You are strongly advised to examine any Lot or have it examined by a specialist or engineer on your behalf before the Auction. 6.3 SAL gives no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Any estimate given, whether written or oral and whether or not printed in any Catalogue, as to the estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at SAL’s sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price. 6.4 SAL shall not be liable to the Seller for any error or misstatement in or omission from the description of any lot in any Catalogue where SAL has: 6.4.1 been provided with such description by the Seller or any person on his behalf; or 6.4.2 provided the Seller with a copy of such description prior to publication of the Catalogue and neither the Seller nor any person on his behalf has notified SAL in writing within 7 days of any error or misstatement in or omission from the description. 6.5 SAL has no duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller. 7. Warranty by the Seller 7.1 The Seller warrants to the Buyer and to SAL that: 7.1.1 the Seller is the owner of the Lot or is properly authorised to sell the Lot by the owner, and is able to sell the Lot with full title guarantee free from all encumbrances and third party claims and in particular that there is no outstanding finance affecting the Lot; 7.1.2 The description of the Lot in the Catalogue is to the best of the Seller’s knowledge accurate and not misleading.

SAL do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and submitted a registration form.

All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by SAL in writing. 9.4 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only SAL at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller. 9.5 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, SAL shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue. 9.6 SAL may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that SAL accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve. 10. Commission and Expenses 10.1 SAL shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 5% of the Hammer Price for vehicles and 10% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by SAL in writing (“Seller’s Commission”) plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to SAL. 10.2 The Seller acknowledges SAL’s right to retain the Buyer’s Premium payable by the Buyer. 11. Insurance 11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer.

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

In this instance, the buyer will be responsible for all removal and storage fees incurred. 17.3 No Lot may be collected until the Purchase Price has been received by SAL and payments by a Buyer to SAL may be applied by SAL towards any such sums due from that Buyer to SAL on any account whatsoever notwithstanding any directions to the contrary by the Buyer or his agent whether express or implied. 17.4 Title to the Lot will pass to the Buyer only when the Purchase Price in cleared funds has been received by SAL. 17.5 Immediately a Lot is sold the risk shall pass to the Buyer notwithstanding that possession will not be given and title will not pass to the Buyer before payment of the Purchase Price and SAL will not be responsible for any damage to or the loss or destruction of the Lot or any injury, loss or damage caused by the Lot unless caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by SAL, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to SAL.

1980 MGB GT

Lot # 301 (Sale Order: 3 of 53)

Make: MGModel: MGB GTYear: 1980Mileage: 1,499Exterior Color: GreenRegistration: JMH510WChassis Number: GVGEJ1AG512010Engine - Displacement: 1800Engine Number: 18V847H34466Cylinders: 4-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 0 - 0

Replacing the MG A in 1962, the MG B is a much-loved and enjoyable, classic British sports car. In GT form with its handsome fastback roof designed by Pininfarina, it followed conventional GT styling cues but for a fraction of the price. In 1974, North American regulations forced a raised ride height and polyurethane-covered bumpers onto the pretty profile of the B GT, a redesign that was to split opinion, to say the least, amongst those who admired the earlier car's style and balance. With hindsight, and given the inflexibility of the US requirements, the federalised MGB was actually a reasonably successful styling job compared with its Italian rivals, such as the Fiat Spider and X1/9. First registered on 17th September 1980, the last year of production, this amazing, rubber-bumpered MGB GT really represents a "step-back-in-time. Quite remarkably, it's had only one registered owner and had covered just 1,499 miles from new at the time of consignment, however we imagine that may be just over 1,500 when it arrives at the sale. This car has been garaged for over 30 years, is completely original and has never been restored as there was nothing to restore. It was made ready for the road in December 2014, and shortly after enjoyed its first ever MoT with 1,348 miles showing, and now presents in fantastic and almost unused condition. It comes with all its original documentation including the initial bill of sale, an invoice for "Protectol' rustproofing service costing £112.00 when new and the original service book with one entry on 26th April 1982 indicating a mileage at that point of 984. A very rare find in this state of preservation, this 35 year old car is something special. It's a little piece of Late Summer in 1980. Imagine walking into an MG Dealer at that time and being told that the new MGB GT in your choice of colour scheme wasn't available but "Sir, why don't you have a look at our low-mileage demonstrator in striking Brooklands Green with the latest Orange and Brown 'deckchair' trim". The deal was done, you drove the car home and placed it, as you would a Dinky Toy, in your metaphorical cupboard where it would remain, in toy terms "Mint and Boxed" for 30 years. Well it's not a Dinky Toy, it's real and it's here and you can drive it.

1972 Range Rover Suffix A

Lot # 302 (Sale Order: 4 of 53)

Make: Land RoverYear: 1972Registration: FRA 747LChassis Number: 35504617AEngine Number: 35507340AEngine - Displacement: 3500Cylinders: 8-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 0 - 0

The original Spencer King designed Range Rover was one of the British Motor Industry's proudest success stories. When it went out of production at the end of 1996, it still looked as fresh and forward-thinking as it did back in the 1970s when one was exhibited in the Louvre as an example of "exemplary work of industrial design". The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis, similar to the contemporary Series Land Rovers. It utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive, four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the legendary Rover 3.5 litre V8 engine. A well-balanced combination of form, function and power, the Range Rover could be adapted to a myriad of different uses. The vehicle became hugely popular with Britain's police forces and Lancashire Constabulary had taken to the Range Rover as its motorway patrol vehicle of choice and was one of the first regional forces to use the car in 1971. In the days, when the emphasis was on keeping the carriageway clear the Range Rover was unbeatable and, if used properly, had the ability to tow a 38 tonne HGV, providing the brakes weren't locked on. Accident damaged cars were physically dragged onto the hard shoulder. Unusually, this Range Rover has the dual distinction of being an early production Suffix 'A' car and formerly a Lancashire Constabulary motorway patrol vehicle. A letter from the acting fleet manager of Lancashire Constabulary dated 15th October 1998 states the following: "Dear... In respect of your enquiry relating to Range Rover STF 172L (NB. the car's former registration number) whilst in Police Service. The vehicle was purchased by Lancashire Constabulary in September 1972 at a cost of £2,267.37, then spent a further 3 years, approximately in police service on motorway duties. In 1975, the vehicle was decommissioned from service and sold at public auction to Parkfield Motors, Liverpool for the sum of £316.25..." Accompanied today by a valid MoT until September 2016, FRA 747L has excellent mechanicals, the legendary 3.5 V8 starts on the button, and settles to a low burble. The underbody we are informed is in very good order, but one or two aluminium reactions on the body will need to be addressed soon, although this is a classic Range Rover issue. Showing just over 72,300 miles and passing its recent MoT without any advisories, the history file is substantial and detailed. We conclude therefore that this significant example of British motoring and policing history offers the purchaser a dual opportunity; to be restored as a police vehicle for car shows and filming, or as a superb base for a truly splendid Suffix A restoration.

1942 Ford GPW Manufactured from 1941 - 1945 These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep. 277,896 Ford GPWs were built.335,531 Willys MB were built.25,808 Slat grill Willys MB were built.

The chassis was bead blasted along with the body and engine and turned out to be in superb condition and only required painting.The T84 gearbox and engine were completely rebuilt using, where necessary, genuine Ford parts.The body tub was rebuilt following bead blasting, including replacement of all strengthening bars and replacement of wood strengthening.A new wiring loom complete with light switches was installed and the choke, throttle cable, and handbrake cables(all Ford Parts Circa 1942) were also replaced. When E.C. Segar created his famous cartoon character "Popeye" in 1936, and surrounded him with a cast of characters, one of whom was called "Eugene the Jeep", he could never have imagined that the term "Jeep" would be in common use, worldwide, some eight decades later.Eugene the Jeep was Popeye's "jungle pet" and was "small, able to move between dimensions and could solve seemingly impossible problems", characteristics shared by the General Purpose (GP) vehicle issued to American combat soldiers fighting on the front lines in war-torn Europe. Having been brought up on a diet of Popeye cartoons it was not surprising that this tough little vehicle, which would frequently get them out of some real "scrapes", became affectionately known as a Jeep.Impressively the time taken from conception and tenders being sent out, to the production lines starting to roll, was less than two hundred days, amazing for a vehicle that has stood the test of time and become an unlikely motoring icon.This ability to get things done quickly and well was the deciding factor in America being asked to produce military hardware in vast numbers and build hundreds of ships, arguably influencing the outcome of the Second World War.As the war progressed Willys-Overland produced over 300,000 Jeeps and the Ford Motor Co. was drafted in to help boost production and contributed over 250,000 units. Ford manufactured Jeeps were recognizable by their pressed steel grilles as opposed to the Willys' slat grille style.Considering the manner in which the Jeep was conceived and its role in warfare, it's remarkable that most of the finest classic car collections will include a Willys or Ford WWII Jeep, making the restored example offered here a candidate for serious consideration should one of these yardstick cars have, so far, eluded you.This excellent and rare, Ford built, GPW Jeep was imported into the UK in 2014 and was then fastidiously restored by Colin Easson Motors and is now a consummate piece of military history.A USB drive is included with the photographic history documenting its restoration. Every nut and bolt received attention and the detail is fantastic, even down to the period tools and heavy-duty tow rope attached to the vehicle.Every rural car show in the country now has a section for Military Vehicles and with WW2 re-enactments and the prestigious classic car meetings all clamouring for 1940's Jeeps, this stunningly well-restored example could keep you busy all summer.

1972 Alfa Romeo GT Junior

The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint Coupé and used the shortened floor pan from the Giulia saloon. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial projects. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered ground-breaking styling features for the era. Often considered as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars with its five-speed gearbox, all round disc brakes, independent suspension and torquey engine they were very advanced for the time and have the capability to embarrass many of their modern counterparts. Built in 1972, this original RHD, GT Junior 1600 was first delivered on the 12th of February that year to Kempton Park, South Africa. Many years later, in 2005, this Alfa was imported to the UK via Holland having spent most of its life in the warm dry South African climate. The car has clearly been well maintained which is reflected in the extensive history file that not only includes past invoices but also hand written notes by previous owners in the accompanying workshop manual. The car was repainted at some stage in dramatic 'Giallo Prototipo' which still looks great to this day with only negligible imperfections visible, the interior is in excellent shape and the engine bay is very tidy. Originally a 1600cc, the car has been fitted some time ago with an uprated 1750cc Alfa Romeo Nord Twin Cam engine, often regarded as the most torquey and finest driving engines in the Alfa Romeo Twin Cam range. Having driven many of these cars this consigner is inclined to agree! Amongst other notable features on this car are the original and very sought after 'Hellebore' steering wheel and the fitment of twin Weber carburetors. The 105 Series Alfa Romeos are some of the best looking and driving classics you can acquire for a modest outlay at the moment, and this example fits the bill perfectly. Driving a seventies Alfa is fun, and driving a little Sunshine Yellow, GT Junior must be particularly so. I can't think of a better way to brighten up your day!

1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet

Lot # 305 (Sale Order: 7 of 53)

In 1989, the second series of the 944 was introduced, powered by a 210 bhp normally aspirated, double-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0 Litre version of the 944S engine, which was the largest four-cylinder engine in production at the time. The 944S2 also benefited from a revised transmission and the gearing was tweaked to better suit the torque and peak power characteristics of the 3.0 L M44/41 powerplant. The S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the 944 Turbo model and this was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the bumper and bonnet profiles would merge smoothly, a design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on production cars from the early nineties. In 1989, Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet, a first for the 944 line that featured a cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg in Germany, creating a very good looking car with excellent dynamic qualities that was rewarding to drive and was well received by the motoring press. A truly exceptional example of this often undervalued Porsche, E944CAR has been maintained and cherished throughout its life. Its most recent owner has acquired the vehicle twice, once in 2001 and again 2014. Since 2001, the car has been a regular Porsche GB Owners Club Concours entrant. Its shining moment came this year when it won overall at the Porsche GB National Concours at Althorp House and, as one would expect, the car remains in this stunning condition throughout. A huge history file documents all servicing, Concours adventures and previous MoT certificates. Despite having covered 87,000 miles over the last 25 years, the car appears in virtually showroom condition. The engine is fully detailed and is simply a joy to behold. All panels present beautifully and the Guards Red paint retains a superb shine. The front of the car is protected by clear film to prevent stone chips. The interior is hard to fault and the leather is in lovely condition. The hood is unmarked and the tyres are hardly worn. There are a large number of stamps in the original service book and in 2014 it had a huge service, including remedial engine work on the timing chain, tensioners and water pump. Supplied with all books, tools, tonneau cover, wallet and its original tyre compressor, we urge all potential purchasers to come and inspect this vehicle as it is an example of true 944 excellence. Offered without reserve, this Porsche would be an ideal addition for any collector or enthusiast with very high standards.

1983 Range Rover 2 Door Classic

The original Spen King designed Range Rover, was one of the British Motor Industry's proudest success stories. When it went out of production at the end of 1996, it still looked as fresh and forward-thinking as it did back in 1970 when one was exhibited in the Louvre as an example of modern sculpture. The car was renamed the Range Rover Classic when the MKII model was introduced in the Autumn of 1994, but demand for the earlier car continued even then. This was a car that had real international appeal. It sold in markets as diverse as Japan and the USA, Canada and Australia - and demand usually exceeded supply. Well over 300,000 Range Rovers had rolled off the production lines by the time the first iteration of this legendary model was laid to rest. There may be large numbers of more modern Range Rovers around, but that doesn't mean to say that the original first generation model with its familiar boxy shape is lacking enthusiastic supporters. Quite the contrary in fact, those numbers are growing and early Range Rovers are enjoying unprecedented success on the used car market. This sympathetically restored 1983, 2dr Classic Range Rover, fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox, is presented in its original colour of Shetland Beige. Chassis number 'SALLHABV7AA/136071' according to its Heritage Certificate, had the build dates 4 May - 6 June 1983 and was dispatched from Land Rover on the 9 June 1983 to its ordering dealer, the somewhat grandly named "Automobile Palace" in Llanfair, Anglesey. Showing an unwarranted 29,000 miles, the condition of this car must be seen to be appreciated. This 3.5 V8 Classic Range Rover was recently returned to rude health at a cost of circa £28,000 by AWS competition, classic and race engineers. We understand that every aspect of the car was carefully restored and naturally the engine, gearbox, axles, suspension and brakes were all rebuilt using renovated existing parts or the correct items from specialist suppliers. New panels were applied paying particular attention to fit and panel gaps, the chassis received the same attention as the rest of the car and the engine bay was tidied. New, correct specification, carpets were fitted as was a new headlining, however the seats were in excellent condition so were simply cleaned and replaced.Finally, the car was professionally painted in its original Shetland Beige. There are a few photos of the restoration included in the history file (there may be some more at the time of sale) and no relevant invoices of the work are available however anyone spending ten minutes looking closely at this Range Rover will be in no doubt about the quality of the work and the time and care lavished on this splendid eighties icon. We are told the car drives without fault and in the vendor's words (a Range Rover enthusiast) is " probably rebuilt to better tolerances than Land Rover ever achieved". In the history file, there are some old MoT certificates, currently three photos of the restoration, the Heritage Certificate, a key fob from 'The Automobile Palace' and some original documents, including a 1985 Range Rover parts and accessories booklet, Leycare Supercover booklet, and a Unipart Land Rover Parts sheet. This stunning Range Rover will impress even the most hardened of enthusiasts, as it certainly did with us.

1988 KVA GT40

Lot # 307 (Sale Order: 9 of 53)

Year: 1988Registration: Q79 DDCChassis Number: SABTVR03218022001Engine - Displacement: 351ciCylinders: 8-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 35000 - 40000

The Ford GT 40 is one of the greatest racing cars, from one of the greatest racing periods. The 1960s were the time of the famous Ford / Ferrari battles at Le Mans and in the World Sports Car championship and allegedly, the GT40's very existence arose out of Ford's desire, and then failure, to purchase Ferrari. What ensued is one of the greatest motor sport rivalries of all time between Ferrari, who had won Le Mans six consecutive times (1960-1965) and Ford, who then won Le Mans four consecutive times (1966-1969) proving that they too, could compete at an international level. Consequently, given the car's competition pedigree and beautiful, Eric Broadley styling, original GT40s are worth millions of pounds today. As a result, high quality, dimensionally accurate recreations that employ original Ford power plants are an affordable and enjoyable way to experience one of the all-time great cars. Offered here is a KVA replica that was first registered on the 1st May 1988 to Alexander Trotman, the then Chairman and CEO of the Ford Motor Company. He subsequently sold it in December 1992, to a fellow Ford director who was a knowledgeable engineer and enthusiast for all things Ford. Documentation in the concise history file shows that he was not a fan of the original power train set up of a Rover V8 and Citroen gearbox, so at considerable expense he went about changing it in 1993. A Ford 351 fed through a set of Weber IDFs, now sits proudly in the rear and is expertly mated to a purpose built ZF gearbox costing circa £16,0000 in 1994. It is quoted in the history file that "the car now has the same specification as the winning GT40 Chassis 1075". A breakdown of the ratios can be found in the history file. Sadly our owner passed away without seeing the fruition of his labours on his beloved GT40, but he did leave behind all of his engineering drawings and build notes and they are in the file. Fortunately the car was purchased by our equally enthusiastic vendor a couple of years ago, and after some careful research set about the last stages of bringing this striking car back to life. With the car mechanically sound, he spent just over a year focussing on the bodywork, gently modifying the KVA shell to keep the appearance as original as possible. The venting has been shaped to allow more effective cooling and new contours have been added to guide the airflow into air ducts on the rear clamshell, as a result of which the rear arches are now symmetrical. A new petrol tank was then fabricated and made to fit snugly, the interior has been trimmed and the door cards have been covered in leather. He then spent a considerable amount of time making sure that all the panels fitted correctly and the 'shut lines' were spot-on. When he was completely satisfied with his extensive labours the car was expertly finished in the famous Gulf Racing colours of Powder Blue (PPG12163) and Topaz (PPG60812) and bears the number '6' and the correct decals replicating '1075'. '1075' is perhaps the most famous of the Gulf cars, having won six times internationally, with two of these being at Le Mans when it was shared by Rodriguez and Bianchi in '68 and Ickx and Oliver in '69. A great deal of time and money has gone into this project, drawing on all the connections and experience of its recent owners. Just prior to the sale the engine was tuned by a V8 specialists and the carbs were balanced and set up. It's now running well, is MoT'd until October 2016 and ready to drive away. With its externally accurate replication of '1075', and the degree of engineering integrity in the build, this is a very desirable GT40 replica and with other, lesser, GT40 recreations being advertised at prices in excess of this guide we feel it represents excellent value for money.

October 1975 saw the debut at the Paris Motor Show of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem, the Ferrari 308. Over 20,000 examples of all engine types and sizes were produced from 1975-1989. This new car was constructed on a traditional steel tube chassis, but its beautiful body was firstly manufactured in GRP and then after two years, Scaglietti started making GTBs in steel. The 3-litre, four-cam V8 was more or less unchanged until March 1981 when Bosch fuel injection was added in place of the 4 double-choke Webers, although the final drive was altered on these cars to give similar acceleration to a carburettor car. Both versions have their supporters, but the 308 is generally accepted as one of Ferrari's all-time greatest road cars and prices are most definitely on the rise. Delivered new to its first owner in 1982, this beautiful Ferrari 308 GTSi is finished in Rosso Corsa with a Nero leather interior and red carpets throughout. Purchased by our vendor from Modena Ferrari on the 25th May 1989, this car has been well and truly pampered by him ever since in his almost 27 years of ownership. He has always followed 'best practice' with these cars by making sure that they were warmed up properly before use, and the air conditioning run periodically and slowly turned down before shutting off. The oil has been changed as a matter of course between services and he has respected the Ferrari's little idiosyncrasies, ensuring this car has always remained in tip-top condition. The service and maintenance history that accompanies this car is comprehensively filed and is supported by a raft of MoT certificates dating back to 1986. Parts have always been purchased from recognised suppliers such as Superformance and the trail of invoices logging the service history is as follows: Total Mileage Mileage after Speedo change Specialist Invoice number Date Work undertaken 4,080 Maranello 1777 8.11.83 Service 18,624 Bramshaw 8948 23.7.86 Cambelt & service 23,066 Modena 6298 30.3.87 Service 33,214 Modena 9039 5.5.89 Service 34,693 Modena 9538 27.11.89 Cambelt & service 39,511 Speedo change July 1991 50,782 11,271 Maranello 6634 20.1.94 Cambelt, Waterpump & Service 50,932 11,421 MHT 0048 27.1.94 Service 60,261 20,750 Potter 2496 4.3.99 Service 61,509 21,998 MHT 0196 7.9.99 Cambelt & service 63,533 24,022 Owner & Rogers 4434 18.1.06 Cambelt & service 68,603 29,092 Rogers 12335 10.8.15 Cambelt, Waterpump & Service Along with the other maintenance that has been carried out, the wheels have been kept in great condition and are shod with the correct period Michelin TRX tyres for which they were originally designed. This 308 GTSi is supplied with a full complement of original Ferrari tools, jack, all handbooks & manuals, 2 spare keys in their original pouch and a fitted car cover as well as the original radio which sits happily where it always has. The lines of the 308 have aged well, and this example in a classic colour combination looks every inch the quintessential 1980's Ferrari. The paintwork is splendid, the engine bay is tidy and the interior is in excellent condition with just the light patina of a well-loved sports car. With a UK V5c bearing cherished registration '6994 RH' and MoT tested until 24th June '16, this well cared for and recently belted & serviced 308 is now ready to begin the next chapter of its life after nearly 27 years with our vendor. Even when photographing the car, reputedly one of only 67 GTSis in right-hand drive, it was surrounded by many admirers, and this cataloguer can confirm how 'tight' and well setup it felt on the road. Rarely do cars of this quality come to market, and we feel it's a fantastic opportunity not to be missed.

Since the prototype was unveiled in 1963, the Porsche 911 has gone on to become perhaps, the most famous sports car of all time. A classically Germanic blend of engineering excellence and austerely beautiful design it remains to this day in real terms, the only supercar that can be reliably used on a daily basis. In 1973, it had already been 10 years since the 911 was first introduced and its spirit was alive and well. This year brought some major innovations, including the characteristic shock-absorbing bumpers, the 'ducktail' and 'whale-tail' and a completely galvanised body. In the same year, one of the most influential models in 911 history was introduced: the Carrera RS. Most manufacturers struggle with torsional rigidity when trying to convert their coupés into convertibles (the other way around is often easier), and Porsche were no exception in the early sixties when trying to let the breeze into their new 901 (later 911). The solution was to build the car with a roll hoop as part of the chassis and when this was streamlined and cosmetically enhanced it worked well, and the result was an attractive "half-convertible" that was stiff and handled predictably. At a marketing meeting to decide a name for this new concept, Cologne dealer Walter Franz threw "Targa" into the hat conjuring up images of their success with an open-top car in the hard-fought Targa Florio under a glorious Sicilian Sun. Whilst considering this possibility, someone pointed out to Harald Wagner, the marketing director that "targa" was Italian for "shield" and signified strength and safety, which obviously appealed to the Teutonic sense of responsibility, and so the name was adopted and is still in use today. Offered here we have a 1973, left-hand drive US Specification 911T running on Bosch K-Jet fuel injection, unlike the Euro-spec 911Ts which were on carbs, so for once, a 911 built to a US spec is more powerful than its European siblings at 140 rather than 130bhp. The car was built in April '73 and originally sold by Porsche Los Angeles. Original Options - alloys wheels 6x15", front and rear stabilisers, trims on wheel housings, Comfort interior - leather steering wheel, Instruments & oil tank like 911S, coloured windows. This Porsche is painted in its original colour of Sepia Brown, although the interior has been changed from beige leatherette as supplied to black. We understand that the engine was rebuilt in 1993 in the USA. The car was imported to the UK in 2010 and a full restoration was undertaken between 2010 and 2015. Stripped down to the bare shell, fully restored and repainted. New brakes, suspension. New interior by Southbound Trimmers at a cost of £9k. Refurbed Fuchs wheels and new tyres. New Targa roof by Southbound, new rubber seals. Refurbed injection system. Restored steering wheel. This little brown Porsche has a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, is NOVA cleared and the vehicle is MoT'd.

Produced from 1992 until 2003, the Ferrari 456 and later 456 M are front-engined "Grand Tourers' in the true tradition, and were an overdue replacement for the outdated front-engined 412 which had been the company's premium four-seat V12 car for some years. The name 456 refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimeters and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 secs and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be a very reliable unit.It's looks are smooth and understated, and distinctive external features include a small grill with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops (removed on the 456M), a motorised undercarriage spoiler that begins its deployment above 65 mph and pop-up headlights, making this the last Ferrari to do so. The model was warmly received by press and enthusiasts alike before the 456M was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti. Purchased on the 30th of April 1997 from Maranello Concessionaries Ltd and finished in the attractive combination of Grigio with a Red leather interior, this lovely 456 spent the first 10 years of its life on British roads, before being exported to Cyprus in the late 2000s. An original stamped service book accompanies the car, tracking its regular service history through a variety of Ferrari main dealers and supercar specialists, alongside MoTs, receipts and invoices detailing maintenance on the vehicle, including work commissioned in Cyprus. The car's most recent service, in September this year, saw expenditure exceeding 4,000 euros on a detailed service and overhaul which included; new cam belts, camshaft, air filter, oil filter, rear brake pads and refreshed leather trims. The odometer reading at that point was just 27,519 miles. This original UK, right-hand drive Ferrari 456 has recently arrived back in England and is supplied with a NOVA, import documents ( it's currently undergoing UK Registration), a fresh MoT, Ferrari toolkit and its history file. A competent Grand Tourer in excellent condition, this fantastic car offers V12 Ferrari performance and style and, at its current estimate, represents fantastic value for money.

In 1980 Renault introduced the new R5 Turbo as a pure homologation special to compete in Group 4 racing and international rallies. The 5 Turbo was based on the production Renault 5 Alpine, but Renault engineers scrapped the standard front-engine, front wheel drive layout in favour of a mid-engine, rear-drive set up. In 1981 Jean Ragnotti and his co-driver Jean-Marc Andrie won the Monte Carlo Rally outright for Renault, and the following year Ragnotti won the Tour de Corse. In 1984 Group B homologation was sought for the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo to enable it to contest the World Rally Championship. Ragnotti added another Tour de Corse win with the 5 Maxi Turbo in 1985. After the first batch of 400 road cars had been made to satisfy Group 4 homologation volume requirements, a second generation, known as the Turbo 2 was to follow. This 1984 Turbo 2 was brought to the UK when it was only a year old in 1985, and has had only four owners in total. The third owner purchased the car in 1988 and owned it for the next 26 years until 2014. He used the car sparingly for the first 11 years, then put it away in storage for the following 15. The current mileage stands at 89,000kms (55,000 Miles) and a file of previous MoTs confirms this mileage to be correct. Our vendor bought the car in 2014, and immediately wasted no time in getting it fully recommissioned, sourcing a number of rare parts carefully from "5 Turbo" specialists in France. The brakes received a complete overhaul, with all four callipers being fully rebuilt and new handbrake cables were installed with new discs and pads all round. All the water pipes were changed along with a new thermostat, radiator, water pump and fan belt. The engine was brought back to life with an injection system refurbishment carried out by specialists KMI Injection. The injection metering unit was stripped, rebuilt and refitted with 3 new fuel pumps, fuel accumulator, fuel pipes, fuel relay, injectors and a warm up regulator. As well as the mandatory service items such as air filter and oil filter, all the electrical components were changed including spark plugs, coil, HT leads, distributor rotor and cap. The fuel tanks were removed and cleaned with new fuel level senders fitted. A new set of Michelin TRX tyres were fitted and, as you would expect, the car now runs and drives exceptionally well. Too much work was carried out to list in full, but suffice it to say that nearly £10,000 was invested in this Turbo 2 to ensure that it is mechanically sound. Externally, the car can only be described as being in "unmolested' condition and the paintwork is still factory original, although some of the French lacquer has made a bid for freedom! Whilst not a 'Concours Queen', this definitive Group B pocket rocket has patina in droves and a huge amount of character. With less than 50 Renault 5 Turbo 2s estimated to remain in the UK, they are a rare sight on British roads and rarely come up for sale. Supplied with a UK V5c and an MoT until August '16, this Turbo 2 has been subject to a significant amount of expenditure and has had all the important recommissioning work already carried out. This is a chance to own what is surely one of the original and definitive "hot hatches' from the eighties, and not an opportunity to be missed.

1966 Lotus Elan S2 Ex Peter Sellers

Lot # 312 (Sale Order: 14 of 53)

The original Lotus Elan (Type 26), was first introduced as a roadster and replaced the elegant, but unreliable and costly to produce Lotus Elite. It was the first Lotus road car to use a steel backbone chassis with a fibreglass body and in the early days, Elans were also available in kit form for home assembly but predictably that didn't last long. As is often the way, the Elan evolved through a number of iterations before manufacture ceased in 1973. These developments mainly concerned comfort and civility but all through its life the essence of the Elan didn't change. A technologically advanced DOHC development of Ford's proven "Kent' engine, bored out to 1558cc (commonly known as the Twin-Cam) provided the propulsion, whilst cutting-edge features such as all-round disc brakes, fully independent suspension and nimble rack and pinion steering provided agility and handling that was simply amazing compared to the opposition. Colin Chapman proudly announced in the launch literature that "We wanted to build you a fun car.."; a brief he achieved with vigour thanks to the fact that his unequalled talent for vehicle set-up was never more prevalent than in the Elan's performance. Exciting paintwork colours were introduced such as Carnival Red, Pistachio Lime Green and the delectable Lotus Yellow and the Elan became the 'Darling' of the High Street in the mid-sixties. The Series 2 (S2) appeared in 1966 and featured a number of cosmetic and detail improvements over the earlier car and the Special Equipment (SE) model featured centre lock wheels and electric windows. 'SAR 57D' is a 1966, Elan S2-SE and was first registered in July of that year. It has been enjoyed by three previous owners and the vendor, and has an indicated mileage of 65,611 which we cannot verify but may well be correct as the car has been in dry storage and SORN'd since August, 2005. The car is in reasonable condition, it wouldn't take a lot to put some sparkle in the White paintwork and the Black interior is a little tired, but all it really needs is a bit of a tidy and some tlc. The original V5 is with the car, as are MoT Certificates from July 1977 until 2005 and it will be MoT'd by the time of sale. However, we suspect that the main interest in this Elan will be in its first owner, a certain Peter Sellers and according to the V5, the car was delivered to him at 37 Panton St, Haymarket on 22nd. July 1966. There may be a few people who have never heard of Peter Sellers- but it will only be a few. He was a legendary Actor and Comedian as well as being a talented Singer, Director and Photographer, who sadly passed away in 1980. In terms of Acting and Comedy he is regarded as being in the top 50 in the world at both, ever. His body of work is too vast to list here but Dr Strangelove, the Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau and the Goon show have all had an influence on British society. Girls played a major part in his life, he was married four times including Britt Eckland (64-68) and Lynne Frederick (77-80), and during the sixties and seventies was frequently seen in the company of the world's most beautiful women. Perhaps less known was his passion for cars, having owned dozens, and never missing a photo opportunity with his new toy, whether on four wheels or two legs. Which makes it strange that we can only locate one picture of him in this car, popping up from underneath the closed tonneau cover and about to come out with some piece of wisdom in the voice of "Bluebottle" (Ask your Dad). We hope that we may soon have access to a file of photographs containing some more shots of him in this car with Britt Eckland by the time of sale, however naturally, we can make no guarantees. Whether this little white Elan interests you as a motoring project or a piece of Movie Memorabilia, please come and talk to us.

1993 Ferrari 512 TR Right Hand Drive

Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa (F110) at the 1984 Paris Motor Show, marking the end of production of the legendary Boxer that had been the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa (Red Head) paid homage to the great 1950's sports racers that originally bore that name, referring to their bright red rocker box covers.The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the centre of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car resulting in the weight distribution being 40/60 front and rear, almost an ideal balance in terms of road holding and steering response. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor, some 6 inches wider and 2.5 inches longer at 2550mm, allowing for more leg room and combined with the raised roof height in the cabin made progress a little more comfortable, provided you could see the corners of the car, which you couldn't.Production of the 512TR commenced in 1991 with deliveries to customers in 1992 and was effectively a re-engineered Testarossa, although Ferrari were keen that it was regarded as a new model. As well as the slightly less dramatic styling and a few tweaks to the detailing the main changes were chassis and engine related. The power of the 4.9 Litre, 48 valve, flat 12 was increased to 428 bhp from 380 with a similar improvement in torque, and with the benefit of a 30kg weight reduction on the earlier model, 0-60 times fell from 5.3 to 4.9 seconds. This right-hand drive, 5-speed manual 512TR is finished in Rosso Corsa with a black leather interior and red carpets. Supplied new by Graypaul on 24/09/1993 to its first lucky owner, a Mr P.G.Cowling, the car has been cared for and enjoyed by a total of five owners. The service and maintenance records are exemplary and list every detail of this car's care from new.

2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante

Lot # 314 (Sale Order: 16 of 53)

Make: Aston MartinModel: DB7 Vantage VolanteYear: 2002Registration: S5 CXOChassis Number: SCFAB32352K402774Engine - Displacement: 5935Engine Number: AM2/02835Cylinders: 12-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: AutomaticEstimate - Range: 34000 - 38000

At the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, Aston Martin introduced the long awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7. With a Cosworth designed, 5.9 litre V12 producing a creamy 420bhp, eased into the svelte Ian Callum masterpiece, the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its six-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 the grill was enlarged, fog lamps added and the valances restyled, all these changes resulting in a much 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 were also prepared. The term 'Volante' literally means 'Flying' and has been applied to every convertible Aston since 1965, and naturally was attached to the DB7 when they cut the top off in 1996. The Vantage Volante, with an electrically operated soft-top, followed in 2000. This model cost over £100,000 at its launch and remained in production until 2003 with around 2,046 examples produced. Offered here, is a DB7 5.9 litre V12 Vantage Volante Automatic, supplied new in January 2002 by Aston Martin dealership Stratton Motor Company Ltd. of Norfolk. This very fine example is finished in the desirable combination of Titanio Grigio with a Pacific Blue leather interior, matching Wilton carpets and hood and features the rare, special order, original factory-fitted, carbon fibre fascia panels. This car has covered approximately 28,000 miles and has always been well-maintained and serviced. The fully complete leather-bound book pack contains a service interval record that shows a healthy mix of stamps from Aston Martin and marque specialists. There is a good collection of invoices and old MoT certificates going back to 2006, helping to verify the mileage. Our vendor is an Aston Martin enthusiast and patently fastidious, as in 2014, within a month of buying this low mileage car, he spent £8,308 on thorough servicing, new brakes and the renewal of many perishable components. Six months later he spent a further £2,700 doing similar things. Having used the car sparingly but wanting to maintain it in the manner it deserves, our vendor has enjoyed a number of European driving trips where he says the Volante has performed superbly. The fabric hood has been looked after and operates as it should. The originally supplied leather hood cover and its bag are present and correct, as is the original Aston Martin umbrella. The car is offered for sale with the private registration "S5 CXO' and a fresh MoT until 13.04.16. Equally at home on long Continental trips or winding 'B' roads, the effortless performance and incomparable touring qualities of the Vantage Volante shine through and the five-speed automatic gearbox is well suited to such a fine GT car. We all know what has happened to the values of earlier DBs, and despite being produced in reasonable numbers we feel the DB7's looks will prove timeless, and it will become more and more desirable to collectors and enthusiasts alike, the Vantage Volante even more so. An Aston Martin photographed in a naval dock-yard next to a cold-war submarine with a Union Jack flag fluttering away nearby - very atmospheric and the perfect illustration that in engineering design terms 'form' can follow 'function' with stunning results. Coincidentally the submarine was named 'Ocelot', and in the world of Big Cats "an Ocelot is smaller, more nimble, quicker and considerably more rare than a Jaguar". Not that we would dream of making the comparison! (With thanks to the Chatham Historic Dock-yard)

1974 Ford Capri RS 3100

Lot # 315 (Sale Order: 17 of 53)

Year: 1974Registration: XGC 243MChassis Number: BBECND10799Engine Number: ND10799Engine - Displacement: 3100ccCylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 45000 - 50000

Launched in 1969 as 'The car you always promised yourself', the Capri was Ford Europe's response to the mighty sales success of the Mustang in America. To garner sales interest, Ford relied heavily on motorsport in the 1970s and soon an RS 2600 Capri was commissioned and built to compete in the European Touring Car championship. However, BMW had bigger ideas and introduced the more powerful 3.0CSL and stole a march on Ford on the track. In response, Ford Advanced Operations got the go ahead in September 1973 to build 248 Capri RS 3100s to homologate the car for the E.T.C.C. and the motorsport public were treated to some very special racing in the 74/75 season as both manufacturers showed scant regard for cost, both on and off the track. The Essex 3.0 V6 was over bored to 3091 cc giving 148bhp and fitted as standard to the road car, along with suspension modifications, RS four spoke alloys and a shallow front splitter with an enormous rear wing added to the already comprehensive RS2600 standard spec. The world recession slowed sales of the RS3100 road car, which was only built in right-hand drive for the UK market, and by July of 1974, 50 of the unsold cars were sent to Australia (also a right-hand drive market), to be sold. This particular car, chassis number 10799, was originally finished in Sebring Red and sold new in the UK. A car that is well-known to the RS Owner's Club, this example was purchased in 1981 by Dennis Sellers, ex-chairman of the RS Owner's Club. Mr. Sellers was also parts manager for Manchester Ford RS dealer H&J Quicks Ltd. Subsequently, he sourced all new body panels, unique to the RS 3100, and took the car off the road in 1985 for restoration. He had Macclesfield motor bodies replace the inner and outer front wings, bonnet, slam panel, lower cross-member, radiator panels, battery tray, sills, A-posts and more. All panels were original Ford parts and were spot welded to an exacting specification. He also sourced new old-stock light trims and brightwork. Following this vast amount of work, the car was sold to respected Ford RS engine builder Ric Wood as a complete, but unfinished project. Ric stored the car in his heated workshop before it was sold to the current owner after some 20 years in storage. The current owner then: "had the relatively easy task of finishing off the car. The end result is we think the best RS 3100 in existence. It is a museum quality car, which can only appreciate in years to come, as the rarest of all the RS Fords." The original engine received a complete rebuild by Ric Wood and has been rolling road tested to 180bhp. Having completed only running-in mileage since completion, the condition of this vehicle has to be seen to be believed and any RS expert is encouraged to come and inspect the quality of this restoration. We feel this car could be a regular entrant into future concours competitions and would be a welcome addition to any Ford collection.

1965 Jaguar XK-E (E-Type) Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe

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. This original UK RHD example, was bought by a Mr JMC Shand and first registered on the 2nd April 1965. Mr Shand was a well-known race and rally driver - particularly driving Jaguar MkVIIs & XK120s but also Lotus lightweights in the 50s & 60s. The car subsequently passed to Mr. I Willis of Washington, Tyne & Wear, before being bought by the current owner in 1984. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 62,000. Between 1984 and 1990 it covered approximately 8,600 miles and all of the MoTs for this period are available. The car was taken off the road and fully restored in the 1990s - and subsequently stored in a dehumidified garage until it was recommissioned in March 2012, the MoT showing a mileage of 70,637. The car was again MoT'd in 2013 with a mileage of 70,684 and has subsequently covered less than 20 miles. Earlier this year the car was once again awoken and fully recommissioned by Jagtech Limited, Jaguar Specialists with the engine being fully rebuilt to exacting manufacturer's tolerances by E-type engine specialists, West Riding Independent Ltd at a cost in excess of £7,000. Where possible parts were used from the original engine, including the head and crank, however the original block was found to be damaged and has been replaced with the correct type from a 1967 Jaguar E-type engine. The original engine block (7e 3523-9) will be included in the sale and we understand it could be repaired if desired. As well as the engine work undertaken a further £6,000 has been spent on re-commissioning the car to ensure it looks its finest. Presented in sparkling Opalescent Dark Green and in superb condition all round, the car is accompanied by a similarly excellent history file. A very well cared for example with an interesting history and benefitting from significant expenditure, this car wants nothing but a new custodian.

1972 Citroen SM Maserati

Begun in 1961, 'Project S' emerged from Citroën's requirement to develop a sports variant of the revolutionary DS. As was customary for the quirky French firm, many running concept vehicles were developed with increasingly complex and upmarket features to differentiate the "sports' project from the popular DS. The acquisition of Maserati by Citroën in 1968 was motivated by the possibility of harnessing Maserati's high-performance engine technology to produce a true Grand Tourer, combining the sophisticated Citroën suspension with the power of a Maserati V6. The result was the Citroën SM, which was first shown to rapturous appreciation at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970. It went on sale in France in September of that year in left hand drive only, although right hand drive conversions were later offered in the UK and Australia. The SM was Citroën's flagship vehicle, competing with other high-performance GTs of the time from manufacturers such as Jaguar, Lotus, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo and Porsche. It was also Citroën's way of demonstrating just how much power and performance could be accommodated in a front-wheel drive design. As an example of Citroëns optimism and progressive technology, the SM was untouchable, and similarities drawn by pundits of the day to the design and futurism of aircraft such as Concorde cemented the love affair still borne by car aficionados today. The car we're pleased to offer here was supplied new in France and registered in October of 1972. The subject of significant restorative works in 2014 she's a fully functioning and sharp example with those aforementioned GT legs, peerless styling and fistfuls of charm to boot. This restoration covered works to the suspension, steering, braking and cosmetics including a full strip down, repaint and rebuild with every part treated, cleaned and refitted before new leather seats and carpeting were installed. Attractively finished in Feuille Doree ("Champagne' to you and I) she sports a black leather interior, upgraded air conditioning, gleaming brightwork and European exterior styling with the increasingly sought-after covered headlights. Mechanically, close to £10,000 has been spent with respected UK-based SM Specialists, Andrew Brodie Engineering, to ensure she runs and drives as well as she looks. At Andrew's recommendation this included a fully rebuilt engine with replacement block to future proof many more miles of motoring for this car. The result is impressive with this SM running on the button and performing reliably and consistently, as you would expect. Offered for sale with French registration and a French log book, this reputed three-owner car is accompanied by a host of invoices, NOVA number, UK MOT to June 2016, original Citroën Manual (Notice d'Emploi) and certification from the SM Club of France relating to the car's production history.

1967 Alfa Romeo GT Sprint Veloce

Lot # 318 (Sale Order: 20 of 53)

The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint coupé and used the shortened floor pan from the Giulia saloon car. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for the famous design house and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial efforts. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered ground-breaking styling features for the era. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce was similar to the original Giulia Sprint GT, however it featured modifications to the engine, providing a small bhp increase and significantly improved torque. It also featured subtle exterior and interior changes, the most notable of these being the redesigned front seats with a more sporting bucket shape and externally there were revised bumpers, wheels, badging and a different grill. Built for just two years, the Veloce is one of the rarest models in the 105 series and regarded as one of the most collectable models, second only to the fabled and costly GTA. This gorgeous car was built September 1967, and first delivered in RHD specification to Switzerland finished in Dutch blue before almost immediately being dispatched to Cyprus. It remained in Cyprus until 2014, when our vendor purchased the car and as soon as the deal was done he set about a full bare metal restoration. By this time, the car had already been repainted in Alfa Romeo 'Nero' and the decision was made to retain this colour for the re-spray, a wise decision indeed as the black finish truly suits the car. Alfa Romeo Specialists 'Auto Delta', using parts supplied by Alfaholics and Classic Alfa undertook the majority of the restoration work with other areas being outsourced, such as the repair and re-trim of the original dashboard by O'Rouke Coach trimmers. The running gear has been completely renewed with the fitment of new trailing arms, a Classic Alfa handling kit and a rebuild of the Dunlop Braking system including master cylinder and brake servo. The engine has also been subject to restorative work with new camshafts fitted, a strip and rebuild of the carburettors and replacement ancillaries where needed. Internally the car has been fitted with new 'Old Stock' dials sourced from Australia, and benefits from a full interior re-trim, repair and re-trim of the original dashboard by O'Rouke Coach trimmers, a new roof lining, carpet set, steering column with the original steering wheel restored, and new dash switches.Externally the chrome work and badging have been restored, replaced or re-chromed and new 'Old Stock' Veloce specific hub cabs have been sourced and fitted. Invoices relating to the restoration accompany the car detailing in excess of £20,000 that has been spent on the resurrection of this dramatic Alfa. This fabulous car really stands out as one of the finest examples we have come across. Often considered as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars available, we find it hard to disagree.

1966 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk I

The engine for the Lotus Cortina began its life in 1961 when Colin Chapman commissioned a twin-cam version of the Ford Kent engine and bored it out to give 1,558cc. Whilst the engine was still being developed, Ford asked Chapman to fit the engine to 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 homologation. Chapman accepted the challenge and the Lotus Cortina was born. Ford supplied the bodyshells, whilst Lotus handled the mechanical and cosmetic changes. This involved installing the 105 bhp 1,558cc engine into the cars, together with a close-ratio gearbox. The rear suspension was altered and lightweight alloy panels were used, along with lightweight casings for the gearbox and differential. The model was to dominate saloon car racing for the Ford factory as it evolved throughout the 1960s and was driven by many stars of the day, including the legendary Jim Clark. Declared manufactured in 1966 on the V5c, this Lotus Cortina Mk1 has a very interesting story from the word go...... Previously under the long term ownership of a chap called "Dusty', a motorcycle enthusiast and Hell's Angel, the car was finished in black and had a brown vinyl roof and was bearing registration "TMP 86S'. A part exchange that included a trike, a Ford Anglia and cash was enough to secure a deal between Dusty and the would-be new owner, a Mr P. Edwards. Upon purchase, Mr Edwards decided to strip the car down and it was discovered that written in chalk on the chassis were the words "1989 Donington'. After some delving and letters exchanged with Rikki Nock at the Lotus Cortina register it was discovered that this car was probably originally manufactured around November / December 1965 and was the 2,065th built. However, in 1977, due to an accident, it was re-shelled with a genuine ex-experimental 125E Lotus shell sourced directly from Ford. There is evidence that the shell was originally painted red, as per all motorsport or experimental Lotus Cortinas, and has experimental features. As a result of the accident, the DVLA gave it a 1977 registration "TMP 86S'. Obviously, the new owners were delighted that there was a story behind their new purchase and naturally wanted to apply for an age-related plate from the DVLA. After much back and forth, and again with help from the Register, the car was granted a new 1966, age related, registration "FHJ 246D'. Contained within the history file are all the photographs whilst the car was undergoing a full restoration, which included the bodywork, engine and mechanicals and it was finally finished in Ermine White with the classic green stripe. The condition of this car today is simply stunning and it is as clean underneath as it is on top. Supplied with a staggering amount of documented paperwork (X4 large files), including press cuttings from when the car was featured in the Lotus Register Magazine - issue 1 and Classic Ford magazine, July 2000, this fantastic Lotus Cortina is ready to continue its illustrious story with its next owner.

1952 Jowett Jupiter Convertible

Jowett Cars Limited of Idle, Bradford manufactured a two/three seat sports coupé, the Jupiter, from 1950 to1954. Based on the highly successful Javelin Saloon, which was Britain's first completely new post-war car, the Jupiter retained the horizontally-opposed engine, torsion bar suspension and much of the running gear from the Javelin all housed in a completely new aluminium body designed 'in house' by their Chief Bodywork Designer, Reg Korner. The Jupiter's chassis, made of chrome-molybdenum steel tube, had been designed by Eberan von Eberhorst, then working at ERA, who brought the design with him when the ERA project was shelved. The first Jupiter was unveiled in March 1950 and won the approval of the motoring press and customers alike. It achieved significant competition successes, with perhaps the most notable being a record-breaking class win at the 1950 Le Mans 24 Hours and then repeating the feat in 1951 and 52. Hardly surprising, considering that the input from ERA had resulted in a torsionally stiff chassis which, when combined with the 1486 cc flat four's excellent power output, was the ideal formula for success in long-distance racing.There followed a period when the Jupiter was seen as an attractive and fast means of transport which was also able to perform well in club races and rallies In post-WWII Britain, steel allocation to manufacturers was based on export performance, and Jowett cannily aimed the Jupiter at the American market hoping to fill the gap left by MG, and happily it was a success with its elegant styling and swooping lines. Jowett eventually sold the factory to International Harvester for tractor assembly, however a total of around 900 Jupiters had been built with the last Mk.1a finding a home on the 17th.of September,1954 Offered here is Phil Greens' (Jowett's ex-chief test driver) own Jupiter Convertible. He worked for Jowett between 1951 and 1953 and the history file contains a published account titled, ''My time in Jowett Cars Experimental Department''. In 2014, when Phil was 85, his son decided to re-home the Jupiter as his father admitted to be getting a little too old to enjoy her. It has been restored to a very good standard and is very well known in Jowett circles attending many club events. It was used on the first 'Jupitour' to Le Mans in 2000. Prior to that, the restoration was conducted by the highly respected Dennis Sparrow with the bodywork restored by Reece Brothers. MoT'd until March 2016 and complete with its original maintenance manual and various pieces of editorial. With class winning pedigree at Le Mans three years running, this super fifties convertible represents great value. Just lovely and ready to enjoy.

1973 Austin Mini 850 Van

Lot # 321 (Sale Order: 23 of 53)

Make: AustinYear: 1973Registration: APO 882LChassis Number: XAV1805432AEngine Number: 85H387EH155940Estimate - Range: 10000 - 15000

The original Mini had three major UK updates, the Mark II, the Clubman and the Mark III. Within the range there were a number of variations, including a Traveller estate, a pick-up truck, a van and the Mini Moke. From 1960 to 1982, a commercial (Quarter Ton) panel van was offered and was built on the longer Traveller chassis but without the side windows. It proved popular in 1960's Britain as a cheaper alternative to the car as it was classed as a commercial vehicle and, as such, carried no sales tax. A set of simple stamped steel slots served in place of a more costly chrome grille. The Mini Van was utilized by small businesses, delivery drivers, the Police and the AA alike. It was hugely adaptable, reliable and, of course, distinctive. This three owner, low mileage example was purchased new from Hares Garage of Little Hampton, Sussex by Mr. W L Smith who kept the car until August 1999. Mr. Graham Ernest then purchased the little van with the intention of fully restoring it to a high standard including a full body rebuild and respray, planning to use the charismatic vehicle as an advertising tool for his business. The full restoration was completed in 2001, and when the Mini Van was finished and ready for the road, it was put through its MoT Test and then straight into dry storage due a change in the owners circumstances. Bought by the current vendor in November 2009, this car has since resided in his dry storage unit with very limited use. The comprehensive history file contains the original bill of sale (£648), Austin Morris passport to service, service bills, handbook and old MoTs verifying the odometer reading of 24,000 miles. It would benefit from a little light re-commissioning before going back into regular road use and would make an excellent advertising tool or indeed enhance a Mini collection. It comes with its V5 and the current vendor will MOT the car before the auction. Everyone loves a Mini Van and this is an honest, low mileage example that is ready to be fettled and then enjoyed.

1973 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2

Lot # 322 (Sale Order: 24 of 53)

Make: FerrariYear: 1973Registration: SPD 606LChassis Number: F101AL17175Engine - Displacement: 4390Cylinders: 12-Cyl.Transmission Type/Speeds: ManualEstimate - Range: 0 - 0

In 1972, at the Paris Auto Salon, Ferrari unveiled an all new series to the world. It was a fast, svelte and elegant 2+2 powered by the classic VI2 engine, and through various iterations remained the most expensive model in Ferrari's range for the next 17 years. First available as the 365 GT4 2+2, it was followed in later years by the 400 and 412 series, with production ending in 1989. The 365 GT4 2+2 is easily distinguished from its stable mates by its six rear tail lights, knock off alloy wheels and lack of a front spoiler and 521 were produced between 1972 and 1976, only 55 being in right-hand drive. The bodies were formed and fully trimmed at the Pininfarina works in Turin, and then shipped to the Ferrari factory in Maranello for the installation of the mechanical components. Under the bonnet, Ferrari squeezed in their 4.4 litre V12 unit producing 340bhp at 7000rpm, making it , at the time, the world's most potent full four-seater. Despite its 1450 kilos, the car sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds and was capable of a top speed of 155 mph. This wonderful example was owned in the early 1980s by none other than boxing legend Sir Henry Cooper. Famous for his knockdown of the young Muhammad Ali, they became great friends, as titans and two of the greatest boxers in the world. Following his retirement from the sport, 'Our Enry' continued his career as a television and radio personality, and to date is the only boxer to be awarded a knighthood. He loved his cars, was a great motor sport enthusiast and at one point did some Club racing alongside his great friend Graham Hill. A copy of the V5 shows Henry as the keeper, listing his home address in Hendon, North London. Numerous marque specialists have also known this car as 'Enry's Ferrari'. Fast forward to the present day, this 60,000 mile car presents beautifully, finished in Rosso with complementing immaculate tan hide. The substantial history file, with lots of receipts and MoTs dating from 1986, shows significant ongoing maintenance over the years and the car is currently MoT'd until March 2016. A full toolkit and jack also accompany the car. The current vendor recently instructed marque specialists to carry out brake calliper and clutch works, ensuring that this elegant bruiser is boxing clever. It should be noted that this car has the pedigree of the prancing horse, the presence of a heavyweight and the provenance to ensure it is a sound investment as well as a driver's car, and is on offer at No Reserve.

When Pierce Brosnan, aka James Bond, stepped out of his Ian Callum designed Vanquish in the 2002 film, 'Die Another Day', the legend was born and immediately every car enthusiast throughout the world wanted the successor to the Virage. The 6.0 litre V12 produced 450bhp, the car had an early 'flappy paddle' electrohydraulic manual gearbox, fly by wire throttle and, of course, looks to die for! The Aston Martin legend as the ultimate British sports car was set to continue. This car was first registered in March 2003 as a '2 plus 2' model and specified in Aston Green with a Forest Green top roll, Parchment leather seats and Parchment Alcantara headlining making the cabin a very light and pleasant place to be. The original specification included sat-nav, Linn hi-fi, black calipers, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, heated front windscreen and power fold mirrors and, importantly, was upgraded with a 'Sports Dynamic Pack' in 2004 at a cost of nearly £15,000. This included Vanquish 'S' uprated brakes, wheels and suspension. The comprehensive service history lists only main dealers and is an excellent insight into the care and attention that this car has enjoyed throughout its coveted life.
