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).

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.

1947 Jaguar 1.5 SE Saloon

Lot # 252 (Sale Order: 76 of 92)

Make: JaguarYear: 1947Body Style: SaloonRegistration: CHJ 339Chassis Number: 412220Engine - Displacement: 1776ccEngine Number: KB3394Cylinders: 4-Cyl.Estimate: 35,000Estimate - Range: 35,000 - 45,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

This is where the Jaguar saloon car story really begins. In the pre-war Swallow Sidecar and SS era, the company had cut its teeth building increasingly desirable sports cars and saloons, but with the 1.5 Litre, and its larger brothers, the newly renamed Jaguar Car Company really started to fly. In the aftermath of World War II, company founder William Lyons revived Jaguar production in late 1945 with cars that carried forward the make's 1937-39 styling. That renowned Jaguar design featured swoopy, close-coupled bodywork, with flowing wings and a traditional upright radiator grille flanked by large, freestanding, headlamps. Wire wheels were standard. Known to collectors (retrospectively) as 'Mark IV' models, these original post-World War II Jaguars were produced until 1948, at which point a new design officially designated the 'Mark V' series succeeded them.Mechanically the 1.5-litre initially utilized a 1,608cc OHV four-cylinder Standard engine, but from 1938 this was bored out to 1,775cc, developing some 65bhp and was equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission. The cars were built on a separate chassis frame with suspension by semi-elliptic leaf springs on rigid axles front and rear with mechanically operated brakes using a Girling system.Despite its lack of out-and-out performance, a report at the time, compared the 4-cylinder 1.5-litre with its 6-cylinder siblings, and opined that the smallest-engined version of the car was "as is often the case ... the sweetest running car" with a "big car cruising gait in the sixties and seventies (mph)".This delightful 1.5 is an SE (Special Equipment) supplied new through Henlys Ltd of London to a Mrs. Dorothy Pratt in Leigh-on-Sea on 24th March 1947. The SE was equipped as standard with Lucas P80 headlamps, FT58 Fog Lamps, bumpers with curved ends and a heater!! Her pride and joy resided in the Essex area for the majority of its life until the early 1970s when it was loaned to a museum in Belgium.It remained on display in the museum until just three years ago when it was repatriated and shortly after purchased by our vendor. The car appears in remarkable condition having been sympathetically restored in 2010 with replacement trim sewn to the original design and a new interior roof lining also copied from the original.It has since been a long term recommissioning project for our vendor who has undertaken a full engine rebuild which included new pistons, liners, valves, bearings and oil seals, and has only covered approximately 50 'running-in' miles since. Additional work undertaken at the time included a refurbishment of the brake system and a rebuild of the car's steering box.Enclosed within the Jaguar's history file is a Jaguar/Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, invoices for work undertaken and past tax discs. Currently unregistered, having been on loan to the museum whilst the DVLA was updating registration documents to the current V5C system, this 1.5 is known to the Jaguar Owners Club and the DVLA and we are told with their assistance can hopefully be re-registered with its original registration.This fabulous post-war Jaguar saloon ticks all the boxes. It's superbly presented and should be mechanically reliable, but when you take it out for a spin, that timeless, inexplicably addictive cocktail of creaks and groans and whiffs of oil and varnish and leather and hot metal are all there. Magic.A lovely example with a wonderful charm, a rare opportunity to own a car from the formative years of Jaguar Cars.

1997 Ferrari F355 GTS

Lot # 253 (Sale Order: 77 of 92)

Make: FerrariModel: F355 GTSYear: 1997Registration: P503 SBJChassis Number: ZXFF42C000107034Engine Number: 44338Engine - Displacement: 3496Cylinders: 8-Cyl.Estimate: 70,000Estimate - Range: 70,000 - 80,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Ferrari F355 is a modern classic, so beautiful, so well-engineered and so well received that it marked the beginning of the end of the old-guard 'Ferraristi' philosophy that the only "real" Ferraris were ones with 12-cylinder engines. The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and Targa GTS burst onto the world stage in the spring of 1994. It had almost exactly the same dimensions as its predecessor the 348, yet it was virtually a new car, as its stunning coachwork indicated. Many hours of wind tunnel testing influenced the harmonious shape which incorporated an F1 style flat bottom with an air flow channel that generated enough down-force to offset any lift.The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V8 had a stunning 380 horsepower at a spine-tingling 8,250 rpm. The gearbox now had six speeds with a new type of synchromesh that made it much easier to shift. New electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface. Around Ferrari's 1.86 mile Fiorano test track, the 355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12-cylinder 512 TR and that level of performance combined with its sensational shape made it a worldwide success story.This particular F355 GTS was sold new to its first owner, a Ms Julie Kelly, on 6th January 1997 by the Channel Islands Ferrari Distributor, Melbourne Garage in Jersey. One of only 360 manual right-hand drive F355 GTS cars built, this car is finished in Giallo Modena Yellow and has a blue leather interior.

It's not always appreciated what a stir Mercedes-Benz road cars made in the 1950s. Leaving aside such obvious stars as the 300SL ‘Gullwing', there were headlines like ‘Magnificent Mercedes' whenever a new model was launched so it's not hard to see why the company applied new levels of build quality to even its most mundane models.The discreetly styled 220S, for example, featured servo-assisted brakes and an overhead camshaft engine and had a top speed of 100mph - when it was introduced in 1956, 100mph was beyond some sports cars. It was superbly assembled at a time when most post-war saloons were of dubious quality. and built down to a price.It also basked in the reflected glory of Mercedes-Benz's legendary return to Grand Prix racing in 1954 (Fangio won back-to-back World Championships) and it's winning of the 1955 World Sports Car Championship. The kudos which surrounded the model range cannot be understated especially since Mercedes-Benz insisted on direct correlations between its road cars and competition cars.With the cars it introduced in the 1950s, Mercedes-Benz began to move towards the niche in the market that it has come to call its own. It was a decision which paid off as Mercedes-Benz has become an extraordinarily successful company on the back of matchless engineering and build quality. The 220S is part of that tradition and remains one of the most desirable motorcars of its day.At the top of the range was the S Cabriolet, a stylish and graceful tourer, of which this is a fine example. 167 EVJ is particularly unusual in being one of just a handful of original right-hand drive examples built and we believe that out of the original 20 produced, only 8 remain. It was first registered on the 15th July 1957 and has had three owners since, with the previous owner purchasing the car on the 22nd May 1973 for £500 and this bill of sale is included in the file.Since our vendor purchased the car, much work has been undertaken, including a full interior retrim in red leather, a new hood, and re-chroming of the brightwork along with other recommissioning work to ensure the vehicle is in fine fettle.167 EVJ has been loved and cherished throughout and is supplied with its original instruction manual and sales brochure along with various bills and receipts from specialists such as Werner Karasch and Company, a UK V5 and a copy of the build sheets.With a comprehensive archive file, the car's rarity, and the model's importance in the history of 1950's Mercedes-Benz, this drophead 220S is a worthy consideration for any marque enthusiast.

1959 Jaguar XK150 3.8 S Fixedhead Coupe

The XK120 was launched in 1948 and was an international sensation. Succeeding developments of the XK finally put Jaguar on the world stage and the racing derivatives would be instrumental in the beginning of a hugely successful period for the company. The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK and appeared in May 1957. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the XK140 sharing the same 3.4-litre, DOHC Jaguar straight-six.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. Engine sizes were usually 3.4 litres but a much rarer 3.8 litre emerged towards the end of production. In total, a mere 150 3.8 "S" Fixedhead Coupes rolled off the production line, of these a reported 111 were right-hand drive steering.This exceptionally rare, original right-hand drive 3.8 S Fixedhead Coupe is finished in red with black leather interior and has lived a truly fascinating existence. 6007 RE was extensively raced during the 1970s and 1980s in the UK, most notably by respected historic racer Dave Preece, who raced Aston Martins at Le Mans. In the photos attached, he is seen racing the car at Silverstone and Brands Hatch for Jaguar team Oldham and Crowther.During the 1990s, this important XK150 was owned by a Doctor, who used it for road touring and endurance rallies. More recently, the car has been raced by respected Jaguar specialist Neil Fender in Malta last year. The engine and running gear are reported to be strong and the car has recently been serviced and gone through by Guy Broad. In addition, the car was subject to a bare metal repaint in 2015 and the paintwork is in lovely condition.The vendor would like the car to go to a good home, where it will be driven and enjoyed. Fender Broad have also offered to help the new owner get FIA papers for the car. We have no doubt that chassis number TS825056DN would take pride of place amongst any Jaguar collection in the world. Supplied with a number of old invoices and previous MoT certificates, it would be fantastic to see the car back on the UK historic racing scene in 2017.

The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor show in 1975 as a direct replacement for the Dino 246, and the innovative Pininfarina design with sweeping curves and aggressive lines has gone on to become one of the most recognised Ferraris of all time. Fitted with a 255bhp, 2.9 litre DOHC V8 engine fueled through four Weber 40DCNF carburetors, it was the first of a line of legendary rear engined V8 Ferraris. The 308 would accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds and was capable of reaching 159 mph. In 1980, 'more manageable' fuel injection replaced the Webers and, embarrassingly, the power output went down from 255 bhp to 214 bhp, however, two years later four valves per cylinder were added giving 'Quattro Valvole' models 240bhp. The 308 was manufactured in both GTB and GTS forms from 1977 to 1985 before being replaced by the 328.This particular 308 GTB is an original UK right-hand drive car ordered by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd. to be used as one of their demonstrators. An invoice dated 14/09/1979 made out to the importer shows that the car was finished in Blue Dino Metallic and upholstered in Sabbia leather. Other options specified from new included air-conditioning, wider wheels, and a front spoiler.The first private owner was a Mr J. Pawle Esq. of Hertfordshire, and an invoice dated 14th July 1981 shows that a Ferrari 308 GT4 2+2 was taken in part exchange against this car, which had by that point covered 5,054 miles. The service history of this car is plotted neatly through a raft of invoices in the history file which also contains a service book showing 19 stamps over the years from recognised marque specialists such as Emblem Sports Cars, Kent High Performance, and Rardley Motors.Most recently, in October 2015, the car was fully recommissioned by Mark Devaney, proprietor of 24 Hundred 'The Dino Workshop'. Eighty hours of labour was invoiced for extensive attentions which included the reconditioning of all brake callipers, new hoses, brake pads, a new master cylinder and bleeding of the system. Replacement cam belts and tensioners plus auxiliary drive belts were also fitted. All fluids were changed and an MoT carried out. Prior to our vendor's ownership, the car had a full interior retrim with new carpets, and in April of this year, the car was professionally resprayed in its original colour and now presents superbly. A set of new Michelin TRX tyres has also recently been fitted.Supplied with its dedicated book pack containing the service and driver's manuals, a toolkit, a UK V5c and an MoT until 30.6.17, this highly collectable 308 GTB, now showing 86,502 miles on the odometer, is in one of the most desirable specifications and is a delightful example of a classic Ferrari.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II

Twenty-five years ago, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II thrilled professionals and the general public alike when it was unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show. Legend has it that all the limited run of 502 cars were sold pre-launch, possibly being squirrelled away by international car collectors. The bitter rivalry between BMW and Mercedes-Benz in saloon car racing throughout Europe helped hone the greatest 'touring cars' of the era and the Evo II was pitted against one of the best touring cars of all time, the E30 M3. Compromise was out of the question and the full-race car, developed for Group 'A' using this sports saloon as a basis, went on to acquire legendary status. Mercedes-Benz took the first three places in the DTM championship in the 1992 season with this vehicle, which was referred to succinctly as the "Evo II". The engine's output had been raised once again in comparison to the first Evolution model from the previous year, the Evo II now generating 235 horsepower. Top speed was 250 km/h, and the Evo II accelerated from a standing start to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. The body had also undergone further refinement on an aesthetic and aerodynamic level and the car's sporting pedigree was emphasised by its muscular stance. The Evo II's body kit is perhaps the most outrageous ever applied to a production car, and the fact it was a product of the ultra-conservative world of early ninety's Mercedes-Benz is even more incredible. Its ostentatious, fully adjustable rear spoiler was aerodynamically perfect and the front splitter would make a decent job of cutting the grass, however, despite outward appearances, the Evo II is a comfortable and tractable daily driver. This Evo II is number 452 of 502 cars ever made by Mercedes-Benz and was supplied new to the UK by Lancaster Mercedes-Benz in 1990. The dealer sticker still resides on the back window in pristine condition. The car was purchased by a collector and stored at the supplying main dealer for approximately 10 years, only covering a few road miles during this period. The odometer is currently reading just 885 miles. The bodywork is finished in black and the paint retains an excellent even shine across all panels. The panel fit is superb and the condition of the exterior is a joy to behold. The same goes for the black interior that seems to have little or no wear to either the leather seats, dash, door cards or headlining. The engine bay is totally original and correct, with components that have been incredibly preserved over the last 26 years. Evidently, this incredible homologation special would be a welcome contender at any Concours event around the world. Any fan of the legendary ‘Group A' Touring Car era needs to see this car to truly appreciate both its originality and splendid collector status. Without question, one of the lowest mileage examples one could ever hope to find on the market today. We welcome any pre-sale inspections on this unique vehicle, one of only four Evolution II models officially sold new in the UK.

The new 1967 Mustang body shell had been designed to accept Ford's 390-cubic inch big block engine, however, Carroll Shelby had other ideas and decided to drop a Police Interceptor 428-cubic inch Cobra-Jet into the engine bay with the addition of dual carb intakes. His legendary GT500 was born and was the ‘top-of-the-line' for Mustang ownership in 1967-68.Output was conservatively claimed at 355 horsepower, however, actual output was closer to 400 with 420 foot-pounds of pavement-melting torque! The engine was mated to a four-speed manual transmission or 3-speed auto, the suspension was ‘heavy duty' and the brakes were power-assisted discs at the front with drums on the rear.The GT500 looked the part too, sporting a new front end with a unique bonnet scoop and grille-mounted driving lights, giving the GT500 Shelbys a more aggressive stance. Towards the back, it boasted rear threequarter scoops, a rear spoiler, and sequential turn signals from a 1966 Thunderbird, all of which gave the car, even more, road presence. A roll-over bar with inertia-reel shoulder harnesses completed the race-car references and the model has been immortalized with true ‘cult' status ever since. In recent years GT500s have become prized collector items and continue to perform incredibly well all over the world.Chassis number 00551 is a second series GT500 and is 1 of just 1020 examples built and 1 of 458 sold new in Candy Apple Red. It was ordered new in 1967 and delivered to Joe Myers Ford in Houston, Texas on 17th January 1968 with the fantastic 428ci 4-Valve engine.Desirable factory options included: 6,000 RPM hydraulic camshaft, manual 4-speed wide-ratio transmission, power disc brakes, power steering, ram-air intake, hood locks, remote driver's side mirror, décor black interior and tilt away steering column.Supplied in the history file is the original bill of sale from 1968, along with 78 pages of bills and receipts over the years. The car was expertly restored by Shelby marque specialists Classic Car Care of Texas benefitting from a full rotisserie rebuild and, having only covered 1,000 miles since is presented in fine condition. The paintwork retains an excellent shine and the interior is in lovely order. The engine bay is still very clean and the engine sounds incredible on start up!In 2010 this GT500 was acquired by a UK collector from Specialty Sales in San Carlos, California and he has kept the car in pristine condition covering just 200 fine-weather miles in 6 years.Offered publicly for sale for the first time ever in Europe, this incredible vehicle is included within the Shelby World Register and has a deluxe Marti Report. The Marti report confirms the car as a matching numbers example that has never had an engine change. Pre-sale inspections are encouraged and prospective bidders should contact the office for further details. This extremely rare Shelby GT500 is surely the ultimate ‘Muscle Car' and is one of the finest examples we have ever seen in Europe.

Begun in 1961, 'Project S' emerged from Citroën's requirement to develop a sports variant of the revolutionary DS. As was customary for the quirky French firm, many running concept vehicles were developed with increasingly complex and upmarket features to differentiate the 'sports' project from the popular DS. The acquisition of Maserati by Citroën in 1968 was motivated by the possibility of harnessing Maserati's high-performance engine technology to produce a true Grand Tourer, combining the sophisticated Citroën suspension with the power of a Maserati V6.The result was the Citroën SM, which was first shown to rapturous appreciation at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970. It went on sale in France in September of that year in left-hand drive only, although right-hand drive conversions were later offered in the UK and Australia. The SM was Citroën's flagship vehicle, competing with other high-performance GTs of the time from manufacturers such as Jaguar, Lotus, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo and Porsche. It was also Citroën's way of demonstrating just how much power and performance could be accommodated in a front-wheel drive design. As an example of Citroën's optimism and progressive technology, the SM was untouchable, and similarities drawn by pundits of the day to the design and futurism of aircraft such as Concorde cemented the love affair still borne by car aficionados today.The SM was a two door, four seat coupé powered by a 2670cc, Maserati, four-cam, 90-degree V6 producing 180bhp at 6,250rpm, all fed through the front wheels. In 1972 the 2.7 was changed from triple Weber 42DCNFs to Bosch Jetronic injection although later cars returned to the Webers. It was capable of 0-60 in around 8 seconds and had a top speed in fifth gear of 140mph. Suspension was 'Hydropneumatic' and the steering was 'variable-assist' hydraulic. Everything about the car was complex and innovative which is probably why they continue to generate such interest. This, 1971 SM, is a carburettor car that was originally supplied to the Italian market and was imported into the UK around five years ago where it was proudly displayed in the London Motor Museum as a design icon. It has recently undergone recommissioning and servicing including inspection and partial reconditioning of the suspension hydraulic system. The odometer is currently reading 106,000 kms.although we are unable to warrant this. The only non-standard part fitted to the car is the addition of a stainless steel exhaust built to the same design as the original components. Although the paintwork has been resprayed in the past the car has not undergone a full restoration, but it has been maintained well throughout its life and was still in use in Italy prior to being brought to the UK.The coachwork is straight and dent free with good panel gaps all round. The paintwork is reported as “in excellent condition with no scratches or stone chips and has been resprayed in the past in the original colour”. The interior trim is lightly patinated but all present and in good condition. We are told the engine “runs smoothly having just undergone a service and had the carburettors balanced, and the gearbox runs through all gears faultlessly with no knocks or rattles”.This exciting and rare piece of French exotica appears to run and drive well and is ready for a new owner to enjoy. Not currently UK registered, the car will have a NOVA number and a fresh MOT at the time of the auction and will be fully 'detailed' inside and out.

1960 Jensen 541S

At the start of the 1950s the Jensen Motor Company had a financially sound business producing commercial vehicles and building bespoke bodies for other manufacturers. As is often the way with successful entrepreneurs, the Jensen brothers enjoyed having their name on their products and having been involved for years prior to the war building small cars in conjunction with Standard, Austin and Wolseley, their attention turned again in the late forties to the possibility of creating a rather more exclusive Jensen. Richard Jensen was joined in 1946 by Eric Neale and they jointly penned the sleek (and expensive) Interceptor which remained in production from 1950-57. The bodywork was mostly aluminium, but as an experiment Jensen had started making the large boot lids in a revolutionary material formed from hair-thin glass embedded in a resinous gel, 'Glass Fibre'.Eric Neale's influence was immediately obvious in the, new for 1953, Jensen 541. He first created the distinctive 'mouth' shape, anticipating the cold air requirements of a possible big V8 although the Austin 4-litre straight six turned out to be the engine of choice, and the rest of the body flowed back from that point. A lattice of wooden body formers provided a reference over which skilled craftsmen beat a skin of aluminium. The finished car was exhibited at the 1953 Motor Show but there was one trick left up Jensen's sleeve, production cars were to be constructed from glass fibre! As production of the 541 settled down the options available increased. A package incorporating the most frequently chosen extras was applied to the car which was then marketed as the '541 Deluxe' and rack and pinion steering followed shortly in the '541R'.In 1959 work started on creating a slightly larger 541, which would be better suited to long-distance cruising. This car was to have an auto gearbox as standard and was wider and taller than its predecessor, and so was born the new 541S. Some 4” inches wider than the original 541R, while also offering increased headroom and greater luggage capacity, the ‘S’ version was generally considered to be a more practical machine and certainly more comfortable for touring. In addition to a general increase in size, the body styling changed at the same time with distinctive 'scallops' being added at the rear and on the bonnet and a new grille. Less apparent initially were the improvements these modifications made to road holding, stability and ride.In the 541S, Jensen used their own powerful version of the Austin DS5 4-litre straight-six engine featuring triple H4 SU carburettors, a high compression 'Weslake' head, custom-made twin exhaust manifolds and an alloy baffled sump/oil cooler. A total of 127 cars were hand-built between 1960 and 1962 at Jensen's West Bromwich factory, most having GM-licensed Rolls-Royce 'Hydramatic' gearboxes. This was unusual at the time as most performance cars were fitted with 'sporty' manual gearboxes but the automatic suited Jensen's criteria for the 541S of effortless speed and luxurious long distance cruising, although twenty-two were fitted with Moss manual gearboxes at their owner's request. The 541S is also notable for being the first British car to have seat belts fitted as standard equipment and the pioneering use of Dunlop disc brakes on all four wheels was carried on from the 'Deluxe'. Other safety equipment included a padded windscreen surround, fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit and each car was fitted with a quality Motorola radio as standard. Chassis Number 'JM/EXP/101 is almost certainly the automatic 541S used by Jensen in 1960 on its stand at the London Motor Show at Earl's Court. There were three experimental (EXP) cars built, ('pre-production prototypes'), two being manual and one automatic. '101' is automatic and was registered 750 CEA although the photographs from the show display the car with 'JENSEN' on the number plates. It was finished in Pearl Grey and looks superb sat on Stand 134.This car was registered to Jensen Motors for a period of some two years. A letter in the file from them confirms that during this period it was used for road tests, demonstration purposes and as an experimental car, and according to the letter was no doubt driven by the Jensen brothers and carefully looked after by the Engineering Department. It was featured in 'THE MOTOR', October 19th. 1960 and 'AUTOCAR', Feb 3rd. 1961 road test reports. Whilst currently registered 377 HWT, there is verification from both DVLA and the Jensen Owners Club that 750 CEA was its original registration. An expression of interest has been lodged with DVLA to repatriate this number rightfully back to this car. An extensive history file accompanies the car and includes the original London Motor Show 1960 Guide, press cuttings of the day, old photographs, past invoices and letters. The show car was originally Pearl Grey but at some point has been changed to its current colour of Maroon, but ins

The second generation SL began with the 230 of 1963. Designed by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, power assisted disc/drum brakes, recirculating ball steering and a 2306cc straight-six engine of 150bhp and 145 lb-ft of torque mated to either a four-speed manual or an automatic transmission. Of the 48,912 W113 Series cars made between 1963 and 1971, 19,831 were 230SLs.This left-hand drive, manual transmission, Mercedes-Benz 230SL was imported from the USA in 2011 and at the time was the subject of a sympathetic restoration.The blue coachwork is in good order and the contrasting red interior appears to show little sign of wear. Dry stored in the winter months, this 230SL has been used very little by the current vendor and, as a result, presents in excellent all-round condition.Accompanying the car is a history file of receipts and service bills, the original instruction book, and its V5C registration document.These distinctively shaped SL models were amongst the best-loved sports cars of their day and still remain highly sought after by collectors.

The BMW 502 was a luxury saloon built by BMW from 1954 and 1958, and in terms of character and style is often regarded as the ancestor of the current 7 Series. It succeeded BMW's first post-war car, the 501, a somewhat underpowered and uncompetitive 6-cylinder limousine. The company's response, launched at the 1954 Geneva Motor Show, was the 502, with its V8 engine, and subtle styling changes. There were four variants offered with the 3.2-litre Super at the top of the range. The 502 was Germany's first post-war car with a V8, but its high price of 17,450DM resulted in low sales figures, with only 190 units being sold in its first year of production, and total production of the 3.2 litre V8 variant standing at 3,865.Very few were manufactured for the right-hand drive market, and HSK 533 is seemingly one of just twelve cars produced in this format. With more than a passing resemblance to the Jaguar Mk I, one surmises the UK market preferred the Jaguar over the BMW and, realistically, it was only ten years since the end of hostilities. The 502, with its thin central pillar from which the rear suicide doors hung elegantly offered near Rolls-Royce level of rear passenger comfort and space, and in the front the wood veneered dashboard, multi-station radio, and thin steering wheel provided a simple, understated and yet functional luxury. First registered on the 4th December 1957, the HPI report shows zero former keepers, an error, we believe, as our vendor informs us that his grandfather, Leslie H. Trainer, the founder of Trainer BMW of Swansea, bought the car some forty years ago. During the 1970s, the dealership undertook an extensive programme of restoration, details of which are in the history file. A letter was sent requesting some replacement red velour from BMW Munich in 1979, and both the letter and its reply are included in the history file.As befits a restoration carried out in-house by a BMW main dealer the car presented superbly, going on to win the Munich Cup at the BMW International Concours d' Elegance in 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1986. With the expansion of the BMW dealership and a burgeoning private collection HSK 533 was laid up in 1991. An MOT dated 26th October 1991, shows the car having an odometer reading of 86,082 miles, and the tax disc displayed in the windscreen attests to the last time it was on the road, as does the current indicated mileage, showing an increment of just 14 miles since the 1991 MOT.Presented to auction in "barn find" condition, largely complete and with a history file that includes the Driver's Handbook, HSK 533 is a worthy contender for restoration with the double advantages of rarity and provenance.

Lot # 263 (Sale Order: 87 of 92)

Make: PorscheModel: 911 930 TurboYear: 1988Registration: E223ATAChassis Number: WPOZZZ93ZJS000299Engine Number: 67J00380Engine - Displacement: 3299Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate: 110,000Estimate - Range: 110,000 - 130,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine 'Supercar' that defined the Seventies and Eighties and was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0 Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am program. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail and the brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. This 1988 930 Turbo is a very desirable UK model and is finished in Grand Prix White with a two-tone blue and white leather interior. It was supplied new on the 5th of February 1988 to its first and only registered keeper by Coopers of Exeter. The odometer is currently reading only 30,857 miles from new and this number is supported by past MoT certificates, along with a number of service stamps in the original handbook.Stored in a temperature controlled environment and forming part of a large private collection, this Turbo has seen little use in recent years and remains in stunning condition, partly because in its early life it was particularly well cared for by its first owner. He was so fastidious, that even after a long day out at a local car show he would remove all the wheels after use in order to clean the wheel arches! We are told that the paintwork is original and it is still very bright and in keeping with such a low mileage example. Certainly, the inner wings and boot area look highly original with a light wax finish and similarly, the seats and interior are in superb condition and show very little signs of use on the driver's bolster and carpets.The history file contains past bills and receipts detailing expenditure and general upkeep over the years, along with the aforementioned MoT certificates and the original bill of sale from Coopers of Exeter. The 930 Turbo was the car many of us dreamt of in our childhood but now suddenly they are back and a 'must-have' for a new generation of collectors. This superb two owner, Grand Prix White, Porsche 930 Turbo must be seen to be believed.

The Corniche, two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow, has been without a doubt the most successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the "Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward two door, drophead coupé", it became apparent by popular demand that this version would deserve to have its own model name so in march 1966 the Corniche was born.This particular car has been the pride and joy of one previous owner for over thirty years and is now showing just over 19,000 miles. The condition of the vehicle is testament to the low mileage, with every detail still in incredible condition. The biscuit leather, lambs wool over rugs, wooden dashboard and ‘Everflex' vinyl soft top remain completely original and in truly exceptional order.The history file contains the original leather-bound owner's handbook, complete with manuals, warranties, service booklet and even photographs of both the car and owner when purchased at a Rolls-Royce dealership. Supplied new with a period wood-rim Nardi steering wheel and a unique 24K gold ignition key with grille and spirit emblem.The electrics and mechanics work smoothly and flawlessly to give that ultimate Rolls-Royce feeling. It performs effortlessly on the motorway and even in traffic, the gearbox shifts smoothly and both the brakes and suspension are in fine working order. Supplied with specialist service history, this truly incredible example is ready to be enjoyed.

1957 Mercedes-Benz 190SL

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was the first iteration of the SL-Class grand tourer and the fastest production car of its day. Introduced in 1954 as a two-seat coupé with distinctive gull-wing doors, it was later offered as an open roadster. Hugely successful in Europe and across the pond, coupe and roadster production topped out at 3,258 cars. Its successor, the 190SL, combined superlative build quality with understated styling and a not insignificant 104bhp from the 1.9 litre, four stroke engine. An instant hit, the three-pronged star sparkled among the gloom of post-war austerity. The 1955 launch of the 190SL cemented Mercedes-Benz's reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Unsurprisingly most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market.Bought by our vendor, a retiring classic car restorer, in 2015 this 1957 190SL was imported into the UK from the United States. Currently on a NOVA with taxes settled, this doughty survivor is offered in true "barn find" condition. The lower half still retains some white paint alluding to its former colour, as does the remarkably preserved white painted dashboard. The bare metal panels show welded repairs to the wings, and most of the mechanical components are in place including the engine, gearbox and axle.Currently unregistered, the car offers the successful purchaser a myriad of options both in the UK and overseas. Starting with an application to Mercedes-Benz for the car's data sheet, the information provided will enable the car to be restored to its former glory. Further research could uncover the car's history since 1957, a bit of detective work that can often prove quite enjoyable. Another option, considering its condition and the fact that just 562 right-hand drive 190SLs were produced, is to convert the car to right-hand drive.To conclude therefore, with prices of the best 190SLs hitting £200,000, and decent cars in excess of £100,00, this survivor is truly worthy of a restoration and deserves to see the boulevard once again.

2007 BMW Z4 M Roadster

Lot # 266 (Sale Order: 90 of 92)

Make: BMWModel: Z4 M RoadsterYear: 2007Body Style: RoadsterRegistration: TBAChassis Number: WBSBT92010LD39770Engine - Displacement: 3246Engine Number: 60313913Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate: 18,000Estimate - Range: 18,000 - 22,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

The BMW Z4 was introduced in 2002 and was styled by BMW's Danish designer Anders Warming. The car had its own distinctive appeal that helped it take on the Porsche Boxster directly, where the earlier Z3 had always trailed in the Porsche's wake. Thanks to a spread of engines and dose of practicality, the Z4 also managed to challenge the Mercedes SLK and Audi TT to be a very competent all-round roadster. They were all fully built at BMW USA's South Carolina plant with the exception of the Z4M, launched in 2006, which was assembled in Carolina using engines and transmissions from BMW's 'M' Division in Germany. The essence of any 'M' car is always the powertrain really and the heart of the Z4M is the special grey-cast-iron-block 3.2-litre straight-six (iron was used iron for extra rigidity at high rpm). Designated S54, it's the last in the M50 line of engines and benefited from all the latest technology, including individual ‘fly by wire' throttle bodies and dual variable cam timing (VANOS in BMW-speak) which all helped it to pump out 338bhp at 7900rpm and 269lb ft of torque at 4900rpm, with an 8000rpm red line. All these 'Pferde' are directed towards the back wheels through a Getrag 'Type H' 6-speed. Engine management, however, is specific to the Z4M: the Siemens MSS70 with higher processing power (64 million calculations per second) than the MSS54 (25 million CPS) in the M3. Other performance parts borrowed from the M3 include the CSL's compound (aluminum hubs, stainless steel pins, cross drilled iron floating rotors) brakes and most of the M3's suspension components. Other changes include a hydraulic steering setup which provides better feel than the electric system in standard Z4 models. Weighing 3197 lb (1450 kg), the M Roadster has been tested by a number of car magazines to accelerate from Zero-60 mph in 4.7 seconds, which is slightly quicker than the Porsche Boxster S and Porsche Cayman S. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (249 km/h).The 2007 Z4M Roadster offered here is finished in sparkling Ruby Black Metallic with Imola Red Nappa leather and a leather carbon dash and our vendor believes his is one of only 25 Roadsters in this combination.At the time of consignment, the indicated mileage was only 24,850 miles and the registration document shows that it has been enjoyed by four owners. The car has been regularly serviced and maintained and the file has details of inspections and maintenance right through from its Pre Delivery at Stratstone BMW on 16/10/07 to the latest service (inspection 1 and 2) by Sytner, Nottingham at 19589 miles. The car was granted an MOT certificate on 14/07/16 at 23,374 miles.The car will be accompanied by its original handbooks and stamped service book, however, the cherished registration number, previously on the car has been retained and a new V5 will be issued by the time of the sale.This Z4M appears to be in excellent condition and has patently been cared for over the years. The warranted mileage is very low for a nine-year-old car but it looks to have done half of that. The engine bay is very clean, the interior is striking with no obvious signs of wear, and the paintwork has retained that intriguing Rubinschwarz 'twinkle'.All in all, this is a fast and charismatic little Z4M roadster and is a sensible proposition as a sports tourer. The market has started to recognise their future potential and good ones are getting harder to find.

1992 Ferrari 512TR

Lot # 267 (Sale Order: 91 of 92)

Make: FerrariModel: 512 TRYear: 1992Registration: J264OFXChassis Number: ZFFLA40B000093206Engine Number: 30567Engine - Displacement: 4943Cylinders: 12-Cyl.Estimate: 120,000Estimate - Range: 120,000 - 140,000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa (F110) at the 1984 Paris Motor Show, marking the end of production of the legendary Boxer that had been the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa (Red Head) paid homage to the great 1950's sports racers that originally bore that name, referring to their bright red rocker box covers.The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the centre of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car resulting in the weight distribution being 40/60 front and rear, almost an ideal balance in terms of road holding and steering response. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor, some 6 inches wider and 2.5 inches longer at 2550mm, allowing for more leg room and combined with the raised roof height in the cabin made progress a little more comfortable, provided you could see the corners of the car, which you couldn't.Production of the 512TR commenced in 1991 with deliveries to customers in 1992 and was effectively a re-engineered Testarossa, although Ferrari were keen that it was regarded as a new model. As well as the slightly less dramatic styling and a few tweaks to the detailing the main changes were chassis and engine related. The power of the 4.9 Litre, 48 valve, flat 12 was increased to 428 bhp from 380 with a similar improvement in torque, and with the benefit of a 30kg weight reduction on the earlier model, 0-60 times fell from 5.3 to 4.9 seconds. This particular left-hand drive 512TR was supplied on 1st April 1992 to a Mr.Stellato in Milan by Ferrari Main Dealer Crepaldi Auto S.P.A. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa with a Nero Black leather interior, and upon opening the door to the cockpit the 'new car smell' is still evident. Serviced in April 1992 after 435km, the car was obviously infrequently used as the next service was carried out by SportCar S.N.C. of Milan in September 2015 at 7,930km. An invoice in the file for 3,400 Euros documents this, most recent, service which did include all the belts being changed.Supplied with its full original leather book pack, spare keys, original toolkit, an MoT until 12th October 2016, and a UK V5c, this 512TR now shows only 8,308km on the odometer, which is the equivalent of 5,157 miles, and is possibly one of the finest conditioned 512 TRs we've seen for some time. Low mileage examples such as this rarely come to market, and this stunning car represents the perfect opportunity for any Prancing Horse enthusiast.

The Mercedes-Benz 'R230' first appeared in 2001 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but it was in 2003 that the seriously powerful SL55 AMG version was introduced. Massively fast and dramatic to look at, the 5.4-litre engine produced 476 BHP and a tree stump pulling 520 lbs/ foot of torque! Early owners included the difficult-to-impress, Jeremy Clarkson, and even he was on record as being a massive fan of the way it drove, the way it looked and above all, the way it sounded! Featuring the amazing "Panoramic Electric Glass Roof System", it became the sports car to own between 2003 and 2006.This SL55 AMG was supplied new to the UK, and boasts an incredible factory specification that includes Active Body Control suspension, Red AMG logo, Electronic orthopaedic massaging and heated memory seats, Satellite Navigation, Automatic Variable and Paddle Shift Gearbox, glass roof, Xenon headlights and AMG wheels.Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic with a red leather interior, this SL55 is presented in superb order and has covered just over 89,500 miles from new. A full service history is supplied in the accompanying file, along with bills and receipts for work carried out and original book pack and manuals. The fuel tank was also recently replaced, a common fault on these models, and new control arms and bushes fitted on the front suspension.Offering genuine supercar performance for a most realistic outlay, this comfortable car can be used every day and, in terms of approachability, is a genuine "sheep in wolf's clothing".
