1963 Austin Healey 3000 MKII Body Shell

Lot #111 (Sale Order 11 of 84)

The "Big Healeys" have long been viewed as the ultimate British sportscars of the 1960's with the 3000 being the most desirable. Development of the line started with the 1952 Healey 100 launched at the London Motor Show. The evocative lines and superb handling of the Healey made it a sleek and successful rally car all around the world. With its 6-cylinder 2996cc engine giving plenty of torque, the cars are more than capable of long distance touring. Offered today is a 3000 MkII shell supplied with a rare side shift overdrive gearbox and part engine. The history of the car is unknown, but it'd make an ideal candidate to be built into an historic rally car or fast road car from the ground up.

Circa 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Chassis

Lot #112 (Sale Order 12 of 84)

The Rolls-Royce Phantom II was the third and last of Rolls-Royce's 40/50 hp models, replacing the New Phantom in 1929. It used an improved version of the Phantom I engine in an all-new chassis.

1964 Austin Healey 3000 Mk.III Body Shell

Lot #113 (Sale Order 13 of 84)

If you asked a child to draw a classic car, there's a high chance their interpretation would resemble something close to the Austin Healey 3000. Assembled at the BMC Abingdon Works with bodywork manufactured by Jensen Motors the Healey 3000, or "Big Healey" with its 3-litre powerplant was a highly successful car, which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday and is still raced in classic car competitions by enthusiasts today. An ideal candidate for completion to either standard road guise or potentially fast-road or competition specification, we're pleased to offer this well restored body shell of the Mk.III Big Healey which is sold with cylinder block, axle and differential. A potentially very rewarding project with numerous suppliers catering a host of parts to finish the job, all this car requires is a little imagination and plenty of elbow grease...

Post war CJ-3B Jeep

Lot #114 (Sale Order 14 of 84)

One of the most likely origins of the word ‘jeep' was from the Popeye cartoon series. Eugene the Jeep was his "jungle pet", small and able to solve impossible problems. At the time, as war raged in Europe, the earliest Jeeps formed a lasting impression on American soldiers probably helping the adoption of the term Jeep. Even more impressive was the time taken from concept to production of a design that has stood the test of time and become an unlikely motoring icon. From tenders being sent out to a production run took less than two hundred days. After the war the CJ-3B was introduced by owners, Kaiser, replacing its predecessor, the CJ-2B model. Production of this model ran from 1953 through to 1963. Offered here is a right-hand drive CJ-3B Jeep, in need of a total restoration. The vehicle is largely complete but unfortunately nothing can be traced of the history of this vehicle. Sold with taxes paid, this makes for an interesting project for the forthcoming months.

Circa 1960 MGA

Lot #115 (Sale Order 15 of 84)

The MGA was produced by the MG division of The British Motor Corporation between 1955 to 1962 and represented a radical departure in styling and construction from the, effectively pre-war, "T-type" range. Officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955, in went on to become an international success before being replaced by the MGB in May 1962. Offered here is a Mk1 MGA, chassis # GHN282439, a left-hand drive car which at some point in its life has clearly spent some time in the United States, evidenced by the old blue and yellow California plate, 'ZNC 986', peeking out from behind the dust. The car is missing its left front right wing, but aside from that is fairly complete, however, the car is in need of a total restoration. All UK taxes are paid on this vehicle, which is now ready to take on a new chapter of its life.

1931 Derby Bentley Open Top Tourer

Lot #116 (Sale Order 16 of 84)

In 1931 Bentley Motors was acquired by Rolls-Royce, and production of the cars was moved from Crewe down to Derby. The first Derby manufactured cars were launched in 1933 ensuring the survival of the brand for years to come. This circa 1931 *Matching Numbers* Open Top Tourer body has been stripped and prepped to primer. It comes with engine, gearbox, axle, suspension and hub assemblies and is in need of completion to bring it back to its former glory. *Matching engine and gear box*

Circa 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom III

Lot #117 (Sale Order 17 of 84)

The Rolls-Royce Phantom III was the final large pre-war Rolls-Royce. Introduced in 1936, it replaced the Phantom II and it was the only V12 Rolls-Royce until the 1998 introduction of the Silver Seraph. 727 V12 Phantom III chassis were constructed from 1936 to 1939, and many have survived. Although chassis production ceased in 1939 (with one final chassis being built in 1940), cars were still being bodied and delivered in 1940 and 1941. The very last car, though completed in 1941, was not delivered to its owner until 1947. Now in need of complete restoration this Phantom III does have many of it's original parts. Supplied with part engine and gearbox it has the ingredients to make a worthy restoration story.

Circa 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom III

Lot #118 (Sale Order 18 of 84)

In 1964, more than 20 years after the end of production, the villainous Auric Goldfinger (played by Gert Fröbe) drove an excellently preserved black and yellow Phantom III, knowing that its great strength would be able to hold the weight of the vast amounts of gold that he smuggled around Europe. This Phantom III rolling chassis and part body offered here will require a certain amount of gold to restore that strength.

1970 Fiat 500 Carrozzeria Vignale Gamine

Lot #119 (Sale Order 19 of 84)

The Gamine was a small two seat roadster produced by Carozzeria Vignale from 1967 to 1971 based on the Fiat 500 platform using the 2-cylinder air cooled engine from the 500 Sport. Car importer Frixos Demetriou even secured the rights to sell Vignale products in the UK. He bought 200 cars and they were even manufactured in right hand drive form. The Gamine two-seater was well received, becoming trendy with the Chelsea set - even night-club owner Peter Stringfellow had one! This beautiful little Gamine was sold new in sunny Pescara, Italy in 1970 and was used in Italy until 19th May 1971. It was then sold to a German collection and resided with them from 1971 until 2012, when it was purchased by the current owner. According to the vendor, the car has not been altered or restored since new and is in completely original condition. All of the original documents from the last owner can be found in the history file, including the bill of sale in 1971 to the German collection and old pictures. There is German documentation supplied with the car and a German equivalent of an MoT. This pretty little car has been maintained in a temperature controlled environment and used only in fine weather conditions. It has been regularly maintained and is finished in Yellow with red interior. Offered without reserve this Gamine represents a superb opportunity for any collector!

1972 Fiat Abarth 595 EsseEsse Replica

Lot #120 (Sale Order 20 of 84)

Karl Abarth, later known as Carlo Abarth, was born in Austria. He created a small manufacturing empire in Italy during the 1950s building performance exhaust systems and parts for Fiats and other European makes. Carlo adopted his Scorpio birth sign as the logo for his company. He soon evolved into a car manufacturer in his own right. Fiat most often supplied the body shells or partly completed cars, which Abarth modified. The Fiat/Abarth arrangement benefited both concerns since it resulted in the many class victories that his cars captured in competition. Mechanically, the Abarth 595 was a vastly improved car over the standard Fiat 500 with special pistons, valves, a high-lift camshaft and large downdraft Solex or Weber carburettor. The power output increased from 22bhp at 4400 rpm to 32bhp at 6000 rpm. The suspension was stiffened and lowered and the coachwork adorned with Abarth badges inside and out. These little cars were raced , rallyed, and hill climbed all over Europe and won countless saloon championships. They were also the favourite cafe racer and a fashionable alternative to the Mini Cooper. This car was sold new in Germany in 1972 and was purchased by the current owner in January 2012. The car was used regularly until 2013, when it was restored by marque specialists to an extremely high standard. The vendor has stated that the vehicle was: "restored with a lot of love to details and knowledge about this car by the italian owner." It is supplied with German paperwork and the equivalent German MoT. Maintained in a temperature controlled environment, this little 595 EsseEsse replica is presented in stunning condition and is one of the nicest examples we have seen at Silverstone Auctions. Offered without reserve, this little car offers cheeky spring motoring in a freshly restored Fiat Abarth 595!

1967 Fiat 500 Giannini TVS

Lot #121 (Sale Order 21 of 84)

This FIAT 500 incorporates various performance enhancing products made by Giannini. Founded in 1920 by the Giannini brothers - Attilio and Domenico - as a garage, the company began tuning the little FIAT 500 Topolino in the 1930s and secured 12 world speed records with one of its modified cars. In the early 1960s the original company closed, the brothers going their separate ways to found new enterprises. Attilio's new design company lasted only until 1971 but that founded by Domenico - Giannini Automobili SpA - survives today as part of the FIAT Group. In 1963 Giannini Automobili began modifying cars and selling tuning kits. That same year it introduced its own modified version of the baby FIAT - the 500TV - and throughout the decade and into the 1970s Giannini-tuned cars battled with those of its rival Abarth on the racetracks of Europe. In 1966 Maurizio Zanetti became Italian Champion driving a Giannini-tuned FIAT 500. In more recent years Giannini has specialised in the production of limited-edition versions of FIAT production models. This attractive Giannini-modified FIAT 500 has formed part of an exclusive German collection in recent years and is finished in white with a contrasting turquoise interior. The car was owned by one family from Foggia, Italy from 1967 all the way until 2010, when it was bought by the current owner. It was found in very good driving condition, but due to the rarity of this model, the owner decided to have the car comprehensively restored by marque specialists. It is now described by the vendor as in very good condition and offers a very interesting alternative to an Abarth, which will certainly make you stand out from the crowd. Offered without reserve, this car must be seen to be fully appreciated.

1963 Renault Estafette 800

Lot #122 (Sale Order 22 of 84)

First introduced in 1959 the Renault Estafette is a small front wheel drive van that originally used a tiny 850cc Renault Ventoux engine that was upgraded in May 1962 to the 1108cc five bearing engine known as the "Sierra' series. Very popular in France they had an excellent payload and carrying capacity for a small van and are now regarded as both collectable and fashionable for use in modern day business as promotional vehicles. This rare Estafette 800 was built with the upgraded 'Sierra' 1108cc five bearing engine and is described as being in excellent condition with exceptional bodywork showing no rust on top or underneath. Known as the 800 because they could carry 800Kgs this little vehicle is still well up to the task, not least because it is believed to have covered just 31,000kms from new. It had a replacement speedo at 23,000 kms (which is still present) and currently shows just 10,973kms with service tickets to confirm) There are no signs of any welding work, rust or replacement panels and is described as mechanically excellent with no known faults. An ideal promotion vehicle for a small business or collectors car to tuck away and let gently appreciate. It will be UK registered by the time of the auction.

1997 Renault Spider

Lot #123 (Sale Order 23 of 84)

The Renault Sport Spider is powered by the 150bhp, 16v four cylinder, engine, which was first seen in the Renault Clio Williams and also used in the original Megane Coupe 16v. Given the relatively light weight of this car, that's enough to make it very fast indeed. Rest to 60mph takes just 6.9 seconds on the way to a maximum speed of 134mph. Take a seat behind the wheel and you instantly know that this car means business. Quite simply it's more race car than road car. With a single aluminium bar dominating the dashboard, there are only three dials set into a central pod on the dash. They don't include a speedometer, instead a rev counter, with oil and water pressure gauges. To complete the sports car feel, there are body-hugging Recaro bucket seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and adjustable pedals so the driver can achieve the absolute optimum driving position. The windows meanwhile, pivot up to open, arguably practical, certainly distinctive. The Renault Spider championships ran for several years as a support series to larger championships such as the British Touring Car Championship and groomed many fine racing drivers, such as Jason Plato. The Spider model was unfortunately discontinued after only a year and a half of production, with a total of 1,635 examples manufactured. In the UK only 60 right-hand drive examples were sold and the remainder of the cars went to the German and French markets. Presented here is a superb Spider finished in Pearl Yellow over Metallic Grey sporting Recaro buckets seats and a black alcantara Sparco steering wheel. This car is fitted with Bilstein Dampers, 18" alloys wheels clad in Toyo tyres and the engine has an uprated Piper Camshaft. The car has covered a mere 14,000 miles over the course of its 3 owners and the service book is stamped as follows: Specialist / Date / Mileage Renault Birmingham / 17.7.97 / 1,764 - Radbourne Racing / 8.7.98 / 5,460 - P.J. Autos / 27.6.00 / 6,408 - Renault (Tates, Brighton) / 13.11.06 / 7,860 At some stage in its life, we believe that this car has also been through the workshop of respected Renault tuning specialists K-Tec Racing, for fast road / race preparation, although we have no paperwork to corroborate this story. Included in the sale of this car is a set of its original road wheels, its original steering wheel, a tonneau cover and a hood. The service book & drivers manuals are also present. Supplied with a fresh MoT and road registered, bearing the registration ‘P503 MOA', this nimble Spider is ready to be enjoyed on the road, or alternatively on a track day, where we feel it wouldn't embarrass or disappoint.

1960 Austin Healey 3000 BT7

Lot #124 (Sale Order 24 of 84)

The Austin Healey 3000 has become one of the best known British classic cars of the 1950s and 1960s following spectacular success in international rallying and on the race track. A development of the Austin Healey 100-6, itself born of the four cylinder 100, the 3000 (MK I) was launched in March 1959 and was a significant improvement to the earlier Healeys. For example, the new 3000 featured front disc brakes, wire wheels as standard and a more powerful (124bhp) 2,912cc BMC C-Series engine, ensuring a top speed of approximately 120mph. There was also a choice of 2 seater (BN7) or 2+2 (BT7) body styles. The new 3000 was an instant success on the road, on the track and on the rally stage and has enjoyed a large club following since the 1950s. The example offered here is presented as a fantastic restoration prospect, having been in the hands of it's last owner since 1966! Prior to his ownership it is understood to have had just two owners. The Healey is in, what appears to be, very original condition. The speedometer was replaced at 88,000 miles and the engine was fully overhauled around 10,000 miles ago. The speedo currently reads 19,000 miles and the car was last MOT'd at 29,256 miles in July 1971. Another 210 miles were travelled before being garaged for 44 years! For most of this period the engine was started and run at regular intervals. Work has been done to enable recommissioning of the car, which included a new fuel pump and tank, new clutch master and slave cylinders. The engine we are told runs well and the gearbox simarly is in good working order however the overdrive has not been tested. The car appears to be mostly complete and even includes a very rare original works style hardtop. As is self-evident this ‘Big Healey' will need an extensive restoration but it is sure to be a very rewarding project. The car comes with a current V5C and it's green continuation log book showing its one owner since 1966. This is a fantastic opportunity to become the new custodian and to enjoy and treasure it for many more years.

1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi

Lot #125 (Sale Order 25 of 84)

The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor show in 1975 as a direct replacement for the Dino 246. Designed by Pininfarina with sweeping curves and aggressive lines the 308 has gone on to become one of the most recognised Ferrari's of all time. The Targa topped 308 GTS version was introduced in 1977 and was made famous by the TV series "Magnum PI". Fitted with a 2.9 litre DOHC V8 engine fitted with four Weber 40DCNF Carburettors that produced 255bhp the 308 went from 0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 159 mph. In 1980 fuel injection was added to the 308 and two years later four valves per cylinder were added giving quattrovalvole models 240bhp. The 308 was manufactured in both GTB and GTS forms from 1977 to 1985 before being replaced by the 328. This UK supplied Ferrari 308 GTBi was first registered on 5th November 1981 and has covered an impressive 30,200 miles from new. A documented speedo change took place at 8,200 miles and the odometer currently reads 22,000 miles. A large file contains bills and receipts along with the all-important original Ferrari wallet and service booklet showing servicing from Greypaul and other marque specialists. Finished in Tour de France Blue with cream leather interior, chassis number 38845 was unfortunately involved in a minor front-end collision in 2002 and is shown on the HPi report as a category D. However, there are pictures in the history file of the car being repaired and it is evident that none of the front tubular space frame required repairs. The car was repaired and resprayed and the interior re-trimmed. The current registered keeper has owned this Ferrari for over 12 years and he has clearly lavished significant time and expense on it. The vehicle is reported to drive very well, as one would expect from such a low mileage example. Ferrari 308 prices have climbed rapidly over the last 2 years and this 308 GTB represents a superb opportunity for Ferrari ownership at a most reasonable outlay. This example will be driven to the auction and we welcome any inspection on the car prior to the sale.

1936 Jaguar SS DHC Restoration Project

Lot #126 (Sale Order 26 of 84)

William Lyons (later Sir William) had not put a foot wrong since he had joined William Walmsley in founding The Swallow Sidecar Co. in Blackpool in 1922. He progressed quickly from sidecar manufacture to bespoke coachbuilding for car manufacturers such as Austin, Morris, Fiat, Swift, Wolseley and Standard cars and ultimately setting up SS as a marque in its own right. The gifted Lyons enjoyed a rare combination of business acumen, combined with a flair for exquisite design, and a canny awareness of what the market was seeking. The SS marque was launched late in 1931 with the 2-litre SSI and 1-litre SSII models, both side valve-engined cars with outstandingly stylish coachwork, whether in coupé or tourer form. The new 1½-litre Jaguar the first time the Jaguar name had been adopted by SS was introduced in September 1935. In saloon form it retailed at £285, boasted a top speed of 75mph and fuel economy of 28mpg. The styling was distinctive and so successful that it could clearly be evidenced even in models built after World War II. Acquired by its last custodian in 1973 this Jaguar SS was in a sorry state as can be seen in the photographs included in the cars restoration diary. Originally a Saloon, the car was stripped, the body removed and work was started to restore the chassis and rebuild the engine. The rolling chassis was completely restored and eventually completed to a high standard in July 1975 The original engine unit was too far-gone and a replacement 1.5ltr over head valve engine was sourced. This engine was stripped and rebuilt with a 40thou overbore before being mounted in to the newly restored chassis. Whilst this work was being undertaken the body was converted from it's original saloon specification in to its current rather handsome drop head coupe configuration. The cars restoration, it would seem, slowed and over the next 30 years it was worked on only on rare occasions to bring it to the condition that it appears in today. Currently the car runs and drives and the original, but refurbished, seats are mounted. The body appears to be completed however may need some finishing work and will also need painting. From what we can see the only interior items present are the dashboard binnacle and the lovely original instruments along with the seats. Presented with the car is an excellent history file including the original buff logbook, an old style V5C along with a handwritten restoration diary up to 1978, many past invoices and some images of the car in the late 1970s. There are even several invoices and an MOT dated in 1961. Certainly the oldest MoT Certificate we have seen! This car poses as a superb restoration project for any enthusiast to complete and own a rare and unique car with good history.

1991 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible

Lot #127 (Sale Order 27 of 84)

The XJS Convertible, which first appeared in 1988 at a price of £36,000, was considerably more than merely a coupé with the roof removed. The earlier 'T'-top cabriolet paved the way as the first open Jaguar since the demise of the E-Type in 1975, but this was to be the first full convertible and a strengthened sub-frame was employed in order to alleviate scuttle shake. It looked superb and elegant with the hood erect or folded and finally met the demands of the highly valued North American market. Retaining the roomy cockpit space of the coupé, the new convertible boasted a useful shelf for excess luggage and all the expected Jaguar refinements as standard. It made for a very fine open top grand touring car, exceeding the specification of home grown machinery and being much cheaper than the equivalent and high profile Mercedes SL. Today, this model is very much establishing itself as a most worthy latter day classic, good examples being eagerly sought by connoisseurs of the marque. This stunning right-hand drive XJS convertible was built on 28th June 1991 and finished in Meteor Red with a magnolia interior and a mohair hood. The car was dispatched from the factory on 26th August '91 and is thought to have arrived at its destination, Japan, in November / December of that year, supplied to Jaguar Japan Tokyo. Often referred to as ‘The Lost Decade', Japan was severely hit by recession from 1991 to 2001, when the Japanese asset price bubble collapsed, causing the economy to crash. During these austere times, luxury goods were not purchased so freely, and so this car did not sell until 1993. From that point on it led a pampered life being serviced and maintained as follows: Specialist Date Mileage Jaguar Japan, Setagaya Service Factory, Tokyo 21.2.94 1,563km Jaguar Japan, Shibaura Service Factory, Tokyo 19.6.95 5,584km Jaguar Japan, Setagaya Service Factory, Tokyo 30.7.96 8,586km Jaguar Japan, Setagaya Service Factory, Tokyo 19.7.99 10,890km Jaguar Japan, Setagaya Service Factory, Tokyo 22.3.04 Not logged Kremer, Co. Inc., Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture 17.11.06 20,578km Hyakuya Co., Ltd., Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 28.2.08 22,035km Imported back to the UK by our vendor, and now bearing the registration ‘L751 WEW', this car can only be described as stunning throughout, and is a potential concours contender. All handbooks and Japanese service bills are present in the history file, and the car even retains its original supplying dealer sticker in the rear window! Our vendor has even taken the trouble to have the service history translated into English for a potential buyer. Now reading only 24,400km on the odometer, which equates to 15,161 miles, this car is supplied with a UK V5c and represents a rare opportunity to purchase a pampered XJS convertible which has been well maintained throughout its life.

1980 Porsche 911 SC Targa

Lot #128 (Sale Order 28 of 84)

The Porsche 911 is a timeless design and the car dominated its class as soon as it was launched in September 1963. The name 'Targa' came from the Targa Florio road race in Sicily, in which Porsche had notable success: 11 victories in total. Porsche had, at one point, thought that the U.S. Safety Administration would outlaw fully open convertibles so came up with an ingenious approach to the first soft-top 911, the Targa sporting a hefty roll-over bar to protect the occupants in the event of an inversion, together with removable roof and rear hood sections, which were stowable in the boot. Introduced for the 1984 model, the Porsche 911 3.2, replaced the 911 3.0 SC. It shared the same body and chassis with a number of detail improvements. Although it remained an air-cooled 'flat six', the '3.2' was 80% new and incorporated an effective cam chain tensioner and associated lubrication system that at last addressed this perennial 911 shortcoming. With 231bhp on tap the new 'boxer' motor endowed the Carrera with a level of performance approaching that of the original 911 Turbo of 1974, the bald statistics being a 0-60mph time of 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 152mph. Delivered to its first owner, a Mr Karlon Young of San Antonio, Texas, by dealer Allan Porsche Audi Ltd on 23rd September 1980, this US-spec left hand drive Targa is presented in Grand Prix White with a beige interior. The next owner of the car, Mr Warren Sakaino of Honolulu Hawaii, obtained the car in January 1986, at which point it had covered some 15,000 miles. The history file that accompanies this car can only be described as comprehensive! The first bill dated 30th March 1987 is from Autohaus, Honolulu, Hawaii to a Mr Alan Clarke, the fastidious owner of this SC for the next 27 years! Bills from the aforementioned specialist between ‘87-'88 total $1,900 before the Mr Clarke decided to take his pride and joy to another specialist in Honolulu, Ala Mona Unocal, who maintained it at a total cost of $5,641 up until 1992 when the car had covered 43,657 miles. The service ‘baton' was then handed to Motor Werkes Inc., of Honolulu Hawaii, who billed Mr Clarke just over $15,000 over the next 9 years to look after the car. The final invoice from this specialist is dated 4th June 2001, by which point the car had reached 73,430 miles. We can only assume that the beautiful beaches of Hawaii no longer interested Alan, as an invoice made out to himself on 30th November 2001 is present from Scientific Automotive, Pasadena, California - a Porsche and BMW specialist in that area. Save for a name change to Scientific Motorsport and a new premises, this company went on to maintain the car for Mr Clarke at a total cost of $24,000 up until 2014 when the car was sold to our vendor and shipped to the UK. The warmer climes & sunshine of California have clearly had an effect on this car as is evident on the steering wheel and interior, however, our vendor has recently had the car professionally resprayed bringing the bodywork back to life and looking in fine shape. To be found in the file is also the original service book and drivers manual within their original Porsche wallet. Upon arrival to the UK, this car has been NOVA'd and import taxes paid, so any prospective buyer will need to register the car with the DVLA to obtain a UK V5c and then proceed with an MoT. With an odometer now reading what we believe to be a genuine 119,123 miles, this 911SC Targa offers great entry level Porsche ownership with a documented service history with only 3 owners from new.

1994 Ferrari 456 5.5 GT 6 Speed Manual - Left Hand Drive

Lot #129 (Sale Order 29 of 84)

For those in the know, the original Ferrari colour was Giallo Modena (Yellow). This was the colour chosen by Ferrari to grace his Prancing Horse and the colour that should have adorned the bedroom wall posters of any self-respecting schoolboy. However, popular culture took over and it wasn't long before Rosso Corsa stole the limelight and became the aspiring Ferrari colour of choice. Still, to the purist, Giallo Modena will remain the true Ferrari colour... Offered here is a left hand drive 456 GT 5.5 litre from 1994. The preferred manual gearbox version, this gentleman's express offers the ideal balance of performance and dare we say, supercar ownership with 437bhp in return for less eye-watering expenditure than today's Maranello offering. Reputely a one owner car, we regret we have insufficient evidence to warrant this claim but reasonably suspect this would actually be one company and one private owner. What is bankable however is that the car has always been serviced by the same Ferrari importer and supplying dealer, Cornes of Tokyo. This continued maintenance and care throughout the car's life in Japan from 1994 is understood to confirm the near 50,000kms (31,000miles) the car has covered, but this is based on Japanese translation being correct so again, is unwarranted. The car has been presented to Cornes at regular date intervals for maintenance and service work with many pages of documentation and invoices accompanying the car. This Ferrari is sold with full UK taxes paid and a log book application is underway. It is likely that it will arrive ahead of the sale in which case details of the assigned registration number will be available before the auction. A full 12 month MOT certificate will also accompany the car.

1968 Austin Mk 2 Mini Van

Lot #130 (Sale Order 30 of 84)

Perhaps the most instantly recognisable small car in the World, the Mini, was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors at their Longbridge and Cowley plants from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered to be a British icon of the 1960s. Its space-saving front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. The vehicle is, in some ways, considered to be the British equivalent of its German contemporary the Volkswagen Beetle, or the Italian Fiat 500. In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T. This ground breaking little car was conceived as a direct result of the fuel shortages following the 1956 Suez Crisis when petrol was rationed in the UK and sales of large family cars slumped, whilst the market for German made ‘bubble' cars boomed. Leonard Lord, the head of BMC, reportedly disliked these German cars so much that he vowed to remove them from the UK streets and design a 'proper miniature car' as a replacement. Sir Alec Issigonis was invited to put pen to paper and the result was the Mini. Upon its introduction in August 1959 the Mini was marketed under the Austin and Morris names, as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor. The Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini in January 1962 and Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. The original Mini had three major UK updates, the Mark II, the Clubman and the Mark III. Within the range there were a number of variations, including a Traveller estate car, a pick-up truck, a van and the Mini Moke. From 1960 to 1982 a commercial panel van was offered. Built on the longer Traveller chassis but without side windows, it proved popular in 1960's Britain as a cheaper alternative to the car as it was classed as a commercial vehicle and as such carried no sales tax. A set of simple stamped steel slots served in place of a more costly chrome grille. The Mini van was utilised by small businesses, delivery drivers and the AA alike. It was hugely adaptable, reliable and, of course, distinctive. Offered here is an original 1968 Austin Mini Van which is presented in a very rare state of preservation, showing a genuine 302 miles from new. The background behind its 'frozen in time' condition is fascinating, with the vehicle having been virtually unused for some 47 years after only covering delivery mileage to the original owner's address. First registered on the 14/03/1968, the van was bought new by a Miss G. Crumcott from Northern Ireland for the mere sum of £400 so that she could learn to drive. She never managed to pass her driving test and this brand new Mini van lay unused, locked away in her shed for nearly three decades. It was discovered in this same shed covered in old copies of the Ballymena Observer and could not have been preserved in better condition. It was eventually purchased by a local BMC Mini dealer and enthusiast Mr T. Turkington in 1997 and placed in the Mini Centres showroom until 2006. The van was then purchased by a car collector from Northamptonshire and has recently been brought back onto the classic car market. This van has never been restored and is presented in completely original condition, right down to the seat protectors and rubber floor mats fitted when new by BMC. It was also rustproofed from the factory. It still wears its original Dunlop cross-ply tyres with the spare wheel, tyre and tool kit all being unused and still retains its original exhaust and the factory sealed Lucas battery. This charismatic little van has enjoyed a recent light mechanical re-commissioning and is presented in perfect running order.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda'

Lot #131 (Sale Order 31 of 84)

The Mercedes 280SL ‘Pagoda' was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971. The W113 was then replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 evolved from a ‘sports car' into a comfortable ‘grand tourer' and was usually equipped with the four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The obvious change from its predecessor was the upgrade to the 2778cc M130 engine, which purists will tell you, finally gave the Pagoda adequate power. Now suitably refined, the car proved popular in the US market, however we've seen a significant increase in demand here in the UK, partly due to the 190SL rising beyond the budgets of many. This 280SL is an original right-hand drive car purchased and collected by a tourist client directly at Daimler-Benz AG at the Sindelfingen Factory. Built August 1970 the car left the factory finished in Middle Blue as seen here today but with Bambus upholstery. From what we can gather the car remained in mainland Europe for most of its life until our vendor acquired the vehicle. There is some history in the cars document folder with the earliest records being for some parts microfilm purchased in Sweden, 1989. Most parts invoices in the file appear from 1998 onwards by the previous owner in Sweden. Some restoration work on the car had been undertaken by the previous owner namely to the bodywork and interior. Further work was however halted until our vendor purchased the vehicle. The car appears in solid condition and the paintwork is quite good overall although displaying a few blemishes, probably relating to it's time in storage. The interior is in fine condition, the carpets are in good order and the seats look as though they have been professionally re-trimmed. Likewise the dashboard looks to have been restored in the past, however, the wood finishing appears untouched. The hard-top is included with the car and is not currently in the same order as the rest of the vehicle and thus needs a complete restoration. A new hood appears to have been fitted in the past and is in good condition with no signs of rips or excessive wear. Mechanically the car runs and drives and even has an MoT certificate with no advisories dated 19/12/13 - 18/12/14 and our vendor has also told us that the car will be presented with a fresh MoT at time of sale. Despite this the car will need mechanical attention, as the engine is smoky and running rough and as such we would recommend that the car is not driven away by the successful purchaser. With prices of these motor cars rising rapidly, particularly on highly sought-after 280SL models with the 2778cc engine, we feel we've guided this car very sensibly in order to allow a new owner to really make this car topflight.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

Lot #132 (Sale Order 32 of 84)

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was the final version of the famous R107 series produced between 1971 and 1989. It was world renowned for outstanding build quality, superb reliability and great all round performance from the 3.0 litre straight 6 engine. The 300 SL came with a standard soft top and optional hard top option. However, this cars' first titled lady owner insisted the factory produce an electric soft top option as well as the optional hard top when delivered new in March 1989. Although not officially available for UK spec cars the factory duly obliged and today this is one of very few UK officially supplied cars to offer this feature. The history file confirms an outstanding and full main dealer Mercedes-Benz service history which underpins the mileage today of 35,099 with the most recent service carried out in June 2014 at 34,818 miles. The total mileage is therefore warranted and the overall condition of the car commensurate with a history of just a few thousand miles every Summer from new. Resplendent in Signal Red with beige upholstery this 3 owner from new car comes with an MOT until October 2015, original handbooks and wallet, 2 sets of keys and new tyres all round. Spring is coming - press that button and enjoy the sunshine!

1971 Aston Martin DBS V8

Lot #133 (Sale Order 33 of 84)

This timeless Aston Martin styling with its basic body and chassis design, continued in use relatively unchanged through to the 1988 introduction of the Virage. Destined to replace the DB6, which continued in production through late 1970, the DBS was both longer and wider than its predecessor and was intended to carry an all-new race-bred aluminium, quad-cam V-8 engine. With its chic bodywork, opulent interior and bespoke Aston Martin cachet, the DBS became Aston Martin's first "supercar." This being a very early 1971 DBS means it sports the revered four-headlamp front of the traditional Aston Martin nose. Its chassis is a widened and stretched variant of the basic DB6 layout, with the live rear axle replaced by a de Dion setup providing improved ride and handling characteristics. As at the official launch in September 1969 this DBS is powered by the mostly hand-built, 5,340cc quad-cam V8 with abundant power and performance that eclipsed even the Vantage-spec DB6 predecessor. Mated to the precise Chrysler TorqueFlite automatic gearbox which received an overhaul in 2001 at the same time as the torque converter. The fuel injection system has likewise received an overhaul in 2009. It has a stainless steel exhaust and numerous past MOT's as well as freshly shod Avon tyres. This car shows 36,500 miles believed, by the previous owner of 12 years, to be genuine. The vehicle is in good condition and a pleasure to drive with plenty of power on demand from the V8 unit. In the current ownership the engine has been fitted with a re-conditioned water pump, new radiator core, new water hoses and the brakes checked as a preliminary service. The car will be offered at sale with a fresh MOT following the expiration of the current certificate on 15th April 2015.

2003 Porsche 911 GT2

Lot #134 (Sale Order 34 of 84)

Throughout recent Porsche 911 history the GT2 has been the fastest, most focused and most expensive version of the iconic car. In 2000, when Porsche introduced the 996 version with 483 bhp and no four wheel drive or driver aids, it quickly gained a reputation as the ultimate driver's car. This makes the GT2 one of the more interesting cars of recent times as most GT Porsches go on to become collectable and thus a car with a reputation like this can only gain kudos and legendary status over time. No four wheel drive, stability control or traction control, no rear seats, thin glass and a 30mm lower ride height set the opening scene. At the back, the GT2 has a larger fixed wing with extra air intakes tucked in to the supports to feed the turbochargers. Inside, carbon trim is liberaly added and there are huge race style leather seats, but no rear seats. The 483bhp engine is derived directly from the company's Le Mans winning 911 GT1 with a twin turbo 3.6 litre configuration featuring magnesium alloy and titanium in abundance. The advanced 6 speed gearbox derives from the GT2 race cars which have over 1 million miles of racing to their credit, thus 0 - 60 is comes up in just 4 seconds and 0 - 100 in 8.5! This particular car is in lovely original condition having being UK supplied and first registered on 5th February 2003 to Lancaster Porsche, Colchester. With just 30,950 miles recorded and a full Porsche main dealer service history, there are 8 service stamps in the booklet and a major service was carried out by the original supplying dealer in 2014. Finished in Arctic Silver with black leather, factory option codes include colour-coded sport seats, CD changer and aluminium interior trim. The 996 GT2 is considered by many to be an underrated model and with only 129 examples ever sold in the UK, the numbers would suggest they have decent long-term investment potential, especially when compared to other GT2 models.

1960 BMW Isetta 300 3-Wheel Bubble Car

Lot #135 (Sale Order 35 of 84)

We're delighted to offer here another interesting discovery, this being an originally UK built BMW Isetta, dismantled, but believed largely complete. Clearly requiring comprehensive restoration, this single-cylinder 248cc Isetta was re-registered in 1987 and carries the ‘GSU 819' registration. Sold with UK V5C this would make a very satisfying restoration. Being only demure in size, professional workshops and facilities may not be necessary making this an appealing proposition for the privateer restorer.

1957 BMW Isetta 300 4-Wheel Bubble Car

Lot #136 (Sale Order 36 of 84)

This is a 1957 very rare early UK-built car and was originally registered ‘WOC 990'. Barn found and believed stored since the 1960's, the car presents largely complete but partly dismantled. We understand that (as was common in period) the engine has dropped a valve which will require rectification, but otherwise this is a relatively straight-forward yet rewarding restoration/rebuild project for a skilled engineer. Regrettably no documents have been located, so the vehicle will require re-registration by the new owner upon completion and presentation of a valid MOT certificate.

1960 Berkeley T-60, 3-Wheeler Convertible Microcar

Lot #137 (Sale Order 37 of 84)

British car and caravan manufacturer, Berkeley Cars, were surprisingly late to the British microcar boom of the 1950's but their T60 was an instant hit. In the UK where three-wheelers could be driven on a motorcycle licence it offered an attractive proposition which combined with lower road tax and purchase prices should theoretically have secured its success. Regrettably, Berkeley's mainstream caravan business was in decline and the business failed to combat the dwindling demand. As such they were forced into receivership in 1960 after just 1,800 T60's were made. The T60 is powered by the 328cc Excelsior Talisman engine and the four-speed and reverse type VR gearbox. This T60 with just two owners from new (one of these for 53 years!) has travelled just 100 miles since it's last MOT in 2007, is now on SORN and is accompanied by a number of past MOT's. First registered in May 1960 this car has had just two owners from new and is in good condition for its year. Like many cars of more than 55 years it could benefit from some light cosmetic improvement. Today there is an active owner's club (the Berkeley Enthusiasts' Club), which provides a range of parts and services aimed at preserving the remaining few hundred cars known to survive worldwide. For the eagle-eyed amongst you perhaps you'll also notice the front-end styling cues which are evocative of the iconic Aston Martin DB5. No? Just us then... NB. The original chassis plate matching engine crankcase (number B12690) has been found and will be sold with this car.

1976 Daimler Sovereign 4.2

Lot #138 (Sale Order 38 of 84)

Daimler Sovereign was a name applied by British manufacturer Jaguar Cars to a sequence of luxury automobiles built by Jaguar but carrying the upmarket Daimler badge between 1966 and 1983. Daimler Sovereigns were based on contemporary Jaguar bodyshells, engine and chassis. Jaguar Cars first took over The Daimler Company in 1960, with the first Daimler Sovereign being based on the 1966 Jaguar 420 and occasionally referred to as the "Sovereign 420". Subsequent Sovereigns arose from the Series I, II and III Jaguar XJ6 model. From 1975 - 1978 Jaguar introduced a short-lived two-door pillarless coupé version of the Series II XJ6, using the short wheelbase floorpan and Daimler versions included the option of both six and twelve cylinder engines. This lovely Daimler coupe finished in Squadron blue with dark blue leather interior, was owned by Major Hugh Skillen from 1977 when the car was less than a year old. The original purchase invoice is included for £7,750.00 from the supplying dealer. Major Skillen was highly decorated and a letter of commendation is with the file from Major General Fredendall of the USA. He was also closely associated with Bletchley Park and the Enigma code breaking saga. On his retirement in 1976 he was invited to teach at Harrow school which lasted until his passing in January 2004, when his beloved Daimler passed to his son. A letter in the history file includes a letter from DVLA offering their condolences (how the DVLA have changed!). The paperwork suggests a genuine 59,000 miles has been covered. The car has clearly lived a much cosseted life and is presented in superb condition all round. The Daimler comes with a large quantity of previous MOT's, original 'Passport' and service booklet with 10 entries and associated invoices as well as the original handbook. A brilliant example with fascinating history - this Daimler is now ready, complete with current MOT, for a new custodian to cherish and enjoy.

1971 Porsche 911T 2.2 Coupe

Lot #139 (Sale Order 39 of 84)

Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, the basic Porsche 911 design would run virtually unchanged for twenty nine years. Ferdinand Porsche had been working on the design since the late fifties as a better performing replacement for the 356. Today, his design still underpins the production of Porsche AG of Stuttgart. Before long, the merits of using the Porsche 911 in competitive motorsport became apparent and history records it as one of the most successful campaigners of all time. From the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to grass-root motorsport, the 911 offered reliable performance in many guises. For 1970 the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger bore to give a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a "T". Alterations to suspension points improved the handling and gave the steering a better on centre feel. Offered here is a very original example of the sought after 911T which was first registered on 31.3.71 in Zurich, Switzerland. The original Porsche Pflegepass (registration document) with the car has a dealer stamped service history to 6.4.90 by which time the car had travelled just 58,787 km in 19 years. The Swiss service history resumes in 2004 and is continuous to date. The previous owner to our vendor imported the car from Switzerland in 2006. The odometer now reads 66,000 kms. It is understood from the previous Swiss owner that the distance travelled is in fact 166,000 kms, which is just 103,000 miles in 44 years. This is a beautiful, unmolested, matching numbers example, so difficult to find in this condition. The original colour was Albertblau as is documented in the Porsche certificate, this was subsequently changed to Gemini Blue. The interior is the original black leatherette with fabric inserts and the carpets original fleck grey. The car was supplied with a number of extras to the standard 911 T specification, 5 speed gearbox, Fuchs forged light alloy wheels, gold Porsche name and model number, aluminium sill protectors, 911 S instruments and rear window demist. The car is fitted with a working period radio. It has a modern alarm and immobiliser. As testament to its Swiss ownership the car came to us fitted with a period Clay Regazzoni signature steering wheel by Momo (itself rare). The original Porsche 4 spoke, leather covered, steering wheel comes with the car. In the last few months, the car has also undergone an extensive engine rebuild and the Carbs have been changed to a completely rebuilt set of matching Weber 40 IDAs along with a Pertronix Ingnitor Electronic Ignition kit. The original Zenith carburettors and Marelli Distributor and air box come with the car, so can be changed back to original setup in a very short time if required. It is rare to find a car in this lovely condition with a patina that restored examples simply cannot match. With 911S values at £200,000 for the very best, this 911T represents value and this car is surely a great usable investment at todays guide. Taxed and MOT'd until December 2015.

1959 Jaguar XK150 S Fixedhead Coupe

Lot #140 (Sale Order 40 of 84)

The XK150S was introduced in 1958 and is widely regarded as the culmination of Jaguar's engineering achievements with the XK series. Indeed the specification of the XK150S undoubtedly paved the way for the E-Type that replaced it in 1961. The "S" boasted triple SU carburettors, a revised Harry Weslake-modified cylinder head and a manual 4-speed overdrive transmission. Performance was seriously impressive for 1958 with an enhanced output of 250bhp and a top speed of 132 mph. The vast majority of 150S roadsters were sold abroad, most likely a consequence of a turbulent British economy and equally turbulent weather forecast. Offered here today is chassis number T836114 which was originally supplied to the USA in 1959 as a XK150 3.4S Having spent 30 plus years in storage the previous owner started restoration of chassis number T836114 however other projects took priority and we are therefore delighted to offer this XK150S. We are informed that this Californian ‘black plate' example runs and drives and that the bodywork is solid having been partially restored. It benefits from having some new panels fitted and the interior is in very good order. Needing not much more than the exterior finishing the opportunity exists to created a wonderful XK150S and with the values of this model rising considerably this one should not be ignored at this guide price. A Jaguar Heritage Certificate has been ordered and should be supplied in time for the sale. NOVA has been applied and UK taxes paid.

1958 Jaguar XK150 Roadster Restoration Project

Lot #140A (Sale Order 41 of 84)

2001 BMW Z8

Lot #141 (Sale Order 42 of 84)

The BMW Z8 was designed as a styling exercise to evoke and to pay homage to the stunning BMW 507 produced in the late fifties. Because of the sensation it caused at the 1997 Tokyo Auto Show BMW decided to go into production and produced 5703 Z8s from 1999 - 2003 with approximately half going to the USA. Unsurprisingly, as such a beautiful design it received the highest accolade by featuring in the 1999s Bond film, The World Is Not Enough. It was an engineering indulgence by BMW featuring an Aluminum space frame body and the famous 5 litre DOHC 32-valve V8 engine producing 400 bhp. Situated behind the line of the front axle, it gave the Z8 virtually perfect 50/50 weight distribution and out-performed its contemporary benchmark rivals in all departments. The Ferrari 360 Modena was left inadequate in terms of performance, handling and braking. Road tests by period magazines frequently better the quoted 0-60 times supplied by BMW and many achieved figures of circa 4 seconds. Most remarkable was its pure driving pleasure and its effortless Grand Tourer capabilities. BMWs mantra of ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine' was not wasted on the Z8. Delivered to its first owner, a Ms. Elizabeth Smith of Dallas, Texas, this car is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic with an all leather interior of Nappa Black and includes a hard top in body colour with a stand. During Ms. Smith's tenure, the car was maintained by BMW of Dallas, with four stamps showing in the service book, the last being in early 2007 at which time the car had covered 29,654 miles. In November 2008 the car left the United States, and was purchased by a Mr Lars Persson of Ystad, Sweden to be placed into his private car collection. Swedish registration documents in the history file are testament to the cars' time there. Our vendor purchased the car in April 2013 and entrusted shipping agents ShipMyCar to collect it from Sweden and deliver to the UK. They also helped register the car with the DVLA, pass the MoT test and put road tax on the car. At the same time, the car was fully modified to UK specification, which involved changing the headlights, fog lights and rear lights. An HSCC club member and a true motoring enthusiasts at heart, our fastidious vendor has spent in excess of £4,000 with Cooper Banstead BMW fettling the car to his liking during his ownership. A service was completed in May 2014 by the aforementioned dealership at 39,717 miles. The original leather bookpack containing service books & drivers manual also accompany the car. Included in the sale is a genuine Z8 spare wheel, full toolkit, a half tonneau, roll bar hoop covers and a wind deflector - all original BMW items that have been sourced and purchased by the current owner. Presented in superb condition throughout and with the odometer currently reading a genuine 39,753 miles, this BMW Z8 represents retro styling with the performance and refinement of a modern supercar. Sold with an MoT certificate until May '15 and a UK V5C registration, this modern classic is not be missed.

1980 Aston Martin V8

Lot #142 (Sale Order 43 of 84)

Newport Pagnell based Aston Martin was "re-born" in 1976 following the financial crisis of late '74, and one of the first jobs of the new owners, Sprague and Minden, was to thoroughly revise the V8. Accordingly the car was unveiled at the Birmingham International Motor Show in October 1978 as the 'Oscar-India' (October Introduction in the phonetic alphabet) complete with a now closed power bulge and a new neat integral spoiler on the boot lid. The car was more refined and more luxurious with walnut door cappings, an automatic gear box, full leather upholstery and air conditioning all as standard. Supplied new by James Edwards Ltd of Chester to its first owner, a Mr A.F. Piper, Beaconsfield, this Oscar India V8, chassis #12233, originally left the factory in Storm Red and was fitted with options that included air- conditioning, electric mirrors and ultra-rare cruise control. The early service history of this car is superbly documented with the original service book & continuation service book logging the services and mileage as follows: Specialist Mileage Date Aston Martin Lagonda 1,840 9.6.80 Aston Martin Lagonda 7,255 11.11.80 Aston Martin Lagonda 11,865 25.3.81 Aston Martin Lagonda 19,966 27.11.81 Aston Martin Lagonda 31,451 9.12.82 H.W.M Ltd 35,984 4.5.83 H.W.M Ltd 41,230 18.1.84 H.W.M Ltd 44,758 30.5.84 H.W.M Ltd 53,501 24.4.85 H.W.M Ltd 56,510 3.3.86 H.W.M Ltd 60,492 3.11.86 Four Ashes Garage 65,000 30.8.89 Aston Service Dorset 69,430 8.3.90 Runnymeade Motor Co. 88,594 3.4.02 SJB Classics 94,982 - SJB Classics 96,279 26.9.14 In the 90's the history file includes many invoices from Aston Service in Dorset for parts, labour and service work on the car with bills totalling more than £5,000 over a 3 year period. It's believed that in the early 2000's the front and rear suspension, brakes, differentials and driveshafts were all rebuilt, along with the sills and underside of the car that were stripped and rebuilt by Aston Service Dorset. Upon purchase of the car, our vendor set about returning ‘NBF 599V' to its best with a full body, interior and mechanical restoration in mind. The car was professionally repainted by L&L Bodyworks of Stoke-On-Trent at a cost of £8,000 and is now presented in the magnificent Cumberland Grey, with a cream leather interior retrimmed by experts AutoTrim of Cradley Heath at considerable cost. At the same time, the engine was stripped down, inspected and put back together, with many parts being repainted and re-coated where necessary, and as a result it now looks absolutely beautiful. The final build of the car was entrusted to SJB Classics of Stoke-On-Trent, details of which are fully documented in the history file at length. Sitting on its original GKN alloys, this car is now ready to begin the next chapter of its life, with nothing left to do other than turn the key and fire the V8 into action. Supplied with a UK V5c and an MoT until 15th April '15, and at a fraction of the cost of its predecessors, the DB4, 5 and 6, these V8's are certainly worthy of the attention of any serious car collector today.

1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa

Lot #143 (Sale Order 44 of 84)

In 1978 Porsche introduced their latest version of the widely acclaimed 911. Called the '911SC' it featured a 3.0-litre six cylinder engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed 915 transmission. Originally, power output was 180bhp, later increased to188bhp and finally in 1981, 204bhp. This left-hand drive 1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa is presented in its original, and rather unusual colour of Arrow Blue with a black leather interior. Reportedly only a handful of cars were painted in this colour. The car also features air conditioning, electric mirrors and electric windows. Imported from the USA to Poland last year where all customs duties were paid, the car has since undergone a major refresh including a full body respray, refurbished wheels, suspension parts sand blasted and repainted and a number of new trim parts fitted. With prices of all 911s continuing to rise, it would seem that the SC model offers the classic looks and feel of earlier models and a level of refinement and usability that were lacking in the pre-impact bumper model cars. Buyers please note that as an imported vehicle, this car will need to be registered with the DVLA to gain a UK V5c.

1998 Ferrari F355 Spider

Lot #144 (Sale Order 45 of 84)

The Ferrari F355 is a modern classic, so beautiful, so well-engineered and so well received that it marked the beginning of the end of the old-guard ‘Ferraristi' philosophy that the only "real" Ferraris were ones with 12-cylinder engines. The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and Targa GTS burst onto the world stage in the spring of 1994. It had almost exactly the same dimensions as its predecessor the 348, yet it was virtually a new car, as its stunning coachwork indicated. Many hours of wind tunnel testing influenced the harmonious shape which incorporated an F1 style flat bottom with an air flow channel that generated enough down-force to offset any lift. The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V8 had a stunning 380 horsepower at a spine tingling 8250 rpm. The gearbox now had six speeds with a new type of synchromesh that made it much easier to shift. New electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface. Around Ferrari's 1.86 mile Fiorano test track the 355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12 cylinder 512 TR and that level of performance combined with its sensational shape made it a worldwide success story. This stunning looking F355 Spider is presented in the popular Ferrari colour combination of Rosso Corsa with Crema interior and was delivered new to its first owner with a specification including electronic suspension, air conditioning and Rosso carpets. Throughout its life, this car has been carefully maintained showing the following stamps in the service book: Specialist Date Mileage Work undertaken Westover Sports Cars 1.2.99 4,203 Service Westover Sports Cars 22.5.02 7,192 Service & Cambelts Caracalla (Cortese Bath) 1.8.03 9,178 Service & Clutch Dick Lovett (MHT) Ltd 18.2.04 10,171 Service Dick Lovett (MHT) Ltd 25.4.05 18,050 Service & Cambelts Dick Lovett (MHT) Ltd 28.9.06 22,237 Service Dick Lovett (MHT) Ltd 16.10.07 23,893 Service Dick Lovett Sporting Ltd 8.4.08 - Service & Cambelts Dick Lovett Sporting Ltd 24.2.10 25,376 Service Meridien Modena Ltd 29.10.14 25,400 Service & Cambelts In fact, the latest service carried out by Meridien Modena not only included cambelts and auxiliary belt replacements, but also removal of the F1 display for repair, regassing and replacement filters for the air conditioning and a replacement clutch, flywheel & release bearing.

1997 Porsche 911/993 Targa Tiptronic S Coupe

Lot #145 (Sale Order 46 of 84)

Often regarded as the last of the real Porsches and now the most sought after of the recent 911's, the discontinuation of the 993 in 1998 marked the end of the air-cooled versions. Introduced in late 1993 it differed from the outgoing 964 having a noticeably more rounded bumper profile and wider rear arches to accommodate the wider track that improved the handling. The interior noise levels were reduced and the ride quality improved. A dual flow exhaust, larger cross drilled brakes and improved steering were just a few of the other improvements Offered here is a Porsche 911 Targa Tiptronic S in the most desirable combination of Metallic Black with black interior. Originally supplied new by the Porsche Centre Glasgow in January 1997 it was supplied with air conditioning and electric seats and windows. The factory options also included a lowered chassis, rear wiper and high level brake light. The service book contains fifteen stamps, some main dealer and some marque specialists. The last service was conducted by Porsche Centre Dublin last year at 91,339 miles and the odometer now shows 96,100 miles. This is a low ownership example with a history file that contains various invoices, owners manuals and comes with an MOT until March 2016. As air cooled Porsches continue to become sought after this Targa in this combination looks very attractive.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 2+2 Coupe

Lot #146 (Sale Order 47 of 84)

A host of changes were made to the E-Type for its Series III incarnation. A new 5.3 litre V12 engine was introduced as well as uprated brakes and power steering. The short wheelbase fixed head coupé body style was discontinued and the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The car was easily identifiable from earlier models by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches and a badge on the rear that proudly states what lies under the bonnet. Finished in the beautiful Jaguar colour of Willow Green with matching Suede Green leather interior, ‘KGV 76K' was originally dispatched from Browns Lane in 1971 and delivered new to a UK buyer. Reading just over 80,000 believed genuine miles, there are 19 previous MoT certificates since 1987 that support the total mileage. Numerous bills and receipts from a large history file document expenditure, especially in the last 18 months. Recent work includes a professional respray and there are pictures in the file showing the work carried out. The Willow Green paint has been finished to a high standard and the shut lines are excellent with straight and true body panels. The Suede Green leather interior is highly original and in beautiful condition. Additional features include a stainless steel exhaust system and 4-speed manual gearbox. The V12 engine fires first time, it sounds very healthy with good oil pressure and a recent service has just been carried out. Supplied with a recent MoT certificate, this E-Type is ready for use this spring and would make an ideal touring companion.

1958 Jaguar XK150 SE Coupe

Lot #147 (Sale Order 48 of 84)

The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK and it appeared in May 1957. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the XK140 sharing the same 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, which developed 180bhp at 5750rpm. ‘The Jaguar XK150 is undeniably one of the world's fastest and safest cars. It is quiet and exceptionally refined mechanically, docile and comfortable... we do not know of any more outstanding example of value for money,' concluded The Autocar. An original Right hand drive car manufactured 14th August 1958, ‘900 AOM' is ripe for restoration and features the factory ‘Special Equipment' package from new. This package included wire wheels, and an uprated engine that is mated to the original four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and limited slip differential. Appearing to be in notably solid condition the car is believed to be full matching numbers as confirmed by the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Some minor recommissioning work has been undertaken on the car and we are told the engine runs well with good oil pressure. A stainless steel exhaust has been fitted along with new front brake calipers. The car comes with new windscreen chromes and wiring loom along with other assorted spare parts. Inside the car seems to be very original, except for the carpets, and is mostly complete. The seats appear to be in remarkable condition considering their age and, along with the rest of the car, ripe for a very worthwhile restoration. Presented with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, the original buff logbook and a current V5C, ‘900 AOM' is a terrific motorcar that could be a "pride of joy" in a serious Jaguar enthusiasts' collection.

1989 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo Targa

Lot #148 (Sale Order 49 of 84)

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine 'Supercar' that defined the seventies and eighties. It was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am program. The bodywork received special treatment to produce one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail. The brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. The final evolution of the 930 Turbo saw the engine capacity increased to 3299cc, with improved upgrades on the intercooler and, for some, the fitment of the G50 transmission. This superb 930 Turbo Targa is believed to be 1 of only 18 UK supplied cars that feature a G50 gearbox, the vast majority of Turbo Targas featured the 4-speed unit. In total, just 58 UK right-hand drive cars were built in a three year production, making this model the rarest of the 930 Turbo derivatives. Delivered new on 1st April 1989, this stunning example is finished in Baltic Blue with cream leather interior. It was sold new by official Porsche main dealer JCT600 to a Mr O. Rydborn and was sold again in 2000 by respected marque experts Paragon Porsche. The history file details bills and receipts for work over the years and retains nearly every single MoT certificate from 1993-2008, when it was exported to a significant German collection. Purchased by the current owner last year, he drove the car back from Germany and reports that the journey was an "absolute joy". The condition of this car would suggest that it has been maintained to the highest standards and stored in a temperature controlled environment. The bodywork and paintwork are in fine order and the shut lines are very consistent throughout the exterior. The inner wings and spare wheel compartment retain a factory feel and the engine bay is very presentable. The interior is in lovely condition with only minor wear to the gear-knob and outer lip of the instrument cluster. The total mileage of the 930 is a mere 74,500 miles. The registration papers are currently German, however, there is NOVA paperwork from HMRC stating that there are no taxes or duties to be paid and the car should go back to its previous registration number of F109 UMP. This beautiful Turbo Targa will be fully serviced prior to the auction and has a current MoT until October 2015.

1997 Bentley Continental R

Lot #149 (Sale Order 50 of 84)

First introduced in 1991 and produced until 2003, the Continental 'R' was the last sports coupe designed and produced whilst Bentley was still British owned. It was the most expensive car in the range when launched at £178,000 and was then substantially updated in 1994 with Cosworth upgrades to the 6.75 litre turbocharged engine and 17 inch wheels to help justify the price rising to North of £200k. However, the most significant upgrades came in the 1996 model year when a liquid cooled chargecooler became standard, along with Zytek engine management and a corresponding uplift in power to 385bhp and an enormous 550 lbs/ft torque at only 2000 rpm. This 1997 model benefits from those upgrades and features, and has covered just 57,800 miles from new. The comprehensive history files confirm all services carried out from delivery in Sept '97 from Straight Eight Bentley up to the most recent service in Dec 2012 by noted Midlands Bentley Specialists - RR and B Garages - at 54,575 miles. Our vendor bought the car nearly 4 years ago and carried out a recommission with bills on file confirming new parts fitted which include: rear discs, pads, ABS sensors, callipers, brake pipes, suspension spheres, handbrake pads and fuel pipes. He has used the car sparingly covering just over 3,000 miles during his tenure and reports that the car drives extremely well with no known vices. Finished in Peacock Blue with Sandstone leather upholstery and Royal Blue carpets this very smart car is now ready to be enjoyed once more as the model is now being recognised as a future classic with just 1236 ever produced. *PLEASE NOTE THE NUMBER PLATE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE*

1981 Porsche 911 SE Sport Targa

Lot #150 (Sale Order 51 of 84)

In 1978 Porsche introduced their new version of the 911, it was called the '911SC'. It featured a 3.0-litre six cylinder engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed 915 transmission. Originally, power output was 180bhp, later 188bhp and then in 1981 it was increased to 204bhp. It was during production of this car that Porsche AG decided the long-term fate of the 911. In 1979 Porsche had made plans to replace the 911 with their new 928. But sales of the 911 remained so strong that Porsche were forced to revise its strategy and they decided instead to inject new life into the 911. The 911 SC is commonly recognised as the benchmark of that decision, and with total sales reaching 58,914, the public had spoken. Offered here is this 911 SC Targa Sport in Grand Prix White with a Metropole Blue leather interior, with white seat piping. This car is fitted with the very rare M14 Sport Pack, which consisted of 16" wheels, front and rear spoilers, Bilstein dampers and a thicker anti-roll bar. Other notable optional extras fitted when the car was new included, electric sports front seats, electric heated door mirrors and a Blaupunkt stereo. Contained within the history file is the original service book which shows 15 service stamps, carried out mainly by Porsche but also some marque specialists. The last service was carried out in November '14 by a Porsche Main Dealer. The drivers manual, bills and old MoT's are also included in the history file, along with a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche. Now showing a believed genuine 76,864 miles on the odometer, this SC Targa offers the opportunity to enjoy the ‘brand' this Spring.

1959 Porsche 356C Cabriolet

Lot #151 (Sale Order 52 of 84)

Porsche introduced the 356A at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1955 completing their 356 line-up of coupes, cabriolets and speedsters. Major changes were the 1600 cc engine, curved screen and revised suspension. Ruetter remained the coach builder. Tyre technology was improving rapidly allowing more advanced suspension design and higher fuel octanes enabled greater engine outputs . From the outside the 356A was only slightly different with wider tyres, a rubber strip below the doors and the curved screen being the most obvious changes. The interior however now featured a flat-face dashboard with locking glove box, a radio, headlight flashers, automatic interior lighting and self cancelling indicators. A steering wheel lock and dashboard clock were options. Offered here is a Porsche 356A Cabriolet finished in Metallic Silver with black leather upholstery. It has been restored to a very good standard and retains much of its originality. The history file shows that it was imported from Montreal, Canada in August 2003 and was MOT'd in December of that year acquiring the UK registration, WAS 957. In May 2004 it featured in Classic and Sports Car (copy included) as editorial by Richard Heseltine entitled ‘Glam that rocks', comparing it with another stylish 50's roadster, the Mercedes 190SL. Our vendor then became the new owner and set about making improvements as the car resided with him in Madrid. The engine was fully rebuilt by Baltasar, a Porsche Club of Spain recommended specialist. The history file contains a comprehensive account of various mechanical parts purchased from Peter Hoffman of Saarbrucken. The car comes with its UK V5 registration document. The period road test sums up precisely the fun of ownership of a well sorted Porsche 356A Cabriolet and at today's guide price represents a sound financial investment combined with lots of driving pleasure. It also retains many of its original features including revised bumpers, correct rear number plate illumination, radio and dashboard controls.

1987 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe

Lot #152 (Sale Order 53 of 84)

The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina for styling and it was sold as a mid-sized coupe and, eventually, a cabriolet. It was conceived as a 'usable' model, offering the practicality of four seats with the performance of a Ferrari. The car's body was not built as a monocoque in the same way as a conventional car but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena and built over a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial model was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it was on earlier models. Like the new 328 GTB, the Mondial's engine grew in both bore and stroke to 3.2 Litres (3185 cc) for 1985. Output was now 280 bhp (201 kW). Available in both Coupe and Cabriolet forms, styling was refreshed with restyled and body-coloured bumpers, similar to the 328 with more integrated indicators & driving lamps, and new wheels with a more rounded face. The 3.2 also boasted a major interior update with a more ergonomic layout and a more rounded instrument binnacle. From 1987 onwards cars sported ABS. This 3.2 Coupe was sold new on 11/9/1987 by Colmore of West Bromwich to a M. Thompson of Birmingham. FInished in the most appropriate colour combination of Rosso Corsa with Crema leather interior, this example is presented in highly original condition and has covered an incredible 12,250 miles. This mileage is supported by 17 MoT certificates and 6 stamps in the service book. Looking at the car in detail shows that it has clearly led a privileged life and we have not seen a better example in recent years. The bodywork is presented in lovely condition, the interior is immaculate and all books and tools are with the car. This underrated modern-classic will be supplied with a full condition report by respected Ferrari specialists Terry Keys at Silverstone.

1988 Ferrari Testarossa

Lot #153 (Sale Order 54 of 84)

The name 'Testarossa', literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the 50's and 60's and was reincarnated at the launch of their new model at the Paris Show at Porte de Versailles in 1984. Housing a 4.9 litre V12 engine pushing out 390BHP, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and top speed of 196mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossa's were produced in total - with the ‘twin mirror' cars now being recognised as the most collectable examples. This excellent Ferrari Testarossa was delivered new to Switzerland and has spent much of its life being cosseted in a private collection. Now in the UK the car is UK Registered with a current V5C and as been regularly used and enjoyed by our vendor. At the time of cataloguing the odometer indicates a mere 43,200kms (aprox 27,000 miles) and the car is in fantastic condition with a superb service history showing a recent thorough service and cam belt change within the last 1500kms. Inside the interior is in superb condition, featuring the rare optional red leather dashboard with cream leather seats and red carpet. The car comes complete with jack, spare wheel, tool bag, and the leather handbook pack, along with a current MoT until 2016 and all import papers relating to the car. Testarossa's seem to be starting to find their feet now in the collector car market and this car is an excellent example at a realistic guide so don't miss out before their values run away!

1995 Porsche 911 (993) CoupÃ©

Lot #154 (Sale Order 55 of 84)

Porsche manufactured the 993 from 1993 through to early 1998, its discontinuation marking the end of the air-cooled Porsches. There were many technical improvements over the outgoing 964. The rear suspension was now alloy, together with the sub-frame, which made for far better handling and ride. The transmissions were improved in both the manual (now six speed - a first for Porsche) and the Tiptronic gearbox which became more sophisticated, recognising gradients and descents and so improving the driving experience. Mechanically, the brakes and exhaust systems were all improved. The bodywork was revised to give a more rounded style, with a genesis that is apparent in today's 911s'. Engine development included Porsche's VarioRam induction system that improved the torque characteristics of the engine, which greatly improved the overall performance. This was a standard feature from 1996 onwards. Delivered new to Hampshire in August 1995 via AFN Limited of Guildford, this Coupè is fitted with the excellent responsive Porsche Tiptronic gearbox and is finished in surely the best colour combination of Midnight Blue metallic paint with Grey leather interior and is accompanied by Porsche leather wallet & book pack, plus service book showing the following maintenance record: 13/9/1995 - 2,071mls, AFN Ltd, Hampshire 25/5/1997 - 17,677mls, Porsche Belgard Autoplaz, Dublin, Ireland 21/8/2002 - 48,016mls, Smith Auto Developments, Dublin, Ireland 15/9/2003 - 52,556mls, Smith Auto Developments, Dublin, Ireland 25/3/2004 - 54,110mls, Smith Auto Developments, Dublin, Ireland 30/3/2005 - 57,430mls, Spark Plugs, Belts, Front Brake Pads, Rear Discs + Pads - Herman Motor SVCS, Delgany, Ireland 13/2/2006 - 67,501, Ken Fields Garages Ltd, Dublin Ireland 15/1/2015 - 75,649, Martin Brown Porsche Tech, Coventry Included in the history file is also a print out for work undertaken by Gerard Lee Motors Ltd between 68,379mls and 74,152mls including a invoice for £3,333.01 for maintenance work undertaken. Presented in good all round condition this 993 benefits from recent maintenance expenditure of £948,36 in January 2015. An excellent usable example that appears in fine fettle but also has some scope for aesthetic improvements if desired.

1986 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Auto

Lot #155 (Sale Order 56 of 84)

Mercedes-Benz has been manufacturing cars with the designation SL (Sport Leicht or Sport Light) since the 300 SL, popularly known as the Gullwing, in 1954. R107 and C107 models were produced from 1971 through to 1989 and represented the second longest model run in the company's history after the G-class The R107 took the chassis components of the mid- size W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the S-Class (W116). The SL variant was a two seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top, hardtop and optional foldable seats for the rear bench. This era of Mercedes-Benz are now regarded as the best built cars of the marque. This unique 500 SL convertible has covered a staggeringly low 9,044 miles from new and was previously part of the famous Patrick Car Collection, set up by Joseph Patrick of Patrick Motors Ltd. Eventually he commanded a collection of some 240 cars until his passing, when his son, Alexander, opened up a museum in Kings Norton to present the cars his father had so carefully collected over the years. Finished in Classic White with a grey leather interior, this car is in outstanding condition and is completely original to the day it rolled off the production line. In September 2013, the car enjoyed a full service at a Mercedes-Benz main dealer, and has only covered 58 miles since. The history file for the car includes a stamped service book, stacks of bills, old MoT's and the original owner's manual. The registration ‘9 LYX' is also included in the sale of this truly one off car, which has never been driven in the rain. In the custodianship of our vendor for the past 4 years, cars of this quality rarely come onto the open market, making this a very special prospect indeed, and one that we are proud to offer.

1972 Porsche 911T 2.4 Targa

Lot #156 (Sale Order 57 of 84)

In 1964 the legendary Porsche 911 first entered production. This timeless design was a result of the work of Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. The 911 soon became a car renowned for its unparalleled driveability, a product of precise rack and pinion steering, torsion bar suspension and disc brakes front and rear. Early models were powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat-six engine mounted at the rear and mated with a five-speed manual transmission. Over the years the mechanics of the 911 slowly began to change and the 1972-1973 model years saw a new larger 2341 cc engine. To cope with the increases in power and torque the 2.4 L cars also benefited from a newer, stronger transmission, identified by its Porsche type number '915', directly derived from the Porsche 908 race car. The 915 did away with the 901 transmission's "dog-leg" style first gear arrangement, opting for a traditional H pattern. Offered here is a left-hand drive 911T 2.4 Targa painted in colour code 018-9-2, more commonly known as Tangerine Orange. The interior is finished in black leather and has recently been enhanced by new door trims & bins and a re-covered steering wheel. The Targa roof has also been given a refresh both inside and out. The body work on the car is said to be in good order and as recently as August last year, the car was treated to a professional respray, at which time it made sense to fit new lenses and rubber seals. We understand that this US-imported car has had only two owners from new, and upon arrival in the UK has been NOVA'd and import taxes paid, so any prospective buyer will need to register the car with the DVLA to obtain a UK V5c. This lovely 2.4T Targa is not to be missed and is a great opportunity to enjoy a classic 911 in a rising market.

1969 Jensen Interceptor Mk.II

Lot #157 (Sale Order 58 of 84)

Recently discovered and purchased by a long-time Jensen enthusiast seeking a restoration project, this car fitted the bill perfectly but, sadly, an unfortunate change in circumstances means that he won't be able to complete the rebuild of this most deserving Interceptor. His project requirements were quite specific and essentially he was looking for a '69 Series 2 right hand drive UK car with the bullet proof 6,300 cc Chrysler engine and with most of the chassis restoration completed. We understand from the vendor that the car itself is more than 90% complete meaning to a restorer with the correct skills this could be a relatively simple project. It is, after all, the sourcing of individual and hard-to-find parts which slows progress on a restoration such as this. No serious attempt has been made to start the engine recently but we understand that it turns over and is not seized. We understand that the vehicle has had six former keepers and is accompanied by a UK V5 document confirming that the car carries its ‘825 JGW' registration, recently valued at £2,000 by Reg Transfers. This car is sold as seen and offered without reserve. We anticipate interest at c£8,000+ given the reasonably simplicity of the project and all the wealth of accompanying parts either affixed to the car or separately boxed. An exciting project for somebody.

1968 Porsche 911 Coupe

Lot #158 (Sale Order 59 of 84)

First presented to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the Porsche 911 replaced the 356 and was styled by Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and Erwin Komenda, who was then head of the Porsche design department. The 911 retained the air-cooled, rear engine layout and independent rear suspension and would not only see a continuous production run right up to the present day , but it would also become the most successful ‘road derived' race car in history. None of the ‘blue riband' motorsport events in the world right through from Le Mans, Daytona, the Targa Florio, and International rallies to national grass-roots events were complete without a Porsche 911 in one guise or another. In World Endurance events the Porsche 911, with its production underpinnings, became a 'nemesis' even to purpose built prototypes. As a sports car it has endeared itself to the world's motoring fraternity and continues to feature as one of the top three cars of all time. This highly original 1967 built (1968 registered) Porsche 911 is a left-hand drive example that was supplied new to a Mr L.C. George in sunny California. The car remained in his possession until 1977 when it was sold to a Mr Pate of Ridgecreast, California who, according to invoices in the file, owned the car until 2010. Finished in metallic blue with its original black vinyl interior and carpets, the car has never been restored and has been the subject of an older re-paint. The original handbook, service record book and Blaupunkt radio are also included in the sale of this vehicle. One of only 473 built for the US market in 1967, the car has been UK registered and has an MoT test certificate until October 2015. These early 911s rarely come onto the market in this condition and it represents an exciting opportunity for Spring motoring in a truly iconic Porsche.

1967 Ford Mustang Cabriolet

Lot #159 (Sale Order 60 of 84)

The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid-'60s the biggest population bubble in history was now coming of age in America, ‘baby boomers' would rule the '60s and there was little or no reason to think they wanted to drive cars that were anything like the ones their parents owned. The iconic Ford Mustang therefore created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and therefore it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon. The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘notchback' coupé or convertible. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon the cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear end design and both its roof and bonnet were also lower in comparison. It's with those proportions and detailed with such iconic touches as the galloping horse in the grille, the cut away side detailing and the rear lights divided into three sections, that the Mustang became a car that people were instantly passionate about. This 6 cylinder example was built in 1968 at the Metuchen, New Jersey Plant. The car was imported to the UK in 1980 and has remained here since. It appears to be in generally original condition and well maintained thoughout it's life. Owned by our vendor since 2011, the car in his ownership has continued to be well maintained with the recent fitment of new Koni Shock absorbers and a brake system refurbishment in 2012. Presented in good usable condition, the car is prime for being enjoyed on sunny days (as our vendor has), or equally would be an excellent restoration project for someone.

2010 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (997)

Lot #160 (Sale Order 61 of 84)

The concept of the rather special Porsche 911 GT2 is to take the most powerful turbo engine in the range of the day and combine it only with rear wheel drive and a manual gearbox. At the same time Porsche upgrade and modify the suspension, brakes and engine output whilst lightening and removing interior components to create the ultimate drivers version of the car at that time. This recipe has been used with the 993, 996 and 997 versions of their iconic 911 model. This car is the 997 GT2 RS version of the Porsche 911 introduced in May 2010 and is one of just 500 produced worldwide. The engine uses twin variable geometry water cooled turbo chargers to produce a serious 620bhp and 516 lbs foot torque which lead to a terminal speed in excess of 205mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.4 seconds! Supplied new to Austria on 24-11-2010 as a 2011 model year car finished in Black with Black Leather and Alcantara seats, this left hand drive car was specified with cruise control and sports bucket seats in addition to all the standard items - which include a carbon bonnet, factory roll cage and carbon brakes . The car was then sold on (as many were because of their rarity and price premiums) to Dubai. Recently imported back from Dubai to the UK the car now has a Nova reference number and can therefore be UK registered if desired and has all taxes paid or could be exported unregistered. It has covered just 8284 Kms from new (which is 5,150 miles) and represents a rare opportunity to experience the ultimate version of the 997 which has already started to be recognised as a modern classic and significantly escalate in value.

1974 Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino

Lot #161 (Sale Order 62 of 84)

Ferrari had established an incomparable reputation for fabulous sports and GT cars with front mounted V12s during the 50's and 60's, but were a little nervous of introducing a smaller road car that didn't quite fit into the 12 cylinder, Grand Touring mould. Despite the best efforts of the marketing men who knew that simply having the name Ferrari on the new car would guarantee worldwide sales, senior management at Maranello were not convinced and decreed that their new baby should display to the world that it was a 308 GT4, at least until 1975. This new model was always destined to raise eyebrows, with its transverse V8, pair of rear seats and looks that divided families. As is often the way, Bertone's styling effort probably looks better now than it ever has, but at the time the proportions gave traditionalists an attack of the vapours. For all this the car was a huge success being bigger and more usable than any other mid-engine car had managed or would manage for a while. More than 3,600 were sold, dwarfing sales of V12 models and showing Ferrari the way forward. Today, these '70s Ferraris have come of age with their classic looks and brilliant handling and are as fast as you are ever going to need in the real world, with a top speed of over 150mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of 6.4 seconds. So what's not to like? Particularly when you consider that a decent example will cost no more than a moderately sized new family car which will continue to shed value faster than yesterday's newspapers. We understand this to be one of 547 right hand drive cars supplied to the UK market. Between February, 1996 and October, 1997 the car had a comprehensive body restoration with the panel fit and Rosso Corsa paintwork remaining in excellent condition to this day (except for one recent scratch on the offside rear wing and a loose driver's door lower window channel). The underneath of the car is also in excellent condition and invites inspection and to our mind corroborates the cars stated mileage being in the realms of 65,000miles. We have previously been informed that whilst in earlier ownership the engine was rebuilt in 1992 by Ferrari specialist, Rosneath Engineering, at a cost of some £5,000, and recent mechanical expenditure includes replacement rear shock absorbers, replacement cambelt, new clutch, new fuel sender unit and professional tune-up. When warmed through both the engine and gearbox perform exactly as you would expect from a very well cared for example such as this and the car drives without fault. Obviously previous owners have maintained this Ferrari in a manner befitting the marque and this is evident. The 308 GT4 has been an underdog for many years but, as a drivers' car, is superb in every way and has earned the right to call itself "A Ferrari". Recent months have witnessed a lift in prices as the collector car world wakes up to the potential of these cars. Unlike many Ferraris the GT4 is practical and with a decent sized boot and near proper rear seats. Engines are tough by supercar standards and it drives beautifully. Supplied with UK V5C, MoT to November 2015 this is an investment to watch...

1971 Jensen Interceptor Series II

Lot #162 (Sale Order 63 of 84)

This 1971 Jensen Interceptor looks resplendent in Gold, with a black vinyl roof and it's striking outward appearance is set off nicely by its recently re-trimmed black hide interior. The 6300cc engine employed in these earlier Interceptors was the most economical and reliable of all of the Chrysler engines and this one is still going strong, as you would expect, maintaining excellent oil pressure and running at the correct temperature. Those in the know will tell you that the 6,300cc is a neat bullet-proof engine which knew how to behave itself. Since 1980 it has been the property of an enthusiastic owner who only parted with it in 2013 after 33 years in his tenure. The car comes with a healthy history file containing invoices for maintenance over the period of his ownership. Recently the car has been fitted with brand new alloy wheels sporting white wall tyres and has been completely re-trimmed with new black hide and good-quality black carpet. The car is not perfect and over the course of the next few years would benefit from some cosmetic improvement and a little effort on the bodywork, however, the car is solid and with such a strong engine and accurate gearbox it's a worthy candidate. It appears that prices for Interceptors are finally coming of age. Between £50,000 and £70,000 has recently been achieved for better cars, and more for rarer variants such as the FF. Given this rise, we feel that this car represents value and serious bang for your buck in today's classic car arena.

1972 Porsche 911 T Targa

Lot #163 (Sale Order 64 of 84)

In the early seventies, Porsche were in a "rich vein" of competition success. Its not surprising that the 2.4 litre 911 variants of that time are considered a reflection of that engineering prowess. Race input had resulted in revised suspension pick-up points and Koni dampers enhancing the 911. Power from the 2.4 fuel injected unit resulted in a wonderful free revving engine. The larger capacity engine gave the 911 that much more drivability in the lower rev range. The 915 5-speed gearbox completed the package. Steve McQueen helped to immortalise the 911 'S' in a "reflective moment" at the Sarthe in the film "Le Mans". This 1972 Porsche 911 2.4 T is finished in its original colour combination of Light Yellow with black interior and features Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection, as seen on the E,S and RS models from the same era. The certificate of authenticity confirms that the engine is the original and states the car was sold with US equipment of light metallic wheels, stabilisers, comfort equipment, tinted glass and Dunlop tyres. Supplied with the original service book and handbook, this 911 Targa was brought over to the UK last year and has all EU taxes paid. Offered with a fresh MoT certificate, this car represents classic 911 ownership for half the price of a brand new Targa model.

1990 Bentley Turbo R LWB

Lot #164 (Sale Order 65 of 84)

The Bentley Turbo R was based on the Mulsanne chassis, however, the Turbo R was built to be a high performance car. Like its predecessor this Bentley had a turbo charged engine, however it was highly tuned in comparison to the Mulsanne. With Bosch fuel injection to increase torque levels, uprated suspension, anti-roll bars and superior dampers, the Bentley Turbo was surprisingly nimble in the bends for a car of its size. Using a 6750cc V8 capable of 135mph the Bentley Turbo R was a real performer in a straight line too. Although the addition of alloy wheels, a first for Bentley, had some enthusiasts and owners clubs thinking the car was slightly too flamboyant. However rave reviews in the press helped dealers move the Turbo R in relatively substantial numbers - one report by Motor Trend described it as "The first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name". Released in 1985 the Turbo R was a clear indication that the manufacturer intended to be at the leading edge of the fashionable sports car market. The Turbo R went on to be one of the best-ever selling cars that either Rolls-Royce or Bentley had built. A slight face-lift of the Turbo went ahead in 1989, with the most noticeable changes being the replacement of the two large square front head-lamps with quad round head-lamps giving the car a more sporty and individual look. This Left hand drive 1990 Bentley Turbo R L WB 4 door automatic Saloon, is showing an odometer reading of 19,140 miles. We are told ‘G264 VHM' was originally a special Jack Barclay of Mayfair London order exported to Japan as a special order, then we are told it was subsequently Imported back to the UK from Japan 14 months ago. Presented in Metallic black with contrasting white leather interior with black piping, white carpets including white boot carpets with we are told lambs wool rugs throughout, white footrests, triple chrome switches, and Piano Black rear seat folding tables. Specification also includes central locking, electric windows, electric mirrors, blaupunkt bamberg SQR 05, Stereo, electric memory front seats, cruise control, abs, air con. Supplied with Bentley Motors (Osaka Japan) Service History, with all accompanying original Bentley handbooks and wallet. This car we are advised has had a pre-inspection and prep carried out by Individual Specialist Cars of Birmingham and an MOT expiry date of 03/03/2016 with a full UK V5C Registration certificate, this is an opportunity for civilised motoring for a most reasonable outlay.

1998 Ferrari F355 Spider

Lot #165 (Sale Order 66 of 84)

Produced from 1994 to 1999, the Ferrari F355 was an evolution of its predecessor, the Ferrari 348. The engine bay housed a new and improved 3.5 litre V8 engine producing a reputed 380 bhp and at the launch two models were on sale; the Berlinetta GTB and the targa top GTS, with the Spider becoming available in 1995. Delivered new to its first owner, a Mr J. Michael, this Spider is finished in Rosso Corsa Red and is upholstered with a Nero Black leather interior. Options on this car include electronic suspension, air conditioning, 18" alloy wheels and a stereo system with a CD player. Maintained by a mixture of main dealer and specialists thereafter, the service book is stamped as follows: Specialist Date Mileage Work Lancaster Ferrari 8.5.00 6,851 Service Verdi Ferrari 12.6.01 7,663 Service Verdi Ferrari 20.7.02 8,922 Service Verdi Ferrari 2.4.03 10,370 Service & Cambelts Rosso Corsa 25.11.04 12,246 Service Rosso Corsa 17.11.05 13,956 Service Verdi Ferrari 25.6.06 14,525 Service & Cambelts Verdi Ferrari 2 4.2.09 16,343 Service Dave Walton Specialist Cars 24.8.09 18,616 Service, Cambelts & Clutch Paul Cummings Specialists Cars 18.11.10 21,134 Service DNC unknown 2,880 Service Millbrooke Cars 4.8.12 23,705 Service & Belts Alexanders Prestige 18.6.13 24,816 Service Having recently gone through the workshop of an Official Ferrari Dealer, this car has been given a clean bill of health and checked throughout.

With the odometer now reading a mere 26,285 miles, this car is offered with a fresh MoT and UK V5c and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner this Spring.

1991 Ford F350 XLT Lariat Pick Up Truck

Lot #166 (Sale Order 67 of 84)

The F-Super Duty models appeared from 1987 to 1997. They were basically F-450s built as an "incomplete vehicle" (chassis cab) due to the fact that there was no bed installed and an aftermarket bed, specifically ordered as to its future use was added after the truck's initial build date. It came with dual fuel tanks with a dash-mounted toggle switch to switch between each tank while using only the one fuel gauge. It came with a PTO (Power Take-Off) used to power attachments, such as winches or a tilt bed, from the transmission. With a 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating they were a formidable heavy-duty pick up truck. They came with either the standard 7.5 L (460 CID) petrol V8 or the optional 7.3 L (444 CID) diesel V8. All wheels were 8-lug with Dual Rear Wheels. Offered here is a diesel powered XLT Lariat model that has been sympathetically restored. The bodywork has been stripped and benefits from fresh paint, the wheel arches and twin wheels only removed for transportation purposes. The interior is in very good order and your attention is drawn to the conversion to right hand drive making this ‘monster truck' an ideal UK towing vehicle. Requiring only some minor fettling and attention to the diesel injection system, although it does run, this powerhouse that represents everything American is a worthy addition to any fleet. NOVA has been applied for and the vehicle will need to be MoT'd to complete the UK registration process.

1970 Porsche 911 T Coupe

Lot #167 (Sale Order 68 of 84)

Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, the basic Porsche 911 design would run virtually unchanged for twenty nine years. Ferdinand Porsche had been working on the design since the late fifties as a better performing replacement for the 356. Today, his design still underpins the production of Porsche AG of Stuttgart. Before long, the merits of using the Porsche 911 in competitive motorsport became apparent and history records it as one of the most successful campaigners of all time. From the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to grass-root motorsport, the 911 offered reliable performance in many guises. For 1970 the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger bore to give a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a "T". Alterations to suspension points improved the handling and gave the steering a better on centre feel. Offered here is a very original example of the sought after 911 T which was first registered in 1970. This Coupe has resided in the dry climate of California for the majority of its life and was brought over to the UK last year by the current owner. The bodywork is described as: "very bright with no rust, straight shut lines and nice body panels. The engine is very sweet and it drives beautifully." Finished in the rare colour of Bahia Red with black interior, this lovely example has a current MoT certificate and all EU taxes have been paid. Ready for registration anywhere in Europe, we welcome any inspections on this vehicle and buyers are encouraged to view this 911 in person to fully appreciate its quality. Alternatively, potential bidders are welcome to contact the office for a fair evaluation of its condition.

1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback

Lot #168 (Sale Order 69 of 84)

First released in 1964 the iconic Ford Mustang created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable and therefore it needed to share much of it's engineering with an existing Ford product. They decided to base the Mustang on the smallest US Ford at the time, the Falcon. The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘notchback' coupe or convertible. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon. Compared to the Falcon its cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front end and shorter rear design, and it is those proportions and details, like the running horse in the grill, the cut away side panel and the three section rear lights that have resulted in the Mustang enjoying iconic status. This striking Fastback Mustang has recently been subject to a full body restoration at a cost of £8,500 with photographic evidence documenting the work undertaken. All chrome mouldings front and back are new including side chrome drip rails and door handles. The interior was restored some two years ago in America and is in excellent condition. Prior to its import, engine work has been carried out on the car. We understand from the previous owner that the work undertaken includes a new Ford Motorsports 289ci engine block built to 10:1 compression fitted with SCAT cast crankshaft, Forged rods, Keith Black flat top pistons and Comp Cams XE247hr roller camshaft along with Comp Cams Roller Rockers. Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads have also been fitted along with an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold mated to an Edelbrock 800cfm carb. The Dyno sheet available is showing a healthy 279bhp with 308 ft-lb of torque @ 5916 rpm. The engine is mated to a new Ford Motorsports T5Z 5 speed manual transmission with Ford Motorsports competition clutch. Power is transmitted to the road through a Currie Enterprises 8" TSD posi/trac-loc differential with a 3:55 ratio. Fitted to the car are Tubular headers and dual exhausts combined with Flowmaster 50's mufflers, giving the car a fantastic growl! The running gear of the car features recently refreshed uprated suspension and brakes all round with a Global West welded in sub frame. Tasteful aftermarket Halibrand style wheels have been fitted which really finish the car off giving it a great stance. One the coolest cars ever made this iconic muscle car is begging for the 279 horses to be unleashed.

1969 Lotus Europa S2

Lot #169 (Sale Order 70 of 84)

The Lotus Europa is a two door mid-engined GT coupé built by Lotus Cars from 1966 to 1975. The Europa was designed and built to be an embodiment of Chapman's oft-stated philosophy of automotive design: "Simplify, then add lightness." This 1969 Lotus Europa was purchased by the current vendor around Feb 2014 as a non-running project. Previously dry stored by a dealer, who eventually decided that he did not have time to give the project the attention it deserved, the current vendor then purchased the little Lotus with the intention of carrying out a full recommission and adding it to his collection as a "keeper" car. During 2014 'DRA 311G' benefited from a considerable amount of work including, we are told, a new exhaust system, new gearbox seals and mounts, carb serviced and rebuilt, new throttle cable, new rear suspension struts, all brake parts replaced, new master cylinder and servo unit, all fluids changed and a general vehicle service. The fuel tank was removed, cleaned out and a new sender unit installed. Once the car was mechanically sound it was given a full road test and was then placed into the hands of the trim shop at Allon White Sports Cars who fitted new carpets and headlining and generally tidied the interior. At the same time the car was fitted with updated door pins from Banks Europa and a set of new door seals. The car is fitted with a Renault Crossflow engine and, we are advised, starts without issue, runs quietly and idles perfectly. The bodywork is not concours but is good for the age of the vehicle and is perfectly presentable as it stands. Currently showing 76,800 miles on the odometer and now offered after recommissioning this Lotus Europa is currently MOT'ed and Tax exempt. The vendor advises us that a fair amount of money has been spent returning this car to the road and it is only a change of circumstances and a new motor sport project for 2015 that means he now has to reluctantly thin out his collection. This 'pocket rocket' is a cost effective entry into 1970's classic cars and is sure to turn heads on days out or historic events alike. Viewing recommended.

2005 Aston Martin DB9

Lot #170 (Sale Order 71 of 84)

Launched at the 2003 Frankfurt motor show, the exceptional Aston Martin DB9 promised to be one of the most sought after supercars of the decade. Henrik Fisker's flowing design retained all the good looks of its predecessor, the highly acclaimed DB7. Weight was kept low by the use of aluminium and composites for the bodywork, while power from the V12 was a healthy 450bhp. This provided the Aston with acceleration to 100mph from standstill in only 10 seconds, then on to a near 190mph maximum speed. Weight distribution was a perfect 50:50 thanks to the front-mid engine layout with rear mounted sequential transmission. Finished in the classic combination of Titanium Silver with Obsidian Black Leather and Walnut Veneer, this desirable 6-speed automatic DB9 has covered fewer than 50,000miles from new in the hands of just five owners with mostly Aston Martin main dealer service history as follows: 11/01/05 - Pre-Delivery Inspection - Paramount Cardiff 07/03/03 - 1,008miles - Stratstone of Wilmslow 11/01/06 - 7,185miles - Stratstone of Wilmslow c2007 - 9,937miles - Broughtons of Cheltenham (date can't be read beneath dealer stamp) 17/02/09 - 14,410miles - HWM Aston Martin 03/08/09 - 24,929miles - HWM Aston Martin 05/02/10 - 34,337miles - HWM Aston Martin 30/04/12 - 47,754miles - Burgess Engineering, Heathfield 06/10/14 - 48,430miles - Pine Garage Ltd, Heathfield The bodywork and interior are in lovely order and reflect the low mileage and consistent maintenance that this car has received, however, regrettably a light bite of corrosion by the driver's door handle and at the very nose of the bonnet provide the only two blemishes worthy of mention and are not unusual . The wheels and tyres are in good order all round and the MOT is fresh as of March 2015. When you consider that this car with options may have cost more than £110,000 when new in 2015 we feel that this Aston Martin represents outstanding value in the modern classic sports car market today. In fact, we can recommend no better modern GT classic to enjoy driving.

1994 Ferrari 348 Spider

Lot #171 (Sale Order 72 of 84)

Introduced in 1989 as a replacement for the 328, the 348 production line ran until 1995, when the 355 was introduced. Late in 1993, after 3 years of production, the 348 was revised with enhanced styling changes and a power lift from 300 to 320BHP from its 3.4 litre V8. At the same time the suspension geometry was revised, which was considered to vastly improve both the handling and ride quality of the car, particularly when coupled with the factory enhanced chassis rigidity. At the same time Ferrari introduced a brand new Spider version. This car is one of only 75 Spiders that were made in right-hand drive for the UK market. It was delivered in August 1994 and immediately shipped to Singapore and then Malaysia. Approximately 3 years later the car was brought back to the UK and registered on 1st January 1998. The car is reading a mere 19,116 miles and this mileage is supported by 9 stamps in the service book and 13 MoT test certificates. Servicing has been carried out exclusively by Mortimer Houghton Turner and Bob Houghton from 1999 at 4,337 miles. The last major cambelt service was carried out at 18,723 miles in October 2013 by Bob Houghton. Supplied with a decent history file, current MoT until September 2015 and all books and tools, this 348 Spider is presented in the superb colour combination of Rosso Corsa with Nero leather interior. This beautiful car will be supplied with a full condition report by respected Ferrari specialists Terry Keys at Silverstone prior to the auction. 348 prices have been steadily climbing in recent years and this example is the best we have seen for many years.

2000 Bentley Arnage Red Label

Lot #172 (Sale Order 73 of 84)

Launched in 1998 the Bentley Arnage replaced the previous Bentley Turbo luxury saloon. Built by Bentley Motors in Crewe, from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling named the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998 and were the first entirely new designs from the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. The Red Label model was launched in October 1999. Bentley made several minor modifications to the original BMW engined cars, and designated them as the "Arnage Green Label" for the 2000 model year. As part of the modification process, both Red and Green Label cars received stiffer body shells and larger wheels and brakes. The stiffer body shell and larger brakes were needed because of the extra weight of the British engine. The Bentley Arnage Red Label offered here is a terrific example finished in Metallic Black with Black hide piped in Red. Showing 77,800 miles the car has been well maintained and is presented with a service book, which includes 10 stamps. A very striking car in particularly nice condition at an attainable guide price.

1986 Mini Mayfair Limited Edition Auto

Lot #173 (Sale Order 74 of 84)

The Mini is the most significant small car ever produced. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and produced from 1959 until the year 2000 it is the most succesful selling small car of all time. This car is a "BL" era car and features items such as a rev counter, servo front disc brakes, plastic wheel arch and sill covers, opening rear side windows and plush velour seating. Known as the "Mayfair Edition", it was a popular version. This car is a 4 speed automatic version owned by one family (2 members) from new and has covered just 11,200 miles, as verified by the full service history. Said to drive very well, this nippy Mk IV Mini has plenty of life left and is offered with original handbooks, an MOT until September and 2 sets of keys.

1972 Rolls-Royce Corniche Fixed Head Coupe by Mulliner Park Ward

Lot #174 (Sale Order 75 of 84)

When Rolls-Royce launched the Corniche in 1971 the international jet set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. With waiting lists measured in years, these iconic vehicles changed hands at vast premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables of Mayfair. The Corniche saw Rolls-Royce for the first time dispense with the need for a chauffeur and was the first model to offer a rev counter. The Coupe by Mulliner Park Ward wafted to 60mph in 9.8 seconds, powered by the whisper quiet 6.7 litre V8 engine and it is widely regarded that the success of the Corniche saved Rolls-Royce for future generations. Of the 1,108 produced between 1971 and 1982 it is believed only 33 are currently on the road with six on SORN, making this important motorcar a rare sight on British highways. The silhouette enjoys something close to cult status and this vehicle is in the best colour combination of Ming Blue, coach lined in gold, with a wonderfully original magnolia Connolly hide interior still fitted with a working,we are informed, Eight Track player. Impeccably maintained under current ownership with receipts of nearly £15,000 on file including recent repairs to the air conditioning. The detailed history file includes a raft of old MoTs. Previous owners maintained the car with no expense spared using marque specialists, latterly, Bentley Cardiff. The brightwork is immaculate and not a hint of rust sullies the elegant flanks thanks to early restorative works to the wheel arches and sills. However, as one might expect from a forty-three years old vehicle, the Ming blue paintwork is beginning to show its age, and would benefit from some cosmetic refreshment. As a desirable early Corniche, that has aged with grace, this motor car offers the buyer a solid conveyance that no other marque could offer at this guide price in today's market. The leather however is beginning to show its 93,000 miles and the front seats would require some attention, should the buyer wish to correct forty-three years of patina. The cashmere headlining and coverings present beautifully today and the woodwork is in good condition for its age. Indeed, bearing in mind the build quality of Rolls-Royces of this period, the odometer reading is a mere footnote in the car's history, showing average usage of around 2,200 miles a year since manufacture. The engineering quality, even after all these years, shines through. The doors shut with the satisfying clunk synonymous with the "best car in the world". The vendor, its fourth owner, a discerning collector of Ferrari and Rolls-Royce offers this mechanically superlative Corniche for sale reluctantly. His busy schedule means the car remains forlornly underused. Offered freshly serviced and with a new MOT, this rare motor car offers incredible value and an ownership experience like no other.

1984 Ferrari Mondial QV (3.0)

Lot #175 (Sale Order 76 of 84)

Much has been said about the Ferrari Mondial, in print and on television but the facts speak for themselves, it was the most commercially successful Ferrari of all time. It was designed by Pininfarina to convey four people at speed and in luxury and to become the marque's first usable supercar since the 330 2+2 of the 1960s. Many of the Mondial's design features were to be used in legendary Ferrari classics such as the Testarossa, and it remains to this day an icon of form and function. The 1984 Mondial Quattrovalvole we have here has the benefit of being one of the last models to be made prior to the Mondial's later engine amalgamation with the 328. The 3.0 V8 churned out a respectable 240bhp at launch coupled with a glorious soundtrack. Of the 1,145 coupé QVs built between 1982 and 1984, just 152 were in right hand drive, with fewer still finding themselves on British roads. This example has an odometer reading of 29,000 miles and the history file boasts receipts and MoTs dating back to 1997. Under the current vendors ownership the cambelts and idler bearings were changed in January 2013. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine, gearbox and rear suspension assembly is on a detachable steel subframe. This design made engine removal for mechanical works far easier, meaning lower mechanic's bills compared to other Ferraris of this era. The car further benefits from a new stainless steel exhaust system. Featuring the later 3.2 bumper, the car presents well today, and it is believed by the owner that the Mondial benefitted from a bare metal respray at some stage. The alloy wheels look in great shape and there is some five months to run on the MoT. The tan Connolly hide interior, a feature of the Mondial's luxury cruiser status shows little if any wear, seemingly corroborating the odometer reading. The car has attended many car shows and events, holding its own amongst best of breed examples of much higher value. Ferrari is rightly regarded as the pinnacle of style and engineering and as a brand the classic car market adores it. With prices continuing to head north, an opportunity to own an example made by the best at Maranello will be rare in the future at this price level.

1998 Rover Mini Cooper Sport Limited

Lot #176 (Sale Order 77 of 84)

The most successful small car of all time is perhaps the most fitting and accurate summary of the Mini. Produced between 1959 and 2000 there were over 5 million Minis manufactured in total, testament to Sir Alexander Issigonis's outstanding design. This car was built in 1998 as a Cooper Sport Limited Edition and registered initially as a display car to a dealer in Germany. The 1275cc engine was the top of the range at the time and the car remained unsold until being imported back to the UK in 1999. Offered with just 3 owners from new, the history file shows lots of invoices from Mini specialists and confirmation of a Superchip upgrade and a twin tank conversion. The original handbooks and service book confirm the mileage of just 17,300 and the car is said to drive exceptionally well.

1961 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 Litre Saloon

Lot #177 (Sale Order 78 of 84)

The Mk II 3.8 Jaguar saloon was a handsome, powerful and good handling saloon built from 1959 to 1967. It was a quick car, even by today's standards, with 220bhp on tap, a 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 125mph. Therefore, when new, it was one of the fastest four door saloons on the planet and soon gained icon status from both its racing pedigree and its high profile use by both the police and of course the 'get away' drivers of the day! This 3.8 Litre Mk II Jaguar was purchased by the previous registered keeper in 1974 and has not been used since a tree fell on his garage, damaging that building and denting the car's roof and buyers should note that a second-hand roof is offered with this vehicle. The current owner aquired this example in 2011 and has simply stored the car with a reputable firm ever since. An automatic transmission model, '5686 TR' has had only seven owners from new and has been preserved in highly original condition. The car is complete and thus an excellent candidate for restoration. Sold strictly as viewed, it comes with its original buff logbook and Swansea V5.

1991 Ferrari 348TB

Lot #178 (Sale Order 79 of 84)

The Ferrari 348 series marked a radical departure in the way Maranello constructed its cars, replacing as they did a chassis of traditional steel tubes with a much stiffer monocoque structure with a tubular rear subframe. Suspension remained independent front and rear with wishbones, springs, telescopic shocks, antiroll bars, and revised geometry. The ventilated disc brakes were much larger than those of its predecessor the Ferrari 328, and used anti lock technology. A midship-mounted V8 returned, but it was larger and more powerful displacing 3405cc, mounted longitudinally and mated to a transverse gearbox. The displacement accounted for the new car's Ferrari 348 designation. The suffix TB came from the transverse gearbox and closed Berlinetta body style. A higher compression ratio and updated fuel injection helped generate 300 horsepower, 30-40 more than the Ferrari 328, whilst a dry-sump oiling system gave the new Ferrari a lower centre of gravity. The 348 was the last design under the supervision of legendary chief stylist Leonardo Fioravanti. Taking cues from the Testarossa, its forms were softer than those of the 328 but still curvaceous, the side strakes being the most obvious Testarossa inspiration. The wheelbase was longer than the 328's and the track wider, giving the interior more space. Imported from Germany and first registered in the UK in 1997 this left hand drive 348 has an odometer reading of 53,044 kilometres, equating to some 32,960 miles at the time of consignment. The fully stamped service book reads as follows: 10,000km Service by E. und Th. Wichelhausen at 9,467km 20,000km Service by Classic Automobile GmbH at 17,296km 30,000km Service by Gschwendtner Fahrzeugtechnik at 28,000km 40,000km Service by Gerd Walger Automobile at 37,329 50,000km Service and cam belt replacement by Auto Classico, Bristol at 51,877km The vendor, the car's second owner, is reluctantly offering this undervalued example of the Ferrari marque for sale through us. With fond memories of motoring through his native Italy, the vendor informs us the car behaved impeccably. Due to business commitments the car has had little use in recent years, showing just 2,000km since the cam belt replacement. Regularly started and idled to temperature the car has been correctly dry stored during this vendor's ownership. Presenting well today, the Nero interior shows little, if any, signs of wear. The Rossa Corsa paint is in good overall condition, however cosmetic refreshment is required to correct stone chips to the front, a common problem with low slung sports cars, and there is a paint chip to the rear bumper that also requires correction. The 348 has been largely ignored in the Ferrari market and offered here for sale is surely one of the best value Ferraris in the UK market. With values of it's predecessor, the 328, edging close to £100,000 and with its successor, the F355, selling above the £50,000 bracket, this 348 offers ideal entry level Ferrari ownership and will be sold freshly serviced and newly MoTd. Please note that the private number plate is not included in the sale and DVLA retention proceedings have begun.

1996 Porsche 911 993 Targa

Lot #179 (Sale Order 80 of 84)

Often cited by enthusiasts as "the last real Porsche" the 993 straddles the bridge between pure high performance driving thrills, visceral dynamics, and appealing design-led solutions to emissions and safety requirements. No previous 911 variant had such high-speed cornering ability and stability via the use of widened track and all-alloy rear suspension. The six-speed manual gearbox not only surpassed the previous four and five-speed gearboxes in usability, but most commentators also found it to be a quicker reacting and a smoother gear change, in turn allowing full concentration to be employed on the road ahead rather than fighting the gears themselves. The Targa, introduced for the 1996 model year, changed the future of Porsche Targa roof designs by being an all-glass retractable surface rather than removable panels - cementing the link between heightened functionality and aesthetic form demanded by buyers from the 1990s onwards. This design had the added visceral benefit of a clean coupe line from A to C pillar (previous Targas incorporating bulky roll-over protection on the B pillar to facilitate the removable panels). The 993 Targa Tiptronic offered here is finished in Iris Blue and has a blue / biscuit tan leather interior. Although the early history of the car isn't present, we can ascertain from looking through the history file that the car has been through the workshops of Autostrasse, Paul Stephens Ltd, Rivervale Porsche and Porsche Colchester during its life. In May 2006 the car was treated to stone chip removal by the Vehicle Repair Centre, Kent, who painted the bonnet, front bumper and both front wings, along with a mechanical polish to improve the overall finish of the car. Presently showing 95,504 miles on the odometer, this car is supplied with its toolkit, driver's manual and a spare ignition key, as well as a UK V5c and an MoT valid until June '15. In its present form, it's fair to say that there are areas for improvement on this car, but as values of Porsche 993's continue to climb and at this guide price, ‘JSV 993' cannot be overlooked.

1981 Porsche 911 SC

Lot #180 (Sale Order 81 of 84)

In 1978 Porsche introduced their new version of the 911, it was called the '911SC'. It featured a 3.0-litre six cylinder engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed 915 transmission. Originally, power output was 180bhp, later 188bhp and then in 1981 it was increased to 204bhp.

It has all of its original tools and packaging, original spare wheel plus air compressor, books, keys and its original window sticker. It has recently been serviced and the air conditioning system updated and re-gassed. The service history is rather scant with only 3 stamps in the service book, but the car has only covered 51,800 miles from new with the last major work being an engine rebuild @ 38,250 miles in December 2003 and carried out by Autohaus in Chatham, New Jersey after the car had been sitting for 7 years. There is however documentation including copies of invoices and two New Jersey 'Title Certificates' that confirm the mileage up until December 2009 when it had covered 45,523 miles.

1969 Rover P5B Caravanette

Lot #181 (Sale Order 82 of 84)

First registered in 1969 this Rover P5B Coupe was sold to it's second of, we believe, four registered keepers in 1971 and he made the unusual decision to mount a one off hand built Caravanette frame onto the chassis of the P5. The conversion was obviously a success as he enjoyed many years of touring in the West Country and extensively on the Continent. Sadly, however, having purchased the vehicle in 1996 the current owner quickly established that the caravanette structure had succumbed to the rigours of corrosion and wood worm and needed to be rebuilt. The framework, ceiling and most of the cladding was replaced and resprayed and it seemed an ideal time to modernise the interior and kitchen area. The wiring was also brought up to date enabling the lighting to be run from a 12 volt or 240 volt external feed with all the appropriate cut outs etc. Having owned the vehicle for 19 years the interior has been redecorated a couple of times and as recently as last year was treated to new wallpaper, fittings and bed cover. The Rover P5 is a well respected classic and the vendor believes this to be the only one fitted with a hand built body in this style and it certainly attracts interest wherever it is seen. Included in the sale are certificates and rally plates from 1999 London to Brighton Classics, a David Bache award plate from the Rover P5 Owners Club in 2001 and a large framed photo collection showing the original construction of the caravan body. Potential purchasers are advised to inspect the condition of the frame and supporting structures to establish how much refurbishment may be required. This vehicle is offered for sale with No Reserve and has a current MOT Certificate expiring on 21/10/2015. Once refurbished and decorated in your own style, this vehicle represents an ideal opportunity to enjoy many years of classic holidays and weekend breaks. Viewing recommended.

1969 Porsche 912 Restoration Project

Lot #182 (Sale Order 83 of 84)

The year after production of the legendary 911 had commenced in 1964, Porsche introduced the similarly bodied 912 as an entry level model to the prestigious German marque. As such, it shared its monocoque steel chassis with that of the 911, together with independent front torsion bar and trailing arm rear suspension with all-round disc brakes. At the 912's heart, however, was a 1,582cc flat four cylinder engine - rather than the 911's 1,991cc six cylinder unit. This Porsche 912 was manufactured in 1970 and delivered new to the United States. The car is sold without reserve and offers an opportunity to a restore a Porsche from the ground up. Offered as a virtually complete restoration project, this lot is sold strictly as seen.

1973 Triumph Stag

Lot #183 (Sale Order 84 of 84)

Like the Triumph 2000 it was developed from, the Stag was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and driveline of that Saloon. The power plant, though, was an all-new OHC, V8 of 2995cc capacity fed by a pair of Stromberg carburettors. The newcomer received a warm reception at the time of launch in 1970. This car from 1973 has received extensive restoration work in the past and shows little or no rust. There are a handful of finishing jobs requiring attention to make sure that the car runs and drives expertly but these are not considered to be exhaustive as the car was in semi-regular use up until 18 months ago when it was laid up following the passing of its then owner. It has previously been the subject of a Category C insurance claim in 2004 which the insurer chose not to repair. Clearly, since the car has been used in the years between then and now the repairs have been undertaken and the car presents today as a solid and worthy car for final fettling. It even boasts a stainless steel exhaust as of just two years ago. The car has travelled just 100 miles since the last MOT in 2013 and shows just 15,000miles on the odometer but we cannot warrant this claim since we regret no history has been uncovered for the vehicle from its previous long-term owner. There is however a V5C present and this confirms the correct engine accompanies this car, and the registration JOW 456L remains.
