WELCOME TO THE AUCTION

Welcome to a bumper summer sale here at the beautiful Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, Derbyshire. Our Sales Manager James McWilliam and his team have worked hard to assemble a catalogue of over 180 Vintage, Classic and Collector cars to suit most tastes and budgets.

We are honoured to have been entrusted with the Peter Macey and Fox Collections which account for thirty-four cars between them ranging from a circa 1920 Ranger A-20 Tourer (the history of which reads like an improbable film script) through to a 1994 Toyota Supra MKIV RZ-S Twin-Turbo via a super rare 1929 Essex Challenger Super Six Boat-Tail Speedabout and 1962 Studebaker Champ Pick-Up.

As 2026 continues to break temperature records so the idea of a convertible looks more and more appealing. Those who favour ‘wind in the hair motoring’ have a choice which encompasses everything from a 1911 Austin 10hp Melbourne Two-Seater through to a 2010 Can-Am Spyder RT Ltd. However, in terms of sheer glamour and pose the 1989 Rolls-Royce Corniche II Drophead Coupe and 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS take some beating with both having been the subject of significant recent expenditure.

Interestingly, the earliest Corniche Dropheads cost the equivalent of three times the national house price average in 1971 (or c.£825,000 using today’s metrics) arguing that Rolls-Royce’s products have become more affordable – or less exclusive – over time. Those looking to spend less than house money have over fifty ‘No Reserve’ entries to peruse which include cars from the 1920s through to the 2000s from the likes of Citroen, Saab, Porsche, Land Rover and Rolls-Royce.

As ever there is no shortage of cars with a story to tell be that the 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II and 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit which have been in single family ownerships from new (covering just 15,000 and 13,000 miles respectively) or the 1990 Audi UR Quattro 2.2 Turbo RR 20V that was once put through its paces by Jeremy Clarkson.

The sheer breadth of the lots on offer is certainly encouraging. The old car world continues to attract new members and while tastes change the enthusiasm is unwavering.

We very much hope to see you at the Pavilion Gardens for what promises to be another memorable sale

Kind regards, Colette

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.

Removal of Lots

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.

1947 Alvis TA14

No Reserve*

Reg No: 274 UXO MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 20838

Supplied new by Jewry Garages (Winchester) Ltd to the prominent ophthalmologist Dr Reginald Balfour-Barrow, chassis 20838 was originally finished in Black with Fawn upholstery. Passing to Winchester University lecturer Thomas Graty Esq in 1960, the Alvis remained in his care for twenty-one years. Laid up in a barn by third keeper Basil Taylor, the TA14 was then sold to the Alvis Owners’ Club’s Technical Editor Nicholas Simpson who treated it to a sympathetic restoration preserving the original interior. Changing hands again in 2006, the Saloon entered the current family ownership via marque specialist Red Triangle a decade later. Spending some £20,000 with the latter concern over the past eight years, the vendor has treated the four-seater to various timber frame repairs (2018), localised bodywork improvements (2025), a carburettor overhaul / brake adjustment / transmission fettling (January 2026) plus a recent service (February 2026). Covering a mere 1,500 miles during the past two decades, the Alvis is coming to market to help fund a Victorian house renovation and is accompanied by invoices dating back to 1960, correspondence from Graty and Simpson, numerous Red Triangle invoices, MOT certificate valid until February 2027, historic maintenance notebook and an original instruction manual.

1964 MG B Roadster

Early pull handle model No Reserve*

Reg No: XJT 708B MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GHN3L31261

Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan ‘Safety Fast’. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, its 1798cc ‘B’ series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

This desirable, LHD early ‘pull handle’ MG B Roadster was originally registered abroad. Resident in France, in 2017 it was taken to Italy to undergo a comprehensive restoration overseen by the vendor’s late father who had been a mechanic and engineer trained by Rolls-Royce. He maintained it to a high standard and we are advised the gearbox was professionally overhauled by a specialist company in the UK. Driven regularly by him, it was enjoyed up the time of his passing in 2024 following which it came to the UK and was subsequently registered. Finished in dark BRG with black leather upholstery, XJT 708B is offered with a set of stainless steel wire wheels, BMIHT certificate and current V5C.

2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 500

No Reserve*

Reg No: KW52 XDH MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: WDB2304752F028536

Introduced at the September, 2001, Frankfurt Motor Show, the R230-series of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running SL range remained in production for ten years. The SL 500 was powered by a five-litre V8 engine allied to a five-speed automatic transmission. With some 302bhp and 339lb. ft. of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8secs. and 155mph.

Registering c.84,500 miles from new with 5 former keepers, this SL 500 is finished attractively in Telurium Silver Metallic with a Blue leather interior with wood burred Walnut veneer trim inserts. Fitted with Bi-Xenon headlamps and AMG 18” alloy wheels from new ‘KW52 XDH’ was last serviced by a MercedesBenz specialist in June this year with an A-Service. Offered with its book pack including handbooks and a service book with 12 entries, two seats of keys, assorted invoices and old MOT certificates plus a current advisory-free MOT to June 2027, V5c document and nearly new Pirelli P-Zero tyres all round. The vendor informs us its a very smart example with hardly any wear and tear. Said to drive well, and that everything works including the climate control which blows very cold the only fault noted is the soft close on the boot is broken.

2001 MGF 1.8i VVC

No Reserve*

Reg No: ML51 RKA MOT: May 2027 Chassis No: SARRDWBTC2D533539

A low owners and miles example of one of the last British-made MG sports cars, this MGF was produced in British Racing Green with the desirable option of an interior trimmed partly with Mirage cloth and partly with Black leather. It was originally sold in November, 2001, by Lookers Rover of Stockport, and was retained by its first keeper until 2007. The second keeper’s tenure was brief and it was still 2007 when it entered the third and present registered ownership. The new owner covered around 22,000 miles up to 2016, when the MG was placed into storage with only 44,000 miles covered in total.

Opportunities to acquire such well-preserved examples are extremely rare, and with the F coming to be seen as an increasingly desirable ‘youngtimer’ car, we would advise placing some bids while the opportunity exists. This is a low-mileage specimen, complete with its current V5C and its original book pack. Although it has been off the road since 2017, the vendor has recently spent c.£1,000 on a refresh of the Hydrolastic suspension, windscreen washer pump, front brake pads, and new battery this year, and has an MOT until May 2027.

1992 Ford Granada 2.9 24v Cosworth Scorpio

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*

Reg No: J594 MHR MOT: May 2027

1969 Daimler V8 250

5

Chassis No: SFAAXXGAGANA71790

Fast Fords weren’t limited to just the Sierra and Escort; the Granada got in on the action too. Cosworth engineers took the 2.9-litre Cologne engine and made it even more impressive, taking it to around 195bhp. The Ford Scorpio was the executive car produced by Ford Germany from 1985 to 1998. It replaced the European Ford Granada line and like its predecessor, was aimed at the executive market. The basic floorpan was unchanged. However, the front and rear wings, bumpers, boot lid, bonnet and rear quarter-lights were redesigned. Suspension was uprated with the addition of front radius arms attached to the front hub carrier while the rear suspension was redesigned with new trailing arms, and an anti-roll bar mounted on the subframe.

Subject to a full service and new belts in May of this year, this First Generation Scorpio was supplied new to Jersey. Consequently it has covered just c.58,100 miles from new. First UK registered in 2023, it benefits from an uprated stereo and rear parking sensors. Offered with handbook and stamped service book, two keys and alarm fobs, Cobra alarm system, Haynes manual and a collection of invoices.

No Reserve*

Reg No: MCE 894G MOT: Exempt Chassis No: PK5194BW

In addition to providing Jaguar with production capacity, its acquisition of Daimler in 1960 also brought the Edward Turner-designed 2.5-litre V8. Installed in the Jaguar Mk2 bodyshell, it produced a more refined saloon aimed at Daimler’s traditional clientele. Launched in 1962 as the Daimler 2.5 V8, it combined elegant styling, smooth performance, leather upholstery and excellent handling, while its lighter V8 engine gave it a reputation for better weight distribution than its Jaguar sibling.

Finished in Opalescent Silver Blue with grey leather interior, this barn-find example is offered at no reserve. The vendor advises that the car was inherited and remained in previous ownership for approximately 20 years before being placed into storage. Reportedly unused for more than a decade, it displays a reputed 59,145 miles and will require complete recommissioning before returning to the road. Prospective purchasers should assume the mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems will require inspection and overhaul, while the tyres will require replacement before road use. Despite its prolonged storage, the bodywork appears solid and the interior remarkably well preserved. Accompanying the car are an original sales brochure, service handbook, V5C registration document and an additional set of wire wheels supplied without tyres.

2006 Bentley Continental GT

Desirable Mulliner Driving Specification

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: VX56 HTO MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: SCBCE63W07C041032

Unveiled for the 2005 model-year, the Mulliner Driving Specification boasted 20in. seven-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and diamond quilted upholstery, door cards, etc. A very fine example of the breed, this Continental GT appears to have been very well cared for throughout its life. Attractively finished in Silver Tempest Metallic with an Ivory leather interior, it even boasts the Mulliner Driving Specification package with its higher level of trim, additional styling cues and more sumptuous interior. It has covered only 74,000 miles from new, as testified by the sixteen stamped entries in the service book, and has occasionally undergone some more involved maintenance, as when the engine was removed in order to renew a vacuum valve. Moreover, it has recently benefitted from the full refurbishment of its 20in., seven-spoke, two-piece alloy wheels, which were a special feature of the Mulliner package. They have been shod with new Pirelli tyres. The Bentley has a strong MOT record and the current MOT, issued with no advisories, remains valid until July, 2026. Supplied with service history and some invoices, it appears in lovely order throughout and we cannot help but agree with the vendor when he describes the bodywork, paint, engine, transmission and electrics as “excellent,” and the interior as “very good.”

1983 Mazda RX-7 FB

Former Mazda heritage fleet

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: PYK 70Y MOT: May 2027 Chassis No: JMZFB131200665954

Mazda’s foray into rotary engines all started in 1960 with their President Matsuda visiting the German NSU works at Neckarsulm to see the rotary engine Dr Felix Wankel was developing with NSU and subsequently signing an agreement to make Wankel engines under licence in 1961. Mazda went on to introduce their RX7 with twin-rotor Wankel engine in 1978 and the five-speed, rear-wheel drive configuration made it a popular choice. Lightweight (weighing under 1000kg), with its distinctive wraparound all-glass tailgate, four-link rear suspension, simple carburated rotary power and famed 50:50 weight distribution it was lauded by Car & Driver magazine, making it onto their ‘Ten Best’ list in 1983.

A car featured on Top Gear, Autocar and EVO magazine, this ex-Mazda heritage fleet RX-7 is now registered under its original number PYK 70Y. Finished in Old English White over a burgundy velour interior it currently registers some 71,000 miles and comes with a removable sunroof and stowage bag, owner’s manual and feature magazines. Offered with advisory free MOT to May 2027, sundry invoices and current V5C document.

Reg No: G378 PDV MOT: March 2027

Chassis No: SAXXL2S1N20430205

The original Mini was a revolution on wheels - with the engine placed across the frame and the gearbox in its sump, 80 percent of the floorplan area was available for passengers and luggage. Equally novel was the rubber cone suspension, which resulted in a somewhat choppy ride but also endowed the car with its famous go kart-like handling. During 41 years of production, the Mini was offered in numerous limited editions, of which the Mini 30 was one. Based on the popular Mini Mayfair, 3,000 Mini 30s were created in celebration of the model’s three decades of production. Powered by a 998cc version of the ubiquitous A-Series engine, they were offered in either Cherry Red (2,000) or Black (1,000).

Finished in black, this Mini is one of the rarer 30 Year editions and has been with the vendor for six years. Garaged, and used sparingly, invoices totalling nearly £3,000 show both preventative and regular maintenance being of high importance. The odometer of this rare classic Mini currently displays an unwarranted c.39,500 miles and the current MOT expires in March 2027. Although previously subject to a ‘Category D Insurance Loss’ in 1998, it was subsequently repaired. Offered with spare keys and current V5C.

Reserve*

Reg No: BP04 MWW MOT: September 2026 Chassis No: SAJAC72MX4VG27046

First registered on the 15th July 2004, chassis SAJAC72MX4VG27046 was supplied through the Jaguar Company Fleet Management centre in Lawford Heath, Warwickshire, and is believed to have been used by Jaguar company executives during the first three years of its life. Specified in ‘SE’ trim in the attractive colour scheme of Zircon blue complemented by a Dove grey leather interior. The original service book on file shows that the car has been meticulously maintained by Jaguar main dealers and specialists, and the most recent oil change service was performed at 106,780 miles during April of this year.

Invoices are on file to show that in the previous and current ownership, the Jaguar has been the beneficiary of a complete new set of rear wishbones, a new battery, plus the fitment of a replacement gearbox and torque converter. It will be sold complete with a stack of invoices for previous works, aforementioned service book, driver’s handbook, several MOT test certificates and a spare key.

1952 Humber Super Snipe Mk. III

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

Reg No: JWS 547 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 8007064

The Humber Super Snipe may not have had the same exclusivity in period as a Bentley R-type or Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, but they’re similarly comfortable, likely rarer, and arguably more interesting. This example certainly demonstrates just what a good-looking machine they are. It formerly belonged to the Allan Marshall Collection in Hull, a well-known collection of sixteen post-vintage Humber cars which Mr. Marshall had started collecting in the 1970s. The collection, which included three Humbers formerly owned by members of the Royal Family, was auctioned in 2020.

Having been bought for the collection in 1991, this Super Snipe has since been returned to running and driving condition but, says the vendor, it “requires work on the carburettor and to address low compression on a couple of cylinders.” The brakes have been fully renewed, and cosmetically the car is very presentable. It has survived with much history intact, too, including the original buff logbook, the original Humber guarantee, and many old MOTs. No doubt the Humber is itching to be driven properly again after thirty years in a museum, and we can say from experience that there are few things more comfortable than a big old ’50s saloon.

1994 BMW 840 Ci

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: M545 PJH MOT: None Chassis No: WBAEF62000CB97383

A beautiful sight in its sparkling Calypso Red Metallic, this BMW 840 Ci is presented as a well-preserved and very worthwhile project for recommissioning. Registered new in Reading on November 23rd, 1994, it has had just five registered keepers from new, including two long-term owners this century. The fourth keeper owned it from 2000 to 2012, and the present registered keeper has had it ever since. It appears to have been in continuous use throughout its life until 2014, when it was taken off the road. In 2013, it passed its MOT at 80,366 miles with no advisories, but since then it has been in storage and will require the usual checks and recommissioning work before it can be used again. Having seen such little use of late, the paintwork and interior are believed mostly original.

The BMW 8 Series is very much a rising star in the burgeoning “Youngtimer” movement, and examples are now being accepted into concours events and are especially welcome at RADwood, the premier 1980s and ’90s motoring lifestyle weekend. This example is supplied with the original book pack, although the service book is absent.

1951 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupé

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection

No Reserve*

1963 Studebaker Avanti

13

Reg No: 179 RMX MOT: Exempt Chassis No: G1076339

This wonderful Champion is one of the most significant cars in the Macey Collection, as it was the car which started Mr. Macey’s love affair with Studebakers, and was owned by him for a total of sixty-eight years. He imported it from America and registered it through Kent County Council in April, 1958, and thereafter it resided at the Kentish farmhouse where he lived all his life (except when he was taking extended stays in Florida). He used the Champion as his regular transport for many years, and had it fitted with a tow hitch so he could take a caravan on long family holidays into Europe.

Thanks to Mr. Macey’s careful preservation efforts, the Stude survives in extremely original condition, with a beautiful and well-earned patina. It remained in occasional use up to 2005, after which Mr. Macey placed it into dry storage in one of his barns, and so it will therefore require a degree of recommissioning. Once it is on the road, it is bound to win admiration for its superb state of preservation and originality. It is supplied with history including a green logbook, an old V5 and the current V5C, and several MOT certificates dating back to 1975.

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection

No Reserve*

Reg No: DS 8531 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: R-4226

This marvellously original, unrestored Avanti is one of two such cars in the Macey Collection. With a final assembly date of April 30th, 1963, RQ3064 left the factory in Avanti Red with a Black vinyl interior, bound for Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and its equipment included a floor-shift automatic transmission, power steering, whitewall tyres and a radio. We know nothing of its ownership history except that it was in use in Montgomery County, Virginia, in 1973, and in 1992 it was registered to James V. Pace of Richlands, Virginia, but in 1993 it appears he sold it to Nick Carter’s Used Cars in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Perhaps they struggled to find a buyer, but there is no record of a change of ownership until Mr. Macey bought, imported and registered it in 1996.

Thereafter, the Avanti was enjoyed in regular use until 2012, after which it was placed into dry storage in one of Mr. Macey’s barns. It will now require recommissioning but promises to be a show-stopper when it goes back on the road, whether one restores it or prefers to keep it ‘oily rag’. It is supplied with the V5C, the old V5, copies of the build records, several MOTs, and the Virginia title.

1929 Essex Super Six Roadster

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection No Reserve*

15

1929 Essex Challenger Super Six Two-Door Coach

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection No Reserve*

16

Reg No: RU 9723 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 989363

Believed to be wearing its original paint, this British-market Roadster has history back to 1949, when it was Red and belonged to Messrs. W. J. Harris Ltd. of Boscombe, Dorset. This is interesting in itself as W. J. Harris was a motor vehicle dealership, about which little is known except that in 1958 it sold a rare Maico Mobil MB200 scooter! The Essex may have belonged to one of the directors, but it was not licensed for the road after 1957. Ownership later passed to one P. J. Candy of Verwood, near Bournemouth, before Mr. Macey took possession of it in 1986. A 1983 letter from the Department of Transport indicates that Mr. Candy had intended to restore the Essex to original condition, but evidently that never happened.

As can clearly be seen, Mr. Macey never got round to the restoration, either, so it should make for a very exciting project after almost seventy years off the road. The bodywork seems fundamentally sound, so it could be fully restored or carefully recommissioned as an ‘oily rag.’ It is supplied with the buff logbook, the Department of Transport letter, a V5 in Macey’s name, and a 1929 Super-Six Instruction Book in good condition.

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 970915

Finished to a very high standard in the past, this lovely two-door Coach has history dating back to 1987, when it was owned by Farrell V. and Judith K. Christiansen of Lewiston, Idaho. They were long-term keepers, still running the Essex as of 2012, but in 2013 it in 2013 it was advertised through one Bill Miller of Lewiston on eBay, where it was purchased by Peter Macey. The listing at the time described it as a restored car with a retrimmed interior, replated chrome, solid original wood and no rust on the body. It was on the road and had a mileage reading of 68,920, albeit with only 6,800 since the engine was overhauled with a 1930 crankshaft and con-rods.

While it will require recommissioning, and registering with the DVLA, this is perhaps the most straightforward project of all the cars in the Macey Collection, and it should be realistic to expect to have it on the road for the 2027 rally season. It is supplied with import and HMRC documents, copies of Idaho registration paperwork, a copy of the 2013 eBay listing, and a 1928 Super-Six Instruction Book.

Reg No: C745 JCA MOT: Exempt Chassis No: SAXXL2S1N20288808

A fantastic showpiece which would be ideal for weddings, parties and all manner of events, this fun ‘maxi’ Mini was professionally constructed in the early 2000s by a North Wales specialist firm, with the intention that it should be used for hospitality and promotional purposes. The obvious modifications are to the chassis and bodywork—it features additional structural bracing and a strengthened floorpan—but it has uprated performance, too, courtesy of a 1,275cc A-series engine with bolt-on upgrades such as an aftermarket carburettor, an improved fuel pump, a custom-made alloy radiator, and a free-flowing exhaust system.

The Mini is a true Limousine, with interior partition and vis-à-vis rear seating for four passengers. The driver can enjoy the specially made veneer-effect dashboard, and external features include Minilite-style wheels and a carbon fibrelook roof. Shortly after its completion it was in long-term ownership from 2008 to 2020. It then had two further owners before joining the Fox Collection as a static display piece in 2023. It will therefore require some recommissioning, but the outlay will surely be worthwhile for all the professional purposes it could fulfil, and it was running and driving well during our photography session.

Estimate: £14,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: N489 SOC MOT: T.B.A. Chassis No: JF1GC8KD3SG011698

One of the best-provenanced Imprezas there is, this car originally belonged to the Subaru UK press fleet before being supplied in May, 1996, to the McRae family. It was driven by Colin, Jimmy and Alister McRae as a “family hack” until it was returned to the supplying dealer, A. F. Noble Ltd., in 1999.

Joining the Fox Collection as a mostly static exhibit in 2024, it will now require some light recommissioning. but was running and driving very well for our photoshoot. In 2021, though, it received new exhaust pipes, a new back box and a clutch kit, and then in 2022 it was subject to a mechanical restoration including an engine overhaul to standard with new gaskets, cambelt and pumps, with an invoice for the work totalling £5,118. The vendor points out the chassis, engine and gearbox are ‘matching-numbers’, and the sun visors have been signed by Jimmy, Alister and Max McRae. The excellent documents file includes the original book pack with service book, a copy of the V5C naming Subaru UK and McRae Motorsport as owners, an email from Alister McRae, assorted tax discs, and MOTs back to 1999.

1971 Hillman Hunter Super 1725

Entered from the Fox Collection

Reg No: JMA 912K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: LH074702978

In standard trim, the Hillman Hunter was a very sensible, pipe-and-slippers sort of car, but anything is fair game for a customiser, and this Hunter has been quite effectively transformed into a red-blooded street machine. Equipped with the 1,725cc engine, the custom build took place around 2016, after the car had been in single ownership since 1988. It involved a repaint in a fantastic ’70s-style Yellow, albeit with blacked-out brightwork lending a somewhat contemporary feel. Some polished Starmag-style alloy wheels complete the old-school cruiser aesthetic. Other modifications include some 1980s or ’90s bucket seats and a small-diameter sports steering wheel.

Showing nine keepers from new, the Hunter was purchased for the Fox Collection in 2024, since when it has been on static display, so some recommissioning will be required. We would add that the Hunter Super is a rare car, and none of the modifications on this example are permanent, so it could be returned to standard if desired. Either way, it could be real head-turner at events such as the Retro Rides Gathering or the Festival of the Unexceptional, depending on taste. It is supplied with invoices and MOTs back to the 1990s, an owner’s manual and the V5C.

1991 Rover Mini Banham Roadster

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

Reg No: H905 NEF MOT: T.B.A. Chassis No: SAXXL2S1N20485581

Banham Conversions was founded by Paul Banham in the 1960s and became famous for convertible versions of cars including the Ferrari 400, the Aston Martin DBS, and the Mini, prior to its closure in the mid-2000s. This Mini Roadster is said to have been a prototype which was personally worked on by Paul Banham and never placed on public sale. Like the bodywork, the interior is a custom creation. Mechanically the Mini is substantially standard with a 998cc A-series and fourspeed gearbox, but it does have a stainless exhaust.

Much work was carried out in 2020, with new parts including the radiator, cooling fan, head gasket, carburettor overhaul kit, distributor, coil and Spax front shock absorbers, all sourced from Mini Spares. Other parts fitted at the same time included a fuel filter, points and a condenser, new brake shoes, cylinders and callipers, new steering gaiters, new subframe and engine mounts, and a new battery. When the Mini was sold into the Fox Collection in 2024, it was described as having brand-new Superlite wheels and a recent respray in Ford Purple Velvet. After two years of static display, it requires recommissioning but promises unspeakable fun. It is supplied with the V5C and assorted invoices and MOTs.

21 1966 Ford Mustang 289 V8 Convertible

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: OGC 193D MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 6T08C206033

Resplendent in the factory colour of Candy Apple Red, this beautiful Mustang appears in a desirable specification, with the famous ‘Pony’ interior upholstered in Red vinyl, the poweroperated hood in a complementary White, and the factory option of wire wheel covers with whitewall tyres providing a pretty finishing touch. Under the bonnet sits a 289ci (4.7-litre) V8, correct as per this Mustang’s original C-code specification, but souped-up with a four-barrel Holley carburettor, an Edelbrock inlet manifold, tubular headers, and dual exhausts. It is our understanding that the engine and chassis are matching numbers. Stopping power has been enhanced by a front disc brake conversion, and the C4 automatic gearbox makes for an ideal top-down boulevard cruiser.

Assembled at the Metuchen, New Jersey, plant, the Mustang was first registered with the DVLA in 1991, having previously resided in Florida. It has had six British keepers, including a long-term owner from 2003 to 2015, and then our vendor from 2015 to the present. It benefited from a complete engine overhaul in 2002 and received some improvements to the tune of £2,800 in 2017, the latter including top-end work; invoices detail the purchase of new parts including a camshaft, an exhaust valve, and a set of valve springs. For the last ten years, the car has been cosseted in the vendor’s private collection, with only around 3,000 miles covered in the last twenty years.

The Mustang started readily and ran well during our photoshoot, and with a period-style Custom Autosound Slidebar radio one of the few concessions to modernity, all that’s needed is to put on the Beach Boys or some early Motown and hit the road. The large history file includes the V5C, an historic Florida title, old tax discs, MOTs, ownership records, and invoices back to the 1990s.

1 of 1,801 Twin Cam Roadsters produced Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: XOP 350 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: YD1/1659

Originally a home market example and one of just 1,801 Roadsters produced, XOP 350 rolled off the Abingdon line in March 1959 being road registered `XOP 350’ by Birmingham County Council. It was factory-fitted with a close-ratio gearbox, 4.55/1 diff, competition seats, oil cooler and alloy side screens which still remain today and supplied to a Mr K R James for use in speed events. The car was featured in a 1959 Autocar article with a photograph of it competing at Prescott.

Purchased as a project from our Duxford auction in 2015, it was treated to a comprehensive chassis-up, body-off restoration completed in 2019. A photographic record is included.

Many parts were supplied by Peter Woods, Bob West, Moss, MGOC and Anglo with work including: a full engine overhaul with modifications to eliminate known issues, a cylinder leak down test carried out by Martin Bolland with a reading of just 8%, new bearings, synchro’s and layshaft for the overhauled gearbox, fully overhauled suspension, braking system and wiring, retrimmed dash, overhauled instruments and an electric fan that can be operated manually and automatically once the car is stopped to avoid fuel vapour lock. Over 600 hours were spent on body restoration, the vendor informing us over 3000 hours went into the whole project.

Professionally finished in its original shade of Orient Red by Specialised Automotive Services in Sabden with re trimmed black interior and new black mohair hood, the original front grille and 4.55/1 diff are included. The vendor never exceeded 3000rpm for the first 500 miles to run the engine in.

Worthy of close inspection, covering just 5,900 miles being regularly exercised on classic car runs and tours since completion. Now ready for a new owner to enjoy, it comes with BMIHT certificate, copy workshop manual, technical notes from the vendor, technical articles, a collection of invoices and V5C.

1954 Austin A30 Saloon

No Reserve*

Reg No: DSV 569 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: AS4105545

The Austin A30 is one of the sweetest, most affordable and most useable ’50s cars one can own, and this charming example has been well cared for following a very comprehensive restoration circa 1995. A30s have a knack of winning hearts, and this one certainly did, as it was enjoyed in single ownership from 1988 to 2011, and then in the single-family ownership of some Austin A30/A35 Owners’ Club members from 2011 to 2023, when it was bought by the current registered keeper. The 1990s restoration included a full strip-down and repaint of the body, an engine overhaul, suspension and axle refurbishment, and a retrimmed interior.

Ever since, it has evidently been properly maintained, as it started readily and ran well during our photoshoot. Ideal not just for car rallies, but also for local errands and longer family outings, this A30 is offered with a documents file including the V5C, an original sales brochure, a running and maintenance manual, a lubrication chart, and photographs from the restoration. We might additionally mention that A30s make an ideal ‘first classic’, especially for young owners, and we’re sure this one will provide lots of enjoyment.

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: A606 SGC MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WF0FXXGAGFDY52740

Introduced in 1977, the second-generation Ford Granada established itself as one of Britain’s benchmark executive saloons, combining handsome styling, refined V6 performance and impressive long-distance comfort. Favoured by many, the Granada became a familiar sight on British roads, while the range-topping 2.8i Ghia X represented Ford’s executive flagship. Powered by the renowned 2.8-litre fuel-injected Cologne V6 engine and paired with smooth automatic transmission, the Ghia X offered effortless performance and refinement. Its generous specification included electric windows, central locking, alloy wheels, power steering, velour upholstery and numerous luxury appointments, making it one of the most complete executive saloons of its era. Presented in an elegant metallic finish, this Granada presents extremely well throughout. The bodywork, brightwork and factory alloy wheels all appear to be in very good order, while the light-coloured interior has a wonderfully preserved feel. The trim, upholstery and switchgear create an authentic period cabin that reflects the comfort expected of Ford’s flagship model. First registered on 8th August 1983 and showing just three former keepers, this impressive Ghia X Automatic is a scarce and highly usable modern classic, offering a rare opportunity to acquire one of Ford’s finest flagship saloons.

Reg No: SM05 DOA MOT: November 2026 Chassis No: SCBBE53W36C030904

Perhaps the most elegant town carriage of the 21st century there is, this fine Flying Spur was supplied new by Bentley Edinburgh and has had just four owners from new, the third owner keeping it from 2011 to 2022. It hasn’t seen much heavy use, either, with the mileage standing it just a little over 57,000. Finished in Blue with a Parchment and Navy interior, it boasts an extremely desirable specification, with equipment including the electric sliding and pop-up solar sunroof, burr walnut decorative inserts, a remote-controlled garage door opener, television reception, car ’phone preparation, and 19in. alloy wheels. The seats are as luxurious as they should be in a Bentley, with power-adjustable lumbar support, electric adjustment with a memory system, and built-in heaters.

Remarkably, the Bentley has lived in the same region all its life, hence each of its twelve stamped services was performed by Bentley Edinburgh. They were conducted usually at annual or biennial intervals up to 2021, when the most recent service was performed at 39,252 miles. The vendor describes the electrics as “good” and everything else as “very good,” and the car is offered with an MOT valid until November, 2026. It will be driven to the sale from Scotland.

Reg No: WF54 OSA MOT: May 2027 Chassis No: SALLMAMA34A179530

The launch of the third-generation Range Rover (L322) coincided with an asset scramble for the leftovers of the Rover Group. Development of the L322, however, had already been largely shipped out to Munich, but the L322’s slick and clean modern design came from Solihull. Geoff Upex had become Rover’s design chief and concept director in 1995 and it was his vision for the L322 that beat a proposition from BMW’s chief designer, Chris Bangle. Monocoque construction transformed the L322’s on-road manners. The Vogue trim was the flagship specification L322, elevating the vehicle’s luxury quotient with a plethora of premium features and introduced several exclusive enhancements over base and HSE trims.

With only c.73,000 miles recorded from new this example is rated as “excellent” throughout by the vendor. An inspection of the images reveals the paintwork and wheels look in good order and the headlight lenses are not faded. Fitted with front and rear park distance sensors alongside front and rear heated seats with electric seats in front. Last serviced at 72,000 miles, it is supplied with service history, advisory free MOT to May 2027 and Swansea V5C.

1966 Sunbeam Rapier

Chassis No: B325000551HHO

Part of the Rootes Group’s ‘Audax’ trio alongside the Hillman Minx and Singer Gazelle, the first generation Sunbeam Rapier debuted at the 1955 London Motor Show. Progressively evolved, the final Series V version arrived a decade later and shared its larger 1725cc OHV four-cylinder engine with the marque’s Alpine sportscar. The rarest ‘Audax’ Rapier, just 3,759 were built.

Finished in Moonstone Blue with an Ivory roof and Light Blue vinyl upholstery, chassis B325000551HH0 was supplied new to Maria Healey of Sheffield. Reportedly treated to an overhaul of its original, Weber carburettor-fed engine during the mid-1990s, the Sunbeam is understood to have covered a mere c.56,000 miles (the thirty-one old MOT certificates accompany it date back to March 1970 at 10,507 miles). Deemed by the seller to be ‘structurally sound’, ‘on the button’ and ‘eminently usable in modern traffic’, the Rapier has recently benefited from a new battery and replacement alternator. Used for a variety of local journeys and due to be driven to the sale, the vendor nevertheless recommends that potential purchasers carry out ‘the usual checks’ and satisfy themselves as to the saloon’s roadworthiness. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

The R230 was introduced in 2001 and continued the evolution of SL with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a ‘Vario Roof’ retractable hardtop, ‘Keyless Go’ keyless entry and smart key, and ‘Sensotronic Brake Control’ (SBC) electro-hydraulic power brake system. In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and a new front end that evoked the classic 300 SL with a large grille, a prominent three-pointed star and twin ‘power domes’ on the bonnet. It also features new headlights, which give the car the modern look it enjoys with an optional ‘Intelligent Light System’ and a new speed sensitive steering system.

Finished in the Iridium silver over Anthracite leather, this SL has the 7-speed automatic gearbox, wind deflectors and 19-inch AMG alloys. It has covered c.61,000 miles from new with 12 services recorded. In excellent condition overall owing to lower than average mileage, it is offered with 2 sets of keys, advisory free MOT to March 2027, service history and V5C.

The Toyota MR2 was manufactured between ‘84 and ‘07 as a mid-engined, twoseater, rear-wheel-drive sports car. The third incarnation ‘W30’, was marketed as the MR-S in Japan, Spyder in the US, and Roadster in Europe. First registered on 4th February 2004, this example has enjoyed a cherished life and now registers just a shade under 27,000 miles from new. Powered by a 130bhp, 1.8-litre VVTi inline 4-cylinder engine coupled to a manual gearbox it is fitted with period, JDM upgrades, including a true TRD (Toyota Racing Development) front and rear strut brace kit, Blitz NuR-Spec R exhaust system and a carbon fibre engine cover. Finished in Red with a contrasting with Black and Red interior (including TRD parts) with upgraded exterior grilles from Zun Sport and a black folding soft top roof, it recently went through the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and given a full bill of health with a new no advisory MOT until May 2027.

A very handsome example in its Nautical Blue Metallic paint, this 300 SE was supplied new through the Sunningdale Carriage Co. of Ascot to E. G. Acar of Esra Lodge, Gerrard’s Cross, on June 3rd, 1988. Its specification includes such features as the remote parking pilot, sun visors with make-up mirrors, and all-round sundimming tinted windows. It has clearly been looked after by its keepers, including its long-term second owner from 1992 to 2011. When auctioned in 2011, it had covered only 10,000 miles from new, and the current figure is a modest 46,600 from new.

It has a very impressive maintenance record, with its original service book containing ten stamps, while invoices attest to three additional services. The most recent was performed in 2025 by Mercedes-Benz Wolverhampton, and four new Avon tyres were fitted in 2024. The MOT record is similarly admirable, providing a virtually continuous record except for the period the car spent in storage between 2001 and 2011. It started and drove very well for our photoshoot, and the original interior really is a highlight. The history file includes the original production card, the book pack, the current V5C and previous V5s, assorted invoices, and tax discs back to 1992.

Limited Edition with just 1,000 reputedly made

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000*

Reg No: FHA 513Y MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SALLHAMV3AA126400

Finished in Nevada Gold with Bronze “Teddy Bear” trim, this rare special edition survives largely to factory specification, save for the addition of Alpinair air-conditioning in 1984 which required relocation of the instruments. Originally registered ‘FNO 793Y’ in Chelmsford in September 1982, its VIN confirms it left the factory in right-hand-drive powered by a 3.5-litre Rover V8, with automatic gearbox and finished in Nevada Gold with Bronze brushed-nylon (“Teddy Bear”) trim. The “Teddy Bear” material is no longer available but Bridge Classic cars carried out a full retrim skilfully replicating the original material and this is one outstanding feature. It reputedly spent 1990 to 2019 in single ownership in South Africa. During its time abroad, the speedometer was converted to km/h which did impact the mileage record. Returning to the UK in 2018, it was re-registered using its original number, FHA 513Y. During 2021 it was subject to bodywork restoration by James William Classics Ltd., which included replacing the rear body crossmember, sill body mounts, right-hand sill assembly and upper tailgate. New A- and B-pillar bases were installed, the footwells repaired, with undersealing and repainting where necessary. Some light engine work was completed, involving a service and a new exhaust system. Following the work, which totalled £4,145, it was MOTd in 2022 and passed with no advisories. With its enviable specification and extreme scarcity – the only other known survivor in Nevada Gold is reputed to be in the Dunsfold Land Rover Collection – this In Vogue deserves a spot in any collection. It has its rare matching Range Rover cool box, Brexton picnic hamper and Range Rover Radio Cassette that are all normally missing. Totally recommissioned, sympathetically restored and serviced by Bridge Classic Cars prior to sale, it is ready for a new owner. Offered with Swansea V5C, original build card, driver’s handbook, letter from Alpinair and assorted invoices.

1959 Austin Healey 3000 MkI

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000*

Reg No: XAS 378 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: HBT7L/6123

Launched to great acclaim, the Austin Healey 3000 MkI built on the success of the earlier 100 models, combining handsome styling with strong performance and impressive touring ability. Introduced in 1959, its 2,912cc straight-six produced 124bhp, while front disc brakes and the optional Laycock de Normanville overdrive further enhanced its long-distance credentials. Available as either the two-seat BN7 or occasional four-seat BT7, a total of 2,825 BN7s and10,825 BT7s were produced before the MkI gave way to the MkII in 1961.

A highly desirable early ‘Big Healey’, this 3000 MKI BT7 was supplied new to St. Louis, Missouri as a left-hand drive 2+2 example, specified from the factory with wire wheels, overdrive, heater, laminated windscreen and performance tyres. Re-imported to the UK in 2004, it subsequently underwent a comprehensive body-off restoration by marque specialists JME Healeys, during which it was professionally converted to right-hand drive.

Having covered fewer than 400 miles since its restoration, the Healey presents in excellent condition throughout. Its outstanding cosmetic and mechanical condition has been further preserved by fourteen years of storage in a dehumidified garage. Described as an ‘on-the-button’ example, it is reported to start, run and drive exactly as a well-sorted Big Healey should, offering the effortless touring capability and engaging performance for which these cars are renowned.

Further enhancing its appeal, the car is accompanied by a matching hardtop and side screens, extending its usability in all weathers. Offered with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate and current V5C document, this beautifully restored and highly specified BT7 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the finest and most usable examples of an iconic British sporting motor car.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: ABW 661G MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 10901822001948

Few performance saloons of the period carry the same presence as the 300 SEL 6.3. Brainchild of Mercedes-Benz engineer Erich Waxenberger, and introduced in March, 1968, it combined the 6.3-litre M100 V8 and automatic transmission from the mighty Mercedes-Benz 600 with the more discreet W109 saloon body. Of the 6,526 made just 702 were to RHD specification.

The 300 SEL appeals today for many of the same reasons as it appealed to celebrities, businessmen and other high-flyers when it was new—it combines good looks, exquisite comfort and brilliant engineering, but in a package which is altogether more understated than, say, a Rolls-Royce or Bentley. It is not difficult to imagine a Los Angeles music producer keeping a Mercedes like this at home in Beverley Hills for those occasions when they just wanted to fly under the radar, and their British counterparts would no doubt have a Mock Tudor mansion in Elstree, Sunningdale or the Surrey Hills where a 300 SEL might be kept for commuting into St. John’s Wood.

We’re not sure who owned this Mercedes originally, but it was no doubt someone interesting. It was built in May, 1969, and, strangely, although it’s an original factory right-hand drive car, its destination when new was the United States. It really is a rarity, and it benefits from an excellent specification, including the four-speed automatic transmission, brilliant Red leather upholstery, air conditioning, power windows and power sunroof, and a Becker Mexico cassette radio.

The technical sophistication of Mercedes of this period was rivalled by very few other cars in the same price range, and this particular Mercedes has received the necessary maintenance to keep the various systems in good overall condition. Work undertaken by or for the previous owner included a thorough overhaul of the air suspension system and the braking system, with fitment of new discs, pads and callipers. The hoses, fluids and filters were renewed, the mechanical fuel injection pump was serviced, the distributor cap, rotor arm and spark plugs were changed, and the car received new tyres. It is equipped with the desirable Bundt “Mexican hat” alloy wheels and in recent years has been equipped with a Magnaflow exhaust system with a cross-over.

While its Stateside history isn’t entirely known, it is understood to have spent much time in Florida, hence the registered keeper writes: “This is a super solid car, with none of the usual corrosion associated with the model. The leather interior is in excellent shape, as is the woodwork, while the bodywork is super straight and sound.” Having

only just arrived in Britain earlier this year, this 300 SEL 6.9 remains very much as it was when it cruised beneath the Florida sun. It displays a lovely light patina, which testifies to the originality of the interior, and presents in an eminently showable condition. Obviously, such an original car is worthy of continued preservation going into the future, but we do think it deserves to be driven and seen, whether that is at classic car shows or even as a daily driver. Certainly, the streets of London and other towns would look much better with more classics like these wafting about.

The history file includes the current V5C, in addition to a copy of the original data card and factory build record, a dating certificate from the Mercedes-Benz UK Ltd. Homologation Department, original sales literature, and an original owner’s manual.

Reg No: PM 7646 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 24359

This charming Chiltern was originally sold through University Motors to Dr. A. H. Copeman of 17, Brunswick Square, Hove. In May, 1928, it passed to Rupert Cobb of Dumpton Park, Broadstairs, and it is understood he used it until 1935, before storing it at the Cobb Brewery in Margate, where it remained until Alan White of Westgate-on-Sea purchased it in 1960. In 1963, E. Bruce Watson of Broadstairs bought it for his son Roger, who cherished it until his death in 2014. Roger served for over 30 years as the Armstrong Siddeley Club’s 14hp specialist. He painted the car in the early 1970s and the wings were refreshed c.2010.

In single ownership since 2014, the vendor’s work has included installing flashing indicators and new carpets around 10 years ago, recovering of the seats in 2023 and a magneto overhaul in 2025. Due to a fault with the folding roof, it has been repaired with a hardtop and fixed in the raised position. Only around 1,000 miles have been covered since the engine was resleeved to its standard bore in 2016, with new pistons and valves installed. This Armstrong Siddeley is sold with the current V5C and history including maintenance notes, a buff logbook and the VSCC buff form.

Manufactured by Fiat from 1955 to 1969, the Fiat 600 was a rear-engined, watercooled small city-car, sold in either two-door fastback saloon or four-door Multipla guises. Measuring only 10 ft 7 inches long, the all-new design was the first unibody construction and rear-engined Fiat. The total number produced from 1955 to 1969 at the Mirafiori plant in Turin was thought to be around 2.7 million; although many other examples were built under licence in other countries such as Spain and Argentina by SEAT, Zastava and other brands.

Imported in 2017 and registered in 2018 by Maserati dealer Mcgrath Maserati this charming LHD 600 was subject to a full restoration by Brian Galpin of the company “Without Brakes”. The work included: a total strip down, installation of new floors and new inner and outer sills, renewal of all brakes and brake shoes, a full suspension overhaul with all new bushes, complete engine and gearbox overhaul, new seat covers and carpets, new exhaust, new tyres, a full respray, a full service and new tyres. Looking splendid with its turquoise bodywork and red and white seats BNH 263E is offered with a Swansea V5C.

1923 Durant Star Model C

1965 Ford Thunderbird

37

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: SV 4504

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: E24126

Introduced in 1922, the Durant Star Four (Model C) was powered by a 2.2-litre Continental four-cylinder sidevalve engine allied to a three-speed manual gearbox. Available in a wide range of body styles, it was intended to rival the Model T and marketed as ‘The Aristocrat of Low Priced Cars’.

Finished in maroon over black with black leather-effect upholstery, this Model C with ‘E’ prefix indicating manufacture in Elizabeth, New Jersey, has benefited from over £20,000 of expenditure since 2010. Imported to the UK from Tennessee in 1992 after spending time in Virginia and Kansas, it was possibly originally supplied by WG Reynolds Motor Co of Ford Scott, Kansas, then Durant and Star agents. Riding on wooden artillery wheels, this rare Star Four has traditional controls as opposed to the more complex Model T, and is said to be in exemplary condition. Offered with a significant history file including; classic car show first place awards, wiring diagrams, period repair manuals, brochures and magazines, parts catalogue, workshop DVD, invoices, copy of an American title and Swansea V5C, the car has twice featured on the cover of the Durant Partners car club magazine with one article detailing a previous owner’s trip to France.

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: KYY 505C MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 5Y832160928

Offered from fifteen years of single ownership, this Thunderbird has had only three registered keepers since it was brought into Britain in 2008, the latest acquiring it in 2011. The history shows it had previously resided in the vicinity of Willamette Falls, Oregon City. The long-term keeper was meticulous, performing extensive work and maintenance to bring it up to its present condition. Cosmetically, it received a full repaint and new whitewall tyres, but most of the work took place ‘under the hood.’

A comprehensive overhaul of the 390ci (6.4-litre) V8, rated when new at 300hp, was performed by Wheels in Motion, which included a rebore, new piston rings, and so on. Wheels in Motion also performed other duties including a gearbox overhaul, fitment of a new exhaust manifolds and new floor pans and, in 2022, a carburettor tune-up, bringing the owner’s total expenditure to around £15,000. Altogether, the Thunderbird boasts a very desirable specification, with power steering, power brakes and air-conditioning, and a few subtle upgrades in the form of an Edelbrock four-barrel carburettor and a period-style D.A.B. radio. The history file includes the V5C, import documents, assorted invoices, a workshop manual, an assembly manual, and a specification manual.

1982 Porsche 911 SC 3.0 Targa Sport

Exceptionally original ‘C16’ example, 64,000 miles

Estimate: £65,000 - £80,000*

Reg No: YDB

403Y MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZCS141547

There is an argument to say that the SC played a pivotal role in the 911 becoming Porsche’s most iconic, and longest-serving, model. Initially intended to be a swansong for the Stuttgart marque’s rear-engined 2+2-seater sportscar, the newcomer was launched in August 1977. However, when sales data showed that the ‘old stager’ was outselling its lauded, front-engined 928 sibling by some fifty percent (despite the latter being crowned European Car of the Year), management had a rethink. More reliable, usable and refined than previous 911 iterations, the SC (or Super Carrera) was built around a fully galvanised bodyshell and re-engineered drivetrain. Using the same type-930 2994cc flat-six engine as its fearsome 911 Turbo stablemate (but in normally aspirated form), it benefited from a die-cast aluminium crankcase instead of the troublesome magnesium-alloy version used by the previous generation 2.7-litre cars, and Nikasil-coated cylinder barrels. Developing 180bhp / 195lb ft of torque (later 188bhp / 195lbft and from 1981 204bhp / 197lb ft), the reworked unit proved notably tractable thanks to its reprofiled camshafts. Equipped with a revised version of the well-proven type 915 five-speed gearbox containing higher gear ratios, the new model was reputedly capable of 146mph and 0-60mph in 6.8 seconds. With such performance on tap, few but the purists quibbled at the introduction of servo assistance for its powerful disc brakes. The penultimate 911 generation to utilise torsion bars for its all-round independent suspension, the SC had the same bore as its Carrera 3.2 successor but employed a shorter stroke and lighter flywheel meaning that it revved more freely.

On the basis that (a) the UK typically accounted for eight to ten percent of production during the 911 SC’s lifetime and (b) 1,737 ‘RoW’ Targas were built during the 1982 model year, chassis CS141547 is thought to be one of a mere 170 or so such ‘C16’ cars delivered to these shores. Finished in the rare and desirable hue of Platinum Metallic (655) – a colour which debuted on the US-only 1980 Weissach Special Edition cars before being added to the 911 SC palette the following year – and trimmed in Beige / Brown Berber Tweed; a fabric option which similarly joined the range for 1981, the 2+2-seater was supplied new via the Porsche main dealer Ian Anthony (Sales) Ltd of Wilmslow to a local doctor. Ordered with the ‘Sport’ pack (front / rear spoilers, uprated shock absorbers, wider wheels, sports seats etc), the 911 SC was main dealer serviced at 379, 2,513, 7,194, 13,849, 25,081,

37,038 and likely 51,500 miles (the final stamp is indistinct). Now displaying a warranted 64,000 miles, the Targa was acquired by its last registered keeper in 1989. Taken off the road two years later, the Porsche has spent the past three and a half decades in dry storage. Recently recommissioned under the guidance of sports and supercar specialist Quintessential Cars, ‘YDB 403Y’ is due to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale (despite being eligible for exemption). Pleasingly retaining an original Blaupunkt radio / cassette player, the 2+2-seater rides on Fondmetal 2600 E3 alloy wheels (a period option more usually found on 930 Turbos). Now ready for its next long-term custodian, this rare, low mileage 911 SC Targa is worthy of close inspection. Exceptionally original, the timewarp interior in particular is a real delight, ‘YDB 403Y’ has the makings of a future concours contender. Offered for sale with V5 Registration Document, original book pack (including stamped service book), ‘Porsche Possessions’ brochures and sundry paperwork. A special car.

Chassis No: 004423

Introduced at the 1957 Turin Salon, the Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile was an obvious evolution of its 1100-103 predecessor. As head of the Turin giant’s inhouse special bodies division Fabio Liugi Rapi riffed off contemporary Ferrari and Lancia Spider designs to produce an ultra-stylish two-seater characterised by its distinctive split grille, wraparound windscreen and rear wing embellishers. Imported from America by the vendor after a multi-year search, chassis 004423 has been NOVA declared with all duties paid so UK road registration should be straightforward. The body panels, windscreen and brightwork are said to be ‘complete and in good order’. The vendor also considers the suspension and engine mounts to be ‘good and sound’. The soft-top is in situ as are the characteristic ‘swivel’ seats. Accompanying spares include new old stock exhaust parts but, sharing as it does so many ‘oily bits’ with the far more commonplace Granluce Saloon, getting the Trasformabile up and running again promises to be relatively inexpensive. Pleasingly retaining a period Motorola radio as well as its former US Title Document (the latter showing two previous keepers), this stunning and very rare Fiat is surely worthy of a return to the road especially as it is understood to retain its original factory fitted engine.

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: JWP 637D MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 6123

Upgraded in 1962, the Morgan Plus 4 gained a larger 2138cc OHV four-cylinder engine (shared with the Triumph TR4). Available in two- and four-seater tourer guises or as a drophead coupe, it boasted 110mph performance and engaging handling.

Purchased by the vendor’s husband in 1998 from a close neighbour who is rumoured to have been only its second owner, this rare Plus 4 Four-Seater was subsequently entrusted to Park Lodge Motors for an extensive, ‘chassis up’ restoration. Returning to the road in July 1999 at an indicated 73,996 miles, the Morgan was regularly MOT tested over the next eighteen years. Said to remain in ‘good overall’ condition, ‘JWP 637D’ is due to be driven to the sale. The vendor deems the brakes to be in working order but notes that (a) the associated master cylinder has a slight leak and (b) the rev counter is currently inoperative. Predating the refurbishment, the Black leather upholstery does not want for patina, while painted steel wheels give the Morgan a purposeful stance. Coming to market for the first time in twenty-eight years, this appealing and practical Plus 4 Four-Seater is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, Morgan literature, purchase receipt and sundry other paperwork.

2005 BMW Z4 2.0 SE Roadster

Reg No: YF55 FPX MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: WBABZ12040LY58455

A fantastic car to enjoy on a bright summer’s day, this 2005 Z4 promises lots of fun to its next owner. Finished in Sterling Grey Metallic with a brilliantly racy Red leather interior, and has been with the current registered keeper since 2022. Across its whole life, it has been well maintained, as evidenced by the twelve service and inspection stamps, including two from Stratstone BMW Tyneside. Having now covered just over 94,000 miles, its most recent service was performed by LW Motors in Whittle-le-Woods in October, 2022, at 90,914 miles.

The BMW appears to have resided in the extreme north of England all of its life, which is perhaps ideal when one thinks of all the spectacular ribbons of Tarmac that weave across Northumbria, the Lake District, the Forest of Bowland, and so on. Having been enjoyed by the vendor very much as a weekend and pleasure car, it is described as being “very good” in all areas. Still full of life and zest, it is supplied with the V5C plus service and MOT history, with the current MOT valid until June, 2027.

1973 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI Limousine

Reg No: SCW 48L MOT: Exempt Chassis No: PRH 4743

Introduced in 1959, Rolls-Royce’s new limousine model, the long-wheelbase Phantom V, effectively replaced both the Phantom IV and the Silver Wraith. This rather sad looking Phantom VI was delivered new to the Mecca Sportsman Company, later ‘London Clubs Ltd’ and is believed to have been used for chauffeuring the elite during these early years. Sold via agents Jack Barclay, it was specified in the striking combination of Deep Indigo with a blue / beige quilted cloth interior. Optional extras at the time included fog lamps, front seat belts, Sundym glass, extended chrome waist mouldings, stainless steel rims around the wheel arches, plus adjustable reading lamps to the rear compartment.

Said to have been running and driving at the time of an unfortunate incident where a barn roof fell on to the car - a new owner is now faced with various possibilities. Repair and restore the car to its former glory, or remove the damaged roof and create a large open Landaulette / Cabriolet, ideal for warmer climates. Spare parts are seemingly readily available and a quick search online resulted in replacement wings showing as available from two separate specialists. Offered with a UK V5c document, clear HPI report, copies of the period order, spec sheets and correspondence.

1990 Audi UR Quattro 2.2

Turbo RR 20V

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: G89 RNH MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: WAUZZZ85ZLA000616

Introduced at the March 1980 Geneva Motor Show, the Audi Quattro Turbo was destined to revolutionise the faces of both international rallying and high-speed motoring. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, its permanent all-wheel drive system was famously derived from that of the VW Iltis utility vehicle. Powered by a turbocharged five-cylinder engine, the model’s speed, poise and agility netted Audi two drivers’ (1982, 1984) and two constructors’ titles (1983, 1984) in the World Rally Championship. Progressively enhanced during an eleven-year production life, the Quattro Turbo merited its own dedicated production line in Hall N2 of Audi’s Ingolstadt plant (each hand-built car undergoing a gruelling multi-point inspection before being signed off). Phased in during July 1989, the last of the line ’20-valve’ cars boasted a new ‘RR’ code DOHC 2226cc powerplant that developed some 220bhp and 228lbft of torque. Further upgraded with forged alloy (rather than pressed steel) suspension wishbones, Bosch Motronic control, enlarged 269mm ventilated rear discs and a revamped interior, they were reputedly capable of 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds and 146mph. Only around 1,000 ’20-valve’ Quattros are thought to have been made with the final one rolling off the assembly line and straight into Audi’s museum on 17th May 1991.

Right-hand drive RR 20v Quattro production is understood to have totalled 295 cars. Deemed by many to be the most desirable of the ‘ur’ line, they have long been sought after by collectors. H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description:

“During 1988 I started as an apprentice at a Volkswagen Audi dealer in Darlington. It was there that I was first introduced to the Quattro. From that point on it was the car I most desired. Fast forward to 2006, and I could finally afford one so I started searching and travelled many miles inspecting and test driving potential candidates. Finally in 2007, I saw a 20v advertised in the Quattro Owners’ Club’s newsletter which had covered just under 100,000 miles but was described as being outstanding. I travelled to Leicestershire and found ‘G89 RNH’ to be by far the best I had seen with excellent history. Interestingly, the RR had been featured in an Audi press magazine article entitled ‘A Decade of the Audi Quattro’ which was written following a test conducted by none other than Jeremy Clarkson.

Following my purchase I gave the car a thorough check over which showed it to be in excellent order and original condition. Obviously, it had been looked after correctly. The only issue that concerned me was the Tornado Red paintwork which had gone a little milky (a very common issue) so I commissioned a full professional respray not long after acquisition. Since ‘G89 RNH’ has been in my ownership it has only been out in the rain once (at a Ur Quattro Owners Club meet) and has always been garaged under a custom fleece cover. It has always been serviced regularly, even though at times it has covered less than 100 miles between services. In 2025 it had a full service including all the fluids being changed and flushed out, the brakes stripped, cleaned and lubed and the cambelt, water pump, relay roller and vee belts replaced. In 2026 it has had 4 new correct-size Pirelli tyres fitted.

For its age, and in my opinion, it’s in excellent order, even the electric aerial works which many don’t. Being critical it has a very small dent on the bonnet and has slight corrosion appearing on the sunroof panel under the paint on the driver’s side. Apart from that nothing aside from very minor age related marks, but for over 36 years old, it remains outstanding.”

Offered for sale with its Audi wallet (service book, manuals), copy of the aforementioned press article, invoices, old MOTs and a current certificate valid until June 2027.

1963 Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide

Estimate: £38,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: KGJ 364A MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: LR/127/R

Chassis LR/127/R was originally registered ‘9339 UK’ and finished in Dubonnet with an interior trimmed in Connolly Fawn hide, with equipment including a Motorola radio. Delivered through the agent C. Williams on March 15th, 1963, to J. Hudson & Co. (Whistles) Ltd, it appears to have led an interesting early life. Founded in 1870, Joseph Hudson’s business became a major manufacturer of all types of whistles, including for the police, armed forces, and sporting events such as the Olympics. The Lagonda would have been for Joseph’s grandson Leon Clifford Hudson, who became Managing Director in 1949. Seemingly a keen touring motorist, it was ordered with non-standard equipment including a speaker on the driver’s side, a map pocket on the passenger’s side, and an aneroid barometer and altimeter on the glovebox lid. He also specified the deletion of the footrests. To make touring even more enjoyable, in 1964 he returned the Lagonda to Aston Martin so it could be fitted with a plug for a kettle!

It appears it was still the 1960s when the Rapide was passed to Mrs. Meynell of Hoar Cross, Burton-on-Trent. A replacement engine was fitted in 1966, as documented in the Aston Martin service records which extend to September, 1969, when the Rapide had covered 59,273 miles. In April, 1981, ownership passed to Clive Noble, and in 1987 it was bought by Didier Primat, a French billionaire residing in Geneva. The grandson of Marcel Schlumberger, co-founder of the Schlumberger oilfield services company, he became a director in 1988.

Primat immediately commissioned the Aston Martin Ltd. Service Department to restore it, which included a cylinder head and gearbox overhaul with the torque converter renewed, plus refurbishment of the brakes and suspension. The interior was refurbished with the woodwork reveneered and the headlining and upholstery renewed. Primat opted for Tan Connolly hide, with the carpets in Fawn with Tan leather edges. The body was stripped to the bare metal, restored and repainted in the attractive Old English Pewter it still wears. All the work was photographically documented.

LR/127/R remained with Primat until March, 1999, when it was consigned into the Christie’s Geneva sale and bought by marque specialist R. S. Williams on behalf of an enthusiastic Belgian collector. It remained in the collection until 2022, and upon being sold the owner said: “The car was only used to drive handicapped children for

Rotary and Lions to a Flemish castle and to the seaside twice a year. It was not used more because I loved it so much and thought it was my nicest car so there should be no accident.”

The Rapide was recommissioned in 2021 by Vantage Engineering and made England home again with the previous owner. In 2023, it was taken to marque specialist Edition 13 Ltd. to be brought up to an even higher standard, receiving £15,000 worth of work. This included the front suspension being stripped, sandblasted, powder-coated and reassembled with all-new bushings and bearings, a general service, new steering rack gaiters, welding repairs to both rear wheel arches, window motor refurbishment, the renewal of the brake master cylinder seals and rewiring of the radio. The current owner acquired the Lagonda from us last year as a stop-gap before acquiring one of Aston Martin’s grand touring sports saloons, and has regularly enjoyed it whilst performing small improvements such as a carburettor tune and the sealing of an oil leak. It is now only re-offered for sale due a lack of space, and comes with copies of the original build and service sheets, some MOTs, numerous invoices, the photographic Aston Martin restoration profile, and copies of period advertising, sales and magazine literature, plus a copy of the original maintenance instructions.

c.1920 Ranger A-20 Tourer

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: Un-Registered

MOT: Exempt Chassis No: T.B.A.

The Ranger A-20 Tourer is one of the most fascinating survivors of America’s early automotive industry. Built by the Southern Motors Manufacturing Association in Houston, Texas, in 1920 and 1921, it was touted as a promising new automobile featuring a 31hp, four-cylinder engine and quality engineering. However, the Ranger became entangled in one of the era’s most notorious stock fraud schemes. Company executives allegedly used a handful of completed vehicles, including the A-20 Tourer, to create the illusion of mass production by moving the same cars between the factory and showrooms to impress prospective investors. Despite millions of dollars being raised through stock sales, only a small number of Rangers (reputedly just twelve) were ever built before the company collapsed.

Very little is known about the possible sole survivor. Its history is appropriately mysterious for a car of such a shady inception. How did it even end up in Great Britain? We know that it was seemingly restored in the United States by Vida’s Vintage Vehicles, a longdefunct antique automobile museum. It was probably then that the car was painted Beige—the catalogued colours were Ranger Maroon or Blevins Blue. It was in Britain in 2022 when, as the oldest car in the Wright Collection, it was sold to become the oldest car in the Fox Collection, but it has never been registered with the DVLA.

The engine, remarkably, was apparently of Ranger’s own design. We note also the Westinghouse Air Springs, a popular fitment on upmarket American cars. Sadly, the engine block has a hole, and nobody knows when it was last run, which leaves us hungry for knowledge—maybe, despite the alleged deceit, the Ranger really was a fine American automobile? What we need is for a willing restorer to come along, get it running and let us know…

1950 Studebaker Champion Custom Business Coupe

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: 997 XUA MOT: Exempt Chassis No: G657156

One of the most striking cars of the ’50s, this Studebaker Champion is also very rare in the three-passenger Business Coupe style, being one of only 1,562 produced in 1950. Being finished at the Custom trim level (coded Q4), it would have cost $1,419 new. It has interesting recent provenance, too.

The survival of the original State of New Jersey title dated August 29th, 1950, reveals that the first owner was Joseph Palisciano of Keansburg. It was imported into Britain in 2007 by Andy Saunders, who probably needs no introduction to enthusiasts of American and custom cars. Saunders started customising cars as a teenager and quickly attracted a reputation as a bodywork wizard and also as a connoisseur of mid-century design. Some of his most significant projects have included the restoration of the one-off 1957 Aurora safety car, and the recreation of the Alex Tremulispenned Ford X-2000 ‘dream car’ of 1958. It seems the Stude was sold to another owner in 2007 who commissioned a restoration by F. G. Bethel & Son, but then put the car into storage until 2020, when it was offered for sale by County Classics and featured in Classic American magazine.

The car passed through two further owners before it joined the Fox Collection in 2023, since when it has remained on mostly static display and will require some recommissioning. Once it is back on the road, it promises to be a guaranteed head-turner at shows and rallies, especially those focussed on older models of American cars, such as the Rally of the Giants. It is sold with history including the original New Jersey title and other period American papers, technical documents, import papers, a post-restoration valuation by F. G. Bethel, an identity certificate from the Studebaker Owners’ Club UK, tax discs, MOTs, and a workshop manual.

1991 BMW Z1

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £32,000 - £38,000*

Reg No: H184 HKL MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: WBABA91010AL02610

One of the most distinctive and characterful cars of the 1990s— perhaps also one of the best looking—the BMW Z1 was never a car with which the British were really blessed. Just eighty-six of the 8,000 produced made it to our shores as official UK-supplied examples. This car, however, is one of them, and a very fine survivor it is.

It has had a total of nine registered keepers and was originally registered ‘H2 SVG’. Assuming that was not a private registration, it suggests that it spent its early life in the Norwich area, although the private number ‘2 MCD’ was carried between 1997 and 2000, when the present age-appropriate number was issued. We know some ownership and MOT specifics as far back as 2006, when the seventh keeper took possession of the car. He or she was to be a notably long-term owner, keeping the BMW until 2024. At the time keeper seven acquired it, it had covered barely more than 66,000 miles, and it took until 2009 for it to reach 67,000 miles. It saw some lightly heavier use between 2009 and 2010, with the mileage exceeding 69,500 in that year, but, despite being on the road for quite a few years thereafter, it still is yet to break the 70,000-mile barrier.

The BMW was off the road for a period between 2019 and 2024, but its most recent MOT certificate was awarded in April, 2025, at 69,801 miles, showing no advisories. In November of that year, it was acquired for the Fox Collection, where it has spent nine months as a mostly static exhibit, so some minimal checks or recommissioning should be considered before it is used on the road again, but the car ran and drove well during the recent photography session. The V5C is supplied.

2007 Shelby Mustang GT

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000*

Reg No: REB 61L MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: 1ZVHT82H675286197

Representing perhaps the pinnacle of the modern muscle car, this rare Shelby GT looks especially menacing in black with silver stripes. It boasts a glorious specification, as outlined on the original Shelby Automobiles certificate issued with the package, detailing the Ford Racing Handling Package (lower, stiffer suspension), the Ford Racing Power Upgrade Package, the Performance X-Pipe exhaust, the Hurst Short-Throw Shifter kit, and the 3:55 rear axle assembly. The Power Upgrade Package is, of course, the most exciting feature of all those, and comprises a 90mm cold air kit, performance silencers, and Pro-Cal performance calibration).

On top of that, there’s the 54U appearance package (including side scoops and 15in. Premium aluminium wheels) and the Shelby Appearance Package, consisting of a bonnet scoop, racinggrade bonnet pins, billet front grille insert, Shelby boot lid letters, ‘Powered by Ford’ wing badges, aluminium dash and engine plaques with CSM serial number, Shelby GT aluminium door sill plates, silver racing stripes, and custom Shelby floor mat badges.

Having been a one-owner car in Texas, the Shelby was imported into Britain in 2018, since when it has had just three keepers, joining the Fox Collection in 2021. It was in use for a while, being serviced in 2021, then again in May, 2022, at 94,549 miles, and in 2023 it went to Ayliff Classics for another service, new tyres, and wheel refurbishment.

It passed its last MOT in 2023 with no advisories, but since 2024 it has been treated as a static exhibit alongside the other cars in the Fox Collection, hence it will require light degree of recommissioning, though we observed it start readily and run well during our photography session. Still as magnificent now as it was twenty years ago, it is supplied with the V5C, MOTs and invoices, a Carfax report and the Shelby Automobiles factory certificate.

1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport Cabriolet

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000*

Reg No: F563 HCD MOT: November 2026 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZJS151046

Developed under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the September 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model’s 3164 cc (hence ‘3.2’) flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to fivespeed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios slightly raised. Among other improvements was a redesigned timing chain tensioner – the Achilles heel of the earlier engines. Initial examples of the 3.2 employed the 915 type manual gearbox with reverse gear located beneath fifth, while 1987 to 1989 models had the stronger G50 unit in which reverse was located beside the fifth ratio. An optional ‘Sport’ pack became available during 1984, comprising a deeper front valance, ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler, stiffer Bilstein dampers and 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels with black centres.

Built to a truly iconic 1980s specification, chassis JS151046 left Zuffenhausen complete with Guards Red paintwork, Black leather upholstery, preferred G50 five-speed manual gearbox and the ‘Sport Pack’ (front / rear spoilers, uprated Bilstein shock absorbers and Fuchs alloy wheels) not to mention a Hi-Fi stereo and front Sport seats. Supplied new by Official Porsche Centre Malaya Garage of Billingshurt, West Sussex to D. Crammond Esq., the Carrera 3.2 had five subsequent keepers before entering the current ownership in October 1997. The accompanying owner’s wallet is comprehensively stocked including the original ‘Guarantee and Maintenance’ booklet which records services at 1,075, 12,060, 25,498, 34,396, 45,094, 57,612, 69,040 and 85,918 miles. Now showing some 93,000 miles to its odometer, the Cabriolet was entrusted to the Engine Room of Haddington in late November 2025 for some £1,393 worth of fettling. Issued with a ‘no advisories’ MOT Certificate valid until November 25th 2026 as a result, the 911 had attention paid to its bonnet / boot lid struts, wiring, brakes and fluids as necessary. Part of an extensive private collection, ‘F563 HCD’ is coming to market for the first time in twenty-nine years. As well as the aforementioned book pack, this appealing ‘C16’ Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet comes with numerous invoices / receipts from the likes of AFN, Northway, Chariots of St Albans, Design 911 and HR Owen etc.

1986 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL

Notably well-presented example

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000*

Reg No: MBZ 717 MOT: April 2027

Chassis No: WDB1070462A050399

All R107 SLs would have been cherished cars when new, but because they were built in fairly large numbers, it’s true to say that, by the time a lot of them moved on to their third or fourth owners, they stopped receiving the same level of care as once they might have done. This 500 SL—the rarest and, some would say, the best model in the range—is not one of those cars. This is one which has been meticulously and sympathetically cherished by each and every one of its keepers across its forty-year life, and a cursory inspection of the car, or the photographs of it, should be all that takes to dispel any doubts.

Supplied new in the United Kingdom as an original right-hand drive car, it was originally registered in London Central as ‘C244 DYR’ but has carried the desirable private registration ‘MBZ 717’—which is included in the sale—since 2011. Recent keepers have tended to look after the Mercedes for a substantial period of time, with the past three keepers owning it from 2005 to 2011, 2011 to 2014, and 2014 to 2024.

Throughout its ownership, the SL has not once been neglected, as the extraordinary service record testifies. Including the PDI, it has a history of thirtyone services spanning 1986 to 2024, of which twenty-two were completed up to 2006 by Mercedes main dealers, and the other nine have been completed since 2005 by marque specialists. The most recent entries in the record are for a general service and a brake service, performed on November 9th, 2024, at 60,681 miles. In fact, work in 2024 amounted to a bit more than simple servicing. It actually received a full detailing session, some attention to the driver’s seat, a new battery, the renewal of the bonnet insulation, and an inspection of the bulkhead. Just the purchase and installation of the bonnet insulation amounted to £3,000.

Incidentally, the car’s level of use during the 2010s has been minimal, with the mileage only reaching 60,000 in 2014. The present keeper since 2024 has taken the opportunity to enjoy the car on the road, though, so that the odometer has just crossed over into 62,000 miles. The MOT record is every bit as good as the service record—surviving certificates date all the way back to its first test in 1989, and the car is supplied with a current certificate valid until April, 2027, though it has, of course, just become exempt from testing this year.

With all that to consider, it will not come as a surprise to learn that this Mercedes is as complete as when it left the factory forty years ago. It is supplied with its body-coloured hardtop (complete with stand), its original toolkit, and its original book pack. For good measure, it even comes with a fitted car cover. The history file is just as comprehensive, if not more so. Besides the book pack and the aforementioned MOTs, it is supplied with some period sales literature, historic photographs, the original data tag, a huge collection of invoices, previous tax discs and some Blaupunkt radio user’s guides. And, once again, the very appropriate ‘MBZ’ registration is offered with the car.

We have described this Mercedes as show-worthy but, in truth, we think we might be doing it a disservice. It would be a better reflection of its condition and outstanding state of preservation to call it concours-worthy. Whichever you prefer, this is undoubtedly an SL for the connoisseur.

1968 Ford Cortina 1600 GT

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: FMA 353F MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: BA96HA67781

Not just blessed with an appealingly purposeful stance and performance which places it very much in the ranks of super saloons, this outstanding original Cortina 1600 GT also happens to appear in a condition which looks like nearly-new. This is thanks to a very thorough restoration which was conducted circa 2016 and was undertaken with a brief of keeping the car true to the original factory specification. Ten years after the restoration, the Cortina continues to present extremely well, and we were pleased to observe how well it started and ran for our photoshoot. With this in mind, the vendor has elected to drive it to the sale from Chapel-en-le-Frith.

It has not remained in such fine fettle without maintenance, of course, and there is plenty of evidence of recent work which accounts for the Cortina’s excellent mechanical condition. In 2024, new shackle bushes, leaf spring bushes and anti-roll bar bushes were fitted, along with a new crankshaft oil seal and braided steel brake pipes, all purchased from Burton Power. All that was needed in 2025 was a general service, followed in early 2026 by new starting equipment and a carburettor overhaul.

Described as “pleasingly correct and unmodified,” the Cortina is also offered with a collection of paperwork, including an original owner’s handbook, an original workshop manual, period sales literature and lots of previous MOTs. The 1600 GT was a rare car even in its day, but now that any Mk. II Cortina is a rare sight in unmolested condition, this one surely represents an opportunity not to be missed, especially as a genuine two-door, larger engine variant 1600 GT.

52 1946 Jaguar MkIV 3.5 Litre Saloon

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: XXS 575 MOT: Exempt Chassis No:

610708

Flagship of what was retrospectively known as the MKIV range, the Jaguar 3½ Litre Saloon entered production in January 1946. Equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, Burman worm-and-nut steering and Girling mechanical drum brakes, the four-seater was powered by a 3485cc OHV (125bhp/184lbft) straight-six engine and promised 90mph plus performance. Utilising the same all-steel body construction as its late 1930s SS Jaguar forebear, the newcomer appeared even sleeker thanks to a revised hypoid bevel back axle that allowed the floor to be lowered by two inches. Nicknamed the `Wardour Street Bentley’, just 3,605 MKIV 3.5 Litre Saloons were built to right-hand drive specification. According to a letter on file from the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club, chassis 610708 was built to right-hand drive specification with body B3958 and engine S706. Remaining a ‘matching numbers’ car today, the Jaguar has self-evidently been the subject of much past restoration work. Finished in striking Black over Aubergine with Purple leather upholstery, the MKIV spent many years in The Netherlands. Issued with a Dutch Certificate of Roadworthiness in 2016 and advertised for €60,000 two years ago, the Saloon was still resident there when the vendor acquired it from the estate of ‘a marque fanatic’. Issued with the distinctive age-related number plate ‘XXS 575’ since being repatriated to these shores, the fourseater has also been entrusted to the Classic Car Clinic of Devon where it benefited from a new cylinder head, top-end engine overhaul, refurbished steering column and attention to the seat fixings. Sensibly uprated with an electric choke and additional cooling fan, the MKIV also boasts a working sunshine roof. Worthy of close inspection, this handsome Jaguar is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original instruction book, spare parts / service manuals, Dutch / UK bills and spare keys.

53 1975 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible

Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: KKL 523N MOT: March 2027

Chassis No: DRD20178

With its fantastic scarlet paintwork, this superb Corniche has all the qualities to make its next owner feel every bit the 1970s jetsetter—it’s not a stretch to picture Keith Moon at the wheel, or perhaps some associate of the Persuaders. We believe this rarein-Britain left-hand-drive example was originally supplied new to the United States, and it was only reimported to these shores in 2019. Aside from the steering, it retains a few hallmarks of its transatlantic heritage, such as the small “licence plate” holders, which do give it quite a different aura from the traditional homemarket Corniche. Certainly, we can imagine it cruising past the palm trees and nightclubs of Miami more easily than we can picture it on the gravel driveway of an English country mansion.

It is in nice condition throughout, with the paint presenting well and the interior still looking almost impossibly sumptuous, with such invitingly padded upholstery. Some aspects of the interior, like the seats and headlining, remain pleasingly original, but it has received a partial refresh, with a new set of Shiraz wool carpets having just been supplied by Aldridge Trimming Ltd. at a cost of £465. The Rolls-Royce has also recently received a carburettor overhaul. The mileage reading of 75,000, which could conceivably be original, suggests that the Corniche has not seen heavy use. That, combined with occasional maintenance, means it presents in good mechanical order, with an MOT certificate having been issued in March of this year, so that the Rolls has another eight months of enjoyment before the next test. It really is a lovely car, and bound to generate interest in Rolls-Royce circles, not least because of its slightly less traditional, more American presentation. It is supplied with paperwork including the V5C and some invoices.

1998 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: S574 SNC MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: SCALA61E1XCH01303

An undisputedly fine motorcar, the Graham Hull-designed Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce’s determination to reaffirm its position at the pinnacle of luxury motoring. Introduced in 1998 after a lengthy development programme, the model remained in production for just four years, with only 1,570 examples built, of which just 369 were standard-wheelbase, right-hand-drive cars. Featuring a bodyshell claimed to be 65% stiffer than its Silver Spirit predecessor and powered by a BMW-derived 5.4-litre, 322bhp V12 engine, it became the first Rolls-Royce powered by a V12 since the Phantom III of 1939. While sharing its basic structure with the Bentley Arnage, the Silver Seraph remained firmly focused on refinement and effortless luxury.

One of the earlier right-hand-drive examples, this Silver Seraph is finished in elegant Black Emerald Green with a magnolia leather interior featuring contrasting emerald piping and a desirable factory-fitted electric sunroof. The vendor advises that the original speedometer was replaced at just over 35,000 miles, reportedly to rectify an electrical fault. The current custodian has owned the car since 2016, and the history file contains numerous invoices documenting routine servicing and maintenance, together with more recent expenditure understood to include replacement front suspension bushes and a pair of new front tyres. The replacement odometer now displays 45,203 miles, giving a reputed total mileage of approximately 80,203 miles from new. As with any odometer replacement, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the mileage. Presented in its original colour combination with burr walnut veneers, Dark Green Wilton carpets and matching Dark Green lambswool over-rugs, this handsome Silver Seraph is offered with V5C, owner’s book pack, service history comprising invoices and records from JCT600 together with Rolls-Royce/Bentley main dealers and marque specialists, plus its original tool kit.

1975 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

Over £70,000 of recent expenditure

Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: KUL 850P MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1S2739BW

Offered with one of the most comprehensive history files of any E-Type that we have had the pleasure of offering, chassis 1S 2739 BW was manufactured on the 30th January 1974 and despatched to Henlys Limited of London on the 7th May. Interestingly, tastes were evidently changing, as it did not attract a buyer until 1st August 1975, when it was sold and delivered to its first owner, Mr Malcolm Bayliss of Bristol and registered as ‘KUL 850P’. The original service book shows that Mr Bayliss used the car extensively, and records that it had been seen to no fewer than 11 times (including the PDI) by December 1978, by which time it had covered 25,280 miles. Further servicing invoices from Sovereign Motors of Bristol suggests that by 1984 he was quite sentimental about the car, as he opted to have it fully mechanically overhauled by them over the course of the next decade, which included the removal of the engine frames from the bulkhead, painting and rewiring plus several other large scale tasks. Bayliss kept the Jaguar until his death in 2009, when his wife Carey became its second owner due to DVLA formalities. The late owner, Alan Auty acquired 1S 2739 BW from the Bayliss family later in 2009, and he would lavish the vehicle with attention for the rest of his life. Initially using Averys Garage of Bristol to perform servicing tasks, by 2014 Catcott Garage of Bridgwater was entrusted to begin repairs to the body, and eventually by 2016 they had performed a complete bare metal respray and colour change to the current British Racing Green Livery. Furthermore, Auty entrusted them with performing work to preserve the original leather work, including re-foaming the driver’s seat base. Catcott also fitted chrome wire wheels to Mr Auty’s taste, plus an SU carburettor conversion in place of the troublesome Strombergs, whilst Downfield Garage fitted an electronic ignition kit. Later, in 2016 and 17, Auto Classico Ltd and Swallows Jaguar Specialist had been commissioned for servicing and tuning work, plus the fitment of a new radiator and expansion tank. Between 2018-2019, Exeter Engineering performed a comprehensive engine overhaul which included a crank regrind and balancing, new pistons, new timing chains, the replacement or refurbishment of each external engine component including the water pump, starter motor and alternator, plus significantly more. Finally, in 2024 the transmission was subject to a complete overhaul by TES Transmissions Ltd and it was last serviced the same year by EM Classic Cars before Auty passed away. The total invoiced expenditure during Mr Auty’s custodianship has been worked out to over £70,000 and amounts to near enough a complete restoration bar the preservation of the sumptuous original interior.

Now, this gorgeous E-Type can truly be considered a stand-out example and after a check over by a new owner, should make a finely presented and eminently usable machine. It is sold complete with a black hard top, plus its history file documenting all of its expenditure since new, including a heritage certificate, original book pack and sales receipt, a complete set of MoT certificates up to 2021 warranting the current mileage of just under 46,500 miles from new, plus the current V5C.

1975 Jensen Healey

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: LFM 172P MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 20308

Sporting a marvellous, factory-correct colour scheme of metallic Gold paintwork with Black upholstery, this Jensen-Healey has been brought up to a superb standard by a programme of recent works. It has always been garaged in the present ownership, and has most recently been kept in a professional storage facility. In about 2021, the Jensen received a replacement Lotus 907 twin-cam engine which had been professionally overhauled prior to installation, and delivers power viâ the desirable Getrag dogleg five-speed manual gearbox. With further restoration and improvements undertaken since, the engine has only seen minimal use.

Bodywork restoration has involved the fitment of bespoke stainless steel floorpans, while the wings and door skins were painstakingly remanufactured from aluminium, thus lightening and partially rust-proofing the car. The work culminated with a full exterior respray in June, 2025. The interior remains in lovely condition, and the most enjoyable all-weather motoring is guaranteed by the provision of both a soft top and a Black vinyl hardtop. With the recent modifications, it is arguably more useable than it ever has been before, and it would not be for sale were the owner not forced to stop driving it on health grounds.

2001 Volkswagen Golf Avantgarde Cabriolet

No Reserve*

57

Reg No: KB51 EAJ MOT: None Chassis No: WVWZZZ1EZ2K004521

A lovely car for our long, hot summers, this two-litre Mk. III Golf Avantgarde convertible is now quite a rare beast. It is also impressively well preserved, having had just two former keepers up to 2010, since when it has been in very sympathetic single ownership. It is a point of some interest that the owner from 2004 to 2010 was Eurostar International Ltd. It has covered just under 101,000 miles, which is very modest for a workhorse like the Golf, and these engines can easily go on for twice that distance before they require any major attention.

This example was supplied new through Citygate Colindale of London, and as an Avantgarde model it features the leather interior. Its specification includes other desirable options, such as ABS, a leather-trimmed sports steering wheel, alloy wheels, power windows and eight speakers. It was in regular use until 2016, when it had its latest MOT at 100,980 miles. Despite passing with no advisories, it has covered under ten miles since. Although it will require recommissioning, it started readily and drove for our photos. It is supplied with the V5C, the original service book, and lots of past MOTs.

1932 Wolseley Hornet Saloon

Reg No: NUO 134 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 62S9400

Spending the majority of its early life in the south of England (Exeter/Surrey) this Riley RMB still wears its original number and benefits from expenditure in excess of £40,000 since 1990 with records in its history file. Consequently presented in excellent order and in a splendid colour combination, prospective bidders are invited to inspect the photographs of the paint closely and we advise the quality of the finish is best seen in person. The beneficiary of a major restoration by Bridger Garage Services in 1990 which resulted in a full build of the car including but not limited to bodywork, mechanics, woodwork, chrome work, electrics and Connolly trim. It is deemed likely that at this time the replacement (correct type) engine was fitted. It was subsequently painted in its current colour scheme by the then owner in 2017. It is hard to imagine you could restore, trim and paint an example to this standard for anywhere near the guide price. There is much correspondence with previous owners and the restoration/paint companies tasked with getting the car to such a standard. Offered with an extensive history file back to the mid 1980s with invoices, MOT paperwork, buff logbook and current V5C.

Reg No: XXS 384 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 2436 - 55

The Wolseley Hornet was unveiled at the end of April 1930 and offered as a saloon, coupe and open two-seater as well as a rolling chassis for bespoke coachwork. Produced by Wolseley from 1930 to 1936, it was initially powered by a 1271cc six-cylinder engine, described by Motor Sport as a ‘miniature six’ which, because of its overhead camshaft, developed a positive reputation on the road and in competition. Following acquisition of Wolseley by Morris, the Hornet was replaced by Morris’s badge-engineered Wolseley 12/48 in April 1936.

Finished in Black with Brown leathercloth upholstery, this particular example is understood to have been restored during the 1980s. Entering the current ownership in 2015, the Wolseley is said to have a ‘nicely mellowed look’ and will be driven to the sale. Although, the vendor advises potential purchasers to make the ‘usual checks’ before undertaking any lengthy journey. Capable of year round usage thanks to its enclosed coachwork, ‘XXS 384’ has the added advantage of a functioning sunshine roof. Uprated with a specialist supplied and fitted SU carburettor, the Hornet is accompanied by a history file containing invoices, sketches, Register material and some 22 old MOT certificates (the earliest dating from 1984) plus a current one valid until July 2027.

60 1954 Austin-Healey 100

Current registered keeper since 1983

Estimate: £32,000 - £36,000*

Reg No: RUR 427 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: BN1/153844

Debuting in prototype guise at the 1952 London Motor Show, Donald Healey’s jaw-dropping ‘Hundred’ was styled by Gerry Coker. Among the best-looking British sports cars ever made, the sleek two-seater entered production the following year but as a joint venture with Austin. Powered by a 2660cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, the earliest, ‘BN1’ version handled with aplomb and proved capable of 106mph. Current between 1953 and 1955, it achieved some 10,688 sales. The vast majority went to America with righthand drive markets accounting for a mere c.1,030 cars.

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis BN1/153844 was completed on 24th April 1954 with engine 1B/207054 and body 2497. Finished in Healey Blue metallic with Blue upholstery, the two-seater was supplied new via H.A. Saunders Ltd of Finchley. A letter on file from marque authority and author John Wheatley to the current registered keeper dated 20th December 1983 notes that: ‘I first came across your car when it was advertised for sale in 1978 in the pages of Classic Car magazine. A chap in Stafford was selling it after many years of ownership’. Entrusted to H. Tindale (Motors) Ltd of Oldham during 1993 for an extensive, photographically documented restoration, the 100 was refinished in its factory colours. Thought to have covered a mere 500 miles or so since its refurbishment was completed, ‘RUR 427’ spent many years in dry storage alongside two other ‘Big Healeys’. Recommissioned during the vendor’s tenure with attention paid to its fuel, brake and cooling systems plus a thorough service, the two-seater started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Deemed by the seller to be ‘a lovely drive’, this rare, ‘matching numbers’, home market BN1 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

1971 Jensen Interceptor III

Estimate: £22,500 - £27,500*

Reg No: JLO 78K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1284382

Introduced at the 1971 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jensen Interceptor III retained the striking Carrozzeria Touring-designed bodywork and steel platform chassis of its predecessors, while gaining numerous refinements including cast headlamp surrounds, GKN alloy wheels and a redesigned interior. Initially powered by Chrysler’s 6.3-litre V8, the model was later upgraded to a 7.2-litre unit. Equipped with TorqueFlite automatic transmission, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, the Interceptor III combined refinement with impressive performance, with 7.2-litre examples capable of 0-60mph in around 6.4 seconds and 140mph. Of the 2,477 Interceptor IIIs produced, only 735 were right-hand-drive 136-series cars.

First registered in 1971 to the Vice President of Eli Lilly, this Series III example left the Kelvin Way factory in West Bromwich finished in Copper Bronze with a Beige interior. Sold by Hamilton Motor Co. of South Wales in 1974, it was subsequently owned by a dentist for approximately 35 years. Acquired by the current vendor in May 2020, the Jensen had previously been refinished in Ford Velvet Purple, a striking period colour that suits the car exceptionally well. The interior has also been retrimmed in beige leather. During current ownership, significant expenditure has been invested to maintain the car’s condition and usability. Works include refurbishment of the fuel system and wheels, installation of a stainless-steel exhaust, upgraded alternator, rebuilt radiator, new headlights and replacement door rubbers. Powered by its original 6.3-litre (383 cu in) V8 engine, the Interceptor is said by the vendor to run very well, delivering the effortless performance and distinctive soundtrack for which these cars are renowned. A true 1970s grand touring icon, ‘JLO 78K’ is offered with the orginal tool kit, a period First Aid kit, V5C registration document and a file of supporting paperwork.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Coupe

Estimate: £34,000 - £38,000*

Reg No: TTU 906H MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11102412004332

Introduced in mid-1959, the Mercedes-Benz W111 series was a natural progression from the 220 Pontoon. The new models were bigger inside and out and sported a greater abundance of brightwork; not to mention finned rear wings which spawned the‘Fintail’ nickname. In addition to the four-door Saloon, the range comprised an elegant two-door Cabriolet and Coupe designed by Paul Bracq. The cars were well-appointed inside, being adorned with textured leather and wood trimmings. The fully independent suspension comprised of wishbones and coil springs at the front and low-pivot swing-axles with radius arms and coil springs at the rear, the ride from which was very statesman-like.

Originally the W111 Coupé was launched as the 220SE in late 1960, with a straight-six 2,195cc engine and 160km/h top speed. This was followed in 1965 by the 250SE and then in November 1967, the 250 SE was superseded by the 280SE. It was powered by the new 2,778cc M130 engine, which produced 160hp at 5500rpm. Top speed was hardly affected, but acceleration from 0-100km/ h (62mph) improved to 10.5 seconds. Inside, the car received a wood veneer option on the dashboard and other minor changes, including door lock buttons and different heater levers. Despite its smaller engine, the 280SE outperformed the early 1950s M189-powered 300 SE, resulting in the more expensive model’s retirement. In all, 3,797 280SE Coupes were manufactured.

1 of just 3,797 examples produced, this 280 SE has been in current ownership since 2017 having been imported by the vendor from the USA. Since its arrival on these shores attention has been paid to the brakes including a caliper overhaul, a new radiator fitted and servicing completed. Offered with import paperwork plus history including of its time in the USA and Swansea V5C.

Estimate: £36,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: GGX 658J MOT: June 2027 Chassis No: CRH8431

Hand-crafted by Mulliner Park Ward, the Silver Shadow TwoDoor Saloon was introduced in 1966. The work of in-house stylist W.G. Allen, the saloon-cum-coupe boasted wonderfully sleek lines. Blending speed with refinement in a way that few rivals could match, it was powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to automatic transmission. Trimmed with a superlative mix of sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets, the model was every bit as luxurious as it was expensive (an Aston Martin DB6 or Ferrari 365GT 2+2 was relatively cheap by comparison). Despite being in production for five years, just 571 MPW Two-Door Saloons are thought to have been made (369 RHD / 202 LHD).

Finished in the period combination of Coffee Bean Brown with Beige leather upholstery and optional lambswool overmats, chassis CRH 8431 was supplied new via HR Owen of London to a prominent Harley Street Dentist. Having spent a considerable time at its first owner’s Andorran holiday home, the Rolls-Royce returned to the UK in 2022. Sold by his son that same year, the MPW Two-Door changed hands once more before joining the vendor’s collection during January 2023. Entrusted to a marque specialist for a checkover and service ahead of the auction, ‘GGX 658J’ is deemed by the vendor to be in ‘very good overall’ condition and will be driven to the Pavilion Gardens. The odometer reading stands at some 28,400 miles, a commendably low figure commensurate with the lack of wear to the original, unrestored interior. Summed-up as ‘beautifully presented and unmolested’, this special Rolls-Royce is offered for sale with copy RREC build records, original owner’s wallet / handbook, period Jack Barclay leather keyfob, factory air-conditioning instructions card (from when the car was initially delivered), invoices, notes, historic paperwork and current ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until June 2027.

1972 Volvo 1800 ES

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: LMH 280K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 31316752756

Introduced in 1971 as the final evolution of Volvo’s much-admired P1800 range, the 1800 ES combined elegant styling with everyday practicality thanks to its distinctive all-glass tailgate and refined grand touring character. Powered by Volvo’s dependable 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, the model has long enjoyed a reputation for robust engineering, relaxed long-distance cruising and timeless Scandinavian design. Produced in comparatively limited numbers before production ceased in 1973, the 1800 ES has become one of the marque’s most sought-after classics.

Finished in an attractive metallic gold shade, this right-hand-drive example presents as a particularly smart and well-kept car. The paintwork has a pleasing depth of finish, complemented by bright chrome trim and correct-style wheel trims that suit the car well. Inside, the tan interior displays attractively, with the seats, dashboard, switchgear and trim creating a wonderfully atmosphere. The engine bay presents tidily, while the luggage compartment appears similarly well cared for. Overall, this Volvo conveys the impression of an enthusiast-owned example that has clearly been cherished and maintained with care, making it an appealing prospect for those seeking one of the most stylish and usable sporting estates of the early 1970s.

Reg No: AW51 DWC MOT: August 2026 Chassis No: 1FAHP60A82Y103882

Finished in evening Black with a Midnight Black leather interior this Thunderbird was supplied by Griffin Ford in New Canaan, Connecticut, USA, and still has the salesman’s business card with it and features the optional ‘black accent package’. It lived the first few years of its life in America before making its way to the UK around 2009 however was not UK registered until 2025. This is confirmed by a service stamp from a garage in Norfolk at 21,175 miles. Importantly, the car has a full HMRC NOVA record. Over the next 15 years, the car seems to have lived a quiet life with mileage creeping up to only c.43,300 miles. Averaging around 1500 miles a year, it seems to have been more of a weekend car. In 2024 it came into the possession of Bridge Classic Cars and underwent a full recommission with various repair and maintenance tasks completed including a full service, new front and rear suspension with new wishbones plus disc brakes, calipers and brake pads, new fuel pump, new rear ABS sensors plus new tyres all round.

Included is a decent amount of original documentation, original manuals and book packs, US registration documents, dealer paperwork, service book, HMRC NOVA paperwork, other assorted paperwork, Removable factory hard top and current V5C document.

2000 Land Rover Freelander XI

1 owner from new No Reserve*

Reg No: X628 EAJ MOT: None Chassis No: SALLNABA7YA551881

Although it’s an off-roader, and therefore entitled to a few battle scars, this Freelander is surprisingly clean appearing. This, of course, comes down to its having spent its whole life with the proverbial “one careful lady owner,” who has only driven it 56,250 miles, hence it has led an easier life than most. Always resident in the Middlesbrough area, it was supplied by the Dutton-Forshaw Land Rover Centre of Stockton-on-Tees on September 1st, 2000, and was in regular use and maintained until 2015, when it passed its last MOT (with no advisories). In that time, it had fourteen services, the most recent at 55,046 miles—not including a more major overhaul in 2014 at 55,918 miles, with the head skimmed, the timing belt serviced and the starting equipment changed.

It is impressively preserved with its original dealer plates, stickers and spare wheel cover. Although in need of recommissioning, it starts and drives and is supplied with the original book pack including service book, the V5C showing no former keepers, and a large collection of MOTs and invoices.

1987 Saab 900 Turbo 16

No Reserve*

Reg No: D650 NNA MOT: None Chassis No: YS3AD35L3H3007413

Introduced in 1984, the Saab 900 Turbo 16 benefited from a new sixteen-valve cylinder head that boosted power and torque to 175bhp and 201lbft respectively. Sharing the same basic underpinnings as its lesser siblings, it featured coil-sprung double-wishbone independent front suspension, a Watts-linkage located beam rear axle (complete with Panhard rod), four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Reputedly capable of over 130mph and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds, the T16 has gone on to attract something of a cult following since ceasing production in 1993.

Finished in Black with Beige cloth upholstery, this particular example was first registered in Stoke-on-Trent on November 1st 1985 (or so its ‘C220 UVT’ number plate would imply). A three-door, hatchback variant, it has been in the current (third) ownership since 1992. Barn stored for much of that time, the Saab is now in need of restoration. Appearing to be substantially complete, the 900 Turbo 16 has the makings of an interesting project. The recorded mileage stands at 160,700 which is not out of the way for one of these Swedish road rockets.

1989 Rolls-Royce Corniche II

Convertible

1 of just 59 RHD examples made

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000*

Reg No: T.B.A. MOT: January 2027 Chassis No: SCAZD00A3KCH29271

“In most people’s eyes, it’s the absolute ultimate in cars” (Autocar magazine)

The epitome of luxurious, open-topped motoring, the Rolls-Royce Corniche found favour with royal families and business tycoons around the world not to mention such A-list celebrities as Sir Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, David Bowie, Elton John, Dean Martin, Sir Michael Caine and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Often subject to a two-year plus waiting list, the model underwent its first major facelift in 1986 with the arrival of the Corniche II. Visually distinguished by colour-coded bumpers / door mirrors and chrome side trims that accentuated its wheelarches / sills, changes to the newcomer were far more than skin deep. In common with Rolls-Royce’s other so-called ‘20,000 Series’ cars, the four-seater benefited from a vastly improved electrical system, better air-conditioning, more engine power, superior reliability, increased fuel efficiency, simplified servicing and ABS brakes. For example, the mellifluous 6750cc V8 engine gained a new inlet manifold, flywheel, firing order, throttle body, starter motor, cylinder heads and pistons plus Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection etc. The power steering, cooling / fuel / hydraulic systems, seats, automatic transmission and cruise control were all uprated too, while the final drive ratio was increased to 2.69:1 (due to the extra bhp/lbft). The changes even went as far as more potent electric window motors. Painted in a wide variety of colours and trimmed with the finest materials available, each Corniche II took the best part of 1,000 hours to build. Only current from 1986-1989, the majority of the 1,228 examples completed were to left-hand drive specification. Necessarily exclusive, the Rolls-Royce’s list price had risen to more than £120,000 by 1989 (the equivalent of over £380,000 in today’s money). The Corniche II and its short-lived Corniche III successor were also notable for being the last Rolls-Royce Convertibles to benefit from the attention of the artisan craftsmen at Mulliner Park Ward (where they were handbuilt alongside the special order Phantom VI limousine) with the Crewe manufacturer choosing to close the doors of its North London-based coachbuilding subsidiary in 1991.

First registered in Leicestershire on 10th August 1989 (or so its ‘G99 VNR’ number plate would imply), chassis CH29271 is further understood to have had just four former keepers the last of whom retained it for twenty-seven years (1993 – 2020). Treated to some £1,650 worth of expenditure by Grays of Hanwell, London shortly

before being acquired by its current registered keeper, he in turn entrusted it to respected marque specialist D.E.W. Car Services of Witney, Oxfordshire for a major 24,000-mile service and thorough going over during February 2021. As well as the rear axle oil being changed and the automatic gearbox fettled (fresh fluid, new gear selector shaft seal), the Rolls-Royce benefited from attention to its brake (callipers, accumulators, pipes), coolant (radiator, expansion tank, hoses) and ignition (distributor cap, rotor arm) systems not to mention new engine mounts, refaced exhaust manifolds, fresh rocker cover gaskets, renewed oil cooler / PAS hoses and even sundry replacement dashboard bulbs. Subsequent work saw D.E.W. Car Services overhaul the air-conditioning (new compressor, dryer, expansion valve). Sparingly used thereafter, less than 1,500 miles have been covered since the Corniche II underwent all these improvements. Warranted by the seller to have travelled a mere 57,000 miles from new, the ultra-luxurious soft-top is said to ‘drive very well indeed’. A stunning motorcar to behold especially on a sunny day when it seems to have a magnetic effect on fellow motorists and passersby, the Rolls-Royce has lost none of its power to impress. Ideal for touring especially with its hood, hood bag and air-conditioning in such fine order, this decidedly handsome Corniche II is seemingly ideally suited to the English, French or any other Riviera! Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, maintenance / service invoices totalling circa £13,000 and MOT certificate valid until January 2027.

1972 Rover P6 4500 S

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: MBD 307K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 48102943A

The last P-Series Rover, the P6 was introduced in October 1963. Designed by Spen King, David Bache and Gordon Bashford, it featured a pontoon chassis, independent front suspension and disc brakes. Winner of the first European Car of the Year Award, the P6 was optioned with 3.5-litre V8 power from 1968. Equipped with standard three-speed automatic transmission, Motor magazine achieved 0-60mph in 9.5 seconds and 117mph. Initially, the P6 arrived as the 2000 which was advanced for its time, with De Dion tube suspension at the rear, four-wheel disc brakes. After the award-winning 2000, came the 2200 as well as the range-topping 3500S. Launched in 1970, MKII variants had bootmounted batteries, power bulge bonnets and revised rear lights.

This unique P6 is the result of a full nut and bolt restoration in the late 1990s when a more powerful 4.5-litre V8 was installed into a 3500S coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Affectionately known as ‘Beastie’ in P6 circles, this is an extremely well-known car that has won multiple awards and been featured at the NEC Classic Motor Show on several occasions.

Finished in Almond with a Huntsman Roof and Sandalwood Boxpleat ambla interior, it develops 280bhp, with the SD1 4.5-litre stage 3 engine giving all the power needed while the luxurious interior and eye-catching exterior offer exceptionally high levels of style and comfort too. It also benefits from a 5-speed manual gearbox, power steering, has had a full nut and bolt documented restoration with pictures and has just been through the workshops of Bridge Classic cars where it was fully serviced and had some minor age-related paint blemishes rectified.

A real head-turner, ‘Beastie’ is a show-winning classic car with modifications that make it a very desirable ownership proposition.

1911 Austin 10hp Melbourne Two-Seat Tourer with Dickey

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: VL 8654 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 10035

This splendid survivor with two-seater-plus-dickey coachwork is understood to have started life in Australia before being imported into Britain in the 1970s, where it was restored c.1980 by Robert James of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. Mr. James’s work included rebuilding the engine and four-speed gearbox, with the engine being rebored and fitted with new pistons, tappets and valve springs, plus a new clutch. Concerning the chassis, new shackle pins to the original specification were made up, the springs were refurbished and reset, the steering and radiator were overhauled and the brake cables were replaced. The Austin was finished in a jaunty Blue with a Maroon interior, but it appears never to have been pressed into use until much later. It was not registered until 2000, when it received the number ‘SV 8341’ having obtained a dating letter from the Vintage Austin Register, and it still had not been driven when it was sold at auction in 2005.

Its new owner immediately treated it to an engine overhaul, and it was subsequently subject to extensive restoration and an interior retrim c.2010, which saw it finished to a much higher and more authentic cosmetic standard in Burgundy with Gold coachlines and Mushroom upholstery. The work also included a new hood and, pleasingly, it has been issued with a more appropriate registration than the age-related ‘SV’ number. The engine is now helpfully equipped with a Dynastart, but the car is again in need of light recommissioning after a period of inactivity. Offered with V5C, VAR dating letter, invoices, copies of articles and manuals, and photographs of the overhaul, it represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a rare and thoroughly charming Edwardian which has seen remarkably little use across half a century in this country. A trailer and engine are available by separate negotiation.

1929 Essex Super Six Roadster

1927 Buick Master Six Tourer

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection No Reserve*

72

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1114470

This extremely characterful Roadster spent about half its life in Pennsylvania, having received a state title there in 1954, but ownership history is only known as far back as 1990, when it was bought by Robert E. Brown of Collegeville. A Pennsylvania window sticker suggests it was last on the road in 1982. Mr. Brown retained it until 2005, when he sold it to Peter Macey in its lovely unrestored condition for $15,000. It was promptly imported to Britain alongside the Essex Speedabout which Mr. Macey had purchased around the same time.

Since arriving in England twenty years ago, it has never been in use or even registered with the DVLA. It will therefore require recommissioning and registration, but it strikes us as the perfect candidate for a vintage ‘oily rag,’ which is bound to turn heads when it attends its first British rally. Beneath the exquisite patina, it appears to be a very solid car. It is supplied with much recent history including import and HMRC paperwork, the Pennsylvania title, a sale receipt from Mr. Brown, and a 1929 Super-Six Instruction Book in good condition.

Reg No: OSL 296 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1648288

We have a certain penchant for jaunty 1950s and ’60s vintage car restorations, and this 1927 Buick Master Six is among the loveliest—we especially like the bright orange brake drums and inner wings! It was supplied new to Australia but was shipped to Virginia in 1965 by Henry Cheatham, a Lynchburg Region AACA member, who coincidentally also owned and restored the Australian-bodied Essex Phaeton which Peter Macey bought in 1976. Surviving papers suggest that Mr. Cheatham fielded the Buick in several events, including the Horseless Carriage Club of America North Carolina Region’s Sixteenth Annual Tour in 1967, the Danville Tobacco Association’s Centennial Anniversary Festival Antique Car Show & Parade in 1969, and the Historic Fredericksburg Region 12th Annual Meet at Culpeper (undated). It remained in use in Virginia up to 1977.

For twenty-three years, the Buick’s history goes blank, but by 2000 it had joined the Macey Collection and was registered with the DVLA. However, Mr. Macey only ran it on the road for one year before placing it in storage, so it will require recommissioning and then, perhaps, some ‘oily rag’ preservation. It is supplied with the V5C, a V5, the 2000 MOT certificate, and Virginia Inspection Certificates and events paperwork from 1965-74.

1929 Essex Challenger Super Six Four-Door Sedan

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection

No Reserve*

Reg No: RT 5873

MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 984526

This beautiful and highly original British-market Super Six Sedan was first registered on July 6th, 1929, and was among the first cars acquired by Peter Macey for what was, at the time, only a very modest vintage stable. The ‘RT’ registration denotes East Suffolk, but it was 1952 when Mr. Macey discovered the saloon and took it home with him to his farm near Maidstone. It was painted Maroon at the time, and it is quite clear that the paint has not been touched since. This Essex served Mr. Macey especially well, as he licensed it annually up to 1964, and MOTs show that it was still being driven as of 1981. It has probably been out of use for forty-five years, though, and will therefore benefit from some very sympathetic recommissioning. It is known that Mr. Macey attended rallies, and he may have done so with this car.

Its condition and history are such that we would advocate for the ‘oily rag’ approach, rather than a full restoration. It is supplied with the 1952 buff logbook, a V5, MOT certificates from 1976 and 1981, and a 1929 Super Six Instruction Book and Parts List, both in good condition.

Reg No: DS 7194 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 956366

The ‘BC 219’ number plate suggests that this delightfully patinated four-door Sedan was originally supplied to New Zealand. Nothing is known of its history over there, but its condition suggests it led a fairly easy life. It was imported into Britain in 1985 by Michael George Richard Mitcham of Mitcham’s Agricultural Machinery Ltd. in Burwell, Cambridgeshire, but by January, 1986, it had already been snapped up by Peter Macey, and he had registered it with the DVLA as ‘DS 7194’. However, it seems he never had number plates made for the car, and so it is safe to assume that it has never covered any distance on British roads.

Fortunately, it remains on the DVLA database, so it should only be a matter of recommissioning it and having some plates made before it is being taken out for some gentle drives, just as it deserves. Seemingly the recipient of an older restoration, this Essex is bound to be very well-received when it is eventually glimpsed for the first time at a British show. It is supplied with a V5, an HM Customs & Excise form, and 1929 Super-Six Instruction Book in good condition.

Reg No: EY52 NFK MOT: June 2027 Chassis No: WDB2304742F027897

Completed to order number 0253750316 on August 14th 2002, chassis F027897 was supplied new via Mercedes-Benz Spellbrook of Bishop Stortford. Finished in Obsidian Black with Anthracite leather upholstery, the two-seater’s specification also included Parktronic, COMAND, Premium Sound System, TV tuner, heated / multi-contour seats and Bi-Xenon headlights etc. Resident in Monaco for several years, it is conjectured that the Mediterranean tax haven is where the SL55 AMG underwent a BRABUS-inspired cosmetic makeover with the renowned German tuner’s logo adorning its bonnet, boot lid, flanks and fifteen-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels. The accompanying service book contains eleven entries up to 84,575 miles (circa 1,000 miles ago) and the current MOT certificate was issued on June 29th 2026 with ‘no advisories’. Some £3,000 has been spent over the last two years with Mercedes-Benz of Grimsby sorting rain sensor and gearbox selection issues and Grimsby Cars Ltd replacing a supercharger bearing, auxiliary belt idler pulley / tensioner, air spring unit (n/s/r), washer pump and gearbox dipstick etc. The rear tyres have been renewed too. A menacing looking machine that attracted numerous onlookers during our recent photography session, ‘EY52 NFK’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s wallet, first aid kit and wind deflector.

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: S560 AAN MOT: T.B.A. Chassis No: SAJDKAMF3CR853352

One of the proudest traditions in Daimler history was that since 1900, when the then Prince of Wales, later HM King Edward VII, purchased his first Daimler car with the Super V8 being no different, with Queen Elizabeth II herself having owned one. First registered on the 24th August 1998, this is a rare and desirable LWB Super V8. Finished in Red with a Cream leather interior and displaying only c.63,000 miles on the odometer, there are just four former keepers recorded on the V5C. Owned by the previous registered keeper for the last 4 years and only covering some 7,000 miles in that period, it appears the car has been well serviced and maintained, with main dealer service history until 55,066 miles in 2016 with Lancaster Jaguar Reading, it was at that point when the previous keeper became ill. Maintenance has included the fitment of a new battery, spacesaver spare wheel and four matching ‘good-tread’ Pirelli ‘P zeros’ on the car. There’s a new centre cap on order for the front nearside wheel and will be fitted before the sale. Offered with a comprehensive main dealer service record up to 2016 along with the book pack, 2 keys and a V5C, the Daimler is due to be offered with a fresh MOT certificate.

1968 Bedford HA Van

Reg No: KC04 KUX MOT: None Chassis No: WDB2094422T034160

The second-generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class launched in 2002 in both Coupé and Convertible guises. Remaining in manufacture until 2010, the CLK was offered with a selection of engines in straight-four, straight-five, V6 and V8 variants. Quite possibly the perfect car for open-road summer motoring, this CLK looks delightful in the combination of Telurium Silver metallic paint with Grey leather upholstery and a Black soft-top. It is, altogether, a very desirably specified car, with features including 16in. five-spoke alloy wheels, a CD changer, heated seats, folding and dimming mirrors, headlamp cleaners, and an anti-theft warning system.

It has survived in its present excellent condition partly on account of the fact that it has had just one lady owner from new, who has covered just 77,500 miles. Registered new in Borehamwood, it has spent all its life in the Hitchin area of Hertfordshire, and was in regular use until 2025. It may now require some recommissioning works having been off the road for just under a year. The paint and interior are seemingly in lovely condition, and it is supplied with the V5C and the original book pack in the Mercedes-Benz wallet.

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*

Reg No: UMV 632F MOT: T.B.A. Chassis No: 923708V144510

Introduced in 1963 by Bedford Vehicles, the HA van was based on the Vauxhall Viva HA saloon and remained in production until 1983 thanks to its practicality and reliability. Initially powered by a 1,057cc engine, capacity increased to 1,159cc in 1967 and 1,256cc on later models. Available in 6cwt and heavy-duty 8cwt forms, the HA featured a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox, a top speed of around 60mph and fuel economy of up to 39mpg. A familiar sight across Britain, it became a staple of utility companies and government departments, with British Gas, the Post Office and, later, British Telecom operating extensive fleets.

First registered in 1968, this HA remained with its original owner for over 50 years and spent much of its life converted for camper use. Acquired by the vendor, it has since been restored and refinished in bright red with period-style 1960s signwriting. The engine and clutch have been overhauled, while new suspension, electronic ignition and a stainless steel exhaust have been fitted. Supplied with period painter and decorator’s equipment and a display mannequin, it won ‘Best Commercial Vehicle’ at the Tatton Park Classic Car Show and is offered with its V5C and a fresh MOT.

2011 Bentley Continental GT

Desirable Mulliner Driving Specification example

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000*

Reg No: SF61 DJJ MOT: February 2027

Chassis No: SCBFH63W0CC071999

79

Silver is a popular colour for the Continental GT, and it’s not hard to see why—it’s the perfect colour for showing off the elegant silhouette. This example has been tastefully paired with a Black interior, and is rendered all the lovelier thanks to the Mulliner Driving Specification package (confirmed in the logbook), which includes special upholstery and trim.

This car has had only four registered keepers from new, and the present owner has enjoyed it the most of all, having owned it since 2018. All the owners seem to have looked after it very well, though, as the ten service stamps testify. The first service was performed by Bentley at 9,151 miles in January, 2014, and in fact the first five services were all the work of Bentley main dealers, up to 35,775 miles in September, 2018. Following one service by the Chequers Hill Garage in Walton-on-the-Hill in 2019, the remaining four have all been performed by Frank Dale & Stepsons, the well-known and old-established Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist in Sandhurst. These occurred at 42,693 miles, 44,556 miles, 46,027 miles, and, at the most recent service in 2024, 46,679 miles. Considering the Bentley’s present mileage is now just a little under 48,000 miles, we need hardly say more about the diligence of the current registered owner.

The care the Bentley has received is reflected in its impressive MOT history, with it having a present MOT valid until February, 2027. The present MOT is valid until February, 2027. We can only concur with the vendor when he describes it as “very good” in all areas. A wonderful car for summer touring, the Continental is supplied with service history and the V5C.

1972 Citroen DS

Desirable UK-supplied RHD example

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: WGY 1G MOT: July 2027

Chassis No: 02FD9983

Citroën sold 1,455,000 DSs, but survivors seldom come with as much history as this excellent specimen, desirably equipped with the five-speed manual gearbox. It is had only five registered keepers from new, and its ownership history can be traced all the way back to the second owner. It was purchased by its fourth owner, a gentleman from Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1998, and it entered the present ownership in 2003, that of a known Citroën specialist. The MOT history is traceable back to 1994, when the odometer reading stood at 40,571 miles. The Citroën’s mileage has slowly increased during the vendor’s ownership, to over 56,750 miles, and that appears to be the original mileage from new.

The DS was subject to an extensive bodywork restoration in 2010, which included a full repaint and the application of Waxoyl to all the cavities. Further work has included the refurbishment of the headlining and the fitment of a new rear blind, and at some stage the steering rack has been replaced. Some time has been spent tidying the engine bay up to its correct appearance around covid time, including with new cowl covers. The interior appears pleasingly original, with a light patina, though a retro-styled radio has been installed and is appropriately in keeping. The car’s other notable features include Michelin tyres, 123 electronic ignition, and stainless steel sill covers. It is supplied with paperwork including the V5C, period sales literature, and a large collection of MOTs. Notably, it has just been issued with a fresh MOT with no advisories, which remains valid until July, 2027.

2001 MGF 1.8I

Reg No: Y814

KUJ MOT: November 2026 Chassis No: SARR0WBGB1D524866

First registered on the 6th April 2001, this MGF was specified in the attractive colour scheme of Anthracite Grey over a Duo-Tone Biscuit interior. Evidently cherished throughout its life, it has covered just c.77,000 miles from new and has been in the ownership of the current owner since early 2025.

In 2019 at 67,142 miles, the clutch was renewed and then in the current ownership, the engine has been treated to a thorough overhaul which has included the renewal of the head gasket (plus a skim) and timing belt, a new radiator and cap, a new IRT valve plus a thorough service. Having covered just over 1,000 miles since the works, the vendor has now lost his storage space for his private collection so has opted to sell off several of his fleet to aide the move. The car will be sold complete with a history file that contains a workshop manual, invoices for the aforementioned works, a stack of MOT certificates plus the V5C.

1999 BMW 316i SE Compact

No Reserve*

Reg No: V96 DPB MOT: None Chassis No: WBACS22050AT92528

A fantastic and characterful “Youngtimer” with daily-driver potential, this seldomseen 316i Compact is offered as a recommissioning project, having been off the road since 2019. It has an impressively low ownership with just five registered keepers from new—the fourth keeper kept it from 2005 to 2011, and it has been in current registered ownership ever since then. It remains in highly presentable and largely sound original condition, having covered only around 100,000 miles from new.

The paintwork appears to be in good condition all-round, and in a very wellchosen colour (‘German racing white’ will never fail to put us in mind of the allconquering BMW 328s of the 1930s), while the cloth-upholstered interior looks an extremely pleasant and comfortable place to be. Altogether, the smart little BMW possesses a lot of class for a humble hatchback, and perhaps to a greater degree than the most modern of BMWs. It is hoped to not be an especially complicated matter to put it back on the road again, and then it can be enjoyed as an appealing nostalgic ’90s daily driver, or even fully refurbished and taken shown off in the “Youngtimer” classes. It is supplied with a V5C and a book pack.

1993 Rover MINI Cooper 1.3i

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: L587 XDX MOT: February 2027

Chassis No: SAXXNNAYCBD079740

Alec Issigonis’ revolutionary Mini transformed the small car, its ingenious packaging making remarkable use of a footprint little more than 10 feet long while accommodating four adults. More than five million were built over 41 years, but the most desirable were the Cooper models, created by racing driver and constructor John Cooper. Impressed by the Mini’s handling but disappointed by its modest performance, Cooper persuaded BMC to produce a more powerful version, launching the Mini Cooper in 1961. The Cooper S followed in 1963, and by 1964 the definitive 1275cc version had established an outstanding reputation in rallying and on the road. Reintroduced as a factory Rover model in 1990, the Cooper continued to evolve, gaining single-point fuel injection in 1991. This single-point fuel-injected example produces 63bhp, offering lively performance and renowned handling.

Finished in classic red with a contrasting white roof, it retains its original half-cloth sports interior, Minilite-style alloy wheels and stereo. The vendor advises that this exceptionally well-preserved Cooper has covered a reputed 18,959 miles and remains in very good overall condition throughout. Supplied with a clear MOT until February 2027, it is ready to be enjoyed immediately by its next custodian.

1952 MG YA Saloon

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*

Reg No: RPE 104 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 7207

Introduced in 1947, the Y-Type saloon was an important car for MG. Boasting a new welded box-section chassis its sophisticated coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension was the work of Sir Alec Issigonis and MG draughtsman Jack Daniels. With rack and pinion steering, four-speed manual gearbox, and hydraulic drum brakes as standard, it was powered by the same 1250cc XPAG four-cylinder as the TC Midget. Said to develop some 46bhp and 58.5lbft of torque, the single SU carburettor unit reputedly endowed the model with a 71mph top speed.

First registered in January 1952, this YA is described as a fantastic example. Finished in the desirable “Cream Cracker” colour combination of brown over cream, the car also has a beautiful Tan leather interior. The MG had been in longterm ownership for over 10 years, during which time it has clearly been well cared for and maintained. The engine has been overhauled, a stainless steel exhaust system fitted, and a professionally re-trimmed leather interior installed. Extras include a factory-style sunroof and rear window blind. This car appears to be wellknown within enthusiast circles, and has recently been through the workshops of Bridge Classic Cars in readiness for a new owner to enjoy.

2003 Ford Focus RS

Uprated to 320bhp!

Estimate: £18,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: RV03 YUG MOT: March 2027

Chassis No: WF0BXXGCDB3C88153

In 2002, Ford launched the Focus RS, returning the famous title to one of its cars for the first time since the Escort RS Cosworth. It was inspired by Colin McRae’s WRC exploits and featured a 2.0-litre Duratec RS engine with advanced turbocharging system and oil-spray cooled pistons to achieve more power. Externally, the car looked far more imposing than a regular Focus helped by a competition-inspired interior featuring leather and Alcantara Sparco seats. The car took a number of styling cues from the WRC car and even used custom 18’’ OZ Racing alloy wheels as a nod to its competition cousin. By the end of production, just 2,164 RHD Focus RS Mk1’s were built.

Finished in Imperial Blue Metallic, this RS is understood to have been subject to and extensive restoration completed in 2016. Additionally, the underside was professionally restored by Demon Performance Centre at a cost of £3,445 in 2018. Performance has been significantly improved, with the engine upgraded to develop c.320bhp. Specification includes a Garrett T25 GT turbocharger, Forge wastegate actuator with 18psi spring, Dastek Unichip ECU mapping, front mounted intercooler, GGR airbox, ceramic-coated Primary Design tubular manifold and Milltek cat back exhaust system. The drivetrain retains the Quaife automatic torque-biasing lsd, with KW Variant 3 coil over suspension, AP organic clutch, Vibratechnics gearbox mounts and polybushed components throughout. Braking is via Brembo four-pot callipers, AP two-piece front discs and stainless brake hoses. Riding on silver 18-inch OZ Racing alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, carbon fibre front bumper vents and spotlight surrounds, embellish the purposeful RS appearance. The interior features Sparco blue and black leather and Alcantara seats re-trimmed steering wheel, carbon fibre console and original RS numbered plaque. Upgrades include a boost gauge and a Scan Gauge providing engine data and performance monitoring. Offered with book pack, sundry invoices and V5C.

1987 Ford Capri 280 Brooklands

Current ownership since 1992

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: E300 ROL MOT: May 2027

Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECGG11134

Ford billed the Capri as ‘The car you always promised yourself’ and some 1.9 million customers agreed during the production years 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 15-inch sevenspoke alloy wheels. Around 10 percent of purchasers opted for the turbo conversion, while the remaining cars were normally aspirated. Even in un-turbocharged form the performance was brisk, with 60mph available in 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 130mph.

Build no.361 of the 1,038 280 Brooklands produced and supplied by Cowies of Birmingham from which the car still wears the rear license plate, E300 ROL was purchased by the 2nd owner, our vendor, in September 1992. A highly original example with no obvious alterations from factory specification, it has never been restored or stripped down for major works. Registering c.76,000 miles, the car has been dry stored in a garage when not in use and loved dearly by the vendor and his wife as it was the car they ‘simply had to have’. Offered with original book pack, service book and MOT’s from 1991 onwards, MOT to May 2027 and Swansea V5C.

1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

One family and 13,200 miles from new

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: ORA 200W MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SCAZS0007BCH02152

Unveiled at the 1980 British Motor Show, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit utilised a revamped version of its Shadow II predecessor’s platform. However, inhouse stylist Fritz Feller’s adoption of an airier glasshouse, lower / wider radiator grille and boxier proportions resulted in a far more ‘a la mode’ aesthetic. Powered by a higher output version of Crewe’s proven 6750cc OHV V8 engine allied to automatic transmission, the newcomer was hailed by the contemporary motoring press as a paragon of four-wheeled luxury and refinement. Initially priced at £49,629 (circa £220,000 in today’s money), the model proved necessarily exclusive. Finished in Ice Green metallic with Beige leather upholstery, this remarkable Silver Spirit was supplied new to the vendor’s late father-in-law, a prominent landowner and businessman, by Mann Egerton of Derby. First registered as ‘ORA 200W’ on May 1st 1981, the Rolls-Royce is warranted to have covered just 13,200 miles (an average of 293 per annum). Kept in the same garage under the same tailormade cotton cover its entire life, the luxury saloon lay dormant for nigh on two decades before being recommissioned at a cost of approximately £5,000 during 2019. Having had attention paid to its fuel, brake and suspension systems plus a through service, the Silver Spirit passed a MOT test on October 7th 2019 at 12,841 miles with ‘no advisories’. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Rolls-Royce is a real timewarp. The sumptuous interior is in wonderful condition, while the exterior remains highly presentable save for the odd blemish. As well as its factory warranty card, the four-seater pleasingly retains a rare, marque-branded ‘Spirit of Stereo’ cassette pack, ‘Mann Egerton’ logoed number plates and two sets of keys. A rare opportunity to acquire an attractively hued, single family owned, very low mileage Silver Spirit with future concours potential.

1978 Peugeot 604 V6 SL

Subject to a recent cosmetic overhaul

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: XUX 887S MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 604A3386560255

Unveiled to considerable acclaim at the 1975 Geneva Motor Show, the Peugeot 604 marked the marque’s confident return to the executive saloon market for the first time since the ill-fated 601 of the 1930s. Penned by the renowned Italian design house Pininfarina, its elegant styling was widely praised at launch. Beneath the handsome bodywork, the 604 drew upon the proven engineering of the Peugeot 504 while introducing the sophisticated PRV 2.7-litre V6 engine, jointly developed with Renault and Volvo. The 604 established itself as a capable flagship, offering a compelling alternative to its German and British contemporaries.

This handsome and rare example of the 604 with a V6 engine was first supplied through Peugeot Ets Lepinoit et Cie of Morsang-surorge, a region just south of Paris on the 24th July 1978. According to the vendor, it was in the possession of just one family prior to him purchasing it on a trip to France and importing it to the UK several years ago. It remained on static display in his private collection for a few years, prior to him deciding to get it registered for the road last year.

After receiving a UK registration as ‘XUX 887S’, the vendor opted to give the 604 a thorough mechanical recommissioning for road use and had the external paintwork refreshed. Thankfully, much of the originality of it has been spared, and it pleasingly retains the original interior leatherwork and several items that allude to its long-term family ownership, such as various dealer stickers in the windscreens etc. Now offered for sale as the landlord of his storage facility has asked him to vacate it, it is supplied with a history file including the original guarantee card, several documents relating to the French registration, an original brochure plus the V5C.

2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible

Just 1 former keeper

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

1998 Jaguar XJR

89

Reg No: GL10 DSE MOT: February 2027 Chassis No: SAJAC44R8BMB39028

This XKR is beautifully presented in what we think is one of the loveliest colour schemes Jaguar offered, though it is by no means common—Kyanite Blue with an Ivory leather interior. It’s an extremely summery car, and there’s still time to squeeze in a last-minute holiday to the French Riviera before the best of summer is past… It also happens to be in very good order, thanks to the fact that it is has had just one very sympathetic former keeper and has covered only 67,000 miles from new. It has been properly maintained throughout that time with services at appropriate intervals, the most recent having taken place at 66,308 miles in February, 2026.

The excellent state of the paint and interior may be seen from the photographs, but the soft top was starting to get worn out, so an entirely new one was fitted in 2025. The MOT history provides further evidence of the level of use and upkeep that the Jaguar has received, and the current certificate is valid until February, 2027. With such a car as this, we anticipate many happy summers of motoring.

No Reserve*

Reg No: S633 RDF MOT: September 2026 Chassis No: SAJJPALF3CR850497

Supplied by Rybrook Jaguar Solihull on 27th July 1998 and finished in Sapphire blue metallic over Oatmeal leather, we understand the car received major works to the body in c.2014 with a photograph on file and as such the body presents well for a near 30 year old steel-bodied XJR. This has no doubt been helped by the current owner of 11 years keeping it garaged when not in use. With a supercharged V8 producing 370bhp from the factory which sounded quiet at the time of consignment, it benefits from replacement chain and tensioners at c.104,000 miles in 2007. In January 2016 it was a feature and cover car in the V8 saloon section of Modern Classics magazine where it went head to head with the likes of the Maserati Quattroporte and BMW M5. Supplied with a history file showing service history from Jaguar alongside assorted invoices, the vendor himself is a qualified motor engineer and as such has conducted his own servicing during his ownership, the last being in December 2022 at 169,230 miles. Offered with current MOT to September 2026 and Swansea V5C.

1981 Mercedes 380 SLC

1981 Triumph Spitfire 1500

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: ODB 61W MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: 10702522001369

Introduced in March 1980, the 380 SLC utilised an extended wheelbase version of its R107 convertible sibling’s platform complete with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering. A refined grand tourer, the four-seater’s rear windows housed louvred sail panels which helped disguise its additional length. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 3.8 litre SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 204bhp. Reputedly capable of over 125mph, it remained in production until September 1981 by which time 3,789 are thought to have been made. Attractively finished in Champagne Metallic with Deep Brown leather / velour upholstery, ‘ODB 61W’ is understood to have had four previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership during 2016. Described by the vendor as being in ‘very good to excellent overall condition’, the Mercedes-Benz was reportedly treated to a replacement timing chain and tensioners etc in the recent past. Benefiting from an electric sunroof as well as frameless electric windows, the 380 SLC allows its occupants to enjoy ‘fresh air motoring’. Accompanied by a V5C Registration Document and history file (sales brochure, assorted old MOTs, numerous service / maintenance receipts and invoices), ‘ODB 61W’ passed its most recent MOT test on June 22nd 2026 with ‘no advisories’.

Reg No: UHJ 631W MOT: Exempt Chassis No: TFADWSAT009498

Evolving through five guises over the course of an eighteen-year production run, the final Spitfire variant, the 1500, arrived in 1974. With a reputed 71bhp and 82lbft of torque on tap from its 1493cc OHV four-cylinder engine, the newcomer boasted genuine 100mph performance. Visually indistinguishable from its Mk IV forebear save for some minor trim differences, the Spitfire 1500 was a decent seller on both sides of the Atlantic and the model remained in production until August 1980.

Finished in Pageant Blue over black leather/cloth houndstooth interior this example is said to present well. In current family ownership since 2021, over £5,500 has been spent in this time mainly with Rimmer brothers for parts supplied. Work done to the car was carried out by the vendor who had an engineering background. Currently displaying c.60,000 miles on the odometer and with MOT paperwork dating back to 1993 at 46,710 miles this may well be genuine but cannot be warranted. The car features a modern stereo and is temptingly offered without reserve with a large history file and current V5C.

1933 BSA 10hp saloon

c.50 year family ownership

No Reserve*

Chassis No: P1B8277BW

Launched in 1963, the S-type was marketed as more of an ‘executive’ car than its MKII sibling. Boasting superior ride and handling characteristics thanks to independent rear suspension, it enjoyed a more spacious interior complete with walnut console. Visually distinguished by its elongated boot, flatter roofline and hooded headlamps, the model was powered by a choice of 3.4-litre (210bhp) or 3.8-litre (220bhp) DOHC straight-six engines allied to four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Maintaining Jaguar’s reputation for speed, luxury and mechanical refinement, it remained in production until 1968 by which time approximately 25,000 had been sold. Boasting matching numbers and an extremely original example, NUC 799E has been owned by the vendor since 2021 and used occasionally since for shows and weekend outings. Subject to a comprehensive restoration completed in the 1990s including uprated carburettors, it is presented in Opalescent Blue over dark blue leather upholstery and displays a believed c.30,440 miles from new corroborated by MOT certificates dating back to January 1980. Said to run and drive well, it presents generally very well cosmetically. Offered with a large history file, including the original service manual and assorted maintenance invoices and MOT to August 2026.

Reg No: DM 8206 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: D605

BSA introduced their sturdy 10hp light car in 1933. Built by BSA’s Daimler subsidiary at Coventry, the 10hp was powered by a 1,185cc four-cylinder engine driving via Daimler’s fluid flywheel and four-speed pre-selector transmission. It is understood the car was intended to help get the masses moving again after the great depression of 1929, as such it had fewer creature comforts and cost less than its Daimler and Lanchester siblings.

In family ownership for c.50 years, DM 8206 was acquired by the vendor’s uncle in the mid 1970s and the family recalls Sunday drives in the countryside. Subsequently it was sadly left in the garage for some years due to ill health. From 2018, the family decided to get the car running again and spent over £11,000 on mechanical expenditure until about 2023 with Trevor Farrington LTD of Knutsford. This included but is not limited to timing chain, head gasket, 4 pistons, cylinder liners, engine mounts and an engine out gearbox service. With a wonderful history and much mechanical expenditure, the little BSA is a perfect candidate for an oily rag car to keep preserved. Offered with spare parts, invoices, buff logbook and V5C.

1950 Bristol 401

Reg No: HSG 729 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 401/768

Built in 1950, chassis 401/768 is understood to have been first registered as ‘HSG 729’ in the Edinburgh area. Little is known about its formative years; however, the late owner was able to establish from the Northamptonshire vehicle archive that by 1965 it was in the custodianship of a Mr Harris of Daventry before it was acquired by the late Mr Kane in 1985.

Mr Kane’s daughter understands that her father purchased the car in a dilapidated state with the intention of performing a complete restoration. He immediately stripped it to a rolling shell, removed its paint work, removed items from the interior and pulled the engine unit and gearbox. In the following years, invoices show that the chrome trim was replated and the interior woods were reconditioned. Unfortunately, Mr Kane passed away during 2024 following a period of illness, and the project was not completed. It is now offered for sale by his family and is thought to be largely complete. It is supplied with its correct-type engine and gearbox, the re-plated brightwork and refurbished interior woodwork, several boxes of parts, and a history file containing invoices for previous work, an instruction manual plus the current UK V5C.

1937 MG TA

Single ownership for nearly 35 years

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: DYV 562

MOT: Exempt Chassis No: TA 1496

This pretty TA started life on 2nd July 1937, leaving the factory in red as shown on the car today. The ownership history dates back to 1960. The vendor purchased the car from a classic dealership in Weedon as a project, and completed the restoration with much previous work being redone from scratch. Photographs record this process which concluded in 2000. A new hood was fitted in 2013. The registration number ‘DYV 562’ was retained as the original 1960s Registration Book was (and is) in the history file. This also has extensive invoices showing £1000s spent on annual servicing and upgrades at a classic MG specialist, along with parts invoices and assorted MOTs back to 2003. Also present is a magazine from July 1992 with the advertisement from when the car was purchased and monthly storage check sheets from 2019 to date.

The TA is now being sold out of the same ownership of nearly 35 years, having been constantly improved, well maintained and enjoyed during this time. Recently serviced, it presents extremely well, starts on the button and is currently in professional dehumidified storage where it has been serviced annually and run up to temperature monthly since 2019.

1978 Ford Escort RS2000

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000*

Reg No: YAW 101S MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GCATUT00195

Developed in conjunction with Ford of Cologne and launched during January, 1976, the Escort Mk. II RS2000 was based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with MacPherson strut front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, rack-and-pinion steering and disc and drum brakes. Powered by a longitudinallymounted two-litre four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the RS2000 was credited with 110bhp and a 110mph-plus top speed. Many were visually distinguished from other Escorts by a fibreglass snout housing quad headlamps, however, the model could be had in ‘Custom’ trim with a nonconed front. Weighing in at around 2,000lbs., the Mk. II RS2000 benefited from lightweight construction, paired with sports-tuned suspension that enhanced its cornering ability. The car enjoyed considerable success in motorsport, contributing to Ford’s dominance in rallying during the late ‘70s.

With an estimated 10,000 produced between 1976 and 1980, there has never been a time when the top performance of Escort of the ’70s has been anything other than highly desirable. That is not to say they have necessarily always been appreciated—when they were still fairly new, the RS2000s boy-racer appeal meant that many were worn-out through hard driving, and they vanished seemingly overnight.

Subject to a self-evident restoration in c.2019, this surviving example appears to have been UK registered in September 1982 with the exact reason for this remaining unclear. Currently displaying a credible 77,200 miles and benefiting from an Aldridge Trimming of Wolverhampton interior and understood to have had two replacement brake calipers, cambelt and plugs in 2019, the car rides on deep dish RS style alloy wheels and is understood to be fitted with a 3-Litre carburettor. Offered with a collection of invoices which include old school oval’s, old MOT certificates and current V5C document.

2000 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000*

Reg No: X273 RVV MOT: April 2027

Chassis No: SCALA61E6YCH05316

An undisputedly fine motorcar, the Graham Hull-designed Silver Seraph represented Rolls-Royce’s determination to reaffirm its position at the pinnacle of luxury motoring. Introduced in March 1998 at the Geneva Show, the Silver Seraph has gone down in history as the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royce. Following a lengthy development programme that began in the late 1980s, the model remained in production for just four years (1998-2002), during which only 1,570 examples were built at Crewe (1,382 standardwheelbase and 188 long-wheelbase cars). Of those, just 369 were right-hand-drive standard-wheelbase examples. Rolls-Royce claimed its monocoque bodyshell was 65 per cent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced, its steel monocoque being fabricated using some 6,500 laser-guided spot welds. Crafted from the finest leather hides, wood veneers and deep-pile carpets available, its cabin was wonderfully cosseting.

Power came from a BMW-derived, all-alloy 5.4-litre V12 developing 322bhp, making it the firm’s first V12-powered model since the Phantom III of 1939. Tempered by Automatic Stability Control (ASC) electronics, the Seraph was still capable of zapping from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds before topping out at a governed 140mph. Sharing its basic structure with the contemporary Bentley Arnage, the Silver Seraph nevertheless remained firmly focused on refinement, comfort and effortless luxury.

Registering c.36,000 miles from new this example was subject to a full repaint and colour change from blue to grey in 2017. With just 2 former keepers recorded on HPI, it benefited from attention to its braking system in 2018 at the cost of c.£10,000. Fitted with an aftermarket Alpine stereo ‘X273 RVVO’ is offered with a collection of invoices and current V5C document, it is noted that the driver’s side rear electric window does not work.

1969 Jensen FF

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000*

Reg No: AWA 300G MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 119/113

One of the last, and greatest, of the British GT cars, this exquisite FF must rank among the best on the market at the moment, thanks to a thorough bare-metal restoration spanning 2011 to 2022. Although carrying a Sheffield registration, the Jensen’s first owner was Mr. Winston Eustace Wolfries of Deptford, London, SE8. Impressively, he retained it until 1991, when it passed to a Mr. Bussey of Thamesmead, London, SE28. He enjoyed it until 2004, when a Mr. Johnson of Darwen, Lancashire, took ownership, keeping it until 2014. It was then in single ownership until 2023, when it was purchased for the Fox Collection, where it has remained on static display, so that it is now offered for sale with a documented five owners from new. The Jensen’s long restoration started in 2011, when Mr. Darwen commissioned an engine overhaul which cost £1,299, the parts being supplied by the Cornwall Engine Co. Around the time of the change of ownership in 2014, the Jensen benefited from £6,385 of assorted works, including wheel refurbishment and new tyres from Rejen Sales. In 2015, new bumpers were bought at a cost of £1,155, followed by new body panels at a cost of £2,287 from Jensen and Jaguar specialist Martin Robey. In 2020 the bare-shell body restoration and repaint occurred at a cost of £21,750. This work was performed by Jensen bodywork specialist C & H Autos (run by Colin Holley), and extended to include rechroming and some wiring repairs. The final major jobs were another overhaul of the engine, including the cooling system, general refurbishment of the engine bay, and renovation of the interior. This work was undertaken by Cropredy Bridge Cars and came to a total of £10,534, bringing the entire cost of the eleven-year works to over £40,000. An additional invoice for other work by C & H Autos documents an extra £3,500 of expenditure in 2017. The whole car remains wonderfully correct throughout, and the interior is especially lovely, with the original leather having been professionally refurbished. The inclusion of an eight-track player contributes greatly to the car’s period-perfect feel. The centre console has been reveneered, and at the time of sale in 2023, the power windows and the gauges were described as all being fully functional. The phrase “so clean you could eat your dinner off it” springs to mind when viewing the engine bay, and, for the most part, that is also highly original. The chromed Edelbrock air filter is an aftermarket item, but the original filter is included in the sale, so it may be easily reinstated for those all-important concours points. Having received virtually

no use since the completion of the restoration in 2022, this FF is a potential show winner. Because it has been on static display in the Fox Collection for three years, some recommissioning will be required before use, but it has been restored and looked after to such a high standard that should be the most straightforward of jobs. As regards the car’s running, it is worth repeating the assessment given by Car & Classic when it was sold in 2022: “The engine fires on the first turn of the key, with an entertaining bark, and settles into a characterful idle that gently rocks the car from side to side when you blip the throttle, signifying its mighty power. The Torqueflite automatic transmission is smooth and robust, the brakes feel appropriately strong, and the suspension rides beautifully with a cosseting feel befitting a premium grand tourer. It really is a magnificent machine to travel in.” The Jensen is supplied with extensive paperwork including DVLAsupplied ownership records, a copious quantity of invoices for parts and labour, photographic evidence of the body restoration, past MOTs, and the V5C.

100 1973 BMW 2002 Tii Warsteiner Rally Car Evocation

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: RUV 876L MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1659582

This thrilling race/rally evocation, which has had a total of eight registered keepers, was in single ownership from 1988 to 2019, when it was acquired as a restoration project by the previous owner. He was responsible for its restoration to race/rally specification in the famous Warsteiner livery, and in process spent over £18,000 on parts alone, as various invoices testify. These have been issued by well-respected businesses such as Classic Carbs, Autosparks, JD Motorsport, B & R Factors, brake parts supplier GSM Motorsport, and the BMW parts specialists Jaymic and Wallothnesch. The professional restoration was completed in 2022, since when the BMW has not been in use. Notable features include new Sparco bucket seats and Securon four-point harnesses, a Safety Devices rear roll cage and new 15in. ‘basket-weave’ wheels and Toyo Proxes tyres. The work included a complete overhaul of the engine, drivetrain, brakes, steering and suspension, with new twin Weber 45s and a custom-made stainless steel exhaust contributing to its lively specification.

The BMW recently joined the Fox Collection, since when it has been on static display, so some recommissioning may be required before use. However, we were pleased to observe how well it started and ran during our photography session, and we do not find it difficult to envisage this car embarking upon a motor sport career by next season, whether in circuit racing or speed events. But it is, of course, road legal and could equally be enjoyed with a spirited run to your local pub meet! Bidders should be aware, however, that it is supplied only with a very substantial quantity of invoices, and a new V5C will have to be applied for.

1982 Alfa Romeo GTV6

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: YEX 900X MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 03002002

Like so many of the cars in the Fox Collection, this GTV6 is a firstgrade example. It is a very rare, original British-market right-hand drive example, but it also boasts a fairly low number of keepers— just eight over forty-six years, including the long-term sixth owner from 2004 to 2020. The seventh owner kept it until 2025, when it was purchased for static display in the Fox Collection.

We don’t know just what condition the Alfa was in prior to 2020, but the absence of previous MOT records suggests it had been off the road for a very long time before its seventh owner treated it to a very comprehensive restoration from the ground up between 2020 and 2022. Invoices on file detail expenditure of £10,000 just on the parts alone, all of them from the well-known Alfa Romeo specialist EB Spares. Another noted marque specialist, CP Garage Services, performed £4,600 worth of work on the car in 2024, which included overhauling the cylinder heads, fitting a new timing belt and timing belt tensioner, and refreshing the fuel system. The odometer now shows just 5,600 miles, which we believe to be the genuine mileage completed after the restoration.

The finish of the restoration has been described as concours standard, but it doesn’t just look good. It passed its first MOT for many years in March, 2025, with no advisories, and we were pleased to see that it started readily and ran very well during our photography session. We would add, though, that after just over a year on static display in the Fox Collection, it would be advisable to conduct some checks or some light recommissioning before use. The Alfa Romeo is supplied with the instruction book, the V5C, and various invoices.

1971 Austin Mini Clubman

‘Type R’

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: EAE 932K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: XA21N534276A

Not your average Mini, this extraordinary Clubman is a true super saloon courtesy of a Honda VTEC engine and a host of other modifications. In the late 2000s, the then-owner purchased a rear-wheel drive conversion kit for the Honda VTEC engine from the well-known Mini conversion firm Z Cars. He also purchased from Z Cars the two-litre engine from a Honda Civic Type R producing about 200bhp (equating to around 350bhp per ton). The body shell was supplied from a member of the Bournemouth Mini Club, and proceeded to have its rear seat and boot floor cut out to facilitate the installation of the rear-mounted engine, and the roof skin was replaced with a carbon fibre panel from The Carbon Weezel (the fact that the Z Cars kit included a full roll cage meant the roof could be modified without sacrificing structural integrity). Clubman front panels were selected for a more aggressive appearance. Other details of the car’s specification include a Z Cars ECU, Protech coil-overs, Wilwood four-pot callipers on Z Cars 260mm vented and drilled discs, Ford Sierra rear discs and callipers, 13in. custom Minilites with Yokohama tyres, a tinted and heated windscreen, and a full custom interior with an SVA racing steering column, DD2 Lite digital instrument display, Sparco R100 black vinyl recliner seats and a bespoke black carpet.

The build took six years and the total expenditure with Z Cars came to £11,228 in 2009, with other invoices bringing the total cost of parts alone to more than £15,000. The completed ‘Z Car’ was the subject of a well-deserved article in Mini Magazine after the build. Having been bought for static display in the Fox Collection in 2023, the Type R was fully repainted while in the collection, as well as having a sequential gearbox fitted, as well as much mechanical fettling, with it running well during the recent photography session.

1978 Lancia Beta Montecarlo Spider Series I

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £14,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: XLP 670S MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 137AS0003615

The Lancia Beta Montecarlo was originally designated the Fiat X1/20 and was to be big brother to Fiat’s X1/9. The name Montecarlo came from Munari’s victory in the Monte Carlo rally in the Lancia Stratos, and in February, 1975, the X1/20 was renamed the Lancia Beta Montecarlo. The Beta Montecarlo was seen as a ‘baby Ferrari’ due to the mid-engined drivetrain layout, the classic Pininfarina styling and, of course, Lancia’s reputation for developing good performance cars was clear to all from their motorsport successes. Tipping the scales at just 1,040 kilograms, with 120 bhp and 125lb. ft. of torque, the Montecarlo was more than deserving of that title.

A lovely example of Lancia’s stylish small sports car, this Montecarlo is very rare as a British-market right-hand drive example, and was registered new on July 2nd, 1978. In fact, it is one of just 334 original right-hand drive Spiders understood to have been produced, and the window sticker suggests it was supplied through the Desira Group in Bury St. Edmunds. It was in the single ownership of the tenth keeper from 2006 to 2022, before being purchased for static display in the Fox Collection in 2024.

The car’s present excellent condition follows a restoration, which believe took place between 2016 and 2022, when it was off the road. It included the complete restoration of the bodywork and a windows-out respray in the original silver with new stripes and badges. The interior, meanwhile, appears to retain its original leather upholstery in a very good unrestored condition, as part of a wider and very desirable specification including electric seats, an AM/FM stereo, and seatbelt pretensioners.

The Lancia will require some recommissioning after its stint in the Fox Collection. It is supplied with a thick history file detailing expenditure back to the mid-1980s, and the V5C.

1971 Jensen Interceptor II

Estimate: £23,000 - £27,000*

Reg No: ACD 836K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1234196

Jensen’s C-V8 replacement debuted in 1966 reviving a name first employed in the 1950s. However, several of the firm’s traditions were broken in that the design was outsourced to Carrozzeria Touring, and the bodies made of steel, not glass fibre. Early shells were built in Italy, by Vignale, before production was established at Jensen’s Kelvin Way plant in West Bromwich. Power came from a 6276cc Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed Torque Flite automatic transmission to an LSD Salisbury rear axle. The specification included electric windows, reclining seats, a wood-rim steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, an electric clock, and reversing lights. MkI production ran for three years before being supplanted by the MkII. The MkIII followed two years later and was still in production when Jensen entered receivership during 1976, by which time some 6,408 Interceptors had been built.

In previous long term ownership for 36 years, this Interceptor benefits from a number of recent works having been carried out. These include an engine out core plug replacement, the fitment of a new Holley carburettor and air filter together with a new alternator. Sounding well on inspection and fitted with a stainless steel exhaust, ACD 836K is offered with a history file, assorted invoices plus a current Swansea V5C and displays a credible 76,000 miles.

1962 Austin-Healey 3000 MkII

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: 8737 RW MOT: Exempt Chassis No: HBT 7 18112

This example finished in Healey blue over ivory was despatched new to Bridge Clock Motors Ltd of Coventry on 26th February 1962 and we understand has always enjoyed UK ownership. Indeed the car retains its original Coventry registration. In 1997 it underwent a comprehensive restoration by Bledlow Bridge Motors and some photographs are contained in the document file. Supplied with a copy of an old-style blue log book we can see from 1997 to 1998 it moved between a Steven Collins of Marlborough Place, London via auction to our vendor, a garage owner, now retired. He has owned the car for 28 years and in that time moved to France in 2005 taking the car with him before returning to live in the UK in 2023.

Kept in mechanically excellent order as one would expect from a garage owner, on inspection the car was started up on multiple occasions starting easily every time. Maintaining good oil pressure at 40 PSI on tick-over it also drove beautifully. Indeed our vendor intends to drive it to the auction without hesitation. Inspection underneath as evidenced by the accompanying photographs shows a very clean corrosion free example. In recent times the crank was professionally ground, a new timing chain fitted, the head faced and a Kenlowe fan installed. Maintained over 28 years as his personal car, the striking original interior features original leather seats appearing in fine shape and rare to see. The tonneau cover is supple, undamaged and fits well as do the hood and side windows.

The history file is impressive and an original RHD home market low ownership example of arguably the most desirable version of a Big Healey is rare to find. Offered with current Swansea V5C.

Reg No: FY52 XOO MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: JTFDS696X00010399

Facelifted for 2002, the sixth generation of Toyota’s legendary Hilux cemented its status as Europe’s best-selling Pick-Up. Available with a choice of different wheelbases, seating configurations and two-or four-wheel drive, those opting for the flagship Double Cab VX 4WD model enjoyed power steering, central locking, electric windows, cloth upholstery, air-conditioning and alloy wheels as standard. Powered by a 2.5 litre D-4D turbodiesel engine allied to five-speed manual transmission, the five-seater was reputedly capable of over 90mph and 33mpg. Finished in the rare and unusual, GX/VX-only colour of Orb Gold Metallic, this particular example has had just two registered keepers and covered a modest 92,000 miles from new. Responsible for selling ‘FY52 XOO’ to its first owner during his time at Toyota, the vendor found himself reunited with the Hilux last year. As well as a thorough service (circa 1,000 miles ago), his trip down memory lane saw the Pick-Up treated to new shock absorbers and a thorough underbody detail. A scarce, ‘top-of-the-line’ Hilux made doubly so by its distinctive hue, ‘FY52 XOO’ is far better preserved than most of its siblings. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, service records, book pack and current MOT certificate valid until June 2027.

Over £23,000 spent on restoration!

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: VUK 263M MOT: Exempt Chassis No: AF4SJN21192A

This extremely rare, upmarket Allegro Special is characterised by special wheel trims, a vinyl roof, lots of faux wood interior trim, a centre console with a clock, back seat armrests, thick wool carpets, and a glovebox. It was supplied new through Charles Clark & Son Ltd. of Wolverhampton on September 13th, 1978, and had just two lady owners before it was bought by our vendor in 2013, needing complete restoration after about eighteen years off the road. It was then completely restored from 2018 to 2021, with invoices totalling £23,651. The work included a full bodywork restoration and repaint with new old-stock sills fitted, a full engine overhaul, brake renovation, and axle and suspension refurbishment. It also received a new clutch, petrol tank and stainless steel exhaust. More recently, in 2025, the gearbox was reconditioned and the engine was upgraded with electronic ignition, and further works in 2026 have included an interior retrim for around £1,000 (with the original vinyl pleasingly reused), and fitment of a new steering rack. Paperwork includes invoices for the restoration and later work, period sales literature, an original driver’s handbook, tax discs from 1976 to 1995, MOTs from 1984 (18,666 miles) to 1994, the original Passport to Service, and V5C.

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: TSX 461K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 10806812010671

The 4.5-litre engined 280 SE (Type W108) typifies the resurgence of largerengined Mercedes-Benz models in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The ultraluxurious 450 SL Roadster/Coupé was the model chosen in 1971 to launch the magnificent new 4.5-litre V8 engine. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads, each with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 225bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. It helped meet the demands of the vitally important US market, and was soon outselling the 3.5-litre version. As usual, there was also an ‘SEL’ model on a longer wheelbase. Although W108 sales worldwide reached nearly 383,000, the 280 SEL 4.5 achieved fewer than 22,000, making it relatively rare. These were also the last Mercedes-Benz models with classic stacked headlamps. In current ownership since 2018, TSX 461K was imported by the vendor from the USA and benefits from a retrimmed interior (including door cards) and servicing since its arrival in the UK. The car is accompanied by a copious amount of history including documented records from its time in America, import paperwork, Swansea V5C and is said to run ‘great’!.

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: 750 XVT MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 50/1185

In good condition throughout, this Elan +2 looks to us like the ideal car with which to enjoy a few weekend driving tours while summer is in full swing. Although its early history is not known, the V5C implies that it had just one registered keeper until 2010, when it was purchased by our vendor, a serial Lotus owner. It has evidently received some considerable restoration work at some stage in its life, though it has been in intermittent use since the 1990s. The MOT record begins in the ’90s at 54,697 miles—the present reading is now just over 63,700.

The vendor has lavished money on the Elan to bring it up to an even higher standard, and recent work has included the fitment of a new boot carpet set from marque specialist Paul Matty in 2021, and a new brake servo in 2024. Still highly useable, the Elan started readily and ran well during the recent photography session, and it is offered for sale with paperwork including the V5Cs, old MOTs, tax discs, and a 2015 Club Lotus certificate valuing it at £19,500.

1986 Ferrari 328 GTS

Meticulously maintained during the vendor’s ownership

Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000*

Reg No: D732 YVT MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: ZFFWA19C000064119

This very nicely presented, thoroughly original and highly desirable pre-ABS 328 GTS has had just six registered keepers from new and has covered just a shade over 41,200 miles, so it is no wonder that it survives in such a well-preserved state. A genuine British-market car, it was sold new through Strattons (Wilmslow) Ltd. of Cheshire to W. Lomas of Ryalux Ltd. in Castleton, Lancashire, on August 1st, 1986. William Arthur Lomas was quite the prominent figure, a carpet magnate with headquarters in Rochdale but production and distribution facilities in Bury. He founded Ryalux Carpets in 1970 and, in the words of the LancashireTelegraph , “built an enviable reputation for supplying quality, wool-rich domestic carpets aimed at the mid to upper market sectors.” The firm was still making huge profits when Mr. Lomas decided to sell it for £25,000,000 in 2000.

Finished in the classic Ferrari colour scheme of Rosso Corsa with a Crema interior, the 328 was sold for the second time through marque specialist Nick Cartwright in 1988, at 18,397 miles. It was then enjoyed by its next owners up to 19,500 miles before it was placed into storage from 1994 to 1998. When it re-emerged, it was recommissioned by well-respected Ferrari specialist DK Engineering in 1999, and in 2000 ownership passed to the previous registered keeper. Our vendor purchased it from DK Engineering in 2007 and has cherished it ever since.

Impressively, the Ferrari has service history from new, and has received either a standard service or a cambelt service on an almost annual basis, except when it was in storage. There is a total record of 19 standard services and 16 cambelt services. The Ferrari specialist Hargreaves has conducted the exemplary servicing annually since 2008, alternating between standard and cambelt services, so that the most recent cambelt change was undertaken in June, 2026, at 41,215 miles. Such diligent maintenance has proved its worth—the Ferrari has passed its MOT with no advisories every year since 2012. In fact, its MOT history goes all the way back to what must have been its first test in 1990. The present MOT is fresh, and is valid until June, 2027.

The extent of this 328’s originality really needs to be seen to be believed. So much of the original equipment remains present and in good condition. This includes two keys (one of which is the rare original folding key), a toolkit in its original case complete with the rarely seen inspection light, the complete jacking kit,

the service book and manuals in their original wallet, and a tonneau cover. The original exhaust silencer is present, as is a battery cover with the correct knobs, and an Alpine stereo with the correct dashboard blanking plate in black vinyl. Further equipment includes 328 GTS floor mats, Ferrari-branded seat covers, and a full fleece-lined indoor car cover with its own bag. The paperwork file is similarly impressive, and includes not just the V5C and the original book pack, but also the original warranty card and an array of historic invoices from specialists including QV London, DK Engineering and Monza Sport.

It is our opinion that this represents a very smart and highly original 328s, and we suspect it would score very highly were it to be entered in a Ferrari Owners’ Club concours. Some would say, though, that the concours lawn is not the natural habitat for something like a Ferrari 328 GTS—not when the open road is beckoning and the soulful V8 just wants to sing…

Taking its name from a previous Maserati great, the new Ghibli debuted in 1992. Last of the Biturbo line, its muscular styling clothed an impressively rigid twodoor bodyshell. Tempered by Koni’s freshly developed electronically adjustable hydraulic damping, its fully independent suspension was allied to four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Boasting twin water-cooled IHI turbochargers and dual air-to-air intercoolers, its ‘quad-cam’ 24-valve V6 engine – available in 2.0-litre or 2.8-litre capacities – was prodigiously powerful (the larger 2790cc version producing some 284bhp and 305lbft of torque). Supplied new by Meridien Maserati in December 1997, this GT came from the factory finished in the rare combination of Verde Tundra with Nero leather. Reassuringly the original bookpack is present and a lever arch file full of service history including main dealer and marque specialist McGrath Maserati prove the previous owners wanted nothing but the best for it. It ran smoothly and sounded sweet throughout our inspection. Becoming rare to find in this condition, ‘R496 KLJ’ is a lovely opportunity to own a classic 90s Maserati. Offered for sale with a full compliment of keys, MOT until June 2027 and current V5.

It was sold new through Jack Barclay and has been extremely well-maintained across its life, with its PDI and first five services performed by Barclay up to 27,204 miles in 2004. Altogether, it has received eleven services, with later ones performed by independent garages, including two by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist N. Sandell. The most recent service was by Seaspray Motors at 52,017 miles, with the present mileage showing at just 56,000 miles from new.

Unveiled in 1965, the final MKV Alpine variant was equipped with the Rootes Group’s latest four-cylinder engine – a five-bearing crankshaft 1725cc unit rated at 92.5bhp – which proved notably more powerful and refined than its predecessors, 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.

In the same ownership for fifteen years, this Alpine benefited from a comprehensive engine overhaul in 2024 and a reconditioned overdrive gearbox and differential along with a new battery and tyres in 2025. Subject to a high quality restoration in c.2000, the vendor advises it remains in extremely fine order having been properly cared for ever since. Offered with both hard plus soft tops and tonneau cover this GT example pleasingly still retains its Walnut veneer dashboard and wood-rimmed steering wheel. Previously UK registered as URT 37F, but having resided in Jersey since 2011 the Sunbeam will need to be registered once again in the UK with HRMC and DVLA. It is understood 5% import duty will need to be paid which will be the buyer’s responsibility. Hopefully, the original registration number will be retained in the process of registering.

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1108338

This lovely Roadster—beautifully restored under the dust—started life as an American-market car which Peter Macey purchased while residing at his second home in Palm Bay, Florida. Its earliest known owner was Alexander H. Mitchell of Willoughby, Ohio, whose wife Joan inherited it after his death in 2002. She offered it for sale as a non-runner, and it was bought that same year by Mr. Macey for $17,000. Despite completing an HM Customs and Excise form for Motor Vehicles Brought Permanently into the United Kingdom under Customs Relief in 2005, it seems Mr. Macey kept the car in Florida and enjoyed using it, for he licensed it there every year between 2008 and 2014.

One way or another, the Essex was eventually brought into England, where it was placed in storage alongside Mr. Macey’s other Essexes and vintage American cars. Having now been out of use for several years, it will require recommissioning, but should be eminently show-worthy once dusted down. It is in need of registration with the DVLA, but is supplied with the Florida title and registration tickets, a copy of the Ohio title, a sale receipt from Mrs. Mitchell, and a 1929 Super-Six Instruction Book.

Reg No: JK 154 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 825402

The story goes that the young Peter Macey saw some local gypsies driving an old Essex. It piqued his curiosity, so he tracked one down in 1951. That was this very car, and it sparked a lifelong love affair with the marque which would culminate in Mr. Macey owning no fewer than ten Essexes and other vintage American cars. The British-market car was registered on March 13th, 1929, in Eastbourne and was registered to Mr. Macey in June, 1951, going to reside at the farm near Maidstone where he lived all his life. Along with the Maroon Sedan which Mr. Macey purchased in 1952, it was licensed every year up to 1963.

The Essex was restored early in his ownership, and illustrated one of the vintage car cards issued by Edito-Service SA in 1978. It remained in intermittent use through the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, with its last MOT expiring in 2003. Still in beautiful condition but pleasingly mellowed, it now requires recommissioning. It is supplied with the V5C, a V5, the 1951 buff logbook, many tax discs from the 1950s and later, assorted MOTs, a 1956 test certificate from the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation, and a 1929 Super-Six Parts List in good condition.

One of the most unassuming yet fascinating cars in the Peter Macey Collection is this British-market 1929 Erskine. Between 1927 and 1929, Erskines were sold by Studebaker (England) Ltd. Under the slogan “Insist on a Six,” the 1929 range of Sixes consisted of a 2-Door Saloon, 4-Door Regular Saloon and 4-Door Royal Saloon, plus a Weymann Saloon. Studebaker shouted that the Erskine had been driven for twenty-four hours at 54.1mph, and offered performance not surpassed by any six within £50 of its price.

However, we wonder if this 4-Door Saloon might be the only surviving British Erskine. Registered new in Aberdeenshire on February 22nd, 1929, it has an unusual radiator, being painted rather than plated, and unlike that of most other Erskines. All that’s known of its history is that in 1968 it belonged to G. McCombie of Aberdeen, but it appears not to have been on the road between then and 1983, when Mr. Macey bought it, and it has not been used since. Now offered as an extremely rare recommissioning project with great ‘oily rag’ potential, it is supplied with a green logbook, a V5 and an Erskine Six Owner’s Manual.

Although Studebaker traded in Britain for many years during the ’20s and ’30s, British-market machines are almost extinct. Up to 1927, the firm had its British headquarters on Pound Lane, Willesden, and showrooms at 117-123, Great Portland Street, but by 1928 it had moved its head office to Glasgow Terrace, Grosvenor Road, London, SW1. Buyers of a Standard Six in 1925 were enticed by the “Vibrationless engine… full size balloon tyres… hydraulic four-wheel brakes… sun-glare screen, mechanical screen wiper…” and more, with the Touring Saloon at £395 and the Coachbuilt Saloon at £520. This delightful Roadster was registered on May 23rd, 1928, and by October, 1961, it was painted Green and Black paint and belonged to Barry Edward Davie of the Old King’s Head, Ingatestone, Essex. It then spent many years off the road, but Mr. Macey had purchased and registered it by 1988. He did not use it on the road, however, so it remains for the next owner to recommission it and drive it for perhaps the first time in sixty-five years. Fully deserving of an ‘oily rag’ recommissioning, it is supplied with a V5, an old green logbook, a Standard Six Owner’s Manual, and a photograph dated 1987.

Reg No: SL 9658 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: KA2S456437

The Mini is a British style icon, epitomizing the swinging sixties and the confidence of the decade. Alec Issigonis, who had been working for Alvis, was recruited by the head of BMC Leonard Lord to design a technically advanced family car to complement their existing conventional models. The production version of the Mini was demonstrated to the press in April 1959, and by August, several thousand cars had been produced ready for dispatch to the dealers. A more powerful version, dubbed the “Cooper S”, was released in 1963, featuring a productionised version of the 1071cc Formula Junior race unit that Morris Engines had developed primarily for competition use. In a giant killing act that has gone down in motorsport history, Paddy Hopkirk famously won the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally against far more powerful cars.

In a story that will resonate with many, the vendor of this car had a Mini 850 when younger and always aspired to own a ‘Cooper S’. Seeing a restored 1964 model advertised, he bought the car but was not happy with some of the work, so he commenced what became a full strip out and respray to his own more exacting standards. It will be supplied with an extensive paperwork file of old MOTS, photographs and many receipts documenting both restorations, together with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust dating certificate. This states it was built on the 23rd June 1964 on body number A.028285, finished in its current colours of Tartan Red with a Black roof and Red and Gold/Grey interior trim. It was dispatched to McLay’s garage in Kirkintilloch with a fresh air heater, 4.5’’ wheel rims, 3.44:1 final drive ratios and a close ratio gearbox. A stunning example of the rarest iteration of the legendary Cooper S, presented in beautiful running condition.

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z2S682372

Introduced in 1999, the 996-generation of Porsche’s evergreen 911 was styled by Pinky Lai. Boasting a monocoque bodyshell that was some forty-five percent stiffer yet lighter than that of its predecessor, the newcomer also boasted improved aerodynamics and a more ergonomic interior. Perhaps best known for its switch from air- to water-cooling, the standard 996 had some well publicised engine woes. The exception to the rule was the Turbo variant which used an evolution of the Le Mans-winning (and nigh-on bombproof) Mezger flat-six. Displacing some 3.6 litres when fitted to the 996 Turbo, this fearsome powerplant developed a quoted 414bhp and 413lbft of torque. Allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, it reputedly enabled the 2+2-seater to accelerate from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and on to 189mph. With four-wheel drive, Porsche Stability Management and brutally effective four-wheel ABS disc brakes, the flagship 911 was among the very fastest `A-to-B’ cars that money could buy. An altogether more brutish looking machine than its normally aspirated siblings, the 996 Turbo sported gaping air intakes to its front bumper, bi-xenon headlights, flared rear wheel arches, 18in alloys and a jutting rear spoiler.

In current ownership since 2016 and showing just 3 former keepers, this desirable UK-supplied ‘C16’ example finished in Lapis Blue registers just c.75,200 miles from new. Subject this year to c.£4,000 of expenditure with a Porsche specialist which included a full service with new plugs plus coil packs, two new rear tyres and more. ‘RG02 LWU’ specification includes PCM, phone, cruise control, memory driver’s seat, heated seats, ruffled leather, BOSE sound system, sunroof and a stainless-steel exhaust. Increasingly collectible and an exciting proposition on the road it comes with a large collection of invoices from both Porsche and independent specialists, owner’s handbook, old MOT certificates and current V5C document.

1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior 1300

Desirable early ‘step-front’

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

121

Reg No: RHR 97H MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1292841

Supplied new by legendary gentleman racer Rob Walker’s Corsley Garage Ltd, Warminster, this early ‘step-front’ Alfa Romeo GT Junior was originally sold to Southwestern Insulation of Yeovil. Its original Service Coupon Book records servicing by Rob Walker up to September 1971, when it had covered 18,167 miles.

Little is known of the car’s history until 1981, when it was purchased by long-term owner R.J. Bowerman of Somerset from a friend of his father’s for £750. In a 2014 letter accompanying the car, Bowerman recalled initially being unsure of its colour but soon growing to love its excellent driving qualities. Minor rust repairs were carried out during his first year of ownership, with the engine found to be “fine and healthy.” He used the Alfa regularly until 2004, when it underwent a comprehensive bare-metal body restoration by respected Taunton specialist Dave Holley.

Acquired in 2014 by the late Alan Auty, the Alfa was immediately entrusted to renowned specialists Alfaholics for a comprehensive mechanical overhaul and sympathetic Fast Road upgrade. Works included a Fast Road suspension kit with Koni Sport dampers, aluminium T-bar, quick steering arms, dual-circuit pedal box, new discs and pads, replacement camshafts, cam followers and a programmable ‘123’ distributor, at a cost of over £10,900. Further maintenance by Alfaholics included carburettor work and a new starter motor, while the car was enjoyed on several regularity rallies with Mr Auty and his wife. Most recently, PC Motors of Bristol recommissioned the car with a new fuel pump and spark plugs.

Now offered for sale by Mr Auty’s family following his passing, ‘RHR 97H’ is a well-maintained, highly usable example supplied with an extensive history file, original Service Coupon Book, workshop and instruction manuals, MoT certificates and V5C.

1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: AFB 182V MOT: Exempt Chassis No: SRH0040383

Inspired, at least partially, by a new generation of more driverorientated luxury cars as typified by the BMW 7-series and Mercedes-Benz S-class, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II was announced in February, 1977. While the young German pretenders could not be viewed as direct competition (if only on cost grounds), they illustrated the increasing importance that the buying public was placing on chassis dynamics. Thus, while the new model utilised the same four-door monocoque bodyshell, mellifluous 6,750cc V8 engine and smooth-shifting GM400 series automatic gearbox as the outgoing Shadow, it gained a prominent front air dam, larger one-piece bumpers, revised front suspension geometry and, most importantly of all, power-assisted rack and pinion steering.

This Silver Shadow II is perhaps at its most elegant in this scheme of Willow Gold with Champagne upholstery. The car had only ten registered keepers up to 2025, and has covered a documented total of 60,500 miles from new. Originally supplied through Lex Mead Bristol, the Shadow survives with its original service book displaying seventeen service stamps spanning 1980 to 1997. The initial service and two subsequent services were performed by Lex Mead, with the subsequent stamps issued by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists the Bristol Motor Co. and Broughtons of Bristol.

Having achieved its 58,000th mile in 2014, the Shadow has been in continuous but very sparing use since, with a brief hiatus while it underwent a programme of improvements during 2025 with another marque specialist, the Ristes Motor Co., which cost a total of £2,200. Despite being exempt from testing since 2020, the fact that this Rolls-Royce was most recently submitted for (and passed) an MOT in 2024 is testament to the confidence the previous owner had in it. Supplied with its complete original book pack and a V5C.

1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000*

Reg No: JWE 255C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1E1279

As beautiful today as it was when it left the factory more than sixty years ago, this rare right-hand drive, home-market E-type 4.2 Roadster was built on May 25th, 1965, and was despatched on June 14th to Henlys of London, on Piccadilly. All information concerning the car’s early particulars are described on the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate included in the sale. According to the V5C, it has had only four keepers from new, which would suggest that the 52,200 miles on the odometer may be original. It was purchased by the previous owner in 2018, and he covered 1,209 miles in his ownership, kept an itemised log of maintenance and stored the car in a heated garage, prior to selling it to the Fox Collection in 2023, where it has remained on mostly static display.

The maintenance log begins in October, 2018, at 51,007 miles, when the underfloor area was Waxoyled and the car was freshly greased, before going into winter storage. After minimal mileage, in November, 2019, the Jaguar was placed back inside a humidified storage tent for winter, and in February, 2020, a leak from the fuel pump was identified, so it was immediately serviced and refitted without the leak. The oil and filter were replaced at the same time, and in April, at 51,500 miles, the brake master cylinder was discovered to be sticking, so it was removed, serviced and replaced, which was naturally followed by the supply of new brake fluid. In August, 2020, at 52,007 miles, the gearbox oil was replaced with MT90, and the differential oil was replaced with Penrite 80/90. In June, 2021, at 52,100 miles, the engine oil was renewed Halfords Classic 20/50, plus a new filter, and the front wheel bearings were serviced. Thereafter, the car remained virtually static, but nevertheless received another engine oil change in June, 2022, prior to its sale in 2023.

They, of course, were only some of the minor jobs. Other work the E-type has received in the not-too-distant past has included the reupholstering of the interior with new Black Connolly leather and Wilton carpets (Black being the original colour). The radio appears standard but has been upgraded with Bluetooth connectivity, and the original steering wheel has been replaced with a popular Moto-Lita item of smaller diameter. The E-type has been repainted at some stage and the condition of the chrome certainly suggests that it has been replated fairly

recently. “Virtually new” Pirelli P4000 Super Touring tyres were fitted at the time of the sale in 2023. The engine bay has been described as “spotless” and the engine itself as “on the button.”

Of course, having spent the last three years as a static display piece, the E-type will now require light recommissioning before it can be used on the road, but after such meticulous care we are sure that will be a very straightforward procedure. We have already seen it start, run and drive very well during our photography session. Its overall condition is outstanding and, we believe it has the potential to be a show winner, and will no doubt set a very bar for presentation at Jaguar Enthusiasts’ or Drivers’ Club events. It is supplied with the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, MOTs dating back to 2011, and the V5C.

1994 Toyota Supra Mk. IV RZ-S

Twin Turbo

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £22,000 - £28,000*

Reg No: L818 CPL MOT: August 2026

Chassis No: JT164JA8000016834

Overseen by Isao Tsuzuki, work on the fourth-generation (A80) Toyota Supra began in February, 1989. Débuting at the Chicago Motor Show some four years later, the resultant two-plus-two Coupé was a technological tour de force . Engaged in something of an ‘arms race’ with its fellow Japanese manufacturers and similarly keen to challenge the established European sports car hierarchy, Toyota created a machine which, in its ultimate twin-turbocharged guise, was very special indeed. The heart of the forced induction A80 was the mighty ‘2JZ-GTE’ straight-six DOHC 3.0-litre engine boasting a ‘closed deck’ cylinder block, forged steel crankshaft and three-layer steel cylinder head gasket, all of which meant that it was completely unstressed when developing 326bhp and 325lb. ft. of torque in European specification. So strong was the unit that tuners were able to add hundreds of extra horsepower whilst still retaining stock internals. The other boon of the ‘2JZ-GTE’ was its use of sequential turbochargers, which flattened the torque curve to such an extent that ninety percent of its peak was available from 1,300rpm to 4,500rpm. Today, we take nigh-on ‘lag-free’ forced induction for granted, but in the early 1990s it was a revelation. Nor was it just the engine which marked the flagship A80 as a stand-out design. Inspired by contemporary F1 practice, the Supra utilised a four-channel ABS braking system which enabled Car & Driver magazine to decelerate one from 70-0mph in forty-five metres (a record only surpassed by the Porsche Carrera GT hypercar in 2004). The provision of all-round independent suspension and Bilstein dampers provided ample grip, with the Toyota recording 0.98g on the skidpan. However, despite its excellence, the A80 remained something of a left-field choice in Britain, with many buyers plumping for a (slower) Porsche 911 or Ferrari 348 instead. Thus, just 623 Supras were British-supplied from 1993 to 1996, with fewer than half those thought to have survived. This rare and outstandingly well-preserved British-market Supra has had just seven keepers from new, with a long-term fourth keeper from 1999 to 2014, and a sixth keeper from 2014 to 2023. It was in 2023 that the car was purchased for the Fox Collection, where it has spent three years luxuriating on mostly static display. It was supplied new by Evans Halshaw of Brighton on June 18th, 1994, and still appears in its original colour of Red. It remains beautifully original throughout, with the interior exhibiting just the right kind of patina, and

even retains the correct original equipment such as the radio-cassette player and the factory-issued toolkit. It has clearly been well-maintained across its life, as the service book contains a total of twenty-one service stamps, including the PDI, and there are more unstamped services accounted for among the invoices. It appears that it has never required any substantial work, but we would highlight that a replacement speedometer was fitted at around 139,000 miles in 2015, causing the mileage displayed to drop by around 60,000 miles. Therefore, the most recent maintenance, which consisted of a general service including the timing belt and idler, occurred at an indicated 86,208 miles in 2023. Having been mainly a static exhibit in the Fox Collection for the past three years, the Supra will now require some recommissioning, but it should be of the most straightforward kind. We were witness to it starting readily and running and driving very well during our photography session. Supras, and especially rare specification examples, are now bona fide “Youngtimer” collectibles, and with increasingly popular events such as RADwood encouraging the following for cars of the ’80s and ’90s, their popularity shows no signs of abating. This car is provided with the previous V5C, an MOT to August, and some sales invoices.

1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £75,000 - £95,000*

Reg No: XFF 207 MOT: Exempt

125

Chassis No: 8500203

Simply a drop-dead gorgeous car from nose to tail, this 190 SL was imported into the United Kingdom from the United States of America in the early 1990s, although the speedometer, being in kilometres, indicates that it may originally have been a European-market car. It was imported very soon after having undergone a comprehensive Stateside restoration to an extremely high standard. The quality of the restoration is evident from the fact that it still appears relatively recent, even though it is more than thirty years old.

The Mercedes was registered with the DVLA in 1994, and since then it has had, quite remarkably, a grand total of three owners. It was in single ownership up to 2021, and then short-term ownership up to 2023, at which point it was acquired for the Fox Collection. Moreover, MOT records suggest that it was kept in storage for a significant part of the duration of the first British ownership, so this car really has seen very little action on the King’s highway, although from the available mileage records, it appears to have covered about 300km (approx. 186 miles) between 2018 and 2023.

This limited use followed an extensive mechanical overhaul conducted between 2015 and 2018, details of which are supported by an assortment of invoices on file. The engine was overhauled in 2015 by Sheffield Engine Services, and subject to an upgrade with twin 45 DCOE Webers. A new timing chain was purchased in 2016, and in 2018 the rear axle was substantially refurbished. The correct four-speed gearbox remains in the car.

Having sat virtually as a museum piece for more than thirty years, it will serve to give an appraisal of the 190’s general condition. The lovely pale metallic Blue paint still presents to a very high standard, and the underside of the car has been well preserved by an anti-corrosion coating. The interior was reupholstered and recarpeted in matching blues at the time of the early ’90s restoration, while the steering wheel and instruments are in lovely condition and believed to be original to the car. At the time of sale in 2023, it was remarked that: “Everything seems to work as it should, and all the switches have a nice reassuring feel to them. The matching blue hood is in lovely condition and is a more recent upgrade. It folds away with minimal effort and has a nice clear rear plastic window.”

After three years on mostly static display in the Fox Collection, the Mercedes will now require a degree of recommissioning, although it should be a very straightforward matter. Lavished with a full respray while in the collection, it is unsurprising it presents in such lovely condition, and with this, the 190 SL will always be welcome at the local car show on the village green, but why stop there? It’s common knowledge that 190 SLs make wonderful, touring-focussed sports cars with which to enjoy British B-roads and Continental autoroutes. We will leave it up to you to make your own plans. We will simply say that this represents one of the most supremely beautiful and versatile sports cars of the mid-century period, and the possibilities for enjoying it are endless. It is supplied with an assortment of invoices and the current V5C.

1972 Aston Martin V8 ‘Series II’

Entered from the Fox Collection

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000*

Reg No: FDD 300L MOT: Exempt Chassis No: V8/10612/RCA

Beautifully finished in Royal Claret metallic with a Tan leather interior, this extremely smart Series II V8 perfectly encapsulates the charms of the original ‘gentleman’s muscle car.’ It has had a total of nine keepers from new, including the long-term ownership of the fourth keeper from 1984 to 2015, and it joined the Fox Collection in 2024. Registered new in Gloucestershire, the original owner was one Louis Philippe Larth of Brimpsfield Park, near Gloucester. Mr. Larth’s name appears on the first V5, issued when he sold it in April, 1978, to Reginald Charles Rabbetts of Knightsbridge Farm, Headley, near Newbury. He remained the owner until January 8th, 1982, when Stephen Mason of south-west London took possession, and in 1984 the long-term fourth keeper entered the picture. At that stage, the V8 had covered around 93,360 miles. About 7,000 miles were covered up to 1992, and from that point onwards it covered only around 850 miles prior to being offered for sale in 2015 at 99,855 miles through All Aston Martin. Because it had seen such light use, it had not received extensive maintenance apart from a general inspection by Cambridge Classic Car in 1999 and the supply of brake calliper service parts from the Aston Workshop in 2004. Consequently, it was submitted to classic car specialist Newlands Motors for a programme of work immediately prior to the sale which cost £16,368 and involved replacing the door bottoms, wing bottoms, boot floor and other areas of bodywork, as well as an overhaul of the fuel pump. An additional £15,161 was spent with Newlands very shortly afterwards for the replacement of both brake servos. Altogether, that only accounted for about half of the £52,000 spent during 2015, also with Aston Martin specialist Chicane Classics. Other work included the construction of a new pattern-copy radiator by a specialist and a gearbox service by a transmission specialist for £786. In the new ownership, the Aston returned to Newlands for around £8,600 worth of work in 2016 and 2017, which included fitting seatbelts, replacing the engine fan, fitting a new thermostat, tidying the wiring, some exhaust work, and fitment of a new fuel sender. The Aston changed hands again during 2017, and was taken by the new owner to Chicane Classics, where £5,960 was spent on work including the fabrication of new tail trims, a new boot lid rubber seal, new front shock absorbers including the springs, and new rear springs including the metacones and spring platform rubbers. It returned to Chicane in 2020 (showing 157 miles) for another £5,000 of work, including

a ‘gold’ service, the replacement of the left-hand brake servo with a serviceexchange item, the replacement of the gearbox mounts, replacement of the front brake pads, and an overhaul of the right-hand brake calliper with new pistons and seals. Also in 2020, it received some attention to the interior and new carpets by Coverdale and London & Home Counties Upholstery. The most recent work performed on the Aston was an oil change, conducted in 2022 by Brookspeed Engineering, but since joining the Fox Collection in 2024 it has been entirely on static display, so some recommissioning will be required before use. It has never received a full restoration, but further work in recent years has included ceramic coating, rechroming, wheel refurbishment and hidden Bluetooth installation. The history file is very substantial and includes ownership records back to the first owner, MOTs dating back to 1984 at 93,358 miles, a raft of invoices, the current V5C, and the original instruction book and workshop manual.

1969/2008 Suffolk SS100

127

Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: ESK 164 MOT: June 2027 Chassis No: 1L2528BW

This particular car started life as a down-at-heel 1969 Jaguar XJ6, complete with the 4.2-litre XK engine. It was acquired by the vendor in 2007, and in 2008 the work took place which saw it transformed into the spitting image of one of the greatest sporting automobiles of the 1930s. The work cost more than £56,000, as all the invoices on file and correspondence with Suffolk Sportscars reveal, and the whole build was meticulously documented, with the vendor keeping detailed notes as it progressed. It was decided that the car should not be constrained by the rather sober prewar colour palette, hence it positively sparkles in the spectacular shade of Volkswagen Wild Cherry Red, which is handsomely complemented by a Tan leather interior. The finishing touch was the dateless registration number, which was allocated to the car in 2015, so all but the most highly trained eyes would struggle to tell this from a genuine SS100 without lifting the bonnet.

In 2013, the Suffolk was tested on a rolling road by Hi-Tech Motorsport, and despite being used sparingly, it has had a total of twelve services, the most recent performed in April, 2026, at 6,152 (post completion) miles. Its longest outing has been a tour of Spain with other SS100 owners, and maintenance has included fitment of a reconditioned four-piston brake calliper in 2020, stainless steel exhaust system, and the upgrades of a sports coil and an alternator in 2026, along with a new battery. It has been regularly MOT’d and is offered with a certificate valid until June, 2027, showing no advisories. Starting readily and running well during the recent photoshoot, it is sold with the V5C (on which the car is still registered under its donor vehicle identity but with the body type as Sports), and many invoices, notes and MOTs.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 500K Spezial-Roadster Evocation

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: UUI 4222 MOT: October 2026 Chassis No: R2216VA

Among the most stylish and technologically advanced cars of the 1930s, each Mercedes-Benz 500K Spezial Roadster took five months to build. An Art Deco masterpiece with Streamline Moderne overtones, the two-seater was penned by Hermann Ahrens and proof that Mercedes-Benz’s in-house coachbuilder, Karrosserie Sindelfingen, could hold its own against the likes of Italy’s Touring or France’s Figoni & Falaschi. With a supercharged 5-litre straight-eight engine under the bonnet and independent suspension at each corner, the Mercedes-Benz had the speed and poise to match its looks. Fearsomely expensive when new and rare as hen’s teeth, surviving 500K Spezial Roadsters can command upwards of $10 million today.

Understood to be the sole right hand drive example produced by Heritage, this fibreglass-bodied 500K evocation is powered by a 350ci 5.7-litre Chevrolet V8 driving through TH350 automatic transmission. It is believed to have been constructed in the Florida factory for an American client wishing to emigrate to Australia in 1992, hence being right hand drive. Unfortunately his plans fell through and the car was sold and subsequently UK registered in March 1995. It is built around a substantial box-section steel chassis and has Chevrolet Camaro running gear. No slouch on the road with in excess of 300bhp on tap, driver comforts are catered for by the inclusion of power windows. In current ownership since 2019, this head turning homage to the legendary 500K Roadster is now regretfully offered for sale due to health reasons with a current MOT to October 2026. The cherished registration UUI 4222 is included. Please note that the Swansea V5C will be forwarded to the buyer following the sale and will not be available for collection on the day.

1967 Jensen Interceptor I

1 of just 1,033 Vignale Mk. Is

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

129

Reg No: 9211 OI MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 115/2532

With just 1,033 Vignale-bodied Interceptor Mk. Is built, they are the rarest Interceptor ‘Mark’ and, some would say, the prettiest. Originally registered ‘UBH 6E’ and finished in Charcoal Grey with Grey trim, this car was originally sold to the prestigious dealer Charles Follett Ltd. of Berkeley Street, Mayfair, but it was redirected through Hughes of Beaconsfield Ltd. to its first private owner, wealthy Beaconsfield resident A. F. C. Harrow. He ordered it through his business Cables & Components Ltd. of Park Avenue, London NW10. Harrow had previously enjoyed a Jensen C-V8 and, since he was doing well in business, decided to upgrade to an Interceptor along with a Porsche 911S. He covered 10,000 miles in the Interceptor in 2½ years, and then it was sold on viâ Hughes to C. F. Howard & Son Ltd. of Gerrards Cross.

In 1991, it was acquired seemingly by its fourth registered keeper, who retained it until 2014, when our vendor bought it and proceeded to fully recommission it. In August that year, he took it to Riverside Engineering in Whaley Bridge, which fitted new brake discs and pads all-round, plus other parts, for just over £1,100. Around £2,800 was spent in 2018 on further chassis work, with Riverside fitting new rear springs and a new exhaust assembly in January, and new wheel bearings in April. Also in 2018, the Interceptor was spruced up cosmetically with a full repaint in the beautiful Jensen Vibrant Blue colour it is presented in today. Very recently, it has received a new, uprated radiator and an Edelbrock carburettor blueprinted to the engine which, in the vendor’s words, has “revolutionised it.” A really fine example of a ’60s grand tourer, the Interceptor is supplied with numerous invoices, copies of original factory records and correspondence, and a very desirable number plate.

1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Electric (EV Conversion)

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: WAX 105 MOT: T.B.A. Chassis No: 149662863

At first glance, this Karmann Ghia looks is nothing unusual. It’s been well-maintained, the paint is eye-catching and some natty aftermarket wheels set it off nicely. There’s a surprise, though. Gone is the famous Beetle flat-four with its distinctive patter –hiding in this car is an electric motor. This 1969 model was sold originally through Masters Ltd. in Hamilton, Bermuda, in 1970, but was imported to Britain in 1975 and registered ‘HKS 667N’. The previous owner kept the Karmann from 2010 until 2020 and, during that time, effected renovations which brought it up to its present show-car appearance. The work included repainting the body in Porsche Guards Red, fitting the chromed replica Fuchs wheels and renovating the interior in a beautiful two-tone with a Retro Radio.

In 2021, the present owner commissioned an electric conversion using Tesla battery packs and a 90kW EV Hype motor from EV Europe. The front and rear battery packs respectively contain three and four 5.3kWh Tesla Model S battery modules, which give a total of 37.1kWh and a nominal 159V, for an approximate 120 miles between charges. The original four-speed gearbox has been retained and adapted for the new power source, and can be engaged if desired. Owing to the increased power and weight resulting from the conversion, the brakes have been upgraded with independent servo systems front and rear, and the suspension has been uprated with coil-over shock absorbers. The car also benefits from four new tyres and in internal heater. The DVLA has approved the conversion. With its smooth bodywork, the Karmann Ghia was always a futuristic-looking car; with an electric motor as well, it seems almost like something from science-fiction. This car is expertly-finished and supplied with the original owner’s manual and books, the current V5C, a memory stick containing photographs of the renovation and conversion, various technical writings about the conversion, plus charging instructions and a manual for the radio.

1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II

Just 15,000 miles from new!

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000*

Reg No: 666 KVA MOT: November 2026

131

Chassis No: LRH37654

This exquisite Wraith has the most remarkable histories. It has an enviably long history of single-family ownership from new, it has an enviably long history of single-family ownership, having been gifted to the current owner by her father on her 16th birthday in 1997—we can’t help thinking she was the luckiest girl in the world! Of course, she then had to wait a year or two before she could drive it, but after she came of age the Wraith was in periodic use until 2008, by which time it had covered only around 14,850 miles. It was briefly awoken from hibernation and very lightly used during 2016 and 2017, and then placed into storage prior to emerging once more in 2024. Since then, it has covered a little over 100 miles, bringing the total to around 15,200. It remains in highly original condition, and in the wonderful period colour scheme of Ivory with Vaumol Brown leather upholstery.

Having twice been in storage for periods of about eight years or so, the Wraith has already received substantial recommissioning on two occasions, with the work in 2016 having been performed by Jack Barclay Bentley in Wandsworth at a cost of more than £10,000. It included a general service, replacement of the front brake pads, rust treatment of the driver’s floor pan, assorted electrical repairs for the lights and windows, replacement of some perished seals, replacement of the battery strap, and some light cosmetic refurbishment including coach polishing, the reapplication of the coach lines, and retrimming of the dash.

The Rolls-Royce had minimal use thereafter, and the second programme of recommissioning was performed in 2024 by Gordon Dale Enterprises Ltd., a highly respected Rolls-Royce & Bentley specialist. The first job performed was the replacement of the fuel pumps with a second-hand assembly, followed by a “general overall inspection,” which cost £962. It was followed by an overhaul of the nearside front hub assembly, the repair of the screenwasher, and the cleaning of the steering rack, at a cost of £482. At the end of the year, Gordon Dale was responsible for removing and refitting the speedometer after it had been sent away for specialist repair, at a cost of £444. Most recently, in November, 2025, Gordon Dale performed some pre-MOT checks, replaced the battery and undertook a repair of the central locking, the work coming to a total of £550, so that total expenditure since May, 2024, has reached £2,438. After the checks, it

was MOTed and passed with no advisories, so that the present certificate is valid until November, 2026. Having been kept generally out of the public eye for so long, we think it is high time this Wraith made an entry onto the show and rally circuit. Years of careful storage have preserved it in excellent condition, and the recent recommissioning means that it should be ready to cover some proper mileage. Wraiths have been extremely rare cars since the time when they were still in production, so it is sure to be a head-turner and a welcome sight at any Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club event, whether it be an informal picnic or a more formal concours. Moreover, there are endless possibilities for professional use, with such an elegant limousine sure to be in demand for weddings, events and filming. No doubt the best way to enjoy it, though, is just with a relaxing drive along the open road. It is supplied with the V5C (showing four former keepers due to several family members and a business name), assorted invoices and recent MOTs.

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: HDN 55X MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 10702522003559

Introduced in March 1980, the 380 SLC utilised an extended wheelbase version of its R107 convertible sibling’s platform complete with all-round independent coilsprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering. A refined grand tourer, the four-seater’s rear windows housed louvred sail panels which helped disguise its additional length. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 3.8-litre SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 204bhp. Reputedly capable of over 125mph, it remained in production until September 1981 by which time 3,789 are thought to have been made. Finished in Silver Blue Metallic complemented to a Blue Velour interior this UK supplied example was well specified from new with limited slip differential, rear seat bench, electric sunroof, cruise control, central looking, electric windows, alloy wheels and fire extinguisher.

Displaying a credible 68,471 recorded miles with 6 former keepers, this SLC was subject to a gearbox overhaul in 2016. Offered from long term previous ownership during which time it has been maintained as needed it comes with MercedesBenz invoices back to the 1990s, MOT certificates back to 1994 at 53,777 miles and a current V5C document.

Desirable manual ‘home market’ example

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: OTB 782K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: LD11939

Introduced in June, 1970, the Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible touring car to rival the likes of the Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and servo-backed front disc and rear drum brakes. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and soft-tops. In current ownership since 2007, this home market manual / overdrive example was treated to a full body restoration by Yorkshire Triumph in 2007 including a bare metal respray, the white bodywork being described as remaining in excellent condition. Parts fitted since 2005 include a new clutch kit, slave and master cylinders, new hood (at time of body restoration), full stainless steel exhaust, oil pressure gauge, re-conditioned radiator, 16” Kenlowe fan, Lumenition electronic ignition, new fuel pump, new twin choke cable and new battery in 2024. The car has always been dry garaged since purchase, serviced annually, and has always passed its MOT test. Said to be ‘on the button’, it is accompanied by an original Triumph Service Passport from new to 22,336 miles, service and MOT paperwork from the 1980s, Haynes manual and original Owners Handbook.

1960 Land Rover Series II 88

No Reserve*

Reg No: XSK 218 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 141003226

A sympathetic update of its much-loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. Featuring sill panels and a rounded wing/belt line, the newcomer’s sleeker sheet metal was the work of David Bache and clothed an improved chassis. Thus, as well as better rear wheel articulation and sharper steering, the Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox (complete with synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears). Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel four-cylinder engines, the Land Rover could be had in 88-inch or 109-inch wheelbase guises (though, the SWB model made do with a petrol 2-litre unit until September 1958). A popular model, the Series II accounted for some 62,000 sales in its first two years of production.

First registered on 18th May 1960 this very original example has been off the road for ten years and comes to us with long term ownership since 2012. Featuring the desirable 2.25-litre petrol engine, XSK 218 is a non-runner in need of restoration, it does however, possess a certain appeal. Offered with current Swansea V5.

1961 Rover P4 100

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: 192 ENP MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 650103663

This beautifully-kept Rover 100 is now in need of a new owner who will care for it as well as previous owners have done. Indeed, it is understood that the car received a very comprehensive overhaul circa 2018, receiving a respray in the present two-tone green, and it is visibly apparent that the interior has been refurbished to a high standard in the not-too-distant past. The Rover was in longterm ownership from 2003 to 2017, and the next owner kept it until 2024, when it entered the present family. In addition to the paint and upholstery, the chrome and the lovely raised-letter number plates are in very nice condition, and the carpets also appear fairly new. The engine appears clean and well-kept and, all in all, this represents a supremely smart and usable example of the much-loved ‘Auntie’ Rover, in desirable six-cylinder guise. The history file that accompanies the car includes over 50 receipts for parts purchased (going back to 1983), notes on revocations completed, 19 plagues from shows / events the car has been to, multiple old MOT certificates, 23 old tax discs (going back to 1972), 3x Rover lubrication charts, notes and photos. It is sold with the present V5C.

1967 MG B GT

Estimate: £12,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: KAM 66F MOT: May 2027

Chassis No: GHD-3/130453

According to its accompanying BMIHT certificate, this late MkI GT was despatched to The Bath Garages Ltd of Somerset on August 11th 1967 complete with a heater, overdrive and wire wheels. Road registered as ‘KAM 66F’, it changed hands several times thereafter before being bought by Jack Burkitt in 1989. Treated to a photographically documented ‘bare metal’ restoration from December 2004 to September 2005 that was subsequently documented in the May, June and July 2006 issues of ‘Enjoying MG’ magazine, the GT was uprated with an unleaded 1950cc Ivor Searle engine, electronic ignition, oil cooler, Webasto sunroof, heated rear screen, Spax shock absorbers, copper brake pipes and halogen headlights etc. Much of the work was carried out by Westgate Classics. Converted to 12 volt, negative earth electrics, it is understood to have covered some 22,000 miles since its rejuvenation was completed. Courtesy of the current vendor new carburettors and Pirelli tyres have kept this GT in fine fettle and Mk1 versions have become increasingly sought after in recent years. Offered for sale at a fraction of what a similar ‘bare metal’ restoration would cost today, ‘KAM 66F’ is accompanied by a Swansea V5C, large history file and current MOT to May 2027.

1985 Ford Capri 2.0 Laser

No Reserve*

Reg No: C833 NJH MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECFP62044

Introduced in November 1984, the special edition Capri Laser featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, tailgate-mounted spoiler, leather-trimmed gear lever / steering wheel, body coloured grille / door mirrors, RS alloys, unique graphics, black-painted bumpers and Truro cloth upholstery. Available with a choice of 1.6-litre or 2-litre SOHC four-cylinder engines allied to either five-speed manual or automatic transmission, the larger capacity variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9.6 seconds and 113mph. A run out model for the range, the very last Capri Laser rolled off the production line at Ford’s Cologne, West Germany plant during November 1986.

Finished in the very attractive shade of Ford Paris Blue (a cost option when new) over an iconic grey ‘Laser’ interior, C833 NJH has covered less than 50 miles since the completion of a comprehensive engine restoration. Believed to be just 1 of 549 manual transmission examples left on UK roads today, this up and coming classic is offered with a current MOT to July 2026 and Swansea V5C document.

1987 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

139

Reg No: 3524 BP MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WDB190R1210108504731

The Type 190 was mainly based on the well-tried 180 model. It had a more powerful 75hp engine, however. The 1.9-litre unit was originally carried over from the 190 SL, albeit detuned, whilst the brakes were adjusted to match performance with the Type 190 featuring ribbed “turbo-cooled” brake drums as well as broader brake shoes.

Supplied new to Mrs Rogerson of Billingshurst, West Sussex in June 1958, this rare UK-supplied RHD ‘Ponton’ is said to be in good order all around. In current longterm ownership since June 1994 when the vendor acquired it from his local classic car dealership, H. Horsefield & Son who specialised in Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Having a love for antiquities he decided he had to have it and has covered a mere c.4,100 miles during his ownership. The vendor had the car painted in 2007 in the gun metal grey in which it was already presented and there are many invoices on file for servicing and works carried out including the respray and fitment of a stainless exhaust. Since works completed in 2023 only 52 miles have been covered. Supplied with history file, sundry invoices, 1958 buff logbook and current V5C.

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: E775 NJD MOT: June 2027 Chassis No: SCAZN00A8JCH22179

Silver Spur was the moniker adopted for LWB versions of the Silver Spirit and, courtesy of its finely-tuned hydraulic self-levelling suspension, was said to provide the best roadholding ever offered by the marque at that time.

Supplied new by Mann Egerton Ltd, London, on the 7th December 1987 in Larkspur Blue Metallic with Magnolia hide upholstery piped in dark blue, E775 NJD displays a credible c.90,000 miles from new. Service records show that the car was previously serviced with the supplying agent Mann Egerton in Kings Cross, London, at 3,050, 5,778, 10,461 and 13,454 up to November 1989 and specialists thereafter, until October 1996 (at 60,262 miles). The subject of over £4,000 expenditure since 2016, with £3,597 spent with JK Engineering on supplying and fitting spark plugs, brake pump seals/ ’o’ rings, a new battery and new expansion valve. The work included attention to the paintwork. In 2018, the underside was Waxoyled and £411 spent with Rutland Autos on the brakes in 2019. The wood veneers have also been renewed and the car benefits from two new rear suspension spheres. In good order and driving nicely on inspection it is offered with history file, book pack, service book and V5C.

1963 Studebaker Avanti

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection

No Reserve*

Chassis No: 17748

Sturdy pick-ups like the Champ were ideally suited to working on the rugged terrain of South Africa, so a significant number was manufactured in right-hand drive form to meet the needs of South African agriculture and industry, and, of course, the dry climate was congenial to their survival. Few, if any, Champs were exported new to Britain, hence when Mr. Macey wanted to add one to his collection, he ended up choosing this South African survivor with the 259ci V8. He appears to have imported it in 1995, and registered it with the DVLA the following year. He kept it in occasional use until 2010, after which it was placed into dry storage in one of his barns.

The Stude has evidently benefited from some restoration work in the past, if only a repaint and interior retrim. For the most part, though, it appears very original and is in lovely cosmetic order, with a pleasing patina. We do not think it will take too much recommissioning to put it back on the road. It is supplied with the V5C and a historic V5, a 1962 Studebaker 7E Series Trucks Operator’s Guide, several old MOTs, and a 2000-01 tax disc.

Reg No: 3 GYP MOT: Exempt Chassis No: R3791

Appearing in its unrestored ‘oily rag’ splendour, and painted in what appears to be the original Avanti Gray, this wonderful Avanti was brought into Britain by Mr. Macey in 1972. It appears to have been on the road by 1977 and registered with the excellent number ‘3 GYP’, suggestive of an original 1963 import. Thereafter, it was kept in intermittent use until 2007, when Mr. Macey placed it into dry storage in one of his barns. We note the logbook records the year of first registration as 1997, which seems to be because Mr. Macey registered the Avanti as ‘YKE 428A’ in 1996 prior to reallocating ‘3 GYP’ to it. For a short period from 2001, it returned to America for Mr. Macey to enjoy while residing at his second home in Palm Bay, Florida.

A fantastic recommissioning project which may be treated to further restoration or preserved as an ‘oily rag’, this Avanti is supplied with the V5C, some import paperwork from 1972, a copy of Mr. Macey’s Florida title, several MOT certificates dating back to 1977, and some registration retention documents. It will be well worth reviving, as few cars will turn heads quite like this one. Also included is a set of star-shaped Avanti hubcaps.

1929 Essex Super Six Coupé

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection

No Reserve*

Reg No: YC 6888

Chassis No: 1001257

This rhd Essex is particularly interesting because it was supplied to Australia and bodied locally—note that the waistline beading differs from Essex’s work, and is attractively decorated with diamonds. It was supplied through the Smith Motor Coy. of Godfrey Street, Port Adelaide, with the “Supreme” body by Smith & Waddington Ltd. of Sydney. An accompanying plaque reveals that it survived in Australia until 1962, when it was shipped to America by W. H. Cheatham of Lynchburg, Virginia, (who also owned the 1927 Buick in the Macey Collection) and restored in 1963. It was later brought into Britain by Jack Henry Chalcroft of Bodmin, Cornwall, who sold it to Mr. Macey for £900 in 1976. Chalcroft was also the owner of a British-market 1931 Super-Six Coupé (chassis 1234163) and the ‘RT 7611’ registration number was taken from that car. Mr. Macey started driving the Phaeton immediately, and kept it on the road until 2003, after which he placed it into one of his barns. Now looking extremely characterful with its jaunty 1960s restoration and heavy patina, it is supplied with the current V5C, an old V5, the receipt from Mr. Chalcroft, 1234163’s buff logbook, and an original 1929 Super-Six Instruction Book and Parts List.

MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1082889

This lovely Essex Super Six Coupé was one of many produced in right-hand drive for the British market through Hudson-Essex’s assembly plant in Brentford, Middlesex. Mr. Macey purchased it from one J. Winchcombe of Devizes for £4,000 in April, 1980. Mr. Winchcombe is not listed on the V5 as a previous owner, which makes us think the car had fallen out of use for several years, prompting a light restoration in the early 1980s. If we are correct, it must have been finished by July, 1981, when he put the Coupé through an MOT. Thereafter, he enjoyed driving it until 1993, after which point he placed it into dry storage in one of his barns, where it nestled alongside his other cherished Essexes. It was shown on occasion, including at the Brands Hatch Festival of Yesteryear.

Being well-stored, the car has survived in good order, though it will obviously require recommissioning. An ideal car for vintage events, and especially the Rally of the Giants, it is sold with two historic V5s, MOT certificates issued between 1981 and 1993, the 1980 sales receipt from Mr. Winchcombe, and an original 1929 Essex Super-Six Instruction Book in good condition.

144 1929 Essex Challenger Super Six Speedabout

Entered from the Peter Macey Collection

No Reserve*

Reg No: PM 553 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1039453

The flagship of the Essex range, and one of the crown jewels of the Peter Macey Collection, was the Super Six Speedabout, a boat-tailed two-seater sports model with a rumble seat, rakishly bodied by the prestigious Amesbury, Massachusetts, firm of Biddle & Smart, which had a close relationship with Hudson but is perhaps better known for its work with Springfield Rolls-Royces. It was more than just a special body—the engine was tuned to produce 55bhp at 3,600rpm, and the gearbox had special ratios and an overdrive which helped it to a top speed of around 80mph. It weighed about 2,500lbs., and was appropriately costly at $965, compared against $850 for a standard Roadster. While rare in period, survivors are extremely scarce nowadays. When another 1929 Speedabout was sold in 2005, it was claimed that only five were made and four survived, but we have not been able to verify that.

The previous owners of this Speedabout were John C. and Larry J. Lamas of Easton, Pennsylvania, who had taken possession of it by 1979. Considering Mr. Macey was on a mission to acquire every body style of 1929 Essex, the Speedabout was the Holy Grail, and he did not hesitate about paying $22,000 when the Lamases offered it for sale as a non-runner in 2005. Mr. Macey did not register it until 2010, and after putting it on the road for just one year, he placed it in storage alongside the rest of his vintage American car collection.

Displaying a well-preserved 1970s restoration, it will require some recommissioning, and then it could be a real head-turner at rallies and concours. It is supplied with the V5C, import, customs and registration papers, the Pennsylvania title, and a 1929 Super Six Instruction Book in good condition.

1956 Cadillac Sedan de Ville

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: 612 YUM MOT: July 2027 Chassis No: 5662122743

Exuding the glamour of what was perhaps the greatest era for American automobiles, this Cadillac presents in beautiful condition, having been in the single ownership of a keen American car enthusiast for most of its time in Great Britain. It is understood that it was first restored in America in the 1980s, and this was followed by a second programme of refurbishment, including an engine overhaul, in the early 2000s. It has subsequently been preserved and refreshed as necessary. Following its importation, it was registered with the DVLA in May, 2012, and sold after a month to its second registered keeper. The third keeper enjoyed it from March, 2014, to June, 2015, and then passed it on to the fourth keeper, who has cared for it ever since and invested in it considerably.

Most significantly, the work has included a respray circa 2018 which saw the Cadillac finished in its present eye-catching twotone scheme of metallic Blue with a white roof. Other major work performed in our vendor’s ownership has included the retrimming of the boot and detailing of the engine bay. Mechanical maintenance has included the fitment of a new power steering pump in 2015, and a new fuel sender unit in 2016. Boasting a new full exhaust system and five new whitewall tyres, the Cadillac has been widely admired at car shows and has always impressed itself upon the vendor as a reliable and dependable machine, so much so that it will be driven forty-five miles to the sale, with the current mileage showing as some c.76,600 miles.

The American car scene in the United Kingdom remains as strong as ever, and there will be opportunities for showing the Cadillac off most weekends from April to September. A truly beautiful and nostalgic piece of Americana, it is supplied with the current V5C and old restoration photographs.

1933 Alvis Speed 20 SA Sports Tourer

Bodied by Cross & Ellis

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: RV 3774

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 10603

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.” 10603 comes with little record of ownership prior to 1978, when it belonged to Mr. Alan Geggus of Romford, who had it for twenty years. However, we do know that it had been owned by an Alvis Owners Club member in the Northern Section during the 1950s, as there are photographs available from their 1956 Wolds Rally. 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

Reg No: YNC 565S MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 62.GB.6632

The Citroën GS is a highly innovative, technologically advanced mid-sized family car launched by the French manufacturer Citroën at the 1970 Paris Motor Show. Positioned to bridge the massive gap between the utilitarian 2CV and the ultraluxurious DS, it became an instant commercial and critical triumph, winning the prestigious European Car of the Year award in 1971.

Purchased new from Hills Picadilly Ltd in Manchester, the first owner was a festidious Citroen enthusiast, who rustproofed the car just six days and 102 miles later. Believed to be 1 of just 8 Club variants of the GS still on the UK roads and displaying a genuine c.16,000 miles from new with just three former keepers, this French classic is finished in a Citroen classic Bleu Myosotis with a matching cloth interior.

1970 Morris Minor Two-Door

Estimate: £5,000 - £7,000*

Reg No: VFL 109H MOT: T.B.A. Chassis No: A2S5-1250651

Few cars capture the charm of post-war Britain quite like the Morris Minor. As quintessentially British as the London bus or the red telephone box, the Minor became one of the nation’s best-loved classics, with more than 1.6 million built during its 23-year production run. Designed by Alec Issigonis, later famed for the Mini, it debuted at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and quickly won praise for its advanced engineering, practicality and engaging driving manners. Continuous development culminated in the Minor 1000, powered by the lively 1098cc A-Series engine, helping the model become the first British car to surpass one million built.

Offered here is a charming 1970 Morris Minor 1000 two-door Saloon finished in ever-popular Almond Green with a cream leather interior. Tasteful details include a wooden steering wheel and gear knob, upgraded Minilite-style alloy wheels, disc brakes and servo assistance, making it an even more enjoyable and confidence-inspiring classic to drive. The vendor describes the car as an honest, dependable example that starts readily and drives exceptionally well. Understood to be supplied with a fresh MOT, this is a delightful Morris Minor ready to be driven, admired and enjoyed by its next custodian.

1965 Jaguar MKII Saloon

1970 Fiat 500 F

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: DOD 528C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 118962DN

The MKII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek shape clothed an evolution of Jaguar’s first monocoque design. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MKII was quick to dominate saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leafsprung Salisbury rear axle and servo-assisted disc brakes, the range-topping 3.8 boasted a 126mph top speed.

Originally a 2.4 when it left Coventry in 1965 this MKII has been subtly upgraded over the years to it’s current and desirable configuration of an LC equipped 3.8 along with a 4 speed manual overdrive gearbox. To cope with the extra performance one of the previous owners wisely invested in a set of Coopercraft brakes giving braking performance to match the straight line speed. Subject to an interior trim and exterior paint restoration in recent years this classic looking Jaguar is ready to use. A light rattle has developed within the engine, believed by the vendor to be little ends as oil pressure remained solid during our inspection. Offered with old MOT’s, invoices and current V5.

Estimate: £5,000 - £7,000*

A masterpiece of minimalist motoring, the ‘Nuova’ 500 was launched in 1957 to replace the much loved 500 ‘Topolino’. Not so much styled as designed around the mechanicals and space for 2 adults and 2 (very small!) children, the tiny body gave the 500 huge character and was an instant success at home and abroad. Powered by a miniscule twin-cylinder 499cc air cooled engine and with four speed crash gearbox the 500 nevertheless featured all independent suspension, in later years a heater, headlamp flasher and full length sunroof as standard when many more expensive cars listed these as options. Progressively refined, though never substantially altered throughout an 18 year production run which lasted until 1975, even a Giardiniera estate was produced which was surprisingly spacious due to the rear mounted engine being laid on its side. Thought to have been supplied new in Italy and to have remained there until its importation to the UK during 2017, this delightful Fiat 500 F has been the subject of much restoration work. Consigned from a deceased estate, the late owner’s family advise he carried out various improvements including having the interior retrimmed in blue/grey with white piping. Offered with old Italian registration document and current V5C.

Estimate: £15,000 - £17,000*

Reg No: EBV 273W MOT: July 2027

Chassis No: 10702422004525

Sharing the same basic (R107) platform architecture as its convertible sibling, the Mercedes-Benz 450SLC Fixed Head coupe was introduced in 1972. A full four-seater, the model’s stretched wheelbase was disguised by various ingenious styling cues such as the louvred sail panels that adorned its rear three-quarter windows. Equipped with all round coil-sprung independent suspension, power steering and four wheel disc brakes, it proved a comfortable and refined grand tourer. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 4520cc SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 217bhp and 265lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of over 130mph in standard tune, Mercedes’ flagship coupe enjoyed a highly successful second career as a rally car including two Bandama wins and a second place on the East African Safari. Displaying some 63,000 miles from new and finished in Silverblau with grey velour interior this SLC has had just four former keepers from new. Previously a category D insurance write off following a coming together with a stag (the deer variant not a Triumph!) it was subsequently repaired by the vendor who was a military engineer. Offered for sale with a history file and current Swansea V5C, it will be driven to the sale venue from Blackpool.

Reg No: F477 MCF MOT: January 2027 Chassis No: ZLA831AB000448199

In October 1985 Lancia unveiled a new version of the HF, renamed Delta HF turbo. It featured bolder styling and more equipment to differentiate it from other Deltas: red “HF turbo” scripts on the grille, side skirts and rear hatch, a three-spoke steering wheel, dual wing mirrors, two-colour pinstripe along the mid-bodyside character line and Pirelli P6 tyres on 14-inch Cromodora alloys with 8-hole design. In 1986 a facelift to the Delta GT and HF turbo gave Weber IAW integrated electronic ignition and fuel injection to become the Delta GT i.e. and Delta HF turbo i.e., with 108 PS and 140 PS respectively.

This extremely rare RHD example has been fitted with a Hormann body kit from new. Remarkably rust free and displaying a genuine c.73,000 miles, it presents in fabulous condition. With only 4 registered keepers, it has been garage stored since purchase by the vendor and enjoyed as a frequent weekend car during nicer months. Described as driving well, it comes with stamped service book and owners handbook accompanied by the original wallet.

1969 Daimler V8 250

1954 MG TF 1500

153

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: MWM 437H MOT: Exempt Chassis No: P1K5595BW

Built from 1962 to 1969, the Daimler 2½-litre V8 (V8 250 from 1967) was the first model produced by the marque on a Jaguar platform, and the last Daimler to feature its own engine. Although derived from the Mk II Jaguar, the fluted grille and luxurious interior gave it an air of exclusivity. Its name was drawn from its Edward Turner-designed engine, a lightweight 2,548cc V8 shared with the SP250 sports car. Production continued until 1969 by which time some 17,620 had been made, making it the best-selling car in Daimler’s history.

Supplied by R. Bamber & Co of Southport on August 15th 1969, as confirmed by its accompanying Daimler Owner’s Service Policy, this V8 250 is finished in the attractive colour scheme of navy blue over tan upholstery. Accompanying receipts confirm numerous works carried out since 2014 including engine mounts, new steering wheel, front seat covers, steering box overhaul, replacement track rods and fan replacement. Over £12,000 has been spent with Jaguar specialists Roach Classics between 2014 and 2017, only c.6,000 miles ago. Supplied with a large history file including MOTs from 1978, invoices back to the 1990s and Swansea V5C, it also comes with 3 boxes of spare parts.

Chassis No: HDC467902

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.

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: RND 840J MOT: T.B.A. Chassis No: 7100000567L

Finished in Calypso Red, this was one of the first S 130s off the line. Sold new through Mike Spence Ltd., it has covered only around 4,000 miles following a 1995 body-off restoration, which involved a new galvanised chassis and stainless steel subframes. The body was repainted, the interior was reupholstered, and many of the mechanical parts were overhauled and powder-coated. After restoration, it remained in single ownership until 2013. In the recent years before our vendor, a serial Lotus owner, bought it in 2024, when it benefited from even further expenditure, including a CV joint driveshaft conversion, new top ball joints and steering rack gaiters, a new fuel pump body, heater fan motor, throttle and bonnet cables, brake servo and master cylinder, a Powerlite starter motor, and a halogen headlamp kit. In September, 2023, the Lotus received attention from Chris Foulds Motors, which included setting up the Weber carburettors and installing new hydraulic pipes, and in 2025 new wheels from Classic Team Lotus were fitted. The vendor has always kept the Lotus in a dehumidified garage. Supplied with a large history file, it includes the V5C, assorted invoices and MOTs, Lotus correspondence and Classic Certificate, restoration photos, plus original sales literature, owner’s manual, service book and workshop manual.

1950 Citroën Light 15 Traction Avant

Desirable Slough-built, RHD example

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: NKX 446 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 134160

This charming and enormously characterful Light 15 is offered for sale having seemingly been in preservation since 1973. With the buff logbook, ownership history is traceable to 1959, when it belonged to Phillip Cooper of Chalfont St. Peter, Buckinghamshire. In 2004, the Light 15 underwent substantial improvement, being entrusted to Traction Renaissance Services of Gloucestershire for various works including a reconditioned water pump, new rear engine mount, new clutch, and a stainless steel exhaust. Then in 2005, a full engine overhaul was performed, again by Traction Renaissance Services, with less than 6,000 miles covered to date. Following a carburettor overhaul in 2018, our vendor bought the Traction in 2023 and in 2024 submitted it for £4,835 worth of improvements courtesy of Citroën Classics. This included a fluid and ignition service with a new coil, greasing of the chassis, a brake service with new cylinders, some suspension refurbishment which involved adjusting the castor angles and fitting new bronze bushes in the top suspension arms, and fitting LED bulbs in all the lights. Offered for sale with its original upholstery, displaying patina which cannot be replicated, plus the buff logbook, V5C, old invoices and MOTs, and an original instruction book, repair manual and spares catalogue.

1984 Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: A744 YCY MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WF0LXXGKALEA04884

Launched in September 1980, the XR3 was an instant success. Intended to rival the Golf GTi, its monocoque bodyshell (with ‘aerodeck’ hatchback) boasted all round independent suspension and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1597cc OHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission (fivespeed from February 1982 onwards), it proved quick but unruly. Ford charged its Special Vehicle Engineering department with taming the handling. Begun in October 1981 and overseen by Ron Mansfield, the project bore fruit in just fifteen months. Unveiled in January 1983 the revised model, featuring Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, was credited with developing 105bhp with a top speed of 120mph and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. A cult car among ‘boy racers’ of all ages, it is prized to this day. First owned in the Netherlands for 37 years and with just 3 former keepers, A744 YCY registers c.125,000 kilometres (c.77,500 miles) and benefits from the 5-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Sunburst Red with grey sports interior it was recently fitted with a new soft-top and will be serviced prior to sale. On the button and driving well it is testament to the care shown to keep it in such fine condition.

Single family ownership from new

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

Reg No: F828 FVO MOT: October 2026 Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DA150822

Perhaps the perfect modern-classic for summer, with the colour scheme of Navy Blue with a Cream leather interior invoking thoughts of sun and sea, this XJ-S Convertible has excellent provenance. It has been in the care of just two members of the same family from new, with the vendor’s grandfather having purchased it from Mann Egerton Jaguar in Nottingham, and the original dealer plates testify to that. He kept it until 2018, since when it has been in the vendor’s care. Prior to 2018, it had been off the road for at least twelve years, but the vendor recommissioned and has been using it lightly ever since, primarily for fair-weather cruising, hence the mileage stands at only 66,300 miles from new.

In terms of its condition, the original interior has lightly patinated leather, and the exterior remains highly presentable albeit with “some minor æsthetic repairs required,” though we note the hood seems to be in good condition. The vendor advises that the engine is running well, and the fact that the Jaguar has an MOT valid until October, 2026, indicates that it is ready for immediate enjoyment. A V5C is supplied.

Chassis No: WDB2304582F157649

The R230 was introduced in 2001 and continued the evolution of SL with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a ‘Vario Roof’ retractable hardtop, ‘Keyless Go’ keyless entry and smart key, and ‘Sensotronic Brake Control’ (SBC) electro-hydraulic power brake system. In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and new front end evoking the classic 300 SL with large grille, prominent three-pointed star and twin ‘power domes’ on the bonnet. It also featured new headlights, giving the car the modern look it enjoys with an optional ‘Intelligent Light System’ and new speed sensitive steering system.

Finished in the seldom seen combination of Thulite red over Berry leather, this SL350 has been enjoyed by just 2 keepers from new, remaining in the current long-term ownership since 2011. A well optioned car, benefiting from heated memory seats, air scarf, Bluetooth and parking sensors, it registers c.78,000 miles with 15 services recorded (all services with main dealer or SPR Auto’s specialist Mercedes garage) and comes with a current MOT to June 2027 and Swansea V5C.

Introduced in 1984, the Saab 900 Turbo 16 benefited from a new sixteen-valve cylinder head that boosted power and torque to 175bhp and 201lbft respectively. Sharing the same basic underpinnings as its lesser siblings, it featured coil-sprung double-wishbone independent front suspension, a Watts-linkage located beam rear axle (complete with Panhard rod), four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Reputedly capable of over 130mph and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds, the T16 has gone on to attract something of a cult following since ceasing production in 1993.

Finished in Black with Beige cloth upholstery, this particular example was first registered in Stoke-on-Trent on November 1st 1985 (or so its ‘C220 UVT’ number plate would imply). A three-door, hatchback variant, it has been in the current (third) ownership since 1992. Barn stored for much of that time, the Saab is now in need of restoration. Appearing to be substantially complete, the 900 Turbo 16 has the makings of an interesting project. The recorded mileage stands at 160,700 which is not out of the way for one of these Swedish road rockets.

Estimate: £16,000 - £18,000*

Chassis No: SALLMAMA34A144459

The launch of the third-generation Range Rover (L322) coincided with an asset scramble for the leftovers of the Rover Group. Development of the L322, however, had already been largely shipped out to Munich, but the L322’s slick and clean modern design came from Solihull. Geoff Upex had become Rover’s design chief and concept director in 1995 and it was his vision for the L322 that beat a proposition from BMW’s chief designer, Chris Bangle. Monocoque construction transformed the L322’s on-road manners. The TD6 diesel engine was more efficient and cleaner than the larger petrol engines that dominated earlier models and offered much lower running costs, a greater range between refuels and unparalleled reliability. The Vogue trim was the flagship specification L322, elevating the vehicle’s luxury quotient with a plethora of premium features and introduced several exclusive enhancements over base and HSE trims.

With 1 owner from new and just c.68,300 miles, this Vogue V8 is finished attractively in Bonatti grey over grey leather, both of which present extremely well with little sign of wear. An excellent example of the famed L322, it is supplied with a fresh MOT, a V5C showing no former keepers and service history.

Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque’s first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A blend of muscularity and elegance, the lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel. Equipped with sophisticated independent suspension and ventilated ABS disc brakes, it proved an accomplished transcontinental express. Unveiled for the 2005 model-year, Mulliner Driving Specification boasted 20-inch 7-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and diamond quilted upholstery / door cards etc. Finished in Breeze Metallic with Magnolia leather upholstery and Birds Eye Maple veneers, this Continental GT has covered just c.27,000 miles from new with 2 former keepers recorded. Main dealer serviced up until 2021 and looked after by marque specialists since, the 2+2-seater remains in excellent condition throughout owing to its low mileage. Benefiting from 4 new Pirelli tyres and new batteries within in the last 12 months it comes with full book pack, service history, invoices and current V5C.

Reg No: XGJ 942W MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 23601747B

A sympathetic update of the Series I, the Series II debuted in April, 1958. Featuring sill panels and rounded belt line, the sleeker sheet metal was the work of David Bache over an improved chassis. Thus, as well as better rear wheel articulation and sharper steering, the Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox with synchromesh on third and fourth. Available with a choice of 2¼-litre petrol or twolitre diesel engines, the Series II could be had with 88in. or 109in. wheelbase. Its popularity resulted in 62,000 sales in its first two years of production. Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from improved cooling and the arrival of a 2¼-litre diesel engine. Export models had headlamps repositioned in the front wings for 1968 with domestic models gaining the same revision in 1969. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Land Rover ever.

In active service with 29 Commando Regiment when new this Land Rover later transferred to use by HM coastguard. Fitted with the desirable 2¼-litre petrol engine it is believed to have covered only 14,000 miles from new. Offered with Swansea V5C.

Reg No: TMC 85F MOT: Exempt Chassis No: FD28046

A riposte to the diminutive BMC Spridget duo, the Triumph Spitfire was launched in 1962. Based around a truncated Herald chassis, it was equipped with all-round independent suspension (double wishbone front / swing-axle rear), disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Styled by Michelotti, its wonderfully sleek two-door roadster bodyshell featured a clam-shell bonnet and decent boot. Evolved through five guises over the course of its eighteen-year production run, the MK3 variant arrived in January 1967. Fitted with an enlarged 1296cc OHV four-cylinder engine, it proved the fastest Spitfire yet. Visually distinguished by its front grille-bisecting bumper (a sop to US safety legislation), the newcomer also sported a wooden dashboard and one-piece convertible hood.

A home market RHD example, TMC 85F has been the beneficiary of a recent refresh by our vendor, a time served automotive engineer and former staff member of the Practical Classics restoration team who has restored many historic cars in his time. Photographs and full details of this refresh are included in the history file. A usable example riding on wire wheels that comes with a current V5C document.

At a cost of £33,500 new, the Can-Am Spyder is a rare sight on UK roads. It features a single rear driving wheel with two front wheels for steering, similar in layout to a snowmobile using an ATV-like chassis. The engine is supplied by Can-Am’s sister company Rotax, a 1000cc V-twin with a 5-speed gearbox. In the UK, you can ride a Spyder with a full car driving licence (Category B) or a full motorcycle licence if you are over 21 years old. This 2010 example is the RT LTD model, a more touring focused version with panniers and a top box giving plenty of storage space. Can-Am loaded the design up with some clever safety technology including traction control, anti-lock brakes and Dynamic Power Steering, making it handle more like a sports car than a motorcycle. A unique vehicle that gives you the thrill of riding a motorcycle, but with more comfort, weather protection and carrying space. Showing just 22,000 miles, it has a current MOT to January 2027 and will be supplied with Sat Nav, Optimate charger, tank bag, receipts for service work carried out and a current V5C.

A sympathetic update of its much-loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. The Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox. Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel four-cylinder engines, the Land Rover could be had in 88-inch or 109-inch wheelbase guises (though, the SWB model made do with a petrol 2-litre unit until September 1958). Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system and the arrival of a 2.25-litre diesel engine. Export models had their headlamps repositioned in the front wings for 1968 with domestic Landies gaining the same revised visage the following year. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Series Land Rover ever made.

This Series IIA comes from a 16 year ownership period where it was used by the family for everything that families do, including Highland fishing trips!

The second-generation Jaguar XK range was styled by Ian Callum deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches. It remained in production until 2014. With only c.66,000 miles recorded, just 3 former keepers and in single ownership since 2013, this XK is finished in an attractive combination of Vapour Grey over Ivory leather with 20 inch ‘Senta’ alloy wheels. The exterior shows minor aged related marks but the body has escaped the troublesome aluminium oxidation as found on many of these models now approaching 20 years old. Garage stored when not in use, it features keyless entry and start, heated electric memory seats, rear parking sensors and cruise control. Powered by Jaguar’s renowned 4.2-litre AJV8 producing c.300bhp, 0 to 60mph comes in a shade over 6 seconds and it sounds amazing whilst doing so. Freshly serviced and MOT’d with no advisories in readiness for sale, we are advised the car was serviced regularly with Jaguar up until around 2018, however, the service book is not with the vehicle although we do have an invoice on file for a service and aircon re-gas in June 2026.

Powered by a Cosworth BDA-inspired 129bhp 1.6-litre four with dizzying 7,700rpm redline, the original MR2 utilised a 5-speed box and could sprint to 60mph in 8.5 seconds with a 120mph top speed. Weighing just 1,070kg it had perfect weight distribution with ride and handling honed by Lotus (aided by ex-F1 and development driver Dan Gurney). The race car feel continued with a short-throw gearchange, razor-sharp throttle control and immediate response to steering input. The result was a blisteringly intense driving experience instantly familiar to a Porsche 911 or Ferrari F355 driver – yet at a fraction of the price. Good ones are increasingly collectable today.

Supplied by J.B. Husselbee of Stourbridge in May 1989, this MR2 was subsequently sold through Pinkstones Toyota Stoke on Trent and has seemingly spent 20 years in storage with an MOT on file in 1996 at just over 18,000 miles.

Launched in 1963, the Jaguar S-type was marketed as more of an ‘executive’ car than its MKII sibling. Boasting notably superior ride and handling characteristics thanks to the adoption of independent rear suspension, it also enjoyed a more spacious interior complete with walnut centre console. Visually distinguished by its elongated boot, flatter roofline and hooded headlamps, the model was powered by a choice of 3.4litre (210bhp) or 3.8litre (220bhp) DOHC straight-six engines allied to either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission.

The Land Rover Series III was a masterful facelift overseen by Range Rover designer David Bache of a product that continued to sell well internationally, despite increasingly tough opposition from a number of rivals, most notably Toyota. Series III improvements included the headlamps being moved to the front wings and a stylised plastic radiator grille.

Subject to a body off 6 year restoration this Marine blue over Limestone Series lll is a credit to the vendor. A Richards 88” replacement chassis was sourced complete with a bolt on gearbox cross member. The gearbox/engine mounts were replaced, along with new shock absorber bushes, exhaust mounts as well as the all important bulkhead. Modern touches to improve usability include Haystee power steering, Zeus engineering front and rear disc brake conversion and for those cold mornings, an upgraded Spal blower, clutch and amp.

Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche’s iconic 911 incorporated notable technological enhancements, including a lighter and stiffer bodyshell, improved suspension and brakes, upgraded four-valve cylinder heads, and enhanced HVAC system. In terms of design, the 997 took a classical approach, combining timeless styling elements with modern aesthetics. At launch, the 997 was available in Carrera or Carrera S variants. The Carrera featured a 3.6-litre engine producing 321bhp and 273 lb-ft of torque, mated to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission. With impressive performance, including 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 178mph top speed, it offered a thrilling driving experience. Furthermore, superior build quality, refined aesthetics, and agile nature made it a desirable choice, making well-preserved examples increasingly sought after by collectors. Registering c.101,000 miles from new and fitted with the desirable manual gearbox this example starts and idles well, but a suspected brake vacuum problem means it is not currently roadworthy. However, it should not take too much time or effort to get it back on the road.

Following numerous delays, the XJ40 launched in October 1986 to replace Jaguar’s ageing Series III. It boasted all-round independent suspension, powerassisted rack and pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes and generous levels of sound deadening. It proved a credible alternative to Mercedes-Benz and BMW being well received by the motoring press and was initially available with a choice of two variants of the straight-six AJ6 powerplant - the 2.9-litre SOHC unit (a derivative of Jaguar’s legendary V12) or the 3.6-litre DOHC engine. The former produced 165bhp and 176 lb ft of torque and the latter gave 221bhp and 248 lb ft of torque.

Introduced in 1965, the MG B GT was a more comfortable and versatile proposition than its roadster sister. With a top speed of over 100mph courtesy of its 1798cc B-series engine and a capable chassis featuring independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and front disc and rear drum brakes, the enclosed two-plus-two merited the old MG marketing slogan ‘Safety Fast’. Although acceleration of the GT was slightly slower than that of the roadster, owing to its increased weight, top speed improved by 5 mph to 105 mph because of better aerodynamics. US exports ceased in 1974 but production in the UK continued until 1980.

One of just 1,285 MG B GTs fitted with the Borg-Warner automatic transmission option from new, GPN 348L is finished in it’s factory colour scheme of white bodywork over a black leather interior and rides on Rostyle wheels.

Launched alongside the rest of the Escort MkIII range in September 1980, the XR3 was an instant success (accounting for c.11,000 sales during the following year). Intended to rival Volkswagen’s Golf GTi, its monocoque bodyshell (with ‘aerodeck’ hatchback) boasted all round independent suspension (Macpherson strut front / trailing-arm rear) and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1597cc OHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission (five-speed from February 1982 onwards), it proved quick but unruly. Conscious that the planned introduction of fuel injection would bring more speed, Ford charged its SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) department with taming the wayward handling. Unveiled in January 1983, the revised model featured Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. Credited with developing 105bhp and 101lbft of torque, the Fast Ford was reputedly capable of 120mph and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. Built in Saarlouis (Germany), it boasted a more comfortable ride as well as better road manners. A cult car among ‘boy racers’ of all ages, it is still prized to this day.

Introduced at the 2003 Frankfurt Show, the fifth-generation (M139) Quattroporte was styled by Ken Okuyama of Pininfarina whose credits include the Honda NSX and Ferrari Enzo. More driver orientated than a Bentley Flying Spur or Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Maserati had a firmer ride and, in early cars at least, a ‘Duo Select’ paddle-shift transmission that was not at its best in fully automatic mode. Powered by a Ferrari-derived 4.2-litre ‘quad cam’ V8 developing 395bhp/333lbft and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and 171mph, the Quattroporte featured a truly sumptuous interior and soundtrack to match. For the money there are very few cars that can imbue occupants with the same sense of occasion as a M139. Finished in Grigio Granito Metallic with cream and black leather interior and carbon fibre dashboard panelling, this GT Sport rides on 20-inch alloys and features the mesh grille as per GT Sport specification. A very well looked after example with outstanding service history, it displays c.81,000 miles from new. Offered with original owner’s wallet, bookpack, service record and tool-kit, it will be driven over 150 miles to the sale and the cherished registration’M8 OPV’ is included.

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: NK54 DCX MOT: July 2027 Chassis No: SCBCE63WX5C025661

Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque’s first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel. Equipped with sophisticated independent suspension and ventilated ABS disc brakes, it proved an accomplished transcontinental express. Unveiled for the 2005 model-year, the Mulliner Driving Specification boasted 20-inch 7-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and diamond quilted upholstery / door cards etc.

Finished in metallic grey with a black leather interior and fitted with the twin turbo 6.0 W12 powerplant, this example has been the beneficiary of over £17,000 spent since 2020 for servicing, parts and works completed. Currently registering c.113,000 miles, it is accompanied by a large history file which includes numerous invoices from main dealers and specialists, book pack and V5C.

1976 MG B GT

Chassis No: SAJAC51M58XJ33223

Launched in 2001, the X-Type was Jaguar’s first small executive car since the 1960s. Manufactured and marketed until 2009 in saloon and estate form (the first Jaguar estate in series production), the X-type introduced the marque’s first diesel engine, first four-cylinder engine and first front-wheel drive configuration. At launch, Autocar called the X-Type “the most important Jaguar ever”.

Finished in stunning Emerald Fire over Barley leather which both present extremely well for a Jaguar of this era, the car’s condition is no doubt thanks to having just 4 former keepers and c.38,000 miles from new. The interior appears well looked after and even the headlining has been replaced, the replacement being a great match for the original colour and material that Jaguar used. Even the dealer fitted Jaguar mud flaps are present and appear in good order. In current ownership since 2018 it ran smoothly when inspected. Works on file include rear shocks at 37,069 miles, front discs and pads in March 2024, a full service in September 2022, September 2023 and February 2025 along with droplinks at 37,629 miles.

Offered with book pack, 2 keys, sundry invoices, MOT’s, current MOT to October 2026 and Swansea V5C.

Reg No: RAC 903R MOT: August 2026

Chassis No: GHD5412417G

Introduced in 1965, the MGB GT was a more comfortable and versatile proposition than its roadster sister. With a top speed of over 100mph courtesy of its 1798cc B-series engine and a capable chassis featuring independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and front disc and rear drum brakes, the enclosed two-plus-two merited the old MG marketing slogan ‘Safety Fast’.

A home market RHD car with overdrive finished in Primrose with ‘deck chair’ upholstery, this B GT ran nicely during inspection and currently registers some c.70,000 miles. The beneficiary of recent attention to the paintwork, we understand the vendor will tidy the engine bay and present the car as best as can be in time for the sale. Offered at no reserve with history file, current MOT to August 2026 and Swansea V5C.

2002 Bentley Arnage Red Label

1966 MG B Roadster

179

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

Reg No: YC51 GGJ MOT: None Chassis No: SCBLC31E72CH08124

This eye-catching Fireglow Red Bentley, with a Magnolia hide interior, has an excellent specification and a tremendous history file. Desirable fittings including burr walnut trim, Wilton carpets with overmats, power folding door mirrors and a GPS navigation system. The Arnage has been in single ownership since 2003, with only two registered keepers previously. The current owner purchased it for £87,995 from JCT600 Leeds and has been meticulous with his maintenance, making sure the Bentley received its annual service almost every year without fail (it is a twenty-four-year-old car with twenty-four service stamps). The first three services (2002-2004) were performed by JCT600 Leeds, and the next four (2004-2008) by Bentley Birmingham. The six services between 2009 and 2014 were performed by marque specialist Exclusive Cars. Another specialist, Paul Mackley, performed the 2015 service, and three of the subsequent eight services have been by Finsbury Jaguar, including the most recent in 2025 at 158,101 miles. The long MOT record can be traced back to the Bentley’s first test in 2005 at 32,000 miles. The invoices run back to 2004, and it has benefited from £9,000 of expenditure since 2016 alone, including new rear brake pads in 2024. The V5C and service book are supplied.

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

Reg No: GWD 398D MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GHN371388

To look at it, you really would not think that this MGB had been shut away under lock and key for forty-five years, but the vendor has recently overseen a comprehensive bodywork restoration and repaint. Believed to have been supplied new in Warwickshire—the ‘WD’ number plate is a Warwickshire code—it was placed into storage in 1980 and only emerged very recently, with the restoration undertaken since. We believe the car’s colour to be Iris Blue, which was one of the first colours offered for the B and undoubtedly one of the loveliest. It has a distinct “spring and summer” feel, not that we mean to give the impression that this MG couldn’t be enjoyed in autumn and winter as well; it is truly an allyear-rounder, thanks to the presence of a Black hardtop, a Blue soft-top, and a new tonneau cover. It’s not just a looker, either. The vendor tells us that it runs and drives beautifully, and we can believe it. We’ve had a tip-off that August and September are going to be sunshine, and this MG could be the best way to enjoy it.

1925 Renault Type NN Torpédo

1976 Daimler DS 420 Limousine

181

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: SV 9360 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: NN53111

This delightful Gallic light car was discovered on a farm near Paris in 1977, though the supplier’s plaque on the dash suggests it was originally sold through the garage of Henry Gabourial of St. Étienne de Fougères in Lot et Garonne, south-western France. It was imported into Britain on July 14th, 1978, and then restored to its present attractive condition, the work reaching completion in late 1979. Over a period of forty-seven years, the Renault was cherished in single ownership until, sadly, the owner passed away. While he kept it regularly serviced when it was in use, it has been garage-stored for a few years, so it may require some light recommissioning. However, as soon as it was removed from storage, it was filled up with premium fuel, some fresh coolant was poured into the radiator, and it is said that “it started readily and now runs well.” The present condition of the car is testament to the high quality of the older restoration, with the paint and upholstery still in very good order, and the polished timber panelling lends the interior a charmingly rustic touch. We can think of nothing better for enjoying the VSCC, especially Light Car & Edwardian events.

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1M3326

An imposing-looking executive limousine, Daimler’s DS420 served as an official state car in many countries - not least for the House of Windsor. It also found favour with numerous embassies, local authorities, funeral parlours and up-market hotels (for example, the Inter-Continental in Hong Kong alone is said to have purchased 22 DS420s over the years). It was based on a lengthened version of the Jaguar 420G platform. Understood to have been used by the Governor of Barbados, actually on the island in Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, it is believed that this example was used by Her Majesty The Queen in 1977 for her Silver Jubilee tour visit to the island. Accompanied with NOVA registration, the DS420 had been in Florida prior to the UK. A previous owner was a DS420 enthusiast and owners club member that had 5 other show winning DS420s. It was this owner that retro-fitted a c.50k mile Jaguar XJS 4.0 litre, 6-cylinder fuel-injected engine, auto column-shift transmission, plus rack and pinion steering. Some 15 years ago, the DS420 benefited from a Grey leather interior with Blue piping. Fitted with dual air conditioning for comfort, this example is ideal for the UK, as it is a right-hand drive despite having been overseas.

1966 Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Ice Cream Van

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

183

Reg No: HRL 492D MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 236082995

Imported from the USA in 2009, this Volkswagen with a difference was restored and converted into an ice cream van by Whitby Morrison, described by Auto Express as “the world’s leading ice cream van manufacturer.” The present owners purchased it in 2022 for their “Ice Cream Dub” business, through which the van became a major drawer at weddings and other events. The Volkswagen is equipped with large freezers and a new compressor so that it can offer four to six choices of ice cream, along with cupboards for sugar cones, tubs, napkins, sprinkles and sauces. The interior provides space for two serving staff. It has received much recent attention from Type 2 Detectives, including overhauling the steering, gearbox, upgrading to disc brakes, upgrading the suspension, and a pearlescent respray, with invoices on file since 2022 for just under £16,000. It is said to be capable of silent operation for over fifteen hours without a power connection, and the vendors report 68 per cent. gross profit margins and proven weekly turnover potential of £1,000-2,000 (seasonal). It drives well, but is supplied with a new twin-axle car trailer with a powered winch and integrated ramps. Of course, the van could also be quite easily converted back to its original use and be used again for many happy holiday excursions!

Reg No: AVM 65 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 300895

Undeniably one of the rarest machines from Jaguar’s history available on the market today, chassis 300895 is purported to have been first registered as ‘AVM 65’ during 1934. Little is known of its early life. The green continuation logbook records that it was in the ownership of a Mr Lansley of Umberleigh from 1966. Little is known of it during the following two decades, but in 1988, the late owner, Mr Kane, purchased it from a dealer in London in a derelict state. Mr Kane evidently had good intentions, as several photographs that he took document the stripping down of the car to the bare chassis. There is much correspondence on file between him and the renowned restorers, A.B. Price to suggest that he was considering them for a new body and re-enamelling of the chassis, however they appear to have only got as far as restoring the radiator shell. It is understood that Mr Kane lost enthusiasm for the project, and it has remained in its disassembled state, with Mr Kane passing away in 2024. It is supplied with many boxes of parts and is largely believed to be complete, and it is supplied with the current V5C.

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

1.3 All relevant matters pertaining to the Lot such as a financial encumbrance, serious accident damage or other factors affecting value which are known to the Seller must be stated on the Entry Form. If a sale is lost because of the failure of the Seller to disclose to the Auctioneer all

information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Lot, the Auctioneer will charge and the Seller must pay the stated rates (both to Seller and Buyer) plus VAT.

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

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

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

2.3 The Seller is wholly responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any judgments or opinions expressed in, the catalogue description of each Lot entered by him, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description. Whether the description has been prepared by the Auctioneer or the Seller, a copy of the typed text will be provided to the Seller within a reasonable time prior to the Auction, and unless the Seller reacts with comments or changes prior to the Auction, the Auctioneer may treat that description as accepted by the Seller.

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

3.2 In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot, the Auctioneer reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and

if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith. There will be a charge of £75 plus VAT for this service.

3.3 Each Lot, in the condition as described on the Entry Form, and with all keys, spare or extra items and documents shall be delivered to the Premises at the expense of the Seller. The Seller of a Lot not held by the Auctioneer at the Premises or under its control warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that the Lot will be made available and in a deliverable state at the time stated by the Auctioneer.

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

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

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

4.3 Where no Reserve has been placed on the Lot the Auctioneer shall in no way be liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below the lowest estimated selling price. In any event, any written or oral estimate of likely selling price given by the Auctioneer is an expression of opinion only and may not be relied upon by the Seller nor give rise to any claim.

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

4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer

may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.

5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:-

(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none;

(b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none,

(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.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER

12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary.

12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s

Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal.

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

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

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

13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to 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.

GENERAL CONDITIONS
