Welcome to our summer sale at the beautiful Pavilion Gardens, Buxton. With 2025 shaping up to be the hottest year on record more than a few of us are drawn to the idea of owning a classic convertible. Thankfully, there is no shortage of choice in this July 30th auction with everything from a diminutive 1935 Austin Seven Hamblin Cadet Special through to a 2000 Rolls-Royce Corniche V Convertible (1 of only 38 RHD examples made) via a 1950 Healey Silverstone, 1965 Bentley S3 Four-Door Convertible (previously featured on the big and small silver screens), 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Convertible (one owner, 21,000 miles), fully restored 1959 MG A 1600 Roadster and fabulous 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable Hard Top (which is even more imposing than its moniker).
No fewer than nineteen Jaguars will be going ‘under the hammer’ including a magnificent 1960 XK150 3.8 S Fixed Head Coupe that was treated to a c.£185,000 restoration, a 1966 MKII 3.4 which has been a multiple Jaguar Drivers’ Club Champion of Champions entrant and a former concours d’elegance winning 1973 E-Type V12 Roadster. Rarities abound too such as a 1965 Renault 8 Gordini R1134, 2021 Pembleton T24, 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R, 1935 MG NB Magnette Faux Cabriolet, 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Electric (EV Conversion) and 1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe that has covered just 650 miles from new!
The thirty-one ‘No Reserve’ lots encompass everything from a 1939 Standard Flying 8 Saloon to a 2003 Vauxhall Omega Elite ‘Irmscher’ Estate via a 1954 Citroen Light 15 Traction Avant, 1977 Lancia Beta Montecarlo Coupe and 1981 Leyland Mini Moke Californian. A special mention also goes to the 1917 Woods Dual Power Type 44 Roadster which is being sold to benefit the excellent StarterMotor charity that is making such efforts to get young people involved with old cars.
As ever if you have any questions about the lots please do not hesitate to ask. We hope you can join us at The Pavilion Gardens on July 30th but if not, we look forward to welcoming you at one of our other venues.
Kind regards, Colette McKay

H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore, we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description. This is the reason for our very specific terms as to roadworthiness (Condition 19.1) and absence of warranties (Condition 12.1), which intending purchasers should read carefully.
Commission / Telephone Bids
We will make reasonable efforts to execute commission and telephone bids when instructed provided they are received by 5pm the day before the Sale. Lot(s) will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Where more than one commission bid is submitted at the same winning amount, the commission bid submitted to the Auctioneer first will be the winning bid. We reserve the right to request a refundable deposit of approximately 10% of the intended bid amount.

Buyers are reminded that the presence of an old HVIF (FIA papers) or other documentation does not constitute a ‘promise’ on behalf of the MSA or other issuing authority that they will be re-issued on demand.

The Issuing Authority can refuse to issue new papers. Any prospective purchaser should check the position of the Lot prior to bidding.
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.

Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specically 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 difcult 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 ‘exworks’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were tted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

Reg No: DAB 805
MOT: Exempt Chassis No: N20130DL
Introduced during late 1938, the Standard Flying Eight featured a number of à la mode styling cues such as a waterfall grille, arched roofline, beetle back and bulbous wings. Notable as the first 8hp model on the British market to utilise independent front suspension, the newcomer was underpinned by a brand-new, box-section ladder frame chassis. Equipped with a counterbalanced crankshaft and aluminium cylinder head, its 1021cc four-cylinder engine was allied to three-speed manual transmission.
A delightful example of the breed, this Flying Eight is understood to have been restored in the 1980s, apparently with a colour change from grey to black in 1989. It has mellowed since then but still presents attractively. Pleasingly, the upholstery of the rear seat appears to be the original. Sadly, nothing is known of its history, though the ‘AB’ registration suggests it may have spent its early life in Worcestershire. In more recent years, the Eight has belonged to just two families between 2013 and the present, and it is now being sold from the estate of the late former owner, a Standard Motor Club member. Appearing as it does, it represents a generally sound survivor from a more gentle era of motoring, and it is ideal for everything from car shows to 1940s weekends, or even just for local errands. It is sold with the current V5C.
Estimate: £7,000 - £9,000*
Reg No: FJL 483E MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GA53113535
In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the brand new MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, ADO16 was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas, Austin, and MG the AD016 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC’s policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. The original MkI models were distinctive for their use of a Hydrolastic suspension. Unlike almost all of its competitors, the AD016 featured front-wheel drive instead of the rear-wheel drive. The MkI Austin/Morris 1100 was available, initially, only as a four-door saloon.
In current ownership since 2022, this smart looking MG 1100 displays a documented 47,685 miles on its odometer at the time of cataloguing and has been a previous concours winner at a car show in 2019. Finished in red with black interior with white piping and tan carpets it is offered with a large history file which includes a collection of assorted invoices, old MoT certificates and a current Swansea V5c.
No Reserve*
Reg No: SRC 480 MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: AN5/30885
Appearing in very enchanting project condition, ‘SRC 480’ comes with historic records dating to 1963. It was bought new from Ray Gibbon Cars of Birmingham as a standard Frogeye by Mr. Brian Harper, who despatched it to London for a Sebring conversion by John Sprinzel. The car was sprayed in Rootes Pippin Red and converted to wire wheels, with Mintex M20 brake pads and Nash Metropolitan half-shafts. The 948cc engine was rebored to 997cc, with lightweight racing pistons, twin 1½in SUs and a “wild cam,” so that it could reputedly rev to 6000rpm. As a “road class” car, it did not use alloy panels. Photographic evidence confirms it was rallied in period.
In 1963, the Sprite was sold by Ashfield Motors Ltd. of Moseley, Birmingham, to Mr. Michael Wood of Solihull. He sold it to Mr. Robin Bramley in 1969, and the vendor bought it from him in 1983. Unused since 1978 and now in need of full restoration, this wonderfully historic car is sold with the current V5C, a green logbook from 1968, past sales invoices, copies of the rally photograph and notes on its early history, plus many spares including two engines. Understood to be eligible for many prestigious events including the Goodwood Members’ Meeting’s Weslake Cup, it is undoubtedly a worthwhile undertaking.
Just 1 former keeper
Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*
Reg No: KY53 BFO MOT: March 2026 Chassis No: SAJAC42P242A37773
In the vendor’s possession since purchase from the original lady owner in 2015, this 4.2 V8 engined example currently displays some 125,077 miles although it will be driven from Milton Keynes to the sale venue in Buxton. It appears to be a very well looked after example being regularly used, and has a good service history with a new roof being fitted during the current owner’s time with the car. Upon inspection it is said to present very well on the outside with minimal visible wear though there is some almost imperceptible surface rust in the wheel arches. The black leather interior is extremely clean and well cared for. The walnut dashboard looks well preserved and we noted no tears or rips in the seats, although there is some slight discolouring visible on the drivers seat. Accompanied by a good history file with receipts and previous MOT certificates, original owner’s book pack and current V5C.
Introduced in 1996, the XK8 had the distinction of being the first Jaguar powered by an eight-cylinder engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed allied to either a five or six-speed (from 1997 onwards) automatic transmission.
Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*
Reg No: UMG 323 MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: Y6527
Supplied new by renowned London and Home Counties MG dealers University Motors and still retaining its original UMG registration number and University Motors plaque, this late production YA Saloon was subject to an extensive and detailed restoration carried out between 2012 and 2015. A photographic record of this accompanies the car. Previously it had been in long term storage (approximately 30 to 40 years) and taking this into consideration it now displays a credible 19,941 miles on the odometer. Finished in green over cream with green interior piped white complemented by smart veneers, UMG 323 is offered with a large history file which includes the restoration photographs, an old brown logbook, Swansea V5c, wiring diagram, workshop manual, original owner’s handbook, a large collection of invoices and correspondence dating back to the 1950s. A past trophy winner, it also features a working blind and semaphores and is still fitted with the original jacking system.
Introduced in 1947, the Y-Type saloon was an important car for MG. Boasting an all-new welded box-section chassis (later adapted for use on the marque’s TD / TF sportscars) its sophisticated coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension was the work of Sir Alec Issigonis and MG draughtsman Jack Daniels. Equipped with rack and pinion steering, a four-speed manual gearbox, and hydraulic drum brakes as standard, it was powered by the same 1250cc XPAG four-cylinder engine as the TC Midget sports car. Said to develop some 46bhp and 58.5lbft of torque, the single SU carburettor fed unit reputedly endowed the model with a 71mph top speed. Elegantly understated, the four-door saloon’s handsome lines were the work of Gerald Palmer. Benefiting from a wellappointed cabin, the YA remained in production until 1951 (by which time some 6,158 are thought to have been sold).

Reg No: EFG 138C MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: 1134-0500846
Introduced in 1964, the Renault 8 Gordini 1100 (R1134) proved a formidable competition car taking first, third, fourth and fifth places on that year’s Tour de Corse. With some 95bhp/72lbft on tap courtesy of its 1104cc OHV four-cylinder engine, the rear-wheel drive sports saloon boasted a four-speed close-ratio gearbox and four-wheel disc brakes. Closer in performance to a Lotus Cortina MK1 than a Mini Cooper S, just 2,626 Renault 8 Gordini 1100s were made before it was succeeded by the larger-engined (1300cc) R1135 in 1966.
Supplied new to France where it bore the number plate ‘2747 PH 69’, chassis 1134-0500846 was uprated to FIA Appendix K specification for competition usage circa 1990 (including the adoption of a R1135-style four lamp visage). Purchased by Monza-based Renault dealer Marco Messa the following year, he campaigned the Gordini on numerous events in the late 1990s and 2000s including the San Remo Rally Storico, Rally Alpi Orientali and Rallt Citti di Modena (with Roberto Chiossi also sharing the driving duties). Migrating to Austria during the 2010s, the sports saloon was further upgraded there before entering the current ownership in 2016. A Californian resident, the vendor has had Omicron Engineering Ltd of Mulbarton maintain and store the Renault on his behalf. Performing well on the Ennstal Classic (2017, 2018) and Tour Auto (2018, 2019), the Gordini started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Pleasingly understood to retain its original powerplant (number 804-1461), the Gordini is variously described by the vendor as being in ‘good’ (stripped out interior), ‘very good’ (bodywork, paintwork, fourspeed manual gearbox) or ‘excellent’ (engine, electrical equipment) condition. Potentially eligible for a host of prestigious meetings such as the Goodwood Revival, Spa Six Hours and Historic Monte Carlo Rally, ‘EFG 138C’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, old FIA papers (Fiche d’Idenite 0737), Automotoclub Storico Italiano (ASI) Certificate of Homologation, Automobile Club d’Italia CSAI Passporto Tecnico, FIVA card and paperwork file.
Reg No: ARX 192B MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B1344115HU0
It is understood that the Super Minx launched in 1961 was initially intended to replace the Series III versions of the standard Minx, but was ultimately sold as a more up-market model alongside the so-called Audax cars. The Saloon variant reigned for seven years and through four different marks, the first three of which were powered by a 1592cc engine and the last by a 1725cc unit. Aimed at the top end of the family car market, the Super Minx was more spacious than the ordinary Minx and featured somewhat more elaborate trim. A 1962 example tested by Motor returned a top speed of 80mph and a 0-60mph time of 21.6 seconds.
This rare surviving example of a Super Minx Estate has been in the current family ownership since 2010. Fitted with a reconditioned engine, 5.5J steel wheels (originals included), tow bar and period looking roof mounted luggage rack, it is finished in blue with blue seats and retains a Reading Garage Co Ltd (Rootes main dealer) plaque. With c.64,900 credible miles recorded it is accompanied by a Swansea V5c, collection of old MoT’s plus Tax discs and we understand a spare engine may be available by separate negotiation with the vendor.
Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*
Reg No: WUJ 67K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: XA2S1495651
First registered on 4th November 1971, this Austin Mini has been in current family ownership since 1991 with just 2 former keepers recorded on the V5C. Acquired by the vendor after a family member passed away whilst in the process of restoring the car in 1998, this 850 iteration has been restored and de-seamed by the vendor’s classic car restoration business. Popular as a ‘custom’ style for the Mini, the de-seaming process leaves the rain gutters alone, but blends the front and rear panels into the side quarter panels. Another upgrade has been the addition of widened sills and arches whilst being restored. Wearing Revolution alloy wheels within the widened wheel arches, it’s sure to stand out at any gathering as something a bit different from the Mini world. It’s offered with a history file and the current V5C Registration Document.
Reg No: C42 PVO MOT: July 2026
Chassis No: WDB1070462A046021
In the current ownership since 1990, this 500 SL has covered just 77,000 miles from new. Acquired by the vendor as the second owner but registered through his businesses hence showing four owners from new on the V5 document. During this time the car has always resided in the Stockport area. Finished in the classic 80s colour combination of Smoke Silver with brown leather to the interior, the car appears in very solid condition overall and, while cherished, has been used as a daily driver for several years and comes with current MoT to July 2026.
Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by no less than eight different engines with over 237,000 examples being built - the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz aside from the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-design was bigger, heavier and softer-riding than its predecessor, but still handled well and won the plaudits of distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500 SL made from 1980 had an all-alloy fuel-injected V8 for Europe only with 60mph available in 7.4 secs and top speed of 140mph, faster even than the 560 SL. Plenty of R107s come to market, but 500 SLs are a rarity, with only 11,812 built.
Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000*
Reg No: SRR 333F MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GHN4U158936G
This example has benefitted from much expenditure since the millennium, hence it appears in excellent order throughout. It received a major overhaul in 2002, when it was restored with a new body shell by Revival Oldtimer International, costing some £13,700. Its present condition follows mechanical improvements and a cosmetic makeover completed by Little Garage Classics in 2017, during which it was repainted in Audi Silver Metallic. The modern colour harmonises well with the classic shape, and is complemented by a grey leather interior and a dark blue hood and tonneau cover.
Little Garage also overhauled the engine, which is now decidedly hot – it has been bored out to 1998cc and makes use of a Stage Two cam and a free-flow exhaust. The head has had an unleaded conversion and the gearbox is equipped with overdrive. Only the chunky Minator (Minilite-style) wheels with competition-style knock-off caps hint that not all is standard under the bonnet. Electronic ignition was fitted in 2018, followed by a new battery in 2022. With seven keepers since 2003, including the present owner since 2017, the car has been well-maintained, as the large documents file testifies. There are many invoices and MOT certificates running back to 2003, a reproduction handbook and details of the car’s full specification, in addition to the current V5C.

Understood to have been built in Australia and delivered new on 2 April 1981 to its first owner living in Victoria, records show this Moke as being serviced in Perth, WA in April 1982. It was purchased in South Lakes, Perth, by the vendor in December 1989 and used regularly before being brought to the UK in 2019. Said to be in original condition, it benefits from a galvanised chassis and should make a straightforward restoration project. Fitted with a blue denim style hood and side screens which will also require attention, it comes with NOVA approval document and assorted history.
With the laudable intention of providing a lightweight scout vehicle for the British Armed Forces, BMC inadvertently created one of the Swinging Sixties’ most iconic vehicles, the Mini-derived Moke. Lack of ground clearance made the utilitarian four-seater ineffective as a military tool, yet the civilian version carved itself a niche as a ‘beach buggy’ or ‘resort car’ for nations with suitable climates. Moke production began in Britain (14,500 units in 1964-68) before moving to Australia (26,000 1966-81) and finally Portugal (10,000 1980-93). Portuguese manufacture allowed the Moke to rationalise components with the then-current Mini Mk4, including the fitment of disc brakes and 12-inch wheels.

The Morris Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and 13 years later became the first British car to achieve one million sales. The original Minor was a sedate performer but equipped with independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel drum brakes, it was however practical, economical as well as fun. Convertible models were dropped in June 1969, and saloon production ended in November 1970.
Owned by an enthusiast and MMOC member since 2007, VPG 61G was subject to a c.£20,000 comprehensive professional restoration carried out by Shakespeare Garage of Buxton. Many new parts have been fitted including rear inner wings, new front wings, uprated seats, additional instruments and a new hood. Sadly ill health meant the late owner never got to enjoy the car and following recommissioning after a period of storage it is now being offered by the garage on behalf of the estate. We are advised only minimal mileage has been completed post-restoration and we understand a new MoT certificate and replacement V5C should be present by the time of sale. Starting readily it drove well upon inspection - the clutch up the hills in Buxton displaying zero slip and giving confidence in the car’s driving ability.

Launched in 1971, the Baur-designed 2002 Cabriolet featured a sturdy rollover hoop separating the detachable targa panel at the front from the rear folding hood. The Cabriolet suffered only a slight weight penalty with no discernible loss of performance and total RHD production reputedly amounted to 354 cars (260 of which sported ‘round taillights’).
Finished attractively in ‘Chamonix’ White with black leather upholstery and black ‘Baur’ top, chassis 2791022 was built to right-hand drive specification and UK registered in April 1973. Understood to have spent a good proportion of the 1980s and 1990s in Valencia with a previous keeper, the dry climate would have helped preserve its structure. Sourcing parts from marque specialists Jaymic and Linwar and using the services of I.K. Classics and Marriott Auto Services, the vendor has had attention paid to the braking system (front discs, callipers, servo, master cylinder), clutch master cylinder and carburettor. Further benefiting from a new targa roof from Cabrio Supply at a cost of £731.95 and the installation of electronic ignition, ‘JCA 654’ passed its last MOT with ‘no advisories’. A rare, stylish four-seater Cabriolet, this ‘round taillight’ 2002 Baur has much to recommend it. Offered with bookpack, invoices and current V5C document.

Fetchingly presented in its original colour of Jet Black, this GTI was supplied new to Northern Ireland but landed on the British mainland in 1989. The MOT record running back to 1992 hints that it was being well-maintained, and in 2000 the engine was stripped down and overhauled by Airspeed after 90,395 miles. The present mileage reading stands at 110,600 miles, so it has only covered 20,200 miles with the overhauled engine.
In 2006, the Golf was taken off the road so a comprehensive overhaul of the entire car could commence. However, the restoration was started but never completed until it was bought by the vendor in March this year. The vendor is a serial restorer with a nose for good projects and, having just finished the Golf in the last few weeks, is selling it so he can rescue more cars. New wings, sills, arches, and front and rear panels were bought by the vendor, along with a new windscreen, headlights and stainless-steel exhaust. There is documented evidence of almost £900 being spent on new parts and, thereafter, the wheels have been refurbished, with new tyres fitted, and the whole car has been resprayed. The interior is superb, with a later radio-CD player installed. Offered with a large history file including a large selection of previous invoices and the V5C.

This charming specimen was registered on 5th December, 1952, and has had seven recorded keepers from new. Its paperwork history runs back to 1997, with MoT certificates confirming its presence on the road in the late 1990s. In 2000, it had the good fortune to be acquired by one very sympathetic owner who would keep it until 2017. Not long after he purchased it, he had the engine overhauled for £2,000, and in 2007 he delivered the car to TT Workshops for further renovation. TT removed the body and overhauled the Morgan from the chassis up. The steering box was refurbished, the suspension and brakes were rebuilt with new parts, the clutch was relined and the engine and wiring received close attention. Additionally, the wheels were refurbished and the body was resprayed in its attractive dark green, with some work also being completed on the wooden frame. The work was a real labour of love, totalling some £24,000 by the time the car emerged in 2008.
Having been brought up to an especially high standard, the Morgan was enjoyed across two ownerships for some 7 years, but when the vendor bought it in 2023 it once again required improvement. He performed a thorough service and overhauled the fuel system, which was sufficient to make the engine run on song. He then undertook some cosmetic detailing, while the interior was substantially renewed with new carpets, a new dashboard and a new rev counter.
All the Morgan needs now is an owner who will drive it spiritedly once again. It represents a highly useable example in a particularly pleasing condition. The 2008 repaint has mellowed but remains very smart and show-worthy, while the lovely leather upholstery exhibits a very agreeable patina. MoT certificates, invoices and photographs of the 2007-08 overhaul testify as to how well looked-after this car has been, and we can’t think of a better way to enjoy proper, old-fashioned sports motoring. The present V5C and restoration images are also included.

At first glance, this Karmann Ghia looks is nothing unusual. It’s been wellmaintained, the paint is eye-catching and some natty aftermarket wheels set it off nicely. There’s a surprise, though. Gone is the famous Beetle flat-four with its distinctive patter – hiding in this car is an electric motor.
This 1969 model was sold originally through Masters Ltd. in Hamilton, Bermuda, in 1970, but was imported to Britain in 1975 and registered ‘HKS 667N’. The previous owner kept the Karmann from 2010 until 2020 and, during that time, effected renovations which brought it up to its present show-car appearance. The work included repainting the body in Porsche Guards Red, fitting the chromed replica Fuchs wheels and renovating the interior in a beautiful two-tone with a Retro Radio.
In 2021, the present owner commissioned an electric conversion using Tesla battery packs and a 90kW EV Hype motor from EV Europe. The front and rear battery packs respectively contain three and four 5.3kWh Tesla Model S battery modules, which give a total of 37.1kWh and a nominal 159V, for an approximate 120 miles between charges. The original fourspeed gearbox has been retained and adapted for the new power source, and can be engaged if desired. Owing to the increased power and weight resulting from the conversion, the brakes have been upgraded with independent servo systems front and rear, and the suspension has been uprated with coil-over shock absorbers. The car also benefits from four new tyres and in internal heater. The DVLA has approved the conversion.
With its smooth bodywork, the Karmann Ghia was always a futuristiclooking car; with an electric motor as well, it seems almost like something from science-fiction. This car is expertly-finished and supplied with the original owner’s manual and books, the current V5C, a memory stick containing photographs of the renovation and conversion, various technical writings about the conversion, plus charging instructions and a manual for the radio.

Introduced for the 2006 model year, Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage Coupé was launched at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. Although it resurrected a famous model designation from the company’s past, the latest Vantage was all-new, featuring a 4.3-litre quad-cam V8 engine loosely patterned on Jaguar’s ‘AJ’ unit and equipped with dry-sump lubrication. The latter enabled the engine to be mounted low in the chassis for better handling, while the use of a rear transaxle resulted in near-perfect 49/51 front-rear weight distribution. Exquisitely designed and detailed while possessing class-leading agility and performance, the Vantage was nevertheless a practical two-seater with a large tailgate and 10.5ft3 rear luggage compartment. In May, 2008, Aston Martin introduced numerous updates for the Vantage, the most significant being a revised engine of 4.7 litres capacity producing 420bhp and 347lb ft of torque (a 15 per cent. increase). Thanks to the increased power and torque there was a welcome boost in performance, the 0-60mph time dropping to 4.7 seconds and the top speed increasing to 180mph.
With four owners and just over 22,000 miles covered from new, this striking Lightning Silver V8 Vantage appears as a very well-preserved example of Aston Martin’s elegant compact GT. Finished to a very high specification with an interior in Obsidian Black Caithness leather with Silver stitching, Piano Black facia trim and a Tailor’s Grey Alcantara headlining, other features include Bluetooth telephone preparation, front parking sensors, heated sports seats, sports suspension and 19in V-spoke Graphite DT wheels. This particular model is very much tailored for the driving enthusiast, being equipped with the post-2008 4.7-litre V8 and the six-speed Graziano manual gearbox. Delivered new on 23rd June, 2012, although not registered until May, 2013 (as ‘VX13 DHL’), it has seemingly been very well cared-for across its whole life, with four main dealer services and two marque specialist services across its life, the most recent service being at 18,555 miles. The present owner has overseen a period of light use and regular maintenance from 2020.
All things considered, it is no surprise that the Aston presents so well in all aspects, with the paint, interior and mechanicals all appearing in very good condition. A true modern classic designed with spirited Continental touring in mind, it promises many thousands more miles of satisfying motoring. It is offered for sale with the current V5C, the original book pack including the combined owner’s manual and service record, assorted invoices and MOT certificates, plus a valid MOT at the time of sale.

Sales of the Ford Skyliner were relatively strong, given its considerable price tag, but it hardly needs be said that very few made their way to British shores. There exists only a small handful of Skyliners of all years in this country, most of them imported in the last 30 or 40 years, and this mid-production is certainly among the best of them. In fact, this car was formerly owned in America by Mr. Mike and Mrs. Maggie McGuire, Mike being at one stage the treasurer of the International Ford Retractable Club (IFRC) – the club for all 1957-59 Skyliners. Mr. McGuire subjected it to a comprehensive body-off overhaul between 1999 and 2000, and after it emerged from that it went on to win first place at one of the Antique Automobile Club of America’s Grand National Auto Shows and was named a Showcase Gold Level Award Winner in the IFRC – the highest possible accolade within the club. It is believed that the striking red and white is the original colour scheme.
The McGuires cherished the Skyliner for more than 10 years after that, and only agreed to part with it in 2013 because they had befriended the vendor, an Englishman and committed enthusiast of mid-century Americana, who had been searching long and hard for the ‘right’ Skyliner – the model, to him, represented the pinnacle of futuristic extravagance of the ’50s. A deal was done and the Ford made a transatlantic crossing, since when the vendor has given it all the care and affection of which it is so thoroughly deserving. The car has been occasionally shown in his ownership, and in 2020 he wrote of his search for the car and his experiences of ownership for Classic American magazine, saying “She tends to steal the thunder from other cars. There’s not much to match her.”
Part of the vendor’s rationale for choosing this particular Skyliner was that it came loaded with all the most desirable accessories, all of which would have added several hundred dollars to its already considerable price when new. Most prominent among them is the flamboyant Continental kit at the rear, inspired by the spare-wheel carrier on the celebrated 1940 Lincoln Continental. Features also include twin combination spotlight-mirrors. The letterbox-style exhaust tips are another stylish accessory.
During his 12 years of ownership, the vendor has effected a few subtle upgrades to make the Ford more useable in modern conditions. These include a Bluetooth connector for the radio and an electric wiper motor. He has also gone a little bit further in the search
for period accessories, and succeeded in locating a new old-stock in-car multi-stack 45in record player. To preserve its outstanding condition, the Ford has always been kept garaged underneath a custom-made indoor car cover in matching red with white piping. Needless to say, the vendor has not neglected maintenance and the engine received a tune-up in 2024, with the Holley carburettor being rejetted. The hardtop has been kept fully operational and, indeed, benefitted from a routine service earlier this year. A regulator and dynamo service has also been completed this year.
There’s a wonderful irony in the fact that this car epitomises American automobile culture, and yet the ability to change from fully-open to fully-closed motoring at the flick of switch makes it seem as though it was tailor-made for our unpredictable British weather! No matter whether skies are blue or dark rain clouds are brooding overhead, this is a car you can enjoy anywhere at any time, and you’ll do so in unsurpassed style. Sold with an impressive history file containing the current V5C, photographs of the body-off overhaul and a delightful collection of original sales material, look no further than this fantastic Ford for ‘happy days’ ahead.

It was purchased by the vendor at auction a couple of years ago but lacking the time needed to invest in the work or having the garage space required he has regretfully decided to sell. The bodywork is said to look mostly solid with some corrosion spots in expected areas. The engine bay is mostly tidy with some rust visible in the front boot which will require attention.

Undoubtedly, the pinnacle of TF production was the 160 model, powered by a 1,796cc variant of the K-series engine known as the 18K4K, which featured variable valve control. The VVC engines were lauded for their ability to generate more power without compromising torque, thus making them blessed with extremely flexible performance. By the time it appeared in the TF, MG Rover had extracted 158bhp from the 160 engine, making the TF good for a claimed 137mph and 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds.
This superb TF 160 dates from the final months of production and must rank among the best survivors. Having had just three owners and covered only 14,500 miles from new, it is extremely well-preserved and is certainly among the best TFs on the market at the moment. The MOT record shows that it has been in near-continuous, albeit extremely light, use since 2009, when it had its first MOT test at 12,058 miles. Thereafter, it would cover only a few hundred or a few dozen miles a year, and it is offered for sale with an MOT valid until 28th April, 2026.

Slough-built in 1954 this example was first registered in Jersey on 11th January 1955 and sold by G.H. Pool & Sons to a Mr Raphael Fraydon of St. Helier. A Jersey registration document lists several owners between 1955 and 1972 when it is believed to have entered the Coleman collection. Three futher registered keepers are recorded from 1980 to 1988 when it was re-registered with another Jersey number. In 1994 the owner moved to the UK mainland and a large quantity of invoices and documents evidence a bare metal respray and wax-oil in 1990. From then until now it has been pampered with extensive work including another respray in 1998 and re-trim of the soft leather interior in 2011 which remains in remarkable condition.

Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, its 1798cc ‘B’ series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

Donald Healey’s prototype two-seater sports car displayed at the 1952 London Motor Show was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals with a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. Dubbed the ‘Healey Hundred’ (chosen to reflect the car’s ability to reach the magic 100mph), there was a suitably encouraging response and Healey planned to produce it in-house at his Warwick factory. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype impress the public, but also Austin’s Managing Director, Leonard Lord, who struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The early examples (code-named BN1s) were equipped with the same 90bhp 2660cc engines and manual four-speed transmissions as the A90, although Austin modified the gearbox to operate as a three-speed unit with overdrive on the top two ratios. A 1953 BN1 tested by Motor magazine hit 106mph and achieved 0-60mph in 11.2 seconds. A total of 10,688 BN1s are believed to have been produced between 1953 and 1955.
Chassis BN1-L/158357 was built on the 29th of June 1954 and was made to export specification in left-hand drive, being distributed new to the Austin Motor Company of North America for supply to the United States of America. Finished from the factory in Spruce Green paintwork, the 100/4 was specified with the factory-fitted equipment of wire wheels, twelve-volt electrics, SU H4 carburettors, and 590 x 15 tyres. Residing in America until 2012, the Healey was thereafter repatriated to the United Kingdom from the State of California by the first British keeper, seemingly complete but requiring restoration. Lavished with an extensive restoration subsequently by that owner, the Austin-Healey was provided with a total expenditure throughout the restoration of approximately £77,000, with significant numbers of invoices on file for the works completed.
Stripped down to a bare shell with panels replaced as necessary and a complete repaint provided by specialists Bexon Auto Classics. The engine was fully overhauled by marque expert Richard Parker of Denis Welch fame with very close tolerances and all the components were balanced, the flywheel lightened, the crank enhanced for a rear oil seal, and utilising of an alloy cylinder head, alloy sum, Le Mans pistons, a Vernier cam sprocket and flexy oil pick-up pipe. The engine also received 123 electronic ignition, an alternator, a re-cored radiator, a retro-fitted Kenlowe fan, and new high-power starter motor, with the gearbox also reconditioned and a new overdrive also fitted.
Disc brakes are fitted on the front, and a brand new Healey 3000 steering box is supplied to improve handling. The remainder of the mechanical restoration was completed by
Healey aficionado Gerald Stevenson, with the car completed and returned to the road in 2017. Very shortly afterwards (in 2018) purchased into The Loch Lomond Collection for some £63,000; the collection is made up of excellent examples of predominantly 1950s, 60s, and 70s classics. Completing the Scottish Malts Rally while in the vendor’s collection, the Healey has seen minimal other mileage while in the collection and still displays just 1,500 post-restoration miles on the odometer and therefore, a degree of recommissioning might be required before pressing into road use therefore.
Offered with a large history file which includes the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, the aforementioned extensive invoices, previous MOTs, shipping documents, a current V5C document and over 200 photographs documenting the exhaustive restoration, it is further accompanied by a Black soft-top, side screens, tonneau cover, spare wheel, and toolkit. Healey 100s to ‘M’ specification are highly desirable examples of the iconic ‘Big Healey’ and with this example having covered minimal mileage since the complete restoration, it is surely one to consider for anyone in the market for a Healey!

The combination of their rarity and excellent design – the Triple-M Register describes them as “the last flowering of the overhead-cam MGs and considered by many to be the best” – makes any N-type a desirable option for the enthusiast of pre-war sports cars, but this NB faux cabriolet is something even better – a unique machine, beautifully presented but shrouded in mystery. It is the only known instance of faux cabriolet bodywork on a Triple-M (Midget, Magnette and Magna) chassis, and certainly not a product of the MG factory – the only Abingdon-bodied N-type with a saloon body was a prototype which was rebuilt as a tourer within a year.
It is known from records that NA0801 was one of just 44 N-types to leave Abingdon in chassis form, and its destination was Ireland. It gained the registration ‘ZA 5865’ on 5th October, 1935, wore blue paint and belonged originally to Joseph Canty of Dublin’s Dolphin Hotel. It had two further owners before being acquired post-war by James Corcoran, a publican of County Roscommon. It is wonderful that so much early history survives, but it sheds no light on the origins of the body.
MG experts have only been able to conclude that the coachwork is original and the product of an unknown Irish coachbuilder. The construction exhibits skill enough to be the work of accomplished craftsmen, although it lacks the absolute refinement of the well-known body-builders of the time (the timbers, for example, are a little chunkier than is common).
To bring the NB’s history up to the present, it was stripped for restoration by Corcoran but the work never got underway. It is thought to have been purchased directly from him by the well-known Irish enthusiast Kieran White, but he advertised it for sale in 1995, having also left it untouched. From there, it came to the attention of Philip Bayne-Powell in England, one of the most prolific restorers of Triple-Ms. By that stage, the body was covered in surface rust and rot had attacked the timbers. The chassis was largely dismantled and the original engine and gearbox were absent. Mr. Bayne-Powell nevertheless committed to reviving the car, with friend and timberwork specialist Keith Portsmore. The body frame was subsequently rebuilt, with the original timbers retained wherever possible. Fabricator James Pettitt produced new rear wings, reskinned the doors, remade a large section of the bonnet and repaired most of the other panels. The chassis was reconstructed using a combination of original spares and new parts, and an engine and gearbox of the correct type were sourced. Various specialists recovered the fabric roof, repainted the body and
reupholstered the interior. The engine was subject to an overhaul by an MG specialist and, for good measure, was fitted with a Marshall 87 supercharger.
The project was fundamentally completed in 2002, although other projects came along and the NB only came back into use properly in 2022. Subsequently, the full history of the car and its comprehensive reconstruction was detailed in an authoritative article by Zack Stiling in the August, 2024, issue of The Automobile.
After Mr. Bayne-Powell sold the car in 2024, having expended some £50,500 across his ownership, the new owner lavished further attention upon it, including a thorough service and detailing. On the cosmetic side, he installed new carpets and had the wheels attractively powder-coated in black. Chassis and mechanical work included a radiator recore and the fitment of an electric fan. The camshaft drive bearings and oil seals were replaced, and the original carburettor was overhauled and reinstalled. The brakes benefitted from new front cables and new linings. Offered for sale with the current V5C, historic MoTs, numerous invoices, photographs of the rebuild and other historic documents, this uniquely elegant and appealingly mysterious N-type is surely the ideal MG for any enthusiast with an eye for the unusual.

The Morgan 4/4 was in production for an amazing eighty-three years (1936-2019), a fact that earned both manufacturer and model a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The Malvern Company’s first fourwheeled / four-cylinder design (hence the name), it stayed true to the same tried and tested formula for generations. Unveiled in 1993, the Morgan 4/4 1800 was faster, cleaner and more frugal than many of its predecessors. Based around a box-section ladder-frame chassis equipped with independent ‘sliding pillar’ front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and disc / drum hydraulic brakes, the aluminium over ash construction of its bodywork contributed towards a commendably low kerb weight (circa 868kg). Embracing the marque tradition of using proprietary running gear, the newcomer was powered by a Ford-sourced 1796cc four-cylinder ‘Zetec’ engine (complete with fuel-injection and double-overhead camshafts) allied to five-speed manual transmission. Impractical yet beguiling, the 4/4 1800 sported a basic interior, minimal luggage space and potentially argumentative hood offset by a singularly involving driving experience and vivid acceleration.
Supplied by ‘Wykehams’ South Kensington finished in special order ‘Jaguar BRG’ over Stone leather, this 4/4 benefits from a Speedfit easy up hood conversion and is described as being in immaculate condition with full service history. Displaying some 18,800 warranted miles, the last service was completed at 17,620 miles and included a cambelt change. Fitted with a galvanised chassis, walnut fascia and luggage rack from the factory. In long term ownership from 1999 to 2021, it comes with assorted old MoTs, invoices, original build sheet, trickle charger, car cover, current MoT to March 2026 and Swansea V5c.

Rootes American Motors Inc. saw the potential for inserting the same powerplant - Ford’s 4.2-litre (260 cu in) ‘Windsor’ unit - into the nose of the stylish but rather pedestrian Sunbeam Alpine. Carroll Shelby was duly commissioned to build a prototype (known as the white car) in April 1963 and the rest is history. The basic layout of the Alpine was retained and the car featured independent suspension at the front using coil springs, and a ‘live’ axle at the rear supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. The 164bhp engine endowed the newcomer with a top speed of around 120mph and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of under eight seconds. Available from 1964 to 1967, a total of some 7,085 Tigers were produced.

Finalised in 1997, the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph was conceived using computer-aided design ‘CAD’ (a marque first). Powered by a 5.4 litre V12 BMW engine, just 369 of the 1,382 examples made were to right-hand drive specification. Unveiled to the UK press at Ackergill Tower Castle in January 1998, one of the demonstrators was a pre-production car registered as ‘R396 DTU’.
Among the earliest RHD Silver Seraphs to be completed, chassis WCH01048 was issued with the Works number plate ‘R405 DTU’ on February 12th 1998; several weeks in advance of the model’s international launch at the Geneva Motor Show. Retained by Rolls-Royce themselves (presumably for press and special duties), the luxury saloon was re-registered twice whilst BMW and Volkswagen contested the marque’s future. A long-term Rolls-Royce devotee who had previously owned a Silver Shadow and Silver Spirit, Howard Coleman Esq became the Silver Seraph’s first private keeper in 2000. Retaining the car until his passing twenty-five years later, more recent invoices on file detail attention to the air-conditioning condensers (2019), rear suspension spheres (2021) and alternator (2023). Entrusted to marque specialist The Chelsea Workshop during August last year, ‘R405 DTU’ had its battery replaced, brake / cooling systems fettled and underwent a full service at a cost of over £10,000. Warranted to have covered a modest 68,000 or so miles from new, the Silver Seraph is thought to retain the majority of its original Black Sapphire paintwork (actually a rich Dark Blue metallic hue) and still presents extremely well. Piped in Atlantic Blue to match the dashboard top, the Oatmeal leather upholstery is complemented by burr walnut veneers, Dark Blue Wilton carpets and Dark Blue lambswool over rugs. Predictably well specified and finished given its first custodian, the four-seater has the unusual (and very costly) extra of an electric sunroof. A notably early, factory-registered example, this handsome Silver Seraph is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, service history (predominantly Broughtons) and tool kit.

Four years ago, this 1600 GT was in a sorry state. The vendor found it on eBay, where it was being offered from Northern Ireland as a total restoration project. As a serial restorer of old Fords, he decided to save it. The chassis was pretty good, but the bodywork had deteriorated badly. After the shell was stripped and sandblasted, almost every panel had to be replaced. The vendor spent over £8000 at Ex-Pressed Steel Panels buying new old-stock inner and outer wings, front and rear panels, cabin and boot floors, and sills.
The mechanical side needed a lot of attention, too, though the engine maintained good oil pressure. The vendor invested in a new water pump, alternator, starter motor and coil, and was satisfied with the carburettors after giving them a check-over. The radiator was recored, the brakes were completely overhauled with new parts, a completely new wiring loom, and the suspension received new springs at the front and new shock absorbers at the rear. Throughout the project, all new parts were sourced through club-recommended suppliers.
As the car came together, the vendor tracked down a lot of new trim, plus new wheels and tyres. The body was beautifully painted in Ford’s Blue Mink metallic and all the chrome was replated, while the interior received a new headlining and some partial retrimming, but much of it had survived in fairly good condition and the vendor elected to preserve the original material wherever possible.
The project was completed in early 2024, and since then the Cortina has mainly been used for shows. Upon inspection, the quality of the restoration becomes self-evident, and it is a notably nicely presented example. The project has clearly been a labour of love and the vendor has been meticulous in ensuring that the car presents virtually as it would have done when new. Cortina 1600 GTs are an extremely rare sight these days, and this must be one of the best there is.

Looking particularly handsome in its original colours of Black with Beige hide, Fawn headlining and Black carpets, this elegant Shadow was originally supplied through H. R. Owen to Ian Morrison, Esq., of Larkhill Properties, Ramillies Street, London W1. It was specified with several desirable options including plain Sundym glass throughout, a Philips cassette player, Lucas quartz iodine spotlamps on both sides, blackwall radial tyres and wing mirrors. The late owner, a longstanding Rolls-Royce collector, purchased the Shadow from Cumbria Classic Cars in 1999 and promptly set about a programme of extensive bodywork repairs, which was completed across 2000 by Kar Kraft Bodywork Services. Subsequent invoices running between 2001 and 2004 detail considerable expenditure on consumables and general upkeep, during which period the Shadow was being regularly enjoyed on Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club rallies. While still presenting well, the Shadow has been out of use for some 20 years while the vendor’s attention was taken up by his other cars, although there is evidence of the brakes being refurbished in 2021 and the wood trim being relacquered in 2022. It is offered for sale with copies of the Rolls-Royce build sheets, very many invoices spanning 2000 to 2004, some historic MOT certificates, photographs of the car as bought in 1999 and during the bodywork repairs, and various technical papers.

The third generation of the Ghibli (Tipo M157) was unveiled at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show. There is no doubt that the Maserati Ghibli is a good-looking car; the long bonnet, the famous grille and nice upwards turning headlights. All of these touches help create a very subtle yet aggressive-looking saloon. The Ghibli is available in 3 variants; the base model, the diesel and lastly the S variant. An eight-speed automatic transmission was standard on all models.
Beautifully presented in Black with full Natural leather upholstery, ‘LK15 DCO’ has covered a mere c.36,000 miles from new and had just 1 former keeper. Offered with extensive main dealer and specialist service history, the last bout of maintenance was carried out under 1,000 miles ago in January of this year. Included in the sale is a printout of all the factory options fitted to the Maserati (which confirms it’s a very well specified example) plus a battery conditioner, 2 keys, factory handbooks, CD and leather wallet. Said to have had all its software updates carried out, the Ghibli possess a ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until March 2026.

In 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer XJS at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a silky V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be specified with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, it proved to be a refined drive and production continued until 1996.
This cherished XJS 4.0 comes with a fully stamped service book up to 116,000 miles (currently recording c.129,000) and an advisory free MoT until April 2026. Mechanically the car is said to drive very well with “excellent oil pressure etc”. Presented in Jaguar ‘Kingfisher Blue’ over Oatmeal leather with walnut fascia, it is supplied with aforementioned current MoT, comprehensive service history and Swansea V5c document and sits on four matching Pirelli P6000 tyres.

Built to order number 0820431535 for the UK market, chassis WDB1290642F182474 was delivered on March 9th 1999. Finished in the most iconic (and arguably best) colour for a Mercedes-Benz, namely Brilliant Silver Metallic, the SL 320’s impressive specification also included a Black soft-top, 3.2-litre V6 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, wood trim to the steering wheel and gear lever surround, Grey Nappa leather upholstery, heated / memory seats, folding mirrors, Xenon headlights (with wash / wipe) and 17-inch alloy wheels. Warranted to have covered some 89,000 miles from new (an average of less than 3,500 per annum), the two-seater was entrusted to independent Mercedes-Benz and AMG specialist AMF Automotive of Kent for an ‘A’ service and replacement MAF sensor in December 2023. That same month also saw its suspension and brakes refreshed with new arms, springs and discs at each corner (c.1,200 miles ago). Although, the corresponding invoice for £3,267.43 has been mislaid. Treated to refurbished alloys all-round last year, the SL 320 also benefited from the ministrations of Merctech. Arguably even more presentable underneath than on top (a decided rarity for a R129), the two-seater started readily upon inspection. Self-evidently the subject of much recent expenditure, this smart SL 320 sits well and is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with valid MOT certificate, book pack and paperwork file.

One of four survivors and the only one not in a museum, this fantastically innovative Edwardian machine comes with history dating back to 1980, when it was sold to a German enthusiast. It was shipped to New Zealand for a restoration by Wallace McNair in 1984 before returning to Germany, where it was tragically involved in a fire in 2011 which destroyed the original body and irreparably damaged the engine. The chassis survived in a restorable condition and was rebuilt over 10 years with a racy roadster body. It was gifted in 2021 to StarterMotor, a charity set up to help young enthusiasts enter the classic car industry, which is now offering it for sale to raise funds.
The reconstruction involved sourcing a replacement Continental engine, and the electric motor was re-engineered using a traction motor inside the original casing. The car was brought back to an operational standard, albeit without the ability to self-charge on account of the modified motor. The electrical circuits were later removed, so the Woods will require rewiring before use. Looking very fetching with its skimpy sports body, it would make a rewarding recommissioning project, though a more committed restorer might be encouraged to replicate the original brougham body. The proceeds of the sale plus a third of the buyer’s premium will go to StarterMotor.

According to a record from the Italian Ministry of Transport, chassis 2203181 was first registered in the Treviso region on the 21st April 1970. We understand that the first owner kept it for five years before it was sold to the second owner in 1974 and then several owners’ prior to leaving Italy in 2017. Although there are no paper records to confirm, it is believed that it has been subjected to extensive cosmetic work including a complete repaint into its attractive original hue of metallic green and the interior was treated to a complete retrim in tan.
The vendor acquired the BMW directly from Italy in 2017 and immediately had it imported to the UK and registered with the DVLA. Notable for using his classic vehicles extensively, the vendor has lavished the CS with mechanical attention, including works to the coolant system including a new water pump, radiator and fan, a new electronic distributor, electrical system including a replacement alternator and new fuse box, a brake overhaul including new front callipers plus a new windscreen.
Now offered for sale as the vendor has several classic vehicles and the ever-present issue of maintaining a certain amount of space needed for them, we have been told that the car presents and a ‘drivers’-car’ that can be cosmetically improved should a prospective owner wish. He rates the bodywork condition as ‘average’, whilst the engine is rated as ‘good’ and the interior trim is perceived by him to be ‘very good’. Accompanied by a modest history file including the aforementioned Italian paperwork, several invoices for work in the vendor’s ownership plus a workshop manual, this attractive E9 is though to be the oldest example registered in the UK at the time of writing.

Among the fastest, most luxurious saloons of its generation, the four-door Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 was introduced at the 1970 Amsterdam Motor Show. The work of Paul Bracq, its elegant, understated lines were shared with the rest of the W108 range but gave little clue as to the newcomer’s reputed 125mph potential. Powered by a freshly-developed 3499cc SOHC V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission, it was credited with developing some 200bhp.
Purchased at auction by our vendor in 2021 (for the sum of £45,000); This 280SE saloon presents in excellent overall condition following an extensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration. It is powered by the ‘M116’ V8, coupled to a four-speed automatic gearbox. An original UK-market example, it was despatched in May 1972 starting life Red, before being resprayed in the stunning gloss Black it presents today. Restored at a cost exceeding £130,000 by T&D Heaney Motor Co. between 2013 and 2016 - the car will be accompanied by a substantial invoice detailing the works carried out. During its restoration, the car’s bodywork was fully stripped and repaired where necessary, while the doors, front and rear wings, boot floor, side members and bootlid were replaced. Inside, the cabin has been retrimmed in tan leather with black piping on the seats and matching tan carpets, while the original wood dashboard trim is still in place. Factory equipment includes power steering, air conditioning and electric windows. The radio has been replaced with a contemporary digital system, with upgraded speakers to the parcel tray. The car is exempt from mandatory MOT testing due to its age, and its last test was conducted on 15 October 2012 at 98,188 miles, resulting in a clean pass with no warnings or advisories. The car has covered less than 1,100 miles since its extensive restoration which included a full engine and gearbox overhaul, replacement of all service items and chains, and servicing of the air conditioning system.

We are very pleased to present this supremely original SL320 in one of the loveliest colours offered, and also one of the rarest. The dazzling Tourmaline Green Metallic is evocative of coastal drives at the height of summer, and even though the paint on this car is almost 30 years old, it’s lost none of its sparkle. Stepping into the Mushroom leather interior, the car just gets more impressive – the general wear one expects to encounter with 30-year-old leather has been kept to an absolute minimum. But then, this car has always been looked after by the archetypal ‘one careful lady owner’. She bought it new from Mercedes-Benz Woking, has covered only around 34,000 miles, and kept on top of maintenance, with 17 services completed between 1997 and 2024. The first nine (up to 2011) and the latest two (2023 and 2024) were undertaken by Mercedes dealerships, and the rest have been the work of a trusted marque specialist.
In addition to the lovely colour scheme, this SL comes with a factory hardtop, and the black soft-top is in fine condition. Other desirable features include the five-speed automatic gearbox, polished alloy wheels, burr walnut interior trim, a wind deflector, a Blaupunkt radio, climate control, cruise control and power mirrors. It is additionally sold with a fullsize spare wheel, two sets of keys and an original book pack, including the owner’s manual and the stamped service book.
A recent appraisal of this car concluded: “The engine and gearbox are extremely smooth and perform as they should. There are no warning lights on the dashboard. The suspension is very compliant and smooth with no knocks or vibrations.” The last MOT tester was similarly pleased – the Mercedes has a certificate with no advisories valid until October, 2025. One-owner R129s are vanishingly rare and there can be few as original and well-preserved as this. Complete with book pack, service history and a V5C showing no former keepers, this is surely one for the connoisseur.

Launched in 2001 the Jaguar X-Type was Jaguar’s first foray into the small executive car market since the 1960’s. As such, this was important for Jaguar who needed to sway buyer’s away from the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class. Manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars until 2009 under the internal designation X400, for a single generation, in sedan/saloon and wagon/estate body styles. In addition to offering Jaguar’s first station wagon/estate in series production, the X-type would ultimately introduce its first diesel engine, four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive configuration. At launch, Autocar called the X-Type “the most important Jaguar ever” due to it’s significance in Jaguar’s history.
Displaying a warranted c.67,000 miles from new which is evidenced by the accompanying MOT’ and service history, this rare manual 3.0 SE has just one former keeper recorded who bought it from the selling dealer as an ‘ex-demo’ at 8 months old (the current trade owner not having transferred ownership). Said to be in very nice condition inside and out, the engine was very smooth on inspection, the headlining looks in great condition whilst the rear seats appear as if they have never been sat on.

Finished in an understated and rather debonair combination of Beluga Black with a light and airy Saffron hide interior, this Continental GT combines modern style with traditional luxury, and the desirable 19in Mulliner split-rim alloy wheels set it off with a sporting flourish. Originally sold through Bentley Hadley Green in Hertfordshire, it has had just four owners and covered only 47,000 miles from new, and at all times appears to have been meticulously looked-after.
The Bentley’s excellent service history reveals 16 services across 20 years, of which 14 were completed by a Bentley main dealer and two by a marque specialist, and we note that its September, 2021, service included the installation of new batteries and in September, 2024, it received new rear brake discs and pads. While this Continental appears as a pleasingly standard and original example, it has had a useful upgrade to its information system, which includes the addition of a reversing camera. The V5C, service book and various invoices are all present, and the vendor describes the car as “excellent” in all mechanical and cosmetic respects. With an impressive MOT record and a current MOT until June, 2026, this stands out as a superb and tastefully-specified example of what may be the best all-round GT car of this century.

Launched at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jaguar XK120 Roadster caused a sensation. Penned by Sir William Lyons, the model’s sensuous lines seemed almost impossibly glamorous to a country still feeling the effects of rationing. While the 120mph top speed that its name signified soon became the stuff of legend. Flooded with orders, Jaguar began limited hand-built production soon thereafter (although, it was not until 1950 that the factory was sufficiently ‘tooled-up’ to discard aluminium in favour of steel for the curvaceous bodywork). Credited with 160bhp and 190lbft of torque in standard tune, its legendary 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission.
Chassis 671921 was manufactured in left-hand drive specification being built on the 25th February 1952. Distributed new by Max Hoffman, New York, the Jaguars is first known to have been in a state of disrepair by the late-1980s. Understood to have been in long-term ownership thereafter America (for almost 30 years), the XK120 was entrusted by said owner, to the very highly regarded Sargent Metalworks of Bradford, VT, the winners of several awards at the exceptionally prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance including ‘Best in Show’ with a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC, and has an outstanding portfolio of past restoration work which includes numerous Bugattis and a Ferraris (including a 250 GTO).
Chassis 671921 was lavished with a comprehensive body-off restoration by Sargent Metalworks between 1989 and 1994, with the restoration expense reaching some $58,700, a figure that would be more akin to $100,000 today! Finished in the attractive colour combination of Dark Green paintwork with a Tan leather interior and a Beige hood, the Jaguar is uprated for ‘fast road’ or Vintage rallying use, including a tuned engine incorporating a C-Type cylinder head, a louvred bonnet, a Le Mans-style fuel filler cap, and Moto Lita steering wheel to name a few, with it reputed these changes were made with thoughts of use in the Mille Miglia Storica in the previous ownership. Repatriated to British shores c.2015, the XK120 was first registered on United Kingdom roads in September 2015 as ‘IG 4253’. The Jaguar is accompanied by a large history file including Jaguar chassis records, numerous previous invoices from the restoration and since, numerous photographs and records of the restoration works, a service manual, a spare parts catalogue, an operating, maintenance & service handbook and a current V5C document. Entered from The Loch Lomond Collection, a collection made up of examples of many prestigious 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s classics, the XK120 has only completed very local excursions while in the collection and therefore a degree of recommissioning might be required before pressing into road use.

This late “TB” series 20/25 came off test on 21st March 1932. Fitted with 3,669cc six-cylinder engine number A5J, which it retains to this day – the chassis went to Park Ward to be fitted with a 4 door, 4 light saloon body with division. The 1st owner was Mr Alexander Cameron, master tailor, of Esher, London who had premises in Conduit Street. He clearly loved the car keeping it until his death in 1950 whereby it passed to his widow, Lily. She sold it in 1955 to Sir Arthur Lucius Michael Cary GCB who in turn sold it in October 1974 to a Mr Dennis Allen. The history then becomes a little uncertain, but by 1995, it was owned by a Mr Redfern, of Alderley Edge, who owned it until June 2004.
Bought by a Robert Withrow in April 2021, it was next advertised for sale following his passing in the RREC magazine. The advert caught the eye of the late owner who bought it in May 2024. Sadly lost to cancer in early 2025 his mark on the car lives on, with the fitment of a Grenadier Guards badge on the badge bar. Since May 2025 the car has been subject to an extensive recommissioning programme, instigated by his widow, to see his dream through to completion.

Beautifully presented in an uncommon but very elegant claret, this Stag can attribute its exemplary condition to the fact that it has covered a mere 46,000 miles from new and benefitted from an extensive programme of renovations across the past 20 years. It was originally sold through the Tannery Farm Garage of St. Helens, Lancashire, to Mr. Jim Forrester of Southport. It is understood that ownership was transferred to Mrs. Molly Forrester, his wife, circa 1977, and in 1990 it passed to one of their daughters. Come 2005, the Stag had covered around 40,000 miles and remained highly original, but it had bodywork issues, faded paint and a faulty water pump, so it was sold out of the family after 33 years to a professional sprayer and panel-beater.
The car was refurbished and brought up to a high standard, and in 2012 it was sold to an enthusiast who maintained it meticulously until 2020, when it was bought by the vendor. A detailed log reveals that a recored radiator was installed in 2014, the anti-roll bar and steering rack were overhauled and new carpets and brake pads were bought in 2015, some welding to the floorpan was undertaken and new driveshafts went in in 2016, and in 2017 the front lights and the ignition switch were renewed, and a conversion to electronic ignition was effected. Finally, in the previous ownership, the tappets were overhauled in 2020 with new buckets and shims. The total spent on maintenance between 2012 and 2020 was around £6000.
With the vendor, the Stag has been used sparingly and was further upgraded with a four-speed automatic gearbox by Clive Tate in 2021. Consequently, it appears as a very versatile and refined open tourer offering endless opportunities for enjoyment. An impressive history file includes the current V5C, the original book pack, a handwritten mileage and service record spanning 1972 to 2001, and an additional record of work completed since 2012.

Whilst the XK120 stole the show, the Mark V vastly outsold it, achieving roughly 5,000 sales per year compared to around 2,000 for the XK120. The Mark V retained the 1946-48 driveline, featuring overhead-valve pushrod straight-six engines of 2.5 or 3.5 litres. However, it sat on a new chassis with independent front suspension by double wishbones and torsion bar – a feature adopted on many future Jaguar models. The Mark V also benefited from hydraulic brakes and an all pressed-steel body. Just 108 right-hand drive 3.5-litre Drophead Coupés were produced, with most built for the left-hand drive export market.
Manufactured in June 1951 as a home-market example, this rather stunning Mark V Drophead later travelled to Italy, where it was acquired by Bepi Koelliker – franchise owner for Jaguar, Morris, Land Rover, Mini, Austin, and Triumph. Koelliker was a prominent SS collector and Jaguar dealer near Milan. Alongside his franchise businesses, he maintained a private museum reportedly housing one of almost every Jaguar model made. Chassis 640371 was restored by his Jaguar workshops to an incredibly high standard and remained in his collection for many years.
When the franchise and collection were sold in 2012, a large number of Koelliker’s cars were repatriated to the UK through Landmark Cars, Chiswick. Chassis 640371 was among them and was purchased by its previous owner, an engineer by profession. Although the car had been unused for around ten years, it remained in excellent cosmetic condition, presented in its lovely Dark Blue with contrasting Tan leather interior. The car was subsequently recommissioned with replacement tyres, door seals and rubbers, cooling hoses, brake pipes, brake cylinder rubbers, and a re-cored radiator; the core plugs were removed and the waterways jetted out.
The car was then entrusted to Vicarage Jaguar for subtle adaptations to improve the driving experience. A five-speed Getrag gearbox was fitted, along with power steering. Alternator electrics were hidden within the original generator casing, and additional upgrades included a Kenlowe turbo fan, halogen headlamps, and a replacement windscreen made specifically for the car. Following these works, the Mark V participated in an 1,800-mile tour of Ireland with the Jaguar Drivers’ Club in 2013, where it won Best in Show at the Irish Jaguar Club Concours in Dublin against 1,250 other cars. It continued to be enjoyed until its sale to the current owner on 1 October 2017.
In current ownership, chassis 640371 has been cherished and enjoyed as part of a small family collection. The car has been well maintained and used regularly but is now offered for sale simply due to age. Recent works include a replacement master cylinder in July 2024 and a new exhaust in April this year.
Included with the vehicle is a comprehensive history file containing the original service manual and operating handbook, a magazine article featuring the car post-restoration dated 2007, a memory stick with photographs from a previous owner, a dating certificate, previous correspondence, and invoices and receipts for works undertaken. Also accompanying the car are the original four-speed gearbox, all parts removed for the power steering conversion, jack, wheel brace, and a largely complete original toolkit, with just a couple of components replaced.

Ford’s fourth and last Anglia - the 105E - broke cover in 1959. The styling displayed a strong American influence and included a sweeping nose, notchback rear window, and muted tail fins. Believed to have been in previous family ownership for c.35 years, the vendor advises he has known of the car within this family for this amount of time whilst the HPI register records a keeper change in 1991. A colour change from blue to blue is also recorded suggesting some level of restoration or a respray was carried out in 1986. Currently the car is fitted with a 109E engine instead of the correct 105E, although the replacement is a more robust unit. The interior looks to be of original material and appears in good order while the vendor informs us some aspects of the bodywork will be tidied before the car is offered for sale. Evoking the ‘Harry Potter’ flying Anglia as seen in ‘The Chamber of Secrets’, CPO 322B was running and driving at the time of consignment and is offered with a Swansea V5C document.

The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully-engineered motor car based on the shortened floorpan of the Mercedes-Benz W124 that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all-round (double wishbone at the front and a five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar, electro-hydraulic automated soft top and front air bags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and continued through to 2002 before being replaced by the R230 range.
Finished in blue complemented by a cream interior and blue automated convertible roof, this R129 Series SL 320 has just 4 former keepers recorded on HPI and comes with a current MoT certificate to August 2025, history file and Swansea V5c document.

A rare and perhaps unique proposition, based on a 1979 Mini 1275GT and re-shelled in 1989, the impressive specification includes a full road-legal track conversion, uprated 1340cc engine fitted with a Garrett AIResearch T3 Turbocharger, turbo-specific cam and duplex drivetrain. It also features additional cooling with a high capacity alloy radiator, additional cooling fan and oil cooler.
YFC 533V was subject to an engine overhaul and lightened flywheel in October of 2014 costing £3,606 and comes with over £43,000 in invoices. In addition to upgrades to the engine, the car benefits from a straight cut Jack Knight transmission, fully adjustable shock absorbers, tie bars and rear anti-roll bar, and sits on 13 inch wheels with uprated 4 pot calipers at the front. YFC 533V also features a stripped out interior with full bolt-in roll cage, bucket seats, performance dash with both internal/external battery isolator and full extinguisher system covering engine bay, interior and boot.

When new, the MG Midget was essentially a MkII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MkIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor’s capacity had been increased via 1,098cc to 1,275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones inherited from the Frog Eye Sprite and front drum brakes had been replaced with discs. A total of 226,001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100,246 of which were MkIII models.
According to the accompanying BMIHT Certificate this UK market Midget was built on 16-17 May 1974, finished in Teal Blue with Autumn Leaf interior, wire wheels and headrests, and dispatched to supplying dealer Wedhams Ltd, Taunton on 17 June 1974. Subject to a restoration in the 1980s and attention to the braking system in the vendor’s ownership, it is offered with a collection of invoices, passport to service and assorted old MoT certificates plus a Swansea V5c.

In the current ownership since 1987, this rare RMD Drophead Coupe was registered new in the UK on 14 April 1950 under the registration number JYS 1. This was subsequently removed in December 1987 and the registration RYL 585 issued to the car. Finished in Regal Red with tan interior piped red with red carpeting, it benefits from a retrimmed interior and new carpets, overhauled starter motor and dynamo and comes with a hood cover bag. It is also accompanied by a history file which includes a collection of old MoT certificates, an old buff logbook, current Swansea V5c document together with a collection of trophies.
While American designers were quick to adopt the latest fads following the end of WWII, many British companies continued to offer updated versions of their pre-war products into the early 1950s. The grim realities of post-war Britain created a situation that resulted in some wonderful models; cars that carried the sweeping lines of Europe’s finest pre-war sporting designs into a new era. The Riley RM Drophead Coupe was one such example - an upper mid-market post-WWII British car built to pre-war standards by a long-established and proudly independent firm. The genuine wood interior trim, leather seating, cabriolet top with exposed landau bars, rear-hinged doors and running boards combined to present, for one last round, a car redolent of a golden, but forever lost age. The RM was offered during 1948-1951, in 4-door Saloon, Sports Roadster and Drophead Coupe models. Only 502 RM Dropheads were produced, for both home market and export. The RM Series cars were the last ‘proper’ Rileys. The RMC and RMD being limited edition soft-tops, the latter offered more space following feedback from the RMC, while the latter was a conventional two-door Drophead Coupe, the RMC being a two-door Roadster version of the RMB.

The Championship White Edition cost an additional £1,140 above the standard Type R and featured an all-White colour scheme and a limitedslip differential. The paint was chosen to pay homage to the Type R’s heritage and the differential ensured a more accurate driving experience. Very well received; one review described the Championship as “one of the most agile and engaging hot hatches around, offering masses of grip and precise, communicative steering”, placing it above a Mountune Focus ST and Golf GTI Pirelli in a group test. No wonder they proved popular; with approximately 600 Championship White Edition examples sold in the United Kingdom.
Supplied new by ALM Garage Honda of Macclesfield to its first and only owner, ‘ML59 XEJ’ was registered new on the 30th November 2009 and is number ‘0029’ of the Championship Editions. Benefitting from the GT pack (which came standard on Championship cars) consisting of cruise control, dual-zone climate control, electric folding mirrors, cooled airbox, fog lights, and automatic wipers, the Type R has been used incredibly sparingly throughout the vendor’s ownership, with a mere c.3,300 warranted miles from new having been amassed across the fifteen-year custodianship. Now offered for sale directly from the sole owner, the Civic is a completely unmolested and original example.
Accompanied to sale by the original book pack with owner’s manual and service book presented in the Honda wallet, as well as purchase documentation including the purchase invoice and order form, numerous previous MOT certificates showing excellent advisory history and V5C document showing no former keepers. In addition, ‘ML59 XEJ’ boasts the original dealer number plates, rear windscreen sticker and original accessories. Rated as ‘excellent’ throughout (comprising engine, gearbox, electrics, bodywork, paintwork, and interior), finding another with this mileage is surely unrepeatable and this example would be a great addition to any collection!

Our example was manufactured on 14th September, 1966, originally finished in Carmen Red with a Black interior, and was despatched for sale through Henlys London, the famous distributor of Jaguars, Rolls-Royces and other prestigious marques. Little else is known of its early life, but at some stage it ended up in America, from where it was repatriated in 1990. As time progressed, it naturally started to grow tired, until it had the good fortune to fall into the hands of E-Type specialist Stuart Oliver in 2006, who proceeded to give it a whole new lease of life. Mr. Oliver commenced a very thorough overhaul, which included extensive mechanical and bodywork renovations.
The engine was totally disassembled and overhauled to an advanced state of tune. Its final specification comprised a high-compression (9.5:1) cylinder head with enlarged valves, high-lift cams, wide-blade rods, short-skirt pistons, a high-pressure oil pump, an alloy flywheel, a two-inch branch exhaust manifold and stainless exhaust, an alloy radiator with electric fan, adjustable shock absorbers, uprated torsion bars, Coopercraft four-pot callipers, a close-ratio gearbox, a 3.0:1 limited-slip differential and competition wire wheels. The body shell was stripped to the bare metal and resprayed in Porsche Guards Red – a close match for the original Carmen Red – while the interior was kept in the original Black.
We are profoundly satisfied with the quality of Mr. Oliver’s work, but we are by no means the only ones. Once the Jaguar had been fully renovated, it entered the Wigton Motor Club’s Classic Car Show in Dalemain every year from 2008 to 2011, and on each occasion was placed First in Class. The E-Type went back on the road in the summer of 2008, when its mileage reading stood at 12,716 miles. Since then, it has been kept in continuous use and MOTed annually, even though it has been exempt from testing since 2018 and only used lightly, primarily as a weekend car, hence it is offered for sale having covered only 3,000 miles since 2008. Mr. Oliver sold the car to its next owner in 2013, and he continued to have Mr. Oliver service and maintain it.
In 2015, the cylinder head was removed to receive an upgrade in the form of a competitionspecification head gasket. A more thorough overhaul was undertaken in June, 2021, which involved fitting a new brake servo, rear radius arm bushes and bonnet sealing strips. The engine bay was cleaned at the time and the underside was Waxoyled for good measure. A new brake master cylinder was fitted in 2022, and the car was again treated to a very comprehensive session of servicing, greasing, fluid changes and general pre-MOT checks
in March, 2024. At the same time, the carburettors were cleaned and rebuilt with new floats, needles and gaskets, some minor repairs were effected to the floor mats and carpets, and a few small electrical faults were rectified involving the indicators, the horn, earthing and some of the wiring along the steering column. Some new brake hoses were fitted, the cam cover gaskets were replaced, the top ball joints received new gaiters, a new rear interior lamp assembly was installed and the driver’s door was adjusted.
That ought to give some indication of just how meticulous the upkeep of this E-type has been, especially considering it has only covered around 200 miles since 2022. Further evidence of this is that it received not a single advisory at its most recent MOT test, which remains valid until May, 2026. Complete with the V5C, some original sales literature, many old MOTs and a Jaguar Cars heritage certificate, this really is a superb specimen of a Series I 4.2 which is ready for immediate use and enjoyment.

Mercedes-Benz’s internal designation for its compact saloon from 1993-2000, was W202. As the first generation of the C-Class, replacing the 190 series/W201 in June 1993, the C-Class sedan was Mercedes’ entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Production reached 1,847,382 over model years 1994–2000. Four distinctive trim levels were offered, Classic, Elegance, Esprit and Sport. The Sport featured lowered and uprated suspension, alloy wheels, sport seats, a carbon effect dash, leather rimmed steering wheel and a sunroof, being aimed at the more sporting driver.
Finished in Azurite blue over Navy leather interior and straight grain wood veneer this Elegance model has had just one owner from new and covered only c.34,000 miles with 8 services on file. Boasting a clean MOT history, with no advisories at all since 2005, it is now offered from a deceased estate. Said to be in exceptional ‘time-warp’ condition, upon inspection the engine started easily and ran quietly with no noticeable noises from the gearbox, steering or brakes.

Appearing in the attractive combination of Havana Brown with a Light Tan leather interior, this smart 250 SE is one of relatively few originally produced in right-hand drive form for the British and Irish markets and was supplied new by Isaac Agnew Ltd. of Belfast. It has had nine known keepers over the course of its life, and the vendor has cared for it since 2018. Previous owners also appear to have taken good care of the car, and in 2015 it was treated to a new exhaust system.
The Mercedes has really benefitted greatly from the present ownership, though, and work completed and new parts fitted since 2018 include a gearbox overhaul, two new shock absorbers, fresh ignition equipment, new injectors and new front and rear springs, the vendor’s expenditure coming to some £5,000 on parts and specialist services. As one would expect, the documents file has been well-kept and a large collection of invoices and MOTs testifies to the continuous attention it has received. Also present are the V5C, a workshop manual, an original owner’s manual and period sales literature. Mercedes of this era are famed for being well-engineered and dependable, so this should be an ideal example of a classic which can happily be pressed into regular use.

The car displays a very credible c.51,000 miles on the odometer and was originally supplied by Drabble & Allen of Stockport to Anderson Tobacco Ltd, presumably as a director’s car. Finished in Flamenco red with cream interior and walnut trim, the headlining has not sagged at all but the rest of the interior would benefit from a good clean. Externally, the boot lid has some peeling of the lacquer and there are a couple of age related marks on the bodywork, a few scuffs to the front bumper and the rear offside wheel arch has some corrosion evident. Nevertheless, the overall presentation is appealing and it started first time upon inspection, ran and idled well with no warning lights and no squeaks from the power steering or brakes. In regular usage until 2023 when sadly the vendor’s late husband passed away, it is currently awaiting an MOT and is offered with a book pack and V5C.

With only 3 former keepers and registering some 110,000 miles, we are advised it is accompanied by a comprehensive service history, Swansea V5c and 2 keys.
When it came to replacing the classic 900, Saab’s paymasters General Motors were looking for a lightly restyled Vectra. Typically, they didn’t get it. The NG900, later renamed 9-3, so comprehensively departed from its GM underpinnings that little was left. That was good news for buyers, who got a typically innovative and well-engineered car with an ultra-reliable 2-litre turbocharged Saab engine. Enthusiasts are now returning to these 9-3s for precisely these qualities, with three or five-door hatchbacks or a two-door Convertible having been available. The SE boasts a sportier look with a front chin spoiler, flared rocker panels, a new rear valence, body-coloured mirrors and a sports steering wheel, and with 250bhp, offering 0-60mph in 7.3 seconds and 143mph.

At launch, the Malcolm Sayer-penned E-Type was the fastest production car of its time – its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of c.150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar’s immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. Less noticeable was its enlarged front air intake which in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the newcomer better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp/283lbft, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, Fixed-Head two-seater and Fixed-Head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the bulk of Series II production, with the fixed-head two-seater being the rarest of the three variants.
Chassis number ‘1R20059’ is one of just 1,071 ‘home market’ Series II Fixed Head Coupes manufactured, having been registered new on the 10th of December 1968. A notably early Series II E-Type having been registered new just two months into production, the E-Type has the preferred manual transmission and is finished in White paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery. In previous ownership from 1988 until 2001, during this period, the E-Type is understood to have been supplied with a full restoration. Acquired by the vendor as a restored example in 2001, it has been retained by him ever since. Benefitting from a full engine overhaul shortly after the vendor’s purchase, at some 55,800 recorded miles, the E-Type has only subsequently completed a further 4,000 miles over the following twentyfour years!
Serviced and MOT tested annually throughout the vendor’s ownership, the E-Type has seen excursions on JEC events including the Silverstone E-Type Anniversary event. More recently receiving a new electronic ignition system in 2018 and improvements to the paintwork in 2020, ‘LNF 804G’ has received a service and new battery in April 2025 in preparation for the sale, as well as receiving an MOT until April 2026. Offered with a collection of invoices and previous MOT certificates, the E-Type is on offer for just the second time in nearly four decades to the market. UK-supplied, manual gearbox examples are highly desirable E-Types and with this Series II Fixed Head Coupe being both of these things, is certainly one to consider. The DVLA has the chassis number incorrectly registered with them as (1R20559), one digit incorrect.

Carrying sumptuous three-position cabriolet bodywork by Hooper, chassis GRJ51 was originally owned by Sir George August Sutton, Bt. (1869-1947), who in 1927 became managing director of Associated Newspapers Ltd. and kept addresses at Northcliffe House, London EC, and Oxford Lodge, Wimbledon Common. In 1930, the Rolls-Royce passed to Miss Lilian Davies of Lincoln’s Inn Fields. Its later history is unknown until it was reimported from Maine by the Real Car Co. in 2005. It was bought by the late owner, a respected Rolls-Royce collector, in 2006.
The owner enjoyed the 20hp on Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club rallies, while spending generously on maintenance. In 2008, new Firestone tyres were bought and a new exhaust manifold was fitted, with repairs made to the silencer. Following the purchase of an overdrive kit in 2016, Fiennes Restoration performed mechanical work totalling around £6000. The speedometer was repaired in 2019 and regular services were completed up to 2020.
Clearly the beneficiary of some older refurbishment, GRJ51 still presents beautifully. The all-weather body includes occasional seats and lots of neat fittings. Sold with a large history file including copies of the Rolls-Royce build sheets, numerous invoices, old MOTs and copy of the 20hp owner’s handbook, GRJ51 may require light recommissioning but is otherwise an enviable specimen of a vintage Rolls-Royce.

Introduced for the 1995 model year, the ‘new’ Bentley Turbo R was little changed outwardly, however, its turbocharged 6,750cc V8 engine employed a more sophisticated Zytek EMS3 management system. Developing 385bhp and 553lbft of torque, the unit was somewhat tamed by the adoption of ETAS (Electronic Traction Assistance System) in 1996. Available from autumn 1997 onwards, the 1998 model-year RT borrowed various mechanical features from its Continental T sibling and could thus boast 400bhp and a maximum torque of 590 lb-ft. Visually distinguished by a mesh grille and mesh inserts to its colour-coded bumpers, the turbocharged Bentley could accelerate from 0-60mph in six seconds and attain 155mph flat out. The RT models were fitted with an active ride suspension system, ‘easy-entry’ tilt steering wheel, and galvanised zinc coating to the underside.
1 of only 252 Turbo RTs manufactured during the 1997-1998 production run this example was supplied new by Wyndham of Cardiff and is finished in Wildberry Mica with Sandstone hide. Originally it was the property of Ian Maxwell (son of tycoon Robert), who retained it until 1999. Passing through a couple of short-term owners it was then acquired by Paul Zetter of Zetter football pools fame before changing hands again and being purchased by the vendor in 2014. Boasting a full Bentley service history to 2011 it has been maintained in current ownership by RR&B Garages of Hanbury and is offered with a collection of invoices totalling over £60,000 of expenditure in the vendor’s hands.. Registering some 83,000 miles and with a current MoT to August 2025, this fine Bentley is offered with a very large collection of invoices covering the works carried out, thus the history file is worthy of close inspection.

This handsome and well-crafted two-seat Special, very reminiscent of the legendary 9hp Imp, is based on a 1935 12/4 Falcon Saloon and was reportedly fitted with a new chassis at some point and fully restored in 2009 by a long-term Riley enthusiast. Finished in black with red leather, it is VSCC registered and accompanied by its Eligibility Document issued in July 2014. The twin-cam 1496 cc 4-cylinder engine has overhead valves operated by pushrods and hemispherical combustion chambers and is coupled to a 4-speed epicyclic pre-selector gearbox with column change and no clutch. Thus fast and seamless gear changes are possible in keeping with the car’s sporting credentials. In regular use up until 2019, sadly the owner’s ill health forced the car to remain garage-bound. Nevertheless, it is said to “run well” and comes with a collection of invoices, Swansea V5c document and various hand written notes.
Along with MGs perhaps, pre-war Riley sports-cars epitomised the vintage performance motor car era. Even today, when asked to name a typical 1930s sporting marque, the chances are fairly high that Riley will be at or very near the top of the knowledgeable enthusiast’s shopping list. For both MG and Riley excelled on the race track as well as in rallies, hillclimbs and on sporting trials.

This elegant three-position TA 21 Drophead Coupe with coachwork by Tickford was first registered on 14 December 1951. One of only 302 examples built, with some 80 surviving, little is known of its early history although it comes with a comprehensive history file including 38 old MoTs dating back to 1975 whilst the vendor advises it has been meticulously maintained. Finished in grey over silver with maroon leather upholstery and dark blue mohair hood, known works carried out include the fitment of new rear springs, higher ratio rear axle, wire wheels and front disc brakes in 2005/6. The engine was fully overhauled in 2009/10, with new pistons, crankshaft re-grind, new bearings, new valves, springs etc. A new mohair hood was fitted in 2014. A collection of invoices from Fisher Restoration and Red Triangle in 2014/15 evidence new sills, new A-and B-post sections, repairs to the wooden frame and wings and repair work to the brakes at a cost of around £11,000. Fisher also carried out work to the suspension in 2015 at a cost of over £2,300. Since acquiring the car in 2019, the vendor has installed electronic ignition, rebuilt the steering idler box at a cost of over £3,000 (2020), fitted new front shock absorbers and bushes (2021), new fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator, new rear tyres and replaced the rear indicator lights (2022). The Connolly leather upholstery was cleaned and refurbished in 2022.
The car is driven frequently on local runs and to regional car shows and is said to be a very reliable performer. Two classic car show competitions have been entered by the vendor, with two first prizes - one being a concours competition for pre-1970 cars. Offered with large history file, it registers some 86,514 miles and comes with a current advisory-free MoT to October 2025 and sundry spares.

The red leather interior presents fabulously and is complemented by beautiful polished wooden veneers to the dashboard, door cappings and rear picnic shelves. It is said to drive ‘superbly’ with a smooth 3.4-litre engine and desirable 4-speed manual overdrive gearbox (the original non-overdrive unit is included with the car). Worthy of close inspection, KON 17F boasts an envious concours history and is offered with a large file of documentation and paperwork including its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate and a current Swansea V5C.
For many, the definitive Jaguar sports Saloon, the MkII was unveiled to the public at the Earls Court Motor Show, London on 21 October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque’s first monocoque bodyshell design which was to set the tone for the coming decade. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its ‘MKI’ forebear with a wider track to improve handling characteristics, the immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well-located live leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle, servo-assisted four wheel 12-inch disc brakes and recirculating ball steering, the model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar’s race-proved and five times Le Mans winning, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine.
The model was quick to dominate contemporary Saloon car racing in the early 1960s in the hands of such luminaries as Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and John Coombs whose team Coombs Of Guildford achieved notable success. Coombs went on to offer a limited run of racing-inspired modified cars for the road, examples which remain highly collectible to this day. The battles with Minis and Galaxies have become the stuff of legend and are still taking place today in historic events. Even the 3.4 as seen here developed an impressive 210 brake horsepower. Blessed with one of the all-time great automotive
interiors, quintessentially British in nature, its stylish and comprehensive instrumentation, impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches, rich wood veneers and sumptuous leather upholstery all conspired to cosset and cocoon driver and passengers alike.
The attention to detail and build quality of the MKII were remarkable for the price being asked (just £1,779 0s 10p including taxes even for the 3.8) - these cars punched above their weight and it is perhaps small wonder the model quickly became the premier choice of both bank robbers and the police of the period! It was also extremely popular with the public, outselling its smaller-engined siblings, with 30,141 being produced between 1959 and 1967. With no direct replacement to this luxury mid-size sports saloon offered by Jaguar following the end of production, it is not surprising it has become an icon with cherished examples being highly sought after by collectors Worldwide.

Introduced at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, BMW’s second generation Z4 (codenamed E89) was styled by Juliane Blasi and Nadya Arnaout. Winner of numerous plaudits including that year’s Internation Design Excellence Award, the two-seater transformed from Coupe to Convertible at the touch of a button. Debuting in 2011, the sDrive20i model boasted a turbocharged 2-litre engine rated at 181bhp/199lbft. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds, 142mph and 41.5mpg, it came with such niceties as air-conditioning, leather seats, Bluetooth and a USB connector as standard. Comparing the sDrive20i to its Porsche Boxster, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Audi TT opposition, EVO magazine concluded that: ‘the BMW offers up the best balance of style, fun and efficiency’.
Supplied new to Northern Ireland, chassis WBALL32090J222269 was specified with Alpine White paintwork, Anthracite Black leather upholstery, BMW Professional Sound System, 17-inch alloy wheels, reverse parking sensors, Xenon headlights, on board computer, brushed silver Interior accents and traction control etc. Warranted to have covered just 33,000 miles, ‘OGZ 6931’ is summed-up by the seller as ‘a lovely, very clean car’. However, he notes that while the Z4 starts and runs its engine requires an overhaul and / or replacement. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and two keys.

Manufactured on the 15th of July 1976, and supplied new by dealers Goldblatt & Webb, this Eclat was finished from the factory in Lemon Yellow (one of just 32 Yellow UK S1 Eclat’s), with Sable cloth upholstery. Thereafter sold by a dealer in 1979, (at 34,836 miles), the Lotus was laid up in a garage approximately a year later. Unearthed by the previous keeper as a garage find in 2002, the vendor acquired it in 2005, still in garage find condition. Subject to a comprehensive 3 year restoration, it incorporated many upgrades, including a totally overhauled later 912 engine (1987) to 8.5:1 with GT3 pistons by Phil Davison, Rotrex supercharger with intercooler, ported and gas flowed head, and bespoke exhaust and manifold, the engine is producing some 290bhp. Further enhanced with a galvanized chassis, power steering, electric pop-up head lights, limited slip differential, five-speed gearbox, fuel injection, engine oil cooler, upgraded cooling, front brakes with 4-pot calipers, adjustable shocks all round, polybushing all round, alarm and immobilizer, and central locking on both doors. In current ownership for twenty years, the Lotus has covered 14,000 miles during this time, bringing its total mileage to just 58,000 miles. Rated as ‘excellent’ by the vendor (bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, electricals, and interior trim), the Lotus is accompanied to sale by the apt registration number, and a collection of MOT certificates, invoices, previous sales invoices, and Lotus Certificate of Vehicle Provenance.

Successor to the Volkswagen Beetle soft-top, the Golf Mk1 Cabriolet was introduced at the 1979 Geneva Salon and remained in production until July 1993. Engineered and built by Karmann of Osnabruck, the newcomer was every bit as stylish as its Giorgetto Guigiaro-penned hatchback sibling. Suitably reinforced thanks to a substantial rollover hoop, trans-dashboard ‘knee bar’ and strengthened sills etc, it also featured a snugfitting and well-insulated hood. Initially available in GL / GLS and GLi guises, the ultimate GTi variant arrived during 1983. Powered by a fuel-injected 1781cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9.4 seconds and 110mph. 1980s icons to rival the Audi ur Quattro, the VW Golf Mk1 GTi hatchback and cabriolet have long achieved cult status.
A notably early Golf Mk1 GTi Cabriolet, ‘A429 UOF’ was acquired by its last registered keeper in 1994. Recently disinterred following twenty years’ dry storage, the four-seater appears to be substantially complete but will require recommissioning / restoration. A worthwhile project which will hopefully result in a fun, practical and increasingly collectible ‘Vee-Dub’.

This B GT was supplied new through Rocar (Rotherham) Ltd. to C. & P. Bygraves Ltd. of SW4 in Brooklands Green, featuring Orange and Brown trim, Rostyle wheels, and overdrive. Since then, the bulky rubber bumpers have been sacrificed in favour of a chrome bumper and grille conversion, and the interior has been upgraded to a luxurious combination of cream leather with a walnut dash. A great amount of care and attention has been lavished on the car since it was bought by an enthusiast in 2007 as a restoration project. A major overhaul was effected which included fitting a replacement engine and new sills, repainting the body, replacing certain interior fittings, and thoroughly renovating the brakes, steering and suspension.
The MG has been lightly used since the work was completed in 2009. The vendor has owned it since 2021 and used it primarily for weekend outings and car shows. A large collection of invoices reveals over £14,000 has been spent since 2007, with recent work including the fitment of parabolic rear springs in 2022 and some light rewiring. A new stainless-steel exhaust was lately created for quieter driving. In addition to the various invoices and the BMIHT certificate, the MG is also offered with the current V5, photographs of the overhaul, and MOT certificates dating back to 2009.

Used in ITV’s long-running soap Coronation Street (2012) as the wedding car for ‘Rita’s’ marriage to ‘Dennis Tanner’ in Episode 7883, and in Horrid Henry: The Movie (2011), DOV 7C is also believed to have been used at events by renowned opera singer Katherine Jenkins. The first owner is believed to have been Lady Bird of Bird’s custard fame. With just three previous owners the car was in long term ownership from 1975 until 2022 during which time it was converted from Saloon to Convertible coachwork. There are few details as to who carried out the conversion or when, however, it was evidently done to a high standard and with attention to detail, such as the ingenious removable ‘B’ pillars for when the hood is in the lowered position. Finished in Caribbean Blue over Georgian Silver, having been resprayed from its original Astral Blue over Shell Grey, it features handpainted coachlines along the flanks and around the hub caps and has recently benefited from Turquoise carpets and a new soft-top in 2024. The wood has been re-polished and the blue leather re-connollised within the last few years. We understand the car will be comprehensively serviced prior to sale, including brake fluid, engine oil, diff oil, new brake pads, plugs, coil and belts and a gearbox service, whilst it would benefit from cosmetic attention and refreshing in certain areas.
By 1955, Rolls-Royce felt increasingly less need to visually differentiate its own models from the Bentley-badged ones. The Bentley S1 that replaced the R-Type model was therefore basically a Silver Cloud I behind the distinctive ‘Flying B’ radiator grille. It was the last Bentley powered by the company’s venerable 150bhp 4.9-litre straight-six engine. The newcomer retained a separate chassis and body, facilitating the manufacture of specialbodied versions. Even so, the vast majority were delivered with the standard steel one. Suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and by live axle and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted drums all-round. Greatly improved performance arrived with Bentley’s S2 model of 1959, when the faithful straight-six engine was supplanted by a new 6.2-litre aluminium V8. The S3, introduced in 1962, featured a lower bonnet line, different grille and quad headlamps. Interior modifications included individual seats for the front occupants and increased legroom for rear passengers. Engine power was raised by some seven percent. A total of some 1,630 were produced between 1962 and 1966.

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 sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. “The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear without even a gearchange to interrupt one’s headlong dash into the distance” (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space and in conjunction with wider front / rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior. Only 1,872 right-hand drive E-type V12 Roadsters are thought to have been made.
Chassis 1S2298 was manufactured in 1973, being despatched to distributors Fletchers of Swansea through whom it was supplied new to the first owners M/S Country Tyre Services of Bedminster. Finished from the factory in the attractive colour combination of Primrose Yellow paintwork with a special order Dark Blue leather interior upholstery and Black hood, the E-Type was specified from the factory with the desirable manual transmission and wire wheels. Purchased into the previous long-term ownership in 1985, shortly after the acquisition (in 1989), the owner entrusted the Jaguar to restoration specialists Southern Classics of Cheshire to embark upon a full comprehensive restoration with a focus on retaining as much originality as possible and keeping the car to original specification. The restoration invoices on file confirm a total expense of some £17,500; the equivalent of some £55,500 with inflation today and likely massively beyond if completed at today’s labour rates!
Following the completion of the restoration, the E-Type was a regular attendee of Concours d’Elegance events with the Jaguar Drivers Club, being awarded 1st Class awards in E-Type Classes at the 1990, 1993, and 1996 events, as well as a 2nd Class in 2000. Retained by the restorer and family until 2019, when purchased into The Loch Lomond Collection via Aston Martin specialist dealer Nicholas Mee for £125,000; the
Loch Lomond Collection is one made up of fully restored examples of predominantly 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s classics. Used sparingly since the completion of the restoration at c.60,000 miles, just c.4,500 post-restoration miles having been covered in the following thirty-six years! Benefiting from attention to the brakes, engine tuning, re-chroming, and servicing since 2010, the E-Type has only completed very local excursions while in the collection and therefore a degree of recommissioning might be required before pressing into road use.
Offered with two ring-binder folders of paperwork, the extensive history file contains the JDHT Heritage Certificate, the previous Concours certificates, MOT certificates dating back to 1979 (at 53,859 miles) which support the mileage of 64,300 miles as being genuine, vast quantities of invoices dating back to 1981, sales literature and a copy of the service handbook, previous valuation certificates, and a current V5C document which shows just four former keepers. Pleasingly, this home market, manual V12 Roadster also boasts matching chassis, engine and gearbox numbers.

Showing just 78,000 miles from new, this S 280 is offered for sale as a highly original, well-preserved and eminently useable example of an increasingly desirable “Youngtimer” Mercedes. Finished in its attractive original colours of Brilliant Silver with a Black leather interior, it has had only six former keepers, most of whom appear to have used it only sparingly. It has, however, been in near-continuous use, being MOTed most years with an enviable record of first-time passes and minimal advisories. Indeed, it has been tested annually since 2022 with no advisories at all, and the present MOT remains valid until 2nd September.
At 30 years old, the S 280 appears with a few cosmetic signs of age and pleasantly patinated leather and wood trim. Many further miles are surely to be expected, as Mercedes of that era have a reputation for being “bombproof” and are frequently heard to have clocked up 300,000 miles or more before they require any major attention. The facia is something of a time-warp, being well-stocked with features which by 1990s standards were the height of luxury, including an original Sony radio-cassette player. Complete with the V5C, this appears as a characterful modern classic that is still ideal for regular use.

Introduced at the September 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, the R230-series of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running SL range remained in production for ten years. Arguably the most accomplished two-seater Grand Tourer of its generation, the newcomer offered a blend of performance, ride, handling and refinement that few, if any, rivals could match. It continued the evolution of the outgoing R129 model with a smoother body design, a new peanut-shaped headlamp design and featured a ‘Vario Roof’ retractable hardtop. In 2006, the range received a minor cosmetic update and revised engine options. The SL 350 boasted a 0-60mph time of 7.2 secs and top-speed of 155mph from the 3724cc V6 (241bhp/258lbft) engine. Its replacement, the aluminium-bodied R231, was launched in 2011.
This smart looking SL350 has covered just 23,700 miles from new in the hands of 3 former keepers and is offered with a full book pack and service book with 10 entries. The last service was carried out at 23,548 miles and 2 keys accompany the sale.

Introduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s much-loved, forward-control Type 2 was immediately recognisable by its single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which facilitated an increase in ride height and improved handling. Facelifted in 1972, the Volkswagen gained more visible and higher-set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary American passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).
In current ownership for 25 years where it has been garaged when not in use this Type 2 was subject to a full body restoration in 2010 with attention to floors, sills & outriggers. It also benefits from an engine and clutch overhaul in 2015 by legendary VW engine builder John Gurney and is said to “pull like a train” and has seen little use since. Sitting on reproduction Porsche ‘gas burner’ wheels and fitted with a tow bar, there is also wiring in place for a leisure battery although a new one will be needed prior to a new owner making the most out of the twilight summer months. With numerous tired examples on the market SOP 834S is a welcome change.

The 1998 purchase of Rolls-Royce by Volkswagen may have raised eyebrows but it secured the future of both Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The licensing and production agreement between Volkswagen and BMW ended in 2003 and Rolls-Royce production moved to the new BMW-owned Goodwood factory, launching the V12-powered Phantom whilst Volkswagen spearheaded Bentley’s new chapter, one of the most significant brand relaunches in living memory. Only one new Rolls-Royce model was produced under Volkswagen ownership, the Corniche V, and the last Rolls so named.
Launched in 2000 with a list price at of £300,000, the most expensive car then offered by Rolls-Royce, the Corniche V has many unique distinctions, not least being the last V8 powered Rolls-Royce, with the 6.75-litre engine enhanced by a turbocharger borrowed from Bentley. Whilst sharing design elements with the Silver Seraph it was based on the Bentley Azure’s platform. The Corniche V remains one of the rarest models produced by Rolls-Royce, out of 329 cars hand-built at Crewe, just 38 were right-hand drive. Interior refinement and build quality remained as high as ever with copious amounts of leather and the finest wooden veneers.
This particular Corniche, UK-Supplied, is one of just 38 right hand drive cars produced. Specified in arguably the best combination for these cars: Fountain Blue Metallic with contrasting Oatmeal leather interior with Blue piping, the car features numerous factory options including a gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy, RR-embroidered head restraints, lambswool over-rugs, Wilton carpeting, matching umbrellas concealed in the boot lid, and a factory-fitted centre-console mobile phone.
‘X163 NKP’ was purchased by its previous keeper in 2008, when it had covered a recorded 62,000 miles. Over the following 14 years, it saw limited but cherished use, reportedly attending events including Le Mans and continental touring trips to Spain and France. It was affectionately named “Mary” by the owner, in honour of a late family member.
Acquired by the current keeper in July 2022, the Corniche was in need of recommissioning and was initially returned to roadworthy condition by a local garage. In 2023, the car was entrusted to Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Prestige Services as well as a highly respected local bodyshop to bring the car up to standard.
In June 2023, the car received a comprehensive service, the interior lighting switches were checked and fettled along with the air conditioning switches. The centre console and air
conditioning panels were removed and the wiring harness removed to repair the relevant switches, bulbs etc. Following this, the hood faults were investigated and rectified, along with further fettling. The total cost of this work amounted to £2,449.69.
Having been in the workshop and seldom used, this Corniche returned to Prestige Services in April 2025. Works included a replacement alternator, a brake system overhaul, and additional attention to interior electronics, totalling £2,314.53. Recently the hood mechanism has also been treated to a thorough overhaul costing c.£5,000.
Now with a useable 79,729 miles on the odometer at the time of consignment and offered for sale only to fund other projects within the current owner’s private collection, this Corniche V has been sparingly used and well cared for, benefitting from recent specialist investment totalling nearly £5,000. Accompanying the car is a fully stamped service book, a large history file including past MoTs, tax discs and invoices, a digital workshop manual, and a certificate for the RAC Track Star tracking system installed in 2005. The car comes with an MOT valid until 11 May 2026 with no advisories. Increasingly rare and widely regarded as the last of the true Crewe-built Rolls-Royces, this Corniche V represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a properly sorted example of a modern classic whose significance continues to grow.

The Z3M Coupé, manufactured from 1998 until 2002, was developed under the leadership of engineer Burkhard Göschel with the intention of adding increased torsional and structural rigidity to the Z3 roadster’s chassis. To help achieve this, the majority of the body panels needed to be shared with the M Roadster, thus the doors and everything from the A-pillar forward are interchangeable between the Coupé and Roadster, as are most of the interior parts.
Not only is this Z3M Coupé an extremely rare motor car – one of just 821 produced in RHD with the desirable S50 engine – but it is also a truly extraordinary survivor which might quite reasonably be described as nearly-new. It has, after all, covered no more than 660 miles over the entirety of its 26-year-life, and therefore appears in an outstanding state of originality and preservation. It has had only four owners from new and has obviously been well-appreciated and looked after by all of them, with the first two owners being members of the same family.
Appropriately and attractively presented in German racing silver – or Arctic Silver, to give it its official factory name – with a Black interior, this superb rarity was originally sold through Blue Bell BMW of Crewe, Cheshire, complete with genuine AC Schnitzer pedals and other desirable factory-fitted features, including 17in five-spoke alloy wheels, power windows and mirrors, heated seats, air conditioning, a BMW Business radio-CD player and a Harman Kardon sound system. It was evidently cherished as a collector’s piece from very early in its life, as it has spent most of the last 20 years preserved in aspic, with only intermittent use on the roads. Over half its present mileage was completed within the first two years of its life.
Since 2006, it has been submitted for only three MOT tests – in 2016 at 544 miles, 2018 at 618 miles, and 2021 at 646 miles. Needless to say, it passed each test with no advisories. Having not been on the road since August, 2022, the odometer showed just 659 miles when we inspected the car a few weeks ago. The service history is similarly impressive, with three stamps in the service book after the initial pre-delivery inspection. The first services, in 2001 at 496 miles and 2015 at 525 miles, were undertaken by Blue Bell BMW, and the 2021 service at 647 miles was performed at Templetons Garage in Rushden.
As presented here, the Z3M is complete with its original book pack, including the owner’s manual and service book, an original sales brochure, a memo from the first owner to Blue Bell BMW, a large collection of MOTs, two keys and the original toolkit and first-aid kit.
Considering it has received such little use over its life, it is no surprise at all that this car has been described as “excellent” in all mechanical and cosmetic areas. We are advised of only the most minor signs of age, including a stone chip on the passenger sill, “slight wear on the driver’s seat bolster, discolouration of the passenger window and a small mark next to the radio,” but we hardly think they detract from what is one of the best, rarest and most original 26-year-old BMWs in existence.
Cars of this vintage and calibre are increasingly coming to be appreciated as “Youngtimers”, and are being welcomed into some of the most prestigious motoring events – notably, a very similar Z3M Coupé was a star of the Youngtimers class at this year’s London Concours, where it competed for Best in Show alongside such machinery as Ferraris, Mercedes-Benz 300SLs, and a host of high-end classics and supercars. In its present condition, we believe ‘T235 KAP’ has the potential to be a concours star, especially if judged on the merits of its originality, on which grounds it may possibly be unsurpassed.

First registered as ‘XTC 3’ in November 1955 and in current ownership since 2010, this 541 has been subjected to a comprehensive amount of expenditure in the vendor’s tenure. Now registered 832 HFM, it comes with a large history file which includes a breakdown of costs incurred to the tune of some £17,848 between August 2010 and September 2022 with noted specialists including Richard Appleyard, Four Ashes and Rejen. This includes new wheels and tyres at a cost of £2700 exc. VAT on 9 August 2022 supplied by MR Autoservices Midlands Ltd. Finished in maroon with cream seats and red carpet, it currently displays a credible 68,300 miles and is also accompanied by an old-style green logbook and expired MoT certificates dating back to the 1980s.
Like its contemporary Interceptor, Jensen’s 541 flowed from the pen of Eric Neale, and first saw the light of day at the 1953 London Motor Show, with production commencing the following year. It was the first Jensen to feature a predominantly glass reinforced plastic body, the entire front section of which hinged upwards in order to give optimum access to the engine compartment. The material was chosen to overcome the relative post-war shortage of steel, and provide an economical solution to the problem of manufacturing a complex design in small numbers. There was also the benefit of a reduction in weight and, with the contribution of alloy-skinned doors and Perspex rear windows, the newcomer’s overall dry weight was 2,690 lb versus the Interceptor’s 3,020. Interestingly, not only was the body impressively light, but aerodynamic too - the drag coefficient of 0.39 being notably low for a large car of the period concerned. So to another first - in Deluxe specification, the 541 was also the first British four-seater car to be equipped with Dunlop disc brakes all round.

Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model or range of models since 1954, when the landmark 300SL was unveiled. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. The second generation SL (W113) began with the 230 of 1963. It was distinguished by its lower waistline, big curved screens and a distinctive optional hardtop that earned it the nickname of ‘pagoda top’. The larger, third generation model (R107) was launched in 1971. The newcomer featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension all round. Over its very successful 19 year production span the R107 featured no less than two straight-six engines and six V8 units. The 420 SL variant is understood to be the rarest of all the 237,287 R107 SLs made, with just 2,148 leaving the factory between 1985 and 1989. Its 4.2-litre V8 produced some 215bhp at 5200rpm - sufficient output to endow the big Benz with effortless acceleration and a top speed of 130mph, while remaining more economical than its bigger-engined siblings.
‘F755 EBW’ is one of the rare right-hand drive 420SLs and was supplied new to Great Britain. It was manufactured in 1988 and is finished in Artic white paintwork. In the current ownership since 2011 with just 4 former keepers recorded, it has only had two owners in the past 23 years, The car comes complete with both soft and hard tops, polished finish alloy wheels, stamped service book, owner’s manual, first aid kit, extensive history file including old tax discs and expired MoT certificates, and a current MoT to July 2026.

Perhaps underrated, but quietly influential compared to its forbears, the R33 incarnation of the GT-R is still a pure sports car experience, but aided by some of the most revolutionary handling technology to influence modern performance driving. Introduced for the 1996 model year (late 1995 in Europe), the Nissan Skyline GT-R was a high-performance variant of the R33 Skyline. The R33 GT-R succeeded the R32 GT-R (known as Godzilla, which had beaten all comers in Group A Touring Cars before a rule change left them out of contention), and featured a lightly updated version of it’s predecessor’s RB26DETT engine. Fed by two parallel ceramic turbochargers, dual mass airflow sensors, and six throttle bodies, this was officially rated at 276 bhp but most likely this is on the conservative side! This twin-turbo inline six engine was paired to a 5 speed manual transmission coupled to four wheel drive. In addition to all wheel drive, the R33 Skyline featured Nissan’s HICAS four wheel steering system. While most R33 GT-Rs were bodied as coupes, a limited 416 saloon versions were commissioned by Nissan and built by Autech to celebrate the Skyline’s 40th Anniversary in 1997. Notable variants included the V-Spec, V-Spec N1, LM Limited, V-Spec LM Limited, and 400R. The R33 GT-R was built until 1998, when it was replaced by the new generation R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R. At the end of production, a total of 16,668 examples had been built. With the model’s appeal amongst the ‘PlayStation Generation’ of car enthusiasts they have become highly collectible along with their predecessors and successors and as a consequence values are rising accordingly.
This 1995 GT-R is powered by a 2.8-litre twin-turbocharged HKS ‘high deck’ straightsix, capable of producing up to 1100bhp, driving all four wheels via the desirable fivespeed manual transmission. Inside, there is a half roll cage, Apex boost gauge, GReddy oil temperature and pressure gauges, an electronic valve control unit, as well as soughtafter HKS electronic torque split control and HKS ETC drag adapter units. The interior has grey synthetic suede accented by blue stitching and blue headrest inserts whilst the factory specification includes electrically adjustable mirrors, air conditioning, adjustable rear strut-brace, and a Bose sound system. Originally registered in Japan, this GT-R was subsequently imported to the UK and registered with the DVLA in February 2006. In the current long-term ownership for the past 19 years, the odometer displays a credible c.39,500 km. A rare and collectible Skyline finished in a striking colour, it is offered with a Swansea V5c.

Remarkably, this early 250bhp Griffith has been in single ownership from March, 1994. The first owner from December, 1992, was Mr. Booth of Booths supermarkets, and the vendor purchased it with 15,000 miles on it from Christopher Neal TVR of Northwich. It has now covered just 54,000 miles, with a few Le Mans trips along the way. It has been meticulously maintained, with regular servicing between 1995 and 2010, plus an additional service in 2019. Expenditure included a new hood in 2012 and a full respray in 2019. Additional work was undertaken by specialists in 2019, which involved a new battery, steering rack gaiters and fuel pipes. The exhaust was repaired, with new manifolds, and the chassis was Waxoyled. Work totalling £6300 was completed in 2023, including an overhaul of the suspension, plus new front and rear brake discs and pads.
The paperwork file includes the original owner’s handbook and service book, plus the V5C, the vendor’s sales invoice, assorted invoices and MOTs dating back to 1995. The Griffith is also sold with two sets of keys, a TVR car cover and Targa top bag, so it’s very much a complete package. The car ran beautifully when we saw it, and if we were looking for a thrilling car to take to Le Mans, this would surely be the one.

This striking Marlin was built in 1996/97 and first registered in 1998. Based on a Ford Sierra with 2100cc Pinto engine, it appears to have been assembled to a high standard and comes with an extensive history file. There are numerous receipts from Marlin Engineering and other specialist suppliers, 11 old MoTs, original sales brochures, original build instruction manuals and a Dyno chart showing increased power output due to tuning modifications. Bought by the now sadly deceased retired mechanical engineer late owner in 2013, it looks to have been used in European Rallies such as the Italia Sardinia Sportscar Challenge at some point. Last MoTd in June 2023 at c.30,000 miles, although run recently it has not seen much use since and comes with a spare windscreen, spare alloy wheel and current V5c. Offered at no reserve.
For over 30 years, Marlin has been synonymous with innovative design and affordable home-built sports cars. Conceived by ex-Rolls Royce engineer, Paul Moorhouse, the Roadster entered production in the late Seventies causing a sensation with its robust construction and driving dynamics. The nineties brought new engine and suspension options, and Marlin was one of the first to embrace these with the Ford Sierra based Cabrio being the result.

Finished in the handsome combination of Nautical Blue Metallic with Grey leather upholstery, chassis WDB1260452A530032 was built to right-hand drive specification complete with English language instrumentation and a MPH speedometer but supplied new to Cyprus in March 1990. UK road registered five months later and issued with a duplicate service book, the Mercedes-Benz has had odometer changes with the replacement showing some 92,000 miles. Generously specified as befitted its flagship coupe status, the 560 SEC pleasingly retains such niceties as a period looking Blaupunkt stereo, air-conditioning and headlamp wash / wipe etc.

We are informed the service book has some 20 stamps evidencing its service history whilst the impressive specification includes metallic paint, leather trim, electric tilt/slide sunroof, air-conditioning, Ford Quickclear screen, electric front windows and mirrors, alloy wheels and CD autochanger. Offered with 2 keys, handbook, assorted invoices, sundry old MoTs and Swansea V5c.
Launched in 1998, and intended to repeat the success of the smaller Puma in the mid-size coupe sector, the sporty Ford Cougar was available with either a four-cylinder or a V6 engine. Produced for four years, the 24 valve DOHC 2.5L Duratec V6 was the more desirable engine option, developing 167 bhp and offering a smoother driving experience and better performance than the 2.0L Zetec with 0-60 mph in around 8 seconds. Based on the lithe Mondeo chassis, the model was available with both five-speed manual and automatic transmissions. The Cougar was retired from the European market in August 2002, following its withdrawal from the UK market in February 2001.

An original right-hand drive car, this BN1 was exported new to Australia and subsequently sold to New Zealand. Specified with MPH speedometer and wire wheels, it is one of just 1,030 RHD examples built. Finished in its original shade of Carmine Red with black interior, the car is understood to have been subject to a comprehensive older restoration and comes with a photographic record. Imported to the UK in 2015, this attractive Healey has been with the vendor since 2017. With working overdrive, the car is offered with sundry hand written notes on maintenance, a large collection of invoices, BMIHT Certificate, 1960 New Zealand registration document, tonneau cover and weather equipment.
Donald Healey’s prototype two-seater sports car displayed at the 1952 London Motor Show was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals with a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. Dubbed the ‘Healey Hundred’ (chosen to reflect the car’s ability to reach the magic 100mph), there was a suitably encouraging response and Healey planned to produce it in-house at his Warwick factory. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype impress the public, but also Austin’s Managing Director, Leonard Lord, who struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The early examples (code-named BN1s) were equipped with the same 90bhp 2660cc engines and manual four-speed transmissions as the A90 though Austin modified the gearbox to operate as a three-speed unit with overdrive on the top two ratios. A 1953 BN1 tested by Motor magazine hit 106mph and achieved 0-60mph in 11.2 seconds. A total of 10,688 BN1s are believed to have been produced between 1953 and 1955 (the vast majority of which went overseas) with only c.1,030 believed to be in right-hand drive form before the model was superseded by the BN2.

Chassis No: TA1994
This rather special TA was imported from the USA in 1994 and subjected to a lengthy and comprehensive body and mechanical overhaul including many upgrades completed in 2016. The chassis was stripped and a new ash frame fitted which was then clothed in aluminium coachwork with aluminium wings. The engine displaces 1350cc and breathes through 1.5 in. SU carburettors and a four branch manifold. Larger exhaust valves and a hotter cam assist performance, whilst a 5-speed gearbox improves the driving experience along with a new clutch and Volkswagen steering box conversion. The forged differential and half-shafts inspire confidence in mechanical longevity with the car further benefiting from the fitment of Alfin brake drums and Spax rear shock absorbers. All wiring was renewed, an SU electric fuel pump fitted and an electric cooling fan. The instruments have been refurbished, headlights re-chromed, seats retrimmed and new carpets fitted along with a new hood and side screens. The original registration number ARD 513 has even been reassigned to the car. Now finished in green complementing the green interior and tan hood, wider Blockley tyres fitted to MWS wire wheels and a discreet side-exit exhaust hint at the modifications within and give the car a more purposeful air than usual. Offered with an extensive history file this one of a kind TA should ensure some memorable and exhilarating journeys lie ahead.
The first of the famous MG T-series line, the TA was introduced in 1936. Larger, faster and more comfortable than its PB predecessor, the newcomer was powered by an MPJG 1292cc OHV engine that developed some 50bhp at 4,800rpm. Allied to a four-speed manual transmission, it endowed the two-seater with a nigh-on 80mph top speed. Some 3,003 examples were built before production ceased in 1939.
Desirable ‘home market’ example
Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000*
Reg No: 745 HPX MOT: June 2026
Chassis No: 850617
A desirable ‘home market’ example, being registered new in January 1963 (manufactured 1962), the modern history of this outstanding E-type is known back to 1984, when it entered the long-term enthusiast ownership of Mr. David McLeod, and latterly his daughter. Mr. McLeod thoughtfully wrote a brief account of the car’s earlier life: “Our story of E-Type ‘745 HPX’ starts when around 1984 our gardener told of a red E-type which one of our mutual friends had for sale. On going to view the car at the premises of Norman Abram of Hannay, the waste paper merchants of East Kilbride, I was surprised to find that the car was in fact silver, and Maureen and I fell in love with it immediately. Norman told us that the car had been bought by his son from Straight Six in Edgware Road, London, and as far as he knew, had been rebuilt by a Greek gentleman in the shipping industry and had won many prizes. His son soon needed to sell the car and Norman had owned it for about a year but had scarcely driven it.”
When Mr. McLeod acquired it, he immediately presented it to XK Engineering in Nuneaton for a check-over, and after nothing more than a service, it was delivered back to Glasgow, with the gentleman from XK declaring it “one of the nicest-driving E-types he had ever driven.” It was then enjoyed very extensively in the ownership of the McLeods, including for tours of northern Scotland and the Lake District, and various outings with the Royal Scottish Automobile Club. On its first RSAC rally, it was entered into a concours at Ayr and was crowned the winner. When not in use, Mr. McLeod always kept the Jaguar in a dehumidified garage and serviced it at regular intervals, but he was never happier than when he was behind the wheel – “I can assure you,” he wrote, “I have not often been passed on the road!”
Circa 1990, Mr. McLeod opted to have the Jaguar’s engine overhauled and a five-speed gearbox installed – presumably the Borg-Warner T5 which remains in the car at present – before deciding to let his daughter take possession of it in 1992. Afterwards, it led something of a quieter existence before it was sold in 2005 to the great Jaguar enthusiast who has cared for it ever since, who also owns the superb 1967 E-type 4.2 Coupé ‘PHH 125E’ which is being offered separately in this sale. Following his acquisition, the Roadster started to become quite a well-known car, and was even in demand with media companies. It was used in the BBC television series Castles in the Country, and also starred in the November, 2012, issue of GQ magazine. In 2010, the E-type won another
concours d’élégance in the Argyll Classic Tour of the Trossachs, and in 2011 it had the honour of appearing in the 60th anniversary parade of E-Types at Silverstone.
Subsequently, it was presented to the highly-respected, Carlisle-based E-type specialist Stuart Oliver in the spring of 2013 to be substantially renovated and brought up to an even higher state of tune. This involved the engine being stripped and reassembled with a host of new parts. The crank was polished and fitted with Vandervell big-end and main bearings, +0.020in Malha pistons, new cam bearings and a new timing chain tensioner, while the cylinder head, engine block and flywheel were all refaced. Various upgraded ancillaries were fitted, including a high-torque starter motor, a 17 ACR alternator with a conversion to negative earth, a 123 electronic distributor and a two-inch, six-branch stainless-steel manifold and exhaust system. Other recent modifications include larger ventilated disc brakes with four-pot callipers, GAZ adjustable suspension units and sixinch competition wire wheels. Some recent work saw all the anti-roll bar and suspension bushes replaced.
Quite a vast amount of further maintenance has been completed since 2018, when the front seats were retrimmed and a new hood was made up in Black mohair for a total of £1,560. In July, 2021, the car received some extensive bodywork repairs alongside one of its regular services. The sills were repaired on both sides and repairs were also effected to some of the inner panels and a small area on the offside front of the bonnet. The lower part of the car was finished with a healthy coating of stone-chip and liquid metal sealant, with the whole underside being generously Waxoyled. The programme of works also included a repair to the choke mechanism, the replacement of various coolant hoses, and a thorough clean of the carburettors, suspension and engine compartment, bringing the work to a total cost of £2,510. The most recent major service was carried out in May, 2024, with additional works including the fitment of a new water pump and a new header tank, a carburettor rebuild with new floats and gaskets, installation of a new clutch slave cylinder, and adjustments to the driver’s door plus renewal of its rubber seals.
Further evidence of the vendor’s attentiveness to the car’s health can be seen in its extraordinary MOT record. The Jaguar has been tested every year in his ownership (except for 2020, when covid restrictions were in place), even after exemption was granted for historic vehicles. What is more, it is sailed through all those tests without ever picking up a single advisory, save for “slight play in the offside tie rod” in 2011. The records reveal that the Jaguar has covered around 13,000 miles in the vendor’s ownership (from 44,045 miles in May, 2006, to 56,920 miles at its latest test, which remains valid until 27th June, 2026.
Considering all the care and attention this car has received in the last 41 years, it is perhaps not surprising that it still presents so well, even though it is believed never to have undergone a full restoration. The paint appears in excellent order, the chrome is very good and the cockpit, having been refurbished not long ago, is a really beautiful
place in which to sit and enjoy the sensation of the growling straight-six propelling you along the King’s Highway. It even boasts a period radio. The boot has been kept nice and clean and a spare wheel in good condition is present under the floor, along with a hammer for the knock-off hub caps. With the engine and suspension having been given a thorough clean in 2021, they naturally present very well, although a light patina is in evidence, which just goes to show that this E-type has been used and enjoyed. It has proven itself on many occasions to be an excellent touring car, and, in our eyes, it remains so. From the north coast of Scotland to the southern tip of Italy, a long drive in this early E-type is surely motoring heaven.
As would be expected from a car which has been so meticulously maintained over more than 40 years, it is sold with a large history file containing the current V5C, numerous MOT certificates and invoices, period sales literature and an original operating, maintenance and service handbook. A black hood cover is also provided.

Remarkably, it has had only one owner for the entirety of its 15-year life, and he has looked after it extremely well. A longstanding Porsche enthusiast, he bought it from Porsche Centre Wilmslow in Cheshire, partexchanging his 2005 911 (997.1) coupé, and specified the 997.2 very well. Covering just 21,000 miles in the 911 and had it scrupulously serviced by Porsche Centre Wilmslow. Servicing was carried out in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022, as evidenced by the six stamps which appear in both the Maintenance Record and the Record of Brake Fluid Change. The Porsche has been MOTed every year without ever incurring a failure, and the fact that it still retains every single certificate gives some indication of just how meticulous the owner has been. The most recent MOT, issued with no advisories, is valid until 31st March, 2026.
Recent invoices give an indication of the owner’s willingness to maintain the Porsche in the best operational condition. In 2022, for example, it was treated to a set of new Pirelli P Zero tyres, for a cost of £938. A new battery was fitted in March, 2024, for a cost of £150, and in September, 2024, various works were performed for a total of £3777, including the installation of new rear brake lines, a new air-conditioning pipe and new suspension brace bars.
Breaking down production figures reveals that a total of only 2,992 997.2
Carrera 4s were produced from 2008 to 2012 (not including the more common 4S), of which 1,244 were Cabriolets. While there is, of course, always a choice of 911s on the market at any one time, we cannot imagine there are many 997s as well-preserved as this one. Also offered with its original sales invoice and order form, and pleasingly retains its original book pack, and the V5C showing zero former keepers. A lowmileage, original car like this is surely the stuff of dreams for any Porsche enthusiast or modern sports car collector, or discerning motorist who desires a well-kept, capable sports car to bring out on special occasions.

Introduced in 2020, the Pembleton T24 embodies the Bayton, Worcestershire-based firm’s ethos of ‘Performance, Simplicity and Quality’. A cyclecar for the modern era which doffs its cap to Morgan, GN, Amilcar and Frazer-Nash, the two-seater may look delightfully retro but features rack-and-pinion steering, independent suspension, disc brakes and 200 litres of luggage space. Powered by a fuel-injected Moto Guzzi 853cc V-Twin allied to four-speed manual transmission, Pembleton’s four-wheeler boasts a power to weight ratio of 218bhp per tonne and thus exhilarating performance. The lack of power assistance (be that hydraulic, electric or otherwise) gives an immediacy to the controls wholly lacking from today’s sportscars. As pure as ’wind in the hair’ motoring tends to get, the T24 is also beautifully assembled and detailed. Priced at £32,995 + VAT (£39,594) without options, the waiting list is currently understood to be over a year. Praised by the likes of Autocar, Top Gear and Hagerty not to mention The Late Brake Show and Jay Emm on Cars, Pembleton is glorious proof that the era of the independent British motor manufacturer has not yet passed.
First registered on September 1st 2021, chassis TPMCT24N0022020750 was acquired by its previous keeper, Charles Miller, the following month. Optioned with a Moto-Lita steering wheel, Red leather upholstery, Black fabric tonneau cover, additional floor level brace bar (aids entry and exit), USB sockets and twin Brooklands aero screens, the Pembleton is warranted to have covered 4,600 miles from new. Serviced at 1,036 and 2,677 miles and treated to new engine and gearbox oils at 3,890 miles, the T24 started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. As smart as its low mileage suggests, ‘BFZ 334’ represents a great opportunity to bypass Pembleton’s waiting list not to mention a substantial saving on its list price.

This means you’ll find a hugely effective Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheeldrive chassis, and a five-speed tiptronic ZF gearbox with Dynamic Shift Programme and Electronic Differential Locks. The suspension is lowered and stiffened, comprising a fully independent four-link set-up with double-wishbones at the rear. Braking is by Brembo eight-piston brake calipers with vented and cross-drilled discs on the front axle, and ATE calipers on the back, again with vented and cross-drilled discs. Anti-lock braking, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and Brake Assist is fitted as standard. The 4.2-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 develops a quoted 444bhp and 428lb/ft of torque, and a standard RS6 could streak to 62mph in 4.6 seconds and reach almost 170mph. Available as both a saloon and estate, it weighed just over 1,800kgs and was produced up until 2004. Finished in Grey complemented by a Black leather interior this RS6 displays some 100,700 recorded miles and has had 6 former keepers.

One of the very last Capri Lasers produced, this charming example fitted with a 1.6 litre engine has been proudly owned by the vendor since it was purchased new from Endeavour Motor Co Ltd of Brighton on the 27th February 1987. Finished in the rare colour scheme of Nimbus Grey, the original order form that accompanies the car shows that the owner cared enough to have the underside coated in Terotex from new at an additional cost of £165 which has certainly helped with its preservation.
Records on file evidence that the Capri has been very well cared for throughout its life, and there are invoices for its servicing going back several years and a stack of old MoT certificates recording numerous tests. In addition, the original guarantee is supplied along with several handbooks for the car and its audio system.
Today, the Ford presents very well indeed, and the vendor rates its condition as ‘very good’ overall. The vendor warrants the mileage of circa 64,000 miles and the condition of much of the trim adds to its credibility.

One of the best styling trends of the early 2000s was the vogue for iridescent paints. Originally popular in the modified car scene, they found favour with some production car-makers, most notably TVR, but they were also offered with MGs ordered through the Monogram Bespoke Build scheme, which gave buyers freedom to choose from a range of special paint and interior colours, interior fabrics and other bespoke options. We are very pleased to offer a rare surviving MG TF ordered new through the Monogram scheme in the Spectre Chromactive paint.
This car has had only four owners, with the vendor acquiring it in 2013, when it was fitted with a new grey hood. It appears now as an excellent low-mileage survivor which has benefitted extensively from recent maintenance, including a new ignition coil and leads, head gasket, timing belt, water pump, camshaft oil seals and two tyres in 2019, when the head was skimmed as well, new rear brake discs and pads in 2021, a new lambda sensor in 2023 and a radiator overhaul in 2024. Perhaps most impressively of all, it has covered fewer than 38,000 miles and is offered with an MOT with no advisories valid until May, 2026.

Elegantly finished in Diamond Blue with a Grey leather interior and Blue mohair power hood, this very well-preserved XJS was sold through Hatfields Jaguar of Sheffield, who maintained it until 2002. The original specification included lots of desirable features such as climate control, power windows, power mirrors, power seats, ABS, a trip computer, an adjustable steering column, remote central locking and a radio-CD player. With just six owners across its 32-year life, the present owner has been especially sympathetic, owning the car since 2008 but only covered around 5,000 miles across 17 years, with the present mileage just 66,000 miles from new. Benefitting from some minor bodywork repairs, plus a reconditioned steering rack in 2019 and a new alternator in 2021, the original leather interior presents beautifully, just showing an appropriate light patina. The history file is really remarkable, with the original service book showing 18 stamps, and more recent service invoices too. The service book, incidentally, is part of the ample book pack, which remains complete and attractively presented in its original leather wallet. The pack also includes the driver’s handbook, and the Parts and Service manual DVD. Few cars, even Jaguars, look as good as this one does at 32 years old. It is rare to find a car which has been looked after so well across so many years, so this XJS really is one for the discerning buyer, especially as a desirable facelift model.
Exhaustive restoration costing c.£185,000 by M&C Wilkinson

The 1950s saw Jaguar win the world’s greatest endurance race - the Le Mans 24-hours - more times (five) than any other manufacturer. A blend of existing and new technology, the XK150 was the Coventry firm’s last model to feature a separate chassis but its first to be available with four-wheel disc brakes. Unveiled in 1959, the range-topping 3.8 litre ‘S’ could be had in Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe or Drophead Coupe guises (the latter being the most expensive). With a quoted 265bhp and 260lbft of torque on tap thanks to its straight-port cylinder head and triple SU carburettors, Jaguar’s flagship sportscar could only be had with four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 141mph, its performance was on a par with rival Aston Martin, Maserati and Ferrari offerings. Decidedly rare, UK, right-hand drive XK150 ‘S’ 3.8 litre Fixed Head Coupe production amounted to just 150 cars.
Chassis number T825129DN was manufactured on the 8th of February 1960 and was dispatched from the factory on the 19th of the month to its first owner. Supplied new with the manual transmission with overdrive, and finished in Cotswold Blue paintwork with Dark Blue interior upholstery. The early history of the XK150 S is unfortunately not known, however, it is known to have latterly had a varied European excursion, having been in Italian ownership, followed by a German wine house owner, and before the vendor, a custodian in the Netherlands. Discovered by the vendor while on a search for the UKsupplied, right-hand drive XK150 S 3.8 to join his illustrious collection, T825129DN was found in Holland in a very sorry state. Effectively stripped and in bits for restoration, the car’s original country of supply was researched (with it still in right-hand drive guise) with the vendor finding the car to be a genuine ‘home market’ 3.8 XK150S.
Taking a chance having not seen the car, the vendor purchased the dilapidated Jaguar into the Loch Lomond Collection in 2016 for €38,500; the Loch Lomond Collection is made up of excellent examples of predominantly 1950s, 60s, and 70s classics. Thereafter having the XK150 S repatriated to the United Kingdom, he entrusted it to M&C Wilkinson (with the vendor having known Mike Wilkinson for a couple of decades) for renovation in 2016. The ensuing restoration was nothing short of absolutely exhaustive, with the extensive invoices on file totalling over £186,000. Every part of the car was completely restored to the highest quality by M&C, with no part of the XK150 S left untouched, and not refreshed, restored or replaced across the continued restoration which spanned from early 2016 until mid 2023.
Pleasingly finished in the original colour of Cotswold Blue paintwork with Dark Blue interior upholstery, the Jaguar has remarkably never been used on the road since the completion of the restoration and has remained a static exhibit within the collection ever since, and thus may require a degree of recommissioning.
Therefore unsurprisingly presenting fantastically upon inspection, the XK150S also is displaying matching chassis and engine numbers. Effectively fresh from restoration and having had mammoth expenditure, this example is surely appealing to anyone after a ‘best of breed’ XK150S to add to a collection or to press into road use. Offered with the aforementioned extensive invoices, Jaguar Heritage Certificate, correspondence with the previous owner, and current V5C document.

Originally registered ‘LEE 259’, this extremely rare righthand drive Type 2 ‘pre-Canterbury’ Peter Pitt conversion was purchased new in 1958 by the vendor’s father. Acquired for £900 (then the price of two Minis) it was used as a school contract hire taxi and Private Hire vehicle. Specified as RHD, with semaphores, high-level brake lights, straight-up gearlever etc., and built in the midst of the Hanover factory’s changeover to the updated 1959 model, it consequently featured new style cargo doors with a recess for the handles and new style slash cut bumpers. Mango Green and Seagull Grey was a brand-new 1958 colour option remaining as a colour choice until 1963. In the late 1960s the vendor learned to drive in the VW, enjoying holidays in Devon and Cornwall with trips to the Lake District and Scotland (including successful navigation of the Hardknott Pass, the steepest in the UK). By 1978, with 80,000 miles covered and needing mechanical work it was sold and replaced by a 1969 Devon two bay model. The new owner reconditioned the engine and used it for a few years before selling to the third owner. He planned a full restoration but following stripping of the interior it remained barn-stored for a decade. Discovered by its next keeper in 2019, it was finally treated to a thorough restoration following which it was purchased by our vendor - the original owner’s son.
Restored to original specification and colours with 6-volt electrics and new wiring harness, original gas light, original trim, seats, and door cards and now registered ‘USK 762’, there is even the original 2 burner hob. Unseen modifications include electronic ignition and flashing LED trafficator bulbs. Running standard ride height with 15” wheels, this possibly unique survivor in this colour scheme and specification would grace any collection.

It gives us great pleasure to offer this 1959 1600 Roadster, which has very recently emerged from a thorough overhaul and consequently appears in excellent order throughout. It is satisfyingly correct, too, being presented in its original finish. According to its BMIHT certificate, it was built between 30th September and 6th October, 1959, and was despatched to the USA as a LHD export model, in Iris Blue with a Black interior and a Blue hood. Disc wheels, windscreen washers and whitewall tyres were part of its original equipment.
It resurfaced in 2010, when it was purchased by the vendor from California Connection, the well-known Derbyshire classic car importers. It was then in need of extensive work, which the vendor commenced in 2020, with the superb result you see before you. The work reached completion only last year, since when the MG has covered a mere 250 miles.
No corners were cut and no expenses spared. The car was completely stripped and acid-dipped, the chassis was renovated and the body was sent to a professional bodywork specialist to receive new inner wings, a boot floor and a radiator panel. The engine was overhauled by Dave Rushworth. It was rebored, the crank was reground, and then it was reassembled with new +0.060in pistons, bearings, valves, springs, plus a new oil pump. The gearbox was stripped and serviced, the entire brake system was overhauled with new parts, the shock absorbers were refurbished by the MG Owners’ Club, and other new items included the steering box, wiring loom, seat frame, fuel pump and fuel lines. To finish it off, the car was given a fresh coat of Iris Blue, the seats were retrimmed, the wheels were refurbished, new tyres were fitted and a stainless-steel exhaust was fabricated.
Complete with hood and side screens, a V5C, BMIHT certificate, numerous papers and numerous photographs of the restoration, this outstanding Roadster is every bit as good as it looks.

The first generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996. The original car was not designed as a luxury-type 4x4; while certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards designed to be washed down with a hose. Features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, cloth/leather seats, and wooden interior trim were fitted later. The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis similar to contemporary Land Rovers. The Range Rover utilised coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the Rover V8 engine.
First registered on 1 October 1980 under the now retained registration mark ‘HST 7’ this very original example has been off the road for the past twenty years following the passing of the late owner who was also the vendor’s father. Subject of an engine swap where a Perkins diesel was installed, VKH 366W will require restoration and is being offered strictly as viewed. An exciting project with just four former keepers.

Evidently the recipient of one or two upgrades, this MX-5 was the pet project of MX-5 specialist Paul Sheard, who imported it in 2002 and turned it into a ‘track day toy’, for which purpose the vendor has enjoyed it since 2009. Sheard’s modifications include bucket seats and race harnesses, high-temperature brake fluid and hardened brake pads, uprated suspension and tracking, and a replacement 1.8-litre VTEC engine and six-speed gearbox.
The vendor has campaigned the MX-5 extensively, especially with the Sporting Bears club. It has been driven hard at Silverstone, Donington, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park, Anglesey, Aintree, Castle Combe, Croft and the former Top Gear track, although the vendor has not resumed track days since lockdown. The car has still been maintained, however, and in 2022 it received new brake discs and some bodywork repairs from Paul Sheard, and a full service in 2023, also from Sheard, although the vendor advises that the immobiliser does not work. Paperwork includes a workshop manual, many MOTs (current valid until October), numerous invoices for upgrades and servicing, the current V5C, three sets of keys, a fitted cover and a CTEK battery conditioner. Even at 31 years old, this car promises so much more fun than any brand-new sports car could, and for a fraction of the price, too.

“The Healey Silverstone is remarkable not only because it handles as well as any modern car we have driven and gives vivid acceleration and a maximum speed of over 100mph, but because it achieves this performance on less than 2.5 litres and with a 3.5-to-1 axle ratio, so that economy of petrol is quite unexpected. Over and above its performance capabilities, it is so docile and pleasant to drive that learner-drivers feel at home in it, it is entirely devoid of temperament, and, if it is not beautiful in appearance, its lines have a satisfying functional simplicity” (Bill Boddy, writing in Motorsport, November 1949).
Announced in July 1949, the Silverstone was arguably the most famous car to carry the Healey badge. Benefiting from the experience that Donald Healey, Achille ‘Sammy’ Sampietro (chassis guru), Ben Bowden (body engineer) and Roger Menadue (Experimental Department Manager) had gained via the earlier Westland and Elliot models, its steel ladderframe chassis was both massively strong and commendably light (circa 150lbs). Boasting six-inch deep side members, the cruciform-braced structure was equipped with trailing-arm independent front suspension, a coil-sprung but Panhard rod located ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes (11-inch front /10-inch rear).
Sourced from Riley to help keep costs down, the Silverstone’s drivetrain consisted of a 2443cc four-cylinder engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Notable for its twin camshafts (nestling high on the block), the powerplant was fed by twin SU carburettors. Mounted notably far back in the chassis, it was credited with some 104bhp and 134lbft of torque, while the synchromesh gearbox was praised for its smooth but firm action (Bill Boddy musing that “someone in Lord Nuffield’s establishment must be a gearbox-wizard”). Wonderfully purposeful, the model’s stressed-skin alloy body incorporated several ingenious touches, such as a partially retractable windscreen and letterbox slot for the spare wheel that saw it double up as a rear bumper, etc. Fitted with cycle wings, rudimentary weather equipment and a 16-gallon fuel tank, the Healey Silverstone weighed just 18.5cwt. Thus, able to claim a power to weight ratio in excess of 100bhp per ton, it promised and delivered invigorating performance.
Although fast, easy to handle and surprisingly durable, the Healey Silverstone was not cheap. Priced at £1,246 11s 8d, it was only £20 less expensive than a Jaguar XK120. Nevertheless, the Works team’s fantastic showing at Silverstone in August 1949 ensured a steady stream of enquiries from amateur and professional racing drivers alike. Campaigned on both sides of The Pond (Buenos Aires, Watkins Glen, Palm Beach, Goodwood, Dundrod etc), the pared-
back two-seater also contested various high-profile European events (Mille Miglia, Targa Florio), not to mention distinguishing itself on the Alpine and Liege-Rome-Liege rallies.
Chassis ‘D49’ was manufactured in May 1950 and was supplied new to Preston Dentist, Howard Wall being registered ‘KSM 747’, with Mr Wall understood to have collected the car personally from the factory! One of the last Silverstones built using a D-Type chassis, the Healey boasts an almost fully traceable ownership history from new. Known to have been unfortunately damaged in period when it ended up in a ditch, ‘D49’ was then placed into long-term storage until 1979 when Tim Pryke was looking for a new body to be made to unite with his Healey Silverstone ‘D17’. He entrusted the work to the well-regarded TT Workshops and upon arrival was shown an original Silverstone body. To his surprise, it was a complete Silverstone (less chassis), ‘D49’. Comprehensively restoring the bodywork, upon completion, the body, engine, gearbox, instruments, and many other original parts of ‘D49’ were fitted to chassis ‘D17’.
Realising the significance of the survival of ‘D49’s significant original parts, Mr. Pryke had a new body crafted for ‘D17’ and upon the completion of the crafting of the new coachwork, all the original parts of ‘D49’ (including bodywork) were sold to Mr. David Richard Bell who completed the restoration of ‘D49’ with a new chassis, returning the Silverstone to return to the road. In two subsequent periods of long-term ownership (1988-2005 and 2005-2015), in 2015 ‘KSM 747’ was purchased by Healey aficionado and marque specialist
Warren Kennedy. Thereafter lavished with an exhaustive restoration by Mr. Kennedy’s Classic Restorations Ltd., the Healey has pleasingly been returned to its original and attractive colour combination of Dark Green paintwork with Black interior upholstery.
Purchased into the Loch Lomond Collection in 2017 direct from Warren Kennedy for £200,000; the Loch Lomond Collection is one made up of excellent examples of predominantly 1950s, 60s, and 70s classics. Seeing very sparing use while a resident of the collection, the Healey started readily and both ran and drove well during the recent photography session. Therefore, still presenting excellently, the Healey is supplied with a history file that includes a picture of Mr. Wall outside his practice in period, an invoice for the vendor’s purchase from Warren Kennedy, an Association of Healey Owners (AOHO) Car Certificate, an AOHO letter confirming the car’s history, a previous FIVA passport from 2016, original sales literature and road tests, and past MOT certificates. Potentially eligible for the highly prestigious Mille Miglia Storica and other distinguished events, this is a wonderful opportunity to take ownership of a decidedly rare and brilliant British 1950s sporting classic.

“It’s a tungsten-colored (sic) slipstream carved from a solid billet of sex appeal. . . . How will owners turn their backs, close their garage doors?” —Aaron Robinson, Car And Driver, March 2006
Developed under Ford’s ownership and introduced as the entry model in the line-up for the 2006 model year, Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage Coupé was launched at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. Each example took 200 hours to hand build and although it resurrected a famous model designation from the company’s past, the latest Vantage was all-new, featuring a 4.3-litre quad-cam V8 engine loosely patterned on Jaguar’s ‘AJ’ unit and equipped with dry-sump lubrication which produced some 380 bhp at 7,300 rpm and 302 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. Getting to 60 mph takes 5.1 seconds and the quarter-mile passes by in 13.3 seconds at 106 mph. The dry sump enabled the engine to be mounted low in the chassis for better handling, while the use of a rear transaxle resulted in near-perfect 49/51 front-rear weight distribution. Envisaged as a rival to Porsche’s 911 and exquisitely designed and detailed while possessing class-leading agility and performance, the Vantage was nevertheless a practical two-seater with a large tailgate and 10.5ft3 rear luggage compartment. In May, 2008, Aston Martin introduced numerous updates for the Vantage, the most significant being a revised engine of 4.7 litres capacity producing 420bhp and 347lb ft of torque (a 15 per cent. increase). Thanks to the increased power and torque there was a welcome boost in performance, the 0-60mph time dropping to 4.7 seconds and the top speed increasing to 180mph.
Supplied new by the ‘Murray Motor Company’ in Glasgow in 2006 finished in Tungsten silver over black leather with red stitching, this manual 6-speed transmission example was later sold by renowned dealer, known for their top quality cars, Tom Hartley’s for a sum of £44,950 in 2010. Being a 55 plate, this V8 Vantage benefits from a lower vehicle tax band and has 13 services on file, 5 of which with AM main agents. An invoice dated 22 November 2023 by AM Performance NW Ltd shows £1529 being spent on a full service. This included brake fluid, cleaning and greasing of all suspension bolts, a key battery, oil filter, dry sump washer, 10w60 oil, transmission fluid, diff washer and cleaning and painting of the brakes. Offered with history file, service book, sales brochure and V5c this potent Aston currently registers some 59,900 miles and comes with a current MoT to November 2025.

Powered by the final iteration of the company’s venerable 4.9-litre straight six featuring revised cylinder-head 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. Braking was by drums all round. A total of 3,107 examples were produced between 1955 and 1959.

Officially recognised as the first production Eclat, one of only 15 with the vertical rear bulkhead, larger boot and smaller rear seats, LPB 545P was sold by Bell and Covill in November 1975. Little is known about its history until it was rescued from a garden in Essex by Lotusbits in 2018 and identified by them as chassis number 1. The vendor purchased the car from Lotusbits in 2018 with the intention of restoring it to original specification. After verifying its identity with the Lotus archivist work began in April 2019. After removing the body from the chassis it was established there was evidence of poorly repaired accident damage making it uneconomic to rectify and the chassis had rot over the suspension mounts and was also beyond saving. A second-hand, galvanised chassis was sourced, stripped and powder coated and a second hand unmodified 520 body acquired.
The car was resprayed in Carnival red by Normandale of Daventry in 2020 and the differential and gearbox fully overhauled by associates of Lotusbits. Where possible the interior trim was retained and retrimmed by a former Lotus trimmer who had access to the ICI oatmeal vinyl used on the originals. The seat centres were trimmed in Alcantara - chosen because it was more durable than the nylon cloth used by Lotus. Exterior trim was either polished or replaced by new old stock items from SJSportscars including the wheel centre caps. The Elan wheel embellishers were acquired from Paul Matty Sportscars Reassembled by the vendor with guidance and technical assistance from Lotusbits, the car was MoT’d on 26th April 2024.

Finished in Opalescent Light Maroon over parchment leather it is reported to have matching chassis and engine number on the cam cover and has been resident in the UK for approximately the last ten years. Originally finished in Kyalami Red, the colour was changed by Beaulieu Classics prior to acquisition by the vendor. Fitted with Coombs style rear spats it is offered with invoices, JDHC certificate and Swansea V5C.
For many, the definitive Jaguar sports Saloon, the MkII was unveiled to the public at the Earls Court Motor Show, London on 21 October 1959. Its combination of svelte good looks, strong performance and gentlemen’s club interior has successfully charmed every passing generation. Based around a more sophisticated version of its ‘MK1’ predecessor’s monocoque bodyshell it featured notably slimmer roof pillars with a wider track to improve handling characteristics. The immortal Jaguar MkII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well-located live leafsprung Salisbury rear axle, servo-assisted four wheel 12-inch disc brakes and recirculating ball steering, the model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar’s race-proved and five times Le Mans winning, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine. Although, slower on paper than their range-topping 3.8 litre siblings the 3.4 litre cars nonetheless boasted some 210bhp and 216lbft of torque, outputs sufficient to ensure a circa 120mph top speed and spirited acceleration (especially when fitted with the desirable four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox).

Summed-up as ‘lots of fun’ in true Fulvia fashion, ‘SCC 151K’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, original steel Spare Wheel (plus hub cover), factory jack / tools, three keys and numerous spares including a Series 2 Coupe engine with Vernier gears.

Reg No: 6916 PP MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B297GT
Evidently once a well-cared for machine, chassis B297GT was first registered on the 26th June 1950 as ‘6916 PP’ which denotes that it was originally sold in the Surrey area. Little of the early history is currently known, but the Bentley was acquired during the late 1960’s by the late owner who is said to have used it for his wedding and at other important life events. Residing in its current location statically since at least 2006, and in another location for many years prior to that, the late owner passed away in 2023 and ownership passed to one of his daughters who has opted to consign the car to sale.
Upon inspection it was noted that the B297GT appears to be in well-preserved original condition, with much of the original interior appearing intact. Unfortunately, moths have ravaged the original wool, but luckily, they do not eat metalwork and therefore the bodywork appears to have remained well preserved. The engine also appears intact and is said to turn-over by the vendor with the crank handle.
Now offered without reserve and presenting a dilemma for any would-be purchaser as to whether to preserve its years of patination or restore it back to its former glory, the Bentley is offered with a current UK V5C, owners handbook and a handful of old MoT test certificates and tax discs.
A ‘Soft dash’ model

Only built from March 1994 – February 1996, the Classic represented the ultimate evolution of the original Range Rover. Launched in 1970, Land Rover’s pioneering SUV had been the first vehicle of its kind to feature permanent four-wheel drive, ABS brakes, electronic traction control or air suspension. Long established as a global icon and ‘shorthand’ for British luxury, it is little wonder Land Rover hedged its bets by overlapping Classic production with that of its second generation (P38A) successor. Boasting a full suite of ‘mod cons’ including power steering, air-conditioning, heated front seats, automatic transmission and leather upholstery, the Classic was characterised by its ‘Soft Dash’ (derived from that of the contemporary Discovery). A measure of the model’s collectability, the softdashregister.net lists just 375 examples.
Offered from twenty years of ownership this ‘Soft Dash’ Classic Vogue SE is supplied with a collection of invoices evidencing some £20,000 of expenditure whilst in this current ownership. Recently benefiting from new air suspension and a water pump, it is finished in blue with grey interior and comes with a current MoT to November 2025.

Reg No: N855 DME MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: WDB1290632F128770
This very smart example has had just three owners from new and survives in very original condition. Records show it was completed on 25th October, 1995, although not registered for the road until 1st May, 1996. It still appears in its original colour scheme of Green Black Metallic with interior trim 265A (variously known as Mushroom, Parchment or Cream Beige) and presents very well. First sold through Mercedes-Benz agent Lancaster Bow Ltd. of London, it was specified with a number of desirable features, including an adjustable steering column, front and rear speakers, headlamp cleaning equipment and eight-hole alloy wheels.
This SL320 has evidently been well looked-after, as the service book contains fifteen stamps, of which the most recent was issued at 100,582 miles. The car has now covered a little over 101,000 miles, but it was only recommissioned last year having been placed in dry storage in 2018. A large collection of invoices and MOT certificates indicate just how well-maintained it has been, and it has most recently benefitted from a comprehensive service of the hood, which opens and closes quickly and smoothly. In the most recent ownership since 2005, it is offered with the latest V5C, the original book pack and a fresh MOT.

For many, the MkI Mini Cooper S is the ultimate expression of Alec Issigonis’s diminutive icon. The ‘David’ with which Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon slew ‘Goliaths’ on the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally, the compact four-seater achieved further fame thanks to a starring role in The Italian Job (1969) movie. Combining superb handling, a tuned engine and instantly recognisable styling, the Cooper S has been hailed as ‘the most popular British car of all time’. The surge in values of original cars has prompted the creation of more affordable and more attainable evocations.
Beginning life as an Austin Mini MkI Super DeLuxe, chassis AA2S7S1036776M has been restored in the style of a Cooper S. The associated work is thought to have been completed some 10 years ago and included the fitment of a leather bonnet strap, twin petrol tanks, bullet door mirrors and wider rim steel wheels etc. Fitted with a Cooper S-mimicking 1275cc A-Series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the compact saloon is finished in Blue with a contrasting White roof and Grey upholstery. A convincing evocation, ‘KUJ 296F’ is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document and large history file (including photographs and invoices relating to its renovation / transformation). The larger capacity powerplant has been correctly registered with the DVLA.

Since acquisition by the vendor in 2013 this desirable UK built right hand drive example has been used to complete many long journeys around Europe including Switzerland and the South of France. It was originally manufactured in the Slough factory before export to New Zealand where it was first registered. Fitted with a rare walnut dashboard and cream leather interior, it is said to be on the button and to sound smooth. Works have been carried out by specialist John Gillard with documentary evidence in the history file. Following import to the UK some years ago it was restored and the colour changed from black to green. Offered with a comprehensive history file including import certificates and magazine articles featuring the car, 630 XUE is accompanied by a current V5C.
Introduced at the April 1934 Paris Salon, the Traction Avant was a technological tour-deforce thanks to its unique combination of a monocoque chassis, front-wheel drive, torsion bar independent suspension, hydraulic brakes, and (from 1936) rack and pinion steering. Powered by a 1911cc four-cylinder OHV engine allied to a manual transmission, the Light 15 versions produced at Citroen’s Slough factory boasted wooden dashboards, leather upholstery, and 12-volt electrics.

With just 1 previous registered keeper from new and a warranted 66,000 miles on its odometer, FNX 181T is offered with a significant amount of history and displays no visible signs of corrosion. It also benefits from an upgraded audio system, cooper grille with spotlights and black Minilite wheels. The smart bodywork is finished in Henley Blue teamed with a rare and well-preserved Granite ‘Smarties’ interior.

Rover Group had two goes at badging Minis as Sprites - firstly in 1983 with 2500 examples of a ‘youth appeal’ 998cc model fitted with special 10-inch alloy wheels, drum brakes and bold side striping. Available in red or yellow, this Sprite also had black bumpers, fixed rear windows and full instrumentation from the 1275 GT. The 1990s Rover Mini Sprite revived the name and usurped the old ‘City’ designation. From its Spring 1992 introduction, each Sprite was fitted with a carburettor-fed 50bhp version of the 1275cc motor with open-loop catalytic converter. Black wheel arches and grille were teamed with chrome bumpers and 12-inch steel wheels.

This vivacious little Sprite comes with plenty of history and presents well following an extensive overhaul in 2014. According to the BMIHT certificate, it was built on 20th January, 1959, and despatched on 3rd February, to be sold through Murray & Charleton Ltd. of County Durham. Originally finished in Cherry Red with red upholstery and black trim, it pleasingly still appears in the same colour scheme, and we note the presence of some desirable accessories such as the bullet mirrors and luggage rack. It is thought that it had just one owner until 2013, having been taken off the road in 1979.
The next owner treated it to a comprehensive, photographically-documented renovation, which included repairing the body shell with new metal where necessary, respraying it, retrimming the interior and going through all the mechanicals until the Sprite was ready for the road once more. The vendor purchased the car in 2015 and, in his time, it received a new distributor and dynamo in 2016, and new brake cylinders, rear springs, speedometer and rev counter in 2022 (the previous speedometer read 54,607 miles). The documents file includes the V5C, driver’s handbook, BMIHT certificate, a large collection of invoices and numerous photographs of the overhaul.
Reg No: OMB 732P MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 11501520303123
Introduced in 1968, Mercedes-Benz’s ‘New Generation’ W114/115 models were intended to attract new buyers to the marque and hence broaden its customer base. Mainstay of the W115 range, the four-door 200 saloon was powered by a 1988cc four-cylinder engine that developed some 94bhp and 115lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 99mph, the Stuttgart factory’s legendary build quality helped make it a strong sales success.
First registered in Middlesex (or so its ‘OMB 732P’ number plate would imply), this particular manual example has been dry stored as part of a private collection for much of the past decade. Said to have been in running order last year, the Mercedes-Benz has not been started of late and will require recommissioning / restoring prior to road use. Finished in Blue with Red MB-Tex upholstery and Beige carpets, the 200 Saloon is believed but not warranted to have covered a modest 92,500 miles from new. Last passing a MOT test less than 300 miles ago, the four- / five-seater has the makings of a practical, family classic. Reportedly accompanied by the original service book and three keys (one of which fits all the locks), ‘OMB 732P’ is offered for sale without reserve. A rare survivor and surely among the least expensive ways to acquire a Paul Bracq-styled Mercedes-Benz?

Regrettably offered from a deceased’s estate, this beautifully-kept Rover 100 is now in need of a new owner who will care for it as well as previous owners have done. Little of its history is known, but according to records it has had only seven known owners up to April of this year. Indeed, it is understood that the car received a very comprehensive overhaul circa 2018, receiving a respray in the present two-tone green, and it is visibly apparent that the interior has been refurbished to a high standard in the not-too-distant past. The Rover was in long-term ownership from 2003 to 2017, and the next owner kept it until 2024, when it entered the present family.
In addition to the paint and upholstery, the chrome and the lovely raised-letter number plates are in very nice condition, and the carpets also appear fairly new. The woodwork presents wonderfully, with a light patina commensurate with its age. The engine appears clean and well-kept and, all in all, this represents a supremely smart and useable example of the much-loved ‘Auntie’ Rover, in desirable six-cylinder guise. It is sold with the present V5C.

Introduced in January 1958, the Hamblin Cadet was among the better-known kits for transforming an Austin Seven into a two-seater sports car. Designed by crash repairer turned special builder Syd Hamblin, it was sold by the likes of Super Accessories, Boult Bros., Halifax Panel Beating Co. and Speedex. Priced at just £34 10s 0d (in self-build guise) but looking not unlike a formula racer thanks to its oval grille, cigar profile and bulbous tail, the fibreglass Cadet reputedly accounted for some 600-700 sales.This Austin Sevenbased Hamblin Cadet has benefitted from much work, its photo-documented restoration being completed in 2022 and presented a timely opportunity to upgrade components for both reliability and performance. An overhauled engine, described as ‘costing thousands’, was utilised and built-up with a twin carburettor-equipped racing cylinder head, lightened flywheel, racing pistons, large inlet valves and a new crank. In turn, the ancillaries were uprated with electronic ignition and an electric water pump. It rides on uprated suspension, including new rear shock absorbers, a new large capacity aluminium tank and a re-wire before the bodywork was repainted. This enticingly sorted and handsome Special is being offered with a history file which includes a collection of MOTs and invoices, some of which date back to 1989, and the current V5C Registration Document.

Owned by the vendor since 2019, VN03 WKX is a rare example of one of an extremely limited run of ‘Irmscher’ Omega estate cars built. Used frequently and much enjoyed, the black bodywork and interior are set off by the original Irmscher body styling and wheels. The cabin is said to be extremely tidy with no major wear on the seats or dashboard. There is some slight fading on the bodywork and marks on the rims but the overall effect is impressive. Offered with a current MoT to March 2026 this rare survivor features the top of the range 3.2 V6 engine and offers exciting motoring at modest cost.
Launched in 1994, the Omega was introduced to replace the Carlton and Senator. Replacing two cars in one go is no easy task and Vauxhall needed a large engine line-up and baffling range of trim levels. And that’s exactly what they got. It came with a 2.0-litre 8v and 16v, a 2.5-litre and 3.0-litre V6 and a 2.5-litre diesel with the top of the range cars receiving a superb 3.2-litre V6 producing 213bhp that could propel it to 155mph. A limited run of cars with upgrades from German tuning firm Irmscher as offered here was also available.

Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon and was immediately available in either coupe or convertible guise. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a ‘cat’ with strong DNA but also its own distinctive personality. At the time of the newcomer’s unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS.
First registered in September 1999, ‘V467 KOH’ is finished in eye-catching Sapphire Blue Metallic and rides on the factory optional 18” alloy wheels. The interior is a perfect combination of comfort and practicality, with space for four occupants surrounded by supple two-tone leather and wood veneers. Supplied new by Paramount Jaguar of Stourport, this two owner example has only covered just 30,250 miles from new (atoc) and is offered with the original book pack, handbooks and replacement service book with 15 stamped entries. The car is to be sold with a valid MOT certificate for eleven months and offers a rare opportunity to become just the car’s third custodian in twenty-six years.

This charming Chiltern was originally sold through University Motors to Dr. A. H. Copeman of 17, Brunswick Square, Hove. In May, 1928, it passed to Rupert Cobb of Dumpton Park, Broadstairs, and it is understood he used it until 1935, before storing it at the Cobb Brewery in Margate, where it remained until Alan White of Westgate-on-Sea purchased it in 1960. In 1963, E. Bruce Watson of Broadstairs bought it for his son Roger, who cherished it until his death in 2014. Roger served for over 30 years as the Armstrong Siddeley Club’s 14hp specialist. He painted the car in the early 1970s and the wings were refreshed c.2010.
In single ownership since 2014, the vendor’s work has included installing flashing indicators and new carpets around 10 years ago, recovering of the seats in 2023 and a magneto overhaul in 2025. Due to a fault with the folding roof, it has been repaired with a hardtop and fixed in the raised position. Only around 1,000 miles have been covered since the engine was resleeved to its standard bore in 2016, with new pistons and valves installed. A delightful and unusual way to enjoy vintage motoring, this Armstrong Siddeley is sold with the current V5C and history including maintenance notes, a buff logbook and the VSCC buff form.

The Rover 12 was a name given to several medium sized family cars from the British Rover car company between 1905 and 1948. The first Rover 12 was the third car the company made and was launched in 1905. It had a four cylinder, water cooled, side valve, monobloc engine of 1767 cc. In August 1933 the all new 12 was launched as part of the new range introduced by the Wilks brothers. It had a new 1496 cc, four-cylinder engine producing 53 bhp. The chassis was also new but based on the one seen on the 1933 Speed Pilot being “underslung” going under the rear axle. The four-speed transmission featured a freewheel mechanism with conventional suspension with rigid axles and half elliptic leaf springs all round.
Acquired in 2013 by the current mechanic owner as a barn find in need of total restoration, the work would take eleven years to complete with the goal of using it for his grand-daughter’s wedding. Completed in 2024 it now registers a highly credible 49,750 miles on its odometer and boasts matching chassis and engine numbers. During the restoration the coachwork colour was changed from black to the more vibrant current combination of honeysuckle over maroon exterior which complements the rich red leather interior and trimmed steering wheel. The driving experience benefits from the fitment of telescopic shocks to improve ride quality and the car boasts a more free-flowing exhaust which sounds fantastic. MJ 9848 retains its original gearbox and engine which were refreshed during the restoration.

A more powerful alternative to the MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the B V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit. The factory V8 cars were somewhat less tuned, producing 137bhp rather than 150bhp – the output was nevertheless sufficient for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph. As the all-alloy Rover engine was lighter than the cast-iron BMC unit, no significant changes were required to the rest of the car. Production of the V8 was curtailed in 1976 (reputedly over BLMC’s concern it would affect sales of other products - in particular, the dearer, less powerful Triumph Stag) after some 2,591 had been built.
Sold to its first owner on the 7th of June 1975, this late chrome bumper V8 is a home market example that was supplied new via Kennings Ltd. of Wetherby. One of just 2,591 genuine factory V8s manufactured, it is finished in Black paintwork with a bespoke Cream leather interior upholstery with Black piping, and Black carpeting. Featuring the original V8 Dunlop wheels which have recently been shod with fresh Avon tyres, ‘KVY 808N’ has had just two long-term ownerships across the last four decades (1984-2013 and 2013-2024). During the first of these ownership periods, the V8 was entrusted to renowned marque specialist Bromsgrove MG Centre for an extensive restoration.
Fully restored by them between 1996 and 1998, there are invoices on file relating to some £14,000 worth of related expenditure. Purchased by the current registered ownership from an MG specialist for some £25,000, the V8 is offered with a history file that contains the original stamped Passport to Service; MOT certificates dating back to 1981; the aforementioned restoration invoices; tax discs; original handbook and workshop manuals; sales brochures; and a current V5C. Starting readily and running and driving well for the recent photography session, ‘KVY 808N’ is a desirable overdrive example that still presents very well!

This late model SL320 has had just 3 former keepers and has covered only 49,200 miles from new. Clearly a pampered example, the accompanying extensive service history corroborates that our vendor has adopted a no expense spared attitude to maintaining this car since he acquired it in 2023. Finished in Metallic Silver with black leather to the interior, it is fitted with a desirable factory hard top and comes with a hard top stand. The soft top has hardly seen use and remains in superb condition with no visible signs of wear or ageing. The paintwork similarly appears to be in fine condition whilst the interior is said to be immaculate with no major signs of wear on the seats, roof or dashboard - as one would expect of such a cherished example. Capable of cosseting its occupants yearround, Y983 BPA is offered with a large history file, several old MoT certificates, assorted invoices, a letter from the previous owner, current MoT to June 2026 and a Swansea V5C. A fitted car cover and Mercedes factory umbrella are also included.
The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL roadsters were produced from 1989 through 2002. The R129 models were produced as a two-door, two-seat roadster with an automated (electro-hydraulic), collapsible textile roof, with a shelllike, colour-matched, tonneau cover. All these particular models came standard with an aluminium detachable hardtop. The R129 was based on the shortened floor pan of the W124 and featured many innovative details for the time, such as electronically controlled damping (Adaptive Damping System ADS, optional) and a hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. The number of standard features was high, with electric windows, mirrors, seats and hydraulic convertible top. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder petrol engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.

Widely regarded as Japan’s first genuine sports car, the second-generation Datsun Fairlady (SP310, or Datsun Sports SPL310 in the USA) was introduced in 1962. Built around a robust, double-dropped, cruciformbraced chassis, it was equipped with dual wishbone independent front suspension, a live rear axle, telescopic shock absorbers and cam and lever steering. Entered for the first Japanese Grand Prix in 1963, suitably tweaked SP310 models also won the national championship against Triumph TR4 and Porsche 356 competition. The ultimate evolution, however, arrived in 1967. The SR311 model saw the introduced of a new SOHC 1,982cc engine producing a claimed 135bhp and a five-speed gearbox as standard, with the option of a twin-Mikuni or Solex carburettor packaged and uprated cam for a total of 150bhp.
This delightful example of the seldom-seen Fairlady may look like a pretty and mild-mannered sports car to take out on a Sunday afternoon, but you may be assured it is quite a bit hotter than that. Its history is known as far back as 2011, when it was imported by Shrewsbury dealership Wheels of Old and sold to the vendor. He was quick to use it in earnest, campaigning it in the Ross & District Motor Sport Club’s 2012 Ross Traders Historic Rally, where it set the fastest times on seven of the Tarmac stages. Between 2016 and 2021, the Datsun was comprehensively overhauled to be more seriously competitive, with a half roll cage, a full engine rebuild with new Weber carburettors, and a respray in the lovely primrose it now wears. From the claimed factory output of 150bhp, the vendor advises that this produced around 170bhp when tested in 2021, which combined with a standard five-speed gearbox makes for a very capable machine. As he says: “This car is not for pottering around – it is very quick and needs driving briskly. It will make you smile!” It is described as “very good” in most areas with an “excellent” engine, and is sold with the current V5C.

This 500SL has the distinction of being enjoyed by just one former keeper since new. It was purchased from the original Jersey-based owner in 2006 with few miles covered and has been used frequently since. Now displaying some 130.500 miles, it is offered with a large history file which includes invoices and receipts for works carried out. Finished in Classic White over a burgundy leather interior, it has been taxed and MoT’d every year since acquisition by the vendor with servicing and maintenance completed by an independent specialist based in West London. An opportunity to enjoy the potent 500 SL should not be overlooked and this example is offered with current MoT to April 2026.
The larger, third generation model (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Replacement for the ageing W113 Pagoda which had made its debut in 1963, the car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension all round - double wishbones/coil springs at the front and semi-trailing arms/coil springs at the rear. Braking was by discs all round - ventilated on the front. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by no less than eight different engines with over 237,000 examples being built - the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz aside from the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-design was bigger, heavier and softer-riding than its predecessor, but still handled and won the plaudits of distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500 SL made from 1980 had an all-alloy fuel-injected V8 for Europe only with 60mph available in 7.4 secs and top speed of 140mph, faster even than the 560 SL. Plenty of R107s come to market, but 500 SLs are a rarity, with only 11,812 built.

Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20hp. Though the newcomer was primarily aimed at owner-drivers, many examples were sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20. Now of 3,699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and higher top speeds of up to 75mph. Bodywork for the 20/25 was to the taste of each individual customer, and Freestone & Webb, Gurney Nutting, Park Ward, Thrupp & Maberly, H. J. Mulliner and Hooper were among the many coachbuilders selected to clothe these fine motor cars. Nearly 4,000 20/25 chassis were produced, making it the company’s best-selling model between the wars.
Originally registered ‘BXM 1’, chassis GLG38 boasts impressive early provenance. It was ordered new by H.R.H. Prince Prajadhipok of Siam (1893-1941), who ruled as king from November, 1925, to March, 1935, when he abdicated following a coup and moved to England to live in Surrey. Prajadhipok ordered GLG38 with a “Sports Enclosed Limousine” body by Hooper, to be used in “the United Kingdom and occasionally abroad, mainly for touring.” Later ownership included J. Stein (or Stern) of London NW3 (1940), and S. Box of Riverside Studios, Hammersmith (1946). The present paint is thought to have been applied in America or Brazil in the 1970s. GLG38 was reimported by the Real Car Co. in 2000, and was bought by the late owner, a respected Rolls-Royce collector. There is evidence of a top-end overhaul in 2001, and other maintenance was carried out through the early 2000s. Paintwork refurbishment was ongoing when the owner died, so it will require completion. The car was driven regularly on RREC rallies in the 2000s, but some recommissioning will be needed as it has not been on the road since 2018. It retains original fittings including the bumpers, wheel discs and twin spare wheels, and is offered with historic V5s, copies of the build sheets, RREC literature, technical papers, and many invoices and MOTs.

Around the same time, the colour was changed from orange and white. It has been in the present owner’s possession since 2019. The interior fittings are fairly modern so it is thought the camper conversion occurred shortly before the chassis overhaul. The light and airy living space can comfortably seat up to five people, or seven at a pinch, and all the necessary accoutrements are in place to ensure that the Volkswagen can be enjoyed as a comfortable home from home. These include a rockand-roll bed, a collapsible table, water and electrical supplies, cooking facilities and a refrigerator. Why restrict yourself to hotel rooms or struggle with a tent when you can have all the comfort and convenience you need with this characterful Volkswagen? It started and ran very well when we inspected it, and is sold with the current V5C.

This ex-military Defender was built in 1987 and registered in 1999 following release from the MOD where it served as a light aircraft support vehicle, having starting life as a 90 Hardtop with windows. Retro fitted with a Defender 200 TDi engine with 5-speed LT77 gearbox (the mileage has been set to be in line with this engine). The impressive specification includes; professionally extended Richards galvanised chassis (not a Discovery chassis), galvanised front and rear 300 TDi axles with galvanised axle casings, heavy duty fuel tank guard, box section rock sliders, front bumper with tapered ends, electric winch (10k), ARB Air Lockers rear diff with ARB compressor, Matt Lee heavy duty steel rims with heavy duty BF Goodrich tyres, TD5 110 high capacity rear body tub professionally shortened with Ifor Williams rear canopy and TD5 facelift dash, centre panel switches, and gauges. The overall effect of all the changes is impressive and this Landy certainly looks purposeful and rugged. The tent box fitted to the roof is a nice touch (untested) as is the rear tow bar, snorkel, LED light bar, and front bull bar. Bills and invoices on file approach £7,000, including £1,750.80 for the chassis and £660 for the Ifor Williams canopy presently fitted.

Imported from Japan and subsequently sold by Specialist Cars of Tockwith, Yorkshire, this E220 comes with its original Japanese service manual in kilometres and registers some 49,000 miles from new. Serviced in the UK by marque specialists Merc-Pro Ltd of Wymondham in 2016-17 it then spent a period in storage. A new radio and aerial along with a tracker were fitted in 2016. A new air-conditioning blower was also installed that same year along with a new window switch and correct specification pollen filters. Following its emergence from storage in 2025 a new battery, fuel pump and filter were fitted and the car valeted.
The introduction of the 200E and 220E models in 1992 made the Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124 bodyshell available with the smaller, more economical engines of the ‘Compact’ C-Class. These new engines featured twin overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and variable inlet timing. Thus Mercedes claimed their more efficient combustion improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. In October 1993 the ‘E’ became a prefix rather than a suffix and the cars were mildly face-lifted, the most obvious change being a frame-less grille recessed into the bonnet panel. In this form the model lasted only two years, being replaced in mid-1995 by the W120.

Chassis No: WBADU52030LF68290
The launch of the first-generation Z4 consists of the E85 (Roadster) and E86 (Coupe) models. Built with a mind to provide an alternative to the Porsche Boxster in America, it utilised rear-wheel drive and six-cylinder engines almost throughout the range (although there was a four-cylinder 2.0i version in Europe). Compared to the Z3, the Z4’s body dimensions were larger and its wheelbase was longer and wider. The suspension was also upgraded to be stiffer and the car was equipped with a sport package that firmed up the steering. Some of the Z4’s elements were borrowed from the BMW’s 3 series such as the multilink suspension which was more advanced than that on the BMW Z3.
Finished in Gunmetal metallic with cream leather interior and registering some 92,000 miles, this Z4 comes with its book pack with original handbooks and service book, a collection of invoices and old MoTs together with a current MoT to June 2026. In the current ownership for the past five years, during which only 1300 miles have been completed, following purchase from an H&H sale in 2020, it has been professionally stored during that time.

Chassis No: GHN331379
This very early ‘pull handle’ MGB built in March 1964 appears in good order and displays c.9,000 miles on its odometer. Finished in classic British Racing Green with black interior trim, it is understood to have been restored around 1990 and comes with myriad invoices relating to works carried out. A new petrol tank was sourced in 2019 whilst the carburettors were cleaned and the sump gasket replaced in 2020. In 2023 four new wire wheels and tyres with spinners were purchased at a cost of some £1600 inc. VAT. Recent works have been completed this year by Clydesdale Classic Cars Ltd of East Kilbride with invoices on file. Offered with current MoT certificate to June 2026 and Swansea V5C document this pretty B is ready for summer.
Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan ‘Safety Fast’. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle, its 1798cc ‘B’ series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.

This range topping 3.2-litre V6 Omega has been in the vendor’s ownership for the past six years. Although displaying Opel badges which were swapped by a previous keeper the car is a Vauxhall and has been much enjoyed and frequently used. Finished in silver with black leather interior the paintwork presents well with just a few blemishes here and there. The interior appears in fine condition with Sat-Nav option present. We are advised everything inside works as it should and the car is offered with a current MoT to March 2026.
Launched in 1994, the Omega essentially replaced the Carlton and Senator models. An executive car with an affordable price making a BMW or Audi alternative for senior management. It was available with 2.0-litre 8v and 16v, 2.5-litre and 3.0-litre V6 and 2.5-litre diesel from BMW with the top of the range getting a superb 3.2-litre V6 producing 213bhp which could propel the car to a limited top speed of 155mph. Amazingly, it handled better than it had any right to which made the sporty MV6 a hoot to drive. Wafting along at motorway speeds was serene, but point it at the twisty stuff and the Omega proved a nimble companion.

Developed in the late 1960s as a comfortable but equally capable version of the Land Rover, the Range Rover was launched in 1970. Given that the basic concept was right to start with, Land-Rover had little need to evolve the mechanicals but by the late 1970s buyers were facing new, upmarket European choices in the luxury car market from BMW and Mercedes. To keep up, the Range-Rover was bedecked with an increasing choice of luxury equipment plus a commensurately high price tag. Four-door coachwork brought a welcome increase in practicality following Monteverdi’s paving the way with a four-door conversion during the late 1970s / early 1980s and by this time the Range-Rover was a sales success attracting buyers whose business needs extended to both town and country. The association with Royalty wasn’t underplayed by Range-Rover and that image has lived on for the `Classic’ Range-Rover shape, and with a useful 3500cc V8 upfront, auto transmission and four-wheel drive, there’s little else that can compete for class and all-round capability. Fitted with Classic Front Bull Bar and spot lamps, this example is offered from long term ownership since 1996 as a restoration project and is sold strictly as viewed.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS
1.1 An Entry Form in respect of each Lot must be completed fully and accurately, with an honest description of the Lot, signed and dated by the Seller and accompanied by the Entry Fee, when the Lot is entered. The Auctioneer may at any time ratify an incomplete form.
1.2 Any documentation pertaining to the Lot must be sent with the Entry Form to the Auctioneer’s office, or in any event delivered with the Lot to the Premises. The Contract between the Seller and the Auctioneer will be formed when the Auctioneer receives a signed Entry Form for the Lot, whether by hand, post, fax, email or by any other means, and whether or not the Entry
Fee for that Lot has been paid, and whether or not the Form has been signed by the Auctioneer.
1.3 All relevant matters pertaining to the Lot such as a financial encumbrance, serious accident damage or other factors affecting value which are known to the Seller must be stated on the Entry Form. If a sale is lost because of the failure of the Seller to disclose to the Auctioneer all information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Lot, the Auctioneer will charge and the Seller must pay the stated rates (both to Seller and Buyer) plus VAT.
1.4 If the Seller wishes to retain the registration number of a Lot, it is the Seller’s responsibility to notify the Auctioneer in writing on the Entry Form. It is the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current registration number is retained and a new number allocated prior to the Lot being sold. If the Seller does not do so, the Auctioneer shall not be responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever and howsoever arising out of the Seller’s loss of the right to the registration number following the sale of the Lot.
2.1 The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion whether or not to accept any Lot for sale and shall be entitled to select the auction place, date, catalogue placement and photographs for the Lot.
2.2 The Seller gives the Auctioneer full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot placed in its hands for sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations as are provided by the Seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Sale), with indemnity against copyright infringement.
2.3 The Seller is wholly responsible for the factual accuracy of, and for any judgments or opinions expressed in, the catalogue description of each Lot entered by him, and for any error, misstatement or omission of information in that description. Whether the description has been prepared by the Auctioneer or the Seller, a copy of the typed text will be provided to the Seller within a reasonable time prior to the Auction, and unless the Seller reacts with comments or changes prior to the Auction, the Auctioneer may treat that description as accepted by the Seller.
3.1 The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the Buyer either that he is the true owner of the Lot or that he is duly authorised to sell the Lot by the true owner, and is able to transfer or procure transfer of good and marketable title to the Lot free from a third party claims or encumbrances.
3.2 In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot, the Auctioneer reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith. There will be a charge of £75 plus VAT for this service.
3.3 Each Lot, in the condition as described on the Entry Form, and with all keys, spare or extra items and documents shall be delivered to the Premises at the expense of the Seller. The Seller of a Lot not held by the Auctioneer at the Premises or under its control warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that the Lot will be made available and in a deliverable state at the time stated by the Auctioneer.
3.4 The Seller shall indemnify both the Auctioneer, its Employees and Agents, and the Buyer separately, against all payments, costs, expenses, demands, or any loss or damage whatsoever and wheresoever incurred or suffered by any of them in respect of any breach of these Conditions on the part of the Seller.
4.1 The Seller shall be entitled, prior to the sale to place a Reserve on any Lot, this being the minimum Hammer Price at which the Auctioneer is authorised to sell that Lot and to make its usual charges. A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer.
4.2 The Auctioneer may, at its option, sell the Lot at a Hammer Price below the Reserve but in any such case the Sale Proceeds to which the Seller is entitled shall be the same as if the sale had been at Reserve.
4.3 Where no Reserve has been placed on the Lot the Auctioneer shall in no way be liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below the lowest estimated selling price. In any event, any written or oral estimate of likely selling price given by the Auctioneer is an expression of opinion only and may not be relied upon by the Seller nor give rise to any claim.
4.4 If a Reserve is placed by the Seller in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, such a Reserve shall be calculated and converted into Sterling at the spot rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the last banking day prior to the date of the Sale. The certificate in writing of the Auctioneer as to such rate shall be conclusive.
4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.
5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:-
(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none;
(b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none,
(c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value;
(d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses;
5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.
6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14.
7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either:
(a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively)
(b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.
8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.
9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made:
(a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot;
(b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting
the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced, placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of the Seller.
9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission.
10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk.
10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer.
10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer.
10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier.
10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.
10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds
11.1 If the Buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the total Amount due within 21 days after the Sale, the Auctioneer will notify the Seller and take the Seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action. So far as in the Auctioneer’s opinion it is practicable, the Auctioneer will at the Seller’s expense assist the Seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the Buyer, but the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.
11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer.
12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet
a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.
12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary.
12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal.
12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again.
12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides.
12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale.
13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with
the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.
13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so.
