1970 Ford Escort Mexico Auction ends 17:00 BST • 03/10/26
The oldest surviving AVO-built Mexico in existence, and one of just four cars built before production even began. Built in October 1970 ahead of full production, this car began life as a Ford press demonstrator, its 'LVX' registration plate confirming that pedigree. It went on to be lent to the Hendon police high-speed pursuit training college before being bought by a duty officer, and has passed through eight registered keepers since.
The current owner has held it for two decades, investing approximately £60,000 in a ground-up rebuild carried out by respected Escort specialists The Escort Agency and Montescort, including £20,000 on bodywork alone. The Crossflow 1,601cc engine was rebuilt and recently dyno-tested at nearly 99bhp. Rather than a concours restoration, the car was deliberately
“An AVO Escort Mexico - beautifully restored and ready for its next custodian”
finished to look and feel authentically used, retaining period touches like Contour seats, a Springalex wheel and rare original rubber mats. A voluntary MOT runs to August 2027 with no advisories.

2009 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 997.1 Auction ends 17:05 BST • 03/10/26
The last GT3 RS to run a manual gearbox, hydraulic steering and the legendary Mezger engine together, with no electronic assistance getting between driver and car. Even amidst the pantheon of 911 GT3 RS, the 997.1 deserves special attention, pairing the motorsport-derived Mezger flat-six with a six-speed manual and pure hydraulic steering - a combination we have never seen since. Only around 1,168 examples were built, and as a 2009 car, this is among the very last before the Phase 2 facelift arrived.
French-registered from new and with a single owner throughout, it wears the iconic RS Orange livery with the extended Clubsport and carbon packs, PCCB ceramic brakes and Sport Chrono. The vendor reports it's been carefully preserved and still wears its original tyres, with a major service and clean PIWIS diagnostic report just completed within the Porsche network.
“Mezger engine, manual gearbox, hydraulic steering: this is the last GT3 RS built with zero electronic filtering between driver and machine.” Alex Cortey

1946 Delahaye 135 M ThreePosition Cabriolet Auction ends 17:10 BST • 03/10/26 Concours-winning, rally-proven, and one of the most sophisticated French grand tourers to survive from the immediate post-war years. The 135 M built its reputation on Le Mans and Rallye Monte-Carlo, its 3.6-litre long-stroke straight-six and four-speed manual offering performance and refinement that rivalled the best Britain and Italy had to offer. This 1946 example wears elegant two-tone red coachwork over a black leather interior, and has undergone a complete mechanical restoration, including an engine rebuild with new clutch, plus a replaced gearbox, differential, exhaust, brakes, wheels and tyres, all carried out by Belcher Engineering in Norfolk, recognised specialists in competition and lightweight Delahaye 135s.
Under its previous owner it won multiple concours d'élégance and exhibition awards, and since 2014 the current keeper has used it extensively on French rallies, reportedly without a single issue. It retains its original French Marchal lighting, OS instruments and polished wooden dashboard. Offered for sale only due to its owner's advancing years.
“Award-winning under one owner, rally-proven under the next: this Delahaye has already answered the only question that matters with any classic, whether it actually gets used.” Alex Cortey

See the full listing
Auction ends 17:15 BST • 03/10/26
Henrik Fisker's modern homage to the 507, with an E39 M5 heart, and one owner for the past 23 years. Hand-built at BMW's Dingolfing plant with an aluminium body and spaceframe chassis, the Z8 paired striking retro styling with the 400bhp 4.9-litre V8 from the E39 M5 and a six-speed manual, all in a single, fully-loaded specification with almost no factory options beyond colour. With only around 5,700 built between 2000 and 2003, it's become one of the most collectable modern BMWs.
This left-hand drive example was first registered in October 2000 and has covered just 17,700 miles, having been acquired from the prestigious Hexagon of Highgate in March 2003 and kept by the same owner ever since. Service history runs from the predelivery inspection onwards, carried out by BMW specialists throughout, and it's to be offered freshly MOT tested. Finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over black Nappa leather, it retains its original colour-matched hardtop, turning the roadster into an elegant coupé at will.
“Twenty-three years with one owner and barely 17,700 miles covered: this is one of the best-kept Z8s you're likely to find anywhere.” Guy Newton

2002 BMW Z3M E36/8 Auction ends 17:20 BST • 03/10/26
It may have been nicknamed the "clownshoe", but there’s nothing funny about this car’s performance: One of the fastest things round the Nürburgring in period, ahead of even the M3. The Z3 M Coupé borrowed the S50/S52 straight-six from the E36 M3 and wrapped it in a Z3-based shooting-brake body. It quickly became a cult favourite among BMW's own engineers for its razor-sharp, function-over-form chassis. This right-hand drive example was originally registered new in Portugal in September 1999 before making its way to the UK, where it's remained since, finished in the highly regarded Estoril Blue Metallic with Style 40 alloys and an optional extra sunroof.
Showing 35,422 miles, it comes with an impressive paper trail, including its V5C, book pack, stamped service book and invoices
“Portugueseregistered from new, imported to the UK, and to be sold freshly serviced, this Z3M has everything going for it.”

1969 MercedesBenz 280 SL W113 'Pagoda' Auction ends 17:30 BST • 03/10/26
A restoration so thorough, even the underside has been finished in body colour rather than hidden under underseal. The Pagoda's concave hardtop wasn't just styling; Béla Barényi engineered it for rollover safety, wrapped in Paul Bracq's cleanlined design that still feels remarkably modern six decades on.
This UK-supplied, right-hand drive 1969 example has undergone a no-expense-spared restoration completed in 2024/25 by a European Mercedes-Benz specialist, the same company whose work on the vendor's other SL won best in class at the 2025 London Concours.
Every major mechanical component has been rebuilt or replaced, including the engine, fuel injection, automatic transmission, steering and braking systems, while matching-numbers engine and gearbox are confirmed against the Mercedes-Benz data card.
“Restored by the same specialist behind a London Concours class winner, with matching numbers and barely 110 miles covered since: this is Pagoda is as good as they come”
Finished in Medium Metallic Blue over cream leather, the vendor describes both exterior and interior as "10/10", with just 110 miles showing since completion. It also carries a piece of television history, having been driven by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear. The advisory-free voluntary MOT runs to June 2027.

1961 AbarthFiat 1000 Auction ends 17:35 BST • 03/10/26
A pocket-sized giant-killer now finally restored the way it deserved to be. Carlo Abarth built his reputation squeezing huge performance from humble Fiat underpinnings, and the twin-cam 1000 Bialbero was the ultimate expression of that philosophy, weighing under 544kg yet producing up to 100bhp.
This example, chassis 860214, is described in period documentation as one of the very earliest built, almost a prototype, and comes with its original 1961 Abarth factory invoice and a place on the official production register. Raced by Umberto Maglioli in the Gran Premio de la Independencia, it finished 3rd overall and 1st in class, ahead of a Porsche.
After decades in Mexico and the US, the car arrived in Italy in 2004 in poor condition, its bodywork later disguised under an inadequate yellow paint job. The current owner acquired it in 2019 and stripped it back to bare aluminium, correcting years of filler and completing a proper restoration in 2023, finished in the correct original red with its correct rebuilt Bialbero engine reinstated. It now holds the Fiat Historic Register gold plaque.
“A podium finish ahead of a Porsche, on a car weighing barely half a tonne, this car was a true giant-killer in period. Today, it’s in wonderful condition following an extensive restoration” Guy Newton

1970 Lynx XKSS
See the full listing
Auction ends 17:45 BST • 03/10/26
The car Jaguar built almost by accident in 1957, recreated properly by the specialists who know them better than almost anyone. The XKSS exists because Jaguar had unsold D-Types after withdrawing from racing in 1956, and simply road-converted them. Only 16 were finished before a factory fire ended production, and when Jaguar itself built nine continuation cars in 2016-17, they sold instantly for over £1 million each. Lynx, founded in 1968, remains the foremost name in Jaguar continuation work, and this example left their East Sussex factory in 1979 as a long-nose D-Type replica on a 1970 E-Type platform.
Returned to the UK in 2020, it was handed to D-Type specialists D-Type Developments, who converted it to XKSS specification exactly as Jaguar had done in 1957. Finished in Sherwood Green over tan leather, it retains E-Type independent rear suspension for genuinely usable road manners, and runs a 3.8-litre XK engine rebuilt from the original 3.4. Best of all, it’s road-legal, ready to go and the NUB numberplate adds to its Jaguar heritage look.
“Genuine period Lynx build quality and a DType Developments conversion mirroring Jaguar's own 1957 process, this is about as close to the real thing as continuation cars get.” Guy Newton

1972 BMW 3.0 CSL Coupé E9 (3.5-litre) Auction ends 17:50 BST • 03/10/26
BMW’s sporting E9 Coupé, uprated to 3.5-litre specification. Born to satisfy European Touring Car homologation rules, the lightweight CSL coupé, styled under the shark-nosed Hofmeister era, has become one of the most revered BMWs ever built, prized as much for its motorsport pedigree as for its elegant design. This 1972 example has remained with the same private collection since March 1983, dry-stored and maintained throughout by an on-site mechanic.
Rather than sitting as an untouched original, it's been thoughtfully upgraded with a 3.5-litre motorsport-derived engine and close-ratio six-speed gearbox, fitted around 20 years ago, alongside genuine Alpina wheels, with the original
“Forty-three years with one caretaker and a sympathetic engine upgrade, this CSL has been set up for driving and enjoying as its makers intended.”

1990 Porsche 911 C4 Targa 964 Auction ends 17:55 BST • 03/10/26
The last 911 Targa with a proper lift-out roof panel, and one of the increasingly few 964s never touched by the backdating trend. Built for just five years and frequently used as the basis for backdate projects, an original 964 is genuinely hard to find, let alone in a colour as striking and seldom seen as Tahoe Blue. This UK-supplied example was delivered new through the Porsche Centre in Norwich in April 1990 and has covered 113,700 miles across six registered keepers.
The details enthusiasts look for are all present: correct flag mirrors, original D90 wheels, green-tinted glass, and Silk Grey factory sport seats. A top-end engine rebuild by Nelson Porsche in 2013 adds real reassurance, backed by continuous

Auction ends 18:00 BST • 03/10/26
A special-order colour on the last air-cooled 911 Targa with a manual gearbox. The 993 was the last of the air-cooled 911s and the first Targa to swap the old lift-out panel for a sliding glass roof, offering opentop motoring without sacrificing coupé rigidity. This 1997 example goes further still, originally ordered through Glenvarigill in Edinburgh and specified via Porsche's Exclusive Manufacture programme in the special-order shade of Libelltürkis Metallic, also known as Dragonfly Turquoise or Ocean Jade, a colour that instantly sets it apart from the sea of standard-spec 911s.
Beyond the paint, the spec sheet reads just as well: the desirable six-speed manual gearbox, M033 Sports Suspension, sport seats in black ruffled leather, and 17-inch split-rim alloys. The service history backs it all up, with 14 Porsche service stamps in the original book, an archive of invoices and MOTs dating to 2000, and a major £4,400 service completed by Export 56 in May 2025. The original tool roll, jack, compressor and spare key are all present.

The Magnum, P.I. Ferrari, in one of its rarest and most desirable early forms, and it's been loved properly for over a decade. Pininfarina's wedge-shaped 308 remains one of the most celebrated mid-engined Ferraris ever built, its dry-sump flat-plane V8 delivering a soundtrack as iconic as its styling. This 1980 example is one of the last of just 211 right-hand drive, dry-sump, carburettor, steel-bodied GTBs ever built, and wears the neardefinitive combination of Rosso Corsa over tan leather in fully factory-standard specification.
Bought from a well-known Ferrari specialist in January 2016, it's been meticulously maintained by its current owner ever since, with extensive bodywork restoration including new sills, freshly fabricated door skins and front wheel arches, plus a suspension refurbishment with rebuilt Koni dampers. Cam belt services have been carried out at the required intervals, and the whole history

2007 Porsche 911 Turbo (997) RUF RT600 Auction ends 18:10 BST • 03/10/26
RUF doesn't tune Porsches, it makes them its own. This 600hp example is one of just 23 ever made. Recognised by German authorities as an independent manufacturer in its own right, RUF has spent decades extracting extraordinary performance from the flat-six platform, and the RT600 is one of its most formidable results. Based on the 997 Turbo's Mezger engine, comprehensive upgrades push output to 620hp and 626lb-ft, paired with a strengthened six-speed manual and all-wheel drive.
Originally Cobalt Blue, this example has been resprayed in Classic Grey with a burgundy racing stripe, an exposed carbonfibre bonnet, RT12S front bumper and carbon door mirrors. Inside, bespoke burgundy Alcantara, folding carbon-fibre bucket seats and a RUF steering wheel complete the transformation. Chassis upgrades include RUF sports suspension, a nose-lift

One of just 2,282 built, stripped back to its essentials, and maintained with an attention to detail bordering on obsessive. The 964-generation Carrera RS was Porsche’s lightweight homologation special, powered by the naturally aspirated M64/03 flat-six and paired with the G50/10 five-speed manual.
This left-hand drive example was delivered new through A-Point B.V. (OPC Amsterdam) in June 1992 and spent its early life in the Netherlands, maintained by a succession of Porsche OPCs and specialists, before being imported to the UK in 2020 and entrusted to Williams Crawford.
The work carried out since is comprehensive: an RS three-piece clutch kit, shock absorber mounts overhauled to RS ride-height specification, a full major service covering valve clearances and gearbox oil, and a run of smaller jobs from ABS wiring repairs to

1953 Aston Martin DB2 Drophead Coupé Auction ends 18:20 BST • 03/10/26
Ultra-rare Drophead Coupé restored to an incredible standard and with a roster of famous owners. Of the 411 DB2s built before production ended in 1953, only 98 were Drophead Coupés, and of those, just 75 were left-hand drive, making this one of the rarest Aston Martin convertibles of the immediate post-war era. Power comes from the twin-cam 2.9-litre straight-six that W.O. Bentley commissioned for Lagonda, paired with a four-speed manual and hydraulic drum brakes.
Chassis LML/50/384 left the factory in July 1953 for the French market, first registered to a Parisian owner before passing to David McNeil, the American singer and son of painter Marc Chagall, who had it maintained by Aston Martin's Monaco dealer. In 2014 it joined the collection of Alain Aziza, then Aston Martin's official importer for France, before reaching its current owner in 2021.
“One of only 75 lefthand-drive Dropheads built, passed between a Chagall heir and Aston Martin's own French importer, and restored to a very high standard.”
Finished in black over red leather, with an engine rebuild completed in 2008 including a new English-made cylinder head, it comes with French registration papers and just 8,349 km recorded.

1993 Porsche 911 RS America 964 Coupé Auction ends 18:25 BST • 03/10/26
Porsche stripped out the luxuries and left the good bits: this is the lightweight 964 RS America. The RS America was developed as a pared-back, lightweight derivative of the Carrera 2 exclusively for the North American market, trading luxuries for reduced kerb weight and a sharper driving experience. Its fixed whale tail spoiler, cloth sports bucket seats, RS-style door cards with pull-straps and manual window winders gave it a purposeful character distinct from the standard Carrera.
This 1991 example is finished in Grand Prix White and comes with a documented history stretching back to its delivery in North Carolina. It's since resided in California and Canada before crossing to Sweden, and now the UK. Service records run through to 2008 at 69,457 miles, and include a handful of thoughtful upgrades: an Autothority MAF system, a B&B stainless exhaust, and an upgrade to 965/Turbo brake discs. Genuine RS Americas rarely surface in Europe, making this a very special occasion.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Auction ends 18:30 BST • 03/10/26
Where the Corvette legend began, rebuilt with drive-ability at the forefront. It’s impossible to overstate the impact of the first-generation Corvette, both on the car industry and US culture. Examples fitted with the 283ci small-block V8 and four-speed manual occupy the sweet spot of the range. This example was sourced from the USA in 2017 and has since undergone a thorough mechanical overhaul, not out of necessity but with the specific aim of creating a reliable, enjoyable driver.
A date-correct 283ci engine was completely rebuilt by 5 Star Engines in the USA, while the gearbox, differential, brakes, suspension, cooling and fuel systems have all been overhauled or renewed.

Auction ends 18:35 BST • 03/10/26
The blue-and-gold Impreza that helped Petter Solberg become world champion, now restored to its 2003 season specs. The Impreza S9 WRC represented the absolute peak of Prodrive's development of the platform, and in 2003 these cars carried Solberg to his only Drivers' World Championship. Chassis 15 played its part directly, driven by Solberg at Rally Finland 2003 to a 2nd place finish. After retiring from world-level competition, it moved to Ireland and the UK, where it proved brutally effective at national level, taking 12 outright rally wins between 2004 and 2010 on both tarmac and gravel.
The car has since been stripped to its bare shell and restored to accurate 2003 works specification, with genuine Speedline wheels and fresh Pirelli RA5A tyres among the many new parts fitted. Most recently, in July 2026, Robbie McGurk Motorsport Services carried out a comprehensive £15,000 inspection and rectification programme, covering everything from the gearbox and hydraulics to the cooling system.

2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC Chassis 4 Auction ends 18:40 BST • 03/10/26
Four-time world champion Tommi Mäkinen's actual works Evo, and the seats still carry his name. Chassis 4 is one of a very small number of genuine Lancer WRCs built by Mitsubishi's works team, campaigned by Mäkinen himself at the 2001 Telstra Rally Australia. It was later driven by Jani Paasonen at the 2002 Neste Rally Finland, before four further national rallies in UK private ownership. The vendor has since had the exterior repainted by Normandales, the very company that painted these cars when new, faithfully reapplying the period red, black and white livery.
Crucially, the interior has been left deliberately untouched, preserving genuine period patina right down to the OMP bucket seats still bearing Mäkinen's name and the white Ralliart roll cage. Mechanically inspected and checked over by Ronan
“A works Evo driven by Mäkinen himself, with an untouched cockpit still bearing his name, provenance like this simply cannot be recreated.”
McCrory of RMC Motorsport, the car runs its original 2.0-litre 4G63 turbo engine and six-speed sequential gearbox. Presented in tarmac specification, it comes with a rebuilt gravel kit included.

Aston MArtin DB6 Sports Saloon Auction ends 18:45 BST • 03/10/26
Four owners, factory colour scheme, and over £70,000 spent keeping it exactly as Newport Pagnell intended. The DB6 was the final evolution of the David Brown-era sixcylinder Astons, its Touring-designed body longer and more aerodynamically refined than the DB5's, with a Kamm tail and genuine four-seat cabin that pushed the model from sports car toward grand tourer. Only 1,327 were built. This Mk1 example, chassis DB6/3209/R, left the factory in November 1967 as a right-hand drive car with a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox, finished in Platinum White over Dark Blue Connolly leather, and crucially retains its original numbers and colours today.
Having had just four owners since new, it remained in England until the mid-2010s before being imported to France, where it's since had over £70,000 spent on servicing, maintenance and

1997 Porsche C2S Coupé 993 Auction ends 18:50 BST • 03/10/26
A wide-hipped Turbo-look 993 without the turbo, and possibly the lowest-mileage Carrera S left on the planet. The 993 Carrera S borrowed the Turbo's wider body and stance without the added weight of forced induction or a front driveshaft, delivering a purer, rear-driven manual experience many enthusiasts rate above the standard Carrera. This example is finished in Ocean Blue Metallic over a striking two-tone Marble Grey and Midnight Blue leather interior, distinguished further by its split rear engine lid spoiler grid unique to the S.
UK-supplied and delivered new through Stratstone of Wilmslow in August 1997, it's covered just 8,900 miles, backed by service history documented from delivery through Official Porsche Centres and respected specialists including Litchfield. A notable fuel system overhaul was carried out by Porsche Centre Silverstone in 2015, addressing the tank, pump and injector rails. The MOT runs advisory-free to April 2027, and the car previously featured as the front cover star of Total 911 magazine.
“Under 9,000 miles, a magazine cover star and a wide-body Carrera S specification: this 993 has it all.” Guy Newton

1957 AC Ace Bristol Auction ends 18:55 BST • 03/10/26
Nearly 60 years with one driver, and every result recorded. Before Shelby, there was Ruddspeed. The UK-based operation was first to spot the potential in AC's tubular Ace chassis, pairing it with Bristol's proven 1,971cc straight-six to lay the groundwork for the Cobra that followed. This matching-numbers example, chassis BEX 374, was delivered new in 1957 and spent nearly six decades with a single dedicated owner, Colorado's Jerry Lynch, who raced it in SCCA competition through the 1960s and historic revivals from 1978 to 2003, with every result documented.
Imported to the UK in 2019, it was restored at AC Heritage with over £30,000 spent on the chassis, engine, steering, braking and electrical systems, preserving both the factory interior and the racing livery worn since 1960. The current owner has since invested a further €50,000 in servicing and optimisation, campaigning it at the 2024 and 2025 Nuvolari and the 2025 Mille

1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupé (964) Backdate Auction ends 19:00 BST • 03/10/26 A 964 dressed as a long-hood original, built by a specialist who clearly understood the assignment. 964-generation 911s lend themselves particularly well to backdating, pairing modern mechanicals with the slender aesthetic of earlier long-hood cars. This example wears steel wide arches and a long bonnet with real conviction, finished in a shade of Arctic Silver over a black leather interior retrimmed to a Singer-inspired specification, complete with new carpets, a retopped dashboard and leathered knee roll.
The base car is a UK-market 1990 Carrera 2 Coupé, delivered new through Glen Henderson Edinburgh, with documented service history running from its pre-delivery inspection right through to the present, including care from Official Porsche Centres and, since at least 2015, primary custodian Precision Porsche Specialist. Most notably, an engine-out overhaul was completed in October 2025, addressing head studs, gaskets and timing chain components.
“An engine-out overhaul, decades of Official Porsche Centre records, and a Singer-inspired. This backdate has the substance to match its considerable style.” Guy Newton

1993 Porsche 3.6 Turbo 964 Coupé Auction ends 19:05 BST • 03/10/26 The last single-turbo, rear-drive 911 Turbo before Porsche went twin-turbo and all-wheel drive, and one of just 159 built in righthand drive. Produced for barely two model years, limited to 1,437 examples worldwide, and built with no electronic safety net whatsoever, the 964 Turbo 3.6 is the ultimate expression of the original ‘widowmaker’ formula: single (large) turbocharger, rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. Its successor, the 993 Turbo, moved to twin turbos and all-wheel drive, making this the last of a formidable breed.
This right-hand drive example was delivered new on 29th June 1993 by AFN Chiswick, Porsche's official centre, and shows a warranted 15,898 miles, backed by 16 documented service entries stretching all the way back to delivery, all carried out by respected specialists including Autofarm, JZM Porsche and Landbeasts Automobile Classics. It was most recently serviced by Autofarm in
“One of only circa 35 UK examples, with 16 service entries and under 16,000 miles covered since 1993: the last old-school 911 Turbo, in about as original a state as they come.”

1999 Renault Clio V6 Trophy Phase 1 Auction ends 19:10 BST • 03/10/26
A mid-engined V6 stuffed inside a Clio's body, built to be thrown at gravel and tarmac alike.
The Clio V6 Trophy is one of the most effective competition machines Renault Sport ever produced: a mid-engined, rearwheel-drive reinterpretation of the humble Clio, powered by a 3.0-litre naturally aspirated V6 mounted behind the driver. Few cars this compact offer such serious firepower on stage or circuit. This example is car #82 from the John Price V6 Trophy series, campaigned under "John Price Rallying", holding a UK MSA Competition Car Logbook issued in 2010 alongside a Motorsport Ireland Logbook issued in August 2024, approving it for rally, race, hillclimb/sprint, rallycross, regional sprint and

Auction ends 19:15 BST • 03/10/26
The last Ferrari V8 to demand you use a proper gated shifter, and this one's had every big job done properly. The 348 TS succeeded the 328 as the last of the mid-engined V8 Ferraris to feature the celebrated open-gated manual as standard, its Targa-style removable roof panel adding open-air motoring without sacrificing coupé rigidity. This UK-market, righthand drive example, first registered in January 1993, wears the quintessential Rosso Corsa over Crema leather combination with deep Rosso carpets, contrasting Nero dashboard and door caps, and drilled aluminium pedals.
In the same ownership since 2007, it's benefited from considered specialist care throughout. A major service in 2023 addressed timing belts, tensioner bearings and gaskets, the bigticket items every 348 buyer worries over, while ongoing attention from Phoenix Classic & Performance since 2024 has covered brakes, CV joints, fuel system components and a full Waxoyl anti-corrosion treatment. With 33,172 warranted miles, this is a mechanically sorted, classically specified 348 TS.
“Timing belts done in 2023, followed by two years of granular attention right down to the fuel pressure regulator: this is what a well-sorted 348 looks like.” James Hitchinson

1987 BMW M3 E30 'Competition Pack' Auction ends 19:20 BST • 03/10/26
A Group A homologation icon, formerly owned by Jay Kay. Born from BMW Motorsport's Group A touring car homologation programme in 1986, the E30 M3 remains one of the most revered driver's cars of its generation, a raw, purposeful machine that rewrote the rules for what a compact sports saloon could achieve. This German home-market example, since imported and now registered in ROI, was developed by BMW specialist Classic Heroes into full 'Competition spec', with a clear philosophy: genuinely quick on track, yet comfortably drivable on the road.
At its heart sits a 2.5-litre competition engine producing circa 260bhp at the flywheel, paired with a short-shift dog-leg gearbox, uprated AP Racing 4-pot brakes and fully adjustable competitionspec suspension. It has celebrity provenance too, having
