Welcome to the auction

Welcome to our final motorcar auction of 2025 here at the incredible Millbrook Proving Ground; a facility steeped in motoring history even if much of it remains top secret!

A colour long associated with royalty as well as a certain Jimi Hendrix song and Quality Street sweet, Purple –or more specifically Roman Purple – was former Aston Martin proprietor David Brown’s favourite automotive hue. Often seen on his cars, it was also applied to just one of the forty-five DB4 Series IV Vantages made. Entered from a marque collection, the unique Roman Purple machine graces our front cover just as it has done the December 2025 issue of The Automobile magazine.

No less imposing, the 2013 Bentley Mulsanne illustrated on the back cover was originally loaned to the Royal Household and used by the then Prince of Wales (now HRH King Charles III) for a host of official engagements. Warranted to have covered a mere 34,000 miles it remains in splendid condition.

Owned by Formula 1 World Champion Phil Hill for two decades, the 1924 Rolls-Royce Springfield 40/50hp Silver Ghost ‘Piccadilly Roadster’ makes for a wonderful counterpoint to the concours quality 1989 Rolls-Royce Corniche II Convertible; proof if any were needed that Rolls-Royce have long excelled at crafting stylish and luxurious soft-tops.

Those who prefer their motoring thrills to be more visceral are spoilt for choice in terms of the 1965-type Lola T70 MKII Spyder, 1935 Singer Nine TT Works Team Car, 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Competition Coupe, 1962 Turner MK2 Race Car, 1966 Ford Mustang Rally Car, c.1924 Star Two Litre ‘Brooklands’ Single-Seater Racing Car and 1972 Volvo 144GL Rally Car; the latter a former winner of the Carrera Copacobana event.

Rarities abound too including the 1920 Stutz Series H Bearcat (arguably America’s first supercar), 1980 BMW 323i Turbo Schnitzer, 1927 Delage DIC Van, 1979 Courier Cadillac ‘Spezial’ Coupe and even a 1942 White M16 Half-Track Multiple Gun Carrier!

Highlights among the twenty-two ‘No Reserve’ cars on offer encompass the 2002 Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG built for F1 winner Tony Brooks, the ultra-rare 1936 Armstrong Siddeley 17hp Foursome Drophead Coupe, charming 1921 Bean 10.9hp Tourer, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ featured 1937 DKW F7 Saloon Cabriolet and 1953 Jowett Jupiter (one of several entries from a deceased estate).

We hope to see you on sale day but if not please accept our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Kind regards

Warranty

H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore, we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description.

Vehicle Identity and Competition History

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

1964 Ford Consul Capri

Entered from a deceased estate No Reserve*

1968 Lotus Elan +2

1

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: DPC 698B MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 237C193659T

Retaining a long run of tax discs issued from 1965 to 1991, an original tax disc holder suggests this 1964 Consul Capri was originally sold by the Pippbrook Garage in Dorking, Surrey, which famously was run by whisky heir and motor racing team owner Rob Walker. We see it remained in Surrey until 1972, before spending the period from 1973 to 1980/81 in West Sussex. From 1977, the first recorded owner was Laurence James Holloway of Fittleworth, near Pulborough. From 1982, it spent several years in Hampshire. Various invoices, mainly for consumables, point to regular maintenance during the 1980s.

In the late 1990s, the Capri had a brush with celebrity when it was used for a photoshoot with Britpop band Theaudience, but in the early 2000s it was photographed looking somewhat tired, seemingly in its original dark Blue-Green paint. Later repainted and shod with 1970s Appliance wheels, by 2012 it had been acquired by the late owner, but restoration did not progress. It has now been off the road for more than 20 years, but is understood to be largely solid with the engine in running order. As such, it promises to be a very rewarding project for recommissioning or light restoration. Additional paperwork includes several MOTs from 1980 to 1997, an original owner’s handbook and an unused Castrol logbook.

Dating from the first full year of production, this desirably early Elan +2 appears in lovely condition, having received some extensive renovation over the past 12 years. While little is known of its early life, it was registered new in Britain and the ‘TU’ registration suggests its first home was in Cheshire. Records show the car was White prior to 1989, when it was repainted in the present Red, and there has been a total of eight recorded keepers. Most notably, it is understood to have been owned by renowned Elan and Europa specialist Spydercars from 2006 to 2021, a firm best-known for its replacement chassis and suspension components.

In 2013, the Elan benefitted from some light mechanical work and trim improvements. The carburettors were stripped and cleaned, the timing was reset and a new ring gear was fitted. Also, various wiring repairs were performed, the doors were adjusted and new inner door insulation was installed, the total cost reaching £2,370. The Elan’s cylinder head was overhauled and reassembled with new parts by Mintro/Padmore Garage for £516 in 2017, but it benefitted most significantly from a new galvanised Spydercars chassis, which was installed in 2018. Visibly in notably nice condition inside, this charming Elan is sold with a history file including MOTs back to 1991 and assorted invoices.

Reg No: BTU 800F MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 500282

1936 Austin Seven AAK Tourer

No Reserve*

Reg No: COM 657

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 258944

Spurred on by the introduction of the horsepower tax in 1921, Sir Herbert Austin began designing a small family car despite opposition from the company’s board due to their being in receivership at the time. Undaunted, he engaged the services of a young draughtsman from the Longbridge plant, eighteen-year-old Stanley Edge, and plans were drawn up in the billiard room of Sir Herbert’s house, Lickey Grange. Initially powered by a sidevalve four-cylinder engine of 696cc with detachable cylinder head, the new model was rated at 7.2 horsepower but was almost immediately enlarged to 747cc and 7.8hp. The early 1930s was a period of significant development, with a longer chassis introduced in 1931 and a four-speed gearbox for the 1933 models, whilst in July 1934, the low-chassis range appeared and synchromesh became a feature.

Understood to be one of 15 ‘AAK’ Tourers left on UK roads, COM 657 has benefited from previous restoration works recorded in the accompanying history file since the late 1980’s. These include an engine overhaul costing in excess of £3,000 by Stuart Jenkins in 2018. Presenting today as a very useable car, starting readily thanks to a recent new 6v battery, this charming and rare example is offered with manuals, spares catalogue, old logbook, photographs, invoices and Swansea V5c.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 350

Under 29,000 miles from new Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: S77 WVH MOT: May 2026

Chassis No: WDB2304672F052389

Introduced at the September 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, the R230-series of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running SL range remained in production for ten years. Arguably the most accomplished two-seater Grand Tourer of its generation, the newcomer offered a blend of performance, ride, handling and refinement that few, if any, rivals could match. It continued the evolution of the outgoing R129 model with a smoother body design, a new peanut-shaped headlamp design and featured a ‘Vario Roof’ retractable hardtop. In 2006, the range received a minor cosmetic update and revised engine options. The SL 350 boasted a 0-60mph time of 7.2 secs and top-speed of 155mph from the 3724cc V6 (241bhp/258lbft) engine. Its replacement, the aluminium-bodied R231, was launched in 2011. Displaying under 29,000 miles from new with 5 former keepers this example is said to present in fabulous condition. In current ownership for over 6 years it has covered under 4,000 miles during this time. Finished in Telurium Silver over a dark blue leather interior, the car comes with the desirable registration number S77 WVH, 2 keys, good service history and original Mercedes-Benz bookpack. We are advised the roof electrics work faultlessly with very minimal wear marks on the interior controls.

1935 MG PA

Estimate: £13,000 - £17,000*

Reg No: RV 7500 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: PA2073

By the 1930s, thanks to accessible pricing and low running costs, Sir William Morris’s little sports cars had proved hugely popular, many being employed for a variety of motor sporting events. Indeed, there was little to rival the Midget, the P Type being launched in March 1934 as a replacement for the J2. At £222, it was claimed to have 100 new and improved features. Available in two- or four-seater guises, the PA’s longer leaf-sprung chassis was stronger and the drum brakes were larger and more powerful. The OHC 847cc engine capacity was more robust and smoother running - the 35bhp at 5600rpm being sufficient to power the lightweight two-seater to a very creditable top speed of 76mph.

This previously restored two-seater has been in the same family ownership for many years and comes with a large history file. Included within the documentation are original buff and green logbooks, assorted invoices dating back to 1966, correspondence back to 1972, starting instructions, a selection of old MOT certificates, a list of known owners from 1956 to 1972 and a Swansea V5 document. Finished in green with green Collingburn leather upholstery, this attractive PA is understood to benefit from a Phoenix crankshaft and comes with a full tonneau cover. With a bill of sale from 2015 showing an agreed price of £30,000 it is offered at a very tempting estimate level today.

1949 Singer Nine 4A Roadster

No Reserve*

Reg No: XVV 344 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: A1570R

Singer and MG were great rivals during the 1930s competing against each other on race circuits, trials and showrooms alike. Vying for sales with the MG T-Series, the Singer Roadster retained what was essentially the same two-door, swept tail silhouette throughout its sixteen year history (1939-1955) albeit with stylistic tweaks along the way. The open four-seater appeared on 6th March 1939 with a lightly tuned version of the larger 1074cc overhead camshaft engine already seen in the Bantam Nine along with its three-speed gearbox. In 1949, the “4A” model was introduced, with a four-speed gearbox, adding better performance across a wider range of speed.

An early example of the rarer and more desirable 4A model, XVV 344 is finished in red over a bespoke cream and red leather interior (spare material is included should there be requirement for any repairs). Imported from Holland at some point, it is understood to have covered just c.16,800 miles since restoration. The vendor, a member of the Singer Owners Club, purchased it six years ago and has carried out cosmetic upgrades including a tonneau and side screens. This charming classic tourer is understood to retain its original engine (A1568R) and chassis (A1568R) and comes with a current Swansea V5c.

1924 Ford Model T pick-up

2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 350

7

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: SV 9134 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 9130498

Adapted throughout its production life for countless roles, arguably one of the most practical adaptations of the Model T was the pickup, making it into a workhorse for tradesmen, farmers, and small businesses alike. This particular example has been lovingly owned and maintained by the enthusiast vendor for the past 25 years. It has been a regular feature at shows and charitable events over the years as well as being used by him for many pleasure drives. It boasts a self-starter system, eliminating the need for traditional hand cranking, a modern convenience in a vintage frame. Whether you’re a collector, enthusiast, or someone who appreciates the charm of early motoring, the Model T is full of character, offering a unique insight into early automotive transport. The car has been used this summer and will be supplied with a green continuation VE60 log book from the 1970s, showing its original registration number was ‘KL 28’ issued in Kent between May 1924 and September 1925, together with a current V5C on its age related number.

No Reserve*

Reg No: KS09 LCN MOT: August 2026

Chassis No: WDB2304582F153636

Finished in Black with Black leather upholstery and carpets, this attractive SL has covered just c.39,900 miles from new. Recently subject to an oil and filter change plus new front brake pads together with refurbishment of the alloy wheels the Mercedes was running well on our recent photography session with the metal folding roof operating correctly. ‘KS09 LCN’ comes to sale with its owner’s wallet, handbooks, printed service history sheets and current MOT to August 2026.

1952 Land Rover 80in

Series One

Entered from a private collection

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: 386 UHW MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 26104193

This is where ‘The Best 4x4 by Far’ started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm and inspired by the wartime Jeep. Aluminium panels meant the bodies did not rust and thanks to an ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the new small truck was possessed of incredible climbing ability. Initially powered by a 1595cc Rover engine, a 2-litre unit was soon adopted.

Built in 1952 but not issued with the Bristol number plate ‘386 UHW’ until October 4th 1963, chassis 26104193 is presumed to have spent the intervening eleven years on secondment to the armed forces. A copy continuation logbook on file shows that the Land Rover belonged to H. Howe & Sons Ltd of Bridge Garage, Bleadon by the early 1970s. Remaining in the South West for much of the next two decades, it was entrusted to Stephen Ogg Engineering of Downton, near Salisbury for a photographically documented body off, chassis up restoration during 1990. Emerging in Desert Sand, the 80-in was subsequently improved by G. Hiscock Esq of Ascot during the late 1990s / early 2000s including a rewire. Registered with The Land Rover Series One Club Ltd, ‘386 UHW’ had belonged to P. Wade of Kent for ten years and been repainted Bronze Green when marque specialist John Brown 4x4 advertised it for sale during summer 2015 as: “A beautiful and original, early 80-in Land Rover. It has a superb, sound chassis and lovely straight bodywork. She is presented to a high standard throughout, with gloss professional paint to all areas”. Acquired by its last keeper for £30,157, the Series I entered the current ownership in July 2018. Sparingly used as part of an impressive multi-marque collection, ‘386 UHW’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Now presenting as an older restoration with a gentle patina, the Landie has lost none of its charm and is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

10 1980 Fiat 124 Sport Spider Abarth Stradale Evocation

Abarth Evocation built with very close attention to detail!

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: ETH 865V MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: 124CS000170030

Looking delightfully racy, this Fiat 124 Spider Abarth Rally evocation was imported as a standard Spider from California where the dry climate contributed to its “rust-free” shell. The vendor subjected it to a meticulous renovation from which it emerged as an accurate tribute to the Abarth Stradale which gave Fiat so much success in rallying from 1973 to 1975. The two-year project was completed in 2019, with significant works including reinforcing the suspension points and re-engineering to incorporate the Abarth intakes, front-suspension tie bars and sump guard. The body – now painted the appropriate Abarth Azzurro Chiaro 480, carries original Abarth badges and interior and exterior door handles. Faithful to Stradale specification, it now features lightened doors and hinges, a fibreglass bonnet and boot lid, and a rear deck-mounted fuel filler. An authentic Abarth hardtop with a new Plexiglas rear screen was also sourced and fitted, but the original soft-top is supplied. The wheels are replica Cromodora CD30 13in alloys with Toyo Triple R tyres. Now with twin 44 IDF Webers, other engine upgrades include a balanced bottom-end, forged con-rods, +0.040in pistons, high-lift cams, a gas-flowed head and alloy vernier pulleys. Further features include an enlarged sump, a restored radiator, electronic ignition and a lightened flywheel. When dyno-tested, it produced 151bhp. The suspension has been restored with an upgraded front anti-roll bar, Eibach springs and Spax adjustable shock absorbers, and the brakes have been refurbished with lightweight Wilwood four-pot callipers and Mintex pads at the front and standard discs with EBC pads at the rear. The 131 Abarth gearbox was overhauled, and the rear axle was refreshed with new bearings and a Torsten-type 70 per cent. limited-slip differential. The interior contains OMP bucket seats and a Fiat factory roll bar. The whole process was photographically documented, and since completion the 124 has performed very creditably in a number of hill-climbs. It has the potential to be a great historic rally car, and is sold with invoices exceeding £40,000.

The W110 ‘Fintail’ was introduced with the 190c and 190Dc in April, 1961. The body derived from the W111 series but with a 145mm shorter nose and rounded headlights. The interior layout and dimensions were also identical to the W111 220b but with fewer options such as fixed back seats and bakelite trim dashboard. Because the 190c and 190Dc were basically a W111 220b with a shorter front, they offered similar interior and luggage space as the W111 series but with smaller more fuel efficient engines including a choice of four-cylinder petrol or diesels of 1.9 and 2.0-litre capacity. A total of 356,199 were produced between 1961 and 1965.

This splendid-looking, time-warp petrol 190 is reputed to have been first owned by the German Embassy. Finished in Dark Maroon and trimmed in red hide, it was the subject of a magazine article in September 2003. The c.34,500 miles currently registered is believed, but not warranted, to be correct, and this classic Benz is now offered complete with its original book pack, green log book, collection of invoices, V5C showing four previous keepers and old MoT certificates dating back to 1970 and a currnet MoT into June 2026.

Volvo’s saloons were capable rally cars and the 144 (the 140 series’ four-door saloon) was no exception. Notable endeavours included the 1968 London-Sydney Rally and José Araujo and John Batley’s entry in the 1970 London-Mexico World Cup Rally. ‘HAR 957L’ had a quiet life at first, being sold through the Park Road Garage in Bedford in 1973 to an Italian ice-cream seller, to be used for his summer holidays in Italy. When the Italian died in c.1999, the Volvo was offered back to the Park Road Garage having covered 60,000 miles.

The present owner acquired it in 2009, becoming only the fourth keeper, and considered it perfect for his own rallying ambitions. The car was stripped down and thoroughly lightened, with all the glass and interior removed. Upgrades included a GT dash, a full rollcage, new coil springs and Bilstein shock absorbers, uprated brakes and larger-diameter 1980s Volvo wheels. The car was entered in the month-long 2010 Carrera Copacabana rally and proceeded to be the Winner! It was one of only seven finishers in the challenging drive from Argentina to Brazil, traversing Chile, Peru and Bolivia. Following its victory, the Volvo has seen little action and remains in excellent order, and is offered with a history file which contains the ownership history, MOTs back to 2000, and much documentation from the Copacabana rally.

The first incarnation of the MGB built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine.

Owned by the vendor for the past 42 years, this desirable, early pull handle MG B is finished resplendently in Iris blue with navy blue interior and pleasingly retains steel wheels as opposed to the more common wires worn by most survivors. Appearing in good order throughout and starting readily at the time of consignment, it was lovingly restored by the vendor in the late 1980s / 1990s and has been routinely maintained throughout his ownership. An Oselli stainless steel exhaust adds to the car’s sporty appeal (2024 invoice on file for over £600) and an invoice from 2024 records attention to the rear shock absorbers which have been replaced along with the ‘rubbers and the bushes’. A digital rev counter and speedometer are fitted although we understand the originals have been retained. Benefiting from overdrive and electronic ignition with a mohair hood and vinyl tonneau cover, the radiator has been recored using the original header and base whilst the original seats have been re-trimmed in dark blue leather with light blue piping. An attractive example offered with some assorted spare parts and a history file including assorted invoices, old MOT certificates dating back to 2006, paperwork back to 1983 and Swansea V5C document.

Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche’s iconic 911 allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor – a lighter / stiffer bodyshell, better suspension / brakes, four-valve cylinder heads and a superior HVAC system – to more classic styling. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8-litre engine (rated at 350bhp/295lbft), sports exhaust, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19-inch wheels as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 182mph, it soon became a driver’s favourite. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991, examples of 997 cars are becoming increasingly collectible.

This Gen 1 997 in desirable Carrara 4S guise with Tiptronic transmission has covered c.103,000 miles from new. Finished in Basalt Black with a Cocoa leather interior, it is offered with Swansea V5c, owners wallet, handbooks and service book. In 2022 the car was subject of a Category S insurance incident (damaged but repairable) which the insurers decided not to repair, however, we are advised the necessary work was completed at Wisbech MOT Centre by a Porsche specialist at a cost of c.£6,000. Photographic evidence of these repairs is shown in the images.

Finished in the regal combination of Midnight Blue Metallic with Parchment leather upholstery, chassis SCAZS00A1LCH31642 was supplied new by S.P. Broughton & Co Ltd of Cheltenham. First registered as ‘G83 XAD’ on January 24th 1990, the Rolls-Royce has worn a variety of personalised number plates over the years. Acquired by its last registered keeper during 2005, the Silver Spirit II passed a MOT test the following September at 74,688 miles. Treated to thousands of pounds worth of recommissioning earlier this year following a period of dry storage, the luxury saloon had attention paid to its rear suspension (shock absorbers, spheres), electric windows and power seats not to mention a thorough service. Happy to warrant the 76,000 or so miles shown on the odometer, the vendor highlights the presence of various stickers from specialist RR&B Garages not to mention a factory replacement exhaust system and Cooper tyres as proof that the car has been well looked after in the past. Pleasingly retaining the vast majority of its Crewe-applied paintwork, the Rolls-Royce further benefits from a notably well preserved (and inviting) interior. The underside too bespeaks a car which has been kept garaged. Starting readily upon inspection, this rare and handsome Spirit II is offered for sale with original book pack, warranty document, owner’s handbook, Broughtons leather keyfob, tool kit, MOT certificate valid until June 2026 and sundry paperwork.

Reg No: FVG 634 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: E3SA933R

Despatched on June 24th, 1953, ‘FVG 634’ was registered in Norwich but its first five owners were all around Birmingham. Alfred Edward Abraham of Kings Norton owned it from August, 1953, to June, 1962, when KD Motor Service of Aston took it in and sold it that October to Clifford Ventris-Field of Ward End. It was powder Blue when, after two more owners, Jowett Car Club member Clive Jackman bought it in 1973 “in a sorry state but driveable – just.” Unable to restore it, it lived at his parents’ house until 1985, when he gave it to a builder friend who then sold it to a mechanic.

Between 1999 and 2001, the mechanic co-ordinated a mechanical restoration, overhauling the gearbox, rear axle, brakes and steering and entrusting the engine work to specialists. Despite removing the body and investing in several new panels, he sold the Jowett on the understanding that the bodywork restoration required completion. Though the project stalled, it is now assembled and painted with only minor fitting left to be done, along with mechanical recommissioning. The Jowett boasts an impressive history file including the 1953 buff logbook, original maintenance manuals and parts lists, Pitman’s Book of the Javelin & Jupiter, a before-restoration photograph from 1984 and several pictures and invoices from the 1999-2002 renovation.

Launched in 1963, the S-type was marketed as more of an ‘executive’ car than its MkII sibling. Boasting notably superior ride and handling characteristics thanks to the adoption of the independent rear suspension, it also enjoyed a more spacious interior.

Manufactured in May 1965, HKB 444D was supplied new to the home market, via Henlys of Manchester. Fitted with the 3781cc straight-six engine and desirable manual transmission with overdrive, it is finished in silver with red leather interior and retains its original woodwork. Previously exported to California, it was repatriated in 1989 and acquired by a previous owner. Covering just c.3,000 miles throughout his seventeen-year ownership, it passed to the next owner in 2007 with c.48,000 miles recorded. Extensively improved and maintained by him with over £31,500 worth of expenditure documented in the history file, notable expenses included a bare metal repaint in 2015, further bodywork improvements in 2021, an engine overhaul, renovated overdrive, new stainless steel exhaust, retrimmed leather seating and electronic ignition conversion. Since purchase, the vendor has toured around Devon and covered over 3,000 trouble free miles with work on the bushes ensuring a plush ride. Reluctantly offered to sale due to the vendor chasing another classic motorcar, with a large history file including a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, assorted MOTs back to the early 1990s, numerous invoices, photographs of the repaint, MOT to April 2026 and V5c document.

The Capri Mk III was referred to internally as “Project Carla”, and although little more than an update of the Capri II, it was often referred to as the Mk III. The first cars were available in March 1978, and sold very well initially. Subtle styling changes included the bonnet’s leading edge being pulled down over the top of the headlamps, making the appearance more aggressive. Introduced in November 1984, the special edition Capri Laser featured a six-gauge dashboard, tinted glass, tailgate-mounted spoiler, leathertrimmed gear lever / steering wheel, body coloured grille / door mirrors, RS alloys, unique graphics, Black-painted bumpers and Truro cloth upholstery. Available with a choice of 1.6-litre or 2-litre SOHC four-cylinder engines allied to either five-speed manual or automatic transmission. The very last Capri Laser rolled off the production line at Ford’s Cologne, West Germany plant during November 1986. This manual 1.6-litre Laser has had just 1 former keeper from new and been subject to a professional photographically documented rotisserie restoration of the bodywork and paintwork along with an engine and gearbox overhaul. In addition, the car has received a new exhaust, new suspension bushes, new hoses and been fully serviced. This very smart example is finished in its original hue of Laquer Red with Grey interior, it currently registers some 80,300 miles and is offered with history file and current V5c document.

Introduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar’s immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine, the Jaguar was capable of nearly 150mph. Available in open two-seater, Fixed-Head two-seater and 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the bulk of Series II production, with the fixed-head two-seater being the rarest of the three variants.

Chassis number ‘1R20131’ is one of just 1,071 ‘home market’ Series II Fixed Head Coupes manufactured, and is understood to be the fourth S2 off the production line in 1969. First registered on 28 January 1969, the E-Type has been in long-term ownership from 2006 until 2025, only seeing very sparing use, covering just over 2,000 miles during this time. Despite limited mileage, the car has been regularly serviced and maintained by specialists, most recently in April 2024 by Chariots Engineering of Clayhill. That service included attention to the brakes and clutch system, new tyres and tubes, and other essential maintenance.

The car also underwent a comprehensive cosmetic refresh in the early part of this year, with new chrome wire wheels, a replacement front bumper, and light refurbishment of the Black leather interior. A recent full repaint brought the paintwork up to scratch, with the body panels - including the doors and bonnet – appearing to fit cleanly and evenly. The Black leather seats and carpets show light age, with a period-correct wood-rimmed steering wheel and a modern Alpine stereo add a tasteful blend of vintage charm and modern convenience. With just ten registered keepers since new and accompanied by its original handbook, a folder of invoices, historic MOTs, and a photographic record of bodywork repairs dating back to 2006. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or seeking a classic you can actually enjoy on the open road, this early Series 2 FHC offers an enticing blend of style, performance, and usability - making it a compelling entry into the world of true British motoring legends.

Last of the ‘old school’ Bentley saloons with its roots in the pre-Volkswagen era, the Arnage T was revised for a final time ahead of the 2007 model year. A fitting swansong, these ‘last-of-the-line’ cars were praised by the contemporary motoring press for the enhanced driving experience they offered. Updated with a new roller tappet system and lower inertia twin turbochargers, the venerable 6761cc pushrod OHV V8 engine developed a faintly ridiculous 500bhp and 738lbft of torque. However, it was the adoption of ZF’s advanced 5HP30 six-speed automatic gearbox with state-of-the-art computer management and three transmission modes (Drive, Sport and Semi-Auto) which proved the real game changer. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and 179mph, the ‘last-of-the-line’ Arnage T models did not want for performance! Of the mere ninety-four cars built during the 2008 model year only fifty-three were to right-hand drive specification.

Finished in the striking combination of Silver Tempest Metallic with Black leather upholstery, this notably late Arnage T was built to the more luxurious Mulliner II specification. Sporting a discrete Mulliner badge and vent to each front wing, ‘Winged B’ motifs to all four headrests and door cappings, quilted leather upholstery, 19-inch alloy wheels and quad exhaust pipes, it also boasts an electric tilt / slide sunroof, front / rear heated seats, park distance control (with rear view camera) and an uprated infotainment system. Supplied via Bentley Glasgow, the Arnage T has had three former keepers and covered just 36,600 miles from new. Spanning two books, twelve stamps attest to services at 7,815, 9,385, 13,066, 15,277, 19,042, 21,524, 24,641, 30,029, 30,981, 33,147, 34,394 and 36,040 miles. Corresponding invoices on file run into five figures with the most recent bout of maintenance costing £3,595.83 (new rear discs / pads, handbrake shoes, fresh batteries and waxoyling etc). Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, this decidedly rare ‘last-of-the-line’ Arnage T is offered for sale with handbooks, touring kit, two keys and MOT certificate valid until November 2026.

1935 Singer Nine TT Team Car

1 of 4 Works Singer Le Mans Entries

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000*

Reg No: AVC 482

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 62797

In 1935, Singer decided to focus its racing efforts on creating a radical 9hp design with which to contest the Ards Tourist Trophy. The Irish event’s ban on supercharged entries and intricate handicapping system made it particularly attractive to their Works Manager Stanley Barnes but he remained committed to the Le Mans 24-hours too. Road registered as ‘AVC 481’, ‘AVC 482’, ‘AVC 483’ and ‘AVC 484’, the new Singer Nine TT Team Cars utilised a bespoke chassis frame equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, heavy-duty Andre Hartford friction shock absorbers, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and an underslung semi-floating rear axle. Powered by the marque’s jewel-like 972cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed close-ratio manual transmission, the quartet were reputedly capable of over 100mph.

Stanley Barnes took all four ‘AVC’ cars to France for the June 15th-16th 1935 Le Mans 24-hours (though, ‘AVC 484’ only went as a spare). Allocated ‘AVC 482’, Roddie H. Baker and Norman Black were running strongly in the sub 1.5-litre class until starter motor issues forced their retirement at 8am on Sunday 16th June. ‘AVC 481’ withdrew too leaving Stanley Barnes and Alf Langley to nurse an ailing ‘AVC 483’ to 16th place overall and 2nd-in-class behind the MG K3 of Philippe Maillard-Brune and Charles Druck. Just over a month later, three TT Team Cars entered the LCC Relay Race at Brooklands on July 20th 1935. By averaging 85.13mph over 90 laps, the Singers not only won the race outright but also lifted the MG Challenge Trophy and Wakefield Cup. Spirits were thus understandably high ahead of the September 7th 1935 Tourist Trophy race with Barnes opting to run all four TT Team Cars; the first and last time that the quartet would compete together. Failing scrutineering due to the use of a non-production steering gear layout, the Works machines were hurriedly modified by the marque’s Belfast agent and cleared to race.

Once the event got under way, S.C.H. ‘Sammy’ Davis led the Singer charge aboard ‘AVC 484’ managing to overtake F.H. Davis’s FIAT (the only class rival keeping pace) via a judicious over rev. However, defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory when steering gear failure afflicted three of the ‘AVC’ cars at the same corner, Bradshaw’s Brae. The fourth – ‘AVC 481’ - was judiciously withdrawn on safety grounds. Thankfully none of the drivers were injured and eager to minimise the ensuing negative publicity, Singer closed its Competition Department at the end of the season; a move which prompted Stanley Barnes to begin working for Autosports Ltd full-time. A joint venture between the Barnes brothers, the North Worcestershire-based Autosports outfit wasted little time in purchasing

the four TT Team Cars together with their associated spares. Enjoying a degree of tacit Works support, the Barnes brothers continued to campaign the rejuvenated ‘AVC’ racers at a variety of high-profile meetings.

‘AVC 482’ returned to active competition before any of its siblings tackling the Shelsey Walsh hillclimb just weeks after the TT (albeit with a crude replacement body). Regaining its streamlined alligator tail for three further assaults on the Le Mans 24-hours, the diminutive sports racer was piloted by Freddie de Clifford / Roy Eccles (1937), John D. Barnes / Thomas H. Wisdom (1938) and Thomas Arhcie C. Scott / Thomas H. Wisdom (1939). Although, it never took the chequered flag at La Sarthe there are very few cars which can claim to have contested four Le Mans 24 hours! Dusted off after World War Two, the Singer became a privateer entrant at club level events. Lining up alongside Archie Scott Brown and his tuned MG TD for the second ever motor race at Snetterton on April 26th 1952, ‘AVC 482’ was unable to prevent the future Lister Works driver from recording his maiden victory.

Extensively restored prior to entering the current family ownership some thirty years ago, the ex-Works Singer is believed to pleasingly retain its original engine block and gearbox. Campaigned sporadically at the likes of Oulton Park, ‘AVC 482’ has otherwise enjoyed a peaceful retirement. Potentially eligible for some of the world’s most prestigious historic race meetings, the Nine possesses a current V5C Registration Document and could thus be used on the road too. Offered for sale with a history file and large spares package, it is the first ‘AVC’ car to come to open market since we sold ‘AVC 484’ for £135,000 during 2010.

The first thousand In Vogues were all two-doors in Vogue Blue. In 1982, the four-doors launched, being the first Range Rovers supplied with automatic gearboxes. Only in Nevada Gold and Sierra Silver, and interior could include such delights as American walnut trim, a Philips AC 807 radio-cassette player and an insulated coolbox. This Nevada Gold example survives largely to factory specification, save for the period addition of Alpinair air-conditioning, which was fitted in 1984 and required the relocation of the instruments. Originally registered ‘FNO 793Y’ in Chelmsford, it has had nine recorded keepers from new, reputedly spending the period 1990 to 2019 with a single owner who kept it in South Africa.

Benefiting from a bodywork restoration performed during 2021 by James William Classics Ltd., it included replacing the rear body crossmember, sill body mounts, right-hand sill assembly and the upper tailgate. New A- and B-pillar bases were installed and the footwells were repaired, and the car was undersealed and repainted where necessary. Some light engine work was completed, involving a service and a new exhaust system. Following the work, which totalled £4,145, the Range Rover was MOTed in 2022 and passed with no advisories. With its enviable specification and extreme scarcity, this In Vogue fully deserves a spot in any collection of Range Rovers or other “youngtimers”, and has its original build card.

Production continued until 1996 by which time the final series ‘Celebration’ cars had arrived. Boasting a unique specification in recognition of Jaguar’s 60th Anniversary, they sported chromed rear view mirrors and headlight surrounds; diamond-cut alloy wheels; wood trim for the steering wheel and gearlever; and seats featuring embossed Jaguar ‘leapers’ and contrasting piping.

First registered on March 1st 1996, via Lancaster Jaguar of Sevenoaks, Kent, this desirable Celebration model is finished in Carnival Red with a contrasting Cream leather interior. Showing just c.29,800 miles on the odometer, believed correct, it had previously been purchased from new by a Jaguar collector. Presenting a great opportunity for a collector or enthusiast ‘N458 AKP’ has a current MoT certificate valid until the 24th September 2026, with ‘no advisories’, and it’s worth noting that since 2005, there have only been 2 years where there have been any advisories on the previous MOTs. Unfortunately, the history file has been mislaid, but a V5C document accompanies the car showing one former registered keeper. This final year model is only now unexpectedly offered for sale as the vendor has lost his storage for the Jaguar.

Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9.1 seconds and 127mph, a mere 1,258 are understood to have been completed to right-hand drive, UK market specification. Completed to order number 0053769761, chassis WDB1070452A026409 was finished in Thistle Green Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a Black soft-top roof. Riding on fifteen-hole alloy wheels, its impressive specification included a limited-slip differential, cruise control, electric windows and headlamp wash/ wipe. First registered in Middlesex on March 2nd 1981 (or so its ‘LMD 177W’ number plate would imply), the Mercedes-Benz was acquired by its current (sixth) registered keeper during August 2005. The accompanying service booklet contains a mixture of main dealer and specialist entries plus several references to a speedometer change at 57,843 miles. The 380SL’s current odometer reading stands at circa 14,000 miles. As such, the car is believed but not warranted to have covered some 72,000 miles from new. Starting readily upon inspection, ‘LMD 177W’ pleasingly retains its factory-fitted hardtop and much of its original book pack. The soft-top has no major rips or tears but the plastic windows have become opaque and brittle in places. Although eligible for MOT exemption, the Mercedes-Benz is expected to possess a valid certificate by the time of sale.

Reg No: DY 7777 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 6022919

This Lynx’s known history begins in 1957, when it was owned by Charles Oatway of Cheltenham. In 1960, it passed to Melvin Gutteridge, but it appears to have fallen out of use after 1965. It resurfaced in 1999 needing full restoration and the engine and gearbox were overhauled before a new owner took over in 2006. The next stages included powder-coating the chassis, renewing some frame timbers with seasoned ash, stripping and cleaning the other mechanical assemblies, rewiring the electrics, overhauling the instruments and replating the chrome. It was also completely repainted and retrimmed. The vendor bought ‘DY 7777’ in 2009 and promptly joined the VSCC, obtaining an Eligibility Document which confirmed that the crankcase, gearbox case, back axle case, front axle and chassis were original components, and the various chassis and engine ancillaries inspected were to standard specification. Subsequently, it has been enjoyed regularly at both local and national events.

Notable maintenance has included a cylinder head overhaul in 2015 which involved skimming it and performing an unleaded conversion, and in 2020 the fuel system received some attention. This delightful Riley is offered with full weather equipment plus a large history file including the 1957 buff logbook, the VSCC Eligibility Document, MOTs from the 1960s and more recent years, assorted invoices and some maintenance manuals.

The archetypal grand tourer, the Mercedes SL boasts a pedigree that few grand tourers can match. The sixth-generation Mercedes SL convertible was launched in 2012 and built almost entirely of lightweight aluminium with a magnesium metal folding roof, a first for a volume production Mercedes meaning the R231 iteration of the SL-class was 25 per cent lighter than its all-steel predecessor, and more rigid. There were also significant weight reductions with the folding roof, seats, suspension and running gear. The engine line-up consists of five options, including two AMG models, ranging from just north of 300 brake horsepower to 621 brake horsepower on the range topping models. The 0-62mph sprint can be covered in as little as 4.3 seconds by the V8 bi-turbo, while the naturally aspirated V6 will achieve it in 5.9, still an extremely competent performance figure for an ‘entry-level’ model.

First UK registed on 4th March 2014, this example boasts an impressive factory specification including a full glass panoramic roof, airscarf, Bi-Xenon headlights and parktronic. Purchased by the current owner in June 2024, it bears the cherished registration number Y9 VYY and has completed c.64,000 miles from new having spent a significant portion of its life in and around Cheshire where it was always servied at main Mercedes-Benz dealers as noted in the impressive history file. Described as in a very good cosmetic and mechanical condition, it is supplied with the original Mercedes-Benz bookpack and a current Swansea V5c.

Introduced in 1937, the DKW F7 put contemporary British designs to shame with its sophisticated backbone chassis, all-round independent suspension and front-wheel drive. Powered by a two-cylinder, two-stroke engine in either 584cc or 692cc capacities allied to three-speed manual transmission, the compact four-seater was capable of 50mph plus. Available as a Saloon, Saloon Cabriolet (with fixed sides) or De Luxe Cabriolet, the fourseater was well-proportioned despite its compact dimensions. Achieving some 80,000 sales during its two-year production life, the DKW F7 helped fund parent company Auto Union’s grand prix ambitions.

Part of an expansive private collection for many years, this particular example – chassis 3068444 – is to left-hand drive specification and fitted with the larger 692cc engine. Long rumoured to have been bodied by the British coachbuilder Weymann as a prototype for DKW to evaluate, its faux leather exterior panelling is affixed to a timber frame. Finished in two-tone Brown with Beige cloth upholstery (a suitably Art Deco combination), ‘YSU 868’ has self-evidently been the subject of past restoration work. Featured in a wealth of film and television productions, the DKW F7 has also been exhibited at various shows where it has prompted much conversation. An intriguing and appealing pre-WW2 car.

1999 Rover Mini Cooper

1967 Daimler V8 250

Chassis No: SAXXNNAZEXD169874

Introduced in October 1996, the Mk7 or MPi Mini was the final evolution of Alec Issigonis’ iconic design. Boasting a front-mounted radiator, driver’s airbag, taller final drive ratio, multipoint fuel injection and side-impact door bars, it proved a fitting swansong for the model. The ‘Sports pack’, priced around £800, became available with the MPi in 1996 being one of Rover’s many accessory options for standard Minis and Mini Coopers. Its features included: 13” x 6” Sports-style Minilite alloy wheels, body-coloured extended wheel arches, a chrome tailpipe finisher, Koni shock absorbers, reinforced rear subframe, spot lamps (with a further switch added to the lower dash rail panel) and subsidiary oil temperature and battery (voltage) gauges.

Finished in a classic colour combination of Tahiti Blue with Old English White bonnet stripes and roof over a cream leather interior this Cooper has been with the vendor for almost 8 years. Fitted with the desirable Sports pack option from new, it now registers c.26,000 miles having been garage stored for over 7 years with frequent maintenance and MOTs each year without a single failure in the vendor’s possession. Said to be in fine mechanical and cosmetic condition, it is offered with the cherished registration number 20 ECG and a large history file including a current Swansea V5c.

Recently subject to a complete engine overhaul costing in excess of £20,000

Estimate: £10,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: PUC 156F MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: P1K 1474BW

Finished in the beautiful combination of Opalescent Silver Blue with a Dark Blue interior, this well cared-for and tastefully presented V8 250 appears in excellent order following a comprehensive engine and gearbox overhaul performed during 2022. The work was entrusted to Geoff Page Racing, a specialist well-known for its preparation of all manner of historic racing cars from the 1960s onwards, including Formula One, Can-Am, Saloon Car and Group B rally machinery.

Geoff Page Racing stripped the engine and, after steam-cleaning and bead-blasting many of the parts, performed machining work including refacing the block up to +0.030in, reboring the cylinders, regrinding the crank and recutting the valves. The engine was then reassembled with new +0.20in pistons, valves, valve guides and springs, and +0.010in main bearings. The treatment of the gearbox was similarly thorough, and the total spent with Geoff Page Racing came to £23,235. Since 2023, the Daimler has covered less than 500 miles, and despite being exempt from testing has been MOTed annually. Its current certificate shows no advisories and is valid until June, 2026. The car is also offered with the V5C, several invoices from Geoff Page Racing and performance car specialist Alan Collins, and photographs showing the bottom-end mid-assembly and welding repairs near one wheel arch.

1991 Audi Quattro 20V

Just 2 owners and 39,500 miles from new

Estimate: £65,000 - £75,000*

Reg No: H199 VWY MOT: October 2026

Chassis No: WAUZZZ85ZMA000151

Back in 1991 when this Audi Quattro 20V was built, the model was already legendary thanks to its early 1980s dominance of the competitive rally scene. Hannu Mikkola, Stig Blomqvist, Walter Röhrl and others delivered two World Rally Championship (WRC) wins and 23 major rally victories, and ensured posters of this motoring icon would adorn teenage boys’ bedrooms throughout the 1980s and ‘90s.

The road-going model, these days often known as the Ur (or ‘original’) Quattro, had by 1991 morphed into its most potent form. The 2,226cc inline five-cylinder double overhead cam ‘RR’ engine had gained four valves per cylinder in 1989, generating a healthy 217hp. The Quattro’s famous continuous four-wheel drive, five-speed transaxle and independent front and rear suspension helped put this power down on the road, enabling a top speed of 143mph and 0-60mph in a blistering 6.5 seconds. Even the turbo, once a weakness, had been uprated with a water-cooled version to improve reliability.

One of just 295 RHD UK models, this Quattro 20V in metallic Pearl White was first registered on 28th March 1991 to its first owner, a professor in Yorkshire. One of the final original Quattros (the last left the factory in May 1991), it was supplied by Trust Motors in Leeds who also carried out the first few services. The car was subsequently serviced annually by Independent VW-Audi Centre until 2016 at 32,221 miles, then in August 2019 at 32,252. Following acquisition by the vendor in 2019 from the original owner, the timing belt was replaced in 2020 along with the alternator and PAS belts at 32,695 miles. In 2023 the car saw little use being displayed at the Grampian Transport Museum from end of March to end of September. The spark plugs were replaced in May 2024, whilst that July the radiator and bobbins were replaced. The last recorded service work was completed on 13 October 2025 with an oil and filter change being carried out at 39,427 miles.

The paint and bodywork are both described by the vendor as being in excellent condition, and all original decals - from side pinstriping to the iconic Audi roundels on the doorsremain seemingly untouched. The white spoke alloys wheels, including a full-size spare, also remain in remarkable condition. Inside, the car is a time warp. The silver-grey leather seats, orange LCD dash and Pioneer stereo are all very reminiscent of the era and the vendor tells us it is all in excellent condition.

With values of Ur-Quattros having soared in recent years, the chance to buy a low mileage, original, metallic Pearl White, 20V with just 1 previous owner and superb provenance

is an extraordinary prospect, and one that will attract much attention. The car will be accompanied by its history consisting of 2 box files (pre-2019 history) plus 1 document folder (post 2019 servicing etc), plus the original owners manual/handbook. A summary of the entire service history (with dates & mileages) will also be present for easy reference. In addition, the following items are included; original sales invoice, 2 sets of keys, indoor car cover tailor made to fit by Specialised Covers, CTEK battery conditioner/trickle charger (in footwell behind passenger seat, with connection to battery, IMG 3981), full size spare wheel, original and often missing cigarette lighter, spare set of Autostyle floor mats (the mats in the footwells are original Audi mats), 2 boxes of magazines featuring articles on the Quattro, a pair of reconditioned and unused front brake callipers, a new/unused brake system accumulator sphere and a serviceable spare radiator (pressure tested). We are informed the air-con system is not currently operational and the compressor is not connected via the drive belt. A current MOT to October 2026 accompanies the car.

1963 Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide

Comprehensively restored by Aston Martin Works in the 1980s

Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000*

Reg No: KGJ 364A MOT: Exempt

31

Chassis No: LR/127/R

Chassis LR/127/R was originally registered ‘9339 UK’ and finished in Dubonnet paint with an interior trimmed in Connolly VM.3234 Fawn hide, with equipment including a Motorola 808 radio. Delivered through the agent C. Williams on March 15th, 1963, to J. Hudson & Co. (Whistles) Ltd. of Barr Street, Hockley, Birmingham, it appears to have led an interesting early life. Founded in 1870, Joseph Hudson’s business became a major manufacturer of all types of whistles, including for the police, armed forces, and sporting events such as the Olympics. The Lagonda would have been for Joseph’s grandson Leon Clifford Hudson, who became Managing Director in 1949. Seemingly a keen touring motorist, it was ordered with non-standard equipment including a speaker on the driver’s side, a map pocket on the passenger’s side, and an aneroid barometer and altimeter on the glovebox lid. He also specified the deletion of the footrests. To make touring even more enjoyable, in 1964 he returned the Lagonda to Aston Martin so it could be fitted with a plug for an electric kettle!

It appears it was still the 1960s when the Rapide was passed to its next owner, one Mrs. Meynell of Hoar Cross, Burton-on-Trent. Her family had a long association with Hoar Cross, traceable to the purchase of the manor in 1793 by “Father of Fox-Hunting” Hugo Meynell. A replacement engine was fitted in 1966, as documented in the Aston Martin service records which extend to September, 1969, when the Rapide had covered 59,273 miles. In April, 1981, ownership passed to Clive Noble, and in 1987 it was bought by Didier Primat (1944-2008), a French billionaire residing in Geneva. The grandson of Marcel Schlumberger, co-founder of the Schlumberger oilfield services company, he became a director in 1988.

Primat immediately presented the Lagonda to the Aston Martin Ltd. Service Department for extensive restoration, which included a cylinder head overhaul with new valves, guides and springs, a gearbox overhaul with the torque converter renewed, and further refurbishment of the brakes and suspension. The interior was refurbished with the woodwork reveneered and the headlining and upholstery renewed. Primat opted for Tan Connolly VM.846 hide, with the carpets in Fawn with Tan leather edges. The body was stripped to the bare metal, restored and repainted in the attractive Old English Pewter it still wears. All the work was photographically documented.

LR/127/R remained with Primat until March, 1999, when it was consigned into the Christie’s Geneva sale and bought by marque specialist R. S. Williams on behalf of an enthusiastic Belgian collector. It remained in the collection until 2022, and upon being sold the owner

said: “The car was only used to drive handicapped children for Rotary and Lions to a Flemish castle and to the seaside twice a year. It was not used more because I loved it so much and thought it was my nicest car so there should be no accident.”

The Rapide was recommissioned in 2021 by Vantage Engineering and made England home again with its new owner. Sadly, the years abroad resulted in it losing its original registration, hence it acquired the age-related ‘KGJ 364A’. In 2023, it was taken to marque specialist Edition 13 Ltd. to be brought up to an even higher standard, receiving £15,000 worth of work. This included the front suspension being stripped, sandblasted, powder-coated and reassembled with all-new bushings and bearings, a general service, new steering rack gaiters, welding repairs to both rear wheel arches, window motor refurbishment, the renewal of the brake master cylinder seals and rewiring of the radio. Consequently, LR/127/R now appears as a very fine example of Lagonda’s swansong, and is all the more covetable for seemingly having had no significant use since 1987. It is offered for sale with the current V5C, copies of the original build and service sheets, some MOTs, numerous invoices, the photographic Aston Martin restoration profile, and copies of period advertising, sales and magazine literature, plus a copy of the original maintenance instructions.

32 1959 Jaguar XK150 3.8 Litre Fixed Head Coupé

Subject to a comprehensive, bare chassis restoration costing in excess of £100,000

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000*

Reg No: 169 XWF MOT: February 2026

Chassis No: S824554

The XK150 was the first production Jaguar to be equipped with disc brakes and initially offered in Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe guise, the Roadster following in 1958. By the time production ended in October 1960 to make way for the E-Type, some 4,445 FHCs had been produced, of which just 1,368 were RHD examples.

This original UK right hand drive FHC was subject to a body off ‘no expense spared’ restoration in the early 2010’s and has covered less than 2,000 miles since. As described in a Classic Cars ‘dream drive’ feature on file, it was ‘made by proper engineers with one mind at the helm’. As such the interior is an opulent place to sit with door to door mahogany, finest leather and Wilton carpet. Performance is delivered by the 3.8-litre straight six with D-Type cams and straight port head with fuel feeding through twin 2” SU’s and retardation via four wheel uprated disc brakes. Cooling is aided by a louvred bonnet and large Revotec fan with aluminium header tank. The original Moss box is described as working perfectly along with the overdrive. Further upgrades include twin fuel tanks, Vicarage power steering, large bore exhaust and aluminium and chrome Turrino wire wheels and a chrome boot rack. Following completion of the restoration health reasons meant only a thousand or so miles were covered prior to its purchase at auction by the vendor for over £80k in 2020. Since then, a further £3000 has been spent on annual servicing and MOT maintenance. With current MOT with no advisories to February 2026, it has been serviced in preparation for sale with the relevant invoice for £1300 on file.

Offered with Heritage Certificate, copy of the original buff logbook, V5c document and assorted MOT certificates, it is a fascinating and uniquely improved and upgraded example and yet faithful to the original concept of the era defining Jaguar XK.

2005 Bentley Arnage T Mulliner II

1 of just 817 RHD examples made

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000*

Reg No: SJ05 FEW MOT: May 2026

Chassis No: SCBLF34F66CH11176

Thoroughly revamped for 2002, the Bentley Arnage Series Two gained a stiffened bodyshell, revised suspension, new electronics and a thoroughly reworked version of the Crewe concern’s indomitable 6.75-litre OHV V8. Force-fed by twin Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), the engine also boasted an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Developing some 450bhp and 875Nm when fitted to the sportiest ‘T’ model, it was allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly enabled the luxury express to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and onto 170mph (making it the fastest four-door saloon in the world at the time). The Series Two cars further benefited from more comfortable seats and remained an object lesson in luxury. Only current from 2002 – 2009, just 817 Arnage Ts were built in right-hand drive.

Finished in the handsome combination of Silver Tempest Metallic with Beluga Black leather upholstery, this particular example was built to the more luxurious Mulliner II specification. As such, it sports discrete Mulliner badging, front wing vents, ‘Winged B’ headrest motifs, diamond stitching, quad exhaust pipes and a sunroof etc. Supplied new via Harwoods, the super saloon has been well maintained throughout its life undergoing no fewer than seventeen main dealer and specialist services (the most recent being carried out by Bentley Manchester at 69,900 miles). Additionally, the latest parts invoice on file totals over £2,200 and attests to the fitment of new brake discs / callipers etc. Notably smart, ‘SJ05 FEW’ has previously been magazine featured and pleasingly retains its factory-fitted umbrellas and a functioning sat-nav system. Said to be ‘a delight to drive’, this stylish Bentley is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, service history and MOT certificate valid until May 2026.

2002 Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG

Reg No: LG02 FKR MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: WDC2030652RO35160

Launched in 2001, the Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG proved faster, rarer and subtler than the contemporary BMW M3 (E46). Comprehensively reworked by AMG, the newcomer’s 3.2 litre V6 featured a new crankshaft, conrods, pistons, lightweight camshafts and hardened valve springs. Force-fed via a twin-scroll IHI supercharger, the free-revving powerplant developed some 349bhp / 339lbft. The ride height was lowered by 30mm, the suspension stiffened and the brakes uprated, while the five-speed automatic transmission was recalibrated to shift thirty-five percent faster. Although limited to 155mph, Autocar found the super saloon capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds (though, 180mph was rumoured to be possible if the relevant electrics were disabled). Just 326 C32 AMG Saloons are thought to have been supplied new to the UK. The accompanying original invoice shows that the late Tony Brooks received a ‘special discount’ of some €9,000 when ordering chassis 035160 direct from the factory; a measure perhaps of the respect he still commanded some forty-one years after hanging up his helmet. Finished in Brilliant Silver with Anthracite leather upholstery, his special order C32 AMG boasted a sunroof, air-conditioning, Xenon headlights, heated windscreen washers, COMAND, ski bag, electric rear window blind and disabled speed limiter (making it rather more comfortable than the Mercedes Gullwing he had campaigned for Rob Walker in period). Main dealer maintained up until 82,414 miles, the last five services were carried out by marque specialist Star-Tec of Surrey with the most recent being at 118,601 (c.2,500 miles ago). Obviously well cared for, the super saloon’s bodywork and paintwork belie its age and mileage. Lacking the flared wheelarches and more aggressive bodykits of subsequent AMGs, the C32’s electrifying performance is deliciously at odds with its understated looks. Retained by Mr Brooks until his death in 2022, the six-time F1 race winner remains the Mercedes-Benz’s only registered keeper. Surely one for the future given its rarity and provenance, ‘LG02 FKR’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, MOT certificate, Internationaler Zulassungsschein and associated paperwork.

1986 Ford Bronco XLT 4x4

Highly original, ‘fully loaded’ and as American as apple pie!

Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: C951 FAH MOT: July 2026

Chassis No: 1FMDU15N4GLA72310

With its angular lines, slab sides, inset rectangular headlights and ‘egg crate’ grille, the third-generation Ford Bronco did not want for on (or off) road presence. As American as apple pie, it graced the big and small screens in the likes of Octopussy, A View to a Kill, No Country for Old Men and Taken 3 as well as appearing in Dallas and The X-Files etc.

According to its accompanying CARFAX report, chassis 1FMDU15N4GLA72310 spent much of its life in California before arriving on these shores seven years ago. Thought to pleasingly retain the vast majority of its factory Colonial White paintwork, the Bronco boasts an enviable specification including the more fuel efficient / potent 302ci EFI V8, four-speed ‘overdrive’ automatic transmission and ‘Preferred Equipment Package 684A’ (air-conditioning, cruise control, ‘Captain’s Chair’ front seats, handling package, power locks / windows, XLT trim and Exterior Protection Group etc). Understood to further benefit from the ‘Free Wheeling Package’ hence its Blue pinstriping / stripe kit, anti-roll bar, Sport instrumentation, simulated leather covered steering wheel and uprated shock absorbers (quad front / heavy-duty rear), the Ford started readily and ran well during our recent photography session with an appealing ‘gurgling drainpipe’ exhaust note. Like the exterior, the Blue velour interior is something of a ‘timewarp’ complete with faux wood veneers and a cavernous centre cubby. Mechanically improved since being UK road registered as ‘C951 FAH’, the five-seater has had attention paid to its exhaust manifold, suspension, power steering, Pitman arm, thermostat and brake pipes etc. Garnering considerably more attention than the vendor’s Ferraris, he has nevertheless decided to part with the Bronco because it sometimes feels a little too big for the cobbled streets of his medieval home town. A slice of pure 1980s Americana, this imposing Bronco will be eligible for ULEZ, MOT and road fund licence exemption next year. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, CARFAX report, numerous invoices and MOT certificate valid until July 2026.

1989 Rolls-Royce Corniche II

Convertible

Concours example, 33,000 miles and essentially one owner from new

Estimate: £110,000 - £130,000*

Reg No: G43 SCU MOT: September 2026

Chassis No: SCAZD00A0KCH29258

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

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

First registered as ‘G43 SCU’ on August 2nd 1989 (and subsequently as ‘1 JOE’), this sought after Corniche II is understood to have been in single family ownership from new. Warranted to have covered a mere 33,000 miles, it relocated to the Isle of Man during 1999 (relinquishing ‘1 JOE’ in the process) where it was stabled alongside its late custodian’s similarly treasured Bentley Azure and Turbo RL until earlier this year. Personally inspected by David Wilkes of marque specialist Silver Chalice Services Ltd on an annual basis

(including an underbody clean) and worked on as necessary during its time on the crown dependency, the Convertible had been main dealer maintained prior to then. Exceptionally well preserved for a thirty-six year old motorcar, the four-seater would not look out of place at a concours d’elegance. Finished in the classically handsome combination of Cobalt Blue Metallic with Parchment leather upholstery and a matching Everflex roof, the Corniche II also sports a Cobalt Blue leather steering wheel and dashtop with the same colour being used for its seat piping. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Rolls-Royce possesses a MOT certificate valid until September 2026. Worthy of close inspection, it is quite possibly the best Corniche II currently available.

Chassis No: 322556

Presented in its original colour of Olive Green, this Swedish-market 96 is one of the best-documented in Britain. Originally registered ‘R 74555’ in Mariestad, Skaraborg County, it was sold by the dealer C. A. Carlsson to Karl Gustav Georg Freijd, a machine foreman whose address of “Fagerhult, Bredvik, Kyrkebo” places him in Sweden’s southern tip. He retained it until at least 1978, servicing it annually or biennially up to 1977. The service book gives low odometer readings up to 9,180km, but the inspection report from 1978 confusingly claims 93,378km. By 1990, the odometer had been reset to 1,832km.

It appears the Saab was exported to the Netherlands in 1995, where it reputedly spent many years in a science museum. The present owner purchased it from the museum and imported it in 2015, giving it to Graham Macdonald of Macdonald Classic Cars for recommissioning, which included a carburettor overhaul, a front disc brake conversion and new rear brake cylinders. Also, new floor mats were made to order by Madmatz. The vendor describes the car as “excellent” and the paperwork file is exceptional, containing the original manual and service book, assorted documents from the 1960s and ’70s, several Swedish inspection reports, British registration documents, a SAAB Owners Club of Great Britain authenticity certificate, and invoices from the recommissioning.

The Audi 100 was produced between 1968 and 1994 and was the company’s largest car since the revival of the Audi brand by Volkswagen in 1965. By 1987, the C3 or 3rd Edition boasted 10 engine variants from 1.8 to 2.5-litre capacity in both petrol and diesel guise with manual or automatic transmissions. Aerodynamics were key to fuel efficiency, and as the world awoke to the importance of this, they in turn awoke to the futuristic Audi ovals. Indeed, the 1983 Audi 100 edged out the Ford Sierra to be awarded the 1983 European Car of the Year award.

This example has been in single family ownership since new having been purchased from sometime Audi dealer South Hereford Garages Ltd by the vendor’s grandmother in 1993. Ordered from the factory with a galvanised chassis, the car has lived with the same farming family its whole life. The accompanying book pack evidences dealer servicing up to 50,000 miles after which the vendor, a qualified mechanic, inherited the car and maintained it himself. He has also overseen a full body respray and alloy wheel refurbishment alongside his own regular maintenance schedule. Starting readily upon inspection, this rare luxury saloon is offered with a current V5c logbook and MOT to October 2026.

39 1937 Austin Twenty Mayfair Limousine

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: DRB 133 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: DJM 6756

The Austin Twenty Mayfair was the Coventry firm’s top-of-the-range model in the late 1930s, offering stately luxury at a more attainable price point. Powered by a 3,425cc six-cylinder side-valve engine driving through a four-speed manual gearbox, it delivered refined, effortless motoring for the professional and aristocratic classes alike.

This elegant limousine, registration DRB 133, is finished in deep blue with a subtle purple hue over black wings, complemented by a blue leather interior with division partition and folding occasional seats. Originally owned by Robert Rome of Prescot, Merseyside from the 1960s to 1995, the car later joined the collection of Mr Granville Angell, Lord of Cannock, who undertook a painstaking restoration featured in The Automobile in 1998. This took 91 weeks (five hours per day, five days per week, by two craftsmen) and included a shot-blasted chassis, handmade silencer, new suspension bushes, new wiring loom, re-cored radiator, new carpets, and extensive use of stainless fittings and fasteners. Presented today in reportedly excellent mechanical and interior order, the car is shows a believed genuine 82,551 miles from new. Purchased by the vendor in 2018, it now carries an agreed insurance valuation of £24,000. Beautiful, well-documented, and eminently usable, DRB 133 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the surviving examples of this dignified British limousine.

Supplied new through Jack Barclay, ‘LJ59 KWD’ contains a wealth of desirable equipment, including a glass sunroof, 20in split-rim wheels, veneered rear picnic tables, rear entertainment screens, a rear cool box, heated seats with massage function, four-zone climate control, an electric rear blind and much more. With just five keepers from new, the Spur comes with documented evidence of fifteen services and low mileage. The service book reveals a PDI and thirteen services, with the majority completed by Bentley main agents and specialists. There are also two further specialist services in the history file, the most recent was performed in May, 2025, by Starmans Rolls-Royce & Bentley Specialists, when the mileage stood at just 57,576 miles. Also in 2025, Starmans fitted four new tyres, two new rear pipes, two new batteries and a new suspension pump, as part of works totalling £2,300. ‘LJ59 KWD’ has been in the ownership of a keen Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club member since 2023 and in that time has been used mainly for club events. It is supplied with the book pack, MOT history and an MOT with no advisories until May, 2026. It will be driven 95 miles to the sale.

Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by no less than eight different engines with over 237,000 examples being built - the longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz aside from the G-Wagen. The Bruno Sacco-design was bigger, heavier and softer-riding than its predecessor, but still handled well and won the plaudits of distinguished motoring writers including LJK Setright. The 245bhp 500 SL made from 1980 had an all-alloy fuel-injected V8 for Europe only with 60mph available in 7.4 secs and top speed of 140mph, faster even than the 560 SL. Plenty of R107s come to market, but 500 SLs are a rarity, with only 11,812 built.

Showing just 3 former keepers and in current ownership since 2002, this red example has covered c.124,000 miles from new. Kept garaged and not normally driven in the rain for the past ten years it nevertheless comes with both hard and soft tops. Offered with history file, current MOT to June 2026 and current V5c document, it is described as being an overall “good” example of Mercedes-Benz’s big and rare SL.

No: SCBZB03A4NCH42144

Elegant and yet also muscular, this superb Continental R appears in its original colour scheme of Balmoral Green with an interior trimmed in the complementary Parchment and Spruce and remains in outstanding condition after just 65,000 miles. Sold new on September 1st, 1992, through Dutton-Forshaw of Preston, Lancashire, its original equipment also included a windscreen shade band and burr walnut interior veneer. It was meticulously looked after from day one, being serviced six times – twice annually – by Dutton-Forshaw up to July, 1995 (28,431 miles). An additional service was performed in 1995 by Bentley main dealer S. P. Broughton & Co. of Cheltenham, followed by seven services in the hands of marque specialist Sebright Origin Ltd. between 1997 and 2004 (46,940 miles). Subsequent services were performed by Marlow Cars in 2008 and Thornley Kelham in 2015 (59,254 miles). Despite its very sparing recent use, the Bentley has been MOT’d annually since 2013 and is offered with the current certificate valid until March, 2026, and showing no advisories. In the present ownership since 2021, the Bentley is offered with the current V5C, the original book pack containing the owner’s manuals, the service record, the warranty and the sales directory, a long MOT history running back to 1996 and maintenance invoices going back to 2003.

Reg No: BRU 48Y MOT: Exempt Chassis No: SALLBAAH1AA185414

The Series III was a masterful facelift overseen by Range Rover designer David Bache. Changes included moving headlamps to the front wings and stylised plastic radiator grille. The updated and more safety conscious interior and all synchromesh gearbox acknowledged the opposition was catching up, and overdrive catered for those who needed their Landy for serious on-road work.

This particular Series III 88” was first registered on 12th of January 1983. The original registration BRU 48Y is pleasingly still retained. Presented in Mid Grey with black seats and various comforts including a very good heater. The most recent owner acquired the car in August 2017 to become only the 5th owner, and believes it was first the property of the BBC and used on outbound assignment work before being sold on to private ownership. The recorded mileage is just shy of 86,000 and is supported by a comprehensive MOT history with certificates back to 1993 and tax discs back to 1989. Despite being driven for little over 1,000 miles around his Sussex estate since 2017, the Land Rover has been maintained regardless of cost and this is supported by nearly £4,000 of service work since acquisition in August 2017. Offered with a detailed BMI Heritage Certificate, MOT history and numerous service invoices evidencing the present condition of this classic Land Rover.

1976 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4

Reg No: NPK 86P MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11844

Launched at the 1973 Paris Salon, the Dino 308 GT4 was a seminal model for Maranello. The first V8-powered Ferrari, it was also the marque’s first non-Pininfarina styled production car. The desirability levels of these Ferraris are quietly ballooning with prices, quite rightly, following suit.

Chassis 11844 was supplied new through Maranello Concessionaires to Lazenby Garages Ltd of Rothley, Leicester, and first registered on the 2nd March 1976 as ‘MJU 889P’. Specified in the attractive colour scheme of Marrone Metallizzato over a full Magnolia leather interior, the 308 was retained by Lazenby Garages until July 1976, when ownership was transferred to Geoffrey Rayner Ltd of Droylsden, Manchester. Several changes of ownership passed, plus plate changes which included ‘OAR 217P’, ‘57 MOB’ and most recently as ‘NPK 86P’.

An extensive maintenance record has been kept for the Dino, with invoices dating back to 1978 on file. Highlights include a bodywork overhaul in 1990 by Moore Tech Engineering of Cobham for some £9,600, plus a top-end overhaul in 2003 which included the fitment of a new cylinder head and exhaust valves, plus replacement carburettors. In the previous ownership from 2017, during this time the car was subjected to further extensive works, including the fitment of an upgraded ignition system, major works to the carburettors including a complete strip-down and overhaul, and various improvements to the general operation and cosmetic condition of the car. In total, works during the vendor’s ownership total over £4,600. The Ferrari was painted in the current TDF blue during the 2010s.

Across the last six months, the Dino has received significant further improvement, including bodywork and paintwork enhancements, a fuel pump overhaul, and refreshed ignition system. Offered complete with an extensive history file with numerous invoices documenting maintenance, a believed complete ownership history, a plethora of previous MOT’s dating back to 1979, which back up the believed genuine indicated mileage of just 39,000 miles, and V5C document.

1999 Jaguar XKR Convertible by Paramount Performance

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: P200 XKR MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: SAJAC42J0YPA00869

Among the most collectable variants of the XK8 and XKR are the handful that were enhanced in period by Paramount Performance of Beaconsfield, a small firm extant in the 1990s and early 2000s and specialising in the refurbishment and restoration of what were then the “most modern” Jaguars and Daimlers. Our XKR was sold on November 5th, 1999, through Stratstone Jaguar of Mayfair, finished in Platinum paint with Ivory upholstery, Oatmeal headlining, a Black hood and burr walnut trim. The Paramount equipment was purchased in 2002 for £14,080 and consisted of a carbon fibre and aluminium body kit, an engine induction system, lowered springs, switchable steering, a chrome mesh grille and 19-inch Futura wheels with triple-eared spinners. Further equipment was purchased in 2003, including AP racing brakes. We believe most of the original Paramount parts to be present, although the wheels have been changed.

The third and present owner acquired the XKR in 2010 and enjoyed it for several years before taking it off the road in 2017, just after a service. However, it was not neglected and received the attention of marque specialist AJ Tech in 2024, when the fuel pumps were replaced. Wonderfully preserved, it is sold with many MOTs and invoices, including sales invoices, two original Paramount promotional flyers and a workshop manual on a CD-ROM.

Reg No: P566 BPJ MOT: T.B.A.

Chassis No: SCBZE20C5VCH59348

The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992, and was intended as a slightly cheaper alternative to the Bentley Turbo R featuring the same styling, underpinnings of the Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre, V8 engine but without the more powerful model’s turbocharger. The exterior design featured the classic Bentley grill as well as dual headlights with wrap-around parking lights. The interior remained relatively unchanged from previous Bentley models but with a more curvaceous design element surrounding the leather-wrapped centre console. In the autumn of 1996, Brooklands received an update in a form of light-pressure turbo, boosting power output to 300bhp.

Chassis ‘59348’ was manufactured in 1996 and was supplied via Rolls-Royce main agent Weybridge Automobiles on the 8th November that year. A notably early light-pressure turbo example is finished in the delightful colour of Wildberry Mica paintwork with a complementary Magnolia hide interior upholstery. Purchased into current the ownership for the use of completing a Drivers Club tour of the British Isles, the Brooklands is now offered with just 53,500 miles from new on the odometer. Recently benefiting from significant cosmetic improvements and a full service by Bradshaw Bentley in May this year, the Bentley is supplied with the original owner’s handbook and stamped service book. Further accompanied to sale by a collection of previous MOT certificates, tax discs, and a current V5C document.

Reg No: M414 CLY MOT: May 2026 Chassis No: WDB1290632F115854

We are pleased to offer this 1995 SL 320 in pleasingly original condition. Registered new in London, ‘M414 CLY’ was residing in the Guildford area of Surrey by 2004. Its earliest recorded history is a service invoice from the West Horsley Motor Works, dating from March 18th, 2004, when the mileage stood at 69,731 miles. Following the MOT history, the Mercedes appears to have remained in continuous use, averaging 5,000 to 6,000 miles a year until 2013. It was then used intermittently and sparingly until 2019, when it was taken off the road for a few years. Recommissioned in 2023, it has once again seen only very light use, but having been MOTed in May, 2025, with no advisories, it could certainly be put into more frequent service if desired.

The present reading of 119,000 miles is believed to be genuine and is, of course, a paltry figure when one considers the reputation of Mercedes engineering of the ’80s and ’90s for durability and longevity. The SL is sold with paperwork including some invoices back to 2004 and MOT certificates back to 2010, and instructions for the Sony audio equipment. Also present is the leather book pack, which contains the owner’s manual, the dealership directory, and the separate manuals for soft-top and side-window control and the remote-control locking system.

1980 BMW 323i Turbo ‘Schnitzer’

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000*

Chassis No: Z84C274795

With the blessing of Colin Chapman and Lotus, the Mk. I Cortina was transformed into one of the greatest ever “fast Fords” after the humble Kent engine was turned into a racy twin-cam by Harry Mundy, an experienced designer of Coventry-Climax race engines as well as being Technical Editor of Autocar. With a 1,557cc displacement, the Lotus Cortinas were a tour de force in saloon car racing between 1963 and 1965, most famously driven by Jim Clark and winning the saloon car championships of Britain, Europe, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Subsequently, countless enthusiasts have sought to recreate the thrills of the Lotus Cortina, either by building replicas or making modifications of their own, for which purpose the arrival of the overhead-cam Pinto engine in 1970 was a godsend.

This rather racy 1963 Consul Cortina has been turned from family saloon to super saloon courtesy of a highly-tuned 2.1-litre Pinto engine with a Burton Power high-performance head and a quad Keihin CVK carburettor set-up (as used on many performance motorcycles, including Kawasakis and Triumph Bonnevilles). With disc brakes fitted all-round, this Cortina represents a happy marriage of 1960s styling with later tuning and dress-up equipment, also including a Moto-Lita steering wheel and Superlite (Minilite-style) wheels.

Reg No: PVL 569V MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WBA30710006545488

As the eye-catching graphics make clear, this E21 is a very rare Schnitzer Turbo, one of a small handful turbocharged and enhanced by Schnitzer Motorsport, the racing team known for its half-century-long association with BMW. After campaigning the 323i in saloon car racing, Schnitzer modified it for the road, lowering the compression ratio and installing a KKK turbocharger for a claimed 200bhp, 140mph and 0-62mph time of 6.7 seconds. Features included a limited-slip differential, stiffened suspension, sport seats, front and rear spoilers and optional stripes.

This example went to America shortly after completion, but was later shipped to South Africa, where the vendor purchased it in 2023 from a deceased’s estate. Rendered even more striking by its Zender body kit and steering wheel, it has survived in excellent order with many correct Schnitzer parts, including the Alpina long-range tank, Alpina differential heat fins and the 240km/h speedometer. The vendor advises that the bodywork is very good due to its life in a dry climate and the bronze-tinted windows are believed original, though the engine will require tuning as the car has not been on British roads. It has had new front suspension top mounts and replacement Spax shock absorbers, and is supplied with the V5C and VIN verification from BMW confirming it was built as a 1980 323i manual in Yellow.

Reg No: 682 XAF MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11304220003959

We consider this 1964 230/250 SL to be one of the most desirable W113s on the market on account of its superb specification, combining rare original features with an engine upgrade made in period. Hailing from the second year of 230 SL production, ‘682 XAF’ represents an extremely scarce example of a British-market, right-hand drive manual SL, besides being one of very few to carry an original pre-suffix registration. This SL’s history begins in 1975, when it was owned by Mr. R. B. Foreman of Polperro. Invoices indicate it was maintained then by M. Thomas (Continentals) Ltd., a Mercedes-Benz and Audi garage in Plymouth. Work included the fitment of a 250 SL engine in 1975, with a corresponding boot badge; introduced in 1966, the 250’s engine featured an increased stroke, raising displacement to 2,496cc and torque to a claimed 159lb ft. Intermittent records continue up to 1986, after which the Mercedes led a quieter life until 2013, when the then-owner presented it to respected classic Mercedes specialist Hilton & Moss for an extensive programme of works, which included welding, wiring repairs, replacement of the clutch slave cylinder, wheel cylinders and fuel pump, and some paint touch-up, coming to a total of just over £10,000.

Further maintenance was performed by SS Motors in 2016, including a gearbox overhaul with new bushes and spacers. The vendor purchased the Mercedes in 2018 and commissioned further improvements with Cotswold Classic Car Restorations. Welding repairs to the floorpan and rear suspension mounting areas were undertaken in 2019, and a new stereo was fitted, the work costing £8,350. Most recently, an £18,000 engine overhaul was performed from September, 2022, to February, 2023, with new rings, bearings and valve guides. Now in excellent order, ‘682 XAF’ will require light recommissioning after a period out of use. It is supplied with the current V5C, copious invoices dating back to 1975, some recent sales invoices, and a few MOTs dating back to 1977.

2009 Bentley Continental GTC Speed

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000*

Reg No: LJ59 BZM MOT: July 2026

Chassis No: SCBDF23W2AC063079

Finished in the uncommon but very attractive colour scheme of Aquamarine with Linen leather upholstery and a Green hood, this delightful GTC has been extremely well cared-for across its 16-year life. With only four owners from new, including the present owner since 2020, it has covered just 45,000 miles and received 16 services, all of them from Bentley main dealers and specialists. As built, it was a brilliantly well-specified car, with original equipment and fittings including light maple wood trim, massage seats with power-adjustable lumbar support, a leather steering wheel, digital sound package, navigation system, television reception, a power-closing boot, 20in alloy wheels, and much more. Additionally, this car has been fitted with a tracker by Vodafone Automotive.

The detailed service history begins with the pre-delivery inspection and a further six services being performed by Jack Barclay, the final one undertaken in 2015 at 22,531 miles. One further Jack Barclay service was performed in 2018, with a number of well-respected Bentley specialists visited since, the most recent service being completed on November 15th, 2025, at around 45,000 miles. The MOT record further testifies as to the excellent care this GTC has received, as it has been tested annually since 2020 with no advisories. The current MOT is valid until July 29th, 2026, and in addition to its full service record, the Bentley is also supplied its leather-bound instruction book and two sets of keys. In the vendor’s words, the engine, electrics, transmission and interior are “excellent” and the bodywork and paint are “very good.” Being in such fine condition and sporting such a pleasant, summery colour scheme, we cannot think of a better car for grand tours to the south of France or the Italian lakes.

1935 Alvis Speed 20 SC Vanden Plas Tourer

1 of just 21 examples bodied with Vanden Plas Tourer coachwork

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000*

Reg No: BLX 277 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11926

The more bespoke end of coachbuilding included those Alvises bodied by the Kingsbury, Middlesex, firm of Vanden Plas, a name most closely-associated with the conquering Bentley Le Mans team cars of the 1920s. Having been involved with aircraft production during the 1914-18 war, Vanden Plas struggled to gain a foothold in post-war coachbuilding until it was bought in 1923 by Edwin Fox, who cemented the association with Bentley. It then relied almost exclusively on such custom until Bentley went bankrupt in 1931, at which point Vanden Plas had to find new customers. Charles Follett became an Alvis dealer just prior to the Speed 20’s introduction, and his decision to commission Vanden Plas to construct a variety of bodies for the new model was instrumental in prolonging the coachbuilder’s survival. Chassis 11926 was built early in the Speed 20 SC’s life and was notably from the same batch of bodies as chassis 11960, which Charles Follett ordered as his personal racing car, achieving two wins at Brooklands in 1936, setting a fastest lap at 103mph. Indeed, the SC model attracted very many important customers, most famously George Formby and racing driver Luis Fontés. Other owners were drawn from the ranks of MPs, surgeons, novelists, businessmen, aristocrats, architects and aviators.

Records show that 11926’s chassis was despatched to Follett on October 5th, 1934, and it was completed by Vanden Plas in November, painted blue, for a cost of £145. It was then issued with the London registration ‘BLX 277’ in 1935. Early owners are listed as a Mr. Wedgewood and an Edgar Segar, although with no dates attached. The owner circa 1956 was one J. C. Dickens of Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, and around 1959 it belonged to a Mr. Hinchcliffe of Dulwich and later Hove. No further history is known until 1966, when it was photographed at the National Alvis Day at Crystal Palace on May 1st, the picture being published in the June, 1966, issue of Veteran & Vintage; it was then seemingly painted white.

In 1970, it was purchased by Patrick J. S. Griggs of Toot Hill, Essex. He cherished it for 36 years, commissioning a “chassis-up” restoration in the late 1980s by Peter Woodley. The chassis, steering and front axle were completely restored to “original specification,” the engine was overhauled, and the radiator was restored with an “original-type” core. The work also included a new wiring loom and the reupholstering of the interior in an appropriate leather. Upgrades included a modern oil filter and a conversion to run on coil ignition only; it is also likely that this is when it was painted British Racing Green. At some

stage, it was also converted to a conventional pedal layout with a right-hand throttle. When the Alvis was subjected to a condition report in 2002, showing 64,360 miles, it was said to still be in “excellent” condition, with all parts inspected in working order. Following the restoration, the Alvis continued to be meticulously maintained by Woodley and was driven by Griggs on many Continental rallies, until it was offered for sale in 2006.

In the subsequent ownership, it remained in use until 2013, but was sold in 2021 from a deceased’s estate showing just over 70,000 miles. It was then that the Speed 20 was purchased by the vendor, who in 2022 presented it to marque specialist Red Triangle for some light mechanical and cosmetic attention. It was put through a 3,000-mile service and MOTed, and several of the body panels were repainted to match the existing Green, the work coming to just under £1,500. Additionally, the Alvis received new Blockley tyres in April, 2024. Now appearing in very pleasing condition, it is sold with a large history file containing MOTs back to the 1970s, old tax discs, historic correspondence, and a multitude of invoices including Red Triangle invoices back to the 1970s.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Competition Coupe

Le Mans Classic, Goodwood Revival and Silverstone Classic competitor

Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000*

Reg No: 501 UYN MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 20867 S 106281

Now in its eighth generation, the Corvette began life in 1953 with the C1, a model that captivated a generation of American youngsters. It was the work of the legendary Harley Earl and inspired by the great European road/race offerings of the day. It borrowed its name - of French origin - from centuries of small, fast warships. The newcomer was first seen in concept form at the New York Auto Show, and generated sufficient interest for General Motors to hand-build a batch of 300 Polo White Convertibles. Sales, slow at first, had built to no less than 14,000 per annum by the introduction of the C2 10 years later. The C1 received multiple cosmetic updates along the way, the most significant of which came in 1958 when the nose was lengthened and dual headlights were introduced. The model was initially only available with a straight-six powerplant but soon progressed to V8 power units of varying horsepower with various transmission options.

The car offered here is a tribute to the only Corvette that ran at Le Mans in 1962, entered by the Scuderia Scirocco race team from Modena, Italy, and driven by American Tony Settember and Briton Jack Turner. Given the competitor number ‘1’, the Corvette started at the front of the 1962 Le Mans grid as starting positions were determined by engine capacity and as a result briefly led the race at the drop of the flag.

This car was imported into the UK in 2011 and was restored over a five-year period to FIA-HTP competition specification by Adam Ruddle, a Tesla engineer, with assistance from Claremont Corvette of Kent. Exceptional attention to detail was employed to faithfully recreate the Scuderia Scirocco Le Mans car including sourcing a correct 1962-built car from the St Louis, Missouri, GM Assembly Plant with the powerful 327 engine specific to that year. Aside from general race preparation and full engine rebuild, detailed modifications from the original Le Mans car include: special brake cooling intakes in the front bumper; perspex bug deflector on the bonnet; additional tachometer and gauges on the dashboard; side-exit exhausts; extra Lucas driving lights flanking the grille, and, of course, the distinctive Scuderia Scirocco livery. Since completion at the beginning of 2016, the car has raced at some of the most prestigious race meetings in Europe, including Le Mans Classic, Silverstone Classic and the Goodwood Revival, being well-received in the Kinrara Trophy. Up against some of the finest GTs of the early 1960s, including Ferrari 250 GTOs and SWBs, Aston Martin DB4GTs, and Jaguar E-Types, the Corvette was a real crowd pleaser and was specifically

featured in Goodwood’s event coverage. The car continued to campaign around Europe with previous owners in historic racing series run by leading race organisers Peter Auto. Having been purchased by the vendor in 2022, this fascinating Corvette has been treated to a new, 120-litre ATL fuel cell, complete with new fuel lines and filters, a new seat and belts, and a new set of Dunlop historic race tyres. The car also has a valid FIA Historic Technical Passport (HTP) until the end of December 2026.

The car is offered with current FIA HTP papers and UK V5c registration document and a large supply of spares including two exhaust systems (road and straight-through) plus a number of parts for the brakes and steering which are detailed in the history file. The vendor has advised us that the fire extinguisher will need replacing along with a new roll cage. Surely one of the most cost-effective ways to gain entry to some of the world’s most prestigious historic motor races.

Reg No: GT 7914 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 7007P

With coachwork by Weymann’s Motor Bodies, chassis 7007/P is believed to have been built for Weymann’s stand at the 1931 Olympia Motor Exhibition. The description conforms with that given in the Olympia catalogue: “20-H.P. 6-Cylinder Sunbeam L.W.B. Close-coupled Saloon. Weymann specially designed semi-panelled 4-door 4-light close-coupled Saloon by Exhibitors, with luxurious seating for five.” It was then sold through the London dealership of Pass & Joyce, apparently to one V. Gunn. However, it was returned to Pass & Joyce in 1933 and sold to Capt. Humphrey Bache Davie (later Davie-Thornhill) of Stanton Hall, Derbyshire. He retained the Sunbeam until 1964, after covering 150,000 miles. It was always garaged, but he wrote at the time: “The body and paintwork and glass windows are all in poor condition. It has not been used in 2 years as I bought a Bentley and no longer wanted it.”

The new owner was John Kelsey of Lancashire. He embarked upon a restoration which progressed through the 1960s, as evidenced by many letters on file, and the correspondence continues through the 1970s and ’80s with the S.T.D. Register, marque historian Bruce Dowell and other owners. Some charming correspondence between Kelsey and Davie-Thornhill has been preserved, along with some 1970s black-and-white photographs. Kelsey parted with 7007/P in 1996 and it changed hands several times subsequently, being acquired by the present owner in 2019. Another owner renovated the car cosmetically around 2008, with invoices on file for much chrome-plating and specially-mixed maroon paint. The most recent mechanical overhaul occurred from 2012 to 2014, when marque specialist Jim Catnach renovated the engine, gearbox, back axle and brakes, with work extending to white-metalling and replacing gearbox and axle bearings, totalling around £15,000. Still a wonderful car for touring at home and abroad, 7007/P is sold with a vast history file containing the current and past V5s, heritage documentation from the Sunbeam Register, copious invoices, some historic photographs, copies of chassis records and many, many letters dating back to 1964.

2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante Jubilee Edition

Reg No: CE02 GXA MOT: August 2026

Chassis No: SCFAB32312K403081

Introduced at the March, 1999, Geneva Salon, the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage eschewed its predecessor’s 3,228cc supercharged straight-six for a 5,935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lb ft. Available with a choice of six-speed manual, five-speed automatic, or (later) Touchtronic semi-auto transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had in Coupé or Volante (Convertible) guises. The latter had its top speed limited to 165mph but could reportedly accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds.

In 2002, Stratstone of Mayfair commissioned a special run of 24 Jubilee Edition DB7s to honour Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee. Of the 24, 19 were RHD, and of those nine were Coupés and ten Volantes. All were finished to special-order specification in Jubilee Blue with a Magnolia leather interior, Dark Blue dash top and Wilton carpets, dark Italian walnut and a Parchment Alcantara headlining. Jubilee motifs are embossed on the head restraints and printed on the dials, and other distinguishing features include 19-inch wheels, silver brake callipers with blue Aston Martin lettering, clear side repeater lenses, chrome door mirrors and a wide mesh grille with Jubilee badges.

This extremely special survivor has had just three keepers and covered around 36,000 miles from new. The vendor purchased it from Hills of Lymington in 2011 and has looked after it very carefully, with maintenance performed by marque specialist AJ Tech since 2017. AJ Tech completed an air-conditioning regas in 2019, overhauled the front brakes with new callipers in 2021, and most recently serviced it in June, 2025. The alloy wheels were refurbished in 2022 by South West Wheel Repairs. Complete with an MOT with no advisories until August, 2026, this highly desirable special edition is offered with sales paperwork from Hills and many invoices and MOT certificates back to 2010.

57 1964 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupé

Highly original garage find example with just two private owners

Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: LKE 559B MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 861673

Series I Coupés rank among the most desirable of all E-Types and many enthusiasts consider them the prettiest. In home-market right-hand drive form, they’re also very rare – just 1,799 right-hand drive 3.8 Coupés were built. We are pleased to offer an extremely original example, albeit one which is in need of sympathetic restoration. Originally carrying the attractive registration ‘TDY 1’ (the rear plate is still attached), it is thought to have resided from new in Leicestershire, and has remarkably been in the ownership of just two families from new. Following the first owner’s death in the mid-1980s, his widow continued to maintain the Jaguar until 1990, at which point it was placed into dry storage and did not emerge until it was sold to the vendor in 2008 viâ E-Type UK. Despite his best intentions, the new owner never found time to attend to it himself and it remained in his garage all the while, hence it is now for sale with the hope that somebody will return it to its former glory.

We are of the understanding that the E-type is complete with matching-numbers assemblies and has never even been taken apart to any significant degree. The MOT records testify that the mileage reading of 74,698 miles is genuine, the interior looks especially original, and the factory-supplied toolkit and jack are present. As it is, it represents an excellent restoration opportunity which would be ideal for an experienced amateur or even an enthusiastic first-timer. It will obviously require both mechanical and bodywork repairs, but the interior appears so well-preserved that the philosophy of conservation over restoration may perhaps be favoured. Paperwork includes the current V5C and several MOT certificates and maintenance invoices up to 1990.

1995 Range Rover Classic

Subject to significant development by Kingsley Cars

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: M693 AGL MOT: May 2026

Chassis No: SALLHAMM3MA658884

Only built from March 1994 – February 1996, the Classic represented the ultimate evolution of the original Range Rover. Launched in 1970, Land Rover’s pioneering SUV had been the first vehicle of its kind to feature permanent four-wheel drive, ABS brakes, electronic traction control or air suspension. Long established as a global icon and ‘shorthand’ for British luxury, it is little wonder Land Rover hedged its bets by overlapping Classic production with that of its second generation (P38A) successor. Boasting a full suite of ‘mod cons’ including power steering, air-conditioning, heated front seats, automatic transmission and leather upholstery, the Classic was characterised by its ‘Soft Dash’ (derived from that of the contemporary Discovery). A measure of the model’s collectability, the softdashregister.net lists just 375 examples.

Previously a resident of the car-friendly climate of Japan, the Range Rover was thereafter imported before being acquired by the current owner in 2019. Subsequently subject to a thorough inspection by well-renowed marque specialists Kingsley Cars of Oxfordshire, they carried out a 4.6-litre V8 engine upgrade including a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system, and just c.6,000 miles being covered since. Finished in a custom order colour of Biarritz Blue paitnwork with a Grey leather interior, which has been reupholstered since being repatriated to the United Kingdom. ‘M693 AGL’ is now offered presenting in very good order cosmetically and mechanically, and is offered for sale with a large history file with and a current Swansea V5C.

2013 Bentley Mulsanne

Originally loaned to the Royal Household and used by HRH King Charles III for multiple official engagements

Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000*

Reg No: DA63 XGO MOT: May 2026

Chassis No: SCBBA63Y1EC018879

While it originally favoured Daimlers and then progressed to Rolls-Royces after the Second World War, for many years Bentley has been the Royal Family’s marque of choice, an association most strongly represented by the two elegant State Limousines specially constructed for the late Queen Elizabeth in 2002, which have remained in service ever since. For junior royals, a range of other Bentleys has been employed, of which this outstanding Mulsanne, the 21st century’s limousine par excellence, is one. It was one of a number of Mulsannes allocated for Royal service, after the first were completed to a special specification for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012. We understand that two Mulsannes remain in use as state cars, while a number of others fulfil “semi-state” functions – defined as “less formal situations and general support.

‘DA63 XGO’ belonged originally to Bentley Motor Cars’ Press and Special Vehicles Dept., from which it was allocated to the Royal Family in December, 2013, and many photographs exist of it providing transport for the Prince of Wales – the present King Charles III. – on a number of occasions. Whenever one considers the Mulsanne, it would be remiss not to refer to The Sunday Times’s charming prose: “[it] manages the beguiling trick of combining the atmosphere of a country house library with the ability to out-accelerate most sports cars, a feat all the more surprising in light of its unmissable scale.” In other words, there could be no better car for a future king. Our car remained in Bentley’s possession until 2017, when it was sold into private hands. We understand it then formed part of a collection until 2022, when it was sold again, and it has been in the present ownership since 2023.

As is to be expected, ‘DA63 XGO’ was constructed to an extremely high specification, with original equipment including four-wheel air suspension, burr walnut interior trim, a rear-view parking camera, power windows, cruise control, power-adjustable lumbar support in the front and outer rear seats, a leather multi-function steering wheel, a built-in navigation system, 21in alloy wheels, a power-closing boot lid, digital radio and television reception, and a heat-insulating windscreen. It remains in its beautiful original colours of Dark Sapphire with a Magnolia leather interior. The Bentley has been comprehensively maintained both during and after its Royal service, as evidenced by the nine service stamps, all from Bentley agents or marque specialists. Following the initial pre-delivery inspection by the Press and Special Vehicles Dept. on December 10th, 2013, ‘DA63 XGO’ was subsequently serviced by Bentley Manchester

(undated); Jack Barclay (February, 2015, at 4,013 miles); the Press and Special Vehicles Dept. (January, 2016, at 7,871 miles); Bentley Manchester (July, 2017, at 11,018 miles, July, 2018, at 18,482 miles and August, 2019, at 27,202 miles); JCT600 (February, 2022, at 31,018 miles); and John Holland (May, 2023, at 33,281 miles).

When it was last offered for sale, our Mulsanne was described as being in “showroom condition” and we have no cause to dispute that. In the present ownership, it has continued to be used sparingly and sympathetically and both paint and interior maintain in exceptionally good order throughout. Mechanically, we are advised that it has always started and driven well, and we are pleased to report that it passed its most recent MOT test in May, 2025, at 34,210 miles with no advisories. Further to the MOT, the Bentley is also supplied with its current V5C, the Service Handbook and Quick Reference Guide, and three sets of keys. Luxury cars do not come finer, or much rarer, than the Bentley Mulsanne – by the end of production in 2020, we understand fewer than 700 of the 7,929 manufactured had been supplied to the British market – and the provenance of this car surely makes it the ne plus ultra of modern Bentleys.

1965 Lola T70 MkII Spyder

Built to 1965 specification with a current FIA HTP

Estimate: £170,000 - £210,000*

Reg No: N/A MOT: N/A

Chassis No: SL142/22

Lola’s sublimely beautiful T70 Spyder sports-racer is historically significant as winner of the first ever Can-Am Championship. It was designed and manufactured by Lola Cars Ltd, of Bromley, Kent, a relatively young company that had been building competition cars for only seven years prior to the T70’s introduction in 1965. From humble beginnings, Lola Cars quickly established a winning reputation and grew to become a major force in world motorsport. Eric Broadley, his cousin Graham and Rob Rushbrook, at whose garage premises the first customer production versions were made, were the architects of the early success, which continued with a front-engined, single-seater Formula Junior, the Mk2.

Among Broadley’s early projects was the Mk6 GT coupé, which had been designed to take advantage of readily available American V8 engines that offered the ideal combination of compact size and adequate performance. Lola’s first monocoque design, the Mk6 GT became part of Ford’s Le Mans programme in 1963, Broadley having been hired by the American company to assist with the development of what would emerge as the allconquering GT40. At odds with his American bosses, Broadley left in 1964 and the following year, having penned a handful of Formula 2 monopostos, returned to sports cars with a new design for Group 7 racing: the T70. Effectively a ‘formula libre’ for sports prototypes - enclosed wheels and provision for an onboard spare were just about the only regulations - Group 7 was becoming popular on both sides of the Atlantic and the potential market for such cars looked promising.

Designed to accept American V8 engines, the T70 Spyder incorporated a full-length monocoque body tub fabricated of aluminium panels on a steel framework, the engine being bolted to the firewall bulkhead as a semi-stressed member. The suspension was conventional, boasting unequal length wishbones and coil spring/damper units all round, though the positioning of the disc brakes inboard of the wheels was an unusual feature, adopted in the interests of better cooling.

John Surtees was one of the first customers for the T70, running what in effect was a ‘semiworks’ team in 1965. Traco-prepared Chevrolet V8s were used, a 5.0-litre unit at first and then from mid-season a 5.9. A Mk2 version of the T70 became available before the end of the ‘65 season, Broadley taking advantage of the forthcoming deletion of the ‘spare wheel’ requirement to redesign the nose, replacing the original twin radiators with a large single unit while incorporating a host of detail improvements to both chassis and suspension. The result was a significantly quicker car, which in prototype form was driven to a convincing victory

by Surtees in the Guards International Trophy at Brands Hatch on the August bank holiday weekend. Surtees then wrote off the prototype Mk2 at Mosport Park in Canada following a suspension failure, sustaining injuries that put him out for the rest of the season. He bounced back in 1966, winning three of the inaugural Can-Am Championship’s six races for Lola and defeating rivals McLaren and Chaparral in the process. Privately entered T70s won two of the other races making it a magnificent five out of six for Lola. Surtees’ success capped what had been a tremendous year for the British manufacturer in North America, Graham Hill already having won the celebrated Indianapolis 500 in a T90.

Although the works McLarens would dominate Can-Am for the next five years, the Lola T70 remained a popular choice for privateers, among whom it was rated as the sweetest handling of the customer cars. Given its Can-Am origins, it is not surprising that the longserving T70 family of sports cars was better suited to sprint events, yet against the odds a Mk3B coupé entered by Roger Penske lasted the distance to win the coveted Daytona 24 Hours endurance classic in 1969. The Lola chassis number associated with this T70 MKII Spyder – S142/22 – was originally allocated to a T142 Formula 5000 single-seater which is known to have contested some fifty-two races from 1969 – 1975. The late owner who acquired the sports racer in a somewhat forlorn, crash damaged condition during 1997 was under the impression that it had passed through the hands of Eagle Racing of Sussex and may have contained some parts transplanted across from the monoposto. Determined to make the T70 MKII Spyder race ready once more, he started work on the tub, engine, gearbox, pedal box and suspension components but sadly succumbed to illness. Entrusted to Loaded Gunn Racing by his heirs, the Wiltshire-based engineering firm and sports prototype manufacturer set about finishing the project to their own exacting standards.

Not long completed, the renovation took over a decade in total. Built by Nick Adams Race Engines, the fresh Chevrolet 350 V8 features a wet sump, total loss charge system, sidedraught carburettors and angled spark plug heads. Said to produce 440bhp @ 6,800rpm, it is allied to a refurbished Hewland LG500 4-speed gearbox with Salisbury-type plated limited-slip differential. Boasting a formidable (and competitive) power to weight ratio of 550bhp per tonne, the Lola has a current Historic Technical Passport for FIA events which remains valid until December 31st 2035. All period components used in the build were crack tested (uprights, wheels etc) prior to fitment. A custom motorsport wiring loom was installed together with the following new parts: a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system (including the manifolds and silencer add-ons), FIA-compliant bag tank, cooling system (plus associated plumbing / pipework), Koni steel body dampers / springs and Dunlop CR65 race tyres. The fibreglass bodywork is understood to comprise a circa 50:50 mixture of period and modern pieces. Deemed to accord with the model’s 1965 specification, this stunning T70 MKII Spyder is eligible for a host of prestigious events. On the button and ready to race, it comes complete with history file (receipts / invoices, dyno printout etc) and the aforementioned FIA HTP papers.

1919 Stutz Series G Touring Car

Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: BF 4178 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 3605

61

Despite ceasing Works racing activities at the end of 1915, Stutz continued to market its products on the basis of their high performance until well into the next decade. Flush with cash following its floatation on the New York Stock Exchange during 1916, the Indianapolis-based firm was able to design its own engine for the first time. Debuting for 1917, the resultant 360ci (5.9 litre) four-cylinder 16-valve powerplant was freer revving and more potent than the proprietary Wisconsin unit it supplanted. Bearcat aside, the rest of the Stutz range sat on a 10ft 10in wheelbase (the same as W.O. Bentley’s 3 Litre and 4½ Litre models) and comprised Roadster, Close Coupled, Touring and Coupe variants. Frustrated by various shareholder machinations, Harry C. Stutz left the company which bore his name in 1919 but not before the introduction of the Series G. Featuring an electric starter, dual ignition, three-speed transaxle and electric lighting, the Stutz was more technologically advanced than many of its European contemporaries. With an impressive 80hp @ 2,400rpm and copious torque, it was considerably faster too. Costing four times as much as a Ford Model T, it is perhaps no surprise that total Stutz sales for 1919 reputedly amounted to just 1,544 cars.

Built to right-hand drive specification, chassis 3605 is understood to have remained in its native land until 2006. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Stutz has been unused of late and is now in need of recommissioning. Capable of accommodating seven people, if the occasional seats in its Dual Cowl Tourer coachwork are employed, ‘BF 4178’ is nicely detailed with a Motometer, wood-rimmed steering wheel, running board mounted horn, split windscreen, drum headlights and wire wheels. A decidedly rare, powerful and imposing American Vintage Tourer with a ‘bloody thump’ exhaust note to shame a WO Bentley! What’s not to like? Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and paperwork file.

1989 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth

The centre-fold star of the August, 1996, edition of Max Power

Estimate: £26,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: F73 UVX MOT: September 2026

Chassis No: WFBFXXGBBFJS32551

The sight of rival manufacturers reaping the rewards of successful circuit racing programmes prompted Ford to renew its alliance with engine builder Cosworth to create the eponymous Sierra RS Cosworth. Assembly of the minimum 5,000 required for Group A homologation commenced in June, 1986, at Ford’s Genk plant in Belgium, some being built to the even more highly-tuned RS500 specification. Based on the three-door bodyshell, the RS combined the 1,993cc Pinto engine’s cylinder block with a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods. Topping it off was a Cosworth-developed, twin-camshaft, 16-valve cylinder head fed by a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger. In standard road trim, the RS Cosworth produced 204bhp. The good looks and tremendous performance of the Sapphire Cosworth made it a boy racer’s dream, but few young customisers could afford one new. This one, however, was modified early in life and represents a rare but highly accomplished example of period customising trends. Its modifications started when it was a demonstrator with an alarm and ICE company in Canvey Island, which fitted a Clifford alarm and immobiliser, plus assorted other market-leading security and audio equipment. Further alterations included the Zinc Yellow paint (an Escort Convertible colour), 17in TSW Evo wheels, and the lowered, stiffened Spax suspension. It boasts an engine tuned to 360bhp by Blue Sprint Motorsport, with sideexit exhausts, plus a custom interior featuring a Sierra 4x4 dash, a Ford RS Motorsport steering wheel, and Recaro race seats. Externally, it has been partially detrimmed and received a twin headlamp conversion. In the mid-1990s, the Sierra was bought by a Cosworth specialist in Croydon, who gifted it to his eighteen-year-old son. In the son’s ownership, it was a star of the August, 1996, Max Power magazine. Not long afterwards, the Sierra was placed into dry storage and has only just re-emerged in timewarp condition. Extraordinarily well-preserved, it is ready to be enjoyed again following a brake overhaul and general recommissioning, and is sold with an old-style V5.

1953 Bentley R-Type Drophead Coupe

1 of just 25 R-Type chassis clothed to Design No 99

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: NLX 698 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B380SR

From mid-1951, a larger, more powerful and torquey 4566cc capacity six-cylinder unit was used to power both Rolls-Royce and Bentley equivalent models. An obvious evolution of its MKVI predecessor, the Bentley R-Type was introduced at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. Switching from riveted to welded frame construction at chassis B349TO, the newcomer featured independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes (hydraulic front / rod rear). Powered by a ‘big bore’ 4566cc straight-six inlet-over-exhaust engine allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the R-type was a surprisingly strong performer, able to reach more than 100mph. A sporting and yet a very refined owner-driver model, which could cover long distances in great comfort, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its high-speed handling and well-appointed interior. The model remained in production until 1955 by which time some 2,320 are thought to have been made (although, only 303 of those wore coachbuilt bodies).

Park Ward was founded in 1919 and clothed their first Rolls-Royce model the following year. After producing bodies for a variety of manufacturers in the early 1920s, the company became increasingly associated with W O Bentley’s new business, manufacturing their chassis near to the Crewe factory at Cricklewood whilst at the same time perfecting the technology to supply Rolls-Royce with all-steel saloon bodies. Bought by Rolls-Royce in 1939, it merged with H. J. Mulliner & Co. in 1961 to form Mulliner Park Ward.

A decidedly rare motorcar, ‘NLX 698’ (with body number D 95) is understood to be one of just twenty five Bentley R-Type chassis to be clothed by Park Ward to Design Number 99. A handsome four-seater Drophead Coupe with manual transmission, power roof and flowing wings, it was singularly expensive (especially when compared to a contemporary Aston Martin or Jaguar). According to Bernard King’s Bentley R-Type, chassis number B380SR was supplied new to a Brigadier P. O. G. Wakeman of Tripe and Wakeman Ltd, being delivered in April 1953. The coachwork was originally finished in Midnight Blue over Shell Grey, as it is now.

In current family ownership since 2012 and with just 3 former keepers, the car has been treated to much expenditure during this period with work carried out including: new hydraulic pump and rams for the blue hood, re-conditioning of the rear shock absorbers, oil filter conversion, rear axle refresh with Continental crown and pinion, road wheel refurbishment, new stainless steel exhaust to Continental design, new radiator with surround re-chromed,

new stainless steel bumpers by Jack Barclay and an engine overhaul by Richard Webb including replacement of a damaged block. In addition, subtle upgrades to enhance use in modern road conditions include the fitting of an electric fuel pump, rev counter, LED upgrade to the reversing lamps, third brake light and rear fog light conversion.

Offered with a history file that includes invoices, a Bentley handbook and workshop manual, together with old-style and current Swansea V5c documents, this surely represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a scarce and very elegant coachbuilt R-Type.

1934 Riley 9hp Imp ‘Special’

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: SAA 27 MOT: October 2026

Chassis No: 1MP6025492

Originally built to Imp specification, this charming Riley special was registered ‘ALJ 454’ in Bournemouth on December 1st, 1934, and saw action early in its life, participating in the Lawrence Cup Trial (year unknown) and in the Riley Motor Club’s “24” event of 1935. A photograph of the car in the Lawrence Cup appears in G. N. Georgano’s A History of Sports Cars, and may also be found online. A photograph is understood to exist from 1952 of the car in good order, but in 1955 it was for sale with the Northfield Garage (John T. Gilman) of Northfield Road, Long Eaton, Nottingham, as a “Riley Imp chassis c/w wheels, axles, headlamps, steering and radiator.” For £50, the buyer was Mr. A. R. Bance of Bordon, Hampshire. It was then reregistered ‘SAA 27’ and rebuilt into its present form, with a 12/4 engine and riveted aluminium sports body constructed round a neat ash frame. The engine change required the gearbox to be moved back, along with the shortening of the torque tube.

From Mr. Bance – understood to have actually been relatives Ralph and Maurice Bance – it was sold to Len Luffman, who kept it in daily use around Bordon, before it was transferred to an owner in Manchester. In long-term ownership from 2000 to 2024, the Riley’s wheels were refurbished in 2003, twin SU carburettors replaced its earlier Zeniths in 2010, the front axle was overhauled with rebushed kingpins and a needle-roller conversion in 2012, a spin-on oil filter conversion was performed in 2014, and new tyres were fitted in 2020. Equipped with Girling brakes and a double-dipping headlamp conversion, ‘SAA 27’ remains in fine order and presents as a charismatic and genuinely historic example of the type of P.V.T. specials that were so popular post-war. Its history file contains the V5C, invoices back to the 1950s (including the sales invoice from the Northfield Garage), much correspondence, MOTs back to the 1980s, and photographs of the chassis in the 1950s.

1984 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole

1 of just 152 RHD examples

Reg No: B464 XOO MOT: Exempt Chassis No: ZFFLDC000052675

Notable as Ferrari’s last mid-engined 2+2-seater, the Mondial was introduced at the March 1980 Geneva Salon. Styled by Pierangelo Andreani and Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, its slatted side vents presaged those of the Testarossa and 348. Significantly more expensive than its two-seater 308 GTB sibling, the Mondial shared the same 2926cc ‘Flat Plane Crankshaft’ alloy V8 engine and five-speed manual transmission. Arriving in 1982, the Mondial Quattrovalvole featured a revised F105A powerplant with (as its name suggested) four valves per cylinder. Credited with developing 240bhp / 188lbft, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 149mph. Produced in far fewer numbers than today’s Ferraris, just 152 of the 1,145 Mondial QV Coupes made were to right-hand drive specification. Finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa with Magnolia leather upholstery, chassis 052675 was supplied new by Lancaster Ferrari of Colchester on August 15th 1984. Regularly main dealer and specialist serviced at 1,108, 3,054, 9,265, 16,374 and 21,378 miles, the Mondial QV underwent a speedometer change at 23,154 miles. Thereafter, the 2+2-seater accrued further maintenance stamps at 6,488, 9,846, 17,585, 20,680, 22,191 and 25,351 miles. Involved in a minor accident shortly after passing its 2007 MOT test at 29,702 miles, the Ferrari was written off by its then insurer due to the need for a new outer front wing, bumper and headlight assembly. Taking possession that same year, the vendor was unperturbed by the non-structural damage and soon had the car repaired using second-hand parts. Thereafter he entrusted ‘B464 XOO’ to NB Classic Restoration of Bedford where it was treated to a photographically documented bodywork refurbishment and respray. Visually updated with a Mondial 3.2 grille, bumpers and later alloy wheels, the 2+2-seater was fitted with new cambelts some four years and 300 miles ago (the replacement odometer currently shows 30,970 miles). Idling smoothly during our recent photography session, this rare and much underrated Prancing Horse is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and tool roll.

Reg No: WNU 859F MOT: Exempt Chassis No: MAS2420095

In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the brand new MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, ADO16 was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas, Austin, and MG the AD016 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC’s policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. The original MkI models were distinctive for their use of Hydrolastic suspension. Unlike almost all of its competitors, the AD016 featured front-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive. The MkI Austin/Morris 1100 was available, initially, only as a four-door saloon. Offered as a single family owned example, this 1100 Saloon retains its original engine and gearbox and registers a genuine c.93,000 miles on its odometer with accompanying history to document it. This particular example has been garaged since 1994 but still rolls freely despite the 21 years of storage. Supplied with a history file including a variety of invoices, MOT certificates and an original V5 document.

Reg No: OTW 6D MOT: Exempt Chassis No: P170350BW

For many, the definitive Jaguar sports Saloon, the MkII was unveiled to the public at the Earls Court Motor Show, London on 21 October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque’s first monocoque bodyshell design which was to set the tone for the coming decade. Equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well-located live leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle, servo-assisted four wheel 12-inch disc brakes and recirculating ball steering, the model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar’s race-proved and five times Le Mans winning, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine.

Restored from a bare metal shell in 2002, this automatic transmission example appears well cared for since and is finished with Golden Sand paintwork. The interior, retrimmed in 2021, is said to boast a very good, veneered dash, with caramel leather seats and a fresh carpet set, with the benefit of added sound deadening to make the ride even more refined. We understand that photographic evidence is present within the bound history file. Upgraded to power-assisted steering in 2017, the carburettors were overhauled in 2021 and the gearbox oil changed at this time. Offered with a collection of old MOTs, tax discs and invoices, there is also an original Jaguar service policy slip and a current V5c document.

1954 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346

Reg No: PFJ 698 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CHSM 342729

Introduced in 1952, the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 marked the company’s confident return to the executive-class saloon market. Powered by a smooth 3.4-litre six-cylinder engine coupled to a four-speed synchromesh gearbox, it provided quiet and flexible performance with the restrained elegance typical of the marque. Buyers in period valued its craftsmanship, quality materials and dignified road manners, making it a credible rival to offerings from Jaguar, Daimler and Rover. This 1954 example, registration PFJ 698, is finished in black over light grey with a red leather interior that displays gentle age and patina consistent with long-term care. The walnut veneers and brightwork present well, while the engine bay appears tidy and in generally well-kept order. Recent maintenance has included a water-pump overhaul and an earlier brake service, and the car is understood to run and drive.

A “Best in Class” winner at the 2015 Armstrong Siddeley Owners Club National Rally, PFJ 698 is accompanied by an extensive history file containing past invoices, ownership diaries and original handbooks documenting its use and upkeep over many years. Presenting as a well-cared-for and useable example of the model, this 346 combines attractive colours, sound provenance and recognised club success. It offers an inviting opportunity to acquire a refined post-war saloon of quiet presence, capable touring manners and enduring period charm.

1999 Mercedes-Benz SL280

One former keeper and 58,800 miles from new

Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: T58 PAG MOT: September 2026

Chassis No: WDB1290592F176127

Finished in the stunning combination of Green / Black Metallic with Helios Soft Nappa leather upholstery, chassis WDB1290592F176127 was completed to order 0853732976. Notably well-equipped, its specification included: a Panoramic glass hardtop, Black fabric hood, wood / leather steering wheel, wood gear lever / selector gate, headlamp wash / wipe, rear seats, Xenon headlights, heated front seats and folding door mirrors etc. Supplied new via Mercedes-Benz of Hull. ‘T58 PAG’ was returned to them for maintenance eleven times by its original purchaser up to 56,849 miles. Entering the current (second) ownership in 2016, the SL280 was entrusted to Mercedes-Benz of Grimsby for its most recent main dealer service at 58,463 miles (circa 400 miles ago). Drawn to the car because of its condition and history, the seller has been diligent about its upkeep. Garaged throughout his tenure, an accompanying three-page summary documents the attention the Mercedes-Benz has received over the past nine years. Conscious that other commitments have prevented him from using the SL280 as intended the vendor has decided to make it available for a new custodian. Pleasingly retaining its original dealer issued number plates, this pampered and desirable second-facelift R129 is accompanied by a UK V5C Registration Document, book pack (owner’s manual, service record), first aid kit and touch-up sticks. Worthy of close inspection.

70 1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

Subject to a photographically documented £100,000-plus restoration less than 5,000 miles ago

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000*

Reg No: HDA 824J MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 2R 14850

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate reveals that ‘HDA 824J’ was manufactured on October 12th, 1970, and despatched on November 30th to its original dealer, British Leyland New York. It left the factory in left-hand drive specification, with a 4.2-litre engine and manual gearbox, and was painted Light Blue with a Dark Blue interior and a Blue soft-top. Intriguingly, however, it was registered for British roads ion August 1st, 1972, and it is not known if it was ever actually registered in New York; Series IIs were known to be a hard sell when Series III V12 E-types were introduced in 1971, but it was perhaps most likely that the original owner was an American who migrated to Britain, or a British expatriate returning home. It is thought the subsequent right-hand drive conversion was performed by British Leyland not long after the Jaguar was reimported.

The history of ‘HDA 824J’ becomes quite well documented from the 1990s, when it was restored by marque specialist Classic Motor Cars for some £30,000, the work including a repaint in Regency Red, reupholstery in Magnolia hide, and upgrades such as a five-speed gearbox and stainless-steel exhaust. Fitted with 72-spoke chrome wire wheels and a new mohair hood and tonneau cover, the E-type’s restoration reached completion in 1996, at which point the odometer showed 23,451 miles. Thereafter, it appears to have been meticulously maintained although receiving only very sparing use. It was sold through Classic Motor Cars in 2004 to an owner who used it only for “light, local, dry miles,” such that when it was sold to the present owner at auction in 2011, it had covered only 6,500 miles since its 1990s restoration.

The new owner enjoyed it as it was for a time, entrusting some small maintenance tasks to Classic & Sports Cars Essex, such as a carburettor rebuild in 2012 and works in 2013 including fitment of an original Jaguar fuel pump, the replacement of the clutch slave cylinder and a radiator

recore. New tyres were purchased from Vintage Tyres for £855 in 2014. The same year, he decided he would like the car repainted in its present Indigo Blue, but upon stripping it down several bodywork faults were discovered. Classic & Sports Cars Essex then embarked upon an extensive restoration from October, 2014, to June, 2016, which saw the engine, gearbox and rear suspension all overhauled, while the body was taken back to the bare metal, with all the panels properly repaired and the gaps carefully adjusted, with new door skins being made in true craftsman-like fashion on an English wheel. Sixteen coats of paint were then applied, with the underside finished with a bitumastic stone-proof coating, before the interior was retrimmed in Biscuit hide with Wilton carpets. A selection of high-quality photographs documented the process from beginning to end.

Upon completion of the work, the E-type was pressed back into use, being returned to Classic & Sports Cars Essex for the fitment of 123 electronic ignition and new fans in 2017, a service in 2019 and refurbishment of the rear bumper in 2020. More recently, maintenance has been entrusted to independent Jaguar specialists Epping Classic Cars, including a carburettor overhaul in 2020 and a general service in 2023. During the present ownership, expenditure with Classic & Sports Cars Essex exceeded £73,000, of which £60,000 was spent during the 2014-16 renovation. With occasional recourse to other specialists, total expenditure exceeded £100,000. Maintained in excellent condition throughout, the E-type is sold with an impressive paperwork file including the current V5C, a J.D.H.T. certificate, the 2011 auction catalogue, MOT certificates from 1996 to 2013 and 2016 to 2024, tax discs from 1999 to 2013, many invoices from the present ownership and some other records of maintenance back to the millennium. Fewer than 5,000 miles have been covered since 2016, and the Jaguar will be detailed, serviced and MOTed prior to the sale.

1942 White M16 Half-Track

Multiple

Gun Motor Carriage

Estimate: £55,000 - £65,000*

Reg No: OSU 898 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 294417

It was a Frenchman, Adolphe Kégresse, who gave rise to the U.S. Army half-tracks of the Second World War. Kégresse went to work in Russia, where in 1905 he was placed in charge of the imperial garage of Czar Nicholas II. The Czar was frustrated by his cars’ inability to cope with the harsh Russian winters, leading the young Adolphe to develop the Kégresse tracked system to allow them to traverse heavy snow. Returning to France to escape Russia’s impending revolution, Kégresse went to work for Citroën, and in 1925 his Citroën-Kégresses became famous for completing the first successful north-south motor crossing of the African continent, from Colomb-Béchar to Cape Town. After Citroën went bankrupt in 1934, Kégresse commenced work with American clients, and so the U.S. Army half-tracks came into being. Quite a bewildering array of M-series and T-series half-tracks were produced for the U.S. Army in the 1940s, with orders being fulfilled by the biggest truck-makers such as White, Diamond T, and International Harvester. They satisfied a wide number of rôles, including artillery transport, reconnaissance and infantry support.

Based on the large M3 model, the M16 Multiple-Gun Motor Carriage came ready-equipped with four .50 calibre Browning M2 machine guns in an M45 quad mount, a product of the W. L. Maxson Corporation. At 21ft. 4in. long and 7ft. 1in. wide, it weighed 9-10 tons and was powered by a six-cylinder petrol engine said to produce 128 horsepower, giving a claimed top speed of 42 miles per hour. Built during 1943 and 1944, it is reckoned 2,877 M16s were built by the White Motor Company, though many more were converted from pre-existing M13 and T10 models, bringing total production to an estimated 3,550. The M16 played a part in many of the Allies’ successful campaigns in the later years of the war, including the Liberation of Italy, Operation Overlord and the Ardennes Offensive, with a small number supplied under the Lend-Lease agreement to the British and French armies. Post-war, the M16 served with American and South Korean forces in the Korean War, but was gradually withdrawn from service after 1951 as the M19 superseded it, and it was officially

classified as obsolete in 1958. Our example was first registered with the D.V.L.A. in 1987 and is now with its seventh British keeper, following a notable period of long-term ownership from 1999 to 2018, during which it was comprehensively restored. It has benefitted from much maintenance and improvement in the hands of the present keeper, who has owned it since 2020 and describes it as “A very nice, well-maintained example that starts and drives well.” The recent work has included an engine overhaul with new crankshaft main bearings, a new oil pump and a new old-stock water pump; and a brake overhaul with a recommissioned master cylinder, new hoses, relined shoes, and wheel cylinders honed and equipped with new seals. New hub seals and gaiters have been fitted, the wheel bearings have been inspected and repacked, and the Hydrovac, carburettor and distributor have all been rebuilt. The tracks were removed and the suspension dismantled so any worn parts could be replaced, and new drive sprockets and return idlers were fitted. The half-track was then repainted and further refurbished with new canvas and seat covers. The Maxson turret is said to work as it should, and the guns are very accurate reproductions. Discreet indicators have been fitted for road use, and included in the sale are radio antennae, service history, invoices and maintenance manuals, plus spares such as spark plugs, points and condensers. Presents excellently, and both running and driving very well during the recent photography session, this M16 is ready for appearances at a host of events next year!

1920 Stutz Series H Bearcat

Current family ownership since 1991

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: DS 8901 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: H6216

An American motoring pioneer, Harry Clayton Stutz built his first car – ‘Old Hickory’ – in 1898. Still only twenty-nine when he conceived the American Motor Car Co’s ‘Tourist’ model seven years later, the Ansonia, Ohio-born native served as Chief Engineer / Designer and Factory Manager to the Marion Motor Co from 1906-1910. Responsible for Marion’s participation in the Indiana Trophy, G&J 100-Mile, Wheeler / Schebler 300-mile and Brighton Beach, Brooklyn 24-hours, he founded the Stutz Auto Parts Co to sell his own transaxle units during 1910. Famously taken from drawing board to start line in just five weeks, the very first Stutz motorcar finished the inaugural Indianapolis 500, held during 1911, in eleventh place overall at an average speed of almost 62.5 mph. Ironically, it might have placed higher had its Stutz transaxle not been so demanding on tyres. Co-founding the Ideal Motor Car Co with Henry F. Campbell that same year, the fledgling manufacturer began by making ‘duplicates of The Car that Made Good in a Day with absolutely the same material, workmanship and design’. Thus, the first production Bear Cat (later Bearcat) differed little from the machine that distinguished itself at The Brickyard with a similarly lightweight, leaf-sprung chassis, proprietary Wisconsin 389ci (6.4 litre) four-cylinder engine, three-speed transaxle, exposed petrol tank, rear wheel brakes, twin bucket seats and precious little bodywork!

Winning no fewer than twenty-five of the thirty races they contested in 1912, Stutz’s Bearcat-comprising ‘White Squadron’ were also victorious in the 1913 and 1915 National Championships. Stutz officially withdrew from competition that same October but not before (a) Erwin ‘Cannon Ball’ Baker had driven a Bearcat from San Diego to New York in a mere eleven days, seven hours and fifteen feats (a remarkable feat which still inspires Cannonball Runners today) and (b) another pair had claimed the top two steps of the podium at the 350-mile Astor Cup with average speeds of 102.6mph and 102.2mph respectively. Progressively evolved through different series, the Bearcat gained an electric starter and lighting set in 1913 (Series E) and a more powerful 360ci (5.9 litre) engine of Stutz’s own design four years later (Series S). Introduced in mid-1919,

the Series H sported the same right-hand drive layout and external gear / brake levers as its predecessors but was somewhat easier to access (thanks to ‘cut away’ cockpit sides). A new ‘Detachable Head’ engine debuted in 1921 bringing greater power and reliability. However, the Bearcat’s uncompromising nature and scant weather protection saw it cease to exist as a model in its own right some twelve months later. A notably early exponent of the ‘Light Chassis, Big Engine’ formula, the Stutz was among America’s first true sportscars. It also enjoyed a spirited period rivalry with Mercer’s similar Raceabout such that the taunt about being ‘Nuts to drive a Stutz’ was met with the riposte ‘There’s nothing worser than a Mercer’.

Reputedly on display at the Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum, near Lewes for several years, Car Number H6216 has been in the current family ownership since 1991. Lighter than standard thanks to the adoption of a conventional three-speed manual gearbox and back axle (in place of the original transaxle), it has also been uprated with a later Stutz ‘Detachable Head’ engine. Thought to have been done Stateside, the modifications have resulted in a car which the vendor deems to be ‘disconcertingly fast and not just for an Edwardian design but full stop’. Intriguingly, another Stutz Bearcat listed as ‘H6216’ sold in America for $156,800 during 2022. However, that example was subject to a saleroom notice which declared it was “titled as model year 1918 by its Car Number 10303” (the same number appearing on its dashboard / ID plaque). Presenting as an older restoration, ‘DS 8901’ is currently running and driving but would benefit from further recommissioning subject to any proper usage (especially given the speed on tap). A rare, desirable and exhilarating American icon.

1934 Talbot 65/75 Drophead Foursome Coupe

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: YG 7322 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 36539

While the British Talbot was part of the larger Anglo-French SunbeamTalbot-Darracq organisation, it was struggling to stay in business when Georges Roesch, a Swiss automotive engineer, returned to the company in 1925 and worked under Louis Coatalen at the Talbot Motor Works in North Kensington to develop an innovative six-cylinder push-rod engine. Roesch’s return transformed the business’s prospects leading to a successful run of well engineered and handsome cars. Arguably the handsomest Drophead Coupe design ever to grace a Roesch Talbot, the few surviving examples of Carlton’s `Foursome’ coachwork are highly sought after. Supplied new via the Thornton Engineering Co Ltd of Bradford during May 1934, ‘YG 7322’ owes its conservation to the Marsden family. Dry stored in a purpose-built garage on the Isle of Wight for most of their custodianship (1943-1988), chassis 36539 was subsequently acquired by marque specialist Ian Polson who fitted a 2.3-litre six-cylinder engine, pre-selector gearbox, steering column and torque tube from a more powerful BA75 sports saloon on behalf of David Jones. Purchased from the latter by David Thomson in February 1994, the 65/75 had had much mechanical work done but was cosmetically untouched. Entrusted to John Foy Ltd, its well-preserved `Foursome’ coachwork was stripped to bare metal and treated to ash frame repairs before being repainted dark green and a new hood for the ingenious three-position roof fabricated. Returned to Ian Polson for maintenance by next keeper Gideon Hudson, it then formed part of his private collection being regularly serviced by in-house engineers. Sold next by the way of H&H in 2014, the car was subject to numerous alterations with much money being spent during his tenure including a through engine and pre-select gearbox overhaul before it was again sold by us in 2020. During his ownership certain previous modifications deemed out of keeping with the car’s age have been undone and the upholstery replaced with modern leather in the interests of style and comfort. New Blockley tyres were fitted and the shock absorbers and suspension geometry overhauled. Indeed, the vendor advises the entire car has been fettled and improved where required and its is said to be in fine running order and very reliable. This rare and decidedly elegant Post-Vintage Thoroughbred is offered with numerous restoration invoices and photographs plus assorted old MOT certificates.

1975 BMW 2002 tii

No Reserve*

Reg No: JPM 99N MOT: November 2026

Chassis No: 2770916

By the mid-1960s BMW perceived a market for a smaller two-door version of its four-door ‘New Class’ executive saloon car. The end product resulted in the 1966 production 1600-2. The larger displacement 2002, directly derived from this model in 1968, would go on to establish a new reputation for BMW as a maker of high-quality affordable performance vehicles which stands today. BMW certainly saved the best 02 until last with the tii, launched in 1971. It boasted a fuel-injected two-litre engine delivering 130bhp and could motor on to a top speed of 118mph. It remained in production until the 02 series was replaced with the E21 3-Series in 1975.

Our 1975 2002 tii now looks phenomenal, but was discovered by its restorer in 2003 languishing in a garden in Great Clacton, Essex. Painted Fjord Blue, it appeared sound but had severe structural rot, and the new owner decided to restore it in the style of the famous 2002 Turbo –Europe’s first turbocharged production car, of which only 1,672 were built from 1973 to 1975.

After stripping the car to the shell and completing the necessary welding, the owner fitted a fibreglass Turbo body kit to a “better finish” than BMW’s own, and had the car repainted Turbo Polaris Silver. The engine overhaul by Coltec Ltd. involved the block being rebored and refaced, with new pistons and valves fitted and an uprated Kent Performance camshaft, plus an upgrade to electronic injection. The suspension was stiffened and lowered, and a five-speed gearbox and limited-slip differential from an E21 5-Series were installed. Inside, replacement front seats from an E30 325i Sport and rear seats from an E24 635CSi were fitted. A dyno test in 2014 revealed the engine produced around 143bhp at 4600rpm.

The restoration was completed in 2015, and the BMW was featured in the January, 2017, issue of Practical Classics. It is offered for sale with the current V5C, many invoices, some MOT history and the Practical Classics feature issue.

1962 Aston Martin DB4 ‘Series IV’ Vantage

1 of 1, the unique Roman Purple car

Estimate: £375,000 - £425,000*

Reg No: 550 HYT MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: DB4/973/R

“The best all round car, however, is probably the Series IV Vantage with the Special Series engine, before the car put on weight to become the Series V. It has all the merits of the early car, but its engine by now is almost bomb-proof” (Robert Edwards, ‘Aston Martin –Ever the Thoroughbred’).

There is a case to be made for the Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Vantage being among the marque’s best kept secrets. Notable as the first Aston Martin design on which the word ‘Vantage’ was used to signify a distinct model (rather than a state of engine tune), it was only in production between March and October 1962. Sharing the same eponymous visage as the later DB4 Series V Vantage and DB5 complete with faired-in headlamps, seven-bar grille and reprofiled bonnet scoop, the DB4 Series IV Vantage was some 3.5-inches shorter, 1.5-inches lower and several hundred pounds lighter than either of its successors. An altogether nimbler and more engaging machine, it offered a driving experience that some ranked second only to the DB4 GT.

In comparison to a standard DB4 Series IV, the Vantage boasted not just iconic James Bond-esque styling but also a significantly reworked ‘Special Series’ engine. As well as an extra (third) SU carburettor and boxed plenum chamber, the unit benefited from an improved inlet manifold, higher compression ratio (9:1), revised distributor advance curve, special pistons, larger inlet / exhaust valves and hotter plugs. Utilising the same ‘big sump’ bottom-end as its lesser siblings, the enhanced 3670cc DOHC straight-six was credited with developing some 266bhp and 255lbft of torque (an increase of 26bhp and 15lbft respectively). Bringing a welcome extra dose of performance, it was allied to four-speed all-synchromesh manual transmission. True to Aston Martin tradition, an ‘ordinary’ DB4 Series IV could be ordered with a Special Series powerplant (just as five DB4 Series IV Vantages received the ‘twin plug’ GT motor).

Based around a steel platform chassis equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a trailing arm located ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the svelte four-seater was bodied using Carrozzeria Touring’s patented ‘Superleggera’ technique whereby its hand-crafted aluminium panels were affixed to a latticework superstructure of small diameter steel tubing. Proving as exclusive as it was expensive, the DB4 Series IV Vantage accounted for just forty-five sales during its eight months on the assembly lines

(chassis DB4/951/R – chassis DB4/995/R). Interestingly, DB4 GT production amounted to seventy-five cars (albeit split across Series I - V). Although, readily confused with its less wieldy siblings, the DB4 Series IV Vantage has long been appreciated by the cognoscenti.

A London tailors that became the UK’s biggest uniform supplier whilst diversifying into property and financial services (and which today survives as the trillion dollar INVESCO fund), H. Lotery & Co Ltd were the first owner of chassis DB4/973/R under their ‘Wilburton Investment Trust Ltd’ subsidiary. First registered as ‘PPA 2’ on June 1st 1962 (a number plate which had previously graced various Bentleys), the Aston Martin was supplied new by Brooklands of Bond Street and specified with Roman Purple paintwork, Blue / Grey leather upholstery, a heated rear window, 3.31:1 rear axle ratio, electric windows and chrome wire wheels.

Synonymous with the marque’s then owner David Brown who had his own cars painted in the same distinctive hue, Roman Purple sets off the Vantage’s lines beautifully and would have cut quite the dash on the streets of 1960s London! Known to have subsequently belonged to L. Ash Esq of ‘Bohemia’ on the Lincolnshire coast and James Alexander McCall Esq of Merstham, Surrey, the Vantage was acquired by patent agent and former Isle of Man TT racer James Bridge-Butler Esq from Cherrywood Automobiles on December 4th 1969 for the princely sum of £1,250. Amazingly, Mr Bridge-Butler would retain chassis DB4/973/R until his passing nearly fifty-two years later.

Initially entrusted to HR Owen for a cylinder head overhaul, the Aston Martin was fitted with a factory reconditioned replacement ‘Special Series’ engine during June 1970 (370/1003/ SS being supplanted by the current unit 370/1171/SS). Despatched to renowned marque specialist R.S. Williams later that same year, they would continue to fettle it on and off for the next five decades. Indeed, the last 5,000 miles or so have seen the Vantage benefit from attention to its ignition system, fuel system, triple SU carburettors, brake system, engine mounts, timing chains, gearbox mounts, front suspension (kingpins, anti-roll bar, Koni shock absorbers), rear suspension (RSW springs), rear axle pinion seal / flange, gearbox mounts, clutch cover / plate, driver’s seat, electric windows and cooling system (uprated to RSW specification).

Although, the DB4 Series IV had been subject to a bodywork restoration and repaint by DCH Autocraft of Beverley some twenty years earlier, it was not as smart as other members of the vendor’s Aston Martin collection when he took possession in July 2021. Sent to Project Heaven Restoration Ltd of Apethorpe some twelve months later, ‘550 HYT’ was stripped to bare metal and treated to a host of structural and panel repairs before being repainted in Roman Purple. The process took over two years and cost more than £52,000. The same Northamptonshire company were also responsible for replacing the engine’s water pump and torsional vibration damper plus carrying out a service during June 2025 (£4,108.81).

Pleasingly retaining its original, patinated leather upholstery, the four-seater is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, copy build record and history file dating back to the 1960s (including an intriguing letter from the manufacturer asking Mr Bridge-Butler if he has details of any previous owners). DB Aston Martins scarcely come any rarer, prettier of distinctively hued than this, the unique Roman Purple DB4 Series IV Vantage.

76 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

A remarkably well preserved example in single ownership in California from 1966 to 2015

Estimate: £12,000 - £16,000*

Reg No: GFX 574D MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 146765337

When it was last for sale, this car was described as “The best all-original Karmann Ghia you’ll find.” Ten years later, that probably still holds true. Completed on April 28th, 1966, and despatched to San Francisco, it was sold new through Wes Behel Motors of 805, El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, California, to local resident Jerome A. Kolkin, who is believed to have worked as a technical advisor for N.A.S.A.’s GEOS A satellite in 1965. Finished in Lotus White with Black leatherette upholstery, it came equipped with the $35.00 option of whitewall tyres, along with no-cost equipment such as a padded dash and sun visors, windshield washers, four-way flashers, an outside mirror, a dash clock and a passenger grab handle.

Mr. Kolkin was meticulous, amassing literature and making reams of notes while keeping the car in seemingly continuous use until well past the millennium. With his advancing years, he decided to sell it in 2015, and the new owner relocated to Britain before offering it for sale again. Preserved in a remarkable unrestored state, having “covered just over 108,000 miles on the dry roads of inland California,” it was bought by the present owner and subjected to some very light improvements, including a brake overhaul and the acquisition of floor mats to help conserve the original carpets. It has barely been driven since 2015. In addition to the original owner’s literature still being present in the Wes Behel wallet, including the instruction manual, service book, Bendix radio manual and customer’s receipt, the rest of the paperwork is phenomenal. Invoices from Mr. Kolkin’s ownership span the late 1960s to the early 2000s, and he amassed many collectible Volkswagen publications including the VW Karmann Ghia Gold Portfolio 1955-1974 and a 1993 copy of Dune Buggies & Hot VWs. There are many handwritten notes, plus some post-import invoices and MOT certificates, and a Volkswagen authenticity certificate. With only a light patina, the car’s condition is outstanding right down to its dealer-supplied number plate holders.

1960 Jaguar Mk. II 3.4 Saloon

Single family ownership from new!

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: 380 HYB MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 151126BW

The popularity of Mk. IIs has understandably seen many of them personalised and modified, or restored and restored again, so it is refreshing to find one which remains original to such a great degree – especially such an early example as this is. Extraordinarily, it has been in single-family ownership since the day it left the dealership. The Heritage Certificate confirms that Mist Grey with a Red interior is its original colour scheme, and with the 87,000 miles on the odometer believed to be the full mileage from new, it is not surprising that it has survived in such outstanding condition. Pleasingly retaining its original registration number from May, 1960, and always residing in Ilminster, Somerset, the Jaguar has never been fully restored but has been subject to sympathetic maintenance across its life, with a bare-metal respray performed some years ago. In 2022, the front suspension was removed to enable the replacement of the front crank seal and sump gaskets, and at the same time the car was serviced and fitted with a new water pump. Earlier invoices provide evidence of a brake overhaul, general servicing and other minor works.

The engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork and paint are described by the vendor as “very good” and the interior as “good,” and the car is accompanied by a tremendous history file. It includes all the original Jaguar-supplied documents such as the handbook, service book and warranty, as well as the buff logbook and later V5/V5C documents.

Impressively, there are also thirty MOT certificates dating back to 1980 which support the mileage being original. An excellent car for the discerning collector, this has to be one of the best Mk. IIs we have seen from the perspective of originality, and we can easily envisage it picking up preservation awards at Jaguar Drivers’ or Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club concours events.

78 2001 Bentley Arnage Le Mans Series

Estimate: £14,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: Y114 YTP MOT: April 2026

Chassis No: SCBLC31E91CH06468

Launched to celebrate Bentley’s return to the famous La Sarthe circuit after a seventy-one year hiatus with the EXP Speed 8 (which won its class), the limited edition Arnage Le Mans Series was differentiated from its more commonplace Red Label sibling via wider wheelarches, special 18-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, quad exhaust pipes, sports bumpers, vented front wings and Le Mans Series badging. Inside, the instruments bore bespoke dark green faces with ‘Le Mans Series’ logos to the speedometer, rev counter and centre console. ‘Winged B’ motifs adorned the door cappings and headrests, while a unique gear lever design and drilled pedals also featured. Powered by the same turbocharged 6.75 litre V8 engine (400bhp/619lbft) allied to automatic transmission as the Red Label, the limited edition model was similarly capable of 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and 155mph (governed). Only 62 of the 153 Arnage Le Mans Series cars built were to right-hand drive specification.

This right hand drive example is finished in Silver Storm with Slate hide upholstery and has covered a warranted c.84,000 miles. Only ever serviced at Bentley dealers or specialists it comes with a complete original book pack including three stamped service books together with MOT history dating back to 2009. Maintained by Harvey Wash (Rolls-Royce & Bentley Specialist) since acquisition by the vendor, we are informed that new head gaskets were fitted three years ago. Offered with a large history file, factory tool kit, full size spare wheel and current MOT to April 2026, this strictly limited edition Arnage is worthy of close inspection.

Chassis 931628 was delivered to Salmons & Sons on 18 March 1939 to receive its distinctive Drophead Coupe coachwork and was first registered CSG 739 on 28 April 1939 to an owner in the Edinburgh area. The car is known to have received an engine overhaul in 1991 at a cost of £1,600 and subsequently saw limited use while in long-term ownership between 1994 and 2018. Following acquisition by a later custodian, a sympathetic restoration was undertaken including coachwork repairs, a bare-metal repaint in white, undersealing of the chassis, a complete rewire with new loom and battery isolator, alternator conversion (the original dynamo remains with the car), a brake overhaul, new rear wheel bearings, new tyres, and extensive re-chroming. The interior was refreshed as required and a new maroon hood and headlining were trimmed and fitted. The work, completed in 2021, is supported by invoices exceeding £8,500. Since its last appearance with H&H, the current owner has further improved CSG 739 with the removal and refurbishment of both hubs, the fitting of new wheel bearings throughout, and attention to the ignition system, including a new coil and associated components, to ensure reliable running. Accompanied by a substantial history file containing numerous restoration photographs and invoices, past MOT certificates, an instruction manual, The Book of Rover, a reproduction workshop manual, a previous log book, current V5C, and a copy of Bill McCreath’s aforementioned book in which this very chassis features, the car is described by the vendor as “a good runner with smooth gear changes”. A rare opportunity to acquire one of very few surviving Salmons-bodied Rover 14 Drophead Coupés, with only three known owners in the past forty years and carefully maintained in recent times.

1924 Rolls-Royce Springfield 40/50hp Silver Ghost Piccadilly Roadster

Formerly the property of F1 World Champion Phil Hill

Estimate: £140,000 - £180,000*

Reg No: SV 9682

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 181 KF

The model upon which Rolls-Royce’s reputation as makers of ‘The Best Car in the World’ was founded, the 40/50hp debuted at the November 1906 London Motor Show. A somewhat conventional yet beautifully executed design, the newcomer was based around a massive ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, powerful rear wheel brakes and spiral-bevel final drive. Displacing 7036cc (7428cc from 1910), its superlatively smooth six-cylinder engine featured a seven-bearing crankshaft, full pressure lubrication and twelve spark plugs (fed via a dual magneto / coil ignition system). Allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, a three-speed gearbox was utilised from 1909 to 1913), the sidevalve unit proved both wonderfully torquey and eerily quiet. Possessing a legendary eye for detail, Henry Royce continued to develop the 40/50hp throughout its 18-year production life. Thus, late Silver Ghosts boasted considerably more horsepower (up from 48bhp at 1,250rpm to 80bhp at 2,250rpm) and higher top speeds than their earlier brethren.

Rolls-Royce of America Inc was established to bypass the swingeing import duty that had hitherto restricted its parent company’s transatlantic sales. Operating from factory premises in Springfield, Massachusetts, the new concern initially built carbon copies of the famous 40/50hp model. However, as time progressed so its product became more attuned to the US market. The beautifully wrought ladder frame chassis and enviably smooth 7428cc straight-six engine were little altered but later cars featured a three-speed, centre gearchange manual transmission and left-hand drive (interestingly just 600 or so of the 1,703 Springfield Silver Ghosts completed were to LHD specification). Designed to woo existing Packard, Cadillac and Pierce Arrow customers who had little truck with the idea of a chassis only purchase, a catalogued range of Rolls-Royce Custom Coachwork was soon made available. The various designs were given British names and subcontracted to the likes of Amesbury, Biddle & Smart, Holbrook, Locke, Merrimac, New Haven, Smith-Springfield and Willoughby.

Wonderfully extravagant, Merrimac’s Piccadilly Roadster could host four at a pinch (thanks to its fold-out ‘dickey’ seat) but sat on the same 3658mm wheelbase that other coachbuilders used to accommodate up to seven in comfort. The rakish body was barely taller than the voluptuous wings and the ‘peaked’ soft-top notably well integrated. Less over the top than the Bugatti Royale Edsers Roadster, the Piccadilly was nonetheless pure

visual theatre. Sources suggest that some 105 were made in period with most of those being fitted as replacement bodies. Those who specified Piccadilly Roadster coachwork from new included notable playboy turned recluse Howard Hughes.

According to its accompanying copy records, chassis 181-KF was originally built as a Four-Light Tilbury Sedan. Supplied new to J.M. Mann, the Silver Ghost then passed through the hands of E.D. Abbott, Roderick J. Watterston, Lawrence Hackett, Mr King, Phil Hill and Theodore E. Reich before being imported to the UK by marque specialist The Real Car Co in 2003. Thought to have been rebodied as a more formal Six-Light Town Car by George W. McNear of Brookline, Massachusetts during Mr Abbot’s tenure, the Phil Hill who owned the 40/50hp from 1967 – 1985 was none other than the ex-F1 World Champion! Having bought the Rolls-Royce six years after winning the title, a copy bill on file shows that he sold it Mr Reich for “$1 and other consideration”. Well versed in the Rolls-Royce and Bentley marques, the latter set about carefully recommissioning chassis 181-KF (which he believed to have covered just 30,000 or so miles at the time) before embarking upon trips to Seattle and Vancouver. Mr Reich also displayed the car at the internationally renowned Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance as well as using it to win a regional concours and take a 1st-in-class during what he described as “a difficult Postwar Silver Ghost class at the 1993(?) Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club Annual meet at Quail Lodge, Carmel Valley, CA”.

UK road registered by The Real Car Co as ‘SV 9682’ on June 16th 2003, they sold the Silver Ghost to R.A. Kilburn shortly thereafter who had it maintained by RR&B Garages of Bromsgrove. Other ‘known names’ appearing within the history file include D.H. Day, A.J. Glew and Ristes. Bought by David O’Connor through RR&B, the 40/50hp changed keepers once more before entering the current ownership. Custodian to numerous preand post-WW1 Silver Ghosts over the years (many of them prize winning), the seller took the ‘carbon copy’ Piccadilly Roadster body from another car in his collection and had it installed aboard chassis 181-KF. The reason for the swap being that the ex-Phil Hill machine was far lower mileage and more correct in terms of numbers matching mechanical componentry. The result is a highly presentable and capable Vintage Tourer with a great provenance. Starting readily and running well during our visit, the two-seater drove to and from the chosen photography location without missing a beat. The Rolls-Royce also completed a 250-mile run last year without incident and is due to be driven to IWM Duxford for the auction. Long known as a low mileage car and still showing just 37,800 miles to its odometer, this stunning Springfield Silver Ghost is worthy of close inspection. About as glamorous as Vintage Roadsters get, ‘SV 9682’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, period instruction book and history file.

1971 Bentley Corniche

Fixedhead Coupe

1 of just 47 MPW Coupés made

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: JYY 278J MOT: Exempt Chassis No: CBH10512

“The name Corniche has been chosen for the latest coachbuilt models because it symbolises their higher cruising speeds and their ability to cover greater distances with the minimum of fatigue for driver and passengers.” Rolls-Royce 1971

Introduced in March that year, the Corniche was a revised version of the Mulliner, Park Wardbodied two-door variants of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley T-Series saloons, themselves notable as the Crewe factory’s first unitary construction cars. In Corniche form Rolls-Royce’s well-tried 6.7-litre V8 produced around 10% more power than standard and proved capable of propelling the car to a top speed in excess of 120mph with sports car-beating acceleration to match. The model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and up-dated, it remained in production well into the 1990s. Between 1971 and 1977, Rolls-Royce built just 47 chrome bumper Bentley Corniche fixed head two door coupes, which were handbuilt at the Mulliner Park Ward premises in Willesden, each taking 6 months to produce. For much of the time that the Corniche was in production, a Bentley was regarded as little more than a slightly cheaper alternative to a Rolls-Royce. This famous marque had yet to re-establish its reputation as maker of some of the world’s fastest and most exciting sports saloons and Grand Tourers. Consequently, the Bentley Corniche was produced in much smaller numbers than its Rolls-Royce equivalent, despite being – arguably – the more handsome of the two. Up to 1984, when the Bentley Corniche was renamed ‘Continental’, only 151 had been sold compared to several thousand of the Rolls-Royce version! These rare Bentleys have become much sought after today.

This example, the third production Bentley Corniche built, was first registered on 24th June 1971. Following a full life and after 148,000 miles, the car was subjected to an almost £80,000 mechanical and ‘glass out’ body refurbishment by Nigel Sandell Ltd of Isleworth between 2012 and 2018. Between 2018 and 2020 a further £13,500 was spent on a full leather interior retrim in Savannah Beige, new carpets, new door seals, new wheel trims, hydraulic system overhaul and fine detailing. More recently an electronic ignition system with dry coil has been fitted, the oil filter changed to the more reliable spin-on type, all fluids changed and a Harvey Bailey handling kit installed. Now registering c.153,000 miles, the car is said to be “fully sorted”. Offered with substantial history file including invoices for the expenditure lavished upon it, we understand this rare Bentley will be driven to the sale.

1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 litre

Fixed Head Coupe

1 of just 374 ‘Series 1.5’ RHD cars made

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: TYT 12F MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1E21837

For many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch that they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque’s newer offerings some sixty-four years later. Allied to a monocoque passenger cell, the model’s tubular front sub-frame cradled a race proven 3781cc (later 4235cc) DOHC straight-six engine, independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering. While its back axle played host to a sophisticated coil-sprung set-up complete with inboard disc brakes. Never officially referred to as such by Jaguar, the so-called ‘Series 1.5’ cars appeared in late 1967. Drip fed a host of detail improvements prior to the Series 2’s official introduction the following October (including a more spacious cabin layout, redesigned convertible hood, larger capacity cooling system and boot hinge covers etc), they remain particularly sought after by enthusiasts. Decidedly rare, ‘home market’ Series 1.5 Fixed Head Coupe production amounted to just 374 cars!

First registered in London on May 15th 1968 (or so its original ‘TYT 12F’ number plate would imply), chassis 1E21837 belonged to Flying Officer Mavis E Moralee some nine years later whilst she was stationed at RAF Wittering outside Peterborough. Purchased from her by Michael Tait Esq of Welwyn during October 1983, the Jaguar remained in his possession for thirty years. Benefiting from a rustproofing treatment (1989), stainless steel exhaust (1991), new radiator (1998) and rear brake overhaul (2003) etc during his tenure, the E-Type was nonetheless something of a project when the current - believed only fourth - owner acquired it in 2013. Found to pleasingly retain its factory-fitted engine (number 7E17263-9), the two-seater underwent various mechanical, structural and cosmetic works before returning to the road. Entrusted to EMP of Melton Mowbray and Classic Car Services Ltd of Thurmaston during 2015 for new Gunmetal Grey Metallic paintwork and a fully retrimmed interior respectively, ‘TYT 12F’ also gained new wire wheels shod with Michelin tyres and period looking ‘bullet’ door mirrors. Deemed smart enough to grace the front cover and internal pages of The British Belt Company’s brochure the following year, the Jaguar has predominantly been enjoyed for visits to the races over the past decade. A reluctant sale prompted by the vendor’s wish to rationalise his collection, this rare, home market, matching chassis and engine numbers, Series 1.5 Fixed Head Coupe comes with a copy of the aforementioned British Belt Company brochure, V5C Registration Document and history file.

1921 Bean 11.9 Tourer

Reg No: CJ 3936 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: DB4/973/R

Manufactured by A. Harper, Sons, & Bean, Ltd. of Dudley, Bean cars were sturdy and robust machines which provided strong competition to the Austin 12 and Bullnose Morris which dominated the medium-sized car market of the 1920s. They came into existence in 1919, and initially the plan was to offer just a single model, the 11.9hp, which utilised a conventional 1,794cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine. Much consideration was given to rationalising production and keeping costs down, and the 11.9 could be bought as a bare chassis for £325, while the popular four-seater Touring Model cost £395. Other styles offered included a two-seater Touring Model and expensive two-seater and four-seater Coupés. By 1922, eighty cars a week were leaving the factory – a large number by the standards of the time. This 1921 Bean 11.9hp may represent a unique survivor. Almost all Beans are four-seater touring models, but ours is described on the V5C as a landaulet. The body tub resembles that of the four-seater coupé, which was an all-weather model, i.e. with a folding roof, but the roof itself is sadly absent. Believed to have last been on the road in 2010, the Bean was run earlier this year and appears largely in good order. As such, it represents a tantalising project needing only partial restoration.

1979 MG Midget 1500

Less than 8,500 miles from new and extraordinarily original

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: OLN 666W MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GAN6-224346G

The need to comply with forthcoming US safety legislation, the Midget’s biggest market, saw MG revise the design of its little sportscar for the final time in 1974. Entering showrooms that October, the resultant MkIV version was immediately recognisable courtesy of its impact-absorbing polyurethane ‘rubber bumpers’. Far better integrated than the similar contrivances found on other American market cars (think Mercedes-Benz W107 SL), the weight penalty they incurred was more than offset by the adoption of a new 66bhp 1493cc engine. Sourced from the Triumph Spitfire together with an all-synchromesh gearbox, it gave the Midget a notable boost in performance. Capable of over 100mph and known for its taut handling, the MkIV was well received by both press and public alike. Originally purchased on August 1st 1980 from Kenning Limited in Enfield, OLN 666W has been with the same registered owner since new. Displaying a warranted c.8,500 miles on the odometer, it is finished in Mustard Yellow with a black leather interior which is described as being in very good condition. The car has been started and run every year in the owner’s posession and is offered to market with an extensive history file including the original bill of sale and a current Swansea V5c.

Reg No: H442 PHE MOT: May 2026

85 2003 Porsche 911 Targa

Desirable manual transmission and only c.48,200 recorded miles

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Chassis No: SAJJNAEC3CA173715

First registered in Barnsley in September, 1990, this desirable straight-six XJ-S looks splendid in what we believe to be Jaguar’s Glacier White. While the interior appears very well-preserved and original, the exterior finish was brought up to its present standard by a repaint in the hands of the late owner, which may have been part of some wider restoration work. Regrettably, we do not know much of the Jaguar’s history, except that documents confirm it entered the owner’s possession not later than 2023. The MOT records indicate that it was in regular use from 2006 until 2016, although the car was subject to a Category C insurance write-off in 2014, and intending purchasers should make their own enquiries to the quality of any repairs. The mileage stood at 62,492 miles at the time of the 2006 test, and the annual mileage remained low until the period from 2012 to 2014, when the Jaguar covered some 20,000 miles. Having been taken off the road in 2016, the Jaguar did not drive again until it was recommissioned earlier this year by the late owner, passings its MOT in May with no advisories. Based on the consistent records from 2006, we might confidently suppose the present mileage of 87,500 miles to be original. The Jaguar is sold with the current V5C and photographs of the repaint, and should present many wonderful opportunities for grand-touring in 2026.

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z3S630715

Asked to nominate his favourite Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: “This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before completely converted after!” Traditionalists may have decried the 996’s water-cooling and Boxster componentry, however, the use of a brand-new platform (the first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. The 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS’s 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled a sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and 174mph top speed. This desirable manual transmission example has only c.48,200 recorded miles. Originally supplied by Merlin Porsche Nottingham on March 1st 2003, it remains in good overall condition throughout, driving well at the time of consignment. It was noted that the heated seats, electric targa roof and sun shade were all in working order when inspected. Offered with history file including bookpacks, service book, 996 companion book, spare keys and current V5c.

The Mustang enjoyed success in rallying, circuit racing and criterium-style events such as the Tour de France. In the 1964 running of that gruelling long-distance event, three Mustangs were entered by Alan Mann Racing for Bo Ljungfeldt, Peter Procter and Peter Harper. Despite a strong field that included multiple winner Bernard Consten in his Jaguar, Procter and Harper finished first and second in the Touring category. This rally-prepared Mustang was acquired for its owner by specialists Rally Preparation Services of Witney, Oxon, in 2017 as a standard road car. It was then converted into a long-distance historic rally car to take part in the Endurance Rally Association’s Trans-America Challenge. Further works were completed by Raceworks. A new 289-cubic-inch (4.7-litre) V8 engine was fitted and the automatic gearbox reconditioned. Upgrades to the brakes throughout included Willwood front discs, callipers and master cylinder and uprated linings at the rear. The rear axle was upgraded and uprated shock absorbers installed alongside underbody protection. The black interior has been retrimmed with a leather steering wheel and RPS specification Recaro seats matched with TRS competition harnesses fitted. A roll cage is installed, along with navigators’ storage and a Monit trip meter. Subsequent work has included the fitment of twin fuel pumps. The white paintwork by Cambridge Concours has been protected with a ceramic coating, whilst the soft-top has been replaced.

The car has successfully completed each of the events in which it has taken part. After the Trans-America Challenge, it was entered for Rally The Globe events including the Carrera Espana, Carrera Italia and Carrera Bavaria, as well as Rally Round’s Paris-Biarritz Rally. Bought by a novice crew who wanted a strong, solid car for which spare parts would be readily available, this Mustang would make a superb entry-level historic endurance rally car. Well-sorted and easy to run, it’s eligible for a wide range of events and is perfect for newcomers and experienced crews alike.

1925 Sunbeam 20/60 Enclosed Landaulette

One of just two known surviving examples

Estimate: £28,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: UK 2060 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1445E

Introduced at the October 1923 Olympia Motor Show, the Sunbeam 20/60 was a direct rival to the Rolls-Royce 20hp and in some ways its superior. Just as technologically advanced, the Wolverhampton machine’s 3181cc engine boasted a seven-bearing crankshaft, overhead valves and a detachable cylinder head but was rather more powerful than its Derby counterpart’s 3127cc unit. Employing an extra forward ratio in its gearbox and drum brakes to both axles (as opposed to the rear one only), the Sunbeam was not only faster – speeds of up to 70mph were possible dependent upon the coachwork fitted – but also offered better retardation. Well judged leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / cantilever rear) gave a supple ride, while catalogued bodystyles encompassed a Tourer, Sports Model, Enclosed Limousine and Enclosed Landaulette. A singularly accomplished design, the 20/60 is known to have caused Henry Royce consternation especially as the 1920s was the decade which arguably saw Sunbeam at its grand prix winning and Land Speed Record setting best. Succeeded by the cheaper to produce 20.9hp model in 1926 (which utilised a four-bearing crankshaft etc), just 45 or so of the 1,650 20/60s made are known to have survived. Long rumoured to have been displayed on the Sunbeam stand at the October 1925 Olympia Motor Show if only because of its original, Wolverhampton-issued ‘UK 2060’ number plate, chassis 1445E is one of just two factory-bodied Enclosed Landaulettes known to have survived. Re-registered with the DVLA during 1991 following a lengthy sojourn in America, it entered the current family ownership eight years ago. Intended to augment the 20/60 that they hired out to the producers of the globally successful television series Downton Abbey (and which fetched £172,500 on 16th September 2025), the six-/seven-seater was treated to a professional repaint and has not long returned from Piper Specialist Trimmers of Sparkford where its upholstery was renewed throughout (including the fold-out occasional seats to its division). Rare and imposing, ‘UK 2060’ started readily and ran well during our recent photograph session.

1959 Jaguar XK150 S 3.4 Litre

Fixed Head Coupé

Subject to a ground-up, bare chassis restoration at a cost of £230,000

Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000*

Reg No: YOP 911 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: T8248946DN

Beautifully presented in its original colour scheme of Cotswold Blue with a Dark Blue interior, this extremely rare, ‘matching numbers’, right-hand drive, manual-overdrive XK150 S has recently emerged from one of the most comprehensive and exacting restorations we have ever seen. ‘YOP 911’ was manufactured on June 9th, 1959, and was sold through P. J. Evans of Birmingham to J. Kitchen of Little Aston, near Sutton Coldfield. The ownership trail is picked up in February, 1970, when it belonged to David John Baron Lethbridge of Egham, Surrey. In December, it passed very briefly to Peter Leonard Walker of Edgware, Middlesex, and then in January, 1971, it was acquired by Anthony Crawshaw of Dewsbury, before Whingate Motors of Leeds took ownership in March, 1973. In September, 1975, it became the property of the Highgate Garage of Cheltenham Road, Broadway, Worcestershire, and then its life on the road came to a halt.

Invoices from Oldham & Crowther Jaguar Spares and the Forward Engineering Co. Ltd. point to some mechanical work being completed through the autumn, but the Jaguar’s tax was not renewed after December, 1975, and afterwards it languished out of sight until it reappeared looking very sad in the 2018 Beaulieu Autojumble auction. Despite appearances, it was said that it had been started periodically and ran well at low speeds with good oil pressure; nevertheless, it required total restoration.

That restoration finally commenced when the vendor took ownership in 2020. He presented it to Grandstand Coachworks and worked out a plan for not only the reviving the car to the very highest standard, but also discreetly updating it. It is worth repeating the original brief as laid out by Grandstand: “A comprehensive restoration of the vehicle, to original specification, deviating only by some sympathetic modifications to the mechanics. Any modifications should be reversible and should not look out of place. The original colour scheme will be retained, to complement the fact that the car is comprised of wholly original parts, including the engine, gearbox, chassis and body. Some materials may be substituted to meet modern expectations, such as a full leather interior instead of the original vinyl and leather. Deference should be paid to restoring rather than replacing, to retain as much character as possible. The engine should be built to a ‘fast road’ specification. It should look original, modifying only internal components. Increased power, torque and reliability is the goal. Drivability must be maintained, and long-term reliability should be engineered for long European tours.”

The work was completed between October, 2020, and March, 2023, costing a grand total of £229,760. Some work was subcontracted by Grandstand, but only to well-known and highly-respected specialists, hence the engine was renovated by Sigma Engineering, the interior was retrimmed by David Nightingale, the chrome was replated by S & T Chrome, and the axle and gearbox were overhauled by JB Sports. Significantly, the body was taken to Surface Processing Ltd. for E-coating, to ensure modern standards of corrosion resistance, and it was painted with 2K acrylic for durability. A reproduction of the Connolly Vaumol VM.3197 leather was made to order by Connolly, and the dials were overhauled by Speedy Cables. Some of the very subtle modern equipment includes a Kenlowe electric fan and EZ power steering and metal-braided fuel hoses. Inside are a concealed Bluetooth receiver and USB and charging ports. A smaller-diameter Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel has been fitted, and stainless-steel wire wheels have been used in place of the original silver-painted items, shod with Blockley 185VR16 radial tyres.

With only light use since the restoration, this outstanding XK150 S remains in superb condition and is an excellent candidate for European grand-touring. It is sold with an impressive history file including the current V5C, the green logbook from 1970, a JDHT certificate, the MOT, tax disc and invoices from 1975, a 1969 Pearson’s servicing manual, and detailed documents of the recent restoration including an extensive photographic record on a specially-prepared USB.

1979 Courier Cadillac ‘Spezial’ Coupe

Robert Maidment’s unique tribute to the Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster

‘We consider the car to be one of the best looking neo-classics ever built’ (Wesley Peterson, editor of Car Collector magazine).

The 1980s, a decade of big hair, big dreams, and big attitude. A car enthusiast and the proprietor of Courier Products (a specialist engineering company), Robert Maidment was better placed than most to turn his four-wheeled fantasy into reality. An admirer of the fearsomely extravagant, late 1930s Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadsters, he decided to create a modern day tribute with the intention of putting it into limited, handbuilt production. Undeterred by their lack of motor industry experience, Maidment and his fellow designers identified the first generation Cadillac Seville as possessing a similar wheelbase to the 540K not to mention a host of desirable ‘mod cons’ (power steering, automatic transmission, air-conditioning, cruise control and auto dipping etc). Via a lot of ingenious metalworking, a donor 1979 Seville was artfully reclothed in aluminium but without compromising its structural integrity. The drivetrain was moved back in the chassis to better ape the proportions of the Mercedes-Benz and the passenger cell reduced to two seats. The steering, suspension and brakes were recalibrated to make allowance for the 400lb lower kerb weight and the dashboard narrowed in keeping with the similarly slimmed down bulkhead. Perhaps inevitably the project made a mockery of its initial timeframe and budget. Indeed, it may well never have seen completion had Maidment not managed to temporarily repurpose the Coupe as a ‘test bed’ for Courier Products’ frictionless hinges.

An inveterate tinkerer, he proudly ‘finished’ the Courier Cadillac in 1990 but could not resist developing it further. Thus, the original 5.7 litre V8 engine was supplanted by a more potent 6.6 litre unit developing some 300bhp / 400lbft of torque. Put through its paces at the MIRA test track, the swept-tailed two-seater proved capable of 125mph and impressive acceleration. Aided by a limited slip differential and its uprated running gear, the Coupe drew considerable praise from Chris Snowdon of Mithril Racing when he got behind the wheel during 1996: “The car is very impressive. It handles like the current Bentley Brooklands and that is quite a compliment. It is beautifully neutral on the circuit, handling Goodwood’s ultra high-speed corners feeling nicely balanced with only a hint of reassuring understeer when you really push hard”. For all its finesse the Courier Cadillac’s greatest stumbling block was the man hours it took to create which Maidment estimated at 6,000! He had initially hoped to sell copies of ‘HLN 827V’ for half the price of a Rolls-Royce Silver

Spirit or Bentley Brooklands. However, it soon became clear that he would have to charge twice as much to even break even! Although, invited to display the Coupe in Cadillac showrooms on the other side of The Pond with a view to eliciting orders, Maidment never built another. Instead, he documented the trials and tribulations surrounding the car in a book called ‘Sidetracked, A True Life Motoring Saga’ which was sold to benefit the motoring charity BEN.

Further immortalised as a dream car (complete with a three-page spread) in John Heilig’s authoritative tome ‘The Cadillac Century’, the two-seater has covered 48,000 miles since its completion (but only 36,000 of those with the larger powerplant aboard). Purchased by the vendor from Robert Maidment’s family following his death in 2011, the two-seater has been regularly MOT tested over the past fourteen years with the current certificate valid until September 2026. A striking machine that turns heads wherever it goes and a true labour of love for its creator, the unique Courier Cadillac has been compared to one of Mulliner Park Ward’s products such is its quality and attention to detail. Meriting an article in Cadillac’s own magazine and given the manufacturer’s blessing to use its badging, the bespoke two-seater two-seater has been featured in publications around the globe mostly recently the September 2024 issue of Classic & Sportscar magazine. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

1934 Austin Seven Box Saloon

1932 Wolseley Hornet Special

Very rare coachwork by Patrick Motors Ltd. of Birmingham

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

92

Reg No: BHK 887 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 197313

By 1930, saloons had overtaken open tourers in popularity and the Austin Seven now known as the ‘Box Saloon’ was born. Replaced in 1934 by the more modern Ruby model, these charming saloons are the final iteration of the original ‘Vintage’ design concept. This late example finished in blue with black wings and black carpets was formerly the property of newspaper and radio entrepreneur Sir Ray Stanley Tindle CBE DL. First registered in Essex on 30th June 1934 (or so its ‘BHK 887’ number plate implies), it was treated to a ‘body off’ restoration by lifelong Seven enthusiast Nigel Ricardo during 1968-1969. The car remains remarkably solid albeit with aged / microblistered paintwork and pitted chromework. A more recent re-trim has left the interior in good order. Although running and driving, ‘BHK 887’ would naturally benefit from some level of recommissioning due to seeing little use in recent years. It now presents in much the same condition as when last offered by H&H in 2021 although the glass screen on the passenger side has been broken since and the vendor intends to replace this prior to sale. Offered with current V5c logbook and history file.

Reg No: OV 9141

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 10527327351

Among the rarest variants of the Wolseley Hornet Special are those bodied by Patrick Motors Ltd., the well-known Birmingham dealership which made a brief foray into coachbuilding. It is thought that just one Patrick Motors Coupé survives in a dismantled state, and this attractive Tourer may also be a unique survivor. Its history is known from the late 1960s, when it was discovered in an orchard in a derelict condition by Dr. David Gadsby, who commenced a restoration which was completed in 1976. For a period, Dr. Gadsby very much enjoyed using the car through the 1980s with the Wolseley Hornet Special Club, but its condition deteriorated by his death in 2019. Then bought by the vendor, he subjected it to a comprehensive restoration, completed in 2023.

The body was removed, the chassis overhauled, and the engine was stripped and reassembled. The carburettor and brakes were overhauled with many new parts, a new clutch was fitted and the fuel tank was cleaned and lined. Bodily, some substantial parts of the ash frame had to be renewed, the aluminium skin was stripped to the metal and repainted, and the interior was refurbished with new trim panels. New wheels and tyres were fitted all-round, along with a new stainless-steel exhaust, and the electrics were fully rewired. Now looking very pretty, this important survivor is supplied with a set of side screens, and a large history file.

1936 Armstrong Siddley 17hp Salmons & Sons Foursome Drophead Coupe

Reg No: T.B.A MOT: Exempt

93

1990 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 Special Edition

Subject to a recent comprehensive restoration

Estimate: £14,000 - £16,000*

Chassis No: 32436

Introduced at the 1934 Olympia Motor Show, the 17hp was available in three wheelbase lengths to cater for the needs of the sporting motorist, owner-driver and carriage trade. The newcomer was powered by a 2394cc OHV six-cylinder engine allied to four-speed Wilson pre-selector transmission. Remaining in production until 1939, just 4,260 17hp cars were made, with survivors comparatively scarce. Bodied by Salmons & Sons as a ‘Foursome’ Drophead Coupe and first registered in Brecknockshire on 4th November 1936 (or so its ‘EU 6160’ number plate would imply), chassis 32436 entered into the previous collection, that of the late Mr David Lucas, in 1978, if not before. An attendee at numerous classic car meetings that same decade, the Armstrong Siddeley appears to have never been restored. Believed but not warranted to have covered a mere 81,000 miles from new, the 17hp exudes originality. The ‘Tickford’ winding mechanism to take the soft-top roof from Sedanca to Open positions remains in situ as to a plethora of event plaques. Purchased by the vendor from our sale of the David Lucas collection in 2024, the vendor had planned to export the Armstrong to Germany and begin the recommissioning / restoration, however, this never materialised and is thus now re-offered to the market. A very rare and stylish motorcar that is surely worthy of recommissioning and a place in another collection.

Reg No: G16 PUG MOT: February 2026

Chassis No: VF320CB6223679437

Introduced in 1984, the Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the best ‘hot hatches’ ever made. Based around a lightweight three-door monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer was equipped with all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / trailing arm rear), disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Initially credited with developing 104bhp and 97lbft of torque, its predominantly alloy SOHC 1580cc engine was notably revvy and eager. Receiving a new cylinder head for the 1987 model year which boosted outputs to 113bhp and 99lbft of torque, the four-cylinder unit was allied to five-speed manual transmission. Despite impressive performance figures (0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and 121mph), it was the model’s handling that won over the contemporary motoring press. Originally supplied on 1 April 1990 by TAD Peugeot in Finchley, this special edition 205 GTi was purchased by the vendor in May 2021 following which he carried out a comprehensive restoration (details of which can be seen online) completed earlier this year. Finished in Miami Blue over a black leather interior, G16 PUG is offered with current MOT to February 2026, original owner’s handbook and a comprehensive history file.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE ‘California Roadster’

Bespoke conversion of a rare, UK-supplied car

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000*

95

Reg No: XPL 444G MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 11102422002147

Faster and more powerful than its 300SE predecessor, the 280SE was the ultimate six-cylinder expression of Paul Bracq’s iconic and oh so elegant W111-series pillarless Coupe. Sharing its 2.8 litre, fuel injected SOHC engine with the contemporary 280SL sportscar, the four-seater was effectively handbuilt. Equipped with power steering, all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes not to mention not to mention sumptuous leather upholstery and a wood inlaid dashboard, the 280SE was a paragon of luxury and refinement. Among the best looking cars of the 1960s in either Coupe or Cabriolet guise, its hefty price tag ensured limited sales. Thus, just 150 of the 3,797 280SE Coupes made were to right-hand drive specification.

Among less than 100 UK-supplied examples, ‘XPL 444G’ had been off the road for several years when the vendor acquired it in 2024. The subject of an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration whilst owned by R.J. Mody Esq of London W2 during the early 1980s, its accompanying history file also records thousands of pounds worth of expenditure into the 2010s. Inspired by the California Coupe which Mercedes-Benz offered across its W113 range (230SL / 250SL / 280SL), the seller chose to convert the 280SE into a ‘California Roadster’ as part of an extensive bodywork restoration. Bereft of any form of roof, the four-seater retains wind-up windows should its passengers wish to shelter from the airstream at speed. Arguably better strengthened than Mercedes-Benz’s own 280SE Cabriolet, ‘XPL 444G’ features specially re-engineered sills and a reinforced floorpan. The doors open and close with ease and scuttle shake is kept to a minimum. Finished in the stunning combination of Austin-Healey Ice Blue Metallic with Cognac leather upholstery, the Mercedes-Benz turns heads wherever it goes. Looking like an escapee from a film set or an advertisement shoot, ‘XPL 444G’ is thought to have covered circa 36,000 miles since its engine and automatic gearbox were rejuvenated. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file dating back almost fifty years, it started readily during our recent photography session. Four-seater 1960s cars rarely come much cooler!

c.1924 Star Two-Litre ‘Brooklands’ Single-Seater Racing Car

Fascinating racing provenance involving Malcolm Campbell, Brooklands, and major Irish speed events

Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: N/A MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: T.B.A

In the 1920s, Star of Wolverhampton fielded a range of touring cars for the affluent middle-classes, one of which was the 1,795cc 11.9hp model. In 1924, Brooklands racer Malcolm Campbell took control of a Star agency, and Star increased the 11.9’s stroke by 10mm and added a third main bearing to create the 1,945cc 12/25hp. Campbell raced an 11.9hp at the 1924 B.A.R.C. Easter Meeting, winning the 75mph Short Handicap, afterwards equipping it with a 12/25hp engine. It raced at three meetings between July and September, winning the 75mph Short Handicap in September at 79.95mph. A number of photographs show the Star with its slim, polished aluminium single-seater coachwork and Rudge wire wheels. In Belfast, Star and Ford agent J. E. “Jack” Coulter raced a 12/40hp (an OHV 12/25) but, after an accident forced the amputation of his arm, employee W. H. “Billy” Connolly became his “star” racer. The 12/40 was repaired and raced without wings at events such as the Ballybannon Hill-Climb and Magilligan Speed Trials. After Connolly opened his own garage, he acquired the 12/40 and somehow also Campbell’s single-seater body, which he fitted for the 1928 season, setting an FTD at Ballybannon. The 12/40 was later restored with its original body, while the racing body ended up in Connolly’s garage, where it remained until this century. It was rescued by Mike Wylie, son of Coulter’s apprentice Bob Wylie, and the search began for a chassis. He acquired a six-cylinder chassis that was altered to four-cylinder configuration, a 12/25hp engine and gearbox, both axles and smaller spares such as a steering box, remanufactured steering wheel, overhauled magneto, an original seat, some floorboards and miscellaneous engine, transmission, braking and steering components. The engine and axles have been dated to 1924. Sadly, the project has not progressed since we offered it for sale in 2009, but nevertheless represents a fantastic opportunity for a capable restorer to resurrect a richly provenanced piece of motor sport and Malcolm Campbell history.

1962 Turner Mk2 Race Car

Previous Goodwood Members’ Meeting competitor

Estimate: £30,000 - £34,000*

Reg No: 515 EZ MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 62/518

In 1960, a Turner Sports Mk II model appeared, with improved interior trim and further minor styling revisions. From 1960, the front suspension became Triumph Herald-based and in 1961, as well as the Austin and Coventry Climax engines, other options were introduced, such as the Ford 105E 997cc and 109E 1,340cc units. Finally, in 1963, the new Ford Cortina 1500cc engine also became available. About 150 Turner Sports Mk II models were made with many enjoying illustrious racing careers such as the legendary VUD 701 driven by John Miles in the Autosport National Race Championship of 1963–64, winning 15 of the 17 races against works opposition including Jaguar, Lotus and Aston Martin. Throughout the UK, USA and Australia, the owners of these lightweight nimble Turner sports cars are still winning, beating much more powerful cars.

This car was supplied new on 25th of April 1962 to a Mr Arthur Carter. Before his passing in 2018 he mentioned the car had been raced in period by various different drivers. After his ownership the car spent time in Ireland changing hands various times, awaiting restoration until 2005 when it was prepared for the 2006 HSCC HRS season. In 2015 the car was sold and received further work including changing to its current colour scheme and was raced in the Weslake cup at the Goodwood Members meeting. In more recent years it has been mechanically overhauled by Autorevive London as a highly competitive historic racer and has been a front running car in the Equipe Classic Racing series in GTS and pre-63 with many class wins and overall podiums. Running an A-series drive train built by Classic & Modern Engineering at a cost of £18,000, and benefiting from a full gearbox refresh with just two race meetings since, it presents a perfect opportunity for entry into historic motorsport.

2000 Lotus Elise S1 Type 49

1 of just 92 Type 49 Editions, with just 27,500 miles from new

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Chassis No: 1224959

Little is known of the history of this rare Humber 12, except that it was acquired by the late owner, an enthusiastic collector, from an Anglia Car Auctions sale on January 21st, 2012. At the time of the sale, it was painted entirely Black and, while clearly in need of restoration, looked to be substantially complete. The headlamps, horn and front bumper, for example, were still attached so, while we are unable to confirm their presence, we expect them still to be with the car. Photographs are supplied showing the car as bought, from which it may seen that some cosmetic restoration was completed before the project stalled.

When last sold, the Humber was listed as a 1938 model and carried the London-issued number plates ‘DUL 661’. Because production ended in 1937, we suspect it was a very late example registered in 1938. Sadly, the DVLA no longer has any record of that number, but as it is not presently attached to any other car, it may be possible to reapply for it. However, bidders should be aware that there is no buff logbook or V5 document. While it is a full restoration project, the bodywork appears to be quite solid and certainly the Humber is in good enough condition to be very much worth saving.

This seldom-seen Type 49 has come to us in an excellent state of preservation, having covered only 27,500 miles from new, of which just over 7,000 have been completed since 2008. Sold new through Nelmes of Romford, Essex, to a Mr. Biddle of Chipping Ongar, at 25 years old the Elise has had only nine registered keepers, including one impressively long-term owner from 2003 to 2016. The maintenance record is excellent, with six service stamps issued annually from 2000 to 2005 (at 15,528 miles), all by Lotus main dealers. A further five services were recorded, though unstamped, from 2007 to 2014 (at 24,379 miles) and a final main-dealer service was completed in 2017 at 24,962 miles. Although not logged in the maintenance record, some more substantial work was performed in 2020 by Hexagon Modern Classics, including a general service, replacement of the rear brake pads, front drop links and anti-roll bar bushes, and refurbishment of the rear wheels.

In the present ownership since 2023, the Lotus is sold with the current V5C, the original owner’s wallet containing the controls manual, maintenance record and dealer directory, early correspondence from Lotus and invoices from Nelmes, assorted other invoices, several tax discs and MOT certificates running back to its first test in 2003. The current MOT is valid until May, 2026.

Chassis No: WVWZZZ15ZLK010305

Successor to the Volkswagen Beetle soft-top, the Golf Mk1 Cabriolet was introduced at the 1979 Geneva Salon and remained in production until July 1993. Engineered and built by Karmann of Osnabruck, the newcomer was every bit as stylish as its Giorgetto Guigiaro-penned hatchback sibling. Suitably reinforced thanks to a substantial rollover hoop, trans-dashboard ‘knee bar’ and strengthened sills etc, it also featured a snug-fitting and well-insulated hood. Arriving during 1988, the Clipper variant shared its quad headlamp visage with the GTi. Further visually distinguished via bigger bumpers, wider wheelarches and sideskirts, the newcomer was powered by a carburettor-fed 1781cc SOHC four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Acquired by its current (sixth) registered keeper in 2014, ‘G246 OKU’ has covered just 76,000 miles from new. Finished in White with Grey / Check cloth upholstery and a Black soft-top, the Golf is said to be notably well preserved and smart. Sparingly used in recent years, it is due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the auction. Pleasingly retaining a ‘Merlin Official Volkswagen Centre’ sticker to its heated rear window not to mention a wealth of original paperwork, the Clipper is equipped with the preferred five-speed manual gearbox. Rare to find in this condition, ‘G246 OKU’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

Reg No: SH57 YDC MOT: May 2026

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z8S721859

Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche’s iconic 911 allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor to more classic styling. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8-litre engine (rated at 350bhp/295lbft), sports exhaust, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19-inch wheels as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 182mph, it soon became a driver’s favourite. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991, examples of 997 cars are becoming increasingly collectible. This Gen 1 997 in desirable Carrara 4S guise with Tiptronic transmission was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 30th of November 2007. Finished in the menacing colour combination of Black paintwork, with Black leather interior, and Black wheels, the 911 boasts options including 19-in Carrera S alloy wheels, air-conditioning, in-car entertainment system, non-sunroof, and BOSE sound system. Retained by the first owner until 2020, ‘SH57 YDC’ has had just one subsequent keeper, and has covered just 55,100 miles from new. Accompanied by documented service history, the Porsche has received a total of eight services, including some from main dealers, and was recently serviced in preparation for sale. Recently subject to a 82-point RAC inspection, the 911 is supplied with a no advisory MOT until May 2026 and two sets of keys.

Produced by Ford from 1968 to 1976, the Torino was initially an upscale version of the Fairlane, the Fairlane name being discontinued in 1970 when all vehicles became Torinos. This caused Ford to offer the Torino in many different models, the most popular being four-door saloons and two-door coupes. Lasting for three generations, the third generation debuted in 1972, when the Torino was redesigned, mainly using characteristics from previous generations, which emphasised the longer bonnets, with a short boot. The third generation also saw a new range consisting of Torino, Gran Torino, and Gran Torino Sport. But, by the final year of production, the Gran Torino Sport was discontinued leaving the Torino and Gran Torino with the range topping ‘Gran Torino Elite’ being renamed simply the ‘Ford Elite’. No styling changes were made to the 1976 model, but new options were available like a power trunk release, automatic parking brake release, and bucket seats. The Torino might not have had the longest production run, but it did leave a lasting impression on many.

This example from the final year of production is finished strikingly in red with red and white leather upholstery to the interior. Used by the vendor for show displays since acquisition in 2020, it is currently described as being in very good condition both mechanically and cosmetically.

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

Displaying a warranted c.33,500 miles from new, this example boasts an impressive factory specification, with every optinal extra selected aside from rear TV screens. It was fitted from new with the AC Schnitzer sport pack, which featured a deeper and more aggressive front and rear bumper, AC Schnitzer side skirts, chrome tipped AC Schnitzer exhausts, and special 5-spoke alloy wheels. Bought as a garage find, the vendor has used only BMW genuine parts to the tune of over £13,000 to restore this car to its current condition and it will be MOT’d by the time of the sale. Finished in Arctic Silver over a black leather interior, this 750i L is offered with a large history file, full service history and a current Swansea V5c.

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Chassis No: P1B56719BW

First registered January 1st, 1966, and sporting a Lincolnshire-issued number, this very attractive 3.8 Litre S-type comes equipped with the desirable options of an automatic gearbox and power steering. It appears in very nice order all-round and has evidently been the subject of much expenditure in the past, to bring its body and paint up to their present standard. The interior is clearly original and not in bad shape for its age (though the seats might welcome a spot of hide feed), while the seatbelts and speakers are later additions. The woodwork looks to be well-preserved throughout. Sadly, not much of the car’s history is known, other than that it had been in the late owner’s possession at least since 2018. The Jaguar has seen little use in recent years, with no record of MOTs since 2005, except in 2012 at 74,570 miles and 2017 at 74,725 miles. While still in running and driving order, and showing good oil pressure, it has spent the last few years on SORN so some light recommissioning will be in order. It is supplied with the latest V5C.

Reg No: SV 5846 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: DIC24631

This wonderful, probably unique, vintage van is something of an unsolved mystery. While Delage manufactured some wonderful motorcars, they are understood to never have produced any commercial vehicles. However, the C in DIC reputedly classifies it as Continental and therein may lie a clue, as the French colonies were many in number back in 1927. What is more certain is that the shapely coachwork was created by E.Gallard of Yonne and that a Mr Jon Champ was responsible for importing ‘SV 5846’ to the UK from Lyon in 1993. It was subsequently sold to a Mr Colin Mallet from whom the previous owner acquired it in 1996. Although apparently very original it was by then ‘very tired, having obviously been used for many years without major attention’. However, as it was such an attractive vehicle he decided to retain it in van guise and restore it. This labour of love took many years to complete, since when the lovely Delage has travelled little more than 6,000 miles; 400 of which were achieved during one rally. This splendid period commercial is understood to be ready for immediate touring duties or, of course, deliveries! One thing’s for sure - it will draw admiring glances wherever it goes, and is due to be driven to the sale.

Estimate: £10,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: D117 VMX MOT: March 2026

Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECGT44495

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

This 2.0 Laser is finished attractively in Paris blue over an iconic ‘Laser’ interior in grey, both presenting well. In current ownership for c.10 years and displaying c.94,000 miles on its odometer, it was previously in ownership from 1999 until 2015 and has had only 4 owners from new. In 2015 the cylinder head was skimmed with an invoice on file and at 92,000 miles the head was overhauled, the cambelt changed and a service carried out. A new starter motor has also been fitted and in April 2025 the front brakes were overhauled. An up and coming classic, offered with MOT until March 2026 and current V5c.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS

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

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

Fee for that Lot has been paid, and whether or not the Form has been signed by the Auctioneer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses;

5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.

6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14.

7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either:

(a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively)

(b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.

8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.

9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made:

(a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot;

(b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting

the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced, placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of the Seller.

9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission.

10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk.

10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer.

10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer.

10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier.

10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.

10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds

11.1 If the Buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the total Amount due within 21 days after the Sale, the Auctioneer will notify the Seller and take the Seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action. So far as in the Auctioneer’s opinion it is practicable, the Auctioneer will at the Seller’s expense assist the Seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the Buyer, but the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.

11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER

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

a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

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

12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal.

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

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

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

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

the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed.

18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be

paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller.

18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot.

18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due.

18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose.

18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future.

19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not.

19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.

21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for

damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable.

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

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

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

25. The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of the Auctioneer, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, shall require the prior written consent of the Auctioneer.

26. If any Condition or part of a condition in these Terms shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining Conditions will not thereby be affected.

27. These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
