo 2 will have belonged to a couple of considerate collectors from new and come to market unrestored and unsullied.

Thousands of Type 2s were partly built under license in Brazil only to be taken apart and shipped in kit-form to South Africa where they were re-assembled, finished and sold. It seems a strange arrangement, however, presumably there must have been some financial benefit to both countries. South African built Type 2s, particularly those that remained in the country for many years, are popular worldwide as restoration projects, the dry climate resulting in much less chassis and floorpan deteriorationThis particular pick-up was imported to the UK from South Africa in 2015 still wearing its original Green and White and was purchased, in January 2016, by Buckinghamshire-based, independent classic Porsche specialists, Export 56. Established for over 25 years they have become one of the UK's leading practitioners in the restoration and preservation of classic Porsches. They were in the market for a small pick-up truck as loading engines, body sections etc is so much easier onto a flatbed and, specialising in early air-cooled German cars, a Volkswagen was the preferred choice.Although the little truck was in great condition, showing little sign of rust and no accident damage, it would regularly be seen by customers and represent the company, so it was important that it looked the part and effectively became a shop window for their restoration skills. In July 2016 the pick up underwent a major renovation that took around 12 months. The body was fully stripped and some metalwork was replaced but the truck was basically very sound. The engine, brakes, suspension and running gear were fully rebuilt/restored using existing parts where possible and new/old stock when not. It was fitted with a brand new interior, steering wheel, door frames and handles. All the lighting, external trim, and detail parts were new also as it was important that the company's renowned attention to detail was evident in their little truck. A new weatherproof top and frame were sourced and the flatbed was 'rubberised'. The vehicle is currently powered by a 1600cc type 2 engine which produces a healthy 70bhp. When it was ready, it was carefully prepared, painted in Dark Green and White, and finished in Export56/Porsche livery.When your business is restoring old German bodywork and then painting it to a showroom standard, then your company vehicles need to reflect this level of quality and this little pick-up certainly does that. Overall it's in spectacular condition and we understand, drives "perfectly".This is a wonderful period motorsport support vehicle or an ideal business promotion tool turning heads wherever it goes.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of their legendary Camaro in 1967, Chevrolet announced a special commemorative edition. It was to be called the "Fifty", was available on both the LT and SS models, and was introduced in the Summer of 2017. The majority of the cars were finished in a unique Nightfall Grey exterior colour with an orange stripe package and the interiors were black with suede accents and orange contrast stitching. The interior also featured the 50th-anniversary logo on the seatbacks, steering wheel, and illuminated door sill plates. In addition, 50th-anniversary models sat on 20" wheels with orange-painted brake calipers and a bespoke grille with satin chrome accents. This 2017, left-hand drive Camaro SS 'Fifty' has covered just 2,618 miles and is in remarkable condition. It's been in the UK from new and is registered here with all taxes paid etc. It is indeed finished in Nightfall Grey with the special-edition interior.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of their legendary Camaro in 1967, Chevrolet announced a special commemorative edition. It was to be called the "Fifty", was available on both the LT and SS models, and was introduced in the Summer of 2017. The majority of the cars were finished in a unique Nightfall Grey exterior colour with an orange stripe package and the interiors were black with suede accents and orange contrast stitching. The interior also featured the 50th-anniversary logo on the seatbacks, steering wheel, and illuminated door sill plates. In addition, 50th-anniversary models sat on 20" wheels with orange-painted brake calipers and a bespoke grille with satin chrome accents. This 2017, left-hand drive Camaro SS 'Fifty' has covered just 2,618 miles and is in remarkable condition.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 600SL (R129)

Introduction year 600SL R129 with the desirable 389 bhp 6.0-litre V12 engine One owner and showing a believed genuine 6,831 miles on the odometer Finished in Metallic Red over a beige leather interior Will be serviced at a Mercedes-Benz main dealer prior to the sale In 1989, Mercedes Benz introduced the fourth generation of their sporting SL model, the R129, which was supplied in Europe with several engine options and named accordingly. Basic models were the 190hp three-litre, inline six-cylinder 300SL with 12 valves and the 228hp, three-litre, inline six cylinder with 24 valves, known as the 300SL-24, but it was the 322hp 500SL with a five-litre V8 engine, which made the headlines. The specification was high with electric windows, mirrors, seats and roof. The R129 model was the first convertible/roadster to offer the automatic roll-bar deployment in event of a rollover, although the motorist could also manually raise and lower the roll-bar should he choose to thus facilitating the clean look of the R129 without compromising the occupant's safety. A 389hp, 6-litre V12 engined SL600 topped the range, introduced in 1992 as the 600SL, it was then re-named the SL600 in 1994.This early 600SL was supplied new in December 1992 through Mercedes-Benz in Colindale, London to a Royal Household – the current owner and our vendor. Finished in a beautiful red metallic over a beige leather interior, the car is also accompanied by its body colour matching hardtop. A service book included in the file records two stamps, but due to the nature of ownership, all maintenance has been carried out either in-house or locally. This stunning car has not been overused in the past 26 years and shows just 6,831 miles on the odometer. Although we can't warrant this mileage, we do believe it to be correct and commensurate with its single ownership and condition. Prior to the sale, the car will be serviced at a Mercedes-Benz Main dealer and will be sold with a fresh MoT. As the years go by R129s are becoming less plentiful and one or two models within the range are becoming quite scarce. The 600SL V12 is amongst those and this smart example, on offer for the very first time in its life, will certainly attract some interest.

Supplied new to Cincinnati and will need to be UK registered (NOVA Reference)Good history including original Owner's Manuals and original Bill of Sale Will need some paint and a little TLC but guided accordingly. Eminently usable as is Designed by Tom Tjaarda, and built by Ghia, the Pantera was launched in 1970 and subsequently updated in 1973 to the Pantera Lusso (Luxury). It was powered by a mid-mounted 300bhp, Ford 351 cubic inch V8 Cleveland engine, mated to a five-speed ZF transaxle. With power-assisted disc brakes on all four wheels, rack and pinion steering, and dramatic good looks, this was a 1970's supercar capable of a top speed of just under 160 MPH and, at the time of launch, a 0-60 mph time of just 5.5 seconds.The history file accompanying this very interesting car confirms that it was in single ownership from registration in 1975 until 2014. Originally purchased by Ernie Whittaker in February 1975 on behalf of his 21-year-old nephew, Bob Evans, it was subject to a financial agreement between them, and when that was settled in 1978, the title passed to Bob. In the aforementioned history file are the sale agreement, loan agreement, paying-in book, and pictures of Bob with the car in 1975 when he was 21. Due to his age, his uncle had put the finance in his name until paid off by Bob.The original bill of sale confirms that this special car was originally ordered with air conditioning, magnesium sports wheels, 351-4V engine, 5-speed transmission, power disc brakes, electric windows, tinted glass and full instrumentation at a total cost of $11,753.26 including sales tax.#THPNND06705 was acquired by our Jersey-based vendor in 2016 and, with just over 24,000 miles on the clock, looks to be in very original condition indeed. The interior is excellent but the Pantera's exterior is starting to show its age with faded paint and cracks in a number of areas. There are some blemishes to the bodywork particularly the passenger door, rear right-hand corner, bonnet, and the front of the car - as you might expect from a 44-year old car that has never been restored. Our vendor reports that mechanically the car performs well following a recent engine recommission, which included new exhaust headers, carburettors and a starter motor and the brakes are excellent having just had all the callipers professionally refurbished with new pads all round. The De Tomaso is supplied with the original Bill of Sale, loan agreement, copy US Title docs, the owner's manual, delivery mileage certificate, various receipts, photographs of the first owner with the car, a UK MoT and its NOVA reference.

Originally supplied by Monarch of Birmingham and only 55,000 miles from newSuperbly presented in Aqua Blue over Cream Leather and AMG rimsComprehensive history file with original book packFactory hardtop with the expensive panoramic roof optionLaunched at the 1989 Geneva Motorshow, the R129-Series Mercedes-Benz were far more sporting than the outgoing W107-Series and incorporated a whole range of new technology. The fully automatic convertible roof, sophisticated multi-link suspension, ABS, and automatic roll-bar deployment were all major strides forward 29 years ago. At the top of the range sat the 500SL which was used to debut Mercedes-Benz' new 4-valves per cylinder technology. Coupled with twin overhead camshafts and variable valve timing, these 4973cc engines produced around 326bhp giving the car a top speed well in excess of 150mph and 0 - 60mph took just 6.3 seconds. The car was as refined as it was fast. 1994 brought a facelift to the R129 which included revisions to the headlights, rear lights, and automatic climate control. This was also the year when Mercedes changed their model naming strategy with the 'SL' now moved to the front of the number meaning the 500SL became the SL500.This particular right-hand drive Mercedes-Benz SL500 is finished in the delightful shade of Aqua Blue Metallic with a Mushroom leather interior and Burr Walnut trim. When it was ordered the options list was obviously well-ticked and the car is comprehensively equipped including an expensive panoramic roof and 18-inch AMG alloy wheels. It has been enjoyed by three former keepers and has only covered 55,000 miles from new.It comes with a comprehensive history file with many receipts and a service book with Mercedes main dealer stamps and has its original book pack with manuals and even the original supplying dealers number plates.This is a lovely original unmolested SL in a really pretty colour combination and is an excellent choice if you are looking for a future classic that's eminently usable, fun to drive, and hopefully, a decent investment.

A desirable UK right-hand drive Elan S4 drophead coupeComprehensively restored by the vendor over past 6 years Supplied with a UK V5c, invoices and specialist booksBarely driven since rebuild, so will need a period of 'running in'In 1962 Lotus launched a legend, the new and ground-breaking Lotus Elan. Following on from the Elite, the new car offered improved handling and better performance. Below the bonnet sat a new 1558cc, twin-cam four-cylinder engine which would become a legend in its own right, powering other classic Lotus models including, of course, the Cortina.''To say that driving the Elan is immense fun is almost an understatement. It is a car which keeps young men young and makes old men younger...'' 'Motor'The savvy engineering didn't stop with the engine, the Lotus Elan also features a very strong steel backbone chassis on which is mounted, like a saddle, a GRP body plus 4-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension all round. It's not a coincidence that the Elan has enjoyed significant success in motorsport and this is still evident by the large numbers currently involved in historic racing. Production volume of the Elan S4 was about 3,000 cars in total.This particular car is a 1970 Lotus Elan S4 Drophead Coupe finished in Lotus Yellow with a black interior. In 1982 the car was taken off the road to be renovated, however, it would appear the task was too great for the owner at the time and it was sold to another chap in Ealing, who then moved to Cornwall and took the car with him. A busy career and the arrival of children meant the little Lotus remained dismantled, however, our vendor successfully purchased the Elan six years ago and has since spent the time restoring it to its former glory.The body was removed from the chassis and stripped to its gel coat, repairing imperfections and re-laminating where required and the underside treated with Body Shutz for stone protection, before sealing and painting with a two-pack solid Lotus Yellow (L07). A new Lotus chassis was sought and galvanised before painting black. The suspension was reconditioned whilst the brakes were completely renewed to include; new discs, callipers, pads, brakes lines, braided Goodridge hoses and a new servo.The original engine was re-bored and fitted with forged pistons and the crank re-ground before the engine reassembled with a new water pump, fuel pump, oil pump, core plugs, and a new clutch. The gearbox and differential, were sent away to a specialist for reconditioning as required. Engine cooling was attended to with a new heavy-duty radiator and hoses whilst the engine breathing benefitted from a new full stainless steel exhaust system.The interior was fully re-upholstered, new carpets fitted, new doors seals and rubbers as well as a new hood and a Colin Chapman steering wheel. There are many other new items on this beautiful car, perhaps too many to list.Supplied with a V5c and a file of invoices from marque specialists such as Paul Matty, along with photographic records of the whole restoration, this Elan will require a running-in period as it has barely been used since being put back on the road.After many hours of hard graft, this Elan is now looking fantastic and is a great example of a lovely sixties classic, which is both a fun, sunny-day convertible and a thoroughbred sports car with unrivalled handling.

One solution was to transplant the Austin Healey's long-serving, 3-litre engine into the MG B engine bay. This would require some substantial changes to the underside of the 'B' meaning that when the MG C, as it became known, went into production it had much more sophisticated underpinnings compared to the MG B, and with the seven main bearing, straight-six mounted up-front, performance was substantially improved over its sibling.From verbal and photographic evidence unearthed, the contention is that LBL 412D, chassis number #GCD 11111 is the earliest MGC GT pre-production development car and the first line-built, home market MGC GT, the build commencing on 3rd November 1966. The registration number LBL 412D was definitely attached to the car that was used by BMC's Competition Department for brake dynamometer testing at the Motor Industry Research Association's track facility to establish some datum power output figures for the new MGC.Chassis GCD 11111 was completed to the following specification:Metal SLV BU/BLK (Riviera Silver Blue metallic with black trim); automatic transmission - the first and only automatic GT development car; home market spec, wire wheels, Dunlop SP radials, and MPH speedometer.A copy of the 1970's continuation log book shows that the engine size was amended to 3528cc which would suggest that the ubiquitous Rover V8 engine was fitted as it had been to a couple of MGB Roadsters a few years earlier. (The one I drove had an Austin-Healey badge on the front and was badged Austin-Healey 4000 on the rear). The car was later reunited with a 2912 cc engine, this time with a manual/overdrive transmission. Following a full restoration by JD Classics, LBL 412D featured on the cover of a US Healey Club magazine in 1990.Kept in good health, much work on the car has been carried out in recent years including restoration of the bodywork and a repaint in its original livery of metallic silver blue, complete refurbishment of the interior with black leather piped in light blue with black carpets and trim, and renewal of the chrome and external brightwork and fittings, though certain areas of the bodywork are now showing a little sign of ageing. The car's previous owner was Justin Law, historic Jaguar racing driver. Offered with good sized history file including invoices for the parts supplied for restoration, copies of old log books, its British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, and the well-thumbed V5.

An excellent example of a genuine, original UK-supplied, Series IIRight-hand drive, manual gearbox, 2+2 FHCMatching numbers. Six previous keepers and 81,000 milesGood history file containing MoTs dating back to 1975, Tax discs, invoices etc.Some cars need no introduction and the Jaguar E-Type is no exception. The Series II cars that were produced from 1969 to 1971 can be identified by their open headlights, no longer with glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper with the tail lights now underneath, and the front indicators were larger and similarly repositioned below the slightly heavier front bumpers. The cooling was much improved helped by the enlarged 'mouth'. Series II cars also feature twin electric fans and uprated brakes. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smoothly polished cam covers to a ribbed appearance.The Series II was initially produced as an Open Two Seater (OTS) or two-seat Fixed Head Coupé (FHC) but by the mid-1960s, the high demand for the car prompted Jaguar to offer a third option, for the driver with a young family, in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort and perfect for children. The longer wheelbase also had the added benefit of allowing Jaguar to mate a Borg-Warner automatic transmission to the 4.2-litre engine, thereby further widening the appeal of the model. This is an excellent original example of a genuine UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox with matching numbers 1969 E-Type 2+2 with only six former keepers.Smartly presented in the classic colour combination of Carmen Red with a black leather interior and wire wheels. the car appears to be in very good condition with bright paintwork and excellent shut-lines. It further benefits from a stainless steel exhaust system and a Webasto folding sunroof also in great condition. The odometer indicates a recorded mileage of 80,500, which is supported by MoT Certificates dating back to 1975, and the mileage in November 2005 was 79,062 as recorded in the MoT history, so it would appear that between November 2005 and September 2018, the Jaguar only covered a total of 1,438 miles. Our vendor advises us that this beautiful car drives well and sounds healthy.Accompanied by its history file, fresh MoT, and Heritage Certificate, this very useable E-Type offers everything you'd want from such an iconic model, with the bonus of a couple of extra seats, and is presented at a very realistic guide price compared to other similar matching-numbers offerings.
