Lot #3 (Sale Order 64 of 207)

This smart looking right-hand drive example is a notably late MKII being registered in early 1967. Sporting Green bodywork matched to a Black vinyl interior 'EFB 303E' has been extensively restored over 2012/2013 by the current retired engineer vendor.

BMW Isetta 300

Lot #10 (Sale Order 71 of 207)

Microcars (or bubble cars as they are popularly known) were born of the need for cheap short-distance transportation in the post-WW2 years. The most successful of the breed was the Isetta, whose origins lay with the Italian firm of Iso SpA (Isetta is Italian for little Iso'), but which was adopted and largely redesigned by BMW. The 300 (298cc) version was introduced in 1956. 568 COX' is a delightful-looking example finished in Red. It has benefited from being restored and the interior re-trimmed and has evidently been used regularly but sparingly' in recent times. Offered with history file consisting of an original owner's handbook and printed maintenance manual, continuation green log book, invoices, notes on work carried out and various copies of the Isseta owners gazette more recently the Isseta has received new big and small ends to the crank in 2014. Being sold complete with sunroof the Isetta currently displays an unwarranted 28,574 miles.

Bentley S2 Saloon

Lot #11 (Sale Order 72 of 207)

The Bentley S1 was basically a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud behind the distinctive 'Flying B' radiator grille, and was the last of the marque to employ the company's venerable 150bhp 4.9-litre straight-six engine. It comprised a separate chassis and body, thereby facilitating the manufacture of coachbuilt versions. However, the vast majority of S1s were delivered with the 'Standard Steel' option that featured alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid. Greatly improved performance arrived with the S2 model of 1959, courtesy of a new 6.2-litre aluminium V8 engine. This raised the top speed to 114mph and substantially enhanced the acceleration. Power steering became standard. The S2 being sold is resplendent in a fresh covering of Smoke Green over Sage Green paintwork. The Green hide interior is, however, original and, at the vendor's admission, now looking 'slightly tired'. He further informs us that 'B158DW' 'runs and drives well' and that the Bentley's odometer currently stands at an unwarranted 81,376 miles.

Riley 12/6 Kestrel

Lot #12 (Sale Order 73 of 207)

The 12/6 was manufactured between 1932 and 1935 and offered with a whole range of different bodies, of which the Kestrel four-door Saloon was arguably the most practical, and the sale car an example. 'VY 4240' is finished in Cream over Black complemented by a Black fabric-covered roof and Tan-coloured leather interior trim. It is powered by a 'Special Series' triple carburettor version of the six-cylinder engine that drives through an 'all helical' four-speed manual gearbox. It was apparently restored in 2008 and then dry stored until now. It has recently been recommissioned with a fresh set of Blockley tyres and inner tubes. The vendor now regards the bodywork (complete with sliding sunroof), paintwork and interior trim as 'excellent', and the 12hp engine and transmission as 'very good'. He is selling this charming and rare Riley complete with tool kit, owners' manuals and a degree of history.

Jaguar XK150 S 3.8 Litre Fixed Head Coupe

Lot #14 (Sale Order 75 of 207)

For many the ultimate XK150 variant, the 3.8 litre S model became available in late 1959. Topped by a straight-port cylinder head and fed via triple SU 2-inch caburettors, its straight-six DOHC engine was rated at 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Equipped with four-speed manual plus overdrive as standard, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 141mph. Jaguar's performance flagship until the E-Type arrived, the XK150 S 3.8 could be had in Roadster, Drophead Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe guises. However, just 111 of the latter are thought to have been made to right-hand drive specification.A 'home market' car that was first road registered on 17th November 1959, chassis T825056DN is understood to have been extensively campaigned from the 1960s through to the 1990s and was particularly successful in the hands of amongst others Dave Preece. Featured on the front cover of 'Collector's Car' magazine (May 1980) in full race trim, the Jaguar still sports a Monza-style external fuel filler cap, heavily louvered bonnet and leather-trimmed bucket seats. The subject of recent documented restoration work including a full bare metal respray in 2014, the Fixed Head Coupe plays host to a replacement XK 3.8 litre DOHC engine (complete with straight-port cylinder head and triple SU carburettors). Presently prepared for fast road or mild competition usage (most recently at the Mdina Grand Prix), this rare Jaguar can easily be returned to full FIA race specification. Highly eligible for many prestigious events because of its history and inherent desirability as a XK150 S 3.8 litre, '6007 RE' is offered for sale with V5C Registration, photo restoration record and sundry paperwork.

Morgan Aero

Lot #15 (Sale Order 76 of 207)

Progressively developed from 1909, HFS Morgan's ingenious Three-Wheeler ultimately played host to a variety of JAP, Matchless, Blackburne, Anzani and Ford powerplants. The Aero derivative soon became a favourite among sporting motorists, and with stark bodywork, impressive power-to-weight ratio and nimble handling was capable of embarrassing far more expensive machinery. Initially equipped with 980cc JAP V-twin side-valve engine allied to two-speed manual transmission, it continued to evolve until production ceased in 1933. The sale car is a 1929 example finished in Blue and trimmed in Black. It was treated to a chassis-up restoration by its previous keeper, James Jukes of Berkhamsted, which was completed the year before the vendor acquired the sporty Three-Wheeler in 2007. The Morgan has since travelled just 2,000 miles and is now being offered with the benefit of a new clutch thrust bearing, modern alternator, and tonneau and tailored car covers, and is claimed to 'go like the hammers of hell'!

Triumph Stag

Lot #16 (Sale Order 77 of 207)

Considering this eye-catching Stag was restored in 1991, it appears to remain in supreme order, and is considered by the vendor to still have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and manual overdrive gearbox. It is finished in a tasteful shade of Dark Blue and trimmed in Black, and it is clear from the related paperwork and total cost of c.£26,000 that the restoration was extremely thorough. Carried out by Tudor Classics of Worsley, Nr Manchester, it began with a total strip, following which the bare body was sandblasted before being repaired with numerous new panels. The major mechanical components were also all stripped to the last nut and bolt and reassembled with replacement parts as required. Once completed, 'LPH 369P' must have been as new. It is now offered with fresh (but unfitted) hood and frame, hard top, and a large collection of invoices and old MOTs; plus one valid to April 26, 2016.

Austin-Healey 'Frogeye' Sprite

Lot #17 (Sale Order 78 of 207)

This delightful little Frogeye hails from the first year of production. It was comprehensively restored from 'barn find' condition by a previous keeper who, even valuing his time at a very modest £15 per hour, reckons the project, including parts and a professional repaint, totalled c.£44,000. Though back on the road by 2007, the Sprite has since travelled just 1,100 miles, so is understandably considered by the vendor to still be in 'good' order throughout. The refurbishment work included a number improvements to the original specification, including: 1098cc A Series engine; disc front brakes; SU electric fuel pump; alternator; later, stronger 'ribbed' gearbox; Minilite wheels; and wood rim steering wheel. 'WCD 482', which is believed to have had just three owners since 1973, is now offered complete with a seven-sided report on the restoration, plus photographic evidence; a Vehicle Condition Advice Report carried out by Classis Assessments in 2010 on behalf of the most recent purchaser.

Hillman 14hp Saloon

Lot #18 (Sale Order 79 of 207)

Had it not been for Hillman's 14 model, it is doubtful if the company would have survived long enough to be taken over by Humber in 1928. It evolved from the 1327cc 9 model that had established Hillman as a recognised motor manufacturer, and featured: a 1953cc four-cylinder engine with detachable cylinder head; conventional four-speed non-synchromesh gearbox with righthand change; four-wheel cable operated brakes; and suspension by semi-elliptic springs all-round. The cost new in 1926, complete with Saloon body, would have been c.£345. Approximately 11,000 examples of the 14 were produced between 1925 and 1930. This delightful four-door Saloon version was tested and much enjoyed by The Automobile magazine in April 2002, at which time the Hillman belonged to a Sally Rossiter. The identity of the coachbuilder is uncertain, but thought to be Charlesworth. 'CJ 8772' is finished in a shade of Deep Blue and trimmed in Black. A very affordable, usable representative of the vintage era.

Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupe

Lot #19 (Sale Order 80 of 207)

- Current ownership since 1991 and matching numbers'515 YYA' is an apparently very original, matching numbers home market Coupe that was manufactured on June 8, 1964. The car's history file confirms the supplying dealer to have been Crouch & Son of Ilmins

Austin-Healey 3000 MKII

Lot #20 (Sale Order 81 of 207)

The prototype 'Big' Healey was the sensation of the 1952 London Motorshow. Once in production it enjoyed steady development, with the original four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was followed by the first of the 3000s in 1959 and the MKII 3000 in 1961. Readily identified by its new grille and bonnet air intake, the MKII was still offered in both two-seater (BN7) and four-seater (BT7) guises. Power was increased to 132bhp, courtesy of three 1.5 inch SUs on separate inlet manifolds. Of the 355 examples built, most went to the USA - only a small percentage was equipped with RHD for the home market.The lefthand drive BT7 MKII now offered was supplied new to the USA in 1962. The bodywork is finished in classic British Racing Green, the four-seat interior trimmed in Black, and the Healey benefits from having a Works-style hardtop. It rides on wide section colour-keyed wire wheels and the car's muscular appearance is further enhanced by a side exit exhaust system and the replacement of the front bumper with a pair of large driving/fog lights, and the rear one by a couple of substantial over-riders. The triple carburettor engine drives through a four-speed overdrive gearbox. The disc/drum braking system has recently been refurbished and a servo installed. The vendor informs us that 'the Healey's paint and panel fit are A1, the responsiveness of the engine is a revelation, and the car goes and sounds as good as it looks - it wants to be driven fast'!From the outset, the 'Big' Healey proved to be a fine competition car and just taking 1961, the year the sale car was made, as an example Works versions: achieved outright victory on the Alpine Rally; and class wins in the Tulip, Acropolis, Liege-Rome-Liege, RAC and Tour de Corse events.

Lotus Elan +2S

Lot #21 (Sale Order 82 of 207)

Lotus first applied the Elan name to its small Ron Hickman-designed two-seat Roadster of 1962. It comprised a steel backbone chassis clothed in a lightweight fiberglass body. Power came from a 1,558cc Cosworth twin-cam version of Ford's ubiquitous 'Kent' engine. With independent suspension all round and four wheel disc brakes, the Elan was both light and nimble. It was, however, lacking in space and in June 1967 Lotus introduced another Hickman masterpiece - the Elan +2 Coupe for those that needed more accommodation. Based on a suitably lengthened/widened version of its smaller sibling's chassis, the newcomer enjoyed better aerodynamics and superior grip (thanks to a 0.30 drag co-efficient and six-inch wider track/fatter tyres). And, as the name suggests, it offered two extra seats - in the company's own words, 'The +2 is designed to carry two adults and two children on a long holiday in comfort'. The +2S version was introduced in 1969 and brought such cosmetic improvements as remote boot release and flush fitting interior door handles, plus an improved exhaust system.The very tidy-looking +2S offered is finished in Silver and trimmed in Black. It was evidently the subject of a restoration some 15 years ago, at which point the original backbone chassis was replaced with a new galvanised one, the twin-cam engine overhauled, and the Lotus completely repainted. Six years later the water pump, timing chain and dampers were all replaced and uprated driveshafts installed. The vendor informs us that the Elan nowadays 'drives very well and has been in regular use'. He presently views the bodywork, interior trim, engine and four-speed manual transmission as being in 'good' condition and the paintwork as 'fair'. The Lotus comes complete with sunroof and an extensive history file that includes the purchase and other invoices dating back to 1971, MOTs back to 1975 and photos of the restoration.

Pope-Tribune Model 2

Lot #22 (Sale Order 83 of 207)

Pope-Tribune was one of a group of four companies founded by former civil war officer Colonel Albert Pope that were dedicated to the manufacture of petrol-engined motorcars - he had another that concentrated on electric-powered ones. Production was established in the old Crawford bicycle factory, Hagerstown, Maryland, USA and run by the colonel's son, Harold. The first product was a single-cylinder two-seater runabout designed by Hiram Percy Maxim, the son of Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim, the inventor of the Maxim gun. The improved Model 2 featured a front-mounted single-cylinder engine of 798cc, wheel steering, two-speed sliding pinion gearbox, and shaft drive to a bevel rear axle complete with differential. In 1904, the Model 2 was priced at a princely $650, but this was lowered the ensuing year to a more attractive $500.The righthand drive 1904 Model 2 being sold was imported to the UK in 1992/1993 by a Mr John Danison. It was granted VCC dating the following year before being sold to a Mr Richard Ashby in 2005. The vendor acquired 'SV 7303' in 2007 and has clearly put it to good use, as the veteran's history file includes a certificate to prove it completed the 2014 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run (the accompanying paperwork also features a letter of acceptance for this year's event that takes place on November 1). Furthermore, earlier this year both car and owner successfully completed the 90 mile long VCC Creepy Crawley rally.The Pope-Tribune is finished in an attractive shade of Green complemented by Black cycle wings and Black leather seating, all of which are considered by the vendor to be in 'good' condition; as is the transmission, bodywork and the colour-keyed artillery wheels on which the car rides. The engine was apparently overhauled and fitted with a new cylinder block last year, at which time the electrical system was also replaced.

Mercedes-Benz 220 SEB Coupe

Lot #23 (Sale Order 84 of 207)

- The subject of a five-page article in Mercedes Enthusiast magazine (June 2013 issue)- Treated to an engine overhaul, bare metal respray and re-trim in leather between 2002 and 2008- Recent £6,000 expenditure on brakes, suspension, engine / gearbox mount

Citroen SM

Lot #24 (Sale Order 85 of 207)

Masterminded by Robert Opron, the SM was unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Salon. Intended as a grand routier, the newcomer married the world's most technologically advanced front-wheel-drive platform to Maserati 'quad-cam' power (the Italian marque having been a Citroen subsidiary since 1968). Credited with developing some 170bhp and 172lbft, its free-revving 2.7-litre V6 engine (later 3.0-litre) was mounted behind the front wheels and allied to five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Boasting a 0.25cd, the four-seater 'Serie Maserati' featured all-round independent, self-levelling oleo-pneumatic suspension, speed-sensitive power steering (2.0 turns lock to lock) and powerful disc brakes. The world's fastest front-wheel drive production car upon launch, Motor magazine found Citroen's flagship to be capable of 137 mph and 0-60 mph in 8.3 seconds. Of the 12,920 SMs built, only 327 were officially imported into the UK. All are left-hand drive apart from a handful converted to RHD in Australia.A UK market car that is understood to have had just five keepers from new, chassis OOSC3478 was acquired by the late David Chaulkin in 1990. A renowned SM aficionado who lectured on the model at Retromobile, Mr Chaulkin preferred carburettor-fed engines to fuel-injected ones and 'GMO 130N' has been modified accordingly. Treated to a re-ground crankshaft and new mains / big-end bearings in recent years but little used since, the replacement V6 boasts a stainless steel exhaust and is allied to five-speed manual transmission. Riding on scarce worn Michelin tyres, chassis OOSC3478 shows just 64,000 miles to its odometer. Said by the vendor to possess 'beautiful almost unmarked Cream bodywork' and 'smart Tan leather upholstery and Oatmeal carpets', this charismatic Citroen is offered for sale with handbook.

Lagonda LG45 Pillarless Saloon

Lot #25 (Sale Order 86 of 207)

Overseen by the combined talents of W.O. Bentley and Frank Feeley, the LG45 was a notable blend of luxury and performance and well received by its public. Model revisions were known as 'Sanctions'. The Sanction Two cars of 1936 brought twin Scintilla Vertex magnetos, while the Sanction Three ones of 1936/1937 featured: an improved cross-flow inlet manifold that was cast integrally with the cylinder head and to which the carburettors were now bolted directly; a lightened flywheel that allowed engine speeds of up to 4,000rpm; and a rear stabiliser bar to improve handling and roadholding. The LG45 was offered in Tourer, Drophead Coupe and Pillarless Saloon guises, or as a bare chassis for those favouring bespoke coachwork. Total production of the model is understood to have been around 278, some 150 of which are thought to survive today.The lovely LG45 on offer is a Sanction Three Pillarless Saloon. It retains its original 4.5-litre Meadows engine, which was overhauled in 1979 by the previous owner, who evidently retained the car for some 25 years or so. '759 YUB' is finished in a lustrous combination of Maroon and Red that, though applied a while ago, still presents very well. We understand the body timbers are 'in fine order' and the door shuts 'excellent'. The front seats fold forwards, allowing easy access to the rear. The Lagonda rides on colour-keyed wire wheels, a pair of spares for which are located under aluminium covers mounted on the front wings. In recent times the Lagonda was treated to a major internal refurbishment that involved a complete retrim in Burgundy leather and the installation of matching carpets. The vendor informs us that the vehicle 'performs superbly, being considerably quicker than the equivalent Derby Bentley - the Meadows engine starts easily and operates effortlessly'. A splendid-looking example of a rare breed.

Ferrari 308 GTS QV

Lot #26 (Sale Order 87 of 207)

By switching to Bosch fuel injection in March 1981 Ferrari robbed its successful 308 GTB / GTS models of some forty horsepower. Worried about the consequent loss of performance, Maranello executive Eugenio Alzati determined to give the 90-degree 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 its teeth back. Announced in October 1982, the new QV or 'quattrovalve' model was a revelation. Sporting - as its name suggests - four-valve cylinder heads, it was credited with developing some 240bhp and 192lbft of torque. Emissions friendly, it nevertheless boasted less noise, more power and better throttle response than its predecessor. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and 158mph, the QV cars once again had the raw speed to match their sublime Pininfarina sculpted looks. A Belgian market car that has nonetheless spent most of its life in America, chassis 46057 was acquired by the vendor two years ago for use at his Florida holiday home. Having proved entirely dependable, he decided to treat the Ferrari to a thorough cosmetic refurbishment. Entrusted to renowned Dino restorer Stallion Motors of Nottingham upon its importation to the UK, the 308 GTS QV was carefully stripped with all interior trim and glass removed. Found to be free of any structural corrosion, chassis 46057 was repainted in its original Rosso Corsa 300 livery complete with correct Satin Black detailing. Warranted to have covered just 77,000km from new (c.48,000miles), the two-seater is rated by the vendor as excellent' (engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment) or concours' (bodywork, paintwork, re-trimmed Tan leather upholstery). Said to drive very well with no known faults, this exceptional 308 GTS QV is accompanied by its original tool roll, emergency light, space-saver spare wheel and handbooks plus a thick file full of receipts / invoices.

Porsche's 996 evolution of the venerable 911 concept was manufactured between 1998 and 2005 and represented the most significant single update of the 911 family since its introduction in 1964. The most fundamental change was the move from air-cooled to water-cooled engines, in the interest of increasingly stringent noise and environmental regulations. The handsome righthand drive Carrera Cabriolet seen here is understood to have covered no more than c.55,000 miles and has had nearly £6,000 invested in its maintenance in the last two years alone. Its service book apparently contains 11 stamps, the last of which relates to the routine maintenance and change of auxiliary drive belt carried out by marque specialists Cavendish Porsche of Nottingham in April of this year. This striking Carrera features Blue bodywork matched to Black interior trim, and the vendor currently grades the bodywork, paintwork, flat-six engine and automatic transmission as all being in 'very good' order. It comes complete with factory hard top and upgraded Alpine bluetooth radio, though the original Porsche unit is also included.

MG A 1600 Coupe

Lot #28 (Sale Order 89 of 207)

According to the Heritage Certificate accompanying this smart-looking MKII Coupe, it was despatched from the Abingdon plant on December 20, 1961, bound for the USA. The document further reveals that it was finished in Old English White, trimmed in Black and benefited from the optional wire wheels and heater. As far as can be ascertained, the MG returned to these shores circa 2007, at which point it was treated to a nut and bolt restoration in its original colour and converted to righthand drive, since when it has apparently travelled just 312 miles. The vendor informs us that the Coupe has spent the last two years in the Isle of Man, so will therefore need to acquire a mainland registration. He currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in 'good' order, and states the car is 'mechanically excellent and drives particularly well'.

Ferrari 348 TS

Lot #29 (Sale Order 90 of 207)

First seen at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Pininfarfina-penned mid-engined 348 replaced the 328. The 348TB (Berlinetta) and 348TS (Spider) were the first series-production Ferraris to feature a steel monocoque chassis as opposed to a tubular frame. The newcomer's 3405cc quad-cam 32-valve V8 engine developed 300bhp and 238lbft of torque - sufficient to propel the newcomer to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and to a top speed in excess of 170 mph. 1 of just 4,228 this left-hand drive example departed the Maranello factory in 1992 and has formed part of an extensive well maintained Japanese collection. Displaying 54,009 kilometres (approximately 33,559 miles) the Ferrari has recently arrived on these shores and has been Nova registered. Offered for sale with its original service book, reproduction handbook, Japanese service records and hood bag for the Targa top the 348 has also been cosmetically enhanced with a F355 Challenge rear grill and sports a Momo steering wheel with Ferrari emblem.PLEASE NOTE: Should this lot remain in Europe, it will be subject to VAT (20%) on the full purchase price (both the hammer price and the commission).

Buick Tourer

Lot #30 (Sale Order 91 of 207)

One of the first manufacturers to successfully experiment with overhead valvegear, Buick was also the keystone on which William C Durant founded his General Motors Empire in 1908. Known for the quality and sophistication of its designs, the Flint-based concern produced some 19,051 cars in 1912. Finished in Red with Red upholstery, this particular three-door, four-seater Tourer is described by the vendor as being in 'good' condition with regard to its four-cylinder OHV engine, three-speed manual transmission, electrical equipment, bodywork and paintwork, while he rates the interior trim as 'OK'. Reportedly dating from 1912 and further understood to be in the process of having a UK V5C Registration Document issued to it by the DVLA, this appealing Edwardian Buick sports a wooden bulkhead, Black hood and artillery wheels shod with 'Non-Skid' tyres.

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible

Lot #35 (Sale Order 96 of 207)

The third generation Corvette (C3) came to market in 1968. While the engine and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2, the interior and striking body were new. The exterior was a development of that penned by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of Bill Mitchell for the Mako Shark II concept. The striking Dark Metallic Blue Stingray offered is a Convertible example from 1969. A three owner vehicle, it has evidently been maintained in top condition and boasts an impressive specification - the 5.7-litre powerplant features parts from the key engine builders and an enclosed dyno sheet confirms an output of 400bhp. The unit drives through a four-speed close-ratio gearbox to a 3.07:1 limited slip differential. 'WVO 654G' is offered with the benefit of a tidy Black leather interior complete with audio package and Stingray mats, owners' handbooks and sales brochure. The vendor considers the 'vette to be 'excellent' in all major departments.

Humber 15.9hp Saloon

Lot #36 (Sale Order 97 of 207)

A long-forgotten marque, Humber was once a name to conjure with, as demonstrated by the stunning vintage Saloon now offered. One of few such models remaining, and extraordinarily original, it's apparently travelled just 25,000 miles from new. It retains its original 2815cc engine, four-speed gearbox and leather cone clutch. The front axle is brakeless, as per the period, and the Humber rides on artillery wheels shod with beaded edge tyres. It is finished in finished in 'show quality' Black over Blue, while the ornate Grey interior is trimmed in Bedford cord. The Humber is full of charming touches - entry is via the rear compartment, the front seats swivelling to allow forward access, and the interior boasts hat racks, ornate period door pulls and masses of brocade trimming. Both male and female requisite sets are present and complete. Being sold with a large quantity of spares, 'CE 7392' makes a fine alternative to a 20hp Rolls-Royce.

Fiat 500 L

Lot #37 (Sale Order 98 of 207)

This delightful little lefthand drive Fiat Nuova is essentially a one owner car. Its first keeper was a general of police in Palermo who at one stage used the Fiat on a daily basis, and personally accounted for the current total mileage of 30,000 kilometres. Though the vendor, a friend of the general, subsequently purchased it from him, he has never driven it, and it has continued to live among the general's collection of some 250 specialist vehicles. Among his 30-strong staff are engineers with 50 years' experience of the model, and in recent times it has had plenty of attention and a long list of replacement parts, as required. As a result the vendor presently grades the bodywork, White paintwork, Black interior trim, two-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. The little Lusso comes complete with the luxury equipment particular to that model, interior carpet, luggage rack, folding seats and white-walled tyres.

Ferrari 250 GTO Evocation

Lot #39 (Sale Order 100 of 207)

Some evocations are a little hard to fathom, but creating a replica of the world's most desirable car (especially when prices of the originals are now well north of £20million), is not at all difficult to comprehend; and even less so when the motorcar in question is based on a V12 Ferrari and thereby a genuine relation of the real thing.'ULB 101W' is a righthand drive recreation of Ferrari's immortal 250 GTO. It was professionally constructed by Andy Waters Motor Engineers of Horncastle by blending Ferrari 400 chassis, suspension and engine components to US-supplied replica GTO bodywork. The Ferrari drives through a five-speed manual gearbox and is understandably finished in classic Rosso Red and trimmed in Tan leather. The vendor currently describes the engine as 'good', the bodywork and paintwork as 'fair to good', the interior as 'fair' and transmission as 'sound'. This car surely represents a lot of fun for the money, the only problem we can visualise is that the first thing everybody you meet will say is 'is it a real one'?!When new, one of the 39 genuine GTOs made would have cost you around £6,000, and to acquire one would have needed the personal approval of Enzo Ferrari himself. The 250 Gran Turismo Omologato, to give the motorcar its full name, was created to allow Ferrari to contest the FIA's Group 3 Grand Touring Car category; something it achieved with great success until faced with the Shelby Daytona Coupe of 1965. A unique combination of performance, beauty, rarity, and the fact that all 39 examples are still alive and well and totally accounted for, has placed the GTO on a pedestal high above all other automotive icons. Current owners include Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, Walmart Chairman Rob Walton and JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford.

Ferrari F430 Spider

Lot #42 (Sale Order 103 of 207)

Ferrari's 430 model debuted at the Paris Salon in 2004 and, though based on the preceding 360, was a notably superior car in most respects. It was designed at Pininfarina under the guidance of Frank Stephenson. It broadly shared the Alcoa alloy chassis, roofline, doors and glass of the 360, but the revised lines endowed the newcomer with considerably greater downforce. It also contained some nice styling cues from previous Ferraris - eg Enzo tail lights and interior vents, the model name etched Testarossa-style into the driver's side mirror, and large oval intakes at the front reminiscent of '60s Ferrari race cars. The lusty 4.3-litre V8 powerplant was entirely new and marked a break from a line that could be traced all the way back to the Dino racing programme of the '50s. Output was 483bhp and an equally healthy 343 lb ft of torque - 80 percent of which was available below 3500rpm. The braking was designed in close co-operation with Brembo (calipers/discs) and Bosch (the electronics). There was the choice of six-speed manual or semi-automatic transmission that drove through a computer-controlled limited slip differential. Another notable feature was the steering wheel-mounted control that allowed drivers to select from five different settings, affecting: ESC, electronic suspension, transmission, throttle response and E-diff. Quite a car!The very handsome righthand drive 430 Spider now available matches a Black leather interior to lustrous Black bodywork. It was supplied new in 2006 by Ferrari specialist Meridien, and has had four former keepers who account for the current total of c.23,600 miles. It features the optional six-speed F1-stle electrohydraulic manual transmission. A new clutch was installed in 2006 and the vendor now considers the Spider bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and semi-automatic gearbox to all be in 'very good' order. A supercar that will surely turn heads wherever it goes.

Maserati Quattroporte III

Lot #43 (Sale Order 104 of 207)

PLEASE NOTE: The offside rear door handle has broken in the last couple of days and the face piece is stored in the Documents Office. The history of Maserati is a tangled web, but has resulted in some great cars. Formed by the Bologna-based Maserati brothers it was taken over by steel magnate Adolfo Orsi in 1937. It was during his son's reign that the first Quattroporte was born (it is amazing how 'four doors' sounds so exciting in Italian!). By 1971 the company was in the hands of CitroÙn and the second Quattroporte was based on an SM chassis. As CitroÙn declared Maserati bankrupt just four years later, it would also have been the last Quattroporte had the workers not forced the creation of a public company and the appointment of Alejandro De Tomaso to run it. Quattroporte number three was born under his charge.This lefthand drive, matching numbers example cost in excess of £89,000 when delivered new to a Swiss diplomat in 1986, and has had just four keepers to date. It is a pretty rare motorcar too, as there were just 2,143 Quattroporte III's produced all told, 1,806 of which were 4.9-litre automatic variants, of which this is one. It is finished in the splendid combination of Dark Aquamarine Blue bodywork teamed with Deep Tan leather interior trim. 'C906 LOX' currently displays a total of 137,400 kilometres, yet is felt by the vendor to be in 'concours' condition, having enjoyed a bare metal respray, £9,000 engine overhaul and the fitment of countless replacement parts in recent times. It certainly appears to have been retained in tip top order throughout its life, with its maintenance record showing no less than 36 visits to specialists for the purpose of service or repair and has just been serviced at Armari supercars at the cost of £2,756. This desirable Maserati is now offered with a huge file of books, paperwork and related magazine articles. A rare opportunity.

Aston Martin DB MK III Saloon

Lot #44 (Sale Order 105 of 207)

The elegant DB2 was a major step forward from the 2-Litre Sports model it replaced. The newcomer was based on a modified version of the square tube chassis originally designed by Claude Hill for the Atom prototype. It was clothed in a flowing all-alloy body penned by Frank Feeley and powered by the 2.6-litre straight-six Lagonda engine conceived by W.O. Bentley and Willie Watson. Yes, this was a car with pedigree, something that was emphatically confirmed a few months later with a first and second in class finish at Le Mans.Production of the DB2 continued until 1953 when it was replaced by the DB2/4. A logical progression, the DB2/4 featured a pair of occasional rear seats and an eminently practical hatchback tail. Other notable changes included a wraparound windscreen, larger bumpers and repositioned headlights. By the middle of the following year the engine had grown in capacity to 2.9-litres, increasing the power output to 140bhp and the top speed to 120mph. It was in 1954 that David Brown acquired the Tickford Coachbuilding Works at Newport Pagnell, and it was there rather than Feltham the MKII versions of the DB2/4 were made from 1955. The revised model featured small tailfins, bubble-type tail lights and added chrome. There was the option of a large-valve, high compression engine of 165bhp output and two different body styles - a 2+2 Hatchback and two-seat Drophead Coupe.The final iteration of the DB2/4 was launched at the 1957 Geneva Salon. Somewhat confusingly christened the DB Mark III, it featured disc front brakes (from the first 100 cars onward) and Alfin drums on the rear, a hydraulic clutch, plus the options of overdrive for the standard manual gearbox and automatic transmission. The obvious visual differences were the adoption of a DB3S-style radiator grille and sensuously sculptured bonnet. The rear lamps were changed once more and the rear quarter lights made to open. Inside, an all-new instrument panel greeted the driver. The engine, which had been heavily reworked by Tadek Marek, featured a new crankshaft, stiffer crankcase, and induction modifications inspired by the racing unit of the DB3S. The power of the standard version was now up to 162bhp, while those equipped with the optional dual exhaust system were claimed to produce 178bhp - enough to sprint the Aston to 60mph in 9.3 seconds. There was now the choice of three body styles - 2+2 Hatchback, Drophead Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe; though the latter only accounted for five of the 551 Mark IIIs built between 1957 and 1959.By the time Goldfinger reached the silver screen, 007 was behind the wheel of a gadget-equipped DB5, but in the Ian Fleming novel from which the film was derived, he piloted a gadget-modified DB Mark III - erroneously referred to as a DB III throughout the book.This delightful DB MKIII hails from 1958 and is finished in Silver with contrasting Burgundy-coloured hide and matching Wilton carpets. It is equipped with overdrive, DB4 GT front brake calipers and braided brake lines. The Aston has just been treated to a complete engine overhaul during which one of the new and improved Vetus cylinder blocks was installed. The vendor informs us that the car has also been continuously well maintained, courtesy of regular visits to Four Ashes Garage in Stratford-upon-Avon. Its comprehensive history file contains invoices totalling in excess of £75,000 in the last five years, £20,000 of which is from 2015, as well as previous FIA papers - suggesting earlier competition activity. The vendor has no hesitation in classing the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order and considers '483 FBH' to be 'eminently collectable'.

MG A 1500 Roadster

Lot #45 (Sale Order 106 of 207)

Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt motorshow, the MG A featured a chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and power courtesy of the 1,489cc straight-four B Series engine from the MG Magnette Saloon. 'YSU 840' started life as a US export model and was first registered in the UK in 1990. A lefthand drive example to this day, it is presented with White bodywork complemented by Black interior trim, rides on wire wheels and boasts a luggage rack and leather-rimmed steering wheel. In recent times it has benefited from the installation of a Revotec electric fan, stainless steel exhaust, and H4 halogen headlamp conversion. Its current engineer keeper treated the MG to a mechanical overhaul, during which the brakes and suspension were attended to, and new tyres, water hoses, and rear light lenses fitted. The MG comes complete with V5C, fresh MOT although exempt and numerous invoices; many of which are from marque specialists such as Brown & Gammons and MGOC spares.

Tiger Super Six

Lot #47 (Sale Order 108 of 207)

This Super Six dates from 1996 but has recently been completely refurbished and uprated to something rather more special. The metamorphosis is based around a new, later model R6 chassis and both it and the equally new suspension system have been powder-coated in Lotus Grey. A purpose-built twin-cam engine has been installed, which drive through a reconditioned Ford Type 9 five-speed manual gearbox. A larger stainless steel silencer takes care of the spent gases. New de Dion suspension keeps the rear wheels where they should be, while damping is handled by adjustable Spax units all-round. Braking is by new four-pot alloy calipers up front and Cosworth ones at the rear. The occupants enjoy superior seating and the driver is informed by a special set of instruments. Most Tigers feature GRP nose cones, but this Super Six boasts a polished alloy body and Black wings. If built today 'L7 FAH' would apparently set you back £25,000.

Bentley Brooklands

Lot #48 (Sale Order 109 of 207)

This very tidy-looking example of an increasingly sought-after model was purchased new by a Mr Groves in April 1994. The bill of sale that is included in the car's history file totalled £98,909. The Bentley is resplendent in Metallic Red Pearl complemented by Magnolia-coloured hide upholstery that's teamed with Red piping, top roll, carpets and over rugs. 'L80 GHS' benefits from a number of desirable options including: sports seats, front and rear armrests, quarter badges, badge bar and flying 'B' mascot. The Bentley's impressive maintenance history confirms the total indicated mileage of just 49,900 miles, and includes no less than seven services courtesy of main agents and a further six by marque specialists; the most recent of which was in February of this year. The Brooklands replaced the Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models and was intended as an affordable alternative to the Turbo R, the major difference being that it was normally aspirated.

Turner MK II

Lot #49 (Sale Order 110 of 207)

The defunct Turner marque is best remembered for its 11-year run of road-based production cars, many of which humbled far more exotic machinery in competition. This lovingly presented MKII model from 1960 features Blue bodywork complemented by Grey interior trim and has only recently emerged from an 18 month nut and bolt restoration by marque guru John Cullis. The reformation is centred around a brand new Robin Knight chassis and includes a fresh GRP bodyshell onto which the original bonnet and boot lid have been attached. Power comes from a 1098cc BMC A Series engine uprated with high compression pistons, Metro cylinder head, Cooper camshaft and electronic ignition. It breathes through a single 1.5in SU and exhausts through an all-stainless system. The unit drives through a fully reconditioned MG Midget gearbox. No stone has been left unturned with this superb example of the marque, which has covered just 450 miles since the restoration was completed.

Triumph TR4

Lot #50 (Sale Order 111 of 207)

- Uprated with 6-cyl engine and 5-speed gearboxThis extremely-smart TR4 was manufactured in October 1963. An export model, it was delivered new to the USA, where it remained until repatriated in 1990. In recent times it has been treated to a detailed, bod

MG TF 1500

Lot #51 (Sale Order 112 of 207)

This late model lefthand drive American export was repatriated 10 years ago, since when it has remained in heated storage. It teams Red bodywork with a Fawn vinyl interior and the vendor purchased it as an addition to his existing collection of MGs, as it is 'mechanically and bodily original, rust free and shows no sign of ever having been damaged or modified'. He further informs us that 'the XPEG engine is in good condition and runs well with steady oil pressure. The gearbox shows none of the usual faults and the back axle is quiet. The chromework is good and 'IG 4168' remains in its original colour, though the earlier respray is now a little flat. The interior has been retrimmed and the American hood is in good order'. As the vendor himself says, of the 9,600 TFs built, only 3,400 were 1500s, so such a sound unmolested one is a rarity.

MG B GT

Lot #52 (Sale Order 113 of 207)

Introduced in 1965, the MGB GT was a more comfortable and versatile proposition than its roadster sister. With a top speed of over 100mph courtesy of its 1798cc B-series engine and a capable chassis featuring independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc / drum brakes, the enclosed 2+2-seater merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Finished in Red with Black vinyl upholstery, 'XJR 531J' is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and paintwork, while he rates the bodywork as 'very good'. Extensively restored in the early 2000s, work is understood to have included: a thorough bodywork refurbishment and bare metal repaint plus gearbox, suspension, rear axle and engine overhauls (the latter two being further enhanced via the fitment of an anti-roll bar and Stage 1 camshaft respectively). Some 12,000 miles later the B GT is still said to 'simply drive like new'. Riding on Rostyle wheels, this smart MG is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document and large history file containing invoices for the thousands of pounds spent on parts during its rejuvenation.

Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster

Lot #54 (Sale Order 115 of 207)

Chassis 877200 is a beautiful and recently restored example of a Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster Series 1. With matching numbers, this left hand drive example was sold new to a Mr. P Reneira Jr, of Half Moon Bay in northern California, USA.The vendor believes that the car remained in the USA all of its life until he acquired it immediately after its importation into England in early 2014. He has since had the E-Type restored to what he describes as an "excellent" standard.The enormous number of invoices on file describe how the car was stripped and repainted during the restoration with many new items fitted that were obtained from the leading classic Jaguar parts suppliers. These included new wire wheels, a new steering wheel, a new black folding roof, overhauled dash board instruments, new leather seat trim and carpets to the interior, and a fully detailed suspension and under-carriage area. The engine was also overhauled with a very detailed description of the works carried out in the file.Finished in silver paint with a black leather interior and folding roof, this E-Type is offered with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and numerous restoration records/invoices and a V5C registration document.

Jaguar XK150 SE 3.4 Litre Drophead Coupe

Lot #55 (Sale Order 116 of 207)

The final iteration of the XK sportscar line and the last Jaguar to carry a separate chassis, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few - if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes). Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. The dashboard too was altered eschewing wood trim for padded leather. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque's race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. More expensive than the other bodystyles, the soft-top coupe boasted occasional rear seats and a fully lined hood. Ticking the 'Special Equipment' box on the order form resulted in the following upgrades: B-type cylinder head, overdrive, twin-exhaust system and wire wheels. With a claimed 210hp on tap, the 'SE' 3.4 Litre cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and 124mph. Total right-hand drive XK150 Drophead Coupe production is thought to have amounted to just 663 cars (for both 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre variants). Unsurprisingly, survivors are highly prized by collectors.According to the copy Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate on file, this particular right-hand drive XK150 SE 3.4 Drophead Coupe was manufactured on 1st September 1959. Supplied new via J.R. Inwards Ltd of Ruislip to Messrs F.G. Ruggles Ltd of Hounslow some twenty days later, the Jaguar initially sported the number plate 'R 80' but has since been re-registered as '421 HYR'. The subject of a very thorough, 'chassis up / body off' restoration in recent years, the 2+2-seater has been upgraded with a Kenlowe fan, alloy header tank and Coopercraft front wheel brakes. The engine number visible on the cylinder head matches that shown on its chassis plate and heritage certificate. Starting readily upon inspection and remaining highly presentable, this attractive 'home market' XK150 SE 3.4 Drophead Coupe is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, numerous restoration photographs and fresh MOT certificate.

BMW 327/80 Cabriolet

Lot #56 (Sale Order 117 of 207)

It was in 1934 that BMW began work on the car that would largely underpin its immediate future, the 326. The development was the responsibility of Fritz Fiedler and Alfred B÷ning and the design that of Peter Schimanowski. It was powered by a six-cylinder OHV engine of 1971cc and featured such advanced technical features as hydraulic braking and rack and pinion steering. It was offered in Saloon, and both two and four-door Convertible guises.In 1936 came the immortal 328 Roadster, the stunning two-seater that dominated the 2-litre race class in which it competed and achieved outright victory in the 1940 Mille Miglia. Somewhat confusingly, the less dramatic but graceful and highly successful 327 followed a year behind the 328, and was aimed at an altogether different market. A four-seater motorcar based on a shortened version of the 326 chassis, it was offered as a two-door Coupe or Cabriolet. There were two engine options, the more powerful of which utilised the lusty unit from the 328. Records show that 1,965 327s were built between 1937 and 1941, and a further 505 between 1946 and when production of the model ceased in 1955. The styling was again the work of Peter Schimanowski and lent itself to the two-tone paintwork that adorned many examples of the breed.The magnificent lefthand drive sale car was manufactured by Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) in December 1939. It features White Cabriolet bodywork contrasted by White-piped Black interior trim and was equipped from new with the more powerful of the engine options, that's fed by an impressive trio of carburettors. The BMW's history file contains a copy of a previous V5 showing that prior to March 1988 it was owned by an Alan Warner of Itchen Abbas near Winchester. In March 1988 the registration was changed in favour of Waxoyl, then of Radlett, Herts. However, it would seem that to all intents and purposes it was still Warner's car, and it was through him the vendor acquired it in February 1990.At this point it was entrusted to TT Workshops of Westbury, Wiltshire, who set about restoring the chassis, body, mechanical components and electrical system. The BMW has subsequently been used in Italy, France, Switzerland and the UK without any problems, and the vendor currently classes the bodywork, interior trim, engine and transmission as 'good', and the paintwork as 'fair'. A splendid-looking period BMW of enduringly practical design.

Bentley Arnage Red Label

Lot #57 (Sale Order 118 of 207)

The Arnage replaced derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne during 1998 and was initially powered by a DOHC 4.4-litre BMW engine. However, it was around this time that Bentley passed to the Volkswagen Group, who were forced to find an alternative powerplant. In fact they sourced two, creating the option of Red and Green Label Arnages, with the former powered by a Cosworth-built version of Bentley's single-turbo OHV 6.75-litre V8. Coincident with the engine changes, the models were treated to additional legroom, stiffer bodyshell, bigger brakes and larger wheels. The righthand drive Red Label offered hails from 2000 and matches eye-catching Red bodywork to a Cream hide interior. It's had two former keepers and the vendor presently grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission as 'very good'. The impressive service record confirms the indicated mileage of c.62,000 and this impressive Bentley comes complete with all original books, manuals and history file with invoices for £20,000.

Jaguar MK II 3.8 Litre

Lot #58 (Sale Order 119 of 207)

Synonymous with the swinging '60s, the MKII is one of the most widely admired of all Jaguar Saloons and as cherished by the bank robbers of its time as the police who pursued them. It was at its most formidable when equipped with the 220bhp 3.8-litre engine. The MkII 3.8 saloon on offer left the Browns Lane Coventry works in 1963 and is finished in light metallic maroon. Believed to have had just four private keepers from new the last of whom took possession in 2004 'LEA 175' is thought to have covered just 1,700 dry miles whilst in his care. We understand that the 60,725 miles displayed when entered for is likely to the genuine total mileage since new. The vendor informs us it is a lovely original-spec motor car with factory-fit power-steering, clean bodywork and paintwork, super original beige leather interior, and with both 3.8-litre 6-cylinder engine and 3-speed automatic transmission reportedly in 'good' working order. Offered with a collection of old MOT'S, tax discs and invoices including one dating from 1969 from Henley's of London this clearly loved example and is offered with a current MOT certificate into September 2016.

Bentley S1 Saloon

Lot #59 (Sale Order 120 of 207)

The Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon replaced the R-Type standard steel saloon in 1955. Improved from its predecessor by not just offering seating for five adults, but also a more comfortable arrangement thanks to three extra inches in the wheelbase, enlarged headroom and even bigger boot space. The ride was improved by softer suspension and improved braking which helped to counter the increase in power and engine capacity, which now, with 4887cc was propelled through a four-speed automatic gearbox. Finished in Dark Blue with light Blue leather interior 'UXF 805' has been subject to recent improvement having been re-painted, all the wood being re-veneered and the interior trim being re-connolised and repaired where necessary. The Engine bay has also been cleaned and re-painted, the Carburettor overhauled with a replacement gearbox fitted all of which has been over seen by J.K Engineering Ltd of Biggleswade over 2013/2014. Offered with history file comprising of the original handbooks, 20 old mot certificates dating back to 1963, collection of old invoices and original tool kit this handsome Bentley has just returned from a 200 mile round trip to the Goodwood Revival and is ready to be enjoyed by its new keeper.

Ford Thunderbird

Lot #62 (Sale Order 123 of 207)

By the time Ford dispensed (at least temporarily) with the Thunderbird moniker in 2005, the model had progressed through no less than 11 generations. It had also been immortalised by the Beach Boys' hit song Fun Fun Fun. The first generation car hit the streets in October 1954 and, while it was created in direct response to Chevrolet's Corvette, Ford's emphasis was more on comfort than overt sportiness. Though sleeker than most of its Ford siblings, it shared many of their components and the V8 engine was borrowed from the company's Mercury division.The splendid 'matching numbers' T-Bird offered is from the last year of the First Generation model, during which no less than 21,380 examples were sold. Finished in Battleship Grey and trimmed in an eye-catching shade of Red, this fancy Ford is powered by the rare 312ci so-called 'E Code' powerplant that uses a pair of four barrel Holley carburettors and period correct aircleaner to help deliver 270hp. Most of the option boxes have been ticked and this car's comprehensive specification includes: electrically controlled windows and seats; power steering; tinted glass; Black soft top; porthole hard top; and radio.The Ford is understood to retain its original paintwork and to be largely unrestored. Despite never having been overhauled, the engine is said to produce plenty of power and the total mileage is believed but (unwarranted) to be c.64,000. In recent times the T-Bird has benefited from new: dampers; tyres; radiator (new old stock); exhaust system and fuel tank. The following have been overhauled: transmission; front suspension; braking system; power steering (including control valve); starter; and generator. The vendor says the Ford 'runs and drives anywhere without hesitation, even over a long distance, and the whole car is in remarkably original condition and complete with rare colour combination'.

Cadillac 370-A V12 Coupe

Lot #64 (Sale Order 125 of 207)

PLEASE NOTE: There are a large amount of parts, including two engines, for this vehicle located near the Documents Office. Introduced in October 1930, the Series 370-A was Cadillac's first V12 engined model. Essentially a scaled down version of the marque's magnificent Series 452 V16 range that had been launched the previous year, it was similarly engineered by Ernest Seaholm and Owen Nacker. Available with 140-, 143- or 150inch wheelbases, its massive chassis was equipped with all round leaf-sprung suspension and fifteen-inch vacuum servo-assisted drum brakes. Like its V16 sibling, the V12 featured a heavily stylised engine bay in which ancillary components were largely hidden from view and the motor itself presented as a piece of monolithic sculpture. To maintain this illusion even when running the advanced unit boasted hydraulically rotated eccentric bushings to dampen the noise from its overhead valve system. With a bore and stroke of 3.125inches x 4inches, the 45? V12 displaced over 6,000cc. Reputed to develop 135hp @ 3,400rpm together with prodigious torque, it was mated to a three-speed manual gearbox that carried synchromesh on its upper two ratios. Utilising a three-quarter floating back axle housing a spiral bevel differential, it could be had with a bewildering range of different bodystyles by both Fischer and Fleetwood (though the latter were responsible for all interiors). One of just three such Coupes known to exist, chassis 1000451 was purchased new by a mine owner as a present for his wife. Resident in the dry state of New Mexico thereafter, the Cadillac still retains traces of its original Black paint and Grey upholstery. Seemingly taken off the road with engine trouble, the Coupe comes with a spare V12 as well as its original powerplant. Substantially complete, this extremely rare and attractive Cadillac has been duty paid into the EU and is offered for sale as a worthwhile restoration project complete with 1952 New Mexico title document.

Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan

Lot #69 (Sale Order 130 of 207)

Produced by US automaker Chevrolet from 1941 to 1952 the Fleetline was introduced in late 1941 as a 4-door sedan. In 1942 a fastback 2-door "Aerosedan" was launched. Highly collectable today with its sleek looks many have been made into street rods, with the common Chevrolet 350 Small block V8 and the 350 or 400 turbo transmission being used. The sale car on offer is no exception and power comes from a mid-1990's Camaro 350 CI 5 litre V8 mated to a 350 turbo gearbox. The front suspension is taken from a later GM model with the shock absorbers and brake discs having been replaced with 4 pot calipers helping the Chevy to stop. Fitted with Hedman mufflers and stainless steel rear sections to the exhaust 'NFF 322' has been UK registered since 1994 and is described by the vendor as 'excellent' with regards to the paintwork and body work with 'good' used for the engine, gearbox and interior. Offered with Swansea V5 document, the vehicle is MoT exempt.

Rolls-Royce 20/25 Saloon

Lot #70 (Sale Order 131 of 207)

Introduced in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20, the Rolls-Royce 20/25 was primarily aimed at owner drivers. Nearly 4,000 chassis were produced, making it the company's best-selling model between the wars. The example offered here is in running order and described by the vendor as having the 'potential for a rolling restoration' - he currently classes the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'fair'. According to Tom C. Clarke's book on the model, chassis GED26 was fitted with engine No.F6N and taken off test on June 6, 1934. It was then despatched to coachbuilder William Arnold - the first owner of the resulting four-light Saloon was a Mr H Carden. 'AVR 691' is now presented for sale in Blue over Black, trimmed in Blue leather and rides on colour-keyed wire wheels shod with white-walled tyres. The Rolls comes complete with a copy of the factory build sheet and a history file containing various invoices etc.

Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II

Lot #71 (Sale Order 132 of 207)

The upgrades that distinguished Rolls-Royce's Shadow II from the first model included: rack-and-pinion steering; revised front suspension geometry; and a change of carburettors, exhaust and cooling fans aimed at improving fuel consumption. More visible were the rubber-tipped bumpers, deeper radiator shell, different door handles, bib spoiler below the front bumper and new style (spring-back) door mirror that was adjustable from inside the car. The Long wheelbase versions of the Shadow II were endowed with the Silver Wraith name and most had the additional distinguishing features of Everflex roof, opera-style rear window and different wheel covers. This lovely-looking Wraith II comes with Chestnut-coloured bodywork and matching leather upholstery. The vendor informs us it has just sailed through its MOT without any advisories and benefits from a recent brake overhaul and new Avon Turbosteel tyres. 'AEL 350T' comes with service book containing 17 stamps, handbooks, invoices, old MOTs etc, and currently displays 39,137 recorded miles.

Jaguar XJ-SC 5.3

Lot #72 (Sale Order 133 of 207)

This XJ-SC was despatched new to Hatfields of Sheffield in 1985. The identity of the first owner is uncertain, but could apparently have been a senior director of Raleigh Cycles of Nottingham. Whatever, the Jaguar was eventually acquired by a Leicestershire gentlemen who used it sparingly until his death. It then passed to his niece, from whom it was purchased by the vendor. Historical paperwork suggests the indicated mileage of just 14,200 could be correct. Certainly the XJ-SC appears to have led a very cosseted life, and the Cobalt Blue paintwork is original apart from a small level of remedial work around the arches to repair stone chipping. The 'Starfish' alloys have been refurbished to factory specification, the bumpers have been rechromed and a stainless steel exhaust system fitted. The vendor currently grades the bodywork and paintwork as 'excellent' and the V12 engine, automatic transmission and Doeskin leather interior trim as 'very good'.

Ford Model A Phaeton

Lot #73 (Sale Order 134 of 207)

Amid rumours that several States were preparing to ban his Model T due to its 'unsafe' hand-operated braking system, Henry Ford begrudgingly succumbed to pressure from his son Edsel in July 1926 and authorised the development of a successor the Ford Model A which was manufactured between 1928 and 1931. Offered in a wide variety of body styles it was the first Ford to incorporate the standard set of driver controls with a conventional clutch, brake pedal, accelerator and gearshift. This particular Canadian-built example is of left-hand drive specification and has been self-evidently restored and repainted in Dark Blue with Black wings matched to a Blue cloth interior. The Phaeton is one of the rarer and more sought-after Model A body styles with this example being fitted with the larger and more desirable 3.2 engine. Having recently arrived on these shores the Ford is offered with all the relevant import paperwork and is ready to be registered to its new keeper.

MG A 1600 Roadster

Lot #74 (Sale Order 135 of 207)

553 YUP' is presented in the distinctive combination of Dove Grey bodywork teamed with Red leather interior trim and hood. This lefthand drive example of the breed has been treated to a fair degree of refurbishment in recent times, including: a repaint in what is the MG's original colour; the removal of the engine which was then checked and serviced; and the restoration of the engine bay. The following items were replaced: front brake discs and calipers; rear shoes and cylinders; wiring loom; mohair hood; and bumpers. The vendor perhaps understandably now classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder B Series engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in 'excellent' order. Some 31,501 examples of the MG A 1600 and 1600 De-Luxe were made in 1959/1960 alone. An open example tested by Motor magazine in 1959 returned a top speed of 96.1mph and a 0-60mph time of 13.3 seconds.

Triumph Dolomite Straight Eight Evocation

Lot #76 (Sale Order 137 of 207)

(We are grateful to the vendor for the detail contained in this description)This magnificent-looking motorcar was recently created in honour of the trio of Dolomite Straight 8s Triumph produced in the 1930s - their history explains the significance of the car now offered.Donald Healey, having been largely responsible for the Imp and MPH models whilst at Riley, joined Triumph in 1933 and persuaded his new chairman, Lieutenant Colonel Holbrook, to manufacture a prototype sports car at least the equal of anything then available, as many British enthusiasts - Earl Howe 'Tim' Birkin, Tommy Wisdom and Healey himself among them - wanted the all-conquering Alfa Romeo 8Cs quashed. Birkin and BRDC President Earl Howe in particular, publicly criticised the lack of a British sports car capable of taking on the continental opposition.As Alfa's 8C 2300 was the benchmark, Healey unsurprisingly based his first prototype on that design. In fact it is believed he purchased a year old Monza (chassis 2211130 or 2211125) and stripped it so the dimensions could be recorded. Healey also travelled to Milan to discuss the project with Vittorio Jano, who was reportedly delighted that so famous a marque as Triumph wished to adopt their design. It was even mooted the car could be dubbed the Triumph-Alfa. However, a combination of the costs associated with the Dolomite's hi-tech specification and Triumph's perilous financial status caused the project to be abandoned in 1936. Of the three Straight 8 prototypes produced, two are in private hands, while the third was destroyed on the 1935 Monte Carlo rally with Healey at the wheel - it clashed with a train at a level crossing; happily Healey and his co-driver escaped with only minor injuries.Scroll forward to today and to Rob Green of Gloria Coachworks who has become arguably the world's leading specialist in pre-1940 Triumph's and restored and re-created many examples of the marque. These have included two evocations of the aforementioned Dolomite Straight 8 and the second, Rob's own, is the stunning Triumph now offered. It is based on a 1938 Dolomite chassis and features all pre-1940 Triumph running gear. It is powered by a Dolomite straight-six engine fed by triple SUs and an ingenious siamesing of the exhaust manifold results in eight fully functioning pipes exiting the bonnet, much as per the original cars. The drawings for the Straight 8 prototypes were destroyed in the blitz, so accurate replicas had to be created from period photos. The resulting coachwork was hand crafted in aluminium over an ash frame and includes a modified Gloria bonnet and genuine period Ace spare wheel cover. The evocation abounds with delightful touches, such as the hand modified Dolomite radiator badge that once read Gloria but now spells Dolomite - a detail believed to have been unique to the three original cars. The windscreen folds down to expose a pair of aero screens for those more sporty moments behind the wheel.'EYT 342' is finished in Green and trimmed in Brown hide, and comes with a matching Green tonneau and hood. The jack and tools are neatly stowed within storage compartments on the engine bulkhead. The vendor informs us that the Triumph 'starts easily, is a delight to drive and revels in spirited motoring'. This splendid motorcar represents 2,700 hours of skilled labour, and Rob apparently has no plans to construct further examples, making this a unique opportunity to acquire a fine example of automotive art at a fraction of the build cost.

Austin-Healey 100

Lot #80 (Sale Order 141 of 207)

Donald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach 100mph), and Healey planned to build production versions at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, the prototype impressed the public and so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he agreed to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin Healey 100. The rest is history. The production bodyshells were made by Jensen and then transported to Longbridge where the cars were assembled alongside the A90. The early cars (code named BN1 and BN2) were equipped with the same four-cylinder 90bhp 2,660cc engine as the A90. They had 11" drum brakes all round. The front suspension was independent by coil springs while the rear featured a traditional live axle supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. The steering was by cam and lever.The home market BN1 on offer is a 1954 example that features smart Spruce Green bodywork complemented by Black interior trim and rides on silver-painted wire wheels. This particular 'Big' Healey has had four keepers to date and is the subject of an older restoration. The engine has been upgraded to 'M' specification ('M' spec. carburettors, cold air box, lightened fly wheel, uprated anti-roll bar, etc.) and the original gearbox replaced by the more desirable four-speed plus overdrive BN2 unit. 'OWD 726' has recently been treated to a full service by a marque specialist, and is described by the vendor as being 'well sorted' with 'excellent' bodywork and paintwork, and 'good' interior trim, engine and transmission. It is being sold complete with lead free conversion, Heritage Certificate, FIVA identity card and MOT until September 2016.

Messerschmitt KR200 Cabriolet

Lot #81 (Sale Order 142 of 207)

Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitt's as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 Cabriolet hails from 1961 and has been self-evidently restored and repainted. Offered with a collection of old MoT certificates and current V5C the vendor now views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'Very good' order. The Messerschmitt's streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in eye-catching Blue and trimmed in Black vinyl and is powered by the standard specification 191cc Fichtel & Sachs single-cylinder two-stroke engine which, thanks to the KR200's light weight and effective aerodynamics, is sufficient to propel the little two-seater to c.60mph - a speed it can attain backwards as well as forwards, as the reversible ignition allows the four-speed transmission to operate in both directions!. This lovely KR200 would grace any microcar collection and represents a unique opportunity for bubble car aficionados everywhere.

Talbot 4AB Waggonette

Lot #83 (Sale Order 144 of 207)

This fascinating righthand drive British-built Talbot was apparently delivered in chassis form to The Western Motor Company of Glasgow in February 1910, and is known to have served in France as an ambulance during WWI. The current Waggonnette body is presumed to have been a post-1918 addition and was fitted to the car when it was unearthed in Scotland during the 1970s. A restoration ensued and the refurbished Talbot is understood to have featured in the 1978 film version of the Thirty-Nine Steps. 'HS 316' is finished in Cream over Brown and trimmed in imitation Brown leather. The vendor describes the bodywork, four-cylinder engine (complete with new rings fitted to the pistons), and four-speed manual transmission as 'sound', the paintwork as 'good', and the interior as 'clean'. The venerable Waggonnette has remained in its current ownership since 1986 and is being offered complete with a dating certificate courtesy of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain.

Lotus Elan S2 Convertible

Lot #84 (Sale Order 145 of 207)

This interesting righthand drive Elan was manufactured on August 14, 1965 and has remained within the same ownership since 1978. According to the vendor, it has 'always benefited from being serviced and maintained and been used for the occasional track day as well as fast road work'. The related modifications include: adjustable rear wishbones; roll over bar; competition seat belts; oil cooler; large alloy radiator and alloy header tank; fire extinguisher and Monza fuel cap. The Lotus sports White bodywork and Black interior trim and is being offered complete with both a new hood and a colour-keyed hard top, as well as a large file of invoices, the 1978 bill of sale and related advertisement, and V5C. The vendor currently classes the twin-cam engine as being in 'fine condition', the backbone chassis as 'very good', the four-speed manual gearbox and differential as 'good', and the bodywork and interior trim as 'fair'.

Willys Overland Model 69 Tourer

Lot #85 (Sale Order 146 of 207)

Long before the ubiquitous Willys Jeep had been conceived, the Willys-Overland Motor Company was a major producer of tough and reliable family automobiles - in fact from 1912 to 1918 only the mighty Ford Motor Company is thought to have produced more cars for the American market. The four-door righthand drive Type 69 Tourer on offer was evidently imported from the USA by the previous owner in 1991, with the vendor acquiring it in 2006. Its four-cylinder engine drives through a three-speed manual gearbox and 'DS 9636' sports Black bodywork and interior trim and rides on varnished artillery wheels. The car comes complete with an electric starter and both the gearbox and rear axle have been overhauled this year. The vendor now classes the engine and interior trim as 'good' and the bodywork and paintwork as 'fair.' Accompanied by a VCC Dating Certificate that was issued in 1993, the Willys has been extensively used on various VCC events including last year's WWI Tour starting in London and proceeding to France and Ypres in Belgium.

Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

Lot #86 (Sale Order 147 of 207)

General Motors' Advance Design Series of trucks, represented the company's first post-war reshape and were claimed to be bigger, stronger and sleeker than the AK model they replaced. The newcomers quickly acquired a loyal following and were produced with only minor amendments from 1947 to 1955, during which period the Chevrolet brand topped the American truck sales charts. The left-hand drive sale vehicle has recently been brought to these shores from the dry state of California and we are informed the Chevy was purchased from its long term private keeper of some 10 years. It's understood under his ownership the Chevy was re-painted and re-trimmed. Power comes from a 3.8-litre (231ci) petrol engine coupled to a three -speed manual gearbox and the pickup features a side mounted spare wheel with White wall tyres which are said to be all in 'good' order and has just received a new battery, starter motor, clutch kit, handbrake cables and oil change. Offered with US title and all duty paid this handsome pick up is ready for the new keeper to be the first name in the V5C. Drive a modern box and long for something more interesting - then this could be for you?!

This attractive-looking example of Britain's favourite sports car has Mid Blue bodywork complemented by a Light Tan interior. It's a four owner example that was removed from the road in 2002 and restored over the ensuing seven years, since when it's travelled less than 4,000 miles. The history file contains invoices totalling in excess of £15,000 and the work carried out included a conversion from rubber to chrome bumpers, during which the ride height was lowered to that of the earlier cars. 'KKR 336P' benefits from a handling kit and Spax dampers all-round. Its impressive specification further includes: oil cooler and braided pipes; overdrive; silver coloured wire wheels; wood rim steering wheel; Pioneer radio/CD player; stainless steel door treads; locking fuel cap; and car cover. The vendor classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'good' order and says the venerable MG 'drives exceptionally well'.

Bentley 3.5 Litre Saloon

Lot #90 (Sale Order 151 of 207)

At the dawn of the 1930s with the reverberations of 'Black Friday' felt worldwide, competition between carmakers grew increasingly desperate. Thus, while WO Bentley sought to refine his 8-litre, Rolls-Royce responded by dabbling with a sports car concept. Their concerns as to the branding of 'Peregrine' (as the project was labelled internally) were alleviated by Bentley's collapse in 1931. Outflanking rivals D. Napier & Son, they acquired Bentley wholesale for £125,257. With a department brief that 'the new car must be as unlike the Rolls-Royce models as possible'. Derby engineers set about preparing 'Peregrine' for flight. Built on a 'double-dropped' chassis. the newcomer employed a tuned version of the Rolls-Royce 20/25's 3,669cc OHV straight-six engine. Boasting twin SUs, wilder camshaft, strengthened con-rods and higher compression ratio, it developed around 120bhp without compromising on refinement. Equipped with the 20/25's four-speed manual gearbox, high-geared steering and hydraulic dampers, the resultant 'Silent Sportscar' was unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races.Chassis No.B54AH was sold new to Colonel E W Margesson in 1934 and clothed in an all-alloy, Close Coupled Saloon body by Park Ward. The coachwork is attractively finished in two-tone Grey while the contrasting interior features eye-catching Red leather upholstery, matching carpets and re-varnished wood cappings. The engine was apparently overhauled a few years ago, and an oil filter conversion carried out; since when 'PO 9559' has travelled just 2000 miles. In addition: the rear axle has been refurbished, the road springs renewed, and the wheels overhauled with new stainless steel spokes and treated to new spinners. The Bentley is being sold complete with its original mascot and a set of newly re-plated door handles. The vendor regards this delightful Derby as 'pretty and ready to enjoy' and grades the engine, gearbox and interior as 'A1' and the coachwork and paintwork as 'good'.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

Lot #91 (Sale Order 152 of 207)

Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud was based on a completely new closed box-section frame that was reputedly fifty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. The newcomer's elegant Standard Steel Saloon body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, the proportions of which belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in. Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke coachwork, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering. Powered by an alloy-headed, 4887cc straight-six engine mated to 4-speed automatic transmission, the model utilised servo-assisted drum brakes all-round. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and featured a live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Changes introduced in 1956 included the incorporation of twin brake master cylinders and the options of power steering and air conditioning. A test by Motor magazine in 1956 recorded a top speed of 102.9mph and a time of 13.5 seconds for the 0-60mph dash.Still finished in its original colours of Sage Green over Smoke Green, chassis SBC108 was first owned by J.W. Kempton Esq. of Leicester who took delivery on 5th October 1956. More recently entrusted to marque specialists Hillier Hill and NRT Motors of Tewsburry for over £35,000 worth of mechanical fettling, the Rolls-Royce is said to 'drive like it did when it left the factory'. Describing its bodywork, paintwork, engine and automatic transmission as 'good' and its Stone-hued leather upholstery as 'fair / good', the vendor further informs us that this lovely Silver Cloud has covered just 100,500 miles from new. Riding on whitewall tyres and benefiting from power steering, it is accompanied by an original handbook, assorted MOTs, V5s, complete boot tools, lamp and a spare set of keys.

Ford Mustang 390 GT Fastback

Lot #92 (Sale Order 153 of 207)

The Fastback option of the Mustang appeared in 1965, with the model's first significant facelift following during 1967. This was an altogether bigger motorcar, featuring additional passenger and luggage space and the option of no less than four larger V8 engines of 302ci, 390ci, 427ci and 428ci capacity. The four-barrel 390ci unit had debuted in the Thunderbird, and with 320hp on tap enabled the revised Pony Car to record a standing quarter mile time of 13 seconds. The 1968 GT390 was immortalised by the Steve McQueen film Bullitt.This purposeful-looking left-hand drive 1968 Mustang 390GT was a special order example built for the Spanish market, and included from new such rarities as a full European handling pack, Sundym glass and orange indicator lenses. It was retained by the original owner until being imported to the UK in February 1998. However, rather than hit the road in style at this stage, it was evidently confined to a lock-up and barely used until acquired by the vendor during July 2009, who then recommissioned it. The work included: stripping the underside and repainting; fitting new suspension bushes, brake lines, brake pads, steering joints, battery, water pump, thermostat, chrome bumpers etc. The fast Ford has never been fully restored, but was treated to a bare metal repaint in 2014. The vendor currently regards the bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine and four-speed manual transmission as 'very good', while he rates the interior trim as 'original'. The mighty Mustang currently displays an unwarranted 55,000 miles and is being sold complete with Marti report, sales brochure and MOT certificate valid until August 2016. The current registration 'TOP 659' is available by separate negotiation.

GTD GT40

Lot #94 (Sale Order 155 of 207)

There is no questioning that the Ford GT40 is one of the most alluring racing cars of all time and 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the first of the Blue Oval's four Le Mans victories, which the company is marking by a return to La Sarthe with its all-new, GT40-inspired GT.The handsomely-presented car now offered is a GTD GT40 MKI evocation, complete with 'Gurney bubble' in the roof. It is finished in the Ford colours of White and Blue and trimmed in Blue leather. Power comes from a 302ci (4.9-litre) small-block Ford V8 engine fed by an 820 Holley carburettor and dual pumps and filters. The car is understood to have been constructed in 1995 by former racing driver Gordon Mayers, who assisted GTD with the development of their evocations, and whose Penn Motor Company concern assembled quite a number of their products over the years; reputedly to a very high standard. The previous keeper acquired 'GTF 11F' in 2006, when it had recorded just 530 miles. The vendor purchased it two years ago and has subsequently invested considerable time and money on it. The many new items installed by a professional race engineer include: AP Racing front discs and 4-pot calipers; springs and adjustable dampers; adjustable pedal box; master cylinders; rose-jointed front suspension; fuel pumps and high flow filters; Avon tyres all-round; gear lever and rod linkage (in place of the original cable set-up). Anybody who's ever travelled in a GT40 will be pleased to hear it also has air conditioning - the cockpit can get mighty warm without!The indicated mileage now stands at a warranted 14,500 and the fast Ford is being sold complete with MOT certificates back to 1996, original build manual, wiring diagrams and performance figures and graphs. The registration number is not included but could be acquired by separate negotiation.

Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph

Lot #95 (Sale Order 156 of 207)

An undisputedly fine motorcar, the Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce's intention to reclaim its reputation as producer of the best car in the world'. Following a long gestation period that dated back to the late '80s, the model was actually only made for four years - 1998 to 2002 - as a result of which just 1,570 examples ultimately vacated the factory in Crewe, making it a relatively rare breed. The company claimed the monocoque chassis to be 65 percent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced. Power came from a BMW-derived all-alloy V12 engine of 5.4-litres, making it the first 12-cylinder car to transport the Silver Lady since the mighty Phantom III of 1939. The Seraph shared its platform, bodyshell and much else with the Bentley Arnage of the period. But while the twin-turbo V8-powered and more stiffly-suspended Arnage was aimed at the enthusiast driver, the Seraph was all about comfort and luxury.'W801 VGO' was supplied new in 2000 by Jack Barclay. Its bodywork is resplendent in Silver that's matched to Black hide interior trim. The Rolls boasts a comprehensive and continuous service record, all the maintenance for which has been carried out by franchised Rolls-Royce agents, with the most recent attention having being supplied by Jack Barclay. The records evidently support the Seraph's currently displayed total mileage of just 29,942. The motorcar's impressive specification includes: burr walnut interior cappings; electrically-controlled sunroof; heated front and rear seats; lambs-wool over rugs; and a brand new set of White-walled tyres. The vendor makes no hesitation in branding the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission as all being 'immaculate', and is doubtless correct in saying that really good examples of the breed are rapidly becoming harder to find. This one comes complete with the aforementioned service books, receipts etc.

Ferrari Testarossa

Lot #96 (Sale Order 157 of 207)

Introduced at the 1984 Paris Salon, the Testarossa caused a sensation. Developed with the aid of a wind tunnel it combined a low drag coefficient with impressive negative lift characteristics (hence the lack of extraneous aerodynamic aids). Although, it was built around a similar tubular steel matrix and retained the same mid-engined layout as its Berlinetta Boxer forebears, the Testarossa was more than just a simple evolution. Its use of galvanised steel for the doors, roof and bulkheads promised greater longevity (the rest of the bodywork was formed in aluminium), while a longer wheelbase, wider track and revised all-round double-wishbone coil-over suspension promoted better handling. As well as greater interior space, drivers also benefited from an adjustable steering column, re-profiled seats and air conditioning. Extensively reworked, the 4942cc flat-12 was lightened by 20kgs and featured ellipso hemi-spherical combustion chambers, four-valve cylinder heads and Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection. Developing some 390bhp and 362lbft of torque, it was mated to a five-speed manual gearbox but kept in check by twelve-inch discs all-round (gripped by four-pot callipers) and a limited slip differential. Highly praised by the contemporary motoring press, Autocar magazine found the Testarossa capable of 181mph and 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds. Predictably exclusive, production totalled 7,177.This 1990 left hand drive example is finished in traditional Rosso Corsa and trimmed in Black leather. We are told the Ferrari has formed part of a well maintained, extensive Japanese collection for many years and has recently arrived on these shores and has been Nova registered. This iconic 80's supercar currently displays 70,445 kilometres (approximately 43,772 miles).PLEASE NOTE: Should this lot remain in Europe, it will be subject to VAT (20%) on the full purchase price (both the hammer price and the commission).

Lot #97 (Sale Order 158 of 207)

The Monaco Diplomat is an extremely spacious RV that boasts a full seven feet of ceiling height and three 'slide-out' areas to expand your living space - two in the living area and one in the bedroom. The interior of this motorhome has been very well maintained and features 'New Vintage Oak' look finish in the kitchen, a queen bed in the bedroom and plentiful storage provided by the wardrobe closet, dresser and roomy overhead cabinets. The pilot's seat features six-way power controls, while the co-pilot's has a power footrest. Everything is strategically arranged to give the best possible driving experience and to help minimize driver fatigue. Powered by an 8.8-litre straight six engine developing some 400hp driving through a 6 speed gearbox, effortless cruising is guaranteed. Requiring an HGV Class 2 licence to drive as is or HGV 1 if towing a trailer, this comfortable RV would grace any race paddock.Registering some 31,049 miles on its odometer, it is accompanied by a Swansea V5C document and full service history. With a list price of around £200,000 when new, it has been enjoyed by just one private owner excluding the supplying dealer. The vendor further advises it will possess a fresh MOT in time for the sale and that no VAT duty is payable. Described as having "good" bodywork and paintwork with "excellent" interior and engine, it would be perfect for family trips abroad or for driving yourself and your trailered race car to motorsport events.

Porsche 911 Carrera 2S

Lot #98 (Sale Order 159 of 207)

Manufactured between 2005 and 2012 the 997 was an evolution of the preceding 996, with the most significant changes being interior and exterior styling. Larger wheels were fitted as standard and other engineering changes included a slight increase in power. Finished in Guards Red with Black leather interior we are informed 'RX05UFZ' is a fully loaded 3.8 Litre S example with over c. £9,000 worth of extras including PCM navigation module, active sports exhaust, electric seats, Porsche hands-free phone, 4 CD changer, BOSE sound system, Aluminium finish instruments, electric windows and mirrors, heated seats, park assist, 19" alloy wheels and Xenon headlights.

Lotus Esprit V8

Lot #99 (Sale Order 160 of 207)

Introduced in 1996, the Lotus Esprit V8 was powered by a bespoke 3.5 litre twin-turbo engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 350bhp and 295lbft of torque on tap, the two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and 175mph. Offering a typically fine ride / handling balance courtesy of its rack and pinion steering, all independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, the model remained in production until 2004 by which time just 1,451 are thought to have been made.Finished in Blue with Cream hide upholstery, 'S550 SEG' is understood to have been in fine order back in 2007 when it suffered cosmetic damage, but was nevertheless classified as a Category D write-off for no other reason than Lotus were at the time unable to supply the parts required, thereby making it temporarily uneconomic to repair. Happily, the Esprit has subsequently been returned to its former glory and is these days regarded by the marque specialist vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox. We understand from the seller that the currently indicated mileage of c.52,000 is correct. This lusty Lotus comes complete with an MOT valid to September 22, 2016.

Willys Overland Model 40 Roadster

Lot #100 (Sale Order 161 of 207)

Reputedly capable of an impressive 60mph, the Willys Overland Model 40 was powered by a 4188cc four-cylinder engine allied to planetary transmission. Based around a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension and rear-wheel brakes, the model wore 2+1-seater roadster coachwork that befitted its sporting capabilities. Well engineered, dependable and versatile, the Model 90 boasted such niceties as a folding windscreen and acetylene lighting set. Designed to be at home on made or unmade roads, the Overland proved a strong seller. Finished in Light Grey with Black upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in 'good' condition with regard to its engine, transmission, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Decidedly rakish, this Edwardian Roadster appears to have been the subject of past restoration work.

Morgan Three Wheeler

Lot #101 (Sale Order 162 of 207)

As Sir John Harvey-Jones discovered during his infamous TV programme on the company, Morgan is a unique concern that never ceases to surprise. Creating a latter-day version of the 3-wheeler on which its reputation was founded was typical of its off-the-wall thinking, but proved to be an inspired move. This one owner, righthand drive example was manufactured in 2013, since when it has driven just 4,000 miles! The special order teams Jaguar Primrose Yellow bodywork with Black leather seats, dash and elbow pads. As well as having the all important 2014 upgrades carried out, the comprehensive inventory further includes: Black roll hoops, polished cowl, Le Mans fuel filler, polished stainless steel exhaust and heat shield, and Black-painted wire wheels. The vendor unsurprisingly considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior, twin-cylinder engine and four-speed transmission to all be 'as new', and is offering the pocket rocket with full Morgan service history and photographic leather bound build record, owners' book pack and registration V23 TWM. This lot could prove very tempting - better bring your flying helmet!

Jaguar MK I

Lot #102 (Sale Order 163 of 207)

This fascinating MKI was supplied new to the Bristol Aircraft Corporation in 1958. Born as a 2.4 model, it nevertheless came equipped with disc brakes and wire wheels. In the 1990s it was uprated courtesy of a 3.4-litre engine and five speed gearbox - all the related paperwork for which is contained in a huge history file that accompanies 'PSJ 757'. The Jaguar was recently the subject of a three part series in Practical Classics magazine, within which is full detail of work carried out on the vendor's behalf by Jaguar Heritage. The bulging 140-point report they produced accompanies the car, and the chassis welding recommended by it will have been carried out by the time of the sale. In the words of the vendor, a well-known member of the classic motoring community, 'neither the interior trim nor headlining are wonderful, but the Jaguar is a great-looking, great- sounding, get-in-and-drive machine'.

Lagonda Rapier

Lot #103 (Sale Order 164 of 207)

Those seeking a project with which to while away the upcoming winter, need look no further than this partly restored Lagonda Rapier with Ranalah Sports coachwork as, according to the vendor, there is now little more than the body left to rejuvenate. Certainly much graft and investment has already been committed, with receipts for £9,107.41 in recent times alone. To give potential buyers some idea, the following items of 'YS 9445' have already been refurbished or replaced: the chassis; four-cylinder engine; carburettors; water pump; starter motor; magneto; radiator; exhaust manifold and system; clutch; preselector gearbox; propshaft; differential; wheels; Hartford dampers; brake shoes; rev-counter; speedometer; fuel tank; wiring loom; headlamps; and flooring. Known to the Lagonda Register and previously finished in Red teamed with Black interior trim, this exciting, part-completed project is now being offered together with most related receipts, a bulging history file and the original, rare Lagonda owners' instruction manual.

Vauxhall Velox PA

Lot #104 (Sale Order 165 of 207)

With the introduction of the 'PA' series Cresta and Velox in October 1957, Vauxhall embraced American styling with plentiful chrome, garish two tone colour schemes, fashionable tail fins and were often were seen wearing whitewall tyres like the sale car on offer. Originally of 2.25-litres, the overhead-valve, straight-six engine was enlarged to 2.6-litres in 1960. The standard transmission was a three-speed manual while overdrive and the two-speed Hydra-Matic auto 'box were options with a top speed of over 90mph. Finished in Grey and Turquoise with Grey upholstery 'YLW 146' is offered with history file including old invoices, service parts book, large collection of old MOTs and tax discs and a selection of spares.

Ferrari F355 Berlinetta

Lot #106 (Sale Order 167 of 207)

Capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds, 0-100mph in 10.6 seconds and 185mph, the Pininfarina-styled F355 was an undoubted supercar. Introduced at the May 1994 Geneva Salon, the F355 - available as a either fixed-head Berlinetta or targa-roofed GTS - was the standard bearer for a new generation of more technologically advanced 'small' Ferraris. Based around a robot-welded sheet steel monocoque equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, it used a new computer-controlled electronic damper system that self-adjusted depending upon the feedback gleaned from various road speed, brake pressure, suspension loading and steering sensors. Further enhanced by a ground-effects undertray, the F355 was revealed to be seven seconds and four seconds a lap faster round Ferrari's Fiorano test track than the 348 and 512TR respectively. Beautifully trimmed, the model's cosseting interior came with leather upholstery, electric windows and air-conditioning as standard. Best of all, 355s are easy to handle, and they love to rev all the way to their incredible 380bhp maximum output at 8250rpm, thanks to the longitudinally mid-mounted quad-cam 3496cc V8 being built to mouth-watering specifications: 11.1:1 compression ratio, F1-style titanium con-rods, forged alloy pistons, three inlet and two exhaust valves per cylinder (40 in total) and Bosch M 2.7 engine management system. Total F355 Berlinetta production reputedly amounted to 5,071 cars.Finished in Rosso Red with Black leather upholstery, this left-hand drive example left the Maranello factory in 1995 and it's believed to have resided in Italy until the recent arrival on these shores. Currently displaying 91,673 kilometres (approximately 56,962 miles) the Ferrari is offered with owner's handbook, original tool kit and a collection of Italian servicing invoices and registration documents. Having been Nova declared and offered with an MOT certificate into August 2016 this handsome F355 is ready to be registered to its first keeper.

Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evolution

Lot #107 (Sale Order 168 of 207)

The Giugiaro-penned Delta range was launched in 1979. The ensuing HF Integrale versions boasted four-wheel drive and turbocharged power, modified versions of which dominated the World Rally Championship between 1987 and 1992. The Evolution I models of 1991/1992 were the final batch of 'homologation specials' and featured wider track front and rear, extended wheel arches and adjustable roof spoiler.'J804 JNP' is a lefthand drive car from the second year of Evo I production. It was registered new in Italy in April 1992 and is beautifully presented in Winner Red Metallic and trimmed in Grey Alcantara. It first came to these shores in October 1998 and has had just three owners since; the current keeper having owned the Lancia since 2010 and retained it for dry use only. He informs us that it is 'highly original, unrestored and immaculate'. It has covered 88,000 kilometres (55,000 miles) to date and boasts a full service history comprising 17 stamps, all courtesy of well-known marque specialists - the Integrale has benefited from a full service recently, plus a new timing belt. The car's only departures from standard are the addition of: a full stainless steel exhaust system; OMP short shift gearchange and trim; Tarox front brake discs and pads; stainless steel flexi brake hoses; slightly shorter, stiffer road springs; Evo II 16 inch alloy wheels; and CD player. In May 2005, the Lancia won the Meguiar's Spa Italia d'Elegance, and the related cup and certificate will be supplied with the car, as well as two sets of keys, a full tool kit, and all the car's original books and paperwork. The vendor presently regards the bodywork as 'excellent', the paintwork as 'extremely good', the interior trim as 'almost as new', the turbo engine as having 'very good oil pressure', and the five-speed transmission as 'very good'. A rare offering.

Ferrari 328 GTB

Porsche 911 Carrera RS Evocation

Lot #109 (Sale Order 170 of 207)

With values of the original 1,590 2.7 RSs having surpassed £500,000 and heading towards the £million mark, it's unsurprising that interest in quality evocations continues to escalate. However, 'ABW970L' is no ordinary replica, but a totally re-engineered car of very high modern specification. It was decided the basis should be a Grand Prix White 911 equipped with G50 transmission and factory-fitted air conditioning, but no sunroof, and a perfect 1987 3.2 Carrera was duly sourced in Italy in 2006 by marque specialist Autofarm. They then subjected it to a full bare-shell restoration, using steel or fibreglass panels as per the original Carrera RS. The engine was fully blueprinted, balanced and re-engineered by Nick Fulljames to 3.5-litre specification, complete with high compression pistons, 964 cams and stainless steel exhaust. The Getrag transmission was refurbished with a new limited slip differential. The suspension was re-assembled with new Bilstein dampers front and rear, uprated torsion bars, and adjustable front anti-roll bar. The braking system now features a Brembo 4-pot caliper conversion and vented discs all round. The car sports genuine 7J and 9J 16 inch Fuchs alloy wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.The interior was completely refurbished with new period style Recaro seats. The deep pile carpet is to period lightweight style and steering is now effected by a Momo Prototipo leather rimmed wheel. This incredibly desirable Porsche also benefits from a large number of detail extras - eg uprated headlights; rear parking sensors; Toad Cat1 alarm; remote locking system etc. The total cost including donor car, duty and conversion of this 'nod to the past, built for the future' 911 was c.£100,000, and Autofarm have apparently said it would require nearer £150,000 to replicate it today. At 20,000 kilometers since completion it is barely run in and therefore represents astonishing value for the next keeper.

DFP 12/40hp Tourist Trophy Speed Model

Lot #110 (Sale Order 171 of 207)

W O Bentley's first major step on the road to automotive celebrity concerned the 1912 purchase, with his brother Horace, of the London DFP (Doriot, Flandrin et Parant) dealer Lecoq and Fernie, which they duly rebranded Bentley & Bentley. It was while visiting DFP in Paris that W O first espied an aluminium alloy piston - an innovation he then employed with great success in his racing DFPs. The 12/40 Speed Model was the embodiment of all his tuning expertise and was built exclusively in France by DFP for Bentley & Bentley. It captured 12 of the class B Speed records at Brooklands in 1913 and 1914 and finished 6th overall in the 1914 Isle of Man TT. Archives show W O driving that TT car with the registration 'LL 2687'. Although not conclusively proven to be the same vehicle, the DFP now offered is certainly an historic machine from a key period in W O's life, that would shortly lead to the establishment of Bentley Motors and its immortal 3 Litre model.It was 1986 when Cedric Cook spotted an advert for a DFP, stated to be in poor condition. It was in France and totally dismantled, but turned out to be a remarkably complete 12/40 Speed Model that the seller, a Monsieur Fallot Hughes, had acquired in the UK, complete with the registration palate 'LL 2687'. On the assumption that this and the car photographed in the Isle of Man were very possibly one in the same, it was then completely restored in that guise. The body re-construction was entrusted to Martin Hull and the badly rusted chassis remanufactured to the same gauge and pattern as the original. The only completely non-standard, non-original component is the electric starter motor. This uniquely interesting motorcar is now offered complete with that all-important registration number and VSCC eligibility document.

Subaru Impreza WRC 97

Lot #112 (Sale Order 173 of 207)

As far as historic rally cars go, Subaru Impreza WRC97001 is one of the most important ever made' (David Lilywhite - Octane magazine, May 2010)'To many, the mid 1990s was the heyday of the Subaru World Rally Team. Following the drivers' and manufacturers' double in 1995 and a further manufacturers' title in 1996, the blue and yellow Impreza was rapidly becoming the icon of the championship and Colin McRae one of rallying's great stars. 1997 brought in a new era in the World Rally Championship, with the introduction of the appropriately named World Rally Car formula. While some continued to compete with what were predominantly modified Group A cars, the new FIA regulations provided an opportunity to bring new manufacturers into the championship, who otherwise were unable to homologate suitable road cars.At Prodrive we seized the opportunity, and while our Group A Impreza was already very competitive, we went back to the drawing board to develop a new two door Impreza World Rally Car from scratch.The engineering team, led by David Lapworth, spent 1996 developing the new car, and by the last event of the season, Rallye Catalunya, we were able to unveil our new car to the world's press. Whilst at this very same event, Colin McRae gave the Impreza Group A a fitting send off by winning the Spanish rally and clinching a second manufacturers' title for Subaru. Chassis 001 was the car we unveiled and used as our primary test and development car. It was thanks to the many hours Colin and the other drivers spent at its wheel, that when it came to the car's debut at Rally Monte Carlo in January 1997, Piero Latti was able to claim victory and help Subaru go on and win a third consecutive manufacturers' title' (David Richards - Prodrive, 2009) Taking full advantage of the new WRC rules, Lapworth and his team liberated considerably more power and torque from the Impreza's force-fed 1994cc engine but without sacrificing reliability. Occupying almost an entire inner wing the newcomer's huge airbox was complemented by a similarly enlarged intercooler that sat in front of, rather than atop, the charismatic flat-four thus minimising heat soak. The turbocharger itself was little altered but revised inlet / exhaust systems saw outputs increase to 300bhp and 347lbft of torque. The use of a two- rather than four-door bodyshell brought a notable increase in torsional rigidity, while the new regulations also allowed the McPherson strut suspension to have longer travel. Less reliant on computer control than its successors, the WRC97 fed power to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and front / centre / rear differentials. Chassis 001 paved the way for its WRC97 sister cars to claim 119 stage wins and eight out of the fourteen World Rally Championship rounds between them. The eWRC-results.com website records Chassis 001 winning the 1998 Boucles de Spa Alphonse Delettre Rally in the hands of Gregoire de Mevius / Jean-Marc Fortin before being sold to Procar of Italy. Seemingly victorious on the Rali Vinho da Madeira, Rally Cyprus and Aviano Rally in 1999 that same year apparently saw it piloted by none other than nine-time motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi to eighth place on the Rally di Monza. The Subaru's accompanying FIA World Rally Car Technical Passport reveals that it contested the 1999 Acropolis Rally and 2001 Swedish Rally but retired from both due to mechanical failure. Driven on the latter event by Tomas Hrdinka / Petr Gross under the Styllex Tuning Prosport banner, the Impreza subsequently carried the duo to a handful of victories and podium placings. Rallied extensively in Ireland from 2002 - 2007, Chassis 001 proved competitive into its final season. Initially road registered as 'P555 WRC' but better known by its long-term moniker 'P18 WRC', the car had been given a superficial cosmetic refurbishment prior to entering the current ownership. Drawn to 'first editions', the vendor not only had Prodrive validate Chassis 001 but also commissioned them to restore it to 'original' condition (becoming the Banbury outfit's first heritage customer in the process). The car was renovated using only original SRT parts, many of which would be even more difficult to source today. Overseen by Prodrive sales manager Steve Smith and documented in an accompanying hardback book, the resultant rejuvenation remains highly impressive and a real credit to David Richards and his team. Acid dipping revealed that Chassis 001 had endured a busy rally life but amazingly still retained its original Prodrive bodyshell, which was painstakingly repaired by the same team who had fabricated it in 1996! Kevin Locke rebuilt the flat-four with a new stock closed-block and internals, plus the difficult to find SRT exhaust manifolds, after which it was set-up to run on super unleaded via a revised engine management map and suitable dyno testing. Fellow Prodrive staffer Darren Pentley overhauled the complete transmission and then tested it on Prodrive'

Peugeot Type 69 Bebe

Lot #114 (Sale Order 175 of 207)

Peugeot launched the B£b£ (French for baby) Type 69 at the Paris Salon of 1904, where it reputedly caused quite a sensation. Of contemporary design, it was small (110 inches long), practical, and light (770 lb), meaning that even its modest single-cylinder engine of 652cc was sufficient to propel the little two-seater at up to 25mph. Despite boasting such technical niceties as rack and pinion steering and shaft rather than chain drive, the car was attractively priced, and Peugeot managed to sell 400 examples in the first 12 months, with the newcomer accounting for no less than 80 percent of the company's total production that year. The popular Type 69 B£b£ was manufactured until 1913, when it was replaced by the Ettore Bugatti-designed Type BP1.A number of Type 69s were exported by the Audincourt-based factory, not least to the UK, where 'A 254' appears to have spent most or all of its life. What records exist show it to have been unearthed from a barn in Kent in 1937 and then entered for the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run the following year. It evidently spent the war years tucked up in a yard in London SE4, reappearing on the London to Brighton Run in 1948; an event it contested many more times up until 2001. A continuation log book shows the B£b£ to have been domiciled in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1972.'A 254' is currently finished in Black, both inside and out. The vendor, who has owned the Peugeot since October 2011, considers it to have 'good' bodywork, paintwork, 5hp engine, and three-speed manual gearbox. This charming little veteran comes complete with 1958 Veteran Car Club of Great Britain dating Certificate that confirms the year of manufacture as 1904 and lists under the heading of Major Modifications: 'side doors and cowling on dash added. Longuemare carburettor'.

Riley 11/40 Tourer

Lot #115 (Sale Order 176 of 207)

Riley's sporting 11/40 model was introduced at the Olympia show of 1919. By 1925 its detachable head side-valve engine had risen in capacity to 1645cc, increasing output from the initial 35bhp to 42. A variety of bodystyles were offered, many of which were the work of Midland Motor Body, while a number of other cars were exported in chassis form - not least to the Antipodes, where demand for the 11/40 was strong. 'DS 9184' is an example of the latter, having been shipped to Australia in 1925 and clothed in a local four-seat Touring body. For the war years it was apparently transformed into a Ute, before being laid up in a country garage for the ensuing 40 years. Enthusiast Bernie Jacobson was evidently the man who awoke the Riley from its slumbers, whereupon it was totally stripped and fitted with a new hand-crafted all-alloy body courtesy of Coachcraft of Melbourne. The original engine, gearbox, rear axle and running gear were all attended to at the same time, and the Tourer treated to fresh interior leather trim and a brand new soft top. The estimated cost of the work undertaken is £80,000 to £100,000.This delightful little veteran features Deep Prussian Blue bodywork paired with Black wings, the design of which is notably minimalist. The smart interior boasts Light Blue hide upholstery and matching carpets, and the 11/40 rides on colour-keyed wire wheels. Inclement weather can be excluded by a large Black mohair hood that is memorable for its Rileyesque diamond-shaped rear window. The vendor informs us that the overhauled engine is 'beautifully detailed, in excellent order, starts instantly, and pulls strongly and smoothly through the gears'. 'DS 9184 has apparently travelled few miles since all the work was completed and is now offered complete with a comprehensive file detailing the restoration, plus a variety of magazine articles featuring the car.

Ferrari 512 TR

Lot #116 (Sale Order 177 of 207)

Introduced at the 1984 Paris Salon, the Testarossa caused a sensation. Developed with the aid of a wind tunnel it combined a low drag coefficient with impressive negative lift characteristics (hence the lack of extraneous aerodynamic aids). As well as greater interior space, drivers also benefited from an adjustable steering column, re-profiled seats and air conditioning. Extensively reworked, the 4942cc flat-12 was lightened by 20kgs and featured ellipso hemi-spherical combustion chambers, four-valve cylinder heads and Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection. Developing some 390bhp and 362lbft of torque, it was mated to a five-speed manual gearbox but kept in check by twelve-inch discs all-round (gripped by four-pot callipers) and a limited slip differential. In 1991 the final version of the iconic 1980's Testarossa came in the form of Ferrari 512 TR costing £136,000 when new. The new TR represented a significant step up in Ferrari performance. With 41 more horsepower than its predecessor, the new 428 bhp engine achieved 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and would go on to a 195mph top speed. The chassis was extensively reconstructed, as was the 5 speed manual transmission and brakes. The bodywork received a minor facelift and this gave the TR a more aggressive stance. Predictably exclusive, production totalled 2,280.Finished in Argento Metallic with Red leather interior it's believed the sale car is only 1 of 6 finished in this combination. Displaying 32,078 kilometres (approximately 19,932 miles) we are told the 512 TR has formed part of a well maintained extensive Japanese collection. Having been Nova registered after recently arriving on these shores the Ferrari is offered with its original tool kit. A sought after model in a desirable colour combination.PLEASE NOTE: Should this lot remain in Europe, it will be subject to VAT (20%) on the full purchase price (both the hammer price and the commission).

Porsche 911 Carrera 'CT3' by TechArt

Lot #117 (Sale Order 178 of 207)

Notable as Porsche's last air-cooled 911 range, the 993 series was introduced in September 1993. A quantifiable improvement in terms of handling, ride quality and refinement, the newcomer used a monocoque bodyshell that was some twenty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing 964 series. While the adoption of multi-link rear suspension in place of the previous semi-trailing arms brought notable gains in high-speed stability and road noise suppression. Although a highly competent performer in its own right, nevertheless, for those seeking even greater performance from Stuttgart's standard products many companies can be found throughout the world offering owners the chance to modify and develop their cars where the possibilities are really only limited by technology, imagination and budget.One of the best, German-based TechArt, was founded in 1987 by Thomas Behringer. Over the years it has gained a reputation as one of the world's foremost Porsche specialists and one of the very few to enjoy factory recognition. Seen as an independent manufacturer in its own right, the company's philosophy has always been to seamlessly blend artistic craftsmanship with advanced design. In keeping with this aim, TechArt created the fabulous 'CT3' which was powered by a supercharged and bored-out 3.8-litre engine producing an impressive 462bhp. According to the company's performance figures, the CT3 accelerates from 0 - 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and is capable of a top speed in excess of 300 km/h. A truly potent machine, it is understood that only 20 examples were created, this left hand drive car being number 15.Sold new in Barcelona, Spain, and first registered on 17 March 1997, just four months later and after having covered some 2,400 km it was sent to TechArt for the full 'CT3' conversion at a cost of DM149,665. As part of the conversion work a new engine was supplied by the company. The car was subsequently acquired by the vendor in August 2003 when it had covered c.50,000 kilometres and imported to the UK shortly afterwards. At the time of cataloguing we are informed it now displays a total of 51,596 kilometres on its odometer. UK registered on 2 June 2004, this stunning example is finished in black with black leather interior and is accompanied by a detailed history file which includes invoices from TechArt. Offered with Swansea V5C document, cherished registration number and a fresh MoT.

Lagonda 2.6 Sports Special

Lot #119 (Sale Order 180 of 207)

That W O Bentley was a technical mastermind is not in dispute, yet his career left so many unanswered questions. What if Bentley Motors had survived the depression? What if the war had not interrupted his period at Lagonda and the company had remained independent? More specifically, could a W O-designed Lagonda sports car have won Le Mans in 1949? John Weatheritt built a car that went some way towards answering the latter.In 1969 he acquired a derelict 1949 Lagonda Drophead Coupe for spares, but decided to resurrect it as light two-seater that W O might just have built for the 1949 race at La Sarthe, had the opportunity arisen. Bearing in mind the post-war restrictions that would've limited Bentley's options, Weatheritt only modified his donor car where essential, and only used materials and methods that would have been available in period. Ultimately the changes to the Drophead were limited to: moving the radiator forwards and downwards, lowering the spring rates front and rear to suit the reduction in weight, and altering the steering column rake. Narrow bodies and separate wings were still in vogue in 1949, so it seemed reasonable to echo the lines of the pre-war V12 Lagonda, and he constructed a 0.5 inch diameter 16 gauge tubular steel frame as the support for the new alloy body. He sought advice from key former Lagonda employees Frank Feeley and Donald Bastow.The product of Weatheritt's labours was 9cwt lighter than the standard car so, with 123bhp on tap from the original Vantage engine, it had a favourable power-to-weight ratio. The steering proved to be 'light, sensitive and accurate, the ride comfortable, and the handling superb'. Having ultimately competed in 'JDF 47' and driven it all over Europe he felt that a Le Mans win could just have been possible. His wonderful hybrid Lagonda is now available to enrich another enthusiast's motoring life.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Cabriolet

Lot #120 (Sale Order 181 of 207)

Successor to the well respected but somewhat staid 'pontoon' range, the W111 Series was introduced in May 1959. Soon nicknamed 'Fintails' due to their overt American and Italianate styling cues, the new models were built with safety and passenger comfort as a priority. Charged with translating Paul Bracq's elegant sketches into production reality, Karl Wilfert (body design) worked closely with fellow department heads Josef Muller (engines) and Rudi Uhlenhaut (chassis dynamics) to ensure that the W111 met chief engineer Fritz Nallinger's stringent expectations. Built around a monocoque, it featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension and a swing axle rear (the latter being tempered by a transverse leaf spring that brought welcome extra composure under cornering). Exhaustively tested on German, Austrian and Italian roads prior to release, the 'Fintail' proved to be so well honed that the factory team came first, second and third in the 1960 Monte Carlo Rally.Unveiled in April 1961, the flagship 'Fintail' - the 300SE - was given its own type designation of W112. Powered by a Bosch fuel-injected M189 2996cc straight-six engine (derived from that of the legendary 300SL 'Gullwing'), the luxurious newcomer was equipped with air suspension, four-speed automatic transmission, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, leather upholstery and burr walnut veneers as standard. Initially available in four-door Saloon guise only, Mercedes-Benz's range topper could be had as a two-door Coupe or Convertible from March 1962 onwards. A decidedly handsome design (roof up or down), the 300SE Cabriolet enjoyed a notably pliant ride and effortless performance. Fearsomely expensive, the rakish soft-top accounted for just 708 sales between March 1962 and December 1967 (though, a mere 92 of those were to right-hand drive specification).First UK registered on 31st December 1964, chassis 11202322005461 is rumoured to have been supplied new to a diplomat who subsequently used it in South America, Australia and North America. Somewhat down at heel when acquired by Mercedes-Benz specialist Walter Nieuwkoop during 2004, the 300SE Cabriolet's subsequent restoration was chronicled in various issues of the UK Mercedes-Benz Club's Gazette magazine. As well as a bodywork rejuvenation and respray, the four-seater received attention to its fuel system, air suspension, cylinder head, hood and brightwork etc. Mr Nieuwkoop was awarded the '40th Anniversary Trophy' at the UK Mercedes-Benz Club's 2008 Christmas Dinner for the work he had put into the car. Further improved since entering the current ownership, the past four years have seen 'CCN 142B' benefit from a rejuvenated air suspension pump and four new air suspension bags (even though only one was leaking) plus the associated pipework. Additionally treated to a stainless steel exhaust and reconditioned automatic transmission not to mention the refurbishment of its Cream leather upholstery, the Mercedes-Benz has not long been serviced and MOT tested. Increasingly collectible, good examples of the 300SE Cabriolet are rightly sought after.

Ferrari 360 Modena F1

Lot #121 (Sale Order 182 of 207)

Introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the F355, the 360 Modena was named in honour of Enzo Ferrari's birthplace and featured an entirely new space frame chassis which was 40% stiffer and 28% lighter than that of its predecessor. Powered by a 3.6-litre V8 coupled to either a manual or F1 electrohydraulic manual transmission, the 360's lighter weight improved the 0-60 mph dash to just 4.2 seconds with a nominal top speed of 189mph. In 2001, a spyder version was introduced followed in 2003 by the ultimate incarnation - the 360 racing series inspired Challenge Stradale - featuring a number of weight saving and tuning modifications by the factory.Finished in Nero Black with Black leather interior 'DH03GCY' was supplied new to its only former keeper and formed part of an Italian private collection before being acquired by the current vendor. 1 of just 5,468 LHD F1 examples, it currently displays 35,300 km (approximately 21,934 miles) and is offered with the original leather wallet, handbooks and service book with the last entry being from May 2015 at 32,080 km (approximately 19,900 miles) which included the all-important belts being changed. It's also understood 'DH03GCY' has had a new clutch recently fitted and the Ferrari has just received a fresh MOT and inspection from specialist GT cars in Warrington, Cheshire. Offered with a collection of Italian servicing invoices, V5C, original tool kit and tyre foam kit, two sets of keys including the important red key fob the vendor describes the condition in regards to the engine, gearbox, interior and electrics as 'excellent' with the paint work as 'Good'.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

Lot #122 (Sale Order 183 of 207)

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has covered 40,000 miles since the restoration and not the 14,000 as stated in the printed catalogue. This extremely pretty 101 Series Giulietta Spider is the product of a three year labour of love by the vendor and, not just one but, a pair of dilapidated Alfa Romeos. The first was purchased in 1976, but the bodyshell was eventually scrapped when found to be too corroded. Useful items salvaged from this vehicle included: engine, gearbox, propshaft, rear axle, steering wheel, instruments, switches, the remains of the hood (for pattern), hood frame and various items of trim. The second vehicle was acquired in 1981 after living in a lock-up garage in Wimbledon for many years, following importation from the Channel Islands in 1967. It had apparently been used as a source of spares by the previous keeper and was now effectively a rolling shell which, at some time, had suffered the indignity of possessing a badly fitted Ford engine and gearbox. The remains were winched out of the lock-up and trailered to Nottingham. The project was then shelved to 1989 owing to other commitments. At this point the shell was completely dismantled and all corroded metal removed. A new rear skirt was purchased from Milan, while all other replacement panels were fabricated by the vendor and arc welded into place. The finished body was leaded as required, etch primed and ultimately finished in many coats of hand flatted Rosso cellulose, courtesy of a home-built compressor. The mechanical items saved from the first car were all renewed or refurbished and everything brought together for the first time. The only work not undertaken by the vendor concerned the hood, hood cover, upholstery, carpets and chroming. Some 40,000 miles have been covered since the completion of this historic restoration, the tangible reward for which is a range concours cups and certificates. The pretty little lefthand drive Alfa is now offered complete with the above plus V5, old MOTs etc.

Fiat 508 S Balilla

Lot #124 (Sale Order 185 of 207)

PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to view under the bonnet of this vehicle, please ask a member of staff as it is not a conventional hinge. H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description:'Born out of a design exercise that coachbuilder Ghia devised for the innovative Fiat Balilla 508 chassis, the 'S' or Sport version entered production in 1933. Benefiting from a tuned 995cc side valve engine, rear-mounted fuel tank and friction shock absorbers, its credentials as a driver's car were cemented the following year with the adoption of an overhead valve cylinder head and close-ratio four-speed manual gearbox. A popular choice on events such as the Mille Miglia, the 508S was typically supplied in kit-form outside of Italy with concessionaires in the likes of France (Simca), Poland and Czechoslovakia responsible for assembly. The British version, of which fifty were produced, differed from its Continental equivalents by dint of having right-hand drive, knock-on wheels and more elaborate instrumentation. In road tests, the 508S customarily achieved 60mph in third gear and 75-77mph in top, a very good performance for a sub-1000cc car in 1935, while in competition the two-seater often vanquished similar capacity MG and Singer opposition! 'BZ 4078' was one of four Balilla 508S cars dispatched in rolling chassis guise from Turin to the marque's English assembly plant in Wembley. Once bodied, the quartet are thought to have been bought by a Belfast car dealer. In 1965, whilst employed at Loughborough University, I was told of a Fiat Balilla 508S long wing spyder at Stow Maries in Essex. On 1st January 1966 I journeyed through a snow storm and bought 'BZ 4078' from its then owner, Bert Smith. Finished in Black with Maroon upholstery, its body tub was tired and scruffy. When I commenced restoration by rubbing down the bodywork I found that the original paint colour had been British Racing Green. I was able to use the original boot lid, bonnet, doors and wheels. The car had been fitted with a replacement Ford 10 engine but unusually this had been allied to the original four-speed close-ratio gearbox. Many of the instruments were missing.It was necessary to fit a new body tub, wings and floor. As original Fiat 508S engine 995cc parts were difficult to obtain, I fitted a Fiat 508C engine of similar design but much more robust. This engine was used from 1937 to 1951 and is a 1089cc OHV unit. The car has done 21 post-restoration miles and has been carefully stored since its rejuvenation was completed. As the engine is virtually new, it will want running-in, the brake shoes have high spots and no doubt adjustments will need to be made.The accompanying buff continuation logbook lists the Fiat's date of original registration as 28th May 1936. Subsequently, DVLA Northern Ireland confirmed its first owner to be John McGrattan of Bangor County Down who together with W. McMillan, Tommy Black and W. Sullivan achieved some notable competition results aboard 'BZ 4078':International County Down Trophy Race, Bangor - 20/6/1936. Driven by John McGrattan to tenth place. Ulster Automobile Club Hill Climb, Craigantlet County Down - 29/8/1936. Driven by John McGrattan in the Nelson Trophy.International Leinster Trophy Car Race, Tallaght County Dublin - 17/7/1937. Driven by W. McMillan with Tommy Black as his designated reserve.Phoenix Park International Grand Prix Meeting - 11/9/1937. Driven by W. McMillan and W Sullivan in a 7-lap handicap.Craigantlet - 27/8/1937. Driven by McMillan, Sullivan and Montgomery. Took three firsts and a third.Knock Club's Car Trial - 2/10/1937. Driven by McMillan to second. International Leinster Trophy Car Race, Tallaght County Dublin - 16/7/1938. Entered by Mrs R.E. Parish (Bangor) and driven by Tommy Black with McMillan as designated reserve.The car was advertised for sale in the 14th November 1958 edition of Autosport by Graham Readett who is the last keeper recorded in the aforementioned continuation buff logbook: FIAT Balilla 2-seater sports, Ford 10 engined with Ford 8 head, twin Sus, good hood and sidescreens, goes well, gearbox and body a bit rough. £100 o.n.o. - Readett, Luton'.

Bentley S1 James Young Saloon

Lot #125 (Sale Order 186 of 207)

According to Davide Bassoli's authoritative book 'Every Cloud has a Silver Lining', chassis B470AN was the third of just twenty-six S1s that James Young clothed to design number B10. Supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd (the then owner of James Young) and road registered as 199 FPF' by Surrey County Council on July 1st 1956, the aluminium-bodied four-seater later belonged to Charles Fradley Esq. of Warmingham. Purchased from the latter by Roger Wilson Esq. of nearby Wistaston in August 1989 for the princely sum of £14,000, the Bentley was subsequently treated to an extensive restoration. Having spent approximately £30,000 on the project including sourcing numerous parts from the likes of Healey Bros, Introcar, Ron Stratton & Co, Jack Barclay Ltd, Rollaben (SES) Ltd not to mention having work done by David Felton, S.C. Gordon Ltd, S. Brunt (Silverdale Staffs) Ltd and Derby Plating etc, Mr Wilson lost patience and sold the S1 to its previous keeper during August 2005. In need of an interior refurbishment but otherwise pretty much complete, chassis B470AN was entrusted to Cartlidge Coach Trimming and Upholstery (£5,799) and Chapman & Cliff Veneering and Polishing (£850). As well as fitting the Saloon with power steering, electronic ignition and five new radial tyres, marque specialist Gary Bretherton also treated its original 4.9 litre straight-six engine to an overhaul (new inlet valves / guides, replacement piston rings and reground exhaust valves etc). Described by the vendor as 'good overall' with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, this rare James Young coachbuilt S1 is offered for sale with tool kit, copy chassis cards, numerous parts bills, sundry restoration invoices and assorted MOTs dating back to September 1983 (which document an increase in mileage from 40,433 to c.44,000).

Rambler Model H Tonneau

Lot #126 (Sale Order 187 of 207)

Thomas B Jeffery of Chicago was best known for his Rambler-branded bicycles up until 1897, when he constructed his first prototype motorcar. Following positive reviews at the Chicago and New York motor shows, he entered the motor industry in earnest in 1900, setting up shop in the former Sterling cycle factory of Kenosha, Wisconsin. His new car was an instant success, and by the close of 1902 no less than 1,500 examples had been produced. This immediately made Rambler America's second largest car producer, as the figure was only bettered by Ransom Eli Olds's curved Dash Oldsmobile. Rambler was also among the first to experiment with steering wheels in place of tillers (though was initially unsure drivers would accept so dramatic a change), and was reputedly the first manufacturer to equip its vehicles with a spare wheel and tyre assembly. In 1914 Jeffery's son replaced the Rambler name with that of Jeffery in honour of his now deceased father, and two years later the company was sold to Charles Nash during the creation of Nash Motors.This charming righthand drive four-seater veteran is a single-cylinder, light touring model equipped with electric starter, three-speed gearbox, elliptic springing all-round, detachable tonneau, and brass side lamps and horn. It sports Red coachwork and quilted Black trim and would have cost its first owner the princely sum of $850 back in 1904. Apparently restored in the 1980s, the Rambler at one stage belonged to a senior national official of the Horseless Carriage Club of America, who reportedly completed a 150-mile tour in the car just before it was sold and imported to the UK in 2007. The vendor presently views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'good' condition and is selling 'BS 8472' complete with a VVC dating certificate that was granted in 2012.

1992 Ferrari F40

Jaguar MK I 2.4 Litre

Lot #128 (Sale Order 189 of 207)

When unveiled in September 1955, what we now know as the MKI was dubbed the Jaguar 2.4 Litre - the MKI moniker being a subsequent invention to distinguish the early car from the MKII version that replaced it in 1959. The newcomer was Jaguar's first unitary construction model and was sized to compete with the Humbers, Standards and Rovers that were dominating the post-war sector for middle-weight executive Saloons. As the original name suggested, the MKI was only initially available with a 2.4-litre version of the company's ubiquitous XK engine; the 3.4-litre option not appearing in the US for another 17 months, and later still in the home market. Both variants proved popular over the model's five year reign, with the MKI eventually accounting for just over half the combined sales of 37,397. Its performance was pretty impressive too, and Motor magazine's 1956 test returned a top speed of 101.5mph and 14.4 seconds for the 0-60mph sprint. A distinguishing feature of the model was its narrow rear track (it's 4.5 inches less than the front one) which though, probably incorrectly, was felt to create understeer at low speeds, endowed the Jaguar with impressive straight line stability.The righthand drive sale car vacated Jaguar's Browns Lane plant in 1959 and is thought to have spent its early life in South Africa, finally returning to these shores in 1990. The engine and carburettors have been overhauled in the last 12 months and the vendor now classes the bodywork as 'excellent'; the six-cylinder engine, Ivory-coloured paintwork and Burgundy leather interior trim as 'very good'; and the four-speed manual transmission as 'good'; and says 'TAS 905' runs and drives very well'. The car's odometer currently registers an unwarranted 32,200 miles and the Jaguar is being sold complete with a history file containing various items of paperwork and old MOTs etc.

Alvis Firefly Tourer

Lot #129 (Sale Order 190 of 207)

Introduced in September 1932, the Alvis Firefly was built to the same high standards as its more expensive brethren. Notably low-slung, it was based on a 'double-dropped' ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, friction dampers and four-wheel 14in drum brakes. Utilising a 9ft 10.5in wheelbase and 4ft 4in track, the model was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its ride / handling capabilities. Powered by a 1496cc OHV engine - essentially a four-cylinder version of that found in the legendary Speed 20 - allied to either four-speed manual or ENV pre-selector transmission, the Firefly was reputedly capable of 75mph. Available with a choice of saloon, tourer or drophead coupe coachwork, it remained in production until 1935 by which time some 871 are thought to have been sold.Despatched to Messrs John Thompson of Wolverhampton as a Carbodies Saloon on 21st December 1932, KV 3382' is understood to have acquired a replacement Cross & Ellis Tourer prior to the 1980s when its then owner and his brother embarked upon a chassis up' restoration. Entering the current family ownership during 2003, the Alvis has since been treated to a replacement J type' steering arm (2007) and fresh clutch (2013). Featured in Alvis Firefly Twelve' by Simon Fisher (p.28), KV 3382' features four-speed manual transmission and is finished in Green over Black with Red leather upholstery.

Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

Lot #132 (Sale Order 193 of 207)

Mercedes have been producing an SL model or range of models since 1954, when the landmark 300SL was unveiled. The third generation (R107) was launched in 1971, and over its 17-year reign was powered by no less than eight different engines. The 450SL option was available from 1973 to 1980. Its V8 produced some 225bhp at 5000rpm and 278 lb ft of torque at 3000rpm - sufficient to endow the model with effortless acceleration and a top speed of 135mph. The vendor of the righthand drive 450SL on sale informs us that it was recently restored and he therefore considers it to be 'one of the best around'. It evidently comes with a full and extensive history, including details of all the servicing. It sports Silver bodywork teamed with a Blue Tex interior and is being offered complete with soft and hard tops, fly screen, alloy wheels and auxiliary front lights.

Morgan 4/4 Drophead Coupe

Lot #133 (Sale Order 194 of 207)

Morgan's 4/4 (originally 4-4) has been in almost continuous production since 1936. The designation stood for '4-wheels and 4-cylinders' and the model was certainly a major departure from the 3-wheeled 2-cylinder ones with which the brand was established. The Drophead Coupe variant was manufactured from 1938 to 1950, of which only 58 were produced pre-war. Its superior folding roof, fixed window frames and other creature comforts set it apart from the standard offering, while its 1122cc Coventry Climax engine drove through a Meadows four-speed manual gearbox. The vendor describes 'BCJ 146' as 'having been very well maintained and now presented in first-class condition with excellent chrome-work, tyres and Blue over Black paintwork'. It apparently benefited from a significant restoration in the 1980s, featured in Morgan's 100th anniversary celebrations and has appeared on both VSCC and MSCC stands at the NEC Classic Car Show. It is also sanctioned to compete in VSCC events.

Aston Martin DB7 Volante 'Alfred Dunhill'

Lot #134 (Sale Order 195 of 207)

Introduced in 1994, the Aston Martin DB7 was powered by a supercharged 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine allied to either manual or automatic transmission. With a quoted 335bhp / 361lbft of torque on tap, the newcomer boasted 160mph performance. Penned by Ian Callum coincident with the Coupe, the convertible Volante was unveiled at the LA and Detroit Motor Shows of early 1996 - America being the chief market for the company's soft-tops. Just 879 straight-six powered DB7 Volantes were reputedly produced including several limited edition models. The Alfred Dunhill one of 1997 was initially intended to be unique but, under pressure from customers, the factory later agreed to produce a small run of up to 150 examples (though the eventual number was probably nearer 78, the vast majority of which were Coupes). The unique specification featured an exclusive shade of Platinum Silver paint with Charcoal-coloured Connolly hide piped in Silver Grey, brushed aluminium trim panels, white faced dash board instruments, and a Dunhill Millennium clockThis right-hand drive automatic transmission DB7 Volante is number 052 of the Alfred Dunhill limited edition run. According to the vendor, it has been enjoyed by just four owners form new and the low recorded mileage of 63,000 is supported by the Aston Martin/marque specialist service history and MOT records. The vendor describes his much loved motor car as "excellent" with regard to the paintwork and interior and "fully working" with regard to the electrical components, including the power folding roof. He informs us that the DB7 will be freshly serviced before the sale and have two new tyres fitted, and this very rare car is offered complete with Tracker, spare keys, tailored Alfred Dunhill floor mats, a car cover, and a current MOT until October 2016. Surely the perfect addition to any Aston Martin collector's motor house?

Mercedes-Benz 280 SL

Lot #135 (Sale Order 196 of 207)

Last of the iconic W113 line, the 280SL was launched in 1968. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier siblings, it was powered by a new seven-bearing crankshaft 2781cc straight-six engine that developed some 180bhp and 193lbft of torque. Equipped with all round independent suspension and ATE disc brakes, its 'square' track (some eight inches wider than the contemporary Jaguar E-type) gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power assisted steering.This left-hand drive, automatic transmission 280SL is finished in Dark Blue with Beige interior and has the desirable specification of power steering with both hard and soft tops. Having been delivered in Germany it's believed to have then resided in the USA according to the stamped service booklet and included invoices from Bowers Garage of Zelienope, Pennsylvania. Registered in the UK in March 2008 the current vendor is the third UK keeper purchasing the Mercedes in 2013. An Un-restored example 'CBY 439G' currently displays 88,219 kilometres (approximately 54,800 miles) and is described as in 'good' condition with regards to the interior, engine, bodywork and paint. This desirable 280SL 'Pagoda' is offered with the aforementioned service history, owner's manual, and Swansea V5C document. Earlier this year the Mercedes received a service and mechanical check over at c. £1,000 and is offered with a current MOT certificate into September 2016.

Volkswagen Type 2 Camper Van

Lot #137 (Sale Order 198 of 207)

According to information kindly supplied by the vendor, GAL 270D' began life as an 11-window Splittie' equipped with a Dormobile roof and Westfalia camper interior. Resident in Bath prior to entering the current ownership during 2010, the Volkswagen was thoroughly restored and upgraded over the next three years. Stripped to bare metal and repaired as necessary the body received four coats of paint prior to lacquering, while the underside was both painted and waxoyled. Refurbished brightwork from stem to stern complimented the Safari windows up front and six pop-out windows to the sides. Fitting an early Bay Window ball-joint front axle assembly not only allowed the ride height to be dropped by circa two inches (without compromising the suspension or steering geometry) but also permitted the installation of front disc brakes. Sourced from Creative Engineering, a rack and pinion conversion resulted in a far more positive helm. The adoption of a Bay Window brake servo and independent rear suspension components plus Koni adjustable shock absorbers all round gave more modern driving dynamics. An important consideration given the extra performance available from the uprated Type 4 2-litre engine (stainless steel exhaust, twin Weber carburettors, Empi heads with 40mm inlet valves etc) and slicker-changing VW Beetle 1303S four-speed manual gearbox.Extensively rewired and converted to 12-volt electrics, the Camper also gained more effective windscreen wipers and washer jets plus a 240-volt hook-up, leisure battery, Radio/CD/Sat-Nav (with facility for iPhone connectivity) and reversing camera etc. The walk through' interior features a stainless steel hob / sink, fridge, Propex thermostatically controlled heating system, light oak rounded cupboards, rear seat belts and rock n' roll beds.Riding on five-spoke alloys and showing an unwarranted 73,000 miles to its odometer, the rejuvenated Splittie' has been used by the vendor for trips with friends to the Goodwood Revival and Cholmondeley Pageant of Power etc. Far more capable / comfortable on long journeys than in its original guise, GAL 270D' is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale at a fraction of its build cost, this re-booted Camper is accompanied by numerous restoration photos / invoices and a MOT certificate valid until April 2016.

1932 Lancia Astura V8 Drophead Coupe

Lot #138 (Sale Order 199 of 207)

1932 Lancia Astura V8 Drophead Coupe

Rally Type ABC

Lot #139 (Sale Order 200 of 207)

Introduced in 1927, the Rally Type ABC featured an 'abaissee' (or underslung) chassis that endowed it with notably good handling / roadholding. Indeed such was the Paris-built sports car's reputation that MG are known to have acquired one for analysis. Available with a choice of 1.1, 1.2 and 1.5 litre four-cylinder proprietary engines allied to three-speed manual transmission, even the smallest capacity derivative was reputedly capable of over 80mph. A popular choice in 1.1 litre class events, the Rally Type ABC's period competition pedigree encompassed the GP de l'A.C.F., Spa 24 hours, GP Guipuzcoa, Bol d'Or, Mille Miglia and Brooklands Double Twelve.One of a pair imported new to the UK by motor trader J.A. Driskell and L. Cutbill Jnr to promote the marque, this particular example was finished in red, christened 'Moulin Rouge' and road registered as 'UL 8540'. Nicknamed 'Moulin Bleu', its appropriately-hued sister car bore the number plate 'UL 5582'. Entered for the MCC Land's End Trial in late March 1929, the two 'Moulins' were rewarded with Silver Medals. Contesting the inaugural Brooklands Double Twelve race two months later, 'UL 8540' demonstrated an impressive turn of speed until suffering piston failure some six hours in. Repaired using parts from the spare car, Driskell / Cutbill's mount made-up much lost ground on day two.Sold off thereafter, the Rally Type ABC was re-acquired by J.A. Driskell during early 1933. In between times he had campaigned a BNC and engaged the services of Ralph Silva as an apprentice mechanic (the latter subsequently worked for first ERA and then Prince Bira alongside Stan Holgate). Re-liveried from red to blue, 'UL 8540' participated in numerous sprints and hillclimbs with Driskell / Silva aboard as well as returning to Brooklands for the High Speed Trial and Relay Race etc. Doubtless more agile than the Ford V8 that he piloted on the 1934 Monte Carlo Rally, Driskell is rumoured to have kept the French sports car until his death during late WW2.An accompanying list of former keepers suggests that 'UL 8540' remained in the Home Counties until the mid-1950s when it migrated northwards. Acquired by Douglas John Moray Stuart, the sometime Lord Doune and 20th Earl of Moray in 1972, the voiturette formed part of his renowned motorcar collection for nigh on thirty years. Restored whilst on display at Doune Castle, it changed hands twice thereafter before entering the current ownership during 2003.Starting readily upon inspection, 'UL 8540' retains what the vendor believes to be its original but much repaired SCAP X11 1.1-litre engine. Still wearing the same 'Grand Prix'-style, tapered-tail bodywork that it sports in the numerous period photos on file, the two-seater even displays evidence of what is thought to be its initial 'Moulin Rouge' livery (visible to the chassis and axles in places). Sparingly used over the last dozen years, the Rally Type ABC has nonetheless benefited from new internals for its three-speed manual gearbox. Thought to have been fitted with an uprated rear axle during the 1930s (the original unit lacked a differential), the two-seater also sports a period Rene Thomas four-spoke steering wheel.Described by the vendor as possessing 'fair' paintwork and 'patinated' blue leather upholstery, 'UL 8540' was much admired when invited to form part of Cartier's 'Style et Lux' exhibit at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Seemingly highly original and potentially eligible for the Mille Miglia Storica among many other prestigious events, this undeniably handsome (Bugatti Type 37-esque) Rally is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and its silver medal from the 1929 MCC Land's End Trial.

Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe

Lot #143 (Sale Order 204 of 207)

1 of just 195 XK120 Fixed Head Coupes built to right-hand drive specification, chassis 669108 was supplied new via Henlys of London to the famous lady racing driver Miss P.M. Burt. Road registered as OLF 460' on January 1st 1954, the Jaguar was among Patsy's first competition cars. Driven by her in a variety of sprints and hillclimbs, it continued to chase silverware in the hands of second owner Robert Rees Esq. Though, an accompanying RAC Engineer's Examination Report dated 26th October 1961, by which time the XK120 had covered an indicated 81,639 miles and was up for sale with Performance Cars Ltd of Brentford, suggests that such spirited early use had done it no harm.Belonging to Donald Alan Clarke Esq. of Hampstead, London NW3 by May 1963 and still being MOT tested in the same locale five years later, OLF 460' subsequently fell into disrepair. Having toyed with the idea of a Nigel Dawes' car (and indeed turned down a freshly completed example at £42,500), the late Richard Colton spent nigh on £80,000 acquiring chassis 669108 and having it transformed into his own version of an uprated XK120 Fixed Head Coupe. Overseen by Michael Stewart of Stewart's Classic Motors (who had achieved numerous concours wins with his own XK120 OTS), the project took a year to complete (1996-1997).Responsible for refurbishing the chassis and body, John Brown of Leaping Cats relocated the engine / gearbox mounts so that rack and pinion steering and a tubed XK140-type radiator with closed circuit' cooling could be fitted. The suspension was enhanced via Leda telescopic rear shock absorbers, competition springs, one-inch diameter torsion bars and a stiffer anti-roll bar, while the brakes and rear axle were upgraded with four-wheel discs and a limited slip differential respectively. Aside from a Monza-style fuel filler and reprofiled arches (the latter necessitated by the presence of larger 15 x 6J wire wheels), Richard Colton wanted onlookers to be unaware of all the goodies under the skin!'Built by Rob Beere, the 3.8 litre XK DOHC engine boasted: a straight-port cylinder head, lightened flywheel, electronic ignition, high capacity oil pump, alternator, Kenlowe fan, oil cooler, D-Type camshafts, triple SU carburettors, forged Accralite pistons, wide blade balanced / shot-peened rods, top hat cylinder liners and fabricated exhaust manifolds (the latter leading to a stainless steel system that was routed through the relevant chassis cross member to improve ground clearance). Developing 264bhp @ 5,500rpm and 268lbft of torque @ 4,000rpm, the straight-six was allied to a five-speed manual Getrag gearbox. To the interior, the area behind the driver's seat was re-shaped and the oddment box removed to liberate more legroom. Interior / map reading lights were added to the headlining and the wood veneer dashboard altered to accommodate separate oil and water temperature gauges. The speedometer recalibrated and the rev counter given an electric feed. Writing in the Jaguar Drivers' Club Newsletter (July 2006 issue), Richard Colton recalled that the rejuvenated Fixed Head Coupe's first trip was a Rally Atlantique in France, a mixed marque event when it won the Most Desirable Car award. It has been to North America (JEC Anniversary Tour), JEC Millenium Tour of South Africa, Jabbeke Speed Trials (fastest XK, standing kilometre 27.68 seconds), Angouleme Circuit des Remparts, Wales, Scotland (Reivers and Highland Tour, 1,983 miles door-to-door), Entente Cordiale to Alsace, Loire Valley, Le Mans Historic, XK Club Alsace to Alps, and will be doing XK Club St Petersburg. It has also done many weekend and smaller trips in the UK'.Ever keen to increase his driving pleasure, Richard Colton commissioned Keith Fell of HRG Classic Jaguar to install a Vicarage power steering kit and polybush the front suspension during autumn 2006. Sparingly used in more recent years, OLF 460' is thought to have covered some 27,000 post-completion miles. Recommissioned during the past few months with a new SU fuel pump etc, it would doubtless benefit from a thorough service / checkover but sounds decidedly purposeful when running and does not want for performance!Sympathetically improved for fast road / rally use, this beautiful and historic XK120 Fixed Head Coupe is offered for sale with Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, continuation buff logbook, expired FIVA Identity Card, numerous restoration photos and history file.
