Welcome to the auction Welcome to our July 24th 2024 motorcar auction here at the beautiful Pavilion Gardens, Buxton. It has been quite the summer so far what with a General Election and England recording its best performance in a major football tournament for generations. We cannot promise that our sale will be as momentous. However, it certainly contains more than its fair share of interesting and exciting consignments.

The front cover car – a decidedly rare, UK-suppled 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL – is coming to market for the first time in fifty years and has benefited from a 1,000 hour plus bare metal restoration. At the other end of the spectrum condition-wise is a 1965 Morris Mini MK1 Rally car that has not been driven in anger since retiring from the 1973 Tour of Mull! The Mini is among thirty-one vehicles entered from the late David Lucas’s estate. A motor engineer by profession and a true petrolhead, Mr Lucas amassed a notably diverse collection focused on British cars from the 1920s through to the 1980s plus half a dozen tractors.

A world away from the farmyard, the 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello and 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 are both bona fide supercars. More affordable but similarly deemed modern classics the two 2000 Ford Racing Pumas, 2002 Lotus Elise Type 25 Limited Edition and 2005 Renault Megane Renault Sport 225 all deliver levels of driver engagement absent from many of today’s more synthetic sportscars (synthesised exhaust note played through the cabin speakers anyone?).

The 1959 Ford Zephyr MKII Saloon is probably the best you have seen in many a year and the 1935 Austin Seven ‘Nippy’ Evocation is likewise a true ‘labour of love’. Well over forty percent of the lots are being offered without reserve and many are as rare as hen’s teeth so it is as good a sale as any to raid the piggy bank over!

We hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable time with us at the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton and are able to attend our November 27th sale here too.

Kind regards, Colette McKay

Colette McKay, H&H Managing Director

1957 Austin A55 Cambridge Saloon Entered from the David Lucas Collection

1

No Reserve* Reg No: VFJ 63

Entered from the David Lucas Collection

2

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: HS6HCS45426

Introduced in January 1957, the Austin A55 Cambridge boasted a larger boot and airier cabin than its A50 predecessor (the latter courtesy of a much bigger rear window). Based around a monocoque bodyshell equipped with independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer weighed little more than a ton. Powered by a 1.5 litre B-Series OHV engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the four/fiveseater was reputedly capable of some 80mph. Available in four-door saloon or two-door commercial guises and with the option of two-tone paint schemes, the original A55 was supplanted by a Pininfarina-styled successor in 1959.

First registered in Exeter on September 1st 1957 (or so its ‘VFJ 63’ number plate would imply), chassis HS6.HCS.45426 belonged to Jamie Clark of Scarborough some twentyfive years later. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection in 1993, the Austin pleasingly retains its original Red leather upholstery. Showing an unwarranted 28,954 miles to the odometer, the A55 has been off the road for decades. Looking period perfect in White over Grey with an external sun visor, the 4/5-seater also sports additional driving lights, auxiliary gauges and a collection of eight-track cassettes. In need of recommissioning / renovation.

1936 Armstrong Siddeley 14hp Saloon

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: DBH 234

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 101401

“A very refined car, solidly built and with a certain air of dignity. The car is not one for the sporty boy but for the more sedate and those who take pride in ownership of good things.

From every angle it has the appearance of quality” (Practical Motorist magazine) Introduced for the 1936 model year, the 14hp supplanted its 12hp and 12hp Plus predecessors as the smallest capacity model in the Armstrong-Siddeley range. Based around a box-section chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 1666cc OHV straightsix engine allied to four-speed pre-selector transmission. Majoring on refinement over performance, some 3,750 were made up until 1939. First registered in Buckinghamshire on 2nd October 1936 (or so its ‘DBH 234’ number plate would imply), chassis 101401 belonged to James Martin of Elton by the late 1970s. Self-evidently the subject of a past restoration, the Armstrong-Siddeley presents in Maroon over Black with Red leather upholstery. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection in 1983, the 14hp has been off the road for several years. A rare survivor, it surely deserves being brought back to life?

1964 Triumph Herald 1200 Coupe Entered from the David Lucas Collection

3

No Reserve* Reg No: JTB 559B

1955 Austin A30 Seven Entered from the David Lucas Collection

4

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GA153204CP

Launched in April 1959, the Herald was the first Standard-Triumph to utilise the company’s new generation separate chassis platform (which would later underpin the Spitfire, GT6 and Vitesse). Blessed with elegant lines, courtesy of Giovanni Michelotti, the model featured all-round independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. An accomplished town car, criticism as to its lack of pace was answered by the introduction of the ‘1200’ during April 1961. Powered by an 1147cc four-cylinder OHV engine that developed 39bhp (boosted to 48bhp from 1963), it was capable of 75mph. Visually distinguished by a new laminate dashboard and rubber-covered bumpers, the 1200 could be had in saloon, coupe and estate guises.

First registered in Lancashire on 13th November 1964 (or so its ‘JTB 559B’ number plate would imply), chassis GA153204CP joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection fifteen years later.

Pleasingly retaining its original upholstery, the Triumph shows 34,559 unwarranted miles to the odometer. Passing its most recent MOT test 109 miles ago on 16th August 2017, the Herald has since been on static display over recent years and as such is in need of recommissioning. Exuding period charm, this rare surviving Coupe has been fitted with auxiliary gauges and a Bush radio.

Reg No: MMW 528

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AS4142965

Unveiled at the October 1951 Earls Court Motor Show but not entering production until the following May, the Austin A30 (or ‘New Austin Seven’ as it was also called) bristled with innovation. The work of ex-aeronautical engineer T.K. Garrett, the newcomer’s fully stressed monocoque bodyshell was notably lightweight. Powered by an 803cc A-Series OHV engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the compact four-seater was capable of some 70mph. Initially available in four-door guise only, two-door and estate versions were quick to join the line-up. Attributed to Holden ‘Bob’ Koto of the revered Raymond Loewy Design Studios albeit with input from Austin’s inhouse stylist Dick Burzi, the A30s bulbous, cartoon-esque lines only added to its appeal. Priced to undercut its arch rival, the Morris Minor, some 223,264 were made prior to the 1956 arrival of the A35.

First registered in Wiltshire on 20th July 1955 (or so its ‘MMW 528’’ number plate would imply), chassis AS4-142965 belonged to John Jones of Stalybridge by the late 1970s.

Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection in 1985, the Austin shows 58,755 unwarranted miles to the odometer. Off the road for decades, it will require recommissioning / renovation prior to use.

1972 Datsun 240Z

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: XSC 909K

MOT: Exempt

Only 30,500 miles from new

6

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* Chassis No: H53001605

An original RHD example and recorded as first registered in the UK on 1st January 1972 ‘XSC 909K’ is understood to be 1 of just 1,929 240Z’s sold new to Great Britain and has resided in current ownership since 1989. It was the subject of an extensive bodywork restoration and repaint in c.2006 and some copies of old restoration photographs are on file. Much work has been carried out over the years, as evident from the many invoices on file. Mechanical work has previously included a 3-row core radiator fitted and a new alternator and starter motor plus the fitment of a timing chain is invoiced in 2006. Other engine work invoiced in 2006 includes the bore and hone of +.5mm (020”) by Mersons Engine Reconditioning, Stockport, the refacing of the block, head, honing of the cylinders was carried out along with the grinding of the crank by Dave Rushton Engines, Stoke on Trent, also in 2006. A performance camshaft kit was ordered from Japan in 2006 and presumed to have been fitted.

In need of recommissioning/restoration after a period of storage, this 240Z is being offered with a collection of old MOT certificates and a large collection of invoices from the late ‘90s and early 2000s plus a current V5c document.

1977 Leyland Mini Clubman

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: OBX 623R

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: XC2S2-425816A

The Clubman 1100 offered, ‘OBX 623R’, was manufactured in 1977 and first registered on 1st March that year. Finished in the delightful period combination of Antique Gold with Brown cloth upholstery, the interior is pleasingly believed to be mostly original. Retained by the first lady owner until 1998 when she sold it having covered just c.18,500 miles from new, the Mini spent much of the next decade as a showroom exhibit adding a mere 100 or so miles to its odometer. Entering the late vendor’s (third) ownership during 2008, the Clubman was joined a year later by a similarly hued Allegro. Subsequently displayed as a pair at numerous shows and events, the accumulated several awards with the Mini accumulating an additional 12,000 or so miles in the process. A mechanic by trade, the late seller maintained the Mini very well during his custodianship. Offered with a history file that includes a collection of MOT certificates dating back to the mid-1990s, numerous tax discs from 1980 onwards, copies of previous logbooks, and a current V5C document.

A highly original, unrestored, and pleasingly unmodified example, with low mileage and ownership, this Clubman has much to recommend it.

1973 Triumph Spitfire MkIV

No Reserve* Reg No: HOX 693L

1934 Standard Big Twelve Saloon

8

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: FH53646

Reg No: DL 9135

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 197142SP

The prototype Spitfire was produced by Standard-Triumph in 1957 but was delayed until 1962. It was based on a modified Herald chassis clothed in a swooping two-seater body penned by Giovanni Michelotti. Unlike the rival Austin-Healey Sprite, it featured wind-up windows; also a single-piece front end that folded forward to provide optimum access to the engine bay. It was the MkIV variant of 1970 that embodied the most comprehensive changes made during the model’s 19-year lifespan. Some 70,021 MkIVs were produced between 1970 and 1974 when the model’s final incarnation, the Spitfire 1500, was introduced.

Manufactured in 1934, the now scarce Big Twelve offered was supplied new by Downing & Donovan on the Isle of Wight being first registered on 6th July. Purchased by the previous owner in December 2014, the Standard had been left standing by the previous owner for some thirty-four years. Thereafter provided with a comprehensive restoration over the following two years, the engine and gearbox were removed from the Standard, with the engine found to be free. The body was stripped down and the original vibrant Red colour and Black wings discovered underneath later added paintwork, with the owner’s club reportedly believing it to have been a special order colour scheme.

Manufactured on 8th January 1973 but interestingly not road registered until 10th May that year, this particular example was specified with a heater and static seatbelts from the factory. Displaying some 65,500 credible miles recorded to date, this MkIV Spitfire is understood to have been the subject of extensive restoration work in the mid-1990s.

Finished in Red paintwork with complementary Maroon and Black interior upholstery with a wood dashboard, the Triumph is supplied with a brand new Black hood ready for fitment and has recently benefitted from a new fuel pump. Offered with a collection of invoices and a previous MOT certificates, a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, and a current V5C.

The coachwork was restored including new floors and running boards, before being returned to the original colour scheme. Thereafter, the brakes were overhauled with shoes re-lined, the back axle refreshed with new seals, and the engine was renovated with new plugs, leads, and starting equipment. The headlining and carpets were renewed and the Standard re-wired, including uprating the original headlamps. Acquired by the vendor in 2018, an active member of the Standard Motor Club, the Twelve has since been used for rallies and events, including the Great Dorset Steam Fair. During the vendor’s ownership, ‘DL 9135’ has received a full interior re-trim in leather and a new carburettor. A nicely presented, rarely seen, and charming pre-war Saloon, it is offered with a history file including V5C. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Reg No: YTH 862N

MOT: Exempt

No Reserve* Chassis No: 48110868D

According to an accompanying email from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, ‘YTH 862N’ was manufactured on 11th September 1974 and first registered fifteen days later.

Little is known of the Rover’s early history beyond an accompanying MOT certificate issued on August 20th 1984 at 36,158 recorded miles. Supplied in the iconic colours of Mexico Brown over a tan cloth interior with a Tobacco Brown vinyl roof, it has a number of optional extras including power steering. The Rover has been evidently cherished during its lifetime, with a number of big invoices on file including an extensive amount of work to the engine, brakes and clutch in 2012 for £1505.56 from Crown Classic Cars Ltd in Twickenham. Owned by the vendor since 2016, he advises that he purchased the car for his private collection from a gentleman based in Chelsea, London. Having driven the P6 a thousand or so miles over the next two years, he put it into dry storage. Treated to a full respray in its original hue during 2022, the 3500S had its vinyl roof renewed the following year. The car has been recently recommissioned with an extensive service, carburettor overhaul and replacement inlet manifold gasket. The De Dion rear suspension has been refurbished and the engine bay detailed too.

Chassis No: TC0423

Built in January 1946, MG TC chassis no. 0423 was then exported to the USA and repatriated back to the UK in September 2016. Records show it was in Doylestown, Ohio from 1980 to 1998 and as the car spent most of its time in a dry state it has never had a full body-off restoration. The vendor, and current owner, has owned the car since October 2019 and used it on numerous classic car events and runs.

In current ownership, upgrades and refurbishment have been carried out to create what has been described as ‘a reliable fun car to drive’. Within the specification, is a VW-type steering box (the original is available) with all steering and suspension bushes replaced. The wheels have been trued and Blockley tyres fitted all round; the rear springs were refurbished and reset for ride height. Chassis 0423 has also benefitted from an overhaul of the carburettors and the distributor.

Cosmetically, there’s a new hood and side screens supplied by Moss Europe. The original walnut dashboard has been replaced with a burr elm copy, although the straight grain walnut factory fitted dashboard is available if a new owner wished to fit it. A great opportunity to own a very original and reliable car where modifications have only been made to improve the driving experience. The MG is offered with a collection of invoices and a current V5c document. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

2000 Ford Racing Puma

13

No Reserve* Reg No: EU Registered MOT: None Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECYA22536 With the Racing Puma Ford was keen to stress that this was no mere styling job and the idea was to transfer the know-how and technology learned directly from Ford Puma race and rally programmes to a homologationesque road car. The Ford Racing Puma featured a modified version of the 1.7 Zetec-SE engine pushing out 153bhp. The bodywork was changed to give it wider front and rear wings, The strictly limited production run was initially pencilled to run for 1,000 units, with 500 destined for the German market, and 500 for the UK. All conversions were carried out by Tickford, Daventry with only the 500 destined for the UK market being produced and sold in the end.

Racing Puma #0174 was supplied new to Ireland, being first registered on 18th April 2000. In the hands of three owners in Ireland, the last of which acquired the Racing Puma in 2008, #0174 was acquired by the vendor’s late father in 2018 and was subsequently imported into the United Kingdom.

Provided with an MOT test upon arrival in February 2018, the Puma was also lavished with the brake callipers overhauled and new brake discs and pads, before the vendor’s father shortly after sadly passed away.

Thereafter, chassis ‘22536’ has been stored alongside another Racing Puma in a barn, until being unearthed in preparation for the auction.

Offered with a history file that includes the original book pack containing the owner’s guide, associated guides, and the stamped service book displaying eleven entries with the majority being from Ford main agents.

Also included is the Irish Registration Certificate, the United Kingdom MOT certificate, and documentation regarding the commencement of the UK registration process which has yet to be completed. A very original example with plenty of potential, it is offered now having covered just 65,500 miles from new and with only four owners.

Intending purchases should note that there is a reference to a NOVA number in the history file, which we are trying to confirm the validity of.

1971 Porsche 914

14

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: TAW 234H MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 4712907849 Chassis 4712907849 was manufactured in December 1970 for the 1971 model year, being supplied new to California. Finished in the twoyear only (MY 1971 and 1972) paintwork colour of Gold Metallic with Midnight leatherette with Basketweave inlay interior upholstery, the 914 was specified from new with Green top tinted windscreen. Provided with a comprehensive restoration whilst resident inAmerica (believed between 2010 and 2015), the 914 was imported by a British collectorin 2017. A highly original and ‘matching’ numbers example, the 914 has been provided with much further improvement in recent years. The most significant works have been a top-end engine overhaul costing over £2,000 by air cooled engine specialists Aircooled Hut, and bodywork attention including to the notorious ‘hell hole’ costing almost £2,000.

Additional maintenance and improvement work completed over the last few years has included four new tyres, a fuel system refresh with a new fuel pump, renewed starting equipment by Mellors Elliot including 123 distributor, and an inspection by Porsche Centre Sheffield. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the 914 presents on the correct type Mahle alloy wheels with spare and has 99,000 miles recorded on the odometer. Offered with a history file that includes documentation from the Porsche’s time in America, a collection of invoices for maintenance and improvements from here and in America, a Porsche Certificate of Conformity, owner’s manual, 914 Tech Tips guide, Maintenance and Warranty Guide, and a current V5C document, and is also accompanied by a car cover. Notably nice 914 examples such as this are few and far between, and this example finished from new in a twoyear only colour and with matching numbers has much to recommend it.

Reg No: R265 YNB

MOT: May 2025

Chassis No: WDB1290632F160025

The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.

Manufactured in 1997 for the UK market, the SL 320 offered was first registered on 30th September that year. Finished from the factory in Obsidian Black Metallic paintwork with Mushroom leather interior upholstery, and a Black electric hood, the SL was specified with the options of headlamp cleaning equipment and rear seats. Purchased by the vendor in 2011, the Mercedes-Benz has had just three former keepers and is offered with just 74,000 miles from new. It’s supplied with the original book pack, containing the stamped service book that has documented service history from predominantly Mercedes-Benz main agents and specialists and has nine stamps, as well as the PDI stamp.

1934 Wolseley Nine

18

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN320408

A desirable ‘pull-handle’ example that was manufactured in 1963, being first registered on 24th September that year as ‘8885 RH’. Finished in White, the MG is pleasingly understood to retain much of its original Black leather interior upholstery. Acquired by its previous keeper on New Year’s Eve 1973, they kept the MG for the subsequent thirty-nine years, storing it in a barn during the latter stages of their custodianship. Bought by the vendor’s late husband in 2012, he began a comprehensive restoration which sadly had to be completed by others following his passing. Supplied with £6,325 worth of expenditure in parts alone, the MG received an extensive full bodywork restoration with new sills, boot floor, valance, and wings; an engine overhaul; re-wiring; braking overhaul; refreshed fuel system with new fuel tank; new clutch; new radiator; and a new hood which has (as of the photography session) never been taken down. Used sparingly, since the completion of the restoration last year, the MG is understood to retain its original three-bearing engine.

Offered with the ‘buff’ logbook, an MOT from 1974, a large collection of invoices from the restoration, images of the MG as found and being recovered from the barn, and a current V5C document, and is also accompanied by a car cover.

Reg No: CV 9845

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 2684112

Intended to complement the six-cylinder Hornet, the four-cylinder Nine joined the Wolseley range for 1934. Based around a sturdy ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semielliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a SOHC 1018cc engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Surprisingly roomy despite its 7ft 9in wheelbase and 3ft 9in track, the `baby’ Wolseley was reputedly capable of 59mph. Whilst the vast majority of Nines were supplied as four-door saloons, just 7,201 are thought to have been made (though, the spilt between open and closed cars is unknown).

Presented in Maroon over Black with original Dark Chestnut hide trim, notably advertised in period as the ‘aristocrat of the 9hp field’ with an OHC engine, hydraulic brakes and a 4-speed synchromesh gearbox all as standard. Interestingly, the original ‘Pedomatic’ automatic starter system is still operational! In addition to the V5C, the paperwork file includes various invoices - including for an engine overhaul in 2018, original parts and instruction manuals, sales brochure, press information club mags etc. In recent years ‘CV’ has been in a private collection and has been well-maintained with occasional use and is reported to ‘run and drive’ well. An excellent opportunity to acquire a ‘quality’ 1930s saloon in running order and in good condition throughout with a very attractive original interior.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Desirable UK-supplied example, exhaustively restored

19

Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000* Reg No: DOL 1K

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11304222016969

Successor to both the exotic race bred 300SL ‘Gullwing’ Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113 series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer’s 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Penned by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and disc brakes. Powered by a 2308cc SOHC straightsix engine mated to either an automatic or manual transmission, the model was credited with 150bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 124mph, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, roadholding, and refinement. Available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of these came with both a soft-top and the famous ‘Pagoda’ hardtop roof, so called because of its gently scalloped centre section.

A highly desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive Pagoda, this particular example was first registered in the United Kingdom as ‘DOL 1K’ on 8th February 1967. In previous private ownership from 1995, the Pagoda was acquired by the vendor, a serial commissioner of classic car restorations, in 2013 requiring attention. Much of the ensuing exhaustive restoration work was entrusted to Heritage Classics of Teesside, with the restoration work undertaken including, but not limited to, a comprehensive bodywork restoration and full repaint in the beautiful Blue hue as presented now; engine overhaul with new camshaft, big ends, pistons, and the injection system renovated; gearbox overhaul; fuel system refreshed; full interior retrim in Red leather including new carpets and a Black hood; renewed brakes with new discs and pads; and numerous renewed and restored cosmetics/trims, as well as new tyres.

The restoration reached completion in 2017, with invoices on file totalling over £43,000 worth of expenditure (with significant further expense provided), and since the renovation’s completion, a mere c.600 miles or so have been covered attending selected shows and events. Now showing just shy of 76,000 miles on the odometer, the logbook has only four former keepers recorded. Offered for sale with a history file that comprises the aforementioned invoices, a copy of the data card, a photo album of the restoration, and the current V5C document. Desirable, due to being a scarce UK-supplied example, and coming to market having only been ‘run-in’ from exhaustive restoration, this Pagoda is an inviting prospect.

Not only that, but a useful body-coloured hardtop that can be deployed in the chilly winter months is a bonus too.

1947 Alvis TA14 Shooting Brake

20

Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000* Reg No: PXS 797 Chassis No: 20853

MOT: Exempt

Entering production in 1946, the new Alvis TA14 was a successful update of the pre-WW2 12/70 (designed by George Lanchester). With a two-inch longer wheelbase and four-inch wider track as well as some additional chassis bracing, it offered an improved ride and sharper handling.

Credited with 65bhp, its 1892cc OHV four-cylinder engine was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox (with synchromesh on the top three gears) which drove the rear wheels via a hypoid back axle. Reputedly capable of over 75mph and accelerating from 0-60mph in 22 seconds, the model employed Girling twin leading shoe drum brakes all round.

While the majority were supplied as Mulliner-bodied four-door saloons, the TA14 could also be had with two-door Drophead Coupe coachwork

by Carbodies or Tickford and Shooting Brake coachwork by Reeve & Kennings like the sale example and is the only one ever built. Some 3,311 models are said to have been produced during the four years of production.

With Shooting Brake coachwork by Reeve & Kenning of Chesterfield, this impressive looking Alvis TA14, chassis number 20853, with engine number 20853, was originally registered with the number ‘LNU 743’ (the Shooting Brake wears ‘PXS 797’ today). It was delivered to Reeves and Kenning coachbuilders in Clay Cross Chesterfield in chassis form on 23rd January 1947 and delivered to Marcus Henry Collumbell, Kindsley Lodge, Adale Road, Smalley, Derbyshire on 8th July 1947. There is a copy of the factory records on file. Purchased from Ireland in June 2014 and in a poor state of repair, the Shooting Brake was entrusted to Fisher Restoration, Droitwich, to complete a 5-year complete chassis, engine and body restoration. Since the car’s restoration it has been used quite extensively on rallies, long range trips and won 3rd place at the Midland Automobile Club Concours d’Elegance at Shelsley Walsh in 2022. It is offered with a copy of the factory records and a collection of invoices from the aforementioned Fisher Restrations, the current V5C document and a collection of restoration photographs.

1962 Ogle SX1000 1 of just 66 examples produced

21

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000* Reg No: 4836 PK Chassis No: M062006

MOT: Exempt

The Ogle SX1000 was the brainchild of David Ogle, who started his car business in 1960 building a 2+2 Coupe, the Ogle 1.5, with a multi-tube frame clothed in a fibreglass body and powered by a BMC B-series engine. It was a slow seller and only seven were made. The Ogle SX1000 coupe followed in 1962 using as its base the BMC Mini platform and running gear. The first ten cars required buyers to take a new Mini to David Ogle where Ogle would strip down, strengthen, lower the steering column, and fit the fibreglass Coupe body. After taxation changes, the company made arrangements with BMC to acquire the mechanical components without bodies, although BMC made it clear their relationship was strictly that of vendor-customer and no discounts were given, meaning the price to customers was £1,300 – more than twice the price of a Mini.

David Ogle was sadly killed in a motor accident in 1962 while driving a SX1000 to Silverstone which proved truly unfortunate for the model because he had just negotiated more favourable rates for the BMC components. From 1962 to 1964 total production of SX1000s reached 66, with an estimated 40 surviving. Chassis #006 was manufactured in 1962, making it one of the first ten examples that were rebuilt from already complete Minis (with the Heritage Certificate for the Austin Mini accompanying). Understood to be the 1962 Ogle New York International Auto Show Car, the SX1000 is also believed to be the only example fitted with a bonnet air intake and electric windows and features a bored out 1275cc Cooper S engine with twin SU carburettor and oil cooler. Returned to the United Kingdom by the vendor in 2007, the Ogle has been with him ever since. Offered with a history file that contains sales literature on the Ogle, a large collection of invoices and the V5C document.

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* MOT: April 2025

Chassis No: WDB2020332F851527

First registered on 6th September 1999, ‘A13 BSM’ was delivered in iconic Mercedes Silver Metallic complemented by two-tone Black and Silver leather upholstery and AMG Monoblock alloy wheels. Amenities include heated power seats, climate control, after market radio/CD/Bluetooth, full size unused spare, first aid kit, warning triangle and tool kit. Entering the current (fourth) ownership earlier this year, the C43 is reported to come with its original service pack showing a ‘full service history’ with no fewer than 11 main dealer stamps and 10 specialist stamps, the most recent of which was less than 4,000 miles ago.

Described as having ‘good condition’ paintwork and bodywork, the vendor also advises that there is a small amount of rust bubbling on the rear arches and a small bubble on the roof, which should be easy enough to rectify. The vendor describes the car to be mechanically in ‘very good condition’ and that all components ‘work as they should’. He further describes the interior as being in ‘very good’ condition with the no wear to the driver’s bolster. This rare German sports saloon is supplied with a file full of invoices, 9 MOTs and the owner’s manual along with the stamped service book.

MOT: January 2025

Chassis No: WDB2304752F041245

Finished in Amber Red with a complementing Pebble interior, this SL500 was first registered on 1st March 2003. A Mercedes-Benz Club member, the vendor became the third owner in 2016. Showing some 102,000 miles to its odometer, the car boasts a generous amount of standard equipment plus eleven factory options including: 5-spoke 18” alloys, comfort dynamic massage multi-function seats - with hot and cold settings, Bose Premium Sound.

A well-maintained example and subject to an oil and filter change this year, there’s an MOT in place until 20th January 2025 and with ‘no advisories’. Servicing during current ownership has included: 101k oil service; 99k A service; 91k B service plus gearbox and transmission service; 70k B service; 63k new ABC pump fitted; 56k gearbox service. The vendor advises the mid-section catalytic converters have been removed and replaced with straight pipes. Although fitted originally with the keyless go system, this was disconnected some years ago to cure an electrical issue, and the remote fob now works only via the drivers door, which was an acceptable solution for the current owner.

Offered with the owner’s wallet, handbooks and service book, there is an extensive service history with all invoices since new, sales literature, the original sales invoice, all old MOTs and a current V5c document. We are informed mechanically, the car drives ‘very well’ with ‘no issues’..

No Reserve* Reg No: NLD 69

1999 BMW Z3 2.8 Roadster

25

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TD9959

Powered by MG’s proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the TD was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel wheels as standard, the two-seater also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas.

First registered on 4th December 1952, ‘NLD 69’ was reputedly first owned by a Norwich doctor who initially used it for his daily rounds. Taken off the road in March 1997, the MG was treated to a two-year cosmetic restoration and brake system overhaul with corroborating receipts remaining on file. The engine and gearbox were overhauled in 2002 and electronic ignition added the following year. Inherited by the doctor’s son during 2006, he sold it to the vendor’s late husband eleven years ago. Reputedly kept in ‘tip top order’ until the last few years when health issues intervened, the TD is now in need of recommissioning.

The car rolls freely and the engine turns over but it is thought that the fuel pump is faulty.

Offered for sale with history file containing various receipts and old MOTs.

Chassis No: WBACH32010LE92931

Styled in-house by Jogi Nagashima, the BMW Z3 entered production in September 1995.

Derived from the contemporaneous E36 3-Series Saloon (though, its semi-trailing arm rear suspension was courtesy of the earlier E30), the Roadster’s running gear included powerassisted rack and pinion steering, Macpherson strut independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by 1.8 or 1.9 litre four-cylinder engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission, larger capacity 2.8 Litre straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards. Boasting 52:48 weight distribution and a top speed of over 125mph, the stylish two-seater found fame as James Bond’s transport in the 1995 film ‘Goldeneye’.

Presented in Topasblau Metallic with a Blue leather interior with heated seats and a Blue soft-top, this Z3 2.8 displays some c.63,800 miles from new and has had just 4 former keepers. As part of the car’s upkeep, it has had a new hood switch and an oil change in 2023. One of the last of the 2.8s, it is offered with a current V5C. There’s a collection of invoices and old MOT paperwork, the original owner’s wallet, handbook and service book with 8 stamps within and a current V5C document.

Launched in September 1980 and codenamed ‘Erika’, the MK3 Escort was benchmarked against the VW Golf and Honda Civic. Adopting front-wheel drive for the first time, the newcomer also featured a lighter but stiffer monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent suspension and disc / drum brakes. Typically powered by Ford’s vaunted CVH overhead camshaft engines in 1.3 or 1.6 litre guises, the hatchback could be had with manual or automatic transmission. Buyers could choose from Popular, L, GL and Ghia trim levels with the latter being notable well appointed.

According to its accompanying original sales invoice, chassis GCAAEY49886 was supplied new by Sandicliffe Ford of Loughborough to local resident Peter Leavesley at a cost of £6,260. Finished in Paris Blue metallic with Navy cloth upholstery, the Escort 1.6 Ghia was first registered as ‘B60 NUT’ on 2nd March 1985. Taking out an extended Extra Cover warranty, Mr Leavesley kept the hatchback until it entered the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 2001. Warranted to have covered a mere 19,266 post-delivery miles with supporting service records and old MOTs etc, the five-seater has essentially been mothballed for the last twenty-three years. Highly original, it is a real timewarp but in need of recommissioning / renovation.

1953 B.M.B. President STV

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: RTC 438

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 211229

Inspired by the Simplicity Manufacturing Co’s compact tractor designs which it had imported from Wisconsin during the late 1930s, the British Motor Boats (or B.M.B.) concern devised a similarly diminutive machine aimed at the ‘market garden’ and ‘walk behind’ sectors.

Launched in 1947, the resultant B.M.B. President was built by Brockhouse Engineering of Southport. Enjoying an impressive power to weight ratio courtesy of the 918cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine it shared with the early Morris Minor, the newcomer helped many a vegetable plot owner combat post-WW2 rationing. Phased out of production in 1956, it was not uncommon to see B.M.B. Presidents working on smallholdings up until the 1980s.

Part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least 2001 when its earliest accompanying V5 registration document was issued, the President’s prior history is unknown (albeit ‘RTC 438 is a Lancashire number plate). Now presenting as a cosmetically tired older restoration, the tractor will require recommissioning prior to any further usage. An appealing and straightforward project.

1938 Commer 10hp ‘Woodie’ Entered from the David Lucas Collection

No Reserve* MOT: None

Chassis No: SAJJNAEC7CC122807

Reg No: EG 4984

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 7002307

Introduced in October 1983, the Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 was intended to be a sharper, more sporting foil to the range’s established, soporific 5.3-litre V12 model. To emphasise the difference, it was fitted with a five-speed manual Getrag gearbox as standard. With some 225bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap courtesy of its 3590cc DOHC 24 valve straight-six, the claimed 140mph top speed and 0-60mph time of 7.4 seconds were a near match for the V12. Yet when such performance was not called upon, it could reputedly return thirty miles per gallon, a feat beyond the V12’s capabilities. A revised, more positive feel to the power steering improved the handling still further.

Part of the Rootes Group alongside Sunbeam, Talbot, Humber and Hillman, Commer utilised the latter’s Minx Magnificent as the basis of its 10hp light commercials from 1936 onwards. Underpinned by a conventional ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the Commer could be had in estate car or van guises. Powered by an 1185cc four-cylinder engine allied to fourspeed all-synchromesh manual transmission, top speeds tended to be around 60mph.

Updated for the 1938 model-year, the Commer 10hp gained a new radiator grille design and more rounded wings.

Supplied new by Dutton-Forshaw North West to Canberra Wells Ltd of Manchester on 2nd August 1985, chassis SAJJNAEC7CC122807 has sixteen entries in its accompanying service book the last of which was made by D.W. Lucas Motor Engineer on 10th June 2003 at 88,656 miles. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection the following year, the Jaguar passed its last MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on 13th April 2007 at 93,718 miles. Covering a mere 217 since then, the XJ-S has sadly deteriorated and is now in need of recommissioning / restoration. A desirable manual gearbox car, it is surely worth saving?

First registered in the Soke of Peterborough on October 1st 1938 (or so its ‘EG 4984’ number plate would imply), chassis 7002307 belonged to Oliver Judd of Banbury some forty-six years later. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Commer joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 1988. Sporting a Crosley Roamio radio, the somewhat spartan interior also features an extendable load bay courtesy of its fold-down rear seat. Off the road for decades, the 10hp ‘Woodie’ will require recommissioning / refurbishment prior to use but appears to be substantially complete. A rare and interesting, light Pre-WW2 commercial.

MOT: June 2025

A ‘labour of love’ built using a genuine Austin body

31

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430364

Chassis 430364 was manufactured in 1991 and supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 22nd August. Finished in Light Blue paintwork, with Blue leather interior upholstery and a Blue hood, ‘J25 LMR’ covered the majority of its mileage in the early stages of its life, surpassing 100,000 miles by 2002. Purchased by the vendor in 2016, the 944 already boasted a strong history file with extensive service, maintenance, and improvement records on file. Further enhanced during the vendor’s ownership, the 944 received a new windscreen and starter motor in 2017, new brake discs in 2018, and a new pressure regulator in 2022.

In 2021, the 944 benefitted from some £1,100 worth of improvements with Loe Bank Porsche specialists benefitting from new spark plugs; the cambelt, rollers, and tensioners all replaced; and further mechanical attention, with less than 100 miles covered since. Also receiving recent new brake discs and pads, the 944 is offered now having covered c.142,700 miles and has had just four former keepers. The Cabriolet is supplied with a large history file which comprises the aforementioned numerous previous invoices, a large selection of MOTs dating back to the 1990s, and extensive service history across two service books and service invoices in the file illustrating sixteen services. Offered with a current MOT until June 2025 with no advisories, and a current V5C document.

1935 Austin Seven ‘Nippy’ Evocation

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: CKW 900

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: T76465

Missing the Nippy he owned from 1968-2020, the vendor set about having a replacement effectively scratch-built. Based on a later chassis but with a genuine Nippy body and Sports engine, this Evocation is worthy of close inspection. Bead blasted, ‘boxed’ for extra strength and black enamelled, the chassis carries a correct bowed front axle, strengthened steering radius arms, Nippy 9E steering box, Andre Hartford front / longer lever-arm rear dampers and overhauled brakes. Sitting on a new ash frame, the body panels were assembled and painted Signal Red by Paul Williams of Seven Rebuilds. Rewired throughout with armoured cabling, the two-seater was entrusted to Ruairidh Dunford of Alba Austins for an exhaustive engine overhaul complete with Kent ‘fast road’ camshaft, 9E large capacity finned aluminium sump, 14-bolt cylinder head, 9E inlet manifold and Phoenix crankshaft / conrods etc. The Zenith 30 VM–5 carburettor was refurbished by Steve Hodgson, while Vince Leek rejuvenated the Sports gearbox (marked with ‘S’ to the rear). The starter motor and dynamo were renovated by QX Components and the upholstery renewed with correct pattern ribbed leather. The wire wheels were powder coated and shod with fresh tyres. Derby Plating restored the brightwork and Jess Dilley re-cored the radiator. The project cost over £21,700.

Chassis No: ACG25719A

Reg No: VRW 94H

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CP51462L0

The Harris Mann-penned TR7 was a major departure from the original TR line. Its overtly wedge-shaped monocoque body was initially only available in Coupe guise, the Convertible variant not being launched until 1980. Power came from a front-mounted 1998cc four-cylinder engine that was effectively an 8-valve version of the proven Dolomite Sprint unit. Its output was 105bhp, which was enough to accelerate the newcomer to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a terminal speed of some 112mph. The powerplant initially drove through a four-speed manual gearbox, though by 1976 this had been replaced with a five-speed one. The suspension was

by MacPherson struts and coil springs at the front and a live axle and coil springs at the rear, while braking was by discs/drums and steering by rack and pinion.

Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that “Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man’s sports car in its own right”.

A Tribute to the Works TR7 driven in anger by Tony Pond in the late 1970s, ‘ORV 530S’ has been in current ownership since 2016 and is fitted with the 3.5L Rover V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox having started life as an automatic. The specification includes a stainless-steel exhaust system, tubular manifold and aluminium radiator. The subject of an engine overhaul in 2017, money was spent in May 2024 that encompassed an oil change. Being offered with a V5C Registration Document, there is an original owner’s wallet, handbook and stamped service book, a collection of old MOTs and invoices along with an MOT into May 2025.

Finished in Burgandy with a Black vinyl trim ‘VRW 94H’ has been in current family ownership since 2004 and displays a credible 85,798 miles. Believed to have resided in the Netherlands for a period before 2004, the TR is an original UK supplied right-hand drive example with overdrive and rides on chrome wire wheels with the original wheels being available. The TR6 was subject to a major service, replacement brake master cylinder and a cylinder-head overhaul in 2019 at the cost of £1,278.18. Offered with a collection of old MOTs and invoices from marque specialists and a current V5c document.

1968 Morris Mini Cooper

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000* Reg No: SBL 929G MOT: Exempt Chassis No: K-A2S6/1217101-A The first Mini Cooper appeared in 1961, following a tie-up with champion F1 constructor John Cooper. The stroke of the standard 848cc engine was lengthened to 997cc which, together with other improvements, raised power output from 34 to 55bhp - a close-ratio gearbox and front wheel disc brakes completed the package. That engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998cc unit in 1964, while the Mark II version launched in 1967 featured a redesigned grille, a larger rear window and numerous cosmetic changes.

A home market example, ‘SBL 929G’ was completed on 18th October 1968 and supplied new by Morris Garages Limited, Oxford, although not road registered until the 8th January the next year. Originally a 998cc Cooper, the Mini has been uprated to ‘Cooper S’ specification with a 1275cc 11-stud engine, and ‘S’ front and rear brakes and servo. Finished in Almond Green paintwork with a White roof, it features a complementary Black interior. Since joining the vendor’s private collection in 2007 the Mini has received significant improvement including a new master cylinder in 2010; interior dashboard trim kit, carpet set, and boot board from Newton Commercial costing some £600 in 2015; and sports coil and refreshed starting equipment in 2021. Pleasingly boasting its original sills, the Cooper ‘S’ started readily during our recent photography session.

Supplied with a collection of invoices, BMIHT Heritage Certificate, and a current V5C document. The vendor notes that the passenger seat will receive attention prior to the sale.

1961 Daimler SP250 Dart Restored by marque specialist

35

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000* Reg No: 541 XVU Chassis No: 103755

MOT: Exempt

Daimler launched their new sports car at the 1959 New York Motor Show.

They wanted to crack the American market and the styling had transatlantic overtones to suit. By 1960, the Daimler Motor Company was in Jaguar’s hands and the so-called B specification SP250s featured a much stiffer frame, equipped with additional outriggers and a strengthening hoop between the B-posts. The jewel in the car’s crown was its engine, a silky smooth 2.5-litre V8 unit designed by Edward Turner and featuring the revolutionary hemispherical combustion chamber technology he pioneered on his Triumph motorcycle engines. With 140bhp on tap and a low all-up weight, the Daimler’s performance was strong and the sound was one to savour. According to the Motor magazine test of the period, the SP250 could accelerate to 60mph in a creditable 8.9 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 123.7mph.

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 103755 was despatched to distributor W.H. Connolly of Belfast on 21st July 1961. Factory finished in the gorgeous combination of Mountain Blue with Red leather upholstery, the Daimler was most unusual in being specified with automatic transmission which has since been refined for smoother gear changes. Road registered as ‘956 BZ’ whilst in Northern Ireland and issued with its current number plate ‘541 XVU’ since returning to the mainland, the SP250 was treated to treated to an extensive, ‘ground up’ refurbishment by Dart specialist, Robert Grinter Restorations, between 2016 and 2022. The associated handwritten bills on file total almost £30,000 and list work to the chassis, body, suspension, brakes, electrics, drivetrain and steering (the latter uprated to rack and pinion).

The brightwork was renewed and the interior re-trim in St James’s Red hide with Wilton carpets and a new mohair hood cost some £8,700 alone. Still highly presentable, this rare Dart is worthy of close inspection.

Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate and large collection of invoices.

1960 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II

36

Estimate: £23,000 - £28,000* Reg No: AAU 553A Chassis No: SRA315

MOT: Exempt

Rolls-Royce launched the Silver Cloud in April 1955. It was based on a completely new closed box section frame topped by a distinguishedlooking body penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley. The proportions belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in and clothed all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is eventually produced. The car was powered by an alloy-headed, 4.9-litre straight-six engine that delivered some 155bhp at 4,000 rpm and drove through a four-speed automatic transmission. The Silver Cloud II unveiled in 1959 brought a redesigned ventilation system and standardised power steering. The biggest change, however, was the replacement of the long-serving 4.9-litre six-cylinder engine with an all-alloy 6.2-litre V8 unit. The unquoted output was sufficient to whisk the newcomer to 60mph in under 11 seconds and on to a top speed of 112mph. At total of 2,717 Cloud IIs were built between 1959 and 1962 - 2,418 with the standard wheelbase and 299 with the optional longer one.

An attractive Silver Cloud II in original Sand over Sable with Beige hide trim, it is fitted with power steering and power windows that were previously an option, in addition to a fully operational sunroof incorporating integral deflector. The paperwork file includes the RR Chassis Card, numerous receipts and invoices, old MOTs, tax discs, V5C and V5 registration documents, press articles etc etc. In recent years ‘AAU’ has been in a private collection and has been well maintained with occasional use and is reported to be in good condition throughout. An excellent opportunity to acquire a very nicely presented and well specified example of the wellrespected Silver Cloud 2 fitted with the transformational and much sought after power steering option.

2002 Lotus Elise S2 Type 25 No. 46/50 and 28,000 miles from new

37

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000* Reg No: FN52 HSZ MOT: July 2025 Chassis No: SCCGA11132HC73836 Sanctioned by Classic Team Lotus, the Elise Type 25 Limited Edition was introduced in 2002 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Hethel marque’s groundbreaking Formula 1 car (the first to utilise monocoque construction). Aping the single-seater’s iconic colour scheme, the roadgoing Type 25 was finished in Lotus Racing Green metallic with twin Yellow stripes and Red faced upholstery. Sporting the same, dramatic, insectile, Steve Crijns styling as the second generation Elise upon which it was based, the Limited Edition was thus powered by a 1.8 litre K-Series engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. Improved crash protection notwithstanding, the lightweight two-seater’s bonded aluminium structure and GRP outer panels meant that it weighed little more than 800kgs. Making the most of its modest outputs, the Lotus was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and 132mph. Allocation of the fifty Type 25 Limited Editions made was split between the UK (fortyfive) and Australian (five) markets.

This particular example – Car 46/50 – was bought by the vendor’s son, Corporal James ‘Jim’ Oakland RMP, during October 2005 and is warranted to have covered just 28,200 miles from new. The accompanying service book carries entries at 1,229, 4,615, 7,532, 17,968 and 26,036 miles.

Tragically, Jim Oakland was killed whilst on active service in Afghanistan.

His wish that his brother and father should enjoy the Lotus has proven hard to fulfil with the result that it has seen minimal usage over the past fifteen years. Kept garaged it remains highly original and comes with both soft-top and hardtop roofs. Freshly MOT tested ahead of the sale, the Elise S2 is nonetheless overdue a cambelt service. A sought after limited edition, this low mileage Type 25 is offered for sale with original bookpack and Tracker paperwork etc.

1994 Bentley Brooklands Just 25,000 miles from new

38

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000* Reg No: L842 YCV MOT: November 2024 Chassis No: RCH 54835 The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as a replacement for the Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models. It was intended as a slightly cheaper alternative to the Bentley Turbo R featuring the same styling and basic underpinnings including the marque’s famous 6.75 litre V8 engine but without the more powerful model’s turbocharger. The Brooklands continued Bentley’s design theme which was also used on contemporary Rolls-Royce vehicles throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. The exterior design featured the classic Bentley grille as well as dual headlights with wrap-around parking lights. As with many Bentley and Rolls-Royce vehicles, the Brooklands also sported the trademark descending boot lid and chrome B-pillars. The interior remained relatively unchanged from previous Bentley models but with a more curvaceous design element surrounding the leather-wrapped centre console.

This 1994 right-hand drive example is resplendent in Dark Metallic Green coachwork with tasteful Cream leather interior highlighted with contrasting piping on its electric-memory seats. The car has only had one previous owner and covered less than 25,000 miles. Supplied new

by Bentley main agent Majestic Garage of Bournemouth and serviced almost every year by Broughtons Bentley of Cheltenham, as detailed in the original service record, ‘L842 YCV’ has been carefully maintained and cared for and comes complete with the service book, owner’s manual, tool kits and an original Bentley battery trickle charger. We are delighted to present this magnificent luxury saloon with incredibly low mileage and an excellent service history, the likes of which rarely comes to market. The car is going under the hammer once more, sadly, following the passing of the owner, and having seen little use, having been purchased from our July 2022 Buxton sale for £31,500 from the original custodian from new. A great opportunity to own it if you missed it the first time round.

2000 Ford Racing Puma

39

No Reserve* Reg No: EU Registered MOT: None Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECYA24963 With the Racing Puma Ford was keen to stress that this was no mere styling job and the idea was to transfer the know-how and technology learned directly from Ford Puma race and rally programmes to a homologationesque road car. The Ford Racing Puma featured a modified version of the 1.7 Zetec-SE engine pushing out 153bhp. The bodywork was changed to give it wider front and rear wings, The strictly limited production run was initially pencilled to run for 1,000 units, with 500 destined for the German market, and 500 for the UK. All conversions were carried out by Tickford, Daventry with only the 500 destined for the UK market being produced and sold in the end.

Racing Puma #0197 was supplied new by Ford main agents Lyons of Limerick Ltd to Ireland, being first registered on 6th April 2001. Purchased by the previous keeper in 2008, the Racing Puma was well used during his ownership reaching some 120,000 miles by 2017. Around this time, the Puma’s speedometer is understood to have failed and so it was replaced by one reading 88,000 miles. Acquired by the vendor’s late father in 2018, it was imported into the United Kingdom. Provided with a gearbox overhaul, full brake refresh, and new exhaust system upon arrival, the vendor’s father shortly after sadly passed away. Since then, #0197 has been stored alongside another Racing Puma in a barn, until being unearthed in preparation for the auction. Offered with a history file that includes the original book pack containing the owner’s guide, associated guides, and the stamped service book displaying eleven entries with majority of them from Ford main agents. Also included is the Irish Registration Certificate and some previous Irish road test history.

Intending purchasers should note that import duty may be payable on the car should it stay in the United Kingdom as the Puma was never NOVA registered on arrival here in 2018.

2005 Mini Cooper S ‘BBR’ Brodie Brittain Racing conversion when new

40

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000* Reg No: P100BBR MOT: August 2024 Chassis No: WMWRE320X0TK77080 The phrase ‘pocket rocket’ could well have been coined for ‘P100 BBR’, an astonishing Mini with no less than 350bhp on tap and which featured on BBC Top Gear in 2006. It was converted when new by renowned go-faster specialists Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR) with the intention of making it the fastest Cooper S on the planet. According to the vendor, it remains so to this day. Small wonder then that the total cost, including the purchase of the standard car, was in excess of £90,000. The completely reworked engine features: a big valve head; BBR cam; solid tappets; turbocharger in place of the original supercharger; high-flow fuel system; remapped ECU; oil cooler plus high-flow water pump and radiator to keep the temperatures under control; and a big bore exhaust system and stainless-steel downpipes to ensure the gases exit with optimum efficiency. So potent an ensemble naturally required related uprates to the running gear and chassis, which included: a limited-slip differential; anti-torque steer suspension; Polybush kit; bigger, ventilated disc brakes, and braided hoses; F1 Goodyear Eagle tyres.

This monster of a Mini is equipped with a ‘Works’ body kit and finished in the strident combination of Crystal Light Blue teamed with a White roof, alloy wheels and mirror casings. The full Recaro interior is trimmed in Dark Blue hide complemented by Mid Blue carpets. The mileage covered to date is under a mere 6,750 warranted miles from new, and the Cooper S comes complete with the suitably apt registration ‘P100 BBR’ plus its original service record and owner’s handbook and is considered by the vendor to have ‘excellent’ interior trim, ‘very good’ bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, and six-speed manual transmission, and ‘good’ paintwork. Purchasers of BMW Minis have been encouraged to customise them from day one, but this breathtaking example arguably takes the idea to a whole new level!

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000* Reg No: M631 AGL MOT: September 2024 Chassis No: SARRAWBMBMG001124 Supplied new to the car-friendly climate of Japan, chassis 1124 was one of just 258 examples finished in the optional paintwork of Oxford Blue Pearlescent with Cream leather interior upholstery. Acquired new in Japan by a private collector, the RV8 was immediately stored in the owner’s collection and was kept preserved in its original condition, covering just 1,700km across its first twenty years while in Japan. Thereafter, the MG was imported in 2015, with it receiving its first MOT in November of that year, before being registered ‘M631 AGL’ in 2017 and entering the ownership of another collector, this time, based in the United Kingdom.

Retained by said collector until 2023, as such it only has three previous keepers and this RV8 is effectively in ‘as-new’ condition, including down to having the original tonneau cover and MG footwell mats. To preserve originality, the original speedometer in KM/H and the Japanese market specifications have been retained throughout.

Benefitting from mechanical improvement as required in 2023, the brakes were refreshed and bushes replaced throughout before being provided with an MOT in September with no advisories. Offered now having covered just 2,300km from new, the MG benefits from being accompanied by a mileage validation certificate having been inspected by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Centre with an e-certificate and windscreen verification. A very special example that can certainly not be overlooked, in exceptionally original, low mileage, and unrestored condition, this MG would not be out of place as a show entrant. Exceptionally rare to find in this state and that has been kept by collectors since new, this RV8 is worthy of close inspection!

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* MOT: October 2024

Chassis No: SAJJHALD3BJ785967

The ‘Sovereign’ represented the highest luxury specification for Jaguar models, sitting next to the XJR. Sovereigns featured more elaborate and expensive wood veneer, commonly highly figured burr walnut, with window control and ashtray trim panels also in veneer as opposed to plastic in other models. The leather was also of a higher quality and often features contrasting piping, with seats being of the traditional fluted style. The suspension set-up was biased towards touring and the wheels were normally 16” or 17” to provide high profile tyres for additional ride quality. Externally, a Sovereign can be distinguished by the complete use of highly polished steel/chrome work around windows and rear light clusters, as well as polished radiator grille and boot garnish. The cars are simply badged as ‘Sovereign’ with no mention of ‘XJ’.

Supplied new by Colliers of Sutton Coldfield ‘P868 DOB’ has been in current ownership since 2014, displays just c.60,500 miles and has had just 3 former keepers. Upgraded to have LED running lights and a rear camera, the Jaguar has also benefitted from a new headlining and a new battery in 2022. The original owner’s wallet contains the service booklet containing 9 stamps and the owner’s handbook. A collection of invoices and old MOTs accompany the sale plus a current V5C document. A very smart looking example.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: VVU 599L

MOT: June 2025

Chassis No: GHN5296901G

Introduced in 1962, the MG B Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. The MkII (’GHN5’ chassis numbers from 1969 onwards) MG B, had a 5 main bearing engine with alternator, negative earth and, at last, received a new gearbox with synchromesh on all four forward speeds.

Finished in Red with a Black interior and chrome wire wheels ‘VVU 599L’ was originally supplied new in the Manchester area and is a RHD home market car. Fitted with working overdrive, the MG has been the subject of much expense in current ownership. Described by the vendor as in ‘Very Good condition’ and an ‘Excellent runner the MG has covered minimal mileage since it was the subject of an engine overhaul.

A list of recent work carried out up until June 2024, includes some minor restoration, a new water pump, radiator, fan, belt, pulley replacement, new front springs, engine servicing including engine oil, new plugs, leads, distributor cap, oil and air filters, stainless steel exhaust plus fresh gearbox oil and axle oil. The MG B’s history file contains photographs of a previous bodywork restoration plus old MOT certificates, Heritage Certificate, collection of invoices, a fresh MOT until (19.06.2025) with ‘no advisories’ and a current V5c document.

2003 Maserati 4200 GT

1961 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller

No Reserve* Chassis No: ZAMBC38C000009158

Just as the DB7 did for Aston Martin, at a stroke the 3200 rejuvenated the Maserati brand.

Unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Show, the 177mph Maserati Coupe (a.k.a. 4200 GT) was styled

by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. A direct evolution of the 3200 GT, the 4200 GT Coupe was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002 and was a genuine four-seater powered by a normally aspirated, Ferrari-based engine, of 390bhp. Developing 385bhp/332lbft, its 4244cc V8 engine was allied to a six-speed transmission that could be had in conventional manual or ‘Cambiocorsa’ guises (the latter incorporating electrohydraulic assistance and F1-style steering wheel paddles).

First supplied to a Mr A Peters of Twickenham, ‘LB52 TPO’ was sold by HR Owen of Kensington and PDI’d on the 27th February 2003. The Maserati was cared for initially by a number of main Ferrari and Maserati dealers and then by specialists GC Motors. Having had a new gearbox and clutch c.10,000 miles ago, new front upper and lower wishbone bushes have been fitted by the previous keeper. A new battery has also just been fitted.

Now displaying c.114,800 miles from new the Maserati is supplied with a comprehensive history file which includes the original owner’s wallet, handbook, service book, collection of invoices, old MOT certificates plus a current V5c document.

Reg No: CAS 748

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: MAW3D94187

An exceptionally advanced design in 1948, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis.

With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was reputedly capable of 77mph. From 1965, no further major production improvements were made to the Minor, with resources being channelled into improving the ADO16 (the Minor’s spiritual successor and Britain’s best-selling car in the 1960s), and development of the Morris Marina, which would succeed the Minor on the Cowley production lines in 1971.

A reluctant sale of a much-loved family member, this Traveller has been in current ownership since 2013. ‘CAS 748’ has been the subject of much work to the underside and mechanicals with Staffordshire Minors having carried out welding on the chassis, with the invoices on file.

Some further improvement has been made with the addition of recent tyres and new steel wheels. Offered with a collection of invoices and an old MOT certificate on file from 2013, there’s the charming ‘CAS’ registration number and a current V5C registration document.

1979 Vauxhall Chevette HS

46

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: TGR 144V

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 9B08RJY155226

A match for the Ford Escort RS1800 on tarmac in HS guise, the Chevette became its superior when it evolved into the HSR. Nicknamed ‘Plastic Fantastic’, the latter employed fibreglass for its front air dam, bonnet, rear spoiler, tailgate, and front / rear wings. Lighter and more aerodynamic than its predecessor, the HSR also boasted a greater range of transmission and rear axle options. Better able to deploy its considerable power and torque thanks to improved fivelink rear suspension and wider wheels, Vauxhall’s diminutive hatchback continued to embarrass rivals on tarmac well into the Group B era. The HS won the British Open Rally Championship for Drivers in 1979, while the HSR claimed the manufacturers’ crown two years later. Vauxhall were supposed to build 50 HSR cars but Blydenstein’s Sheprethbased outfit only managed to complete 34. The merger between Dealer Team Vauxhall and Dealer Opel Team saw the newly formed GM Dealer Sport switch its attention to the Opel Manta 400 which was a pity because Blydenstein was working on a 2.6 litre HSR which he felt could have changed the face of rallying!

Chassis ‘155226’ remained in road car HS guise for just the first two years of its life before being converted to full rally competition specification, being campaigned across Belgium and the UK. Over the following years, the Chevette was sold and at some stage had the engine and gearbox removed. Purchased as a rolling shell, the vendor embarked on a comprehensive restoration in 2020 using the correct-type engine and gearbox, with much of the work being detailed in accompanying photographs. Built to FIA Historic GP4 Regulations, ‘TGR 144V’ was taken back to a bare shell, with all the rust removed, a new rear tub welded in and the shell strengthened, with the exhaust tunnel grafted in as per the Works cars before a full bare metal re-paint was undertaken and a period cage fitted. Propelled by the correct-type 2300cc Twin-Cam engine, fully lightened and balanced, with Twin 48-Dellorto carburettors, ‘Works’ engine mounts, ‘Works’ exhaust manifold, all new ancillaries, alloy radiator, electric fan, and new cam belt, allied to the Getrag five-speed ‘Dog Leg’ gearbox as used in the Works cars in period.

A heavy-duty competition clutch is fitted with Works-type bias pedal box, and the ZF Limited Slip Differential (5.1 CWP) which has recently been overhauled. Stopping power is provided by AP Monte Carlo forest front brakes and on the Atlas fully floating rear axle, again, correct AP racing rear callipers are utilised. All the fuel and brake lines run inside the car using braided hoses with alloy or stainless steel fittings, along with an electric fuel pump and period rally wiring loom. Works-type rose-jointed bottom arms are fitted, as well as heavy-duty front hubs and a quick steering rack. Inside, the HS features a Co-Drivers footrest, plumbed-in fire extinguisher (albeit needing a service), hand-held fire extinguisher, Monit Rally trip meter, OMP seats and Hans type harnesses (both in date until 2027).

Riding on four nearly new Minilte-style 6x13 Revolution Wheels, they are shod with Toyo tyres, with the external appearance completed by the essential four Cibie Oscar spotlights. With just 2,000 miles covered since the full overhaul with receipts on file for £16,000 worth of expense, the Chevette is accompanied by a spare set of headlights and a set of front brake pads. HSR FIA specification cars rarely come to market, and this example has invites to events all over Europe, and since completion has had a 100% finishing record on the five events it has competed in (two rallies and three hillclimbs), making it one very much worth considering!

1929 Lagonda 2 Litre Tourer

47

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: TF 23

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: OH 9555

First registered on 16th December 1929, this handsome Lagonda 2 Litre is thought to have begun life in Lancashire (or so its distinctive ‘TF 23’ number plate would imply). Surviving World War Two, it passed through the hands of five keepers during the 1950s and 1960s migrating from Lancashire to Hertfordshire via Surrey in the process. Very much a project by the time that Geoff Purnell and John Cooper acquired it sixty-one years ago, the Tourer sported a homemade plywood ‘coachwork’ and a severely cracked frame. Undeterred the duo sourced a replacement chassis via the Lagonda Club, while its spares secretary Captain Ivan Forshaw supplied them with an ex-factory body. Exchanging its original engine for one from a 2 Litre Supercharged car (2B 1127) at some stage, ‘TF 23’ is thus thought to benefit from the blown model’s uprated crankshaft and conrods etc. Interestingly, the fourseater’s radiator was first fitted to a supercharged car too. Returning to the road during the Swinging Sixties as a very presentable ‘Woodman’s Axe’, ‘TF 23’ was even featured in a local newspaper article. Sold to its previous keeper by the renowned marque specialist Peter Wenman of Vintage Coachworks in July 1982, he retained the Tourer for no fewer than thirtyfour years albeit it was laid-up for much of that time. Entering the current ownership in 2016, the Lagonda has since been treated to an extensive programme of refurbishment.

The engine has been thoroughly refreshed with new valves guides and springs to the cylinder head plus a new head gasket and core plugs, overhauled water pump, new starter Bendix with renewed flexible couplings, and a full stainless steel exhaust system (including manifold). The radiator has been overhauled with a new honeycomb core fitted and the shell restored and re-chromed. The fuel system was gone through too gaining a new tank with sender unit, new fuel pump, replacement copper fuel lines, tap and filter bowl, as well as the carburettor being re-jetted / rejuvenated. The ignition and wiring were renovated with the magneto restored with new windings and condenser, and new HT leads and spark plugs fitted. The dynamo was overhauled and converted to two brushes, with a new battery fitted and in-keeping indicators and brake lights provided. The clutch was fitted with new springs, friction plates and central metal spinner, with the clutch cable adjusted before the braking system was completely refurbished with new front backplates fitted, and the suspension was rejuvenated with leaf springs re-tempered and set to factory specification.

Turning to the bodywork, sections of the ash frame were replaced as necessary, and new floors fitted, before the metalwork was repainted in Green. The headlights, horn and wheel

spinners were re-chromed with a new battery box and wiper linkage fitted. Shod with new tyres and tubes, attention turned to the interior with the seats re-trimmed in Black leather upholstery and new carpets installed. Finally, storage for the starting handle, jack, wheel brace and other equipment was created behind the rear seats. Invoices on file total almost £11,000 on parts alone, with the renovation works completed in early 2023. Presenting very nicely, ‘TF 23’ started readily, and both ran and drove well throughout our photography session.

Offered for sale with a large history file that contains numerous invoices relating to the recent renovation, a couple of MOTs and tax discs from the 1980s, two ‘buff’ style logbooks and previous V5 document, sales invoice for the previous owner’s purchase from Peter Wenman, CD versions of the instruction and workshop manuals, and current V5C document. Pleasingly retaining its original registration number, ‘TF 23’ is a much loved and well-sorted 2 Litre.

No Reserve* Reg No: VYB 6W

49

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AMHLF79D137888

The front-wheel drive Allegro was British Leyland’s replacement for the Issigonis-designed 1100 and 1300 and featured an evolution of the suspension developed for that car.

Available as a two- or four-door Saloon and three-door Estate, it was powered by a range of the company’s A- and E-Series engines ranging from 1100cc to 1750cc. A Mk2 version was readied in time for the 1975 London Motorshow, which brought a welcome selection of improvements and upgrades. The so-called S3 1500 was in production from 1979 to 1982. Available in four-door form only, it was powered by a 1485cc engine of 68bhp mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic transmission.

Finished in BL’s iconic Russet Brown, what else? This Allegro, displays just 46,788 miles and shows 4 former keepers on HPI. A later series of Allegro – the ‘Allegro 3’, as with the trend of the day, now devoid of chrome and featuring a plethora of the ‘more modern’ Black plastic trim. Offered from long-term ownership of 30 years, this presents as a very original example, indeed, complete with its wheel trims and period-style number plates.

An ‘L’ spec car, you didn’t get the headrests in 1981. There is a current V5C document on file, an owner’s handbook and a few old MOT certificates.

Reg No: T.B.A

MOT: October 2024

Chassis No: 2FTJW35M0KCB30355

Built to ‘lavish’ XLT Lariat specification, this imposing F350 boasts a chrome grille, leather steering wheel, plush Burgundy cloth upholstery, carpeting and tinted windows in addition to the standard fitment electric windows, swing fold mirrors, air con and cold start light etc. Powered by a 7.3 litre IDI (indirect fuel injection) International Navistar diesel V8 engine delivering 180bhp, the truck has a rear tow hitch and useful load liner. Coming in at 6.4metres long, the Double Cab can seat six.

Purchased by the vendor in Michigan during 2015, the Ford was not only used to drive across America including tackling Alaska’s Dalton Highway but also as a backup vehicle for a Nick Sanders/Yamaha motorcycle tour before shipment to Southampton. Approximately $8,000 was lavished on the Pickup over the two-year road trip period encompassing a body-off exterior refresh with the chassis sandblasted and painted and the body refurbed and Waxoyled. Sold out of the vendor’s ownership in 2021, he missed the F350 and purchased it back at the end of last year. Now on sale due to another (uprated) F350 having been acquired, the history file includes the V5C document, MOT certificate until October 2024, and shipping docs. The truck represents an unusual opportunity and looks enticing value at the appealing estimate. Be (very) different? PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Chassis No: MAW5D1255947M

Debuting alongside Jaguar’s superbly glamorous XK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Morris Minor was somewhat overshadowed. An exceptionally advanced design, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was reputedly capable of 77mph.

Recorded as first registered on the 1st January 1970, this Traveller is finished in Smoke Grey with a Light Blue interior over White steel wheels. Still appearing very close to a ‘factory look’, it is fitted with the usual wing-top mirrors and the inside looks clean and quite fresh with its Light Blue carpeting, complementing the seats and interior door cards and panels. Offered with an original handbook, accessories brochure and the passport to service, the current V5C document is present along with a collection of old MOT certificates and invoices. Said to drive ‘very well’, it will be driven to the sale. A picnic hamper is also included in the sale, perfect for long summer evenings.

Chassis No: SCBZE20C5VCH59348

The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as a replacement for the Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models. Featuring the same styling and basic underpinnings as the Turbo R, but without the more powerful model’s turbocharger, the Brooklands continued Bentley’s design theme which was also used on contemporary Rolls-Royce vehicles throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. The exterior design featured the classic Bentley grille as well as dual headlights with wrap-around parking lights. As with many Bentley and Rolls-Royce vehicles, the Brooklands also sported the trademark descending boot lid and chrome B-pillars.

The interior remained relatively unchanged from previous Bentley models but with a more curvaceous design element surrounding the leather-wrapped centre console.

Chassis ‘59348’ was manufactured in 1996 and was supplied via Rolls-Royce main agent Weybridge Automobiles on 8th November that year. Finished in the delightful colour of Wildberry Mica paintwork with complementary Magnolia hide interior upholstery, it has resided in the current ownership since 2019, and is now offered with just 53,000 miles from new on the odometer. Supplied with the original owner’s handbook and service book, which show six stamps, the most recent service being completed at approximately 48,500 miles.

Further accompanied to sale by a collection of previous MOT certificates, a no advisory MOT certificate until October 2024, tax discs, and a current V5C document. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

1940 MG VA Tickford Drophead Coupe 1 of just 591 examples made

52

Estimate: 50,000 - £60,000 Reg No: FLJ 518

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: VA2401

Manufactured by MG in collaboration with renowned coachbuilder Salmons & Sons, the VA Tickford Three-Position Drophead Coupe was introduced in 1937 as a luxurious touring car. It represented MG’s foray into the upscale automotive market, offering discerning buyers a combination of style, comfort, and performance. Built on a robust steel laddertype chassis, the VA Tickford was powered by a twin carburettor-fed 1.5 litre engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. However, the true allure of the MG VA Tickford lay in its exquisite craftsmanship. Salmons & Sons built the car’s body with meticulous attention to detail. The result was a design characterised by graceful lines, subtle curves, and a distinctively styled grille. Inside the cabin, occupants were greeted with a refined interior adorned with high-quality materials and tasteful finishes. From sumptuous leather upholstery to fine wood trim, every element exuded an air of luxury and sophistication.

Total MG VA Tickford production amounted to just 591 cars.

First registered in Bournemouth on 24th February 1940, chassis VA/2401/S must have been sold to a person of means / influence if only because taking delivery of a new car five months after the outbreak of World War Two was no easy feat! Surviving the conflict, the MG belonged to Michael Constable Esq of Orpington, Kent by the mid-1960s. Passing through the hands of John Tangye Lean Esq of Kensington (nephew of the celebrated director David Lean) and Trevor Morgan Esq of Honiton thereafter, the VA spent decades off the road before entering the current ownership as a ‘barn find’ in 2014. Undeterred by the Drophead Coupe’s poor condition, the vendor despatched it to SVW Services Ltd, a Worcestershire-based company specialising in MG’s SA, VA and WA models. Stripped to a bare chassis, ‘FLJ 518’ underwent an exhaustive restoration over the next five years which saw attention paid to its engine, ash frame, bodywork, interior, electrics, four-speed gearbox, brakes, suspension, steering, instruments and brightwork etc. The work was photographically documented and reportedly carried out on a ‘no expense spared’ basis with the final cost comfortably exceeding the car’s saleroom estimate. Said to ‘run and drive’ beautifully, this elegant MG VA Drophead Coupe is worthy of close inspection.

Offered for sale with green logbook, V5C Registration Document, restoration photos and associated bills.

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AT9665V

Introduced in 1958, the Standard Atlas contested the light van segment against the Ford Thames 400E, Morris J2 and Commer FC. A versatile design, it could be specified with sliding or hinged doors and as a pick-up too. Engines ranged in size from a 948cc petrol through to a 2260cc diesel and were, for the most part, production car derived. The drivetrain was cradled in a subframe and the independent front suspension complemented by a ‘live’ rear axle. Dropped by the newly formed British Leyland Motor Corporation in 1968, the Atlas resurfaced in India where Standard Motors of Chennai continued making it until 1980.

First registered in Gloucestershire on 5th January 1962, this charming period Camper Van belonged to Alvar Hemming of the same county a decade later. Subsequently passing through the hands of Ron Stanford and Michael Costigan, it joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection in 1995. Fitted with an 1147cc petrol engine, the Atlas was treated to a degree of bodywork restoration during the 1990s. Passing its most recent MOT test on 27th July 2016 with ‘no advisories’, the Camper Van attended that year’s Pageant of Power. Equipped with a sink, gas hob, bed and table etc, it will require recommissioning / renovation prior to use.

Chassis No: SKMY287161

‘It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no other tractor design in history that has contributed more to the feeding of the world’ (Michael Thorne, Massey Ferguson 35 and 65 Models in Detail) Launched at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on October 1st 1956, the Massey Ferguson 35 initially sported a Grey and Bronze colour scheme before switching to Grey and Red the following year. Available in agricultural, industrial or vineyard specifications, the newcomer replaced the redoubtable TE20. Introduced on November 8th 1962, the 35-X boasted increased engine outputs and a ‘multi-power’ system which enabled the driver to shift up or down a gear without using the clutch. Massey Ferguson’s Banner Lane factory despatched 388,382 35s of all types between 1956-1964.

A petrol/paraffin model, chassis SKMY287161 was first registered with the DVLA as ‘PAS 323’ on February 1st 2003. Part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since then (if not before), the Massey Ferguson appears to be scruffy but complete. A desirable model, this 35-X should hopefully prove a straightforward and rewarding project.

Chassis No: B706001124HS0

Notable as the last of the ‘Audax’ Gazelles, the Series VI was marketed from 1965-1967 during which time 14,842 were sold. The fastest and most comfortable variant, the newcomer was powered by a five-bearing crankshaft 1725cc OHV four-cylinder engine developing 62.5bhp and 98.5lbft. Wheel arch intrusion was minimised to the benefit of rear seat passengers and ‘no draught’ ventilators added to help cool those up front. Visually distinguished by a revised front grille treatment with Singer spelt out across the top and ‘1725’ badges to the front wings, the Series VI was reputedly capable of some 85mph and could be specified with overdrive or automatic transmission.

Finished in Holly Green with Willow Green strakes and Green upholstery, B706001124HSO was first registered in London as ‘JLK 299D’ on 13th January 1966. Migrating to Ramsbottom and the ownership of William Collier the following decade, the Singer joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 1978. Pleasingly retaining its original interior complete with a Brew Brothers Ltd sill plaque, the Gazelle shows 49,679 unwarranted miles to the odometer. Interestingly, the same mileage reading was shown when the 4/5-seater passed its most recent MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on 27th July 2016. Not run for years, it will require recommissioning / renovation.

Chassis No: 57105948

This is where ‘The Best 4x4 by Far’ started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm which drew inspiration from the wartime Jeep. Thanks to its ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the resultant 4x4 possessed incredible climbing capabilities in all conditions (including battlefields). Boasting a roomier cabin than its 80in predecessor, many consider the short-lived 86in (1954-1956) to be the best of the Series 1 Land Rovers.

Built during the 1955 model year but not issued with the Preston number plate ‘ECK 275D’ until 23rd November 1966, chassis 57105948 is believed to have spent its first eleven years in service with the British Armed Forces. Part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least the late 1970s when the DVLA computerised their ownership records, the Land Rover is thought to have been uprated with a later / more powerful engine at some stage if only because the accompanying V5C quotes the cubic capacity as 2286cc. The same document also lists no former keepers. Passing its most recent MOT test on 17th March 2011 at an indicated 52,306 miles with ‘no advisories’, the Series I has since deteriorated and as such will require recommissioning / restoration prior to use.

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Chassis No: AN5L44081

Intended as a spiritual successor to inexpensive pre-war sports cars such as the MG M-type or Austin 7 Nippy, the Austin-Healey Sprite was launched in May 1958. Powered by a twin-carburettor fed 948cc A-series four-cylinder engine developing some 43bhp and 52lbft of torque, it was capable of over 80mph. Credit for the Frogeye’s wonderful styling lies with both Gerry Coker and Les Ireland. Put on sale for just £669 including purchase tax rarely before or since has a sports car enjoyed such a large fun-to-price ratio.

In current ownership since 2007, this ‘Frogeye’ was originally assigned as an ‘export’ example and subsequently converted to RHD following its return to the UK from the United States c.2005. Self-evidently the subject of previous restoration work, it’s an older restoration that still presents well. Used in tours and events, this car was in attendance at the ‘Spridget 50’ - Birthday Party event at The Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, Warwickshire on 24th May 2008. Fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust and wire wheels (including the spare), the ‘Frogeye’ is offered with ‘full weather equipment’. It is accompanied by a current V5C registration document and a Heritage Certificate.

MOT: July 2025

Chassis No: SAJCC82R36TH05269

The Daimler Super Eight, based on Jaguar’s X350 platform, bridged the traditional and modern eras of the marque. The retro styling hid the 21st century technology: the body was of all-aluminium unitary construction and other features included sound-reducing glass. The supercharged 4.2-litre V-8 was mated to a six-speed auto gearbox. It was the final production model to be built at Browns Lane and the last Daimler model that will ever be made, making this rare example a future classic. The British government and UK Royal Household are among the small number of buyers: total production over five years was 731 cars.

Finished in Dark Blue complemented to a Cream leather interior with Caramel piping, ‘LF55 HTJ’ was previously registered in Southern Ireland and is understood to have arrived in the UK in mid 2012. The supercharged Super V8’s specification still includes the luxuries you’d expect, such as the Daimler 18” alloy wheels and inside, lamb’s wool carpets, boxwood inlays, electric front and rear seats, a touch-screen centre control unit, four-zone climate control, rear picnic tables and TV screens in the headrests. Having had just two former keepers recorded on HPI and displaying c.112,100kms, (c.69,610 miles) ‘LF55 HTJ’ is offered with a collection of old MOT certificates, numerous service invoices and a fresh MOT certificate.

The Jaguar book pack is present and includes the Service Record booklet with 10 stamps. 7 service stamps at main dealer Grange Jaguar, Brentwood, Essex on 27.9.99 at 10,349 miles; 15.11.2000 at 18,963 miles; 29.10.01 at 22,596 miles; 8.1.02 at 26,270 miles; 18.12.03 at 33,002 miles; 24.11.04 at 38,621 miles; 8.12.05 at 42,759 miles. A further 3 stamps were with independent specialist Glen Jags on 19.5.11 at 64,105 miles - with secondary timing chains and tensioners replaced; 6.8.14 at 73,289 miles; 19.5.18 at 73,689 miles. Many of the service receipts are to be found within the history file. Within the later invoices, a receipt on file from April 2018, shows new rear bumper brackets were fitted and preparation and paint to the edges of the wheel arches with undersealing the areas and underseal applied to sill cavities.

Offered with the original owners wallet, handbooks and service book, a large collection of invoices and notes, XK8 sales literature, old MOT certificate, and current V5C the Jaguar is now in need of recommissioning after a period of storage.

Reg No: 129 FUO

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: WMA23441812

This particular example benefits from being a De-Luxe variant. First registered on September 1st 1960, little is known of the early life of ‘129 FUO’, until it was purchased by a Malcolm John Sheas of Brixham in September 1993. Sheas would own the car for just shy of four years, before it was sold to the current owner on August 7th 1997, at that time showing just 79,070 miles on the odometer.

In October 2002, the car was subject to a long term restoration with Colin Groom, with photographs in the history file showing the car before, during and after completion.

This restoration lasted until at least February 2006, with photographs of the finished car presented in the attractive shade of Maroon with two-tone red and grey interior dated 2010.

Since its purchase, the car has been used sparingly and stored in a dry garage. To be exact, just 95 miles over the last 27 years. Now showing 79,165 miles on the odometer, the car still presents well, although would benefit from a recommissioning service. Offered for sale for somebody else to enjoy and due to the sad passing of the long term owner, this presents a rare opportunity to acquire a low miles, early model year Mini in a lovely colour combination. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello

61

1 of just 457 UK-supplied examples Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000* Reg No: R469 ESG

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: ZFFZR49C000110374

Ferrari’s 550 Maranello was introduced as a replacement for the F512 M in 1996 and found much acclaim during its five years of production. It featured a 484bhp front-mounted naturally-aspirated 5.5 litre V12 engine driving the rear wheels through a transaxle - the sixspeed manual gearbox being located at the rear for optimum weight distribution. Suspension was by double wishbone, coil springs and anti-roll bars all-round and the braking by ventilated discs front and rear. The Pininfarina designed all-alloy body was mounted on a tubular steel chassis. A pukka GT car out of the Daytona mould, it offered speeds of up to 199 mph coupled with the ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 4.3 seconds - the sort of performance figures that wouldn’t have disgraced an F1 car once upon a time. With a luxurious and roomy interior and a boot that accommodated at least a set of overnight bags (or a full set of golf clubs), this was the perfect car for dashing through Europe - Monte Carlo one weekend, Rome the next. It was replaced in 2001 by the 575M Maranello. Though not intended for use in motorsport, the 550 Maranello was nevertheless adopted for racing by a number of privateer teams, to good effect. 2003 was arguably the year of best results, with Prodrive winning the GTS class in the Le Mans 24-hour race and finishing second in the GTS class of the American Le Mans Series, and Scuderia Italia winning the FIA GT championship.

Finished in the handsome combination of Argento Nurburgring with Blu Scuro leather upholstery, this particular example – chassis 110374 – was supplied new by Glenvarigill Company Ltd, Ferrari of Edinburgh. First registered as ‘R469 ESG’ on 23rd January 1998, its odometer displays a modest 43,100 miles. Used for high-speed transcontinental touring, the 550 Maranello wears ‘Stratstone’ number plates front and rear (having sported the personalised number plate ‘R55 OUD’ for a while), the supercar benefited from a service and belt change two years ago. Riding on correct-type five-spoke alloy wheels, the Ferrari pleasingly retains its original owner’s wallet complete with handbooks and service book which contains stamps by the likes of Maranello Sales Ltd and DK Engineering Ltd. The UK market was allocated a mere 457 examples of the 550 Maranello not all of which have survived to the present day. Still a fantastically capable Grand Tourer (albeit one with near 200mph performance), the model is arguably more rewarding to drive than many of its successors due to the standard-fitment six-speed manual transmission. Inexpensive compared to the 275GTB/4 and Daytona from which it is descended, ‘R469 ESG’ is offered for sale with the aforementioned book pack, V5C Registration Document and assorted invoices.

1988 Austin Mini Custom Extensive Resto-Mod and subsequently featured in ‘Mini World’

62

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000* Reg No: E71 XNE MOT: July 2025 Chassis No: SAXXL2S1020366607 ‘E71 XNE’ was purchased by the (late) vendor in 1998, when he was just twelve years old, as the ideal (albeit rusty) basis for his Resto-Mod project. By 2001, the bodywork had been completely reworked into the current guise featuring a Mk2 Mini front end. The Mini was run for a few years with the 998cc engine before a 1275cc unit was substituted, and in 2004 the extensive mechanical works began with a bored-out 1460cc engine fitted with Cooper S block and head, both worked on by MED, and allied to a straight-cut dog box. The suspension setup is Hi-Los fitted with harder race-spec cones; Gaz 36-point adjustable dampers; polyurethane suspension bushes; with KAD alloy bushes mounting the subframes to the body. Adjustable tie-rods and bottom arms with a shortened top arm, and a KAD anti-roll bar, providing an effective race suspension setup. The brake system was extensively uprated with KAD four-pot alloy callipers with vented, grooved and drilled discs; KAD aluminium handbrake quadrants; Aeroquip hoses; with oversized wheel cylinders at the rear.

The interior upholstery is completely custom with Blue leather throughout, with a set of Mini HLE front seats with headrests, rear seats, and door cards with a diagonal split stitched to feature. A walnut dashboard with chrome finished dials, Clarion sound system and Blue-piped Black carpets complete the interior.

Rolling road set-up once completed, 149bhp was measured at 7,000rpm with strong lowdown torque. Once finished, the late vendor had transformed a rusty 998 Mini into an award winning, semi-race spec car for the road. Thereafter, further power was yearned for and ‘E71 XNE’ was provided with a nitrous upgrade kit to the make the Mini’s performance terrifyingly quick. In regular attendance at shows and events throughout the vendor’s custodianship, his sad untimely passing means that this Mini is now on offer to a new custodian and is supplied with a history file.

2008 Aston Martin DB9

63

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000* Reg No: T.B.A MOT: August 2024 Chassis No: SCFAC01A78GA10549 First shown by Aston Martin at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Available both in coupé and a convertible bodystyles, the latter being known as the Volante, the DB9 was the successor of the DB7 and was the first car to be built in Aston Martin’s new factory at Gaydon in Warwickshire. The new car was considered to be such an advance on the old that Aston Martin had decided a straightforward sequential numbering would be considered inappropriate, hence why it was not titled DB8. Its bodyshell weighed 25 per cent less yet had twice the torsional rigidity, thanks to its aluminium bonnet, roof and rear wings and composite construction front wings and boot lid. The vehicle was powered by the 5.9-litre V12 used in the Vanquish, which generated 450hp, propelled the car from 0 to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and generated a top speed of 186mph and offered outstanding performance. The DB9 was built for 12 years between 2004 and 2016 and was originally penned by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, two designers famous for the concept designs of the Escort Cosworth, RS200, BMW Z8, and many more.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL Current ownership for 50 years, UK-supplied and specialist restored

64

Estimate: £100,000 - £120,000* Reg No: T.B.A

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 113.04322-002139

Introduced at the March 1967 Geneva Salon, the 250SL was blessed with the same stunning, Paul Bracq styling as its 230SL predecessor. Powered by an enlarged sevenbearing crankshaft 2496cc SOHC straight-six engine that developed 150bhp / 159lbft, the newcomer could reputedly exceed 120mph. Suspension was independent all-round by double wishbones and coils springs at the front, and swing axle, radius arms and coil springs at the rear. Braking was by power-assisted discs and steering via recirculating ball.

Faster than the 230SL yet more agile than the later 280SL, the 250SL proved to be the rarest W113-series ‘Pagoda’ variant, accounting for a mere 5,196 sales worldwide (more than a third of which were exported to America). However, total RHD production across all markets has been estimated at just circa 500 cars. A cult classic, SLs have had countless celebrity owners from Charlton Heston to Kate Moss and starred in myriad films.

Factory finished in Silver Grey Metallic (DB180) with a Black (DB040) hardtop and matching hubcaps, chassis 113.04322-002139 was also specified with a soft-top roof, side-facing single rear seat, power steering and automatic transmission. First UK road registered on 22nd June 1967, the 250SL previously belonged to the famous Speedway rider Thomas Henry ‘Taffy’ Owen who had it de-seamed and colour changed to Cream by Portland Motors (MercedesBenz) of Manchester. Entering the current ownership on 11th July 1974, the 2+1-seater was subsequently driven overland to Malta where the vendor’s family had a villa. A failure to submit the proper paperwork saw the Roadster impounded by the Maltese authorities.

Determined to reclaim his property, the seller embarked upon, and won, a lengthy court battle. Arriving back in the UK during October 2013, the Mercedes-Benz was despatched to Pagoda specialist Paul Standley of Classic Preservation in Worcestershire the following April for an exhaustive, ground-up restoration. Stripped to a bare shell, any corrosion found was cut out and repaired with new metal (including remedying past jacking damage). The steering, suspension, brakes and fuel system were all attended to and the 250SL rewired. 120 hours was spent on refurbishing the hardtop alone! In all, the project accounted for well over 1,000 man hours not including either the labour expended by marque specialist Roger Edwards thoroughly overhauling the original engine and automatic transmission or Aldridge Trimming’s time for renewing the interior upholstery and soft-top roof.

The two lever arch files which accompany the car and document its refurbishment show that the odometer was displaying only 69,475 miles when work commenced. Given that

the Roadster was impounded in Malta for thirty-seven years we believe that this reading may well have represented the total covered from new. The instrument was zeroed as part of the rejuvenation which was completed in 2016 and has yet to record a further 300 miles. Kept busy by his business commitments, the seller has never got round to enjoying the Mercedes-Benz. Recommissioned earlier this year with a new battery, the 250SL has undertaken various local journeys but would doubtless benefit from a thorough service and fettling following what has effectively been an eight-year slumber. Currently in the process of being re-registered with the DVLA and hopefully retaining its distinctive former number plate – ‘TAF 32’ – the 2+1-seater is only coming to market for the first time in five decades because of the seller’s impending relocation overseas. Worthy of close inspection.

1989 Audi UR Quattro 2.2 Turbo RR 20V 1 of only 4 UK press cars and subject to recent full overhaul

65

Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000* Reg No: G690 GNV

MOT: April 2025

Chassis No: WAUZZZ85ZLA000083

The Audi Quattro may not have been the first four-wheel-drive production car (that honour belongs to the 1966 Jensen Interceptor FF), but its place in history is assured. Thanks in no small part to its enormous rallying success, the Quattro popularised all-wheel drive, and is now regarded as one of the most influential and important sports cars of the 1980s.

The brainchild of Jörg Bensinger, an Audi chassis engineer, development work was started in 1977. Three years later the finished product was released. Although the floorpan had much in common with the 80 and the running gear was largely taken from an Audi 200, the Quattro used a manual centre differential lock (operated by levers next to the handbrake) to govern the 197bhp and 210lbft delivered by the 2.1-litre in-line five-cylinder turbocharged engine. By the time this particular car arrived in 1989, the crude cable-operated 50:50 split differential had been replaced with a much more advanced Torsen (torque sensing) diff and the engine had been uprated with double overhead camshafts and a larger 2226cc capacity, upping power to 217bhp. Regarded by many as the best of the Quattros, the 20 Valve now represents a great potential investment opportunity, with this example offered in arguably the best and most iconic colour combination of Tornado Red over Grey.

One of a batch of four consecutively numbered Audi Quattro 20V press cars, ‘G690 GNV’ was first registered with its sister cars on 17th October 1989 and was featured in a comparison with a Lancia Delta Integrale in a late ‘80s motoring magazine. Little is known of the car’s history after its life in the glossy pages and it was sold into private ownership The first recorded owner was a Mr Tansley of Derby who had four predecessors and took possession on 12th October 1993. Having been through another owner after Mr Tansley, the Quattro was purchased by the vendor in 2017 starting to look rather sorry for itself and repainted from its original Tornado Red to Black. The vendor also found that the original RR 20V engine had long since departed following a catastrophic conrod failure. Having owned a number of Audi Quattros in his life, this simply wouldn’t do so he embarked upon an extensive cosmetic and mechanical overhaul over the next five years.

Quattros are notoriously difficult to get parts for, and a cracked windscreen and rear light unit were only sourced by buying a pair of donor Audi Coupés to pillage parts from, and then another RR 20V Quattro to pull the engine from. This painstaking (and expensive!) process meant that ‘G690 GNV’ was finally reunited with the proper type of power unit and was returned to its original, and very iconic, Tornado Red colour scheme. As with many Quattro owners, the vendor decided to uprate the car with some more modern

56

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

enhancements at this time and fitted an uprated Turbo Dynamics MD147KKK Turbo, 3 nozzle injectors and Scorpion Exhaust which means the car is estimated to generate around 300bhp. Of course, to put all that power onto the road the car was treated to a new clutch and the car’s brakes were also uprated, with the fitment of Brembo callipers on the front aiding stopping confidence quite considerably.

Upon inspection, the dazzling Tornado Red paint still looks very fresh and such details as the bolts for the wings were evidently removed and replaced which gives the impression that a lot of care was taken to get this car right. The vendor describes the body condition as ‘very good’ and pointed out that both front wings were replaced during the overhaul due to the original items being rather far past their sell by date. A turn of the key and the instantly recognisable sound of the potent five-cylinder power unit was ejected through the uprated exhausts and when driving us to the photography shoot location, the vendor described the mechanical condition as ‘very good’. We are also pleased to say that the original interior trim is intact and it is described as ‘good’ by the vendor.

Quattros are in high demand today and with good reason - with 23 world rally championship wins under their belt and having near enough defined what a true 80s and 90s drivers’ car should be, values continue to rise. If you are looking for a good example that can be used for the show circuit this summer, then one of the press cars should do you nicely!

Without further ado, “Fire up the Quattro!”

1933 Armstrong Siddeley 12hp Tourer

No Reserve* Reg No: DG 6007

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S16400

Introduced in October 1928, the Armstrong Siddeley 12hp was arguably the marque’s first model to target mass market sales. Powered by a sidevalve, six-cylinder 1236cc engine, the newcomer offered class competitive performance and was more refined than some four-cylinder rivals.

Retained by its first owner P.C. Newill until his death in 1961, he entrusted the Armstrong Siddeley’s maintenance to supplying dealer Bridge Garages Ltd of Cirencester throughout his tenure. Belonging to its second keeper for just two years, the 12hp was acquired by the vendor’s father, J.H.C. Turner, during December 1963. Treated to a thorough engine overhaul shortly thereafter, the Tourer has been regularly maintained over the past six decades. Inherited by the seller last year, he deems ‘DG 6007’ to be ‘a perfect candidate for the oily rag treatment’ on the basis that is in fair mechanical condition with sound bodywork and patinated paintwork. The interior trim is said to be in ‘fair’ order albeit the inflatable cushions have long since perished. Coming to market for the first time in sixty-one years, this charming 12hp is accompanied by an original maintenance manual, correspondence from the ASOC and Bridge Garages Ltd of Cirencester plus a February 28th 1930 copy of The Autocar.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: A209 KHP

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SALLBAAH1AA194320

The world-famous Land Rover was launched in 1948 and developed from a single offering to a family of long and short-wheelbase derivatives with an ever-increasing choice of engines. The Series III of 1971-1985 was the most numerous, with some 440,000 being produced. Outwardly it was almost identical to the IIA, but the gearbox now, thankfully, benefitted from synchromesh on all ratios, while the cab featured a more modern, moulded plastic facia.

A right-hand drive example, first registered on 18th January 1984, this Series III is fitted with the 2.25 litre four-cylinder petrol engine with four-speed manual gearbox. With c.63,451 miles recorded and 6 former keepers, it has been fitted with a galvanised chassis (painted Black for a ‘period’ finish) and the exterior repainted in desirable Pastel Green over Limestone wheels to a high standard. The canvas tilt is said to be in ‘Very Good’ condition. The Series III will soon be exempt from road tax, MOT testing and ULEZ. The last three MOT tests were passed without advisories. We’re informed that it ‘runs’ and ‘drives’ well and ‘A209 KHP’ is offered with a V5C Registration Document.

1972 Ford Cortina Estate

69

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Chassis No: 1Z37X7S430155

The third-generation Corvette (C3) came to market in 1968 and was continually developed until the all-new C4 model of 1984. While the engine and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2, the interior and most striking of bodies were all new. The exterior design was a development of that penned by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of Bill Mitchell for the Mako Shark II concept car.

Chassis 430155 was manufactured in 1977, making it a final production year model for small rear window cars, and it was supplied new to the United States of America. Specified with the rare L82 option of the top power, 350 cubic-inch engine, which produced 225hp, the Corvette is finished in White paintwork with a complementary Blue leather interior.

Imported into the United Kingdom in 2022 and registered ‘UAL 695R’, the C3 received a full repaint shortly after its arrival. Further enhanced mechanically, the C3 has received a new radiator and hoses, belts, water pump, fuel pump, and master cylinder, as well as attention to the power steering and brakes. The vendor notes the headlamps work as intended and the Corvette has good oil pressure. He further rates the Chevrolet as ‘excellent’ in regard to bodywork and paintwork, ‘very good’ regarding the engine, electrical equipment and gearbox, and as having ‘good’ interior trim.

Reg No: LLH 705K

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: BABNMR13489

Introduced in 1970, the Cortina Mk3 was a departure from its predecessors in many ways.

It featured a modern, aerodynamic design with a distinctive coke-bottle shape, a departure from the boxier styling of previous models. The Mk3 was longer, wider, and more spacious than its predecessors, offering increased interior room and comfort for passengers. One of the most significant advancements in the Mk3 Cortina was its suspension system. Ford replaced the Mk2s cart sprung rear axle with one located by trailing arms, improving ride quality, handling, and overall stability. This innovation set the Mk3 Cortina apart from its competitors and contributed to its reputation as a capable and enjoyable car to drive.

Finished in striking Yellow with Brown vinyl interior ‘LLH 705’ was first registered on the 8th Match 1972 and displays c.60,000 credible miles on the odometer. This Mk3 iteration of the beloved Cortina, has just 4 former keepers recorded on HPI. A rare survivor, particularly being an Estate variant, as many would have seen duties taking families on holiday or countrywide haulers for reps and their samples. It is being offered with a collection of invoices, workshop manuals and a current V5C document.

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GV5173541

Introduced in 1947, the A40 was Austin’s first ‘clean sheet’ post-WW2 family saloon design. Based on a sturdy chassis frame equipped with independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 1200cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. With some 40bhp on tap, it was reputedly capable of over 70 mph. Once production was in full swing and the principal Devon (four-door) and Dorset (two-door) saloon models firmly established, other variants joined the A40 line-up including a Jensen-designed sports four-seater, 10cwt pick-up, 10cwt van and estate car (or ‘Countryman’ as it was known). Styled in-house by Dick Burzi, the commercial A40s contrived to be stylish yet practical. Though, today - thanks to years of overloading, stop-start motoring and general abuse - survivors are few and far between.

First registered in Swansea on 19th April 1956 (or so its ‘NCY 961’ number plate would imply), chassis GV5173541 has been part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least the late 1970s when the DVLA computerised their records. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Austin’s odometer shows 33,552 unwarranted miles. Passing its most recent MOT test on 15th May 2012, the A40 Countryman is now in need of recommissioning / renovation.

Reg No: PAS 322

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TE14618

Introduced in 1946, the Ferguson TE20 (Tractor England, 20 horsepower) popularised Harry Ferguson’s ingenious hydraulic three-point hitch system around the globe.

Endearingly nicknamed the Little Grey Fergie, the usefully compact and lightweight design was manufactured for Ferguson by the Standard Motor Company, and a form of the wet liner engine they developed for it was adopted for the Vanguard and other Standard cars.

The engine could be tuned to run on either petrol or what was known as tractor vaporising oil, or petrol/paraffin. Some 517,651 examples of the TE20 are said to have been produced

by Standard’s factory in Banner Lane, Coventry, some sixty-six percent of which were exported.

Part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least 2003 when the earliest of its accompanying V5C Registration Documents was issued showing no former keepers, chassis TE14618 has self-evidently been the subject of past restoration work. Proudly sporting front and rear spot lamps for nocturnal duties, it has thought to have last seen road use during 2007. Somewhat careworn in appearance, it will require a degree of recommissioning / renovation.

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 7308210

The British saloon car market was keenly fought during the 1950s and 1960s making regular updates a must if manufacturers wanted to maintain, let alone increase, market share. Arriving in August 1963, the Series V version of Singer’s respected Gazelle was revised both mechanically and cosmetically. Losing the wraparound rear windscreen of its predecessors, the newcomer also gained longer aft doors. The adoption of front brake discs improved stopping power, while 1964 brought a new four-speed manual gearbox.

Overdrive and automatic transmission remained options with the 4/5-seater’s 1592cc OHV four-cylinder engine developing some 53bhp / 87lbft and enabling an 82mph top speed.

Finished in Smoke Green over Sage Green with Green upholstery, chassis 7308210 was first registered in Middlesex on 11th May 1964 (or so its ‘GMH 509B’ number plate would imply). Purchased by M. Ferley and S. Dowding of Chatteris some twenty-two years later, the Singer joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 1998. Pleasingly retaining its original interior, the Gazelle shows an unwarranted 30,836 miles to the odometer. Off the road for decades, ‘GMH 509B’ is now in need of recommissioning / restoration. The air filter is detached and a spare rear number plate plinth is included in the sale.

Chassis No: 1A35415BW

Introduced in 1966, the Daimler Sovereign was a more luxurious version of the contemporaneous Jaguar 420. Differentiated from its sibling by means of a fluted radiator grille and better standard equipment, it otherwise shared the same monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, servo-assisted disc brakes and a detuned version (245bhp vs. 265bhp) of the Jaguar MKX’s 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine. In many ways a testbed for the forthcoming Jaguar XJ6’s styling and mechanical layout, the Daimler Sovereign remained in production until 1969 by which time some 5,829 left- and right-hand drive examples are thought to have been made. Among the rarest of the Browns Lane-designed Daimlers, the Sovereign is a highly underrated motorcar combining as it does an elegant 1960s design with surprisingly modern road manners.

First registered in Burnley on 11th June 1969 (or so its ‘LCW 930G’ number plate would imply), chassis 1A35415BW has been part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least 1977 showing no former keepers on its accompanying V5C. Finished in Brown and pleasingly retaining its original Tan leather upholstery, the Daimler is believed but not warranted to have covered 62,300 miles from new. Not started in some time, it will require recommissioning / refurbishment prior to use.

Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow-moving traffic).

First registered on December 1st 2006, ‘MC56 CHO’ was supplied new by Bentley Birmingham in the very attractive colour scheme of Metallic Grey with Red leather upholstery, a matching mohair hood and Black wheels. Having passed through four previous keepers, the owner acquired the Bentley in 2021 and has cherished it, completing a number of long distance Continental trips during his ownership. In the original service book, there are eight main Bentley dealer service stamps up to 13th September 2013 at 10,394 miles, and then a further six stamps with Bentley specialists, with the most recent being with RR&B Garages of Bromsgrove at 34,504 miles in June 2023. The odometer now displays 36,909 miles. The vendor informs us that the Bentley is in overall ‘very good’ condition with the paintwork appearing very clean and it is hard to notice any serious imperfections. The interior is also in ‘very good’ order with the leather and carpets appearing very fresh. The vendor decided during his ownership to fit a newer infotainment system with Bluetooth to make it more user friendly, but is supplying the original item with the car.

Now offered for sale at an attractive guide price, this presents a fantastic opportunity to own an impressive luxury Bentley for reasonable outlay.

2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

75

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000* Reg No: X847 WVK MOT: February 2025 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z1S641006 Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: “This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner.

Not a convert before, completely converted after!”

Traditionalists may have decried the 996’s watercooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer’s use of a brand-new platform (the 911’s first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996’s 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS’s 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either a sixspeed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996’s cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system.

Finished in Dark Blue and riding on 18” Sport Design Alloy Wheels ‘X847 WVK’ has recorded c.103,000 miles from 6 former keepers. Powered by a flat-six 3.4-litre engine mated to a Tiptronic gearbox the Porsche is offered with its owners wallet, handbook and service book plus current V5C document.

No Reserve* Chassis No: WDB1232802F056422

Introduced in 1975, Mercedes-Benz’s W123 series cars perpetuated the marque’s enviable reputation for engineering integrity. Well-built with a sense of solidity missing from today’s model range, the W123 cars featured all round independent coil sprung suspension, disc brakes and power steering. Devoid of exterior plastic trim and regarded by some as the last of the ‘chrome era’ Mercedes, W123s have begun to attract a cult following. Powered by a 1997cc four-cylinder engine producing some 108bhp and 125lbft of torque and equipped with either manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the 200 models were reputedly capable of 104mph and 0-60mph in 14.4 seconds.

Built to order number 0553757357 for the UK market, chassis WDB1232802F056422 left the factory finished in Light Ivory with Palomino cloth upholstery. Fitted with a mechanical sliding roof, springs for increased payload and daytime running lights when new the Mercedes-Benz was first UK registered on the 4th May 1985. A late example of the W123 series of cars produced, ‘C2 CAJ’ displays some 90,500 credible miles on the odometer. Powered by the 1997cc four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a manual gearbox the Mercedes-Benz is being offered with a collection of invoices and the current V5C Registration Document.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: KWE 690D

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B325000551HH0

Over its twenty-one year reign, the Rapier progressed through two generations, the swansong of the initial ‘Audax’ cars being the Series V introduced in 1965. Though visually almost identical to its predecessor, it was notable for its larger, five-bearing 1725cc engine.

Just 3,759 Series Vs were built, making it the rarest of all versions of the model.

Manufactured in 1966, the Series V Rapier offered was supplied new to Maria Eunice Cheslyn Healey of Sheffield, being first road registered on 23rd February that year. Finished in Light Blue with a White roof, the Sunbeam features complementary Light Blue interior upholstery and carpets. Covering minimal mileage throughout its various ownerships, the Rapier is now offered to market showing just shy of 56,000 miles from new on the odometer. Purchased by the vendor’s late father in 2018, the Sunbeam has been used occasionally, and started readily and ran well during the recent photography session, with the vendor noting that ‘KWE 690D’ drives very well. Although the overdrive is not currently working (believed due to an unconfirmed wiring/solenoid issue). Offered with a large history file that contains numerous MOTs dating back to 1970, the buff logbook, various invoices, workshop manual, sales literature, and current V5C document. Temptingly offered without reserve, this ‘matching chassis and engine numbers’ Rapier is a usable low mileage example.

Reg No: SV 6402

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: M-1027

Chassis KC52273 was supplied new through T. Hawkins & Sons of Epsom to a local resident and first registered on March 1st 1969. Finished in Conifer Green paintwork from the factory, with Black interior upholstery and a wooden dashboard, ‘XPD 376G’ was retained by its first owner for four years. Thereafter, the vendor became its second keeper part-exchanging a Triumph Toledo with Dolphin Square Garage in London SW1 to acquire the low (23,000) mileage Coupe. Retained by the seller ever since, the GT6 has journeyed all across the United Kingdom as well as living in Hørsholm, Denmark for a time. The Triumph has been always garaged other than while in Denmark, where the GT6 resided under a carport.

Built as a Carbodies two-seat Tourer and issued with the Surrey number plate ‘PG 6464’ on 28th February 1930, an accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that chassis 2/M-1027 was registered to the famous Hampstead dealership Rowland Smith Ltd some twenty-six years later. Sold into private hands during 1957, the MG spent eleven years as a New Zealand resident before being repatriated in 1987 and re-registered as ‘SV 6402’. Fitted with a close-ratio, four-speed Moss gearbox at some stage, the M-Type was acquired by previous keeper Mr Glister during 2000. Significantly uprated for competition usage in 2008, the engine boasts a Phoenix crankshaft, full race camshaft, Brooklandsstyle exhaust, Cosworth pistons / conrods and oversized inlet valves.

With a genuine 98,400 miles, the GT6 has been maintained professionally with a focus on preserving its originality. Most recent work has comprised a full service. Supplied with a large history file that documents recent works and contains the original handbook and service book; a significant collection of MOT certificates back to 1981, there’s a current ‘no advisory’ MOT certificate until March next year, a vast selection of invoices; workshop manual; and a current V5C document. Accompanied by a spares package, GT6s with just two owners from new are surely few and far between!

Used for a number of competitive VSCC events, the MG was treated to almost £9,000 worth of mechanical and cosmetic work by Yorkshire Restorations in 2023. Entering the current ownership that same year, the vendor’s plans to go racing have been thwarted by ill health. Offered with a stack of paperwork relating to its competition usage, bills dating back to 2000 plus the continuation buff log book and original brass chassis plate, it is described by the seller as being in ‘very good to excellent’ condition throughout.

1958 Jaguar XK150SE 3.4 Litre Drophead Coupe

80

1 of just 623 RHD examples Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000* Reg No: XDA 280

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S827170DN

The final iteration of the XK sportscar line and the last Jaguar to carry a separate chassis, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a ‘live’ leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few - if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes).

Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. The dashboard too was altered eschewing wood trim for padded leather. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it.

Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque’s race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. More expensive than the other bodystyles, the soft-top coupe boasted occasional rear seats and a fully lined hood. Ticking the ‘Special Equipment’ box on the order form resulted in the following upgrades: B-type cylinder head, overdrive, twinexhaust system and wire wheels. With a claimed 210hp on tap, the ‘SE’ 3.4 Litre cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and 124mph. Total right-hand drive XK150 Drophead Coupe production is thought to have amounted to just 663 cars (for both 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre variants). Unsurprisingly, survivors are highly prized by collectors.

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis S827170DN was built on 16th July 1958 as a desirable Special Equipment model complete with overdrive.

Factory finished in the handsome combination of Cornish Grey with Red leather upholstery, the Jaguar was despatched to distributor Charles Attwood of Wolverhampton the following month. First road registered as ‘XDA 280’ in the same city, the XK150 was supplied new to local resident J.D. Smith Esq. Taken off the road at some stage, the Drophead Coupe was classified as a ‘barn find’ when the vendor bought it from the Classic Car Lab of Leeds in 2014. Subsequently treated to an extensive five-year restoration with attention paid to its bodywork, paintwork, chassis, engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and brightwork, the Jaguar boasts such niceties as a high capacity alloy radiator and Kenlowe fan. Entrusted to renowned Jaguar XK specialist Guy Broad in 2019-2020, the 2+2-seater benefited from additional brake and suspension 66

work (polybushing) etc. Sparingly used save for several runs to North Wales since its refurbishment was completed, ‘XDA 280’ remains highly presentable. Most recently maintained by classic car and MG SA / VA / WA specialist, SVW Ltd of Worcester, they have further refined the Drophead Coupe. A ‘home market’ car that pleasingly retains its original 3.4 litre engine, this decidedly handsome Jaguar is worthy of close inspection.

Offered for sale with continuation green logbook, V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, restoration photos and numerous invoices etc.

No Reserve* Chassis No: CR/58450

First registered in January 1974, it is understood that ‘WTE 864M’ was initially finished in Dark Blue with Black upholstery. Little is known of the Triumph’s history until the early 1980s when the then owner gave it a cosmetic overhaul and fitted an exchange speedometer at 67,036 recorded miles. Purchased by Mr B Laycock, the vendor’s late husband, in 1997, the TR6 was used sparingly, but cherished by him for many years. Mr Laycock was an engineer by profession, so maintained the TR6 himself, servicing it every year and keeping every associated receipt. He loved the car so much, that between 2009 and 2011, he entrusted it to Quiller Triumph for an extensive body-off mechanical and cosmetic overhaul, with the bill totalling £12,009.45. Of course, the work did not stop there and there are further invoices on file for ongoing maintenance until Mr Laycock’s passing in 2023. Although, they doubt that there can be many better maintained TR6s out there, his family nonetheless suggest that ‘WTE 864M’ is checked over prior to use. Offered with two suitcases full of everything from MOT certificates, to tax discs, to TR6 advertising literature, to the extensive amount of invoices on file, this could be a fabulous car to enjoy this summer.

Chassis No: WDB1240662C202965

Introduced in 1986, the W124-series was arguably the last Mercedes-Benz model range to have its design parameters laid down by engineers rather than accountants. Re-branded ‘E-class’ in 1993, the mid-size contender could be had in saloon, coupe, estate and cabriolet guises remaining the class benchmark throughout its nine-year European production life. Powered by a 3199cc DOHC 24-valve (216bhp/229lbft) straight-six engine allied to automatic transmission, the E320 Cabriolet was admirably refined but nonetheless capable of 0-60mph in eight seconds and 140mph.

Built to order number 0453750530 for the UK market, chassis WDB1240662C202965 left the factory finished in the handsome combination of Tourmaline Green metallic with Beige leather upholstery and a Black soft-top. A desirable Sportline model, its specification also included airconditioning, sports chassis, 8-hole alloy wheels, heated front seats and headlamp wash/wipe.

Entering the current (seventh) ownership during 2019, the Mercedes-Benz is said to have proven ‘totally reliable’ whilst undertaking tour-type rallies all around the UK and Europe (its most recent being a two-week sortie to Norway). Marque specialist serviced earlier this month and wearing its 145,000 miles well, this appealing E320 Cabriolet is MOT’d until December and a reluctant sale due to downsizing.

Chassis No: GAN6202499G

The Ford 5000 was produced from 1964 to 1975 by Ford and was well known for its Blue and White livery. It was a mid-range tractor, suitable for European farms. The North American version was slightly different and was named the Ford Major. The Ford 5000 sold exceptionally well in Great Britain and replaced the long-running Fordson Major which was a worldwide hit. It sold especially well because it slotted into the mid-sized range, which catered for almost every British farmer and was in the top ten best-selling list of tractors sold in Great Britain until 2005.

Manufactured in 1977, the Midget offered was despatched on 2nd December that year to main agents Lookers Limited of Manchester, being registered new in early 1978. Finished from the factory in Tahiti Blue paintwork, the MG was also specified with Rosytle wheels and features Black interior trim, a Black hood, and Black tonneau cover. Passing through five keepers during the first ten years of its life before being purchased by the vendor in 1988, the MG had some 43,000 miles on the odometer. The Midget is now only coming to sale due to ill health and has now covered a mere 74,500 miles from new.

In current ownership since 2000, the owner purchased ‘DFU 23L’ in order to maintain his private small-holding however it proved very popular with young family members who wanted to ride aboard the Ford on family visits. Displaying 6911/4 hours of use and showing just 3 former keepers on HPI, the Ford 5000 has previously been serviced by an agricultural engineer. It is being offered with the current V5C Registration Document and was running and driving well upon our inspection

Improved throughout the vendor’s custodianship, ‘VVU 175S’ has received an engine overhaul that included an unleaded cylinder head, Kenlowe fan, fuel pump and water pump, as well as replacement brake and clutch master cylinders and slave cylinder. Further enhanced with new stub axle assemblies, wishbone pans, drop links and rear leaf springs, the MG has also received a brake overhaul. Garaged throughout the vendor’s ownership, the MG features a stainless-steel exhaust and is accompanied by a spares package. Offered with a good history file that comprises a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a large collection of MOTs back to 1986, previous invoices, handbook, tax discs, and a current V5C document. Temptingly offered without reserve, the MG is offered from long-term ownership and with modest mileage.

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 69837

Introduced at the 1934 Olympia Motor Show, the 17hp was available in three wheelbase lengths to cater for the needs of the sporting motorist, owner-driver and carriage trade alike. Based around a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 2394cc OHV six-cylinder engine allied to four-speed Wilson pre-selector transmission.

Credited with developing some 70hp @ 3,300rpm, it was reputedly capable of circa 70mph. Remaining in production until 1939, just 4,260 17hp cars are thought to have been made. However, survivors are decidedly scarce.

First registered in Cheshire on 11th February 1937 (or so its ‘DMB 325’ number plate would imply), chassis 69837 belonged to Chester resident Edwin Farrall prior to entering the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 1984. Wearing six-light coachwork by Burlington, Armstrong Siddeley’s in-house coachbuilder, the 17hp appears to retain its original upholstery as well as sporting a sunroof and fold-down division. The odometer shows an unwanted (1)07,335 miles and a period EKCO radio is fitted. An equal in quality terms to an Alvis or Rolls-Royce of the same era, this understated Armstrong-Siddeley is now in need of recommissioning / restoration.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: VTF 225

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 399899

Introduced in 1946, the Ferguson TE20 (Tractor England, 20 horsepower) popularised Harry Ferguson’s ingenious hydraulic three-point hitch system around the globe.

Endearingly nicknamed the Little Grey Fergie, the usefully compact and lightweight design was manufactured for Ferguson by the Standard Motor Company, and a form of the wet liner engine they developed for it was adopted for the Vanguard and other Standard cars.

The engine could be tuned to run on either petrol or what was known as tractor vaporising oil, or petrol/paraffin. 517,651 examples of the TE20 are said to have been produced

by Standard’s factory in Banner Lane, Coventry, some sixty-six percent of which were exported.

Part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least the late 1970s when the DVLA computerised their records, this particular example sports a rare Scottish Aviation Ltd cab. Designed to be removed and fitted single-handed, the lightweight structure was predominantly made from aluminium (said to have been salvaged from recycled Supermarine Spitfires). Featuring a distinctive, ‘streamliner’ roof, the Scottish Aviation Ltd cab was somewhat more stylish than rival offerings. Not run for some time, the Little Grey Fergie will require recommissioning / renovation prior to use.

Chassis No: A7600069

It must have been quite a feeling for Billy Rootes (by then Sir William Rootes) to rescue the company at which he had serviced an apprenticeship – Singer Motors Ltd – from bankruptcy in December 1955. The first Rootes Group Singer model, the Gazelle, was derived from its ‘Audax’ platform and debuted the following September. A ‘three box’ monocoque bodyshell styled by the celebrated American Raymon Loewy, it underpinned the Sunbeam Rapier, Hillman Minx and Singer Gazelle. Featuring independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four wheel drum brakes, it was initially differentiated in Singer guise by the use of the Coventry marque’s proven 1.5 litre SOHC four-cylinder engine.

Notable as only the 69th Singer Gazelle Series I to be manufactured, chassis A7600069 was first registered in Bolton (or so its ‘RBN 833’ number plate would imply). Strangely, the accompanying old-style V5 gives the date of first registration as 12th May 1960. Acquired

by Maksood Talati of Bolton in March 1982, the 4/5-seater entered the late Mr Lucas’s collection seventeen years later. Passing its most recent MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on 17th August 2012 at an indicated 56,495 miles (less than 200 miles ago), this historic Singer is now in need of recommissioning / renovation.

“The modern Singer, with its long, alligator bonnet and deep leather-upholstered seats, its polished wood dash and very complete equipment, imparts an air of solidity and luxury” (Motor Sport magazine).

Introduced in 1954, the Singer Hunter sported revised sheetmetal complete with a prominent chrome radiator grille and horse’s head mascot but otherwise utilised much the same body-on-frame construction, independent front suspension, 1.5 litre SOHC fourcylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as its SM1500 predecessor. Hampered

by Singer’s perilous financial position even the addition of a pared back ‘S’ model and the promise of a ‘twin cam’ variant could not save the Hunter. Phased out after the Rootes Group’s takeover, just 4,700 were made.

First registered in Surrey on 16th April 1956 (or so its ‘136 APH’ number plate would imply), chassis H3524Z belonged to Michael Jones of Brentwood by 1981. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection the following year, the Singer pleasingly retains a highly original interior and shows an unwarranted 35,316 miles to its odometer. Seemingly last on the road in 2015, this rare surviving Hunter is now in need of recommissioning / renovation.

Reputedly supplied new to a USAF officer stationed in the UK but to left-hand drive, automatic specification, chassis 793236BW was shipped across The Pond a month or so later. An article in the May/June 2014 issue of Jaguar Journal recounts how the widow of a previous keeper planned to make it roadworthy but lost heart. Her successor extensively recommissioned the saloon with work to the brakes and carburettors plus some tidying to dashboard and leather. The Jaguar was found to be highly original even down to its Cotswold Blue paint (or the majority thereof). In December 2012, the daughter of the then US owner asked if she could borrow the MKIX for her upcoming nuptials in the UK. Recrossing The Atlantic for the happy day some two years later, the saloon has been in the vendor’s possession ever since. Regularly serviced and used to ferry a few more brides, the Jaguar is deemed to be ‘mechanically sound’ with ‘very good’ bodywork. The front seat squab is ripped but otherwise the upholstery has survived remarkably well. Recent work has comprised a power steering overhaul and the fitment of fresh cross-ply tyres. ‘Grace, Pace and Space’ only being offered for sale in an attempt to rationalise the vendor’s collection.

Powered by a 1997cc four-cylinder engine producing some 108bhp and 125lbft of torque and equipped with either manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the 200 models were reputedly capable of 104mph and 0-60mph in 14.4 seconds.

Built to order number 0253783102 for the UK market, chassis WDB12322022084221 left the factory finished in Orient Red with Beige upholstery. Fitted with power steering, automatic transmission, Zebrano wood trim, lockable glovebox and heat insulating glass, the Mercedes-Benz was first UK registered as ‘DYB 19X’ on 17th May 1982. As well as describing the 200 Saloon as ‘the best W123 I have ever driven’, the vendor rates its engine, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork as ‘very good overall’. Showing a credible 82,500 miles to its odometer, this well-preserved Mercedes-Benz is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Kenwood face-off stereo and sundry paperwork. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

1953 MG TD In current family ownership for almost 50 years

93

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000* Reg No: JKW 4 Chassis No: TD/27364

MOT: Exempt

Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model, thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque.

Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg.

A desirable ‘home market’ example to ‘TD2’ specification, chassis ‘TD/27364’ was completed on 4th May 1953. Road registered as ‘JKW 4’ eight days later, the two-seater is believed to have been supplied new to a Mr Peter Friedlander of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, who owned the car through to 1975. Then purchased by the vendor’s late father in 1975, the MG was used only for ‘Sunday best’ and shows, sharing its garage space over the years with a couple of J2 Midgets, and a TA Tickford.

Covering minimal mileage throughout the current family ownership, since the passing of the vendor’s father, her husband has maintained and very lightly used the TD, until he sadly passed away in 2023. Displaying an incredibly low believed genuine but unwarranted 4,642 miles on its odometer, only approximately 1,500 miles have been covered in the hands of the vendor’s family.

‘JKW 4’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session, but will require recommissioning following the gentle use, and specifically attention to the brakes. Finished in Ivory and trimmed in Red with contrasting Black weather equipment (hood, tonneau, and sidescreens – all of which are showing their age), the two-seater had the carburettors professionally refurbished two years ago and a new master cylinder renewed in the last few years too. Offered for sale with a history file that includes a selection of previous invoices, the buff logbook, a couple of previous MOTs, and a current V5C document.

1959 Ford Zephyr Mk II Saloon Surely one of, if not, the best example extant!

94

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000* Reg No: 412 XUG MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 206ESU219078 Manufactured in 1959, this Zephyr was supplied new to South Africa and is finished in the highly complementary colour scheme of two-tone Pacific Blue and Ermine White paintwork with a complementary TwoTone Grey leather upholstery and Blue carpeting. Arriving in the United Kingdom from South Africa in 2007, the Zephyr had three keepers before entering the ownership of the vendor in 2017. A highly skilled classic car mechanic, the vendor thereafter provided ‘SU219078’ with an exhaustive three-year restoration, despite noting that the Zephyr was a presentable and solid example to start with, which reached completion in 2020.

Every area of the car was restored, overhauled, or refreshed with some of the restoration work completed comprising small welding repairs before fastidious preparation of the bodywork and attention to the panel gaps (with the doors re-pinned and strikers re-done) before a bare metal repaint; a full engine overhaul with the block acid dipped; gearbox, brakes, suspension, and steering overhauls; extensive sound deadening; full interior reupholstery; extensive re-chroming and re-polishing of the stainless-steel work; new white-wall tyres, and many new parts throughout. Completing less than 3,000 miles since the restoration’s completion, the Zephyr has attended numerous shows as well as touring the Lakes and Scarborough.

Maintained fastidiously since, the only main deviation from factory specification is fitment of an electronic ignition, with the Zephyr offered now unsurprisingly rated as ‘excellent’ throughout. Featuring the factory options of colour coded steering wheel, spot lamp and sun-visor, the Zephyr is supplied with a history file that includes a full photographic record of the restoration work. Starting readily and running excellently during the recent photography session, ‘412 XUG’ is surely one of, if not, the best examples extant and not to be missed!

2000 Porsche 911 GT3 The only RHD example finished in Islande Blu

95

Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000* Reg No: W518 RKS

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99ZYS691230

Like the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7 before it, the 911 (996) GT3 was a homologation special built so that Porsche could go racing; specifically in the FIA GT3 Cup Series.

Given the Stuttgart marque’s commitment to motorsport and the 911’s sixty plus years of production, it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a more successful sportscar-cumracer. Designed to maximise Porsche’s chances of victory, the 996 GT3 was powered by a 3.6 litre DOHC ‘Mezger’ engine. Capable of revving to 7,800rpm and developing 360bhp / 370Nm, the dry-sumped M96/79 flat-six shared its crankcase with the Le Mans-winning GT1. Further benefiting from forged pistons and titanium conrods, it was allied to the G96/90 six-speed manual gearbox (as previously proven aboard the 993 GT2). Riding on lightweight, spilt-rim alloys, the homologation special also boasted uprated suspension and more potent brakes.

Weighing just 1,350kg, the two-seater was capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 188mph. Never intended to be faster than its 996 Turbo sibling, the GT3 was a far more involving steer. Crowned Evo magazine’s ‘Car of the Year’ in 1999, the same publication subsequently placed the 996 GT3 Mk 1 above the Mk 2 for driving pleasure, ranking it third in the all-time drivers’ car roster behind the Pagani Zonda and Lotus 340R. In terms of its original design brief, the racing version of the 996 GT3 MK 1 took a dominant class win first time out which just so happened to be at the 1999 Le Mans 24 hours! The rarest, purest and lightest of the GT3s as well as the first, total 996 GT3 Mk 1 production amounted to 1,886 cars of which a mere 106 were UK supplied.

Supplied new via AFN Reading on March 1st 2000, chassis 691230 is understood to be the sole C16 (UK) car to have been finished in Islande Blu. A ‘Paint to Sample’ (L999) car, its impressive build specification also encompassed a rear roll cage, bucket seats, airconditioning and the extended leather pack, while carbonfibre adorned its centre console, instrument surround and seat backs. Serviced no fewer than sixteen times up to 46,391 miles, the Porsche has since covered less than 1,500 miles. Acquired by its last registered keeper in 2018, that same year saw the homologation special treated to new brake discs and pads all round at a cost of £2,233.34. A ‘1 of 1’ Porsche 996 GT3 Mk 1 with modest mileage and a host of desirable factory-fitted options, modern classics rarely come with a better pedigree. Offered for sale with original book pack (handbooks, service book), V5C Registration Document and collection of invoices, ‘W518 RKS’ is surely a must for the Porsche collector?

1964 Land Rover Series IIA 88in Entered from the David Lucas Collection - No Reserve

96

No Reserve* Reg No: SFM 443K

97

Entered from the David Lucas Collection - No Reserve MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 24118646B

A sympathetic update of its much-loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. Featuring sill panels and a rounded wing/belt line, the newcomer’s sleeker sheet metal was the work of David Bache and clothed an improved chassis.

Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Series Land Rover ever made.

Built during 1964 but not issued with the Chester registration number ‘SFM 443K’ until 25th February 1972, chassis 24118646B still bears the dashboard plaque which attests to its military service (under identity number ’63 EN 50’). Acquired by Jonathan Harrison of Chester during 1977, the Land Rover joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection five years later.

Used for a variety of farm duties since its last tax disc expired in May 1984, the Series IIA has suffered corrosion to its chassis and bulkhead such that the driver’s door no longer fits properly. The aluminium bodywork and fibreglass cab appear to have fared much better with the former being notably straight. A non-runner in need of total restoration, it nonetheless possess a certain appeal.

1929 Armstrong Siddeley 15hp Coachbuilt Saloon

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

No Reserve* Reg No: GE 3829

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AS62366

Introduced in October 1927, the Armstrong-Siddeley 15hp was the marque’s most affordable six-cylinder model. Boasting four bearings for both its crankshaft and camshaft, the newcomer’s 1928cc sidevalve engine also featured a detachable cylinder head which facilitated ‘decoking’. Aimed at the ‘owner driver’ market, the 15hp could be had with a range of open and closed bodystyles, the majority of which were supplied by Armstrong-Siddeley’s inhouse coachbuilder, Burlington. Gaining a higher rear axle ratio and revised rear suspension from April 1928, it was reputedly capable of pulling from 5mph to 50mph in top gear. Progressively developed, some 7,203 15hp cars are thought to have been made by the time production ceased in 1934.

First registered in Glasgow on 24th February 1929 (or so its ‘GE 3829’ number plate would imply), chassis AS62366 belonged to Alan Scholes of Bury by the late 1970s. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection some thirty-four years ago, the Armstrong-Siddeley still sports a dashboard plaque commemorating its participation in the Lancashire Automobile Club’s Daily Telegraph-sponsored 1957 Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage car run. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Coachbuilt Saloon has since been stored in a leaking barn and deteriorated accordingly. A rare survivor and a worthwhile project.

1965 Morris Mini MKI Rally Car Entered from the David Lucas Collection - No Reserve

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 207311

Inspired by the Simplicity Manufacturing Co’s compact tractor designs which it had imported from Wisconsin during the late 1930s, the British Motor Boats (or B.M.B.) concern devised a similarly diminutive machine aimed at the ‘market garden’ and ‘walk behind’ sectors.

Launched in 1947, the resultant B.M.B. President was built by Brockhouse Engineering of Southport. Enjoying an impressive power to weight ratio courtesy of the 918cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine it shared with the early Morris Minor, the newcomer helped many a vegetable plot owner combat post-WW2 rationing. Phased out of production in 1956, it was not uncommon to see B.M.B. Presidents working on smallholdings up until the 1980s.

Self-evidently the subject of an extensive past restoration, ‘NSU 505’ joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 2022. Seemingly complete, it is hoped that the B.M.B. President could be coaxed back into life via some minor recommissioning. The Red with Green wheels colour scheme is understood to be period correct.

Reg No: Un-Reg (formerly EGE 675C) Chassis No: M/A2S4S/294488

MOT: Exempt

Supplied new in Glasgow (or its now defunct number plate ‘EGE 675C’ would imply), this battle-scarred Mini is rumoured to have been a competition car all its life. Still sporting a decal for the 1973 Scottish Rally Championship to its roof, the diminutive saloon is known to have contested that year’s Tour of Mull as car number ‘88’ with driver Gerard Paton and co-driver Gerard McCosh aboard. Unfortunately, the two Gerards’ efforts were curtailed by a collision which resulted in the damage still visible to the old warhorse’s offside front wing. Not driven in anger since, the Morris is a fascinating time capsule with its boltedin rollcage, internally-routed fuel lines, auxiliary Speedwell gauges, bolstered front seats, Works-style dashboard extensions and 7,000rpm red-lined tacho etc. Competing in the 1-litre class, the Mini is fitted with a Riley-branded, twin carburettor-fed A-Series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission.

The presence of a September 1964 dated window wiper motor suggests that the abused bodyshell might possibly be original. Substantially complete, the Mini would make a rewarding restoration project or could be left in its current state as a fascinating display piece.

No Reserve* Chassis No: TS5441

Offered here is a TR2 finished in White with a Red interior with some 47,900 miles displaying on the odometer. Offered from long-term family ownership since being imported into the UK in 1997 little is known about the TR2’s early history. We are advised ‘RZ 2541’ had been dry stored in a garage and not used for approximately 5 years due to ill health and it has been on SORN for the past year. Evidently the subject of a degree of restoration at some stage in its life the TR has recently been recommissioned for the road once more, with a receipt on file for the work carried out by TR Bitz. A recent MOT test was carried out with a ‘no advisories’ outcome and remains valid until 12th May 2025. The vendor has described the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as ‘Good’ and the electrics as ‘Very Good’.

A May 2024 invoice from marque specialist TR Bitz, shows parts purchased included a headlamp dip switch, a handbrake and a choke cable, headlamp switch, master cylinder, replacement key and a boot handle and fitted as part of recommissioning work. The TR2 possesses full weather equipment plus aero screens and filler cap and is offered with a current V5C on file.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: WM04 EXS

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: JMZNB186200410826

Some thirty-five years on from its 1989 Chicago Motor Show introduction, the Mazda MX-5 remains refreshingly true to its initial ‘Jinba Ittai’ (‘oneness of horse and rider’) design credo. Still resolutely front-engined and rear-wheel drive, the two-seater Roadster vies with the Porsche 911 for the title of world’s best-selling sportscar. The first and second generation cars are regarded as the purest incarnations of the MX-5 albeit that the latter benefit from a glass rear window, improved headlights and slightly more horsepower.

Recorded as first registered on 10th July 2004 and displaying just c.54,000 miles on the odometer, this face-lifted ‘Mk2.5’ ‘NB’ iteration has just three former keepers recorded on HPI with the most recent ownership of 4 years. A ‘1.6’ engined and spritely manual version of the iconic sports car, it has the ‘Mk2.5’ revised configuration of the front lights, white dials in a revised dashboard, some safety features revisions and a 2DIN radio aperture. It is offered with the original owner’s wallet with handbooks, including the service book, a collection of invoices and current V5C Registration Document.

1959 MGA Roadster

103

No Reserve* Chassis No: WDB1290632F158049

The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front airbags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.

Manufactured in 1997, the SL 320 offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered as ‘19 DE’ on 8th September. Factory finished in Black Green paintwork with a Grey leather interior and Black hood, the SL was specified with the 8-hole light alloy wheels, headlamp cleaning equipment, speakers front and rear, electric seats, cruise control, and CD radio. Offered now having covered a modest mileage of just 79,500 miles from new, the Mercedes-Benz has had just three former keepers, entering into current ownership in 2008. The vendor informs us that ‘R663 UDD’ has been regularly serviced and is offered with extensive service history. The seller rates the Mercedes-Benz as ‘good’ throughout (in regard to bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, and interior trim) but notes that there is a small crack in the soft top window on the edge.

Reg No: 6918 UA

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: HDT1365083

First registered on 18th July 1959 and one of the last 1489cc cars, ‘6918 UA’ is believed to have been supplied new in the Leeds area. Little is known of the history until 1989 when the car was acquired by Mrs Shepherd of North Walsham, Norfolk. Painted green, the MGA was evidently cherished as there are a number of large invoices on file from the period. Mrs Shepherd sold the car onto a Mrs Dunnett, also of Norfolk, in 2010 who commissioned MG Mecca of Norfolk to uprate the sports car with an MGB 1800cc engine and Borg Warner 35 Automatic gearbox plus disc brakes. Cosmetically, the car was repainted in the iconic MG Tartan Red and re-trimmed in Black. The total cost amounted to £22,332.73 and further works were undertaken by MG Mecca until the car was sold through them to the current, late owner in 2015. The late owner, Mr Ward, was fanatical about maintenance making regular trips to the Continent with his widow. Unfortunately, his declining health meant that the MGA has not been used on the road for some time and it now requires mild recommissioning prior to use.

1969 Rover P5B 3.5 Coupe

104

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: XVO 400H MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 84503355D Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover’s stately P5 model range and the ex-Buick 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 engine resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and disc/drum brakes.

Manufactured in 1969, the P5B offered was UK road registered 24th September that year. Finished in Admiralty Blue with a Silver Birch roof, the Rover features complementary Tan hide upholstery. Shortly before entering the current ownership in 2016, the P5B was provided with significant restoration work that comprised a complete respray, fitment of electronic ignition, attention to the cooling system, and other smaller improvements to the total of over £7,700. Thereafter featured in ‘Classic Car Mart’ magazine in a comparison between the Rover P5B Coupe and the Daimler V8 250, with the article concluding that the P5B narrowly won!

Further enhanced while in current ownership, the Rover has received wheel refurbishment, a brake refresh, a new starter motor, fitment of a vintage-style radio, and servicing making expenditure since 2015 totalling above £10,600. Accompanied by the original and complete toolkit, chassis ‘84503355D’ is offered now with just 53,500 recorded miles on the odometer. Supplied with a history file that contains a large collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, owner’s instruction manual, original sales literature, workshop manual, copy of the ‘Classic Car Mart’ magazine, and a current V5C document. With low recorded mileage and in an appealing colour scheme, ‘XVO 400H’ has much to recommend it and is offered at we feel, an attractive guide.

In current ownership since June 2013, little is known prior to that however cosmetically, the 240Z has benefitted from bodywork restoration and re-paint between 2013 and 2017 with receipts on file for paint, sundries and bodywork repairs, including an £800 receipt for bodywork in 2017. December 2014 saw new door handles purchased. In October 2015, the engine bay and front running gear were cleaned and painted. Other cosmetic improvements include a Mota-Lita wood-rim steering wheel at a cost of £290, a March 2017 receipt for a set of stainless-steel Datsun 240Z bumpers at a cost of £875; new tail-lights were purchased in December 2014 and new turn signal lenses in July 2017; a 2019 Rota Shop purchase of alloy wheels at a cost of £560. Many trim parts had to be purchased from the USA and beyond and included seals, rubbers, clips, badges and trim. A new Pilkington Classics windscreen was ordered in March 2017 at a cost of £363.14.

Mechanically, an alloy radiator was purchased for £210 in September 2016; brake parts were purchased in June 2017; 2019 saw a cylinder head repair by Barton Street Engineering, Stockport; undersealing and Waxoyling; new rear brake cylinders and brake discs purchased; Bob’s Auto Electrics were used to fault-find electrics and a new starter was also fitted in April 2020; heater hose, a battery and a brake servo (at a cost of £249.95) were purchased in 2021. In need of recommissioning after a period of storage, the 240Z is offered with a large collection of invoices and notes regarding the restoration work, along with old MOT certificates and a current V5c document.

1998 BMW Z3M Coupe

106

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: S100 LCS MOT: July 2025 Chassis No: WBSCM92070LB29169 Beginning as an unofficial skunkworks project under the leadership of Burkhard Göschel, the M Coupe was intended to be a stiffer, more rewarding take on the accomplished Z3 M Roadster. Sharing the latter’s doors and structure from the A-posts forward, the reinforced hardtop featured wider tracks, recalibrated suspension and a style all its own. Borrowing cues from BMW’s Mille Migliawinning 328 Coupe and iconic 507 Roadster, the M Coupe was initially powered by its M3 Evolution sibling’s 3.2 litre DOHC straight-six engine allied to five-speed manual transmission and a limited slip differential. With some 321bhp / 251lbft on tap but lacking traction control, the two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and limited to 155mph. With its elongated bonnet, truncated hatchback rear, foursquare stance and quad exhaust pipes, BMW’s smallest ‘M’ car did not want for road presence. Great fun, it was given next to no marketing exposure so as not to steal sales from the more profitable M3 range (in both E36 and E46 guises). Thus, total right-hand drive production of the CM92-specification variant was just 821 cars.

Finished in Estoril Blue with matching leather upholstery, chassis WBSCM92070LB29169 was first UK registered as ‘S100 LCS’ on November 6th 1998. Equipped with a sunroof, air-conditioning, heated seats, Harman Kardon stereo and cruise control, it was bought by Sam Bailey of the SL Shop as a present for his father prior to entering the current (sixth) ownership in 2013. Reportedly 84

well maintained over the last eleven years as part of a private collection the BMW has just been treated to an oil change, fresh MOT and new rear shock absorbers. Summed-up by the vendor as ‘a nice car’, he notes some light marks to the paintwork and wheels. Among the more memorable and enjoyable ‘M’ cars of recent years, this rawer, S50-engined M Coupe is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, stamped service book (up to 2012) and sundry paperwork.

1960 Ford Anglia 105E Race Car

107

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: 501 UYR MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 105E115195 Ford’s fourth and last Anglia - the 105E - broke cover in 1959. The styling displayed a strong American influence and included a sweeping nose, notchback rear window, and muted tail fins. The newcomer benefited from an equally new engine, a 997cc OHV straight-four unit codenamed ‘Kent’, versions of which powered all manner of Fords for years after. It was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. The suspension was by MacPherson strut at the front and leaf-sprung live axle at the rear. Motorsport is engrained in the Blue Oval’s DNA and the 105E Anglia played its part in the company’s competition history, including winning the 1966 British Touring Car Championship.

Chassis ‘105E115195’ is a well-known example, that was converted to race car specification in 1997 and has previously belonged to John Smith, JF Toplis, Ralph Forbes, Andy Baillie, Nick Morgan, John Atkins, Alex Postan, Grahame Bryant, and Peter Kennerly, and competed in many rally and race meetings; including the Goodwood Revival in 2001 and 2003.

Its roof once carried the signatures of 52 drivers, including Sir Stirling Moss, Gerry Marshall and Win Percy, although none are now visible. The Anglia is accompanied by a large history file including previous ownership records, previous FIA papers and HSCC identity form, restoration photos, technical information, a collection of invoices and MOTs, and sundry paperwork.

Benefitting from a significant mechanical overhaul in 2019-2020 with over £15,000 worth of expenditure, the Anglia received a full engine overhaul of the 1500cc pre-crossflow engine completed by Gathercole Race Engines (invoice included in the images), a new underslung pedal box, and a full brake kit from Burton Power. In current ownership since 2022, the 105E been used on track once in his ownership, after a thorough preparation.

‘115195’ would now benefit from a tune before any future competition, but represents a reasonably priced entry into historic racing.

1967 Aston Martin DB6

108

Exciting stalled restoration project with much work already completed Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000* Reg No: Un-Reg

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: DB6/3276/R

Unveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was notable for being the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company’s move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although, a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail with built-in spoiler, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater’s hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to the claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise and handling, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, fourwheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 282bhp and 280lbft of torque in standard tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 to be capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MkI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MkII’s July 1969 arrival.

According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate on file, chassis DB6/3276/R was built on 31st October 1967 and despatched to HR Owen Limited, London on 20th December where it was first registered as ‘UPL 141F’. Originally supplied in the attractive and unusual colour combination of Deep Carriage Green paintwork over a Red Leather interior, it was specified from the factory with a five-speed ZF gearbox. Little is known of the DB6’s early life, however it is understood that the previous owner found the car as a complete project in 2018 with the intention of carrying out a restoration. Much of the car was found to be corroded, including most, if not all, of the Aluminium panel work - an aged photograph on file suggests that there was a large hole that had been cut in the offside front wing! Purchased by the vendor in 2020, the car had already been stripped for restoration and was found to be in need of much welding work - so therefore the Aston’s body was taken to Martin Wilcox (the renowned metalwork artist of Z-Lines vehicle restoration) who fitted complete steel front and rear chassis sections from R&J Simpson and has removed all of the corrosion from elsewhere. The famous Tadek Marek designed six-cylinder, twin-cam power unit was stripped for overhaul and machining work was entrusted to the Head Shop in Warrington, Cheshire, who overhauled the cylinder head and bored out the block to 4.2 Litres with matching pistons to suit. However, the engine 86

has remained in a disassembled state ever since, with its overhauled SU carburettors and ZF gearbox also being present.

Now presented as an incredible opportunity for any prospective buyer to build one of the great David Brown era Astons to their specification, DB6/3276/R is available to market with much of the hard work having been completed. Supplied with a number of invoices on file, the original chassis number plate stating the original engine number (which is confirmed to be matching the block stamping) and also a hoard of extra parts. We recommend that any interested parties view this lot in person to satisfy themselves about its condition.

PLEASE NOTE: ‘UPL 141F’ no longer appears when typed into the DVLA online vehicle check and there is no V5C present with the history file - however a HPI check on the chassis number has confirmed the link and has shown a clean record. Prospective bidders should make their own enquiries and be aware that they will need to apply for a new registration document.

Chassis No: L63509

Introduced at the 1934 Olympia Motor Show, the 17hp was available in three wheelbase lengths to cater for the needs of the sporting motorist, owner-driver and carriage trade (though, the majority were bodied by Armstrong-Siddeley’s in-house coachbuilder Burlington). Marketed as “A Car of Aircraft Quality” (a nod to its parent company’s vital role within the aero industry), the 17hp was notable for its stiff four-bearing crankshaft, integral block / crankcase casting and advanced water pump design. Credited with developing some 70hp @ 3,300rpm, it was reputedly capable of circa 70mph.

Introduced in 1946, the Lanchester LD10 was more considerably expensive than its 10hp opposition. Marketed as ‘craftsman built’, the newcomer was powered by a smooth 1287cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed pre-selector transmission complete with a fluid flywheel. Equipped with independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the four-seater was reputedly capable of 69mph. Initially fitted with steel Six-Light coachwork by Briggs, later variants wore aluminium Four-Light bodies courtesy of Barker & Co. Just 579 of the 3,030 LD10s made sported the more rakish Barker design.

Bodied by Salmons & Sons as a ‘Foursome’ Drophead Coupe and first registered in Brecknockshire on 4th November 1936 (or so its ‘EU 6160’ number plate would imply), chassis 32436 has belonged to the late Mr Lucas since at least 1978. An attendee at numerous classic car meetings that same decade, the Armstrong Siddeley appears to have never been restored. Believed but not warranted to have covered a mere 81,000 miles from new, the 17hp exudes originality. The ‘Tickford’ winding mechanism to take the soft-top roof from Sedanca to Open positions remains in situ as to a plethora of event plaques. A very rare and stylish motorcar that is surely worthy of recommissioning and a place in another collection.

First registered in Lancashire (or so its ‘MTE 926’ number plate would imply), chassis L63509 has been part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least the late 1970s when the DVLA computerised their records. A regular attendee at Daimler Lanchester Owners’ Club events earlier that same decade, the LD10 displays an unwarranted 22,338 miles to its odometer. Fitted with ‘Regency’ upholstery covers and sundry auxiliary gauges, the four-seater has lain dormant for years. Seemingly complete, it will require recommissioning / renovation prior to use. Curiously, the DVLA erroneously list the car’s date of first registration as February 1st 1957.

Reg No: XRX 233

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B7040716HU0

Introduced in September 1960, the Series IIIB version of Singer’s popular Gazelle featured the same enlarged front windscreen and vestigial tail fins as its immediate predecessor but benefited from the adoption of a new, hypoid bevel back axle. Available in Saloon, Convertible or Estate guises, the Series IIIB was in production for less than a year such was the pace of development at Rootes and its rivals. A handsome four-door design, the Estate sported a split tailgate and metal backed rear seat that could fold down to extend the load bay. Far rarer than the ‘three box’ Saloon, surviving Estates demand a considerable premium.

First registered in Berkshire on 29th April 1961 (or so its ‘XRX 233’ number plate would imply), chassis B7040716HUO belonged to Mrs Karen Crotty of Hemel Hempstead some twenty-three years later. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection in February 1985, a plaque affixed atop the Singer’s dashboard indicates it accompanied him to the Sussex Yesteryear Transport Group’s Vintage Vehicle Display that September. Seemingly taken off the road shortly thereafter, the Gazelle retains its original upholstery and displays an unwarranted 44,072 miles to the odometer. A characterful and rare early 1960s Estate car, it is surely worthy of a return to road use?

Chassis No: U-3171

Introduced in September 1938, the Armstrong-Siddeley 16hp could be had in ‘Coach’ (Six-Light) or ‘Touring’ (Four-Light) Saloon guises. Both bodies featured ‘fume proof’ floors that contributed to the structural integrity of the chassis. Influenced by contemporary aero engine practice in terms of its combustion chamber design, valve stem length and porting, the newcomer’s 1.9 litre OHV straight-six was allied to four-speed pre-selector transmission. Priced at a reasonable £380, the Armstrong-Siddeley 16hp was reputedly capable of 70mph and 25mpg. Curtailed by World War Two, just 950 cars are thought to have been completed.

First registered in Coventry on 2nd November 1938 (or so its ‘DVC 378’ number plate would imply), chassis U-3171 presents in Black with Brown leather upholstery. A Six-Light Coach Saloon complete with sunroof, it is understood to have joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during July 2008. Acquired as a project, the Armstrong-Siddeley appears to be substantially complete albeit the headlamps are missing as are various instruments (and doubtless other minor components). A notably early example being registered barely two months after the 16hp was announced, ‘DVC 378’ is surely worthy of restoration and a return to the road? *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

1925 Humber 12/25 Tourer

Estimate: £7500 - £8500* Reg No: WC 1312

MOT: Exempt

114

No Reserve* Chassis No: M3843

Introduced for the 1925 season, the 12/25 was a well-engineered, solidly built design that furthered Humber’s reputation as a quality marque. Based around a conventional ladderframe chassis with a 9ft 1in wheelbase and 4ft 7in track, it featured all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and drum brakes. Rated at 12HP by the treasury, its 1795cc, fourcylinder engine utilised overhead inlet and side exhaust valves. Producing some 25hp @ 3,000 rpm, this torquey unit reputedly gave the model a top speed of 54mph. A reflection of its greater merit and finesse, the Humber cost up to fifty per cent more than the equivalent Austin or Morris. Only in production for two years surviving 12/25s are a rarity.

Finished in Maroon over Black with Black upholstery, ‘WC 1312’ presents as an older restoration. Variously described by the vendor as being in ‘scruffy’ (brush paintwork, interior trim), ‘average’ (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment) or ‘good’ (bodywork) condition, the Humber boasts an Auster screen and full weather equipment (the latter incorporating hinged sidescreens). Recently loaned to a friend for a rally, the 12/25 is summed-up by the seller as ‘a car to use and improve’.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

Reg No: V580 OGC

MOT: None

Chassis No: SAJAC41J9YPA04646

The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normallyaspirated version of the company’s AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise.

The XKR offered was supplied new by Jaguar of Liverpool and first road registered on 6th January 2000. Finished in Silver with a Cream leather interior, the Jaguar was retained by the first keeper for four years before being purchased by the vendor, having covered some 40,000 miles. Used by the vendor regularly until early 2011, the XKR was taken off the road thereafter but the vendor could not bear to part with the car until now. It will therefore require recommissioning / fettling. The Jaguar was stolen for half a day in 2009 but was recovered before leaving the postcode area of London unscathed, with it noted on HPI. Offered now with under 61,000 miles from new, the XKR is accompanied by the original book pack including the owner’s handbook and stamped service book displaying several main agent stamps, and a current V5C document showing just one former keeper.

No Reserve* Chassis No: VAS2-0029297M

Chassis ‘29297M’ was despatched on 12th August 1971. Finished in Midnight Blue with a Blue leather interior, it was specified with the factory fitted extras of four-speed automatic transmission, heated rear window, and automatic seat belts. Supplied new by Shrubbery Garages Ltd of Weston-Super-Mare, with the original BMC retail order form still on file, the first owner used the 1300 sparingly. Retained in their family’s ownership until 1997, the Princess was sold with just 21,000 miles having been covered.

Well maintained through its subsequent life, there are significant numbers of maintenance and servicing invoices on file. Entering previous ownership in 2014, the Vanden Plas received new front brake discs and pads, and servicing upon purchase. It has been fitted with a Stage Two Head at some point. Offered with a large history file that contains the aforementioned significant collection of invoices and correspondence as well as a large selection of MOTs back to 1977 (with 5,696 miles at the time), previous tax discs, Vanden Plas Owner’s Club factory records, and a current V5C document. A low mileage example having now covered just 29,700 miles from new, ‘29297M’ is a notably original car, believed to be retaining much of its original interior and presents with its factory spot welds evident. Supplied with its jack and toolkit, this is a rare opportunity for what is surely a scarce sub-30,000 miles example.

Reg No: G306 UDV

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB1260342A524109

Supplied new to the United Kingdom, the 420SE offered was first registered on 17th January 1990. Factory finished in the rare and appealing colour of Seafoam Green Metallic paintwork with Tan leather interior upholstery, the SE was well-specified with paintwork protection, headlamp cleaning equipment, electric sliding sunroof, burred walnut trim, blinker lamps, air-conditioning, green tinted glass, heated rear window, and air-conditioning. ‘G306 UDV’ was subject to an insurance write-off to Category C in 2015 but has since been repaired.

Acquired by the vendor in 2022, the 420 SE was thereafter provided with a cosmetic restoration including two new wings and a full repaint. Offered now having 133,000 miles on the odometer, the Mercedes-Benz has had seven former keepers.

‘G306 UDV’ is supplied with a history file that includes the original stamped service book that covers the early history of the Mercedes, when the SE covered a sizeable amount of its mileage, with nine services documented between 1990 and 2000, almost all by MercedesBenz main agents or specialists, and up to some 54,000 miles. Further accompanied by a collection of invoices for the parts purchased in current ownership, the vendor rates the Mercedes-Benz as having ‘good’ engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment ‘very good’ interior trim and bodywork, and ‘excellent’ paintwork.

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000* Chassis No: WAUZZZ8AZLA158710

The vendor, a Saab specialist garage, took this rare 5-cylinder 4-door luxury Saloon as a part exchange. Finished in Pearl White with Grey velour, this Audi 90 more recently belonged to a car collecting friend of the vendor. His ownership was over a 5-year period.

Stored for 8-9 years in a heated garage at TK Autos, Kendal, the Audi’s condition is said to be ‘exceptional’ for its age, with a few marks that could be remedied. The lack of corrosion is likely due to a galvanized body from Audi on these special iterations of the Audi 80 model series. The Audi 90s specification was beyond that of many marques in 1990. There’s a Blaupunkt Montreux radio cassette player, electric windows on all four doors, an electric sunroof and air conditioning; unusual to find both specified.

The alloy wheels are colour-coded and an inch larger than the very similar originals that are also being offered with the car. The spare is a full-size example. The car passed the MOT with a couple of advisories, subsequently a new track rod end has been fitted and the tracking being readjusted as we speak. There are 3 former keepers recorded on the V5C logbook, a book pack is present and shows stamps up to c.40k in the service booklet (now displaying c.80,060).

First registered on 23rd March 2001, chassis SCBLC31E31CH06031 was originally supplied in the attractive colour scheme of Peacock Blue over a Cream leather interior. The vendor advises that the car has a large history file with a number of servicing receipts with the latest being undertaken by independent Rolls Royce and Bentley specialists West Hoathly Garage Ltd of West Sussex to the sum of £1194 in 2021. The vendor took the car off the road after putting less than 1,000 miles on the odometer and will be preparing the car with a fresh MOT for the Sale.

The seller describes the car as being in overall ‘good’ condition, with the paintwork showing some minor blemishes to be expected from a 23 year old car. The interior is described as ‘good’ with only minor imperfections due to cracked leather on the driver and passenger front seats with the rears appearing in ‘very good’ condition. The vendor has described the mechanical condition as being ‘very good’ with the engine easily starting and moving the car with no warning lights displayed on our visit - it has also recently been subject to an ECU overhaul and the fitment of a new alternator by a renowned Rolls Royce and Bentley specialist.

PLEASE NOTE: The private registration number ‘SFA 2T’ pictured is not included with the sale of the car and the car will return to its original registration number as listed.

MOT: May 2025

Chassis No: VF1CM0M0634145830

Reg No: 508 UYR

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AS5HCS83929

Introduced in September 2004, the first generation Mégane RS was available in three-door and five-door hatchback versions, both with the same engine, and was built at Renault’s Dieppe factory using body shells made in Palencia, Spain. The Mégane Renault Sport 225 featured double-axis strut suspension with independent steering axis at the front.

Powered by a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine tuned to produce 225bhp, the car is capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds, before going on to a top speed of 147mph.

Introduced in 1956, it replaced the highly successful Austin A30. The name reflected the larger and more powerful 34 hp (25 kW) A-Series inline-four engine, enabling a slightly higher top speed and better acceleration. The A35 is very similar in appearance to the A30, except for a larger rear window aperture and a painted front grille, with chrome horse-shoe surround, instead of the chrome grille on the A30. The A35’s ratios are better spaced and give a higher speed in third gear. Like the A30, the A35 was offered as a two- or four-door saloon and two-door “Countryman” estate and also as a van.

Manufactured in 2004, the 225 RenaultSport offered, was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on 6th September that year. Finished in Blue with Renault F1 Team decals, the Mégane benefits from Black interior upholstery. Having had just four former keepers, ‘SA55 HRO’ has covered a modest mileage of some 65,500 miles from new. Last serviced by the owner last year, with very minimal miles covered since, it is offered with a history file that contains the book pack including the stamped service book.

The file also has a collection of invoices, a selection of previous MOTs, a no advisory MOT until May next year, and a current V5C document, the Renault has two sets of keys as well.

Finished in Tweed Grey with a very attractive contrasting Cherry Red interior, this A35 has resided in current ownership since 2019. ‘508 UYR’ was restored in 2018. The vendor considers the most recent paintwork as having ‘not been done well and is now in need of attention’. Said to be ‘running well and regularly serviced’ in current ownership, the A35 benefited from a new clutch in 2020 and replacement radiator in 2023. Some brake cylinders were also fitted in 2023. The vendor describes the condition of the bodywork, interior and electrics as ‘very good’, the engine and transmission as ‘excellent’ and the paintwork as ‘poor’. Offered with the owner’s handbook and current V5C Registration Document.

Chassis No: ML7335SCO

Of the 807,000 Morris Marinas sold between 1971 and 1980 less than 1,000 are known to still exist. Rushed to market and compromised by an overly convoluted design brief, the Marina (codenamed ADO28) was the first British Leyland product. Targeted at the fleet market, Morris’s newcomer could be had in saloon, coupe, estate, pick-up and van guises all underpinned by the same front-engined, rear-wheel drive platform. Engines ranged from 1.3 – 1.8 litres in size and trim levels were profuse. Never the best-selling, looking, handling or performing car in its segment, the Marina was nevertheless a sales success and an integral part of British 1970s culture.

Introduced in October 1969, the MK2 version of Triumph’s critically acclaimed 2000 / 2500 range utilised the same monocoque construction, all-round independent suspension and disc / drum brakes as its predecessor. Restyled by Giovanni Michelotti, the newcomer presaged the aesthetics of the upcoming Stag sportscar. More popular and reliable than its larger capacity sibling, the 2000 MK2 was powered by a twin carburettor-fed 1998cc 90bhp/117lbft straight-six allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Notably light and airy, the estate version had its rear bodywork crafted by Carbodies. The last of the six-cylinder Triumphs, the 2000 / 2500 cars have inspired a loyal following.

Dating from the first year of production and first registered in Somerset (or so its ‘FYB 131K’ number plate would imply), chassis MH4S923863M was the last vehicle to join the late Mr Lucas’s collection in January 2023. Immortalised as an Oxford Diecast model and well-known to the Morris Marina Owners’ Club, the Teal Blue Saloon passed its most recent MOT test at and indicated 53,844 miles on 7th July 2021 with ‘no advisories’.

Having covered less than 800 miles since then, it is now in need of recommissioning. Long pilloried, the Marina may yet have its day in the sun.

First registered in Rochdale on 26th March 1975 (or so its ‘HDK 222N’ number plate would imply), chassis ML7335SCO was acquired by its previous (believed second) keeper, Thomas Wardle, four years later before joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 2000.

Pleasingly retaining its original interior, the Triumph shows an unwarranted 14,638 miles to the odometer. Finished in the period combination of Cream with Brown upholstery and previously supplied by E. Rowland & Sons Ltd of Knaresborough, the 2000 MK2 has the benefit of overdrive. The most recent MOT certificate on file was issued on June 4th 2003 at 13,943 miles. In need of recommissioning / renovation.

Inspired by the Simplicity Manufacturing Co’s compact tractor designs which it had imported from Wisconsin during the late 1930s, the British Motor Boats (or B.M.B.) concern devised a similarly diminutive machine aimed at the ‘market garden’ and ‘walk behind’ sectors.

Launched in 1947, the resultant B.M.B. President was built by Brockhouse Engineering of Southport. Enjoying an impressive power to weight ratio courtesy of the 918cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine it shared with the early Morris Minor, the newcomer helped many a vegetable plot owner combat post-WW2 rationing. Phased out of production in 1956, it was not uncommon to see B.M.B. Presidents working on smallholdings up until the 1980s.

First registered in Lancashire on 9th September 1954 (or so its ‘TTF 358’ number plate would imply), chassis 270402 belonged to Colin Whittaker of Milnthorpe forty-three years later. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the President joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during early 2002. Barn stored, the tractor will require recommissioning prior to any further usage. An appealing and straightforward project.

The Auctioneer may at any time ratify an incomplete form.

100

1.2 Any documentation pertaining to the Lot must be sent with the Entry Form to the Auctioneer’s office, or in any event delivered with the Lot to the Premises. The Contract between the Seller and the Auctioneer will be formed when the Auctioneer receives a signed Entry Form for the Lot, whether by hand, post, fax, email or by any other means, and whether or not the Entry Fee for that Lot has been paid, and whether or not the Form has been signed by the Auctioneer.

1.3 All relevant matters pertaining to the Lot such as a financial encumbrance, serious accident damage or other factors affecting value which are known to the Seller must be stated on the Entry Form. If a sale is lost because of the failure of the Seller to disclose to the Auctioneer all information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Lot, the Auctioneer will charge and the Seller must pay the stated rates (both to Seller and Buyer) plus VAT. 1.4 If the Seller wishes to retain the registration number of a Lot, it is the Seller’s responsibility to notify the Auctioneer in writing on the Entry Form.

Whether the description has been prepared by the Auctioneer or

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

the Seller, a copy of the typed text will be provided to the Seller within a reasonable time prior to the Auction, and unless the Seller reacts with comments or changes prior to the Auction, the Auctioneer may treat that description as accepted by the Seller.

3.1 The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the Buyer either that he is the true owner of the Lot or that he is duly authorised to sell the Lot by the true owner, and is able to transfer or procure transfer of good and marketable title to the Lot free from a third party claims or encumbrances.

3.2 In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot, the Auctioneer reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith. There will be a charge of £75 plus VAT for this service.

3.3 Each Lot, in the condition as described on the Entry Form, and with all keys, spare or extra items and documents shall be delivered to the Premises at the expense of the Seller.

3.4 The Seller shall indemnify both the Auctioneer, its Employees and Agents, and the Buyer separately, against all payments, costs, expenses, demands, or any loss or damage whatsoever and wheresoever incurred or suffered by any of them in respect of any breach of these Conditions on the part of the Seller.

4.1 The Seller shall be entitled, prior to the sale to place a Reserve on any Lot, this being the minimum Hammer Price at which the Auctioneer is authorised to sell that Lot and to make its usual charges. A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer.

4.2 The Auctioneer may, at its option, sell the Lot at a Hammer Price below the Reserve but in any such case the Sale Proceeds to which the Seller is entitled shall be the same as if the sale had been at Reserve.

4.3 Where no Reserve has been placed on the Lot the Auctioneer shall in no way be liable should the Lot be purchased

for a price below the lowest estimated selling price. In any event, any written or oral estimate of likely selling price given by the Auctioneer is an expression of opinion only and may not be relied upon by the Seller nor give rise to any claim.

relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14.

4.4 If a Reserve is placed by the Seller in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, such a Reserve shall be calculated and converted into Sterling at the spot rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the last banking day prior to the date of the Sale.

The certificate in writing of the Auctioneer as to such rate shall be conclusive.

7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either:

4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.

5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none; (b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none, (c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value; (d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses; 5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.

6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the

(a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively) (b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.

8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.

9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made: (a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot; (b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer

Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced, placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of the Seller.

9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission.

10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk.

10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer.

10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer.

10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

101

10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.

10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds 11.1 If the Buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the total Amount due within 21 days after the Sale, the Auctioneer will notify the Seller and take the Seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action. So far as in the Auctioneer’s opinion it is practicable, the Auctioneer will at the Seller’s expense assist the Seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the Buyer, but the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.

11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER 12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition 102

vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer.

The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary.

12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal.

12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again.

12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides.

12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale.

13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium: Motorcars - 12.5% plus VAT

transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.

13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so. Where the Auctioneer executes bids on behalf of an absent bidder, each Lot will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and any relevant Reserve.

14. The Buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer in respect of each Lot the Buyer’s Commission calculated on the Hammer Price at the stated rates as set out above.

15. Where a Lot is described in the Catalogue or announced at the time of Sale as being subject to VAT on import, VAT will be payable in addition to the Hammer Price (which VAT may or may not be refundable by HM Customs & Excise on proof of export).

16.1 Upon the sale of a Lot, the Buyer shall: 16.2 Unless he has already done so, complete a Bidder’s Registration Form as in Condition 12.5 above; 16.3 Pay to the Auctioneer the total amount due, at latest by midday on the day after the Sale, notwithstanding that where the Buyer wishes to export the Lot, an export licence may be required which must be obtained by the Buyer at his own cost; 16.4 Accept that any payments received by the Auctioneer from a Buyer may be applied by the Auctioneer towards any sums owing from that Buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatsoever, without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied.

17.1 Until the total amount due has been received by the Auctioneer: (a) title in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer but the risk shall; (b) no Lot may be taken away by or on behalf of the Buyer.

17.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges and any other Expenses on any Lot not paid for and taken away from the by 1pm on the day following the day of the sale.

17.3 If the Lot remains under the vendor’s control for any reason, either at their property or a third-party one, then the Buyer must remove it within ten days of the sale. Failure to do so will result in the Lot being uplifted to secure storage at the Buyer’s expense.

18.1 If a Buyer fails either to pay for or to take away any Lot, the Auctioneer may without further notice to the Buyer, at its discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies, as may be relevant, in relation to any and all remedies for non-payment that the Auctioneer may choose to exercise.

The Buyer will pay to the Auctioneer all legal and other costs borne by it on a full indemnity basis.

18.2 To charge interest at a rate not exceeding 3% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3 for the first two months. After that period of time to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.75% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3.

18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions.

18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed.

18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller.

18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot. 18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due.

18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose.

18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future.

19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not.

19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot. GENERAL CONDITIONS 20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.

21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable.

22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers.

23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot. 24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation.
