Nearly 25 years ago Sauber took its first steps in Formula 1® with the striking C12. Designed by Harvey Postlethwaite and Leo Ress, the car was driven by Karl Wendlinger and JJ Lehto, taking the team to seventh in the Constructors’ Championship with two highest place finishes of fourth at the San Marino and Italian Grands Prix.

Looking totally realistic, Sauber 93.C12A.04 is one of five show cars built by the Sauber F1 team for its sponsors and partners. It is based on the 1993 C12 but is finished in the more attractive ‘Tissot’ 1994 livery and was constructed using original tooling and many original parts. The bodywork, front and rear wings, floor, suspension, steering and cooling appear to be original. The tub is of carbon fibre construction. The ILMOR 2175 engine and Xtrac semi-automatic transaxle are deliberately missing their internal components, and some hidden parts were not fitted.

This stunning car would make a fine addition to any collection, as a display piece in an office reception, as a basis for a realistic simulator, or just something to hang on your kitchen wall! N.B. The car has been inspected by F1 engineers who concluded that the car is an exhibition car only and not suitable to be made into a running car.

As sales climbed for BMW throughout the 1960s across Europe, their attention started to focus on Motorsport and their desire to create ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’. The first model to reflect this was the 2002, introduced in 1968 and their high-performance version, the 2002 Tii, quickly followed in 1970 with a more powerful engine giving 120bhp, a 5-speed gearbox and uprated suspension and brakes.

inspections. This charming 2002 would make an ideal entry into historic racing or road-rallies. However, the fact it can boast period continental race history will ensure this little ‘Beemer’ stands out from the crowd.

This beautifully finished 2002 Ti was delivered new to Italy at the beginning of ‘02’ production and was raced by its first owner as early as 1968. Copies of the original Italian paperwork show the car finished 1st in class in the Coppa Primavera in 1972 and went on to race at numerous events such as Vernasca, the Coppa Petrobelli, Trofeo Lombardini and the Giro d’Italia to name a few. The car was raced predominantly by Italian Roberto Torelli up until 1977.

This 2002 was originally registered in Italy with the registration RE206609 and has copies of various sets of old FIA passports, including its CSAI logbook. The car today is presented in good condition with bright silver paintwork with blue stripes. The engine bay is in excellent condition and the interior presents well.

Prior to use in anger, this BMW will require a spanner check, however, the car is in running condition and we welcome pre-sale

The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these - the 1,071cc Mini Cooper ‘S’ of 1963 - took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 ‘S’ and 1275 ‘S’ of 1964. The ultimate Mini of its day, the 1275 ‘S’ pumped out 76bhp while remaining exceptionally flexible, and was good for a genuine 100mph - an astonishing performance at the time.

This little Green Mini racer started life in 1966 as a 998cc Mini Cooper and for the next 49 years did the things that Mini Coopers do. In 2015 it was chosen as a basis to build a full-race 1275 and during 2015/2016 it was completely restored and prepared to Cooper ‘S’ racing specification.

The restoration and build are now complete and the car is in effectively ‘new’ condition throughout and ready to race. The rebuild was carried out to a very high standard by Verbaas Preparations of the Netherlands; all the engine and clutch components were bought from Nick Swift Tuning, and since completion, the car has been driven only once, at the Zandvoort circuit.

roll cage with certificate by Verbaas Preparations; full race engine incorporating numerous Swiftune performance components; closeratio straight-cut gearbox; Salisbury Powr-Lok differential (3.9:1); aluminium foam-filled fuel tank; Lexan windows; lightweight race battery; Stack rev counter; Sparco seat (valid until 2020); and a QSP harness (valid until 2020).

Accompanying paperwork consists of the original title document, roll-bar safety certificate, Netherlands registration papers, FIA Historic Technical Passport (Class CT7), and a BMIHT certificate.

The Mini’s original 998cc engine is included in the sale.

This very competitive race car is ready to go, and with its HTP to hand, is eligible for many of the most prestigious historic events such as the Spa Summer Classic, Silverstone Classic, Goodwood Revival, etc.

1976 March F3 763-16

Chassis No: 00016 Engine Number: TBC Estimate: £45,000 - £50,000

Bid via the Internet on lot 104

The Italian Formula Three series had emerged in the mid-1970s as perhaps the most important in the world along with the principal British championship. The Italian economy had proved more resilient than most, in the face of economic recession, and there was money to sponsor enough cars to make for a very competitive series.

Accordingly, March sold eleven of its total 763 production of sixteen cars in Italy.

Raced in period by “Gimax” (a mysterious but evidently wealthy Italian businessman who didn’t take himself too seriously), Alessandro Cinotti, and Francesco Campaci, this March had mixed success with some handy qualification times but no race finishes during its nine competitive outings, with budget pressures preventing it from undertaking more events.

Such was the annual influx of new cars to Italy for the domestic series and the European title chase that cars owned by the more prosperous teams, such as Pavanello, often had short racing lives. Unless they were adopted and modified by an impoverished privateer, cars typically ran for only one or two seasons. This was the case with 763-16 which seems to have been abandoned in the Pavanello workshop by the middle of 1977 after only nine events.

1985 Toleman TG185 Formula 1 ‘Rolling Tub’

In the 1970s, businessman and motorsport fan Ted Toleman began his involvement in various car racing formulae in the UK. Toleman’s entry to Formula 1® was announced in November 1980 and the Toleman team’s debut was in the 1981 San Marino Grand Prix. Over the next two years, their original Rory Byrne-designed TG181 car was extensively developed as it had proved overweight and underpowered, however, in 1983 the new car T183B showed improved form. The budget increased as Toleman’s current sponsor - Italian white goods manufacturer Candy - was joined by Iveco brand Magirus and BP. Noted driver, Derek Warwick, achieved Toleman’s first points finish in the Dutch GP and scored again in the remaining three Grands Prix. These results placed Toleman 9th in the Constructors’ Championship standings.

The driver line-up changed completely in 1984. Warwick’s performances were rewarded with a Renault contract and his place was taken by Grand Prix debutant and future three-time World Champion Ayrton Senna. Senna quickly made an impression on Formula 1® in his TG184 car and achieved Toleman’s greatest result. In a rain-soaked Monaco GP, he finished in a close 2nd place behind Alain Prost OBE. The torrential conditions forced the clerk of the course (Jacky Ickx) to stop the race after 31 of the scheduled 78 laps. It was a controversial decision that stirred up a conspiracy

The Silverstone Classic Race Car Sale 2017

theory and resulted in much debate about whether Senna would have won. In May 1985, Toleman acquired major sponsorship from the Benetton clothing company. During the 1985/86 off-season, the knitwear firm purchased the team and it was renamed Benetton Formula prior to the 1986 season.

Offered for sale is a ‘United Colours of Benetton’ liveried Toleman TG185 ‘Rolling Tub’. This tub, according to our vendor, is understood to be chassis number TG185-01 the last built by Rory Byrne for Toleman Group Motorsport in January 1985. Chassis TG185-01 was purportedly driven in period by Stefan Johansson, Teo Fabi and tested by John Watson with notable results at Monaco and in Germany. In later years we understand the car raced in the Euro Boss Championship with a DFV engine fitted in place of its original Hart unit. TG185-01 is now for sale as a rolling show car without an engine and other ancillary parts such as brake calipers.

This is a rare piece of Formula 1® history and at this reasonable guide would make an interesting centrepiece in a showroom, as part of a collection, or as the basis for a full restoration to a useable single-seater.

Very occasionally a competition car becomes known internationally by its nickname – think in terms of ‘The Breadvan’ (250SWB Drogo), ‘Moby Dick’ (Longtail Porsche 935), John Cooper’s ‘Twini’, the ‘Blue Train Bentley’, ‘Big Sam’ (240Z Samurai), Gerry Marshall’s Vauxhalls ‘Old Nail and Baby Bertha’ and Dave Brodie’s Escort ‘Run Baby Run’. To this list can certainly be added the little car on offer here, known throughout the world of motorsport as ‘The Safari Mini’, so named after competing in the gruelling East African Safari Rally, not once (which would have been remarkable in itself), but five times!

and cold starts etc. The engine currently fitted is a highly modified 1275 MG Metro Turbo unit and there is a full A4 page in the file with its build spec. There are similar full pages of details on the ‘Running Gear’, ‘Interior’, ‘Body’, and ‘Gearbox and Diff’. We understand that the gearbox alone would cost around £2,800 to build from new.

Since its rebuild, we understand that Du Du has covered less than 30 road miles.

This amazing little rally car named ‘Du Du’ (Swahili for little insect) had been in storage since 2004 after returning from Africa in Zebra colours and its last attempt on the Safari in 2003. It was recently purchased by Malcolm Huxley and his lady co-driver Anne Sealand (Annemal Motorsports) and returned to circulation. They took the decision to restore the Mini to its former glory, pretty much as it was for its first Safari attempt in 1997 when it was sponsored by Corgi Models.

Corgi Heritage Centre produced scale models of this car in 1997 and 2000, and in different variations with Land Rovers and trailers.

Built originally in 1995 by Robert Plant Engineering (RPE Motorsport), Q290 HBV is a fully-documented ‘Group A Rally Car’ and was put together for the ‘95 ‘Network Q Rally of Great Britain’ starting in Chester. Amongst others, it competed in

To do the Safari once in a Mini would be regarded as foolhardy by anyone who understands the destructive nature of the terrain, but five times!

The details of its recent restoration and bare metal respray are with the volumes of history that accompany this little car. During the rebuild, it was felt that whilst the car was quite capable of being rallied again, it was unlikely to be so, and given its likely usage at Goodwood, Race Retro, Cholmondeley Pageant, for example, the original engine was too precious to be used for short demonstrations

Few cars encapsulate the drama and excitement of World Championship rallying more effectively than the Group A Lancia Delta HF Integrale. From its introduction as a replacement for the Group B cars in the 1987 WRC to the final year of competition in 1993, the Lancia Delta reigned supreme, taking 46 World Championship rally wins, and claiming the Constructors’ Championship for Lancia a record six times back-to-back.

The car presented here is a true rally legend and a piece of WRC history. This wonderful Lancia Abarth Delta was registered ‘TO 23905P’ (Abarth internal number 045). Abarth was, and is, a part of the Fiat group and this car was campaigned as an official Lancia Abarth works rally entrant in the 1990 World Rally Championship, piloted by the four-times World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen.

Adorned in the celebrated Martini Racing colours, and with Pironen at his side, they achieved 5th position in 1000 Lakes Rally (bearing race No.2).

Its second triumph in 1990, was as a Jolly Club car, being driven by Cerrato/Cerri, this time in FINA livery, achieving a 4th position in the San Remo rally (bearing race No.4). Finally that year, again as a Jolly Club entrant, Droogmans/Joosten steered the car to 10th place in the RAC Rally (bearing race No.17).

These results are documented in Paolo Alessi’s Lancia Rally Historic Registry and in reference book ‘Lancia Delta HF Integrale, the Story of a Champion’ by Werner Blaettel & Gerhard D Wagner. Importantly, the car is accompanied by an authenticity package from the Jolly Club, including photographs, confirming its status and provenance.

On the 22nd March 1991 the car was transferred to HF-Grifone SRL (with an accompanying invoice) and, now in ESSO colours, was driven

by Tabaton.

As confirmed by accompanying invoices from CECOMP and HFGrifone SRL, during March 1992, the car was converted from 16v to HF Evoluzione (Deltona) specification. CECOMP Spa is an Italian automotive company that specialises in developing prototypes and models for car manufacturers and, at the time, prepared the official cars for Lancia Abarth. Interesting, as this was the first car to be

The Silverstone Classic Race Car Sale 2017

updated, it bears chassis number CECOMP ‘0001’. These EVO modifications effectively gave the car superior handling qualities, enabling it to travel significantly faster over both Tarmac and gravel rally stages.

On the 2nd February 1994, the car was sold to Deila SRL (with an accompanying invoice) and then again on the 27th December 1994 to renowned Lancia/Fiat specialists ‘Walkers Garage Ltd.’ of Yorkshire (with an accompanying invoice). It was campaigned by them, whilst being driven by Steve Smith, achieving three top finishes in the 1995 – 1997 National Rally Championships. In 2000, the car was bought by our vendor, who competed in the 2000 Wales Rally GB and Silverstone Rally Sport events.

During his ownership, our vendor decided to continue to have Walkers Garage Ltd. maintain the car, as they held it in such high admiration and knew it so well. The current specification of the car remains Group A with R090 transmission, IAW 90 engine electronics, and the latest specification Magnetti digital dashboard. In recent years it has covered little mileage and has enjoyed some fresh paintwork. The car has not been modified from original specification, except to satisfy UK RACMSA Rally regulations, and is now in good condition, finished in the classic Martini colours, and set up for Tarmac. The car remains on its original Italian registration TO 23905P and is accompanied by its Italian Rally Logbook.

This is a real opportunity to acquire a rare example of a legendary rally car from a very special era, which could prove a worthy addition to any collection or an extremely capable participant in the historic rally scene.

Super 1600, also known as S1600, is a rally car formula that is primarily used in the Junior World Rally Championship, as well as various national championships. It was devised by the FIA in 2000, with competitive racing commencing in 2001 and still runs today.

Super 1600 is intended to provide a young driver’s entry point into international rallying, and the World Rally Championship in particular.

Like most FIA-approved rally cars, there is a process of homologation in which a suitable production road car design is modified within the limits of a formula’s technical regulations. In the Super 1600 formula, ‘suitable’ is defined as a passenger car that has one driven axle (two-wheel drive) and a four-cylinder engine that is of naturally aspirated configuration with a maximum volume of 1640cc. At the time of homologation, the car must currently or have previously been in serial production.

The production car’s standard gearbox is replaced by a sequential manual gearbox with a maximum of six forward ratios. The engine may be modified to produce a maximum power output of 230hp and the exhaust is subject to a noise restriction of 100dB at 4500rpm.

Super 1600 requires a production-standard body shell that is made safe for competition with the addition of a roll cage. Certain other modifications can be made to increase the width of the bodywork and

14

Registration: NX54 NWA

The Silverstone Classic Race Car Sale 2017

improve its aerodynamic efficiency. The weight of the competition car is reduced to a minimum of 980kg, with a lower minimum weight of 920kg if an engine with only two valves per cylinder is employed. In most cases, this is approximately 50 to 100kg less than the weight of the production car version.

The car presented here was built and used by Fiat for six events, five in 2005 and one in 2006, and during that period was run by the Italian team N-Technology. In December 2007, our UK-based vendor bought the car from N-Technology, collecting it directly from the legendary Chivasso factory. He has since done a total of 18 or so events with some success, notably 2nd in Class A6 in the ANCRO/ MSA Gravel Championship in 2008 and 1st in class A6 in the REIS/ MSA Tarmac Championship in 2011. During our vendor’s ownership, the car has been prepared by Lancia/Fiat specialists ‘Walkers Garage Ltd.’ of Yorkshire, who have maintained the car thoroughly and know it really well. The Punto remains in exactly the same ‘Super 1600’ specification as when it left Fiat, benefiting from a recent respray along with new front bumpers and skirts.

This particular 1980 Ford Capri 3.0S MkIII was purchased by Capri aficionado Dave Thomas some years ago. Like many older race cars, it had lain idle for a while, but the quality of the components used and wiring for multiple lights bore testament to its long-distance race history. Many such cars were built in the UK and raced abroad, with the three-car family-sponsored Belgian Team Willeme being a prime example. Their cars competed in the 1980 24 Hours of SpaFrancorchamps finishing 11th overall driven by French pairing JeanPierre Jaussaud and Jean-Luic Therier – it is these colours that the car bears today. Its first confirmed UK racetrack sighting was at the Willhire 25-hour race in 1989 in the hands of Alex Rogan, who raced extensively in that era.

The Ford Capri was a dominant force in Saloon Car racing during the early 1970s, driven by legends such as Gordon Spice, Stuart Graham and Brian Muir. Easily adapted and set up for racing, it was a popular choice for the professional and club driver alike. Certain ‘names’ would come up on a regular basis when ‘winning’ was being discussed, names like CC Racing run by Dave Cook and Peter Clark, Neil Brown engines and Gordon Spice. Fortunately, the performance developments they originated are widely available today.

‘964’ is Porsche’s internal designation for the version of their 911 manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994. Designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models; most prominently in the way that the bumpers, spoilers and wheel arches blended cohesively into the bodywork. It was the first iteration of the 911 to be offered with Porsche’s ‘Tiptronic’ automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as options. Porsche chose to reuse the 3.3-litre, turbocharged engine from the 930 with several minor revisions that made the engine smoother, less prone to turbo lag, and more powerful with a total output of 320bhp at 5,750rpm. The sleek silhouette of the 964 was indicative of Porsche’s new design philosophy and is regarded in hindsight as one of the prettiest 911s ever built and certainly, in-period, was one of the most powerful.

This Porsche 964 Turbo began life as a 3.3 road-registered car and was finished in Rubystone Red. The mileage is reading just 55,000 miles but unfortunately, the car was subject to a Category C insurance write off a number of years ago. However, this led the owner to create the car that you see today. It has been completely rebuilt to a high standard and represents a superb opportunity to race or track-day this very special and very fast Porsche.

The car was fitted with a fully welded cage, GT2 spoiler, racing seats, uprated brakes, fire extinguisher, extended wheel arches and treated to a bare metal respray in Rubystone Red. In addition, the engine has been rebuilt and a bespoke aluminium intercooler has been fitted. All this work was carried out within the last 1,000 miles and so the car today presents very well indeed. We encourage pre-sale inspections on this incredible track weapon and prospective bidders should contact the office for further information.

Over the course of the next few years, many famous drivers including Jim Clark OBE, Graham Hill OBE, Peter Arundell, Jacky Ickx, Jack Sears and Sir John Whitmore would achieve notable success driving the works Cortinas of Team Lotus. In addition to numerous victories in individual races, Jim Clark OBE won the 1964 British Saloon Car Championship outright and Jack Sears achieved a class win the following year, however, one of the greatest successes was achieved, not in a Team Lotus works car, but in one of the Alan Mann Racing cars when, in 1965, Sir John Whitmore won the European Touring Car Championship with an incredible eight class victories and six outright wins from nine starts.

This, well-presented, ‘Lotus’ Cortina started life in 1965 as a lefthand drive Ford Cortina 1200 and was delivered new to Denmark where it was registered and used for many years as a road car. The fact that it had a Danish Registration Certificate would ease the process of registering the car here in the UK should a new owner prefer to use it on Road Rallies etc.

The owner before our vendor was a well-known Danish saloon car racer in the past and had competed at the Roskilde Ring and other Danish circuits in Minis, an Escort BDA, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Capri and others. He had not been looking for a Cortina but, at the time, was working as a salesman at a Ford dealer and this Cortina came in as a part-exchange against a new car. It had obviously been cared for, and it seemed a shame to ‘trade’ it, so he purchased it for himself to use as a ‘Sunday’ classic.

From its inception, the Ford Cortina Lotus was designed as a quick, modern road car, however, its ‘raison d’être’ was undoubtedly Motorsport. It appeared in its first race a mere nine months after its introduction in January 1963 and only a few weeks after becoming generally available, announcing its arrival by taking 3rd and 4th place at the Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting in September of that year. Whilst based on a production two-door Ford body shell, Lotus Cortinas were far from standard and featured uprated engines, brakes, suspension and lightened bodies. Other visible exterior changes included the factory colour scheme of Ermine White with a Sherwood Green stripe and the fitting of front quarter bumpers and discreet Lotus badges.

However, with classic saloon car racing going from strength to strength in Denmark (as it was throughout Europe) the racing ‘bug’ returned and he decided to prepare his Sunday car for the circuits.

With our vendor’s help sourcing parts from the UK (they were old friends), the Cortina was initially prepared as a 1500GT in 2001 and they went racing and sprinting with our vendor looking after the mechanics. The engine was later changed to a Lotus Twin-Cam and the car prepared, pretty much, as a ‘Lotus Cortina’.

In 2007/8, the car was purchased by our vendor and he decided to invest in a bit of a rebuild. The plan was to race it in Denmark and Sweden as part of a three-car team and, as the other two Cortinas were finished in their team colours of Venetian Red with a Silver stripe, it was appropriate to paint this car in these colours.

The all-steel, 168bhp, twin-cam was rebuilt by respected Swedish tuner Roger Svensson in Halmstad and has only been used for two sprint races since. The power is fed through a Quaife close-ratio gearbox with alloy bell housing and on to a Salisbury limited-slip differential with a 4.44 CWP. The suspension is mainly Leda with adjustable shocks on the rear. The front brakes are Lotus Cortina with a Cortina GT set up at the rear. The fuel tank is legal and in date but is fairly small and only suitable for sprints, however, it would be easy to change. Please note that the seat and harness are now out of date and will need replacing before the next outing.

Basically, the car has been built to comply with FIA-Appendix K regulations, Period F, Class TC8 and has a current DASU (Historic Vehicle Identity Form), which will enable it to run in a number of championships, however, an FIA HTP will be required to run in U2TC. The Cortina is supplied with four original Lotus steel wheels and four Minilites all with tyres, and is fitted with a transponder and an AMB in-car display for accurate lap timing.

Competition Lotus Cortina prices continue to climb and, at this guide, this well-presented and carefully built car looks like a very sensible way into ‘60s saloon car racing.

This Porsche Boxster racer was built in 2016 by Birmingham-based EMC Motorsport. The basis of the car is a 2003, 986 road car that originally had a 2.7 engine, so was not fitted with the traction control or PSM systems that can confuse the ABS on some later 3.2 cars. EMC Motorsport built a new 3.2 race engine in 2016 and at the same time fitted a newer and lower-ratio five-speed gearbox.

Our vendor enjoyed racing the car last year in the CSCC Modern Classics and CSCC Open Series. He informs us the car could also be eligible for a number of other series at club level including the Porsche Club Championship, Toyo Tyres Porsche Championship, CSCC Modern Classics, CSCC Open Series, CSCC New Millennium, 750mc Club Enduro, 750mc Roadsports, Welsh Sports & Saloons, CNC Heads Sports/Saloons Championship, Northern Saloon & Sportscar Championship, and the MSV Track day Championship.

In terms of the car’s specification, the 3.2 engine is reported to produce 270bhp and has been mapped by ‘Superchips’. An X51 sump and breather isolation kit are fitted, along with an updated map to the ECU. The flywheel has been lightened and a lightweight ‘Red Top 30’ battery, along with Anderson plug-fitted. A full FIA multipoint roll cage has been welded into the car and the six-point harness and Cobra Suzuka Pro seat are both in-date. The OMP

steering wheel has a quick release boss and the interior of the car has been painted to match the outside.

The suspension has Gaz Gold adjustable coil overs, front and rear Eibach adjustable anti-roll bars, a Kaaz LSD is fitted, and a full geoalignment and chassis setup have been completed by Centre Gravity.

The five-speed gearbox is from a 40,000-mile standard road car fitted with a ‘quick-shift’. New catalytic converters are fitted along with a stainless steel exhaust rear box. Retardation of this rapid Boxster is helped by GT3 brake ducts on the front and there are additional front and rear brake ducts directing cooling air on to the calipers.

Included with the car are three sets of spare wheels and tyres (vendor values around £2.5k) and a very useful ‘VBOX’ system (vendor values around £800) making this a very affordable package with little additional expenditure necessary before you can ‘go racing’.

This cracking little Porsche offers an excellent entry into motorsport and would be eligible for at least a dozen championships, so no matter where you live in the UK, a weekend of tremendous fun could be just down the road.

In 1991 the British Touring Car Championship regulations changed from multi-class, Group A regs to the new two-litre formula in the hope of building up the grids and providing closer racing. It was very successful, attracting many more manufacturers and providing the competitors and viewers with some of the closest racing the series had seen in many years.

In order to comply, many of the BMW teams altered their existing Group A cars with ballast and a reduction in engine capacity to two-litre. This was not the case for Vic Lee Motorsport as they completely re-engineered the most successful touring car of the Group A period to fully take advantage of the new two-litre formula regulations. The Vic Lee built BMW E30 M3s boasted a range of modifications that, in today’s parlance, involved ‘thinking outside of the box’. For example: the fuel tank was relocated to optimise the car’s centre of gravity, a flat floor section was used as was a side exit exhaust. Although utilising BMW Motorsport’s latest rear suspension components, front uprights and in-car adjustable antiroll bars, the VLM cars also benefited from a host of geometric alterations (thanks to engineer David Potter) and also utilised a Hollinger 6-speed dog engagement gearbox, all adding up to produce the most competitive BMW and the ‘car of the season’

We are excited to offer this ex-Tim Harvey, Labatt’s sponsored, 1991 BMW E30 M3 - one of the five built by Vic Lee Motorsport for the ‘91 British Touring Car Championship. Tim took this car to one outright win in the series finale at Silverstone, and two podiums, en route to claiming 8th place in the championship by season end.

We’re informed that this wonderful piece of 90s Touring Car history has retained its original livery throughout its existence and has been part of private collections since 1992. More recently it has been persuaded from retirement, race-prepared, and has been doing battle in the HSCC Super Touring Car Challenge running alongside other BMW M3s whilst mixing it with later generation machinery. This iconic E30 M3 offers a gateway into numerous historic championships and as demand rapidly increases for genuine examples of these dynamic machines, finding a competitive car with this level of provenance will become increasingly difficult. Genuine period Group A BMW M3s are now becoming recognised as an excellent investment, particularly as the FIA has now recognised the period and created a class in which the M3 is fiercely competitive.

With the Cosworth RS500, Ford transformed the humble Ford Sierra into a proven race winner, completing 500 in order to homologate the model for 1987. The actual build was outsourced to Aston Martin’s Tickford operation and all 500 cars, based on the threedoor Sierra, were sold in the UK. Under the bonnet, Cosworth’s YDB engine had a stronger block, Garrett T31/T04 turbocharger with a bigger intercooler and fuel pump, uprated oil and cooling systems and better induction. The model won the 1987 World Touring Car Championship (in fact it proved so dominant the series was cancelled!), managed no less than 40 straight victories in the BTCC (a record that still stands) plus consecutive wins at Bathurst in 1989-1990.

Tim Harvey A prolific racing driver from Farnborough, Tim was highly successful in touring car races during the 1980s and 1990s driving for seven different manufacturers, winning the British Touring Car Championship in 1992 with BMW, and amassing 16 wins and 48 podiums.

He later drove for Spice in the World Sportscar Championship, before enjoying half a dozen successful seasons in the Porsche Carrera Cup from 2004 until 2010 finishing second in 2004, 2006 and 2007 before triumphing in 2008 and topping that with nine wins out of the first 10 races in 2010 to dominate the championship again that year. He remains the Porsche Championship’s most successful driver with 35 wins and over 150 podiums.

Amongst a number of BRDC, Charity and Media commitments, Tim remains a household name for his knowledgeable and witty commentary for ITV covering the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.

This car Built by Andy Rouse Engineering and raced with Labatt’s sponsorship by Tim Harvey, this car has a good BTCC history (finishing 7th overall in 1989 and 3rd overall in 1990) and won outright at Thruxton and Donington in ‘89. It was continuously

The Silverstone Classic Race Car Sale 2017

updated and fitted with a Getrag 5-speed gearbox, viscous LSD and more. In late 1990 the car, which is believed to be the only Labatt’s Sierra surviving in original BTCC specification, became part of Martin Johnson’s private collection of ex-race Sierras before eventually being sold in Australia in September 2008. It was never raced there but used for the occasional demonstration, including the Muscle Car Masters at Eastern Creek, but was kept fully maintained, before being purchased by Paul Smith and returned to the UK with an eye on the developing Super Tourer Championship.

The dream was to come true in 2013 when Paul persuaded Tim to form a team to contest the two rounds of the Super Touring Car Trophy during the Silverstone Classic in July. Having not driven the car for over 20 years, Tim was given a brief chance to reignite his passion for the iconic winged wondercar during a days testing the 560bhp machine at Silverstone.

“It’s absolutely as it was after my final race,” he reported. “It must be the most original Cosworth Sierra still out there right down to the switches and stickers.

He obviously became comfortable with the car quite quickly as the team qualified third, and Tim placed his old chariot second in the race on Saturday with the fastest lap to boot.

During 2014, the engine was fully rebuilt by David Mountain’s Essex based ‘Mountune’, leading motorsport engine builders.

The car has been maintained in a ‘race-ready’ condition and is offered for sale at Silverstone Auctions pretty much on-thebutton. We at Silverstone and the vendor are so confident about this wonderful RS that, included in the sale price, is an entry for Saturday’s Super Touring Car race (29th July) and should the car’s new owner not be able to oblige, Tim Harvey has said he will happily be reunited with his old racer.

A remarkable opportunity to own one of the most recognised and admired Touring Cars in motorsport’s history and spend a day with one of motorsport’s nicest guys.

During the next 1967/68 season the competition department came under Chrysler control and the works Imps (those that were prepared by Rootes’ Competition Department to be used in rallies by the works drivers, such as JDU46E), used a 998cc engine.

This was achieved by boring right out, and re-sleeving, on selected blocks, to a bore of 72.5mm. Wells Rings. Stroke remained unchanged at 60.4mm. It had a Smiths Tachometer, Lotus Cortina calibrated speedo, and ancillary gauges in a cluster behind the steering wheel. Its suspension was altered significantly with stronger springs and shock absorbers and the cars were fitted with a full rollover bar and harnesses, Halda Twinmaster, Smiths/Heuer Mastertime, and stopwatches. They had bigger radiators and an oil cooler, high-lift camshaft, twin SUs or Strombergs, larger valves, double valve springs, special Aston Martin exhaust manifold, and a compression ratio of 10.5 to 1. A small front mounted radiator accompanied the small rear header tank and they were joined by red-painted water pipes running straight through the inside of the cars. The specification also included body air scoops to feed the engine, competition suspension, Ferodo Brakes with VG95/1 antifade linings, vacuum servos, a Triplex heated windscreen with large plastic anti-mist rear windows. GRP Bonnet and Boot, Alloy Fuel Tank with wood dip fuel gauge, and Steel Wheels with Dunlop SP44 radial ‘Weathermasters’.

At the end of this season, with the introduction of the Mk1 Escort to the Rally scene and the Imps inability to compete on power, the Rootes Competition Department switched from preparing works cars to supporting private teams and drivers, and in 1969 Chrysler withdrew from official rallying.

JDU 46E COMPETITION HISTORY Driven by Peter Harper/Robin Turvey the car debuted in the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally with the allocated No 170 and finished 2nd in the Group 3 Class and 46th overall and awarded the Challenge Trophy.

The works homologated the Rally Imp as a ‘Group 3’ car for 1966. Badged as Hillmans, Singers or Sunbeams, the Rally Imps boasted 998cc twin-carburetor engines, servo-assisted brakes, better engine cooling and competition suspension among many other improvements. Driving a works Imp, Rosemary Smith won the 1965 Tulip Rally (a handicap event) outright and went on to secure numerous Coupes des Dames and class wins, while other prominent Imp exponents included Peter Harper, Roy Fidler, Andrew Cowan and Colin Malkin.

Not bad for the gruelling, 3,400-mile event.

Driven by Peter Harper/ David Pollard went on to compete in the 1967 Tulip Rally with the allocated No 89 and achieved its best international rally result coming 2nd in class and 10th overall.

Driven by Roy Fidler/Alan Taylor competed in the 1967 Alpine Rally/Coupe des Alpes with the allocated No 83 but retired due to head gasket problems.

The car was also used as a service car by Des O’Dell the Rootes Competition Manager in the Circuit of Ireland Rally and Scottish Rally in the same year.

JDU 46E was prepared for the November 1967 RAC Rally to be driven by Rosemary Smith/Val Morley and allocated No 5. Due to the outbreak of ‘Foot and Mouth’ and the movement restrictions put in place, the 1967 RAC Rally was cancelled at the 11th hour leaving many disappointed Teams, Drivers and Spectators already in situ. To overcome this understandable disappointment, the Rally organisers, using nearby MOD land not affected by the restrictions, put on what has come to be known as a ‘Rally Cross’ and this was the first rally cross event to be televised, and JDU46E driven by Rosemary Smith was a proud entrant.

In 1968, the car was converted to a ‘Group 6’ spec, which is how it remains. In 1969, after Chrysler withdrew from official rallying it is believed that JDU 46E was kept on by Rootes for a number of years as a Service Car before been sold for private rallies. Years later, it was discovered by an avid Imp fan being used amongst other cars in a grass track racing business. He approached the owner and bought it and kept it very much private in his collection for years until our vendor was lucky enough to purchase it.

The paintwork is rather flat and carries numerous battle scars from its competition life and it could not by any means be described as a show car, however, the engine has been verified as being the engine prepared for Rosemary Smith, and its patina, provenance, and the fact that it was piloted by the legendary Rosemary Smith, the talented, glamorous and witty ‘Queen’ of the sixties rallying scene, mean that this little rally car fits very neatly into the annals of British Rallying History.

Our vendor has generously agreed to include in the sale, the original Monte Carlo and Tulip Rally finishing awards and papers along with the DVD footage, original photographs, and further related automobilia from the 1967 season.

This 1961 FIA MkII 3.8 Jaguar has been subject to a full restoration over the past five years, with a full photographic record that is included in the history file. The car was built with the specific intention of racing in the annual Spa Six Hours endurance race but, having been put together strictly in accordance with FIA Regulations, it will obviously qualify for several other race series, both here and abroad, that take place under the auspices of the FIA. All work carried out to the car was done with the vision of creating an ‘appreciation’ of the ‘works cars’ as raced by Hill, Salvadori, Hulme, Moss, Clark and others in the early 1960s, and the car does indeed look the part with the exception of those changes made to meet modern safety requirements.

Exact details of the appropriate spec. were gathered from a number of well-known Jaguar experts, including Peter Wilson (exJag Competitions Dept and author of ‘Cat Out of the Bag’), the legendary Norman Dewis, and ex-Jaguar test driver Peter Bell who is a mine of information on the MkII and the son of Ken Bell formerly of Coombs.

we’re informed helps to reduce brake knock-off. The rear suspension has lowered springs, strengthened components (as per the ‘Works’ cars), adjustable Spax shock absorbers, Polybushes, reinforced Panhard Rod fittings, a Thornton ‘Power Lock’ LSD and strengthened half-shafts.

The fully fitted roll cage can be removed if required, and the fuel tank holds 30 gallons with twin SU fuel pumps. A number of bodywork modifications have been undertaken replicating the original works cars and the side windows are ‘Lexon’ polycarbonate.

Both front and rear screens are heated, a Lifeline fire system has been fitted, and the seat and harness are reported to be in-date.

Supplied with new wheels with Dunlop M section tyres, the aforementioned history file, a dyno set-up sheet (Aldon Automotive.

December ‘16), and a valid MOT certificate, this lovely old Jaguar certainly looks like a very effective historic racer and may well offer exclusive access (regulations permitting) to a number of prestige Historic Motorsport events around Europe.

Power comes from a 3.8 built to the correct ‘homologation spec’ using new components with all engine machining carried out by Chesman Motorsport in Coventry. The components include: 9.1 competition pistons, high-lift cams, flowed head, and larger valves, all fully balanced and lightened as required. The fuel is supplied by a couple of SU HD8s and exhaust gasses are dealt with by a bespoke system from ‘Ecosse Motorsport’ in Girvan. A high-torque starter motor gets everything spinning and a ‘Kenlowe’ fan aids engine cooling.

The gearbox is an early Moss, non-overdrive example and the brakes use new BG calipers with slightly larger bores to meet homologation requirements.The front suspension is as standard with Poly-bushed components and one-degree negative-camber. A standard anti-roll bar is fitted but the car is supplied with a thicker Harvey Bailey bar along with a short-ratio steering rack for events where these parts are allowed. Furthermore, there are lowered coil springs with increased poundage (Coombs spec.), adjustable Spax shock absorbers and a Chris Adams wheel bearing adjustment kit, which

Looking like a cross between a mechanical grasshopper and a fairground ride, “The Asteroid” was responsible for ensuring that the names of Brian Lister, Archie Scott-Brown, John Tojeiro and Don Moore will always remain in the annals of motorsport history First registered on 21/04/1952 and intended for race, hill climbs and sprint use, the Tojeiro-JAP was notable as (a) the first car to bear a `BHL’ (Brian Horace Lister) chassis number, (b) the second Tojeiro made and (c) the machine that put Archie Scott-Brown on the map.

Inspired by an Autocar article in which J. Onslow Bartlett had extolled the virtues of mating a modified Jowett Jupiter four-speed manual gearbox to the well-proven JAP 1100cc air-cooled V-Twin, Brian Lister chose a similar drivetrain for chassis BHL 1. Bodied in aluminium (except for the fabric covered tail), and wearing simple mudguards to comply with contemporary sports car regulations, the Tojeiro-JAP boasted an excellent power-to-weight ratio and low centre of gravity.

Nicknamed `The Asteroid’ by its creator, the two-seater proved quick with Brian Lister aboard but nigh on unbeatable once Archie Scott Brown took the wheel. Part of Lister’s circle alongside renowned engine tuner Don Moore, Scott Brown won some eleven races or classes aboard the Tojeiro-JAP during 1952 - 1953 at Snetterton, Silverstone, Prescott and Thruxton.

Keen to acquire a car that would be dominant in its class, Peter Hughes - another of Brian Lister’s friends - began campaigning `The Asteroid’ from the summer of 1953 onwards. Having progressed to the Tojeiro-JAP via a Delahaye and Allard, Hughes extended its winning streak at Shelsey Walsh, Prescott, Charterhall, Bo’ness, Crimond and Barbon etc. Although, arguably his most impressive result came during the Daily Record & Newcastle Journal International Race Meeting at Charterhall on 6th August 1955 when he piloted the two-seater to fourth place overall against larger-engined Connaught ALSR, Lotus and Elva opposition.

A sometime ‘Ecurie Ecosse’ driver, Hughes was tragically killed in a road accident on the return journey from Le Mans where he had been assisting the team as a timekeeper. Thereafter, the Tojeiro-JAP is known to have passed through the hands of G.M.G. Oliver, Alistair Dent

Hutton, Northern Sports Cars Ltd, Peter Jones, W. Richard Heylings, John Pacey, Richard Procter, John Baker, Jeremy Wade, Jonathan Bradburn and Frank Gourlay before entering the current ownership during late 2009.

Discovered in a barn minus much of its original bodywork and drivetrain (the latter having been modified or replaced over time), the Tojeiro-JAP was extensively restored over the next few years. Still carrying its original `BHL 1’ stamping, the chassis was refurbished to original specification as was the suspension.

Road registered as `3 DPT’ (the last of its period number plates which was issued in September 1959) the Tojeiro-JAP is capable of road as well as race use. Powered by an authentic JAP 1100cc V-Twin allied to an equally correct Jowett Jupiter four-speed transmission, it remains a truly invigorating drive with more performance to come if the engine were to be set-up for methanol. Rewarded with a 1st-in-class upon its return to the Bo’ness hill climb during September 2012, the two-seater claimed another 1st-in-class at Shelsey Walsh last May and enjoyed an outing at Castle Combe.

A historically significant motorcar, chassis BHL 1 is offered for sale with an interesting history file (including a copy of its first buff logbook) and the MSA Historic Technical Passport.

Created by British designer Eric Broadley during more than four decades at the helm of Lola Cars, the T212 was a very successful sports car and went on to win races at all sorts of venues and international ‘Blue Riband’ events.

In 1958, with the help of his cousin, Graham Broadley, Eric built a sports-racing car, powered by a Coventry Climax engine, around a tubular steel space frame chassis of his own design. The creation was immediately quick and in 1959 it proved itself to be a serious rival to the previously unbeatable Lotus Eleven. Following a crash at Goodwood that resulted in a trip to hospital, Broadley then made the decision that his future lay in the design and fabrication of racing cars, rather than driving them.

with the car whilst in their ownership. The current owner acquired the car in 2009 following an engine refresh (Geoff Richardson) and has only competed in a small number of events including the World Sports Car Masters at Brands Hatch in 2010. The little Lola has also enjoyed a few outings in Irish Historic races in recent years and the engine has currently covered 650 race miles.

The car comes with a good history file, a full set of slicks, four spare wheels with wets fitted, its Historic Technical Passport, and it is race-ready. Superbly prepared and attractively finished in Cream and Blue, this fabulous Lola T212 is well known in historic circles and naturally would be made very welcome at the world’s most prestigious sports car events.

The Lola T212 offered here was constructed in 1971 and designed for two-litre sports car ‘Group 6’ competition. This car is Chassis number HU 37 and was the very last 212 built by Lola (1 of 36). HU 37 was sold new to Canadian brothers Maurice and Roger McCaig in 1971, however, probably due to the distance between circuits in the USA and Canada, it appears they did not compete in many events. There is some evidence showing them classified 9th at the Daytona 6 Hours, a race that was won by Andretti and Ickx in a Ferrari 312PB. They also competed at Sebring and Watkins Glen in the 1972 Championship.

The car was then sold into the Baker family collection and raced

by Duncan Baker in the late 80s and early 90s in historic events. It continued to be maintained in this collection without being raced for a number of years until it was offered for sale when Baker’s father passed away and his sons had lost interest. In 2006, the car was purchased by David Gathercole in the UK. He fully restored the car in 2006 from the ground up, using the original chassis frames but re-skinning the tub. The engine frames have the original Arch Motors numbers on them. The car was fitted with a brand new Richardson FVC (Ford Cosworth 1790cc) in 2007. Following this complete rebuild, HU 37 was purchased by Anthony Hancock(U.K.) in 2007.

The car won at Donington and the Silverstone Classic ‘World Sports Car Masters’ in 2008, and they also competed in the Le Mans Classic in 2008. The Hancock family completed only 1,800 miles

The hugely-successful Chevron B8 first appeared in 1968, usually with BMW two-litre engines but also with the Ford FVA, FVC and occasionally the Lotus-Climax. It was homologated into FIA Group 4 Sports Cars from 1 March 1968 on the basis that 50 were built (reduced to 25 in 1969). To help Chevron Cars achieve the required number (on paper), every rebuild was listed as a new car - a habit that would continue into the B16, B19 and even the B21 and, no doubt, was a practice common to other builders of limited production racing cars. In the end, 44 of the original cars were completed.

Often described as one of the greatest racing cars of all time, the B8 was fast, forgiving and delightful. In common with the Lotus Elan and the BMW E30 M3, it was one of those cars that would not punish you for a temporary ‘loss of talent’ and would quietly sort itself out whilst you were considering ‘Plan B’. As now, it was capable of humiliating the top GTs in period at short circuits like Crystal Palace or Brands Indy where dicing with GT40s was a regular occurrence.

supplied new in 2010 and in total it has only covered 800 race miles, competing most recently at Spa in 2014. The car has current FIA/HTP papers, signed off in 2014, endorsing its conformity to the original specification. It’s in race-ready condition having been prepared by Crossle Racing cars with all the safety items in date, and there are four spare wheels with new wet tyres.

This beautiful little Chevron B8 looks fabulous in Banana Yellow and is nicely detailed throughout. It would be equally at home at Sprints or a Hillclimb but is undoubtedly the most cost-effective route into Historic GT racing around the UK, or is a passport into the world’s finest events. Either way, they are competitive cars and the B8’s predictability and excellent manners can turn even an average driver into a winner.

Offered here is a ‘Continuation’ Chevron B8 completed in 2010 by Vin Malkie of Chevron Racing Ltd. and powered by a new BMW M10, built and supplied by L.H.Owen. The gearbox is a Hewland FT200

This is a very rare ex-Works Group A Toyota Supra and is chassis number 00056255, which was raced by the late, great ex-Motorcycle World Champion Barry Sheene in-period. It features a 2759cc, straight 6, DOHC Group A Toyota engine and was raced by Barry in the 1985 BTCC, known then as the Trimoco RAC British Saloon Car Championship.

Two years prior in 1983, Toyota UK had first entered a Supra in the BTCC, prepared by Hughes of Beaconsfield and driven by the legendary Win Percy. Their early successes included 6th at Silverstone GP support and 3rd at Donington Park. Win carried on as the official Toyota works driver as the car was developed for a second season in 1984, which resulted in a pole position and win at Brands Hatch, and a pole and second position at Donington Park.

By 1985, the future champion and future star of Group C and Le Mans, Win Percy, was moving on from Toyota. However, Hughes of Beaconsfield were still running the car for Toyota UK with Gordon Mayers still as Team Manager. At the same time, Barry Sheene was retiring from professional motorcycle Grand Prix racing and won the hotly contested Toyota works drive, following outings in the BTCC with the smaller Corolla and also following a specific test at Goodwood where he was just 0.4 seconds slower than Win. A fine fifth place at the opening Silverstone round was a good start, then a DNF at Oulton was followed by an impressive 3rd place at Thruxton. However, following Donington Park the next round, also at Thruxton, was to be eventful. A first lap six-car crash left the car badly damaged and it had to be hastily re-shelled for the next round at Silverstone only two weeks later where it impressively achieved 3rd place overall in the hands of Sheene. Chassis number 00056255 is this re-shelled car driven by Barry for the remainder of the season, regularly achieving top six results.

This left-hand drive 1971 Ford Capri was built in Cologne, Germany and sold new to the USA. It spent some time as a roadcar and was later converted to a national oval racer. In 2011, the vehicle was imported to the UK and purchased by our vendor as a rolling shell in September 2012. The shell was found in remarkably rust-free condition and he set about a painstaking five-year restoration.

The Ford Capri was a dominant force in saloon car racing during the early 70s, driven by legends such as Gordon Spice, Stuart Graham and Brian (Yogi) Muir. Easily adapted and set up for racing, it was a popular choice for the professional and club driver alike.

Equally, it would make a superb museum piece. The vendor informs us that: “the car is on the button and requires very little in order to race... it also sounds awesome!”

We welcome pre-sale inspections and encourage prospective bidders to contact the office for further information. This faithful homage of the iconic Works Ford Capris would be a welcome addition to any collection.

As a lifelong Capri racer and enthusiast, the vendor’s idea was to accurately recreate one of the three Capris that raced at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1972, specifically Number 52, the Dieter Glemsar, Alex Soler-Roig car that finished 11th overall. The restoration was managed by our vendor using many Ford specialists and was finished by Tickover Classic Ford in Dartford. The finished article is a joy to behold and must be seen to be appreciated. The bodywork, paintwork and livery have been completed to a high standard and significant time has been spent ensuring period details are all present and correct, such as badges, trim and chrome.

The specification is as follows: John Toovey 2.9 Cologne V6 race engine, producing 255bhp, downdraught Weber Carburettor, race clutch, alloy bell housing, 52-inch Atlas axle fitted with Quaife semifloating half shafts, rear disk brakes, new German ZF limited slip differential, 3.6 ratio (Gartrac built), adjustable top mounts, Gaz coil over front struts, and disc brakes at the rear. Additional features include solid-mounted rear race leaf springs, Koni shock absorbers at the rear, Gaz coil over shock absorbers at the rear (Watts Linkage if wanted to be fitted at a later date), race radiator, Image bolt-on BBS style wheels, period FIA Recaro seats, period Britax belts, and an FIA-spec roll cage. A photographic album documents the entire build and is included in the sale.

This Capri is now ready for use and would make an ideal circuit or road-rally companion in the right hands. It can be UK-registered for road-rally use or if the new owner were to obtain FIA papers, it would be eligible for some of the world’s biggest circuit events.

1964 Crosslé 7S C7/S64/18

This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Dr John Crosslé MBE’s earliest and most celebrated sports racing cars during the 60th anniversary year of the company he founded.

Developed from the earlier 5S sports racer, the 7S had revised suspension geometry, wider magnesium wheels and Girling aluminium brake calipers. As noted in Rosemary Crosslé’s handwritten order book, C7-S64-18 was completed in December 1964 with a Cosworth-Ford Twin Cam 1600 and Hewland five-speed gearbox. Three more 7S models were built during 1965.

The exploits of this car and its first owner Mervyn Wingfield, 10th Viscount Powerscourt, are recounted in “Hidden Glory, The Story of the Crosslé Car Company” and several French books. Wingfield and teammate Jim Cooney were the first Crosslé drivers to compete in continental Europe against top drivers and constructors of the day. Cooney’s car, C7-S65-25, was driven by road and ferry from the factory in Northern Ireland to its first race at Solitude near Stuttgart, where the pair finished 6th and 9th on 18 July 1965.

At the Coupe de Paris on 19 September 1965 at the Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry, Wingfield set the fastest lap and finished second to Robert Huber in a field that included Lotus 23, Elva BMW, Porsche 904 and Ferrari GTO. Photographs in ‘Les Instantés de Montlhéry, 1963-1970’ include the Viscount in his road-taxed 7S pre-race, while wonderful race film appears at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=mvyFJS5ChxE.

Currently fitted with ‘Mag 8’ split rim alloy wheels and Dunlop historic tyres, the car will be sold along with the cast alloy wheels pictured here and additional bodywork. The Crosslé factory can supply every part for the 7S to original specifications, often from stock, along with technical and historical support from unique factory archives.

Smartly finished in a distinctive ‘Smalt Blue’, C7-S64-18 is in excellent condition and ready to race. The Guards Trophy with HSCC is an obvious option, where younger sister C7-S65-25 has taken class wins at the Oulton Park Gold Cup and other events.

In 1966, five Crosslé 7S and 9S sports cars entered the Lavant Cup at Goodwood, and C7-S65-25 raced in the Madgwick Cup at the 2016 Goodwood Revival.

This car has a rich and colourful history, unassailable provenance, and an ongoing association with the Crosslé factory since 1964. It is a rare and distinctive alternative to ubiquitous English products, with period results that underline its potential in historic racing today.

C7-S64-18 was restored in 2014 at the same factory where Crosslé built this chassis fifty years before. Bodywork and many parts were renewed, non-period modifications removed and a new FIA HTP obtained, valid from November 2014.

A new Twin-Cam 1600 was supplied by George Wadsworth of Racing Fabrications and used only for a handful of track days (under four running hours). Detailed invoices for the engine and full details of the Crosslé restoration work are part of a comprehensive documentation package, which includes ‘carte grise’ road registration and other documents from recent decades in French ownership.

According to Lotus Archives, Elan S1, Chassis Number 26/0308, left Lotus Cars on 9/12/1963 and was shipped to the Ecurie Shirlee Distribution Corp. in Manhattan Beach, California. Run by the legendary character and racer, Bob Challman, Ecurie Shirlee were Lotus dealers and distributors for many years and played a major part in the success of Lotus on the West Coast. We have no further information about the Elan’s history for the next few years, but imagine that a smart little British sports car in Southern California in the ‘60s would have enjoyed an interesting life.

We move forward to late 2009 when 26/0308 returned to the UK and was registered on 11/11/2009. It was now the property of Paul Tooms and formed part of his plans to compete in UK motorsport and the HSCC-Historic Road Sports Championship in particular.

The car was entrusted to Witchampton Garage in Wimborne to be race-prepared. There are box files of information regarding the car’s initial build and ongoing development, obviously far too much to list here, but details of all this will be available from our Documents Office at the time of the sale, or prior to that by contacting Silverstone Auctions.

Over the next four years, 26/0308 (now BPR 559A) was campaigned with unparalleled success in HSCC-Historic Road Sports-Class ‘C’.

In the hands of Paul Tooms it won this championship outright in 2011 and 2012 before the car was sold to Roger Waite who was also a talented ‘pedaler’ winning outright at Thruxton, Silverstone International, and Silverstone Finals during 2013, and winning the HRS Class ‘C’ in 2015.

Smirthwaite - less than three hours running Recently rebuilt gearbox by Competition Transmissions Brand new genuine Lotus chassis (£1,595) Body completely restored and resprayed The Elan is accompanied by the aforementioned Passports, its V5C, acres of invoices, correspondence with Lotus and the DVLA, and, most importantly, lots of detailed running instructions, set-up sheets, operating instructions, lap times etc. Currently on SORN and the last MOT certificate expired in March 2016.

Now the property of Ginetta racer, Patrick Ward-Booth, BPR did not run in 2016 but was subject to a total rebuild and, once again, the history file contains all the details, but to summarise:

There is an old adage that says that ‘Motor Racing is not expensive, it’s winning that’s expensive’ and whilst that’s true, winning cars are often the cheapest to run. It’s the years of changing components, trying different setups, frequently going the wrong way, the occasional corner-removing spin chasing the right balance, and testing, testing, testing, that puts stress-fractures on your credit card. This little Elan is ready to go: open the notes, check the best tyre pressures and likely fuel consumption at Brands, quick spanner-check, torque-up the wheel nuts, jump in, and if you are a reasonably quick driver (and why would you go motor racing if you didn’t believe that was the case), stick it on the front row.

All-steel Smirthwaite engine, built and maintained by John

We, at Silverstone Auctions, look forward to being there on that day.

At the end of 2015, the decision was taken to sell BPR but not before all the paperwork had been brought up-to-date. The FIAHistoric Technical Passport was renewed (FIA Class-GTS10) and is valid until the end of 2025, and the car has a current HSCC Identity Form for ‘Period F - Class C’.

James had begun concentrating on the manufacture of two-strokepowered lightweights in the 1930s and continued the policy after WW2. Its first post-war models were the ML, a 122cc Villiersengined machine derived from a successful military design, and an autocycle. Autocycles were immensely popular in the years immediately following WW2, offering the prospect of affordable two-wheeled transport in a period of severe austerity. Like the mopeds of the 1950s and the definitive machine of this type - the Honda 50 - autocycles were aimed at a non-enthusiast mass market, offering simplicity of operation and, often, a degree of weather protection not enjoyed by larger and more powerful machines. A rigid-framed machine fitted with tubular girder forks, the James Superlux autocycle was powered by a 98cc Villiers Junior de Luxe

With its 916cc, fuel-injected, 4-valves-per-cylinder desmodromic, liquid-cooled, 90° V-twin, Ducati’s 916 was an instant classic as soon as it was shown to the world. Built for five years before evolving into the 996, this bike was one of Massimo Tamburini’s crowning achievements. Though it produced less horsepower than the Japanese competition, it was more torquey, and no bike from anywhere could compete on looks. In 1998, the Guggenheim featured an exhibit called ‘The Art of the Motorcycle’ and the 916 was one of the few modern bikes to make the cut. To many enthusiasts around the world, the 916 was not simply the latest ‘superbike’, but the best there had ever been. Not only did it set new standards of performance, handling and braking, but also topped the table in style and charisma.

Ayrton Senna was a personal friend of the Castiglioni family (partially, no doubt, because he was a repeat high-profile Ducati customer), and had actually personally agreed to the first run of 200 bikes named in his honour before his demise. Profits from these ‘Sennas’ went to the Senna Foundation to provide Brazilian kids with free sports facilities, as long as they went to school. The first run arrived in 1995 – Silver with Red wheels, with a Strada-spec engine

1998 Ducati 916 Senna II

(minus the posh Pankl rods) with an SP chassis (Öhlins shock, cast-iron, fully-floating Brembo discs and braided brake hoses) and 300 were built. Two further runs of Senna II and Senna IIIs were produced in 1997 and 1998 with all profits, similarly, going to the Senna Foundation.

This 916 Senna II (73/300) was first registered in the UK on 20th March 1998 and has just one previous registered keeper. Most importantly, the bike has covered an incredible five miles from new.

It was purchased by our vendor in 2011 and has been used as a display bike during that period. As one would expect, the condition of this 916 Senna is beautiful and reflects the delivery mileage indicated. We welcome pre-sale inspections and can report that the bike starts and runs sweetly. An unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a true collector’s item that would look good in any setting and, at any level, is a work of art.

Founded in 1921 in Mandello del Lario, Italy, Moto Guzzi is the oldest European motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production.

Success in motorsport both on circuit and road racing has ensured the company’s longevity. The manufacturer is also known for it’s aircooled 90-degree V-Twin engines mounted longitudinally ensuring the cylinder heads sit prominently on both sides of the frame.

The original Moto Guzzi California was released in 1971 and was designed in consultation with the Los Angeles Police Department to replace the previous model. A ‘cruiser’ style motorcycle, the company has gone on to make many iterations of this bike. In 2013, a new California 1400 Custom was released, fitted with the biggest engine Moto Guzzi has ever produced, utilising ABS, traction control, and even ride-by-wire electronic injection, making it smoother and faster to ride than its predecessors. Stopping power comes from a Brembo setup comprising four-piston calipers up front with a 320mm disc and two-piston calipers at the rear with a 282mm disc. A retro-looking cruiser, the bike does have modernlooking LED tail lights and indicators built into the rear arch. With an impressive 0-60mph time of only 3.7 seconds and 87bhp, these California 1400 Customs are sure to put a smile on one’s face.

This particular Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom was registered to its one and only owner in the UK on 24th May 2013. Finished in devilishly handsome black, the bike was bought by our vendor to go on a European tour with friends. The trip was completed and the bike enjoyed, however, other commitments have taken priority and this California has seen little use since, with only 3,166 miles showing on the odometer. Supplied with a UK V5C and MOT tested until 4th October 2017, this cruiser is ready for further adventures!

It all started back in the early 1960s with Honda’s then-new Suzuka Circuit, which included an amusement park called ‘Motopia’. The park featured all sorts of motorised vehicle ‘rides’ and one of these featured a tiny prototype motorbike called the Z100, which used the 50cc pushrod single from the Honda Cub, a hardtail frame, and fiveinch wheels. It quickly became the park’s most popular attraction, and because riders looked so ‘Simian’ while aboard the tiny bikes, the term ‘Monkey Bike’ quickly took hold.

The Mini-Trail astounded the minibike world, Honda dealers couldn’t sell enough of them. There was huge demand, with both children and adults riding them literally everywhere. Honda had created an institution! Honda continued to develop and sell their Z-series of Monkey Bikes models for many more years, being put to good use by owners often as pit bikes or delivery vehicles.

It all started back in the early 1960s with Honda’s then-new Suzuka Circuit, which included an amusement park called ‘Motopia’. The park featured all sorts of motorised vehicle ‘rides’ and one of these featured a tiny prototype motorbike called the Z100, which used the 50cc pushrod single from the Honda Cub, a hardtail frame, and 5-inch wheels. It quickly became the park’s most popular attraction, and because riders looked so ‘Simian’ while aboard the tiny bikes, the term ‘Monkey Bike’ quickly took hold.

The Mini-Trail astounded the minibike world, Honda dealers couldn’t sell enough of them. There was huge demand, with both children and adults riding them literally everywhere. Honda had created an institution! Honda continued to develop and sell their Z-series of Monkey Bikes models for many more years, being put to good use by owners often as pit bikes or delivery vehicles.

With 160mph performance, a short, wheelie-prone chassis and a screaming banshee wail from the under-seat exhausts each time the rev needle passed 6,000rpm, the SB6 was perhaps the ultimate café racer special of the mid-1990s.

This SB6-R is a late production bike and was first registered on the 1st June 2000. It was purchased by our vendor, the bike’s second registered keeper, on the 10th May 2016 and is now presented to auction with a fresh MOT certificate and in a superb condition totally commensurate with its odometer reading of a shade over 1,700 miles. The bike appears completely standard apart from a Mark Hill Performance exhaust.

A truly exotic, hand-built, carbon fibre everywhere, ‘R’ version of the SB6 was also produced for those who demanded the very best, which cost a staggering £17,995 nearly 20 years ago.

This is a stunning concoction of a hugely powerful Japanese engine, Italian styling, and sweet high-speed handling and would make an attractive addition to any collection of performance bikes.

The ‘S’ of SB6-R tells you that the engine for this bike came from Suzuki. Specifically, it was yanked from the GSXR 1100 of the time.

With Bimota-developed camshafts, it produced 156 horsepower and could propel the bike to a top speed of 175 miles per hour. It also came with stereotypical Italian build quality inconsistencies, which were tough to bear on a bike this expensive, however, it must be said that this money did buy you some of the best components available at the time – Paoli suspension, Brembo brakes, Marchesini wheels and more. Still, time heals all wounds, and you can now get a Bimota SB6-R, in excellent condition, for not much more than

Based on the Mulsanne chassis, the Bentley Turbo R was built to be a serious high-performance machine and, like its predecessor, this Bentley had a turbocharged engine, however, it was more highly tuned than the Mulsanne. With Bosch fuel injection increasing torque levels, uprated suspension, anti-roll bars, and superior dampers, the Bentley Turbo was surprisingly nimble for a car of its size and fitted with a 6750cc V8 capable of 135mph, it was a real performer in a straight line too. Rave reviews in the press helped dealers move the Turbo R in relatively substantial numbers - one report by Motor Trend described it as “The first Bentley in decades deserving of that famous name”.

The stylish lines of these nineties Bentleys look best in darker colours, and the Beluga Black paintwork with twin Cardinal Red ‘coach-lines’ gives this substantial saloon a wonderful low and sleek look. As is traditional with a car that would have cost £110,000 new, the interior is the epitome of class. Lush red-piped, black leather, deep carpets and superb veneers suggest the 27,000 miles on the clock are genuine. However, the mileage cannot be substantiated.

Following the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre inline-four for their new 944, which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth-running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. These carry eccentric weights that produce inertial forces that balance out the unbalanced secondary forces, all a bit technical but the result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbinesmooth as a six.

Cosmetically, the 944’s bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward.

A ‘turbo’ version of the 944 was always on the cards, and the forced induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, necessitating an upgraded clutch and gearbox. The chassis was further developed and thicker anti-roll bars and four-pot brake calipers were fitted to deal with the significantly increased performance. Externally, a smoother nose panel and a larger rear spoiler distinguished it from its lesser siblings.

In February 1991, (the final year of 944 production), Porsche released the 944 Turbo Cabriolet, which combined the Turbo S’ 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg. Compared to the Coupé model, the Cabriolet’s windscreen is lowered about 6cm and raked back to reduce the wind noise when the top is down. Porsche initially announced that 600 would be made, but ultimately 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African markets. This then is a very rare and capable motor car, with a 0-62mph time of under six seconds, and was produced for just one year, with only 32 examples believed to still reside in the UK. Presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 944 Turbo Cabriolet supplied new by Porsche Centre-Strattons of Wilmslow Ltd. on the 1st August 1992. Finished in the classic Porsche colour

It was serviced by Porsche Centres (Strattons, Chariots, AFN) from 2,789 miles to 19,968 miles, and latterly by marque specialists. It comes with an original and fully stamped-up Porsche Service Book plus numerous invoices for maintenance and MOT certificates, which help corroborate the indicated mileage. Now being sold from part of an enthusiast’s collection, this car has recently benefited from a full service (including cam belt) in 2016.

This fabulous, open-top, Porsche has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, really well. Small but important details like factory stickers still in situ, two sets of keys and a complete book-pack help support its careful ownership.

This is simply a lovely example of one of the rarest and most sought-after Porsches from the 1990s.

The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the ‘911 explosion’ and front-engined Porsches are having the Renaissance they richly deserve. This great example, whilst being competitively guided, opens the door into a very exclusive club.

The MP4-12C is McLaren’s first production car since the legendary McLaren F1. Unlike the F1, the MP4-12C is powered by a 3.8-litre V8, twin-turbo engine that can propel the car from 0-124mph in an incredible 8.9 seconds. Designed by Frank Stephenson, who also styled the Ferrari F430 and the new MINI, the MP4-12C was launched in 2011 and is built using a great deal of technology from McLaren’s Formula 1® program. For example, a Formula 1® style carbon tub, known as a ‘carbon monocell’, forms the basis of the car’s chassis and weighs only 80kg. In addition, the engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox allowing for seamless gear changes. Even the name ‘MP4-12C’ is an homage to McLaren’s Formula 1® history, as every chassis since 1981 has been labeled MP4.

Now showing just 22,880 miles from new, this one owner car is striking in its colour combination and represents an opportunity to own one of the world’s most competent and seamless supercars.

Reviews of the model confirmed that McLaren had achieved what they set out to do with their new car. Evo Magazine stated: “It’s faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia, has more useable performance, rides better, has more mechanical grip and is much, much more useable.”

The Lotus Carlton is a legend and the kind of car that comes along once in a generation. At a time when really fast four-door saloons were the preserve of BMW and Mercedes, this Vauxhall (Opel) derived super saloon arrived on the scene demolishing the opposition. Oddly, it wasn’t its huge performance or masculine good looks that created the most fuss but the fact that the Daily Mail was so outraged by its stated top speed of 176mph, that it declared it too fast for British roads. Of course, the Lotus Carlton - or Type 104 to Lotus aficionados - was nothing of the sort, and although it shared its major components with a mainstream executive car, its level of development across every aspect of automotive dynamics had resulted in a truly special performance car.

It was powered by a twin-turbo version of the venerable straightsix used in the Senator, which developed a remarkable 377bhp. To achieve that figure, Lotus had put a lot of work into the 3.6-litre power unit, uprating and strengthening the bottom end, porting the 24-valve cylinder head (from the Carlton GSI), and fitting forged ‘slipper pistons’ made by Mahle atop new Lotus-designed connecting rods tied to a counterweighted, forged steel crankshaft.

The gearbox was the same six-speeder used in the Corvette ZR-1, the only transmission in GM’s parts bin, capable of handling the car’s monster torque. AP Group-C derived brakes – four-pot calipers with 330mm ventilated discs at the front and two-pot at the rear – sat behind specially developed Goodyear tyres.

Performance was brisk, to say the least. 0-60mph came up in 5.0 seconds, 0-100 was dispatched in 11.1 seconds, and in 1992 Autocar Magazine recorded a time of 17.0 seconds for their 0-100-0 challenge, 2nd best behind an F40, however, it’s the car’s maximum speed of 176mph that will always be quoted by its fans.

Based on a civilised modern saloon car, the Lotus Carlton was tractable, light and well-mannered in town traffic, however, whilst those 377 horses were quite comfortable in the Dressage Ring, given an open gate, they were quickly off to the Cross Country Course.

Supplied new by Moorland Motors of Blackpool in August 1991 and finished in the obligatory Imperial Green, this immaculate Lotus Carlton is car Number 28 out of a limited production of 284 UK,

Purity is a fragile and vulnerable thing and in August 1996, the revolutionary new Lotus Elise seemed to ooze purity from every extruded anodised aluminium and epoxy resin crevice, with nothing superfluous subtracting from the essence of this truly minimalist, focused little sports car. Although ‘beautiful to behold’ it certainly was, the time-honoured relationship between ‘form and function’ was clearly evident in the way it went and handled with its lightweight chassis-tub at 731kg failing to daunt the enthusiasm of the mid-mounted, 1.8-litre K-series engine, and its 118bhp was enough for a 0-60mph time in the low sixes allied to decent pull in the higher ratios. Clothed in two-piece ‘clamshell’ fibreglass bodywork, the featherweight two-door also featured all-round double-wishbone independent coil-over suspension, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and a five-speed gearbox.

Designer Julian Thomson and engineer Richard Rackham were keen to create a car with something of a motorcycle’s feel, and they undoubtedly succeeded, as is evident as much as in the aluminiumand-rubber interior and neat little Stack instrument panel, as in the car’s dynamic intimacy with the road, the wind, and the weather. The Elise was a reaction to the corpulent world of leather, luxury, and levers becoming increasingly evident in Lotus road cars, and was an attempt to recreate Colin Chapman’s early principles before he

A precise four-speed gearbox with switched overdrive on third and fourth is great for either blasting around B-roads or high-speed cruising. The steering is tight and direct - there is great feedback through the wheel, not least due to rack mount upgrades. Pirelli tyres give excellent levels of traction and cornering, and the brakes bring everything solidly to a stop without drama.

It’s obvious when you inspect the underside of this TR that it has been well looked-after; there are no signs of repairs and no coverups with fresh underseal. All suspension components have been powder-coated or painted as part of the rebuild and attention to detail is very high. All inspections are welcome.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the ‘Carrera’ name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.

The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery model to over 150mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. All 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.

indicating that from the 11th April 2012 until the current MOT, the car has covered just 123 miles.

The Triumph TR4 was introduced in 1961 to follow its very successful predecessors, the TR2 and TR3. Code named ‘Zest’ during development, the body was given a more modern and updated appearance by Michelotti but its drivetrain and chassis remained the same using the well proven four-cylinder pushrod unit, albeit with an increased capacity to 2138cc. Handling was improved by a three-inch wider track and the steering was also updated to a more modern and precise rack and pinion system. Internally, the car gained wind-up windows and the new angular rear end allowed for a boot with a very reasonable luggage capacity for a sports car.

The Lotus Elite, when first launched in 1958, put Colin Chapman and Lotus cars very firmly on the map. It utilised a ‘monocoque construction’, which meant there was no separate chassis and the body was ‘load bearing’, and whilst this was becoming accepted practice, the Elite was the first time it had been attempted in glassfibre. When combined with independent sporty suspension, a ZF gearbox, disc brakes, a Coventry Climax all-aluminium engine, and a very low drag coefficient of just 0.29 - it made for a great driver’s car. So much so, that by production end in 1963 over one thousand had been produced and Lotus was now a credible British sports car manufacturer.

This particular car became the property of Dick Crosthwaite (he of the famous ‘Crosthwaite and Gardener’ engineering company) as he was originally searching for an inlet manifold for a Coventry Climax engine and the one he eventually found was still attached to this car, 413 RDT! He then started to accumulate other parts to add to his store in the hope of fully restoring the little Lotus over time. These included a new ZF gearbox, Borrani wire wheels, and various new/old stock original components.

However Dick’s busy and successful business life prevented him from making much progress, so he eventually parted with the car in 2009

when our vendor commenced a thorough and complete total rebuild.

He took enormous trouble to recreate the car authentically but with period upgrades and also to the highest of standards - sourcing all parts carefully and sparing no expense. The car now presents superbly with excellent shut lines, the paint shines deeply (having been soda blasted back to the original gel coat before painting), the stainless steel trim shines brightly, and the freshly trimmed interior in Air Force Blue leather and Cornflower Blue carpets looks superb.

Under the bonnet sits the 1500cc “FWB” engine with a steel crankshaft, Arrow Rods and Arias pistons with a 5-bearing cam and adjustable timing wheel mated to a new ZF 4-speed gearbox, an aluminium radiator with an effective fan, a long-range aluminium fuel tank and braided brake and fuel lines finish off the stunning rebuild.

The monocoque is original - not one of the later reproduced versions, as is the gearbox. The engine is also an original road engine, not a converted pump engine.

This particular car has been fully maintained for its whole life and the car’s history file documents all the relevant details including its earlier custodians. It appears to have been extensively restored by Barretts Jaguar of Kent in 1987 and there is a photographic record in the file. Our vendor was aided in his search for the best Series II he could find by Ken Bell, ex-Coombes Jaguar, a respected authority on all things Jaguar.

Some cars need no introduction and the Jaguar E-Type is no exception. The Series II Jaguar E-Types that were produced from 1969 to 1971 can be identified by their open headlights, no longer with glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper with the tail lights now underneath, and the front indicators were larger and similarly repositioned below the slightly heavier front bumpers. The cooling was much improved helped by the enlarged ‘mouth’. Series II cars also feature twin electric fans and uprated brakes. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smoothly polished cam covers to a ribbed appearance and for US-spec cars, twin Stromberg carburettors were used. The interior and dashboard were also redesigned, with flick switches being substituted by rocker switches to meet US regulations.

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster

The odometer currently indicates just over 95,000 miles and this matching-numbers, Series II looks superb finished in Signal Red with a Black interior. The wire wheel spokes have been upgraded to stainless steel and the cleverly modified stereo system incorporates Satellite Navigation, however, the car is essentially honest and still guided by its original steering wheel, a rare find these days.

BYF 100H is a fairly high-profile E-Type and has featured at many events, including being one of the cars selected to appear in the Guinness World Record Display collection of E-Types at Regent Street Motor Show in 2011 to celebrate fifty years since the E-Type was launched. It was also seen at the St. James Concours d’Elegance in 2013 and at Hampton Court in 2014. Additionally, this car was chosen by Boris Johnson, when he was Mayor of London, to take part in the convoy celebrating the opening of the Piccadilly and St. James two-way system, and appeared on BBC and ITV looking splendid.

Freshly MOT tested and ready for inspection, there can’t be a more quintessentially British classic than a bright red E-Type.

The best Capri ‘Brooklands’ we have ever seen! This car, affectionately known as Oscar, was bought by its current owner over eight years ago on 30th March 2009 as an immaculate Capri 280 ‘Brooklands’ with a genuine mileage of 12,704, (now showing 14,680). It has every MOT certificate and tax disc ever issued for the car and a full dealer service history, including an immaculately presented and extremely comprehensive A4 binder full of further history and receipts. This Capri has had just three previous keepers from new.

According to our vendor, he bought the car “in truly exceptional condition with no corrosion or damage”. It had never been repaired or painted, which was later verified by marque specialists ‘RestoreA-Ford’.

Since that purchase, the entire car has been professionally and fully re-finished (not restored) by the leading Capri experts, Restore-AFord. The subject of a money-no-object refinish designed to produce a car that was correct in every detail and, possibly, even better than when it left the factory. This whole process, (including the strip down showing the car to have no corrosion or repair damage) is comprehensively documented with hundreds of full-colour photographs.

The entire underside of the car, including the wheel houses, was taken back, by hand, to bare metal and then zinc etch-primed, and stone chip coated, before being painted in ICI two-pack clear overbase. All underside components were refinished too in the correct finish and colours, and the dampers and engine were paint matched to the original finishes. All the fixings, nuts and bolts were stripped and re-zinced with the correct ‘gold passivate’ factory finish, only again, to a much higher standard than the originals.

perfect base was further complimented by every rubber bush on the car being replaced in favour of Superflex poly replacements.

A brand new, period correct stainless steel Janspeed exhaust system was fitted and bespoke stainless link pipes were made in order that the factory manifolds could be retained. Those manifolds were then plasma-ceramic coated. Further to that, rather than re-use the mild steel manifold studs, an engineering company was commissioned to make a full set of studs in marine-grade stainless steel and brass nuts to suit. The engine starts and runs beautifully and uses a full set of silicone hoses that mimic the originals (included) while the system also benefits from waterless coolant, which along with the silicone brake fluid are lifetime fluids.

The quality of the paint finish is immediately obvious and is almost flawless, topped off with a perfectly applied, Ford authorised, stripe kit. New, old stock, mud flaps and brackets were sourced and stainless ‘pucs’ were commissioned by the owner to fit between the arch and the bracket to protect the paint. The bumpers were repainted in the correct satin black with all fixings re-finished as per the rest of the car.

Everything on the car has been prepared to the highest standards and to original colour and specifications. Everything mentioned above is backed by invoices in a very impressive history folder. The car comes with all the original handbooks and plastic sleeve, as well as genuine main and spare Ford keys including the fully functional torch key. If, like the current owner, you want the ultimate Mk3 Capri, correct in every aspect but hand-built and finished to an exceptional standard, E366 OFD really is the only option.

New brake drums, cylinders, shoes and fitting kit were used, whilst the original calipers were fully stripped and rebuilt with stainless pistons and fresh, factory-correct, zinc coating on the calliper bodies. New EBC dustless brake pads were used along with new discs and fitting kit. These were connected to stainless Goodridge flexible brake hoses that are black sheathed to look factory original with the whole brake system running EBC silicone brake fluid. This

This UK-supplied 911 SC is finished in an appropriate 70s colour combination of Gold with a matching Tan interior with groovy ‘Pasha’ covered sports seats. The car has been maintained by respected Porsche specialist RS911 in Wales and will be coming directly from them to the auction following a full engine service and some attention to the brakes including new rear brake calipers and discs. It will be supplied with a fresh MOT certificate and will be ready to be driven away from the auction.

Supplied with its original service book, tools, jack and recently refurbished wheels, this 911 SC has covered a total of 129,950 miles but has been the subject of significant expenditure over the years. Speaking with RS911, they report that the car is an excellent original car with good floor pans and crisp shut lines. The car drives well and the interior is superb.

Purchased by the current owner three years ago, it has been kept in dry storage during that time and only brought out on high days

The Mercedes-Benz 220SE was superseded in early autumn 1965 by the 250SE, powered by the new 2.5-litre M129 engine. This bigger and more powerful unit had an output of 150hp at 5500rpm giving the new model a significant improvement in acceleration and top speed. The car’s external appearance was little changed with only the new 14-inch rims and new hubcaps being visible. However, there were a number of improvements over the 220 including larger disc brakes and a redesigned rear axle.

In a market where 280SEs are now commanding premium prices, this elegant 250SE, at this sensible guide, should not be overlooked.

A mere 5,259 examples of the 250SE Coupé were built before the introduction of the replacement 280SE in late 1967. These elegant German-engineered, pillarless coupés remain very good looking cars are highly sought after for their timeless style and driving pleasure.

This right-hand drive 250SE Coupé has covered just over 99,000 miles and is fitted with power steering and a column shift for the automatic gearbox. This car appears to have been subject to a restoration at some point in its life with many new mechanical parts fitted at the time including shock absorbers, fuel pump, brake reservoir, coils, distributor cap etc. and the vendor informs us that an electronic ignition is fitted. He also explained that the seats and carpets have been re-trimmed and the car has been repainted at some point, we understand in its original colour of Dunkelblau (332).

DFH 125B was purchased in 2015 from a private collection within an estate as the owner had sadly passed away. He had purchased the car in 1988 and duly set about a restoration. The vehicle was originally registered in his company’s name and at some point was transferred to his own name so, although it has had four keepers ‘on paper’, two of them were the same. The car appears to have been truly cherished throughout this 27-year period. The odometer was reset at the time of the restoration so we obviously cannot warrant the car’s indicated mileage today. Approximately eight years ago it was taken off the road, and since 2015 a sympathetic partial restoration has been carried out. Our vendor took the whole vehicle

Proudly unveiled to an appreciative audience at the Geneva Motor Show of 1963, the Paul Bracq-designed, second generation SL began with the 230. Its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, power assisted disc/drum brakes, recirculating ball steering, and a 2306cc straight-six engine of 150bhp and 145 lbft of torque mated to either a four-speed manual or an automatic transmission. Remaining in production until 1971, the W113 Class, frequently referred to as the ‘Pagoda’, eventually spanned three engine sizes. Of the 48,912 W113 Series cars made between 1963 and 1971, 19,831 were 230SLs.

apart and either renewed, where required, or cleaned and repaired all else.

The engine was taken out and rebuilt and a new clutch fitted. New bulkhead covers and engine undertray have been fitted, and the engine and ancillaries have been nicely detailed, so the engine bay is very impressive indeed. The car was fully serviced at this point.

The bodywork was taken back to a bare shell with all the glass out and has been professionally repainted in a distinctive Sea Green.

No expense appears to have been spared on the interior and the new trim looks superb. The steering wheel has been professionally restored, as has all the chrome. The hood is in Beige and is in lovely condition, and the hardtop is in Gloss Black, and again has been restored.

Hundreds of hours and around £35,000 have been invested to return this Pagoda to top form. All the qualities that made the Pagoda SLs so desirable in their heyday remain today - chic styling, Teutonic build quality, and great driving ‘feel’. This little green ‘Pagoda’ is very appealing and the world’s enthusiasm for these charismatic, sixties’ Mercedes sports cars, shows little sign of abating.

In the aftermath of the Ford GT40’s legendary success at Le Mans and worldwide, and Ford’s self-indulgent glossy advertising campaign marketing the handful of 40-inch-high road cars that they had built to satisfy the requirements of the rule-makers in international motorsport, it’s no surprise that the GT40 quickly donned the mantle of one of the world’s greatest ever classic sports cars. Then, as now, there was a desire amongst rising generations to own a GT40 (or something that looked just like it), leading to an increased demand for unmolested originals and the start of a replica-building industry that continues to this day.

One enthusiast on the lookout for the genuine article at that time was Peter Thorp of Safir Engineering, whose frustration at not being able to find one (original race cars had disappeared into private collections and owners of the road cars were loathed to part with them) led him to a meeting with John Willment. Willment retained a large stock of GT40 spares, tools, jigs and original plans, while Thorp’s company, Safir, were experienced constructors of Formula 3 single-seaters. The discussions of two much-motivated petrolheads could have only one outcome – resources would be pooled and production restarted.

“Negotiations with Ford in Dearborn led to an agreement that further examples could be built, with Safir continuing the run of chassis numbers from the point of completion, but allowing for a further three ‘original’ chassis to be completed and registered, since Willment had always intended to, one day, finalise the GT40 build programme by finally constructing the three chassis and boxes of parts he still held in storage. As the final chassis had been ‘GTP/1086’, he retained ‘1087’, ‘1088’ and ‘1089’. The first Safir chassis would, therefore, be ‘1090’.” Trevor Legate, Ford GT40, Production & Racing History.

‘Mark V’ was chosen to designate the mildly updated model, the monocoque chassis of which was redesigned to enable fabricated construction (the originals had used pressed panels). Modern technology in the form of zinc-chromate corrosion proofing ensured a longer life than the original design had enjoyed and a superior and less leak-prone fuel tank was adopted. Tennant Panels supplied the roof structure, the rest of the chassis being completed by Safir with the lightweight body panels fitted. Ex-JW Engineering employees were used wherever possible.

The first Safir GT40 was completed in 1980, with a further 39 examples following over the course of the next 15 years, five of which were completed to seven-litre ‘Mark II’ specification. Cars could be supplied engine-less or with, usually, a 5.3-litre Ford V8 installed.

The Silverstone Classic Sale 2017

Maximum power depended largely on the choice of induction - Holley or Weber - outputs ranging from 400 to 460bhp. Although Safir received no financial assistance from Ford, the latter sanctioned, and generally approved of, the Mark V project and assisted with obtaining certification for road use. Between them, JW Engineering, Safir and Ford agreed that these ‘continuation’ cars would be called ‘GT40 Mark V Powered by Ford’, thus minimising Ford Motor Company’s potential liability. Safir later obtained the ‘GT40’ trademark.

This very special right-hand drive GT40 Mark V has covered just over 7,800 miles since leaving the Safir workshop in 1989. Two owners have enjoyed the car and the second (and current owner) has owned it since 1995 but has now reached the age of 70 and the time has therefore come to sell his much-loved possession. Whilst in conversations with Peter Thorpe about the car in 1995, our vendor made the valid point that the cockpit could get very hot in its current format. Peter Thorpe therefore designed and made new doors for our vendor with removable roof panels which helped the heat issues, ensured the driver could enjoy the impressive sound of the potent Mathwall 5.3 V8 along with offering more space for the taller driver. The original doors are included as part of the sale.

Serviced and MOT tested every year since 1997 (with additional service records prior to this period), there is a comprehensive history file with the car detailing all the work carried out over the years, and corroborating the 7,800 miles indicated. There is also another file detailing more of the history of these rare cars, with original sales brochures and magazine articles, along with correspondence between the two owners and interested parties in the car over the years. Reading these interesting files really gives you the impression that this car has enjoyed all the love and attention it deserves and the condition of the car certainly backs this up. This is an honest car, presented in original condition, the red paintwork gleams, and the looks are a joy to behold, certainly iconic, and in some people’s eyes, a candidate for the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Coming to auction with a fresh service and MOT certificate, carried out at ‘SVP Motorsport’ in May of this year, this is a very special car that offers an interesting provenance and would be a very worthy addition to any serious collection. Just to reiterate the perspective here, this is not a GT40 Replica, Recreation, Homage or Appreciation. It is a GT 40 Continuation, put together by men who worked on the early race cars, with the correct chassis number, but with an Eight Million Dollar discount!

The Virage was a large, heavy car in spite of its all-aluminium body, but with a reworked version of Tadek Marek’s legendary quadcam 5.3-litre V8, now with a 32-valve head designed by Callaway Engineering of Connecticut, hydraulic tappets and Weber-Marelli fuel injection, it produced 364 lb-ft torque and 330bhp, which was enough to elevate its performance to near supercar levels. The five-speed ZF manual was only fitted to about 40% of Virage, with the car’s driving attributes lending themselves more to the popular automatic option of Chrysler’s three-speed Torqueflite transmission.

For 1993, the three-speed was replaced by a four-speed automatic unit.

The car presented here is a 1994 Virage Automatic, which is being sold from a small private collection of choice classics. It looks fabulous in Middlesex Green and the contrasting green-piped, tan leather interior is well-preserved. It was supplied new by the JCT600 Group on the 21st February 1994 and was maintained by the supplying dealer up until 10,880 miles. Since then, it has been serviced by Aston Martin main-dealers (Stratstone AM of Wilmslow, Lancaster AM of Seven Oaks, Stratton AM of Norwich) and latterly marque specialists, up until 41,328 miles. In October 2010 it was acquired by a privately-owned classic car museum, hence the relatively low mileage and enviable condition.

“Acceleration just never seems to run out”, claimed Sports Car International on a first test. They also praised the “eager and quicker revving” nature of the engine and were generally mightily impressed with the whole package: “The new car outperforms the old in every respect. It’s quicker, sharper handling, more refined and has an astonishingly good ride. It’s better made, too. The factory’s craftsmanship is legendary, but now it is allied to 1990s standards of quality and reliability”. Costing £135,000 at launch, by the end of the 2000 model year, just 1,050 Virage related models were produced in total, quite a low production number when compared to some of its predecessors.

Subsequently, the car was fully recommissioned and has since been well-maintained by our enthusiastic vendor. It has benefitted from some recent expenditure, including a mileage-appropriate service with the refurbishment of its fuel injectors and set-up, four new Avon Turbo-Speed tyres, a new steering rack, and a repair to its Vehicle Information Centre (VIC unit), which cost £2,500 alone.

When our vendor purchased TJT 385L from us in 2014, he had been looking for a very sound base car to restore and this car fitted the bill perfectly. He commissioned Richard Hodson of RH Classics of Melton Mowbray to perform a body-off restoration, and return the RR to its best with particular attention to the brakes, suspension and engine ancillaries. Upon reassembly, the windows were resealed with new rubbers, time-consuming and expensive but a good indication of the quality of the restoration. The cost of the car’s renovation was in the region of £20,000 and it really does present well today.

Offered to auction with an MOT certificate valid until January 2018, its original 3.5-litre V8 engine, no. 35508171B, and a history file that includes the original ‘Passport to Service’, bills from the 1970s, and receipted invoices. The odometer shows some 92,000 miles, which is largely irrelevant in a car so well restored. To conclude this Suffix A would be at home in any serious car collection with the benefit of being an excellent daily driver.

Manufactured from 2004 until 2009, the Ferrari F430 was the successor to the enormously successful 360M. According to its creators, the F430 was at least 70% new compared to the 360. It had a new engine, a new F1 gearbox, a new diff and a brand-new chassis, and although the styling is obviously reminiscent of the 360M’s, in reality, it’s pretty much a ground-up design. Only the bonnet, doors, and roof were carried over; the rest, even the door mirrors, were all new and largely the work of Pininfarina, overseen

by Ferrari’s design chief Frank Stephenson.

The F430’s complex variable-valve-timing system is also lifted straight from the Enzo’s V12, and as ever there is dry-sump lubrication, a very high compression ratio (11.3:1), a variable airflow plenum chamber and an enormous electronic brain making the decisions in the form of not one, but two, Bosch Motronic ME7 ECUs. At 483bhp it has a significant 21% more power than the 360.

Its fabulous 4.3-litre V8 will rocket this very sleek new Ferrari from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds and on to a maximum speed in excess of 196mph.

Regardless of use, this car has been serviced four times at Lancaster Ferrari, Colchester on the following dates: • 7th May 2009 - 449 miles • 23rd August 2012 - 513 miles • 12th February 2015 - 531 miles • 29th February 2016 - 547 miles As one would expect, this stunning example comes with all of its original books, tools, car covers, battery charger and even retains some of its original delivery covers and packaging!

Supplied with a UK V5C, this one-owner Ferrari F430 F1 has now covered only 558 miles from new and will arrive at the sale with a fresh MOT certificate. Cars of this quality and incredibly low mileage rarely come to market and this F430 F1 presents a unique opportunity to buy a real collector’s piece.

Any future purchaser of this car will be surprised by its lightweight and nimble handling. It’s a real ‘Homologation Special’ and less than 965 cars were built by BMC in total, making this a very rare and highly collectable car today.

The new owner will be offered the opportunity to buy a complete set of six, brand new, unused ‘Vortz Rose Petal’ wheels (original Cooper Racing Wheels) from the Vendor.

The desirable Elan ‘Sprint’ was officially introduced in 1971 and was the ultimate incarnation. It justified its name thanks to a substantial increase in power to 126bhp resulting from the adoption of a big-valve head with high-lift cams, a raised compression ratio and (initially) Weber 40 DCOE 31s. The drivetrain was suitably toughened and braced and the front callipers were redesigned to cope with the increased performance.

In the time between the public announcement of the Sprint at the 1970 October Earls Court Motor Show and the official launch of the car in February 1971, there was frantic activity at the factory.

With the motoring public clamouring for the more powerful Elan, the decision was made to convert a small number of ‘SE’ S4s to Sprint specification at the factory. From the VIN records it appears there was no logical order to the selection of which S4 cars were converted and in March 1992, the then Lotus archivist, Michael Pomfret, claimed that just 79 S4s were converted to Sprint specification in early 1971, the last on 27th March. These factoryconverted cars, known colloquially in Lotus circles as ‘S4/Sprints’, often retained the bonnet bulge from the S4. Today, the cars from this select group are much sought-after due to their rarity and pioneering role in the story of the ultimate Elan.

According to its accompanying Lotus Certificate of Vehicle Provenance, the car presented here was only the 8th example of an S4 to be factory-converted to Sprint specification. It was built in June 1970, receiving its upgrade shortly after, before being sold through Hammonds & Oakwood Ltd. of Beckenham. In the car’s history file, there is its original green VE.60 Registration Book plus a letter from the Lotus Archive Department, which combine to tell us it was bought by a Mr E Watters of Penshurst on the 6th April 1971, being first registered on the 22nd April 1971.

In 1962 Lotus launched a legend, the new and ground-breaking Lotus Elan. Following on from the Elite, the new car offered improved handling and better performance. Below the bonnet sat a new 1558cc, twin-cam four-cylinder engine which would become a legend in its own right, powering other classic Lotus models including, of course, the Cortina sporting saloons.

have been enjoyed by only one more owner, before being acquired in circa 1996 by a senior Lotus technician at renowned Lotus specialists Paul Matty Sports Cars. During the next 18 years of his ownership, the car was used regularly but maintained to a very good standard.

Our vendor bought the car in 2014, with a corresponding invoice from Paul Matty Sports Cars Ltd. documenting the chassis and engine numbers as per the Certificate of Vehicle Provenance and current V5C. Impressed by the car’s pedigree, our vendor thought it worthy of a complete restoration, and this was duly commenced, taking almost three years and costing in excess of £30,000, as supported by many invoices. As is not uncommon with Elans, the original chassis – found to still have its chalked-on chassis number intact – was past saving, and an invoice in the file confirms that a genuine galvanised Lotus replacement chassis has now been fitted. All elements of the car have been cleaned, renewed and reassembled and where this wasn’t possible, items were replaced with genuine new parts including a new fuel tank. The engine and gearbox were stripped down and found to be in very good condition, before being professionally refreshed and serviced. The bodywork was restored and finished in its original colour scheme of Carnival Red / Cirrus White, made famous as the livery of the ‘Gold Leaf Team Lotus’ Formula 1® cars of the late 1960s and 1970s. A new fabric hood was fitted along with a set of new carpets and new trim.

The overall result, as can be seen from the photographs, is amazing.

The little Lotus is so pretty that you wouldn’t know whether to drive it or hang it on the kitchen wall!

The car is accompanied by the history file containing invoices from the rebuild, a photographic record of the work, original Registration Book and spare keys.

Quite rightly, the Lotus Elan is today regarded as one of the finest British sports cars of all time and the Sprint is, perhaps, the ultimate model. This immaculate example is an S4/Sprint convertible, possibly the rarest of all.

Firmly placed in Ferrari’s history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello’s combination of its stylish Pininfarina lines and front mounted 12-cylinder engine meant that this car had the potential to become an instant classic, following in the footsteps of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’. With modern styling cues, a 5.5-litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a serious motor car. A less frenetic power delivery, the six-speed manual box and excellent weight distribution were all factors in the 550 becoming the perfect European Grand Tourer.

In our fastidious vendor’s care, the car has seen infrequent use but has been maintained to the highest standard regardless - a tracker has been fitted, the aftermarket exhaust removed and a correct OEM part installed, and a new set of tyres fitted. The overall condition of the car is superb - the paint looks sharp, the interior has been treated to a coat of leather feed, and the wheels are in immaculate condition. The original toolkit and tyre inflator are present and the original Ferrari car cover, seats covers and steering wheel covers also remain. The car is eligible for Classiche Certification should a new owner wish.

We are pleased to offer this exquisite Ferrari 550 Maranello, which was supplied new by Stratstone of Wilmslow on 28th May 1999 to a Mr R. Walker of Northwich, Cheshire and has been enjoyed by four owners in total. Finished in Grigio Titanio, the interior is trimmed in grey leather with a black dashboard and black carpets throughout.

The history file accompanying the car is thoroughly detailed and shows this 550M has been well maintained throughout. The service book shows the following:

Supplied with a solid history file, including 10 previous MOT certificates, a raft of invoices, a UK V5C, and MOT tested until July 2018, this car, wearing the apt registration ‘R7 FER’, is now showing an incredibly low 24,575 miles on the odometer. Rarely do Ferrari 550Ms in this wonderful condition come to market and we urge you to come and view this car in person.

When the Porsche 964 was first introduced in 1989, Porsche made a point of the fact that it was 85% different from the outgoing 911. The design featured more integrated bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, most significant of which was the introduction of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc, producing 250bhp, power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard, and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers.

from new and the car has most recently formed part of one of the UK’s most significant private Porsche collections. We encourage presale inspections on this incredible 911 and urge prospective bidders to come and see this car in the metal. As the 964 continues to grow in popularity amongst tuners and restorers, finding an unmolested example such as this one is becoming extremely difficult.

This UK-supplied 911 C2 Coupé was delivered new on 1st August 1990 by Ian Anthony of Wilmslow and has an odometer reading today of just 12,000 miles. Factory option codes included Tiptronic transmission, Blaupunkt radio, amplifier, sports seats, rear window wiper, sun-moon-roof and board computer.

This vehicle is without question one of the finest 964s we have offered in recent years. The coachwork is finished in classic Guards Red and the car has never been painted. The Linen Leather interior is presented in beautiful condition and still retains a new-car smell.

The engine bay is in stunning order and the car has a current MOT certificate until October 2017. In addition, the original service book shows stamps from 1992, 1994, 1996 and 2011 at 10,924 miles.

Offered here is an exceedingly rare Mercedes-Benz 230S ‘Universal’ in original right-hand drive form and it’s possibly one of just three UK estates ever produced. In 1967, it was delivered by the factory to IMA of Mechelen Belgium, the coachworks that converted MercedesBenz saloons to estates for the German market. When finished, it was supplied through the UK dealer network as a special-order vehicle and, at the time, would have been incredibly expensive at around three times the price of an equivalent estate from Ford or Vauxhall, so was only of interest to a very few well-heeled individuals on this side of the Channel. This particular Universal is rarer still being based on the Series II fitted with the signature stacked twin headlights of the later Saloon and Coupé models produced until 1972.

The futuristic looking ‘Fintail’, launched Mercedes-Benz to new levels of sales worldwide. It was an amazing success mostly due to its simple and square contours, although it is not remembered for its looks, more for its reliability, durability, and excellent Teutonic engineering standards. It ended nearly a full decade of the Ponton family (1953–1962), thanks to which, Mercedes-Benz went from a ruined post-WWII marque to a world leader in the automotive industry.

It was succeeded by the W116, the first model to carry an ‘S-Class’ in the range, a name that is now synonymous with luxury and innovation.

It has been part of a small Mercedes-Benz collection owned by a true enthusiast who recognized the rarity of the Universal several years ago. Still carrying its original UK attractive registration number, he acquired the Mercedes from Peter Jones, a prominent figure in the M-B Owners Club. One of the features of this Universal is the fitting of a third row of seats by IMA making it a true seven-seater and may well have led to the factory adding just such a conversion to their options list in years to come. It retains its original Ivory steering wheel, dashboard knobs, and its period Blaupunkt radio. During the previous owner’s tenureship, the engine has been uprated to a 2.8-litre unit, making this stylish estate a true performer.

The car looks splendid and appears to stand ‘all-square’. It’s finished in Dunkelblau and presumably, the interior has been restored at some stage as the Sky Blue MB Tex upholstery looks excellent. Complete with a full MOT. certificate.

This beautiful timeless classic has to be the ultimate seven-seater estate and would grace any event worldwide. Original and usable, get the picnic sets out and let’s get off to Goodwood.

The European Touring Car Championship of the early 1970s encouraged a number of performance-orientated manufacturers to build some rare and exciting ‘homologation specials’, notably Ford with their Escort and Capri derivatives and BMW with their CSL. Standing for ‘Coupé Sport Leicht’, it was indeed light - with an aluminium bonnet, boot and doors, reduced trim and lighter sports seats, all of which resulted in a weight saving of over 300lbs (136kg), even on the road car! The race versions created even more highly evocative images (think Hans Stuck flying at the ‘Flugplatz’) with an excess of dramatic spoilers on the front, rear and even on the roof! Only 250 were built and they were hugely successful in period, gaining cult status amongst racing fans all over the world.

This CSL was sold new in the UK on 21st March 1973. Purchased by our vendor in 2011, he had the bodywork fully stripped to bare metal and the car painted in the period-correct colour of Taiga Green by ‘355 Automobile Restorations International’. Pictures of the work are available in the history file. The mechanicals including the engine, suspension and gearbox were all reassembled by the Ferrari specialist SMDG. More recently, the car has been maintained

by RH Classics and used on high days and holidays.

To many, these ‘70s’ pillarless coupés were the most beautiful ever to leave Jaguar. This Daimler Double-Six, the flagship of the entire Jaguar/Daimler range, was 309th built of a worldwide production of just 407 cars and with just over 33,300 miles indicated, this is potentially the finest example of a Double-Six it is possible to own.

Originally registered as an ‘S’ Suffix, XPE 808S on 26th October 1977, BXI22 is finished in the very best colour combination of Regency Red with Biscuit Leather and Black Vinyl Roof.

It was shown at the Regent St. Motor Show in November 2016 by its current owner, who acquired the car in 2015 to go with his extensive collection of Jaguars and Daimlers. He sought the very best money could buy, and this was it. Almost entirely original it reflects the ownership it has enjoyed for most of its life. Its last two owners have maintained it with minimal use, and its longest custodian owned it for 26 years, during which time it was cherished, dry-stored and never taken out in the rain. During this owner’s usage, the car covered less than 3,000 miles in over a quarter of a century.

This Daimler has a substantial history file, which includes a large file of MOT certificates, as well as various communications between owners and interested parties. From studying these we have established that the car was originally the property of a wealthy London family, from whom the car was purchased by Devon Car Sales of Ashburton in 1983. Specialists in the supply of prestige and executive motor vehicles, it had a mileage of 12,500 with history to support. During the following three years, it was sold by DCS to a number of local Devon owners including to a local Barrister, showing just 22,000 miles. DCS then sold it for their final time in 1986 to a purchaser with 28,000 miles registered.The MOT test at the time showed just 27,437 miles.

Upon acquiring the car in 1986 Mr Griffith established all of the above via DCS and has noted their comment “Absolutely genuine and exceptional car. Short of one never used, it is as fine an example as one is ever likely to find.”

Mr Griffiths, having searched for the Holy Grail of Double-Sixes, finally found this one through a renowned classic and historic dealer in Hertford Heath, having rejected many others previously. The mileage was supported with an MOT test in September that year of 29,227 miles. In 1989, the car was taken to a Jaguar specialist in Leicester, with the task of bringing this nine-year-old car back to showroom

condition, ‘correcting anything that you find wrong’. There is a supporting invoice showing 30,551 miles and it was at this time the BXI22 number plate was attached to the car. Before parting with the car, the owner acquired a thorough Independent Inspection and Report, which contained only a few advisories and the purchasers attended to these as shown in the file. This owner had kept the car for 26 years before it was acquired by its penultimate owner in 2012. Our vendor acquired the car in 2015 as part of a similar search to Mr Griffith almost 30 years earlier.

This car, showing just 33,361 miles, has not been through a total restoration as is the case in most similar cars but is presented as almost certainly one of the most original cars still in existence.

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine ‘Supercar’ that defined the ‘70s and ‘80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS, which was increased to 3.0-litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche’s 917/30 Can-Am programme. The bodywork received special treatment to produce one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whaletail and the brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. The final evolution of the 930 Turbo saw the engine capacity increased to 3,299cc, with improved upgrades to the intercooler and the fitting of the vastly superior G50 transmission. By 1989, the final year of production, the power had risen to 330bhp and rose again to an impressive 380bhp for the ‘Limited Edition’ model.

This original right-hand drive, 930 Turbo Limited Edition (LE) was sold new on the 1st August 1989 by Rivervale, Berkshire. The factory option sticker under the bonnet shows it was supplied with the following option codes: heated seats (139), locking limited slip diff (220), shorter gear shift lever (243), sunroof (650) and velour carpeting (975). The original service booklet and wallet show 18 stamps from various specialists such as RGL, JAZ and Porsche

themselves. There are a large number of bills and receipts in the history folder for various jobs over the years and the mileage of 30,500 miles is corroborated by a number of MOT certificates dating back to 1993.

The car looks fabulous in its original colour of Grand Prix White and the paintwork appears to have aged well. The Linen Cream interior is also in beautiful condition, befitting a car that has covered just over 30,000 miles. Supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the original tyre inflator, a fresh MOT certificate and a spare key, we welcome any inspection on this vehicle. A full Porsche West London vehicle health check, carried out in May 2014, can be found in the history file and is available to any prospective purchasers.

The 930 Turbo was in production for an incredible 14 years and is the epitome of supercar design. The last 50 Limited Edition vehicles are arguably the most collectable of the 21,589 cars built, as they were only available to the UK market and represent an exclusive and exhilarating ownership proposition.

The 3.5-litre version of the 280SE typifies the resurgence of largerengined Mercedes-Benz models that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the progressive easing of fiscal constraints, which had dissuaded customers from buying cars with large-capacity engines, encouraged the German manufacturer to offer bigger, more potent power units. Thus, the ultra-luxurious 280SE Coupé/ Cabriolet and 300SEL saloon were the models chosen by MercedesBenz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in 1969. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 200bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 125mph with 60mph whispering by in 9.5 seconds, a substantial improvement on the sixcylinder version’s figures.

Although the equivalent SEL Saloon used the ‘New Generation’ bodyshell, the Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220SE and, as befitted top-of-therange luxury models came equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows and stereo radio as standard.

Significantly, the 280SE 3.5 was to be the final model to feature this long-established and much-admired body style, and today these lastof-the-line classics are highly sought after by discerning MercedesBenz collectors. But it’s not just their rarity that makes them so desirable since they also represent some of the quickest MercedesBenz models of that era.

The most prestigious of the 280SE Coupé and Cabriolet variants is the 3.5-litre V8 model made for just two years from 1969 to 1971, the majority of these in left-hand drive.

Without doubt a ‘60s (and ‘70s) pop icon, she was awarded an OBE in 2000 by the Queen and is now known as Lulu Kennedy-Cairns OBE. She kept this Coupé for approximately three years with the second owner, an Arabian businessman domiciled in London, selling it to its present owner, our vendor who has cherished and enjoyed ownership of this significant Mercedes for nearly thirty-eight years.

At the time, around Christmas 1981, whilst living in the fashionable West End he noticed the Coupé advertised in the Sunday Times by the exuberant motor trader John Lewis of Heathmans Row/King’s Road Chelsea.

Whilst in our vendor’s ownership, a renowned collector of all things Mercedes, the 280SE has been maintained to an excellent standard.

Only two respected marque specialists have cared for it throughout his thirty-eight-year ownership. Initially, service work was carried out

by Schmitt Automobiles in St John’s Wood. After a trip to Germany to have the Behr air conditioning fitted, as per factory installations, Die Autoschmiede undertook a restoration of the underside including both sills and then attended to the steering, ensuring this elegant Coupé drives faultlessly today It is still fitted with the original sunroof and with its Becker Mexico radio cassette player and we imagine that Mrs Marie Gibb would frequently have popped in a ‘Saturday Night Fever’ cassette to listen to her husband Maurice and his brothers.

Motor tax exempt and with a full MOT certificate, this three-owner car is a very usable example of a timeless classic with the cachet of ‘60s icon ownership.

NB. Our vendor advises us that the air conditioning may need recommissioning.

Offered here is a beautifully original, UK-supplied, RHD 1971 280SE Coupé delivered new to Highgate London in August 1971 to a Marie McDonald McLaughlin Gibb better known by her stage name Lulu and the then wife of Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. She is internationally identified with hits such as ’Shout’, ‘To Sir with Love’, and Eurovision success with ‘Boom Bang-a-Bang’.

The Porsche 911 (996) GT3 is the spiritual successor to the original ‘73 Carrera RS. It was designed to be lightweight and performancefocused with scant regard to luxury and comfort items that would add to the car’s weight but detract from its performance. It’s also the basis of the modern day ‘Carrera Cup Car’, which Porsche race worldwide in their own ‘one make’ series, and was produced in sufficient numbers to comply with the FIA homologation requirements necessary for the 911 to compete in the GT3 Class in International Sportscar Racing, where it had great success.

With a no-expense-spared maintenance record, the driving experience is said to be exceptional. Offered with a fresh MOT Certificate, this Porsche is ready to be used and enjoyed by its next owner.

Silverstone Auctions are big fans of the Porsche GT3 and this right-hand drive generation II example is no exception. The car was supplied new by Porsche Cars Great Britain on 21st May 2004 and has covered just over 64,750 miles from new with four previous owners.

Over £30,000 was spent with RPM Technik on mechanical work alone! Specifically, the suspension has been totally overhauled to achieve an even more track-focused 911 that can be driven to the circuit and then driven home afterwards.

Finished in Polaris Silver with black interior, the car has been stored in a temperature-controlled environment and is described as being

Introduced at the 1973 Paris Motor Show, the Dino 308 GT4 was a significant departure for Ferrari in several ways. It was the first production car from Modena to feature a mid-engined V8, a layout that would become common to their core range for decades to come, along with the first production model to feature Bertone styling rather than Pininfarina bodywork. The styling was controversial at the time, with some journalists comparing it to the Bertone-designed Lancia Stratos and Lamborghini Urraco. The chassis was based on the Dino 246 but was stretched to make space for a 2+2 configuration. The 3.0-litre V8 was integrally joined with the gearbox and had an alloy block and heads with dual overhead camshafts fed through 4 Weber 40 DCNF carburettors.

As is often the way, Bertone’s styling effort probably looks better now than it ever has, but at the time, the proportions gave traditionalists an attack of the vapours. For all this, the car was a huge success being bigger and more usable than any other midengine car had managed or would manage for a while. More than 3,600 were sold, dwarfing sales of V12 models and showing Ferrari the way forward. Today, these ‘70s Ferraris have come of age with their classic looks and brilliant handling and are as fast as you are ever going to need in the real world, with a top speed of over 150mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of 6.4 seconds.

PTN 516R is a UK, right-hand drive car finished in Giallo Fly with a Cream cloth interior and was first registered on 01/01/1977, presumably to take advantage of the suffix change at the start of the year. It has currently covered 65,970 miles and the details of its long and interesting life can be gleaned from the ownership file, which is about as comprehensive as we have ever seen. The car was fully prepped and subject to a bare-metal repaint between 08/02/1998 and 11/02/1999 and photographs of this process are in the history file. The cam belts were done 2,900 miles ago in 2012, the clutch was replaced two years later, and at c500 miles between MOT tests, it simply isn’t being used enough.

Along with the photographs from the respray, the ownership file contains nigh on 40 years of invoices relating to parts and servicing, all its MOT certificates, a number of old tax discs, a maintenance

folder, workshop manual, spares catalogue, and a 308GT4 instruction book. Also included with the car are both sets of keys and a copy of the July edition of Classic and Sportscar featuring Ferraris and highlighting PTN 516R in the ‘One to buy’ column (page 226). During their road-test, C&SC observed that “There is no rust, even in the doors, the motor is nicely detailed with no leaks” and “It starts easily and drives well”.

The 308 GT4 has been a bit of an underdog for many years but, as a drivers’ car, is superb in every way and has earned the right to call itself “A Ferrari”. Recent results have witnessed a lift in prices as the collectors’ car world wakes up to the potential of these great little Ferraris.

Introduced in 1974 and made until 1977, the 911 2.7 MFI was manufactured in similar numbers to its earlier sibling - the 2.7 Carrera RS. However, right-hand drive production of the MFI was very limited and just 48 cars exist worldwide today. Weighing just 1,075 kilograms and equipped with the 210bhp, 2687cc Type 911/83 air cooled flat 6 engine, incorporating Bosch mechanical fuel injection - hence ‘MFI’- it was the pinnacle of the performance derivatives of the G-Series chassis.

Its performance was excellent, quicker in fact than any 911 produced before or after it for the next decade. 0-60mph took just 5 seconds and the car would continue to accelerate up to over 150mph. Today, just 21 UK right-hand drive Coupé examples exist on the Carrera 2.7 MFI registry and this one was supplied on the 13th November 1975 by Swinford Motors of Stourbridge.

Still finished in its original colour combination of Ice Green with black half leather, and with its original engine and gearbox, this matching numbers, UK example is fresh from a complete restoration and repaint. The detailed restoration took many months to complete and all the key original panels were retained, including the sills and floor pans, with great care and attention to detail to preserve the originality and authenticity of this 55,000-mile car. Renowned

Porsche specialists, RS 911, were responsible for the detailed strip, rebuild and repaint, whilst the rebuild of the engine, gearbox and diff were entrusted to Phil Hindley’s highly respected Tech 9 Motorsport in Liverpool.

Additionally, the suspension, brakes and wiring were all refurbished or replaced by RS 911 and the standard of this particular restoration must be seen today to be fully appreciated. The car represents an extremely rare investment opportunity, particularly at this price guide, for the astute Porsche collector and Silverstone Auctions are proud of their association with this very special car.

The comprehensive history file includes many invoices past and present, as well as previous MOT certificates and photographic documentation of the restoration.

The world famous E-Type was introduced in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show. It was initially designed and shown to the public as a rear-wheel drive grand tourer in a two-seater coupé form and later in a convertible body style. The 2+2 version with a lengthened wheelbase was released several years later. Throughout the life span of the E-Type, it has been regarded as one of the most iconic automobile design icons of the 1960s. At launch, even Enzo Ferrari was quoted as saying it was “the most beautiful car in the world”.

Here we have one of the last of the Series I Jaguar E-Types, built as a more practical 2 plus 2, that was first registered in 1967. It is a UK-supplied right-hand drive car with the original engine and gearbox and is offered as a ‘matching numbers’ example.

The car has had an earlier, but very thorough, restoration between 1989 and 1997, which the history file confirms was a thorough and comprehensive job, with all relevant invoices and a complete photographic record on file. The current registered keeper has had the car since 1997 and maintained it properly throughout his ownership. In fact, this car has only had two former keepers from new. Well worthy of a close inspection, this Lot is both an affordable and original E-Type that is highly usable and ideal to take the kids with you when required. It comes with 12 months’ MOT certificate validity and a complete history file.

The second chapter in this RS500’s life began in April 2017 when it was rescued by Cosworth specialist John Taylor who was tasked with returning the car to its best. This work included a comprehensive engine service with all fluids and belts changed (original belts retained and boxed), a full flush of the fuel system, as well as a thorough brake service. The only items that have been changed are the front and rear brake discs and pads (original items retained) for safety purposes, the fuel tank (sediment from old fuel evaporation), and a new battery. The vehicle has also been independently checked and MOT tested prior to being offered for auction.

The focus of John Taylor’s recommissioning was to present the car in its original unrestored condition, whilst being mechanically sound.

All the glass is correct and both dated (1986) and etched with the vehicle’s registration number. All panels are also original, as are the wheels still wearing their original Dunlop D40s and knock-on wheel weights from new, the spare wheel having never been used still showing its original manufacturing marks. We understand that the electrics work fully, and the engine runs sweetly.

The interior is in excellent condition. The dashboard and door cards are unmarked with no evidence of cracking, the steering wheel still shows its original white stitching, and the seatbelts with vibrant red

This very special 1987 RS500 (No.387) has covered less than 11,000 miles and has enjoyed a very quiet life for the last 26 years.

Number 387 went to Tickford on the 21st July 1987 with 8 miles on the clock, exiting on the 28th July 1987 with 22 miles indicated.

It was supplied initially by Haynes of Maidstone to its first keeper, a very proud Mr. K.P. Souter, a local businessman who ran the Cosworth for 13 months. It then became the property of one of the world’s wealthiest men who had extensive business interests in Ireland and India and he and his family used this particular car only very occasionally when they were staying at his English country estate, although it was to remain in his ownership for the next 29 years. The family ran the car for three years before parking it in one of their estate garages in late 1991, where it remained untouched for some 26 years. During their tenure, the car was MOT tested on the 12th September 1991 with a recorded mileage of 10,067.

push buttons have not faded. The boot appears never to have been used.

Service history with the car includes the 1,500-mile service carried out by Haynes of Maidstone at the recorded mileage of 817 on the 9th November 1987 and the service sheet remains with the service book detailing the checks undertaken at the time. The next service was carried out by MJA Auto Group on the 24th October 1988 at a recorded mileage of 4,428.

Within the car’s history file are the ‘Ford Safety’ recall documentation, all driver’s handbooks presented in the original Haynes white folder, copies of the DVLA paperwork from first registration to current date, along with a parking ticket dated 2nd June 1990 issued by Surrey Constabulary, a period ‘International Driving Permit’ for its famous owner, an insurance cover note from 1988, and two old tax discs.

Sporty cars of the ‘80s and ‘90s are becoming increasingly soughtafter and are some of the fastest appreciating classics in the current market, with the appetite for well-kept, low-volume Fords, in particular, showing no signs of abating. Now offered for sale for effectively the first time, this lovely Cosworth RS500 is about as close to original as you will ever find and is an absolute must for the astute collector and enthusiast, as well as being tremendous fun to drive.

Two years after Lamborghini debuted the mid-engined Miura in 1966, Ferrari launched its defiantly traditional and determinedly contrasting alternative, the 365 GTB/4. Almost immediately the 365 GTB/4 gained its ‘Daytona’ moniker from Ferrari’s 1-2-3 result in the 1967 24-hour race of the same name.

The Daytona’s engine and handling certainly didn’t undermine its racing moniker. The 4.4-litre 4-cam V12 produced an astonishing 352bhp and was billed as the fastest road car in the world. Not only was 175mph more than brisk, but, crucially, it was faster than the Miura. The 5-speed gearbox was mounted at the rear for optimal weight distribution and helped give the Daytona its predictable handling and solid road-holding.

Silverstone Auctions are delighted to offer this exceptional and famously owned Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona, finished in Rosso Chiaro with Black interior as per the manufacturer’s specification. Delivered new on the 3rd August 1972 through Maranello Concessionaires Ltd, this confirmed matching numbers example is one of only 158 genuine right-hand drive vehicles supplied and is one of the nicest Daytonas we have seen in recent years.

the 5-speed range and the car is simply a joy to drive whether on the open highway or in town.

To aid the stopping power Ferrari fitted servo-assisted brakes to the four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. Air conditioning was optional and was fitted at the factory on this car, but elsewhere the Daytona remained focused on delivering nothing less than a superlative highperformance driving experience.

A full and complete history file supports this vehicle, with copies of the original build sheets, order forms, delivery correspondence, and a chronologically ordered file of every Ferrari service bill and receipt from new. In addition, it is complemented with a complete set of original MOT certificates to support its genuine mileage of 81,675 miles and has benefited from a recent full service and inspection, refurbishment of the original magnesium wheels, and new Michelin XWX tyres. We encourage pre-sale inspections and welcome prospective bidders to contact the office for further details on this very special UK Daytona with a pure rock and roll history.

Early registration information identifies famous Ferrari enthusiast Mr Elton John, of 14 Abbots Drive, Wentworth, Surrey, as the recorded owner and keeper of the car from 1973-1975. It is believed that Sir Elton purchased the Daytona off the back of his single success and release of his famed album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’. Ownership history is fully known and has been made up of Ferrari Owners’ Club member-owners. The last private collector proudly owned the car for 16 years, garaging and maintaining the vehicle regardless of cost.

The bodywork is presented in excellent order, the door shuts and panel fit are exceptional and the Rosso Chiaro paintwork still retains a deep shine throughout. The interior has been trimmed in factory specification Black VM8500 Connolly Vaumol hide and complete with correct Ferrari-supplied punched, holed inserts.

The Daytona’s V12 engine fires instantly into life and with an original power output of 352bhp, capable of 175mph, the car has blistering performance for its age. The gearbox changes effortlessly through

This car represents the end of an era. After 67 years of making one of the most iconic off-roaders, Land Rover have finally called time on the Defender, so closely linked in heart, body and soul to the original Series I. To mark the occasion, Land Rover launched the final Defender Heritage series. Limited to just 400, the last ever Land Rover is known as the ‘Celebration Limited Edition’, and the very final one produced rolled off the production at 9.15am on the 29th January 2016. It was the 2,016,933rd Defender built at Solihull and thus became the last true Land Rover.

Silverstone Auctions are very proud to offer this car with such a distinguished pedigree and which, in our opinion, represents the very best of a great British tradition and is now highly collectable.

Never has there been a car that has so captured the imagination of the world. Land Rovers have saved lives, won wars, delivered aid and hope, conveyed Kings and Queens and numerous Popes, ferried injured animals from the lowliest sheep to the proudest lion to safety. The Land Rover has conquered ravines, deserts and snow, broken records and along the way won the hearts of millions.

This particular Heritage 90, was delivered new on the 28th November 2015 to its one distinguished current owner from new, Mr. Rowan Atkinson CBE, who has recently upgraded to the 110 fourdoor version.

The 3.0 Carrera was sold between 1976-1977 and sat neatly between the standard 911 and the 930 Turbo. During that short period, only 3,687 cars were produced, which was a very small number compared to nearly 58,000 911SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras that were manufactured. This stunning 1977 Porsche 911 3.0 Carrera Coupé is a rare and original, UK-delivered, ‘Sport’ model and we believe there are probably less than 40 right-hand drive ‘true factory-built’ Carrera 3.0 Sports in Britain.

The engine was developed from the power plant in the very rare Carrera 3.0RS, of which only 109 were built. It produces 200 bhp at 6,000rpm and has 188lb-ft of torque at 4,200rpm resulting in almost identical 0-60 and 0-100mph performance figures to the original 2.7RS and 2.7 Carreras.

This lovely Carrera Sport was first registered on the 23rd April 1977, to a Mr W.H. Cowling of Uckfield by supplying dealer Malaya Garage, Billinghurst. It’s finished in Minerva Blue (W9W9) with Black Leatherette inlaid with Tartan cloth, a really popular period choice.

The indicated mileage is 108,082, which we believe to be correct, supported by the continuous MOT certificates. Service details below: Stamped in book 10/05/77 @ 1,067 miles

The ‘Sport Option Pack’ was a list of M-Codes available only in the UK and included front and rear spoilers, the ubiquitous Whale Tail, anodised aluminium in place of chrome trim, Bilstein dampers, sports seats, and wider Fuchs alloys.

In the early days of the 911, the car continued to be developed and improved on an annual basis and the 1969 C-series models saw a huge step forward in the car’s evolution, with a longer wheelbase, wider wheels, low profile tyres, improved lighting, trim and ventilation, stronger suspension and brakes, plus the introduction of the excellent, race-derived, CD ignition and mechanical fuel injection. These advances were consolidated in the forthcoming 2.2-litre range.

The D-series 911 models were produced from August 1970 until July 1971, and for model-year 1970, the engines of all 911s were increased to 2,195cc. The 911S 2.2 was fitted with the SOHC flat 6-cylinder Type 911/02 engine, with an uprated power output of 180bhp at 6,500rpm, giving it a claimed top speed of 138mph and a 0-60 mph time of 7.0 seconds. It had a 5-speed manual transaxle, 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes and 4-wheel independent suspension.

The iconic 2.2 911S was immortalised by Steve McQueen in the opening scenes of the cult movie Le Mans, McQueen is seen charging around the French country roads with the glorious sound of its flat-six, creating arguably the most memorable scene of the film. The 2.2S stayed in production for just 1969-71 and with fewer numbers manufactured than the 2.4S. We are pleased to offer this particular 911 S 2.2 Coupé, which was manufactured in February 1970 in left-hand drive form and was subsequently delivered to the USA where is was sold to its first owner in March of that year. Specifications and options at that time included a black leatherette interior, front and rear spoiler delete and tinted side glass and windshield. First registered in the UK on 9th September 2000, this car was sourced by our vendor, himself a serial Porsche owner for the last 20 years, who purchased it in January 2011. This ‘matching numbers’ car is finished in Ivory White with a black interior and whilst the body and paintwork were in excellent condition, our vendor felt other areas of the car could be improved upon.

carburettors were sent away to a specialist for a full rebuild at the same time. The gearbox was stripped and all five synchros were replaced, before being reassembled and mated to the engine once again. New engine mounts, fuel hoses and a fuel pump were also fitted at this time, for which there are invoices included in the file.

The car was then sent to Sportwagen where it had some minor cosmetic work and new front and rear torsion bars, along with new rear shock absorbers. New Rennsport Sports seats with black corduroy centres were fitted, giving the interior a stylish look. The result of all this focused effort is a remarkable car with quality paintwork and excellent panel gaps. It retains its original aluminium engine lid and, unlike most US-cars of this era, the original dashboard remains straight and crack-free. The gauges have been restored and we believe the Blaupunkt ‘Frankfurt’ radio is period correct and original to the car.

Our vendor comments that this 911 S 2.2 is “a true pleasure to drive with its rev-happy feel. The engine starts easily, pulls strongly through the rev range with a tight ride, excellent handling and braking. The five-speed dog-leg changes smoothly and is truly addictive.”

Supplied with a good history file, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, its original driver’s manual, and a jack and toolkit, this matching numbers car is MOT tested until 8th February 2018.

With 911S 2.2s becoming increasingly rare in the market place, this quality example would make a sensible investment, or is simply ready to be driven as intended.

The car was sent to respected marque specialist JAZ Porsche who removed the engine and gearbox. The top ancillaries were stripped off and items powder coated/replaced where necessary. The

The 3.0 CSL is a lightweight, performance-oriented version of the standard 3.0 CS/3.0 CSi coupé. Utilising the E9 platform, the 3.0 CSL was unveiled at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show and was introduced in May 1972 as a homologation model for the German Touring Car Championship developed by a separate division within BMW AG, a division that would later become BMW Motorsport GmbH. The CSL achieved some great results, with wins at Le Mans in the touring car class in 1973 and 1974, the IMSA GT Championship in 1975, and winning the European Touring Car Championships every year from 1973 to 1979 (apart from a minor blip in 1974).

The ‘L’ in the designation meant leicht (light), unlike in other BMW designations, where it meant lang (long). A total of 1,096 CSLs were built, with just 500 of these being imported into the UK. The great majority of UK cars had the ‘City Package’ option fitted, designed to make the 3.0 CSL more usable as a daily driver. These versions retained the standard interior trim, negating the total weight saving somewhat, but the other benefits were retained, including aero kit, thinner gauge steel, and aluminium parts.

Early CSLs, produced in late 1971 and early 1972, utilised the standard 2,985cc M30 inline-6 engine with twin carburettors and were only offered in left hand drive. They were replaced by a fuelinjected model displacing 3,003cc available in right hand drive during late 1972 and early 1973. The final cars, all left hand drive and with a larger fuel-injected 3,153cc engine, were built in two distinct production runs during late 1973 and 1974-75.

Metallic with the obligatory black Scheel sports seats upholstered in cloth with leatherette bolsters. We understand the car has had just four previous owners; however, the last two were in the same family, owning the car collectively for the last 30 years. It is believed the car was put into heated dry storage in 1997 when its owner at the time was working overseas, and unfortunately, the car’s service book was misplaced during this period.

All fuel-injected CSLs have a unique model code and chassis number sequence. Fuel-injected CSLs with the 3.0-litre motor have VINs that run from 2275001 through 2275429 (left-hand drive version) and 2285001 through 2285500 (right-hand drive version).

REC 400M was purchased by our BMW-enthusiast vendor because of its exceptional condition, appearing rust-free and a matching numbers example, and he commissioned a complete bare-metal professional restoration. With the car being so unspoiled, many original parts were simply cleaned, renewed and reinstalled. Where this wasn’t possible, genuine new-old-stock BMW parts were used.

The result is simply stunning, a best-of-both-worlds car – bringing collectively a sense of real authenticity plus the reassurance that every component is as good as it could be. Now being sold due to a change in circumstances from a small collection of other classic cars, this stunning CSL is simply not to be missed.

The car presented here is a 1973 BMW CSL 3.0 (model 3,452), and is a genuine, right-hand drive, UK-specification model (chassis #2285416), thus being the 416th right hand dive CSL model produced, and one of only 151 such examples imported in 1973.

These low production, homologation BMW CSLs often feature as a choice in car enthusiasts’ ‘dream garage’ scenario, and it’s with good reason – beautifully engineered machines that have that special feel, unique to BMW.

To help them conquer their Italian rivals, Aston enlisted the help, ironically, of Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Zagato whose brief was to use the existing DB4GT platform to produce a new car that would be more competitive than its predecessor. Launched at the 1960 London Motor Show, the new Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato was beautifully crafted and boasted a more aerodynamic body shape with a more pronounced and elongated nose and a rear end reminiscent of that of a Ferrari 250 GT SWB. Considered by many as one of the most beautiful Aston Martins ever made, Zagato were also able to shed 50kgs of weight and add 12bhp to the output. Only 19 of these wonderful cars were ever created, making them highly sought-after and desirable cars today – indeed, the last one to appear at auction in 2015 sold for $14.3million!

For many automotive manufacturers during the 1960s, mastery in the World Sports Car Championship was high on the priority list. Aston Martin, Ford and Ferrari were battling it out at the ultimate endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and a win and second place for Aston Martin in the 1959 race ensured the sixties would become very competitive indeed. Whilst the Ferrari team succeeded in evolving their race cars, Aston Martin tried in vain with the introduction of the DB4GT, but it simply wasn’t enough.

Martin DB7 Vantage. The donor vehicle had been subject to light panel and bumper damage and hence is recorded as a Category D insurance loss, but this made it the ideal candidate to be re-bodied and modified.

The relatively modern chassis and running gear should ensure reliability and the developed drivetrain will handle power delivery with the 6.0-litre V12 pushing out a whopping 420bhp! The conversion has been carried out thoughtfully and the sumptuous red leather interior, new dashboard arrangement, new seatbelt anchor points and door cards are examples of modern design solutions in a ’60s classic. Most recently the car has been superbly painted in Aston Racing Green, reminiscent of the famous race car original ‘2 VEV’.

1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 ‘Sprint Speciale’ by Bertone

Launched in 1957, the Sprint Speciale was a stunning design unmistakably derived from the legendary Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica, or B.A.T., show cars created by Carrozzeria Bertone in the mid-1950s. Those aerodynamic studies offered lots of design solutions when Alfa were considering a competition version of the Bertone-bodied Giulietta Sprint Veloce. With its extremely low drag coefficient of 0.29, the SS was aimed at motorsport, and a limited number were produced to meet FIA Homologation rules.

The Speciale utilised the lightweight construction that had been so effective in the chassis design of the popular Giulietta Spider, and the coachwork was undoubtedly distinctive with its domed roofline and rounded wings.

correct-type 1600 engine. Further photos of the car as discovered, as well as its restoration, are in the car’s ownership file along with its EU Registration and NOVA details.

This is a lovely example of a rare car (1 of 1,339 worldwide).

The restoration looks excellent with a sufficient number of gently patinated controls etc. to stop it becoming a trailer queen and encouraging it to be driven – after all, it is an Alfa!

These are pleasurable and rewarding driver’s cars with light controls and spirited competition-derived handling. Very few classics have this ability to tour so effortlessly, efficiently and in such style!

The Giulietta’s willing little 1,300cc, all-alloy, four-cylinder engine provided enough power to push the svelte two-seater coupé to almost 120mph, which was considerably more than its conventionally bodied Sprint coupé and Spider siblings could achieve. When the 101 Series Giulia was introduced in 1962, it was powered by a 116bhp, 1,570cc DOHC in-line, four-cylinder engine with a Weber DCOE carburettor mated to a five-speed manual transmission, and the Sprint Speciale inherited the engine, the gearbox, and the Giulia name. The pure aerodynamics applied to the design resulted in the Sprint Speciale having very low wind noise at high speeds and a top speed of over 125mph.

The example offered here is from the first year of Giulia SS production. It was built on 1 October 1963, finished in the traditional Alfa Romeo Red, and just six days later, on the 7th, it was sold to the Alfa Romeo dealer in Brussels. The car is believed to have resided in Belgium for the majority of its subsequent life and it was there that it was discovered in 2006 by a previous owner. Though finished in blue with a white nose and stripe, the original colour was evident beneath the trim pieces as well as in the interior. When acquired by a later owner in 2013 the decision was taken to return the car to top form, and the SS was then subject to a comprehensive restoration beginning in 2014 and recently completed. Restored to its original colour and trimmed with matching red carpeting and two-tone red and white seats, the Alfa has also been fitted with a

The Lotus Carlton is a legend and the kind of car that comes along once in a generation. At a time when really fast four-door saloons were the preserve of BMW and Mercedes, this Vauxhall (Opel) derived super-saloon arrived on the scene in 1990 demolishing the opposition. Although it shared its major components with a mainstream executive car, its level of development across every aspect of automotive dynamics had resulted in a truly special performance car.

It was powered by a twin-turbo version of the venerable straightsix used in the Senator, which developed a remarkable 377bhp. To achieve that figure, Lotus had put a lot of work into the 3.6-litre power unit, uprating and strengthening the bottom end, porting the 24-valve cylinder head (from the Carlton GSI), and fitting forged ‘slipper pistons’ made by Mahle atop new Lotus-designed connecting rods tied to a counterweighted, forged steel crankshaft.

The gearbox was the same six-speeder used in the Corvette ZR-1, the only transmission in GM’s parts bin, capable of handling the car’s monster torque. AP Group-C derived brakes - four-pot calipers with 330mm ventilated discs at the front and two-pot at the rear – sat behind specially developed Goodyear tyres.

Based on a civilised modern saloon car, the Lotus Carlton was tractable, light and well-mannered in town traffic. However, when required, performance was nothing short of epic - 0-60mph came up in 5.0 seconds, 0-100 was dispatched in 11.1 seconds, and in 1992 Autocar Magazine recorded a time of 17.0 seconds for their 0-100-0 challenge, 2nd best behind an F40; however, it’s the car’s maximum speed of 176mph that will always be quoted by its fans.

The lovely Carlton presented here was supplied new through SMT Vauxhall of Edinburgh in February 1991 finished in the obligatory Imperial Green. It’s car Number 0030 out of a limited production of 284 UK, right-hand drive models and has covered a warranted 73,000 miles from new.

Our vendor, who has many years of experience in the automotive industry, searched high and low to locate and purchase the best example he could find. This unmolested and well cared-for car

fitted the bill perfectly, being particularly strong in areas of known weakness for this model. It comes with a comprehensive service history and has been serviced routinely from 9,088 miles to 54,204 miles at either ‘Monorep Ltd.’ of Southall or ‘Frost’s (Cars) Ltd.’ of Shoreham-by-Sea, both Lotus Carlton supplying dealerships and Lotus technical centres, plus three more services from independent garages up to date.

It is a completely standard car, which performs as well as you’d expect, having been treated in recent times to a new clutch with related auxiliaries and a new exhaust. There are numerous receipts in the history file for maintenance and parts, and the car comes with its original numbered Lotus Carlton book (presented to each owner at the time of sale), its Maintenance Programme, build records and a genuine Workshop Manual.

The product of the finest motorsport brains of the decade, these cars are still seriously quick even by today’s standards, and the opportunity to acquire such a genuine and well-maintained example of this modern classic is surely not to be missed.

Launched in 1963 to replace the underpowered 190SL and utilising some of the new manufacturing techniques being pioneered in the latest ‘S’ Class, the Paul Bracq-designed 230SL was proudly unveiled to an appreciative audience at the Geneva Motor Show.

Remaining in production until 1971 with around 49,000 finding homes, the W113 Class, frequently referred to as the ‘Pagoda’, eventually spanned three engine sizes.

The same show, four years later in 1967, coincidentally saw the introduction of the W113-250SL. The new car retained the stiffer suspension and sporty feel of the earlier cars, but provided improved agility with its larger (2.5-litre) engine and was now fitted with rear disc brakes and a larger tank. The new car was offered with a 4-speed Automatic transmission or a 4 or 5-speed ZF gearbox.

Replaced in January 1968 by the 280SL, its one-year production run makes the 250SL the rarest of the W113 series.

specification, while the woodwork was restored by Chapman & Cliff in Nantwich, formerly of Rolls-Royce.

The California Coupé also benefited from a top-end engine overhaul with all new valves and guides and the engine bay was refurbished while the unit was out. The car was serviced at the same time. Its factory-fitted extras include automatic transmission, power-assisted steering, ‘Sundym’ tinted glass all-around (a notably rare option) and a Motorola push-button radio.

This pretty little Mercedes presents delightfully, and in common with every other ‘Pagoda’ regardless of engine size, is a timeless, bluechip, classless ‘Classic’ and being an ultra-rare, right-hand drive California merits serious consideration.

Even rarer still was the 250SL ‘California Coupé’ in which the folded soft top was removed and the space utilised for a fold-down rear bench making the car effectively a 2+2. The hardtop was redesigned to provide more headroom and a window for rear-seat passengers.

The fact that if you left the hard top off, you became reliant on the weather remaining fair, meant that the majority of these coupés were sold, not surprisingly, in California. The 250SL did not sell in huge numbers during its 12-month period on the US market and as less than 10% of these were California Coupés, it follows that they were very rare in-period and particularly sought-after now.

This, right-hand drive, 250 SL California Coupé is a truly fine example of its type and is finished in Tunis Beige Metallic and trimmed in black. ‘XMB 824E’ remained in the same family ownership for 35 years, after which our vendor has looked after and dry-stored the car, in his significant private collection, for the past three years. The car has also been treated to a major restoration of notably high quality in recent years. We’re informed this included a complete repaint, during which all the brightwork was removed and either rechromed or replaced. The interior was completely refurbished with new leather seats and carpets to the original

There have been volumes written about the Jaguar E-Type, indeed there is no other British car, apart from perhaps the Mini, that has generated such a cult following. So it’s probably more appropriate to concentrate on the many merits of this exceptional E-Type Fixed Head Coupé on offer today.

This is a beautifully-restored and fine example of a 1962 Series I 3.8-litre Jaguar E-Type Coupé, one of just 1,799 in right-hand drive. Built in the summer of ‘62 and supplied to the UK home market, this E-Type still retains its original registration mark of ‘801 DBU’ as confirmed by the JDHT Certificate on file. An older, but comprehensive restoration has brought the car up to a fantastic overall condition with specialist maintenance since that time, preserving and building upon a great basis. The evidence for all of this is on file, and over the last year over £45,000 has been spent with a prominent E-Type specialist carrying out the following work: a complete interior re-trim, and a comprehensive engine rebuild (including polished and ported head, larger valves re-bore +.40, new bearings pistons etc. and lightened flywheel).

files and photographs of all the work carried out and is also accompanied by an original Series 1 Book Pouch and owner’s handbooks. As with a great number of E-Types supplied to the UK, and indeed the cooler climates of Europe, it is likely that this example was unable to escape the inevitable frost damage to its original engine block and an identical MkII 3.8 block was sourced as a replacement at some point. Mated to the original and matching numbers Cylinder Head, this fully rebuilt engine pulls with great strength and enhances the overall driving experience.

In essence: a rare and beautifully restored right-hand drive Coupé that has received many sensible upgrades for greater reliability and more enjoyable driving.

Since then, it has been Dyno tested with the print-out indicating that it was producing 267bhp at the flywheel at 5500rpm. It also benefits from an upgraded ‘Elite Racing’ five-speed gearbox, (the original Moss gearbox is included within the sale), and complete clutch pack. It has also had a full suspension rebuild with Polyurethane bushes and Gaz dampers, as well as a 22mm vented brake kit, including Fosseway 4-pot calipers and special piston assembly at the rear. Naturally, the best EBC ‘Green Stuff’ pads are fitted front and rear. Finally, a new Fosseway finned (Series 1) aluminium radiator cools the engine, which has a Hi-Torque starter motor fitted with a C42 Dynator, also by Fosseway, including a change to negative earth, so a Voltmeter replaces the Ammeter.

Enhanced engine performance comes from an FIA Exhaust Manifold, a 2-inch SS exhaust system by Ecosse, and a 123 Electronic ignition system. It sits on new, triple-spoke, painted 15 x 6J wire wheels, as per 1962 spec, and new Pirelli Cinturato CA67 tyres.

The paintwork has been professionally detailed and machine polished to a Concours standard. The car comes with full detailed

In 1971, the 3.0CS made its debut in the UK, followed swiftly by the introduction of the more powerful 3.0CSi fuel-injected version, becoming BMW’s first 200bhp plus machine, giving it real onthe-road punch. In recent years, sale prices of its big brother, the legendary ‘CSL’ have dramatically risen and, not unnaturally, the CSi is beginning to follow.

This, left-hand drive, matching-numbers, 3.0CSi, was originally sold new in Sweden in 1973. In more recent times, a dedicated enthusiast in Denmark has owned the car for 15 years and during his tenure has looked after it on a ‘no-expense-spared’ basis. A few years ago, whilst mechanically the car was in good condition, the paint was beginning to show some age so the decision was taken to entrust this lovely cCoupé to the Copenhagen-based, ‘Stelvio Automobili’, who were tasked with restoring the bodywork. After it was professionally prepared, it was treated to several coats of the original Polaris Silver Metallic and there are details and photographs in the history file detailing the extensive work carried out.

love and attention this car has enjoyed, the exterior presents very nicely with a deep shine from the striking Silver metallic paintwork.

The interior is excellent and looks to be broadly original, with the correct leather and blue carpets.

The odometer is showing a little over 86,000km and, whilst we can’t verify if this is the total mileage from new, you might tend to believe it given the car’s condition. It is fitted with the rare BMW toolkit, four powered windows, and an electrically powered sunroof.

Finally, there is a good history file containing various invoices for the aforementioned work, Danish registration documents, more recent invoices, and the fresh MOT certificate.

This very smart 3.0CSi Coupé is usable on a daily basis and is a stylish way to enjoy classic motoring. A wonderful opportunity to own a very special ‘Classic’ whose stock is unquestionably on the rise.

Our vendor, a senior BMW man, purchased the car from Stelvio two years ago, after the work was completed, registered it here and has enjoyed it ever since. Before he took delivery, he requested the car was undersealed after the restoration. As you would expect, from the

The Series 1 E-Type (as it has subsequently become known) was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961 using the triple SU carburetted, 3.8-litre, six-cylinder XK engine from the XK150S. The car continued to be developed over time with the first major changes arriving in 1964 including an increase in capacity to 4.2 litres. There was never a fixed specification or official designation for this interim model, although, with the arrival of the, officially named ‘Series 2’, the early cars became Series 1s and the interim cars, logically, Series 1.5.

These cars can be recognised by their open headlights, small ‘mouth’ air intake, tail lights and indicators above the bumpers, and the exhaust tips under the number plate at the rear. It is undoubtedly one of the rarest of the E-Type variations as just 1,942 were made in right-hand drive out of a total for the model as a whole of 72,515. Enthusiasts claim that it is the best driving and most nimble derivative, and the 4.2-litre engine and all-synchromesh gearbox offered increased power and usability whilst retaining the fabulous looks of the earlier cars.

Naturally there are enthusiasts for every iteration of E-Type from the early, flat-floor, Moss-gearbox, skinny seat cars to the voluptuous and voluminous, V12 Series 3, however, those folk that really know, suggest that a 1.5 with a few desirable upgrades from the Series 2 would represent the ultimate, which is exactly what we have here!

by our vendor in early 2002 with the intention of converting it to righthand drive and carrying out a full restoration. As is often the case, this turned into a major project and took over nine years (first registered on 10/11/2011) but the work was carried out carefully and correctly and the result is here for us all to see.

The list is too extensive to detail here but to summarise: the car was treated to a full glass out, everything out, bare-metal preparation and professional respray in Opalescent Silver Blue. The engine was stripped and rebuilt with a new timing chain, the all-synchromesh gearbox was opened and checked through, new clutch, rebuilt rear axle, new springs, new radiator, new front suspension, steering rack, track rod ends, ‘Coopercraft brakes’, new fuel tank, larger chrome wire wheels (16x5-inch rear and 15x5-inch front) new wiring loom, plus numerous other parts. It was obviously converted to right-hand drive during this process. The interior was totally retrimmed in sumptuous Blue Leather and the full-length sunroof was finished in a matching colour.

After six years of light use, having covered just over 1,000 miles since the restoration, our vendor has decided to let someone else have the pleasure of his nine-year labour of love. Recently freshly MOT tested (20/06/17 at 1,023 miles) the Jaguar is accompanied by all the usual documentation, old MOT certificates, photos and a substantial pile of invoices. An excellent example of quite a rare E-Type and worth a closer look.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the ‘Carrera’ name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.

The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150mph, with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.

This lovely 1987 3.2 Carrera Sport G50 Coupé was first registered on 6/02/1987 and was a Porsche GB car for three months before being enjoyed by three owners over the next 30 years. Oddly enough, each of its previous owners has kept the car for around 10 or 11 years, with our vendor acquiring D738 VCN on 12/10/2005.

The car looks particularly stylish in Diamond Blue Metallic with colourcoded Fuchs alloys and a very smart interior, with the factory optional 8-way electric half-black leather seats with Porsche standard black and white pinstripe centres.

Still wearing its dealer supplied registration plates, this car is in incredible condition throughout. Lift up the boot floor for instance and the original spare wheel has never been fitted to the car and the jack appears new. The interior is really impressive and the Recaro seats show little wear.

BMW’s so-called ‘New Class’ Coupé was debuted in the summer of 1965. It marked the end of the company’s V8-powered range and served to introduce the new 2-litre, four-cylinder version of its OHC M10 engine which, as fitted to the CS model, was equipped with twin carburettors and produced a sprightly 120bhp. Unlike the slightly milder-tuned 2000 C, the CS was only available with fourspeed manual transmission. Whereas the outgoing 3200 CS featured styling by Bertone, the newcomer was the work of the designers at Karmann, whose changes largely concentrated on the iconic front end. The critically acclaimed ‘Sharknose’ design has been a feature of all BMW models since, and elements of the styling can still be seen in BMW’s current range.

Presenting very well in the factory colour of Chamonix White with a Blue Velour interior, the car is offered with a fresh MOT certificate and a shade over 30,000 kilometres on the odometer.

Offered to auction from a large collection of exotic motorcars, and although modest in value, the car’s styling fitted in perfectly alongside our vendor’s Ferrari Lusso and early E-Type. The BMW Heritage Certificate states that the car was delivered new to Bad Homburg, Germany on the 8th July 1966. During his time in Bahrain, our vendor found the car and brought it to the UK in February 2017, whereupon a NOVA certificate was issued with any applicable taxes settled at the time. The car has a fresh MOT valid until 07/072018.

The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a direct replacement for the Dino 246. Designed by Pininfarina with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, the 308 has gone on to become one of the most recognised Ferraris of all time. In 1982/3, Ferrari introduced the four-valve per cylinder Quattrovalvole, or QV, following their attempts to comply with American regulations with an emission-reducing, fuel-injected engine, which, unfortunately, also reduced the power output significantly. The QV engine restored the status quo pushing the power output back up to 240hp and rescuing the Ferrari’s reputation.

Only 748 308 GTB QVs were produced, with one-third being European models, and these scarce cars are considered by many to be the most collectable of the steel 308s.

This 1983 308 GTB QV is one of 74 produced in right-hand drive and has covered just over 34,000 miles in the hands of its four owners. This rare car has clearly been well looked after throughout its life, indeed the previous owner stored the car in his private collection for 22 years, only covering around 5,000 miles during this period. The service history accompanying the car, details a lot of the work carried out throughout its life since leaving the factory in 1983.

The file also details the two changes of speedometer head, due to

The Silverstone Classic Sale 2017

two faulty units, in 83 and 91, but these changes are documented in the file and it’s clear that the car has covered 34,500 miles in total.

Indeed, the current odometer shows 9,500 miles since it was fitted in 1991, some 26 years ago.

Our vendor has recently spent around £15k at Ferrari specialist, Paul Hargreaves, for a major service in September 2016 in order to get the car completely up to scratch prior to our sale. There are invoices in the history file detailing the work and this service included the important cam belt change. Finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa with a Tan interior this is a truly fine and rare Ferrari with years of spirited motoring still ahead.

Mercedes-Benz debuted four new models at the Frankfurt Show in 1959, the 220SE among them, and all of them shared the same basic unitary construction bodyshell and all-round independent suspension. Longer than their predecessors, the newcomers featured a wider radiator shell, wrap-around windscreen, wider rear window and vertically-positioned twin headlamps. Aimed squarely at those discerning customers who enjoyed the occasional wind-in-thehair driving experience, but needed four seats and a little luxury, the stylish 220SE Cabriolet was the car of choice.

This, 220SE Cabriolet is a right-hand drive example and was ordered originally in Green (code DB268) with Beige hide (code 1062). Taylor and Crawley in Mayfair were the supplying dealers and they sold the car in London on the 14th June 1963 for the sum of £4,097. From that date onwards the car resided in the South of England, in single family-ownership, until October 2014. We’re informed ‘19 DLC’ was mainly used for extended continental trips during this period, and when not basking under the warm Mediterranean sun, was garaged and well looked after over the winter months during its 51 years with the family. The odometer now shows just over 77,000 miles and this elegant ‘boulevardier’ has been dry-stored in a significant private collection since 2015. Accompanying the car are a host of bills and

receipts, including the Bill of Sale from 1963, along with its original service records and owner’s manuals.

These, mid-sixties cabriolets are smooth, stylish, and absolutely timeless and are sure to steal the show wherever you go. The sleek, two-door, pillarless body style, incorporating a fully convertible hood configuration, offers the rare attribute of being able to seat five in comfort, setting it apart from other contemporary offerings. Now that fully restored 280SE Cabriolets are reaching £250,000 plus values, it may be time to consider this rare model before it stretches its legs further in the classic car market.

The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina as its choice of styling house, and it was sold as a mid-sized Coupé and, eventually, a Cabriolet. Conceived as a ‘more usable’ model, offering the practicality of four seats with the performance of a mid-range Ferrari, it attracted a slightly wider audience than their traditionally more focused two-seaters. The car’s body was not built as a monocoque in the same way as a conventional car but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena and clothed a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it had been on earlier models.

which details a cam belt service at 48,600 miles, and more recently four new tyres. Present also is the original Ferrari handbook and literature in its original case. Previously the car was showing a condition alert on the HPI system, however, the car was inspected in 1994 by a VOSA Authorised Inspector and this alert has since been removed.

The Ferrari Mondial is not only one of the most useable Ferraris available but surely the most affordable Ferrari money can buy with equally affordable maintenance costs. This well-presented example allows you to purchase a Ferrari model that is genuinely rarer than the fabled 250 GTO at less than 1% of the price!

This 1984 3-litre Mondial Quattrovalvole Cabriolet is one of just 629 produced and one of a mere 27 right-hand drive examples produced by the factory. Showing just 52,400 miles at the time of cataloguing, the car has obviously benefited from a lot of care and expense in its lifetime. Previously finished in Blue, the car has at some stage in its life been repainted in Rosso Corsa and presents superbly today.

It’s accompanied by a good history file with many older MOT certificates, receipts, and the service history back to the 1990s,

Aston Martin introduced the long-awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7 in 1999. Sporting a Cosworth-designed, 5.9-litre V12 producing a creamy 420bhp, the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its 6-cylinder predecessor, demanding a larger intake and other modifications to the frontal airflow to aid cooling.

Other changes included chassis and braking upgrades to cope with the increased performance, and Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps, and restyled the valances to give the car a more purposeful look. The Vantage interior leather trim was cut and sewn at a special trim shop at Newport Pagnell, where the carpet and wood veneers were also prepared. The 5.9-litre V12 Vantage Volante, costing over £100,000 at its launch, remained in production until 2004.

Presented to auction in one of the most attractive colour combinations of Antrim Blue with Parchment hide, this superb DB7 Vantage Volante car was first registered on the 16th December 1999. Purchased by our vendor in April 2015, the car sat alongside the family’s Jaguar XJ220 and early E-Type. Heavily involved in his thriving motorsport business, our vendor has enjoyed the car sparingly, only covering some 3,000 miles in two years, and the current odometer reading of a shade under 32,000 miles is corroborated by the following service records:

Names such as Wood and Pickett, and Monteverdi became synonymous with Range Rover luxury upgrades, all sold with Rover’s approval, and indeed in some cases used as future templates for Rover’s own designs. Land Rover had been unable to capitalise on this phenomenon due to budgetary constraints, and could only watch helplessly as aftermarket upgrades offered by boutique specialists cornered the market.

The first faltering steps towards the luxury Range Rovers we recognise today came at the end of 1980. Land Rover collaborated with Wood & Pickett to design a specially-equipped luxury two-door model - a toe-in-the-water exercise to gauge demand for an upward expansion of the range. The prototype was rapidly completed and was lent to Vogue magazine, who took it to Biarritz in 1981 and

In many people’s eyes, Charles Spencer King’s design of the iconic Range Rover could not be bettered, indeed the Louvre in Paris exhibited the Range Rover in the early 1970s, hailing it as an ‘Exemplary work of industrial design’. To others, however, the twodoor Range Rover had a number of limitations, and although the company were well aware of this, their financial woes contributed to a delay of ten years in producing a four-door version so, inevitably, a number of established British and European coachbuilders were happy to oblige and fill the gap

used it as a backdrop during their photo shoots for that season’s Lancôme and Jaeger fashion collections.

The model was such a success that the 1981 run of 1,000 ‘In Vogue’ three-door examples was followed up in 1983 by 325 fourdoor ‘In Vogue’ models finished in Derwent Blue, and was promoted in conjunction with the Daks autumn fashion collection at Simpsons of Piccadilly. The more practical, V8-powered, four-door Range Rover proved a hit with its manual five-speed gearbox and British Leyland, in their wisdom, scaled back the three-door model for overseas and police issue with the four-door Vogue model becoming the benchmark Range Rover model, until the introduction of the Autobiography ‘personalisation’ range in 1993.

This restored 1983 ‘In Vogue’ presents superbly in its factorycorrect Derwent Blue with a Tan interior, and its bespoke wooden door cappings look in great order. Any ‘classic’ Range Rover owner of the period or indeed today will agree that the rear dual tailgate’s rust issues would always let the side down, but it can be seen that this car has had this concern addressed. Presented to auction with the rare inclusion of a factory-issued picnic hamper, and an MOT certificate valid until October 2017, this historically important car offers a good ‘driver’s’ mileage of some 83,000 miles and would fit perfectly in any serious collection for regular use.

Saab launched the 96 model using their own rally proven two-stroke engine before entering into an agreement to buy Ford’s compact V4 engine and introducing their first four-stroke car, the 96 V4, in late 1966. It continued in production in that form until, remarkably, February 1980.

also completely rebuilt with new components throughout and fitted with poly bushes. The interior was partially trimmed in a high-quality tartan material, as a poignant gesture to the Scottish heritage of its previous owner, Chris, who sadly died of cancer before completing the restoration.

Probably the most famous Saab 96 in the world, HDF 918L was partially dismantled some years ago in preparation for a restoration that was never completed due to the owner’s illness. It was rescued by restorer and broadcaster Ant Anstead for Series 2 of Channel 4’s ‘For the Love of Cars’ in 2015. The work was undertaken by Ant and the team at restoration specialists MRH in Hertford. Firstly, the shell was fully stripped and assessed, then all welding repairs were completed before it could be painted in the original Saab Ambragelb Y8B, a very period yellow-gold. The original engine, gearbox and ancillaries were then rebuilt with new or reconditioned components and a modern electronic ignition was fitted to improve cold starting and reliability.

As can be seen in the programme, our vendor Asif Ansari, paid a world record price for the model and made an emotional promise to Chris’ family to auction the car for a cancer charity. Asif donated the car to benefit the Brain Tumour Research Trust and immediately bought it back for £15,000, an incredible gesture.

The wiring and electrical systems were either renewed or restored and the fuel system was also completely rebuilt with modern materials. A single choke Weber carburettor was fitted in order to utilise its manual choke. The brakes, steering and suspension were

The 968 was well-regarded and received excellent reviews, even if the UK market had to wait almost a year from launch to get it. It was powered by the 944 S2’s 3.0-litre 4-cylinder engine producing 225lb-ft of torque and 240bhp, but with variable valve timing to improve power, torque, fuel economy, and most importantly, driveability. Visually, it was the biggest step forward since the launch of the original 944 in 1981, with only the doors, roof and tailgate being carried over from the 944. The new front-end with 928-style pop-up headlamps did bring a touch of modernity.

The interior trim was very similar to the 911 and 928, helping to justify the inflated list price, but not quite enough as sales were initially rather slow. However, all that changed in 1993 when the stripped-out, back-to-basics ‘Clubsport’ (Vereinsport) was launched.

Porsche had set their sights on creating a car tailored for the driving enthusiast and, in particular, one with competition potential, and this they certainly did.

The Porsche (project no.) 968 made its debut in 1991 and was effectively, the last gasp for the long-lived 924 line. Originally mooted as the 944S3, the new number was probably more a result of pressure from the marketing department, but it was right for recessionary Porsche wrestling with struggling sales.

1994 Porsche 968 Clubsport

car was regularly driven in the first year of our vendor’s ownership, however 2011, the car became laid up in his small collection.

Having recently emerged from its slumber the car has been subject to extensive refurbishment work. The body was restored including new front wings, new inner and outer sills and a complete glass out respray and, at the same time, all the mechanicals were gone through and returned to health. According to our vendor he found no evidence of extensive track work like so many other Clubsports. The brakes remain standard, no suspension strengthening struts, no roll cage mounting tell tales, standard springs and shocks also remain fitted. Unlike many comparable examples this car is presented with an excellent history file and extensive service history with almost all the regular services supported by invoices and a vast number of older MOT test certificates.

The 968 Clubsport was, and still is, one of the best handling cars of modern times and with rarity is now increasing in value. Having enjoyed one of these cars on winding country roads, this consigner can confirm that the 968 Clubsport is one of the most wellbalanced, and rewarding driving experiences money can buy.

This was achieved by removing all luxury-orientated equipment from the basic build specification. With the no-frills approach, less weight, and clever suspension, Porsche could now focus media attention on the Clubsport’s fast road and track abilities, and the Clubsport achieved a ‘Performance Car Of The Year’ award in 1993 from Performance Car magazine in the UK. In total, just 1,923 units were produced, of which only 179 were right-hand drive, making the Clubsport a very rare Porsche indeed.

This 1994, 968 Clubsport is an original UK-supplied car finished in Speed Yellow and was initially ordered with ‘Comfort Seats’ but these have been replaced with the correct matching yellow-shelled bucket seats. Currently showing 102,000 miles, at the time of cataloguing, the car was purchased by our vendor in 2009. Prior to his ownership, at circa 90,000 miles, the car had benefited from a top end engine rebuild as a result of a snapped timing belt. The

This lovely MkII Jaguar left Browns Lane in November 1962 in right-hand drive form and was shipped to Africa where it was sold new to Scotford Mills Ltd. in early 1963 by the Southern Rhodesian distributor, Sagers. It was originally finished in Opalescent Gunmetal but now wears a handsome coat of Mason’s Black paint no doubt applied when the Coombs style upgrades were added to the car in the period from 2012-2014.

Discovered in 2015 by our vendor, who lives six months of each year in South Africa, in the Gauteng Province (sufficiently inland to be certain of a significantly dry car) this MkII had already been modified and personalised to enhance its drivability and exclusivity.

These modifications include Jaguar 420 power steering, electric windows, electric mirrors, new leather upholstered electric touring seats, a modern Kenwood radio and speakers in bespoke door cards, Garmin sat-nav built-in to the dashboard, an uprated cabin cooling system but, of course, retains the original manual gearbox with overdrive.

Gloss Black really suits this car and is complemented by the Cream leather seats, black carpets edged in cream, the excellent veneers, and the E-Type wood rim steering wheel.

Ours is a matching numbers chassis and engine car, which in itself is unusual, and further benefits from having been thoroughly examined and serviced in 2015 by respected engineers, R&D Automotive of Eccles in exchange for £2,750. They carefully went through the car dealing with any minor issues, the hubs were replaced, the rear brake cylinders were replaced, a new battery was fitted, the car was comprehensively serviced, and put through an MOT test. To further enhance this striking Jaguar, it now sits on a gleaming new set of MWS chrome wire wheels.

The car has been little used since, but prior to the sale it has had the carburettors balanced and tuned and a fresh MOT test has just been granted. In addition to the MOT Certificate, it’s accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, the aforementioned Garmin sat-nav, invoices to support the recent tuning and R&D servicing, and the original steel wheels.

MkII Jaguars really are very competent sporting saloons with timeless looks, and being an original, right-hand drive 3.8 we anticipate this car will be the recipient of some well-deserved attention at the sale.

The 205 1.6 GTI arrived in April 1984, singled out for its sublime handling and revvy 105bhp engine. The 1.9 GTI that followed in December 1986 was more of the same but with 128bhp and a bit more torque. This was all amidst the 205 T16 winning the World Rally Championship in 1985, helping to promote the road-going 205’s inherent abilities and ultimate potential. The GTI model was produced until 1994, firmly establishing itself as a must-have future classic and today, low-mileage, genuine examples are very rare, extremely hard to unearth and much sought-after.

The car presented here is something very special indeed. This 1988, 205 GTI 1.9 has covered a quite exceptional and wholly verifiable mileage of just 5,726 miles from new. Silverstone Auctions have only ever known of another 205 GTI with such mileage, an example we sold in 2016 with 7,986 miles – this being the current world record price achieved at auction for such a model, standing at £31,625.

Renowned website 205gti.info confirms the car presented here as being a Phase 1.5 UK model (being model year 1989 but with an assembly entry date at the Mulhouse factory of 20.09.88), having the XU9JA (non-cat) 128bhp engine and supplied in Alpine White paintwork with Red ‘Quattro’ velour and Grey Leather seating. The car displays all the features that make it wholly consistent with its type and phase, plus it has lightweight Speedline alloy wheels and no sunroof.

The car was first registered on the 24th November 1988 to the Peugeot Talbot Motor Company Ltd. and stills wears the evocative registration number ending in ‘OKV’, which is famous for having been used on other Peugeot-owned press or ‘poster’ cars over the years.

The King of the hot hatches? Volkswagen may have started the GTI craze in 1976, but many still consider the Peugeot 205 GTI as the greatest of them all. The 205 was launched in 1983, a brilliant rival to its contemporaries with its ‘wheel at each corner’ design and flyweight mass. No wonder it won the What Car? ‘Car of the Year’ award in 1984 and was declared ‘Car of the Decade’ by CAR Magazine in 1990.

1988 Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 - 5,726 miles

The car was subsequently offered by Peugeot as a prize in association with ‘Grattan’, the catalogue clothing retailer, which was open to all their agents throughout the country. The car was won by a lady from Ipswich, but she was unable to drive. The local newspaper at the time ran the headline ‘Winner of £10,000 car cannot drive’. The woman’s husband collected the car on her behalf from the local Peugeot dealership ‘Anglia Garage’, and it was registered to him on the 22nd December 1988. The couple actually preferred to use their existing larger car, so drove the 205 GTI very infrequently, keeping it garaged and maintained. They kept it for the sake of posterity before selling it to our Peugeot-enthusiast vendor in December 2012, with the mileage then being 5,329.

He is a true marque expert, having a small collection of prizewinning 205 GTI models, and is truly exacting when it comes to detail on these cars. During his ownership the car has been stored methodically, has never seen the rain and has been maintained regardless of cost, time or the mileage covered. The car is not portrayed as being in ‘Concours condition’ - these examples are often extensively restored - and certainly, it could be with just the minimum of work, but is authentic and unfettered, even down to its original factory-fitted distributor bag still being in place!

The car is accompanied by its history file containing a complete and original Peugeot book pack containing the original stampedup service schedule, instructions manuals etc., all previous MOT certificates (minus just one in recent years), numerous invoices for servicing and maintenance – many of which are from Peugeot Talbot performance specialists ‘Skip Brown Cars’ of Cheshire, two keys (with an ‘Anglia Garage’ keyring), a newspaper clipping documenting the handover to the prizewinner’s husband and two old style V5 documents showing Peugeot and one other as the only previous keepers. There is even a set of extremely rare Michelin MXV-P period tyres, which were an original fitting on these cars.

1972 Jaguar E-Type Roadster V12 Series III

A decade after the Jaguar E-Type arrived, the design progressively matured through various developments until 1971 when the Series III was introduced. Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series III cars were available as a ‘Roadster’ (convertible) or a ‘2+2’ Coupé.

These later cars are easily distinguished from their six-cylinder predecessors by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a pronounced bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling.

The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller, dished and leatherrimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-Type in Series III form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited. Approximately 7,990 Series lll Roadsters were sold worldwide before production ceased in 1975.

We are pleased to offer this original right-hand drive, UK-supplied 1972 E-Type Series III roadster. According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, it was built on the 5th. May 1972, finished in Signal Red with a Black interior and was fitted with a manual gearbox. It was dispatched from Jaguar on the 26th May and sent to Fletchers of Swansea and subsequently first registered on the 1st of June. 1972.

Bearing the Swansea registration EWN 393K, this shiny new E-Type was collected by its delighted first owner, one W K Eynon, later that month.

Presumably equally delighted, our vendor’s father, Anthony Michael O’Connor, acquired the car (now registered OUH 479M) on 28/06/1991 and enjoyed the late summer with the top down before presenting it for an MOT on 13/09/91 with the mileage recorded at 14,057. The car was used lightly over the next few years and, on 1/05/1999 its care was entrusted to his son, Mr M G O’Connor, and the car was duly registered in his name. Again the Jaguar was obviously used infrequently as the mileometer was only indicating 16,310 when it was subject to an MOT test on 29/04/2000.

The Silverstone Classic Sale 2017

This has been the pattern since, as is apparent from the car’s MOT history showing increments, in many cases, of less than 100 miles a year. The most recent MOT test on 12/04/2017 shows a figure of 17,428 which has changed very little since.

This lack of use, however, does not mean the E-Type was poorly maintained and there are invoices within the file from local Jaguar specialists, Newlands Motors of Forest Row, Sussex detailing servicing and routine maintenance in addition to dealing with any other issues that arose. There is one dated 31/7/13 (£2,420) for a routine service and at this point, a new ‘Fantail Exhaust’ was fitted, front swivel gaitors and clutch slave cylinder were replaced, and the car was valeted and machine polished. A similar one on 21/08/14 (£2,055) lists a new alternator, voltage regulator, steering rack and swivel gaitor replacement, and in addition, a steering lock was fitted and wired in. The most recent invoice on 7/10/16 (£1,440) refers to work on the brakes, indicators and ignition amplifier.

Although well-maintained and gently used, this lovely Series III would benefit from some recommissioning and light detailing. Cars of this nature are happiest when they are used and extended, and we envy the new owner of this lovely E-Type the opportunity of doing so.

After World War II, the company began building its own brand of sports cars, which continued until the mid-1970s starting with the first wholly original design of the ‘Siata Amica’ (1948 to 1952), which was then followed by the 300BC Barchetta Sport Spider in 1951. Designed by Mario Revelli de Beaumont and built by Nuccio Bertone and Rocco Motto, around 50 production models were created and were mainly powered by either a 750cc Crosley or 1100cc Fiat engine.

The Siata 208S, introduced in 1953, featured Fiat’s 2.0-litre 8V engine and 35 cars were produced between 1953 and 1955 priced at $5,300. They were available as a convertible (Spider) or a coupé.

The 208 Spider was an incredibly beautiful machine, typical of Italian ‘Barchettas’ of the period, a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by legendary actor Steve McQueen who purchased model BS523 from Los Angeles-based Siata importer Ernie McCaffe in the mid-1950s.

According to Bruce Sand, who subsequently bought the Siata, McQueen had replaced the front Siata badge with a Ferrari shield and dubbed the car his ‘Little Ferrari’.

1950 Fiat-based Siata Roadster ‘Appreciation’

This Siata ‘Homage’ is a superbly built, fully aluminium-bodied roadster and bears a visual similarity to Siata roadsters from the early fifties. The front has obviously been influenced by the 208 CS Bertone Spider Corsa from 1953 and the rear is reminiscent of the ‘52 300BC Sport Spider. The net result is a striking motor car that is pure 50s Italian.

The chassis is from a 1950 Fiat together with the suspension, steering, and brakes. The engine is a tuned 1100cc with a performance manifold, twin-choke Weber carburettor, and fourspeed manual transmission. Formerly part of a deceased estate, documentation includes copies of the former Italian Libretto and a current UK V5C. This, lovingly crafted, charming little Italian sports car sits on Borrani-style, knock-off wire wheels and is finished in Metallic Royal Blue with twin black upholstered race seats. There is enough room for a passenger and a small boot area for luggage when on a tour or a rally.

In 1986, Porsche launched the new 944 Turbo featuring a 220bhp, 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, which was essentially a turbocharged standard unit but with strengthened internals to cope with the increase in power. The 944 Turbo was well-received and sold well, prompting Porsche to revamp the model in early 1988. The ‘Turbo’ had been the basis of the highly successful and entertaining F1supporting ‘Turbo Cup’, similar to today’s ‘GT3 Super Cup’. A decision was made to uprate the power of the full-race cars, and it was decided that the power upgrade should be passed on to the road cars culminating in the launch of the Porsche 944 Turbo ‘S’ with 250bhp.

owners. Included with the car are the original driver’s manual and maintenance booklet, which contains stamps from various Porsche specialists throughout its life. Our vendor has owned the car since 2005 and has entrusted the car to CMS Porsche during this period and they have stamped the booklet between 2006 and 2008, and more recently in 2016 for a recommission service, as the car had remained in storage, on SORN, in his collection for nearly 10 years. There is also an invoice from CMS Porsche in the history file detailing the work involved in the recent recommission to prepare this cherished Porsche for its new owner. The MOT Certificate is valid until October this year.

The Turbo S was undoubtedly the fastest 944 and was introduced in 1988 as a limited production run, with a specification the emulated the ‘Turbo Cup’ race cars. Improvements included the M44/52 engine (with a new turbocharger, modified turbine vanes and enhanced DME mapping), a stronger clutch, transmission and limited slip differential, plus larger 12-inch front disc brakes (similar to the 928 S4), adjustable Koni suspension (via the M030 option package) and special ‘Clubsport’ alloy wheels.

Presenting superbly, this is a lovely example of this rare 1980s classic Porsche and these limited edition models are much soughtafter by marque enthusiasts for good reason, so don’t miss out!

Initially, there were 1,000 Turbo S cars built, of which 77 were sold in the UK. All of these cars had the same Silver with a hint of Pink paintwork (affectionately called ‘Silberrosa’ or Silver Rose) and the Burgundy Studio Check cloth interior and all were equipped to Option Code M758. Following the initial run of Silver Rose cars and in response to customer demand, midway through 1988 any colour from the Porsche catalogue, along with any interior option, could be specified instead of the ‘Silver Rose’ scheme. All the cars featured a stylised ‘Turbo’ script on the wing as a gesture to earlier highperformance Porsches, and cost a huge 10% more than a standard Turbo.

The car presented here is very special indeed and is a genuine, UK-supplied, 1988 944 Turbo ‘S’, having been first registered on the 1st August of that year. The chassis and engine numbers conform to the specific ranges for these limited-run cars. It’s also one of only a handful produced in Guards Red and has covered just over 86,000 miles since 1988, in the hands of its three fastidious

Fiat Abarths were built in Italy by Abarth S.P.A. from 1949 onwards.

They specialised in modifying various cars, more latterly Fiats, for high-performance road driving and racing. One of the models that they converted in the 1960s was the Fiat 600D, which was highly modified, lightened and given bigger wheels and tyres, a close ratio gearbox, racing seats and harnesses and an Abarth spec 1000cc engine.

This particular little yellow Abarth 1000 was acquired by rock legend Jay Kay of Jamiroquai in December 2003 and has remained in his significant and varied collection until today. Supplied by noted Abarth specialists - Middle Barton Garage - the car was then registered AMC 806H. Unfortunately, the log book for the car was lost and never found, which necessitated the car having to be reregistered as ABW 194E for use on the road, the original registration number having been reallocated by the DVLA to another car.

Maintained and looked after as part of Jay’s extensive collection, the car has covered very few miles during his ownership and offers an interesting part of Fiat history for a relatively modest outlay. Still great fun to drive, but now in need of a bit of TLC - it’s an ideal and rare car to use, enjoy and perhaps restore to its former glory.

‘The world’s fastest four-door saloon’ was the tag given to the BMW M5 when introduced in February 1984 at the Amsterdam Motor Show. The E28 was a fantastic base chassis which BMW’s ‘M Division’ then modified by hand to create the original M5. They changed the engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes, seating, dash, steering wheel, wheels and tyres, and finally the spoiler and body kit. It was an epic performance car and just 129 right-hand drive cars were ever produced, with this particular car being the UK press car.

Launched at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2002 Turbo was BMW’s first turbocharged production car and also one of the first turbocharged production cars in the world. Giving 170bhp and 240 Nm of torque, courtesy of slide throttle bodies, it was a seriously quick car at the time. This particular car was one of the very first classic cars that rock legend and leader of Jamiroquai, Jay Kay, ever purchased back in 1995. He was to become a serious collector, and this very car is an early milestone in that special collection and has been enjoyed by him for over 22 years.

Introduced to an astonished public in 1993, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin’s first six-cylinder model since production of the DBS had finished in 1971. Styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen if you looked carefully. Arguably, one of the most attractive looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the ‘7’ was more approachable than the leviathans that had immediately preceded it. Well received, it attracted new customers worldwide, with the traditional layout of the curvaceous two door coupé body, robust six-cylinder engine and a ‘proper’ interior. Power was supplied by an all-alloy, double overhead camshaft, supercharged, 24-valve, in-line six-cylinder engine that produced 335bhp at 5750rpm. In the same way that the beautiful little ‘60s Lotus Elan morphed, over the years, into the be-winged Esprit Turbo, the DB7 was the first in the line of modern Astons that have become more dramatic with each new model, however, we feel that the simple purity of line of the DB7, will ultimately define the breed.

The Ford Focus RS500 made its global debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on April 9th, 2010 and marked the final swansong for production of the remarkable, second-generation Focus RS. The last vehicles left Ford’s Assembly Plant in Germany during September 2010. The new and more powerful, limited edition Focus RS500 model was launched as the ultimate performance Ford to provide the definitive driving experience for serious performance car enthusiasts. The new model was given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly limited production run of 500 individuallynumbered vehicles. The 500 features a muscular 345bhp, 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder engine, which generates 15% more power than the standard Focus RS and delivers truly exhilarating performance.

complete 10,000km of non-stop driving, equivalent to competing in 10 consecutive Nürburgring 24-hour races without a break. This genuine Focus RS500 is number 70/500. The car was built in lefthand drive and was delivered new to Switzerland where it has spent its entire life stored in a dealership as a display item with only minimal use as a demonstrator in the early days. As a result, the car has covered the incredibly low mileage of just 206kms (128mls) and, as you would expect, is presented in exceptional condition.

In the raw, the RS looked a bit of a ‘beastie’. With its gaping grille, 19-inch wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo, it left you in no doubt about its intentions. However, the RS500 is even more dramatic. The limited edition model sports a unique matt black ‘foil’ paint finish with matching alloy wheels and delivers a powerful visual impact unmatched by any other production Ford.

Recently the car has been serviced with a precautionary brake fluid change and new battery. The car comes with its original unused Service Book, all the keys and the alloy wheel lock still in its sealed bag. This example is a true collector’s item and offers a potentially unrepeatable opportunity to own a delivery-mileage Focus RS500.

The car joins a long line of iconic RS Fords and is a worthy recipient of the RS500 badge that became synonymous with success when the legendary Sierra RS500 Cosworth dominated saloon car racing during the late 1980s.

As a mark of respect for their decades-long working relationship, Ferrari named the 612 after the legendary Sergio Scaglietti, whose famous design house ‘Carrozzeria Scaglietti’ was responsible for the look of some of the most stunning coachbuilt Ferraris in the ‘50s and ‘60s. The design of the 612 is said to have been inspired by the 1954 Rossellini-Bergman custom 375 MM, which was commissioned by film director Roberto Rossellini for his lovely wife, the actress Ingrid Bergman. The model features deep side scallops and large headlights together with a long, sleek silhouette and the result is an imposing, unusual looking car, projecting dynamism and power. This sporty front-engined rear-wheel drive Berlinetta is a paradox Ferrari, being an energetic car to drive, yet also having four full seats for passengers, making it suitable for longer journeys and city use too.

A genuine departure from previous GT models, the 612 Scaglietti’s transaxle transmission sees the rear-mounted, 6 speed, F1 gearbox working with the limited-slip differential in a shared function and this, combined with the first ever all-aluminium body in a 12-cylinder Ferrari, makes for fantastic dynamics as well as improved comfort and safety.

2004 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

This right-hand drive 612 Scaglietti was supplied new to Singapore on 26th October 2004 in the superb colour combination of Rubino Metallizzato with Crema/Tan interior. In June 2015 it was sold by its first Singaporean owner and subsequently imported to the UK. It was registered soon after and serviced by Dick Lovett in 2015. This included four new tyres, ball joints and new rear discs and pads. It was serviced again in 2016 by DK Engineering where the ball joints were replaced, geometry set up and sender unit replaced.

Having now covered a total of 36,200 miles, this example is presented in lovely condition. The paintwork retains a good shine and the panel gaps are straight and true. The full specification includes Full Leather Extended Leather Package with Embossed Cavallino on each headrest, Tan Carpets, Nero Brake Calipers, Scuderia Wing Shields, an F1 Gearbox and staggered 18/19-inch 5-spoke design alloy wheels.

Four seat Ferraris have traditionally been somewhat overlooked as collector’s cars. However, this 612 Scaglietti has all the makings of a future classic, an eclectic and historically influenced design, paired with innovative technology and modern elements. The 612 moves forward whilst staying faithful to its past, and with right-hand drive examples built in relatively low numbers, this is a collector’s car with real appreciation potential.

In early 1940, the United States Department of War had determined it needed a light, cross-country, four-wheel drive, reconnaissance vehicle and was anxious to have one in time for, what may possibly turn out to be, America’s entry into World War II in Europe. The U.S. Army solicited proposals from domestic car manufacturers for a replacement for its existing, ageing, light motor vehicles, mainly motorcycles and sidecars, and some Ford Model Ts. Recognising the need to create standard specifications, the Army formalised its requirements on 11 July 1940, and submitted them to 135 U.S. automotive manufacturers.

It’s a matter of history that ultimately two manufacturers were successful, Willys with their MB (US quarter-ton Army truck) and later, Ford with their GPW (in production designated GP).

Impressively, the time taken from conception and tenders being sent out to the production lines starting to roll was less than two hundred days, amazing for a vehicle that has stood the test of time and become an unlikely motoring icon.

A USB drive, included with the car’s history file, documents the restoration. Every nut and bolt received attention and the detail is fantastic, even down to the period tools and heavy-duty tow rope attached to the vehicle.

‘Wendy’, as she is affectionately known, was purchased by our vendor through Silverstone Auctions about a year ago, but a change in circumstances mean he is now reducing his collection. He described the car as being “In brilliant condition then” and the only improvements he could make were to balance the propshaft, fit a new fuel gauge, and replace one damper. He also fitted a dashboardmounted rifle holder and a realistic replica rifle.

Every rural car show in the country now has a section for Military Vehicles, and with WW2 re-enactments and the prestigious classic car meetings all clamouring for 1940s Jeeps, this stunningly wellrestored example could keep you busy for the rest of the summer.

This ability to get things done quickly and well was the deciding factor in America being asked to produce military hardware in vast numbers and build hundreds of ships, arguably influencing the outcome of the Second World War. As the war progressed, Willys-Overland produced over 300,000 Jeeps and the Ford Motor Co. was drafted in to help boost production and contributed over 250,000 units. Ford-assembled Jeeps were recognisable by their pressed steel grilles as opposed to the Willys’ slat style grille.

Considering the manner in which the Jeep was conceived and its role in warfare, it’s remarkable that most of the finest classic car collections will include a Willys or Ford WWII Jeep, making the restored example offered here a candidate for serious consideration should one of these yardstick cars have, so far, eluded you.

This excellent and rare, Ford-built, GPW Jeep was imported into the UK in 2012 having been fastidiously restored by the President of the Ford GPW Owners’ Club in the USA and is a consummate piece of military history.

Arriving in June 1993, a further development of the HF Integrale naturally became known as the Evo II and featured an updated version of the 2-litre 16-valve turbo engine producing a little more power (215bhp) and incorporated a three-way catalyst and a Lambda probe, with everything being run by a new Marelli integrated engine control system.

In addition to the mechanical changes, the Evo II received a cosmetic and functional facelift that included, new 16-inch light alloy rims with 205/45 ZR 16 tyres, a body colour roof moulding to underline the connection between the roof and the Solar control windows, an aluminium fuel cap and air-intake grilles on the front mudguards, a red-painted cylinder head, a new leather-covered three-spoke MOMO steering wheel, and Recaro seats upholstered in beige Alcantara with diagonal stitching.

First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979, the Lancia Delta Integrale is best known for its domination of the World Rally Championship in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Constantly being developed, the first ‘Evoluzione’ cars were built at the end of 1991 and carried on through 1992 and these ‘Evo’ models were to be the final homologation cars built for the Lancia Rally Team competing under the Martini Racing banner.

1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II

This Evo II is finished in yellow paintwork with a very rare dark grey Alcantara with yellow stitching interior. Showing an unwarranted 74,647 kilometres or 46,383 miles, the bodywork all presents very well and the paintwork retains a good shine, but has been painted at some point in its life. The door shuts and panel gaps look even and the whole car retains a sense of originality. The interior is especially impressive and is very original with minimal wear to the Alcantara seats.

On the road, this Evo II feels tight and pulled hard through all gears.

The car has just been serviced by marque specialists Zagato Lancia Performance at a cost of £9,000. A full bill of works completed is available to prospective bidders in the ownership file.

Having been imported from Japan there is a limited history file but this Evo II does have a current MOT certificate and is fully UK registered with no taxes to pay. Ready to be driven and enjoyed, this Integrale is set off with OZ Racing rims, which give the car a wonderfully menacing street presence. We welcome pre-sale inspections and the car will be driven to the auction.

Porsche’s long-running and much-loved 911 sports car first appeared at the 1963 Frankfurt Show as the ‘901’, but shortly after production proper commenced in 1964 had become the ‘911’ following Peugeot’s complaints about the use of ‘0’ model numbers.

The preceding Type 356’s rear-engined layout was retained, but the 911 switched to unitary construction for the bodyshell and dropped the 356’s VW-based suspension in favour of a more modern McPherson strut and trailing arm arrangement.

In its first incarnation, Porsche’s single-overhead-camshaft, aircooled flat six engine displaced 1,991cc. The first of countless upgrades to the perennial 911 came in 1966, two years after production had commenced, with the introduction of the 911S and in 1967 the 911T (Touring) was introduced as a new 2.0-litre model.

Further revisions were made in 1969 when the 911’s wheelbase had been extended by 57mm, which transformed the handling of the car and paved the way for the 911 to become one of the greatest driving experiences available.

This, very early, left-hand drive, 1969 911 ‘T’ was initially delivered to California finished in its original colour combination of Sand Beige with a Black interior. Looking for a good basis for an early 911 project, our vendor sourced, purchased and imported the car into the UK in 2015.

The car was then subject to a sympathetic restoration in 2016 with bills on file exceeding £20,000. This work included an engine rebuild including new oil pump, big ends/main and intermediate bearings, new con-rods, valves/guides, head studs, clutch assembly, brake lines and hoses etc. The body was also subject to considerable work including some light repairs to the floor and sills and a complete repaint back to Sand Beige with new interior trim and lights fitted at the same time.

Inside, a new headlining, carpets and seats were also fitted and again finished as per original specification and a period Blaupunkt ‘Blue Spot’ remains.The Fuchs five-blade alloys look unmarked and set the car off perfectly.

It’s accompanied by a good history file containing many invoices documenting the restoration and expenditure. EU import tax has been paid but the car is currently unregistered and still awaits registration in your country of choice.

This is an absolutely splendid early 911T. The unusual colour really suits the car and viewed in profile, the shape is pure unadorned, unfettered, unmolested 911 and it’s easy to see why these cars really set the benchmark in sports car design.

The Type 2 presented here, is extremely rare and widely considered to be one of only three ‘Double-Door-Walk-Through’ campers still remaining. Its type, configuration and history are supported by both the all-important ‘M-Code’ plate and chassis number plate, which are proudly still in place, denoting it as the ‘holy-grail’ - cargo doors right and left/walk-through.

Built in Germany on the 26th August 1964, this Type 2 was exported new to San Francisco whereupon renowned camper company ‘EZ Campers’ of Little Rock, California set about installing one of their bespoke interiors with accessories, before it was sold through the main Volkswagen Dealership. This camper still retains its exceptionally rare and highly desirable EZ front steps. The slogan at the time proudly declared “EZ Camper will convert your VW 211 Van into a wonderful weekend cabin on wheels!” This particular Type 2, with its double doors on both sides, lends itself to this mantra perfectly, with the potential for a tent awning on either flank.

It is known to have spent most of its life in the Sacramento area, having been owned by a local airport worker. After a period of inactivity, it was bought at a VW Show in Vallejo by ‘Vintage Warehouse’ who are a globally renowned company specialising in unique and unusual Volkswagens. It was used by the company owner for a number of years, and it was during this period that it was fitted with its ‘pop-top’ and double-roof bunk arrangement. It became something of a star after appearing in a series of ‘Tent Day’ photo-shoots, which are very well known to Volkswagen aficionados.

These images are present in the history file, along with much more.

The Volkswagen ‘Type 2’ was introduced in 1950 as a multi-variant utility vehicle and was designated as a Transporter, Kombi or Microbus depending on body type. It was conceived as a natural partner to the Volkswagen Type 1, better known as the original ‘Beetle’. The first generation of these versatile vehicles carried the works nomenclature T1 and were produced with distinctive splitscreens (subsequently known as ‘Splitties’) from 1950 until 1967, and these have become the most sought-after models.

a no-expense-spared traditional method of restoration done by ‘Volksworld’ show-winners ‘Haywood Classic & Custom’. Its ownership file contains many receipts, totalling approximately £50,000, plus photographic evidence of the step-by-step restoration process. Its condition today is quite exceptional and presents well in the sophisticated colour combination of Agave Green (L240) and Silver White (L820).

Using the original ‘EZ Campers’ template, whilst retaining the original EZ pull-down bed, the whole interior has been significantly upgraded with the use of teak and marine-ply, all professionally installed and French polished. The leather seating was created by the multi-show winning ‘Bernard Newbury Auto Interiors’. It has been completely rewired and fitted with an ‘Eberspacher’ heater, very effective in these vehicles, and great attention has been paid to insulation and sound deadening. With its EZ bed and double-roof bunk beds, it comfortably sleeps four people.

The engine is a genuine ‘new-old-stock’ 1600cc twin-port, single carb and points, VW unit purchased directly from the VW factory in Mexico. This was sourced and installed with all new ancillaries (fuel pump, uprated alternator etc.) in 2008. It has been serviced regularly, performs extremely well, and has covered just 5,000 miles (approximately). The gearbox was overhauled by ‘Bears Motor Sport UK’ in 2016 and the brakes have been upgraded with discs on the front and drums at the rear.

With the restoration completed in 2012, the camper has been used sparingly since and has been cherished by our fastidious, VW enthusiast vendor. This special camper has largely been kept out of the public eye, known only to a select few within the VW community, but on one of the rare occasions it has been ‘out and about’, it won a national show!

Rarely does such a rare and individual Volkswagen come to market and we welcome any inspection.

The prospect of combining the most powerful turbo engine in their range at the time, with a manual gearbox and mounting them in a two-wheel drive, lightweight 911 was the inspiration for the, rather special, Porsche 911 GT2. At the same time, Porsche upgraded and modified the suspension and brakes, and increased the engine output whilst lightening and removing interior components, to create the ultimate driver’s version of the 911 at that time. This recipe has been used with the 993, 996 and 997, and, no doubt, will be used in future versions of their iconic 911.

This car is the GT2 version of the Porsche 911 (997), introduced in 2008 and produced until 2012. The engine uses twin variable geometry water cooled turbochargers producing a serious 523bhp and 500 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a maximum speed in excess of 204mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.7 seconds!

For the first time, it’s loaded with the electronic goodies enjoyed by lesser models, though PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) and PSM, in particular, are tailored to its unique character. As with the 996 GT2, its development has not been shaped by the demands and regulations of a race category and at first glance, it looks quite tame, just another iteration of the highperformance 911 with its gaping-mouthed, more ground-hugging nose, and different biplane rear spoiler. However, the longer you look and the more you contemplate the numbers, the more menacing the new GT2 seems. Initially, you don’t notice the slightly nosedown rake or the fact that the wide, Turbo rear arches are brimful of rubber. Step closer, and you can see that those rear tyres are 325/30 ZR19s – for reference, a Lamborghini Murciélago wears 335s – and then that they’re lightly-treaded Michelin Pilot Sport Cups.

aluminium rear suspension subframe and, of course, the weight penalty of four-wheel drive no longer applies.

This left-hand drive, 997 911 GT2 was purchased new by a collector in Dubai on 8th October 2009. It remained there with one owner until 2015, when it was imported into the UK. All duties and taxes have been paid, the UK registration process was completed by the current owner in October 2015, and it now forms part of his significant private collection.

Finished in sparkling Carrera White with a Black Alcantara and Leather interior, this desirable 997 GT2 has covered over 29,000 miles from new and the bodywork still presents superbly. It is fitted with a ‘factory’ interior carbon pack, rare carbon backed bucket seats, and the rear cage is designed to be easily removable. The black leather interior is consistent with the indicated mileage and the car is supplied with all its original books and manuals. Our vendor has entrusted the car to marque specialists JZM and Charles Ivey Ltd. in recent years and there are also invoices in the history file with Porsche Centre Swindon, from 2015, when they also carried out the ‘Porsche 111 Point Check’, and the report is available for inspection.

997 GT2 models have traditionally held their value exceptionally well and are regarded as seriously collectable amongst Porsche fans worldwide. Given the results we’ve achieved for similar cars in our recent auctions, this GT2 looks a very attractive proposition.

That new rear spoiler is a bit special, too. Like the 993 GT2’s, it’s hollow and the intakes that sit in the air flow deliver pressurised air to the engine, contributing to its greater output over the Turbo.

Look closer and you can see visual evidence of the 145kg weight reduction over the Turbo; the standard-fit PCCB brakes, the new tilt-back carbon-shell seats, the lack of rear seats, and a rear silencer and tailpipes made of titanium. Out of sight, there’s a new

Widely acknowledged as Porsche’s first venture into motor manufacturing, the 356 was a lightweight and nimble rear engined, rear-wheel-drive, two-door sporting car available in hardtop coupé and open configurations. Over a 15-year production period, the 356 evolved from a little, aluminium-bodied coupé with an 1,100cc aircooled flat-four engine into a sophisticated sports car with a 2,000cc four-cam Carrera engine producing130 bhp.

In September of 1959 Porsche revealed their fully updated 356, known as the 356B, with a completely revised body that was more suitable for the American market. The ‘B’ used the new T5 body style with a curved front bonnet lid, rounded wings compared to that of the 356A and new front and rear sheet metal. The bumpers were raised nearly four inches, over-riders added, and the headlights were also repositioned higher to comply with US-Federal regulations. The brakes were upgraded, larger door handles fitted, and inside Porsche fitted a new deep dish steering wheel and deeper front seats.

In August of 1961 Porsche revealed the updated T6 body with larger windows for the Coupé and twin engine grills on the rear deck. The T6 had a much revised front bonnet with a different petrol tank that was accessed under a filler cap on the wing instead of the middle of the boot. In 1963, the 356C marked the third and final update to the 356 model.

This left-hand drive, 1962 Porsche 356 Cabriolet is finished in one of the sleekest colour combinations of Metallic Silver with a dark blue leather interior and blue hood. Delivered new to the United States, the car eventually made its way back to Europe. The body was subject to a restoration in 2006 and the paintwork today presents well, having been recently treated to a bare metal respray. The hood is in excellent condition and the interior a true delight, complete with the original Blaupunkt radio and clock. The engine is the correct type 616/1 but is not original to the car. There are a number of bills in the history file from Porsche Monaco and documentation confirms that the car had previously been UK registered.

This 356 Cabriolet was serviced, tuned, the spark plugs changed, and supplied with 1 year’s MOT test validity in 2014. However, it has subsequently been maintained by Porsche specialists ‘Flat 06’ in Monaco and there is an invoice in the history file for €2,000 dated January 2017.

As well as being sporty and lots of fun, this late built ‘T6’ Cabriolet is a perfect representation of the late fifties/early sixties period that is absolutely in fashion at the moment, and this little silver convertible would be welcome at any classic car event /rally/garden party or anywhere really and looks a very reasonable ownership proposition.

Realm Engineering of Honeybourne in Worcestershire has built up a fine reputation over almost four decades for its RAM recreations. In particular, their Jaguar D-Types that benefitted from chassis design input by Reynard Racing resulting in greater strength and ultimately better road-holding. After a three-hour stint behind the wheel of a Realm D-Type Sir Jack Brabham commented: “That’s a damn sight better than the original!” Richard Noble has one of his own, and Sir Stirling Moss OBE said: “You guys have done an excellent job here, you should be proud.” Jaguar Quarterly magazine described the car as ‘impressive’ with handling ‘beyond question’ and ‘a whole bucketload of fun’.

This, short-nose example, of Jaguar’s legendary Le Mans-winning D-Type Jaguar features steel-braced glass fibre bodywork with an aluminium passenger-carrying style tub with full-width windscreen first seen on the works cars at Le Mans in 1955. With almost exclusively Jaguar running gear, unlike some its rivals, the RAM is described as having: “undisputed mechanical integrity.” The car retains a 1962 Jaguar identity and was believed to have been built around 1990 for a flight engineer. It was sold via Roger Taylor Classics in 2000 and again in 2003 to Nick Godfrey, who, at the time, was managing director of Alpina and worked closely with Frank Sytner. He was responsible for several significant upgrades including Ian Nuthall suspension and a Ray Mills 4.2-litre engine fed by three Weber 45 DCOE carburettors.

Since then it has passed through a number of collections until purchased by our vendor last year. He has even campaigned the car at Prescott where it was described in the Bugatti Owners’ Club magazine ‘Bugantics’ as “looks very period as it heads up towards Ettore’s”. The engine is reported to have 6,500 miles on it, bringing the car’s total mileage to 9,968. Equally at home on long trips with the overdrive enabling relaxed cruising or sliding round a circuit, this ‘D’ is certainly a cut above the rest. With its correct Dunlop style Knock-Off wheels, short registration number (63 SYA), white racing number roundels, and gentle patina, the car is frequently mistaken for an original.

The engine fires up on the button and runs extremely well even at tickover. The exhaust note is modest at idle but clearly, makes all the right noises when ‘on song’. In addition, the car is ageing very nicely indeed with the bodywork and interior displaying gentle use. Supplied with a UK registration certificate, some bills in the history file, and a current MOT certificate valid until April 2018, we would suggest that the lucky new owner simply drives and enjoys this wonderful machine. Pre-sale inspections are welcome and prospective bidders should contact the office for further details. This Jaguar respectfully and elegantly pays homage to one of the greatest British sports cars of all time.

Introduced at the 1953 Paris Auto Show, the 550 and its second iteration, the 550A, remained in production until February of 1959, and a total of only 130 chassis were constructed before the 718 RSK Spyders appeared. A large proportion of 550 production was destined for the United States.

The 550 will forever be associated with actor and budding racing driver James Dean. This association would be immortalised when, during September 1955, Dean was driving one of the first ninety 550 Spyders and fatally collided with Donald Turnupseed on his way to the Salinas Road Race.

The 550 is among the most frequently reproduced classic cars, given its effortlessly pretty styling, its sublime driving dynamics and the prohibitive rarity and thus cost of an original example. The most sought-after homage cars are always hand-built out of aluminium, utilise a genuine Porsche engine and, where possible, have the look, feel and patina of the real thing. Combine this with the romantic image of the little silver Porsche being driven in the sun by a famous actor, and you are pretty damn close! This is all true of the car presented here.

This car is something of an enigma. It was bought four years ago by our car-collecting UK vendor from the celebrated French Film and TV actor Arsene Jiroyan. During their shared correspondence in the buildup to the sale of the car (and at the lunch that followed in Cannes when our vendor clichéd the deal!), Arsene spoke about the history, as he believed it, of his car. The car was supposedly built by Autotechnica (A.T.L.) in Mandello Del Lario on Lake Como, Italy in the early 1970s.

Ercole Zuccoli founded the company in the late 1960s with production ceasing in 1976.

The car’s aluminium bodywork is believed to have been crafted at A.T.L. by the talented ‘artigiano’ Giorgio Greppi, who subsequently

set up ‘Carrozzeria Greppi’ with his brother in Colico on Lake Como in the early 1970s. The Greppi brothers went on the build a number of aluminium classic Italian replicas including nine examples of the legendary Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale using the Superleggera construction design used by Touring for 1950s/60s Maseratis and Aston Martins.

A.T.L. and early Greppi cars are now collected as important cars in their own right.

Arsene states in emails to our vendor that, in the early 1990s, he was invited to the famous Gérier museum, established by the former racing driver, historian and car collector extraordinaire Serge Pozzoli to house his amazing vehicles. This visit may have coincided with an auction of cars held after the death of Pozzoli in 1992. Arsene viewed many cars in the main areas, but also some cars that were in storage behind the actual museum and weren’t for sale at this time. It was here he spotted this 550 Spyder, next to a Veritas BMW Barchetta. After many years of searching, Arsene rediscovered this same Spyder for sale and bought it. Since owning the car, Arsene has established that the car is mentioned in a book by Paul Frère. Arsene was also in contact with a man whose father was a mechanic at Le Mans and somehow knew of the 550 and confirms, in a hand-written letter, the A.T.L/Greppi and Pozzoli connections. All correspondence, emails, and this letter are included in the car’s history file.

Confirmed by its engine number, the car utilises a genuine 1600 C (Type 616/15) Porsche engine, as used in 1964 Porsche 356s models (built in 1963), whilst its chassis number relates to a VW registered in 1966.

After our vendor purchased the car and when it first arrived on in the UK, it was transported directly to classic Porsche specialists Roger Bray of Exeter, who have particular expertise with 356s. The car was given a thorough health check and service, to the tune of £2,500.

Since then, it has been well maintained, always garaged and drives very well. It is UK-registered, with an MOT certificate valid until May 2018 and wears the evocative registration ‘515 AVO’.

There is a lot to like here, an intriguing car with an interesting history that may reward further research by its new owner. It turns heads like nothing else, with or without an actor behind the wheel!

The Donald Healey Motor Company completed its first car in 1945, going into full-time production the following year. The firm’s first offering was a 2.4-litre, Riley-powered sports saloon with a strengthened chassis and Healey’s own trailing arm independent front suspension.

For the ‘clubman racer’, there was the dual purpose ‘Silverstone’, a model equally at home on road or track. Designed by Len Hodges, the lightweight two-seater body was crafted in aluminum, while the car’s purposeful look was enhanced by cycle wings and closely spaced headlamps mounted behind the radiator grille. Another unusual feature was the spare wheel that protruded from its compartment in the tail, thus doubling as a bumper. ‘The Motor’, when it announced and featured the model in July 1949, described the Silverstone as a “light ‘competition type’ two-seater on offer at the basic price of £975”.

The Silverstone was soon making a name for itself in rallying and circuit racing. With Donald himself, together with co-driver Ian Appleyard, securing a second in class and second overall in the 1949 Alpine Rally, they were the highest placed British car.

Other noteworthy international successes included Peter Riley and Bill Lamb’s class win in the 1951 Liège-Rome-Liège Rally, Peter Simpson’s 6th place overall in the 1951 Isle of Man Manx Cup Races and Edgar Wadsworth and Cyril Corbishley’s victory in the 1951 Coupe des Alpes.

Many future stars gained their first track experience in the Silverstone, most notably Tony Brooks.

In 1966 the ‘Silverstone’ was purchased by a Mr P. Jackson and sold again in 1969 to a Mr J.R. Thompson of Northamptonshire for £600. It remained in the county with Mr Thompson in dry storage until 1998, when the current family owners, themselves mechanical engineers, discovered the car in need of restoration. They quickly set about a complete rebuild and nearly all parts were taken off, repaired and restored back to original specification. The body was separated from the chassis and both chassis and aluminium body were repaired as required.

NUG 918 was finally finished in 2003. It has been used sparingly since and is now reading just 10,501 miles, which the family owners believe are genuine miles based on the condition of the vehicle when they purchased it. This mileage cannot be substantiated with paperwork but a previous MOT certificate from 1986 does show the odometer reading at 5,000 miles. Prior to the auction, the vehicle will be serviced and spanner checked. We welcome pre-sale inspections and encourage prospective bidders to contact the office for further details.

The Healey Silverstone was a model known for its superior power-toweight ratio, offering fantastic handling and performance from a car that was a true ‘giant killer’ in the early 1950s. NUG 918 retains a wonderful road presence today and is extremely rare, as one of just 105 cars ever built. Silverstone Auctions are delighted to be offering this stunning British sports car at the Silverstone Classic, an event and location that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Healey Silverstone.

There were two generations of Silverstone’s, designated ‘D-Types’ and ‘E-Types’, in addition to two prototype “X” models. The D-Type had a front anti-roll bar and stiffer springs and retained the Riley 2.5 litre power-plant and rear axle. An updated E-Type, with a wider body and more comfortable cockpit, was introduced in 1950.

This 1950 Healey Silverstone, chassis number E64, was first registered on 17th July 1950 with the number plate NUG 918. The original buff log book declares the engine number as B4520, which is stamped on the ‘Big Four’ Riley engine today. In addition, there are tax stamps showing early use from 1950-1955.

The BMW 1M was conceived as a pure drivers’ M-car and was designed to compete directly with the Porsche Cayman S, Nissan 370 Z and Audi TT RS. It was built in very low numbers and just 450 examples were available to UK buyers. The model was universally acclaimed by the motoring press and ‘Evo Magazine’ wrote: “The BMW 1M was among the first proper M cars to use turbocharging; it may have vexed the purists, but its engine is a belter and a big part of its appeal. Driving the rear wheels via a lovely slick sixspeed manual gearbox is a 335bhp twin-turbo three-litre straight-six engine. In the 1,495kg 1M Coupé, it yields a 4.8 second 0-60 time and an electronically-limited 155mph top speed, though we’ve seen an indicated 170mph on an unrestricted German Autobahn.”

Supplied with its original books, current MOT certificate and UK registration, this 1M will be driven to the auction. In addition, the car has just been serviced and represents a tantalising proposition for any BMW enthusiast. We welcome pre-sale inspections and encourage prospective bidders to contact the office for further details.

Finished in Valencia Orange, the favoured colour of BMW CEO Dr. Kay Segler, with black leather interior with orange stitching, this 1M Coupé was sold new in the UK. The car features a very high specification with satellite navigation, electric seats and lots of optional extras. The paintwork and bodywork are in fine order with excellent shut lines and consistent panels. The interior is also in lovely order and the cabin is a luxurious, whilst highly practical, place to be.

In 1980, seven years after winning the World Rally Championship, Renault introduced the new R5 Turbo as a pure homologation special to enable them to compete in Group 3 and 4 racing and international rally competition. The R5 was based on the production Renault 5 Alpine hatchback, but to meet the demands of its intended mission, Renault engineers scrapped the standard 5’s front-engine, front wheel-drive layout in favour of a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout that positioned the engine and gearbox longitudinally behind the front seats.

Overall, the car is in super condition throughout and we believe the 65,941km covered, whilst unwarranted, to be correct and commensurate with the condition of the car. Accompanying the sale is a set of four original Gotti alloy wheels, which will need refurbishing and new tyres fitted before putting onto the car.

Supplied with a NOVA reference number, this car will need to be MOT tested before a UK V5C can be applied for. Rarely do these pocket-rocket supercars come to market and this R5 Turbo offers the perfect opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a 1980s rally icon.

We are pleased to offer this 1981 Renault 5 Turbo that, we understand, was first delivered new to Switzerland where it remained until 2006, before being sold to a collector in Spain. It made its way to the island of Tenerife, where our vendor sourced and purchased the car in 2014. Finished in Dark Blue Metallic paint with Light Blue bumpers and sills, this car has benefitted from a full respray, carried out by the previous owner. According to our vendor, the car received a comprehensive service and new clutch at the same time. The toolkit is partially complete, but importantly, the tool to unlock the engine cover remains in situ. Open the bonnet and the spare wheel also resides in place.

The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, as a parallel model to the Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the sensuous Dino 246. It was designed

by Leonardo Fioravanti and the early cars were made of lightweight fibreglass and powered by a 255bhp (in Europe), V8 running on carburetors. The Targa topped 308 GTS arrived in 1977 and was perhaps best known for its regular appearances on the television series ‘Magnum, P.I.’ Properly maintained 308s are now highly soughtafter and the model is enjoying a well-deserved and dramatic rise in popularity.

This lovely example is a UK, right-hand drive car and was first registered on 01/05/1978 having been supplied by Huddersfield Garages Ltd., to a Mr. Charles Spencer of Leeds. It was finished in Rosso Corsa with a Tan Hide interior and silver Cromodora alloys, on which it still sits today. The speedo heads on these cars are notoriously fragile and our car has had two, with the first speedo head change at 12,498 miles 3/5/1979 (12 months old), the second on 10/3/1980 at 4,746 miles and now indicates 32,005 miles so 49,249 miles in total.

Our vendor, who has a private collection of classic cars, has owned the 308 for seven years and it has been kept in a professional dehumidified and heated car storage facility. During his ownership he had the car repainted (2013) with a photographic record and has maintained

The car has a continuous service history including over 20 MOT tests going back to 1983 and many old tax discs. It has its original Ferrari wallet with Manuals and Service Records with servicing receipts and paperwork from the likes of Modena for Ferrari, Ferrari Owners’ Club, Graypaul Ferrari, Verdi for Ferrari, Lancaster Ferrari, and marque specialists etc. Our vendor has advised us that the Ferrari’s air conditioning is not working as the pump has been removed for ease of servicing and has been boxed and stored in the boot. The MOT certificate (no advisories) is valid until 18th April 2018, and the cherished number DUI 97, which has been on this 308 since 1999, will remain on the car.

As is often the case with classic cars, nearly 40 years of hindsight has a habit of clarifying the picture and, as with other Marques, the earlier models have become the most desirable. In the case of the 308, the succeeding 328, 348 and 355 became more sophisticated and better equipped but also heavier and more complex and, in the end, it’s the 308 that retains the essential purity of Fioravanti’s original concept.

The Mercedes-Benz 280SL ‘Pagoda’ was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971.

The W113 was then replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 quietly evolved from a nimble ‘sports car’ into a comfortable ‘grand tourer’ and was usually equipped with four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The final evolution of the Pagoda was the 280SL, launched in November 1967 with a host of technical improvements, and is now seen as the most refined iteration of the W113 series. The robust new seven-bearing, 2778cc, M130 engine developed 170bhp and perfectly suited the automatic transmission.

New one-piece wheel trims distinguished the last W113 but alloys were now an option. By the time production ceased in March 1971, some 23,885 had been made making the 280SL the most popular of all W113 variants.

sold to Mr. Benjamin of Brentford. In his care, the car was routinely maintained by M-B specialists, Pargan Autos in Ealing, with many bills for parts supplied directly from Mercedes-Benz, and along with the encouraging amount of invoices in the file are 13 previous MOT certificates corroborating the indicated mileage. Clearly, this Pagoda has been well looked after throughout its life and may have been resprayed at some point, although the quality of the shut lines and the overall condition of the car lead us to believe that it has never been fully dismantled.

Supplied with a UK V5C and MOT tested until 22nd March 2018, this lovely 280SL Pagoda is now showing 88,880 miles on the odometer. All the qualities that made the Pagoda SLs so desirable in their heyday remain today - chic styling, Teutonic build quality, and wonderfully spirited driving. The 280SL has never gone out of fashion but interest - and values - have never been stronger than today.

The new Intermeccanica was built and assembled entirely in-house in Italy and a deal was struck with Ford to supply the mechanics.

The hand-crafted, steel-bodied ‘Torino’ was born and proved successful in both coupé and convertible forms. The car was later renamed the ‘Italia’ in late 1967 in the interest of keeping relationships with Ford healthy as they planned to call one of their new models by the same name. This highly successful elegant, sexy sports car caught the eyes of discerning car lovers.

The car offered here Chassis #40052 is documented in “Intermeccanica, The Story of the Prancing Bull” as the second Torino Coupé produced and the seventh car to roll of the production line. This very early car benefits from being fitted with the Ford 289 Hi-Po V8 engine of 271bhp and close ratio, top-loader, four-speed gearbox. This combination was only fitted to the first 24 Torinos and it’s suggested in the book by the founders of Intermeccanica that this engine/gearbox batch was made available to them following a cancelled order from the Shelby Cobra program. Subsequent cars had to make do with the Ford 302 and later, the 351 Cleveland, which was detuned and restricted due to American emission laws. #40052 was purchased by our vendor in New York in 2015 as a restoration project, having not been run since 1982. A full and sympathetic restoration was completed over a period of around two years where everything was restored, refurbished or replaced as appropriate. The car has only completed a few miles since this restoration and will require a proper post-restoration shake-down before being subjected to extensive use.

Critically, the car retains all its factory-installed suspension and running gear, including the all important and valuable Hi-Po engine.

When purchased, the engine was fitted with a Shelby dual-quad intake manifold and dual Holley 4-barrel carbs. Whilst it is unknown if these were later additions, they have certainly been with the car since 1982 and so were incorporated into the restoration as an integral part of the car’s history.

The bodywork was restored and repainted whilst the mechanics were dismantled and rebuilt with new parts as necessary, including the engine, which was similarly stripped and reassembled using as many original/new-old-stock parts as practical.

The Silverstone Classic Sale 2017

The interior was retrimmed with the exception of the centre console and the seats, which once carefully cleaned, were deemed in good enough condition to keep original.

Presented with the car is a history file, which includes many receipts from the restoration. Some parts not utilised in the restoration come with the car including the Remote Brake Booster (replaced with a more modern equivalent), dual points distributor baseplate (replaced with magnetic pickup), spare specially constructed mechanical tach drive cable etc. Copies of 1970s and early 1980s newsletters from the Intermeccanica Owners Club (of America) are available on the Internet and include an insight to the previous owners’ use of the car and provide interesting reading and a valuable source of information on these rare cars.

This, left-hand drive, Italia Coupé is a good looking car with lots of styling cues from other Italian exotics, and with its big American V8, is remarkably quick and handles well. One thing for sure, you’re unlikely to see another one.

The Deluxe Microbus (known as the ‘Sunroof Deluxe’ in America) was the most luxurious version of the Volkswagen Transporter T1.

The Deluxe model featured eight rear side windows and two rear corner windows, making it the ‘15-window’ but was not available in Europe. Meanwhile, the European-market Deluxe Microbus, with its additional eight small skylight windows is, accordingly, the ‘23-window’. From the 1964 model year with its wider rear door, the rear corner windows were discontinued, making the latter two, the 13-window and 21-window respectively. The 23 and later 21-window variants each carry the famous nickname ‘Samba’ and are especially revered.

Instead of a sliding door at the side, the Samba had two pivot doors and a fabric sunroof and were mostly painted in two colours, usually with the upper part coloured white and the two coloured sections being separated by a decorative strip. Sambas also have a more comprehensive dashboard than the normal T1 and are fitted with a so-called ‘hat’ over the front split-screen which acts as a sun visor for the driver.

When Volkswagen started producing the successor to the T1 (the T2) the company also stopped producing the Samba, so sadly no Sambas were available in later versions of the Volkswagen Transporter - making these early and rare models very sought-after and collectable.

The Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced in 1950 as a multi-variant utility vehicle, known as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus (depending on body type), and was devised as an evolution of the Volkswagen Type 1, the original Beetle. The first generation of these versatile vehicles (named the T1) was produced with distinctive splitscreens (‘splitties’) from 1950 until 1967. Only two models were originally offered, the Kombi and the Commercial, the Microbus was added in May 1950, and was joined by the Deluxe Microbus in June 1951.

prior to etch priming the whole shell. It was then primed and flatted six times, before being shipped off to the paint shop to be finished in the original Beige Grey over Sealing Wax Red. When it came to the running gear, the decision was taken to depart from standard to improve daily driving and cruising speed.

A ‘Creative Engineering’ IRS kit was matched with a 1303 Beetle gearbox and the beam/ball joint/brakes from a ‘68 Bay Camper.

A 1600 Twin Port engine was built by Bear VW Services who also rebuilt the gearbox. All the parts required to rebuild this bus were either NOS (new old stock) or original parts, and even the semaphores were sourced from the States and are NOS. The chrome parts were also sourced as new and not re-chromed. Great attention to detail has gone into the interior with a base ‘59 Devon interior being purchased in advance and then refitted to this bus.

Even the flooring with its red and white tiles, a feature only found in the Deluxe models, has been recreated to add to the original feel.

All of the cabinets and woodwork were completely overhauled and re-varnished to an as-new finish, and the cab seat and door panels were trimmed by ‘Spirit of the Fifties’. The result is amazing - pure 1959.

The bus was finally completed in 2005 and has travelled a mere 2,000 miles since its rebirth. There is a five-page colour feature on the story of 552 UXL’s rebuild in the April 2006 edition of “Volkswagen Camper and Commercial”, a copy of which is in the history file along with the V5 and a number of invoices.

The world’s appetite for VW Campers never seems to fade and this superbly detailed and sympathetically upgraded example is one of the nicest we have seen.

With Jaguar’s racing successes in the 1950s still fresh in the memory, it’s no wonder the E-Type captured the hearts and minds of a patriotic public at launch, and if all E-Types aged as gracefully as the car offered here, then it’s easy to understand why that affection continues today. The Series I, as it later became known, was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961, and UK cars began to appear in showrooms some four months later in early July.

The cars were initially fitted with the triple SU carburetted, 3.8-litre, six-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S mated to a Moss (EB) 4-speed gearbox.

This stunning, left-hand drive, Jaguar E-Type was supplied new on 22nd February 1962 to a Mr R.S. Reid of Aspen Colorado. According to the Heritage Certificate, the car was handed over at the works and UK-registered with the registration number 718 WK, which is still present on the car today. When the car was repatriated in 2015, the original number plate was reallocated to the car.

The interior is in superb order and the engine bay has been beautifully detailed. The engine block and head match the Heritage Certificate and the car drove very well on test.

This Jaguar E-Type is supplied with a current UK Registration Certificate and copies of its works registration allocation. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find an E-Type in such good condition whilst retaining its original feel and encouraging usability.

We welcome all pre-sale inspections and bidders should contact the office for further details.

The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995, retained a tight hold on the torch of the most powerful 911 variant whilst continuing the general development and improvements to the breed as a whole. Amongst the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled, viscous coupling, all-wheel drive system, something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the driveability of the Turbo. Under the engine lid, now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges, resided the 3.6-litre, flat-six force fed by twin K16 turbos.

Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet.

With all four wheels helping to evenly distribute great handfuls of power, 0-60mph was dispatched in a staggering 3.7 seconds, 100mph whistled by in a further 5.7 seconds, and the linear forward thrust continued until the speedometer needle had said goodbye to 180mph and you were on conversational terms with the horizon.

Our vendor purchased the car a few years ago from the wellrespected dealers, Hexagon, and in 2015 he commissioned the 111 point check with Porsche, with the details of this report included in the file.

This remarkable 308GTS was supplied new in September 1978 to its first proud owner, Mrs L. Jagger, from Trinity in North Jersey. Perhaps the Ferrari was not comfortable in the narrow streets and short roads of Bouley Bay, but it quickly reappeared in England and there is a Bill of Sale dated 12/03/1979 for £17,000 in the file indicating that the next owners were in Blandford in Dorset. The car was subsequently first registered here on 16/03/1979.

This Ferrari has been owned for eleven years by our vendor who is a remarkable man. He has been involved in classic car renovation for over fifty years and his name is synonymous with high-quality work. For example, he is currently building a ‘flat-floor’ E-Type completely from scratch, not a restoration but every piece formed by him from sheet metal. He has always been very fond of this little 308 and has been meticulous with its care. We understand that at one point he even kept it in his front room!

The astonishing condition of this Ferrari can be seen in the accompanying photographs and our consignor described it as one of the most beautiful he has ever seen. The owner describes the car as “Very well looked after. Really tight to drive, handles well and shockers good. Lovely to drive”. He tells us that “All the suspension has been reconditioned, bead blasted, and painted. Brakes have been completely overhauled with new brake lines where necessary. Body wise, I have opened up the pinch weld along both sills, bead blasted inside and out, and painted inside, then re-welded together correctly with a spot welder and repainted in colour. Also, any signs of rust were treated the same way keeping the car completely original with the same sills as it came out of the factory.”

The 308 is accompanied by a Ferrari car cover and an interesting history file containing lots of old MOT certificates, stamped service records etc. showing the car’s early service with main dealers, but whilst in his ownership, he has carried out the annual services and belt changes himself. Why wouldn’t you if you had the tools, expertise and knowledge, and it was your pride and joy? A note to this effect will be included in the sale for the new owner’s peace of mind. With the current indicated mileage at 67,808, prior to the sale, the car will have a full oil and belt service, and a new set of brake pads.

That said, the interior is in good shape and it does run and drive and even holds an MOT certificate until 3rd August! However, we would strongly recommend that any potential buyers for this car ensure that it is trailered/transported home and not driven.

There are numerous bills for maintenance over the years from Gornalls Garage in Hambleton, but one standout invoice for £2,865 dated June 1999 details an engine rebuild that included: new pistons, new main and big-end bearing shells, new timing chain, six new valves, and a new oil pump along with a host of other sundry

1973 De Tomaso Pantera to GT5 Specification

De Tomaso’s replacement for their successful Mangusta in 1971 was the avant-garde and stylish Pantera. Retaining the best of the ingredients from the Mangusta, including the mid-mounted 330 horsepower Ford 351 cubic inch V8 Cleveland engine, 5-speed ZF transaxle and dramatic styling, the Pantera also added monocoque construction into the mix. The cars sold well, limited production running from 1971 through to the early ‘90s with various derivatives appearing over the years.

Purchased by our vendor in 2011 from long-term custodians who had owned the car for 25 years, it was: “a long-held dream for me, this is my iconic eighties poster car.” Following the sale, this extremely rare, right-hand drive Pantera immediately underwent a full nose-to-tail review with one of the UK’s leading specialists. A list of works was prepared, and the car was fully recommissioned having spent a large proportion of its life in a static collection.

Since then a rolling restoration has been commenced, with recent attention to the cooling system and electrics. In 2012 a complete nut and bolt engine rebuild was undertaken by leading V8 specialist Huddart Racing Engines. When the engine was fully run-in after approximately 1,000 miles, the fluids were changed and a sequence of power-tuning runs were undertaken on their dyno by Janspeed.

A considerable number of invoices can be found in the history file (more than £35,000 on mechanicals alone), and photographs on file further detail the work completed.

The car corners flatly with no loss of equilibrium and you can power through tight bends without the tail budging an inch. Its composure is rock solid.”

Originally white over black, the car is now finished in Iris Blue Metallic, matched with cream and blue leather interior to the correct GT5 design. The car is in full, wide-body, GT5 specification and further enhanced with the lowered, flat floor of the ‘Group 4’ racing cars, original Campagnolo magnesium ‘Group 4’ racing wheels and a full 180-degree manifold racing exhaust to ‘Group 4’ spec.

Accompanying the car are its incredibly rare, original Glovebox Manual and its Workshop Manual, fitted car cover, along with a number of spare parts and a copy of the Auto Italia magazine is included in the thick history file. A very rare wide-body Pantera that gets invited to the very best events, it has been displayed at Hurlingham Concours d’Elegance, the EFG Concours at Wilton House, Parc Fermé at Brooklands and was nominated for Best in Show at the 2015 Goodwood Revival. It was also invited to attend the inaugural City Concours event in June 2017.

In the world of De Tomaso, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Our vendor has driven his Pantera very regularly and had it fully serviced annually by a specialist member of the De Tomaso Owner’s Club, in conjunction with the UK’s leading Lamborghini Countach specialist. Following an invitation to display the vehicle outside the main clubhouse at Auto Italia, Brooklands; respected journalist Richard Heseltine extensively reviewed the car at Longcross, Chobham for Auto Italia magazine and describes the car: “...acceleration is brutal, even in top. It emits the sort of surround sound fanfare that you image will accompany Armageddon and the sustained shove is precisely that: a shove...The Pantera’s chassis was good to begin with, which is to be expected of a Gian Paolo Dallara design, but this car’s setup feels more honed than most...

When Jaguar resumed car production in 1945, it dropped its pre-war sports car line to concentrate on saloon manufacture, however, at the 1948 Motor Show the firm astonished the public by announcing a new two-seater roadster; the XK120, with the name reflecting its top speed. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar’s famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, intended for the MkVII saloon, then two years away. Its chassis was essentially a shortened version of the, simultaneously announced, MkV saloon, with torsion bar independent suspension and its comfort and road holding set new standards for British sports cars.

In May 1949, on the Jabbeke to Aeltre autoroute, a model with its hood and side screens in place recorded a speed of 126mph and no less than 132mph with the hood and windscreen detached and an undertray fitted. The car was in almost instant demand and it caught Jaguar by surprise. The first 240 examples retained coachbuilt aluminium bodies before pressed steel, which was less labourintensive, took over.

This 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster was sold by the Paragon Motor Company of Oldham to a Mr A.T.G. Edwards on 8th January 1951.

The original colour was Bronze with a biscuit interior. Little is known of its history until February 1992 when it was purchased by the last registered keeper from Jim Tester, who had restored the car with his legendary suspension and chassis modifications. It then passed through Henry Pearman of Eagle E-Types, who actually raced TSK 235 at the 50th Anniversary XK celebration in 2009. It was acquired by our vendor in 2012 and he has maintained the car to the very highest standards.

The specification of this 120 is simply incredible. One of only six believed to have been built, it features an all-alloy body by Bob Smith of R.S. Panels, the aforementioned Jim Tester chassis utilising a six-point, rose jointed rear axle location, rack and pinion steering, four-pot calipers with vented front discs, a 3.8-litre engine located six-inch lower in the chassis frame, big valve cylinder head and triple SU carbs on an E-Type manifold. In addition, “the brakes feature a separate competition pedal box with fully adjustable, twin master cylinders, giving ample leg room for people over 6 feet!”

The Silverstone Classic Sale 2017

This specification simply gives the best of both worlds being built as a docile and flexible road car, comfortable for long distance touring yet very competitive on a race circuit if desired. The current UK V5C states the vehicle has had seven former keepers and the history file contains four previous MOT certificates dating back to 1998.

The current owner has campaigned TSK 235 and has had great pleasure in doing so. The car has been almost exclusively maintained by one of the best in the business, CKL Historic Cars & Racing, and there are a vast number of bills in a very detailed history file. Other notable specialists that feature over the years include Racing Green Cars, Sigma Engineering and RS Panels.

If one wanted to build a car to this specification today it would certainly cost over £175,000. We are delighted to offer this stunning XK120 to the open market and encourage prospective bidders to contact the office for further details on what is, without question, a very special Jaguar.

This ambitious project was completed in just six months by the team at the ‘Porsche Classic Restoration Centre’ to an exceptional standard resulting in two major accolades at the awards ceremony.

The first was the winner of ‘Porsche Cars GB Employee’s Choice’ and the second win was for ‘Best Mechanical Restoration’. A thorough account of the full restoration is chronicled in a dedicated seven-page feature in the April 2015 issue of Classic Cars magazine and a book produced by the Porsche Centre Leeds. The basis for this restoration was an original UK right-hand drive 1981 930 Turbo, which had been discovered in a garage north of Leeds after having been laid up for more than fifteen years. Complete, but down on its luck in terms of condition, it required a full nut and bolt restoration.

Jack Clarke was responsible for the running gear and brakes. He remembers the moment he saw the project and realised he was in for some late nights to get it all done. “The calipers were seized, the pistons jammed, the handbrake cable stuck and the wheels were scraping on the inside of the wheel arches”. These observations weren’t too daunting until the brief arrived suggesting that as many parts as possible were required to be retained by sandblasting and zinc plating rather than replacing, and have it all finished in just a few months. Just removing and stripping the brakes took an entire day due to corrosion, split calipers, locked handbrake and perished seals, however, shot blasting, zinc-coating and, no doubt a lot of swearing got it to tip-top standard. Finally, refinished wheels and fresh tyres completed this section.

On to the mechanicals, the section for which their major accolade was received. Despite starting and running upon delivery to the JCT600 workshops, it was feared that any extensive engine tests may cause unnecessary harm and since a full mechanical strip, repair and rebuild were scheduled anyway, this started in earnest.

Andrew Wrexham, the Porsche Centre Leeds engine shop manager, identified rusty tin-ware, inhibited fins and baffle plates, corroded aluminium parts, nut fittings and pipework as well as more oil on the outside than the inside. As with the bodywork, attention to originality was key so it was imperative that despite being a 33-yearold engine, as many original parts as possible were to be retained.

The Silverstone Classic Sale 2017

As such, the engine retains its original aluminium crankcases and rocker covers that were vapour-blasted, which is the only technique that won’t pockmark delicate surfaces. Despite all their heroic efforts, a new wastegate and new turbocharger were ordered and fitted. The gearbox, though thoroughly inspected required little work.

It didn’t need new synchromesh so was cleaned, reassembled and performs well. The end result is a real credit to the restorers.

Finally, the interior and electrics. The domain of Andrew Smith who was hampered by inaccessible fuse boxes and 1980s wiring with no block connectors meaning a very involved process with connections that required being individually screwed in. The seats responded well to restuffing and reconditioning, and notwithstanding some difficulty finding a replacement carpet set or period-correct headlining, they were of course correctly sourced and expertly fitted. It must be said that the restoration is simply incredible and worthy of the accolades it has received.

Sold by us in October 2015 to a long-standing client, the 930 Turbo joined his stable of ‘supercars’ that included a Jaguar XJ220, a Porsche 993 Turbo S and a Porsche 2.7RS. Although in great order when sold, our vendor decided to spend an additional £10,000 with Tech 9 Motorsport, the internationally renowned Porsche specialists.

Having covered some 200 miles since then, the car is now in absolutely top order, and this is a Porsche that demands serious consideration today. The incredible history file includes features in several Porsche and classic motoring magazines, a book produced

by JCT600 about the restoration, a pen-drive with photographs of the restoration process, nearly £30,000 worth of invoices for Porsche parts alone, and its most recent MOT Certificate valid until January 2018.

From the legendary Alpina stable, this V12, 5.7 litre, six-speed manual, right-hand drive B12 Coupé serves up a healthy 416bhp and a top speed of 189mph. In total, Alpina built 57 examples powered by their 5.7-litre B2 engine, and only seven of these E31 850 super coupés were right-hand drive, making this a very rare car.

Thought to be one of only five remaining, chassis #13, along with three other Alpina B12s, was originally destined for the Sultan of Brunei’s collection. Two were delivered, the other pair only getting as far as the Sultan’s Singapore dealer. By 2001 it became apparent that he would not be taking delivery, so the remaining two Alpinas (chassis #10 and #13) were acquired by Sytner BMW in the United Kingdom where they were both sold to Sir Anthony Bamford. This meant that #13 was first registered on the 28th of November 2001, some eight years after it was manufactured.

Now having covered 178,500km (111,000 miles), the Alpina benefits from a being regularly maintained, including servicing at Sytner and Soper BMW main dealers, and supplied with a comprehensive history file, BMW 850CSi owner’s manual, fully stamped service book, Alpina build-sheet and two Alpina supplementary manuals, all adding up to show that this car has obviously been cossetted.

The wheels have been freshly refurbished and the dark blue leather interior has been Connolised, complementing the deep shine of the Mauritz Blue exterior.

This athletic Alpina is ready and waiting to be enjoyed and would reward any inspection.

(Please note that the vendor will be retaining the cherished number plate).

The current (2nd) custodian purchased #13 from Graypaul in March 2004 when it had only covered 7,000km (The Sultan of Brunei usually requested UK-specification cars with a metric speedometer).

Factory-fit options included sun blinds, sports seats and the hot climate spec. (no heated seats but more powerful air conditioning).

It was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed by the company to be significantly different (80% new they said) from the 964. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. Importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models. The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise, and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the ‘Weissach effect’), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking, and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system.

August 1995 heralded the introduction of the ‘Varioram’ induction system, helping to boost power to 285bhp, and enabling a top speed close to 170mph with acceleration to match.

The 993 was the final generation of air-cooled 911s, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts.

With Jaguar’s racing pedigree with the ‘C’ and ‘D’-Types from the 1950s still fresh in people’s memories, it’s no wonder that the new ‘E’-Type captured the hearts and minds of everyone at its launch, and if all E-Types aged as gracefully as the car offered here then it’s easy to understand why that affection continues today.

Built in 1965, this Series I car is fitted with the 4.2-litre engine that became a standard fitment in October 1964 accompanied by a number of other improvements to the model including an allsynchromesh gearbox, replacing the occasionally recalcitrant Moss gearbox, along with more comfortable seating and improved brakes.

The car remains in exceptional condition since its restoration having been fastidiously maintained and cared for. There is a Service History file with the car showing regular maintenance by its present owner, and confirming that during his ownership the car has always been kept in dry storage and much enjoyed over the summer months only.

This gleaming black E-Type looks fantastic ‘in the metal’ and is reluctantly for sale as a new Jaguar purchase is now consuming our vendor’s time. We welcome any inspection.

Originally built for the American market in left-hand drive and finished in Gloss Black, it was supplied to Jaguar Cars in New York in 1965 and was much admired in the US of A for 25 years before returning to the UK in 1990. During the 1990s, a lengthy restoration was undertaken by Ivydene Garage and it was during this meticulous restoration that the car was accurately converted to right-hand drive configuration. The interior was superbly retrimmed in a light grey/ blue, however the original exterior colour and original engine were retained. In 2001, on completion of this extensive process, this lovely Series 1 was registered and happily returned to the lanes of England for the first time in 35 years.

In Classic Car terms the word ‘original’ is normally understood to mean that a car is, as close as possible, composed of exactly the same components that it was wearing when it left the factory. Over time, the word has softened to mean that if those components are replaced, they are replaced with items that match exactly, and the closer a shiny classic looks to the day it left the showroom, the more it is adjudged to be original.

Motors for a competition upgrade and modifications to Rally spec.

They had the car up until 08/2000 and charged around £60,000.

The Jaguar was returned to Twyford in 2005/2006 for further upgrades and the fitting of a ‘Sigma’ competition engine and this time the bill was £58,000. (All of this is in the file).

The dramatic Jaguar, 3.8-litre XK150S ‘Fast Road/Rally’ spec on offer here is at the opposite end of the spectrum to the above definition and yet, in concept and execution, it is properly ‘original’.

With post-war Jaguar concentrating on the manufacture of large comfortable saloons, the production of a two-seater sports car did not appear a priority, but with their marketing department sensing the future lay in ‘performance’ with all the “Grace, Space and Pace” stuff, the XK 120 duly appeared and Jaguar was only going in one direction. All over the world, XK 120s were stripped of their windscreens, the spare wheel removed, the tyres blown up, and “let’s go racing”. The essence of the XK is performance and competition, and they were never intended to become the comfort-driven, ‘boulevard’ cars that somehow the XK 150 morphed into. So, in our opinion, this seriously quick, stripped and focussed, bright red 150S is absolutely entitled to be called ‘original’.

Basic Specification and Modifications.

According to the Register, RBN 376 began life on 17/03/60 as a Fixed Head Coupé finished in Pearl Grey with a Red interior before being despatched to Parkers in Bolton. Over the next 55 years, this remarkable car has been entrusted to a number of specialists and the history file is two feet deep so we are going to paraphrase where possible. (This file will be available from our documents desk during the Sale).

In 1990/91 the car spent some time at Peter Thurston, Classic Jaguar Specialists in Herne Bay for a full restoration and it may have been at this time that it was converted to a Drop Head Coupé.

Certainly, the invoice for circa £58,000 suggests that the work was substantial. Post-1991, the car was maintained by KJC Bell who’s invoicing up until November 1999 totalled £22,000. The owner prior to our vendor bought the Jaguar at this point and sent it to Twyford

1973 Ford Escort MkI Mexico

The Ford Escort, in the hands of the Works Rally team, was practically unbeatable in the late sixties and seventies. Perhaps their most notable early success was winning the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally driven by Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar Palm. Third, in a similar 1850cc Escort, was Rauno Aaltonen and Henry Liddon backed up by Timo Makinen in fifth and the unlikely combination of Tony Fall and Jimmy Greaves just behind in sixth. This result seemed to capture the public’s imagination and, with the old adage of “Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday” in mind, Ford developed the Escort Mexico, a road-going version of their winning rally car.

It seems likely that Ford already had plans to produce a highperformance Escort to fit in the range between the 1300GT and the Twin Cam/RS1600, and their victory in Mexico provided an ideal platform to launch such a model. The engineers at the newly formed A.V.O (Advanced Vehicle Operations) quickly developed the ‘Mexico’, marrying the Type 49 bodyshell as used in the Twin Cam and RS1600 with the 1600cc Kent ‘crossflow’ engine and 2000E gearbox.

So, effectively, the Mexico was basically a re-engined Twin Cam / RS1600. All Escort Mexicos were built at Ford’s AVO plant at Aveley in South Essex and a total of 10,352 had been built when production ceased. For many drivers of standard Escorts, the rally cars were an aspirational dream echoed by Ford’s promotional chant of ‘‘Share in our Success’’ after each rally win.

Offered here is a genuine AVO Escort Mexico with the correct ‘Type 49’ bodyshell that has been well known to the Ford AVO Club for some 25 years. From 2002 until 2006 it was the pride and joy of the ‘Ford Escort MkI’ registrar, Kerry Sealey, and the car features in the DVD/Video ‘The History of the Ford Escort’, copies of which are still available.

Finished in vibrant Sebring Red with a Black Beta cloth interior, this stunning Escort is a testament to its exacting restoration in 2002. In 2006, a number of period modifications were added sympathetically as a nod to the competition cars of the day. The engine was entrusted to Phil Jones, the renowned engine builder, who totally rebuilt it incorporating forged pistons, a big valve head, alloy roller rockers, twin Weber 45s with double linkage, a genuine and rare Mass exhaust manifold, a lightened flywheel, and a big wing sump and oil cooler to

ease lubricant temperatures. It now produces around 155bhp, which is fed through a competition clutch and a Phil Jones Pro Quaife 2000E straight-cut box with a Milton quick shift. The brakes are competition specification with a Gartrac pedal box and AP ‘Monte Carlo’ discs at the front and nine-inch drums at the rear. The front suspension is virtually all Gartrac with a ‘World Cup’ cross member, fully adjustable with roller bearing top mounts, and the rear suspension is the correct single leaf with AVO dampers.

The interior is period correct with Contour ‘Clubman’ seats in black Beta as used by the works Escorts. Further period fitments include a genuine AVO six-dial dash with 140mph speedo and 8000rpm tachometer and a ‘Butler’ navigator’s light, which is a period AVO item. The exterior look is enhanced by a quartet of 1970s Cibie Oscar spot lamps with dove grey shells, and a pair of very rare Wingard door mirrors.

Freshly MOT tested and on the button, this is an excellent example of one of the most iconic rally cars of a generation with period modifications that make this Mexico a must-have for any enthusiast with a vivid memory.

In March 1999, a totally revised DB7 Vantage and Vantage Volante made their debut at the annual Geneva Motorshow building on the success of the in-line six-cylinder DB7. The new Vantage models featured an all-new 420bhp, 6.0-litre V12 engine, with a choice of 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic gearbox. A ‘Touchtronic’ option quickly became available offering a more involving experience for customers who preferred the best of both worlds. In addition to the new powertrain, the Vantage had more aggressive styling, with a bigger front grille, new fog/side/indicator lights and imposing 18-inch wheels with Bridgestone S02 tyres. The interior leather trim was cut and sewn at a special trim shop at Newport Pagnell along with Wilton Carpet for the flooring and choice of wood veneer or carbon fibre facia panels.

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was the first iteration of the SL-Class grand tourer and the fastest production car of its day. Introduced in 1954 as a two-seat coupé with distinctive gull-wing doors, it was later offered as an open roadster. Hugely successful in Europe and across the pond, coupé and roadster production topped out at 3,258 cars. Its successor, the 190SL, combined superb build quality with understated styling and a, not insignificant, 104bhp from the 1.9-litre, four stroke engine. An instant hit, the three-pronged star sparkled among the gloom of post-war austerity. The 1955 launch of the 190SL cemented Mercedes-Benz’s reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Unsurprisingly, most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market.

This particular left-hand drive 190SL, the 514th made, was shipped new from the Mercedes-Benz factory in Stuttgart to Houston, Texas in 1955. One can imagine it cruising elegantly down Westheimer, effortlessly holding its own against the bloated excesses of American chrome and fin. It seems that Chassis #514 enjoyed the arid climate of Texas for much of its life when its last American owner, a Mr Epstein of Houston sold it in 1994. It was then imported into the UK through Norway and was purchased by its current owner, Brian Gunney, who knew a good 190SL when he saw one. As the owner of Caerphilly-based Redcastle Classics, he has forty-years of classic restoration experience with MercedesBenz models and specialises in 190SLs. Embarking on a baremetal, ground-up restoration using his encyclopaedic knowledge and a remarkable attention to detail, #514 was reborn in 2005.

HM Custom duties were settled at this time and it was registered with the DVLA on 1st May 2005 and issued with the licence plate ‘585 UXD’. It must be noted that the V5C incorrectly lists the car as 1956, the accompanying copy build sheet clearly states it was dispatched in 1955 and our vendor, who bought the car from us in May 2015, is in the process of applying for this error to be corrected to 1955.

a sympathetic restoration by a marque specialist, the original chassis plates remain in place and the car boasts many distinctive early period features. Of particular note are the rare thumb-release catches on the door frame for the roof mechanism. The dashboard is a two-part early design with no clock set on the glovebox lid and there is no chrome in front of the rear wheel arches or on the eyebrows above the wheels. The interior was retrimmed in the trademark and very rare Mercedes plaid, the cloth perfectly complementing the blue leather and silver paintwork of the dashboard. The butter-soft tonneau cover in blue leather fits snugly over the stowed roof.

Remarkably for a car that has traversed the globe, the history file contains a copy of the original Stuttgart-issued build-sheet, showing that Chassis #514 left the factory on 11th September 1955. During the full engine rebuild the odometer reading was zeroed and it shows, at the time of consignment, a reading of a mere 1,500 miles since 2005 substantiated by the recent MOT certificates on file. As the personal conveyance of a renowned restorer, the car was started and idled to temperature regularly and enjoyed occasional runs. When our vendor purchased the car from us in 2015 it joined his stable of super classics, that includes a Porsche 2.7RS, Jaguar XJ220 and a brace of XK140s. Having covered some 200 miles in the car, and recently serviced, it is offered to auction with an MOT certificate until March 2018.

We are confident that this is one of the finest examples of an early 190SL available today and offers exceptional value in a rising market, as well as being the perfect companion for Continental touring.

The chrome dazzles in the spring sunshine and the silver paintwork gleams, perfectly complemented by the dark blue hood. As befits

Introduced in 1995, the Bentley Azure was based on the platform of the Continental ‘R’ Coupé which had been launched originally in 1991. By definition, a fully strengthened luxury convertible to seat four adults very comfortably, accommodate their luggage, and hide an engine sufficiently powerful to propel the entire ensemble towards the horizon in a linear fashion is never going to be a small car and the Azure often surprised with its remarkable ‘physical presence’. Power came from the company’s stalwart 6.75-litre V8, fed by a single inter-cooled turbocharger producing in the region of 380bhp, which when mated to a General Motors-sourced fourspeed automatic gearbox, enabled this superbly designed Bentley to silently waft up to 60mph in an impressive 6.1 seconds. Owing to the limited space at Bentley’s Crewe factory, the Azure was assembled and finished by Pininfarina, significantly adding to the vehicle’s production costs.

The Bentley Azure Jack Barclay Platinum was a limited edition motorcar marking the 70th anniversary of Jack Barclay Ltd., as well as rounding off an outstanding year for Rolls-Royce and Bentley sales around the world. Finished in special order Platinum coachwork, with Royal Blue leather, blue lambswool over rugs and magnificent Burr Walnut woodwork, the symmetrical veneers are matched throughout the car and are a fine testament to those

Befitting the invitation-only status for this model for Jack Barclay’s ultra VIP client list, this example, the ninth built, was ordered, according to a copy of an old V5C, by His Royal Highness Ibn Al Aziz of Saudi Arabia and registered to his Princes Gate address in Knightsbridge on the 11th July 1997.

The car was purchased by our vendor’s father just a month later, on the 18th August 1997, with our vendor taking over its tenure on the 31st July 2007. The car has been looked after by Bentley Birmingham during this family’s ownership and the service schedules warrant the mileage of 12,800 together with the MOT certificates on file. If there is any modern Bentley that demands a serious collector’s attention, this limited edition motorcar with its Royal history, long family ownership, and low mileage is a worthy contender.

The SL (R107) was a two-seat convertible with standard soft top, optional hardtop and optional folding seats for the rear bench. Its sibling, the SLC (C107) or ‘SL Coupé’ derivative, was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats. It was launched at the Paris Motor Show and signalled a shift in management thinking at Stuttgart about what made a successful luxury coupé. Sporting a longer wheelbase and sufficient interior room for four, the SLC was a sleek two-door car that combined the seating advantages of a fourdoor saloon with the pizzaz of a sporty coupé.

The car presented here is a very late model indeed, being a 1981 380SLC automatic, registered on the 15th January. This UK, righthand drive car is in quite splendid condition, and finished in the classic combination of Thistle Green paintwork and an Olive Green leather interior. Being a 380, it can muster a decent 215bhp from its M116 V8 engine, enabling it to cruise effortlessly, whilst also being capable of nudging 134mph. The car’s indicated mileage today

This venerable Mercedes has led a pampered existence and been owned by some distinguished figures. Our vendor has researched some of the car’s history, discovering that it was initially supplied by Long Rock Mercedes-Benz of Penzance and was first registered to a Mr Ivor Anthony Start of The Windsor Hotel in Newquay. The car’s last keeper was a Mr Michael Redfern, QC, who apparently enjoyed it as part of his small collection of select motor cars. Such was his admiration for the car, that he commissioned extensive work to be done by ‘Bowling Ryan’, well-known restorers of Rolls-Royce and Bentleys. This work is detailed in invoices totalling £8,500 and two files of photographs. In addition, the history file contains numerous bills for maintenance over the years carried out by both MercedesBenz and marque specialists. The car has had a recent service at Nick Webster, a Mercedes specialist in the North West of England, and has a fresh MOT certificate.

The day of the R107 has arrived and this well cared for 380SLC displays an enviable mileage and generally looks ready for the next 35 years.

The XKSS was produced following the decision made by Jaguar to pull out of all motorsport at the end of 1955. Sir William Lyons converted their 16 remaining ‘D-Types’ to road-going specification for the American market by adding a passenger door, a full-width windscreen and wipers, an exhaust heat shield, side screens, a folding roof, bumpers all round, a luggage rack and rear light clusters. It was to become a complete icon of the era, an outstanding and good looking car driven by the privileged few, including movie stars of the day such as Steve McQueen. Values of the original cars range from £8-£10 million today if you can find one.

A drivable, enjoyable, and a very cost-effective alternative is the wonderful Realm Engineering XKSS recreation offered here. Realm Engineering in Worcestershire is best known for their RAM Cobras and D and C-Type replicas. The RAM Cobra is the only Cobra recreation worldwide that has been given Carroll Shelby’s personal seal of approval, which tells you quite a lot about their design and engineering standards. The GRP body has integral subframes and all internal panels jig bonded into place, and the chassis is based on the original XKSS design but with substantial input from Reynard Engineering utilising modern techniques to produce more dynamic strength and consequently better handling.

The engine and drivetrain came from a 1967, 420 Jaguar and we believe that they were rebuilt at the time of the cars build that commenced in the early nineties and spanned nine years until its completion around the year 2000. During this time many period parts were sourced from autojumbles and Jaguar specialists to try and get as authentic a feel as possible. The odometer was zeroed when it was completed and now indicates 11,280 miles corroborated by a selection of MOT certificates showing its mileage back through the years.

The attention to detail, we have to say, is second to none and the interior is pure ‘50s Jaguar racer with the added bonus of some nicely worn switch gear. This functionality continues under the bonnet and there is nothing there that shouts ‘replica’. The car sits well on its Realm Engineering, period-correct, Dunlop knock-offs.

The Old English White paintwork retains a good shine, the shut lines are good, and overall the car presents really well.

Comparatively light, and with its 4.2-litre Jaguar engine and Reynard-tweaked chassis, this is undoubtedly a quick and competent motor car, however, and more importantly, it looks like a serious amount of fun.

Launched in 1972, the Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was originally fitted with Ferrari’s fabulous 4.4 litre V12 with 6 Weber carburettors producing 340bhp mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. In 1976, the 365 was replaced by the 400 Series, powered by an enlarged 4.8 litres and V12, which was now available with the option of a Borg-Warner 3-speed automatic gearbox. In 1979, the Webers were replaced with Bosch ‘K’ Fuel Injection and power dropped slightly to 305bhp, however, some three years later, reprofiled camshafts restored around 5bhp, bringing the output up to 310bhp.

This UK right-hand drive Ferrari 400i was supplied new through Coopers of Leicester to a Mr Page on 20th August 1980. Finished in Grey Metallic with a blue leather interior, the car is an automatic, making it one of only 152 UK-supplied cars in this configuration.

The question of how to tempt new customers into Porsche ownership has always been problematic. On the one hand, you’re trying to uphold the reputation of the company as a purveyor of high-quality, high-performance sports cars while on the other, you’re anxious not to alienate those potential customers whose budget won’t stretch to a new 911.

In 1964, Porsche had just such a problem with the sales of their new 911 proving a touch disappointing and continuing demand for the 356, which was scheduled to be phased out, necessitating that the production lines kept rolling. The solution seemed to be financial, and the decision was made to replace the 356 with a four-cylinder, more appropriately priced 911 and, as a result, the 912 (initially 902) was conceived. First available to European customers by June 1965 (initially with 1582 cc and 90bhp), the 912 soon became a market leader, particularly in the USA. In the UK, it was some 30% cheaper at £2,466 compared to the £3,488 price tag of the 911 and went on to outsell its six-cylinder sibling by no less than 188% in 1966.

Declared manufactured in 1968, this 912 was originally shipped to Porsche Southwest, USA and was to spend the next 30 years ‘across the pond’ before being imported to the UK in 1998. The second of its two owners since returning, our vendor, decided that although the

Chassis No: 12803024

car was becoming a little tired, it was basically very sound, and would justify a full restoration, and so it was entrusted to ‘Export 56’ in Milton Keynes.

The car has undergone significant works over the past 12 months including an engine-out strip and rebuild, new paint, exterior trim, lights, seal kit, seats original radio etc. There is too much to detail here, however, there is a comprehensive pile of invoices and worksheets with the car explaining exactly where our vendor’s £25,000 went.

This 912 is a 5-dial car with a 5-speed gearbox and has been correctly finished in a creamy Ivory White with a Black Leatherette interior. The car’s condition is as you would expect with a recent restoration (have a look at the pics), it is MOT tested and has not long been serviced.

The car is supplied with a detailed log of works from the early nineties including some correspondance with AFN Heritage confirming the car’s details are recorded on Porsche’s archives and this is in the history file with the invoices, V5 and MOT certificates.

This is a really lovely car, definitely one of the best 912s on the market and, apart from a couple of cylinders, has all the qualities of the early 911s that make them so sought after.

A radical change was on the cards in 1959 as Bentley, with US sales beginning to falter, realised that their faithful straight-six engine was getting a bit ‘long in the tooth’ and in the search for a more modern power unit, they turned to the General Motors-inspired 6,320cc all-aluminium V8. The new engine was a bit of a departure for Bentley and caused some consternation amongst traditional Bentley customers, however, in execution, their worries were short lived as the new power unit delivered more performance with unparalleled smoothness setting the standard for the rest of the century and ultimately, the S2 set the benchmark for others to follow.

the system. Following this, the S2 was sent to marque specialist Thompson Garages Ltd where it was fully undersealed, the cooling system pressure tested and found to be okay, and a host of other mechanical work undertaken.

In 2016, it was decided that the ‘old girl’ was overdue some fresh paint, so she was treated to a full bare metal respray in Smoke over Sage Green, with hand-painted coach lines, new Wilton carpets, new front and rear bumpers complete with over-riders, and new tyres.

The Lotus 23 was designed by Colin Chapman as small-displacement sports racing car and although nominally a two-seater, it was purposebuilt for FIA Group 4 racing in 1962-1963. Unlike its predecessors the Lotus 15 and 17, the engine was mounted amidship behind the driver in a similar configuration to the Lotus 19. A very attractive little sportsracer, it still looks ‘right’ over 50 years later.

Sutol Motorsport Ltd. was a small company in the West Midlands established by Murray Lewis and a number of former Lotus employees in the late 1980s. They produced Lotus 23B replicas in kit form using a modified version of the original chassis and bodywork from the original moulds.

According to the original sales invoice in the file, this car left the factory in February 1989 to be delivered to Mr Edward Chester of Berwick on Tweed. Mr Chester bought the car to race, but had it road-registered so that he could enter road-going classes. He competed at Knockhill, Ingliston and Croft whilst running the car with an 1840cc BDA engine.

In 1999, the car was sold to a professional automotive engineer, Neil Vickerman of Huddersfield. In his care, the car was fully rebuilt with many new parts, all of which is well documented with a raft of photographs. To complement the rebuild, a newly-built high specification 1650cc Lotus Twin Cam engine was installed. Most of the work was complete, save for the bodywork, and the car was sold to

another enthusiast. The car passed through one more owner before our vendor purchased it in October 2016.

Other work includes a newly fabricated roll hoop to current MSA standards, a new set of Kumho super-soft tyres, retrimmed seats, new harnesses, and the engine has been properly set-up.

The specification includes; a Van Diemen cast-alloy dry sump, big-valve cylinder head with unleaded inserts, QED 320 camshafts and Weber carburettors. Mated to the engine is a VW gearbox casing with Hewland internals built by PDS adjacent to a competition clutch, and the twin fuels tanks are set into bespoke fabricated aluminium side pods. The car has been fully rewired, fitted with a new race battery and cut off switch, and all new Smiths’ gauges including an electronic speedo and rev counter. The brakes are a combination of Elan and AP Racing, whilst the suspension consists of ‘Royale’ uprights and fully adjustable Spax shock absorbers.

Despite appearances to the contrary, this is a road car and is supplied with a UK V5C and a raft of invoices and photographs. This Lotus 23B replica is now in fine fettle and may perform well in local sprints and hill-climbs as well as turning a few heads on the high street.

We understand that it was remarkably sound when it was purchased by our vendors who are Porsche specialists in Scotland. It has never been restored and has only recently (2017) been painted, as one or two of the panels had faded slightly and were a bit mismatched.

The Jaguar E-Type was manufactured between 1961 and 1975 and its combination of good looks, high performance and competitive pricing established the model as an icon of 1960s motoring. The Series 1 was introduced, initially for export only, in March 1961 using the triple SU carburetted, 3.8-litre, six-cylinder XK engine from the XK150S. The car continued to be developed and the engine size was increased to 4.2-litres in 1964, although there was never a fixed specification for this unofficial model and it became known, latterly, as the Series 1.5. It can be recognised by its open headlights, small ‘mouth’ air intake, tail lights and indicators above the bumpers, and the exhaust tips under the number plate at the rear. It is undoubtedly one of the rarest of the E-Type variations as just 1,942 were made in right-hand drive out of a total for the model as a whole of 72,515. Enthusiasts claim that it is the best driving and most nimble derivative, and the 4.2-litre engine and all-synchromesh gearbox offered increased power and usability whilst retaining the fabulous looks of the earlier cars.

The Porsche RSR ‘Evocation/Replica’ market has grown enormously recently and demand is far outstripping the supply of quality machines. In more recent years, these cars have advanced somewhat, with some examples now using genuine RSR components and utilising even more specialised engineering techniques.

Consequently, now even some of the Evocation cars are realistically out of reach for most, with examples being offered in excess of £150,000.

The car offered here is based on a 1980 911 SC, having been substantially re-engineered to pay homage to the legendary RSR. Our vendor imported the car from the USA two years ago and has enjoyed it ever since. He informs us that the car still retains its original ‘SC’ chassis and engine number and he has paperwork from Porsche confirming this.

The engine is standard 3-litre rebuilt with JE Pistons, uprated connecting rods and 964 cams. When our vendor took delivery of the car we understand it was running an ‘old’ ECU and 3.2 intakes with EIS. It would not idle properly so he asked Tuthill Porsche, the renowned specialists, to fit 45mm PMOs and ‘Permatune’ ignition was installed. Whilst in their care, they also fixed an oil leak from the crankcase breather, which they did successfully.

Our vendor had the car set up by ‘BS Motorsport’ and they fitted new discs and pads all round with new rear calipers, whilst the front calipers are from the 964 range. The suspension itself is running Boge sport, thicker torsion bar and ARB’s whilst the lightweight ‘Whale Tail’ and bonnet are glass fibre. The wheels are new 16-inch ‘Fuchs’ replicas with new Toyo TR1 tyres.

Further work sanctioned whilst in our vendor’s care, includes retrimming the seats and the interior has enjoyed an ‘RS conversion’ (door and carpet sets). The dramatic paint scheme was finished off, decals added and the roll cage was repainted.

More recently, ‘Redline Tuning’ have completed the final setup and they have confirmed the car now produces 270hp and weighs around 1,050kg. Supplied with an original service book, various invoices and the MOT certificate is valid until March 2018.

This 911 is a very honest, matching-numbers SC that has been prepared as a credible RSR ‘Appreciation’ and represents a viable route into owning a classic Porsche that will turn heads and really deliver in terms of pride of ownership.

In 1961, Lee Lacocca, vice president and general manager of the Ford Motor Company, had a vision. He imagined a car that would seat four people, have bucket seats, a floor mounted shifter, be no more than 180 inches long, weigh less than 2,500 pounds, and sell for less than $2,500.00. His dream became a reality when the Ford Mustang was born. The first generation Mustang was launched in April 1964 with Ford running three advertising campaigns on all three major TV channels across America at the same time. On the first day the car became available, Ford sold 22,000 Mustangs and by the end of the year, nearly half a million Mustangs had found new homes. A range of engines, body styles and extras ensured that the Mustang had a very broad appeal. In 1965 the ‘Mustang GT’ was introduced and featured five dial instruments, thicker roll bars, quick ratio steering, dual exhausts that exited through the rear valance, dual mounted fog lights in the grille, and special lower body side stripes. Another popular option was the ‘Rally Pac’, which added a tachometer and a clock. To this day, the GT models are the most desirable and sought after of all the Mustangs.

smartest Mustangs we have ever seen. During the rebuild, the car was treated to a brand new ‘crated’ Cobra V8 engine whilst the rest of the drivetrain was either reconditioned or replaced with brand new parts.

The interior is superb and is absolutely classic Mustang GT with the 5-Dial dash, the optional Rally-Pac, wood rim steering wheel, chrome dial surrounds and period radio. The seats have been recovered in the correct vinyl and the carpets and headlining are new. On its arrival in the UK, its new owner replaced the automatic gearbox with a manual 5-speed Tremec competition box and competition clutch. In 1965 it was possible to specify a manual gearbox but it was a 3-speed and this new Tremec box totally transforms the car. At the same time, it was fitted with a set of telescopic shock absorbers and treated to a new set of fantastic ‘American Racing’, Torq Thrust magnesium wheels with BF Goodrich Radials. During its restoration, the odometer was replaced and the new one currently indicates 2,281 miles.

This is a very special Mustang and ticks all the boxes. It’s a genuine left-hand drive ‘65 GT, is superbly finished in Rangoon Red with white stripes, has a fresh ‘289’, a classic interior, and the right wheels. In addition, the 5-speed gearbox, uprated clutch, and more modern shock absorbers make it much happier on UK roads. A lovely Mustang and difficult to fault.

When Rolls-Royce launched the Corniche in 1971, the international jet set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. With waiting lists measured in years, these fashionable vehicles changed hands at vast premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables of Mayfair. The Corniche saw Rolls-Royce, for the first time, dispense with the need for a chauffeur and was the first model to offer the new generation of owner-drivers, a rev counter. The Coupé by Mulliner Park Ward wafted to 60mph in 9.8 seconds, powered by the whisper-quiet 6.7-litre V8 engine and it is widely regarded that the success of the Corniche, at a difficult time financially, saved Rolls-Royce for future generations. Of the 1,108 produced between 1971 and 1982, it is believed only 33 are currently on the road with six on SORN, making this important motorcar a rare sight on British highways and there can’t be many in this striking combination of Balmoral Green Metallic with a Tan hide interior.

numerous items including suspension bushes and a braking system overhaul. The odometer currently shows 37,000 miles but it is best to assume that this is in fact 137,000 miles, although the car could easily pass for a much lower mileage judging by its lovely condition.

Seventies Bentleys and Roll-Royce are often overlooked these days, however, this is a rare Corniche in a sparkling colour, with a seductive interior, and appears to have been well cared for. There was a time when doormen at The Dorchester would rush to valetpark your Corniche, and there will be again.

Chassis-CRH14042 was supplied new on 01/01/73 to a Mr. J.P. Cox, and after several years of ownership was subsequently sold to Mr. Frank Kennedy and moved to Zurich in Switzerland before returning to the UK sometime during 1989. The stamped Service Book is in the history file along with several invoices including a recent one for £6,400 from respected Rolls-Royce specialist N. Sandell for

Buying Guide The golden rule for anyone hoping to buy at auction is to thoroughly inspect the lot you are interested in before bidding, as no warranty or guarantee is given with anything that is sold. For this reason the auction centre is open for viewing prior to each Auction (please check times). All bids are final and irrevocable.

Bidder Registration You can bid at auction either in person by attending the sale, by telephone, by leaving a commission bid or live online. To meet current legislative requirements, you will need to provide proof of identification in the form of a passport or driving licence and a recent utility bill as proof of address.

When submitting forms in absentia, please ensure they reach us no later than 48 hours before the auction is due to take place.

How fast will the auctioneer go?

The auctioneer will aim to sell approximately 90 lots of automobilia, watches and lifestyle per hour and 20 vehicles per hour.

Bidding at the sale If you are planning to attend the sale in person, please complete the relevant Bidder Registration Form. On production of this form you will be assigned a paddle number. Please note that entry to the auction is only on presentation of this sale catalogue, which admits two.

Online bidding Silverstone Auctions has partnered with Proxibid. com to allow you to bid live on sale day from anywhere. Registration for internet bidding is done directly on their website. We advise that you register with them at least 48 hours before a sale to allow sufficient time for your registration to be approved.

Using these providers carries an additional buyer’s premium charge of 1% for cars and 3% for automobilia/lifestyle and watches.

Telephone bidding** Should you be unable to attend the auction on sale day, telephone bidding will still allow you to bid live.

On the day of the sale, a member of Silverstone Auctions will contact you, usually a few lots prior to your selected lots and will guide you through the process. It is important that you provide us with alternative contact numbers to ensure that we are able to contact you on the day. You may wish to leave a commission bid to be used in the event that we are unable to contact you. This, however, is entirely optional.

230

The Silverstone Classic Sale 2017

Commission bidding** If you think you might not be contactable on the day of the sale, you may leave with us a commission bid. To submit a commission bid, please complete our Telephone/Commission Bidder Registration form indicating, for each lot you wish to bid on, the maximum amount you are willing to bid up to (excluding commission and VAT). We will execute your bid as low as possible on your behalf. ** There is no charge for the telephone and commission bidding service.

Catalogues Catalogues can be purchased online or by contacting our catalogue subscription department on +44 (0) 1926 691 141. Please ensure that you bring your catalogue to the sale as entry is by catalogue only. Whilst your Silverstone Auctions Catalogue admits two persons to the viewing day(s) and the sale day, please refer to any specific Admission tickets that maybe required to enter the Event. Further copies of the catalogue can be purchased at the Auction.

Warranties All lots are sold on an ‘as seen’ basis. You may wish to bring a competent mechanic with you to inspect any Motor Vehicles on your behalf. The catalogue will describe the lots to the best of our ability on information supplied. You should, however, satisfy yourself as to the condition, age, and integrity of any lot prior to bidding as no warranties whatsoever are given in relation to any lot. Once the auctioneer drops the hammer, a contract is made and you are obligated to proceed with the purchase. It is therefore vital that you are satisfied with the condition of the lot you intend to bid upon before doing so.

Charges Like the vast majority of auctioneers, Silverstone Auctions Limited charge what is known as a buyer’s premium. Our standard buyer’s premium charges are 12.5% of the hammer price on motor vehicles (cars and motorcycles) and 20% of the hammer price for watches, automobila and lifestyle items.

Buyer’s premium is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate on the day of the auction.

They may not show the true condition and colour, (which may be inaccurately reproduced) of the Lot. 5.3 Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for any potential bidder to satisfy themselves as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its originality, authorship, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). No description of a lot carries with it an implication that it is fit for any particular purpose.

5.4 Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer. Lots are sold to the Buyer on an ‘as is’ basis, with all faults and imperfections.

5.5 The actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as its outward appearance suggests. In particular parts may have been replaced or renewed and those parts may not be original or of ‘Satisfactory Quality’.

The inside of a lot may not be visible where, for example, it is covered by upholstery or material, and may not be original or may be damaged, have been damaged or poorly repaired. Given the age of some Lots, no assumption should be made with regard to any aspect of their condition.

5.6 Any person who physically interferes with, scratches or damages the Lot in any way (at, before or after the Auction) will be held liable for the loss so caused.

5.7 The Seller is responsible for delivering the Lot in a presentable and saleable condition. If additional cleaning is required it will be charged for

by SAL to the Seller as an Expense.

5.8 If a Lot is not sold at Auction, SAL will for the next 14 days be entitled exclusively to negotiate a sale of the Lot on terms agreed with the Seller and as Seller’s agent, and if successful will be entitled to charge the Seller’s Commission and Expenses.

5.9.1 The Seller gives SAL the full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot consigned 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 Auction), with indemnity against copyright infringement.

5.9.2 The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of SAL, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, may only do so with the prior written consent of SAL. 5.10 Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are either owned or partly-owned by SAL or an employee of SAL. 6. Alterations and Estimates 6.1 Estimates and descriptions may be amended at SAL’s discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during an Auction.

6.2 The Lot is available for inspection and any potential bidders must form their own opinion in relation to it. They are strongly advised to examine any Lot or have it examined by a specialist or engineer on their behalf before the Auction.

6.3 SAL gives no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Any estimate given, whether written or oral and whether or not printed in any Catalogue, as to the estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at SAL’s sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price.

6.4 SAL shall not be liable to the Seller for any error or misstatement in or omission from the description of any lot in any Catalogue where SAL has:

www.silverstoneauctions.com

6.4.1 been provided with such description by the Seller or any person on his behalf; or 6.4.2 provided the Seller with a copy of such description prior to publication of the Catalogue and neither the Seller nor any person on his behalf has notified SAL in writing within a reasonable time before the Auction of any error or misstatement in or omission from the description.

6.5 SAL has no duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller.

7. Warranty by the Seller 7.1 The Seller warrants to the Buyer and to SAL that: 7.1.1 The Seller is the owner of the Lot or is properly authorised to sell the Lot by the owner, and is able to sell the Lot with full title guarantee free from all encumbrances and third party claims and in particular that there is no outstanding finance affecting the Lot or any taxes due. If the car is subject to finance the amount outstanding must be confirmed prior to consignment and sale.

7.1.2 The description of the Lot in the Catalogue is to the best of the Seller’s knowledge accurate and not misleading. The Seller has notified (or will before the Auction notify) SAL in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition or quality of the Lot and has provided SAL with all such information in the Seller’s possession or control.

7.1.3 The Seller shall compensate SAL and the Buyer in full for all losses, expenses and other costs which are caused by the Seller’s breach of any obligation of the Seller under the Terms.

7.1.4 Where the vehicle is not registered in the UK, the seller shall be responsible for completing the NOVA application within 14 days of the car arriving in the UK and before the vehicle arrives at the auction for sale.

8. Vehicle Registration Numbers 8.1 If the Seller wishes to sell the Motor Vehicle but to retain the right to the registration number of the Motor Vehicle it is the Seller’s Responsibility to notify SAL in writing.

8.2 It shall be the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current vehicle registration number is retained and that a new number is allocated prior to the Motor Vehicle being sold at the Auction whether or not SAL volunteers its services to effect that, and no liability shall attach to SAL in respect to any act or omission as a result.

9. Bidding and Reserves 9.1 Admission to the Auction requires the purchase of a Catalogue which must be presented at the entrance to the Auction. SAL do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and submitted a registration form. Proof of identification will be required in the form of a passport or driver’s licence, together with a recent utility bill showing a bidder’s current address, before the registration process can be completed.

9.2 The Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller, up to the Reserve on the Lot. 9.3 The Seller may place a Reserve on any Lot when he consigns it to the Auction, and once placed it may not be changed without the written consent of SAL. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by SAL in writing.

9.4 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only SAL at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller.

9.5 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, SAL shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue.

9.6 SAL may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that SAL accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve.

10. Commission and Expenses 10.1 SAL shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 5% of the Hammer Price for vehicles and 15% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by SAL in writing (“Seller’s Commission”) plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to SAL. 10.2 The Seller acknowledges SAL’s right to retain the Buyer’s Premium payable by the Buyer.

11. Insurance 11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer.

It is therefore, the responsibility of the Seller to insure the Lot before the hammer falls and the responsibility of the Buyer to insure the Lot after the hammer falls.
