Any estimate given, whether written or oral and whether or not printed in any Catalogue, as to the estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at SAL’s sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price. 6.4 SAL shall not be liable to the Seller for any error or misstatement in or omission from the description of any lot in any Catalogue where SAL has: 6.4.1 been provided with such description by the Seller or any person on his behalf; or 6.4.2 provided the Seller with a copy of such description prior to publication of the Catalogue and neither the Seller nor any person on his behalf has notified SAL in writing within 7 days of any error or misstatement in or omission from the description. 6.5 SAL has no duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller. 7.

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).

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. Any dispute as to any bid shall be settled by the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion. 15.2 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal, unless prior to the commencement of the Auction there is a written acceptance by SAL that a bidder acts on behalf of his principal and the true identity of the principal is noted on the registration form. 16.

1973 Jaguar E-type Series III Roadster - "Boycie's E-type"

Lot # 227 (Sale Order: 51 of 92)

Make: JaguarModel: E-Type Series IIIYear: 1973Body Style: RoadsterExterior Color: WhiteRegistration: UYP 694MChassis Number: 1S2392BWEngine Number: 7S130765BEngine - Displacement: 5.2Cylinders: 12-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate: 75,000Estimate - Range: 75,000 - 85,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Series III was the final incarnation of the iconic Jaguar E-Type. Launched in 1971, it was offered with a silky smooth 5.3-litre, V12 engine and in the guise of either a 2+2 Coupé or a Roadster. Offered with a longer wheelbase, larger and better brakes, and power steering, all as standard, it was a great swansong for one of the 20th. Century's greatest cars.This wonderful example, UYP 695M, was delivered new to Henleys of London on the 11th. of October 1973, resplendent in Old English White, with a blue leather interior, matching carpets, automatic gearbox, and black PVC hood. UYP 695M's first and only registered keeper, a successful businessman residing in Mumbles, Swansea used it as a 'boulevardier', cruising along the Welsh Riviera with the top down. Putting some 79,000 miles on the odometer during his tenure, another businessman of less than salubrious stature also put some miles on the car. In the Spring of 1981, the car was lent to the BBC for the filming of a new comedy programme, entitled Only Fools and Horses for use in the second ever episode "Go West Young Man". It was thus that UYP 694M was to enter British television history as "Boycie's E-Type".After doing a deal with Boycie (John Challis) over a dodgy Ford Cortina Convertible, Del Boy offers to store UYP 694M for a week in his garage out of sight as Boycie had bought the E-Type as a birthday gift for his "bit on the side". Del Boy (David Jason) and Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) decide to go out on the tiles to "find a couple of sorts", naturally in Boycie's E-Type. On their way home Rodney accidentally throws a cigar pack, on which is written the phone numbers of the girls they met earlier, out of the window, and when Del hits the brakes to get out and recover it, another car smashes into the back of the Jaguar. Of course, no damage was caused to the car, merely a staged accident for television purposes. It is fitting that UYP 694M, the swansong of an icon was to star in the first series of the greatest British comedy of all time. Included with the car is a die-cast model of the E-Type signed by both David Jason and John Challis and presented in a frame with mounted stills of the car's appeareance in the episode.Presented today in largely original condition. The black PVC hood was replaced with a blue mohair hood and matching tonneau and the original steel wheels were replaced in the 1980s with chrome wire wheels fitted to splined hubs and Jaguar spinners, the receipts for which are in the history file. The leather seats are in remarkable condition, showing lovely patina with minimal wear to the driver's seat bolster, and a credit to the maintenance and care that the car has received by its fastidious owner. Supplied with 16 previous MOTs, two sets of original keys, tool roll, jack and the "knock on" hammer for the spinners. The history file contains a large amount of paperwork including service bills, handbook and workshop manual.The car has received a light recommission after being stored in a heated garage between 2006 and 2016. New shock absorbers, battery, SU fuel pump, Stromberg carburettor kits, track rod ends, top and bottom ball joints, brake pads, hoses and seals, bonnet and hood seals were fitted. UYP 694M was treated to a full service that included new plugs and of course oil and filter changes to the gearbox, differential and original engine. The bumpers have been re-chromed and the paintwork has been polished and sealed with a hard-wearing ceramic coating. The mohair hood has a three-inch tear just behind the driver's door that has been stitched, however, this consignor advised the vendor to present the car "as is" and allow the successful purchaser to either replace the hood with period correct PVC or a complementing blue mohair hood. Replacement floor mats, in blue, are on order and will be presented with the originals.To conclude, therefore, it is one of the joys of the auction world to be able to offer a car that is rather special, in every way. Presented to auction with a Swansea V5C, MOT until May 2017 with no advisories, and the distinction of having been featured on one of the best loved television comedies of all time. A great conversation topic at any classic car show, dinner party or showroom. When contacted by Silverstone Auctions John Challis remarked, paraphrasing his original line from the episode, and alluding to the recent British success at the Rio Olympics "It's only E-Type Jaguars and Adam Peaty that makes me proud to be British these days."

Looking like a cross between an Apache attack helicopter and something from the Avatar props department, the arrival of the Aventador in 2011 proved that Lamborghini had lost none of their ability to create automotive shock.Some four years later the new Aventador 'SV' was introduced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, and like its "Superveloce" predecessors dating back to the Miura, this Aventador model was more powerful, lighter, and, unbelievably, even more extreme-looking than the car on which it's based. The SV looks like an Aventador that's spent too much time with its Uncle Veneno, however the dramatic body mods really work on this car, unlike the Veneno which looks like the result of a liason between the Batmobile and a Transformer. Lambo says its aerodynamicists strove to improve both downforce and aerodynamic efficiency without increasing drag and were patently successful as downforce was indeed up by a claimed 170 percent, and aero efficiency had been increased by 150 percent helped, presumably, by the massive rear wing.Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in late 2015 was the occasion chosen by Lamborghini to unveil the open top version of the SV, the 'Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce Roadster' and it's the first Lamborghini convertible ever to wear the SV badge. The SV's 6.5-litre V12 has an all-new exhaust system, and revised valve timing and intakes, resulting in an additional 49 "Cavalli" over the standard Aventador Roadster. That takes the total to 740bhp at 8400rpm, and 507lb ft of torque at 5500rpm. It will arrive at 62mph in 2.9 seconds, a tenth down on the Aventador SV Coupé, but the 217mph top speed is apparently unchanged. Three engine modes are available - Strada, Sport and Corsa - that progressively dial up the Aventador's dampers, throttle, exhaust, steering and transmission response.There are carbon shell bucket seats, carbon door panels with leather straps for handles, and a two-piece solid carbon fibre roof that unclips and slots neatly in the front boot, leaving ample room for three or four of your favourite handkerchiefs. The manually adjustable rear wing and cavernous front intakes are carbon fibre, too so basically there's a lot of carbon fibre. As a result it weighs 50kg less than the standard Aventador Roadster, at 1575kg, but 50kg more than the SV Coupé as a result of the necessary chassis strengthening.Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard, as are adaptive dampers, pushrod suspension and Lambo's ‘LDS' variable ratio steering system.This left-hand drive Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce Roadster was delivered by Lamborghini Vienna to their customer in Bucharest earlier this year and received a pre-delivery check by Bentley Bucuresti on 28/04/2016. We understand that the current indicated mileage is 59 km which means that, although it has one registered owner, this is effectively a new car.It's finished in metallic Grigio Estoque (an 'estoque' is a small flat sword used by Matadors) with an amazing Black and Red cockpit. The interior was a bespoke option (Ad Personam) in Nero Cosmus / Rosso Alala with a full branding package in Alcantara, red seat belts, Carbon Fibre floor mats, seats in Nero Cosmos with Rosso stitching and dramatic detailing, a navigation system, rear view camera, multifunction steering wheel in full Alcantara, a fire extinguisher, and a Start/Stop button with a bright red flip-up cover that looks like the sort of thing a submarine commander would use to launch a missile!Other options selected from the list include gloss black 20/21" 'DIANTUS' forged rims with red central locking, red brake callipers, magneto-rheological suspension with red rear springs and lifting system, carbon fibre X-frame and engine cover, and a transparent engine 'bonnet'.Only 500 examples of the fastest Lamborghini convertible ever built will be produced and will no doubt become legendary, as have previous iterations of the 'Superveloce'.Don't miss the opportunity to own this one.

2014 BMW Alpina B3 GT3

Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH & Co. KG or simply ‘Alpina' - the official BMW tuning partner - has had a long and celebrated association with the Munich carmaker, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015. Credited with re-engineering some very special cars over the years, Alpina's approach is often to refine and build on the latent driving and styling characteristics of a standard car, adding a certain Alpina ‘magic' that only they can bestow on a BMW. Their reputation and following are very strong, appealing to discerning buyers who want a special, rare and characterful car. Such are their credentials, Alpina is now recognised by the German Ministry of Transport as an automobile manufacturer in their own right.The Alpina B3 GT3 is a very special car. Only 99 examples were manufactured worldwide to celebrate the company's success in the German GT championship with a B6 GT3. Launched with great acclaim, with Alpina PR videos and a 15-page information booklet, the car was received very well. It was Alpina's take on the wild BMW E92 M3 GTS (of which there were 135 examples worldwide and are now valued at c£100,000 - £120,000).Alpina started with their already special B3 S Biturbo, utilising the very well-regarded 3-litre straight-six, and set about adding choice components and upgrades to create a consummate all-round sports car. In producing the B3 GT3, they did what only a few manufacturers or tuning specialists can do - they made a car that is not only very competent on a track-day but can also be driven every day in comfort with real-road driving abilities and refinement. The engine produces 402bhp and 398lb ft (74lb ft up on the M3 GTS) with the smooth propulsion reaching the back wheels through a Drexler limited-slip differential, giving the car a 186 mph top speed and a 0-62mph time of 4.5 secs. With weight-saving in mind, the B3 GT3 versions of Alpina's iconic multi-spoke Classic wheels are 25% lighter (housing blue six-pot calipers clamping 380mm discs), whilst the titanium Akrapovic exhaust saves another 11kg. The biggest mechanical change, however, is reserved for the suspension. The standard width rear axle is fitted with fully adjustable coil-overs at each corner. Not only is the ride-height variable, but the dampers also have 12 settings in compression and 18 in rebound. Helpfully, Alpina also offers the driver three pre-determined, progressively firmer set-ups for the chassis.Ultimately, for all its exclusivity and engineering integrity, this car is really about the driving experience. EVO magazine's Henry Catchpole test-drove a B3 GT3 in 2013 saying: "Rarely have I driven a car that felt so right so quickly. The steering weight, handling balance and chassis grip all seem perfectly matched - there's not a particular aspect that jumps out, but the whole package is beguiling. There's slightly less hard-core grip than a BMW M3 at each end, but that's part of what makes it feel so friendly and encouraging every time you start linking corners and working the Michelin Pilot Sport 2s. The twin-turbo engine is as silky-smooth and effortlessly punchy as you'd imagine, and it sounds good too, the straight-six regaining some of the old E46's metallic timbre as you rev it harder. Although the six-speed automatic perhaps lacks the edge that you'd expect from something called GT3, it is super-slick in its changes and somehow matches the delivery of the engine. Suspension-wise the car feels perfectly set-up for a B-road: firm enough to give you confidence and feedback, but with enough compliance to soak up any mid-corner lumps and not get distracted from your line. Despite not being as hard-core as you'd expect, the end result of the Alpina is definitely more than the sum of its parts."The car presented here is a 2014 Alpina B3 GT3, number 74 of 99 examples, and one of only a handful of cars that were UK-delivered in right-hand drive. It's in superb condition having covered just 4,000 miles with its first and only owner. The car looks very purposeful in black, contrasting particularly well with the Alcantara stitched interior. This car was specified with the not inexpensive options of a Comfort Pack (which includes the Professional satellite navigation system) and a Digital Race Display system. As you'd expect, the car has a high specification and is accompanied by all its as-new book-pack components and has a complete BMW service history (the most recent being on the 20th May 2016).Once purchased new, rarely do such limited edition cars come up for sale, often remaining in collections. This is a special opportunity to acquire a sensational car that combines real aptitude, rarity, and appeal.

1959 Aston Martin DB3S Recreation

This stunning DB3S recreation was completed by Bill Monk (WAM) in 2015. It has covered approximately 280 miles since completion of the build and is the last of only 11 DB3S Recreations currently built by Bill Monk and the only one to recreate the style of the later DB3S Works cars.Powered by a 3.5 litre straight-six BMW engine, with triple Weber 40 DCOE twin-choke, side-draught carburetors it had been fully set up on a rolling road by Janspeed of Salisbury. Output was recorded at a very healthy 230 bhp at the wheels with output sheets on file.Bill Monk previously owned two original Aston Martin DB3S', chassis number 10, an ex-Le Mans car, and chassis number 120, one of only 3 DB3S coupes ever build. Inspired by his previous DB3S ownership, Bill decided to produce DB3S recreations under the name WAM (William Anthony Monk) using a mould taken off one of the original cars and his extensive experience of restoring and working on Aston Martins.Finished in Aston Martin Racing Green with knock-on wire wheels, chrome spinners, and polished stainless steel side exhaust pipes, this DB3S recreation sounds as good as it looks, with equally impressive performance. The BMW 5-series engine was specifically chosen, as opposed to a Jaguar straight-six engine, as the BMW unit provides a very similar power to the original DB3S engine (and indeed sound!) and with the exhaust exiting on the correct side, unlike the straight-six Jaguar engine.The majority of the running gear is Jaguar. This includes the front suspension (double wishbones and uprights with aftermarket coil spring damper units), the rear suspension (Jaguar lower wishbones, driveshafts, and uprights) and with Jaguar servo-assisted disc brakes fitted at all corners. Exceptional attention to detail has been given to the interior, including a correct style dashboard and steering wheel, along with period style seats in green leather and matching green carpet. Complete with half and full tonneau covers, spare wheel, and tool set.Since being set up on the rolling road, the DB3S has covered limited miles with recent outings including a test drive by a previous owner of the original DB3S chassis number 11, who was incredibly impressed by Bill Monk's work and a high-speed parade around Silverstone circuit at the VSCC Spring Start meeting. This superb recreation enables its next owner to enjoy and experience the sights and sounds of the legendary DB3S for a fraction of the cost of the genuine article.

1963 Porsche 356B T6 Super 90

The 356 model is acknowledged as Porsche's first production car and was a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door sports car available in hardtop, coupé, and open configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity.The model was created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche (son of Dr. Ing. Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the company), based on an original design by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda, its mechanicals (including engine, suspension, and chassis) were derived from the Volkswagen Beetle.Porsche re-engineered and refined the car with a focus on performance. By the late '50s many fewer parts were shared between Volkswagen and Porsche and increasing success with its racing and road cars brought Porsche orders for over 10,000 units in 1964, and by the time 356 production ended in 1965 approximately 76,000 had been produced. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector's car with the Super 90 amongst the most desirable 356 models, partially due to the type's much enjoyed success in rallying: the 24 hours of Le Mans, the 1000 km Buenos Aires, the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, the Carrera Panamericana, as well as many other important motorsport events.This Porsche 356B Coupe is an original UK, right-hand drive T-6 'Super 90' that was supplied new by AFN in Chiswick, London. It was delivered on 14th May 1963 and was finished in Slate Grey with a red leatherette interior.The current owner discovered the car a couple of years ago and immediately realised he had found something very special indeed. Surprisingly, all the panels, engine, and gearbox were found to be original and he quickly set about a full ground-up restoration. The shell was totally stripped and painted in its original colour of Slate Grey and the interior re-trimmed in red leatherette. Emphasis was placed on finishing the car to original specification during the rebuild. The original engine was totally rebuilt and has just been tuned and set up by Andy Prill. The original gearbox was rebuilt and almost all mechanical components were either rebuilt, replaced and restored. Having just been completed, this stunning Super 90 is ready for the road again and a large number of photographs document the entire process.The history file for this 356 is simply superb. With its original green and brown buff log books, old FIA papers, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirming matching numbers, bills and receipts, old MoT certificates, and pictures and details of the restoration just completed, it makes for fascinating reading.One of the most interesting aspects of this 356's history is that on 15th December 1989, the car was granted FIA competition papers and was extensively used on road rally events. In fact, the car competed in Le Rallye de Monte-Carlo Historique three times in the 1990s and even came 20th overall and 2nd in class. There are pictures of the car on the rally in the history file and on our website.We encourage all pre-sale inspections of this vehicle and welcome prospective bidders to contact the office for further details. This extremely rare 356B Super 90 Coupé is a very collectable car indeed and, at the time of consignment, was the only right-hand drive Super 90 Coupé on the market in the UK today.

The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, as a parallel model to the Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the sensuous Dino 246. It was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti and the early cars were made of lightweight fibreglass and powered by a 255bhp(in Europe), V8 running on carburettors. The Targa topped 308 GTS arrived in 1977 and was perhaps best known for its regular appearances on the television series ‘Magnum, P.I'.In 1980, the GTBi and GTSI were launched with fuel injection replacing the carburettors simply to comply with US emissions regulations. In 1985, the 308 was replaced by the 328, which in 1989 was in turn replaced by the 348. Early Ferrari 308s are today recognised as genuine Ferrari classics, not least because of their excellent driving characteristics and pure Pininfarina lines, but they are now seen as very collectable.Silverstone Auctions are delighted to offer this preferred, carburettor model in the most delightful colour combination of Argento Silver with a lipstick red interior. Manufactured in 1979, it has covered just 23,000 miles and is the most original example we have ever offered for sale.The bodywork is simply a joy to behold, and judging by the consistent paintwork, it's clear to see that the car is free from any rust and has never had any work to the body due to damage or repair. The originality must be seen to be believed. The car is fitted with its original, untouched factory Ferrari alloys, still displaying the hand-drawn Ferrari logo and sitting on period original Michelin XWX tyres.A true time-warp example throughout, the interior is completely factory original and without defects, cracks or rips. The dashboard top and leather remain supple and crack free and the carpets are fresh, genuine and all present. The engine is strong and pulls well, the drive is tight and responsive and the gearbox is quiet and changes through the range with minimal effort. The car has been consistently well maintained with a recent, engine out, extensive service including a cam-belt change.Supplied with a UK V5C, accompanying history file, recently serviced and with a current MOT, this highly desirable, low mileage, carburettor 308 GTS should prove to be a highly rewarding ownership proposition.

1961 Jaguar Mark 10 3.8 Litre - Ex Sir William Lyons

Sir William Lyons, popularly known as 'Mr. Jaguar', founded the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922 in partnership with William Walmsley. The Swallow Sidecar Company became Jaguar Cars Ltd after the second world war ended and went on to outstanding success as a prestige British manufacturer of executive saloons and sports cars across the World.The Jaguar Mark X (ten) was the top of the range saloon from 1961 until 1970 and was originally designed with the US market in mind as well the inevitable demand from the home counties.The car was a 'unitary construction' bodyshell which was codenamed "Zenith" during development and this, state of the art, floor pan continued in production long after the Mark Ten was superseded. The new look of four headlamps above distinctive chrome bumpers and a vaned grill was to remain a styling cue for Jaguar for many years and is inherent in their design even today. The interior featured acres of polished woodwork all over the dashboard as well as rear wooden picnic tables and a front, pull-out, picnic table stowed under the dashboard.This particular car was one of the very first "Zenith" cars produced in December 1961 specifically for Sir William Lyons to use as his daily driver. It was finished to his own personal specification and differed from production cars in a number of small ways including having electric windows in the rear (in addition to the front) and individual 'vanity mirrors' for himself and Lady Lyons. The car was delivered to him in January 1962 and was to be his personal transport for the next three years being used on all his official Jaguar public functions including visits to his beloved Jaguar Racing Team providing moral support at important meetings. Today, this dynamic Jaguar is finished in its original colour of Opalescent Dark Green with a Beige leather interior and still bears its original Coventry number plate - 7868 RW. It is fresh from a professional comprehensive two-year restoration to near Concours standard carried out by renowned Jaguar specialists "covering a full restoration of body, paint, chrome, trim - wood and leather, as well as a full engine and mechanical engineering overhaul". It presents and drives beautifully today, just as it did for Sir William in period. The freshly rebuilt 3.8 engine starts and runs as it should and the car still has the three qualities of " Grace, Space and Pace" that epitomised Jaguar saloons in the 1960s.The Jaguar is now in possession of a fresh MOT, valid until July 2017, with no advisories.This is a unique opportunity to own an important piece of Jaguar history and not to be missed. It has been photographed by our in-house photographer, Jonny Shears, outside of what was Sir William's house - Wappenbury Hall - where car and home have finally been reunited once more. N.B Sincere thanks to Wappenbury Hall's current owner for his permission, kindness, and courtesy.

When Stuart Turner was appointed the head of Ford Motorsport in Europe in 1983, he quickly came to the conclusion that the company was no longer competitive in motorsport. Walter Hayes, having instigated the Cosworth DFV engine and Ford's assault on Le Mans with the GT40, was still the driving force at Ford and not surprisingly, Hayes was enthusiastic about Turner's plans to produce a turbocharged Cosworth 2.0 litre engine that would power a current Ford saloon in motorsport. Cosworth already had a cylinder head design that was promising and was matched to the Ford T88 Pinto block, so they agreed to produce the 2.0litre turbo engine providing that Ford signed-off a production run of 15,000 units.The introduction of the Sierra in 1982 required a marketing boost, so it was allocated to become the platform for Ford's new competition aspirations. It was rear-wheel drive, had good aerodynamics, albeit being prone to lift at high speeds and was available as a three-door. The new body kit and rear spoiler would sort out the lift issues, but Ford still needed to build 5,000 units for homologation; this was somewhat worrying when Turner's initial approach to the dealer network came back with an estimate that suggested they could sell around 1,500 units! The successful eventual sales record is of course history. Ford went on to sell 5,545 three-door cars including the RS500, of which only 500 were built, and the Cosworth engine also found its way into nearly 30,000 Ford Sierra Saloons (Cosworth 3dr, Sapphire 2wd and 4wd). The Sierra Cosworth comfortably exceeded Ford's wishes and it went on to become one of the most successful Touring Car racers of all time, winning races all over the world.This stunning, matching numbers, RS500, build number 50, was delivered via Telford Ford to its first owner in August 1987. Showing a mere 50,943 miles at the time of cataloguing, this car has been fastidiously maintained throughout its life as can be seen in its extensive history file containing the original fully stamped service manual which quite literally has been filled to the point where no more stamps can be added.It remained with its first owner until the summer of '88 when it was sold to its second custodian who kept the car until '95, and in a similar fashion to his predecessor, the car was annually serviced and well maintained. The third owner kept the car until 2011, again keeping up the high standards of maintenance and care. Its fourth and current owner, in common with the first three, kept the car in great condition but did not register it in his name and instead kept the car in dry storage. In 2015, it was sent up to Paul Linfoot for a full service where a new clutch, new cam belt and tensioner plus a new oil filter were fitted. During our vendor's ownership, a new stainless steel exhaust has been fitted, along with a new rocket cover gasket and a new fuel pressure regulator all totalling £1,055. Supplied with an MoT until 30/11/ 2016 and its V5c.These cars of the Eighties and Nineties are becoming increasingly sought after and are some of the fastest appreciating classics in the current market, and the appetite for well kept, low volume Fords in particular, shows no sign of abating. Now offered for sale once again, this sparkling Cosworth RS500 is an absolute must for the astute collector and enthusiast, as well as being tremendous fun to drive.

Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show the basic Porsche 911 design would run virtually unchanged for twenty-nine years. Ferdinand Porsche had been quietly working on a design since the late fifties, knowing that demand for his ever-popular 356 would eventually wane, and he would need a replacement that was fit for the changing needs of the mid-sixties. Eventually, the new car took shape on his drawing board and the 901 (later 911) was born and this design still, to this day, underpins the production of Porsche AG of Stuttgart. Before long the merits of using the Porsche 911 in competitive motor sport became apparent and history records it as one of the most successful campaigners of all time. From the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to grass roots motor sport, the 911 offered reliable performance in many guises.For 1970, the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger cylinder bore giving a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a "T" at this power output. Alterations to suspension pick-up points improved the handling and gave a little more steering feel. Six-inch Fuchs 'five-leaf' forged alloys were now a standard fit.This particular car, presented in sparkling Ivory White with contrasting Black Leatherette trim has had over £30,000 spent on it over recent years, undergoing a complete body renovation and, more recently, a complete engine and gearbox rebuild. It retains its matching numbers from new as confirmed by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. The original Fuchs alloys have also benefited from a refurb and in readiness for the sale the car has just had a full service to include some fresh gearbox oil.MME 92L comes complete with its original hand and service books bound in a Porsche leather folder along with many receipts for the extensive work recently completed.Early 911s possess a certain purity of line, particularly in white, a complete world away from the aerodynamic extravagances of the eighties and nineties, and in terms of style, it's the early cars that engender the most appreciative glances. A well set-up and maintained 911T, 'E' or 'S' driven with an intelligent right foot will provide some of the most quintessentially rewarding driving experiences you have ever had, and even the 125bhp 911T, for sale here, will leave you with a serious grin.This is a very well maintained and delightfully presented example of the marque and comes with good provenance.

Unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, the Ian Callum designed, Vanquish was an instant sales success and the fact that it was James Bond's transport of choice only added to the appeal. Featuring a 6.0 litre V12 generating nearly 450bhp mated to a 6-speed paddle shift gearbox, the car was the top of the range for Aston throughout its 7 years of production. When Pierce Brosnan stepped out of his Vanquish in the 2002 film 'Die Another Day', the legend was created and immediately the successor to the Virage was desired by every car enthusiast throughout the world.Building on the sales success of the original Vanquish, the Vanquish S was launched in 2004 and featured an increase in engine power (up from 460bhp to 520bhp) and revised gear and back axle ratios. Top speed was quoted as being in excess of 200mph, making it one of the fastest Aston Martin road cars ever built at Newport Pagnell. The exterior panels were still lovingly hand finished in the factory panel shop from ‘Superformed' aluminium. Discreet changes to the ‘S' included a bigger, revised grille, front splitter and a raised rear ‘spoiler' built into the boot lid to keep the car stable at high speed.This Aston Martin Vanquish S was first registered on 13rd May 2005 and has had a total of 2 registered keepers from new. In this time the car has covered an incredible 3,892 miles from new. Supplied new via Aston Martin dealer Reg Vardy, it is finished in silver with a sumptuous two-tone blue leather interior, the condition of this car must be seen to be believed.The paintwork retains an excellent shine and the panel fit is simply superb. The engine bay is a joy to behold and shows factory finish stickers and finishes to the components. The interior is in stunning condition and is a lovely place to be. The leather and all switchgear is in superb order and the entire aesthetic condition of this Aston Martin is consistent with a very low mileage example.The service history shows stamps in the original service booklet from Reg Vardy, Stratstone, JCT600 and Desmond Smail. This car must be one of the lowest mileage Vanquish S' on the market today and is the finest example we have ever seen.

The DeLorean DMC-12 was a ground-breaking, innovative sports car manufactured by John DeLorean's 'DeLorean Motor Company' for the American market from 1981-83. The car featured gull-wing doors and an unusual fibreglass chassis and underbody structure, along with a brushed stainless steel body and is probably most widely known for its appearance as a time machine in the 'Back to the Future' film trilogy. It was designed by the talented Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design and built on a chassis engineered by Lotus with a 2.9-litre V6 engine sourced from Peugeot-Renault-Volvo.This rare, five-speed manual example was manufactured in Belfast in November 1981, shipped to the United States, and registered in Ohio on the 16th November 1982. According to Carfax, the US version of HPI, it seems that the car spent all of its life in Ohio and looks to have been a one-owner car, although this remains to be confirmed. The Carfax report does confirm, however, that the car was free of accident damage at the time of export in July 2016. The car features the desirable grey leather interior, as seen in the movie car, fluted tailpipes, original radio, clock, jack and unused space saver spare wheel. It has obviously been well maintained by its DeLorean enthusiast owner and has stainless steel fuel lines and a new fuel pump fitted. The entire stainless steel body has been professionally re-brushed, no easy task, and the front and rear facias re-painted.Respected expert, the joint author of "DeLorean Celebrating the Impossible" and the historian of the UK based DeLorean Owners Club, Chris Parnham, has this to say on the car:"Vin 7184Engine number 7162Frame number 7792The mileage indicated of just over 33,000 is entirely consistent with the car's overall excellent condition. Unusually, it shows no signs of sun damage, so must have been kept indoors for much of its life. It has the highly desirable grey interior and manual gearbox combination, all of which are in excellent original condition. Like all DeLoreans, it has air-conditioning and central locking. Being a late build car (Nov.81), it has the advantage that the production staff knew what they were doing by then! Build quality was generally very good. In my opinion a great car and smart investment for the future."We are delighted to be able to offer such a decent example of the DeLorean, a car that continues to gain momentum in the collector's car market on both sides of the Atlantic. Offered to auction with a fresh MOT, and NOVA documentation, the newly re-brushed exterior shows the 'Belfast Silver Bullet' in the best possible light.

1990 BMW E30 M3 Convertible

Lot # 239 (Sale Order: 63 of 92)

Make: BMWModel: E30 M3Year: 1990Body Style: ConvertibleRegistration: TBAChassis Number: WBSBB05090EB86261Engine - Displacement: 2300Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: OtherEstimate: 37,000Estimate - Range: 37,000 - 42,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Based on the 1986 model year E30 3-Series, the E30 M3 used the BMW 2.3 litre S14 engine and was produced from 1985 to 1992. In contrast to later M3 models, the E30 M3 was campaigned by BMW as well as other racing teams including Prodrive and AC Schnitzer in many forms of motor sport including rallying and racing. The latter included campaigns in the World Touring Car Championship, Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft, and the British, Italian, French and Australian Touring Car Championships.The M3 differed from the rest of the E30 line-up in many ways and although using the same basic body shell as the standard E30, was equipped with twelve different and unique body panels to improve aerodynamics and aesthetics. The "box flared" wheel-arches to accommodate a wider track with wider and taller wheels were the most distinctive of these but in fact, the only exterior body panels shared were the bonnet, roof panel, sunroof, and doors.Of the 16,202 E30 M3s produced only 786 convertibles were sold by BMW and of these only 476 were fitted with the 215hp engine, as is this fabulous example here. Built at the Regensburg BMW factory on the 6/11/1990, but interestingly not registered until January 1993, it's finished in the sophisticated colour combination of triple black, with 'Diamontschwartz' metallic paint, black interior and a black soft-top. This gleaming metallic black really suits the M3, setting off the aggressive stance and wide rear wing to perfection. The factory fitted options include heated front seats, a warning triangle and the boot lid mounted tool kit is present and correct.This left-hand drive was imported from Germany on 1st October 1997 and purchased by our vendor, after an exhaustive search on the 31st July 2011. Prior to our vendor's custodianship, the car was meticulously maintained, and the service book shows twenty-three service stamps. As the dealer principal of Trainer BMW of Swansea, our vendor has maintained this car in-house without sparing expense. The bills on the file amount to a shade under £8,000, with regular maintenance, oil changes and safety checks made after each lengthy journey.The car shows it's 96,000 kilometres (59,000 miles) remarkably well with just the right amount of patina to the front seat bolsters. The vendor's father recently took the car on a tour of Germany, motoring without fault, and out of a stock of literally hundreds of other BMWs, he chooses to use this car for special trips, regularly attending Goodwood and other motoring events where the car is appreciated for its rarity and condition.The car will be presented to auction freshly serviced with an MOT until August 2017, complete with book pack, service book, Swansea V5c, most MOTs and SORN documents since being in the UK, and a history file bursting with five years of main dealer receipts. Please note retention proceedings have already begun to remove the private registration number which is not included in the sale.To conclude, it is a pleasure to offer such a wonderful example of a model that is rarely seen on UK roads, an example that has been meticulously maintained by the workshop staff at a BMW main dealer, as one would expect when the car in question belongs to the boss!

1966 Maserati Sebring Series II

Lot # 240 (Sale Order: 64 of 92)

Make: MaseratiModel: SebringYear: 1966Exterior Color: SilverRegistration: JKE 56DChassis Number: AM101/S/10*425Engine - Displacement: 3700ccEngine Number: AM101/S/10*425Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate: 150,000Estimate - Range: 150,000 - 170,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Having spent extravagantly on their motor racing program over the years, Maserati's coffers were a little depleted and their survival strategy for the 1960s centered on establishing the company as a volume producer of road cars. The Modena marque's new era began in 1957 with the launch of the Touring-bodied 3500GT. A luxury '2+2', the 3500GT drew on Maserati's competition experience, employing a tubular chassis frame and an engine derived from the Alfieri-designed 350S sports racing car unit of 1956. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs, while at the back there was a conventional live axle/semi-elliptic arrangement. Power output of the twin-cam six was around 220bhp initially, but later examples produced 235bhp on fuel injection. Built on the shorter wheelbase but otherwise similar chassis of the Vignale-bodied 3500GT Spyder, the Sebring 2+2 coupé arrived to much acclaim in 1962, and is now widely considered to be one of the most elegant and understated of the Sixties' Grand Tourers.This left-hand drive, 1966 Maserati Series II variant looks resplendent in Metallic Silver with a Deep Blue leather interior and is fitted with the capable 3.7 litre engine producing 245bhp delivered through 5-speed gearbox. Being an older restoration, it does not claim to be a 'Concours' car, albeit it's in very fine order, and has patently benefited from more than £40,000 of expenditure in mechanical and cosmetic fettling in recent years and now looks, every inch, the purposeful Italian GT. These careful attentions have resulted in a very reliable car which further benefits from modern comforts such as air conditioning which helps facilitate regular use.Delivered new to Paris in 1966, this car subsequently spent many years in Rome, although it is currently UK registered and has been resident here since 1989. Equipped with a number of factory options including a superb set of Borranis, limited slip-differential and the aforementioned air conditioning, this is a matching numbers Maserati with a generous history folder which has covered a, believed genuine, 51,000 kilometres from new.The Maserati Sebring has always been a favourite of the team here at Silverstone Auctions, and at a relatively modest outlay in comparison to alternative 1960's Italian exotica we cannot commend this car highly enough to you.

1989 Ferrari 348TS

Lot # 241 (Sale Order: 65 of 92)

Make: FerrariModel: 348 TSYear: 1989Registration: G659 OKYChassis Number: ZFFFA36A9K0082453Engine Number: 19691Engine - Displacement: 3405Cylinders: 8-Cyl.Estimate: 75,000Estimate - Range: 75,000 - 85,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

First seen in prototype form in 1987, the Ferrari 348 entered production in 1989, replacing the popular and successful 328GTB/GTS. Although mid-engined, as was its predecessor, the 348 differed by mounting its four-valves-per-cylinder, quad-cam V8 3.4-litre engine longitudinally, enabling it to be positioned lower in the chassis. A further development was the introduction of a transversely mounted five-speed gearbox using innovative technology derived from the company's Formula 1 programme. This meant that the transmission was mounted deeper in the chassis and consequently lowered the centre of gravity which has a beneficial effect on handling and road holding. Initially typed 'tb' and 'ts' - trasversale berlinetta and trasversale spyder - the 348 reverted to Ferrari's traditional GTB/GTS nomenclature part way through production. With its aerodynamic skirts, spoilers, a wheel at each corner, and distinctive gill slots feeding air to side-mounted radiators, the stocky 348 looked very much like a scaled-down Testarossa and, with around 300bhp on tap and a top speed of 170mph, gave little away in terms of outright performance to its larger, 12-cylinder sibling. Production ceased in 1994 after 8,745 348s of all types had been built.This lovely, left-hand drive Ferrari 348ts was manufactured in 1989 and is one of the first off the production line. First registered in the summer of 1990 in Florida, USA, it was purchased by the previous owner in 1990 directly from the supplying dealership and then imported into Germany. Whilst there, the car was driven on temporary plates and not registered until 2013. The previous owner was the proprietor of Kia/Mazda Autohaus dealerships and naturally the car was looked after by his own skilled team and serviced annually. Stored and used infrequently, the car has covered a mere 3,990 miles from new or approximately 155 miles per year. Presented in Rosso Corsa with a Nero interior, this 'time-warp' 348ts is in remarkable condition even sitting on its original Bridgestone tyres fitted in 1989. The interior feels almost new, with that distinctive 'new car' smell still present, and the underside looks equally good with all the nuts and bolts retaining their gold-coloured plating. As one would expect, this car comes with its original tool kit, leather holder, all user manuals and service book.The car's early history is supported by the original US title, which shows that it was exported to Germany in the summer of 1990 while still brand new. The German TüV and title are present also, recording the Ferrari's first registration on German plates in 2013. It was serviced by Ferrari in Colchester on 5/02/2015 and returned there for a full cambelt service on 11/03/15. The MOT expires on 21/02/07. The 348 was not quite as well-received as its predecessors initially, however, things have changed substantially, prompted by some decent retrospective road tests by leading journalists, and they have started to appreciate significantly. This car, with this mileage, and in this condition is an important opportunity.

Regretfully Withdrawn 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda

** Regretfully Withdrawn ** This car will be offered for sale at the NEC Classic Sale on 12/13 November 2016. Launched in 1963 to replace the rather underpowered 190SL and utilising some of the new manufacturing techniques being adopted in the emerging 'S' Class, the Paul Bracq-designed 230SL was proudly unveiled to an appreciative audience at the Geneva Motor Show. Remaining in production until 1971 the W113 Class, frequently referred to as the Pagoda, eventually spanned three engine sizes. Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as most racing drivers, demonstrated the handling capabilities of the 230SL on a tight, short test track near Montreux in 1963, where he put up a best lap that out-performed the Ferrari 250GT.The W113 was the first sports car with a "safety body," based on Bela Barényi's extensive work on vehicle safety. It had a rigid passenger cell and designated crumple zones with impact-absorbing front and rear sections built into the vehicle structure and the interior was "rounded," with all hard corners and edges removed.Most 'Pagodas' were fitted with an automatic gearbox, however, the 1966, left-hand drive example on offer here has the distinction of being a manual, which will make it a little more spritely and fun to drive. The Antique Yellow exterior colour beautifully complements the Deep Blue leather seats and Biscuit carpeting. Showing 7,243 kilometers on the odometer, we presume it has 'gone round the clock'. The car was imported from the United States in 2015 having lived in Maryland, Virginia. Taxes were settled and the car was subsequently registered with the DVLA, initially with an age related registration number, and subsequently with the 'cherished' registration number shown in the photographs. (Please note this private number has been placed on retention and is not included in the sale).The hardtop requires some refurbishment, presumably having been left in storage and, although the paintwork is generally good, one or two areas would benefit from some attention and detailing. A little tlc would turn this Pagoda into an excellent example of these, timelessly pretty, Mercedes convertibles.The car is presented to auction with an MOT until July 2017 and will be serviced prior to the sale at our vendor's local Mercedes-Benz dealer. An excellent opportunity, at this guide price, to own an affordable example of a consistently appreciating classic.

1960 Bentley S2 Standard Saloon

Lot # 243 (Sale Order: 67 of 92)

Make: BentleyModel: S2 SeriesYear: 1960Registration: 629 XUSChassis Number: B262-BREngine Number: 131-BBEngine - Displacement: 6263Cylinders: 8-Cyl.Estimate: 16,000Estimate - Range: 16,000 - 20,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Bentley turned to V8 power as the sixties approached as a way of keeping up with its luxury rivals, especially in America. A radical change was on the cards in 1959 as Bentley felt their faithful straight-six engine was getting a bit 'long in the tooth' and in the search for a more modern power unit, they turned to the General Motors inspired 6,320cc all-aluminium V8. The new engine was an entirely new departure for Bentley and caused some consternation amongst traditional Bentley customers, however, in execution, their worries were short lived as the new power unit delivered more performance with unparalleled smoothness setting the standard for the rest of the century and ultimately the S2 set the benchmark for others to follow.The extra power produced by the V8 enabled Bentley to expand the list of features available on the S2 and they included fully automatic transmission, power-assisted steering, electrically operated ride control, redesigned and more flexible air conditioning, electric rear window demisters, and press button window lifts.This particular Bentley S2 4-door standard saloon was first registered as '9591 XI' on 1st April 1960 to a Mr P. Barker-Jones of Stafford, who was to own the car until 1976 when he sold it to a Mr Bruno Piazza of Richmond Surrey. There are invoices in the history file from Martin Bolitho Motor Engineers Ltd, dated 6th September 1978 to Mr Piazza at his Brussels address, for comprehensive service work totalling £1,600, with VAT at 8%! It's thought that the car returned to the UK around 1986 with ownership history lost until 1995 when it was acquired by a Mr Thierry Allard of London.The next owner was the much-celebrated comedian, Mr William 'Billy' Connolly Esq. who purchased the car from Jack Barclay Ltd on 17th April 2002 for £45,000. A copy of an old V5c and invoices are made out to Mr Connolly at his old baronial home, 'Candacraig House', Aberdeenshire. Upon purchase, the car was sent to The Bentley Service Centre, London for a full recommission totalling in excess of £7,000. Clearly the commitments of touring meant 'The Big Yin' didn't use this S2 as much as he would have liked, as further bills from Jack Barclay up to 2005 suggest. Later that year the car was sold to a Mr Giueseppe Fiumano who transferred maintenance duties to London-based Bentley and Rolls-Royce specialist, Chris Moroney. Our vendor purchased the car in 2009 and continued sending it to the aforementioned specialist in the following years.Finished in Dust Grey over Garnet with a tan leather interior, and showing 39,591 miles on the odometer, this car is supplied with a V5c and an MoT until 2nd August 2017. This charming old Bentley S2, much like its fabled famous previous owner, requires a little tender loving care to bring it up to black tie standard.

Rarely do cars given a facelift look as good as the models they are intended to replace, but with the Mk2, Jaguar put paid to that particular theory. William Lyons, whilst not a trained draughtsman, was a bit more hands-on than most men in his position when it came to the final design of his beloved Jaguars. At one point the team in the drawing office developing the later XJS, were left 'twiddling their thumbs' until Sir William was happy with the rear-end and it wasn't until Stan Keyworth managed to scrounge a Ferrari Dino 246GT and dropped it up to the Lyons family home on Gibbet Hill that the matter was resolved. The car was parked outside the bay window of the breakfast room for Sir William to stare at and 'Hey Presto' the back of the XJS came into being (have a look at a Dino and an early XJS). And so it was with the Mark 2, which was altogether a more modern and stylish car with a brighter interior and more balanced looks that most of us still admire. The 3.4 and 3.8 were the super-saloons of their day with the 3.8 being the fastest saloon in the world at the time. The Jaguar Mk2 was voted 'Car of the Year' when launched in 1959 and would form the mainstay of Jaguar’s saloon production until 1967.Registered on 26th July 1964, this Jaguar MKII 3.4 Automatic is an original right-hand drive UK car still powered by its original engine and has been enjoyed by just five owners. It has been subject to an earlier quality restoration with a full photographic record present in the history file together with dozens of receipts from various marque specialists. The original colour was changed to an unusual but very flattering Jaguar Primrose Yellow and the interior has been superbly re-trimmed in Red leather with Claret carpets and white edged floor mats. The veneered dash and door cappings are finished to a very high standard adding to the general ambience of the cabin making it a really nice place to be. The shut lines look good, the boot and engine bay are remarkably tidy and the whole car sits absolutely squarely on a sparkling set of chrome wire wheels.Whilst the colour combination may not suit everyone, we think this well restored MkII looks just right and at least it will be easy to spot on the North Car Park when you leave the NEC after the Classic Car Show.

Launched in 1989, the R129-series continued the SL dynasty from Mercedes-Benz, a ‘Sport Lightweight’ family which began in 1954 with the legendary 300SL Roadster and ‘Gullwing’, and has survived into its 6th generation with the current R231-series.Traditionally the most sporting model of the MB line-up, the SL was the preserve of the rich and famous when new. From the hypnotic dance of the electric hood mechanism to the roll bar that automatically flipped up if the car sensed an accident, the SL oozed sophistication with all the latest technology such as adaptive suspension with active damping, airbags, traction control, air con and a superb new five-link rear suspension all as standard.The Mercedes-Benz SL60 was the short number production AMG variant SL deemed, at the time, to be the flagship of the range. Its enormously powerful and ultra-smooth 6-litre V8 engine delivered ferocious performance which could be enjoyed from the luxury cabin for which Mercedes-Benz are renowned. This example is particularly special being, possibly, the lowest mileage SL60 on the market, and one of just 49 right-hand drive cars produced.Our car was delivered new to Sir Christopher Evans, OBE, the respected Welsh biotechnology entrepreneur who was sufficiently successful to be able to indulge himself in the finer things in life, one of which was his cossetted SL60. During his ownership from 1995 to just 18 months ago, his SL carried the registration ‘CR 1S’ and such is the condition of this car today, it was clearly lovingly cared for. With just 13,500 miles recorded from new, the condition of this car is exceptional, appearing to be almost showroom fresh. It has been enjoyed by one owner after Sir Christopher and has been serviced three times during its warranted 13,500 miles. Offered in the unusual SL60 colour of Imperial Red with Mushroom leather interior, the car appears faultless as the pictures plainly evidence.Costing more than £105,000 when new and delivering close to 410 bhp with an (unlimited) top speed of more than 185mph, this is a remarkable piece of engineering excellence. To blend such incredible performance with predictable handling and a sumptuous, electronics-packed, leather bound cabin is a feat that was only achieved by Mercedes-Benz in the nineties. Now revered as a bona fide ‘future classic’, the evidence of the appeal of the very 'best of breed', low-mileage cars is unmistakable, and accordingly, we believe this car represents serious value at today’s guide price. A rare opportunity.

1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C2

Now in its sixth generation, the Corvette began life in 1953 with the C1 - a model that inspired a generation of young Americans and gave the Ford Empire a nine-year headache. However it was the C2, the immortal Sting Ray produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolet's cash registers ringing and left us with the most desired and collectible Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray's unique and unforgettable form are said to include: the E-type Jaguar, a Mako shark once caught by Mitchell, the 'Q Corvette' concept car of 1957 and the 'Mitchell Sting Ray' design exercise. By the autumn of 1959 elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720 - the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray as we know it.The aims for the new car included: improved passenger accommodation, more luggage space and superior ride and handling and with this in mind a new ladder chassis was created for the car by Zora Arkus-Duntov, the most important element of which was the move away from a live axle to independent rear suspension, courtesy of lateral struts, radius rods and transverse leaf spring. The independent front suspension was much as before, as were the recirculating ball steering and there were a number of drive train options available including four small block V8 engines, three transmissions, and six axle ratios. One major innovation was that the C2 was available in both Convertible and Fastback Coupé form. The latter initially featured a dramatic split rear window, but rear vision was poor so this was discontinued a year into production. Detailed changes were made through the years, with the first of the big block engine options occurring in 1965 (the same year four-wheeled disc brakes became standard).The car presented here is a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette ‘Sting Ray' C2 coupé. This particular, matching-numbers, example was manufactured at the A.O. Smith plant in Ionia, Michigan on the 5th January 1965, with its engine being produced at the Flint engine plant on the 28th December 1964.Originally finished in Nassau Blue, the same livery it sports today, it comes with its ‘optional extra' side exhaust pipes and many other original parts. Under the bonnet, lurks a 5.4-litre 327 ci. V8 producing 300bhp mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox.This example of the famous Sting Ray was imported into the UK in 2015 in a fully restored condition. Our fastidious vendor, a member of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS), spent a further £13,000 on the chassis in 2016 and he now describes the body, chassis, and suspension restoration work as being close to ‘show quality'. The total amount spent apparently to bring the car to this level being circa £67,000. The car is UK registered, coming with a V5c and reprinted original dispatch data from the US, is on the Corvette Register and has been a regular and popular attendee at numerous club events.This is a very special 1965 Corvette in its original colour with correct VIN and trim tags. It looks amazing, sounds even more amazing, and goes really well with a smooth gear change and excellent brakes. This is an iconic and powerful sports car that does everything that Italian exotics do but at a third of the price. Not to be missed.

1989 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo SE 'flatnose'

Anyone who followed the "World Championship of Makes" (essentially an international championship for long-distance Sports Car racing), will remember their surprise at the shape of the new 935 when it first appeared at Mugello in March 1976. Subsequently, these "Flatnose" 935s and 936s (in Group 6) were to prove very competitive in the hands of Ickx, Mass and Stommelen and during the next two seasons managed four victories in eight World Championship races and a triumph at Le Mans in each year. However, Porsche began to worry that all these victories by the works Flatnose cars might alienate the vast number of private clients who were investing their own money in conventionally shaped competition 911s, and decided to restrict their efforts for 1978 to an entry at Le Mans. The distinctive look of the "Flachbau" (literally translated as Low Build) obviously retained its appeal in the minds of their road car customers and from 1981 until early 1989 Porsche 930 buyers could specify their car in this style to special order. Just 50 C16 cars were manufactured for the UK market.These cars were initially equipped with an uprated engine of 330bhp (from 300) mated to a 4-speed transmission. However, at the end of 1988, the uprated 5-Speed G50 gearbox was introduced, which vastly improved performance and reduced turbo lag. The factory SE also benefitted from a dual-exit exhaust system, limited slip differential, heated front seats and a sunroof.This example is a genuine factory-produced C16 Porsche 930 Turbo SE, built in January 1989 under the ‘Sonderwunchprogramm' (Special Wishes Programme). It is 1 of just 18 UK-delivered cars (including 7 cabriolets) for that model year. The first owner decided to collect the car from the factory himself and drive his new pride and joy back to the UK on 17th February 1989. Factory options included 506 (Slant Nose ROW), sunroof, leather interior, standard centre console, luggage compartment in velour carpet, heated seats and extremely rare BBS split rim alloy wheels.Finished in black with black interior, the car is presented in superb condition and has clearly lived a very well cossetted existence. The service history is simply superb with the vast majority of the 13 stamps in the original service book coming from Heddell & Deeks, who became Chapelgate, and latterly Porsche Bournemouth. Previous MoT certificates and service stamps help substantiate a total mileage of 53,761 miles.In 2011 the car was purchased by a collector in Hong Kong. He had the car serviced with Porsche, Hong Kong and the car was registered there, (registration certificate included with the history), until it was acquired by our vendor last year and returned to the UK. The V5C shows three former keepers in the UK since 1989.Extensive recent works have included a major service and a full '111-point' check by Porsche, Bournemouth in September 2015. In addition, the metering unit and cold start system have been rebuilt and the car drives extremely well indeed. On test with Silverstone Auctions, the car pulled hard through all gears and was a thrill to drive.

2001 Bentley Azure Convertible

Lot # 248 (Sale Order: 72 of 92)

The Bentley Azure made its début to genuine applause in front of a very appreciative, invited audience at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. Based on the Continental 'R' platform, it was a protracted two years in development, and Bentley essentially shared the process with Carrozzeria Pininfarina who had a long history of creating beautiful two-door convertibles. Pininfarina built the shell and the substantial powered soft-top at their factory in Italy with final assembly being carried out by Bentley in Crewe. These are large cars seating four adults in superb comfort and emanate presence and style, however, remarkably the sheer size of the Azure is disguised by its beautiful flowing lines and the car appears well-proportioned and elegant.Power came from the company's dependable 6.75 litre V8, featuring a single inter-cooled Garrett turbocharger and produced in the region of 385 bhp. With a 0-60mph time of 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 150mph, the Azure was a very quick car given its size and weight. The combination of power and refinement was a potent one and the Azure was unquestionably a very exclusive motor car and priced accordingly, with potential buyers having to apply the Montblanc to their little grey Coutts cheque books to the tune of around £230,000. From 1999 onwards the model was available at considerable extra cost with 'Mulliner Trim' which encompassed a number of options allowing customers to create their own, individual Azure. Supplied new by Jack Barclay in 2001, Y327 BHO was ordered with a number of boxes ticked on the Mulliner list including, a Continental 'T' wide body, larger alloy wheels, embroidered marque emblems on the headrests and Bentley emblems on the rear wood cappings. The vendor, who has owned this very special Bentley since 2004, informs us that the indicated mileage of just under 19,000 is warranted and is supported by both the car's service history and earlier MOT certificates. The Peacock Blue paintwork retains its deep shine with beautifully crafted flat panels and superb shut lines from front to back. The Sandstone Leather interior is nothing short of a delight, with its classic, bulls-eye air conditioning vents, gleaming sill plates, silk-smooth hide, deep carpets, and lambswool over rugs, and is a lavish display of outstanding quality and craftsmanship. Spend some time in here and it would be difficult not to feel just a little bit pleased with yourself.Sold with a fresh MOT, the original supplying dealer hand pack is complete with all the original paperwork and booklets. There can be no more stylish way for four people to arrive anywhere, and with less than 20,000 miles covered and at a guide that is about a third of its new cost, this delightful example of Crewe's finest craftsmanship deserves consideration.

1959 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan

Lot # 249 (Sale Order: 73 of 92)

Make: CadillacModel: Series 62Year: 1959Body Style: SedanExterior Color: WhiteRegistration: HSJ 629Chassis Number: 59K102822Engine Number: UnknownEngine - Displacement: 6400Cylinders: 8-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate: 0Estimate - Range: 0 - 0Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Although Cadillac had invented the tail fin in 1948, by the late 1950s others were offering their own take on the theme. In fact, the 1959 Cadillac fins were a response by Cadillac to the 1957 Chrysler line, which had borrowed Cadillac's own idea and taken it one step further. According to the late David Holls, former design director at GM, the famous fins of 1959 were the result of a directive from management that Cadillac would not be outdone by Chrysler products, in effect "Whatever they can do - we can do bigger".There was little danger of that, as the 1959 Cadillac was a modern classic that truly represented the high point of the era of fins and flash. It was huge yet remarkably docile to drive, thanks to abundant power, a first-rate automatic transmission, and excellent power steering and brakes.No other car captured the essence of the Jet Age quite like the 1959 Cadillac. In addition to sharply swept and dramatically pointed fins, surface development was a series of curves, nacelles, and character lines that could have come from one of the new jet fighters of the time. Wheel covers carried a turbine wheel motif, and there were even vestigial ventral fins at the lower edge of each rear side, passing through the fender skirts to merge into the massive rear bumper.This dramatic 1959 Cadillac is a statement about American motoring philosophy at that point in history and it is said that every old car enthusiast should own at least one at some point in their lifetime. The outrageous styling belies that fact that these are fantastic cars to drive on the road, assuming it's wide enough. When compared with its contemporaries, both domestic and European, it's a true luxury car and a pleasure to own and be seen in. The example on offer today is in overall very good condition and is reported to need no immediate work. The white paintwork and bodywork are said to be in good condition from an older re-paint, the trim is tidy and the engine and automatic gearbox are reported to be running very well indeed.We feel that the car, if so desired, could be immediately put to work as a bridal car and as such would complement any fleet of wedding cars. It would be most welcome at the dozens of County Shows that have sections for classic and interesting cars or maybe you would just like to light up a big 'Ceegar' and burble down your High Street "Boss Hog" style. A '59 Cadillac is a piece of classic Americana and we encourage all prospective bidders to come and see this one in the flesh. We welcome pre-sale inspections and think that this is a seriously tempting proposition given the realistic guide price and sheer scale of this impressive American icon.

2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

Lot # 250 (Sale Order: 74 of 92)

Make: PorscheModel: 911 GT3 RSYear: 2011Exterior Color: WhiteRegistration: N/AChassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZBS785398Engine - Displacement: 4000ccEngine Number: M9774-61B G9792-20Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate: 200,000Estimate - Range: 200,000 - 220,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was launched in 2011 and was the final development of the track-inspired series of 997 GT3 RS models. Only 600 examples were made and it was the last hurrah for the motorsport-derived Mezger flat-six that was bored out from 3.8 to 4.0 litres, the largest displacement 911 engine ever. The normally aspirated power plant was crucially mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and achieved 494bhp at 8,250rpm. The 4.0 RS is considered by many to be one of the greatest drivers' cars of all time and according to EVO Magazine when the car was released: "It is the ultimate 911, and you could easily argue it's all the car you'll ever need. It will become an icon."Ordered new from Porsche Stuttgart, this car was exported and delivered to Japan where it resided with its enthusiast owner until earlier this year. It's finished in Carrera White with contrasting Carrera GT Silver wheels and is trimmed in Black leather and Black Alcantara, complimenting the exterior perfectly and resulting in a stunning and eminently desirable 911.Having covered an indicated 27,000 miles, this RS has been regularly enjoyed and well-maintained annually with the service record showing four stamps. Presented with its book pack and import/NOVA documents the car is now ready to be registered, enjoyed and continue to be cared for.This car is a must have for the Porsche collector/enthusiast. The 4.0 holds a true place in Porsche history, not only is it the last of the Mezger engined Porsches, the RS 4.0 is the only limited edition where each car is numbered, and the 4.0 RS will probably be the last manual "RS" variant to roll out of the Porsche factory.This dazzling white GT3 RS 4.0 Limited Edition (472/600) is in superb condition and awaits your inspection.

1985 Morgan Plus Eight

Lot # 251 (Sale Order: 75 of 92)

Make: MorganYear: 1984Registration: B8 AYBChassis Number: R9438Engine Number: 10A46346Engine - Displacement: 3532ccCylinders: 8-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate: 38,000Estimate - Range: 38,000 - 44,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Although Rover's attempts to acquire Morgan in 1966 had proved fruitless, it nevertheless granted the sports car manufacturer access to its newly acquired, ex-Buick lightweight aluminium V8 engine with a view to cementing a supply contract. Hired by the Malvern works to assess the powerplant's merits/suitability, race engineer Maurice Owen lost little time in shoehorning one into a Morgan Plus 4 chassis. With trials of the resultant prototype successfully undertaken in 1967, the Plus 8 debuted at the following year's Earls Court Motor Show. Built along familiar Morgan lines, its ladder frame chassis was equipped with independent 'sliding pillar' front suspension, a leaf-sprung rear axle, and disc/drum brakes. Supported by an ash frame, its swooping bodywork looked as traditional as ever but gave no clues as to the new model's extraordinary performance potential. Backed by a four-speed Moss gearbox (Rover's own engineers had only experimented with automatic transmission up to that point), the 3.5-litre unit was credited with some 160.5bhp and 190lbft of torque. In a car weighing comfortably less than 900kg, 'Autocar' magazine found that these outputs translated into 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds and 124mph. Known for their handling, traction and braking on smooth surfaces, it was not long before Plus 8s started to appear in motor racing. The 1985 Morgan Plus Eight offered here is finished in Nutmeg with black Ambla interior trim and has only covered 7,500 miles in the hands of two owners. It's the later 5-speed model running on SU Carburettors, in remarkably original condition and obviously appears to have been cherished. The history file contains delivery letters from Morgan at the time when the waiting list was five years. The tools are still wrapped in their protective brown greaseproof paper and a complete service record with all the previous MOTs can be found in the history file.This fabulous Plus Eight has covered less than 7,500 miles in thirty years and its condition is absolutely commensurate with that. The introduction of the Plus Eight elevated Morgan into the real performance league and the joy of driving an earlier V8 needs to be experienced and transcends just the Morgan enthusiast.
