Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. 5.5 The actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as that appears by its outward appearance. In particular, parts may have replaced or renewed and Lots may not be authentic or of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot may not be visible and may not be original or may be damaged, as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material. Given the age of many Lots they may have been damaged and/or repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in good condition. 5.6 Any person who physically interferes with, scratches or damages the Lot in any way (at, before or after the Auction) will be held liable for the loss so caused. 5.7 The Seller is responsible for delivering the Lot in a presentable and saleable condition.

Alterations and Estimates 6.1 Estimates and descriptions may be amended at SAL’s discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during an Auction. 6.2 The Lot is available for inspection and any potential bidder must form their own opinion in relation to it. You are strongly advised to examine any Lot or have it examined by a specialist or engineer on your behalf before the Auction. 6.3 SAL gives no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. 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. Warranty by the Seller 7.1 The Seller warrants to the Buyer and to SAL that: 7.1.1 the Seller is the owner of the Lot or is properly authorised to sell the Lot by the owner, and is able to sell the Lot with full title guarantee free from all encumbrances and third party claims and in particular that there is no outstanding finance affecting the Lot; 7.1.2 The description of the Lot in the Catalogue is to the best of the Seller’s knowledge accurate and not misleading.

Vehicle Registration Numbers 8.1 If the Seller wishes to sell the Motor Vehicle but to retain the right to the registration number of the Motor Vehicle it is the Seller’s Responsibility to notify SAL in writing. 8.2 It shall be the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current vehicle registration number is retained and that a new number is allocated prior to the Motor Vehicle being sold at the Auction. 9. Bidding and Reserves 9.1 Admission to the Auction requires the purchase of a Catalogue which must be presented at the entrance to the Auction. SAL do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and submitted a registration form. Proof of identification will be required in the form of a passport or driver’s licence, together with a recent utility bill showing your current address, before the registration process can be completed. 9.2 The Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller, up to the Reserve on the Lot. 9.3 The Seller may place a Reserve on any Lot when he consigns it to the Auction, and once placed it may not be changed without the written consent of SAL. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by SAL in writing. 9.4 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only SAL at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller. 9.5 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, SAL shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue. 9.6 SAL may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that SAL accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve. 10. Commission and Expenses 10.1 SAL shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 5% of the Hammer Price for vehicles and 10% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by SAL in writing (“Seller’s Commission”) plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to SAL. 10.2 The Seller acknowledges SAL’s right to retain the Buyer’s Premium payable by the Buyer. 11. Insurance 11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer.

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

In the early 1950s, a team of GM engineers, headed up by Harley Earl, went to work trying to create a car that had the appeal to compete with European sports cars. This car, dubbed the Corvette ‘Dream Car ', debuted at the GM Motorama show, which was held at the stylish Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. At the conclusion of Motorama 's US tour, GM stated that over four million people had seen the car with the majority expressing a desire to get behind the wheel of the new Corvette. The first true American sports car was born!Production of the two-seat roadster was fast-tracked and started in June 1953, with these early cars being essentially hand-built. With a ‘Blue Flame ' six-cylinder engine and smooth ‘Powerglide ' transmission, it was a true roadster with no side windows and basic weather protection. By the end of 1953, a total of only 300 Corvettes had rolled off the assembly line in Flint, Michigan, all in Polo White with Sportsman Red interiors. Just 225 examples from 1953 are known to still exist today, with these rare examples now commanding in excess of $500,000. For all practical purposes, the 1953 and 1954 Corvettes were the same, albeit for some minor design improvements, including the exhaust outlets, the locations of the fuel and brake lines, starter motor, air cleaners and a window storage bag. Unlike the 1953 model, the 1954 cars were now available in a variety of colour combinations.In 1954, GM moved the Corvette's assembly to a newly renovated plant in St Louis, Missouri interrupting production slightly and thwarting Chevrolet's ambition to produce 1,000 units per month, the actual number built for the model year 1954 being only 3,640. (with a chassis/VIN number sequence running from E54S001001 – E54S004640 and engine numbers using the prefix LG). The 1953 cars are rarer and have the cachet of being first year models, but all Corvettes produced in this two-year period were fitted with the same six-cylinder in-line, ohv, 235 cu in (3.9-litre) engine. The car presented here is a 1954 Corvette (Model 2934), with the correct specification of a ‘Blue Flame ' engine with three single-barrel Carter side-draft carburettors attached to an effortless ‘Powerglide ' automatic transmission. Looking resplendent in the original and classic combination of Polo White with Sportsman Red interior, this car is chassis/VIN number E54S004574 (E = denotes early 6-cylinder engined Corvettes, 54 = denotes 1954 for year of manufacture, S = denotes St. Louis as the final assembly plant, 004574 = denotes production sequence number), meaning it is one of the last 60 Corvettes built for the 1954 model year. It should, therefore, be fitted with an uprated camshaft, giving 155 bhp (up 5 bhp), but this is not confirmed. Externally the engines look the same, but the more powerful version can only be detected by inspecting the camshaft – later camshafts have three dots between the fifth and sixth inlet cam lobes.According to our vendor, who is a prominent car collector, when he was in America six years ago he came across this car for sale in the dry state of Arizona. Having travelled to inspect it, he tells us he was amazed by its unspoilt condition, with the original paint apparently still in place, albeit with signs of wear. The seller stated that he believed the indicated mileage of 44,382 miles to be correct, having owned it for the previous 35 years. Having bought it, our vendor started its recommissioning back in the UK and was delighted to find that upon removing the paint, it was apparent that the car was very straight, showing no signs of repair or accident damage. Obviously bent on doing this car justice, he spent £18,600 on having it expertly painted, all the original brightwork re-plated, and the interior completely re-trimmed in the correct colour. He tells us that all the componentry works as it should, even down to the clock and interior lamps. The brakes have been stripped and rebuilt and the carburettors have been restored and set-up, ensuring the car runs as well as it presents. It is UK-registered, having a V5C document and a UK registration number Unfortunately, the US Vehicle Title document for the car, which supports its ownership history, was retained by the DVLA, with no copy being made, and the car is not accompanied by any early history records, which is not uncommon for US cars, but there is an invoice for its painting. Looking quietly at this superb, sparkling white C1 Corvette, it's not hard to understand why the population of Middle America, with the memories of a World War fading and the evidence of future prosperity all around, fully endorsed the period Chevrolet advertising calling it 'First of the Dream Cars to come true”.

Lot # 327 (Sale Order: 27 of 77)

Make: Aston MartinModel: DB6Year: 1967Registration: TBCChassis Number: SB63065REngine - Displacement: 3995Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 265000 - 295000Guide Price: 265000 - 295000(+13.2% premium inc.VAT@20%)

The culmination of Aston Martin's long-running line of 'DB' six-cylinder sports saloons and thus considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston, the DB6 had been introduced in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Carrozzeria Touring-developed 'Superleggera' body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication while retaining the aluminium outer panels.Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now 4" longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a 'Kamm tail' with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, as the DB6's overall length increased by only 2 inches.The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification, complete with triple Webers. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time, there was optional power-assisted steering.This lovely DB6 was supplied by H.R. Owen on the 8th April 1967 and delivered to Mrs Dugan-Chapman, in Pacific Blue with Woburn Sand Connolly hide and an automatic gearbox. It's notable that she was married to Charles Dugan-Chapman, (born Ignacy Czajka), who grew to prominence as one of the elite band of fighter pilots of the Polish Air Force flying with the RAF during the Second World War. According to his obituary, dated 27th April 2002, he was discharged at the end of the war with the rank of Captain and awarded the Polish Cross of Valour and went on to establish Stewart Plastics which he sold for £30,000,000 in 1986.According to correspondence between our vendor and the Aston's second owner, a Mr Stringer, it appears he bought the car from Mrs Dugan-Chapman at some point in 1975. In 1976/77 a persistent engine problem necessitated a factory replacement, supplied by Aston Martin, and Mr Stringer confirms that after the installation of the new engine the car only covered a further 1,000 miles before its sale to our vendor on the 1st November 1993. He purchased the car as a long-term restoration, and in July 2016 this was completed having been bare-metal resprayed and restored mechanically by 355 International of Surrey, at a cost of some £20,000. The restoration was too extensive to list here but included new wheels, fuel pump, enhanced JMB water pump, belts, brakes, headlining and wiring.Mercifully the interior has been retained in original condition, and although showing wear, notably some torn stitching on the driver's shoulder bolster, the car stands as a testament to our vendor's sympathetic restoration. It is notable, that the speedometer is currently indicating 48,400 miles and our vendor has stated that the car has travelled less than 700 miles under his twenty-four year ownership, so the engine has only been run for a total of some 1,700 miles since its replacement in 1976/77.The extensive history file, collated across two folders, shows a myriad of invoices, correspondence between the owners, a biography of the first owner's husband and a copy of page 7 of the Daily Telegraph dated 4th April of this year recounting how the car was stopped in its tracks by an inquisitive New Forest pony on our vendor's return journey from the Aston Martin meeting at Beaulieu.To conclude, it is rare to see an Aston Martin of this era still finished in its original colour scheme and retaining its factory interior. The automatic gearbox is ideal if long distance touring is on the agenda and this delightful DB6 would be perfect for a blast down to the South of France when its increased interior space, extra luggage capacity, serious performance and high-speed stability would make it an excellent companion.Please note that the private registration number is not included in the sale and retention proceedings have begun.

1954 Aston Martin DB2/4

The Aston Martin DB2/4 was launched from Feltham in October 1953 and was offered as a sporting 2+2 hatchback or an open Drophead Coupé. Although similar to the DB2 it replaced, changes included a smaller fuel tank, rear suspension upgrade, wraparound windscreen, larger bumpers, and repositioned headlights. A number of special bodied cars were also produced by Italian coachbuilders Carrozzeria Allemano, Bertone, and Vignale who were commissioned at special request by private clients. David Brown had purchased the Lagonda company a few years earlier, primarily to obtain the W.O.Bentley designed, double overhead camshaft straight six, which he wanted as a replacement for the aging Claude Hill four cylinder unit. He knew success in motorsport would benefit sales, and used the 2.6-litre, six-cylinder unit to power the works DB2s which were campaigned at Le Mans and across Europe throughout the early 1950s.The DB2/4 engine (VB6J) was initially tuned to 125bhp, propelling the car to 120mph and 0-60mph in 11.2 seconds. However, in the summer of 1954, the capacity was increased from 2,580cc to 2,992cc, which raised power to 140bhp at 5,000rpm and reduced the 0-60mph time to 10 seconds dead. The Autocar described the DB2/4 in October 1953 as: "an expensive car designed to cater for the connoisseur of sports cars who is not limited by financial considerations.... a car of rare quality, unusual performance, exceptional road worthiness and unrivaled versatility." - a description that, I suspect, Aston Martin would be proud to have applied to any of their current models.This, left-hand drive, DB2/4 underwent a complete body-off professional restoration to a very high standard in 2009 and still retains its original colour scheme of Deep Carriage Green paintwork with beige interior. The well-respected specialists Century Classics have recently checked all the mechanical components with a view to entering the car into the much celebrated Italian sporting tour, the 1000 Miglia. Their work included a cylinder head overhaul with all new valves (larger Mk3 inlet valves fitted) complete overhaul of the steering including a new uprated steering box, complete brake overhaul with relined shoes, new wheel cylinders and rebuilt master cylinder, all new wheel bearings, strip and check the gearbox and rebuild with new bearings and oil seals, refit with new clutch. The wheels are new stronger DB4 style wheels with new Michelin Pilot tyres.As a result of all this love and attention, this elegant fifties sporting coupé is potentially Mille Miglia eligible and has an FIVA ID card, which is absolutely necessary for 1000 Miglia S.r.l. entry. It must be said though that these papers are not transferable to the new owner and it will have to be re-applied for, but as the 2018 event is some way off, and this beautiful Aston looks to tick all of the boxes and already has a card, this is surely a very worthy candidate to take to one of the world's most prestigious events. A full history of the rebuild and other work undertaken together with many photographs and a British Motor Heritage certificate is included.The guide price of this car is considerably less than the cost of finding, buying and restoring a 'barn find' with the huge advantage of being able to use and enjoy it immediately, so don 't miss out.

1979 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo

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 programme. 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. As confirmed by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this very early 3.3 (930) Turbo was first delivered and registered through Porsche Cars GB on 12th January 1979. It was finished at the factory in November 1978 and was ordered with Grand Prix White paintwork and a Black leather interior. Additional options included: impact absorbers, sports seats, air conditioning, sliding roof, electric door mirror, and funky hatched black side lettering.The car has covered 75,000 miles and is supported by good service records. A documented speedo replacement was carried out in 1987 at 34,000 miles and the new odometer is now reading 41,000 miles. The gearbox was rebuilt and a new clutch fitted in 2005 at 34,000 miles, and a top-end engine rebuild was carried out in 2015, since when it has only travelled 1,500 miles.The car is described by our vendor as coming with an "exceptional documented history" with a large number of tax discs, previous MoT Certificates and service records. Other recent work includes a fuel system overhaul, leak-down test on the engine, rebuilt front brake callipers, suspension geometry setup, alloy wheel refurbishment, and new Pirelli tyres.The Porsche COA confirms the engine as the original, and it's also supplied with its original keys, original service book, tool kit, etched windows, supplying dealer plates/stickers and the correct original working radio/cassette. Having just passed its MoT with no advisories, this sparkling 930 Turbo is ready for a summer of Porsche motoring at its very finest.

In May of 1992 Porsche announced that it was planning to produce a very special limited edition of its current 964 Turbo that was to be christened the 911 'Turbo S Leichtbau' (Light build). They expected to build 25-50 units (later upped to 80), they would be sold through Porsche Centres at a price not exceeding 300,000 DM, and the car was to be built in the fiscal year ending July 1992. The new project was to be a lightweight, road-legal, Turbo that would feature an increased engine output, together with enhanced handling and subtle styling differences. A prototype was built using a 1992 3.3ltr Turbo chassis and the '1992 Turbo S Leichtbau' came into being but, ironically, production did not start until July 1992 meaning that they were all built in the 1993 Model Year. The car was a development of the Turbo S2 and the target was to increase engine output by around 40bhp, however, that was comfortably exceeded and, in the end, an additional 61 horses were found bringing net power up to 381 bhp. Porsche explained: "With different camshafts, precision-machined intake ducts, slightly higher charge pressure and an optimised ignition and fuel injection system, this six-cylinder engine was capable of producing 381 bhp. To deliver all that power to the road surface safely, the car was lowered by 40 millimetres and the running gear was given firmer settings." However, the main quest was to find a significant weight reduction, and in this, they were very successful reducing the overall weight by 180 kg. This was achieved by doing without under body protection, sound-proofing, air conditioning, power steering and rear seats. Further savings came from thin glass, aluminium doors, a carbon fibre luggage compartment and even thinner carpets. The actual build numbers for this model have been misquoted over time with official Porsche records concluding 80 Leichtbaus were built initially. In fact, there were an additional 6 vehicles. The 81st car was added on as part of the recorded end of production run on November 20, 1992. The 82nd - 86th cars lack definitive production information in the Porsche official records for their final production and delivery dates. The fabulous 911 on offer here is a 964 Turbo S 'Leichtbau' which, according to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, was completed on 13/12/1992, is chassis number 51 of the 86 cars and carries, unusually, a C99 Country Code. It's finished in Gloss Black (one of only six) with a Black Leather interior with 'Triple-Tone' Recaro seats in Rubystone (Pink, Cherry and Lilac) and a matching wheel. It's in full lightweight specification with Kevlar panels, has manual steering and LSD, but still retains the Airbags and Air Conditioning. The car was registered in the UK in January 2014 with full AFN history since then, however, sadly nothing before. The indicated mileage is just short of 69,000 kms but we are unable to warrant this. With the lack of early history and the potential value of this rare car, we took the decision to have a '230 Point Porsche Report' carried out by 'Porsche inspections.com' and rather than try and paraphrase their conclusions we felt it best to just publish them. 'This car, a 911 (Type 964) Turbo S 'Leichtbau' is a 1993 model year (as shown by the 'P' at the tenth digit of the vehicle Identification number. The engine is a single turbo 3.3 litre (376 bhp) unit with the G50, 5-speed manual gearbox. The car is left-hand drive in black with a black interior and coloured highlights. Unusually the country code is shown as C99, which suggests the car could originally have been specified as a 'racing vehicle' but a roll cage does not appear to have been fitted, it is possible the car was built at the Weissach motorsport facility or went through the Porsche 'Special Wish' program but there is no conclusive data to verify this. The original service book is missing, a Porsche replacement is provided showing servicing carried out by the current custodian. Due to the missing early history and unusual country code, it is impossible to verify the current mileage but the general condition of body and interior would tie in with the recorded mileage of 68,868 kilometres.

The car has all matching numbers, checked against a data print from Porsche Cars GB. The body is fitted with aluminium doors, Kevlar luggage lid and rear spoiler.

Following the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. These carry eccentric weights which produce inertial forces that balance out the unbalanced secondary forces, resulting in a four-cylinder engine that feels as smooth as a six.Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the braking and suspension systems. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward.A 'turbo' version of the 944 was always on the cards, and the forced induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, necessitating an upgraded clutch and gearbox. The chassis was further developed and thicker anti-roll bars and four-pot brake callipers were fitted to deal with the significantly increased performance. Externally, a smoother nose panel and a larger rear spoiler distinguished it from its lesser siblings. In February 1991, (the final year of 944 production), Porsche released the 944 Turbo Cabriolet which combined the Turbo S' 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg. Porsche initially announced that 600 would be made, but ultimately 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African markets. This then is a very rare and capable model, with a 0-62 mph time of under 6 seconds, and was produced for just one year, with only 32 examples believed to still reside in the UK.Presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 944 Turbo Cabriolet supplied new by AFN Porsche, London on the 31st January 1992. Finished in the classic Porsche colour combination of Guards Red with a Black leather interior and black carpets throughout, this car is in superb condition and has today covered just 50,319 miles. It was serviced by Porsche Centres (AFN, Dick Lovett, Merlin) from 2,338 miles to 44,240 miles, and latterly by marque specialist Jaz Porsche. It comes with an original and fully stamped-up Porsche Service Book plus numerous invoices for maintenance plus MoT data which helps verify the indicated mileage. Indeed, this car has been used sparingly during the last 17 years, having covered just 9,462 miles during this period! Now being sold from part of an enthusiast 's collection, this car has recently benefited from some recommissioning, having been freshly painted and fully serviced (including cam-belt). This fabulous, open-top, Porsche has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, really well. Small but important details like factory stickers still in situ, an original sales brochure, two sets of keys, a complete book pack, a Porsche inflation kit, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity help support its dutiful ownership. This is a simply a lovely example of one of the rarest and most sought-after Porsche models from the 1990s. It was recently selected to feature in 'Ultimate Porsche' magazine.The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the '911 explosion'.

The Volkswagen 'Type 2' was introduced in 1950 as a multi-variant utility vehicle and was designated as a Transporter, Kombi or Microbus depending on body type. It was conceived as a natural partner to the Volkswagen Type 1, better known as the original 'Beetle'. The first generation of these versatile vehicles carried the works nomenclature T1 and were produced with distinctive split-screens (subsequently known as 'Splitties') from 1950 until 1967. Only two models were originally offered, the Kombi and the Commercial, with the Microbus being added in May 1950, to be joined by the, comparatively luxurious, Deluxe Microbus in June 1951.Earlier versions of the Deluxe Microbus featured eight rear side windows, two rear corner windows plus an additional eight small 'skylight' windows, and many years later in the mysterious world of Type 2 ownership, they are now revered as the '23-window'. From the 1964 model year with its wider rear door, the rear corner windows were discontinued, making it, not unnaturally, the '21-window'. The 23 and later 21 window variants each carry the famous nickname 'Samba' and are especially sought after.The Samba often had a long fabric sunroof and was usually painted in two colours with the upper part in white and the two tones being separated by a decorative strip. Sambas have a more comprehensive dashboard than the normal T1, and are often fitted with an attractive sun-visor over the split-screen, in VW parlance known as a 'hat'.With the introduction of the T2, the Samba body-style no longer featured, making these early and rare models very collectable and almost legendary. Presented here is a 1966 Samba fitted with the M164 sliding door option from new. Only available on the 21-window Deluxe Samba model during production years 1966-67, the M164 sliding door addition represented an expensive option and consequently, not many non-commercial customers ticked this box, meaning this model represents one of the rarest Sambas in existence. Research done by our vendor, has revealed that, including this vehicle, it is believed only nine other known LHD Microbus Deluxe with the M164 option survive worldwide. More interesting is the fact that, of those nine, only five are known to be 'bulkhead' models with this vehicle being one of only four in its original colour combination. The other three reside in Germany, Belgium and the USA.There are two VIN plates in place on this Samba, one on the overhead air-box with the bus type and year of manufacture etc. and one behind the passenger seat documenting the M-codes. Another rare option on this Samba is the ‘Eberspacher ' heater. Located in the engine bay and running on petrol, this basic yet lovely ‘bolt on ' extra was used to heat the van whilst it toured the Swiss Alps, which was, of course, the Samba's original 'raison'd'etre'.According to our vendor, some evidence exists to verify the Samba 's history. It is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen, confirming it was manufactured in Wolfsburg, Germany on 6th June 1966, and was originally delivered to a Volkswagen dealership in Hanover. Following its time in Germany, it's believed that the vehicle was sold to a hotel or tour operator in French-speaking Switzerland. The full early history after the initial sale cannot be confirmed, but an original French language sales brochure, complete with a picture of an identical M164 model plus an original TCS (Swiss Automobile Association) membership book and numerous 1960's touring maps of the Swiss Alps are included in the history file.After some years of Swiss Alps touring duty, it is believed to have returned to Germany where it remained until 2006 prior to being exported to the UK for restoration. It was sold by a specialist in the South East of England to a gentleman in Edinburgh, where it resided for the next three years, enjoying some partial restoration. During 2009 it was sold to a buyer from Staffordshire who arranged a full restoration to original specification before he, in turn, moved abroad. It was then sold to our vendor in 2014 after discovering it slumbering somewhat at the back of a garage. The vehicle was transported to his impressive workshop to finally complete the long drawn out process of returning this lovely Samba to its former glory. Now resplendent in its original factory colours of Beige Grey over Titian Red, and with many of its original parts, painstakingly restored and refitted, this is one of the best-presented examples of these iconic vehicles we have ever seen. The flat-four, air-cooled, 1500cc engine is now in rude health and runs well with reliable Petronix electronic ignition and twin Solex carbs. and the engine bay is as 'pretty as a picture'. There is full photographic evidence of the step-by-step restoration process.We welcome any inspection of this remarkable vehicle.

1992 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS Lightweight

The 911 Carrera RS 3.6 was introduced by Porsche in 1992 and was developed specifically for the European market as a 'track-ready' lightweight version of the Carrera 2. Whilst the RS did not look substantially different from other top-end 911s, Porsche engineers utilised the simple and time-honoured motorsports philosophy of "reduce weight, add power" to produce the most dynamic 911 since the original Carrera RS in 1973.Porsche went to great lengths to reduce the weight of the 964RS by nearly 175 kilograms. Aluminium was used for the doors and bonnet, and thinner glass was used for the side and rear windows. Inside, Porsche disposed of the 911's usual luxuries, including its rear seats, power windows, electronically adjustable front seats, and front armrests. They also chose to forgo power steering, resulting in greater steering interaction and feedback for the driver.Thanks to the use of a lightweight, single-mass, flywheel, the Carrera RS enjoyed a healthy boost in power, as well as making the 3.6-litre flat six considerably more throttle-responsive than the standard unit in the Carrera 2. With its narrow body, and lack of a rear spoiler, the elegant and powerful type 964 is amongst the most sought after modern non-turbocharged 911 variants.Supplied new on 1st March 1992 by JCT 600, this desirable and rare, C16, UK right-hand drive Porsche 964 RS was finished in the ever popular colour combination of Guards Red with a Black leatherette and Dark Grey / Pearl Grey leather bucket seats. A leather steering wheel completes the look in the purposeful and minimalist cabin where the focus is purely on the driving experience. The service records on this car are comprehensive, with the first 12 services being carried out by Porsche Main Dealers, taking the car up to 52,342 miles where it had been serviced by Porsche Swindon in 2003. Thereafter, the car has been maintained by marque specialists, with a further 6 stamps shown in the book, the last of which was carried out by Heritage AutoWerks in March 2016. At that time, the door cards were also retrimmed and refitted. Also included in the file are 11 previous MOT Certificates and a selection of invoices from recognised specialists such as Autofarm, Specialist Cars of Malton and GTR Motorsport.The 17" 'Cup' wheels are in super condition after their refurbishment, and the car has an immobiliser fitted. For extra stopping power uprated 911 Turbo brakes were fitted some years ago. Supplied with the original leather wallet containing the driver's handbook, the service record, a UK V5c, and a folder of history, this special 964RS, which is now showing 70,960 miles, is a superb example of the classic 'Renn Sport' models.

A decade after the Jaguar E-Type Series l arrived, the design progressively matured through 1971 with the introduction of the Series III. Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series III cars were available as a ‘Roadster' (convertible) or a '2+2' Coupé. The Series lll is easily identifiable by having a large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a larger bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling.The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller, dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-Type in Series III form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited. Approximately 7,990 Series lll Roadsters were sold worldwide before production ceased in 1975.The car presented here is a right-hand drive 5.3 V12, manual Roadster which was first registered on the 1st October 1973. It was delivered new through the Byatts of Fenton group to its first owner, Mr Frank Caulkin of Caulkins Transport, based in Market Drayton. He owned it until December 2002 when he sold it to his associate Mr David Riley. Mr Riley was an avid Jaguar Enthusiast Club member but used the car infrequently, and when he passed away in 2016, his beloved Jaguar became the property of his Godson, our proud vendor today. The car survives as a matching-numbers example being configured from the factory in the most sought-after Series lll specification.With just three owners since 1973, two being in the same ‘family', and living in Market Drayton for the last 43 years, this fabulous E-Type has, never before, been for sale on the open market. Showing an indicated mileage of approximately 67,000, which from paperwork in the history file including 15 MoT Certificates, may well be correct. From these certificates, the car would appear to have travelled just 5,737 miles in the last 24 years! Pleasingly, it retains many original features, including a very rare hardtop, and still wears its original registration plates.In the history file there are receipts for approximately £1,500 from 2002 and 2003 to show that the car was worked on by the well-regarded Jaguar specialist John Seddon of ‘Ivydene' in Betley, Crewe. Further receipts totalling approximately £2,500 from 2003 and 2004 show additional maintenance was carried out by a firm in Stoke-on-Trent. There is also an album of photographs documenting a thorough bodywork restoration carried out prior to these dates. Additional photographs from 2003 show the car was in very presentable and attractive condition at this point, when it's thought that it was dry-stored, and used infrequently, but kept MoT'd each year. The car today, presents honestly but is in need of some recommissioning and care. It is offered at a sensible guide price to allow for these improvements which, when completed, along with its lovely family history, will make this a truly exceptional example of this legendary marque.

1989 Ferrari 348TS

Lot # 337 (Sale Order: 37 of 77)

Make: FerrariModel: 348 TSYear: 1989Registration: G659 OKYChassis Number: ZFFFA36A9K0082453Engine - Displacement: 3405Cylinders: 8-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 70000 - 80000Guide Price: 70000 - 80000(+13.2% premium inc.VAT@20%)

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 program. 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 (transversale berlinetta and transversale spyder) the 348 reverted to Ferrari's traditional 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 was one of the first off the production line. First registered in the summer of 1990 in Florida, USA, it was purchased by a 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 owner at that time 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 3,985 miles from new or approximately 142 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 yellow zinc plating. As one would hope, the car is accompanied by the original tool kit in its bespoke leather 'handbag', and all the user manuals and service books, etc are in a matching wallet.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 whilst still brand new. The German TüV and title are also present, 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 15/04/2018. 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 immaculate condition, is an important opportunity. We welcome any inspection of this sparkling Ferrari.

1979 Aston Martin V8 Volante

Lot # 338 (Sale Order: 38 of 77)

The first Aston Martin V8 Volante rolled off the production line at Newport Pagnell in 1978 to worldwide acclaim and went on to be Aston's saviour. Like its older siblings, the DB5 and DB6 but more so, the V8 Volante kept the order books full by making inroads into the North American market. As the convertible version of the new luxury Oscar India V8, the car had, as one long established motoring magazine put it 'the brutish good looks of an aristocratic rugby player and the interior refinement of a gentleman's club”. They went on to say 'if the contemporary Ferrari of the day was likened to a 'polished playboy in snakeskin loafers” the Aston V8 Volante was the 'solid chap in burnished brogues, equally at ease in town or country” '.This 1979 V8 Volante has the distinction of being an early right-hand drive car in rare Tourmaline Blue with Fawn leather piped in blue. When the previous owner, Mr. Webb, purchased the car from Aston specialists, Runnymede in 2010 he commenced a period of restoration and enhancement to his own exacting standards and work was carried out to the boot floor, sills and floor pan. The notoriously fickle servo assisted brakes were rebuilt and now stop the car without a heart-lurching pause and the suspension, which can take a bit of a hammering in such a heavy car, was stripped, re-bushed and reassembled to factory settings. At this time Mr. Webb decided to enhance his driving pleasure by commissioning the respected Aston Workshop of Durham to fit a six-speed gearbox from a DB7, effortlessly mating the 5.3-litre V8 to the new transmission. The original automatic gearbox and all its ancillaries were retained separately. To suit the conversion, the speedometer was replaced with a later Aston model with a digital odometer and the new instrument blends in easily amongst the burr walnut surround. The originally indicated mileage of 43,966 is believed to have been correct and marries nicely with a number of bills and old MOTs on file. Since this work was carried out, Mr. Webb added a mere 2,900 miles. The history file lists nearly £50,000 worth of service and maintenance bills by Aston main dealers and marque specialists and there are over 180 photographs in the history file, detailing the work at various stages.In November 2015, Mr. Webb entrusted the car to Silverstone Auctions, and such was the quality and rarity of this special motorcar, it captured the attention of an Aston collector, who became the car's new owner after a tense bidding war. Also known to be fastidious, the Aston's new custodian undertook a further program of enhancement that included a respray in the correct Tourmaline Blue and detailed improvements to the leather interior and the wood veneers. Some mechanical work was required and this was carried out by respected Aston specialists Oselli of Buckinghamshire. The car is now offered with a BMIHT Certificate, original handbook, brochure, extensive bills and invoices dating back to the 1980s, and will be freshly serviced and MOTd by Oselli prior to the auction. It also comes with its original automatic transmission supplied separately should a future owner wish to reinstate it, and the odometer shows a shade over 3,200 miles which equates to 47,166 miles in total. This elegant Volante now looks absolutely superb with gleaming paintwork and a smart dark blue hood, which works perfectly at the touch of a button, and the 5.3-litre V8 barks into life effortlessly before settling to a contented burble. To conclude, it is always a pleasure for Silverstone Auctions to welcome old friends back to the fold and this superb motor car is ready for the next stage of its life. It is must be noted that V8 Volantes are enjoying a resurgence in popularity helped by recent results for 'X-Pack' and 'Prince of Wales' cars and the fact that Summer is just around the corner.

Enzo Ferrari's son, Alfredino "Dino" Ferrari, had a promising career as an engineer and businessman and was poised to take over his father's motoring empire, continuing the Ferrari legacy through the next generation. Dino gained experience working alongside some of the greatest engineers in history, such as Vittorio Jano. He is credited with the concept of the big-bore 4-cylinder 750 Monza and convincing his father of the merits of a compact V6. Sadly, he became ill and passed away at the age of twenty-four but his legacy lives on in the form of the Dino 246GT and the unbroken line of mid-engined V8 cars that continue today. Dino's 2.4-litre twin-overhead cam V6 was a jewel of an engine and was fitted to the first mid-engine regular production Ferrari, subsequently going on to become the lifeblood of the brand for the next 45 years.The successor to the Dino, the exciting 308, gained two cylinders and earned a Ferrari badge. The 308 GTB/GTS is still the company's most successful model to date, selling more than 12,000 examples over a 10-year production span. As the volume leader for so many years, the 308 was often toward the bottom of the collectibility scale and many suffered from poor maintenance. Properly maintained 308s are now highly sought-after and the model is enjoying a well-deserved and dramatic rise in popularity.First registered in the UK on 31/07/2015, this left-hand drive, 1979 model is an early steel-bodied 308 Spider that features the desirable carburettor setup. It is classically finished in Rosso Corsa with Tan leather, a combination that is ideally suited to the Pininfarina-designed body. Our vendor purchased this car through Silverstone Auctions having been freshly imported from Denmark, and, unlike a number of similar cars, it has been used and enjoyed with the odometer now indicating 50,255 miles.Although part of a private collection our vendor frequently chooses to use this car and it has not long returned from a trouble-free return trip to Monaco. Naturally, a car of this nature needs to be regularly maintained and there are a number of accounts on file confirming this. Emblem Sportscars in Poole were entrusted with the car in January 2016 and there are detailed invoices to the value of £2,709. Autotec Classic Cars from Cheltenham attended to the car in August 2016 and including a full strip and rebuild of the rear brakes and a new set of Michelins, the bill was £3,583. These invoices are in the history file along with its V5, import documentation, and the MoT valid until 17/08/2017.Externally the car looks even better than we remember it and has obviously received its fair share of care and attention. The overall condition is very pleasing and it looks very pretty and sounds fabulous. Provided they are well-maintained and frequently used, 308s are not that expensive to run and are basically very reliable. As they say in the trade; "A busy Ferrari is a happy Ferrari".

Derived from the first MG Midget, the M-Type, and introduced for 1933, the two-seater J2 established the classic MG look which would characterise the Abingdon marque's sports cars into the 1950s. The Midget's 847cc, overhead-camshaft, Wolseley-derived engine was coupled to a four-speed gearbox and housed in a simple chassis frame featuring half-elliptic springing all round and cable-operated 8" diameter brakes. The lightweight J2 possessed exemplary handling and steering by the standards of the day and was good for 65mph. In total, 2,083 of the two-seater versions were produced between mid-1932 and early 1934 and today the J2 is one of the most sought after of pre-war MG sports cars.This lovely MG J2 was owned by our vendor 's father from 1945 until 1951 when he reluctantly had to sell it when our vendor's imminent arrival demanded a vehicle more suited to a young family. There is a charming black and white photograph of him in the car in the late 40s and the name 'Porthos' can clearly be seen on the bonnet. We assume that the car was so named as a nod to the all-conquering 'Musketeer” MG Works teams that enjoyed success using NE Magnettes and MG PAs between 1935 and 1939. I also suspect that he may have had friends in similar cars named 'Aramis' and 'Athos' and all three had a wonderful time so, when researching the subsequent owners in the seventies our vendor's father was able to acquire many original parts and commissioned a full rebuild using parts sourced from other MGs in the nineties. The MG was finished in Gloss Black with an Apple Green interior and once again 'Porthos' was proudly applied to the bonnet. Sadly, our vendor's father passed away in 2005 and the MG became the property of our vendor who has owned it ever since. In 2016, around £10k was lavished on the car by fitting a new Phoenix crank, pistons and rods enabling it to compete reliably in the 2016 'Speckled Hen MG Owners Club” event. What a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and absolutely lovely little pre-war MG with a heart-warming history from long-term family ownership.

Somewhat of a rarity in original right-hand drive form as TCs were built primarily for the US market, so it's a treat to see a home market car, although in fairness it has spent the majority of its life in Virginia. Launched in September 1945, the basis of the new car was the pre-war MG TB. It was to share a similar 1250cc pushrod-ohv engine, gearbox, and axles, and the only significant changes would be to the body which was widened by nearly 4" across the seats without changing the basic chassis, wings and running boards or fascia layout. The TC was improved in detail too, the side screens now had flaps to facilitate hand signaling, the electrical equipment was also updated with the twin 6-volt batteries removed from the underfloor position of the TB to a bulkhead box containing a large 12-volt battery. There were also changes to the suspension, hydraulic lever arm dampers were fitted and the road springs were mounted in shackles rather than the traditional sliding trunnions. Registered on the 1st January 1946, our MG TC lived much if its life in the milder climes of Sutherland, Virginia. Repatriated to the UK in October 2015, it has been enjoyed by just one keeper over here and has been awarded a non-transferable registration number, ‘WXG 188 '.Our bright and cheery MG is a real eyeful, perhaps not to all tastes, but the Cream and Lime Green colour scheme actually suits the car and really does grow on you. It appears to have been well restored and boasts a sweet little engine in good mechanical and cosmetic order. Likewise, the gearbox engages cleanly as long as you are accurate, and using a few revs and working through the gearbox, you are rewarded with a delightful burble from the exhaust in a 1940's, down a country lane, in a black and white movie, sort of way. There are some minor paint defects, but nothing major and the interior is quite special, in very good condition with nicely finished leather trim. The dashboard is excellent and period-correct as are the Jaeger instruments and Bluemells sprung wheel. The hood too is in great condition and proves a tight fit as does the brand new full-deck Tonneau Cover which clips around the rear.Looking, for all the world like a slice of Key Lime Pie, this delightful TC looks good enough to eat. In lovely condition, this is an appealing package and wants for nothing but an enthusiastic custodian and a decent British Summer!…

1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi

Lot # 344 (Sale Order: 44 of 77)

Make: FerrariModel: 308 GTSiYear: 1981Registration: TDV 65WChassis Number: ZFFHA02B000038017Engine - Displacement: 2927Cylinders: 8-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 45000 - 55000Guide Price: 45000 - 55000(+13.2% premium inc.VAT@20%)

The 308 GTB, launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, was conceived as a direct replacement for the 246 Dino. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti, the man who styled some of the most iconic Ferraris including the Daytona, the new 308 had a rakish and attractive body which fused classic elements of Ferrari styling with a thoroughly modern design. Perhaps one of the most recognisable designs ever penned for Ferrari, the 308 was an instant hit and it came to define late '70s and early '80s sports cars.For the first two years of production, the body of the 308 was produced in fibreglass, before the decision was reached to change to steel. It shared a similar tube frame chassis to the original Dino and 308 GT4, with four-wheel double wishbone independent suspension and a transversely mounted 3-litre, four-cam V8 of a 90-degree configuration, with belt driven twin overhead camshafts. The 'Targa' topped 308 GTS arrived in 1977 and was perhaps best known for its regular appearances on the television series ‘Magnum, P.I'.Although Ferrari had used fuel injection in a number of his single-seater and sports racing cars, it had been considered too complex for use with road cars, however, as time went by, the technology improved until in 1979 fuel injection was introduced on the 400GT. Perhaps the ousting of Weber artistry was inevitable not only from an engine development point of view but also to help in meeting the increased demands of the legislators in a number of export markets. Whatever the reasons, it became Ferrari policy to introduce fuel injection on all production models. For the 308 in 1980 Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection was added and coupled to a Marelli MED 803A Digiplex electronic ignition system, incorporating a coil, distributor and ignition module for each bank of cylinders. These modified engines produced 211 bhp, whilst the final drive was altered to give similar acceleration to a carburettor car, with the whole car weighing just under 1,300 kilos.Outwardly, there was little to distinguish these cars from those that have gone before. The 'i' on the back denotes the use of injection as do the twin tailpipes either side of the silencer box, but this was not infallible as twin exhausts had also been used as a high-performance option on earlier cars. The car presented here was first registered in Milan, Italy in September 1981. In the classic colour combination of Rosso Red with Crema leather, this fantastic example has covered just 42,577 miles. In September 2014 the car was imported into the UK having been acquired from a specialist dealer in Belgium. Over the past two years, our vendor has invested over £6,000 in maintaining the car in very good mechanical condition. Upon arrival in the UK, the steering and lighting systems were overhauled to ensure MOT compliance; followed by an engine overhaul, new cam-belts, injectors, oil cooler, and pipes etc. This is a great example of an increasingly desirable car which remains very affordable when compared with other Italian exotica. The 308 is generally accepted as one of Ferrari's all-time greatest road cars, and what with prices on the rise, this is a great way into Ferrari ownership. Interestingly, this particular car has been featured on BBC's Top Gear, screening on the 12th March 2017. As is often the case with classic cars, 30 years of hindsight has a habit of clarifying the picture and, as with other Marques, the earlier models have become the most desirable. In the case of the 308, the succeeding 328, 348 and 355 became more sophisticated and better equipped but also heavier and more complex and, in the end, it's the 308 that retains the essential purity of Fioravanti's original concept.

1992 Alpina (E34) B10 Bi-Turbo

Lot # 345 (Sale Order: 45 of 77)

The Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo was designed as a high-performance alternative to the BMW 5-series E34. Production began in 1989 and ended in 1994 with just 507 examples produced, all in left-hand drive. The B10 was based on the BMW 535i and the M30 3.5-litre engine received numerous upgrades. Most notably, with the addition of two adjustable Garrett T25 Turbochargers that took power to 360 bhp with 384 Ib-ft of torque. Alpina also added bigger brakes, new springs, anti-roll bars, Bilstein shocks at the front and automatic load-leveling Fictel & Sachs at the rear. The performance was staggering, even by modern standards, with 0-60 coming up in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 180 MPH.This Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo was manufactured in November 1991 at the famous Alpina Buchloe factory and first registered to a resident in Leipzig, Germany in May 1992. It then passed to another Leipzig resident before being purchased by our vendor in April 2002 from Martin Pearse, MCP Motorsport, at 49,598 kilometres. Factory options included Alpina stripes, alarm, immobiliser, CD player, climate control, cruise control, rear blind, heated sports seats and electric sunroof.The car has now covered 88,588 kilometres (55,046 miles) and has been cherished by our vendor. A significant history file documents the entire ownership and even details the previous German owners and factory build sheets from Alpina. The file shows that it has been carefully maintained my marque specialists and documents expenditure of £15,000 alone on parts and labour. Both turbochargers have been rebuilt and the engine was pressure tested and all gaskets and seals replaced.Finished in the very desirable colour combination of Granite Silver with black leather, this B10 Bi-Turbo is presented in superb condition and is the finest we have ever seen. The paintwork retains a superb shine and the interior is completely standard and in good condition. We encourage prospective bidders to contact the office for further details on this exceptionally rare and very special Alpina.

1988 Porsche 911( 930) Turbo Convertible

When introduced in 1974, Porsche's 3.0-litre 930 Turbo was the fastest production car available on its native German market. However, the later 3.3-litre version, such as the Cabriolet on offer here, was considerably quicker again, and capable of sprinting from zero to 60mph in 4.9 seconds and on to a top speed of c.160mph. The later car also featured much-improved braking. A total of 16,535 3.3-litre Turbos were manufactured, only 918 of which were Cabriolets. The beautifully presented, right-hand drive, 930 Cabriolet offered here is a genuine UK car and was first registered in early 1988, so is equipped with the more powerful 3.3-litre engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox.Finished in sparkling Black with a Black interior and Black carpets, the car appears in very good order throughout. The Fuchs alloys are original and in excellent condition and the soft top was replaced about seven years ago and, as the car has only covered a tiny mileage since then, is in equally good condition. This is a very genuine car from a private collection of Classic Porsches and has been little used over the past 14 years in the hands of its two most recent owners. The registration document shows 7 keepers in total but the car had a couple of cherished numbers in its early life which would explain some of the changes. On paper, the last registered keeper appears to have owned the car since 25/09/2004 but when our vendor purchased it in 2008 to add to his collection he never actually registered it in his name.Within the file, there is a comprehensive record of this Porsche's service history with the majority of these being carried out by main dealers. The car is MoT'd until 28/11/2017 and the earlier MoTs indicate that the mileage in February 2003 was 39,354 and that between 2008 and now the car has only covered 520 miles.As well as the Service Book and the old MoTs, the Porsche Leather Document Wallet contains a 911 Turbo Drivers Manual, an Approved Vehicle Manual, a Warranty Manual, various correspondence with the DVLA, and two keys.These are rare cars and have recently proved to be highly sought after and very desirable, and this superb example would make a great addition to any collection.

1996 Ferrari F355 Spider

Lot # 347 (Sale Order: 47 of 77)

The Ferrari F355 is now considered 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 burst onto the world stage in the Spring of 1994, with the Targa GTS and Spider being launched in 1995. With 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 channeled air flow generating enough downforce to offset any lift.The Ferrari F355 's name is derived from its 3.5-litre V8 engine and five valves per cylinder - as denoted by the ‘Cinquevalvole ' inscription on the rocker covers. This longitudinally mounted engine produces a stunning 374bhp at a spine-tingling 8250rpm. The con-rods are titanium alloy, the clutch is housed in magnesium alloy, and the Bilstein shock absorbers use electronic sensors to provide active damping. In 1994, the Ferrari F355 was a technological tour de force. Around Ferrari's 1.86 mile Fiorano test track, the F355 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.The car presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 1996 F355 Spider, fitted with the more desirable manual gearbox. It was delivered new through H.R. Owen (Ferrari) of London on the 30th September 1996. It's accompanied by an original and fully stamped-up service book showing 16 stamps from both Ferrari and marque specialists (including numerous cam-belt renewals), plus MoT data which verifies the current mileage of just 23,378 miles. Amongst numerous invoices for servicing and maintenance, there is one for a recent cam-belt service carried out on the 2nd March 2017 (at 23,267 miles) at a cost of £2,024.80.This lovely Ferrari is finished in the rarer paint colour of Giallo Modena complemented by Black hide with yellow stitching. This car has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically really well. Our diligent vendor is a member of the Ferrari Owners ' Club of Great Britain and certainly knows his cars, being a former racing driver and now a professional driving specialist, so it is no coincidence that this F355 is in the most sought-after spec and in such fine health. Small details like a full set of keys, original handbooks in their leather wallet, factory stickers still in situ, and a complete Ferrari tool-roll, help support this dutiful ownership. Just 454 right-hand drive F355 Spiders were imported into the UK by Maranello Concessionaires, and only 315 had the six-speed manual gearbox like this car. This is a simply a superb example of one of the most revered and sought-after Ferrari models of the modern era.

1958 Porsche 356A Reutter Coupé

Porsche introduced the 356A at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1955, thoroughly updating their 356 line-up of Coupes, Cabriolets, and Speedsters. Major changes were the more powerful 1600 cc engine, curved windscreen and revised suspension, however, Ruetter remained the coachbuilder of choice. Tyre technology had significantly improved better-suiting the suspension changes and higher fuel octanes allowed higher compression ratios and better outputs. Externally, the 356A was only slightly different, with wider tyres, a rubber strip below the doors and the curved screen being the only visible changes. The interior now boasted a flat-face dashboard, locking glove box and a radio. Other appointments included a headlight flasher, automatic interior lighting, and self-cancelling indicators. A steering wheel lock and dashboard clock were other options.Offered here is a very fine example of the Porsche 356A finished in Black (5701) with a Grey leather interior. Supplied initially to America, the car was imported into the UK in 2009. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms the matching numbers engine and optional equipment of USA bumpers and sealed-beam headlights, and that the interior was originally beige leatherette.The history file contains evidence of a comprehensive gearbox rebuild in 2010 conducted by Maxted-Page and Prill. This included a new crown wheel and pinion and all sundry bearings and shims. The bill was over seven thousand pounds. The file also contains various invoices from Roger Bray, the renowned Porsche restorer. Being pre-1960, this Porsche is MOT exempt and road tax exempt.Today, this significant Porsche presents as a great usable 356A with excellent driving capabilities and a superb gearbox. It has been subject to an older restoration and has now mellowed into that 'much-loved family pet' look that so suits early 356s. It retains a wealth of the early feature production cars including the unique twin exhaust outlets passing through the rear overriders.Sitting on black painted steel rims, this is an absolutely 'classic' look.

1997 Ferrari F355 GTS

This 1997 F355 is arguably the rarest and most desirable of all the F355s being a UK, right-hand drive, GTS with a manual gearbox finished in the traditional V8 Ferrari colours of Rosso over Crema with a colour matched roof panel.The odometer indicated a mere 17,540mls at the time of cataloguing and this number is supported by some past MoTs and no less than 13 stamps in the service book. Continuing the history of fastidious maintenance, the car will be undergoing a Cam Belt service just prior to the sale.As you might expect, the car presents exceptionally well with its condition, both inside and out, reflecting its low mileage, however, whilst in the care of a previous owner, the car, unfortunately, suffered a minor engine bay fire as can be seen in images enclosed in the car's history file. The owner at the time decided F355 ownership was not for him, choosing to cut his losses and sell the car back to its previous owner and claim on insurance, resulting in the car being listed as a 'Category D' insurance loss (Vehicle damaged but repairable – Insurer decided not to repair).The previous owner then enlisted Ferrari Specialists 'G.T Autos' to rectify the, mostly superficial, damage and return the 355 back to its pristine best. This included stripping the rear end to closely inspect and assess any damage and then methodically rebuilding it to factory standards with any sign of smoke and heat damage corrected. As can be seen by the £6,000 invoice and accompanying images the damage appears to be mostly visual with parts needing refinishing rather than replacing.The Ferrari is accompanied by a good history file consisting of the service book pack, past invoices, a number of parts manuals, and a correct Ferrari tool kit.This is a superbly presented 355 GTS, and despite its minor altercation with the insurance company, surely ticks all the boxes for any shrewd collector.
