c.1930s Morgan Three Wheeler

Lot #1 (Sale Order 1 of 137)

- c.1930s Morgan Three-Wheeler restoration project with Matchless V-Twin engine and Super Sports-style body - Abandoned on the vendor's farm over twenty years ago - Offered for sale at no reserve and without documentation This Morgan Three-Wheeler has lain unclaimed on the vendor's farm for over twenty years. The number plate it wears - 'APH 322' - is still recorded on the DVLA and HPi databases but is associated with the chassis number 'D363'. Whereas, the number visible on its torque tube seems to read either '89' or '68'. Thus, it is possible that this lot has no claim to the registration number 'APH 322' especially as chassis 'D363' began life as a Family (4-seater) model. By contrast chassis '89' was built as a Sports (2-seater) model. The Morgan Three Wheeler Club have told us they would support an application to the DVLA for chassis '89' (or chassis '68') to be allocated an age-related registration number provided that the Morgan was 'rebuilt with appropriate period parts'. In need of extensive restoration, the Three-Wheeler appears to be fitted with a water-cooled Matchless V-twin engine (MX2/673) and separate three-speed manual gearbox. Sporting a barrel back' body, it is self-evidently incomplete. Nevertheless, this 'barn find' Morgan has the makings of a worthwhile project. Offered for sale with sundry spares but no documentation. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by Martyn Webb, the Morgan Motor Company's archivist with the following information: 'The description that you have given is mostly correct although the engine number quoted (MX2/673) is for an air-cooled overhead-valve Matchless, whereas the engine illustrated has water-cooled barrels, (MX2 was air-cooled, MX4 was water-cooled), so it would seem that the engine has been altered in the past. According to our chassis records; MX2673 was originally fitted to chassis number D1704 which was a Super Sports model, despatched on 11th November 1936 to Jordan & Co, the Morgan dealer in Hull. 'APH 322' is a Surrey registration, so it is unlikely that this was originally allocated to chassis D1704. The body is a Super Sports model from the mid-1930s, so it may be that the engine is original to the body, albeit fitted with water-cooled barrels'. PLEASE NOTE: The Morgan Three-Wheeler Club have recently been in touch to say that they do not think this lot has a claim to the registration number 'APH 322', the corresponding logbook for which was apparently sold on eBay in 2006. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1953 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire

Lot #5 (Sale Order 5 of 137)

- Ideal restoration project - Swansea V5C - Blue with red leather, manual gearbox Launched in 1952, the Sapphire range was powered by an advanced 3.4-litre six-cylinder hemi-head unit allied to either automatic or manual transmission as in the example offered here.

Purchased as a complete project in Devon in 2015 by a previous owner who intended to carry out a full restoration, work never commenced and the car was recently acquired by the vendor and fitted with a new 65AH battery, the missing ignition key replaced, engine started and found to "run well", other systems checked over, leaving just the coachwork to be refurbished or providing an opportunity to carry out a more comprehensive restoration depending on your preference. Sold strictly as viewed, it is offered with original Handbook, Workshop Manual and copy Spare parts Manual. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1954 Sunbeam-Talbot 90 MKIIa Drophead Coupe

Lot #6 (Sale Order 6 of 137)

- Finished in Grey and matched to a Grey interior - Bodied by Thrupp & Maberley and displays 47,188 miles - Current ownership since 2009 and subject to degree of re-commissioning Launched in July 1948, the Sunbeam-Talbot 90 was essentially a reworking of the company's pre-war 2-litre chassis design. However, the newcomer's adoption of overhead valve gear gave it a surprising turn of speed. Quick to capitalise, the Rootes competition department hastened the model's development. Thus, the 90 MKII of 1950 boasted not only a new chassis with independent front suspension but also a capacity increase to 2267cc. Driven by Stirling Moss, Desmond Scannell and John Cooper, a MKII finished second overall on the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally presaging the arrival of the faster, more powerful MKIIA. Equipped with bigger brakes and slotted wheels to assist cooling, the latter could be had in four-door Saloon or two-door Drophead Coupe guises. Bodied by Thrupp & Maberley, the soft top' MKIIA proved to be the rarest 90' derivative. Finished in Grey matched to a Grey interior the sale example entered current ownership in 2009 and has been subject to degree of recommissioning which has included a new wiring harness, overhauled brakes and a new exhaust. Displaying 47,188 miles the vendor currently grades the engine, gearbox, paintwork and interior as average'. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

Lot #7 (Sale Order 7 of 137)

- Genuine UK supplied first registered 8 October 1956 - Original and transferable registration mark - 2 litre petrol, overdrive gearbox This is where 'The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm and inspired by the wartime Jeep.

2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage

Lot #14 (Sale Order 14 of 137)

- 'Huge maintenance record with 15 Aston Martin stamps' - Last serviced at 86,672 miles and 'ready to go!' - Bi Xenon headlights, reverse parking sensors, Touchtronic semi-auto "For the record, the Aston Martin Symphony for 12 cylinders and 2 exhausts is the sweetest sound on tuned pipes this side of J.S. Bach himself . . . If Venus were to come calling as a GT coupe, she'd look like this" (Car and Driver, September 2000). Introduced at the March 1999 Geneva Salon, the Vantage version of Aston Martin's landmark DB7 broke with marque tradition by using a wholly different engine rather than a punchier version of its sister car's existing powerplant. Breathed on by Cosworth, the newcomer's 'heart' was a 5935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lbft. Initially available with a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had with ZF's Touchtronic semi-auto from 2000 onwards (0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, limited 165mph top speed). To cope with such performance, the 2+2-seater's structure, suspension and brakes were all upgraded. Asked to rework his masterpiece, stylist Ian Callum added a reshaped back bumper, more pronounced sills, combined driving lamps / indicators and horizontal bars to the radiator grille. Priced at £92,500, Aston Martin's flagship came with central locking, electric windows / mirrors, traction control, ABS, air-conditioning, front airbags, alarm / immobilizer and 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Notable as the marque's first V12 production model, the DB7 Vantage lasted until 2003 by which time some 2,385 coupes had been made. Finished in Buckinghamshire Green with Green-piped Cream leather upholstery, this particular example also boasts a walnut fascia, ZF 'Touchtronic' semi-auto transmission, reverse parking sensors, Bi Xenon headlights and fitted carpet mats. Last serviced at 86,672 miles, the DB7 Vantage is said to possess 'a huge maintenance history with fifteen Aston Martin stamps'. Described by the seller as 'beautiful looking and ready to go!', 'KE51 FKK' is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and two keys. A great early Christmas present!

The following are available by separate negotiation: hood, tonneau cover and bumpers.

By now engine capacity had risen to 2912cc and power output to 124bhp - sufficient to grace the standard car with a 0-60mph time of 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 114 mph. There was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive, and braking had been improved by the adoption of discs at the front. There were two body options - a two-seater (BN7) or occasional four-seater (BT7). By the time of the MKII in 1961, a total of 2,825 BN7s and 10,825 BT7s had been produced.

1924 Peugeot 172 BS Grand Sport

Lot #16 (Sale Order 16 of 137)

- Formerly road registered in France and more recently Belgium - Very rare and pretty Vintage sports car - Discretely modified with a propshaft-driven alternator, electric cooling fan and electronic ignition (hidden within the magneto) Still suffering from the financial woes inflicted upon it by World War One, Peugeot sought to increase sales by concocting a neat cyclecar design that fell within France's lowest 100 Francs per annum tax bracket. Unveiled at the 1920 Brussels Salon, the resultant Type 161 (quickly christened the Quadrilette) weighed less than 350kg yet featured a water-cooled 667cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine, three-speed transaxle, supple leaf-sprung suspension and rear wheel brakes. Very much a full-size car in miniature, and therefore appealing to the same market as the Austin 7 in Britain, early Quadrilettes were characterised by their narrow track and tandem seating. Incorporating more space for people and luggage alike, the wider tracked Type 172 arrived during 1923 (complete with two abreast seating). Among the rarest Quadrilette variants, the Type 172 BS or Grand Sport was powered by an enlarged 720cc engine. Aimed at the sporting motorist, its sleek torpedo coachwork was typically teamed with blade wings. Very much in the same idiom as the Austin 7 Ulster and Amilcar CGS Grand Sport', the Peugeot was rarer than either. Only available for 1924, just 100 Type 172 BS Grand Sports were made. Originally registered in France (or so an accompanying Permis de Circulation from 1933 which identifies it as a Type 172 BS would suggest), this delightful Grand Sport has more recently been resident in Belgium where it wore the number plate OA1767' and was the property of Daniel Vanhoolant. Understood to have participated in numerous Ecurie Les Trapadelles' events and still bearing the Club's name to its cowl, the Peugeot also wears a Veteran Car Club of Belgium plate confirming its year of manufacture. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Grand Sport has been discretely modified with a propshaft-driven alternator, electric cooling fan and electronic ignition (hidden within the magneto).

1948 Morgan 42829

Lot #17 (Sale Order 17 of 137)

- A restoration project that may have had past competition usage - 0-8,000rpm Aquaplane rev counter, twin spare wheels and replacement Ford engine - Offered for sale at no reserve and without documentation According to the Morgan Sports Car Club's records, 'JYH 340' was despatched to a London dealer on 3rd July 1947 in an unfinished state (i.e. not painted or trimmed). Originally powered by a Standard 10 OHV engine allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the 4-4 acquired what appears to be a Ford 1172cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine prior to being abandoned on the vendor's farm over twenty years ago. Now in need of total restoration, the presence of a 0-8,000rpm Aquaplane rev counter and twin spare wheels suggest that the Morgan may have had past competition usage. Offered for sale with a quantity of spares but no documentation. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

2000 Jaguar XKR Convertible

Lot #20 (Sale Order 20 of 137)

- Two previous owners and every MoT from new - Maintained by Yardley Garage for ten years - BRG with Barley interior, c.57,000 miles only, MoT to April 2018 The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company's AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph. Displaying just c.57,000 miles and described as being in "very good" condition, this cosseted example has formed part of a private collection and been enjoyed by just two previous owners. Finished in BRG with Barley interior, it was maintained by Yardley Garage for a decade and comes with spare keys, book pack, all old MoTs, tonneau cover and MoT to April 2018.

1964 Triumph Herald 12/50 Skylight Saloon

Lot #21 (Sale Order 21 of 137)

- Entered from a private Irish collection - Warranted 16,200 miles from new - Rare, surviving 'Skylight' (sunroof) model Launched in April 1959, the Triumph Herald was styled by Giovanni Michelotti. Equipped with all-round independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, its new chassis would later underpin the Spitfire, GT6 and Vitesse. An accomplished town car, criticism as to its lack of pace was answered by the introduction of the '12/50' for 1963. Powered by an 1147cc four-cylinder OHV engine that developed 51bhp and 63lbft, it was capable of some 80mph. Visually distinguished by a new grille, the '12/50' also boasted a folding 'Skylight' sun-roof and front disc brakes. According to its original logbook, this example was first registered as '563 XTG' to P.W.E. Longhurst Esq. of Penarth on 25th March 1964. The same document bears just four road fun licence stamps; the last one expiring on 28th February 1968. Acquired by Terry Lewis's Amman Garage thereafter, an accompanying invoice from DJ Motors of Llanelli suggests that the Triumph remained in Wales until the end of the 20th Century. Dated February 25th 2000, a letter on file from D. Chapman Esq. of Wombwell, Barnsley states: 'I have known the above vehicle for many years. The vehicle is totally original in every way.

Responsible for adding over 10,000 miles to its odometer, John West Esq. of Chalfont St. Giles owned the Herald from April 2002 - June 2006. Entrusted to Kingsdown Garage of Faringdon a month later by its next keeper, Anthony Goodyer Esq. of Whitchurch, Hampshire, the 12/50 benefited from attention to its back axle, speedo cable and brakes etc. Last issued with a MOT certificate at 15,801 miles on 13th May 2010, the Triumph has since covered a further 400 or so. Dry stored as part of a private Irish collection for the past few years, '563 XTG' is a true timewarp that remains in remarkably original condition.

1953 Ford Zephyr 6

Lot #22 (Sale Order 22 of 137)

- Entered from a private Irish collection - Rare, surviving first generation Zephyr 6 - Tubular exhaust manifold, aftermarket rear blind and bench seats re-trimmed in leather Introduced in early 1951, Ford's Consul (four-cylinder) and Zephyr (six-cylinder) models were notable for their use of a monocoque bodyshell, MacPherson Strut independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. Able to seat up to six thanks to the provision of a front bench seat and column gearchange, the Ford duo were powered by a new generation of 'oversquare' engines. Notably rugged and surprisingly quick, the 2262cc OHV-engined Zephyr Six proved a highly effective rally car with Maurice Gatsonides winning the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally aboard one (beating a Jaguar MKVII into second place) and Vic Preston piloting another to victory on the 1955 East African Safari Rally. Updated in September 1952, the Zephyr gained a revised dashboard with a separate instrument pod that mimicked the shape of its grille. For those Zephyr owners who wanted more performance Raymond Mays offered a range of tuning goodies from twin carburettors to freer-flowing exhausts. Suitably enhanced, the six-seater Ford could give contemporary sportscars a run for their money with a 95mph top speed! Finished in Blue with Light Grey leather upholstery, this particular example has formed part of a private Irish collection since 2006. The Ford's front and rear bench seats have been re-trimmed at some stage (leather was an optional extra in period) but its door cards look to be original. Under the bonnet the Zephyr's six-cylinder engine sports a tubular exhaust manifold but otherwise things appear pretty standard. The saloon's rear window carries an aftermarket sun blind. Wonderfully evocative of the 1950s and a comparatively rare survivor today, this appealing Ford looks to be in good overall condition and started readily during our photography session (October 2017).

c.1968 Hillman Imp Californian

Lot #23 (Sale Order 23 of 137)

- Warranted 82 miles from new! - Original paint, upholstery and engine etc - An unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere Launched in 1963, the Imp was the Rootes Group's counter to the already ubiquitous Mini. It was manufactured in the tiny town of Lindwood, Scotland and designed by Michael Parks and Tim Fry. The result was decidedly innovative and reportedly the first mass-produced car equipped with an all-alloy engine and the first volume-made British one to have its powerplant mounted in the rear. The upmarket Super Imp variant arrived in September 1965, co-incident with the MKII version of the standard car. It brought additional brightwork; over-riders; dummy front grille; wheel trims; full carpet; added sound-proofing; and a generally upgraded interior, including door-operated courtesy lights and integral ashtrays. Launched in late 1966 with the slogan 'Hallo Beautiful - meet the Imp with the fast-back look', the Californian also sported a raked windscreen, lowered roof line, dropped steering column and curved side windows for increased shoulder room etc. The work of in-house stylist Ron Wisdom, its svelte lines hid a revised front suspension set-up (less positive camber and reduced ride height) that resulted in more predictable / exploitable handling. Some £71 more expensive than its Saloon sibling, the handsome Coupe accounted for circa 6,100 domestic sales before production ceased in 1970. Thought to be unique, this particular example - chassis B401006507HCO - has covered just 82 miles from new! A former demonstration model, the Hillman has yet to be road registered (a process which The Imp Club could doubtless facilitate if a valid MOT certificate were obtained for the car). Finished in Forest Green with Green vinyl upholstery, the diminutive four-seater Coupe unsurprisingly still retains its original engine. Starting readily during our photography session (October 2017) and benefiting from a recent brake overhaul, this timewarp Californian is quite simply amazing and represents an unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere! PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by a member of the Hillman Imp Club who believes that this Californian was previously sold via a BCA auction on July 31st 2004 at which time its odometer showed just 40 miles. The associated catalogue description stated that the four-seater had not only been 'purchased new in 1968 by a somewhat eccentric aircraft engineer' but also 'remained in storage for the majority of its life'. BCA quoted a registration number of 'MDP 248F' but noted that the Hillman was not registered with the DVLA and lacked any registration documents. The vendor was told by his late father who acquired the Imp for their family collection that it was a former demonstration model that had never been registered. However, he is prepared to accept that it might be the ex-BCA car if only because the odds of two such ultra-low mileage, Forest Green Californians still existing must be slim indeed! The seller is happy to warrant the present odometer of 82 miles as representing the total covered from new and considers that the car's condition and originality speak for themselves.

1978 Triumph Stag

Lot #24 (Sale Order 24 of 137)

- Part of the renowned Patrick Collection from new until December 2004 when it entered the current ownership - Notably late example that has covered just 10,800 miles from new - Original Passport to Service, handbook, Supercover documentation, 4-speed maual plus overdrive Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard- and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived. Retaining its original Passport to Service, handbook and Supercover documentation, this particular example formed part of the renowned Patrick Collection from new until December 2004 when it entered the current ownership. Issued with its last MOT certificate on January 7th 2004 at 10,187 miles, the Triumph has only covered an additional 700 miles since then. Resprayed from Red to Jade Green at the Patrick family's request before it even left the showroom, the Stag was treated to routine maintenance whilst in their care including a new clutch and overdrive overhaul etc. Benefiting from a Kenlowe fan, the factory-fitted V8 engine started readily during our recent photography session (October 2017). Offered for sale with the aforementioned paperwork, handwritten Patrick Collection maintenance log and assorted old MOT certificates (including its first one at 3,576 miles).

Powered by a revised version of the marque's long-serving 6.75-litre V8 (albeit in turbocharged guise) allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and 155mph. Further benefiting from a stiffer bodyshell, revised suspension and bigger brakes, the luxury saloon came with an Alpine sat-nav system and parking sensors as standard. Finished in Gloss Red with Cream leather upholstery, this example was previously owned by ex-WBC heavyweight champion Frank Bruno MBE.

1938 International D2 Pickup

Lot #27 (Sale Order 27 of 137)

- Imported to the UK during the late 1990s and restored thereafter - A decidedly rare sight on British roads - Subtly upgraded with an alternator and 12-volt electrics Period pickups tend to ooze character, and that's certainly the case with 'SSJ 914'. It's presented with Green over Black bodywork and rides on Red wheels shod with whitewall tyres - the load bay features a fully boarded floor and wooden side rails. Built in 1938, this charming D2 Pickup was restored 60 years later, following its importation to the UK around 1997/1998. Its electrical system benefits from a conversion from 6 to 12 volts and an alternator in place of the original dynamo. The brake system has recently been checked and cleaned, and the vendor currently classifies the bodywork, six-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission as being in 'very good' condition, the paintwork as being 'good', and the Red and Green interior trim as 'average'. A splendid vehicle for helping to promote a business or just having fun. By International's standards, the D2 was a hot seller, with more than 80,000 examples manufactured between 1938 and 1940.

1907 Rover 6hp Tourer

Lot #29 (Sale Order 29 of 137)

- Used by a honeymooning couple during the Edwardian era (photo on file) - Refurbished during the 1950s and again in the 1990s - Known to the Veteran Car Club for sixty odd years Introduced in 1905, Rover's 6hp two-seater was only its second four-wheeler, as the company transitioned from the role of successful cycle and motorcycle manufacturer into the brave new world of motorcars. The newcomer featured a steel-reinforced wooden chassis suspended at either end by semi-elliptic leaf springs, and was powered by a water-cooled, single-cylinder, side-valve engine of 780cc. The unit drove through a three-speed manual gearbox (with column-mounted change) to the rear wheels. There was a pair of brakes - one operating on the rear wheels and the other on the transmission. Around 2,300 6hp Rovers were manufactured over seven years of production. Some 24 are believed to have survived - 18 of them in the UK, one of which is now for sale. Finished in the eye-catching combination of Brunswick Green coachwork, Beige upholstery and Yellow artillery wheels, 'DU 1644' is a 1907 version, the first record of which concerns an undated photograph of an Edwardian couple embarking on their honeymoon. The car was apparently first restored in the early 1950s, following which it was authenticated by the Veteran Car Club and began participating in their events. Little is then known about it until recently, other than that it was treated to a second bout of refurbishment in the '90s and then recommissioned in 2013 following a long period of storage. Over the last two years it has benefited from new exhaust system, windscreen, front wheel bearings, kingpins, track rod ends, water pump housing, idler bearing, trembler coil and commutator, plus new old stock '40s Zenith carburettor (original specification ones are now unobtainable). The vendor presently grades the bodywork, interior trim, engine and transmission as 'good' and the paintwork as 'average', and says the Rover 'drives very smoothly through the gears and cruises at c.20mph'. An ideal car for such VCC events as the 'Creepy Crawley Rally'. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4

Lot #31 (Sale Order 31 of 137)

- 2 private keepers & just 15,843 miles from new - Complete with original book pack with all handbooks plus service book - Described as 'excellent' with regards to the bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and manual five-speed gearbox Released in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. The aerodynamic styling was arguably ahead of its time and caused initial controversy - one eminent UK journalist nicknaming it the 'jelly mould'. Ford had the last laugh, however, with sales eventually reaching 1,299,993 units over the 11 years of production; making it Britain's 10th most popular car up to that time. Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i in 1983. This was followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth in 1987, the Sierra Sapphire in 1988 and the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 in 1990; some 12,250 of which were manufactured before Ford's power mantle was assumed by the Escort RS Cosworth in 1992. Though the 4x4 Sapphire never managed to emulate the two-wheel drive Cosworth's victory in a round of the World Rally Championship (Corsica, 1988), it nevertheless become a popular and successful weapon in national events, and examples are still contesting club rallies to this day. The immaculate example offered is understood to have started life as a showroom demonstrator and has only covered 15,843 miles to this day. Following periods in the care of St Helens Ford and then Corner Ford of Coventry, it was the property of a Mr Nigel Leek of the same city from 1990 until acquired by the vendor in 2007. Equipped with Bosch Green injectors and a ceramic clutch, the Cossie is presently considered by its vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, White paintwork, Black interior trim, 2-litre engine and manual five-speed gearbox. He is now offering it complete with original book pack with all handbooks plus service book, collection of old invoices, tax discs and MOT certificates, plus one valid into August 2018.

'TCA 740' has been finished using modern paints and rust-proofing materials and is presented with British Racing Green bodywork complemented by Magnolia-coloured leather interior trim, Tan hood and hood envelope, and Dark Green carpet. The vendor unsurprisingly presently classes the car's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, XK engine and transmission as all being in 'Very Good' condition. A superior example fully suited to today's roads and traffic. Introduced in the May of 1957, the XK150 was the last Jaguar sportscar to utilise a separate chassis. Though a logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes gave it a distinctly more modern air. At launch, it was offered in Fixed and Drophead Coupe guise, the Roadster option following in 1958. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type in 1961, some 4,445 Fixed Head Coupes, 2,672 Drophead Coupes and 2,265 Roadsters had been produced.

1970 Morris Minor 1000 Saloon

Lot #38 (Sale Order 38 of 137)

- Part of the Old Hall collection since July 1977 and just one previous keeper shown on its V5C Reg Doc - Used by the vendor's children to learn to drive and as shared 'weekend wheels' - Understood to have covered just 42,900 miles from new and MOT'd till Oct 2018 Debuting alongside Jaguar's superbly glamorous XK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Morris Minor was somewhat overshadowed. An exceptionally advanced design, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was capable of some 77mph. Reputedly first owned by Mrs Nellie Baldwin of Thirsk - the sole previous keeper listed on its V5C Registration Document - this particular example has formed part of the Old Hall collection since July 1977. Used by the vendor's children to learn to drive and as shared 'weekend wheels', the Morris is understood to have covered just 42,900 miles from new.

- Part of the Old Hall collection since May 2003 - Desirable short wheelbase, 3-litre diesel, five-speed manual example - 32 entries in the service book and MOT'd till October 2018 Development of the G-Wagen - short for Gelandewagen or 'Cross Country Vehicle' - began during the early 1970s at the suggestion of the Shah of Iran (then a major Mercedes-Benz shareholder). Exhaustively tested amidst the German coalfields, Sahara Desert and Artic Circle, the first workable prototype emerged during 1974. Entering production five years later, the G-Wagen began its metamorphosis from functional off-roader to luxury SUV in 1981 when niceties such as air-conditioning and automatic transmission joined the options list. Available in short- and long-wheelbase guises, Mercedes-Benz's evergreen 4x4 was thoroughly revised for 1990. Rechristened the 463 G-Class, it gained a trio of electric locking differentials, full-time 4WD, ABS brakes and an upgraded interior complete with wooden accents. Supplied new by main dealer Monarch Cars (Tamworth) Ltd, 'L766 COJ' returned to them for regular maintenance up until 118,242 miles.

1965 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII

Lot #41 (Sale Order 41 of 137)

- A desirable home market, 'matching numbers' car - Supplied new by Cogger & Hawkins Ltd of Aylesbury complete with wire wheels and overdrive - Recently repainted and re-trimmed with 93,700 recorded miles Unlike many Big Healeys we see these days, APO 373C is a genuine matching numbers, home market example that came off line in July 1965 destined for the dealer Cogger and Hawkins of Aylesbury, Bucks. It was built with a considerable number of desirable factory-fitted options including: overdrive, wire wheels, adjustable steering column, tonneau cover, laminated windscreen and heater. Fifty two years on, and the mileage stands at an eminently credible (be it unwarranted) total of 93,700. In 2009 the car benefited from an overhaul of its twin SU carburettors and the installation of an electronic ignition system. The gearbox and overdrive unit were overhauled in 2016, and in recent times the Healey has been repainted in its current shade of Blue, retrimmed in Blue-piped Cream hide and treated to a fresh Blue mohair hood. Taking all these improvements into account, the vendor presently views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and manual four-speed gearbox as all being very good' order, and is now selling the 3000 complete with Heritage certificate, and collection of invoices and old MOTs, plus a current MOT valid into March of next year. The Austin-Healey 100 was the toast of the 1952 London Motor Show, from when the newcomer enjoyed steady development. The four-cylinder cars gave way to the 100-Six of 1956, which in turn was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final iteration was the 3000 MKIII, which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the derivatives, it had lively performance courtesy of its 150bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind up windows and a walnut-veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs.

1971 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible

Lot #42 (Sale Order 42 of 137)

- Formerly the property of the late Sir Bruce Forsyth CBE - Blue with Blue hide and Blue roof - Current MoT and good history file In production between 1971 and 1996, the Rolls-Royce Corniche Drophead came to epitomize luxury open-air motoring. An accepted accoutrement alongside the private jet and crewed yacht, it was fabled for its extravagantly sumptuous interior and hushed drivetrain. Named after a region famous for its gently winding roads and breathtaking scenery, it was powered by a tuned version of Crewe's staple 6750cc V8 engine mated to automatic transmission. Equipped with firmer springs, thicker anti-roll bars together and revised steering geometry, it proved a more satisfying drive than its humbler saloon car siblings. Though, the presence of olio-pneumatic suspension and a plethora of electric motors ensured that it remained a singularly cosseting experience. Naturally favoured by the rich and famous, it is no surprise that this example was owned in the 1970s by the late Sir Bruce Forsyth CBE, then enjoying considerable success on the nation's television screens. Invoices on file to him cover the period to 1978 when it is understood the car was sold. By 1987 it was in the possession of Alpine Grant, the brother of musician Eddy Grant. Passing through the custody of four other keepers, it was acquired by the vendor in 2006. Subsequently kept in a dehumidified heated garage, it presents well with only minor marks to the dark blue paintwork. The blue hide and interior woodwork also look very good. A comprehensive history file accompanies the car including MOTs going back to 1987 and various service items including invoices from Ghost Motor Works Ltd. who carried out a full service in October 2015, and overhauled the brakes including the accumulator spheres, valve bodies, and hoses to the tune of £4,800.00. Offered with Swansea V5C and copies of the chassis cards, this stylish drophead Rolls will carry a new MoT in time for the sale.

1990 Bentley Turbo R

Lot #43 (Sale Order 43 of 137)

- Finished in Cobalt Blue and trimmed in Blue-piped Cream-coloured hide - Just 18,162 miles from new and 4 prevoius keepers - Offered complete with its original wallet of handbooks and stamped service book Unveiled at the 1985 Geneva Salon, Bentley's Turbo R was based on the chassis of the Mulsanne and powered by a modified version of the engine from the Mulsanne Turbo. The chassis changes were especially key to the model's success, as this was to be an unashamedly sporting motorcar, requiring tauter suspension than the Mulsanne. The front anti-roll bar rate was therefore increased by a whopping 60 per cent and that on the rear by no less than 80 per cent. Tuned dampers replaced the standard units of the Mulsanne and a Panhard rod was fitted to limit lateral movement of the axle. A front air dam was added for improved aerodynamics. The 6,750cc engine with Garrett AiResearch turbo was retuned with Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection for increased torque. The result was a stump-pulling 487 lb ft - sufficient to launch the leviathan to 60mph in under six seconds and on to a top speed of around 150mph. Braking was by discs all round, ventilated at the front. In order to optimise traction and road holding, the Turbo R was equipped with wider tyres than the Mulsanne, which were mounted on alloy wheels - a first for the marque. The R became one of the Rolls-Royce Group's best-selling models between 1985 and 1995. The immaculate example on offer is a May 1990 model finished in Cobalt Blue and trimmed in Blue-piped Cream-coloured hide. Though on its fifth keeper it has covered a mere 18,162 miles from new, so is barely run in. This handsome and exceedingly fast motorcar is now on offer complete with: its original wallet of handbooks and stamped service book; collection of invoices; and print-out of the car's MOT history, as well as an advisory-free certificate valid into October next year. An awful lot of Bentley for the money. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1937 Talbot BI 105 Airline Saloon

Lot #44 (Sale Order 44 of 137)

- Stalled restoration with much work completed in the 1980s - Engine overhaul by Arthur Archer c.30 years ago, rechroming done etc. - Believed to include most parts to finish Unveiled at the October 1935 London Motor Show, the BI 105 was arguably the last 105 variant to remain true to designer Georges Roesch's engineering principles. Notably rigid and low-slung, the newcomer's chassis was reinforced by the use of a massive tubular cruciform brace and additional perforated channel sections to the inner face of its main side members. Equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension, Luvax adjustable dampers and large-diameter drum brakes, the BI 105 was powered by a free-revving 3-litre straight-six engine allied to Wilson pre-selector transmission. A rival to models from Alvis, Bentley and Lagonda, just 97 BI 105s are thought to have been made. This fascinating project has been in the current ownership for the past eight years following its acquisition from Birmingham coachbuilder Jack Castle. The vendor has now reluctantly decided that family commitments will prevent him from lavishing the time and attention required to restore the car. We are informed that much work was carried out in the 1980s including an engine overhaul by Arthur Archer (never run since and free) and an overhaul of the pre-selector gearbox. The suspension and braking system were also attended to, whilst much of the brightwork has been rechromed. The vendor believes almost all parts needed accompany the car together with a Swansea V5C, two old buff logbooks and a history file containing two original handbooks and information from Archers. One of just a tiny handful of survivors, DLP 937 represents a rare opportunity for the discerning Talbot enthusiast. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

Lot #45 (Sale Order 45 of 137)

- Light blue with black interior, replacement Spyder chassis - c.£6,000 spent on recommissioning in 2010 with Bateman's Performance Engineering - Recent hood, stored last four years, 44,981 miles recorded The original Ron Hickman-penned Elan looks as fresh as when it burst onto the roads in 1962 and, thanks to its lightweight, stiff backbone chassis, fully independent wishbone suspension and potent twin-cam powerplant, will still show a clean pair of heels to many a far younger rival. The vendor informs us this light blue example has enjoyed just three previous owners since being first registered in February 1968. The second owner was a stepson of renowned Lotus racer Adam Currie. A replacement Spyder chassis was fitted in 1988 whilst some £6,000 was invested in recommissioning works in 2010 with specialists Bateman's Performance Engineering including new CV drive shafts, fuel tank, ignition, brakes etc. A recent hood has also been fitted and a tonneau cover is included. In storage for the past four years, PXE 468F would now benefit from attention to the cosmetics and in our opinion would make an ideal winter project.

- Restored 2014 - 2015, thousands spent, red with retrimmed beige calfskin interior - 48,600 miles, Mot to September 2018 - Invoices for works from Melvyn Rutter, O'Rourke Coachtrimmers etc. This Four-Seater Plus 4 was restored between 2014 and 2015 having been acquired by the owner in 2004. Whilst he carried out some tasks himself, much of the work was entrusted to specialists Melvyn Rutter who also supplied many of the parts. The level of detail needed to satisfy the owner being reflected in the fact they had the car in their workshops for at least a year. The interior was also re-trimmed in calfskin leather at great expense by O'Rourke and a new dashboard fitted. The vendor advises the total outlay with these two companies amounted to approximately £29,000. The fold-flat windscreen completes the sporting look. Performance courtesy of the 136bhp four-cylinder T16 Rover engine is brisk and the car presents extremely well, only a hood will need to be sourced due to the vendor's preference for top-down motoring and the fact it has never been driven in rain since purchase in 2004. A full-length Mohair tonneau is included however. Offered with invoices for the restoration, Swansea V5C and current MoT to September 2018, this lovely Moggie is ready to be enjoyed.

- Recent repaint and new hood, dark blue with tan interior - Wood refurbished, carpets replaced - Good quantity of old MoTs back to 1983, assorted invoices The Vitesse was launched in the April of 1962 and was effectively a big-engined version of Triumph's four-cylinder Herald range, based on the same backbone chassis. Like the Herald, it was styled by Giovanni Michelotti, who managed to redeploy most of the Herald body panels while giving the newcomer its own distinctive character, courtesy of a 'Chinese eye' four-headlamp front end. Power initially came from a 1596cc version of the family's straight-six Vanguard engine, though this was enlarged to 1998cc in 1966, when a more robust gearbox and better disc/drum brakes were also installed. Originally starting life as a saloon, LAO 354E is understood to have been converted around 1980 being enjoyed by two owners for the next twenty years.

1943 Ford GPW Jeep

Lot #53 (Sale Order 53 of 137)

- Used in the European Theatre of Operations during World War Two (and retains a bullet hole to its inner wing) - Later saw service with the Norwegian Armed Forces for many years - Runs and drives well and has been to the D-Day beaches recently Arguably more iconic than a Sherman Tank or P-51 Mustang, the Jeep is for many the definitive WW2 vehicle. Equipped with a torquey L-headed 2.2-litre engine driving all four wheels via a three-speed manual box and two-speed transfer case, the tough, go anywhere four-seater did its job exceptionally well. By the end of the war, 647,870 Jeeps had been produced - 281,448 of which were manufactured by Ford. Reported to have seen service in the European Theatre of Operations during World War Two, this Jeep carries a corroborating bullet hole to its inner wing which in turn explains the presence of a replacement Kaiser Supersonic Model 4L134 engine. Otherwise, the 4x4 is thought to retain its original body tub and seat frames (the latter with the correct 'F' logo still clearly stamped into them). Maintained and used by the Norwegian Army for decades, the Jeep presents as a workhorse rather than a show queen. Driven from Norway to the UK, it is variously described by the vendor as being in 'good' (paintwork), 'very good' (engine, interior trim) or 'excellent' (bodywork, electrical equipment, transmission) condition. Taken to the D-Day Beaches recently, chassis 112537 is among the more authentic Jeeps that we have encountered. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1974 Ford Capri RS 3100

Lot #54 (Sale Order 54 of 137)

- Finished in Sebring Red and just 1 of just 250 examples - Supplied new to a Mr Donald MacKenzie of Scotland and 60,741 recorded miles - Offered with original order sheet, owner's handbook and collection of invoices The RS3100 was a limited edition Capri built to homologate the parts needed for Ford to compete head-to-head with BMW in the European Touring Car Championship. The regulations technically required a minimum production of 1,000 cars, but in the end only 250 RS3100s were constructed (one at Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations in South Ockenden and 249 at Halewood on Merseyside), 50 of which were sent to Australia, making the model an unusual sight on UK shores. Power came from Ford of Britain's trusty V6 Essex engine over-bored to 3091cc and equipped with hand finished inlet and exhaust ports for superior gas flow. The result was a lusty output of 148bhp at 5500rpm, leading to a 0-60mph acceleration time of 7.3 seconds and a top speed in excess of 125mph. Other items of note included: dual circuit braking system with ventilated front discs; lowered and stiffened suspension; relocated track control arms resulting in negative cambered front wheels; lightly flared wheels arches covering six inch wide alloy wheels; neat chin spoiler and large boot lid-mounted ducktail one on the rear; front quarter bumpers. Most other items were as per the Capri 3000GT, on which the RS3100 was based. The model was only available through Ford's network of Rallye Sport dealers. The tidy example being sold is finished in the strident colour of Sebring Red teamed with the Black vinyl interior common to all RS3100s. We are informed it was supplied new to a Mr Donald MacKenzie of Scotland in August 1974, and 43 years later it is displaying a credible (though unwarranted) 60,741 miles. It is offered complete with original order sheet and owner's handbook, DVLA ownership history, and a collection of old MOTs and invoices. Interest in 'The Car You Always Promised Yourself' is escalating steadily, making good examples of the rare RS3100 ever more sought after.

1953 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe

Lot #55 (Sale Order 55 of 137)

A lefthand drive export model it was sold new in 1953 via the company's Los Angeles distributor Hornburg. As now, it was finished in Dove Grey complemented by Tan-coloured interior trim. Apparently it did a modest amount of racing in Arizona in the 70s, the area it spent most of its life in until being shipped to Germany in 1990, where it was stored in a container awaiting a renovation that was never completed. Fast forward to 2015 when it was acquired by a classic car company who sold it to the vendor a year later, following which he instigated a full body-off restoration, during which no corrosion was encountered. The refurbishment involved: a total bare-metal respray; full retrim, including dashboard and carpets; replacement hood; fresh chrome bumpers and grill; and new Guy Broad five-speed gearbox, wire wheels and tyres. The total of the parts alone was over £24,000. It is intended that this desirable XK will be UK registered in time for the sale and it comes complete with Heritage certificate. The stunning-looking XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when launched at the 1948 London Motorshow. Capable of 120mph and more, it immediately assumed the mantle of the world's fastest production car. The equally elegant Fixed Head Coupe version followed in 1951 with the Drop Head Coupe completing the range in 1953. The key to the car's electrifying performance was its all new, alloy-headed DOHC 3.4-litre, straight-six engine, the basic design of which successfully powered a whole range of Jaguars until the late 80s. In order to confirm the model's top speed potential to the press, the second XK120 built was driven flat out on the Jabbeke straight, Belgium, achieving an astonishing 136.596mph in stripped form.

- Original RHD UK supplied example with 62,500 recorded miles - Re-painted in 2013, over-drive equipped and known ownership from new - Overhauled carburettors last year, MOT'd to July 2018 and ready to be enjoyed Donald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show that not only impressed the public, but also so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 and the rest, as they say, is history. The 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development with the four cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final version was the 3000 MKIII which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the models, it had a lively performance courtesy of its 150bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind-up windows and a walnut veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs. As one of the last of the line, the 3000 offered is a desirable home market MKIII Phase 2 model. Its supporting paperwork confirms it was built on January 15, 1967 and delivered new the following month to Martins Caravan Co. of Exeter.

1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster

Lot #57 (Sale Order 57 of 137)

- Repatriated from America in 1989 and believed to have covered just 2,200 miles since being extensively restored the following decade - Originally finished in Cream with Red upholstery and a Blue roof (the same livery it pleasingly sports today) - Sympathetically improved and recommissioned during the current five-year ownership (hi-torque starter motor, improved oil filtration, polybushed suspension, new in-tank fuel pump etc) - 'Matching' chassis and engine block numbers Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and accessible price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While, early competition success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent roadholding / handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its dashboard was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. According to an accompanying letter from Jaguar Cars Ltd, this particular example - chassis 877233 - was built on 2nd May 1962 and originally finished in Cream with Red upholstery and a Blue hood. Despatched from Browns Lane to Jaguar Cars New York, it remained Stateside for twenty-seven years before being repatriated by J.G. Johnston Esq. Purchased from the latter by M. Butcher Esq., the E-type was treated to an extensive restoration including conversion from left- to right-hand drive between 1990 and 1995. Paperwork on file indicates that much of the work was carried out by Andrew Morgan and MG Engineering of Great Yarmouth. Although, the two-seater still required fettling when acquired by previous keeper Brian Marshall of Hitchin during January 1995 as assorted bills from the likes of XK Engineering Ltd, SC Parts Group and SNG Barratt testify. Sparingly used by Mr Marshall, 'VSU 331' is thought to have covered just under 2,000 miles in his hands. Dry stored for a couple of years prior to entering the current ownership during June 2012, the Jaguar has since been recommissioned. As well as new gaskets, its 3.8 litre straight-six engine gained a new hi-torque starter motor and improved oil filtration system. Pleasingly, the cylinder block appears to be the car's factory-fitted original, while its cylinder head looks to be a correct-type replacement (from another pre-1963 E-Type). A fresh in-tank fuel pump was fitted and the fuel system gone through. The suspension was polybushed and the brakes overhauled with the rear subframe being removed, checked over and repainted too. Starting readily upon inspection and presented in its original livery, this delightful E-Type has been exhibited at several local car shows and is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.

1943 International Harvester M5 Half-Track Personnel Carrier

Lot #58 (Sale Order 58 of 137)

- Used during the Allied liberation of Europe most likely by the Polish forces - Subsequently seconded to the French Army who stationed it in French Guyana, South America for decades - Brought back to France in the 1980s and sold to Belgian collector, and Supreme Court Judge, Mr Louis Amerijckx who stored it in the grounds of his chateau - Acquired from Mr Amerijckx by Ivo Rigter in Summer 1987 and treated to a 2,500-hour, 'chassis up' restoration over the next twenty-seven years! - Correct-type engine was overhauled by the Bugatti works during the 1960s (and again as part of the refurbishment). Genuine parts were used wherever possible and sourced from all over the globe - Vehicle is liveried in the markings of the Polish 10th Regiment Dragonders and as a tribute to the famous Polish SOE Agent Maria 'Krystyna' Janina Skarbek. Surviving WW2, she became a British Citizen and took the name Christine Granville Conceived as a high-mobility infantry vehicle capable of resisting small arms fire and shell / mortar splinters whilst carrying a dozen troops at speeds in excess of 40mph, the M3 Half-Track was also considerably easier to drive than a Full-Track machine. Despite the best efforts of the White, Autocar and Diamond T Motor Companies, demand was still outstripping supply by mid-1941. Approached by the US Army's Ordnance Department, the International Harvester Company of Chicago, Illinois designed its own version. Utilising 5/16-in homogenous armoured plate (as opposed to 1/4-in face hardened steel), the resultant M5 was heavier than the M3 but compensated by featuring a strengthened chassis and hull, tougher 'banjo' axles and more powerful International Harvester RED-450B straight-six OHV engine. Credited with developing some 143bhp and 348lbft of torque, the latter was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Visually distinguished by its flat-section front wings and rounded rear corners, the M5 is deemed by many to be the ultimate Half-Track. Over half of the 4,625 IHC Half-Track M5 Personnel Carriers made came to Britain to be distributed under the Lend-Lease programme. Delivered on April 27th 1943, this particular example - serial number M5-2696 - is believed to have been used by Polish forces during the Allied liberation of Europe and thus may even have participated in the capture of the Kriegsmarine naval base at Wilhelmshaven. Known to have been in Germany following the cessation of hostilities, it was thoroughly overhauled by the Mercedes-Benz Works before being reallocated to the French Army. Stationed in French Guyana, South America for decades, the Half-Track returned to France during the 1980s where it was acquired as surplus by the Belgian collector Mr Louis Amerijckx. Then a Supreme Court Judge and chateau owner, Mr Amerijckx took some persuading but eventually sold the M5 Personnel Carrier to Dutch enthusiast Ivo Rigter in 1987. Determined to return the IHC machine to factory specification and condition, Mr Rigter scoured Europe and the United States in search of correct parts. Some twenty-seven years and 2,500 restoration hours later, the Half-Track was finally completed to his satisfaction. Despite their Mercedes-Benz overhaul plaques, the pre-refurbishment engine and gearbox were found to be too heavily water damaged to reuse. Another RED-450B straight-six OHV engine was duly found (and turned out to have been overhauled by Bugatti during the early 1960s), while Mr Stel from Radio Kootwijk provided a replacement gearbox. The rear tracks were sourced from Portugal and any truly obscure components made from scratch by Mr Rigter and his team. A hobby that turned into a business, by the time M5-2696 was completed Mr Rigter had founded the BAIV BV International Trading Company (BAIV standing for British and American Invasion Vehicles). The quality of the work which has gone into rejuvenating the Half-Track has to be seen to be appreciated but an idea can be gleaned by viewing the following YouTube link: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVZjReelx9dNWmoaewpMIZk7-XFGI-kSK Sporting the markings of the Polish 10th Regiment Dragonders, the M5 Personnel Carrier also has the name 'Krystyna' emblazoned on its doors as a tribute to Christine Granville (nee Maria Krystyna Janina Skarbek) a remarkable Polish lady who served as a Section D and SOE agent during WW2 and who may or may not have inspired the character of Vesper Lynd in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel 'Casino Royale'! Driven less than 1,000 miles since the completion of its painstaking restoration, the use of modern materials means that its rear tracks appear all but unworn. Participating in the Dog Green Camp Omaha Beach 2014 meeting, the IHC machine has also been used by the vendor for taking friends to the pub! Potentially road legal once UK registered, it would make a hell of a statement at the Goodwood Revival! Only coming to market because the vendor wishes to reduce the size of his military vehic

1955 Guy Otter Flat Lorry

Lot #59 (Sale Order 59 of 137)

- Formerly the property of the Wednesbury Tube Co - Treated to an extensive 'chassis up' restoration in the 1990s and recently repainted to a high standard to refresh its cosmetics - 3800cc diesel engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, 2-speed Eaton back axle Works Manager at Sunbeam until 30th May 1914 when he resigned to found Guy Motors Ltd, Sydney S. Guy was a highly driven individual who left a lasting impression on the British Motor Industry. Within four months his fledgling concern not only had its own factory at Fallings Park, Wolverhampton but was also producing an innovative 30cwt lorry. Built using a much lighter form of pressed steel frame (where rivals employed far heavier rolled steel channel ones), the latter became renowned for its ability to cross rough terrain. Diversifying into the manufacture of aero engines and even depth charges during WW1, Guy Motors Ltd dabbled with motorcar production during the 1920s before concentrating on commercial vehicles. The firm's famous Red Indian mascot appeared in 1934 (inspired by its 'Feathers in our Cap' advertising slogan) and that same decade witnessed the launch of the forward-control Otter. Reintroduced after WW2, the Otter could be had with a choice of petrol or diesel engines and from 1952 featured an all-steel cab. Formerly the property of the Wednesbury Tube Company, this particular example is a long wheelbase, alloy-bodied, drop side flat lorry. Powered by a 3.8 litre Gardner 4LK diesel engine allied to a David Brown gearbox and driving the rear wheels via an Eaton two-speed back axle, it was treated to an extensive 'chassis up' restoration during the 1990s. Recently re-painted to a high standard, the Otter sports a Red chassis, Burgundy cab / body and Black wheels. Described by the vendor as being in 'very good' (interior trim) or 'excellent' (bodywork, engine, transmission, paintwork, electrical equipment) condition, this handsome Guy lorry would make an ideal promotional vehicle or period car transporter.

1969 Ford Mustang Bud Moore Trans-Am Tribute Car

Lot #60 (Sale Order 60 of 137)

- Built in the USA as a tribute to the legendary Bud Moore race cars and authentically detailed - LHD, tuned 351ci V8 engine, 4-speed Top Loader manual gearbox, 3.77 Positraction rear end - Period bucket seats, uprated suspension / brakes, open side pipes, currently set-up for American circuit usage Awarded five Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars during World War Two, Bud Moore showed the same courage and conviction in his civilian endeavours. A talented engineer with a celebrated eye for detail, he was already something of a NASCAR legend when Ford asked him to prepare two Mustangs for Parnelli Jones and George Follmer to drive in the 1969 SCCA Trans-Am Championship. Based around bodyshells that had been specially lightened and strengthened by Kar Kraft of Brighton, Michigan, the SportsRoof Mustangs that Moore created proved faster but more fragile than Roger Penske's hitherto unstoppable Chevrolet Camaros. Undeterred, the Blue Oval badged racers he developed for 1970 won six out of eleven rounds that year and with them the Championship title. Built in the USA as a tribute to Bud Moore's fabled 1969/70 Trans-Am cars, this beautifully detailed Ford Mustang racer is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' order with regard to its tuned 351ci V8 engine, four-speed Top Loader manual transmission, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Set-up for American circuit usage, it further benefits from a fuel cell, 3.77 Positraction rear, period race seats / belts, heavy-duty suspension and uprated brakes. Sounding decidedly purposeful through open side pipes, this stunning Mustang would doubtless be great fun on competitive Tour events.

1931 Morris Family Eight Saloon

Lot #61 (Sale Order 61 of 137)

- Part of the Old Hall collection since December 2011 - Supplied new via the main London Morris distributor Stewart & Arden Ltd - One of just twenty-three known survivors and pleasingly retains its original 847cc OHC engine Introduced in August 1931, the Family Eight was the last model to utilise Morris's sophisticated, WW1 aero-engine inspired 847cc overhead camshaft engine. Based on a stretched wheelbase version of its Minor sibling's chassis (up from 6ft 6in to 7ft 7in), the newcomer also boasted a rear-mounted fuel tank, safety glass and hydraulic brakes. Faced with a marginal per unit profit margin and instances of oil leaking down the drive shaft from the camshaft bevel into the dynamo (a non-issue these days thanks to modern O' rings), Morris dropped the Family Eight Saloon and Eight Sports Coupe after a single season during which they had accounted for just 4,488 sales. According to a letter on file from the Morris Register dated 17th November 1988 to then owner J. Thompson Esq of Huddersfield, MU 3842' was one of only twenty-three Family Eight Saloons known to have survived. The same missive states: The registration number series "MU" were specifically allocated by Middlesex to the main London Morris distributors, Stewart & Arden Ltd'. Still bearing a supplier's plaque for South London Motors Ltd, an accompanying continuation logbook suggests that the four-seater belonged to George Mileham Esq. of Mablethorpe, Lincs by 1935 and Ivan Pickering Esq. of Melton Mowbray, Leics some thirty-three years later. Subsequently owned by R.C. Schofield Esq. of Aldwark and S.E. Schofield Esq. of Thirsk, the Morris has formed part of the Old Hall collection since December 2011. Pleasingly powered by its factory-fitted OHC powerplant, the Family Eight also appears to retain much of its original Green leather upholstery. Starting readily during our recent photography session (October 2017), MU 3842' benefits from a new fuel pump and fresh MOT certificate. Showing an unwarranted 38,250 miles to its odometer, this delightful Family Eight comes with a period Operation Manual and sundry paperwork.

1994 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III

Lot #62 (Sale Order 62 of 137)

- 1 of just 211 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III Saloons made - Two previous keepers and 43,400 miles from new - Part of the Old Hall collection since January 2006 A square-cut, broad-shouldered design, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was styled in-house by Fritz Feller. Introduced at the 1980 Paris Motor Show, it enjoyed notably greater road presence than its Silver Shadow predecessor as well as a thirty percent larger glass area. Thus, while it looked suitably imposing from the outside, internally it proved pleasantly airy. Although, based on the Shadow floorpan, the Spirit offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine to a muted hush. Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Spirit II featured a sophisticated automatic ride control system that adapted to changing road conditions almost instantaneously, ergonomically enhanced new look' dashboard, four-speed automatic transmission and standard-fit alloy wheels. Arriving in 1993, the Spirit III boasted more power thanks to redesigned cylinder heads and manifolding, airbags for both driver and front seat passenger and revised rear lights. Decidedly short lived, just 211 Spirit III saloons are thought to have been made. Finished in Racing Green with Spruce-piped Sandstone leather upholstery, chassis SCAZS02C4RCH54811 was supplied new via Henlys of Chester to John Fallows Esq. of Maghull, Liverpool. Purchased by Ron Pearlman Esq. of Structadene Ltd, London from dealer Ron Stratton of Knutsford on 17th July 1997 for £55,750, the Rolls-Royce showed some 22,500 miles to its odometer at the time. Some twenty years later the same instrument now displays some 43,400 miles.

A three owner, low mileage example of one of the rarest Silver Spirit variants, this highly presentable luxury saloon is offered for sale with history file and MOT certificate valid until October 2018.

Leverton & Co Ltd of Spalding to Derek Crouch Esq. of Peterborough - Original buff logbook and registration number, MOT'd till October 2018 Typifying the growing economic confidence of the mid 1950s, the Bentley S1 was larger, faster and more boldly styled than its R-Type predecessor. Introduced in 1955, there was nothing average about its 'Standard Steel Saloon' bodywork. A masterclass in formal elegance, it was underpinned by a new cruciform-braced box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a twin SU carburettor fed 4887cc straight-six engine allied to standard-fit four-speed automatic transmission, the S1 could exceed 100mph.

Joining the Old Hall collection a year later, the S1 was treated to some £1,642.44 worth of fettling by marque specialist Prestige Services of Leeds during May 2016. As well as a new Olive West of England cloth headlining and other trim work, the Sports Saloon benefited from attention to its ignition, carburettors and seat belts plus an oil change.

1972 Aston Martin V8

Lot #66 (Sale Order 66 of 137)

PLEASE NOTE: We apologise but this Lot is Withdrawn from our 15th November 2017 Auction. - 1 of just 288 made, original factory-fitted engine subtly upgraded - Exquisitely restored to concours award winning condition by Warren Classics - Faster, more composed and better finished than when new Introduced in April 1972 shortly after Aston Martin had been acquired by Company Developments, the new V8 was visually distinguished from its DBS V8 predecessor by a black mesh grille and twin (rather than quad) headlights. Under the skin, the two shared the same platform chassis, DeDion rear axle, independent front suspension, power steering and disc brakes. Another carry over was the 'quad-cam' 5340cc V8 engine allied to either five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Credited with developing some 310bhp and 360lbft - thanks in part to its Bosch mechanical fuel-injection system - the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and almost 160mph (figures which would not be properly eclipsed until the arrival of the fearsome Vantage). Only in production for fifteen months, just 288 of the first generation twin headlight' V8s are thought to have been made. This must be one of the very best Aston Martin V8 Saloons that we have had the pleasure of offering. Exquisitely restored to concours award winning condition by Warren Classics, its fit, finish and general presentation levels are a real tribute to the company's employees. Completed on 22nd November 1972 in Imperial Blue with Natural leather upholstery, chassis V8/10620/RCA was despatched to supplying dealer Arnold G. Wilson Ltd of Leeds a week later. Entering the Warren Classics' workshops some forty-three years on as a partially stripped project, the Aston Martin was found to be substantially original. Disassembled to bare castings, its factory-fitted engine (number V/540/445) was comprehensively overhauled with components pressure tested and x-rayed as necessary. Bored out to 5744cc, the V8 gained an uprated: oil pump, high-flow water pump, electronic ignition system, timing chains, rubbing strips, head-to-block studs and competition exhaust headers not to mention Ross racing pistons, balanced internals and polished / ported cylinder heads. The automatic gearbox was thoroughly refurbished and the differential rejuvenated. A Harvey Bailey handling kit was installed and the brake system properly renovated. The sheet steel platform chassis and aluminium bodywork were exhaustively repaired with new panels being fabricated and installed where needed. Once free of any corrosion the engine bay, cabin and underside were primed and then coated with Satin Black. The wiring was tested / renewed and the instrumentation recalibrated. The brightwork was replated / refinished and the interior treated to replacement pads and foam inserts before being retrimmed using fresh Connolly leather and Ambla as per the manufacturer's original specification. The alloy wheels were refurbished and shod with fresh tyres. In short anything that needed doing was done. Faster, more composed and better finished than when new, HWK 916L' benefited from the assistance of the following during its rejuvenation: Nicholas Mee & Company Ltd (Aston Martin Heritage Approved Specialists), Aston Martin Heritage Trust, Rikki Cann Ltd, JMB Services, AJS Engineering Services, Tower Bridge Diesel and Mass Dyno. Worthy of the closest inspection, this stunning Aston Martin V8 is offered for sale with a detailed restoration file and MOT certificate valid until September 2018.

Lot #69 (Sale Order 69 of 137)

- 5 previous keepers and only 58,100 miles from new - Fitted with bespoke drinks cabinet in the boot - Offered with its original book pack with handbooks plus service book There was always scope for the production of a vehicle that combined the no-nonsense Land Rover's off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the American SUV a decade later that finally convinced Rover to create such a model. Spen King famously oversaw the '100 inch Station Wagon' project that was finally revealed as the Range Rover in 1970. The David Bache-penned newcomer was powered by the ubiquitous Rover V8 which was connected to a permanent four-wheel drive system for optimum traction. The sale example is finished in Bronze matched to a cloth interior and was supplied new by Lex Landrover of Knutsford.

King in 1967 and current ownership since the 1970s - Dry garage stored for many years and now in need of restoration The 300, aka W186, Mercedes produced between 1951 and 1957 was the company's largest and most prestigious model of the period, and a rival to Rolls- Royce's Silver Cloud.

The 'C' variant was the last of the line and featured an enlarged rear window and the option of automatic transmission. The 'barn find' sale car was supplied new in 1956 to the Tulketh Spinning Co. of Preston by Glovers of Ripon.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 B 'Adenauer' Cabriolet

Lot #71 (Sale Order 71 of 137)

- Very rare right-hand drive example and current ownership since 1971 - First registered to Mercedes-Benz UK and retained by them until 1965 - Substantially complete but in need of restoration With global interest in classic cars showing little sign of abating, one might imagine all the gems that were secreted away in barns and garages over the years had been unearthed and accounted for. Happily, that's not the case, as confirmed by this sale's pair of Mercedes-Benz 300s which have remained hidden in the West Riding of Yorkshire for the past 20 years. These exciting finds were among the most expensive cars on the planet in period. However, it is this four-door Cabriolet that is of especial interest, as it is thought to be one of just seven righthand drive examples and therefore exceedingly rare as well as very desirable. We are informed that it vacated the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart on November 19, 1953. Originally finished in Middle' Red, it was first registered to Mercedes-Benz UK and retained by them until 1965. It was then the property of two private owners before being acquired by the vendor in 1971. These days it sports Deep Blue bodywork teamed with a sumptuous Grey leather interior. Though clearly in need of restoration, it is in sound condition and substantially complete. It presently displays a credible total mileage of 76,296 and is now being made available complete with buff log book, original service book, sales parts list, instruction manual, and some photos of it in its pomp. A truly unique opportunity for Mercedes-Benz collectors everywhere.

The B version of the car was introduced in March 1954 and benefited from vacuum-assisted power brakes and an increase in power to 123bhp. The Adenauer' sobriquet was a nod to Germany's Chancellor of the period, who owned several W186 models. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

Lot #74 (Sale Order 74 of 137)

- Current family ownership since 1979, c.30,000 miles only from new - Original hood, body attended to and bare metal respray in 2015 - Manual transmission, current MoT to October 2018 The last E-Type Jaguar rolled off the production line in 1975, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations, its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motorcar. It made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon and was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. From birth, the car was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964. With the change came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. For 1966, a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range. It was 9in longer and featured a more vertical windscreen. The Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971, virtually all of which were fitted with Jaguar's new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as Roadster or 2+2 Coupe. Production continued until the model was superseded by the XJS in 1975, by which time some 15,000 V12-engined cars had been produced. The manual transmission Roadster on offer is a very original March 1972 example that has been in the current family ownership since 1979. Its Primrose Yellow bodywork is teamed with a Black leather interior and original Black hood, the car riding on Chrome wire wheels. The vendor advises the recorded mileage of just c.29,800 is correct from new. It was treated to a bare metal respray as recently as 2015 and is now considered to have 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V12 engine and transmission. It comes with a number of old MOT certificates and one valid into October 2018. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1929 Hotchkiss AM2 Tourer

Lot #75 (Sale Order 75 of 137)

- Seven years of labour went into creating this vintage Tourer on a AM2 rolling chassis - The open tourer coachwork was copied from the Gurney Nutting body - Subject to a comprehensive engine overhaul and offered complete with photographic record of the restoration Seven years of painstaking labour went into creating this vintage Tourer. It is based on an AM2 rolling chassis purchased from Ren£ Barke of Normandy in 2008. The instigator of the project was a trained engineer, member of the British Hotchkiss Society, and owner of a later AM80 model, so well qualified to take on the task. The chassis was completely stripped and the engine, gearbox, torque tube, rear axle and running gear all totally refurbished. The open tourer coachwork was copied from the Gurney Nutting body of the restorer's AM80. Its construction comprised a framework of French ash panelled in 2mm birch WBP plywood (apparently as used on the WWII De Havilland Mosquito). The outer structure was then finished with a layer of British Racing Green-coloured fabric and the interior trimmed in Beige leather. The comprehensive engine overhaul included: a crankshaft regrind; cylinder rebore; new pistons, valves and bearings; and machining of the cylinder head. For superior lubrication a contemporary full-flow oil filter was installed with additional feed to the timing gears. The completed masterpiece first took to the roads in March last year and has covered just 1,000 since. As all aspects of BF 7189' are either new or refurbished, it's no surprise that the vendor presently considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed transmission to all be in very good' order, and he's now offering this interesting motorcar complete with photographic record of the restoration. The chief interest of the French Hotchkiss concern was the manufacture of munitions, and it was a slump in demand for those products that caused it to commence car manufacture in 1903. It is ironic that the Hotchkiss Drive' (the transmission system of live axle and open propeller shaft) that still features on the vehicles of many other manufacturers was not used on the AM2.

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series III 4.2 2+2

Lot #76 (Sale Order 76 of 137)

- Chassis Number One and Body Number One - The first left-hand drive Series III 2+2-seater made and the only example fitted with a 4.2-litre XK engine - Referred to by Jaguar Enthusiast magazine as 'A Ghost of an E-Type' and 'the one missing link' (August 2017 issue) - Offered from the collection of music producer Pete Waterman and in his care since the late 1980s. Although conceived to power a new generation of saloons (starting with the MK VII), Jaguar's first 'clean sheet' engine design debuted aboard the XK120 Roadster. Sir William Lyons' reasoning being that it was less risky to prove / develop the straight-six DOHC XK unit in a low volume sportscar than a high volume 'tin top'. The same thought process applied to the Coventry manufacturer's second 'clean sheet' powerplant. Hence, its much vaunted 5.3 litre SOHC V12 was 'debugged' in the Series 3 E-Type before appearing in the XJ12 Saloon. Reconfiguring the E-Type to house the 60-degree V12 was no easy feat. As well as a new bulkhead and front subframe, the Series 3 gained revised steering, brake and suspension assemblies plus a host of bodywork and interior changes. With the V12 representing a relative leap into the unknown and the XK unit having a loyal following courtesy of its five Le Mans 24-hours victories, Jaguar engineered the Series 3 to accept both powerplants. Early brochures thus mentioned 'A new Jaguar Engine - the 5.3 litre V12 to supplement the 4.2 litre six cylinder XK engine' and even featured pictures of the latter but in reality derivatives equipped with the smaller powerplant were never made available to the general public. Marque authorities have suggested that a mere six or seven cars were factory-fitted with XK DOHC 4.2 litre engines during the development and production of the Series 3 (though, some of those were heavily modified Series 2/3 hybrids). As such, the Series 3 4.2 litre is rarer than any other E-Type variant including the fabled 'Lightweight'. Presumed lost for many years and so referred to as 'A Ghost of an E-Type' and 'the one missing link' by Jaguar Enthusiast magazine (August 2017 issue), this particular example is wrongly listed on various websites as chassis number 1S70001 or 1W700001. In fact, the number clearly stamped into the 2+2-seater's original chassis plate reads '1W70001', while its body and engine numbers are recorded as '4W50001' and '7R39503-9' respectively. Although Jaguar Heritage quote the first left-hand drive Series 3 2+2-seater as being chassis number 1S70001 with body number 4S50001, '1W70001' would most likely have been identified as such many moons ago had it not formed part of music producer Pete Waterman's private collection since the late 1980s. A long-term Jaguar enthusiast whose stable has included C- and D-Types as well as other significant E-Types, Mr Waterman acquired the unique Series 3 via marque specialist Lynx. Published in the December 1980 issue of Jaguar Driver magazine, a letter from the 2+2-seater's then owner James Johnson of Brooklyn, New York outlines its early history... PLEASE NOTE: The Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate for this lot states that it was initially sent to the Jaguar Cars Ltd Experimental Department. The manufacturer's Car Record Book further confirms that the E-Type was originally finished in Warwick Grey with Red interior trim and quotes its chassis, engine and body numbers as: '1W 70001 BW', '7R39503-9' and '4W 50001' respectively. The chassis plate currently fitted to the car appears to be a factory installed item but lists the chassis number as '1W 70001'. Furthermore, the 2+2-seater is equipped with four-speed manual rather than Borg Warner (hence BW) automatic transmission. We queried this anomaly with the Jaguar Heritage Trust and they replied as follows: 'It is entirely possible that during its time as an experimental vehicle a variety of gearboxes were fitted'. They also commented: 'Jaguar did build chassis 1S 70001, but not with the body number you suggest. We would describe chassis 1W 70001 BW as the first and only LHD Series 3 with a 4.2 litre six-cylinder engine'. So there you have it, this historic E-Type is 1 of 1.

1934 Aston Martin 1.5 Litre 12/50 Long Chassis Tourer

Lot #77 (Sale Order 77 of 137)

- Recently repainted in dark blue and retrimmed with burgundy leather - Delivered new as a saloon, it is understood to have worn touring coachwork since the 1960s - Competed in the 1938 Scottish Rally, detailed history file One of very few examples produced on the long-wheelbase Standard chassis, 'G3/297/L' was originally bodied as a saloon and finished in black / maroon with black leather. The accompanying chassis card shows the first owner as one E C Peacock Esq of Castleford. Two further owners are listed, the most recent being W G Paddon (1946), while the AMOC Register records the car as participating in the 1938 International Scottish Rally driven by Christopher Angell. Angell modified the car with 'helmet' front wings and twin outside exhaust pipes, and repainted it white. An old-style continuation logbook lists Roy French as owner in 1968, followed by Richard Loveys, from 1971. By then it had been re-bodied as a tourer, as evidenced by reference to a 1967 advertisement in accompanying correspondence. Some restoration work had been done by Roy French, including the interior; nevertheless, it was decided to strip the car down to the chassis and rebuild it. Various specialists, principally Morntane Engineering, carried out the works, which were completed in 1979. The car was now painted white with green interior, re-trimmed later in tan leather. Richard and Sandra Loveys used the car extensively over the next 35 years, as recorded in its lengthy entry in the AMOC Register. As well as AMOC events, the Aston took part in the two-day Norwich Union Classic Run on numerous occasions, and in 2005 formed part of the St George's Day parade at Windsor in front of HM The Queen. The Loveys' last entry is for the year 2013 when the car attended no fewer than seven events. In 2016 the car was repainted in dark blue and trimmed with burgundy leather. A new hood, tonneau and sidescreens were also fitted. Offered with detailed history file and Swansea V5C. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1955 Jaguar XK140 SE Fixed Head Coupe

Lot #78 (Sale Order 78 of 137)

- A Special Equipment model supplied new to the USA but later resident in Australia - Extensively restored / upgraded in 2010 including conversion to right-hand drive, power assisted steering, four-wheel disc brakes - Further benefiting from five-speed manual transmission, wider wheels / radial tyres and air-conditioning etc Launched at the 1954 Motor Show, the XK140 boasted the same bewitching styling as its forebear but allied it to a host of mechanical improvements. Chief among these was the adoption of rack and pinion steering. Though, the fitment of telescopic shock absorbers (in place of the XK120's antiquated lever arm dampers) also had a noticeably beneficial effect on handling / roadholding. With its engine and bulkhead repositioned three inches further forward, the new model enjoyed a notably roomier cabin (the fixed and drophead coupe variants gaining occasional rear seats as a result). Available in 'standard', 'special equipment' or 'special equipment plus C-type cylinder head' guises, power and torque outputs ranged from a quoted 190bhp/210lbft to 210bhp/213lbft. Distinguished by its one-piece bumpers and simpler, more imposing radiator grille, the XK140 was among the fastest cars of its generation. Reputedly capable of over 130mph, it focused public consciousness on Jaguar's continued success at Le Mans (the Coventry marque winning the endurance classic in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957). Supplied new to America as a Special Equipment model, chassis S814633DN subsequently relocated to Australia where, in 2010, it was extensively refurbished and upgraded. As well as being converted to right-hand drive, the 2+2-seater was fitted with an uprated cooling system, electric boot release, wider wheels shod with radial tyres, four-wheel disc brakes, five-speed manual transmission, power assisted steering and air-conditioning. Starting readily upon inspection, its twin SU carburettor-fed 3.4 litre DOHC XK engine allies a MKVII block to a MKI cylinder head. Feeling discernibly modern on a recent brief test drive with an impressive turn of speed, this handsome XK140 SE Fixed Head Coupe has completed several long distance tours in the vendor's hands reportedly 'proving a reliable and enjoyable companion on each one'. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document and Heritage Certificate. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

c.1949 Ford F-1 V8 Woodie Estate

Lot #79 (Sale Order 79 of 137)

- Reputedly supplied new to the US Consulate in Ireland for use by the Consul General's bodyguards (and one of just three such 'Woodies' made) - Treated to an extensive bodywork / woodwork restoration by S.T. Foreman of Bosham, West Sussex during the 1990s - Formerly registered with the DVLA as 'MSU 202' prior to entering the current Irish ownership Introduced in late 1947, the F-Series was Ford's first post-WW2 truck design. Also known as the Bonus-Built, the newcomer boasted a one-piece windscreen, wider cab and integrated headlamps. The majority of F-Series were supplied in Pickup, Panel Van, Cab over Engine or School Bus guises (though, Ford also sold bare chassis for speciality bodies to be built upon). Power was provided by a range of 'Flathead' straight-six and V8 engines. Most variants utilised three-speed manual transmissions but some of the heavier duty ones had five-speed gearboxes. Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive remained an option on all F-Series until 1959. Stylistically updated with a single-bar grille in 1951, the first-generation Bonus-Built was superseded by the F100 for the 1953 model-year. The F-Series Pickup proved to be the USA's best-selling vehicle for 23 years and its best-selling truck for 31. Reputedly one of three such Ford F-1 light commercial chassis that were specially bodied in Cork for use by the US Ambassador to Ireland's bodyguard troupe, this unusual Woodie Estate later migrated to Llangendeirne, West Wales. Acquired by hoteliers Mr & Mrs Knowles of Bramshaw, Lyndhurst in February 1996, the Ford ferried numerous of their guests around over the next seventeen years. Entrusted to coachbuilders, S.T. Foreman Woodwork Restorations of Bosham, West Sussex, the F-1 emerged from a full bodywork refurbishment during 2007. Powered by a 239ci (3.9 litre) V8 engine allied to three-speed manual transmission, assorted paperwork suggests that Mr Knowles sourced any necessary mechanical parts from marque specialist Joblot Automotive Inc of New York. Sparingly used since entering the current Irish ownership four years ago, the Ford remains presentable and is said to 'drive very well'. Offered for sale with various restoration photos and sundry paperwork (including an expired V5 Registration Document for the number plate 'MSU 202').

1950 Alesso Formula Libre Single-Seater

Lot #80 (Sale Order 80 of 137)

- Designed by Don Juan Ovidio Alesso with help from Juan Manuel Fangio as an all-Argentinian single-seater that could challenge for international honours - Bespoke 7-litre, quad-cam, flat-12 engine, aeronautically inspired multi-tubular chassis, hand-crafted aluminium body - Promised support and funds by the Peron government which never materialised and outmoded before its full potential could be realised A highly gifted and innovative engineer with a passion for motorsport, Don Juan Ovidio Alesso initially conceived this enormously ambitious single-seater for domestic Formula Libre racing during the mid/late 1940s. However, as the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio, Benedict Campos and Jose Froilan Gonzales began to establish themselves on the European racing scene so the idea was floated of equipping them with a 'homegrown' machine that could fight for international honours; a challenge that Don Alesso was only too willing to accept. Determined that its chassis, engine and body should be of Argentinian manufacture, he set to work. Influenced by contemporary aeronautical practice, the unique multi-tubular frame that Don Alesso fabricated saw several of its members double-up as oil and coolant tanks / conduits. Keen to assist with the project Fangio is understood to have sourced a set of Rudge Whitworth wire wheels and the independent front suspension from a competition Alfa Romeo. However, Don Alesso rejected the latter because he felt it would be unable to adequately support the newcomer's bespoke powerplant. Displacing 7054cc, the flat-twelve engine in question boasted a seven-bearing crankshaft, monobloc construction, four chain-driven overhead camshafts, two valves per cylinder and six downdraught Rochester carburettors. Estimated to develop some 300bhp @ 4,200rpm, it was allied to FIAT 525 manual transmission and drove the rear wheels via a heavy-duty differential (a lighter alternative disintegrated during one of the single-seater's earliest outings). Interestingly, Don Alesso's choice of a flat-12 configuration mirrored that of Dr Ferdinand Porsche's 1939 Auto Union and 1946 Cisitalia Grand Prix engine designs (the first Ferrari flat-12 debuted in 1964). Having won the Rafaela 500-mile race on 24th December 1950 aboard a Talbot-Lago T26C, Fangio stayed in the area to attend a fund-raising banquet for the Alesso single-seater. Hampered by a lack of funds and teething troubles with the monstrous 7-litre powerplant, progress on the Formula Libre project was slow. After a series of successful test bench runs, the engine was finally installed on November 11th 1952 with the car making its public debut at Buenos Aires' 'October 17th' Autodrome shortly thereafter. Present that day were Juan Manuel Fangio (who had helped arrange the unveiling) and Luigi Villoresi both of whom apparently tried the Alesso and praised it to 'Peronist World' magazine. Argentinian president Juan Peron took an interest in the single-seater promising land and money but sadly neither materialised. Don Alesso continued to develop the car driving it himself on occasion before employing the services of motorcycle champion Francisco Gonzalves who achieved the single-seater's best result at the Parque Urquiza in Parana. A change in Formula Libre regulations saw the car outmoded just as it was beginning to show promise. Clothed by Don Antonio Thimental in thin-gauge steel with an alloy bonnet and originally finished in the Argentinian national colours of blue with a yellow bonnet (traces of which are still visible in places), Don Alesso's amazing creation had been mothballed by the decade's end. Migrating to France during the 1990s, the single-seater was then bought by the late Paul Foulkes-Halbard and put on display at his Filching Manor Motor Museum. Mr Foulkes-Halbard is understood to visited Juan Manuel Fangio in Argentina to verify the car's provenance and to have planned to restore it to his former glory. Sadly, a fatal stroke in 2003 put pay to such plans. Coming to market for the first time in twenty-two years, the Alesso is said to be substantially complete though items such as the clutch, rear shock absorbers, timing wheels and instruments etc are missing. A fascinating piece of motorsport history with connections to a driver that many consider to the greatest of all time, the Alesso will surely be a sight (and sound) to behold once restored.

1933/2010 Peter Gregory MG K3 Evocation

Lot #81 (Sale Order 81 of 137)

- Stunning team car style Mille Miglia evocation by Peter Gregory, the last example built - 1087cc supercharged engine, Wilson pre-select gearbox, British Racing Green / Apple Green leather - Twin fillers, rare torpedo lamps, slab tank, hydraulic brakes etc. The original K3 prototypes were built in the racing department at Abingdon over the winter of 1932, powered by supercharged 1100cc engines on specially made chassis with modified C-type racing bodywork. After initial success on the Monte Carlo Rally, three team cars were prepared for the 1933 Mille Miglia to be driven by Earl Howe / Hugh Hamilton, George Eyston / Count Lurani, and Henry Birkin / Bernard Rubin. Birkin would retire with a broken valve, but the remaining cars went on to break existing class records, taking first and second in class and winning the team prize as well. Driven by the leading drivers of the day, numerous other victories followed and the K3 remained a contender for top class honours in international events for the next couple of years. The late Peter Gregory, known throughout the world for his expertise and knowledge of the MG marque, was entrusted to restore many notable competition examples and went on to create a limited number of the most exacting evocations of the racing variants. This example was the last produced and built for his own use rather than as a commercial proposition. A most convincing evocation of one of the 1933 Mille Miglia MG K3 team cars, it is fitted with a 6-cylinder 1087cc engine and Centric 270G supercharger whilst the cable operated large Alfin drum brakes which would have originally been fitted have been upgraded to hydraulic operation using Riley parts. The transmission is a correct Wilson Pre-Selector type gearbox. The racing bodywork is painstakingly crafted to represent a 1933 Mille Miglia works car including a slab tank with twin fillers, cycle wings and the distinctive torpedo side lamps. The paintwork has been finished in British Racing Green as were the works cars with matching painted 19-inch wire wheels. Aero screens, a folding windscreen and full tonneau provide protection from the weather for the driver and passenger. A large Jaeger tachometer dominates the instrumentation, which includes an oil pressure gauge, oil and water thermometers, fuel gauge, oil tank gauge, ammeter, supercharger boost gauge and supercharger oil pressure gauge. Gregory's attention to detail was extensive and a dash mounted KiGass hand pump is also fitted to prime the fuel system to assist cold starts. Running both a magneto and dynamo set up, a cut-off for the racing battery and USB point are also fitted. In the current ownership the car has been re-registered under the 'works style' number JB 1443, adding to its appeal, whilst the accompanying Swansea V5 records a DVLA issued chassis number. With prices and availability of original examples making them a dream for many, this stunning looking evocation represents an extremely useable and sensible alternative.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

Lot #82 (Sale Order 82 of 137)

- In the current ownership since 1974 (2nd owner) and registering less than 20,000 miles - Sable with Beige leather, manual transmission UK RHD example - Restored in 1987 by Southern Classics and now requiring attention to cosmetics Owned by the vendor since 1974, XTN 372H has had just two private owners from new. A copy old logbook shows it was first registered to a company of the original owner who then transferred it into his own name. The dealer from whom the car was purchased also registered the car totalling four entries but just one private previous keeper. The mileage in 1974 was 7,302 and whilst the owner cannot warrant the mileage was correct when purchased, he can confirm he has covered just c.11,600 miles, the odometer currently reading just c.18,900 miles. Stored from 1978, in 1986 the bodywork and paint were restored by Southern Classics and in 1987 the engine and gearbox overhauled by Peter Dodd (at c.17,500 miles). A new bonnet was also fitted around this time. In 1990 the seats were restored by Leather Renovations. Following a further period of storage, the car was recommissioned by Thomas Barclay Ltd at a cost of some £8,000 in 2015-16. Some attention to its microblistered paintwork is needed, but this low-ownership, low-mileage E-Type is well worth the effort.

1976 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce

The Series 2 Spider arrived in 1970. The rounded tail was replaced with a distinctive 'Kamm' design and a year later engine capacity was increased to 1962 cc, prompting the name to be changed to 2000 Spider Veloce. With 131bhp on tap, this was the quickest Spider yet and capable of over 120mph. From 1975 the interior was modified to include a pair of occasional rear seats. The very pretty left-hand drive Spider being sold is a 1976 example finished in Red with black leather upholstery. It was first UK registered in March 2000 and has been off the road between 2005-2015 and treated to a sundry restoration / refurbishment. This included a new hood, new carpets, new steering rack and electric fuel pump.

1980 Aston Martin V8 Volante

Lot #86 (Sale Order 86 of 137)

PLEASE NOTE: We apologise but this Lot is Withdrawn from our 15th November 2017 Auction. - 1 of 439 made - Repatriated from California in 2006 and restored by Warren Classics including conversion to European specification - BMIHT Certificate, original engine, MOT'd till May 2018 Launched at the October 1978 Birmingham Motor Show, the Fourth Series or Oscar India V8 (Oscar India being AM factory 'shorthand' for October Introduction) boasted a re-profiled 'power bulge' bonnet, subtly integrated rear lip spoiler and GKN alloy wheels. Little changed beneath its aluminium skin, the model utilised the same independent coil-sprung front suspension, De Dion rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its predecessors. Predominantly allied to three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission, the Tadek Marek designed 5340cc DOHC V8 engine was fed via quad Weber carburettors. Thus equipped, Autocar magazine found the Oscar India to be capable of 146mph and 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds. Cementing its Grand Tourer credentials, the model featured a smart burr walnut dashboard / door cappings and could be had in Fixed-Head or Convertible guises. Total carburettor-fed V8 Volante production amounted to just 439 cars. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate, this particular example was built to left-hand drive North American specification complete with Weber carburettors, automatic gearbox, cruise control and Avon tyres on 13th June 1980 and despatched a week later to Aston Martin Lagonda Inc, USA. Repatriated from California by Warren Classics during 2016, the V8 Volante has since been restored in their workshops (including conversion to European specification). Completely stripped of all components, the car was thoroughly assessed by the firm's chief mechanical engineer. The original engine (number V/580/5195/LFA) was given a cylinder leak down test and had its bores, timing chains, tensioners, idler pulleys, camshafts, tappets and valve clearances checked. A new water pump was installed and refurbishments carried out to the power steering pump, air-conditioning, starter motor and alternator. The intake manifold was soda blasted and a European specification air box fitted along with new exhaust headers and carburettor gaskets etc. The oil lines and coolers were renewed. All belts were replaced and electronic ignition installed. The brake system was overhauled with many components being gold cadmium or zinc plated and the wiring loom tested and repaired as necessary. The automatic gearbox and differential were inspected and tested. Opening panels were rehung to achieve better alignment and the bodywork rigorously prepared with any uneven areas being reprofiled with a 2-pack alloy filler. Polyester sprayed and primed, the exterior was painted in Imperial Blue while the engine bay and underside were finished in Satin Black. The brightwork was rejuvenated and the wooden fascia / door cappings re-polished. The interior was re-trimmed with Dark Blue-piped Parchment leather complimented by Dark Blue carpets and a Dark Blue Everflex roof. The instruments were checked and the alloy wheels refurbished. The following companies helped ensure that original specifications were adhered to: Nicholas Mee Ltd, Aston Martin Heritage Trust, Rikki Cann Ltd, JMB Services and Atspeed Racing. Recently exhibited at The Warren Classic and Supercar Show's Concours d'Elegance (September 2017), this decidedly smart V8 Volante is offered for sale with restoration file and MOT certificate valid until May 2018.

1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

Lot #87 (Sale Order 87 of 137)

- 1 of 863 right-hand drive Series 1 4.2 Roadsters made and warranted to have covered 49,000 miles from new - Purchased by Patrick Thornton of P & K Thornton Restorations 'Classic Jaguar Specialists' in 1986 and painstakingly refurbished before returning to the road in 2008 - 'Matching' chassis and engine numbers and original Carmen Red with Black livery - Implicated in the infamous 'one armed bandit murder' of 1967 which inspired the film 'Get Carter' - Referenced in the Mark Knopfler song '5:15am' from the album Shangri-La For many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque's new sports cars some 56 years later! Its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top of the `100 most beautiful cars of all time' and, of course, none other than Enzo Ferrari beat them to it by many years when he similarly described it as `the most beautiful car ever made'. Like the XK150 before it, it was born of Jaguar's competition successes on the race tracks of Europe. Make no mistake, this was no ordinary motorcar - it was a true thoroughbred. Allied to a monocoque passenger cell, the model's tubular front sub-frame cradled a 3781cc DOHC straight-six engine, independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering, while its back axle played host to a sophisticated coil-sprung set-up complete with inboard disc brakes. From birth, the E-Type was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. Among the very fastest cars of its generation, contemporary road tests found the newcomer to be capable of 0-60mph in circa 7 seconds and 150mph. Despite this, engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, plus more comfortable seats. A mere 863 right-hand drive E-Type Series 1 4.2 Roadsters were made prior to the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars in September 1967. According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E1482 - was manufactured on 11th February 1966. Finished in Carmen Red with Black leather upholstery, it was road registered as `LGT 788D' and supplied new via Linmac Ltd to Kemal Kansaran of Ilford, Essex. However, the Roadster's actual first owner is understood to have been Mr Kansaran's business associate Vince Landa. Continuing the distancing trend, the E-Type was booked in for its first service at 1,016 miles with Hackney Road Motor Services by Rensa Models Ltd of Long Street, London on April 1st 1966. A former boxer, Mr Landa fell foul of the infamous Kray Twins when they accused him of installing slot machines in some of their clubs. Relocating to the North East as a result, he set-up Social Club Services - a fruit machine business valued at £8m in 1966 - and became the owner of The Piccadilly and Birdcage nightclubs in Newcastle which played host to the likes of Tom Jones and Roy Orbison. Although, his main residence was Dryderdale Hall, Bishop Auckland, he also had a property in Spain and maintained links to London and the South-East. Embroiled in the so-called `one armed bandit murder' which saw Social Club Services' employee Angus Sibbert shot dead on January 4th 1967, `LGT 788D' was supposedly being driven that night by Michael Luvaglio (Landa's brother) and Dennis Stafford who were subsequently convicted of the crime. Messers Luvaglio and Stafford have long protested their innocence and the whole affair is referenced in Mark Knopfler's song 5:15am as well as being cited as an inspiration for the film `Get Carter' (which just so happens to feature Dryderdale Hall as the villain's lair)... PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by the author of the 'E-Type Jags and Flashy Suits' article, Mr Michael Cassidy, to say his subsequent research has shown that (a) Vince Landa's nightclub portfolio did not include the Birdcage and (b) Harry Sibley of the Pear Tree Garage was 'a regular in the company that Landa kept'.

1926 Sunbeam 20.9 Coachbuilt Saloon

Lot #88 (Sale Order 88 of 137)

- Timewarp car that belonged to its first owner, Malcolm Rollo Esq., from 1926 - 1964 and has had just four keepers since - Engine overhauled during the 1990s with assistance from marque specialist Bill Barrott and wings refurbished that same decade - Interior little changed since the car left the factory - Said to 'run lovely on the road with lively performance combined with a decent four wheel braking system' The 1920s witnessed Sunbeam win the French and Spanish Grand Prixs, finish second at Le Mans, set numerous Land Speed Records and cause Henry Royce consternation regarding the quality and refinement of its products. Introduced in 1926, the 20.9hp was powered by a 2916cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Reputedly capable of over 70mph (coachwork permitting), the newcomer shared numerous drivetrain components with its glamorous 3-Litre Super Sports sibling. Available in Tourer, Fixed Head Coupe, Folding Head Coupe, Coachbuilt Saloon, Weymann Saloon and Rally Weymann Saloon guises, some 2,560 20.9hp cars are thought to have been made before the model was revised for 1931. Though, today survivors are comparatively few and far between. Contemporary Sunbeam brochures reveal that the 20.9hp Coachbuilt Saloon was priced at a hefty £895 and could be ordered in Claret, Dark Smoke Blue or Dark Blue' over Black and with cloth or best quality English leather of suitable colour to match the paintwork'. According to its accompanying paperwork, this handsome 20.9hp Coachbuilt Saloon has had just five owners from new (the first of whom, Malcolm Rollo Esq. of Rochford House, Tenbury kept it until 1964). Treated to a degree of restoration work during the 1990s including an engine overhaul and refurbished wings, the Sunbeam is described by the vendor as being in good' (paintwork, electrical equipment) or very good' (engine, gearbox, bodywork, interior trim) condition. He goes on to say: This car is a genuine timewarp. It runs lovely on the road with lively performance and a decent four-wheel braking system. The interior is virtually as it left the factory. Recent new tyres. We are only parting with her due to downsizing our collection. She comes with a history file including many letters, old MOTs, buff logbook, V5C Registration Document and a workshop manual'.

1954 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe

Lot #89 (Sale Order 89 of 137)

- Exported new to Venezuela and distributed to its first keeper by CAMAV of Caracas - Recently fitted with replacment steering box, brake calipers and alternator - Heritage certificate and an MOT valid to September 2018 although exempt This extremely attractive matching numbers 1954 XK was exported new to Venezuela where it was distributed to its first keeper by CAMAV of Caracas. At the time it was finished inside and out in Suede Green. At some stage it crossed into North America as it was from Washington DC that it was repatriated in 2014. The vendor purchased it from a private collection, since when the steering box, brake calipers and alternator have all received attention. These days 663 UYU' sports Ivory bodywork teamed with a Tan-coloured leather interior. It is considered to have excellent' 3.4-litre XK engine and manual transmission, very good' bodywork and interior trim, and good' paintwork. It comes complete with Heritage certificate and an MOT valid to September 17 next year. A potentially fine addition to any classic car collection. It is true to say that the phenomenal success of the XK120 was completely unexpected by Sir William Lyons and his team, whose post-war focus was the MKVII Saloon. However, as that car and its XK engine neared completion in 1948, it occurred to Lyons that a sports car powered by the stunning new DOHC unit would probably outperform almost anything else in production at the time. The extraordinary decision was therefore made to design and build an XK-powered two-seater in time for display at the Earls Court Motor Show of October 27 - an apparently impossible task in the time available. However, within a few days of the Bronze show car going on display, it was evident that a complete rethink was required - such was the euphoria with which the XK120 was greeted. In the end, production spanned five years and the car was produced in three guises - Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe; the combined production volumes of which were 12,055.

1986 Porsche 911 Turbo

Lot #90 (Sale Order 90 of 137)

- Built to special order in Meteor Metallic with Burgundy leather upholstery (complete with 'L999' paint-to-sample code) - Two owners from new (the first until 2016), fitted with numerous Special Wishes-type features - Among the nicest 930s we have encountered In the early 1970s, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged 911, in support of which they planned a homologation special along the lines of the Carrera 2.7 RS. A subsequent rule change negated the need for a precise number of street legal vehicles but the company continued with the project anyway. Unveiled at the October 1974 Paris Show, the resultant Porsche 911 Turbo (930) was routinely among the fastest - if not THE fastest - accelerating supercars that money could buy during its fifteen-year production run (1975-1989). The newcomer was based around the Carrera 3.0 RS, the engine from which was modified courtesy of turbo technology originally developed for the legendary 917/30 CAN-AM cars. Initially displacing 3.0 litres, the need to keep pace with such rivals as the Ferrari 512BB and Lamborghini Countach saw its force-fed flat-six grow to 3.3 litres in 1978. Although, the adoption of Bosch fuel injection some four years later brought no more horsepower, it did result in greater torque and better throttle response. Thus equipped, the 911 Turbo was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds and 162mph. To accommodate its extra performance over the 3.0 RS, the 930 sported revised suspension, larger brakes and a robust, four-speed gearbox. In order to help deliver power to the road, a whale tail' rear spoiler was fitted and a wider rear wheel / tyre package was squeezed under specially flared arches. Adding this level of grunt to the already oversteer-prone handling of the 911 created a car that did not suffer fools gladly. In skilled hands, however, a 930 will show a clean pair of heels to most rivals. Dropped during 1979 due to emissions legislation, the 930 returned to the US market for the 1986 model year achieving 1,424 sales. Among them was this particular example - chassis WPOJB0937GS050579 - which was built to special order as denoted by its L999 paint-to-sample' coding. Finished in Meteor Metallic with Burgundy leather upholstery, its build specification also included: Sport Steering Wheel with Elevated Hub 30mm, Blaupunkt Reno' Radio sqr 46, Locking Differential 40%, Anti-Theft Device, Sunroof'. Reportedly supplied new to Dr Dorrance Kelly, the Porsche was to remain with him until entering the current ownership last year. A renowned maxillofacial surgeon and art collector, it is thought that Dr Kelly had the 930 upgraded with various 'Sonderwunschen'-type features by Alan Johnson Racing. A four-time SCCA National Champion who held a Porsche franchise until 1990, Mr Johnson's AJ USA concern is known to have modified several 911 Turbos to Flat Nose' specification. As well as an AJ USA intercooler, chassis WPOJB0937GS050579 boasts an adjustable front strut brace, front air dam, quad exhaust pipes, sill extensions, vented rear wings and BBS alloy wheels. Not wanting for visual drama, the Porsche is thought to have covered just 76,744 miles from new. The car has self-evidently been well maintained but unfortunately the corresponding records never made their way across the Atlantic (the only stamps in its original service book relate to the pre-delivery inspection and first oil-change). Pleasingly retaining its factory-applied door aperture, boot lid and paint code stickers, the 930 also carries one for Brown University (where Dr Kelly obtained a masters degree). Described by the vendor as easily the best of the three 930s that he has owned, he rates its engine, gearbox, electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as all being excellent'. In addition to having its sun-bleached Burgundy hides recoloured by Bespoke Leathering of Tamworth, the Porsche has been treated to new oil and filters etc plus replacement handbrake shoes. Judged runner-up for the Weston-super-Mare Motor Club's Clifford Holder Trophy earlier this year, it is among the smartest 911 Turbos we have encountered.

1974 Land Rover 88 Series III

Lot #94 (Sale Order 94 of 137)

- Original truck cab, Cream with Black interior trim, 2.2 petrol - Galvanised chassis replaced in previous restoration - Overdrive and free-wheel hubs That the recently discontinued Defender is immediately recognisable as a direct descendent of the Land Rover launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show, is huge testimony to Maurice Wilks' original design. The Landie' was designed for light agricultural use and to create the cashflow required to kickstart Rover's post-WW2 passenger car production. Inspired by the WW2 Jeep, its specification was influenced by the austere conditions of the time - it featured the extensive use of aluminium rather than steel and rapidly became the workhorse of the world. This Series 3 Truck Cab Land Rover was manufactured in 1974 and treated to a new galvanised chassis some years ago whilst also benefiting from being equipped with overdrive and free-wheeling hubs. The 2.2 petrol engine is understood to be original to the vehicle. Finished in Cream with Black interior, it is accompanied by a Heritage Certificate, invoices for recent works and photographs.

The vendor informs us the car was supplied new by Oldbury Cars, has remained totally standard, and is apparently the third of just four 1997 UK-market examples to be finished in the pleasing combination of Midnight Blue Metallic bodywork teamed with Charcoal-coloured leather upholstery. The many factory-fitted options include: auxiliary driving lamps, Blue cloth soft top; interior stowage kit; Cobra alarm; passenger footrest; boot kit; and radio fitting kit (though a radio has not been installed). 'P313 ADG' has apparently only recently been serviced, during which the fluids were all renewed along with the cam belt, and it's presently considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine, and five-speed manual transmission. He is offering the car complete with Lotus Certificate of Provenance and an MOT valid to September 13th 2018. An unusually tempting example of one of the more recent band of British classics. The Julian Thomson-penned Series 1 version of the Elise entered production in September 1996. Thanks to its deliberately low kerb weight, it was able to accelerate from 0-60mph in a supercar humbling 5.8 seconds, despite the relatively modest power output of 118bhp from its Rover K-Series engine. A markedly low centre of gravity ensured the road-holding of this mid-engined two-seater was equally impressive. The car's contemporary construction comprised a hand-finished fibreglass body mounted to a bonded extruded aluminium chassis. The Elise name was inspired by Elisa, the granddaughter of Romano Artioli, who was the chairman of both Lotus and Bugatti at the time of the little Lotus' launch.

1963 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupe

Lot #99 (Sale Order 99 of 137)

- 1 of 1,799 made and supplied new to Ivor Arbiter who designed the 'drop - T' logo for The Beatles - Off the road from 1969 to 2017 and thus believed to have covered just 45,000 miles from new - Matching numbers and exquisitely restored to concours award winning standard by Warren Classics One of the great motoring icons of the last century, Jaguars E-type is a car that has always inspired loyalty and devotion. Born out of the fabulous D-type racer, the newcomer soon acquired a strong competition heritage of its own (as witnessed by Briggs Cunningham and Roy Salvadori claiming 4th overall at the 1962 Le Mans 24-hours). Faster and more glamorous than virtually every production rival, its 1961 Geneva Salon launch generated newspaper copy worldwide. In an age when a decent family saloon could call upon its engine for 65bhp, the E-types 3781cc, DOHC, straight-six claimed an additional 200bhp. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in under 7 seconds and 150mph, the Jaguar also possessed excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. While Ferraris lauded 250GT SWB and 250 GTO made do with live rear axles and steering boxes, the E-type utilised a sophisticated independent rear set-up with inboard disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Total right-hand drive, 3.8 litre Fixed Head Coupe production amounted to just 1,799 cars. '815 FYK' was hailed as the 'barn find of the year' when it came to auction in 2016. Headline friendly, the Jaguar had been supplied new via Broadway Autos of Cricklewood to J & I Arbiter Ltd. The owner of Drum City and Sound City, Ivor Arbiter was an important part of London's music scene during the Swinging Sixties and famously designed the 'drop - T' logo for The Beatles (for which he was paid £5!). Mr Arbiter kept the E-Type until November 1965. Thereafter, it passed to S.B. Cain, Howard H Measham and Frank Riches. Period photos show the latter racing the Fixed Head Coupe at Oulton Park, Brands Hatch and Blackbushe from late 1967 until 1969 when its clutch failed. Never returned to the road by Mr Riches, '815 FYK' spent the next forty-six years being stored in a lock-up or under a tarpaulin in his back garden. Attracted by the Jaguar's provenance, undoubted originality and low odometer reading of 44,870 miles (a highly credible figure given its lengthy period of inactivity), Warren Classics paid some £57,900 to acquire it. No stranger to the Jaguar marque, Warren Classics counts several ex-Fullbridge Restoration Company employees among its staff. Stripped to component form, the past year has seen the E-Type exquisitely refurbished to concours award winning condition. Rid of any corrosion, its bodyshell had new metal let-in as appropriate before being carefully, filled, primed and painted. The interior was re-trimmed throughout with the seats receiving new foam inserts as well as new hides. Re-wired, the Fixed Head Coupe also had its steering, suspension and brakes refurbished. Particular attention was paid to the car's panel gaps and its brightwork was rejuvenated. The original 'matching numbers' engine was comprehensively overhauled including a re-bore (0.5mm oversize), cylinder head skim, new water pump, uprated oil pump, fresh 9.1:1 pistons, polished / ported inlets and exhausts, new timing chains and replacement valves / guides / seats / springs etc. Further benefiting from a new in-tank fuel pump, rejuvenated triple SU carburettors and the addition of electronic ignition, the Jaguar has also had its gearbox and back axle overhauled. The instruments were restored and new wire wheels / tyres fitted. Resplendent in its original livery of Carmen Red with Beige leather upholstery, '815 FYK' is described by the vendor as 'surely one of the very best examples anywhere in the world'. Need we say more?

1918 Austin Twenty EXP1 Prototype Tourer

Lot #100 (Sale Order 100 of 137)

- The very car that Edgar Wren drove nationwide to drum up orders for Austin's upcoming 20hp model - Rescued from a hedgerow as a rolling chassis and treated to an extensive restoration during the 2000s - Featured in numerous publications: The Autocar (1918), The Austin Advocate (1919) and The Automobile (2009) Herbert Austin was nothing if not ambitious. By the outbreak of the First World War the company that bore his name was Britain's fifth largest motorcar manufacturer. However, the firm with which he had begun his motoring endeavours, Wolseley, was the biggest. Accepting government contracts for aircraft, shells, heavy artillery and 3-ton lorries saw the Austin Motor Company prosper during WW1 and its workforce expand from 2,500 to 22,000. Sensing an opportunity to leapfrog his rivals and taking a leaf from Henry Ford's book, Herbert Austin decided to offer just a single model when peace returned. Hugely impressed by the Hudson Super Six he ran during the hostilities - an example of which had successfully completed the first two-way transcontinental trip from New York to San Francisco and back in 1916 - he challenged his designers to create a similarly well-engineered machine. The first prototype Austin Twenty began to take shape in the chassis erecting shop at Longbridge during 1917 and an abridged specification was published in that September's issue of The Austin Advocate magazine. Like the Hudson Super Six, the newcomer featured a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rear wheel brakes, an engine of monobloc construction with in-unit, centre-change gearbox and a sheet metal radiator cowl. Displacing 3610cc, its unstressed sidevalve four-cylinder engine developed 40bhp @ 2,000rpm (an output sufficient for Austin to later warrant that the chassis could reach 70mph). Eminently tuneable, privateer Felix Scriven's Sergeant Murphy' and the Works' Black Maria' both proved that an Austin Twenty could beat a Bentley 3 Litre or Vauxhall 30/98 in competition (Scriven's mount reaching 104mph at Brooklands). Labelled P1's (with P' signifying Post War), two prototype Austin Twenties were readied for 1918, a Landaulette and a Tourer. Road registered as OB 6912', the latter sported a commodious four-door, five-seater body with a prominent hood well and internal storage for two spare wheels. With dreams of producing 25,000 cars a year (a gargantuan increase on the 3,000 that Wolseley had managed in 1914), Herbert Austin despatched Works test driver Edgar Wren on a nationwide trip aboard OB 6912' to drum-up interest. With a projected price of just £495 for the Tourer, and thanks also to the efforts of sales organiser Alfred Dupuis who travelled the Commonwealth and was reliant merely on photos and specification sheets, Austin had attracted some £6,000,000 worth of orders by July 1919. Unfortunately, the company could not fulfil them. The government tax on excess war profits meant that Herbert Austin could not afford to fully equip his expanded factories and the awful carnage of World War One had resulted in a severe shortage of skilled labour. Without the hoped-for economies of scale, Austin found itself losing money on every Twenty sold and thus had to introduce a temporary surcharge' of £100 per car in October 1919. Things went from bad to worse with the global economic slump of 1920-1921 and by December that year Austin was in receivership. The company famously bounced back with the Twelve and Seven models and the Twenty remained in production until December 1929 by which time some 15,287 had been made. Famously long-lived, it was not unheard of for a Twenty to cover in excess of 1,000,000 miles. Indeed, the motoring historian and long-term Twenty owner Mike Worthington-Williams has suggested that the model is the hardest wearing machine of all time'. Presumed lost for many years, OB 6912' was re-registered with the DVLA on August 2nd 1983. A rolling chassis when found, it was treated to an extensive ground up' restoration during the 2000s with replacement parts being sourced or made as necessary. Using period photos as a guide the car's Tourer coachwork was painstakingly recreated and fitted with such niceties as an Auster screen, fold-out occasional seats and deep-button Black leather upholstery. There can be comparatively few cars that have been featured in magazine articles ninety-one years apart but as well as gracing the pages of The Autocar in November 1918 and The Austin Advocate in July 1919, OB 6912' was the subject of a four-page article in The Automobile for August 2009. Described by the vendor as being in excellent overall' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, he succinctly sums-up OB 6912' as a true piece of British motoring history'.

1936 Bentley 4.25 Litre Vanvooren Pillarless Sports Saloon

Lot #101 (Sale Order 101 of 137)

- Supplied new to Jean Paul Boucheron of the jewellery dynasty and retained by his family until 2001 when it entered the current ownership - Very rare and elegant Vanvooren pillarless sports saloon coachwork - Built to RHD specification but for use 'in France and on the Continent' hence high ratio back axle, ski rack, 'Projecteur' centre spotlight, lightweight seats and Marchal headlights etc - Partial refurbishment during the current ownership (cylinder head overhauled, doors re-hung, bodywork repainted, upholstery re-trimmed etc) Unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races, the Derby Bentley was underpinned by a 'double dropped' chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a more potent version of its Rolls-Royce 20/25 sibling's 3669cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was soon christened the 'Silent Sportscar'. Responding to increased competition from the likes of Alvis and Lagonda, Bentley gave its customers the option of a larger 4257cc engine during the 1936 season. Priced at £50, a comparatively modest sum compared to the cost of a basic chassis, the new unit proved so popular that the smaller capacity powerplant was soon dropped. Nicely balanced to begin with, the Derby Bentley chassis proved more than capable of handling the extra power and torque. Of the 1,241 4.25-litre variants produced, just 46 were clothed by the Parisian coachbuilder Vanvooren. Highly influential during the 1930s (its patents were employed by over forty European rivals), Vanvooren looked set to become Bentley's preferred body supplier for the soon to be introduced 'Corniche' version of the MKV model until WW2 intervened. According to its accompanying copy build card records, this particular example - chassis B244GA - was intended for use in 'France and the Continent'. Ordered by Franco Britannic Automobiles Ltd on behalf of Monsieur Jean Paul Boucheron of 81 Avenue Malakoff, Paris, it was loaded aboard the SS Silver Thorn bound for Boulogne on 15th May 1936. Part of the Boucheron jewellery dynasty which had crafted pieces for countless heads of state the world over (the Greville Tiara remains a favourite of the British Royal Family), Jean Paul possessed an understandable eye for detail. As well as having Vanvooren fashion notably handsome pillarless four-door sports coachwork for the Bentley, he specified a fuel gauge in litres, speedometer in kilometres, taller 11x43 rear axle ratio for improved high-speed cruising (which FBA Ltd took from chassis B154GA), special damper settings (120lb front / 100lb rear initial load at minimum position), twin side wheel carriers and jewel-like Marchal lights. Given the Paris registration number '740 X 75', the 4.25 litre saw enthusiastic use in Monsieur Boucheron's hands. Treated to a rear axle overhaul during September / October 1938 including new gears and half-shafts, the Pillarless Sports Saloon also gained dual Lucas Mellotone horns in January 1940 (just months before the invasion of France). The horns were augmented by a centre-mounted spotlight complete with 'Projecteur' switch on the leather covered dashboard, while other unusual features included a rear-mounted ski rack and lightweight front seats. Relocating to England, the Bentley passed to one of Monsieur Boucheron's relations, Dr Louis Hamilton, and remained in his care until 2001. Entering the current ownership when Tennants auctioned off the entire contents of Dr Hamilton's magnificent home 'Southerly', the 4.25 Litre had lain dormant for decades. Found to be surprisingly sound and got going with a jury-rigged fuel supply and fresh battery etc, the pillarless sports saloon was nonetheless treated to a partial refurbishment. As well as a 'wings off / doors off' respray, re-upholstered seats and new headlining / carpets, the Bentley benefited from a cylinder head overhaul and fresh exhaust system etc. Pleasingly retaining its original factory-fitted engine (number P9BS) and distinctive Vanvooren coachwork, the four-seater has only recently been granted the UK registration number 'YWG 928'. Never fully restored, it has been sparingly used over the past sixteen years and is still running on an oil-filled coil! Only being offered for sale due to the vendor's poor health, the 'Boucheron Bentley' is now seeking a third family to own it and perhaps make it the jewel in the crown of their collection.

1969 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser

Lot #102 (Sale Order 102 of 137)

- Early example subject to comprehensive professional restoration in 2015/2016 - Capri Blue with grey seats - Current MoT with no advisories to 21 January 2018 The origins of the long-running Land Cruiser series of 4x4s date back to 1941, when the Japanese authorities ordered Toyota to reverse engineer the Jeep. The first Land Cruiser was launched 10 years later. The name has become a byword for rugged dependability in parts of the world where even the ubiquitous Land Rover has been known to struggle. The now classic FJ40 model was in production from 1960 to 1984. This RHD example was imported from Australia in 2015 and subjected to a comprehensive professional restoration in 2015/2016. The bodywork was restored by Sussex Coachworks whilst the engine and mechanics were entrusted to Imberhorne 4x4. We are advised that all panels were removed, shot blasted and resprayed in Capri Blue whilst the brakes, clutch, electrics, pistons, bearings, shock absorbers and cooling system were all renewed and the seats reupholstered. Used sparingly since completion, a shakedown journey to the Spa Classic was enjoyed with no issues. The vendor informs us the rear bench seat is not present, the odometer is missing a digit and the temperature sensor may need replacing. Otherwise he rates the bodywork as "excellent", the paintwork, engine and interior as "very good" and transmission as "good". Offered with current MoT with no advisories to 21 January 2018.

Debuting in 1985, the evolutionary Turbo R variant provided an altogether more focused driving experience. Benefiting from an uprated torque converter, stiffer anti-roll bars and firmer damping, its handling drew considerable praise from the contemporary motoring press.

Lot #104 (Sale Order 104 of 137)

- A rare Dealer Team Vauxhall (DTV) version - Completely refurbished in 1999 and has covered a mere 3000 miles since - Subject to a fresh service, new clutch and offered with receipts and old MOTs The Panther Westwinds Lima was a fun two-seat Roadster based on Vauxhall Magnum mechanicals. The sale car is one of the rare Dealer Team Vauxhall (DTV) versions, whose 2.3-litre engine therefore benefits from a big-valve cylinder head fed by a pair of twin-choke Dellorto carburettors, high lift camshaft and four-branch exhaust manifold.

The major components were overhauled and balanced and the unit treated to a new hybrid turbocharger, resulting in a higher boost and lack of lag - this raised output from 250 to 318bhp. The attention to detail and its desirable modifications make this a special example of a sought-after model and is offered with a large collection of invoices, old MOT certificates, original handbook and service book.

1934 Lagonda Rapier Tourer

Lot #106 (Sale Order 106 of 137)

- 1 of just 470 made - Well maintained and improved over the last 30 years - An ideal entry to the world of prewar motoring and said to be in beautiful condition Introduced at the 1933 Olympia Motor Show, the Lagonda Rapier featured a notably advanced 1104cc DOHC four-cylinder engine that developed 50bhp @ 5,400rpm. Prohibitively expensive to manufacture, the model was dropped when Lagonda went into administration during 1935. Revived by the aptly-named Rapier Cars Ltd of Hammersmith, the new concern contributed a further 46 cars to the total production tally of 470 before folding in 1938. First registered in Belfast on 31st December 1934 (or so its 'CZ 7070' number plate would imply), this particular example - chassis D11284 - is known to have belonged to Terence Riggs Esq. of Havant some forty years later. Subsequently owned by well-known Lagonda Rapier Register member Mr Harold Fox of Buckinghamshire (1990-2002) and Mr Alan Croft of Surrey, the Tourer has more recently formed part of the Donington Park Collection. Reportedly treated to an engine and gearbox overhaul by acknowledged marque specialist I&J MacDonald during 1994-1995 and a bare metal respray by Metcalfe & Rosedale of Bedfordshire in 2000, the latter is understood to have involved five coats of primer and five of topcoat, prior to which parts of the ash body frame had been replaced and new front wings and running boards fabricated. At the same time the interior was re-trimmed in Connolly hide and Wilton carpeting, and some re-chroming carried out. Other components refurbished include the starter motor, dynamo, carburettors and magneto (the latter most recently in 2013) while the wiring has been replaced and an original Brooklands-style steering wheel fitted. Weather equipment consists of a double duck hood and full tonneau. Described by the vendor as being in 'beautiful condition', he goes on to say that 'this easy to handle vehicle is an ideal entry to prewar motoring'. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, period brochure, instruction book and large history file containing numerous invoices.

1936 Ford Model 62 Saloon

Lot #107 (Sale Order 107 of 137)

PLEASE NOTE: We apologise but this Lot is Withdrawn from our 15th November 2017 Auction. This charming British-built Ford was first owned by an Irish Lieutenant named Robert Edward McDonnell, who was killed in North Africa in 1941 while serving in the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars. It appears the car was then adopted by the army, as by the time it was returned to McDonnell's mother in 1953, its colour had been changed from Black to Khaki. She ran it for a number of years before it entered a period of long-term storage as part of a private Ford collection. 'SH 5233' was then acquired by the vendor and treated to a comprehensive restoration, during which the flat-head V8 engine was overhauled, the body refurbished and returned to its original colour, the entire interior renewed, the car rewired and the brightwork either replaced or rechromed. The vendor understandably now grades the bodywork, paintwork, Red interior trim, engine and three-speed manual transmission as all being in 'very good' order.

1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth

Lot #108 (Sale Order 108 of 137)

- First registered to Ford's competition department & 23,100 miles from new - Presented in the livery of the Texaco Eggenberger car raced in 1987 by Klaus Ludwig and Klaus Niedwiedz - Current ownership since 2007 and build number 007 - Offered with a collection of old MOT certificates, sundry paper work, original service book plus sales brochure This very interesting fast Ford, build number 007, is one of just 500 righthand drive RS500 homologation specials created for the company by Aston Martin Tickford, with the aim of making the already highly competitive Sierra Cosworth 'unbeatable on the race tracks'. Probably a press car that was first registered to Ford's competition department in Cologne, before becoming the property of a Formula One manager and then part of an important collection of Ford vehicles after its arrival in the UK in 2007 when purchased by the current vendor. It is presented in the livery of the Texaco Eggenberger car raced in 1987 by Klaus Ludwig and Klaus Niedwiedz, with which they clinched the Entrant's division of the World Touring Car Championship for Ford, and would also have won the Driver's section too, had the RS500 not been disqualified from the James Hardie 1000 round in Australia for 'wheel arch panel irregularities'. 'E163 KHK' is understood to have covered only 23,100 miles from new and is offered with a collection of old MOT certificates, sundry German paper work, original service book plus sales brochure and it's understood the RS500 will possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale. The vendor classes its bodywork, Black paintwork, Grey interior trim, 2-0 litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' condition. A rare opportunity. Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i in 1983, followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, and the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, which was conceived to gain homologation for Group A touring car racing, and out of which grew the all-conquering RS500 Cosworth. The intention was to finish all RS500s in Black but, while most were, 56 ended up White and 52 were painted Moonstone Blue. The key differences between the standard product and the RS500 were: thicker walled cylinder block: larger Garrett turbocharger and intercooler; uprated fuel pump; uprated oil and cooling systems and secondary rear spoiler. The engine upgrades increased the output from 204bhp to 222bhp and the RS500 ultimately won 15 national series, including the 1990 British Touring Car Championship. PLEASE NOTE: We understand this Vehicle has not been presented for an MOT due to a braking system issue, which the Vendor believes may be linked to the ABS pump. A spare pump accompanies the Lot.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

Lot #109 (Sale Order 109 of 137)

- Warranted 13,000 miles from new in the hands of three American owners - Power steering, four-speed manual transmission, Black leather upholstery - Checked over by ADR Engineering of Wokingham since being imported to the UK Introduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar's immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. Less noticeable was its enlarged front air intake which in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the newcomer better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp/283lbft, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Rarer than its open two-seater and 2+2-seater siblings, just 3,786 left-hand drive fixed-head two-seaters were made. Finished in Opalescent Dark Blue with Black leather upholstery, this particular example - chassis P1R27815 - was supplied new to Jim Cox of Colorado Springs. Fitted with power steering and four-speed manual transmission, the Jaguar had covered just 881 miles by the time he sold it to F&R Import Ltd of Engleton, Colorado as an accompanying written affidavit from a Notary Public dated 2nd January 1987 confirms. Acquired by local enthusiast Karl Morgan thereafter, the E-Type returned to F&R for various works including a thorough engine overhaul with bills on file totalling some $14,600. Routinely serviced over the next twenty years (the mileage being stated as 10,925 on an invoice dated April 1995), the two-seater also benefited from the installation of a new wiring loom and general electrical refurbishment by Vintage Jag Works of Blackfoot in 2010 ($4,557). At some point ownership transferred to Karl's son David, of Idaho Springs, from whom the UK importer bought the car last year with a written affidavit certifying that its odometer reading of 12,990 miles was correct. Since arriving in the UK, the Jaguar has been checked over and treated to a full service, fresh battery, new front brake discs and rubber mountings, seals, bushes and hoses by ADR Engineering of Wokingham. Said to be in very fine condition throughout', this highly original, matching numbers', low mileage E-Type is worthy of close inspection.

1996 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

Lot #110 (Sale Order 110 of 137)

- 1 of 129 UK-supplied cars fitted with the more powerful Varioram engine and six-speed manual transmission - Warranted 35,000 miles from new and with its previous keeper for thirteen years - Said to 'drive superbly as you would expect from such a nice, clean, low mileage example' 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 featured a monocoque bodyshell that was some twenty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing 964 series plus more planted multi-link rear suspension. Further benefiting from power-assisted rack and pinion steering and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, the 993 was powered by a reworked 3.6 litre flat-six engine allied to six-speed manual or semi-automatic Tiptronic transmission. With some 272bhp and 243lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and 167mph. Debuting in March 1994, the Cabriolet version boasted a specially reinforced windscreen and snug electrically-operated canvas hood. Updated alongside its coupe and targa siblings, the soft-top gained the improved Varioram powerplant for the 1996-model year (August 1995 onwards). Developing an extra 13bhp and 8lbft of torque thanks to its improved volumetric efficiency, the revised unit gave a small but welcome boost to performance. For many the last 'true' 911, the 993 made way for the water-cooled 996 in 1998.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GEL

Lot #111 (Sale Order 111 of 137)

- Finished in Deep Red - Just 2 previous keepers - Offered with a collection of old MOT certificates Development of the G-Wagen - short for Gelandewagen or 'Cross Country Vehicle' - began during the early 1970s at the suggestion of the Shah of Iran (then a major Mercedes-Benz shareholder). Exhaustively tested amidst the German coalfields, Sahara Desert and Artic Circle, the first workable prototype emerged during 1974. Entering production five years later, the G-Wagen began its metamorphosis from functional off-roader to luxury SUV in 1981 when niceties such as air-conditioning and automatic transmission joined the options list. Available in short- and long-wheelbase guises, Mercedes-Benz's evergreen 4x4 was thoroughly revised for 1990. Rechristened the 463 G-Class, it gained a trio of electric locking differentials, full-time 4WD, ABS brakes and an upgraded interior complete with wooden accents. The sale G-Class is a long wheel base example which is finished in Deep Red. It boasts only having 2 previous keepers and is offered with a collection of old MOT certificates plus its understood to have a fresh MOT by the time of sale.

1962 Hotchkiss M201 Jeep

Lot #112 (Sale Order 112 of 137)

- Built in France under licence in 1962 - Believed low mileage example in "good condition" - 24 volt, new carburettor, original shovel, axe and hood Known in France as 'La Jeep', the Hotchkiss M201 was the standard light transport used by the French army from the end of WW2 up until the 1980s. Initially built under licence as MBs, they were known as M201s from 1956 and remained virtually unchanged throughout production - a fitting testament to the efficiency of the original design. This LHD example was a licence built jeep produced in 1962 which was UK registered in 1998. Said to be in good running order, the vendor surmises from the condition of the chassis and transmission that it has covered relatively few miles in its lifetime. Fitted with 24 volt electrics, a new carburettor has been fitted although the original unit is included. Powered by a 2.2-litre petrol engine, it is accompanied by an original shovel, axe and hood. Said to have "excellent" bodywork, engine and electrics with "very good" paintwork, gearbox and interior, several old MoT certificates are included in the history file and the owner informs us it will have a new MoT in time for the sale.

1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Camper Van

Lot #113 (Sale Order 113 of 137)

- Restored c.2013/14 by Auto Impressions including new floors and outriggers - Retrimmed interior in leather, rock n roll bed, engine overhauled - Green / White with Green leather, RHD 'Barry' has been in its current ownership for seven years, during which this now exceedingly smart camper has been treated to a comprehensive restoration by Auto Impressions of Reading. Most of the Volkwagen's internal and external panels have been renewed, including the floor and cross-members, and all the running gear has been either replaced or refurbished; as has the car's original 1500cc engine. Once finished, the exterior was repainted in the original colours of White over Green, while a new Green leather interior by Trimmania was installed complete with 'rock and roll' bed, cooker, fridge, sink and stereo. A period roof rack was also added and the suspension lowered by one inch for a superior ride. The vendor now unsurprisingly views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, flat-four engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in 'very good' order and is now offering the Vdub complete with photos of the extensive work carried out. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1975 Land Rover 88 Series III

Lot #114 (Sale Order 114 of 137)

- A matching numbers example that has covered just 50,000 miles from new - Served as a 'weekend toy' for taking to shows and events - Said to have 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and transmission. The ubiquitous land Rover steadily progressed from a single offering to a family of long and short wheelbase derivatives with an ever increasing choice of engines. The Series III of 1971-1985 is the most common, of which 440,000 were produced. Outwardly it was almost identical the IIA, but the diesel version benefited from a higher compression ratio and the gearbox from synchromesh on all ratios, while the cab featured a more modern, moulded plastic facia. The vendor informs us that this very pretty matching numbers example has covered just 50,000 miles from new. It is immaculately presented in White over Blue and powered by the standard specification 2.25-litre diesel engine of the period. In recent years it has served as a 'weekend toy' for taking to shows etc. Registered as an historic vehicle, it is currently regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, Black interior trim, engine and transmission.

1958 Jaguar XK150 S 3.4 Litre Roadster

Lot #115 (Sale Order 115 of 137)

- The 7th righthand drive Roadster to be made and 48,300 recorded miles - Offered with a collection of old MOTs, invoices, dialogue of the restoration and Heritage certificate. - Extensive restoration in the 1990s by Goldsmith & Young of Warminster - Long term previous ownership, unleaded conversion and Coopercraft front brakes By the time the XK150 was launched in May 1957, Jaguar had won Le Mans four times and was about to do so once again - what a backdrop against which to market a new sports car. Though the newcomer was a logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK models a distinctly more modern air. The standard engine was the 3.4-litre DOHC straight six unit of the XK140, but most early 150s were fitted with the optional SE version that sported a cylinder head with larger exhaust valves and a pair of 1.75in SU carburettors. Still more power was available from 1958 in the form of the 'S' engine and its straight-port head linked to three SUs, for which 250bhp was claimed. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type some 4,445 Fixed Head Coupes, 2,672 Drop Head Coupes and 2,265 Open Two Seaters had been produced. This exquisite 150 is possibly the first S version to be constructed and is certainly understood to be only the 7th righthand drive Roadster to leave the factory on the 4th December 1958 to Henlys of London. The first owner was a MR JHL Copper and its then understood to have been acquired by its long term previous keeper a Mr Murdoch Laing - initially of London but later Ross-shire, Scotland. 'VYR 764' was apparently treated to an extensive restoration of engine, bodywork and interior in the 1990s but, unhappy about the way it was progressing, Mr Laing had the task completed by Goldsmith & Young of Warminster. At some stage in the past the block has been replaced with a larger 3.8-litre unit, although it still retains the original triple carb head (no. VS1634-9) which has been modified to run on unleaded fuel and has been fitted with Coopercraft brakes. The vendor acquired the Jaguar in 2011, and presently considers the bodywork, paintwork, Tan leather interior, straight-six engine and four-speed manual transmission to all be in 'very good' condition. This rare and highly desirable XK is currently displaying (an unwarranted) 48,300 miles and is now being sold complete with collection of old MOTs and invoices, dialogue of the restoration and Heritage certificate.

1921 Wolseley Ten '200-Mile' Race Evocation

Lot #116 (Sale Order 116 of 137)

- Built by enthusiast Colin Thomas during the early 1980s as a faithful copy of Capt. Miller's Works Brooklands racer - Exquisite polished aluminium bodywork reproduced using period photographs by master craftsman Phil Kneller - Featured in the Vintage Sports Car Club's Bulletin and Motor Sport magazines - Offered for sale at a fraction of what it would cost to recreate today Britain's biggest motorcar manufacturer at the outbreak of World War One, Wolseley built Hispano-Suiza aero engines under licence during the hostilities before developing its own designs. Part of the Vickers Group, it did not want for funds and was able to unveil three new models of 10hp, 15hp and 20hp at the Olympia Motor Show during November 1919 (though, production proper did not begin for over a year). Benefiting from Wolseley's aero engine expertise, the 10hp featured a sophisticated 1260cc four-cylinder OHC engine and three-speed transaxle. Beautifully made, the newcomer was - at £545 - also considerably more expensive than many of its rivals. Keen to boost sales, Wolseley's managing director Arthur McCormack tasked Captain A.G. Miller with establishing a competition department in 1921 (Miller had enjoyed notably success the previous year with two 1914 Opel Grand Prix cars). Bodied as a single-seater in polished aluminium, Miller's first Wolseley Ten racer rose to prominence in late 1921 when it set ten new (1.5-litre class) speed records at Brooklands including averaging 81.79mph for 500 miles! Christened Moth', the record breaker was said to be comparatively standard mechanically apart from a high-lift camshaft, alloy pistons and larger carburettor etc. Suitably encouraged, Miller ordered a two-seater version to be built for the Junior Car Club's highly prestigious annual 200-Mile Race at Brooklands. Finishing 8th-in-class at an average of 66.2mph in 1922, the two-seater performed even better the following year finishing 10th overall at an average of 76.25mph. Contesting other events aside from the one it had been constructed for, the 200-Mile' car came 3rd in the 1922 Armistice Meeting and 2nd in the 1923 BARC August Meeting. The success of Moth' and the 200-Mile' car even convinced future Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato to commission and campaign Moth II'. Sadly, the link between Miller and Wolseley was severed when McCormack resigned at the end of 1923. Thereafter, the Miller Wolseleys faded into obscurity with none surviving to the present day. Inspired by enthusiast John End's recreation of Moth', Colin Thomas set about making a faithful copy of the 200-Mile' car in the early 1980s. Using an original 1921 Wolselely Ten rolling chassis as the basis and ably assisted by John End, he tasked master craftsman Phil Kneller with reproducing the two-seater's exquisite polished aluminium bodywork from period photographs. Non-standard parts were faithfully manufactured from drawings such as the high-lift camshaft, three-inch diameter outside exhaust pipe, extended oil filler neck to facilitate quick pitstops and bespoke outside handbrake etc. Debuting at the VSCC's Prescott Meeting in August 1984, Thomas's 200-Mile' Evocation appeared in the Club's Bulletin publication several times and, along with End's recreated Moth', was the subject of an article by Bill Boddy in Motor Sport magazine. Acquired by Stephen Battye for his impressive Yorkshire Car Museum during 2003, the Wolseley was carefully stripped and reassembled after a period of dry storage. The engine and transaxle were overhauled (with the former receiving a new correct-specification carburettor). The steering and braking systems were inspected and a new bulkhead and dashboard fabricated. As well as appropriate Wolseley instrumentation, the cockpit received new Black leather upholstery. The leaf springs were rebound in glace cord and Wolseley 1' sign-written on the radiator cowl and nearside tail to better mimic Miller's original. Kept in carpeted surroundings for the last few years, the 200-Mile' Evocation is wonderfully detailed and certainly rewards close inspection. Formerly used for sprints / hillclimbs, the Wolseley is offered for sale with a VSCC Buff Form (expired), V5C Registration Document and history file. Needless to say, this jewel-like Vintage racer would cost considerably more than its guide price to restore today! PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo

Lot #117 (Sale Order 117 of 137)

- The subject of much restoration / recommissioning during 2016 - Original grey cloth upholstery, subtly modified / upgraded 1.6 litre turbocharged engine - MOT'd till April 2018 Developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering Department, the Escort RS Turbo broke cover in October 1984. Far more than a souped-up XR3i, the newcomer featured heavy-duty suspension, improved brakes and a viscous-coupling limited slip differential (the latter a road car first). A production run of 5,000 was planned to homologate the model for Group A competition but demand was such that 8,604 were made (with 5,576 being UK supplied). Only available in Diamond White - except for Lady Diana Spencer's unique Black example - the three-door sported a comprehensive body kit and was powered by a turbocharged 1597cc CVH four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. With some 132bhp and 133lbft of torque on tap, the Fast Ford was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and 128mph. Described by Motor Sport magazine as "perhaps the most enjoyable hot hatch currently available on the British market", the Escort RS Turbo attracted a cult following that has gone from strength to strength over the last thirty-three years. Finished in Diamond White with Grey cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in 'average / good' (interior trim), 'very good' (paintwork, electrical equipment) or 'excellent' (engine, gearbox, bodywork) condition. Reportedly the subject of an extensive restoration that was completed last year, C500 FKH' is further understood to have been featured in a recent Microsoft computer game. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until April 2018. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1960 Porsche Junior 108

Lot #118 (Sale Order 118 of 137)

- The smallest and arguably most attractive of Porsche's four tractor ranges - Manufactured in the old Zeppelin factory of Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany - Restored circa four years ago and the perfect partner to any Porschephile's car collection Even the little green men of Mars are probably aware of Porsche's ubiquitous 911 - the car its makers tried to kill off in the '70s yet is still alive and well 53 years on from its launch. However, not everybody will know that long before the 911 was a twinkle in Ferdinand Porsche's eye, he not only designed the 'People's Car' (the Volkswagen Beetle) but the People's Tractor (the Volk-Schlepper). However, with the intervention and politics of WWII it wasn't until 1956 that the famous name was to first appear on a production version of such a vehicle, and manufacture was only maintained until 1963, by which time Porsche had other priorities. Under the circumstances, the company's tractors are understandably rare and highly prized. The so-called Junior was the smallest and arguably most attractive of the four different models offered, all of which were manufactured in the old Zeppelin factory of Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany, and featured an innovative fluid coupling that connected the engine to a six-speed transmission. All four models were diesel-powered and between them covered the needs of most potential purchasers. The choice was as follows: Junior - 15hp; Standard - 25hp; Super - 38hp; and Master - 50hp. The delightful Junior 108 tractor now offered therefore represents a most unusual opportunity to acquire an agricultural cousin of the contemporaneous 356 car. Presented in the Red livery of all Porsche tractors, it was apparently the subject of a restoration around four years ago, since when it has formed part of a private vehicle collection. It is presently regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, single-cylinder 822cc engine and transmission and will doubtless be of potential interest to anybody with a passion for classic farm machinery, and would certainly be the perfect partner to any Porschephile's car collection. In short, a rare opportunity for enthusiasts everywhere. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow MPW Two-Door Saloon

Lot #119 (Sale Order 119 of 137)

- 1 of just 606 made - Professionally re-modelled to 'Bentley' specification by Royce Engineering some thirty years ago - Less than 76,000 miles from new and MOT'd till next August The Shadow's arrival in 1965 was none too soon and did much to reverse the notion that Rolls-Royce was falling behind the times. It resulted in many firsts for the company, including: unitary construction rather than separate body/chassis units, disc rather than drum brakes and independent rear suspension. Though shorter and narrower than the Silver Cloud III it replaced, the John Polwhele Blatchley-penned Shadow nevertheless possessed greater space for both luggage and passengers and certainly boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6230cc, though this was enlarged to 6750cc during 1970. Early cars employed the same GM automatic transmission as the Silver Cloud, but this was superseded by the much vaunted Turbo Hydramatic system from 1970 onwards. The car's famed 'magic carpet' ride was achieved courtesy of a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroen. Initially it featured self-levelling at both ends, but this was deleted from the front in 1969. A two-door Saloon variant with coachwork by Mulliner Park Ward was made available from 1966, just 606 examples of which were produced before the model morphed into the Corniche in 1971. On behalf of a valued client, this decidedly handsome Mulliner Park Ward two-door Saloon was converted from a Rolls-Royce into a Bentley 30 years ago, by marque specialist Royce Engineering. It is presented in its original livery of Regal Red coachwork, Beige hide upholstery and Red carpets. The vendor presently classes the V8 engine and automatic transmission as 'excellent' and the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'very good'. The indicated mileage of 75,800 is apparently confirmed by the old MOTs that accompany the car, along with the driver's instruction manual, original tools, and even the emergency window winder handle; plus a current MOT certificate valid until August 18th 2018.

1970/2002 Porsche 917K Evocation

Lot #120 (Sale Order 120 of 137)

- Based on a mid-engined 1970 914-6 donor car and both registered and taxed as a Porsche. - Fed by twin variable-boost GT2 turbochargers, its dry-sump 3.3 litre type 930 flat-six engine - Rumoured to have cost well in excess of six figures and was specially commissioned from K.D. Motor Engineers of Warrington - Fully road legal and thus capable of being driven to track days, open class hillclimb / sprint events or through a city centre. Unveiled at the March 1969 Geneva Motor Show, the Porsche 917 Sports Racer was priced at 140,000DM (a sum then equivalent to ten 911 road cars). It would go onto win Le Mans in both 1970 and 1971 (as well as having a starring role in Steve McQueen's cinematic homage to the great 24-hour race). Arguably, the most important Porsche competition car yet built, the 917 was responsible for some of the most dramatic racing ever witnessed. This unique road-going 917K Evocation is rumoured to have cost well in excess of six figures and was specially commissioned from K.D. Motor Engineers of Warrington by a previous owner. Based on a mid-engined 1970 914-6 donor car, 'ARP 496J' is both registered and taxed as a Porsche. Fed by twin variable-boost GT2 turbochargers, its dry-sump 3.3 litre type 930 flat-six engine also boasts a fully plumbed-in 'wet' nitrous-oxide injection system. Topped by dual intercoolers and a horizontal multi-blade fan, this formidable powerplant is coupled to an inverted manual 911 Turbo gearbox complete with its own oil cooler and oil pump. Intended for both (hyper) fast road and track use, 'ARP 496J' features highly modified suspension and 911 Turbo sourced disc brakes. Reportedly handmade from blueprints, its lightweight fibreglass bodywork is finished in Gulf Oil's evocative light blue and orange colours. Sparse but functional, the two-seater cabin sports high-backed seats, a centre-mounted instrument binnacle, intercom system, Camus LCD display screen (for the rear view camera feed), fire-extinguisher pull, ignition cut-out switch and starter button. A truly unique proposition, this incredible left-hand drive Porsche also reputedly boasts the signatures of Richard Chamberlain, Mark Finsburg, David Piper and Richard Attwood to its tail section not to mention the race harness from Damon Hill's F1 Championship winning Williams. The subject of fettling by Steve Webb, ARP 496J' is described by the vendor as "a seriously quick car".

1996 Porsche 911 Turbo

Lot #121 (Sale Order 121 of 137)

- 1 of 277 UK-supplied, C16 specification cars - Meticulously maintained and just 76,500 recorded miles - Body, bumpers and brakes upgraded to 'S' specification A quantifiable advance over its 964 predecessor in terms of handling, ride quality and drivetrain refinement, the 993 benefited from a 20% stiffer monocoque bodyshell and the adoption of multi-link rear suspension. The work of Englishman Tony Hatter, its restyled bodywork remained faithful to the classic 911 silhouette but incorporated a more muscular stance with flared wheelarches, flatter-set headlights and advanced underbody aerodynamics. Introduced in 1995, the 993 Turbo was notable as the first forced induction 911 to feature four-wheel drive. Equipped with twin turbochargers, dual air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine management, redesigned cylinder heads and strengthened internals, the newcomer's 3.6 litre flat-six engine developed a quoted 402bhp and 398lbft of torque. Period road testers had little difficulty in bettering Porsche's official performance figures (0-62mph in 4.5 seconds, 180mph top speed) and hailed the 993 Turbo as the fastest road legal machine to leave Zuffenhausen since the legendary 959 supercar. Visually distinguished from its lesser siblings by redesigned front / rear bumpers, widened rear wheelarches and a fixed rear wing housing the intercoolers, the model rode on special hollow spoke 18-inch alloys. Kept in check by four-wheel ventilated ABS disc brakes, the 2+2-seater offered a blend of speed, practicality and usability than no rival could match. Of the 6,676 993 Turbos made, just 277 are understood to have been UK-supplied, 'C16' specification cars. Finished in Zenith Blue Metallic with Classic Grey leather interior, this particular C16 example boasts a number of factory options including: a sunroof, top tinted windscreen, lumbar support (right seat), automatic speed control, pleated upholstery, coloured Porsche crest wheel caps, stainless steel door entry guards and rear wing side vents etc. Said to have been 'meticulously maintained throughout its life', the Porsche has also had its body, bumpers and brakes upgraded to 'Turbo S' specification. Showing a modest 76,500 miles to its odometer, the Coupe has covered less than 2,000 miles since being treated to new turbochargers. Forming part of a private collection for the past four years, this highly desirable 993 Turbo is offered for sale with book pack (including stamped service book) and MOT certificate valid until May 2018.

2001 Rover Mini Classic Cooper Sport

Lot #122 (Sale Order 122 of 137)

- Dealer registered and a showroom exhibit until recently - Warranted 1,250 miles from new - Sunroof, original book pack, extremely original and well preserved Introduced in October 1996, the so-called MK7 or MPi Mini was the last evolution of Alec Issigonis' iconic design. Boasting a front-mounted radiator, driver's airbag, taller final drive ratio, multipoint fuel injection and side impact door bars etc, it proved a fitting swansong for one of the world's favourite cars. Only in production from March to October 2000, the Mini Classic Cooper Sport could be distinguished from earlier 'Sport Pack' equipped Coopers by its Platinum (rather than OEW) roof and bonnet stripes. The model's widened wheelarches housed 13x6 alloy wheels, while inside it featured an alloy dashboard as well as alloy window winders, door pulls and door handles. A be-winged green Mini motif appeared on the steering wheel and alloy wheel centres but the choice of exterior colours was limited to Solar Red, British Racing Green, Anthracite or Tahiti Blue. Regardless of their exterior hue, all Mini Classic Cooper Sports carried Nickel Silver leather seats with Black facings. Finished in Anthracite with Nickel Silver / Black leather upholstery, this particular example has covered just 1,250 or so miles from new. First registered in Southern Ireland on 24th April 2001 with the appropriate number plate '01-W-1959', it has spent much of the past sixteen years being used as a showroom exhibit and promotional vehicle. Sporting quad auxiliary spot / foglamps and a sunroof, the diminutive Rover is in a condition commensurate with its decidedly modest mileage. A one registered keeper vehicle thus far, it is offered for sale with its original book pack. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1946 Rover 12hp Sports Saloon

Lot #123 (Sale Order 123 of 137)

- Entered from a private Irish collection - Older restoration in good overall condition - Elegant four-light, sports saloon coachwork Unveiled in 1937, the Rover P2 range comprised 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20hp models. Benefiting from a stiffer chassis and rod-operated drum brakes, the newcomers were widely praised by the contemporary press for their quality, looks and performance. Powered by a 1496cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the 12hp variant was credited with a nigh on 70mph top speed. Available in either 6-light Saloon or 4-Light Sports Saloon guises, a Tourer variant was added when production recommenced after WW2. Some 11,786 P2 12hp cars were made up until September 1939 and another 4,840 between 1946 and 1948. First registered in West Ham (or so its 'BJD 117' number plate would imply), little is otherwise known about the early history of this handsome 4-Light Sports Saloon. Belonging to David Whitehouse of Malton, North Yorkshire by August 1985, the Rover was sold to Michael Cayley Esq. of Sale, Cheshire some five years later. Mr Cayley is presumed to have carried out various restoration works before selling the 12hp to Clive Richardson Esq. of Welshpool in September 2008. As well as fitting a stainless steel exhaust, Mr Richardson paid attention to the car's steering box, brakes, shock absorbers and headlamps reflectors etc sourcing various parts from Meteor Spares Service Ltd of Nottinghamshire in the process. The Sports Saloon's last keeper prior to entering the current ownership was Jodie Green Esq. of Ely, Cambs. The most recent MOT certificate on file was issued during December 2010 since when the Rover appears to have covered some 700 miles. Presenting as an older restoration, the 12hp appears to pleasingly retain its original Brown leather upholstery and carries a supplier's plaque for Grose Ltd of Northampton to its dashboard. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and assorted invoices. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1947 Triumph 1800 Roadster

Lot #124 (Sale Order 124 of 137)

- Entered from a private Irish collection - 1 of just 2,501 made - Engine overhauled by Maidstone Sports Cars during 1990 Despite Donald Healey's best efforts to reinvent Triumph as the British equivalent of Alfa Romeo, the firm was essentially bankrupt by the time war broke out in 1939. Subsequently revitalised by Standard impresario Sir John Black, Triumph was able to launch two new models - the 1800 Saloon and 1800 Roadster - during 1946. Styled by Frank Callaby, the latter was a flamboyant mix of 1930s styling cues and boasted what was reputedly the last dickie seat to be incorporated into a production car. Bodied in 'Birmabright' aluminium alloy over ash (save for its steel pontoon front wings), the Roadster was underpinned by a tubular ladder-frame chassis featuring independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1776cc OHV four-cylinder engine (shared with the contemporary Jaguar range) allied to four-speed column-change manual transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 80mph. Superseded by a larger-engined version in 1948, just 2,501 1800 Roadsters are thought to have been made. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example - chassis TRD/1086 - was built to right-hand drive export specification complete with kilometres speedometer on 28th August 1947. An underbonnet plaque for Fergus Motors of New York suggests that the Triumph was resident in America for a while. Repatriated during the late 1980s, the Roadster had its engine overhauled by Maidstone Sports Cars during June 1990 (cylinder head refurbished, new valves / guides, fresh piston rings and big end bearings etc). Forming part of a private Irish collection for the last quarter of a century, this charming Triumph appears to be in basically good overall condition and started readily during our photography session (October 2017).

1966 Austin Gipsy Series IV Station Wagon

Lot #125 (Sale Order 125 of 137)

- Purchased new by the police force in Whitchurch, Hants but designated as a reserve vehicle and scarcely used - Remarkably original having had just three private keepers since being sold off by the police in 1996 - Believed to have covered just 4,952 miles from new! Introduced in 1958, the Austin Gipsy featured an all-steel body and fully independent suspension utilising Flexitor rubber units developed by Alex Moulton. Powered by a 2199cc OHV four-cylinder engine that drove all four wheels via an all-synchromesh, four-speed gearbox coupled to a high/low ratio transfer box, the newcomer would climb a 45-degree slope and haul a maximum payload of 0.5 tons. The Series II Gipsy of 1960 was available in short- (90in) or long-wheelbase (111in) guises and had its mountaineering credentials proven when a team of London University students used one to scale Ben Nevis (Britain's highest peak at 4,406ft). There was no Series III Gipsy, but at the end of 1962 the leaf-spring equipped Series IV appeared. Gipsy production ceased in 1969 after some 21,208 examples had been sold. A rare Series IV Station Wagon, this particular example was reportedly purchased new by the police force in Whitchurch, Hants. However, the allocation of a fleet of Ford Transits saw the Austin quickly consigned to the role of reserve vehicle and stored in a local garage. Its services were never called upon and the garage proprietor purchased it from the police during 1996. He in turn sold the Gipsy to its previous keeper some seven years later. Entering the current ownership via our October 2010 auction, the Austin had not long been treated to a new clutch master cylinder and brake overhaul (at a cost of £911.91). Described at the time as being 'immaculate and original', it remains highly presentable today. Believed but not warranted to have covered just 4,952 miles from new, the Series IV Station Wagon has formed part of a private Irish collection for the past seven years. Starting readily during our photography session (October 2017), it is accompanied by assorted spares, workshop manuals and old Whitchurch-issued tax discs etc. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is currently registered in Eire and as such does not carry the UK number plate 'KYP 637D' which was surrendered when it was exported. It should be possible to reunite the Austin with its original number plate should a new owner so wish. Although, this will be at the discretion of the DVLA.

1958 Jensen 541 Deluxe

Lot #126 (Sale Order 126 of 137)

- Bare shell restoration 2013/2014 including retrim with Maserati-sourced leather, wooden dash etc. - JOC 'Best in Class' cup holder 2015/2016, Rosso Red with Mustard leather - Laycock overdrive, disc brakes, triple SUs, one of just 53 examples built Like its contemporary Interceptor, Jensen's 541 flowed from the pen of Eric Neale, and first saw the light of day at the 1953 London Motor Show, with production commencing the following year. It had many points of interest. For example it was the first Jensen to feature a predominantly glass reinforced plastic body, the entire front section of which hinged upwards in order to give optimum access to the engine compartment. The material was chosen to overcome the relative post-war shortage of steel, and provide an economical solution to the problem of manufacturing a complex design in small numbers. There was also the benefit of a reduction in weight and, with the contribution of alloy-skinned doors and Perspex rear windows, the newcomer's overall dry weight was 2,690 lb versus the Interceptor's 3,020. Interestingly, not only was the body impressively light, but aerodynamic too - the drag coefficient of 0.39 being notably low for a large car of the period concerned. So to another first - in Deluxe specification, the 541 was also the first British four-seater car to be equipped with Dunlop disc brakes all round. The innovative body was mounted on a rigid steel chassis and the ensemble powered by a triple carburettor version of Austin's proven DS5 engine, complete with Weslake high compression cylinder head. The resulting output of 135bhp was sufficient to propel Motor magazine's test car to 60mph in 10.8 seconds and on to a mean top speed of 115.8mph. The unit drove through a four-speed manual transmission for which there was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs, while the live rear axle was supported by leaf springs and further located by a Panhard rod. A total of 226 541s are known to have been built between 1954 and 1959, 53 of which were the Deluxe version that featured all the otherwise optional extras as standard. The original 541 was supplanted by the 541R and then 541S, bringing total series production to c.546, of which the Jensen Owners' Club believes less than 150 remain in existence. The appropriately registered 'TSV 541' now offered for sale is a 541 Deluxe that came off the line in November 1958. We should set the scene by pointing out that it won the Jensen Owners' Club's Best in Class Cup in 2015/2016, so is certainly no run-of-the-mill example. It was acquired by the vendor in 2012 having been dry stored for around 20 years. At this point it was stripped to a bare shell and every component, large or small, either replaced or refurbished as required. The exterior finish of vibrant Rosso Red was left unmolested, as it remained in fine order from an earlier repaint. The car was, however, treated to a new Maserati-sourced Mustard Yellow leather interior that's complemented by a bespoke light-coloured wood facia. This delightful Jensen seemingly wants for nothing, as its comprehensive specification includes: overdrive gearbox, twin stainless steel exhausts, chrome wire wheels, auxiliary front lights, period sports wing mirrors, and a period push-button radio fed by a roof-mounted aerial. The vendor currently classes the interior trim and transmission as 'excellent', the bodywork and paintwork as 'very good to excellent', and the straight-six engine as 'very good'. 'TSV 541' has so far travelled just 3,295 miles since the restoration was completed in 2014, and this lovely example of one of the British industry's rarer classic GT cars is now being offered complete with an MOT valid into October 2018, together with certificates covering the full period of the Jensen's current ownership.

1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

Lot #127 (Sale Order 127 of 137)

- 1 of 1,584 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes made - Purchased by the vendor from Eagle E-Types as a project car and extensively restored during 2014-2015 - Original engine but sympathetically upgraded with a Tremec T5 gearbox, electronic ignition, Bluetooth 'hands free' telephone facility etc Triumphantly launched at the March 1961 Geneva Salon, Jaguar's '150mph' E-Type was the sports car that (a) put the swinging into the 'swinging sixties', (b) no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed 'the most beautiful car in the world', and (c) transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. Though not designed as a racer, the E-Type was nevertheless a direct descendent of the all-conquering D-Type and thus had motorsport embedded in its DNA. Equipped with all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes, its handling and roadholding proved more than a match for most rivals. Just one month from launch Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori drove the Equipe Endeavour E-Type ('ECD 400') to victory at Oulton Park and some fifty-six years later the model remains a force to be reckoned with in historic racing. Updated during August 1964, the Jaguar gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the Big Cat's beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,584 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes had been made. According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E20499 - was completed on 26th March 1965 and despatched to South London Motors Ltd early the following month. First owned by Derek Clark, it subsequently passed to Surrey residents R.H. Hopkins, K. Lockhart, Michael Hammond and Edward Baylis. Taken off the road during the 1970s, the E-Type was re-registered with the DVLA under its original registration number 'ELA 867C' on April 1st 1979. Changing hands three times thereafter, the Fixed Head Coupe was purchased by the vendor in October 2013 from Henry Pearman of renowned specialist Eagle E-Types. Mr Pearman had been holding the Jaguar in stock as a suitable candidate for one of his company's restorations but agreed to sell it 'as was'. Enlisting the services of craftsmen local to his Suffolk home, the vendor had chassis 1E20499 treated to an extensive 'bare metal' restoration during 2014-2015. The bodyshell was repaired as necessary and its opening panels trued for alignment before being painted Opalescent Dark Green. The interior was re-upholstered by Aldridge Trimming and the brightwork refurbished. A Tremec T5 five-speed manual gearbox was fitted for improved high-speed cruising (the original gearbox and propshaft come with the car) and the E-Type further upgraded via the installation of a heated rear window, electronic ignition, updated starter motor, Bluetooth 'hands free' telephone facility, period looking but modern stereo, improved cooling and uprated brakes. Sent to marque specialist Roach Classics Ltd for a stem to stern 'spanner check', 'ELA 867C' was found to need little by way of adjustment / improvement. Unhappy with the performance of the car's original 'matching numbers' engine the vendor has just recently had it overhauled again this time by Woodbridge Classic Cars. Still being 'run in', the straight-six started readily upon inspection and ran well during our recent photography visit (October 2017). A handsome, home market car, 'ELA 867C' has much to recommend it. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original logbook, restoration photos and MOT certificate valid until September 2018.

2004 BMW 645Ci Convertible

Lot #128 (Sale Order 128 of 137)

- From the estate of the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson - In her ownership from 2004 until 2017 - 33,000 miles, grey with red leather First registered in April 2004, this beautifully presented BMW was owned by the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson from December 2004 until she passed away in February. Costing £80,000 new, the original 'IT' girl bought the car at the peak of her celebrity and was often photographed in this convertible which was her 'pride and joy'. As its paperwork could not be found after her death, it was re-registered in her brother's name, but has not been driven since. The overall mileage is well-below-average at only c.33,000 miles. The car is now offered for sale by the family, the proceeds from which will be distributed between Tara's nieces and nephews. It is finished in Metallic Grey and trimmed in Red leather. In 2005, 'YE04 WPV' was stolen to order by a notorious gang who used a master forger to produce a logbook in a fake name to obtain a key from an unsuspecting BMW dealership in Stuttgart. It was driven away from outside her flat in Kensington and when Tara discovered it was missing she appealed for information, offering dinner at the Ivy as a reward. She was thrilled when the car was quickly recovered by the police at Birmingham airport and safely returned to her. Of the 34 high worth cars taken by the gang with a total value of £2 million Tara's treasured BMW was one of only 6 that were ever found. The family presently consider the BMW's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 4.4-litre V8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission to all be in 'excellent' condition. An attractive car with interesting history that comes complete with an MOT valid into November next year. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

Lot #129 (Sale Order 129 of 137)

- Subject of a gradual comprehensive restoration that included conversion to righthand drive - Dispalys a credible 59,705 miles and fitted with five-speed manual gearbox - Offered complete with photos of the respray and engine overhaul STN 169F' is a Series 1.5 model that was dry stored in the USA for 25 years before being repatriated in 2005. Since then it has been the subject of a gradual comprehensive restoration that's included conversion to righthand drive, a bare metal respray in British Racing Green, the installation of new Black leather interior trim (with the exception of the rear seat material), and overhaul of the 4.2-litre engine. Along the way it has acquired a stainless steel performance exhaust manifold and five-speed manual Getrag gearbox. However, due to unforeseen circumstances the Jaguar has remained unused since the completion of the work, and so is reluctantly being made available for sale. The odometer currently displays a credible (though unwarranted) 59,705 miles, and the vendor presently regards the car's bodywork, paintwork, XK engine and replacement transmission as all being in very good condition, and the interior trim as good'. The Jaguar comes complete with photos of the respray and engine overhaul. An affordable entry into the wonderful world of the E-Type. The 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe of the immortal E-Type (known as the XKE in America, where most examples were sold) was introduced in 1966. Nine inches longer and featuring a more vertical windscreen, it was equipped with a pair of small rear seats and a notably airy feel courtesy of its stretched wheelbase and raised roofline. It benefited from the same fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes as its two-seater brethren. Powered by a 4,235cc DOHC straight six engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283 lbft of torque, it was the first E-type model to list automatic transmission as an option. Only in production for some three years, a mere 5,600 are thought to have been built, just 1983 of which were examples of the Series 1.5 version.

1969 Porsche 911 T

Lot #130 (Sale Order 130 of 137)

PLEASE NOTE: We apologise but this Lot is Withdrawn from our 15th November 2017 Auction. - A highly original Californian car that has never deteriorated to the point of needing restoration - Serviced and treated to a brake overhaul and fresh tyres since being imported to the UK - Original owner's manual and service book and MOT'd till 31st October 2018 After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche's own attempts to replace the model with the 928 in the 1970s, much evolved versions of it remain in production to this day, 53 years later. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. The car featured rack and pinion steering and both torsion bar suspension and disc brakes all round. It was initially powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat six engine which was overhung at the rear and allied to a five-speed manual transmission. In 1968, the 911's wheelbase was increased by 57mm, and the rear overhang reduced by the same amount. In 1969 the engine capacity was increased to 2.2-litres. This was offered in three levels of tune, namely: T (125 bhp), E (155 bhp) and S (180 bhp). Having spent its life to date in California, 'TTU 881H' has avoided the need for restoration, and is a lovely unmolested example with just the odd stone chip of its nose and wrinkle of its door decals to confirm its supreme originality. On recently arriving in the UK, the Porsche was treated to a light refresh that included new brakes and tyres all round, plus a general mechanical service. Its White bodywork is complemented by Tan-coloured vinyl interior trim and it was equipped from new with five-speed manual transmission rather than the optional Sportomatic system. The car is considered by the vendor to 'go and stop as it should' and have 'excellent' bodywork, engine and gearbox, 'very good' interior trim and 'good' paintwork. He is selling it complete with the original owner's manual and service book, invoice for the recent maintenance, and an MOT valid into November next year.

1979 Porsche 928

Lot #133 (Sale Order 133 of 137)

- Light Blue metallic with Pasha trim - Replacement AlliSport radiator, new injectors - Fuel system and brakes overhauled Introduced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, the 928 was conceived (and priced) as the flagship of the Porsche range. A luxurious GT, it was styled in-house by American Tony Lapine as a replacement for the ageing 911. Ultimately, the newcomer failed to usurp its sibling despite becoming the only sports car ever to win the European Car of the Year title (1978). Built around a galvanised steel monocoque, the 2+2 made extensive use of aluminium for its wheels, doors, bonnet, transaxle housing, front suspension wishbones, rear suspension uprights, upper links and main cross member. Available with a choice of manual or automatic transmission the 928 was regarded as a crushingly capable Grand Tourer. This manual transmission 928 has been fitted with a replacement AlliSport radiator and new injectors whilst both the fuel system and brakes have benefited from being overhauled. The vendor informs us it has covered a genuine c.68,000 miles and that it "runs well". The car is accompanied by its handbooks, service book and assorted invoices and will have a new MoT in time for the sale. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

Lot #134 (Sale Order 134 of 137)

- Finished in Cream with Red leather interior - Registers just 52,000 miles and has had 6 previous keepers - Offered with original service book and a collection of old MOT certificates plus Tax discs Launched in 1980, the Silver Spirit relied heavily upon the underpinnings of its Shadow predecessor prompting Autocar to comment that its raison d'etre was more to do with "maintaining traditional standards rather than making a spectacular advance". Nevertheless, the Spirit was credited with handling and roadholding that were "the best yet from Rolls-Royce". Its all-round independent coil-and-wishbone suspension featured automatic, olio-pneumatic ride height control to the rear and adjustable dampers at the front. Powered by the ubiquitous 6750cc, OHV V8 engine mated to three-speed automatic transmission, it was reputedly capable of 120mph and benefited from power assistance to both its disc brakes and steering rack. Importantly, this evolutionary design remained faithful to the luxurious ambience of its predecessors using only the finest quality hides, carpets, chrome fittings and wood veneers for its matchless interior. Finished in Cream with Red leather interior, 'XEW951X' registers just 52,000 miles and has had 6 previous keepers. Understood be have recently been removed from dry storage its offered with its original service book and a collection of old MOT certificates plus Tax discs. Rolls-Royce's stately Silver Spirit model represents astonishing value in today's market. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 B 'Adenauer' Saloon

Lot #135 (Sale Order 135 of 137)

- Offered for spares or repair, LHD, Red leather upholstery - Engine and gearbox removed in the past (though, parts of the former appear to remain) - Imported from the USA some years ago, comes with an old US title and proof of UK VAT paid. Synonymous with (and nicknamed after) Konrad Adenauer - the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany - who ran no less than six during his tenure, the Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (or W186) was launched at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show. Able to accommodate up to six people, the Type 300 was available in Saloon or Cabriolet guises. A credible rival to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud / Bentley S1 pairing, the vast majority of the 6,214 Type 300 Saloons made were to left-hand drive specification. Finished in Black with Red leather upholstery, this left-hand drive example is offered for spares or repair having had its engine and gearbox removed at some stage in the past. The gearbox is missing but various parts of the engine remain including, what we guess to be, the cylinder block, cylinder head, cam cover, sump and assorted internals (such as pistons and conrods etc). The bellhousing, steering wheel, twin Solex carburettors (plus associated manifolding) and sundry items of door furniture etc are present too. Described by the vendor as having 'good' bodywork but 'poor' interior trim and paintwork, this incomplete Mercedes-Benz is being sold strictly as viewed and without documentation. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been informed that this lot comes with an old US title and proof of UK VAT being paid from when it was imported several years ago.

His response was the now legendary Mini. Featuring an ingenious transverse-mounted powertrain (with engine sat atop of the gearbox), all-round independent 'rubber cone' suspension, front-wheel drive and compact rack and pinion steering, the newcomer was a packaging masterpiece; not to mention one of the most influential automotive designs ever conceived. A fine example of a Rover Mini Cooper in British Racing Green with a white roof and black cloth upholstery 'J535 JUT' has just undergone an extensive bodywork restoration, windows out re-paint and mechanical overhaul.
