Rev Thomas Ferrier-Hulme Wesleyan Methodist minister, born 12 March 1856 at Torquay. He served many years in the Bristol District. From 1901 to 1903, as the last Governor of Kingswood School, before the office was abolished, he was through important changes which prepared the way for a new era in the school's life. 'I had a lot of unpleasant work to do in breaking down old prejudices ... I know this made me unpopular.' As a separated Chairman from 1919 until his retirement in 1932, he took the lead in the restoration and endowment of the New Room, of which he wrote in Voices of the New Room (drew Lecture, 1931). He also wrote John Wesley and his Horse (1933). He was President of the 1923 Conference. He died on 30 October 1942.
In the vendors family since the middle of last century. It carries an inscription 'Presented to Rev T Ferrier-Hulme by a few of is Bristol friends. Christmas 1911'. Great Grandfather of the vendor, Timothy Parsons, was a keen Methodist and would travel miles to listen to The reverend's sermons, so there was evidently some connection between Ferrier-Hulme and him. Case is hallmarked JWB for James William Benson, London 1911

CLASSIC QUILTED FLAP BAG style reference A01164, circa 1995

16cm high x 22cm wide x 7.5cm deep approx.
NOTE: The Diana single flap bag was designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1989 and was produced in the early 1990s for a few years until 1995. At the stage this bag was not named DIANA. The original bag from 1990-1995 was made mostly in classic luxurious diamond quilted lambskin leather with 24k gold plated hardware and CC logo twistlock, 25 cm size, red burgundy lining with Chanel stamped in 24k gold plated and was Made in France. The vintage Diana bags (1990-1995) look like the Timeless Classic 25.5 cm bag. The difference is the leather band that runs on both sides of the bag and the rounded bottom. In 1996, a year before Princess Diana’s untimely death, she was often photographed carrying the black leather bag during her charity events. Chanel House and more specifically Karl Lagerfeld decided to rename the handbag in her honour and pay tribute to Princess Diana by renaming the Chanel bag “DIANA” in 2015.

AN EXCELLENTLY
ENGINEERED 5’’ GAUGE MODEL OF A GWR 1500 CLASS PANNIER TANK STEAM LOCOMOTIVE
Circa 1974
Despite being a Frederick Hawksworth design (The last chief mechanical engineer of GWR) all ten that were built (1500-1509) were completed just after nationalisation in 1949 under the new Western Region of British Railways. Due to their weight (Just over 58 tons) and short wheel base they proved to be of limited use and were not good for fast running and were mainly used as stock yard workers and by the Coal Board. Most were scrapped way before their useful life. The Severn Valley Railway runs the last survivor - 1501.
This is a good model with a well detailed cab and all fittings. The GW livery might be considered slightly anomalous but harks back to the distinctive livery of the great GWR era. Complete with Walschaerts valve gear and copper and brass stack details. It comes with a glass display case on stand with a ballasted rail section on a mahogany base. This was brought by the vendor at Christie's circa 1974. It is offered without a current boiler certificate. 90cms long, 35cms high

When Phyliss died in the 1980's, part of her collection was inherited by her son Thomas O'Hara who shared her love of pictures, together with his wife Ros, they bought mainly watercolours from the David Cross Gallery in Clifton. They would both attend open evenings at the gallery, and when things went well on the dairy farm they would purchase something that took their fancy.
NOTE: This drawing dates from the late 1750's, it's quirkiness is something that Gainsborough was enjoying around that time period. The tower acts like a broken pot, with a flourishing tree inside.

Vivian mallock (british, 1945) dougie
40cm high (with stand)
Bronze, signed, dated and numbered 2/9, 2000, on a marble base
Vivian writes ‘The story of Dougie is fairly simple: In August 2000, we chartered a yacht in Grenada with some friends for a couple of weeks. We sailed north to St Vincent and, en route, dropped anchor overnight at Tobago Cays—a beautiful cluster of tiny uninhabited islands (pic attached) where we fished and snorkelled during the day. A passing fisherman told us that the nearest island was in fact occupied by three locals who wanted to offer us barbequed iguana for supper. This seemed too good to miss, so we took the dinghy ashore where Dougie welcomed us. He had heard us playing a guitar on board and promised to sing us some calypsos after supper. While we were eating our grilled iguana, we were told that Dougie’s main claim to fame was as the champion Calypso singer of the Grenadines. Long after dark, we sat on driftwood on the beach and listened spellbound to his performance. I was so taken by his character that I insisted on returning the following morning to take pictures of him so that I could sculpt him as soon as we returned to the UK. Armed with an ‘instant camera’, I took shots of Dougie from all angles. We parted the best of friends and within a couple of weeks of our return home, Dougie’s bronze bust was there for all to see in her studio.
Vivien Mallock became an Associate of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1998. Her largest work to date, the nine-foot memorial to the Royal Tank Regiment, unveiled by HM The Queen in 2000, stands in Whitehall Court and depicts the five-man crew of a Comet tank. In 2013, her large bronze roundel bass relief portrait of Her Majesty The Queen was unveiled in the Great Hall in Winchester.
She has completed numerous public sculptures of military figures, six of which constitute a unique series in Normandy, one of Major John Howard near Pegasus Bridge and in early 2014 her bust of Sir Winston Churchill was unveiled in the Pentagon as a gift from the British Government to the US Department of Defense. Other recent subjects have varied from footballer Brian Clough to Sir Walter Raleigh. She was the last artist for whom Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother sat for a portrait. £ 2,000 £ 3,000

An impressive life-size bronze stallion

Realistically cast with flowing mane and expressive features and muscular body, formed as the horse in a slow trot, raised on a naturalistic oval base
With these simple yet profound words, Privy Councillor Dr Carl
Duisberg (1861–1935) expressed a guiding principle that would
shape both his life and his legacy. For Duisberg, art was never
merely a matter of possession; it was a source of deep and
enduring delight – a way of seeing and experiencing the world
that brought beauty, clarity, and harmony into everyday life.
Known above all as a pioneering industrialist and long serving
chairman of the Bayer chemical company, Duisberg played
a decisive role in shaping both the scientific and economic
landscape of early 20th-century Germany. Yet beyond his
achievements in industry, he cultivated a deep personal
commitment to the arts and to the harmonisation of science,
culture, and nature. This philosophy found its most intimate
expression in the garden he created after moving from Elberfeld
to Leverkusen in 1912 – a move closely tied to Bayer’s expansion
and the development of the company’s headquarters. Situated
within a pre-existing landscape, Duisberg transformed the
grounds surrounding his new residence into a visionary fusion
of art and nature. A conventional redesign of the pond into
a lawn was soon abandoned in favour of a more ambitious
and poetic concept: a garden inspired by Japanese aesthetics.
Yet his aim was not imitation. Instead, Duisberg developed
a personal interpretation of the Japanese garden, one that
reflected his sensitivity to the changing seasons, the poetics of
natural form, and the contemplative dialogue between object
and environment. Every piece within this garden – from animal
bronzes to stone sculptures – was handpicked by Duisberg.
Each was chosen not only for its artistic merit but for its ability to
converse with its surroundings: the trees, the water, the shifting
light of spring and autumn. The result was a living collection, in
which artworks did not dominate
This following lots presents a selection of works from that
remarkable collection – objects that once animated a garden
designed to awaken the senses and stir the spirit. They remain
vivid echoes of Duisberg’s vision, testaments to a man for
whom art was not confined to galleries or salons but rooted
in the living world. It is also a reflection of the broader cultural
ambitions of a figure who, while leading one of the most
influential industrial enterprises of his time, never lost sight of
the humanising power of beauty.
DR CARL DUISBERG’S LETTER FROM JAPAN - A GARDEN VISION FOR LEVERKUSEN
A letter by Dr Carl Duisberg, dated 23 May 1926, was written aboard the Empress of Canada during his return voyage from East Asia. It documents with remarkable precision and detail the design plans for a Japanese-inspired garden intended for the grounds of the Bayer works in Leverkusen. Drawing upon his impressions from Shanghai, California and, most notably, Japan, Duisberg outlines a vision that transposes Far Eastern design principles into a Western industrial context. At the heart of the letter are concrete proposals for implementation: Duisberg describes an entrance framed by a torii, flanked by bronze temple guardians, followed by a pagoda or smal Buddhist temple, a wisteria-covered archway, and a pond island adorned with symbolic bronze animal figures. He also details the integration of bridges, water features, stone lanterns and garden ornaments to be sourced specifically in Tokyo.

LITERATURE: In addition to their general symbolism of marital happiness and fidelity, geese in Japan also played a role as inadvertent messengers of military secrets. Historical accounts tell of sudden flights of geese that betrayed hidden troop positions, ultimately leading to victory in battle. This protective function found expression in the decoration of sword fittings and possibly in the adoption of the goose as a family crest motif. Their presence in art was further rein forced by their seasonal return in autumn: the eighth lunar month was celebrated as kanraigetsu, the “month of the returning geese’’.

LITERATURE: Usubata vases, characterized by their wide, shallow bowls, are an iconic part of Japanese flower arrangement, especially Ikebana. Originating in the 17th century during the Edo period, these bronze vessels were designed for formal floral displays, offering a harmonious setting for flowers with their broad rims. In the early Meiji era, Usubata vases gained international attention as Japan opened to the West. Elaborate, multi part vases from regions like Takaoka and Kanazawa became highly prized at global exhibitions and were widely exported. Skilled artisans created intricate designs featuring natural motifs, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western influences.

PROVENANCE: Acquired by Bayer from Bernheimer by Carl Duisberg prior to 1930
LITERATURE: The lotus flower (hasu) in Japan symbolizes purity and enlightenment, rising untouched from the muddy waters to bloom in beauty. It reflects the Buddhist path to awakening, where one transcends worldly impurities to achieve clarity and wisdom. The lotus, with its beauty, embodies spiritual growth and the pursuit of inner peace. The blooming of the lotus is a highly anticipated event in Japan, especially in Buddhist temples, during the summer months. This fleeting bloom is a reminder of the transient nature of life, encouraging reflection on the impermanence of existence. As the lotus flourishes, it symbolizes the beauty of embracing the present moment and the importance of spiritual mindfulness. Its brief life, blooming in the morning and fading by afternoon, urges us to rise above life’s struggles, finding strength in the cycle of renewal and transformation.

LITERATURE: These intricately crafted bronze lanterns, known as Tôrô, are far more than mere sources of light. They embody deeply rooted symbols within the cultural and religious landscape of Japan. Originally introduced from China, Tôrô gradually assumed a significant place in Buddhist temples, Shint ō shrines, and later in Japanese ornamental gardens. In temple settings, the lanterns symbolise the light of Buddha’s enlightenment. They serve as guides, dispelling the darkness of ignorance. Their structure follows a fixed principle that reflects the Buddhist cosmology. The five main components - base, shaft, light chamber, roof, and finial - correspond to the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and void. These elements allude to the transience of all things and to the profound interconnectedness of nature. A distinctive feature is the presence of small bells at the corners of the roofs, which are not only decorative but traditionally believed to ward off malevolent spirits and give voice to the passing wind. Bronze Tôrô reached their height during the Muromachi period (1336 to 1573) and the Edo period (1603 to 1868). In these eras, they were valued not only as ritual objects but also as refined expressions of artisanal excellence. In later centuries, they became integral to Japanese gardens.
A hexagonal multi-tiered base, partially adorned with relief decoration, which tapers upwards and transitions into a multi-step stand, its walls decorated with mythical creatures. Above it, an oval light chamber with an intricately pierced honeycomb pattern, separated by vertical ribs and featuring a hinged door.

The apex of the roof culminates in a flamed Tâma 169 cm high

PROVENANCE: Acquired by Bayer from Bernheimer by Carl Duisberg around 1919
LITERATURE: Geese (kari) are frequently depicted in pairs, thus serving as a symbol of loyalty, partnership and family cohesion. The act of travelling and overcoming obstacles in tandem reflects these characteristics. Moreover, due to their characteristic flight behaviour, geese also represent seasonal cycles, change and transience. Their seasonal journeys are widely interpreted in Japanese aesthetics and literature as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life, and this is reflected in the constant coming and going that characterises human existence. Geese are also frequently associated with freedom, self-determination and the spiritual journey, due to the considerable distances they are capable of travelling.

64 cm high x 176 cm wide x 43 cm deep
PROVENANCE: From the collection of Dr C. Duisberg, acquired on his journey to Japan prior to 1930 - In his travel diary (p. 43), Dr. Carl Duisberg recounts how, during his journey through Japan, he discovered and was able to acquire a remarkable bronze group in the garden of Yamanaka in Kyoto. Among its elements was this elaborately crafted bridge. In his entry, he describes his find as follows: “This is an artistic representation of an old Chinese legend. On a steeply arched bridge sits a warrior on horseback, named Ko Sekko.” Regrettably, the bronze depicting the mounted warrior was stolen from the park in 1951. A report dated 22 January 1951 documents the theft and outlines the unsuccessful attempts made by the criminal police to recover the piece.
LITERATURE: Taikobashi, or arched drum bridges, are distinctive features often found in front of the torii gates of Shinto shrines in Japan. With their bold, rounded curves, these bridges are rich in symbolic and aesthetic significance. Traditionally conceived as paths traversed solely by the kami-the deities of Shinto belief-Taikobashi act as both physical and spiritual thresholds. They span the kekkai, the dividing line between the secular world and the sacred shin’iki precincts and thus serve as stage-setting structures that encourage introspection and reverence before entering holy ground. Though their dramatic incline can deter casual passage, during festivals, these bridges become vital ceremonial routes, such as when a mikoshi (portable shrine) is carried across in ritual procession.

54 cm high x 80 cm wide
PROVENANCE: Acquired by Bayer from Bernheimer by Carl Duisberg prior to 1930
LITERATURE: The word for bear in Japanese is (kuma). Two species of bear are native to Japan: The Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) and the Hokkaido brown bear (Ursus arctos yesoensis). While the bear does not play a major symbolic role in mainstream Japanese culture and is rarely a central motif in fine or applied arts, it holds deep significance in the folklore and traditions of the Ainu, the Indigenous people of northern Japan. In Ainu culture, the bear was revered as a sacred creature and often associated with mountain deities. It was believed to possess spiritual power and was honoured through ritual hunts and the iomante ceremony, in which a bear cub was raised with care and then ceremonially sent back to the spirit world. This practice reflected both the Ainu’s dependence on the bear for survival and their spiritual reverence for it. Although bears are not commonly represented in classical Japanese art, their presence in Ainu tradition highlights the regional diversity of symbolic animal meanings within Japan. In modern contexts, the bear may sometimes symbolize strength or wilderness, but its cultural weight remains strongest in the northernregions and among Ainu heritage.

1958 Fiat 600
Early “Serie 1A” example with suicide doors and wing-mounted indicators
Restored in Turin prior to UK importation in 2014
Original engine and presented in very original condition
Introduced at the 1955 Geneva Motor Show, the Fiat 600 (Seicento) was one of the most significant small cars of the post-war era. Penned by Dante Giacosa, it brought modern engineering and genuine four-seat practicality to the compact car class, helping to motorise a generation across Italy.
Powered by a rear-mounted, water-cooled four-cylinder engine with four-speed manual transmission, the 600 combined economy, reliability and usability in an incomparably compact and characterful package. Its success was huge, with production running into the millions and assembly extending under licence across multiple markets.
This 1958 example is a desirable early “Serie 1A” car, identifiable by its rear-hinged “suicide” doors and wingmounted chrome indicators, features associated with the earliest production cars. Restored in Turin prior to importation to the UK in 2014 and first UK registered in January 2015, it remains attractively original in presentation, having received primarily cosmetic restoration including a respray.
Mechanically sound and used regularly in recent years, the Fiat is reported to drive well and naturally brings a smile to the driver on every outing. Recently the car featured in the Fiat 500 60th Anniversary celebrations at Goodwood in 2017.
It has recently benefited from a service in May 2026 and is accompanied by a good history file, period handbooks and sales materials, and MOT valid until May 2027. Compact, engaging and increasingly collectible, this early Fiat 600 represents a charming example of Fiat’s landmark post-war city car in desirable early specification.

1978 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint
Believed by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club to be the earliest surviving example | Subject to an extensive, yet sympathetic ground-up restoration
Original UK-supplied right-hand-drive car retaining its 1.3-litre boxer engine condition
Few marques inspire the devotion of enthusiasts quite like Alfa Romeo. In 1971, the Alfasud was one of the company's most important models, bringing Alfa Romeo's engineering excellence to a wider audience through innovations such as its all-round disc brakes and the charismatic flat-four boxer engine.
Launched in 1976, the Alfasud Sprint clothed this advanced mechanical package in one of the most elegant sporting coupé bodies of the era. Penned by the young Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign, the Sprint combined crisp styling with the sharp, responsive handling for which the Alfasud became renowned. Today, early Sprint models are among the rarest and most sought-after variants, their scarcity heightened by the well-known corrosion issues that claimed so many examples during their early lives.
First registered in April 1978, this original UK-supplied Sprint is believed, according to the Alfa Romeo Owners Club, to be the earliest surviving example currently on Britain's roads. Acquired by the vendor in 2017, the car subsequently became the subject of a painstaking restoration inspired by a long-held admiration for the model and its distinctive boxer-engined character.
Undertaken from 2022 by the award-winning Wraith Motors of East Barnet, the restoration saw the car stripped back to its bare shell before being rebuilt from the ground up. Remarkably, given the reputation of the model, the body required only minimal metalwork, with the rear valance being the sole panel replaced. The remainder of the body is understood to be original, a testament both to the car's survival and the quality of its underlying structure.

Recorded Mileage 52,000 miles
Finished in striking Giallo Pozzuoli Yellow, an original Alfa Romeo colour, the restoration was deliberately sympathetic rather than concours-oriented, preserving the character and authenticity of the car while returning it to an exceptional standard. Significant effort was devoted to sourcing correct components from across the United Kingdom and Europe, with parts located through specialist suppliers, owners' clubs and enthusiast networks in Italy and Greece. A photographic record documents the restoration process.
The interior was completely retrimmed by specialist craftsmen in Kent, with the seats rebuilt from their frames and trimmed using painstakingly sourced materials closely matching the original brown vinyl and distinctive check-pattern cloth. The boot compartment was similarly restored, while suspension, trim and mechanical components were renewed or refurbished as required.
With just 52,000 miles recorded, the original 1.3-litre boxer engine required only sympathetic refreshing rather than a full rebuild. Renowned for its eager nature, distinctive exhaust note and willingness to rev, the compact flat-four remains one of the defining characteristics of the Alfasud driving experience. The vendor advises that the car performs exactly as an Alfasud Sprint should, combining lively performance with the exceptional handling and road-holding for which the model is celebrated.
With restoration expenditure exceeding £20,000, extensive photographic records and now huge rarity, this outstanding Sprint represents a rare opportunity to acquire possibly the finest early Alfasud Sprint currently on the road today.

1993 TVR S4C / 290S
1 of only 34 units produced
Three owners from new
Low mileage with fully documented history
Launched at the 1986 British International Motor Show, the new classically styled TVR S model, was new boss Peter Wheeler s first big project, selling 250 pre orders on the spot. Needing an entry level model that would be the introduction to the TVR line up , the new car was rushed into production within 12 months, inspired by the earlier 3000S but with mechanics based on the contemporary Tasmin 280i. At £12995, the new ‘S’ provided perfect access into TVR ownership.
Now fitted with a re engineered 2.9 litre engine, the S2 model of 1988 boosted torque to 172lb.ft (up from 162lb.ft), with slightly more power at 168bhp. Other changes included electric windows, chrome strips above the bumpers, eight spoke OZ alloy wheels, and a slightly revised instrument panel.
The S3 model of 1990 closely resembled the S2, but with a stiffer chassis for a smoother ride and better handling, a totally new body with longer doors that aided passenger exit /entrance, and a total redesign of the interior to accommodate drivers of any size. The new strengthened chassis found its way into the last of the V6 cars as production was rationalised; the S4Cs with a new bonnet with side vents similar to the Chimaera and all round disc brakes. Between 1986 and 1994, TVR produced 2,604 S-series cars; 410 of these were the V8S model.
This super rare end of production S4C/290 model has had just three owners from new, in more recent times joining a small classic car collection and driven lightly in the summer months. Showing just 46,000 miles recorded, the TVR comes with a detailed service history file containing original owners manuals and service books, receipts for servicing work and older MoT certificates. Additionally the TVR will be supplied with a

Desirable UK-supplied right-hand-drive example
Finished in iconic British Racing Green with Stone Beige leather upholstery
Extensive history file with continuous maintenance records
When production of the MGB ceased in 1980, few could have predicted that the model would make an unexpected return little more than a decade later. Revealed at the 1992 British Motor Show, the MG RV8 represented a revival of the classic British V8 roadster formula, combining the timeless lines of the MGB with modernised engineering, upgraded refinement and the unmistakable performance of Rover's venerable aluminium V8 engine.
Built at Rover's Cowley facility, the RV8 was far more than a simple reintroduction of the MGB. The bodyshell was extensively revised, suspension improved, and the interior transformed with Connolly leather, burr elm veneers and a significantly more luxurious specification. Power came from the proven 3.9-litre Rover V8, producing effortless performance accompanied by the distinctive soundtrack that had long made V8-powered MGs so appealing.
Offered here is a particularly attractive UK-market example, finished in the model's signature British Racing Green — a colour closely associated with the RV8 and one that perfectly complements its Stone Beige leather interior. The paintwork is in lovely condition, retaining a deep gloss indicative of careful ownership, while the car has reportedly always been garaged and reserved for fine-weather use.
The interior presents equally well, with the distinctive burr elm dashboard and trim remaining notably well preserved, avoiding the cracking and deterioration often encountered. The black soft top is in excellent order, while the original split-rim alloy wheels remain a particular highlight, presented in excellent condition and fitted with quality Dunlop tyres.
All original, the only modification comes in the form of a

modern stereo head unit. The original unit is included should the new owner wish to reinstall it for complete originality. Accompanying the car is an impressive history file including the original owner's handbook and stamped service book recording maintenance from new until 2002 at 44,610 miles. Thereafter, extensive invoices, MOT certificates and servicing records document continued careful upkeep. Most recently, in May 2025, the car benefited from a service including oil, filter and coolant replacement.
Combining classic MGB styling with V8 performance, rarity and improved refinement, the RV8 has become one of the most desirable modern MGs. Wellmaintained, attractively presented and supported by a substantial history file, this handsome example offers an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Abingdon's most charismatic spiritual successors.

Registration Number 8558 MD
Chassis Number 78887
After the Second World War, Messerschmitt, temporarily not allowed to manufacture aircraft, had turned its resources to producing other commodities. In 1952, Fend approached Messerschmitt with the idea of manufacturing small motor vehicles based on his Fend Flitzer invalid carriage. The first to enter production at Messerschmitt's Regensburg factory was the KR175 (the title Kabinenroller means literally "scooter with cabin"). The new KR200 replaced the KR175 in 1955, using the same basic frame but with changes to the bodywork (notably wheel cutouts in the front fenders) and an improved canopy design. The KR200 was otherwise an almost total redesign of the model. In 1957 the KR200 Kabrio model was released, featuring a cloth convertible top and fixed side window frames. This was followed by the KR201 Roadster, without window frames, and using a folding cloth top, a windscreen, and removable side curtains. A Sport Roadster was later offered with no top and a fixed canopy so the driver

would have to climb in and out at the top of the car. Production was heavily reduced in 1962 and ceased altogether in 1964 due to a fall in sales over a few years. The demand for basic economy transport in Germany had diminished as the German economy boomed. A similar situation developed in the United Kingdom, where sales were particularly affected by the increasing popularity of the Mini.
This original UK delivered KR201 Roadster was first registered in August of 1962, finding its way into current ownership in 1976. Purchased as a project, the Messerschmitt was restored by our vendor, an aircraft engineer, in the late 1970s, and has since resided in a small collection alongside other interesting period sportscars and motorcycles. With its older restoration now nicely mellowed, the Messerschmitt presents smartly overall, and starts on the button. A video showing the car being started is available upon request. In recent years Messerschmitts have become highly sought after in the collectors car market, and we are sure after a little light recommissioning this exceptionally rare example will prove to provide huge amounts of fun for the next custodian. The Messerschmitt comes with a UK V5c and older buff log book.

1935 Morgan Super Sports
I n current family ownership for c.50 years
Subject of previous long term restoration
Offered at No Reser ve
H. F. S. Morgan’s first three-wheeler came to the market in 1909, with a tubular steel frame, low centre of gravity and 'sliding pillar' independent front suspension. The platform remained for a number of years but welcomed a variety of engines from JAP, Matchless, Blackburne, Anzani and Ford. Morgan three-wheelers were employed by drivers such as Clive Lones, Harold Beart and Gwenda Stewart (who recorded 115.66mph at Montlhéry in 1930).
By 1933 Morgan's three-wheeler chassis could be ordered with four types of body; Super Sports, Sports Two-Seater, Sports Family and Family. From the early 1930s onwards, Morgan three-wheelers, like George Brough's superlative motorcycles, were fitted with Matchless engines in preference to those from JAP, commencing in 1932 with the MX three-speed Sports and Family models, which were powered by a 50-degree sidevalve v-twin producing 27.5bhp. Interest in Morgans of this period has never waned and, if anything, increased in recent times - no doubt fuelled by the company's inspired decision to create a modern threewheeler aimed at a new audience.
‘BOA 436’, a delightful 998cc Matchless-powered Super Sports, was first registered at the end of May 1935,
finding its way in the early 1970s into current ownership in Bedfordshire. The current vendor, an aircraft engineer by trade, restored the Morgan over a number of years until finally returning the car to the road in the late 1980s. The bodywork and trim were professionally refinished, whilst the engine was rebuilt by the vendor himself. Once completed, the Morgan was used

Matching numbers, UK delivered from new, with
Heritage certificate
Upgraded to fast-road specification (Webcon
Alpha EFI demonstrator)
Triumph's TR Series began with the unveiling of a prototype (the TR1) at the 1952 London Motorshow. The TR2 was launched the following year, and so began an uninterrupted run of two-seater Sports Cars that ended in 1981 with the last of the TR8s. Codenamed `Zest', the TR4 was introduced in 1961 as a replacement for the TR3A. Though based on the chassis and drivetrain of its much-loved predecessor, it cut a far more modern dash, thanks to an all new Michelotti-styled body. Power was provided by Triumph's proven OHV four-cylinder engine with capacity increased to 2138cc. All it cried out for, to compete with the new wave of saloon GTs was more power.
The stock 2-litre GT6 engine was tried and, although smooth, was actually no quicker than the old tractorderived four-pot. The answer was simple though, enlarge the straight-six by a massive 500cc to give a lusty 2.5-litre and help it breathe a little easier. With a better cylinder head and wilder camshaft, the engine worked well, although it was a bit lumpy at low revs until fuel injection was fitted to better monitor fuel delivery. All this led, in October 1967, to the launch of the TR5. Outwardly the car was barely discernible from the TR4A, but the new engine, complete with Lucas fuel injection, turned the TR into a genuine performance car, with a handy 150bhp on tap. The TR5 is arguably the best of the lot, enjoying the clean unsullied looks of the TR4 with the raunchiness of the TR6. A total of just 2,947 TR5s left the factory between October 1967 and November 1968.
This super later UK matching numbers example, first registered in late August of 1968, was subject of a professional restoration in previous ownership, using as a basis a new replacement chassis. In 2016 the TR5 was

converted by Webcon to their ‘Alpha Pro5’ digital fuel injection standard, including full ignition mapping (with no distributor). We understand the car was rolling road tested after the conversion was made, indicating a healthy c.170bhp (vs. 140bhp in standard road trim), with c.180lb/ft of torque. The TR5 was later pressed into service by Webcon as its development and show car. Acquired by the current owner in Oct 2020, the Triumph has been used sparingly whilst otherwise being stored in a dehumidified garage. The TR5 has had a replacement overdrive gearbox and differential fitted, also new front and rear bumpers.
Finished in Royal Blue (56) with Shadow Blue trim (27), an original light-alloy hard top and Minilite wheels, this is a very nice example of one of Triumph’s best efforts of the 60s.

£11,730 in remedial works (2022), at current mileage
Maintaining Lancia’s unparalleled reputation for innovation in automobile design, the Fulvia saloon arrived in 1963, and two years later was followed by a 2+2 coupé on a shorter wheelbase. Though mechanically similar, the newcomer had all the visual presence its progenitor lacked. Tuned ‘HF’ versions provided increased performance, while for the style conscious there was the eye-catching Sport Zagato, characterised by one of the Milanese carrozzeria’s typically lightweight and aerodynamic bodies. Introduced in 1965 with the 1,216cc engine, the Sport Zagato was later offered with the 1,231cc, 1,298cc and eventually the 1,584cc HF unit. A five-speed gearbox was standard equipment from 1971. Production ceased in 1972. Lighter and more nimble than the standard Fulvia, the Sport distinguished itself in competition, particularly in long distance events - Fulvia Sport Zagatos scored highly in the Sebring 12 Hours and Daytona 24 Hours (where a Sport earned a class win in 1969). Ex-works HF rally cars aside, the Sport Zagato is the most desirable and collectible of all the Fulvias and undeniably one of the most striking designs of its era. One of just 800 Fulvia Sport 1600s produced between 1971 and 1972, this beautiful LHD example was the subject of a comprehensive restoration in the early 2000s by the then owner of Paris’ main Morgan Motor Company dealership. Work was entrusted to Lancia specialists Atelier Reve and Xavier Bouron, with a number of invoices on file to support.

In 2022 the Lancia was sent to leading marque specialists Omicron Engineering for an inspection and the undertaking of any required remedial works. After a detailed inspection a number of minor issues were identified, which were methodically worked through. An inspection report and detailed invoice outlines the work completed, which included the fitting of a new wiring loom and attending to various minor electrical issues, adjusting and resetting the timing, going through the fuelling system, rebuilding the carburettors, fitting a new fuel pump and correcting any leaks, adjusting the steering, adjusting/bleeding the brakes, also repainting the boot area and one of the doors. A bill for £11,730 supports the above works. Reported to now be running and driving beautifully, this must now rank as one of the finest examples available of this rare model, which makes for an exotic and interesting alternative to more obvious European competitors of the period.

Fully restored and upgraded to Fast-Road specification
Original engine, rebuilt to 165bhp 2 litre specification
c.£60,000 invested in parts and services alone
Will be offered with a new MoT certificate
Launched in 1963, the first of Alfa Romeo’s Bertonestyled coupés – the 1.6-litre Giulia Sprint GT – featured classically stylish four-seater coachwork designed by Bertone’s Giorgetto Giugiaro, though this was now manufactured not by Bertone but at Alfa’s new factory at Arese. Beneath the skin, the new two-door coupé utilised the recently introduced 105-Series Giulia TI saloon’s five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-sprung live rear axle and – early cars excepted – all round disc brakes.
The Sprint GT came with 106bhp on tap (up from the TI’s 92bhp courtesy of two twin-choke Weber carburettors) an output sufficient for a top speed of around 112mph. Improvements to the inlet ports characterised the more-powerful (109bhp) engine of the Sprint GTV (or GT Veloce) introduced for 1965. A 1300 model – the GT Junior – arrived in 1966 and the range was further

extended the following year by the launch of the 1750GTV, The latter powered by a 1,799cc, 118bhp version of Alfa’s classic twin-cam four, housed in a fourheadlamp version of the existing bodyshell running on 14” – down from 15” – wheels. A short-lived but nonetheless popular model, the 1750GTV underwent a minor mechanical and styling revision part way through production before being replaced by the 2000 version in 1972. Drivers’ cars par excellence in the Alfa Romeo tradition, Bertone’s timelessly elegant Giulia coupés are among the most exciting sports saloons of the 1960s and today all versions are highly sought after. This impressive Fast-Road specification GTV arrived into the UK directly from Italy some years ago, being first UK registered to British designer, writer, and a television presenter (not to mention of course huge car enthusiast) Kevin McCloud. Mr. McCloud later sold the
GTV to the owner of well respected local restoration specialists AutoClassico. A brief was given to his team to restore the Alfa-Romeo to an exacting standard, leaving the car visually as original as possible, while improving its performance and enhancing handling. The GTV was stripped to bare metal and treated to a pair of new rear wings, rear bulkhead, front and rear floor pans, a spare wheel well, plus any other parts required in order to produce a perfect rust-free body shell. The shell was primed and painted inside and out, with protective stone chip paint underneath prior to lacquering. Mechanically, everything was rebuilt or replaced; the original 1750 engine was retained and rebuilt to 2000 specification with 10.6:1 compression pistons, the crank reground, balanced, the cylinder head rebuilt with larger valves and high lift cams, new Weber carburettors with GTA air intakes, and an Alfaholics stainless manifold and exhaust. The rebuilt engine was then tested to a healthy 165bhp at 5000 rpm (due to still being run in), versus 120bhp in standard trim. The
gearbox was rebuilt, as was the rear axle, Alfaholics discs and calipers fitted, also all new fuel and brake lines. The battery was moved to the boot above the rear axle for better weight distribution. The suspension was uprated with Alfaholics springs and anti roll bar, and 15” GTA-type alloys with Avon tyres fitted to each corner. The interior was refurbished with the original seats being recovered in black, the dash covered in alcantara (at a cost of £1050 alone). New grey carpeting was fitted, as were bespoke door cards, a new headlining to original specification, electric window upgrade, alloy dash panels, Momo Prototipo steering wheel, and a USB socket.

Desirable carbon fibre specification including Carbon Driver Zone and Upper Dashboard
Accompanied by continuous specialist ser vicing from 2010 to 2026
The Ferrari F430 Spider represents one of the final expressions of Ferrari's analogue-era V8 sports cars. Combining Pininfarina's timeless styling with a naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8 and Formula One-derived paddleshift transmission, it successfully bridged the gap between traditional Ferrari character and modern supercar performance. Today, the model is increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts as one of the last Ferraris to combine hydraulic steering, naturally aspirated power and an engaging, mechanical driving experience.
At the heart of the F430 Spider lies Ferrari's celebrated 4.3-litre V8, producing 483bhp and revving beyond 8,500rpm. Paired with the six-speed F1 transmission, the engine delivers the sharp throttle response, soaring induction note and exhilarating performance for which the model has become renowned. Combined with opentop motoring, the F430 Spider offers one of the most immersive Ferrari driving experiences of its generation.

Finished in the elegant and highly desirable shade of Grigio Silverstone Metallic, this example is complemented by a beautifully appointed Crema leather interior featuring Daytona-style seats with contrasting Nero inserts. The cabin benefits from an impressive selection of factory options, including the Carbon Fibre Driver Zone, Carbon Fibre Upper Dashboard and air vents, embossed Cavallino headrests, leather rear bulkhead and sills, and the distinctive Giallo rev counter. Externally, the specification is enhanced by Scuderia Ferrari shields, red brake calipers, the Challenge-style carbon fibre rear grille and factory 19-inch split-spoke alloy wheels.

1975 Ferrari 208 GT4
Rare variant of Bertone bodied Dino Ferrari
Much mechanical and cosmetic attention since 2021
The smaller brother of the Ferrari 308, the Dino 208 GT4 came at a crossroads in the evolution of Ferrari’s road car lineage. When launched in 1975, the Dino brand was still active as a standalone marque alongside Ferrari, eventually being brought together in 1976. The Dino badge represented entry-level accessibility, as typified by the preceding six-cylinder models such as the 206 GT and 246 GT. With twin-overhead camshafts per bank and four twin-choke Weber carburettors, the model produced a very capable 180 horsepower. The model was conceived and designed for the Italian market, where cars with a larger than two-litre displacement engine were subject to a value-added tax (VAT) of 38 percent. In order to circumvent this restrictive taxation, the engine was downsized to 1,991 cubic centimetres, making it the smallest production V8 ever used in a Ferrari road car.
With a pronounced wedge-shaped body, penned by Bertone, a look that was very much in keeping with the sharp-suited style of the period. The overall design is compact and well balanced, withstanding the test of time and shifting fashions. Only available in left-hand-

drive configuration, the Dino 208 GT4 remained in production from 1975 to 1980, and remains a rarely seen Ferrari.
This lovely looking 208 was formerly part of the worldfamous Maranello Rosso Ferrari collection, owned by the late Italian racer Fabrizio Violati. Violati was also a former owner of 250 GTO #3851, a close friend to Enzo Ferrari, and a founding member of the Ferrari Club of Italy.
The Ferrari arrived into the UK around 10 or so years ago, being largely stored until benefitting from a major service and recommissioning works in 2021 at a cost in the region of £9,000.
The engine received a full service and tune including all belts, fluids and filters, and engine oil leaks rectified. The steering rack was replaced, the driveshafts stripped, new CV boots were fitted and the brakes were overhauled. A new fuel pump was added, as were new fuel hoses, and the electrical system was tested and any faults addressed as required. Following this extensive

work, the paintwork was refreshed where required.
The 208 is offered complete with toolkit, jack/roll, manufacturer’s literature, factory press kit and period range brochures, Keith Bluemel report, service records, Italian registration documents, and a car cover. Further service works carried out in current ownership include a new windscreen and an MoT, at a cost totalling £4,600.
The Ferrari now shows 61,000 miles recorded, and presents very nicely. The Ferrari is offered with an Italian title document (and still fitted with black Roma number plates), bills for recent work as stated above, and older UK MoT certificate.
Interested parties should note, should this car remain in the UK, buyers should expect to pay import taxes of 5% of the sale price, plus other UK registration costs as required.

from delivery through to 2013. More recently,
maintenance has been entrusted to respected RollsRoyce and Bentley specialist N. Sandell, with substantial expenditure reflecting conscientious longterm upkeep.
At the heart of the Arnage T was Bentley's celebrated 6¾-litre turbocharged V8, an engine whose origins could be traced back to 1959. Endowed with immense reserves of torque and effortless performance, it gave the Arnage T remarkable cross-country pace while retaining the refinement and composure expected of a flagship Bentley. Few luxury saloons of its era could rival its combination of power, presence and longdistance capability.
The highly desirable Mulliner specification elevated the Arnage still further. Drawing upon Bentley's historic coachbuilding division, Mulliner models featured enhanced craftsmanship and sporting appointments, including diamond-quilted hide upholstery, unique trim details and distinctive alloy wheels, creating some of the most sought-after examples produced at Crewe during the model's lifetime.
Finished in the timeless combination of Beluga Black over Magnolia quilted hide, this example presents beautifully. The sumptuous interior features quilted leather upholstery with diamond-pattern stitching to the seats and door panels, complemented by richly figured burr walnut veneers throughout the cabin. Alloy sports pedals and other Mulliner-specific details complete the specification.
The Bentley has been in current ownership since 2019 and is accompanied by an exceptionally comprehensive maintenance record. Serviced exclusively by Bentley main dealers throughout its early life, the history records annual Bentley servicing
The accompanying history file documents extensive works including servicing, suspension repairs, battery replacement, alloy wheel refurbishment, engine flushes, corrosion protection treatment, hydraulic pipe renewal, drive mounts, ignition system components, cooling system maintenance, tyre replacement and numerous other preventative maintenance measures.

Today, the Arnage T is increasingly recognised as one of the last traditionally hand-built Bentleys, combining immense V8 performance, imposing road presence and exceptional craftsmanship. In desirable Mulliner specification and supported by an outstanding maintenance history, this handsome example represents a particularly appealing opportunity to acquire one of Crewe's most charismatic modern grand touring saloons.

1937 Riley 1.5 Litre Kestrel
O ne former owner from new
In current ownership since 2002, ex tensively restored
Offered at No Reser ve
Clothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry marque's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. Percy Riley's 9hp, 1,087cc, twin-camshaft four was an outstanding engine design by any standards, powering Rileys until the late 1950s. This proven twin-camshaft layout was retained for the new Hugh Rose-designed 1½-litre four of 1935. The Falcon saloon made its debut on the new 12hp chassis, also available with the familiar Kestrel saloon and Lynx tourer coachwork. The following year the range was augmented by the Sprite two-seater sports, and three more saloons: the Adelphi and six-light Kestrel on the 112.5” long-wheelbase chassis, and the shorter-wheelbase (106”) all-steel Merlin. In Standard trim the 1.5-litre 12/4 engine produced 45/46bhp with a single Zenith carburettor, the Special Series came with twin SUs and 52bhp, while at the top of the range was the 59/61bhp Sprite. In its ‘T T’ guise the new Sprite more than upheld Riley’s sporting traditions, winning the Ulster Tourist Trophy in both 1935 and 1936 with the legendary Freddie Dixon at the wheel, with numerous privateer successes at Brooklands and elsewhere.
Always a Devon car, this beautiful Six-Light Kestrel was supplied to its original owner, Mr. Kenneth Ayre of Goodleigh near Barnstaple, on 22nd April 1937. Amazingly Mr. Ayre’s family kept the Riley for a further 65 years before ownership passed to the current keeper in 2002. ‘ATR 718’ was promptly taken to our vendor’s engineering firm and comprehensively restored to the condition you see today.
The ground up restoration was undertaken by two experienced engineers (formerly in aviation) over a full time and continual two year period. Upon final completion of the restoration the vehicle was sent to a coach work specialist for the body work to be returned

After World War II, the company eschewed the SS connotation and was renamed Jaguar Cars, Ltd. The classically styled saloons and dropheads continued in production, with 1.5-, 2.5-, and 3.5-liter engines. The 1.5liter was an overhead valve four, the others sixes. They were sold as Jaguar 1½-Litre, 2½-Litre, and 3½-Litre models, respectively. After the introduction of the updated and mildly reengineered Mark V at the 1948 London Motor Show, the earlier cars retroactively became commonly known as "Mark IV" models. The stylish all-steel coachwork was available in saloon or drophead coupé forms and featured the kind of luxurious and well-appointed interior that would become a Jaguar hallmark. Used by SS Cars since 1934, the engine was Standard's rugged seven-bearing six, which in Jaguar specification was fitted with a Weslake overhead-valve cylinder head and was coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. In 3½-litre form the sturdy Mark IV could exceed 90mph.

It is remarkable to think of the effect the E-Type had on the world when launched in 1961. At a time when 70 mph was considered perfectly rapid enough for a family car, here was a British-built sports car which could hit a claimed 150mph! The top speed figure was possibly a little optimistic but the public didn’t object - with a list price of just over £2,000 it was half the price and just as striking as its more exotic rivals from Italy.
The Jaguar E-Type is without doubt one of the most important and prettiest sports cars of all time, at its Geneva Auto Saloon launch in 1961 Enzo Ferrari famously referred to the E-Type as the most beautiful car in the world, and he surely was someone who should know. Clearly the E-Type was strongly influenced by the famous Le Mans-winning D-Type racer of the late 1950s. Less famous but no less relevant was the lesser known E1A prototype of 1957; smaller and less powerful than the final production E-Type but showcasing the new independent rear suspension design that went on to be

a hallmark of Jaguar models for four decades. The EType’s performance did not disappoint; it weighed around 500lb less than the preceding XK150 and sported one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car.
An early Series 1 model, this restored E-Type was produced in May 1962, destined for its original supplying dealer of Jaguar Cars in New York, the first owner being a Mr. R.H. Nelson of California. In 1989 the Jaguar was purchased by the previous owner to join his 20-strong classic car collection, renovated and then shown at various events in the area. Our current vendor purchased the Jaguar from the Californian owner in September 1997. After around 10 years of occasional use, the Jaguar was sent to specialist Marcus Barclay in
Berkshire for a wish list of various improvements, which were undertaken at a cost of £9,164.23. Afterwards the engine was sent to JEC approved specialist Derek Watson, where it was stripped and rebuilt, supported by a further invoice for £14,163.61. In 2009 the Jaguar was sent to R.M. Restorations of Colchester for a speedo repair and conversion to RHD specification, at a total of £5,579.43. The following year the E-Type was treated to a full retrim by Welsh specialist BAS, including roof, aluminium dash panel and chrome sill trims, at a further cost of £5,097.52.
From 2015-2019 at the recommendation of the Jaguar Enthusiast’s Club, the E-Type was taken to local specialist Auto Classico in Bristol to deliver panel straightening, a full repaint in Imperial Maroon, removal and rebuild of rear subframe, uprated Series 2 front brakes, uprated pistons in the rear calipers, suspension
improvements, an electric engine fan, a Lumenition 123 electronic distributor, improved inertia seat belt, new headers and stainless exhaust and a generator/ alternator upgrade. The car currently has a rebuilt allsynchro Series 2 gearbox fitted, the original Moss box has also been rebuilt and comes with the car. The Jaguar has been in storage with Auto Classico since its completion.

Faithful recreation of the 1957 Ecurie Ecosse Le Mans-winning car
The Jaguar D-Type was one of the most beautiful and charismatic sports-racing cars ever made – not to mention one of the most successful. First appearing in 1954, the D-Type featured bodywork of a highly aerodynamic nature, complete with tail-mounted fin for top speed stability, penned by ex-aircraft designer Malcolm Sayer. The centre section of the car was of monocoque construction, similar to that of an aircraft fuselage, whilst power came from the now legendary twin-cam, dry-sump, producing some 250bhp at a relatively unstressed 5,570rpm. Top speed was in excess of 170mph, whilst 60mph from standstill could be achieved in a breathtaking 4.7 seconds. Not surprisingly the D-Type dominated the international racing scene from the outset, winning the Le Mans 24hour race in 1955, 1956 and 1957. By the time of its demise, just over 70 examples had been built.

Realm Engineering built up a fine reputation over almost four decades for its RAM recreations. In particular their Jaguar D-types with chassis design input by Reynard Racing are known for their greater strength and ultimately better road-holding than its 1950s forebear. After a three-hour stint behind the wheel of a Realm DType Sir Jack Brabham commented: That s a damn sight better than the original!" Richard Noble is known to have had one of his own, and Sir Stirling Moss OBE said: "You guys have done an excellent job here, you should be proud. Jaguar Quarterly magazine described the car as impressive with handling beyond question and a whole bucketload of fun'.
This stunning example has been in current ownership for some 26 years, being acquired by our vendor as a nicely built Realm (nee LR Roadsters) replica. The DType had been assembled by a prominent member of §
the Jaguar Drivers Club, who then sold the completed car to the owner of a small collection of classic Jaguars. This D-Type has no doubt been put together with all the correct components, the basis being a 3.8 Jaguar
‘straight port’ engine fed through triple Weber 45 DCOE carburettors with electronic ignition. The twin cam Jaguar unit drives through a four speed/overdrive gearbox and a Jaguar S-Type rear end with a 3.07:1 ratio Power-Lok differential.
Following a chance meeting between our vendor and Jaguar guru Aubrey Finburgh from Classic Autos of Kings Langley, the D-Type was stripped and comprehensively rebuilt, with all opening panels fabricated in aluminium. The newly fitted alloy panels include the complete bonnet, tail fin, petrol cap and boot, with interior side sections and engine bay being crafted by our vendor himself. The rear section of the car remains in fibreglass, the idea being that when a door, petrol cap, boot lid or bonnet was opened it all revealed just riveted aluminium.
In current ownership the engine was stripped, the crank reground, cylinder heads overhauled, and then carefully rebuilt. The differential was also rebuilt in the last c.500
miles. Further work includes the fitting of replacement brake calipers, discs and pads, and a new Facet Red Top
fuel pump. A floor mounted Wilwood brake and accelerator arrangement is a vast improvement over the original, with now adjustable braking from front to rear. The MGB steering rack was also modified to improve feel.
10 or so years ago the D-Type’s coachwork was expensively refinished, and it must be said still looks fantastic with painted white roundels and period drivers names on the door. Around the same time the interior was recreated to give a more authentic feel, with periodstyle instruments and mechanical full range gauges for oil temperature and pressure. The look is completed with a D-Type gear-lever and bespoke steering wheel by MotoLita.
Part of a small classic car collection, after 26 years our vendor feels the time is right to let someone else enjoy the D-Type so he can focus on other projects. With stunning performance and driveability, the Jaguar has been to Le Mans and back, as well as many 250 mile cross country dashes across in the UK. This very well considered D-Type is both stunning in detail and excellent in condition, a beautiful creation which comes highly recommended.

Returning to production after the Second World War, in the early 50s AC Cars of Thames Ditton sought a replacement for the now aging 2-Litre range of cars. A product of renowned race car designer and constructor John Tojeiro, AC Cars acquired Tojeiro’s sleek lightweight open two-seater design, developed the car’s styling, fitted a 2-litre, six-cylinder AC engine and christened the new model the “Ace”. With a light, laddertype tubular frame, all independent transverse leaf spring suspension, and an open two-seater alloy body reminiscent of Ferrari’s 166 MM Barchetta, the Ace debuted to great acclaim at the 1953 Earls Court motor show.
Featuring all-round independent suspension (a British first), the Ace was equally adept on road and track, with superb handling and minimal body roll, ultimately setting the cornerstones for the giant-killing Shelby Cobras of the 1960s.
By the mid-1950s the pre-war AC inline-six was showing its age, and so in 1956 made way for a more powerful and refined Bristol straight-six (which itself was a development of the pre-war BMW 328 unit). With triple

carburetors and hemispherical combustion chambers, the 120 bhp engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission propelled the Ace to 116 mph.
Ace-Bristols won three successive SCCA E-Production Championships in the United States between 1957 and 1959, the D-Production Championship in 1960 and CProduction Championship in 1961. In Europe, the AceBristol achieved a 2nd-in-class finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1957 and 1958, and both class victory and 7th overall in 1959.
BEX406, an Bristol-engined Ace, rolled off the production line bound for the dealer British Columbia Sportcars in Canada, arriving in early February of 1958. Originally finished in Svecia Red with a black leather interior, the Ace was used on the road for a number of years before in the late 1980s being acquired by RM Classic Car Investments Inc. of Chatham, Ontario (later to be incorporated into RM Auctions). The Ace later returned to the UK in 1990 via legendary dealer and AC specialist Brian Classic. Originally LHD when exported,
the Ace was converted to RHD specification, shortly after being purchased by a Mr C. Cadogan-Rawlinson of Suffolk, an AC Owner's Club member. At around this time the engine was rebuilt by specialist TT Workshops of Wiltshire, with a reground and nitrided crankshaft, also new fresh liners, pistons, valves, timing chain, oil pump and camshaft bearings. Mr. Cadogan-Rawlinson kept the Ace for a further 18 years before ownership passed in 2009 to a Mr. O'Connell. At which point we understand BEX406’s engine, clutch and gearbox were rebuilt again, this time by respected engine specialist Nick Finburg, primarily to compete in the 2010 Spa 6 hours, Dijon-Prenois and Sir Stirling Moss Trophy for pre-1961 sportscars at the Silverstone Classic. In 2013, the car was purchased by its previous owner, being enjoyed on road rallies and at the 60th anniversary ACOC race at Silverstone in 2014. Around 10 or so years ago the Ace was treated to mechanical overhaul, which included work to the suspension, rear axle, brakes, and steering. To improve
fuelling, a high-performance pump, regulator and filter were fitted. Cooling was improved with a thicker aluminium radiator and Kenlowe fan, meanwhile at the time a competition tuned electronic ignition system, new starter motor and alternator were installed. Now finished in silver, the Ace usefully comes with a removable hard top.
Understood to be a very original car, the Ace is fitted still with its original 'D' series engine, original gearbox with overdrive, also original body stampings to be found on the bonnet and boot. Eligible for a number of historic racing, rallying and hillclimb events in the calendar, the Ace is equally happy on the track or blasting around fast A- and B-roads. BEX406 is offered with a history file, registered on a UK V5c and comes with a UK MoT certificate to August 2026.

1965 Ford Mustang 289 Fastback
The Ford Mustang was conceived in the full knowledge that in the mid 1960s the biggest population bubble in history was now coming of age in America, ‘baby boomers' would rule the '60s and there was little or no reason to think that they wanted to drive cars that were anything like the ones their parents owned. The dramatic new Ford Mustang, therefore, created a storm when it hit the streets and it still does to this day. Ford wanted to make the Mustang affordable, and consequently, it needed to share much of its engineering with an existing Ford product, so it made sense to use the Falcon as it was their smallest model at the time and its floor pan and drivetrain had only recently been designed saving considerably on 'tooling' costs.
The Mustang was initially offered as either a ‘Notchback' Coupé or a Convertible with the 'Fastback' appearing later. It shared its front double-wishbone/coil spring and leaf spring rear suspension with the Falcon but compared to the saloon the cockpit sat further back on the chassis, resulting in a longer front and shorter rear end design and both its roof and bonnet were also lower in comparison. Those proportions somehow just worked, and with a full complement of new styling details such as the galloping horse in the grille, the cutaway side sections, the 3-section rear lights and that 'get outta my way' front end, everyone wanted one. This very attractive early Mustang 289 Fastback was first delivered in the summer of 1965, according to the attached trim tag to the following specification: Cars Each lot is subject to a buyer’s premium of 12% exclusive of VAT @ 20%

Before arriving into the UK in 2023 via California, we understand the Mustang was refinished in its original shade of Silver Blue, with the seating retrimmed in blue vinyl. Power is provided by a 289ci V8 fed via an Edelbrock intake manifold, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The look is completed with American Racing 15″ wheels, 205/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tyres, and chrome bumpers.
Once registered in the UK, the Mustang was extensively rustproofed, with further attention to the suspension in order to improve handling. The rear axle was changed for a 1:2.73 item, allowing the Ford to sit at the correct ride height to the rear, and an upgraded Edelbrock AVS2 carburettor fitted. Subsequently the car was rolling road
tuned to ensure a correct set up, and has since been driven for c.6,000 miles of longer runs. The current indicated mileage is c.4,500 miles (however we believe 104,500 miles to be a more accurate mileage reading for the car).

The new 2008 V8 Vantage model brought a raft of minor changes, such as Xenon low beams as an option, a new mesh grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels, new taillights featuring 360 LEDs, a new ECU (Emotion Control Unit), the stainless-steel and glass slot on the center stack above the stereo that started the engine, and above it a new HDD-based sat-nav system.
The two high-bolstered bucket seats at the front provided excellent side support for their occupants. At the same time, the driver fronted a slightly refreshed instrument panel featuring large dials for the speedometer and the tachometer flanked by the gauges for the fuel level and the coolant temperature. In addition, the automaker added two Organic Electroluminescence displays on the main dials for additional readouts.
The most significant change were under its skin, a new 4.7-liter V8 powerhouse, replacing the 4.3-litre one from the non-facelifted version, and a new Speedshift automatic transmission that sent the power to the rear wheels.
This later May 2013 example, in metallic black with matching black leather, and fitted with the optional 7speed "Sportshift II" automated manual transmission, has been in current ownership for around 2 years,

422 1996 Aston Martin Virage Volante 'Wide Body’
Rare 5.3 litre ‘Wide Body’ specification
In current ownership since 2012 | Recommissioned in May 2026 ahead of sale
When William Towns’ aggressively beautiful V8s reached the end of their long run, Aston took an altogether different aesthetic direction once again. Out went any kind of homage to steroidal pony cars, in came a more modern sculpted look underpinned by de Dion tube rear suspension and a double wishbone unit at the front. Still a fabulously indulgent hand-built car, the Virage managed to retain its gentleman’s club ambience in the face of cost-cutting measures from new owners Ford. Suitably reworked by Callaway Engineering of Connecticut, USA (using 'four-valve' cylinder heads, hydraulic tappets and Weber electronic fuel injection), its 5340cc 'quad-cam' V8 engine not only satisfied forthcoming emissions legislation but also developed some 330bhp and 350lbft of torque. In automatic guise, the Virage could reach 60 mph in about 6.5 seconds. During production a ‘wide body’ version of the Volante

was available, designed to accommodate the new upgraded 6.3 litre engine fitted to the Virage ahead of the launch of the forthcoming twin-supercharged Vantage. The ‘wide body’ featured flared wheel arches in order to accommodate the package's wider wheels and tyres.
This conversion was offered by Aston Martin for the existing 5.3 litre models, giving customers the aggressive looks of the larger-engined models, but sparing the cost of the additional power upgrade if not needed. Several Volantes were converted to 'cosmetic wide body' specification, such as the example offered here.
This Virage Volante was supplied new in July 1996 by
Grange Aston of Hertfordshire to British Teleflower Service (a competitor of Interflora), originally with the apt registration 'A7 TON'. The Aston-Martin is supplied with original service booklet (replaced by Aston Martin in 2006), recording regular official maintenance to 2005 (19,460 miles), with a further service at 27,949 miles. Since 2012 the Virage has been dry stored as part of an extensive private collection. Having had minimal use in this time, the car has recently been recommissioned and serviced, with the fitting of new tyres, replacement of all fluids, vacuum hoses and water pump.
Nicely finished in Buckingham Green with green-piped ivory leather interior, this rare genuine factory widebodied Aston-Martin offers in our opinion excellent value for money in the current mark

1999 Ferrari F355 F1 Spider
Finished in Argento Nürburgring with Blue hood and Nero leather interior
Single enthusiast ownership since March 2003
Equipped with Carbon Interior Package, Carbon Fibre F1 paddles and Tubi exhaust
Extensive specialist service history
Few Ferraris encapsulate the spirit of the marque's golden era quite so completely as the F355. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and rewarding driver's cars ever to emerge from Maranello, it combined breathtaking styling by Pininfarina with a level of performance and usability that set new standards for the company during the 1990s. Today, the F355 occupies a special place in Ferrari history, representing the final evolution of the analogue Ferrari before the arrival of increasingly digital generations that followed.
Introduced in 1994, the F355 featured a highly sophisticated 3.5-litre five-valve-per-cylinder V8 producing 375bhp, an extraordinary figure for the period. In F1 specification, the model became the first series-production Ferrari to offer the paddle-shift transmission technology developed directly from the

company's Formula One programme, marking the beginning of a new era for the marque.
Finished in elegant Argento Nürburgring, complemented by a Blue hood and Nero leather interior, this F355 Spider presents in a particularly attractive and timeless colour combination. The cabin benefits from the desirable Carbon Interior Package together with carbon fibre F1 gearshift paddles, while a Tubi exhaust system provides the unmistakable soundtrack for which the F355 has become legendary. The result is a specification that perfectly complements the car's sporting character whilst preserving its grand touring refinement.
Of particular note is the car's remarkable ownership history, having remained with its current custodian since 17 March 2003, a period exceeding twenty-three years.
Such long-term ownership is increasingly rare among modern Ferraris and speaks volumes for the enjoyment and satisfaction derived from this example.
The accompanying history file is exceptionally comprehensive and documents continuous care by respected Ferrari main dealers and marque specialists including Graypaul Ferrari, Ferrari Swindon, Lancaster Ferrari, Bob Houghton, McGurk Performance, Keys Motorsport and Migliore Cars. Throughout its life the car has benefited from meticulous maintenance regardless of cost, with invoices recording numerous significant works including cambelt services, clutch and F1 hydraulic actuator replacement, cooling system repairs, suspension work, gearbox and engine ancillaries, roof mechanism attention, brake system refurbishment and replacement of various age-related components.
Most recently, the Ferrari benefited from a major annual service and cambelt replacement in December 2024,
together with replacement brake pipes and drive belts, followed by an alternator replacement in January 2025 and new tyres in June 2025. An oil service, RAC 86point inspection and comprehensive health check were completed in May 2026. Importantly, with Ferrari's recommended three-year cambelt interval observed, the next cambelt service is not due until 2027.
Combining one of Ferrari's most celebrated modern V8 engines, the desirable F1 transmission, elegant Spider coachwork and an outstanding record of long-term ownership and specialist maintenance, this beautifully specified F355 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Maranello's most revered modern classics.

Ferrari's groundbreaking four-wheel-drive V12 grand tourer
Presented in iconic Rosso Corsa with extensive carbon fibre interior options
Recently subjected to comprehensive inspection, servicing and cosmetic preparation
Introduced at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari FF marked one of the most significant developments in the marque's modern history. Replacing the 612 Scaglietti, the FF standing for Ferrari Four in reference to its four seats and four-wheel-drive system successfully combined supercar performance with genuine long-distance usability, creating a new type of Ferrari capable of carrying four occupants and their luggage in comfort without compromising the marque's sporting character.
At its heart lies one of Ferrari's finest modern engines: a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V12 producing 651bhp, coupled to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and the innovative 4RM four-wheel-drive system. Lighter and more compact than conventional all-wheel-drive arrangements, the system endowed the FF with remarkable year-round capability while preserving the

balance and responsiveness expected of a Ferrari. Contemporary road tests praised the FF's breadth of ability, combining astonishing performance with refinement and practicality previously unseen in a frontengined Ferrari.
Finished in the timeless combination of Rosso Corsa over a beautifully appointed Cuoio leather interior, this example presents particularly well. The specification includes desirable 20-inch forged diamond-cut alloy wheels, carbon ceramic brakes with Giallo Modena brake calipers, Scuderia Ferrari wing shields, front and rear parking sensors, front and rear cameras, adaptive bi-xenon lighting and the factory suspension lift system. The interior is especially well specified, featuring the coveted Carbon Fibre Driver Zone with LED shift lights, carbon fibre steering wheel and paddle shifters, carbon fibre instrument binnacle, dashboard inserts, centre transmission bridge and carbon fibre sill plates. Fully
transmission bridge and carbon fibre sill plates. Fully electric comfort seats are trimmed in Cuoio leather and feature embossed Cavallino headrests. Showing just 29,060 miles, the Ferrari has recently benefited from a programme of inspection and preparation, including a PTU check, oil service, full health inspection and comprehensive 86-point RAC assessment. Cosmetic works undertaken during 2026 included rectification of stone chips and imperfections to the front bumper, bonnet and front wings, with expenditure totalling £4,482. Increasingly appreciated as one of the last naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris to combine everyday practicality with uncompromised performance, the FF occupies a unique position within the marque's history. With its innovative engineering, understated versatility and magnificent twelve-cylinder engine, it has rapidly emerged as one of the most intriguing modern classics from Maranello.

1961 AC Aceca Bristol
The third from last Bristol-engined car
Uprated 154bhp fast-road engine A hardtop version of the popular AC Ace, the fastbackstyled Aceca coupé, debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1954
A hardtop version of the popular AC Ace, the fastbackstyled Aceca coupé, debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1954. The Aceca's hatchback body was constructed in hand-formed aluminium over a tubular steel framework, while the tubular chassis was more substantially built than the Ace's. To reduce noise levels within the cabin, AC mounted all major components on rubber bushes. The result was a well-engineered, lightweight and extremely pretty GT car in the best AC tradition.
From 1956 the more powerful (up to 130bhp) 2.0-litre Bristol six-cylinder engine became available. The Bristol ‘Six’ was based on that of the pre-war BMW 328, with an ingenious cylinder head designed by Rudolf Schleicher, incorporating hemispherical combustion chambers and inclined valves without recourse to overhead or indeed

twin camshafts. Its tune-ability made the engine a popular choice for British racing car constructors, most notably Cooper. Built with near 50/50 weight distribution the Aceca is a beautifully handling car for its time.
This matching numbers Aceca Bristol was acquired in May of 1961 directly from AC Cars Ltd. by Patrick Eggar from South West England. The third from last RHD Bristol-engined Acecas, BE817 was ordered from the AC stand at the 1960 British Motor Show for Mr. Eggar’s wife Angela, to be finished in Guardsman metallic blue with black leather upholstery. The Eggar’s appear to have kept the car for some 18 years before passing to its second local owner in late 1979 at 35,000 miles. A year later the Aceca was sold to a new keeper in London, then in 1981 the car went to Scotland and to
the ownership of a Reggie McSpadden, who traded the car two years later with an Isaac Agnew of Darlington. Four years later the AC was sold by Paul Michaels of Hexagon in London to a Michael Peckitt of Cheltenham. Mr. Peckitt undertook a number of jobs on the car over a 7 year period, then after 6,000 or so miles of enjoyable driving sold the Aceca to Graham Brice of Maidstone in Kent. There are two further owners recorded before BE817 joined our current owner’s collection in 2007.
Other than routine maintenance (including chassis/ steering lubrication every 500 miles), all recent major servicing work since 2008 has been undertaken by leading UK specialist Spencer Lane-Jones of Warminster. In current ownership the Aceca has benefitted from a rebuilt engine to fast-road specification. The work was entrusted to Stanton Motorsport with the brief to improve power and torque. The crankshaft was balanced and nitrided, then built up
with new Cosworth pistons and rings, a high torque cam, ceramic coated cam followers, pushrods, valves and guides, vernier cam wheel, oil cooler, and uprated
clutch. A future keeper is advised that new and stronger pushrods are now fitted, they have a different coefficient of expansion than the standard Bristol pushrod and the tappet clearance (on a cold engine) is now to be set at 0.005 inches rather than 0.001 specified in the Owners Manual.
Once reassembled, the engine was dyno tested for 8 hours, now showing a peak power of 154 bhp at 5,700 rpm, with 144 lbs of torque at 4,500 rpm (a healthy improvement over a standard 125 bhp 100D2 motor). The engine is now lubricated by Castrol Edge 10/60, with 20/50 multi-grade for the gearbox/overdrive unit. Other sensible modifications include replacement uprated lights, the fitting of an overdrive unit, and an Aldon electronic ignition system.
An original and well sorted matching numbers example, this well prepared Aceca is ready to be enjoyed for long distance touring or light competition work.

Original matching numbers, UK-delivered example, in previous ownership for c.26 years
Late 1973 F-Series car, first road registered in 1975
Subject of recent cosmetic refurbishment works
The long-hood era for the Porsche 911 was a time of considerable change. Conceived as a sportscar, built much like the outgoing 356 it replaced, it developed over the years a flair and style that served to define the brand for years to come. The search for the 356's replacement began in 1959. Porsche, seeking a much more powerful, larger, and more comfortable replacement, debuted the prototype 901 in September of 1963 at the Frankfurt Motorshow with production beginning a year later in 1964 alongside the last of the 356s. The model range expanded in 1967 with the addition of the 'S' model marking the beginning of the 911 as a genuine performance car, meeting requisites

on both road and racetrack. Nineteen sixty-eight marked the beginnings of government influence on automobile design and emissions - later in 1969, the wheelbase was lengthened, and weight more evenly distributed throughout the chassis. By now the model range included three versions: T, E & S - the latter two equipped with a mechanical injection system. All were now powered by a motor displacing 2.0-liters. From 1970 into 1971 with the 912 dropped and the 914 picking up as the introductory car, displacement further enlarged to 2.2-liters.
Porsche delivered a 911 with the larger 2.4-litre engine and a bigger 70.4 mm stroke from August 1971, adding porsche collection.
more power to all models and creating a punchier torque. The range ran until 1973, being replaced by the new impact-bumpered G-Series, which then ran until 1989.
A very rare find, this genuine UK-delivered F-Series 2.4 Touring was built in 1973 but interestingly not road registered until January of 1975. This is possibly less surprising when one considers at the time we were in the middle of the 1973 OPEC oil crisis, with the public steering away from such luxuries as expensive continental sports cars. The Porsche was ordered new in a very period shade of Royal Purple with tan seating in cord, and Fuchs alloy wheels.
In previous ownership for some 26 years, in addition to servicing work the 911 enjoyed a bodywork restoration in 2019, which we understand included attention to the kidney bowls, a new bonnet and both front and rear windscreens. The roof lining and sound proofing were replaced at the time, as was the carpeting. In 2022 the
911 benefited from various remedial mechanical works, including a new clutch, attention to the brakes, replacement engine seals and a partial replacement of the oil lines.
Changing hands shortly afterwards, the 911 has more recently been enhanced with a repaint in its original shade, and a retrim of the seat centres.

Such cars are now increasingly rare, with comparatively few surviving UK-market examples remaining in original specification. The car was restored to a high standard in 2018, with accompanying photographs, invoices and service records documenting the work undertaken. Finished in elegant Old English White following a bare-metal respray including the engine bay, the car also benefits from undersealing and Waxoyl protection. Pleasingly, much of its originality has been retained, including the characterful interior, original instrumentation, switchgear and trim panels, complemented by replacement carpets, headlining and seat covers.
Among the notable features are its original period Wolfrace Slotmag alloy wheels, professionally refurbished using a ceramic vapour-blasting process which preserved the original cast detailing and
manufacturer markings. Mechanical improvements include a stainless-steel sports exhaust, upgraded ignition components, new radiator, replacement oil and temperature senders, and numerous sympathetic maintenance items carried out as required.
For enhanced usability, a discreet electric power steering system has been installed, transforming lowspeed manoeuvrability while leaving all original components retained should a future owner wish to return the car to factory specification. Additional equipment includes a period-style Bluetooth radio, two sets of keys and a high-quality custom-made outdoor cover.

Will be offered with a new MoT certificate
Very few new sports cars have been so eagerly awaited or so long in coming as the moderately priced SL version of the Mercedes-Benz.” Road & Track magazine. Alongside its hyper-expensive race-bred sports carthe 300SL - Mercedes-Benz offered the less exotic but no less refined 190 SL. Announced in 1954 and based on the 180 saloon whose all-independently-suspended running gear it used, the 190 SL entered production in January 1955. Mounted on a detachable sub-frame along with the four-speed manual gearbox, front suspension and steering, the power unit was a 1,897cc overhead-camshaft four – the first such engine ever to feature in a Mercedes-Benz. Breathing through twin Solex downdraft carburettors, the M121 unit produced 105bhp at 5,700rpm, enough to propel the 190SL to 100km/h in 13 seconds, and onto a top speed of 170km/h. The fact that the 190’s ride was more boulevard than sporting, and that many contemporary sports cars could out-perform it while costing a good deal less, did nothing to deter buyers. The model was a big hit in the USA, where many of the 26,000-odd vehicles produced between 1955 and 1963 found homes.
First sold in Columbus, Ohio, finished in its current colour scheme of Silbergrau Metallic with a red leather interior and factory hardtop, the SL arrived in the UK in 2002. After covering in the region of 1,000 miles, in 2006 the SL changed hands. At this point some restoration work was required and so new front and rear floor pans to both sides were fitted, along with repairs to both sills. The gearbox and dynamo were overhauled, also a new convertible roof supplied and fitted. In 2025 the SL was recommissioned with a replacement fuel pump, fuel filter, rebuild of the carburettors, cleaning of the fuel tank, and the fitting of a new battery. More

2006 Ford GT Roush/Hennessey 1000RE
One off Roush/Hennessey 1000RE model
1000bhp, 856lb/ft torque, top speed 235mph
In current ownership since 2012 In the early 1960s
In the early 1960s, after the Ford Motor Company was rebuffed by Ferrari in its attempts to buy the Italian marque as a ticket to international endurance racing success, it was decided that if Ferrari couldn't be bought, then it must be beaten!
Based on Eric Broadley's Lola GT, the new ‘GT40’ project commenced in 1963, based at Ford’s Advanced Vehicles plant at Slough, England. To strengthen their team, and in addition to Broadley, Ford engaged former Aston Martin racing director John Wyer and other experienced 'racers' such as Phil Hill, Richie Ginther and Ken Miles.
The GT40 first ran competitively in 1964 but failed at Le Mans that year and again in 1965. That first sweet Le Mans victory would fall to the 7-litre MkII, with victory the following year going to a US-built MkIV 'J' car (the MkIII being the British-built road-going version). The GT40 blew away the competition to win Le Mans in h the vehicle.
Recorded Mileage 5,900 miles
1966/67/68/69, becoming the most iconic and successful underdog in Le Mans history, and a very tough act to follow.
Some 40 years after the birth of the original GT project, and arriving in prototype form just in time for Ford's centennial celebration in 2003, the new Ford GT borrowed heavily from the stunning design and profile of the original. Launched with similar aims of shaking up the supercar establishment of the day, this new high performance Ford showcased cutting edge construction technologies and materials, a midmounted, hand-built, supercharged quad-cam 550bhp V8 engine and race-derived suspension and braking systems. The standard car delivered astounding performance and power, sprinting from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, en route to a maximum of some 205mph. When production ceased in 2006 this epic weapon became an instant collector's car.
Introducing the Roush/Hennessey 1000RE
As production of the GT model ended in 2006, around 10 of the remaining cars were sent to Roush Europe for upgrade work, in association with the UK importer Avro Motor Cars. By modifying the supercharger, Roush pushed the power by 10% to over 600 bhp, now breathing through a freer-flowing Tubi exhaust and uprated transmission-oil cooler. The cars were fitted with “600RE” stickers on both doors, as well as new door-sill covers and a plaque affixed to the centre console.
Originally one of the ten 600RE models, we understand after around a year of UK ownership, the previous owner of our example (#00473) delivered the car to special tuners Hennessy to breathe yet more fire into the GT. With the aid of two additional turbo chargers boosted to c. 18.5psi, an increase in the rev limit and a special turbo-back exhaust, the GT was now putting out a remarkable 1000bhp, propelling the car to 60 mph in a mere 2.8 seconds (!), on the way to a phenomenal top speed of 235 mph.
We understand in around 2011 the GT suffered unrecorded minor damage to the front and rear of the car, which was professionally repaired before being placed into current storage.
Since then, and in current ownership as part of a private classic car collection for approximately 14 years, the Ford has been dry stored and not driven on the road. The car has been started and warmed up on a regular basis, firing up every time immediately with no issues or warning lights. Having not been driven on the road for a number of years, and sitting on its original tyres, the GT will no doubt benefit from recommissioning before being pressed into regular use.
This outrageously powerful 1000RE is offered complete with original McIntosh radio, all books/wallet, clear HPI report, and both sets of keys/fobs. Now showing just 5,900 miles recorded, this is truly a unique opportunity to buy the most powerful Ford supercar of the early 2000s.
Note: Interested parties should note that a current UK V5C has been applied for, and a new age-related registration number will be supplied with the vehicle.

T he final creation from superlative designer
Bertone
Fully endorsed by Aston-Martin L agonda Ltd
A truly unrepeatable opportunit y
There are rare cars, and then there are cars that exist in a category of their own - bespoke creations, shaped by history, vision, and the hands of master craftsmen. The Aston Martin Bertone Jet 2+2 is one such machine. A singular commission, a concept that became a production reality, and the final creation from one of the world’s most celebrated design houses, Bertone.
Conceived as a tribute to Aston Martin’s centenary and the rich 60-year partnership between Aston Martin and Bertone, the Jet 2+2 reimagines the Rapide as an elegant shooting brake, a grand tourer with both performance and practicality. But beyond its design brilliance, this car carries even greater significance, the last project to emerge from Bertone before the revered Italian design house ceased operations in 2014. With that event, the Jet 2+2 became something even more special: a one-of-one creation, the final chapter in Bertone’s extraordinary legacy.
The story of the Jet 2+2 began in 2012, when Aston Martin collector and adventurer Barry Weir - the first person to circumnavigate the world in a classic Aston Martin DB2/4 -commissioned Bertone to create a unique car.
Inspired by the Jet 2 concept, which had been built for Lilli Bertone but was not for sale, Weir envisioned a bespoke shooting brake, blending Aston Martin’s unmistakable design language with enhanced versatility. The result was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, where it captivated enthusiasts and industry leaders alike, including Aston Martin chief designer Marek Reichman, and CEO Ulrich Bez. A few months later, Jet 2+2 joined the original 1961 Bertone Jet and the 2004 Jet 2 as a star exhibit at Aston Martin’s Centenary Celebrations at Kensington Palace, standing alongside some of the marque’s most revered creations.

So impressed were Aston’s executives that the project was approved for a limited run of ten cars, with discussions underway to put the Jet 2+2 into production. However, Bertone’s closure the following year dashed the plans, ensuring that this remains the only example in existence.
Beyond its historical significance, the Jet 2+2 is a beautifully executed vision of how a Rapide Shooting Brake could be expressed. The transformation is more than aesthetic; its extended roofline and reworked proportions bring an increased sense of space, while a full-length panoramic dimmable glass roof bathes the cabin in natural light, shifting from clear to deep blue at the press of a button. The rear seats fold flat electronically, a first for Aston Martin, extending the load space seamlessly for added practicality. The interior is finished in a bespoke two-tone combination of Cream Truffle and Obsidian Black leather, softer than that used in the standard Rapide, complemented by custom wood and chrome finishes. To further enhance passenger comfort, the front seats were redesigned to be slimmer, allowing for increased legroom in the rear. Mechanically, the Jet 2+2 retains the Rapide’s formidable 6.0-litre V12, with 476bhp, 443 lb-ft of torque and a 0-62mph time of 5.3 seconds. Performance remains every bit as thrilling as its unique design suggests, with an elegant, commanding presence on the road. This extraordinary Aston Martin has been enjoyed as intended on select grand touring occasions, showing 24,169 miles.
With unparalleled provenance and one-of-one status, the Aston Martin Bertone Jet 2+2 guarantees its next custodian a place on the world’s most prestigious concours lawns and collectors’ showcases. A once-ina-lifetime opportunity to acquire not just a rare Aston Martin, but a singular work of art, never to be replicated.

1971 Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 4.2 SWB Saloon
F ormerly in single ownership for 34 years
Genuine low ownership, low mileage example in super condition
The first example of the XJ model was known as the project number XJ4 internally, which emerged as the 1968 Jaguar XJ Series I. Lyons oversaw the bodywork and styling of the new vehicle with the idea of replacing the E-type with a GT 4 seat model for the American market, following the popular trends for the region. Both front and rear ends were inspired by the E-type with a 2 door version. As the work progressed on the new model, it was decided that the addition of rear doors was necessary, along with a shortening of the front and rear ends with enhancements to the grille and the inclusion of four headlights. Engineering was directed by Bob Knight, the genius behind Jaguar’s independent rear suspension. For the new model, he modified the design which was used to achieve both ride comfort and top notch handling on the road.
The new model made its debut just prior to the London Motor Show on September 26 of 1968. It was advertised as Jag’s best saloon car that embodied sportiness, comfort, performance and style. The final version presented to the world featured a base model with a 2.8 litre engine with a lower price that was minus the leather trim. The 4.2 engine as a straight six with twin carbs, was moderately priced for its class, and with a healthy 245bhp could reach 0-60 in 9 seconds with a top speed of 124mph. It was available with a four speed manual gearbox or an automatic. It won “Car of the Year” in Britain, but was not considered for the European distinction overall. These models cleared production lines and didn’t spend much time on showroom floors as their popularity soared.
First road registered in the autumn of 1971, this very genuine example was specified in Sable with a tan leather interior and the optional 3-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission. The car was sold by Clarke's of Pirbright to manufacturing business James Walker & Co.

of Woking, Surrey, being retained by the business until the Jaguar was sold into private ownership in 1978. The next keepers, Paul & Ian Cain, kept the XJ6 for a further 34 years, regularly exhibiting at Jaguar Driver's Club events in their ownership. The Jaguar was finally sold to a Mr. John Pape in 2012, being lovingly maintained until 2022 when it was purchased by the most recent owner from respected classic car dealer Hurst Park Automobiles Ltd for the sum of £26,500. Showing just in the region of 42,000 miles from new, this highly original example has in the recent past been fitted with a replacement roof lining, and the paintwork professionally ceramic coated to protect it for many years to come.
This wonderful Jaguar is offered complete with its original handbook pack containing the factory 'Passport to Service' book, previous registration documents, MoT certificates, and a quantity of other invoices and papers. By far the most practical in the range to own, this super smooth 4.2 litre Series One has become the most desirable XJ6 model to own in recent years, with values starting to eclipse those of its predecessor, the Mark II. An extremely stylish and now rare classic, which is surprisingly modern and comfortable to drive.

1955 Jenard Jabeka
The sole surviving example of just two original cars constructed
Hand-built in 1955 with tubular chassis and aluminium coachwork
Featured on television and multiple awardwinning concours entrant
The post-war years saw a flourishing of low-volume British sports cars and ambitious independent manufacturers, many inspired by advances in lightweight engineering and aeronautical design. Among the more unusual survivors from this era is the Jenard Jabeka, a striking one-off sports car designed and built in 1955 by G. A. Elsemore, then a flight observer with Westland Aircraft.
Constructed around a tubular steel chassis and clothed in lightweight all-aluminium coachwork, it employs largely BMC components, and rides on a coil sprung, Aframe front suspension setup, with woodhead-Monroe dampers and twin parallel link rear. The Jabeka has a graceful and poised appearance, bearing more than a passing resemblance to the later AC Cobra in its curvaceous wings, oval grille and compact proportions. Remarkably, the Jabeka predates the Cobra by several years. Although plans reportedly existed for further production, only two original examples were constructed and unfortunately the other example was destroyed in track testing, making this car the sole survivor.

Also supplied is a Shorrocks supercharger which was we’re advised was once fitted, together with low sports separate windscreens and further additional spares. The car is equipped with a well-fitting vinyl hood, tonneau cover and solid side screens.
Acquired by the vendor’s late father in 1998, the Jabeka became a familiar entrant at classic motoring events throughout the West Country. In 1999 the body and paintwork were restored by Creative Cars of Dorset, with more recent maintenance entrusted to a reputable local specialist in British classics.
The car featured in the television series Classical Car Club presented by Tony Mason and has enjoyed success on the concours field, including:
Concours Class Winner - Greenwood Exhibitions, 2004 Special Class Winner - Southern Classics, 2005
1st place, Rare Breeds Car Show - Haynes International Motor Museum, 2008
Inherited by the current owner in 2013, the car continued to be cherished by the family, appearing at a family wedding in 2014 and displayed at the Wilton Estate Super Car event 2015 in memory of the vendor’s father.
Accompanying the car is a substantial history file containing servicing and maintenance invoices. Although seldom used in recent years, the Jabeka has continued to benefit from careful professional upkeep, including recommissioning works completed in late 2023 comprising oil and filter service, ignition components, wiring repairs, carburettor servicing, replacement fluids and brake system overhaul including new wheel cylinders and brake shoes.
A fascinating example of Britain’s post-war specialbuilding movement, this unique Jenard Jabeka combines engaging provenance, distinctive and evocative styling and unique rarity.
Our vendor adds: “This car is returning to Wilton Estate for auction on Fathers Day in what would have been my father’s 100th year, I hope whoever has the good fortune to become the new owner will love and cherish it as much as he did.”

1937 Indian Sport Scout 750cc
Ex ceptionally rare sur vivor
UK-registered example from new, with buff log book
Founded in 1901 by George M. Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom, Indian Motorcycle is America’s oldest motorcycle brand. The Scout model, launched in 1920 and designed by Charles B. Franklin, a nimble, middleweight 610cc V-twin, was an instant hit among newcomers and stunt riders. In 1932 two new lightweight twin cylinder models are introduced, the 750cc “Motoplane” and the 500cc “Pony Scout”, which would later be renamed “Junior Scout”.
The Motoplane was a light and simple low-cost sports machine that can be entered in various types of competition events by an owner-rider. The engine is basically the time-tried 101 engine but with the marked improvements of better designed cylinders and dry sump oiling. However, frame and forks of the Motoplaned prove to be too light for the lively engine so it is decided to design a much stronger rolling chassis around the 750cc engine. This new “Sport Scout” was introduced in 1934, becoming a very successful model for Indian, remaining in production till 1941. The Sport Scout has a distinctly European look with its diamond frame and girder forks, a handsome looking machine with its streamlined mudguards.
First registered in the UK on 14th December 1937 with the current registration number ‘JN 1000’, this Scout Sport is almost unheard of to find in this current unrestored condition. Scouts were frequently used in period for racing; often the speedometers were removed for safety reasons so finding one with the original gauge still fitted is rare in its own right. The current owner has also sensibly moved the throttle to the right hand handlebar to avoid confusion.
Last running well in 2019, the bike has since been stored and will no doubt benefit from some light recommissioning prior to being used once more.

1928 Trojan Tourer
Rare surviving example of vintage motoring
Mid-engined, with electric starting
Founded in the run up to the First World War, Leslie Hounsfield’s engineering company Trojan Limited started in a small workshop in Clapham, South London, before shortly after moving to larger premises in Croydon. After the war vehicle development continued but it was general engineering which kept the company going. Then in 1922 Trojan did a deal with Leyland Ltd. for Leyland to manufacture and market what was now called the Trojan Utility car.
The larger bodied Three Door Tourer came in 1925, with greater rear passenger space plus a single rear door on the pavement side. 1928 saw the introduction of a more upmarket canvas bodied saloon car, the Achilles with a roll backed roof version the Apollo. In the late 1920s Trojan ended its relationship with Leyland and started full manufacturing of its vehicles at their Purley Way factory. In 1929 the new Trojan RE was introduced, the §

engine being located in a box at the back. The Trojan RE had not been a success, so in 1935 Trojan showed an entirely new car; the Mastra with a six cylinder engine in the back. But only 3 prototypes were made, Trojan later abandoned car manufacture and concentrated on vans.
Originally supplied by F.V. & H.G. Gravely of Wisborough Green in Sussex, and one of a handful of remaining survivors, this bright blue 1928 Trojan Tourer is said by our vendor to be in good mechanical and fair cosmetic condition.
