Bentley S1

Lot # 251 (Sale Order: 51 of 153)      

Successor to the R-Type, the Bentley S1 was introduced in 1955 with a whole new chassis; the car's wheelbase had been extended 3" to 123", and the luggage compartment was expanded. The S1 had softer suspension than the R-Type, with electrically-controlled rear shock absorbers. Brakes had been improved, and the steering was lighter, even more so after 1957 with optional power assisted steering. This model marked the final integration of Bentley with Rolls-Royce - the standard saloons were now entirely alike, but for grills and badging. The engine was Rolls' 4887cc F-head six, in its final configuration before the introduction of V8 power in 1959. Manual gearboxes were supplied only to special order. With the introduction of the aluminium 6230cc V8 engine in 1959, the S1 Bentley became the S2, and the corresponding Rolls-Royce was renamed Silver Cloud II. The British Magazine, the Motor reported a top speed of 103 mph and 0-60 acceleration of 13.1 seconds from a short-wheelbase S1 in 1957.   This 1956 Bentley S1 was first supplied to Mac Dowall Equipment Co. Ltd. of Romford Essex. In January 1964, the next own owner was Frederick Meekins based in London SW7. By the mid 1970's, the car was based in the London Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. The next known owner was Hugh Smith who lived in Scotland and purchased the car in 1978. This S1 was the subject to recent re-paint but still requires restoration work carried out, the brakes require an overhaul, the steering box has a fault which means it requires replacement and it is currently on the wrong size tyres the rest of the restoration required is cosmetic but it appears to be structurally sound with the only rust problems located to the off side front wing. Finished in two tone green with the original green leather interior this Bentley S1 is supplied with a registration document, an original buff log book, a blue V5 registration document and the original handbook. A very good restoration project with a good engine and gearbox which starts well with no known faults. An ideal example for simple mechanical restoration for use next year at rallies and shows. ?

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster ***WITHDRAWN***

Lot # 252 (Sale Order: 52 of 153)      

***WITHDRAWN*** Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new Mercedes-Benz R129-series SL range was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated, all-round independent suspension was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second if the car ever sensed an impending flip. Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin included a fully automated power hood and featured such advancements as memory seats, electric windows/mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated sports car. This Mercedes-Benz roadster is finished in champagne with matching tan leather interior and has been well cared for with 19 stamps in the service book. Described by the vendor as driving with no known faults, these exceedingly well built Mercedes-Benz offer superb value for money given the eye watering cost when new. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, the original service book and an MoT test certificate valid until 30th March 2017. Offered at no reserve, this car could well prove to be a bargain. ?

Ford Capri ‘2.8 Injection’

Lot # 253 (Sale Order: 53 of 153)      

The Ford Capri was the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be; just like the Mustang. The Capri was, in fact, a far more varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to 3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The Capri was released to the press on 24th January 1969 at the Brussels Motor Show and caused a sensation. For the 1982 model year, a new sporty version debuted at the Geneva Motor Show called the 2.8 Injection. Power rose to a claimed 160PS giving a top speed of 130mph. The Capri 2.8 Injection breathed new life into the range with the four-speed gearbox replaced with a five-speed unit early on and at the same, in 1984, upgrading to the Capri Injection 'Special' using half leather seating and a limited slip differential. Externally, the car could be easily distinguished by seven spoke RS wheels and colour-coded grille and headlamp surrounds. This superb example must represent one of the best available; the bodywork has been completely dismantled with new front wings and a full respray. The interior is as new with new leather to the original Recaro seats, new radio and the original rear parcel shelf.  Under the bonnet, the gearbox, axle, propshaft and power-steering have been rebuilt with the engine tuned to give an additional 20% more power. Fully balanced fast-road camshafts have been added and to handle the upgrade, all the suspension and steering have been re-bushed with new brakes, radiator, wheels and tyres.  With just 600 miles covered since these extensive works, the condition is understandably excellent in every respect.

Morris Mini Cooper (Recreation Racer)

Lot # 254 (Sale Order: 54 of 153)      

Designed by Alex Issigonis in 1959, a new concept in car design was born.  With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini', as it was commonly known, soon became popular across a broad spectrum of the population.  The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper and although Alex Issigonis was less keen, BMC were finally persuaded by John Cooper and the two worked together in culminating the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. The S had a 1071cc engine with a strengthened bottom end to allow for further tuning. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from their (somewhat unfair) disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.   This Morris Mini Cooper was manufactured in 1963 but was not registered in the UK until 1965; the first owner, an army officer exported the car during his posting to Germany. This Mini started as a standard 850cc Mk. I but the previous owners, who purchased the Mini 40 years ago, converted the car to 997cc Cooper specification using the mechanics and interior from a doner car. As was common in the 1970's, the car was used to go to work during the week and the odd sprint and hill-climb at the weekends - with considerable success. Over the years, there have been a number of reincarnations, the last in 1987 when a Cooper S, 1293cc engine was fitted to compete in the ACSMC race series. The specification is as follows: - a 1293cc engine with a Bryan Slark cylinder head, high performance camshaft, EN40B balanced crankshaft, 45 DCOE Weber carburettor, three into one maniflow exhaust system, straight cut/close ratio gearbox, straight cut gear limited slip differential, 3.9 ratio, fully adjustable rose jointed suspension, period Dunlop alloy wheels, GazGaz adjustable shock absorbers all round and KAD four-pot brake callipers. This Mini has always been very competitive, often beating original Cooper S's and has proved to be utterly reliable. To develop or build a car to this specification would cost well in excess of the estimate and this car has proven itself on a number of occasions including being raced at Goodwood. Supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in March 2017, this is a car ready to use either on the road, track or hill climb. ?

Jaguar Mk. II Saloon

Lot # 255 (Sale Order: 55 of 153)      

The lineage of the Mk. II can be directly traced back to its predecessor, the 2.4 saloon or Mk. I as it would be retrospectively known in later years. Traditional Jaguar buyers would not feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry as the interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut being the order of the day. With 112bhp available, the 2.4 was not overly burdened with pace, so Jaguar's response was to come in the shape of a 3.4 litre version which was launched in 1957.  As a result, 120mph was a genuinely achievable pace, necessitating the introduction of disc brakes a year later to keep speeds in check. Rather than introduce a completely brand new car, Jaguar successfully re-designed the car from stem to stern, and the Mk. II was born, debuting in 1959. The chunky windscreen pillars of the early car were replaced by slimmer offerings giving a much more airy cabin which both improved the styling and freshened up the design for the new decade. This Jaguar Mk. II was originally supplied by Henlys in London and immediately shipped to South Africa where she stayed until 1996. The late vendor purchased the car in November 1996 and has lovingly cherished her throughout his 20 years of ownership. The black coachwork is in very good order as is the chromework and red interior. The engine started immediately when requested and maintained a healthy oil pressure. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a current MoT test certificate and a history folder; this 3.4 Mk. II is fitted with a manual gearbox with overdrive unit, resulting in a sporty, interesting car to drive. A very well cared for example, with style and comfort in abundance; it is remarkable to think this car is 50 years old.

Humber Hawk Mk. IVa Police Car

Lot # 256 (Sale Order: 56 of 153)      

Classic Police cars have proved an enormous collectable over recent years with some record-breaking prices achieved by this auction house for detailed Daimler Darts and other similar cars. The force have always had eclectic tastes when it came to their purchasing decisions from the humble Mini and Morris Minor through to the Rover 3500 in my day and right up to the modern BMWs and Land Rover Discoveries. The example offered here is one of the Humber series of cars, not the base model as you might presume but the top of the range Mk. IVa with the overhead-valve, 2,267cc engine and coupled to the existing four-speed column-change gearbox which now could be ordered with Laycock overdrive. The last of the separate-chassis Hawks was the Mk. VIa, which featured 'deluxe' paintwork and trim.  This overdrive-equipped Hawk VIa comes complete with removable front/rear 'Police' plates and working Winkworth bell. Originally used by just two enthusiastic owners, the car was exhibited in the Yorkshire Car Exhibition and then passed to established Rolls-Royce collector, Mile Berry, from 1983 right up to his death in 2011. For the last five years, it has formed part of a private collection in Hertfordshire. Used regularly at the Goodwood Revival, this tribute to the 'Boys in Blue' is described by the vendor as being in excellent condition and is complemented by all the correct Police equipment required for film/television work or simply enjoying the feel of a period Police car; right down to handcuffs, hat, whistle and the registration mark 'BUF 999'. Supplied with a comprehensive history file including a full 12 month MoT test certificate and many sundry service records, this charming window into 1950's law enforcement is in good order throughout and will always draw a bigger crowd than any modern supercar.

Alfa Romeo 1600 GT Junior

Lot # 257 (Sale Order: 57 of 153)      

The Alfa Romeo 1600GT Junior was introduced in 1972 to plug the gap between the GT1300 Junior and the larger-engined 2000 GTV. In the UK righthand drive market, the 1300GT Junior was dropped but in many other markets, the two models were available as a range. The engine was substantially the same as that of the Giulia Sprint GTV discontinued four years previously and had the same engine type number. The final drive ratio was again 9/41 as standard on all 105 Series coupés with the 1290cc and 1570cc engine. From 1974 on, the 1300GT Junior and 1600GT Junior were rationalised into a common range of models with the 2000 GTV and were rebadged as 1.3 GT Junior and 1.6 GT Junior, sharing most of the interior and exterior features with the larger-engined car. The only exterior differences were no bumper over-riders, lack of C-pillar green serpent badges, small rear light clusters same as pre-'74 Juniors and GT1300 Junior or GT1600 Junior badge on the boot. Apart from the engine size, the only mechanical differences were: smaller front brakes, as the Juniors had not adopted the larger units fitted to the 1750 GTV and 2000 GTV and from 1968 on, differential ratios.   Built 26th October 1972, this exquisite first series, original righthand drive 1600GT Junior is a three owner car delivered new to Cyprus in the extremely rare indigo grey colour that it wears today with black Tex interior. The dry climate of Cyprus has treated this little Alfa well, the result of which is an Alfa Romeo that, as unbelievable as it may seem, we are assured is almost entirely original - with only minimal signs of welding in the passenger footwell and spare wheel well. When purchased by its second owner in 2011, the car was subject to a sympathetic restoration. As a result, the car benefits from having had a complete respray, along with the interior recovered and headlining replaced, to retain the overall superb quality of the car. The brightwork was replaced and the mechanicals also received an overhaul with the engine receiving new piston rings and big end bearings. Imported about three years ago to the UK, this rare 1600GT has been in a private collection since, all taxes and duties have been paid and it will have UK registration and MoT test certificate by the time of the sale. This is an opportunity to purchase a rare rust free, righthand drive 1600 Junior which is ready to be used and enjoyed.?

Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda

Lot # 258 (Sale Order: 58 of 153)      

The Mercedes-Benz W 113 is a two-seat roadster/coupé, introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show and produced from 1963 through to 1971. It replaced both the legendary 300 SL (W 198) and the 190 SL (W 121). The W 113 SL was developed under the auspices of Mercedes-Benz Technical Director Fritz Nallinger, Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut and Head of Styling Friedrich Geiger. The lead designers devised its distinctive, patented, slightly concave hardtop which inspired the 'Pagoda' nickname. All models were equipped with an inline-six cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection. The bonnet, boot lid, door skins and tonneau cover were made of aluminium to reduce weight. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful brakes and radial tyres gave the W 113 superb handling for its time. The styling of the front, with its characteristic upright Bosch headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel, paid homage to the then already legendary 300 SL roadster. Although often overshadowed by the 280 SL, the 2.3 litre engine runs on four crankshaft main bearings instead of seven. This beautiful Mercedes-Benz soft-top was subject to a restoration in the mid 90's which included changing the colour from cream to red and an engine change to the more powerful 280. Coupled with the automatic gearbox, it is the perfect foil for touring or just enjoying the free revving engine. Offered with numerous invoices for maintenance and parts and a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate valid until July 2017, this example is aching to be driven and enjoyed. With its distinctive red coachwork, why not stand out? After all you are driving an iconic Pagoda. * Please note contrary to earlier descriptions this Pagoda has the more powerful 280 engine which was transplanted during its earlier restoration.

Aston Martin DB9

Lot # 259 (Sale Order: 59 of 153)      

The DB9 was the star of the 2003 Frankfurt Motor show where it was unveiled to the public for the very first time. The sleek superformed aluminium body was initially designed by Ian Callum but had also been significantly influenced by the next director of AM design, Hendrik Fisker. The DB9 was powered by a third generation version of the now familiar 6.0 litre V12 and has a top speed of 186mph. It was the first of what was to become a long line of production Aston Martins to use VH architecture; using Superformed parts in the chassis and footwell as well as the body panels. The individual die-cast, extruded or stamped aluminium elements of the VH platform are bonded with strong adhesives and self-piercing rivets to make a lightweight but stiff backbone. The DB9 body shell weighed 25% less than that of the DB7 but has double its torsional rigidity. This process also allowed Aston Martin to retain high levels of engineering accuracy in producing a car at a higher volume ensuring chassis performance to match the engine power. Aston Martins have always made the interior of their cars to be very special places. Beautifully tailored with the finest of materials, the DB9 uses Bridge of Weir leather, aluminium and wood. The use of wood in the interior was different from previous Aston Martins, with customers offered a choice of walnut, mahogany or bamboo. This DB9 was first registered on 24th March 2005 and is offered in Grigio Titanio silver with Obsidian leather interior trim, this is a splendid example of a magnificent car. It has had new brake disks, pads, handbrake cable and a brake fluid change in August 2015 and boasts a comprehensive service file with its last oil and filter service in December 2015 whilst in the ownership with its current owner and former Aston Martin employee. The V12 engine starts immediately upon request and sounds superb; the vendor confirms there are no known faults with the car. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until July 2017, Aston Martin DB9's are superb to look at and even better to drive. This one is no exception.

Citroën DS23 Pallas

Lot # 260 (Sale Order: 60 of 153)      

After 18 years of secret development, the DS19 was introduced on 5 October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken and orders for the first day totalled 12,000 cars. To a France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, and also building its identity in the post-colonial world, the DS motorcar was a symbol of French ingenuity.The DS was the first mass production car with front power disc brakes. It also featured hydropneumatic suspension including an automatic leveling system, variable ground clearance, power steering and a semi-automatic transmission and a fibreglass roof which reduced weight. It also sported inboard front brakes as well as independent suspension. Despite the rather leisurely acceleration afforded by its four-cylinder engine, the DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount, and won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1959 and controversially in 1966, after the disqualification of the BMC Mini-Cooper team. The Citroën DS placed fifth on Automobile Magazine's '100 Coolest Cars' listing in 2005. It was also named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine after a poll of 20 world-renowned car designers. In 1965, a luxury upgrade the DS Pallas, named after the Greek goddess Pallas, was introduced. This included comfort features such as better noise insulation, a more luxurious and optional leather, upholstery and external trim embellishments. This fine DS23 Pallas is a righthand drive example and the owner understands that this car was originally owned by the chairman of the Citroën club for over 20 years. The previous owner bought it from him and kept it for a further 20 years and has resided with the current owner since last year. In the last year, a new maroon leather interior has been fitted and the mechanics renovated. The car boasts a five- speed manual gearbox giving a sporty feel and is finished in white. Supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until April 2017, the car is showing just 72,500km. Described as being 8/10 in regards to the engine, body, chassis, paintwork and transmission; this fine example with low long term ownership history should definitely be on the list for any discerning collector.

Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-Spec

Lot # 261 (Sale Order: 61 of 153)      

The first GT-Rs were produced from 1969 to 1973. After a 16-year hiatus, the GT-R name was revived in 1989 with the Skyline R32; this car was nicknamed "Godzilla" by the Australian motoring publication 'Wheels' in its July 1989 edition. Few cars have built up quite such a mantle of invincibility as Nissan's Skyline GT-R. Founded on saloon car racing dominance, almost implausible lap times of the Nürburgring and an underground following that translated into unquenchable public demand here in the UK, the Skyline has created its own legends. Although the torch is now carried by the R35 GT-R, a car that has dispensed with the Skyline badge, the last of the Skyline GT-R models, the R34, remains the definitive Playstation generation car. The V·spec version was imported into the UK with a number of modifications carried out on the car; these included three additional oil coolers, revised ECU map, full Connolly leather interior, underbody diffusers, stiffer suspension, active rear limited slip differential and extra display feature on the in car display. Originally registered in November 2000 and in the most desirable Bayside blue, this example is among the best we have seen. It benefits from a comprehensive history from its original home in Japan and a service from Torque GT since its UK registration followed by further inspections by Abbey Motorsport. A facelift model offering a staggering array of standard options with no engine modifications, this largely standard Nissan comes with a few sympathetic and complementary upgrades such as a NISMO aero upgrade, rare 18" Volks alloys, Carbon risers and Ohlins coilover suspension. Finding unmolested examples of the ever popular R34 is becoming extremely difficult and, having been imported by renowned and trusted Torque GT, this represents a car that can genuinely be considered a collector's example. A blisteringly fast car to drive with its twin turbo engine coupled to four wheel drive technology; not much can test the V-Spec for pace and the look never fails to stop traffic. Offered with an MoT test certificate valid until December 2016, import documentation, UK and Japanese history, receipts and the important alarm and tracker documentation, this R-34 Godzilla is sure to be popular with all ages and collectors. *Interested parties should note that the private registration plate with this car is to be retained by the vendor and a new one issued

Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II

Lot # 262 (Sale Order: 62 of 153)      

The Spitfire was an inexpensive small sports car and as such had rather basic trim by today's standards, including rubber mats and a large plastic steering wheel. It was nonetheless considered fairly comfortable by period standards as it had roll-down windows and exterior door locks as well as a relatively full instrumentation. These early cars were referred to both as 'Triumph Spitfire Mk. I' and 'Spitfire 4', not to be confused with the later Spitfire Mk IV. The 'Spitfire 4' name indicated the possibility of the later appearance of a six-cylinder version. In UK specification, the in-line four produced 63bhp at 5750rpm. This gave a top speed of 92mph and would achieve 0 to 60mph in 16.4 seconds. Average fuel consumption was 31mpg. In March 1965, the Spitfire Mk. II was launched. It was very similar to the Mk. I but featured a more highly tuned engine, through a revised camshaft design, a water-cooled intake manifold and tubular exhaust manifold, increasing the power to 67bhp at 6000rpm. The coil-spring design clutch of the Mk. I was replaced with a Borg and Beck diaphragm spring clutch. The exterior trim was modified with a new grille and badges. The interior trim was improved with redesigned seats and by covering most of the exposed surfaces with rubber cloth. The original moulded rubber floor coverings were replaced with moulded carpets. It was introduced at a base price of £550, compared to the Sprite's £505 and the Midget's £515. Top speed was claimed to be 96mph and its 0-60 mph time of 14.8 seconds was considered lively.   This national prize winning 1966 Triumph Spitfire Four Mk. II with overdrive was subject to a complete nut and bolt, chassis up restoration in 1998. It changed hands in 2001 and in 2006 the new owner took it to renowned Triumph Specialists Jigsaw of Kettering and invested a further £5,000 on a mechanical rebuild including: a rebuild of the original engine to stage two fast-road specification running on unleaded fuel giving 75bhp, the gearbox with D-type overdrive rebuilt, rear differential, fitted stainless steel sports exhaust and the suspension polybushed; it has only covered 2,000 miles since. Finished in green with matching hard top, black interior and Moto Lita steering wheel, this stunning car comes with many prize-winning trophies for shows attended. This Spitfire is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate, a Heritage certificate, seven books of pictures of the rebuild and two large box files of invoices. This is one of the best early Spitfires ever to come to market and a perfect investment opportunity. ?

MG C Roadster

Lot # 263 (Sale Order: 63 of 153)      

The MGC was a version of the MGB fitted with a 2912cc straight six engine. Manufactured between 1967 and August 1969, the car was intended as a replacement for the Austin Healey 3000. The engines produced 145bhp and were fitted with twin SU carburettors. The body shell was revised around the engine bay and to the floor pan but externally the only differences between the MGB and the MGC were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a discreet teardrop to allow clearances for the carburettors. This MGC, originally registered on 1st January 1984, has recently been restored by a very enthusiastic and competent engineer. The car was completely stripped and bodywork was taken back to bare metal, any corroded areas were cut out and re-fabricated including new footwells, inner and outer sills and rear spring hangers. The car was repainted in British Racing Green and re-trimmed in black leather piped in green with green carpets. Mechanically, this MG has been very well taken care of; the cylinder head has been gas-flowed and the flywheel has been lightened by 30%. The engine block was thoroughly flushed out, new brakes fitted, new king-pins, new clutch; in fact the vendor left no stone unturned in re-building this MGC. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a number of bills/receipts and a full years' MoT test certificate; this car is ready to use and enjoy immediately.?

Morgan 4/4 Sports

Lot # 264 (Sale Order: 64 of 153)      

The Morgan Motor Company was, until recently, a famously family-owned company founded in 1910 by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan in Malvern, Worcestershire. The early cars were two-seat or four-seat three-wheelers with four-wheelers coming later in 1936; the first being the 4/4, four wheels and four cylinders. The Morgan +4 was introduced in 1950 as a larger-engined car and used the 2088cc Standard Vanguard engine. Much cherished, this gleaming example of the Malvern's classic 1960's 4/4 benefits from a full and comprehensive restoration just last year. Every single part has been taken of the chassis and both the body and Ash frame have been stripped and sandblasted with this current new lustrous red paintwork applied. The exhaust system is a new stainless steel unit and the original Ford 1,172cc engine has been cleaned and reliably renovated. The electrical system is new as is the braking system, including the servos and we are informed that the manual gearbox operates very well. Internally, the upholstery is hard to fault as it has been comprehensively replaced; likewise with the tonneau and convertible roof. Fully UK registered, this must represent one of the finest and best value early Morgans available today.

Jaguar Mk. II Saloon (3.8 Litre)

Lot # 265 (Sale Order: 65 of 153)      

The Jaguar Mk. II is a medium sized saloon car built between 1959 and 1967 in Coventry as successors to the Jaguar 2.4 litre and 3.4 litre models manufactured between 1957 and 1959. These retrospectively became known as the Jaguar Mk. I following the release of the Mk. II in 1959. Adhering to Sir William Lyons' maxim of "grace, pace and space", the Jaguar Mk. II was a beautiful, fast and capable saloon. It also gained a reputation as a capable car among criminals and law enforcement alike; the 3.8 litre model being particularly fast with its 220bhp engine giving a standing start of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and to a top speed of 125mph. With enough room for five adults, they were also employed by the Police to patrol British motorways. Presented in metallic light blue with blue leather trim, this lovely and collectable Mk. II was factory supplied manual with overdrive gearbox and considered the most sought after of the Mk. II saloons. First registered to a Mr. Abrahams in Devizes on the 11th October 1962, the car didn't leave Wiltshire until Mr. Abraham sold the car in 2012. Although it appears it may have changed hands between friends or family in Wiltshire during its early life. Mr Abraham decided, in 2003, to fully restore the vehicle having spent much of the 90's laid up in a barn. The works, as documented in the photos, were extensive and culminated in an engine and gearbox rebuild followed by a bare metal re-spray. Today the underside of the car is still in excellent order thanks to the decision to underseal the car during restoration, the interior, apart from a new headlining, was left completely original and now show a lovely patina but is bordering on the need for a re-trim however this would be down to the taste of the new owner. Recently the car was purchased by our vendor and taken to France where it has been used sparingly covering less than 600 miles since restoration and in late 2015, had the brakes overhauled at an expense of £2,000. Offered with the original buff log book alongside the V5 registration documents, Jaguar Heritage certificate, original service handbook and a history file containing much of the invoices from the restoration in 2004 until today and a new MoT test certificate, this is a great opportunity to purchase a very fine example of Jaguar's Mk. II complete with a 3.8 litre engine and manual (with overdrive) gearbox.?

Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione

Lot # 266 (Sale Order: 66 of 153)      

The Alfa Romeo 75 was produced between 1985 and 1992 and named to celebrate Alfa's 75th year of production. The 75 was commercially quite successful by the end of production in 1992, around 386,767 had been built and was the last model released before Alfa Romeo was acquired by Fiat. 500 examples of the Turbo Evoluzione were produced in spring 1987 to meet Group A requirements. Alfa Romeo and its racing department Alfa Corse raced the 75 Turbo Group A in the World Touring Car Championship in 1987 season. There were six official entries, two run directly by Alfa Corse. Team drivers included Formula One drivers such as Nicola Larini, Gabriele Tarquini, Alessandro Nannini, Jacques Laffite and Mario Andretti as well as World Sports car champion Jean-Louis Schlesser. The road car had many modifications compared to the normal turbo model. The engine was down-sleeved to 1,762cc (normally 1,779cc) and while the claimed power is the same as in the standard turbo, this engine is better suited for power upgrades than the standard 75 Turbo engine. Rumoured to be an ex-Alfa Corse car, this stunning example of the 75 Turbo Evoluzione was originally imported from Italy. Having covered just 46,000 Kilometres, this correctly presented 1987 car has been commented on by renowned Alfa Romeo specialist Alex Jupe Motorsport as one of the very best in existence. Not surprisingly, given its low mileage, the Alfa red coach work is un-faded and shows good depth of colour with the grey interior trim in excellent order. A well know car in AROC circles, this example was featured in Classic and Sports car in 2014. A comprehensive history file accompanies the 75 and the owner admits being an Alfista to having a heavy heart by letting the car find a new home.?

Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda

Lot # 267 (Sale Order: 67 of 153)      

The Mercedes-Benz W113 SL was developed under the auspices of Mercedes-Benz Technical Director Fritz Nallinger, Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut and Head of Styling, Friedrich Geiger. The lead designers were Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi who created its distinctive, patented, slightly concave hardtop which inspired the 'Pagoda' nickname. The model was manufactured from 1963 through to 1971 and boasted an in-line straight six engine with multi-port fuel injection. The larger capacity 280 (2.8 litre) was introduced in 1967 and remained largely unchanged until 1971 and represents the most desirable of all the SL range, producing, as it does, more power with an improved five bearing crankshaft. This Mercedes-Benz has recently been imported from the U.S. and presents in very good order. The 2.8 litre engine runs well and is mated to a manual gearbox making this a delight to drive. The red metallic paintwork is in good order as is the tan interior. Not currently registered in the UK although all the paperwork such as the NOVA is present and correct should you wish to do so. Very attractively estimated given the buoyant market for these bigger engine Pagoda's.?

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II

Lot # 268 (Sale Order: 68 of 153)      

The Silver Cloud II was introduced in 1959 replacing the Silver Cloud I. Little changed externally but it now had a 6.2 litre, V8 engine which pushed the weight to 2.11 tonnes. Performance, however, was greatly improved and top speed was now raised to 114mph. The main improvements though were in acceleration and torque. Power steering became standard and electrically operated windows were now available as an option. The basic architecture of the Silver Cloud II did not change between 1959 and 1963 but there were numerous minor changes implemented, notable among them a succession of improvements to the ventilation system. Interior changes in 1961 included the adoption of blue instrument lighting, the introduction of a combined indicator/headlamp flasher switch and of a handbrake warming light. Presented in Tudor Silver and Shell Grey with St. James' Red Connolly hide, this Rolls-Royce represents the establishment of the early 1960's period with sympathetic restoration works having been carried out to thorough standards. The coachwork is in superb condition with excellent panel fit; chrome bodywork parts have been partially re-plated and bumpers totally restored, a new front windscreen allows a clear view ahead. The engine is in fine order with the carburettors and top end ancillaries refurbished by a period Rolls-Royce Engineer; the engine bay is nicely detailed. The four road wheels are fitted with recent tyres, the hub caps are coach-lined, as the swage line of the coachwork, in contrasting red. The interior headlining has been replaced to original specification in wool cloth by a Rolls-Royce coach trimmer. The walnut wood capping and dashboard were totally restored by Silvercrest, worldly renowned for the quality of their work and the rear seat door panels have a lovely patina. This Rolls-Royce has had a recent MoT test certificate and is registered as a Historic Motor Car with the DVLA, it is therefore exempt from annual road fund licence. With a lovely colour combination and looked after by many recognised specialists and professionals, this example starts on the buttons and oozes confidence.?

Aston Martin DB7 Volante

Lot # 269 (Sale Order: 69 of 153)      

Introduced in 1993 to the public, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin's first six cylinder model since production of the DBS had finished in 1971. Styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen. Arguably one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the DB7 was well received and attracted new customers worldwide with its traditional layout of the curvaceous two-door coupé body and powerful six-cylinder engine. Power was supplied by an all alloy double overhead camshaft supercharged 24 valve, inline six-cylinder engine which produced 335bhp@5750rpm. Regarded by many as the purist modern-day Aston Martin, the DB7 will undoubtedly become increasingly collectable in years to come. This elegant example was first registered on the 28th April, 1997 to its first and current keeper. Unusual in that it is showing only 13,800 miles and is due to the fact that the car was used by its owner only when visiting London. A recent vehicle history report from Stratstone Aston Martin shows the car's history with a service carried out on 21st August 1997 with 712 miles recorded. The car returned to Stratstone for various items including on 6th August 1998 deglazing of the brake discs and general check over as well as various parts over the years including a new battery, reconnection of boot linkages and various small service items. More importantly, combined with the MoT history the mileage is consistent throughout its life, showing 9,418 miles in 2004 and the MoT test history picking up the mileage in 2006 with 11,046 miles recorded.  Recently a full service at Grange Aston Martin was carried out on January 16th 2016 totalling £2,900 with further recent expenditure on the 2nd April 2015 at ex-RS Williams employee Excalibur Engineering totalling £4,814 and on the 24th October 2014, £6,350 was spent at Wren Restorations with a further £483 at Aston specialist Nicholas Mee on the 10th June 2014. Presented in the rare Highland Purple with a contrasting cream leather interior piped in matching purple the driving experience is thoroughly enjoyable; indeed the combination of the six-cylinder engine mated to the automatic gearbox means that running costs are kept low and ease of use is maximised. The convertible top works well and a soft garage cover is included. The DB7 Volante is now a collectable and eminently useable classic car with values that are certainly beginning to rise. In terms of investment alone, now is the time to buy.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster

Lot # 270 (Sale Order: 70 of 153)      

Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new Mercedes-Benz R129-series SL range was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated, all-round independent suspension was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second if the car ever sensed an impending flip. Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin included a fully automated power hood and featured such advancements as memory seats, electric windows/mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated sports car. This lovely example in great condition is presented in Almandine red with cream leather trim and has covered just 87,500 miles from new. The car has been garaged predominantly its entire life and benefits from ice cold air conditioning for those humid summer days with the roof down. Supplied with a hardtop and hood which was replaced in 2007, this Roadster also comes from a fantastic history file. Within the file is a comprehensive full service history which the owner has kindly detailed in date order and shows a nonstop care of ownership from new right up to a recent reconditioned gearbox and service in March of this year with Slough Motor Works. The instrument cluster was changed in 2005 from analogue to digital by Mercedes-Benz due to electrical issue. Receipt to prove the change is within the history file as well as all the details to prove the current mileage to be correct. The current MoT test certificate is valid until December and is accompanied by old MoT certificates. A lovely example of this appreciating and very usable modern classic, it is offered at no reserve.?

Leyland Mini GT Clubman (1275cc)

Lot # 271 (Sale Order: 71 of 153)      

The original Mini is considered a British icon of the 1960s with its space-saving, front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage; it was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T. The distinctive, two-door vehicle was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants. The Mini Mk. I had three major UK updates; the Mk. II, the Clubman and the Mk. III. Within these were a series of variations including an estate car, a pick-up and a van. This rare and immaculate 1275 GT Clubman has the benefit of just three owners from new and has covered a mere 31,000 miles. Almost all MoT test certificates are present, as is the original bill of sale alongside a copy of the Mini World Magazine where it was featured in November 1999. As stated in this article, not a single panel has been replaced; it has since had a small amount of cosmetic work done namely paint and also Spax and electronic ignition fitted. It is still a fantastically original example today. Three of the four original run flat tyres and the bar were removed and come with the sale of the car. The 1275 GT took over from the Cooper S at the top of the range and even today, it's a swift little car. It drove impeccably in the recent London to Brighton Mini run and the vendor, who calls it his pride and joy, indicates it has never skipped a beat in his ownership. The history file is comprehensive with full service history, invoices and bills throughout its life. This car is offered at no reserve; one of the best Minis we have ever come across and with provenance to match, it is sure to be a collector's delight.?

Triumph Roadster (1800cc)

Lot # 272 (Sale Order: 72 of 153)      

The Triumph Roadster was the first vehicle made post-war by the Standard Motor Company after their acquisition of the respected Triumph name. It was manufactured between 1946 and 1949 and its design went back to the classic tourers of the 1930's, even to the extent of featuring the 'dickey-seats', whereby two extra passengers could sit on seats in the boot whilst still remaining comfy on their own seats and protected by their own windscreen. Though not a sports car, the Triumph was acceptably fast in its day managing a top speed of around 80 miles per hour and gained its notoriety as the daily transport for 'John Nettles', the Jersey based detective in the 'Bergerac' television series. Most of the bodywork is clad in an aluminium alloy that was originally produced for aircraft construction in the Second World War, over an ash frame. The front wings are manufactured from steel which was in short supply in those days. At the end of its production run, over 4000 of these cars were built but it is estimated that only around 180 survive on the road today with others surviving in various states of repair. In 2015, this voluptuous roadster underwent a full body renovation with its aluminium and steel panels sandblasted and the ash frame renovated before painting began. All the brightwork has been re-chromed and the engine, the same 'Standard' unit as Jaguar's SS sportscars albeit with a different compression ratio and carburettors, has been cleaned and renovated. The electrical system is new and the manual gearbox is reported to operate perfectly. A brand-new soft-top has been fitted and the interior upholstery has also been replaced. The vendor is delighted with the work carried out on this car and describes it as between 9/10 and 10/10 in all respects. Fully UK registered, these Triumph Roadsters are rare to see on Britain's roads these days and it is heartening to see such a good example back on these shores.

Porsche 911 Turbo 330

Lot # 274 (Sale Order: 73 of 153)      

Porsche began experimenting with turbo-charging technology on their racing cars during the late 1960s and in 1972 began development on a turbocharged version of the 911. Porsche originally needed to produce the car in order to comply with homologation regulations and had intended on marketing it as a street legal race vehicle like the 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS. Martini,, on the other hand, the iconic drinks company sponsored motorsport since 1968 and supported Porsche's 917 racing team in the early 1970's culminating in the inevitable link up with Porsche road cars during the 1970's. In an interview with Philip Raby in a 911 & Porsche World article on the Martini Turbo 2004, he recalls: "The driving experience is to be savoured, 911 Turbos are not about being civilised. As soon as it's clear, I floor the throttle and wait, and wait, and wait. You need a calendar to measure the turbo lag in this car, [but] once the single KKK turbocharger finally kicks in, the car flies urgently forward, propelled by the full might of the 300bhp engine behind my back". Delivered new in March 1979 by Gordon Ramsay Ltd of Newcastle upon Tyne, this 911 Turbo is presented in very good order throughout and showing a genuine 75,000 miles from new, the vendor states that the car performs fantastically and it is still a challenge to drive and remain within the legal limits. The engine shows signs of tweaking with performance improvement, particularly in light of the visible stainless steel enlarged dual tail pipes and the seats and interior are in very good order. The important thing is that the overall condition, feel and experience of the car are incredible and we personally rate these 3.3 litre Turbos very highly indeed. The history file shows a service record for this car that includes 11 stamps with the most recent in July 2013 at Purely-9, independent Porsche specialists of Surrey. It is accompanied by a number of past tax discs and a near full complement of MoT test certificates from 1986 to the present day with only a period of four years between 1998 and 2002 missing when the car was registered 'off-road'. The most recent ownership shows that the car has largely remained amongst collections and though has been regularly warmed to temperature, little exercised. That said, the car is kept in very good condition and is offered with a new MoT test certificate valid until July 2017 and has recently been serviced. If Porsche had produced an actual limited-edition 911 Turbo with Martini livery, there'd be a record of the number made, but because the Martini stripes were only an option (M42, for those in the know) then no one truly knows exactly how many cars were factory equipped with them, This example we believe has been recreated to Martini spec and is not one of the originals however research suggests that around 24 right hand drive Turbos were produced in 1979 and the car here today is believed to be one of them.

Jensen Interceptor Mk. I

Lot # 275 (Sale Order: 74 of 153)      

The Jensen Interceptor is a sporting GT-class car. Interceptors were hand-built at the Kelvin Way Factory, West Bromwich between 1966 and 1976. The Interceptor name had been used previously by Jensen for the Interceptor made between 1950 and 1957 at the Carters Green factory. Jensen had extensively used glass-reinforced plastic for the fabrication of body panels in the preceding two decades, but the new Interceptor saw a return to a steel body-shell originally designed by an outside firm, Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, rather than the in-house staff. The early bodies were built in Italy by Vignale before Jensen took production in house; this stunning new car was built from steel but retained a similar chassis to the CV8. It also shared the same Chrysler 383 cubic inch (6,276cc) V8 engine and Torqueflite automatic transmission. The '67 Interceptor rocketed Jensen into international recognition with stars of stage and screen. This fantastically presented Jensen Interceptor Mk. I has been subject to an extensive restoration taking some 13.5 months. Michael Ware Restorers of Brooke, Norfolk, completed this long restoration eight weeks ago and the vehicle is now every bit as good as when it rolled off the production line in 1969. Finished in Gun Metal grey, it has been the subject of a bare metal respray with new Oxblood vinyl roof, new Oxblood full leather and new carpets trimmed in Oxblood to match. A new headlining completes the cosmetic aspect whilst mechanically, rebuilt callipers, ball joint and refurbished wheels compliment the car. The engine and gearbox have had a full service with carburettors rebuilt, setup and tuned. This stunning example also benefits from a new braking system and the fuel tank and system have been completely cleaned. Much of the electrical system has been serviced, replaced or rewired and a good quality 1960's reproduction radio, which is FM and Bluetooth compatible, can be found on the dashboard. The history file includes many invoices from 2010-2011 and a detailed invoice from the 2016 restoration.  We are informed it drives superbly and would be a credit to any collector or enthusiast.?

Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Fixedhead Coupé

Lot # 276 (Sale Order: 75 of 153)      

The Jaguar E-Type was ten years old and needed a new lease of life. History repeated itself and it was a huge success when Jaguar debuted its robust V12 engine in a sports car instead of the saloon for which it was designed. Despite its sports-car heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed the twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that "all we expected to try was a new engine, but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine, but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car". This handsome righthand drive E-Type is finished in silver with a black hide interior and sits on chrome wire wheels; it offers the extra practicality of the 2+2 configuration. The vendor describes the interior as being 10/10 while the body, chassis and paintwork as 9/10. The car was maintained by well known Jaguar specialist Joe's Garage in Furulund, Sweden; bills from which are enclosed in the car's history file which details work on essential items such as the electrical, oil and air intake systems as well as the gearbox and exhaust. The brake lines are all copper and many other items are detailed in the file of bills.  With only 42,000km showing and with V12 E-Types enjoying a well-deserved recent surge in popularity, this is a very a usable and practical example and a great investment opportunity.
