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.

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).

Rolex Explorer 2 'Steve McQueen', Orange hand, Model 1655

Lot # 109 (Sale Order: 9 of 78)

Brand: RolexEstimate - Range: 8000 - 9000

The Explorer II model, 1655, was introduced in 1971. The movement was either the 1570 or the 1575, and essentially this particular model was a GMT with a fixed stainless steel bezel. It featured a distinctive dial with an extra hour hand that was designed specifically for speleologists, or cave explorers, who Rolex claimed, "soon lose all notion of time: morning, afternoon, day, or night". The extra hour hand, or 24 hour, would tell the explorers whether the '4' on the dial was 4:00am or 4:00pm (16:00hrs). This model has also been called the Steve McQueen Rolex. Steve McQueen may have worn a TAG Heuer Monaco wristwatch in the film Le Mans, but in real life he wore a Rolex Explorer II, model 1655 which makes the Explorer II very popular amongst motoring types today. This Rolex Explorer 2 'Steve McQueen', orange hand, model 1655, is complete with box, original paperwork, original receipt and recent service papers. The case is 40mm Stainless steel with a solid case back which all are in the most fantastic original condition. An exceptionally rare opportunity, not to be missed.

Richard Burtonâ€™s 1970 Omega Constellation Automatic

Lot # 116 (Sale Order: 16 of 78)

Brand: OmegaEstimate - Range: 7000 - 9000

**Sold in aid of the Alzheimer's Society** We have the honour of offering for sale a piece of twentieth century history, an item that witnessed the glamour of 1970's Hollywood and the jet set parties of Europe. Richard Burton, the titan of his age, drank with Sinatra, danced with the Duchess of Windsor and was married to Elizabeth Taylor. Twice. The Burton-Taylor saga became the defining moment of modern celebrity when their 1963 affair scandalised the world. With even the Vatican commenting that their relationship was "erotic vagrancy". This 1970 Omega Constellation, according to the vendor, was given as a gift by Liz to Richard during a stay at their Gstaad home in the autumn of 1970. Their love story had the makings of a Hollywood movie. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were married and divorced twice, and their union was probably the most notorious and dramatic of the 20th century. The provenance is exemplary, a handwritten note (to be supplied with the watch) by Burton's nephew, dated 29th August 2010, includes the following: "I confirm that this watch belonged to Richard Burton. My mother remembers Richard wearing it." Burton was famous for buying gifts for Liz, he outbid Cartier and Aristotle Onassis for a diamond ring, paying the equivalent of £13,000,000 in today's money. He bought umpteen diamonds and pearls, and gifts of Van Goghs and Monets were all made to Liz. After Taylor's death her collection of jewellery, many bought by Burton, was famously sold for a premium inclusive £74,900,000 in December 2011. However the gift giving wasn't entirely one way, Richard Burton's diaries note a number of gifts by Liz to him, a few of which were gold watches. Omega of Zurich confirmed that the watch was bought on 12th September 1970 in Zurich, but for reasons of client confidentiality refused to say by whom. Offered today with the patina of forty-five years the watch measures 39.9mm by 32.9mm and has the Omega case numbers 166.059 168.047 with the watch and bracelet in 18ct gold. The vendor acquired the watch from a gentleman who had acquired it direct from Richard Burton's family. The vendor, a proud Welshman, has generously proposed that any proceeds over the bottom estimate shall be donated to the Alzheimer's Society, a charity close to his heart as his wife has suffered from this debilitating disease for fifteen years. Silverstone Auctions shall match this generosity by donating the buyer's premium.

1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SE - Just 5,700 kms

Mercedes-Benz launched its new S-Class in 1979 hopeful of retaining the title of the "World's Best Luxury Car" for the next decade. The W126 range succeeded admirably, achieving critical acclaim worldwide - including Australia, where it won Wheels Magazine's coveted "Car of the Year" award for 1981. The engineers at Stuttgart paid greater attention to aerodynamics (the W126 had a class leading 0.36 Cd) for better economy and pioneered a number of safety systems like ABS and SRS airbags, helping make the new S-Class the first production car able to meet stringent new regulations for surviving an offset frontal collision. The S-Class was commercially successful, and a total of 890,000 were sold worldwide in 13 years of production. The W126 range consisted of the 280SE/SEL six-cylinder models and two V8 variants, the 380SE/SEL and 500SE/SEL. In 280 guise, the W126 was powered by the proven M110 six-cylinder engine with twin overhead camshafts and Bosch fuel injection, a motor capable of delivering ample performance without sacrificing fuel economy. Inside, the W126 range was typically well thought out and equipped with every luxury available at the time, all built to the highest possible standards. Indeed, the superb build quality, combined with the relative lack of electronic gizmos, has probably contributed to the extraordinary number of W126s still in daily use around the world and they are now remarkably good value. Given its popularity, it's very rare to find a very low mileage 280 SE and we are therefore very proud to offer this truly unusual and special car that has only completed a remarkable 5,700km during its lifetime. As one might expect, this car is presented in excellent condition with the ‘new car smell' being one of your first impressions upon sitting in the driver's seat. The extensive history file containing all relevant original registration and order form documents, along with every invoice from new, confirms the feeling that this really is a one off opportunity to purchase this left-hand drive, one owner, very desirable emerging classic. Mechanically very sound, easy to drive and offered here at no reserve, we dare you not to give it a go!

1975 Mercedes-Benz 280SLC - 16,500 kms

Forty three years ago, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the C107 SLC at the Paris Motor Show. The launch signalled a shift in thinking at Stuttgart about what made a luxury coupe successful. The C107's extra 360mm in the wheelbase over the R107 allowed for a rear seat bench, whereas the SL offered little more than a shelf. Developed from the R107 SL chassis, which was in turn built with parts carried over from the W114 platform, the long version of the SL emerged as highly popular and remained in production for many years. Sporting a longer wheelbase and sufficient interior room for four, the SLC was a sleek two-door coupe that combined the seating advantages of a four-door sedan with the sportiness of a coupe. Powered by Mercedes own six-cylinder engine, the 280 SLC developed 182 BHP and had a top speed of 125 mph. Supplied new in Germany in 1975, this particular Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC has only had one recorded owner from new and has covered a meagre 16,500 km's since - the car is barely run in! As a result, the gleaming white paintwork is in superb condition overall, and inside the red leather is unmarked, it's all original throughout and everything works as it should. A large history file accompanies this superb example including the original order forms, and a full service history detailed in the supporting documents, gives an insight into the level of care and attention this car has received during its lifetime. As a result, this rare manual version is an extremely well preserved and original car. Supplied with its complete bookpack, spare set of keys and a comprehensive history file, this lovely 40-year-old Coupe is offered here without reserve, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed.

1988 Daimler Double Six Series III - Just 3,300kms

Lot # 203 (Sale Order: 19 of 78)

Make: DaimlerYear: 1988Registration: EU RegisteredChassis Number: SAJ-DDRLW4CM479386Engine - Displacement: 5430ccEngine Number: 7P059897SBTransmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate - Range: 0-0

The Chairman of Jaguar at the time "Lofty" England declared that the new V12 luxury saloon was to be baptized the Daimler Double Six, and so it came to pass and a legend was born. The Series III, the final derivative of the Daimler Double Six, arrived in 1979 and like its predecessors benefited from the clean-cut, new body designed by famed Italian design house, Pininfarina. The new design featured more glass, slightly squarer lines around the roof area, and up to date front and rear styling. The Series III soldiered on until the late 1980s, outliving the XJ6, the departure of which was delayed by problems installing the engine in the new XJ40 series. This was the flagship car in the Jaguar/Daimler line and was produced until the very end of 1992. The term "XJ12" is also inaccurate as this referred only to the base-trim model and the vast majority sold were the upscale V12 Sovereign or Double Six models. It would be hard to imagine news footage of the 1980s and early 1990s without a member of the cabinet or the House of Windsor ascending elegantly out of a Double Six. No other car of that period epitomised brisk luxury travel like a Daimler, and in such a truly understated British fashion. This car was not concerned with the pomp and showmanship of a Rolls Royce, it was a Daimler and it meant business. The export market adored it. This exceptional Daimler Double Six Series 3, was built on 15th February 1988 and initially finished in a very diplomatic Dorchester Grey with a Saville Grey leather interior. It was later delivered to its one and only owner through German Jaguar Dealers, K.Luthge Motors at a cost of 82,000 DM on 14/4/1989. The car was presented for its first service with K.Luthge Motors on 16/06/88 showing just 2,390kms as noted in the cars service book. There are further maintenance references in the history file however these are not recorded in the service book. Ever the individual, the owner fitted a Nardi Steering wheel to the car in 1989 and, presumably bored with the original paintwork, commissioned a full respray in Metallic Blue at a cost, in 1996 of 16,283 DM. Three years later the car was fitted with the chrome wire wheels it sits on to this day. This Metallic Blue paintwork has remained in impeccable condition as has the rest of the car and with just 3,297kms on the clock this lovely elegant Daimler appears in a condition that reflects this mileage. Accompanied by a respectable history file along with its original Daimler/Jaguar book pack and spare keys, this Daimler Double Six is certainly the finest that we have seen and surely one of the best examples of this eighties statement still surviving to this day.

The Mercedes-Benz '126' range was a series of flagship vehicles produced between 1979 and 1991. Now regarded as the pinnacle of Mercedes build quality, 'S' Class models are now gently gaining respect and recognition in the classic car world, and none more so than the range-topping 560 SEC produced from 1985 until 1991. Regarded as the ultimate luxury coupe of the day, it was one of the most expensive cars in the world at the time and came comprehensively equipped as standard. The standard specification included heated electric seats with memory, a limited slip diff, electric steering, self-levelling suspension and ABS. Bruno Sacco headed the design team for the Mercedes W126 S-Class series and he stated that the coherent line of evolution in Mercedes models is the main reason for the long life of a Mercedes and was proud of the fact that reliability was being achieved even as levels of comfort, safety, and fuel consumption were all being improved at the same time. The SEC body shape was more efficient than the SLC and saloon models, and the length of the car between the centre cross member and rear suspension attachment points was reduced by 3 inches and the car was lowered by 1.2 inches, completing the dramatic look of the SEC Coupe. This left-hand drive, one owner car, originally supplied new to Germany, shows a modest 38,000km on the odometer and is stunningly presented along with a comprehensive history which equates nicely with the condition of the car. All the original factory order paperwork is present, along with all service invoices which certainly are consistent with the cars wonderful condition. Further detailing on the non period BBS wheels is also featured. We are excited to offer this ‘modern classic' without reserve, suggesting that this is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage, single ownership icon of the 1980s. Truly outstanding.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963, before being replaced by the more complicated 964.These final cars were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164 cc, giving a torquey 231 hp ~ enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupe to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onward received the more user-friendly G50 gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting. Ordered via Paul Greier Porsche in Germany on 15.03.84, this one owner Porsche Carrera was highly optioned from new. The car was ordered in Grand Prix White with Can-Can Red leather sports seats, however the car was actually delivered with a driver's comfort seat and passenger sports seat as requested by the owner. The car was also specified with the desirable and costly Turbo Look, Supersport option code (M491) at an additional cost of 27,950 DM. This option code included the wide body styling of the 930 Turbo, and the stiffer suspension along with larger 917-derived brakes from the Turbo model. In all the total bill of sale for the car was 113,536 DM on the 22.04.86. However what's more impressive than the specification of the Carrera, is this car's incredible low mileage of just 743kms (461mls). As can be seen in the history file it was serviced by Paul Greier Porsche on the 15.07.1987 at 382kms. The car was taken back to Paul Grier Porsche for minor maintenance work on the exhaust on the 10/08/1988 with the mileage of the car now showing just 400kms and was once again presented for service with Paul Greier on the 19/07/1990 showing just 422kms. The car continued to be lightly used, as is evidenced by an engine bay service tag signed by K.Bracker showing a recorded mileage of 582kms on 24/9/1992. Over the coming years the car seldom saw the light of day and spent its life at rest until being woken once again to be offered for sale. Recently the car has befitted from a full detailed inspection, service and recommission by well known UK marque specialists Autofarm at a cost of £4,120, ensuring the car is in fine fettle and as close as its possible to be, to its condition when it left the factory back in 1986. A true time warp car presented with a good history file depicting early service records, the original Porsche book pack, its service book (not stamped but correctly completed), along with tools and other paraphernalia relating to the vehicle. Rarely are cars of this exceptional low mileage and condition seen, let alone become available on the open market. Offered without reserve this car is true collectors item not to be missed.

‘LWR 40K' is perhaps the ultimate iteration of the Lotus Elan Sprint, being the drop head coupe finished in the iconic 'Gold Leaf Team Lotus' Formula One team racing colours of the late 60s and 70s, which together with its 126bhp 'Big Valve' Lotus Ford twin cam engine and superlative handling, has established the car as one of the finest British sports cars of all time. When purchased in 2006 by our vendor, this car had been stored for around ten years, having previously been the former keepers' daily driver for around 15 years. Once home, the car was found to be in completely original condition and had not suffered the ignominy of being customised as so many old British sports cars do before assuming 'classic status'. Upon closer examination, there was also evidence that the engine had been performance tuned, as the engine block and head were painted blue and carried an ID tag from 'Twin Cam Techniques', a well-respected Lotus specialist at the time. Upon purchase, although the car was complete and in original condition, the length of time in storage dictated that a full 'nut and bolt' restoration would be required. Documents supplied with the car confirmed that a genuine galvanised Lotus replacement chassis had been fitted in May 1983 and that this was in remarkably good condition. For prudence, it was surface cleaned and then re-finished with two coats of 'Rust Bullet', an extremely high quality rust prevention surface treatment, developed in the USA and used by the NASA space programme. The gearbox and differential were sent to Paul Matty Sportscars, the respected Lotus specialists, to be checked over. The company rebuilt both units with documentary evidence provided, the prop-shaft was cleaned and rebuilt and they also supplied and fitted new final drive 'rubber doughnuts'. All components of the front and rear suspension were dismantled, thoroughly cleaned and inspected. All bearings and bushes were replaced and new Spax adjustable dampers were fitted, with the fronts also being fitted with special springs and Spyder tubular front wishbones. Both front and rear brake callipers were dismantled, deep cleaned and rebuilt with new seals, discs and pads, as was the inboard parking brake for the rears. The engine was stripped down and found to be in very good condition, with probably only a few miles covered since the previous rebuild. The cylinder bores were honed and new rings fitted to the pistons, the crank was polished and new main and big end bearings fitted, the cylinder head was converted to run on unleaded fuel, new valves fitted and the head face surface ground. A new water pump was fitted, and the carburettors cleaned and rebuilt to a fine condition. The assembly work was carried out by JS Motorsport, well known in classic racing circles for the quality and performance of their competition Lotus Twin Cam engines. JSM then ran the engine on their dyno and obtained a read out of 134bhp. All elements of the electrical system were inspected, and as this is a crucial area on these cars, a completely new wiring loom was fitted along with the replacement of all relays, connectors and fuses. A new alternator and starter motor were also fitted and special attention paid to the insulation of the electrical system. The body preparation and paint on this car is truly impressive thanks in no small part to the work of Option One of Bromsgrove, whose work is generally recognised in Lotus circles to be of unparalleled quality. The existing paint was removed and the shell taken back to its gel coat. Pleasingly, the body was found to be in very good condition with no indication of previous accident damage. After the seven stage prep and paint process in Bromsgrove, the result is a glass-like finish in the most evocative Gold Leaf Team Lotus colours. Although there is not much chrome on an Elan Sprint, what there is provides an important finishing touch so all bright work was professionally restored and re-chromed where possible, or replaced with new items like the door handles and boot lock. Finally, to the interior where the original seat frames were sand blasted and powder coated before being sent to be re-trimmed with all new internal cushioning and finished with "new old stock" genuine Lotus seat covers. The door cards were also re-fabricated with new, correct specification black vinyl facings to match. New carpets were fitted throughout. The original 'Colin Chapman signature' steering wheel was sent away for restoration and rebuilt to a very high standard. All instruments were cleaned, checked and restored to original specification and a burr elm dashboard fitted for that finishing touch. In the event of wet weather, a brand new hood was also made and professionally fitted by the Don Trimming Company, Birmingham.

Launched in 1963 to replace the underpowered 190SL and utilising some of the new manufacturing techniques being adopted in the emerging S Class, the Paul Bracq designed 230SL was proudly unveiled to an appreciative audience at the Geneva Motor Show. Remaining in production until 1971 with around 49,000 finding customers, the W113 Class, frequently referred to as the Pagoda, eventually spanned three engine sizes. Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as most racing drivers, demonstrated the handling capabilities of the 230SL on a tight, short test track near Montreux in 1963, where he put up a best lap that out-performed the Ferrari 250GT. Offered here is a UK supplied, right hand drive, restored Mercedes 230SL finished in Arctic White with red trim. The extensive restoration was conducted by Malin Motor Bodies of Sheffield and included a full re-trim of the interior. At some stage in its life, the 230 engine was replaced with the 6 cylinder 250 engine and this was a common upgrade in period giving the SL a much needed ‘shot in the arm’ in terms of performance. Some of the most recent expenditure includes a comprehensive health check from the SL Shop, closely followed by an invoice of approximately £4000 for rectifying anything that was detrimental to the driving pleasure of this very pretty roadster. It does, of course, come complete with its factory hardtop finished in body colour. The original owners manual is with the car, as is the certificate for its recent MOT. These Pagodas have a timeless ‘chic’ and pride of ownership. In this condition and at this guide, it surely makes investment sense.

The 911 Carrera Supersport was introduced in 1984, initially in coupe form only, and filled a gap in the company's range by providing a 911 Carrera with all the styling cues of the Turbo, but the practicality and predictability of the lower powered Carrera. The new car imitated the extrovert Turbo look externally with a wide body, big spoilers, 16-inch forged alloy rims and low profile tyres, however certain mechanical features of the Turbo including modified suspension and four piston fixed calipers were also incorporated in the Supersport. The Supersport Cabriolet was introduced in 1985, and looked particularly serious with the wide body and Turbo cues, however even though it shared the same engine output and performance figures as the standard Cabriolet, it was offered at the substantially higher price of £38,500 when new, about 25 per cent more expensive than the narrow body version. In October 1986, the earlier 915 gearbox was replaced by the stronger G50 unit which remained until the final model in 1989. In total there are believed to be only 16 right hand drive Cabriolets produced, and this low mileage example, first registered in 1987, is one of them. With only 2 owners from new this fine example is a UK supplied car and has only covered an indicated 20,251miles. The car is supplied with the original owner's handbook, as well as all the old MoT's (including a current one valid until August 2016) which substantiate the mileage. Recently treated to a new Porsche hood and hood bag, this cabriolet is offered in original condition and is beautifully finished in bronze with a brown interior. Despite the fact that his new purchase was running well, our vendor is particularly fastidious and was keen to ensure the car performed as it would have done when new, so earlier this year he commissioned an engine inspection and top end rebuild with the engine and gearbox being removed from the car. The engine was stripped to assess its condition, and the bottom end was found to be sound so it was carefully re-assembled with new piston rings and up-rated head studs. The heads were rebuilt with new valves, seats, guides and springs and reunited with the block and all the relevant gaskets and seals were replaced. The side tin ware was replaced and all other tin ware repainted, the gas readings were reset and the car was put back together and road tested. Invoices from Woodward Motors Ltd, an independent Porsche specialist detailing the work are with the car. With only a reported 16 of these cars being built to this specification, this represents an opportunity to acquire the rarest of variants, an eighties wide bodied cabriolet.

1966 Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Cabriolet

Introduced at the 1965 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Mercedes-Benz W108 series initially consisted of three models, the 250S, 250SE and 300SE. Powered by a 2.5-litre straight six engine, the 250SE benefitted from a Bosch fuel injection system and a power output of 150bhp, whilst married to a 4-speed automatic transmission, giving a top speed of around 118mph. For the discerning customer who leaned towards higher style and a wind in the hair driving experience, the luxurious 250SE Cabriolet was the car of choice. Offered here is an original 1966, right-hand drive, 250SE Cabriolet supplied new to Assa Yazbeck & Sons Ltd of Freetown, Sierra Leone. This well-travelled car also spent some time in South Africa before finding its way to Northern Ireland under the ownership of a Mr John Rogers of County Down and then into the hands of a Mr Rumbles in London prior to being purchased by our vendor in 2009. Upon purchase, he decided this beautiful cabriolet deserved a full restoration, and sent the car to the well-known Mercedes-Benz specialists Colin Ferns Ltd. who spent the next two years going through it, and his professional standards and attention to detail are obvious for all to see. The car was resprayed in Mercedes-Benz Blau 940 and the interior trimmed in a light red leather by Matthew Turton at coach trimmers Strong & Turton Ltd. All brightwork was re-chromed, both inside and out, ensuring the car sparkles and the hood was replaced with a new Mercedes-Benz original part. Bills contained in the history file from Colin Ferns total more than £20,000. Our vendor planned to use the car on continental trips to Italy, and during restoration carried out a number of sensible modifications such as Xenon headlights, four inertia retractable seat belts, electronic ignition and even an iPod jack in the fully working, period Becker radio. Always stored in a Carcoon Veloce inside a garage, this car has patently been well-loved in the hands of our vendor as further receipts from local specialist lay testament. Supplied with a UK V5c, an MoT until 9th June 2016, the owner's handbook and a bespoke dustcover, this car offers the chance to acquire a beautifully restored car with all the hard work having been done. In a market where 280SE 3.5 Cabriolets are now commanding premium prices, this elegant car should not be overlooked.

1971 De Tomaso Pantera 'Pulsante' - The Hawaii 5-0 Car

There can't be many Italian supercars that have been owned by two Police Officers in Hawaii, but this one certainly has. Originally purchased by Hawaiian policeman George Frain in 1971, he kept the car for thirty five years before selling it to his friend and fellow policeman, Dennis Yogi, in 2006. One of very few remaining "first execution" Panteras, known as "Pulsante" or push-button cars, in reference to the push button door handles carried over from the De Tomaso Mangusta, the embryo of the Pantera and a model that has been known to command prices in excess of £200,000. These early Panteras were the only fully hand-built examples, assembled by Vignale Carrozzeria in Modena, with 75 being delivered into the United States to "test the water", prior to being put into series production. Importantly, this car was one of the two Panteras used in one of the most watched television series in the World at the time 'Hawaii 5-0', where the car appeared in the episode - ‘Death Wish on Tantalus Mountain' (season 5, episode 2). The first car was yellow and is now in Sweden where it has been heavily modified, therefore this car, chassis number #1365, is the only Pantera from the series that retains its original configuration. In the episode, released in 1972, Ricardo Montalbano plays Alex Pareno, a wealthy auto-racing enthusiast whose mechanic is slain on the eve of Hawaii's most important road race. The TV production company needed a racecar in Hawaii and the first owner, George Frain, was happy to oblige. Mr Frain actually drove the car in the show as a stand-in for Ricardo Montalbano who had actually been injured prior to the shoot, so Mr Frain donned Ricardo's race suit and helmet, appearing in many of the still shots as well. A pure "first execution" of the Pantera model in unmolested and original configuration is now very rare in itself, but one with a starring TV role and two previous owners must be a unique opportunity. The car comes equipped with many rare features including single slot magnesium Campagnolo wheels with the De Tomaso "T" logo on each wheel nut, a flat rear engine cover (all the later cars incorporated a raised rib in the centre) and De Tomaso, not Ford emblems. There are also a number of small details and touches that make this car truly special such as the hand made bumpers with square ends, the relief pattern ashtray cover and one piece side window chrome (carried over from the Mangusta). With only two owners from new until 2014, this is an amazing example of a very rare, handbuilt, unmodified, ‘push button' Pantera in its original Tom Tjaarda design. This car is fully restored and ready to drive, but perhaps not on a dirt rally stage...

1968 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage Volante

Lot # 211 (Sale Order: 27 of 78)

Make: Aston MartinModel: DB6Year: 1968Body Style: ConvertibleExterior Color: GreenInterior Color: TanRegistration: XHV118GChassis Number: DBVC/3698/REngine Number: 400/3650/VCEngine - Displacement: 3995CCCylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 825000 - 925000Item Location - Country: United Kingdom

Considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965 and replaced the DB5. Although Royal patronage of the marque through Prince Charles undoubtedly helped DB6 sales, the car arrived at a difficult time for Aston Martin, with the home economy in a parlous state and the US market subject to ever more restrictive legislation. Although recognisably related to its Touring styled DB4 ancestor, the DB6 abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. The wheelbase was now 4" (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a 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. "The tail lip halves the aerodynamic lift around maximum speed and brings in its train greater headroom and more luggage space", declared Motor magazine, concluding that the DB6 was one of the finest sports cars it had tested. Famed employee, Tadek Marek, designed the six cylinder engine, which 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. Premiered at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 Volante marked the first occasion the evocative 'Volante' name had been applied to a soft-top Aston Martin. After 37 Volante convertibles had been completed on the DB5 short wheelbase chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. A mere 140 DB6 based Volantes were manufactured, and of these only 29 were specified with the more powerful Vantage engine. Presented here today is an original, UK-supplied DB6 Vantage Volante. Chassis number DBVC/3698/R was first delivered on 27th July 1968 to Sundridge Park Motors Ltd. in Bromley, and the original purchaser was a Mr G.L. Hicks of Mayfield, Sussex. According to a copy of the original build sheet, it left the factory as a Volante Convertible and featured a 5-speed manual ZF transmission, Vantage engine, power assisted steering, chrome road wheels, 3 ear knock-off wheel spinners, an electric aerial, two seat belts and 7 pints of antifreeze. It was issued with the registration number XHV118G and subsequently sold to its second owner, a Mr P. Bloomfield of Ealing, London in July 1969 who owned the car for a number of years until it was exported to Japan, where it resided in a large private collection. The car was then acquired by an American collector in 2011 and was repatriated by the current registered keeper in 2013, when it was reunited with its original registration number. Once back in the UK the car was taken to Aston Martin experts Goldsmith and Young Ltd, who carried out a major service. This included recommissioning the suspension and a large number of mechanical works, the cost of which totalled £4,650. Prior to the auction, this DB6 will be delivered to Heritage Aston Martin expert Desmond J Smail, who will conduct a complete inspection and carry out any remedial works as required. A full inspection report from Desmond Smail will be available to prospective purchasers. Finished today in California Sage Green with a natural tan hide interior, this delightful DB6 presents very well indeed. The bodywork is in very good order with consistently even panel gaps and doors that shut with a reassuring thud. The brightwork is all in superb condition and the paint retains an excellent shine. The interior is in very good order with no rips, tears or fading to the leather seats or bolsters. The engine bay presents beautifully and the original chassis plate is a joy to behold. The engine numbers stamped on the block read 400/3650/VC and are easily recognisable by the faded red paint that surrounds them. The chassis number is stamped on the front suspension trailing arm and is also clearly visible. Being 1 of only 29 examples ever made, this stunning Aston Martin would make an impressive addition to any international collection and would be welcome at the most prestigious classic car events around the world. Silverstone Auctions are honoured to be selling such an important piece of Aston Martin history - immortalised when Prince William drove his new Bride to their wedding reception in his father's example, which was his 21st birthday present from Her Majesty the Queen. It would be difficult not to feel like Royalty in this wonderful Aston.

The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a direct replacement for the Dino 246. Designed by Pininfarina with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, the 308 has gone on to become one of the most recognised Ferraris of all time. Fitted with a 2.9 litre DOHC V8 engine fed by four Webber 40DCNF Carburettors, the power output of 255bhp was sufficient to propel the 308 from 0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 159 mph. In 1980, the decision was taken to replace the carburettors with fuel injection, unfortunately reducing the engine output from 255 to 214 bhp, however two years later, an extra couple of valves per cylinder were added, giving "Quattrovalvole" models around 240bhp. The 308 was manufactured in both GTB and GTS (Spyder) forms from 1977 to 1985, before being replaced by the 328. In hindsight, amongst enthusiasts of the 308, the version to have is an early steel bodied car with a dry sump and carburettors, which is exactly what we have here. Manufactured in 1979, this original UK, right hand drive car has covered a genuine 28,870 miles. It was first registered to Cooper Car Sales Ltd in Leicester on the 5th.of April 1979, and has subsequently had five keepers, two of which were dealers. Sold to Mr George Knight on the 22nd April 1981, he went on to keep the car for 13 years until it was purchased by H J Marshall, a precision engineer from Manchester. Over the next 20 years, ‘HWW 54T' became a labour of love as a complete re-build was undertaken with the owner even building a new garage in which to carry out the work! In 2013 the love affair was over. The car at this stage was 95% complete including a new interior, bare metal respray, new suspension and brakes. The respected Ferrari specialists ‘QV London' were commissioned to complete the final stages in May 2014, including a 6000 mile service, the obligatory belts and tensioners, all fluids and a steering and suspension nut and bolt check. Supplied with a UK V5c, a fresh MoT, this fabulous dry sump, steel bodied, carburettor 308 GTB is ready to grace the roads again for the first time in 20 years.

1964 Ferrari 330 GT Series I

The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series I made its debut at the Brussels Salon in January 1964, proceeding its earlier ‘250 2+2 GTE' and ‘330 America' cousins. The ‘Series I' was much more than a re-engined 250, it was a bolder, more distinctive incarnation in both looks and performance. Pininfarina was once again entrusted with the styling, their vision of Ferrari's evolution drew muse from the cars' predecessors, yet included some more daring design elements. A sharper nose and tail, a wide grille, and the espousal of a characteristic quad headlight arrangement, all of which reflected the tastes of Ferrari's most important export market, the USA. Although some criticised its styling, the 'Series I' four-headlight 330GT has become truly evocative of 1960's fashion, lauded both for its individuality and Pininfarina's purity of design. The fantastic Gioacchino Colombo designed high output V-12 engine was fitted to all 300GT series and produced an impressive 300bhp, adorned with triple Weber carburettors, this combination taking the vehicle from 0-100km in an astounding 6.3 seconds, making it the fastest road going Ferrari of the time. Ordered on the 9th of July 1964 through Maranello Concessionaires Ltd, the car offered here is one of only 49 right hand drive examples produced and was later delivered to its first owner on the 9th of September 1964, as depicted by the bill of sale and order form. The car appears to have been meticulously maintained from new, with service and invoice records present from 1965 and the early 1970s, showing extensive upkeep whilst also acquiring its distinctive registration '66 DDH'. Similarly well cared for in the 1980s, the history file shows the car received a costly engine overhaul in 1986 by Dino Services Ltd, including the fitting of a new clutch for good measure. As additional testament to the cars' history of painstaking upkeep, Dino Services Ltd went on to carry out further servicing and maintenance the following year, including a rebuild of the brake system. 66 DDH has enjoyed a varied and extensive history, and can even boast a brief weekend racing career, achieving a first in class and fourth overall at the Thruxton Bank Holiday Novice Championship on the 4th of May 1987, earning its salt as a truly nimble and great handling GT Ferrari. Purchased by Mohamed Al Fayed as part of the Modena Engineering collection when he bought the company in 1989, 66 DDH was subject to further extensive work between August 1989 and August 1991 with receipts showing expenditure in excess of £30,000. It was during this time that the car was repainted ‘Rosso' red by Al Fayed, as was the fashion in the early 1990s. Records show conscientious upkeep of the vehicle until its departure from the collection in 1996, followed by continuing, regular care, into the early 2000s. After being procured in 2004, the car began a sympathetic renovation by Hoyle & Fox and during subsequent years. 66 DDH was returned to its original factory interior and exterior colours of Grigio leather and Notte Bleu Metallizzato, underwent a gearbox overhaul in 2007, and a brake system rebuild in 2009. 66 DDH was purchased by the vendor in 2011 and shows a believed genuine, but unwarranted, mileage of just over 54,800. This coupled with a lifetime of diligent upkeep, means the car is presented in fine fettle and prior to the auction will be prepared and serviced by Terry Keys Ferrari Specialists. The vibrant metallic blue paintwork is in keeping with the cars' design, accentuating the iconic shape of the early cars and is complemented by the enduring appeal of the original Borrani wire wheels. Clearly one of the fastest cars of the early-to-mid sixties era, and with only 627 cars ever made, 49 of these in RHD, the 330GT had, without doubt, very few rivals. In all, presented here today is an excellent and honest example of the car that Enzo Ferrari himself once described as his favourite. This Ferrari 330 GT Series I is certainly worthy of serious consideration given its growing desirability in the collectors market and the sensible guide price, further exemplified by its impressive history file from new.

Designed in 1949 by Vittorio Jano, and unveiled in 1950 to a nation slowly recovering from a World War, the Lancia Aurelia was very simply, revolutionary. The car combined luxury, performance, looks and charisma, and offered a dream to a nation just finding their way. The Aurelia bristled with innovation - the first V6 production engine, transaxle, inboard rear brakes, monocoque construction and a very efficient slippery shape. In a country in love with motor sport it's no surprise that the Aurelia was immediately seized upon by wealthy Italian privateers, and achieved almost instant success in competition throughout Europe starting with a second place in the 1951 Mille Miglia in virtually standard form. The model went on to be developed over almost 8 years and six distinct Series and were bought by wealthy discreet Italians and those in the know throughout Europe. The 4th. Series differed from earlier cars mainly in the introduction of de Dion tube rear suspension, further improving an already great handling car and Series 4 cars were offered from 1954. Our little Lancia offered here, is indeed a right hand drive Series 4 GT250 B20 with the later suspension and a 2.5 ltr, V6 producing 118hp, and is one of 573 built during 1954. Its first registered owner was Douglas Abercrombie from Essex and he was followed by 3 more UK owners.The car may have been imported to Holland in 1996 but certainly the last registered owner is given as Netherlands Classic Park BV. It is difficult to look at this fabulous '54 Lancia without wanting to take it home. Carefully restored in the late 90s, every aspect of this vehicle still looks spot-on. Finished in Baby Blue (officially Azzuro Agnano-Celeste Aurelia) with white wheels and superb brightwork. The interior is painted, with the upholstery in Oatmeal piped with Tan. Immaculate Black rubber floormats complete the very 50's cabin. There are Dutch papers with the car. All in all. Wonderful.

Upon the mention of AC Cobra, only one man's name immediately springs to mind - Carroll Shelby. It was this Texan racer who saw a bright future in the plucky British built AC Ace and went on to install a small block Ford V8, and from this the legendary Cobra was born. During the 1970s, a service and parts business run by Brian Angliss began to build a strong reputation for maintaining AC's, and the closure of the AC factory in Thames Ditton created the opportunity for him to buy tooling, jigs, bucks and dozens of specialised parts enabling him to fabricate new aluminium Cobra bodies. In 1986, after prolonged negotiations he was allowed to purchase the rights to the AC name and in a joint venture with Ford, his company, Autokraft, began offering the, now legally titled, AC Cobra Mk. IV until production ceased in 1996 with approximately 480 cars having been assembled. Presented here is a 1995 AC Cobra Mk. IV built by AutoKraft with an aluminium body and featuring a 5.0 litre Ford V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. According to the 4th Edition, World Registry of Cobras & GT40s by Rick Kopec (2008), where this car is listed under chassis #AK1511, it is one of only 3 automatic cars ever made, and was believed to have been delivered new to the Royal Family of Brunei as a special order. The next owner of this very rare car, a Mr N. Green of Poole, proudly took possession of this Red Road Rocket in 1999 and from this time used the car infrequently over the next 14 years as the current odometer reading of around 3,300 miles lays testament. Finished in Rosso Corsa Red with a black leather interior, this fine example comes with all of its weather equipment in good order, all relevant instruction and service books, and will arrive at the sale with a fresh MoT certificate, along with its UK V5c. This Mk.IV offers an amazing opportunity to own a piece of late Cobra history whilst combing a more modern driving experience with all the drama, style and grace of its predecessors.

With a desire to compete in Group 4 racing, Porsche unveiled the Carrera 2.7 RS (Rennsport) at the 1972 Paris Motor Show. Using the proven 2.4 litre 911S as the basis for the new car, they introduced a number of performance upgrades, enlarging the engine to 2.7 litres which now developed 210hp with Kugelfischer fuel injection, revised and stiffened suspension, flaring the wheel arches to accommodate larger Fuchs alloy wheels, bigger brakes and fitting the distinctive ‘ducktail' spoiler. Although the homologation regulations for Group 4 necessitated the building of a minimum of 500 cars, such was the demand for this exciting new car, the most powerful road-going Porsche ever produced at the time, that 1,590 examples were built and of that number, 200 were Lightweights, while 1,308 were road going Touring models. Over the last 40 years the Carrera RS has earned a reputation as the greatest dual purpose Porsche ever produced, and has become the very essence of balanced performance. Chassis 9113601175 was built to Touring specification (472), and according to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity was originally equipped with Sports Seats (409), headrests (258), 3-point safety belts (419), Electric Antenna (441) and Rear Impact Protection (569). The car was initially supplied by Glocker Sportwagen GmbH, Frankfurt, in May 1973 to Harald Palleck and remained with him until 1995 before being passed to its second owner, Sig. Vezzini, in Italy. During his ownership, a full and exacting restoration was undertaken between 1996 and 1999. The third owner, Nicola Sardi, purchased the car in 2008, keeping it just North of Genoa before selling it to the current owner who imported it into the UK. Finished in the original Porsche colour of Light Yellow, with black leatherette and corduroy interior, this 2.7 RS Touring retains its original engine and gearbox and presents beautifully. Mechanically, although no invoices are on file, it's believed that the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt as the car performs particularly well. Supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, current MoT certificate, handbooks, photos of the restoration and sundry invoices, this gorgeous car can now be registered in the UK or exported worldwide.

Launched in Roadster form, at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine, the level of acclaim was such that Jaguar founder and design head, William Lyons, put the XK120 into production. The first roadsters, hand built with aluminium bodies on Ash frames mounted on modified Jaguar Mark V chassis, were constructed between late 1948 and early 1950. In order to meet the unexpected demand beginning with the late 1950's cars all bodyshells were pressed steel, although they retained aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid. With an alloy cylinder head, hemi-spherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin SU carburetors, the dual overhead cam 3.4 ltr straight six engine was comparatively advanced for its time and developed 160bhp. Development of the model continued with the introduction of the Special Equipment, or SE, in 1951 which boasted an extra 20bhp, bringing it up to 180bhp, and the styling enjoyed a few subtle changes. The "120" in its name referred to its 120mph top speed which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its introduction. Success in motor racing secured the cars future and an icon was born. Today, Jaguar XKs, and especially 120s, remain sought after with the Roadsters in particular carrying a premium over the Drophead and Fixed Head Coupés. This lovely XK120 OTS was built on July the 3rd, 1951 and shipped to Max Hoffman, the legendary New York importer and distributor on July 13th, 1951. At some point the car was shipped to Denmark where it is currently registered. This is an early part-aluminium, left hand drive car in gleaming white with a fabulous red interior, and is in beautiful condition following a six year restoration which was completed in 2004 and has obviously been lovingly maintained since. Amongst the paperwork with the car are a number of invoices, a letter indicating that the car had won a prize for the best XK 120 at a Jaguar show in Copenhagen and confirmation from Jaguar Cars Ltd. that this is a matching numbers vehicle. This early, split screen, open two seat, classic piece of Jaguar post war design personifies 50's elegance and would be welcome anywhere.

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was launched in 2011, and was the final development of the track-inspired series of 997 GT3 RS models. Only 600 examples were made and it was the last hurrah for the motorsport-derived Mezger flat-six that was bored out from 3.8 to 4.0 Litres, the largest displacement 911 engine ever. The normally aspirated power plant was crucially mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and achieved 494bhp at 8,250rpm. The 4.0 RS is considered by many to be one of the greatest drivers’ cars of all time and according to EVO Magazine when the car was released: “It is the ultimate 911, and you could easily argue it’s all the car you’ll ever need. It will become an icon.” This very special, left-hand drive, 4.0 Litre GT3 RS was supplied by the Porsche Centre Syd in Sweden to C09 specification and is number 387 of 600 cars built. It has covered only 4,000 miles from new and has had only 1 owner. The ECU data from the car has been checked, verified and is exemplary.

Jaguar introduced the E-Type in March 1961 to worldwide acclaim. Early forays into motor sport were rewarded in May of that year when Graham Hill celebrated the type's first win at Oulton Park. Success on the track was reflected on the road and was to continue right up to 1974, with over 70,000 E-Types eventually produced in Coventry. From 1961, the E-Type evolved and improved in its lifecycle from the original Series 1 CoupÃ©s and Roadsters, through the Series 2 cars of the late 1960s until finally the Series 3 arrived in late 1971.

1995 Ferrari 355 GTS Manual

Regarded by many as the last really pretty Ferrari, the 355 was launched in early 1994 and shared most of its dimensions with its predecessor the 348, but was, in most respects, a brand new design although retaining the Flying Buttress rear window styling cue which dated back to the 1965 206 Dino GT. The Berlinetta and the Targa topped GTS, were available initially with the 355 Spyder joining the range about a year later. An increase in capacity from 3.4 to 3.5 litres and a new 5 valve head, managed to produce 375 bhp from the longitudinally mounted V8 at a spine tingling 8,250 rpm. The six speed manual gearbox, with it's much improved synchromesh, combined with the instantly adjustable shock absorbers and extra engine power meant that the 355 was considerably more competent and consequently more enjoyable, than its predecessor. This Left Hand Drive, 355 GTS was supplied new, in early 1995 specified with electronically variable suspension, air conditioning and a six speed manual transmission. It's fitted with the 2.7 Motronic ignition system, which produces a little more power and is less complex than the later 5.2 and, as a pre air-bag model, sports the slimmer and more attractive steering wheel. Our vendor brought this car back from Europe in 2014, displaying an indicated mileage of 34,302 km but we are unable to warrant this. The car looks fabulous in the classic Ferrari colours of Rosso Corsa and Nero leather and appears to have been immaculately maintained in the past. The indicated mileage at its last service (21/10/14) was 34,454 Km. At this last visit to the dealer, the car enjoyed a full major brake and clutch service and the engine was removed to facilitate the change of cam-belts and tensioners and all the fluids were replaced. Whilst the engine was out, the owner decided to take the opportunity to carry out a considerable amount of detailing bringing the car up to an exceptional standard. The cam covers were repainted and all the engine ancillaries and the engine bay received lots of attention. The results are stunning and viewing is recommended. The car is shod with matching Michelin Sport Tyres and comes with a car cover, two seat covers, a steering wheel cover, a genuine Ferrari leather GTS roof cover, a tyre inflator kit and a couple of sets of keys. V8 Ferraris of this period need to be judged on condition. This car is, to quote a knowledgeable friend of mine "a very nice car", in wonderful condition with a recent engine-out cam-belt change, it handles well and feels amazing. Look at it, drive it and talk to the Bank!

1972 Porsche 911T Coupe

The Porsche 911 has featured consistently in the top ten cars of our generation. With a motor sport pedigree unsurpassed by any other car with true production underpinnings, it’s not surprising the 911 has endeared itself to the world. Coming of age at the beginning of the seventies, with wins at the Daytona 24hrs and the Targa Florio, they have never stopped winning since and cinema goers world wide became familiar with the distinctive shape as the car of choice for a number of top stars. For 1972 the 911( E series) had two major revisions, the most significant being an increase in capacity to 2341cc (known as the 2.4L) but remained on carburettors, and externally an aggressive new front spoiler was incorporated below the bumper. For just one year of production in1972, the engine oil filler was mounted on the right hand side rear wing. Offered here is a beautifully restored, matching numbers Porsche 911T finished in its original colour of Light Yellow (6262) that was originally supplied in 1972 by Porsche AG to Hamburg in Germany. Optional equipment specified at the time included, 6x15 Fuchs wheels, front and rear roll bars, Porsche black script on the sides, a leather steering wheel and tinted windows. It came to the UK in 1982 and has had six previous keepers. In 2012 it was fully restored, and the history file contains the most comprehensive sequence of photos that we have ever seen of any restoration process. Fully dismantled, the body shell was prepared to a very high level, and as the restoration took place, every component was either replaced or refurbished and photographed prior to fitting up. Without doubt, it’s a must to visit the documents desk to have a ‘marvel’. It also contains a detailed account of the expenditure with QV500.com, with the total an eye watering £91,920. This lovely, evocative little Porsche is ready for the road and comes with an M0T till January 2016. With the 911S now realising extraordinary sums, the 911T has started to look exceptional value, especially in this wonderful condition. They are also great to drive, with a torquey power delivery, all the tactility of an early Porsche and this one is finished in the best period colour. Irresistible.

1963 Aston Martin DB4 Series V Vantage

Built and sold between October 1958 and June 1963, the DB4 developed through no fewer than five series. The first had already undergone a number of improvements, including the fitting of heavy-duty bumpers after the first 50 cars and before the second series arrived in January 1960. A front-hinged bonnet, an enlarged sump and bigger brake calipers were the major changes made on the Series II, while the third series featured separate rear lights, two bonnet stays and a host of improvements to the interior fittings. The fourth series was readily distinguishable by its new grille, with seven vertical bars, a shallower bonnet intake and recessed rear lights and finally the fifth series was manufactured between September 1962 and June 1963 and was built on a 3.5" longer wheelbase allowing for increased leg room and a larger boot. The fifth series also gained 15" wheels, an electric radiator fan and a DB4GT shaped instrument panel. This matching numbers original right-hand drive Aston Martin DB4, chassis number ‘1197', was bought new in August 1963 and has a unique and interesting history, as it's one of just three Series 5 Vantages originally built with an automatic ‘Borg Warner' transmission. Delivered with some other non-standard equipment including a heated rear screen, Motorola radio, a Sundym glass windscreen and a standard engine to suit the unique transmission. This car has retained all these features apart from the transmission and carburettor set up, where triple SU components have recently replaced the original twin carburetors. Mr. H Seligman purchased the car new and it was maintained and serviced with Aston Martin works for the first 9,000 miles of its life. The original build sheet details specific works completed during this time and confirm original factory specifications. Since purchasing the car in 2004, the current owner, who is an enthusiastic and competitive driver, using his specialist Aston Martin race preparers, has completed a comprehensive mechanical rebuild of the car with the emphasis on maximizing and enhancing the driving experience. A period, 4-speed David Brown gearbox with overdrive has been fitted along with a full handling kit (springs and roll bars), front Koni dampers and billeted aluminum lever arm dampers at the rear and a DB4GT front end gives the car a purposeful look. The brakes have been updated with effective stainless steel brake pistons in aluminium piston housings (as per the original Dunlop units) and additionally, adjustable motorised power steering has been installed to further complement the driving experience. Further, well-executed detailing is epitomized by custom made ‘off-set' Borrani wheels, and a refined leather interior that has been re-trimmed to perfection. All non-original components are neatly presented under the bonnet and as a result, the car now incorporates a perfect blend of originality with all original body panels still on the car, and sympathetic upgrades that contribute to a more involving driving experience. The original automatic gearbox is included in the sale, as the vendor felt that it was an important part of this Aston's history. One of the most appealing aspects of this DB4 is the comprehensive history file, and there are factory records on the build sheet from 1963-1966 and informative correspondence from Aston Martin to the first two owners. Between 1973 and 2015, there are a large number of invoices, receipts, tax discs and previous MoT certificates, which all contribute to an informative insight into this car's fascinating history. The DB4 Series V is one of the rarest and most desirable models of the DB range. Indeed, the original James Bond ‘Goldfinger' car used in filming was in fact a DB4 Series V, as they look virtually identical and the DB5 had not quite been finished. Wonderfully presented in Goodwood Green with a red leather interior, this exquisite Aston Martin is now in excellent condition and is ready to be driven and appreciated by its next owner.

In January 1990, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. introduced their latest mid-engined, high performance sports car, and carrying on their tradition of naming its cars after legendary fighting bulls, chose a ferocious example raised by the Duke of Veragua in the 19th century known as "Diablo". Prior to its introduction, the sharp and dramatic lines of the Marcello Gandini design were somewhat softened by the pen of Tom Gale and his presentation of the car opened to rave reviews. The two door, rear wheel drive, mid-engined coupe was powered by a 5.7 ltr, V12 and about 490 horses found their way to the tarmac through a 5-speed manual transmission, resulting in a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. We are extremely pleased to be able to offer for sale this stunning 1998 (MY) Diablo SV. This was the first time since the Miura Super Veloce that these initials had been used and this model differed from earlier Diablos having an increased power output (510bhp), larger front brakes, an adjustable spoiler and three piece wheels. This car is an extremely high specification SV finished in Blue Scuro with Snowcorn hide, and is believed to be one of only three 1998 cars in this combination. It is fitted, from the factory with SE30/Monterey Edition side skirts and rear bumper, colour coded adjustable rear spoiler, carbon fibre rear light surrounds and dual fog lamps. Currently, the car has a sports exhaust fitted but the original catalytic converters and exhaust are available. The interior of the car is equally impressive and is trimmed in factory correct half leather and half Alcantara. Most of the trim is now carbon fibre including the door sills, centre console, steering wheel cowl and dash surround and the vehicle is fitted with a Focal Audio sound system with a navigation package. First delivered to Lamborghini G.B on the 3rd. of January, 1998, it was main dealer maintained for the first two services and has since been looked after by Lamborghini specialists Carrera Sport, and there are service invoices with the car for every year from 2001 until March 2015. Just prior to sale in August, an engine-out service was carried out by Carrera Sport and no expense has been spared to keep this Diablo "on the button". The odometer currently indicates 50,285kms / 31,245 miles. The car comes with an extensive history file containing the UK V5c, copies of previous V5cs, Hardback Owner's Manual, Service manual, old service invoices and previous MoTs. The personalised registration is being ratained by the vendor. These cars are total head-turners and not for the faint-hearted, so if you find the sound of creaking necks as you burble down the High Street disturbing, then this may not be for you, however if you are keen on finding an immaculate, seriously quick, piece of Italian Motoring Art with exceptional provenance, then this Diablo SV is without peer.

At the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, Aston Martin introduced the long awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7. Sporting a Cosworth designed, 5.9 litre V12 producing a creamy 420bhp the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its 6-cylinder predecessor, demanding a larger intake and other modifications to the frontal airflow were made to aid cooling. Other changes included chassis and braking upgrades, to cope with the increased performance and Ian Callum enlarged the grill, added fog lamps and re-styled the valances to give the car a more purposeful look. The Vantage interior leather trim was cut and sewn at a special trim shop at Newport Pagnell, where the carpet and wood veneers were also prepared. The 5.9 Litre V12 Vantage Volante, costing over £100,000 at its launch, remained in production until 2004. Offered here, is a DB7 5.9 litre V12 Vantage Volante Automatic, supplied new on the 18th of December 2003 by Aston Martin of Reading. This stunning example is finished in the desirable combination of Solent Silver with a Cream Parchment leather interior, the seats are piped in Pacific Blue and the dashboard and carpets are finished in a similar colour. The car was specified with 18" alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, heated front screen, a leather tonneau cover, embroidered mats, and a 6 CD changer.

Along with a UK V5c and all of its original service & drivers manuals there is a comprehensive file of old MoT's and service invoices, showing that no expense has been spared on this lovely Aston despite its minimal usage. Even the original order form and purchase invoice are with the car. Now showing just over 8,500 warranted miles on the odometer, and with one fastidious owner from new, this DB7 Vantage Volante is in fine condition having always being kept in a temperature controlled garage. With the prices of its earlier DB predecessors continuing to rise, this extremely low mileage and well-cared for DB7 surely ticks all the boxes for any serious car collector.

1934 Bentley 3 1/2 Litre Three Position Drophead Coupe by Thrupp & Maberly

This remarkably original ‘Derby’ Bentley 3½ litre has been dry stored for 50 years. Its last MoT shows April 1965 and since then it has lived in the workshop of a Renault dealership in North London. The Bentley Drivers Club has confirmed from factory records, that AYK789 was sold new to Esmond Harmsworth (1898-1978) who was the 3rd son of Viscount Rothermere, founder of the Daily Mail, and Esmond took delivery of the Bentley in April 1934. Chassis B185 AE is the 93rd ‘Derby’ built and the third with a Thrupp and Maberley body, in this case a three-position – fully folded or ‘De Ville’ - 4/5 seater drop head coupe in black with black leather. As well as the usual Lucas P100 headlamps, one-shot lubrication and thermostatic radiator vanes, the additional equipment included ‘heavy duty’ bumpers (with harmonic stabilisers) and factory wheel discs. This handsome, restrained body would have cost Rothermere an additional £500 on top of the £1100 for the bare chassis as delivered from Derby to Thrupp and Maberly’s works at Cricklewood. Its history between 1934 and 1952 is sadly unknown (the DVLA don’t have the pre-war logbook history on the car), but as a press baron, Viscount Rothermere would probably have had access to enough rationed fuel to keep using the Bentley, if necessary, throughout the hostilities. What we do know however, is that at some point it found its way to Mascot Motors and in November 1952 was sold to Alfred Guy Lever Mason of South Gate for £800. Mr Mason was the works director of the Standard Telephone Company, and was a very particular man who generated a large amount of correspondence about the car, although he apparently did most of the routine maintenance himself. The impressive history file starts with a long letter from Mason to Commander Kellner (retd.) of Mascot Motors stipulating that before delivery to his house in Southgate he wanted all the rattles sorted, a new windscreen, the electrics repaired, and a three month warranty on the engine. The mileage was 37,000 at that stage and Mason put another 30,000 miles on the Bentley as a weekend car between 1952 and his death in 1965. During that time, AYK789 was looked after by L.G Motors of 177 Archway Road, Highgate who, on average, saw the car three times a year for routine repairs and adjustments. L. G Motors was a family run business headed by Arthur Gold, who later became Sir Arthur Gold having been knighted in 1984 for his services to national and international sports administration. As well as leading British teams to the Olympics, Gold became known as sport’s most vehement anti-drugs campaigner. Arthur Gold bought the Bentley from Mr. Mason’s widow in 1965 for £180, and an engineer’s report he wrote on AYK789 at the time, shows that it was still in very sound condition in the mid-sixties and fully usable. His son Jonathan Gold recalls that the family used the car for the Summer of that year before embarking on a ‘light restoration’ which actually only got as far as removing half the paint and sending the bumpers and all the other bright work off to the chromers. The re-plated parts were returned and are still wrapped in 1967 newspaper in the boot. Meanwhile L.G Motors had changed its name to A A Gold, and became an early British Renault franchise. When the business moved to premises in Belsize Park in the 70s, the Bentley went with it, always with the intention that that it would be put back together someday. Arthur Gold became increasingly distracted with his work with athletics administration (many of his notes in the Bentley file are written on the back of British Amateur Athletic Board headed paper), and his successful Renault sales and servicing business and inevitably the Bentley was not a priority, although the file shows he made various attempts to find parts in the seventies and get the project under way again. As presented today, it is still largely in the sort of condition one might expect of a car left untouched since the 50s. Admittedly the fabric of the three position hood has disintegrated and the alloy body has acquired lots of small dents and decades of workshop dust, yet the doors – ash framed with twin catches - have not dropped, the windows still wind smoothly up and down and most of the original tools are still fitted neatly into the underside of the boot lid. It has its original leather and carpets, although the cushion of the driver’s seat has gone missing along with the door cards. The woodwork is very presentable and the dash is complete with the, presumably, post-war addition of an ex RAF Kollsmann altimeter, for driving across the Alps to the Italian Lakes. There is a 50's type Smiths heater under the dashboard and the instrumentation and switchgear is complete with the usual advance/retard and choke controls on the steering wheel boss and a mechanical linkage to dip the headlamps.

The Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 was unveiled to the press and public at the 1960 Le Mans Vingt-Quatre Heures, and served as the Course Car during the race. It was appropriate, however, as even though this model was never designed as a competition car, the engine and chassis are based on the iconic 250 SWB, one of the most famous racing cars of all time. Although several special order 2+2s had been produced in the 1950s, this was Ferrari’s first true production 2+2 and enabled them to widen their potential market and compete directly with Aston Martin, Maserati and Facel Vega. The new 2+2 would bring for the first time, wide-scale production, with 953 examples in total, across three model variants, being produced between 1960 and 1963. It is widely recognized that fewer than half of the original GTE models have survived, as so many were adapted to recreate the California Spider and 250 SWB. The 250 GTE was built on the same chassis used for the other 250 series Coupés, with the short wheelbase of 102.3 inches being retained and the engine moved forward by 8 inches to provide room for the rear seats. Additional interior space was provided by widening the front and rear wheel track and the net result was a spacious cabin, capable of carrying two adults and two children in comfort for extended periods of time. The model was powered by the mighty 3-litre V12 engine designed by Gioacchino Colombo, a power unit that proved to be resilient and flexible whilst providing an incredible soundtrack, magnifying the whole driving experience. Styled by Pininfarina, the 250 GTE succeeded in enhancing Ferrari's reputation as film stars, business tycoons and celebrities, such as Frank Sinatra were proud to take ownership and naturally never missed a photo opportunity with the latest example of Italian exotica. Chassis number 03823 GT was completed by the Ferrari factory in 1962, and delivered to the French market dealer Franco Brittanic Automobiles, to be presented at the 1962 Paris Motor Show. The car is featured in the 1962 Ferrari Year Book with pictures in the history file of it gleaming on the show stand. The original build sheet showed this car was finished in Celeste with a Beige hide interior, and it retains this same colour combination today with faithfully matched specifications. The Maranello Concessionaires Archive have confirmed the engine number as 03823, the internal engine number as 456/62, the gearbox number as 642E and axle number as 549E. Full Ferrari Classiche certification was approved by Ferrari in July 2015, and confirms the originality of all these mechanical components. In Addition, we have the official Ferrari Classiche book available for viewing at the auction, which details the entire Classiche authentication . At the end of 1962, this 250 GTE was sold to its first owner, Monsieur M. Delle Siede, and registered 930 HB 51 as an early Christmas present on 19th of December. It passed through a further three keepers until surfacing in the 1990s in Lille, registered to a Monsieur M.Cleton. At the end of 1992, it was acquired by a Ferrari dealer in Lille and he refurbished the car and kept it for 15 years as part of his private collection. In 2006, it was sold to the previous owner, who commissioned a large amount of work between 2007 and 2013, including a full rebuild of the engine and transmission by respected Ferrari specialists Garage V12 Automobiles, and there are bills in the history file totalling €22,800. Additional work included a rear axle rebuild, refurbishment of the Borrani wheels and a new Orbisoud stainless steel exhaust system, making this V12 thoroughbred sound absolutely sensational. Purchased by the current vendor in France in 2013, he brought the car back to the UK and immediately set about cosmetically restoring this wonderful Ferrari. The bodywork was completely taken back to bare metal, which proved to be exceptionally sound and there are pictures in the history file documenting this entire process including pictures of the car stripped of its paint, then beautifully finished by respected specialists and returned to its original colour of Celeste 19321, as detailed in the Maranello Archive. The hide interior was painstakingly sourced from UK Hide, who faithfully produced the same Connolly leather, hand finished to match period quality. Most of the chrome work was re plated and polished to a very high standard. When the car was stripped down, it was also discovered that the body number (242) is stamped on all splash guards, A-post trims, rear quarter trims, rear seats and the glove box light cover, which have all been photographically recorded. Offered with a fascinating Paris motor show history and all aforementioned paperwork documenting its originality, this completely matching numbers Ferrari 250 GTE offers its next owner the same iconic Ferrari 250 Colombo engined ownership at a fraction of the cost of the other 250 variants.

Despite its name, the two door Continental was produced principally for the domestic home market with just 208 built, only 75 of these being the very desirable D-Series models. Like many handcrafted coachbuilt cars of the period, the chassis were produced at the Rolls-Royce Crewe factory and shared many components with the standard R-Type. Coachwork for the majority of cars was completed by H. J. Mulliner & Co. with most orders for the Fastback Coupé (design number 7277). A distinctive style of coachwork, the lightweight, aluminium wind-tunnel developed fastback from Mulliner focussed strongly on keeping weight to a minimum in order to maximise power and performance. The R-Type Continental was the first four seat sports coupé capable of speeds of up to 120mph. The early R-Type Continental had essentially the same engine as the standard R-Type but with modified carburation, induction and exhaust manifolds along with higher gear ratios. The A, B and C Series cars were fitted with 4.5 litre engines that displaced 4,566cc and produced 158bhp. In July of 1954, production of the D-Series cars began with the bore increased to 3¾ inches, raising the displacement to 4,877cc. Mated to a manual gearbox, the result is a potent continental cruiser or surprisingly docile and manageable city charger. This late D-Series Fastback, chassis number BC58D, was ordered new by a Mr R. Montague Burton of tailoring fame on 16th November 1954. It was delivered with HJ Mulliner 2-door Fastback coachwork in Circassian Blue with beige hide and the highly sought after 4.9 Litre D-Series engine, that remains in the car today (engine number BCD57). Special features included a synchromesh gearbox, arm rests on the doors, a divided bench seat in the front with centre arm rests, 2 standard and 2 high frequency horns, a recess in the left-hand door providing space for picnic equipment, Le Mans type headlights, fog lamps, radio and a special average speed meter that is still fitted to the car. Bespoke luggage for the boot was also ordered and these desirable items remain with the car today along with a jack, beautifully fitted tool kit and handbook. The first registration number was 2048UG and it was subsequently registered as RMB1, SUM1, 41CWF, JRH 5 and currently 622YUS. There is a detailed record of historical ownership and the car has remained in England its entire life. Delivered to Montague Burton on 12th March 1955, he owned the car until January 1961, when it was purchased by W. S. Teal. Mr Teal sold the car in January 1962 to a Mr L. J. MacDonald who owned it for 5 years, then passed to a Mr J. Wardell in 1967. In August 1970, Trago Mills Limited took possession of the vehicle and it was subsequently sold to a Mr A. I. Sutherland in October 1972. Mr Sutherland owned BC58D until 1992 when it was acquired by J. R. Henley. It was purchased by the current owner from Mr Henley in 2013 and he is now the 8th owner of the vehicle from new. In the last 2 years the current owner, a long-term RREC and BDC enthusiast, has spent in excess of £50,000 with Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists A&S Engineering. They have helped in servicing and improving the car to bring it up to the wonderful condition in which you see it today. The original interior hide is in outstanding condition and has been delicately re-Connollised, along with new carpets in the boot and interior. The car has a unique and well-documented history and is supplied with two files of documentation, including build sheets, handbooks, maintenance instructions for the coachwork, historical photographs, Autocar road tests, owners’ correspondence, past tax discs and servicing invoices. Furthermore, this Continental Fastback is offered with the very special Bentley Motor’s Commemorative Folio Edition produced in 2008 for each of the 208 R type Continentals produced, with BC58D well represented in the book. It is unique in that the page dedicated to BC58D is signed by the very first owner, Mr R Montague Burton as well as the owner from 1992 – 2013, Mr Henley, and the current owner. The car is described by the vendor as "in outstanding overall condition and the powerful 4.9 litre engine pulls smoothly and strongly, the brakes are superb and the gearbox a delight." The indicated mileage (believed to be correct) is 90,567 miles and the car has recently received a fresh MoT certificate. We welcome pre-sale inspections and buyers should feel free to contact the office for more information. With many trouble-free continental touring miles already to its name, this most elegant of benchmark collector cars is ready to deliver so many more under new stewardship.

1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI Targa

The Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI ( mechanical fuel injection) model was built for all markets, except for the United States and used the 210hp engine from the 1973 Carrera RS, making them mechanically identical. Introduced in 1974 on the new G-Series chassis, the floor pans were strengthened, lighting was improved and larger bumpers were incorporated. With the proven 210bhp, 2,687cc air-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine on Bosch injection, 0-60mph was achieved in just over 5 seconds and the car was geared for 150mph through its 5-speed manual transmission. The suspension was fully independent with torsion bars, McPherson struts and anti-roll bars. The total weight was just over 1,075 kilograms, which made the Euro-spec 2.7 MFI a very fast car in its day. In fact, it was the fastest production 911 until the late 1980s. Offered here is one of only six UK model Carrera MFI Targa’s, making it a very rare Porsche. The Certificate of Authenticity confirms that it was supplied to Porsche Cars Great Britain with amongst other options, front and rear spoilers. First registered on November 15th 1974, the registration document shows six owners although interestingly, two are from the same family and two are the same owner who registered the car both here in the UK and in Ireland, so effectively its only had four keepers. Chassis #0050 is an excellent survivor and is matching numbers, with a recorded genuine mileage of 80,084 miles. The Targa retains its original option 1975 ‘’whale tail’’ spoiler, original Fuchs 7& 8 X 15 inch alloys and thicker grip steering wheel. In 1995 at 61,558 miles, the engine was rebuilt and a full restoration began with further mechanical reconditioning. Photos of this work are included in the history file along with the relevant invoices. The restoration included refinishing the car in Guards Red, from its original Gemini Blue Metallic. A large folder of history, old MoT’s, invoices, pictures and records accompany the car. No other 911 performs or sounds like a 2.7 Carrera on MFI, both extremely rare in RHD. Our very original, chassis 0050 is already a seventies Porsche icon and much admired, and with G model MFI Carrera prices rising quickly, this car is ideal for a Porsche enthusiast, collector or investor.

2009 Ferrari F430 Scuderia

Serving as the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia was unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Designed to compete with cars like the Porsche RS and the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (super light weight), it is lighter by 100 kg and more powerful, 503bhp at 8500 rpm, than the standard F430. The increased power output stems from a revised intake, re designed exhaust and an ion sensing knock detection system that allows for a higher compression ratio resulting in the weight-to-power ratio being reduced from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp. In addition to the weight saving measures, the Scuderia semi automatic transmission gained an improved "Superfast" software system known as "Superfast 2", creating faster 60 millisecond gearshift times and a new traction control system combined the F1-Trac traction and stability control with the E-Diff electronic differential. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia accelerates from 0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 202 miles per hour (325 km/h). Ferrari claims that around their test track, Fiorano Circuit, it matches the Ferrari Enzo, and the Ferrari F430's successor, the Ferrari 458. Presented in its original colour of Grigio Medio 791 (this paint colour was offered by Ferrari in the 1950s and 60s) with an unusual interior in full Alcantara red leather, this Scuderia is, to date, the only one made by Ferrari in that exterior / interior combination. The car also comes with its full Ferrari tool kit, books, original cover and the impressive VIP PASSPORT. Although this vehicle has never been registered, it has service records indicating that the last inspection was done in February 2015 at a cost of 1,200 Euros without VAT and photographs of this inspection are available. The new price of this beautiful car was approximately 270.000 Euros, with an impressive list of options (listed below) adding roughly another 65,000 Euros to the base price.

1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Drophead

The Silver Cloud was introduced in April 1955, was powered by a 160bhp, 6 cylinder in-line engine and over the years, was adorned with coach built bodies by the best in the business. By 1959 however, increased competition put greater demand on Rolls-Royce to stay abreast of the market and the pressure was on to re-invent. The answer was a complete move from the six cylinder powerplant to an all new V8 with a cubic capacity of 6,230cc and a claimed 200bhp; some 25% more than the inline six. Maintaining the refined performance and achingly beautiful bodies for which they were famed remained paramount for R-R, and despite a trend for modern buyers to look beyond coach built craftsmanship and more closely toward Standard Steel Saloon bodies, thankfully at least some of the core audience understood what it meant to own a coach built Rolls', let alone a Drophead variant... By rights, the correct term to describe the H.J. Mulliner Cloud II Drophead is as an ‘Adaptation' and care must be taken not to confuse these hand-crafted period Adaptations with cars that have been converted in later life. From our research we understand that just 32 original H.J. Mulliner Drophead Coupes were built in right hand drive configuration on the Cloud II chassis, but other sources guesstimate this could have been fewer still. Expertly restored by a dedicated team of skilled craftsman from the Byrnes Motor Trust, and entered to the Concours d'Elegance at Salon Prive 2015, this charming Cloud II Adaptation in glorious Sand paintwork with complementing luxurious Beige interior trim and deep grain burr walnut wood trimmings is magnificent to behold. A column-change automatic gearbox variant, this capable V8 powered gentleman's carriage demands respect and emanates a charm never likely to be matched by manufacturers of today. There is no finer and greater way to make an occasion of any journey than by undertaking that from behind the wheel of a Drophead Rolls-Royce. The electrically operated hood in matching sand-coloured material fits snugly when in place and stows neatly beneath a fitted tonneau when the weather affords open-top motoring. The engine bay is a masterpiece of shiny chrome, steel, matt paint and purposeful engineering. The detail of this car from the oversized front grille and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot to the instrument panel, occasional tables and even the ashtrays shout 60's opulence and over-engineered craftsmanship. It's impossible not to fall head over heals in admiration for the level of design, expertise and skill that goes into creating a Crewe built Rolls-Royce, and we hope that you'll share our enthusiasm when the car passes under the hammer. We encourage you in the strongest terms, to please come and see for yourself just how important this car will prove to be over the next forty years.

1958 AC Ace Bristol

Lot # 231 (Sale Order: 47 of 78)

Make: ACYear: 1958Registration: YSU362Chassis Number: BEX406Engine Number: 100D763Estimate - Range: 180000-220000

The AC Ace first appeared at Earls Court in 1953 and epitomised a new era of British post-war sports car production. The owners of AC, Charles and Derek Hurlock, along with AC agent, Ken Rudd, transformed the company's reputation by taking a racing special and putting it into production, with notable stylistic influences from Italian sports cars of the era. The result was a car that delivered both on the road, and particularly on the track thanks to the input of racing chassis designer John Tojeiro. Tojeiro employed the same simple tubular ladder-type chassis with an aluminium body that he had used in his earlier specials. However, the Ace boasted all-round independent suspension by transverse springs (the first British sports car to do so), ensuring superb handling with minimal body roll and plenty of feedback. Such was the success of the Ace chassis, it became the foundation for the mighty Shelby Cobras with over three times the power of the original 105bhp, Weller designed, six-cylinder engine. The outdated AC unit eventually made way for the more refined Bristol straight-six, which had evolved from the pre-war BMW 328. The Bristol engine was far more suited to racing, as demonstrated with some success by Cooper, and in its standard form developed 128bhp at 6000rpm. Consequently, it is the Bristol engined Ace that is most sought after by collectors. The Ace Bristol enjoyed significant competition success being campaigned by enthusiastic club racers, private owners and most famously by the Ken Rudd team at Le Mans in 1957 and 1958. Bristol engined Aces were run successfully at Le Mans from 1957 to 1962 by various entrants however, it was on a domestic club level where Ace Bristols earned their reputation as supreme racing machines. In total, only 466 Ace Bristols were manufactured and they are justifiably hot property amongst collectors as very few examples come onto the open market. The AC Ace was a truly innovative piece of design, and represents the foundation from which the legendary Cobra was developed. Chassis number BEX406 is a Bristol engined Ace originally delivered to British Columbia Sports Cars in Canada on 3rd February 1958. According to the AC Owner's Club, the original colour was Svecia Red with a black leather interior and the car has recently been returned to this original colour scheme. By all accounts, the car was mainly set up for road use and had lived an easy life in Canada prior to repatriation to England in 1990. The car was discovered and purchased at this time by respected AC specialist, Brian Classic, and he shipped the car back to England and had it converted to right-hand drive. It was purchased by a Mr C. Cadogan-Rawlingson of Suffolk, an AC Owner's Club member, in 1991 and he was its custodian for 18 years. A Mr O'Connell acquired BEX406 in 2009 and had the engine, clutch and gearbox rebuilt by engine specialist Nick Finburg. This was carried out in order to compete in the 2010 Spa 6 hours, Dijon-Prenois and Sir Stirling Moss Trophy for pre-1961 sportscars at the Silverstone Classic. In 2013, the car was purchased by its current owner, who has enjoyed it on road rallies and at the 60th anniversary ACOC race at Silverstone in 2014. Recent works carried out by the vendor have included a suspension rebuild, and a complete overhaul of the rear axle, brakes, and steering amongst other mechanical components. The aluminium, foam-filled, fuel tank holds 45 litres and feeds the fuel through a high-performance fuel pump, regulator and filter. The cooling features a deep core aluminium radiator with a Kenlowe thermostatic controlled fan and Evans waterless coolant. The ignition has been supplied by IN Racing and features a competition programmed electronic distributor. A new starter motor and alternator have been commissioned in the style of a period dynamo and all of these recent improvements have resulted in a car that inspires real confidence when driven. Additional features include a removable roll bar and full harness seat belts, both FIA approved, electrical kill switch, rear fog light, Brantz rally timer, calibrated gauges, good Avon tyres all weather equipment and a removable hard top. One of the most appealing features of this AC Ace is its originality. The engine is the original 'D' series unit and is mated to its original gearbox with the all-important overdrive. Being one of the later Bristol engines, this car produces 128bhp compared to 125bhp in earlier models. A test on the engine in 2014 revealed very healthy compression in all 6 cylinders and this test report is available for viewing in the history file. The bodywork features original body stampings on the bonnet and boot and overall the chassis and body retain excellent patina. Supplied with an MSA Historical Technical Passport valid for racing, hill climbs and rallies, this charming Ace is eligible and would be welcomed at some extremely prestigious racing events around the world.

1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona

Two years after Lamborghini debuted the mid-engined Miura in 1966, Ferrari launched its defiantly traditional and determinedly contrasting alternative, the 365 GTB/4. Almost immediately the 365 GTB/4 gained its ‘Daytona' moniker from Ferrari's 1-2-3 result in the 1967 24-hour race of the same name. The Daytona's engine and handling certainly didn't undermine its racing nomenclature. The 4.4-litre, 4-cam V12 produced an astonishing 352bhp and, despite its 1,633kg bulk, the Daytona was billed as the fastest road car in the world. Not only was 174mph more than brisk, but crucially, it was faster than the Miura. The 5-speed gearbox was mounted at the rear for a more optimal weight distribution, and helped give the Daytona its predictable handling and solid road-holding. Like so many Ferraris of the period, the Daytona's beautiful bodywork was designed by Pininfarina with the car built by Scaglietti. The delicate front was cleanly cut with both pop-up and Plexiglas headlight varieties. The rear slope was suggestively rakish and a Kamm tail provided further clues as to the performance of the car. The wheel arch flares, although elegant in proportion, are the only real overt notion that this car has significant pace, until you drive one! Chassis #16447 is a left hand drive variant of the iconic Daytona and looks resplendent in its factory correct paint colour of Argento Metallizzato 106-E-1 with contrasting Black leather interior as it was in March 1973 when manufactured and subsequently sold to Mr. R. Minnick of New York. As with many Ferraris, there are some photographs of this car which we uncovered of it sporting Red paintwork, but a bill on file in 2011 shows that this was professionally returned to its original factory colour as it proudly displays today. This much loved car has been the recipient of well documented maintenance and mechanical works since 2005 to keep it in top running order, most notably among the two history folders which accompany this lot is an invoice for $12,000 USD in September 2012 from A.Z. Collector Cars, Arizona, for a pre-rally check and tune. Later, in June 2014, a further €7,000 was spent having the gearbox rebuilt which may explain why the car drives so well today. Beautifully presented and boasting original features such as the correct Cromodora wheels and Becker Mexico stereo, and a 2012 report by Ferrari Historian, Marcel Massini which accompanies the car, this Daytona truly represents a, perhaps, unrepeatable opportunity at today's guide price. Chassis #16647 is EU taxes paid and offered for sale with an MoT test certificate to April 2016 and a valid NOVA number. Depending on your preference for eventual registration, Silverstone Auctions will be able to help and assist you with this process.

The Ferrari Dino was created to honour Alfredo 'Dino' Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari's only legitimate son, who sadly died of muscular dystrophy in 1956. Unlike any previous road-going Ferrari, the Dino utilised a V6 engine, the Tipo 156, which Alfredo himself had helped develop and strongly advocated during his working life. Following continued motor racing success and in order to homologate Ferrari's 1966 Formula Two campaign, a new line of mid-engined production V6 coupés with Fiat running gear went on sale in 1967 in two litre form. However, in 1969 a larger 2.4 litre Dino was introduced, named the 246 GT or GTS in the case of the Spider. Only 3,913 definitive Dinos were built before the introduction of the completely restyled V8 engined 308 in 1973. The voluptuous bodywork of the 246, which many regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti. It clothed a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The compact four-cam, 190bhp. engine was mounted transversely above the five-speed gearbox and just ahead of the rear axle, allowing for both a comfortable cockpit and some usable boot space. This original right-hand drive matching numbers Dino, was delivered new on January the 24th, 1973 to Maranello Concessionaires Ltd. in England. It was sold by Dick Lovett for a total of £5,430.63 to the first and only registered keeper, notable classic car collector Angus Spencer-Nairn. Mr Spencer-Nairn ordered the car in the very rare colour of ‘Blu Metallic Dino’ (106.A.72) with additional options including electric windows and a beige leather interior. Following a new career opportunity, Mr Spencer-Nairn moved to Jersey and his beloved Dino came along with him on 3rd March 1975. In 1977, a D-Type Jaguar was acquired and became stable mates with the Dino, along with a number of Italian rarities. Having resided in Jersey since 1975, this Dino has not been driven many miles, in common with many cars from this small island. Consequently, the recorded mileage is only 23,301 miles from new. A decision was made approximately 20 years ago to paint chassis number 05470 and the colour was changed to Rosso Corsa. However, crucially the extremely rare leather interior was untouched during these works and, as a result, it's highly original from the carpets to the seats and the door cards, making it a complete pleasure to behold. Complete with its leather wallet as supplied, containing the warranty card, dealer booklet, manuals and even the original Ferrari duster, this Dino also boasts its period buff log books from both the UK and Jersey and these confirm the ownership record of just one from new. Further features include the original tool kit, jack and copies of the order forms from 1973. In addition, a full condition report will be made available to prospective buyers from respected marque experts Foskers, and all UK taxes have recently been paid. A 246 Dino that has covered only 23,000 miles is something very special indeed, but one that has been looked after by a single registered keeper from new is almost unheard of. It is our absolute pleasure to offer this exquisite car for public sale for the first time in its existence.

Built alongside and sharing many of the iconic styling features of the legendary 300SL Roadster, the Mercedes 190SL combined superlative build quality with understated styling and a not insignificant, 104 BHP from the 1.9 litre four stroke engine. An instant hit, the three-pronged star sparkled among the gloom of post-war austerity. The 1955 launch of the 190SL, cemented Mercedes Benz’s reputation as the car manufacture for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Its hugely successful production ran to 25,881 cars from 1955 until 1963, mainly in left-hand drive form, with most going to the North American market. Understandably few were made in right-hand drive and according to records, the total number of cars consigned for the British market stood at 562, with only 53 of these arriving here in 1962. The left-hand drive 190SL offered here, is a manual gearbox car on its original Solex carburettors and was first registered in California in 1960. Its period black California plates are still with the car. The car was sold to N.P.Storgaard in Denmark in 2003, who kept it until 2013 before passing it on to another Danish collector who was its custodian for the following two years. In classic Mercedes-Benz Silver with a bright red interior, this little German roadster looks fabulous sitting squarely on its period whitewall tyres. The interior of this 190 is a cocktail of chromium, glossy silver metal, black instruments, quality red carpets, white Bakelite and shiny red leather and is a wonderful place to be. The exterior looks to be in very good condition with excellent chrome and brightwork, the hood looks recent and under the bonnet everything is tidy and functional. There are a number of invoices with the car relating to service/ repair work carried out during its time in Denmark and the car is currently on Danish papers. This pretty little Mercedes-Benz roadster is practical and usable, and is ready to spend, what's left of our Summer, burbling around the Cotswolds.

Following the success of its predecessor, the 330 GT 2+2, the 365 GT 2+2 was debuted at the Paris Salon in October 1967 as a luxurious Grand Tourer capable of carrying four passengers. The 365 GT 2+2 was designed and created by the legendary styling house Pininfarina and housed a 4.4 litre V12 engine with three Weber 40-DFI/5 carburettors. Other refinements included independent suspension all round, power-assisted steering, air conditioning and electric windows. Offered here is a 365 GT 2+2, chassis number 13535, built in 1970 and it is an original right-hand drive UK-market car. Letters from the Ferrari owners club in 2003 to the owner at that time suggest the car had 3 previous owners before it made its way to France. Interestingly, one of the owners listed was a Mr & Mrs D. Bell, and as if by coincidence a certain Derek Bell was driving in his first Le Mans 24 hours for Ferrari that year in a works entered 512. Unfortunately we cannot confirm that the car was owned by the successful racing driver, but it does make for interesting reading! After a string of owners in the UK, the car spent the next chapter of its life on display in the Museé Automobile de La Clayette, France. It's believed that the car remained there for around 13 years before returning to the UK at the end of 1999 and was registered with the DVLA, bearing the registration number ANM 397H. The next owner was to keep the car for 3 years, before it was purchased by a Mr S. Brookman of Torquay in July 2005. Upon his purchase the car was sent to a Ferrari specialist, where it benefitted from new carpets, a carburettor overhaul and some light recommissioning work. In August 2009 the MoT certificate shows that ANM 397H had covered 85,533 miles. It was almost a month later that our vendor acquired the car and immediately set about returning this Prancing Horse back to its former glory, by making it as driveable and presentable as possible. As with all his previous classics, specialist restorers Trevor Farrington Ltd of Knutsford were entrusted with the car and their first job was to fit a new alternator and battery, remove, strip down and rebuild both the front and rear suspension and rebuild the brakes. The drive shafts were also sent to GKN engineering for inspection and overhaul. In March 2010 the engine was taken out, steamed cleaned, and the strip-down process started in preparation for a full in-house rebuild by Trevor Farrington and his team. All machining was carried out at the HeadShop (UK) Ltd in Warrington, before the engine was carefully reassembled, finally being reunited with the car in November 2010. Now mechanically sound, attentions were next turned to the body & paintwork and in the autumn of 2013 the aforementioned specialist began stripping the car down ready for a full repaint. At this time, any necessary body repairs were undertaken, and all brightwork and glass removed before finishing in Blu Chiaro. By the end of 2013, the car was finished, buffed, polished and MoT'd ready for our vendor to enjoy once again. Since then the car has been kept in a dehumidified garage and only used sparingly. Supplied with a UK V5c, an MoT until 25th April 2016, original driver's manuals and now reading 87,000 miles on the odometer, this car is presented beautifully and has a lovely patinated beige interior. With only 801 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2's built between 1968 to 1970, and only 52 being right-hand drive, this car offers the opportunity to own a very rare and exclusive front-engined V12 Ferrari.

The 356 is acknowledged as Porsche's first venture into production, and was a lightweight and nimble rear engined, rear-wheel-drive, 2-door sporting car available in hardtop coupe and open configurations. Engineering and design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and its popularity as a road car. The model was created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche (son of Dr. Ing. Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the company), based on an original design by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda, and initially its mechanicals (including engine, suspension and chassis) were derived from the basic Volkswagen Beetle, a product of his Father's fertile imagination. Porsche continued to develop and refine the 356 with a focus on performance, and by the late 1950s fewer parts were shared with its pedestrian cousin, and increasing success in competition and its availability worldwide resulted in the distinctive little car, in all its iterations, finding over 76,000 homes between 1948 and 1966. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector's car. This beautiful 1960, LHD matching numbers example (confirmed by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity), was initially registered in California to a lady, who was the first of, we believe, four owners. After six years, it passed to its second keeper who owned the car for over fourty years with the last twenty being in storage. The Porsche continued to enjoy the sunshine, as its third owner lived in Texas which is where it was found by the current owner who moved it to Florida and used it frequently at his holiday home before deciding to bring the car back to the UK. Our vendor is an enthusiastic collector of some wonderful classics, and although, when the 356 arrived back in the UK it was found to be absolutely sound, he made the decision to fully restore the car. The talented team at XK Engineering in Coventry are currently working on some other cars in the vendor's collection, and whilst known primarily for their work on classic Jaguars they have the knowledge and skills to work on any marque and have developed some innovative painting techniques, so were entrusted with the extensive restoration of this little Porsche. The engine was removed and carefully inspected with parts being replaced where required, and the brakes, suspension and all related mechanicals were dealt with in a similar fashion being replaced, repaired or restored. The bodyshell was taken back to bare metal, professionally prepared, painted and polished, all the brightwork re-plated and the car was then carefully re-trimmed in period style resulting in a car that would look at home on a show stand. XK Engineering then spent some time setting the car up and we are advised that it runs well and drives superbly. Completed just a matter of weeks before the auction, the vendor confirms he is absolutely delighted with the car but, as those of us that are keen on Classic Cars know too well, there is always another project around the corner and he has decided that his little red Porsche deserves a new home. Finished in Ruby Red with a contrasting black leather interior, this tantalising Porsche T5 Coupe displays an indicated mileage of 58,000, and although unwarranted, the vendor believes it to be genuine. Immediately prior to the sale, the car will be MoT'd and is supplied with a V5C and the aforementioned Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. A great chance to acquire an exceptional and desirable Porsche 356, in fabulous condition, still gleaming from restoration.

Since 1938, the Rivolta name has been synonymous with design excellence and beautiful styling, from the late 1940s and 1950s when Renzo Rivolta Snr. introduced stylish motor scooters and energy-efficient automobiles to post-war Italy, through to the production of the stunning sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s. In short, the Rivolta story blended American reliability with Italian design and international elegance. It is these 1960's cars that provide expression of the ideals and standards of the first Renzo Rivolta, who believed that innovation, beauty, and reliability could be combined in products of lasting value. The new Iso prototype 'Grifo A3/L' was revealed at the Turin show in 1963 to overwhelming approval. First production Iso Grifo's followed and all used reassembled and blueprinted Chevrolet Corvette 5.4 litre engines until a 7.0 litre option was introduced in 1968. The larger engined cars were distinguished by some detail modifications, such as a "subtle" bonnet scoop, necessary to accommodate the taller engine and a black band across the rear roof pillar. 322 Series I Grifos were produced before the design received a facelift in 1972 after which time a further 78 (Series II) Grifo's were built. In total 90 Grifos were specified in seven-litre form, with only four being built in right-hand drive. We are informed by the vendor that this particular Iso Grifo featured on the stand at the 1968 Earls Court Show, and is one of the four right-hand drive, super-rare, seven litre Grifos built. Owned for 28 years by the same fastidious owner who is also regarded as a UK authority on Iso and Bizzarrini cars, this particular car is naturally well published and its history very well documented. Worth mentioning is an invoice from Bill McGrath Maserati for £85,000 in 2008 relating to a windows-out repaint and additional detail work as instructed by the vendor, who is patently very particular when it comes to his prized Grifo. Power comes from Chevrolet in the form of a 454 cubic inch V8 and respected V8 Specialists 'Knight Racing' who completed the engine rebuild recorded dynamometer results of 490bhp at 5,500rpm. The engine is mated to a modern Tremec TKO600 five-speed gearbox capable of handling this mighty power house. Considerable care and expense has been invested into the manufacture of a stainless steel exhaust system which, although of bigger bore, is true to the subtle profile lines of the original and rumbles with a suitable throb and growl. The vendor reports that the V8 normally starts first time, soon settles to an even idle, the car pulls beautifully throughout the rev range and the horizon often arrives a little quicker than anticipated. He tells us that the suspension feels taut, the gear change selects easily and the brakes pull the car up quickly and without drama. The red bodywork is exquisite, with immaculate fit and finish, the black leather interior is entirely original and beautifully patinated and the wheels are Campagnolo Elektron with the correct magnesium alloy centre spinners. High profile awards for the car, include a First in Class trophy for 'Best of Both Worlds' in the Cartier Style et Luxe at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2004. With a current speedometer reading of 72,000 miles, a new MOT and a substantial history file, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most powerful, rare and inspiring sporting GTs ever built.

Produced between 1985 and 1989, the 328 was the successor to the 308 and was available as a coupe (GTB) or a Targa Top (GTS). It featured the transverse V8 from the 308, albeit now in 3.2 form, with 4 valves per cylinder, a five-speed gearbox and 275 bhp on tap. This resulted in 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of over 166mph. This car is an original right-hand drive 1989 model, supplied new to Australia and as such does not have ABS, but the owner has recently upgraded the Catalytic Converter and today it has only covered an amazing 1,660 miles from new. Finished in traditional Rosso Corsa with Cream Leather upholstery, it was purchased by our vendor over 10 years ago from the sale of Mohamed Al-Fayed's private collection, the former owner of Harrods Department store in Knightsbridge, London, being a well-known classic and modern car collector, and this car formed part of a significant collection sold by him in the mid-2000s. Stored in a Car Carcoon during our vendors' entire ownership, it has hardly been used during the last decade and was sent to highly respected Ferrari Specialist, Terry Keys, on the 22-6-2015 to be carefully re-commissioned, fully serviced and a new MoT carried out in time for our Sale. We are happy to organise an independent inspection/report of the car's condition from Terry, by special arrangement. Please call the office for details. This model is now recognised by the collector and investor market as a sound future investment. This very low mileage car, with known provenance and history, represents an excellent and rare opportunity to capitalise on Ferrari and it's heritage in a car that is still fabulous to drive today.

1960 Merceded-Benz 220SE Ponton Cabriolet

Lot # 240 (Sale Order: 56 of 78)

The term "Ponton" (meaning Pontoon shaped) is actually a stylistic description of a modern vehicle body, and is commonly thought to be post-war, but was frequently used as a colloquial description of some early Bugatti models, particularly the Type 32. The term came into daily usage when it was applied to a number of Mercedes-Benz models produced from the mid-fifties until the early 60s. However it is the W180, and particularly the elegant W180 Cabriolet that people normally envisage when the word is mentioned. The 1960 22SE Cabriolet was the last in the line of the "Ponton" models and in SE form introduced an early form of Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Only 26 were made in right hand drive Cabriolet form, so consequently they are very rare. The owner of this car has a significant collection of post-war Bentleys, Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz amongst notable others and is known to be meticulous in his approach to restoration projects. Although much of his Mercedes work was previously carried out in Germany, he was advised by a number of people whose standards he respected to contact Thornley Kelham from Cirencester, and after a visit to their premises, the restoration of this characterful 50's Mercedes "Ponton" was entrusted to them. Thornley Kelham as a company are relatively new in the classic car business, although the team have decades of experience in this field, and they have very quickly moved to the top of the tables when it comes to reputation and standards. They are here at Salon Prive today, and would be happy to talk to you about future projects. Our vendor's brief to TK was quite clear. He wanted a complete restoration of the car with various upgrades including sound proofing, air conditioning and a music system. After a little deliberation and some serious engineering considerations, the decision was also taken to convert the original column change to a modern six-speed BMW box with a floor change to make this a touring car beyond comparison. The body was completely stripped, dipped, and assessed to be worse in the hindquarters than originally anticipated. Two new outer and inner rear wings, various sections to remake the rear underside and sections of the boot floor, plus one new front wing were ordered from ‘pattern' panels before the painstaking task of making them all correctly fit would begin. Only by carefully offering up the replacement panels throughout the job could perfectly even panel gaps achieved. Before painting, all opening panels were fitted with their locks and seals to be tested, before dismantling once more and passing to the in-house TK paint shop for that team of skilled craftsman to ply their trade. The paint has been applied expertly in meticulous detail, the result of which is the most beautiful combination of what can best be described as Cream over Chocolate... The steering components have been completely overhauled or replaced as necessary, with new dampers and track rod end joints. The steering box has been stripped and all bearings replaced, bushes manufactured and the whole unit painted. A 6-speed BMW transmission was modified to fit which necessitated manufacturing an intermediate plate to mate the gearbox to the engine. Other significant engineering feats, which this car can boast in spades, was the installation of the ice-cold air conditioning unit. This required the skillful replacement of the dynamo by a dynator and the siting of the air conditioning compressor beneath this so as not to make the engine unsightly. By placing the fans engine side of the bulkhead this allows air to be drawn from the cabin making for an incredibly efficient system with discreet and tasteful outlets located in the passenger cabin. The engine of this very capable tourer has been completely rebuilt including a reground crank, new bearings and pistons, the head skimmed and a full set of new valves fitted. New seals and gaskets are also fitted throughout. The rear axle had the same treatment, including new bearings, seals and gaskets throughout, naturally. To make sure the car stops as well as it goes, the braking system was completely restored with new drums and linings, rebuilt wheel cylinders and a new servo all linked together with new brake pipes. This Mercedes is shod with new Mercedes wheels and trims that are 1" taller then standard to help achieve a relaxed and quiet cruising experience when coupled with the 6-speed transmission. The larger wheels necessitated a re-profiled boot floor to accommodate a larger spare wheel, but as with all these unusual challenges, Thornley Kelham would arrive at a professional engineering solution. The interior of this car is a masterful touch. The wood is handsome and unblemished, whilst the seats were salvaged from the originals with the seamless letting-in of several panels of new leather in a matching grain before full re-colouring to a shade which expertly complements the tasteful exterior colours.

1993 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6

When Porsche first introduced their 964 Turbo in 1990, they had yet to develop a turbocharged version of the 3.6 litre M64 engine and were forced to build the early cars with the old, 3.3 litre 930 Turbo engine which produced a healthy 320bhp but suffered badly from turbo lag. They finally released the infinitely improved 3.6 964 Turbo engine in Jan '93 with an increased output of 360 bhp but, more importantly, the new design had finally cured the turbo lag problem once and for all. They only produced 1500 versions of this revised model worldwide and only 31 examples were sold new in the UK. This Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 was supplied new to the Pendragon Motor Group in Cardiff on the 1st of August 1993. The original service wallet, along with the under-bonnet sticker, confirm the car was sold new as a ‘C16’ UK car and was finished in the special order colour of Amazon Green Pearl Effect. Additional factory options included: sports seats, top-tinted windscreen and a sun roof. In right and left-hand drive form, these cars are now changing hands at well over £200,000 as the market finally recognises their performance, build quality and rarity. Supplied with its original service book, tools, jack and leather wallet, the service history substantiates a total mileage of 77,725, with stamps from both specialists and Porsche main agents. In 2013, this 964 underwent an extensive re-commissioning with respected Porsche specialists Booklands of Kent. This included a full mechanical and aesthetic brief to get the car in the finest possible condition. A full breakdown of all the work completed can be found in the history file along with the relevant bills and receipts. Offered from a significant private collection, this 964 Turbo is presented in superb order and has clearly been the subject of substantial investment over the years.

1979 Ferrari 512 BB

The Ferrari 512 BB was the second generation of the 365 GT4 BB to have the 12 cylinder boxer engine. Enzo Ferrari, contrary to his engineer's wishes, had delayed the introduction of a mid-engine car, doubting the ability of his customer base to handle this configuration. The capacity was increased to nearly five litres and a dry sump fitted, then with suspension changes and various modifications Ferrari was back at number one in the supercar pecking order. The competence of the 512 BB was re-iterated by the world's motoring press as many of them proclaimed this Ferrari as the best all round Sports GT of the day in 1976. This original UK right-hand drive 1979 Ferrari 512 BB, was delivered new to Maltin Car Concessionaires Limited of Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire on 4th July 1979. The earliest documents in the history file show the Ferrari Modena Warranty Card, signed by Innes Ireland, and the very first service stamp shows that work was carried out on 19thSeptember 1979. The first owner was a Mr George Williams of Norfolk, who registered the car in his company name. Despite a number of keeper changes from the company to Mr Williams, the car remained in his possession until 1995, when it was purchased by Serruys Property Company and shortly after moved to a dealer called David Wainwright of Leicestershire. He sold the car to Peter Harris Limited in 1997 and a large amount of work was carried out on the Boxer at this time. This 512 BB then found its was to a Mr Jeremy Holmes of Dinas Powys, Wales via Talacrest in January 2001. He had some work carried out by Bob Houghton in 2004, which included an engine inspection, cambelts, clutch, replacement of gaskets and a suspension rebuild. Between 2005 and 2014 the car was taken off the road with the intention of undertaking a full restoration, however, the project was never completed. In January 2015, chassis number 27863 was delivered to marque experts, Foskers Engineering in Kent for restorative works. Most amazingly, at this time the odometer reading was only 15,660 miles and based on a large number of previous MoT certificates and service stamps, we believe this mileage to be genuine. Recent work has included a full strip to bare metal and repaint in the original colour of Azzurro Blue. The blue over cream interior is original and has been Connolised, and the car will be fully serviced with a cambelt change prior to coming to the auction. Other than the superb overall condition, one of the most important aspects of this vehicle is the fantastic history file. There is a vast array of original documentation, from early correspondence, service invoices and old MoT certificates. In addition, the original service book, manuals, sales paraphernalia and tool kit are also supplied. This collection of documents is a fantastic record of the life of this Ferrari and we urge all potential buyers to come and take the time to inspect the file carefully. A Foskers condition report will be made available at the auction and we welcome independent inspections prior to the sale. A mere 929 512 BB models were manufactured between 1976 and 1981, of which only 101 were in right-hand drive form. Chassis number 27863 represents an unrepeatable opportunity to invest in a highly collectable, restored Ferrari that boasts both low-mileage and an impeccable history.

1957 Aston Martin DB2/4 MkII Saloon

Here we have one of the finest examples of the much revered Aston Martin DB2/4, which has recently benefitted from a complete and thorough restoration in 2012 before competing in the fabled Mille Miglia in 2013. We have known of this car for more than 12 months, during which time we've gently prodded and coerced the fastidious owner into letting us present this fine example to the market, while he concentrates on other cars in his collection. Supplied new to Knowsley Cast Metal Co Ltd, Manchester, in May 1957, the car's original colour scheme is recorded as Deep Carriage Green with beige trim, as it proudly sports today. This Aston Martin has been known to Four Ashes Garage for much of its life and has become well known by Aston Service Dorset in recent years too. During his privileged ownership, our vendor has shown his Aston Martin at many prestigious events up and down the country, receiving a Salon Privé Lime Avenue award shortly after he acquired the car in 2013 for "The car you would most like to drive home" and entering the car in the SP Concours in 2014 where it fared admirably amongst the SWB Ferraris and DB5s in its class. Furthermore, this car has been shown on the Motorsport Magazine stand at the 2013 Silverstone Classic Show, at Motorsport Magazine's select barbeque evening with Sir Stirling Moss at London's Hurlingham Club and at the 2013 Regent Street Motor Show, and is always much admired. Chassis AM300/1202 was sold by Bonhams in December 2010, at which time the car sported non-original Dubonnet Rosso coachwork and carried the caveat that in light of the fact that the car had not run in 12 months, "gentle re-commissioning" before road use was recommended. Well, as the buyer at auction that day will no doubt attest, "gentle" played no part in the restoration which was about to commence. The car was purchased by Franz Wittner, a well-known Austrian enthusiast and dealer, who set about an immediate and thorough restoration of the bodywork and engine of the car, returning the coachwork to its original Deep Carriage Green and tuning the engine with the focus on long distance touring and reliability rallies. Three large binders of the photographic restoration accompany the vehicle. The resulting car is really exceptional with a sympathetic nod to originality from the interior trim, but looks an absolute treat as it did at the 2012 Ennstal Classic Alpine Rallye when Sir Stirling Moss drove the car (alongside his co-pilot wife Susie) and his signature adorns the dashboard. This is verified by photographs and a signed letter to the owner within the history file that reads:- Dear XXXX, Thank you for your letter regarding your Aston Martin DB2/4 LJA 287. Susie and I vividly remember driving the car in the 2012 Ennstal Classic. It is an event we both enjoy and we have it in our diaries to attend every year. We are pleased to hear that the car has recently completed the Mille Miglia. It is a testament to these cars and their drivers that they are still used competitively, if somewhat more sedately than my efforts in 1955. Please find your photographs enclosed which I have signed with pleasure. All the best. Sir Stirling Moss O.B.E Our vendor purchased ‘LJA 287' in March 2013, but did not take delivery of the car until June 2013, allowing Franz Wittner and his business partner, Tom Miller, to successfully complete the 2013 Mille Miglia, the car carrying the sporting roundels #396 that it still proudly wears today. The car behaved impeccably on the Mille and finished 165th in its class out of 422 competitors. Franz told our vendor that this was due to him taking it easy, as he had already sold the car, a likely story! During his ownership, the Aston has been maintained exclusively by Aston Martin Dorset, and through them, D. Wood Motorsport who operate independently from their premises. In June 2014 D.Wood attended to the rear suspension, removed the back axle, fettled the brakes and replaced all as new for the sum of £6,000. In April 2015, the same company completed a carburetor and fuel system overhaul replacing the throttle cable and dismantling and rebuilding the carburetors to ensures smooth running, these works totaling more than £4,000. In November 2013, to comply with many of the Concours events planned for the 2014 season, a FIVA identity card was applied for and granted. The MOT expired in June, and, although not legally required, a new one will be issued prior to sale. Offered for sale with a host of interesting and important documentation, literally hundreds of photographs of the restoration and even images of Sir Stirling Moss in his office signing pictures of the car, this is in our opinion an opportunity not to be missed for a still somewhat under-valued ‘DB' Aston Martin that will undoubtedly engender huge pride of ownership.

Based on the original 'Carrera Cup' 911 race car, Porsche introduced the now legendary and super lightweight 'Carrera RS' in 1992 to great avail. The specially constructed 3.6-litre engine gave 264bhp and was matched to a G50 close ratio gearbox with steel synchromesh and a limited slip differential as standard. Following the original 2.7 RS theme of the 1970's, the stripped out interior was devoid of rear seats, electric windows, air conditioning, all sound deadening and a stereo system. The chassis was seam welded and the front bonnet was made of aluminium which, when combined with thinner glass, magnesium wheels, lowered and uprated suspension, Turbo front brakes and recalibrated AB made for a very high performance and specialised car indeed. This rare left hand drive RS 'Touring' (one of only 74 Touring spec cars built by the factory) was built in 1992 for the Italian market and has since covered 88,500kms, the equivalent of 55,000 miles. Copies of documented receipts and invoices for servicing work totaling 13 in all from 1999 to 2008 and granted by both mainland Europe and UK specialists accompany this amazing Porsche, but regrettably the original leather bound book pack and manuals have been mislaid. Within the past two years this car has been repainted in its original Signal Red and benefits from 4 new Bridgestone tyres which have likely travelled fewer than 5000kms. It further boasts its original magnesium wheels and original aluminium bonnet with a factory sticker to the underside. The grey and black sports seats and interior trim including the dashboard are very original and largely unmarked. It is now sold as a breathtaking piece of Porsche history and is ready for use. With the appetite for classic Porsche growing daily, we feel this car represents a rare and appreciating opportunity in the today's market place.

Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of stylish Pininfarina lines and front mounted 12-cylinder engine meant this car had the potential to become an instant classic, following in the footsteps of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona'. With modern styling cues, a 5.5 litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a serious motor car. A less frenetic power delivery, the six speed manual box and excellent weight distribution were all factors in the 550 becoming the perfect european Grand Tourer. Offered here, is a UK supplied RHD Ferrari 550 Maranello finished in Argento Nurburgring with Bordeaux Red leather, red carpets and black dashboard.

Front engined V12 manual Ferraris continue to have the renaissance they richly deserve, and this beautiful 550 Maranello opens the door into a very exclusive club filled with these glorious sounding Grand Tourers with, we believe, excellent investment potential.

1960 Aston Martin DB4 Series II Saloon

The Aston Martin DB4 was unveiled at the London Motor Show in 1958 and this was the start of, what was to become, a very successful period for the good folks at Newport Pagnell as the popular DB4 was replaced by the equally popular DB5 and then the, almost production line, DB6. All featured elegant coachwork designed by Touring of Milan, and the handmade aluminium bodywork panels were mounted on a steel tube frame, using the Superleggera (meaning super light) method of construction. Fitted with all-round drum brakes, firstly by Dunlop then later by Girling, DB4s were powered by an all new six cylinder aluminium twin overhead camshaft, 3670cc engine, designed by Tadek Marek and developing around 240bhp at 5500rpm. Claimed performance was a reputed top speed of 140mph and 0-60 in 8.5 seconds when coupled to the new gearbox designed by Aston Martin's owner, David Brown. Of all the post-war Aston Martins, the iconic DB4 remains one of the most admired and recognisable shapes of all time and the blueprint for it's successors, the DB5 and DB6. Chassis number DB4/361/R was purchased new by Sir Robertson Huntley "Bob" Stewart CBE, a New Zealand industrialist. In 1947 he secured a job working for Plastics & Die Casting Ltd based in Christchurch, and by 1957 he was able to buy the company outright, later renaming it PDL and becoming the most successful plastics business in New Zealand. In 1960, Sir Robertson purchased this DB4 Series II and drove it for 6 months on a tour of Europe, before returning to his native country with the car, where it remained until late 2014. Included in the history file are various newspaper articles documenting its arrival in New Zealand where it must have been quite a sight. The engine was upgraded to Vantage specification to include three HD8 SU carburettors as opposed to the standard twin version, boosting the power output to 270bhp in the process. At the same time the drum brakes were also changed to discs. A comprehensive history file accompanies the car and includes a copy of the original factory build sheet. This car has been NOVA'd and all UK taxes and import duties paid, so any prospective UK buyer will need to register it with the DVLA to obtain a UK V5C and registration. The car has an MoT test certificate until August 2016. Presented in Peony Red, it is thought that the seats were retrimmed some 20 years ago and they still look very respectable today with a light patina. The odometer currently reads, a believed genuine, 84,120miles. Not to be overlooked, Chassis DB4/361/R offers an exciting opportunity to own a fantastic DB4 Series II that would be welcome in any classic car collection today.

In May 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 goal was to increase engine output by around 40bhp, but that was 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 unleashing 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 they were 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. A total of just 86 cars were produced, of which only a handful are believed to have been destined for the United Kingdom.This is a very rare car, as recognised by Porsche in 2011 as the “1992 Turbo S Leichtbau” was one of very few models to go on display as part of “25 Years of Porsche Exclusive” held at their museum in Stuttgart. This right hand drive example, chassis 74, was delivered to its first and current owner and registered during March 1993. Finished in a special order body colour of Electric Blue Metallic with a black leather interior, the car exudes purpose. Having covered just c.23,000 miles since new, this stunning racer-for-the-road is in commensurably fine condition throughout and features the optional extra of air conditioning, together with power assisted steering – a standard fitment on all RHD cars presumably as the good folk at Porsche felt that we in the UK needed something a little more comfortable. Ready to electrify its new lucky owner, it comes with a Swansea V5C, a current MoT certificate, comprehensive service history and all the original correspondence between the owner and AFN Isleworth detailing the paint, build and original bill of sale.

1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series 1 FHC

Lot # 248 (Sale Order: 64 of 78)

Make: JaguarYear: 1965Registration: SWC 455DChassis Number: 1E 21141Engine Number: 7E7171-9Engine - Displacement: 4235ccTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 55000-65000

Introduced in 3.8 litre form in May 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a major sensation when it first appeared, with classic smooth lines, great looks and an amazing, at the time,top speed of 150 MPH. With 265 bhp and a huge weight saving of over 500lbs on its immediate predecessor (the XK 150), William Lyons had created one of the all-time most beautiful cars ever to be produced by Jaguar. The first evolution was the introduction of the 4.2 litre engine, fully synchronised gearbox and greater legroom to accommodate six foot plus drivers. This is often regarded as the ultimate driving E-type, and even now a well sorted example is a sensational driving experience with a sense of occasion that's hard to replicate at any price in a classic car. Offered here is a 1965 manufactured Jaguar 4.2 FHC, that was despatched from the factory at Browns Lane to their nearest dealer, S.H. Newsome of Coventry. Originally finished in Primrose Yellow, the first owner was C.J. Bee & Co. and the history file shows that it has had only three owners prior to our vendor. It seems that the cylinder block was replaced early in its life but with the correct 7E engine number sequence. The car also sports a later Series II bonnet which we consider to have been a replacement, as the earlier production date precludes it being a Series 1.5. The history file also contains evidence of work carried out by renowned experts Eagle E-types whose ability to set these cars up correctly is legendary and which may well account for the fact that this car appears professionally engineered and drives so well. Sitting squarely on a set of new Dunlop Sport tyres, this super E-Type will have a full MoT prior to the sale. In a somewhat confused market, this E-type ticks the important boxes as an original UK, right hand drive, well sorted example and we believe is guided sensibly.

2010 Porsche 997 GT2 RS

The prospect of combining the most powerful turbo engine in their range at the time with a manual gearbox, and mounting them in a rear-wheel drive lightweight 911 was the inspiration for the rather special, GT2. Simultaneously Porsche would upgrade and modify the suspension and brakes, increase the engine output and extensively lighten the car, to create the ultimate driver's version of the current model at that point. This recipe has been used, to great effect, with the 993, 996 and 997 versions of their iconic 911. This car is the 997 GT2 RS version which was introduced in May 2010, and is one of just 500 produced worldwide. The 3.6 litre engine uses twin variable-geometry water cooled turbochargers to produce a serious 620bhp and 516 lbs feet of torque through a six-speed manual transmission, leading to a maximum speed in excess of 205mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.4 seconds! In simple terms, it is the most powerful, road legal 911 ever manufactured. Stopping power, with big Porsche Composite Ceramic Brakes, is equally impressive. Supplied new in 2010 by Porsche Centre Reading, this C16 GT2 RS is 1 of only 16 cars supplied to the UK and was specified with the 'Black and Red Club Sport' package. Additional factory options included: full Porsche satellite navigation, an iPod dock, tyre pressure monitor, grey tinted windows, a full Chrono plus package, five-point seat belts, electric windows and air conditioning. A little over 2,000 miles have been covered since new, and as one might expect, this Porsche is presented in superb condition. Externally, the 911 GT2 RS stands out clearly from the other 911 models through the lavish use of carbon-fibre reinforced components with a matt black surface finish. The interior of the 911 GT2 RS also exudes sporting intent in virtually every detail. Lightweight two-piece bucket seats made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, are standard, as are lightweight door panels with fabric straps instead of traditional door handles. The basic interior colour is black, which contrasts dramatically with red elements, such as the seat centre sections, the roof lining and segments of the steering wheel rim. The gear lever and handbrake are also finished in red Alcantara. This low mileage example was purchased by its current owner from respected Porsche specialists JZM, and has only one former registered keeper. The car has just been serviced by JZM, and is ready to be used and enjoyed. In addition, the ECU data from the car is exemplary and shows no signs of misuse or over revs. The current owner has never used his prized Porsche on a track, and it has always been correctly stored whilst in his care. This GT2RS represents a rare opportunity to experience the ultimate version of the Porsche 911, and crucially for the purists out there, one that is mated to a manual gearbox. It is also the fastest production 911 to ever lap the Nurburgring at 7 minutes and 18 seconds, and offers incredible levels of performance. Driving the RS really quickly requires total concentration, however conversely, at lower speeds it's docile and temperament free and is completely at home cruising around town in classic 911 style.

1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Convertible

Lot # 250 (Sale Order: 66 of 78)

Make: Rolls-RoyceYear: 1964Registration: TBAChassis Number: SGT89Engine - Displacement: 6200ccTransmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate - Range: 240000-260000

The Silver Cloud was introduced in 1955 and was, with its later iterations the Cloud II and III, to prove the core of Rolls-Royce production until the arrival of the monocoque Silver Shadow in 1966. Construction of all Cloud models was body-on-frame, which allowed a number of creative coach-builders to work their magic, but over the course of its eleven years of production the vast majority were built with the standard Pressed Steel shell. The Silver Cloud III was the final version and deliveries to customers commenced in mid 1963. External dimensions were slightly altered with a one and a half inch reduction in grille height and by necessity, a slightly more sloping bonnet, but the most distinctive difference was the grouping of the headlights in a four headlamp unit which was sufficiently attractive to be carried over to the new Shadow. The car's weight was reduced by over 100kg, and performance was improved by fitting 2inch SU carburettors and increasing the compression ratio to 9:1. One of the respected coach-builders who created something different on the Cloud III chassis was H.J.Mulliner (later Mulliner Park Ward), who offered a supremely elegant two door Drophead Coupe. These cars are now very sought after and few and far between. What we have here today is a wonderful Roll-Royce Cloud III. Our vendor is Byrnes Motor Trust Restorations and their matriarch, James Byrnes is a well known figure in the classic car world in Australia, USA, the UK and Asia. The company already owns two original Cloud factory adaptations (now fully restored) and the purchase of these was to allow BMT to reverse engineer these elegant Rolls-Royce Convertibles, stripping them down completely and observing and recording every detail, and in addition BMT obtained copies of all the original build specifications and the relevant processes involved. The object of this whole operation was to enable the massively experienced team at BMT to build convertible Rolls-Royce Clouds from scratch in exactly the same way and with the same care that was used 50 years ago. Thereafter BMT invested heavily in developing tooling to press out new panels and arranged the fabrication of parts like the window frames in the original brass then plated them exactly in the same manner as it would have been carried out by Mulliner at the time. There are a number of cars going through this process now and they are all original cars, stripped of every last nut and bolt and reassembled from the ground up as a Convertible. The team at BMT believe that their cars are the equal in terms of quality to anything coming of the Mulliner production line in the 60s. What we have here effectively, is a brand new Rolls-Royce delivered 50 years late. Fresh from a complete restoration during which every component was removed from the chassis and repaired, restored or replaced, the engine and suspension rebuilt with no expense spared and the car reassembled to a showroom standard. The car is superbly finished in a deep Mason Black and is trimmed in superb red hide with red carpets, and an expanse of Burr Walnut covers the dashboard, door cappings and occasional tables. The hood is electrically operated and formed from lined mohair, and when it's fully open, the outline of the car is maintained by a cover that fits neatly over the top and is held in place by a number of fasteners. The engine bay and under bonnet panels are painted a gloss deep cream, and the view is of a gleaming amalgam of gloss black, chrome and polished steel. Naturally, there is a very large photographic record of all the work carried out. There can be few more stylish ways to arrive anywhere than in an early Rolls-Royce convertible, and at this guide price, in this condition, this stunning Silver Cloud III makes a lot of sense.

Introduced 2 years ago at the Geneva Motor Show and launched early in 2014, the Wraith is a four seater, two door Coupe, based on the chassis of the Rolls-Royce Ghost. The Wraith is fitted with the new ZF 8 speed gearbox, which broke new technological ground at the time as it had the ability to read the road ahead and select lower ratios for hills and steep bends. The 6.6 litre, twin turbo engine has an output of 623bhp, which is 'more than adequate' for 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 186mph.

The Jaguar E-Type is a British automobile legend that was manufactured by Jaguar between 1961 and 1975. Its success was due to a combination of stunning looks, high performance and competitive pricing - the equivalent Ferrari of the day cost three times more and delivered less horsepower. The derivative offered here is the final execution of the fabled ‘E', the Series III with a V12 powerplant that delivers the most thrilling drive when mated to the five-speed manual gearbox as is the case here. Having travelled fewer than 20,000 miles from new and offered in largely unmolested condition, this is a rare treat. Mix-in to the equation its sublime original colour scheme of Azure Blue with a contrasting Cinnamon leather interior and we're hooked! Sold new in May 1974 to Trutite Fasteners Ltd of Stourport-on-Severn, this coveted E-Type travelled 14,000 miles before passing to Northern Irishman and popular veteran racer, Tommy D. Reid in June 1976. Tommy was a racing car collector who started in Formula Junior and raced and hill climbed sports cars extensively in Ireland. He kept ‘BNP 33M' until 2008 being largely home maintained but little used amassing just 4,000miles in his ownership from 1976 to 2009 when it was sold to UK & Irish Jaguar specialist dealer, Robert Hughes. A full pre-sale inspection by highly respected engineer K.J.C Bell was undertaken in May 2009, Ken Bell being the Technical Adviser for Jaguar Enthusiasts Club and International Technical Adviser on all pre 1984 Jaguar cars, and he concluded that the mileage was likely indeed genuine. On acquisition in 2009, Robert Hughes conducted a full bare-metal repaint to a high standard with photographic evidence amongst the substantial history file, and this was only carried out because of mild fading and a few chips. Upon completion, and still retaining its original Cinnamon interior and carpets, the car was sold to our vendor, a fastidious collector who in turn has used the car lightly for fewer than 1,500 miles yet kept it well maintained by Jaguar specialists, E-Type UK. in Kent. Service records for this special V12 include Robert Hughes in April 2009 at 18,069 miles upon sale to our vendor, before E-Type UK in April 2011 at 18,974 miles, again in May 2012 at 19,095 miles, again in May 2013 at 19,158 miles and once more for a full service, replacement discs and pads, plus an MOT in May 2014 at 19,386 miles. Immediately prior to cataloguing, this coveted car was presented once more to E-Type UK for an annual service at just 19,420miles and is offered with a current MOT valid until May 2016. This special E-Type is offered with a very extensive history file including all the original owners manuals, book pouch, two sets of keys, some MOTs, and photographic evidence of the car's repaint in 2009. Not to be missed....

1995 Ferrari 456 GT Manual

The Ferrari 456 is a front-engined Grand Tourer in the true tradition. It was an overdue replacement for the, by then, creaking old front-engined 412 which had been the company's premium 4-seat V12 car for years, and the new car's sleek lines and excellent pedigree secured a warm reception from the motoring community, and deservedly so. In our opinion, the Ferrari 456 is a capable, powerful, and frankly, totally undervalued sports car with the a greater appetite for long-distance touring than any other we can name. Being finished in the distinctive combination of Black, with a Black interior, this left-hand drive Ferrari appears ‘fresh' and modern despite being due to celebrate its 20th birthday reasonably soon. From order and manufacture, this Ferrari was destined for the Gulf, indicated by the red intake manifolds but was intercepted by a wealthy businessman from Metz in France who owned and operated theme parks. In 2007 some twelve years into his ownership of this Ferrari, his business fell into difficulty and this car was sold relatively quickly to Germany before it could be seized if his business became bankrupt. The German gentleman who bought it has kept it until today with records of any servicing work during his ownership, but sadly none prior, the latest not 500kms ago included a major service with the obligatory change of cam belts. Apart from the service book the car has a full book pack, and two sets of keys accompany the car which shows a, believed genuine, 50,000kms. Fitted with a manual gearbox, always considered preferable in a 456, this Ferrari has four brand-new tyres, is accident-free and presents in very good all round order, particularly the interior which has stood up well with very little sign of age and use. Everything in the car works as you would expect, and this elegant, four seat Ferrari drives exceptionally well. We believe that the 456 still offers the greatest value for money in Ferraris from the last 30 years, and with the manual gearbox is a fine sports car. Almost impossible to beat at this price level, what's not to like?

Styled by Peruvian born Belgian, Luc Donckerwolke, Lamborghini's head of design from 1998 to 2005, the Lamborghini Murciélago was built between 2001 and 2010. Successor to the Diablo and the flagship of the Lamborghini's lineup, the Murciélago was introduced as a coupé in 2001. It was Lamboghini's first new design in eleven years, and was also the brand's first new model under the ownership of German parent company Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen. The Murciélago is an all-wheel drive, mid-engined super-sports car with an angular design and an exceptionally low slung body, the highest point of the roof being just under 4 feet above the ground. Amongst the vehicle's many distinguishing features are its scissor doors, which add to the dramatic presence of this "what am I looking at, is it a Spaceship?" piece of Italian Automotive Art. The First-generation Murciélagos, produced between 2001 and 2006, were powered by a Lamborghini V12 that traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. The V12 engine produced 572 hp, and powered the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds. The rear differential is integrated with the engine itself, with a viscous coupling centre differential providing drive to the front wheels. The Murciélago suspension uses an independent double-wishbone design, and bodywork features carbon fibre, steel and aluminum parts. The rear spoiler and the active air intakes integrated into the car's shoulders are electro-mechanically controlled, deploying automatically only at high speeds, in an effort to maximize both aerodynamic and cooling efficiency. This fantastic example was supplied by Lamborghini Geneva, 02/04/2005, and is finished in, surely the best colour combination for a Lamborghini, Giallo with a Black Leather interior with Yellow seat inserts and detailing. The car remained in Switzerland until only recently before making its journey to the UK on the 2nd of April this year. A well maintained example, the car has recently undergone a service by marque specialists Trident Cars in July 2015. The Recorded Services for the car are as follows: 19/04/2010 - Gohm GMBH Ferrari, Baden - 24406km 20/07/2012 - Lamborghini St Gallen - 32772km 07/08/2013 - Lamborghini St Gallen - 35344km 15/07/2015 - Trident Cars, Essex - 38194km A change of plans now means that this striking example is available once again.

In excellent condition both inside and outside this car is sure to stand out from the crowd this summer and provide exhilarating top down motoring.

The XKSS was produced following the decision made by Jaguar to pull out of all motorsport at the end of 1955. Sir William Lyons converted their 16 remaining 'D-Types' to road going specification for the American market, by adding a passenger door, a full-width windscreen and wipers, an exhaust heat shield, side-screens, a folding roof, bumpers all round, a luggage rack and rear light clusters. It was to become a complete icon of the era, an outstanding and good looking car driven by the privileged few, including movie stars of the day such as Steve McQueen. Values of the original cars range from £8-£10 million today, if you can find one. Highly respected Lynx Motor Cars was founded in 1968, and quickly made its name restoring and maintaining original C-Types, D-Types and E-Types of the period. Their decision to recreate D-Types and XKSS versions based on Series II E-Type engines and running gear was a logical one, based entirely on their experience with the original cars. Since then over 430 cars have passed through their workshops, either as recreation projects or original cars being restored or maintained. They have built ten XKSS versions over the years, of which only three (including this one) have been left-hand drive. Their cars are bespoke and only made to order, making this a very special and rare opportunity. Offered here is a chance to own one of the finest XKSS recreations, built by the Lynx factory to their highest standards and specification, with over 3,000 hours of labour and total attention to detail. Based on a 1969 4.2 Series II E-Type suspension, brakes, engine and gearbox the car was completed in 2015 having been converted to full XKSS specification. It is registered as a 1969 Jaguar XKE under German Historic TUV papers and converted to XKSS specification by Lynx Motors International Ltd. LYNX MOTORS will ensure the car can be converted to other Nations registration documents and are happy to give every assistance, if required, during this process. Finished in Jaguar Gloss Black with complementing Jaguar Red leather interior the car is built on an aluminium monocoque with hand rolled aluminium panels, a rebuilt XK 4.2 litre, six cylinder wet sump engine utilising double 'fast road' specification camshafts, a ported and flowed cylinder head and triple 45 DCOE Weber carburettors:- producing 270bhp at 4,500 RPM. A Getrag five-speed box delivers all the power smoothly and having just a few test miles under its belt, comes to the sale with a 12 month Lynx warranty, from which the privileged first owner will benefit. Equipped with a full-width screen, Dunlop 16" wheels with spinners, authentic D-Type instruments and switch gear, Steve McQueen specification XKSS seat cushions and glove box hatch, a detachable steering wheel, Monza-style fuel cap, seat belts, stainless steel luggage carrier, removable side screens, black hood and authentic under bonnet detailing. What an outstanding, rare and exciting opportunity to own an iconic and truly beautiful piece of Jaguar history.

‘Lightweight, simple and striking, with a distinctive engine and exhaust sound: every last detail of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia exudes uncompromising sportiness, born of its close links to the world of racing, a world reflected in its very name,' was the line used by Ferrari when this car was launched. Michael Schumacher spent a lot of time testing the 430 Scuderia when it was being developed, carefully applying the method that made him unique on the racetrack for many years. All the ingredients were there: a light and powerful car, comfortable and ergonomic, with an incredible weight/power ratio; ground-effect aerodynamics, which makes the car more effective, at higher speeds; powerful quick-response braking guaranteed by caliper's and carbo-ceramic discs, and in particular the ‘Manettino' mounted on the steering wheel that allows the driver to adjust the car set-up according to the driver's requirements. This left-hand drive one owner 430 Scuderia was supplied new to Dubai in 2009. The car is finished in the stunning and very rare colour, Light Azzurro, with iconic silver stripes. The car has been serviced at a Ferrari Main Dealer throughout its life and has been stored in a climate controlled garage which fully confirms the care and attention the car has enjoyed from our vendor. This car has every option you could possibly want to enjoy the car to its fullest, although the vendor is keen to stress the launch control button has never been used! With the odometer now showing only 20,000 miles, we are pleased to offer this car at no reserve. Rumoured to have matched an Enzo around the Mugello circuit, this is a rare and unique opportunity to purchase a high performance Ferrari at a potentially very competitive price. Buyer's please be aware that this car is VAT qualifying.

The Ferrari F355 is a modern classic, so beautiful, so well-engineered and so well received that it marked the beginning of the end of the old-guard ‘Ferraristi' philosophy that the only "real" Ferraris were ones with 12-cylinder engines. The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and Targa GTS burst onto the world stage in the spring of 1994. It had almost exactly the same dimensions as its predecessor the 348, yet it was virtually a new car, as its stunning coachwork indicated. Many hours of wind tunnel testing influenced the harmonious shape which incorporated an F1 style flat bottom with an air flow channel that generated enough down-force to offset any lift. The longitudinally mounted 3496cc V8 had a stunning 380 horsepower at a spine tingling 8250 rpm. The gearbox now had six speeds with a new type of synchromesh that made it much easier to shift. New electronically adjustable shock absorbers varied their stiffness within milliseconds to suit the road surface. Around Ferrari's 1.86 mile Fiorano test track the 355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12 cylinder 512 TR; that level of performance combined with its sensational shape made it a worldwide success story. This particular Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, is presented in a stunning colour combination of Grigio Titanio metallic paint on Bordeaux leather interior including the door cards, top roll and matching steering wheel making the cabin a very exclusive place to be. It was delivered new in late March 1997 to its one and only registered keeper, Mr Van Laneker where it remained in his private collection for the past 18 years. It comes with the original Warranty Card, Certificat De Confrmite (birth certificate), full Ferrari service history, leather wallet and leather tool kit. It is presented in fantastic overall condition and shows just 49,979 miles equivalent. The timing belt was changed 6,836 miles ago. The service book contains stamps from the supplying Ferrari dealer, initially at just 1,201 kms, then a further four services at regular intervals since, the last at 78,500kms (48,777 miles) in August 2014 which included brakes, oil and annual service, since which time the car has travelled just 1,400kms. At the time of sale, this car will carry a fresh 12 month MOT test certificate and is accompanied by a NOVA number to aid registration wherever the new owner may choose. Guided very sensibly when compared to recent results for comparable manual gearbox F355's, this car warrants serious attention today.

The DB7 Vantage was first introduced at the Geneva motor show in 1999 with a 6 litre V12, 48 valve engine giving 420bhp and 400 lbs/ft. of torque. The car was offered by the factory either, as a manual (with Tremec T56 6 speed) or Auto (ZF 5 Speed) transmission. The Vantage was the first really quick DB7, after the original lack lustre straight six offered from launch was dropped. Both suspension and brakes were uprated on the new model and the car was extremely well received by the motoring press who praised both the significantly increased performance and the improvements in handling. Offered here, is a DB7 Vantage V12 Automatic supplied new in the UK through Lancaster of Sevenoaks. This example is finished in Aston Racing Green with a magnolia and green hide interior. The factory specification included 18" alloy wheels, cruise control, multi-CD changer and heated seats. Maintained in the hands of Aston Martin enthusiasts, the car has been used sparingly since new and is presented in lovely condition. The mileage is reading 12,850 miles and judging by the quality of presentation of the car, we believe this to be genuine. The bodywork is straight and true and the shut lines are clean and crisp. The paintwork is in very good order and has clearly never seen adverse weather conditions and retains a consistent shine. The interior is virtually unmarked and the smell of leather trim and quality materials make for a calm and comfortable cabin. The service records show the car was serviced 6 times by the supplying Aston Martin Dealer up to 2004 and has been dry-stored over the last 10 years, covering only very minimal mileage between recent MoT inspections. The car is supplied with its original service / driver's manuals, a fresh MoT certificate and will be serviced prior to the auction by main dealers Grange Brentwood Aston Martin. The DB7 Vantage was considered by many observers to be the finest evolution of the DB7 series, combining 12 cylinders with superb grand touring capabilities. We firmly believe that they offer an affordable alternative to the earlier cars, without losing any exclusivity, and represent a worthwhile long-term proposition.

1997 Porsche 911 993 Targa Manual

Lot # 259 (Sale Order: 75 of 78)

Make: PorscheModel: 911Year: 1997Estimate - Range: 45000-55000

The 993 was the last of the Porsche 911 range to feature air cooled flat six engines, and they're viewed by many aficionados as the finest 911s ever produced. The 993's handling and overall driveability were markedly better than its predecessor, a product partly of a wider track, but mainly as a result of the all alloy multi-link suspension set up, which replaced the traditional semi-trailing arms of previous iterations, and no other 911 could demonstrate such high speed cornering stability. The transmission was improved with the arrival of a six-speed manual gearbox (a first for Porsche) which not only surpassed the previous four and five-speed gearboxes in usability, but was smoother and a lot more satisfying. Mechanically, the cross-drilled brakes were larger and a dual-flow exhaust system was fitted. Externally the bodywork was revised to give a more rounded style with wider rear arches, much prettier than its successor the 996, and a shape to which Porsche returned with the 997. The Targa, introduced for the 1996 model year, changed the future of Porsche targa roof designs by having an all glass retractable surface rather than removable panels, cementing the link between improved functionality and aesthetic form demanded by buyers from the 1990s onwards. This design has the added visual benefit of a clean coupe line from the A to C pillars, unlike previous Targas which incorporated bulky roll-over protection on the B pillar to facilitate the removable panels. This particular car from August 1997, is resplendent in Ocean Blue Metallic with a lovely Classic Grey leather interior. Built and supplied to a UK specification, the car benefits from having had just three careful previous owners and the service history and documentation are remarkably comprehensive, even including the full quota of 15 MOTs. Virtually in showroom condition, the current owner has been its custodian since June 2010, and has spent £16,604 in the past few years alone ensuring the car is a really attractive investment option. Showing a warranted mileage 47,316, this Porsche was last serviced by respected marque specialist, Autofarm Porsche in July 2013 at 44,995 miles. Having travelled fewer than 2350 miles since, a simple oil change is all that will be required for the remainder of 2015. This impressive vehicle is to be sold in superb condition and above standard specification with a Tracker system, Sony removable radio, and a third brake light. Only very rarely do cars of this standard come to market. Please note the registration shown in the pictures is NOT included in the sale and a new one will be issued prior.

2013 'Works' Aston Martin Vantage GT3

In common with most other manufacturers of high powered Sports and GT cars, Aston Martin have, from time to time, dipped their toes in the world of International Motor Racing, believing that the pressure of competitive motor sport certainly brings benefits in terms of innovative engineering solutions and coincidentally, may bring a significant increase in dealership traffic. The regulations for GT3 (Cup Grand Touring Cars) were introduced by the FIA as the third rung in the ladder of GT motor sport in 2006, and were aimed at providing a formula that would, hopefully, combine cars from a number of existing national and international series, providing economies of scale for all concerned. Closely reflecting their road-going equivalents to keep maintenance costs to a minimum, GT3 specification racecars were allowed limited alterations to suspension, engine and bodywork and needed to look very similar to showroom models. By the end of 2013, 34 different models have been homologated to GT3 regs and over 20 championship series have been run to broadly equivalent rules all over the World, often eclipsing the popularity of Group A or Supertouring and confirming the initial concept as a great success. From November 2011, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 has been offered to customers as the latest in race car design, using technology gathered from the years of experience Aston Martin and Prodrive have gained since their partnership began in 2004 in the form of Aston Martin Racing (AMR). In 2013, Aston Martin set its sights on winning the most prestigious, and one of the most hotly contested races in the GT3 racing scene - the Nurburgring 24-hour race. AMR entered the first ‘works' run and maintained Vantage GT3 in the grueling race in partnership with Bilstein (Shock Absorbers)- promptly qualifying 2nd overall out of an entry of over 200 cars. Works drivers, Pedro Lamy, Darren Turner, Stefan Mucke and the late Alan Simonsen piloted the car to the overall lead during the first half of the race, setting consistent fastest times while doing so. Unfortunately, the weather played a key role in the race resulting in the car finishing just outside of the top ten, but a marker was put down to the rest of the GT3 world at the ‘Green Hell'. The car's predictable handling and the sense of security that engendered, combined with its distinctive colour scheme were responsible for it becoming affectionately known as " Bilstein Billie" and this nickname has stuck. Following on from that race, the car was run and maintained (to the highest possible standards) for the following two seasons by Prodrive, as the ‘in house' works run GT3 car under private ownership. Winning overall, and achieving podiums in Blancpain Endurance, Britcar, the 2015 Le Mans Support race, VLN's, Dubai 24 hour, and finishing in the top 10 at the Nurburgring 24 hour race in '14 has helped to make sure ‘Billie' became one of the most iconic and recognisable cars of the current GT3 period. ‘Billie' has been raced by some of the best GT drivers in the world, giving it a truly unique and special provenance and we are proud to offer ‘Billie' as a significant piece of Grand Touring history, and therefore should be considered very seriously as a collector's item. However, the car is also an attractive competitive asset (a full Technical Specification Sheet is available) and is for sale fully set up as it finished its last race at the Le Mans support event in June 2015, where naturally, Billie won overall. We feel that this wonderful GT3 is sensibly guided here and would clarify that VAT is not due on the purchase. Have a look at some incredible onboard footage of " Billie" at the Nurburgring 24 hours.

1963 Alvis TD21 Saloon

Lot # 261 (Sale Order: 77 of 78)

The TD21 was conceived in 1956 and was quite a departure from the lovely, but rather "post-war" TC21 however, on its arrival in dealer's showrooms, it quickly set about changing established views of the Alvis. Following the loss of coachbuilders Mulliner and Tickford (who were now tied to other companies), Alvis turned to the Swiss coachbuilder, Graber whose tradition of producing sleek, modern and very elegant saloons and dropheads proved a good fit in terms of the way Alvis saw their future. Graber first presented this new style to the Alvis board in late 1957 who were very impressed with the Swiss company's flowing design and commissioned the body to be built on the new TD chassis.To ease logistical problems, Park Ward of London, built the Graber designed bodies in the UK. The Alvis Three Litre TD21 Series I was produced between the end of 1958 and April 1962, and was powered by the TC's 2993 cc engine, uprated by 15bhp to 115 as a result of an improved cylinder head design and an increased compression ratio. A new four speed gearbox from the Austin-Healey 100 was incorporated, while the suspension remained similar to the cars predecessor, independent at the front using coil springs and leaf springs at the rear, but the track was increased slightly and a front anti-roll bar added. From 1959 the all drum brake set up was changed to discs at the front retaining drums at the rear. In April 1962, the car was upgraded with four wheel Dunlop disc brakes in place of the disc/drum combination, aluminium doors, a five-speed ZF gearbox and pretty recessed spotlights either side of the grille, these improvements coming together to create the TD21 Series II. This impressive new Alvis boasted a most agreeable top speed of 105 mph. This low ownership example of the TD21 passed into experienced hands when it was purchased by Viv Richards in 1996 from a fellow Alvis club member. As such, the car was maintained by knowledgeable enthusiasts, ensuring its upkeep has been attentive and detailed. The recorded mileage at that time was a relatively low 30,000 miles and the car retains to this day its original number plate of 3969VT. This Alvis was used sparingly and, we understand was well cared for, remaining in the family when it was passed to the owner's son in 2001 who looked after the vehicle for a further 6 years before passing it on to his brother. During the family's ownership, 3969 VT has been lovingly and sympathetically restored, paying particular attention to replacing any rusting panels. The Alvis has an excellent chassis and the mechanical condition is first class as would be expected from such a cherished piece of family history. 3969 VT has continued it's life as a well kept and lightly used classic with a current recorded mileage of just 34,000 miles. The car presents superbly in Alvis Light Metallic Blue, and the interior is lovely in a medium beige with mid-blue carpets. The dashboard is always a feature with T series cars, and this one doesn't disappoint with unmarked Burr Walnut veneers and crisp clear instruments. The car sits squarely on its steel wheels, the tyres look hardly worn and the whole car looks, well you know, right. Having been a cherished family member for years, this Gentleman's Express is now looking forward to starting a new journey.

1958 Jaguar XK150 S 3.4 Roadster

Lot # 262 (Sale Order: 78 of 78)

Make: JaguarYear: 1958Registration: EU RegisteredChassis Number: T831517Engine Number: VS1473-9Engine - Displacement: 3400ccTransmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 90000-110000

The XK120 was launched in 1948 and was an international sensation. The XK finally put Jaguar on the world stage and the racing derivatives would see the beginning of a hugely successful period for the company. The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK and it appeared in May 1957. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was easily identifiable by its higher scuttle and door line, wider grille and improved interior space. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the XK140 including the same 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six, which developed 180bhp at 5,750rpm. As before with the XK range, standard (with steel wheels) and special equipment models were available, but a bewildering range of models was to evolve. Firstly, in 1958, the 'S' model was announced, equipped to ‘special equipment' specification and with a more powerful engine, though still of 3.4 litre capacity. Late in 1959 further options became available with the introduction of the 3.8 litre engine and the XK150 was available not only as a 3.4 litre, but two versions (Normal and "S") of the 3.8 variety. This, left-hand drive XK150S is recorded as having been built at Browns Lane on the 8th October, 1958 and was shipped to its new owner, Mr R.A.Leftwich in the USA in November of that year. Its most recent owner was a lucky Dane by the name of Jorgen Anderson Stoffer who was its custodian from 2008 until 2015. Fitted with a manual gearbox with overdrive, this 1958 Open Two Seater, 3.4S is finished in gleaming Old English white with dark blue leather, matching carpets and a dark blue hood, all of which appear to be in very good condition. A rare set of matching blue leather Jaguar suitcases fit snugly in the boot. The Chrome Wire Wheels look excellent as does the rest of the chrome and all of the fitted brightwork. The engine bay is clean and tidy and every aspect of the car appears to have been cared for. The accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms this a matching numbers car and it is currently Danish registered. A lovely XK.
