WELCOME TO THE AUCTION Welcome to our autumn sale here at the charming Pavilion Gardens, Buxton. It’s our last auction of 2026 at this popular Derbyshire venue and our Sales Manager James McWilliam and his team have assembled an incredible catalogue of Vintage, Classic and Collector cars to do it justice. It’s a fine collection, epitomised by our front cover car, a beautiful 1932 Invicta S-Type ‘Low Chassis’ Evocation, built at a cost of over £200,000. It was commissioned by the late Alastair Barker, a long-term Vintage Sports Car Club member and competitor. A testament to one man’s vision and perseverance, the car has been estimated at £90,000-£110,000 and is worthy of close inspection. Undoubtedly, many eyes will also be drawn to an imposing 2007 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé, one of just 253 reputedly supplied worldwide during the first year of production. If that wasn’t enough, then the appeal of this sumptuous four-seater, estimated at £140,000-£160,000, is further enhanced by its striking finish of Metropolitan Blue Metallic over brushed Stainless Steel with Cream leather upholstery. Yet, it’s not the only special Rolls-Royce that is bound to attract strong interest as others include a stunning 1981 Corniche Convertible, distinct with its Willow Gold Metallic finish, and a 1976 Silver Shadow I, with just two owners and said to be a true ‘time capsule’ of a car. They have been estimated at £60,000-£80,000 and £50,000-£60,000 respectively. There’s also an incredible age range of cars in the auction and plenty with fascinating histories. The oldest is a rare 1917 Allen Tourer, presented in notably original condition (Estimate: £8,000-£10,000), while some 100 years younger is a 2017 Ford Focus RS five-door hatch that has been uprated with Mountune Performance parts (Estimate: £20,000-£25,000). Meanwhile, many cars have interesting stories, not least a 1948/79 Bentley Mk VI Mallalieu Barchetta, number 21 of c.44 Mallalieu Cars. But that’s just part of the story, as this model also appeared on the BBC and ATV when it was a press car (Estimate: £40,000-£50,000). Another showstopper is a 1924 Ford Model T Speedster, previously sold by H&H at Buxton in July 2022 and retained by the current owner ever since. It’s a privilege to be entrusted with the sale of this beautifully detailed example once again, fittingly at the very same venue where it was a highlight four years ago (Estimate: £14,000-£16,000). Jaguar is also strongly represented, as highlighted by a desirable 1973 E-Type V12 Roadster. It has been in its current ownership for c.20 years and will attract the interest of many enthusiasts being a desirable ‘home market’ manual gearbox example with a substantial history file (Estimate: £40,000-£50,000). We’re sure you’ll agree that the range of lots on offer will appeal to most tastes and budgets and is a great way to sign off from Buxton this year, where we’ve already seen two successful auctions. We very much hope to see you for what promises to be another memorable sale.

Kind regards, Colette

Colette McKay, H&H Managing Director

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.

REGISTER TO BID IN 3 EASY STEPS PLEASE NOTE: We have been advised that vehicles registered on, and imported from, the Isle of Man are not subject to Import Duty. Vehicle Identity and Competition History Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity. Removal of Lots A representative of our preferred transport provider E.M. Rogers will be present at the sale to assist with any transport requirements. All lots are held at the purchaser’s risk at the fall of the hammer and must be removed not later than 1pm on the day following the sale. Please note, if lot(s) are not removed by then the standard charges as stated in our Terms and Conditions will apply.

1932 Essex Super 6

No Reserve* Reg No: 591 UXB

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1237915

Established in 1918 as a companion marque to Hudson, Essex earned a strong reputation for producing dependable, attractively styled and accessible motor cars. The Super Six combined smooth six-cylinder performance with substantial construction and comfortable accommodation. By 1931, Essex models featured confident styling, with imposing radiator grilles, flowing wings and well-proportioned saloon coachwork. This striking 1931 Essex Super Six was imported to the United Kingdom from Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2002. It subsequently underwent a painstaking restoration over approximately ten years and has been lovingly cared for since its completion. Originally finished in maroon with black wings, the Essex now presents in an eye-catching shade of bold blue, complemented by a smart grey leather interior. Its generous proportions, distinctive styling and impressive road presence ensure that it stands out wherever it is shown. Used as a wedding car over the years, it has played a part in many memorable occasions. The accompanying history file includes invoices, previous MOT certificates and the original New Zealand shipping invoice, together with an owner’s handbook and instruction book. Having seen limited recent use, the Essex requires recommissioning before returning to the road. Nevertheless, it represents a charming and rarely encountered pre-war American classic with considerable character and presence. 8

1954 MG TD In single ownership since 1965

No Reserve* Reg No: RRL 900

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: TD 29316

Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. This 1954 MG TD was first registered at Philips & Geake LTD, St Austell, on 1st January 1954, then sold to Mr Norman Banfield, who then sold it to a Mr Perkins in 1956, where it went on to a further 4 owners until it was eventually sold to the late owner in 1965 for the sum of £250.00 by Dunsley Motors LTD in Staffordshire (receipt on file). It appears Mr Jordan used the MG on many journeys until it was eventually laid up in 1977 due to work needing to be carried out. Whilst it was in the garage, many new parts were purchased, mainly body parts (see pictures), to eventually rebuild it to its former glory. In 1998, a reconditioned engine was purchased for the sum of £1,500, which is included in the sale (receipt on file). The MG is to be sold as a non-running project, with a seized engine, many new parts and a folder full of reciepts, handbooks, two RF60 logbooks and an old-style V5.

1959 Triumph TR3A Uprated for rallies and tours

Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000* Reg No: HSK 235

MOT: Exempt

1973 MG B Roadster Heritage body shell

No Reserve* Chassis No: TS59925E

According to its accompanying Standard Motor Company Ltd Production Record Extract, chassis TS59925E was completed to left-hand drive specification on October 21st, 1959. Initially finished in Primrose Yellow with Red leather upholstery, the TR3A was repatriated from Springfield, Ohio during 1990. Acquired by P. Darcy Esq later that same year, he treated the two-seater to an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration (including conversion to RHD) before getting it UK road registered as ‘HSK 235’ on September 1st 1991. Appearing to pleasingly retain its original engine (TS59925E), the Triumph was uprated for ‘fast road’ use as part of its refurbishment with improved brakes and suspension etc. Passing to historic rallying exponent Jason Dearden Esq in 2006, the TR3A was acquired by the present registered keeper the following year. Believed to have covered a mere 18,000 miles since its rejuvenation, the two-seater has been enjoyed on trips to the Le Mans Classic and around Spa Francorchamps etc. Cosmetically scruffy in places, ‘HSK 235’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Said to be ‘notably sound’ underneath, the Roadster has the benefit of a hardtop, overdrive, enlarged 2138cc cubic capacity, tonneau cover and aeroscreens. Offered for sale with blue V5C and large history file.

Reg No: PLG 355L

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GHN5291494

By the time of the mid 1980s, many of Britain’s most loved ‘classic’ cars had reached a state of uneconomical repair due to rust. It can be said this was even true of new cars at the time, let alone classics. As such ‘British Motor Heritage’, headed by David Bishop, acquired the factory tooling required to make accurate BMC shells and one such body produced was the MG B. The first MG B Heritage shell was created in 1988 which, in-line with the restoration receipts, makes this one of the earliest Heritage shell cars. Beneficiary of a major restoration c.1988 costing in excess of £7,000; the equivalent of nearly £18,000 today, the body was replaced with a Heritage shell at a cost of £1,489 that May and there is a warranty card on file for a ‘Gold Seal’ reconditioned engine fitted in September 1988. The restoration resulted in most items being replaced for new at the time and the car has remained in family ownership since restoration. The car ran and moved under its own power during inspection and is now offered temptingly without reserve with a large history file and V5C.

1971 Austin Mini Mk 3

The South African Mini Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* Reg No: FYA 265J

MOT: Exempt

Three keepers from new

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* Chassis No: AA2SF253071U

Among the many international derivatives of Alec Issigonis’ Mini, the South Africanbuilt Mini MK3 is one of the most unusual and seldom encountered. Produced between 1969 and 1971, just 3,871 examples are understood to have been sold, making it a particularly rare chapter in the Mini’s history. Introduced as the flagship of the South African Mini range, the MK3 was developed specifically for the local market. Its most distinctive feature was its extended rear bodywork, derived from the Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornet, providing approximately 50% greater luggage capacity than the conventional Mini. The model incorporated several improvements, including concealed door hinges, wind-up windows, larger brake linings and a four-speed, all-synchromesh remote-control gearbox. Ultimately, the MK3 proved too expensive for its intended market and survived for around two years. Its limited production, South African origins and distinctive combination of round-nose Mini styling with the Elf/Hornet extended boot make it a fascinating derivative. This rare example is attractively finished in light blue with a contrasting Old English White roof and beige interior. Recent recommissioning has included a brake overhaul, new radiator, ignition coil, spark plugs, distributor cap and associated leads. Further enhanced by an upgraded 1275cc A-Series engine, providing extra pep over the original 998cc unit, this distinctive South African-market Mini is said to be ready to drive and enjoy. 10

1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SE Saloon

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Reg No: COD 700L

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11602822006794

Reportedly built on December 31st 1972 to UK market specification complete with Icon Gold Metallic paintwork, Pine Green velour upholstery, automatic transmission, electric windows, heat insulating glass and an electric sunroof, chassis 11602822006794 was supplied new to Gerald Thomas Esq. First issued with the distinctive Devonshire number plate ‘COD 700L’ on May 2nd 1973, the Mercedes-Benz passed to his son sixteen years later and was used to chauffeur his daughter-in-law to Buckingham Palace in 1997 for her investiture as a CBE. Acquired by its current (third) registered keeper during 2015, the 350 SE is understood to have been treated to various new panels (front valance, wings and sills) plus a full respray thereafter. Scarcely used as part of a private collection for the past decade or so, ‘COD 700L’ has recently undergone some recommissioning works including the fitment of a replacement fuel pump. Starting readily and running well during our photography session, the Mercedes-Benz is warranted to have covered c.109,600 miles from new (a figure supported by service stamps, handwritten notes and old MOTs etc). A period Becker radio remains in situ as do the original tool roll and jack. A testament to Stuttgart build quality, this distinctively-hued 350 SE is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

2007 Brabus Smart Cabriolet Xclusive No Reserve* Reg No: LG09 HCO

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WME4514332K269936

Introduced in 2007, the second-generation Smart Fortwo, designated 451, combined compact dimensions with refinement and a rear-mounted three-cylinder engine. The Cabrio added an electrically operated fabric roof and removable side roof bars, offering open-air motoring within its two-seat layout. Developed with BRABUS, the performance flagship featured a 999cc turbocharged engine producing approximately 98bhp, paired with an automated manual transmission incorporating steering-wheel paddle controls. Lowered sports suspension, BRABUS Monoblock alloy wheels and a twin-outlet sports exhaust complemented its performance. The range-topping Xclusive specification added distinctive body styling, heated leather seats and enhanced interior trim. Finished in Black with a matching Black interior, this 2007 Smart Fortwo BRABUS Xclusive Cabrio displays approximately 50,000 miles. Described by the vendor as having every option, it combines the appeal of the flagship BRABUS specification with the versatility of the Cabrio body style. Prospective purchasers should note that this example has a recorded Category D insurance write-off history. This classification forms part of the vehicle’s history and should be considered alongside its present condition and supporting documentation. With its compact proportions, turbocharged performance and opening roof, this BRABUS Xclusive offers an individual and entertaining interpretation of the modern city car.

1931 Riley 9 Plus Ultra Series Special Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* Reg No: VC 2879

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 6017381

According to a letter on file from David Styles of The Riley Register, chassis 6017381 was built in 1931 as a Nine Plus Ultra. Thought to have started life as a Monaco saloon, its ‘VC 2879’ number plate was originally issued in Coventry. Reportedly entrusted to G.A. Turner (Motor Engineers) of Derby by its previous keeper, they got as far as partially re-bodying the car before funds ran out and the car was sold as a bad debt. An accomplished engineer, the vendor subsequently acquired the Riley during 1991. Not content with getting the Nine Plus Ultra back on the road, he prepared it for competition at Vintage Sports Car Club events (obtaining one of the Club’s ‘buff’ forms in 1996). Resisting the temptation to shorten the ‘double dropped’ chassis, the seller overhauled the mechanicals and finished the skimpy, fabric-covered Tourer coachwork. Now exuding a careworn patina, ‘VC 2879’ has been used for pleasure motoring in recent years. A measure of the vendor’s confidence in the Special, he will be driving it some 44 miles to Buxton. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, period handbook, Riley Register dating letter, old VSCC Eligibility Form and marque-related paperwork.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SL 350

Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* Reg No: OU11 XBX

MOT: September 2027

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Chassis No: WDB2304582F167015

The R230 was introduced in 2001 and continued the evolution of SL with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a ‘Vario Roof’ retractable hardtop, ‘Keyless Go’ keyless entry and smart key, and ‘Sensotronic Brake Control’ (SBC) electro-hydraulic power brake system. In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and new front end evoking the classic 300 SL with large grille, prominent three-pointed star and twin ‘power domes’ on the bonnet. It also featured new headlights, giving the car the modern look it enjoys with an optional ‘Intelligent Light System’ and new speed sensitive steering system. Finished in the rare and desirable hue of Palladium Silver this SL350 records a modest c.71,800 miles on its odometer. Driven by our specialist on consignment and said to be driving well with no lights or unwanted noises, furthermore the paint and interior present well overall. With 11 services recorded on file and benefiting from new brake discs, brake pads and tyres fitted recently it is offered with book pack, afforementioned service history, current MOT to September 2027 and Swansea V5C.

1975 Triumph TR6

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Reg No: HRY 707N

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CR64660

Introduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc / drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Finished in Mimosa with Black upholstery, chassis CR64660 was first registered by Leicester County Council on March 7th 1975 (or so its ‘HRY 707N’ number plate would imply). Acquired by its current registered keeper some thirty years later, the Triumph has benefited from much past refurbishment including a bodywork restoration. Reportedly uprated with a stainless steel exhaust system, Lumenition electronic ignition and Koni front shock absorbers, the TR6 is further understood to have had its engine overhauled within the last 500 miles. Sporting a leather-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, wooden dashboard, Black soft-top / hood cover and correct-type steel wheels, ‘HRY 707N’ is deemed by the seller to be ‘a consistently reliable starter’. Displaying an unwarranted c.46,000 miles to its odometer, the two-seater has the added benefit of overdrive. An appealing proposition, this desirable ‘home market’ TR6 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and paperwork file.

1975 Reliant Scimitar GTE

No Reserve* Reg No: LWK 909P

1948 Morris Eight Series E

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 93X6528

Launched in 1968, Reliant’s Scimitar GTE was the original ‘lifestyle estate’. Stablemate to the Scimitar GT Coupe and designed by Ogle’s Tom Karen, the GTE was also the first car to offer split fold rear seats. Following established company practice, it utilised a stiff, separate chassis to underpin its lightweight, rust free glassfibre bodywork. With independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Watts linkage located ‘live’ rear axle, rack and pinion steering and disc/drum brakes, handling was a strong point. Powered by a Ford ‘Essex’ 3 litre V6 engine developing 138bhp and 175lbft of torque, the GTE was tested at over 120mph and could reputedly sprint to 60mph in 8.9 seconds. Progressively updated, the original SE5 GTE gave way to the SE6 in 1975. Boasting more cabin space and better fittings than its predecessor, the SE6’s mild restyle also encompassed new safety bumpers. Introduced the following year, the revised SE6A brought improved dual circuit braking, revised spring / damper rates and higher build quality. Formerly exhibited as part of the Coventry Transport Museum collection this Scimitar will require re-commissioning following a long period of dry storage. It is offered with an old style V5 document which interestingly shows only 1 former keeper recorded.

Reg No: KDE 350

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SE/E116293

Introduced for the 1939 model year, the Series E derivative of the Morris Eight was notably more refined than earlier incarnations. Although, based around a similar box-section chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, Bishop cam steering and Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer could boast a four-speed manual gearbox for the first time (complete with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th). Superseded by Alec Issigonis’ revolutionary Morris Minor, the Eight Series E is nevertheless reputed to have accounted for 67,534 post-WW2 sales. A wonderfully cost effective introduction to post war motoring, this Morris Eight E, presented in black, comes to us from a four year ownership whereby the original buying motive for the vendor was to purchase something of a similar age! Gentle improvements have been made in recent years including an overhauled radiator and fuel tank along with some interior trim and new Michelin tyres fresh from specialists Longstone Tyres. Offered for sale with numorous invoices, mechanical manuals, boxes of assorted parts and a current Swansea V5C.

1995 Aston Martin DB7

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: M777 CDB

MOT: August 2027

1991 Bentley Mulsanne S Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

Chassis No: SCFAA1111SK100552

Reg No: J725 NLN MOT: September 2027 Chassis No: SCBZS00A5MCH35108

Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR Group know-how for a new generation, ‘small’ Aston Martin to become reality. Introduced at the March 1993 Geneva Salon, the newcomer had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque’s previous models. Indeed, under Rod Mansfield, Project NPX (as the DB7 was labelled) got through some thirty prototypes. Derived from a proven Jaguar unit, the 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine was credited with developing 335bhp enabling the DB7 to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and reach 161mph. However, it was the way the Coupe looked, rather than its performance which wowed the public. The DB7 has long been regarded as a modern masterpiece and the six-cylinder Coupe remained current until 1999, by which time some 1,578 had been sold. This particular DB7, registered M777 CDB, displays a genuine c.77,500 miles from new and has been exceptionally well cared for by its owner of nine years. Finished in elegant Derwent Green over dark green and cream leather, it boasts an outstanding service history and is offered with a large history file containing recent invoices and a current V5C. The MOT is valid until August 2027.

Styled in-house by Austrian born Fritz Feller, the Bentley Mulsanne had somewhat less fussy lines than its T2 predecessor. Introduced in 1980, its greater road presence masked a larger glass area. While it looked suitably imposing from the outside, internally it proved pleasantly airy. Although, based on the Shadow/T2 floor plan, the Mulsanne offered considerable improvements in ride and handling. Copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery kept intrusion from the 6.75-litre V8 engine and three-speed automatic transmission. Launched in October 1987, the Mulsanne ‘S’ benefited from firmer, more sporting suspension and a new centre console (the latter from the Turbo R). With alloy wheels as standard, the model gained quad headlamps in September 1988. Only produced for five years, just 909 standard wheelbase cars are thought to have been made. Finished in Royal Blue with Parchment hide featuring Blue piping this Mulsanne S was first registered on 4th September 1991 and shows 7 former keepers recorded on HPI with the last keeper change recorded in May 2016. Having covered 126,600 miles from new and benefitting from attention being paid to the rear suspension and a replacement seat ECU in 2024 this comfortable, capable and affordable motor car is offered with its service book, collection of old MOT’s and invoices, current V5c document and an MOT certificate into September 2027.

2001 MGF 1.8i VVC No Reserve* Reg No: ML51 RKA

MOT: May 2027

15 Chassis No: SARRDWBTC2D533539

A low owners and miles example of one of the last British-made MG sports cars, this MGF was produced in British Racing Green with the desirable option of an interior trimmed partly with Mirage cloth and partly with Black leather. It was originally sold in November, 2001, by Lookers Rover of Stockport, and was retained by its first keeper until 2007. The second keeper’s tenure was brief and it was still 2007 when it entered the third and present registered ownership. The new owner covered around 22,000 miles up to 2016, when the MG was placed into storage with only 44,000 miles covered in total. Opportunities to acquire such well-preserved examples are extremely rare, and with the F coming to be seen as an increasingly desirable ‘youngtimer’ car, we would advise placing some bids while the opportunity exists. This is a low-mileage specimen, complete with its current V5C and its original book pack. Although it has been off the road since 2017, the vendor has recently spent c.£1,000 on a refresh of the Hydrolastic suspension, windscreen washer pump, front brake pads, and new battery this year, and has an MOT until May 2027.

1971 Fiat 500 L Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000* Reg No: MCY 385J

MOT: Exempt

16 Chassis No: 110F2882097

Introduced in 1957, the ‘Nuova 500’ utilised a different mechanical layout to its ‘Topolino’ predecessor. Still driving the back wheels, its rear-mounted, two-cylinder, air-cooled, OHV engine was a first for Fiat. Mated to a four-speed crash gearbox, the unit was continually developed with later versions extracting 17.5 bhp from their 499.5cc. Weighing little more than 500kgs, this modest output still reputedly translated into a 61mph top speed. Equipped with all round independent suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the 500 was a hoot to drive. Launched in 1968, the ‘L’ or Lusso (luxury) version featured the same front-hinged doors and revised transmission as its ‘F’ forebear but added internal and external trim upgrades (among them the famous ‘bull bars’). Finished in the coastal hues of Volkswagen’s own ‘Guinea Blue’ over Sand interior trim, this 500 was imported to the UK in 2013 and subsequently restored over a 4 year period by the then owner. He documented the entire restoration through a USB drive and has even made a YouTube video about the project. Uprated with 650cc engine, a full list of parts used and over 1,000 photos of the restoration are on file. Offered with original Italian registration documentation, Italian inspection book and current V5C.

1962 Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 Home market, matching numbers example

Estimate: £32,000 - £38,000* Reg No: 656 RHU MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 209336DN This beautifully-presented 3.8-litre manual-overdrive Mk. II was manufactured on 17th October, 1962, and originally finished in Opalescent Maroon with a Beige interior. Distributed through Henlys of London, its original dealer was William Automobiles of Bristol, and pleasingly it retains its original Bristol registration ‘656 RHU’ as well as its original engine and gearbox numbers, the gearbox being a Moss four-speed. It is also desirably fitted with Reutter reclining front seats, a factory option in period, as well as some more recent upgrades including hydraulic power steering and electronic ignition. This 3.8 benefitted from a very substantial renovation during 2018 and 2019, with many new parts sourced through the David Manners Group. During this period, it was repainted in its present metallic Gunmetal Grey, which remains in beautiful condition along with the rest of the bodywork; we are advised that four new old-stock doors were fitted, and their fit is superb. The work also involved the retrimming of the interior and refurbishment of the wood veneers, along with the installation of a limited-slip differential. Since completion, it has been widely exhibited at shows, even being named Best in Show at the 2019 Redditch Lions Classic Car Show. More recently, the brakes were overhauled with new pads, a new servo and a new master cylinder. In 2022, the Jaguar was bought by an enthusiast who continued to keep it well-tuned, using it for long-distance touring around Britain, who retained it until 2025, when purchased by the current, multiple Jaguar owner, through one of our sales for some £41,000. It is offered for sale with paperwork including the current V5C, a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, owner-prepared operating instructions, numerous invoices from 2018 and 2019 and a photograph album documenting its restoration in detail. The original car-number plaque has been removed but is stored in the documents file, along with the spare key. 16

2011 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 Supercharged

Estimate: £14,000 - £18,000* Reg No: LP60 RVY MOT: September 2027 Chassis No: SALLMAME3BA344344 Since its introduction in 1970, the Range Rover has combined off-road capability with increasingly sophisticated luxury. The third-generation L322 developed this formula further, offering imposing styling, refined road manners and an extensively appointed interior. In 5.0-litre Supercharged Autobiography guise, it combined potent V8 performance with particularly generous equipment, reinforcing its position among the foremost luxury SUVs of its era. Finished in Santorini Black with Jet leather and Cherry wood trim, showing 112,000 miles. Its Autobiography design kit complements refurbished wheels with nearly new Continental winter tyres. Piano Black trim and/or standard exterior kit are available free. Equipment includes reclining rear seats, heated and cooled seating front and rear, rear entertainment, Harman/Kardon Logic7 audio, radar cruise control and DAB. The Vision Pack adds surround cameras, blind-spot monitoring and high-beam assistance, alongside extended leather and double glazing. The vendor reports a replacement Jaguar XJR engine with approximately 56,000 miles. Work included genuine Land Rover timing chains and tensioners, eight Bosch injectors, supercharger and cooling work, spark plugs and filters. Gearbox reportedly rebuilt and serviced with oil, filter pan and seals. Transfer case and differential fluids renewed, plus a new air suspension compressor.

1934 Riley 9 Monaco

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* Reg No: MJ 4502

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 6025764

The Riley Nine was among the most important British light cars of the inter-war period, its sophisticated engineering and sporting character earning the Coventry marque an enviable reputation. By 1934, the long-established Monaco had evolved from the fabric-bodied saloon introduced during the 1920s, with handsome four-door coachwork and Riley’s celebrated 1,087cc four-cylinder engine, featuring hemispherical combustion chambers and twin high-set camshafts. First registered as ‘MJ 4502’ on 21st May 1934, this Monaco was supplied new to Leonard Patrick O’Brien of Harpenden, Hertfordshire, then Chairman and Managing Director of Laporte Chemicals Ltd. Its subsequent history has been extensively researched, with a dedicated history book accompanying the car and charting its ownership through the decades. The Monaco was discovered in Pembrokeshire in 2006 and acquired by the present owner. A comprehensive restoration followed, returning ‘MJ 4502’ to the road and beginning some twenty years of cherished ownership. Since restoration, the Riley has been carefully maintained and enjoyed, becoming an award-winning example. Having seen limited recent use, some recommissioning will be required before returning to the road. Offered after two decades with its current keeper, ‘MJ 4502’ combines elegant period coachwork, sporting engineering and well-researched provenance stretching back to its 1934 registration.

1994 Ford Granada 2.9 24v Cosworth Scorpio

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: L185 LTF

MOT: None

Chassis No: WF0AXXGAGARS32170

Registered new on the 1st of June 1994, the Granada Scorpio Cosworth offered is finished in striking Tourmaline Green with reputedly limited edition Tan leather interior upholstery. In previous ownership from 2003, the car was owned at that time by a customer of Top Boss Performance, specialists in Cosworth engine Fords. When the car became available to purchase, and knowing the owner’s fastidious nature, the sadly now late owner of Top Boss decided to acquire the car in 2015 to add to his collection of Fast Fords. A well-maintained example, the history file documents thirteen services across the service book and invoices. The vast majority of services through to 2005 were completed by Ford agents, as well as a couple by independent garages, with services completed at 11,000; 19,596; 27,732; 30,802; 45,348; 59,874; 71,096; 81,406; 86,168; and 93,582 miles. More recently serviced twice by Top Boss Performance, while in the collection the car has been taken to many Ford and classic car shows. Last on the road before Covid, the car will now require some recommissioning before pressing into use. A nicely presented example, it now has some 127,000 miles on the odometer. Supplied with a history file, including the book pack in wallet, MOTs back to the 1990s, numerous previous invoices, and V5C document.

1959 Peerless GT Coupe One of Only 325 Peerless’ Made

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Chassis No: GHN5273035G

Introduced in 1962 as the successor to the MGA, the MGB became one of Britain’s most successful sports cars. Combining handsome styling with straightforward mechanicals and the proven 1,798cc B-Series four-cylinder engine, it offered entertaining performance and everyday usability, with earlier chrome-bumper Roadsters remaining particularly popular today. First registered on 9th June 1972, ‘VFM 697K’ is an attractive home-market MGB Roadster finished in White and equipped with the desirable overdrive transmission. A particularly appealing feature is the lovely factory hardtop accompanying the car, adding both versatility and period charm. The history file contains invoices documenting previous mechanical expenditure, including attention to the cylinder head (replacement head gasket etc), cam followers and associated components. Its online MOT history records a consistent mileage progression from 86,811 miles in 2006 to 95,320 miles at its most recent recorded test in 2021. During our photography session, the MG started readily and ran very nicely. Indeed, it is intended that the car will be driven to the auction under its own power. With overdrive, factory hardtop and evidence of previous mechanical maintenance, this charming MGB represents an appealing example of the archetypal British sports car.

Reg No: 905 JPP

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GT2 00276

A racing mechanic with considerable experience of spaceframe construction, Bernie Rodger was approached by John Gordon (later of Gordon-Keeble fame) and James ‘Jimmy’ Byrnes to built the prototype of a new 2+2 sports saloon. In 1958 a Peerless started the Le Mans 24 Hours and finished in a highly creditable 16th place. This Buckinghamshire registered barn find project comes with an interesting history and has remained in current ownership since 1981 having been in long-term previous ownership. Thought to be complete but needing full restoration, accompanying paperwork includes a V5 registration document and notebook complied by previous owner, Dick Hardman, recording his purchase in Liverpool in 1968 with a mileage of 69,876. He maintained the notebook right through to 1977 (134,022m,) recording service work and modifications. Current mileage indicated is 134,040. The rear of the car has been modified allowing two spare wheels to be stored in the boot (however, the bodywork under the modification appears to be largely retained). Mr Hardman was involved in motorsport activities in his native North Lincolnshire. An exciting and potentially rewarding project with interesting provenance and of course the opportunity for further research! Offered with aforementioned Swansea V5 dated 1981 and Mr Hardman’s RAC ‘Blue Book’ for 1971. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: JJN 97L Chassis No: 1S1667

MOT: Exempt

First registered in Southend on April 6th 1973 (or so its initial ‘JJN 97L’ number plate would imply), chassis 1S1667 is understood to have had four previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership nineteen years ago. Boasting the preferred four-speed manual gearbox, the Jaguar is finished in the appealing combination of Old English White with Red leather upholstery and a Black softtop. Rather than having not long emerged from a comprehensive restoration, the Roadster displays an appealing degree of age-related patina and the character that comes from many years of careful ownership and enjoyment. Importantly, this is not an E-Type that has simply been stored away. The vendor and his family continue to use the two-seater regularly, including taking it to local ‘cars and coffee’ gatherings. During our photography session, the V12 engine started readily and ran very smoothly. The accompanying history file is extensive and includes the Jaguar ‘Passport to Service’, numerous previous MOT certificates, historic registration documents and DVLA correspondence, period Jaguar literature, insurance paperwork and a substantial collection of invoices. Also noteworthy is a long run of Jaguar Drivers’ Club valuation certificates dating from the 1990s into the 2000s. The invoices demonstrate considerable maintenance over the years. Documented expenditure includes work to the braking system, rear suspension and axle assembly, a reconditioned differential and propshaft universal joint, together with attention to the ignition system. The cooling system has also received significant attention, including a replacement radiator, hoses and associated cooling-system components. A wonderfully characterful V12 Roadster with a substantial history file, this E-Type offers its next custodian the opportunity to simply continue using and enjoying it as it stands, or to progressively improve the car over time whilst retaining its appealing established character. The car is intended to be driven to the auction. Please note, the registration number shown in the photos - ‘IJI 3’ - is in the process of being retained and does not form part of the sale.

1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Sports Saloon

Coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: LSL 759 Chassis No: GUL54

MOT: Exempt

Understood to have been ordered through Rootes of Piccadilly during 1936, this elegant 25/30 was first registered as ‘MH 189’ and bodied by Thrupp & Maberly as an attractive Sports Saloon with division. Said to have been previously in the ownership of the 5th Baron Lilford of Northampton, in its later years it was laid up for some twenty-two years and re-registered as ‘LSL 759’ by the previous owner, before our vendor acquired it for his personal collection in 2023. Found by our vendor to be very original thanks to a believed-genuine 47,500 recorded miles at the time, he opted to entrust the respected Rolls-Royce specialist Overton Vehicle Overhauls of Southsea-on-Sea to perform a complete mechanical recommissioning, which included a full engine strip-down overhaul that included the fitment of new cylinder liners, a re-cored radiator and new hoses, a fuel system overhaul which included a new SU fuel pump, a brake overhaul and a new set of Blockley tyres. The long-term proprietor of Overton, Ted Overton, remarked to our vendor that it was one of the most original Rolls-Royces he’d ever had the pleasure of working on and found that most of the internal parts were correctly stamped with the engine number, hence he opted to keep as much intact as possible. Now said to be in a most usable condition, with its mechanical condition said to be ‘tip-top’ by our vendor, this handsome car is being offered to the market complete with its original toolkit. Prospective purchasers will have a hard time deciding whether to preserve it in its current patinated condition or restore it cosmetically to their taste.

2006 Saab 9-3 Linear Convertible

No Reserve* Reg No: GF56 UFB

No Reserve* MOT: July 2027

Chassis No: YS3FB76W176000601

The 9-3 was one of the most understatedly elegant cars of the 2000s, and this Fusion Blue example with Parchment cloth and leather interior was registered new on October 30th, 2006, to Valley Automotive Saab, possibly as a demonstrator, who proceeded to sell it on December 2nd to a gentleman in Findon Valley, near Worthing, for £20,495. Equipped with the 150bhp, 1.9-litre turbodiesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox, further features included ABS, power steering, a CD player, power windows, a rev counter and climate control, but the most interesting features were the tuning upgrades made when new by Hirsch Performance, at the behest of the supplying dealer. The Saab’s first private owner retained it until 2013, when ownership was transferred to a close relative, the current registered keeper. With a mileage of just 75,000 and a record of six stamped services, this example surely has plenty of mileage left, with these 9-3s increasingly coming to be appreciated as a distinctive, interesting and enjoyable “youngtimer.” Complete with a no-advisories MOT valid until July, 2027, the Saab is also supplied with the V5C, the original advertisement and sales invoice, the book pack with service book, assorted historic MOTs and invoices, and a Hirsch Performance brochure.

1960 Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Reg No: DSL 412

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 330673

Introduced in 1958, the Star Sapphire represented the pinnacle of Armstrong Siddeley’s post-war cars and final development of the Sapphire range. Powered by a 3,990cc straight-six engine with twin carburettors, it combined performance with refinement. Standard equipment included power-assisted steering, automatic transmission and an independent rear-compartment heater. The Star Sapphire became Armstrong Siddeley’s final production car, with little more than 900 saloons produced before manufacture ceased in 1960. Finished in two-tone blue with a blue leather interior, ‘DSL 412’ has been in the current vendor’s ownership since 1998. During the late 1990s, the car underwent restoration, including engine recommissioning and a full respray. Further paintwork was carried out approximately ten years ago. According to the vendor the car runs and drives well, and has been in regular, often monthly, use. In July 2026, it had a comprehensive service, for which an invoice is present within the history file. Presented as an older restoration, ‘DSL 412’ offers considerable potential for its next custodian. The paintwork and chromework would benefit from attention, while restoration of the interior woodwork and leather would further enhance the cabin. This rare and imposing Star Sapphire represents an appealing opportunity to acquire Armstrong Siddeley’s flagship model, offered at No Reserve.

MOT: January 2027

1971 Land Rover Series IIA

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Chassis No: WDD2211762A063652

The superb engineering and luxury appointments of the S600L were not cheap, with this particularly well-specified example having cost £113,000 when it was new in 2006. The first owner evidently thought it worth the price, because he kept it until 2020, with it understood to have been chauffeur driven throughout this time. Since then it has been looked after and enjoyed by the only other registered owner. It has been kept in continuous use, although in recent years usage has been very light, such that the mileage now stands at a very modest 62,000, with documented services at appropriate intervals throughout. Evidence of the car’s excellent health may be found in the current MOT certificate, which shows no advisories and is valid until January, 2027, but more so in the health check report issued in January, 2026, by JCT600 Mercedes-Benz of Sheffield. The report gave the Mercedes a totally clean bill of health, with every item checked or tested given a “green” rating. The S600L is a very rare car, with probably not more than a few dozen still to be found on British roads. They seldom appear for sale, and this one surely ranks among the best. It is supplied with the V5C and the stamped service book showing long Mercedes-Benz main dealer and specialist service history.

Reg No: XGJ 942W

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 23601747B

A sympathetic update of the Series I, the Series II debuted in April, 1958. Featuring sill panels and rounded belt line, the sleeker sheet metal was the work of David Bache over an improved chassis. Thus, as well as better rear wheel articulation and sharper steering, the Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox with synchromesh on third and fourth. Available with a choice of 2¼-litre petrol or two-litre diesel engines, the Series II could be had with 88in. or 109in. wheelbase. Its popularity resulted in 62,000 sales in its first two years of production. Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from improved cooling and the arrival of a 2¼-litre diesel engine. Export models had headlamps repositioned in the front wings for 1968 with domestic models gaining the same revision in 1969. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some as the most durable Land Rover ever. In active service with 29 Commando Regiment when new, this Land Rover later transferred to use by HM coastguard. Fitted with the desirable 2¼-litre petrol engine and overdrive gearbox, it is believed to have covered only 14,000 miles from new. Offered with Swansea V5C.

1960 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: 553 AAB

MOT: November 2026

No Reserve* Chassis No: AN533432

Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Austin-Healey 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, twin carburettor, 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. Today, the Sprite is legendary as one of the best-handling Sports Cars of its time and regularly lives up to its reputation with many of them still finding use in competition events internationally. Finished in red with a black interior this Frogeye has been in current ownership since 2020. The subject of a previous mechanical and bodywork restoration, it benefits from electronic ignition, electric fuel pump, overhauled HS2 carburettors, overhauled brakes and wheels, new thermostat, recovered seats, new clutch, all new fluids and a service. Offered with a large collection of invoices including many from AH Spares and current Swansea V5C. Furthermore, it is expected to possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale. 24

Chassis No: SAJAC031377N74126

This arresting S-type Sport is believed to have started life as a dealer demonstrator, finished in the attractive colour scheme of Frost Blue with an interior predominantly in Warm Charcoal, with Nimbus Grey headlining and Flint Grey carpets. Its superb specification included an automatic transmission, multi-stage heated front seats, a navigation system, a front cup holder, cruise control, a heated windscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, and various Sport items such as the seats, steering wheel and suspension. The Jaguar was retained by its first keeper until 2007, and was kept by the second until 2009. It was then with its third owner until 2018, and has been with its fourth since then. It has an impressive service history with 11 stamps, the first of which was issued at 12,158 miles in 2007 by the Jaguar Demo Centre. The following seven services up to 2017 (83,254 miles) were conducted by Hatfields Jaguar, and the latest three were undertaken at Halfords between 2019 and 2021 (93,853 miles). The car has been in storage since 2023, so although it runs it will require some recommissioning. It is supplied with the original jack, the V5C, the warranty sheet, and the full book pack including the owner’s manual and supplementary guides.

1928 Humber 9/20 Weymann Saloon

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: YW 6340

MOT: Exempt

2000 Jaguar XKR Silverstone Coupé Just 38,000 miles from new

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Chassis No: 5701

The Humber 9/20 is very highly esteemed among vintage enthusiasts, and no light car event would really be complete without one. The majority of 9/20s were built as open two-seaters, often in the memorable and attractive colour of Humber Mole, so it’s exciting to encounter one with an extremely rare Weymann saloon body, and finished in an unusual Blue-Grey. Believed to carry its original London registration, it is known to have been despatched new to Humber’s flagship New Bond Street showroom, where it may have served as a demonstrator. In more recent years, there are records of a mechanical restoration taking place in the 1990s. MOT history indicates that the Humber was on the road in 2011 and 2019, though it did little mileage between the two tests, and as of 2014 it belonged to a Humber Register member in Nottingham. It has spent the last few years on static display in a collection of vintage cars, and is accompanied by a significant history file, including correspondence back to the 1960s, factory records, extensive invoices, buff logbook, and instruction book. With good spares support available through the Humber Register, it is bound to be very well-received at VSCC Light Car & Edwardian Section events.

Reg No: W134 MBT

MOT: June 2027

Chassis No: SAJAC41J0YPA07659

This Jaguar is one of the fifty XKR Silverstone special-edition coupés, and has survived in remarkably original condition, having resided in the current long-term family ownership since 2003. Finished in the correct colour scheme of Platinum Silver with a Charcoal interior, it was purchased by a keen enthusiast and collector (the vendor’s father) from Evans Halshaw Jaguar in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, for £30,000 in February, 2003, at 28,980 miles. Thereafter, it was kept in regular use until c.2018, when it changed hands a couple of times within the family. The present owner has kept it in storage in their collection since 2019, but has recently had it serviced and MOTed, and will drive it to the sale from Staffordshire. The XKR’s mileage stands at just under 38,000 miles, and the no-advisories MOT is valid until June, 2027. As is to be expected, it has survived in lovely condition and remains thoroughly original, retaining not only its book pack but also an XKR Silverstone sales brochure and its 2003 sale invoice. The private registration in the photographs will not be included, but the car will carry the number plate ‘W134 MBT’. Eminently show-worthy and a very much a collector’s piece, this is surely one of the best-preserved XKRs on the market.

1965 Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato

Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000* Reg No: PHX 3E MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 815533001694 Renowned for innovative engineering and meticulous construction, Lancia introduced the Flavia at the Turin Motor Show in 1960. Developed under Antonio Fessia, it combined front-wheel drive with an aluminium flat-four engine and disc brakes on all four wheels, establishing a sophisticated platform for saloon, coupé, convertible and Sport derivatives. Unveiled in 1962, the Zagato-bodied Flavia Sport offered a striking interpretation of this advanced specification. Designed by Ercole Spada, its aluminium coachwork featured an unconventional nose, wraparound windscreen and distinctive side glazing extending into the roof. Lightweight outer panels over a steel supporting structure reduced weight, while the boxer engine provided a low centre of gravity. Initially offered with a 1.5-litre engine and subsequently in 1.8-litre form, the Sport combined Lancia’s engineering individuality with Zagato’s aerodynamic approach. The Flavia family also contributed to Cesare Fiorio’s early HF competition programme, helping establish the foundations of Lancia’s sporting success and enduring appeal to collectors. Finished in its original Inglewood Grey with a red interior, this 1965 Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato has been owned by the vendor since 1989 and was restored between 1990 and 1994. The extensive history file includes restoration photographs, an old-style logbook, past MOT certificates, original colour and upholstery charts, 1991 Zagato correspondence and numerous invoices. It is understood to have featured on the March 1996 cover of Classic & Sports Car. The vendor advises that Guy Croft rebuilt the engine in 2011, incorporating a 2-litre cylinder head. The original engine block accompanies the car. Track rod ends and wheel bearings received attention in 2021, and the speedometer has been recommissioned. Some bodywork requires attention, offering scope for improvement. The vendor reports that the V5C incorrectly records the chassis number as ‘1694’ rather than ‘1594’, requiring clarification and correction through the DVLA. A rare, distinctive Lancia with extensive history and documentation.

1965 Volvo P1800 S Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: FAP 570C Chassis No: 16145

MOT: Exempt

Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst working at Frua, the Volvo P1800 sports car was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer’s sleek two-door 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 (complete with five-bearing crankshaft and twin SU carburettors) 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 in April 1963 due to increasing concerns over fluctuating build quality. Never a major contender in the racing world, a P1800 did, however, finish second in class at the 1967 Daytona 24-hour race. Although, for many the Volvo is best remembered as Roger Moore’s steed in cult TV series ‘The Saint’ which ran from 1962 until 1969. Originally finished in the highly sought after combination of Pearl White (79-1) with Red upholstery (307-265) – the same colour scheme as Roger Moore’s personal P1800 S which appeared in later episodes of ‘The Saint’ – chassis 16145 was reportedly in single family ownership from 1966 – 2010. The subject of an extensive restoration during that time, the Volvo remains highly presentable. Believed to retain its original 1.8 litre engine (number 8170), the Coupe has formed part of a large private collection for the past fifteen years or so. Driven circa 20 miles since passing its last MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on August 17th 2017, the 2+2-seater is currently running and driving but would doubtless benefit from a thorough check over / recommissioning prior to any serious usage. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

1998 Mercedes CL 420 Coupe

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: R93 DWL

MOT: None

1 owner and just 13,500 miles

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Chassis No: WDB1400632A400225

This lovely example of a CL 420 in Azurite Blue Metallic with a Mushroom leather interior benefits from a particularly desirable specification, with equipment including burr walnut trim, an electric glass sunroof, front and rear folding armrests with storage trays, an electric rear window blind, and AMG wheels. Remarkably, the first owner kept it until 2001, and ever since then it has been in the care of just one family. Records show that it was in single ownership from 2001 to 2023, after which it has passed through two family members to create a total of four registered keepers. We are advised that it has always been dry stored while in this family’s possession, and is therefore described as “very good” in all areas by the vendor. After 28 years of use, the CL 420 has amassed only a modest mileage of just over 128,000. We expect it will provide thousands more miles of happy motoring, although it has not been in use since December, 2025, so some very light recommissioning may be required. Supplied with extensive service history, this fine survivor should suit any enthusiast of “youngtimer” cars.

Chassis No: YV1MK214272015692

Perhaps the most famous example of Volvo dependability was Irv Gordon’s P1800, which set a world-record mileage of 3,260,257 between 1966 and October, 2018. By contrast, this 2007 C30 has covered an extremely modest 13,500 miles from new, but in all that time it has more than adequately catered to the needs of just one owner and is showing no sign of getting tired. Purchased new from Volvo Riverside Motors in Doncaster on July 8th, 2007, the Volvo has led a pretty charmed life with careful maintenance throughout, as evidenced by the 17 service stamps (not including the pre-delivery inspection). Powered by the combination of the 1,798cc Mazda L-series straight-four (credited with 123bhp at 6,000rpm) and the five-speed Ford MTX-75 manual gearbox, it is difficult to imagine a better preserved C30 than this coming onto the market. Complete with two keys and the book pack containing the owner’s manual and the stamped service book, it is also supplied with many old MOTs and invoices, the V5C showing no former keepers. With a no-advisories MOT valid until August, 2027, this is a truly exceptional example of a once commonplace but now increasingly rare car.

2004 Rover 75 Connoisseur Just 18,500 miles from new

No Reserve* Chassis No: ZFAAS00B5C5002650

Introduced at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider was styled by Tom Tjaarda for Pininfarina. Based upon a shortened version of the 124 Saloon platform, its two-plus-two bodywork, folding hood and engaging road manners helped establish it as one of the enduring Italian sports cars of its era. By 1979, the model had evolved into the Spider 2000, combining Fiat’s celebrated 1,995cc twin-cam four-cylinder engine with Bosch fuel injection, five-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes. Finished in white with a burgundy interior, this 1982 example was acquired by the vendor in Florida during 2018 and shipped to the UK, and registered as ‘ADV 351X’. A spreadsheet records expenditure of approximately £28,799 over the following eight years, including its purchase, shipping and importation. The work encompasses an engine overhaul incorporating new pistons, connecting-rod bearings, gaskets, timing belt, tensioner and water pump. Further improvements include a remanufactured air-flow meter, distributor, steering and suspension components, wooden steering wheel, exterior mirror, fuel gauge, chrome windscreen wipers and badges. The burgundy interior presents well, while the bodywork requires attention in areas. This Spider represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a usable Pininfarina open-top designed classic.

Chassis No: SARRJSLPJ5D341744

This range-topping Rover 75 Connoisseur was supplied new by Reg Vardy of Aberdeen on September 30th, 2004, and retained by its first owner until 2018. Equipped as it is with the entry-level 1.8-litre straight-four engine and the desirable automatic gearbox, performance figures promised a 118mph top speed and 0-62mph in 12.3secs., plus satisfying fuel economy of 30.1mpg. It is now offered for sale having had just two owners from new, and remains pleasingly original even down to the dealer-fitted number plates. Both owners have used it very sparingly, so that it appears with a warranted mileage of just 18,500. As is to be expected, the Rover is supplied with original equipment and paperwork, including two keys, the jack, the combined owner’s manual and service book showing five documented services, and the V5C showing one former keeper. As one of the very last products of one of the oldest British car manufacturers, enthusiasts are increasingly coming to appreciate the 75’s place in history, to the extent that one was recently acquired for display by the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu. In this age of touchscreens and automation, it’s full of nostalgic charms and represents a very British type of ‘youngtimer.’

MOT: May 2027

Chassis No: WDB2093562F197034

Powered by the 3½-litre M272 V6 producing 268bhp, the CLK 350 was a genuinely sporty coupé with a claimed 0-62mph time of 6.2secs. This example was purchased from Mercedes-Benz Huddersfield for £39,150 and has been cherished in single ownership from new, and is in a really remarkable condition having covered just 8,000 miles in all that time. Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic with Alpaca Grey leather, it was built to an enviable specification with such features as heated front seats, luxury climate control, Parktronic sensors and a wood- and leather-trimmed gear lever. Having been used sparingly and maintained carefully, the Mercedes still retains original equipment including two keys, the first aid kit, and the book pack in its leather wallet. Surprisingly, almost all use has occurred since 2015, hence the first stamped service is from Mercedes-Benz Huddersfield in 2015 at 357 miles, and the three subsequent services have been by independent garages, most recently in 2026 at 8,224 miles. It is supplied with much paperwork including the V5C showing no former keepers, the original order form and PDI inspection sheet, and past MOTs. The private registration number is included in the sale, and the no-advisories MOT is valid until May, 2027. 30

Chassis No: 945352V219257

Introduced in 1957, the Vauxhall Victor quickly established itself as one of Britain’s most successful family cars, evolving through a series of increasingly sophisticated generations. By 1972, the Victor had reached the final and substantially restyled FE series, launched with crisp, modern styling and a choice of four-cylinder engines. Larger, more refined and better equipped than its predecessors, the FE was offered in saloon, estate and luxury 3300 SL form, providing comfortable long-distance motoring alongside practical family transport. This particularly well-preserved 2300 SL example is understood to have covered a genuine c.44,000 miles from new and presents in very good condition. Increasingly rare in unrestored form, it retains its original Almond Green paintwork complemented by a Tan leather interior, providing an appealingly authentic appearance. Offered with a fascinating history file, the Victor is accompanied by every tax disc purchased throughout its life, its original bill of sale and a current Swansea V5C. Representing a charming survivor from Vauxhall’s early-1970s heyday, this FE Victor offers the opportunity to acquire a remarkably original example of an increasingly scarce British family car.

The R230 was introduced in 2001 and continued the evolution of SL with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a ‘Vario Roof’ retractable hardtop, ‘Keyless Go’ keyless entry and smart key, and ‘Sensotronic Brake Control’ (SBC) electro-hydraulic power brake system. In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and a new front end that evoked the classic 300 SL with a large grille, a prominent three-pointed star and twin ‘power domes’ on the bonnet. It also featured new headlights, which gave the car a more modern look. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic over Exclusive Grey leather and with just 68,000 recorded miles and comprehensive service history this SL boasts an impressive factory specification including AMG styling pack, AMG wheels, paddle shift, panoramic roof, seat heating and BOSE sound system. Driving well at the time of consignment and intended to be driven to sale, it benefits from a recent oil service and is offered with Swansea V5C, data card and current MOT to September 2027.

After some five decades of rivalry both on and off the track, Ferrari acquired a fifty percent stake in Maserati during 1997 before assuming full control two years later. Notable as the first model to be launched under the Prancing Horse’s control, the 3200 GT was unveiled to the press in September 1998 by Ferrari’s then president Luca di Montezemolo. Powered by a 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 developing some 365bhp / 362lbft, the 2+2-seater could be had with six-speed manual or (from 1999) four-speed automatic transmission. Finished from the factory in the classy and elegant looking Blu Nettuno this 3200 GT is believed by the vendor to have been originally registered on the 22nd March 2002 by the well renowned dealer group H.R Owen as their demonstrator. Used sparingly, and with minimal owners this handsome looking Coupe has had significant expenditure lavished on it to keep it in the condition we find today. Only 2,000 miles ago marque specialist McGrath Maserati were in essence given a brief of ‘if it needs doing, do it’ hence the invoice on file for over £9,000. Vital items such as the clutch have been replaced as well as suspension, braking and coolant components amongst others. Offered for sale with invoices and current Swansea V5c.

2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: SL02 OGR MOT: November 2026 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z2S642748 A beautiful example painted in what we believe to be its original colour of Lapis Blue, this Porsche 911 was one of the first non-Turbo 996s to benefit from the desirable 3.6-litre engine. Having had only seven registered keepers across its life and covered just over 99,000 miles from new, it now presents in very good overall condition and even retains its rare body-coloured hardtop, making it the ideal year-round sports car. By 2004, the Porsche had been acquired by its fourth keeper, who was to run it until 2010. The fifth keeper kept it only until 2011, but the sixth keeper really fell in love with it and was to enjoy it across 15 years of motoring, from May, 2011, to June, 2026, when it passed to a family member. When the sixth keeper purchased it, it had covered about 65,500 miles, so it is reassuring to know that the 34,000 miles covered since have been the work of an appreciative enthusiast. The MOT history provides some evidence of the attention the car has received to keep it in good order. From its first test in 2005, it never acquired so much as a single advisory until 2013, and any faults which have been identified have always been remedied. It is especially pleasing to see that the 911 has passed its test every year since 2022 (97,886 miles) without acquiring any advisories, and the present unblemished MOT certificate was awarded in November, 2025, at 99,229 miles. Whether one’s preference is for modern sports cars, or one simply needs a dependable modern car to run alongside a fleet of older classics, the 911 Carrera 2 is capable of making any enthusiast smile, all year round and in all weathers. This example, supplied with documented service history, promises thousands of miles of enjoyable motoring.

1997 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Rare, low mileage, and low ownership!

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: P11 RJT MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: SCAZA12C2VCH59282 Supplied new by H. R. Owen in the regal colour of Wildberry, this Silver Dawn is pleasingly original and well preserved, having covered a warranted 54,000 miles from new across just four registered keepers. The first owner, J. & R. Naylors of Wakefield, retained it until 2015. Its second owner enjoyed it until 2022, and it has been in single ownership since, the present owner having bought it from Rolls-Royce specialist Hanwells for £33,000. Although it has been in single ownership since 2022, a new V5C was issued in August, 2026, implying a change of keeper. The outstanding service record with 23 stamps testifies to diligent maintenance from all the Dawn’s owners. The first two services in 1997 and 1998 were issued by Rolls-Royce Leeds, and the following three up to 2002 were by Rolls-Royce Belfast (Charles Hurst Ltd.). Later services were performed by Bentley specialists Michael Powles Ltd. and Broughtons of Cheltenham, MDL Specialist Cars, and Porsche specialist Ramus Porscha. Since 2012, servicing has been exclusively undertaken by Hanwells, with the most recent service completed in 2024 at 52,640 miles. The Dawn has received much maintenance from several marque specialists. In 2024, £6,700 was spent with Gordon Dale on drive belts, rear brake discs and pads, front drop links, distribution valves and pipes, some attention to the parking brake, and much more. The same year, Hanwells fitted a renewed engine control module for £2,000. In November, 2025, Gordon Dale rewired the ignition and fitted a new alternator and battery at a cost of £2,400. This excellent and show-worthy car was seen to run and drive very well for our photoshoot and is supplied with the toolkit, jack and warning triangle, and paperwork including the book pack, MOTs, invoices and the V5C.

1983 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet

Estimate: £38,000 - £45,000* Reg No: T.B.A

MOT: September 2027

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZES150063

A defining symbol of the aspirational ’80s, the Porsche 911 Carrera is a design which has aged extremely well, and we are very pleased to be handling the sale of this distinctly well-presented 3.2 example. It would perhaps be a cliché to associate the Porsche with a high-flying metropolitan professional, but its first owner appears to have been exactly that. Originally delivered as ‘A907 YGM’ through Porsche Cars Great Britain Ltd. in Reading on August 1st, 1983, to a Mr. Dennis Evans of D & D Design Consultants in Fulham. The car was purchased by the previous keeper in 2004, before entering the current registered ownership in 2007. Its early history is a subject which would be worthy of further research, as we note the date of delivery places the car at the very beginning of Carrera 3.2 production, predating its September motor show launch. Based on that, this must be one of the very first 3.2s to have been sold in the United Kingdom – so worthy of further research for a new keeper! Early owners appear to have taken good care of it, as it received regular servicing through the 1980s and into the 1990s. The well-stamped original service book contains a record of services being performed in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2004, by which stage the mileage had reached 132,538. While servicing in 1984 was performed by Porsche Cars Great Britain, later services were conducted by marque specialists such as the Mann Egerton & Co. Official Porsche Centre (1985), JonPaul Motor Services (1991-94) and Tony Greatorex (1995-97). In addition to the 18 service stamps, two invoices provide details of later services. The Porsche’s lovely condition is in part thanks to the present registered owner, who has invested considerably in bringing it up to a high standard of presentation. In 2010, it received new front wings and was completely repainted by well-known Porsche specialist Rennspeed. It returned to Rennspeed in 2011 to receive an overhaul of the engine’s top end, which cost in the region of £6,300. Following the engine work, the 911 was put into storage for around eight or nine years, so it is believed to have covered a mere 1,000 miles or thereabouts since the refurbished engine top end. Also in the present ownership, the interior has been renovated, with some work undertaken by Southbound Trimmers, a Porsche specialist. We would encourage prospective bidders to view the car in person in

order to gain a proper sense of the quality of the paintwork and interior. Despite minimal use since 2013, the 911 was seen to start readily, and both run and drive well during the recent photography session. Having had so much expenditure lavished upon it, this 911 is very much worthy of being shown, and, as one of the earliest examples of a Carrera 3.2, is a bona fide collector’s piece. It is sure to be well received at any number of classic car events and supercar gatherings, and within the Porsche Owners’ Club. It is supplied with a large history file, comprising invoices, the aforementioned service book, MOTs and correspondence dating back to the 1980s.

1981 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible

Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000* Reg No: GSK 454

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: DRH0050701

Rolls-Royce registered the Corniche name in the 1930s and apparently assigned it to a prototype based on the Bentley MKV, but the model was never progressed due to the onset of World War Two. The moniker was finally first employed in 1971 on the Coupe and Convertible versions of the Silver Shadow. In common with the Shadow, the newcomer was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley and the underbody and floorpan crafted by Pressed Steel Fisher. Initial assembly (including alloy bonnet, bootlid and doors) was thereafter entrusted to the coachbuilder Mulliner Park Ward of Willesden, London – by then a wholly-owned division of Rolls-Royce. At this stage the cars were transported to the main factory in Crewe for the installation of the running gear before returning to London for the trimming, painting and finishing. Power was provided by the company’s venerable 6.75-litre V8, whose origins could be traced back to the 1950s. This was mated to a GM Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission. Suspension was independent by coil springs all round, augmented by a Citroen-originated hydraulic self-levelling system. Braking was by discs, with ventilated units being phased in for 1972. Introduced some five years later, the second series version of the Corniche gained the same rack and pinion steering and improved front suspension geometry as its Silver Shadow II sibling. Further improved in 1979 / 1980, the coachbuilt cars adopted mineral oil for their hydraulic systems and a modified rear suspension set-up that presaged the one that the Silver Spirit would later adopt. The vast majority of the 2,017 second series Corniche Convertibles sold between 1977 and 1987 were to left-hand drive specification. Finished in stunning Willow Gold Metallic with its sumptuous Beige leather upholstery complimented by a Chocolate Brown dashtop, piping and Everflex soft-top, chassis DRH0050701 was originally supplied via Gauld’s of Glasgow for the princely sum of £63,757 (the equivalent of over £250,000 today). The original sales invoice pleasingly remains on file as do other documents which record the Rolls-Royce’s mileage in 1991 and 1994 as being 5,271 and 8,523 plus approximately 1,500 respectively. The latter, a sales invoice issued by the renowned marque specialist P&A Wood, suggests that the Corniche had undergone a speedometer change. Today, the luxurious convertible displays just 17,200 miles to its odometer and is thus thought to have covered less than 19,000 36

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

miles from new. Notably well preserved, the Corniche has been kept garaged throughout its life and seemingly only enjoyed on the occasional high day and holiday (apparently averaging a scant 416 miles per annum). Items such as the often lost Lucas fog light covers remain in situ as do numerous under bonnet stickers which are typically burnt off on higher mileage examples. Indeed, the seller deems ‘GSK 454’ to be in “exceptional overall condition” and highlights the cossetting interior with its lustrous wood veneers, power soft-top roof, all round electric windows, electrically adjustable seats, air conditioning, power steering, front / rear headrests and radio / cassette player.

1929 Sunbeam 16.9 Tourer Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000* Reg No: UL 7905 Chassis No: 5046K

MOT: Exempt

The 1920s witnessed Sunbeam win the French and Spanish Grand Prixs, finish second at Le Mans and set numerous Land Speed Records. Introduced in 1926, the 16.9hp was powered by a 2035cc (later 2193cc) OHV straight-six engine allied to fourspeed manual transmission. Reputedly capable of over 60mph (coachwork permitting), some 3,495 16.9hp cars are thought to have been made before the model was revised for 1931. Though, today survivors are comparatively few and far between. According to a June 2002 Motorsport magazine article entitled ‘Sweet Sunbeam Sixteen’ that was penned by founding editor Bill Boddy (whose wife had established The Sunbeam Register), chassis 5046K was issued with the London number plate ‘UL 7905’ on March 13th 1929. Surviving WW2, the Two-Seater with Dickey is known to have belonged to L.T. Wheeler Esq by 1950. Passing to his son six years later, the 16.9hp was then bought by marque enthusiast J. Lester Logue Esq who embarked upon a restoration which was only completed after his successor, Kenneth Dodd Esq, took possession during 1982. H.R. Mothersole Esq acquired ‘UL 7905’ in April 1986 only to sell it to Alan Pryor Esq. the following September. The latter covered some 16,200 miles aboard the Sunbeam including a trip to the Black Forest and the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register’s French and Jura rallies. Mr Pryor also reputedly treated the Two-Seater to some £18,800 worth of professional fettling in 1995. The 16.9hp is further understood to have had an additional £20,000 or so spent on it since 2014 (including a cylinder head refurbishment six years ago). The Sunbeam’s last long run was a 300-mile round trip to Beauileu for a STD meeting during June 2021, while its last MOT certificate expired in October 2024. Currently running and driving but sparingly used of late, ‘UL 7905’ would benefit from a thorough check over and recommissioning. A delightful Vintage Tourer with a well-documented history.

1961 Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 Desirable manual, overdrive example

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: OCP 329 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 204301DN This desirable home-market, 3.8-litre, manual and overdrive Mk. II is pleasingly original. Finished in its original colours of Cotswold Blue with a Dark Blue interior, it was manufactured on April 24th, 1961, and sold through Hoffmanns of Halifax to Denhams Dry Cleaners in Cleckheaton. Another early owner was Alan Ensoll, who ran several garages in the North Riding of Yorkshire. He recollected: “I first bought the car, I think, in 1963. It was a low-mileage, unmarked and gently driven example, which I sold to my accountant. Shortly after purchase, he damaged the nearside front wing, which we renewed. He then purchased an E-type from me and I resold the Mk. II to George Coverdale, a director at Dorman Long, who was retiring and wanted a car for special occasions. He kept the Jag until 1985 when he asked me to buy it back, which I did with alacrity as its total mileage was only 33,000!” Ensoll retained the Jaguar until 2005. Subsequently, it had just two owners between 2008 and 2025, and is offered with a remarkable mileage of around 45,700. With an excellent record of maintenance, it appears fundamentally unrestored and in an outstanding state of preservation. The previous owner purchased it for £38,000 from Spur Classic Cars in 2014 and immediately it received a light overhaul with new front and rear brake discs and pads, a new clutch, master cylinder and slave cylinder, and the rewiring of the engine bay. The fuel tank was replaced in 2015, a new starter was fitted in 2022, and the carburettors were renovated in 2024. Paperwork includes the V5C, a JDHT certificate, original sales brochures and owner’s literature, the original service book with five stamps from the 1960s, many MOTs dating back to 1984, detailed maintenance notes, some recent invoices, and written history from previous owners. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC No Reserve* Reg No: E427 YMJ

MOT: July 2027

No Reserve*

Chassis No: WDB1260452A276441

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

Fast approaching historic tax status, this Astral Silver 560 SEC has been well cared for by each of its three owners. Its first owner was Berkeley Safe Deposit of Davies Street, London, W1, and its specification was the height of luxury for 1987, including an electric sunroof, air conditioning, an electric aerial, velour upholstery, headlamp washer-wipers, electric front seats, and more.

The launch of the third-generation Range Rover (L322) coincided with an asset scramble for the leftovers of the Rover Group. Development of the L322, however, had already been largely shipped out to Munich, but the L322’s slick and clean modern design came from Solihull. Geoff Upex had become Rover’s design chief and concept director in 1995 and it was his vision for the L322 that beat a proposition from BMW’s chief designer, Chris Bangle. Monocoque construction transformed the L322’s on-road manners. The TD6 diesel engine was more efficient and cleaner than the larger petrol engines that dominated earlier models and offered much lower running costs, a greater range between refuels and unparalleled reliability. With only c.73,000 miles recorded from new this example is rated as “excellent” on many points by the vendor. An inspection of the images reveals the paintwork and wheels look in good order and the headlight lenses are not faded. It is fitted with front and rear park distance sensors alongside front and rear heated seats with electric seats in front. The vendor notes the radio is not currently working. Last serviced at 72,000 miles, it is supplied with service history, advisory-free MOT to September 2027 and Swansea V5C.

The Mercedes remained in single ownership until 1996. The second owner looked after it until 2013, and our vendor has been enjoying it since. Twenty-three Mercedes dealer service stamps were issued up to 2011 and 56,031 miles. Our vendor states, “The car has been part of my collection and always garaged. I have carried out routine servicing or taken it to my local garage.” Although the vendor has advised light recommissioning, the Mercedes was awarded a no-advisories MOT in July. Maintenance has included a renewed climate control unit in 2020, and new brake hoses for £500 in 2021. Paperwork comprises MOTs and copious invoices running back to the 1990s, a previous purchase invoice and letters from Mercedes-Benz. Two sets of keys are supplied, along with the book pack containing the service guide, the owner’s manual, the warranty manual and the service book.

1972 Volvo P1800 ES Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000* Reg No: JYW 897K

MOT: Exempt

51 Chassis No: 1440

Introduced in August 1971, the Volvo P1800 ES was arguably one of the world’s first ‘lifestyle’ estate cars (a genre now typified by the BMW 3-Series Touring). Finished in the rare colour combination of Sun Yellow (107) with Black (443-818) upholstery and Brown carpets, ‘JYW 897K’ is understood to have won numerous awards during the 1980s (including being judged ‘best-in-class’ at a Volvo Owners’ Club National Rally on one occasion). Accompanying paperwork dates back to the same decade with a more recent bill from 2018 detailing a new thermostat, fan belt, fuel pipe, radiator work and sundry other items. The odometer shows a credible c.65,200 miles (a figure substantiated, at least partially, by thirty-four old MOT certificates). Said to ‘start with ease and settle to a smooth idle when warm’, the P1800 ES is also considered by the seller, who was a time-served Volvo mechanic during the 1970s / 1980s, to be ‘a very easy car to drive’. The period Motorola radio / cassette player is complimented by what is thought to be the original tool kit. Equipped with the preferred four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, this distinctively hued P1800 ES is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s manual and history file.

1995 Jaguar XJ-S 4.0 Coupe No Reserve* Reg No: M830 XNO

MOT: July 2027

Chassis No: SAJJNAED3EJ195934

Launched in September, 1975, as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJ-S could only cheat time for so long and, in 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 per cent. new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3,980cc) or a soporific V12 (5,343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lb. ft. of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the four-litre XJS (Ford dropped the hyphen) could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996. This particularly appealing XJS is offered for sale from long-term ownership and has clearly been a cherished example, benefiting from an excellent maintenance and service history. Finished in the desirable shade of Carnival Red Metallic over a Cream leather interior, it presents an especially attractive combination. The car is accompanied by a large history file, which includes the original book pack, providing useful provenance and documentation for its life to date. A refined and capable Grand Tourer with enduring Jaguar appeal, this well-cared-for XJS would make a particularly enjoyable addition to any collection. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

1982 Ford Capri ‘RS’ Twin-Turbo

‘The Grey Prince’ Twin-Turbo Cosworth Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000* Reg No: BLY 296Y MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECCR97493 Specialists in Cosworth engined Fords, the Top Boss Performance owner was well used to Escort and Sierra builds, but in 2016 had not yet ventured far into the world of uprating Capris. Acquired by the (sadly now late) owner of Top Boss in 2016 as a nicely presented, standard Capri 2.8, he embarked upon the modification programme to build ‘The Grey Prince’. Fitted with a twin-turbo charged 2.9-litre V6 Granada Cosworth engine built by Top Boss, the engine also features an engine management system, twin intercoolers, an uprated radiator with twin electric fans, performance air filters, a custom plenum chamber, and a full custom exhaust system. The upgrades did not stop there with an uprated big brake kit with rear disc conversion, adjustable suspension front and rear, uprated suspension bushing all round, front anti-dive kit, and front upper strut brace. Cosemtics were not overlooked either, with Motorsport front splitter and rear spoiler, 15-inch alloy wheels, RS steering wheel, Ford Capri 280 Brooklands interior, and new gear knob all provided, as well as a full stereo system fitted too. A very well-known car in Ford circles, the Capri was a regular at Ford and classic car shows once the build was completed, with the engine bay always attracting attention as a real work of art! Last in regular use in c.2022, the Capri was then taken off the road for a bottom-half repaint. The strip-down and some metalwork started, but was sadly never completed. Once finished and recommissioned, this Capri will no doubt go as well as it looks, with a Dyno sheet showing some 456hp! Supplied with a history file including previous invoices, MOT certificates dating back to the 1990s, rolling road print out, original stamped service book, and current V5C document. A rare opportunity to acquire such a wellbuilt car, ‘The Grey Prince’ will no doubt be the talk of any car event!

1962 Bedford CA2 Dormobile Romany

Restored by Dormobile themselves Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000* Reg No: 129 XPL MOT: Exempt Chassis No: CALV4219114

Brian, a genuine 1962 CA Dormobile was purchased in 2022 from a garage in North Devon as a birthday surprise for the vendor’s wife, whose father had owned one, vowing he would bring it back to glory for her. He engaged with Dormobile themselves regarding a ‘no compromises’ restoration using correct parts to achieve this. Paul Herwig, the longest serving Dormobile employee remaining was project manager, the task being his swansong before retirement. Once work started the condition of the vehicle revealed it was going to be a big project. A donor CA Dormobile was also purchased and it is not possible to list the works as ‘virtually everything’ was attended to. The costs leapt and the vendor told us, ‘There was just no turning back’. The bill from Dormobile was £69,000 alone. With the original and donor van and further ancillary costs the total is well over £80,000. This is documented in the September 2023 edition of Classic Cars. The entire body was stripped and re-panelled, the engine, transmission and drive equipment completely overhauled and everything else in between. In keeping with the quest for originality the column gear shift was retained. The search for original parts resulted in a virtually original interior including the orange sink. Finished in the original colours of Lime Green and Dormobile White, Brian is a 4-berth top-of-the-range deluxe version with fold down seats forming a double and 2 single beds. Equipped with original cooker, pop top, cupboards, sink with water supply, drop down tables and original Dormobile fabric curtains all round. Brian started readily on inspection and according to our vendor everything works exactly how it should. Perfect for Goodwood Revival or any vintage camping event, it would be difficult to find something as authentic as this beautiful period motorhome. Available with an auction estimate at a fraction of what it cost to create.

1948/79 Bentley Mk VI Mallalieu Barchetta

No. 21 of c.44 Mallalieu Cars Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: MNV 700

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B199CD

An accomplished engineer who was no stranger to racing – campaigning his ex-Count Czaykowski, René Dreyfus and Aubrey Esson-Scott 1931 Bugatti Type 51 Grand Prix car (chassis 51126) at Silverstone, Oulton Park and Prescott – Derry Mallalieu emigrated to the USA in 1959. Founding Grand Prix Engineering in South Nowak, Connecticut, he also became the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club of America’s Technical Advisor. Gifted a dilapidated Bentley MKVI Saloon by his wife Sybil in 1965, Mallalieu transformed it into an aluminium-bodied two-seater sportscar which he christened the Barchetta. Such was the acclaim that the latter received when its creator returned to the UK in 1970, plans were soon put in place to use it as the basis of a handbuilt production model. Based in Wootton, Oxfordshire, Mallalieu Motor Cars completed some forty-four Bentley MKVI and R-Type based machines. Each one was tailor made and took five months to complete. The straight-six engine (of 4¼ or 4½ Litre capacity) and four-speed manual gearbox were relocated eighteen inches further back in the cruciform-braced chassis and the suspension recalibrated for a significantly lower kerb weight. Performance, handling and braking were all improved over the original Crewe design. Commissioned by James Christian Culverwell Esq, Mallalieu Build Number 021 (chassis B199CD) emerged from their Works on February 1st 1979 complete with a rejuvenated 4¼ litre engine (B295E) and mechanicals. Bodied in aluminium over a square section steel tube frame, the 2+2-seater was finished in White with Tan leather upholstery. Completed to left-hand drive specification and road registered as ‘MNV 400’, the reconfigured Bentley was the subject of articles in the Illustrated London News and Old Motor Magazine. It also appeared in ATV and BBC television programmes (Mr Culverwell likening his ownership experience to a love affair when interviewed for the former piece). Inherited by Geoffrey Tom Culverwell Esq during 1990, the Mallalieu passed to Brian Houseman of Old English Classics who had it converted to right-hand drive (complete with a demountable gear lever for easier ingress and egress). Sold to one of Mr Houseman’s Japanese clients in 2000 before being repatriated thirteen years later, the 2+2-seater had been repainted Green by the time that the vendor bought it during May 2021. An authority on Mallalieu cars, he has primarily entrusted its maintenance to the

renowned Bentley specialist Padgett Motor Engineers with expenditure during his tenure reputed to have exceeded £15,000. 2022 saw the petrol tank fuel tap replaced, the radiator repaired and pressure tested, the battery renewed and five Michelin X radial tyres fitted. 2023 witnessed the battery isolator switch under the driver’s seat being replaced, the ignition system refurbished (distributor serviced, new rotor arm / condenser / points / plugs) and the brake system overhauled. 2025 brought a refurbished exchange dynamo and new fan belt plus a Woodruff key / keyway failure on the pinion shaft which resulted in the crown wheel and pinion being exchanged for a matched pair and a full differential and bearings inspection being conducted by Padgetts. Treated to a new coil when returned to the same firm for servicing earlier this year, ‘MNV 400’ is understood to have covered a mere 20,572 miles or so since being ‘reborn’ as a Mallalieu. Prominently featured in ‘Bentley Specials and Special Bentleys’ by Ray Roberts, the cars that Derry Mallalieu and his family built are justly regarded as among the best of their kind. Falling within the first half of production, Build Number 021 boasts a higher Bentley content than some of its later siblings which used lesser componentry in a bid to save costs (a Mallalieu was not far short of Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow / Shadow II money when new). Worthy of close inspection, this handsome Bentley is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, handbook, printed and CD copies of its period press and TV appearances and paperwork file.

1966 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: FHJ 344D MOT: Exempt Chassis No: HBJ8L34956 The Austin-Healey 3000 was introduced in 1959 and steadily developed into the MkIII, launched in 1963. The final evolution of the celebrated ‘Big Healey’, the MkIII combined its charismatic 2,912cc straight-six engine with increased power and refinement and remains one of the most desirable British sports cars of its era. This 1966 MkIII Phase 3 was imported from the USA and subsequently subjected to an extensive, reputedly ‘no-expense-spared’ restoration. The engine was bored out and thoroughly overhauled, together with the overdrive gearbox, while the body was treated to a bare-metal respray. The impressive mechanical specification includes a 9.3:1 compression ratio aluminium lead-free cylinder head, 123 electronic distributor, six-branch stainless-steel exhaust manifold, 80-amp alternator, high-torque lightweight starter, aluminium sump and rocker cover and a bespoke aluminium radiator. Further improvements include a new-old-stock 3.54:1 differential, MGF-derived power-assisted steering, four-pot Coopercraft brake calipers, an aluminium fuel tank and stainless-steel wire wheels. The current owner purchased the Healey at auction in July 2022, at which time it was recorded as having covered just 1,874 miles since completion of the restoration. The odometer now displays approximately 3,837 miles, showing that fewer than 2,000 additional miles have been covered during the present ownership. Finished in Red with a Black leather interior, the Healey continues to present extremely well and, in the vendor’s opinion, remains every bit as impressive as the day he acquired it. Testament to the confidence with which it is regarded, the car is intended to be driven to the auction. Offered with its current V5C, Heritage Certificate and an extensive history file documenting the restoration and subsequent maintenance, this is a particularly well-presented, extensively restored and thoughtfully upgraded example of the ultimate, legendary ‘Big Healey’. 46

1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: KGE 86L MOT: Exempt Chassis No: UD1S23062BW By 1971, Jaguar’s jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat’s performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sports car fresh claws in the shape of a 5,343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. Shortly after it arrived on these shores in 2014, chassis UD1S23062BW was submitted for a Silverstone Auctions sale and described thus: “This highly original Primrose Yellow Series III Roadster has been in the same family since new. Having spent most of its life in the warm climes of the ‘The Golden State’ of California, the body shows no signs of rust and the soft top remains unmarked, testament to its infrequent use. For the entirety of its life in the United States, the car had been lovingly stored in a heated garage”. Displaying a credible but unwarranted 58,381 miles at the time, the past dozen years have only seen a hundred or so miles added to the odometer. Initially specified with air-conditioning which has subsequently been removed, a real rarity on this side of The Pond but doubtless a boon in the Californian sunshine, the Jaguar also boasts power steering and automatic transmission meaning that it should be well suited to touring. Converted to right-hand drive and re-trimmed in Black leather with a matching mohair soft-top, ‘KGE 86L’ is thought to retain the vast majority of its Browns Lane sheetmetal and paintwork and is fitted with an aftermarket ignition system. Previously supplied by Peter Jarvis Classic Cars, the Roadster has been dry stored of late and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Chassis No: WDB1260452A420008

Supplanting the 500 SEC as flagship of the Mercedes-Benz C126 range, the 560 SEC was launched at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sharing the same basic M117 engine architecture as its lesser sibling, the new model employed a longer stroke and Bosch KE 111 Jetronic ignition. Credited with some 300bhp and 325lbft of torque in non-catalyst guise, the 560 SEC boasted four-speed automatic transmission as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 150mph, the high-performance coupe proved a rewarding and enjoyable drive thanks to its all round independent suspension (complete with back axle acceleration stabiliser), four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering. The fastest, most powerful Mercedes-Benz of its generation, the 560 SEC was a strong seller with some 5,299 despatched worldwide in 1989. Finished in Diamond Blue Metallic complemented by a blue velour interior this UK-supplied example was first registered on 1st August 1988 and has been in long-term ownership. Registering some 163,500 miles from new, it comes with a current MOT to July 2027, stamped service book, original handbook and a collection of old MOT certificates and sundry invoices.

Refinished when new to a unique specification, this XJ6 Sport is a very special survivor. It was supplied to Evans Halshaw as a demonstrator in the rare but fetching combination of Aquamarine Blue with Beige leather upholstery, and was enhanced by the dealership with chrome XJS Celebration wheels and an upgraded BOSE sound system. Having been registered to Evans Halshaw on June 28th, 1997, it was retained until July 10th, 1998. To date, it has had only four registered keepers, with the present owner having bought it directly from Evans Halshaw in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, in 2002 at 48,000 miles. Our vendor purchased it not for daily use, but with a mind to preserving it in his collection. It has spent the last twenty years primarily on static display, but it has been MOTed and lightly exercised roughly every three or four years. Having now covered around 50,150 miles, it is offered for sale following a recent service, with a no-advisories MOT valid until May, 2027, and will be driven to the sale from Staffordshire. As is to be expected, it appears as an extremely well-preserved and original car, although a new headlining was fitted in the summer of 2026. Documentation includes the 2002 sale invoice.

Introduced at the April 1996 Turin Motor Show, the Mercedes-Benz SLK (R170-series) succeeded in widening the marque’s appeal to a younger demographic. The most popular variant due to its blend of performance and economy, the SLK 230 was powered by a supercharged 2.3-litre engine allied to automatic transmission. With some 190bhp/207lbft on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds, 144mph and 40mpg. Built during November 1998 to order number 0853744481 for the UK market, chassis WDB1704472F103468 was finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with two-tone Light / Dark Grey leather upholstery. Sporting carbonfibre trim to its centre console, not to mention a cup holder and air conditioner, the Mercedes-Benz has had seven former keepers the last of whom retained it for over a decade. Warranted to have covered a modest c.64,000 miles from new, the SLK 230 passed its most recent MOT test on September 14th 2026 with ‘no advisories’. The retractable hardtop was in working order during our recent photography session.

Built during 1931, this hugely attractive six-cylinder Alvis retains its original Atlantic saloon coachwork by Carbodies, which is unusually clad with mostly Aluminium paneling and a fabric roof. An early SA variant with a short chassis, it is fitted with the 2,148cc engine mated to a close-ratio gearbox with a high-ratio back axle. Much of the history has been lost during a previous ownership period, however it is said to have been completely restored during the 1990s and has been cherished in private collections since. Our vendor acquired it from a collector in Scotland in 2024 and immediately fitted it with a new clutch acquired from the Alvis register spares department. We are told that it remains sumptuously original, with most of its correct interior remaining in fine original condition and much of the correct external hardware also present. Now offered for sale as our vendor has another pre-war car project that is now nearly roadworthy and the Alvis is currently taking its garage space; it would be very suitable as a starter post-vintage thoroughbred that is said to be able to out-accelerate 3-Litre Bentleys from a standing start! *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

In W221-generation S63 AMG guise, this saloon gained AMG’s naturally aspirated 6.2-litre M156 V8, delivering formidable performance alongside the refinement expected of the marque. A seven-speed automatic transmission and Active Body Control hydraulic suspension completed its mechanical specification.

Introduced in July 1957, the ‘Nuova 500’ utilised a different mechanical layout to its ‘Topolino’ predecessor. Still driving the back wheels, its rear-mounted, two-cylinder, air-cooled, 499cc OHV engine was a first for Fiat. Mated to a four-speed crash gearbox and with a kerbweight of little more than 500kgs, the diminutive city car was capable a 61mph top speed. Equipped with all round independent suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the 500 in all its guises was a hoot to drive. Launched in 1968, the ‘L’ or Lusso (luxury) version featured the same front-hinged doors and revised transmission as its ‘F’ forebear but added various internal and external trim upgrades (among them the famous ‘bull bars’). First registered on 1 September 1969 this 500 registers some 42,000 miles and is fitted with a 650cc engine from a Fiat 126 and synchromesh gearbox. Benefiting from a number of upgrades and improvements including; front disc brake conversion, rebushed suspension and replaced shock absorbers, inner and outer sills replaced, stainless steel bumpers, sports exhaust, inertia reel seat belts, Abarth trim with sports steering wheel, CD Radio and electric screen washers. The tyres are said to be as new and this tax, MOT and ULEZ exempt example comes complete with sunroof, spare wheel, jack and tools plus a current V5c document.

1997 Mercedes-Benz S 320 No Reserve* Reg No: R765 DNV

MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB1400322A369579

We are very pleased to offer this characterful and well-specified S 320, which has had just four registered keepers from new, the third retaining it from 2001 to 2024. Painted in Brilliant Silver Metallic with a Black leather interior, its desirable equipment includes heated and electrically adjustable front seats, a rear folding armrest with storage tray, burr walnut trim, an electric sliding roof, and headlamp cleaning equipment. As the 320 name denotes, it is powered by the 3.2-litre M104 V6, said to produce 228bhp and deliver a maximum speed of 140mph and a 0-62mph time of around 9secs. This S 320 is believed to have been a Mercedes-Benz fleet car when new, as implied by the first two stamps from the pre-delivery inspection and the 1998 service at 9,169 miles, which were completed at the Mercedes-Benz Centre’s Company Car Workshop. The following six services up to 2010 were performed by Mercedes main dealers, and four subsequent services were completed by the marque specialist WDM Cars, the most recent occurring at 91,401 miles in 2019. With the mileage now at 102,000, this Mercedes should have a long life ahead of it. It is supplied with the V5C, the stamped service back and assorted past MOTs.

1930 Ford Model A Estimate: £13,000 - £17,000* Reg No: BF 8834

MOT: Exempt

65 Chassis No: A2635451

Henry Ford’s mass production techniques made motorised transport affordable for all with the Model T. The Model A followed in 1927 and this beautifully presented example was imported from California and registered in 2019 as BF8834. After a year of cleaning and investigating the vehicle for its repair and restoration requirements, it became a ‘Covid Project’ to bring it back to its former glory. With the help of local classic vehicle restorers and vintage parts specialists, the restoration project consumed the next 4 years, steadily returning the vehicle back to its original and authentic condition. Since completing the job, the vendor has enjoyed driving it around his local country roads, and has also taken it to a few classic vehicle events. When out and about, it has always attracted plenty of attention, being a car that is rarely seen on UK roads. The Model A typifies 1930s America, and while millions were built, many survivors have been heavily customised, being the go-to starting point for ‘Hot Rod’ conversions. The chassis number quoted is from the V5C, not clearly visible on the body. It will be supplied with some original US paperwork, a copy of the Californian Title, and a current V5C.

1994 Land Rover 90 Defender Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: L784 SCL MOT: August 2027 Chassis No: SALLDVAF7MA943146 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. In 1991 these became the Defender 90 and 110, and with their superior load capacity, handling and ride comfort, they proved strong sellers. The new models with their more modern engines, transmissions, and interiors reversed the huge decline in sales that took place in the 1980s. Throughout the 1990s they attempted to climb more and more upmarket, while remaining true to their working roots. Available with a choice of petrol or diesel engines, they were bought as much as lifestyle vehicles as workhorses. This Land Rover Defender has been subject to an extensive and loving restoration consisting of a full professional respray with contrasting black roof and wheels along with a V8 engine conversion from the original 200/300 Tdi. A new stainless-steel exhaust makes for a wonderful sound. The interior is also new, with leather front seats with cubby box, new smaller steering wheel allowing for more room, new carpet that continues into the rear compartment and a new roof lining. This not only feels more luxurious but reduces road noise too. The restoration was not just cosmetic, the chassis has been replaced, and the underside is said to be in very good condition. This comprehensively restored Defender 90 has had thousands spent to make it very special and really needs to be seen in order to be fully appreciated. ‘L784 SCL’ is offered for sale with a collection of invoices which include Astwood 4×4 Ltd in 2018 for £7,500, old MOT certificates and a current V5c document.

1975 Fiat 124 CS Sport Spider Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: KFX 508F MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 124CS10097524 Introduced at the November 1966 Turin Salon, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider was styled by Tom Tjaarda of Pininfarina whose previous work had included the Ferrari 330GT 2+2 and 365 California. Commendably light, the newcomer’s two-door monocoque bodyshell was built by the Italian carrozzeria too (though, Fiat assumed responsibility for final assembly). Borrowing heavily from its 124 saloon sibling, the 2+2-seater featured all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double-wishbone front / Panhard rod-located ‘live’ axle rear), four-wheel disc brakes and worm-and-roller steering. Designed by ex-Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi, its four-cylinder engine featured an aluminium DOHC crossflow cylinder head. Progressively enlarged from 1.4 litres to 1.6 litres (1970), 1.8 litres (1974) and finally 2.0 litres (1979), the free-revvving unit was allied to four-speed (later five-speed) manual transmission. Incorporating such thoughtful features as intermittent wipers and a hood that could be raised in under twenty seconds, the Sport Spider proved a great sales success. A staple part of Fiat’s model range until 1982 just under 200,000 are thought to have been made (though, over eighty percent were shipped to North America). Reputedly supplied new in North America, chassis 124CS10097524 was imported to the UK during 1990. Remaining to left-hand drive specification, the Fiat has self-evidently been treated to much past restoration work including the fitment of European-style chrome bumpers and a respray in Powder Blue. The Black soft-top and Red upholstery are in good order as is the wooden dashboard. The accompanying HPi report lists the engine capacity as 2000cc suggesting that Spider has been uprated with a later powerplant. Part of a large private collection since 2015 and very sparingly used during that time, ‘KFX 508F’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Elegant and sporty in equal measure, this appealing 124 Sport is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and assorted paperwork.

1955 Jaguar XK140 Drophead Coupe Subject to a ‘chassis up’ restoration

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000* Reg No: 656 XVP

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 818230

Launched at the 1954 Motor Show, the XK140 boasted the same bewitching styling as its forebear but allied it to a host of important mechanical improvements. Chief among these was the adoption of rack and pinion steering. Though, the fitment of telescopic shock absorbers (in place of the XK120’s antiquated lever arm dampers) also had a noticeably beneficial effect on handling / roadholding. With its engine and bulkhead repositioned three inches further forward, the new model enjoyed a notably roomier cabin (the fixed and drophead coupe variants gaining occasional rear seats as a result). Available in ‘standard’, ‘special equipment’ or ‘special equipment plus C-type cylinder head’ guises, power and torque outputs ranged from 190bhp / 210lbft to 210bhp / 213lbft. Distinguished by its one-piece bumpers and simpler, more imposing radiator grille, the XK140 was among the fastest cars of its generation. Reputedly capable of over 130mph, it focused public consciousness on Jaguar’s continued success at Le Mans (the Coventry marque winning the endurance classic in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957). According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 818230 was completed on December 28th 1955. Dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York two months later, the XK140 Drophead Coupe was resident in Maine by the time that the vendor acquired it for $35,400 during 2014. Repatriated that same year, the car was then stored until 2019 when its restoration was begun in earnest. The body was removed from the chassis and both items soda blasted back to bare metal. Former Denis Welch Motorsports employee Chris Brown renovated the coachwork; a process which involved cutting-out any corrosion and letting-in new metal / panels sourced from Leaping Cats of Nuneaton. Found to be reassuringly ‘rust free’, the chassis was coated with epoxy based paint and delivered to Barry Owen of Malta Classics in Anglesey who commenced reassembly with a right-hand drive steering rack, uprated Zeus braking system (discs all round) and new suspension bushes etc. A new radiator and fuel tank were fabricated in aluminium to the original dimensions and the car rewired throughout (including auxiliary power outlets secreted in the glovebox). The engine – a correct-type XK140 unit numbered G4510-8S – was thoroughly overhauled by Jim Stokes Workshop of Burton-on-Trent and upgraded with a later cylinder head, aluminium sump and hi-torque starter motor. The five-speed manual gearbox and limited slip differential were purchased from Realm Engineering and Trevor Groom Racing respectively. Classic Woodwork of 54

Birmingham supplied a new, right-hand drive wood veneered dashboard, while JJD Instruments of Keighley rejuvenated the gauges. HCF Howell of Walsall renovated the brightwork. Though, the stainless steel wire wheels shod with Blockley tyres came courtesy of MWS. The restored body was reunited with the chassis and given eight coats of Cream paint replicating its original factory finish. Renowned marque specialists CMC of Bridgnorth comprehensively retrimmed the interior using leather to cover the door cards as well as the seats and fabricating the hood and hood bag in matching Dark Blue. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the 2+2-seater has covered a mere 200 or so post-completion miles (though, the speedo drive was only connected for the last 30 or so of these). As such, further shaking down / de-bugging might well prove necessary. A reluctant sale due to the vendor’s ongoing mobility issues, this handsome and subtly enhanced XK140 Drophead Coupe has the makings of a fantastic tour / event car. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and paperwork file.

1970 Ford Escort RS1600 Comprehensive restoration completed in August this year!

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000* Reg No: VDF 300J

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: BB49KJ02838

This Escort RS1600 really stands out on account of its having just emerged from a painstaking restoration which has been completed over the course of 30 years. This example is particularly desirable, being from very early in production and an original road car. Sources variously claim that total RS1600 production numbered either 947 or 1,153 cars – either way, very few were made and original survivors are extremely scarce. Registration records show that ‘VDF 300J’ was originally finished in Ermine White and registered to Stephen Hodsman of Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, on August 18th, 1970. On December 17th, 1971, it passed to Martin John Fisher of Dundry, near Bristol. It changed hands again on April 13th, 1972, going to Ivan Douglas Hardy of Old Buckenham, Norfolk, and two further owners took possession over the following twenty-four years, but by the time it was acquired by our vendor – only the sixth registered keeper – in September, 1996, it was in a partially stripped state and in need of a major restoration. The restoration got underway in 1997 and required the extensive renewal of the bodywork, with many new old-stock panels being used in place of the old ones. Once the body was in good order, it was primed and repainted in its original colour of Ermine White, before life’s twists and turns got in the way and brought the project to a standstill for around five to ten years. Returning to the car with renewed vigour, the owner began his mechanical overhaul, which saw the suspension renovated with refurbished springs, an overhaul of the rear axle, the renewal of the fuel system, and a new exhaust system. While the car appears to be largely correct and faithful to its original specification, a few sensitive upgrades have been implemented, of which vented brake discs are perhaps the most notable. The interior did not require such extensive restoration, and although it has been fitted with new carpets, the seats and door cards have been kept original. During the later stages of the restoration, the body shell was furnished with new exterior trim, and the nearly-finished Escort was returned to the owner in 2024. The only major job remaining was to have the engine thoroughly overhauled, and that was finally completed in August, 2026.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Since then, the owner has been eager to get some enjoyment from the car, although circumstances mean it must be sold. He has covered between 100 and 150 miles of running-in, hence the engine is presently still lubricated by running-in oil, and it will be the next owner’s privilege to complete the rest. Once the running-in stage is over, it should be tremendous fun on the road and is bound to turn heads wherever it goes. Having been recognised as a genuine RS1600 by the Ford AVO Owners’ Club, it will be especially welcome at the major Blue Oval events such as the Ford Fair at Silverstone, the Ford Show at Santa Pod, and the Classic Ford Show in Sussex. Both the history and the restoration have been well documented, with the paperwork including an assortment of MOT certificates dating back to 1978 and 59,647 miles, plus a detailed photo album filled with restoration pictures. In addition, the Escort is supplied with a fitted car cover. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after fast Fords which has been hidden from view for at least 30 years and now presents in wonderful condition.

1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: F383 RNM MOT: July 2027 Chassis No: SAJNV4840KC161473 While the XJ-S has a strong following in its native land, this particular V12 Convertible is quite out of the ordinary, being a left-hand drive model originally supplied to the USA. It was reportedly a single-owner car until circa 2001, when the second owner, an ex-patriate Swede, purchased it. He proceeded to keep it until circa 2021, when it was purchased by our vendor, an enthusiastic Jaguar collector, while he was living in Miami. With only 33,000 recorded miles, it was too good to ignore, and having enjoyed it for a few years he brought it to England with him and registered it in 2025, upon returning home to Shropshire. While in America, the Jaguar garnered an excellent reputation in Miami’s old car scene, where it was often shown, and it distinguished itself at the Miami Concours when it was awarded 97.9 out of 100 points. Our vendor has done much to maintain its high standard of presentation, and has spent money on items such as the new Dayton wire wheels and new tyres, which cost $6,000 and really lend a touch of Floridian glamour. A further £3,800 was spent earlier in 2026 on a new mohair hood and tonneau cover. Other expenditure has included the refurbishment of the centre console in 2013, new front and rear shock absorbers in 2014, a new steering rack in 2018, new starting equipment in 2021, and a new air-conditioning compressor in 2024. The Jaguar is to be sold with a wealth of paperwork including invoices for service and general improvement work, and the book pack in its original wallet. Also to be included are an assortment of spares and the original steering wheel. Now showing just under 35,000 miles, it has a no-advisories MOT until July, 2027.

1932 Ford Model 18 V8 Phaeton

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: PXS 457 Chassis No: TU1161

MOT: Exempt

Looking like an extra from the set of 1967’s Bonnie & Clyde picture, this beautiful Model 18 Phaeton is a real rarity. Figures published by the Early Ford V-8 Club of America indicate that just 2,706 1932 V8s were produced with the Type 35 Phaeton body, of which 1,274 were Standard models (with cloth upholstery) and 1,432 were Deluxe (with leather upholstery and scuttle-mounted side lights), but overseas production figures were doubtless smaller. This right-hand drive example was one of a handful assembled in South Africa. Although no early history is known, the Ford appears to have spent most of the present century as a museum exhibit. It is known to have belonged to the Den Hartogh Collection in the Netherlands, which was notable as the world’s largest collection of historic Fords prior to its dispersal in 2018. Following the Phaeton’s departure from the Hartogh Collection (which appears to have occurred before 2018), it returned to South Africa and spent time in a museum there, but in 2022 it was imported into the United Kingdom and acquired by our vendor, along with a 1932 Model 18 Fordor Sedan, at £51,500 for the pair. Finished to Deluxe specification, the car appears in lovely condition with evidence of past refurbishment, and desirable accessories such as the luggage trunk and the elegant leaping greyhound radiator mascot – a stylish detail originally devised by Edsel Ford for the upmarket Lincoln division. Perhaps the best feature, though, is the engine – the correct but very rare 1932-type pump-in-head unit. This very handsome car has so far seen little use on British roads, but it started readily and ran well for our photoshoot and would be a welcome sight at any American or pre-war car show. It is supplied with a V5C, which incorrectly records the year of manufacture as 1935.

Six-Light Saloon by Mulliner

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Chassis No: C18YF2517

Certainly one of the most stylish mass-produced pre-war cars, the appeal of the Ford Model 18 lay as much in its good looks as its powerful V8. Sedans were the most popular body style by far, and figures from the Early Ford V-8 Club of America show that 36,649 1932 Fordor (four-door) Sedans were produced, of which 12,489 were Standard models and 24,160 were Deluxe, although production figures in overseas markets were invariably smaller. This lovely Fordor was one of a handful produced in South Africa. Our car was imported in 2022 alongside a 1932 Model 18 Phaeton, both of which were promptly acquired by our vendor at a cost of £51,500 for the pair. Complete with a rare and highly desirable 1932-only pump-in-head engine, it is understood that it was restored for a South African motor museum, and consequently presents extremely well. However, it is believed that it has never been on the road, or even registered, since the restoration, and will therefore require both recommissioning and registration. A NOVA form has been completed and approved. Having never been seen at a British show, it is sure to be well received at any number of American or pre-war car events.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Reg No: LJ 6819

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 16735

Founded by the Lanchester brothers, the Lanchester Motor Company earned an enviable reputation for producing innovative, engineered motor cars noted for their refinement and understated quality. Following the marque’s acquisition by BSA in 1931, production transferred to Daimler’s Coventry works. Announced in 1932, the Lanchester Ten combined compact dimensions with engineering usually associated with more expensive cars. Its 1,203cc overhead-valve four-cylinder engine was allied to Daimler’s fluid flywheel and Wilson four-speed pre-selector transmission, providing notably smooth and straightforward progress. This handsome 1932 example features elegant six-light saloon coachwork by the respected Birmingham coachbuilder Mulliner. Understood to have been sold new in Bournemouth, it is reputed to have been originally owned by an actress. The car has remained with its current keeper for approximately 20 years and was finished from its original all-black finish into the present two-tone black and cream scheme around 15 years ago. During the current ownership, hubcaps were sourced and rechromed, and a stainless-steel exhaust system was fitted. A previous Best Vintage Vehicle winner at the Cromford Vintage Steam Rally, it is offered with maintenance and driver’s manuals, a period luggage trunk and its desirable registration number. Some recommissioning is required before returning to regular use.

1991 Ginetta G32 1.6 Convertible 1 of 16 Convertibles Produced

No Reserve* Chassis No: SCCTC12219HN40723

The Lotus Evora was based on the first all-new vehicle platform from Lotus Cars since the introduction of the Elise in 1995; of which the Exige introduced in 2000 and the 2006 Europa S are both derivatives. The Evora is the first product of a five-year plan starting in 2006 to expand the Lotus line-up beyond its trackspecialised offerings with the aim of making the Evora a somewhat more practical road car that would appeal to the mainstream. As such it is a larger car than the recent Lotus’ with an estimated curb weight of 1,350kg. Featuring a 2+2 configuration initially, a two-seater configuration followed later. The cooled boot behind the engine is large enough to fit a set of golf clubs, although Lotus Design Head Russell Carr denied this was intentional. The name ‘Evora’ keeps the Lotus tradition of beginning model names with an ‘E’. Manufactured in 2009, the Evora offered was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 19th of June that year. Finished in White complemented to a red leather interior ‘YJ09 HAE’ has covered c.38,500 miles and shows just 3 former keepers on HPI. Offered with history file, 2 keys and a current V5c document.

Launched in 1989, the Ginetta G32 marked a new chapter for the celebrated British marque, combining its traditional lightweight construction and sporting character with the practicality of a mid-engined road car. Penned by the International Automotive Design studio, its distinctive wedge-shaped body was wrapped around a steel monocoque chassis, with Ford power providing lively performance. Available in both Coupe and Convertible forms, the G32 was produced in relatively small numbers, ensuring rarity from the outset. Today, surviving examples offer an appealing combination of unconventional styling, engaging road manners and distinctly British character, with the Convertible particularly desirable among enthusiasts. This particular example is one of just 16 Convertible variants produced, making it a rare derivative of an already uncommon Ginetta. Displaying a genuine c.64,000 miles from new, it is finished in its original Dark Green paintwork complemented by a Cream leather interior. Offered for sale without reserve, the G32 is accompanied by a current Swansea V5C and represents an unusual opportunity to acquire one of Ginetta’s more distinctive modern-era creations.

Chassis No: 2J2576BW

Jaguar’s original XJ Saloon (retrospectively dubbed the Series 1) and its Daimler counterparts were introduced in 1968 and were the last models to have the personal input of Jaguar’s founder, Sir William Lyons. The striking two-door pillarless Coupe derivative was first shown five years later, at the 1973 London Motor Show. Production was heavily delayed, however, and did not get fully underway until 1975. The newcomer was based on the short-wheelbase Saloon and featured suitably lengthened versions of the standard car’s doors. There were two engine options – a 4.2-litre version of the ubiquitous DOHC XK unit and the 5.3-litre V12. The smaller-engined version came with the choice of manual or automatic gearbox. A total of 10,426 Jaguar and Daimler Coupes were produced before production ceased in 1978 – 8,214 were bestowed with the 4.2-litre engine. This particularly appealing XJ Coupé has been entered from long-term ownership of more than 20 years and has covered a credible c.111,000 miles from new with just five former keepers. Finished in the handsome combination of Fern Grey over a matching green leather interior, it presents as an especially attractive example of Jaguar’s iconic pillarless coupe. Offered with a large history file, original tool kit roll and current Swansea V5C document, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar’s most distinctive and desirable classic Grand Tourers. 62

This desirable overdrive example of the GT6, has been well cared for in the present family ownership, which began in 2018, and shortly before that was in a period of long-term ownership of nearly fifteen years (from 2002 - 2016). The Triumph has clearly been the beneficiary of a previous restoration to a seemingly very good standard, and its recent spell in dry storage – it has only covered around 400 miles since 2018 – has ensured that it has remained well-preserved. The GT6 benefited from substantial recommissioning work in early 2026 by A. R. Griffiths Classic Automobiles at a cost of more than £5,000. The work included a full service, installation of a new battery, carburettor cleaning, replacement of the rear wheel cylinders, renewal of various seals, and some attention to the electrics. Following the work, the car was put through an MOT test and passed with no advisories, the certificate remaining valid until May, 2027. It ought to be great car for some spirited driving during next year’s motoring season, and is supplied with paperwork including the V5C, the current MOT, and a few invoices from A. R. Griffiths.

The XJ40 was initially available with a choice of two variants of the straight-six AJ6 powerplant – the 2.9-litre SOHC unit (a derivative of Jaguar’s legendary V12) or the 3.6-litre DOHC engine. By 1989, Jaguar had been bought by Ford who changed the engine offerings to a 3.2-litre DOHC, a 4.0-litre DOHC one, or the 6.0-litre Jaguar V12 (introduced December 1992 and said to offer c.310bhp and 336lbft of engine torque at 3750rpm) with the four-speed automatic ‘J-gate’ transmission. They also replaced the often unreliable digital dashboard with conventional analogue instruments. The XJ40 shares many components that were developed for use on the following X300 model, from suspension, steering and brakes to interior switch gear. Supplied new by Evans Halshaw of Stoke-on-Trent this XJ6 3.2 registers some 55,000 miles and was last serviced in 2023 at 50,771 miles. With 3 former keepers, the last since 2018, the Jaguar is offered with handbook, service book, current MOT to August 2027 and a collection of invoices and old MOTs.

Reg No: XDD 831J

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: AAVC304377

Closed van and open flat-bed (“pick-up”) versions of the Minor were built from 1953 until the end of production. They were designed for commercial use with small businesses, although many were also used by larger corporations. Van versions were popular with the General Post Office, the early versions of these (to around 1956) having rubber front wings to cope with the sometimes unforgiving busy situations in which they were expected to work. Both the van and the pickup differed from the monocoque construction of the Saloon and Traveller variants by having a separate chassis. They also differed in details such as telescopic rear dampers, stiffer rear leaf springs and lower-ratio differentials to cope with heavier loads. The commercial versions were initially marketed as the Morris Quarter Ton Van and Pick-up, with a Series III designation applied from 1956. The names Morris 6cwt Van and Pickup was used following the introduction of the 1098cc engine in 1962 and 8cwt versions were added in 1968.

1932 Invicta S-Type ‘Low Chassis’ Evocation

Built at a cost of over £200,000 Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000* Reg No: FBK 563

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: MNJ10001

‘The low chassis Invicta was probably the best-looking sports car in the vintage tradition ever to be produced in England. I can think of no contemporary unsupercharged motor-car of similar capacity, made here, which could outperform it – and very few built elsewhere…’ (J R Buckley, ‘The 4½ litre S Type Invicta’, Profile Publications). Introduced at the October 1930 Motor Show, the Invicta S-Type allied the proven running gear of the existing 4½ Litre A-Type to a new chassis. A radical departure for the marque, the 9ft 10in wheelbase, ladder frame structure not only employed an underslung back axle but also had its springs located via nibs in the main leaves rather than shackle pins. As a result, the S-Type was imbued with a far lower centre of gravity not to mention a decidedly rakish air. Adding to the model’s aesthetic appeal were external exhaust downpipes that were sheathed within flexible chromium covers. Bodied by the likes of Vanden Plas, Carbodies, Lancefield, Corsica, Freestone & Webb, and Mayfair, the Invicta could be had as a Tourer, Fixed Head Coupe or Drophead Coupe. One of the fastest cars money could buy, the so-called ‘Low Chassis’ was soon proving its worth in competition. As well as victories at Brooklands and Shelsey Walsh, the S-Type took top honours on the 1931 Monte Carlo Rally. The latter was particularly impressive, and proof of the model’s inherent toughness, because driver Donald Healey had had an altercation with a telegraph pole during the opening stages! Handbuilt, only seventy-five or so S-Types were made up until the mid 1930s. Given its performance and looks, it is little wonder that Invicta’s most famous design has inspired numerous imitations over the years. A long-term Vintage Sports Car Club member and competitor, the late Alastair Barker was no stranger to commissioning copies of, or tributes to, iconic British sportscars. The owner of two Lagonda V12 ‘Le Mans’ Recreations, he jumped at the chance to acquire an Invicta ‘kit of parts’ during the late 1990s with a view to using it as the basis of a S-Type ‘Low Chassis’ Evocation. Taking over a decade to complete (2002-2015), the project is understood to have cost in excess of £200,000. Already familiar with the work of WO Bentley and Lagonda specialist

David Ayre who had constructed the more recent of his Lagonda V12 ‘Le Mans’ racers, Mr Barker asked the Thatcham-based restorer to modify an Invicta 1½ Litre-type chassis to accept a S-Type-style body. The latter was constructed by Ian Pitney of Pitney Restorations and comprised a traditional wooden frame panelled with aluminium, while Wessex Workshops were tasked with fabricating a hood frame. The Lagonda specialist Bishopgray spent hundreds of hours on the build from 2008 – 2014 including the overhaul and fitment of a second, Meadows 4½ Litre engine. Neil Haworth of Aldermaston painted the chassis, axles and bodywork and Gary H. Wright of Milton Keynes trimmed the interior. John Yeomans Cars Ltd refurbished the steering box, gearbox and front hubs, while Creed and Shore Motorworks fettled the back axle (reconditioned half shafts) and brakes. Thought to have covered a mere 100 miles or so since passing its first post-completion MOT test on December 17th 2015, the S-Type ‘Low Chassis’ Evocation is still in need of de-bugging / running-in. Unfortunately, ill health meant that Mr Barker never got to enjoy his creation properly. The accompanying V5C Registration Document lists ‘FBK 563’ as an Invicta Sports 4500cc (it also states ‘Declared Manufactured 1932’ under Special Notes). A testament to one man’s vision and perseverance, this decidedly handsome Evocation is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with a history file encompassing invoices, parts bills, design drawings and restoration photographs.

2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000* Reg No: LK11 UFW

MOT: None

Chassis No: SCA681501BUX01848

“Luxury cars abound, but there’s only one Rolls. And whatever one might think about the national origins of the new stewards, they seem to understand their mission. The new Phantom (the seventh generation of the name) has the craftsmanship, comfort, presence, and prestige of its predecessors. Call it tradition made modern.” – Tony Swan in Car and Driver, May, 2003 Less than five years after acquiring what is arguably the world’s most famous luxury car marque, the BMW Group had not only engineered a brand-new Rolls-Royce flagship but also erected a state-of-the-art production facility on the Goodwood estate within which to assemble it. Launched on January 1st, 2003, the seventh-generation Phantom marked a technological step change from its predecessors, yet was still unmistakably a Rolls-Royce. Based around a handwelded extruded aluminium spaceframe chassis clothed with aluminium and composite panels, the newcomer featured a highly sophisticated independent air suspension system mounted on steel subframes (double wishbone front and multi-link rear) as well as speed-sensitive power-assisted steering and massive four-wheel disc brakes. Developing some seventy-five per cent. of its peak torque at just 1,000rpm, the bespoke 6¾-litre V12 was eerily refined. Quoted as developing some 453bhp and 531lb. ft. of torque and allied to a six-speed automatic transmission, it gave the luxury saloon an improbable turn of speed with contemporary road testers achieving 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and 149mph. Initially contentious, the Phantom’s bold styling lent it a road presence that rivals simply could not match; although reviewers devoted almost as much ink to its rear-hinged ‘coach’ doors, discreetly-mounted Teflon-coated umbrellas and matchless interior. Put simply, BMW set a new benchmark for the luxury car market with its first ‘clean sheet’ Rolls-Royce design. While labelling any car as “the best in the world” might these days be deemed a cliché, our American cousins did hail the new Phantom as “The King of Cars”. It certainly had a price tag fit for royalty, the initial launch cost of £260,000 or so being the equivalent of £494,000 today (and that was before options). An imposing motorcar to begin with, chassis SCA681501BUX01848 is given extra visual gravitas by its Black Metallic paintwork, Gold detailing (Spirit of Ecstasy mascot, door handles) and rear privacy glass. Understood to have been completed to left-hand drive specification on November 1st 2010, the Rolls-Royce was issued with the UK registration number ‘LK11 UFW’ on April 7th 2011. Last 66

offered for sale via public auction on July 18th 2020 when it fetched £126,560, the Phantom VII was described as a one owner car that had covered three miles since being serviced by H.R. Owen at an indicated 7,107 miles. The accompanying MOT history suggests that the luxury saloon was taken off the road a matter of months later. It also records the Rolls-Royce’s first test taking place on March 3rd 2015 at 7,758 km (c. 4,840 miles). Switching the digital odometer from kilometres to miles can be done via the on-board computer and it is presumed that is what happened given that subsequent MOT tests have mileage (and not kilometre) readings ascribed to them. Now in need of recommissioning following a period of inactivity and showing 31,870 miles ‘LK11 UFW’ is surely worth returning to its former glory.

The S-Class is the top-of-the-line Mercedes model and was officially introduced in 1972. The S-Class models are flagship offerings for Mercedes-Benz, being positioned above the company’s other products. The 5th generation S-Class (W221) was introduced in the autumn of 2005 at the Frankfurt International Motor Show, with sales starting later that year. The W221 was slightly larger than its W220 predecessor, and featured three newly developed engines with up to 26% power increase. Originally supplied to the Japanese market and imported to the UK in December 2023, this example is understood to have been used in Japan for official duties having had a flag mount originally fixed to the front bumper which the vendor had professionally removed. Today, it shows only c.41,000km (c.25,000 miles) recorded on the odometer. Appearing in fine condition inside and out owing to the low mileage, friendly Japanese climate and stringent vehicle inspections which Japan is insistent on. Featuring upgraded Nappa leather over the standard ‘MBTex’, all four seats are heated and the front two are also ventilated. Equipped with front and rear parking sensors, adjustable ambient lighting, memory front seats and 6 CD changer, it comes with book pack, service history, export document and Swansea V5C.

Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK (X150) was styled by Ian Callum and deliberately evoked the legendary E-Type through its oval grille, teardrop glasshouse and muscular haunches. The XK combined genuine sporting ability with everyday usability, while its six-speed automatic transmission offered steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifts. Manufactured in 2005, this 4.2-litre X150 XK was first registered through the Browns Lane Jaguar Cars factory on the 11th of November that year. This example was actually issued as a press example, where it was reviewed by Quentin Wilson for a Newspaper article in the Mirror published on May 7th 2006. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Ebony Black paintwork with complementing Ivory leather interior upholstery, Black leather dashboard, and Black carpeting, and has features including electric memory seats, heated seats, climate control, voice control, and very rare adaptive cruise control. Accompanied to sale by the original book pack in the Jaguar wallet, including the original owner’s handbook, service book, quick start guides, navigation system booklet, warranty booklet, audio connectivity booklet, and the V5C document. Further offered with the space saver spare wheel and a jack, the Jaguar is ULEZ compliant and therefore exempt from all clean air zone charges.

Chassis No: TA2574

TA2574 is offered as part of a deceased estate and has been in the current ownership since the early 1960s. It was found by the late owner as a project in Buxton, which he rebuilt before using it as a daily driver and family car, attending various rallies and hill climbs over a number of years until the car was taken off the road again in the late 1970s. After taking early retirement, he resumed the restoration in 1998. A record in the 2024 TA Tickford Register indicates that components previously acquired from another TA Tickford were used in the restoration. We are told that a new hood was fitted a few years ago by a specialist in Hull, and this appears to remain in good condition. At the time of consignment, the engine turned over on the button but did not start. We do, however, have a video dated July 2026 showing the engine running. TA2574 should be viewed as an ongoing project, and prospective buyers should expect to carry out a programme of recommissioning before the car can be returned to the road. It is supplied with a comprehensive history file that includes an original owner’s manual, club correspondence, old buff and green logbooks, and a current V5C.

Unveiled in late 1996, the Porsche Boxster combined styling developed under Harm Lagaay with a mid-mounted, water-cooled flat-six engine. Its name joined ‘boxer’ and ‘roadster’, neatly describing the newcomer’s mechanical layout and open-top configuration. Initially offered with a 2.5-litre engine, the Boxster shared its M96 engine family and several front-end components with the contemporary 996-generation 911. Independent suspension, ventilated disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering complemented its balanced chassis. Finished in distinctive Pastel Yellow, this 1997 example displays approximately 80,000 miles and features the desirable five-speed manual gearbox. Described by the vendor as highly specified, it is equipped with a removable hardtop and ‘Twist’ alloy wheels, the former providing additional versatility for year-round use. The vendor reports that numerous new parts have been fitted, with the extent of this work to be established from the accompanying documentation. Prospective purchasers should note that the car is recorded as having a historical Category D insurance write-off classification. Combining an appealing colour, manual transmission, removable hardtop and reported replacement parts, this early Boxster offers an opportunity to enjoy Porsche’s distinctive flat-six character and engaging mid-engined roadster formula. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I Two owners and just 13,000 miles from new!

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000* Reg No: EU-Registered

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SRH25165

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 6230cc 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 made peers. With their purer, chrome bumpered aesthetic and superior roadholding (courtesy of radial tyres and recalibrated suspension), many people consider the late Series One cars – such as chassis SRH25165 - to represent the Silver Shadow at its zenith. Initially ordered for stock by marque concessionaire Heron Rossleigh of Edinburgh, the luxury saloon was finished in the timelessly elegant combination of Caribbean Blue Metallic with Blue leather upholstery, Dark Blue carpets and a Grey headliner. Twin Gold coachlines accentuated the exterior, while trimming the console and knee roll in the same hide as the seats and specifying Sundym glass all round ensured that the cosseting interior was suitably understated. Ordered on March 9th 1976 but not invoiced until the end of May, the Rolls-Royce cost £16,210.48 (the equivalent of circa £114,000 today).

Granted the Edinburgh number plate ‘SFS 837R’ on August 1st 1976, the Silver Shadow was supplied new to local businessman, Ernie Page Esq. The proprietor of a thriving motorcycle dealership, Mr Page was also a very accomplished rider having won the 1967 Scottish Scrambles Championship and numerous International Six Days Trial (ISDT) medals. Interestingly, a letter on file sent to him by the Auto-Cycle Union just weeks after he took delivery of the luxury saloon includes a rejoinder to ensure that his tetanus vaccination was up to date before competing in yet another ISDT! Although, Mr Page seemed happy enough to risk his own life and limb on two wheels, he ensured that his Rolls-Royce was very much pampered.

tag, key envelope, EMI ‘Quadraphonic Sound’ Sampler Tape and the cardboard HVAC instructions. Becoming only the Silver Shadow’s second custodian in 2020, the vendor has increased its odometer reading from 10,300 to c.12,600 miles. Still wearing its original tyres when exported to Germany, the luxury saloon has since been treated to some €7,500 worth of servicing and recommissioning which encompassed the fitting of four new boots, the original tyres even accompany the car to sale. Variously rated by the seller as being in ‘Condition 1’ (bodywork, engine, automatic gearbox, interior trim) or ‘Condition 2’ (paintwork, electrical equipment), he further deems the Rolls-Royce to be ‘a time capsule’ of a car.

Thus, as well as its original tool kit, warranty card and book pack, chassis SRH25165 pleasingly retains various factory items, which are almost always lost, including a ‘FINISHED’ label (dated June 30th 1976), under bonnet coolant concentration

Presently German registered, chassis SRH25165 will need to be NOVA declared and have VAT paid at the reduced rate of 5% if it is repatriated. A highly desirable, low owner, low mileage Series One Silver Shadow with an interesting history.

1959 Bentley S1 Saloon

No Reserve* Reg No: 27 DXW

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

Chassis No: B553FD

The Bentley S1 was unveiled in April 1955. A very different car from its predecessors, it was longer and wider and based on a much stiffer chassis. Though the traditional body-on-chassis construction facilitated the manufacture of special-bodied versions, most were delivered with the standard offering produced by Pressed Steel Ltd, featuring alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid. Powered by the final iteration of the company’s venerable 4.9-litre straight six engine featuring revised cylinderhead porting, power was quoted at 178bhp. As standard, the unit drove through a four-speed automatic gearbox with steering column control. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs and employed a leaf-spring mounted live axle at the rear. A total of 3,107 examples were produced between 1955 and 1959. Finished in Tudor Grey over Shell and trimmed in Blue/Grey leather ‘27 DXW’ is understood to be fitted with a Harvey Bailey Handling Kit and Power Steering. Believed to have been maintained by the likes of P & A Wood and Roman’s Garage group the Bentely was reported to be exceptional condition in every aspect plus with superb mechanical condition in 2016 when it was last listed for sale for £37,995.

Since its introduction in 1970, the Range Rover has combined accomplished off-road ability with increasingly sophisticated luxury. The third-generation L322 further developed this distinctive formula, bringing imposing styling, a spacious cabin and refined road manners. Finished in Tonga Green, this example displays approximately 154,000 miles and has a vendor-reported comprehensive service history. An interior conversion pairs Tobacco Tan leather with gloss Aged Oak wood trim, while clear Pilkington original-equipment glazing complements the colour scheme. The climate seats feature upgraded Peltier cells, and installed Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide connectivity. Refurbished 20-inch alloy wheels wear nearly new tyres. The vendor reports servicing of the automatic gearbox, differentials and transfer case, plus a replacement rear differential. Commissioned in 2024 for a customer’s collection, the Range Rover is reportedly unused since completion and offered to free space. The leather interior is described as remaining in as-new condition, with the vendor considering the vehicle in magnificent order throughout. This Vogue SE combines distinctive presentation with modern upgrades and reported drivetrain maintenance.

Successor to the race proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and disc brakes. Immediately recognisable by its distinctive ‘shark nose’ frontal styling and thin-pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW’s mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. The 628 model’s 2788cc unit developed some 184bhp and 177lbft of torque (outputs sufficient to propel it from 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds and on to 127mph).

Introduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s much-loved, forward-control Type 2, which has proven versatile enough to serve as a panel van, minibus, camper van and even fire engine, was immediately recognisable due to its adoption of a large single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier.

This increasingly rare factory 5 speed manual boasts an impressive recent history with many thousands spent to keep it in fine fettle. One recent bill alone totals over £6,000. Benefiting from an engine overhaul in 2025, clutch, many new suspension and brake components, it has completed minimal mileage since. Finished in classic Henna Red, this 628 comes from a small private collector of BMWs and Alpinas. Such is his confidence in the car that a new MOT has been obtained.

MOT: October 2027

Chassis No: SCA2D68078UH07017

“There’s just one word that best describes the Drophead and that word is rarefied. It takes 350 hours to build the Phantom and you’ll need £260,000 to have one sitting on your gravel driveway . . . Few cars are more expensive, and fewer still come close to the kind of automotive statement this Rolls-Royce makes . . . I know of few finer ways to travel” (Georg Karcher, CAR Magazine, 2007). Unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show to celebrate Rolls-Royce’s centenary, the 100EX Concept Car was a magnificently over the top cabriolet powered by a 9-litre V16 engine. Styled by Marek Djordevic, it was a statement piece that few imagined would ever reach production. However, just under three years later, the makers of ‘The Best Car in the World’ took the wraps off the Phantom Drophead Coupe at the 2007 North American International Auto Show which bore more than a passing resemblance to 100EX. The newcomer’s lines had been revised by Ian Cameron but it still made for a singularly imposing motorcar with a fabulously long bonnet and wooden rear decking that had seemingly been borrowed from a Riva speedboat. Underpinned by the same aluminium spaceframe technology as its Phantom VII saloon sibling, the soft-top was notably rigid.

Powered by the marque’s ‘whisper quiet’ 6.75-litre V12 engine allied to six-speed automatic transmission, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and 149mph (limited). Albeit such performance was not the four-seater’s metier. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its ride and handling, the Drophead Coupe did its best to turn every journey into an occasion. Necessarily exclusive, a choice of 43,000 exterior colours, nine interior palettes and six shades of leathers and roofs meant that the chances of two identical cars encountering each other were slim indeed! Subject to a waiting list in every market, the very first North American specification Phantom Drophead Coupe went under the hammer at the Naples, Florida Winter Wine Festival where it made $2,000,000. The vast majority of the circa 1,500 Series One Drophead Coupes made were left-hand drive.

spokes to its steering wheel, wooden rear decking, logoed headrests and the aforementioned Stainless Steel pack, the Phantom Drophead Coupe would have cost approximately £500,000 in today’s money. Maintained by main dealers and specialists over the course of its c.78,500 recorded miles, the four-seater was entrusted to Rolls-Royce Manchester for a service and health check in 2024 at 70,418 miles followed by some £10,200 worth of brake and suspension work. The same concessionaire carried out a service the following year at 74,997 miles not to mention fitting a new battery, DSC pump and pressure relay all of which cost £7,300.

Its monocoque construction, 1,798cc B-Series engine, four-speed manual gearbox, rack-and-pinion steering and front disc brakes helped establish it as one of Britain’s most successful and enduring sports cars. Early chrome-bumper Roadsters remain especially admired for the purity of their design. Finished in maroon with a contrasting black interior, this attractive 1967 MGB Roadster features chrome bumpers, bright body-side trim, painted wire wheels and a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel.

Beginning life as a Trafford Park-built Tourer in 1924, ‘RT 2175’ had been dismantled when discovered on the late George Milligan’s Norfolk farm eighty years later. Offered by Bonhams alongside cars from the renowned Milligan Collection, the Ford was acquired in 2004 by Model T specialist Neil Tuckett. The lot included two engines, with the later 2.9-litre four-cylinder unit, number 14992682, selected for overhaul by Tuckett Bros. Subsequently acquired as a running and driving rolling chassis by a Model T enthusiast in North Wales, it was transformed into the striking Brass Era-style Speedster seen today. Its period appearance is enhanced by a brass radiator, fuel tank and lamps, specially fabricated wings and an attractive wooden rear deck, with further components sourced from the USA. Sensible upgrades include 12-volt electrics, an alternator, water pump and starter motor. Certified copies of two 1920s tax discs helped reunite the Ford with its original ‘RT 2175’ registration number, while accompanying documentation includes a 1920-issue Manchester Garages handbook. Previously sold by H&H at Buxton in July 2022, this characterful and beautifully detailed Speedster has remained in the same ownership since. Having seen little use during that time, some recommissioning should be anticipated before returning it to regular use.

MOT: March 2027

Chassis No: SCAZS00A6LCH33242

Introduced for the 1990 model year, the Spirit II shared the same, imposing Fritz Feller styling and 6.75-litre V8 engine as its predecessor but benefited from improved performance, fuel economy, handling and interior appointments. Riding on alloy wheels with stainless steel embellishers, the newcomer featured a self-releasing parking brake (once a gear had been selected), revised fascia, additional ‘bull’s eye’ air vents, more adjustable front seats, active ride and Bosch K Motronic fuel injection management. Taking more than 800 hours to build, a mere 1,152 were made up until 1993 with only 735 being to right-hand drive specification. Purchased by the vendor, a Rolls-Royce enthusiast, this charming Spirit ll is finished in the classic colour combination of Light Oyster with Parchment Hide. Accompanied by a good history file, it is believed to have been previously owned by a Jack Barclay employee. Offered with Swansea V5C and a current MOT valid until in March 2027, this graceful car would make a great addition to any collection. Please note the cherished registration ‘TUI 920’ is not included in the sale.

1917 Allen Tourer

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* Reg No: BF 9823

MOT: Exempt

No Reserve* Chassis No: 00012773

The Allen Motor Company was established in Fostoria, Ohio, in 1913 by brothers E. W. and W. O. Allen, who had previously been involved in carriage manufacture. Engines and transmissions for its early cars were produced by L. A. Sommers, whose interests subsequently became part of the business. Allen offered roadster and touring models before production moved to Columbus, continuing until 1921. Today, its surviving cars offer an uncommon glimpse of the smaller American manufacturers of the Edwardian era. This left-hand drive 1917 Tourer is believed to be one of only two Allens in the UK; the vendor also believes fewer than 15 survive worldwide, although neither figure has been independently verified. Imported in 2022, it is UK registered and accompanied by a current V5C. The car presents in notably original condition, with paintwork the vendor believes may also be original. It has a 3,600cc Sommers four-cylinder petrol engine and conventional three-speed gearbox, offering a more familiar gear-changing arrangement than a Ford Model T. According to the vendor, it starts, runs, drives and stops, while a recently fitted new cone clutch operates as it should. An unusual brassera tourer with potential for historic motoring events, subject to club eligibility.

1960 Ford Consul Lowline Deluxe

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Reg No: NSL 232

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 204E-249440

Launched at the 1950 Motor Show, Ford’s Consul and Zephyr Six broke new ground for the Dagenham firm. Together with the range-topping Zodiac, the Consul and Zephyr were totally redesigned for 1956, emerging in Series II guise larger than before and benefiting from engines of increased displacement, the Consul’s four-cylinder unit to 1.7-litre. Needless to say, these new engines were more powerful, enabling gearing to be raised for more relaxed cruising, while the brakes were up-rated. The key-operated combined ignition/starter switch was a ‘first’ for a British car. Introduced in February 1959, a major facelift saw the MkII range emerge in ‘Lowline’ form, with a roof 1½” lower. Numerous detail styling changes both inside and out prompted Ford’s publicity department to declare ‘Everything’s New!’. The Deluxe model topped the range and included leather interior, upgraded horn ring, cigarette lighter and optional two-tone paint. An intriguing driving project, this Consul benefits from recent works and parts including cylinder head skimming (£540), new valves, new valve seats and unleaded conversion (£500), new radiator core (£340), refurbished water pump (£140), new brake cylinders & shoes all round, new clutch master cylinder, new ignition switch and 4 new tyres. Offered without reserve.

1991 Jaguar XJ-S V12 ‘Le Mans’ Limited Edition

No. 161 of 280 and just 41,600 miles Chassis No: 2172057412

In 1974, on a trip to South Africa, Wilhelm Karmann Jr. noticed a Jurgens motorhome, a design launched in 1973, built on a Volkswagen Type 2 chassis. He was so taken by it that he requested licensed production. The first motorhome produced by Karmann was also based on the Volkswagen Type 2 chassis and launched in 1974. The bodies of these early Karmann’s were of a sandwich structure with kitchen, shower, two beds, grey water tank, secondary battery, toilet, hot water heater and gas heating. An optional luggage rack could be sited over the cab. Far ahead of rivals in terms of build quality, the coachbuilt Karmanns gained a devout following. This Volkswagen is described as a fabulous example that has been subject to a previous full professional respray. Benefiting from a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated Subaru engine, it is therefore reliable and highly usable. The interior is equally impressive with tartan contrasting beige upholstery throughout. There is a spacious toilet and shower, and a rear lounge that makes into a bed. Two skylights and large windows bring in natural light. With so few of these models in existence, it represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-built and very rare classic motorhome. It is noted the vendor has misplaced the V5c and a V62 application will need to be carried out.

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000* Reg No: H914 RTX MOT: September 2027 Chassis No: HSAJJNJEW3BR177922 Announced at that year’s British Motor Show, the XJ-S ‘Le Mans’ Limited Edition was only in production from September – December 1990. Conceived to celebrate Jaguar winning the world’s greatest endurance motor race for the seventh (and thus far last) time, the model featured special badging (a Gold ‘growler’ up front and special ‘Le Mans V12’ plaque on the boot), twin Gold coachlines, lattice alloy wheels and uprated ‘SportsPack’ suspension not to mention a more luxuriously trimmed interior (piped Autolux leather, Wilton carpets, higher grade wood veneers) and numbered kickplates. Restricted to 280 units, it was sold in left- and right-hand drive configurations. Finished in Brooklands Green with Cream upholstery, Number 161 was supplied new via Jaguar Cars Japan. Serviced at 1,845km, 23,397km and 60,318km, the Jaguar had covered a mere 66,538km (c.41,500 miles) when it passed a UK MOT test for the first time on June 26th 2019. Benefiting from Japan’s famously salt-free roads for most of its life, the ‘Le Mans’ remains remarkably well preserved. Starting readily upon inspection and running well during our recent photography session, this decidedly rare XJ-S is offered for sale with V5C, service history, owner’s manual, Heritage Certificate and ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until September 2027. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

1961 Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite

100

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000* Reg No: 164 WPD

MOT: Exempt

101

No Reserve* Chassis No: AN68880

Thanks to its bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’. The one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, twin carburettor, 43bhp 948cc BMC `A’ series engine with suspension by coil springs and wishbones up front, rear quarter elliptic springs and lever arm dampers all round. Today, the Sprite is considered one of the best-handling sports cars of its time with many still finding use in competition events internationally. In single family ownership from 1984-2017 and owned by the vendor since 2017, 164 WPD has been a successful entrant in numerous events including a 2nd in class finish in the 1985 Coronation Rally, finishes on the Lands End, Exeter and Edinburgh Trials, and the 2014 HRCR 30 Historic Rally. We are advised it has never failed to finish an event during current ownership. Powered by a 1275cc engine with Cooper S cylinder head, lightened rockers, Cooper S distributor and electronic ignition driving through a Mk 3 Sprite close ratio gearbox, the car features a fibreglass bonnet and rear end, roll bar, later diff, stronger halfshafts and uprated springs and shock absorbers. Riding on wire wheels with braking by front discs and rear drums it displays some 53,000 miles and comes with a tonneau cover.

2000 Land Rover Freelander XI S-Wagon

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Reg No: X628 EAJ

MOT: None

Chassis No: SALLNABA7YA551881

Although it’s an off-roader, and therefore entitled to a few battle scars, this Freelander is surprisingly clean appearing. This, of course, comes down to its having spent almost its whole life with the proverbial “one careful lady owner,” who has only driven it 56,250 miles, hence it has led an easier life than most. Always resident in the Middlesbrough area, it was supplied by the Dutton-Forshaw Land Rover Centre of Stockton-on-Tees on September 1st, 2000, and was in regular use and maintained until 2015, when it passed its last MOT (with no advisories). In that time, it had fourteen services, the most recent at 55,046 miles – not including a more major overhaul in 2014 at 55,918 miles, with the head skimmed, the timing belt serviced and the starting equipment changed. It is impressively preserved with its original dealer plates, stickers and spare wheel cover. Although in need of recommissioning having been in storage since 2015, it starts and drives and is supplied with the original book pack including service book, the V5C showing no former keepers, and a large collection of MOTs and invoices.

No Reserve* Chassis No: WDB1704442F302077

At the start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat grand-tourer, the R129 SL, the launch of the Mazda MX-5 encouraged Mercedes-Benz to create a new compact roadster, slotting below the SL. Massively successful at launch, worldwide sales hit 55,000 in its first year – over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs – and between 1996 and 2004 over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism that is locked securely when the roof is closed. Presented in Cubanite Silver with Anthracite leather this SLK 200 Kompressor was purchased by its only owner from Mercedes-Benz Chesterfield and registered in November 2003. Specified with the ever popular 5-Speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning, CD player and heated seats it was pressed in to service as a weekend car, hence the low mileage. This did not mean servicing was neglected, quite the oppposite in fact. A full folder showing bills from both Mercedes and specialist garages, it comes with invoices totalling around £6,500. Offered with original order form/invoice, book pack and Swansea V5C.

Reg No: Y865 NVW

Chassis No: JTEBZ99J100013270

First registered in the UK on the 12th April 2001, this seemingly indestructible off roader was supplied through Mark Kass Ltd of Chelmsford Essex and specified new in VX trim with a 3.0 Litre Diesel engine. Passing through the hands of four keepers prior to our vendor, he bought it for use on his country estate during January 2017. Our vendor has several onsite mechanics who maintain his vehicles, but the most recent stamped service record in the accompanying original book pack shows a service at 166,000 miles in 2024 by the Awsworth Motor Company Ltd. Now offered for sale as our vendor is due to emigrate to Australia, it is supplied with a suite of invoices documenting expenditure over the years, the aforementioned service book and other book pack items, plus a spare wheel that will need a replacement tyre.

1964 Ford Anglia

104

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000* Reg No: AKG 946B

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: H26D083996

Introduced in 1959, Ford’s Anglia 105E brought distinctive styling and mechanical advances to the small family saloon. Its reverse-rake rear window and prominent fins reflected American influences, while an overhead-valve engine and four-speed gearbox replaced the outgoing side-valve arrangement. Launched in 1962, the Super, designated 123E, featured the larger 1,198cc engine shared with the contemporary Cortina. Two-tone paintwork, additional chrome trim and an improved interior further distinguished this desirable variant. This 1964 Ford Anglia Super 1200 is finished in white and green, the latter described as a close approximation to Goodwood Green rather than an exact match. Reported to appear notably solid, it offers an appealing prospect for an enthusiast, although prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to its condition. The vendor advises that it was running before being taken off the road; recommissioning will now be required before returning to use. Accompanying documentation includes an old-style logbook, a Leisure Plan book, owner’s handbooks, a 1961 passenger car price list, a lubrication chart and workshop manuals. This collection provides useful reference material and additional period interest. Combining Super specification with an attractive colour scheme, this Anglia offers its next custodian the opportunity to return a recognisable classic Ford to the road.

Chassis No: WBSBL92080JR00102

Widely hailed as one of the best-looking, best-sounding, and best-handling BMW M3s yet made, the E46 generation débuted in March 2000 at the Geneva Salon, combining four-seater practicality with near supercar performance. This manual M3 Coupe, finished in Titanium Silver with a Black interior, is due to be supplied with an extensive paperwork file including over 50 receipts, 16 MOTs, a dyno chart, 3 keys and its original book pack, including a service book recording 15 previous jobs. Showing a credible 76,700 miles, supported by a good MOT trail, it has been fitted with a few subtle modifications including a later front spoiler, Pagid brakes, Nitron coil-overs, a later head unit, an Eventuri air filter and some carbon trims. The original parts, including the Cat exhaust, will be included in the sale. The comprehensive service history includes a recorded top end engine overhaul with a new Elring Klinger head gasket, bolts and a new water pump in 2022, with the MOT record suggesting it’s only done 2000 miles since. It recently passed an MOT on the 10th September and will be supplied with a current V5C bearing its fitting registration number ‘M3 MYP’.

We are very pleased to offer this exceptional Pilot, which is not only an extremely rare survivor but has been completed to a tailored specification and remains in uncommonly good condition. Specially finished by LDV’s Specialist Vehicle Operations division with very rare twin sliding doors and special-order rear windows, the LDV still displays its original delivery sticker and has had only two owners from new. The first owner kept it until 2010, when a minor bump saw it classified as a Category D write-off because it was deemed to be of low value, although it only required a new wing. The second owner, an LDV and DAF service agent, promptly repaired it, and has cared for it ever since (it was registered in the business name of A. Herring Ltd. until 2021 and has been privately registered since, hence it shows three registered keepers). It has covered only 9,000 miles from new and is especially well preserved. It has had six documented services, the last performed in 2024 at 8,870 miles. A charmingly nostalgic vehicle, it is supplied with the V5C, MOTs and assorted invoices, the current no-advisories MOT being valid until October, 2027.

Reg No: R395 KAX

Chassis No: SAJDKKNS3BP802980

The Majestic Centenary Edition is one of the rarest, most graceful and most luxurious machines to emerge from Jaguar-Daimler in the post-Lyons era. This car, one of the 50 V12 specimens and one of the very last V12 Daimlers, is especially interesting and well-provenanced, having been supplied new to the British Government for use at the British Embassy in Japan. With such a rich and sumptuous interior, there could be no car better suited to ambassadorial transport, and the beautiful colour scheme – Titanium Mica paint with a Nimbus Grey interior – seems particularly fitting for a Government dignitary. Having spent most of its life in Japan, the Daimler was imported and DVLA-registered in 2019, prior to being acquired by our vendor in 2021. Since then, it has only seen light use on local outings and Daimler club rallies, hence the odometer now shows just over 74,600km (approx. 46,360 miles). As such a well-preserved and historic example, it was the subject of a feature in a classic car magazine where it was compared against a Jaguar XJ40 and deemed the superior product. It will be driven to the sale from near York and is supplied with invoices, old MOTs and Japanese export documents.

2006 Land Rover Defender TD5 County Pick-Up

108

Estimate: £14,000 - £18,000* Reg No: YP06 OCX MOT: July 2027 Chassis No: SALLDHA575A697153 The Land Rover was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production of the traditional Defender only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. The biggest change to the Land Rover Series came in late 1990, when it became the Land Rover Defender. This was because in 1989 the company had introduced the Discovery model, requiring the original Land Rover to acquire a name. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel-drive 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 engines characterised things under the skin. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder in-line turbo/diesel engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The engine used electronic control systems and produced 122 hp. Here we are delighted to offer a restored example benefiting from enhancements that has been the beneficiary of over £27,000 worth of work. Finished as part of the restoration in Keswick Green with Charcoal Tweed heated seats, some £5,000 was spent on stripping and painting and a further £500 on the interior trim. Approximately £2,000 has been expended on the front suspension alone. In our opinion the result is a very nice example of the desirable ‘110’ Pick-up chassis with single cab that is equipped with the preferred TD5 power plant which also benefits from an engine tune. Offered with a large history file, sundry invoices, pictures of the restoration and a current Swansea V5C.

1931 Auburn 8-98 Sedan Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000* Reg No: WSU 313 Chassis No: 27013

109

MOT: Exempt

Few American manufacturers encapsulate the exuberance of the late 1920s and early 1930s quite like Auburn. Under E. L. Cord, the marque developed a reputation for combining dramatic styling, impressive performance and sophisticated engineering at prices considerably below many established luxury manufacturers. Introduced for 1931, the 8-98 took its designation from the 98hp produced by its 268.6cu in (approximately 4.4-litre) Lycoming straight-eight, allied to a three-speed transmission. Styling was overseen by Alan Leamy, whose distinctive treatment incorporated a long bonnet, imposing radiator and elegantly proportioned bodywork. Period engineering highlights included automatic chassis lubrication, hydraulic shock absorbers, roller-bearing steering and a rigid X-braced frame. Finished in black and red with a contrasting white roof and brown mohair interior, this imposing example is offered in wonderfully evocative ‘as discovered’ barn-find condition. Rather than having been freshly restored or extensively prepared, it has remained unused for a number of years and will require recommissioning before returning to the road. Adding to its appeal is previous long-term ownership, having reportedly remained with its former custodian for approximately 28 years. Auburn production ceased in 1936 and surviving examples remain an uncommon sight in Britain. With its imposing proportions, elegant Alan Leamy styling, Lycoming straight-eight and association with E. L. Cord’s remarkable automotive empire, this 8-98 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a charismatic pre-war American motor car. Once carefully recommissioned, it should provide its next custodian with the rewarding prospect of returning an impressive survivor to the road. The odometer displays 67,996 miles and the Auburn is accompanied by some MOTs and a current V5C. PLEASE NOTE: The engine number matches the V5C, however, not the chassis plate.

Just 37,000 miles from new! Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000* Reg No: G2 XJJ MOT: April 2027 Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB163953 We are always pleased to handle an XJ-S, but especially so when it’s as good as this one, an extremely well-documented and low-mileage example. Finished in the highly attractive colour combination of Signal Red with a Magnolia interior, it was originally sold through Stratstone Jaguar in Cardiff and was in a recent period of long-term ownership, from 1996 to 2015. This XJ-S entered its first private collection in 2017, and then was sold to our vendor, himself an enthusiastic Jaguar collector, in 2022. He saw it for sale with the well-known Jaguar specialist CMC in Bridgnorth and “fell in love” with the condition, and was very pleased to secure it for £32,000. He has since carried out his own slight alterations and improvements, which included fitting aftermarket wire wheels and tyres at a cost of £4,200, as well as new brake pads, discs and callipers. The service history is really outstanding, comprising 26 stamps and beginning at 1,464 miles in 1989. The first five services up to 1994 were completed by Mylechreests Jaguar and Mann Egerton Jaguar, and subsequent services up to the 21st in 2010 were performed across various garages. The 22nd service in 2016 was by the specialist Just XJ-S, and then three services between 2017 and 2022 were done by CMC. The most recent service, in 2024 at 36,897 miles, was performed by Allcarz in Oswestry. Now with a mileage of just under 38,000 and a no-advisories MOT valid until April, 2027, the Jaguar is sold a large history file including the V5C, a JDHT certificate, sales literature, old tax discs, MOTs dating back to the 1990s, ownership history and many invoices. Additional equipment includes the full book pack with two service books, plus the original steering wheel.

2017 Ford Focus RS Uprated with Mountune parts

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000* Reg No: JR16 OCK MOT: March 2027 Chassis No: WF05XXGCC5GS59770 “A hot hatch with the visual clout of a Lamborghini . . . there was little that could touch the RS’s pace along a challenging road. Driving it you had a sense of its barely contained energy, its urgency and explosive delivery”. (EVO magazine) On 17th December 2007, after winning the WRC’s Constructors’ Title for a second successive year, Ford confirmed that it would be building a ‘RS’ version of the Focus Mk2. Unveiled in ‘concept car’ guise at the following year’s British Motor Show but not entering production until January 2009, the resultant design was hailed by the Blue Oval thus: “It’s as close as you’ll come to driving a full-spec rally car”. The third generation Focus RS was the modern fast Ford that finally brought all-wheel drive back into the line-up. Ford previewed the third generation facelifted model at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The updated version featured a new front end design, incorporating Ford’s new family grille and slimline headlights. Fitted with the 2.3-litre turbocharged EcoBoost in-line 4 cylinder that was shared with the Mustang of the time, its clever four wheel drive system sent up to 70 per cent of torque rearward, with Dynamic Torque Vectoring and a genuine Drift mode. The result is incredible pace with a playful streak that placed it right in the mix with the Golf R, Audi RS3 and Mercedes-AMG A45 of the time. All this and it’s still a practical five-door hatch with good boot space and creature comforts, what’s not to love? This RS has been uprated with Mountune Performance parts and registers just c.38,000 miles on the odometer. Described as being in good overall condition and sounding well on consignment, it is offered with history file, current MOT to March 2027 and current Swansea V5C.

No Reserve* Chassis No: 24135472F

A sympathetic update of its much-loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. The Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox. Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel four-cylinder engines, the Land Rover could be had in 88-inch or 109-inch wheelbase guises (though, the SWB model made do with a petrol 2-litre unit until September 1958). Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system and the arrival of a 2.25-litre diesel engine. Export models had their headlamps repositioned in the front wings for 1968 with domestic Landies gaining the same revised visage the following year. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Series Land Rover ever made. This Series IIA comes from a 16 year ownership period where it was used by the family for everything that families do, including Highland fishing trips! Having been stored for a number of years it is ready for sympathetic restoration to bring it back to its former glory. Offered for sale with current V5C registration document.

Chassis No: SA9CXXG32DL036052

Launched in 1989, the Ginetta G32 represented a significant departure for the long-established British sports car manufacturer, combining the marque’s traditional emphasis on lightweight construction and engaging handling with the practicality of a mid-engined coupe. Developed around a steel monocoque chassis, the G32 employed Ford’s 1.9-litre CVH engine mounted behind the driver, endowing it with distinctive balance and entertaining road manners. Offered with a striking wedge-shaped body styled by IAD, the G32 was produced in comparatively small numbers, making surviving examples increasingly scarce. Today, it provides an intriguing blend of British craftsmanship, everyday usability and genuine sporting character. This particular example is one of that select production run, displaying a genuine c.74,500 miles from new. Finished in attractive Opalescent Blue over a Grey cloth interior, it retains the distinctive styling that makes the G32 such an unusual offering from the marque. Offered for sale without reserve, this rare mid-engined Ginetta is accompanied by a current Swansea V5C and presents an appealing opportunity to acquire one of the few remaining examples of this fascinating chapter in Ginetta’s history.

Born from a collaboration between Swatch and Mercedes-Benz, Smart introduced a distinctive approach to urban motoring. Launched in 1998 as the City-Coupé and renamed ForTwo in 2004, its compact two-seat design became instantly recognisable. The first-generation model remained in production until 2007. Showing approximately 50,000 miles, this 2006 example has been repainted by the vendor in Porsche PTS Jet Green Metallic, complemented by black leather upholstery. Rare BRABUS Monoblock V diamond-cut alloy wheels, freshly refurbished and fitted with new tyres, further distinguish its appearance. The specification includes a sliding glass roof, described by the vendor as an exceptionally rare factory option, together with heated leather seats, a leather steering wheel, air conditioning, front fog lights, power steering, factory Hi-Fi upgrade and side airbags. The vendor advises that a major service has just been completed, including engine oil and filter, all six spark plugs, air, fuel and cabin filters, and gearbox oil. Additional work includes new brakes all round, wheel alignment, replacement wipers and regreasing of the roof mechanism and runners. Extensive suspension refurbishment reportedly includes replacement ball joints, bushes, anti-roll bar bushes and suspension arms. With distinctive paintwork, desirable equipment and substantial recent maintenance, this ForTwo offers considerable individuality and appeal.

The BMC Riley Kestrel was a badge engineered version of the highly successful Morris 1100, which was launched in August 1962. The Kestrel joined the ranks along with the Wolseley 1100 in September 1965. The cost of the car was £781. The Kestrel based on the ADO16 design by Alec Issigonis, was now a larger and more sophisticated car than the previous Riley Mini version which incorporated more advanced features and innovations but still with the BMC A-Series engine, mounted transversely and driving the front wheels. The gearbox was located under the engine which also shared the oil supply with the engine. As well as disc brakes at the front an option for a four-speed automatic transmission was also available. Registered on the 1st February 1970 the vendor belives this Riley may have seen service as an under cover vehicle within the Police force. Ready for restoration ‘490 CKL’ sports an unusual commission plate under the bonnet as well as other items pointing to its former life such as a blue bulb foglight, mulitple horns and extra switches for radio and lights. Offered for sale with a current Swansea V5c.

1964 Cadillac De Ville Convertible

1979 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 710M

No Reserve* Chassis No: 64F134545

Reg No: HVN 372V

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 5758916

Relatively few American classics survive in entirely unrestored condition, and fewer still have traceable ownership history, but this 1964 Cadillac is an exception. It appears in unrestored condition, wearing what is believed to be its original factory paintwork. The canvas top and the carpets are said to be original too, the floor mats are period-correct, and the vendor praises the dash top as “uncracked and perfect.” It even retains its jack and spare wheel with the original crossply tyre.

An impressive vehicle visually and certainly as capable as it looks, this Pinzgauer is understood to have been in military use up until it was acquired by our vendor in 1999 from an auction and registered for the road in the UK. An adventurer at heart, our vendor intended to use it for long-range expeditions along with another, later Pinzgauer, but instead it found itself more at home on his country estate with the top-down on shoots.

The Cadillac owes its survival in such impressive condition to one careful owner, who kept it from new until 2004, when it was imported into Britain from Los Angeles, suggesting a lifetime in the kind climate of California. Since then, it has had just one British owner, who used the car until 2013 for summer outings only, before putting it into dry storage. The vendor notes, “In the time I used the car it was always 100 per cent. reliable. The only major work required was a new water pump in 2011 or ’12. The steering box requires seals and the seats would benefit from a limited number of small repairs.” Showing a believed-genuine 73,000 miles, this is a truly special survivor for recommissioning with preservation class potential.

Kept in running order by the vendor, its relatively gentle recent life has preserved it extremely well, and it still retains a large degree of originality including several original tools and spares that are stowed in its side-mounted toolbox and at the back of the cab. Now offered for sale as our vendor is due to emigrate to Australia, it would make an excellent candidate to use and improve – and could potentially be put to work almost immediately.

No Reserve* MOT: July 2027

Chassis No: ST2020027353

Although the Celica was sold in the British market, it seems supply never quite met demand, hence several enthusiasts started to import examples shortly after production ended, especially from Japan, where cars are right-hand drive. This desirable automatic example was imported in 2000, just one year after the end of production. Its first owner kept it for eight months, until March, 2001, and it then resided with its long-term second keeper until 2016. The third keeper cared for it until 2025, when it was acquired by our vendor. By 2006, this Celica had covered 70,000 miles, but its use over the last 20 years has been more sparing, hence the present mileage now stands at 98,000. It has evidently been maintained across its life, hence it has an MOT certificate with no advisories valid until July, 2027. Exhibiting a few light and reversible modifications reminiscent of 1990s tuning culture, this Celica should be as much fun now as it was when it was new, and would certainly be well received at RADwood and other events catering for “youngtimer” cars. For those who prefer their Celicas more standard, the original steering wheel is supplied.

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98ZWS606984

The Boxster was unveiled in late 1996 and was the first Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a Roadster. It was penned by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT. At launch it was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000. The M96 engine related to that in the 996, and the newcomer also shared that car’s bonnet, front wings and headlights. The suspension was independent all-round, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs and steering by rack and pinion. In long term family ownership since 1999 with only 3 keepers recorded, this example was optioned with matching hard top, manual gearbox and cruise control. Fitted with a replacement soft top in c.2015 it was parked up around 2022 when other priorities took over. Recently fired up again for our photography session it is said to run smoothly. Offered without reserve.

1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I

No Reserve* Reg No: WHJ 237M

121

No Reserve* MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: SRH17795

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). Performance from the smooth 6230cc 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. First registered in the Chelmsford, Essex area on January 22nd 1974 (or so its ‘WHJ 237M’ number plate would imply), this particular example reportedly underwent a colour change from Brown to Metallic Blue during 1989. Trimmed in Beige leather with Fawn carpets and contrasting Black hide to the dashtop and centre console, the Rolls-Royce displays a modest but unwarranted 38,394 miles to its odometer. Seemingly off the road for a few years prior to joining its previous keeper’s marque collection in 2021, the Silver Shadow is now in need of recommissioning / restoration. Offered for sale by a UK Police Force under the Proceeds of Crime Act, it comes with clear title, a current V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Reg No: G820 UEC

MOT: None

Chassis No: SCAZS00A9KCH27501

Unveiled at the 1980 British Motor Show, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit utilised a revamped version of its Shadow II predecessor’s platform. However, inhouse stylist Fritz Feller’s adoption of an airier glasshouse, lower / wider radiator grille and boxier proportions resulted in a far more ‘a la mode’ aesthetic. Powered by a higher output version of Crewe’s proven 6750cc OHV V8 engine allied to automatic transmission, the newcomer was hailed by the contemporary motoring press as a paragon of four-wheeled luxury and refinement. Initially priced at £49,629 (circa £220,000 in today’s money), the model proved necessarily exclusive. A notably late first series Silver Spirit – one of 366 right-hand drive examples made during the 1989 model year – chassis CH27501 has variously been road registered as ‘G440 ECX’, ‘OJA 174’ and ‘G820 UEC’. Retained by the last two of its four former keepers for 19 years 2 months and 15 years 10 months respectively, the Rolls-Royce has been off the road since 2022. Displaying a credible but unwarranted 41,500 miles to its odometer (with supporting MOT history back to 2005), the luxury saloon appears to be substantially complete. Offered for sale by a UK Police Force under the Proceeds of Crime Act, the Silver Spirit comes with clear title, a current V5C Registration Document and previous MOT paperwork only.

Announced in February 1977, the Silver Shadow II utilised the same four-door monocoque bodyshell, mellifluous 6750cc V8 engine and smooth-shifting GM400 series automatic gearbox as its predecessor but gained a prominent front air dam, larger one-piece bumpers, revised front suspension geometry and – most importantly of all – power-assisted rack and pinion steering. Undeniably better to drive, the Shadow II further benefited from the adoption of a more ergonomic fascia and split level air conditioning. Still trimmed with the finest quality leather hides, wood veneers, chrome fixtures and carpets available, it treated occupants to a uniquely cosseting experience. Finished in White with Navy Blue leather upholstery, chassis SRH0041209 dates from the final year of production. Understood to have been first registered as ‘MJC 56’, the Rolls-Royce has had four former keepers the last of whom took possession in 2021. Laid-up the following year, the Silver Shadow II is now in need of mechanical recommissioning / renovation. The bodywork and interior would benefit from attention too. Essentially complete, or so it appears, the luxury saloon displays a modest but unwarranted 30,712 miles to its odometer. Offered for sale by a UK Police Force under the Proceeds of Crime Act, ‘THE 335W’ comes with clear title, a current V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

Reg No: FRB 356L

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 3Y89A922063

Introduced in Autumn 1971, the Lincoln Continental Mark IV was a personal luxury coupe and Ford’s answer to the Cadillac Eldorado. Styled both inside and out by Wes Dahlberg, the newcomer was longer, lower and lighter than its predecessor. Still very much a neoclassical design, its vertical Rolls-Royce-esque radiator grille and faux spare wheel housing trunk lid were augmented by opera windows let into the C-pillars. According to its door jamb sticker, chassis 3Y89A922063 was originally specified with a 460ci (7.5 litre) V8 engine, C6 three-speed automatic transmission, Traction-Lok LSD and Silver Moondust Metallic paintwork. Supplied new in the Detroit, Michigan area, the Lincoln relocated to these shores during 2008. Passing to the last of its four former UK keepers in 2021, the Continental MKIV has not been on the road for some time. Running and driving during our recent photography session, the Coupe will nonetheless require a thorough check over / recommissioning prior to any sustained usage. Essentially complete, or so it appeared, ‘FRB 356L’ displays an unwarranted 33,454 miles to its odometer. A decidedly rare sight on UK roads, this imposing Lincoln is offered for sale by a UK Police Force under the Proceeds of Crime Act. It comes with clear title, a current V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork. *All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

Evans of Birmingham kick plate, the Rolls-Royce is understood to have been first road registered as ‘RTA 8’. Acquired by the last of its five former keepers in 2021, the Silver Shadow II was taken off the road the following year and is now in need of recommissioning / renovation. Essentially complete, or so it appears, the luxury saloon displays a modest but unwarranted 27,746 miles to its odometer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

*All hammer prices are subject to a Buyer’s Premium from 12.5% (+ VAT)

101

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) 102

(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.

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

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER

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.

12.1 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

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.

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;

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.

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.

13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to cooperate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.

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

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

(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

103

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.

18.9 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.

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.

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.

18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions. 18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed. 18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller. 18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot. 18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due. 18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose.

104

19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot. GENERAL CONDITIONS 20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party. 21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable. 22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers. 23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot. 24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions
