1965 Porsche 911 SWB

Lot # 351 (Sale Order: 51 of 77)      

When Porsche introduced their 911 model back in 1963, the sports car market throughout the world was taken aback by its slightly unconventional looks, light weight, advanced engineering and outstanding performance and handling. The very early cars featured a short wheelbase chassis and a smooth, flat-six 'Boxer' engine of two-litres capacity, that endowed the car with comparatively good performance. This was enhanced at the end of '65 / early '66 by the introduction of the 'S' variant which benefitted from 158BHP, as well as larger brakes, 'Fuchs' alloy wheels and a close-ratio, 5-speed gearbox.This, matching numbers, 1965 Porsche 911 was imported by our vendor from the USA in 2013 and has resided in his significant private collection ever since. The Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies the car confirms the matching numbers and the correct colour of 'Polo Red' (6602) with complementary black leatherette trim.Production of this car was completed on the 1st September 1965, making it a really early example (302094) still fuelled through its Solex carbs and Pierburg fuel pump. The engine itself has just been carefully rebuilt along with the fuel system including the carburetors, and the car is now UK registered with a long MOT. Whilst not a restored car, this 911 appears to be in good condition and retains some early and rare features only found on 1965 cars. The wheels fitted are after-market items but look to be period and quite unusual. There are some invoices from the USA but no actual service history accompanying the vehicle. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an early, matching numbers, 911 to use and enjoy on UK roads this summer or, dating from 1965, could potentially be a candidate for conversion to a competition car and qualify for a number of 'Blue Riband' racing events around the world.

1967 Jaguar E type Series 1.5

Lot # 352 (Sale Order: 52 of 77)      

According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this 4.2-litre, Series 1.5 was built on 26/01/1967 and dispatched to Jaguar Cars, New York on 22/02/1967. Its first, presumably delighted, owner was one 'J Headcore E Woodley' and the Jaguar had four owners in total, including the importer, before being purchased by its present owner in January 2002. The car was originally left-hand drive and finished in Pale Primrose Yellow with a black interior but all this was to change. By the time it returned to the UK to be registered in April 1989, it was resplendent in Carmen Red with a Tan interior. The car was converted to right-hand drive around 20 years ago. The conversion was well executed and included the diff being rebuilt to the correct UK spec.In the early years of her ownership, our vendor concentrated on progressive improvements and replacements to the brakes, cooling system, and clutch despite little use. Restoration commenced in 2009 when the car was taken off the road. There is an extensive and detailed list of all the work that was carried out on the car and it has been summarised here;Extensive bodywork repairs including new panels. Complete set of floor panels fitted, sills, wheel arches, and bulkhead panels both sides plus a new door skin.Body stripped to bare metal and professionally resprayed in Carmen Red again. A Complete set of body seals and rubbers fitted.Reconditioned radiator, a Kenlowe fan, new header tank and all new hoses.Complete rewire with a full new harness, all brake cylinders replaced or re-sleeved and servo overhauled.All interior trim replaced or restored. Original seats refurbished, new hood and hood envelope. Dashboard trim replaced with many new dash fittings.Under bonnet - carburettors and distributor professionally rebuilt with electronic ignition installed, all by specialist firms.New cam covers, exhaust manifolds, and full stainless steel exhaust system fitted.Thorough, expert rust proofing including sub frame, under-floor cavities and doors.Finally, a brand new set of 5x Dunlop SP tyres and new chrome wire wheels has been fitted with negligible mileage since.The car comes with its manuals and parts lists together with all the refurbishment invoices and a detailed list bearing witness to considerable expenditure over the last fifteen years.This is a lovely, lovely E-Type in classic Red and Tan with Chrome Wire Wheels. Fresh from a long-term meticulous restoration, and having covered only a few miles since, this car could make the Summer of 2017 one to remember. .

1960 Bentley S2 - The Property of Sir Ray Davies of The Kinks

Lot # 353 (Sale Order: 53 of 77)      

First registered on the 2nd March 1960 this Bentley S2 was purchased in 1970 by Sir Ray Davies of The Kinks. In the words of the 'Well Respected Man” himself:"After success the success of 'Lola' I was persuaded by my family to invest in a big car, which was unusual for me because I did not drive.However, I succumbed to the pressure and purchased a second-hand Bentley from Hadleigh Green Garage in Barnet, I was told that the car had belonged to George Greenfield, Enid Blyton 's agent. My (then) wife drove it on my behalf because as I previously mentioned I was unable to drive.We lived in a little semi in Muswell Hill and the neighbours were in shock and awe when they saw this huge black Bentley drive up along the narrow shingle path to the house. We subsequently went on a family holiday in the Bentley to Cornwall. While on our holiday in Mullion I sat in the back seat of the Bentley and wrote a follow up to Lola called 'Apeman' on the Spanish guitar which I carried in the back.The Kinks used it in a photo shoot for the 'Preservation' album and it still exists in some old black and white footage of us posing as gangsters outside KONK studios.When I moved to Surrey in the 1970s the car came down with me, I still could not drive and I was forty-four before I tried for my licence. It was occasionally taken out for special events like weddings and family outings. The Kinks took it on the road in England but the fans started writing on the car with lipstick and our (then) manager Ken Jones promptly retired my car to the garage."Offered to auction from long-term storage since 1991 the car requires restoration and a recent condition report from P & A Wood is included in the history file. It is rare to offer a car direct from 'rock royalty' and this Bentley offers an incredible opportunity.

1973 BMW 3.0 CSL

Lot # 354 (Sale Order: 54 of 77)      

The European Touring Car Championship of the early 1970s encouraged a number of performance-orientated manufacturers to build some rare and exciting homologation specials, notably Ford with their Escort and Capri derivatives and BMW with their CSL.Standing for 'Coupé Sport Leicht', it was indeed light - with an aluminium bonnet, boot and doors, reduced trim and lighter sports seats, all of which created a weight saving of over 300lbs (136 kgs), even on the road car! The race versions created even more highly evocative images (think Hans Stuck flying at the 'Flugplatz' ) with an excess of dramatic spoilers on the front, rear and even on the roof! Only 250 were built and they were hugely successful in period, gaining cult status amongst racing fans all over the world.This BMW CSL has been with its current owner since 1990 when he purchased it from his brother and exported the car to Germany. It is believed that the vehicle was purchased by the vendor's brother in the late 1970s and so this CSL has been under the care of one family for the clear majority of its life. A substantial history file documents a continuous maintenance programme, with invoices that date back to 1978. There are even a few previous UK MoT certificates from 1978, 1979 and 1980. In 1991, the car went back to the BMW dealer in Aachen for a brand-new replacement engine and this is documented with a warranty card in the history file. Importantly, the engine is listed as having been re-stamped to match the chassis number.Finished in the classic colour combination of Fjord Metallic Blue with a black interior, this CSL was the subject of an older restoration and is eminently usable as it is, but would make an excellent basis for a serious quality restoration. We understand that the car runs well and is fully road-legal in Germany with all the necessary TUV documents. Recently imported from Europe, the car is currently on a NOVA reference and will require UK registration if purchased by a UK buyer.We encourage pre-sale inspections on this stylish BMW with so much potential and would urge prospective buyers to contact the office for more information. Silverstone Auctions rarely have the privilege of selling these iconic CSLs and they are now firmly established as one of the must-have cars in any serious collection.

1997 Ferrari F355 Spider

Lot # 355 (Sale Order: 55 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. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Black over tan, this left-hand drive F355 F1 Spider looks particularly elegant and is a welcome departure from the usual red. Having covered just 22,000 miles in its 18-year life, the car has a beautifully presented history file, as well as the original service book and book pack. An annual service has just been completed by marque specialists Terry Keys Motorsport at Silverstone and it is MoT'd until March 2017. The car is also fully UK registered and is ready to be enjoyed.The 'Nero' paintwork is described in a condition report from Terry Keys as in "outstanding condition. The paint has a wonderful depth and shine to it and the panels are free from dents or unsightly scratches. All of the panel gaps are perfect and the car is as clean in the panel shuts as it is on the exterior."The interior is exquisitely trimmed in tan leather with a matching tan tonneau cover. The leather work is in beautiful condition throughout with no noteworthy marks or defects. the black carpets are in equally good order. All electronic features function as Ferrari intended and on the road, the car feels remarkably tight with no irritating squeaks or rattles etc.The engine fires up with ease and idles beautifully, sounding very smooth through the standard exhaust system, oil pressure is described as perfect and coolant temp remains consistent with the fans activating when required. The car pulls strongly from idle all the way to the upper rev ranges. The cam belts were changed in December 2015 and the car had its annual service in Feb '17, so will not need to visit the workshop until Feb 2018 for its next minor service. The 355 Spider offers the full convertible experience whilst retaining the classic good looks of the Berlinetta. This car presents itself as superbly understated, and as a 'Black Ferrari' attracts more admiring glances than most of its brethren can command. Offered at a realistic estimate, this stunning Ferrari would make the ideal companion for continental touring this summer.

1964 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 3.8 FHC

Lot # 356 (Sale Order: 56 of 77)      

Introduced in May 1961, the Jaguar E-type 3.8 Fixed Head Coupé was a sensation with fabulous looks and amazing performance unrivalled at the price. Often heralded as the most beautiful car of all time, Jaguar, not surprisingly, made no significant changes until the introduction of the 4.2 engine in October 1964.According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this, left-hand drive, Series 1 3.8 Fixed-head Coupé, was distributed to Jaguar Cars, New York in early 1964. Originally supplied in Opalescent Gold Sand with a black interior this ‘matching numbers ', manual gearbox car was returned to the UK in 2014 and has since enjoyed an 18-month ‘body off ' restoration. The car was taken back to bare metal and some new panels were fitted before being superbly finished in gleaming Carmen Red. The interior was also totally refurbished in Black leather which, according to the vendor is '95% new and 5% original”, and a new Beige headlining was carefully fitted. Other work included a new stainless steel exhaust, an uprated radiator, mainly new wiring looms, an alternator conversion, and the rear hubs were overhauled. Lots of the other minor jobs, inherent in any major restoration, were carried out along with hours of detailing and the car was finished last year. The new door seals need bedding in, a task best accomplished by using the car on a regular basis. The overall presentation of this Carmen Red car is delightful with a lovely interior and a superb engine bay. The Series 1, 3.8 Fixed Head Coupé is seen by many as the most attractive of all, with its svelte silhouette, graceful curves and purity of line, and freshly MoT'd, this most desirable of E-Types is now ready to be enjoyed.

2010 Ford Focus RS

Lot # 357 (Sale Order: 57 of 77)      

The second generation Focus RS is the Focus that Ford originally claimed it would never build – a limited run 300bhp super-hatch. But we 're delighted they did and make no apology for being enthusiastic about this remarkable little car with its huge twin-blade spoiler at the back, aggressive body kit, and ballistic performance (0-60 in 4.7secs /163mph) from the turbocharged 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder engine.The most controversial aspect of the car was its drivetrain, which remained front, not four-wheel drive. Ford's engineers developed and patented a system called the "RevoKnuckle" which was designed to eliminate torque steer by keeping the kingpin offset angle consistent even under heavy load, and with 301bhp and a massive 324lbs ft available, that was most of the time. The chassis was stiffened by about 30% and bigger drive shafts, a wider track, lower ride height, and a faster steering rack translated into remarkably civilised road manners.In the raw, the RS looks a bit of a 'beastie'. With its gaping grille, 19inch wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo, the RS leaves you in no doubt about its intentions. However, it's still a Ford Focus and is good to drive, easy to park, plenty of boot space, and quiet at constant speed.Built in 2010 and delivered to its one owner, this Focus RS is finished in Frozen White with a Dark Grey interior which is lifted by the blue and silver panels on the Recaro RS sports seats. It was specified with the 'Luxury pack 1' (dual-zone climate control, automatic headlights and wipers, rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, keyless go, DAB radio, and a Sony CD player). The car has covered 11,000 miles from new and has been serviced by Evans Halshaw Ford at 3K, 5K, and 10K miles, the most recent in June 2016.This is a comparatively new vehicle for a classic car auction house but the demand for sporting Fords, no matter what vintage, seems to continue unabated.

1973 Jaguar E-type Series III Roadster

Lot # 358 (Sale Order: 58 of 77)      

From 1961, the E-Type evolved and improved throughout its long lifecycle from the original Series 1 Coupés and Roadsters, through the Series 2 cars of the late 1960s, until finally the Series 3 arrived in late 1971, this 5.3 V12 being only available as a convertible or a '2+2'.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 III Roadsters were sold worldwide before production ceased in 1975.Offered here is a 1973, left-hand drive, Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Roadster fitted with a manual gearbox and destined for its first owner in the USA. Finished in British Racing Green, it has a black leather interior, black carpets throughout and a black vinyl roof.Prior to our vendor taking ownership and importing the car into the U.K, this lovely Jaguar was the recipient of significant refurbishment. This included fresh paint and a re-trimmed interior, as well as a full service. The exterior of the car and the brightwork present really well, as does the interior and soft top.Since arriving in the U.K, the car has been through the workshop of Aston Martin specialists, Newlands Motors in East Sussex, where a new clutch has been fitted along with a radiator and other minor service items. The car will arrive at the sale with a NOVA reference number, allowing a new purchaser to obtain an MOT and thereafter, a UK V5c. Left-hand drive, Series IIIs are one of the most affordable ways to enter E-Type ownership, and this US-spec example in Racing Green, with its chrome luggage rack and chrome wire wheels, is a perfect opportunity.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet

Lot # 359 (Sale Order: 59 of 77)      

Mercedes-Benz debuted four new models at the Frankfurt Show in 1959, the 220SE among them, and all of them shared the same basic unitary construction bodyshell and all-round independent suspension. Longer than their predecessors, the newcomers featured a wider radiator shell, wrap-around windscreen, wider rear window and vertically positioned twin headlamps. Aimed squarely at those discerning customers who enjoyed the occasional wind in the hair driving experience, but needed 4 seats and a little luxury, the stylish 220SE Cabriolet was the car of choice. This, right-hand drive, factory built 220 SE Cabriolet is fitted with the rare and desirable automatic gearbox and power steering combination. This particular example resided in a significant private collection, owned by a Hong Kong-based businessman, for a quarter of a century, which may explain why it has the benefit of an additional Kenlowe cooling fan making it suitable for use in a multitude of climates. The car is accompanied by a number of earlier MoT Certificates which may help clarify the (unwarranted) mileage of 80,000. We believe the car was subject to a restoration and rebuild in 1986 and there is an engineer's report by respected Mercedes engineer Nigel Cooper, detailing this. There are also various maintenance records available mainly between 1992 and 2008. These, mid-sixties cabriolets are smooth, stylish, and absolutely timeless and are sure to steal the show wherever you go. The sleek two-door pillarless body style, incorporating a fully convertible hood configuration, offers the rare attribute of being able to seat five in comfort, setting it apart from other contemporary offerings. Now that 280 SE Cabriolets, restored to a similar standard, are reaching £250,000 plus values, it may be time to consider this rare and elegant model before it stretches its legs further in the classic car market.

1972 Aston Martin DBS V8

Lot # 360 (Sale Order: 60 of 77)      

Aston Martin had always anticipated that the 1967 DBS would be powered by its new V8 engine, first seen in 5.0-litre form in the Lola-Aston Martin sports-racing cars. Production problems, however, intervened and the DBS was obliged to use the 4.0-litre, twin overhead camshaft, straight six of the concurrently produced DB6. It was not until September 1967 that the DBS 'V8' was finally announced with production commencing in the following April. The new car's handling was excellent with independent suspension, coil spring/wishbones at the front and a de Dion tube at the rear with Watts linkage and twin radius arms. All this combined to create a perfect platform for Tadek Marek's all-alloy V8 which boasted four overhead camshafts and Bosch electronic fuel injection. The 5,340cc V8 produced an impressive 320bhp at 5,000rpm, and the resultant performance and 160mph top speed were nothing short of staggering in 1970.This particular Aston Martin DBS V8, one of only 405 manufactured, is an original UK right-hand drive car, bearing chassis number #10402/RCA. It was built on the 16th of March 1972 and was despatched to Lazenby Garages Ltd. in Staines. The original specification included Oxford Blue paintwork, a Beige leather interior, fuel injection and automatic transmission. It appears to have spent most of its life in North London as the previous owner to our vendor purchased it from a Tottenham resident.The car has been subject to an earlier restoration, which included new front wings, suspension, and chassis work. The aluminium bodywork appears sound overall, but there is evidence of some blistering in a few areas of the deep Oxford blue paintwork, however, the interior is good and commensurate with the car's age.Having just been recommissioned by the current owner, it is a perfectly usable example with potential for further restoration, although this would not have to be done immediately and this big Aston could be an enjoyable 'daily driver'. The car has good oil pressure and the oil and water temperatures hold firm when the car is run up.It is believed that the car has been stored for a large part of the last 23 years as it has only covered 226 miles between its MOT in 1994 and its MOT in 2017.Some of the recent maintenance includes:* Drain and flush fuel tank and fuel lines* Flush and clean Bosch fuel pump and refit* New Battery and on/off isolator fitted* New spark plugs, air and oil filters, new engine oil - timing also reset* New hi-torque starter motor fitted - supplied by Aston Engineering* Front and rear brake calipers cleaned, refitted, and braking system bled* Replace two headlamps* Stainless steel door sill covers removed, sills inspected, cleaned, protective coating applied as required and new sill covers fitted* Clean, repair and reapply rust application to underside sills/jacking points and stone guards and reapply with light underseal.This car benefits from some history but a large part of the history file was regretfully lost in a house move some years ago. Available history includes MOTs 1981, 1982, 1983, 1994, 2017, receipts for work carried out by DJR Services (Aston Martin Specialists) Dec 1993, Jan 1994, March 1994, December 1994, Camelot Workshop 2017, British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, and a Bill of Sale from March 1994.The car has been brought back to life under the stewardship of our vendor, and now presents a superb opportunity for an enthusiast to enjoy and enhance it further. Supplied with a UK V5c and MOT tested until 31st March 2018, this car represents an opportunity to own one of only 405 DBS V8s produced and is the perfect candidate to take to the next level.

The aluminium bodywork appears sound overall, but there is evidence of some blistering in a few areas of the deep Oxford blue paintwork, however, the interior is good and commensurate with the car's age.Having just been recommissioned by the current owner, it is a perfectly usable example with potential for further restoration, although this would not have to be done immediately and this big Aston could be an enjoyable 'daily driver'. The car has good oil pressure and the oil and water temperatures hold firm when the car is run up.It is believed that the car has been stored for a large part of the last 23 years as it has only covered 226 miles between its MOT in 1994 and its MOT in 2017.Some of the recent maintenance includes:* Drain and flush fuel tank and fuel lines* Flush and clean Bosch fuel pump and refit* New Battery and on/off isolator fitted* New spark plugs, air and oil filters, new engine oil - timing also reset* New hi-torque starter motor fitted - supplied by Aston Engineering* Front and rear brake calipers cleaned, refitted, and braking system bled* Replace two headlamps* Stainless steel door sill covers removed, sills inspected, cleaned, protective coating applied as required and new sill covers fitted* Clean, repair and reapply rust application to underside sills/jacking points and stone guards and reapply with light underseal.This car benefits from some history but a large part of the history file was regretfully lost in a house move some years ago. Available history includes MOTs 1981, 1982, 1983, 1994, 2017, receipts for work carried out by DJR Services (Aston Martin Specialists) Dec 1993, Jan 1994, March 1994, December 1994, Camelot Workshop 2017, British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, and a Bill of Sale from March 1994.The car has been brought back to life under the stewardship of our vendor, and now presents a superb opportunity for an enthusiast to enjoy and enhance it further. Supplied with a UK V5c and MOT tested until 31st March 2018, this car represents an opportunity to own one of only 405 DBS V8s produced and is the perfect candidate to take to the next level.

1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo2

Lot # 361 (Sale Order: 61 of 77)      

First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979, the Lancia Delta Integrale is best known for its domination of the World Rally Championship in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Constantly being developed, the first ‘Evoluzione' cars were built at the end of 1991 and carried on through 1992 and these 'Evo' models were to be the final homologation cars built for the Lancia Rally Team competing under the Martini Racing banner. Arriving in June 1993, a further development of the HF Integrale naturally became known as the Evo II and featured an updated version of the 2-litre 16-valve turbo engine producing a little more power (215bhp) and incorporated a three-way catalyst and a Lambda probe, with everything being run by a new Marelli integrated engine control system.In addition to the mechanical changes, the Evo II received a cosmetic and functional facelift that included, new 16" light alloy rims with 205/45 ZR 16 tyres, a body colour roof moulding to underline the connection between the roof and the Solar control windows, an aluminium fuel cap and air-intake grilles on the front mudguards, a red-painted cylinder head, a new leather-covered three-spoke MOMO steering wheel, and Recaro seats upholstered in beige Alcantara with diagonal stitching.This Evo II dates from 1993 and naturally is left-hand drive. It's finished in Monza Red with a beige interior and is showing an unwarranted 74,619 kilometres (46,637mls), however, the general condition of the car suggests this may be accurate. The bodywork all presents very well and the paintwork remains decent and is commensurate with the age of the car. The door shuts and panel gaps look even, the interior is very tidy, the wheels are excellent, and overall this little Evo seems well cared for. It was imported from Germany in 1996 and has been enjoyed by three owners in the UK with our vendor having owned it since 1998. We understand that since its purchase he has kept it in an environmentally controlled 'Airflow Chamber' when not being driven. In 2016, 'Walkers Integrale' carried out a major service including cam/balance belts, oil and filters, plugs, air/fuel filters, all four dampers/bump stops, drop links, fuel pump, clean injectors, and a new radiator. The bill for this was around £5,000 and a copy is in the history file. Also with the car is the stamped service book, MoTs from 1998, the sales advert, a pile of service and maintenance invoices, and the toolkit. Anyone who has ever driven an Integrale knows how special they are and K292 APF seems a very honest example with plenty of history and represents an excellent opportunity to experience the sense of invincibility engendered by these talented little Lancias.

1981 DeLorean DMC-12

Lot # 362 (Sale Order: 62 of 77)      

The DeLorean DMC-12 was a ground-breaking, innovative sports car manufactured by John DeLorean's 'DeLorean Motor Company' for the American market from 1981-83. The car featured gull-wing doors and an unusual fibreglass chassis and underbody structure, along with a brushed stainless steel body and is probably most widely known for its appearance as a time machine in the 'Back to the Future' film trilogy. It was designed by the talented Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design and built on a chassis engineered by Lotus with a 2.9-litre V6 engine sourced from Peugeot-Renault-Volvo. These unique cars are relatively rare, with only 8,583 examples leaving the Belfast factory and approximately 6,500 surviving today. The car offered here was manufactured in 1981 and presents today in an exceptionally well-preserved condition. This rarer, 5-speed manual example has had just two previous owners, being bought new buy a car collector in Washington State. He used the car sparingly, but was a true marque enthusiast, having amassed a number of in-period magazines and books relating to the DeLorean. Such was his interest, there are even some magazines from the late 1970s, showing the car as a concept. Our vendor, having searched for an example in such condition and with such provenance, imported the car into the UK in 2016, getting it UK-registered. Today, the car has recorded just 26,000 miles, which is supported by condition, invoices and a CarFax check (the US equivalent of HPI) showing a mileage of 24,885 miles before being exported to the UK, plus all-clear markers next to total loss and accident damage. The car has been dutifully maintained, with our vendor utilising marque specialist PJ Grady (Europe) in Essex to carry out a recent comprehensive service. PJ Grady were very impressed with the car, telling the owner it presented like a car with significantly fewer miles than 26,000. Prior to this, items that are known to tire with time such as window motors, door struts, the speedometer cable, and flexible fuel lines, have been replaced, with OE parts sourced through DMC North West. A new clutch master cylinder with braided hydraulic connectors has also been fitted. Since this time, the car has been used infrequently, being SORN’d and kept in temperature-controlled storage. The car has some minor and very subtle upgrades, including a Bluetooth compatible music system (the original radio and set-up are still in situ and were simply bypassed, which could easily be reinstated) and the ability to use a remote door release fob which allow you to unlock the doors from afar (hence not having to insert a key into the known fragile lock mechanism). It's accompanied by all the literature collected by its first owner, its original handbook in the DMC branded folder, the original tool-kit and numerous invoices for maintenance and servicing. It drives and performs as well as you would expect, making the most of its 130 bhp with its manual gearbox, being able to accelerate from 0-60-mph in 8.8 seconds. Although, these cars are not defined by their outright performance, but are revered for their style and iconic status in this recent period of automotive history. We are delighted to be able to offer such a fine example of the DeLorean, a car that continues to gain momentum in the collector's car market on both sides of the Atlantic. ** PLEASE NOTE ** This car has had two previous owners.

2008 Farbio GTS400

Lot # 364 (Sale Order: 64 of 77)      

In the early 2000s, a budding car designer by the name of Arash Farboud penned a beautiful design for a new sports car, christened the 'Farboud GTS', which went on to launch as a concept car at the Autosport Show in 2003. Three cars were built before the design was sold to British sportscar stalwart Chris Marsh of Marcos fame, who relocated the company to the Cotswolds and redeveloped the car under the new name of 'Farbio'.After a considerable investment, both in time and money, the new Farbio GTS 400 was launched in 2007, boasting a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine with uprated conrods and pistons mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Power output was quoted at 410 bhp resulting in a 0-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds! Bilstein dampers and beautiful 20-inch carbon fibre low-profile tyres cover large AP Racing brakes helping this pocket-rocket stop on a penny!With a price tag from new of £94,000, this sleekly designed and well-engineered car, was entering a competitive market place where one could have bought an Audi R8 or Porsche Turbo for similar budgets. Another chapter of this car's story commenced when Ginetta purchased Farbio Cars and the GTS eventually became the basis for the Ginette F400 road car.This particular Farbio GTS 400 was delivered to its first owner in 2008 finished in White, with the interior in black leather with red stitching, and an Alcantara dashboard and door cards. Having covered only 2,358 miles from new, this car is in exceptional condition both inside and out. Maintenance duties have been carried out at TVR specialists, Mole Valley Sports Cars and this rocket ship is MOT tested until 26th October 2017.Supplied with a UK V5c, this exceptionally rare car is without doubt one of the most interesting automobiles we have offered in some time and presents a unique opportunity to own something different that will surely put a smile on your face when you depress the accelerator pedal.

** Regretfully Withdrawn ** 1990 (built) Customised Mini 'Orange Crush'

Lot # 365 (Sale Order: 65 of 77)      

One of the more unusual cars in today 's sale, but strangely no less appealing…Clearly, the labour of a truly skilled craftsman, an accompanying magazine feature from the April 1999 'Mini Magazine' confirmed that, yes indeed, this car is the creation of 'bodyshop-wizard” Paul Fisher over a six-year period commencing in 1990. The feature goes on to educate us that the project began by welding in a new floor and new inner and outer sills to the 1979 Mini 1000 Saloon donor. The underside was then etch-primed, seam-sealed and stone-chipped. There were many more stages in the car's build, including chopping, lowering and sculpting the roof in excruciating detail, before 18 hours were invested applying the paintwork. Paul says 'I did it all properly, zinc priming, 'waxoyling', and seam welding”. The detail required to ‘french in ' the rear light double curvatures, flush-fit petrol cap, number plate housing and Rover grille is really something.The paint colour is VW Inca Gelb and really looks top drawer. The engine is a standard Rover Cooper 1275cc with a custom made exhaust. Suspension is courtesy of Spax dampers and Hi-To adjusters and the car sits onThe wheels are 6x12” Revolution RFX rims shod with Yokohama tyres. The interior is standard Rover Mini Cooper. Externally, this is an amazing fun creation with the reassurance of using completely conventional mechanicals. The head was skimmed and the head gasket replaced in November 2016 following a period of no use.The level of craftsmanship really is quite special and we invite you to come and see and read for yourself. We 're not the only ones who think so, as this car was awarded 'Best Car In Show” and 'Best Paint Job” at the Mini Magazine meet in 1998.

1979 Porsche 928 Series I

Lot # 366 (Sale Order: 66 of 77)      

Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 may not have achieved that particular goal, but it wasn't for a lack of performance or technological wizardry. An alloy V8 was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, and the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet, plus body-coloured plastic bumpers - pretty radical for its time. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named ‘European Car of the Year ', an award that traditionally went to worthy, but dull, family hatchbacks.Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest 'GT' cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. The 928 was produced from 1978 until 1995, and from '78 to'80 the initial displacement of the water-cooled, single overhead cam, V8 engine was 4.5 litres which produced 240bhp, resulting in a top speed of 158 mph and a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds.Styling was the same in both 1978 and 1979, with the body lacking both front and rear spoilers. The distinctive rounded rear end without a spoiler is an unmistakable distinguishing feature of the early 928 – and is now considered the purest example of the design.This 1979 Porsche 928 is a European-market example that appears to have been imported into the USA and federalized early in its life.Presented in a lovely shade of Petrol Blue, the paintwork could use a little TLC as the finish shows some fading and wear from age. Similarly, the interior is generally very good but the seats showing signs of wear and cracking most probably due to the hot American sun, and the dashboard has developed a few small cracks, a common problem with 928s.Looking at the general condition and wear-and-tear throughout the car the indicated, but unwarranted, mileage of 100,000mls could well be accurate.The previous (US) owner was a mechanic and had owned the car for a number of years, and naturally, he carried out his own servicing and installed many new parts as detailed in the cars history file.In the past two years, the car has benefited from new, fuel lines and coolant hoses in the engine bay, rear shocks, replacement rear seats, a clutch service in 2016 along with the most recent major service in October 2016 which included full cambelt and tensioner replacement along with a change of fluids.Series 1 928s are becoming harder to source and increasingly more desirable amongst collectors with manual examples being top of the shop when it comes to collectability, drivability and potential future investment.

1964 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Fixedhead Coupe

Lot # 367 (Sale Order: 67 of 77)      

Introduced in May 1961, the Jaguar E-type 3.8 Fixedhead Coupé was a sensation with fabulous looks and amazing performance unrivalled at the price. Often heralded as the most beautiful car of all time, Jaguar, not surprisingly, made no significant changes until the introduction of the 4.2 engine in October 1964.The example offered today is a 1964 right-hand drive, 3.8 Fixedhead Coupé that has been dry-stored for many years. The supporting Jaguar Heritage Certificate states that this car was dispatched from Browns Lane on the 16th June '64 to the supplying dealer, Sanderson & Holmes of Derby with the registration CCH 47B. The original colour was Opalescent Dark Green with a Beige interior but the car is currently finished in a very dark blue/black colour.The subject of an older re-paint in 1989, this E-Type has been with the current owner's family for many years and lists only four former keepers. It was taken off the road approximately 10 years ago, due to its owner's ill health, and has remained in a dry barn ever since. Buyers should note that the engine number stated on the Heritage Certificate and V5C (RA7067-9) does not match the number on the engine block (R3319-9) and the DVLA will need to be contacted by the new owner to update their records.Prior to the auction, this E-Type will be sent to respected engineer Mark Derby of RS 911 for recommissioning work. The car does run and prospective buyers should contact the office for further details or to arrange a pre-sale inspection. Offered with a most realistic estimate, this E-Type would make a fantastic candidate for restoration or could continue to be used after further re-commissioning.

1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT

Lot # 368 (Sale Order: 68 of 77)      

The Ford Mustang was launched in April 1964 with the Ford Motor Company running advertising campaigns on all three major TV channels across America at the same time, a form of promotion that had never been attempted before. On the first day that the car became available, Ford sold 22,000 examples and by the end of the year, nearly half a million of these sensational motor cars had found new homes. A range of engines, body styles and styling options ensured that the Mustang had a very broad appeal. In 1965 the 'Mustang GT' was introduced and featured five dial instruments, thicker roll bars, quick ratio steering, dual exhausts that exited through the rear valance, dual mounted fog lights in the grille, and special lower body side stripes. Another popular option was the 'Rally Pac' which added a tachometer and a clock. To this day, the GT models are the most desirable and sought after of all the Mustangs.The Fastback option became available in 1965, and the whole range was facelifted in 1967, resulting in an altogether bigger motorcar featuring additional passenger and luggage space and the choice of no less than four larger V8 engines, 289ci, 302ci, 390ci, and 428ci capacity. The four-barrel 390ci (6.4 litre) unit had debuted in the Thunderbird, and with 325bhp on tap enabled the revised Pony Car to record a standing quarter mile time of 13 seconds. A 1968, GT390 2+2 in Highland Green has gone on to be immortalised by its starring role in the Steve McQueen film 'Bullitt'.HUM 321G is a 1968, 390GT and was imported into the UK in 2004 having had one previous owner prior to our vendor. Since then it has enjoyed pride of place in a main dealer showroom, only coming out for MoTs and short dry trips to keep everything moving. The condition of this rare GT would suggest that it may have had a degree of restoration in America at some point in the past, however, there is no documentation to prove this point. Happily though, the car is accompanied by some magnificent original documents including an original Service Book with no less than 109 main dealer service stickers. These show oil and filter changes every 2,000 miles approximately, the last one being on the 10th of January 1998. There is also a 'Standard Practice' leaflet and the all important 'Vehicle Build Sheet', showing the paint code and all options fitted to this car. Internally, the car appears to be in its original state showing a nice level of patina and a period working 8-Track sound system.This is a lovely package that would be a worthy addition to any collection.

In 1965 the 'Mustang GT' was introduced and featured five dial instruments, thicker roll bars, quick ratio steering, dual exhausts that exited through the rear valance, dual mounted fog lights in the grille, and special lower body side stripes. Another popular option was the 'Rally Pac' which added a tachometer and a clock. To this day, the GT models are the most desirable and sought after of all the Mustangs.The Fastback option became available in 1965, and the whole range was facelifted in 1967, resulting in an altogether bigger motorcar featuring additional passenger and luggage space and the choice of no less than four larger V8 engines, 289ci, 302ci, 390ci, and 428ci capacity. The four-barrel 390ci (6.4 litre) unit had debuted in the Thunderbird, and with 325bhp on tap enabled the revised Pony Car to record a standing quarter mile time of 13 seconds. A 1968, GT390 2+2 in Highland Green has gone on to be immortalised by its starring role in the Steve McQueen film 'Bullitt'.HUM 321G is a 1968, 390GT and was imported into the UK in 2004 having had one previous owner prior to our vendor. Since then it has enjoyed pride of place in a main dealer showroom, only coming out for MoTs and short dry trips to keep everything moving. The condition of this rare GT would suggest that it may have had a degree of restoration in America at some point in the past, however, there is no documentation to prove this point. Happily though, the car is accompanied by some magnificent original documents including an original Service Book with no less than 109 main dealer service stickers. These show oil and filter changes every 2,000 miles approximately, the last one being on the 10th of January 1998. There is also a 'Standard Practice' leaflet and the all important 'Vehicle Build Sheet', showing the paint code and all options fitted to this car. Internally, the car appears to be in its original state showing a nice level of patina and a period working 8-Track sound system.This is a lovely package that would be a worthy addition to any collection.

1998 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution - Ex Prince Nassem

Lot # 369 (Sale Order: 69 of 77)      

Apparently, this four-wheel-drive Mitsubishi was purchased by the World Title holding British Boxer, 'Prince' Naseem Hamed simply because it was snowing!! The legendary young boxer Naseem has always been interested in cars, and he acquired this very special Pajero 'Evolution' when he was at the top of his boxing career just before his 25th birthday in February 1999, and kept it for almost 18 years until November 2016,First available in October 1997, the radical Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution was introduced in order to homologate their Paris-Dakar entry of the same year. In order for the 'Works' cars to be eligible to compete in the Production Class T2, 2,500 Pajeros had to be built to the same design and specification and offered for saleAs a 'homologation special', it differed from the basic Pajero SUV with uprated suspension, hi-tech dampers, new differentials, and a unique 276 bhp, 3.5-litre, DOHC, V6 engine which featured their very advanced MIVEC system (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and Electronic lift Control). A new dual-plenum variable intake further improved both bhp and torque. The interior was very comfortable and featured Recaro seats. The bodywork was wider with distinctive flared arches and various skid plates and, basically, it was totally over engineered for the road and ranked as one of the toughest production vehicles on the market at the time. They were only available in silver, red or white.Offered here is a stunning example of a Pajero Evolution 'Homologation Special' finished in Satellite Silver with a Dark Grey Alcantara interior. It has covered just 12,190 miles in the hands of its one owner 'Prince' Naseem Hamed. The paintwork is excellent and appears unmarked and the wheels are in superb condition. The car has been personalised in a few areas to suit Naseem such as the attractive Alcantara interior.Recently we have seen homologation specials from other manufacturers appreciate in value at incredible rates. This could just be the 'one that got away' with a true competition reputation ranking it alongside the RS500 and M3 in motorsport successes.

1989 BMW Z1

Lot # 370 (Sale Order: 70 of 77)      

Of all the BMW 'Z' cars, the 'Zukunft' tag is arguably most fittingly applied to the Z1, a car that even now, twenty-five years after it first went on sale, looks fresh and modern. The Z1 used a skeletal frame on which the body panels were mounted, making it incredibly stiff, banishing scuttle shake and endowing the car with superb handling. The body panels were made of plastic, mounted on a substructure of hot-dipped galvanised pressed steel and the seams were continuously zinc welded, adding 25 per cent to body stiffness. The side panels and doors were made from General Electric's 'Xenoy' injection-cast thermoplastic, the bonnet and boot lid were glass reinforced plastic and the whole body was painted in a special flexible lacquer.'State of the Art' thinking was evident in every aspect of the car's design. Those magnificent doors were operated by toothed belts which lowered both the window and door at the touch of a button. The Z1 used the innovative 'Z-axle' suspension set-up at the rear and also featured some clever aerodynamics, including creating a high-pressure zone ahead of the wheels to induce downforce whilst the aerofoil-shaped rear silencer helped to decrease turbulence and lift. The engine is one of BMW's finest in the form of the M20B25 unit taken from the E30 325i. The Z1 is special in every sense of the word; it's special to look at, to sit in and to drive and, importantly, as the years have passed, it has started to become more appreciated and values have started to climb. The owner of this sparkling little Z1, prior to our vendor's purchase, had inherited the car in 2004 from his father, who had purchased it new on the 5th August 1989. His father had enjoyed the car for all those years, but the time was right to commence a programme of extensive restoration that ultimately cost close to £25,000, all of which is carefully receipted in the history file and is covered in detail in a book entitled 'BMW Z1 Roadster – Celebrating the 20th Anniversary in Pictures” which he wrote himself.Starting with a replacement engine, (the original head had failed at 90,000 miles), a suitable Z1 2.5-litre engine with 33,000 miles was sourced and fitted. The story of this comprehensive restoration would fill a book (it did) and included a new 'Visco' clutch, new radiator, new belts on the electric doors, high performance 'Franz Schaffer' brake kit, 'Motorsport' suspension springs, new 3.91 'Visco' limited slip differential, new Klaus Hermann Mayer roof, Franz Schaffer glass wind deflector, new windscreen, new front light glass covers, original Z1 'Nubuck' leather seats, BTB twin exhaust system, remote locking and an original set of BMW 16 inch wheels. All of this was complemented by a panel-off respray, in the contemporary BMW colour of 'Chilli Red', by Rene Visser of Holland.For sale only because of a change in our vendor's circumstances, this Z1 has the distinction of being restored to an exacting standard, from long-term family ownership and is in superb order. It has an MoT valid until 20/02/18, and the private registration number, UL Z1 1898, is included in the sale, as is a whole host of spares and a copy of the aforementioned book written by the car's previous owner.Note; The vendor has informed us that the car occasionally 'pops out' of reverse gear and the ant-roll bar drop-links will need replacing soon.

1999 Bentley Continental R Mulliner' Widebody'

Lot # 371 (Sale Order: 71 of 77)      

The flagship Bentley Continental 'R' Mulliner was introduced in March 1999 and manufactured until 2003 by Bentley Motors in Crewe. Regarded by some as one of the last 'real' Bentleys, the 6,750cc Turbocharged engine produced 420bhp and a staggering 650 lbs/ft of torque, resulting in sixty miles an hour arriving in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of over 170mph.This, right-hand drive, Mulliner 'Widebody' example was registered on the 5th July 1999 and has covered just over 20,000 miles in the hands of its three owners. Presented in the striking combination of Silver Tempest with a St. James Red interior, this vehicle has enjoyed the warmer climates of southern Spain throughout the early period of its life, as a personal export for its first owners. Regularly serviced by specialists in Barcelona with evidence in the accompanying history file at 6,423 miles, 8,540 miles, 10,469 miles and 12,044 miles. After returning to the UK a few years later, Royce Engineering in Surrey serviced the car in August of last year when the odometer was indicating 16,755 miles. Our vendor confirms that he has recent invoices of over £10,000, including a full ‘C Check ' service and inspection, at which point the brake pads and parking brake were also replaced. The car's original handbooks are also present as well as two sets of keys and its original period car phone. With a current MOT until August 2017, this desirable and topical model is rightfully stretching its legs in the classic car market, so don 't miss out before these desirable sporting Bentleys arrive in six-figure territory.

2006 Aston Martin DB9

Lot # 372 (Sale Order: 72 of 77)      

Launched at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the exceptional Aston Martin DB9 promised to be one of the most sought after 'Supercars' of the decade. Henrik Fisker's flowing design retained all the good looks of its predecessor, the highly acclaimed DB7. Weight was kept low by the use of aluminium and composites for the bodywork, whilst power from the 5.9-litre V12 was a healthy 450bhp, providing the Aston with acceleration to 100mph from standstill in only 10 seconds, and on to a near 190mph maximum speed. Weight distribution was a perfect 50:50 thanks to the front / mid-engine layout with a rear-mounted sequential transmission. Most DB9s were delivered with a six-speed ZF automatic gearbox featuring paddle-operated semi-automatic mode, perfect for pootling around town or continental touring. This delightful DB9 was ordered new by a Mr. Dwyer from Reg Vardy Aston Martin, Tyne-and-Wear with delivery on 17th August 2006 and registered as V12 MWD. This registration number has always been worn by the car and is included in the sale. It's superbly presented in Tungsten Silver with an Iron Ore Red leather interior, a rare combination that works well. The extensive option list was well-ticked including 'piano black' fascia trim, Linn 260W audio system, heated front screen, volumetric and tilt alarm system, and a lifetime subscription to the Tracker system, which transfers to subsequent owners. The DB9 also sports standard equipment that includes heated seats, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, and front and rear parking sensors.Having travelled less than 6,000 miles, the car was then registered to Mrs. Dwyer on the 12th December 2012 before being purchased by our vendor on the 25th March 2014 to be parked alongside his Ferrari, Porsche, Bentley and Jaguar E-Type, adding gentle miles on tours to his Italian holiday home.The car has been serviced at the following intervals:12/02/2006 Reg Vardy Aston Martin at 50 miles27/11/2006 Lancaster Aston Martin at 518 miles09/09/2009 Lancaster Aston Martin at 4,282 miles22/02/2013 Lancaster Aston Martin at 6,679 miles24/06/2015 Bamford Rose Aston Martin Specialists at 12,123 miles22/03/2017 Spellbound Cars Aston Martin Specialists at 17,600 miles with new discs, pads and four new tyres at a cost of £4,000Offered to auction with a shade over 17,500 miles (warranted by eight previous MOTs), a stamped service history, its original private registration number, book packs, a sheaf of invoices, bill of sale, two sets of keys, and an MOT until August 2017.Looking timelessly elegantly in this sophisticated colour combination, and demonstrably well cared for, this is a superb example of one of Aston's most accomplished Grand Tourers.

1960 Morgan 4/4

Lot # 373 (Sale Order: 73 of 77)      

Of all the classic British post-war roadsters produced, no other car is quite as distinctive and easily recognised as a Morgan and particularly the 4/4 with its, nearly, eighty years of presence on our roads. The 4/4 name indicated that this model had 4 wheels and 4 cylinders and the general appearance of the car hasn't altered much in all those years. With a simple and strong drive train, agile handling and a truly visceral, sporting ride quality, driving a well-sorted Morgan is regularly grin (and occasionally grimace) inducing. Its timeless styling never fails to turn heads and generate appreciation, strange when you think they have been around forever, and they are perennial favourites at shows and touring events.This particular 4/4 has been lovingly restored by one of its previous owners. Finished in Red with a Cream leather interior and traditional wooden dashboard, the car was stripped down to the bare chassis and rebuilt from the ash frame upwards. The interior is particularly impressive with quilted leather trim, brown carpets edged in cream, a bespoke polished dashboard and a Moto-Lita woodrim wheel. The ohv Ford engine was cleaned, tuned and the ancillaries replaced and, at the same time, a new wiring loom was fitted and the braking system renewed. Finally, a new stainless steel exhaust was fabricated giving the car a superb 'raspy' exhaust noteThis beautiful little car has obviously been restored to suit someone's personal tastes and represents a wonderful opportunity to own one of Malvern's finest. Supplied with a UK V5c, this is surely one of the best value classics money can buy!

2005 Aston Martin DB9 Coupé

Lot # 374 (Sale Order: 74 of 77)      

Launched in 2003 as successor to the DB7, the DB9 was the first model to be built at Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, Warwickshire where production continues today. Like its predecessor, the DB9 was styled by Ian Callum, the finishing touches being applied by Henrik Fisker. The aluminium chassis is known as the 'VH' platform, a reference to its vertical and horizontal adaptability. The DB9 is powered by a development of the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in the DB7 Vantage, which produced 470bhp initially, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 305km/h (189mph) with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.6 seconds.First registered on the 14th January 2005 and finished in the beautiful and rare colour combination of Ghillies Green Metallic with contrasting Sandstrom Connolly leather interior and six-speed paddleshift semi-automatic transmission. The car's features include powerfold mirrors, rear parking sensors, satellite navigation, air conditioning, Linn stereo system, electrically adjustable and heated seats, fully adjustable steering column, heated rear and front screens and fetching multi-spoke alloy wheels. The car is presented to auction with two keys, Aston Martin battery conditioner, tyre inflation kit and a history file that includes receipts, MOTs and original service book.Showing a shade over 45,000 miles and an MOT until March 2018, the car has been serviced at the following intervals:Stratstone Aston Martin, Cardiff 1,028 miles 10/05/2005PJ Evans Aston Martin, Bristol 2,471 miles 30/12/20005Stratstone Aston Martin, Derby 6,899 miles 22/11/2006Stratstone Aston Martin, Derby 13,912 miles 11/01/2008Broughtons Aston Martin, Cheltenham 17,313 miles 27/02/2009HWM Aston Martin, Walton on Thames 22,054 miles 28/10/2010Nicholas Mee Co.

1999 Bentley Arnage Green Label

Lot # 375 (Sale Order: 75 of 77)      

The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, replacing the Bentley 'Turbo' which had offered sterling service for many years. Built by Bentley Motors in Crewe, from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998, and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models had been introduced. The new Arnage was designed to be powered by a new state-of-the-art BMW V8 engine with Cosworth-engineered twin-turbochargers and was designated the Arnage 'Green Label'. The Arnage 'Red Label' was launched in October 1999, and for a number of reasons, reverted back to Bentley power using the traditional V8 engine with a displacement of 6,750cc.With a modest 47,000 on its odometer, this lovely Arnage gives an impression of unmolested integrity with classic style and unmatched presence. The whisper smooth BMW V8 is almost inaudible at idle and with the merest whiff of throttle will accelerate strongly and silently, the five-speed gearbox making light of the car's 350bhp, and whistling this substantial saloon up to nearly 150mph. We are told by the vendor that this particular car drives superbly and has been enjoyed on a couple of recent continental trips. Even when being driven in a spirited fashion, this car maintains its composure, the handling is firm and predictable, whilst the brakes are reported to operate with superb urgency. Cast your eyes down the sides of this beautiful luxury saloon and you're presented with straight, well fitting panels with excellent shut lines and the doors close with that reassuring 'thunk' always associated with big Bentleys. The distinctive front grille presents well and is matched by the gleaming bright work and lovely paint finish. The interior appears in first class condition throughout, with excellent veneers, acres of beautiful magnolia leather showing little sign of wear, good carpets, and rear seats that look as if they have barely been used. We understand that all the instruments spring to life at the turn of the key and all the warning lights go out immediately. We believe that this lovely Arnage has been enjoyed by five previous keepers and with the car, there is a list of services and MoTs, the latter showing mileages of 32,852 on 20/07/2006 going up by small increments to 39,192 on 25/03/2014. The current owner has a number of proper motor cars and services and maintains them himself, a task of which he is eminently capable. The vendor is a good friend of Silverstone Auctions and purchased this Bentley from us about three years ago at which point the mileage was a warranted 39,600, and when MoT'd on February 24th the odometer indicated 46,858. He informs us that during those enjoyable 7,000 miles the only issue was a failed Oil-Pressure Transducer which was quickly replaced and tested. As well as that Test Report, the car is accompanied by its service history, log books, MoT Certificate, and an owner's manual on CD.These cars represent the epitome of British luxury with enormous 'kerbside' appeal. It is difficult to imagine a vehicle that, in terms of style, performance, looks and sheer presence, offers better value for money.
