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.

We will make reasonable efforts to execute commission and telephone bids when instructed provided they are received by 5pm the day before the Sale.

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. In the five years from 1974 to 1979, a total of 73,899 Midget 1500s were manufactured.
Offered with an extensive history file with multiple invoices for works carried out, this Midget is finished in Brooklands Green with a tan interior. Offered without reserve, it comes with hood and tonneau covers, registration document and assorted MOT certificates. A seat belt kit is also included with the car.

In 1970 Donald Healey became Chairman of Jensen Motors and work started on the final model to bear the famous Healey name - the resulting Jensen Healey being a joint venture between Donald Healey, his son Geoffrey, and Jensen Motors. Colin Chapman offered assistance and Jensen agreed to fit the new 1973cc Lotus 907 DOHC 16 valve all-alloy engine. This multi-valve unit was the first to be mass produced on an assembly line and developed approximately 144bhp, sufficient for a top speed of 119 mph with 0-60mph in 8.1 seconds. Disc brakes were fitted at the front while drums sufficed for the rear.
Purchased 8 years ago by the vendor, who has carried out significant reconditioning, this example has been MoT’d every year since and has seen regular use on the road. Benefiting from a new steering rack within the last year, a new fuel pump, new floor and outer sills, new front bumper and new clutch have also been fitted during the current ownership. Accompanied by a current MoT to April 2026, it ran well at the time of inspection. Finished in a classic colour combination of red over black leather trim, SKX 552L is temptingly offered without reserve.
Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

The Lanchester Motor Company manufactured motorcars in the United Kingdom between 1899 and 1955. The LA 10 was introduced in September 1932 as a replacement for the 15/18 with a new four-cylinder engine and Daimler fluid flywheel and preselector gearbox. The LA 11 debuted in 1936 as a ‘facelift’ of sorts bringing the styling more in line with the larger Lanchester and Daimler models.
Self evidently the beneficiary of much care and attention over the years, this LA 11 is equipped with a bespoke trunk, crafted by the vendor who makes exquisite gun cases. Believed to be in good order and starting on the button, it benefits from a 12v battery and electronic ignition and we understand the engine has been re-bored. Originally registered ALF 43, it is understood to have been in previous long-term family ownership for c.40 years and to have been restored some years ago. The gearbox is said to have been refreshed, along with the running gear including brakes, and the chassis repainted in the past. A new headlining has been fitted and the sun roof refurbished. Sensibly, flashing indicators have been fitted although the semaphores are still present. Offered with a history file and Swansea V5C.

MG’s version of the BMC 1300 is one of the most uncommon variants, and as the ‘sports’ version it is also among the most desirable. The fact its A-series was built to a similar specification to the Mini Cooper S, complete with twin SU carburettors and the 11-stud cylinder head, meant it had by far the best performance of all the Mk. II ADO16 range. With the MGs being rare at the best of times, anyone might have supposed that examples which had covered fewer than 25,000 miles had vanished entirely, but this one stands as evidence to the contrary.
Its remarkable survival is due to it being placed into a garage in 1979 and left there, in well-ventilated conditions, until 2001. It had accumulated only some “superficial surface rust,” so it was resprayed but otherwise preserved just as found, with all its original body panels very much intact. With only two owners across its 55-year life, it has been used only very sparingly in the present enthusiast ownership, and had covered just 24,923 miles at the point of consignment. The vendor deems it to be “excellent” in every respect, and being offered at no reserve makes for an outstanding opportunity to acquire what may be the most original MG 1300 in existence.

A charming survivor from the decade when motoring truly became widespread in Britain, this delightful 1934 Light Six comes with history from 1941, when it was bought by Great War veteran Lt. Col. Ivor Staveley Cobbe of Wootton, near New Milton, Hampshire. Upon his death in 1963 it was used for another three years by his widow Edith, and in 1966 it passed to Mr. Robinson Waugh of nearby Sway. It must have been well-maintained by the Cobbes, as it was in continuous throughout this period, even after the “Ten-Year Test” signed the death warrant for so many older cars in the 1960s. With surviving MOT certificates dating back to 1971, we see that this Vauxhall was still going in strong in its fifth decade, so it has given really astonishing service.
The Six has evidently received some restoration work in recent years, with a repaint in what is believed to be its original shade of Blue, and a front interior retrim, but it still appears supremely correct, even down to the period sliding roof. With its six-cylinder and four-speed gearbox with synchromesh, it represents a genuinely useable pre-war car and is offered with a history file including the current V5C, 1941 buff logbook, correspondence from Vauxhall Motors, plus numerous invoices and historic MOTs.

Introduced in October 1969, the Mk2 version of Triumph’s critically acclaimed 2000 / 2500 range utilised the same monocoque construction, all-round independent suspension and disc / drum brakes as its predecessor. Restyled by Giovanni Michelotti, the newcomer presaged the aesthetics of the upcoming Stag sports car. Arriving in June 1975, the ultimate 2500S variant was powered by a twin carburettor-fed 2498cc straight-six allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission. Riding on 14-inch wheels and uprated with an anti-roll bar, it accounted for 8,164 sales and proved the swansong for Triumph’s six-cylinder line.
Believed to be one of just 43 2500S Automatics still on the road today, MJC 422 R has been used as a daily driver by the Manchester based vendor for several years since inheriting the car from his mother-in-law. Mechanically, it is said to be in fine fettle and the car is fitted with a Kenlowe fan for better cooling. All in all, a highly usable classic Triumph and a superb base for a cosmetic refresh.

The Audi Convertible was an aspirational car from early in its life although the pivotal point was Princess Diana choosing one as her daily driver in 1994. Power came from a 130bhp 2.3-litre `five’ or 150bhp 2.6 V6, as here, mounted longitudinally in Audi tradition. Build quality was solid; the galvanised bodies mean that rust is rarely an issue.
Finished in Flame Red complemented by a Black half leather interior and Black hood ‘P911 RJD’ displays just 47,950 miles and has had 5 former keepers having been in long term previous ownership from 2011 to 2021. In current ownership since 2021, attention has been paid to the electric hood this year by Hood Tech of Chester and it is now said to be in ‘fine’ order. The alloy wheels have also just been refurbished and shod with new tyres. Fitted with Ski store, remote central locking and Blaupunkt Bluetooth stereo system, the Audi was subject to mechanical fettling in both 2019 and 2021, and this year has had a new battery plus an oil change and a new oil sensor fitted. Offered for sale with MOT history, collection of invoices, owners’ wallet with handbooks and original sales brochure, Swansea V5c and a no-advisory MOT certificate into April 2026.
Current family ownership since 1968
Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*
Reg No: LDH 565 MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: TC4261
We are delighted to offer this 1947 TC, which tells a lovely story, having been in single ownership for some 55 years. ‘LDH 565’ was originally registered in Walsall in January, 1948, but by 1968 it had travelled to Aberdeenshire, when it was bought by the vendor’s late mother, an enthusiastic member of the Octagon Car Club, as her first car. It survives with a great raft of history, including MOTs running back to 1967, tax discs back to 1969, numerous letters and invoices, and various show plaques. That is in addition to the 1960s green logbook, a 1987 V5 and the current V5C.
By the 1980s, the MG was due a spot of refurbishment, so it was treated to an extensive restoration, with records recording a colour change from White to Red in 1983. The thorough extent of the works is again apparent from the bulging history file. More recently, it was treated to some lighter refurbishment, including new brake lines and cylinders in 2016, new suspension bushes in 2021, reconditioned shock absorbers in 2022 and a new fuel pump and battery in 2023. Some basic checks may be required as the MG has now been off the road for 15 months, but it should not be long before it’s whizzing along the country lanes again and comes to the market for the first time in 57 years!
Comprehensively restored in 2018 with minimal mileage since Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000*
Originally built for the German market but a resident of Britain since 2000, this supremely well looked-after, matching-numbers 911 SC stands out for its excellent condition and desirable special-order paint scheme. Completed on 20th January, 1983, the Porsche was well-specified from new, with a host of options including two-point seatbelts, a locking differential, an electrically-adjustable and heatable passenger door mirror, a tinted windscreen and side windows with the windscreen electrically heated, a rear windscreen wiper, sports seats, automatic speed control, front and rear spoilers, an anti-theft device and an electric sliding roof.
Perhaps the car’s most desirable feature is its special-order (code 9999) paint colour of Mocha Brown Pearl, which appears almost as black but with a subtle bronze lustre. As built, the Porsche was equipped with the desirable ‘racy’ interior upholstered with black leatherette and Pasha velour inserts, but the vendor changed the leatherette for real leather when he had the interior retrimmed.
Appropriately maintained while a resident of Germany, with 12 services being completed up to 1999, when it had covered 157,773km (98,036 miles). When it was imported into Britain the following year, it remained in use up to 2009, after which it languished until the vendor purchased it in 2017 and subjected it to an extensive and very sympathetic restoration which was completed in 2018. The work was primarily entrusted to GCR Central, the respected Leicester Porsche specialist, which issued invoices for the overhaul exceeding £30,000. It firstly consisted of mechanical work, with both the engine and gearbox being stripped and fully overhauled with many new parts. The gearbox received new sliders and firstand fourth-gear dogs, while the engine received especially great attention. The head was refaced, the valve seats were recut, the crankcase was acid-cleaned and the crankshaft was polished. New parts used included the piston rings, big-end bearings, clutch assembly and assorted engine consumables. At the end of the mechanical overhaul, the gearbox work came to £1,436.42 and the engine work to £9,102.70.
The second stage of the renovation concerned the bodywork and cosmetics, with GCR supplying some new panels and weather seals, though the panel repairs themselves were entrusted to the vendor’s preferred body shop. The Porsche subsequently received a full repaint in its original Mocha Brown Pearl, while Southbound Porsche trim specialists took responsibility for reupholstering the interior in materials, which included new carpets and headlining in addition to the retrimming of the seats and doors, with the vendor specifying
leather to be used in place of the original leatherette. After also refurbishing the wheels and equipping them with new Continental tyres, GCR issued an invoice for £20,004.99 for the supply of body components and the interior work, which does not include the paintwork, bodywork repairs, or the supply of interior materials. The renovation also included a speedometer repair and the fitment of an FM transmitter to the radio. With invoices on file for some £35,000, the total cost of restoration is understood to far surpass £40,000.
Still with matching chassis, engine and gearbox numbers, the Porsche has proven itself to be a very reliable and enjoyable machine since it has been back on the road, with the vendor taking it on a number of brisk long-distance touring drives, including to Guernsey, Jersey and the south of France, with some 10,000 kilometres (c.6,200 miles) covered since the restoration’s completion. It is offered for sale now having been freshly serviced and subject to an overhaul of the rear brakes, which has included new discs, pads and backplates, and rescaled calipers. It represents a truly outstanding machine which has had so much care lavished on it by a truly enthusiastic owner, and its large paperwork file contains technical documents and a German wiring diagram, twelve German service invoices from 1983 to 1999, import documents, MOTs from 2000 to 2023 (when it became exempt), a Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity, plus a list of the options with which it was specified.

Having had just three owners from new, this SL320 survives in very original condition. Records show it was completed on 25th October, 1995, although not registered for the road until 1st May, 1996. It still appears in its original colour scheme of Green Black Metallic with interior trim 265A (variously known as Mushroom, Parchment or Cream Beige), which presents very well. First sold through Mercedes-Benz agent Lancaster Bow Ltd. of London, it was specified with a number of desirable features, including an adjustable steering column, front and rear speakers, headlamp cleaning equipment and eight-hole alloy wheels.
This SL320 has evidently been well looked-after, as the service book contains fifteen stamps, of which the most recent was issued at 100,582 miles. The car has now covered a little over 101,000 miles, but it was only recommissioned last year having been placed in dry storage in 2018. A large collection of invoices and MOT certificates indicate just how well-maintained it has been, and it has most recently benefitted from a comprehensive service of the hood, which opens and closes quickly and smoothly. In the most recent ownership since 2005, it is offered with the latest V5C, the original book pack and a fresh MOT.

Chrysler introduced the affordable Plymouth line in 1928 to compete with Ford and Chevrolet during the Depression era. With innovative features, such as hydraulic braking and full-pressure lubrication, Plymouth became an instant success. The PA introduced “Floating Power,” a balanced engine mounting system that isolated engine vibration to provide “the smoothness of an Eight with the economy of a Four”. This turned out to be a lifesaver for the Chrysler Corporation and it is quite possible the company would not have survived the Great Depression without this lower-end model. Being new to this market, they relied on innovative engineering and technology to make Plymouth’s more appealing to buyers than their competition. The plan worked and the newly redesigned PA Model Plymouth outperformed the expectations of consumers and dealers alike. By 1933, it ranked as the third best-selling car in the US, just behind Ford.
A rare RHD example, with a 2.2-litre four-cylinder ‘Iron Dome’ engine, this Plymouth was formerly used as a wedding car for the best part of 20 years. A much loved member of the family that requires renewing, it is supplied with photos of wedding usage, a buff logbook and Swansea V5C.

Very few S2 Cabriolets were built to RHD specification, but this wonderful machine is one. It was supplied new in Northern Ireland through Porsche and Volkswagen dealer Isaac Agnew of Newtownabbey on 20th March, 1992, and specified with options including headlamp washers, headlamp adjustment and leather seats. After two Irish owners, it came to England in 2000 and has had only two owners since, the present owner having it since 2010. The service book reveals regular maintenance, showing 16 service stamps of which 14 were issued by a main dealer.
After 33 years, the Porsche has covered just 68,700 miles and owes its present condition to a cosmetic renovation in 2019, which saw it repainted in its original Black, and thereafter the 944 was placed into storage, so it has covered only a few dozen miles since 2019. However, it has been freshly recommissioned, with a full service and cambelt change completed, it also received a new mohair hood in 2025 by AutoTrim Ltd. The battery and brake pads have just been renewed, it has an MOT until September, 2026, and will be driven to the sale from Sheffield. It is offered with much literature, including the V5C, assorted invoices, past sales invoice and ownership records, MOTs dating back to 1997, plus the original book wallet containing the driver’s manual and service book, plus the original spare wheel, steering wheel, air pump, toolkit, and orange indicator lens covers.

Chassis No: SARRJLTFF5D341767
Finished in X-Power Grey with Black upholstery, this particular example was pre-registered by supplying dealer Edmondsons of Ipswich on January 1st 2005. Sold to its first private keeper, Anthony Proctor, twenty-eight days later, he kept the MG for some three-and-ahalf years and 17,000 miles. A former British Aerospace missile technician, the second keeper – Gavin Perry – undertook minor maintenance himself but used Lates600 and Horners to renew the cambelt and change the coolant etc. Entering the current (third private) ownership during February 2018 at an indicated 63,000 or so miles, the Estate benefited from a second camblet change that same year (the work being done by JMA Cars of Colwyn Bay). As well as regular servicing, the vendor has treated ‘AX54 TJO’ to: a thorough rust-proofing using Dynax products, new thermostat and pipework, new master cylinder, new bonnet struts, replacements VIS motors (precautionary), new brake discs and pads and a set of Continental tyres. The rear parking sensors are currently disconnected (suspect control unit) and there is some pixelation on the trip computer display. Being reluctantly sold due to dwindling use (less than 250 miles this year), the ZT-T is complete with original brochure and dealer plates, complete book pack including fully stamped service book and comprehensive history file including invoices and all old MoT’s.

Chassis No: SALLHABV1AA113822
A true collector’s item in every sense, our In Vogue was built on 1st June, 1981, and originally retailed through Appleyard Farm Services Ltd. of Harrogate. It has had seven recorded keepers, including one long-term owner from 1993 to 2017, but it was taken off the road in 1996. When the present owner, a committed Range Rover enthusiast and habitual restorer, acquired it in 2018, it was very much in need of restoration, and he made a start in 2020.
The work was comprehensive. The car was stripped back to the bare chassis, which itself was sandblasted and repainted. The bodywork was repaired as necessary and repainted in the correct In Vogue Blue, and the engine was thoroughly overhauled with new piston rings, a reground crankshaft, and so on. The gearbox, too, was overhauled, and the electrics benefitted from a complete new wiring loom. The interior was retrimmed to the original specification by Range Rover specialists Nationwide Trim. Ex-Rolls-Royce woodwork specialists Chapman & Cliff renewed the interior wood trim. The suspension and brakes were likewise renewed, with the brakes receiving new discs, pads, callipers and more.
In spite of such extensive renovations, the Range Rover pleasingly retains much of its original equipment, some of which is In Vogue-specific. This includes everything from the Appleyard number plates to the tool roll, starting handle, jack and tyre pump – not forgetting the jewel in the crown, the original picnic hamper. With the desirability of early Range Rovers reaching ever greater heights, this one just may be more in vogue than ever before. It is offered with the current V5C, an owner’s manual, a BMIHT certificate, historic tax discs, many restoration invoices, an original build sticker, spare side decals, and a copy of the Vogue magazine which originally inspired this special edition.

Chassis No: 154420
For many the definitive Jaguar sports Saloon, the Mk II was introduced in October, 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque’s first monocoque design. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the Mk II was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
First registered in September 1961, 781 MNY has been subject to comprehensive works over the past 18 years including replacement of the 3.4-litre engine with a 3.8-litre unit and the fitting of a later synchromesh gearbox with overhauled overdrive in place of the original Moss ‘box in 2007. During 2008/2009 a bare metal restoration was carried out by P & K Thornton Restorations (see website for full details). Works have included; conversion to negative earth, radiator recore with Serck Marston super x core, a reconditioned water pump fitted and all hoses replaced. The engine was completely stripped down and new mains and big/end shells, piston rings etc. fitted (April 2007), oil pump overhauled and a stainless steel expansion tank fitted. Cylinder head work included new valves and guides, tappet buckets, head refaced, new camshaft bearings and cam covers polished. The flywheel was refaced, a new diaphragm clutch fitted along with new master and slave cylinders. The gearbox was overhauled with new bearings and syncro cones and the overdrive overhauled by Oakdean Transmissions.
Finished in Opalescent Maroon with upgraded XJ40 ivory seats, the car comes with five brightly chromed wire wheels and tyres - the wheels in the photographs are for use when in storage. Supplied with extensive, well documented history file, Swansea V5c and current MOT to August 2026, this fine Mk II deserves close inspection.
Original coachwork by Arthur Mulliner of Northampton
Estimate: £10,000 - £15,000*
Reg No: KK 6350 MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: 74A9
Chassis ‘74A9’ was originally supplied to the Bridge Street, Northampton, coachworks of Arthur Mulliner to receive its attractive drophead coupé-with-dickey body, while the chassis itself was completed with a raked steering column and nickel fittings. The first owner was a Mrs. Nora Chalcraft of Kitcombe House, Alton, Hampshire. We understand Mrs. Chalcraft died in 1962, which is when ownership of the Rolls-Royce was taken over by John Markham Baldock of Liphook, Hampshire. It changed hands for only the second in time in 1978, when it went to live with Thomas Charles Gill Whitehead of Newton-under-Roseberry in the North Riding of Yorkshire. It remained in Mr. Whitehead’s possession until 2006, when was purchased at auction for the significant Rolls-Royce and Bentley-focussed collection in which it presently resides.
Restoration work had been commenced during Mr. Whitehead’s ownership but was not completed. When it changed hands, work resumed and the Rolls-Royce was restored almost to completion by 2008. The work included recommissioning, rewiring and a respray, but the car never received a new hood. While we understand that the car was driven lightly after recommissioning, the records held (or not held) by the DVLA suggest that it has not been on the road for several decades. The engine turns over but the car is now in need of recommissioning again. The transmission is believed to be in working order but the clutch, steering, brakes and suspension will require attention, and the hood remains to be finished. Altogether, there is not a great amount of work that remains to put this charming Rolls back into use, and it will be wonderful to see it on the rally circuit after so many years out of sight. It is offered with the current V5C, the original buff logbook, copies of Rolls-Royce build records, a 2023 condition report and the 2006 auction invoice.

A refinement of the 456, the Ferrari 456M was launched at the 1998 Geneva Motor Show. We are delighted to offer one of just 139 456M GTAs built to RHD specification for the British market, out of a total of 650 produced up to 2003. With 11 keepers from new, its history can be traced back to 2006, when its MOT records begin. Its invoices run back to 2013, when it was owned by a Mr. Dellow of Sevenoaks, who invested considerably in maintenance over the years that followed. Our example was purchased by the vendor in 2022, and he quickly embarked upon his own programme of maintenance and improvements. Over £23,000 has been spent in his ownership, of which £19,000 occurred within the last 18 months.
The vendor’s work began in October, 2022, when the rear shock absorbers were rebuilt, among other jobs, by the Calton Road Garage. In July, 2023, the Ferrari was presented to Severnside Refinishing for paint refurbishment around the bumpers, sills, mirrors and door handles, and around the same time Mobi Valeting Detailing was responsible for cleaning the interior and undertaking leather repairs. The more recent work was entrusted to Retroclassic Engineering, starting in May, 2024, with a general service including the renewal of the sparking plugs, cam belts, cam belt tensioners and springs, the air, oil and fuel filters, plus various gaskets. The air-conditioning was regassed, the valve clearances checked and the cam timing adjusted. Various electrical repairs took effect in December, 2024, and February, 2025, which involved partially rewiring the injector loom, replacing the gearbox solenoid and installing a new battery. Additional recent work has included reconditioning of the gearbox and cooling system, exhaust repairs and replacement of the water pump and torque converter. Now ready for a new owner to enjoy, this superb grand tourer is offered with the current V5C, many invoices and MOTs, an original 456M brochure, some Ferrari Owners’ Club literature and two editions of Ferrari, the FOC magazine.

Introduced at the Turin Motor Show in April 1996, the Mercedes-Benz SLK (R170-series) succeeded in widening the marque’s appeal to a younger demographic. The most popular variant due to its blend of performance and fuel economy, the SLK 230 was powered by a supercharged 2.3 litre four-cylinder engine allied to automatic transmission. With some 190bhp/207lbft on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds, 144mph and 40mpg. Winner of the ‘North American Car of the Year’ for 1997, the R170-series remained in production until 2004.
Built during September 1998 to order number 0853736668 for the UK market, chassis WDB1704472F098195 was finished in the stunning combination of Linarite Blue Metallic with two-tone Light / Dark Grey leather upholstery. Sporting carbonfibre trim to its centre console plus air-conditioning and heated seats, the Mercedes-Benz was retained by its original lady custodian until last year. Warranted to have covered a mere 40,000 miles from new with ten supporting service stamps, the SLK 230 pleasingly retains its initial supplying dealer rear window sticker and number plates. A low owner, low mileage R170 in an unusual and attractive colour scheme, ‘S957 ETE’ comes to market with its original bookpack (handbooks, service book), MOT valid until May 2026 and V5C Registration Document.

Without doubt the most graceful and stately car of its generation (excepting other Rolls-Royces), this Silver Spirit comes to us in an exemplary condition which has received just recognition in the Rolls-Royce world. Elegantly finished in Light Oyster with Walnut coach lines, with the interior trimmed in Cream Beige Connolly hide with Dark Brown piping, carpets and lambswool rugs, plus burr walnut veneers with boxwood inlays, it epitomises British luxury. A period-correct Blaupunkt Bremen SQR46 radio-cassette player further contributes to the enviable specification. Four of the Spirit’s six keepers hailed from the same family, and it has covered just 44,215 miles from new. It has documented service history from 1997, performed by main dealers and marque specialists, and is offered for sale from the hands of a well-respected Rolls-Royce specialist which purchased it in 2023 and has undertaken sympathetic renovations, including mechanical servicing, painting the sills and wheel arch edges with Raptor protective coating, detailing and Waxoyling the underside, refurbishing the wheels and fitting a new alternator, power-steering rack, hydraulic accumulators, battery and tyres. Consequently, the Spirit was placed second in judging for the Class 16 Trophy at the 2024 RREC Rally, and its restorer was honoured with the Harry Ferguson Wood Trophy. Appearing with a showroom-fresh interior, this is surely one of the best Spirits currently on the market.

In basic trim, the X150 XK was a very pretty car, but a bit of subtle restyling here and there could make the world of difference. This 2006 4.2-litre XK roadster sports the XK60 styling pack, which adds a touch of muscularity and a hint of aggression by way of a front splitter, mesh grille, wide sills and deep rear valance with wide exhaust surrounds, but that is just one option of many on this very well-specified car. Other features include the 20in Senta wheels, chrome-plated vents, satellite navigation, power heated seats with memory settings, and cruise control. The Liquid Silver paint is beautifully complemented by the Ivory leather interior and Black hood.
Registered new in Reading and sold to a Mr. Inchbald on 23rd March, 2006, the Jaguar has had only four registered keepers and covered a modest 78,500 miles. It was been well-maintained throughout its life, with servicing annually up to 2010, an additional service in 2012, and then biennially from 2013 to 2023, when it had covered 78,412 miles, though it has not been on the road since June, 2024, but will be supplied with a fresh MOT for sale. This well-preserved XK still represents excellent value for many, especially in such a condition and with such a specification.

Introduced in 1983, the Land Rover County Estate could be had in either ‘90’ or ‘110’ guises and was an acknowledgement that not all of the Solihull marque’s products were destined to spend their lives on farms, construction sites and battlefields! Offering more ‘luxury’ and practical people carrying ability than its more utilitarian siblings, the County continued when the Land Rover had to adopt a name, Defender, in 1990, following the launch of Discovery. The 4C D Turbo was an 85hp 2.5-litre turbodiesel (not to be confused with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder Tdi engines that followed it), offering, arguably the best combination of performance (0-60 about 20 seconds, capable of keeping up with motorway traffic) and economy (20-25mpg) that was available at the time.
This 110 County Estate is said to be a very un-touched example and still retains its original engine, gearbox, chassis and axles. Showing just three former keepers on HPi, the Landie has covered some 146,000 miles. Maintained by a marque specialist for approximately 20 years, ‘H362 DAT’ had a new, waxoyl-injected bulkhead fitted c.10 years ago and its timing belts renewed c.2 years ago. Accompanied by service history, numerous invoices and current V5C document, the 110 was running and driving well on our recent photography shoot.

Without doubt one of the loveliest XKs we have set eyes upon, this 1956 XK140 owes its survival in such well-preserved condition to just three owners. The first, from January, 1956, was Reginald George Baird of Nottingham, who kept it in continuous use. In September, 1966, it passed to a gentleman from Loughborough, in whose family it has remained ever since. The present owner officially acquired it in 1996, although invoices suggest he had been caring for it since the early 1980s.
Still wearing its factory-applied colour scheme of Cotswold Blue with a Dark Blue interior, the Jaguar was resprayed in the 1990s but the interior remains outstandingly original. In the present family ownership, it has benefitted from much maintenance combined with extremely light use. Maintenance history is traceable to 1970, when the Jaguar received a light engine overhaul. A more comprehensive overhaul was undertaken by Sporting Cars of Beeston, which included the fitment of a replacement cylinder head. A vast collection of invoices reveals much additional work over the years, including fitment of a stainless-steel exhaust pipe in 1988. In 2022, the twin SU carburettors were overhauled with parts supplied by Burlen, and new front brake cylinders were purchased from the David Manners Group.
In 1971, the Jaguar’s mileage stood at 55,000, but by 1997 it had increased to only 65,000. Its use really declined from the mid-1980s, and its present mileage is just a shade over 70,000, which is well-supported by MOTs. Despite being so sparingly driven, the car has rarely been out of use, and the MOT collection runs back to 1969. Offered with a substantial history file including the original buff and green logbooks, historic V5s and the current V5C, copious invoices and MOT certificates, technical articles, wiring diagrams, the SU Carburetter Type H Tuning, Adjusting and Servicing Instructions, plus a 1965-66 tax disc and spare keys, this supremely original and period-correct XK really is one for the connoisseur.

Bristols have always been cars for the connoisseur – people with an eye for detail and an appreciation of quality, such as engineers and architects. Indeed, the late long-term owner of this car was a RIBA-qualified architect, and with characteristic sensitivity he implemented a programme of discreet but significant improvements across his ownership, which started in 1989.
Prior to that, the Bristol’s history is known since 31st October, 1988, when it was purchased from Bristol Cars by G. J. Spearling (or Spearing) of Prenton, Cheshire, at a price of £22,500, minus £6,000 in part-exchange for Mr. Spearling’s 1978 Bristol 412. At that stage, it had covered 65,530 miles. Mr. Spearling kept the car, then registered ‘WTP 435’, until November, 1989, when he agreed to sell it to the late owner after a period of correspondence. The architect very much had his heart set on the 603, which he bought to replace a TVR.
Believed to have covered fewer than 20,000 miles between 1988 and the present, the owner kept the Bristol in regular use, with a few spells on SORN, and became an enthusiastic member of the Bristol Owners’ Club. Indeed, he enjoyed fettling with the car, and among the numerous improvements he installed for reliability, convenience and safety were Mopar Performance electronic ignition, a Weiand inlet manifold and Edelbrock carburettor, rotary air-conditioning and evaporator, parking sensors, side-repeating indicators, a built-in satellite navigation system, daytime running lights, an alloy radiator and an alloy exhaust heat shield. Perhaps one of the most sophisticated and useable examples of the 603, this handsome specimen is offered with a large history file including the current V5C, several invoices including some from Bristol Cars, a copy of the 1988 Bristol Cars sales invoice, MOT certificates dating back to 1989, plus copies of the 603 Instruction Manual, maintenance and servicing schedule and some technical and wiring diagrams. It is sold with an MOT with no advisories valid until April, 2026.

Unveiled as part of General Motors’ Motorama on January 17th 1953, the prototype ‘EX-122’ Corvette arguably stole the show. Brainchild of legendary stylist Harley Earl, the newcomer was more than an aesthetic match for its intended European opposition. Although, Chevy’s proven 3.8 litre ‘Blue Flame’ OHV straight-six and two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission provided respectable performance (0-60mph in 11.5 seconds and 102mph), many would-be buyers had been expecting a more exotic drivetrain. Initially handbuilt, the Corvette’s showroom appeal was further hampered by a price point which exceeded that of Jaguar’s XK120 and various Cadillacs. Updated for 1954, the sole launch colour of Polo White was augmented by Pennant Blue, Sportsman Red and Black. Despite making its international racing debut on that year’s Carrera Panamericana, the ‘jet age’ Roadster recorded just 3,640 sales.
Unlike the majority of its 1954 siblings which were castigated for being ‘All Show and No Go’, chassis E54S003592 is more than capable of burning rubber thanks to a sympathetic drivetrain upgrade. Thought to have been installed during the 1970s if only because it is topped by an Edelbrock ‘Streetmaster’ inlet manifold, the Corvette’s more potent V8 engine (presumed to be a 350ci / 5.7 litre unit) is allied to four-speed manual transmission complete with Hurst shifter. Improved since joining the Cambrian Collection in 2021, the past few years have seen ‘367 XVB’ treated to a full respray and replacement wheel trims plus attention to its braking system, cooling fan and windscreen washer jets. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, this is one ’54 ‘Vette that won’t disappoint when you hit the gas! Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document and paperwork file, ‘367 XVB’ is currently insured for £75,000.

The TR5 was built for a 13-month period between August 1967 and September 1968 in Coventry. Visually identical to the Michelotti styled TR4, the TR5 hid the main differences under the body. The most significant change was the 2.5 litre straight-six fuel-injected engine whoch could propel the TR5 from 0-50mph in just 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph.
First registered on the 3rd May 1968 and believed to have had just four custodians throughout its life; this Triumph TR5 is presented in Old English White, with a contrasting Black interior. ‘TYP 922F’ is a right hand drive, home-market car, fitted with a desirable manual ‘overdrive’ gearbox. It benefits from a comprehensive and photographically documented restoration some years ago, which shows the bodyshell removed from the rolling chassis. Entering the current ownership in 2023 and only offered for sale due to having too many other cars in his collection; the TR5 has been lavished with around £5000 in subtle upgrades and improvements within the last two years. This included a set of Moss ‘sports’ seats, in black, with white piping. They feature a reclining back which has been shaped to give improved lateral and lower back (lumbar) support, and they are fitted with height-adjustable headrests, unlike the factory seats. Looking to take part in long-distance tours and rallies, the team at Racetorations of Lincoln provided upgraded Quaife rear hubs and driveshafts, plus polybushing and related fittings at a cost of almost £3500.
Running and driving well during our recent photography session, the Triumph is offered with a current UK V5c registration document, photographic record of the restoration and a small number of invoices for works carried out. With the looks of the TR4, but the performance of the TR6, these TR5 Triumphs have always the most desirable of the entire TR series and with such a conservative estimate figure, should provide Champagne classic motoring, for a lemonade outlay.

Introduced in 2004, the 997-series represented a significant advancement over its predecessor, the 996-series. This iteration incorporated notable technological enhancements, including a lighter and stiffer bodyshell, improved suspension and brakes, upgraded four-valve cylinder heads, and an enhanced HVAC system. In terms of design, the 997-series took a more classical approach, combining timeless styling elements with modern aesthetics. At its launch, the 997 was available in Carrera or Carrera S variants. The Carrera model featured a 3.6-litre engine producing 321bhp and 273 lb-ft of torque, mated to a choice of either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission. With impressive performance, including 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 178 mph top speed, the 997 Carrera offered a thrilling driving experience. Furthermore, its superior build quality, refined aesthetics, and agile nature made it a desirable choice, with well-preserved examples being increasingly sought after by collectors.
Finished in Triple black over black leather with Silver ‘Lobster Claw’ alloys, this example is described by our vendor as “immaculate looking” and currently registers some 102,000 miles. A Tiptronic transmission car benefiting from a comprehensive specialist service history, we are informed 13 services have been carried out.

Supplied new through the Audi dealer Corkhills Garage on the Isle of Man on 1st November, 2003, and finished in the attractive Lightning Silver, this well-specified A8 is a rare survivor, being a 4.2-litre V8 Quattro model. It is also notably well-preserved, with a modest mileage of 75,000 going some way to explain its smart overall condition. There is scarcely space to detail all its equipment, but highlights include power-operated, automatically-dimming door mirrors with memory settings, all-round air suspension to sports specification, burr walnut interior trim, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, a navigation system with colour screen, forged alloy wheels and sun screens for the rear windows.
The Audi arrived on the British mainland in 2010 having covered around 8,000 miles, since when it has had just three keepers, including a long-term owner from 2010 to 2022. While its annual mileage on the mainland has been significantly more than it was on the Isle of Man, it has been appropriately maintained, as the service book testifies – there are eight service stamps, mostly from main dealers and specialists, the last of which was administered at 71,088 miles. MOTed with no advisories until March, 2026, it has proven itself to be a truly dependable car which remains an ideal motorway cruiser even at 22 years old, and exudes understated and tasteful luxury.

Reassuringly expensive when new and the darling of celebrities, wealthy professionals and F1 drivers alike, Mercedes-Benz’s R129-series SL (‘Sport Leicht’) is undervalued especially in comparison to its W113 and R107 forebears. Conceived at a time when the marque was synonymous with ‘bank vault’ build quality, the R129-series was arguably the most accomplished convertible of its generation. Produced as they were before the so-called ‘marriage of equals’ affected either Daimler-Benz or Chrysler products, the final, 1998 model-year examples of Mercedes-Benz’s straight-six engined SL 320 were better built using superior materials than their successors. Finished in the iconic combination of Brilliant Silver Metallic with Dark Blue leather upholstery, chassis 167470 also boasts a wood / leather steering wheel, wood gear lever surround, Dark Blue soft-top, Panoramic hardtop, headlamp wash / wipe, rear seats and pronounced / contrast stitching. Supplied new by Peter Harris Ltd and showing service stamps at 6,028, 15,847, 29,344, 39,961, 46,106 and 49,932 miles, the Mercedes-Benz is warranted to have covered a mere 60,000 or so miles from new. Riding on correct-type alloy wheels shod with premium General tyres (a subsidiary of Continental), the SL320 belies its twenty-seven years. Worthy of close inspection, ‘R93 TKV’ is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate valid until October 2026 by the time of sale and is accompanied by its original book pack.

Introduced in 2002, the MG TF was no mere facelift of the marque’s existing mid-engined, two-seater sportscar. Boasting a revised monocoque that was twenty percent stiffer than the outgoing F, the newcomer also featured an entirely new suspension system with coil-over units supplanting the previous Hydragas set-up. The result was a more focused, dynamically honed drive (albeit with a firmer ride). Reworked air induction tracts and ‘hotter’ camshafts increased the 1.6 litre and 1.8 litre K-Series engines’ power outputs too giving a welcome performance boost. Thus, even the 115 variant was reputedly capable of a sprightly 0-60mph in 9.2 seconds and 118mph. Announced on October 7th 2003, the Sunstorm SE was a limited edition model capped at 500 units. Available in Raven Black, Nightfire Red or Starlight Silver, it benefited from a leather steering wheel, Momo gear knob, bespoke Black leather / Gunsmoke Grey Alcantara upholstery, 16-inch alloys and MG/AP racing disc brakes.
Wearing number plates issued by the MG Rover dealership, Farnell Guiseley of Leeds, this Nightfire Red example is warranted to have covered a mere 44,000 miles from new with corroborating MOT history. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, it is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, current MOT certificate and two keys.

This nicely unmolested 1999 318i Convertible is finished in its attractive original colour scheme of Titan Silver with Black hide upholstery. Remarkably, it has had just three owners from new and covered just over 88,000 miles. It left the factory as a very well-specified example, notably with the M Sport styling kit, which really enhances the E36’s natural shape and adds a hint of muscle. Other features include M Sport suspension, an M leather steering wheel, white indicator lenses, electric windows, an automatically-dimming interior mirror, a warning triangle and first-aid kit, the BMW Business RDS radio, provision for a six-CD changer, automatic air-conditioning, a manually-adjustable steering column and BMW LA double-spoke wheels.
Of all the owners, it is the third and current registered keeper who has particularly cherished the BMW, having owned it since 2001. It was kept in continuous use up to 2015, after which it was placed into storage, hence its outstanding state of preservation. As can be seen from the photographs, both the exterior and interior of the car are in lovely order, with the leather upholstery just beginning to acquire a very attractive light patina. It is very rare nowadays to find an E36 as well-preserved as this.

Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, ‘speeding teardrop’ glasshouse and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded / riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by a supercharged 5.0 litre V8 engine developing some 510bhp and 413lbft of torque, the range-topping XKR variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 155mph. The standard fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to swap cogs by the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. The Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time 54,000 had been sold.
This desirable XKR convertible with only c.46,000 miles recorded benefits from a recent service and new battery. A cherished example, it is being offered from the widow whose late husband owned the car since 2017. Two former keepers are recorded on the HPI, it is offered with a fresh V5C for DN13 RUJ and it has a current MoT to October 2025.

The third-generation, seven-seater Renault Espace was launched in 1996 and, like its predecessors, used a galvanised steel spaceframe covered with a fibreglass skin. This generation also witnessed the launch of the long-wheelbase Grand Espace in 1998, and the top-of-the-range luxury Initiale model. This latter offering could be specified with a multitude of desirable features including metallic paint, leather upholstery, picnic tables, a remote-controlled Pioneer CD changer, heating and air-conditioning, power windows, and the three-litre overhead-cam V6 with four-speed automatic gearbox.
Though Espaces were once common, as the most expensive and best-appointed model, the Grand Espace Initiale V6 Automatic never was. In fact, sources indicate that, at its height, there were never more than 75 on British roads, and that figure is now down to nine, of which five are on SORN. This rare survivor from 2001 was first registered in Luton and is understood to have had just six owners from new. With a documented mileage of around 65,400, it has covered scarcely more than a dozen miles since 2016. Sold with the current V5C, a multitude of invoices and MOTs, plus two book packs containing a full set of owner’s literature, the Espace boasts an MOT with no advisories until March, 2026.

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.

Dodge never produced its mighty Viper for the British market, but it was made available for worldwide export if anybody cared to order one. Consequently, a few, although only a tiny number, did make their way to British shores. They were left-hand drive, of course, but that hardly mattered – nobody bought Vipers for convenience, they bought them instead because they offered raw, unbridled power and attention-grabbing looks in a package not offered by any British, European or Japanese car-maker. It was the pinnacle of American muscle-car excess, made all the more desirable by the fact that Dodge somehow managed to get it into production 20 years after federal legislators had done their level best to put an end to the muscle-car phenomenon. In short, it was a very special machine, and any British enthusiast who managed to get their hands on one must have felt like the cat who got the cream.
This 1999 Viper RT/10 was one of the very few that was supplied new to our sunny island, being registered in June, 1999, with the appropriately flashy number plate ‘77 FAB’. The sinister combination of Black paint, a Black leather interior and Black 18in alloy wheels ensured that it not only drove like a bat out of hell, but looked like one, too. There was even some slight concession to luxury, with the interior containing air-condition and an Alpine stereo system. Impressively, it has had just three registered keepers, all of whom have recognised it for the collector’s piece that it is. The first keeper enjoyed it until 2013, and the second kept it only until early 2014, by which time it had covered just 18,750 miles. With the third and present owner, it has been treated largely as an objet d’art. While it has been kept in continuous operation and MOTed annually, it has covered only around 500 miles since he purchased it.
The Viper has received seven services across its life, all of them by main agents. These include general services in 2007 (8,629 miles), 2008 (9,091), 2009 (10,834) and 2011 (14,110), plus a separate air-conditioning service in 2009. Of course, with such little use, it has not required a vast amount of maintenance, but a new power steering pump was fitted in 2019. As it appears now, the Dodge is in outstanding condition for its age, which is only to be expected after just 19,000 miles, and is offered with its original factory hardtop, and is currently shod with all-weather tyres with lots of tread left on them – obviously a valuable consideration in a car that spins its wheels with just the slightest encouragement. It has survived with a very intact history, which goes all the way back to its 2004 MOT certificate, issued at 4,411 miles, and runs through numerous MOTs thereafter. There a number of
invoices on file, including the present owner’s purchase invoice, plus records of the previous ownerships. The original owner’s manual is present, along with the current V5C. Furthermore, it comes with an MOT with no advisories until April, 2026, so it is ready to use and enjoy immediately. We do not know exactly how many (or perhaps we should say how few) Vipers were originally supplied to Great Britain, but of them all, there cannot be many which are as original, well-preserved, low-mileage and well-documented as this one.

There was a real confidence to Bentley and its products in the 1990s which is why it drew suit from both BMW and Volkswagen. Conceived as the most impressive and expensive convertible in the world, the Azure broke cover at the March 1995 Geneva Motor Show. Costing the equivalent of c.£460,000 in today’s money, part of the reason for its exorbitant price tag was that Pininfarina had not only styled the lavish four-seater but were also responsible for constructing its body shell and soft-top. Final assembly happened back at Crewe but having two sets of artisans working in different countries was never going to be cheap. Based on the same platform as its two-door Continental R sibling, the Azure did without any form of pop-up rollover hoop. Instead, its designers reinforced the windscreen, floor pan and sills to the tune of 190kg. Powered by a turbocharged version of Bentley’s belligerently ‘old school’ pushrod OHV 6.75 litre V8 allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the convertible was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and 150mph. Equipped with all round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, the Azure rode and handled far better than its generous dimensions suggested. Exquisitely trimmed with the finest leather, wood veneers and carpets available, it turned every journey into an occasion. Exuding a sense of majesty missing from its successors, the droptop Bentley was progressively evolved receiving a power boost to 385bhp/553lbft in 1997 and a facelift the following year. Visually distinguished by a matrix grille, restyled bumpers, new alloy wheels and revised upholstery featuring curved panels and partial ruching, the ‘new look’ Azure was even costlier. Just 243 of the 1,087 first generation Azures were to right-hand drive specification with a mere forty-five of these being completed during the 1998 model year.
A stunning example that is a real credit to its former keepers and which has formed part of a private, Isle of Man-based Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars since 2017, chassis CH61681 is finished in the delightful combination of Peacock Blue Metallic with Magnolia leather upholstery. The latter is elegantly contrasted by Blue piping, Blue carpets and a Blue dashtop not to mention the Blue ‘Winged B’ insignia woven into all four headrests.
Predominantly main dealer serviced at 835, 1,576, 1,637, 2,066, 2,282, 9,936, 13,909, 16,148, 18,436, 20,595, 23,635, 25,405, 29,965 and 30,810 miles, the Bentley is warranted to have covered 33,000 or so miles from new but presents far better than some nominally lower mileage cars. A note on file from David Wilks, the principal of marque specialist Silver Chalice Services Ltd and the man responsible for the Azure’s care over the past eight
years, recounts that he travelled to the Isle of Man every twelve months to inspect the car, carry out any work deemed necessary and clean its underside. Thus, in addition to servicing work Mr Wilks replaced the number one and number two accumulator spheres, fettled the brakes and cured an electric window fault. Still a wonderfully imposing motorcar, this gorgeous Azure is ready to grace another collection and comes with owner’s manual, stamped service book, Mr Wilks’ notes and its twin boot-mounted umbrellas etc.

Introduced in Autumn 1955, the MGA Roadster married a proven chassis design complete with independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering to a new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory’s successful EX182 prototype racers (5thand 6th-in-class at that year’s Le Mans) its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Continually updated, the MGA range was joined by Coupe and ‘Twin Cam’ variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively. Prompted by the latter’s performance advantage, the standard pushrod model received a capacity increase to 1588cc and front disc brakes in May 1959. The resultant ‘1600’ MKI was capable of almost 100mph.
Supplied new to North America, chassis 72448 had been off the road for some time when David Faulder Esq tasked Kingston Shipping Ltd of Hull with repatriating it from California. Arriving on these shores in 2002, the MG had been stripped to bare metal but otherwise little altered by the time it joined the Cambrian Collection fifteen years later. Since treated to an extensive restoration that has seen hundreds of man hours and thousands of pounds lavished on it, the Roadster is finished in Glacier Blue with Tan leather upholstery and a matching soft-top. Myriad invoices from Moss, Brown & Gammons and Midland Sports & Classics Ltd show that attention was paid to the correct-type B-Series 1600cc engine, suspension, steering, brakes, wiring, brightwork, clutch and ancillaries. Yet to be fully ‘run-in / debugged’, the MG is being offered for sale at a fraction of its refurbishment cost. Accompanying paperwork includes the original Customs & Excise 386 ‘duties paid’ form (dated August 30th 2002), other shipping documentation and numerous bills.

Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover’s stately P5 model range and the ex-Buick 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 engine resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and disc/drum brakes. Fitted with three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive. Though, with some 161bhp and 210lbft of torque on tap, it also boasted a 115mph top speed. Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B’s ‘gentlemen’s club’ interior made it a firm favourite with businessmen, politicians (Harold Wilson’s car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even Her Late Majesty The Queen, who owned an Arden Green Saloon. Production lasted until 1973 by which time 9,099 Coupes and 11,501 Saloons had been built.
According to the accompanying BMIHT certificate this RHD home market P5B was manufactured on 8 November 1972 and despatched on 15 November to supplying dealer Mann Egerton of Derby. Finished in Silver Birch over Bordeaux Red, as originally, following a bare metal respray, it was treated to a comprehensive restoration in 2006 by marque specialist David Green P5, and currently registers a credible c.67,000 miles. Upgraded with an electric fan and boasting a re-connolised interior, the car ran very well upon inspection. Even the heated rear seats are working. Featured in Classic & Sportscar magazine in January 2014 (copy in history file) this stylish coupe is offered with a collection of old MOTs back to 1976, old invoices, BMIHT certificate, DVD of the restoration, original tool kit, Swansea V5C and current MOT to April 2026.

One of the best styling trends of the early 2000s was the vogue for iridescent paints. Originally popular in the modified car scene, they found favour with some production car-makers, most notably TVR, but they were also offered with MGs ordered through the Monogram Bespoke Build scheme, which gave buyers freedom to choose from a range of special paint and interior colours, interior fabrics and other bespoke options. We are very pleased to offer a rare surviving MG TF ordered new through the Monogram scheme in the Spectre Chromactive paint.
This car has had only four owners, with the registered keeper acquiring it in 2013, when it was fitted with a new grey hood. It appears now as an excellent low-mileage survivor which has benefitted extensively from recent maintenance, including a new ignition coil and leads, head gasket, timing belt, water pump, camshaft oil seals and two tyres in 2019, when the head was skimmed as well, new rear brake discs and pads in 2021, a new lambda sensor in 2023 and a radiator overhaul in 2024. Perhaps most impressively of all, it has covered fewer than 38,000 miles and is offered with an MOT with no advisories valid until May, 2026. The thick history file contains the V5C, many MOTs, invoices and tax discs, plus service history.

Hailed by CAR magazine as the ‘nicest 911’ upon its 1982 launch, the Cabriolet would also prove to be the rarest SC variant with a mere 4,096 reportedly sold worldwide (the vast majority going to LHD markets). The marque’s first true soft-top in eighteen years, the model was lighter and sleeker than its successors thanks to a manual roof which sat lower in the hood well. Capable of nigh on 150mph, the 2+2-seater was just as much of a 1980s icon as the ‘brick’ mobile phone.
According to its accompanying history file, chassis 150375 was completed to UK market (C16) specification on 31st December 1982. Supplied new to William Mochrie Esq of Edinburgh by Glen Henderson Motors Ltd on 7th April 1983, the Porsche was in strong demand that decade being resold to Cambridge computer scientist Dr David Boris Johnson-Davies, renowned advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi and H.H. & S. Ltd of Savile Row. Factory finished in Grand Prix White with Black leather upholstery, the Cabriolet was better equipped than its Coupe and Targa siblings. Maintenance records on file date back to the 1990s and show that the 911 SC was upgraded with stainless steel SSI heat exchangers and a stainless steel silencer at 129,356 miles. A new clutch was installed at 137,952 miles and the anti-roll bar bushes renewed some 3,000 miles later with the inlet manifold and ignition box being replaced too. Little used by its last registered keeper following a posting overseas, he nevertheless spent some £10,600 with marque specialist Precision Porsche during October 2023 having ‘TSG 627Y’ thoroughly gone through.

A masterpiece of minimalist motoring, the Dante Giacosa designed ‘Nuova’ 500 was launched in 1957 to replace the famous and much loved 500 ‘Topolino’. Not so much styled as designed around the mechanicals and space for 2 adults and 2 (very small!) children the tiny bulbous body gave the 500 huge character and was an instant success both at home and abroad. Powered by a miniscule twin-cylinder 499cc air cooled engine and with a four speed crash gearbox the 500 was not as basic as it seemed with all independent suspension, and in later years a heater, headlamp flasher and full length sunroof as standard when many much more expensive cars still listed these as options. Progressively refined, though never substantially altered throughout an 18 year production run which lasted until 1975, even an estate model called the Giardiniera was produced which was surprisingly spacious due to the fact that the rear mounted engine was laid on its side.
Thought to have been supplied new in Italy and to have remained there until its importation to the UK during 2017, this delightful Fiat 500 F has self-evidently been the subject of much past restoration work. Consigned from a deceased estate, the late owner’s family tell us that he carried out various improvement works including having the four-seater retrimmed in Blue/Grey with White piping.

Happy to warrant the 75,000 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 and sundry paperwork.

With just 66,500 miles and three owners from new, this superb 2003 SL55 AMG is described by its owner as being in “excellent” condition in all areas. Its survival in such fine order can be attributed in part to its first owner, who kept it until 2021 and evidently lavished considerable care on it. Resplendent in its very pleasing original colour scheme of Tellurium Silver with a Graphite Grey interior, it has been a well-specified car from new, with original equipment including the AMG styling package (consisting of the front spoiler and side skirts), a CD changer and premium sound system, heated seats, and electric folding external mirrors.
The service book reveals that the SL55 has received nine services across its life, of which eight have been by a Mercedes main dealer. In the present ownership since 2023, it has been subject to much further care and attention in that time, with many new parts fitted including front tyres, Brembo front brake discs and pads, the battery, sparking plugs and coils, and rear suspension bushes. The wheels have also been professionally refurbished. In lovely order throughout, it is sold with an MOT with no advisories until October, 2026.

Very much a “one careful owner” machine, this eye-catching five-litre XK was purchased new by the vendor from Jaguar dealer Harwoods of Crawley in June, 2013, Harwoods having obtained it in March of that year. It has resided in Haywards Heath ever since, and has given the registered keeper great pleasure on the A-roads of Sussex, which lend themselves naturally to a spot of spirited motoring. Benefitting from the facelift which took effect in 2011, the XK makes for an alluring sight in its metallic Kyanite Blue paint, well-paired with an Ivory hide interior.
It still presents beautifully at 12 years old, having evidently been treated as a cherished possession. It retains the original sales receipt from Harwoods, plus the factory-issued owner’s handbook and service book. The Jaguar crossed the 63,000-mile threshold in 2021, was out of use for the duration of 2023 and returned to the road in 2024, but it has only been used very sparingly since, with the mileage still under 63,300 miles. As a consequence, it has never required a vast amount of attention, but the service book contains six stamps. Possibly one of the last of the great grand-touring Jaguars, XKs like this now offer tremendous value for money, and is offered with the V5C, which shows 1 previous keeper with the Jaguar registered new to the supplying dealer.

We are delighted to offer this 1937 Bentley 4¼ Litre, chassis B111JY, with its original Drophead Coupé bodywork by Park Ward, which has only recently arrived back in Britain after more than 50 years in single enthusiast ownership in California. Constructed during the winter of 1937, B111JY’s final specification included a Smiths speedometer and rev counter, a Weston ammeter, Dunlop wire wheels with India tyres, a Bentley radiator cap mascot, and a steering column one inch longer than standard. The chassis was tested on 5th February and delivered to Park Ward on 13th. Its first owner was a well-connected individual and a loyal Bentley enthusiast, Mr. H. W. L. Puxley of Langley End, near Hitchin, Hertfordshire. He had previously owned a vintage Three Litre model and, it seems, liked to be at the vanguard of automobile ownership – this early 4¼ Litre would have served as an upgrade to his 1934 3½ Litre (also from the early months of production), which was similarly equipped with Park Ward Drophead Coupé coachwork. Originally registered ‘DXM 223’, the completed B111JY was delivered to him on 1st April, 1937.
Henry Waller Lavallin Puxley (1898-1973) was the latest in a succession of Henry Puxleys, whose ancestral home was Dunboy Castle in Ireland. Also known as Hill End, Langley End originated as several farms which were sold as a package in 1910 and received new buildings by Edwin Lutyens. Completed by 1912, the main Langley End house was a handsome Georgian Revival edifice, and one of the last blossomings of the English country house tradition. The Puxleys had moved in by the 1930s, and, in 1940, Henry and his wife Naumai ‘Paddy’ (née Guinness) welcomed as a paying guest Daphne du Maurier, whose husband Tommy was in military service and stationed nearby. It was there that she wrote Frenchman’s Creek in 1941, and her interest in the Puxleys inspired 1943’s Hungry Hill, but she departed in 1942 after Paddy discovered that she and ‘Christopher’ – Daphne’s pet name for Henry – had become excessively fond of one another. Nothing else is known of the Bentley’s early life in Britain, but by 1969 it had entered the hands of Californians Deane Leo Crow and Dr. Laurence J. Crow and carried the registration number ‘XCT 863’. The Crows kept the Bentley at a large, handsome Modernist property in La Mesa, in the hills beyond San Diego, before moving to Salinas circa 1991. After more than 50 years in the Crow family, the Bentley was repatriated to Britain in 2020, but it was only submitted for registration in 2023. Consequently, this is a car which very few British enthusiasts have ever set eyes upon, and it’s sure to attract a crowd wherever it is taken, whether that’s a local village green car show or a Bentley Drivers’ Club concours. B111JY will certainly be eligible for some prestigious events, and fully deserves to be shown.
It was evidently well cared-for while in the Crows’ ownership, and exhibits signs of an older cosmetic refurbishment, including a repaint and retrim, all of which remains very well-preserved. The mohair hood has been described as “virtually new,” while the most significant attention the Bentley has received in recent years is the complete rewiring with period-correct, colour-coded, braided wires, which cost a total of £6,000. The Bentley has survived with some historic records in addition to post-import documentation. Together, they include the current V5C, copies of the original chassis build records, California Automobile Registration Cards from 1969, 1977, 1979 and 1991, a 1988 invoice from Winston Tires, an import pass, a dating letter from the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club and registration correspondence from the DVLA. It is also sold with a spare key. With hood raised or lowered, B111JY is an extremely attractive sight and altogether stands out as a very fine example of one of the greatest grand-touring cars of the prewar period. Offered at no reserve, it represents an opportunity not to be missed.

The X350 XJ was produced from 2003–2009 as the third generation XJ saloon. Buyer’s could choose V6 or V8 power with an optional supercharger on XJR and Daimler Super models. Designer Ian Callum updated the retro appearance of the late Geoff Lawson design and with full aluminium unibody chassis and bodywork the model was ready for the 21st century. Production ended in 2009 after 83,566 examples had been built.
Understood to have had one keeper since importation to the UK and one keeper before importation; in exceptional condition throughout and displaying just c.27,500 warranted miles, this Japanese import was recently treated to a £960 stage 3 detail and machine polish. Finished in gleaming Liquid Silver over Barley Sovereign leather with light Walnut trim that has been bookmatched so each side of the tray tables / dashboard and each door show the same pattern much like a Rolls Royce or Bentley. Other notable features include extended ‘Autolux’ leather around the transmission tunnel, rouching to the seats with contrasting piping and a harder wearing leather stitched dashboard.
The 20” Calisto wheels are in excellent condition and the brake calipers have just been cosmetically refurbished. The headlining has been renewed along with the sun visors using more modern material than the Jaguar cloth which tends to sag over time. The radio and SatNav have been converted to UK specification and the odometer fascia has been changed to show MPH rather than KMH. Optioned as a LWB with rear sun shades, picnic tables, rear memory seats, rear climate control, heated seats, and rear multimedia controller in the arm rest, the original Jaguar lambs wool floor mats remain in fine condition.

Introduced in 1987, the Pilgrim Sumo was styled after that undisputed king of the ‘muscle cars’, the AC Cobra 427. Initially based around Ford running gear, the well-engineered, easy-to-build Sumo soon became the best-selling Cobra evocation. Coming on stream in 1989, the MK2 version boasted a sturdier multiple-tube perimeter-frame chassis and the option of independent rear suspension. While a year later, Pilgrim bowed to customer pressure for a Sumo that could accommodate the legendary Rover 3.5 litre alloy V8. Still one of Pilgrim’s most popular kits, this latter derivative featured a different pedal box, radiator and revised engine / gearbox mountings. Great fun to drive and less ‘nose heavy’ than some of its bigger-capacity, iron-block V8 rivals, the Rover-powered Sumo further benefited from disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering.
Purchased from Pilgrim Motorsports as an unfinished project in 2021, ‘BWL 471Y’ has been transformed since joining the Cambrian Collection. Re-modelled, the two-seater’s bulbous fibreglass bodywork now sports wire mesh inserts to its nose and front / rear wings, while faux exhaust headers sprout from each flank. Finished in Ferrari Blue metallic with contrasting Brown leather upholstery, the Cobra 427 SC Evocation rides on Bronze-hued 18-inch alloys. Dressed with Edelbrock goodies and fed by a four barrel carburettor, the high compression Rover V8 4.6 litre engine is allied to five-speed manual transmission. Sounding as purposeful as it looks, the pared back Roadster also benefits from an oil cooler, aluminium radiator and projector headlights. Rewired as part of its refurbishment, the two-seater is registered with the DVLA as a ‘Pilgrim Sumo’ (rather than under its donor identity). Better built and better finished than many a Cobra 427 SC Evocation, ‘BWL 471Y’ is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate and history file.

A clean sheet design developed during BMW’s custodianship of Rover, the 75 won What Car magazine’s ‘Car of the Year’ award in 1999. Allying modern dynamics to pleasingly retro styling (both inside and out), the newcomer could be had with a range of petrol and diesel engines (1.8 – 2.5 litres) mated to either manual or automatic transmission. Available in Classic, Club or Connoisseur trim levels (with an SE variant of each), the 75 was never achieved the commercial successful it deserved. Indeed, according to the Rover 75 / MG ZT Club only 3,671 Rover 75 2.5 V6 Connoisseur SE models were ever made. Supplied new by Evans Halshaw of Birmingham on September 29th 2004, ‘DU54 XMY’ is warranted to have covered a mere 36,000 or so miles from new. The accompanying combined owner’s handbook / service history book records eight bouts of maintenance, the most recent being last year. Finished in the attractive combination of White Gold metallic with Sandstone leather upholstery, the Rover’s generous specification encompasses a wood veneer dashboard, wood / leather steering wheel, air-conditioning, automatic transmission, CD stereo, electric windows and heated / memory front seats. Benefiting from a vehicle health check and waxoyl treatment by Bristol Motors in March 2025, the saloon started readily and ran well during our recent photography session.

We are very pleased to offer this 1976 2500 TC, a fine example of the now-rare upmarket saloon which has survived in very original condition. It was sold new through the dealership Heron Rossleigh in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on 22nd October, 1976, and even retains its original dealer-supplied number plates and window sticker, and the service passport records the first owner as a gentleman from Arbroath. The service stamps reveal the Triumph had covered 28,719 miles by 1986 and 33,146 by 1996. Between 1996 and 2007 it covered only 1,600 miles, and the present mileage now stands at just over 47,600, again with very little use in recent years.
The Triumph’s condition has been sustained through sympathetic maintenance, which we believe took place shortly after 2013. This included thorough overhauls of the engine (with new main bearings installed) and brakes, a new clutch and steering rack, and a full bare-metal repaint in its original colour of Tahiti Blue. Described by the vendor as “a delight to drive and own,” this beautifully presented Triumph is offered with paperwork including the handbook and service passport, MOTs dating back to 1996 and tax discs back to 1998, plus an assortment of invoices.

Dating from very early in GranTurismo production and originally registered in Wimbledon as ‘LJ08 FHT’, this highly presentable and well-preserved example cuts a rather sinister dash in its original colour scheme of Grigio Granito Metallic with Red leather upholstery. Certainly appearing to have always been a well cared for example, there is a record of seven services completed as follows: marque specialist Verdi in 2011 (10,673 miles); by a main dealer in 2013 (18,425); by Verdi in 2015 (32,282); by Scuderia Scaglietti in 2016 (44,810); by an independent garage in 2018 (67,500) and 2020 (71,602) and by marque specialist Cowbridge in 2021 (73,697).
The vendor bought the car in 2022 and promptly returned it to Cowbridge for some minor works including the reconditioning of the alternator and fitment of a new battery and a new coolant expansion tank. Much additional work has been completed since, including ceramic-coating, installation of a new headlining, wheel refurbishment and attention to the suspension. Now having covered just 84,000 miles from new, the Maserati has more recently received another full service, and is sold with documented service history and an MOT until December, 2025.

For many enthusiasts today, the values of genuine Series 1 E-Type roadsters have risen to such heady heights that ownership is simply out of reach for most. Nevertheless, a proven and practical alternative can be found in a Challenger. The ‘Challenger’ E-Type was manufactured by Triple C from 1985 to 1992 and had the blessing of Jaguar. Using moulds taken from an original Series 1 3.8, dimensions are consequently accurate and Jaguar engines, suspension, instrumentation and brightwork could be fitted. In addition to the cost of ownership, other advantages over the original include a glass fibre body and galvanised chassis helping to minimise corrosion issues, better braking using XJ6 components, improved fuel economy with overdrive or 5-speed gearboxes and more modern electrical systems.
This Challenger was built using an XJ6 donor in 1989 and is powered by Jaguar’s iconic 4.2-litre straight-six with twin SU HS8 carburettors mated to 5-speed manual transmission. Purchased by the vendor over 20 years ago, the car features a Series 1 E-Type toggle switch dashboard, period registration number and manual choke. Kept in a dry garage and seeing regular use, especially during spring and summer months, OER 595 has benefited from considerable recent maintenance. Works within the past 5 years include; a complete rewire with multiple fuses and relays, the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust system including tubular manifolds, electronic ignition distributor and matched coil, Spax adjustable rear dampers and rear springs. The bodywork presents well, while the car stars on the button and sounds fantastic. An electric fan ensures it maintains an even temperature even when stationary for several minutes – something many owners of original examples dream of! Finished in Carmen Red over a black leather interior, this cherished example has covered just 14,000 miles since conversion. Registered with the DVLA still as the donor Jaguar 2.8 XJ6, with the engine size stated as 4235cc and the door plan as sports.

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 finishing 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.

Famously built as a mere showcase for Jaguar’s all-new 3442cc DOHC XK straight-six engine, the XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when it was unveiled at the 1948 London Motor Show. Utilising a shortened MKV chassis complete with independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes, the lithe two-seater possessed class-leading 120mph plus performance and roadholding. Such dynamic excellence was rewarded with numerous victories including the 1950 RAC TT and 1951 Liege-Rome-Liege Rally. Arguably, the defining sportscar of its generation, a perilously shaky post-WW2 British economy gave the Coventry manufacturer little choice but to concentrate on overseas sales. Introduced in April 1953, the Drophead Coupe was not only the last but also the rarest XK120 derivative. Offering significantly better weather protection than its roadster sibling, the newcomer featured a fully lined hood with integral frame and wind-up windows. An elegant looking machine regardless of whether its soft-top was up or down, the two-seater boasted a rich wood veneer dashboard and matching door cappings. Only in production between April 1953 and August 1954, 1,472 of the 1,767 XK120 Drophead Coupes which rolled off the Browns Lane assembly line were to left-hand drive specification. A desirable upgrade, the Special Equipment package encompassed a lightened flywheel, increased compression ratio and higher lift camshafts (yielding an extra 20bhp) plus a thicker anti-roll bar, increased diameter torsion bars and stiffer rear leaf springs.
According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis S677517 was completed on 24th June 1953. Despatched to Jaguar distributor, Charles H. Hornburg Jr of Los Angeles, early the following month, the Drophead Coupe had migrated to Galesburg, Illinois some fifty years later. Subject to much mechanical restoration work during the 2000s and 2010s including a thorough engine overhaul (fresh pistons, timing chains, bearings, cylinder head overhaul etc) and the fitment of new wire wheels, the XK120 was still very much a project when it joined the Cambrian Collection via The Beverley Hills Car Club for $44,000 in 2020. A summary sheet on file shows that a further £86,449.10 has been spent on the Jaguar since then. Extensively restored and repainted in its original Pastel Blue shade, the bodywork was complemented by recoloured leather upholstery, replacement wood veneers and a fresh Black soft-top. A new steering box and wiring loom were installed and attention paid to the brakes, suspension, fuel system and cooling system as well. The brightwork was rejuvenated and copper trims (sourced from Martin Robey) added to the rear wheelarches. Pleasingly understood to retain its factory-fitted engine, gearbox, back
axle and body tub, the Drophead Coupe was UK road registered as ‘679 XWF’ on April 1st 2025. Still needing to be ‘run-in / debugged’, this gorgeous XK120 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file. Still to left-hand drive specification, it would seem ideally suited to Continental adventures.

Every now and again, we encounter a car which seems almost – almost – too good to be true, and this exceptional Sunbeam Tiger is just such a car. With just three owners and a confirmed 10,200 miles from new, however, it really is every bit as good as it first appears. One of only 800 or so Tigers produced for the home market, ‘KLK 563D’ was sold through Godfrey Davis Ltd. of West Kensington on 13th June, 1966, and was originally owned by Mr. H. Jackman of Northwood, Middlesex. It then enjoyed some time in the ownership of Mr. Clive Williams, a medical consultant from Leamington Spa, before it was acquired by the vendor in 1979, when it had covered only around 7,650 miles. The vendor was, even then, a confirmed enthusiast, having at first gone to view and perhaps purchase an old Brooklands racing car. The Tiger was parked next to it, however, and his wife expressed how much she liked the V8 Sunbeam, leading to the purchase deal being done. The vendor, we might add, had been a Rootes franchisee in 1963, later becoming a main dealer, so he well understood what a desirable car he was buying, and he has built up over the years a very impressive and sensitively-curated collection of Rootes products.
The vendor remained at the helm of his dealership until 1989, long after the Rootes Group had been incorporated into Chrysler Europe and that, in turn, had been swallowed up by Peugeot. It was, in fact, the vendor’s wife who was to be the Sunbeam’s chief driver, and she took it out on a number of classic car runs over a period of around 25 years, its last event being the 2003 Mencap Classic Transport Run. From 2006, it was placed into dry storage and has only just emerged from a period of recommissioning. After 40 years of light use and 19 years of storage in a well-ventilated environment, we are confronted with what may very well be the most original and best-preserved Sunbeam Tiger in existence. The chassis, engine and gearbox are all matching numbers, the interior is exceptionally original and the vast majority of the paint is the factory finish. It is all still in wonderful order and complete with its factory hardtop. The interior especially is extraordinary – the seats and the wood-rimmed steering wheel seem barely to have aged since they left the factory.
The car came out of hibernation in the spring of this year to commence recommissioning, which involved the fitment of several new parts including a stainless-steel exhaust system, a radiator, and brake callipers, hoses and wheel cylinders. The fuel pump was overhauled and the rest of the car benefitted from very thorough checks. We believe the car is now ready to enjoy although, after such a long time off the road, we encourage bidders to satisfy themselves as to its condition before use. As it presently appears, ‘KLK 563D’ is
very much a car for the connoisseur. In its time-warp condition, it has the potential to be the jewel in the crown of any collection of British sports cars and, if taken to rallies and concours, would stand a very strong chance of going home with a preservation award. It is offered for sale with the current V5C, an original owner’s manual, the original service book (showing entries at 516 miles in 1966 and 2,650 miles in 1967), almost every MOT certificate from 1975 to 2006, and a vast collection of invoices, including those pertaining to the recent recommissioning.

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

In production since 1955 and aimed primarily at the domestic Japanese and select Asian markets, the Crown was introduced as the Toyopet Crown and has long been popular for official use in Japan as government transport, police cars and taxis. Australia was at one time an important export market, to the extent the model was manufactured there from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s using many local components. The fourth-generation Crown was launched in February 1971 and was the first version to be officially known worldwide as the Toyota Crown.
This example, fitted with 2600cc engine and manual transmission, is reputed to be in good condition underneath with solid sills and wheel arches. Imported from South Africa, the car displays an indicated c15,000 km and is finished in Toyota white with black vinyl interior.

In 1962, a revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, design number ‘ADO16’ was a collaboration between Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. It was fitted with a transverse A-series engine driving through the front wheels like the earlier Mini. Thanks to BMC badge-engineering, the ADO16 was offered in many guises as a Morris, Austin, Wolseley, Vanden Plas, MG and Riley which made it truly universal in its appeal. Launched as the 1100 as the Mk. I was offered initially with the 1,098cc A-series, in 1967 the Mk. II was announced which included slight restyling, while the more sporting models were upgraded with the 1,275cc engine.
Attractively finished in its lovely original colour scheme of Bermuda Blue with a Black leather interior, this MG 1300 Mk. II displays a credible 70,000 miles and was treated to an extensive mechanical refresh including full engine and gearbox overhauls in 2025. A RHD, home-market example, it was built on 4-5th December, 1968, and dispatched to Hewens Ltd. of Maidenhead, Berkshire, on 27th January, 1969. It is offered with a BMIHT Certificate, handbooks and manuals, numerous invoices and MOT certificates, recent car show awards and, although exempt, an MOT to April, 2026.

Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque’s first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel. Equipped with sophisticated independent suspension and ventilated ABS disc brakes, it proved an accomplished transcontinental express. Unveiled for the 2005 model-year, the Mulliner Driving Specification boasted 20-inch 7-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and diamond quilted upholstery / door cards etc.
Supplied originally by HR Owen this example is fitted with the 6.0 W12 powerplant and displays a warranted c.41,000 miles from new. Finished in the rare combination of Cumbrian Green over Cognac it comes with a list of factory options fitted including Mulliner Driving Specification and TV Tuner and has 10 services recorded, 8 of which have been completed by Bentley main agents. Offered with current V5C it is expected to possess a new MOT in time for the sale. Please note the cherished registration is being retained.

Entering production on September 20th 1995 and given a tremendous boost when Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond appeared driving one in that year’s Goldeneye film, the Z3 was soon trading at above list price. Not available in the UK until July 1996, early versions were powered by BMW’s M44 1.9 litre DOHC engine (140bhp/133lbft) allied to either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Stylish and fun, the first generation Z3 is also surprisingly inexpensive to tax and insure.
Completed on January 6th 1997 to right-hand drive, UK market specification, chassis LB01292 was finished in Light Red with two-tone Oregon / Sand Beige leather upholstery and a Black soft-top. Further boasting a sports leather steering wheel, manual gearbox, electric windows, fog lights, velour floor mats and LA Z line wheels, the two-seater is reported to have been registered to different members of the same family from new (most recently passing from grandfather to grandson). Warranted to have covered some 86,000 miles (with corroborating MOT history back to 2006), the BMW started readily and ran well during our recent photography session.

The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL roadster, produced from 1989 through 2002, was a two-door, two-seat roadster with automated (electro-hydraulic) collapsible textile roof, and a shell-like colour-matched tonneau cover. All came standard with an aluminium detachable hardtop. The number of standard features was high, including electric windows, mirrors, seats and hydraulic convertible top. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder petrol engine of 220bhp and remained in production to 2002.
Displaying c.77,000 miles and finished in Brilliant Silver over black leather, this well-presented example comes with panoramic hard top and air diffuser. Included in the sale are 5 original R129 wheels including a full size spare with tyre alongside the OZ racing wheels fitted. It also has a full jacking kit and medical bag. On consignment, the car started, ran and moved quietly and smoothly throughtout the photo session and the vendor was keen to display how the hard top operated off the button. With 3 owners from new, R457 AMA has been in current ownership for 25 years and dry stored since 2014. Coming to auction with a large history file, invoices, bookpack, Swansea V5c and current MoT to May 2026, it is expected to be serviced prior to sale.

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.

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.

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.

Beautifully presented in its original colour scheme of Tartan Red with a Black roof and Black upholstery, this Austin Mini Cooper S was built on 13th May, 1969, and despatched on 16th May to Carlaw Cars Ltd. in Glasgow. It is believed to have lived always in Scotland thereafter until 2012, when it was sold by the long-term owner (since 1996) as a project requiring total restoration. The next owner (who did not register the car in his name until 2014) thus began a comprehensive and meticulous restoration which only reached completion in 2021.
Happily, the original body shell was saveable and, after acid-dipping, much of the bodywork restoration was performed by Huddersfield Mini Spares between 2016 and 2017. The same business was responsible for much of the subsequent work, which included the installation of a genuine, fully-reconditioned Cooper S engine, subframe replacement, a comprehensive mechanical overhaul with many new parts, and the fitment of the trim and other fittings. The final stages of the restoration took place between 2019 and 2021, with light fettling and other small jobs performed by Minimine and a local classic car garage.
Already finished to an extremely high standard, the Mini was purchased from us in 2022 by the present father-and-son owners, who undertook a few further improvements and changes, including fitting a new steering rack and carpeted boot board. They also swapped the Dunlop D1 alloy wheels for period rose-petal wheels, at a cost of £600, each with a new tyre. Other changes included a new leather-rimmed steering wheel and the installation of seatbelts. In the vendors’ words, the paint and interior are “very good” while the bodywork, mechanicals and electrics are all “excellent.” Still a beautiful sight for years after its restoration, ‘UGD 745H’ is to be sold with the current V5C, historic sales literature, a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, plus many photographs and invoices from the restoration, the latter totalling around £40,000.

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

Elegantly bodied and tastefully presented, this agreeably original 1936 25/30 carries Sports Saloon coachwork by Hooper and impressively retains detailed history from new. Factory records reveal the chassis of ‘GLP26’ was under construction by September, 1937, and after despatch to Hooper it was completed by 6th December. The first owner was one Captain Nicholson, who covered 10,000 miles in the first year but had to place the car into storage while the war raged. The second owner, C. G. Waterman Harrison, purchased it in October, 1951, and the history then goes quiet until January, 1960, when it was sold by Loxhams Garage Ltd. in Preston to a Major Francis with a recorded 91,000 miles. The major happened to be an enthusiast, and it would remain in his family until 1982, being enjoyed along the way at events such as the 1962 RREC Blenheim Palace Rally and the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebrations on 6th May, 1977, at Windsor Great Park and Ascot.
During the 1980s, the Rolls-Royce changed hands a few times and saw some filming use, before restoration work commenced in 1986. This included some repainting and bodywork repairs, plus a new dust door and felt floor for the boot. Some woodwork in the left-hand door was renewed and so was the headlining, while all the exterior chrome was replated.
The present owner acquired the 25/30 in 2009, and in 2010 presented it to marque specialist RR & B Garages for a full engine overhaul, which cost c.£23,000. In 2018, the front seats were refurbished with new leather covers, and in 2020 some new seat cushions were made. Having seen only light use in recent years, ‘GLP26’ would certainly reward the owner who intends to enjoy it at rallies and on tours.

A rival to the Ferrari Dino 246 GT in period, Porsche thoroughly reworked its 911 range for the 1972-model year. Powered by an enlarged 2341cc (‘2.4’) SOHC six-cylinder engine allied to either five-speed manual (Type 915) or Sportmatic transmission, the newcomer also benefited from revised rear suspension mountings which improved roadholding over imperfect road surfaces. Labelled internally as the ‘E-Series’, the 2.4 litre models produced during the 1972-model year (August 1971 – July 1972) further boasted a more centrally located dry sump oil tank which in turn necessitated the fitment of an external flap to facilitate filling. Christened the ‘Oel Klappe’, its location towards the top of a B-post is alleged to have prompted unwitting petrol station attendants to pump fuel into the oil tank with predictably serious consequences. Thus, for the ‘F-Series’ and subsequent 911 derivatives Porsche repositioned the oil tank aftwards to ensure it could only be topped up from within the engine bay. Perceived as a design flaw when new, the rarity of surviving ‘Oel Klappe’ examples means that they are particularly sought after today. Typically carburettor-fed, the 911 T boasted some 130bhp / 145lbft of torque and was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 128mph.
One of just 1,963 so-called ‘RoW’ (Rest of the World) 911 T Targas made during the 1972 model year, chassis 9112511486 is believed but not warranted to retain its original, Zenith carburettor fed 2.4 litre engine (number 6522794). Thought to have begun life on mainland Europe, the Porsche was first UK road registered on 16th December 1982. Undergoing a colour change from White to Blue some fifteen years later, it is also understood to have been converted from left- to right-hand drive. The subject of extensive recent restoration work, it joined the Cambrian Collection as the result of a legal dispute. Substantially complete, at least in terms of its major components, ‘CTV 511K’ requires finishing off but offers a new owner the opportunity to put his / her stamp on the project.

The supercharged S-Type R joined the lineup in 2002, the hope being it would compete with BMW’s M5 and the Mercedes E55 AMG. The R was powered by the newly revised 4.2-Litre V8 with an Eaton M112 supercharger, producing 400 hp and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. It included 18-inch alloy wheels, wire-mesh grille, and monochromatic paint.

A collaboration between two of America’s most iconic brands, the Harley Davidson Edition option package first became part of Ford’s F-150 pick-up range in 2000 and continued through to 2012 (thus traversing the tenth, eleventh and twelfth generations). Visually distinguished by monochromatic Black exterior trim and saddle-bag style, stitched ‘flame’ motifs to the cabin, the HD Edition was at its most desirable for the 2002 and 2003 model years when it also included a supercharged 5.4 litre V8 engine (shared with the slightly higher tuned SVT Lightning model). Thankfully, the tenth generation F-150 was also the first to feature independent front suspension and so better able to cope with the forced induction motor’s 340bhp/425lbft. Although, uprated brakes and a limited slip differential helped too. A true muscle truck with arresting aesthetics, the 2002 and 2003 model years Harley Davidson Editions are now increasingly sought after with total production thought to have been c.12,000 units. Build number 07550 shows a modest 78,000km to its odometer (c.49,000 miles) and is thus thought to have been originally destined for Europe.

A desirably early example dating from 2005, it presents now in an extremely well-preserved state of originality, having covered just over 44,100 miles from new. As a consequence, the vendor deems it to be in “excellent” condition in all areas, and if you examine the photographs you will probably find yourself in agreement.
It has been well cared for and maintained all its life, with the service book revealing that it has received a total of 12 services, of which nine were performed by a Bentley main dealer, two by Bentley specialist Hillier Hill and one by an independent garage. Continental GTs as lovely as this are hard to come by these days, and we refer not just to the condition of this car but also its specification; the colour scheme is exceptionally well-chosen and the lavish burr wood trim elevates the interior to a level of luxury seldom encountered. A truly outstanding example of the model, this Bentley is sold with an MOT with no advisories until September, 2026.

Revamped for 1987, the Esprit was restyled by Peter Stevens (later of McLaren F1 fame) who gave the model a more rounded, softer look, coincident with which Lotus introduced a new, more automated body manufacture process called VARI (Vacuum Assisted Resin Injection). Complete with Kevlar reinforcement to the roof and sides, this made the new model (codenamed X180) twenty-two percent stiffer than its predecessor. Underneath little had changed, the two-seater being based on a galvanised steel backbone chassis powered by the company’s four-cylinder 2174cc engine that offered 172bhp in normally aspirated form. The unit was mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was fully independent by wishbones and coil springs at the front and unequal length transverse links, radius arms and coil springs at the rear. Braking was by discs all round and steering by rack and pinion. The normally aspirated cars could be readily distinguished from the Turbo examples by the lack of a glass shield between the flying buttresses. The manufacturer’s quoted performance figures were in line with expectations, 0-60mph coming up in 6.5 seconds and 138mph being achievable flat out.
Acquired by its second keeper, D.E. Martin Esq, from marque specialist White Dove Garages on March 14th 1990, chassis 13308 was to remain in his possession until joining the Cambrian Collection last year. Taken off the road shortly after passing a MOT test on November 9th 2010 at an indicated 30,851 miles, the Lotus has recently been subject to various recommissioning works. Repainted and retrimmed in the striking combination of Imperial Blue Metallic with Cream leather upholstery, it is hoped but not guaranteed that the mid-engined two-seater will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Understood to be one of only 290 normally aspirated ‘X180’ Esprits made, ‘LIL 9747’ is accompanied by an original owner’s handbook and sundry bills.

Triumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer’s reputation. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Left-hand drive markets accounted for 7,853 sales - the vast majority of Series II Roadster production - with several American states providing kinder climates than our own.
Completed to left-hand drive specification on August 25th 1970, chassis 2R14542 was initially despatched to Jaguar Cars, New York early the following month. Since repatriated with all relevant duties paid and NOVA paperwork issued, the Jaguar was stripped in anticipation of a comprehensive restoration which has since stalled. The body tub and associated panels are understood to have been refurbished by marque specialist Swift Engineering of Brockenhurst. A right-hand drive pedal box has been installed and numerous new parts sourced for the project. The 4.2 litre engine has been disassembled but comes with sump, cylinder head, crankshaft and assorted internals.

Traditionally associated with American muscle and Japanese drift cars, the Fast & Furious franchise surprised viewers when a much-modified Jensen Interceptor Mk. III burst onto the screen in 2013’s Fast & Furious 6 It was not the natural environment for a British GT, but the film proved popular and spawned a wave of imitations, of which this is one.
Its known history begins when it was owned by Mr. John Hunter Leitch of Richmond, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, from 1990 to 2007, and then by Mr. Varinder Sehdeva until 2018. Invoices from 2008 suggest Mr. Sehdeva invested heavily in renovations. When sold in 2018, it was painted Lamborghini Orange, but the new owner immediately commenced the conversion to a Furious tribute. It has received many cosmetic modifications including a repaint in metallic Grey, removal of the bumpers and the fitment of side exhaust pipes, custom lights and split-rim wheels. The interior has received modern Recaro seats, black diamond-quilted upholstery, a Billet Specialties steering wheel, Speedhut semi-digital gauges, and more. The customisation culminated with an engine overhaul in 2022 by Richard Appleyard Engineering, which cost around £5,400 plus parts, and included a +0.010in rebore, bringing the displacement up to 8.2 litres, with new pistons, rings, main and big-end bearings, a new oil pump and so on. The brakes, steering and suspension have also been upgraded.
Purchased by the vendor in early 2023, it has since benefitted from further improvements by Cotswold Classic Car Restorations totalling £21,500. Most significant were the fitment of a reconditioned automatic transmission, modification of the oil system and a partial rewiring. The brakes have received attention and new parts have included a gearbox mount, the fuel tank sender and a window motor. Finally, in September, 2025, the bonnet, wings and rear panel were repainted for £2,200 by the Ashley Davis Bodyshop. It is offered for sale with the current and some historic V5Cs, invoices back to 2008 and some MOTs back to 2010.

We are very pleased to offer this rare, low-mileage and tastefully-specified Arnage RL. The original combination of Cypress Green metallic paint, Parchment hide and burr oak upholstery is, to our eyes, a timelessly elegant combination suggestive of old-fashioned British luxury, although under the skin the Arnage was cutting-edge for its day. It was originally sold through Ribble Valley Motor Cars of Blackburn, with additional equipment including the 12-spoke, 19in alloy wheels and the famous ‘Flying B’ mascot. As one of the first Arnages built for the 2008 model year, it represents one of the most desirable variations of the model, with attractive facelifted styling, the “roller rocker” engine, a six-speed automatic gearbox and improved instrumentation.
The full specification would make for very lengthy reading, but highlights include a rear Champagne cooler for two bottles, integrated front and rear telephones, a pair of umbrellas, reclining heated seats, power folding mirrors, individual rear air-conditioning, built-in satellite navigation, a CD autochanger, an electronically-adjustable steering column, a hands-free system and a reversing camera. A car so beautifully finished was made to be cherished, and indeed it has always been well-maintained, with services being completed almost every year since 2010 (when it had covered 20,593 miles). Nine were performed by authorised Bentley dealers and three were undertaken by marque specialists, while a thirteenth was entrusted to a BMW dealer. Now with just over 44,000 miles behind it, its latest service was completed earlier this year by well-known specialist Flying B. Recent maintenance has included new front and rear brake discs and pads, plus sensors and an auxiliary belt, being purchased from BCI in 2021 for £1,600, and the re-Connolising of the interior earlier this year by Leathercare, which cost £1,000.

The Daihatsu Copen is a 2-door convertible ‘Kei’ car (the smallest category of Japanese road-legal motor vehicle) built by the Japanese car company Daihatsu. The Copen was originally designed with a 660cc turbocharged engine, in order to meet Kei car regulations in Japan, coupled with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions. However, since the 660cc engine did not meet environmental emissions standards in several other countries, the Copen was fitted with a more powerful but cleaner 1.3-litre, naturally aspirated engine for these markets after October 2007. The First Generation was available between 2002 and 2012, its styling reputedly inspired by the Nissan Figaro and Audi’s TT Roadster with fresh air motoring available via an electric hide-away hard top roof. Between 2002 and 2007 there also existed a variation with a detachable top.
Finished in silver with a red interior, this characterful right-hand drive First Generation Copen dates from 2009 and currently registers some 124,000 miles on its odometer. Fitted with a Cobra alarm system, it is accompanied by assorted invoices, original owner’s wallet, current Swansea V5c document, MOT to February 2026 and original service book. Imported to the UK at some point, it is temptingly offered at no reserve.

Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Land Rover Series IIA benefitted from an improved cooling system and the arrival of a 2.25-litre diesel engine. Export models had their headlamps repositioned in the front wings for 1968 with domestic Landies gaining the same revised visage the following year. Phased out of production in 1971 to make way for the Series III, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Series Land Rover ever made.
A rare opportunity to acquire a true ‘Searle Carawagon’, the vendor has owned this example since 2021 since when he has enjoyed using it for camping trips and overlanding.
It has also been featured in a Land Rover Life article focusing on green laning and camping with the Searle. Fitted with gas hob, pull-out bed, pop-top, original roller shutters, original 3 matching padlocks, fly screens for the dash vents (as mentioned on build sheet) and built in sink - the interior materials match the other example being offered in the sale and are understood to be original, minus the lack of flock on the pop-top ceiling. Offered with invoices, current V5C, original build sheet and period correspondence, together with a written history of works carried out.

Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded/riveted aluminium construction and all-round independent suspension. Powered by either a 4.2 litre V8 or 5.0 litre engine, both in supercharged or naturally aspirated form, the standard-fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to change by steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts.
Finished in Slate grey over Ivory leather with walnut veneers this BG07 KPV presents in excellent condition and registers a warranted c.73.000 miles from new. Driven by our specialist at time of consignment who commented on it’s smooth engine and gearbox with no unexpected noises or rattles. This car has been maintained by Elite & Performance Jags of Derby since the vendor bought it in 2022; in April this year, the car was serviced alongside new track rod ends fitted at a cost of £947.00 and In 2024 a further £2,068.72 was spent on a new battery, ARB Droplink, Wishbone arms and reset of the electric hood. Recently MOT’d with no advisories, the car comes with a detailed spreadsheet breakdown of expenditure since purchase in 2022 totalling c.£5,500 and V5C document.

This 1968 TR4A with original factory IRS recently benefitted from an extremely thorough restoration. Built as a LHD North American export model, it was originally Triumph Racing Green with Black leather trim and a Black hood, and retailed through the Leyland Motor Corporation of North America’s Central Zone Office in Baltimore, Maryland.
In 2019 the Triumph was imported back into Britain. Between March, 2020, and March, 2021, extensive bodywork repairs were undertaken by Target Engineering. New metalwork extended to the sills, floorpan, inner arches, A- and B-posts and beyond, and the body shell was protected with stonechip. After the bodywork, Target overhauled the SU HS6 carburettors, and in 2022 they refreshed the differential with new seals and bearings, and replaced the rear wheel bearings and drive shafts. Target also undertook a right-hand drive conversion and fitted new wire-wheel hub adapters, the work exceeding £13,000 excluding parts.
A further £1,323 was spent on the Triumph with IK Classics in May, 2025. Still in excellent order, it boasts an MOT with no advisories until July, 2026. It is to be sold with the current V5C, a BMIHT certificate, many invoices, a copy of the 2003 Massachusetts title, the Triumph TR4 TR4A 1961-67 Autobook by Autopress Ltd. and a facsimile of the Standard-Triumph Triumph TR4 & TR4A Workshop Manual

Even by the superlative standards of the BMW M-cars commencing with the M1 in 1978, the E39 M5 produced from 1998 to 2003 is generally regarded as a standout model. Powered by a rev-hungry 4941cc V8 developing 394 bhp, the super Saloon was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 155mph (limited). The M5 received the September 2000 facelift at the same time as the standard E39 models including halogen “corona rings” in the headlights (often called “Angel Eyes”), LED tail-lights and various interior upgrades. The mechanical specification was unchanged.
1 of just 2,595 right-hand drive E39 European examples manufactured, this M5 is finished in Carbon Black with Silverstone trim and displays a modest mileage of under c.133,000 from new. In current ownership since 2005, with just 1 former keeper recorded on HPI, it comes with an extensive history file including, invoices, owner’s manuals, original price list and stamped service book. In 2014, the engine was overhauled by BMW M-Power specialist MR VANOS at 112,000 miles at a cost of £3,937. It benefits from a mainly BMW service history, while the alloys were recently refurbished and shod with Michelin Pilot Sports. An original BMW roof rack is included along with a current MOT to June 2026.

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZKS102355
Developed under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show of September 1983. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model’s 3164 cc (hence ‘3.2’) flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to a five-speed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios slightly raised. Among other improvements was a redesigned timing chain tensioner – the Achilles heel of the earlier engines. Early examples of the 3.2 employed the 915 type manual gearbox with reverse gear located beneath fifth, while 1987 to 1989 models had the stronger G50 unit in which reverse was located beside the fifth ratio. Built to a simpler, lighter specification than those headed to other countries and unaffected by the heavy pedal offset which blighted every right-hand drive incarnation of the 911 up until the 996, German market (or ‘C00’) cars have long been revered by marque purists.
This desirable ‘last of the line’ K Program Carrera 3.2 coupe with the preferred G50 manual gearbox was originally supplied to a customer in Germany by Porsche Zentrum. In purer, left-hand drive ‘C00’ specification, it has been in the current ownership since 1997 following purchase from a friend and registers some 171,000 km (c.106,627 miles) from new. Finished in Dark Blue with Black leather upholstery, ‘F414 RVL’ has been subject to an extensive mechanical, engine and bodywork restoration which was completed in c.2024. Many of the parts supplied came from Rennspeed and Gantspeed Engineering Limited with genuine Porsche panels also being used. The Porsche was finished off by being painted by Retford Autofinishers in its original hue.

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 it entered the Cambrian Collection during 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 vendor 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!

Chassis No: CR/12470
First registered on the 3rd April 1973, chassis CR/12470 was specified as a UK market right hand drive machine with a J-Type overdrive transmission. Little is known of the early history of the two-seater; however, it is understood that during the 2000’s a previous owner commissioned a total bare chassis restoration which is evidenced in the history file. This included the replacement of several body panels and a complete respray in its present red livery. The interior was restored during this time, with the fitment of a full new black carpet set and more comfortable Mazda MX-5 seats retrimmed in period correct high quality black leather with contrasting red-piping. Mechanically, the entirety of the engine, transmission, brakes and suspension were subjected to overhaul work, which also included the replacement of the troublesome PI (petrol-injection) system with more reliable twin-SU carburettors.
Acquired by the current keeper in 2019, the TR6 must surely be one of the finest offered to market today and is described by the vendor as presenting as ‘very good to excellent’ all rounds. It is said to have been mainly in dry storage with minimal use since the restoration. This year however, it was recommissioned for an 800-mile round trip to Le Mans Classic, which included a front brake calliper and master cylinder overhaul and the fitment of a new battery. Supplied with its history file including receipts from the restoration and more recent maintenance work, plus its UK V5C, it is also supplied with a workshop manual, plus a jack and wheel brace.

Chassis GLZ 32 carries an understated but elegant partitioned limousine body by Hooper (design no. 5104 and body no. 7820), usefully specified with twin spare wheels. It retains its original engine, number V5S. Its history prior to the 1980s is somewhat obscured, but we know the first owner was Mrs. N. Miesegaes, whom we believe was part of a prominent Rolls-Royce and Bentley-owning family. Robert Miesegaes was a prolific Bentley buyer during the 1920s and ’30s and Gustaf Miesegaes bought a 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental sedanca new, so it seems probable that Mrs. Miesegaes was a relative.
GLZ 32 was purchased by the previous owner in 1986. It has evidently received some refurbishment in the past and still presents very well, with the interior demonstrating several especially nice period-appropriate features such as Bedford cord upholstery and decorative marquetry. From a cursory inspection, the wood frame appears to line up well and the doors shut with minimal force.
Ill health prevented the previous owner from driving the 20/25 in the latter part of his ownership, and when it was acquired by the vendor it was found to need some recommissioning work to get it running reliably. Our vendor is very experienced with pre-war Rolls-Royces, and it has benefited from an oil service, work to the pipes leading to the auto-vac fuel pump and a deep clean to get it up to standard. Having recently completed several long trips including a tour of the New Forest, GLZ 32 is supplied with the starting handle, plus some tools, which we believe to be original.

The Austin Metro was introduced in October 1980 with the red hot special edition becoming available in September 1988. As is the case with many other models of Metro, it was powered by the ‘A’ series 1275cc 60bhp engine and buyers could option either a 4-speed all-synchromesh manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission. With independent front and rear suspension and ventilated front brake discs it was clear that the Red Hot was a great stepping stone for those who wanted MG looks for a fraction of the price. Around 2,000,000 Austin Metro’s were made between 1980 and 1998.
Displaying a credible c.36,000 miles, this Red Hot example is powered by the 1275cc unit and is understood to be one of only nine survivors left in the UK. The vendor describes the condition as very good and has enjoyed driving this little Austin these past few years with it’s automatic gearbox making it feel ‘like a go kart’. Offered with an original sales brochure, handbook, 1988 price list and specification sheet, it is also accompanied by assorted invoices and a current Swansea V5c.It is understood a new MoT will be in place by the time of the sale.

Reg No: 3618 NG MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GHN5211656
Taking its name from the initials of company founder and aeronautical design engineer Nick Green, NG Cars began operations in October 1979. Introduced two years later, the NG TC was a rakish, boat-tailed two-seater underpinned by a sturdy low-slung box-section chassis equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle, rack and pinion steering and disc / drum brakes.
Based on a MG B donor car, this particular NG TC is thought to have been completed almost forty years ago when it was re-registered from ‘BVB 206H’ to ‘3618 NG’. Finished in British Racing Green with Black upholstery and a wood veneer dashboard, it sports a side-mounted spare fuel can, rear luggage grid, truncated running boards, twin aero screens and Aston Martin badging. Powered by a 1.8-litre B-Series four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, the lightweight two-seater should feel decidedly sprightly on the road. Uprated with a Kenlowe cooling fan, the NG TC bears a sticker for the Federation Canadienne du Sport Automobile and so may well have spent time abroad. An appealing blend of 1930s looks and 1970s performance, ‘3618 NG’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document.

The arrival of the Bentley T1 in 1965 came none too soon and, together with the Shadow, did much to reverse the notion that Rolls-Royce was falling behind the times. It certainly resulted in many firsts for the company, including unitary construction rather than separate body/chassis units, disc rather than drum brakes and independent rear suspension. Though 7in shorter and 3.5in narrower than the Bentley S3 it replaced, the John Polwhele Blatchley-penned T1 nevertheless possessed greater space for both luggage and passengers and boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch, it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6230cc, though this was enlarged to 6750cc during 1970.
1 of only 1,711 Bentley T1s produced, ‘RYY 240K’ is finished in dark over light Green Metallic with a Green hide interior and comes from long term previous ownership with just 2 former keepers recorded on HPI. Understood to be a low mileage example with reference made to an odometer change in the history file this example comes complete with original specification interior which has footstools and companion mirrors to the rear and front armrests. We understand new sills were fitted in 2021 and the Bentley is offered with a collection of invoices, sales and service book, old MOT certificates, current V5C document and will be driven to the sale.

The new Jaguar S-Type debuted at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show and was marketed between 1999 and 2008. The supercharged S-Type R joined the line-up in 2002, the hope being it would compete with BMW’s M5 and the Mercedes E55 AMG. The R was powered by the newly revised 4.2-litre V8 with an Eaton M112 supercharger, producing c.400 bhp and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. It included 18-inch alloy wheels, wire-mesh grille, and monochromatic paint.

Some cars are epoch-defining, and the high-performance versions of the Subaru Impreza fuelled the dreams of an entire generation of rally enthusiasts, not to mention the children of the ’90s and early 2000s who discovered the joys of motor sport through Gran Turismo and Colin McRae Rally. How many of those children had a poster of an Impreza exactly like this P1 on their bedroom wall, we can only begin to imagine…
Indeed, this very machine, one of just 1,000 P1s produced, still appears as something of a pin-up car on account of its truly outstanding original condition. Having covered only 68,000 miles from new with one very sympathetic owner, its appearance is hardly that of your average 25-year-old car. Originally sold through Subaru agents Farmers Garage Ltd. of Matlock, Derbyshire, on 9th May, 2000, and registered ‘W687 PTV’, the Sonic Blue beauty cost the considerable sum of £30,915 from the showroom floor (not including the £400 charged for delivery and £180 for twelve months’ tax). Since then, it has been well and truly cosseted by its owner, who has consistently returned to Farmers Garage to keep the car maintained and in the best of health.
Having only seen occasional use, the Impreza has survived very much as it left the factory, and retains a whole host of original features which have been lost from so many of its sister cars. Among the original equipment still present with ‘P14 BEW’ (the personalised number was issued in 2002) are a stereo radio-cassette player with the optional under-seat CD player, fog light covers, Prodrive floor mats and boot mat, both spare keys with original fobs, an immobiliser with security PIN, the plunger pack for removing the radio, the jack and jack bag, a coat hanger, and optional extra-cost P1-embossed exhaust tips. We need hardly mention that the interior is original and as-finished by the factory.
The Subaru owes its excellent condition in part to the fact that it has been garaged all its life and only ever run on super unleaded fuel. The vendor has never failed to keep on top of servicing, as evidenced by what is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding service records we have ever seen. Impressively, it was serviced twice during 2000, four times during 2001, thrice in 2002 and 2003, twice annually from 2004 to 2009, and annually from 2010 onwards. These included Waxoyling in 2003 and 2007 and a timing-belt change in 2009, but what is most remarkable is the fact that every single one of the forty services was performed at Farmers Garage. The car had the bulk of its use up to 2011, when it reached 60,000 miles. Covering only a few hundred miles a year since then has brought the total mileage to just a shade over 68,000.
By this stage, it should not come as any surprise when we mention that the Subaru has an especially comprehensive history file, including the V5C showing no former keepers, the original book pack, the original sales invoices from Farmers Garage, every single MOT from its very first test in 2003, and an invoice from every service. The current MOT is valid until April, 2026, and the vendor, who was in his sixties when he purchased the car, is only selling it as he now prefers something a little more sedate. This is truly one of those cars which, if you could not inspect it with your own eyes, would defy credulity. The Impreza P1 was one of the greatest performance cars of its era – arguably the greatest sports saloon –and this has got to be one of the most original and best-preserved survivors.

At the start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat grand-touring R129 SL, the launch of the Mazda MX-5 encouraged Mercedes-Benz to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consisted of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism which locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.

The Mark III Cortina was the last European car engineered by Harley Copp as Vice President Engineering and head of Brentwood before his return to Detroit. Inspired by the “coke bottle” design emanating from Detroit, it replaced the Mark II Cortina and the Ford Corsair. Crayford Engineering based in Westerham, Kent, established in 1962, was a coachbuilder specialising in convertible conversions to European automobiles. Founded by David McMullan (sales manager) and Jeff Smith (R & D), co-workers at Lambretta-Trojan in Croydon, they moonlighted in a garage at Throwley House. A number of their designs were based on Ford products, including examples of the Cortina Mk I, Cortina Mk II, Cortina Cabriolet Mk2, Cortina Mk III, Corsair Convertible, Corsair Cabriolet and Capri Cabriolet.
Understood to be one of just six examples left registered in the UK, this Crayford based on a Mk III Cortina displays 45,000 miles on it’s odometer and was featured in a January 1973 Motor magazine review written by Tony Dron. Finished in the classic combination of white with black roof and interior, it is powered by the 2-litre Pinto engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission.

The Ford Puma programme started in 1993 with a new 2+2 coupe design based on the Mk4 Fiesta chassis. The ‘Lynx’ concept car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996, with the production version launch following a year later. Featuring a front-engine, front-wheel-drive, and three-door coupe body with four seats, they came with 15-inch alloy wheels as standard. Braking was by front disc and rear drums. With a new engine range (co-developed with Yamaha), stiffer suspension, wider track and a close-ratio gearbox, the Thunder models were among the final 2000 examples produced.
In current family ownership since 2002, this example is one of just 1,000 manufactured in Moondust Silver (only available on the Thunder variant) complemented by the standard Midnight Black leather interior of the Thunder special editions. Acquired as an ex-demonstrator in September 2002, with an odometer reading just 4,730 miles upon purchase, the car was driven until 2010 before being dry stored following the owner’s passing. Subsequently passing into the husband’s ownership, which explains the two former keepers on the V5c, it is believed to be 1 of 537 currently registered with the DVLA. Now displaying a mere c.29,500 miles from new, it is offered with its owner’s wallet, handbook and service book.

Built for just 13 months in 1967-1968, the TR5 arguably featured the best combination of looks, suspension and engine of all the Michelotti-penned Triumph Roadsters. Optional extras included overdrive, wire wheels and a Surrey Top with detachable roof panel. Visually identical to the TR4, the TR5 hid its key differences under the skin, the most significant of which was the engine - the first British production sports car unit to feature petrol injection. The 2498cc Lucas-fed straight-six developed a healthy 150bhp, allowing Motor magazine to record 8.3 seconds for the 0-60mph dash and a 117 mph top speed. Only 1,161 were built for the home market, against almost 8,500 carburettor-fuelled TR250s created for the American one. Amongst aficionados it is considered the most collectible of the series.
This garage find has been in current ownership since 1989 with just 4 former keepers and registers a credible c.66,000 miles. Stored since 2004, following an unfinished restoration undertaken by Foundry Classics, it had been a daily driver up to then and was a yearly attendee at the Malvern Show.

Launched on 15th March, 1961, at the Parc des Eaux Vives during the Geneva Motor Show, the new Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. Having been driven there flat-out by ex-racer and Jaguar PR man Bob Berry, he arrived in ‘9600 HP’ with 20 minutes to spare, much to the consternation of Sir William Lyons. Test drives proved so popular that the services of Norman Dewis were called upon to rush over from the factory with an additional roadster to ease the load. He completed the journey in just 11 hours, averaging some 68 mph. Thus, with its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. The launch was a total success and the canny Sir William had even managed to have the event paid for by the Society Of Motor Manufacturers & Traders! Some 500 orders were taken –double the number Jaguar thought total production might amount to in just one week.
Early sports car racing successes in the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori, plus the Briggs Cunningham-Roy Salvadori drive to fourth overall in the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hours, helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front subframe to cradle the engine, the model’s combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar at the front and a coil-sprung rear) rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a “straight port” DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3,781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lb ft of torque. Allied with a four-speed Moss gearbox (with synchromesh on second, third and fourth), it reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and on to 150mph. Achingly beautiful yet capable of being viciously quick on the open road or docile around town, the E-type remains for many the greatest ever production Jaguar.
For connoisseurs of the E-type, a 3.8-litre “flat-floor” Roadster is one of the most desirable variations one can own, representing the model in its earliest and perhaps purest form. There is certainly no disputing the desirability of this delightful example, which is only the 164th right-hand drive Roadster ever built, a fact indicated by its chassis number 850164 – Roadster numbering started at 850001. It is also original to a reassuring degree, retaining its matching chassis, engine and cylinder head numbers. It is complete with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate which provides confirmation of its authenticity, and reveals that it was originally finished in Black with a Black leather interior and sold viâ Henlys of London.
Sadly, little else is known about its early life, but by December, 2018, it had just four recorded keepers, the last of whom had owned it since February, 1985. The then-owner concluded his time with the car by treating it to an extensive overhaul which took place between 2014 and 2018. The work was predominantly completed by Xtreme Jaguar Restorations in Woodchurch, Kent, and included an engine rebuild and overhauls of the carburettors, front suspension and steering. A new bonnet frame was fitted and the car was entirely repainted in a colour we believe to be Opalescent Silver Blue, a hue correct for the age of the car and undoubtedly one of the loveliest colours offered for the E-type, available from 1961 to 1968. When the Jaguar was sold upon completion of the overhaul, it was noted: “Electronic ignition is the only deviation from factory specification.” We are, however, advised that a later, all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox has been fitted at some stage to enhance the car’s usability.
Since 2018, the Jaguar has been kept on static display by the owner, hence some light recommissioning will be in order before it can be returned to the road. A cursory inspection of the car will show that the ten-year-old renovation has held up very well, with the paint, interior and engine bay all appearing in lovely order. The interior especially is a lovely feature, with upholstery which appears to be original and well-preserved, and a period-correct Motorola radio.

Makers of Mercury outboard motors and MerCruiser sterndrive engines, the Brunswick Corporation became the world’s largest pleasure boat manufacturer in 1986 when it acquired first Sea Ray and then Bayliner. Conscious that the former denoted exclusivity and the latter accessibility, Brunswick decided to create a middle ground marque. Christened Maxum, the newcomer fielded models ranging from 18 – 46 feet in length. Initially derived from Bayliner’s tried and tested designs, Maxum’s boats were better equipped and trimmed. Attracting sufficient orders to justify the addition of a second production facility, the marque fell victim to the 2008 global financial crisis with Brunswick pulling the plug the following year.
Dating from 1994, this 2300 SCR boasts a length and beam of 23ft and 8ft 6in respectively. Fibreglass hulled, it is powered by a 5-litre MerCruiser V8 engine which is understood to have covered some 430 hours. Repainted in Nardo Grey over Black / Blue and retrimmed in Grey / Black leather since joining the Cambrian Collection, the Maxum is rated to carry six passengers and their luggage with onboard berths. Offered for sale at a fraction of its original sticker price, this handsome American sports cruiser comes complete with a four-wheeled trailer.

Twenty-five years after its triumphant introduction, the Range Rover ‘Classic’ gave way to the second generation P38A. By then the Rover’s original workman-like persona had been completely transformed - long gone were the hose-down rubber flooring and basic trim, which had been replaced by increasingly deep pile carpets, leather upholstery and wood finishings. The newcomer brought a strengthened chassis and less boxy exterior, while power was provided by 4.0-litre and 4.6-litre versions of Rover’s all-alloy V8 with suspension by an improved version of the company’s air system. This desirable Vogue specification example, finished in black with black leather, is powered by the 4.6-litre unleaded V8 engine mated to automatic transmission. It displays a modest c.90,000 miles from new. In current ownership since 2017, following its purchase from Legacy Motors of Berkhamsted at 68,000 miles, it has benefited from much expenditure since including; reconditioned engine from RPI, reconditioned front differential and transfer box, new cooling system hoses, viscous fan unit and radiator, new alternator, new stainless steel half exhaust system (centre silencer and rear section), new Bilstein dampers all round, new polybushes, new air springs and compressor, new height sensors, new heated windscreen, new front brake calipers, new upper and lower front ball joints and a full service and MOT (April 2025).

The range-topping Gordini version of Renault’s Twingo proved that hot hatches don’t have to be big to be great fun. It also had the best options list of the range, with cruise control, climate control, heated mirrors, leather seats, 17” wheels over the standard 16” items, rear spoiler and metallic paint. With strong and reliable engines and gearboxes, Renault sold around 250 Twingo RS models a year from its 2008 launch until production ended in 2013. Available with either a 1.2-litre or 1.6-litre engine, performance was respectable with 0-60 mph possible in around 9.7 or 8.7 seconds respectively and a top speed of 117 mph / 125 mph.
Finished in Malta Blue with half leather interior, this example has covered a warranted c.67,000 miles from new and features arguably the more desirable 1.2-litre engine, developing some 100 bhp, allied to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It was previously subject of a Category N insurance loss in 2024 but was subsequently repaired and a new MOT should have been obtained by the time of sale. Offered with a current Swansea V5c document this pocket rocket Twingo Gordini is ready to entertain.

Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the 20hp. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20hp. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and higher top speed – up to 75mph, depending on the bodywork. The four-speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer’s traditional right-hand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. In 1936, the company increased performance once more, enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1,201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938.
Supplied new to a E.J. Overton and understood to have been registered new by Birmingham city council as ‘EOB 874’. This 25/30 pleasingly retains its original 4 door six light limousine Park Ward coachwork to body no.4388 and is understood to be fitted with its original engine, no.D23F. Residing in current ownership for 30 years where it has been fastidiously maintained, this 25/30 Limousine wears Park Ward coachwork and is finished to a high standard in a striking red over cream combination.

Bath’s Sidney Horstmann was an incorrigible innovator who almost literally reinvented the wheel. After filing various patents, he unveiled his own light car in 1913, with a 995cc OHV engine of his own design, and a three-speed gearbox. Building such advanced machines from scratch ultimately proved too expensive, so after the war his firm bought in Coventry-Simplex proprietary engines. Also, the name was changed to Horstman, as a precaution against anti-German sentiments of the time.
After building a racer for Douglas Hawkes to contest the 1921 Coupe des Voiturettes in France, Sidney Horstmann developed a four-car team for the JCC 200-Mile Race in October. Hawkes’s Anzani-engined car was joined by three Coventry-Simplex powered machines. Only Hawkes ran the full race, but he placed fifth behind three Talbot-Darracqs and a Bugatti, allowing Horstman to declare their product “The fastest British light car.” The rakish, racing-inspired Super Sports was introduced for 1922, with a 1498cc, 11.9hp Anzani or a 1341cc, 10.5hp Coventry-Simplex motor. It cost £500 but was one of the best-looking sports cars of its day.
This 10.5hp Horstman Super Sports carries an August, 1921, Devon registration, but ownership records begin on 12th February, 1925, when it belonged to a Mr Harries of Rose Hall in Exning, Suffolk. In 1928, it passed to John Hill of Wootton Bassett, who kept it until 1964. The new owner was Geoffrey Plaister, also of Wootton Bassett, who cared for it until his death in 2017. Emerging from storage, it was recently loaned to the Great British Car Journey museum and partially recommissioned, albeit with a remote fuel tank due to the permanent tank requiring cleaning. It has run but further work is required to make it roadworthy. It is to be sold with the current V5C and the buff logbook, historic photographs, 1925-28 tax discs, the original owner’s handbook, plus assorted general articles pertaining to Horstman.

Faithfully renovated to a period specification, with a complement of military accessories and appropriate U.S. Army markings up to and including lucky mascot “Jane,” this superb GPW was first registered in Britain in 1985, having been discovered in an abandoned state in Italy. Thousands of Allied Jeeps were used in the Italian Campaign of 1943 to 1945, which liberated the Roman soil from the German occupation which had taken effect after the fall of Mussolini. After the war, many leftover Jeeps were repurposed for use by the Italian Army and Carabinieri. Once in Britain, the owner of ‘876 UXO’ set about bringing it back to life with a keen eye for detail and authenticity. This work included overhauling its original six-volt electrical system and sourcing various items of original equipment and accessories, including the side screens, a spare hood, ammunition boxes and helmets, as may be seen in the photographs.
The present owner acquired ‘876 UXO’ in 2009, and completed an extensive programme of improvements during 2010 which totalled £2,300 and encompassed both mechanical and cosmetic work. Since then it has been maintained and kept in regular use, becoming a popular exhibit at military vehicle shows and 1940s weekends, and most notably making a number of cross-Channel trips for the famous Normandy D-Day Festival.
Despite its former abandonment, ‘876 UXO’ survives in an impressively original state and, with some 40 years having passed since it was put back on the road, it now exhibits a pleasing, mellow patina. From behind the wheel and underneath the bonnet, it appears resoundingly ‘correct’ in all areas, so much so that it was reputedly used in the cult film Band of Brothers. We were pleased to see that it started readily and ran well for our photoshoot, and it is to be supplied with the current V5C, assorted MOT certificates and a very large collection of invoices.

This rare home-market 1970 E-Type Series II Coupé – it is one of just 1,071 Coupés made in RHD – represents a splendid opportunity to acquire one of the prettiest and most sought-after of the Series II range. ‘OGS 844H’ was manufactured on 17th March, 1970, and despatched on 24th, to retail through Henlys Manchester. It has been enthusiast-owned for many years, with invoices indicating that it underwent some refurbishment in 1995, but upon entering the present ownership in 2021 it was subjected to an extensive mechanical restoration which commenced in 2021 and was completed in December, 2022.
One of the main tasks of the restoration was the thorough overhaul of the engine, during which it received new pistons, uprated con-rods, a reground camshaft and a modified oil seal. The cylinder head was renovated and the carburettors were overhauled and tuned. In addition, many of the engine ancillaries were refurbished or replaced, including the water pump, the flywheel, and the timing chain and tensioner. An new starter motor was installed, along with an uprated high-capacity aluminium radiator. Many other items across the car were similarly refurbished, including the clutch master cylinder, the brake master cylinder and servo, all the brake callipers, the steering rack, the prop-shaft, the rear subframe, plus all the gauges and switches.
The Jaguar has covered only 2,000 miles since its restoration, and the present mileage reading now stands at around 55,500 miles. It has recently had a full service and is praised by the vendor for its “excellent oil pressure and running temperature.” We are able to report that it started readily and ran well during its photoshoot, and altogether gives the impression of a very fine grand-touring machine. Indeed, that is clearly the view of the vendor, since he had prepared the car with the intention of doing a 500-mile tour of Scotland’s dramatic coastline. In the vendor’s opinion, the engine, transmission and electrics are all “excellent,” the bodywork and interior trim are “very good” and the paintwork is “good.” The interior has, at some point in the past, been upgraded with a more modern radio-cassette player.
A very substantial paperwork file testifies to the care and attention the E-type has received in recent years, beginning with the invoices from the first refurbishment in 1995. There is a large collection of MOT certificates which also date back to 1995, plus a further raft of invoices from the 2022 mechanical restoration – the vendor advises that all invoices were retained. On the subject of MOTs, although this car is, of course, exempt from testing, we are informed that it will be offered with a fresh MOT at the point of sale. Additionally, the Jaguar includes a heritage certificate from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.
This E-type really is most appealing on three counts – its rarity, presentation and usability. The colour scheme of Primrose Yellow with a Black leather interior looks ever so pretty, and with the paint, interior and brightwork as they are, the Jaguar would not look out of place on any rally field. As for the usability, the extent of the recent mechanical renovation leaves that in little doubt. Altogether, it promises to be a very rewarding machine for the owner-driver enthusiast, no matter whether one intends to use it for Continental grand tours or just for more leisurely outings to local shows and gatherings.

Based on a design exercise by Pelle Peterson the Volvo P1800 sports car was unveiled at the 1960 Brussels Salon. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine (complete with five-bearing crankshaft and twin carburettors) allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, it was capable of over 100mph. Never a major contender in the racing world, a P1800 did, however, finish second in class at the 1967 Daytona 24-hour race. Volvo extended the life of the P1800 by adopting the inhouse designer Jan Wilsgaard’s extended-roof vision design. Introduced in August 1971, the 1800 ES was arguably one of the world’s first ‘lifestyle’ estate cars (a genre now typified by the BMW 3-Series Touring). Boasting notably greater luggage space thanks to its extended roof line and sharply raked frameless glass tailgate, the model came with a more powerful Bosch fuel-injected 1986cc OHV four-cylinder powerplant as standard. Further benefiting from four-wheel disc brakes and the choice of either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, it remained in production until 1973 (by which time some 8,078 are thought to have been made).
Dating from 1972, this manual transmission 1800 ES has the overdrive on 4th gear producing approximately 22 mph per 1000 rpm. This enables a comfortable cruising speed in today’s traffic coupled with the reliability and safety of the Volvo of that age. A fine classic car that is easy to maintain and enjoys a good aftermarket parts supply. The 123GT model continues to excel in historic rallies due to the renowned Volvo robust reliability and safety.
A rare and highly original RHD Springfield Ghost
Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*
Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 81JH
Springfield Ghosts are very seldom encountered outside of America, and ‘81JH’ is a wonderful example with its fashionably-styled Pickwick Limousine coachwork by Willoughby & Co. At a time when saloons and limousines were typically built with rather stiff, upright bodies, the Pickwick’s raked three-piece windscreen – essentially an early wraparound design – looked strikingly modern.
This particular car first appears in records in September, 1923, and was completed for a wealthy American named Chester Williams, being one of only around 1,100 Springfield Ghosts built to right-hand drive specification. Sadly, no further history of ‘81JH’ is known from its time in the States, but it appears to have had a fairly easy life and has survived in a very unmolested, original state. In 1990, it was purchased from Rolls-Royce Classics in Los Angeles and imported by the vendor’s late father. Once on British soil, it joined their significant private collection of predominantly Rolls-Royce and Bentley products and, while we are advised it saw some light use during the first years of their ownership, it has never been registered with the DVLA.
The 35 years of storage has aided the Ghost’s preservation, and we are pleased to see that it presents very much as it did when it was imported, with the interior especially standing out for its seemingly original condition. It will, of course, require recommissioning and registration before it can be enjoyed the road, but we would hope the work to be straightforward. The engine can be turned over by hand, though we are advised that the carburettor, cooling system, exhaust, brakes, steering and suspension will require attention. Nevertheless, it will be worthwhile work to resurrect this rare and well-preserved gem which has never before been seen at British events, and therefore will certainly go down a treat at any vintage rally, RREC meeting or concours d’élégance. It is offered with the import documents and a 2023 condition report.

The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much-modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company’s AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly on to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.

After the success of America’s WW2 Jeep, the British Army was eager to obtain a multipurpose light truck. Despite competition from the Nuffield Organisation, Austin was awarded the contract to build 15,000 vehicles from a former aircraft factory at Cofton Hackett. Produced from 1951 to 1957, the Champ was unlike anything Austin had attempted previously. A four-wheel-drive quarter-ton truck, it utilised the straight-four, 2838cc Rolls-Royce B40 engine. The Rolls-Royce B-series engines were developed specially for use in British Army vehicles and, in their various guises, also powered the Daimler Ferret, Humber Pig and six-wheeled Alvis. Although a civilian version of the Champ was offered with an Austin A90 engine, the vast majority were built for military use.
Although wearing a number plate issued the previous decade, this Champ was first registered for road use with the DVLA during 1982. Presumed to have been de-mobbed the same year, the Austin entered the current ownership in 1991 and was seemingly taken off the road not long afterwards (its last tax disc expired 01/01/1993). Fitted with replacement front and rear seats at some stage and sporting a correct type canvas tilt plus a dash-mounted fire extinguisher and rear-mounted fuel can, the 4x4 is now in need of recommissioning / restoration.

Between the wars Riley crafted some of the finest small sporting cars, spanning saloons, tourers, and dedicated sports models. The marque really took off thanks to the 1926 Motor Show exhibited Riley Nine, the main feature of which was the engine, with its twin camshafts mounted high up in the cylinder block, driving inclined valves via short pushrods and rockers, and fitted with hemispherical cylinder heads - a layout which responded well to further tuning. Indeed, the Thompson and Taylor team Brooklands-Nine became one of the biggest winners in British motor racing pre-war.
Understood to have been first registered in Warrington in January 1936, ED 9689 was originally a Merlin saloon but by the early 1960s had been rebodied with MG Tourer-style coachwork.

Subtle updates resulted in the Mk. IVB arriving for the 1955 model year, showing the more pronounced influence of America. Two-tone colour schemes were now optional, divided by the new chrome strip running under the windows, and the rear number plate gained an attractive plinth. The wood-veneer dashboard and door cappings were new features, and individual seats and automatic transmissions became optional.
Originally hailing from Australia, we understand our car is one of only 720 Mk. IVBs built in complete knock-down form for export.

Simple, Spartan and beautiful in its own way, this late Series I possesses all the characteristics that make early Land-Rovers so desirable. It was originally built for military service, it is believed with the R.A.F., but was demobilised in 1963 and issued with its present London registration. The previous owner purchased it in 1993 as a dismantled project and set about putting it back on the road over a period of several years. Having enjoyed for a number of years thereafter, he sold it to his friend, the present vendor, in 2009.
The Land-Rover retains its original engine and gearbox and has benefitted from much further work in the vendor’s ownership, including an engine overhaul, new rear springs and shock absorbers, new starting equipment including an ignition switch and an electronic ignition conversion, a new fuel tank, and fitment of an electric fuel pump. The result is a machine which is not merely useable but highly capable, and has done much off-roading with the Land-Rover Series One Club. It has been mildly modified with desirable upgrades including an uprated back axle, Fairey overdrive and freewheeling hubs, but is supplied with parts to return it to a more original specification, including the half-doors.

One of the famous “Three As” of Scotland’s early motor industry, along with Albion and Argyll, Arrol-Johnston was there right at the very beginning. George Johnston and Sir William Arrol established the Mo-Car Syndicate Ltd. in Bluevale, Glasgow, in 1897. Sir William was already a renowned civil engineer and bridge-builder. While Arrol-Johnston survived until 1931 (after merging with Aster in 1927), it remains best-known for its earliest products, the distinctive high-wheeled Dogcarts which were produced until as late as 1906. These were horseless carriages in the most literal sense, with solid-tyred carriage wheels and varnished four- or six-seater bodies, and, though their design was somewhat antiquated, they found plenty of willing buyers, especially in Scotland.
The Dogcart name was carried over from the carriage-building industry, where it described a two-wheeled carriage with a back-to-back seating arrangement and a compartment under the seat for gundogs. The early models appeared in 1899 with tiller steering and a rear-mounted, horizontal, underfloor engine of 5½hp, which although a single-cylinder contained two opposed pistons. From the pistons, short rods rocked levers which in turn moved longer con-rods which rotated the crank. Before long, wheel steering and a twin-cylinder (four-piston) engine were employed, giving 10hp, and from 1901 it became a 12hp, with 108 by 165mm bore and stroke. The engine was connected to a four-speed gearbox viâ a cone clutch and Renold chain primary-drive, which in turn drove the huge rear axle by a central chain. Further equipment included a low-tension magneto and a pull-start mechanism by way of a cord connected to a crank handle. The cord ran through the floorboards to be within easy reach of the driver. These elephantine beasts of burden were rugged, torquey and low-geared, making them ideal for traversing highland gradients. Steady performers, in top gear they were said to reach 25mph. However, just eight are reckoned to survive.
Carrying the delightful early Paisley registration ‘XS 2’ – indicating that it was the second car to be registered in Paisley – this marvellously original 1902 Dogcart is thought to have been owned originally by Sir Thomas Coats, of the family behind Paisley’s Ferguslie Thread Works. Little early history is known, but it appears the Arrol-Johnston was transferred to the Isle of Bute, placed into storage in 1919, and then discovered on the island in 1942 by Tom Lightfoot, one of the 20th century’s most prominent veteran car enthusiasts, while he was serving with the Royal Navy. It is understood that he purchased it from the Bute Ship Dock Co., and presumably kept it at his home in Epsom, Surrey. Other documents
point to the ownership of Norman Cole circa 1962 and Norman Ball circa 1970, prior to its acquisition in 1998 by the late Geoffrey Plaisters. It is known to have entered one London to Brighton Run in the late 1990s, plus the 2002 Glasgow-Paisley-Dumfries Arrol-Johnston Commemoration Run. Although the Arrol-Johnston has been out of use for some time following Mr. Plaister’s death, it was recently placed on loan to the Great British Car Journey museum, which oversaw its partial recommissioning. While it has been running, it will require further attention before it is roadworthy, but what a fantastic opportunity it presents to revive and preserve such a rare and unusual veteran. It is to be sold with various technical papers, a copy of the 1902 Arrol-Johnston sales catalogue, historic photographs, and correspondence and paperwork from previous ownerships. Of the surviving Dogcarts, two are regular and reliable Brighton Runners, and another two are preserved in British museums. When this one returns to the Brighton (as it surely must), it is guaranteed to be one of the stars.
Coachwork to Design 7122 by H. J. Mulliner

Of all the coachbuilders commissioned to style the Mk. VI, the two most popular were H. J. Mulliner and Park Ward. The former produced a range of designs, of which the Design 7122 semi-razoredge saloon proved particularly well-received; a structurally-improved version of the earlier Design 7059/C, around 160 of both designs were built and chassis B78HR was among them. Delivered in November, 1950, it received body number 5184 and was originally finished in Black Pearl over Vauxhall Grey, with Dark Blue hide upholstery. It retailed through J. Olding Ltd. and was purchased by George Noel Hunter of the Sun Engraving Co., London WC2. One of the world’s largest printing firms, Sun worked with many major publishing houses and notably produced the Tactical Targets map books, which directed British troops during the 1944 invasion of Normandy.
Pleasingly retaining its original registration ‘LLP 188’, B78HR is now resplendent in Navy over Smoke Blue. It was upgraded with overdrive in the 1960s and is understood to have had just nine owners from new. Resident for a time in California, it spent a short period in Germany where the engine was comprehensively overhauled in 1992. It returned to Britain in 1996, and spent the period from 1998 to 2023 in the care of one particularly attentive enthusiast. The Bentley has received £113,468 of expenditure between 1989 and the present and was the winner of its class at the 2009 Bentley Drivers’ Club Concours.
In the hands of the current owner, a Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club member for 38 years, it has benefitted from further work including a service, replacement of the oil filter and seal, and fitment of the correct type of rear number plate. It is offered with a huge history file including copies of the chassis records, ownership history, a buff logbook, some historic photographs, American and German documents, MOTs and invoices back to 1989 and a detailed maintenance and mileage log beginning in 1998. It boasts an MOT with no advisories valid until July, 2026, and will be driven to the sale from Sheffield.

Introduced in 1963, the Alvis TE21 was visually distinguished from its predecessor by ‘over and under’ quad headlights and a revised interior. Based around a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a well-located ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer boasted a revised, more user-friendly steering box (and the option of power steering from 1964 onwards). Reworked with a ‘bigger valve’ cylinder head and more efficient exhaust manifold, the refined four-seater’s 2993cc OHV straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 130bhp and 172lbft of torque. Available with a choice of either ZF five-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 110mph. Trimmed in Connolly leather, the Alvis’ cosseting interior featured a central armrest for the back seat and more accessible ashtrays. Available to special order until 1967, just 352 TE21s were made of which 178 were fixed-heads fitted with five-speed manual transmission.
Finished attractively in dark blue over a cream leather interior, this TE21 was purchased by the current owner over 10 years ago and has been enjoyed regularly on trips through France. Benefiting from a desirable uprated ZF 5-speed manual gearbox, uprated Coopercraft Brakes, factory fitted power-assisted steering and halogen headlights, the car was subject to a comprehensive cosmetic refresh by the previous owner. Offered with a substantial history file including various maintenance receipts, current Swansea V5C document, spare original headlamps and a small quantity of spares, this tasteful Alvis is MOT exempt.

Every inch the high-class vintage touring car, this Vauxhall seems to have led a fascinating early life. The supplier’s plaque carries the name of Harrods (Buenos Aires) Ltd. of Florida, Buenos Aires, but its documented history only begins in January, 1985, when it belonged to the Clarendon Carriage Co. of 2-4 Queen’s Gate Mews, Kensington, carrying the registration ‘5 KYY’. Its first known private owner from April, 1985, was Mr. Brian Middleton of Croydon, who in turn sold it to the well-known enthusiast and auctioneer Mr. Stewart Skilbeck of Selby.
The car was perhaps most active during Mr. Skilbeck’s tenure, participating in numerous events including the Irish Gordon Bennett Rally, the Beamish Reliability Trial and multiple VSCC rallies, notably the 1999 Bowland Rally of which Skilbeck and Vauxhall were the outright winners. He lavished attention on the car, with a considerable collection of invoices dating from his ownership, with the order of new valves suggesting a top-end rebuild. After being reregistered ‘SV 6997’ in 1998, the D-type changed hands in 2000, when it received some repairs to the driver’s seat squab from Protectus, followed by minor body and paint repairs to the wings in 2001.
Still presenting beautifully, the Vauxhall entered the present ownership in 2009 but it has been largely unused since 2013 and will thus require some recommissioning. However, the engine has been overhauled in that time, as suggested by a 2023 invoice from Formhalls for work to remedy an oil-pressure fault. The vast collection of technical papers ensures that any future work is as straightforward as it can be, the file even including a facsimile of the original Vauxhall Instruction Book 23-60 HP and 30-98 HP Models, plus the 30-98 Contemporary Owner’s Manual for the OE-type by John Stanford. That is in addition to magazine articles, V5s and tax discs dating back to 1985, invoices and MOTs back to 1992, a 1993 VSCC eligibility form, an introductory book from the Vauxhall A-D Type Register and papers pertaining to assorted rallies from the 1990s.

The phenomenal success of the XK120 was unexpected by Sir William Lyons and Jaguar, whose focus had been the MKVII Saloon. However, within days of the Bronze show car being displayed at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, it was evident a complete rethink was required. For many the best looking XK120 variant, the Fixed Head Coupe debuted in July 1951. A true design classic primarily aimed at the American market, some 2,485 of the 2,680 examples produced were to left-hand drive specification.
One such car, chassis 680432, was delivered to North America but converted to right-hand drive upon its return to the UK and uprated for use on historic rallies and tours. Powered by a larger, more potent 4.2-litre XK engine (replacing the factory 3.4-litre unit) mated to a later all-synchromesh four-speed manual gearbox, the steering, brakes and suspension have all been enhanced too. Sourced from a younger XK150 model, the rack and pinion set-up is notably more precise than the original steering box, while four-wheel disc brakes provide superior stopping power. A stiffer anti-roll bar and Koni shock absorbers have similarly sharpened the handling. Sporting a Le Mans-style fuel filler cap, louvered bonnet, leather bonnet straps and twin driving lamps to the exterior and a fire extinguisher, Tilton pedal box, Willans harnesses and bucket seats to the interior, the Jaguar is cooled by an aluminium radiator and is fitted with Rob Beere performance camshafts. The straight-six engine has been further improved with a gas flowed cylinder head and new valves and valve springs. The twin 2-inch SU carburettors have been overhauled and a higher capacity water pump with larger impeller added plus a new high pressure oil pump. Understood to have covered a little over 15,000 miles since being restored, this impressive XK is offered with an original owner’s handbook, collection of invoices and current Swansea V5C.

Introduced in 1959, the Sunbeam Alpine was built around a steel monocoque, featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and disc/drum brakes. Unveiled in 1965, the final MKV variant was equipped with the Rootes Group’s latest four-cylinder 1725cc engine rated at 92.5bhp - notably more powerful and refined than its predecessors. Benefiting from negative earth electrics and an alternator, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 100mph. Only produced for three years, the Alpine MKV was quietly dropped from the Sunbeam range in 1968.
Originally exported to California before being repatriated to the UK in 1991, where it was converted to right hand drive as part of a total restoration, TRX 76D was acquired by the vendor in 2003 and has been subject to a complete engine refresh in current ownership. Repainted in 2004 to a tasteful British Racing Green over a black leather interior, it was voted Best Sports Car and Best Sunbeam Alpine at the Scottish Rootes Show in 2006 and 2008 respectively and comes with an extensive history file including invoices for previous work done and a current Swansea V5C.

Introduced in June, 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sports car to rival the likes of the Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came with electric windows, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and servo-backed front disc and rear drum brakes as standard. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lb ft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2,997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and soft-top roofs.
Restored in the 1990s, this Stag is finished in the original colour of Sapphire Blue over a black leather interior and was previously treated to a thorough engine refresh including skimming of the heads at a cost of over £1,400. It benefits from a desirable 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive along with an uprated stainless-steel exhaust, uprated oil and water pumps, a new fuel tank and recent soft top (fitted in 2022). This classic Stag comes with MOT certificates dating back to 2004 as part of a significant history file and a Haynes manual.

Introduced in 1956, the A35 replaced the highly successful Austin A30. The name reflected the larger and more powerful 34hp (25 kW) A-Series inline-four engine, enabling a slightly higher top speed and better acceleration. The A35 is very similar in appearance to the A30, except for a larger rear window aperture and a painted front grille, with chrome horse-shoe surround, instead of the chrome grille on the A30. The A35’s ratios are better spaced and give a higher speed in third gear. Like the A30, the A35 was offered as a two- or four-door saloon and two-door “Countryman” estate and also as a van. Successful in tin top racing in period and capable of upstaging much larger competition on the track, it is not surprising the model is still sort after by those minded to race the diminutive little Austin.
This four-door A35 saloon has been dry stored since the early 2000s and is offered for restoration along with many parts including hard to find interior trim items. An exciting opportunity to acquire a blank canvas garage-find car, it is offered without paperwork.

Brainchild of an ex-Lotus engineer, the Contour was designed to compete in the 750 Motor Club’s RGB series (later rechristened the RGB Sports 1000). Tipping the scales at less than 500kgs, competing designs featured multi-tubular space frame chassis, F1-inspired pull rod suspension, potent RGB (Road Going Bike) engines, sequential transmissions and fibreglass / carbon fibre bodies. Looking like shrunken down Le Mans contenders and with power to weight ratios approaching 400bhp per tonne, RGB / Sports 1000 cars were typically as fast around a circuit as Works BTCC entries! The Sports 1000 Championship remains active today and provides plenty of high octane thrills for an estimated cost of £12,000 per season. Boasting rather more downforce than permitted under Sports 1000 regulations, this particular Contour was last campaigned as a Formula Libre Sprint / Hillclimb car. Although valid until 2019, its accompanying UK Motorsport logbook will need updating to reflect the striking John Player Special-style livery it has adopted since joining the Cambrian Collection. A formidable track day weapon ‘as is’, the Contour comes with a variety of set-up data should a new owner wish to take it racing once more. Running and driving, the Kawasaki powered machine will nevertheless benefit from a thorough check over / recommissioning.

Still uncannily smooth, the famous V12 was allied to an improved GM 4L80E four-speed automatic gearbox. With a quoted 313.5bhp/342lbft on tap, the 6-litre four-door saloon could whisk occupants from 0-60mph in 6.8 seconds and onto 155mph. Equipped with all-round independent suspension, ABS four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering, the XJ81 had a ride / handling balance that some road testers found superior to the contemporary Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series.

Shortly after acquiring Dodge in 1928 Chrysler ordered the four-cylinder models, on which Dodge had made its reputation, be dropped in favour of six-cylinder models. The DA debuted in 1929, as the DA Six. One of the greatest refinements pioneered on the DA’s was the use of rubber engine mounts. These stopped heavy vibrations from the six-cylinder engine and 3-speed gearbox being transmitted through the frame into the cabin of the car. Not only aiding the occupants’ comfort, they helped prevent anything from vibrating loose. DA’s were also fitted with hydraulically controlled drum brakes front and rear which was a first for an American-built car up to that time.
Believed to be an original and rare right hand drive example, as evidenced by the lack of modifications to the bulkhead, and powered by a 4.1-litre straight six engine, this DA Six has seen service as a wedding car for the past couple of decades. In running order up until a couple of years ago, it is now ripe for restoration. Finished in cream and brown with a brown interior it is supplied with photographs of wedding usage and a Swansea V5C.

So seldom are genuine Escort Cosworths encountered that it is a pleasure just to see a well-constructed evocation, and that is what we have here – an accurate tribute recently created using an Escort GTi for its base. Originally Black, this Escort was bought new in 1998 by a Mrs. Thomas of Liverpool, who kept it in continuous use until it was taken off the road in 2018, after which it was acquired by only its second owner (albeit registered in trade so still showing as a one-owner car) and underwent its transformation to its present Cosworth guise.
Work completed in 2018 included fitment of replacement brake discs, pads and rear lines, plus a new exhaust box. Further mechanical attention was performed in the midst of the Cosworth tribute conversion, including a service, cambelt change and water pump replacement, but the most obvious changes have been cosmetic. A complete RS Cosworth bodykit in combination with a repaint in Ford’s lovely, Cosworth-only Jewel Violet successfully evoke the image of the Blue Oval’s hottest hatchback. The car is offered with documents including the original V5 and the latest V5C, an owner’s handbook and service book with some service stamps, some old MOT certificates and a 2018 invoice.

With independent torsion-bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering and strong 80mph performance from its gutsy ‘twin-cam’ 1496cc, four-cylinder engine the RMA was deservedly praised by the contemporary motoring press for its excellent ride and handling qualities. Its successor, the RME, arrived in 1951 featuring a host of mechanical revisions.

In April 1985, the third generation of the Ford Granada arrived, which was essentially a re-badged Ford Scorpio, however the Granada named line was to continue solely for the United Kingdom and Ireland, with the Scorpio brand covering Continental Europe. The Scorpio badging was instead used as a trim designation for the top of the range models across the UK. Unlike the previous Granada incarnations, it was initially only available as a hatchback, and not as a saloon or estate. This proved to be a mistake for Ford, which later introduced a saloon version in December 1989.

The first MG sportscar to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension and rack and pinion steering, it also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, hidden scuttle reinforcement hoop (save for the first few cars) and twin leading-shoe front brakes. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel wheels as standard, the TD sported a mirror-image dashboard (facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers.

Finished in a beautiful golden brown, this 450 SL was originally sold through B. & K. Thomas Ltd. Mercedes-Benz of Nottingham to the landlord of the Cardinal Inn in Sutton-in-Ashfield. Service records suggest it received frequent but modest use up to 1991, when it had covered 69,580 miles. That same year, it was purchased by the registered keeper’s father (the sixth keeper) and has seen minimal use since, having now covered a total of only 74,500 miles. In fact, the Mercedes was placed in a garage in 2004 after 74,483 miles and not brought out until 2024, when it was subjected to recommissioning which was completed earlier this year. It was subsequently submitted for an MOT, which it passed and which remains valid until May, 2026.
The SL was evidently kept in a good environment during its hibernation, as the bodywork and interior appear in good standing for an unrestored 45-year-old machine. It has survived in a commendable state of originality, and we believe it presents entirely to factory specification save for the BBS wheels, which are a charming period addition.

Originally registered in Ayrshire as ‘PSD 708’, this Land Rover 88in Station Wagon with the desirable Safari roof has benefitted from many recent improvements by a skilled engineer. Reregistered with the present A-suffix plates in 1990, the Land Rover seems to have had only light use, having reached the present still with its original chassis and an indicated 58,000 miles on the odometer.
The vendor, a motor sport engineer, purchased it in 2023 to tinker with and improve, driving it from Aberdeen to his home in Derbyshire. Previously fitted with a 2½-litre diesel engine by Martin’s Landys, the vendor undertook a complete engine overhaul, installing new pistons and valves. He also reconditioned the radiator, overhauled the steering, serviced the brakes, gearbox and axles, renewed the headlining, and ironed out various small faults. The Land Rover has, at some point, also been upgraded with parabolic springs. It may be seen from the photographs just how nicely finished it is, especially inside where the upholstery appears in lovely condition. Offered with the current V5C, assorted invoices and some MOTs dating back to the early 2000s, this smart and highly useable classic could make a fine addition to a collection, but it would be just as happy working on a smallholding as originally intended.

An American icon for the past sixty-one years, the Ford Mustang has always embraced individuality. Available with a bewildering array of factory options over the years, it has long appealed to customisers and race teams too. Revamped for 1969, the Mustang emerged lower, longer and wider than before with convex rather than concave side panels and a more aggressive, quad headlamp visage. The Blue Oval’s decision to revert to twin headlamps for 1970, gives the ’69 cars an appealing rarity which has been cemented by cinematic appearances in Point Break and John Wick.
Built during the 1969 model year at Ford’s San Jose, California plant as a V8-powered, two-door Fastback, chassis 9R02F126594 has undergone quite the transformation since then. Looking like an escapee from a 1970s road movie – think Vanishing Point, Duel or Two Lane Blacktop –its Gloss White paintwork is contrasted by a Matt Black hood, trunk and ‘Boss 302’ side graphics, while the front and rear lights are set against Black too. Riding on oversize alloys courtesy of Detroit Vintage Wheels, the Ford’s increased rear ride height gives it a menacing tail-up / nose down stance. Augmented by an Edelbrock Torker II inlet manifold, Demon four-barrel carburettor, alternator, high capacity alloy radiator and oil cooler, the larger, replacement V8 engine (thought to be a 351 ci / 5.7 litre Windsor unit) is allied to automatic transmission. Not long returned from ‘Straight To The Point’ (STTP) Racing of Whatton where its drivetrain was fettled, the Mustang started readily and ran evenly during our recent photography session. Far from quiet, the Fastback’s exhaust note is in keeping with its aesthetics! The four-seater interior has been retrimmed in Black with matching carpets and boasts a deep dish steering wheel, modern Kenwood stereo and White instrument binnacle / glove box lid. Power steering and front disc brakes aid driveability. An impressive and imposing machine, ‘TOR 536G’ arrived on these shores nine years ago and has only ever been registered to one UK keeper.

The Land Rover 90 Defender Wolf, introduced in the late 1990s, was a purpose-built military vehicle developed for the British Armed Forces. The ‘Wolf’ designation refers to the militarised versions of the Defender, specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of active service. The 1998 Land Rover 90 Defender Wolf, was particularly valued for its agility, durability, and versatility across a range of demanding environments. Unlike civilian Defenders, the Wolf models were heavily modified. Fitted with a reinforced chassis and upgraded suspension, it was designed to cope with heavy loads and rough terrain. Power came from the dependable 300Tdi turbo-diesel engine, chosen for its mechanical simplicity and reliability under combat conditions. The Wolf also received specialised features such as 24-volt electrical systems to support military communications equipment, run-flat tyres, and optional weapon mounting systems. The 90 Defender Wolf was most often deployed for reconnaissance, troop transport, and general utility roles. Its compact size allowed it to manoeuvre through narrow tracks and urban environments while still providing excellent off-road capability. Many vehicles were equipped with soft tops or hardtops depending on operational requirements, and they could be fitted with roll cages for added protection.
Subject to a bare-metal respray and thorough cosmetic refresh by Nene Overland in 2022, this Defender was then treated to a full engine overhaul in 2024 by Jason Hollick Land Rover Specialists. Resprayed in classic Land Rover colour, Keswick Green with a new soft top roof fitted and Keswick green Land Rover Defender 90 alloy wheels, it has not been used much since the refresh was completed but still starts instantly and idles well. Offered with a good history file with receipts from all of the work carried out and a Swansea V5C along with a spare set of the original Land Rover Wolf Military specification wheels.

Named after the Italian resort of Cortina di Ampezzo, which had held the Winter Olympics some six years earlier, the Ford Consul Cortina was unveiled in September, 1962. Concealing a lightened version of the Consul Classic’s substructure beneath bespoke exterior panelling, the newcomer was equipped with MacPherson strut independent suspension, a leaf-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes (though front discs were later standardised). Intended to offer class-leading accommodation and economy, the Cortina was initially powered by an 1198cc OHV ‘Kent’ four-cylinder engine allied with four-speed manual transmission. Mk. I production ended in late autumn, 1966, after an impressive 1,010,090 cars had rolled off the assembly line.
This rather racy 1963 Consul Cortina has been turned from family saloon to super saloon courtesy of a few significant upgrades, chief among which is a highly-tuned 2.1-litre Pinto engine with a Burton Power high-performance cylinder head and a quad Keihin CVK carburettor set-up (as used on many performance motorcycles, including Kawasakis and Triumph Bonnevilles). To cope with the extra power, disc brakes have been fitted all-round. The Cortina now 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.

Supplanting the 500 SEC as flagship of the Mercedes-Benz C126 range, the 560 SEC was launched at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Credited with some 300bhp and 325lbft of torque in non-catalyst guise, the 560 SEC boasted four-speed automatic transmission as standard. Finished in the handsome combination of Nautical Blue Metallic with Grey leather upholstery, chassis WDB1260452A530032 was built to right-hand drive specification complete with English language instrumentation and a MPH speedometer but supplied new to Cyprus in March 1990. UK road registered five months later and issued with a duplicate service book, the Mercedes-Benz has had odometer changes with the replacement showing some 92,000 miles. Generously specified as befitted its flagship coupe status, the 560 SEC pleasingly retains such niceties as a period looking Blaupunkt stereo, air-conditioning and headlamp wash / wipe etc. The subject of much expenditure in recent years it has had attention paid to the following: refurbished alloys / new tyres (2020), panelwork (2021), full service / starter motor / boot / front ball joints (2022) and radio / rear bumper respray / sunroof (2023). Various electrical gremlins persist such that the latter is still not operating as intended. However, ‘H355 JLD’ passed its most recent MOT test on July 1st 2025 with ‘no advisories’.

One of just 6,648 Corvette convertibles built during the 1970 model year, this striking example is finished in what we believe to be Monza Red and comes equipped with a 350ci V8 and four-speed manual transmission. The 350 was introduced as the Corvette’s base engine in 1969, while the wide-ratio four-speed was made standard in 1970, with a close-ratio version optional. Our car was imported into Britain from Maryland in 1990, and has been in single-family ownership since 1992, when it was purchased for a significant private collection. In that time, it has never been on the road but has been enjoyed as a static exhibit, which has ensured its survival as a highly original example, with all the interior and exterior fittings appearing to be correct to factory specification. In 2023, it was subject to a condition report, which elicited generally favourable comments concerning the body, interior, chassis and mechanicals, although the mechanical inspection was purely visual and the car was not started. Now displaying a light patina, it stands out as a wonderful preservation piece. Of course, some recommissioning will be required before it can return to the road, and that will necessarily include overhauling the brakes and wiper motor. It is offered with the current V5C, the historic Maryland title and the recent condition report.

The Princess was produced by Austin and its subsidiary Vanden Plas from 1947 to 1968, when it was supplanted by the Daimler DS420. The mainstay of many a hire fleet and civic car pool, it was available in two guises - the Saloon (DS) or limousine (DM), which had a sliding glass partition. There was little difference between the original MK1 (A120) and the MK2 (A135) models, both of which were powered by the same 3995cc OHV straight-six engine and capable of accelerating to 60mph in around 20 seconds and on to a terminal speed of 90mph.
In current ownership since 1977 and previously registered 8000 VT, BVG 324E has been MOT’d regularly throughout it’s life and is offered with a current MOT to June 2026. Finished in white with brown leather interior, it currently registers some 88,000 miles.

Chassis No: JG22300
Ford’s phenomenally successful Escort made its debut at the 1968 Brussels Motorshow. A direct replacement for the long-running Anglia range, while much of the mechanicals were carried over, the styling was far more contemporary. Power came from a choice of 1100 or 1300cc versions of the Crossflow ‘Kent’ engine, which drove through a slick four-speed manual gearbox or three-speed automatic unit and on to the rear wheels. Suspension was by MacPherson struts at the front and live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear, while the Escort was the first Ford to feature rack and pinion steering.
Imported from South Africa in late 2022 and in current ownership since 2023 this Escort has been uprated with a 1.6-litre Crossflow engine and more modern Ford seating - understood to be sourced from an XR3. Evoking the legendary ‘Mexico’ model with decals, flared arches, deep dish wheels and spot lamps, it represents a solid starting point for personalisation or to improve in it’s current form. We are advised the carburettor has been set up by AP Racing at a cost of £400. Benefiting from its years spent in a dry climate, DVG 820G is offered with a current MOT to May 2026 and Swansea V5C document.

Sold new in Britain, this handsome right-hand drive Coupé was manufactured in 2004 and finished in striking Metallic Maserati Azzurro Argentina with interior upholstery trimmed with complementary Cream leather and Dark Blue carpets. Racy 18-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels finished in Dark Grey provide a beautiful contrast to the Azzurro Argentina, and the 4.2-litre V8 is paired with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox. The interior is as well-appointed as one would expect, with the specification including electrically-controlled front seats. With just six registered keepers from new, this Maserati has always been well cared-for and has covered only 38,700 miles. It has been serviced regularly throughout its life and most recently benefitted from a visit to the Sheffield Supercar Centre in August, 2024, where it was serviced, the headlamps were refurbished and the “sticky switches” problem – a common and expensive fault to fix with Maseratis and Ferraris of the period – was rectified. With a long MOT valid until 1st September, 2026, ‘YJ04 TNM’ is offered complete with its book pack (including handbook and service book) in the original Maserati wallet, service records with JCT600 Ferrari & Maserati, MOT history, and the current V5C.

Updated for the 2003 model year, Jaguar’s XK8 gained a larger, more powerful 4.2 litre V8 engine and (even) smoother shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Available in either Coupe or Convertible guise, the latter proved the more popular. An accomplished grand tourer, the 2+2-seater was limited to 155mph and was for more exclusive than the contemporary Mercedes-Benz SL.
Owned by two ladies from new (the current since 2015), this 4.2 litre V8-engined example has covered circa 125,000 miles. Reportedly ‘a well looked after car that has seen regular usage’, the soft-top roof has been replaced during the vendor’s tenure. Starting readily and running well during our photography session, we noted some very minor surface rust to the inner faces of the wheelarches and an area of slight discolouring on the driver’s seat. Like many an XJS or XK8 Convertible the rear three-quarter windows can misbehave on occasion but we have observed all four panes both raised and lowered. The Big Cat’s last long journey was from Bedfordshire to the Peak District which it completed without a hitch. Now ready for only its third keeper, this appealing XK8 is offered for sale with original book pack, assorted invoices / old MOTs, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until March 2026.

Mazda’s foray into rotary engines all started in 1960 with their President Matsuda visiting the German NSU works at Neckarsulm to see the rotary engine Dr Felix Wankel was developing with NSU and subsequently signing an agreement to make Wankel engines under licence in 1961. Mazda went on to introduce their RX7 with twin-rotor Wankel engine in 1978 and the five-speed, rear-wheel drive configuration made it a popular choice. Lightweight (weighing under 1000kg), with its distinctive wraparound all-glass tailgate, four-link rear suspension, simple carburated rotary power and famed 50:50 weight distribution it was lauded by Car & Driver magazine, making it onto their ‘Ten Best’ list in 1983.
Understood to have been in storage since 1992 (as evidenced by the tax disc on the windscreen) and displaying c.24,600 miles, this desirable SA example is fitted with an SA12 carburettor, sunroof, Wankel engine and five-speed gearbox. Originally finished in ‘Mach Green’ which can be seen through the current dark blue paintwork, the car was recently uncovered and now moves under it’s own power.

Introduced in late 1948, the Triumph 2000 Roadster shared the same flamboyant styling and dickey seat as its Frank Callaby-penned predecessor, 1800 of 1946. Based around a near-identical chassis with independent front suspension, hydraulic shock absorbers, and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer benefited from a more refined hypoid-bevel rear axle. Considerably torquier than the unit it replaced, the new Standard-Triumph 2088cc OHV four-cylinder made for notably more relaxed performance. Such was the Roadster’s newfound in-gear flexibility that the decision was taken to provide three rather than four forward speeds. With a production run of only two years, just 2,000 2088cc-powered Roadsters are thought to have been made. In store for over 30 years, this example, fitted with the popular Vanguard 2000 power unit, was subject to a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic refresh finishing in 2018 with a DVD documenting photographs of the work included in the sale. Finished in the Maserati colour, Rosso Bologna, with re-upholstered cream leather to the interior, significant expenditure has been lavished upon the car with just 2000 miles or so covered since completion. Offered with a full size spare wheel with matching white-wall tyre, HUE 195 is beautifully presented and should be viewed to fully appreciate the care and attention it has received.

Like virtually all 101s, our example went straight into military service and was originally painted Army/N.A.T.O. Green with registration ‘65 FL 29’. From the Vehicle Depot at Ashchurch, Gloucestershire, it was transferred in April, 1976, to the 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment. In August, 1976, it was posted to the 1st Battalion, Duke of Edinburgh’s Royal Regiment, and later served with the Infantry Demonstration Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and various others until it was allocated for disposal in 1997. After demobilisation, the 101 was purchased by a skip-hire company and placed in their yard as a promotional vehicle. Several upgrades have been effected during its life, including installing a 3.9-litre EFi Rover V8, Fairey overdrive, a steering dampener and larger tyres. The vendor, who is only the third keeper since demobilisation, acquired it in 2024 and immediately refurbished it. Besides the unmissable repaint, he also overhauled the axles, renovated the wheels, renewed the steering joints and re-applied a protective chassis coating as required. The work cost over £3,000, and since completion the vendor has enjoyed off-roading on the moors and attending classic car events including the Donington Historic Festival. The 101 is offered for sale with the current V5C, a previous MOT certificate, the army movement history, a 1999 dating letter from the Museum of Army Transport, and some spares.

The MkI was produced between 1959 and 1967 at the Longbridge Plant near BMC’s headquarters, with production in Australia continuing until 1970.

First registered on 23rd May 2000, the ‘Landie’ began life in Defender 90 County TD5 specification before a metamorphosis into a Bespoke Defenders creation completed in 2016. The vendor describes ‘a steady development of new and replacement parts having brought the car to its current specification and unique look’. The vehicle underwent a replacement of the internal bulkhead and benefitted from a new galvanised chassis before a Bespoke special two-tone paint job.

The first owner kept it until 1981, and the second enjoyed it for a full 40 years up to 2022, and until 2022 the Jaguar always resided around Huddersfield. Having survived in such a well-preserved state, one might imagine the third owner bought it simply to mothball and admire, but in fact he has done it the full justice of continuing to drive it over long distances while maintaining it to a high standard.
In 2022 the Mk.

Consequently, the vendor has had great pleasure using the Jaguar for a spot of domestic grand-touring, which has included two trips to Wales, one to Cornwall and a recent 200-mile jaunt to Rutland Water from his home in the Peak District.

As the first generation of the C-Class, replacing the 190 series W201 in June 1993, the C-Class saloon was Mercedes’ entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Production reached 1,847,382 units built between 1994 and 2000. Four distinctive trim levels were offered, Classic, Elegance, Esprit and Sport. The Elegance model focussed more on luxury and comfort for the occupants as opposed to lesser trim levels or more sporting features found on other models.

It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a ‘cat’ with strong DNA but also its own distinctive personality. At the time of the newcomer’s unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS.
Finished in a classic colour combination of dark blue bodywork over cream leather interior, we are advised this XK8 drives very well and has often been used as a grand tourer during the vendor’s 12 year ownership.

Distributed through Henlys of London, its original dealer was William Automobiles of Bristol, and pleasingly it retains its original Bristol registration ‘656 RHU’ as well as its original engine and gearbox numbers, the gearbox being a Moss four-speed. It is also desirably fitted with Reutter reclining front seats, a factory option in period, as well as some more recent upgrades including hydraulic power steering and electronic ignition.
This 3.8 benefitted from a very substantial renovation during 2018 and 2019, with many new parts sourced through the David Manners Group. During this period, it was repainted in its present metallic Gunmetal Grey, which remains in beautiful condition along with the rest of the bodywork; we are advised that four new old-stock doors were fitted, and their fit is superb. The work also involved the retrimming of the interior and refurbishment of the wood veneers, along with the installation of a limited-slip differential. Since completion, it has been widely exhibited at shows, even being named Best in Show at the 2019 Redditch Lions Classic Car Show. More recently, the brakes were overhauled with new pads, a new servo and a new master cylinder.
In 2022, the Jaguar was bought by an enthusiast who continued to keep it well-tuned, using it for long-distance touring around Britain.

The conversion was undertaken upon purchase by the third owner in 2020, and it entered the present ownership in 2022. From their home in the Peak District, it has taken the vendor on several pleasant holidays into Wales and Cornwall.
The spacious interior provides accommodation for three, with one double bed and a pull-out single, and contains all the other features one could desire in a home away from home – a compact living space, a kitchenette with oven and refrigerator, and a small bathroom with a shower. There’s even a television and an outdoor awning, and there’s still plenty of storage space left for transporting all kinds of holiday sundries. On the mechanical front, it is powered by the turbocharged, DOHC 2143cc diesel straight-four, paired with the six-speed manual gearbox. Having covered just 63,000 miles from new, there should be plenty of life left in it. Last serviced in 2021 at 61,578 miles, it is sold with the V5C, assorted invoices, MOT certificates and service history.

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. 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-theart computer management and three transmission modes (Drive, Sport and Semi-Auto) which proved the real game changer. The most luxurious super saloon money could buy – especially in indulgent Mulliner Level II guise - the last Arnage T cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and 179mph. Of the 211 cars built during the 2007 model year only 81 were to right-hand drive specification.
This desirable 2007 model year Arnage ‘T’ Mulliner Level II specification example is finished in Black with Cream, diamond-stitched upholstery. Optioned with a sunroof and Piano Black wood veneers, it has covered 124,000 miles from new. Reportedly main dealer serviced up to 84,500 miles and entrusted to marque specialists thereafter, it is understood that ‘WA07 ETY’ will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.

This 1954 500C Belvedere estate car may not be the first thing that springs to mind when one thinks of the Mille Miglia, but 500s were among the most numerous entries on the grid, for one simple reason: they were a cheap way for car-mad Italians to go racing. Furthermore, within the small-capacity classes, they could be quite competitive. A number of Belvedere estates even participated in period, meaning that this charming example could potentially be eligible for the Mille Miglia Storica.
It is understood to have resided in the Como area of Italy for most of its life, with evidence in the form of some early Italian documents which appear to pertain to the original owner, as well as Automobile Club d’Italia membership. It arrived in Britain in 2014, immediately following a restoration in Italy, which was said to be “to original specification and retaining most of its original parts.” The present owner is the fourth since it was imported, and he has effected much recent maintenance including fitting four new Michelin radial tyres, a new master cylinder, and assorted new bushes, as well as overhauling the brakes and having the radiator recored. Consequently, it presents as a very fine example of a practical, fun and unusual classic.

Desirably specified with wire wheels and overdrive, this rare RHD home-market TR3 represents a highly useable example of the much-loved model, with history from new. Built in September, 1957, it was registered in 1958 by Dudley Cobbold Autos of Wimbledon, Surrey, before being sold to a gentleman in Epsom. In 1978, it was shipped to Wichita Falls in Texas but was reimported in 1990, and a “body-off restoration” was commenced in 1993. The work involved overhauling the overdrive, differential and propshaft, recoring the radiator, and refreshing or replacing a number of assemblies. The brakes were renewed with new front discs (as fitted by the factory), it received a new exhaust system including the manifold, the overdrive was overhauled, and assorted other new parts included the springs and shock absorbers, the fuel pump, the half-shafts and an alternator.
Little-used following the restoration, with the Triumph then was purchased by the vendor in December 2024, requiring recommissioning. Having made it roadworthy again, he describes it as “good” in all areas. It is sold with assorted papers including copy of the buff logbook, a heritage certificate, a photo album of the restoration and assorted post-restoration invoices. A rare and desirable home market example, ready for many excursions again!

The Fiesta Mark IV was launched in October, 1995, and became Britain’s best-selling car from 1996 to 1998, with the Mark IV benefitting from new interior and exterior styling. It maintained similar dimensions to the Mark III, but the RS1800 and RS Turbo models were not carried over to the updated Fiesta range. The model featured a range of new Zetec engines, available in 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre petrol units, with a 1.8-litre diesel engine slightly modified for the Mark IV and now marketed as the Endura DE. Lower-specification models remained available with what was the final edition of the Kent 1.3-litre OHV engine, now known as the Endura E.
A genuine “one careful lady owner” car, this now-rare 1997 Fiesta 1.3-litre three-door model has covered just 43,000 miles from new. Originally sold through Ford main dealer Sandicliffe of Birmingham, it has remained in Birmingham ever since. The care lavished on it across its life is really remarkable, with regularly servicing up to the present – the most recent stamps (from the Villa Cross Garage) are from 2018 (39,794 miles), 2020 (41,102), 2022 (41,700) and 2024 (42,375).

Not many family cars can say they are still driving after 50 years and have never been restored, but this exemplary Cortina 1600 L is one of the few that can. It has had only one owner from new and, despite being in regular use until the early ’80s and covering several long-distance trips abroad, it evidently has not had a hard life. Originally sold through Ford main dealer T. C. Harrison Ltd. of Derby on 1st August, 1971, the price new was £839.50 plus £209.68 purchase tax.
The Cortina has always been garaged and, after it fell out of regular use, the owner recognised that it was worthy of preservation and started using it for pleasure trips and classic car shows. It has faithfully completed a tour of Scotland plus many visits to France, and over time it has not so much aged as matured. It remains splendidly original and unmolested; the interior and paint are wonderfully preserved, with just a light patina. Even the T. C. Harrison sticker remains intact in the rear window and original number plates are in place. Offered with the V5C, original sales invoice and a spare fuel tank, this is a very special survivor which deserves to be cherished, and is sure to generate lots of attention wherever it is shown.

The Morris Minor is almost as universal a symbol of England as the London bus and the red telephone box and, with over 1.3 million manufactured in its 23-year reign, is one of the most successful cars of all time. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and 13 years later became the first British car to achieve a million sales. The final iteration followed a year later and featured an increase in engine capacity to 1098cc, a modified facia layout with recessed centre section in textured steel, a return of a glovebox lid for the passenger-side cubby hole, improved heater and more contemporary-looking front light units.
This Minor was subject to a restoration started when vendor acquired the vehicle over 15 years ago and completed in 2016 costing some £7,100, with details outlined in the extremely well organised history file. Fitted with Minilite style wheels, the car displays some 60,160 credible miles and retains its original engine, although this has been refreshed and improved with uprated cooling. Offered with original buff log book, invoices and current MOT to June 2026.

Mercedes-Benz’s internal designation for its compact saloon from 1993-2000, was W202.
As the first generation of the C-Class, replacing the 190 series/W201 in June 1993, the C-Class was Mercedes’ entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Although the smallest model in the company’s line up at the time, its mini S-Class looks offered style and luxury but in a more affordable package. Production reached 1,847,382 over the model years 1994 to 2000. Four distinctive trim levels were offered, Classic, Elegance, Esprit and Sport, with the Elegance option focussing more on comfort and refinement for the occupants.
Finished in silver over grey leather and wood trim, M125 PKH has covered c.46,000 miles from new. Fitted with the more desirable and powerful 2.8-litre in-line six cylinder power unit, the car retains a fitted dashboard telephone to the interior.

Looking very attractive in its Machine Silver paint, ‘VN04 VPV’ was first registered on 26th April, 2004, and sold through Brooklyn Ford of Redditch to a gentleman of Hazel Grove, Cheshire. Impressively, it remained in his ownership until 2020, and has had only five keepers in total. It was clearly cherished throughout the first ownership, as may be seen from its well-preserved condition and the paperwork file which contains an extensive record of maintenance and upkeep. With 127,000 miles now behind it, the original service book contains regular main-dealer service stamps up to 2016 (at circa 88,000 miles), with later work documented in a raft of invoices.
Cosmetically, the Mondeo has survived very well, with the paint still presenting handsomely and the sporty interior in very good overall condition, with just a light patina appearing on the leather seats. On the mechanical front, it remains a potent and spirited machine, and ought to provide its next owner with a lot of pleasure on the open road. Supplied with an MOT until 9th April, 2026, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a now-rare fast Ford, and possibly the most exciting estate car of its generation.

Imprezas were quick cars out of the box, but they could be made quicker, and this is a very good example of what can be achieved. In the present ownership since 2016, it has received a litany of upgrades and is now said to produce 390bhp and 411ft lbs of torque. The engine has been thoroughly tuned by the Scoobyclinic, who have installed one of their 2.1 fully-forged engines (stroked to increase displacement from two to 2.1 litres). The modified engine uses ACL main and big-end bearings, STi 5/6 heads, and a Garrett 38 turbocharger. The six-speed manual transmission and matching back axle have come from a 2004 Impreza. Other upgrades include STi injectors, a K&N air filter, a Mishimoto top-mount intercooler, a 3in Miltek exhaust with 5in Cobra backbox, and Tein lowering springs. The interior is mostly original but for the Momo steering wheel and half-bucket front seats, while the exterior presents in its original Midnight Blue, in which it was resprayed in 2019. Bronze 17in Rota Grid wheels and Marelli headlights complete the package. For security, a Clifford alarm system has been installed.
Post-modifications, the Impreza has been well-maintained. It has had its brake lines renewed and new tyres, sills and front arches were fitted in 2024. The vendor deems the car “very good” in all areas.

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.
As noted in the owners handbook, which includes PDI stamps from a Cypriot dealer who still operates today, this 2002 was delivered new to a Flt Lt Green, on deployment with the RAF in Cyprus in 1972. A UK RHD specification round tail light car, in current ownership for 12 years, it comes with numerous invoices from leading specialists including Jaymic and Jim Stokes including; £4500 for body restoration work (November 2018), £2298 for exhaust work (December 2023) and £1870 for a brake servo overhaul (February 2024) etc. Now presenting in good condition throughout, ABW 222K further benefits from a new footwell carpet set.

The 1990s Rover Mini Sprite revived the name and usurped the old ‘City’ designation. From its spring 1992 introduction, the Sprite was fitted with a single-point injection 52bhp version of the 1275cc motor and had an open-loop catalytic converter. Black wheel arches and grille frontage were teamed with chrome bumpers and standard-fit 12-inch steel wheels on the front disc-braked car. A Sprite script decal was applied to each rear three-quarter panel below the side windows. The model was deleted late in 1996 at the introduction of the front radiator series of Minis.
Displaying a genuine c.14,600 miles in the hands of one owner from new, this Sprite is finished in red on top of a rare Granite “Smarties” interior. Entered from a deceased estate, it has been in storage following their passing. Upon inspection it was noted that the subframe appears in fine condition while the bodywork is generally good. The interior presents in very good condition offering a timewarp experience for the occupants. Fitted from new with an automatic gearbox making it possibly the ultimate nippy little town car, it will require the usual recommissioning including brakes, exhaust, fuel pump & tank before being usable again.

The Suzuki Carry is a long-running Kei truck, produced by the Japanese manufacturer since 1961, covering 11 different generations. Developed to meet Japanese domestic market Kei regulations – fitting certain dimensions and engine specifications for beneficial tax and insurance rates – the Carry has plenty of competitors in Japan, but not many manufacturers offer Kei-based models in the UK. As such, the Carry should be a rare model, but its cheap-to-buy-and-run nature made it popular in the Eighties and Nineties in particular, especially in urban areas where its compact size is praised – although few have survived to this day.
Manufactured in 1998, this ninth-generation Super Carry TX was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered new on the 31st of August. Presented in the White and Red paintwork with the Japanese rising sun across one side of the van. In long-term second ownership from 2001 until 2019, the Suzuki is offered now having a recorded mileage of 112,400 miles and just three former keepers from new. Benefitting from a new brake servo, brake pipes, and tyres all round in the past year, the Carry is offered with an MOT certificate until June 2026.

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.

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.

(c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value;
(d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses;
5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.

7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either:
(a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively)
(b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.
8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.
9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made:
(a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot;
(b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting
the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced, placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of the Seller.
9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission.
10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk.
10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer.
10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer.
10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier.
10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.
10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds
11.1 If the Buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the total Amount due within 21 days after the Sale, the Auctioneer will notify the Seller and take the Seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action. So far as in the Auctioneer’s opinion it is practicable, the Auctioneer will at the Seller’s expense assist the Seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the Buyer, but the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.
11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer.
12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet
a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.
12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary.
12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal.
12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again.
12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides.
12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale.
13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with
the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number re-transferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.
13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so. 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.
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. The Buyer and the Seller consent to such data being kept and used for appropriate purposes, including informing the Buyer and the Seller of any offers or other matters of interest from time to time.
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. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English Law. Each of the Auctioneer, the Seller, the Buyer and any bidder hereby submits to non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
