Warranty

H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore, we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description. This is the reason for our very specific terms as to roadworthiness (Condition 19.1) and absence of warranties (Condition 12.1), which intending purchasers should read carefully.

Commission / Telephone Bids

We will make reasonable efforts to execute commission and telephone bids when instructed provided they are received by 5pm the day before the Sale. Lot(s) will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Where more than one commission bid is submitted at the same winning amount, the commission bid submitted to the Auctioneer first will be the winning bid. We reserve the right to request a refundable deposit of approximately 10% of the intended bid amount.

Racing Cars & Documentation

Buyers are reminded that the presence of an old HVIF (FIA papers) or other documentation does not constitute a ‘promise’ on behalf of the MSA or other issuing authority that they will be re-issued on demand. A car’s application for a Historic Technical Passport will be subject to the prevailing regulation in Appendix K and can be reviewed, much the same way Veteran Cars can be re-dated, as new information comes to light. The Issuing Authority can refuse to issue new papers. Any prospective purchaser should check the position of the Lot prior to bidding.

Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates

When mention is made of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates in this catalogue it should be borne in mind that the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain does from time to time review cars already dated and, in some instances, where fresh evidence becomes available, alter the date. Whilst the Club makes every effort to ensure accuracy, the date shown on the Dating Plate or Dating Certificate cannot be guaranteed as correct and intending purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the date of the car.

Export Licence / Dates

Export licences may be required for any lot manufactured or produced 50 years or more prior to the date of export from the

U.K. It is the responsibility of the buyer to obtain the licence and correct documentation prior to the exportation of the lot.

PLEASE NOTE: We have been advised that vehicles registered on, and imported from, the Isle of Man are not subject to Import Duty. Nor is a NOVA application required for their re-registration in the United Kingdom.

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.

1992 Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI

No Reserve*

Reg No: J679 TVC MOT: May 2023

Chassis No: VF320CB6224831477

Introduced in 1984, the Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the best ‘hot hatches’ ever made. Based around a lightweight three-door monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer was equipped with allround independent suspension (McPherson strut front / trailing arm rear), disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Initially credited with developing 104bhp and 97lbft of torque, its predominantly alloy SOHC 1580cc engine was notably revvy and eager. Receiving a new cylinder head for the 1987 model year which boosted outputs to 113bhp and 99lbft of torque, the four-cylinder unit was allied to five-speed manual transmission. Despite impressive performance figures (0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and 121mph), it was the model’s handling that won over the contemporary motoring press. Weighing in at just 880kg, the 205 1.6 GTI possessed a nimbleness and delicacy of feel sadly lacking from its modern equivalents and indeed is considered by many to offer a purer driving experience than its heavier albeit faster 1.9 sibling.

Finished in Peugeot’s Cherry Red, complemented to a Black cloth interior ‘J679 TVC’ displays 98,500 miles, has had just 2 former keepers from new. A non-sunroof example this 1.6 GTI still presents in factory specification, with correct seats and original 14” wheels (the iconic 14” ‘pepperpot’ rather than 15” were supplied on the 1.6) and there is even the original Peugeot/ Clarion radio cassette that was offered from new. A full size spare alloy wheel is also present. In need of some recommissioning after a period of storage, the Peugeot is offered from a deceased estate. Included in the sale is the original owner’s wallet and handbook plus the V5C document and a current MOT certificate into May 2023.

1966 MG B Roadster

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: FNC 994D MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN388253

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.

Despatched from the MG factory on the 4th of May 1966, ‘FNC 944D’ was supplied new via dealers Joseph Cockshoot & Co. of Manchester. Presented in the handsome and original colour combination of Old English White with Red interior upholstery, chassis number GHN388253 was specified with ‘disc’ wheels, a heater, pack-away hood and antiroll bar from new. Acquired by the vendor in 1982, having had just two previous owners from new, the MG had just 54,000 miles on the odometer at the time of his acquisition. Treated to a two-year restoration, the vendor then proceeded to use and enjoy the MG, covering some 13,000 miles over the next ten years.

Noticing some bodywork defects in the early 1990s, the vendor then began a comprehensive restoration, being eventually completed in 2005. Used sparingly (alongside the vendors other classic) since the restoration’s conclusion, a mere 1,000 miles approximately have been covered in the subsequent years. Starting readily with aid from a hi-torque starter motor and running well during our recent photography session, ‘FNC 944D’ is accompanied by a history file that contains ownership records, a large collection of invoices, numerous MOT certificates dating back to the early 1980s, previous tax discs, a BMIHT heritage certificate, and a current V5C document.

1966 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 Saloon

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: TAR 394D MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1B58843DN

Introduced in 1963, the Jaguar S-Type was intended to bridge the gap between the company’s existing MkII and MkX models. Boasting a similar visage to the former and an adapted version of the latter’s independent rear suspension, the newcomer also featured a higher-geared Burman power steering set up and an updated heating and ventilation system. The more sumptuous interior included a MkX style walnut fascia and wider front seats etc.

According to the DVLA ownership trace on file, this range-topping 3.8 litre manual/ overdrive example was supplied new to a farming family, J. Pimblett & Sons, and issued with the Hertfordshire registration number

‘TAR 394D’ on 2nd November 1966. Remaining in the same county until being bought by John Clark Esq. of Bedfordshire during 1994, the Jaguar is understood to have been extensively restored some four years later including a complete repaint, re-trim and mechanical fettling (the DVLA were notified of a colour change in 1998). Forming part of two private collections since 2000, the S-Type underwent a degree of recommissioning upon entering the current ownership during January 2017 with attention being paid to its fuel/ ignition systems, suspension and brakes (the latter being uprated with Coopercraft front discs). Subsequently entrusted to Trevor Farrington Ltd for work to its propshaft and gearbox mount in August 2019, the Sports Saloon has covered a mere 1,100 miles over the past seven years; the odometer currently showing an unwarranted 86,000 miles.

Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, ‘TAR 394D’ still catches the eye approximately twenty-five years after its renovation was completed. There are some localised imperfections to the British Racing Green paintwork which have apparently gotten no worse during the seller’s tenure, while the Suede Green leather upholstery, matching carpets and refinished wood veneers remain suitably inviting. Better to drive and more commodious than a MkII, this appealing S-Type is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, DVLA ownership trace and assorted bills/ invoices.

1951 Lagonda 2.6 Litre Saloon

No Reserve*

Reg No: NFM 619 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: LAG50281

This Lagonda 2.6 litre, finished in Turquoise with Grey leather, appears to have resided in the Manchester region since its first ownership in the possession of Mr G. Davies Esq. of Denton, Manchester. Indeed, there is a ‘Some Particulars of the Lagonda Club’ period booklet on file with the first owner’s name upon the cover. There is an invoice letter to ‘Mr G Davies’ of Denton, from Macklen Motor Bodies of Manchester in October of 1966. They provided and fitted a replacement rear axle, a second-hand battery, brake fluid and gear oil.

Being offered now, from long-term ownership in the Stockport area, likely from the late 1960s/early 1970s, there is a tax disc in the window from October 1974, evidencing the Lagonda hasn’t been used for some 50 years. At some point in its life, the gearbox has been converted from a column change to a floor-change 4-speed gearbox. Today, the car’s engine is dismantled and consists of parts, with just the main block of the Lagonda’s 6-cylinder engine in situ. The parts appear to consist of the engine and drive-train components that have previously been removed, they seem to include a flywheel, a cylinder head, gearbox, steering rack, manifolds carburettor parts, dynamos, starter motors, hub caps, brake shoes, drums, wheel trim rings etc.

Various paperwork is offered with the car: 1983 correspondence from the Department of Transport regarding a new style document to replace the old VE60 logbook; Cheshire County Council correspondence from 1974 referring to vehicle excise license; 1970s MOT documents; motor insurance correspondence from 1973 and 1974. Pages from The Motor from 1949 - a road test of the Drophead version. The Lagonda is offered with a V5C that was issued in 2005.

1967 MG B GT

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: KAM 66F MOT: August 2023

Chassis No: GHD-3/130453

Introduced in October 1965, the GT version of MG’s established B sportscar was styled by Pininfarina. A handsome, 2+2-seater Fastback, it boasted the same peppy performance and responsive handling as its Roadster sibling.

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust 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’ the following month (a number plate which has recently been valued at over £5,000), the MG changed hands several times thereafter before being bought by Jack Burkitt in 1989, who nicknamed it ‘Kamilla’. An enthusiastic owner, Mr Burkitt drove the 2+2-seater all over the UK as well as enjoying various European sorties. 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 also 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 with parts supplied via the MG Owners’ Club and MGB Hive. Converted to 12 volt, negative earth electrics, the MG is understood to have covered some 20,000 miles since its rejuvenation was completed.

Purchased from Mr Burkitt by Alan Foxley in 2007 who in turn sold it to the vendor two years ago, ‘KAM 66F’ remains notably presentable. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, it has been taken to various classic car shows and regularly MOT tested during the current ownership. Representing the purest form of the GT, 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 V5C Registration Document, large history file and MOT certificate valid until August 2023.

2003 Land Rover Defender

90 TD5

Low mileage example

Estimate: £16,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: PY03 KVZ MOT: October 2023

Chassis No: SALLDVA573A661879

The now iconic Land Rover was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production of the traditional Defender only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 Defender vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheeldrive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/diesel engine and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Manufactured in 2003, the Land Rover offered was supplied new via Lloyd Motors Land Rover, being registered new to the 15th of August. Fitted with the 2.5-litre TD5 engine, the Defender is finished in Dark Blue with Black vinyl interior upholstery and is in 90 configurations with a Pickup rear body. Entering into current registered ownership in 2021, the Defender has just three former keepers. Benefitting from a new engine, fitted by the supplying dealer, Lloyd Motors Land Rover, in 2006, at just 16,811 miles. Having now covered just 63,600 miles from new (equating to only 46,800 miles on the new engine), the Defender was upgraded with Britpart air intake and twoinch lift kit in 2018 by Land Rover specialists, GW Motors of Atherstone.

Benefitting from some £2,500 worth of improvements in 2020, the Defender received new injectors and a harness by Fultons Land Rovers, with Simon Huntington Land Rover providing a new fuel pressure regulator and steering drop arm. ‘PY03 KVZ’ boasts eight service records, across the accompanying service book and invoices, with many completed by main dealers. The history file further comprises the original bookpack in the Land Rover wallet (with handbook and aforementioned stamped service book), a collection of previous invoices, several MOT certificates and a current V5C document.

1929 Rolls-Royce 20hp

Sedanca De Ville

Coachwork by Windovers

Estimate: £38,000 - £42,000*

Reg No: UL 2631 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GLN62

Unveiled in 1922, the 20hp was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow – a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129 inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted allwheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph.

Delivered new to Windovers Ltd on the 29th January 1929, and specified with raked steering column, standard levers and nickel fittings, ‘GLN62’ was fitted with elegant and rakish Sedanca De Ville coachwork – it arrived with its first custodian S.F.C. Allen Esq (of Buckingham Gate, London, just a month later). Not much is known of its early life, however, a continuation folding logbook issued in March 1962 shows a change of ownership to George Arthur Griffin Esq in 1967. A wealthy Shropshire-born entrepreneur and former racing team boss whose ‘Dart Spring Company’ produced and sold more than 200,000 springs each and every day. A prolific collector of pre-war cars; a biography of Griffin and photograph of ‘UL 2631’ features in Peter Hugo’s 1973 title – ‘Private Motor Car Collections of Great Britain’ in which describes the car as being “completely original throughout”.

In more recent times, the car has been maintained meticulously and invoices dating back to the 1980s are included within the large history file – previous keepers even retaining expired tax disks and MOT certificates. Specified from new with some extremely rare fittings, the 20hp still wears its unusual Stephen Grebel headlights with dipping mechanism. Admired by the rich and famous; Hollywood movie-star Sylvester ‘Rocky’ Stallone chose this actual car to deliver him to Blenheim Palace for his wedding ceremony, on the occasion of his marriage to Jennifer Flavin in 1997. The event was of course well-documented and a photograph appeared on the front cover of ‘The Sun’ newspaper, a copy of which is included in the history file.

Passing into its current ownership in October 2014 (via Ghost Motor Works of Kent); the car has since been treated to more than £17,000 of expenditure which included an engine rebuild by McPheat Automotive and reupholstery of the back seat by Loungy Upholstery Ltd. Offered with a comprehensive history file, comprising a copy of the original construction and test records, continuation folding log book, invoices dating back to the 1980s and a period instruction book.

1967 Ford Lotus Cortina

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000*

Reg No: PDA 888F MOT: February 2024

Chassis No: BA91GT34321

Introduced in March 1967, the Ford Lotus Cortina MkII (officially named the Ford Lotus Cortina Twin Cam) shared much of the same highperformance DNA as its illustrious MkI predecessor. Available in a range of colours (unlike its predecessor), the newcomer sported a distinctive black front grille, 5.5J x 13 wheels and Lotus badging to each rear wing. Fitted with a more powerful version (109bhp) of the 1558cc Lotus ‘TwinCam’ engine that had hitherto been optional on the Elan and MkI, the MkII also benefited from a revised 3.77:1 final drive ratio and new remotecontrol gearchange.

An early production Series 2 Cortina, chassis number BA91GT34321 was manufactured in 1967 and supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered on the 12th of September 1967. Little is known of the car’s early history, until the Cortina was purchased by the vendor in 2019 from Lotus Cortina specialists Lotus Outlaws, being informed that they had unearthed the fast Ford from a barn following some twentyyears of storage. Having searched for a Lotus Cortina, he purchased this example due to being notably complete and embarked on providing ‘PDA 888F’ with a comprehensive restoration. Completely stripped down, the bodyshell was sandblasted, new metalwork grafted in as required, and the shell prepared and painted in the iconic colour scheme of Ermine White with Sherwood Green stripe.

Meanwhile, the engine was completely overhauled with a skimmed head, new timing chain and uprated fast road cam, with the gearbox, axles, and differential were all fully renovated also. With the reconditioned running gear fitted to the Cortina, a new braking system and suspension were provided, with a complete stainless exhaust system. The original wheels were powder-coated and refurbished, with the interior completely renewed in Black vinyl. Sensibly upgraded further with electronic ignition, ‘PDA 888F’ is now offered as a notably nicely presented Lotus Cortina Mk2 and is accompanied by an original handbook, a large collection of restoration photographs, and a current V5C document, as well as the original air box.

1986 Lotus Excel

No Reserve* Reg No: C580 HKP MOT: February 2024

Chassis No: SCC089912FHD11769

This particular Lotus Excel, presented in Glacier Blue Metallic with Blue half leather/velour trim benefits from a desirable factory specification including power steering, half leather and Speedline wheels. ‘C580 HKP’ was manufactured on 25th of January 1985, and delivered on the 3rd of July. Having been in the hands of its first owner for two years, the car was sold by Malcolm Waite LTD in 1988 to the previous owner, a Mr Weeble. Mr Weeble would own the car for a staggering 31 years until 2019. The car would be looked after initially by Crouch’s Garage Ltd until 1991, and from 1991, apart from two invoices for an exhaust from P.D Gough & Associate, all works were undertaken exclusively by B & D Specialist Cars, with invoices present. In total, on file, there are invoices totalling well in excess of £28,000.

After having been sold to a dealer in 2019, ‘C580 KHP’ was purchased by its current owner in February 2021. Since, the car has been looked after by Maidstone Sports Cars. Having been used and enjoyed thoroughly, the car has now covered 170,457 miles; ticking over 100,000 in 1997 and is offered once more to its lucky new owner as the vendor is scaling down his collection.

With one of the best history files we have seen, there is a rather long list of accompanying documents. Included with the vehicle is the Lotus Certificate of Vehicle Provenance, a Lotus brochure, a receipt of sale from Malcolm Waite Ltd with an accompanying letter, insurance checklist and pre-sales inspection checklist. In addition, in the Malcolm Waite wallet, the Excel owner’s handbook and two Breakdown Insurance booklets are present; all three are fully completed with service stamps (36 in total). Furthermore, there are MOT certificates nearly every year from 1997 through to current, a comprehensive collection of previous invoices totalling in excess of £28,000, further technical data sheets and sundry documents and finally the V5C document which displays 5 former keepers.

1949 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Park Ward Saloon

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: JM 8001 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: WCB38

Delivered on the 3rd of August 1948, the Silver Wraith chassis, number WCB38, was destined to be clothed in a Sports Saloon body at Park Ward. Subsequently delivered to the distributors, Scottish Motor Traction Co. Ltd in Carlisle on the 2nd of December 1948, with the registration ‘JM 8001’, it left the works wearing Metallic Grey with a complementing Grey upholstery and specified with ‘step irons’. The first registered keeper of ‘JM 8001’ was a W.E. Sayer Esq. of Kirkby Stephen, Westmoreland, who took delivery on the 14th March 1949. To date, the Sports Saloon’s V5C documents just this one former keeper.

It is believed the Sport Saloon was originally used as part of HM The Queen’s visit to Appleby, Cumbria in the mid-1950s, indeed, a press cutting from a May 2005 copy of the Northern Echo on file, refers to the Royal connection. Now in the ownership of the J.H. Henderson and Sons of Penrith, The 2005 article documents the car’s “complete restoration” and colour change to Cream in 2005, with a contrasting Red leather interior, and the 10 weeks of work by The Carrosserie Company (UK) Ltd of Barnard Castle, by Dick Francis and Steve Layton. There are handwritten job sheets on file for the £26,089.83 2005 restoration.

Between the 1st November 2006 and 30th June 2007, the Sports Saloon received an extensive engine overhaul at a cost of £33,567.01, with Dennis Pilling & Son of Leigh, Lancashire. Dennis Pilling & Son of Leigh had also attended to other mechanical components over the years, including work on the suspension and brakes. ‘JM 8001’ returned to The Carrosserie Company (UK) Ltd in 2010, for further remedial bodywork with an invoice on file for £1,869.12. Upon our visit, the engine ’ran silently and smoothly. The interior and exterior present as ‘very good’. Offered with correspondence and invoices relating to work carried out, restoration photographs, old MOT documentation, a copy of the build cards and the current V5C.

1937 Chrysler Royal C16

No Reserve*

Reg No: PFO 615 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 6902946

The “Royal” nameplate was used for one year in 1933 when the Airflow replaced the Royal in 1934, then brought back in 1937 when the Airflow sold poorly, and was sold alongside the Airflow which continued to offer the Chrysler Straight Eight. A November 1936 advertisement listed the 1937 Royal as available in ten body types, starting at USD$715 ($13,962 in 2021 dollars), with the four-door sedan at USD$815 ($15,915 in 2021 dollars). The 1937 Royal Series C-16 was installed with the Chrysler Straight Six and took the entry-level position in the Chrysler hierarchy, while being shared with the DeSoto Airstream. Total production run of this Sedan model variation ran to 62,408 units and only a small number of these were right-hand drive versions for export to New Zealand and Australia. British versions were built at Kew, London. It was powered by a 93hp Straight 6-cylinder side valve, 3,780cc Straight 6 engine.

‘PFO 615’ is believed to be the only example of this model in the United Kingdom and has been in its current family ownership since 1995. This car was originally built in Detroit and exported to New Zealand where it remained until it was imported into the UK in 1995. A total production run of 1200 units of the Sedan model were produced and very few of those would have been right-hand drive. There were ten owners up to 1993 but it had been laid up for the last 20 years. It was then acquired by a family member at a mileage of 50,985 miles in 1993. The car was renovated in New Zealand over the next 2 years and then imported into England, where it had its first MOT at 51,034 miles and was registered here in November 1995. The car has remained with the family in Wimbledon and Northampton, and now has a loving home near Leek, Staffordshire, where, according to the vendor, “...it easily climbs Ladderedge Bank at 40mph”. Accompanying the Royal is an instruction book, workshop manual, a collection of old MOTs and its original New Zealand logbook.

1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: F738 UTW MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB160427

Launched in 1975, Jaguar’s XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. It was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coilsprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

Manufactured in 1989, the XJ-S offered was supplied new by Dovercourt Jaguar of Chelmsford, being delivered on the 22nd of March to the first registered keeper, Margoheath Ltd. of Westcliff-on-Sea. Presented in the attractive colour combination of Arctic Blue Metallic paintwork with complementing Cream leather interior upholstery and a Blue hood, the Jaguar was purchased by the vendor in 2015 having covered a mere 78,000 miles. Now offered for auction having just shy of 81,000 miles from new on the odometer, the Jaguar has benefited from brake improvement while residing in the vendor’s ownership.

Supplied with a history file that contains the original bookpack with the owner’s handbook and stamped service book, the service book contains thirteen stamps, twelve of which being from main dealers or specialists. Additionally, two further oil changes have been completed by the vendor while in his custodianship. The history file mentioned also contains a large selection of previous invoices and MOT certificates, and a current V5C document. Due to be supplied with a fresh MOT certificate by the time of the auction, the XJ-S is also accompanied by a new inner headlining as there is not one currently fitted.

1980 Land Rover Series III 88”

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: MLD 78V MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: LBABH1AA104548

First registered in March 1980, the vendor bought the Series III a few years ago from John Brown 4x4 of Thirsk, North Yorkshire. Retaining its original 2,286cc petrol engine it displays 81,031 credible miles (evidenced from the MOT records) and is tax and MOT exempt as an Historic Vehicle. This is a genuine Station Wagon in a very original condition and specification. Benefitting from the safari ‘hot climate’ roof, with vents and working interior roof light, ‘MLD’ still has the 4 original folding seats in the rear, rather than bench seats, with sliding rear side windows. The Landrover’s only significant change to the appearance being the Continental Cross Contact AT tyre’s (offering reduced noise) and new wheels. The wheels were bought from Paddock Spares who kept photographs of the Landrover with the tyres and the set of wheels fitted because they loved the ‘look’. A new wheel nut and locking-nut set was included. However, the Landie is being offered with the 5 original wheels with tyres, if the original ‘look’ is so desired. The specification also features parabolic springs, and a tow bar with electrics. The spare wheel is on a swing away bracket at the rear.

In the cabin, the middle front seat has been taken out and a ‘cubby’ storage box fitted, with the small middle seat being included in the sale. A JVC radio and CD player has been fitted, and offers Bluetooth connectivity and there is a microphone on the dashboard, all professionally installed at John Brown 4x4. Additionally, a pair of genuine new-old-stock sun visors have been fitted. It has the deluxe, luxury interior trim and seats still fitted so is much quieter inside when you are driving. Featuring overdrive on the transmission, the vendor describes ‘MLD’ as starting and driving ‘really well’. Offered with a weatherproof cover, an original set of Series III wheels, a collection of invoices and old MOTs and the V5C Registration Document.

2011 Suffolk SS100

Among the best examples we have seen

Estimate: £48,000 - £55,000*

Reg No: A504 YCY MOT: June 2025 Chassis No: DVLASWA3972124306

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever made, the Jaguar SS100 has been an object of desire for more than eighty years and has inspired numerous imitations. Though, few - if any - have been as aesthetically accurate as the cars built by Terry Rowing. Having established an enviable reputation for restoring genuine SS100s, he decided to create a Jaguar XJ6-based Evocation; combining the style and feel of the original with more modern road manners. The manufacturing rights were eventually purchased by Roger Williams of Suffolk Sportscars in 1996, and the cars would be reborn and refined as the Suffolk SS100.

Presented in a very attractive combination of Blue with contrasting Red Connolly leather interior, this particular Suffolk SS100 is powered by the ever-popular Jaguar 4.2-litre straight six DOHC engine with dual SU carburettors. Reportedly producing over 250bhp, this lovely example is driven through a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and benefits from a narrowed XJS differential, AVO suspension, new Blockley Performance tyres, and a stainless steel exhaust with stainless manifolds.

Built between 2007 and 2011, ‘OSV 448’ was driven, enjoyed, and thoroughly looked after by the vendor’s late husband for a period spanning ten years. MOT certificates were given most years, with only two advisories spanning the lifetime of the vehicle for wheel bearings having slight play. Regular maintenance was applied as necessary, with more recent invoices for servicing in 2019 demonstrating how well ‘OSV 448’ was looked after. Not only were engine oil and filters replaced, but gearbox oil, coolant, brake fluid, clutch fluid, and a re-greasing for good measure.

With a successful IVA test, the Suffolk received a Type Approval number in April of 2022, there had, however, been a few hurdles to get beyond to reach that point. When the vendor applied for a change of keeper on the V5C document after her husband’s passing, she unfortunately encountered the same issue plaguing a large proportion of these wonderful motor cars. The Suffolk Sportscars website stated that ‘cars built for use on the UK roads must first pass an IVA test’. However, the majority of the 200 or so cars that stayed in the UK were registered using the V5C of the donor car and had only a standard MOT prior to road use. A number of cars have had the V5 withdrawn until a successful IVA test, and this particular example had, unfortunately, suffered the same fate.

Following this incident, the vendor had the car sent back to Suffolk Classic Services themselves for an extensive vehicular overhaul to pass IVA testing, with over 135 hours of work totaling nearly £12,000. Within this work, the car was subject to a replacement petrol tank, bushes, the AVO shocks overhauled, the speedometer re-calibrated, the wheel hubs re-shimmed, replacement Blockley 3-Stud tyres, the carburettors overhauled, reverse lamps re-wired, spark plugs replaced, and much more. After its successful IVA test, the car was re-assigned a new DVLA chassis number as above, as well as the registration ‘A504 YCY’. Now correctly registered as a Suffolk SS100 on the V5C, this particular example is one of the best Suffolk SS100s we have encountered.

Accompanied by the newly registered ‘A504 YCY’, an impressive history file containing an itemized spreadsheet with 223 lines over 6 pages documents the parts and process of the build. As well as this, the Suffolk SS100 customer build manual, wiring diagrams, numerous technical documents and manuals, and a small collection of MOT certificates under its previous registration are included. Also included is a large collection of invoices for the car’s initial build, work since, and for the recent works with Suffolk Classic Services totaling over £80,000. The paperwork for the IVA testing, including certification, also accompanies the vehicle, as well as the V5C document which displays ‘0’ former keepers.

1960 Facel Vega HK500

Reg No: VFF 926 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: HK1 BP4

“In the world of motoring some few cars come to deserve the adjective ‘great’ because, although they have faults like everything else in this imperfect world, they provide such a highly desirable combination of virtues. Driving the latest Facel Vega HK500 in Britain, France, Switzerland, and Belgium…we found it hard to keep superlatives out of the conversation” (Motor, April 1960).

The most famous and successful of the various Facel Vega models, the HK500 was introduced in May 1958. True to company founder Jean Daninos’ vision of a hand built ‘grand routier’ that could compete on the world stage, the newcomer counted the likes of the Ferrari 250GTE, Maserati 3500GT and Aston Martin DB4 among its rivals. Derived from that of the preceding FVS, the sport saloon’s tubular steel chassis was equipped with independent double-wishbone front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel finned drum brakes (though, discs were soon optional). Maintaining the short-lived manufacturer’s reputation for performance, the HK500 was powered by a 5.9 litre (later 6.3 litre) Chrysler V8 OHV engine allied to automatic transmission. While, those looking for even greater thrills could specify a four-speed Pont-a-Mousson manual gearbox and dual four-choke Carter carburettors. One of the fastest cars of its generation, Autocar found a manual HK500 to be capable of 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds, 0-100mph in 19.1 seconds and a theoretical 140mph.

Beautifully wrought, the four-seater’s steel body was characterized by a dramatic three-piece grille, wraparound windscreen, stacked headlights, cut-away tail lights and imposing bumpers. As stylish inside as out, the Facel Vega’s cabin boasted sumptuous leather upholstery, electric windows and a wood-effect painted steel dashboard. With a select clientele that included Pablo Picasso, Ava Gardner, Sir Stirling Moss, Ringo Starr, Tony Curtis, Maurice Trintignant, Joan Fontaine, Danny Kaye, François Truffaut and Rob Walker, the HK500 remained in production until 1961 by which time some 490 are thought to have been made, although the Facel Vega Car Club believe just 98 of these were supplied new to the UK.

According to information kindly supplied by the Facel Vega Car Club, this particular example – chassis HK1 BP4 – was originally finished in Brunswick Blue with Grey leather upholstery and supplied new to the founder and chairman of Magnatex Ltd, W.E. O’Shei Esq., who had it road registered as ‘WO 2’ on 15th July 1960. Thereafter, the HK500 is known to have belonged to a Mr Fane of Wormsley Park (now the country seat of the Getty family) and Kevin Silcock Esq. The latter was living, appropriately enough, on Brunswick Park Road in North London when he acquired the four-seater in 1967 and took it with him

when he relocated to North Wales five years later. Purchased by the deceased vendor from Mr Silcock some forty-seven years ago, the Facel Vega had not been MOT tested since 1972 at and indicated 55,000 miles. Kept garaged for the past five decades and still riding on Rudge, centre-lock steel wheels, the HK500 was carefully extracted during late February 2023. Seemingly complete down to its windscreen washer bottle and under bonnet lights, the Grand Routier is thought to pleasingly retain its original Grey leather upholstery. Equipped with ‘push button’ automatic transmission, no amount of cobwebs or dust can obscure the HK500’s road presence. Rare and stylish in equal measure, this RHD ‘HK1’ has the makings of a very rewarding project. Offered for sale with continuation Green logbook, expired MOT certificate and older V5C Registration Document.

1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback

Estimate: £130,000 - £160,000*

Reg No: OHN 982E MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 67400F2A01926

Ford’s 1967 model-year revamp of the Mustang allowed the pony car to host a ‘big block’ 390 cu in V8 for the first time. Never one to miss an opportunity, Carroll Shelby was quick to engineer and launch his GT500 version complete with enhanced brakes and suspension, bespoke lightweight fibreglass panels (bonnet, boot, front end, side scoops etc), integral rollover bar and 428 cu in ‘Police Interceptor’ V8 engine allied to either fourspeed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Conservatively rated at 355hp and 420lbft of torque, the 7-litre powerplant endowed the Fastback with tyre smoking performance; 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and 132mph. Just 2,048 Shelby GT500 Fastbacks were made during the 1967 model-year with a good proportion falling foul of exuberant drivers including Jim Morrison of The Doors who crashed the Nightmist Blue example that Elektra Records gifted him on Sunset Boulevard!

According to its accompanying Deluxe Marti Auto Works report and SAAC Shelby Registry documentation, chassis 01926 was supplied new by the Bedford Motors Corp of Virginia to James W. Gregg Jnr on September 26th 1967 (though, its initial build prior to Shelby conversion had been completed on April 5th 1967). Finished in Nighmist Blue Metallic with a Black Knitted Décor interior, the Fastback’s specification also encompassed a 428 cu in ‘Police Interceptor’ V8 engine, four-speed manual transmission, extra cooling package, power steering and power front disc brakes. Relocating to Key West whilst Gregg attended US Naval College, the Shelby then passed through the hands of Bob Bordeaux, Ken & Shirley Young, Tony Mazzelini, Kevin Jones, Garry Kazia, Blake Mitchell, Jack Bell, Dallas Mustang and Jack Bell again before being imported to the UK by Mustang collector Steve Blackett during July 1997. Still wearing the 1970s coat of paint which had seen Kevin Jones take the spray shop responsible to court (the judge ruling in his favour when he saw the finish at first hand), the Shelby apparently required little more than a brake overhaul to pass its first UK MOT test. Displaying a credible but unwarranted 74,000 or so miles to its odometer, the GT500 was subject to a feature article in the September 1998 issue of ‘Classic American’ magazine which is where it first came to the attention of Alan Faulkener-Stevens. A former Aston Martin design and development engineer whose formal training was within the aircraft industry, he has long been the proprietor of Dragon Wheels Muscle Car Restorations. Having negotiated the purchase of chassis 01926 on behalf of a client in March 2005, Faulkner-Stevens set about refurbishing the Fastback to concours condition. Documented via two photo albums and numerous invoices, the work took over three years to complete and cost in excess of £100,000 (despite modest labour rates of £25-30

per hour). The original Shelby fibreglass panels were carefully removed and the original bodyshell stripped back to bare metal. The minimal sheet metal repairs necessary were carried out by ex-Aston Martin craftsmen and the structure laid out on an engineering bed to ensure its trueness. The factory-fitted 428 cu in ‘Police Interceptor’ V8 engine was ‘stroked’ and overhauled by Knight Racing Services (the associated dyno sheets showing 437bhp/525lbft) and the four-speed ‘Top Loader’ manual gearbox rejuvenated complete with a McLeod flywheel and clutch assembly. The heavy-duty rear axle was refreshed and uprated with a Ford Traction-Loc LSD and forged driveshafts. The new wiring loom was modified to facilitate UK specification indicators etc, while the instruments and seatbelts were professionally restored in the USA. The rare wood-rim steering wheel was refurbished, the headlining / carpets renewed and the upholstery re-trimmed. A genuine Carroll Shelby signature was sourced for the glovebox and even the seatbelt mounts on the integral rollover hoop received attention. Repainted in Nightmist Blue Metallic with authentic GT500 side decals and replated brightwork, ‘OHN 982E’ proved smart enough to grace the pages of the Mustang Owners of Great Britain magazine and be judged a finalist in the Muscle Car Class of the 2009 Salon Prive Concours d’Elegance held at the Hurlingham Club in London.

Still proudly displayed on the Dragon Wheels Muscle Car Restorations website, the Shelby has seen scant use since its renovation was completed. Indeed, the engine received a light overhaul at the hands of JonPaul Motor Services Ltd of Epping during November 2016 because it had ‘never been run-in’ (£6,207.35). Predominantly kept garaged since its last MOT certificate expired on June 30th 2018, the GT500 is due to be fitted with a new battery ahead of sale. However, a degree of recommissioning is recommended prior to road use (especially given the performance potential). Something of an ‘automotive unicorn’ on UK roads, this iconic Muscle Car is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, restoration photo albums and history file.

2000 Bentley Azure

c.16,500 miles from new

Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000*

Reg No: V855 GLM MOT: June 2023 Chassis No: SCBZK15E8XCH61854

The first generation Bentley Azure Convertible was conceived while the company was still under Vickers management and produced from 1995 to 2003. Debuted at the 1995 Geneva Salon, it was based on the platform of the highly successful Continental R, and combined the glamour of the company’s early coachbuilt Drophead Coupes with modern-day technology and performance - a heady cocktail for those lucky enough to afford it. The car’s presence was immense, born of the combination of automotive elegance and sheer size - the Azure was 210 inches long. Sculptured seats ensured the optimum cosseting for up to four adults. This was the height of luxury.

At the heart of the Azure, as of so many post-war Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, was the Group’s mighty 6.75-litre OHV V-8 engine complete with Garrett AirResearch turbocharger and Zytek EMS3 digital engine management. The unit drove through a General Motorssourced four-speed automatic transmission. With some 400bhp on tap and in excess of 600lbft of torque, the 0-60mph dash could be dispensed with in around six seconds, despite the car’s generous all-up weight of 5,750 pounds. Speeds of up to 150mph were possible when allowed, doubtless without a ripple on a glass of champagne. Suspension was independent front and rear with adaptive ride control. Final assembly of the model took place at the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe. Today, this desirable Azure, finished in Royal Blue Metallic with a Blue cloth hood, displays just c.16,500 miles on the odometer. First registered on the 6th of January 2000, the Azure was supplied by the Bentley dealership Straight Eight (New Forest) Ltd. The build specification included an interior finished in Cotswold and French Navy hides with French Navy piping to the seats. Complementing Parchment cloth headlining, Wilton carpets are Dark Blue with lambswool over-rugs and a shaded Sundym windscreen in Green are also present and enhance the cosseting interior of this attractive cabriolet from Bentley. The 6.75 litre V8 was utilised via the smooth 4-speed automatic transmission.

‘GLM’ has been in the current ownership since 2011, with just 3 former keepers recorded on the V5C, the previous long-term ownership was from 2004 to 2011. In that previous ownership the Azure benefitted from a new steering rack fitted in 2010. The Azure is offered with old invoices and MOTs, its service book and sundry invoices. The Bentley build records are also on file and offered with ‘GLM’.

2010 Range Rover Vogue Overfinch

Holland & Holland

1 of just 5 Holland & Holland examples

Estimate: £28,000 - £32,000*

Reg No: HJ10 XXM MOT: March 2024 Chassis No: SALLMAM23AA323001

Synonymous performance division are iconic in the car world; sheer performance from Mercedes-Benz’s enhanced by AMG, Fords with RS Cosworth badges on the boot can always be relied upon to supply thrills on demand, and Overfinch has been connected to Range Rover (and Land Rover) since the 1970’s offering something a little more ‘exuberant’ to the world’s best four-wheel drive car ever built. Overfinch, in association with the world famous gunmaker, Holland & Holland, decided to produced an extremely limited edition of the Range Rover, in which standard extras are superseded by bespoke packages for their limited numbers production cars. For what could be considered the rarest of all Range Rovers ever built, with just five procured, they boast a phenomenal specification, and at the time, Neil Underwood, Chief Operating Officer of Overfinch states that ‘our designers and engineers have worked closely with the quite astonishing craftsmen of Holland & Holland to create the most exclusive, most luxurious off-roader ever built’.

Manufactured in 2010, ‘HJ10 XXM’ is the fifth and final Range Rover Overfinch Holland & Holland manufactured. Provided special commission number 007, the first owner had the Range Rover repainted when new from the Black that it left the factory floor with, to Pearl White as seen here, completed by Overfinch Scotland as part of the exhaustive customisation programme. Notably, the colour change is registered as on the same day as first registration! Understood to be the only L322 example manufactured with fiveseats, some of the Overfinch/Holland & Holland customisation extends to the following; full Holland & Holland custom interior in Chocolate leather; Holland & Holland extended wood pack with inlays, fully fitted boot wooden compartment with etched Overfinch/H&H crystal tumblers and champagne flutes, Holland & Holland leather and wood steering wheel with steel monogrammed inlays. Sitting on Overfinch five-spoke alloys, the body is an Overfinch Aero body-kit with exhaust finishers, Overfinch LED illuminated kick plates, deploying side-step, and it comes as no surprise that the car comes with extensive Range Rover options.

Fitted with the 3.6-litre TDV8 engine, the Range Rover was re-registered ‘81 S’ upon receipt by the first owner. Entering into current registered ownership in 2020, the Overfinch has now had just four former keepers. Benefitting from a new alternator and starter motor in 2020 with specialists LR-XS Ltd., the expenditure came to c.£1,500. Supplied with

service history across both the original stamped service book and further invoices, the Holland & Holland has seven records with the majority from Land Rover main dealers, and the most recent service being completed in 2022. The history file further comprises the original bookpack in Land Rover wallet (with handbook, aforementioned stamped service book and Overfinch sales literature), a collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates, and a current V5C document.

Recently ceramic coated, the Range Rover is a fantastic bespoke SUV, extensively upgraded and re-finished by Overfinch in association with Holland & Holland. Presented in a very smart colour combination, with a sumptuous interior that is trimmed with swatches of leather and notable expanses of fine wood. An exceptionally rare L322 model; this Range Rover would be a wonderful ‘event’ car for special occasions, but could even be pressed into service more regularly, or be a fantastic additional to any collection.

1972 Triumph Stag

Warranted 33,300 miles from new

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: MMD 701L MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: LD13773BW

Finished in Saffron Yellow – the same colour as the MK1 example driven by Sean Connery in the 1971 James Bond film ‘Diamonds are Forever’ –chassis LD13773BW was purchased new by Mrs Violet Foicik from Naylor & Root Ltd of Lavender Hill, London for the princely sum of £2,662.99. First registered as ‘MMD 701L’ on 25th October 1972, the 2+2-seater pleasingly retains its original bill of sale and Passport to Service. The latter contains entries at 20, 1,100, 3,689, 7,234, 8,746, 12,222, 14,750, 18,400, 21,150 and 28,700 miles. It also notes the fitment of a reconditioned engine on April 2nd 1976 (circa 12,000 miles ago) hence the MK2 air filter etc. Acquired by its current registered keeper from Mrs Patricia Florence Foicik on July 12th 2002, accompanying bills show that the past two decades have seen the Triumph benefit from attention to its brakes, suspension, carburettors, exhaust, oil pump and timing chains etc. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Stag has covered a warranted 33,300 miles from new. Much of the Black upholstery appears original and in commensurately good order. The Saffron Yellow paintwork has been renewed and a fresh mohair hood fitted at some stage. The brightwork has been similarly enhanced and a new bumper fitted. Treated to over £2,400 worth of fettling by marque specialist Stagbay of Guildford earlier this year, ‘MMD 701L’ has had an additional £3,000 spent on it at the vendor’s own restoration facility and comes with parts bills totalling more than £5,000. The engine bay has been professionally detailed, a new under bonnet pad installed and the seat foams replaced where necessary. Being shod with new tyres and MOT tested ahead of the sale, it is accompanied by current and old V5/V5C registration documents, book pack and history file. A great opportunity to purchase a notably low owner, low mileage MK1 Stag in a striking period colour.

1936 Standard Avon

‘Le Mans’ Special Tourer

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: ABM 410 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 232013A

Founded by Reginald Maudsley in Coventry in 1903, the Standard Motor Company Limited established itself before purchasing Triumph in 1945, officially changing its name to Standard-Triumph International in 1949. John Black became joint Managing Director in 1929 and invited the likes of Avon, Swallow and Jensen coachbuilders to offer bodies. During the early 1930s Avon produced sports-style cars utilising the Standard chassis. Standard production chassis units, they were tried and tested for use by others, like Avon who produced their own vehicles such as those known as the Avon Standard Specials, offering a Tourer model ideal for the enthusiast motorer, however, on a scale that Standard themselves would have found uneconomical to get involved with at the works.

Having formed part of a private collection in recent years, with occasional use and greatly enjoyed, here is an attractive Tourer, presenting very well in British Racing Green with a Black interior trim, Black double duck hood and side screens, the bodywork is still in great shape, as is the brightwork and the interior décor and trim. The body is by The New Avon Body Company Limited of Warwick - established in 1919. At the time of consignment, we were advised that the 9hp, 950cc, 4-cylinder engine was ‘running well’. A simple design ethos of the day, from Standard, makes for potential ownership that would suit many a home mechanic today, as it would have been the case back in the day. Even today, as well as offering Avon’s ‘sporty’ styling.

It is believed to be one of only nine ‘Le Mans’ style Tourers built before WWII by The New Avon Body Company Limited. Restored and overhauled some 20 years ago, the process was fully reported in a 5-page Practical Classics article, May 2001 (copy included) and is offered with some invoices. A ‘sporty’ pre-WWII classic with simple, tried and tested Standard engineering, the vendor assures us ‘ABM’ drives with ‘no known faults’. The history file includes the original owner’s handbook and instruction book, old MOTs and invoices.

1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: AWW 371K MOT: May 2023

Chassis No: 10801812098441

A final year example presented in the attractive colour combination of Dark Blue with Black leather interior, this particular Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 2.8 was first delivered to Greece in 1972 and registered with its first owners. The story, as it goes, is that the car remained with them in Greece and then in France, where it would remain in the family; eventually being sold by the children via a garage to its previous owners; a lady and her mother who had wanted to own one for years.

The previous keepers owned the car in France for a number of years, where it was enjoyed for activities including driving to market and for use as an occasional taxi for their three dogs. After the owners moved to the UK, The car was once again not forgotten, and was brought over in May 2021 and registered on the 1st of September of that year. Shortly after, ‘AWW 371K’ was subject to extensive mechanical works with the Classic Project Shop and Stantlake Vehicle Services including servicing, an interior re-fresh, extensive mechanical works including replacement gearbox mounts, the power steering overhauled, replacement stainless steel exhaust system, a replacement distributor, coil and leads and extensive fettling. These works totalled in excess of £11,000.

‘AWW 371K’ was acquired by the current owner in December 2022. Having been enjoyed over the Christmas period, the vehicle is now offered for sale to help fund a larger purchase. Now displaying c.89,000 miles on the odometer, unfortunately due to lost documentation, there is little to corroborate the story or the mileage. Some documentation does remain however from the car’s time in France, as well as, a MercedesBenz build certificate, a collection of invoices for works undertaken in the UK, some MOT certificates, NOVA documentation, a Mercedes-Benz owner’s manual, Greek and French registration plates, the V5C document and more.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is booked in for an MOT on Monday 17 April in preparation for sale.

1992 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: J60 SHE MOT: August 2023

Chassis No: SAJJNADW3EN182870

Launched in 1975, Jaguar’s XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. It was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coilsprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

Displaying 5 former keepers on HPI, this convertible iteration of the XJ-S still wears its original DVLA awarded number ‘J60 SHE’. Previously the subject of an extensive bodywork restoration and repaint the Jaguar has recently been shod with new tyres and a new hood. ‘J60 SHE’ comes to auction with the original service book, a collection of old MOTs plus invoices, photographs of the aforementioned bodywork restoration and currently displays c.100,010 miles. The registration number ‘J60 SHE’ is staying on the car.

1999 Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI Sport

Only 5,600 miles

No Reserve*

Reg No: V301 MOA MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB2021332F891013

Replacing the W201 C-Class, the W202 was introduced in 1993, initially with two petrol and two diesel engine offerings. Four distinctive trim levels were offered, Classic, Elegance, Esprit, and Sport. The Sport featured lowered and uprated suspension, alloy wheels, sport seats, a carbon effect dash, leather rimmed steering wheel, and a sunroof, being aimed at the more sporting driver.

Manufactured in 1999, the C220 CDI Sport offered, was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered on the 1st of September that year. Specified from new with the five-speed automatic transmission, air conditioning, acceleration skid control, electric windows all round, front armrest, outside temperature indicator, and interior safeguarding package, the Mercedes is finished in Brilliant Silver with Black cloth interior upholstery. Thought to have been a dealer demonstrator when new, the Mercedes-Benz was sold to its first private owner in late September 1999. Only retained by him for a year, ‘V301 MOA’ entered the ownership of its long-term keeper in September 2000, who is understood to have been a photographer for a Mercedes-Benz dealership. However, the gentleman used the car sparingly and, by 2008, the C-Class was taken off the road and placed into dry storage.

Dry stored for a decade, the Mercedes was purchased by the vendor to add to his small private collection. Now offered for auction as a very well-preserved example, featuring original front foot mats, jack, and complete first aid kit, ‘V301 MOA’ is surely one of the lowest mileage W202s surviving! Starting readily and ‘running well’ during our recent photography session, the Sport is accompanied by the original bookpack including service book, displayed in the Mercedes-Benz wallet, a previous logbook illustrating the long-term previous ownership, and is due to possess a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale. One not to be missed by the Mercedes-Benz collector, or anyone after a very low mileage C-Class!

1930 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sports Saloon by The Southern Motor Co.

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: EEL 999 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GLR2

First registered on 14th April, 1930, chassis number GLR2, originally began life as a Weymann’s Saloon from coachbuilders H. F. Cooper & Sons. Originally delivered to Mr Maurice T. Molloy on the 14th April, 1930, at some point in its life, the 20/25 was ‘modernised’, with the chassis undergoing a re-clothing in a Sports Saloon body by The Southern Motor Co. of 72, Park Hill, Clapham in July of 1938. H.F. Cooper & Sons only delivered 5 cars on a Rolls-Royce chassis, and 3 further rebodies, 8 in total.

In the ownership of the Henderson family of Penrith for some 20-30 years many, the 20/25 Sports Saloon, finished in Cream with complementing Cream leather interior, has seen work on the body and mechanical areas with invoices on file. There are invoices for a dynamo repair between 2004 and 2007 and in 2005 Dennis Pilling & Son, Rolls-Royce & Bentley Specialists, carried out a number of jobs that included investigation and repair of the cylinder head and fitting a new cylinder head, along with a manifold repair. The work came to a total of £10,308.71. Over one thousand pounds was spent at Clark Automotive, Cumbria, in the autumn of 2007, for brake work, shock absorbers and the exhaust. In late 2011, the owners, Cars of Distinction of Penrith (Henderson family owned), employed the services of Ian Bainbridge Motor Body Repairs, Shap, Cumbria for some bodywork at a cost of just over one thousand pounds, with an invoice on file.

Bodywork and paint present ‘well’ and the engine ‘runs smoothly’. Receiving an interior retrim at some point, the woodwork, which is believed to be original, still presents nicely. ‘EEL 999’ is said to drive ‘very well’, at the time of our visit. Offered with some old MOT paperwork, invoices for restoration work and repairs carried out over the years, there is also a V5C present in the family name relating to it more recent longterm ownership.

1967 Land Rover Series IIA 88”

Pickup

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: LDP 141F MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 27108213

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 fourcylinder 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. Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefitted 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 wonderful example is believed to have been restored between 2010 & 2012, there are some pictures of the restoration on file which demonstrably suggest the work was carried out to a high standard. According to the vendor, everything is reported to be in good working order and the pickup benefits from rear fold-down seats in the bed, which are removable if preferred. ‘LDP 141F’ comes complete with two sets of keys, a V5 registration document, some restoration pictures, and some older paperwork. An opportunity to purchase an “up together” iconic Landy that presents really well.

1959 Austin-Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite

Estimate: £16,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: VAX 912 MOT: Exempt Chassis

No: AN517186

Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the `Frogeye’. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC `A’ series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension featured coil springs and wishbones up front, quarter elliptic springs to the rear and lever arm dampers all round.

Presenting in the iconic Old English White with a desirable Red interior, this pretty ‘Frogeye’ Sprite (aka the ‘Bugeye’ in the USA) was a UKsupplied car with the date of first registration being 23rd May, 1959.

Previously being in long-term ownership between 2001 and 2021, the then custodian of this revered little British sportscar restored the Sprite between 2001 and 2005. The extensive restoration was photographed, showing work was carried out to the bodywork, paint and mechanicals, with the current owner carrying out some mechanical fettling. Just c.500 miles have been completed since the restoration.

During the restoration process the ‘Frogeye’ was fitted with a 1275cc engine from a Sprite donor car, with the owner retaining the VIN plate and a copy of the donor car’s log book before it was scrapped which accompany the car. That engine is understood to have been previously reconditioned which when checked, by the vendor’s mechanic, was found to have good compression.

Over the last few years ‘VAX 912’ has benefitted from a service and some expenditure that has included an electric fuel pump, R9 fuel hoses, battery, regulator, speedo cable and some fettling to carburettor. The ‘Frogeye’ is offered with its ‘as new’ full weather equipment, a collection of invoices and restoration photographs, the engine donor’s VIN plate and copy log book, parts and workshop manual and V5C document.

1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

Only 31,000 recorded miles

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: HIL 5895 MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: SCAZS0002BCH02172

A square-cut, broad-shouldered design, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was styled in-house by Austrian-born Fritz Feller. Although derived from that of the preceding Silver Shadow, the newcomer’s floorpan offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling thanks to its novel Girling automatic ride height control and gas shock absorbers. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe’s engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine and automatic transmission to a muted hush (unless the model’s reputed 120mph potential was explored). Driver inputs were minimised with power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Only in production between 1980 and 1989, just 8,129 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Saloons are thought to have been made.

Manufactured in 1981, the Silver Spirit offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom and is presented in White paintwork with Beige leather interior upholstery. Previously a resident of Hyde Park Mansions, London, the Rolls-Royce is known to have spent a brief period in Northern Ireland in 2014, before being acquired by the vendor later that year. Offered for auction with just 31,000 recorded miles on the odometer, the Spirit is accompanied by a history file that contains the owner’s handbook, a collection of MOT certificates dating back to the 1990s, a selection of previous invoices for work and servicing, original sales literature, and a current V5C document. Due to be supplied with a fresh MOT certificate by the time of the auction.

1997 BMW 750i Saloon

1 of just 412 RHD cars made

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*

Reg No: R994 DWX MOT: February 2024

Chassis No: WBAGG22090DG70223

Launched in 1994, the third (E38) generation of BMW’s luxurious 7-Series could be had with a choice of straight-six, V8 and V12 engines and in short (i), long (iL) and limousine (L7) wheelbase lengths. Sportier than its Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and Jaguar XJ rivals, the 7-Series enjoyed starring roles in such iconic films as ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ (with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond 007), ‘The Transporter’ and ‘The Game’. Undoubted flagship, the 750i shared its 5.4 litre V12 engine and fivespeed automatic transmission with the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph (the Crewe concern being owned by BMW at the time). With some 322bhp / 361lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.6 seconds and 155mph (limited). Although, such performance did not compromise the five-seater’s impressive refinement and luxury.

According to the E38 Registry, chassis 70223 is one of just 299 prefacelift 750i cars completed to right-hand drive specification. First registered as ‘H1 JCT’ and thought to have been initially allocated to a member of senior management, the flagship saloon was acquired by its current (second) keeper from Almondsbury BMW of Huddersfield on 6th February 1998. Finished in the handsome combination of Biarritz Blue Metallic with Grey Nappa leather upholstery, the five-seater received the most recent of its fifteen services at 118,932 miles (a mere 600 miles or so ago). Perhaps unsurprisingly given its ‘full service history’ with main dealers contributing eleven stamps, the 750i was granted a ‘no advisories’ pass when last submitted for MOT testing during February 2023. Worthy of close inspection, ‘R944 DWX’ is variously described by the vendor as being in ‘very good (no known faults)’ (engine, transmission, electrical equipment), ‘excellent’ (paintwork) or ‘immaculate’ (bodywork, interior trim) condition. Riding on 18-inch M-Sport staggered twin blade alloy wheels, the BMW also features Shadow Line trim, fine wood veneers, double glazing, electrically adjustable seats, and a glass sunroof. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and sundry paperwork.

1937 Morris Eight Tourer

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: BDA 515 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S2E171893

Morris Motors launched the Morris Eight to compete with Ford Motor Company’s Model ‘Y’. The Morris Eight became one of the UK’s most popular pre-war cars. The car was powered by a simple 918cc sidevalve 4 cylinder engine that enabled the Eight to reach speeds of 58 mph! The Morris Eight Tourer is now a fairly rare model on the classic car scene, easy to maintain with a good spares back-up network. The Morris register provides excellent support and valuable information of running pre-war cars.

First registered in Wolverhampton on the 7th of October, 1937, where it spent the majority of it’s life, this attractive Series 2 example of the Morris Eight resided in the same family for some 40 years. Later passing into the hands of the son of the previous owner, having been in stored for some 30 of those years, the gentleman in question then set about an extensive restoration which was only completed a few months ago. During the restoration, the engine was overhauled with all ancillaries being either replaced or refurbished. At the same time, the opportunity was taken to replace the old 3-speed gearbox with a 4-speed unit from the later Series E model, with the speedo recalibrated to take care of the replacement 4-speed gearbox. Additionally, the interior was completely replaced with new leather upholstery and new carpets. Attention to the running gear included a braking system overhaul with new copper and nickel pipes and a refurbished master cylinder. The Morris also benefits from a stainlesssteel exhaust. Weather gear was also refurbished, with the hood frame powder coated and a new hood and side screens fitted. Offered at the sale with its own car cover and an extensive history file with its old buff logbook.

1984 Ford Capri 2.8i Special

Warranted 46,400 miles from new

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: B90 BGK MOT: May 2023

Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECEL30180

Debuting in 1984, the Ford Capri 2.8i Special boasted an enviable specification including a limited slip differential, five-speed manual gearbox, seven-spoke alloy wheels, half-leather Recaro front seats and colour coded headlamp surrounds / mirrors. Weighing less than a modern hatchback and with some 160bhp / 163lbft of torque on tap courtesy of its 2792cc V6 engine, the four-seater Coupe was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and 126mph. Great fun to drive with engaging, rear-wheel drive handling, the 2.8i Special has long had a cult following. Interestingly, the website howmanyleft.com suggests that just 557 Capri Injection models registered during 1984 have survived to the present day.

Finished in special order ‘Paris Blue’ (35) at Ford’s Cologne plant, chassis 30180 was first registered by London City Council on November 2nd 1984 (or so its ‘B90 BGK’ number plate would imply). Migrating to the South West thereafter and still carrying an under bonnet sticker for the Mid Devon Motor Co., the Capri has had just three keepers (the last two of whom were well known to each other) and covered a warranted 46,400 miles from new. Treated to a thorough service, replacement fuel tank and new front brake callipers during April-May 2022, more recent work has seen the Coupe benefit from attention to its differential seal, starter motor, alternator, ignition system, rear wheel cylinders and bump stops (associated parts bills from Capri specialist Tickover total more than £500) not to mention a photographically documented £7,000 respray, wheel refurbishment and professional detailing. Riding on correct ‘RSstyle’ seven-spoke alloys, ‘B90 BGK’ started readily and ran well during our photography session earlier this month. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, sundry bills and MOT certificates dating back to 1993 (at 37,428 miles).

1928 Lagonda 14/60 Two-Litre Semi Sports Tourer

No Reserve*

Reg No: GE 189 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 8783

The Lagonda 14/60 Two Litre is based on a sturdy ladder frame chassis suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs and having drum brakes to all wheels. It is powered by the 1954cc engine designed by Arthur Davidson; this imposing looking four-cylinder unit features twin camshafts mounted high in the block and fully machined hemispherical combustion chambers. Developing some 60bhp it is mated to a four-speed gearbox.

‘GE 189’ was registered new on 2nd April 1928; early history is unknown until it was registered to Louis Walton of Groombridge, Sussex, in January 1957. Passing through one subsequent owner, the car was acquired by the former owner in 1964. Reportedly, the car was then stripped down and the chassis zinc sprayed. Sometime between 1984 and January 1988, the car spent a period in Canada. It is evident from the car itself that much work was carried out by the former owner, with him stating that the engine had been professionally overhauled. Describing the engine, the vendor says it is a ‘lively high compression unit’; the extensive aluminium surfaces have been polished, screw heads plated, and the cylinder head nuts are chrome plated. The original Zenith carburettor was replaced by an SU instrument. Upholstery has been completely renewed in Rexine or some such; by the detail of the door pockets attention to detail is evident. The floor boarding has been completely renewed. Further work is the replacement of the original ‘Vee’ windscreen with a flat one and the bonnet is also not the original and is somewhat ill-fitting. Finished in Old English White on Black with Maroon chassis and wheels, the hood and side screens have been completely reconditioned.

‘GE 189’ was re-commissioned following some 12 years off the road during 2008 by the Haynes International Motor Museum at a cost of £1,672, spending a further 2 years unused before being purchased by the vendor in 2010. Work carried out by the vendor includes replacing the engine valve rockers with new ones supplied by the Lagonda Club, new brake linings and cables to the rear wheels, new tyres (except the spare), and re-silvering of the lamp reflectors. A major expense was a new radiator honeycomb, and he had the thermostat restored. The fuel system has been completely overhauled by McKenzie Guppy, including the Autovac and the main/reserve tap. The carburettor has also been serviced by the vendor. Following an electrical fire, the vendor introduced additional fuses to the system. He also made two small supplementary switch panels which include a cigar lighter, a two-pin service point and switches for ignition, reversing lamp and a windscreen washer. Sundry items include a new tonneau cover, cockpit cover

(this space is fitted out with safe stowage for the sidescreens), and hood bag. Offered for auction as the vendor states he has reached that stage of personal dilapidation such that he is now unable to safely enjoy vintage motoring any further.

‘GE 189’ is a Semi Sports Tourer model of the Lagonda 14/60 Two Litre family. Expensively built, styled, and equipped, it is a comfortable practical vintage tourer. It is fitted with an adjustable Auster windscreen for the comfort and protection of the rear seat passengers. The spacious rear footwell gives ample room for touring clobber or the bridal train. There is space behind the rear seat squab to store the folded tonneau and cockpit covers. It comes with two copies of the handbook – one a later reprint, the other a photocopy of an original. There are tools stowed in the carrier next to the front passenger’s left leg, and a box for heavier items under the rear footwell. There is a modern jack under the bonnet, but no handle. Other items include the ‘buff’ logbook, the V5C document, sundry historical papers and invoices, together with some advertisements taken from magazines of the time.

1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30hp

Landaulette Limousine

Coachwork by Barker

Estimate: £34,000 - £38,000*

Reg No: VS 3298 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GXM15

Maintaining its policy of offering one ‘Large’ and one ‘Small’ model (the terms being purely relative!), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20hp. Though the newcomer was intended to appeal to owner drivers, many examples were in fact sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20hp. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed – up to 75mph, depending on the chosen body. The four-speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer’s traditional right-hand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo-assisted. In 1936, the company opted to increase the performance once more, further enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1,201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938. Like many Rolls-Royces of this elegance, the 25/30 marque starred on the silver screen, most notably in ‘The Naked Truth’ and ‘Death on the Nile’.

Delivered by the Rolls-Royce factory to Barker and Co. on the 6th of October 1936; Robert Alexander Alston paid the princely sum of £1,990 to acquire ‘GMX15’. It was delivered to his home in Greenock, Scotland via his local agents in Glasgow. Robert was a member of the industrious Alston & Steele family who had commercial interests in Ceylon, India, Burma, Australia, and of course Scotland. These diverse business interests comprised of Glasgow & Greenock Shipping Co, the Bank of Bengal as well as Tea Plantations in Chundeecherra, Endogram, Looksan, Nedeem and Rangajaun.

Passing through the hands of seven subsequent keepers, before entering the current ownership; a colossal £49,350.84 was invested into the car between 2007 and 2012. The services of Milford Vintage Engineering were called upon and work included a full engine overhaul, complete re-wire in correct cotton covered cable, re-lining of the brakes, a new exhaust system, rebuilt dynamo, attention to the one-shot system and suspension, rebuilt road wheels and much more besides. Aesthetically improved too; the car was completely repainted in an attractive shade of Ochre and Black to a very high standard and is complemented by Black wheel discs.

Purchased by the current owner (via the Real Car Company of Bethesda) in April 2014; this example of a well-built, practical and substantial Landaulette features an opening rear roof section making it an ideal configuration for wedding hire use. Said to have been “100% reliable during his ownership” and “very easy to drive”, attention was given to the brakes, axles and steering back in 2019, with all work carried out by McPheat Automotive. Offered with a comprehensive history file, comprising a copy of the original construction records, a very large selection of invoices, expired MOT certificates, a reprint instruction book and much more.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000*

Reg No: XBL 123H MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 1R35481

Triumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer’s reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type’s combination of all-round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. The range expanded with a 2+2 derivative joining the Coupe and Roadster and evolved through steady stages until the final Series 3 V12s bowed out in 1975.

Ordered as a manual transmission ‘two-plus-two Coupé in right-hand drive, chassis 1R35481 was built on the 7th of August 1969 , then distributed by Henlys in London, to Morris Garages of Newbury, Berkshire on 9th September 1969. ‘XBL’s’ first UK keeper took possession on the 19th January of 1970 and is one of just 1,040 right-hand drive home-market examples, possessing matching chassis and engine numbers and has seen much mechanical and cosmetic attention over the years.

Explaining its current condition and longevity, in 2011, ‘XBL’ was the subject of an extensive professional restoration. The 2011-2012 restoration utilised East Bilney Coachworks and Martin Robey Jaguar for parts; there are some photographs and invoices on file. In current ownership since 2018, ‘XBL’ has been maintained by classic Jaguar specialists CMC (Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth) and Moorland Classics of Stoke on Trent.

No expense has been spared during its current ownership, ensuring regular close professional attention has been paid to ‘XBL’ being maintained in first class roadworthy condition, and as such the E Type has only benefitted in that time. 2019 saw an inspection and service by CMC, repairs to the rear differential axle, anti-roll bar bushes, replacement of rear discs and brake pads and a re-set of the steering. Further work by CMC, in July of 2020, saw a top-end overhaul, it involved the stripping of the cylinder head, carburettors and manifold and timing gear, the removal of cams and the valves. The cylinder head was pressure tested with the valves machine-cut with new liners and buckets fitted. This included the fitment of a new oil pump, and a timing chain repair. Steering bearings, track rod ends and parking brake pads were replaced in 2021.

Other work rectified a shock absorber bolt rattle and an inoperative full beam. Moorland Classic Cars took over garage duties in May of 2022 and re-wired the ignition, adjusted and re-fitted the carburettors and replaced the fuel pump. In excess of £20,000 has been spent, to ensure that ‘XBL’ has been maintained in excellent condition up to the present day.

Offered with a collection of old invoices, including invoices for a top-end engine overhaul and photographs of the previous restoration, there is also a Jaguar Heritage division issue reproduction tool-kit and a battery isolator switch fitted. A Heritage Certificate is on file, along with an original Green logbook and the current V5C.

1953 Bentley R-Type Sports Special

Estimate: £80,000 - £90,000*

Reg No: PNU 920 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B25TO

Post-WWII Bentley enthusiasts, wanted a more raw Bentley performance experience, that post war marques offered. With values of Vintage Bentleys pricing the Bentley experience beyond many motoring enthusiasts, if you wanted a more visceral Bentley ownership experience, that excitement could only be found with a ‘built-not-bought’ philosophy. With garages filled with sleeping ‘standard steel’ saloons often rotten and uneconomical to repair and restore, there was the saviour in the form of an unbeatable chassis, designed to be married to an enthusiast’s vision, whatever it might have been, often more exciting, offering creative engineering, style and performance. ‘Specials’ created by privateers, based upon R-Type and Mark VI chassis, in particular, have been joined by a cottage industry of coachbuilders throughout the decades, all offering that more visceral, yet elegant journey to the pre-war age of Bentley performance.

Offered here is such an elegantly crafted R-Type Special, built with a love for the days of the pre-war Bentley. An experienced and highly skilled engineer, the previous owner had a history when it came to ‘Special’ builds, having previously fashioned a 250 GT in Short Wheelbase (SWB) from a Ferrari 250 GTE. His love of the marque as an enthusiast of the build process first and foremost. With an eye for the minutiae detail of his builds, the specification includes a newly manufactured short chassis and front cross member; Dunlop racing tyres on new 19” wire wheels; and the bonnet and grille from a 3½-litre Derby Bentley. The build called on the craftmanship of many hours in the workshop, shaping the aluminium bodywork and wings by hand. Inside the cockpit a suitably prewar-style environment utilising leather trim and original Bentley gauges and instruments, with two timing-clocks fitted.

With 4 years of work going into the project which was completed in 2021 ‘PNU 920’ has had little use since its completion and further checks and test runs are recommended to ensure that everything is bedded-in prior to being taken on the open roads.

UK supplied RHD example with excellent history

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: YB 6709 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 103789

An integral part of General Motors’ burgeoning empire during the 1920s, Buick was widely famed for the advanced engineering and durability of its products. Boosted by a series of high-profile exploits (including the first automotive expedition to Afghanistan - 1923), victory in the 1925 Leningrad-to-Moscow endurance trials, a tug of war with an elephant and patronage from the Sultan of Johore, the marque celebrated its 2,000,000 sale in 1926. Priced at between $1,195 and $2,425, that year’s six-cylinder model range boasted leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes, detachable cylinder-heads and threespeed centre-change manual transmission. Available with a choice of 16 different body styles, the Buick ‘Standard’ (3.4-litre) and longer wheelbase ‘Master’ (4.5-litre) Sixes were a cut above their Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge rivals and achieved a select following in Britain.

This charming and very rare 1926 26-24 Roadster was delivered new from Canada to Somerset in right-hand drive configuration to a Ralph Paganel Luttrell and seemingly stayed in his possession until 1948. ‘YB 6709’ then passed through the hands of Harold Courtney Burnell-Jones and Leslie Gordon Chapman before being acquired by Frank H. Maisey of Burnham-on-Sea during 1959. Part of the Maisey family for nearly four decades, the Roadster was in need of restoration by the time they finally parted company in 1996. Stripped to its bare chassis, the Buick was worked on by Smithy Engineering, Catcott Garage and TT Workshops and returned to Thomas Hamlin & Co for some engine work. However, much of the refurbishment was carried out by the owner and his son using parts ordered from Bob Cason of Holliston, Massachusetts. The restoration was completed in c.2003 to the tune of some £15,000 and the car enjoyed, until it was sold through H&H Classics at our Stoneleigh park sale in October 2008, and once again at the same venue in October 2010 to the current keeper.

Now having been in current ownership for approximately 13 years, this charming Buick is offered for sale through H&H Classics once more. Well looked after as part of a small, but regularly enjoyed collection, the history file that accompanies ‘YB 6709’ is a joy to read through. With too much included to note, highlights include a continuation buff logbook, VSCC eligibility document, copies of Buick Club of Canada magazines with one featuring the car offered for sale today on the cover, a photograph collage of the car prior to restoration dating back to 1959 and during restoration, with numerous photographs

since in various envelopes, various letters, previous MOT certificates, a small collection of previous tax discs, various instructional documents and articles etc.

Also included is a photocopied 1926 Buick Book of Parts for Standard Six Models, Photocopied 1926 Reference Book for Standard Six and Master Six, Buick Parts and Service Catalogue for 1922-1958, a 1928 Buick Shop manual, a large separate folder of invoices and literature for the restoration totalling some £15,000, and of course a large collection of previous receipts and invoices for parts and work undertaken throughout the car’s life.

Overall, this surely presents an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire an already rare Buick, UK supplied from new, well looked after and with a very pleasing history file.

1968 MG C Roadster

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: PRE 550F MOT: March 2024

Chassis No: GCN12940G

1 of just 1,403 home market cars and 87,500 recorded miles

Intended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MG C was introduced in autumn 1967 and powered by a 2912 cc OHV straight-six engine. A strong performer, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 10 seconds and 120mph. However, MG chose to axe the model in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs are understood to have been made.

First registered in the summer of 1968 (26th July, 1968), this is one of just one of just 1,403 home market MG Cs believed to have been produced and has had a large amount of money spent on it in the last 20 years, with limited mileage since. Finished in Dark Blue with a Black leather interior with a mohair hood, ‘PRE 550F’ was the subject of an extensive restoration some 20 years ago (a photographic record is available), with the work carried out to the exterior involving the fitment of new body panels and sills.

Mechanically, the engine has been overhauled, including a crank regrind, electronic ignition, high torque starter, alternator and electric fan, rewiring, new brake parts including pipes, hubs, drums, discs, springs and Gaz shockers, plus new wire wheels. The MG C also benefits from a Ford type 9 5-speed gearbox and electric power steering installed. The interior has also been renewed, including seats, door cards, carpets, inertia belts, hood with folding frame and half tonneau and a nice Motolita steering wheel to finish off. The boot area, including the spare wheel cover and hydraulic boot support, have also been carpeted. Since the restoration, the car has covered less than 10k miles. Circa 87,500 miles are recorded presently. This is a lovely, useable MG C, now available due to the octogenarian owner having health challenges. For a new custodian, there is a new MOT and new tyres have been fitted recently.

2001 BMW Z3 3.0 Roadster

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*

Reg No: Y949 UAN MOT: February 2024

Chassis No: WBACN52020LJ40703

Styled in-house by Jogi Nagashima, the BMW Z3 entered production in September 1995. Derived from the contemporaneous E36 3-Series Saloon (though, its semi-trailing arm rear suspension was courtesy of the earlier E30), the Roadster’s running gear included power-assisted rack and pinion steering, Macpherson strut independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by 1.8 or 1.9 litre four-cylinder engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission, larger capacity straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards. Boasting 52:48 weight distribution and a top speed of over 125mph, the stylish twoseater found fame as James Bond’s transport in the 1995 film Goldeneye. The 3.0 Z3 was the largest engine fitted to the Z3s other than the M-specification cars, with the production run only spanning the period of 2000 to 2002. Offered with both manual and automatic five-speed ZF transmissions, only 18,378 examples are thought to have been produced in both Coupe and Roadster specifications making the 3.0i one of the rarer variants of Z3 manufactured.

First registered in March of 2001, this Z3 is finished in Black with a complementing Black interior and a Black powered soft-top roof. Displaying c.98,000 miles, it presents as a very handsome and wellmaintained 3.0 Litre version of the Z3 and has had just 5 former keepers. Benefitting from new tyres all round and a new hood, interior comfort includes air conditioning and heated seats for those cool summer evening excursions on country roads. The fabulous specification includes headlamp washers and a wind deflector to cut down the buffeting. The Z3 arrives at the sale with a clear HPI report and ready for a new owner to enjoy. Offered with an MOT into February of 2024, original books, including the service book, containing main dealer and independent service records accompanied by a large and comprehensive service file.

1975 Triumph TR6

No Reserve*

Reg No: LCK 566N MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CR53410

Introduced in 1968, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that “Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man’s sports car in its own right”. The Petrol Injection CR Series offered the UK TR6 buyer 125bhp @ 5000rpm.

Offered here is a 1975 model year one-owner TR6 in Inca Yellow, which displays a credible 47,617 miles and is a one-owner car. The accompanying original Blue V5 and Passport to Service book reference the owner, Mr Bailey of Burnley and the supplying dealer Ratcliffe & Thornton Bros. Ltd. of Nelson.

It is a true garage find that is documented as being first registered on 2nd June 1975, the TR6 wears its last tax disc, dated September 1986 and has a 1985 MOT certificate on file, showing 43,551 miles. A CR Series model, it is believed to be fitted with the standard overdrive which operates on 3rd and 4th gears on the 1975 model, it rolls on steel wheels and is offered with the soft-top which has sat in situ since 1986. ‘LCK 566N’ is offered with an old V5 document, a Passport to Service, the 1986 MOT certificate and with the door and boot key present, however, the ignition key has been lost in the intervening 36 years.

2007 Chevron B1 MK2

No Reserve*

Reg No: DK07 NYA MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: B106T01FR16

A successful race preparation specialist, Derek Bennett was prompted to become a manufacturer in his own right by a commission from Brian Classick who agreed to fund the design of a Clubman Class racer. Christened the Chevron B1, Bennett’s initial creation was based around a compact tubular chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension (giving it an instant advantage over Colin Chapman’s benchmark Lotus 7 which utilised a ‘live’ rear axle). Weighing in at just 400kg and powered by a 1500cc Ford four-cylinder engine, the nominal two-seater won its debut event, a Formula Libre race, at Kirkistown on 3rd July 1965. A second example was soon completed allowing Bennett and Classick to dominate the rest of the season. Demand from fellow Clubman Class competitors saw Bennett ready a subtly revised B2 for 1966 (complete with fibreglass bodywork modelled on that of the B1).

Fast forward some forty years and the restoration of Brian Classick’s B2 inspired Chevron Racing Cars Ltd to come up with a roadgoing version of the marque’s first model. Devised by Steve Sheldon, a Chevron employee since 1968, the so-called B1 Mk2 was priced at £23,500 making it a thousand pounds cheaper than a Lotus Elise and considerably more expensive than a Caterham Seven Classic. Aping its predecessor, the newcomer featured a tubular chassis, all-round independent suspension and Ford power (a 1600cc SOHC RoCam unit) but with the advantage of a Toyota five-speed manual gearbox and GRP bodywork. Sadly, the project never took off with only two B1 Mk2s ever being completed. Road testing ‘DK07 NYA’ for The Telegraph on 8th December 2007, Tony Dron commented: “This was good old-fashioned motoring, but with the benefit of modern brakes and dampers, plus wider tyres that give far more grip than any road car knew in 1965”. Part of a private collection for the past four years, the Chevron is rated by the vendor as being in ‘very good’ (bodywork, paintwork) or ‘excellent’ (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim) condition.

1964 Volvo P1800 S

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: CLL 470B MOT: None

Chassis No: 8875

Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst working at Frua, the Volvo P1800 was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer’s sleek monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent front suspension, a coil-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, the 2+2 seater was capable of over 100mph. Initially manufactured in the UK, P1800 assembly was transferred to Sweden during April 1963. Best remembered as Roger Moore’s steed in ‘The Saint’ TV series which ran from 1962 until 1969, the stylish Volvo has long been a cult classic.

According to its ID tag, this rare, Swedish-built, ‘Cow Horn’ bumper P1800 S was originally finished in Graphite Grey with Red upholstery. First registered in London on February 3rd 1964 (or so its ‘CLL 470B’ number plate would imply), the Volvo’s early history is otherwise unknown. Acquired by its previous keeper for use on historic rallies, the Coupé was treated to quite some preparation work ahead of the 2006 Tatry Classic Marathon including a partial engine overhaul, installation of a sports exhaust, fitment of new sills, sundry bodywork repairs and attention to the ignition system etc. Enjoyed for various European sorties thereafter, the P1800 S has been kept garaged since its last MOT certificate expired on June 16th of 2016. The distinctive ‘Cow Horn’ bumpers accompany the car as do the rear seats and sundry spares. Running and driving when purchased by the vendor in August 2017, he has reluctantly decided that the Volvo is one restoration project too many at the moment. Nevertheless, he intends to install a new fuel tank and have the Coupé moving under its own power by the time of sale. A very worthwhile project and one we feel a competent amateur restorer could happily tackle, ‘CLL 470B’ is comes with a V5C Registration Document and history file.

1956 Land Rover Series I 88”

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: ODT 234E MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 111604855

Designed by Maurice Wilks in 1947, a Land-Rover rates highly on any list of the world’s most significant vehicles, and the earlier - and therefore purer - the better. By the 1957 model year, during which this example was made, weak points had been ironed out to bring the 4x4 to a specification that would last for decades. A simple ladder frame chassis, steel bulkhead and rugged square-formed aluminium panels created a strong workhorse for light industrial, countryside and military use alike. In 1954, 86-inch and 107-inch wheelbases were introduced, and by 1957, a ‘high-speed’ 2-litre diesel motor was added to the power options. This diesel engine necessitated Solihull lengthening the front part of the chassis, bringing the Landie to its 88-inch and 109-inch wheelbases which then ran until the introduction of coil springing in the mid 1980s. The 88” chassis was offered from mid-1956 model year, in preparation for the diesel variant.

A 1956 model year 88” Series I, it is understood to have been used by the military when new, likely explaining the recorded first date of first public registration being 1967 (1967 ‘E’ suffix); remnants of this 1956 Land Rover’s military service include the NATO ‘battery slave’ socket mounted on the rear panel. This petrol 88” Series Land Rover’s specification includes the small period Lucas lights, a bonnet mount for a spare wheel and has more recently benefitted from a new canvas top and recent tyres. Inside there is room for three up front on Green vinyl seats, with two useful inward facing rear benches in the load area. Also offered with a hardtop, this iconic early Series Land Rover is accompanied to the sale by a current V5C.

2004 Maserati 4200 GT

No Reserve*

Reg No: YJ04 TNM MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: ZAMBC38C000013494

Just as the DB7 did for Aston Martin, at a stroke, the 3200 rejuvenated the Maserati brand. Unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Show, the 177mph Maserati Coupé (a.k.a. 4200 GT) was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. A direct evolution of the 3200 GT, the 4200 GT Coupé was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002 and was a genuine four-seater powered by a normally aspirated, Ferrari-based engine, of 390bhp. Developing 385bhp/332lbft, its 4244cc V8 engine was allied to a six-speed transmission that could be had in conventional manual or ‘Cambiocorsa’ guises (the latter incorporating electrohydraulic assistance and F1-style steering wheel paddles).

This handsome right-hand drive example was manufactured in 2004 and is finished in striking Metallic Maserati Azzurro Argentina with interior upholstery trimmed in complementing Cream leather and Dark Blue carpets. Riding on 18-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels finished in Dark Grey, the specification includes electrically-controlled front seats and the power from the 4244cc V8 engine being transmitted through the desirable six-speed manual gearbox. Displaying just 38,000 miles on the odometer at the time of consignment, the 4200 GT has been in current registered ownership since 2012 and previous from 2009, with only four former keepers. ‘YJ04 TNM’ is now offered complete with its bookpack presented in the Maserati wallet including the handbook, service history records with JCT600 Ferrari & Maserati, MOT history, and a current V5C document. Supplied with two keys, the Maserati is surely is amazing value in today’s market.

1966 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: FRH 233D MOT:

Chassis No: MAW51128692

Exempt

Debuting alongside Jaguar’s superbly glamorous XK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Morris Minor was somewhat overshadowed. An exceptionally advanced design, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was reputedly capable of 77mph. From 1965, no further major production improvements were made to the Minor, with resources being channelled into improving the ADO16 (the Minor’s spiritual successor and Britain’s best-selling car in the 1960s), and development of the Morris Marina, which would succeed the Minor on the Cowley production lines in 1971.

One of the most enduring of our post-war classics has been the Alec Issigonis engineered Morris Minor. The great man’s basic concept and straightforward technical layout was spot-on, Minors not only being an economic proposition for the Morris bean counters to sanction their manufacturer, but also because private punters could afford to buy and run them in very large numbers over many years with relatively easy to achieve upgrades. Chassis number MAW51128692 was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 1st of January 1966. Finished in Old English White with a Red interior upholstery, and Red carpeting, the Morris is known to have had a comprehensive restoration in the early 2000s. The work completed included a full bodywork renovation with renewed wood and a mechanical overhaul. Showing just five former keepers on HPI and with a recorded 47,345 miles at the time of consignment, the Traveller is accompanied by a large selection of restoration images.

1969 MG B Roadster

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: MNB 445G MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN4161091G

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.

A MkII (’GHN4’ chassis numbers from 1967 onwards) MG B, it had a 5 main bearing engine with alternator, negative earth and, at last, received a new gearbox with synchromesh on all four forward speeds. Built in the winter of 1968-1969 ‘MNB’ was first registered in the UK on 11th March 1969. Current ownership has seen an extensive restoration of the Roadster over a two-year period. The extensive work carried out has involved an engine overhaul, which also had a full service, and the following: Externally ‘MNB’ benefitted from new panels, a repaint in Flame Red, new wheels and tyres, rechromed bumpers and a new soft-top. The interior refresh involved new Black seats, rewiring and a new dashboard. Mechanical work included a brake and suspension overhaul, an electric fan, and a Weber 45” DCOE carburettor. ‘MNB’ is offered with a collection of invoices from the MG B hive and the current V5C. This smart looking example is ready to be used and enjoyed.

1998 Lotus Elise S1

One owner and 22,000 miles from new

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: S163 TRJ MOT: November 2023

Chassis No: SCCGA1114WHC34758

Introduced at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Lotus Elise was a driver’s car par excellence. A paragon of lightness, agility, and responsiveness, its mid-mounted 1.8 litre K-Series engine produced a modest 118bhp and 122lbft of torque. Enthusiasts are already seeking out Series 1 cars (especially MMC equipped examples) as representing the purest incarnation of the Elise; a trend which seems bound to continue. Manufactured in 1998, the Series 1 Elise offered was purchased new by the vendor from Kinsey Jones Ltd Lotus/Maserati of Bury, being registered new 30th of November 1998. Having just one lady owner from new (although registered in her husband’s name), the Lotus has been coveted, covering a minimal 22,000 warranted miles from new. Presented in the handsome colour combination of New Aluminium Silver with a Black leather interior upholstery, and a complementing Red hood, the highly original Lotus boasts all of its factory paintwork. Passionate about the Elise, she has had it serviced regularly, with sixteen services documented across the original stamped service book and further invoices in the history file, with ‘S163 TRJ’ only being serviced by Kinsey Jones, Gordon Lamb Lotus and Steve McKie Sports Cars.

Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Elise has benefitted from a cambelt change less than 1,000 miles previous by Steve McKie Sports Cars, with some £776 worth of expenditure at Steve McKie in 2021, including a new stainless steel exhaust silencer. The accompanying history file contains the original bookpack with handbook, dealer directory and the aforementioned service book presented in the Lotus wallet, a large collection of invoices, over twenty MOT certificates including a no advisory MOT until November 2023 and a current V5C document showing no former keepers. Only coming to sale due to health constraints, this low mileage, one-owner Elise S1 has much to recommend it and would be a fantastic addition to a marque collection.

2002 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Only 48,000 miles

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: HF52 WUP MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB2304742F030798

Notable as the most powerful production car ever fielded by MercedesBenz upon its launch in 2002, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5 litre V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph.

An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following. Manufactured in 2002, the SL55 AMG offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered new on the 7th of October. Finished in special order Designo Mystic Red with Exclusive Designo Mystic Red, one-colour, leather seat upholstery and is rumoured to be the only SL55 finished in this colour scheme. Well specified from new, ‘HF52 WUP’ was supplied with Bi-Xenon headlamps, leather covered Mystic Red binnacles and gear selector, the premium sound system with CD changer and rear entertainment plus, front seats climate control, electric folding mirrors, and a high capacity battery from the factory, amongst more!

Lavished with over £7,000 worth of expenditure in 2021-2022, the Mercedes received a new condenser, brake remediation, air conditioning service, and a new battery, amongst further work. Offered for auction with just 48,000 miles on the odometer, the SL55 is accompanied by a history file that included the stamped service book and further service invoices which illustrate seven services, the most recent of which was completed around 1,000 miles ago. The history file further comprises documents relating to the period the car spent in Spain (2011-2013) with the fourth keeper, a collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates, a current V5C document, and is shod with premium Pirelli tyres all-round. Please note: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

1994 Rover Mini Cooper Monte Carlo

1 of just 200 Monte Carlo examples produced

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: M689 ENL MOT: December 2023

Chassis No: SAXXNNAYCBD093579

The Mini Cooper ‘Monte Carlo’ was a limited-edition of 200 cars built in early 1994 to celebrate Paddy’s return to Monaco and was based upon the Mini Cooper 1.3i. The ‘Monte Carlo’ was given two special exterior colours (Flame Red and Black only), special badges, a special Red and Cream interior with Monte Carlo specific details, four auxiliary lamps at the front, and 12-inch Minilite-style alloy wheels.

‘M689 ENL’ is one of just 60 of the Monte Carlo limited editions to be finished in Black and was supplied new via Mill Garages Rover Centre of West Bolden, Tyne and Wear. Pressed into service during its early life, the accompanying service book and MOTs illustrate that the Mini covered some 40,000 miles by January 2001. Acquired by the vendor in 2016 from a friend in the Mini club (who had owned the car since 2011), the Mini has been cosseted by the vendor ever since. Only 500 miles have been covered while in the vendors custodianship, and during dry weather, with the odometer now showing just 58,200 miles from new. Following rusting on the scuttle panel, the vendor decided to provide the Cooper with whole front-end refresh (to negate the chasing of rust), with new wings, scuttle, A-panel, and grill surround all provided, and the renewed panel work professionally repainted.

Accompanied to sale by a history file that contains the original bookpack which includes the owner’s handbook and stamped service book. The latter illustrates twelve services, with almost all from Rover main agents and Mini centres. The file further comprises additional invoices for servicing and work completed, fifteen MOTs certificates including a no advisory certificate until December 2023, and a current V5C document. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-presented example of the limited-production Monte Carlo edition, with low mileage from new. Please note: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

1926 Rolls-Royce 20hp Doctor’s Coupé

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: NE 7996 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GOK47

Unveiled in 1922, the 20hp was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow - a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis with a 129-inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by which time some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph.

First registered in Manchester as ‘NE 7996’ on 21st May 1926 and entrusted to local firm Cockshoot & Co. Ltd for the fitment of the ‘Doctor’s Coupé’ coachwork, Cockshoot order 1044, ‘Coupé Limousine’ on the build records, consisted of a ‘fixed leather back and top’. The car was one of the earlier 4-speed models. Order with a ‘luggage grid, steel artillery wheels, spare wheel to the nearside’, it had two seats and a rear Dickie seat. The first ownership was with a Mr Alan Macbeth Esq. of Broadway, The Firs, Bowdon, Cheshire. During the period 1930-1931, there are records from Rolls-Royce and Mr Macbeth’s ownership, showing repairs, including accident repairs to the car, a new starter motor retainer and a new exhaust system.

On the 8th of July 1931, Mr E.H. Smith became the custodian of chassis GOK47, before Preston Rural District Council acquired the vehicle in December of 1940, purposed to be part of the war effort at home. Allocated, appropriately enough given its body style, to a GP so that he could do his rounds and later converted into an ambulance, the Rolls-Royce survived World War Two with a Theodor Prock taking possession of the ‘Ambulance’ in 1947 for his Tudor Barn Garage in Preston, having it converted to a ‘Goods Van’. In 1947 the logbook records a change from ‘ambulance’ class to ‘goods van’. There is a photograph on file, showing the discarded ambulance body with the ‘Tudor Barn Garage’ and ‘Breakdown’ script also sign-written on the side.

With ownership passing to a Mr McTighe of Moston, Manchester in 1975, the 20hp was seen at the premises of John Buckley & Co, Moss Mill, Royton, Oldham, being returned to its original configuration. The completely new body utilised what could be salvaged. The screen pillars were of Cockshoot’s own design of cast brass, and along with the screen rail, were in perfect condition after 50 years. In 1994 it is documented to have been

converted to a Drophead by John Bradshaw. Passing between four keepers resident in Worcestershire, Lancashire and Cheshire over the next thirty years, the Doctor’s Coupe entered the current ownership during 2005. Relocating to Oxfordshire and christened ‘Rosie R’, the Rolls-Royce has transported the vendors all over Britain as well as to Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Finland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and Holland.

Numerous rallies and club events have been documented since 2006. Judged ‘Best Car in Show’ at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club’s 2008 South of England Rally. The most recent was an appearance at the RREC event at Burghley House in 2019. Since the pandemic, the 20hp has been more sparingly used. Coupe Limousine to Ambulance, to goods van, Coupe to Drophead, ‘NE 7996’, pleasingly, is understood to retain its original engine and still rides on artillery wheels, sports a Dickie seat and retains the headlamp dipping mechanism. Apparently well-documented in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry’s archive (photos and drawings on file), this delightful 20hp is offered for sale with the V5C Registration Document, a buff logbook, RREC copy chassis records and sundry other paperwork.

1971 Fiat 124 Sport Coupé

Chassis No: 124BC10160168

Presented in the desirable combination of Red with a contrasting Black leather interior, This particular BC series Fiat 124 Sport Coupé boasts an impressive specification including Cromodora alloy wheels with chrome centres, Hella spot lamps, full leather seats with headrests, rear windshield electric defrosting and an electric starter motor. Having been brought to the UK from Sweden in 2017, ‘OEY 701J’ was purchased by its current owner after having been made aware of the car in February 2018 by classic specialist garage Retromarques, whom he used for works on some of his other cars. After being offered the car, the vendor instructed them to complete a full inspection. The sale was agreed and at that same time, Retromarques were instructed to perform all works necessary to ensure the car was in perfect running order. The carburettors were fettled, with leakages remedied, the fuel pump replaced with new hoses, the engine mounts replaced, thermostat replaced and further minor fettling was also undertaken. The total cost of these works was £1,751. Over his ownership, the car has been stored in a dry garage along with a number of other enviable classics and modern classics and enjoyed occasionally, with works undertaken as required. More recently, in October 2022, the car was subject to a replacement rear brake caliper as it was sticking and in December 2022 the car benefited from a replacement electric starter motor and the carburettors re-tuned and balanced at a total cost of £541. Now offered for sale as the vendor is reducing his collection, ‘OEY 701J’ is offered with a small collection of receipts and invoices from its time in Sweden, a collection of invoices and receipts from its time in the UK, a wiring diagram and the V5C document which displays 1 former keeper.

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*

Reg No: S123 MPA MOT: November 2023

Chassis No: ZAR9370003230569

The Alfa Romeo 147 GTA is a compact executive car that was introduced in 2002 as a high-performance variant of the 147 model. This vehicle was engineered with a focus on delivering a dynamic driving experience, leveraging a range of advanced technologies to achieve superior performance and handling.

What makes this particular car rather interesting in addition to the factory specification is that it was sold new by the vendor some 19 years ago through Fish Brothers, and is now offered for sale once more. Having averaged just 6,157 miles per year on average with a new keeper every two, the car is now showing c.117,112 miles on the odometer.

Accompanied with the vehicle is a history file dating back as far as the Pre-delivery inspection. The Alfa Romeo book pack is included, which contains a number of manuals including the service book, which contains a number of stamps. 26 service receipts are included within the history file, with the most recent less than 3000 miles ago, at 114,040 miles. A number of previous MOT certificates are also included, as well as the current V5C document which displays 10 former keepers. An MOT is valid on the vehicle until November 2023, but the vendor informs us that the vehicle will come with a new MOT prior to sale for peace of mind to any potential buyers.

1975 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

From the estate of Rolls-Royce & Bentley historian the late Bernard L. King

Estimate: £17,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: HDY 740N MOT: Exempt Chassis No: SRH21051

Launched in 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a bold departure for the Crewe company. Their first monocoque design, it also benefited from olio-pneumatic rear suspension, power disc brakes and GM’s silken 400 series automatic gearbox (though, the latter was not adopted until 1968). Such ‘new technology’ did not encroach on the luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets. Performance from the smooth 6,230cc V8 engine (upgraded to 6750cc in 1970) was assured, the car wafting forward on a seemingly unstoppable wave of torque. Still immensely cosseting to drive, Shadows offer a genuinely different ownership experience to their mass-produced peers.

‘SRH 21051’, a wonderfully original and late Series I Silver Shadow, was delivered to its first owner on the 12th of March 1975 by Rolls-Royce dealer Caffyns of Eastbourne. Finished in Pewter with Off-White fine lines, the interior was trimmed in thick and supple Light Blue Connolly Vaumol hides with Ambla headlining and Mountain Blue Wilton carpets and over mats. In 1983, the car was purchased with just 10,000 miles on the odometer by Mr Paul Veenhuijzen, a well-known BDC member with his own Bentley 4 ½ litre and S2 Continental H.J. Mulliner 2-door Coupe, on behalf of Mr. H. Flynn who was stationed in Nigeria at that time. Mr Flynn used the Shadow whenever he visited the UK and in 2015 took it with him to Italy. From 1983 until the car was exported it was kept meticulously maintained by Rolls-Royce & Bentley specialist Sargeants of Goudhurst. In 2019, the prominent Rolls-Royce historian Bernard L. King was looking to replace his Bentley R-type Hooper Empress Saloon with something a bit more modern. After a long search he decided that ‘SRH 21051’ was up to his high standards and agreed to swap his Bentley for this Royce. Bernard was famous for his extremely detailed knowledge on Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars and is considered the foremost ‘listologist’ for both marques, compiling chassis lists for each and every type ever built up to the end of the SZ production run. He was the author and publisher of, amongst many others, the Complete Classics series of books and contributed to countless other publications on both marques. Having both a Bentley Continental R and this Silver Shadow in his collection, he decided that the Bentley was great for everyday enjoyment and the Shadow should be kept in low-mileage condition and used for those occasions when he travelled with three or more passengers, usually to RREC events such as the North of England Rally. As could be expected of Bernard, his attention to detail also extended to the maintenance of his cars.

Having covered an incredible and documented 42,000 miles in the hands of just six keepers, this Rolls-Royce comes with its original and complete toolkit, and a thick history file containing invoices, old V5s and MOTs dating back to 1983. Excitingly, the original handbook folder is also still with the car, comprising the handbook, a service handbook and a second set of (valet) keys. Still presenting exceptionally well, with a virtually unmarked interior and an exterior which shows only a few tiny blemishes, this late Shadow I is one of the nicest examples we’ve seen in a very long time and comes with the distinction of having been owned by one of the foremost Rolls-Royce historians in the world. Bernard L. King knew his cars and handpicked this Shadow for his own collection. What better recommendation could a Shadow get?

1994 Bentley Continental R

From the estate of Rolls-Royce & Bentley historian the late Bernard L. King

Estimate: £27,000 - £33,000*

Reg No: KIW 58 MOT: July 2023 Chassis No: RCH52116

The Continental R, code-named ‘Nepal’ by the engineering department, was designed and built entirely at Crewe. It filled the space left by the Camargue, sharing with that model an eye-watering list price. When launched in 1991, the initial press release had the price as £160,000, only for that to be tweaked upwards to £175,000 soon afterwards, when the new VAT rate was announced in that year’s budget. The sleek shape benefitted from work in the wind tunnel; the windscreen was raked to lower the vehicle’s drag coefficient, enhancing fuel consumption, lowering wind noise and raising the model’s top speed. It is said that when the model was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the assembled audience broke out into spontaneous applause, with the Geneva Show car being sold to the Sultan of Brunei on the spot! Riding on 16-inch wheels with low profile Avon tyres, the new Continental R was powered by the company’s revered 6750cc V8 engine, now using a new four-speed GM automatic transmission The 325bhp turbocharged power unit would offer a near 150mph top speed and somehow heave Bentley’s 2.4-tonne bulk to 60mph in just over six seconds.

‘RCH 52116’, a wonderfully original and desirable pre-facelift Continental R with the more powerful engine compared to the first examples, was delivered to its first owner on the 1st of January 1994 by Rolls-Royce & Bentley dealer Appleyard Rippon of Leeds. With the car finished in a deep and lustrous Wildberry Mica, the special order interior was trimmed in Wildberry Connolly hides with Parchment piping, seat inserts and roof lining, complemented by WIldberry Wilton carpets and over mats. In 2015, after several years of trying to find the right Continental R to add to his personal collection, prominent RollsRoyce & Bentley historian the late Bernard L. King finally stumbled upon ‘RCH 52116’. He was the author and publisher of, amongst many others, the Complete Classics series of books and contributed to countless other publications on both marques. Famed for his extremely detailed knowledge on Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars and considered the foremost ‘listologist’ for both marques, compiling chassis lists for each and every type ever built up to the end of the SZ production run, Bernard knew a special car when he saw one. He had always wanted a Wildberry Bentley but wasn’t a fan of the all-parchment interiors these were usually ordered with. ‘RCH 52116‘, with its special order Wildberry interior turned out to be exactly what he’d been looking for and the purchase was soon made. Since entering into Bernard’s ownership in July 2015, The Continental R has been kept well maintained by Rolls-Royce & Bentley specialists Hillier Hill and Starmans with a

stack of invoices on file to show the level of detail. Having both this Bentley Continental R and a 1974 Silver Shadow in his collection, Bernard decided that the Bentley was great for everyday enjoyment and the Shadow should be kept for special occasions. As could be expected of Bernard, his attention to detail also extended to the maintenance of his cars.

Having only covered 64,500 miles in the hands of just eight former keepers, this Continental R comes with its original and complete toolkit, and a thick history file containing invoices, old V5s and MOTs. Excitingly, the original handbook folder is also still with the car, comprising the handbook, a service handbook and two sets of keys, including the old remote locking controls. The icing on the cake comes in the shape of a Limited Edition reproduction (No. 150 of 500) of a watercolour by Michael Schuppan, depicting the Geneva Motorshow Continental R at the models introduction, with compliments of RollsRoyce & Bentley historian Paul Leszczar. Still presenting exceptionally well, with a very nice interior and an exterior that shows only a few areas of corrosion, this Continental R comes with the distinction of having been owned by one of the foremost Rolls-Royce & Bentley historians in the world. What better provenance could one ask for?

1962 Rover P4 95

No Reserve*

Reg No: 868 IW MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 76000137A

Introduced in 1962, the more popular of the two P4 models (95 and 110), the Rover 95, was based around a sturdy box-section chassis equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Panhard rod located ‘live’ rear axle and hydraulic disc / drum brakes. Boasting a sevenbearing crankshaft, its smooth 2625cc straight-six engine was rated at 102bhp and 140lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed manual gearbox and powering the rear wheels via a 3.9:1 final drive ratio, it reputedly endowed the dignified-looking saloon with a 93mph top speed. Exchanging its aluminium bonnet, boot and door skins for less dent-prone steel ones during 1964, the Rover 95 was phased out of production in May of that year, although, not before some 3,680 had been sold.

This lovely Rover P4 95 was originally delivered to Rover dealer Charles Hurst Ltd of Belfast, Northern Ireland in October 1962 and registered to its first owner on the 8th of February 1963. Finished in Steel Blue with a sumptuous Red leather interior, ‘868 IW’ is believed to have only had four registered owners in Northern Ireland, all living within 50 miles of the supplying dealer. Acquired by the current vendor in July 2017, this P4 still sports its original supplying dealer dash plaque as well as the rear window sticker and presents very well with nice chrome, good paintwork and a lovely, mellowed leather interior which is believed to be completely genuine. The car starts well and run very smoothly with the vendor stating that it drives very well indeed. Offered with a big history file containing a recent V5C, an old style Green logbook, sheafs of invoices for work done, old MOT’s and two sets of keys, ‘868 IW’ is ready to give a new owner lots of motoring pleasure.

1973 Triumph TR6

Estimate: £26,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: TYP 747M MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CR23720

Manufactured in 1973, this desirable home-market example was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 14th of August that year. Acquired by the vendor in 2007 having been with the former keeper since 1987, the TR6 was a full restoration project, after 15 years stored in a garage. Waiting behind a number of other restoration projects, the professional restoration began in 2019.

‘TYP 747M’ was completely stripped down, with the body removed from the chassis and treated to a full bodywork restoration, with new panels and metalwork grafted in as required. The engine was entirely overhauled to 150bhp specification including an unleaded head new valves and valve guides, and a reconditioned fuel injection metering unit fitted (with 12 months warranty). Meanwhile, the chassis was comprehensively refurbished and fitted with all new and renovated brakes and suspension components. The refurbished wheels (shod with new tyres) were fitted, and with the chassis back rolling, the bodyshell, now repainted in beautiful and striking Blue Metallic paintwork, was reunited with chassis. The remainder of the renewed running gear (with extensive new parts incorporated) was reunited with the TR6, including a new clutch and overhauled gearbox. The interior was refitted with new carpets, restored dashboard and steering wheel, and early MX5 seats trimmed in Grey were sourced to provide comfort while being of an in-keeping style to the car. A new Black hood, from Prestige Hoods, was provided and the frame renovated, while the accompanying hardtop was restored and painted body-colour. Completed in late March 2023, the final tweaks and details were still being completed upon our photography session in early April.

Running very well, with working overdrive, during our drive to the photography session, less than 20 miles have been covered since the completion of the restoration. Offered for sale with approximately 650 images documenting the restoration (which can be sent to interested parties on email), ‘TYP 747M’ is an exciting opportunity to acquire a freshly and professionally restored TR6 in a delightful colour combination and from two periods of concurrent long-term ownership.

1971 MG B Roadster

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: GPH 902K MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: GHN5252086G

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.

Despatched new to the supplying dealer on the 30th of June 1971, ‘GPH 902K’ was supplied to its first owner via Wadham Stringer Limited of Guildford. Specified from new with overdrive, a heater, a tonneau cover, and seatbelts, the MG was provided extensive restoration works by Maidstone Sports Cars in 2007. The work completed comprised fitting of an unleaded Ivor Seale balanced engine with a new water pump and oil cooler; an overhauled gearbox and overdrive unit; repainting; new chrome wire wheels; renewed front wheel hubs and new rear hubs; electronic ignition; and further enhancements, with the invoices on file from Maidstone Sports Cars (for 2007) surpassing £7,500 alone. The improvements have not stopped there however, with ‘GPH 902K’ benefitting from a new mohair hood in 2015 (supplied by MGOC Spares), further repainting by Sussex Coachworks also in 2015 (images on file), new door cards and fittings in 2017, and overhauled rear wheel hubs in 2019. Having now covered some 13,000 miles since the restoration works in 2007, the Roadster was recently acquired by its registered keeper from a well-known MG dealership, but due to mobility issues, is now back up for sale. Boasting a large history file, the documentation comprises a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a vast collection of invoices dating back to the 1990s, a large selection of past MOT certificates, images of the most recent paintwork, and a current V5C document. Recently completing a 200 miles journey without issue, and said to have drove ‘very well’, the MG is ready to be used and enjoyed by a new owner!

2003 Mercedes-Benz

320 ‘Brabus’

No Reserve*

CLK

Reg No: VO52 EOG MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB2084652T137077

Born from a long line of elegant two-door Mercedes-Benz coupes, the CLK320 was introduced to the UK during July 1997. Longer and lower than the C-Class saloon on which it was based, the newcomer was styled after a 1993 concept car. Notable as Mercedes’ first V6, the overhead-cam unit boasted three valves per cylinder. With a quoted 218bhp and 228lbft on tap, the CLK320 was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds and 150mph. Despite such performance, government figures suggested that 28mpg was achievable on the combined cycle. Generously equipped, the Elegance model came with air-conditioning, alarm / immobiliser, electric windows, tinted glass, twin front / side airbags and an eight-speaker stereo system as standard.

Beginning life as a CLK 320 Cabriolet, chassis WDB2084652T137077 was built by Brabus on the 13th of December 2002 to order number 20232795, being supplied new via County Brabus of Cheltenham. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic with Black Alcantara and leather interior upholstery, and a Black hood. The package fitted is understood to have comprised: Brabus badging, Brabus split-rims, exhaust system, and extensive interior upgrades with steering wheel, pedals, kick-plates, floor mats and badging. Further specified from new with air-conditioning, front seat heaters and memory package, rain sensor, Avantgarde equipment package, xenon headlamps, and Parktronic system.

In current registered ownership since 2016, the CLK has had just four former keepers and has covered some 120,000 miles at the time of consignment. The accompanying history file contains the bookpack including the handbook and service book presented in the MercedesBenz wallet, with the service book illustrating ten service entries, with the most recent service completed around 1,000 miles ago. Also included in the documents file are a selection of previous MOT certificates and a current V5C document. Temptingly offered without reserve, the roof was not operating at the time of consignment but is due to be fixed for sale, and the Mercedes-Benz is anticipated to be offered with a fresh MOT certificate.

1978 Kougar Sport Jaguar

The oldest known surviving example in Europe

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: VRV 59 MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: 005/05-77RS

In the late 1970s, and Englishman named Rick Stevens set out to build a car of his own based on the legendary British sports cars of the early post-war era, such as Frazer Nash, Allard and H.R.G. These were, after all, the cars of his childhood but they were scarce, sometimes fragile, and likely more than he could afford. So, he decided to build his own version of the classic road-racer but using more modern components. Stevens paired up with the legendary engineers Dick Crosthwaite and John Gardiner (of the now iconic firm Crosthwaite & Gardiner) to design and build his dream sports car.

The 1970s was the age of the kit car, with any variety of cheap fiberglass likeness being built to sit atop a VW or some other similarly ubiquitous chassis, usually with extremely dubious results. There were dozens of manufacturers in the game offering conversions and full bodies to build any type of machine imaginable. Thankfully, Mr. Stevens opted to take a more traditional, British cottage-industry approach. With the help of his engineering consultants, he designed a tubular chassis which accepted the four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and running gear from Jaguars. The Kougar, as it would become known, was immediately set apart from the sea of cheap kits thanks to its high-quality construction and sophisticated Jaguar running gear. In terms of styling, the body, cycle arches and distinctive radiator grille were inspired by the Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica of 1950, but given a more curvaceous look on the low-slung chassis. The Kougar had a cut-down cockpit with minimal weather protection and a business-like dash that featured a full array of Jaguar instrumentation. While some cars were offered in kit form, most were constructed at the works as this car was designed from the ground up for serial production and finished to a high standard. Today, they are classics in their own right, and a handful of lucky enthusiasts have been able to experience the thrill the Kougar Jaguar Sports can deliver.

Chassis number 005/05-77RS was the fifth Kougar Sports manufactured and was the first to be supplied new to the United Kingdom. Sold in ‘kit’ form and built by Peter Dalberg of Buxted Motors to feature in his showroom, it was initially registered ‘WYJ 976S’ before later being re-registered as ‘VRV 59’. The oldest known survivor to the owner’s club, the car was featured in the first Kougar Sports sales brochure. Fitted with a 4.2-litre Jaguar straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the Jaguar donor car had covered some 54,000 miles while transferred into the Kougar in 1978. The engine was subsequently fully overhauled and balanced in the late 1980s with a lightened flywheel

and crankshaft, and another 20,000 miles covered in Kougar form since. Entering the vendors ownership in 1991, ‘VRV 59’ has had just three former keepers.

Benefitting from extensive mechanical improvement recently, the Kougar’s engine was further refreshed, receiving a new oil pressure sender, plugs, points, and condenser, high-torque starter motor, overhauled carburettors, electric choke, cam-cover gaskets, water hoses, and flushing and servicing. New master and slave cylinders were fitted and the radiator re-cored. Treated also to new brake discs and pads, a full clutch kit, new Spax shock absorbers and ball joint rubbers, four new tyres and a fresh battery, the Kougar is due to be provided with a twelve MOT certificate in time for sale. Accompanied by a fitted car cover and tonneau cover, as well as a spare wheel which is stowed behind the seats, ‘VRV 59’ is supplied with a copy of ‘The History of Kougar Sports Cars’ by Amy Robbs and Paul Biggs, correspondence with the Kougar owners club, and a current V5C document.

1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000*

Reg No: SND 579 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: SWA204

Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud was based on a completely new closed boxsection frame that was reputedly fifty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. The newcomer’s elegant Standard Steel Saloon body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, the proportions of which belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in. Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke coachwork, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering. Powered by an alloy-headed, 4887cc straight-six engine mated to 4-speed automatic transmission, the model utilised servo-assisted drum brakes allround. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and featured a live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Changes introduced in 1956 included the incorporation of twin brake master cylinders and the options of power steering and air conditioning. A test by Motor magazine in 1956 recorded a top speed of 102.9mph and a time of 13.5 seconds for the 0-60mph dash.

First registered in January of 1956, the supplying dealer of ‘SND’ was Joseph Cockshoot and Co. Ltd of Manchester, a former coachbuilder of Rolls Royce cars themselves some years previous. Finished in Maroon with Grey and a red leather-trimmed interior, the DVLA records just two former keepers of this elegantly presenting Silver Cloud on the V5C Registration Document. Prior to the current ownership the previous keeper had ownership from April 1982.

In current ownership for some 30 years, since 1993, the Cloud’s odometer displays some 52,000 miles. ‘SND’ was restored by the vendor in 1995, with a photographic record of the restoration on file with the car. Testament to the quality of the 1995 restoration, the car was entered into concours events and was indeed successful, winning the Silver Cloud class at the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club’s rally at the time. Further classic car event class wins and accolades came ‘SND’s’ way over the years. We are told by the vendor that ‘SND’ was honoured to have been chosen to be displayed at Rolls-Royce’s museum in Crewe.

The Silver Cloud was the subject of a service with an independent specialist some 6 months ago. Accompanying the car are the Bentley build records on file. It is also offered at auction with old MOT documents dating back to 1981 and the original handbook with heater instruction cards and automatic gearbox booklets.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: LCL 140A MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 30867S117634

“One glance at the new Corvette tells you that it is faster and sportier than its predecessors. And when you drive a Corvette Sting Ray, either the Convertible or the fastback Sport Coupe, you find that excitement is far more than skin deep” (Car & Driver, October 1962). Arguably the most iconic Corvette, the ‘Sting Ray’ (or C2) variant was introduced for the 1963 model year. Heavily influenced by GM Design Chief Bill Mitchell’s XP-87 ‘Sting Ray’ racer not to mention Chevrolet’s striking XP-720 fastback prototype, the newcomer’s styling was primarily credited to Larry Shinoda. A clean sheet design, the C2’s ladderframe chassis sat on an 8ft 2in wheelbase and featured five cross members, all-round independent suspension (a Corvette first) and large-diameter drum brakes. Differing states of tune and a choice between carburetion and fuel injection meant that the small block 327 cu in V8 engine fitted to all debut season ‘Sting Ray’ cars was quoted as developing anywhere from 250hp – 360hp. Although the two-seater could be specified with automatic transmission, some eighty percent of customers chose the more responsive four-speed manual gearbox. Thanks to the efforts of Zora Arkus-Duntov, Kai H. Hansen, Carl C. Jakust, H.F. Barr and E.J. Premo, the ‘Sting Ray’ was not only lower, narrower and shorter than its forebear but also faster, better balanced and more aerodynamic. Priced at $4,037 and $4,252 respectively, the ‘63 Convertible and Sport Coupe accounted for some 21,513 sales (10,919 open vs. 10,594 closed).

Manufactured in St Louis, Missouri, during the third week of June 1963 and originally finished in Riverside Red with Black upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example – chassis number 30867S117634 – was imported to the UK during 2009. Upgraded at some stage with a later Chevrolet 350 cu in (5.7 litre) V8 engine, the Convertible is understood to have been treated to a ‘body off, chassis up’ restoration by Bob Malcolm. A leading light in the Classic Corvette Club UK for many years, Mr Malcolm become known for his expertise with C2 and C3 models. Indeed, when his obituary appeared in the CCCUK magazine it included a photograph of him proudly holding a trophy beside ‘LCL 140A’. Subject to some engine bay dress work and fettling of its uprated brakes and suspension in 2019, the Sting Ray has more recently formed part of an impressive private collection. Thought to be running a performance camshaft, the vendor tells us that the ‘Vette possesses an impressive turn of speed even in comparison to its thoroughbred Italian stablemates.

Riding on a new set of Torque Thrust alloys shod with fresh tyres and sporting a desirable ‘Stinger’ hood / bonnet, ‘LCL 140A’ remains highly presentable. Among the nicer C2s we have encountered, it is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document and history file.

1937 Bentley 4.25 Litre Tourer

Formerly the property of the Rt Hon Alan Clark MP

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000*

Reg No: CS 6856 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B30LS

Supplied new to Miss Marjorie A Smith with HJ Mulliner Sports Saloon coachwork. Rebodied as a Sports Tourer by Edmunds of Plymouth in 1960. Subsequently owned by the renowned car collector and Tory MP, Alan Clark. Treated to over £110,000 worth of work between 2017-2021 including an engine overhaul plus attention to the steering, brakes, wiring and suspension.

Unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races, the Derby Bentley was underpinned by a ‘double dropped’ chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a more potent version of its Rolls-Royce 20/25 sibling’s 3669cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was soon christened the ‘Silent Sportscar’. Responding to increased competition from the likes of Alvis and Lagonda, Bentley gave its customers the option of a larger 4257cc engine during the 1936 season. Priced at £50, a comparatively modest sum compared to the cost of a basic chassis, the new unit proved so popular that the smaller capacity powerplant was soon dropped. Nicely balanced to begin with, the Derby Bentley chassis proved more than capable of handling the extra power and torque. Just 1,241 4.25 Litre cars were completed before the outbreak of World War Two curtailed production.

Supplied new to Miss Marjorie A. Smith during November 1937 complete with H.J. Mulliner Sports Saloon coachwork, chassis B30LS is understood to pleasingly retain its original factory-fitted engine, H2BF. Surviving World War Two, the Bentley was reportedly rebodied as a rakish two-door Sports Tourer by Edmunds of Plymouth in 1960. Belonging to arch car enthusiast and MP, the Rt Hon Alan Clark, some three decades later, he spent circa £25,000 with Ristes of Nottingham having the running gear overhauled. A passionate motoring enthusiast, Clark bought his first car, a 6½-litre Bentley, while still at Eton. He went on to deal in classic and Vintage cars, amassing an impressive collection of Bentleys while also writing columns for Thoroughbred & Classic Cars magazine in the UK and Road & Track in the USA. He later recounted his motoring exploits in a book entitled Backfire: A Passion for Cars and Motoring.

Purchased by its preceding custodian for £87,360 on 11th May 2016, he lavished an additional £110,000 on the four-seater between 2017 and 2021. The vast of the majority of the work was carried out by marque specialist Glen A. Grindrod of Essex and included a new cylinder head, thorough engine overhaul (renewed white metal bearings, +30thou

pistons) and attention to the radiator, fuel system, ignition system, steering, suspension, wiring, brakes and wheels. The Classic Coachwork Company of Essex reprofiled the wings and fettled the bonnet, while restored headlights, new ‘gothic’ rear lights and sundry replated brightwork enhanced the Sports Tourer’s appearance. Further benefiting from the fitment of a Payne overdrive during 2019, that same year saw ‘CS 8656’ complete the inaugural Rally The Globe (Carrera Iberia) event.

Only coming to market because the vendor wishes to downsize his collection, the Bentley started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Equipped with a hood, sidescreens and tonneau cover, this handsome Sports Tourer has much to recommend it. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Hooper Limousine

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: CBJ 500 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GAN36

25/30 chassis number GAN36 was delivered to Hooper and Co. (Coachbuilders) Ltd in Suffolk on 5th October 1936. It was destined to be clothed as an Enclosed Limousine, a ‘6/7 seater’ with a long wheelbase body and subsequently enter the ownership of Sir Thomas Vere Sherlock Gooch, 10th Baronet of Clewer Park on 4th February 1937. 1975 correspondence on file, between then owner, a Kenneth Brough of Penrith, and the Baronet’s son, Colonel Sir Robert E. S. Gooch BT., D.S.O. on behalf of his father, confirms previous ownership of ‘CBJ’. In the letter, the Colonel states he was pleased that ‘CBJ’ was ‘still in good condition’ and comments it was finished in its original Blue with a Red line’ throughout family ownership.

Accompanying buff and Green logbooks document further ownership in the West, the South and, more recently, the North of England, George Hudson & Sons of Bridge Street, Carlisle being the 4th change of keeper from 1966, and, from what we can gather, beginning a long period of ownership in Cumbria. The next custodian was a Stanley Robson of Wetheral, Carlisle in 1970 before coming into the ownership of the aforementioned Kenneth Brough of Penrith in August 1976.

Entering the ownership of the Henderson family some years later, the Enclosed Limousine, affectionately referred to as ‘Mary’ (noted on one of the invoices), benefitted from much work, with attention to the engine and bodywork over the years of their custodianship, up to the present day. Since the early 2000s, paperwork and photographs have been retained and confirms restoration work, including an extensive restoration by The Carrosserie Company (UK) Ltd at a cost of some £45,000. Finished in Black over Cream today, we are advised it drives and presents ‘really well’. Accompanied by the 1975 correspondence, ‘CBJ’ is also offered with copies of the build cards, restoration photographs, old MOT documentation, the old logbooks and the current V5C.

1989 Jaguar XJR-S 5.3

No Reserve*

Reg No: F547 UVX MOT: August 2023

Chassis No: SAJJSAEW3BA156206

Registered new in 1989, and supplied to the home market, this XJR-S is finished in Solent Blue Metallic with Magnolia leather upholstery. The previous 86-year-old owner purchased the Jaguar in 2006 and exporting it to Spain in 2008, where it resided in his small private classic car collection for thirteen years. During this time the car was stored in his multi-car garage, the engine was started regularly, basic servicing was carried out, and a new headlining was fitted. Repatriated by the vendor in April 2021, with now seven former keepers recorded, unsurprisingly, the XJR-S needed some recommissioning work, which comprised, but was not limited to, electrical faults, exhaust gases leaks, faulty wiper motor replaced, and four new premium tyres fitted (the latter costing well over £600).

Additionally, in the boot is a spares package containing new front, rear, and handbrake pads; two rear brake discs; fuel filter; Jaguar grille and bonnet badges; twelve new spark plugs; and the original wiper motor. The odometer reads 99,099 miles but is currently inoperative, and the vendor is advised that this is probably due to a faulty transducer. The vendor is advised that the chassis is sound with no apparent evidence of any worrying rust corrosion anywhere, with the V12 engine runs well, holding good oil pressure and with smooth gear changes. The upholstery, centre console and steering wheel show signs of age-related wear, and some walnut veneers will need attention. Due to life-changing circumstances, this XJR-S is now being offered by the vendor at ‘No Reserve’, with the original handbook, and stamped service book (displaying eight entries) in the original XJR-S leather book pack wallet. ‘F547 UVX’ is also accompanied by a selection of previous MOTs, a current MOT until August 2023, and a current V5C document.

1995 Mercedes-Benz C280 Elegance

Saloon

One owner and 22,000 miles from new

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: M329 VCT MOT: May 2023

Chassis No: WDB2020282F192922

Supplied new by Alexandra Motors Ltd of Grimsby. Finished in Bornite (Blackberry) Metallic with Mushroom leather upholstery. Service stamps at 1,838, 10,422, 16,175, 19,312 and 21,472 miles. Exceptionally well preserved for a twenty-seven year old car, original bookpack, three keys etc.

A staple part of the Mercedes-Benz range for the past three decades, the first generation (W202) C-Class entered production in June 1993. The subject of a typically thorough development process, the first prototype began testing during 1989. More spacious and dynamically capable than its 190-series predecessor, the C-Class was powered by a range of four- and six-cylinder engines allied to a manual or automatic transmission. The initial flagship, the C280 featured a 2799cc DOHC straight-six engine which developed some 190bhp and 200lbft of torque. A relaxed performer, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and 140mph. However, most buyers opted for one of the more affordable, smaller capacity four-cylinder models.

Undergoing its pre-delivery inspection on 28th December 1994, chassis WDB2020282F1929222 was supplied new to its sole registered keeper the following month by Alexandra Motors (Mercedes-Benz) Ltd. Finished in the striking and unusual colour of Bornite (Blackberry) Metallic, its generous specification included: an electric sunroof, folding front armrest, rear headrests, electric windows, four-speed automatic transmission and Mushroom leather upholstery. The proud new owner also added a NEC car phone, Gold badging, Pioneer radio / cassette player and the personalised number plate ‘M1 WYC’. Dry stored for a decade, the Saloon passed its most recent MOT test on 18th May 2022 with one advisory: ‘offside front brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material’. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, ‘M329 VCT’ is the cleanest W202 we have seen in a long time! Surviving first generation C-Class cars are few and far between but one in this condition is rare indeed. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and three keys.

1961 Standard Vanguard Vignale Estate

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: 824 COR MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: V375974SC

Manufactured in 1961, the Vignale Estate offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered new on the 22nd of August that year as ‘824 COR’. Retaining its original restoration number to this day, the Standard is finished in the attractive colour combination of Nimbus White over Powder Blue paintwork and is complemented by matching Blue with White piped vinyl interior upholstery and Blue carpeting. Treated to a comprehensive restoration in the 1980s, and still presenting well today, other features include folding rear seats, and a separate opening rear window and tailgate that contains a complete toolkit within.

More recently (in the mid-2010s) the engine has been overhauled to include; a crack and pressure-tested head, new valve guides, inlet and exhaust valves, big end bearings and main bearings. A new set of TR4 pistons and liners have been added that increase the capacity from the original 2088cc to in the region of 2138cc and with the head modified with harder valve seats, the engine can consume modern unleaded fuels. A Hi-torque starter motor aids efficient starting and an overdrive gearbox allows the car to cruise comfortably at speed.

Utilised by a former owner as a period tow and support vehicle for a 1957 Cooper 500, attending race meetings at events such as Goodwood, Silverstone and Snetterton, the Standard was also used as one of the taxi vehicles around the Goodwood Revival a few years previously, chauffeuring figures including the late great Sir Stirling Moss. Accompanied by a history file that includes some invoices and tax discs, period advertisements and a sales brochure for ‘The NEW Standard Vanguard Estate Car’, and pictures from the car’s recent life. Fitted with a period sun-visor and with hunting for fitting, the rear windows display some of the stickers from events attended. A very rare survivor, this Standard Vanguard Vignale Estate has already proved its capabilities as the ideal race support or family vehicle for Goodwood or similar events.

1984 Ford Sierra XR4i

Just 37,056 miles from new

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: A169 JGV MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WF0BXXGBBBDU66294

If there is an automotive icon of the early 1980s, it has to be the Ford Sierra XR4i. Best known for its tail-happy handling - it was the last of the great rear-wheel drive V6 grunt Fords - the XR4i was loved by road testers for its mile-eating ability in comfort. Precious few of these icons survive in anything approaching original condition, rust and ‘boy racers’ having decimated survival levels.

First registered on 30 April 1984 and presented in the attractive combination of Silver with Grey cloth interior, this particular example is offered for sale having covered a remarkable 37.056 miles from new in the hands of only 5 former keepers. ‘A169 JGV’ benefited from a number of recommissioning works in 2018, including replacement stainless steel exhaust silencers, a replacement steering rack and replacement rear CV boots and a replacement rocker cover gasket and is now offered for sale as a largely unmolested example for a collector or enthusiast.

Offered with the vehicle is a comprehensive history file containing the Ford Sierra operating guide, Ford Extra Cover leaflet, digital clock guide, audio booklet, dealer network booklet, supplement to operating guide booklet, Ford motorists guide and of course the Ford service plan which contains 9 stamps through to September 2017 at 34,769 miles. Also included are a large collection of MOT certificates, which include every year from 1998 through to 2004, 2008, 2010, and nearly every year from 2012 through to 2020. A collection of invoices are also included, as well as the V5C document which displays 5 former keepers. Please note the dipstick oil level light does remain illuminated most of the time.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: F143 OTT MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: WDBBA48D1KA092316

The third generation SL (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension and disc brakes all-round. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six and six versions of Mercedes-Benz’s silky smooth V8. For 1986, Mercedes-Benz produced its most powerful SL of the decade in the form of the V8 powered 560 SL. The car was the heaviest of the 19711989 R107 SLs that Mercedes-Benz produced, but the new 5.5 litre, V8 engine with 227hp did a fine job of mitigating that fact. The top speed was much improved and the car was quicker from a standstill to 60mph by about four full seconds. The V8-powered 560SL was manufactured from 1986 to 1989 and only offered in the US, Japanese and Australian markets.

Finished in Artic White, complemented by a Royal Blue interior ‘F143 OTT’ displays just 67,400 miles, has automatic transmission and is offered with both hard and soft tops. With an interior featuring a driver’s airbag, centre arm rest and a rear luggage area, the boot area also offers space for touring luggage and is also carpeted. The boot lid features the US Federal specification high-level third brake light and a fog light has been added for UK regulations. The original owner’s wallet with handbooks and service book, plus V5C, are included in the sale and the SL possesses a current MOT certificate into July 2023.

1934 MG PA

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: 764 UYE MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: P1589

This PA, chassis number P1589 emerged from the MG Abingdon factory on the 26’September 1934, initially as a two-seater variant. Early history is unknown but in 1981 it was found with the body and chassis badly damaged in a vehicle dismantlers yard in Scotland, with the running gear in reasonable condition, minus the engine and gearbox. When the present owner acquired the car in June 1984, the chassis had been repaired and a new 4-seater body fitted by Favell coachbuilders of Ely. A BMC ‘A’ series engine had been fitted and the registration number was now ‘JR 3287’. Registration documents had been lost, so the decision to fully strip and rebuild the car to ‘as near’ original for 1934 and a 4-seater variant was made with the intention to obtain a new registration number and V5 documentation. Rebuilt in his spare time over the next 25 years, most of the parts from Sports & Vintage and Barry Walker. In 2014, with the support of the MG Car Club, the DVLA issued a new age-related registration number. The vendor found the number P1589 on the chassis when restoring the car, however, later found in the MG PA Register there is another car using that chassis number with a PA prefix.

Subject to an extensive and conscientious ‘chassis-up’ restoration, including the fitting and overhaul of a PB engine and gearbox. Wherever possible, every component on the car has been restored or sourced with near original specification parts. There was also re-chroming work, engine machining and white metalling work completed by Formalls Vintage and Racing Ltd, Fordingbridge and the seats, upholstery, top and side screens renewed by Ashley James Autotrim, Bolton. According to the vendor, ‘the finished car performed very well, probably as good as if not better than when it was new but still it struggled to keep up with modern day traffic so with the fitting of a Baydon Jones sports camshaft, a belt driven Marshall 8psi supercharger and a new SU HV5 carb, the driveability of the car has improved significantly making it a very exciting and enjoyable car to drive.’ Offered with a large collection of invoices and V5C document.

1967 Jaguar MkII

Extensively restored and upgraded

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: MXD 533E MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 121125DN

Offered here is a ‘fast road’ Coombs evocation. Better known as an entrant than a driver, John Coombs put up some spirited performances behind the wheel of various single-seaters before settling down to make Coombs of Guildford one of Britain’s most successful Jaguar dealerships. A frequent visitor to Browns Lane, he was instrumental in fine-tuning the MkII to become the saloon racer that it did. Capitalising on the success his cars had achieved in the British Saloon Car Championship, Coombs offered a wide range of tuning options for road-going MkIIs.

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

2005 Bentley Arnage R

Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: DK54 GLV MOT: May 2023 Chassis No: SCBLC37F65CH10662

The Bentley Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were phased in during the spring of 1998 as replacements for derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne (Bentley) and Silver Spirit (Rolls-Royce). The bodies for the new cars were built at the Bentley factory in Crewe, while the engines were outsourced. Initially available as a single model, the Arnage was powered by a DOHC 4.4-litre BMW engine force-fed by twin turbochargers. However, it was around this time that Bentley passed into the hands of the Volkswagen Group and Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW. Not surprisingly, BMW declined to see a rival marque powered by one of its engines, so Volkswagen was forced to find an alternative powerplant for the Arnage. After offering the Green Label and Red Label, those models gave way to the Arnage R in 2002. In common with the long wheelbase Red Label launched the previous year, it was powered by a completely reworked version of Bentley’s venerable 6.75-litre V8 engine. Courtesy of Bosch Motronic engine management and a pair of Garrett T3 turbochargers it produced 399bhp and a colossal 616lb-ft of torque.

First registered on the 18th of January 2005, offered here, is a very special example of the Arnage R. With an exterior finished in Silver Tempest over Anthracite, and with automatic transmission, it was actually owned by Bentley Motors for 2 years and is believed to have been specified by Bentley Mulliner as a demonstrator, likely by order of Bentley’s marketing department, and used for public appearance duties at one or more of the motor industry’s motor shows in 2005. This Arnage R was then thought to have been put into service as a press demonstrator for Bentley Motors for their two years of ownership, before being sold through Bentley of Birmingham.

Due to being a demonstrator the specification was a seemingly endless list of ‘tick boxes’, with Mulliner badges on the front wings of the two-tone paintwork, the interior wouldn’t be a disappointment to those cossetted in the rear compartment. An interior finished in Portland and Slate hides with Granite carpets, there is optional, or special order, burr walnut with contemporary cross-banding and inlay to fascia and waist rails. Additionally, there are veneered rear quarter companion mirrors, veneer inserts to door trims, veneered picnic tables, a single veneer cocktail cabinet to the lower front seat back, single veneer document stowage to the lower front seat back, a bottle cooler in the centre armrest and a DVD system in the rear compartment with screens on the rear of the front head rests. With c.73,570 displayed miles on the odometer and with just two former keepers recorded on the V5C, the car has resided in current ownership since 2015. With build records in the history file, it comes to the auction offered with some old MOT paperwork and the V5C.

1997 Aston Martin DB7 Coupe

Just 44,567 miles from new

Estimate: £15,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: P140 LRV MOT: April 2024

Chassis No: SCFAA1119TK100669

Presented in Cheviot Red with contrasting parchment interior, this lovely DB7 was purchased by the current keeper in September 2022. In his ownership, the car has been enjoyed and well looked after; with the headlining re-upholstered, battery replaced and some other small areas fettled. After seven months of fun, he has decided to sell the car to purchase something a little more contrasting to his longstanding Jaguar XK Convertible.

There are a couple of small details that make ‘P140 LRV’ stand out somewhat. One of which, on the invoice for a more recent service by Just Astons Ltd in October 2020, it is stated ‘It is one of the cleanest DB7s I have seen’. This notion of a well looked after car is further supported by what can only be described as fastidious work by a previous owner. Within the handbook, they have made amendments and comments specific to the car throughout the entirety of the owner’s section; examples of which include amendments to the starting procedure, diagrams of key fobs, correct locations of buttons relative to the car, additional information within various sections etc.

Now showing only c.44,567 miles on the odometer, this DB7 is offered with an impressive history file. The ‘service’ section on the owner’s manual is full with 21 stamps; 12 of which are Chiltern Aston. The service book was completed in March 2015 just c.4,000 miles ago. Since, there is a large collection of additional invoices for servicing and other works, a large collection of previous MOT certificates, the Aston Martin Quick Reference Guide, Alpine radio and Multichanger manual and the current V5C which displays 11 former keepers. The car has just received an MOT, valid until 03 April 2024 and the vendor describes the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment and transmission as ‘Very Good’, with the paintwork and interior trim ‘Good’.

1974 Triumph Stag

No Reserve*

Reg No: GJP 528N MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: LD32972A

Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc/drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard- and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.

A 1974 model year example presented in Red with contrasting Tan interior, this particular stag is offered from a deceased estate having been in ownership since the car was just 10 years old. Now, off the road for some time, with the tax disc suggesting since 1987 or 1987, this particular car comes accompanied by a matching hardtop and is offered for sale with No Reserve. Please note ‘GJP 528N’ does not come with a current V5C document or any accompanying paperwork.

1960 Daimler SP250 Dart

Estimate: £30,000 - £34,000*

Reg No: 245 LNW MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 100723

The controversially styled Daimler Dart was introduced at the New York Motor Show in 1959 and had its European debut at the 1959 Earls Court Motor Show; the Dart name was soon dropped after the threat of legal action from Chrysler who had a car of that name within their Dodge division. Thereafter this new sports car was known as the Daimler SP250. Supplied new to the United Kingdom in right-hand-drive configuration and understood to have been registered new in Leeds on the 25th of May 1960, the Dart is fitted with the four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh on the top three gears. Believed to have been subject to an engine overhaul in the early 2000s, the Daimler has also been repainted in the Bright Red hue in c.2007, with complementary Grey leather interior upholstery. Sensibly upgraded with rack-and-pinion steering, electric fan and servo-assisted braking. While residing in the previous long-term ownership between 2008 and 2022, the SP250 was also provided with a new hood trimmed in Black, new radiator, and a stainless-steel exhaust system with balance pipe, providing much improved exhaust note.

Acquired by the vendor, a former Daimler engineer, from the long-term previous custodian, the Dart has been treated to a brake overhaul and engine servicing since purchase. Displayed at the 2022 Daimler & Lanchester Owners Club International Rally in York, ‘245 LNW’ is fitted with chrome wire-wheels (including a wire spare wheel) and is accompanied by a hood bag and tonneau cover, both trimmed in White. Supplied with a paperwork file that contains an original owner’s handbook, service manual, a collection of previous MOTs and invoices, and a current V5C document. With 2,650 Daimler SP250s produced, it is believed that fewer than 700 of these stylish sports cars survive today making this one of the rarest but affordable British classic cars available.

2006 Jaguar XK

No Reserve*

Reg No: RF06 KBZ MOT: December 2023

Chassis No: SAJAC43P275B06477

Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded/riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension and was powered by either a 4.2-litre V8 or 5.0-litre engine, both in supercharged or nonsupercharged form. The Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).

Presented in the desirable and surprisingly rare combination of Jaguar Racing Green with contrasting Doe-skin leather interior, this particular XK benefits from an impressive specification including 20’’ alloy wheels, electric memory seats, automatic speed limiter, climate control, front and rear heated screens, telephone connectivity and more. Now showing c.105,000 miles on the odometer, this useable example has had just 4 former keepers over its lifetime and benefits from an MOT valid until December 2023. Included with the vehicle is the service booklet, which contains 7 stamps and the V5C document. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission as ‘Very Good’, with the interior trim ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good’.

1966 Ford Cortina 1500 GT

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: KLP 599D MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: BA78FJ0820B

A halfway house between the standard 1500cc models and the twin-cam engine Lotus Cortina, the 1500 GT was not only some thirty percent more powerful than its lesser siblings but also featured improved suspension and front disc brakes. Though the Lotus became one of Ford’s all-time great competition cars, the GT was no mean performer with examples notching up memorable wins on the track and in the forest. Manufactured in 1966, the 1500 GT offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 20th of June that year. Fitted with the 1488cc straight-four Kent engine with the four-speed manual transmission, the Ford is finished in Metallic Red paintwork (with Metal Flake) and complementary Black vinyl interior upholstery.

Entering into current ownership in 2012, the Ford was provided with a restoration (which has only recently neared completion), that has comprised; full repainting of the rust-free shell; an engine overhaul; an electric fuel pump; attention to the steering; renewed top mounts and front struts; adjustable shock absorbers; a full interior refresh including headlining; full re-wiring; braking refresh; new wheels, front wheel bearings, bushes and tyres; and a replacement vinyl roof, amongst other improvements. Provided with some further paint remediation and door fitment adjustments since the photography session, ‘KLP 599D’ has been fitted with aftermarket, adjustable power steering, controlled by a dial under the dashboard.

Offered with a history file that comprises, a collection of invoices for both work completed and parts throughout the restoration work, a few previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C document, chassis number BA78FJ0820B is also due to be provided with a 12-month MOT certificate in preparation for sale. The vendor also notes that the Cortina required a new bonnet hinge on the driver’s side. Increasingly sought after and seemingly rarer than a Lotus Cortina, the GT Cortinas are surely an appealing prospect!

1968 Jaguar 240

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: PEA 833F MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1J2788DN

For many, the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque’s first monocoque design. Originally powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straightsix engine that had taken Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the range was blessed with one of the all-time great automotive interiors, its stylish instrumentation, rich wood veneers and sumptuous leather upholstery all conspired to cosset and cocoon occupants. In the Autumn of 1967, the MkII range - less the discontinued 3.8 - morphed into the interim 240 and 340 models intended to bridge the gap before the launch of the XJ6 in September 1968. The 240 continued as a budget model until April 1969; its price of £1,364 being only £20 more expensive than the first 2.4 in 1956. Output was increased from 120bhp at 5,750rpm to 133bhp at 5,500rpm and torque was increased.

Being one of the last evolutions of the MkII line (the revised 240 and 340 models were introduced for the 1968 model year), this 240 (Straight 6) example has the visually distinguishable ‘new for 1968’ slimline front and rear bumpers and also the benefits from the sundry hidden changes such as the adoption of the E-type’s straight port cylinder head design. Displaying just 8,500 credible miles, ‘PEA 833F’ is believed to be a one owner car between 1968-2022. Subject to a previous bodywork restoration and repaint ‘PEA 833F’ has benefitted from much improvement in recent times, with work that includes a new headlining, some new chrome, refurbished wheels with new tyres. The engine has benefitted from a recent service that included fresh oil, new plugs and leads. A collection of invoices and old tax discs accompany the 240.

2004 Bentley Arnage T

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: RX54 PZF MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: SCBLF34FX5CH10529

The Bentley Arnage was introduced during the Spring of 1998 as replacements for derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne, with the bodies produced from the Bentley factory in Crewe. The Arnage T was heralded as the most powerful model in the Bentley range at its 2002 North American International Auto Show launch. As with the Arnage R, there were twin turbochargers but tuned to develop 459bhp and 645lbft of torque. The Arnage T’s was reputedly capable of 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and 170mph.

Originally delivered by Bentley main dealers Broughtons of Surrey, ‘RX54 PZF’ is finished in an attractive Anthracite paintwork with a Beluga Black interior and burr walnut veneers. Having covered only 49,000 miles in the hands of just eight keepers, the current vendor states that the Arnage drives very well and he describes the Bentley as being in a very good condition all-round. ‘RX54 PZF’ is offered with a stamped service booklet with stamps from Broughtons of Cheltenham, P&A Wood, Bowling-Ryan, and Mulsanne Motors, two sets of keys, a current V5C document and some previous MOTs certificates.

1993 Mercedes-Benz E500

The iconic ‘Q-car’ of the 1990s

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: E5 OGO MOT: October 2023

Chassis No: WDB1240361C082946

The ultimate ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ of the 1990s, the W124 500E saloon was built to rival the BMW M5 and was created in close cooperation with Porsche. With its engineering department busy, Mercedes-Benz commissioned Porsche in 1989 to redesign the W124 chassis to enable the 5.0-litre V8 from the SL to be shoehorned in.

Manufactured in 1993, chassis number WDB1240361C082946, is one of just 1,855 facelift examples produced and is finished in arguably the most desirable colour combination of Blue-Black metallic paintwork (199U) with complementing Anthracite leather (271) interior upholstery. Specified from new with an electric sliding roof, electric front seats with heating and memory, automatically dipping rear view mirror, electric steering column, folding armrest, air-conditioning, heat insulated glass all-round, and uprated sound system, the E500 features the naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine (producing 322bhp @ 5,700 rpm) allied to the fourspeed automatic transmission.

Imported to the United Kingdom from the car-friendly climate of Japan in 2021 by a well-known member of the Mercedes-Benz Owners Club in the UK, the E500 has been in the ownership of the vendor since late 2021. With approximately 258,000 kilometres (equating to some 168,000 miles) recorded on the odometer, the E500 appears to have worn its mileage very well and is (unusually for Japanese imports) accompanied by a large selection of paperwork from the cars time in Japan. This Japanese documentation includes a large number of servicing and inspection paperwork, as well as maintenance invoices, with significant mechanical improvement completed in 2010. We have had the documents translated into English, which can be sent to interested parties upon request. Further documentation includes with a few previous MOTs, a current MOT until October this year, and a current V5C, with the E500 accompanied to sale by the apt registration number ‘E5 OGO’. Undoubtedly the ‘Q-car’ of the 1990s, and with so few imported to British shores, this example would make a superb cross-continental cruiser, weekend driver, or would make a great addition to any collection.

1928 Humber 9/20

Weyman Saloon

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: YW 6340 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 5701

Humber Limited had an important year during 1923, with the adoption across the range of new inlet over exhaust engines, replacing the previously adopted side-valve units, along with the introduction of a new luxury small car, the 985cc 8hp (later called the 8/18). Very much a ‘big car in miniature’, it was generously equipped by the standards of the day. Developed through the 1056cc, 9/20 to the improved 9/28hp introduced in 1929.

‘W/O No 9528’ was originally supplied by the Humber works to their New Bond Street showroom on the 7th of June 1928. Today, the original Weyman fabric body is finished in Duck Egg Blue with an original and nicely presented saddle leather interior. There is known ownership since 1961, with the engine restored some 30 years ago, with 5000 miles covered since. More recently, the rest of the mechanical rebuild was carried out over a three year period and completed just 5 years ago. The odometer currently reads 05701 miles. It’s a well-known car in Humber Club and local VSCC circles. There are accompanying MOTs dating back to 1988 at 94,937 miles. The vendor reports that ‘YW’ drives ‘very well’ and is reluctantly being sold only to enable space for another vintage Humber. Offered with ‘YW’ is a history file that includes various V5 Registration Documents, an RF60, the original owner’s handbook, the MOTs dating back to 1988 and sundry correspondence, invoices, notes etc.

1950 Ford V8 Pilot

Estimate: £9,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: T.B.A MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 7243150

Flagship of the post-WW2 Dagenham range, the Ford V8 Pilot was introduced in 1947. Based on a sturdy ladder-frame chassis equipped with transverse leaf-sprung suspension, rugged beam axles and hydromechanical drum brakes, the newcomer could be had in saloon, estate or pick-up guises. Effortlessly fast yet surprisingly comfortable, it was powered by a wonderfully torquey 3622cc 85bhp sidevalve V8 engine allied to three-speed manual transmission. Generously proportioned with a 9ft 0.25in wheelbase and 4ft 10in track, the model’s transatlantic styling (waterfall grille, voluptuous wings, moulded spare wheel cover etc) saw it cut quite a dash in austere late 1940s Britain. Although better known as a police pursuit vehicle, the V8 Pilot also achieved competition fame when Ken Wharton drove one to victory on the 1950 Tulip and Lisbon rallies. Despite patronage from the royal family (who took delivery of a bespoke estate version), the Big Ford only stayed in production for four years during which time some 22,155 were made (though, today survivors are comparatively few and far between).

An original UK supplied right-hand drive example, the car offered here features the 3.6 litre V8 engine and 4-door Saloon coachwork. At the time of purchase by the vendor, some 8 years ago, he had it mechanically inspected. In ownership, the big postwar Ford V8 Saloon benefitted from 12 volt electrics, an electric fuel pump and an electric cooling fan. The vendor described the Pilot as ‘driving well’ at the time of consignment. It is offered with the original Ford V8 handbook and the V5C, which records 3 former keepers. The vendor says he expects to drive the Pilot to the sale.

1996 Land Rover Defender 90 TDi

No Reserve*

Reg No: P676 DLS MOT: October 2023

Chassis No: SALLDVAF7TA989681

Kept garaged as part of a small private collection since 2015Regularly MOT tested and treated to a new water pump, alternator and fan belt tensioner etc. Subject to a professional Dinitrol wax treatment shortly after purchase by Chassis Clean of Cheshire. Five-speed manual transmission, power steering, alloy wheels and tow bar etc.

Notable as the first coil-sprung Land Rover, the ‘One Ten’ was introduced in 1983 (albeit the Solihull firm had been utilising a similar suspension set-up for its flagship Range Rover since 1970). Further differentiated from its Series III predecessor by a taller one-piece windscreen, modernised interior and more sophisticated Range Rover-derived permanent four-wheel drive system, the newcomer gained wind-up windows and a shorter wheelbase sibling, the ‘Ninety’, in 1984. With their superior load capacity, handling and ride comfort, the ‘One Ten’ (110) and ‘Ninety’ (90) proved strong sellers. Available with a choice of petrol or diesel engines, they were bought as much as lifestyle vehicles as workhorses. Deservedly popular, the turbo diesel variant was revamped in 1994 with the arrival of the 300 TDi engine. Codenamed ‘Romulus’, the 2.5 litre four-cylinder unit was notably smoother, quieter and tougher than the outgoing 200 TDi powerplant. Developing an unstressed 111bhp and 195lbft of torque, it endowed the Defender 90 with an 85mph top speed and 30mpg economy.

According to handwritten notes on file, ‘P676 DLS’ was treated a new rear crossmember, cambelt kit, rear step, brake system check, refurbished upholstery and fresh fluids before being acquired by its penultimate keeper in December 2014. Further benefiting from a front drop arm conversion, replacement windscreen and fresh door seals by the time it entered the current (fifth) ownership the following October, the Land Rover was entrusted to Chassis Clean of Cheshire for a Dinitrol wax treatment shortly thereafter. A new alternator, water pump and fan belt tensioner were installed during 2017 and attention paid to the fuel filler / neck and viscous unit in 2018. Repainted at some stage, the Defender 90 started readily upon inspection. Covering some 5,000 miles over the past eight years, ‘P676 DLS’ passed its most recent MOT test on 20th October 2022 with ‘no advisories’. Offered for sale with a spare set of wheels, V5C Registration Document, sundry invoices, numerous old MOT certificates and several issues of The Land Rover Club magazine.

1966 Triumph TR4A

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: UCA 804D MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CT63492L

Codenamed ‘Zest’, the TR4 was introduced in 1961 as a replacement for the TR3A. Though it was based on the chassis and drivetrain of its muchloved predecessor it cut a far more modern dash, thanks to an all new Michelotti-styled body. Power was provided by Triumph’s proven OHV four-cylinder engine. The capacity was, however, increased to 2,138cc. Other mechanical updates included a wider track front and rear, rack and pinion steering and an all-synchromesh gearbox. The optional overdrive was now made to operate on second and third gears as well as top - the result was effectively a close-ratio box with seven speeds. There was also the option of a unique hardtop with fixed glass rear window, integral rollbar and removable centre section.

Despatched from the factory on the 18th of January 1966 and shipped from Navyard Wharf, Harwich aboard the vessel ‘Ariel’, chassis number CT63492L was supplied to Standard Triumph Motor Company Inc of Baltimore, USA. Specified from new with heater, MPH speedometer, spare wheel and a tool-roll kit, the TR4A remained in America for the majority of its life, only being repatriated in 2020. Showing a recorded mileage of 92,600 miles, the Triumph had been finished attractively in Primrose Yellow paintwork by the time it reached British shores again, with the interior trimmed in Black with White piping, and a complementary Beige hood.

Entering into current ownership in 2021, ‘UCA 804D’ was provided with a full engine overhaul including an unleaded cylinder head, new pistons, liners, big ends, and valves, a modified front crank seal, high torque starter and renewed ignition system, and both oil and fuel pumps. The gearbox has previously been overhauled and a new clutch fitted with new engine and gearbox mounts, with an estimated £3,000 worth of expenditure lavished on the TR4A. Barely run in since the completion of the mechanical restoration, the Triumph is offered with a BMIHT Heritage Certificate and V5C document.

1999 Jaguar XKR

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: V804 VKE MOT: September 2023

Chassis No: SAJJGKEF3AR041488

H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description: The sleek-looking Jaguar XKR first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. This 4.2 litre automatic example was imported new to Japan from the UK in 1999 by the HanYuu Auto Co Ltd, Ota, Japan ( they are still JLR main dealers). Imported from the carfriendly climate of Japan in 2019, this pristine XKR has just one previous keeper in Japan and one recorded owner, the vendor, in the UK.

Finished in Topaz Metallic, the interior has complementing Cream leather with ‘wood trim’ features, heated seats, air conditioning and a Kenwood DAB radio unit.

‘VKE’ was last serviced in 2020, at 26,755 miles , by N & S Auto Services, Independent Jaguar Specialists of Wakefield, benefiting from an oil change, water pump. new timing chains with new guides plus the vendor has replaced rear suspension bushes, brake fluid automatic gearbox and differential oils. This a totally rust free example. The paintwork and pristine wheel arches and underside bear witness to it’s salt free Japanese history and dry storage whilst in the UK. With an MOT into September of 2023, the XKR is offered with the owner’s wallet, handbook and service book, two keys a collection of invoices and the V5C.

2002 Range Rover Westminster

No Reserve*

Reg No: KW02 AEB MOT: July 2023

Chassis No: SALLPAMW32A461688

Twenty-five years after its triumphant introduction, the P38A brought a strengthened chassis and less boxy exterior, while power was now provided by upgraded 4.0-litre and 4.6-litre versions of Rover’s ubiquitous all-alloy V8 engine as well as a diesel derivative using the six-cylinder 2.5-litre engine.

Introduced at the end of the P38’s production, the Westminster special edition was a limited production run of just 200 examples, 150 petrol and 50 diesel examples. It was offered with a high specification including electric windows, door mirrors and a glass sunroof, along with an upgraded Harman Kardon stereo system, air-conditioning, cruise control, and an in-built sat-nav system. With the choice of either the 4.0 V8 or 2.5 diesel engine, the Westminster was offered in only three colours - Blenheim Silver, Java Black or Bonatti Grey. The example offered was supplied new via Stafford Land Rover on the 20th of March 2002, being finished in Bonatti Grey with Ash Grey leather interior upholstery. The special edition features continue inside with metal trim accents and ‘Westminster’ sill tread plates, as well as stylish Poplar Anthracite wood inlays, giving the cabin a more contemporary appearance. The Westminster is one of the 50 diesels made, using the 2.5-litre engine.

1967 Sunbeam Alpine Series V

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*

Reg No: NLA 984E MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B395015581HR

“In the Alpine the needs of the sporting motorist with a young family are met. It is attractive, safe and unquestionably fast in spite of the emphasis put on long distance comfort. The world’s markets are overdue such a car”. (Autocar 1959)

Introduced in 1959, the Sunbeam Alpine was a natural rival to cars such as the MGA and Triumph TR3. Built around a steel monocoque, it featured independent coil-sprung front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and disc/drum brakes. An attractive design, its lines were predominantly the responsibility of Kenneth Howes. Swindon born, this former employee of Ford’ Detroit Styling Centre had also been schooled under Raymond Loewy. As such, the Alpine’s ‘micro Thunderbird’ profile was perhaps little coincidence. Unveiled in 1965, the final MKV 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. Further benefiting from the adoption of negative earth electrics and an alternator, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 100mph. Treated to some subtle internal / external cosmetic tweaking as well, it emerged boasting a crisper more modern look. Only produced for three years, the Alpine MKV was quietly dropped from the Sunbeam range in 1968.

Offered here is a late example of the Alpine. A 1967 Series V version of the iconic British Rootes Group’s sports car, it has the aforementioned 1725cc engine allied to a manual gearbox. Previously the subject of a restoration the Series V Alpine is finished in what appears to be factory Commodore Blue or very similar. At some point the carburettor has been upgraded to a Weber unit and it is stylishly finished off with a set of period-looking 13” Carmona Minilite-style alloy wheels. Offered with a workshop manual and a collection of old invoices and the current V5C.

2006 Jaguar XK Convertible

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000*

Reg No: YH56 WWO MOT: January 2024

Chassis No: SAJAC44P975B12355

Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded/riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and fourwheel disc brakes. The Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).

Presented in the appealing combination of Grey with contrasting Ivory leather interior, this particular XK boasts an impressive specification including 20” alloy wheels, heated and electric memory seats, cruise control, automatic speed limiter, climate control and more. ‘’YH56 WWO’ was purchased by the vendor from Caffyns Jaguar, Eastbourne on 9th December 2011 for the princely sum of £23,960. Over the last 11 and a half years, the car has been thoroughly enjoyed; being looked after almost exclusively by Jaguar Cheltenham and with invoices in current ownership totalling over £10,500. Now offered for sale simply due to lack of use, this well maintained XK is offered for sale with just c.73,000 miles on the odometer and only 3 former keepers.

With an MOT valid until 10 January 2024, ‘YH56 WWO’ comes accompanied with a history file containing its original bookpack with 10 service stamps; the most recent at 67,354 miles on 31st July 2018. All bar one of these are from Jaguar main dealer. Worth noting is that since 2018 the car has been seen regularly by Jaguar Cheltenham, with a number of invoices on file for works undertaken. Also included with the vehicle within the bookpack are the original owner’s handbook, quick start guides, navigation system booklet, warranty booklet, audio connectivity booklet, a large collection of invoices as mentioned above and the V5C document.

1936 Lanchester Ten Sports Saloon

No Reserve*

Reg No: VAS 796 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 28937

The Lanchester Ten shared its basic chassis with the BSA Ten, which would be announced the following month, the Lanchester Ten launched in September 1932. Part of the thinking behind BSA’s acquisition of Lanchester was, in consideration of the international economic depression, to extend the BSA group’s range of cars into the sectors between those filled by Daimler and the three-wheeled ‘cars’ of BSA Cars without affecting Daimler’s super-luxury image. Quite different from previous Lanchesters, the Ten was the second (it followed the Lanchester 15/18) of Lanchester’s new owners’ new Daimler-linked Lanchester range. The smallest Lanchester ever produced became far too expensive for the size of car it was, few were sold and production ended in 1951, it was also the one produced in the greatest numbers, with approximately 12,250 sold.

Chassis number 28937 was manufactured in 1936 and supplied to Mulliner’s (of Birmingham) who provided the attractive two-door, four-seater Sports Saloon coachwork (body number 30552) that the Lanchester is still presented in today. Believed to have been registered ‘FF 4603’ when new, chassis 28937 survived World War Two and is subsequently understood to have been acquired into the possession of a funeral director, being retained by them for a number of years. Finished in two-tone Black and Grey by this stage, with an insignia painted on the doors, the Ten now displays delightfully patinated seats in Brown leather upholstery. Thought to have been off the road for around twenty-five years, the Lanchester was unearthed from storage last year. Showing just two former keepers on HPI and now registered ‘VAS 796’, the Lanchester is ripe for restoration and is temptingly offered without reserve.

2003 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage

Estimate: £15,000 - £17,000*

Reg No: T.B.A MOT: June 2023

Chassis No: SCFAB12313K303875

Introduced at the March 1999 Geneva Salon, the Vantage version of Aston Martin’s landmark DB7 broke with marque tradition by using a wholly different engine rather than a punchier version of its sister car’s existing powerplant. Breathed on by Cosworth, the newcomer’s ‘heart’ was a 5935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lbft. Initially available with a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had with ZF’s Touchtronic semi-auto from 2000 onwards (0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, limited 165mph top speed). To cope with such performance, the 2+2-seater’s structure, suspension and brakes were all upgraded. Asked to rework his masterpiece, stylist Ian Callum added a reshaped back bumper, more pronounced sills, combined driving lamps / indicators and horizontal bars to the radiator grille. Priced at £92,500, Aston Martin’s flagship came with central locking, electric windows/mirrors, traction control, ABS, airconditioning, front airbags, alarm/immobilizer and 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Notable as the marque’s first V12 production model, the DB7 Vantage lasted until 2003 by which time some 2,385 Coupes had been made.

First registered on the 12th of September 2003, this example of Ian Callum’s iconic and revered DB7 design, displays some 49,500 recorded miles and has 6 former keepers recorded. Finished in Blue with a Cream with Blue leather interior, in current ownership the Aston has been the subject of mechanical work and servicing maintenance. In 2020 the car had new plugs, a coil and fluids; 2021 saw a front and rear tyre, a battery, handbrake shoes, plugs and a front coil spring, 2x injectors, rear wheel bearings, 6 new coils; a new blower motor was fitted in 2023. Offered at auction with a collection of invoices and the owner’s bookpack, including the service book. Previously the subject of a Category D Insurance loss in December 2005 and subsequently repaired, the DB7 is offered with a V5C. Please note: The registration plate displayed is not included in the sale.

1990 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: PUI 3831 MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB170271

Launched in 1975, Jaguar’s XJ-S was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. It was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the longawaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and a sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coilsprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.

Finished in what appears to be Jaguar’s Silver Blue Metallic with complementing Blue convertible top and Tan leather interior, this muscley V12 version of the XJ-S is fitted with a TWR body-kit. TWR became most closely associated with Jaguar from 1982 with the successful entry of the Jaguar XJ-S into the European Touring Car Championship. Now looking more attractive than ever this XJ-S has been the subject of recent recommissioning and displays just c.72,000 recorded miles. Offered with the original owner’s wallet and handbooks, it is offered with a collection of old MOT certificates and the V5C.

1989 Volkswagen Scirocco Scala

No Reserve*

Reg No: F880 YHG MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WVWZZZ53ZKK002383

Deriving its name from the Mediterranean wind, Volkswagen began work on the Scirocco during the early 1970s as the replacement for the aging Karmann Ghia. A three-door, front-engine, front-wheel-drive, sport compact hatchback manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen in two generations from 1974 to 1992, the marque was more recently revived for a third generation from 2008 until 2017. A heavily redesigned second generation Scirocco, still assembled on behalf of Volkswagen by Karmann of Osnabrück (in the same factory as the first generation Scirocco, Karmann Ghia, Karmann Cabriolet and some Porsche models), was first shown at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show in March that year. Designed by Volkswagen’s own internal design team, the new car featured increased front and rear headroom, increased luggage space and a reduction in the coefficient of drag. Eleven different engines were offered in the second generation Scirocco, some related to the Golf GTI specification and other platforms in the VW range (L, GL, GTI etc). Performance-orientated model designations included the GTI, GTS, GTX, Storm and Scala. The Scala moved up to replace the GTX c.1987.

Initially, the Scala was offered in two colours, Paprika Red or Alpine White, expanded in 1988 with Helios Blue Metallic or Sapphire Metallic, again with matching sport seat upholstery and door card inserts. Sunroofs and central locking were optional extras. The Scirocco Scala which was fitted as standard with the GTi gearbox, optional sunroof, 14″ Avus ‘Snowflake’ colour-coded (inner spokes) alloy wheels, and further colour-coding including the body kit, mirrors, and the interior. Scirocco sales continued until 1992 in Germany, the UK, and some other European markets. ‘F880 YHG’, a 1989 Volkswagen Scirocco Scala, is finished in Paprika Red with a matching Carmine Red cloth interior. Pleasingly still retaining the original 14″ Avus ‘Snowflake’ colour-coded alloy wheels and its Blaupunkt radio, the Scirocco is said by the vendor to drive and perform well with a good interior and exterior and no known faults. Offered with a current V5C and two sets of keys, the Scirrocco is fitted with a manual sunroof making ‘F880 YHG’ a nice prospect with summer ahead in the hands of a new owner.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS

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

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

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

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

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

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

2.3 The Seller is wholly responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any judgments or opinions expressed in, the catalogue description of each Lot entered by him, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description. Whether the description has been prepared by the Auctioneer or the Seller, a copy of the typed text will be

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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 co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.

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

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

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

16.1 Upon the sale of a Lot, the Buyer shall:

16.2 Unless he has already done so, complete a Bidder’s Registration Form as in Condition 12.5 above;

16.3 Pay to the Auctioneer the total amount due, at latest by midday on the day after the Sale, notwithstanding that where the Buyer wishes to export the Lot, an export licence may be required which must be obtained by the Buyer at his own cost;

16.4 Accept that any payments received by the Auctioneer from a Buyer may be applied by the Auctioneer towards any sums owing from that Buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatsoever, without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied.

17.1 Until the total amount due has been received by the Auctioneer:

(a) title in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer but the risk shall;

(b) no Lot may be taken away by or on behalf of the Buyer.

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

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

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

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

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

18.5 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

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

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

23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot.

24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation.
