An Auction of Classic & Performance Motorcars

27th November 2024, Pavilion Gardens, Buxton

Welcome to the auction

Welcome to our Winter Classic Car Sale here at the delightful Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, Derbyshire. The Octagon Theatre is bedecked with seasonal decorations and being kept toasty warm!

Our Sales Manager, James McWilliam, and his team have assembled 135 cars ranging in age from the cover car, the oh-so-pretty 1926 Derby 9hp Grand Sports Special, through to the wild 2015 Ford Mustang GT 50th Anniversary which has been customised with a wide body kit and scissor doors etc.

Style icons, the 1958 Mercedes-Benz 190SL and 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe will each have their fans and with respective guide prices of £70,000 - £90,000 and £60,000 - £70,000 would make excellent Christmas presents (even if it’s only to oneself!)

The thirty ‘No Reserve’ lots on offer encompass everything from a 1952 Leyland Beaver through to a 2007 Alfa Romeo Spider JTS via a 1957 Jaguar XK150 Convertible and a 1967 Bentley T1.

As ever, many of the cars have fascinating back stories. The 1936 MG SA Tickford Drophead Coupe has been in single family ownership from new, while the 1961 Jaguar MK2 3.4 Litre was bought new by the vendor’s father before his son reacquired it for the family in 2017. The 1960 Bentley S2 had a small fortune spent on it whilst in the care of a prominent trauma surgeon to ensure reliability and the 1951 Land Rover Series I 80-inch is thought to have seen service with the Bomb Disposal Squad.

There are also six cherished number plates in the sale for those who like their festive purchases to be on the smaller side. The collector car market remains fundamentally healthy with 2025 promising greater stability than the past year.

As ever if you have any questions about the cars please do not hesitate to ask. We hope you can join us at the Pavilion Gardens on November 27th but if not please accept our best wishes for a Happy Christmas and Healthy New Year.

Kind regards,

Colette McKay

Colette McKay, H&H Managing Director

Warranty

H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore, we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description.

Vehicle Identity and Competition History

Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are speci cally 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 dif cult 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 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 tted 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.

1961 Wolseley 1500

No Reserve*

Reg No: 584 XUH MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: WWA155232

Introduced in 1957, the Wolseley 1500 and Riley 1.5 shared the same compact three-box styling and Morris Minor derived floorpan complete with independent torsion bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1489cc OHV ‘B-Series’ engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the badge engineered duo enjoyed a surprising turn of speed. As befitted a product of one of BMC’s most prestigious marques, the Wolseley 1500 was notably well trimmed with supple leather and lustrous wood veneers. Remaining in production until 1965, some 93,000 Wolseley 1500s were made. However, survivors are a rare sight today.

Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, ‘584 XUH’ has been further improved since entering the current ownership in 2008. Carrying out the work himself, the vendor installed a new clutch and radiator as well as fettling the brakes, suspension and gearbox. To the interior, he rejuvenated the original leather upholstery with new foam inserts and relacquered the woodwork. Recently awakened after eight years’ slumber in dry storage, the 1500 started readily during our recent photography session. Showing an unwarranted 79,000 miles to its odometer, this appealing Sixties Saloon is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original handbook and sundry parts bills.

1964 Austin Mini Cooper

Estimate: £12,000 - 14,000*

Reg No: GME 245B MOT: Exempt Chassis No: CA257581648

A collaboration between racing car builder John Cooper and the Mini’s creator Alec Issigonis, the Mini Cooper debuted in September 1961 with the ultimate 1275cc S variant arriving three years later. Famously winning the Monte Carlo Rally for the third time in 1967, that same year saw the Mini updated to MkII specification complete with redesigned radiator grille, revamped interior, larger rear windscreen and a host of other minor changes.

Manufactured on the 19th May 1964, the Austin Mini Cooper offered was supplied new via Car Mart Limited of Ealing, London. Specified from new with the De-Luxe specification including a fresh air heater, pleasingly, the Cooper is still presented in its original colour combination of Old English White paintwork with Red upholstery. Originally fitted with a 998cc engine, the Mini has been provided with a self-evident restoration, which is understood to have been completed in 2023 including the fitment of an uprated 1380cc engine. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the Mini is understood to have covered very minimal mileage since the restoration’s completion and therefore some post-restoration fettling may be required. Offered with a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a current V5C document and a set of Minilite-style wheels, this attractive Mini is, we feel, sensibly guided.

1966 MG B Roadster

Reg No: ROO 707D MOT: September 2025 Chassis No: GHN389629

When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant Black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.

Offered here is a 1966-manufactured, right-hand drive B Roadster that was the subject of a restoration in 1989, when the original engine also benefitted from an overhaul. Some time since, the carburettors were renewed and a stainless-steel exhaust fitted. With the iconic Red MG B paintwork presenting well, the open bodywork is said to be still good. The Black interior is reported to be in a good condition, as is the Black soft-top and tonneau, whilst mechanically, the clutch, engine and gearbox (with overdrive) have been refreshed by the vendor. Also seeing some improvement through remedial work is the electrical system. Accompanied by receipts from previous ownership, relating to the older restoration, this B Roadster also benefits from a very recent MOT, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Dating Certificate and a current V5C.

1991 Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI

Estimate: £9,000 - 11,000*

Reg No: H599 GLL MOT: April 2025 Chassis No: VF320CB6224123711

Introduced in 1984, the Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the best ‘hot hatches’ ever made. Despite impressive performance figures (0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and 121mph), it was the model’s handling that won over the contemporary motoring press.

First registered on 4th January 1991 and with just 3 former keepers recorded in its c.87,000 miles, this 5-speed manual 1.6 GTI was ordered without the ‘80s style sunroof that could often cause water ingress. Being a 1.6 it possesses the arguably more attractive 14” ‘pepperpot’ alloys, and very clean and fresh they look too. Maintenance has seen a cambelt and service carried out at c.85,000 miles. A programme of refreshing the car has brought benefits to how the car presents with refreshing of the trim which has included the replacement of the front plastic bumper and the wheel arch plastic trims. The interior has been the subject of a re-trim that looks very OEM. New headlight lenses and exterior badges have also gone some way to embellish this pretty 1.6 iteration of the French GTI. The car’s heritage has been maintained with a set of authentic replacement ‘Warwick Wright Chiswick’ dealer plates. Offered with a full-size spare, the original owner’s wallet, handbook and the current V5C Registration Document.

1966 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III

1999 Daimler Super V8

Reg No: Unregistered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: HBJ8/32826

Understood to have been built during 1966 and one of a batch of right-hand drive cars that was exported to Hong Kong when new, chassis HBJ8/32862 is said to have been involved in an accident early on in its life during the 1970s and has remained off the road since. Acquired by Mr G. Lucas MBE and re-imported to the UK during this period, the Healey was to be the retirement project of Mr Lucas and was kept in dry storage after a strip down. Sadly, Mr Lucas has suffered from a decline in his health which has resulted in the project now needing to be sold.

Upon inspection, we noted that the body is in need of total restoration, but does come with a large number of its original or replacement panels. The original Red vinyl interior is also believed to be mostly present along with much chrome trim including front and rear bumpers. The shell will roll, but many of the spare parts are supplied in accompanying crates or loosely. The power unit is provided on a cradle and is supplied with the cylinder head, rocker cover and rockers, and the power unit appears largely corrosion free. All interested parties should be aware that no history file is available to accompany the car, so it is the purchasers’ responsibility to register it with the DVLA for UK use. The original, BMC supplied chassis tag is also included to aid the purchaser.

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: T550 TNO MOT: November 2025 Chassis No: SAJDKANF3CR877275

Manufactured in 1999, this rare and desirable LWB Super V8 was supplied new to ‘Jaguar Executive Sales’ being first registered on the 14th of July and is understood to have been used as a director’s car. Finished from the factory in Madeira Mica paintwork with complementary Oatmeal leather interior upholstery, the Daimler is well specified from climate control to deep pile Daimler carpets. Purchased in February 2001, by the first private owner (with sales invoice present), the Super V8 has since had a total of five private owners and has covered c.87,000 miles from new.

Benefitting from a gearbox service and new selector cable in 2017; four new tyres in 2020, brake pipes renewed in 2022 and a new ABS sensor in 2023. Main dealer serviced between 2000 and 2005, five times while covering the majority of its mileage (c.58,500 miles), the Super V8 has additional services documented in the history file. The accompanying Daimler wallet contains the driver’s handbook, vehicle care book, and booklets, there’s a large collection of previous MOT certificates and history, numerous maintenance and improvement invoices, current V5C documents, a November 2025 MOT with no advisories and original sales literature, as well as two sets of keys. Examples of the very rare LWB Super V8 are few and far between, so this example in a striking colour combination is not one to be missed.

1965 Vanden Plas Princess 4-Litre R

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: CUF 202C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: VRS33173

Purchased on 22nd April 1965, ‘CUF’ was supplied new by Stringers of Brighton as one of just c.6,555 examples produced. A Mr Letts of Brighton was the registered keeper until his passing in 1985 and the transfer of ownership to a family member who kept it until 2011. The car was in storage from 1992 until 2010, at which point it was put back on the road. Recommissioned with a brake overhaul, new fuel tank and a carburettor overhaul, bodywork restoration and a repaint commenced sometime in early 2012. ‘CUF’ then passed into the custodianship of subsequent owners from Southampton to Southport before coming to our vendor in June 2019 with some mechanical fettling initiated.

The 4-Litre has only covered some 36,000 credible miles from new, with some 30 old MOTs on record in the history file and receipts dating back to 1968, going some way to verify the very low mileage. The 4-Litre has clocked up only some 1,024 miles in the last 13 years, according to the DVSA records. ‘CUF’ is offered with an extensive history file, an original brochure and a booklet for the original Radiomobile radio, a Vanden Plas Owner’s Club Dating Certificate, MOT certificates dating back to 1968, a collection of invoices and the Passport to Service.

1937 Morris 8 Tourer

Estimate: £8,000 - 10,000*

Reg No: SXS 579 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S1E132674

Unveiled in 1935, the Morris Eight was better equipped than most of its competitors and boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on the upper two gearbox ratios and effective Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The range included both Two- and Four-Seat Tourers and was powered by a Morris UB series 918cc four-cylinder side-valve engine with three-bearing crankshaft and single SU carburettor with maximum power of 23.5bhp.

First registered on 2nd February 1937, this attractive Tourer has been in current ownership since 2016 and has only 2 former keepers recorded on the V5C. Finished in Maroon with a Black hood cover, this example is fitted with rare wheel trims and pleasingly still retains its original air filter. The weather gear comprises of the soft-top hood and a set of side screens. Cosmetically, the bodywork has been subject to a repaint in current ownership, whilst mechanically the Tourer is fitted with a 4-speed gearbox, however, the old 3-speed unit accompanies the car to the sale. Also benefitting from a conversion to 12v electrics there is also an electric fuel pump fitted. It is offered with older invoices on file, an old buff logbook, some old MOT history, the original operation manual and the current V5C Registration Document.

1978 Morgan 4/4 1600

Reg No: SIL 5205 MOT: June 2025 Chassis No: WBAEA8201D8165297

Reportedly one of just 862 BMW 628CSi Automatics built to right-hand drive specification, chassis WBAEA8201D816 was finished in the rare and attractive combination of Agate Green Metallic with Black leather upholstery. First registered as ‘A140 SUV’ on August 1st 1983, the Coupe was sold via marque concessionaire First Front Garages of Kennington to Mr Jeremy Carter four days later. Bought by fellow Londoner Mrs Shelagh Ansari during September 1986, she and her family had the four-seater re-registered as ‘SIL 5205’ and kept it for the next thirty-three years. Predominantly main dealer maintained throughout its life, the 628CSi’s last recorded trip to a BMW service centre was on 20th January 2012 at an indicated 115,385 miles. Treated to a service, new electric sunroof motor and some minor bodywork repairs before entering the current (fourth) ownership via the Classic & Sportscar Centre of Malton on 18th September 2019 for £12,000, the Coupe has since been looked after by Vector Vehicle Systems of Northwich. The original odometer failed at c.123,600 miles with the replacement unit now showing some 1,500 miles. MOT’d until June 2025 with a single advisory relating to its front number plate, this tempting E24 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and a history folder.

Estimate: £17,000 - 19,000*

Reg No: WJH 681T MOT: September 2025

Chassis No: B4244

Displaying a warranted c.17,000 miles on the odometer, ‘WJH’ was first registered on 8th August 1978 and was the subject of an extensive restoration in the mid-2000s. It was 2006 that Melvyn Rutter Ltd prepared a significant list of areas that required attention upon which a process of addressing them was initiated, and at a significant cost. The Morgan required a full interior refresh along with an engine overhaul and attention paid to the handbrake, bumpers, exhaust, tyres, battery and alternator, in all totalling 189 hours of labour and costing over £15,000. Some 3,000 miles has been covered since the work.

In 2024, the Morgan benefitted from improvements and upgrades that included an electronic ignition kit, 4 plugs and a coil at a cost of £339, £900 spent on the repair and respray of the bonnet and £275 spent on a ‘tune-up’. There is an amount of MOT paperwork included, evidencing the mileage history of the car. The last paper MOT was at 13,805 miles in 2005, the oldest on file, a 1984 MOT, shows 1,897 miles. There is a quantity of invoices, books, MOTs and spare parts included in the sale, along with a copy of the original handbook.

1934 Morris Minor Saloon

1952 Bentley MkVI Saloon

11

Estimate: £6,500 - 8,500*

Reg No: JO 9219 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 34/MS/40794

Chassis ‘34/MS/40794’ was despatched from the factory on the 12th February 1934, and thereafter road registered in Oxford on the 6th March. Reputedly retained in first ownership for several decades, the Morris is understood to have been purchased into the previous ownership at some stage of the 1990s and was kept in said custodianship for some thirty years. Benefitting from a comprehensive restoration during this period, the Morris is understood to have been used regularly following the completion of the restoration. Presented in Dark Blue paintwork with Black wings and wheels, the notable nice interior is trimmed in Dark Blue leather.

Purchased by the vendor a couple of years ago as an addition to his private collection, the Morris is now only on offer due to larger pre-war cars arriving shortly. An attendee of local events and shows around Derbyshire while with the vendor, the Minor has also benefitted from a new stainless-steel exhaust approximately two months ago. Offered with a history file that contains a copy of the original registration record, a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, an original handbook, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C document, this Minor with just three known owners in the last ninety years is due to be driven some 25 miles to the sale!

No Reserve*

Reg No: HKY 879 MOT: Exempt

12

Chassis No: B157PU

Introduced in 1946, Bentley’s MkVI was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce’s Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. Aimed at the emerging ‘owner-driver’ luxury car market, the newcomer was closely based on the 1939 MkV (of which only fifteen were produced). It was capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory’s understated ‘standard steel saloon’ coachwork.

Consigned from a deceased estate, ‘HYK 879’ entered the current ownership in 1967 and has subsequently been dry stored since it was taken off the road in c.1976. Finished in Black, with a contrasting Cream interior; this 4.5 litre example is described by a representative of the vendor’s family as ‘Average’ with regard to the paintwork, bodywork, engine, electrical equipment and transmission, whilst the interior trim is described as ‘Good’. Described as highly original throughout, the Bentley hasn’t been started or run for a lengthy period, however it appears complete and a relatively straightforward recommissioning project. Offered with a healthy history file, comprising the car’s original folding logbook, old style V5 Registration Document (incorrectly listing the date of first registration as 1983), MOT certificates, an original handbook, period receipts / correspondence with the Crewe factory and much more.

1975 Volkswagen Beetle 1303

13 1974 Toyota Celica ST Coupe

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: GFF 902N MOT: August 2025

Chassis No: 1352183373

The 1302 and 1303 ‘Super Beetles’ saw the final development of the Beetle, and in many ways, they were the best. To the casual observer, the 1970 Beetle looked similar to previous models, the 1302 and 1303 ‘Super’ Beetles were the most radical reworks of the car during its long life. MacPherson strut front suspension was adopted, which allowed more front boot space and improved handling. The struts also allowed space for front disc brakes.

Manufactured in 1975, chassis 1352183373 was supplied new to the United Kingdom in right-hand drive, being registered new on the 3rd June that year. Understood to have been provided with an extensive chassis-up restoration to a good standard in 2004, the Beetle was provided a full repaint in Bronze paintwork and was fitted with a renewed engine as part of this restoration. In current registered ownership since 2009, the Beetle recently benefitted from new front and rear brake shoes and front springs (in 2023). Offered with c.91,500 miles on the odometer, the Volkswagen is supplied with a history file that contains a selection of previous MOTs and invoices, a current MOT certificate until August next year with no advisories and a current V5C document. Featuring ‘Empi 8-spoke’-style alloy wheels, the Beetle started readily and running driving well during our recent photography session, this example is a nicely presented example.

Reg No: CWB 609N MOT: November 2025 Chassis No: TA22104139

Unveiled at the October 1970 Tokyo Motor Show, the first generation Toyota Celica debuted as a two-door, notchback Coupe with distinctive ‘Coke bottle’ styling. Utilising the same running gear as its Carina sibling but in a smaller, lighter and sportier package, the newcomer was a strong seller in Japan and served as something of a halo model in North America and Europe. Better built than many of its rivals on the latter two continents, the Toyota was also an early adopter of five-speed manual transmission. Performance was class competitive and running costs admirably low.

This 1974 ST Coupe was first owned by a Mr S. Lockett who left the car to the previous (and just second) owner in his will. The car was consigned to our 26th July 2000 auction at Buxton, where it was purchased as an investment by the vendor, and immediately placed into dry storage. Remaining static until our recent photography session, it has covered a genuine and warranted c.24,300 miles from new. Supplied by Portland Autos of Sheffield, this highly original and unmolested example appears complete, save for a single missing hubcap. A straightforward and sympathetic recommissioning project, ‘CWB 909N’ has been started and driven following more than two decades of slumber and is supplied with a small number of sundry spares in the boot.

1971 MG B Roadster

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Reg No: CRF 183K MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN5252738G

Today, the MG B enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant Black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.

First registered on 1st August 1971 and displaying a mere c.50,775 miles, this UK market MG B Roadster is finished in the attractive colour combination of White complemented by a Red interior. Externally, it wears handsome ‘Minilite’-style alloy wheels and is a desirable chrome bumper model. The dashboard wears wooden panels, that work well with the Red interior of this early 1970s example. An older restoration from a few years ago, the B is said to present in ‘very good’ condition. The interior is described by the vendor as ‘excellent’ and the exterior’s panel fit as ‘superb’. It is being offered with a history file and the current V5C Registration Document.

Estimate: £12,000 - 14,000*

Reg No: M555 SGD MOT: November 2025 Chassis No: WDB2304742F048071

Notable as the most powerful production car ever fielded by Mercedes-Benz upon its launch in 2002, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5 litre V8 produced some 476bhp. Completed to order number 0353705996, for release to the UK market on March 17th 2003, chassis WDB2304742F048071 was finished in the rare and attractive combination of Tanzanite Blue Metallic with Grey leather upholstery. Undergoing its pre-delivery inspection ten days later at supplying dealer Mercedes-Benz Lancaster of Ipswich, the SL55 AMG’s impressive specification included Parktronic, COMAND, multi-contour seats, Keyless GO, premium sound system and Bi-Xenon headlights etc. Serviced at 6,119, 13,719, 19,168, 29,209, 30,648, 37,269, 43,687, 49,486, 53,593, 57,143, 59,290, 61,179 and 67,745 miles, the most recent of these was carried out by DM Performance Cars of Chester on 28th September 2023 (less than 100 miles ago). Entered from a deceased estate, the late owner became the two-seater’s fifth registered keeper on June 1st 2021. Unused recently, the SL55 AMG started readily for our October 2024 photography session. It is offered with the V5C Registration Document, 2 keys, the original book pack (including PDI checklist), service book, manuals and numerous old MOTs and maintenance invoices, not to mention the personalised number plate ‘M555 SGD’.

1968 Citroen DS21 Pallas

Estimate: £25,000 - 30,000*

Reg No: 175 XUY MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 4486529

One of the earliest produced examples with the redesigned aerodynamic front end, chassis 4486529 is dated to the 1968 model year and was specified as a top specification Pallas with optional leather seat trimming. Little is known about the early history of the DS, however it is shown to have been imported around 2010 from France and owned by one gentleman until 2018, when it was purchased by the vendor. The vendor, an enthusiast who regularly restores interesting classics, immediately subject the big Citroen to a full nut and bolt overhaul which has been fully documented by a set of images. During the overhaul, the body was subjected to a complete bare metal strip down and repaint, along with a complete mechanical overhaul to the engine, hydro-pneumatic suspension and braking systems. The interior has also been subject to a complete overhaul, with the vendor advising that he had spent some £4,000 on a replacement curved dashboard. Further improvements after the vendor’s hard work were entrusted to the DS Workshop in Potter’s Bar to set up the suspension, and the entire restoration was completed in 2021.

Upon inspection, ‘175 XUY’ was noted to be a particularly fine example and our short drive to the photography location proved extremely pleasurable, with the suspension performing as expected. The vendor has stated that the car performs ‘excellently’ and has remarked that the rest of the car is also overall ‘excellent’, apart from the bodywork which is showing small signs of bubbling in very small areas due to the car having been used regularly for three years since restoration.

Every classic car enthusiast should own a DS at some point in their life, as they really are a completely unique experience, and this particular example should be at the top of the list for anybody considering one and is offered complete with an original workshop manual and V5C.

Estimate: £35,000 - 45,000*

Reg No: A226 SYX MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1070462A001964

The Mercedes R107-series SL was launched in 1971 to replace the longlived W113 ‘Pagoda’ SL that first appeared in 1963. Plenty of R107s (and SLCs) come to market, but 500 SLs are still a rarity, with only 11,812 built. Purchased new from Normand (Mayfair) Ltd Mercedes-Benz agents by the first lady owner (albeit registered to her husband) on the 2nd November 1983, the 500 SL was finished from the factory in Astral Silver paintwork and was specified with the optional extras of (Grey) leather interior upholstery, anti-lock braking system and air-conditioning. Retained by the first lady owner until 2007 (albeit accounting for two registered owners due to a divorce requiring the change of owners on the logbook), when purchased by the vendor it was as a gift for his wife in 2007. Covering minimal mileage in either ownership, the 500 SL is now offered with a warranted under 20,000 miles from new. Highly original, the Mercedes boasts its original tool kit, jack, spare wheel, first aid kit, Mercedes cushion and the body-coloured hardtop with stand.

Well maintained throughout the current ownership, the SL has benefitted from an air-conditioning re-gas in 2016 by Mercedes-Benz specialist Nick Webster; a new wiring loom by Mercedes-Benz Macclesfield in 2018 costing £2,650; some £4,250 expense at Trevor Farrington, with cosmetic improvement and new exhaust back box; and rear brake calipers, pads and brake hoses costing c.£1,000 with Nick Webster last year. Last serviced at 16,593 miles, the SL is accompanied by a history file that contains the original Mercedes wallet, including the stamped service book and owner’s handbook. Also included in the documentation is the original sales invoice, extensive MOTs back to its first in 1987, a collection of invoices and the V5C Registration Document. With such low mileage and ownership, this highly collectable example boasting a good history file, is surely one to consider!

1953 Triumph Renown Saloon

1973 MG Midget

Reg No: KSG 557

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TDC 1490

The first car to carry the Triumph badge following the company’s takeover by the Standard Motor Company, the Triumph Renown was rushed out within months of the end of the war to cash in on the booming post-war export market. In 1949 the original 1.8-litre engine was replaced by the excellent Standard 2,088cc unit and three-speed column-change gearbox which literally transformed the car, giving 75mph performance. From 1952 a stretched TDC model was available which gave significantly more legroom for rear seat passengers, had a larger rear window and push-button rather than lever-operated door handles.

This Renown TDC dates from 1953 and has been consigned to us from a deceased estate. Finished in striking Black, with a contrasting Cream interior; the Saloon is described by a representative of the vendor’s family as ‘Average’ with regard to the paintwork, ‘Good’ with reference to its bodywork and electrical equipment, whilst the engine, transmission and interior trim are described as ‘Very Good’. Starting easily and running nicely as we moved it around for these photographs, this extremely rare and quirky pocket limousine looks excellent value (considering it is being offered entirely without reserve!). Offered with a large selection of paperwork and history, including the original folding logbook, expired MOT certificates, tax discs and sundry correspondence.

Chassis No: GAN5138726G

When new, the MG Midget was essentially a MkII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car ‘Midget’, BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MkIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor’s capacity had been increased via 1,098cc to 1,275cc. A total of 226,001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100,246 of which were MkIII models.

First registered on the 1st January 1973 and a UK supplied example, this Midget’s desirable features include its British Racing Green paintwork with a Black vinyl interior and Black soft-top and best of all, the attractive and desirable round rear wheel arch design. It’s also from the era of the chrome bumpers. The subject of an extensive restoration a few years ago, it still presents well, with the vendor describing it as ‘in excellent condition’. New panels were fitted as part of the restoration work. It is offered with a history file and the current V5C Registration Document.

Manufactured in 2005, ‘FE05 VDR’ was registered new on the 16th March that year and is one of 374 Mk2 examples. Finished in Black paintwork with complementary Black leather interior upholstery, it is a desirable SE specification example. Entered into the sale along with two other cars from a small private collection of MG Rover cars, the ZT has resided there since 2012 and has had just three former keepers recorded. Offered with c.105,600 miles on the odometer, the MG benefitted from a full service and a check of the brakes, steering and suspension by a classic car specialist in October 2023, at just shy of 100,000 miles, as well as new rear brake discs (costing some £500) by MG specialists Retro Sports Cars. Further improved with a new headlining and front brake discs and pads in 2022, costing c.£1,400, the MG was fitted with a GZWM LPG kit in 2012, which the vendor informs is fully functioning. It is being supplied with a history file that contains the combined service book and owner’s handbook, a collection of MOT history, a large collection of previous invoices, documentation relating to improvements, maintenance and servicing and a current V5C document. These Mustang engined ZTs are notably rare and becoming incredibly collectable.

Manufactured in 2007, the Spider JTS offered was supplied new by E. S. Jones Alfa Romeo of Hawarden, Flintshire, being registered new on the 1st June. Fitted with the 2.2-litre straight-four engine allied to the desirable six-speed manual transmission, the Alfa Romeo is finished in Black paintwork with a Black hood and matching Black leather interior upholstery. Having had just four former keepers, the Spider has covered 95,000 miles from new. Benefitting from a new timing chain kit and balancer belt kit in 2018, the Alfa Romeo has recently received brake attention in 2021.

Accompanied by the book pack in the Alfa Romeo wallet which contains the owner’s manual, guides and stamped service book, ‘PL07 UKA’ has a strong service history with fourteen services (plus the PDI) documented across the service book and further invoices, with the most recent being completed in June 2023 at c.93,000 miles.

1965 Ford Lotus Cortina MkI

Estimate: £30,000 - 40,000*

Reg No: KPU 103C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: BA74EM59102

This 1965 MkI Lotus Cortina, is a right-hand drive example that was restored by marque specialist Eddie Ganderton with extensive details in the accompanying history file. It was to fast road/rally specification in c. 2005. ‘KPU 103C’ is finished in the traditional Lotus Cortina livery of Ermine White with Green side flash and trimmed in Black, with less than 1,000 miles since an extensive bare-shell restoration. It’s understood that the engine includes a correct 4-bolt crank with matching head and block numbers, fully balanced, gas flowed and ported. It also features a period Magard double throttle linkage on Weber 40 DCOE 18s, a 2-inch exhaust with a competition manifold, two Facet fuel pumps in the boot, and Aeroquip fuel lines. This setup is complemented by a competition clutch, 2000E ratios, an original alloy bell-housing and genuine Lotus half shafts which is in keeping with the works rally cars. Also fitted with guniune Lotus rear leaf springs and wedges and mated to a one piece propshaft. The suspension includes adjustable struts and rear Bilstein dampers. Final period touches to this fast road/rally car include a working period Halda, fixed-back front seats and an aircraft clock of the type fitted to Sabre fighter jets of the era.

As is often the case with restored 60-year old cars, it’s possible that all, or part of, a donor shell may have been used to restore this car at some time. Originally leaving the Dagenham factory with the ‘DCK 231C’ moniker, today, it wears registration ‘KPU 103C’ since the c.2005 restoration, making the whole package distinctly evocative. ‘KPU’ registrations became synonymous with competition Fords and the restoration of this car celebrates and replicates the most famous competition Lotus Cortinas, amongst them Colin Chapman’s Lotus Cortina road car ‘KPU 396C’, which was also raced by Jim Clark and Roger Clark’s rally car ‘KPU 383C’. In the last 3 months, the Cortina has had a full service, new plugs, new antifreeze, new oil all round, new battery, plus new tyres.

Reg No: JLO 110K MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1S50350

Last of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine, benefitting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its ‘egg-crate’ grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in Fixed-Head Coupe or Roadster guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (although, a special commemorative run of forty-nine Black-painted Roadsters was released the following year).

Chassis number ‘1S50350’ was despatched new on the 17th September 1971 to the supplying dealer, Charles Follett, London W1 and thereafter was sold to the first owner, a Mrs K. Gaze. It was finished from new in Light Blue paintwork with a Dark Blue interior upholstery, pleasingly the colour scheme in which it is still presented today. Desirable for being both a manual gearbox car and a matching numbers example, ‘JLO 110K’ was lavished with a comprehensive restoration in 2010, including a full bodywork renovation with the bodywork stripped and restored with a focus upon saving as much of the original metalwork as possible. More recently, it has benefitted from a fuel system refresh in 2017 and full servicing, with new spark plugs as well as rear exhaust box and tailpipes in 2022.

Starting readily and both running and driving very well during the recent photography session, the Jaguar is offered with a credible recorded mileage of 81,500 miles on the odometer. Accompanied by a history file comprising the JHT Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, a maintenance chart, operating, maintenance and service handbook, ownership history and a current V5C document. UK-supplied, manual gearbox, matching numbers examples are highly desirable E-Types and with this V12 Coupe being all of these and having been provided a full restoration in its original colour scheme, is certainly one to consider.

The Land Rover Series III was a masterful facelift overseen by Range Rover designer David Bache of a product that continued to sell well across the world, despite increasingly tough opposition from a number of rivals, most notably Toyota. Consigned to us from a private collection, this extremely early 2.2 Litre example of the ‘Series 3’ has evidently been the subject of a comprehensive and professional restoration, with many tasteful and desirable upgrades incorporated.

All galvanised components are finished in a matte Hammerite-style textured paint finish to give the correct, period appearance. The interior was upgraded with a set of high-quality ply door cards and floor boards, along with a rear deck area inscribed with the Land Rover motif, whilst contemporary ‘Exmoor Trim’ seats in black add some comfort and refinement over the originals. Highly practical and ready to use / enjoy, ‘LBJ 343K’ is offered with a canvas soft top that appears brand new and unused, painted side windows, hood sticks and even a tow bar, with electrics! Running and driving faultlessly on our recent photography session, ‘LBJ 343K’ is offered with a handbook, selection of old MOT certificates and a current UK V5c registration document listing just nine previous keepers over the past 53 years.

Manufactured in 1978, ‘YEV 302S’ was supplied new via Braintree Motor Company. Retained in first ownership for almost exactly a year, the Vanden Plas transferred to the second owner in 1979, with this lady owner retaining the Vanden Plas for over thirty years, until 2010. Finished in White paintwork, ‘YEV 302S’ is complemented by Brown interior upholstery which is understood to be pleasingly original, as well as boasting the rear window dealer sticker and original dealer number plates, which are of course BL/Unipart items. Offered now having just c.56,000 recorded and believed genuine miles and only five former keepers, the Vanden Plas presents nicely throughout.

Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, it certainly appears to be well-maintained, indeed, the 1500 was last serviced at 51,559 miles. Offered with a large history file that comprises the book pack in a British Leyland wallet (including product guide and handbook), original sales literature, ownership history, numerous previous MOTs supporting the mileage, a large collection of invoices for work and servicing, old tax discs and a current V5C document, the 1500 also benefits from a stainless steel exhaust, a matching set of radial tyres and the original jack.

At the start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat grand-tourer, the R129 SL, the launch of the Mazda MX-5 encouraged Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism that is locked securely when the roof is closed.

First registered on 1st March 2004 and finished in the rare factory colour of Cubanite Silver with a Grey leather upholstery, this SLK with its 5-speed automatic transmission, displays a mere c.41,800 miles from new. The service booklet entries record a credible mileage of 12,272 in September 2005, 20,691 in October 2007, 40,205 in December 2020 and 40,029 in January 2020. We understand that some maintenance may also have been carried out by a previous owner who was an engineer.

Reg No: AWV 570 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 275532

In August 1934, the Austin Seven range was updated with three new editions – the Opal, the Ruby and the Pearl, known as the ‘Jewel’ range. Chassis ‘275532’ is a notably late Opal having been road-registered on the 12th July 1937. Finished in the attractive colour scheme of Dark Blue with Black wings and running boards, the Seven features a complementary Black interior upholstery, as well as a Black hood and side screens. Subject to a self-evident previous restoration, the Austin was purchased by the vendor as an addition to his private collection and as a first foray into pre-war car ownership. Bitten by the pre-war car bug, the Seven is now on offer due to larger pre-war cars on the horizon for his collection.

Benefitting from much improvement during the vendor’s ownership, ‘AWV 570’ has received new bushes and kingpins by specialist Lawrence Austin 7, as well as a new fuel tank and radiator, all earlier this year. Offered with a history file that includes a collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, old logbooks, and a current V5C document that shows five former keepers. With Opals one of the more scarce Seven variants and benefiting from open motoring for good weather, this example with recent mechanical improvement is certainly one worth considering.

1984 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo

In single family ownership (1984-2024) and just 33,000 miles from new

Estimate: £20,000 - 25,000*

Reg No: A5 ERD MOT: January 2025

Chassis No: SCBZS0T01ECH08959

A landmark model in Bentley’s history, the Mulsanne Turbo (and its Turbo R successor) expanded the marque’s popularity and desirability to an unprecedented degree. Thus, ‘Winged B’ sales went from accounting for three percent of Crewe production in 1980 to fifty percent a decade later! Launched at the 1982 Geneva Salon, the Mulsanne Turbo was substantially more potent than its normally aspirated sibling (300bhp/487lbft vs 170bhp/369lbft). Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7 seconds and 135mph, the luxury saloon could outrun many a sportscar whilst still retaining its ‘drawing room on wheels’ ambience. Hand-built, a mere 322 were completed to right-hand drive, short wheelbase specification.

Finished in the gorgeous and special order combination of Coral Inmont with a Cream Everflex roof and chrome radiator grille, chassis H08959 was supplied new via the SMAC Group of Thorpe Bay, Essex to businessman Edward Coventry Esq. Remaining within Mr Coventry’s extended family until very recently, a handwritten letter on file confirms that the Bentley ‘has been garaged and cherished all its life having never had any paintwork or accident damage’. Warranted to have covered just 33,000 miles from new, the Mulsanne Turbo has been serviced fourteen times by SMAC(x10), P&A Wood (x2), Harvey Wash and Shadow Motors. Recognised marque specialists, bills from the latter two totalled £4,466 and £4,603 respectively and show that particular attention was paid to the luxury saloon’s steering, suspension and brakes. The factoryfitted Magnolia leather upholstery (which extends to the roof lining) and contrasting red carpets remain in excellent order, while the boot and engine bay are highly presentable too. A rare machine made triply so by its low mileage and originality, this Mulsanne Turbo is worthy of close inspection.

1995 Porsche 928 GTS

Estimate: £35,000 - 45,000*

Reg No: T.B.A MOT: June 2025

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ9ZZ55800163

Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche’s front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different from the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company’s first foray into ‘grand touring’ territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of The Year Award. Produced between 1992 and 1995, the 928 GTS was the last evolutionary stage of the 928 model, it featured flared rear wings, a red-light panel at the rear, a rear wing painted in exterior colour, exterior mirrors in the Cup design plus 17” Cup rims as standard.

One of only 2,904 GTS examples manufactured, this 928 GTS is offered with just 2 former keepers recorded, the first being Porsche until April 1998. Entered from long-term ownership in the UK and a credible c.103,000km (c.64,000 miles) recorded, there’s a copy of a letter on file from Porsche stating the GTS was sold by them on 30th April 1998 after its use on the Porsche factory fleet. Ordered in Polar Silver Metallic with the Exclusive Green leather, when researched, the car’s codes show this to be a German market GTS ordered with a Light Rootwood steering wheel, side protection mouldings, tinted windscreen, draped leather front and rear and ordered from the ‘Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’ programme. On file is a one-year Porsche guarantee card from their 1998 sale of the ‘used’ car.

The GTS is accompanied by a history file that includes the book pack with the stamped service book with 11 stamped entries, including Porsche factory stamps. The timing belt was changed at 102,649km (63,783 miles) in April 2012. It is offered with a book pack with the service book and its 11 stamped entries up to 102,616 (63,762 miles), the driving manual and copies of the German Porsche paperwork, invoices and the current V5C.

1951 Land Rover Series I 80in

31 1999 MG F 75th Anniversary 1.8i VVC

Estimate: £14,000 - 16,000*

Reg No: 553 XUH MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 16103248

This is where ‘The Best 4x4 by Far’ started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm and inspired by the war-time Jeep. Reputedly one of just 3,971 Series One 80-in Landies made for the ‘home market’ during the 1951 model year, chassis 16103248 was supplied new to the British Armed Forces. Allocated the armed forces registration ‘33 BD 05’, the compact 4x4 is understood to have been used by the Military Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit. Still sporting a Ministry of Supply plaque which indicates that it was subject to a ‘base overhaul’, the Land Rover was demobbed in 1965. Entering the current ownership over twenty years ago, the Series One exchanged its initial civilian number plate (‘FNU 947C’) for the current one (‘553 XUH’) in 2008. The Blue/Green paint worn by the engine suggests that it is a MOD reconditioned unit, while the vendor believes that the canvas tilt could well be original! Maintained in-house as part of a small collection of agricultural and off-road machinery, the Landie started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Bearing military insignia once more, this delightfully patinated Series One has charm aplenty.

No Reserve*

Reg No: V248 FFG MOT: October 2025 Chassis No: SARRDWBTCXD510160

The MG F 75th Anniversary limited edition (LE) launched at the Geneva Motor Show. A celebration limited edition version of the MG F, it was restricted to a production run of 2,000 and was built in both 1.8i and 1.8i VVC versions. Manufactured in 1999, ‘V248 FFG’ is a desirable VVC example and was supplied new by Crawley Down Group Ltd., being registered new on the 23rd September that year. Finished in Mulberry Red paintwork with Grenadine Red leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the MG is entered into the sale along with two others from a small private collection of MG Rover cars. Offered with just c.78,000 recorded miles on the odometer, the MG F has had just three former keepers. Benefitting from renewed head gasket in 2010 at 63,000 miles, the 75th Anniversary has received an ignition service kit including a new coil earlier this year. Supplied with a history file that contains the book pack, including the owner’s handbook and service book in the MG wallet, the history is documented across the service book and invoices, the most recent of the 10 services being last year at 76,919 miles. Also on file, are a collection of MOTs, a large collection of previous invoices and a current V5C document. These 75th Anniversary LEs are highly collectable and this example is temptingly offered without reserve.

1960 TVR Grantura MkII

Estimate: £6,000 - 8,000*

Reg No: 614 XWE MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 3350

The first production model TVR car, the Grantura debuted in 1958 and went through a series of developments leading to MkI to MkIV and 1800S models, with production ceasing in September 1967. Hand-built at the TVR factory in Blackpool with varying mechanical specifications, the Grantura was also offered in ‘kit form’. Buyers could choose from a range of powerplants which, depending on the model in question, included a choice of side or overhead valve engines from Ford, a Coventry Climax unit, the engine from the MG A and, ultimately, the 1798cc BMC B-series engine. By the middle of 1960, the factory employed forty-three workers and the Grantura MkI production ended with a total of only 100 cars produced. This MkII Grantura, first registered in Liverpool in November 1960 was originally supplied with the MG A engine option plus Canary Yellow paintwork and is known to the TVR Club, appearing on the factory records. Now wearing Cream with a Black vinyl roof, it is a stalled restoration project that has seen recent works that include a brake overhaul, a new radiator, propshaft, wheel refurbishment with new tyres etc. The vendor reports the engine to be ‘in running order’. A fuel tank is supplied, however, it would need fitting and the vendor reports the clutch pipework needs ‘attention’. Offered at auction with the V5C, ‘614 XWE’ represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an early Grantura with great potential as, hopefully, a straightforward restoration project.

1968 Daimler Sovereign

Estimate: £9,000 - 11,000*

Reg No: WLD 762G MOT: January 2025

Chassis No: 1A33641BW

This Daimler Sovereign was registered new in October 1968. Believed to be finished in Old English White, the interior presents as very original and is finished in a complementing Blue. In recent ownership, ‘WLD’ has been used as a ‘regular driver’, along with a collection of other regularly used classic cars and motorcycles. Upon our visit the Damiler started up on the button and drove well having recently benefitted from a recent service with attention paid to the brakes, suspension and the fuel system. The service history suggests the displayed mileage of some 63,978 miles is credible, with 60,102 miles recorded up to 1990, with the car being laid-up in storage for a number of years afterwards.

Chrome wire wheels, recently re-chromed bumpers and raised silver on black number plates contribute to a smart appearance, otherwise, cosmetically the car suffers from a few bubbling spots on the bodywork and a dent on the nearside rear door, but otherwise, it appears very solid. The last MOT was carried out in January 2024 with the odometer reading 62,974 miles and no advisories. Offered with a current V5C, ‘WLD’ would make a very useable classic that with a bit of attention to the bodywork, could be quickly improved upon.

1984 Lotus Esprit S3

Estimate: £16,000 - 20,000*

Reg No: B429 MLL MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SCC085912EHD11860

Launched in 1976, the Esprit was designed by Giorgetto Guigiaro alongside mastermind Colin Chapman. The Series 1, or S1 Esprit, was fitted with a 1,973 cc four cylinder engine, producing 160 bhp. The wedge shaped fibreglass body was mounted to a steel chassis, with the engine planted directly behind the occupants. It was in 1981 when this particular model we have here was released, the Series 3 or S3, with a new more powerful 2.2 litre ‘912’ engine. The engine delivered 160 bhp and 160 lb-ft of torque, and this propelled the Esprit from 0-60mph in an impressive 6.5 seconds. The body was refined again with larger bumpers, more aerodynamic styling and the underside was not left untouched with a new chassis and suspension set up, that gave the Esprit its impeccable handling.

Consigned to us from a private collection, this desirable S3 variant of the Esprit was supplied new via ‘London Lotus Centre’ in November of 1984. Finished in striking Silver with a two-tone Grey interior, ‘B429 MLL’ entered the current ownership in February of 2019. Treated to in the region of £2,200 in parts and £2,800 in labour since then; the S3 had its cam belt and water pump changed in 2019, but has remained on static display thereafter. Works carried out at this time included a rebuild of the suspension and bushing, together with refurbishment of the factory alloy wheels and fitment of quality replacement tyres. The Lotus has remained in a dry garage throughout his custodianship, but “hasn’t turned a wheel in a few years”. During our recent photography session, the two seater started and ran well, but obviously may require minor recommissioning before heavy road use. Offered with a very conservative guide figure, the Esprit is sold with a large paperwork file, comprising the original handbook, extended warranty booklet, numerous tax disks and MOT certificates, together with a large section of invoices / receipts for maintenance carried out throughout the decades.

1960 Bentley S2 Saloon

Among the nicest examples we have encountered

Estimate: £40,000 - 50,000*

Reg No: 929 WML MOT: November 2025

Chassis No: B321BR

According to its accompanying RREC copy build records, chassis B321BR was completed with various ‘special features’ including: a steering wheel mounted headlamp dipping switch, B-post marker lights and electric windows. Supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd to the prosperous textile merchant Herbert Kreuzer Esq on April 28th 1960, the Bentley initially carried his personalised number plate ‘TYE 11’. Registered to the London SW1 pied-a-terre address of E.L. Windsor Esq four years later, the S2 is understood to have subsequently belonged to B.D. Ely Esq and Leslie Wheeler Esq before being bought by the eminent orthopaedic and trauma surgeon Mr John Miles Kingsmill-Moore from Sunningdale Motors of Ascot on December 9th 1992. Initially entrusting the saloon’s maintenance to Derek Jarman, Mr Kingsmill-Moore then used marque specialist Royce Service & Engineering to ensure that the chances of him breaking down en route to an operating theatre were as minimal as possible. To this end the power steering and suspension were overhauled, the brakes rejuvenated, an exchange engine obtained directly from the Crewe factory and the heater matrix renewed etc. Substantially improved since it was last retailed by the renowned dealer Frank Dale & Stepsons for £51,000 in July 2021, chassis B321SR now rides on Avon tyres all round and has had its original Tan leather upholstery and Wilton carpets deep cleaned. Indeed, the hides have been so successfully rejuvenated by the ex-Connolly Bros craftsmen at Leathercare that they almost look to have been replaced. Having covered less than 10,000 miles on its factory replacement powerplant (the associated cost of which totalled £14,194.72) and had far more spent on it than most surviving S2s, this delightful Bentley is worthy of close inspection as its detailed, chronological history file which lists maintenance as far back as 1965! A special car.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC

1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Cabriolet

Estimate: £11,000 - 13,000*

38

Reg No: D316 SNB MOT: September 2025

Chassis No: WDB1260452A283803

Supplanting the 500 SEC as flagship of the Mercedes-Benz C126 range, the 560 SEC was launched at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Credited with some 300bhp and 325lbft of torque in non-catalyst guise, the 560 SEC boasted four-speed automatic transmission as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 150mph, the high-performance coupe proved a rewarding and enjoyable drive thanks to its all round independent suspension (complete with back axle acceleration stabiliser), four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering. The fastest, most powerful Mercedes-Benz of its generation, the 560 SEC was a strong seller with some 5,299 despatched worldwide in 1989.

Finished in Nautic Blue, complemented by a Grey leather interior this handsome 560 SEC is also fitted with smart AMG-style alloy wheels. Originally specified with seat heaters for left and right front seats plus headrests in the rear ‘D316 SNB’ was the subject of a £2,403 mechanical refreshment in 2024. At some point the vendor has lost the history file for the car, however, with invoices for work carried out in current ownership still on file. As recently as September, the SEC benefitted from a new MOT which was passed with no advisories. It comes to the sale, offered with current V5C.

Reg No: CCN 661B MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 40667W104772

The Corvair, launched in 1959. With its uni-body and rear air-cooled flat-six engine, it stood out from the crowd. Originally introduced as a Sedan, the Convertible was launched in 1962. Leaving the factory as a Monza Series 900 Spyder iteration of the Corvair, this 1964 example benefits from the revised rear factory suspension which addresses the previously known vulnerability. ‘CCN 661B’ was imported by the vendor from Texas in 2021 and wears a wonderfully period Gold, it was the subject of a restoration by the previous owner, who had carried out the work as a present for his wife. The under-appreciated rear engined Chevy benefitted from a new manual soft-top and the engine bay tinware was replaced and repainted. Originally a turbo model (‘Spyder’ option), at some point the turbo has been removed, often said to be more economical and less temperamental in ownership. The engine has also benefitted from the change from OE mechanical fuel injection to an electric fuel pump. Although exempt, there has been an MOT that expired on 11th August 2024 and is said to ‘run’ great with none of the usual oil leaks. At the time of consignment, the heater fan and the tachometer weren’t working. The Corvair is being offered with a collection of invoices, manuals for parts and assembly, a technical guide, a workshop manual, a collection of invoices, electric mechanism for the hood and the current V5C.

1996 Jaguar XJ6 3.2

Just c.47,000 miles from new

Estimate: £6,000 - 8,000*

39

Reg No: XJI 4115 MOT: November 2025 Chassis No: SAJJFALG3BJ768888

The X300 was stylistically intended to evoke the image of the more curvaceous series XJ. The front of the car was redesigned significantly to return to four individual round headlamps that provided definition to the sculptured bonnet. Mechanically, it was similar to the XJ40 that it replaced.

Registered new on the 1st of January 1996 and originally registered ‘N461 WOE’, the XJ6 offered has the 3.2-litre straight-six engine with automatic transmission. Finished in the attractive and desirable colour combination of Carnival Red Metallic paintwork with Mushroom leather interior upholstery, 16-inch wheels complete the exterior appearance. A low mileage example having covered just c.47,000 miles from new, the Jaguar has had seven former keepers and has recently benefitted from being fitted with two rear exhaust boxes, as well as brake discs and pads in 2020 and cooling system attention in 2018. Only on offer due to the purchase of a Sovereign, the Jaguar is offered with a history file that contains documented service history, previous MOT and MOT history, invoices for servicing and parts and a current V5C document. Rated by the vendor as being ‘very good’ throughout (bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, and interior trim), it is accompanied by the apt registration number ‘XJI 4115’. Supplied with a no advisory MOT certificate until November next year.

2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster

Estimate: £16,000 - 20,000*

Reg No: AE57 KVT MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: SCFBE04B88GD08515

Manufactured in 2007 and first registered on the 22nd October 2007, this gorgeous Aston is presented in Onyx Black with matching Obsidian Black interior. ‘AE57 KVT’ is a desirable Roadster with the much-loved sportshift gearbox. Showing just c.74,000 miles warranted miles from new, this particular example boasts desirable factory options including Bluetooth, cruise control, Aston Martin Premium Audio, heated memory seats and powerfold memory mirrors. It is understood that the car was first supplied by Stratstone of Wilmslow Aston Martin and there are a total of seven Aston Martin main dealer service stamps on file with the latest services performed by Quirks Car Company and latterly Dorset Sports Car, Aston Martin Specialists. There are seven previous owners recorded on the V5C Registration Document.

Included with the vehicle are a number of documents including the original handbook, as well as a large folder containing invoices for other services and works carried out. The car also comes accompanied by original Tracker fobs and the vendor rates the car as ‘very good’ all round, with it evidently having been well cared for throughout its life.

PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale, the registration on the car is ‘AE57 KVT’.

1992 Nissan 300 ZX Twin-Turbo

Estimate: £7,500 - 9,500*

Reg No: K911 EGM MOT: November 2025

Chassis No: JN10RGZ32U0001682

Introduced in 1989, the Z32 version of Nissan’s 300 ZX sportscar was among the first production machines to be designed with the assistance of a Cray-2 supercomputer. Altogether faster and more capable than its Z31 predecessor, the newcomer was equipped with all round independent suspension, power assisted rack and pinion steering and vented disc brakes. Powered by a 2960cc DOHC V6 engine with variable valve timing in either normally aspirated or turbocharged guises, the Z32 could also be had with a choice of fivespeed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The twin-turbo model was credited with developing 276bhp and 274lbft of torque, reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds and 155mph. Imported from the car-friendly climate of Japan and purchased by our vendor as an investment back in 1999; he used the car for a mere three months before placing it into dry storage. Following more than two decades of slumber, ‘K911 EGM’ started and drove well during our recent photography session and should be a straightforward and rewarding recommissioning project. Finished in Red, with a Black interior, this Z32 has covered a very modest c.55,000km and presents well, with just some minor wear to the front splitter. Offered with the seldom-seen original roof panel storage bags; the car is correctly UKregistered on a current V5C document and represents a relatively rare opportunity, with the number of unmodified 300ZXs dwindling in recent years.

2001 Chevrolet Corvette C5

Estimate: £14,000 - 16,000*

Reg No: G5 VTT MOT: May 2025

Chassis No: CY20228G

‘G5 VTT’ is believed to have been a Japanese-market example, first registered in May 2001. It is also thought to have spent some time in the US, as indicated by a Carfax report which evidences servicing in Iowa in 2016. It is then believed to have returned to Japan, before being imported into the UK in June 2019. The odometer shows approximately 55,437 miles, although this is not warranted. The instruments are export specification with a speedo that toggles from MPH to KMS etc.

The Corvette’s last MOT test was conducted on 14th May 2024 at 54,098 miles (87,063km), resulting in a first-time pass with no advisories and the most recent maintenance was carried out in June 2024 at 54,871 miles by AJR. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change plus a general vehicle inspection. Prior to this, the car was serviced in February 2024 at 53,287 miles and in March 2023 at 49,800 miles, both of which were routine maintenance services. The seller notes that the brake fluid has also been changed during their ownership. It will be supplied with its owner’s manuals and service book, as well as the manual for the Pioneer system, two sets of keys with fobs, its import paperwork and the V5C.

2006 Bentley Continental GT

Low mileage and ownership example

Estimate: £12,000 - 15,000*

Chassis No: SAXXNWAZEXD172323

The Mini 40 was launched in 1999 to mark the 40th anniversary of the production of the Mini. Based upon the Cooper S, only 800 examples were manufactured, with just 250 for the UK market. Suitably luxuriously appointed, the ‘40’ boasted a full-leather interior, brushedalloy dash, and additional instruments. The driver’s airbag and front seatbelt tensioners were other features unheard of when the original had been launched, while externally, a large bore exhaust finisher, twin driving lamps, body-colour wheel-arch extensions and 13” Minilite-style alloy wheels shod with low profile tyres, enhanced the look, as did spotlights and a bonnet badge with an embossed gold crest. A UK-supplied example, ‘T775 GAN’ was sold via Faraday Rover, Newbury, first registered on the 30th April 1999. Finished in Island Blue (1 of 50) with Prussian Blue leather upholstery, the 40 was purchased into the current Mini enthusiast and serial-Mini owner’s hands in 2016 and has attended numerous Mini shows and events with them. Offered with c.53,650 miles from new, this limited edition Mini has just three former keepers. Pleasingly unmolested and presented in the original specification, the 40 is offered with a history file that includes the original book pack in the Mini wallet containing the owner’s handbook and stamped service book, MOT history, and a current V5C document, as well as the original jack. A very rare Mini variant, especially as a UK-supplied example, that would grace any collection.

Reg No: LH56 ABN MOT: Feburary 2025 Chassis No:SCBCE63W16C038428

Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque’s first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the 2+2-seater GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph.

Manufactured in 2006, this example was supplied new via Jack Barclay Bentley, Mayfair, one of the world’s oldest Bentley dealers, being delivered to the new owner in October 2006. Finished in the attractive and subtle colour combination of Metallic Silver Tempest paintwork with Beluga Black leather interior upholstery, the Bentley was fitted from the factory with a host of features as standard, such as keyless entry, a digital sound package, a Bluetooth telephone system with voice control, navigation system, heated seats with lumbar support and ‘easy entry’. The Continental GT ‘LH56 ABN’ displays a low mileage of c.32,306 miles and is offered with the owner’s handbook, MOT history, the Bentley service book and a documented service history with 4 services with Bentley, the rest being independent. The last 2 services were carried out by renowned marque specialist Gordon Dale of Surrey, with an invoice for just over £2,000 in August this year. It will be supplied with a current V5C document and two keys.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 260 E

Reg No: H742 TKU MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: WDB1240262B314342

The W124 is a mid-sized vehicle platform with German high levels of engineering and build quality, allowing coverage of high mileage with well-renowned reliability. Much of the 124’s engineering and many of its features were advanced automotive technology at its introduction, incorporating innovations that have been adopted throughout the industry.

‘H742 TKU’ was manufactured in 1991 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being road registered on the 19th February that year. Finished in the striking and rare colour of Almandine Red paintwork with Cream and Beige cloth interior upholstery and burred walnut veneers, the 260 E was specified new with an electric sunroof, paintwork preservation, headlamp cleaning equipment, heated rear window, folding front armrest, and a leather steering wheel and gear selector. Offered with a modest c.108,000 miles on the odometer, the Mercedes-Benz has done this in the hands of just two former keepers. Due to have a fresh MOT certificate in time for the sale and will be driven to the auction, the 260E is rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ bodywork, paintwork, engine, and gearbox, as well as being ‘good’ in regard to electrical equipment and interior trim. A refined and practical modern classic saloon that will no doubt make a great entry level classic, and temptingly is being offered without reserve.

1960 Standard Ensign Saloon

No Reserve*

Reg No: YKV 51 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: EN13875DL

An entry level model, the Standard Ensign with its 1670cc engine, was announced in October 1957 and had been restyled by Michelotti. The Ensign shared its body with the Vanguard Series III, but had a more simple specification in various respects, including a mesh front grille and a simplified instrument panel and dashboard. Despite the generally lower specification, the Ensign was the first Vanguard-based car to have a four-speed gearbox. The gear lever was moved from the column to the floor, and overdrive was optional.

Entered from a deceased estate, ‘YKV 81’ entered its current ownership in 2001 and has subsequently been dry stored and used sparingly for local events. Finished in Blue, with a matching vinyl interior; the saloon is described by a representative of the vendor’s family as ‘Average’ with regard to the Paintwork, ‘Good’ with reference to its Bodywork, Electrical Equipment and Transmission, whilst the Engine and Interior Trim are described as ‘Very Good’. Described as “highly original throughout”, ‘YKV 51’ started on the first flick of the key during our recent photography session and should only require minor recommissioning (following a short period of static storage since the owner’s demise). Offered with a healthy history file, comprising the car’s original folding logbook, current V5C, MOT certificates, original handbook and period receipts.

Estimate: £16,000 - 20,000*

Reg No: YUY 370H MOT: March 2025

Chassis No: GCN-1318G

According to the BMIHT Heritage Certificate on file, chassis G-CN1/318-G was despatched on the 12th February 1968 to Windmill & Lewis and was specified in Mineral Blue over a Black interior trim. Little is known of the early history of the MGC, however it is known that by 1992 it was in a rather dilapidated state and in need of restoration. The Classic Transport Company of Wolverhampton were entrusted with the refurbishment works to the car, and invoices on file from them are backed up by a photographic record of works undertaken, which included panel working such as new sills, fresh paint, new interior trim and a new hood, rechroming work and a complete overhaul of the power unit. Once back on the road, the two-seater was kept well maintained and the condition of the now thirty year old restoration is testament to the high quality of the works performed. Acquired by the current keeper in 2018, the car was used sparingly for and an invoice on file dating to April 2024 confirms a full oil and coolant service, new batteries plus works to the carburettors and ignition system. Upon inspection, the vendor noted that ‘YUY 370H’ is a particularly good example and remarked that it has remained in ‘very good’ condition all round. Now offered for sale due to the vendor having a number of other classics that are taking up his time,

‘YUY 370H’ will make a fine sports car for any prospective new owner.

Reg No: D997 EBJ MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WBADK920501883744

The first E28 5-Series Alpina derivative, the B9 3.5 was in production from November 1981 – December 1987. Foreshadowing BMW’s own E28 M5, the Alpina was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and 153mph thanks to its high performance engine, uprated suspension, enlarged brakes and front / rear spoilers. Just 64 of the 577 B9 3.5 cars made were reputedly to UK, right-hand drive specification (with only 18 of those being manual). Increasingly collectible, genuine B9 3.5 examples can fetch £60,000 or more.

Based on a BMW 518i (E28), ‘D997 EBJ’ was converted into a B9 3.5 lookalike sometime ago. Indeed, sourcing a similar Alpina-style front air-dam, steering wheel, boot lid spoiler, ‘Deco’ stripe kit and alloy wheels today would cost a fair proportion of the guide price. First UK registered on August 1st 1986, the saloon was originally specified with Alpine White paintwork, cloth upholstery, power steering, five-speed manual transmission and a tilt / slide sunroof. Already highly convincing from a cosmetic perspective, an enterprising new owner could doubtless have a BMW M30 straight-six engine installed should they wish to complete the Alpina illusion. Offered for sale with history file and fresh MOT certificate.

2005 MG ZT 260 V8 SE

24,500 miles from new and unique colour scheme

Estimate: £11,000 - 13,000*

Reg No: BL54 MVW MOT: March 2025

Chassis No: SARRXGLGB4D000130

49

After a long wait, the rear-wheel-drive MG ZT made an appearance in September 2003. Completely re-engineering the standard ZT shell to accommodate Ford’s superb modular Mustang 4.6-litre V8 engine which produced 256bhp and allied to a five-speed Tremec TR-350 manual transmission. An AutoExpress report on the ZT 260s declared the Mustang engine cars as having ‘bags of torque, a well-engineered chassis and an intoxicating soundtrack, making this one of MG Rover’s strongest products’. Limited numbers were produced with 187 Mk1 (pre-facelift examples) and 374 Mk2 examples understood to have been produced.

Number 130 is one of the rarer pre-facelift examples and is understood to have been manufactured in late 2003, remaining unregistered until being first registered on the 24th January 2005. Finished in striking Copperleaf Red paintwork, it is thought to be one of just three in this colour and is understood to be the only one of these trimmed in Oxford Cream leather interior upholstery. In desirable SE specification, it is a low mileage example having covered just c.24,500 miles from new and has been in the possession of just three former keepers. Entered into the sale along with two others from a small private collection of MG Rover cars, the ZT still boasts having its original tool kit, including the jack and spare wheel.

Benefitting from four new tyres in 2021, the ZT was recently provided with a full service and check of the brakes, steering and suspension by a classic car specialist in October 2023, some 2,500 miles ago. Supplied with a history file that contains the combined service book, owner’s handbook, a collection of MOT history, a no advisory MOT certificate until March next year, previous invoices and a current V5C document, as well as two keys. Presenting nicely and running and driving well during our recent photography session, these Mustang-engined ZTs are notably rare and becoming incredibly collectable.

Estimate: £24,000 - 28,000*

Reg No: 704 YUJ MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 41059

Created by the previous owner between 2011-2012, for use in VSCC trials and speed events, this is an extremely attractive aluminium bodied Triumph Gloria Special, fitted with a Wade R020 supercharger and built by Chris Compton of Compton’s of Welshpool, known for the repair and restoration of Alvis’ for over 40 years and with a reputation for his craftsmanship. Finished in Grey and complemented by Black spoked wheels, the Special is VSCC registered.

Regarding the build, there’s a handwritten invoice note on file for £6,041 for the work to create the Special, that also states that other components were sourced elsewhere, such as the Beaulieu Autojumble and builder Chris Compton. The notes states the chassis as having been sourced from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club, the body made by Compton, as well as the trim by him and the supply of the wheels was from Compton’s own stock. Electrics, instruments, distributor, dynamo, fan, carburettor, fuel pump were hand-picked from Beaulieu. There are a number of images on file that show some parts of the build. Mechanically, there is a £2232.60 invoice dated 16th August 2010 from The Coventry Boring and Metalling Co. Ltd that relates to work to have the Coventry Climax blocked stitched, machined to fit liners, crankshaft re-ground, conrods remetalled, main bearings remetalled and the flywheel refaced. A Derek Chinn Precision Engineering invoice dated 10th April 2012 for £3,059.95 details work to overhaul the Wade R020 supercharger. There is a further invoice for £430 on file dated 14th February 2011 from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club Ltd for the purchase of an engine block, crank, cam and crank shafts, gearbox and manifold.

This Chris Compton built supercharged Special was bought to trial, however, a change of circumstances means a reluctant sale for the vendor. The Special is offered at the sale with a collection of invoices, photographs on file and a current V5C Registration Document. There is also a collection of spares available by separate negotiation.

51 2009 Honda Civic Type R Championship White Edition

1 owner and only c.3,300 miles from new

Estimate: £26,000 - 30,000*

Reg No: ML59 XEJ MOT: October 2025

Chassis No: SHHFN23809U000304

The Championship White Edition cost an additional £1,140 above the standard Type R and featured an all-White colour scheme and a limitedslip differential. The paint was chosen to pay homage to the Type R’s heritage and the differential ensured a more accurate driving experience. Very well received; one review described the Championship as “one of the most agile and engaging hot hatches around, offering masses of grip and precise, communicative steering”, placing it above a Mountune Focus ST and Golf GTI Pirelli in a group test. No wonder they proved popular; with approximately 600 Championship White Edition examples sold in the United Kingdom.

Supplied new by ALM Garage Honda of Macclesfield to its first and only owner, ‘ML59 XEJ’ was registered new on the 30th November 2009 and is number ‘0029’ of the Championship Editions. Benefitting from the GT pack (which came standard on Championship cars) consisting of cruise control, dual-zone climate control, electric folding mirrors, cooled airbox, fog lights, and automatic wipers, the Type R has been used incredibly sparingly throughout the vendor’s ownership, with a mere c.3,300 warranted miles from new having been amassed across the fifteen-year custodianship. Now offered for sale directly from the sole owner, the Civic is a completely unmolested and original example.

Accompanied to sale by the original book pack with owner’s manual and service book presented in the Honda wallet, as well as purchase documentation including the purchase invoice and order form, numerous previous MOT certificates showing excellent advisory history and V5C document showing no former keepers. In addition, ‘ML59 XEJ’ boasts the original dealer number plates, rear windscreen sticker and original accessories. Rated as ‘excellent’ throughout (comprising engine, gearbox, electrics, bodywork, paintwork, and interior), finding another with this mileage is surely unrepeatable and this example would be a great addition to any collection!

1936 MG SA Tickford Drophead Coupe

Single family ownership from new

Estimate: £30,000 - 40,000*

Reg No: DJO 309 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SA-1175

Originally of 2026cc, the overhead-valve Wolseley Six had been enlarged to 2,288cc by the time SA production commenced and was further stretched to 2322cc and 75bhp in 1937. Only available as a four-door Saloon at launch, it was subsequently offered as a Tickford-bodied

Drophead Coupé and Charlesworth-bodied Open Tourer. By the time production ceased in 1939, 2,738 SAs of all types had left the factory.

Chassis ‘SA-1175’ was supplied to Salmons Tickford for clothing in Tickford Drophead Coupé coachwork, and was thereafter first registered on the 21st December 1936, being supplied new to a J. S. Adams Esq for some £226. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Blue paintwork with a complementing Dark Blue leather interior upholstery and a hood trimmed in Beige, the SA is complete with notable features including trafficators (with additional flashing indicators for safety) and a rear-mounted spare wheel. Being retained in the first ownership for some thirty-six years before being bequeathed to the first owner’s nephew (the vendor) in 1972. Therefore, a single-family ownership and just a twoowner example from new, while in the vendor’s ownership, ‘DJO 309’ has received restoration work with Tattenham Corner Motors (in 1984) and TC Restorations (in 1991).

Used regularly by the vendor throughout his ownership, until sadly his health deteriorated in 2022, the MG is now on offer having been off the road for a couple of years and will therefore require a degree of recommissioning before pressing into road use, although the vendor does inform us that the MG starts and drives. Rated by the vendor as having ‘good’ engine, bodywork, and paintwork and ‘average’ in regard to interior trim, gearbox, and electrical equipment, it is offered with a history file that contains the original sales invoice, invoices for maintenance, servicing, and restoration works, previous MOT certificates and a current V5C document.

1996 Saab 9000 Aero Turbo

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: P672 CCY MOT: October 2025

Chassis No: YS3CH68M4V1002165

In 1984, the Aero was the fastest Saab to date. The model offered an exclusive interior and exterior styling, featured a paint-matched body kit and spoiler, eight-way Recaro-designed heated sports seats, sports suspension and 16-inch Super Aero wheels. Manufactured in 1996, the 9000 offered was supplied new by Cardiff Saab being first registered in the United Kingdom on 19th September that year. A desirable Aero Turbo model with the 2,290cc straight-four 16v turbocharged engine allied to an automatic transmission, this example is finished in Dark Blue paintwork with a Grey leather interior and a wooden veneer dashboard. Offered having covered some 130,000 miles from new, the 9000 has had a modest six former keepers. Amassing the majority of its mileage during the early stages of its life, the Saab had covered 105,000 miles by 2007 and possesses an excellent service history, during this time being serviced at least annually between 1997 and 2007 with twelve services completed, all by main agents. Most recently serviced in 2022 at 129,000 miles, the 9000 is accompanied by the original book pack with a stamped service book and owner’s manual, as well as a current V5C document. Wearing its mileage very well, the 9000 ran and drove well during the recent photography session and is offered with a ‘no advisory’ MOT until October 2025.

1967 Bentley T1

No Reserve*

Reg No: TIA 1967 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SBH1954

At launch, it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6230cc, though this was enlarged to 6750cc during 1970. Early cars employed the same GM automatic transmission as the S3, but this was superseded by the Turbo Hydramatic system from 1970 onwards. The car’s famed ‘magic carpet ride was achieved courtesy of a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroen. Initially, it featured self-levelling at both ends, but this was deleted from the front in 1969. 1 of only 1,711 Bentley T1s were sold, which makes this example a much rarer and more exciting proposition.

One of just 1,711 Bentley T1s produced, this example was first registered on the 17th January 1967, and has been the subject of a mechanical refresh this year at a cost of £6,448. Also benefitting from a stainless-steel exhaust there are written notes of a previous restoration on file. On file is a printed pack from Bentley which contains a ‘history trail’ of the car, with documents such as the original specification, a sales invoice and pages of history. With an appropriate ‘TIA 1967’ (‘T1 - A 1967’) registration, the T1 is offered with MOT history from 1990-2003, the extensive history file, an original sales brochure and a current V5C Registration Document.

1988 Porsche 928 S4

1976 MG B Roadster

55

Estimate: £14,000 - 18,000*

Reg No: F457 XWP MOT: None

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ92ZJS840533

Finished in the classic combination of Silver with Black leather upholstery, this UK market (C16) example was supplied new via Charles Follett Ltd of London to G. MacKay Esq. Equipped with an electric sunroof, Blaupunkt stereo and automatic transmission, the 2+2-seater is warranted to have covered some 77,000 miles from new. The twenty stamps in its accompanying service book begin and end with Porsche main dealer entries. Entered from a deceased estate, the late owner became the Coupe’s seventh keeper when he bought it from SJ Specialist Cars Ltd of Wigan on 30th March 2019. Despatched to Porsche Centre Chester at the end of that same year, ‘F457 XWP’ had attention paid to its fuel system, exhaust, undertray, rear windscreen wiper spark plugs, headlamp washers and brakes (new discs and pads all round) plus a service at a cost of £6,519.34. Little used since returning to the same garage for another bout of maintenance at 77,104 miles on June 8th 2023 (£969.43), the 928 S4 was noted to be losing coolant during our recent photography session. An enticing prospect despite the need for some recommissioning, this handsome, low mileage 928 S4 is offered with the V5C Registration Document, original book pack, Porsche-branded in-car telephone and assorted old MOTs and invoices.

Estimate: £8,000 - 10,000*

Reg No: PJN 222R MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN5-411914G

For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst USA Federal-compliant Black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from September 1974.

First registered 25th August 1976, this MG B Roadster is finished in Pale Primrose complemented with a Black interior and hood. Previously restored by M.S Associates of Norfolk, at some stage the Roadster has seen a conversion from the American Federal rubber bumpers to wear chrome bumpers as the pre September 1974 cars were, complementing the paint scheme well. Inside, a wood-effect dash kit has been fitted over the later Black plastic panels. ‘PJN’ was the subject of a mechanical refresh in the last 2 years, when the brakes were renewed, along with the head gasket and rear axle thrush washers. The wheels are the ‘sporty’ Minilite-style. Offered with a tonneau, a collection of invoices and the current V5C Registration Document.

57 1954 Bentley R-Type Drophead Coupe

1 of just 9 R-Type chassis clothed to Design 552

Estimate: £20,000 - 30,000*

Reg No: FCH 880 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B24WH

A decidedly rare motorcar, ‘FCH 880’ is understood to be one of just nine Bentley R-Type chassis to be clothed by Park Ward to its Design Number 552. A handsome four-seater Drophead Coupe with a power roof, well-resolved bustle boot and flowing wings, it was singularly expensive (especially when compared to a contemporary Aston Martin or Jaguar). Supplied new to Winston F. Martin Esq of the Healthguard Knitwear Company, the Bentley is thought to have spent time overseas before being re-registered with the DVLA during 1991. Further believed to have belonged to the noted collector and business tycoon Peter de Savary Esq, the R-Type entered the preceding family ownership some twenty-four years ago. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Drophead Coupe helped earn its keep by appearing in the 2005 film ‘The Wedding Date’ and the 2008 TV mini-series ‘Four Seasons’. Showing just 71,000 unwarranted miles to its odometer, ‘FCH 880’ appears to have covered circa 200 of those since last passing a MOT test. Got running and driving this Spring after several years’ slumber thanks to the fitment of an aftermarket starter motor and jury-rigged fuel system, the Bentley will require additional mechanical work prior to any road use. Although running and driving, it will doubtless require further mechanical work and servicing etc. Cosmetically, the Grey leather upholstery, wood veneers and soft-top are all in good order (albeit the power mechanism for the latter is not currently functioning). However, the plating has worn thin to the top of the radiator grille and the paintwork is heavily microblistered. A known Bentley collector, the vendor purchased this scarce and very elegant coachbuilt R-Type via our April 24th 2024 Buxton auction for £37,125. However, declining health has prompted him to rethink his plans hence its return to market. A wonderful opportunity especially for the more ‘hands on’ enthusiast!

1975 Iso Lele Sport

One of just 12 RHD Lele Sports

Estimate: £35,000 - 45,000*

Reg No: 880 CTU MOT: September 2025

Chassis No: 500293D

A credible rival to the likes of the Aston Martin DBS and Ferrari 365GT 2+2, the Iso Lele was even more exclusive. Phased out when Iso closed its doors in December 1974, some sources suggest that just 317 cars were produced of which a mere 12 being of a right-hand drive Sport specification, according to the Iso and Bizzarrini Owner’s Club. The Sport was fitted with an integrated chin spoiler and lightweight seats and bumpers.

One of just 12 right-hand drive Lele Sports built. ‘500293D’ is a later iteration of the Lele and therefore powered by the Ford 5.7 litre Cobra Jet V8 engine mated to a 5-speed ZF manual gearbox. Finished in Bright Red with a Black leather interior the speedo displays some 34,651 miles at the time of consignment. The interior features air conditioning, a full-length electric sliding roof, electric windows and power steering, which was an extra on this late car. The Lele was the subject of a refresh c.2017, including a repaint with the screens out, a new headlining and new window rubbers. There is a receipt on file for work carried out in May 2017, by Rock Valley Automotive in Bristol, to skim the cylinder heads, fit a new head gasket, a Hi-Flow radiator and thermostat. In addition, there’s been a brake overhaul, also a new clutch assembly, starter motor, water pump, copper lines and a service that included, oil, oil filter, plugs and leads etc, all at a cost of £2,985. We are also advised that the Lele Sport has benefitted from a new fuel pump with the tank also removed and relined. Offering Italian exotica with simple US V8 power, this is a rare and exciting motorcar. The Lele was MOT tested in September 2024 at 34,642 displayed miles and runs until 18th September 2025. It comes to auction with a collection of invoices, a DVLA vehicle ownership print-out, a copy of the owner’s manual and a current V5C.

1990 Bentley Turbo R

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: A15 FGM MOT: June 2025

Chassis No: SCBZR04A1LCH31772

First registered on the 1st January 1990 as ‘G185 UYP’, the current registration number is ‘A15 FGM’. During current ownership, the vendor, an enthusiast and member of several motoring clubs, has spent time on maintenance and has ensured the following works have been carried out to maintain and benefit the car. They include a new battery, a new rear spring, replacement of both rear suspension spheres, new filters, a thermostat, the idle control valve has been serviced, a refurbishment of the windscreen wiper motor and a new windscreen washer pump fitted. All the electric windows have been serviced with new drive couplings. It should be noted that both the seat ECUs will need replacing. The sealed beam headlights have been replaced with halogen units.

Inside, a new digital radio with Bluetooth connectivity has been added as a more modern upgrade of the system, however, the original Blaupunkt radio is included in the sale. The air-conditioning could be updated with an R134 compressor included with the car, which is not currently fitted. The most recent oil and filter change was at 89,417 miles. There is an amount of old MOT history present, along with some old tax discs. The Turbo R is also being offered with a current V5C, two keys, the book pack, invoices and the V5C. The vendor has now decided to let a new custodian enjoy the car.

1990 Ford P100 V8 Custom

Completely overhauled and fitted with a tuned Rover V8

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: G956 CAD MOT: October 2025 Chassis No: TW2PXXCPTPKK60792

In 1988, the P100 was rebodied with a new Ford Sierra-based cab and tray. Engine choices were the Sierra’s 2.0 Pinto carburetted petrol engine, and a 1.8 turbo-diesel. The range was now built in Portugal for the European market to a Ford UK design. A strong seller, particularly on the UK market, production ceased when the Ford Sierra was replaced by the Mondeo.

An original UK market P100 that was first registered in March 1990, little of the early history is known about this now relatively rare machine until around 2017, when it was stripped down to the bare chassis and comprehensively overhauled and uprated with a Rover 3.5 Litre V8 engine mated to a five-speed gearbox with a Ford XR4i rear end. The truck is now presented in a striking Candy Apple Red colour which is present upon not just the now overhauled body but also the complete chassis. Around this time, the then owner fitted Recaro diamond stitched Alcantara and leather bucket seats to suit the ‘race look’. The vendor advises that it was built as a drift / drag machine and is confident in the overall mechanical condition of the truck and describes it as ‘excellent’.

2008 Mercedes-Benz SL 350

1999 Mercedes-Benz C240 Sport

62

Reg No: YK58 OUE MOT: September 2025 Chassis No: WDB2304582F153799

In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and front end evoking the classic 300SL with a large grille, a prominent three-pointed star and twin “power domes” on the bonnet. It also features new headlights, which give the car the modern look it enjoys with an optional “Intelligent Light System” and a new speed sensitive steering system. Manufactured in 2008, this early facelift SL 350 example was road registered new on the 17th October that year to its first owner and has been retained by that lady since, and until recently has always worn a private registration number. Well specified from new with five-spoke alloy wheels, heated electric memory seats, Mercedes COMAND APS, climate control, tyre pressure sensors, heated screen wash system, bi-xenon headlamps, and Parktronic, the ‘YK58 OUE’ is finished in Obsidian Black paintwork with Black leather interior and ‘Black Ash’ wood trim, the roof features a Panoramic sunroof. Offered now having covered a warranted under 35,000 miles from new, the SL has benefitted from a recent new battery as well as a full service in September this year and was provided with an MOT at the same time which is passed without any advisories. Accompanied by a history file that contains the book pack, collection of service invoices, current V5C document, and two sets of keys. A wonderful balance of sport, technology, and luxury, low mileage and ownership examples of the second-generation R230 are potentially a smart investment for the future.

No Reserve*

Reg No: T916 BPO MOT: October 2025 Chassis No: WDB2020262F839319

Mercedes-Benz’s internal designation for its compact saloon from 1993-2000, was W202. As the first generation of the C-Class, replacing the 190 series/W201 in June 1993, the C-Class sedan was Mercedes’ entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Production reached 1,847,382 over model years 1994–2000. Classic, Elegance, Esprit and Sport trim levels were offered, the Sport featuring lowered and uprated suspension, alloy wheels, sport seats, a carbon effect dash, leather rimmed steering wheel and a sunroof, being aimed at the more sporting driver.

Manufactured in 1999, this C240 Sport was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered on the 30th June that year. Specified from new with the air conditioning, outside temperature sensor, electric windows all round, speakers front and rear, outside temperature indicator, front folding armrest and the Sports package, the Mercedes is finished in the rare and desirable Vivianite Green with Black cloth interior upholstery. Entering into current registered ownership in January 2002 (although equating to two registered keepers due to the transfer from business to private keeper), the C240 is offered now having covered a modest c.72,000 miles. Starting readily and running and driving well during our recent photography session, the Sport is accompanied by a history file including a ‘no advisory’ MOT until October 2025.

1935 Ford V8 Rumble Seat Cabriolet

Estimate: £30,000 - 35,000*

Reg No: AVB 526 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 2118337

Ford introduced the Model A as a replacement for its long-running Model T in 1928, but just four years later, the Model A itself was history. To upstage rival Chevrolet’s six-cylinder, Ford offered its first V-8 engine in 1932. Though V8s were nothing new, this was the first time one was to be offered in a low-price, mass-produced car. Streamlined styling began in 1933, progressing even further with bodies that were longer and wider with new grilles and 17-inch wheels. The design, credited to Phil Wright at Briggs Body Company, is considered one of the most desirable standard production models of the 1930s by today’s collectors. The cast iron flathead V8 was tremendous value for money, offering 75hp from its 221cui displacement in 1933.

This 1935 Ford V8 Cabriolet is believed to have been first registered on 12th October 1935 and is a UK manufactured, right-hand drive example, that was built at Ford’s Dagenham factory. The Cabriolet features a rumble seat (dickey seat) design with a 4410cc flathead V8 allied to a 3-speed manual transmission. The flathead is running with Offenhauser heads and a Stromberg 97 carburettor. Subject to much expense with marque specialists Royal Kustoms of Poole, Dorset by the previous owner, ‘AVB 526’ has recently been fitted with a new hood at a cost of £1,750. Upgrades include electronic ignition, an electric fan, a new coil, a high compression/high torque starter, a re-cored radiator, an electric fuel pump, electronic ignition, electric wipers, spotlights and a rear fog light and modern indicators front and rear, although the semaphore indicators remain fitted. Maintenance has been carried out recently, with new tyres fitted in the last few years, attention being paid to the brakes, an oil change and 24 new studs on the heads in 2022 by Royal Kustoms. Serviced in current ownership, it is offered with a collection of invoices, a Ford V8 manual, workshop manual and the V5C Registration Document.

1969 Daimler V8 250

Subject to a recent £35,000 restoration

Estimate: £25,000 - 30,000*

Reg No: DVG 679G MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: P1K 5124VW

First registered on the 11th April 1969, ‘DVG 679G’ was first supplied in the attractive colour scheme of Light Blue over a Grey leather interior, and was specified with Automatic transmission. Little is known about the early history of this elegant V8, however it came into the vendor’s posession in 2018. An avid enthusiast and restorer, the vendor immediately embarked upon a comprehensive body and mechanical overhaul into the original specification which was completed in 2024 and documented via a set of photographs provided digitally in addition to the history file. Some £35,000 was spent on the works (for which the hours of labour was mostly conducted by the vendor himself and is not recorded) and a list has been provided with some invoices documenting this spend. The first task during the restoration was the bodywork which included new sills and wheel arch repairs and post metalwork, the body was sent for paint at a cost of £7,500. Inside the car the original, now re-connolised Grey leather components have been complimented by reconditioned walnut trimmings. The same level of attention was given to the mechanical elements of the car and the mighty 250 V8 was overhauled along with the automatic transmission. The Daimler’s suspension components were completely overhauled, and the rear end was treated to new leaf springs and freshly reconditioned back axle. The entire braking system was also overhauled and uprated with four pot callipers on the front. Finally, a new set of chrome plated wire wheels now compliment the glistening body.

All of this work has made this V8-250 in our opinion one of the finest examples in existence today and the vendor has confirmed this by stating that it is ‘excellent’ all round today. During our inspection and short drive to take photographs during the consignment process, ‘DVG 679G’ performed very well indeed. Now offered for sale, it has just been subject to a post-restoration detail by Auto Art Detailing and is supplied with a history file including an owner’s handbook, original Daimler service books, the UK V5C and the aforementioned list confirming expenditure.

1968 Triumph TR250

Recently emerged from a ‘chassis up’ restoration

Estimate: £24,000 - 28,000*

Reg No: CVG 967F MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CD7319L

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis CD/7319-L was completed to left-hand drive, North American Export specification on August 6th 1968. Despatched to Walter Hagan & Company GmbH of Krefeld, Germany the following month (presumably for delivery to a US serviceman stationed in that locale), the Triumph was repatriated from North Carolina during December 2020. Various photographs on file show that the TR250 was stripped to a bare chassis thereafter prior to being extensively restored by its only UK registered keeper. A retired engineer with experience of bodywork repairs, he converted the sportscar to right-hand drive as well as repainting it Old English White, re-trimming the front seats / door cards and replacing the dashtop, hood and carpets. The engine was treated to a new timing chain, bearings, gaskets, piston rings, fuel / water pumps and front / rear crankshaft oil seals, while the rear axle was uprated with a higher final drive ratio. The brakes, suspension and fuel system were all gone through and a new stainless steel exhaust fitted. The ignition system was upgraded and the number stamped into the 2.5-litre straight-six engine pleasingly matches that quoted on the Heritage Certificate. Entrusted to renowned marque specialist TR Bitz for a check over last August, ‘CVG 967F’ had attention paid to its rear hub units and springs. Yet to be fully run-in after its rejuvenation, this smart TR250 comes with a plethora of parts invoices which must total a decent chunk of the guide price! Seemingly as clean underneath as it is on top, this handsome Triumph comes with a V5C Registration Document, history file and TR5 pedal box (the one currently installed is better suited to someone with small feet).

1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sedanca de Ville

Estimate: £20,000 - 25,000*

Reg No: BPA 375 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GGA 68

Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20hp model. Although the newcomer was primarily aimed at owner drivers, many examples were nevertheless sold to customers with chauffeurs. The four-speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer’s traditional righthand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear, suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo-assisted. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six OHV unit used in the 20hp. Now displacing 3,699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed of up to 75mph. The increased capacity of some 570cc gave useful extra power and allowed coachbuilders of the day to experiment and offer more intricate body styles without impeding performance.

As before, the choice of bodywork for each 20/25 was to the taste of each individual customer, and Freestone & Webb, Gurney Nutting, Park Ward, Thrupp & Maberly, Mulliner and Hooper were among the many coachbuilders selected to clothe these fine motorcars. Usefully faster than its 20hp predecessor, the model remained in production until 1936 by which time some 3,827 had been sold, making it the company’s bestselling model between the wars.

A notably elegant example with Park Ward Sedanca de Ville coachwork and division, chassis GGA 68 was supplied new to Lieutenant Colonel S.S.G Cohen and has been in long-term family ownership since 1980. Understood to have had low previous ownership the Rolls-Royce displays 55,917 miles and is said to be a ‘well-maintained’ example that was the subject of a re-wire in 2009. Benefitting from matching chassis and engine number, GGA 68 is offered with buff logbook, collection of invoices, old MOTs plus tax discs and a current V5C document.

Announced at the London Motor Show of 1955, the bodies were built by Pressed Steel, shipped to Thrupp & Maberly in London for painting and trimming and then moved to the Rootes plant at Ryton-on-Dunsmore for final assembly. The Rapier had inherently excellent handling and was quickly adopted for rallying. A Works Rapier finished fifth overall on the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally.

‘DVU 709C’ is a Desirable Series V 1725cc Rapier, originally registered in Manchester and finished in Autumn Gold with a contrasting Black interior. In current ownership since 1993 and subsequently prepared to be used as a ‘club rally car,’ being extensively campaigned by the vendor and his wife since, with many successes (evidenced in history file). Subject of restoration works over the years, including an engine overhaul, bodywork restoration and bare metal repaint, it’s been fitted with sensible ‘performance‘ upgrades including a Weber carburettor, brake servo, Kenlowe fan, roll cage, Lotus Cortina 5 1/2J steel wheels etc, in addition to ‘Halda’ timing equipment. The paperwork file includes a number of ‘rally’ awards, original Rootes warranty card and dealer’s handbook. The vendor describes ‘DVU 709C’ as ‘in good running order’ and says that he hopes the new owner will have as much enjoyment for years to come as both he and his wife have had over the last 30 years!

Chassis No: AR115410006155

Introduced in 1970, the second series of Alfa Romeo’s iconic Spider Veloce was initially powered by a 1779cc version of Alfa Romeo’s jewel-like four-cylinder ‘twin-cam’ engine, the second series cars were upgraded to 1962cc during 1971. With a quoted 132bhp and 134lbft on tap, the 2000 Spider Veloce was reputedly capable of over 120mph. Great fun to drive, the model evolved through third and fourth series remaining in production until 1993.

Displaying a highly credible 56,500 miles, this example was imported into the UK in 2021, with the Spider originating in the southern US states of Texas and Oklahoma. Upgrades and improvements include a stainless-steel exhaust that was carried out in current ownership, renewed electrics, a recent battery, refurbished calipers and re-foaming and reupholstering. A service was carried out at c.54,000 miles. Indeed, paperwork from Texas and Oklahoma shows the mileage rising. In recent ownership, the Spider has been used for a European tour through France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and finally through to Lake Garda, Italy in 2023. The vendor has just completed a Yorkshire Dales and Moors tour this year. Accompanied by a 4-season weather cover, a history file that includes both import and American export paperwork and a small collection of previous invoices. It is offered with a V5C Registration Document.

1998 Porsche Boxster

Reg No: SIG 6283 MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98ZWS606013

The Boxster was unveiled in late 1996 and was the first Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a Roadster. It was penned by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay. At launch it was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000.

First registered on the 11th May 1998 and with five recorded former keepers, this Boxster is finished in the rare and handsome colour combination of Arena Red Metallic complemented to a Sahara Beige leather interior. There are invoices on file for maintenance and servicing with the same garage, Biddulph Exhaust and Tyre of Stoke-on-Trent from 2009 to 2018. Work completed (invoices on file), has come to in excess of a £3,000 with the garage over the years. Work has included the replacement of the alternator, water pump and the auxilliary belts and pulleys in May 2018, an MOT and check over in April 2016, a ‘full’ service, a new rear shock absorber, a new front and two rear drop links and an MOT in March 2015, a service and brake pads in March 2012, plugs, coils and servicing in February 2010 and a service in 2009. The Boxster is offered with an owner’s wallet and handbooks, a collection of invoices and old MOT history and the current V5C Registration Document.

1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

Estimate: £12,000 - 15,000*

Reg No: YNF 836S MOT: June 2025 Chassis No: 10704462037914

The R107 was always more of a ‘grand tourer’ than an out-and-out sports car. Powered by a 4520cc SOHC V8 engine, the 450SL model was quoted as developing some 225bhp and 278lbft of torque. A strong 120mph-plus performer, it remained in production until 1980. Manufactured in 1978, the 450SL offered was supplied new to the car-friendly climate of South Africa. Finished in Silver Metallic paintwork with complementary Black leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the Mercedes is also accompanied by a body-coloured hardtop and is a factory air-conditioning example. Residing in South Africa for the vast majority of its life, the SL arrived on British shores in early 2024, but not before benefitting from a paint and bodywork refresh and fuel injection system refresh in 2022, as well as further benefitting from a new stainless-steel exhaust. UK registered since arrival as ‘YNF 836S’, it is offered now with the equivalent of c.124,000 miles on the odometer. Boasting a ‘no advisory’ MOT until June 2025, the vendor rates the R107 as ‘excellent’ throughout (in regards to bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment). Accompanied to sale by the original stamped service book documenting service history during the Mercedes time in South Africa as well as the current V5C document.

1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

1 of just 1 of 1,583 RHD examples

Estimate: £60,000 - 70,000*

Reg No: DXJ 513C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1E20692

Triumphantly launched at the March 1961 Geneva Salon, Jaguar’s ‘150mph’ E-Type was the sports car that (a) put the swinging into the ‘swinging sixties’, (b) no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed ‘the most beautiful car in the world’, and (c) transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. Though not designed as a racer, the E-Type was nevertheless a direct descendent of the all-conquering D-Type and thus had motorsport embedded in its DNA. Equipped with all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes, its handling and roadholding proved more than a match for most rivals. Just one month from launch Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori drove the Equipe Endeavour E-Type (‘ECD 400’) to victory at Oulton Park and some fifty-six years later the model remains a force to be reckoned with in historic racing. Updated during August 1964, the Jaguar gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the Big Cat’s beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,583 RHD E-Type 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes were made.

Sporting the Manchester-issued number plate ‘DXJ 513C’, chassis 1E20692 is understood to have been extensively restored whilst belonging to its longest term keeper who retained possession from 1988 – 2019. Accompanying photographs indicate that the Jaguar was comprehensively stripped before being treated to a thorough mechanical and cosmetic renovation. Finished in the iconic combination of British Racing Green with Suede Green leather upholstery, the latter carries sufficient patina to suggest that it could have been factory installed. The cylinder head is stamped with the same number listed on the chassis plate and the inlet and exhaust manifolds both appear to be original factory components. A regular show attendee over the years, the E-Type still carries stickers for the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ and Jaguar Drivers’ Clubs. Fitted with new wire wheels prior to entering the current ownership, the

two-seater has been further improved more recently courtesy of a bare metal repaint and carburettor overhaul. Believed but not warranted to have covered some 124,000 miles from new with paperwork on file dating back to the 1980s, the E-Type is also accompanied by a workshop manual, collection of SNG Barratt invoices, assorted old MOTs and numerous other bills. An original, right-hand drive E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe in an appealing colour scheme, Jaguars rarely come more collectible.

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!” Supplied new to the United Kingdom on the 1st August 1998, the 911 offered is finished in Arctic Silver paintwork with Blue leather interior upholstery and is a desirable early example with manual transmission and without sunroof. Specified from new with the Sports Package which included sports suspension, electric sports seats, LSD, and 18’’ two-piece sports wheels, the 911 was also specified with option ‘09991’, the ‘Manufacture for Exclusive - Programme’ and is believed to have been fitted with the Aero bodywork from new. Entering current ownership in 2004, the 911 is offered now having covered some 98,000 miles. Benefitting from a full engine overhaul (including re-sleeving by AutoFarm Porsche), one new radiator, refurbished alloys, and the air conditioning matrix replaced at c.71,000 miles by Bowling-Ryan Ltd., the 911 is offered with the Porsche book pack wallet, including the stamped service book, invoice for the BowlingRyan overhaul, MOT history, a current MOT until August 2025 and a current V5C document, as well as the original tool kit and warning triangle.

It is supplied with a V5C and two keys.

1939 Singer Nine Roadster

1948 Bristol 400

74

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: Unregistered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 27677R

Singer and MG were great rivals during the 1930s competing against each other on race circuits, trials stages and showrooms alike. Vying for sales with the MG T-Series, the Singer Roadster retained what was essentially the same two-door, swept tail silhouette throughout its sixteen year history (1939-1955) albeit with various stylistic tweaks along the way. The Singer Nine Roadster was a variant of the Bantam Singer Nine. The open four-seater Nine Roadster appeared on the 6th March 1939 with a lightly tuned version of the larger 1074 cc overhead camshaft engine already seen in the Bantam Nine plus its three-speed gearbox.

This attractive little pre-war Roadster was exported to Jersey in 2001 and was previously UK registered as ‘HEH 623’. Understood to have previously been restored by Trevor Cornelius (Singer Spares) of Kent ‘27677R’ has been in current ownership since 2019, with the vendor previously having the gearbox overhauled, a replacement clutch fitted, the prop shaft refurbished and 5 new tyres. Offered with a copy of repair manual, Green logbook, collection of invoices and old MOT certificates The Singer will need to be registered once again in the UK with the DVLA however, the vendor has paid the VAT liability in the shipping costs onto the mainland with Channel Seaways. Hopefully, the original registration number will be retained in the process of registering.

Estimate: £16,000 - 20,000*

Reg No: JNF 506 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 400-1-378

First registered in May 1948, Chassis 378 had one previous recorded owner until 2002 when the previous owner purchased it. In 1973, it was sent for a complete restoration which included having the engine, gearbox and suspension completely overhauled for which there are invoices from Bristol Cars. The interior was re-trimmed and the carpets, headlining and leather work were refurbished. Unfortunately, shortly after the previous owner purchased the car it suffered some fuelling issues which resulted in a small, but luckily contained, fire around the carburettors which burnt the paint off the bonnet cowling. The car was subsequently taken to a classic car repair garage in Kent who got the car back to running standard and the vendor then put the car away for 20 years until we pulled it out of its resting place in dry storage in 2023. This did, however, preserve what must be one of the most original Bristol 400s available. The current owner, who acquired it from H&H in 2023, initiated repairs, finding the engine in good condition. Following refurbishments and reassembly, the car is said to run well. The vendor has chosen to move this fantastic Bristol on for another prospective owner to enjoy and improve as they see fit. This rare example comes with a good documentation folder that includes lots of previous MOTs, the driver’s handbook and workshop manual, a spares list and a number of invoices for work that has been carried out on the vehicle over the years.

1972 BMW 3.0 CS

In current family ownership for c.40 years

Estimate: £45,000 - 55,000*

Reg No: WKY 557K MOT: September 2025

Chassis No: 2211851

BMW’s so called ‘new class’ compact Saloons and Coupes manufactured between 1962 and 1975 quite simply saved the company from extinction. The 2800CS was supplanted by the 3.0CS and 3.0CSi in 1971, for which the engine was bored out to give a capacity of 2986cc. In CS guise, the silky-smooth six-cylinder engine had an output of 180bhp, which was sufficient to rush the handsome Coupe to 60mph in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of over 120mph.

In current family ownership for some 40 years, the 3.0 CS has been owned by the vendor and his brother since 1983. Supplied new by Lazenby Garages Ltd, Leicestershire in 1972, it is understood to have covered the displayed c.116,000 miles since 1972. The 3.0 CS presents as an older restoration that was initiated by the vendor and carried out c.1987 at their chosen garage, at a total cost of £6,444.45 (over £17,500 today) and included £3,400 in labour, £2,561.50 for parts, £482.95 in paint and a detail of the paint once complete. Although 37 years have passed, it is worth noting the extent of the 1987 restoration work included new metal and new panels where necessary. This included inner wings, a front panel, headlamp back panels, floor pans, inner sills, inner wheel arches, the rear bulkhead, axle mounts, shock absorber turret tops, rear quarter panels, rear lower valance panel, new door skins and the use of Waxoyl in cavities and stone-chip applied to vulnerable areas. The restoration concluded with a paint in the original colour, believed to be Polaris Silver Metallic. The original service book is included along with original green logbook, period BMW Europa service station map, Haynes manual and various service information, a collection of invoices dating back to the 1980s, a collection of MOTs back to the 1980s and a garage prepared description of work done. The 3.0 CS is offered with the original service book, an original old green logbook and current V5C on file.

77 1957 Jaguar XK150 Convertible Uprated to 3.8 ‘S’ Specification

No Reserve*

Reg No: KSJ 164 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S834794DN

According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate supplied with the history file, chassis number S834794DN was first supplied via Jaguar Cars, USA specified in left-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé form. Little is known of the early history of the Jaguar, however it is understood to have been imported to the UK in 1990 and would remain in project state until it was sold by The Carriage Company of Silsoe, Beds in 1996 to a Mr Woodward of Royston. The Carriage Company was also given the task of the restoration for which there are a plethora of invoices on file between 1997 and 1998 which total approximately £40,000. During this period, not only was a bare-chassis overhaul performed, but the interior was re-trimmed, the 3.4 Litre engine was rebuilt, suspension and brakes overhauled and other components were upgraded including the fitment of power steering, a five-speed gearbox and triple carburettors.

Fast forward to 2011 and via a further keeper, the car was purchased by the current owner, Mr G Lucas MBE. During his ownership, the car was fitted with a 3.8 Litre engine with ‘straight port’ cylinder head, although the 3.4 litre unit accompanies the car to the sale. Unfortunately, Mr Lucas’ health condition is such that his family have opted to sell the Jaguar with the last job that he did, being to strip the sump off to check the bearings which wasn’t completed, and as such is presented in non-running condition.

Upon inspection, we noted that the XK has been very well cared for prior to Mr Lucas’ health decline. Although in non-running state currently, it should be an easy task to return the car to tip-top mechanical condition. The bodywork has also survived well, thanks to dry storage, however it should be noted that there are some scratches and bubbling in small areas that may need addressing. ‘KSJ 164’ is a fabulous opportunity for any enthusiast to return to a running order and use as a true drivers’ car in line with its healthy specification.

2008 Locost 7 GTS

Estimate: £6,000 - 8,000*

Reg No: RO08 RYO MOT: May 2025

Chassis No: 20703120768

A kit car inspired by the classic Lotus Seven, the Locost 7 concept was developed in the mid-1980s as a budget-friendly alternative to similar kit cars. It initially used the chassis of a Triumph Spitfire but later evolved to have its own ladder chassis design.

Declared manufactured in 2009, the Locost offered was road registered on the 2nd June that year, although it is believed that it only properly took to the road in 2013. ‘RO08 RYO’ utilises a 1800cc 16-valve Zetec engine which benefitted from a full overhaul in 2010 at the cost of over £1,100 including re-boring the block, new big end and main bearings, ground crank, head work and a Kent cam kit. The Zetec engine uses Honda Hurricane carburettors and an Odyssey wiring loom and is allied to a five-speed gearbox and Sierra differential, with the GTS specification also including aeroscreen, harnesses and bucket seats. Covering some 5,100 miles since the completion of the build, the GTS has benefitted from full front suspension renewal and new front wings in 2022 with MAC Motorsport (costing c.£3,700), as well as re-wiring work in 2023. Immense fun for relatively low outlay, this Locost is a great candidate for anyone looking for a kit car for next spring/ summer with minimal mileage since completion!

Reg No: E914 NOW MOT: May 2025 Chassis No: SAXXFWNM1BD641639

First registered in the UK on 1st November 2016, this Austin Rover MG Metro was for a Maltese customer and despatched to them from Muscats Motors Ltd Msida, Malta (original despatch note on file), being first registered in Malta on 27th May 1988. Leading a charmed life in the sun, the MG Metro resided in Malta (a right-hand drive market) until 2016, subsequently being exported from the Mediterranean island at the end of June 2016 and displaying some 40,500 miles (65,287km recorded on the Maltese documents). Back in the UK the MG Metro was registered in the mainland UK with its current registration number ‘E914 NOW’ before reaching its new owner, where it remained with them until spring 2023 before being subsequently sold to our vendor. Now with two former UK keepers recorded, the interior is in ‘Good’ condition, the seats have survived well with some of the trim showing the usual sagging often seen on 1980s cars. Subject to cylinder head work in c.2017, the MG has also benefitted from a new exhaust along with new suspension units. Offered with a collection of paperwork, invoices, MOTs, a copy of some Maltese export paperwork and the current V5C, this is an opportunity to purchase an MG Metro that spent many years in a forgiving car environment, that is still RHD and UK specification.

Chassis No: SALLDVBS7AA785154

First registered on 14th September 2009, this visually imposing Defender 90, with its external ‘off-road’ accessories, has a ‘ready for adventure’ appearance. Displaying a credible 137,000 miles on the odometer, this 2009 Defender has benefitted from upgrades that include a ‘ghost immobiliser’ and a ‘Clifford’ alarm system, a front and rear dash cam, solar panels connected to leisure battery, roof rack, spot lamps, bull bars, headlight guards, 18” Gloss Black sawtooth-style alloys and a snorkel. There are invoices for over £8,000 spent in servicing and maintenance over the last 3 years. This year, some £1,173 was spent on rust treatment to the off-side ‘A’ post and rear panel. £680 was spent on the handbrake and prop shaft bolts and £1,945 spent on a ‘major service’ (at 131,000 miles), greased props, drive flanges, universal joints and lock stops, renewed front differential oil, replacement rear shocks and poly-bushed rear trailing and triangle arm bushes. In 2022, £1,505 was spent on the clutch assembly, handbrake shoes and prop nuts, £4,059 spent on the rear axle, exhaust, wheel bearings, brake system and a ‘major service’. There are two service books tracking nine main dealer services up until c.91,000 miles, it has since been serviced every c.10,000 miles by Land Rover specialists. It is being supplied with numerous invoices, an owner’s handbook, the two service books and a current V5C.

1965 Morris Mini MKI Rally Car

No Reserve*

Reg No: Unregistered (formerly EGE 675C) MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: M/A2S4S/294488

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 requires total restoration or could be left in its current state as a fascinating display piece.

2002 BMW Z3 250 California

Spyder

Evocation

Alloy bodied recreation of a 1960s icon

Estimate: £60,000 - 70,000*

Reg No: PA02 KXB MOT: June 2025

Chassis No: WBACN52020LJ41141

‘PA02 KXB’ is not to be confused with alternative fibreglass-bodied evocations. It is one of three cars based on the recreations seen in the 1986 film ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ and constructed using hand-rolled aluminium sheet metal. Crafted in 2023 in South Africa by Cape Town’s M. R. Skunkworks, the aim of the project was to produce a very well-detailed evocation based on modern, reliable and - above all - engaging BMW Z3 running gear. Using the running gear of a well-maintained 2002 Z3 3-litre, whose straight-six engine produced 230bhp performance, the power is virtually identical to the original engine’s output.

With beautiful hand-rolled aluminium bodywork, it is understood to be one of just three produced in aluminium, the evocation is a well-detailed car with good body proportions and features such as the chromed air vents. Finished in the beautiful hue of Pine Green Metallic paintwork, the interior is trimmed in Saddle Tan leather upholstery with the interior featuring electric seats, a re-worked dashboard with classic-style Veglia dials and a digital odometer, three-spoke wood-rimmed Nardi wheel and is enclosed by a Beige hydraulic hood, with a matching Beige tonneau cover.

The suspension and brakes have both been overhauled as part of the recreation process and the evocation benefits from having a five-speed manual gearbox. In the well-presented engine bay, you will find quilted under bonnet sound-deadening with the ‘soundtrack’ provided by quadexhaust pipes. There are solid stainless-steel bumpers front and rear, as well as chrome wire wheels. Accompanying is a service book with several entries for the Z3, running to 83,000km (51,380 miles), with the evocation covering 100km running-in while still in South Africa (it was serviced again towards the end of this period), before being fitted with new zero’d MPH odometer upon completion for shipment to the United Kingdom, which at the time of photography had just 32 miles showing since the build’s completion.

Coming to market as an essentially ‘box fresh’ evocation, the ‘California Spyder’ is accompanied by a no advisory MOT until June 2025, as well as branded handbooks and key fob and a separate immobiliser fob. A high-quality evocation in desirable aluminium bodywork, this is not an opportunity to miss for those without multi-millions spare for the real deal!

1926 Derby 9hp Grand Sports Special

Estimate: £38,000 - 45,000*

Reg No: WC 1431 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GS 138

Founded in 1912 by Bertrand Montet, Derby was initially engaged in general engineering and after the Great War dealt in War-surplus HarleyDavidson motorcycles. From 1921, the firm began producing lightweight Voiturettes (Cyclecars) that were fitted with the Harley Davidson V-twin motorcycle engines with which they had become so familiar. Very quickly the marque started to produce larger models and would fit these chassis with four-cylinder, overhead valve 1,098cc engines sourced from Chapuis-Dornier. Competing with the likes of Amilcar and Salmson, Automobiles Derby exhibited a British bodied 9hp ‘Sports’ model at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show which was a direct descendant of their 9hp Racer that had competed in the Brooklands 200 mile race. Unfortunately, Derby failed to attract much interest at the show, but it would inspire the imagination of one Vernon Balls. Balls was a Gentleman motor racer who had trained as a motor engineer and made a name for himself by purchasing the remaining stock of Mors spares, and his business would handle all repairs and servicing for the firm right up until 1923. Later in that year, on a business trip to Paris, Balls purchased an Amilcar for sporting use and saw great potential in French cyclecars in British sporting events, and merely a few years later, his firm would become the main sales agent for Derby and market them under the name ‘Vernon-Derby’ from 1927. The 9hp Grand Sports Special was a slightly more updated version of the 9hp Sports Model, and featured more elegant bodystyling with louvred side-panels upon the chassis, wrap-around cycle wings and a four-speed gearbox in place of the earlier three-speed unit.

Dated to 1926, little is known about the early life of chassis ‘GS 138’, but it managed to survive some fifty years before its discovery by the previous owner in France in a dilapidated state during the late 1970s. According to the vendor, the previous owner was a very good friend of his who was particularly fanatical about the Derby marque. The rare sports car is said to have been found to be remarkably complete despite having been disassembled, so the decision was made to perform a full restoration. A chemical engineer by trade, the previous owner had nearly every steel

part treated by dipping them in vats of Jenolite Rust Converter. After treatment, the chassis and body were prepared in Red Oxide and painted in its resplendent red by a professional coach working firm, which has survived in very fine form to this day, testament to the rust treating process that the restorer swore by.

Mechanically, the Derby was treated to the same level of attention and a full overhaul was performed on the engine, which was re-bored and fitted with new pistons whilst the crankshaft was re-ground and mounted within freshly white-metalled bearing shells. The cooling system was uprated with the addition of a water pump, which fed a freshly re-cored radiator. The gearbox, front axle and back axle were completely overhauled and the electrics were also subject to attention, with a new wiring loom fitted to power the reconditioned lighting system and period gauges set into the dashboard. Finally, a complete replacement interior was constructed with a high-quality black leather used to trim the off-set seats.

The Derby would remain in the previous owner’s possession up until 2019 as part of his private collection and was used sparingly whilst being maintained to a very high standard before the vendor, himself a longterm enthusiast of pre-war cars, would acquire it directly from him. Described by the present owner as having survived in ‘very good to excellent’ condition all round, old age has unfortunately now forced his hand with his decision to sell.

The Land Rover’s 1595cc, 50bhp four-cylinder Rover engine might seem under-powered today, but its 80lb-ft of torque was impressive. There was permanent four-wheel drive, leaf-sprung suspension and not much else for your £450 when it was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. The very first Land Rover registered was one of the Amsterdam Motor Show cars on 21 May 1948, and full production began at Solihull shortly after. In 1949 the British Army placed its first order. It wanted 1,878; so many, that the decision was made to paint all Land Rovers in the Army Dark Green. In 1954, Solihull made its 100,000th Land Rover and by the time the Series I was replaced in 1958, nearly 200,000 had been produced.

This Series 1, from 1955, has resided in current ownership since 2008. In that time the current vendor has refreshed the look of ‘SFO 926’ with new paintwork throughout the body. The wheels have also been refurbished and repainted. Currently wearing a recently added ‘Bikini’ top; light and open enough for summer driving, the Series 1 is also offered with a full canopy frame without the fabric and a rear tonneau cover. Inside, new seats have also been added in the vehicle’s current ownership. ‘SFO 926’ is offered with a V5C document.

1974 Triumph Stag

Estimate: £14,000 - 16,000*

Reg No: BNC 828M MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: LD31593BW

Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc/drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype).

Offered here is a desirable UK-supplied, home market right-hand drive example of the Stag. Finished in Magenta with a recent Black mohair soft-top it has previously seen an extensive mechanical overhaul. Benefitting mechanically from the fitment of a stainless-steel exhaust and electronic ignition, we are advised the Stag received a replacement engine some 15 years ago, the engine being an original Stag 3-litre. The brakes are new (discs, pads, calipers, brake pipes, master cylinder, new rear drums, shoes and wheel-cylinders), there’s new rear shocks and springs, a new fuel tank, headlights, a new soft-top, a replacement alternator, the carburettors have been overhauled, there’s a new fuel pump and a reconditioned rack and pinion steering rack fitted. Subsequently, it has been extensively restored with new wings, door bottoms and bonnet plus the rear arches had already been renewed prior to the vendor’s purchase. Chrome-work has been re-chromed, other than rear bumper, which was unsalvageable, so a stainless-steel replacement has been fitted. Offered with a current V5C.

Reg No: XFO 908 MOT: Exempt

86 1952 Leyland Beaver

Chassis No: GA14019DL

First registered in June 1961, this Triumph Herald 1200 has a rather interesting history, notably owned by the artist Craigie Aitchison. As an artist, his work was notable for crucifixion scenes, small dogs, horses, and still lifes. Similar to painters as varied as Piero della Francesca, Milton Avery, and William Blake, Aitchison’s paintings have a mystical quality. Born on January 13, 1926 in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, he studied law at Edinburgh University before attending the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Aitchison was known to drive around London in his Triumph Herald, which he had hand-painted Pink and White, alongside his Bedlington terriers in the back of the car. These terriers were a staple of his work.

Purchased from the Craigie Aitchison estate sale in 2012, the next owner would keep the ‘XFO 908’ for six years, and the following owner for two before that, it was acquired by the current owner on 26th July 2020. Following its purchase, the car joined another Herald with its owner, who had the interior reupholstered to match the paintwork. Last serviced in March 2024 and in current ownership for the last four years, ‘XFO 908’ would benefit from some attention to bring it back to its former glory. Overall, this presents an opportunity to acquire an example of this much-loved model with an interesting history.

Chassis No: 504471

After the Second World War, for fifteen years or so, Beavers were often seen as part of wagon and trailer outfits, their lorries exuding strength and reliability. Beaver production lasted until 1971 when it was phased out in favour of the ‘500 Series’ Buffalo. Manufactured in 1952, the Beaver offered was first registered on the 2nd July that year and is understood to have been originally used as an NHS mobile X-ray vehicle before passing to Newcastle University School of Medicine. Finished in the attractive colour scheme of Dark Blue and Red paintwork, the Leyland was in previous long-term ownership with a company specialising in vintage lorry funerals, with the Beaver used regularly on some four hundred occasions, with some notable journeys including to the Isle of Wight, Scotland, and in the snow from the ‘Beast from the East’.

Upon the retirement of the previous keeper from the funeral business in 2019, the Leyland entered the ownership of another specialist funeral directors, in which it has remained in service with since. Benefitting from a new clutch and full gearbox overhaul in 2022, the Leyland has covered less than 1,000 miles since. ‘MXV 610’ is due to be driven some 45 miles to the sale, and is offered with a comprehensive spares package, and a current V5C document.

1958 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

Estimate: £70,000 - 90,000*

Reg No: 551 XWD MOT: July 2025 Chassis No: A1210428501142

The 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straightfour unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced.

Factory finished in the rare and attractive hue of Ivory (DB608), this particular example was one of just 2,722 190SLs completed during the 1958 model year. Thought to have begun life in Europe - if only because of its KPH speedometer (and other metric instruments)the two-seater subsequently migrated to the USA. Acquired by its penultimate American keeper in 1994, the Mercedes-Benz emerged from an extensive refurbishment eleven years later. As well as a bodywork restoration and repaint, the work encompassed an engine overhaul, interior re-trim and a soft-top and sundry re-chroming. The gauges were renovated, the brake servo / water pump / shock absorbers replaced and the wheel bearings repacked etc. A popular upgrade, the original Solex carburettors were removed in favour of Mikuni units (which deliver more power as well as easier starting and smoother running). Resident in Maine between 2015 and August 2018 when it entered the current ownership, the 190SL journeyed across the Atlantic that same year. Kept in climatecontrolled storage since arriving on these shores and road registered with the DVLA as ‘551 XWD’, the two-seater was entrusted to Southern Classics of Twickenham some four/ five months ago where it was treated to a thorough brake system overhaul, replacement propshaft coupling, alternator mounting kit, new engine mounts (x4) and fresh anti-roll bar bushes (x8) plus a new chrome starter button at a cost of £5,813.06. Believed to retain its

original carpets, the vendor has also ordered a new 14-pc set to be included in the sale (or post-sale depending on production time and shipping). Passing an MOT test on July 2nd 2024 with ‘no advisories’, the 190SL has barely been driven since. Indeed, it has covered minimal miles in the 19 years since the big 2005 renovations. Still presenting well as an older restoration and seemingly ready to be enjoyed by a new owner, ‘551 XWD’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

1988 Jaguar XJ-S V12

Convertible

Low mileage and ownership example

Estimate: £18,000 - 22,000*

Reg No: A20 XXX MOT: May 2025

Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DA151756

Supplied new by Hatfields Jaguar of Sheffield and first registered on the 14th June 1988, this XJ-S is believed to be one of the first 1,000 V12 Convertibles produced. Finished from the factory in Signal Red paintwork with Magnolia leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the Jaguar also has a Black hood cover. The first owner, a gentleman residing in the Derbyshire village of Bamford, purchased the XJ-S as a retirement present for himself and therefore was passionate about the car, reputedly never using it unless the day was entirely clear weather and was garaged throughout his custodianship. Following his passing in 2018, the vendor purchased the Jaguar having known both the car and first owner due to also being a resident of Bamford, and continued the same care routine for the XJ-S.

Providing with a full respray, wheels re-annodised, and undersealing by WatJag upon purchase, the vendor has since lavished ‘A20 XXX’ with brake attention, and a new power steering rack, actuator and reservoir in 2020 costing over £3,000, as well as a new battery in 2023. Offered now with just c.47,000 miles on the odometer, the XJ-S is accompanied by the original sales invoices and a letter from the dealership director to the first owner; a collection of invoices and MOT history; no advisory MOT until May 2025; JDHT Heritage Certificate; and the current V5C showing just one former keeper. Also accompanying is the original book pack, in the Jaguar carrier with the handbook and service book, as well as the original Jaguar tool kit, jack, touch-up paint pen, and stereo cassette. Such low mileage and ownership examples are few and far between, and this one having resided in a Derbyshire village its whole life, is certainly one to consider.

1927 Rolls-Royce 20HP Fixed Head Coupe

Family ownership since 1959

Estimate: £35,000 - 45,000*

Reg No: OP 4348 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GMJ1

On September 22nd 1926 chassis GMJ1 was ordered by the George Heath Ltd, John Bright Street, Birmingham as their dealer demonstrator. On December 24th, GMJ1 was delivered to Thrupp and Maberly, Cricklewood for coach-building. The next four months saw the RollsRoyce being used as a demonstrator at George Heath Ltd. The ownership record is virtually complete, showing that on July 13th 1927, a printing company managing director from West Bromwich purchased the car from George Heath Ltd before a succession of owners in the North. In 1937, the chassis was renovated and re-bodied by The Southern Motor Company. GMJ1 had a unique body fitted, a very special and more ‘contemporary’ two-door Fixed-Head Coupe built by Ranalah - it was described as a ‘replica’ (of a brand new 20/25hp and hence more expensive model). Of note is the incorporation of a curved pillar-less windscreen, one of only two such screens ever known to have been fitted and is now the only known survivor. Up to 1946 GMJ1 belonged to the WWII decorated Hon. Margaret Forbes Sempill at the elegant Craigievar Castle, Aberdeenshire. Following WWII, the car continued Scottish custodianship with a retired and distinguished RAF Squadron leader.

In single-family ownership since August 1959, ‘OP 4348’ was used by the previous late owner as a ‘daily driver’ until 1962, whilst at Cambridge University and for commutes to the workplace around Workington, Cumbria. Although plain Black and not so smart, it was reliable for some 16,300 miles, but after getting a smaller car (and getting married!) it was garaged, stored and off the road with 90,300 miles on the clock, until 2016.

During storage by a succession of friendly enthusiasts, the entire motor car has been sympathetically restored in stages over some 10 years; bodywork and paint, wiring and fabric plus mechanicals. ‘GMJ1’ is offered with a current Registration Document, flying lady mascot, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates, a collecton of books, hand written logs and an oringal handbook and instruction book.

Reg No: LGE 421 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TD29132

Finished attractively in Black complemented to a Cream interior, ‘LGE 421’ was purchased by the vendor 14 years ago and enjoyed by him for attending vintage shows and rallies, he is now reluctantly having let it go due to ill health. The MG appears to have spent a lot of its life in the Lake District and is thought to have been on display in a car showroom in Barrow In Furness for many years. The green VE60 continuation logbook issued in 1970 and included in the sale, shows its date of first registration as the 16th July 1953 on ‘LGE 421’ with engine number 29577, but at some point it has been fitted with a ‘BMC Replacement Engine’ numbered D01018 according to the plate riveted onto the cases. It is not known when this change occurred, but the V5C shows this new number. The MG has not had much use in the last couple of years, it started and ran whilst being photographed but will need recommissioning before use. Fitted with wire wheels, rear luggage rack and full weather equipment, the soft-top looks to be in good condition and goes up and down freely. There is a paperwork file including 19 old MOTs dating from 1995, a few receipts, a driver’s handbook and a lubrication chart, as well as the VE60 and V5C registration documents.

Arguably the best sounding and best handling BMW M3s yet made, the E46 generation debuted at the March 2000 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ulf Weidhase, the newcomer was a deft blend of aggression and subtlety. Available in Coupe or Convertible guises, the E46 M3 was powered by a 3.2 litre DOHC straight-six engine allied to Getrag manual transmission. Interestingly, the latter could be specified with either a conventional or electro-hydraulically actuated clutch. Dubbed ‘SMG-II’ when shorn of a third pedal, it proved to be the fastest shifting gearbox in the world. Credited with developing some 343bhp and 269lbft of torque, the BMW was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and 155mph (limited). According to the M Registry, 13,052 Coupes and 7,234 Convertibles were built to RHD Eurospec. First registered on 29th October 2004, this M3 was ordered finished in the handsome combination of Carbon Schwarz Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a matching soft-top. Delivered new to H R Owen Chelsea confirmed by the BMW group printout that accompanies the car, the interior luxury includes heated electrically operated front seats, AC, a radio with Harman Kardon speakers and Bluetooth. Sending power to the road through CSL-style alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black, the M3 displays a mileage of some 81,800. Offered with an owner’s wallet, handbook and replacement service book, there’s a current V5C Registration Document, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.

1986 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: C722 SPC MOT: April 2025

Chassis No: WDB1070462A040754

Manufactured in 1986, this desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive 500 SL example was registered new as ‘VIA 375’ on the 5th February that year. Finished in the popular colour combination of Smoke Silver paintwork with Brazil Brown leather interior upholstery, the SL features a Dark Brown hood and body coloured hard-top. Specified from new with cruise control, electric windows, air-conditioning, rear seats, green windscreen tinting, and rear window heating, the 500 SL was unfortunately part of a flood when with a dealer in 2012 and was therefore classified as a Category C insurance loss. Understood to have been renovated in 2012/2013, the Mercedes-Benz was subsequently VIC inspected and passed in 2013. Purchased by the vendor in 2013, the vendor informs that the 500 SL has been a very reliable car with many long trips undertaken, and during current ownership has always been garaged and only used during the summer. Offered now having covered a recorded mileage of a modest c.83,000 miles, the vendor rates the SL as having ‘good’ electrical equipment and interior trim, and ‘very good’ bodywork, paintwork, engine, and gearbox. Due to be driven some 70 miles to the sale, the Mercedes-Benz is offered with a V5C document and owner’s handbook.

1987 Austin Mini Mayfair

Estimate: £10,000 - 12,000*

Reg No: E42 VGK MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: SAXXL2S1N20346125

First registered on the 1st September 1987, as with all Mayfairs of the time, left Cowley with the 998cc engine and the relative luxury of the era, essentially velour and some coach-lines. Today, ‘E42 VGK’ displays some 91,637 miles and has seen some upgrades and customisation. Finished in a custom paint scheme of Cream over a Metallic Blue, it is reminiscent of the two-tone customised paint schemes of Minis like that owned by movie icon James Garner. The period ‘racer’ style has seen the addition of Raydyot pattern racing mirrors, Revolution alloy wheels on the outside, with racing bucket seats and aftermarket Tim coolant temperature and oil pressure gauges inside. Not much is known regarding when the Mini has been seen restoration work and the upgrades, however, the date on the Thermex aluminium radiator would suggest that it was fitted c.2013. We are advised by the vendor that he believes the car had a bare metal respray as part of previous restoration work. The Mini is accompanied by some old MOT paperwork with invoices on file that include parts purchased, such as tie rod ends in July 2023 and a new set of Revolution wheel nuts in current ownership, in February 2024. It is offered with a current V5C document.

1930 Riley 9hp Monaco

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: FB 8604 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 60-10530

First registered on the 1st July 1930, ‘FB 8604’ is believed to have been originally supplied by Western Counties Automobile Co. Ltd. Little is known about the early history of the Riley, however a green log book on file dating to 1968 shows ownership around the Somerset and Wiltshire area. ‘FB 8604’ benefitted from extensive restoration works during the early 1980s, which included replacement body covering, chassis work, and it is understood that the engine was exchanged for another, correct overhauled unit. Thankfully, the work was directed towards conservation, and much of the original green leather interior is preserved, with the rear seats retrimmed. Post restoration, the Vintage Saloon was to become part of a private museum for some thirty years, before being sold to the previous owner in 2012.

The vendor acquired the Riley in 2023 and has used the car for several trips between his home in Cornwall and Portsmouth and has commented that it has been ‘very faithful’. The vendor has installed new coolant hoses onto the car and has fitted non-intrusive LED flashing indicators. He has also fitted a brand-new electric wiper motor, further enhancing driveability during poor weather. Now described as being in ‘very good’ condition mechanically and with bodywork being to the same standard, the Riley should prove to be a very fine Vintage-era workhorse to any prospective new owner. With plenty of support from the Riley Register on offer, the Riley 9HP is eligible for all VSCC road events and their Light Car section.

Reg No: L149 RYG MOT: August 25

Chassis No: SALLHBM33KA638361

The Range Rover LSE was a low production, long wheelbase version of the ‘SE/Special Equipment’ Range Rover Classic, coming in both hard and soft dash forms, with plenty of upgrades over the standard, short wheelbase cars, and plenty of legroom for rear seat passengers. These LSE cars feature a 4.2 litre V8 producing 200hp, an upgrade on both the 3.5 and 3.9. litre V8s offered in earlier cars. These cars were the height of luxury at the time that they were built, with electric seats, electric sunroof, electric mirrors and many other options. Over the short production run, roughly 3,000 were produced.

First registered 8th September 1993, this is the rare and desirable factory LSE long wheelbase model and one of only 3,000 manufactured in this specification. With just 5 former keepers recorded, the vendor states the chassis is ‘in good order’ and the sills have been replaced at some stage. Offered at auction with a collection of old MOTs and a couple of invoices, there’s a box of spares for this LWB Range Rover, along with an original handbook for the car. Find another!

Built into a race car by historic racing car builder John Hewitt, the MG competed successfully in the MGCC Cockshoot Championship with Arto Kesterlian, achieving class and overall wins from the 1980s until 2005. Later raced by two brothers, still prepared by John, it was he who brokered its sale to the vendor. The MG continued to compete in the CSCC Swinging Sixties Series until the vendor’s son emigrated in 2017, boasting several class poles and wins. Fitted with a 1950cc engine, fully overhauled in 2017, producing 201bhp on a dyno test by Peter Burgess. The engine features twin 55 DCO/SP Weber carburettors, a race head with aluminium rocker arms, a Kent race camshaft, Omega Pistons, a balanced crankshaft, an aluminium baffled sump, an uprated Cambridge Motorsport oil pump, an aluminium radiator with an additional air intake scoop and oil radiator, and a big bore exhaust. It has only seen track-day use since.

Reg No: NT05 OZC MOT: July 2025

Chassis No: WVWZZZ3BZ5E053105

Launched in 2001 as part of Volkswagens push of ‘W’ layout engines, the W8 engine Passat was derived from the same design as the W12 in the Bentley Continental GT and the W16 of the Bugatti Veyron. The W8 produced 277bhp and 270 lb-ft of torque that were mated to an automatic gearbox that delivered power to all four-wheels. The Passat was upgraded to suit its new engine and included a higher specification interior.

Manufactured in 2005, the W8 Passat Estate offered was supplied new to the car-friendly climate of Japan. Residing there until being imported into the United Kingdom in 2022, the Passat is finished in the complementary colour scheme of Indigo Blue Pearl paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery and wood trim. Displaying the equivalent of 97,000 miles (some 156,000 kilometres), the Passat is offered with a history file that contains the original book pack in the wallet, including the stamped service book as well as a collection of invoices. Accompanied by a documented Japanese service history (rare for a Japanese imported vehicle), the Japanese and British service history comprises twelve services, as well as a current V5C document and an MOT until July 2025 with no advisories. Temptingly offered without reserve, the W8 is ever likely to remain a very rare cylinder configuration and therefore this Passat will likely always prove be a talking point at car events!

The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. Employing the floorplan of the outgoing model it also utilised its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent newcomer was lower and longer than the Silver Shadow and featured a considerably larger glass area. Courtesy of its finely tuned Girling hydraulic self-levelling suspension, it was said to provide the best road-holding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy. There were a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, the model remaining in production until 1998, by which time BMW had obtained an interest in the manufacturer and the Spirit was replaced by the BMW V12-powered Silver Seraph.

Manufactured in 1983, this Silver Spirit was supplied and first registered on 1st August that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 6750cc V8 engine allied to the three-speed automatic transmission, the Rolls-Royce is finished in the attractive colour combination of Blue over Silver with Blue Connolly leather upholstery and matching Blue Wilton carpets. In current registered ownership since 2018, the Spirit has benefitted from a replacement gearbox in 2021 and has recently been serviced.

Elegantly finished in the striking Cosmos Blue Metallic (185) with a Pacific velour interior, this UK-supplied 735i shows only three keepers recorded on the V5C. First registered in 1986, the 735i initially served as a demonstrator vehicle for G. Eric Hunt (BMW) Ltd. ‘D735 HWU’ was carefully selected by the supplying dealership to match the model. In 1989, it was subsequently sold to a gentleman who would serve as its custodian for the next 30 years.

Equipped well for the era, it also has a leather M-Tech 1 steering wheel fitted. Today the 735i has the very rare 17” BBS RZ412 alloys, which cost in excess of £2,000. In 2019, recommissioning included the installation of a new radiator, ABS pressure sensor, fuel lines and hoses. The air conditioning system was upgraded to utilise R134a. In recent years, the suspension has been refreshed with Bilstein B6 dampers - enhancing the car’s handling and cornering capabilities, a contemporary yet discreet Pandora alarm and immobiliser system has been installed - featuring a shock sensor along with remote and mobile phone locking/unlocking capabilities. The history file contains extensive MOT history and a service book with 20 entries. The car has always been stored in a garage, which contributes to its exceptional condition. It is offered with a folder of invoices and receipts for over £7,000 expenditure in the last 5 years.

1961 Jaguar MkII 3.4 litre

103

Estimate: £24,000 - 26,000*

Reg No: 168 DFJ MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 155656DN

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record states this desirable MkII 3.4 manual with overdrive was manufactured in May 1961 and has been in current ownership for the past 7 years. In 2017 the son of the original owner bought the car from an H&H auction, the odometer displays just some 45,000 miles today. The MkII was stored at a farm until 2001, at this point a restoration began which did not complete until 2005. This was evidently done to a very high standard. New door skins and bottoms, inner and outer sills and several new repair panels were fitted, plus new seat cushions were fitted below the preserved original leather on the reclining front seats, along with new carpets and a headlining. The interior woodwork was restored and a new wiring loom fitted, along with a conversion to alternator charging. The paint was applied by Jaguar restoration specialist Alan Proctor of Worksop.

By September 2012 it had been acquired by a lady of Wotton-UnderEdge. Some £27,000 was spent in ownership, over the course of 2 years between 2012 and 2014 with Peter Chambers Automotive, with attention paid to front and rear shocks, a gearbox rebuild, an engine overhaul and removal of the power steering system (to increase the steering feel) with new non-assisted parts fitted. Back in the ownership of the family that originally owned ‘168 DFJ’, the car has been dry stored and used sparingly on only the best of days covering just over 1,000 miles in these 7 years. The vendor has informed us that aluminium radiator coils were fitted last year to the benefit of the cooling system. This MkII is offered with a pair of Coombs-style rear wheel spats and the power steering components that were removed. It also boasts a large history file with a comprehensive number of invoices, a Production Record Certificate, detailed restoration notes and photographs and an original handbook.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 220SEb Coupe

Estimate: £36,000 - 42,000*

Reg No: DTV 301B MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11102122066904

Penned by Paul Bracq and first shown to the press at the re-opening of the Daimler-Benz museum in February 1961, the W111-series 220SE Coupe was notably rakish. Powered by a 2195cc SOHC straightsix engine (120bhp / 151lbft) allied to four-speed manual or optional automatic transmission, the pillarless four-seater coupe boasted all-round independent suspension, disc / drum brakes and a 106mph top speed. Of the 14,173 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Coupes built between 1961 and 1965 just 776 were to right-hand drive specification. A fair proportion of these came to the UK (other RHD markets encompassing: South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, Singapore and Malaysia etc).

This rare, UK-supplied 220 SEb Coupe was supplied new to Joseph Marsh Esq of Billinge, near Wigan and first registered under his personalised number plate ‘49 JDM’ on 24th September 1964. Each of the MercedesBenz’s six subsequent keepers are listed in the accompanying history file as are details of the extensive restoration it underwent from 2009 –2011. Carried out by marque specialist Bucklow Garage Ltd of Knutsford, work saw attention paid to the body, engine, suspension, brakes, interior woodwork, upholstery, carpets, chrome and tyres etc. Sympathetically updated with inertia reel seat belts (x4), larger fourteen-inch steel wheels and iPod connectivity for the period looking Blaupunkt stereo, the 220SEb remains highly presentable. Undeniably elegant, its Maroon over Black exterior colours scheme is complemented by Light Grey leather upholstery, matching carpets and the pleasingly original Ivory steering wheel. Widely acknowledged as being among the 1960s’ most stylish four-seaters, the W111 Coupe remains a fine testament to Paul Bracq’s artistry. Easier to drive in modern traffic than many peers thanks to its power steering and automatic transmission, ‘DTV 301B’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

2015 Ford Mustang GT 50th Anniversary

Reg No: LJ15 ZSC MOT: July 2025

Chassis No: 1FA6P8CF4F5307788

This intimidating 5.0 litre V8 special edition was initially imported by Bill Shepherd Mustang in 2015. Part of a limited edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack run, just 1,964 examples were released to pay homage to the first generation Mustangs of 1964. It boasted retro stitching throughout, a retro-look instrument cluster surround and exclusive Black leather upholstery embossed with the Mustang 50-year logo. Chrome accents around the rear tail-lights and a special 50-year plaque on the dash noting this limited edition’s place in history complete the many upgrades. The model was marketed as a 2014½ model, paying tribute to the original 1964½ model. Further modified from factory, Fortis Auto Design worked closely with renowned specialists to create this oneoff bespoke example. Additions include a bespoke wide arch moulded body, lighting, suspension and exhaust upgrades. Arguably most notable is the fitment of scissor doors that give the Mustang additional flair. Offered displaying just c.27,000 miles, the Mustang has a history file including documented service history, showing a recent service at Ford Bury St Edmunds, a collection of MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until July 2025 and a current V5C document. This truly one-off Mustang is undoubtedly not for shrinking violets and harks back to how original Mustang owners would upgrade their ‘pony car’.

1988 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible

Warranted 34,000 miles from new

Estimate: £16,000 - 20,000*

106

Reg No: E748 ERR MOT: August 2025 Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DA151717

Arguably better looking than the Coupe that spawned it, the Jaguar XJ-S Convertible proved a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. A highly capable grand tourer, it still impresses today as a stylish and luxurious mile muncher.

Finished in the alluring combination of Glacier White with Isis Blue leather upholstery, Grey carpets and a Navy Blue mohair hood, this particular example was first registered as ‘KAY 557E’ on 24th June 1988. Showing just five former keepers on HPi, the Jaguar is warranted to have covered a mere 34,000 or so miles from new. A figure supported by the accompanying paperwork which pleasingly includes much of the XJ-S’s original documentation. Registered as ‘E748 ERR’ for the past twenty-eight years, the two-seater is considered by the vendor to be in ‘very good overall’ condition. Rating the paintwork as ‘notably good for its age’, he believes the Convertible to be ‘solid everywhere you look with excellent lines and door gaps’. Entered from a private collection, the Jaguar is understood to have been sparingly used covering ‘a few hundred miles a year at summer weekends and shows’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and MOT valid until August 2025.

1978 Renault 16 TX

Estimate: £9,000 - 11,000*

Reg No: TAO 917S MOT: Exempt

107 1962 Wolseley 1500

No Reserve*

Chassis No: 0141372

Chassis ‘0141372’ was manufactured in 1978 and is one of the desirable range-topping TX examples and is understood to have resided in its home market of France from new until spotted by the vendor advertised on Le Parking in early 2020 while he was searching for a R16 after owning several previously. Acquiring the car for some €8,000, he subsequently had the TX transported to the United Kingdom and later that year was road registered as ‘TAO 917S’. Thereafter, ‘0141372’ was entrusted to the very highly regarded Renault specialist Renault Reborn, for restoration and recommissioning as required.

Benefitting from bodywork renovations and repainting; an engine overhaul; engine bay restoration; radiator refresh; new rear brake shoes, brake hoses, handbrake cable and master cylinder; new gearbox seals; set of replacement seats and door cards; undersealing; and new tyres, the work with Renault Reborn totalled c.£7,000 with some £1,600 additionally spent on parts and other improvements, bringing the renovation cost to a total of approximately £8,600. Further benefitting from an engine tune and brake system bleed earlier this year, the Renault started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. The R16 is accompanied by a history file that includes a collection of invoices, documentation relating to the UK registration, a CD with images of the restoration work and a current V5C document.

Reg No: OVS 455 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 15WC-U-L42989

Introduced in 1957, the Wolseley 1500 shared the same compact three-box styling and Morris Minor derived floorpan complete with independent torsion bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel drum brakes and powered by a 1489cc OHV ‘B-Series’ engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission.

This 1962 Wolseley comes to auction displaying a credible c.81,600 miles. The vendor is an ex-garage owner and mechanic, so he has endeavoured to carry out his own ongoing restoration since buying the car. For example, he has welded the chassis and treated such areas with corrosion inhibitor;. Attention has also been paid to the cooling and braking systems less than 5,000 miles ago at a cost of over £1,000 which involved replacing all the brake wheel cylinders, welding the front exhaust pipe ‘as necessary’, a re-core of the radiator, a plugs and points change, a condenser and replacement of the OSF wheel bearing. Other work has included the fettling of the electrics. The vendor has carried out his own paintwork to protect and seal the car’s bodywork which is a significant improvement from when he took ownership. The servicing work recorded includes a service carried out in May 2018 and February 2017. The Wolseley is supplied with old MOTs, the oldest showing the mileage at 73,995 in 1992, suggesting the mileage is credible.

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

Estimate: £60,000 - 80,000*

109

Reg No: CVG 547F MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 11304412000871

Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model or range of models since 1954 when the landmark 300SL was unveiled. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. Their successor was the W113 series. The last of the line, the 280 SL, was launched in 1968. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier siblings, it was powered by a new seven-bearing crankshaft 2,781cc straight-six engine that developed 170bhp and 180lb ft of torque. The SL was equipped with all-round independent suspension - double wishbones and coil springs at the front and coil sprung swing axles at the rear. Braking was by power assisted on all corners and steering was by recirculating ball. The car’s ‘square’ track gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280 SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power-assisted steering. Some 23,885 were made by the time production ceased in 1971, virtually half of which were exported to the USA. The popular W113 ‘Pagoda’ series of cars were replaced by the substantially heavier R107 range.

Understood to have been delivered new to the Canadian market on the 2nd April 1968, chassis 11304412000871 was specified in the rare and attractive colour scheme of Tobacco Brown over a Tan M-B Tex interior, with matching Tan hood. Little is known of the early ownership of the top-of-the-range 280SL, however, the original service book on file shows service recordings approximately every 3,000 miles up to 93,000 miles on the 26th May 1976 by the main Mercedes-Benz agent at 36 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto. It is understood that the car stayed in Canada until 2022 and invoices on file suggest much care and attention, including a complete repaint, by its owners up until the vendor purchased the car to import into the UK. Upon arrival in the UK, the Pagoda was registered with the DVLA as ‘CVG 547F’ and the vendor recalls that although it was found to be remarkably solid and delightfully original, mechanical work was necessary to ensure its reliability. The vendor entrusted work to renowned specialist, the SL Shop, of Stratford Upon Avon to provide remedial works to the engine and brakes for which there are invoices on file for some £12,000.

Upon inspection, it was noted that the 280SL is a delightfully original example, and the vendor rates the paintwork and bodywork to be in ‘good to very good’ condition although may be improved by a prospective purchaser if perfection is sought. The interior trim work is noted to be exceptionally original and has stood up very well to what is believed to be a genuine 152,500 miles – a sure sign of the quality of components and materials used by Mercedes-Benz produced during this period. Mechanically, the vendor rates the

two-seater as ‘very good’ thanks to the works performed and it appeared to be running very smoothly with effortless gear changes from the four-speed automatic transmission when we were driven to the photography location during the consignment process. The convertible hood appears to have been replaced at some point with a correct coloured Tan mohair item, which is rated as in ‘good’ condition by the vendor and the iconic hard top ‘Pagoda’ roof is painted attractively in body colour with its original and very much intact headlining.

Now offered to market due to the vendor wishing to pursue other interests, this very attractive example of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic 60’s Grand Tourer would make a fine addition to any collection and is eminently usable thanks to its gorgeous original condition. Potential purchasers would be hard pressed to find a more usable example of the iconic 280SL in a world where most have been extensively restored.

1974 Škoda 110 LS

Estimate: £9,000 - 11,000*

Reg No: KND 322N MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1266620

Manufactured new in 1974 and supplied to the home market (of the then) Czechoslovakia, this 110 LS resided there until 2013. Upon his passing, the first owner’s family sold the Škoda to the vendor in the United Kingdom in August 2013, with the vendor immediately embarking on an extensive restoration of chassis ‘1266620’. Finding only localised welding was required, along with three new doors, new front and rear wings (NOS parts). The 110 LS was then provided with a full repaint in its highly attractive and original colour of Turquoise (5187), confirmed by the Skoda museum, which was found in the panel gaps under the poorly applied Blue.

Thereafter, the engine and gearbox were overhauled, including a new head and the twinpot calipers refreshed, the gearbox was also fully reconditioned. The suspension, front brake discs and rear brakes and steering were all renewed. The restoration was completed in November 2014 and an MOT issued. The 110 LS has covered some 3,800 miles since the restoration. Featured in ‘Classics’ magazine (copy on file) shortly after the restoration, ‘KND 322N’ is offered with a history file that includes a copy of the Czech logbook, driver’s and maintenance manual, invoices, restoration images and a current V5C document. Exceedingly rare on these shores, this top-performance Saloon variant in a fabulous colour scheme is a great way to be different in the classic car world!

Reg No: K200 LME MOT: April 2025 Chassis No: WDB1714422F149743

The Mercedes-Benz R171, introduced in 2004, marks the second generation of the SLKClass Roadster. A successor to the R170, the R171 brought significant updates in design, technology, and performance. This sleek convertible featured a retractable hardtop, allowing drivers to enjoy the exhilaration of top-down motoring or the comfort of a Coupe at the push of a button. With various engine options, including four and six-cylinder variants, the R171 catered to a diverse range of preferences, balancing sporty handling with refined luxury. Its enduring popularity was attributed to its timeless styling and the incorporation of innovative safety features, making the Mercedes-Benz R171 stand-out in the Roadster segment during its production span until 2010.

First registered on the 11th November 2006, this SLK was specified in what is arguably the most attractive colour combination of Iridium Silver Metallic with a complementing Red leather interior. During ownership it has stayed in factory specification. The original Mercedes-Benz Service Booklet is present and records 9 entries for servicing at main dealer and independent garages, with further servicing recorded with Freeway Autos of Wigan 2018-2020. ‘K200 LME’ was last serviced in on 27th August 2021 at 90,710 miles, with oil and filters being done. It is offered without a reserve and accompanied by the Service Booklet, invoices for servicing and the current V5C Registration Document.

Estimate: £8,000 - 10,000*

Reg No: KFF 586H MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: XA25255469A

A very early Clubman Automatic, this 1970 example carries the unique features of the early Clubmans. ‘KFF 586H’ was built 2nd February 1970 and despatched to Autopalace, Llandrindod Wells, before arriving at G.E Evans, a BMC dealer in Snowdonia. Running on its original 998cc engine and hydrolastic suspension, the Clubman still only displays 41k miles and is standard apart from a Cooper freeflow manifold, alloy inlet and Minilite-style wheels (the original steel wheels are included in the sale)

The original owner, the ‘oldest lady in Wales’ at the time of her passing, bought the car in her mid-60s and then gave the car to her grandson in the late 1980s, when she hung-up her driving gloves. The second owner ran the car happily until 2007, at which point it was tucked away. The third owner carried out much restoration and conservation work, the car was then the subject of a feature in Mini World, May/June 2020. A few months later, the vendor purchased the car for his wife. Since then the Clubman has seen little use, being dry stored and not driven for the last 4 years (battery has been maintained on trickle and hanbrake has not been applied). Offered with a V5C, invoices, a copy of the factory order form and a Heritage Certificate.

For many, the early chrome-bumper MGB roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MGB replaced the MGA in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MGA. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant Black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.

From long-term family ownership of some 48 years (since 1976), this B Roadster was initially purchased by the father before being passed on to the son. Finished in British Racing Green complemented by a Black interior and soft-top, the B was the subject of mechanical refreshment fewer than 500 miles ago, this included an engine overhaul. Other work has seen improvement in terms of the fuel and coolant systems, benefitting from both a new fuel tank and a radiator. Suspension springs have also been replaced. The bodywork was subject to restoration work that included sills and wings which were believed to have been replaced in the mid-1990s. ‘FJD’ is being offered at auction with a current V5C Registration Document, a collection of invoices and a history file.

1954 MG TF 1250

Registered on Mille Miglia Registro

Estimate: £16,000 - 18,000*

Reg No: KVN 335 MOT: July 2025

Chassis No: TF4373

Despatched new on the 30th March 1954, chassis ‘TF4373’ is a desirable original right-hand drive, home market example which is pleasingly presented in its original colour scheme of Red paintwork with Red interior upholstery. Treated to a restoration to concours standard in 1984 by Hartwells Garages Ltd of Oxfordshire to showcase the skills of their apprentices, it was then sold to a local gentleman who owned the TF for 22 years. Provided with a full engine overhaul by specialists Brown & Gammons (costing over £2,300) in 2001, this included a head conversion to run on unleaded fuel. A stainless-steel exhaust system was also fitted.

Entrusted to MG specialist Peter Edney in 2006 for a five-speed gearbox conversion, ‘KVN 335’ also received an overhaul of the carburettors; new water pump; new rear springs; new wheel bearings; new fuel pipes and water hoses; and cosmetic refresh to the sum of c.£5,600 at this time. In long-term (17-year) previous ownership the MG was lightly used covering 4,660 miles. Purchased by the vendor to use on the Mille Miglia, the vendor completed the registration process and therefore it appears on the Registro and is the only UK-based MG TF on the register. Accepted into the 2024 Mille Miglia, it was placed on the waiting list but did not compete and would need converting back to the four-speed gearbox to compete.

It is now offered with the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, invoice for Mille Miglia Registro payment, FIVA Identity Card, operation manual, large collection of invoices and the current V5C. Riding on a set of chrome wire wheels, the TF also features a chrome luggage rack, wood rim MotaLita steering wheel, tool roll and Black hood, tonneau cover and side screens. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the MG boasts possession of a ‘no advisory’ MOT until July 2025. Ready for its new owner to use or to compete in the prestigious Mille Miglia event.

2000 Land Rover Defender 90 County TD5

Estimate: £20,000 - 25,000*

Reg No: W722 TAW MOT: July 2025

Chassis No: SALLDVB87YA192573

The Land Rover was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production of the traditional Defender only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/diesel engine and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Offered from current ownership since 2016 and having had just one former keeper, this Defender has benefitted from a restoration during the current ownership. First registered 23rd May 2000, the Landie began life in Defender 90 County TD5 specification before a metamorphosis into a Bespoke Defenders creation over the last few years. The vendor describes ‘a steady development of new and replacement parts having brought the car to its current specification and unique look’. The vehicle underwent a replacement of the internal bulkhead and benefitted from a new galvanised chassis before a Bespoke special two-tone paint job. As part of this major work and ongoing improvements, the Defender was fitted with; spacer bars, a swing-back spare wheel carrier and saw-tooth alloy wheels, a Bespoke radiator grille, LED side lights, daytime running lights in the bumper and new rear side windows. The Defender has also been given a new rear door and door card, brake lines, a replacement steering rack and many other parts. Accessories fitted include a ‘cubby’ box, Momo steering wheel, alloy gear knobs, leather gaiters and sill side steps. A list of further improvements for a new owner to tackle would include connecting the front heated seats. Since 2016 some £11,296 has been spent (a breakdown is on file). Displaying a credible c.102,000 miles to date, the Bespoke Defender is offered with an MOT until July 2025, a history file and a current V5C.

Estimate: £14,000 - 16,000*

Reg No: GFE 223X MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WBAEC7101C8171184

Successor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0 CS/CSi high-performance Sports Coupes, the 6-Series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-Series Saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-Series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive ‘shark nose’ frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse cabin, it boasts real road presence, an impression supported by the various versions of BMW’s mighty M30 engine.

Imported into the UK from Italy in 2016 and recorded as first registered in the UK on 1st January 2018, this left-hand drive example has been in current ownership since being imported. A rare sight on the roads, whichever side the steering wheel is fitted, this example wears the familiar 1980s BMW Opal Green Metallic with a complementing Cream leather interior. In UK ownership, the 635 CSi has been used in UK rallies and overseas events that have included European jaunts to Ireland, Poland and Croatia. Mechanical work has seen a new radiator, brake discs and pads and refreshed alloys and suspension. A collection MOT paperwork, dating from import up to 2023, is accompanied by the V5C.

1981 Vauxhall Bedford 10cwt HA Van

No Reserve*

Reg No: FSF 780X MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 92370CV700509

Immensely popular with utility companies, no Seventies town or village street scene was complete without a British Gas, GPO or British Telecom, Post Office or even Forestry Commission HA van scurrying about its daily business. In the 1980s, the rebranding of the government-operated Post Office Telecommunications in 1981 led to the bold Bright Yellow British Telecom service vehicles being seen on the roads of the UK. Outliving the Viva HA saloon by almost five years, it soldiered on virtually unaltered until it was finally replaced by the new Astravan/Astramax in 1983.

Coming to auction at ‘no reserve’, this Bedford 10cwt van is believed to have seen service on the Forestry Commission fleet, as suggested by the Moss Green paintwork and pine cones on the dashboard. It has been stored for the past 4 years after an illness left the vendor unable to drive it, being laid up and not seeing the light of day since 2020. The 10cwt (0.5 ton) van was previously MOT’d regularly and often used for classic car events. A fantastic opportunity to acquire an example of these sought-after vehicles, it would make an ideal winter project. It is being offered with a current V5C.

Reg No: EOL 676V MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 10702422029677

Sharing the same basic (R107) platform architecture as its convertible sibling, the Mercedes-Benz 450SLC Fixed-Head Coupe was introduced in 1972. A full four-seater, it was equipped with all round coil-sprung independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, it proved a comfortable and refined grand tourer. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 4520cc SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 217bhp and 265lb ft of torque. Reputedly capable of over 130mph in standard tune, Mercedes’ flagship Coupe enjoyed a highly successful second career as a rally car including two Bandama wins.

A desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive example which was registered new on the 24th of March 1980, ‘EOL 676V’ is finished in the rare and desirable Thistle Green paintwork with a Brown velour upholstery. Specified from new with cruise control, electric windows, electric sliding roof, 15-hole alloy wheels, headlight washing equipment, Green windscreen tinting, and rear window heating, the 450 SLC is offered now having covered a warranted 83,700 miles from new. Residing in the current registered ownership since 2016, ‘EOL 676V’ has had five former keepers. Supplied with a history file that contains the owner’s manual, stamped service book, a large collection of MOT certificates, and current V5C document, the SLC is also accompanied by two sets of keys, the jack, and warning triangle.

Supplied to the Japanese market on the 8th July 1996, chassis SAJJFKLG3BJ781196 was specified in Glacier White with a Savile Grey leather interior. Supplied with the original book pack, there are a number of service invoices on file from this period. Imported into the UK in 2020, the first UK owner would have the car serviced in December 2020 and kept the car in his private collection prior to having it registered with the DVLA in 2022. The XJ would continue to be maintained to a very high standard with a number of invoices on file from his period of ownership. During June 2022, the Jaguar was sold once more and remained in his custodianship until October 2023, when it was acquired by the vendor. The vendor has continued the high standard of maintenance, with a recent service in July 2024; he also opted to have the rear windows professionally tinted to modernise its specification.

‘N848 WUP’ is described by the vendor as being a ‘very good’ example and pointed out that at the last service, the specialists commented that it was a ‘notably clean example’ and described it as ‘rust free’. The vendor pointed out that the offside front wing has an area where the paint has lifted, but also advised that it ‘drives very well’.

Manufactured in 1989 and supplied new to a coachwork company, ‘F733 SAE’ was road registered on the 10th March that year. Fitted with the 2496cc straight-four turbo diesel engine with a four-speed manual gearbox equipped with overdrive, the Ford is finished in the colour scheme of White paintwork with a Red lower quarter, and a Grey cloth interior upholstery. A recovery vehicle from new, the Transit was purchased into the current, garage-owning family when just three months old in June 1989. Utilised for collection of stranded vehicles locally, hence amassing minimal mileage, there was annual servicing during this time and the Ford was placed into dry storage sometime during 2014/15.

Recently uncovered from storage, ‘F733 SAE’ will therefore require a degree of recommissioning, although started readily for our photography session and running and driving. Now offered having covered just c.48,500 miles from new, the Transit is accompanied by numerous previous MOTs, a previous logbook, and a current V5C document showing two former keepers. Notably original and boasting a very solid chassis, videos of the chassis and the ‘spec lift’ in operation are available on request. With Mk3 Transits becoming a collectable classic commercial, low mileage and ownership examples, such as this, will surely be the pick of the bunch. A modern classic and ideal for transporting classics around the show scene.

Estimate: £14,000 - 16,000*

Chassis No: 1070452A026409

“If you are looking for a practical Roadster with style, fine handling, comfort, reliability and high build quality, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL is the answer”. (Sports Car Market, August 2002). Completed to order number 0553750212 during February 1985 for the UK market, chassis WDB1070452A026409 was finished in Diamond Blue Metallic with Blue cloth upholstery and a Dark Blue soft-top roof. Riding on fifteen-hole alloy wheels, its impressive specification included a limited-slip differential, cruise control, rear seats, electric windows and ABS brakes. First registered in Birmingham on May 1st 1985 (or so its ‘B676 EOC’ number plate would imply), the Mercedes-Benz entered the current (fifth) ownership during February 2016. An accompanying continuation service booklet contains a mixture of handwritten and stamped entries which range from April 8th 2011 to January 13th 2023 and cover attention to the automatic gearbox and brakes as well as routine servicing. Believed but not warranted to have covered some 63,500 miles from new, the 2+2-seater is accompanied by assorted invoices and old MOTs dating back to June 2nd 2009 at an indicated 48,041 miles. Entered from a deceased estate, the Mercedes-Benz is now in need of recommissioning prior to any road use. An attractive machine in ‘Triple Blue’, it is offered for sale with hard top, V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual, assorted old MOTs and sundry invoices.

1987 BMW 525i

1966 Vauxhall Victor Deluxe

122

Estimate: £10,000 - 14,000*

Reg No: E804 TBA MOT: June 2025

Chassis No: WBADA420X07948932

First registered 1st August 1987 and finished in Luxor Beige Metallic complemented to a Cream cloth interior, from the very good history, we know this 525i Automatic changed to the next owner, a Mr Higham of Cleveleys, Lancashire 10th April 1989 after he traded-in his 5 year-old BMW 320i (sales invoice on file). Mr Higham maintained the car with his local garage for some 18 years in his long term ownership, being serviced with Motortune in Blackpool from 1990 until 2008 with subsequent servicing with later owners, at Rampton Motors, Michael Wicks Garage and VW Garage Romford Ltd. The last service work was with Deutsche Motor Worx in October 2022 at 114,520 miles. The Beige interior has survived very well and still has a very much 1980s-style Pioneer radio cassette player.

Displays some 116,000 miles and 7 former keepers ‘E804 TBA’ is offered with a large history file that includes a collection of invoices and an original 1989 Derek Woodman used car sales invoice, current V5C, MOT certificates dating back to 1990 and the original tool kit, which appears to be very complete. The vendor has been in the process of replacing bumper and side trims, but has not been able to complete the rear bumper trim however it is included in the sale. A great survivor Bavarian Saloon for any modern classic or BMW enthusiast.

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: EGV 258D MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: FCE6160454

The 1964 to 1967 FC Victor was marketed as the Victor 101, the name arising from the claim that there were ‘101 improvements’ over the FB model. The sculpted bumpers were, for the first time in the UK, blended with the body styling.

First registered on 16th March 1966, this Vauxhall Victor Deluxe is a rare survivor and is of an era of American styled aspirational ‘60s saloons with 3-on-the-tree and Stateside design influences. The car started well and ran nice and quiet on our visit, the vendor being an ex-mechanic, has done his own servicing and the very recent repairs on the car. This includes replacing the brake shoes, an oil and filter service and some welding and anti-rust treatment, although there’s servicing recorded on file back in 2013 at 36,253 miles with previous ownership. The carpets look to have been replaced in 2006 by ‘Coverdale (UK) LTD’ at a cost of £181. The oldest MOT on file is from 1989 at 30,742 miles, the next recorded MOT is in 2002 at 30,799 miles, which could suggest it was laid up for a period of 10 or more years. Supplied with a V5C, there’s also the original green logbook and a collection of old MOTs, an original owner’s handbook, two original sales brochures, 5 workshop training manuals along with various ‘Vauxhall Victor Owner’s Club’ magazines.

1933 Rolls Royce 20/25

Limousine

Coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly

Estimate: £20,000 - 25,000*

Reg No: AGC 496 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GAW 36

Known as ‘Lady Primrose’, this is a 1932 Rolls Royce D-Back Limousine with coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly. A delightful example of early ‘30s luxury motoring it is said to have been ‘well-maintained’ with matching chassis and engine numbers. It has featured in the RollsRoyce Enthusiasts’ Club Magazine 1978 and 1991. Purchased by the current owner in 2021 it has since received an engine overhaul including new white-metal bearings and a balanced crankshaft assembly. A new aluminium cylinder head is also present, accompanying a recently rebuilt water pump and Calorstat. It also benefits from the addition of an over-drive fitted by Ben Smith Restorations. Ben Smith has looked after maintenance for many years and in this time has compiled several reports, including a large photo album of restoration.

A regular participant of overseas trips, many with the RREC, before 1997 the Limousine resided on Guernsey. It was here that the Primrose Yellow coachwork was acquired, together with some additional restoration work also detailed in the file. The ‘occasional seats’ were also removed and a drinks cabinet fabricated, however, the seats are included in the sale. The interior is very tidy, with the fawn cloth to the rear seat and headlining in almost excellent condition. Sound deadening has also been added under the carpets. Tools also included are for the removal and refitting of the Ace wheel discs, the wheel hub spanner and jack. The large Lucas P100 head lamps with foot operated dipping solenoids are fitted and calibrated with modern improved halogen bulbs to aid night driving whilst the side lights use an MG B hazard repeater, utilising them as indicators, as well as the working trafficators. Floating along on soft suspension, this is a car to be used and enjoyed. Supplied with a V5C, a healthy history file –including journey logs, chassis cards, invoices for maintenance, extensive restoration and engine overhaul documentation, copies of the magazines in which it has featured and the ‘occasional seats’.

1989 Ford Escort RS Turbo

Estimate: £18,000 - 22,000*

Reg No: G609 DKF MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WF0BXXGCABKK099531

The Escort RS Turbo broke cover in October 1984. Far more than a souped-up XR3i, the newcomer featured heavy-duty suspension, improved brakes and a viscous coupling limited slip differential (the latter a road car first). Described by Motor Sport magazine as ‘perhaps the most enjoyable hot hatch currently available on the British market’, with the model approaching its 40th anniversary, they could well be a very shrewd investment.

First registered on Hallowe’en, 1989 and one of just 5,576 UK supplied examples, the RS Turbo has been subject to an extensive restoration and repaint. New inner floors, inner and outer sills and wheel arches were replaced before a complete respray of both the inside and out. As well as the body, the wheels have been refurbished after being shot-blasted, dipped and repainted before being shod with new tyres. Also benefitting mechanically, with a full service and cambelt change, it has also been fitted with a rear disc brake conversion and an aluminium radiator, a new battery, certainly providing some peace of mind. They say ‘the devil is in the detail’, well the RS has been fitted with new bumper trims front and rear, new wiper motors and blades and both front seats have been re-foamed using original upholstery. Offered with a current V5C, it is expected that a new MOT will be granted for this handsome RS Turbo, before the auction.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK320

126

1987 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

127

Reg No: MA03 KWM MOT: February 2025

Chassis No: WDB1704652F283209

The R170 SLK was the first generation of the Mercedes-Benz range of compact luxury roadsters manufactured between 1995 and 2004 using a shortened version of the W202 C-Class platform. The SLK name derives from the roadster’s design mission to be Sporty (Sportlich), Light (Leicht) and Compact (Kurz) with around 33,000 of the 3.2 litre 320 models manufactured before being replaced by the second generation R171 in 2004. The SLK 320 variant features a 3200cc V6 motor putting out 215bhp and 229ft lbs of torque. Its enduring popularity has been attributed to its typical Mercedes build quality, timeless styling and the incorporation of innovative safety features making the SLK R170 one of the more desirable Roadster models ever produced.

This 2003 SLK 320 V6, being offered at ‘no reserve’, is part of a deceased estate. Bought by him around 10 years ago, the vendor was an avid motorcycle collector who kept the car for weekend pleasure runs around the Peak District. It was last MOT’d at some 48,500 miles on the 15th February this year but sadly due to the owner’s deteriorating health, it has barely been driven since. The car starts and runs but will need the normal checks before being used again and comes supplied with a current V5C.

Estimate: £8,000 - 10,000*

Reg No: D196 GDL MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: SCAZS0004GCH16369

The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. Employing the floorplan of the outgoing model it also utilised its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. Courtesy of its finely tuned Girling hydraulic self-levelling suspension, it was said to provide the best road-holding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy. There were a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, the model remaining in production until 1998, by which time BMW had obtained an interest in the manufacturer and the Spirit was replaced by the BMW V12powered Silver Seraph.

Offered from previous long-term ownership, the Silver Spirit was declared first registered on the 1st January 1987 and is finished in the attractive colour combination of Beige with a Cream leather interior. The odometer displays c.85,529 credible miles. On file is a selection of old MOT paperwork along with invoices on file for £815 spent on fuel pipes, an oil pressure switch and a fuel pump in June 2022, LHM fluid in December 2018, brake fettling in May 2010 and a new brake pipe and repair to the exhaust for the MOT in June 2013. The Silver Spirit is offered with a collection of invoices, some MOT history and the current V5C Registration Document.

2001 Audi TT 1.8T Quattro

No Reserve*

Reg No: Y788 ETN MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No:TRUZZZ8NZ11027938

The production model (internal designation Type 8N) was launched as a Coupé in September 1998, followed by a Roadster in August 1999. It is based on the Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform as used for the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, the original Audi A3, the Skoda Octavia, New Beetle and others. The styling differed little from the concept.

Offered here is a desirable Quattro model, a 1.8T version with a manual transmission. First registered 22nd March 2001 it is finished in Lake Silver Metallic complemented to a Black leather interior. There are a number of invoices on file that range from Edinburgh Audi to independent garages. Invoices show that Edinburgh Audi carried out servicing in July 2009 at 93,039 miles, with a new belt and water pump fitted, along with the replacement of a breather hose and inner CV gaiters. At independent garages, in September 2014 it received strut mounts, a tie rod, an exhaust, MAF sensor and an oil cooler pipe. December 2015 saw a new ball joint, an ABS sensor and a replacement instrument cluster. The car was subject to new suspension arms and off-side track rod end in August 2020. Invoices show services at 122,993 in May 2015, at 127,535 in March 2016 and a service in December 2020. It is offered with some old MOT paperwork, a collection of invoices and a current V5C Registration Document.

2002 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Estimate: £12,000 - 14,000*

Reg No: EY52 NFK MOT: August 2025 Chassis No: WDB2304742F027897

Powered by one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG is a true performance classic. Although, the contemporary motoring press could not help being impressed by the supercharged 5.5-litre unit’s mighty outputs (476bhp/700Nm), it was the V8’s relentless power delivery which really blew them away. A crushingly competent grand tourer with supercar baiting performance, the SL55 AMG was capable of 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and limited to 155mph. Though, AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-restricted yet otherwise standard example had been clocked at 205mph!

Completed to order number 0253750316 on August 14th 2002, chassis F027897 was specified with Parktronic, COMAND, Premium Sound System, TV tuner, heated / multicontour seats and Bi-Xenon headlights etc. Finished in the menacing combination of Obsidian Black with Anthracite leather upholstery, the two-seater’s visual presence was subsequently enhanced still further via the addition of BRABUS style fifteen-spoke alloy wheels and badging. Boasting an impressive MOT history from 2006 to date, the MercedesBenz passed its last MOT test on August 14th 2024 at 85,764 miles with ‘no advisories’. Huge value for money given the performance on offer, ‘EY52 NFK’ is accompanied by its service pack, two keys and assorted documentation.

1971 Triumph Stag

Reg No: 34 RMU MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: LD2190

Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Despite being in production for seven years, a mere 9,500 or so of the 25,877 made are thought to have survived.

Although nowhere near as prevalent as legend suggests, the Stag did suffer from engine failure on occasion especially if the 3-litre SOHC V8 was not maintained properly or filled with non-corrosion inhibiting coolant. Those owners unable to find or fund a Triumph replacement often installed a Ford Essex V6 or Rover V8 instead. An old V5 Registration Document on file suggests that ‘34 RMU’ underwent a conversion to Ford 2.5 litre power decades ago. A project when the vendor acquired it in 1994, the 2+2-seater remains in need of full restoration. Thought to be substantially complete, the Triumph rides on correct-type alloy wheels and is equipped with four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. A great winter project and offered for sale at ‘No Reserve’.

1977 MG B Roadster

131

Estimate: £10,000 - 12,000*

Reg No: EVG 790H MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN5442391G

Introduced in 1962, the MG B Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan ‘Safety Fast’. Its 1798cc ‘B’ series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission and was capable of over 100mph.

First registered in August 1977, the vendor has owned the car for 5 years, with the MG B currently displaying a credible c.96,000 miles on the odometer. Finished in an iconic Green, prior to the current ownership, the car has been subject to a replacement Ivor Searle engine, completed some 12-15 years ago, with the factory gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th gear. As is quite common these days, the rubber impact bumpers have been backdated to the earlier chrome bumpers, and the keen sighted will have noted the Roadster wears an earlier registration number, having been changed to an age-related 1970 number to complement the period of chrome bumper MG Bs. The dashboard remains in 1977 specification. Thought to have been subjected to rust preventative treatment underneath, some 6 to 7 years ago, the Roadster also benefitted from having electronic ignition fitted in the last year, to aid a healthy spark and more reliable cold starts. At the time of consignment, the radio cassette player worked fine. It is offered with a V5C and a full tonneau.

1952 Citroën 11BL Traction Avant

132 1974 Volkswagen Type 2 (T2)

133

No Reserve*

Reg No: DFP 506 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: EQ07818246120

Nearly every list of the most important automotive designs must surely include André Citroën’s beloved Model 11 Traction Avant, which loosely translates to “front-wheel drive”.

The Traction Avant was introduced in 1934, just one year before André Citroën’s passing. The Model 11 BL was the smaller four-door sedan, with its front doors rear-hinged, so they would open “Suicide-style”; the rear doors opening conventionally. The Model 11 BL remained in production for 23 years, and by the time it was supplanted by the much more modern DS, an estimated 76,000 had been manufactured.

Chassis number ‘246120’ is a Paris-built 11 BL “Légère” Traction Avant, manufactured in 1952 and is understood to have been a resident of France until it was imported into the United Kingdom in 1983. Offered now as a stalled restoration project, the Traction Avant is understood to be a complete car which already has been partially restored, with much of the hard work completed. The body shell has been sandblasted, repaired as required, and primed, as well as the engine having been provided with a full overhaul. New stove enamelled wheels finished in Cream with new tubes and tyres have been supplied, as well as some other parts having been refurbished. Stalled now due to other projects having taken precedent, the Traction is on offer accompanied by a spare engine and gearbox, as well as the original warranty card and a current V5C Registration Document.

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

Reg No: BBK 727M MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 2342114481

Introduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 was nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders, if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. Facelifted in 1972 for the following model year, the Volkswagen gained more visible / higher set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary US passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).

Imported from the left-hand drive market of Egypt and brought to the UK in 2021, before being registered here in 2022, this Type 2 shows a recorded mileage of c.97,000km on the speedometer (60,273 miles). It is a ‘people-carrying’ microbus example with factoryfitted side windows with opening quarter-lights for ventilation. The interior has seen the addition of Orange upholstery. The engine bay is dry and tidy and contains a 1600cc twin port ‘B code’ engine, although the heating isn’t connected. The bay window has recently benefitted from four new tyres. It is being offered with a current V5C.

1978 Reliant Scimitar GTE

Estimate: £7,000 - 9,000*

134

Reg No: TGM 959S MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 2342114481

First registered on the 1st January 1978, ‘TGM 595S’ was originally registered in the Reading area. Specified as a GTE SE6A with the desirable Manual Overdrive Gearbox, it is said to have lived in the Isle of Wight since nearly new, and remained over there until as recently as 2015, when it was purchased by the vendor. In the vendor’s ownership, the Reliant has received a large amount of both cosmetic and mechanical work, which included a strip down to the chassis and full respray of both the chassis and fibreglass bodywork in around 2019 into the original Yellow that it presents in today, which included replacement of the window seals and windscreen seal, which is notoriously rare. The interior has also received much attention, with a recent headliner and new Brown carpets to replace the originals, the vendor opted to keep the original seats as they were found to be in good condition. The mechanics have also been subject to significant outlay, with a complete brake overhaul which included entirely new lines and engine work and has included recent head gaskets, new coolant pipes and an upgrade to an electric fuel pump with a new fuel line to suit.

These ‘70s icons command a great deal of attention and are great fun thanks to their lightweight body and thumping V6 Essex engines, and this particular example should be at the top of the list for any prospective purchaser.

1987 Land Rover Defender 90

Estimate: £6,000 - 8,000*

135

Reg No: MJZ 5249 MOT: October 2025 Chassis No: SALLDVAB7AA303156

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 ‘One Ten’ was introduced in 1983. Further differentiated from its Series III predecessor by a taller one-piece windscreen, modernised interior and more sophisticated Range Rover-derived permanent four-wheel drive system, the newcomer gained a shorter wheelbase sibling, the ‘Ninety’, in 1984. With their superior load capacity, handling and ride comfort, the ‘One Ten’ (110) and ‘Ninety’ (90) proved strong sellers.

First registered 20th August 1987 this Defender 90 is finished in Pink with Black. It was the creation of the bespoke Land Rover specialists Tamar Country Cars of Liskeard, Cornwall c.2013 and specifically built as a promotional show-piece for the company before, we believe, entering long-term ownership with a lady in Cornwall. It has since had Black accents added to the Pink, such as the roof. Displaying a mileage of 175,653 the Defender is fitted with a 2.5 TDI mated to a 5-speed transmission and saw some restoration work in June of this year, with any maintenance being carried out by the vendor in his ownership. The vendor has described the bodywork as ‘excellent’, as is the paintwork and interior trim. The engine, electrics and transmission are described as ‘very good’.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS

1.1 An Entry Form in respect of each Lot must be completed fully and accurately, with an honest description of the Lot, signed and dated by the Seller and accompanied by the Entry Fee, when the Lot is entered. The Auctioneer may at any time ratify an incomplete form.

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. It is the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current registration number is retained and a new number allocated prior to the Lot being sold. If the Seller does not do so, the Auctioneer shall not be responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever and howsoever arising out of the Seller’s loss of the right to the registration number following the sale of the Lot.

2.1 The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion whether or not to accept any Lot for sale and shall be entitled to select the auction place, date, catalogue placement and photographs for the Lot.

2.2 The Seller gives the Auctioneer full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot placed in its hands for sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations as are provided by the Seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Sale), with indemnity against copyright infringement.

2.3 The Seller is wholly responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any judgments or opinions expressed in, the catalogue description of each Lot entered by him, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description. Whether the description has been prepared by the Auctioneer or 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. The Seller of a Lot not held by the Auctioneer at the Premises or under its control warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that the Lot will be made available and in a deliverable state at the time stated by the Auctioneer.

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.

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.

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,

(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 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.

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:

(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.

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 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 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.

25. The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of the Auctioneer, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, shall require the prior written consent of the Auctioneer.

26. If any Condition or part of a condition in these Terms shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining Conditions will not thereby be affected.
