Neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for delay in performing or for failure to perform their obligations under these Terms and Conditions if they are prevented from, or delayed in, carrying on their business by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond their reasonable control. If any term or any part of any term of these Terms and Conditions is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such unenforceability or invalidity will not affect the enforceability and validity of the remaining terms or the remainder of the relevant term. No person who is not a party to these Terms And Conditions shall have any right to enforce any term under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Auctioneer shall be entitled to enforce any term of these Terms and Conditions that confer a benefit on it.

MG A Roadster, Mk. II (1600cc)

Lot # 277 (Sale Order: 76 of 153)

Make: MGYear: 1962Mileage: 26,431VIN: GHN2102782Registration: 144 XPJTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 16000 - 20000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

When the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. It was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. It was powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced a much more modern B-series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette saloon. The 'A' was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car and was replaced by the MGB in May 1962. This is a genuine, UK, righthand drive example and was originally registered on 3rd May 1962. Sadly being sold as part of a deceased estate, the car had been owned by the last registered keeper since 1995 and it is thought there are only four former keepers of this delightfully handsome example. There is a comprehensive history folder accompanying 144 XPJ latterly by respected specialist Simon Robinson of Darlington, confirming an engine rebuild and body restoration. Having been used lightly but regularly and stored in a dry warm environment, this MGA is in fully useable condition and appears to have no known faults. The late vendor certainly spared no expense on his modest but high quality car collection. Finished in light blue with black trim, this MGA is supplied with a V5C registration document.

MG B Roadster

Lot # 278 (Sale Order: 77 of 153)

Make: MGModel: B RoadsterYear: 1963Mileage: 6,000VIN: GHN325609Registration: YYJ 345Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 19000 - 24000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Conceived in the late 1950s and launched in 1962, the MGB would turn out to be one of the most successful sports cars of all time. Attractively styled, cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the 'B' carried on MG's traditional role of providing affordable, sports car motoring for the ordinary enthusiast. The MGB was mechanically similar to the preceding MGA, though with heavier, unitary construction bodyshell. To compensate for the newcomer's increased weight the existing B-Series engine was stretched from 1,622 to 1,798cc, while the MGB's aerodynamically efficient lines made the most of the maximum available 95bhp to achieve a top speed which just bested the magic 'ton'. A 'right first time' design that changed little over the years apart from the adoption of a more robust five-main-bearing engine in 1965 (fitted from the start of GT production that autumn) a minor facelift for 1970 and the adoption of plastic bumpers (to comply with US legislation) for 1975, the 'B' enjoyed an 18-year production life and sales totalling in excess of 500,000 cars. Its popularity remaining undiminished today, the classic MGB is one of the easiest sports cars of its era to run and maintain in the 21st Century, being served by a worldwide industry of spare parts and service providers. This superb early righthand drive, home market, pull handle, MG B with overdrive was built in November 1963 and delivered to its first of only five owners in January 1964. Some 32 years later, in 1996 it's then current owner performed a full and complete nut and bolt restoration over a three-year period using a brand new Heritage body shell, the result of which gives today a rust free original, matching numbers 1963 MG B as it was when it first came out of the factory and one of the most desirable to own and drive early B Roadsters. The original superb 1798cc three bearing crank engine has been fully rebuilt and runs superbly along with the four-speed with overdrive gearbox, again fully refurbished. Virtually every ancillary, including the wiring loom, all electrics, steering, brakes were replaced with 'new old stock' parts. The interior is completely refurbished with the original seats re-leathered in the original red. Finished in Old English White, it is supplied with a new hood and frame. Having covered only 6,000 miles since 1994, all the MoT test certificates are in the history file; this MG B wants for nothing and will be the pride of its next lucky owner. It comes with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate, a history file and new wire wheels. This is an extremely rare car with many thousands of pounds spent on it a true investment and a true classic car to own and enjoy. ?

Bentley Arnage Red Label

Lot # 279 (Sale Order: 78 of 153)

Make: BentleyModel: ArnageYear: 2000Mileage: 85,437VIN: SCBLC32E3YCH05454Registration: X889 HKYTransmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate - Range: 12000 - 16000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, a large luxury saloon car that replaced the previous Bentley Turbo saloon. Built by in Crewe from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the spring of 1998 and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. The Arnage Green Label was to be powered by the BMW V8 engine with Cosworth-engineered twin-turbo chargers but the Red Label employed the more preferable 6.75 litre Bentley powerplant and was, for a brief time, the most powerful and fastest four-door saloon on the market. Presented in traditional Sherwood Green with a cream hide interior, this super-luxurious Bentley benefits from a full service history and an MoT test certificate valid until June, 2017. The original mileage was logged at 58,086 when a new (DIP) speedometer unit was fitted in 2003 when the car subsequently travelled a further 27,351 miles totalling 85,437. Interior comforts abound and include a Garmin satellite navigation system. Representing huge value for money, this palace of a motorcar is very sensibly priced indeed. Interested parties should note that the registration is not being sold with this vehicle and that a new age-related plate will be issued instead.

Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2

Lot # 280 (Sale Order: 79 of 153)

Make: JaguarYear: 1971Mileage: 62,589VIN: 1S 50652Registration: HHR 181KTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 22000 - 28000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type fixedhead coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend Dad's youth for another seven years'. 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 is a matching numbers, genuine UK car originally registered on 5th January 1972. We are advised by the vendor that she comes with a good history folder and drives well with a responsive 5,343cc engine mated to a manual gearbox making this E-Type a fun car to drive. Finished in white with black trim this Jaguar is supplied with a V5C registration document and full years' MoT test certificate. With the 2 + 2 configuration more suited to the taller driver, it is easy to see the desirability of examples such as this, particularly in view of the very attractive estimate.

Rover Mini Cooper 'Fast Road Spec.'

Lot # 281 (Sale Order: 80 of 153)

Make: RoverYear: 1996Mileage: 62,961VIN: SAXXNNAYCBD130764Registration: P263CCTTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualItem Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Mini was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2001. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960's and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T. Initially, Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. The Mini was again marketed under the Austin name in the 1980's and was offered in a number of limited editions that usually included a special combination of trim and badging. This 1996 Mini Cooper has been built up to be an ultra competitive street, track or hill climb racer. Finished in red with white racing roof, upgrades included a full roll cage, racing seats with harness, adjustable suspension and an upgraded gearbox. Having covered just 62,000 miles from new, this Mini is road legal with a valid UK MoT test certificate. The 1,279cc engine has been modified which helps the little Cooper propel up the Brooklands hill climb with ease. Little is known about the upgrades at present therefore viewing is recommended. Imported from Japan, we are informed this Mini also has air conditioning and is enormous fun and a great midpoint for a genuinely competitive Mini. This Cooper is offered at no reserve.?

Mercedes-Benz 250 CE

Lot # 282 (Sale Order: 81 of 153)

Make: Mercedes-BenzYear: 1971Mileage: 55,263VIN: 1.14022E+13Registration: TRW 801JTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualItem Location - Country: United Kingdom

The W 114 coupé heralded a completely new range of cars for Mercedes-Benz. Unlike everything else on offer, this did not take any previous elements from the standard 180 from the 1950's. A new designer was brought in, Paul Bracq, who penned a pure and uncluttered motorcar. The roofline came down and the seats lowered to maintain headroom. The pillars were removed and all four windows wound down completely out of sight. The engine was a 2.5 litre, fuel injected unit with Bosch Jetronic injection delivering 148bhp and propelling this model up to a perfectly respectable 115mph, especially in those days. TRW 801J was originally registered in 1971 and was owned by a Mr. J. A. France. Having only covered 47,663 miles, on 3rd April 1975, this car was sadly stolen until some four years later; it was discovered with no damage but the keys missing. The car was then purchased by Mr. George Bain of Baldock from the insurance underwriter, General Accident. A replacement registration document was applied for and the car was put on the DVLA computer on the 1st December, 1979 and declared manufactured 1971. With help from the Mercedes-Benz Owners Club, this could be rectified and the original date of registration verified. Over the following five years, he drove the car 6,800 miles and then put the car into storage. In May 2009, the car was passed on to his son Murray Bain. He undertook a re-commissioning program of the car and, over the next seven years, spent a total of over £19,000 on the car. Having now only covered a total of 55,260 miles, verified by accompanying MoT test certificates, it represents a great opportunity for the next custodian.

BMW E30 M3 Sport Evolution (Evo III)

Lot # 283 (Sale Order: 82 of 153)

Make: BMWYear: 1990Mileage: 251,045VIN: WBAAK070X0AC79052Registration: S238 YRTTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 65000 - 80000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the 3-Series developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division and completely set the world alight in terms of performance. Upgrades over the standard 3-Series include more powerful and responsive engines, improved handling/suspension/braking systems, aerodynamic body enhancements, lightweight components, and interior/exterior accents with the famous tri-colour 'M' (Motorsport) emblem. Interestingly, the BMW M3 remains the only car ever to have earned more titles than the venerated Porsche 911 in Motorsport. The production of the E30 road car was to homologate the M3 for Group A Touring Car racing. Introduced in 1986 as a road car, it dominated Touring Car racing throughout the World taking countless titles including the prestigious German, Australian and British titles, not to mention the World Touring Car Championship in 1987. The next generation E30 M3 or 'Evolution' model (also called Evo II was the closest road experience to a 'Group A' racing-car in 1988. The 'Evo II' had many differences compared to a normal specification M3. The engine itself received a slight increase in power thanks to a new camshaft, pistons and intake system. To lighten the car, the flywheel, boot lid, windows and bumpers were reduced in weight. Later, the limited edition 'Sport Evolution' model (referred as Evo III) increased engine displacement to 2.5 litre and had enlarged front bumper openings and an adjustable multi-position front splitter and rear wing. Brake cooling ducts were also installed in place of front foglights. The cars themselves were very different with unique body panels for the purposes of improving aerodynamics, increased caster angle through major front suspension changes and aluminium control arms. They had special front and rear brake callipers and rotors. It also has a special brake master cylinder and a Getrag 265 five-speed gearbox with limited-slip differentials. This superb example represents one of just 600 Sport Evolutions built and thus hugely collectable. All were lefthand drive and options were limited. Interiors were either cloth or leather although the cloth is considered more desirable as it reduces weight. Originally an Italian car, it was imported into the UK in 2005 where is has been looked after by the subsequent two owners. Much care has been expended in recent years including a top-end rebuild in 2010 and, more recently, a new exhaust and brake-discs and pads. Items that normally get lost over time appear here in excellent condition such as the original parcel shelf and speakers and the whole car has been sympathetically but beautifully restored. A history file is included as well as a full service and MoT test certificate. Given prices asked for over the internet for good examples, this represents extremely good value indeed.

AC 12/40 boat-tailed sports

The first car from what eventually became AC was presented at the Crystal Palace Motor Show in 1903; it was a 20HP touring car and was displayed under the Weller name. Calling it the 'Auto-Carrier', a new company was founded and named Autocars and Accessories; production started in 1904. In 1907, a passenger version appeared, called the A.C. Sociable. The company became Auto Carriers Ltd. in 1911 and moved to Ferry Works, Thames Ditton, Surrey-at this time they also began using the famed 'AC' roundel logo. After the war, John Weller started on the design of a new overhead-cam six-cylinder engine, the first versions of this design were running by 1919. The Weller engine would be produced until 1963; it is possibly the second-longest-lived production motor in history after the Volkswagen boxer. In 1921, Selwyn Edge (who had been with Napier & Son) bought shares in the company and was appointed governing director. He did not get along with Weller or Portwine, who resigned less than a year later. In 1922, the name changed again to AC Cars Ltd. This 1922 AC Sports is a unique survivor one of only two left in existence, an original Ferry works Thames Ditton body and chassis, matching numbers engine and transaxle powered by 1,500cc Anzani engine with three forward gears and rear brakes only. This car returned from Canada in 1995, During previous ownership the engine had been completely rebuilt and it is an extremely well sorted and reliable car, to testify to that it has also completed in two Monte Carlo challenges. In fine fettle, this has recently been displayed at Brooklands Museum's Vintage Society Day and 2013 Vintage Revival at Montlhéry. AC provided each car with a Brooklands 70mph certificate as proof of achieving this speed at Brooklands and this is believed to still be present. The AC has its original bespoke boat-tail body and was sold in polished aluminium to display the craftsmanship of the company. Under the bonnet the car is extremely clean and the two seater bench seating arrangement is finished in Blue with all the dials and instruments correct and as far as we are aware fully operational. There are only two known AC Sports surviving today, a 1921 model and this 1922 model and this was also featured in Simon Taylor's 'AC Heritage' Book and is a piece of history at both Brooklands and Thames Ditton. This may be the only chance you will ever have of owning such a car from one of the longest manufacturers of quality vehicles. You also have to consider that wherever you go you will probably never see the other one!?

1967/1987 Jaguar C-Type Recreation by Proteus

Following the relative success of the Jaguar XK120s at the 1950 Le Mans 24hr race it was realised that, with minimal engine tuning, a lighter chassis and a lightweight aerodynamically revised aluminium body shell the car would have a very real chance of success against its infamous opposition and thus the XK120C or C-Type was born. The C-Types were completed in time to compete in the 1951 Le Mans 24hr. At one point in the race the Jaguars held first, second and third place and it was only mechanical teething issues that prevented that from being the final result. With such an icon marque as the Jaguar C-Type it was inevitable that companies would seek to produce recreations. The highest quality of these recreations was offered by Proteus. The company was established in 1985 by Jim Marland in Lancashire and they are still in existence today. This beautifully constructed C-Type is presented in royal blue coachwork with complimentary deep blue interior. Purchased in 1987, the donor car, a 340 Jaguar in fully working order, was the basis of this recreation, other than the steering rack and coil over shock absorbers provided by Proteus, the vehicle uses all Jaguar components and the body has an alloy centre section and GRP nose and tail section. All components when built were stripped, inspected and if necessary rebuilt, the engine was fully rebuilt with a 9: 1 compression pistons, lightened flywheel, new valves, valve springs and seats. All suspension components were bead-blasted, powder-coated and reassembled using new bushes with the brakes similarly overhauled and resealed alongside new discs all round. More recently, in 2013, Reeders of Pewsey have given the car a mechanical and cosmetic re-fresh to the tune of £5,500 which included adjusting the carburettors, replacing the water pump, exhaust manifold and gaskets alongside the cosmetic tidy up for the vendor. Unfortunately, due to a hip operation, the vendor gets to use his C-Type very little so other than Reeders annually checking the car and road testing, in the past three years less than 100 miles have been covered. Described by the vendor as a 10 out of 10 example which is accompanied by a comprehensive history from the donor car including handbook and buff green logbook a history file containing old MoT's test certificates, invoices and with the Proteus build sheet along with V5 registration document stating a 1967 Jaguar 340 and MoT test certificate valid until August 2017, this is a beautiful recreation of the much converted C-type and will undoubtedly turn heads on any road she graces.?

With the launch of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom in May 1925, it became instantly obvious that Rolls-Royce had put to good effect the experience that the company had learned in the eighteen year production period of the Silver Ghost. Though not just a spearhead of innovation, the Rolls-Royce Phantom, later usually listed as Phantom I, featured an all new pushrod-operated overhead valve engine with detachable cylinder heads. From 7,668cc, the engine provided sufficient power to accelerate from walking pace to top speed with ease, rendering three of the four gears virtually redundant apart from starting from stationary or on Alpine passes. In this respect, as well as in every other detail, the new Phantom was a worthy successor to the universally acclaimed Silver Ghost. Chassis 2YAL was believed to have been originally delivered new to an ancestor of Lord Lucan in August 1928 with Landaulette coach work but was converted in approximately 1960 to a boat tail open tourer. The car was purchased by the current vendor with plans to convert the car to a barrel sided tourer with the ash frame fitted in 1979 and the engine (#MQ15) overhauled by specialists Brunts of Newcastle earlier in 1972. The 2YAL comes with a green log book with the registration number RR 9687 and a test certificate dating back to 6th September 1966 where it was issued in Hull, Yorkshire. Offered at no reserve this Rolls-Royce Phantom I project offers a unique opportunity to bring this magnificent machine back to its former glory.

The Austin-Healey Sprite is a small, open sports car which was announced to the press in Monte Carlo on 20th May, 1958, just before the Monaco Grand Prix. It was intended to be a low-cost model that 'a chap could keep in his bike shed', yet be the successor to the sporting versions of the pre-war Austin Seven. The Sprite was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company which received a royalty payment from the manufacturers, BMC. It first went on sale at a price of £669, using a mildly tuned version of the Austin A-Series engine and many other components from existing cars to keep costs down. The little Sprite quickly became affectionately known as the 'Frogeye'. The 43bhp, 948cc engine was upgraded with twin 1 1/8" SU carburettors. The rear axle was both located and sprung by quarter-elliptic leaf springs, again with lever-arm shock absorbers. There were no exterior door handles; the driver and passenger were required to reach inside to open the door. There was also no boot lid and access to the spare wheel and luggage compartment was achieved by tilting the seat-backs forward and reaching under the rear deck. This charming example recently underwent a restoration in 2014 with a large file of bills and photographs accompanying the car detailing the work carried out; bills from specialists such as AH Spares, PBW Spridget Specialists and A Head 4 Healeys Ltd. and Moss Manchester. Recently resprayed in white with a contrasting black interior, it is supplied with a black hood and side screens to keep inclement weather at bay. An MoT test certificate with no advisories along with ten old certificates are found in the history file along with a V5C document. A hugely enjoyable and usable British classic.

The Austin Cambridge (sold as A40, A50, A55, and A60) was sold in several generations from September 1954 through to 1969 as cars and to 1971 as light commercials. It replaced the A40 Somerset but was entirely new with a modern unibody construction. The A40 number was re-used on a smaller car (the Austin A40 Farina) from 1958 to 1967. Initially the Austin Cambridge was only offered with a four door saloon body and, although a few pre-production two door models were also manufactured, they did not reach production. It had a modern body design with integrated wings and a full-width grill. Independent suspension was provided at the front by coil springs and wishbones but a live axle with anti-roll bar was retained at the rear, with drive to the wheels by means of a four-speed gear box controlled with a column-mounted lever. Originally registered on 19th August 1955 this Austin A50 was restored some four years ago. More recently the car has had a total brake overhaul, new wiring loom and battery and new tyres. During the restoration the bodywork was repaired or re-fabricated where necessary and the interior kept original as possible although the drivers' seat has been recovered. Finished in black with red leather trim and supplied with a V5C registration document, together with a collection of bills/invoices; this Austin A50 Cambridge is a well sorted example and is offered for sale at no reserve.

Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II

With the debut of the BMW M3 Sport Evolution, Mercedes-Benz' direct competitor, it became obvious that the 2.5-16 needed a boost for the circuit. In March 1989, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution debuted at the Geneva Auto Show. The Evo I, as it came to be called, had a new spoiler and wider wheel arches. Many changes were made to under-the-skin components such as brakes and suspension. There was a full SLS suspension allowing vehicle ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. Only 502 units of the Evolution model were produced for homologation in compliance with DTM rules. For those customers desiring even more performance, a Powerpack option, engineered by AMG, was available for DM18,000 with a net result of an additional 30bhp. In March 1990, at the Geneva Auto Show, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II was shown. With the success of the first Evolution model, this model's 502-unit production was already sold before it was unveiled. The 'Evo II' included the AMG Powerpack fitted to the same short-stroke 2.5 litre engine as the Evolution, as well as a full SLS suspension allowing vehicle ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. An obvious modification to the Evolution II is a radical body kit with a large adjustable rear wing, rear window spoiler and Evolution II 17" wheels. Few cars have the homologated visual impact of the 2.5-16 Evolution II. At a time, when the German Touring car series had peaked in popularity and was arguably at its most competitive, the whole of Europe and particularly BMW would soon notice the effect of this wild styling exercise. This particular example has been carefully owned by fastidious collectors and has covered only 8,663 miles from new and, as one would expect, presents in truly magnificent condition. This Evo II was originally a German delivered car which was imported by a Japanese collector in 2005 with 2,800km on the clock; prior to the export, the car was serviced with a main dealer in Deggendorf in June of 2005. The first Japanese owner would service the car at 3,284km with a second Japanese collector purchasing the car on the 10th of June 2009 with 8,100km recorded and it received a further service with Mercedes-Benz at 9,244km. The original import and Japanese registration documents are present in the history file as well as a checklist on the car conducted by Mercedes-Benz in Kyoto. The full book pack is also present and correct. The vendor reports the paintwork retains a deep, consistent lustre throughout with plastics and shadow line trim pleasingly free of any marks or wear; a definitive time warp example. Highly specified with full black leather interior, the deeply bolstered front seats are near new with a matte finish. There is very little wear to report in the cabin, with gearbox tunnel, sills and carpets all mark free. The wooden inlays and surrounds retain good lacquer and the fit and finish are pleasingly free of cracks or distortion. Some period additions from new, an oil temperature gauge, stopwatch and voltmeter, are key to assuring the driver of the homologation bloodline. The self-levelling suspension can be adjusted from inside the car. The vendor confirms that the engine has been well serviced, pulls very well and is on-cam when the car comes alive; really a very eager engine with a beautifully balanced chassis. The dogleg gearbox is a joy to use; 1st gear engages with minimum of fuss from cold and moves away cleanly and smoothly. The Evolution six spoke wheels still present in excellent order having never been refurbished and the braking system provides excellent stopping power with no adverse pitch or pull. A wonderful example of the legendary model, this car is UK registered with a V5 document and MoT certificate valid until June 2017. With all taxes paid this represents a fantastic low mileage example of one of the rarest and most desirable motor cars from Mercedes-Benz.

Lotus Elite Mk. 14 Series II

The first Elite or Lotus Type 14 was an ultra-light two-seater coupé, produced from 1958 to 1963; it made its debut at the 1957 London Motor Car Show. It was chassis number 1008 and, having spent a year in development, aided by 'carefully selected racing customers', it went on sale. The Elite's most distinctive feature was its highly innovative fibreglass monocoque construction; the Elite also used this glass-reinforced plastic material for the entire load-bearing structure of the car though the front of the monocoque incorporated a steel sub-frame supporting the engine and front suspension. The resultant body was both lighter and stiffer and provided better driver protection in the event of any mishap. It had independent suspension all round with transverse wishbones at the front and Chapman struts at the rear whilst advanced aerodynamics also made a contribution giving the car a very low drag coefficient of 0.29 - quite low even for modern cars. When production ceased in 1963, a mere 1,030 units had been manufactured. First registered on 19th July 1962, this charming sports car has been in long term ownership in the current vendor's family since 1970 with the previous owner having the car for four years. Powering 15 NMM is a Coventry Climax FWE, 1216cc engine (#FWE10503) producing 90bhp and Stage two tuned and fitted with a high-lift camshaft and twin SU carburettors. Further enhancements include a Lawrence Tune conversion with oil cooler and body mounted oil filter. Power is fed through a four-speed ZF close-ratio gearbox with the car sitting on its original wire wheels. The interior is functional as one would expect to keep weight down and not to distract from the road ahead with black vinyl seats and leather steering wheel. 15 NMM was renovated in the 1970s and 1980s, used as a road car and shown at local shows and events until 2006 where it was laid up for the next 10 years. Showing 52,000 miles and with an MoT test certificate valid until July 2017, this affordable example comes with the green registration booklet and represents an iconic and extremely desirable British sports car.

Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupé

When Jaguar resumed car production in 1945, it dropped its pre-war sportscar line to concentrate on saloon manufacture. But at the 1948 Motor Show, the firm astonished the public by announcing a new two-seater roadster; the XK120, with the name reflecting its top speed. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar's famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, intended for the Mk. VII saloon, then two years away. The car was in instant demand which caught Jaguar a little by surprise. The open two-seater model was joined by a fixedhead coupé version in 1951 and a drophead coupé followed in 1953. The 120 lasted until 1954 before making way for its XK140 successor. It was to prove the most popular of the series with 12,061 examples built; of these, only 295 were righthand drive drophead coupés like the car offered here. This genuine UK registered Jaguar XK120 was originally supplied by Henley's in Manchester on 17th August 1954 and has been owned by the current vendor for the last 27 years. After regular use under his stewardship, he took the car off the road in 2001 and has had her dry stored ever since. The original colour was suede green and at some stage she was painted red; in 1987 a colour change was recorded with the DVLA to Cotswold blue and this is how she still presents today. Clearly some restoration work has been carried out although, unfortunately, it is not known when or by whom. Our inspection confirmed this XK120 to be an ideal vehicle for further investment as it is a matching numbers example and still bearing the original registration number. The bodywork appears to be very good with little or no signs of corrosion; the hood is aged but in very good order and the interior trim very presentable and perfectly useable. Mechanically she has not been run for a number of years although the vendor did say she drove exceedingly well prior to going into hibernation, with no worrying noises and with good oil pressure. Supplied with a V5 registration document, a Heritage Certificate and some invoices and bills dating back to 1993, some light and sympathetic re-commissioning is required; however, taking into account the rarity of such cars, this is an outstanding opportunity to own a highly sought after, unmolested Jaguar.

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a two-door grand touring convertible with a removable hardtop that was produced between May 1955 and February 1963 with a prototype first shown at the 1954 New York Motor Show. It was sold alongside the faster, more expensive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL which it closely resembled both in its styling, engineering, detailing and fully independent suspension. However, the 190 SL did not use the 300 SL's purpose-built tubular space frame W198 platform but was built on a shortened monocoque R121 unit. The 190 SL was powered by a new 1.9 litre straight-four SOHC engine that developed 104bhp and was later also used in the W120, 180 and W121, 190 models. The four-cylinder engine block of the 190 SL was based on the six- cylinder engine of the 300 SL. This beautifully presented 190 SL, in a timeless combination of black with red leather, looks marvellous alongside the SL's plentiful brightwork. Restored in 2014, this 190 SL presents to a high standard overall. The paintwork is in good order with few imperfections to note and the chrome is in excellent condition, appearing as new throughout. The car is equipped with a matching black hardtop and a new black soft-top. The elegant red upholstery feels fresh, having been entirely replaced during the car's restoration in 2014; as such the seats are like new with no wear to speak of. The carpets, too, are pristine as are the leather door cards and dash covering. The black painted fascia also remains in lovely condition and the original steering wheel retains its patina. Lifting the bonnet reveals a sound engine bay with power transferred to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. Offered in stunning condition throughout and possibly the best colour combination, this example represents fantastic value given the expense that was outlaid to bring this classic 1960's icon to its current standard.?

This original righthand drive Jaguar XK150 is one of the exceptionally rare S variants fitted with the 3.4 engine and the highly practical drophead coupé body style. It is believed just 104 examples of this model were made with the righthand drive examples making up a very small proportion of that number. The Jaguar Heritage Production Record Certificate on file states that this fabulous car was manufactured on May 6th, 1959 and finished in Imperial Maroon, a Biscuit interior trim and a sand coloured folding roof. The Certificate continues to state the car was originally supplied by Henlys of London and was allocated for personal export delivery for sale to a Major J. M. C. Plant who was stationed in Germany. The car was registered with the Coventry number plate of 'UKV 39'; the registration number the car still wears proudly. Restored in the 1990's in Stuttgart, Germany as detailed by a plaque stating "Restored by CarPoint" it is assumed the car remained there until at least the 1990's either in the care of Major Plant or subsequent keepers. In January 1999, the car was registered with the DVLA as 'WSJ 809' and shortly afterwards, in April 1999, it was registered in Guernsey as '36992' to a friend of the current vendor. The car remained in Guernsey until November 2009 when it was acquired by the current vendor. He initially tasked a well known Jersey restoration workshop to re-commission the vehicle after a lay-up period and the workshop proceeded to carry out many routine repairs until July 2014. The XK150 was then exported from Jersey by the owner and brought to England where it was registered and reunited with its original 'UKV 39' number plate. Early this year, highly regarded Jaguar XK specialist, Twyford Moors of Hampshire, carried out a thorough service with in-depth work carried out to impeccable standards. The plan was to tour the XK150 in Europe but unfortunately the destiny of this example has yet to be realised. We are informed the vehicle has performed superbly. The vendor describes this beautiful and rare original righthand drive XK150S as being totally correct; chassis, engine and body numbers all match those stated on the Heritage Certificate and the car is in 'excellent' condition. The comprehensive history file contains numerous invoices for the aforementioned works, Jaguar Heritage Production Certificate, a green Guernsey registration book and export certificates for both Guernsey and Jersey. The odometer displays just over 10,000 miles, the distance the car has covered since its restoration in 1990. This car offers a rare combination of superlative looks and usable high performance and with the additional benefits of power steering, a CD changer and what appear to be heated seats. It would be right at home either on the German autobahn or in the mountain routes of the Italian Alps. It is time to fulfil this rare and beautiful example's destiny.?

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was the core model of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars range from April 1955 until March 1966. It replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J. P. Blatchley design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation, the Bentley S1 is also very similar apart from, of course, its radiator grill. The chassis was a simple steel box section, welded together and very rigid. Construction retained the traditional split between chassis and body which facilitated the provision of special bodied versions although, in practice, the overwhelming majority of cars were delivered with the standard steel body shell, produced by Pressed Steel, and employing light weight aluminium based alloy for the doors, bonnet and boot lid. The engine was a 155hp six-cylinder unit with inlet over exhaust valves; twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957 and standard was a four-speed, automatic transmission. Repatriated to the UK in 1997, this lefthand drive Rolls-Royce has had extensive work carried out on her, including a H J Mulliner style conversion carried out by Wildae Restorations Ltd in Devon. Manufactured on 12th May 1959 this Silver Cloud is finished in metallic grey with contrasting maroon leather trim and hood. The dashboard, door trims and picnic tables are finished in highly figured burr walnut, this really is a magnificent looking vehicle. The vendor has an extensive file with the car confirming how meticulous he is and the significant level of investment. Since the restoration the vendor then took the car on its travels, namely across America and Canada, is there a better way to tour these vast countries than in a Rolls-Royce convertible. We are advised this Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I drives with no known faults and is an effortless, extremely comfortable way to travel whether that is to the local shops or to the Cote d'Azur.

Started by Ian Pitney's father in 1973 and followed by his son Ian in 2002, Pitney restorations have been creating one-off aluminium panels for pre and post-war motor cars in the same time-honoured traditions. The most immaculate curves and lines seen on the world's most expensive cars start life in workshops such as these. The English wheel, rollers, clamps and hammers are all that's required to turn flat aluminium into the most voluptuous and inspired shapes imaginable. That and, of course, skill and experience and it is precisely this skill and experience that makes an un-prepossessing workshop into an Aladdin's cave of sleeping beauty's awaiting the Pitney treatment. Ian has been creating stunning panels for the great and the good for years, until January, 2013 when, in one of those 'shower moments' when you're not really thinking of anything much, he decided to make something special for himself. Something using styling cues he had bumped into over the years, liked and subconsciously lodged in the old grey matter. The starting point, a 1934 3½ litre Bentley with sound chassis and mechanics but an uninspiring saloon body. Once the body had been removed, the chassis sealed and the engine ancillaries, (carburettors etc) cleaned, it was time to begin to create something that Ian wanted. To wit, a two-seat, open tourer with a Monza tail and 'flying-wings'. The cockpit has been relocated further back on the chassis to show-off a bonnet to die for, a well proportioned tail and many other carefully considered details. Starting at the bottom, the suspension has been enclosed in 4½ litre-style leather gaiters, full-length under trays and vented chassis rails covers. The coach work, hand-beaten aluminium of course, is effortlessly draped over the superstructure in such a way as to promote a feeling of power to the front end, a streamlined profile with those Delage-style wheel arches and the pre-war Alfa Romeo competition rear end. But these are the basics, wherever you look, you find further clever details. From the hand-curved exhaust with a wide bore promising (and delivering) that sonorous note beloved by the Wolf Banato and chums. The Le Mans-Style fuel filler cap doesn't open unless you have a hex-key to open the rear compartment, there you will find a button. Clever. There is immaculately crafted aluminium trim around the rear quarters, beautiful hinges and freshly re-chromed headlamps and bonnet cowling. The cockpit also holds many treats for the new owner, beyond the fully adjustable leather bucket seats, the pedals are also fully adjustable for taller drivers and there is a special covered cubby-hole should you require more footspace as you 'proceed'. The passenger gets a footrest too, as well as a set of stopwatches and Le Mans racing screens. The dials have pronounced bevelled glass and brass rims, the cockpit uprights are drilled and punched wherever possible to minimise weight and the handbrake has been moved outside to increase internal space. A side-mounted spare wheel is included with tools to be found in further storage bins under the bonnet. Starting on the button, the driving experience is reported to be brisk with manoeuvring taking place with little bother. There is only one Ian Pitney Special, and this is it.

Ferrari 512 BB

Lot # 296 (Sale Order: 95 of 153)

Make: FerrariModel: 512 BBYear: 1977Mileage: 33,680VIN: F102BB20509Registration: German RegisteredTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 330000 - 360000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Production of the BB was a major step for Enzo Ferrari. He felt that a mid-engined road car would be too difficult for his buyers to handle and it took many years for his engineers to convince him to adopt the layout. This attitude began to change as the marque lost its racing dominance in the late 1950s to mid-engined competitors. The mid-engined four-, six-, and eight-cylinder Dino racing cars were the result and Ferrari later allowed for the production Dino road cars to use the layout as well. The first 'Boxer' was the 365 GT4BB shown at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Designed to rival the Lamborghini Miura, it was finally released for sale in 1973 at the Paris Motor Show. 387 were built, with 88 in righthand drive (of which 58 for the UK market), making it the rarest of all Berlinetta Boxers. Though it shared its numerical designation with the Daytona, the Boxer was radically different. It was a mid-engined car like the Dino, and the now flat-12 engine was mounted longitudinally rather than transversely. The engine shared its internal dimensions with the V12 from the Daytona but was spread out to 180° as on Ferrari's 1970 Formula One car and was mounted above a five-speed manual transmission. The 365 was updated as the BB512 in 1976, resurrecting the name of the earlier Ferrari 512 racer. The engine was larger at 4942cc and had an increased compression ratio of 9.2:1, a new dual plate clutch to handle the added power and ease pedal effort. Dry sump lubrication was used to prevent oil starvation in hard cornering due to revised rear suspension and wider rear tires. External differentiators included a new front spoiler, wider rear tires; added NACA side air vents ducting air to the brakes and four tail lights instead of six. Only 929 examples were made of the BB before the Bosch fuel injected BB512i was introduced in 1981. The carburetted 512BB is the more desirable and prized version of the 512, rather than the later injection cars with this carburetted model manufactured in 1977. Finished in its original colour scheme of Argento silver with contrasting black leather interior, this European delivered example is fitted with its original matching numbers engine and is one of only 70 cars delivered with white front lights. The present owner informs us that he returned the car to its birthplace for a complete overhaul by Ferrari specialists in Maranello with no expense spared. All invoices for the restoration and repairs are available in the file along with German registration documents and a German TÜV valid until 2017. Further details include the rare and desirable original tool kit, spare wheel with tire, handbook, document wallet and spare keys. Technically, everything on this Ferrari is like new and is showing only 33,000km. Besides new suspension, cooling system, timing belt and seals, it was also ensured that the Weber carburettors were revised and tuned. This 512BB regained its original Argento colour and its black leather interior was fully restored by world renowned Luppi in Modena. With the detailed works of a professional renovation, it is in pristine condition, as it would have left the Ferrari factory approximately 40 years ago. The above mentioned certificate of authenticity issued by Ferrari Classiche is already paid, approved and under preparation. The original exhaust, currently being created in Maranello, still has to be installed so that finally the Classiche Certificate will be provided in September 2016 after the next Classiche session is held in Maranello. Refreshing to see in its original colour of Argento, this highly desirable Ferrari is certainly one of the most attractive, delicately balanced designs ever produced by the masters at Pininfarina.

Triumph Southern Cross four-seat Tourer

Lot # 297 (Sale Order: 96 of 153)

Make: TriumphYear: 1932Mileage: 35,087VIN: 90705Registration: KV 2263Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 14000 - 18000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Triumph Southern Cross Tourer was built upon the type nine chassis and used the Coventry Climax, overhead inlet and side exhaust valve engine of 1,018cc displacement with a four-speed gearbox. This model was the first of many variations, all, similar in design before being replaced by the all new, two seater, Gloria Southern Cross. This 1932 Triumph Southern Cross has been in the same ownership for more than 50 years whereby it was lovingly cared for, attending many rallies with the Pre-1940 Triumph Owner's Club, the owner being one of the earliest members. It was given to the gentleman owner by his father in 1963 and has been a part of his family since. Sadly, the owner passed away and the car stood for 18 months. The Triumph is in excellent condition having been restored by South Stoke Workshops in Oxfordshire circa 2004 to 2008 and has recently had light re-commissioning works undertaken to maintain its running condition, with the car starting and running well. The large history file was well maintained by the meticulous owner and includes many invoices, letters, drawings, technical data and much more. One letter, from the Pre-1940 Triumph Motor Club Archivist and Registrar, dated February 2015 states,"The car is one of only six Southern Cross 'Nine' tourers to survive with their original style bodywork. This car is in first class condition throughout." This delightful Southern Cross presents very well today, its traditional aluminium coachwork over an ash frame is attractive in green and still displays the early type cycle wings and wonderful mesh radiator grille mounted in front of the Art-Deco fluted surround. The standard continues on the inside with the matching green leather in excellent order. The Southern Cross is offered with full weather protection and with a very attractive estimate, we expect a new owner to be taking full advantage of the VSCC events throughout the year.

Humber Snipe Foursome Drophead Coupé

Lot # 298 (Sale Order: 97 of 153)

Make: HumberYear: 1936Mileage: 95,000VIN: 4288/25Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualItem Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Humber Super Snipe was produced from 1938 to 1967 by the British-based car manufacturer and part of the Rootes Group. The 1930s car came with a 3498cc straight six cylinder overhead inlet side exhaust valve engine and a claimed power output of 80hp. The classic limousine style body featured rear hinged doors and in some respects resembled the Humber Snipe 80 with which it shared its engine. Humber, the manufacturer, lost its independence in 1931 when the Rootes Group acquired a majority share holding. A re-bodied Pullman with two-piece 'V' windscreen appeared in 1936 sharing the wheelbase of its predecessor but with the overall length of the car increased to 196". Engine size was now raised to 4,086cc while power output was claimed to be 100hp. The power increase was also evident from the top speed which now edged up to 75mph. In 1939, the Pullman was joined by the Humber Imperial or Snipe Imperial which shared the engine with the Pullman, the car nevertheless remained spacious and was favoured for use by British government ministers during the 1940s. This stunning Humber drophead coupé has clearly seen better days but represents a fantastic opportunity to bring this majestic drophead back to its former glory. Finished in two-tone blue, it was purchased by the vendor in 1983 from a Mr Sparrowhawk of Banstead. The car was not in a roadworthy condition when purchased; the idea was to restore the car but has been stored ever since. Supplied with its original wire wheels and various trim items, this rare Humber three position drophead coupé is a significant motor car and will make a fantastic restoration project. Offered at no reserve.

Triumph Dolomite Short Chassis Saloon

Lot # 299 (Sale Order: 98 of 153)

Make: TriumphYear: 1937Mileage: 5,446VIN: 23/1/1407Registration: CWR 860Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 30000 - 36000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

We are delighted to offer this wonderful example of the Pre-war Triumph Dolomite, so well recognised for its flowing art deco style waterfall radiator. Some may also recognise this Triumph Dolomite, as it was sold to the current owner in our Mercedes-Benz World sale in November 2014. Since then, the Dolomite has been kept in a Carcoon within dry storage and used sparingly; in fact, the Triumph has covered less than 100 miles in that time. Mr Fred Richardson originally purchased the Dolomite from 'Glovers of Ripon and Harrogate'on December 16th 1937. In 1955 Mr Richardson, then 70 years old, parked the car in his garage for the last time until a Mr Keith Snowdon discovered it, 25 years later. It was a further two years before the car was finally rescued from the garage whereby, sadly, the roof had collapsed on it but although the Dolomite was in very poor condition it had only 28,000 miles recorded on the clock. In 1998, now in the ownership of a Mr Alan Davis, a restoration was embarked upon that would eventually take several years to complete. Rob Green of Gloria Coachworks who is probably the world's authority on the restoration of pre-war Triumph motor cars undertook the major works. The hand crafted alloy over ash coachwork was removed from the chassis and the chassis itself completely restored to as new condition. In fact, the detail includes the fully operational chassis lubrication system. The frame was replaced with new ash and the alloy body panels carefully crafted onto the frame. The interior was found to be in a very poor state so an extensive re-trim to the original specifications was carried out with attention to detail that includes the exquisite art deco door cards and leather detailing surrounding the rear window and roof area. Mechanically, the original 1.5 litre engine has been replaced with a rebuilt 1767cc pre-war Triumph unit fitted with twin SU carburettors with drive via the rebuilt gearbox and a differential that was replaced with a higher ratio unit resulting in higher cruising speeds at lower engine revs making this car so much more usable on today's roads. All of the internal and external lights are fully functional and the additional indicators front and rear are in addition to the working illuminated semaphore units. The delightful 'Mellowtone'horns, that sound either loud or soft on operation of the select button upon the steering wheel, work as designed. The coachwork is in excellent order and presented in Willow Green and complimented by the green leather seats and well finished woodwork. A useful sunroof operates easily for those sunny days. An extensive history file contains photographs of the car when found and of the restoration. The original sales invoice and buff log book are also present as well as period road test reports service data and a useful period 'Triumph Cars' maintenance book by T.P. Postlethwait. Detailed invoicing of parts purchased and works carried out total in the region of £60,000, confirming a no expense spared attitude to the restoration and maintenance of this motor car. This Dolomite stands out by its striking Art Deco forged alloy grill and handsome lights and horns at the front. We strongly advise that you take a very close look at the detail displayed throughout CWR 860; we are sure that it will delight. This magnificent pre-war Triumph is delightful to drive and is a true example of automotive art. Being VSCC recognised, it may be enjoyed at the VSCC events throughout the year. Offered at a very reasonable estimate this surely represents a rare opportunity with so few remaining today.

Triumph Super Nine Saloon

Lot # 300 (Sale Order: 99 of 153)

Make: TriumphYear: 1932Mileage: 4,211VIN: 91368Registration: KV 3479Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualItem Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Triumph Super Nines and Tens were developed from the earlier Super Sevens and were manufactured between 1932 and 1934. Larger in size to their predecessors, they were the first to use the Coventry Climax designed engine, which Triumph built under license in their Coventry factory. Saloons, sporting open bodied tourers and even some commercial vehicles were also produced on these chassis. This Triumph Super Nine has been in the same ownership since 2010 whereby it was lovingly cared for, attending many rallies with the Pre-1940 Triumph Motor Club. Sadly, the owner passed away and the car stood for 18 months. In remarkably original condition, the Triumph has recently had light commissioning works undertaken to maintain its running condition, with the Climax engine starting and running easily. The four-door coachwork presents well in blue and is complimented with a lovely patented brown leather interior and exquisite details such as the British Jaeger odometer and Roman numeral clock. A large history file accompanies the car and includes some interesting history, noted in a column from The Automobile in April 1992, invoices and photographs. Offered with no reserve, this Triumph Super Nine is one of 13 known surviving Super Nines displaying their original aluminium coachwork over an ash frame and awaits a new loving owner to enjoy, and perhaps, take this little car to the next level.

Lancia Furgoncino

Lot # 301 (Sale Order: 100 of 153)

Make: LanciaYear: 1947Mileage: 91,325VIN: 550-2021Registration: YXG 372Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 10000 - 12000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Lancia Ardea was a small family car produced by Lancia between 1939 and 1953. Its unusually short bonnet contained the smallest V4 configured engine ever commercialised in a small family car. After the Second World War, more than 8,500 commercial adaptations of the Ardea known as Furgoncini (light van versions) and the Camioncini (car based light commercials) were also produced. The Furgoncino, literally meaning, small van, had already been built in 1941, however, full production only begun in 1945. We are please to present, what is possibly, just one of two Lancia Ardea Furgoncinos known in the UK. This example, built in 1947, was imported into the UK from Italy and is now UK registered. Presented with dark grey over black coachwork, this little Lancia requires completion, the 903cc, V4 engine having been removed, however, this charming van would make an ideal promotional vehicle or just a weekend runabout. Please note, the engine is complete with the van. With fully running examples fetching more than double our estimate, we feel that this represents excellent value and is an ideal opportunity for Lancia and commercial vehicle enthusiasts alike.
