Welcome to our summer sale here at the magnificent Kelham Hall, just outside Newark, Nottinghamshire. The stately home’s forty-two acres of landscaped gardens and manicured lawns have been an ideal backdrop for our regular Classics & Coffee meetings here but this auction has attracted an even more diverse and interesting range of machinery.
Star car for many will be the 1965 Ferrari 330GT 2+2 ‘Interim’. One of just nine examples completed in right-hand drive, it has been restored at a cost of £218,000 and retains ‘matching’ chassis, engine, gearbox, body etc. Able to choose as he wished, Enzo Ferrari ran a 330GT 2+2 as a company car, while John Surtees owned an ‘Interim’ while racing in F1 for the Scuderia. Refinished in its original Celeste Blue hue, the sale car is certainly tempting at £180,000 - £220,000.
Those who are more Savile Row and Dunhill than Gucci and Prada will doubtless be drawn to the 1960 Aston Martin DB4 Series II. A rival to the Ferrari’s 250GTE predecessor, it was a highly capable grand tourer. Finished in Caribbean Pearl metallic with Black leather upholstery, the sale car is one of 349 made. Estimated at £240,000 - £260,000, it spent time in Australia before being repatriated in 2015 and remains highly original.
Among the more high end modern classics are an exceptional 2010 Bentley Brooklands, 1 of 105 RHD cars made, which has covered just 11,000 miles and used to belong to Jay Kay of Jamiroquai (Estimate: £120,000 - £140,000), an even scarcer 1993 Rolls-Royce Corniche IV Convertible, 1 of only 26 RHD cars built, that has been in the current family ownership for thirty years (Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000) and the surely unrepeatable one owner, 600-mile 1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow! (Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000)
Although not in the current market’s spotlight, 1950s sports cars can be enormous fun to drive at legal speeds (something which cannot be said of modern hypercars). The 1950 Healey Silverstone D-Type boasts period competition history and a recent restoration by marque specialist Warren Kennedy (Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000), while the 1955 Sunbeam Alpine III Roadster is an ex-Works machine which was originally prepared for the late Sir Stirling Moss (Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000). As rapid as it is beautiful, the 1950 Jaguar XK120 Roadster ‘Alloy’ Dick Protheroe Tribute comes with a valid FIA HTP but is still road usable and would embarrass many a contemporary sports car (Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000).
Pure nostalgia for those of a certain age, the 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole is a great example that has covered a mere 20,000 miles from new. UK supplied, it was given a cambelt service by marque specialist Shiltech last year and is ready to go (Magnum PI moustache not included, Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000).
The strong pre-WW2 contingent comprises a delightful 1913 Delage Type AI Sports Tourer (Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000), sought after 1933 Alvis Speed 20 SA Tourer (Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000), beautifully restored 1937 MG SA Tickford Drophead Coupe (Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000) and highly influential 1933 Graham Model 64 Standard Eight ‘Blue Streak’ Sedan (Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000).
We very much hope to see you at Kelham Hall for what promises to be another memorable sale.
Kind regards, Colette

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. This is the reason for our very specific terms as to roadworthiness (Condition 19.1) and absence of warranties (Condition 12.1), which intending purchasers should read carefully.
We will make reasonable efforts to execute commission and telephone bids when instructed provided they are received by 5pm the day before the Sale. Lot(s) will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Where more than one commission bid is submitted at the same winning amount, the commission bid submitted to the Auctioneer first will be the winning bid. We reserve the right to request a refundable deposit of approximately 10% of the intended bid amount.
For immediate clearance of Lot(s) full payment must be made to H&H Classics Limited by means of Visa Debit or Credit Card, Maestro, MasterCard, Cash up to the GBP

Buyers are reminded that the presence of an old HVIF (FIA papers) or other documentation does not constitute a ‘promise’ on behalf of the MSA or other issuing authority that they will be re-issued on demand. A car’s application for a Historic Technical Passport will be subject to the prevailing regulation in Appendix K and can be reviewed, much the same way Veteran Cars can be re-dated, as new information comes to light. The Issuing Authority can refuse to issue new papers. Any prospective purchaser should check the position of the Lot prior to bidding.
Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates
When mention is made of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates in this catalogue it should be borne in mind that the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain does from time to time review cars already dated and, in some instances, where fresh evidence becomes available, alter the date. Whilst the Club makes every effort to ensure accuracy, the date shown on the Dating Plate or Dating Certificate cannot be guaranteed as correct and intending purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the date of the car.
Export licences may be required for any lot manufactured or produced 50 years or more prior to the date of export from the U.K. It is the responsibility of the buyer to obtain the licence and correct documentation prior to the exportation of the lot.
PLEASE NOTE: We have been advised that vehicles registered on, and imported from, the Isle of Man are not subject to Import Duty.
Vehicle Identity and Competition History
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.
A representative of our preferred transport provider E.M. Rogers will be present at the sale to assist with any transport requirements. All lots are held at the purchaser’s risk at the fall of the hammer and must be removed not later than 1pm on the day following the sale. Please note, if lot(s) are not removed by then the standard charges as stated in our Terms and Conditions will apply.

Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version of Jaguar’s XJS featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood. Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. With the HE V12 engine installed a top speed of 150mph with 0-60mph in under eight seconds was attainable. Arguably better looking than the Coupe that spawned it, the Jaguar XJS 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 attractively in Atlantic Blue over Magnolia leather, this XJS currently displays a genuine c.67,000 miles from new. Described as a very well-running example by the vendor, it rides on Lattice alloy wheels and comes with a current MOT to January 2027 and Swansea V5C. Offered at no reserve.
Estimate: £10,000 - £14,000*
Reg No: RUW 757E MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B395014270
Introduced in 1959, the Sunbeam Alpine was built around a steel monocoque, featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and disc/ drum brakes. Unveiled in 1965, the final MKV variant was equipped with the Rootes Group’s latest four-cylinder 1725cc engine rated at 92.5bhp - notably more powerful and refined than its predecessors. Benefiting from negative earth electrics and an alternator, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 100mph. Only produced for three years, the Alpine MKV was quietly dropped from the Sunbeam range in 1968.
A 1967 GT version with removable hardtop and no folding fabric roof riding on period-looking JDW Minilight style alloy wheels, this Alpine was restored some 14 years ago to the sum of £21,000. The bare metal restoration took 12 months to complete. Upgrades include; Spax dampers, Stainless steel exhaust, hydraulic brake servo, GRP hardtop and leather upholstery. The vendor has owned the car for seven years and it was featured in Classic Monthly in February 2015. The car comes with a large history file of invoices, past MOT’s, restoration photographs and workshop manual documents.

The first Mini Cooper appeared in 1961, following a tie-up with champion F1 constructor John Cooper. The stroke of the standard 848cc engine was lengthened to 997cc which, together with other improvements, raised power output from 34 to 55bhp - a close-ratio gearbox and front wheel disc brakes completed the package. That engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998cc unit in 1964, while the MkII version launched in 1967 featured a redesigned grille, a larger rear window and numerous cosmetic changes.
This Cooper left the Longbridge factory in 1967 finished in Tweed Grey with Old English White roof and black upholstery. First registered on 1st January 1968, it is equipped with its original 998cc engine and was subject to an older restoration costing some £3,500 in 1998 and was in long term ownership lasting for 40 years. MOT exempt, it comes with a large history file that includes previous MOT certificates, Heritage Trust Certificate, restoration parts purchased, mini parts catalogue and Swansea V5C and is offered at no reserve.
Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*
Reg No: GEV 886 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: R328904
This Ambassador Six began life as the personal transport of Thomas Bata of the British Bata Shoe Co. The Bata factory in East Tilbury placed it at high risk of bombing, so Thomas Bata had his car converted into a works ambulance, which broke cover in the Bata Record in January, 1941. It was described thus: “the ambulance was put into commission and handed over to Mr. Jack Gracie, the senior driver… A well known West London coachbuilder built the ambulance, and special rear springs have been fitted. There is provision for four stretcher cases, still leaving room for a nurse or first aid attendant.” Even more interestingly, the Nash was apparently attached to the 3rd Scots Guards during the Allied landings of 1944, and it is believed that it accompanied them all the way to Berlin. It remained in service with Bata until the early 1970s, and in 1976 it was sold to our vendor, who loaned it immediately to IWM Duxford, staying there ever since. Extraordinary this Nash is understood to have never been restored and stands out as one of the best preserved pre-war vehicles we have seen. Supplied with history file including copy of the Bata Record , buff logbook and a V5.
Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Manufactured in 1972, the recent history of this Mini Pick-Up starts in 1980 when it was purchased by the previous keeper. Last on the road in 1987, an extensive ‘nut and bolt’ restoration commenced in c.2011. Found to be very solid, the bodywork was fully repainted, and a new subframe was provided for the back, and the front subframe was sandblasted and powder coated. The engine was fully overhauled and bored to 1,150cc with new pistons, high-lift cam, reground crank, new pistons/rings, head, and radiator. The gearbox was reconditioned, and all new brakes, adjustable suspension, petrol tank, windscreens, Wolfrace wheels, and a custom grill were all supplied, with some further subtle modifications present throughout. Internally, later seats, wood-rim steering wheel, wooden dashboard, and carpeting were all provided.
Since the vendor’s purchase in 2023, the Mini’s restoration has been further fine-tuned and completed, with the rear bed finished, and a new clutch, tonneau cover, stainless steel sump guard, and exhaust system supplied. Due to be driven to the sale, this nicely presented and bespoke Mini Pick-Up is now ready to hit the show scene!

Reg No: DHP 392B MOT: Exempt Chassis No: P167445DN
Despatched to Henlys London Limited on the 19th August 1964, this 3.4 Litre engined Mark II was specified in the highly desirable livery of Silver Grey over a sumptuous Dark Blue Leather interior and was optioned with manual overdrive transmission and power steering. According to the supplied original warranty card, the Jaguar’s first owner was a K. Lazenby esq, who resided at Kensington’s Pembroke Court, W8. More history begins during the 1990’s, when the saloon had entered enthusiast ownership. At some point, it was subject to a repaint in its original colour scheme and the interior woodwork was treated to revarnishing work whilst the original leatherwork was kept intact. The previous owner, a family friend of the vendor, purchased the car from Harvey Wash Ltd in 2021 for the sum of some £27,750, and some rectification work was conducted at JD Classics in 2024 / 2025 before handing over custodianship earlier this year. Our vendor is a talented and respected Jaguar specialist, and he recently fitted the current chrome wire wheels and performed some wiring work to ready it for sale. Now offered complete with its current V5c, several invoices for previous works, the warranty card and a Jaguar heritage certificate, this fine ‘big cat’ is now ready for a new, loving home who will cherish it as much as its previous owners did.

Showing only twelve registered keepers from new, and one keeper for ten years from 2001 to 2011, since 2015 this lovely Spitfire has enjoyed a more salubrious period of long-term ownership. Prior to its acquisition the current registered keeper, it had been allowed to deteriorate until it was requiring restoration. The current keeper then stepped up to the challenge and fully restored over the first year of his ownership, spending in the region of £6,300 on new parts alone. The work included a full bodywork restoration and repaint, a thorough engine overhaul, and the replacement of the soft-top and tonneau. The brake parts were renewed all-round, a new differential was fitted, and the interior was completely refreshed with new upholstery and a new lining for the colour-matched hardtop. Condition-wise, it is now surely within the best Spitfires extant, being a notably nicely presented example, and promises to be a very enjoyable car for the new owner. It is supplied with much documentation, including the V5C, assorted invoices, MOTs dating back to the early 2000s, an original owner’s handbook and period sales literature.
Reg No: 264 PPO MOT: Exempt Chassis No: TS63903
Supplied new to Mr Clifford of Worthing, ‘264 PPO’ belonged to K. Sparling, A. Graham, J. Carlton, Racetorations, R. Forsyth, W. Washbourne, D. Lee and M. Mills before being purchased from Fender Broad Ltd by its current registered keeper in 2025. Prepared for road rallies by marque specialist Racetorations during the early 1990s at Mr Carlton’s behest, the TR3A had its original engine overhauled and enlarged (87mm bore), suspension and brakes uprated and a TR4 all-synchromesh gearbox with overdrive installed. A Kenlowe fan and stainless steel exhaust were added too, the recorded mileage at the time being a believed genuine 47,750 or so. Subsequent owner Mr Forsyth then tasked the same company with carrying out a bare metal bodywork restoration plus an interior re-trim and sundry re-chroming etc in 1995. Showing 60,086 miles when bought by Mr Lee, he thoroughly researched the Triumph’s history during his sixteen year tenure. Benefiting from some £3,000 worth of expenditure during the last twelve months (wheels / tyres, carburettor tuning etc), this delightful TR3A displays 68,000 miles and is only coming to market because the current (tenth) registered keeper finds access difficult. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, hardtop, weather equipment and history file.

With the laudable intention of providing a lightweight scout vehicle for the British Armed Forces, BMC inadvertently created one of the Swinging Sixties most iconic vehicles, the Mini-derived Moke. Lack of ground clearance made the utilitarian four-seater ineffective as a military tool, yet the civilian version carved itself a niche as a cult mass-produced ‘beach buggy’ for nations with hotter climes than Britain. Moke production began in Britain (14,500, 1964-68) before moving to Australia (26,000, 1966-81) and finally Portugal (10,000, 1980-93). Portuguese manufacture allowed the Moke to rationalise components with the then-current Mini MK4, including the fitment of disc brakes and 12-inch wheels. Registered new in the UK in February 1990 to Sunset holidays PLC, this Portuguese-built example is understood to have been a promotional vehicle until acquired by the vendor in 1992. In single ownership since then with one former keeper it is understood to have covered only c.8,000 miles from new having been used sparingly by the vendor and his family. Benefiting from over £2,500 in expenditure since 2022, including servicing, cylinder head repairs and fitment of a new clutch in 2024, it is fitted with a battery cut-off switch and has an MOT certificate until April 2027 along with current V5C.

First registered on the 1st August 1988, this particular Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is presented in the attractive combination of Blue with contrasting Cream leather interior. Having had just 5 keepers over its lifetime with its first keeper change in December 1993 and the following in March 1997, a large proportion of the car’s life was spent with a Mr D Sherwood; a Solicitor from Brighton, East Sussex. The history file is picked up in his ownership in 1997, with the car remaining, with him registered to him and his company, Thompson Sherwood Solicitors until March 2012. During his ownership, the car was used sparingly; maintained with Harwoods and latterly with a local garage, Grants Garage.
Purchased by the previous ownership since February 2015, this charming Rolls-Royce has been enthusiast-owned, with maintenance as required and MOT’d every year. Offered by H&H in 2024, when showing just 72,530 miles on the odometer, the Spirit was purchased by the vendor who has used the car for some 1,000 miles since. Accompanied with the vehicle is a history file containing numerous MOT certificates dating back as far as 1995, invoices dating back as far as 1995, as well as the current V5C document.

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.
Offered here is a very practical iteration of the Land Rover Defender 110. A long-wheelbase example ‘G222 UTM’ has been the subject of much improvement in recent years with a previous bodywork restoration and repaint in a very handsome Black. It’s understood attention was also paid to the mechanicals and a replacement chassis with many new suspension parts fitted. Powered by a Mazda 35 SL TDI engine, not shown as such on the HPI report, it states ‘V8’, there are only 2 former keepers on record. Displaying a mere 84,500 miles the Land Rover is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.

A final hurrah for the unlikely sports saloon which reinvigorated the marque, the 1997 model-year Turbo R was built on the longer wheelbase as standard. Perhaps conscious that its Arnage successor would house a smaller capacity BMW engine and require considerably fewer man hours to build, the ‘last-of-the-line’ Turbo R attracted 480 buyers (367 RHD / 113 LHD). Heavily facelifted the previous season, the ’97-MY cars gained larger diameter front disc brakes and Electronic Traction Assistance System to better cope with their prodigious outputs (385bhp/569lbft) and performance (0-60mph: 6.3 seconds / 155mph). Finished in the decidedly elegant combination of Peacock Blue metallic with Parchment leather upholstery, chassis CH60193 was supplied new by HR Owen of South Kensington on May 9th 1997. Initially road registered as ‘P9 ADY’ (the first of many personalised number plates), the Bentley was returned to the same dealership by its first owner for servicing at 1,544, 2,679, 3,422, 3,436 and 3,923 miles before they took it back into stock during March 2000. Acquired by its most recent registered keeper twenty years later, the Turbo R is warranted to have covered just 41,000 miles. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, service invoices and fresh MOT certificate.

A well-known vehicle in preservation circles, this charming vintage Seven Van has a history of enthusiast ownership dating back to 1993, when it was reregistered with the DVLA having presumably been off the road for some years beforehand. It would have been around that time that an extensive restoration took place, which brought the Van up to its current high standard of presentation. Between 1993 and 2006 it resided in a large private collection of Austin Sevens, and it had two further owners between 2006 and 2013, when it was purchased by our vendor, also the keeper of a significant private collection. In 2014, the Van received the attention of motor engineer Clive Press, who resolved a non-starting problem and converting the electrics from six to twelve volts, with a new wiring harness produced for the indicators.
Although it has spent much of the last thirty-three years in two collections, it should not be supposed that the Austin has been stashed out of sight. It has been shown on many occasions, and has the trophy cabinet to prove it. It started picking up concours awards as early as 1994 and now has eight to its credit. It has scooped trophies at some quite significant gatherings, such as the Solent Trophy in the 1997 Beaulieu Austin Seven National Rally, Class Runner-Up at the 1998 National Rally, and Solent Trophy Runner-Up in 1999. More recently, it was named Best Car at the BPFC Road Run in 2005, and was a class winner at the Pre-War Austin Seven Club’s Autokarna at Wollaton Park in 2018. The Austin started readily and ran well during our photoshoot, and with a new owner we’re sure it could add a few more trophies to its collection.

Finished to a very desirable specification in Black, with a Black hood and two-tone Black and Ivory interior, this Continental GTC Speed puts one in mind of the proverbial bat out of hell, although, while it possesses the performance to back up that impression, although, being a Bentley, it is perhaps most at home when engaged in relaxed, open-road cruising. Nevertheless, the various engine and chassis modifications made for the Speed model afford the option of an almost supercar-like driving experience. Not only does it have 600bhp on tap, it also features a lower ride height and stiffer suspension.
Supplied new through Bentley Birmingham and now having covered just 72,100 miles from new, it has been well looked after all its life, with a record of twelve services plus the PDI. The PDI and first three services were performed by Bentley Birmingham between 2010 and 2013, culminating with a mileage of 18,914. The following five were issued by Bentley Essex between 2014 and 2018, and took the mileage up to 31,173. These are followed by three Bentley Approved Service stamps issued between 2020 and 2022, bringing the mileage up to 60,192. The most recent service was performed by well-known marque specialist Lewmark Autos on June 3rd, 2026, at 72,100 miles. As would be expected, it has a similarly impressive MOT record. It has been tested every year since 2013 (except in 2019) and it has passed every year since 2024 with no advisories. The present certificate is valid until April, 2027.
In thoroughly good condition throughout, this Continental promises to be a fantastic touring car for the warm months ahead. In addition to extensive MOT and service history, it is supplied with the original book pack in its leather wallet, including the set of four Quick Reference Guides.

By switching to Bosch fuel injection in March 1981, Ferrari robbed its successful 308 GTB / GTS pairing of some 40 horsepower. Concerned about the consequent loss of performance, Maranello executive Eugenio Alzati became determined to give the 90-degree ‘quad-cam’ 2926cc V8 its teeth back. Announced at the October 1982 Paris Salon, the new QV or ‘quattrovalvole’ model was a revelation. Sporting - as its name suggests - four-valve cylinder heads, it was credited with developing 237bhp at 7,000rpm and 192lbft of torque. Emissions friendly, it nevertheless boasted less noise, more power and better throttle response than its predecessor. Reputedly capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 158mph, the QV cars once again had the raw speed to match their sublime Pininfarina sculpted looks. A staple part of 1980s pop culture thanks to its starring role in the internationally popular TV series ‘Magnum PI’ not to mention countless other big and small screen roles, the 308 GTS has long been one of Maranello’s greatest hits. That said, a mere 233 Quattrovalvole examples are understood to have been UK supplied.
Increasingly ‘hot property’ during the 1980s, Ferrari’s 308 models often changed hands almost as fast as they accelerated! Supplied new to D.J. Goodman Esq via Lancaster Ferrari of Colchester on January 1st 1983, chassis 00043519 was bought by its fifth keeper, R.I. Bell Esq., just five years later. Unlike his predecessors, Mr Bell treasured the GTS for nigh on four decades. The proprietor of a building firm, he found that the stunning Rosso Corsa machine had an adverse effect on clients and so restricted its use to occasional high days and holidays. Initially main dealer serviced, the distinctively registered ‘GAR 328Y’ had a new rear main oil seal and clutch fitted at 10,478 miles and 16,681 miles by Lancaster Ferrari and Maranello Concessionaires respectively. Treated to a
new water pump and cambelts at 17,478 miles shortly before Mr Bell’s acquisition, he entrusted it to Trentside Classic & Sports Cars of North Lincolnshire some 1,300 miles later for attention to its air-conditioning pump and differential plus a new set of cambelts and roller tensioners.
Drawn to chassis 00043519 because of its low mileage, long-term ownership and high degree of originality (even down to the factory-fitted windows all-round), the vendor added the 308 to his burgeoning Ferrari collection last year. Dispatched to respected marque specialists Shiltech with instructions to go through it thoroughly, they conducted a full service and brake overhaul not to mention renewing the cambelts at 19,668 miles. The clutch was changed shortly thereafter too. Describing the Ferrari as feeling ‘notably tight and responsive to drive’, the seller further informs us that it is only returning to market due to his acquisition of an unusually hued Dino 246 GT and the resultant pressure on garage space. Worthy of close inspection, this decidedly low mileage and rare UK-supplied 308 GTS Quattrovalvole would grace another marque collection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, assorted bills / old MOTs and the original 14-inch alloy wheels (wearing period Michelin XWX tyres).
Excellent example with low mileage!

Perhaps one of the greatest car collectors of modern times is Jay Kay, almost as well-known for his penchant for fine cars as he is for being the frontman of funk band Jamiroquai. While a lot of musicians and celebrities may choose their cars based on image alone, Mr. Kay’s judgment is that of the connoisseur—besides an array of modern supercars, he has also owned classic Ferraris, Porsches, Aston Martins, BMWs, a 1968 Ford Mustang, a Bentley S-type Park Ward drophead coupé, a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, and the unique Ferrari 330 GT built by Vignale for the 1967 Turin Motor Show. We may therefore commend his taste and trust that when he purchased this Bentley Brooklands Coupé, it was because he knew it to be one of the best automobiles on the market at the time.
Mr. Kay must have been quite well aware of the Brooklands’ desirable qualities, because he bought it not when it was new but when it was nine years old. The first registered keeper was the late Peter Phillips, another collector, who favoured British classic and luxury cars spanning the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost to the latest Range Rover. Following his death in 2018, ownership of his cars passed to his son, who placed them into an auction in 2019. At the time, the Brooklands was almost showroom-fresh, having covered only 7,311 miles from new, and that’s when it was purchased by Jay Kay. Mr. Kay sold it in 2021 to the current registered keeper, another prominent collector who is affiliated with one of the world’s foremost Ferrari restoration workshops.
As one would expect from such an exclusive car, it was tailor-made to Mr. Phillips’s desired specification, being finished in Peacock Blue with a Cotswold leather interior with Imperial Blue piping and Dark Blue carpets. Among its many options were bright stainless steel grilles, the Flying ‘B’ radiator mascot, burr walnut interior veneers with inlay, Naim premium audio, Ultrasonic parking assistance with front and rear cameras, an iPod interface, a NavTrak vehicle tracker, Mulliner split-rim alloy wheels with self-levelling ‘B’ badges, and even a set of four umbrellas for the luggage compartment.
Mr. Phillips ordered the Brooklands new through Bentley Cardiff and, despite using it sparingly, was meticulous about maintenance. Up to the present, it has had fourteen services plus the PDI, all of which bar two have been performed by Bentley main dealers.
They have been completed as follows: PDI by Bentley Cardiff at 64 miles on December 22nd, 2009; early life service by Bentley Cardiff at 76 miles on March 18th, 2010; one-year service by Bentley Cardiff at 1,095 miles on February 9th, 2011; two-year service by Bentley Cardiff at 2,086 miles on March 8th, 2012; three-year service by Bentley Cardiff at 2,135 miles April 14th, 2013; four-year service by Bentley Cardiff at 2,162 miles on May 12th, 2014; five-year service by Bentley Cardiff at 4,457 miles on May 22nd, 2015; six-year service by Bentley Cardiff at 7,262 miles on May 5th, 2016; seven-year service by Bentley Bristol at 7,301 miles on October 24th, 2017; eight-year service by Bentley Bristol at 7,306 miles on October 23rd, 2018; ten-year service by MDM Technik (Bentley, Audi and Volkswagen specialist) at 7,772 miles on July 6th, 2020; eleven-year service by JZM Porsche at 8,146 miles on November 27th, 2021; fourteen-year service by Bentley Automobile Németh AG in Switzerland at 9,348 miles on July 22nd, 2024; fifteen-year service by Bentley Automobile Németh AG at 9,969 miles on March 3rd, 2025; and a ‘minor service’ by Bentley Manchester at 11,381 miles on January 8th, 2026.
The MOT record is just as impressive as the service record. The Bentley has been tested on eleven occasions, and has never failed a test, nor even picked up a single advisory. Moreover, it is supplied with a certificate valid until November, 2026. Such a low-mileage car obviously has not needed a large amount of maintenance, but it comes with some invoices on file for minor upkeep, with some of the more recent jobs including the fitment of four new Pirelli tyres in 2021 and an air-conditioning service by Bentley Hatfield in 2023. In addition to the MOTs and invoices, the Bentley comes with a tremendous history file including correspondence with Peter Phillips and other owners, warranty details, a full specification report, a New Vehicle Order Record and a complete book pack, which contains the owner’s manual, service book, and all the factory-issued guides.
The Bentley Brooklands Coupé was made for appreciate owners, and this is far from the only example to have been cherished from new. However, with only around 500 in circulation, the opportunity to acquire one as excellent as this may not arise again. In virtually every respect, it is still like new, and would suit an owner just like Mr. Phillips, Mr. Kay and our vendor—one who will continue to care for the car meticulously, but not shy away from stretching its legs as and when the weather, the road conditions and one’s mood align to make for the most pleasant driving. One may wish to use it simply on personal business, but if one is a committed Bentley enthusiast, it would be an ideal car for tours and rallies with the Bentley Drivers’ Club, and we are in no doubt that it has concours award-winning potential.

Still one of the most practical, useable and enjoyable classics there is, this extremely presentable MGB shows just twelve keepers over its half-century life, with two recent long-term keepers between 2001 and 2015, and then from 2015 to 2024. During the 1990s and early 2000s, it underwent some extensive restoration, which saw the interior renewed and an Ivor Searle engine fitted. A photographically documented bodywork restoration was also performed. Pleasingly, the MG is finished its original and delightfully period colour of Sandglow, which has evidently been resprayed at some point, and the present odometer reading of just over 63,400 could conceivably be the original mileage from new. If the restoration still looks nearly-new, that is because the MG has mainly been garaged since. It is seen minimal use, with the mileage in 2007 standing at 63,041. Despite having been kept in hibernation, it has benefitted from some light renovation recently. We understand that new tyres, a new battery and a replacement oil cooler were fitted during 2025. Starting readily, and both running and driving well during the recent photoshoot, it is surely ready to enjoy during the long, hot summer ahead.

Successor to the race proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in March 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive ‘shark nose’ frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW’s mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Launch flagship, the 633 CSi was powered by a 3210cc SOHC unit that developed some 200bhp and 210lbft of torque. Available with a no-cost choice of either four-speed manual or fourspeed automatic transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 130mph. 1 of just 1,696 RHD examples made (351 manual / 1,345 automatic) this automatic transmission CSi has covered just 40,620 miles from new and has had just 4 former keepers. Finished in Silver complemented by a Blue velour interior it comes with a history file that includes a current V5C document, well stamped service book plus handwritten notes on maintenance and was subject to an oil service at 40,447 miles in 2023.

Introduced in Autumn 1955, the MGA Roadster married a proven chassis design complete with independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering to a new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory’s successful EX182 prototype racers (5th- and 6th-in-class at that year’s Le Mans) its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Continually updated, with engine capacity increasing from 1500cc to 1600cc, the MGA range was joined by Coupe and ‘Twin Cam’ variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively.
This 1525cc Series 1 was imported to the UK from California in 1995 and subject to a major body, interior and mechanical overhaul between 1995-2002 including a respray in Orient Red, with over £8,000 being spent in the late 1990’s with Moorland Classics of Leek for work carried out. Benefiting from an unleaded conversion, only c.3,000 miles have been covered since the restoration was completed and the car appears to be in exceptional condition throughout.
Offered with current V5C document, history file including numerous invoices, a summary of restoration works, old US title, mechanical specifications sheet and tonneau cover.

First registered on the 4th May 1984, this handsome Daimler Double Six was in the custody of 6 keepers prior to our vendor acquiring it during 1993. Understood to have been supplied new in its current hue of Silver over an Oatmeal interior, it has been cherished by the vendor over his 33-year custodianship of it and has looked after most of the servicing work himself. Other, more major works were outsourced, including an engine overhaul reputedly performed by marque specialist Richard Beatty around five years ago. Straight after the engine works, the Jaguar was laid up until a major recommission took place, which included the fitment of the recently acquired TWR body kit plus a complete repaint, and the fitment of new brake callipers all round.
Now offered for sale due to the advancing age of its owner, this handsome looking car comes with its current V5c, several MoTs dating back to the 1990s, a string of tax discs also dating back to then, several invoices from various Jaguar parts suppliers, plus the correct TWR spoiler which the vendor opted not to fit as it requires cutting to fit the enlarged boot plinth of the Daimler specified car.

This British Racing Green beauty of a V12 E-type has been previously restored to a concours-winning standard and carefully maintained ever since. ‘TPR 801L’ was constructed on May 14th, 1972, as a genuine RHD, home-market Open Two-Seater with the desirable manual gearbox, and it was despatched on June 16th for retail through Henlys of Bournemouth, with the first owner was one Mrs. R. Purdy.
In 1989, it was placed in the hands of marque specialists XK Engineering, who performed a restoration of the very highest quality. Altogether, the work cost some £45,000 plus VAT, which in today’s money equates to around £130,000. The process was photographically documented, so the quality of the workmanship may still be appreciated. At some stage, it was uprated with a five-speed gearbox and a sports steering rack.
The Jaguar has been with the vendor since 2015, and prior to that it had been in single ownership since 2002. The odometer was reset to zero miles at the time of the 1990 restoration, and by April, 2006, it had covered 21,600 miles. Though the restoration was fifteen years old at that point, the E-Type was in its prime, picking up a run of concours accolades. It placed first in the Sports Car class in the Jaguar Drivers’ Club’s Scottish National concours in 2004, was highly commended at the International C-Type Register Concours, and crowned the winner of Best Car at the JDC Scottish National in 2006. It was further improved in 2013 when a new mohair hood was fitted by the well-known Jaguar specialist Classic Motor Cars Ltd. (CMC).
It was through CMC that our vendor acquired the car at a cost of £69,000 in January, 2015. By that stage, it had covered around 37,500 miles, and, with its restoration then twenty-five years old, it was decided that it was due some refurbishment. It began that March with a comprehensive service and a general overhaul by CMC, which totalled £6,816. Between 2017 and 2021, the E-Type made annual visits to Sherwood Restorations Ltd. for further servicing and maintenance, all of which added up to just shy of £6,000. In addition to the regular fluid changes, suspension greasing, etc., Sherwood also replaced some universal joints and renewed some of the perishable suspension parts. The interior was chemically cleaned and refinished in 2018; a new gearbox mounting rubber, door seal rubber and nearside front ball-joint gaiter were fitted in 2020; and in 2021 new rear brake pads were fitted and the wiring was partially renewed.
In 2023, responsibility for the E-Type passed to P. & K. Thornton Restorations Ltd., which performed a service and more general refurbishment, as well changing some suspension bushes and checking the front brakes. This work came to a total of £6,306. Most recently, another service was performed by TR Enterprises, and that, along with some other small jobs including the replacement of the clutch slave cylinder, cost £2,305. Besides the £22,000 total expenditure in the present ownership, further testament to the level of care this car has received is the fact that it has been regularly MOTed even after being granted historic exemption, and is supplied with an MOT with no advisories, valid until October, 2026. It was seen to run and drive very well during our photoshoot, and altogether it seems barely to have aged since 1990. It is supplied with much paperwork including the V5C, a JDHT certificate, concours certificates, old tax discs, MOTs back to 1990, DVLA ownership records, and many invoices.

As a traditionally-designed, characterful and lively sports car, the Morgan 4/4 was just right from the factory, but if anyone could improve upon it, it was Formula One technical guru Harvey Postlethwaite (1944-1999). Always a lover of motor sport, Postlethwaite got his first job in the industry with March in 1970, working to improve its Formula 2 and Formula 3 chassis, before he was poached by the Hesketh Formula One team. When the team folded in 1976, he moved to the new Wolf-Williams team, and later worked for Ferrari, Tyrell, and Sauber, and was involved in Honda’s aborted return to Formula One prior to his untimely death.
This Morgan was originally sold to marque enthusiast Maureen Ann Grainger who, with her husband David, continuously owned Morgans between 1958 and 2011. Harvey Postlethwaite bought it when it was two years old and he was twenty-three, and re-engineered it for racing. A record survives of Postlethwaite racing it with a Cosworth engine at the Bentley Drivers’ Club Silverstone Meeting in August, 1969, in the Morgan Five-Lap Handicap, and he would have finished fourth had he not been penalised for reasons unknown. After Postlethwaite, it was owned by Ken Davies who did little with it, and so gave it to John Hallam.
Like a lot of racing cars, it had been driven for all it was worth; its chassis was broken and its engine had been separated after blowing up in competition. Hallam duly restored it with a new chassis and ash frame to original specification, sourced a replacement Ford 1500 engine, and overhauled the original gearbox and back axle. A fascinating machine, it is logged on the Morgan Historic Register and is supplied with some history-related correspondence and invoices exceeding £30,000.

Introduced on December 8th 1931, the Graham Model 57 Blue Streak was soon being hailed as ‘The most imitated car on the road’. A significant enough design to become only the nineteenth inductee into America’s National Historic Vehicle Register, the Blue Streak was styled by Amos Northup of the Murray Body Co. Powered by a 245.4 ci straight-eight engine allied to three-speed manual transmission complete with a freewheeling mechanism (1932 only). Debuting in January 1933, the Model 64 Standard Eight was shorter and lighter than the Model 57. Visually distinguished by a two-piece front bumper but still with the distinctive ‘Blue Streak’ look, it also boasted an additional 5bhp. The Graham was a strong enough performer that Erwin ‘Cannonball’ Baker Baker used one to drive from New York to Los Angeles in 53.5 hours; a record which stood for three decades. Total Graham sales across its Standard Six, Standard Eight and Custom Eight lines for 1933 amounted to just 10,967 cars. An extremely rare survivor, chassis 1801069 (Model 64 Standard Eight) has led an extraordinary life. Supplied new to a prominent Belgian gemstone merchant, the Graham was requisitioned by the occupying German forces during World War Two. Returned to its initial custodian after hostilities ceased, the Model 64 then accompanied his son to the Belgian Congo where their business interests included a diamond mine. Returning to Europe during the late 1970s and subsequently restored in France, the Standard Eight remained with its original family for seven decades. Relocating to Belgium once more in 2007, invoices on file detail some €16,600 worth of expenditure prior to the vendor’s acquisition during January 2025. Now sporting the age-related UK number plate ‘XXG 551’, this storied and stylish ‘Blue Streak’ has lost none of its ability to turn heads. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

Chassis No: GGA6
Traditionally, Rolls-Royces bodied by the great London coachbuilding houses have always been held among the most desirable, but William Arnold of Manchester was one of a handful of provincial firms whose coachbuilding could rival London’s finest. William Arnold’s main line of business was in car sales, but it bodied its first car in 1910 and through the 1920s was regularly patronised by affluent Mancunians. It is a curious fact that no Rolls-Royces were bodied by William Arnold until 1931, but thereafter quite a large number entered its works. Bodies like that fitted to chassis GGA6—sports saloons with sunshine roofs—were referred to as ‘Arnaulets’. Chassis records reveal that GGA6 was originally owned by George Lionel Quixano Henriques (1894-1961), a Mancunian by birth, who lived in Buxton from 1921. Decorated during the Kaiser War, in peacetime he worked as a stockbroker with D. Q. Henriques & Co. on Manchester’s Pall Mall. According to the website British Jews in the First World War, “The Henriques family was a prominent member of the Jewish establishment in London in the early part of the 19th century. The family’s prosperity had been derived from trading in Jamaica. Following his arrival in Manchester c.1859, David Henriques and some descendants became involved in the Manchester Congregation of British Jews.” GGA6 has evidently been repainted in the past, though the interior appears wonderfully well-preserved and original. After a period of enthusiast use, it was taken off the road in 2008 and placed into a private collection. Our vendor purchased it in 2023 and since then has undertaken much fettling which has included fitment of a new electric fuel pump and ignition coil, overhaul of the cylinder head with new head gasket plus new valve oil seals and value springs, new exhaust system and overhauled starter motor and dynamo plus more. It is supplied with the V5C plus copies of the original chassis cards and has been enjoyed by the current vendor at the national RREC events.

For many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch that they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque’s newer offerings some sixty-four years later. Allied to a monocoque passenger cell, the model’s tubular front sub-frame cradled a race proven 3781cc (later 4235cc) DOHC straight-six engine, independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering. While its back axle played host to a sophisticated coil-sprung set-up complete with inboard disc brakes. Never officially referred to as such by Jaguar, the so-called ‘Series 1.5’ cars appeared in late 1967. Drip fed a host of detail improvements prior to the Series 2’s official introduction the following October (including a more spacious cabin layout, redesigned convertible hood, larger capacity cooling system and boot hinge covers etc), they remain particularly sought after by enthusiasts.
Originally delivered to the USA and understood to have spent time in California, this E-Type Series 1.5 returned to the UK in 1994 and treated to a ground up restoration and conversion to RHD. Purchased from the restorer in 2001 by our lady owner vendor, it has been much loved and enjoyed since on numerous UK and European trips whilst being garaged and unused over the winter months. Always maintained in the current ownership on a money no object basis, it benefits from a Thatcham immobiliser, Kenlowe fan and upgraded starter. In 2023 over £2,000 was spent on mechanical fettling and a new speedo cable and angle drive was fitted in 2025 at a cost of £1,200.

A more comfort-biased foil to its Turbo R sibling, the Bentley Brooklands was introduced at the October 1992 Birmingham International Motor Show. Continually refined and updated during its half decade production run, the Brooklands underwent its biggest facelift for the 1996 model year. Given a new look both externally and internally, it also boasted various mechanical improvements. It is understood that just 194 right-hand drive cars were completed during the 1996 model year. A 1996 model-year Brooklands (the first of which was reportedly chassis 57006), this particular example is finished in the stunning combination of Georgian Silver with Oxblood leather upholstery. Previously supplied by marque specialist Balmoral and carrying a Bentley Drivers’ Club sticker to the front windscreen, it has self-evidently led something of a charmed life covering some 87,000 miles in the process. Indeed, we are told that some £5,000 has been spent on it within the last 1,000 miles alone. The online MOT history makes for reassuring reading and the Bentley is said to ‘present well and drive very nicely’. Still an imposing motorcar, this handsome Brooklands is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and MOT certificate valid until April 2027.

Introduced in 2005, the Range Rover Sport attracted a younger, more style conscious demographic to the marque. Underpinned by Land Rover (rather than Range Rover) running gear, the newcomer utilised a modified version of the Discovery 3’s monocoque but featured an altogether funkier glasshouse. Available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, It proved a hit with celebrities on both sides of the Atlantic. Facelifted for a final time in 2012, the L320-generation Sport gained an updated media interface, electric power tailgate and the option of ZF’s excellent eight-speed automatic transmission (complete with rotary selector). British independent tuner Overfinch has offered bespoke upgrades resulting in customised ultra-luxury vehicles for a number of years. Known for their bespoke carbon-fibre body kits, engine performance improvements, 23-inch alloy wheels, and opulent interior upgrades, they transform already-premium SUVs into highly exclusive, six-figure status symbols. On top of the purchase price of a luxury SUV, the costs of conversion can reach heady proportions. This Range Rover Sport 3.0 self-evidently features a number of upgrades from Overfinch and has covered some 106,800 miles from new. Finished in white with black interior it comes with owners wallet, handbook, sundry invoices, online service history print out and Swansea V5C document.

Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, front disc and rear drum brakes, and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2,498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to a four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2secs. and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that “Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man’s sports car in its own right”.
This TR6 was sitting unused in a body shop for 15 years prior to recently being subjected to a full-body respray in classic British Racing Green. Displaying a believable c.80,000 miles from new, the body is said to be in superb condition and the interior good. Currently the car starts, runs and drives, but would benefit from some minor fettling. Offered with a history file and current Swansea V5C.

This amazing one-off was created by master craftsman Paul Gooderham using 750 Motor Club stalwart Ron Champion’s book ‘How to Build Your Own Sports Car’ as a template. Resembling a slightly scaled-up Lotus 7 (Sottul is a subtle distortion of Lotus spelt backwards), the resultant machine has been built to a standard that would shame many an OEM and is ridiculously OTT in some respects. For example, the spaceframe chassis comprises square section stainless steel 304 tubes that have been beautifully TIG welded together. The proprietor of a custom exhaust business, Mr Gooderham not only fabricated his own wishbones, engine mounts and carburettor trumpets but also made an English Wheel with which to form the polished aluminium bodywork! The slight peak to the nosecone was inspired by Ferrari’s first mid-engined GP car, the 156, while its grille slats are titanium. Powered by a Lotus 907 2-litre DOHC ‘slant four’ allied to Getrag five-speed manual transmission, the Suttol was rolling road tuned to 180bhp @ 5,500rpm. The independent rear suspension incorporates a Ford Sierra back axle with the front disc brakes and all-round coil-over units being sourced from Wilwood and Spax respectively. Just treated to a cambelt change, the Suttol possesses a ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until May 2027. Exceptional!

Desirably fitted with overdrive, this Rapier was in need of extensive restoration by the 1990s, especially to the bodywork and interior. The work was entrusted to Bryan Withington of Withington Restorations, and in 2000, thousands of pounds were spent bringing the car up to its present standard. Many panels were replaced, a new hood was fitted, the chrome was replated and the tired interior was reupholstered. Limited mechanical work was performed and the electrics received considerable attention.
The previous owner acquired the Sunbeam in 2005, and in 2007 it was bought by our vendor for his private collection. In 2008, the engine was stripped for a comprehensive overhaul. This included a rebore, new pistons and more, and was completed in 2009. Since then, it has covered just 2,500 miles, experiencing light use on local outings. The odometer has been reset at some stage, as old MOT certificates place the mileage at 84,925 miles in 1996. The Sunbeam has received a new battery and fresh service this year, and is sold with much paperwork including copious restoration notes, the vendor’s purchase receipt, MOTs and invoices back to the 1970s, and original period literature including the owner’s handbook, workshop manual and sales material.

‘KND 523F’ was built on April 5th, 1968, and finished in Island Blue with a Snowberry White roof and Black trim. It was sold new on May 6th by Sports Motors of Manchester to S. R. Astley, Esq., of Bidston, Cheshire, being part-exchanged against his 1963 Mini. He covered 33,000 miles before selling it to his mother, Mrs. Margaret Astley, in 1970, and she used it for local journeys until 1989, when she stopped driving. The third owner kept it until 1997 and, after a very brief stint with a fourth keeper, its late fifth owner acquired it from an H&H auction the same year, when it was still highly original and displaying just 71,000 miles.
The Cooper now presents in very nice condition, having undergone a full restoration around 2020, which saw it stripped to the bare metal and reassembled with new or refurbished parts where necessary. More impressively, it still appears in its original colour scheme and retains its matching-numbers, twin-carburettor engine. This eminently show-worthy Mini is supplied with history including the V5C, a copy of the original sales invoice, a BMIHT certificate, correspondence from Mrs. Astley, old MOTs and DVLA ownership records.

Built from November 5th to 9th, 1954, this charming TF 1500 was originally built to LHD specification for export to North America. It was reimported into Britain in 1988 and was at some stage converted to RHD. Since 1996, it has been enjoyed by the members of just one family and has been carefully maintained throughout. Work completed by the present family has included a full repaint and the sensible upgrade of the installation of a Ford Sierra five-speed gearbox. The MG further benefited from a thorough engine overhaul in 2017, and the brakes were renewed in 2020, with much work evidenced by a collection of invoices. After 2015, the car spent a few years off the road while work was ongoing, but it is now very much ready for use, being supplied with an MOT valid until April, 2027. Since it comes with a complete set of weather equipment in good condition and a handy luggage rack, we’d be strongly tempted to use it for a few weekends away this summer. The bodywork, engine, transmission and interior are described by the vendor as “very good,” and in addition to invoices, it is supplied with a BMIHT certificate.

The Mini ‘Mayfair’ was available from 1982 to 1994 and came with either 998cc or 1275cc versions of the ubiquitous BMC ‘A’ Series engine. It was visually distinguished by its wheelarch extensions and contrasting coachlines with ‘Mayfair’ logos. Standard equipment included 12-inch wheels, opening rear side windows, radio, head restraints, locking fuel cap, tinted glass and rev-counter. Disc front brakes were standard from 1984 and alloy wheels became optional the same year.
This Mayfair departed the Longbridge factory in 1991 and features Cranberry Red paintwork and Granite velour upholstery. It is equipped with the 998cc engine coupled to four-speed automatic transmission. In previous long term ownership, it spent 11 years off the road prior to being recommissioned in 2017. It was retrofitted with electric power steering in 2023 which was installed for the convenience. Other works include replacement of the heater matrix and inlet/exhaust manifold, rear brake adjustment and new rocker gasket and seals.

Introduced in August 1968, the Series 2 E-Type shared the same swooping silhouette as its predecessor although American safety legislation forced deletion of glass headlamp covers which, while less aesthetically pleasing, made night driving more relaxing. Engine cooling was significantly improved with the provision of an extra electric fan and the bonnet’s enlarged air intake. Uprated Girling disc brakes all round resulted in superior retardation, while re-designed seats provided more support. A more evolved design than the Series 1, the Series 2 could be had in Fixed Head Coupe, 2+2-seater or Roadster guises. All were powered by Jaguar’s race-proven 4.2-litre XK DOHC engine allied to a four-speed manual gearbox (though, automatic transmission was an option for the longer wheelbase 2+2-seater models). A mere 3,786 Fixed Head Coupes were built to left-hand drive specification.
According to its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, EPE 288 was originally supplied by British Leyland, New York on 4th June 1969 as a manual transmission FHC finished in Regency red over black leather. Imported back to the UK in early 2001, it was comprehensively restored in 2003. This included repainting, retrimming, conversion to right-hand drive and a replacement engine being fitted at a cost of over £37,000 (nearly £70,000 today). Written invoices and photos on file attest to the depth of the works. Acquired by the vendor in 2009, it has been well-cared for since and only used for classic car shows where it has won ‘best in show’ awards. Now finished in an attractive colourway of silver over red leather, a coveted combination for 1960’s classics, it is offered with a detailed history file showing importation papers, restoration photos, restoration invoices, more recent invoices for sundry items and current V5C document.

This is surely one of the most original and best-preserved Europas in existence. Originally sold to our vendor through Mallett Bros, of the Northgate Garage near Sleaford, its equipment included a five-speed gearbox, tinted glass and air horns, and it has since covered just 7,000 miles. Always a tinkerer, the vendor has recorded his attentions to the Europa in meticulous detail, beginning: “During the first week I had to fit a decent radio and cassette player. The other important job was to improve the headlights, so on went a set of H4 units.”
The Europa had done most of its mileage by 1976. The vendor recorded in October, 1978: “Off road for winter. Clean chassis and suspension parts to spray with anti-rust protector.” He laid it up entirely in 1981, but through the ’80s he ran the engine and transmission every four months and changed the oil annually. During 1988 and ’89 he overhauled the suspension, and the brakes were refreshed in 1991. That year, the Europa went back on the road with 6,637 miles covered, but only briefly. In 1996, the engine and transmission were resprayed, but the car seldom saw the road. For much of the 2000s, the programme of checks and MOTs continued, with occasional short runs. A top-end overhaul occurred during 2012 and 2013, and in 2018 the vendor reported: “Everything functioning well, engine performance great.”
Supplied with the V5C, an historic V5, the original service book and workshop manual, the sales invoice from Mallett Bros. (plus other invoices), the Lotus Classic Certificate of Provenance, a letter from Lotus, MOTs from 1976 to 2017, many tax discs, and the vendor’s extensive maintenance record, this is an outstanding example of a car which has been cherished purely for its own sake, as an object of beauty and first-class design.

The evergreen popularity of R107s means there are always some good ones and some not-so-good ones on the market, but bidders may be assured that this is one of the better ones, having been cherished by the late third owner from 1992 to 2025, and subsequently cared for by his widow. Finished in its original colour of Astral Silver with an Alpaca Grey fabric interior, ‘D614 TRB’ was registered on September 8th, 1986, and sold through B. & K. Thomas, Mercedes-Benz agents of Loughborough, to Data Path Ltd. of Melbourne, Derbyshire, with the second owner another Derbyshire business. Forty years later, it is remarkably well-preserved, having covered only 75,000 miles.
The SL has a most impressive service record, with 11 service stamps, plus the PDI, issued between 1986 and 1995, when it had covered 60,728 miles. It had covered 52,500 miles when it was purchased by our vendor’s late husband in 1992 from Speeds Mercedes-Benz of Chesterfield, and is supplied with almost every MOT certificate issued since, which is testament to how well he looked after it. And he really did look after it—after the service stamps stop, he performed his own servicing on a regular basis. Consequently, the Mercedes has never required any major attention, although in 2014 it was fitted with a stainless steel exhaust by Longlife.
The car’s condition really speaks for itself, but the service and MOT records are certainly worth inspecting, too. As one would expect with such a cherished car, the full book pack is present, containing the service book, owner’s manual, Europe Service manual, Blaupunkt audio guide and British Mercedes-Benz dealer map. The Mercedes also comes with two keys, and a current MOT with no advisories valid until July, 2026.

Jaguar’s XJS was primarily designed by Malcolm Sayer, with input from Sir William Lyons. Struggling financially at the time, the company needed a success and the highly anticipated new model, seen by many as a direct replacement for the E-Type, was in a league of its own when unveiled in 1976. In 1991, parent company Ford spent £50 million rejuvenating the design, incorporating 40 percent new panels, revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers, rear wings, new walnut facia and improved sports seats. Powered by a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or soporific V12 (5343cc), five-speed manual transmission was standard, although the 4.0-litre could be had with a four-speed automatic. Capable of 140mph, the model proved to be a refined drive, with production continuing until 1996.
Stored in a body shop for 15 years prior to acquisition by the vendor, this example has recently been subject to a full respray in striking Graphite grey. Displaying a believable c.37,000 miles from new, it is said to start, run and drive following on from some recommissioning work.

The vogue for ultra-lightweight, high-revving sports cars arguably reached its zenith in 2000 with the arrival of the Lotus 340R and Ariel Atom. Ian Macpherson, the future Lord Strathcarron, got in on the act, creating Strathcarron Sports Cars in 1995. Its first product, the SC-5A was developed by leading race engineering specialists, including Reynard Motorsport and Prodrive.
Constructed with carbon-Kevlar panels round an aluminium honeycomb tub, the SC-5A weighed just 1,200lbs., and its four-cylinder, 1.2-litre Triumph motorcycle engine produced a claimed 125bhp at 9,800rpm. With a six-speed gearbox developed with Quaife, it was said to be good for 125mph and 0-60mph in 5.5secs. The Prodrive suspension incorporated Bilstein springs and shock absorbers, and other features included AP Racing brakes and OZ wheels. Sadly, the SC-5A was suffocated by new regulations before it could prove its worth. Very few SC-5As were completed between 1999 and 2002—sources variously state between six and seventeen.
Our car was registered in June, 2001, and in 2005 entered the hands of its third keeper, who cared for it until his death in 2024. It was sold to our vendor in time-warp condition in 2025, and has covered only 5,700 miles. This is backed up by MOTs, which reveal the Strathcarron was regularly tested up to 2018. It has recently been serviced and recommissioned, and shod with four new Goodyear tyres. It is supplied with twelve MOTs with not one advisory, the present being valid until March, 2027, plus an original press release, promotional materials, and period magazine articles. Much rarer than its Lotus and Ariel rivals, Strathcarrons very seldom appear for sale and we know of only two other British-registered SE-5As, both of which are SORNed.

Chassis 4954 was exported new to Australia, but was not sold until 16th January, 1918, through Fraser and Willsford Motor Importers of Sydney. The first owner was J. E. Best of Tyrone, a large farm in Coonamble, New South Wales. It was described as having a “Locally built four-seater body” with an extensive equipment list.
Jim Scott discovered the Delage in a sad state in 1969. The chassis and mechanical parts were largely present, but the body and fittings had been lost. In the 1990s it was sold to John Riley, a “mechanical engineer and perfectionist,” who later advertised it thus: “A three-year restoration followed to meticulous standards. The engine was fully reconditioned, the optional Rudge wheels completely rebuilt and a superb English-style sporting body designed and fitted using traditional methods. To this were fitted an English Eulos windscreen, Lucas bulb horn, Brolt electric lighting, and a one-man hood mechanism. The car was brush-painted in dark green and the upholstery completed in black hide over curled hair and springs.”
The completed Delage was much enjoyed by Mr. Riley, even in Sydney’s rush hour, which it “ventured through with no difficulty.” In the early 2000s, it was imported into Britain by the Ward Brothers, and was soon sold. After being registered in 2005, it was enjoyed on many rallies in Yorkshire.
The hood and weather equipment were remade in 2008. In 2011, a starter motor and alternator conversion involved the creation of a new wiring loom, and in 2016 the brake shoes and clutch were relined. The Delage entered the present ownership in 2019. Since arriving in Britain, it has been used on many Veteran Car Club tours. It is offered with paperwork including the V5C, original correspondence from Fraser and Willsford, e-mail correspondence between past owners, and various invoices since 2008.

It is often said the last of the breed is the most refined, and with over two decades of tweaking and perfecting under its belt by 1993, this is certainly true for the Corniche IV. Originally debuting in 1971, the elegant design by John Polwhele Blatchley proved to stand the test of time, as the exterior styling of the car went largely unchanged throughout its quarter of a century production history. The Corniche IV was the ultimate iteration of the original design; benefiting from the improvements of the previous three generations (including ABS, airbags, better ergonomics, and minor stylistic changes) as well as receiving a glass rear window, a power top that required no latching, and an improved A/C system. Only 219 examples of the Corniche IV were produced and is therefore the rarest, most sophisticated, and most desirable Corniche. First registered on 29 March 1993, this highly attractive example of the rare Corniche IV is understood to have been supplied new to the UK market, an unusual distinction for the model, and is one of just 26 right-hand-drive examples produced. It is understood that the car was originally delivered to Alan Simpson OBE. As one half of the influential writing partnership Galton and Simpson, Simpson helped create some of Britain’s most beloved television comedies, including Hancock’sHalfHourand SteptoeandSon . He specified the car in an elegant colour combination of Ming Blue paintwork with a matching blue convertible hood over a Beige leather interior, accented by contrasting blue piping. Precisely how long Simpson retained the Corniche remains unclear; however, following ownership by him and one subsequent keeper, the car was acquired by the vendor’s father in 1996. Evidently cherished throughout his ownership, the Rolls-Royce was reportedly maintained on a regular basis by the Chelsea Workshop in London. He retained the car until his passing in 2018, at which point it was inherited by the current vendor, having been laid up for approximately two years. Unfortunately, much of the car’s historical paperwork was lost during the administration of the estate, although the vendor intends to contact the Chelsea Workshop in an effort to obtain any surviving service records. In 2021, the vendor commissioned a programme of recommissioning work, following which the Corniche passed its first MoT test since 2016 at 34,304 miles. Since then, the car has seen only limited use, being stored in a dry garage and reserved primarily for fair-weather summer outings. As a result, the
odometer displayed just 34,658 miles at the time of consignment, representing an increase of only 354 miles over the past five years. Given its infrequent use, the decision has been made to offer the car for sale. Prior to the auction, it will benefit from a service and inspection by a Rolls-Royce specialist, together with a fresh MoT certificate. The vendor will also endeavour to obtain additional historical paperwork before the sale, although this cannot be guaranteed. The Corniche will be offered with its current V5C registration document, an invoice relating to the recommissioning work, a selection of previous MoT certificates, a spare key and the hood bag.

Following the unveiling of the AMV8 Vantage concept in 2003 at the North American International Auto Show, the production version, known as the V8 Vantage debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 for the 2006 model year. It was an immediate success, some estimating certain dealers had as much as a three-year waiting list and the car was one of only two cars added to BBC Top Gear’s ‘DB9 Section’ mini fridge, reserved for cars cooler than ‘Sub Zero’. The model would go on to receive Jeremy Clarkson’s 2005 Best Sounding Car of the Year, and Coolest Car of the Year. Nowadays, the V8 Vantage is considered one of the best-looking cars of all time and has become an undisputed modern classic.
With just c.22,500 miles recorded from new and benefiting from a recent inspection and service from AM Performance in May 2026, this example is finished in Meteorite Silver with burgundy roof and Iron Ore leather trim punctuated by silver, gloss black and aluminium trim inlays. Acquired by the vendor in 2022, approximately 7,000 miles have been covered since. Riding on 19 inch seven spoke alloy wheels, its factory specification includes headlamp washers, rear parking sensors, cruise control, multifunction steering wheel and built in media system with navigation. An electrically operated convertible wind deflector, automatic air conditioning, switchable comfort mode, push button start, analogue clock and electrically adjustable seats with three position memory enhance the driving experience. Aside from minor blemishes the paintwork is said to be “excellent” while the interior presents extremely well. The vendor advises there are no known mechanical or electrical faults and no warning lights showing on the dashboard. Serviced regularly, this stunning Aston comes with a current MOT to April 2027, Swansea V5C, owners handbook and 2 keys with fobs.

Tastefully specified in special-order Onyx Metallic paint with a Black roof and Beluga hide upholstery, carpets and roof lining, this elegant GTC remains in lovely condition all round, having covered only 67,600 miles from new. As an inspection will reveal, the paintwork and the interior would look good in a five-year-old car, never mind one which has just turned thirteen. The 20in. five-spoke alloy wheels enhance its styling, and its wider specification includes an infotainment system with iPod interface, front and rear parking sensors, power adjustable front seats, a navigation system with Google Maps, an adjustable steering column, and a Bentley GPS tracking system. As a V8 model, it will deliver tremendous performance, but with somewhat better fuel economy than its W12 sibling.
The Continental was originally sold through Bentley Manchester and has been well maintained across its life, as evidenced by the nine service stamps (plus PDI). The first three services were performed annually by Bentley main dealers between 2013 and 2015, and the remaining six have been completed at regular intervals by independent garages. The car has benefited from around £1,500 of expenditure since June, 2025, when the wheels were refurbished by AP Tyres of Rotherham. The most recent service was performed in March, 2026, at 67,290 miles, and included new spark plugs, coil packs, filters and oil. Around the same time, the Bentley was submitted for a fresh MOT, which remains valid until March, 2027.
The ideal modern grand touring car for summer, this well-preserved Continental comes with equipment including the V5C, the leather book wallet, MOT history, two recent invoices, and two keys with tracker.
Stirling Moss’s planned Alpine Rally car
Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*
Reg No: RHP 704 MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: A3501912HR00D
Having risen to prominence in Formula Three and already made a breakthrough into sports cars, the 22-year-old Stirling Moss was a fast-rising star when he was invited to drive for the Rootes Competition Department in the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally. Despite losing a gear, Moss managed to conceal the fact from scrutineers (who would otherwise have disqualified him) and drove his Sunbeam-Talbot 90 to second place, just beaten by Sydney Allard’s Allard P1. Later in ’52, he took a Sunbeam-Talbot to the Alpine Rally and won a Coupe des Alpes for an unpenalised run (his teammates George Murray-Frame and Mike Hawthorn achieved the same feat).
When the Sunbeam Alpine was launched in March, 1953, Moss and Rootes’s other star driver, Sheila Van Damm, were handed a stripped-down special which they took to Belgium’s Jabbeke highway, and drove it to a record speed of 120.135mph. When the time came for the Alpine to prove itself in rallying, Moss naturally obliged. Seven Works Alpines were fielded in the 1954 Alpine Rally, with Moss achieving third in class and a Gold Cup for completing three unpenalised runs in a row, while Van Damm clinched the Ladies’ Award.
Even more success was anticipated in 1955. The 1954 Works Alpines were sold at the end of the year, and a brand-new team of six cars, registered ‘RHP 700’ to ‘RHP 705’, was assembled specially for the Coupe des Alpes that July. Sadly, it was not to be. The terrible Le Mans tragedy which claimed the lives Pierre Levegh and more than eighty spectators had occurred in June, and the French authorities responded by immediately banning all motorsport for the foreseeable future. The Alpine Rally did not take place, and the Sunbeam Alpine’s rallying career came to an untimely end, because in 1956 it would be supplanted by the new Sunbeam Rapier sports saloon.
The car offered for sale, ‘RHP 704’, was due to be driven by Stirling Moss. Several period photographs show it being prepared ahead of the cancelled rally. Motor Sport published a description of the six team cars in its July, 1955, issue: “The cars impress by being close to standard specification—they even have quite small cast-iron brake drums with normal finning. Special seats, giving better support and saving abouts 40lb., are fitted, the ignition coil is mounted horizontally
on the near side directly in a cold-air duct, with a spare coil beside it, and twin Zenith petrol-filters are fitted. The instrument panels are devoid of rev.-counters. Experimental Dunlop tyres and a larger fuel tank placed just behind the seat are other 1955 improvements and bonnet straps will be used. The engines, with the 8.0 to 1 compression-ratio of the Alpine Special, develop 90bhp and overdrive will be available in all the gears.”
A 2011 letter from the Sunbeam Talbot Alpine Register confirms 704’s assignment to Moss. As with all the other ‘RHP’ cars, 704 was sold without having seen any action. No further history is known until 1982, when it belonged to David and Sara Jane Bevan of Cheltenham. They sold it in 1992 to Colin Mumbray, who conducted a full restoration and sold it in 2010 to our vendor, a former Rootes franchisee turned main dealer, who in more recent years has made a hobby of collecting some of the most important surviving Rootes cars. It is offered for sale with assorted historical documents and an original owner’s handbook.

Few cars can get to twenty-five years old without looking dated, but the third-generation Range Rover really does not seem to have aged. It helps that this example has been very well looked after, having had only three keepers and extensive servicing from new. The first owner kept it until 2012, and the second enjoyed using it until 2024, when the registered keeper acquired it. Between 2007 and 2012 (56,604 miles) it received five services from Jaguar Land Rover main dealer Guy Salmon of Coventry, and its sixth service was performed by GB Autotech at 77,499 miles in 2014. Five subsequent services were performed by Pitlane Ltd. of Luton, between 2015 and 2021, taking the Range Rover up to 114,834 miles. It was serviced at circa 121,900 miles by the Elite Motor Co. in January, 2024, and had its thirteenth and most recent service by Dualbrand Automotive Ltd. of Liverpool at 143,831 miles in October, 2025. The present owner has found it to be a very dependable car, and the long MOT record testifies to that. It is supplied with an MOT valid until February, 2027. The vendor describes it as “very good” in all areas.

Evolution was steady but continuous and the TR6 unveiled in 1968 was effectively a cleverly updated TR5; the body revisions for which were penned not by the TR5’s Italian designer, Michelotti, but the team at Karmann, Germany. The car’s underpinnings were broadly as per the TR5 and a total of 94,619 TR6s were produced.
Finished in Signal red, this TR6 has been freshly restored to a high standard by our vendor and prospective buyers are invited to inspect the plethora of photographs of the car during restoration from mid 2024. Originally equipped with fuel injection (being a CP model), VTC 921L benefits from a replacement engine which has been overhauled and breathes through carburettors, a far more reliable and easy to work on setup compared to the often temperamental fuel injection fitted as standard. Running smoothly and sounding well at time of consignment, gears engage smoothly with overdrive on third and fourth.

Among the rarest of all post-WW2 Bentleys, just 558 examples of the T2 were made between 1977 and 1980. Indeed, fewer than ten per cent of the bodyshells were marketed as Bentleys before the final Shadow IIs and T2s were replaced by the longer, wider, lower and more expensive R-R Silver Spirit and Bentley Mulsanne. Powered by a 6750cc V8 engine allied to a silky-smooth Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission, the hedonistic four-seater featured rack and pinion steering, improved air conditioning, more pedestrian friendly bumpers and a revised fascia.
Finished in Chestnut metallic with beige Everflex roof and beige hide, this T2 has been subject to much mechanical work carried out by Mulsanne Motors GT Ltd of Dalkeith, Midlothian, between 2024 and 2025.

Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon and was immediately available in either coupe or convertible guise. It had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a ‘cat’ with strong DNA but also its own distinctive personality. At the time of its unveiling, Jaguar was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform which was derived from that of the outgoing XJS.
Offering a rare opportunity with just c.12,200 miles from new and one former keeper, this XK8 was supplied to Paramount Jaguar Cardiff and kept in single ownership until 2020. Our vendor acquired the car soon after and has subsequently covered no more than 100 miles as proven by the online MOT history check site. In exemplary condition owing to the mileage displayed, the Sherwood Green pearl paint presents well and the Ivory leather interior is in fine condition. It is hoped to be offered with a fresh service and MOT and comes with book packs, service record, invoices, factory order form and V5C.

Chassis No: 5500E
It was common for British car-makers of the Edwardian and vintage eras to offer Colonial versions of their popular models, which were more robustly built to cope with the more extreme terrains and temperatures of foreign lands. This Colonial 14/40 differs from the standard 14/40 in having a cooling fan, wire wheels, a four-speed gearbox, four-wheel brakes, a water pump and a tachometer. It was originally despatched to New Zealand, residing around the Auckland area, before moving to the Melbourne area of Australia.
It was imported into Britain in 1990 by Bob James of Wales, and shortly after was sold to Mike R. Berry, a well-known Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist. During 1992, the Sunbeam was filmed for its rôle as the personal car of Sir Clifford Chatterley (James Wilby) in the television mini-series Lady Chatterley , which aired in 1993. After filming, it received a light overhaul, being repainted Light Grey and reupholstered with complementary Dark Red leather. Berry continued using it for the rest of the 1990s, and took it on the VSCC’s Welsh Rally, but after he sold it, it was off the road for several years prior to 2012. The present keeper, acquired it in 2016 and, as a former employee of the motor industry, has used it regularly and serviced it himself every May.
The Sunbeam comes with a very impressive history file including the V5C, many photographs including some from the Lady Chatterley filming, many Chatterley-related documents from London Film Productions Ltd., technical drawings, tax discs dating back to 1991 and a similar run of MOT certificates, an original Sunbeam 14hp List of Spare Parts, and many invoices.

Despatched from the MG factory bound for Salmons Tickford on the 18th of May 1937 as a rolling chassis, ‘AAJ 654’ was supplied bodied in Tickford’s attractive Drophead Coupé coachwork, and was registered new on the 9th of July 1937 in Scarborough. Its known history begins in 2012, when it was subject to an extremely comprehensive bare-chassis, photo-documented restoration in as close to original specification as possible, by the renowned SA, VA and WA specialists SVW Services. It then entered into the previous ownership the following year (2013). The speedometer was zeroed upon the conclusion of the restoration and now shows just 1,630 post-restoration miles, with less than 100 having been covered since the vendor’s acquisition from H&H during 2022.
A fastidious and caring custodian, our vendor houses his not-insignificant private collection in a purpose built temperature and humidity controlled garage, and each vehicle within it is regularly maintained and detailed to ensure that it is preserved in tip-top mechanical and cosmetic order. As such, we feel that this example could still present as the finest example of its kind in existence today, and its high-quality restoration looks as if it was completed only in very recent years. Supplied with a history file that contains its current V5C, previously mentioned photobook of the restoration, numerous invoices for works since and the original chassis plate, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a rare and highly versatile pre-war classic that may just be a show-winner in the future.

Reg No: 7777 WW MOT: Exempt Chassis No: DB4/341/R
Debuting at first the Paris and then London Motor Shows of 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 was a world class high-performance GT. Some four years in the making, its gestation was overseen by the marque’s Technical Director John Wyer. Working alongside Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, Harold Beech developed a robust sheetsteel platform chassis which could accommodate the Italian coachbuilder’s ‘Superleggera’ or ‘Super Light’ method of body construction (whereby hand beaten aluminium alloy panels are fitted over a cage-like structure of smalldiameter support tubes). Equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Watts linkage located ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the model was powered by a new all-alloy DOHC straight-six engine. Displacing 3670cc thanks to its ‘square’ bore and stroke dimensions (92mm x 92mm), the sophisticated powerplant was designed by Tadek Merak.
Interestingly, the Polish-born engineer is thought to have fought Wyer’s wishes for a more competition friendly 3-litre unit and to have initially favoured castiron construction. With a quoted 240bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap, the twodoor fixed-head also boasted a four-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds, 0-100mph in 21 seconds and 140mph, the DB4 won rave reviews from the likes of Autocar and Motor magazines. Despite a well-stocked dashboard, finest Connolly hides and thick carpets, the refinement of early cars was compromised by wind roar at speed. Frames were quickly adopted for the side windows as a result and the 2+2 progressively refined through five series (a process that also saw it put on weight). Introduced in January 1960, the Series II variant was distinguished by its front-hinged bonnet, flat glass opening rear quarter lights, uprated front brake callipers and increased oil sump capacity. Of the 1,110 DB4s made, just 350 are thought to have been Series II cars (chassis DB4/251/L to DB4/600/R).
According to its accompanying copy build record, chassis DB4/341/R was supplied new via Charles Sidney Ltd to Hunslet Holdings Ltd of Leeds whose subsidiary, the Hunslet Engine Co., had been renowned railway locomotive builders since 1865. Originally finished in Snow Shadow Grey (the forerunner of James Bond’s preferred Silver Birch) and trimmed with Red Connolly leather upholstery, the fixed head coupe was granted the distinctive number plate ‘7777 WW’ and had its
manufacturer guarantee issued on May 27th 1960. Copy factory service records on file show that the DB4 covered 11,000 miles during its first twelve months and was fitted with a steering wheel boss extension during February 1964. The latter modification is presumed to have coincided with J.F. Whitfield Esq of Sunningdale, Berkshire becoming the car’s second keeper.
Exported to Australia sometime thereafter, the Aston Martin was bought by A.J. Fraser Esq of Hamilton, Victoria in 1978 for $7,500 AUD. Sporting the distinctive number plate ‘AM 370’ (a nod to its 3.7 litre powerplant) and reportedly the beneficiary of an extensive engine overhaul, he registered the DB4 with the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS). Campaigned on an ad hoc basis at the likes of Arthur’s Seat, Winton and Philip Island from the late 1970s through to the early 2000s, chassis DB4/341/R also ran at assorted sprint and hillclimb meetings. Still Snow Shadow Grey when Mr Fraser acquired it, the fixed head coupe was twice repainted during his thirty-seven year tenure (first Dark Blue and then the current Light Blue Metallic). He also had the Aston Martin’s interior retrimmed to original specification in Black leather. Primarily enjoyed as a road car, the DB4 was nonetheless uprated with a competition clutch.
Repatriated by the long established, high-end dealership Howard Wise Cars in 2015, they entrusted the Aston Martin to marque specialist Rikki Cann for a brake and suspension overhaul plus attention to the heater and ignition system etc. The associated invoice runs to six pages and totals some £8,900. Sold to the vendor by Mr Wise in November 2015, the DB4 has since formed part of a significant private collection. Stabled alongside various other ‘DB’ Astons and tended to by an inhouse mechanic, chassis DB4/341/R started readily and ran well during a recent inspection. Gently patinated but still presentable, the car has an authentic feel. Reunited with its original UK registration number, the number stamped into the Aston Martin’s engine mirrors the one stated on its chassis plate. Now offered for sale as part of a collection reduction, this desirable DB4 is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, copy build record, assorted Australian documentation, Rikki Cann invoice and sundry other paperwork.

A strong and athletic car even in standard tune, this Austin-Healey has been turned into an even more formidable performer following a past engine overhaul to a more powerful specification. A desirable Mk. I BT7 two-plus-two model, ‘1433 BT’ was originally built in January, 1960, as a right-hand drive, home-market car, painted Healey Blue with Blue trim and hood. Its equipment included disc wheels, a heater, a Black hardtop, an adjustable steering column and overdrive, and it was despatched for sale through Cornelius Parish Ltd. of Kingston-upon-Hull.
Although little subsequent history is known, ‘1433 BT’ was in use during the late 2010s, and was MOTed annually with no advisories between 2016 and 2018, when, of course, it became exempt. At some stage in the past, it received extensive upgrades through the well-respected Austin-Healey tuning specialist Denis Welch Motorsport, which included the complete overhaul of the engine to a super sports specification. Among the uprated parts are a high-lift cam, an alternator, a spin-on oil filter, a six-branch manifold, a side-exit exhaust, and competition overdrive. It has been poly-bushed and is said to “drive superbly” on 72-spoke wheels. All-alloy wings have been fitted, and in recent years it received a new hood frame and side screens. Our vendor purchased the Healey in March, 2023, and after effecting some light refurbishment and coating the underside with Dinitrol, has proceeded to enjoy it when time and weather have allowed.
Still a good-looking machine when stationary and a thrilling ride when in motion, this lovely Big Healey is supplied with the current V5C, recent MOT history, a BMIHT certificate, invoices from AH Spares, Denis Welch Motorsport and other specialists, and some technical information and maintenance data.

Initially granted the Isle of Ely numberplate ‘BEB 404B’ on December 1st 1964, chassis 1B52474DN belonged to Cyril Wickens Esq of nearby Fordham when the DVLA computerised its records during the late 1970s. Taken off the road in 1983, the Jaguar passed to Gerald Tams Esq eleven years later. A pottery magnate resident at Fradswell Hall, Mr Tams tasked marque specialist Don Law with substantially restoring the S-Type between 1997 and 1999. In total the cosmetic and mechanical work took 2,271 hours and cost some £68,275 excluding VAT (or £80,233 including VAT at the then rate of 17.5%). The paintwork was subcontracted to XK Engineering and numerous parts were sourced from Martin Robey but the majority of the expense was labour (£43,149 + VAT). Mr Law charges rather more than £19 per hour for these days meaning that the same project would cost over £250,000 today. Sadly, Mr Tams died before enjoying the car and it was down to his successor John Costello Esq to complete the de-bugging process with assistance from Royles Jaguar and Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth (the latter fitting Harvey Bailey suspension components etc). Becoming the sports saloon’s fourth registered keeper in 2011, the vendor used it for a variety of events including the VSCC’s Pomeroy Trophy and several trans Alpine sorties. Said to be ‘a highly accomplished long distance tourer’, ‘6535 VT’ benefits from a dual fuel (petrol / LPG) conversion that Mr Costello commissioned. Maintained and prepared for the seller by Richardson Race & Restoration of Tamworth (the associated bills totalling over £10,000), the Jaguar boasts a refurbished dynamo, reconditioned overdrive, retro-look stereo and uprated brake pads. Pleasingly retaining what it appears to be its original Red leather upholstery, this exceptional S-Type is offered for sale with V5C and history file.

The R230 generation of Mercedes-Benz SL Class was introduced at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show and 2001 Bologna Motor Show, replacing the R129. The R230 underwent revisions in 2006 and 2008 with SL600 being the highest output version of the non-AMG SL Class models. It uses a remarkably robust twin-turbo 5.5-litre V12 engine which produced 493bhp, thus making it a very rapid luxury sports car with 60mph achieved in just 3.6 seconds when tested by Car and Driver despite the factory stating the figure at more modest 4.7! Just over 4,000 SL 600s were made with very few in right-hand drive before the model was superseded by the R231 SL in 2011.
Finished in Green Black Metallic with an exclusive Graphite Nappa leather interior this rare UK supplied R230 SL 600 currently registers some 90,000 miles. Comprehensively equipped from new, specification includes cruise control, heated seats, multi-function steering wheel, heated electric mirrors, individual front heating controls, Command system and auto-dimming rear view mirror etc. Increasingly sought after, this SL comes with Owners’ wallet, handbooks and stamped service book, a collection of invoices, Swansea V5C document and current MOT to December 2026.

Built from 1962 to 1969, the Daimler 2½ V8 (renamed V8 250 in 1967) was the first model to be produced by the marque on a Jaguar platform, and the last Daimler to feature its own engine.
This UK market RHD example supplied by Saunders Garage on 23rd December 1968 with JDH certification confirming its originality, shows five former keepers on its V5C and a list of previous owners with corresponding ownership dates accompanies it. Acquired by the vendor from a classic car dealer in 2022, cooling issues resulted in it benefiting from much work in August that year by Essex-based Daimler V8 specialists, Robert Grinter Restorations. This included removal of the engine and automatic gearbox, core plug replacement, a new fuel tank and overhauled carburettors. All necessary works were completed and an invoice for this totals over £10,000. Impressed with the car, the company issued a glowing testimonial as to its driving characteristics afterwards. Offered with sundry invoices, MOT certificates back to 1979, maintenance diagrams and V5C, it is finished in its original specification of light blue with dark blue Ambla interior. The wood veneer has been professionally refinished and polished to a high degree, presenting excellently today.

All 1982 Corvettes were built with a 5.7-litre (350ci) V8 and four-speed automatic transmission, but they were notable as the very first Corvettes to have the Crossfire electronic fuel injection, which returned for the ‘C4’. This particular car displays several desirable factory options, including the aluminium wheels; glass roof panels (still with factory stickers and security etchings); power windows, mirrors and door locks; Tilt-Telescopic steering column; air conditioning; the extremely rare eight-track stereo; Dark Red leather bucket seats; and the 1982-only two-tone paint in Silver Metallic and Dark Claret Metallic. Just 1,301 cars were completed in that colour scheme, approximately half having the Red interior.
The earliest record of ownership is a 1984 Florida title, which names the owners as Russell B. Yowell Jr. and (we assume) his wife Deborah, who lived in Tampa. In 1990, after 8,300 miles, they sold it to John Colman of Winter Haven, but in 1991 Colman crossed the Atlantic, settling in Heathfield, Sussex, and brought the Corvette with him. He kept it until 1994; the next owner had it until 2002, and it was then in single ownership until 2017, when our vendor—the fourth British owner—bought it.
Having evidently been cherished from new (and covered a remarkable 22,700 miles), it is supplied with a vast history file, which includes the original assembly, workshop and owner’s manuals, many tax discs, an original set of spare keys, historic Florida titles and purchase invoices, assorted invoices for work and maintenance, and many MOTs from 1991 onwards. There is also a valuation report issued by Dart (‘The Corvette People’) in 2016 at £27,000. Corvettes have a strong following in Britain, and such a good example as this one is bound to turn heads at Classic Corvette Club UK meetings and other American car events with its exceptional originality.

Hard as it may be to believe, there was a time when people didn’t appreciate Series Land-Rovers like they do nowadays. This lovely “lights through grille” 80in. model was in single ownership from 1982 to 2009, but in all that time it just languished unused, steadily deteriorating. The next owner, from 2009 to 2015, saved it from further decay, but restoration did not commence until our vendor purchased it in 2015 and immediately had it stripped down to its frame.
A new galvanised chassis was purchased from Richards Chassis and painted the correct colour, while the original 1,600cc engine was overhauled. Stanwood Engineering, a member of the Federation of Engine Rebuilders, rebored the block, reground the crank, and skimmed the head; new shell bearings, piston rings and valves were installed. The brakes were overhauled with new lines, and a new clutch was fitted, as well as a reconditioned Fairey overdrive. The propshaft was reconditioned, the axles and steering were overhauled, and the electrics were completely rewired, with a discreet alternator conversion taking place. The Land-Rover’s exterior was repainted, and the leathercloth upholstery and canvas top were recovered with new material from Exmoor Trim.
As well as the engine, the gearbox and axles are also the original items, and so is the bulkhead—the vendor pleasingly opted to have it repaired rather than replaced. The frame tubes are the correct shape for the model, and the steering wheel even retains its Bakelite boss. The restoration was completed in 2020, and ‘LYE 272’ is now logged on the 1948-53 register of the Land Rover Series One Club. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, this Landy should still make for an excellent all-purpose workhorse for those who aren’t afraid of a splash of mud, or an iconic British classic for shows.

In standard tune, the XK120 may have been the sports car par excellence of its day, but over the decades racers and specialist tuners have found ways to get even more out of its athletic engine, and this glorious example has benefitted from all manner of performance tweaks, while still retaining its period look and feel. It was manufactured as a left-hand drive Open Two-Seater on October 18th, 1950, finished in Black with Biscuit and Red upholstery and a Black top. It was despatched on November 15th to Hornburg, the Los Angeles distributor, and from there was sold viâthe Peter Satori dealership of Beverley Hills to M. B. Mendelson. Marvin Mendelson just happened to be a very prolific racer with the Sports Car Club of America, with a particular penchant for the XK120.
Sadly, the precise details of Mendelson’s relationship with this car are not well-documented, but results indicate that he was racing an XK120 between 1952 and 1954. A photograph of the time shows him with a stripped-down OTS sporting whitewall tyres and a pin-up girl painted on the side; we believe that to be the car offered here. We now turn our head to British soil, and the activities of gentleman racer Dick Protheroe, one of the foremost Jaguar drivers of the ’50s and ’60s. His association with Browns Lane began in 1952 while he was stationed in Egypt, when he bought one of the first aluminium-bodied XK120s to race. That car, ‘GPN 635’, was campaigned heavily after Protheroe shipped it back to Britain in 1953, but he would become most famous for his exploits in the 1960s with two E-types bearing the ‘CUT 7’ number plate.
Protheroe was still winning races with ‘GPN’ in 1959, but that same year he bought another XK120, ‘MXJ 954’, which he modified with disc brakes and Weber carburettors. His third XK120 before he progressed to E-types was ‘CUT 6’, which had a 3.8-litre engine and “every possible modification.” By 1960, ‘MXJ’ had passed to R. A. Gibson and was also fitted with a 3.8-litre (3,781cc) engine. It continued to race, with Gibson notably winning the Over 1,600cc GT class at the Norfolk Trophy Race Meeting at Snetterton in the spring of 1960 (and setting the class’s fastest lap at 84.25mph), and finishing third overall in the 10-lap Wrotham Trophy GT race at the Brands Hatch August Bank Holiday Meeting.
Our interest in Protheroe stems from the fact that, in recent years, this XK120 has been prepared as a faithful tribute to ‘MXJ’, not only with disc brakes, 3.8-litre engine and easily exchangeable aero screens, but also with a rebody in aluminium alloy, 16in. wheels, a lightweight hardtop, and a funnelled bonnet (the latter is not shown in our photographs).
‘LOE 606’ was imported by well-known XK racing specialists Tester Engineering, and purchased from them by our vendor in July, 2013. It was then built up to racing specification over five years, with the initial plans for a club racer gradually evolving until this uncompromising Protheroe tribute was decided upon. In order to obtain certification from the FIA, meticulous adherence to period specification was insisted upon, and the FIA Technical Passport was issued in 2019, placing it in Class TSRC6, in the Special GT category for Period E (1947-61). Previously, it had still been eligible for some race meetings, and débuted at Silverstone with the HSCC in October, 2015. It has raced on several occasions but has covered only 2,000 miles since its début, and in more recent years has been equipped for road use rather than racing. Said to produce 273bhp at 5,500rpm and 282lb. ft. of torque at 3,800rpm, its specification further includes a bespoke stainless steel gas-flowed inlet manifold, a lightened flywheel, lightened and balanced crankshaft and con-rods, forged aluminium race pistons, Tester racing valves and high-lift camshafts, a ported and polished cylinder head, electronic ignition and electric fans, four speeds and overdrive, a Powerlok differential, and heavy-duty racing springs.

Far from a standard Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, this exceptionally well-specified example was first registered with the DVLA on 10 April 2006. Finished in elegant Nero Daytona Metallic, it is complemented by a matching Nero leather interior trimmed in Ferrari’s desirable Daytona style. Further enhancing its appeal, the car was ordered with a number of sought-after factory options, most notably the HGTS handling package, which introduced a sports exhaust system, revised suspension calibration and stiffer anti-roll bars for a more focused driving experience. Completing the sporting aesthetic are grey 20-inch 599 Challenge-style alloy wheels set over Giallo Modena brake callipers, while Scuderia Ferrari shields mounted to the front wings provide a distinctive finishing touch.
The accompanying V5C records five former keepers prior to the vendor. The first three custodians owned the car until 2011, after which it remained with its fourth owner for over a decade until 2022. Following a brief period with one further owner, the Ferrari was acquired by the current vendor in 2024.
Throughout its life, the 2+2 grand tourer has benefitted from exemplary maintenance and careful stewardship. It retains its original book pack and is accompanied by a comprehensive service history comprising both Ferrari main dealer and marque specialist servicing. Most recently, the car was serviced at approximately 29,000 miles, while its cambelts were replaced around 4,000 miles ago.
Now showing just over 30,000 miles from new, this highly specified 612 Scaglietti presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Ferrari’s finest modern grand tourers. It is offered with its original book pack and current V5C registration document.

This thrilling Super Sports started life with a Red body and wheels, Black wings, and a Matchless MX4 engine, and was despatched to the Colmore Depot distributor in Liverpool on November 1st, 1934. In more recent years, however, it has been fitted with a JAP LTOW/Z V-twin and a host of other modifications.
The ownership history of ‘BVU 150’ is known from c.1970, when it belonged to James Ramsay Duncan of Windygates, Fife. Around 1980, it passed to Clifford Dearden of Doncaster, and then was acquired in 1992 by D. T. (Dermot) O’Brien, who remarked: “The vehicle has suffered badly over recent years, however I intend to restore it as close to original condition as possible.”
It has changed hands a few times since and did get restored to a high standard, if not to original condition. Apart from the JAP, upgrades include electric radiator fans, an alternator and what we believe to be a Morris 1000 hydraulic brake conversion. Following its sale in 2014, the Morgan received a major engine overhaul by George Darbyshire for £1,416, which included a new clutch, starter motor, starter ring and alternator belts. However, it had to be overhauled again in 2017 following a cylinder barrel it cost of £5,503, including the acquisition of new water-cooled barrels from MFC Castings, 86mm high-compression Accralite pistons, a new twin-carburettor manifold and two Amal Mk. I 30mm carburettors. Most recently, the starter motor was refurbished and a new regulator and alternator were fitted by Mike Underdown.
A great machine for use in both pre-war car and motorcycle circles, this Morgan is supplied with the V5C and 1992 V5, correspondence, MOTs issued from 1984 to 1987 and in 2011, plus many technical articles and drawings, plus an original Three-Wheeler Instruction Book and other related literature.

A ground-up restoration was initiated over a 10-year period at huge cost, with thousands of hours spent, and was finally completed in the spring of 2020. The Jaguar is said to perform and run ‘extremely’ well and can be used every day if required, or for fun days out or on the track.
The exterior has had panels replaced as required, the shell prepped and painted and under-sealed, Coombs arches and bonnet fitted, new chrome work and 15” Minilite wheels (a set of chrome wire wheels are included). The interior has been treated to new black leather seats, door cards, and black carpet set with new headlining, refurbished wood, Nardi steering wheel, Webasto sunroof and custom centre console. ‘MXD 533E’ has received fully refurbished brakes upgraded using many XJ6 components, Series 2 XJ6 gearbox and MkII Jaguar axle fitted with new limited slip diff, bearings and seals. Suspension is fully powder coated with poly bush kit, front adjustable shocks, 5-link rear suspension kit with adjustable coil overs and steering is by Series 2 XJ6 steering rack with power steering. The engine is an overhauled Series 2 XJ6 4.2 injection engine with 6 branch header exhaust manifolds, full 2 ¼” stainless exhaust system, new petrol tank and Aero equipped fuel lines, motorsport fuel pump, custom engine wiring loom and oil cooler. On the rolling road at ‘Mikeanics’ it was shown to be making 200bhp at 4500rpm with 214lb ft at 3700rpm. Cooling is by alloy radiator with electric fan. A full set of wire wheels are included should the new owner wish to fit them.

Ford billed the Capri as ‘The car you always promised yourself’ and some 1.9 million customers agreed during the production years of 1968 to 1986. The original plan for the run-out of this European ‘pony car’ was to build 500 turbo examples with the assistance of independent specialist Turbo Technics. However, with 1,038 chassis still needing homes, the ultimate decision was taken to christen them ‘Capri 280’ and equip each one with Brooklands Green paintwork, Red-piped Raven Black interior trim and 15inch seven-spoke alloy wheels. Around 10 percent of purchasers opted for the turbo conversion, while the remaining cars were normally aspirated. Even in unturbocharged form the performance was brisk, with 60mph available in 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 130mph. Founded in 1981 by Geoff Kershaw, a former Garrett Ai-Research engineer, Turbo Technics turned their attention to Capris soon after. Ford’s 2.8-litre V6 was an ideal base for tuning and power outputs were raised from a standard 160bhp to well over 200 bhp and even up to 280bhp.
1 of just 1,038 Capri 280 Brooklands produced, and 1 of a reported 130 examples fitted from new with the Turbo Technics conversion, this Capri 280 Brooklands currently displays just c.38,000 miles from new. In 2016 the car was treated to a through restoration and photographs of this work are included in the large history file accompanying it. Finished in iconic Brooklands Green with traditional Raven Grey Recaro sports interior, OCF 280 is also offered with assorted old MOT certificates, maintenance receipts and a current MOT to August 2026. A rare example that is increasingly sought after by collectors.
Just one owner and 600 miles!
Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000*
Silver Shadows were built in relatively large numbers for a Rolls-Royce and they have a high survival rate, so finding a good example should not be difficult. We very much doubt another one will come to the market that’s as good as this one, though – as an all-original, supremely well-preserved example from the last year of Shadow I production, which has had just one owner and covered only 600 miles from new, we can confidently proclaim it to be a unique opportunity. Finished in Walnut paint with Beige hide, ‘SDU 999R’ was sold new to our vendor through the Leyland distributor P. J. Evans Ltd. in Birmingham. It still presents as ordered, with whitewall tyres, and the knee roll and console covered with hide. Our vendor was, at the time, running his own Chrysler/Rootes dealership in Warwickshire, and the new Rolls-Royce set him back £16,897.75 before tax.
The Shadow saw the majority of its use within the first few months of its life, as evidenced by the one and only service stamp, which was issued by P. J. Evans at 412 miles in November, 1977. Subsequent use amounted to just a few dozen miles per year, or less, including for the vendor’s daughter’s wedding in 1986, until the car was placed into storage after 590 miles in 1993. A couple of other fleeting journeys brought its total mileage up to 604.
To suppose that the Rolls-Royce simply languished thereafter would be to grossly underestimate the vendor. Besides being a dealer, he has always been a very sympathetic enthusiast and in more recent years he has turned to collecting important historic cars, with a particular fondness for unrestored, low-mileage examples. As soon as the Shadow came off the road in 1993, it went into a climate-controlled garage, where it has been preserved on axle stands and underneath a tailored cover. As such, we are advised that the car is entirely original mechanically (save for the service parts) and also cosmetically, with the single exception of the coach line. That was polished off, so Rolls-Royce sent a man to refinish it. The vendor tells us that the man had two jobs that day—one was his car, and the other belonged to the Sultan of Brunei!
We are pleased to be offering the car fresh from gentle recommissioning. In May, 2026, the vendor cleaned out the fuel system and fitted a new fuel pump, filters and hoses, and replaced the battery. It was seen to start willingly and run very
well during our photograph session, and we would might even go so far as to say it seemed as good as new. However, more thorough recommissioning will be required if it is to go back on the road.
Perhaps the best thing about this car, apart from its condition, is the fact it comes complete with all the factory-supplied literature, plus its original sales invoice from P. J. Evans. Everything Rolls-Royce put into the book pack is still present, and so are eight MOT certificates from the car’s sixteen intermittent years on the road, plus a few tax discs. A small spares package is also supplied.
A true museum-quality piece, this Shadow is fully deserving of a sympathetic owner who will continue to preserve it, and perhaps show it from time to time. We have no doubt that it will receive a very warm reception at Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club events, and it certainly has concours-winning potential.
Bodied by Cross & Ellis
Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000*
Built during the third batch of the SA’s all-too-brief production run, Alvis chassis records confirm that chassis 10603 started life as a four-seater by Cross & Ellis, painted Black, with Brown leather upholstery and Black wheels. Conveniently for this car’s restoration, the Cross & Ellis Four-Seater was the subject of a road test in The Autocar of May 13th, 1932, which illustrated the body in side profile. It also waxed lyrical about what it termed “the finest fast tourer [Alvis] have yet made.”
The road-tester proceeded: “It is fast—90 miles an hour is very fast indeed for a four-seater with wings and lamps in position; but it is also priceless to handle in the ordinary way, so that a perfectly normal driver finds himself adding 15 or 20 per cent. to his previous best average speeds over roads he knows without need to use high maxima or to behave with road manners unbecoming to gentle motorists.
“A more pleasant and safer-feeling car it would be hard to imagine. Alive and taut, so that the radiator does not betray a quiver even over rough surfaces, the car nevertheless does not feel in the least hard or harsh… there is a feeling which is indescribable and also exceedingly attractive, with a most remarkable ability to go round corners fast.
“Excellent in every way, the engine is never rough, never harsh nor bad-mannered, is perfectly suave, and for all that it can drive the car fast, will run with complete docility at low speeds… Along an open road the engine appears to revel in round about 70mph as a comfortable cruising speed, when it seems ready to hum along forever.”
Sadly, 10603 comes with no record of ownership prior to 1978, when it belonged to Mr. Alan Geggus of Romford, who had it for twenty years. When Mr. Kenneth Briggs bought it in 1998, nothing remained but a bare chassis. He then set about restoring it over just over fifteen years, with the Speed 20 returning to the road in 2015. The late Alvis specialist Chris Compton was heavily involved with the restoration, particularly with the engine, which was overhauled with a new Phoenix crankshaft, new con-rods and white-metal bearings, a raised compression ratio and a new camshaft (reputedly a sports cam). New bodywork was constructed as a close copy of the original, following the side-profile photograph published in The Autocar.
The Alvis had covered just a few hundred post-restoration miles at the time it was sold to our vendor in 2016 (though he was not officially logged as the registered
keeper until 2019). Since then, he has not had to trouble himself with anything much besides the usual light maintenance and servicing. He has attended to the tappets, sparking plugs, points and idle speed as and when appropriate, changed the oil and flushed the coolant. Other maintenance has included some minor wiring repairs, the stripping, cleaning and adjusting of the brakes, and the replacement of the windscreen after it developed a crack. Also, in 2018, the fuel gauge and sender unit were reconditioned for £185 by Adrian Sidwell Auto Instrument Services.
Undoubtedly one of the best four-seater sports cars of its day, ideal for VSCC motoring, and the recipient of a truly first-class restoration, this Alvis is supplied with paperwork including the V5C, correspondence with Mr. Briggs, copies of the Alvis build sheet and the 1932 Autocar road test, an invoice from Adrian Sidwell and a 2003 Alvis Owner Club Bulletin .

Belonging to members of the Linton family thereafter, it then passed to Kate Middleton (not HRH) and Jonathan Downing. Taking possession in late 2006, the latter entrusted it to the UK’s leading specialist, W123 World, for a full re-trim (the Beige velour being supplanted by similarly hued leather) and various other works with the interior revamp being showcased in the Mercedes-Benz Club’s Gazette magazine (December 2009 issue). Purchased by W123 World from Mr Downing during 2022 because it was the only Coupe finished in Blauschwarz Metallic that they had encountered, proprietors Alex and Mark Cosovic set-up treating it to an exhaustive mechanical and cosmetic restoration. The process is documented via a five-page synopsis and numerous photographs but included attention to the engine, automatic gearbox, differential, sunroof, heater matrix, brakes, suspension, steering, bodyshell, brightwork, paintwork, Zebrano wood veneers, door mirrors, wheel bearings and electric windows etc. The brake and fuel lines were painted factory green and the faded orange instrument needles brought back to their former glory. Riding on rejuvenated steel wheels shod with fresh tyres and refurbished hubcaps, ‘B115 YTT’ was christened ‘Black Pearl’ by the Cosovics (which is how MB USA more romantically termed ‘Blauschwarz’) before being sold to the vendor, its fourth registered keeper, for £50,000 in 2023.

Displaying a fantastic level of originality and a really characterful patina, this Chevy was imported into Britain by Route 66 Auto Antiques in 2020, registered with the DVLA in January, 2021, and then sold a few days later to its only British owner so far. Evidently a farm truck in a previous life, when it arrived on British shores it was slightly the worse for wear in some areas, but our vendor has since invested considerable time and money in putting them right. The engine has received a top-end overhaul and a new carburettor, the electrics have been converted from six to twelve volts, and the formerly tired interior has been fully upholstered with new Italian leather. The original pick-up bed had deteriorated, so a brand-new one was custom-made. Some very sympathetic bodywork repairs were performed underneath one of the headlights and at the rear cab corners.
Since then, every effort has been made to preserve the truck in its original guise. The vendor has always kept it in a temperature-controlled garage, and the bodywork has been protected by a coat of Ankor Wax which he has cleaned off and reapplied every six months. Altogether, roughly £35,000 has been spent on the vendor’s programme of renovation and upkeep. Even the original heater is still in working order. The vendor points out that the upholstery is the only significant deviation from original specification, but a purist or restorer would find it easy to change, as the seats and door cards are still the original pattern. We are advised, too, that the Chevrolet has always been a reliable vehicle, and has never failed to start for the vendor. Such a well-preserved truck as this is sure to be a head-turner wherever it goes.

Launched in 1975, Jaguar’s XJ-S was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads and so came with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and a sophisticated electric hood. Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed-Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.
Finished in the decidedly elegant combination of Regency Red metallic with Magnolia leather upholstery (the latter piped Red and offset via Nutmeg carpets), chassis 173795 was initially retained by its supplying dealer, Henlys of London. Whether this was for use by a director or as a demonstrator is unknown. The property of an international music producer thereafter, the 5.3 litre V12-powered Convertible belonged to its previous keeper for over a decade during which time the XJ-S was crowned ‘Best Road Going Jaguar’ at a Jaguar Drivers’ Club Concours d’Elegance meeting. Part of a private collection since 2019, the two-seater boasts an extensive service / maintenance history with a recent brake system overhaul and new Black mohair soft-top costing some £5,000. Riding on correct lattice alloys shod with fresh tyres, the XJ-S is said to be in ‘lovely order’ and to ‘drive very well’ as one might expect given its award winning past. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, concours certificate, tool kit, wind deflector and fresh MOT certificate.

Possibly the most stylish car in this sale, this Citroën SM is all the more remarkable for being one of the 327 originally sold new in the United Kingdom; it is also very desirably fitted with a manual gearbox. The DVLA records only four registered keepers across its fifty-three-year life, which is entirely credible as it has been in the single ownership of a well-respected Citroën specialist since 1989. Consequently, the very low mileage reading of 73,600 is more than likely the original mileage from new, and it includes very little in the way of recent miles because, for most of this century, the SM has been enjoyed simply as a static display piece and has not been on the road.
The SM’s life as a showpiece began just after it received a full repaint in its original colour approximately twenty years ago. In most other respects, it is a thoroughly original car, and potentially a candidate for a concours preservation class. The only other deviation from the factory finish, as far as we are aware, is the fitment of a full stainless steel exhaust. Although it has seen minimal use in recent years, it started, ran and drove well for our photoshoot.
Few designs of the 1970s have aged as well as the Citroën SM, and their desirability shows no signs of abating. This must be one of the best on the market, considering its condition, originality and specification. It is complete with its V5C, and we would draw attention to the fact that the private registration number is included in the sale.

Chassis No: B382002256HROFE
The Sunbeam Tiger was conceived in the West Coast of the USA and inspired by the success of the AC Cobra - the result of inserting a small-block American V8 engine into the nose of the British AC Ace. Rootes American Motors Inc. saw the potential for performing a similar operation on the stylish four-cylinder Sunbeam Alpine. Preliminary research suggested that the engine used to produce the Cobra - Ford’s 4.3-litre (260ci) ‘Windsor’ unit - would be the appropriate powerplant, and a prototype was commissioned from Carroll Shelby, the man behind the Cobra project, who would entrust famous GT40 racer Ken Miles with setting it all up. Unveiled at the April 1964 New York Motor Show, the resultant Tiger incorporated uprated steering, suspension and brake assemblies but retained the Alpine’s basic layout and sheetmetal. With a quoted 164bhp/258lbft on tap, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in under eight seconds and 120mph. Later, the MkII Tiger was launched which would be fitted with the larger 4.7-litre (289ci) engine - which was sadly only available in Left Hand Drive format. Distinguishing itself on race tracks and rally stages alike, the model accounted for some 7,085 sales from 1964-1967.
This even rarer than usual Mk1-A variant of the iconic and potent Sunbeam Tiger is believed to be fitted with its original 260 engine and has been subjected to significant and recent Tiger specialist works. Finished in red with black hood and black interior, this extremely handsome example rides on Minilite alloy wheels and is offered for sale with a history file and current Swansea V5C.

Chassis No: 1E 14117
Driven by the likes of Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Bruce McLaren, Jaguar’s Series 1 E-Type Roadster won on its competitive debut. Some sixty-five years later, it continues to impress at historic race meetings such as the Goodwood Revival. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Trace Certificate, chassis 1E14117 was completed on November 24th 1966 to left-hand drive specification. Originally finished in Opalescent Maroon with Black leather upholstery and a Black soft-top, the Series 1 4.2 Litre Roadster was dispatched to Jaguar Cars, New York the following month. Repatriated from South Carolina, USA during 2009, the two-seater has since been NOVA declared with all relevant duties paid (meaning that UK road registration should be relatively straightforward). Entrusted to the Philip Jordan Racing Team of Skegness with instructions that it be prepared for competition usage, the Jaguar is said to have benefited from new floorpans, sills and various other Martin Robey replacement panels. The front subframe has been renewed and a USA-specification 4.2 litre engine installed. Fuelled via twin Stromberg carburettors, the straight-six is reportedly allied to a close-ratio four-speed manual gearbox. The bonnet is a replacement item and the rear wheelarches have been flared to allow the fitment of wider wheels / tyres. As can be seen from the photos, the project has lost momentum. The front suspension has been lowered but the rear has yet to be recalibrated. The now RHD E-Type is understood to come with a variety of parts which should help its completion including: a stainless-steel exhaust system, refurbished radiator, partially renewed wiring loom, fuel pump / new fuel lines, side windows, brake discs / callipers, seat covers / carpets, pedals, light lenses and Vredstein tyres. Surely worthy of a return to road or track, this tempting Series 1 Roadster is offered for sale with the aforementioned NOVA paperwork and sundry invoices.

Chassis No: SCBLC31E12CH08118
This superb Red Label has covered only 48,000 miles from new and boasts a most impressive service record. Originally sold through Harwoods of Sussex in Pulborough, it is finished in the elegant colour scheme of Verdant Green with Oatmeal hide and Green carpets and piping. It was built to a very high specification, including satellite navigation, digital climate control, cruise control, a six-CD changer, parking sensors, headlamp washers, a power-adjustable steering column, heated and power-adjustable seats with memory settings, power windows, power-operated heated mirrors, an immobiliser and 18in alloy wheels.
Recent owners have all been enthusiasts, including members of the Bentley Drivers’ Club, but every owner appears to have had great sympathy for it, judging by its service record. The book contains no fewer than sixteen service stamps (plus the original customer assurance check). Of those, the first nine, running up to 2010 and 34,374 miles, were performed by main dealers, and the next five were performed by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Alastair Scott Services and the Classic Car Warehouse. The two most recent stamps were issued by an independent garage, C. & L. Motors, the latest at 45,419 miles in September, 2024.
The Arnage has additionally benefited from more involved maintenance, as in 2020 when the rear gas suspension springs were replaced by Bowling-Ryan Prestige. In 2022, a new gas strut park release was supplied by Flying Spares, and around £3,300 was spent on a new battery, front and rear brake discs and pads, an air-conditioning regas, five new tyres, and the rear gas struts. Most recently, a new ABS sensor was supplied by RR&B Services. Carrying an MOT valid until October, 2026, it is supplied with assorted invoices and past MOTs, the original book pack, and will have a fresh service for the sale.

Revised for the final time ahead of the 1986 model year, MercedesBenz’s iconic R107-series SL range gained stiffer suspension, recalibrated power steering, improved rust-proofing, better brakes and larger fifteen-inch alloy wheels shod with lower profile tyres. For many the pick of the range, the six-cylinder 300SL combined 130mph performance with decent economy.
Built during the penultimate year of production to order number 0853732486 for the UK market, chassis 090598 was finished in the stunning combination of Astral Silver Metallic with Medium Red / Burgundy leather upholstery. Additionally specified with a Black soft-top, outside temperature indicator, electric windows and rear seats, the Mercedes-Benz was supplied new to W. Russell Esq by Bargate Motors of Boston, Lincs. The latter continued to maintain the 300SL up until 25,526 miles on 15th October 1996. Acquired by the renowned London advertising agency Abbott Mead Vickers the following June, the 2+2-seater was entrusted to main agents Malaya Bromley and Alan Day for servicing during their tenure. Passing to its current registered keeper in 2002, she continued the trend with Mercedes-Benz Bromley adding the last of eleven main dealer stamps at 60,224 miles (plus the PDI). Looked after by local garages thereafter, the 300SL is warranted to have covered a modest 75,000 miles from new. Totalling almost £29,000, ‘F343 RVL’ has recently benefited from a through brake overhaul (new front callipers / pads / sensors, rear pads / handbrake pads), localised paintwork improvement (boot area, hardtop, lower front wing etc), front suspension fettling (strip down, new dampers), headlamp restoration, nickel plated wheel nuts, new centre caps, engine bay / underside detailing, refurbished alloys and fresh tyres etc. Notably well-preserved, the interior retains its period Blaupunkt Toronto stereo. Three keys are present and the history file extends to two folders. Deemed to ‘look stunning and drive great’, this desirable 300 SL is worthy of close inspection.
1 of just 9 RHD ‘Interim’ cars

Chassis No: 7191GT
For any Ferrari enthusiast, the most desirable 330 GTs are ones with matching numbers, presented in their original specification, and either in good unrestored condition or else restored to a concours standard. For British enthusiasts specifically, nothing is more covetable than an original right-hand drive example— of which just nine ‘Interim’ cars were reputedly manufactured—with history from new. It is with the greatest pleasure that we present chassis 7191GT, which fulfils each one of those criteria.
A very desirable Series I “Interim” model with the five-speed gearbox, uprated brakes and electric windows, 7191GT was sold new through Maranello Concessionaires to Captain F. G. Barker of Lushill, Hannington, Wiltshire, with registration number ‘DYX 5C’. Fred Barker (1937-2025) attained his rank while serving with the 11th Hussars, but was still very young when he took over his parents’ stud farm, and he bought the Lushill Estate in 1962. Lushill House had been built in 1797, but was extensively modified in the Victorian period and when bought it was deemed “a derelict Georgian-Victorian monster, overgrown by gardens which hadn’t been touched since before the war.” Barker demolished the house, but to his great credit the new house he commissioned was a harmonious Georgian Revival effort at a time when architectural traditionalism was far from encouraged. He farmed Lushill for many years, while continuing to sire race-winning thoroughbreds and becoming, in the words of Country Life , a “foxhunting legend.” Though equines were always his first love, he was a car enthusiast and notably contested the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon with fellow Hussar David Dollar in a Mercedes-Benz 280S, winning the amateur class and finishing eighteenth overall out of 100 entries.
As purchased, 7191GT was finished in the delectable Celeste colour, with Black leather upholstery and carpets and Light Grey roof lining. With purchase tax, one year’s road tax, and Ace Silver Peak number plates, the total cost was £6,542 10s. 6d., but Barker part-exchanged his old 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, chassis 3959GT, against it for a £3,100 reduction.
It is not known for how long Barker kept the car, but it is understood to have been owned at one stage by a Robert Blake of Coventry, though a 1973 tax disc was
issued in York. By the early 1980s, it was in Florida, about to receive a restoration which was “of its time.” Predictably repainted in Rosso Corsa, the mania for red even extended to the restorers spraying the Borrani wheels! Pieces of history point to the Ferrari being advertised for sale in Autotrader by the Haberson & Swanson RV Center of Clearwater, and being owned by Ron Henrion and Alan D. Markley, both also of Clearwater.
In 1986, a new owner purchased the Ferrari from Mr. Markley and repatriated it. The 330 GT was enjoyed for a time, notably participating in the 1989 Norwich Union Classic, and remained in occasional use until 2005, when it was taken off the road. It was eventually sold at auction in 2012 after twenty-six years of single ownership. Its seven years off the road had not been kind; green moss was competing with the Rosso Corsa, there was extensive corrosion, a cylinder head had cracked and the brakes had seized, among other problems. However, documentation attested that
it had covered only 57,190 miles from new, and it retained its matching-numbers body, engine, gearbox, rear axle and so on. Fortunately, 7191GT fell into the right hands.
Between 2013 and 2019 it was restored for around £218,000, being painstakingly returned to its original specification, and with only fifty miles covered since, it is fully deserving of some use by an enthusiastic new owner.
The restoration was managed from start to finish by well-respected Ferrari specialists Peter Higgins Sports Cars, and once the Ferrari had been stripped back to the bare metal, it was carefully reassembled with new parts wherever necessary, which had to be fabricated if they could not be purchased. The bodywork was entrusted to XK Engineering and cost no less than £38,500, with all the corroded areas being repaired. This necessarily involved the fabrication of a new boot floor, rear floorpans, lower front and rear wing sections, lower door sections, front apron sections and more. The corroded chassis tubes were repaired and the restored chassis, plus the floorpans, engine bay and boot, were finished with a coat of 60/40 matt Ferrari Black.
GB Classic Trim took responsibility for the upholstery, which made use of Black Nappa leather and Wilton carpets, reaching a cost of £14,000. Anything which couldn’t be restored had to be remade, so Peter Higgins went to great lengths to produce new door panel cards, a parcel shelf, sun visors and so on. The beautiful Celeste paint was applied again, the Borrani wheels were refurbished by a specialist, and the chrome was replated.
Peter Higgins performed a comprehensive overhaul of the engine, line-boring the block, refacing the heads, balancing the crank, and refacing the valves. New cylinder liners and pistons were installed, along with new valve guides and springs, and new main and big-end bearings. Both distributors and all three carburettors were renovated in their turn. The gearbox and back axle were stripped, and pieced together again with new seals, gaskets and locknuts. The gearbox also received new synchro rings and some bearings. The clutch and its master and slave cylinders were renewed. The same careful attention was administered to the brakes and suspension, with new brake discs, suspension bushes, shock absorbers and so on. The fuel system was overhauled, a new exhaust was made, and the electrics were completely rewired.
Still effectively fresh from restoration, we can think of no 330 GT that we would rather own. It is one of the loveliest, and it is our sincere belief that it deserves a spot at an international concours. Documentation includes a copy of the original sales invoice and many invoices from Peter Higgins Sports Cars.
1 of just c.104 Silverstones produced
Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000*
Just as Donald Healey had intended, chassis D16—the sixteenth Silverstone built— spent its early life being driven in anger round Britain’s race circuits. Its first owner was J. W. Goodwin, who raced it on several occasions throughout 1951 and 1952 at Scottish venues, including the Bo’ness, Kinnear and Rest and Be Thankful hill-climbs, and with the Winfield Joint Committee at airfield circuits including Winfield and Charterhall. Goodwin and D16 made many further appearances at Charterhall up to 1958, but their most prominent race entries were in the Silverstone Six Hours Relay Handicap in 1953 and 1954, where they finished fifth and fourth respectively. They also competed in an Aberdeen & District Motor Club meeting at Crimond in 1955.
The new owner from 1959 was Bryan H. Steckler of Ealing (later Norfolk), who would keep D16 until 2000. With him, D16 remained a familiar sight at club race meetings through the 1960s and ’70s, and there is documented evidence of it running at the Austin-Healey Club’s Practice Day at Silverstone in April, 1963, and its Blackbushe Sprint in June, 1964. To remain competitive against newer cars, Steckler fitted a Wade supercharger and front disc brakes. Later, it was regularly shown at classic car events through the 1980s and ’90s, including the London International Classic Car Show at Alexandra Palace.
The third owner kept the Silverstone until 2023, when it was bought by our vendor, still with all its 1960s modifications. An extensive engine overhaul had been performed in 2021 by marque specialist Warren Kennedy of Classic Restorations Ltd., which cost £6,844. The block was resleeved to a standard bore, Carillo hand-forged con-rods were used with Ford flat-topped pistons and heavy-duty big-end shells, plus strengthened pushrods and a high-pressure oil pump. The head was crack-tested, the valve ports were gas-flowed and 250mm hardened valves were installed, the valve seats were hardened for unleaded petrol, and bronze valve guides were fitted. Other features of the specification include a lightened flywheel, a four-branch stainless steel exhaust, a Kenlowe electric fan, and electronic ignition.
Our vendor intended to return D16 to the condition in which it was originally raced. The work was entrusted to Classic Restorations in October, 2024, and it was subsequently restored for around £65,000, reaching completion during 2025. The chassis and body frame were sandblasted and powder-coated, and any areas affected by corrosion or other faults were remedied without hesitation. The old paint was stripped away
and the panels were entirely resprayed in their original colour of Healey Light Blue. The suspension components were sandblasted and refitted, replaced or repaired as necessary. The brakes were overhauled with new shoes, and the master cylinder and wheel cylinders were replaced with either new or reconditioned items. The engine was once again overhauled and balanced, the carburettors were stripped and bead-blasted, and a refurbished original gearbox was fitted. The rear axle and cooling system were both overhauled, the electrics were rewired, the chrome was replated, and the wheels were renovated with new tyres fitted. The dash was returned to the original specification and the interior was completely reupholstered. In its new guise, the Healey could be raced again or potentially entered in prestigious events such as the Mille Miglia, but it wouldn’t be out of place at a concours while the restoration is still fresh. It is supplied with much history including the V5C, a buff logbook and previous V5s, MOTs dating back to 1982, event plaques and photographs, many invoices, racing photographs, and sales literature.

The Morgan 4/4 was in production for an amazing eighty-three years (1936-2019),earning both manufacturer and model a place in the Guinness Book of Records. Unveiled in 1993, the Morgan 4/4 1800 was faster, cleaner and more frugal than many of its predecessors. Based around a box-section ladder-frame chassis equipped with independent ‘sliding pillar’ front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, and disc and drum hydraulic brakes, the aluminium-over-ash construction contributed towards a commendably low kerb weight (c.1,914lbs.). Embracing the marque tradition of using proprietary running gear, the newcomer was powered by a Ford 1,796cc four-cylinder Zetec engine (complete with fuel-injection and double overhead camshafts) allied to a five-speed manual transmission. Impractical yet beguiling, the 4/4 1800 sported a basic interior and minimal luggage space, offset by a singularly involving driving experience and vivid acceleration. Displaying a genuine c.28,500 miles from new and finished in an eye-catching red bodywork over a black semi-leather interior, this 2003 example has been enjoyed by just 2 former keepers from new. Ready to offer some exciting summer driving, it comes with a history file, current MOT to August 2026 and Swansea V5C.

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,
(c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value;
(d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses;
5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.
6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the 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.
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 cooperate 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.
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. The Buyer and the Seller consent to such data being kept and used for appropriate purposes, including informing the Buyer and the Seller of any offers or other matters of interest from time to time.
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.
27. These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English Law. Each of the Auctioneer, the Seller, the Buyer and any bidder hereby submits to non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
