“Such a usable example of this quintessentially British gentleman’s express. For touring in style and comfort, this Continental Flying Spur remains unsurpassed.”

There’s an old adage in engineering circles that the last of the old is often a good deal better than the first of the new. This can readily describe the car we have here, among the last of the original 911s before the advent of the majorly revised G Body platform in 1973. There’s a purity to these cars that no subsequent generation of 911, no matter how brilliant, has ever recaptured.

For the 1972 model year, Porsche introduced the 2.4-litre engine, its largest flat-six to date, replacing the 2.2-litre unit. Accordingly, Porsche also fitted a stronger gearbox. Known as the Type 915, the new manual box used a conventional ‘H’ shift pattern rather than more esoteric ‘dog-leg’ units fitted to earlier 911s.

This 1973 911T was supplied new to the United States in the desirable hue of Sepia Brown. It has subsequently been fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. As the most pared-back offering in the 911 range, the entry-level ‘T’ was the variant that keen drivers coveted. To this day, enthusiasts enjoy the raw, unbridled feel of these simple, engaging, and lightweight cars.

This 911 arrived in Europe in 2017, entering a large private collection. It has undergone a colour change at some point in its life, now presenting in this attractive shade of red. Today, this Porsche represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a usable example which is both an excellent candidate for sympathetic restoration or else, enjoyment as-is.

“The

Consignor's opinion Guy Newton

2.4 version of the early 911 is regarded by many as a true driver’s car. Raw, mechanical, analogue, it rewards its driver’s finesse.

Offered

from a large German collection, this older restoration is desperate to be driven. An early 911 which ticks so many boxes.”

The SL wasn’t your typical ‘60s convertible sports car. This was Mercedes-Benz’s typically Teutonic response to analysing what its competitors were up to and producing something of their own that was leagues ahead of the curve.

The so-called ‘Pagoda’ was thought up by one of the most skilled and effective design teams in the history of the auto industry; namely Paul Bracq, Béla Barényi and Friedrich Geiger. Between them, these three men made the the bestengineered, safest and most stylish convertible of its day.

This 1969 is the desirable 280 SL with an automatic gearbox. As the photographs attest this is a wonderful example of the model, resplendent in red and complete with its matching factory hard top.

French registered with a Carte Grise de Collection and reportedly driving beautifully, this very well-kept SL is ready to begin its next chapter with a new owner.

Consignor's opinion

Victor Sastre

“It’s not without good reason that the Pagoda following remains so strong. These are wonderful cars, and this is a particularly fine example in a great spec that’s ready to go.”

This is no ordinary Tommi Mäkinen Edition Evo, if indeed there is such a thing.

Presented in the ‘Special Colour Pack’ of which just 208 were ever made, this car was used by Mitsubishi in 2000 to launch the model before being bought by a bona fide WRC Mitsubishi driver who kept the car until 2022.

Tommi Mäkinen’s sideways exploits in these cars are the stuff of legend. The model needs no introduction, only to say that it offers one of the most capable sports saloons the world has ever seen.

This Evo benefits from a service at 10,123 kilometres by Mitsubishi, including replacement of the timing belts and water pump. The attention to detail that has gone into this car’s maintenance is quite astounding, even down to the OEM tyres. It is undoubtedly among the most original examples that will ever come to market, if not the most original in existence. The only deviation from absolute originality? Mr Mäkinen has signed the roof.

Consignor's opinion

Victor Sastre

“This is certainly the greatest example of this rare and coveted special edition we’ve ever encountered, and it may well be the best one ever to come to market. Its condition, originality and provenance are unsurpassed. Fans of this golden era of WRC cannot afford to miss this opportunity.”

Ends: 15:40 GMT

There’s a strong case for the early 2000s to be considered the era of peak performance car. Indeed, the advent of uninspiring EV drivetrains and nannying technology like ADAS has prompted enthusiasts to look back in time to an era when cars were still considered ‘analogue’.

With a 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine sending 515 horsepower to the rear wheels, this 2002 Ferrari F575M is exactly the sort of car we’re talking about. A formidable front-engined GT harking back to the days of the Daytona, just 2,056 were ever made, meaning only a select few ever got to experience what this superb Ferrari had to offer.

This example is presented in the coveted and rare Giallo Modena, one of the most distinctive colour combinations for this model. It has been professionally maintained by Ferrari specialists and is presented in excellent condition throughout. Seldom do F575Ms come to market, let alone such well-specified, judiciously maintained examples as this. Don’t miss this superb opportunity to add this rare prancing horse to your stable.

Consignor's opinion

George Zahra

“The 575M Maranello is arguably one of the last Ferraris that truly connects driver and machine. A frontengined V12 GT with real soul, finished in rare Giallo Modena, and beautifully maintained, it perfectly captures that golden analogue era collectors are now rediscovering.”

The Ponton was Mercedes-Benz’s second all-new post-war model, and the first to feature modern monocoque construction. Mercedes-Benz sold a staggering 950,000 units between 1953 and 1962, but of that total, just 2,178 were the 220S Cabriolet.

The two-door models shared surprisingly few components with the standard four-door Ponton saloon; the Cabriolet had a shorter wheelbase and a different body with longer doors and body panels unique to the model. Suffice it to say, these were seriously expensive cars in their day. The 220S was powered by the M180 SOHC straight-six, which offered a very healthy 115 horsepower.

Our 1959 example is a matching numbers 220S that has been subject to a comprehensive professional restoration costing approximately €90,000. This handsome car presents beautifully in Sonderlackierung Grau 970 with whitewall tyres, a red leather interior and a matching red soft top. All looks equally impressive under the bonnet, with its rebuilt original 2.2-litre engine reportedly in very good running order.

Consignor's opinion Alex Fischer

“A lesser-seen sixcylinder alternative to the 190 SL, Ponton Cabriolets are wonderful cars. This restored matching numbers example presents impeccably, benefitting from an exceedingly good restoration.”

Ends: 16:00 GMT

Consignor's opinion Guy Newton

“An immaculate, rare, matchingnumbers Pre-A with one of the very first 1600 engines - this is the kind of Speedster collectors hold on to for decades.”

Suffice it to say, John DeLorean was an ambitious man. Presiding over several of General Motors’ greatest models wasn’t enough for him. DeLorean was determined to build his own car company and produce an "ethical" sports car. Designed by Giugiaro and featuring a unique brushed stainless steel bodywork, the gull-winged DMC-12 was quite unlike anything the world had ever seen before. A starring role in ‘Back To The Future’ cemented the DeLorean’s place in history.

Here we have an unrivalled opportunity to acquire a collectorquality example with only 5,695 miles under its belt. This car is so original, it still wears its original factory-fitted Goodyear tyres and comes with the DeLorean Stainless Care Kit. It’s wellspecified too, featuring the desirable five-speed manual gearbox and a grey leather interior.

Commensurate with its ultra-low mileage, this ‘time-warp’ car - if you’ll pardon the pun - is offered in superb original condition and is therefore primed to be the centrepiece of any prestigious automobile collection.

This wonderful DeLorean is offered with Danish import tax / customs and VAT paid. It is offered with a USA Title, but has never been registered in Denmark.

Consignor's opinion

George Zahra

“Yes, you did read that correctly. This DeLorean has only covered 5,695 miles. As a result, it’s as close to a new one as you could possibly hope for. Even the tyres are still the original set.”

1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1½ 4.2-Litre   Open Two-Seater

Matching numbers car verified by JDHT certificate

One of the last Series 1 cars built

Never been welded and never restored

Original Willow Green with matching interior

Used in ‘Spies & Glisterup’ movie

See full listing

E-Type enthusiasts will undoubtedly be familiar with the socalled ‘Series 1½’, a moniker latterly applied to the cars produced right at the end of Series 1 production. They incorporate several enhancements that would feature on the Series 2, albeit with arguably prettier styling.

This matching numbers 1968 Open Two-Seater E-Type is one of these rare Series 1½s. It’s highly original and suitably patinated; the vendor tells us that it has never been restored or welded throughout its 57 years. That’s practically unheard of for any car of this age, let alone a rare Series 1½ E-Type, which also happens to be matching numbers, confirmed by its JDHT certificate. Delightful period details include its handsome Willow Green paintwork, matching interior, and ultra-rare original wood-rimmed steering wheel.

Originally a US market car, the E-Type then spent some time in Denmark. In fact, it featured in the Danish movie ‘Spies & Glisterup’ released in 2013. The car moved to Sweden in 2012 and has remained there ever since.

Consignor's opinion

Greg Copeland

“As the old saying goes, ‘they’re only original once’. This E-Type is a gorgeous original example with a time-earned patina. Never restored and matching numbers, it’s got everything going for it.”

Ends: 16:30 GMT

Hailing from an era when Mercedes-Benz design, engineering, and build quality were entirely without equal, the 280 SE was intended as the ultimate grand touring cabriolet for the discerning motorist. Its star feature lay under the bonnet: The M130 engine was the last and largest of Mercedes’ mid-sized SOHC straight-six powerplants. It was powerful, refined and reliable, earning the brand its reputation for peerless quality which still holds to this day.

Our 1971 280 SE is the so-called ‘Low Grille’ model. Offered in desirable European spec, it features the sought-after monobloc headlights and is without side repeaters. These features make it exceedingly pretty, as does the fact that this example is finished in white over a red interior with Zebrano woodwork.

Most surviving examples seldom emerge from the high-end collections in which they have been cosseted away for many years. Here we have an exception to the rule. This highly original, unmodified 280 SE has reportedly required minimal restoration work over the years, only requiring a respray to keep the bodywork looking its best. The vendor states that the car drives extremely well and is therefore ready to meet its next custodian.

Consignor's opinion

Eyal Oram

“Surely among the most elegant cars of this era, this 280 SE would make the perfect road trip companion. Seldom do such original, wellkept examples come to market.”

Ends: 16:40 GMT

France’s answer to the great coachbuilders of England and the carrozzerias of Italy, Henri Chapron set up shop in a Parisian suburb in 1919 and carved out a niche building some of the most elegant motor car bodies on the market.

Following the Second World War, French carmakers began a move towards monocoque construction, leading to the demise of several boutique coachbuilding firms. But Chapron diversified and therefore survived by creating custom versions of the Citroën DS and ID. Indeed, the company would carry on until 1985, run by Henri’s widow following his death in 1978.

Chapron’s convertibles are scarce and sought after, but its coupés are far rarer still. Most people will never see one on the road, making this opportunity to acquire a genuine 1962 Concorde 1 Coupé very special indeed. While Chapron’s record-keeping wasn’t always known to be the most rigorous, most sources cite that just 38 examples of this model were ever made.

Our matching numbers Concorde 1 Coupé is presented in very good order following an older restoration. It has been converted to the later mineral-oil-based LHM system and is reportedly in very good running and driving order.

Consignor's opinion Alex Fischer

“A standard DS still looks futuristic, but this Chapron

Concorde 1 Coupé takes things to another level entirely; it’s like something out of science fiction. We’re truly honoured to present this wonderful example.”

It’s a tall order these days to find a 964 that hasn’t been turned into some sort of high-end restomod. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but we must say that it’s refreshing to see one that not only remains unmodified, but is also a very special spec straight from the factory.

This 1992 Porsche 911 is one of only around two hundred examples of the 964 to feature the factory X33 WLS package. That’s a lot of letters and numbers, but what it boils down to is the fact this 911 Turbo boasted 355 horsepower straight from the factory. Renowned for their explosive turbocharged character that made driving these factory-fettled 964s challenging and rewarding in equal measure, these ‘90s pocket rockets are coveted by Porsche collectors the world over.

Genuine examples of this rare edition seldom come to market, and this one has the added benefit of being an immensely original matching numbers car with just 88,121 warranted kilometres. This car’s condition is simply superb and the standard of maintenance lavished upon it over the years ensures the next owner will be acquiring an exemplary specimen of this much-sought-after model.

Consignor's opinion

Victor Sastre

“A real treat for dyed in the wool Porsche enthusiasts, this ultra-rare 964 promises a thrilling drive that only a 911 Turbo of this era can offer. As a factorybuilt example in incredible original condition and with so few kilometres under its belt, this a special thing indeed.”

Aston Martin's best-known collaboration with an Italian carrozzeria is its work with Touring Superleggera. However, fellow Milanese coachbuilder Zagato has also produced some fabulous designs with the English firm, of which two of the most celebrated are the DB4 GT Zagato of 1960s racing notoriety and the DB7 Zagato, which many see as the DB4’s spiritual successor.

Each Zagato used the high-performance DB7 GT as a donor vehicle and featured Zagato’s signature ‘double bubble’ roof plus clever nods to the DB4 in the front and rear designs. But it was about more than just the looks. The Zagato was some 60 kilograms lighter than its equivalent DB7 GT. The drivetrains were fettled too, with a sixteen per cent shorter gearing than the standard car, a dual plate AP Racing clutch to reduce pedal effort, a Powerlock LSD and a 4.09:1 final drive ratio.

Just 59 right-hand drive examples were made, of which we’re delighted to offer car number 28. Having been owned by a succession of three Aston Martin collectors, this DB7 has covered a mere 3,800 miles from new.

Consignor's opinion Guy Newton

“You simply don’t see these rare cars. So often locked away in collections, as indeed this one has been, here we have an exceptional opportunity to acquire a superlative example with minuscule mileage.”

Ends: 17:10 GMT

It’s easy to be wooed by the Maserati Mistral’s gorgeous styling, but something even more beautiful lurks beneath the bonnet. This was the last car to feature the Giulio Alfieri straight-six, an engine that powered Fangio to victory in the 250F and Moss in the Tipo 60/61 ‘Bird Cage’. That’s quite some pedigree behind this excellent powerplant.

Clothed in Pietro Frua’s soft curves, the Mistral 4000 Coupé makes for a fabulous grand tourer, ideal for tackling longdistance road trips and spirited blasts up a sinuous mountain pass with equal aplomb.

This 1966 example comes from forty-year single ownership during which time it enjoyed a comprehensive and fully documented service history totalling over €111,000 in maintenance. Its rich history file makes for an enthralling read and demonstrates the incredible standard of care this car has received over the past four decades.

The Maserati presents impeccably inside and out and comes recently serviced and technically inspected, ready for its new owner.

Consignor's opinion

Alex Fischer

“Without

a doubt one of the prettiest GTs of the 1960s, the Mistral is rightly revered by collectors. This example has enjoyed a superlative standard of maintenance and its condition speaks volumes of the care lavished upon it over the past forty years.”

Turbocharging the 911 turned a formidable sports car into the stuff of legend. The so-called “Widowmaker” was inspired by Porsche’s racing program, specifically the 934 developed primarily for privateer teams to compete in the FIA's Group 4 Grand Touring series for the 1976 and 1977 seasons.

This 1976 car began life as a standard road-going 930, but is now anything but. It has been rebuilt with an authentic Andial 934 RSR kit, a professionally modified 3.3-litre turbocharged engine producing approximately 550hp, and various motorsport-grade upgrades, including 917 brakes and Bilstein suspension. Best of all, it’s road legal, complete with a current technical inspection in Sweden.

Evoking a golden age of motorsport, this bespoke 911 may very well be the ultimate road-legal 930. In current ownership since 2004, it benefits from a recent light restoration and €9,000 engine overhaul performed by marque specialists.

Consignor's opinion Greg Copeland

“A thrilling homage to Porsche’s turbocharged racing era, this car pairs authentic Andial components with 550hp and roadlegal usability. It’s an expertly built, ultimate expression of the ‘Widowmaker’ legend.”

The wonderful thing about cars of this vintage and calibre is that they were usually owned by some fascinating individuals. This Bentley is no exception. In fact, it has a remarkable story to tell.

Flaunting Sporting Drophead Coupé coachwork by Barker, this 1933 Bentley 3½-Litre was originally supplied to A.H. Embiricos, a scion of the Greek shipping and finance family whose brother Andre M. Embiricos commissioned and raced the aerodynamic ‘Embiricos Bentley’.

The Bentley was then owned by Lyonel Francis Stone, a Captain in the Coldstream Guards. He registered the car to his club at 41 Brook Street. As was customary during the Second World War, B17AE was converted into a utility van for a longestablished Covent Garden firm. Post-war, it was acquired by a veterinarian and Bentley enthusiast. He restored a Barker body to this car during the 1950s, and this coachwork, originally built for Lady Dorothy Roll, has remained to this day.

A fascinating tale, we’re sure you’ll agree. The Bentley has been submitted for MOT testing regularly since 2006, passing on each occasion with no advisories.

Consignor's opinion Guy Newton

“This ultra-sporting two-door Barker bodied 3 ½ has a fascinating history. B17EA was first commissioned for A H Embiricos who’s brother designed and commissioned the legendary Embiricos Bentley. Viewed as a “silent sports car” the   3 ½ was quieter, smoother and more refined than earlier, racier Bentleys.”

1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S

Coachwork by Bertone

One of only 105 LP400 S Series II models ever produced

Finished in original Lamborghini Argento Metallizzato livery

Atmospheric 3.9-litre V12 engine producing 370 hp

Capable of 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds with a   top speed of 264 km/h

See full listing

If you grew up in the 1980s, likely as not you had a picture of this very car on your bedroom wall. An icon of its era and among the most dramatic and influential designs of all time, the Countach was Marcello Gandini’s masterpiece and the vehicle that cemented Lamborghini’s image as the most outrageous of Italy’s carmakers.

The gutteral yell of a 3.9-litre naturally aspirated Lamborghini V12 with six Weber carburettors never fails to raise the hairs on the back of the neck, and this carburetted European spec Series II LP400 S is the one to have, sending 370 horsepower to its rear wheels.

Our Countach is among the mere 105 examples of Series II LP400 S model, resplendent in that oh-so-’80s hue Argento Metallizzato (silver-grey) over a set of matching silver Campagnolo alloys and black leather interior. It currently resides in a prestigious collection.

We’re assured that this is a very healthy Countach, ready to offer its next owner the quintessential ‘80s supercar experience.

Consignor's opinion

Alex Fischer

“Gandini’s magnum opus, the Countach is as striking today as it was forty years ago. This rare Series II LP400 S boasts a desirable specification and comes to market in a very fit state, ready to meet its next custodian.”

For those who found a Rolls-Royce or Bentley just a little too ‘predictable’, there was the Alvis Speed 20. Like its betterknown rivals, the Speed 20 was bodied by leading firms, and our 1935 example boasts svelte open tourer coachwork by Vanden Plas. Presented in dark green, this handsome car exhibits a gentle patina as befits its considerable age.

Delivered new through Alvis model 'guru' Charles Follet, this car has had just six keepers from new, and its history is remarkably well-documented; it also features in the Alvis archive.

Just 283 Type SC Speed 20s were built, and those two letters ‘SC’ signify that this car has a stronger chassis and more powerful engine. Unusually for its era, it featured synchromesh on all four of its gears, making this one of the quickest and most drivable pre-war motor cars of all.

Consignor's opinion Greg Copeland

“A supremely capable and therefore highly usable pre-war open sports tourer, this Speed 20 is ideal for cross-continental touring, even today, ninety years after it first hit the road.”

Ends: 18:10 GMT

The 300 S was Mercedes-Benz’s flagship post-war model, lauded for its high-quality construction, 100 mph plus performance, and innovative features including independent suspension and a single overhead cam 3.0-litre straight-six. These beautifully engineered six-cylinder cars earned Mercedes-Benz the reputation for superlative quality the marque has enjoyed ever since.

Our matching numbers example is the two-door cabriolet, one of the most expensive cars of its era, beloved of the rich and famous. It was previously owned by the world-renowned Mercedes-Benz specialist Mechatronik GmbH and has undergone a recent nut and bolt restoration costing approximately €125,000.

The calibre of the work speaks for itself. This Mercedes presents impeccably inside and out, while its folding roof operates correctly and the engine runs very well indeed. Offered with current technical inspection and reportedly ready to hit the road, this beautifully restored Mercedes-Benz would be fit to grace any prestigious car show you’d care to mention.

Consignor's opinion Alex Fischer

An incredibly wellrestored example of one of the most sought after of postwar Mercedes-Benz automobiles. The 300 S Convertible is a highly useable 1950s grand tourer, with its in-depth restoration this is an excellent example of the model.”

Lynx Engineering ought to know what makes Jaguars tick better than practically anyone else. Starting out in 1968 as a specialist in C-Types, D-Types, and E-Types, Lynx soon applied its considerable knowledge and abilities to the creation of some of the greatest replicas available.

The XKSS was a Jaguar D-Type modified for the road. The factory produced more D-Types than it had orders, so the remaining 25 unsold cars were lightly reworked to be sold as road cars. Changes were minimal, consisting mainly of removing the tail fin, fitting bumpers, adding a passenger-side door, a fullwidth windscreen with side screens, and a soft top for weather protection.

Beloved of the world’s preeminent petrolheads, among whom most famously was Steve McQueen, the XKSS was revered as one of the best-driving cars of its day.

This Lynx was constructed in 1997 while retaining the registration status of the 1966 E-Type upon which it is based. The car comes with a detailed photographic record of the original build process amidst a comprehensive history file spanning its whole life.

We’re informed that the XKSS is in a very fit state of tune, ready to enjoy. And enjoy it you shall; it’s essentially a ‘50s Le Mans car with number plates.

Consignor's opinion

Kate Wingfield

“A fabulous opportunity to acquire a genuinely iconic sports car made famous by the ‘King of Cool’ himself - Steve McQueen. Original examples are practically unobtainable, so this beautifully made Lynx is really your only opportunity to experience what an XKSS is like to live with.”

It isn’t often the opportunity arises to acquire an integral piece of American motorsport history. Designed and built by Indianapolis Hall of Fame inductees Myron Stevens and Harry Miller, this 1932 McDowell Ford Special A Sprint Car is a rare survivor from a daring and dangerous era of racing on unmettled dirt tracks.

Restored between 2011-2015 to an excellent standard using Harry Miller's original chassis blueprints, this car is as authentic as you could wish for, still boasting Stevens’ original hand-made bodywork. The 1932 Ford B block with McDowell overhead valve head has been completely rebuilt, having been in the car since 1932, when it replaced the original 1925 Model T engine.

After being discovered in a derelict condition following a racing accident that occurred at least three quarters of a century ago, it has been restored with usability in mind, aiming to maintain period authenticity while making minimal concessions for today's vintage racing requirements. The car is set up for dirt track racing, exactly as it would have been in period.

Offered in superlative condition, we hope to see this car driven in anger once again.

“For collectors of American Motorsport history , this McDowell Ford Special is the real deal. A pre-war sprint car, built by Indianapolis hall of fame legends Harry Miller and Myron Stevens. Restored , it would be wonderful to see this car on track competing once again.”

It’s incredible to think that this Aston Martin once lined up on the start line at Aintree alongside such esteemed company as cars driven by Colin Chapman, Carroll Shelby, Roy Salvadori, Tony Brooks, and the Marquis de Portago.

Its driver was a man called Frank Defty, a name seldom heard in the same breath as Moss or Fangio, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that he and his new Aston finished last.

Unfazed by this result, Defty entered his DB2/4 into the twothousand-mile RAC International Rally, and continued to campaign the car at several British short circuits during the remainder of the 1954 season, selling it in early 1955. Included in the sale are some evocative period photographs of the car participating in various events, including the RAC Rally, Blackpool Test, Prescott, Goodwood and Aintree.

As the photographs attest, today, this DB2/4 comes prepared to a sueprlative standard, complete with a substantial and carefully curated history file, and benefiting from a £32,000 engine rebuilt by Aston Service Dorset in 2015, with a further £20,000 spent since 2020. It has been in present ownership since 2014, and it’s easy to see why this is the sort of car one would wish to hold on to.

Consignor's opinion Guy Newton

“Today’s historic racing events, like Goodwood Revival, pay homage to cars like this, raced in period by their owners no sooner than they left the factory gates. This wonderful machine is nothing less than a piece of motorsport history.”

This is not your common or garden G Body 911. On the contrary, the car you’re looking at is reported to be the only example of its type originally delivered to the United Kingdom in right-hand drive.

The 2.7 MFI was a stop-gap model; a ‘greatest hits’ album of early-’70s 911 components. The brand new G Body chassis was more rigid than its predecessor, but this car’s party piece is its engine: the ‘type 911/ 83’ 210 bhp, 2.7-litre MFI unit borrowed from the 1973 Carrera RS - a car some Porsche enthusiasts still herald the greatest 911 of all time.

Our car is amongst the earliest 400 MFI models built and one of just two Mexico Blue right-hand drive Coupés from the total 1,633-car production run. According to the Porsche Club of Great Britain, only one of these two Coupés was supplied new to the UK: this very car.

Having recently been awoken from a 25-year hibernation in dry storage, this 911 has undergone a programme of comprehensive recommissioning. Work included a full respray in its original (and ultra-rare) 'Paint To Sample' (PTS) Mexico Blue. The interior has been fully retrimmed in Midnight Blue pigskin leather with Shetland inlays. The result, we’re sure you’ll agree, is simply stunning.

That wonderful engine has been given the attention it deserves, too, having been resealed with new gaskets and equipped with a new ignition system. A set of new Bilstein B6 dampers has been installed, along with a new clutch, new fuel hoses and the allimportant braking system has been rebuilt.

Consignor's opinion

Robert Cross

“That Carrera RS engine is truly special to behold. These crossover 2.7 MFI models seldom come to market, so this unique Mexico Blue UK market example is not to be missed.”

Immortalised in the 1969 ‘Italian Job’, the Aston Martin DB4 Convertible fitted the dashing young Michael Caine as neatly as his Douglas Hayward suits. Just forty DB4 Series V Convertibes were made in all, hand-formed in aluminium to the ‘Superleggera’ formula.

Here we have an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a beautifully prepared Series V example. This Aston has recently undergone a concours-standard restoration, following which it has graced prestigious events including Salon Privé and Villa d'Este. A previous restoration was performed by the Aston Martin factory at Newport Pagnell, the very place this car was originally assembled in 1963. Complete with its matching numbers Marek straight-six engine, bored out to 4.2 litres by RS Williams, the car now produces a very healthy 275 bhp at 4,500 rpm.

The DB4 is accompanied by a substantial and carefully curated history file spanning six decades. This car is truly unrivalled in its condition and provenance, a real treat for enthusiasts of the marque.

Consignor's opinion Alex Fischer

“Factory-restored, later perfected by Desmond Smail, and now presented in concours condition, this DB4 Convertible has everything going for it. It is, quite simply, one of the most desirable open Aston Martins ever offered.”

Offering the look and feel of the 300 SL, the model often hailed to have been the world’s first supercar, the 190 SL was the result of US importer Max Hoffman advising MercedesBenz that a four-cylinder conervtible would sell very well across the Atlantic. As ever, Hoffman was correct, and the 190 SL went on to sell 14,600 units.

Of that total, just 535 190 SLs were ever made in right-hand drive. Here we have a beautiful example which benefits from over £25,000 in recent expenditure.

Work included a Weber carburettor conversion, new soft top and new hood cover. The car’s bodywork has been restored in the past, as have various pieces of the chrome trim. A new boot floor and full body floor plan were required, following which, the SL was refinished in this attractive gunmetal grey.

As the photographs attest, the SL continues to present beautifully and the vendor states that it drives exceedingly well.

drive 190 SLs are incredibly rare and this 1961 example is in great order following extensive restoration and copious recent expenditure.”

Ever since it first graced the silver screen in the 1964 film ‘Goldfinger’, the Aston Martin DB5 has been synonymous with Britain’s favourite fictional spy: Bond, James Bond… The car made such a big impression that its Corgi equivalent became the best-selling diecast model of all time, selling nearly four million units.

This beautiful 1965 DB5 Sports Saloon is offered in full Bond spec. Short of the machine guns and ejector seat, this Aston looks exactly like the on-screen car we all know and love. It was altered to this specification by a former owner, music legend and Duran Duran founder member, John Taylor.

The car underwent a substantial restoration by GTC Engineering and Shapecraft in the 1980s, and in more recent years, its Marek straight-six has been rebuilt to 4.2 litres. The current owner acquired the DB5 in 2000. During their ownership, it has undergone a further 'bare metal' respray, again in Silver Birch. They have also reconditioned the rear axle, re-trimmed the carpets and rebuilt the suspension.

Surely the perfect car for any Bond fan, or indeed anyone in search of the ultimate ‘60s grand tourer, this DB5 is sure to fit the bill.

Consignor's opinion Guy Newton

“It’s no wonder the DB5 was chosen to be the on-screen car of Agent 007. Effortlessly stylish, unmistakably British, and one of the fastest cars of its day, it’s a wonderful machine. Our example is presented in ‘Bond spec’ and was previously owned by John Taylor of Duran Duran.”

The 9.1-litre 40CV showcased the zenith of Renault’s engineering capabilities. In 1926, a 40CV set new records by travelling over two and a half thousand miles in 24 hours around the Montlhéry circuit, averaging 107.9 miles per hour. It also achieved a fifty-mile record at an average of 118.1 miles per hour.

This Limousine-Bodied, right-hand drive example with coachwork by Windover was commissioned for Nawab Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan Abbasi V. He was the last ruler of Bahawalpur, a Punjab princely state that later aligned with Pakistan after Partition.

Abbasi was a fascinating individual in myriad ways, while also a prolific collector of motorcars, amassing approximately 71 vehicles during his lifetime. This Renault is listed in his official archive and was sold off along with many other vehicles from the collection in 2004.

A recent arrival in the UK, this one-hundred-year-old Renault is offered in remarkably original order with a charming patina of age. It is believed to be the only surviving example of this model in this specification. With its rich provenance relating to a pivotal moment in South Asian history, this unique motorcar is fit to grace any collection of significant automobiles.

Consignor's opinion Alex Fischer

“An unrepeatable opportunity to acquire an exceptionally rare and historically significant Renault 40CV, bodied by Windover for the last Nawab of Bahawalpur. With its royal provenance, remarkable originality, and as likely the only survivor of its kind, this is a truly unique collector’s piece.”

Ford first revived the hallowed ‘GT’ moniker in 2004, producing a car that looked and indeed felt very much like its 1960s namesake of Le Mans notoriety. But Ford wasn’t finished there. In 2016, another Ford GT came along, and that was something quite different altogether.

The 2004-2006 GT was essentially an homage to the original; it wasn’t intended to seem especially modern. But the new GT aimed instead to recapture the extent to which the GT40 had been groundbreaking. It had a straightforward goal: to be the ultimate hypercar.

The improved 2020 version was better still. More powerful, with better handling, cooling and an Akrapovic Titanium exhaust as standard, all make this later car the one you want. We’ll let the figures do the talking: 660 bhp, 550 YESlb ft torque and 0-60 mph in 3 secs.

Naturally, most ended up in high-end collections, including our 2021 example, which only shows 24 kilometres on the odometer and has never been used on the road. It’s effectively brand-new.

“A second chance to acquire what is essentially a brand-new Ford GT, this 2021 example offers an unrepeatable opportunity. With just 24 kilometres on the clock, it has barely turned a wheel.”

One can imagine the enormous impact the E-Type had when it debuted at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. Here was a brandnew sports car that looked like something from another planet, and offered a 150 mph top speed, making it the world’s fastest production car. Based on the Le Mans-winning D-Type, the E-Type became a cultural icon practically overnight and still garners the same level of reverence to this day. Even Enzo Ferrari is said to have been somewhat impressed.

Here we have a stunning 4.2-litre Series 1 Open Two-Seater, originally supplied to the United States via a New York agent and now road registered in Sweden.

The paintwork was refreshed in 2017 and the engine has been rebuilt. We're informed that the car drives exceedingly well, offering the performance and long-legged touring ability the EType was famed for in period.

the purest expression of this legendary model, and this 1967 Open Two-Seater is a fabulous survivor. It has not been overrestored unnecessarily as so many of these cars are, and benefits from a refresh in British Racing Green.”

When it comes to the business of building a truly exceptional sports car, there’s no substitute for lightness. Lotus founder Colin Chapman was an early pioneer in lightweight design, and he inspired a whole generation of subsequent chassis engineers and car designers.

Amongst his followers was a young Dutchman by the name of Joop Donkervoort. Since 1978, Mr Donkervoort has been taking Chapman’s “simplify and add lightness” philosophy to the next level, using the very best materials available to him. His own motto is, "no compromise", and that approach to engineering is reflected in this 2021 Donkervoort D8 GTO JD70.

This is car 43 of 70 JD70s built to celebrate Joop Dankervoort’s 70th birthday. Weighing in at a mere 700 kilograms and putting out 415 bhp, this carbon fibre marvel is, unsurprisingly, blisteringly fast. Our car features the optional Carbon Exterior package that cuts the weight yet even further than a standard D8 GTO.

The car has been in the hands of a single Dutch keeper since new, covering just 9,629 kilometres. It has been regularly serviced throughout its life, and comes in excellent driving order, ready to enjoy.

Consignor's opinion

Alex Fischer

“You’d be forgiven for never having heard of Donkervoort. But, once you’ve experienced what this D8 GTO JD70 has to offer, you certainly won’t forget it in a hurry.”

Who remembers the ‘70s TV show ‘The Persuaders!’?

Those who do will recall evocative scenes of safari suit-clad Roger Moore and Tony Curtis charging around the Riviera in a gold Aston DBS and a red 246 GT Dino. The latter was the spitting image of the restored 1974 car we have here.

Enzo Ferrari was worried about how a mid-engined road car would be received, especially one with only half the customary number of cylinders. He was so cautious that he created a sub-brand, named after his late son, Dino. The 246 was the first Dino model, and remains its most celebrated to this day.

Designed by Pininfarina and powered by the Formula 2 engine that Vittorio Jano and his team had completed in honour of Enzo’s son, the 246 was beautifully balanced and seriously quick. It was the poster car of the early 1970s and proof that Signor Ferrari needn’t have been so worried.

Our car has been the subject of a no-expense-spared restoration at a cost of £94,800. The work was performed by marque specialist Autofficina and included a full body restoration, interior retrim, and drivetrain rebuild. The results speak for themselves.

Consignor's opinion

Alex Fischer

“A right-hand drive Dino is a special thing indeed, especially one so well-restored and storied as this 1974 example. Perfected by Autofficina, this Ferrari is utterly fabulous and ready to enjoy.”

Paying homage to the Cricklewood era Bentleys that dominated Le Mans throughout the 1920s, this one-off evocation is a celebration of all things British, combining components sourced from Rolls-Royce, Bentley, a Hawker Hurricane, DeHavilland Mosquito, and even HMS Victory!

Built in the spirit of the early Bob Petersen Speed Six recreations, the car features a Rolls-Royce 20/25 chassis upon which is mounted Vanden Plas-style open sports tourer bodywork as seen on the most sporting of W.O.’s Bentleys during their heyday. HMS Victory’s copper hull cladding covers the dashboard, while many of the controls originated from Second World War aircraft.

The car’s mechanical specifications are unique and cleverly thought out, marrying Bentley’s B81 6.5-litre straight-eight engine with a five-speed fully synchronised Tremec T3650 transmission. It was clearly built with usability in mind, a labour love that took ten years to complete to this superlative standard you see today.
