SAL do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and submitted a registration form. Proof of identification will be required in the form of a passport or driver’s licence, together with a recent utility bill showing your current address, before the registration process can be completed. 9.2 The Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller, up to the Reserve on the Lot. 9.3 The Seller may place a Reserve on any Lot when he consigns it to the Auction, and once placed it may not be changed without the written consent of SAL. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by SAL in writing. 9.4 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only SAL at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller. 9.5 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, SAL shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue. 9.6 SAL may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that SAL accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve. 10. Commission and Expenses 10.1 SAL shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 5% of the Hammer Price for vehicles and 10% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by SAL in writing (“Seller’s Commission”) plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to SAL. 10.2 The Seller acknowledges SAL’s right to retain the Buyer’s Premium payable by the Buyer. 11. Insurance 11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer.

SAL may endeavour to assist the Seller but SAL shall be under no obligation to do so, and shall not be under any obligation to institute proceedings in its own name. 12.5 In the absence of any written instructions from the Seller to SAL within 7 days of SAL having notified the Seller under clause 12.4 SAL shall be entitled to take any of the actions set out in clause 19.: 12.6 Any monies recovered by and paid to SAL in consequences of SAL taking one or more of the steps referred to in clause 19 shall be applied to the payment of: 12.6.1 legal or other costs incurred by SAL in connection with such steps;. 12.6.2 Expenses; 12.6.3 the Buyer’s Premium and the Seller’s Commission on the sale of the Lot; 12.6.4 any balance remaining shall be paid to SAL to the Seller (or, if appropriate, the Buyer).

Withdrawal Fees 13.1 The Seller may not withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If SAL is unable to sell the Lot at the Auction due to action or interference by the Seller, the Seller shall be liable to pay SAL 15% of the estimated value of the Lot plus VAT thereon together with Expenses.

Removal and Storage 14.1 The Seller shall arrange for the removal of any unsold Lot by 2pm the day following the Auction or by such other time as agreed by SAL. 14.2 Failure to remove any unsold Lot pursuant to clause 14.1 above will entitle SAL to charge the Seller a removal charge, storage fees, insurance and other expenses and any costs incurred at the following rates: Motor Vehicle: Removal - £195 plus VAT Storage - £15 per day plus VAT Automobilia: Removal – £25 plus VAT Storage – £5 per day plus VAT 15. The Buyer 15.1 The Buyer shall be the highest bidder at the Hammer Price.

1943 Willys Jeep

Lot # 202 (Sale Order: 26 of 92)

Make: FordModel: WILLYSYear: 1943Registration: 8942UChassis Number: MB290552Drive: Four Wheel Drive (4WD)Engine - Displacement: 2000ccEngine Number: MB348423Cylinders: 4-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: OtherEstimate: 19,000Estimate - Range: 19,000 - 22,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

In early 1940, the United States Department of War had determined it needed a light, cross-country, four-wheel drive reconnaissance vehicle and was anxious to have one in time for, what may possibly turn out to be, America's entry into World War II in Europe. The U.S. Army solicited proposals from domestic car manufacturers for a replacement for its existing, ageing, light motor vehicles, mainly motorcycles and sidecars, and some Ford Model Ts. Recognising the need to create standard specifications, the Army formalised its requirements on July 11, 1940, and submitted them to 135 U.S. automotive manufacturers.It's a matter of history that ultimately two manufacturers were successful, Willys with their MB (US quarter-ton Army truck) and later, Ford with their GPW (in production designated GP.)Impressively the time taken from conception and tenders being sent out, to the production lines starting to roll, was less than two hundred days, amazing for a vehicle that has stood the test of time and become an unlikely motoring icon. This ability to get things done quickly and well was the deciding factor in America being asked to produce military hardware in vast numbers and build hundreds of ships, arguably influencing the outcome of the Second World War.Considering the manner in which the Jeep was conceived and its role in warfare, it's remarkable that most of the finest classic car collections will include a Willys or Ford WWII Jeep, making the restored example offered here a candidate for serious consideration should one of these yardstick cars have, so far, eluded you, with these Jeep particularly popular at the Goodwood Revival and other motoring events.This consignor is a huge fan of the Land Rover Series I, but it is the rarer sight of the inspirational Willys Jeep, trundling down the road and parked purposefully at classic car shows that draws the attention. It is the Jeep that became the icon first, driven by victorious soldiers into newly liberated towns and villages during the closing stages of World War II. Cheered on by the ecstatic inhabitants, more used to seeing tanks and armoured cars, Jeeps with their open air insouciance posed no threat and were welcomed across the theatre of war, with the final curtain drawing to a close.This wonderful 1943 example, was first registered in the UK on the 20th March 1981, and our vendor informs us that it was left to a gentleman in a will along with a Humber Snipe. He decided to lend both vehicles to the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) Museum at Arborfield, Berkshire, where it remained on display for the last fifteen years until the museum was relocated to Wiltshire in 2015. Upon purchase by our vendor, he replaced the four wheel cylinders, front brake shoes, hub seals and water pump. Presented to auction with a Swansea V5C and an odometer reading of some 44,000 miles which is probably a touch academic on a vehicle of this nature.This "museum quality" Willys Jeep is generally in very good order and ready to do the things that Jeeps do. As a 1943 example, it almost certainly saw some action somewhere, which will make an interesting research project for the successful bidder.

1973 Lotus Elan +2s 130/5

Lot # 203 (Sale Order: 27 of 92)

Make: LotusModel: ElanYear: 1973Body Style: Sports CarExterior Color: YellowRegistration: CMJ 251LChassis Number: 73071521LEngine Number: P30347Engine - Displacement: 1558Estimate: 26,000Estimate - Range: 26,000 - 30,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

To our mind the Elan +2S 130/5 is the greatest car in the classic Lotus range. Not to discount the charming Elan Sprint DHC or the beautiful Elite S1, but, at prices north of £45,000 for the former and more than £70,000 for the latter the +2S punches well above its weight in looks and performance at a more modest outlay. Indeed, the recent sale of the ex-Ronnie Petersen +2S at £72,000 shows that we're not the only ones who recognise the potential of the sporty +2S.Resplendent in Lotus Yellow with Oatmeal leatherette seats, our car has been the subject of a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration by a skilled private restorer earning the car top marks from the folks at Paul Matty Sports Cars who supplied many of the parts used in the rebuild. Completed in 2015 after close to twenty years in slumber, this car now wants for nothing but the open road. Indeed, the car has covered just c1000 miles since its restoration and is performing faultlessly on song!Built from a new spider chassis, the car was fully stripped with many parts either replaced, or reconditioned and returned to the car during the build. The engine was fully stripped, the cylinder walls honed, and new rings put on. New seals, gaskets, water pump and timing chain were also added. The compression test before stripping confirmed that the pistons were in good order, so these were cleaned and refitted. The transmission specialist, Graham Boulton, who worked for Lotus on these cars in period, was entrusted to rebuild the 5-speed gearbox and diff in April 2014 before it was married to the car later in the restoration.Cosmetically, the car received a new dashboard, fully refurbished instruments (including an upgrade on the rev counter to accommodate an electronic ignition in the future), new carpets, original seats in oatmeal, and of course, a full repaint in the Lotus Yellow which so suits this era and style of sports car.Receipts and invoices which accompany the car total close to £10,000 for parts alone, although with labour charges plus the cost of buying the ‘donor' car it's easy to see where significantly more than £30,000 could be spent in trying to recreate such a car today. The current MOT is valid until February, 2017.An eyeful to behold and a delight to drive with predictable handling, pin-sharp steering, and a throaty roar from the big valve engine. The driving experience is 'pure Lotus' and unparalleled at this price level. The +2S 130/5 is as good as it gets when it comes to Elans, and this bright yellow example is as good a +2S as you'll find.

1990 Audi Rr Quattro Turbo 20v

The Audi 'Quattro' presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1980 represented a quantum leap in the repositioning of the Audi brand with their mission statement "Vorsprung durch Technik" having been applied literally. A new 20-valve engine was introduced in 1989 and with it, the Quattro became the last series production model to be given a controlled catalytic converter. After 11,452 Quattro cars had been built, production of the longest built Audi model ceased on 17 May 1991.This 20-valve Audi Quattro RR Turbo was supplied new to the UK by Audi and VW main agent Gilders of Sheffield on 25th April 1990. The first owner was a Mr M.Chappell and amongst the factory options he selected were heated seats, central locking, ABS, larger alternator, electric windows, ‘Quattro' design interior, and Chrystal Metallic Silver bodywork. Despite an ownership change to his business and then back to him personally, this is effectively a one owner from new Audi Quattro.The original service book shows evidence of regular service intervals and the car was last serviced by Audi specialists Swift Performance of Sheffield in April 2016. The service book, some invoices and a good number of previous MoT certificates substantiate a total mileage of a mere 16,231 miles.As one would expect for such a low mileage example, this Quattro is in show condition and is the best example we have ever seen. The paint is in fine order and the shut lines are superb. The engine bay is extremely clean and shows no signs of modifications with factory correct finishes, stickers, and fittings. The interior is in very good condition and is completely original.Finding an original 20v Quattro is hard enough in the current marketplace, but one showing just 16,231 miles is a truly special proposition. With BMW E30 M3s and Mercedes-Benz Evo models hitting new heights in recent years, it seems that the humble Quattro will inevitably follow in their footsteps. With world rally winning pedigree and a growing cult status, the demand for low-mileage Quattros is surely going to increase for many years to come.We encourage pre-sale inspections and prospective bidders should contact the office for further information on this true ‘best-of-breed' example. Your chance to relive the glorious 1980s in ‘the' car of its era!

In 1970, Ford opened their Advanced Vehicles Operation at Aveley in Essex and this was dedicated to the production of the Escort RS range. It also marked the formation of Ford's RS Dealer network to sell these products to a very eager public. For the first time ever, professional teams and privateers alike could compete on an equal footing, so even the 'clubman' equipped with his RS Parts catalogue had reason to be optimistic. The Ford Escort RS1600 BDA would dominate the World Rally Championship for several years and turn British and Scandinavian drivers into household names. During the next decade the continued success of the Escort rally program helped it remain as the best selling car in the UK, and in conjunction with the well-balanced and sporting nature of the rest of the range, even Ford Detroit were starting to refer to the British Isles as "treasure island".Offered here is an ex-Ford Press Car Department, RS1600 finished in Tawny with a black and grey interior. A copy of the green log book has 'Ford Motor Company, Warley' listed as the first owner until 8-8-1972 and the history file contains copies of period road tests. The complete line of ownership is recorded on file culminating in the penultimate owner, when in 2009 it was sold to Jeremy Smith, the AVO Owners Club registrar. He sold the RS to our vendor in 2013 making a total of five previous owners. In 1988 it was restored by Wharncliffe Motor Engineers and remains today as an excellent older restoration. It still retains its original BDA engine, air box and chassis plate, and importantly its Chelmsford registration synonymous with all significant Ford Public Affairs Department press cars.At this guide, the RS1600 represents a great opportunity to own an important piece of Ford history and a homologation car that defined rallying in the seventies.

Alfa Romeo introduced the 1600cc version of the Giulietta at the Auto Salon Geneva in March 1963, and it would now become known as the Giulia SS. With a drag coefficient of only 0.28, its ''Disco Volante'' styling by Bertone was years before its time and was regarded by many as the prettiest small-capacity coupé ever to be built. The pure aerodynamics applied to the design resulted in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale having very low wind noise at high speeds and a top speed of over 120mph. This was all obtained from the 1570cc twin cam engine with twin Weber 45DCOE carburettors producing 112bhp.Chassis number AR380343 is a 1600cc Giulia SS that is 1 of just 1,339 examples ever made. The stunning Bertone coachwork is finished in silver and the paintwork is described as in "fantastic order". The previous owner purchased this car in Paris in 2003 and it formed part of his large collection in Germany. In 2010 the car was restored to a very high standard and there are photographs of the restoration in the history file. At the time of the restoration, the interior was wisely not ‘overdone' and appears to be largely original.Mechanically the car performs very well and the engine pulls well through all the five gears. The glorious Alfa twin-cam engine sounds superbly raspy and the overall driving experience is very special indeed. The engine bay is presented in fine order and this Alfa Romeo has clearly been the subject of significant expenditure over the years.Supplied with previous German registration document (Fahrzeugbrief), old Carte Grise from pre-2003 ownership in France and a current MoT certificate, this Alfa SS is ready for UK registration if required, with a NOVA document and all the paperwork required. This is a very good and rare SS Alfa Romeo that is a pleasurable and rewarding drivers' car given its light controls and competition derived handling. Very few classics have this ability to tour so effortlessly, efficiently and in such style!

1959 Jaguar Xk150 3.4 S Drophead Coupe

The XK150 S was introduced in 1958 and is widely regarded as the culmination of Jaguar's engineering achievements with the XK series. Indeed, the specification of the XK150 S undoubtedly paved the way for the E-Type that replaced it in 1961. The "S" boasted triple SU carburettors, a revised Harry Weslake-modified cylinder head, and a manual 4-speed overdrive transmission. Performance was seriously impressive for 1958 with an enhanced output of 250bhp and a top speed of 132 mph.This Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupe is one of just 37 right-hand drive examples ever produced. According to the Heritage Certificate, the car was manufactured on 29th May 1959 and delivered to Henlys of London a little over three weeks later. The numerous service records on file date back to June 1961 and show that the Jaguar was previously road registered as 'XMT 150' and 'MRA 363' before acquiring its current '1552 MW' number plate the following year. Invoices in the history issued by F.W. Mays & Co. Ltd of Dorking, Surrey, show previous owners in the 1960s including Messrs Aird, Grogan and Lines.The Jaguar spent the next twenty-odd years in the possession of Chelsea resident, Jonathan Morse Esq. It was entrusted to his neighbouring Burgess Garage of Drayton Gardens, London SW10 between November 1970 and June 1975. The 150 benefited from routine maintenance and an extensive engine overhaul at 39,190 miles (reground crankshaft, rebored block, new timing chain, pistons, bearings, valves etc in January 1971). Extensive paperwork on file shows significant maintenance carried out by Mr Morse during the 1980s, including regular oil and fluid changes as well as new disc brakes in 1983, a Falcon stainless steel exhaust in 1988, overhauled springs in 1988 and fresh wishbone bushes in 1989.Further renovation work took place in the early 1990s, including various chassis repairs (new L/H sill, steel floor / tunnel, battery boxes and L/H pillar / box channel etc) undertaken by Kat's of Kimpton, Herts. A complete strip and overhaul of the car's four-speed manual gearbox and overdrive units by Alan R. George of Clunderwen, Dyfed took place at 77,534 miles. Further invoices on file in this period show the fitting of a new clutch master / slave cylinders, reconditioned fuel pumps and a replacement petrol tank.The XK150 'S' was then sold to its next registered keeper, N. Lawrence Esq of Wayford, Crewkerne by Camberley Marine & Sportscars Ltd on 6th July 1993. Having part-exchanged an Aston Martin DB5 to help fund its purchase, Mr Lawrence commissioned the Jaguar Restoration Centre of Bridport, Dorset to rejuvenate the XK150 'S' shortly thereafter. Fitted with fresh door skins and sidelight pods etc, the car was refinished in its original livery / trim combination, with a full body-off respray by Wren Classics of Shaftesbury, Dorset in stunning Pearl Grey with red leather upholstery and a black hood.Sporting refurbished chrome work and replacement wire wheels, the car also gained a new mohair hood envelope and crank damper in 1995 and 1998 respectively. Wren Classics carried out some further work including some paintwork and brake system fettling during May 2003, while various old MoT certificates show that the Jaguar's odometer reading rose from 77,536 miles to 79,681 miles between May 1992 and September 2009.Bought by its most recent keeper from JD Classics, the car benefited from preparation and a thorough overhaul by JD Classics prior to being sold. Believed to have covered just over 80,000 miles from new, this Drophead Coupé's last major outing was a 500-mile round trip to the Goodwood Revival. Boasting matching engine, chassis and body numbers, this ultra-rare, home market XK150 'S' 3.4 Drophead Coupe is offered for sale with operating, maintenance, and service handbook (plus supplement), numerous bills / invoices and has been maintained to the very highest standards.

2008 Ferrari F430 Spider - Manual

Manufactured from 2004 until 2009, the Ferrari F430 was the successor to the enormously successful 360M. According to its creators, the F430 was at least 70 % new compared with the 360. It had a new engine, a new F1 gearbox, a new diff and a brand-new chassis, and although the styling is obviously reminiscent of the 360M’s, in reality, it’s pretty much a ground-up design. Only the bonnet, doors, and roof were carried over; the rest, even the door mirrors, were all new and largely the work of Pininfarina, overseen by Ferrari’s design chief Frank Stephenson. The F430’s complex variable-valve-timing system is also lifted straight from the Enzo’s V12, and as ever there is dry-sump lubrication, a very high compression ratio (11.3:1), a variable airflow plenum chamber. and an enormous electronic brain making the decisions in the form of not one, but two, Bosch Motronic ME7 ECUs. At 483bhp it has a significant 21 % more power than the 360. Its fabulous 4.3-litre V8 will rocket this very sleek new Ferrari from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds and on to a maximum speed in excess of 196mph. Having been designed initially with a later convertible in mind, the arrival of the Spider in 2005 was no surprise. Weighing only a few pounds more than the Berlinetta and having been designed with the aid of the company's F1 aerodynamicists, the Spider is just as slippery and its top speed is only a few miles an hour less. The ingenious electric soft-top mechanism works really quickly and makes its predecessor seem almost ponderous by comparison. A soft top was chosen as opposed to a Mercedes-style folding steel panel as Ferrari wanted its glorious red-top engine to remain in view. Offered here is a UK, right-hand drive F430 Spider that’s fitted with the rare and desirable manual gearbox. Presented in the striking combination of Grigio Alloy (Light Blue/Silver) with Crema hide, this car has covered 13,100 miles since leaving Maranello in 2008. It has a full service history having been looked after by Graypaul with the most recent service on 26/07/2016 and the history file contains a comprehensive list of the Ferrari's maintenance from new.Factory fitted options include ceramic brakes with red calipers, coloured dashboard, electric seats and the Navtrak anti-theft system. Not only that, but this car comes with its full Ferrari tool kit, tyre pressure and puncture kit, Ferrari car cover, seat covers, wired-in battery conditioner and still has one year left on its Ferrari power warranty. This low-mileage 430 Spider has clearly been well cared for and being well optioned, particularly with the manual gearbox, is a very desirable car.Photo credit: Auto Italia Magazine.

The Citroen DS was introduced by the French company in 1955 and produced in various derivatives over the next 20 years, becoming the company's most successful model with over 1.5 million sold by the end of production in 1975. The DS was designed by an Italian and became instantly recognisable for its aerodynamic and futuristic shape and innovative technology, including a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension.This truly stunning, right-hand drive DS is presented in period white (Blanc Meije) bodywork with original Red Targa upholstery. It has just one previous recorded keeper, the CEO of the supplying Citroen dealership, and was originally registered with the number plate WRC 1.This unrivaled European show winner has collected multiple Concours trophies since 1987 and possesses its own display cabinets that bulge with, in excess of, 200 awards. Crowned National Champion at both the Welsh Benson & Hedges Concours and Popular Classics Roadshow, the Citroen also achieved victories at the Scottish Benson & Hedges Concours, was an NEC show winner and a national Meguiars Concours display car. It featured prominently at the Paris Concours and Citroen World Championship, not to mention its television career with appearances on both Top Gear and Fifth Gear.The quality of the restoration is truly exceptional! The car is known on the world Citroen circuit, having won Concours d'Elegance events in eight European countries and has even been offered a permanent place at the national Citroen Museum in France.Documentation supporting the car's history fills a number of storage boxes, full photographic restoration folders and at least 150 magazine features will accompany the car. Words are not adequate to convey the condition of this important piece of motoring history, it simply must be seen to be believed.

Unveiled in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Continental GT was a different animal altogether. Very importantly, the car differed significantly from the previous Continental R & T models in terms of its concept: although much of the car is hand assembled, it is a mass-produced car made in significantly larger numbers. It isnot a coachbuilt car. As a result, the price at launch was significantly less than the Continental R (approximately half) and this immediately exposed the car to an entirely different and much wider customer base as a more affordable car.The Crewe-built car's numbers were impressive with twin-turbo VAG 6.0 litre W12 engines, developed in the VW Phaeton and stillborn W12 sports car, producing. 552bhp and 479lb ft torque. This prodigious output was fed through a six-speed automatic box from the new A8, and distributed by the Quattro four-wheel drive system. 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph were significant for a car of this stature.This 2005 Continental GT is finished in the sophisticated colour combination of Cypress Green with Saddle Tan hide and Burr Walnut facings. It has covered just over 13,000miles and has a full history. The Pre-Delivery inspection was carried out in February 2005 at 48 miles, the car was serviced in August 2007 at 5,332 miles and again in September 2009 at 8,102 miles.The vendor describes the Coachwork, Paintwork, Engine, Transmission, Electrics and Trim as excellent. (he actually said 'Perfect' but we are not legally able to use that term). The only item of maintenance required is to fit fresh batteries to the Tyre-Pressure Monitors. It's fitted with a Tracker, Phone base and Sat-Nav with a full set of European and Scandinavian maps.This stunning Continental GT is only just 'run-in' and at this guide, in this condition, there is no better way to experience the first flush of Bentley ownership. Supplied with UK V5c and a fresh MoT.

Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of its elegant Pininfarina lines and legendary front mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics, following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona'. With modern styling cues, a 5.5-litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a seriously quick motor car, The six-speed gearbox combined with a slightly more even torque curve meant that power delivery was a little less frenetic, and excellent weight distribution combined with the 550's delightful road manners were all factors in the car becoming the perfect 'European Grand Tourer'. This UK, RHD 550 was delivered new to the Isle of Man from official Ferrari dealers H.R.Owen in January 1998 and has covered a mere 1,977 miles since then. The original bill of sale included in the history file confirms the purchase price new in 1998 was £144,927. The car was delivered to Stratstone in December 2001 for its first service with 244 miles indicated and they completed the first cam-belt change during that visit. It may have seemed a little unnecessary to change the belts at such a low mileage but it was three years old and no expense was ever spared in the maintenance of this cossetted Ferrari. A further five years passed when Graypaul welcomed the 550 in for its second service with 261 miles on the odometer. Again cam-belts were replaced at this service (despite the fact that it had only covered 17 miles since the last change) and Graypaul continued to service the car every year from 06-09. In 2009, 319 was the tantalising mileage indicated when the current owner bought the car through Graypaul in August of that year to become its second owner. As part of the purchase, he bought and fitted a new set of tyres and went out to enjoy the unique thrill of a V12 front engine Ferrari and continue the process of 'running-in' the eleven-year-old car. One year later, in July 2010, our vendor took the car to the main Ferrari agent Meridien Modena in Lyndhurst for a service having covered 1,168 miles. Invoices in the history file show a further service in August 2011 at Meridien Modena with 1,454 miles showing and then in July 2013 they also replaced the cam-belts along with the regular service. The next and last service was completed in October of last year and the car has since resided in our vendor's significant collection enjoying the comforts of dry storage – as it always has been under his ownership. Reported to have never been driven in the rain (anecdotal) this very special car is certainly one of the finest examples we have ever seen and has clearly been meticulously maintained. With the incredibly low mileage shown, this may well represent an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a rare Italian icon that continues to offer significant investment potential in the front engine Ferrari market.

1967 Jaguar E-type Series 1 4.2 Coupé 2+2

The Jaguar E-type is an icon of British automotive history, and it isn't difficult to see why. Sensational looks, the ability to reach close to 150mph and all for half the price of an Aston or a Ferrari at the time. Jaguar's sports car was an instant sensation as its curvaceous good looks - equally good in roadster or fixed-head forms - were clearly related to the Le Mans-winning D-types of the 1950s, sculpted by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer. Jaguar continued to develop the E-type throughout its life. The first major results of this program of improvements became obvious in 1964 when the newly enlarged 4.2-litre XK engine was installed and, although maximum power remained unchanged at 265bhp, torque was usefully increased, improving driveability. Other improvements included the arrival of a fully synchronised Moss gearbox and twin SU petrol pumps. A Lucas alternator was adopted along with negative-earth electrics, a pre-engaged starter was designed and a Lockheed vacuum servo replaced the Kelsey Haynes unit originally fitted. The seats were redesigned, being plusher and pleated, whilst an all-black instrument panel replaced the original aluminum one. A 2+2 version of the Coupé was added in 1966 and this was some nine inches longer with marginally different roof angles. This is a UK, RHD matching numbers, manual, 2+2 that has been meticulously restored by classic car specialist Robin Lackford in 2009 to 2010. The restoration was thorough and no expense spared with the car taken back to bare metal, thoroughly prepared and superbly resprayed in its original Jaguar Cream. During the restoration, we are informed Jaguar Heritage were consulted on a regular basis to make sure the car was as close to factory specification as possible. Clearly, this input has been effective as ‘LDF 131E’ looks spot-on and would reward close inspection. This is unquestionably a Concours standard restoration. The odometer is showing 68,000 miles, which is believed genuine, but cannot be warranted.Since the restoration was finished in late 2010, our vendor has enjoyed, loved and cherished his E-Type and used it as a good classic should be. It has formed part of his significant collection enjoying the benefits of dry storage and he has tended to use it only on dry days as is evident if you have a look underneath. Cream is a rare colour for an E-type these days and it really does suit the longer car's slightly different lines. This is a superb opportunity to acquire an incredibly pretty and expertly restored, potential Concours winning 2+2 E-Type Coupé.

The genesis for the line of tuned Mustangs that subsequently followed, was the early production 289ci High Performance (Hi-Po) Mustang. This was the car that Carroll Shelby took and rebadged as the GT350. Only 535 of these early K-Code cars were produced with many destined for Shelby's Los Angeles workshops. These early cars were produced with performance in mind with the Hi-Po 289 engine, no power steering, revised suspension, optional front discs and with a manual 4-speed gearbox. Only one per cent of Mustangs produced in 1965 were 289 Hi-Po examples, making it a very rare car before the marketing department realised the potential of badging it as a GT.Offered here is a truly stunning restored Ford Mustang GT fastback finished in Silver Blue Metallic (Silver Lakes) with White vinyl upholstery incorporating blue panels complimenting the deluxe interior with 'Pony' trim. The restoration was conducted by Cars Ltd of New Zealand to a world class standard and the finished result is as close to production as possible of this rare ‘K' Code car. The Hi-Po 289ci V8 engine was rebuilt to original ‘K' code specification as was every component of this remarkable restoration. The history file contains editorial from New Zealand Classic Car (January 2012) that charts the complete story line of the discovery and revival of this Mustang to the winner of numerous Concours events in New Zealand.The Ford Mustang fastback is an icon and this example would certainly be hard to better.

In a nod to the most beautiful Bentley of them all, the first Continental since 1966 used the 'R' suffix to recall memories of the R-type. The name wasn't taken in vain, for this was also the first individually-styled Bentley since the Sixties. Launched in 1991, the Bentley Continental R was a large, ultra-exclusive, luxury coupé made by Bentley until 2003. It was the fastest, most expensive, and most powerful Bentley of its day and was also the most expensive production car in the world at launch. It was substantially more streamlined than the contemporary Bentley saloons and the stalwart 6.75 litre V8 engine was boosted in power.In the 1996 model year (chassis numbers between 53001 and 53514), the basic Continental R was priced at £187,354 in the UK. In this year, some of the most significant changes since the launch of the car were introduced, notably the inclusion of the liquid-cooled chargecooler as standard, along with improved engine management ensuring a better throttle response, an increase in fuel efficiency and, digitally controlled, turbo over-boost. It also meant an increase in power output, and a change in policy by Rolls Royce as this was the first time performance figures were officially released by the manufacturer, departing from a long tradition of describing performance as ‘adequate' or ‘sufficient'. This was probably because the figures were so impressive: 385 bhp at 4000rpm and torque of 550lbft, peaking at only 2000rpm, and available up to 4000rpm. No other production car in the world at the time delivered such levels of torque. 0-60 mph was now officially quoted by Rolls Royce as ‘sub 6 seconds' and a top speed of 155 mph. The 1996 model year also saw revised 17" alloy wheels and steering wheel tilt adjustment for the first time. This was electrically adjustable and so could now be set as part of the seat and wing mirror memory positions.The car presented here is a 1996 Continental R ‘Jack Barclay' by Mulliner Park Ward. This very special car is number 8 of only 10 examples specifically commissioned in 1996 by the world's largest and oldest Bentley dealership Jack Barclay of London. Known as a Dealer Limited Edition and ensuring maximum exclusivity, these 10 cars are highly sought-after. If you were fortunate enough to be able to buy one in 1996, the original purchase price was £196,408. As when new, the car looks resplendent in special order Silver Dollar paint and features the later Azure black leather seats (giving a much better driving position and sense of sitting within the car). The car features lowered suspension, widened bodywork, a re-profiled front air dam and an upgraded interior. This particular car's overall condition is very good, and we're told the driving experience is "as good as you'd hope for".The car is accompanied by a copy of its original build sheets from Bentley, a thorough servicing history and many invoices. Servicing has been appropriate, having been back to main-agent Broughtons Bentley (between 1996 and 1998), then at Jack Barclay Bentley (1999 - 2002 & 2004), marque specialists Wraith Motors (2003 & 2005 - 2011) and marque specialist Sunningdale (2013 - present). In 2013, a previous owner invested £13,645 with Royce Service & Engineering of Surrey on maintenance and Bentley-approved upgrades to the car. As is common practice, these sanctioned upgrades modernised the car cosmetically, being factory-issued on cars from 1998. These included wing vents, a matrix grille, mesh grills under the lights, clear indicator lenses, and the fitting of a wood-rim steering wheel.This ultra-rare Bentley has covered 67,000 serene miles and been enjoyed and driven, as these cars were designed to do, but has been fastidiously maintained. Modern-era Bentleys deserve to have the renaissance they richly deserve and this beautiful Continental R ‘Jack Barclay', whilst being competitively guided, opens the door into a very exclusive club. Now ready to be enjoyed by a new owner, this is one not to be missed, and has the potential to be a shrewd investment.

1960 Aston Martin DB4 'Series II'

Lot # 216 (Sale Order: 40 of 92)

Make: Aston MartinModel: DB4Year: 1960Registration: 7777 DAChassis Number: DB4/312/REngine - Displacement: 3670ccEngine Number: 370/396Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate: 275,000Estimate - Range: 275,000 - 325,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Aston Martin DB4 was launched at the London Motor Show in 1958 and was the first of the very successful DB4/5/6 line-up, featuring elegant coachwork designed by Touring of Milan. The handmade aluminum bodywork panels were mounted on a steel tube frame, using the Superleggera (super light) method of construction. All round disc brakes were fitted, made first by Dunlop and later on by Girling, and all DB4s were powered by a new six-cylinder, all aluminium 3670cc engine, designed by Tadek Marek and developing around 240bhp.The DB4 offered excellent performance for the time, with a top speed of 140mph and 60mph arriving in 8.5 seconds. The gearbox was produced by Aston's owner, David Brown, and a Vantage engine was also available, offering even higher power outputs. There were five series of the DB4, each series introduced changes and developments to the original Series One cars. The model was aptly summarised by 'Autosport': "Performance, controllability, and comfort have been combined in the Aston Martin DB4 to make it a highly desirable car: one in which long journeys can be completed very quickly indeed with the minimum of risk or discomfort and the maximum of pleasure."This Series II Aston Martin DB4 was supplied new on 27th May 1960 to Cyril Williams Motors in Wolverhampton and registered with its current registration of 7777 DA. A copy of the factory build sheet states the car was supplied in Ming Blue with an Off-White interior and fitted with a Motorola radio. The gearbox was replaced under guarantee at the works on the 13th July 1960 and it was acquired by its second owner on 22nd January 1962, a Major J.T. Macfarlane of Bournemouth. He sold the car to a Mr. G. Bilton of Abingdon in 1964 and the car then passed through a number of keepers. It was acquired by the last registered keeper on 22nd May 1986 and it was his pride and joy for nearly thirty years until it was sold to our vendor.A very large history file accompanies the car detailing ownership changes, copies of the factory build and worksheets, along with a record of all works and bills from 1986 onwards. In addition, there are a large number of MoT certificates dating all the way back to 1975. The car was maintained by Aston Martin up until 1964 with a mileage of 56,675.According to the history file, a new engine was fitted in 1966, this reads 370/396 on the car today, and was a crated engine fitted by Eton Manor Group in Slough. A letter from Aston Martin on 5th February 1973, confirms that the engine is an original DB4 unit.Presented in highly original condition, the bodywork was re-sprayed in the early 1980s to its current colour of Fiesta Red. The interior has been preserved beautifully and is almost completely original. The carpets are totally original, as is the radio and the seats, whilst slightly cracked, are still finished in the original Off White leather.Supplied with an extremely rare Aston Martin DB4/DB4 GT workshop manual, DB4 Instruction book, DB4 parts book, current MoT certificate and a huge amount of paperwork, this DB4 is the perfect candidate for a restoration to the buyer's specification. Equally, the car is eminently usable as it is with a fresh MoT or could be transformed to fast-road or racing specification. An increasingly difficult to find blank canvas for its next owner, this Aston Martin offers superb originality and the chance to own a true motoring icon.

1974 Lamborghini Jarama S

Lot # 217 (Sale Order: 41 of 92)

Make: LamborghiniModel: JaramaYear: 1974Registration: NOVA'dChassis Number: 10608Engine Number: 41315Engine - Displacement: 3929ccTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualCondition: NewEstimate: 125,000Estimate - Range: 125,000 - 150,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Born from a desire to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the American market, the Jarama was essentially a redesigned Islero built to comply with strict new USA safety rules. Ferruccio Lamborghini named the Jarama after a district in Spain renowned for breeding fighting bulls and first showed his new prize bull at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show.Sources vary for accuracy, but our research suggests that just 327 Jaramas were manufactured. Of these 177 were the ‘standard' Jarama produced from 1970 to 1972 and 150 were the Jarama 'S' produced from 1972 to 1975. Of these, only 23 were built in right-hand drive, and of these, just 18 were the Jarama ‘S' model as offered here today. A rare beastie indeed....This particular right-hand drive example, being chassis number #10608, was completed at the factory on the 24th May 1974 and sold new to the UK. Its factory build number was 305, suggesting it was one of the last cars manufactured.The previous owner acquired #10608 in the UK in 2008 and had it immediately shipped to his home in Australia where a total nut and bolt 'Concours' standard restoration was completed. Absolutely everything was either restored or rebuilt and no stone was left unturned to make this car "as good as it could be".Painted in Grigio Avalon the result is simply stunning and really suits the car. The interior was retrimmed in black and provides a lovely contrast to the paintwork. During the course of the restoration, the owner made the decision to make some subtle improvements to the car to make it a little more usable. These improvements included cleverly modifying the seat runners to create a bit more headroom, fitting a modern rotary air conditioning compressor, a modern improved cooling system with electric fans, electronic ignition, central locking, hidden speakers and an iPod dock. The owner also opted to have the Campagnolo 'knock-off' wheels from a Miura fitted which complete the look perfectly.The car has a known and documented history from new and a substantial history file accompanies it which includes an owner's manual, an Espada / Jarama engine manual, parts manual, original sales brochures and other literature as well as a tool kit and two sets of keys.We understand it has traveled fewer than 2,000 miles since its restoration was completed, and all the post-restoration niggles have now been resolved so this striking Lamborghini is now ready to be used and enjoyed. The car was much admired at the Festival of Speed, having been invited to take part in the Cartier Style et Luxe on the Cartier Lawn, one of the most famous Concours d'Elegance in the world.We love how unusual this rare Lamborghini is, and how different a statement it makes in a similar price bracket to say, a similarly restored Series II E-Type or Mercedes SL Pagoda, of which, choices are plentiful. Our hunch is that your individuality today could be seriously well-rewarded tomorrow...

1992 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE

The silver Italdesign styling exercise that eventually became the Esprit was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in 1972 as a concept car and was designed around a stretched Lotus Europa chassis. It was among the first of designer Giorgetto Giugiaro's polygonal "folded paper" designs. Originally, the name Kiwi was proposed, but in keeping with the Lotus tradition of having all car model names start with the letter "E", the name became Esprit.In 1987, Lotus embarked upon a masterful in-house restyling by Peter Stevens and this new "Stevens" Esprit Turbo became available from the start of the 1988 model year. Mechanically the car was virtually identical to the previous year and utilised the same 2.2-litre turbocharged engine, as well as a revised four-wheel independent suspension. The model also played a starring role in films such as ‘Pretty Woman', ‘Basic Instinct' and ‘Taking Care of Business'.This Lotus Esprit Turbo SE was first registered in the UK in 1992 and has covered an incredible 1,800 miles from new. The car was registered to a Ms A. Price in 1992 and was safely secured in her ownership for many years, covering very little mileage. Previous MoT certificates show that in 2005 this Esprit had covered just 379 miles. In 2006 it had driven 989 miles, in 2009 1,355 miles and in 2013 just 1,764 miles. Whilst not a complete set of certificates, they do help to substantiate the incredible mileage of this car.As one would expect, the aesthetic condition of this ‘high wing' Esprit is simply superb. The bodywork is finished in its original colour of Flat Black and retains excellent panel fit and paint quality. The original cream leather hide interior has been preserved in stunning condition and the cockpit is a delight to behold. The engine bay and underside are in fine order and the car has been exercised in recent weeks by the current owner.There are service bills and stamps in the original service book from marque specialist Paul Matty Sports Cars in 2005, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. In addition, the history file boasts an original Lotus Esprit leather booklet with all manuals, booklets, and a torch.This must be one of the lowest mileage Esprit Turbos in existence and is certainly the most original car we have ever inspected. A true collector's item, one would be hard-pressed to find another in such remarkable condition.

1915 American La France Speedster

Lot # 219 (Sale Order: 43 of 92)

Make: American LaFranceModel: SpeedsterYear: 1915Chassis Number: 6595Engine - Displacement: 14600Cylinders: 12-Cyl.Estimate: 70,000Estimate - Range: 70,000 - 90,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

American LaFrance started out as the LaFrance Manufacturing Company which focused on building and selling hand-pulled and hand pumped equipment designed to help put out fires. They subsequently developed various fire appliances and equipment utilizing steam for its power and such was their success that, in 1903, the American LaFrance Fire Engine Company was established in Elmira, New York. At this time, the internal combustion engine was gaining popularity and usefulness within a number of industries, and naturally, American LaFrance kept an eye on the new engine while it continued to produce its steam, horse-drawn and hand-powered fire equipment. However, it wouldn't be long before the benefits of the new engine would become apparent and inevitably the company started building engine-driven, fire appliances. A natural progression from this would be the construction and assembly of automobiles at a later date, however, the name American LaFrance will always be synonymous with decades of building ever more modern fire engines and emergency vehicles finally closing in 2014.Now going off at a complete tangent, motor racing around the 1907 to 1912 period was hugely popular, not just in Europe but also in the USA. The 1907 Peking to Paris race had been followed closely in the States and was the inspiration for the following years New York to Paris Race (heading West). The race was of international interest with daily front page coverage by the New York Times (a co-sponsor of the race with the Parisian newspaper Le Matin). Apparently, 250,000 spectators arrived to watch the early stages and the significance of the event extended far beyond the race itself. Also generating interest in America was the 1908 French Grand Prix held at Dieppe. Crowds lined the 48-mile route for this 10 lap race which was won by Christian Lautenschlager in a Mercedes. Nowadays we tend to think of cars from this period as quirky museum pieces but for this event there were 'works' teams from, Mercedes, Opel, Fiat, Benz, Itala, Germain, Clément Beynard, Renault, Lorraine-Dietrich, Austin, and others. This event prompted the inauguration of the 1910 American Grand Prize which was effectively a Grand Prix held on closed roads outside Savannah, Georgia and again there were a dozen factory supported teams mainly from Europe.So when all the Europeans had gone home there was a tremendous upsurge of interest in racing cars round and round but no cars in which to do it. Cinder tracks, grass tracks and ovals sprung up everywhere and racing cars were built from anything you could find, with varying levels of success.If you haven't quite worked out where this is all going, it's about to become clear. The requirements for a fire engine then (and for many years to come) were a long rigid chassis that could take the weight of the purpose-built body, water tanks, hoses, ladders etc. and about 10 men. The engine had to be sufficiently powerful to get all the above to the scene of the fire as quickly as possible. American LaFrance did this well and they had a reputation for design and engineering. However, as technology progressed in terms of fire fighting equipment, new bodies were designed and popped onto the chassis which didn't really need to change much. That meant that there were occasionally older chassis available for sale and this was a fantastic opportunity for would-be racers. A long, really strong chassis, a 14-litre engine with enough torque to move Idaho a couple of feet, brakes, gearbox, and wheels, etc and all of it low mileage (50miles a week) and maintained on a daily basis by blokes with nothing else to do but wait for a 'shout'. All you had to do was build a basic body similar to the ones you'd seen at the American Grand Prize, use a beer barrel as a tank and strap on a couple of chairs from Grandad's porch. These cars were put together all over America and even American LaFrance got in on the act when they introduced their own version sporting a massive, 855 cu.in. T-head six-cylinder engine producing a whopping 100bhp and christened the Speedster, a term which became widely used for all vehicles of this type.The amazing Speedster on offer today has only recently been finished but is not strictly a rebuild, a restoration or a replication, it's more of an individual creation in the style of the 1916 Speedsters, an 'homage' to the early days when cars like this were thundering around cinder ovals all over mid-America. However, most importantly, it is built on a 1915 American LaFrance lorry chassis, the same ''long frame” used as a basis for their legendary fire engines, and is powered by the correct 1915, 6-cylinder, 14.6-litre petrol engine. After the old lorry body was thrown away the chassis was completely stripped, repaired, jigged and powder coated. The engine, gearbox, running gear, steering, brakes and wheels were also treated with the same reverence and using absolutely as many of the original parts as pos

The original Ford Escort was introduced at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968 and soon became a commercial success as an attractive small family saloon. Ford had, for a number of years, used active participation in motor sport as a means of getting their showroom doors swinging on a Monday morning, and the new Escort was to prove no exception. Popular at club level in every discipline of the sport, it was at International level that the name 'Escort' became synonymous with winning. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s / early 1970s, and arguably, the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally being driven by Finnish legend Hannu Mikkola. This result and the ensuing acclaim prompted Ford to produce the famous Escort Mexico (1.6 L 'Kent'-engine) road version in honour of the rally car.One step up from the Mexico, the Escort 'RS1600' was developed using an engine that was essentially a detuned Formula 3 unit designated BDA (Belt Drive 'A' Series). Both the Mexico and RS1600 were built simultaneously at the now famous Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) facility located at the Aveley Plant in South Essex. As well as higher performance engines and sports suspension, these models featured strengthened body shells, making them ideal for rallying.Even today, Mark I Escorts are still very popular in the historic rallying scene with their reputation for a great balance of power and handling, making them true driver's cars. The BDA engine emits a distinctive and appealing 'growl', which can be heard for quite a distance when the vehicle is being driven hard. Estimates suggest that only around 1,137 RS1600s were produced in total.We are informed by the vendor that YKP 877J, one of the earliest known remaining examples of an original RS1600 BDA 'Twin-Cam', was the subject of a full bare metal restoration around five years ago and was rebuilt with the focus on 'period' accuracy. A photographic record is included in the sale of this car and clearly illustrates the painstaking attention to detail involved in this car's restoration. It's finished in Sebring Red, a slightly orange colour exclusive to the RS1600 and Capri RS3100, and the paintwork is smooth and blemish free. The car is as bright and detailed underneath as it is elsewhere, while all shut lines appear excellent and the car sits squarely on its original steel wheels. With the emphasis on authenticity, all replacement parts, where possible, were genuine Ford NOS (New Old Stock) and the period detail is difficult to fault. The rear chrome bumper still even has the correct "Ford" sticker on it. An absolutely correct unmarked interior, and correct dash and instruments all merely emphasise the effort that has been put into getting it right. The spotless and leak free BDA 'Twink' makes all the right noises and sits in an engine bay that simply illustrates the quality of this restoration.We understand that the car has a current odometer reading of around 29,000 miles but it has only covered just over 100 miles in the last five years since restoration. YKP 877J is in beautiful condition throughout and is now offered with a fresh MOT. The market for "Fast Fords" shows no sign of slowing down and we would respectfully suggest that it will be hard to find a better example of a Mk.1 Escort RS1600 anywhere.

1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello

Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. Following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', the 550 Maranello is inevitability compared to its forbear. However few front-engined Ferraris have quite justified that comparison quite like the 550 Maranello.Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, small cabin and truncated tail. Classic Ferrari styling cues include a bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel-arches recalling the great competizione Ferraris of the past, whilst the rear incorporates Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 developed 485bhp at 7,000rpm. The power-train was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, while the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.The six-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, whilst still capable of almost 200 mph. With styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous stowage and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, the 550 Maranello really is the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.In 2004, EVO magazine published a 'Greatest Driver's Cars' feature that set the 550 Maranello against the Porsche 911 GT3, Honda NSX-R and Pagani Zonda C12S. The Ferrari won. EVO stated 'As with all great cars, there's no one facet that dominates the experience. Yes, the engine is mighty, but the chassis is its equal. There's never been a supercar that's so exploitable and so rounded in its capabilities.'The car offered here is a 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello in right-hand drive and with a manual gear-box. In the striking combination of Argento Nurburgring Silver paint and Bordeaux Red leather, this car is a fine example. Delivered new to Maranello Sales Ltd. of Egham in Surrey, the car is accompanied by a comprehensive service history. The original servicing schedule booklet, which forms part of a complete book-pack housed in a Ferrari leather-bound wallet, shows a full complement of stamps. These service stamps are from main dealers and for the last ten years - the period of time for which our conscientious vendor has owned the car - are from the very reputable marque specialist Neal Lucas Sports Cars of Camberley. Neal's close and regular association with this car has meant it has always been well-maintained, with required parts or servicing suggested on a proactive basis over the years, meaning the car is in fine health and performs particular strongly. A recent comprehensive service, including cam-belts, was carried out only a few months ago. All of this work is backed up by a large file of invoices and a complete series of old MoT certificates, helping validate the current mileage of 55,600.The car has been enjoyed and driven, as these GT cars were designed to do, but has been fastidiously maintained and garaged by our vendor for the last ten years. Front-engined V12 manual Ferraris continue to have the renaissance they richly deserve and this beautiful 550 Maranello, whilst being competitively guided, opens the door into a very exclusive club. Now ready to be enjoyed by a new owner, this is one not to be missed.

This 1982 Ferrari 512 BBi was sold new by Samocar in Rome, Italy and was subsequently shipped to the United States as a ‘grey' import and purchased by a Mr R.Sirota. The Carfax shows that the car was inspected in October 1998 with an odometer reading of 3,000 miles. In December 1999, with 5,184 miles indicated, it came into the possession of a Mr. R.Stada and subsequently. in 2014, our vendor purchased the car from respected Ferrari specialist Autosport Designs in Long Island with a mileage of 8,945.Now reading an incredible 9,008 miles, the car has just been re-commissioned by leading Ferrari specialists Terry Keys Motorsport at Silverstone. Having covered such limited mileage, our vendor decided he wanted the car in pristine mechanical and aesthetic condition. Works included a full engine-out cambelt service, replacing the tensioner bearings, camshaft oil seals, all filters, spark plugs and cam-cover gaskets. The water pump was completely rebuilt and the engine and surrounding bay have been detailed in the correct crinkle black finish.The suspension was completely rebuilt with new track-rod ends, refurbished zinc-plated wishbones and all bushes replaced. The brakes were sorted with new pads and brake lines, along with the wheel bearings, which have been fully rebuilt. A full breakdown of these works can be found in the history file. In addition, a complete condition report is available to prospective purchasers prior to the auction and a photographic record of the work can be found in the history file.The bodywork is finished in Rosso Corsa over Black and is presented in outstanding condition. The paint retains a deep shine and the panels are free from dents or scratches. The panel gaps are superb and it is clear that this has been a pampered car throughout its life. The chassis is in equally impressive condition with no corrosion or previous repairs. Upon inspection by Terry Keys, they stated: "It is very rare to find such an unmolested example."The interior is beautifully original. The leather work is unmarked, as are the original carpets and headlining. The original steering wheel is immaculate and the car retains its original stereo system, including the graphic equaliser, which is fully functioning. All other electric systems operate as intended and the electric windows have been serviced.On the road this 512 BBi performs very well indeed with an ample supply of power and revs cleanly throughout the entire rev range. Ideal oil pressure is displayed at all temperatures and the car runs at optimum temperature with the cooling fans cutting in as and when required.Supplied with its original Ferrari wallet, two sets of keys, replacement service book, tools and all invoices for the recent renovation work, this Ferrari represents a very exciting proposition for its next owner. We welcome all pre-sale inspections and feel that this stunning BBi must be seen to be truly appreciated.

The Fiat 500 was produced by Fiat S.p.A (Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino) between 1957 and 1975 and was designed by Dante Giacosa. Despite its diminutive size, the '500' proved to be an enormously practical and popular vehicle throughout Europe and captured the hearts and minds of the public until production ended in 1975. Launched as the Nuova (new) 500 in July 1957 it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only 3 metres long, and originally powered by a 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term "small car" and is now considered to be one of the first 'city cars'. The 'L' or Lusso penultimate model, like the car offered here today, was produced between 1968 and 1972. It featured a much modernised interior including a renewed dashboard which brought the Fiat 500 up to date. Greater comfort and style were provided in this new model for a new generation, and the engine benefitted from a power upgrade to 499cc.This charming little Fiat 500 is an original right-hand drive example that was found by our vendor in 2011 in a barn in North Somerset brush painted red. Over the coming months, the car was stripped, any areas of rust removed, new doors, wings, front inner and outer panels, sills, rear valance panel, and boot were fitted and the car was then painted in its original Giallo Tahiti factory colour.It has been fitted with a revised 650cc engine which makes the difference between spritely and slow. The engine came from a very late Fiat 126 (year 2000) so benefits from a single point injection system and no distributor, points, condenser at all, improving reliability and drivability. It's also fitted with a sports exhaust and an Abarth sump otherwise it remains largely standard. The gearbox similarly is an uprated version from a Fiat 126 again to ensure the longevity of the car. The engine we are told was taken from a very low mileage Fiat 126 showing 16,500kms with supporting paperwork.Later style, more comfortable, high back seats are fitted and the factory rear seats were recovered in blue/grey Connolly leather by Autotrim in Devon with a new black vinyl sunroof and blue side, dark blue carpet trims to match.The car was lovingly used for a while before being put into storage but has now just reemerged and been recommissioned once again. This has included new brake lines, master cylinder, hoses, shoes and brake cylinders. A new battery has been fitted, fuel tank, 5 tyres, new starter (pull handle style retained), alternator, exhaust, LUK clutch kit, and cv boots. Since this work it has been awarded an advisory-free MoT until 3/8/2017.The car was bought with little paperwork but there is a file of paperwork for many of the new parts fitted.This charming little car is perfect for classic day to day driving. Not the car for a purist, and not Concours, but a very rare 500 in RHD form that is very usable and sure to generate a 'smile per mile'.

Few cars can claim to be counter-culture heroes, but when Dustin Hoffman had his epiphany in 1967's generation-defining movie "The Graduate", he not only did so in the vehicle itself, but the ensuing drama established the film and the vehicle as inseparable in our collective conscience. That would be enough to cement the car's status, but it didn't stop there. The name "Duetto" literally means "a song for two voices", and the design of the car had the distinction of being the last to enjoy a personal association from the legendary Battista "Pinin" Farina - his own swansong - whilst the car itself created its own soaring melodies through an astonishing four decades of production - almost unheard of for any car, let alone a sports thoroughbred.This particular, left-hand drive, Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto was delivered new to the Netherlands in 1967 and was first registered in the UK in September 1993. It is classically finished in Rosso with a Nero leather interior and matching carpets throughout. The cockpit is quintessentially sixties Alfa with its painted dashboard, black and white Veglia instruments, and wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, and is the sort of place that could transform a wet Wednesday in Worthing into a May afternoon in Tuscany. Cleary the recipient of a body respray at some point in its life, and likely to have had trim work done, this little Spider sits well and looks absolutely stunning, with its gleaming red paintwork complementing the flowing Pininfarina lines.Sundry service invoices and old MoT certificates are contained within the history file, along with a UK V5c and an MoT until early January '17. This lovely 'boat tail' Alfa Romeo Spider, now showing 67,350 miles on the odometer, is the perfect candidate to make the most of the rest of our summer. Bellissimo!

The F512M was the final version of the mighty Testarossa. Introduced in 1994 at the Paris Motor Show with the familiar 5 litre flat-12 longitudinally mounted mid-engine, it produced 446bhp resulting in a 0-60 time of just 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 196mph. Just 501 were ever produced of these distinctive cars which featured improvements to the exterior (front and rear lights, NACA ducts, bigger brakes etc.), the interior (chrome gear knob, drilled pedals and air con as standard) and the wheels which were now 18 inch diameter with 8 inch wide fronts and 10.5 inch wide rears.This particular left-hand drive F512M was delivered new to its first owner in Germany, a Mr.Henke, on 22nd August 1995 by Ferrari Main Dealer Tamsen of Hamburg. Finished in Metallic Nero Daytona with a black leather interior, the service book is stamped as follows: DateSpecialistMileage (km)27.10.98Tamsen18,9067.6.01Lackmann27,43029.4.02Lackmann29,05025.4.03Lackmann30,20627.9.04Lackmann32,28328.9.07Lueg Sportivo33,8922.9.14Bob Houghton40,294 Thought to have resided in a car collection in Germany in the intervening years, the car was first registered in the UK in 2014. Upon its service at respected marque specialist Bob Houghton that year, the speedometer was changed for an mph unit, which now reads 358 miles, giving a total mileage for the car of 25,395 miles. The old kilometer unit is boxed and accompanies the sale of the car. Fuchs sports exhausts are fitted, giving the Ferrari flat 12-cylinder engine a superb noise when the accelerator is depressed!Supplied with its toolkit and its original leather book pack with a full complement of manuals, this F512M has an MoT until 1st October 2016 and a UK V5c. Being one of only 501 F512Ms produced, these last of the line Testarossa models are highly collectable cars and we urge you to come and view this car in person as this example really does impress.

2000 Subaru Impreza P1

Lot # 226 (Sale Order: 50 of 92)

Make: SubaruModel: Impreza P1Year: 2000Registration: X208NBWChassis Number: JF1GM8KDGYG003289Engine - Displacement: 1994Engine Number: 885011Cylinders: 4-Cyl.Estimate: 38,000Estimate - Range: 38,000 - 44,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Developed as a joint venture between the Japanese factory, Oxfordshire-based Prodrive - the people who helped Subaru to international rally success - and Subaru (UK), the P1 (Prodrive One) was offered only as a two-door saloon. Fitted with a revised version of the rally engine with recalibrated electronics and developing no less than 280bhp, 69bhp more than the standard Impreza Turbo, this was a quick car. Combine that with a big-bore exhaust, quick-shift gear linkage, 17-inch titanium finish alloy wheels and a rally proven suspension set-up, and you've got the fundamentals of something rather special.This amazing P1 Impreza has been extensively and meticulously restored to original factory specification. The car was restored over the past five years by an employee of Prodrive who worked at the well-known Banbury base from 1999 to 2015 and therefore was very familiar with every different aspect of these cars. A hugely comprehensive report by the former head of the Subaru Rally Team forms part of the history file and gives an independent description and analysis of the restoration and the level of detail involved getting the car as close to the original specification as possible. This report includes a considerable number of photographs taken during the restoration and includes the finer detail, such as acid dipping the nuts and bolts, prior to painting and re-fitting. For the engine restoration / rebuild, all the aluminium housings were vapour blasted to the original specification colour scheme and the silencer exterior heat pads were also replaced. The suspension was rebuilt with an STi 'Group N' bushing kit, Zinc primer was added to the coating of the suspension components to aid longevity, and again all the aluminum parts were vapour blasted. The Alcon Prodrive rear caliper housings were zinc plated prior to enameling, further demonstrating the level of attention this car has enjoyed. The genuine outer quarter panels fitted to both sides were glued at the lower seam, unlike the factory spot weld which is a modern corrosion prevention technique. Genuine rear arches were sourced from the USA as they are no longer available in Europe and both sides were fitted with new inner arches. All the shell panels were treated with etch primer prior to application of original specification '74F Blue Cellulose' paint (water base not used). The restorer's market research suggests that extensive corrosion protection after painting is the best inhibitor. The boot was painted in base coat and lacquer, however, limited paint and primer were used on these areas as they were contributing to corrosion issues when built at the factory originally. The sill inspection covers were re-sealed as per factory standard. New fuel filler pipes were zinc plated then enameled (factory spec was zinc only which was a common rust area) and new OE spec fog lights were fitted. As you can imagine with the attention to detail on this rebuild, all brackets nuts bolts and washers were acid dipped and re-plated prior to painting or re-fitting, a process that is far superior to the factory procedures. The wheels now fitted to this particular car are the 18-inch gold alloys that were an optional extra detailed in the original P1 extras booklet and not the standard 17-inch, titanium finish alloys, while the rear silencer is also the P1 spec unit. This Impreza P1 really does need to be seen to be believed and perhaps represents an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a car that’s been restored with well over a 1,000 hours of love and care, and extensive ‘in-house knowledge’ of the P1 model and its potential pitfalls.
