1955 Morris Minor SII 'Split Screen' Convertible Conversion

Lot #1 (Sale Order 1 of 109)

- Dry stored as part of a private collection in recent years. Running and driving but in need of recommissioning / fettling - Believed but not warranted to have been converted by the Morris Minor Centre of Greatford, Lincs whose sticker adorns its rear window - Patinated Red upholstery, later 948cc OHV engine, previously UK reg'd as 'YSK 579' Designed by Alec Issigonis, the Morris Minor remained in production from 1948 to 1971 endearing itself to generations of motorists along the way. According to its chassis number this particular example began life as a two-door Series II Saloon. Part of a County Wexford based collection for many years, it had been reconfigured as a Convertible prior to acquisition. It is not known who carried out the work, however, the presence of a 'Morris Minor Centre of Greatford, Lincs' sticker in its plastic back window suggests that they may well have been responsible. As well as exchanging its 'tin top' for a 'soft top' the four-seater has been upgraded with a later and more powerful A-series OHV four-cylinder engine. Flashing indicators have been added for safety and the dashboard updated too. The red interior trim is tired as is the vinyl roof which will need repairing or replacing. Starting readily upon inspection, the Morris felt OK with regard to its clutch and brakes but will need recommissioning prior to road use. A highly affordable and appealing four-seater Convertible. Not one for the purists but potentially great fun nonetheless. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

As tested by Motor magazine, the Elite was capable of sprinting to 60mph in around 7.8 seconds and on to a top speed of around 125mph. The handsome interior was the work of Giugiaro.

1963 Ford Zodiac MKIII

Lot #3 (Sale Order 3 of 109)

- Genuine 40,000 miles from new with substantial history file including 19 MOTs - Recent expenditure includes new carburettor, fresh tyres (x4), auto gearbox overhaul and engine top end refurbishment - Said to 'drive well and never welded', MOT tested until September 2017 This very smartly-presented automatic transmission example of Ford's third generation Zodiac has apparently covered just 40,302 miles from new - an average of around 750 miles a year! Finished in White with a Red roof and interior trim, it is presently regarded by the vendor as having 'good' bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, straight-six engine and gearbox. He adds that the Ford is 'very reliable, drives well and its automatic gearbox changes as it should'. Within the last four years '5523 RU' has been treated to a new carburettor, a top-end engine and gearbox overhaul and four fresh tyres, and is now being sold complete with a two inch thick folder of invoices and no less than 19 old MOTs, plus a current one valid to September 27. Now a very rare sight on our roads, the MKIII Zodiac was Ford's top of the range model from 1962 to 1966 and would have cost c.£1000 to buy new.

1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II

Lot #4 (Sale Order 4 of 109)

- Finished in dark blue with grey leather upholstery - Offered with original owners wallet with handbooks and well stamped service book - Described as having "excellent" engine, transmission, electrical equipment and interior trim Successor to the long-running Silver Cloud, the Silver Shadow was launched in October 1965 although development prototypes had been testing since the summer of 1957. However, early models were quite rightly criticised for having somewhat woolly handling with appreciable amounts of body roll and despite minor improvements over the years the first major attempt to make the Silver Shadow more of a driver's car came with the launch of the Silver Shadow II in March 1977. This Shadow II is finished in dark blue with grey leather upholstery and is described by the vendor as being "excellent" with regards to the engine, transmission, electrical equipment, and interior trim with "very good" paintwork and bodywork. Offered with a collection of old MOT certificates and owners wallet with handbooks and well stamped service book this potentially inexpensive entry to the exclusive world of Rolls-Royce motoring is offered for sale with an MOT certificate showing no advisories valid until May 2018.

1969 Triumph 2000 Saloon

Lot #5 (Sale Order 5 of 109)

Triumph's big Michelotti-penned Saloon was manufactured from 1963 to 1977. Of robust construction, it was quickly turned into a rally car, both by the Works team and private individuals. The most famous result was the 2nd/4th places of the 2.5PI version on the 1970 London To Mexico World Cup Rally, but plenty of other successes were achieved by both the 2000 and 2.5PI, spawning numerous evocations of which 'BPO 375G' is one. A 1969 model 2000, it is finished in 'Works' Blue, trimmed in Blue cloth and rides on Minilite-style wheels. The subject of an older restoration, it features a stage 1 tuned engine, stiffened and lowered suspension, period-style wing mirrors, and five auxiliary front lights. The vendor classes most aspects of the car as 'good', and believes the indicated mileage of 39,000 miles to be genuine, and is selling the Triumph complete with its original bumpers and an MOT valid to June 14, 2018.

1958 Fiat 600 Multipla

Lot #6 (Sale Order 6 of 109)

- Ground breaking MPV design able to accommodate six people despite its 2m wheelbase - Reportedly displayed in a Dutch microcar museum before journeying to Eire via Poland - Running and driving but in need of extensive restoration Introduced at the January 1956 Brussels Salon, the Fiat 600 Multipla was ingeniously packaged. Despite sitting on a two metre wheelbase, the newcomer could accommodate up to six people. Borrowing the independent double wishbone front suspension and steering set-up from the Fiat 1100 but otherwise utilising the same rear suspension, 663cc OHV engine and four-speed manual transmission (albeit with a lower final drive) as its 600 saloon sibling, the Multipla could be had in 4/5-seater, 6-seater or Taxi guises. Road tested by Motor magazine, the ground breaking MPV was found to be capable of 57mph and 38mpg. Updated to 600D specification in 1960, the Multipla remained in production until the decade's end. Finished in Dark Blue over White with Black upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example is self-evidently a restoration project. Understood to have been displayed in a Dutch microcar museum before journeying to Eire via Poland, it is a six-seater version the rear two rows of which fold flat. Currently running and driving, this characterful Fiat is described by the vendor as being in 'poor' (bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment), 'average' (interior trim) or 'good' (engine, gearbox) condition.

1930 Morris Minor OHC Coachbuilt Saloon

Lot #7 (Sale Order 7 of 109)

- Rare surviving Coachbuilt Saloon complete with folding 'Kopalapso' roof - Advanced overhead camshaft engine inspired by a WW1 aeronautical Hispano-Suiza design and shared with the MG M-Type sports car - The subject of much past restoration work but pleasingly retains its original rubber running board inserts and 'cammy' engine etc - Brown leatherette upholstery, opening windscreen, brand new 12volt dynamo Introduced at the October 1928 Olympia Motor Show, the Morris Minor was conceived as an altogether more sophisticated rival to the Austin 7. Influenced by a Hispano-Suiza World War I aero engine design, the newcomer's advanced overhead camshaft 850cc four-cylinder powerplant was shared with the MG M-Type sports car. Like a big car in miniature, the Minor featured a ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Available with a choice of open or closed bodywork, the coachbuilt steel saloon derivative was elegant, practical and well-finished. It could also be specified with a fold-back 'Kopalapso' roof for those who wanted to augment the airflow offered by the standard fit opening windscreen. Faced with a marginal per unit profit margin and instances of oil leaking down the drive shaft from the camshaft bevel into the dynamo (a non-issue these days thanks to modern 'O' rings), Morris decided to launch a cheaper sidevalve version during 1931. Thus, just 39,087 'Cammy' Minors were produced over a four-year production run. Finished in Maroon over Black with Brown leatherette upholstery, this particular Coachbuilt Saloon example sports a winged calormeter, 'Kopalapso' fold-back roof, rear-mounted spare wheel and what appear to be the original rubber inserts to its running boards. First road registered as 'WE 9758' by Sheffield County Council on 14th October 1930, the diminutive four-seater has self-evidently been treated to much past restoration work. Further improved by the vendor thanks to the installation of a new 12-volt dynamo, the Morris started readily upon inspection and looks to pleasingly retain its factory-fitted engine (number U29724). A quite delightful Vintage Saloon, this rare surviving 'Cammy' Minor is offered for sale with workshop manual and original instruction book.

1926 Morris Cowley 'Bullnose' Tourer

Lot #8 (Sale Order 8 of 109)

- Dispatched by Morris Motors from their Cowley Works on May 31st 1926 - First road registered as 'EY 2961' by Anglesey County Council on October 14th 1926 - Still fitted with its original engine (number 168519) and 'on the button' - Acquired by its last registered keeper in 1978 and known to The Bullnose Morris Club since then - Treated to much restoration and maintenance work over the past 39 years William Morris and Hans Landstad are said to have conceived the Cowley as a companion model to the Oxford whilst aboard the 'Mauretania' ocean liner in August 1914. Their transatlantic foray was to secure a supply of engines from Continental of Detroit at £18 each. After WW1, Morris had the Cowley's redoubtable four-cylinder sidevalve engine made by the French Hotchkiss Company's Coventry plant. According to a letter on file from the Registrar of The Bullnose Morris Club, Mrs Margaret Goding, this particular example was built on May 21st 1926. Known to the Club since 1978 when Gareth Morgan of Caernarfon brought its survival to their attention, the Morris remains registered in his name to this day. Accompanying invoices from The Cooke Group and others show that Mr Morgan spent a considerable time restoring the car. Indeed, it was not until September 1st 2001 that the DVLA re-registered the two-seater plus dickey for road use. Research done via the Anglesey County Record Office allowed him to reunite the Morris with its original 'EY 2961' number plate some five years later. Pleasingly retaining its factory-fitted engine (number 168519), the Cowley started readily upon inspection. Finished in Blue over Black with Blue upholstery and a Black hood, the Bullnose now presents as an older restoration. Nicely detailed, it sports a calormeter mascot, side-mounted spare wheel, klaxon horn, spare fuel can and four-wheel drum brakes. The Vintage Sports Car Club Eligibility Document which the Morris was issued with during April 2007 lists its engine crankcase, gearbox casing, back axle casing, front axle and chassis as all being original. The Bullnose Morris remains among Britain's favourite Vintage cars and looking over 'EY 2961' it is not hard to see why! Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, correspondence dating back to 1979, numerous bills and assorted old MOTs / tax discs.

1950 Jaguar MK V 3.5 Litre Saloon

Lot #9 (Sale Order 9 of 109)

- Heritage Certificate and detailed history file - Repainted in Ivory White retaining the original tan interior - Carburettors and dynamo rebuilt, said to drive "very well" Jaguar's post-war offering remained largely unchanged until the 1948 Motor Show which, though forever associated with the launch of the sensational XK120 Roadster, also saw the unveiling of the MKV range of Saloons and Drophead Coupes. Though stylistically evolved from the MKIVs, the MKVs were based on an all-new box-section chassis. They also featured the independent front suspension set-up that William Heynes had begun developing in the 1930s, which comprised double wishbones and torsion bar springing. Braking was now hydraulically operated. Unlike the XK120 that featured the all new DOHC XK engine, power for MKV models was supplied by the OHV six-cylinder 2.5 and 3.5-litre units from the MKIV, the output of which was 104 and 126bhp respectively. The new all-steel body had a much more contemporary appearance, courtesy of its squatter radiator grille, more heavily raked windscreen, faired in headlights, 16 (as opposed to 18 inch) wheels, deeper bumpers, rear wheel spats etc. A 3.5-litre example tested by The Motor in 1949 recorded 20.4 seconds for the dash to 60mph and a top speed of 90mph. Originally finished in black, NHU 743 was supplied new via Henleys Ltd of London in 1950. The car was repainted in Ivory White in 1980 and retains its original Tan leather interior. A very well-maintained example, it has covered just c.105,000 miles in its 67 year life, the vendor informing us the car "drives very well", having been subject to a recent carburettor and dynamo overhaul together with the fitment of new engine mounts. The 3.5 litre engine is coupled to the original four speed transmission whilst starting is aided by an aftermarket electric choke. Offered with Swansea V5C, original owner's manual, Heritage Certificate and a detailed history file which includes many previous invoices and old MOTs.

1950 Austin A90 Atlantic Convertible

Lot #10 (Sale Order 10 of 109)

- Part of a private collection for many years. Currently running but would benefit from recommissioning / fettling - 1 of just 3,718 made and resident in Eire since 1995 (previously UK reg'd as 'GCA 570') - Black upholstery piped in red, older restoration, 10,555 unwarranted miles Aimed squarely at the American market, the Austin A90 Atlantic Convertible was a brave gamble that did not pay off. Intended to generate a steady flow of US dollars and so satisfy the British government's ruthless 'export or die' edict, its flamboyant steel bodywork was a riot of bulbous curves, swooping lines and chrome accents. Launched at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Atlantic was underpinned by a rigid cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 2660cc OHV four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed column-change manual transmission, it was more boulevardier than sports car. Not that this stopped Austin from pounding one round the Indianapolis Speedway for seven days non-stop! A feat that not only underlined the model's 92mph top speed but also yielded an impressive sixty-three stock car records (the convertible in question managing to average 70.54mph including all stops over its marathon 168-hour run). Although, joined by a companion Sports Saloon in September 1949, the Atlantic failed to capture the American public's imagination or wallets (its failure ironically being blamed on a lack of 'Britishness'). Thus, by the time production ceased in 1952 just 7,981 are thought to have been made (3,718 'soft-tops' and 4,263 'tin-tops') Forming part of a County Wexford based collection for the past twenty-two years, this particular example was previously UK registered as 'GCA 570'. Understood to have been repainted from Red to its current Old English White livery during 1994, the Austin sports Black upholstery piped in Red and a Black hood. Presenting as an older restoration, the A90 Atlantic was seemingly last driven for any real distance in Eire during 2010. Running upon inspection, it would nevertheless benefit from recommissioning prior to road use (the petrol smelt notably stale).

1910 Talbot 4AB Waggonette

Lot #11 (Sale Order 11 of 109)

Cl£ment-Talbot (later just Talbot and then Sunbeam-Talbot) was a British manufacturer based in North Kensington, London. Founded in 1903 by a syndicate financed by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, it initially offered cars assembled from components produced by the French company Cl£ment-Bayard, but the percentage of British-made content was quickly increased. As befitted the times, Talbot went on to manufacture a wide variety of models powered by engines ranging from a diminutive 7hp twin-cylinder unit to a mighty 60hp four-cylinder one. The brand's heyday was arguably the early '30s when the Fox & Nicholl-prepared 105 and 110 team cars fared so well in racing. This fascinating 12hp Talbot was apparently delivered in chassis form to The Western Motor Company of Glasgow in February 1910, and is known to have served in France as an ambulance during WWI. The current rear entry Waggonnette body is presumed to have been a post-1918 addition and was fitted to the car when it was unearthed in Scotland during the 1970s. A restoration ensued and the refurbished Talbot is understood to have featured in the 1978 film version of the Thirty-Nine Steps. 'HS 316' is finished in Cream over Brown and trimmed in imitation Brown leather. The venerable Waggonnette remained in its previous ownership from 1986 until 2015, when it was purchased by the vendor at our October Duxford sale. He has subsequently fully overhauled the engine and gearbox and fitted a starter motor, and presently views the coachwork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and transmission as all being in 'good' order. Having enjoyed the Talbot both on the road and in a VCC rally, he's sadly come to the conclusion he's 'too old' for such pastimes. 'HS 316' is therefore now offered complete with Veteran Car Club of Great Britain dating certificate and at No Reserve. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1943 Ford GPW Jeep

Lot #12 (Sale Order 12 of 109)

- Part of a private collection for the last ten years and used at various Goodwood Revival meetings - Treated to an extensive 'chassis up, body off' restoration by a previous keeper - UK road registered since 1960 and understood to be ex-British Armed Forces Arguably more iconic than a Sherman Tank or P-51 Mustang, the Jeep is for many the definitive WW2 vehicle. Equipped with a torquey L-headed 2.2-litre engine driving all four wheels via a three-speed manual box and two-speed transfer case, the tough, go anywhere four-seater did its job exceptionally well. By the end of the war, 647,870 Jeeps had been produced - 281,448 of which were manufactured by Ford. According to a brass Ministry of Supply plaque affixed to its inner wing, this particular example - chassis GPW95571 - previously bore the British military registration number '19-YH-26' and was treated to an overhaul in March 1955 (some four years before the Ministry was disbanded). Demobbed and granted the civilian number plate XOR 633' by Hampshire County Council on 8th February 1960, photographs on file suggest that the Jeep underwent a chassis up, body off' restoration in the past. Accompanying invoices from Jeep & Dodge Specialist Dallas Auto Parts of Newbury show that penultimate keeper M. Haynes had them overhaul the brake system, fit a new engine timing chain, carry out a total rewiring, install a new winter canvas kit and supply a new dynamo etc between 1999 and 2004. Subsequent custodian Christopher Golding of Bristol is understood to have further improved the Ford before selling it to the vendor in 2007. Part of an impressive private collection for the past decade, XOR 633' has been used to entertain his grandchildren and as period transport at the Goodwood Revival etc. The springs have been exchanged, a transfer case oil leak cured and the engine overhauled in 2014 (reground crankshaft, re-honed bores, new pistons / rings / valves) but otherwise he has not had cause to touch the Jeep which still presents very well. Among the smarter examples we have encountered and boasting a UK history that dates back to the 1950s, it has charm aplenty! PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1933 Lincoln Model KA Town Sedan

Lot #13 (Sale Order 13 of 109)

- Understood to have been restored between the '70s and '90s - A credible 50,852 recorded miles - Potential demand for use in TV and film work This splendid, lefthand drive, matching numbers V12 Lincoln is understood to be #93 of just 201 1933 KA models built in the 514 body style by Murray, so thought by now to be a pretty rare example. With huge street presence, that evokes scenes from the famous film and TV series The Untouchables, concerning the prohibition era of America, 'YWG 366' is finished in the striking combination of Black and Red and trimmed in Beige cloth. The restoration apparently carried out between the '70s and '90s would appear to have been of a high standard and has stood the test of time well, such that the car is currently regarded by the vendor as having: 'excellent' 6.3-litre engine and three-speed manual transmission, 'very good to excellent' bodywork and 'good' paintwork and interior trim. The Lincoln has only resided in the UK since last year and, while its early history is unknown, is understood to have belonged to a Kansas-based enthusiast from 1975 before moving to Colorado in 1987 and then Atlanta in 1999, where it had two consecutive keepers. The indicated mileage of 50,852 is undocumented, but it is certainly credible bearing in mind the Lincoln's current condition. The vendor apparently used it for his son's wedding and one can imagine there being plenty of potential demand for its use in similar events or TV and film work. Alternatively it would make a great addition to any private collection. Lincoln's K Series cars were produced from 1931 to 1940 and could be purchased with factory bodies or bespoke coachwork like the sale car. The KA model was initially powered by an L-head V8 engine of 6.3-litres but this was superseded by a V12 unit of almost identical capacity for 1933 in order to compete with similarly-engined rivals from Cadillac, Rolls-Royce etc. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1966 Jaguar MK II

Lot #14 (Sale Order 14 of 109)

- Treated to an extensive restoration in 2008 that included a bare metal respray - Interior retrim by B.W Cates of Bournemouth and new wire wheels in 2012 - Offered with a collection of invoices, MOT's and photographs of the restoration Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its MKI forebear, the immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Its monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well-located live rear axle, 12-inch disc brakes all round and recirculating ball steering. The model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's race-proved, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, comprehensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. The attention to detail and build quality of the MKII were remarkable for the price being asked (just £1,779 0s 10d including taxes even for the 3.8) - these cars punched above their weight. Equipped with the 220bhp 3.8-litre engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph - small wonder that it was the first choice of both bank robbers and the police of the period! It was also extremely popular with the public, outselling its smaller-engined siblings, with 30,141 being produced between 1959 and 1967. 'KGK 34D' is a right-hand drive 1966 Jaguar MKII which left the factory as a 3.8 litre model fitted with the desirable four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox. It was reportedly treated to an extensive restoration in 2008 that included a bare metal respray and overhaul of its replacement 3.4 litre MKII engine. Having received an interior retrim in 2012 by B.W Cates of Bournemouth and new wire wheels, the vendor now regards the bodywork, paintwork, trim, engine and gearbox as all being in "very good" order and is offering the Jaguar with a collection of invoices and old MOT's, photographs of the restoration and a current MOT certificate into July 2018.

1974 BMW 3.0 CSi

Lot #15 (Sale Order 15 of 109)

- 63,000 recorded miles, 5 previous keepers and MOT'd into March 2018 - Subject to an extensive bodywork restoration, glass out re-repaint and re-trimmed boot - Fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust, refurbished wheels shod with fresh tyres BMW's so called 'New Class' compact Saloons and Coupes manufactured between 1962 and 1975 quite simply saved the company from extinction. Introduced in 1965, the 2000C and 2000CS Coupes featured distinctive-looking Karmann-built bodies and luxurious interiors and, having set a trend, were superseded in 1968 by the first of the E9 Coupes - the 2800CS. The length and wheelbase of the newcomer were extended to accommodate the 2788cc straight-six engine from the E3 Saloon, and the nose of the Karmann monocoque body was restyled to echo that of its four-door sibling. The 170bhp of the new, silky smooth powerplant was sufficient to propel the handsome Coupe to 60mph in 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of a whisker under 130mph. The fully independent suspension was by MacPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear. Braking was still by disc/drums and the steering by a power-assisted ball and nut system. The 2800CS was supplanted by the 3.0CS and 3.0CSi in 1971, for which the engine was bored out to give a capacity of 2986cc - in fuel-injected CSi guise, this produced 200bhp at 5,000rpm. Finished in Silver with Blue velour interior, 'XGT 454N' displays a credible but unwarranted 62,539 miles and has just been treated to an extensive bodywork restoration, glass out re-repaint and re-trimmed boot. Fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust, electronic ignition and riding on refurbished wheels shod with fresh tyres, the BMW is understood to have benefited from a brake overhaul in c.2011 before entering the current ownership. Recently serviced, the 3.0CSi is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition with regard to its bodywork, engine, gearbox, interior, electrical equipment and paintwork. Offered with V5C, collection of invoices, BMW certificate and tool kit, this stylish coupe is offered with a MOT certificate into March 2018.

Capable of 120mph, it immediately assumed the mantle of the world's fastest production car. The Fixed Head Coupe followed in 1951 followed by the Drophead Coupe in 1953. The key to the newcomer's sensational performance was its all-new, alloy-headed DOHC 3.4-litre, straight-six engine; the basic design of which successfully powered a range of Jaguars until the late '80s. The suspension was independent by wishbones and torsion bars at the front and by live axle on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking courtesy of Lockheed hydraulic drums all round. The ever-rising prices of original XK120s have inevitably swelled the market for copies, and this immaculate right-hand drive example is a Roadster evocation manufactured by the respected Nostalgia concern of Taunton, Somerset. This smart looking example is finished in light blue matched to a dark blue interior. It's understood the donor vehicle was a 1977 Jaguar XJ6 Series Two 4.2 litre and 'VSU 120' was completed in 2013 and subsequently IVA tested and registered in 2014. Offered with history file comprising of a collection of invoices, build manual, V5C and a current MOT certificate, the vendor currently grades the car as having "excellent" bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and manual gearbox.

Just an extremely small percentage of that number that left the factory with the steering wheel installed on the right hand side of the dashboard, such as this car. It appears from the copy of the Zimbabwean registration document that we have that the car was originally registered in Italy on EE export plates and then registered in Zimbabwe in January 1966. It was not uncommon for people working in foreign countries to purchase their Italian cars in Italy, collect them from the factory, and then drive or travel with them to their place of work, and that is possibly the exiting start in life that this Flavia had. According to the English vendor, after spending the majority of its life at nearly 5,000 feet above sea level in the dry area of Salisbury (now Harare), Zimbabwe, he acquired the car in 1993 while living in Zimbabwe. An aircraft engineer and pilot by profession, the vendor was easily qualified to tackle the restoration on the car, and during the work between 1995 and 1998, he sensibly strengthened the apparently notoriously weak sills in the process. When the vendor and his wife returned to England in 2015 for their retirement, the Flavia tagged along and was registered with the DVLA in September of that year. Conveniently, the UK's leading Lancia specialist was just down the road from their new home so the car was taken to Omicron Engineering for inspection and preparation for MOT and UK registration. Over the following six months more than £12,000 was spent on various jobs including overhauling the cylinder heads, steering box, water pump, brake servo and brake master cylinder, and having the fuel tank professionally cleaned inside and sealed. The vendor believes that the car is now ready to be enjoyed as Lancia intended and he describes the car as having "excellent" body and paint work, and engine and transmission.

1968 Chevrolet Camaro 327 Convertible

Lot #18 (Sale Order 18 of 109)

- 327 V8, Powerglide automatic transmission and electric hood - 74,633 miles, original colours of white with blue stripes, power steering - Extremely smart example of this rare option convertible Concerned at the runaway success of Ford's pony car, the ubiquitous Mustang, General Motors brought the first generation Camaro to market in the September of 1966. It was based on a new rear-wheel drive platform and shared both that and a variety of other major components with the Pontiac Firebird. The 2+2 was available as a two-door Coupe or Convertible and came with a choice of six powerplants, from a 4.1-litre straight six to a 6.5-litre V8, and three trim and tuning packages - RS, SS and Z28. Like Ford, Chevrolet believed the old adage that 'whatever won on Sunday sold on Monday' and wasted little time in taking to the tracks. In the US, this meant contesting the SCCA-sanctioned Trans-Am Series. Working with Roger Penske, they operated an unofficially factory-backed team, winning the title outright with Mark Donohue at the wheel. Imported to the UK in 2012 from sunny Florida, this rare and unmolested Camaro 327 is finished in its original colour scheme of white with blue stripes complimented by a blue interior and white electric roof. Powered by a 327 V8 (5343cc) matched to Powerglide automatic transmission, options include power steering and the car rides on its correct pattern wheels. The subject of a suspension overhaul c.2012, it presents extremely well with "very good" paintwork and "excellent" bodywork. Used sparingly in the current ownership it is accompanied by a Swansea V5 document, MoT to 30th April 2018, import documentation and assorted expired MoTs confirming the mileage of c.74,600.

1951 HRG 1500 Four-Seater Tourer

Lot #19 (Sale Order 19 of 109)

According to Ian Dussek's definitive work HRG, The Sportsman's Ideal', it was the return home of Antipodean WW2 flying ace F.A.O. Tony' Gaze in 1947 and his subsequent success aboard one of the first three HRG Aerodynamic models that helped the Tolworth-based marque get a toehold in the Australian market. Gaze joined the Melbourne firm of Brown & Dureau for 1949 and persuaded his new employer to import ten Aerodynamic chassis to be bodied locally. Some purchasers opted for single-seater coachwork but Brown & Dureau are reported to have commissioned Gordon Stewart of Sydney to clothe chassis W185 as a four-seater Tourer. Looking not unlike a pre-WW2 Aston Martin or Lagonda, the resultant machine was reputedly rallied by multiple Australian Grand Prix winner Doug Whiteford and Reg Nutt before Brown & Dureau sold it to John P. Ward of Toorak on 21st February 1952. Thereafter, the HRG passed through the hands of Alexander Fraser, Archibald Johnston Jnr (who used it to contest the Moomba Tourist Trophy at Albert Park on March 26th 1955), Francis Kolbe, Alroy Car Sales, Michael Thomas, Lesley Palmer, Le Mans Motors and David Eggleton. The latter acquired chassis W185 on 7th August 1956 and kept it for over fifty years. Laid-up during the 1960s and displayed at the National Automobile Museum of Tasmania for a time, the HRG had been partially restored by the time it finally left Mr Eggleton's care in 2009. Mechanically overhauled, rewired, repainted and reupholstered by the time that previous keeper Keith Barker of Henley-on-Thames repatriated it five years ago, the four-seater was further improved during his tenure. Entrusted to Total Trim Solutions of Thatcham, the HRG gained a new hood, tonneau, hood bag and sidescreens (£5,815), while Fenn Motor Works Ltd of Reading overhauled its starter motor (£634.40). Marles Steering Boxes of Hamnish supplied a new steering wheel, steering wheel boss and steering box complete with pitman arm (£6,054) not to mention five new Avon Tourist 550 x 16 tyres (£885). The same company got the dampers working properly and machined new hubs for the rear axle (£3,270). Benefiting from attention to its radiator and water pump since entering the current ownership in August last year, 375 YUP' is pleasingly understood to still retain its factory-fitted chassis, 1500cc Singer engine, gearbox and differential. The sole HRG known to have been bodied as a four-seater when new, chassis W185 has the added advantage of period competition history. Illustrated on p.318 of Mr Dussek's marque history, it is offered for sale with original Australian Owner's Certificate (dating from 1951), UK V5C Registration Document and numerous bills / invoices. An elegant and extremely rare sportscar and seemingly the only one which allows the Hurg' experience to be shared with more than one friend or family member!

1955 MG TF 1500

Lot #20 (Sale Order 20 of 109)

- Extensive marque specialist restoration between 2009 and 2011 - Overhauled engine, suspension and braking systems - Five-speed gearbox, re-trimmed interior and full weather equipment By mid-1950, a MKII version of the MG TD was produced alongside the standard car. It featured a range of optional upgrades including: raised compression ratio of 8:1, twin fuel pumps, revised dampers, higher final drive ratio etc, and it was this specification on which the TF of 1953 was based. Though examples are now highly sought after, the newcomer was in fact an interim model pending the arrival of the all new MGA. Fared-in headlights and a sloping radiator grille ensured more modern looks, while a new pressurised cooling system meant the external radiator cap was now a dummy. For 1954 engine capacity was enlarged to 1466cc, endowing the car with an extra 6bhp. Models fitted with this new so-called XPEG engine were dubbed TF1500s. The model gave way to the MG A in April 1955 after a total of 9,602 TFs had been produced, 3,400 of which were 1500s. Like many T Series MGs, '391 YUB' started life as a US export and was converted to righthand drive as part of an extensive marque specialist restoration between 2009 and 2011. This included: a new body tub and attendant steel panels from The Hutson Motor Company; an overhaul of the engine, suspension and braking systems; the installation of a five-speed gearbox; a retrim of the interior; and all new weather equipment. Finished in the contrasting combination of Red bodywork and Cream interior trim, the TF has apparently only driven 2500 miles since the work was completed. The vendor unsurprisingly currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order. He informs us that, while the car has been issued with a DVLA chassis number, the correct one is HDB26/9985, as confirmed by the T Register. This handsome-looking MG comes complete with a collection of invoices and photos of the restoration. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

Lot #21 (Sale Order 21 of 109)

- A very special 300SL with only 24,400 miles from new - Comprehensive history file containing a detailed usage log, copies of previous V5's, approximately 15 previous MOT certificates, and old tax discs - Long-term ownerships by Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, it is reported to retain its original tyres and front brake pads Within the volumous history file for this 300SL lies a note book that the forth owner used to fanatically document every journey they did in the car, noting the mileage covered, the reason for the journey, and the weather conditions. However, the first owner was apparently a Matthew Giles who bought E866 DPC (as it was registered then) new on August 1st 1987 and owned it until October 1992. Ownership then passed to someone from West London, but after five months it is believed to have been repossessed by the finance company and then stored for fourteen months while the hard top was retrieved. In May 1994 it was purchased by a Roger Thomas of Devon and registered with his number plate RCT 8. A copy of a maintenance invoice from this time records the mileage at about 17,300 miles. Mr Thomas seemed to struggle with the lack of space in the SL and after travelling about 1,600 miles removed RCT 8 from the car and placed an advert in the Sunday Times expressing an interest in taking a saloon car in part exchange. E660 DTT was purchased by John Earl in October 1994, the fourth owner, and was clearly cherished. He moved to Hull in May 2004 and after the car was unused during 2005 and 2006 he entered it into our auction at Duxford in October 2007. It was acquired by our Mercedes-Benz enthusiast vendor who has covered just 1,300 miles during his ten years of ownership. While not in use the SL has shared a garage in Kensington, London, with a beautiful Mercedes-Benz from the 1960's. Accompanying the car are Mr Earl's usage log book, copies of previous registration documents, about fifteen previous MOT certificates, old tax discs, a hand book and duplicate service book, a Sunday Times newspaper featuring the SL's 1994 advertisement, a 1994 maintenance invoice, a sales invoice from Mr Thomas to Mr Earl, and a spare set of keys. Low mileage SL's are a rare find and this special car would be a wonderful addition to any enthusiasts garage. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1937 MG TA

Lot #22 (Sale Order 22 of 109)

- Built on 19th May 1937 and supplied new to Australia - Repatriated from Melbourne by the vendor in 2000 and treated to an extensive refurbishment by Classic Restorations Ltd of Alyth the following year - Original engine overhauled by Agra Engineering of Dundee. Part of a private MG collection since 2000 The first of the famous MG T-series line, the TA was introduced in 1936. Larger, faster and more comfortable than its PB predecessor, the newcomer was powered by a MPJG 1292cc OHV engine that developed some 50bhp @ 4,800rpm. Allied to four-speed manual transmission, it endowed the two-seater with a nigh on 80mph top speed. Traditionalists may have decried the adoption of a less exotic powerplant, insulating rubber engine mounts and - after a while - synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears but the TA had accounted for 3,003 sales by the time production ceased in 1939. According to the T-Register's (www.tregister.org) production record search facility, this particular example - chassis number 'TA 1400' - was built on 19th May 1937. Reportedly supplied new to Australia and repatriated from Melbourne by the vendor during 2000, the right-hand drive tourer was entrusted to Classic Restorations Ltd of Alyth, Perthshire the following year for 'an extensive, body off, chassis up restoration'. Finished in striking two-tone Dark Metallic Green, the two-seater is also understood to have had its original MPJG engine thoroughly overhauled at the hands of Dundee-based Agra Engineering. To the interior, the green-piped red leather upholstery is complimented by dark green carpets and a wooden dashboard. Riding on red painted wire wheels and sporting a black hood, 'AAS 491' does not want for visual drama and appears as sharp as one might expect given the cost of its refurbishment alone was reputedly £25,000 (though, that figure would be dramatically higher today). Part of the vendor's MG collection for the past seventeen years, this handsome TA is variously rated by him as 'excellent' (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim), 'very good' (engine, electrical equipment) or 'good' (four-speed manual gearbox). He summarises 'AAS 491' as 'a fabulous example of a prewar MG T Series'. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1985 Porsche 928 S2

Lot #23 (Sale Order 23 of 109)

- Porsche Cars Great Britain 928 S2 press car - Recent maintenance includes new cam belt and fresh oil and filters - Offered with extensive service history Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche's front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Though about as different as could be from the ubiquitous 911 the newcomer was intended to replace, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of The Year Award. If the model had a problem, it was that it was signed off during one major fuel crisis and launched during the next. Nevertheless, production continued for no less than 18 years, by which time some 61,000 examples had been made. It remains one of the great grand touring cars of its era and, as values have been relatively slow to rise, good examples still represent great value in today's classic marketplace. This handsome, automatic transmission S2 example hails from 1985, and has an assured place in the history of the model, as it was first registered to Porsche Cars Great Britain and for some time served as their 928 press car, sporting the registration familiar to enthusiasts nationwide - THE 928S'. Featuring sparkling Crystal Metallic Green bodywork teamed with half leather interior trim in Green and Grey, and now wearing the registration B941 FGP', the Porsche is presently regarded by the vendor as having excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and four-speed transmission. Recent maintenance has included a new cam belt and related ancillaries, and fresh oil and filters. The car's comprehensive specification includes the original Blaupunkt SQ 46 radio/cassette, air conditioning and heated seats, and this historic 928 is now offered complete with: a large collection of books and magazines, including the Ultimate History of Porsche, in which the car featured during its road test days; DVLA keeper history (including Porsche GB); service book with main dealer and marque specialist stamps; owner's manual pack; and current MOT. An interesting proposition for Porschephiles everywhere. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

- Offered with its original wallet, handbooks and service book containing 20 entries - Current MOT certificate into June 2018 - Described as being "good" with regard to its engine, transmission, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork Introduced in Autumn 1975, the XJS replaced the immortal E-Type on the production lines and in the Jaguar catalogue. Powered by the famously silken 5343cc V12 engine, it was mainly specified with automatic transmission (a manual was available until 1979 but few were sold). Further development included the introduction of the Cabriolet model in October 1983 together with a brand new 3.6 litre engine, and then the launch of a full Convertible bodystyle in April 1988. With a full convertible roof the XJS's somewhat unusual styling finally acquired the elegance and presence expected of a Jaguar and with the standard 5.3 litre engine it backed this up with true sports car performance.

1953 Lagonda DB 2.6/3.0 Litre Drophead Coupe

Lot #28 (Sale Order 28 of 109)

- Supplied via Brooklands of London to Sir Peter Ustinov CBE FRSA and notable as the renowned actor / writer's first new car purchase - Built as a 2.6 litre model but uprated with a 3 litre engine by the factory in November 1954 (and a four star diff three years later) - Retained by Ustinov for twelve years and current ownership since 1968 - Engine overhauled in 1997 and veteran of numerous Continental trips - 'NLO 950' quite possibly inspired HRH The Duke of Edinburgh to order his own Lagonda 3 Litre Drophead Coupe given that both he and Ustinov were members of The Thursday Club Notwithstanding Lagonda's commitment to the war effort, their chief engineer W.O. Bentley - ably assisted by W.G. Watson and Donald Bastow - began work on a new car in early 1944. Conceived as a sports saloon, the resultant design boasted an innovative chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension and hydraulic drum brakes (inboard at the back). Powered by a DOHC straight-six engine featuring hemispherical combustion chambers, its flowing lines were partially attributable to Frank Feeley. Unveiled to an enthusiastic press in September 1945, production plans for the exclusive 2.5 Litre' were stymied by Lagonda's inability to negotiate sufficient steel supplies given the prevailing export-or-die' atmosphere. Unable to recover financially, the marque was bought by industrialist David Brown in 1947. Merged with Brown's other recent purchase Aston Martin, the two companies operated out of the latter's Feltham premises. In addition to donating its powerplant to the nascent Aston Martin DB2 programme, the 2.5 Litre' was developed in its own right. Fitted with a David Brown S430 four-speed synchromesh gearbox, rack-and-pinion steering and hypoid back axle, it reappeared at the October 1949 Earls Court Motor Show as the DB Lagonda 2.6. Highly regarded but expensive, the model evolved through a MKII version and reputedly accounted for just 511 sales (386 saloons and 125 drophead coupes) before giving way to the DB 3 Litre in 1954. Marque concessionaire Brooklands of Bond Street are understood to have purchased the last sixteen DB 2.6 MKII chassis and had them bodied as a mixture of fixed-head and drophead coupes by Tickford Ltd of Newport Pagnell. The resultant six 'tin tops' and ten 'soft-tops' presaged the styling of their equivalent DB 3 Litre successors exactly. The last 'Brooklands of Bond Street' Drophead Coupe made, chassis LAG50/536 has the further distinction of being the first new car bought by Sir Peter Ustinov, CBE FRSA, the acclaimed raconteur, writer and star of stage and screen. Born Peter Alexander Freiherr von Ustinov on April 16th 1921 in Swiss Cottage, London, his ancestral connections ranged from Russian nobility to the Ethiopian Royal Family! Fluent in Russian, French, Italian, German, and English, Ustinov befriended David Niven whilst serving in the Royal Sussex Regiment during World War Two and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh when all three were members of The Thursday Club. Indeed, it is quite probable that Sir Peter's purchase of 'NLO 950' inspired Prince Phillip to commission his own Lagonda DB 3 Litre Drophead Coupe (which we sold last year for a world record price of £346,800). A true car enthusiast, Ustinov returned chassis LAG50/536 to its maker to be fitted with a larger 3 Litre engine in late November 1954 and a four-star differential some three years later. Part of his stable when he won Best Supporting Oscars for Spartacus (1960) and Topkapi (1964), the Lagonda is known to have belonged to Coleman & Sons of Coalville, Smith Capell & Company of Northampton and Breedon General Services Ltd of Derby before entering the current family ownership during 1968. Re-trimmed in Grey leather the following decade, the Drophead Coupe received a new hood during 1986 courtesy of Northampton-based coach trimmer R.A. Waite. Invited to take part in the Display of British Coachwork Commemorating the Centenary of the British Motor Industry at Hagley Hall in the West Midlands on May 11th 1996 by The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London, the four-seater was treated to an engine overhaul some twelve months later. The cylinder liners showed remarkably little wear (.002thou) but the crankshaft was re-ground and new main / big-end bearings installed etc. The clutch friction plate and a propshaft universal joint (ahead of the gearbox) were renewed at the same time too. A stainless steel exhaust was commissioned for the car during 2000 and remains in situ. Damage to a rear wing prompted a full respray in 2001 which was carried out by Aston Martin specialist Four Ashes Garage Ltd of Stratford-upon-Avon. The colour chosen was a close match to the Lagonda's original Metalichrome Gulf Blue livery but some sixteen years on the finish has deteriorated...

1937 Fiat 500 Topolino

Lot #29 (Sale Order 29 of 109)

PLEASE NOTE: This lot includes a quantity of Topolino spares (photos of which are in the Documents Office). The spares can be collected from near Birmingham Airport within a reasonable timeframe after the sale. - First registered by Manchester County Council on April 13th 1937 - Treated to much past restoration work and part of a private collection since 2008 - Understood to retain its original engine and to be potentially Mille Miglia eligible - Recent recommissioning work has seen attention paid to the engine (new head gasket, cylinder bores honed, fresh piston rings), steering box and brakes A design classic, the original Fiat 500 (nicknamed the 'Topolino' or Little Mouse) was engineered by Dante Giacosa and Antonio Fessia. Powered by a 569cc engine allied to synchromesh transmission, it boasted a 55mph top speed and 45mpg fuel consumption! First registered by Manchester County Council on April 13th 1937, this delightful right-hand drive Topolino migrated to Devon some twenty years later (or so a handwritten annotation to its accompanying green continuation logbook suggests). Belonging to Anthony Turreff and Patrick Hardy during the 1960s, the Fiat was then laid-up for a time before John Evans of Paignton re-registered it with the DVLA during 1983. Nearing the end of an extensive restoration when Mr Evans died in 2001, chassis 013080 was purchased by Chris Jackson who commissioned marque specialist Steve Denning to make it roadworthy again. During his seven-year stewardship Mr Jackson treated the Topolino to a respray (2002), re-trim in Black leather (2003) plus carburettor and gearbox refurbishments (2007). He also had attention paid to its wiring, dynamo and starter motor and fitted new tyres etc. Further fettled by next keeper David Devonald of Warrington, the Fiat entered the current ownership via our July 2008 Buxton auction at a cost of £11,733.75. Potentially eligible for the highly prestigious Mille Miglia Storica, the Fiat was hotly contested with the vendor outbidding a Japanese enthusiast for the privilege of adding it to his collection. Stabled alongside various Bugattis and a W.O. Bentley for the last nine years, '587 XUK' has been sparingly used. Benefiting from a reconditioned steering box, more recent work has included a partial engine refresh (new cylinder head gasket, bores honed, fresh piston rings) and freeing of the brakes. Pleasingly understood to retain its original engine, this lovely UK-supplied Topolino is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi

Lot #30 (Sale Order 30 of 109)

- 1 of just 1,743 and a relatively late-build American specification example - Recently benefited from a new timing belt, dampers and tyres courtesy of Ian Barkaway of Tonbridge - Comes complete with original sales brochure, collection of invoices, wallet and handbooks Ferrari considered mid-engined technology when replacing the 275 GTB - Lamborghini had already declared their hand with the prototype Miura - but were concerned how customers might cope with the related handling of so large and powerful a car. The ensuing Dino therefore represented their first foray into the mid-engined road car market, a line then successfully followed with the 308, 328 and 348. The Pininfarina-penned 308 GTB debuted at the Paris Salon in 1975 as both a replacement for the Dino 246 and supplement for the Bertone-styled Dino 308 GT4 2+2. A notable departure for the early fixed roof 308s was the use of GRP for the bodywork and, while for some countries wet sump versions of the 2.9-ltre V8 engine were employed, European specification cars were fitted with dry sump units. The Targa-topped GTS was first seen at the 1977 Frankfurt Motor Show and, in common with its GTB sibling, then had its carburreted engine replaced by one with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection in 1980, giving rise to the GTSi and GTBi models respectively. By now the use of GRP for the fixed roof bodies had been dropped and both variants were clothed in steel. Production of the GTSi version had totalled 1,743 cars by the time the model was replaced by the 308 Quattrovalvole in 1982. PDA 120X' is a relatively late-build American specification GTSi that was imported to the UK five years ago. It is very well-presented in the classic Prancing Horse combination of Red bodywork teamed with a Black hide interior, and is presently considered by the vendor to have excellent' transmission, and very good' engine, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. It has recently benefited from a new timing belt, dampers and tyres courtesy of Ian Barkaway of Tonbridge. This fine-looking low mileage example comes complete with original sales brochure, collection of invoices, wallet and handbooks and is offered with an MOT into March 2018.

1976 Toyota HJ45 Land Cruiser Pickup

Lot #31 (Sale Order 31 of 109)

- Subject to a recent extensive restoration, mechanical and engine overhaul - Offered with photographs of the restoration plus current V5C - Displaying 62,400 kms and offered with an MOT certificate into April 2018. The origins of the long-running Land Cruiser series of 4x4s date back to 1941, when the Japanese authorities ordered Toyota to reverse engineer the Jeep. With the experience of several military trucks behind it, the company then launched the first Land Cruiser 10 years later. The name has subsequently become a byword for rugged dependability in parts of the world where even the ubiquitous Land Rover has been known to struggle. The now classic Land Cruiser models were produced from 1960 to 1984, and the righthand drive version now offered is of the two-door pickup variant that hails from 1976 powered by the 3.6-litre six-cylinder diesel engine driving through a four-speed manual gearbox. This smart looking example has been subject to a recent extensive restoration, mechanical and engine overhaul and is offered with photographs of the restoration plus current V5C and letter from Toyota confirming the build date. Displaying 62,400 kms the vendor currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and manual gearbox as 'Very Good' and is offered with an MOT certificate into April 2018.

1964 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII

Lot #32 (Sale Order 32 of 109)

- The original sales invoice shows this splendid looking Austin-Healey 3000 was sold new to a lady in Tucson, Arizona, in July 1964 - Appearing to remain with the original owner until being sold in August 1989 and promptly exported to England, converted to RHD, and registered in June 1990 - Only two UK owners who both invested significantly in the matching-numbers car with the right people to make it a fabulous example in looks, sound, and drivability The original sales invoice and Arizona title documents on file for this fabulous looking Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII (Phase 1) show it was ordered on July 18th 1964 from Precision Motors in Tucson for delivery that Sunday at 1:00pm. It was titled to two ladies, and seeing as Nancy Lee Burks was just 25 years old at the time, it is presumed that Mary was her mother and perhaps the shiny Colorado Red British sports car was a very generous 25th birthday present. The car did not stray far during its life in America, as after being supplied by Precision Motors (a company that is still thriving today as Toyota dealership) for the sum of $4,254.65 including a radio and taxes, Nancy Lee lived just a few blocks away from Precision and retained the car until 1989 by which time she was fifty years old and her maiden name of Burks had become Thomas. After selling the car in August 1989 it appears the car was promptly exported to England and converted to right hand drive, presumably by Barrie Richards of Barries Garage, Smethwick. Sold by Barries Garage (trading as Bellbrook Limited) in August 1990 to a Mr Grant Nowell-Mitchell of Pershore, its history since is well documented by its two enthusiastic UK owners. Mr Nowell-Mitchell preceded to use the car sparingly over the summer months for the next few years, and upon extracting the car from the garage in 1999 it was apparent that a furry creature had enjoyed nibbling away at the original black vinyl interior. 1999 proved to be an expensive year as a new black leather interior was installed in August along with the fitment of Minilite style road wheels, and in November the engine was sent somewhere to be fitted with new pistons, camshafts, aluminium radiator, triple Weber 45 carburettors, and a stainless-steel exhaust manifold and system. However, a mechanical failure resulted in Mr Nowell-Mitchell requesting the Austin-Healey experts Denis Welch Motorsport to build a Fast Road Engine for him. During 2001 and 2002 over £15,000 was spent on the car building the engine with steel crank and rods and performance inlet manifolds as well as many other engine works, plus thoroughly overhauling the suspension. The gearbox is reported to have received attention but no invoice is available, whereas the invoices from Denis Welch thoroughly detailing the works are in the file. The vendor (an historic racing competitor aboard a Ford Mustang) purchased the car from Denis Welch Motorsport in September 2011 after Mr Nowell-Mitchel is believed to have passed away. After Denis Welch carried out a service the car was sent to world renowned historic racing experts Blakeney Motorsport for fast-road and light competition preparation. During the next two years over £22,000 were spent on the car on works such as fitting competition front and rear wheel hubs, larger front brake discs and callipers, uprated rear brake drums, fitting a superb sounding side-exit exhaust, modifying the driver's seat to offer extra side support, new rear suspension springs, a new steering box, and an overhauled rear axle with new LSD unit. To complete the works, the paint was refreshed in late 2012. After taking part in events such as the 2012 VSCC Pomeroy Trophy at Silverstone, Goodwood Road Racing Club (GRRC) Spring Sprint at Goodwood, Aston Martin Owners Club Summer Sprint at Goodwood, and the 2013 VSCC Pomeroy Trophy and GRRC Spring Sprint, and car was retired from competitive work and has since been used as an extremely enjoyable road car. This is a thoroughly sorted, super looking, and fabulous sounding Austin-Healey 3000 that has had an extraordinary amount of love and money lavished upon it by the best names in the historic car world. There can only be a few 3000 MkIII's out there that have their original supplying documents, are presented in their original colours, still have their original matching numbers engine, plus have had such significant recent expenditure. This is one of them... PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1985 Adams Roadster

Lot #33 (Sale Order 33 of 109)

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now being offered at 'No Reserve'. - One of about 17 Jaguar XJ based Adams Roadsters constructed between 1986 and 1999 - Comprehensive history folder containing original brochure and price list, many maintenance invoices, previous MOT's and tax discs, and copies of previous V5C's - Upgraded from original 2.8 to current 4.2 engine during previous ownership and recently maintained by leading Jaguar specialists Twyford Moors and Classic Motor Cars The Adams Roadster was designed by ex-Lister man Dennis Adams who was responsible for dramatic designs such as the Probe 16 used in the film A Clockwork Orange, and some of the classic Marcos designs. The Roadster was produced in very limited numbers, with only around 17 believed to have been constructed between 1986 and 1999. They were apparently available with Jaguar straight-six engines in several capacities, with the 4.2 being the most popular. This Adams Roadster was acquired by the titled vendor in November 2015 with a view of exporting it to his home in Sri Lanka, but sadly a change in the importation laws soon afterwards meant that the car has remained at his City of London residence. The previous owner had purchased the car in August 2012 and undertook a lot of work on the car, notably replacing the original 2.8 twin-carburetted engine with a 4.2 triple-carburetted unit. A letter on file informs that the 4.2 engine was "refurbished" prior to installation with new gaskets, timing chain, alternator, and 4.2 clutch, plus the overdrive unit was "overhauled". A triple SU carburettor set-up completed the transformation. The previous and current owners have had the car maintained by leading Jaguar experts such as Twyford Moors and Classic Motor Cars (CMC), and the vendor describes the car as having "very good" paintwork and interior trim, and "excellent" bodywork, engine, transmission, and electric equipment. The car is supplied with a comprehensive history file featuring an original Adams Roadster brochure, a price list, and a magazine road-test, plus many maintenance invoices, previous MOT certificates, tax discs, and copies of previous registration documents.

1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II

Lot #34 (Sale Order 34 of 109)

- A cherished example of the rare Silver Wraith II model with a reduced rear window and picnic tables to the rear of the front seats - Boasting an "extensive history file" with approximately £4,000 recently spent, plus hand and service books with mostly authorised dealer stamps - Finished in a most agreeable colour combination of Pewter paint and grey leather, and described by the vendor as having "excellent" paintwork This rare Rolls-Royce is the long wheel base Silver Wraith II version and is equipped as most were with the reduced rear window and Everflex covered roof. As well as the smaller rear window to aid privacy, rear seat passengers are afforded with around four inches of extra leg room compared to a Silver Shadow, and this example has picnic / writing tables to the rear of the front seats and movable foot rests amongst the deep-pile over-carpets. Within the original book pack are two service books (the original and a continuation book), the hand book and its supplements. The history file has been described as "extensive" and features many invoices from authorised dealers and specialists such as Ross Brothers, Mann Egerton, HR Owen, The Chelsea Workshop, and Eaton Square Garage, as well as a comprehensive selection of previous MOT certificates from 1993 onwards. The original service book states this motorcar was sold new by Ross Brothers of Ilkley, West Yorkshire, in April 1980 and registered as MWW 434V. Three months later the first service was carried out and it is reported in the service book that the odometer was changed when it displayed 3,371 miles. Therefore, this figure needs to be added onto the odometer reading, which is currently just 77,500 miles. Later registration numbers include AR 1000 and the ONM 876V that the car has now. Letters and invoices in the history file show that a gentleman in Chelsea, London, purchased the car in October 1990 from Mann Egerton, the authorised Rolls-Royce dealership in Dover Street, London. A maintenance invoice from HR Owen in June 1991 indicates the odometer reading as 66,333, and the car was used sparingly during the gentleman's thirteen years of ownership as he had only covered just over 8,000 miles when he sold it in June 2003. The next owner, a gentleman in Boston, Lincolnshire, travelled just 2,700 miles during his first four of ownership, however he then hardly used the car and according to the MOT certificates (which he had issued promptly every June) he covered just 90 miles between June 2007 and October 2013, at which time the car was acquired by our vendor. The car has continued its leisurely existence with our vendor as only around 60 miles have been driven. Due to this inactivity, the car was recommissioned at the end of 2016 and more than £4,000 was spent overhauling and replacing many of the braking components. The Rolls-Royce has apparently been garaged during at least the past two ownerships (and possibly for much of its life given London's parking problems) which would explain why the paintwork, which is a most agreeable metallic pewter grey, is described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition. With wonderful natural patterns being exhibited in the lovely dark walnut dash board, the grey leather interior is described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition, as one would expect with such a low recorded mileage. This certainly appears to be a superlative example. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

Further development included the introduction of the Cabriolet model in October 1983 together with a brand new 3.6 litre engine, and then the launch of a full Convertible bodystyle in April 1988.

1987 Bristol Brigand

Lot #39 (Sale Order 39 of 109)

- Formerly the property of the musician and actor Will Young - One of just sixteen survivors known to the Bristol Owners' Club - Treated to a bare metal respray by Spray Tec and previously fitted with a new engine by Bristol Cars plus a re-trim 'There is nothing quite like a Bristol. It's not as common as a Rolls-Royce or Bentley, it's more exclusive than a Jaguar or Mercedes-Benz, less ostentatious than an Aston Martin. It represents a blend of quiet, under-stated good taste allied to a high level of equipment, impeccable finish and dramatic performance. We called the Beaufighter "an English gentleman's very high speed touring carriage," no better soubriquet could be suggested for the Bristol Brigand; it's as simple as that' (Motor Sport magazine, January 1984) Bristol Cars named the third series derivatives of its accomplished 603 design after two of its former parent company's aircraft namely the Britannia passenger airliner and Brigand dive bomber. Introduced in 1982, the four-wheeled newcomers were underpinned by a massively strong box section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a torsion bar-sprung 'live' rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes. Form followed function when it came to aesthetics but the result was a commanding driving position, usefully narrow track when navigating city traffic and excellent all-round visibility. Suitably luxurious, the duo's interiors were craft from the finest leather upholstery, wood veneers and plush carpets. Both were powered by a 5.9 litre Chrysler V8 allied to three-speed automatic transmission. However, the Brigand's use of a Rotomaster turbocharger gave it an emphatic performance advantage. Bristol Cars may have declined to quote outputs for the more potent engine (which others have estimated at circa 300bhp / 400lbft) but they did credit the turbocharged four-seater with the ability to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Priced at a faintly ludicrous £49,827 (when an Austin Metro could be had for £3,000), hand built production of the Brigand was somewhat limited. Today, the Bristol Owners' Club know of just sixteen survivors (though, several of those have lost their force-fed induction). Arguably the finest of the sixteen, this particular example - chassis 8525086 - was supplied new to barrister turned property developer David Holland. Thereafter, it passed to yacht designer Donald Starkey, private banker Louis Greig, fund manager John Mant, H. Ross-Parker, retailer David Medler and businessman Andrew Wilson before being purchased by the musician and actor Will Young in 2009. Prior to the Brigand being registered in his name, Mr Young had Bristol Cars respray and re-trim it in Grey with Oxblood leather upholstery as well as carry out a thorough service and attend to the suspension and brakes etc. The work took two months to complete and cost £26,249.91. Returned to its maker's service centre during February 2010, the four-seater underwent a carburettor overhaul and further fettling totalling £2,587.80. Shortly afterwards a very dapper looking Mr Young was pictured alongside his Brigand and fellow interviewees Lewis Moody, Mark Webber and Craig David for a Daily Mail article in which he revealed that his love of cars came from his Jaguar XK and Bristol owning grandfather. Unfortunately, 'E693 FLD' suffered an oil leak induced engine failure during October that year. Returned to Bristol Cars once more, it was fitted with a new engine and overhauled automatic transmission at 95,589 miles for the subsided sum of £7,053.42 (the company's then Chairman Toby Silverton authorising a £3,730 + VAT discount). The vendor purchased the sports saloon from Mr Young during December 2011 but did not receive its V5C Registration Document for another year or so! In the meantime he entrusted it to the renowned Spray Tec Restorations Ltd of Wellinborough for a bare metal respray in Aston Martin Black Pearl and sundry minor trim work. Spray-Tec founder Adrian George has notoriously high standards and was displeased with the body's profile once it had been stripped back. However, he honoured the pre-agreed labour quote of £20,000 and simply carried out the extra work free of charge. The total bill was £27,933.40. Having had Bristol Cars' service manager Brian Marelli confirm the soundness of the Brigand's chassis and supply copies of its factory maintenance records, the seller dispatched 'E693 FLD' to marque specialist Brabazon Motors in Summer 2013 where it was debugged to the tune of £2,360.70 including the installation of a new windscreen and two tyres...

1939 Triumph Dolomite 14/60 Drophead Foursome Coupe

Lot #40 (Sale Order 40 of 109)

- Dry stored as part of a private collection for many years. Currently running and driving but would benefit from attention to its brakes and general recommissioning - Very elegant and nicely engineered three-position drophead coupe coachwork by Salmons & Sons and 1 of just 3 survivors known to the pre-1940 Triumph Motor Club - Dark Blue leather, continuation buff logbook, Eire registered since 1996 Brainchild of Donald Healey (then serving as the Coventry firm's technical director), the Triumph Dolomite range current between 1936 and 1940 encompassed 1.5 Litre, 14/60 and 2 Litre engines plus a choice of open and closed coachwork. Though, each derivative sported the same flamboyant, Walter Belgrove-penned 'waterfall' grille. A credible SS, MG and Riley rival, the 14/60 was powered by a 1776cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed synchromesh transmission. Awarded second-in-class at the 1938 RAC Rally and Coachwork Competition at Blackpool, the 14/60 Drophead Foursome Coupe was a notably elegant design. Bodied by Salmons & Sons of Newport Pagnell, its neatly engineered roof could be set in fully open, fully closed or Coupe de Ville positions. Forming part of a County Wexford based collection for the past twenty-one years, this particular example is one of just three surviving 14/60 Drophead Foursome Coupes known to the Pre-1940 Triumph Motor Club. An accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that the Dolomite was first road registered as 'GR 6798' on 5th June 1939 and belonged to Bernard Newsome, Archibald Newsome and John Wilkie from the 1950s - 1970s. Issued with a MOT Certificate by Adams & Gibbon Ltd of Sunderland on August 2nd 1973 at an indicated 74,686 miles, the past forty-four years have only added another 1,000 miles or so to its unwarranted odometer reading! Formerly Grey, the Triumph was repainted Old English White prior to entering the current ownership. The Black hood has faded somewhat but the Dark Blue leather upholstery remains in good order. Seemingly last driven any real distance in Eire during 2010, the 14/60 Drophead Foursome Coupe started readily upon inspection but would benefit from attention to its hydraulic brakes amongst other recommissioning works. An undeniably handsome Post Vintage Thoroughbred that pleasingly retains its original engine, this very rare Dolomite is offered for sale with a copy sales brochure, old MOTs and sundry other paperwork.

1938 Alvis Silver Crest 20hp Six Light Saloon

Lot #41 (Sale Order 41 of 109)

- Reputedly one of less than twenty known survivors from 344 Silver Crests built - The subject of much restoration work including a mechanical overhaul and bare metal repaint - A very smart and usable Post Vintage Thoroughbred Saloon Introduced in August 1937, the Silver Crest was underpinned by a notably stiff ladder frame chassis featuring no fewer than six crossmembers. Like its illustrious Speed 25 and 4.3 Litre siblings, the newcomer boasted an all-synchromesh four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension and large diameter drum brakes. Available with a choice of saloon or drophead coupe coachwork, the newcomer could also be had with 16.95hp (2362cc) or 20hp (2762cc) straight-six OHV engines. Developing some 95bhp @ 4,000rpm and plentiful torque, the larger engined models were good for over 80mph. Popular among special builders because of their robust and tuneable running gear, fewer than twenty of the 344 Silver Crests made are thought to have survived to the present day. This excellent Silver Crest Six-Light Saloon was first supplied to Wellsway Garage of Bath on 12th November 1938 and pleasingly retains its original registration number. We are advised that the car was in restoration for well over ten years. The previous owner purchased the Alvis in 2014 with all the mechanical work done including an engine overhaul but with the bodywork, paint, trim and chrome still left to complete. The paintwork was done professionally from bare metal. The wire wheels have been refurbished and look very smart. The leather is partly original / partly replaced and nicely done. The woodwork and chrome have been restored. There are a few photos of the refurbishment on file and a selection of invoices. There is an old V5 registration document along with the modern type. The car's original build record is on file. The body is by Holbrook as were all the Silver Crest saloons. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

Lot #42 (Sale Order 42 of 109)

- Meticulous restoration by AV Classics of Dunstable completed in February 2017 - Imported from USA in 2015, Heritage Certificate, Swansea V5C - Finished in arguably the best colour scheme Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. Its combination of supercar performance, superb styling and low price tag was unrivalled. Early sportscar racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, its combination of all round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack and pinion steering gave it excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable XK twin cam supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design - just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. According to its accompanying Heritage Certificate this beautiful lefthand drive example was manufactured on 29th December 1969 and dispatched on 24th January 1970 to distributor British Leyland, New York. Finished in Sable with Cinnamon interior, the original supplying dealer and owner's details are not recorded. The car was previously registered in New Jersey before being purchased for restoration by A V Classics from Jags World LLC of Miami, Florida, in March 2015. Subsequently imported to the UK, with the recorded mileage declared as 44,526, a comprehensive 'nut and bolt' restoration was commenced. This was completed in February 2017 with photographs of the work appearing in a hardbound book prepared by the vendor. Now resplendent in Gunmetal Grey with red leather interior, the car is ready to be enjoyed following some recent shakedown work and carries a current MoT expiring in April 2018. The odometer was zeroed during the restoration although the MoT certificate would appear to record the mileage related to the previous vehicle registered under the number NJT 49H which was allocated by DVLA. Similarly, the V5 document appears to record the ownership history related to the previous vehicle registered with this registration mark. A stunning E-Type finished in arguably the best colour combination which retains its original engine and has been freshly restored to a high standard, it is quite simply breath-taking and worthy of the closest inspection.

- UK supplied RHD example with 92,000 recorded miles - Recently been bought out of long term storage - Small amount of re-commissioning before returning to the road. The E-Type's Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top in a pole of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time'. The E-Type, or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon where its unique combination of grace and pace stole the show. The Series 2 models introduced in 1969 are distinguished by their lack of headlamp covers, enlarged front air intake, repositioned front indicators and tail lights, wrap-around rear bumper, twin-electric fans, uprated brakes and refashioned facia and seats. Finished in red with a beige interior this UK supplied RHD example has recently been bought out of long term storage from its previous keeper who had owned the Jaguar since 2004. Mated to automatic transmission this 2+2 example will require a small amount of re-commissioning before returning to the road.

1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

Lot #47 (Sale Order 47 of 109)

- A former concours award winner that has just been cosmetically refurbished by Stallion Motors of Beeston (bare metal repaint, brand new hood, opening panels realigned, fresh rubbers, chromework restored / renewed, correct-type Dunlop tyres etc) - Matching chassis, body and engine numbers and understood to 'drive very much as it should' - Extensive history file including numerous bills / invoices, UK V5C Registration Document and Heritage Certificate etc For many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque's new sports cars some 56 years later! Its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time' and, of course, none other than Enzo Ferrari beat them to it by many years when he similarly described it as 'the most beautiful car ever made'. Like the XK150 before it, it was born of Jaguar's competition successes on the race tracks of Europe. Make no mistake, this was no ordinary motorcar - it was a true thoroughbred. Allied to a monocoque passenger cell, the model's tubular front sub-frame cradled a 3781cc DOHC straight-six engine, independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering, while its back axle played host to a sophisticated coil-sprung set-up complete with inboard disc brakes. From birth, the E-Type was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. Among the very fastest cars of its generation, contemporary road tests found the newcomer to be capable of 0-60mph in circa 7 seconds and 150mph. Despite this, engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, plus more comfortable seats. Some 5,979 left-hand drive E-Type Series 1 4.2 Roadsters were made prior to the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars (a modest amount even compared to current Ferrari 488 production numbers). According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E15138 - was completed on 17th March 1967. Originally finished in Pale Primrose Yellow with Black upholstery and a Black hood - the same livery it pleasingly sports today - the two-seater was supplied new via the Coventry manufacturer's New York distribution hub to Albert P Lareau. Belonging to Larry Story of Casper, Wyoming three decades later, the E-Type benefited from a thorough front suspension overhaul and interior re-trim before being acquired by Dennis Eklof of Arlington, Massachusetts in June 2003. Picking up where his predecessor had left off, Mr Eklof had attention paid to the Jaguar's factory-fitted 'matching numbers' engine (reground crankshaft, new crankshaft damper / timing chains / pistons / bearings / valve springs / core plugs etc), rear sub-frame / suspension, wiring, chromework, steering column, uprated radiator, propshaft, brake servo / master cylinder / front discs, clutch, manual gearbox, steering column and exhaust (replaced with a stainless steel assembly). Believed to have covered a comparatively modest mileage since these mechanical works were completed, chassis 1E15138 is said to be 'on the button' and to 'drive very much as it should'. Reportedly a former concours award winner, the E-Type has recently been treated to an extensive cosmetic refresh including a full professional 'bare metal' respray by Stallion Motors of Beeston (who have painted many of Frank Sytner's cars), re-gapped / re-hung opening panels, assorted re-chroming, fresh rubber seals, five new correct-type Dunlop tyres and a brand new mohair hood. The results speak for themselves and are worthy of close inspection. Indeed, we would not be surprised if the Roadster added to its rosette tally in the future! UK road registered as 'VBY 450E', this decidedly smart 'matching numbers' Series I Roadster is offered for sale with the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, 'no advisories' MOT certificate valid until March 2018 and a wealth of invoices / receipts (dating from Mr Story and Mr Eklof's custodianship).

1970 Triumph Stag

Lot #48 (Sale Order 48 of 109)

PLEASE NOTE: The Hard Top for this vehicle is located with the Vendor. - An important Triumph Stag being Pre-Production Car No. 9 (and the twelfth example built) - The Belgian press launch car and believed but not warranted to have covered just 98,000 miles from new - Treated to a photo documented bodywork restoration and mechanical overhaul last year and the subject of an upcoming article in 'Triumph World' magazine Launched in 1970, the Triumph Stag was styled by Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, fully independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and driveline of the Triumph 2000 Saloon from which it was developed. The chosen powerplant, however, was an all-new OHC V8 of 3000cc. A total of 25,939 Stags were produced, some 9,000 of which survive in the UK. The example now being offered is a significant link in that model chain - ie it's pre-production car No.9 and the 12th example made. It was also apparently employed for the Belgian press launch and is believed, but not warranted, to have covered no more than 98,500 miles from new, courtesy of five keepers. Having already featured in Popular Motoring magazine, it is the subject of an upcoming article in Triumph World. This matching numbers vehicle was apparently removed from the road and placed in dry storage during 1989. The vendor acquired it in 2011 and ensured that all the pre-production detail was retained during a restoration that took place as recently as 2014 to 2016, during which: the engine was refurbished by Tynwald Triumph, plus the gearbox, overdrive and hood frame overhauled by specialists ; the rear axle and braking and suspension systems were overhauled; the seats retrimmed; brightwork rechromed; and a new hood installed. He now grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and manual overdrive gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order, and adds: 'the engine pulls strongly and holds good oil pressure and temperature, while the clutch and gearbox operate efficiently with no apparent sign of undue wear'. This interesting and historic British classic has covered just 250 miles since all the work was completed, and is now being offered complete with both hard and soft tops, collection of invoices, Heritage Certificate and an MOT into June of next year that is free of advisories.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 500 E

Lot #49 (Sale Order 49 of 109)

- A very smart example with approximately 105,000 miles from new - Engine overhaul in 2008 and stainless-steel exhaust system in 2009 - Offered with a large file of invoices and details on recent regular servicing The 500 E was regarded as a classic from birth. With its discretely macho looks, limited production run (just 10,479 examples in little over five years) and BMW M5-matching performance, it was always destined to be popular with aficionados of the marque. Based on Mercedes's proven W124 Saloon, each example was hand-built by Porsche, powered by the lusty 5.0-litre, quoted 322bhp, V8 engine and available only as a four-seater with automatic transmission the 500 E was distinguished from the standard E class by subtly flared wheel arches. All were lefthand drive. 'J49 JGU' is an early, more powerful, example first registered in Germany. In recent years it was sold by The Hairpin Company to the Dealer Principal of Porsche Silverstone, from whom the vendor acquired it in 2010. Finished in Blue Black and trimmed in contrasting Grey hide, it has covered approximately 105,000 miles from new. The extensive specification incudes recently re-gassed air conditioning, sunroof, electric memory seats, bluetooth phone connectivity and a discreet i-pod connection in the central arm rest. Having benefited from an engine overhaul in 2008 and stainless-steel exhaust system in 2009 this high performance Mercedes is shod with matching Dunlop tyres. Offered with a large file of invoices and details on the recent regular servicing schedule the vendor has used the Mercedes for trips to France and this year to visit Techno Essen in Germany with no problems. Described as being in 'Very Good' condition with regards to its engine, automatic transmission, bodywork, paintwork plus interior trim, is said to 'run beautifully', and is offered with an MOT certificate into May 2018.

1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII

Lot #50 (Sale Order 50 of 109)

- Original RHD UK supplied example with 62,500 recorded miles - Current ownership since 2007, MOT'd to July 2018 and ready to be enjoyed - Re-painted in 2013, over-drive equipped and known ownership from new Donald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show that not only impressed the public, but also so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 and the rest, as they say, is history. The 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development with the four cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final version was the 3000 MKIII which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the models, it had a lively performance courtesy of its 150bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind-up windows and a walnut veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs. As one of the last of the line, the 3000 offered is a desirable home market MKIII Phase 2 model. Its supporting paperwork confirms it was built on January 15, 1967 and delivered new the following month to Martins Caravan Co. of Exeter. There have been eight other owners including the vendor who acquired the car in April 2007. Over the years the body which was originally finished in Beige was changed to Red and Black before receiving its current hue of British Racing Green in 2013 - it is matched to Black interior trim. The SU carburettors were overhauled last year and 'JTT 673E' is now being offered complete with new hood, tonneau cover, a spare set of five wire wheels, Heritage Certificate, original handbook and sales brochure, details of all past owners, tax discs and MOT certificates (including one valid to July 2018) and an assortment of spares.

1976 Porsche 912 E

Lot #51 (Sale Order 51 of 109)

- Rare example of a late 912E with c.113,000 miles - LHD, recent repaint, retrim and engine overhaul - Headlining and brake discs replaced and wheel repolish Concerned over the price increase for the new 911 model, Porsche introduced the entry level 912 in 1965 to bridge the gap between the outgoing 356 and 911. Initially powered by the 4-cylinder 1.6-litre unit proved in the 356, the model found favour with Porsche buyers and was to outsell the 911 for the first few years of its production. Discontinued in 1969 following the launch of the 914, it was not until 1975 that the model was reintroduced as the 912E, sharing the G-Series bodywork of the 911S but powered by a VW 2-litre unit, to again bridge the gap between the discontinued 914 and 924. Production ran from May 1975 to July 1976 and 2100 cars targeted at the US market were built. We are advised this rare survivor was recently imported from the US and treated to a retrim in tan leather at a reputed cost of £5,000. The engine was also overhauled at this time. The car has just been subject to a glass-out respray in brown, wheel repolish and new brake discs and a new headlining have been fitted. Now registering some 113,000 miles, it is offered with current MoT to July 2018. For those looking for the Porsche experience on a budget, the 912E still provides a highly enjoyable solution despite the passage of 40 years.

1966 Aston Martin DB6

Lot #52 (Sale Order 52 of 109)

- Matching numbers example, well maintained by recognised marque specialists - Automatic transmission, Silver Birch with Tan hide - c.75,000 miles believed genuine, invoices totalling £30,000 Like a matched pair of Purdeys, a wardrobe full of bespoke Saville Row suits or a parade of hand stitched brogues, few things are as quintessentially English as an Aston Martin. Backed by a strong racing heritage and glittering silver screen career, Astons remain the stuff of dreams to many. Launched at the 1965 Motor Show, it was the first model to be engineered after the factory move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Lauded by the contemporary press for its handling and performance, demand for the handbuilt gentleman's express soon outstripped supply (just 1,755 DB6s had been made by the time production ceased in 1971). Visually distinguishable from Sean Connery's DB5 mount by its pronounced and aerodynamically effective Kamm tail, it also benefited from a four-inch increase to its wheelbase. In combination with a (marginally) raised roofline and redesigned rear seats courtesy of revised rear suspension pick up points this gave a meaningful increase in rear passenger room making the car a true four seater. All round coil sprung suspension, disc brakes and rack and pinion steering gave a suitably sporting drive. Dry weight was limited to 1,550kg utilising well practised Touring Superleggera techniques. Huddersfield built chassis platforms were fitted with a steel superstructure at Newport Panel before being clad in the hand finished aluminium body panels. The fabulous Tadek Marek designed twin-cam straight six in 3995cc form was carried over unchanged. Even in standard tune, it developed a claimed 282bhp and 280lbft of torque. Mated to the no-cost optional automatic transmission as in this example (preferred by many to the heavy clutch and at times obstructive change of the manual version) performance was commanding with a reputed top speed and 0-60mph time of 140 mph and 8.5 seconds respectively. This matching-numbers DB6 was originally finished in Californian Sage but has been repainted in Silver Birch while retaining its original tan trim. The previous owner of eleven years, an Aston Martin Enthusiast and Collector, ensured the car has been lovingly looked after. Regularly used for family days, this Aston Martin has been maintained and mechanically looked after to a high standard by Nicholas Mee & Company, and comes with a substantial history including a £2,000 service with Richard of England Aston Martin Specialist. The extensive history includes some service invoices dating back to the late 1980s, photos of an engine overhaul, plus a quantity of expired MoT certificates supporting the mileage of c.75,000. From 2004 the car was maintained by Aston Martin agents Murray Motors in Scotland and subsequently by marque specialists Ricki Cann, RS Williams and Nicholas Mee. Works carried out by the latter include removing the engine, gearbox, exhaust system and suspension, cleaning the underside, welding as necessary, treating with red oxide and protecting with new underseal. The cleaned and painted rear axle was then reinstalled with all new bushes, as was the overhauled and re-bushed front suspension, while the engine bay was cleaned and refinished in preparation for installation of the engine. The latter's cylinder head was removed, overhauled with new gaskets and refitted and the carburettors cleaned and reset. Re-assembly was completed with new exhaust and inlet manifold gaskets, hoses, clips, drive belts and engine mounts, whilst all ancillaries were reinstalled having been cleaned and repainted. The exhaust system was refitted with new clamps and mountings. In addition, the brake master cylinder was overhauled and the brake callipers removed, cleaned and refitted with new flexible hoses. The total cost of these works was c.£30,000. Described by the vendor as having "very good" bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission with "good" interior, NPG 92D is offered with a current MoT certificate expiring 16th April 2018. The DB6 is considered by many to be the last of the 'real' Aston Martins and this must surely represent an ideal acquisition for a discerning collector.

1961 Lotus Elite S2

Lot #53 (Sale Order 53 of 109)

- Supplied new to Gilby Engineering and raced by Keith Greene in period - Recent comprehensive restoration by Mk14 Components, blue with black interior - 5 speed Ford Type 9 gearbox, offered by renowned Lotus enthusiast and collector "The road manners of the Elite come as near to those of a racing car as the ordinary motorist would ever experience" (Autocar, May 1960) Unveiled at the1957 London Motor Show, the Elite (Type 14) was not only Colin Chapman's first production road car but also the world's first fibreglass monocoque (a contributory factor to its reputed 684kg kerb weight). Perhaps influenced by the FIA's recently introduced 1300cc GT racing class, the newcomer's specification included F2-derived all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (inboard at the rear). Powered by a Coventry-Climax SOHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission, its amazing 0.29 cd allowed all but the basic variant to claim a top speed of over 120mph. The work of Peter Kirwin-Taylor, aerodynamicist Frank Costin and John Frayling, the coupe's super sleek silhouette is still considered a masterpiece. Unsurprisingly, given its radical design (and Chapman's budget constraints), the first running prototype did not emerge until May 10th 1958. Driven straight to Silverstone by Ian Walker, it promptly won a production sports car race against 1600cc opposition. As successful abroad as on British circuits the Elite won its class at Le Mans every year from 1959-1964. Although, the contract to manufacture the Type 14's innovative GRP monocoque was initially entrusted to Maximar boatbuilders, it was transferred after 280 or so units to the Bristol Aircraft company. Coinciding with revisions to the rear suspension layout, an improved interior and increased engine power, this switch heralded the emergence of the Series Two in mid-1960. Chassis 1471, a Bristol bodied car, was delivered new in January 1961 to Formula One team Gilby Engineering for Keith Greene to compete in sports car events and, we understand, was fully prepared for racing by Lotus themselves. Conversations with Keith Greene subsequently confirmed its competition life was a brief one due to teething problems and the weakness of the early suspension pick up points. The car was returned to the factory for this to be rectified. The car was then sold on, being registered as a road car in December 1961. At this time, it retained the full race bottom end, initially with an MG gearbox fitted, before the original ZF unit was purchased from Gilby and reinstalled. It then changed hands in 1964 and again in 1965 before being put into long term storage around 1966 by the then owner who always intended to recommission the car. Work commitments prevented this and it was acquired by the previous owner from him in 2006. The original engine and ZF gearbox having disappeared over the years, a full restoration was finally commenced. The Chassis Body Unit was repaired and painted in metallic blue and a new sub frame fitted, whilst the FWE Climax engine was completed to a high standard with a steel crank, lightened flywheel and forged pistons. It was also converted to accept unleaded fuel. Running on twin 40 DCOE Webers, power output was recorded as a healthy 105bhp. Cooling is provided by an all alloy radiator with an 11" electric fan. A Ford Type 9 five-speed gearbox was also fitted. With similar ratios to those found in the ZF unit and a fifth gear, the car is capably relaxed and quite at home in modern traffic conditions. Other modifications include rose joints on the rear suspension, a 50 amp Dynator in place of the original dynamo and retrimming of the seats and door cards in black leather. Completed in 2014, it was purchased by the vendor, a renowned Lotus enthusiast and collector, directly from Mk14 Components Ltd and is only being offered for sale due his recent acquisition of another example. The car has recently had an MOT inspection, valid until June 2018. It has also received a full Service in June of this year, from Tolman Motorsport. Invited to the 60th anniversary celebrations at Castle Combe in May, it will afterwards be featured in Classic & Sportscar magazine. A fully restored example with period race history, 1471 ticks all the right boxes and should appeal to Lotus collectors everywhere.

1972 Aston Martin DBS

Lot #54 (Sale Order 54 of 109)

- Just 62,000 miles and 2 previous owners, good restoration candidate - Much history from 1980s, £20,000 spent - Automatic transmission, Webasto sunroof Introduced at the October 1967 Motor Show, the DBS broke important new ground for Aston Martin. Although similar to that of the concurrent DB6, its steel platform chassis used a longer wheelbase, repositioned front crossmember and wider track to arrive at perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Further enhanced by the adoption of de Dion rear suspension located via a Watts linkage and with standardised power steering, the newcomer was widely praised for its polished ride and handling. Styled in-house by William Towns, with clear transatlantic and Italianate overtones, the aluminium-bodied four-seater exuded a road presence that few rivals caught in its quad headlights could match. Although intended to be the first V8-powered Aston, a series of teething troubles with the new powerplant meant that the DBS went into production with the proven Tide Marek-designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six. Credited with developing 282bhp and 288lbft (or 325bhp and 290lbft in Vantage tune wearing three Webers), this legendary powerplant was allied to either five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. We are informed this Silver / Grey automatic transmission example with Red interior had just two previous owners, the car coming with a good amount of history dating from the 1980s onwards. Understood to be running but offered without a current MoT, STD 971S is described by the vendor as being a good candidate for restoration, the odometer currently registering a low c.62,000 miles. Invoices for over £20,000 together and over thirty expired MoT certificates are also understood to accompany the car. Astons remain a solid investment and values for the 6-cylinder DBs have risen along with those of the V8 engined models making this an attractive project to undertake.

1948 Connaught L2

Lot #55 (Sale Order 55 of 109)

One of only six (three prototypes and three production cars) Connaught L2 sports cars made, chassis No.7048 was built to the requirements of Ken Downing in time to contest the 1950 season. It came with two bodies - the company's standard all-enveloping one and a one-off lightweight cycle-wing design for competition work. At his own admission, by shortening the stroke of the company's 1767cc Lea Francis engine, Connaught provided him with 'the most potent car in the 1500cc class'. And, though there were teething problems that first year, his impressive 1951 results of 15 1sts, 11 other placings and just three retirements were proudly advertised in Autosport and other publications by Connaught at the end of that season. The L2s title then passed in fairly quick succession to William Wadsworth, Kathleen Gibson and RAF officer John Woods, who purchased it from Archie Scott Brown's garage in Cambridge in 1958. However, within a year he was posted to Australia, so sold it back to the garage, only to buy it for a second time on his return to the UK. The engine had, though, been damaged in his absence and it was at this stage it was replaced by the current 2496cc unit. It was in this form 'OPC 3' was exported to Canada when Woods emigrated there in 1971, which is where it remained until gifted to his nephew Jonathon Hibbins in 2005. On repatriating the Connaught, Hibbins set about a major mechanical restoration that included a thorough overhaul of the engine and gearbox, replacement clutch etc. Now, finished in its correct livery of British Racing Green bodywork and Green leathercloth interior, this highly significant racing car is being offered for the first time in almost 60 years, complete with: extensive history file containing the original buff log book, period correspondence, photos of the restoration etc. A unique opportunity.

1962 Ford Thunderbird

Lot #56 (Sale Order 56 of 109)

By the time Ford dispensed with the Thunderbird moniker in 2005, the model had progressed through 11 generations, the combined production total of which was in excess of 4.4 million. The first generation model hit the streets in October 1954 and, while it was created in direct response to Chevrolet's Corvette, Ford's emphasis was on comfort over sportiness. By the time the third generation appeared in 1961, the T-Bird had grown to feature four rather than two seats, and power from a 6.4-litre V8 of 300bhp mated to a three-speed automatic gearbox. This crowd-stopping 1962 example has been in the present ownership since 2009, was imported to the UK in 2013, and treated to a respray in 2015. Recent maintenance has included an overhaul of the braking and front suspension systems. Finished in Red and trimmed Cream-coloured upholstery it is described by the vendor as an 'excellent everyday American classic that's in 'fair' order throughout'.

It was notable for the free-flowing elegance of it lines and the fact the hood could be completely hidden from view below a panel ahead of the rear-mounted engine. Early examples were powered by the same 843cc engine as the Saloon, but in 1968 the Spider's unit was enlarged to 903cc - this version was known as the Sport. The example offered is thought to have begun life in California and to have been converted to right-hand drive upon its importation to the UK in 1991, spending a period in Northern Ireland before returning to the mainland.

The vendor has contacted Harry Fairbairn (01592 657800) and been advised that the M5 was serviced by local garages in Jersey on 15th September 2005, 12th September 2006, 17th November 2009 and 6th March 2010. There is no documentary confirmation of the clutch having been replaced circa 10,000 miles ago but the presence of the Eismann sports exhaust is self-evident. PLEASE NOTE: This lot's current odometer reading is now over 73,300. The vendor informs us that (a) he paid the import VAT on July 12th 2017 and (b) the car should now be registered on the NOVA system. - First owned by the Scottish footballer Colin Hendry who kept it for eight years and two further keepers since migrating to Jersey - 72,000 recorded miles with main dealer and local garage service history - New clutch circa 10,000 miles ago, six-speed manual gearbox, Eisenmann sports exhaust (original system retained) - Said to 'run and drive very well' - No reserve but guide price: £6,000 - £10,000 Even by the superlative standards of the BMW M-cars that began with the M1 in 1978, the E39 M5 made from 1998 to 2003 is generally regarded as a standout model. Powered by a rev-hungry 4941cc S62 V8 engine (rated at 394bhp / 369lbft), the super saloon was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 155mph (limited). RHD European-specification production amounted to just 2,595 cars. The very tidy 2000 model year example offered was first owned by the Scottish international footballer Colin Hendry. Remaining in his care for eight years, it has reportedly had two further keepers since migrating to Jersey. Finished in Carbon Black and trimmed in Tan hide, it comes with an extensive service history (main dealer and local garage) in support of the 72,000 indicated miles, and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, 'very good' paintwork and interior trim, and 'good' engine and six-speed Getrag manual transmission. The clutch was renewed c.10,000 miles ago and this 'wolf in sheep's clothing' has quite the growl courtesy of an Eisenmann Sports Exhaust (though, the original system accompanies the car).

- Just undergone an extensive bodywork restoration, windows out re-paint and mechanical overhaul - 69,400 miles from new and offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates - Described as ''excellent" with regards to the bodywork, paintwork, engine and gearbox With the after effects of the 1956-1957 Suez Crisis being felt worldwide, Leonard Lord commissioned Alec Issigonis to work on a radical small car project. His response was the now legendary Mini.

2001 Daimler Majestic 4.0 LWB

Lot #60 (Sale Order 60 of 109)

- Built to a bespoke specification for the personal use of Her Majesty The Queen - First road registered on 4th June 2001 and passed to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in January 2007 - Less than 1,400 miles since leaving the Royal Household and just 15,325 miles from new Every British monarch has been chauffeured around in, and / or driven if they so wished, Daimlers since 1902 when King Edward VII granted the Coventry marque a Royal Warrant. Rolls-Royce and latterly Bentley may have become the preferred source of state limousines post-WW2 but Daimler remained happy to furnish the Royal Mews with less ostentatious conveyances that were better suited to private motoring. Built to a bespoke specification for the personal use of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, chassis F35595 was despatched from the Works on 14th March 2001 but not road registered as 'Y694 CDU' until 4th June that year. The nigh on three-month delay was necessitated by an intensive, circa 2,500-mile 'debugging' programme to ensure that the Majestic 4.0 Litre Long Wheelbase Saloon 'never failed to proceed'. Like HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of Wales, Her Majesty The Queen is known to favour Dark Green hues for her 'own' cars. Thus, the Daimler was finished in British Racing Green with Catkin leather upholstery and a subtle Red coachline. A Vehicle Features Enquiry conducted on Jaguar Cars Ltd's own Service and Warranty System reveals that the five-seater was specified without a rear cigar lighter, ashtrays or blinds but with a full-size spare wheel, touring suspension and more sumptuous rouched soft grain trim. The same document lists numbers for all the car's major mechanical components and even its radio code. However, the Daimler's key number is simply recorded as 'Not Authorised'. Naturally given its intended recipient the Majestic 4.0 Litre Long Wheelbase Saloon also boasts a number of extras not available to the general public. As well as an aversion to cigarette / cigar smoke, Her Majesty enjoyed driving (and being driven) with the windows down just not the one nearest to her. Thus, each rear armrest contains controls for both rear windows. The standard fit CD Auto Changer may have been omitted but an examination of the boot shows its place was once supplanted by equipment for keeping The Queen in touch with her Home Office and Government. Benefiting from steel cylinder liners as opposed to Nikasil coated ones for its 3996cc alloy V8 engine (rated at 280hp / 277lbft) and five-speed automatic transmission, the five-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 149mph; a useful turn of speed should the need ever have arisen to deploy it. The controls for a full suite of security lights are hidden within a compartment that would otherwise have housed the front ashtray / cigarette lighter. The alternately flashing front / rear foglamps and front-mounted strobe lights are not dissimilar to the set-up on an unmarked police car but the convoy lights which nestle either side of the rear view mirror would have made Queen Elizabeth II's presence aboard the Daimler immediately apparent to members of her security team especially at times of otherwise poor visibility. An even more personal touch is the nicely engineered handbag holding tray built into the armrest between the two front seats which ensured that it was readily accessible and kept away from any inadvertent footwell kicks. Her Majesty The Queen and HRH Prince Philip were both photographed driving (and being chauffeured in) 'Y694 CDU' on numerous occasions. In addition to commuting from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle, the Daimler was also used to attend polo matches and for social engagements. A letter on file from Jaguar Heritage confirms that the Majestic 4.0 Litre Long Wheelbase Saloon was 'used by HM The Queen for private motoring until returned to Jaguar for preservation by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, with little more than 14,000 miles 'on the clock'. Her Majesty then took delivery of a new Daimler'. The same missive also states 'She drove the car herself and it was also used as a royal relief vehicle. We gained control of the car when it was returned to Special Vehicles . . . The car was first registered on 4th June 2001 and we acquired it in January 2007'. An internal vehicle log records the Daimler as being a 'Gift from Jaguar Cars Limited' to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust and that it was MOT tested on 19th September 2007 at 14,485 miles. Sold into private hands some two years later, the five-seater had obviously had any sensitive communications equipment removed but interestingly its security lights were not only left in situ but also fully functional. Although, using them on the Queen's Highway would be illegal for mere mortals... PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1967 Volvo P1800 S

Lot #61 (Sale Order 61 of 109)

- Much restoration work in 2016 including sills, floor and outriggers - Glass-out repaint, White with original Red leather interior - Striking similarity to the final car featured in the 1960s TV series 'The Saint' Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst working at Frua, the Volvo P1800 sports car was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer's sleek two-door monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent front suspension, a coil-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine breathing through twin SU carburettors, allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, it was capable of over 100mph. The P1800 was immortalised in the 1960s TV series 'The Saint' starring the late Roger Moore and this lovely righthand drive UK example bears a striking resemblance to the last car used on the show (NUV 647E), even down to the unusual driving lamps. During filming, Moore used a Pearl White example upholstered with red interior as his personal transport. In 2016 the car was the subject of much restoration work including attention to the sills, chassis, floors and outriggers, followed by a glass-out repaint in white. Retaining its original red leather interior which is described as being in "good" condition, the odometer now displays some 92,600 miles. We are advised the bodywork, paintwork and panel gaps are all "excellent", whilst much of the chrome has been replaced. Both engine and transmission with overdrive are said to be "working well" and this stylish coupe rides on period style Minilite wheels. It is expected to possess a fresh MoT in time for the sale.

1954 Sunbeam-Talbot 90 MKIIa Drophead Coupe

Lot #62 (Sale Order 62 of 109)

- Dry stored as part of a private collection in recent years. Currently running and driving but would benefit from recommissioning / fettling. - Resident in New Zealand until 2002 and restored there during the mid 1980s - Further improved during the early 2000s and purchased from Hurst Park Autos Ltd Launched in July 1948, the Sunbeam-Talbot 90 was essentially a reworking of the company's pre-war 2-litre chassis design. However, the newcomer's adoption of overhead valve gear gave it a surprising turn of speed. Quick to capitalise, the Rootes competition department hastened the model's development. Thus, the 90 MKII of 1950 boasted not only a new chassis with independent front suspension but also a capacity increase to 2267cc. Driven by Stirling Moss, Desmond Scannell and John Cooper, a MKII finished second overall on the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally presaging the arrival of the faster, more powerful MKIIA. Equipped with bigger brakes and slotted wheels to assist cooling, the latter could be had in four-door Saloon or two-door Drophead Coupe guises. Bodied by Thrupp & Maberley, the soft top' MKIIA proved to be the rarest 90' derivative. Part of a County Wexford based collection since 2004, this particular example was supplied new to New Zealand. Fitted with a replacement MKII engine before being extensively mechanically and cosmetically restored during the mid-1980s, the Sunbeam-Talbot had its cylinder head overhauled in 2000. Repatriated the following year and UK road registered as LAS 714' in 2002, the Drophead Coupe gained a reconditioned gearbox some twelve months later courtesy of marque specialist Graham Brooks. Entering the current family ownership via the renowned Hurst Park Automobiles of Surrey during 2004, the four-seater remains presentable albeit its front bumper would benefit from re-chroming. Starting readily upon inspection, the Sunbeam-Talbot behaved well during a recent photography session but would doubtless be improved for a thorough service and other recommissioning works. A rare coachbuilt, four-seater 1950s Drophead Coupe. What's not to like? Offered for sale with assorted NZ paperwork, Hurst Park invoice and sundry other paperwork.

1995 Ferrari 456 GT

Lot #63 (Sale Order 63 of 109)

PLEASE NOTE: The drive belts were changed at 47,984 miles and the auxiliary belts at 50,472 miles in 2011 - Supplied new in the UK to European lefthand drive specification by HR Owen at a cost of £153,000 - Regularly maintained by aircraft mechanic Andrew Harmer of Brooke Garage, Norwich - Original factory wallet with service and handbooks, original sales brochure, large collection of old invoices, tax discs and MOTs At the time of its introduction in 1992, the 456 GT was Ferrari's most powerful road car to date (with the exception of the Race-bred F40). It was a replacement for the 412 and, in common with that model, was powered by a front-mounted V12 engine. However, rather than a 60deg unit as used previously, it was a 65deg one developed from the Dino V6. The output was 436bhp - sufficient to vault the 1690kg Prancing Horse to 62mph in around 5.2 seconds and on to a terminal speed of 188mph; making it the fastest four-seater production car of the time. The chassis was of tubular spaceframe construction, to which were added alloy body panels and a one-piece composite bonnet. Production of the various versions ran from 1992 to 2003, during which time 3,289 examples were made, of which 1,548 were manual GTs. M117 DLW' is a lefthand drive 1995 GT finished in the pleasing combination of Swatters Blue and CrÞme hide interior trim. It was supplied new in the UK to European lefthand drive specification by HR Owen at a cost of £153,000 with the original invoice included in the sale. There have been three keepers to date, the first of whom retained the Ferrari from 1995 to 2000, the second from 2000 to 2005, and the third for the 12 years until now. In recent times it has been regularly maintained by aircraft mechanic Andrew Harmer of Brooke Garage, Norwich, and in addition to routine maintenance has benefited from a new: master cylinder in 2010; clutch in 2011; cooling fan in 2012; drive and auxiliary belts in 2013; and new front tyres and oil service in May of this year. This lovely long term ownership, 61,000 mile classic Ferrari is now offered complete with Parrots hands-free phone kit / bluetooth music, integrated Tom Tom SAT/NAV, transferable life contract Trackstar tracker, original factory wallet with service and handbooks, full factory tool kit, tyre foam canister and a lovely history folder containing the original sales brochure, large collection of old invoices, tax discs and MOTs, including one valid into May 2018.

1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

Lot #64 (Sale Order 64 of 109)

Do you by any chance have any plans for next winter? If not, we've got the perfect solution - a 'barn find' 190 SL Mercedes in need of a full restoration. Take a look at the photos - there's surely nothing a little spit and polish won't rectify! Okay, so perhaps it's not for the faint hearted, but how great it would be to resurrect one of these now relatively rare and desirable classic Mercedes sports cars. A righthand drive UK specification model, it is apparently complete, finished in Dark Grey and trimmed in Red, and even comes with a White hardtop in addition to its Black hood. It has remained in the same ownership for the last 40 years and lain unused for the last 30. An enticing project being offered at No Reserve. The 190 SL was introduced in 1955 - the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300 SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, Convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR - the 300 SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300 SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the 'Ponton' Saloon (W121) platform, which was of steel monocoque construction. The 190 SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a very respectable maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox operated by a lever between the seats. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball, and braking by power-assisted drums at each corner. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1961 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 'Flat Floor' Roadster

Lot #65 (Sale Order 65 of 109)

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor is unhappy with the way the passenger door on this lot now closes. He has volunteered to have the door adjusted by XK Engineering should a new owner so wish. - Highly desirable 'flat floor' model with matching chassis and engine numbers (1 of just 1,582 made) - The subject of much recent restoration work by renowned marque specialist XK Engineering - Among the finest examples we have encountered Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While, early competition success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front / coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its dashboard was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. While any roadster is desirable, the so-called 'Flat Floor' cars enjoy a particularly exalted status. Dating from early in the production cycle before Jaguar responded to popular demand and had footwell recesses pressed into the model's previously 'Flat Floor' platform so that it could better accommodate tall drivers, they arguably represent the automotive icon in its purist form. Just 1,939 'Flat Floor' Roadsters (357 RHD, 1,582 LHD) left the Browns Lane factory and some fifty-years' worth of attrition means that survivors are not only scarce but also highly sought after. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Production Record Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 876192 - was built on 23rd November 1961 and despatched to Jaguar Cars' New York distribution hub eight days later. Originally finished in Carmen Red with Black leather and a Black hood, it was supplied new by Falvey Motors of Ferndale, Michigan to W.H. Mansfield. Migrating to the more car-friendly climate of California thereafter, the E-Type was repatriated by the vendor during late 2014 on the understanding that it was 'rust free' and comprised 'all factory sheetmetal, no cut out or replacement panels'. Said to be a 'nice driver' at the time, the two-seater was nonetheless entrusted to renowned marque specialist XK Engineering of Coventry with instructions that they restore the 'Flat Floor' Roadster to its former glory. Stripped back to bare metal and re-profiled as necessary, the bodywork was then painstakingly resprayed in its original Carmen Red hue. The interior was retrimmed in Black and thus adhered to factory specification too. Attention was paid to the wiring, fuel system, exhaust, brakes, steering and suspension with numerous components being repainted as well as refurbished. The brightwork was renewed or re-plated and a brand new Black hood installed. Considerable time and effort was spent on ensuring that the opening panels (bonnet, boot, doors) fitted properly and sat well within their apertures. Rubber seals were replaced throughout and the wire wheels shod with fresh Avon tyres. In keeping with XK Engineering's ethos, the wood-rim steering wheel was refurbished rather than replaced because it was deemed to be the one with which the car had left Browns Lane! Pleasingly retaining its original 'matching numbers' 3.8 litre straight-six engine, the E-Type was upgraded whilst Stateside with one of Jaguar's more user-friendly four-speed all-synchromesh gearboxes. Not long emerged from XK Engineering's workshops, chassis 876192 is worthy of close inspection and a testament to their craftsmanship.

1949 Dodge Wayfarer Roadster

Lot #67 (Sale Order 67 of 109)

- Presented in Aircruiser Red allied to Beige upholstery - Understood to have been fully restored in 2011 - Imported into the UK from Canada, where it had been a multiple trophy winner Low-cost two-seat Roadsters were plentiful and popular on the American market in the 20s, but somehow fell out of favour. So, in an attempt to spice up an otherwise rather lacklustre line-up 20 years later, Dodge hit upon the idea of turning the clock back and including a basic Roadster within its new 1949 Wayfarer range, that also comprised a two-door Saloon and Business Coupe and, of 63,816 Wayfarers sold that year, 5,420 were Roadsters. The emphasis was on fun and affordability, so the specification included a single bench-type front seat and relatively rudimentary hood. Power was provided by an L head straight-six engine of 3.8-litres. Those lower than hoped-for first year sales were put down to the post-war public requiring more creature comforts that their predecessors, so for 1950 the Roadster was slightly up-specced and renamed the Sportabout. As the required targets were still not met, the model had been dropped from the range by 1952, but there is no doubt its initial inclusion had created some much-needed interest in the otherwise rather tired Dodge brand and, as is so often the way (think MG C for example) the Roadster, the model that never quite took off in period, is now the most sought after of the Wayfarer family. The delightful 1949 example now offered was imported into the UK from Canada, where it had been a multiple trophy winner. It is understood to have been fully restored in 2011, work that included the fitment of new glass throughout and a fresh interior. The Dodge is presented in Aircruiser Red allied to Beige upholstery and the vendor these days classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and manual three-speed transmission as all being in Excellent' order. He says it runs and drives very well' and is selling the car with MOT into June 2018. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

Lot #68 (Sale Order 68 of 109)

- Very well presented with manual gearbox - Recently re-painted in its original colour of Silver - Described to have 'excellent' interior, bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission The E-Type, or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show of 1961. From birth, the car was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964. For 1966, a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range. It was 9 inches longer and featured a more vertical windscreen. What are known as the Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971. With the exception of a handful of now very rare examples, they were all fitted with a new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original (short) wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as a Roadster (now based on the longer 2+2 floorpan) or 2+2 Coupe. Production of the Series 3 cars continued until the entire model range was superseded by the XJS in 1975; by which time some 15,000 V12-engined cars had been produced - most of which were exported to North America. The Series 3 cars are readily identified from their predecessors by the large cross-slatted radiator grille, flared wheel arches and V12 badge on the rear. According to its accompanying Heritage Certificate, 'MCU 362K' departed the production line on March 23, 1972. A lefthand drive export model, it was despatched to British Leyland New York on May 2. Little is known of its subsequent history, other than it has recently benefited from a repaint in its original colour of Silver. Very well presented, this relatively rare manual gearbox V12 is now being offered complete with MOT valid to October 5 and is described by the vendor to have 'excellent' interior trim, bodywork, paintwork, engine and manual transmission.

1964 Austin Mini Cooper S 1071 'Hatchback'

Lot #69 (Sale Order 69 of 109)

Only 4,000 or so 1071cc-engined Mini Cooper S cars were made between April 1963 and August 1964. A Morris version built on January 2nd 1964, chassis K-A2S4-488266 was despatched to the Austin Motor Company's Experimental Department in Longbridge thereafter. Reportedly the sole survivor of just three Cooper S cars converted to hatchback specification and the only one to feature a steel rather than GRP tailgate, the re-badged Mini's first private keeper was the Rt Hon Ernest Marples MP who took delivery on August 22nd 1968. Notable for opening the M1 motorway and introducing more rigorous MOT tests plus the use of breathalysers, the former Minister for Transport is understood to have specifically wanted a hatchback to accommodate his golf clubs and / or the produce of his own vineyard! Having tried to place an order with John Cooper at the Racing Car Show, Lord Marples (as he became) was referred to the Chairman of BMC, George Harriman. As well as a bespoke folding rear bench seat, reversed door handles and special window frames, the unique Mini featured a padded headlining and dash rails not to mention non-standard front indicators and side repeater lights. However, it is not known whether these additions were made at the behest of its safety conscious first owner or while the car was resident in the Experimental Department. Part-exchanged by Lord Marples during 1974 for a Renault 5, the Austin (nee Morris) passed to enthusiast Alan Meaker eleven years later who embarked upon a concours standard restoration that was finally completed in 1994 with the help of Dave Gilbert from Classic Coopers. 'Replacing what I had to . . . repairing what I could', Mr Meaker was able to refurbish the original bodyshell and sourced a correct-type 1071cc S engine as well as factory specification 3.5J x 10inch slotted Cooper S wheels. Having covered just c.100 miles since its engine was overhauled, this historic Mini is deemed by the vendor to be in 'very good overall' condition.

1966 Jaguar MK II 3.4 Litre

Lot #70 (Sale Order 70 of 109)

- Original livery of Opalescent Silver Blue bodywork with Dark Blue leather interior trim - Offered with comprehensive history file and large selection of photographs of the restoration - High ratio back axle, rare Reutter reclining front seats and stainless steel exhaust system. Good MKII Jaguars have been highly sought after for years, and this very attractively presented home market example has had just two owners in the last 25 years and only four in total - the first of whom retained the car for 15 years and the second for a decade, during which she undertook regular trips to Switzerland for family holidays. It is finished in its original eye-catching livery of Opalescent Silver Blue bodywork teamed with Dark Navy Blue leather interior trim and rides on chrome wire wheels. The accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms the date of build as November 22, 1965, making it one of the first to be fitted with Jaguar's own all-synchromesh gearbox, which proved to be infinitely more user friendly than the Moss box it replaced. It is also equipped with a pair of rare Reutter reclining front seats, which are inevitably more comfortable than the standard non-adjustable chairs. Additional items of note include: overdrive and a high ratio back axle for more relaxed cruising, heated rear window, and stainless steel exhaust system. 'OVW505D' is known to have benefited from six years of dry storage in the late '90s and, at some stage, a 'glass removed' repaint which the vendor informs us was 'carried out to a very high standard and shown virtually no subsequent deterioration'. He adds 'the Jaguar is a lovely honest example which has been well maintained and improved over the years in the hands of four careful owners, and now offers an opportunity for a new custodian to enjoy the benefit of their commitment'. It is being sold complete with a comprehensive history file containing assorted maintenance invoices, an almost unbroken run of MOT certificates from 1969 to date, one valid into July 2018, the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, and a large selection of photographs of the restoration.

1966 Jaguar E-Type Roadster

Lot #71 (Sale Order 71 of 109)

- Fitted with 3.8-litre engine and Moss gearbox - Ex-USA car, restored 1999 - 2009, RHD conversion - Jaguar Dark Blue with Burgundy interior and blue hood and tonneau According to its accompanying JDHT Certificate, this Series One 4.2 E-Type Roadster was manufactured on 14 September 1966 and subsequently sold to its first owner, Thayer Bentley Hawkins of Youngstown, Ohio, via distributor Jaguar Cars, New York. Originally finished in Primrose with black interior, the last recorded US owners were also residents of Ohio. Falling into disuse and requiring restoration, the car was imported to the UK in December 1988. At some point, a 3.8-litre engine and Moss gearbox were installed and the car converted to RHD. Around 1999, as a rolling shell, it was purchased as a 60th birthday gift by the previous owner's wife and given to her husband. He duly set about completing the restoration for which detailed notes of works carried out are recorded in a note book contained in the history file along with an album of photographs and a large amount of receipts for parts. According to an entry by him on website 'xkedata', the body restoration had already been completed by the importer. Due to spending their winters in the Florida sun, progress was slow and the project would not be completed until 2009 / 2010. Repainted in Jaguar Dark Blue and retrimmed in Burgundy leather with a blue mohair hood and tonneau, some mechanical works (including comprehensive overhauls of the engine and gearbox) were carried out by Swallow Engineering of Basildon. Finally, in August 2010, the car was driven on the road for the first time in over thirty years. Acquired by the vendor in 2013, it has been used sparingly and cossetted in a carpeted garage. Whilst some cosmetic improvements could be made, FHJ 645D performed extremely well on a recent short test drive, as would be expected due to the minimal mileage covered since completion. A desirable Series One E-Type ready to be enjoyed, it is also offered with Swansea V5, MoT to June 2018, owner's handbook, service manual and spares catalogue.

1965 Ford Lotus Cortina

Lot #72 (Sale Order 72 of 109)

- Ex-Don Rose 'Aeroflow' Mk1 in fast road specification with current MoT - Twin 45 Dellortos recently overhauled, car restored in mid 1980s around new bodyshell - Thoroughly recommissioned in 2002-3 by David Abbott, little recent use, old FIA papers In 1963 Ford was looking to race the two-door MKI Cortina in Group 2, for which the obvious powerplant was the twin-cam version of the 'Kent' engine Colin Chapman had already developed for use in the Elan - the Lotus Cortina was born. In addition to the 105bhp 1558 cc engine, the changes included: a close-ratio gearbox, shorter front suspension struts, and trailing arms and coil springs with 'A' bracket at the rear. Wider 5.5J steel wheels were added, lightweight aluminium panels used for the doors, bonnet and boot and quarter bumpers added to the front. Interior amendments included: a new centre-console for the remote control gear lever, different seats and facia, and a wood-rim steering wheel. The MKI model was made until 1966, during which time the most significant upgrades included the adoption of Ford's new 'Airflow' ventilation system and the replacement of the troublesome 'A' bracket rear suspension with leaf springs and radius arms. This decidedly desirable second series 'Airflow' MKI was comprehensively restored around a new shell in the mid-1980s, while the Twincam Techniques engine featured increased compression ratio, enlarged ports, oversize valves, competition valve springs and high-lift Burton camshafts and breathes through a pair of twin choke 45DHLA Dellorto carburettors. The Lotus was thoroughly recommissioned in 2002/2003 by David Abbott at a cost in excess of £15,000 and then used to good effect by Don Rose in circuit races and hillclimbs, since when the car has seen little use. Very nicely presented in fast road specification and the classic combination of Ermine White and Sherwood Green side stripes, it retains its standard specification Black interior trim aside of a Cobra racing seat and Willans harness for the driver, and is now available complete with: large file of invoices; old FIA papers; competition photographs; and old MOTs, plus one valid to 16th September 2017.

1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II

Lot #73 (Sale Order 73 of 109)

The decidedly eye-catching righthand drive Cloud II on offer is finished in Cream over Silver and trimmed in Blue-piped Cream-coloured hide. It was apparently repatriated from the USA in c.2000 and acquired by the current keeper the following year, who has used it sparingly and dry-stored the Rolls between outings. It was restored in 2002, since when it has been maintained by a Dutch Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted 82,000 miles. The vendor considers the luxuriously reupholstered interior trim to be 'excellent', and the Standard Steel bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine and automatic transmission to all be in 'very good' order. We understand that at some point the air conditioning system was removed from the car, but it remains complete and forms part of the lot. An apparently fine example of the breed that's now seeking a suitably caring new keeper. Rolls-Royce launched the Silver Cloud in April 1955. It was based on a completely new closed box section frame topped by a distinguished-looking body penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley. The proportions belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in and clothed all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is eventually produced. The car was powered by an alloy-headed, 4.9-litre straight-six engine that delivered some 155bhp at 4,000 rpm and drove through a four-speed automatic transmission. The Silver Cloud II unveiled in 1959 brought a redesigned ventilation system and standardised power steering. The biggest change, however, was the replacement of the long-serving 4.9-litre six-cylinder engine with an all-alloy 6.2-litre V8 unit. The unquoted output was sufficient to whisk the newcomer to 60mph in under 11 seconds and on to a top speed of 112mph. At total of 2,717 Cloud IIs were built between 1959 and 1962 - 2,418 with the standard wheelbase and 299 with the optional longer one.

1938 Bentley 4.25 Litre James Young Sedanca Coupe

Lot #74 (Sale Order 74 of 109)

- One of just three Derby Bentley 'Overdrive' chassis to be bodied as a Sedanca Coupe by James Young - The work of renowned stylist A.F. McNeil who had previously penned some of Gurney Nutting's most notable creations - The subject of much restoration work during the 1990s and resident in a European collection before being recently repatriated Unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races, the Derby Bentley was underpinned by a 'double dropped' chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a more potent version of its Rolls-Royce 20/25 sibling's 3669cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was soon christened the 'Silent Sportscar'. Responding to increased competition from the likes of Alvis and Lagonda, Bentley gave its customers the option of a larger 4257cc engine during the 1936 season. Priced at £50, a comparatively modest sum compared to the cost of a basic chassis, the new unit proved so popular that the smaller capacity powerplant was soon dropped. Nicely balanced to begin with, the Derby Bentley chassis proved more than capable of handling the extra power and torque. Further revised in late 1938, the 'Silent Sportscar' gained centralised chassis lubrication, automatic shock absorbers (with hand control override), better steering, improved 'big-end' crankshaft bearings and - most importantly of all - an 'overdrive' gearbox with direct drive on 3rd gear and overdrive on 4th gear. Available from chassis B2MR onwards, these modifications allowed it to tackle Europe's first generation of high-speed roads such as Italy's autostradas or Germany's autobahns with confidence. Long sought after due to their relaxed cruising capabilities and theoretical 100mph plus performance (they were geared to 107mph in 'overdrive' top), production of the final MR and MX series amounted to a mere 200 cars. Arguably the pre-eminent British coachwork designer of the 1920s / 1930s, former Cunard Line employee A.F. McNeil jumped ship from Gurney Nutting to James Young shortly after the latter was acquired by Rolls-Royce and Bentley dealer Jack Barclay in 1937. Blessed with a wonderful eye for proportion and detail, McNeil penned a supremely elegant Sedanca Coupe design that James Young fitted to just three Derby Bentley 'Overdrive' Series chassis (B72MR, B86MR and B97MX). The first of the trio, chassis B72MR was supplied new to George Sinclair Brodrick Esq. on 15th November 1938. Aged just twenty-three at the time, Mr Brodrick was the grandson of American railway magnate Jay Gould who had once been deemed the world's richest man (the $2.7 million spent contesting his estate during the 1890s entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most costly legal action in history). Mr Brodrick's obituary in The Telegraph noted that he 'mixed dangerous cocktails' and 'went up to Trinity, Cambridge, where he arrived in his Bentley accompanied by his chauffeur. An impoverished young gentleman attended all the lectures on his behalf and provided him with a comprehensive set of notes three weeks before his Finals, which he sailed through'. Awarded an MBE for military service whilst serving in the Irish Guards during World War Two, Mr Brodrick sold the Bentley back to Jack Barclay during November 1940. Thereafter, it is known to have belonged to P.B. Cow Ltd, Harold Radford & Co Ltd, Mrs Howard Sneyd and Messrs Basil Roy Ltd before being acquired by Major P.R.J. Everidge FRCS OBE in February 1961. The veteran of numerous Continental runs during Major Everidge's custodianship, chassis B72MR had its original engine extensively overhauled at an indicated 84,584 miles by G. Ashley Carter of Dorchester, Oxon in November 1984 (£3,422.23). The subject of an article in Retroviseur magazine whilst owned by noted collector / dealer C.A.R. Howard and subsequently featured in his autobiography, the Bentley then passed to fellow dealer Gregor Fisken and on to Hugh Boucher Esq. of Sittingbourne, Kent. Mr Boucher had Derby Bentley specialist Blackmore Engineering Company refurbish the suspension, rejuvenate the heater, fettle the wiring and restore the dynamo etc during January 1997. The following month saw chassis B72MR entrusted to James E. Pearce Specialist Coachbuilders who fitted flashing indicators, rehung the doors and smartened its overall appearance. Further improved by Sargeants of Goudhurst at an indicated 92,733 miles during August 1997, the Bentley was serviced and sold via Frank Dale & Stepson to Dutch collector J.W. ten Ham some two years later. Reissued with its original registration number 'FGW 390' upon repatriation by Frank Dale & Stepson last Summer, chassis B72MR entered the current ownership not long afterwards...

1999 Maserati Quattroporte IV V8

Lot #76 (Sale Order 76 of 109)

- An exceptionally rare RHD 3.2 litre twin-turbo V8 engined Quattroporte, fitted with automatic transmission and an odometer recording just 48,600 miles - Supplied with hand and service books and also the original sales invoice showing it was sold new by then Maserati importers Meridian Majestic of Bournemouth and first registered 2 FLM - Much enjoyed by the multiple Maserati owning vendor, with a well-known marque specialist replacing the head gaskets and cambelts in 2015 Marcello Gandini completed his design of Maserati's fourth series Quattroporte with his signature slashed rear wheel arch style. A total of just 2,400 Quattroporte IV's are believed to have been manufactured between 1994 and 2001 using a range of engines including a twin-turbo 2.0 V6, a twin-turbo 2.8 V6, and a twin-turbo 3.2 V8. The V8 sported Ottocilindri (eight cylinder) badges on its front wings indicating that under the bonnet lay a 331 bhp power plant with 332 lb ft of torque. Whether mated to the six-speed manual or four speed automatic transmissions, performance was exceptional. Only 415 Ottocilindri models were built in LHD and RHD configurations before the Evoluzione models replaced them, and RHD production is estimated to be less than 50. The original sales invoice shows this RHD example was sold new by the then UK Maserati importers Meridian Majestic in Bournemouth and first registered to someone in Southampton, Hampshire, as 2 FLM. Finished in the attractive colour combination of metallic Madera red with black leather interior, the odometer records just 48,600 miles have been enjoyed since it was first registered in April 1999. Cherished by our vendor as a part of his multiple Maserati and Alfa Romeo collection, he had a well-known marque specialist replace the cambelts and head gaskets during 2015, just over 5,000 miles ago. The invoice for this work is on file and accompanies the original service book and a hand book. The vendor describes the car as having a "very good" engine, bodywork, and paintwork, and a "good" interior, and automatic transmission. He reports that the air bag light is currently illuminated and the ventilation system does not function. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1976 Triumph Stag

Lot #77 (Sale Order 77 of 109)

- Restored c.2005, engine overhaul, new brake callipers - Manual overdrive gearbox, Green with Tan interior - To be sold for the benefit of The Bridge Church, Woodford Green Like the Triumph 2000 it was developed from, the Stag was styled by Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, fully independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and driveline of that Saloon. The powerplant, however, was an all-new OHC V8 of 2997cc capacity. Production of the Stag ran from 1970 to 1977, during which some 25,939 examples were made - around 9,000 of which are believed to remain in the UK. This example is finished in green with tan interior and is being sold to benefit a charity raising funds in aid of The Bridge Church of Woodford Green. Understood to have been restored around 2005, the engine has been overhauled and new brake callipers fitted. Powered by Triumph's tuneful 3-litre V8 driving through an overdrive manual gearbox, the car is described as having "very good" bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and interior.

2000 TVR Cerbera Speed Six

Lot #78 (Sale Order 78 of 109)

The Cerbera's name is derived from Cerberus, the three-headed beast that was said to guard the entrance to Hades. Introduced in 1996, the model was the first Peter Wheeler-era TVR to feature the following: fixed head coachwork, 2+2-seating and in-house engines. Designed by race engineer Al Melling and inspired by contemporary Formula One practice, the new AJP8 'Speed Eight' V8 initially displaced 4.2-litres but later grew to 4.5 and 4.7-litres (a 4-litre in-line 'Speed Six' derivative was subsequently offered too). The 2000 example on offer is the latter Speed Six variant finished in the striking combination of Crystal Topaz paired with Portland Grey interior trim. Having had just 3 previous keepers and displaying a warranted 45,129 miles evidenced by the extensive service history, the seller presently grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'very good' order and 'W689 ALA' is offered with an MOT certificate to July 2nd 2018.

1972 Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa

Lot #79 (Sale Order 79 of 109)

- Believed to be one of only 989 911 S 2.4 Targa models produced in 1972 with the oil filler on the rear wing - Sold new in Naples, and resided in warm southern Italy until importation into England by the vendor in 2015 - A very original example having never required restoration and presented in lovely condition with its beautiful Gemini Blue paint colour The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity states this beautifully coloured 911 S 2.4 Targa left the factory in July 1972, finished in metallic gemini blue with black leatherette trim covering the optional sports seats. Other chosen options were a limited-slip differential, 3-point safety belts, and coloured glass. Originally registered in Napoli as NA795750, the 911 later moved further south and registered in the provinces of Catanzaro and Reggio Calabria. These areas of Italy are the closest part of the mainland to the beautiful island of Sicily, and one can imagine popping across the water and enjoying a few hours of spirited driving in the Targa on the historic Targa Florio route. Copies of Italian registration documents detail the relatively small number of people in the south of Italy who were fortunate enough to own this rare car, one of just 989 2.4 S Targa models believed to have been produced in 1972 (against 1,750 coupes). 1972 was significant for the 911 as it was the only year that the oil filler cap was located on the rear wing. In 2000 the 911 was registered in the Province of Avellino as AV111JG and in late 2011 the long-term owner sold it to a gentleman in Rome. The vendor acquired it from him in 2015 through a mutual friend, and it is believed the odometer was replaced some time before the owner in Rome acquired the car. An invoice on file (extremely rare with an Italian car as everything is paid for with cash) shows the Targa was sent to Sicily in 2013 to have the gearbox overhauled by a Porsche specialist in Palermo. Since the 911 has been in England the vendor has spent over £5,000 improving the car with some of the best names in the historic Porsche world. Work undertaken includes fitting RHD headlights, heat exchangers, a stainless-steel exhaust system, a tune of the engine, and a thorough service. Repainted in recent years, it appears this 911 has always been a cherished machine and therefore has never had the need to be stripped and restored. It retains that wonderful solid feel that only an original car can, something that is often lost during a full restoration. We are delighted to offer a highly desirable, outside oil filler, European supplied 911 S Targa that the vendor understandably describes as having "very good" engine and interior trim, with "excellent" bodywork, paintwork, and transmission.

1982 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible

Lot #80 (Sale Order 80 of 109)

- Displaying a credible 74,700 miles and fitted with refurbished steering rack - Recently subject to fuel injectors, pipework, two tyres and the hood being replaced - Offered with a collection of invoices and a no-advisory MOT into December 2017 Rolls-Royce registered the Corniche name in the 1930s and apparently assigned it to a prototype based on the Bentley MK V, but the model was never progressed due to the onset of war. The moniker was finally first employed in 1971 on the Coupe and Convertible versions of the Silver Shadow. In common with the Shadow, the newcomer was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley and the underbody and floorpan crafted by Pressed Steel Fisher. Initial assembly (including alloy bonnet, bootlid and doors) was then carried out by Mulliner Park Ward. At this stage the cars were transported to the main factory in Crewe for the installation of the running gear before returning to London for the trimming, painting and finishing. Power was provided by the company's long-standing 6.75-litre V8, that was mated to a GM Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission. Suspension was independent by coil springs all round, augmented by a Citroen-originated hydraulic self-levelling system. Braking was by discs, with ventilated units phased in for 1972. The model received a mild update in 1977, when alloy and rubber bumpers replaced the earlier chromed items and new style wheel rims and reversing lights were fitted. Under the bonnet, an aluminium radiator was adopted and an oil cooler added to the specification, while changes to the passenger compartment concerned newly-designed seats and refashioned facia. This lefthand drive Corniche was purchased by the vendor in New York in November 2015. Since using the car in the US he has had the fuel injectors, pipework, two tyres, the hood all replaced, the dashboard repaired and URM 702X' serviced. Further benefitting from a refurbished steering rack and brake pump the Rolls is offered with a collection of invoices and a no-advisory MOT into December 2017.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper S

Lot #81 (Sale Order 81 of 109)

PLEASE NOTE: This lot has been in store prior to arriving at the sale. The brakes were working when we photographed the car last month but now need attention. We suspect, but have not confirmed, a loss of brake fluid. - A RHD, 'home market' 1275 Cooper S that was supplied new via Moir & Baxter of Edinburgh - Originally finished in Almond Green with an Old English White roof and Porcelain Green upholstery with Dove Grey inserts - Treated to a full professional respray and mechanical reconditioning in 2008 and sparingly used as part of a private collection since then The chance meeting between John Cooper and Aurelio Lampredi at the 1959 Italian GP is now an established part of Mini folklore. Having charmed a very early 850cc model out of BMC and driven it to Monza, Cooper was accosted by Fiat engineer (and ex-Ferrari F1 designer) Lampredi. Infected by his old enemy's enthusiasm, the Italian asked to borrow the new wonder car. Returning several hours later, he heralded it as the future of automotive design before adding "if it weren't so ugly, I'd shoot myself". Unperturbed Cooper continued to harass Issigonis and BMC until they agreed to build a 'hot' version. Initially conceived as a homologation special, the Mini Cooper was launched in July 1961. Powered by an enlarged 997cc engine and benefiting from front disc brakes, it gave way to a succession of ever quicker variants culminating in the 1275 'S' of 1964. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, this particular example - chassis C-A2S7 / 893013 - was built to right-hand drive, home market specification complete with fresh air heater, extra fuel tank and oil cooler on 16th September 1966. Originally painted in Almond Green with an Old English White roof and trimmed using Porcelain Green upholstery with Dove Grey inserts - the same livery it pleasingly sports today - the Austin was dispatched to supplying dealer Moir & Baxter Limited of Edinburgh some five days later. Fitted with a Goldseal (factory replacement) MKIII Cooper S engine at some stage, the Mini is further understood to have been re-shelled prior to entering the current ownership during 2008. Reportedly treated to a full professional respray and mechanical reconditioning that same year, the diminutive sports saloon shows an unwarranted 735 miles to its correct-type 120mph speedometer. Still retaining its original Fife 'FFG 927D' registration number, this appealing MKI Cooper S has journeyed down from the Scottish capital especially for the sale.

1988 Porsche 911 Turbo

Lot #82 (Sale Order 82 of 109)

- Supplied new in May 1988 by Porsche dealer Gordon Ramsay Ltd of Newcastle - Subject to a top end engine overhaul by Unit Eleven Porsche in 2012 at a cost of £10,151 - Original service book containing 22 entries, original handbooks, large collection of invoices, old tax discs; and 22 old MOT certificates In the early 70s, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged version of the 911. A subsequent change in the rules negated the need for a precise number of street legal vehicles, but the company continued with the project anyway - the Porsche 911 Turbo (930) was born. The 930 was introduced at the Paris Motor Show of 1974 and produced from 1975 to 1989, during which time it was the fastest production car available on the German market. It was based around the Carrera 3.0RS. Initially, power output was 260bhp, but from 1978 it was increased to 300bhp by raising the engine capacity to 3.3-litres. To accommodate the extra performance over the 3.0RS, the 930 sported revised suspension, larger brakes and a more robust gearbox. Delivery of power to the road was aided by a whale tail' rear spoiler, while a wider rear wheel/tyre package was squeezed under specially flared arches. The very tidy-looking sale car was supplied new in May 1988 by Porsche dealer Gordon Ramsay Ltd of Newcastle. The vendor is its seventh keeper and the total mileage now stands at 94,500. Recent maintenance has included a top end engine overhaul by Unit Eleven Porsche of Warrington in 2012 at a cost of £10,151, and a minor service and brake fluid change as recently as June of this year. DCZ 1762' is finished in the classic combination of Guards Red bodywork and Black hide upholstery. The vendor currently classifies the Turbo's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, flat-six engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in very good' order. The Porsche comes complete with: comprehensive service book containing 22 entries; the original handbooks; a large collection of invoices and old tax discs; and no less than 22 old MOT certificates, plus an advisory-free one valid to May 23 of next year.

1970 Morris Mini Cooper S MKII Wood & Pickett Margrave

Lot #83 (Sale Order 83 of 109)

- Reputedly the sole Morris Mini Cooper S MKII converted by Wood & Pickett to Margrave specification (built on 19th August 1969, it was not road registered until 11th September 1970) - Previously owned by Leonard of Mayfair, Denny Laine of the Moody Blues / Wings and John Hammel, Sir Paul McCartney's guitar technician (the latter buying it back on several occasions) - Winner of the London to Brighton Mini Run 'Car of the Show' in 2009 and the subject of various magazine articles Reputedly the only Morris Mini Cooper S to be converted to Margrave specification by coachbuilder Wood & Pickett, chassis K-A2S6/1321285 was despatched to dealer Stewart & Arden Ltd of Acton, London on 9th December 1969 but not road registered as 'YYU 292H' until 11th September 1970. The ten-month gap was understandable given the craftsmanship that went into its subtly reworked exterior and thoroughly remodelled interior. Both front wings were given modest peaks (something of a W&P trademark), the headlamps gained hooded chrome surrounds (Riley 1.5 litre items) and the doors were modified to accept James Young-fabricated opening quarterlights, Piper electric windows and repositioned Princess 1100 handles. The Benelite front grille played host to Lucas LR9 spotlights, while a full-length Webasto sunroof and sleeker MKIII Mini boot lid were both added. A more aggressive stance came courtesy of wheelarch extensions housing wider wheels / tyres. Inside, the diminutive sports saloon was treated to Aston Martin DB6-style Black leather seats to complement its Aston Martin electric window switches, Rolls-Royce cigarette lighter, Rolls-Royce door handles and Jaguar / MG instrumentation. A drop bracket allowed the steering column to be repositioned and a padded central armrest with cubby nestled between the front seats. Left in standard Cooper S tune, 'YYU 292H' thus boasted a twin-carburettor fed 1275cc engine, four-speed manual transmission, hydrolastic independent suspension and disc/drum brakes. An accompanying copy of its original logbook reveals that the Margrave was initially finished in Beige / White and first registered to David Weir of 154 Pavilion Rd, London SW1 (which runs behind Sloane Street). It is pure supposition but we believe the Mr Weir in question to have been the American playboy millionaire David Manson Weir II who was living in London at the time and racing cars with Alain de Cadenet under the Ecurie Evergreen and Team Snake Speed banners. Heir to the National Steel Corporation fortune, David M. Weir II took his motorsport seriously (achieving a career best 4th overall at the 1971 Le Mans 24-hours) but was no stranger to the London party scene and would certainly have had the means to buy a coachbuilt Mini. If there is some doubt as to which Mr Weir first owned the car, the identity of its second keeper - Leonard Albert Lewis - is a certainty. Better known as Leonard of Mayfair, he converted 6 Upper Grosvenor Street, London W1 into a five-storey hairdressing salon and counted the following as clients: President John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tony Curtis, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Marley, Marie Helvin, Jerry Hall, David Bowie, Warren Beatty, Audrey Hepburn, Liza Minelli, Meryl Streep, Faye Dunaway, Barbara Streisand, Christine Keeler, Reggie Kray, Grace Kelly, Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick. Responsible for the haircuts in the latter's Clockwork Orange film, Lewis also helped transform Lesley Hornby into 'Twiggy' via a bold Eton Crop. Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick became lifelong friends as did the society writer Richard Compton Miller who described Lewis thus: 'He was the first hairdressing superstar, who taught John Frieda, Daniel Galvin, Nicky Clarke and many more household names. Leonard could barely read or write and yet created some of the unique styles of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. He was so renowned he was known only by his Christian name'. A bona fide trend setter and confidant of the rich and famous, it was Lewis who had the Margrave painted Pacific Dark Blue in 1971 (its copy logbook indicating the colour change took place in October that year). Given his status it is not difficult to imagine 'YYU 292H' roaring around London's hippest streets with some of the twentieth century's most famous people aboard! The sports saloon's third keeper is listed as Clive Arrowsmith of Abingdon Rd, London W8 who we presume to be the internationally renowned fashion and music industry photographer. Thereafter it was registered to Music Lore Ltd of 36 King's Road, London SW3 before being acquired by the musician John Frederick Hammel in 1974. Reportedly swapped for a BMW and £300 in cash and showing some 21,000 miles to its odometer at the time, the Cooper S was repainted Claret shortly thereafter...

1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

Lot #84 (Sale Order 84 of 109)

- One registered keeper from new and 1,733 recorded miles! - Last taxed for road use forty years ago - Treated to much recommissioning / restoration work by marque specialist Alan Collins of Maldon (2000-2009) - Never fitted with a stereo (blanking plate, speaker grilles and aerial bung remain in situ) - Retains its original 'matching numbers' engine and manual gearbox - The lowest mileage E-Type in the world? From its launch at the March 1963 Geneva Salon right through to the end of production in June 1974, Jaguar's E-Type remained among the world's most desirable cars. Able to inspire passion and devotion like few other machines, it is highly unusual - but not unprecedented - to come across examples which have had a sole registered keeper from new. However, what makes this one truly exceptional is its odometer reading of just 1,733 miles! A figure which George Adamek, who disposed of the car on behalf of the late Peter Ashcroft's family, has repeatedly stated is correct. Mr Adamek went as far as adding his details to the new keeper supplement of its V5C Registration Document but was persuaded not to send it off at the eleventh hour! According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, chassis 1R35256 was manufactured as a right-hand drive Series 2 4.2 litre 2+2 Coupe on 15th April 1969 and dispatched from the factory fifteen days later. Finished in Regency Red with Beige leather upholstery, the E-Type was supplied new via G. Blizzard Motors of Chorley Wood to the late Mr Ashcroft's company Wellfair Contractors. Road registered as 'KAR 66G' by Hertfordshire County Council on 9th May 1969, the Jaguar accompanied its owner as he moved to first Rainham and then Clacton-on-Sea in Essex. Despite last taxing the E-Type for road use in 1977, Mr Ashcroft commissioned marque specialist Alan Collins of Maldon to recommission / refurbish it some twenty-four years later. Understood to have been a deeply eccentric individual, Mr Ashcroft made such erratic stage payments that work on 'KAR 66G' was not completed until 2009. Passing its last MOT test on April 30th that year, the Jaguar has covered a mere five miles since then. Apparently, Mr Collins recalls his former customer switching from a full-blown rant to a request to service his everyday car almost within the same sentence and thus being as likely to threaten mischief as offer praise. A handwritten summary on file suggests Mr Ashcroft spent £26,345.61 with Mr Collins (which included brand new wire wheels and tyres) before laying the car up once more. Jaguar made a scant 1,041 Series 2 4.2 litre 2+2 Coupes to right-hand drive specification out of which 'KAR 66G' must surely be the lowest mileage example? We have not encountered another E-Type of any Series that can lay claim to such a low odometer reading. Sadly, Mr Ashcroft's motives for buying 'KAR 66G' remain a mystery. Nor do we know why he specified manual transmission or never seemingly installed a stereo (the associated blanking plate and aerial rubber bung are still in situ). This is almost certainly the only single registered keeper, 1,733 recorded mile E-Type that we will ever have the opportunity of offering for sale. An unrepeatable opportunity.

1929 Bugatti Type 44 Vanvooren Saloon

Lot #89 (Sale Order 89 of 109)

- Extensively restored by Wilkinsons Coachbuilders of Derby from 1990-94 and 8,500 miles since - Exquisite Vanvooren saloon body began life aboard another T44 that was supplied new to Jean Jacques Peugeot (of the car making dynasty) - Beautifully detailed with unusual triple-hinged doors and among the most delightful Vintage Saloons we have encountered "This Bugatti is decidedly sporting; yet it is just as emphatically smooth and sweet, and the flexibility on fourth speed is remarkable. When I ran Bugattis for two and a half years, I thought myself quite lucky if I got more than 400 or 500 yards of fourth speed in London . . . This 3 litre straight eight could be driven from 'The Bear' at Esher to Aldgate Pump on fourth speed, using third only for restarting after traffic lights. It is just as refined as it is fast; just as amusing a car in the hands as ever the little beggars were . . . For what my judgement is worth, the 23.6hp Bugatti is one of the five best, most interesting, most friendly, companionable and altogether delightful motorcars that can be bought in London today" (Edgar Duffield in the Automotor Journal, 1928). Introduced at the October 1927 Paris Salon, the Type 44 was heralded by Motorsport magazine as Bugatti's "first serious attempt at a Touring car". In the best Molsheim traditions, much of its exquisitely crafted running gear was common to other models. Thus, the new arrival's chassis was essentially carried over from the preceding Type 38, while its circular front axle, spiral-bevel back axle, four-speed manual gearbox and multi-plate clutch were derived from the Type 40 / Type 43 models. An acknowledged masterpiece, the Type 44's 2991cc straight-eight engine was based around two cast-iron cylinder blocks (complete with non-detachable heads) and boasted a centrally-driven single overhead camshaft that operated twenty-four valves (sixteen inlet / eight exhaust). Running in nine plain bearings (as opposed to the five roller ones used on the Type 35B etc), its finely balanced two-piece crankshaft endowed the unit with enviable smoothness and flexibility. Quoted as developing 80bhp, it was reputedly capable of running at anything from 125rpm to 4,500rpm. Praised for its pliant ride, taut handling and excellent refinement, the Type 44 rode on leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / reversed quarter-elliptic rear) and benefited from self-compensating cable-operated 330mm drum brakes. Bodied by the likes of Kellner, Weymann, James Young, Vanvooren and Molsheim itself, the Type 44's 3122mm wheelbase and 1250mm track played host to some wonderfully stylish coachwork. A typically strong performer - Motorsport magazine coaxed an indicated 95mph out of Colonel Sorel's fabric saloon - the model also proved to be Bugatti's most commercially successful car with some 1,095 rolling out of the factory gates between 1927 and 1930. Prized by enthusiasts worldwide, some led more adventurous lives than others (Norbert Jean Mahe drove his modified Type 44 to ninth overall but second in class at the 1934 Le Mans 24-hour race). Little more than ten percent of Type 44 production is thought to have survived to the present day. Indeed, this particular example owes its continued existence to two siblings which donated their original engine and coachwork respectively. According to renowned Bugatti historian David Sewell, chassis 44667 was delivered new to London and first registered as 'MT 1338' by Middlesex County Council. Although the identity of its first owner is a mystery, the Type 44 is known to have belonged to Eric Tutton Esq. of Hayfield, near Stockport by the late 1930s. Confronted with cracked cylinder blocks, Mr Tutton jettisoned the original 3-litre straight-eight engine in favour of a much smaller four-cylinder Bugatti 'Brescia' one. The replacement powerplant served for some 50,000 miles thanks, in part, to some frame rail shortening and the fitment of a lightweight tourer body (taken from a Riley Lynx). Acquired by dealer David Baldock Esq. some years later, chassis 44667 then passed to James Taylor Esq. (minus its second engine but complete with front / rear axles and gearbox). A Dover-based scrapyard owner, Mr Taylor retained the car until his death in 1980. Entering the current ownership a decade later, the original chassis frame was returned to its correct dimensions with the assistance of Mr Sewell who also helped source another Type 44 3-litre engine (ex-chassis 441192). As the then proprietor of the well-regarded coachbuilding / restoration firm Wilkinsons of Derby (established 1904), the vendor could have had any body design he fancied crafted for the Bugatti. Instead, he chose to rejuvenate the wonderfully elegant Vanvooren saloon coachwork that had initially adorned Jean-Jacques Peugeot's Type 44 (chassis 44694)...

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

Lot #90 (Sale Order 90 of 109)

- 1 of just 1,071 home market examples and matching numbers - 68,500 miles from new and a 1 owner example - Subject to mechanical fettling and a minor service at Jaguar Heritage workshop in 2015 Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type has become a motoring icon. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, its combination of all round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack and pinion steering gave it excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Finished in Regency Red this home market matching numbers example was despatched on the 20th July 1970 to Henlys of London and then to dealer Grose Westonia Ltd and bought by its one and only private keeper who took delivery of the Jaguar on the 29th July 1970 (the original sales invoice included in the sale). Having covered just 68,500 miles from new the extensive history file includes the original wallet and handbooks, original sale brochure, large collection of old MOT certificates going back to 1976, large collection of invoices and old tax discs, service manual and Jaguar parts books and original tool roll.

- Built in relatively small numbers and an eminently collectable example - Subject of a relatively-recent four-year restoration costing $40,000 - Edelbrock 4-barrel carburettor; and new headlining, seats and carpets The instant success of Ford's Mustang led to it being credited with the foundation of the so-called 'pony car' niche, obscuring the fact that the rival Plymouth Barracuda had reached the market two weeks earlier. It's true to say that the first generation Barracuda lacked the originality of its Ford rival but, happily, the second one was a very different kettle of fish, and featured stylishly-redesigned bodywork unique to the model. Built in relatively small numbers, this version is now eminently collectable. Imported from Canada, the handsome example now offered was the subject of a relatively-recent four-year restoration costing $40,000, which included: engine overhaul; the installation of an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburettor; and new headlining, seats and carpets.

The statistics are staggering: it was the first to be mass produced and the first to be manufactured in several countries simultaneously. Production ran for 19 years, during which time c.16.5 million examples were built. The chassis of the sale car is believed to have been British built, and then shipped to France for its coachwork, the style of which is known as Cammionette Tour and can be transformed from Tourer to Pick-up.

1971 Datsun 240Z

Lot #97 (Sale Order 97 of 109)

- This exceptionally original 240Z was manufactured in February 1971 and sold new in Georgia, USA, in May 1971 - Purchased new by a former US Air Force member, he retained the car in Georgia and covered a recorded 55,900 miles before selling it in July 2014 when 80 years old - Acquired by someone in Devon from the American owner and promptly imported into England, since when it has featured in two UK classic car magazines and only around 500 miles appear to have been driven Dick Friese was in the US Air Force and after returning to Warner Robins, Georgia, from Vietnam he desired to purchase one of the beautiful new Datsun 240Z's that were all over the motoring press, and he eventually found a Monte Carlo red example half an hour south of his Air Force Base. He bought it in May 1971 (it had been manufactured in February 1971) and ended up owning and enjoying it for the next 43 years. After Dick retired from the Air Force in July 1974 he moved to Atlanta, GA, and worked there until retiring in 1999. The Z was always a second car until 1986 when his daily-driver Ford F150 pick-up truck was used by his niece and the Z became a daily driver. Retired back to the garage in 1991 when he got his truck back, it was used sparingly thereafter, covering only a few journeys outside of Georgia as the F150 was used to travel to their other home in Florida. Maintenance bills on file from September 2013 show fuel was drained from the carburettors and gas tank, suggesting a lengthy period of inactivity. In May 2014 the odometer recorded just 55,950 miles, and at the age of 80 years old Dick made the painful decision to part with his much-loved Z and sold it to a classic car dealer in Devon, England who imported and registered it with the DVLA in July 2014. Since then it has appeared in articles in both Classic Cars and Classic & Sportscar magazines. The originality of this rare first series car's body is extraordinary, with just a few small areas being reported as ever having received paintwork since the factory applied their coat. The underside is seemingly untouched, and car bodies possessing this level of originality as well as having had one owner in the same area for the first 43 years of their life are exceptionally rare finds. With just one registered UK owner (the importer), the vendor describes the car as having "excellent" bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, and engine and transmission.

1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 2.9 Litre Saloon

Lot #98 (Sale Order 98 of 109)

- A home market matching numbers example with Mulliner-body - Powered by the relatively rare 2922cc engine - Displayinga a credible 65,334 miles and offered with history file 1947 was the year that the floundering British marques of Aston Martin and Lagonda were both saved from oblivion by wealthy Yorkshire industrialist David Brown, who bought and combined them to create Aston Martin Lagonda. The first product of the marriage was the 2-litre Sports, retrospectively dubbed the DB1. However, it was the DB2 that really paved the way forward - first seen in prototype form at Le Mans in 1949, the newcomer was officially launched at the New York Motor Show of April 1950. It then shot to prominence a mere two months later when, with three cars hastily snatched from the production line, the Works team finished first and second in class at Le Mans and won the Index of Performance. Next came the DB2/4 that was introduced to the public at the 1953 London Motor Show. Its significant developments were: the addition of a small rear seat that turned the car into a 2+2; the raised roofline to provide extra headroom for rear seat passengers and the curved, single-piece windscreen. Far more momentous, though, was the Aston's opening tailgate which we now appreciate made the DB2/4 the world's first hatchback'. The home market DB2/4 on offer is a matching numbers Mulliner-bodied car with cast aluminium sills, that is described by the vendor as ideal for a sympathetic or full restoration'. It has apparently remained within the same ownership for the last 22 years and is said to have a very solid chassis and body', which have been shot blasted for inspection. It is resplendent in its original livery of Mid Blue bodywork and Grey interior trim, is powered by the relatively rare 2922cc engine, and is now offered complete with a modest-sized history file and V5C. The recorded mileage currently stands at a credible but unverified 65,334. A rare and exciting opportunity. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

Lot #99 (Sale Order 99 of 109)

- 1 of just 1,583 RHD examples made and supplied new to George Edwin Jones Esq. of Totley, Sheffield - 'Matching' chassis and engine numbers and treated to a bare metal restoration by Baz Cope Engineering from 2013-2015 - Mr Cope used to work for renowned marque specialist CMC of Bridgnorth and incorporated strengthened sills etc - Accompanying history file includes the car's original green logbook and numerous restoration photos and bills etc Updated in August 1964, Jaguar's iconic E-Type gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the model's beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,583 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes had been made. According to its original green logbook, this particular example was initially road registered as 'GWA 505C' by Sheffield County Council on May 1st 1965. Supplied new to George Jones of Totley, it passed thereafter to John Wright, John Boyle, Ernest Moore, Goforths of Doncaster, Norman Bond, Griffiths & Norman and Robert Waugh of Hull. Laid-up following its acquisition by the latter in 1976, the Jaguar was re-registered with the DVLA some seven years later whilst in the care of Beverley resident I.C. Whiting. Subsequently belonging to David Baxter and Michael Wilson, the Fixed Head Coupe entered the current ownership during late November 2012. Formerly employed by renowned marque specialist CMC of Bridgnorth, Baz Cope provided mechanical assistance for several of Philip Porter's E-Type Club tours and it was on one such event that the vendor met and befriended him. Thus, Mr Cope agreed to undertake an extensive restoration of 'GWA 505C' at a heavily discounted labour rate. Photos on file show that chassis 1E20541 had been the subject of much 'corner cutting' work in the past. Hundreds of hours went into repairing its bodyshell and opening panels. The replacement sills were strengthened in accordance with current Martin Robey practice and a new engine frame installed. Attention was paid to the wiring, steering, clutch, heater, Webasto sunroof, cooling system, brakes, suspension and triple SU carburettors. Repainted and re-trimmed in Black, the Jaguar had much of its brightwork re-plated or renewed and was treated to a set of 'Lightweight' style alloy wheels shod with Bridgestone tyres. Submitted for MOT testing by Baz Cope on 21st May 2015 at an indicated 16,466 miles, that same year saw the E-Type benefit from a new starter motor, brake servo, replacement core plugs and electronic ignition courtesy of Newcastle-under-Lyme based marque specialist XJK (£2,458.44). XJK were also responsible for changing the fuel pump's points in August 2016 since when the two-seater has completed trouble free trips to Scotland and the Goodwood Revival. Having covered some 2,700 post refurbishment miles to date, the seller has concluded that stabling two Series I Fixed Head Coupes is an indulgence. Preferring the original interior of his other two-seater, he has thus decided to place 'GWA 505C' on the market. Pleasingly, the engine number listed on the car's original logbook and chassis plate (7E3374-9) matches the one stamped into its cylinder block and head. Starting readily upon inspection, this striking looking E-Type comes with several thousand pounds worth of SNG Barratt parts bills, numerous Baz Cope Engineering invoices (amounting to circa £36,000), assorted photos chronicling the bodyshell's rejuvenation and a 'no advisories' MOT certificate valid until May 2018.

1923 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 40/50 Tourer

Lot #100 (Sale Order 100 of 109)

- Sold by the factory in late 1923 to Sir Henry Samman and despatched to Barker & Co for a Limousine body to be fitted - Acquired by the vendor in October 1988 as rolling chassis with its original engine and rebodied shortly afterwards with the London-to-Edinburgh style open four-seater body currently fitted - Reported to have been in regular use as part of the vendors collection since re-acquiring its original registration number and returning to the road in 1993 The fascinating Silver Ghost now offered was built to the order of the Hull-based shipping magnate Sir Henry Samman, who had it clothed from new in a Limousine body by Barkers, from whom it came off test on November 14, 1923. The accompanying chassis records suggest that, Samman retained the Ghost until his death in March 1928, six months after which title for the car passed to a Frank Finn of Bridlington, Yorkshire. Little is then known of its history until the Rolls-Royce appeared at auction in July 1988, where it was purchased from the deceased estate of Rolls-Royce and Sunbeam collector J Ball by specialist marque dealer Brian Ball. It was from Brian Ball that the vendor acquired the car in October the same year. By that stage, though complete, it had been reduced to the state of rolling chassis and scuttle, and bonnet, and a seized engine. However, the ensuing transformation was swift and effective, resulting in the splendid motorcar now offered. The powerplant was stripped and re-assembled during 1988 and 1989 (no new parts were required and it was evident the block had never been repaired) and the vendor provides the following report: "when the engine was stripped and examined it was found to be locked on its seven main bearings from standing unused for many years, all that it needed was to scrape off the layer of carbon on the face of the bearings, the crankshaft itself was found to be perfect with zero wear, the rest of the engine was found to be in the same condition with minimal or no wear so after a careful clean all was reassembled and the engine ran perfectly". The gearbox and axle were treated to fresh oil. A coachbuilder of note, the vendor initially treated the Ghost to a four-seater open Tourer body, but shortly afterwards replaced that with the current London to Edinburgh-style coachwork. With the assistance of historian Michael Worthington-Williams the original registration 'BT 6611' was reclaimed in 1993, since when the venerable Ghost has enjoyed continual use, and starred in several weddings and a Welsh television drama. Prior to the sale it will be treated to a thorough clean, and the wheels repainted and shod with new tyres, while the non-original Spirit of Ecstasy mascot will be replaced by one of a slightly smaller size. Finished in Grey and trimmed in Navy Blue hide, this matching numbers Rolls-Royce is currently considered by the vendor to have 'very good' bodywork, interior trim, engine and transmission, and 'good' upholstery. A relatively rare opportunity to acquire one of only 7,874 Silver Ghosts made. The 40/50hp was the model upon which Rolls-Royce's reputation as manufacturers of 'The Best Car in the World' was founded, and it made its debut at the November 1906 London Motor Show. A conventional but beautifully executed design, the newcomer was based around a massive ladder-frame chassis equipped with leaf-spring suspension all-round, powerful rear wheel brakes and spiral-bevel final drive. Displacing 7036cc (7428cc from 1910), its six-cylinder engine featured a seven-bearing crankshaft, full pressure lubrication and 12 spark plugs (fed via a dual magneto / coil ignition system). This wonderfully torquey yet eerily quiet side-valve unit initially drove through a three-speed gearbox, but a further forward ratio was added from 1913. With a shrewd eye for publicity, Managing Director Claude Johnson had the company demonstrator 'AX 201' (the car that inspired the now legendary Silver Ghost moniker on account of its striking livery and silver-plated fittings) take part in both the 1907 Scottish Reliability Trial and an RAC scrutinised 15,000 mile endurance run immediately afterwards. Though made to journey between London and Glasgow no less than 27 times as part of the latter ordeal, a thorough post-event examination revealed the car had suffered no appreciable wear to its engine, gearbox, rear axle or brakes. Possessing a legendary eye for detail, Henry Royce continued to develop the 40/50hp model throughout its 18-year production life. Thus, late Silver Ghosts boasted considerably more horsepower (up from 48bhp at 1,250rpm to 80bhp at 2,250rpm) and therefore higher top speeds (some lightweight-bodied cars were timed at over 80mph) than their earlier brethren.

1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

Lot #101 (Sale Order 101 of 109)

- An original righthand drive example evidently benefitting from an earlier restoration and repaint - Maintenance work by well-known Jaguar specialist and JEC technical Director Ken Jenkins - Five-speed gearbox, Powerlock differential, high torque starter and Gaz adjustable dampers 'The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear without even a gearchange to interrupt one's headlong dash into the distance' - Autocar, July 5, 1973 By 1971, the E-Type had been in production for a decade and new emissions legislation in the all-important American market was threatening to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sports car fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 engine developed from the stillborn XJ13. With some 272bhp and 304 lb ft of torque on tap, the E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space and, together with wider tracks front and rear, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheelarches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, it also benefited from vented disc brakes and a restyled interior. This handsome Roadster hails from 1973 and is finished in the strident combination of Red bodywork and Black leather interior. An original righthand drive example, it has evidently benefited from an earlier restoration and repaint, and has covered just 6,000 miles in the last decade. It has been in the current ownership for four years, during which all maintenance work has been carried out by well-known Jaguar specialist and JEC technical Director Ken Jenkins. The E-Type boasts a range of desirable upgrades, including: five-speed gearbox, Powerlock differential, high torque starter, Gaz adjustable dampers, and halogen headlights. A new windscreen was fitted in 2014. The vendor presently views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 5.3-litre engine and manual gearbox as all 'very good' and is including 11 old MOTs and a current MOT into September.

1969 Austin Mini Cooper MKII

Lot #102 (Sale Order 102 of 109)

- Built on March 10th 1969 and supplied new via Murray and Charleton Ltd of Middlesborough - The subject of an extensive 'bare metal' restoration from 2010-2011 - A 'matching numbers' example that retains its original bodyshell Introduced in Autumn 1967, the MKII version of the Mini Cooper had lost none of its predecessor's vim or driving appeal. Powered by a 998cc four-cylinder A-series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was still capable of humbling many a more exotic sportscar when the going got twisty. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example was built on March 10th 1969 and despatched to Murray & Charleton Ltd of Middlesborough the following day. Originally finished in Tartan Red with Black upholstery, the Austin was acquired by its previous keeper, Robert Russell of Chelmsford, during November 2009. Having ascertained that the Mini retained its original bodyshell, engine and gearbox, Mr Russell set about an exhaustive 'bare metal' restoration which took over a year to complete (March 2010 - April 2011). An understanding of the lengths he went to can be gleaned from viewing the blog section of www.bornagaincars.com. Suffice to say that the refurbishment would have been wholly uneconomic if Mr Russell who is a System Engineer for the Ford Motor Company had entrusted it to a third party! A testament to the quality of the bodywork rejuvenation, the finished car apparently required no adjustment when checked with laser wheel alignment equipment. Mr Russell overhauled the engine and gearbox too as well as paying attention to the interior, steering, suspension, electrics, carburettors and subframes etc. A real labour of love, the Cooper was acquired by the vendor in April 2013 as a 'starter classic' for his children. Sadly, they have not taken to it and aside from some sunny day outings 'NXG 805G' has been little used. Deemed by the vendor to be 'very good' with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, the Austin remains a fine testament to Mr Russell's skill. Offered for sale with BMIHT Certificate, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until May 2018. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1964 Jaguar E-Type Coupe

Lot #103 (Sale Order 103 of 109)

- Supplied new via Jaguar Cars of New York in 1964 and repatriated some twenty-seven years later - Entrusted to RS Classics of North Shields by its long-term keeper for an extensive restoration that was completed in 2016 - Uprated with 4.2 litre engine, all synchromesh gearbox and better brakes The Jaguar E-Type was the sports car that (a) put the swinging into the 'swinging sixties', (b) no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed 'the most beautiful car in the world', and (c) transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. Though not designed as a racer, the E-Type was nevertheless a direct descendent of the all-conquering D-Type - motorsport was embedded in its DNA. Small wonder then that, just one month from launch, Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori drove the Equipe Endeavour E-Type ('ECD 400') to victory at Oulton Park. The die was cast, and the E-Type has continued to be a winner ever since. In 1996 the New York City Museum of Modern Art recognised the model's design significance by adding a blue Roadster to its collection - one of only six motorcars to achieve the distinction. Supplied new via Jaguar Cars of New York in 1964, chassis 890528 was repatriated some twenty-seven years later. Converted from left- to right-hand drive thereafter, the E-type also benefited from the installation of a larger 4.2 litre XK DOHC engine, all synchromesh gearbox and uprated brakes. Having served its last registered keeper well for nigh on twenty-five years, the two-seater was despatched to RS Classics of North Shields as a reward. Specialising in Jaguar E-Types and Porsches as well as RS Fords, the family run firm stripped 'EVH 121B' back to a bare shell and then had it soda blasted (revealing the Coupe's original body number tag in the process). Mounted on a rotisserie frame, the monocoque was carefully repaired and lead loaded as necessary before being repainted in its initial Golden Sand livery (a striking hue that none other than Lofty England specified for his own E-Type Series I Fixed Head Coupe). The installation of an earlier-type turned aluminium dashboard and centre console made for a wonderful contrast with the new Black leather upholstery and Beige headlining. Body coloured stone protection was applied to the underside and the engine and gearbox repainted prior to reinstallation (the former being treated to new core plugs). The wiring loom was reinstated and the brightwork rejuvenated. Attention was paid to the steering, brakes and suspension too and modern anti-vibration matting added to the floorpan / footwells. The refurbishment was completed last year and chronicled via a 58-page pdf document copies of which can be sent to interested parties. Starting readily upon inspection, this undeniably handsome E-Type is variously described by the vendor as being in 'good' (electrical equipment), 'very good' (gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) or 'excellent' (engine) condition. Worthy of close inspection, it is accompanied by a MOT certificate valid until September 2017. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1975 Rolls-Royce Camargue

Lot #104 (Sale Order 104 of 109)

- 1 of just 525 Camargues made and 34,500 miles from new - Purchased by the mercurial Raymond Way on 18th June 1975 for £29,250 as a 'used' car (it was initally the Jack Barclay demonstrator) - Current family ownership for the past 20 years and 6,000 miles When launched in March 1975, the Camargue was the world's most expensive production car; for the price of which you could have bought five Jaguar XJ6s or 26 Minis! Styled by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina, it was the first post-WW2 Rolls-Royce not to be designed in-house. The model's sleek two-door coachwork was crafted in London by Mulliner Park Ward and power was provided by an uprated version of Rolls-Royce's 6750cc V8 engine mated to Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. Between 1975 and 1986 just 525 Rolls-Royce Camargues were produced (plus one bearing Bentley badges). Finished in Richmond Blue with Turquoise leather upholstery, chassis JRH18624 initially served as Jack Barclay Ltd's demonstrator before being bought on 18th June 1975 by the mercurial Raymond Way whose career encompassed: Brooklands racing driver; RAF pilot; proprietor of Shackleton Aviation; Lloyds underwriter; boxing and wrestling promoter; farmer; Radio Luxembourg motoring correspondent; Home Guard soldier with Tommy Trinder; fairground barker; and renowned car / motorcycle salesman. Even 'used' the Camargue cost a staggering £29,250 with £14,000 being made as an allowance against Mr Way's Phantom VI! The accompanying history file is packed with fascinating correspondence between Mr Way and Victor Barclay giving a true glimpse into a bygone era. Another letter on file dated 7th April 1997 simply states: 'This vehicle was registered in the name of the TWR Group in order to transfer the registration number '1 RW' and was not used by ourselves'. Entering the current family ownership that same year via marque specialist Colbrook, the Rolls-Royce has covered just 34,500 miles from new. One of just 65 cars to utilise twin SU carburettors, it is described by the vendor as being in 'very good' (bodywork, paintwork, interior trim) or 'excellent' (engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment) condition. A notably early, low mileage Camargue with a fabulous provenance, 'YJL 621' is MOT'd until June 2018. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1964 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupe

Lot #105 (Sale Order 105 of 109)

- A matching numbers example displaying a credible 21,339 miles - Recently treated to a classic Jaguar alloy radiator, Coolcat fan, silicone radiator hoses, Polybush steering rack mounts, upgraded engine mounts and H4 headlight upgrades - Tended to by Moss Jaguar Ltd and offered with a fresh MOT Received wisdom says that to become truly valuable, cars have to be both desirable and rare, in which case Jaguar's immortal E-Type is the exception that proves the rule. Nobody is denying its desirability - remember that no lesser an automotive authority than Enzo Ferrari dubbed it the 'most beautiful car ever made' - but with a production run topping 77,000, rare it most certainly is not. Yet, unquestionably stoked by the car's still relatively recent 50th anniversary, the market for Malcolm Sayer's masterpiece has been decidedly buoyant for all versions. Enthusiast drivers will tell you that the best on-road experience is provided by the Series II Coupe, while purists understandably decry that model's federal lights and bumpers, and will hear only of the early Series I cars, as powered by the original 3.8-litre engine. In their eyes, first is best. Current values support this thinking, which brings us to the example on offer - a lefthand drive September 1963 3.8-engined Coupe finished in Primrose Yellow and trimmed in Black. It was shipped new to Jaguar Cars New York and on to California where 'PTU 342B' has spent the bulk of its life. It is understood to have been used sparingly, meaning the indicated mileage of just 21,339 is credible, though not warranted. The Jaguar returned to these shores in late 2015, since when it has been tended to by Moss Jaguar Ltd, who have: stripped and Waxoyled the doors; installed a new Classic Jaguar alloy radiator, Coolcat fan, silicone radiator hoses, Polybush steering rack mounts, upgraded engine mounts, and exhaust heat shields; fitted Dynamat to the floor pans and H4 headlight upgrades; and powder or nickel plated various under-bonnet parts. The vendor presently grades the interior trim as 'very good' and the bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission as 'good', and is offering the car with a new MOT.

1954 MG TF 1500

Lot #106 (Sale Order 106 of 109)

- 1 of just 3,400 MG TF 1500s made and supplied new to the USA - Repatriated by renowned motoring artist the late James Allington and restored from 1993-1998 - Original XPEG 1500 engine, converted to RHD but otherwise returned as close as possible to factory specification 'Of all the cars we have occasion to drive, there is one above all others which, by its every characteristic, clearly defines the term sportscar' (Road & Track magazine on the MG TF, 1954) Last of the MG T-series line, the TF was introduced in October 1953. Although mechanically near identical to its TD predecessor, the provision of a raked radiator, revised wing line and faired-in headlamps lent it an altogether sleeker and sportier air. Powered by a revised version of the well-proven, four-cylinder XPAG engine but this time using larger valves, a higher compression ratio and twin SU 1.5in carburettors, the new model was reputedly capable of over 80mph. Equipped with both rack-and-pinion steering and independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, it helped maintain the marque's 'Safety Fast' reputation. Around 6,200 TF1250s were made, followed by 3,400 XPEG-engined 1500s. According to the T Register's online production record checking facility, this particular example was built to left-hand drive specification on 20th October 1954. Originally finished in Dark Red and despatched to North America, it was found to be 'rust free' when repatriated from California by the late James Allington during 1993. A renowned motoring artist famed for his beautifully executed cut-away drawings, Mr Allington reportedly spent the next five years restoring the MG to concours condition as a gift to his daughter Sophie with help from marque specialist Brown & Gammons of Baldock and Steve Hart of Norfolk (the latter being better known for his work on Maseratis). Pleasingly retaining its original engine (number XPEG/1428), the two-seater is understood to have been returned to as near factory specification as possible. Offered for sale by the Allington family complete with signed print of a cut-away drawing, they presently rate its engine, bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and electrical equipment as 'excellent' and the four-speed manual gearbox as 'very good'.

1960 Jaguar MK II 3.8 Litre

Lot #107 (Sale Order 107 of 109)

- Subject to an extensive, documented restoration in the 1990's - Believed to have covered just 30,500 miles from new - Fitted with the preferred four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission For many the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MKII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque's first monocoque design. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MKII was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, the range-topping 3.8 boasted nearly seven times the horsepower of a Mini 850 and a 126mph top speed! Blessed with one of the all-time great automotive interiors, its stylish instrumentation, rich wood veneers and sumptuous leather upholstery all conspired to cosset and cocoon occupants. Finished in Red with Magnolia leather upholstery, this particular example was built to right-hand drive specification. Seemingly laid-up for a while, the MKII was re-registered with the DVLA on 6th February 1990 following the completion of 'an extensive, documented restoration'. Believed to have covered just 30,500 miles from new, the Jaguar is said to have been 'well maintained' since being acquired by its last registered keeper during 2007 and to consequently 'run and drive very well'. Fitted with the preferred four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, this smart sports saloon is accompanied by an 'impressive history file containing operating manuals and MOTs dating back to 1996' (its most recently issued certificate is valid until February 2018).

1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal

Lot #108 (Sale Order 108 of 109)

- Recent mechanical work by Montreal specialists Super Engineering - White with black velour interior, c.71,500km - French registered, LHD example of this stunning grand tourer Asked to produce a cutting edge automotive design for the 1967 Montreal Expo that would "express man's ultimate aspirations in the field of motor cars", Alfa Romeo enlisted the help of Carrozzeria Bertone. Penned by Marcello Gandini, the resultant show car caused a sensation and inspired Alfa Romeo to start work on a production version which debuted at the 1970 Geneva Salon. With its shark-nosed profile, NACA-style bonnet duct and vented B-posts, the newcomer had been eagerly awaited by the press and public alike. However, many automotive journalists at the time, who were anticipating a bona fide supercar rather than a competent grand tourer, gave the car mixed reviews. Nevertheless, its all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double-wishbone front / 'live' trailing arm rear) and ventilated disc brakes helped ensure decent roadholding and handling. Powered by a dry-sump 2593cc 'quad-cam' fuel-injected V8 derived from Alfa Romeo's successful Tipo 33/2 sports racers, the model also boasted a ZF five-speed manual gearbox and limited slip differential. With a quoted 200bhp and 173lbft of torque on tap, it was capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 137mph. Marketed somewhat haphazardly between 1970 and 1977 and hampered by the fuel crisis of the early years of that decade, despite strong initial public demand just 3,925 Montreals are thought to have been made. In recent years Gandini's design has come to be appreciated for exactly what it is - an exotic and highly capable long-distance tourer which never fails to turn heads. This French registered lefthand drive example is finished in White Bianco with black velour seats and has recently received a mechanical overhaul by Montreal specialists Super Engineering. The vendor advises some £10,000 has been spent including a new exhaust system and injection system overhaul. Described as being in "good" condition with regard to its bodywork, paintwork, engine, interior and gearbox, it is understood a detailed report of the recent works undertaken will accompany the car.

1967 Volkswagen Kombi Riviera Camper Van

Lot #109 (Sale Order 109 of 109)

- Two previous owners, recent cosmetic improvements - Imported to UK in 2003 and comprehensively restored by Wolfsburg VWs - Featured in VolksWorld magazine in 2004, Teak interior Volkswagen Type 2 camper vans are not common or garden fare, they are a lifestyle on wheels, beloved by generations of all manner of outdoor-oriented folk from hippies to surfers and those who simply enjoy, well, camping. They exude character in a way modern people carriers can only dream of and will continue to appreciate in value. All this and more was what led the previous owner to go searching for a Splitscreen example to enjoy. An advert by Wolfsburg VWs - Type 2 Specialists caught his eye back in 2003 and a call revealed they had imported 'HCK 101E' from San Diego and were in the process of comprehensively restoring it. It turned out to be a lefthand drive, rust-free, 1967 1500 van with Riviera camper conversion that had had just one American owner from new. Wolfsburg left no stone unturned - all the mechanical components received attention, from engine to gearbox and steering to brakes etc. The body was treated to a bare metal respray in Pearl White and the interior was completely refurbished in oak-veneered board (in place of the original cheap veneered plywood) and Red upholstery. Westfalia-style roof racks were affixed to the top and an up-to-date sound system cunningly installed below the facia. The result was clearly stunning and suitably enthusiastically reported upon in the January 2004 issue of Volksworld magazine. Purchased from us by the vendor earlier this year, in his ownership this three owner 'Splittie' has been subject to cosmetic improvement. Fully intending to enjoy the vehicle following completion of these works, it is now only being reluctantly offered for sale due to medical reasons.
