Sale 241

An Auction of Classic & Performance Motorcars

18th March 2026, Kelham Hall, Newark

WELCOME TO THE AUCTION

Welcome to our first auction of 2026 here at the magnificent, Kelham Hall, near Newark, Nottinghamshire. We will be returning to the stunning, Sir George Gilbert Scott designed stately home for two further auctions this year not to mention a succession of our popular ‘Classics & Coffee’ meetings throughout the season. As such, we hope it becomes something of a ‘regular haunt’ for many of you.

A series of record breaking results in America and Europe over the past few months indicate that interest in the collector car world is as strong as ever. Certainly, there is no shortage of fascinating machinery in this auction which encompasses everything from a 1923 Horstman Four-Seater Tourer (consigned by a descendant of one of the marque’s founders) through to a one owner 2015 Land Rover Defender 90 Pick-Up which has covered just 124 miles from new!

However, few will be able to look past a true, pre-WW2 great in the form of the 1937 Frazer-Nash BMW 328 Roadster which is coming to market for the first time in almost sixty years and at ‘No Reserve’. Comprising eighteen Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Jaguar and Alvis cars, The Alyth Collection of restoration projects contains several coachbuilt gems and is similarly being offered for sale without reserve.

Those looking for cars they can jump in and enjoy are spoilt for choice too from a brace of Aston Martin V8s (a 1983 Vantage ‘V580’ and 1981 Volante) through to two generations of BMW M3 (a 2005 E46 ‘Silverstone’ and a 2007 E92) via various Fast Fords (a 1980 Escort RS2000, 1991 Sierra Sapphire Cosworth and 2010 Focus RS). Representatives of all three E-Type series are on hand including a freshly restored 1962 S1 3.8 Coupe, 1971 S2 4.2 Roadster and 1972 S3 V12 Coupe.

American car enthusiasts are well careered for too with a 1948 Lincoln Continental V12 Convertible, 1958 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and seriously sharp 1972 Dodge Charger Rallye plus three first generation Ford Mustangs any of which would dwarf the two bubble cars going under the hammer, the 1960 Messerschmitt KR200 Deluxe and 1960 BMW Isetta 300.

As you may have gathered, the 125 lots on offer comprise a truly diverse mixture and with 41 of them being offered without reserve we feel it is a sale not to be missed.

Kind regards

Colette

Colette McKay, H&H Managing Director

Warranty

H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore, we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description. This is the reason for our very specific terms as to roadworthiness (Condition 19.1) and absence of warranties (Condition 12.1), which intending purchasers should read carefully.

Commission / Telephone Bids

We will make reasonable efforts to execute commission and telephone bids when instructed provided they are received by 5pm the day before the Sale. Lot(s) will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Where more than one commission bid is submitted at the same winning amount, the commission bid submitted to the Auctioneer first will be the winning bid. We reserve the right to request a refundable deposit of approximately 10% of the intended bid amount.

Payment

For immediate clearance of Lot(s) full payment must be made to H&H Classics Limited by means of Visa Debit or Credit Card, Maestro, MasterCard, Cash up to the GBP

BIC: NWBKGB2L

IBAN: GB98NWBK01091771060480

Racing Cars & Documentation

Buyers are reminded that the presence of an old HVIF (FIA papers) or other documentation does not constitute a ‘promise’ on behalf of the MSA or other issuing authority that they will be re-issued on demand. A car’s application for a Historic Technical Passport will be subject to the prevailing regulation in Appendix K and can be reviewed, much the same way Veteran Cars can be re-dated, as new information comes to light. The Issuing Authority can refuse to issue new papers. Any prospective purchaser should check the position of the Lot prior to bidding.

Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates

When mention is made of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain Dating Plates and Certificates in this catalogue it should be borne in mind that the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain does from time to time review cars already dated and, in some instances, where fresh evidence becomes available, alter the date. Whilst the Club makes every effort to ensure accuracy, the date shown on the Dating Plate or Dating Certificate cannot be guaranteed as correct and intending purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the date of the car.

Export Licence / Dates

Export licences may be required for any lot manufactured or produced 50 years or more prior to the date of export from the U.K. It is the responsibility of the buyer to obtain the licence and correct documentation prior to the exportation of the lot.

PLEASE NOTE: We have been advised that vehicles registered on, and imported from, the Isle of Man are not subject to Import Duty.

Vehicle Identity and Competition History

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

Removal of Lots

A representative of our preferred transport provider E.M. Rogers will be present at the sale to assist with any transport requirements. All lots are held at the purchaser’s risk at the fall of the hammer and must be removed not later than 1pm on the day following the sale. Please note, if lot(s) are not removed by then the standard charges as stated in our Terms and Conditions will apply.

1948 Bentley Mk VI Saloon

No Reserve*

1

Reg No: LSV 242 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B478DA

Attractively presented in a very fetching but not so common Maroon, this 1948 Mk. VI is offered as a very worthwhile recommissioning project after being owned for almost forty years by one enthusiast owner. Chassis B-478-DA was finished in Maroon from new, with the build records indicating that it was finished with a single body line with Beige hide upholstery, Fawn headlining, and Maroon carpets. It was then sold through Jack Olding & Co. of London W.1, but little further history is known until 1985, when the Bentley was acquired by a private owner in Nottinghamshire. Painted Cream, it was thereafter seen in service as a wedding car before the present owner acquired it in 1988. He proceeded to treat it to a professional bodywork restoration to its original colour scheme over the ensuing years. Upon its completion, the owner very much enjoyed driving the Bentley to rallies and other events, but circumstances eventually compelled him to take it off the road in 2015, since when it has been dry-stored in a garage. It now appears as a straightforward recommissioning project, with the engine recently having been spun over on the starter by the (now retired) mechanic who has maintained it in the current ownership. Displaying a large degree of originality and some gentle patina, it would possibly make an ideal entry into the world of classic Bentleys.

1949 Riley RMB 2½ Litre

No Reserve*

Reg No: JHP 344 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 59S4936

This 1949 RMB evokes a real sense of nostalgia for post-war Britain, and presents beautifully having been stripped and restored in the 1980s, and well cared-for ever since. Showing only two former keepers, it entered the present ownership from a deceased estate in 2021, since when it has been very sympathetically improved. It received a major service in 2022, including greasing, carburettor refurbishment, and the replacement of the rocker cover gaskets and gearbox and axle fluids, and the engine was completely overhauled in 2024. This latter work saw the cylinders relined and bored to standard size, fitted with high-compression pistons and converted to shell bearings. Much additional work was completed at the same time, including rebushing the suspension, and replacing the front brake seals and the rear axle bearings and seals. These jobs and more are covered in an invoice from Corman Ltd. totalling £9,193. Also in the present ownership, the RM has had its bonnet repainted, the excellent original upholstery has been repacked, and the wiper motor has been repaired. The vendor keeps a small fleet of cars and has enjoyed exercising the RMB, but now that he has accumulated six Rileys he has decided to downsize slightly. Included in the sale are an instruction book, three workshop manuals and some restoration photos.

1992 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet

No Reserve*

Reg No: LDZ 8500 MOT: September 2026 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430911

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 three owners since, including long-term previous ownership of fifteen years. The service book reveals regular maintenance, showing 16 service stamps of which 14 were issued by a main dealer. After 34 years, the Porsche has covered just 69,000 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 this year. 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.

1974 Triumph Stag

Low-mileage example with believed single ownership until 2023

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

4

Reg No: TOV 109N MOT: Exempt Chassis No: LD335470

A well-presented and impressively correct example, this Stag has survived in remarkably original condition, having benefited from a genuine “one careful lady owner” from new until 2023. Built on August 18th, 1974, the Stag was despatched on September 12th to P. J. Bailey of Birmingham, and transferred to the selling dealer, the All Electric Garage of Harborne, painted New White, with the trim and hood in Black. The first owner (who appears as the registered keeper twice) bought it for shopping in the Tamworth area, but must have covered some distance, as it had received its 24,000-mile service by 1976, all early servicing done by Eric Bailey Car Sales in Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Nevertheless, the 57,000 miles on the odometer was said to be genuine when the Stag was sold in 2023, and from its condition, it’s believable. It is now on its third owner, the second (from 2023 to 2025) having been a friend of the first. Always garaged, the interior is all-original and it is believed the panels are, too. A new mohair hood was fitted in 2023 for £1,600, and the seats were reformed for £1,200 in 2025, retaining the original covers. It is supplied with original books including the handbook and stamped service book, a B.M.I.H.T. certificate, two sets of keys and the factory hardtop.

1923 Horstman Four Seat Tourer

Offered from a Horstman founder descendant No Reserve*

1960 Jaguar Mk. II 3.8

5

Reg No: BF 5755

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 2715

To Christchurch, New Zealand, by then Horstman agent Ian Buchannon. BF 5755 spent nearly 100 years in New Zealand before being repatriated to the U.K. in 2011. Amazingly, it was loaded onto a ship for England three days prior to the biblical Christchurch earthquake of 2011 which destroyed the garage where the car had resided for so many years; it is therefore a miracle this rare example survives today. The car retains its original tourer body which is in a formerly-restored, patinated condition along with its matching numbers 1496cc Anzani engine, a design widely used at the time. Captain John Wentworth Rooke, co-founder and prominent engineer of the Horstman company, ran Horstman cars personally and was a long term owner of one known as ‘The Silver Car’ in Horstman circles.

His Granddaughter, who is offering the car, purchased BF 5755 in 2011 as a memento of her family name; saving it from the Christchurch earthquake and running it locally up until around 2021. Since then, it has been dry stored and is now coming to market after 15 years residency in the UK. Having not run since c.2021 it will require light recommissioning prior to road use and would be ideal for anyone familiar with the 1496cc Anzani engine with an eye for a rare and unusual pre-war tourer.

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: YYJ 940 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: BMJ61P215114BW

American sports-car enthusiasts famously loved the E-type, but less well-known is the fact that Mk. IIs found appreciative homes Stateside. This 3.8-litre was one of them—manufactured on October 31st, 1960, it was dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York on November 11th. Having been restored circa 1990 in Opalescent Maroon, it ended up living in California’s car-friendly climate, prior to being reimported into Britain in 1994. It remained in single ownership until it was acquired by our vendor in 2008, who set about turning it into his vision of the perfect Mk. II.

He began in 2008 by converting it to RHD, and added a stainless exhaust in 2010. The brake servo and discs were reconditioned in 2015, and a multitude of work was carried out in 2020 including bodywork repairs, and fitment of new brake pads and new chrome wire wheels. In 2022, the radiator was reconditioned and a high-power starter fitted, while in 2025 the carburettors were rebuilt and the cylinder head was skimmed. And there’s more: with electronic ignition, dynamotor, power steering, an XJ6 steering rack and a five-speed Toyota gearbox, this Mk. II is perhaps more “super saloon” than “sports saloon.” The paperwork includes many invoices, M.O.T.s dating back to 1994, old tax discs and a J.D.H.T. heritage certificate.

1960 Daimler SP250 Dart

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: 1903 HP MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 100598

This UK supplied RHD example is believed to be the first Daimler SP250 ever fitted with automatic transmission, having been originally used by the factory’s experimental department. Well known in the Daimler enthusiast community, it is fitted with a 3-speed Detroit DG gearbox and is documented in company records. First registered in April 1960, it has been in the current fourth owner’s possession for 12 years. Finished in Red with Black vinyl soft-top, black leather interior and beige carpet, the car rides on 15-inch wire wheels. A removable hardtop is included, which will require recommissioning prior to use. The car was subject to a recent mechanical overhaul by marque specialist AJ Lee Classics Ltd which included fitting a new battery, a full brake overhaul, engine bay detailing, replacement of gaskets and seals, coolant flush, full lubrication service, electrical repairs and boot area trimming. In addition, the car benefits from the installation of an uprated rack and pinion steering system, overhauled front suspension with poly bushes, rear telescopic shock conversion, antiroll bar fitment, spin-on filter conversion and front trunnion overhaul. Offered with V5C, JDHT certificate, MOT certificates back to 1976, two spare keys, spare wheel and numerous maintenance invoices since 2013, the car’s last MOT test, conducted on 21 July 2018 at an indicated 34, 496 miles, resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories.

1936 Riley 1½ Litre Falcon

No Reserve*

Reg No: CHT 754

MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 26F4106

The 1½ Litre Falcon represents one of the rarer Riley variants of the 1930s, with just 1,200 built and only a handful still on the roads. Nevertheless, their capable engines and spacious, well-appointed bodies make them an ideal model for enthusiasts who intend to use their Riley regularly, and enjoy it with their family. Carrying a period Bristol registration number, which we take to be original, this Riley has evidently been the recipient of a high-quality restoration in the past and still presents extremely well. While in the present ownership, it has received some servicing just to maintain its already excellent mechanicals, and has just seen light but regular use for local journeys, pub meets and so on.

Given all the time in the world, the vendor would like continue using it in the same vein, but since he has accumulated six Rileys, he has decided it is time to let go of a couple and let the others enjoy their turn in the sun. Supplied with the V5C, this Falcon must represent one of the most versatile pre-war cars, and it would be very happy on a V.S.C.C. tour or at a 1940s weekend, or even just running local errands during the warmer months.

1966 Alfa Romeo GTAm

Evocation

Desirable UK-supplied, RHD example, in GTAm guise

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: PMC 30D MOT: June 2026

Chassis No: AR753220

Not many Giulia Sprint GTs were supplied new to Britain, but this was, making it a rare RHD survivor. Registered on 18th May, 1966, it was kept by its first owner until 1984. The second owner placed it in storage after a year, and it did not emerge until 2014. By that stage, it was a major project – the ideal basis for an evocation of the GTAm, the racing variant of the Giulia GT. With only forty original GTAms built, the owner of this Sprint followed the evocation route, entrusting the work to Severn Classics. The body was stripped to the bare metal and new panelling was installed for the floors and door skins. The wings were modified with GTAmstyle wide arches, and the owner sourced a fibreglass bonnet and boot lid and Perspex windows, with the interior panelling made from a lightweight alloy. The car has been fitted with a full roll cage, Cobra racing bucket seats and four-point harnesses, and even a lightweight alloy fuel tank. Wide racing wheels complete the package. The engine was overhauled with a polished crank, new pistons and rings, and new valves and guides. The head and block were skimmed, the radiator was recored and the Weber carburettors were refurbished with all-new gaskets, needles and washers. The suspension was renovated with new shock absorbers, powder-coated springs, and more. The gearbox, back axle and differential were fully reconditioned, and the brakes received new cylinders all-round. The stainless-steel exhaust and wiring loom were newly-made. Still road-legal, the car has an MOT with no advisories until 29th June. While appearing as a track demon, the Giulia has been on static display since the vendor acquired it in 2016, meaning bidders have the opportunity to acquire an almost freshly-renovated Alfa which has been kept practically out of sight since 1985, and could potentially be a competitive historic racer. It is sold with the V5C, records from previous ownerships, photographs of the 2014 rebuild and invoices totalling £11,000.

2007 Bentley Continental GTC

Warranted 25,000 miles from new

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: BX07 PWZ MOT: August 2026

Chassis No: SCBDE23W07C049368

Finished in its original colour scheme of Black with a Beluga leather interior, this GTC has survived in excellent condition having covered under 26,000 miles from new, with only two former keepers. It left the Crewe production line specified with much desirable equipment, including decorative inserts in piano lacquer, a leather multi-function steering wheel, a digital sound package, front seat heaters, and car phone preparation.

The Continental was first registered in Birmingham on June 1st, 2007, and was retained by its first owner until January, 2012, subsequently spending thirteen years with its appreciative second owner. The first four services were completed by Bentley Birmingham, these taking place on May 20th, 2008 (2,715 miles); May 20th, 2009 (5,125 miles); May 6th, 2010 (7,561 miles); and May 9th, 2011 (10,000 miles). The next service was performed at Bentley Manchester on March 10th, 2014, at 15,046 miles, and subsequent services have been the work of specialist garages, notably South Manchester BMW at 24,788 miles on November 1st, 2023, and at 24,845 miles on November 4th, 2024. The most recent service was undertaken by sports and prestige car centre at 25,187 miles on August 26th, 2025. Some indication of the care with which it has been treated may be understood from the fact that since its first MOT in 2010, it has been tested every year thereafter and has never failed nor even accrued a single advisory point, the present valid until August, 2026.

With such sparing use and mindful ownership across the years, it is no wonder that this Bentley has aged so gracefully. The jet Black paint still exhibits an excellent gloss, and the interior looks considerably younger than its nineteen years. A wonderful car for touring, Sunday drives and perhaps even sympathetic daily use, it is sold with history including the book pack and stamped service book.

1937 Morris 8 Two-Seater Tourer

Restored to a very high standard!

No Reserve*

Reg No: COP 484 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: S1E126874

As one of the most useable and characterful prewar cars, it’s no wonder Morris Eights attract a strong following. Certainly, this one has had plenty of admirers following an exhaustive restoration, which started in 1994 and was not finished until 2020. It has only seen very light use since then, however, and must represent one of the best examples of an Eight in existence. Impressively, it comes with ownership history back to 1946, when it belonged to Raymond Selby of Marlcliff, Warwickshire. It passed to Gordon Selby of the same town—clearly a relative— in 1956, and did not leave the family until 1964, when it went to Esther Major of North Littleton, Worcestershire. From the evidence of the buff logbook, Blue appears to have been its original colour.

The 26-year restoration involved a great amount of work, including extensive renewal of the ash frame, a total bodywork renovation and repaint, an engine overhaul and general mechanical reconditioning, plus a completely retrimmed interior with a new hood and side screens, too. An ideal car for prewar events, 1940s weekends and straightforward day-tripping, it is sold with history including the V5C, the 1946 buff logbook, technical data, invoices, and a hardback book containing photographs of the restoration.

1953 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith Hooper & Co Limousine

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: NXD 333 MOT: January 2027 Chassis No: BLW17

Produced between 1946 and 1959, the Silver Wraith was the last Rolls-Royce to be delivered in chassis form alone, of which a total of 1883 was produced – 1,244 with 117in wheelbase and 639 with the 133in wheelbase that was standard from 1953. Many were purchased for official duties and featured formal limousine-style coachwork, with a large number of Wraiths serving as state cars for the Dutch, Danish and Greek royal households and the Irish and Brazilian presidencies. The capacity of the straight-six engine rose from an initial 4257cc to 4566cc in 1951 and was further increased to 4887cc during 1954. Early examples were available solely with four-speed manual transmission. Supplied new to the Sultan of Kelantan, former King of Malaya in 1953, with coachwork by Hooper & Co and bodied to design number 8330. This limousine Wraith has been comprehensively restored by Michael Walkers Garage of Woking before the vendors acquisition in 2004. Since then NXD 333 has had regular servicing, MOT’s and maintenance with both fuel pumps being replaced in 2022, with the points recently reset alongside a compression test in early 2026. Owing to its watchful custodian, the Wraith was running and driving smoothly and quietly at the time of consignment and is offered with a history file, current MOT to January 2027 and Swansea V5C document.

Reg No: BMO 388 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 559

Morgan made its name with its fearsome brand of three-wheelers and the 4-4 (later 4/4) was its first four-wheeled creation (4-4 signifying four wheels and four cylinders). Launched in 1936, it was initially powered by an 1122cc OISE fourcylinder Coventry Climax engine, but this was superseded in 1939 by a 1267cc Triumph unit driving through a Moss gearbox. It proved deservedly popular and, by 1939, 663 Two-Seater examples had been produced. Like its earlier brethren, the 4-4 was quick to prove its worth in competition contesting such blue ribband events as the Tourist Trophy (1937) and Le Mans 24 hours (1938, 1939). Indeed, Prudence Fawcett and her co-driver Geoffrey White won their class and finished 13th overall during the 1938 running of the latter event.

One of just 820 pre-war Morgan 4/4s produced, BMO 338 was subject to a recent comprehensive 4 year restoration with several tasteful upgrades which was completed in 2024. Proudly retaining it’s original 1100cc Coventry Climax engine and gearbox the car is finished in British Racing Green complimented by a grey leather interior. Offered for sale with a Morgan Chassis Record and VSCC Eligibility Document to complete an impressive history file.

The very picture of mid-1960s Ivy League elegance, this Thunderbird has benefited from fifteen years of enthusiast ownership. Indeed, it has had only three registered keepers since it was brought into Britain in 2008, the latest acquiring it in 2011. The history shows it had previously resided in the vicinity of Willamette Falls, Oregon City. The long-term keeper was meticulous, performing extensive work and maintenance to bring it up to its present condition. Cosmetically, it received a full repaint and new whitewall tyres, but most of the work took place ‘under the hood.’ A comprehensive overhaul of the 390ci (6.4-litre) V8, rated when new at 300hp, was performed by Wheels in Motion, which included a rebore, new piston rings, and so on. Wheels in Motion also performed other duties including a gearbox overhaul, fitment of a new exhaust manifolds and new floor pans and, in 2022, a carburettor tune-up, bringing the owner’s total expenditure to around £15,000. Altogether, the Thunderbird boasts a very desirable specification, with power steering, power brakes and air-conditioning, and a few subtle upgrades in the form of an Edelbrock four-barrel carburettor and a period-style D.A.B. radio. The history file includes the V5C, import documents, assorted invoices, a workshop manual, an assembly manual, and a specification manual.

1961 Jaguar MkII 3.8

Desirable, manual / overdrive, home market car with an exceptional history file

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: 3 GNK MOT: December 2026

Chassis No: 205387DN

15

Having part-exchanged a two-year old Rover P5 3 Litre Saloon against his purchase of chassis 205387DN during June 1961, the Jaguar’s first owner soon became enamoured with it. Responsible for collating much of the documentation contained within the MK2’s singularly impressive history file, he specified the sports saloon with a four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, high ratio steering box and Suede Green leather upholstery. Bearing the distinctive number plate ‘3 GNK’, the four-seater was serviced by H.A. Saunders Ltd of Rickmansworth and its Mann Egerton successor up until 1974 at 57,903 miles having been supplied by the Imperial Motor Mart of Royal Crescent, Cheltenham (another arm of the Saunders business). Acquired by its second keeper in October 1980 at 77,000 miles, he barely drove ‘3 GNK’ during his thirty-two year tenure but nevertheless treated it to a new headlining, carpets and sundry rechroming. Joining a marque collection in 2013, the sports saloon was stripped of paint before being finished in its current Lister Green hue. Undergoing its last change of registered keeper during 2021, the four-seater is warranted to have covered a modest 80,000 miles from new. A long term Jaguar enthusiast, the vendor was drawn to ‘3 GNK’ by its condition and authenticity. Thought to have never undergone any major chassis / bodywork repairs, the MK2 pleasingly retains its original book pack (Jaguar wallet, operating, service and maintenance handbook, manufacturer’s warranty card, service facilities listing etc) not to mention a ‘timewarp’ interior. Visually enhanced with Coombs-style rear wheelarches, bullet wing mirrors and painted competition wire wheels, the sports saloon started readily during our recent photography session and showed ‘maker’s oil pressure’ (perhaps unsurprising given that it benefited from a thorough engine overhaul and new clutch circa 1,500 miles ago). A desirable, ‘home market’ MK2 3.8 litre manual / overdrive car offered for sale with an unusually extensive history file, tool kit and MOT certificate valid until December 2026.

1999 Caterham Seven Roadsport 1.8 VVC

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: B9 SVN MOT: March 2027

Chassis No: SDKRDSARCX0030646

A salesman’s dream, chassis 0030646 was factory built with a heated windscreen, leather upholstery, wide track front wishbones, de dion rear suspension, 1.8 litre VVC engine, six-speed manual gearbox and 15-inch ‘Prisoner’ alloy wheels etc. Initially road registered as ‘S10 VVC’, the extravagantly specified Roadsport has twice been sold by Caterham; first when it was new and then again in January 2011 at 3,775 miles. Purchased on the latter occasion by an airline pilot (the two forms of transport making quite the contrast), the twoseater was issued with a new owners handbook showing that it was treated to a cambelt service and sump foam renewal when retailed and a speedometer change shortly thereafter. Averaging a modest 320 miles or per annum over the next fourteen years and garaged when not in use, the Caterham then passed to an engineer who had built various amphibious vehicles for the Top Gear television series. He uprated the Seven, by now appropriately re-registered as ‘B9 SVN’, with a QED Motorsport remote thermostat, Gemzoe Motorsport modified sump gasket (due to the foam having been removed), replacement water pump (with metal impeller) and cambelt plus tensioner service. Unfortunately, spinal stenosis limited his enjoyment hence the Roadsport’s sale to the vendor (a former Lotus employee). Further benefiting from a new alternator, third speedometer (the second accompanies the car) and four fresh Michelin tyres within the past year, the Caterham started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Understood to have covered a mere 10,000 or so miles from new and resplendent in Fire Cracker Yellow paintwork, ‘B9 SVN’ pleasingly retains its original toolkit, various ‘SoftBitsForSevens’ goodies, hood, tonneau cover, sidescreens with integral armrests and two sets of keys. A low mileage, pampered and unusually well-equipped Seven.

1935 Bentley 3½ Litre Park Ward Drophead Coupé

Estimate: £70,000 - £90,000*

Reg No: BYK 889 MOT: Exempt

17

Chassis No: B170EF

While the majority of Derby Bentleys one encounters are Tourers or Sports Saloons, it is always a treat to find one which has been bodied a little more elaborately, and that is precisely what we have here—with its low roofline and gracefully sloping luggage locker, Park Ward’s Drophead Coupé body provides a perfect marriage of luxury with a genuine sporting flavour. It was built to order for Mildred Carson Curzon, Viscountess Scarsdale (1895-1969), who had married the viscount, Richard Nathaniel Curzon, on April 14th, 1923. Richard’s father died in 1925 and he inherited Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire, one of Robert Adam’s country house masterpieces, which epitomised the Palladian ideal. This, for Mildred, would be home when she didn’t have business or society affairs to attend to in London; when she did, she kept a large Georgian townhouse on South Street, just off Park Lane.

The Bentley, chassis B-170-EF, was very tastefully ordered in two tone Grey, with the body and wings in a light shade and the mouldings and wheels in a dark. The interior and mohair hood would be Grey to match. First registered to Bentley Motors (1931) Ltd. on August 21st, 1935, it was transferred to Viscountess Scarsdale’s name on September 16th. Sadly, her marriage was foundering and in March, 1937, she returned the car to Bentley, a year before she began divorce proceedings.

The new owner from April 24th was Robert McCosh, a lifelong Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast of Davidson’s Mains, near Edinburgh. His family had various lucrative interests, including in Baird Steel, the North British Railway and the solicitors J. & J. McCosh. His father, Andrew Kirkwood McCosh, had bought a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost in 1911, which started the tradition. Robert would own a run of 20hps during the 1920s, and postwar was quick to purchase a Bentley Mk. VI.

The full ownership history is known thereafter, including William Lancaster Keen of Greenock from 1946, and Alex Crockett of Glasgow from 1955. Another seven owners followed before the Bentley was bought by the present owner in 2017 from the Real Car Co. In the previous ownership, it had been extensively refurbished by James Black Restorations during 2011 and 2012 at a cost of around £30,000, being repainted in Old English White and benefiting from the

rejuvenation of the leather. New headlamps and a new radiator shell were fitted at a cost of £9,000. It also underwent an extensive programme of electrical improvements. The entire system was rewired with cotton-covered cable in the correct colours with appropriate Ross Courtney terminals, and flashing indicators and a reversing lamp were wired in. Finally, a replacement overdrive was fitted with a new mounting, which necessitated some welding of the floor panels and partial retrimming.

When our vendor acquired it, he immediately submitted it for further improvements to marque specialists the Ristes Motor Co., with whom he spent some £58,000 during 2017 and 2018. Much of the work was centred round the front of the car, where the front suspension was dismantled. The shock absorbers were refurbished, and it was realised that the front springs only had six leaves when according to original specification they should have had nine, so a correct second-hand pair was sourced, refurbished and retempered. The suspension was put back together with a new set of gaiters.

Following the extensive work, the Bentley has been very much enjoyed by the vendor and has been a frequent sight at shows and rallies—with its elegant bodywork, it is invariably much admired at any gathering—and was observed to run well during its photoshoot. A Post-Vintage Thoroughbred in the most complete sense, B-170-EF is supplied with the V5C, its original buff logbook, copies of the Bentley build records, technical documents, M.O.T.s back to the 1990s, and many recent invoices.

1980 Ford Escort RS2000 Custom

Exhaustively restored and presenting fabulously!

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000*

Reg No: KWV 819W MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: GCATAG002780

With an estimated 10,000 produced between 1976 and 1980, there has never been a time when the top performance of Escort of the ’70s has been anything other than highly desirable. That is not to say they have necessarily always been appreciated—when they were still fairly new, the RS2000’s boy-racer appeal meant that many were worn-out through hard driving, and they vanished seemingly overnight. These days, demand for RS2000s rather outstrips supply, such that many enthusiasts have turned lower-specification Escorts into copies with varying regard for authenticity, but this end-of-the-line, top-of-the-range 1980 RS2000 Custom is the real thing and surely ranks among the very best survivors.

While many RS2000s suffered the fate of most cars, whereby they were eventually neglected by their second, third or fourth owners, this one was rather more fortunate. Finished in Nordic Blue with a Chocolate interior, it was bought new by a gentleman from Crawley, in whose care it remained until 2013. It then passed through two family members, before it was purchased by the present owner in 2016. Although it had been somewhat preserved by the previous family, it had been off the road for over a decade and was showing its age in places, so the vendor set about commissioning a full restoration but with a brief to keep the car as original as possible.

Some idea of the Escort’s general condition may be gleaned from the fact that it did not take very much work to get it running for an M.O.T. test in July, 2016, which it passed with no advisories. Indeed, based on the condition of its original interior, it seems very likely that the 83,028 miles displayed on the odometer at the time of the test was the genuine mileage from new. The firm chosen for the restoration was ASM Classics in Kent, near Brands Hatch. A specialist in the restoration of classic Jaguars and Fords, ASM is well-known for its work preparing Escorts, Cortinas et al . to road, race and rally specification; its other recent projects have included concours-standard restorations of a 1974 Mk. I Escort RS2000, an extremely rare 1980 Escort Mk. II Harrier, and the ex-Perry’s Ford (Mick Briant/ Peter Robinson) Mk. I Escort Twin Cam rally car.

Where our Escort was concerned, ASM started by stripping it back to the bare shell, fitting new panels only where necessary, and putting it back together using original parts wherever possible, the entire process being photographically

documented. It is difficult to overstate the attention to detail of the restorers— they even went to the trouble of recreating the quality-control paint marks on the underside, which would have been present when the car was new. The exterior was beautifully finished in a fresh coat of Nordic Blue, but because the original Chocolate interior had survived so well, it has very pleasingly been preserved. Everything from the dash to the door cards has been described as “100 per cent. original and in impeccable condition,” with the seats still retaining the fishnets in their head supports. Altogether, the work performed by ASM Classics totalled £55,000 but, to look at the car now, we think it is fair to conclude that not a penny was spent in vain.

As it presently stands, this car would not be out of place in a Ford concours where, judged on condition or originality, it could easily be a winner. As enthusiasts, we don’t believe that any car can be ‘too good to drive,’ but this is certainly one to be cosseted. It is offered for sale with the current V5C, previous V5s, a D.V.L.A. ownership history print-out, and the photographs from the restoration.

Reg No: CTS 61C MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B186HN

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GMD56

The origins of this charming 20/25 are very interesting, as it was originally bodied by the rather obscure coachbuilder Watson of Lowestoft, with what it called an ‘Enclosed Cabriolet’ (i.e. Saloon) body. Although it remained active as a car bodybuilder until 1937, it ceased attending the Olympia shows after 1930, so it is a surprising that a Rolls-Royce customer should have patronised them, unless they were a resident of Suffolk. Indeed, the ‘ABJ 999’ number plate is an East Suffolk issue. However, very early in its life, it was rebodied as a Sports Saloon by Charlesworth of Coventry, which was then in its prime. Later history is unknown, as ‘ABJ 999’ disappeared from the D.V.L.A. records many years ago, but some thirty years ago or more it was bought for the Alyth Collection, where it was the oldest resident. Despite its age and disused state, it is by no means in bad shape, and the condition of the upholstery is suggestive of some previous restoration. It will obviously need some light restoration, but it certainly is not a formidable project and would be suitable, perhaps, for an enthusiastic amateur.

One of the last of the S3 line, this Standard Steel saloon manages to sustain an elegant appearance in spite of the decay it has suffered over a long period off the road. Originally registered in Dundee in March, 1965, as ‘CTS 61C’, chassis B186HN was taken off the road in April, 1991, around the time it entered the Rolls-Royce and Bentley-focussed Alyth Collection. We note that the odometer reading has stood still at 58,651 miles, which could conceivably be original and, if so, would suggest that the mechanical parts have not sustained any excessive wear. In keeping with a low-mileage car, the interior appears to be well-preserved underneath the dust, and it should not take much to revive the original leather and woodwork. While the bodywork shows some obvious cosmetic flaws, there are no immediate signs of any severe deterioration of the panels, though we would, of course, insist that any prospective bidders inspect it to their satisfaction. Certainly, the rescue of this Bentley should be achievable by any experience restorer, and it fully deserves to see the road again.

Nothing is known of the history of this 12/70, except that it was acquired some thirty years ago or more for the Alyth Collection, where it has resided primarily in the company of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. Although presented as a major restoration project and in a partially dismantled state, most of the panels look to be in a saveable condition and we have no doubt that, with a bit of time and effort, the chassis and drivetrain could be returned to roadworthiness.

Considering the Mulliners Drophead Coupé body is such a rare thing, with only 150 made and a small handful surviving, we would strongly advocate for this car being restored rather than relegated to being a spares donor. While there may be some interest in turning it into a special, we would point out that many clubs including the Vintage Sports-Car Club are increasingly denying eligibility to specials which have been made by discarding original coachwork. Instead, we would encourage prospective special-builders to bid for one of the two Alvis TA14 bare chassis also offered at no reserve from the Alyth Collection.

Perhaps the best-looking of all the upmarket Saloons of the immediate post-war era—and considerably cheaper than a Bentley—Mk. V Jaguars are nevertheless a very rare sight. William Lyons’s artistic eye and love of curves resulted in a shape that seemed to flow effortlessly through the air, while more upright designs of the period had to push their way through it. Sadly, nothing really is known about this example, except that it has spent some thirty years or more being preserved in the Alyth Collection of predominantly Rolls-Royces and Bentleys in Scotland. The fitment of the number plate ‘ANO 18A’ would suggest it was reregistered in Essex in 1963, but the D.V.L.A. no longer holds any records of that number.

While clearly in need of total restoration, the work certainly appears to be within the capabilities of a skilled restorer, though it will obviously take much time and commitment. Although partially dismantled, many parts are supplied with the car. There is no doubt that it can be put to good use, either as a project or a spares donor, but such a rare and attractive design surely deserves saving.

1957 Jaguar XK150 3.4-Litre Drophead Coupé

Estimate: £60,000 - £80,000*

Reg No: VSK 423 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S837165

This charming XK150 has only ever had one private British owner, having been originally exported to America, and then cherished by the same enthusiast upon its repatriation in 1989. Factory records indicate that ‘VSK 423’ was manufactured as a left-hand drive, 3.4-litre Drophead Coupé on December 3rd, 1957. Finished in Cotswold Blue with a Blue hood and Dark Blue interior trim, it was despatched on December 23rd to Jaguar Cars of New York. What happened to it while it was in America is not recorded, but when it came back to Britain it was a major project.

The registered keeper explained his reasons for taking it under his wing: “For years I had wondered about acquiring an XK150. During the late ’80s I became aware of the rapidly increasing prices of classic sports cars, particularly Astons and Ferraris, and a work colleague persuaded me that I should buy then or I may never afford one. I tracked this car down in the U.S.A. viâan agent in Germany and having been assured of its excellent condition purchased it unseen. I imagined tinkering with the mechanics and getting some immediate use. In July ’89 it was delivered to my work address in a trailer. I was shocked by the condition. Neither steering nor engine was connected, parts of chrome trim were missing, and it was obviously far from being drivable.”

After losing confidence in the first restorer, the vendor entrusted the XK to the Bridport Jaguar Restoration Centre, which set about overhauling the chassis and engine, and refurbishing the body from the bare metal. Rust in the rear wings and panel meant that the most economical solution was to replace the rear-end bodywork. When Bridport finished its work, the interior was reupholstered by Ken Day. The restoration reached completion in the spring of 1992, when the Jaguar was first registered with the D.V.L.A., and the owner wasted no time in going out and enjoying the car.

He took it to Paris three times in 1992 and ’93, and other journeys in 1993 included a trip to the XK Day at Burghley House and summer tours of the North of England and Brittany. It received further use during 1994, although 1995 was a quiet year as the owner was preoccupied with the restoration of another XK150 Drophead Coupé. In 1996, ‘VSK 423’ was taken to the South of France and, in 1997, both XKs went to Auvergne viâ Brittany and covered the 1,500 miles faultlessly. Both cars were present at the XK 50th Anniversary event at Castle Donington in 1998, and

they returned to the South of France in 2000. Perhaps the Jaguar’s grandest tour to date was a fourteen-day rally round the North of Spain with the XK Register in 2016.

Since it has been enjoyed so extensively, ‘VSK 423’ has benefitted from regular maintenance as and when required. In 2004, VSE overhauled the engine’s bottom end, and occasional cosmetic refreshment has included a partial repaint. In 2010, a new hood was made by Aldridge Trimming for £3,300, and in 2017 a new clutch and master cylinders were fitted.

The XK150 still presents in very good order some thirty-five years after its original restoration, and is no doubt eagerly awaiting its next Continental jaunt. It is to be sold with a very large history file, including a J.D.H.T. certificate; a souvenir brochure from the 50th Anniversary event; many restoration invoices and photographs; M.O.T.s dating back to 1992; and invoices from specialists such as M. & C. Wikinson, Guy Broad, Heddell & Deeks, Colin Webb, Paladin Jaguar, and VSE.

2005 BMW M3 Silverstone Edition

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000*

Reg No: MH05 FCP MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WBSBL92050PP86931

The Silverstone Edition was a highly limited production run of just 50 cars, with a very high specification finish. All were finished in Silverstone II Blue metallic with Dark Estoril Blue extended Nappa leather trim, complimented with Aluminium Cube trim, matching trimmed floor mats etc. This example also benefits from a high trim specification including an Anthracite steering wheel, Harman Kardon stereo, digital television, satellite navigation, 19in. diamondcut alloys, bi-xenon lights and parking sensors. Manufactured in December, 2004, and registered new in Manchester, it has only had six registered keepers, and the current registered owner acquired it in 2012, since when he has cherished it very much as the collector’s item it is. It has only seen modest use, with just over 75,000 miles covered from new, and servicing has been performed at regular intervals. The first service was performed on June 13th, 2005, at 1,852 miles by the Auto Centre in Darlington. The second and third were performed by Sandal Motors (Bayern) Ltd. on November 24th, 2005, at 13,468 miles, and on June 16th, 2006, at 27,748 miles. The BMW was returned to the Auto Centre for services four and five, July 24th, 2009, at 45,019 miles, and on October 17th, 2011, at 58,191 miles. The two most recent services were conducted by Prestige Auto Repairs on April 23rd, 2016, at 67,161 miles, and on March 13th, 2021, at 73,373 miles. Based on this, and a general inspection of the car, we feel the vendor is entirely justified in describing the BMW as “very good” in all areas. Having been in practically continuous use throughout its life, the M3 was allowed a bit of a rest and laid-up over the winter of 2025 to 2026. Complete with its book pack, it will be provided with a fresh MOT for the sale. It appears in lovely order inside and out, with very little indication that it is a twenty-year-old car, and it really does invite close inspection.

Original options included wire wheels, a heater, an adjustable steering column, and the very desirable overdrive, and it was despatched for retail through Car Mart Sales Ltd. Impressively, it was in single ownership from 1976 to 2019, and that owner was every bit the enthusiast. By 1992, he had treated the Healey to a thorough cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The interior was entirely retrimmed, including carpets, a new hood and a new dash top. It received new wire wheels, and new body panels were fitted where necessary. Mechanically, the suspension was stripped and refurbished, and the gearbox was overhauled with a new first gear. Prior to parting with the car, the owner further refreshed it with a complete respray in its original red during 2017 and 2018. The present owner acquired the 3000 from well-known Austin-Healey specialist Bill Rawles Classic Cars in 2019, and the purchase included a litany of new upgrades including an alternator conversion, an uprated radiator core and fan, an uprated starter motor, a negative earth conversion, and a bespoke mohair hood. Cosmetically, it received a Moto-Lita steering wheel and vinyl number plates. The sale price also included a fluid change and Waxoyling. A further £3,500 was spent with ASM Classics during 2020 and 2022, but it has seen sparing use since. The Healey’s large paperwork file includes the V5C, a buff logbook and historic V5, MOTs back to the 1990s, restoration invoices, a BMIHT Heritage Certificate and original sales literature. With its multitude of upgrades, it represents a real driver’s car and would be ideal for tours and road rallies.

1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Coupé

Home-market, matching numbers, and exhaustively professionally restored to ‘concours’ standard!

Estimate: £100,000 - £120,000*

Reg No: 509 TOD MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 860906

We are always pleased to welcome an E-type into one of our auctions, but especially so when that E-type has been painstakingly restored in its original colours. Even if this car had not benefited from a restoration by a marque specialist, it would still be highly desirable as it is one of the 1,799 Series I 3.8-litre Coupés built to right-hand drive specification. Manufactured on September 20th, 1962, it was originally finished in the rare combination of Opalescent Dark Blue with Red interior trim, and despatched on October 3rd, 1962, by way of Jaguar Distributors of Leeds to the dealership of H. Thorne in Dewsbury, Yorkshire. Records reveal that it originally carried the West Riding of Yorkshire registration number ‘417 CWW’ and was sold new to one J. N. Kaye.

What happened presumably after Kaye’s ownership is quite extraordinary. Bear in mind that the E-type’s universally acknowledged status as one of the greatest cars of its generation led to early examples being subject to full restorations as early as in the 1970s; enthusiasts of a certain age may well remember that a Series I Coupé starred on the front cover of the December, 1975, issue of Thoroughbred &ClassicCarsmagazine, alongside a Ferrari 166 Inter—a prelude to the story “Buy a second-hand E-type.” Our example, however, did not fall into the hands of quite the same type of enthusiast.

From the records available, we see that Kaye owned it until 1975. We suspect it was the second owner who customised it in the best ’70s fashion... It was painted Red and fitted with extra-wide wheel arches; the bumpers were removed, nonstandard rear lights were fitted, and the standard exhaust pipes were rerouted to the sides and exited through the rear panel. It also assumed a new identity, with the Devon registration ‘509 TOD.’ In 1989, it was sold to its third owner, who proceeded to park it in a leaking garage in Liverpool where he forgot about it, until it resurfaced on eBay in 2014. The steering wheel had been replaced by a 1960s or ’70s aftermarket, small-diameter piece. The reason for its abandonment appears to have been some failure in the engine, which had been left with the cylinder head removed and the bonnet up, allowing water to ingress into the cylinders. It was, in short, a fine old mess. Nevertheless, it attracted plenty of bidders and even became a news story for the Norwegian television channel TV 2!

For whatever reason, the winning bidder only held onto the Jaguar for a year before selling it to the present owner, who fortunately was of a mind to restore it, and to restore it properly. He took the car to ASM Classics Ltd., a well-known classic Ford and Jaguar restoration specialist in Kent, near Brands Hatch. We are privileged to have another ASM restoration in this sale, the 1980 Ford Escort RS2000, but whereas that was restored to factory-correct specification, this E-type went down the bespoke tailoring route.

During the course of the eighteen-month labour of love, all the accumulated boy-racerisms were stripped away, the body shell was reduced to bare metal, and was then pleasingly pieced together again with correct replacement parts as necessary and finished in the original colour scheme. On a mechanical level, the engine was thoroughly overhauled, the suspension was renewed, brand new brake components were fitted throughout, and the electrics were completely rewired. Despite its abuses in the 1970s, the E-type had fortunately managed to hold onto its original, matching-numbers engine. The interior looks beautiful after its comprehensive retrim, and is far, far better off for the reinstatement of the factory-specification wood-rimmed steering wheel. The only readily discernible concession to modernity is the RetroSound Motor 6 radio with D.A.B. and Bluetooth, which has been so seamlessly integrated into the centre console that even the most unflinching of purists would be hard-pressed to object to it. The other upgrades include stainless steel six-inch wire wheels, electronic ignition, a high-torque starter, a dynamator charging system, an uprated cooling system and uprated brakes.

The restoration is about as fresh as they come, with the car having only covered five miles since it was completed, so it will obviously be up to the new owner to take care of the running-in. Judged by its condition alone, this E-type is deemed a potential concours star, but we think it goes without saying that the various mechanical upgrades were all incorporated with the intention that it should be driven. With all the work it has received, we assume that it will prove to be a reliable and very rewarding machine on the road, and we are only sorry that we are not in a position ourselves to take it on a test run down to the Massif de l’Esterel and the Corniche d’Or. That pleasure will be reserved for the new owner, and if they need any encouragement, the Jaguar Drivers’ Club and the Enthusiasts’ Club offer no shortage of European excursions to enjoy during the season when the skies are blue and the ribbons of road are at their most inviting. Until such a time, of course, it will be just as delightful to use for Sunday lunch outings or British car shows on the village green. It is provided with the current V5C and a history file which makes for interesting reading, containing as it does a D.V.L.A. print-out of past owners, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, and a complete photographic record of the restoration.

1934 Alvis Speed 20 SC Oxborrow and Fuller Continental Tourer

Extremely rare coachwork by Oxborrow and Fuller

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: BYL 926

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11908

H. E. Raphael, the owner of Oxborrow & Fuller, thought very highly of his Continental body, which he had had a hand in designing himself, alongside the professionals at Vanden Plas. Indeed, he adopted a Bentley 3½ Litre Continental Tourer for his personal use in 1935, and the name was not merely fanciful. He actually drove it on a well-publicised Continental tour, accompanied by the Walters sisters, Elsie and Doris, whose comic songs and sketches were then very popular on the radio and the stage. It seems the majority of Oxborrow & Fuller bodies ended up on Bentleys, but three of them are known to have ended up on Alvises, and chassis 11908 is understood to be the only survivor.

This Speed 20 has known history from the 1950s, but its second life began in 1988, when it was reregistered with its original number plate, having been for some years absent from the D.V.L.A.’s records. Intriguingly, its owner at the time was an Alvis Owner Club member, Peter S. Walker of Knightsbridge, a film producer by profession. This was the same Pete Walker who became famous during the 1970s for his string of horror and ‘sexploitation’ films, which had such enticing titles as The Flesh and Blood Show and Die Screaming, Marianne . His début production, ForMenOnly , is possibly the ninth most famous film starring a Silver Birch Aston Martin DB5… Walker was a great Alvis enthusiast, his stable also accommodating a Firebird, a TA14, a TB14 and a TD21 drophead.

The Alvis underwent a comprehensive bodywork restoration in the 1990s by The Motor House in Hungerford, which totalled some £21,000. It appears to have then given good service for 10 or 15 years, until in 2010 the engine was taken out and entrusted to the Jim Stokes Workshops, for a complete overhaul. The workshops were as meticulous as one would expect, and the work was completed in 2014 after around £50,000 of expenditure. Subsequent work included a dynamo overhaul by Earley Engineering in 2017, and the renewal the various ignition parts by D. A. Cooper in 2019. Our vendor purchased the Alvis in 2022, and proceeded to lavish even more care and attention upon it in 2023, treating it to a full service, new tyres, and the refurbishment of the brakes and the magneto, the work was carried out by IK Sport Classic for £4,200. Not surprisingly, after such expenditure, the Speed 20’s owners have been keen to get some good use out of it, and it has

in the past been used as transport to the Goodwood Revival, where it was most at home. After all, it is an easy thing to imagine an R.A.F. officer choosing a Vanden Plas-bodied Alvis for his personal transport, and swapping it for a Spitfire upon arriving for manœuvres at Westhampnett Airfield.

Appearing now in lovely condition all round, with just the right amount of interior patina, our Speed 20 is accompanied by a very thick history file beginning with some R.A.C. correspondence from 1950. There is a multitude of invoices, including many from Red Triangle, which also date back to the ’50s. In addition, there are M.O.T. certificates running back to the 1980s, photographs of the restoration, a dating letter from the Alvis Owner Club for the reallocation of the original registration number, an Alvis Club membership form signed by Pete Walker and, of course, the current V5C.

1963 Jaguar MK X 3.8 Litre

2004 Aston Martin DB7

Vantage Volante

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: EJO 233A MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 306957BW

Launched at the London Motor Show in October 1961, the MK X’s wider track, lower roofline, quadruple headlamps and squat, vaned radiator grille heralded a new image for the marque. It was the first Jaguar Saloon to feature independent rear suspension, while the front had the proven set-up of double wishbones and coil springs. At launch it was powered by a 3.8-litre version of the company’s ubiquitous straight-six, DOHC XK engine. Some 5,763 of which were built before the model was superseded by the XJ6.

According to the accompanying heritage certificate this home market example was supplied new by Henly’s, London, on 13th November 1963. Finished in it’s original colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Blue over Dark Blue leather, it spent a period of time in the car-friendly climate of South Africa before being re-patriated to the United Kingdom in 2019 by the vendor. After being brought back to the UK, close to £5,000 was spent to get the car running and driving and the vendor enjoyed this for a short period before placing it in storage. Now offered as a rewarding project for a new owner with a history file including assorted invoices, service manual and a current V5C issued in 2019. To be sold without reserve.

Reg No: T.B.A MOT: October 2026 Chassis No: SCFAB32373K403880

This DB7 was sold new in May, 2004, through Paramount of Cardiff. Specified in Stronpay Silver with Mendip Blue and Parchment hide upholstery and burr walnut trim, it passed to its second owner in 2009 and in 2017 was purchased by the third and present owner for his private collection. Its equipment includes heated seats and mirrors, an analogue clock, and the Aston Martin Becker audio system with six speakers, cassette player, and six-C.D. autochanger. After P.D.I. and one service by Paramount, the Aston was serviced nineteen times by Stratstone Cardiff up to April, 2016, and 46,386 miles. Most recently, it was serviced in June, 2017, at 48,221 miles by Aston Martin Leeds, then was placed into storage in an air-conditioned garage at 49,220 miles. Since then, it has ventured out twice for an M.O.T., in April, 2024, and October, 2025, both times passing with no advisories. The brakes were overhauled in 2017 with new front and rear discs and pads, and rear shoes. The bonnet insulation was renewed, the cross-braces were powdercoated and the arches received stone-guard; the work totalled around £3,000. The DB7 is offered for sale with history including M.O.T.s back to 2008, assorted invoices, DB7 sales literature, the combined owner’s manual and stamped service book, and AstonMartinDB7:TheCompleteStory by Andrew Noakes.

Chassis No: E1P61930

This rare Velox spent the first three years of its life in Malta, before being reimported and British-registered in 1957. It represents possibly the best E-type Velox on the market, after its comprehensive restoration reached completion at the end of 2025; previously, it had been off the road more than twenty years. It was stripped to the bare-metal, but no welding or replacement panels were required, with the vendor describing the floors and chassis rails as “perfect.” It received a £12,000 paint job in Jaguar Firenze Mica Metallic with a clear lacquer, followed by £5,000 expenditure on replating all the chrome, and £500 on a set of six brand-new radial tyres. Internally, the very good original seats and headlining have been retained, but new carpets and door cards were fitted. A great amount of mechanical work was performed, including a full engine overhaul with new gaskets, hoses and so on. A brand-new wiring loom was installed, which brought a change from positive to negative earth, and the heater was renovated. The brakes were refurbished, the battery and exhaust were replaced and, to finish off, some whitewall wheel trims completed the rock ‘n’ roll-era look. Supplied with the V5C and original workshop manuals and handbooks, all it wants is to be driven, enjoyed and shown.

Reg No: P566 BPJ MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: SCBZE20C5VCH59348

The Bentley Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as a replacement for the Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models. It was intended as a slightly cheaper alternative to the Bentley Turbo R featuring the same styling, underpinnings of the Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre, V8 engine but without the more powerful model’s turbocharger. In the autumn of 1996, Brooklands received an update in a form of light-pressure turbo, boosting power output to 300bhp.

Chassis ‘59348’ was manufactured in 1996 and was supplied via Rolls-Royce main agent Weybridge Automobiles on the 8th November that year. A notably early light-pressure turbo example is finished in the delightful colour of Wildberry Mica paintwork with a complementary Magnolia hide interior upholstery. Purchased into current the ownership for the use of completing a Drivers Club tour of the British Isles, the Brooklands is now offered with just 53,500 miles from new on the odometer. Recently benefiting from significant cosmetic improvements and some £2,600 expenditure with significant attention to brakes and new drive belts by marque specialists Michael Hibberd, the Bentley is supplied with the original owner’s handbook and stamped service book. Further accompanied to sale by a collection of previous MOT certificates, tax discs, and a current V5C document.

32 1971 Maserati Indy 4.2

Believed to be one of around 50 R.H.D. Indy 4.2s manufactured

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: PRG 19 MOT: June 2026

Chassis No: AM116*1028

An extremely rare piece of Italian exotica, this Maserati is one of just 440 4.2-litre Indys built, and an estimated fifty in right-hand drive. It was originally produced in Grigio Newmarket with a Red interior and despatched to Citroën Cars Ltd. on Slough Trading Estate (Citroën had purchased Maserati in 1968), equipped with power steering, seatbelts and a radio-cassette player. Its ownership is known from August, 1977, when it was purchased by 43-year-old Edward R. Robinson from Cris Graham of Stuart Graham Motors in Broomhall, Cheshire. It was then Red with Black bumpers, but was still registered ‘PRG 19’. Robinson had a small amount of welding performed and stainless pipes fabricated, and enjoyed the car until a house move forced its sale to the present family, with the vendor’s father, in 1986. It was not without some remorse that he let the car go, as he recalled, “I’ve had a few cars in my time, but the Indy was one of the best to drive and its looks take some beating.”

The Maserati came into the vendor’s possession in 2003. A bodywork restoration was performed from 2004 to 2005, followed by a repaint in Maserati colour Gringo Nuvolari from 2009 to 2010. The Red leather interior has been kept delightfully original. Mechanically, it appears in excellent order, thanks to an extensive programme of miscellaneous works performed during 2020 and 2021 by McGrath Maserati. Expenditure with McGrath (some £34,000 in 2020 and 2021 alone) included the renovation of the carburettors (including ultrasonic cleaning), and fitment of new front springs and a new clutch slave cylinder. A new brake master cylinder and servo assembly, new front discs, and more were also provided. Retaining its matching chassis, engine and gearbox numbers, it is offered with history including the original owner’s and maintenance manuals, copies of the Maserati order sheets, a Maserati authenticity certificate, a letter from Robinson and several MOTs and invoices, and current V5C.

Chassis No: 5707

This KR200 was first registered in December 1960 to Humming Bird Motorcycles Ltd of St Albans, as confirmed by its accompanying copy buff logbook. Following acquisition by the current vendor, the car became the subject of a meticulous, long-term restoration and sympathetic upgrade to KR201 specification. The rebuild was executed using exclusively original or club-supplied components, reflecting a commitment to authenticity and marque correctness throughout. The tub/chassis has been comprehensively renewed with new tubes and panels, while the remainder of the body retains its original steel construction. Finished in a periodappropriate silver, the presentation is elevated by tasteful electric blue ‘Deluxe’ two-tone flashes and additional alloy trim accents. The interior has been fully retrimmed to original pattern and specification, complemented by a new hood and frame supplied by a respected marque specialist. The engine and gearbox have been professionally rebuilt by a recognised expert, and the car has been assembled using high-quality components and fittings, many in stainless steel for longevity. Most of the electrical system has been renewed and is reported to function correctly. Riding on new wheels and tyres, the vendor advises that the car drives very well; however, as the mechanical components are freshly rebuilt, the running-in process is still being completed, hence a slightly increased oil mixture in the fuel in accordance with best practice. Accompanying documentation includes a copy of the vehicle import record and period folding logbook, together with a selection of invoices for parts and consumables. Today the car is described as “virtually indistinguishable from an original KR201” and presents in near as-new condition - ready for concours display, microcar rallies, or simply to delight wherever it appears.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

A collector-grade R.H.D. example, with just three owners from new and subject to a marque specialist engine restoration in 2022

Estimate: £110,000 - £130,000*

Reg No: VHY 100H MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 11304422012859

Ordinarily, if we were to describe a car not only as being “better than new,” it would have to have received an inordinate quantity of work in order to justify the claim. In the case of this particular 280SL, the bar is not set quite so high (as will be revealed); nevertheless, it has received an inordinate amount of work and is undoubtedly one of the best of its kind.

‘VHY 100H’ was first registered in January, 1970, to Howard Francis Carter, in the affluent Westbury Park area of Bristol. He bought it from Charles Cruickshank Motors Ltd., the Mercedes-Benz dealership on Fairfax Street. Surprisingly, the original sales documents have not been retained (Carter seemed to retain every letter or invoice which came his way), and the Mercedes’ paperwork history does not begin until March, 1970, unfortunately with an apologetic letter from Victor Gossington, Chief Engineer at Mercedes-Benz’s London offices. The 280, it transpired, had developed an engine noise after just 100 miles, caused by a damaged piston, which led to Mercedes offering to fit a complete new cylinder block and internals.

In these early days, Carter was covering around 10,000 miles a year, and was beset by problems. As a matter of historical interest, we might mention that he wrote to Mercedes (G.B.) implying that his car was less reliable than a Morris Marina, and saying he had started paying for the upkeep out of his own pocket because it was too embarrassing to put it on business expenses. We need hardly explain that Carter’s troubles were highly unusual and that 280s enjoy a well-deserved reputation for quality. We will simply add that Carter persevered until everything was satisfactory, and eventually became extremely fond of it; he must have been, for he continued driving it up to 2000, and persisted in having frequent servicing carried out by Cruickshank up to 1980, and thereafter by Parkway Automobile Engineering to the end of his ownership. To illustrate how fastidious he was, we need only cite his six-month letter-writing odyssey with Mercedes-Benz during 1986 in a bid to obtain the correct retaining washers for his hood and hardtop.

In 2000, ownership passed to Carter’s son, who continued to M.O.T. the SL annually, but used it little, and he sold it to our vendor in 2011. At its 2000 M.O.T.,

it had covered 51,913 miles; that rose to just 53,530 at its last test in 2017, and it is now at just over 57,000. The new owner gave the Mercedes a thorough refresh in 2012, commissioning Barham’s Auto Refinishers to respray it (except the under-bonnet area) in its original Signal Red for a cost of £6,800. From 2018, he entrusted it to marque specialist John Haynes for mechanical attention. In 2019, this included the refurbishment of the gearbox and rear axle, and the allround renewal of the brake discs, pads, callipers and hoses, reaching a total of £22,662. This was followed in 2022 by a comprehensive overhaul of the engine, which involved a rebore and new Mahle pistons; new bearings; the renewal of the valves, guides and stem seals and the recutting of the seats; soda-blasting the aluminium parts; recoring the radiator; fitting electronic ignition; overhauling the fuel-injection pump; wiring loom repairs; 500 miles’ running-in and a service. The engine bay and hubcaps were painted, and new original-style loop carpets were installed, bringing the total cost to £37,500. A few months later, a new brake master cylinder and aluminium sill plates were fitted.

With that level of care across its life, it is not difficult to see why we consider this 280SL to be one of the best there is. Believed to retain almost all of its factoryfitted panels, it is also supplied with a prodigious paperwork file containing many invoices and letters from 1970 onwards, the original chassis cards and Mercedes care products brochure, M.O.T.s from 1993 to 2017, the V5C, and the V5 from 2000.

35 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

A highly original, home-market example, ex-David Astor

Estimate: £45,000 - £55,000*

Reg No: FLW 15C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1E 20705

One of the great motoring icons of the last century, Jaguar’s E-Type is a car that has always inspired loyalty and devotion. Born out of the fabulous D-type racer, the newcomer soon acquired a strong competition heritage of its own (as witnessed by Briggs Cunningham and Roy Salvadori’s strong drive to fourth overall in the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hours). Faster and more glamorous than virtually all its production rivals, it put many so-called ‘sports cars’ to shame at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch. Certainly, few could live with its reputed 150mph top speed or the savage acceleration that allowed it to touch 60mph in less than seven seconds. In an age when a decent family saloon could call upon its engine for 65bhp, the E-Type’s 3,781cc, DOHC, straight six claimed an additional 200bhp with the later, 4.2-litre variant boasting more torque. While Ferrari`s lauded 250GT SWB and 250 GTO made do with live rear axles, the E-Type utilised a sophisticated independent rear set-up with inboard rear disc brakes. Rack and pinion steering enabled the driver to make the most of the monocoque chassis’ excellent road holding and handling, putting it light years ahead of American designs like the Corvette.

Updated during August 1964, the E-Type gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the Big Cat’s beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,583 RHD E-Type 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes were made.

FLW 15C was first owned by the famous and influential British newspaper editor, David Astor, editor of The Observer from 1948 to 1975 at the height of its circulation and influence, and a member of the prominent Astor family, “the landlords of New York”. Finished in it’s factory colour combination of Dark Blue bodywork with Red leather interior, it is believed to have never been restored and retains an original Webasto sunroof. Said to be running well, and offered for sale with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate as part of a reassuringly large history file which also contains a Buff Continuation logbook first issued on August 25th 1969, this is a highly original home market example of what is, in the eyes of many enthusiasts, the best E-Type model to own, boasting an interesting provenance and attractive colour scheme.

Twin Cam MGAs were only built in limited numbers, with just 2,111 examples produced, 1,801 of which were Roadsters. Unsurprisingly therefore, good examples are now highly prized.

This beautiful Twin Cam started life as a LHD export model bound for North America. Completed on May 25th, 1959, and despatched on 26th, it was originally finished in Black with a Red interior and Black hood, plus disc wheels, a heater, a windscreen washer, side screens with sliding windows and a black tonneau cover. It was imported back to Britain in 1991. Around 2009, a programme of extensive renovations was commenced by respected MGA specialist Bob West, starting with an engine overhaul, with new bearings, valves and seals. The remainder of its body-off, chassis-up restoration was performed during 2010, which is when the RHD conversion was performed. The meticulous extent of the restoration is evident from the panel gaps, which might very well be flawless. The paint and interior were refurbished in the original colours, and rechroming completed the project in 2013. Invoices on file reveal the cost to have exceeded £20,000, including £8,800 for the engine overhaul. In 2021, ‘807 YUH’ was sold to famed engineer Dick Crosthwaite of Crosthwaite & Gardiner, one of the leading international historic race preparation workshops. He in turn sold it to the present owner in 2024 for some £55,000, since when it has further benefitted from a comprehensive service with new spark plugs and brake pads, the work totalling £1,600, plus a full gearbox overhaul and various other improvements costing within the region of £6,000. It is offered with extensive paperwork including the V5C, assorted invoices, a BMIHT certificate, and an owner’s manual. An inspection by the MGA Register has confirmed the chassis, body and engine are the original items from the date of manufacture. Twin Cams rarely come onto the market, and this is surely one of the best examples there is.

1965 Lotus Elan S2 Drophead Coupe

Current lady ownership since 1969

Estimate: £28,000 - £34,000*

Reg No: FXC 898C MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 26/3986

Although registered in Solihull, our Elan’s history is known from January, 1968, when it belonged to one Keith Farrant of Headley Park, Bristol. In December that year it passed to David P. Stone of Yate, and then in October, 1969, it was bought by the present lady owner, who lived in Palmers Green and used it for daily commuting to B.A.E.’s London office. It was well-used, as it had covered 32,000 by the start of 1970. Up to 1975, servicing was carried out by the owner’s brother, and then by a friend up to 1977.

The Elan remained in occasional use, and in 1985 was treated to a new Spyder chassis by W. & R. Motors, but disaster struck in 1987 when a neighbour’s gable end collapsed onto the Lotus’s garage. It then languished until 1992, when it was taken to Lotus restoration specialist Mick Miller, who returned it to its former glory over the course of five years, also repainting it in the original White (it had previously been repainted Yellow). Ten years after the mishap, it returned to the road, but was out of commission again from 2000 to 2005 while the engine was being overhauled.

Regular maintenance continued until recently, with I. & J. Walker fitting new clutch master and slave cylinders in 2018. In 2023, over £3,000 was spent with Marco Falcini, who replaced the brake master cylinder, fitted all-round new discs and pads, renewed the offside front and nearside rear wheel bearings, and fitted a new stainless exhaust. A similar sum was spent in 2024 when Falcini fitted a refurbished clutch, replaced the engine mounts, performed an ignition service and reinstalled the engine after the head, valves and flywheel had been machined by Gosnay’s Engineering Co. Impressively retaining its original interior, this much-treasured Elan is sold with the green logbook from 1968, the current V5C, M.O.T.s from 1969 onwards, tax discs from 1997 to 2014, an original owner’s manual, and invoices running back to 1985.

1962 Porsche 356 B S-75 Reutter Cabriolet

Matching numbers, UK-supplied ‘barn find’ example

Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: 393 NMG MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 156202

The elegant Cabriolet versions of the Porsche 356 were conceived as refined grand touring machines, combining open-air motoring with impressive structural integrity and comfort. Built on a strong unitised chassis and equipped with a fixed windscreen, the Cabriolet featured a well-appointed interior, trimmed with heavily padded seats and a thick, multi-layer folding hood designed to insulate occupants from wind and road noise. Practicality was not overlooked: the rear jump seats incorporated folding backrests, allowing additional luggage space for extended touring.

Introduced in 1960, the Porsche 356 B marked a significant evolution of the 356 line. The later T6 body style brought a revised nose with a larger, squared front boot lid, relocation of the fuel filler to the top of the right-front wing, and the addition of twin grille panels to the engine lid. Engine options included the ‘Super’, ‘Super 90’, and the rare and technically advanced ‘Carrera’, all of 1,600cc capacity. In ‘Super’ (S) specification, the engine produced 75 horsepower, delivering lively performance for the period. With its 4-speed manual transmission, the 356 B 1600 S was capable of approximately 105mph and 0–62mph in around 13 seconds — impressive figures for an early 1960s sports car. All T6 Cabriolets were coachbuilt by Reutter, Porsche’s long-standing bodywork partner, marrying engineering precision with elegant open-top styling.

The example offered here, a 1962 Porsche 356 B 1600 S Cabriolet, has remained in current ownership for almost four decades. It is believed to have covered just 35,849 miles from new, whilst the V5C records only two former keepers.

Acquired by our vendor in 1988 as a complete but tired car, it was purchased with restoration in mind. Ultimately, however, the project was deferred, and the car has since remained dry-stored and untouched until its recent emergence for photography. Supplied new to the UK via AFN Limited of Middlesex, correspondence with Porsche GB dating from the late 1980s confirms a build date of 1st February 1962, with engine number P 701559 installed at the factory. The original colour scheme was a period-appropriate Heron Grey complemented by a purposeful black interior.

While production figures vary according to source, it is believed that as few as 200 ‘Super’ Cabriolets were delivered to the UK in 1962, underlining the model’s scarcity in right-hand-drive form. Registration number 393 NMG now presents its next custodian with an enticing decision: to undertake a comprehensive, concours-level restoration, or to preserve and recommission the car sympathetically retaining its hard-earned patina, or perhaps to pursue a more individual interpretation.

Believed to be largely complete, prospective purchasers should note that some small components may have been mislaid during its 36-year period in storage. Encouragingly, the car is described by our vendors as “good and reasonably solid” in key structural areas including the hinges, windscreen surround, bulkhead and floor structure, through to the sills. As such, it represents an exciting and eminently viable restoration project — and quite possibly one of the most compelling barn-find opportunities to surface in recent years!

1983 Aston Martin V8 Vantage ‘V580’

1 of just 27 RHD, pre-‘BBS’ facelift examples

Estimate: £160,000 - £190,000*

Reg No: T.B.A. MOT: June 2026

Chassis No: V8/VOR/12354

“Here is a car with the performance and handling of a racing car and the luxurious appointments of a limousine, with none of the accommodation or visibility drawbacks of mid-engined supercars” MotorSport, April 1978.

Like one of those massively built rugby players who can despatch the 100 metre sprint in a smidge over ten seconds, there was something wonderfully incongruous about Aston Martin’s original V8 Vantage. Introduced on February 18th 1977, it remains notable as Great Britain’s first true supercar. Capable of rocketing from 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds and onto 170mph plus, the sumptuously appointed 2+2-seater impressed contemporary road testers by proving more accelerative than a Ferrari BB512i, Lamborghini Countach LP5000 or Porsche 930 Turbo. Mr Hyde to the standard V8’s Dr Jekyll, the Vantage was masterminded by Aston Martin’s Chief Engineer, Mike Loasby (whose CV encompassed previous stints at Alvis, Coventry Climax and British Leyland). Developed on a shoestring budget and with the plenty of ‘hands on’ input from Loasby (including his circuit racing a ‘mule’), the newcomer featured uprated brakes, suspension, steering and tyres. Time spent in the MIRA wind tunnel alongside Robin Hamilton’s Aston Martin V8-based Le Mans 24-hours contender (a.k.a. The Muncher) saw the Vantage emerge with its radiator grille and bonnet air scoop blanked off not to mention a deep front air dam and rear spoiler. Evolving through ‘V540’, ‘V580’ and ‘V580X’ guises, its 5340cc DOHC V8 engine utilised a higher compression ratio, improved induction, freer flowing exhaust, higher lift camshafts, bigger valves and larger 48mm Weber carburettors etc to boost horsepower and torque by forty and ten percent respectively. The earliest ‘V540’ units featured hand-fettled cylinder heads and were thought to produce 375bhp / 379lbft. The ‘V580’ powerplants benefited from improved mid-range response as well as greater outputs 390bhp / 405lbft, while the ‘V580X’ versions were more potent still albeit at the expense of low down ‘grunt’. Taking over 1,200 hours to complete, each Aston Martin V8 Vantage was handbuilt. Prodigiously expensive, a mere 367 Two-Door Saloon versions were sold between 1977 and 1989; the vast majority of which were equipped with ZF five-speed manual transmission.

One of just twenty-seven, right-hand drive, pre-‘BBS’ facelift V580 Saloons to emerge from Newport Pagnell, chassis V8VOR12354 was supplied new to

S.B. Offshore Marine (Edinburgh) Ltd via local concessionaire Victor Wilson Ltd on January 12th 1983. Finished in Green with a similarly hued dashtop and seat piping to complement its Tan leather upholstery, the Aston Martin boasts an unusually detailed history file which not only documents the significant expenditure it has been subject to over the past forty-three years but also includes the original factory warranty, owner’s wallet and service book. Specified with the rare and desirable option of an electric sunroof as well as air-conditioning, the V8 Vantage had its stereo upgraded by main dealer Hyde Vale in 1985 at a cost of £3,311.51 (a sum sufficient to buy an Austin Mini Metro at the time). Marque stalwart H.W.M. were responsible for fitting the sought after Ronal alloy wheels (c.£6,000) and refreshing the paintwork (£8,262.51) six years later with the same firm performing a top-end engine overhaul during 1993 at 68,821 miles. Following its relocation to the West Country, the Aston Martin was looked after by marque specialist Goldsmith & Young who fitted new sills and chassis rails etc in 2000 at 83,943 miles (£8,122.86).

Determined to acquire a V8 Vantage with a factory-fitted electric sunroof, the vendor had to look very long and hard before acquiring chassis 12354 in 2024. Having covered a mere 12,000 miles during the twenty-seven years that it belonged to his immediate predecessors (a father and son), the Aston Martin was promptly despatched to marque specialist Oselli for a thorough going over. The associated bills total more than £38,000 and encompass a full service plus attention to the brakes, suspension, exhaust, cooling system, carpets, air-conditioning, alternator, central locking, dash bulbs and clutch etc. The result is car which the seller considers to be ‘very much on the button and ready to go’. He also deems it to feel as rapid as the various ‘X-Pack’ V8 Vantages he has previously stabled. Not long returned from a full, ‘glass out’ respray in Balmoral Green metallic (with new rubber seals and windscreen fittings sourced from RS Williams) which cost a further £14,000, this highly presentable and ‘matching numbers’ V8 Vantage is worthy of close inspection. Only coming to market to help fund the refurbishment of an overseas property, chassis 12354 is warranted to have covered 93,000 miles from new with the aforementioned history file serendipitously showing that Oselli proprietor David Eales signed the car’s second service stamp for his then employer, Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd, on July 8th 1983 at 4,535 miles.

40 1947 Jaguar 3.5 Litre MK IV Saloon

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: OAS 724 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 610837

This desirable 3½-litre, right-hand drive saloon was supplied on 17th February, 1947, by official Jaguar dealer, Henlys of London, to a Mr E. Paxman. Originally finished in Birch Grey. Mr Paxman subsequently exported his beloved Jaguar to the US state of Kentucky where it resided until being repatriated to the UK in August of 2002. The Jaguar is accompanied by its Heritage Certificate confirming matching chassis and engine numbers.

With previous ownership for some 16 years (until September 2021), it has enjoyed regular maintenance, care and dry storage. In early 2021 ‘OAS 724’ was subject to a bare-metal repaint costing some £5,000 and is now elegantly presented in gleaming Black over Jaguar Maroon with a Bordeaux Red leather interior. Subject in current ownership to c.£30,000 of expenditure with CMC of Bridgnorth, with photographs from CMC on file. The works included fitting the correct exhaust system; tidying of electrics, engine fettling and cleaning; a carburettor service and set-up and balance; the fitting of E10 compatible components relating to the carburettors and fuel-related gaskets; fit a sediment trap system; flush and refill coolant system; replace all hose clamps; refurbish and adjust the steering box; re-tension the suspension springs. Additional work included a professionally fitted 5-speed gearbox conversion making ‘OAS 724’ more suited to modern traffic and road conditions, with the original factory gearbox and propshaft included in the sale.

Accompanied by its Heritage Certificate, the V5C, there is also a history file containing an assortment of documents, a collection of old MOT paperwork, invoices and the original gearbox, should a new owner wish to return it to standard. In our opinion, this could be one of the nicest MkIVs we have seen, and we highly recommend any interested parties view ‘OAS 724’ to satisfy themselves as to its quality.

1965 Ford Mustang V8 302

Expertly restored and uprated with an overhauled Kenny Coleman 302ci V8 engine

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: FAW 351C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 5R07A138851

This smart ’65 Coupe, finished in Ford Poppy Red, started life practically at the top of the Mustang tree. As an A-code car, it came with the 289ci V8 and 4bbl. carburettor, which produced 225bhp and was the top performance engine, except for the rare K-code. It came to Britain in 2013 from a salvage yard as “an original Southern California rust-free car.” It had had just one owner, who converted it for mild competition use after retiring it from family duties. Because it had a holed cylinder block and an unhealthy-sounding axle, the importer decided to completely renovate it for modern touring. After the body was media-blasted, new floors were fitted because assorted bolt holes and roll-cage paraphernalia littered the originals, and the rear valance had to be replaced following shipping damage. The interior was retrimmed to standard, but with the attractive Shelby GT350 steering wheel. The suspension was renewed with new bushes, front arms, steering arms and rear shackles. A Ford 9in. rear axle was built by Hauser Racing with a Truetrac differential. The rear brakes received new cylinders and shoes, while the front brakes were converted to 320mm discs and four-pot callipers. A 302ci engine was sourced and the oil, water and fuel pumps were renewed. The head was ported and flowed, all engine machining being done by drag-racing engine builder Kenny Coleman. The gearbox is now a five-speed T5 with a new hydraulic clutch. A new fuel tank was made, the battery was relocated to the boot, and Hooker headers lead to a stainless exhaust. MSD electronic ignition and a DAB-Bluetooth stereo also feature. Upon completion, the Mustang was sold in 2014 and has remained with the same registered ownership, the Mustang receiving use as its build intended. Taken to the Hainan Open International regularity rally in China 2024, the Mustang placed fourth overall. A beautifully presented and highly capable muscle-car, it is supplied with the V5C, an owner’s manual, and assorted invoices and MOTs.

1964 Rover P4 95

No Reserve*

Reg No: AFP 626B MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 76003240B

The very epitome of the mid-century, middle-class British Saloon, this end-ofproduction Rover 95 is beautifully presented in its original colour scheme of Stone Grey over Burgundy, while the interior is original and exceptionally wellpreserved with a very attractive light patina. What is possibly most remarkable is the fact that this car has had just four keepers in its 62-year life, and has seemingly never resided outside of the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire areas. Registered in Rutland and previously owned by a Mr. Spiller of Sutton Bridge, it has been in the present registered ownership since 1980. Moreover, the low mileage reading of 79,600 is shown by paperwork to be genuine.

As may be expected from such a low-ownership car, it has survived with much history intact, including the original service book. The fact that the 1,500-mile service was performed in October, 1964, by Victor Wood of Oakham Ltd. would suggest that Wood was the original dealer. It was subsequently serviced annually up to 1971, using a number of garages in Rutland and, finally, in Boston. The Rover is also supplied with its original owner’s manual, dealership directory, and factory car tag, plus a workshop manual, assorted M.O.T.s from 1982 (71,142 miles) to 2018 (79,244 miles) and, of course, the V5C.

Reg No: S600 MBX MOT: January 2027 Chassis No: WDD2211762A70393

S-Class, the designation for top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz models, was officially introduced in 1972 with the W116, remaining in use ever since. The S-Class models are flagship offerings for Mercedes-Benz, being positioned above their other products. The 5th generation S-Class (W221) was introduced in the autumn of 2005 at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. The W221 was slightly larger than its W220 predecessor, and featured three newly developed engines with up to 26% power increase. Perhaps unsurprisingly, due to its exclusivity, upscale department store Saks Fifth Avenue offered 20 special-edition S600 saloons for sale in its 2005 Christmas catalogue with all 20 cars, priced at US$145,000 each, being sold in under seven minutes. Beautifully presented in Mercedes Andradite Green Metallic with Exclusive Sahara Beige leather trim, S600 MBX is very well equipped with an impressive compliment of optional extras including panoramic glass sunroof, high-spec entertainment centre, reversing camera etc. Thought to have been previously in long term company and family ownership, the accompanying history file includes the original purchase invoice for £108,490, service invoices, old MOTs, book pack and spare keys. Reported to be in very good condition throughout, it represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the respected ‘flagship’ Mercedes models and comes with its cherished registration and current MOT to January 2027.

1959 Triumph TR3A

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: XOL 957 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: TS386310

A very desirable matching-numbers, home-market example with factory-fitted overdrive, as far as can be discerned this Chariot Red 1959 TR3A has had just four owners from new. It is thought that it was originally intended to be despatched to Rhodesia, but for some reason it never left Britain. Consequently, it found an enthusiastic owner in one Mr R. H. Adams, who kept the TR until 1979 when, with 15,600 miles on the clock, it was sold to N. Twilton. He in turn kept it until 2015, when the odometer showed just 21,400 miles. The next owner retained it until 2019, when it entered the current registered owner’s hands, and the mileage reading remains under 30,000. The benefit of a self-evident previous restoration at some point in its life, in the present ownership, the Triumph has received further improvement, including a carburettor overhaul in 2020 and fitment of a new fan belt and oil filter in 2023.

The Triumph boasts an impressive history file, with the V5C, MOTs traceable back to 1970, Standard-Triumph chassis records, assorted invoices, ownership records and evidence of show attendance. Usefully, it is also supplied with a full set of weather equipment, comprised of the hood, side screens, and full and half tonneau covers, so you really can enjoy it in all weathers!

1928 Riley Nine Monaco

No Reserve*

45

Reg No: BF 4028 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 601582

Launched at the Olympia Motor Show in October 1926, the Riley 9 Monaco was a benchmark ‘Light Car’ design. With its advanced ‘twin-cam’ OHV 1087cc four-cylinder powerplant, low centre of gravity and fabric saloon coachwork, the newcomer went, stopped and steered better than many, larger engined machines. Closer in performance to a Bentley than a Bullnose, the Monaco proved unsurprisingly popular among sporting motorists.

A marque enthusiast since acquiring his first Riley in 1954, retired engineer C. Rowe enlisted the help of S. Bruton when embarking upon the restoration of chassis 601582 some forty-nine years later. An accompanying, multi-page handwritten log details nearly £16,000 worth of expenditure on parts and outsourced services. However, it makes no allowance for the pair’s labour nor the cost of sourcing the fabric-covered body from a Cumbrian enthusiast etc. Still being worked on after it was re-registered with the DVLA as ‘BF 4028’ on July 21st 2006, the Nine was little used after Mr Rowe’s passing. Recently got going following a period of dry storage, the Monaco has self-evidently had considerable attention paid to its brakes, suspension and drivetrain. Treated to an unleaded cylinder head conversion by K. Pointing, this appealing Vintage saloon is offered for sale with old-style V5C Registration Document and numerous bills / invoices.

Chassis No: SCBLC37F14CH09918

Attractively specified in Silver metallic with Parchment hide upholstery and burr walnut trim, this five former keeper Arnage R was sold new through Bentley Glasgow. Original fittings included heated door mirrors and rear window; a fully adjustable steering column; heated, four-way memory seats; the Bentley audio system with ten speakers and a C.D. interchanger; a Nokia ’phone system; and navy lambswool overrugs. The Arnage’s first fourteen services were by Bentley main dealers, taking it up to November, 2017, and 30,689 miles. Subsequently, it was serviced by independent garages at 31,567 miles in November, 2019, and at 32,010 miles in June, 2022. Considering its present mileage is around 33,500 miles, it will be appreciated that it is a very well-kept machine. The current owner (since 2017) has been particularly attentive. In 2018, the Bentley received regassed rear springs from Flying Spares, and in 2019 £2,000 worth of work was carried out fitting new front brake discs and pads and replacing the gearbox seal. Since 2021, it has been M.O.T.’d annually with no advisories. The present test is valid until October, 2026. An outstanding example of its kind, this Arnage is supplied with its book pack containing the owner’s handbook, service handbook, warranty slip, dealer network book, and quick reference guide, plus history including service invoices, old tax discs, and M.O.T.s back to 2006.

Reg No: KVW 147Y MOT: Exempt Chassis No: ZAR11637003017518

A true ‘timewarp’, this exceptional example has been in single family ownership and covered a mere 48,000 miles from new. Purchased by the late A. Richardson Esq from Bridge Motors of Braintree, they carried out the Pre-Delivery Inspection check at 531 miles with further services following at 3,101, 8,527, 20,736, 32,223, 37,416 and 43,517 miles. Although company registered at different times, the Alfa was Mr Richardson’s ‘pride and joy’ and he its only driver. Kept garaged throughout its life, the Coupe remains in remarkably original condition. The periodperfect interior features a wood-rimmed steering wheel, wooden gearknob, Black cloth-faced seats, fishnet headrests and rectangular instrument surrounds. Touch points such as the pedal rubbers and seat belts corroborate the low mileage. The fifteen-inch alloy wheels are shod with Goodyear tyres, while the engine bay still shows plentiful traces of the anti-corrosion treatment that the car received some forty-three years ago. The website howmanyleft.co.uk suggests that there are only forty-seven 1983 GTV 2.0s currently known to the DVLA. We doubt that any are better than ‘KVW 147Y’. Worthy of close inspection, this exquisite Alfa is offered for sale with owner’s manual, service book and anti-corrosion book. Go find another!

Reg No: UKF 758V MOT: Exempt Chassis No: FH134239

Introduced in 1974, the final Triumph Spitfire variant – the 1500 – was powered by a 1493cc OHV four-cylinder engine which was notably torquier than its predecessors (71bhp / 82lbft). Weighing a modest 815kg, the two-seater proved a responsive drive thanks to its all-round independent suspension, disc/ drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Visually indistinguishable from its MkIV forebear save for some minor trim differences, the Spitfire 1500 was a handsome machine. A decent seller on both sides of the Atlantic, the model boasted 100mph performance and the model remained in production until August 1980.

First registered in Liverpool on December 12th 1979 (or so its ‘UKF 758V’ number plate would imply), chassis FH134239 joined the William Hunt collection some nine years ago. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Triumph’s Old English White paintwork is complemented by Black upholstery with Black and White houndstooth pattern inserts. Currently running and driving, the Spitfire would doubtless benefit from recommissioning prior to any proper usage. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and assorted minor spares.

Reg No: FGP 151J MOT: Exempt Chassis No: FD90508

A riposte to the diminutive BMC Spridget duo, the Triumph Spitfire was launched in 1962. Based around a truncated Herald chassis, it was equipped with all-round independent suspension (double wishbone front / swing-axle rear), disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Styled by Michelotti, its wonderfully sleek twodoor roadster bodyshell featured a clam-shell bonnet and decent boot. Evolved through five guises over the course of its eighteen-year production run, the MK3 variant arrived in January 1967. Fitted with an enlarged 1296cc OHV four-cylinder engine, it proved the fastest Spitfire yet. Visually distinguished by its front grillebisecting bumper (a sop to US safety legislation), the newcomer also sported a wooden instrument panel and one-piece convertible hood. First registered in London on November 22nd 1970 (or so its ‘FGP 151J’ number plate would imply), chassis FD90508 joined the William Hunt collection six years ago. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work which is thought to have been completed in 2017, the Triumph rides on steel wheels shod with hubcaps and carries cream-faced instruments to its dashboard. Currently running and driving, this sought after MK3 Spitfire would doubtless benefit from recommissioning / checking over. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

50 1969 Porsche 356 Speedster Evocation

Entered from the William Hunt of Savile Row Collection

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: EFZ 727 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1103055020

Given the model’s exalted status, it is ironic that the Speedster was originally intended to be the least expensive way into soft-top 356 ownership. A direct response to importer Max Hoffman’s request for a Zuffenhausen convertible that could be retailed for under $3,000, the pared back two-seater debuted in September 1954. Taking inspiration from the earlier, ultra-exclusive Glaser-built America Roadster - the two even shared the same Type Number (540)the Speedster was productionised by Reutter. Utilising the same bodyshell as the existing Cabriolet, the newcomer did without a lined hood or wind-up windows. Thinly padded bucket seats helped compensate for the 3.5-inch shorter windscreen. The much vaunted purchase price of $2,995 POE (Port of Entry) New York included a speedometer and temperature gauge but not a tachometer or heater. Powered by 1500cc and later 1600cc air-cooled, flat fours, the Speedster remained part of the revamped Porsche 356A range and achieved some 4,243 sales. A true style icon, it has inspired a number of replicas / evocations on both sides of The Atlantic.

Utilising a Volkswagen Beetle donor, the identity of which still appears on its V5C Registration Document, this striking Porsche 356 Speedster Evocation is thought to have been completed during 2007. Finished in Silver Metallic with Red leather upholstery, the 2+2-seater is powered by what looks to be a ‘crate’ motor (and thus lacks a distinct engine number). Re-registered as ‘EFZ 727’ since joining the William Hunt collection in 2016, the Speedster has been stabled alongside a wide variety of Porsche 911s. Nicely detailed with the earlier ‘beehive’ style rear lights and authentic instruments, it is currently running and driving but would doubtless benefit from recommissioning / going through prior to sustained usage. Offered for sale with sundry paperwork and soft-top.

Reg No: CMU 927 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: EX54HB02648

An offshoot of Carrozzeria Ghia, OSI (Officine Stampaggi Industriali) was founded in 1960. Initially tasked with supplying bodies for the Ghia-styled Innocenti 950 Spider and Fiat 2300S Coupe, OSI subsequently built various prototypes not to mention the Giovanni Michelotti-penned Ford Anglia Torino. Debuting at the 1963 Turn Salon, the latter’ success doubtless helped convince the Blue Oval to collaborate on the OSI Ford 20M TS. Styled by Sergio Sartorelli, the handsome newcomer shared its wheelbase, inner monocoque structure and running gear with the Ford Taunus 20M. Introduced at the 1966 Geneva Salon, the OSI Ford 20M TS was powered by a 2-litre V6 engine allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, later variants carried an enlarged 2.3-litre unit). A marriage of Italian brio and European Ford dependability, the Coupe was priced in line with more exotic machinery. Exact production figures are unknown but is thought that some 2,200 were made.

Imported to the UK during 1979, chassis EX54HB02648 is understood to have been treated to a re-trimmed interior, fresh clutch, front suspension / brake overhaul, new stainless steel exhaust and £5,000 bodywork restoration by Marquis Cars plus the fitment of a Burton Power reconditioned 2.8 litre V6 engine not long before appearing in the November 2002 issue of Classic & Sportscar magazine. Acquired by its previous keeper the following year, the OSI accompanied him to Japan and then Italy prior to returning to these shores in 2014. Joining William Hunt’s collection that same year, the 20M TS has been kept garaged and sparingly used. Finished in Gunmetal Grey Metallic with Red leather upholstery, the four-seater is currently running and driving but would doubtless benefit from recommissioning / checking over. Prompting conversation wherever it goes, this handsome ItalianGermanic hybrid is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

1968 Fiat Dino Spider 2000

Reg No: WPA 69F MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 135AS0000693

The de facto boss of FIAT, Giovanni ‘Gianni’ Agnelli took delivery of his first Ferrari – a 166MM – in 1948. Responsible for FIAT taking a five percent stake in Ferrari S.p.A during 1965, that year also saw him greenlight a joint engine project. Put on notice by the FIA that entrants for the 1967 Formula 2 season could only use powerplants of which at least 500 related examples had been made, Ferrari called upon FIAT’s superior volume production capacity and expertise. Inspired by the 1.5 litre V6 that Enzo Ferrari’s son ‘Dino’ had conceived with the help of Vittorio Jano a decade earlier, the resultant engine was the brainchild of Maranello engineer Franco Rocchi. An all-alloy ‘quad cam’ design with a distinctive 65-degree Vee angle, it displaced 1987cc and 1593cc in road and race guises respectively. Used to power a new flagship Fiat sportscar, the Dino Spider 2000, it also propelled Ferrari’s first mid-engined road car, the Dino 206 GT. Both models were styled by Pininfarina and debuted at the November 1966 Turin Salon. Based around a monocoque chassis equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle, five-speed manual gearbox, limited slip differential and four-wheel disc brakes, the Fiat Dino Spider 2000 was some two and a half times as expensive as its Fiat 124 Spider sibling. Praised by the contemporary press for its smoothness and free revving nature, the soft-top’s Ferrari ‘heart’ was quoted as developing 160bhp @ 7,200rpm and 127lbft @ 6,200rpm; outputs sufficient for 0-60mph in 8.1 seconds and 127mph. Prohibitively expensive compared to most of FIAT’s offerings, a mere 1,133 Dino Spider 2000s were built from 1966-1968.

Dating from 1967 and supplied new to Europe, chassis 135AS0000693 arrived on these shores some twenty-nine years later. Part of the William Hunt collection since 2015, the Dino Spider is understood to have been treated to much engine work upon purchase. Little used over the past eleven years, the FIAT is currently running and driving but would doubtless benefit from recommissioning / checking over prior to undertaking a proper journey. Finished in Navy Blue with Cream leather upholstery, ‘WPA 69F’ presents as an older restoration. Riding on Cromodora alloy wheels and sporting a wood-rimmed steering wheel and wood veneer dashboard, it looks every inch the 1960s sportscar. Rare and pretty in equal measure, this desirable Fiat Dino Spider 2000 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

2013 Bentley Mulsanne

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

Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000*

Reg No: DA63 XGO MOT: May 2026

Chassis No: SCBBA63Y1EC018879

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

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

As is to be expected, ‘DA63 XGO’ was constructed to an extremely high specification, with original equipment including four-wheel air suspension, burr walnut interior trim, a rear-view parking camera, power windows, cruise control, power-adjustable lumbar support in the front and outer rear seats, a leather multifunction steering wheel, a built-in navigation system, 21in alloy wheels, a powerclosing boot lid, digital radio and television reception, and a heat-insulating windscreen. It remains in its beautiful original colours of Dark Sapphire with a Magnolia leather interior.

The Bentley has been comprehensively maintained both during and after its Royal service, as evidenced by the nine service stamps, all from Bentley agents or marque specialists. Following the initial pre-delivery inspection by the Press and Special Vehicles Dept. on December 10th, 2013, ‘DA63 XGO’ was subsequently serviced by Bentley Manchester (undated); Jack Barclay (February, 2015, at 4,013 miles); the Press and Special Vehicles Dept. (January, 2016, at 7,871 miles); Bentley Manchester (July, 2017, at 11,018 miles, July, 2018, at 18,482 miles and August, 2019, at 27,202 miles); JCT600 (February, 2022, at 31,018 miles); and John Holland (May, 2023, at 33,281 miles).

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

1991 Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth

Estimate: £25,000 - £30,000*

Reg No: H4 TJC MOT: February 2027

Chassis No: WF0FXXGBBFLJ21238

The sight of rival manufacturers reaping the rewards of successful circuit racing programmes prompted Ford to renew its alliance with engine builder Cosworth to create the eponymous Sierra RS Cosworth. Assembly of the minimum 5,000 required for Group A homologation commenced in June, 1986, at Ford’s Genk plant in Belgium, some being built to the even more highly-tuned RS500 specification. Based on the three-door bodyshell, the RS combined the 1,993cc Pinto engine’s block with forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods. Topping it off was a Cosworth-developed, twincamshaft, 16-valve cylinder head fed by a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger, the latter deemed necessary to achieve a competitive power output for racing. In 1987 the three-door hatchback ceased production being replaced by the more aerodynamic Sapphire RS Cosworth four-door saloon, still with turbocharged YBB engine. Said to be capable of 146mph, 13,140 were built in rear-wheel drive guise during 1988 and 1989, followed by 12,250 four-wheel drive versions during 1990-92. First registered in February 1991 and finished in Moonstone Blue with black leather this Sapphire is reported to be in very good condition throughout. The car has spent some time in storage in recent years and though in good running order, the vendor advises a check over and service prior to use. The accompanying history file includes a service book, continuation book (totalling 21 stamps,) numerous invoices and old MOTs which support the indicated mileage of c.122,000, spare keys, radio pack with code card, original extra seat bolster etc. A notebook details some additional maintenance over the years including wax oil treatment and a new clutch and flywheel in 2019. Said to be totally unmodified, with an advisory-free MOT to February 2027, H4 TJC represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a very tidy, and most importantly, unmolested example of one of the ‘fast Fords’ that made such an impact on the motorsport world of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

c.1927 “Pegs” Gwynne-Sunbeam Supercharged Special

Possibly the most accomplished amateur-built special of the 1930s

No Reserve*

Reg No: AMD 983 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 001

Designed circa1930 and built over three years by two enthusiasts in a lock-up in Acton, Pegs was a hit when it appeared, being pictured in The Motor and The Light Car & Cyclecar . The former noted: “It [used] parts from 35 cars… The engine was a [14hp] Gwynne, but it was fitted with special high-compression pistons, and the cylinder head equipped with Talbot valve gear… The frame is oak and ash covered with ply and grey fabric.” The chassis is understood to be a c.1927 Gwynne 14/40; if so, it is a unique survivor. The wheelbase and track dimensions differ marginally, but that may reflect its creators’ modifications. Chrome Zeiss lamps were fitted, in addition to shining bumpers, Ace-style wheel discs and much more. One of the builders was Leslie Venus, who named the car Pegs after his fiancée . He made further revisions during the 1930s, one of which was installing a supercharged 16.9hp Sunbeam six for extra speed. It also received an Alvis four-speed gearbox. Venus sold it circa1949 and it changed hands several times. Renovation during 1969 and 1970 included the recovering of the interior and fabric panels, ahead of its sale in 1971. It was bought by collector Norman Ball and resurfaced in the 1980s in Ball’s Isle of Wight motor museum. With Nigel Venus, Leslie’s son, Pegs was briefly revived and driven, until Ball’s collection was sold in 1991. Changing hands most recently in 1997, it received a full engine overhaul in 1998, but has spent the majority of the last 30 years in storage. Pegsnow awaits its turn to be recommissioned and enjoyed, or—even better—restored to its 1930s glory. It is sold with history including a 1949 buff logbook, a green logbook, the previous V5 and current V5C, the copies of The Motor and The Light Car & Cyclecar in which it was photographed new, invoices from 1969-70, and correspondence from Nigel Venus et al

1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III

Supplied new to film maker and studio owner Kenneth Shipman Esq

Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: CLU 232B MOT: Exempt Chassis No: SFU 269

Final evolution of the Rolls-Royce Cloud Series, the Cloud III was launched in late 1962. Still sporting a silhouette made famous by its predecessors, it was distinguished by quad front headlamps and a lower bonnet line. Corresponding sleeker front wings sported indicator units frenched into their leading edges, while the imposing front and rear chrome bumpers wore more modest overriders. Internally, the driver and front seat passenger gained separate chairs. Those in the rear benefited too, courtesy of a more upright back to their bench seat and narrower side bolsters. Mechanically, the independent coil and wishbone front suspension and hypoid bevel rear axle were retained along with all round drum brakes, power assisted steering and four-speed automatic transmission. Though, to capitalise on the new model’s smaller frontal area, the 6230cc V8 engine gained more power via a carburettor modification and higher compression ratio. Thus, the Cloud III claimed both a higher top speed and better acceleration than its predecessor at 116mph and 0-60mph in 10.8 seconds respectively. Total production in both right and left-hand drive amounted to just 2,044 Standard Steel Saloons.

The first custodian of chassis SFU269, Kenneth Wilfred Shipman Esq, was a pillar of the British Film Industry. A producer and director, he co-founded several related companies and owned Alliance Film Studios Ltd which encompassed Riverside, Southall and Twickenham. The latter rose to prominence in 1959 with the arrival of Guido Coen and the making of ‘The Challenge’ starring Jayne Mansfield. The following decade saw Twickenham used to shoot ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning’, ‘Repulsion’, ‘Alfie’ and ‘The Italian Job’. Host to numerous parties for the glitterati, it was also where The Beatles filmed ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, ‘Help’ and ‘Hey Jude’. Able to call the likes of Marlon Brando, Dudley Moore and Gregory Peck personal friends, Mr Shipman was no stranger to celebrity which is doubtless why he had the Rolls-Royce trimmed to special order with more camera flash friendly leather supplanting the highly polished (and reflective) wood veneers which would otherwise have adorned its dashboard, door cappings and picnic tables etc. Interestingly, his decision had been presaged on numerous of the personal cars run by the British Royal Family. First registered as ‘CLU 232B’ on February 17th 1964, the Silver Cloud III was a familiar sight at Twickenham during the height

of Beatlemania and, who knows, may well have hosted one or all of the Fab Four on occasion.

Belonging to Lincolnshire quarry proprietor J.W. Hurdiss Esq and H.R. Barnett Esq of Portman Square W1 as the 1960s progressed, the luxury saloon was later acquired by businessman Philip Carter Esq whose commercial success and fandom saw him appointed Honorary Vice President of Chelsea Football Club. Purchased from Mr Carter’s estate by the owner of Sunningdale Motors in Ascot, the RollsRoyce remained in his care for a decade. Reportedly treated to some £80,000 worth of restoration during 2019, work is understood to have encompassed a bare metal respray, full interior retrim and much mechanical fettling. Sold on in 2020, the Silver Cloud III renewed its acquaintance with the film world two years later by featuring prominently in ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’ alongside Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek.

Forming part of the vendor’s predominantly Ferrari-themed collection since July 2022, the luxury saloon has lent a real sense of occasion to various social outings and also graced the frontage of his eateries. Believed but not warranted to have covered a mere 48,000 miles from new, ‘CLU 232B’ has just been serviced in preparation for the auction and is said to be running ‘very nicely’; a special car with a reputedly unique interior specification (including the thermometer ordered in place of a cigar lighter), notable history and significant past expenditure. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, RREC copy build records, restoration invoices, handbook and assorted paperwork.

1956 Land Rover Series I 86in

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000*

Reg No: PSL 772 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 170601128

This is where ‘The Best 4x4 by Far’ started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm which drew inspiration from the wartime Jeep. Thanks to its ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the resultant 4x4 possessed incredible climbing capabilities in all conditions (including battlefields).

Boasting a roomier cabin than its 80in predecessor, many consider the short-lived 86in (1954-1956) to be the best of the Series I Land Rovers.

Originally built under a Ministry of Supply contract for the British Army, this example was not a civilian vehicle to begin with and still has its original military data plate and War Department acceptance markings. Issued with the military census number RGC 528, it remained in active service into the mid-1950s before being released for civilian use and registered as PSL 772.This Series 1 underwent a comprehensive mechanical rebuild sometime in the mid to late nineties, with photographic records documenting some of the work carried out. Recently it was subject to a mechanical overhaul and service at Bridge Classic Cars which included; full engine service, battery, brake master cylinder, front and rear wheel cylinders, new brake shoes all round, new fuel pump, refurbished bonnet mounted spare wheel, new windscreen wipers, voltage regulator, coolant flush and refill and replacement of door aperture seals. Offered with photographic records, service history and current V5C.

1995 Jaguar XJS 4.0 Celebration Convertible

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: N684 PJO MOT: May 2026 Chassis No: SAJJNAFD3EJ224018

This desirable XJS Celebration model has been wonderfully well preserved over its thirty years, with just five keepers from new and a warranted mileage of 82,000. Having been supplied new through Merritts Jaguar of Amersham, it has always been beautifully maintained while on the road, being serviced annually by Merritts up to 2006, when it had covered 73,393 miles. The second owner kept it from 1998 to 2020, but it was taken off the road in 2008 at around 79,800 miles, and apart from a wake-up in 2015, it remained in hibernation until 2020, when it was recommissioned for the new owner, with a service by Chiltern of Bovingdon Ltd.

Besides the service, Bovingdon’s work included replacing or refurbishing the front brake callipers, replacing the offside front wheel bearing, and renewing suspension bushes where necessary, and applying fresh underseal. In 2021, the Jag received a new ABS sensor, plus a new radiator for £600 from Norman Motors; in 2023, it underwent £1,500 of work including three-stage paint correction, ceramic coating, wheel and glass refurbishment, and an interior valet. Most recently serviced in 2025 by an independent garage at 81,054 miles, this superb XJS is supplied with the complete book pack (including driver’s handbook, care guide and stamped service book), assorted invoices and previous M.O.T.s, plus a current M.O.T. until May.

Reg No: PB02 TEC MOT: September 2026 Chassis No: SCFAB12342K303058

This outstanding DB7 V12 Vantage with the five-speed automatic has had only three owners from new and has been cosseted in the present ownership, which commenced in 2009 (the V5C shows three keepers since 2009 because the vendor transferred it between businesses). He purchased the car just after it had been treated to a replacement engine by the Aston Martin works, and in the seventeen years which have followed he has covered only 11,000 miles, bringing the DB7’s total mileage to 38,000 miles. While using it sparingly, the vendor has greatly enjoyed his time behind the wheel, recalling as a highlight a trip to Le Mans, when he took the car round the Circuit de la Sarthe, and it is only with some reluctance that he has decided to part with it to enable the purchase of an older classic. Throughout its life, the Aston has benefited from regular servicing, all of which is documented, along with the paperwork from the engine swap. It has a most impressive M.O.T. record, with the present certificate showing no advisories and valid until September. The vendor describes the interior as “very good,” but considers every other aspect of the car “excellent.”

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: XYL 795 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 320816

One of the more successful designs of the micro-car era was the BMW Isetta. By 1959 they were powered by a 297cc engine that was reckoned capable of 65mph and 55mpg. Approximately 162,000 Isettas had been made by the time production ceased in 1962. The most memorable aspect of the design was that both the steering wheel and dashboard were attached to and moved with the opening fridge-like door to facilitate entry. From 1957, the two-seater Isetta incorporated sliding side windows for improved ventilation.

This ‘big’ Isetta 300 is finished in an attractive colour combination of white over blue evoking the 1960’s and is understood to have been fully reconditioned around 1984. In current ownership since 2023 with an HPI report showing only 1 former keeper, it appears to be in good order overall on top, underneath and inside the cabin. It is believed to have covered minimal mileage in the last few years due to the vendor enjoying other vehicles in his collection. The vendor has applied for a new V5C due to misplacing it and no further paperwork is expected with this lot.

1961 Jaguar Mk. II to ‘Fast-Road’ Specification

No Reserve*

Reg No: 8282 UR MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 107311DN

61

This Mk. II is an impressive machine in so many respects. For one, it retains its full ownership history, and for another, it has been subtly renovated to a racy “fast road” specification, but what is perhaps most remarkable is that it has more or less spent its whole life in Hertfordshire. Originally a 2.4 and painted Grey, our Jaguar was first registered ‘ATB 4’ in April, 1961, to the Watton Poultry Co. Ltd. of Watton-at-Stone. In February, 1962, it passed briefly to Arthur Bacon of Sacombe Green, but re-entered company service in May with Leroi, Flesch & Co. Ltd., an insurance broker at 164, Tottenham Court Road. The new owner from September, 1964, was George Holt of Bengeo, and in 1968 it went to Ernest Skipp of Cottered. The change to Red and the reregistration to ‘8282 UR’ both occurred in period, the latter probably when the Jaguar was discharged from Watton Poultry.

It appears Skipp stopped taxing the car in 1980. The previous owner purchased it in 2013 and subjected it to a comprehensive programme of renovations which saw it fitted with a 3.4-litre tuned by VSE Engineering to its high-performance VS02 specification, with a KE transmission. The VS02 conversion included a lightened flywheel, stronger big-end bolts, heavy-duty bearings, ported and polished inlet ports, reworked exhaust ports, special valve guides, heavy-duty valve springs, an unleaded conversion, and camshafts modified to meet the owner’s specific requirements. In addition to the engine work, £12,500 was spent with Flying Cat Coachworks on the bodywork during 2014, and expenditure for new parts with Martin Robey exceed £3763 and included an “Extra Cool” radiator.

The Mk. II was greatly enjoyed by the late owner since acquiring it in 2019, and MOTs issued between 2018 and 2024 testify to it being meticulously maintained. It is offered with much paperwork including the most recent V5C; the buff logbook, service voucher book, and operating and maintenance manual; many invoices; several MOT certificates; and a workshop manual.

1962 Lotus Elite Series 2

Estimate: £35,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: 22 DYW MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 1621

Unveiled at the 1957 London Motor Show, the Elite (Type 14) was not only Colin Chapman’s first production road car but also the world’s first fibreglass monocoque (a contributory factor to its reputed 1,508lb. kerb weight). Perhaps influenced by the FIA’s recently introduced 1,300cc GT racing class, the newcomer’s specification included Formula Two-derived all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (inboard at the rear). Powered by a Coventry-Climax SOHC four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, the basic variant claimed a top speed of over 120mph.

This beautiful 1962 Elite is understood to have been built originally as a standard model with SU carburettors, but it now benefits from twin Weber 45DCOEs as per the desirable Super 95 specification. It is thought that it was exported to Germany many years ago where it saw some use in racing, but it had returned to Britain by the 1990s to be enjoyed simply as a lively road car; the M.O.T. record suggests it was returned to the road in 1993 and enjoyed on a regular basis thereafter.

It has had only two owners since 1994, the present owner having acquired it in 2004 from Sherwood Restorations, part-exchanging his Westfield Megablade. The only major work the Lotus has received in that time was the reupholstering of the seats, interior panels by David Beswick Coach Trimming in 1997, the work costing £1,175; the dash and steering wheel, however, appear to be pleasingly original. The car was damaged while parked in 2008, and subsequently benefited from the repairs and refurbishment of the front panel and nearside front wing by Bideford Repair Centre and The Plastic Surgeon. Otherwise, occasional light servicing has kept it in fine fettle. It is offered with the V5C, an historic V5, several old M.O.T. certificates, and assorted invoices.

Extensively reworked by Bakard Customs

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: PLW 934R MOT: Exempt Chassis No: AN07FL38697

Only around 19 of the Mustangs built by Ford’s Amsterdam plant during the 1966 model year (September 1965 – August 1966) are currently accounted for with the sale car – chassis AN07FL38697 – being one. First registered on 18th April 1966, it was imported to the UK a decade later and purchased in June 2010 by Colchester-based Bakard Customs And Restorations. The company then invested c.£39,000 on parts alone in repairing and customising every aspect of ‘PLW 934R’. The result reportedly being an ‘all-but-new’ vehicle, with only the roof, centre tunnel, inner wings and some glassware remaining.

The overhauled engine is a 302ci (5-litre) Ford V8 unit from 1987 featuring an upgraded camshaft, quick fuel carburettor and filter, flowed heads and full stainless steel Flowmaster exhaust, Moroso performance oil pan plus a toothed pulley drive set. The automatic transmission was upgraded to Stage 1 specification by an Essexbased specialist. The braking has been greatly improved courtesy of a hidden power booster and Baer SS4 conversion that includes vented, grooved and drilled discs all-round. The suspension comprises all new standard specification components, plus a oneinch lowering kit and KYB dampers. The sumptuous Satin Black interior has been customised with TMI black Pony racing seats, full Dynamat soundproofing, Bakard instruments, and classic-looking modern stereo and speakers with USB connection. The dramaticlooking exterior is finished in Suzuki Candy Max Orange Pearl and benefits from moulded side air scoops, Maier racing bootlid, custom front bumper and headlight surrounds, smoked 2009 model year Mustang headlights, roof de-guttering, and black-centred knock-on alloy wheels. Offered with an extensive history file detailing the build with all related parts invoices and photos etc., this truly awesome custom Mustang is a credit to its creators and will surely set the blood pumping amongst muscle car enthusiasts everywhere.

Chassis No: 1S51262

“A good V12 Jaguar E-type is a remarkably sophisticated and usable ’70s performance car – and it’s not expensive to keep it that way.” Classic&SportsCar

Last of the iconic line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sports car and grand tourer. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed simply blew road testers away; contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph. Benefiting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its ‘egg-crate’ grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in Fixed-Head Coupe (2+2-seater) or Roadster (2-seater) guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (although a special commemorative run out of forty-nine Black-painted roadsters was released the following year).

A rarer, home-market example with manual transmission and recently refurbished Webasto sunroof, NHW 476L is finished in the believed original colour scheme of Old English White bodywork over the original black leather interior and rides on chrome wire wheels. Displaying a believed c.84,000 miles from new, it appears to have been exceedingly well-maintained with recent mechanical work completed by Jaguar specialists, Fender-Broad Classic Cars. Offered with a large history file and original Owner’s Manual and book pack, this ‘Ultimate Big Cat’ is said to drive well on the road with a smooth engine and precise gearbox.

Though it has seen better days, this S-Type has managed to survive with some early history intact. Supplied through Jack Barclay Ltd., as indicated by the sill plaques, it appears to have received a Bury-issued ‘EN’ registration, and the first owners are given as M. Mulder Canter and the Mansfield hosiery manufacturer Foister, Clay & Ward Ltd. We believe the former to be Maurits Mulder Canter, who is memorialised in a 1987 stained-glass window at Southwark Cathedral. Having seemingly covered just 56,348 miles from new, it evidently fell into disrepair before it was purchased for Scotland’s Alyth Collection some thirty years ago or more. While the interior and bodywork are clearly in poor state of repair, the Bentley could function as a spares car, though we think that would be an unfortunate fate for a car with known early history. Instead, we might recommend that this lot be bought alongside the c.1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud also in the Alyth Collection, as we believe that would provide an ample enough spares supply to make the Bentley a viable project. Any enthusiast who is prepared to save this Bentley will certainly be applauded for doing so.

Reg No: PWB 98R MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 2J 2498 DN

The two-door Coupé derivative of the Jaguar XJ was unveiled at the 1973 London Motor Show, but production did not get fully underway until 1975. Just 8,214 were made with the 4.2-litre engine. Now looking a little the worse for wear after almost forty years off the road, this slightly faded XJ-C has the potential to once more be a proud and handsome machine. Registered new in February, 1977, it was only in use for twelve years before it was taken off the road in February, 1989. A few months later, it entered the Alyth Collection of predominantly Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. The odometer shows 92,960 miles, which is by no means excessive and offers an optimistic forecast for the restoration, as we would not expect to find much in the way of mechanical wear. The interior itself shows little evidence of use and, while there’s a little age-related patina and a lot of age-related dust, it should only require a bit of elbow grease to return the upholstery to a condition more befitting an upmarket classic Coupé. As will be seen upon inspection, some of the body panels may require more extensive work or, indeed, replacement. All things considered, this rare XJ-C should make for an achievable and very worthwhile restoration project.

Nothing is known of this TA14 prior to its acquisition as a rolling chassis by the Alyth Collection some thirty years ago or more. It has since been kept in dry storage, and as such survives in reasonably good order. It appears to be a solid, fundamentally suitable base on which to place or construct a body. The drivetrain is substantially complete, although it will, of course, want completely overhauling from the radiator all the way to the fuel tank. It is increasingly rare for complete and useable chassis of this era to be discovered, so we would strongly recommend that bidders strike while the iron is hot and make the most of this one (or the other chassis in our sale), either as a base for a racy special, or perhaps a more ambitious coachbuilding endeavour. The four-cylinder engine is a capable thing in its own right, and will enable a lightweight special to fly along, but there is also the potential to install the three-litre six from a TA21 or later Alvis, and so create a real little road-racer. Bidders may take for inspiration the natty 1948 TA14 supercharged special which sold for £38,312 at our Duxford sale on April 9th, 2025, as an example of what can be achieved with a bit of imagination and hard work.

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B478CN

Of all the Bentleys in the Alyth Collection, this one is perhaps the most intriguing, if only on account of its obscured past. The chassis number is not attached to any registration number on the D.V.L.A.’s records, so its early life is a mystery. As a right-hand drive example, we may assume it was sold new in Britain, but before it entered the Alyth Collection circa 1990, it had spent several years in Texas. Some of its history will, of course, be preserved in the build records which are held by the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club.

The mechanical condition of the car is unknown, but it goes without saying that it is completely in need of very thorough restoration. We would note that the upholstery is not badly preserved, though, and with some sympathetic treatment it could—and should—be preserved. A very worthwhile enthusiast for the practical enthusiast, B478CN will be a welcome sight at Rolls-Royce and Bentley rallies once it has been restored, and there may even be some subsequent potential for private-hire use and recouping some of the restoration expenditure.

1948 Lincoln Continental V12 Convertible

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: PXS 117 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 8H181779

69

Exuding all the glamour of the golden age of Hollywood, this magnificent 1948 Continental is not only an extremely rare example of one of the most artistically-designed American automobiles, it has also been described as “probably the best of its kind in the world” having been named the outright Senior National Champion by the Antique Automobile Club of America (A.A.C.A.), and Best Continental by the Lincoln Zephyr Owners’ Club of the U.S.A. The A.A.C.A. has also awarded it National First Place in its Preservation category. These awards followed a restoration in the 1990s which has been preserved extremely well, with the Grotto Blue paint and two-tone interior showing no obvious signs of age, save for some pleasant patination of the leather.

The Lincoln formerly resided in sunny California; now, we in Britain are privileged to have it on our soil, following its importation in November, 2021. It has had just two British owners, the present acquiring it in 2024. It received some light refurbishment around the time of import, having firstly had the coil overhauled for $500 in 2021. The same year, it was given to IK Sport Classic in Yorkshire to be fitted with a new condenser and sparking plugs and have the carburettor refurbished for £750.

The ’48 Continental was a true end-of-an-era car. The American luxury V12 had flourished during the 1930s, despite market conditions not being favourable towards such opulent and expensive machines. Cadillac withdrew its V12s after 1937, while Packard’s lived on to 1939. The smoothest of power-plants had its last hurrah in the Lincoln, before all three manufacturers contented themselves solely with eight-cylinder offerings from 1949. As such, it is something to be cherished, and it would make an ideal machine for the Rally of the Giants and maybe some prestigious concoursd’élégance . Supplied with its V5C and old California title, we anticipate a lot of interest in this jewel in the crown of the American motor industry.

1977 Peugeot 504 V6 Cabriolet

Offered directly from its one owner from new!

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: YEL 863S MOT: May 2026 Chassis No: Z608676

Working in the motor trade in the 1970s had its perks. If you were the principal of Pilkington Motors, and the distributor of Peugeots to eight counties, you might have found yourself in a position to cruise around in Peugeot’s flagship 504 Cabriolet; if you could afford the privilege, you would specify it with the V6 engine and four-speed manual. The principal of Pilkington made the most of his position, as he purchased this V6, four-speed 1977 Cabriolet new, and has enjoyed it ever since. He was just in time – the V6 was discontinued in the Cabriolet at the end of 1977. This example was registered for British roads on 28th April, 1978, after the vendor had travelled to Paris to collect it. He used it primarily on weekends and for summer touring, taking it on numerous driving holidays across the Continent. It shows 158,500km (approx. 98,500 miles) on the odometer, but it should not be assumed that the car did all its touring only in its early life – between 2007 and 2020, its annual mileage several times exceeded 5,000km, though it has been used more sparingly since. The Peugeot appears in an excellent state of preservation, with its matching-numbers engine and gearbox. It has been serviced annually and has only needed one replacement clutch. Subtle upgrades include a conversion to electronic ignition and fitment of a twin-choke downdraft Weber and a stainless-steel exhaust. The vendor has also opted for the later alloy wheels, which were introduced for the 504 Coupé in October, 1981. The interior contains a modern radio-CD player. He reports that the Peugeot drives “excellently,” and with power steering as standard, it could be as enjoyable round town as it has been across Europe. It boasts a rich history file, with the V5C showing one former keeper (Pilkington Motors), period sales literature, the original sales invoice and French export papers, the owner’s handbook and service book, and a long run of MOTs from the early 1990s onwards.

Chassis No: SALLDHA575A705671

The Land Rover was launched in 1948 with production of the traditional Defender ending in 2016 after a run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III. Coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and permanent four-wheel-drive featured a two-speed transfer gearbox with lockable centre differential. The Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, five-cylinder turbo/diesel engine mated to five-speed manual transmission. Supplied by Gordon Lamb of Chesterfield in October 2005, this example has covered a warranted c.10,000 miles with one private lady owner from new. The vendor informs us that no VAT is owing on the vehicle. Presenting in original unmolested condition and never restored, it has had new tyres and wipers, due to perishing rubber, and a battery fitted in recent years. Dealer plates and stickers are original (on chassis and tow bar along with dealer stickers in back window and tax disc holder) as well as the protective plastic sticker on the heater controls inside. We are advised the clutch is light and the steering is smooth and offroad comfort is second to none. Never used for towing or off road use, this fine example is finished in a traditional countryside colourway of White over ‘Belize Green’ and comes with Swansea V5C and a new MOT.

Reg No: YA08 AFN MOT: December 2026 Chassis No: WDB2304712F142178

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. The initial flagship before the arrival of the AMG models, the SL500 was powered by a 5-litre V8 engine allied to five-speed automatic transmission. With some 302bhp / 339lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 155mph.

This 2008 example has covered just c.32,000 miles from new. Finished in Silver with a complementing Nappa Black leather interior it benefits from a Panoramic glass sunroof, Parktronic system, rides on 19” AMG alloy wheels and has an upgraded sound system. Offered with Swansea V5C, current MOT to December 2026, complete bookpack, specification / options sheet and stamped service booklet with 10 entries plus 2 keys, we are advised that two new batteries have recently been fitted whilst the last service was carried out by Mercedes-Benz of Ayr at 30,707 miles for which invoices are on file. A very smart example all ready for the upcoming summer months.

Reg No: CWA 732M MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GD2D1738G

A more powerful alternative to the MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the B V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit. Though inspired by the conversions carried out by independent tuner Ken Costello, the factory V8 cars were somewhat less tuned, producing 137bhp rather than 150bhp – the output was nevertheless sufficient for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph. As the all-alloy Rover engine was lighter than the cast-iron BMC unit, no significant changes were required to the rest of the car. Production of the V8 was curtailed in 1976 (reputedly over BLMC’s concern it would affect sales of other products - in particular, the dearer, less powerful Triumph Stag) after some 2,591 had been built. Supplied to a Mrs J Hardy of Chesterield on November 30th 1973, this example displays a warranted c.49,000 miles from new with only 4 former keepers, evidenced by MOT’s and invoices as well as a written mileage record. Finished in factory ‘Aconite’ with a re-trimmed grey and navy leather interior it benefits from over £13,000 in expenditure since 2015. Offered with vast history file including old MOT’s, invoices dating back to the 1980s and current Swansea V5C.

Reg No: H698 UGK MOT: February 2027 Chassis No: WVWZZZ1GZMW324812

Launched at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Golf GTi MK2 improved upon its predecessor’s aerodynamics, torsional rigidity and brakes. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds and 120mph, it proved fun and practical in equal measure. Finished in Royal Blue Metallic with Grey / Black / Red cloth upholstery, chassis 1GZMW324812 was supplied new via V.A.G. Lonsdale Garages Ltd of Barnes on 28th March 1991. Retained by its first owner for five years, the Volkswagen relocated to Notting Hill and remained in London until 2006. Warranted to have covered a modest 107,000 miles (an average of c.3,000 per annum), the Golf’s accompanying service book contains twenty-six stamps. Treated to new power steering and alternator belts during 2022, that year also saw the GTi benefit from a cylinder head overhaul (skim, replacement gasket, new bolts). A new timing belt kit was purchased in October 2024 and a replacement starter motor installed this February. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, ‘H698 UGK’ is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale (the current one expires during April 2026). Seemingly never allowed to deteriorate to the point of needing restoration, this sought after ‘Big Bumper’ GTi retains numerous original features not to mention its bookpack and extensive maintenance history.

Fresh engine overhaul by TR Enterprises

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: 559 FYN MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 5413

Manufactured in 1963, chassis ‘5413’ was supplied new to the home market, with power supplied by the 2,138cc Triumph TR3 engine connected to the four-speed manual Moss gearbox, the Plus 4 was finished from the factory in British Racing Green paintwork coachwork with complementary Tan leather interior upholstery. This is pleasingly still the colour combination in which the Morgan presents today, and interestingly, the Plus 4 returned to the factory in 1980 for a full re-trim to its original colours. In several periods of long-term ownership throughout its life, the Morgan is understood to have had just three former keepers. When the second owner emigrated from Guildford to California, USA, the Morgan accompanied him on the voyage.

Repatriated to the United Kingdom in 2011, ‘559 FYN’ spent a considerable amount of its American time residing in the dry state of California, which is a testament to its condition now. Recently benefitting from a full engine overhaul completed by TR Enterprises to fast road specification, the Morgan started readily and ran very well during our recent photography session, sustaining excellent oil pressure. Supplied with full weather equipment comprising hood trimmed in Brown, the original jack, wheel brace, and spare wheel cover. The history file dates back to 1972 with numerous previous invoices and MOTs, an instruction book, and V5C showing three former keepers. With a freshly overhauled engine, this is a low ownership example of a British icon!

2013 Bentley Continental GTC

Desirable Mulliner Driving Specification example

Estimate: £32,000 - £38,000*

Reg No: VU63 DVC MOT: October 2026

Chassis No: SCBGK23WXDC085747

If you can’t wait for bleak winter to give way to glorious summer, take a moment to study this superb Continental GTC and let your thoughts turn to grand-touring under Riviera skies, or in the verdant Alps. It is an outstanding example with the highly desirable Mulliner Driving Specification package, which lends a more bespoke quality to the interior though diamond-pattern upholstery and complementary two-tones—used to great effect, in this instance, by combining Linen and Beluga hides. The exterior is finished in the tasteful Hallmark Grey Metallic, and other highlights of its luxurious specification include a leathercovered steering wheel, a sound package, a power-closing boot lid, and heated seats. It has also been fitted with a tracker. The car has had only four owners from new, the first keeping it until 2020, and has covered under 65,000 miles. It has an exceptional history, having received its annual service from a Bentley authorised dealer every year up to 2023. It thus has twelve main dealer stamps (including pre-delivery inspection), plus a thirteenth service stamp issued by an independent in December, 2025. The Bentley received its P.D.I. at Charles Hurst Ltd. of Belfast, but appears to have been sold immediately to England, as every subsequent service from 2013 to 2019 was conducted by Bentley Cheltenham (or H. R. Owen, which took over the garage in 2016). More recent services were performed at Bentley Birmingham, Bentley Leicester, Bentley Cambridge and Bentley Hertfordshire. The GTC has an MOT valid until October, 2026, and bidders will note it received one advisory for a worn tyre, which was remedied in December with the fitment of a new Pirelli P Zero. It is therefore fair to say that it is every bit as good as it looks. It is supplied with paperwork including the V5C (confirming the Mulliner Driving Specification), the latest MOT certificate, recent invoices, the wellstamped service book, leather instruction book, a 2023 sales invoice, and two Bentley fobs.

77 1965 Austin Mini Cooper 970 S

One of the rarest and most sought-after Mini variants!

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: BSH 165C MOT: Exempt Chassis No: C-A2S7/549642

This 1965 Cooper 970 S has survived very well and in a notably original condition, having led an enviably easy life. Decades ago, it was stashed away in a garage, well-protected from the elements, and with a Jaguar E-Type for a stablemate. It remained there until it was awakened by an enthusiast, the vendor’s father, circa 2016. Showing only three registered keepers, it is understood to have resided in the north of Scotland since at least 1969, and the presence of one M.O.T. from 1974 suggests it was taken off the road shortly thereafter. The Mini was sufficiently well-preserved that it did not require a full restoration, and needed fairly minimal work to make it roadworthy again. Considering its past, the 75,000 miles on the odometer may be assumed to be genuine, and if so, it is hardly surprising that it had suffered little wear.

Returning to the road shortly thereafter, the Mini was more recently taken to The Mini Works, who performed around £4,720 worth of work between December 2024 and May 2025. The first stage was a mechanical recommissioning, involving overhauling the brakes with new wheel cylinders, servicing the suspension and steering and renewing bushes where necessary, and cleaning and reconditioning the carburettors with ethanol-resistant jets. A new exhaust manifold was fitted, with an uprated gasket. The second stage involved cleaning the underside and protecting it against rust, with coatings of rust converter, rust-inhibiting primer, and underseal, followed by a thorough application of Waxoyl. Later in 2025, it underwent a renewal of the timing cover seal and gasket and the rocker cover gasket, and received a new water pump, the work being completed by Sports Car Services for £366. An unmolested example of one of the rarest Minis, this 970 S is offered with paperwork including the V5C, the driver’s handbook, a Mini workshop manual, the 1974 MOT, and invoices for the recent work.

78 1965 Ford Mustang 289 V8 Convertible

Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000*

Reg No: KYY 526C MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 5F08C723527

Showcased at the New York World’s Fair on April 17th 1964, the Ford Mustang proved a runaway sales success thanks to the sheer degree of personalisation that it offered would-be purchasers. Arriving just four months later, the 1965 model year range added a new bodystyle and even more drivetrain, paint and interior options. Gracing the front of everything from economyorientated, straight-six engined notchbacks through to thinly veiled, V8-powered fastback racers via oh-so-cool convertibles, the Mustang’s ‘galloping horse’ motif was soon ingrained within American culture. Although, conceived for the domestic market the original ‘pony car’ proved sufficiently appealing for the Blue Oval to sell it on this side of The Atlantic.

Built at Dearborn during the 1965 model year as a Convertible complete with the ‘C’ code 289ci (4.7 litre) V8 engine and automatic transmission, this striking Mustang may well have been shipped across The Atlantic when new if only because it bears a Ford Motor Company N.V. (Belgium) chassis plate. Subsequently relocating to Sweden, the four-seater is still fitted with a Volvobranded radio and was known to that country’s ‘Classic Mustang Club’. Purchased by the vendor as a fiftieth birthday present to himself from Bill Shepherd Mustang of Surrey in 2010, the Convertible formed the cornerstone of his collection. Enjoyed on trips to Le Mans and Scotland, ‘KYY 526C’ has been professionally stored in recent years due to the seller spending more and more time overseas. Finished in Twilight Turquoise with Black upholstery and a White soft-top, the Ford sports a wood-rim steering wheel and auxiliary, steering column-mounted gauges. The engine’s air cleaner and valve covers are painted Gold which is correct for a 1965 model year car and indicative of either originality or sympathetic restoration. Starting readily during our recent photography session, the Mustang would doubtless benefit from a thorough check over / service prior to any proper usage.

1934 Alvis Speed 20 SC

Vanden Plas Tourer

Barely run-in since a full engine overhaul by marque specialists Red Triangle!

Estimate: £80,000 - £100,000*

Reg No: 129 YUX MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 11892

A beautiful sight following its eight-year restoration, this 1934 Alvis Speed 20 SC is one of only 21 originally constructed with Vanden Plas Tourer coachwork for Charles Follett, of which just 10 are known to survive. According to the factory build sheet, chassis 11892 was originally finished in Dark Blue with a White coach line, and upholstered with Light Fawn leather. The specification as outlined included two spare wheels with Ace spare wheel covers, a fire extinguisher, aero screens, a GB plate and rear corner bumpers. After leaving the factory, the Alvis has been something of a globe-trotter. The number plate ‘APX 232’ was issued by West Sussex County Council between March and July, 1935, presumably to this car, but according to previous owner Donald Meikle, ‘APX 232’ was issued upon 11892’s arrival in Andhra Pradesh, India, in 1938 or 1939. Although unsubstantiated, the story told by Yadjar Chenoy was that it was originally bought by an Indian maharajah for use in the French Grand Prix, and he kept it in Britain or Europe for a few years before shipping it to his homeland. Mr. Chenoy, a car dealer in Secunderabad, was the third owner, and it passed through the hands of a nawab (local governor) who sold it to Mr. Meikle in 1964. A restoration had been completed in India prior to Mr. Meikle transferring the Alvis to the United States in 1967. The ocean crossing was a disaster. Some careless longshoremen dropped some heavy machinery onto the Alvis’s crate, which smashed through the teak and fell onto the Alvis’s windscreen. It was then removed from the crate by way of a sling without spreader bars, so that as it swung from the ship to the dockside, each of the wings sustained damage. Sorting out the insurance took more than a year, and a disheartened Mr. Meikle let the car languish before rallying his spirits and commencing its second restoration, which cost over $50,000 and was completed in October, 1984, just in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the chassis’s delivery to Vanden Plas. The engine was overhauled with a new crank and pistons, the body timbers were entirely renewed, the aluminium boot skin was replaced and all the plating was redone. In light of the care and attention lavished on it, it is remarkable that the unfortunate Alvis had to be restored for a third time when it was acquired

by the present owner, a keen pre-war Alvis enthusiast, in 2010. The previous owner told a pitiful tale of how he had attempted to refurbish 11892, but was let down by third parties and, ultimately, the Alvis spent more than a decade dismantled and stored in boxes before the present owner took it over. Although some parts had gone missing, he was pleased to find that the engine and other major parts were present and their numbers matched the build records.

The Alvis was then shipped to Poland, where a mechanic friend of the owner embarked upon the restoration from his well-equipped workshop. The Alvis’s present ‘APX 232’ registration was issued (or reissued) by the D.V.L.A. in 2013, though the restoration did not reach completion until 2018. It was then enjoyed on the road for several years before a full engine overhaul was performed in 2024 by Red Triangle, since when it has covered not even twenty miles. Given the care and attention lavished on it since 2010, and the relatively sparing use, it is no surprise that the 11892 presents now in wonderful condition all-round. It is offered for sale with the V5C, a copy of the factory build sheet, history notes, photographs of the 2010-18 restoration, and invoices from the present ownership totalling excess of £90,000.

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

No Reserve*

Reg No: DPA 72H MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: P1R35710BW

This Series II 2+2 with matching chassis and engine numbers has been preserved in excellent order following its exhaustive restoration by a meticulous Canadian enthusiast throughout the 1990s. As an original, right-hand drive British-market car, it is already something of rarity, as only 1,040 Series II 2+2s were built to home-market specification. The Borg-Warner automatic gearbox adds to its desirability, as does the Webasto (or Webastostyle) sunroof. The Borg-Warner is original fitment and the sunroof is believed to be—if it is so, they represent an especially scarce combination.

At some point, the E-type migrated to Germany, where it was bought as a restoration project in 1989 by Mr. Johannes Siebert of Creston, British Columbia, Canada. When the car was evaluated by Aero International Auto Appraisals in 2005, Mr. Siebert’s report said: “Spent twelve years on and off, thousands of hours and $50,000-plus to date doing a total cosmetic and mechanical restoration.” The appraisal rated every area of the car as either “excellent” or “fine.”

The car returned to British roads in May, 2013, and was sold to a new owner that December. In 2015, it was offered for sale through New Forest Classic Cars, which praised the “almost flawless paintwork,” and in 2016 it was purchased by the late recent owner. Some very light fettling was performed during 2017 and 2018, but the for the most part the owner enjoyed using the Jaguar, and took part in events with his local classic car club. The E-type is supplied with paperwork including wiring diagrams, a service and lubrication chart, a modern copy of an original Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook, MOTs dating between 2013 and 2022, some invoices, and the latest V5C.

Chassis 2023H was first registered as ‘UC 635’ on 6th February 1928. Supplied new to Rowland Hill Esq, he is understood to have kept the Sunbeam for thirty-five years. Offered for sale by Sotheby’s on 5th November 1965, the Twenty’s description stated that: ‘This saloon model was stored from 1929 to 1962 and has thus covered only 25,000 miles’. Appearing in a Chiltern Cars magazine advertisement during 1966, the five-seater was summed-up as follows: ‘Two owners from new, low mileage, outstanding original order’. Treated to a recored radiator, fresh clutch, brake overhaul, re-spoked wheels and new safety glass all round during the mid-1980s, a handwritten log kept by the previous keeper, R.E. Denton Esq., indicates that the Sunbeam’s recorded mileage had only risen to 26,833 by 1993. Entering the preceding ownership four years later, the Twenty is still showing a mere 36,000 miles to its odometer which likely represents the total covered from new and would certainly explain why its fabric-covered Weymann Saloon coachwork has survived so well. Taking full advantage of the fact that her father had restored a similar Sunbeam from the ground up, the previous custodian had him look after ‘UC 635’. As well as overhauling the factory-fitted engine, he re-wired the car, refurbished the brakes and renewed the rear wheel bearings (often calling upon Bill Barrott’s expertise). Michelin ‘double rivet’ tyres were fitted and modern hazard warning lights added. Part of a private collection for the past four years, the Twenty has recently been the subject of a feature article in The Automobile magazine. A potential preservation class winner at concours d’elegance events, this fabulous Vintage Sunbeam really needs to be seen ‘in the fabric’ to be appreciated. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, buff logbook, Sotheby’s catalogue, copy handbook and assorted invoices etc.

1981 Aston Martin V8 Volante

The subject of a photographically documented, bare metal restoration by marque specialist Trinity Engineering

Estimate: £110,000 - £130,000*

Reg No: NHM 742X MOT: T.B.A Chassis No: SCFCV81C3BTL/15240

Introduced in June 1978, the Aston Martin V8 Volante was among the best looking convertibles that money could buy. Utilising a strengthened version of its two-door Saloon sibling’s sheet steel platform chassis, the newcomer was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a De Dion rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Sporting a ‘power bulge’ bonnet to accommodate the quad Weber carburettors that sat atop its 5340cc DOHC V8 engine, the soft-top was typically ordered with three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of over 140mph and 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds, the V8 Volante featured sumptuous leather upholstery and a beautiful burr walnut dashboard / door cappings. A smash hit with America’s rich and famous, most of the 439 carburettor-fed cars completed between 1978 and 1986 were to left-hand drive specification. For many the ultimate Aston Martin V8 was the Vantage Volante that the late Emir of Bahrain gifted to HM King Charles III (whilst he was still Prince of Wales) in 1986. Eschewing the body kit usually fitted to Vantage models, His Royal Highness requested a far subtler look with a modest front air dam, mesh radiator grille, spoiler-less boot lid, ‘power bulge’ bonnet, wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, bumper over riders and slightly flared wheelarches housing larger, sixteen-inch alloy wheels etc. The result was a masterclass in muscular elegance and doubtless served as inspiration for R. Dench Esq. who had the sale car – chassis 15240 – restored and upgraded by marque specialist Trinity Engineering of Cobham, Surrey from 2001-2002 (though, Mr Dench may also have been impressed by Victor Gauntlett’s similar V8 Volante which starred in the James Bond film ‘The Living Daylights’). The nature of an Aston Martin V8’s construction, a steel chassis and aluminium bodywork, means that it can be particularly prone to electrolytic corrosion. Thus, there can be distinct advantages in refurbishing a car which has spent its life in a temperate climate. Completed on 24th July 1981 and despatched to Aston Martin Lagonda Inc of America the following month, chassis 15240 was duly stripped to bare metal and converted to chrome bumper, right-hand drive configuration. An improved ‘V580’ type unit, the original engine was thoroughly overhauled and uprated to run on unleaded fuel (the accompanying Heritage Certificate quotes the engine number as ‘5248’ but the chassis plate and powerplant itself are both numbered as ‘5240’). A newer / more responsive four-speed automatic

gearbox was installed and the suspension, brakes and steering all renovated. Finished in the stunning combination of Balmoral Green Metallic with Tan leather upholstery and a Dark Green hood, the V8 Volante was first UK registered as ‘NHM 742X’ on 23rd July 2002. Returning to Trinity Engineering for servicing at 1,084, 6,246, 8,497 and 11,457 post-restoration miles, the Aston Martin was purchased from marque specialist Nicholas Mee by M. Campbell Esq in 2008. Given their familiarity with the car, Mr Campbell also called upon Trinity Engineering’s expertise. As well as having the Surrey firm repair the radiator, rejuvenate the steering rack and replace the front differential mount, he had them uprate the suspension via lower / stiffer springs, new anti-roll bars and fresh front shock absorbers and install the current sixteen-inch Ronal alloy wheels (with the speedometer being recalibrated accordingly). Serviced by Trinity Engineering at 17,656 miles in 2008, ‘NHM 742X’ entering the current ownership the following year via marque specialist Runnymede. Sparingly used as part of a private collection, a mere 4,000 or so miles have been added to the V8 Volante’s odometer reading which now stands at just shy of 25,000. Entrusted to main dealer Grange Aston Martin for maintenance at 24,361 and 24,580 miles, the 2+2-seater’s condition is a credit to Trinity Engineering’s craftsmen. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Aston Martin did not want for admirers! With several marque specialists currently charging £300,000 + VAT for a similarly comprehensive renovation, ‘NHM 742X’ is an appealing prospect. A fabulous looking machine with distinct ‘Prince of Wales’ overtones, it is offered for sale with restoration photo album, fresh MOT certificate and leather-bound history file.

1953 Bentley R-Type Two-Door

Saloon by James Young

Entered

from the Alyth Collection No Reserve*

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B391SP

This extremely graceful R-type, chassis B391SP, is one of only eleven coachbuilt by James Young of Bromley with its Design No. C18 two-door Saloon body. It was originally registered in London as ‘NYT 233’ and supplied new to Adhesive Tapes Ltd. While it appears to have been taken off the road many years ago, it does not appear to have suffered from any major deterioration, and doubtless the thirty years or more which it has spent in the Alyth Collection has helped preserve it. The odometer reading of 61,071 miles is likely to be original, and would account for what appears to be the car’s generally sound condition. During our inspection of the car, we did not notice any severe damage to the interior or bodywork, and we feel it is very likely that the mechanical systems could be brought back to life without too much more than a careful engine overhaul. The upholstery and interior woodwork looks like it should be reclaimable, and altogether this rare R-type promises to be a worthwhile project which would be well received into the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ and Bentley Drivers’ Clubs upon completion of its restoration.

c.1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

Entered from the Alyth Collection

No Reserve*

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: Not visible

This rather sad c.1956 Silver Cloud has no history that we know of, which is a pity because, to have arrived at such a condition, it could probably tell a few stories! It has, however, been preserved for the last thirty years or more in Scotland’s Alyth Collection, which has functioned until now as a sort of rescue mission for fallen Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. We wonder if it really did cover no more than 23,621 miles, as indicated by the odometer, before it was taken off the road.

Now, of course, the only realistic future for the Cloud is major restoration, or else as a parts donor. We suspect there is some considerable value in the latter course, as certain parts such as the seats certainly look to be reusable, and we expect the engine could be brought back to life after a complete overhaul. Some of the panels may be useful for other restorations and, while we have not been able to inspect the chassis closely, it could perhaps be repurposed for a special or even a more traditional bespoke coachbuilding project. Of course, if anyone does intend to commit to a full restoration, we will heartily applaud them for it.

1977 Jaguar XJ-C V12

Entered from the Alyth Collection No Reserve*

1948 Bentley Mark VI

85

Reg No: SCR 589S MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 2G1455BW

This very rare XJ-C V12 must be one of the lowest-mileage survivors, although it is now in need of significant restoration after forty years off the road. Originally registered in Southampton in September, 1977, it only saw service for eight years before being taken off the road in December, 1985. By 1989, it had entered its long-term home in the Alyth Collection, alongside predominantly Rolls-Royce and Bentley stablemates. The odometer reading is impressive, as it shows just 13,146 miles, so we would expect the mechanical side of this car to have suffered minimal deterioration, with the obvious exception of perishable seals and so on. As one would expect of a low-mileage example, the upholstery looks to be very well-preserved underneath the dust, and we think it should be easily returnable to a show-worthy condition. Unfortunately, the bodywork has reached a more advanced state of deterioration and will require considerable restoration. While some parts have obviously been removed, there is a collection of spares accompanying the car, such that we believe it to be substantially complete. As one of the rarest and most desirable Jaguars of the post-Lyons era, it is most certainly worth saving.

Entered from the Alyth Collection No Reserve*

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B193CD

No history is known of this early Bentley Mk. VI, except it was acquired some thirty years ago or more by the Alyth Collection, which until recent weeks functioned as a kind of rescue mission for fallen Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. It has been suggested that it was originally registered in London as ‘JUC 859’, though we note that that plate was later allocated to a 1953 Bentley R-type in the 1990s. We would hazard a guess that our car was taken off the road originally in the 1970s or 1980s, apparently having covered just 52,925 miles, if the odometer reading is original. Despite having been partially dismantled and stored for possibly as long as half a century, chassis B193CD does not appear to have fared too badly. After a cursory inspection, the Standard Steel body shell looks to be in reasonably good shape underneath the cosmetic imperfections, and we suspect the dulled Green of the front panels may be the original colour. The engine is insituand we can see no reason why it should not run well after the necessary overhauling. While some parts may need to be sourced, it presents as an entirely achievable and hopefully rewarding project.

1997 Rollys-Royce Silver Dawn

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

87

Reg No: P199 GPD MOT: October 2026 Chassis No: SCAZA17C8WCH66005

Debuting in America during 1994, but not available to other markets including Britain until the following year, the ‘New’ Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn was among the final variants to be spun from the accomplished but long-serving Silver Spirit platform. A late hurrah before BMW assumed control, the newcomer was based around the Crewe concern’s familiar four-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, adaptive ride control, power steering and ABS four-wheel disc brakes. Benefiting from Bosch Motronic fuel injection and digital ignition, its smooth 6750cc OHV V8 engine was allied to a four-speed automatic transmission. Available with a bewildering array of options not to mention Rolls-Royce’s bespoke `tailoring’ service, the ‘New’ Silver Dawn remained in production until 1998. Expensive yet exclusive as befits the ‘World’s Best Motor Car’, just 237 are thought to have been made. One of only nine ‘New’ Silver Dawns to be factory finished in Pearl Silver (from a total production run of just 237) this example was retained by Rolls-Royce before entering the current (second) ownership in 1999. Since then it has completed a number of events and rallies including visits to Portugal and Spain. Presenting in highly original condition with extensive service history since 1999, it displays a warranted c.78,000 miles from new.

1988 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

Estimate: £24,000 - £28,000*

88

Reg No: NBA 22 MOT: September 2026 Chassis No: WDB1070412A091608

With only 11 keepers over its 38-year life, this 300SL has survived in beautiful condition, and very much as it left the factory with respect to its White paint and Blue cloth upholstery. Originally sold through Esplanade, a Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz dealer in Newport on the Isle of Wight, its first owner was Mr. William English of Shanklin. All its owners appear to have been very sympathetic, and it received light use and regular servicing at least up to 1999, when the last service token was used. A very impressive collection of M.O.T. certificates dating back to 1994 is further suggestive of a commendable level of maintenance, and testifies that the low mileage of 70,650 is genuine.

The present enthusiast owner has enjoyed the Mercedes since 2024, but has used it only sparingly. It has covered under 800 miles since receiving £1,224 of servicing and maintenance with Hilton & Moss in 2022.. It is sold with the desirable private registration number ‘NBA 22’, the recently refurbished original hardtop, and a new battery installed in February, 2026. An M.O.T. with no advisories is valid until September. Additional paperwork includes the current V5C, copies of all the V5s up to 1999, assorted invoices dating back to 2006, and the original owner’s manual and service book.

1960 Jaguar Mk. IX

No Reserve*

89

Reg No: 842 SPA MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 775917BW

This most graceful of saloons is offered in need of some light recommissioning, having resided for some thirty years in a private collection of more than sixty cars. The late previous owner purchased it in 1993 and immediately decommissioned it for static display. Although not in use, it was not ignored, and benefited from paintwork restoration during 2017 and 2018. After the owner’s death in 2020, it was sold from his estate in December, 2024, to our vendor, who commenced the recommissioning process, although it remains to be completed.

In January, 2025, the car was taken to Classic Restorations (Scotland) Ltd. with its water pump seized. Work was undertaken to free it and generally improve the condition of the engine so that it could be made to start, and in February the carburettors were stripped and overhauled with new jets, needles, needle valves, shaft seals and air bypass seals, the total work costing £2,476. Bidders should note that further recommissioning may be required with respect to the brakes, transmission, etc. Looking highly attractive after the attention to its paintwork, and with a really fine, lightly patinated original interior, it promises to be a straightforward and very worthwhile project. It is sold with a V5C and invoices from Classic Restorations (Scotland).

2003 Porsche 911 Targa

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

90

Reg No: T90 RGA MOT: September 2026 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z3S631005

Originally registered in the Reading area, this beautiful manual-gearbox 911 Targa was a desirable vehicle from day one, being produced under option code 09991 for Porsche’s Exclusive Programme. Hence, features include the “special colour” of Cobalt Blue, 18in. Carrera wheels, and a comfortably appointed interior with embossed Porsche emblems in the headrests and a partially leather-trimmed dash. It has had seven keepers in total, including a long-term owner from 2004 to 2015, when the Porsche was still in regular use, covering up to 10,000 miles a year. Since 2015, it has been used much more sparingly, so that its mileage now stands at a modest 102,000. It has covered only around 2,000 miles in the present ownership since 2022. It has always been maintained throughout its life, with a record of thirteen stamped services spanning 2005 to 2023. The first two were performed at the main dealer Porsche Centre Leeds, and nine of the subsequent services were by Porsche specialists, the most recent being by PMR Motor Services at 100,168 miles. The upkeep has not just been limited to servicing, with a full engine overhaul being performed by PMR roughly 1,500 miles ago, the total cost being around £15,000.

A lovely example in all respects, the inclusion of the desirable “Targa” number plate is the crowning touch. The vendor does note that the Targa roof is very slow opening and closing, and sometimes need help closing.

1957 Jaguar XK150 Convertible to 3.8 Litre ‘S’ Specification

91

Fitted with numerous upgrades for modern driving and recently subject an engine overhaul at a cost of over £10,000

Estimate: £60,000 - £70,000*

Reg No: 600 BF MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S834794DN

Resplendent in Jaguar Signal Red, this fine XK150 dhc, prepared to 3.8-litre S specification, has benefitted from much careful attention during the 28 years since its original restoration. Manufactured on November 20th, 1957, as a 3.4-litre Fixed-Head Coupé in L.H.D. export specification, painted Cream with a Red interior, it was despatched on December 23rd to Jaguar Cars of New York. It was reimported into Britain in 1990, apparently in a sorry state. It was sold by Jaguar specialists The Carriage Company of Silsoe, Bedfordshire, in 1996 to Mr. Woodward of Cambridgeshire, in a condition described as “dismantled, for total restoration.” Mr. Woodward entrusted the restoration to The Carriage Company, and a large collection of photographs documents its transformation into a Drophead Coupé in Signal Red. This restoration was comprehensive, including overhauls of the engine, suspension and brakes, plus an interior retrim. Additionally, several upgrades were made for modern driving, which included the all-round fitment of Coopercraft disc brakes, electric power-assisted steering from M. & C. Wilkinson, a five-speed all-synchromesh gearbox, and an electric fan. Photographs show the work approaching completion in 1998, and it was first registered and taxed for the road in November that year, but work with The Carriage Company continued up to 2002, and there is no record of the Jaguar being taxed again until 2004, after it was sold in 2003 by The Carriage Company to a Mr. Meadows of Northamptonshire. It then remained in consistent use until 2012, ownership having passed in 2008 to a Mr. Reeve of Bedfordshire, who continued to lavish attention upon it. In 2011, the XK was sold its longest-term keeper on record, having freshly benefitted from even more extensive upgrades just prior to the sale. With dealer Graeme Hunt, it received not only a full repaint in the same Signal Red, but was upgraded to 3.8 Litre S specification, with triple SU carburettors and the big-valve head. Electronic ignition was installed, as were the spotlights which were standard for the XK150 S in period. The new owner from December, 2011, was the late Major Guy Lucas of the Royal Engineers, who bought it as a retirement present to himself with the intention of Continental touring. Major Lucas enjoyed some local use with the car and took it to the Le Mans Classic in 2012, before he decided to take it off the road and mechanically renovate it

to his own meticulous standards. Sadly, declining health forced him to abandon the project in 2017, and when it was acquired by our vendor from the Lucas family in 2024, it was a non-runner, as Major Lucas’s last, unfinished job had been to remove the sump to check the bearings. In all other respects, however, it was very well-preserved, having been stored in a well-ventilated garage. The vendor immediately took the Jaguar to Sigma Engineering for recommissioning, which took place over the course of 2025 at a cost of £10,519. Sigma found the engine had noisy tappets and a warped head, so it fitted a replacement head which it prepared to its “fast race” specification with new valves, guides and inserts. The engine was completely dismantled and cleaned, and put back together with a replacement crank, new bearings, timing chains and so on. The carburettors were overhauled with new jet assemblies and needles, and the tracking, toe and camber angles were reset. The worn speedometer cable and all the broken switches were replaced. Satisfied that he has saved a very worthwhile car, the vendor is offering it for sale having just completed its 500 miles of running-in. Included in the sale is the private registration number which the vendor has had valued at £10,000.

The Jaguar is offered with a large history file including the current V5C and historic registration documents, assorted old M.O.T.s and tax discs, many invoices, sale invoices (1997 and 2011), restoration photos (1997-98 and 2011), and two J.D.H.T. certificates, and the previous 3.4-litre engine is supplied.

1938 Delage D8-120 Four-Seater Special

Estimate: £40,000 - £50,000*

Reg No: EYO 363 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 51639

The sole French manufacturer to win the Indianapolis 500 when its Type Y took the chequered flag in 1914, Delage also enjoyed sufficient grand prix success the following decade to be crowned ‘World Champion of Car Builders’ not to mention setting various Land Speed Records. A credible rival to Bugatti, Delahaye and Hispano-Suiza, its model range grew to an unsustainable degree during the 1930s. Thus by 1935, the year it went into voluntary liquidation, Delage was offering no fewer than sixteen different chassis, nine distinct engines and twenty-six catalogued bodystyles! Reincorporated later that same year as the Société Nouvelle des Automobiles Delage thanks to the efforts of its preeminent Parisian dealer (a British expat by the name of Walter Watney) and former arch rival Delahaye, the new entity fielded a far smaller range. Arguably even more surprising than Delahaye’s vital help was its decision to market / position the reborn Delage’s flagship models above its own. Unveiled at the October 1935 Paris Salon, the Delage D8-100 and its sportier, shorter wheelbase sibling, the D8-120 were powered by a bespoke 4.3 litre OHV straight-eight engine allied to Cotal electromagnetic four-speed transmission. Drawing heavily on the Delahaye ‘parts bin’, they nevertheless retained a distinct identity and appeal. Indeed, the D8-120 swiftly became the darling of France’s most prestigious coachbuilders (Saoutchik, Letourneur et Marchand, Chapron and Portout etc) who used it as the basis for numerous show stopping creations. Uprated with an enlarged 4750cc straight-eight during late 1937, the D8-120 could exceed 100mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its refinement, roadholding, performance and light steering, the most potent Delage utilised a box-section steel chassis equipped with independent front suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Promoted by its maker as the ‘Haute Expression de l’Elegance Francaise’, two D8-120s were chosen to represent France at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Some sources estimate that as few as sixty-six were sold, while others put the total closer to 100. Still turning heads in the twenty-first century, D8-120s have enjoyed considerable success at Pebble Beach, Villa d’Este, Hampton Court and the Peninsula Classics etc. Supplied new by University Motors (London) Ltd, Delage’s sole UK concessionaire, chassis 51639 was issued with the London number plate ‘EYO 363’ on July 13th 1938. Initially bodied as a Four Light Sports Saloon by Coachcraft, the D8-120 was laid-up during World War Two. Still resident in the Capital when Anthony Backer

Esq of Swiss Cottage was issued with a continuation logbook for it on May 12th 1952, the Delage relocated to Derby the following year. Belonging to Frank Brown Esq for just over a month, the D8-120 then passed to George Elkins Esq. Victim of a fire that destroyed its bodywork whilst in the latter’s care, ‘EYO 363’ was taken off the road in 1957. Immobile for decades thereafter, it then passed to the vendor. A metalworking teacher, he transformed the Grand Routier into a Special by shortening its chassis and constructing a new lightweight body with the help of his students. Although David A.C. Royle & Co Ltd issued an invoice for engine work in 1986, it would be another thirteen years before the reconfigured 2+2-seater returned to the road at an indicated 53,630 miles. Entrusted to I&J MacDonald Ltd for a thorough engine overhaul in 2006-2007 (£9,649.08), ‘EYO 363’ was dispatched to the Aston Workshop during 2008 for attention to its brakes and front suspension (£4,965.77). Ronin Engineering refurbished the Cotal Type 35 gearbox in 2016 (£1,786.60), while I.S. Polson rejuvenated the water pump during 2017 (£414.65). Sidelined by the seller’s advancing years, the Delage still shows just 59,231 miles to its odometer. Running and driving during our recent photography session, the D8-120 sounds decidedly purposeful but will require recommissioning in order to become road legal again. A tantalising prospect, this potent Special could be enjoyed in its current guise or renovated to resemble one of its more exotic, trophy winning brethren.

1980 Lotus Esprit S2

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: ECF 77V MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 79090810G

93

The most successful Formula One team of the 1970s with four World Championships to its credit, that same decade saw Lotus launch a credible rival to the Ferrari 308 and Porsche 911. Unveiled at the October 1975 Paris Salon, the Esprit was notable as one of Giorgetto Guigiaro’s earliest polygonal designs. A mid-engined two-seater equipped with all-round independent coil-over suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, the newcomer also featured a recumbent, racing car-esque seating position. Powered by a 1973cc DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission (housed in a transaxle), the fibreglass-bodied Esprit weighed just 900kg. In mid-1978, Lotus released details of the Esprit S2. The S2 was primarily a machine of greater creature comforts, rather than improved performance. Made between 1978 and 1981, 1,061 S2s rolled off the production line. Externally, the sharp-edged lines were much the same as before, but some useful modifications had taken place. The top speed claim remained at 138mph, but stability was improved through the use of the integrated front spoiler rather than the blade spoiler of the S1. Additional improvements included a set of ‘ears’ that were grafted onto the rear side windows to aid air induction for the engine. The most striking external alterations came from the fitment of Speedline alloy wheels. The new wheels were designed by Lotus at the personal behest of Colin Chapman.

Understood to be 1 of just 1,060 S2 examples made, ECF 77V recently emerged from long term storage. Described as being in running and driving condition with room for improvement, including requiring some tuning work to make it useable. Subject to interior work in the late 1990’s and understood to have benefitted from engine work in c.2003, the Lotus is accompanied by a collection of invoices and old MOTs, 2 keys and an owners manual. Although previously subject to a ‘Category D Insurance Loss’ in 1999, it was subsequently repaired.

1962 Austin Mini Cooper

A true time warp example of a Great British icon

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000*

Reg No: 6015 PW MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: CA2S7234979

The Mini was actually de-tuned before launch in 1959. The prototype’s 948cc engine made it embarrassingly rapid compared with other more expensive cars in the BMC group, and it was downgraded to 848cc and 34bhp. A collaboration between racing car builder John Cooper and the Mini’s creator Alec Issigonis, the Mini Cooper debuted in September 1961. The original A-Series 848 cc engine from the Morris Mini-Minor was increased to 997 cc boosting power from 34 bhp to 55 bhp. The car featured a tuned long-stroke engine, twin HS2 SU carburettors, close ratio gearbox with remote gearchange, and 7 in disc brakes with twopot callipers, a first at the time in a small car. Priced at £679, 1,000 examples were commissioned and designed to meet the homologation rules of Group 2 rally racing. The 997 engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998 cc unit in 1964 after the more powerful Cooper S with 1071cc engine had made its debut in 1963. A giant killer in road racing and rally events, including famously winning the Monte Carlo Rally for the third time in 1967, that same year saw the Mini updated to MkII specification complete with redesigned radiator grille, revamped interior, larger rear windscreen and a host of other minor changes.

We are delighted to offer this 1962 Mk1 Cooper which has been the subject of a 10 year restoration from 2001 to 2011 retaining the original 997cc engine and interior. Tastefully finished in its original colour scheme of Almond Green over an Old English White roof, 6015 PW displays a credible c.69,000 miles from new. The subject of a dedicated 8 page article in MiniWorld magazine in 2021, it currently presents superbly and must surely be one of the nicest condition Austin Mini Coopers out there. Offered with a large history file including the original buff logbook and driver’s manual.

1936 Lagonda LG45 4½-Litre

‘Rapide’ Style Sports Tourer

Estimate: £140,000 - £180,000*

Reg No: DLM 310 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 12147

As a high-performance luxury touring car, the Lagonda LG45 was one of the best of its class, but refinement came at the expense of the visceral sports-car feel that had characterised earlier Lagondas. To that end, Dick Watney, a former racing driver turned director of Lagonda, conceived the Rapide. He gave a brief to Frank Feeley to design a four-seater touring body in the open sports-car tradition, while the enhanced Sanction 3 engine was dropped into the LG45 chassis.

We are delighted to offer one of the few surviving LG45s, which has been painstakingly recreated as a tribute to the Rapide by a well-known restorer and consummate pre-war enthusiast. Chassis 12147 started life with an SB3 saloon body, and spent over fifty years in the ownership of the Ling family, but it eventually fell out of use and into a derelict condition. When our vendor rescued it, the body had become so rotten that the doors fell off while it was being trailered home. Furthermore, the original engine had long ago suffered frost expansion and cracked, and had been replaced by a Gardner diesel engine. That was, at least, ideally suited to the car during the portion of its life it apparently spent operating as a taxi… With the original coachwork sadly beyond economical repair, the restoration progressed only once the owner found a Rapide-style ash body frame for sale at the Beaulieu Autojumble in the early 2000s. Once that was acquired, the chassis was sent to David Ayre to be properly aligned and fitted with the correct bracketry for the new body, which in its turn was panelled by Les and Ross Keeling. An appropriate 4½-litre Meadows engine was sourced from Richard Reay Smith. It had been prepared by Bishops-Bray, and had already seen some action in Smith’s LG45 racer. It was built very much to a road-racing specification, with twin distributors and more modern SU HD8 carburettors which are well-known for their use on post-war Jaguars. With high-performance cams, steel rods and a steel crank also fitted, the engine was crack-tested, balanced, and shown to produce just shy of 140bhp when tested on a dyno. For the gearbox, a fully-synchromesh Alvis unit was sourced and overhauled, making for a car that is delight to drive even in modern traffic. Other mechanical work included the complete overhauls of the back axle, brakes and suspension. This work included relining and rebushing the brakes, and retempering the springs. Impressively, the Rapide-only four-bolt Girling-Luvax hydraulic front shock absorbers were sourced and fitted. While mechanically the Lagonda reflects the owner’s individual requirements,

enormous pains were taken to ensure that the body is an accurate copy of the original Rapide style. Consequently, such details as are often overlooked or inauthentically copied are present and correct. These include the original type of glovebox lock and a dashboard supplied by the Northern Lagonda Factory with all the correct instruments and mixture control. The 1936-only seats from the original saloon body were salvaged, but have been modified to Rapide specification; the owner removed the covers, narrowed them by two inches, and then had the interior completely retrimmed. The fittings for the side screens and wind deflectors, as well as the fold-flat windscreen, are likewise correct. Once the wheels had been refurbished and set rolling on new Blockley tyres, the car was painted and assembled by the vendor’s team of mechanics, and just completed its road-testing earlier this year. This wonderfully faithful Rapide tribute is supplied with historic photographs of the car as a saloon, assorted invoices for parts and work, and dyno read-outs, and is only being offered for sale as the vendor has many other projects still to complete.

1966 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII

Marque specialist restored and maintained, home market, Phase 2 example

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

96

Reg No: T.B.A. MOT: Exempt Chassis No: H-BJ8/34969

A significant step in terms of ‘Big Healey’ evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s’ most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MkI was introduced in March 1959. Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC’s C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lbft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations. Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MkII and MkIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MkIII BJ8 in October 1963. Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast grand tourer. With engine output boosted to 148bhp and 165lbft of torque thanks to a new camshaft and better valve springs etc, its reputed 124mph top speed was accessed via a four-speed manual gearbox. Last of the line, the Phase Two variant benefited from redesigned rear suspension, strengthened splined hubs and larger diameter front disc brakes. Of the 17,712 MKIIIs built, just 1,038 are understood to have been to RHD, Phase Two specification. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis H-BJ8/34969 was factory finished In Ivory White with Red upholstery and a Black soft-top. Completed on February 11th 1966 and despatched to Atkeys Ltd of Nottingham four days later, the Austin-Healey’s specification included a laminated windscreen, adjustable steering column, heater, overdrive and wire wheels etc. The original green logbook on file shows that the 3000 MKIII was first owned by Vincent Voss Esq of Blidworth before finding keepers in Derbyshire, Warwickshire and the Home Counties. Off the road for some fifteen years whilst in the care of the Matthews family, the 2+2-seater was displaying some 59,000 miles to its odometer when renowned marque specialist Murray Scott Nelson sold it to M. Wheeler Esq during 2003. Treated to an extensive ‘bare metal’ refurbishment as part of the deal, the Austin-Healey received a new boot floor, inner / outer sills, inner front / rear wheelarches and B-posts as well as having its doors, wings and front / rear alloy shrouds repaired as necessary. Repainted in Ivory White, fully retrimmed and given thorough steering, suspension and brake overhauls as part of the refurbishment too, the 3000 MKIII returned to Murray Scott Nelson for an unleaded fuel conversion plus the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust, replacement wiring loom and new wood veneer dashboard panel. Tasked with uprating the cooling system during 2011 ahead of a Continental trip, the North Yorkshire-based firm continued to fettle

the car throughout Mr Wheeler’s sixteen-year tenure. Albeit he entrusted some engine work (new timing chain / tensioner, alloy sump, mountings, spin-on oil filter conversion etc) to Powells of Ripon Ltd in 2016. Dispatched to Rawles Motorsport, another well regarded marque specialist, by its penultimate keeper during 2021 and 2022, the 2+2-seater had attention paid to its rear crankshaft oil seal (uprated), heater, overdrive solenoid, suspension and brakes (the latter having already been upgraded with Coopercraft front discs). Acquired by its last registered keeper for £61,500 on August 1st 2024 at an indicated 72,000 miles, the Austn-Healey has since been improved by both EAB Classic Cars and Carl Hopkins. The former renewing the halogen headlights, fixing the erratic fuel gauge, refurbishing the distributor and adjusting the driver’s door window mechanism, while the latter carried out a full service, wayoyled the underside and replaced the steering idler etc (the associated bills total circa £8,600). A set of earlier style, ‘gold’ visaged instruments have been installed as a matter of personal preference but the previous black faced rev-counter and speedometer have been retained should a future custodian wish to reinstate them. A testament to the Murray Scott Nelson team’s workmanship, the 3000 MKIII remains highly presentable with notably good panel fit. A desirable, home market ‘Phase 2’ BJ8 that pleasingly retains its original powerplant, this handsome Big Healey is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with BMIHT Certificate, original green logbook and history file.

1970 Lotus Elan S4 SE

Drophead Coupe

Estimate: £22,000 - £26,000*

Reg No: YYO 6H MOT: August 2026

Chassis No: 459765

Remarkably, the present owner of this desirable Elan SE had previously owned it in the 1970s. Upon learning of its survival in recent years, he had to buy it back and drove it home from Aberdeen to the Midlands. Formerly, it had been acquired in 1999 by an owner who completely restored it between the early 2000s and circa 2012. This extremely comprehensive job involved a new chassis, renewal of the steering rack, brakes, clutch and suspension, and a full repaint in the original Lotus Yellow. The dashboard was refurbished and the rubber driveshaft couplings, exhaust system and much of the chrome were replaced. Later in the restoration, the engine was overhauled to the original specification, with the correct Weber carburettors, a new timing chain a new water pump. It was also extensively rewired.

The restorer sold the car in 2015 and the new owner lavished even more attention on it. Entrusting it to Classic Restorations (Scotland) Ltd., he commissioned work costing £6,843.75 during two months of 2019. The various jobs included replacing the gearbox oil seal, refurbishing the suspension with new shock absorber rubbers, and rehanging the doors. Some £1,600 was spent in 2021, including fitment of new clutch and brake master cylinders. A very thorough service by Clydesdale Classic Cars, involved the renewal of the crank seal, and the gaskets for the sump, fuel pump, exhaust manifold and rear oil seal housing. In 2022, the Elan received new brake pads and a carburettor refurbishment. When it first returned to the road in 2011, the odometer had been reset from 82,626 miles. By 2017, it had covered 800 miles, and the present reading is only around 10,000. This S4 is a very smart and usable example of the breed, and is offered for sale with the V5C, assorted invoices, some older MOTs, and a current MOT valid to August, 2026.

98 1971 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

Estimate: £40,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: AKE 371J MOT: August 2026

Chassis No: P2R14531

Beautifully presented in fiery Red, this very late E-Type Series II was among the large proportion of roadsters that was dispatched new in left-hand drive configuration to the United States of America, with the desirable manual gearbox. It appears to have found some appreciative owners over there, for it was in good shape when it was reimported into Britain by E-Type U.K. Ltd. in 2012. Upon its arrival, it was bought by the present owner practically straight away. He promptly embarked upon a programme of work to make it more suitable for British roads. Most visibly, this involved a conversion to right-hand drive, but it also entailed a more complete conversion to home-market specification, with the correct differential and triple-carburetter set-up as originally fitted to domestic E-Types. Further work undertaken in 2013 included the renovation of the brakes and suspension, fitment of a new stainless steel exhaust, and an overhaul of the steering column rack. Altogether, some £4,000 was spent on parts alone bringing this car up to its present standard.

The Jaguar has been used regularly but sparingly in the present ownership, having covered a modest 3,000 miles since 2012. The vendor, however, has absolute confidence in it, as it is to be driven to the sale from the Scottish Highlands. Indeed, he has no grounds for not taking it onto the road; although it is, of course, exempt from testing, it was put through an MOT test in August, 2025, and passed with no advisories. The present mileage reading of just over 91,400 is believed to be genuine. Offered from single British ownership of 14 years’ standing, this E-Type is to be sold with a history file including many invoices, past M.O.T.s, previous ownership history and, of course, the current V5C.

1972 Dodge Charger Rallye

Exhaustively restored with some £90,000 worth of invoices on file

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: AWW 175K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: WH23H2A181194

Since 1968, the Charger’s performance flagship had been the R/T model, but increasing insurance costs affected its sales, and 1971 was its last year. At the same time, federal legislators were embarking on a low-emissions crusade which would cause the death of many of the biggest and best engines, such as Dodge’s Hemi. Nevertheless, a new model, the Rallye, was devised for 1972 to give the Charger one last hurrah as a serious performance machine. It could be purchased with what, by then, was the full spectrum of Dodge V8s, from the base 150bhp two-barrel 318ci (5.2-litre) motor to the earth-shaking 280bhp four-barrel 440ci (7.2-litre) Magnum. The three most powerful engines came equipped with the A-833 four-speed manual with Hurst pistol-grip shifter, though the TorqueFlite automatic was optional; tested on a drag strip, a Magnum-equipped Rallye ran the quarter-mile in under 15secs. Numerous cosmetic details served to visually distinguish the new model from is less athletic siblings. Naturally, the Rallye commanded a premium price, hence just 4,351 were built out of 75,500 ’72 Chargers. Looking as if it had just rolled out of the showroom, this exceptional 1972 Charger Rallye is, in fact, fresh from a restoration to a concours standard. It was first registered for British roads in 2021, having been purchased by the vendor the previous year in running and driving, but cosmetically scruffy, condition, still with its original engine and gearbox. Immediately upon its arrival at his home, he commenced the meticulous four-year restoration which only reached completion in November, 2025, having cost somewhere in the region of £90,000. The most visible aspect of the restoration, of course, is the body and paint, which was performed by specialist body shop Carmeleon. The shell was blasted and taken back to the bare metal, with new panels being fitted as required, before receiving the paintwork to the highest standard.

The original 340 (5.6-litre) Magnum engine, with four-barrel carburettor and dual exhausts, was rated when new at 240hp and propelled the Charger to a 15.8sec. quarter-mile. For the car’s restoration, the engine was comprehensively overhauled by Meridian Engine Services, which included a rebore, regrinding of the crank, cylinder head refurbishment, new pistons and rings, fitment of a semi-performance camshaft, and much more besides. The gearbox was similarly overhauled with parts from Alders Automotive, a well-respected classic and American transmission specialist.

Along the way, the Dodge received a plethora of new parts, including a high-torque starter, a McLeod racing clutch and a new set of the desirable, period-correct Magnum 500 alloy wheels and BFGoodrich white-letter tyres. The suspension components were renewed, as were the brakes, steering column (with power steering) and exhaust system, while the rear axle and differential were overhauled in their turn. Once all the mechanical aspects of the restoration were completed, the Charger was subjected to final tuning and setting-up by Belcher Engineering. The cosmetic side was completed with a full retrim and the installation of a Retro Car Audio radio and custom instrument binnacles; the original radio and instrument cluster have been retained and are included in the sale. The Charger is very much still ‘fresh,’ having covered under ten miles since being returned to the vendor, so it will be up to the new owner to take care of the running-in, and what a privilege that will be—few cars can provide thrills and smiles quite like a ‘hi-po’ Mopar. It’s sure to get admirers at shows, too, whether at the big American-car events such as the Rally of the Giants, or prestigious concours into which muscle cars are increasingly being admitted. It is sold with paperwork including the V5C, the vendor’s purchase invoice and a thick collection of restoration invoices.

100 1937 Frazer Nash-BMW 328 Roadster

One of 48 original RHD 328s, with current family ownership since 1968

No Reserve*

Reg No: DYX 612 MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 85089

Our car, chassis 85089, has an outstanding history. Having seen some competition use before the war, it led a highly active post-war life, especially with the present family, which acquired it as a wreck in 1967. It was despatched on July 16th, 1937, through Eustace Watkins, to Captain A. Grant of Carron, a remote village in Strathspey. Captain Grant will make a fascinating figure for further research, as we note that Clan Grant has been the foremost landowning family in the Spey Valley for centuries. Our Grant participated in the 1932 R.S.A.C. Rally in an MG Magna, but we know no more of his exploits. However, a photograph said to date from c.1937/38 shows ‘DYX 612’ at a race alongside A. F. P. Fane’s 328 ‘GMC 1’. Certainly, Grant drove the BMW far and hard, as there are copious entries in AFN Ltd.’s sales ledger for maintenance and repairs up to September, 1938, with corresponding mileages. The next owner was K. N. Smith, by the summer of 1939. He participated in the 1936 R.A.C. Rally and 1937 Welsh Rally in a Triumph, before tackling the 1938 R.A.C. and R.S.A.C. Rallies, plus the 1939 R.S.A.C., in a Frazer Nash-BMW 319/1. The 1938 Welsh and 1939 R.A.C. were tackled in a ’Nash-BMW of unconfirmed identity, but he definitely drove ‘DYX’ in the 1939 Welsh Rally in July, and possibly in the Blackpool Rally in June. Alas, Smith’s Welsh Rally was not all it might have been. He reached the overnight halt at Porthcawl, but the following morning, 85089 remained in the car park long after the other competitors had disappeared. A picture and accompanying caption in The Motor suggested Smith enjoyed a bit too much sauce the night before. Louis Klemantaski captured ‘DYX’ at the 1939 Lewes Speed Trials, with the driver assumed to be Smith. From May, 1946, the BMW resided with David Bloomer of Grimsby and its colour was Silver Grey. From July, 1947, it belonged to J. Blake & Co. Ltd. of Liverpool. Blake’s manager was Frankie Penn, whose interest in racing sports cars led to him joining Autosport after it was founded in 1950. The BMW was sold in February, 1950, to E. M. (Mark) Reaston, of the Eclipse Copper Co. in York. The final logbook entry named Alan Mountain of Acomb as the owner from July, 1958, but it then came off the road. During this period, 85089 saw action in northern race meetings. Mountain was one of Reaston’s employés , and had borrowed the 328 for a race at Croft. All went well until the bonnet detached itself and flew over his hand, only to crash-land and get run over

by the car following. He spent the next Sunday in the Eclipse workshop, forming a “somewhat ill-fitting” replacement.

The next owner was David Harrison, who owned and raced the Alvis-engined Frazer Nash Norris Special; his mechanic was “Harrogate Jack” Laing, who seemingly received the 328 as a gift. Finally, the late Guy Smith entered the picture, after buying the Alvis-’Nash from Harrison in 1966.

Guy wrote how his acquisition of 85089 came about: “When I went to collect the [Alvis-’Nash], Harrogate Jack could not find the drive chains, but remembered where they were, and said “Come with me.” We went to a small housing estate near Harrison’s works at Pudsey, where Jack lived. At the bottom of a drive was ‘DYX’. Gravel had washed down and settled underneath the BMW up to its axles. The local kids used to play in it, and had broken all the instruments. The chainswere in the footwell. I took more than a passing interest in the car, but Jack said it was not for sale, and, having bought the ’Nash, I had no more money.

“David had a number of Alvis spares which I could not afford. Harrogate arranged for me to collect them from inside Harrison’s stores, when nobody else was around. My wife-to-be came, and chatted up Harrogate about the 328. To cut a long story short, Harrogate so approved of the way I had rebuilt and driven the ’Nash in competition, that he relented, and sold the 328 to my wife for £212 10s. This was in the early winter of ’67.”

There followed a major restoration until the BMW was ready for the road in 1970, and that summer it took the Smiths to Italy. The next year they went to Germany, and in 1972 participated in the second historic Mille Miglia. Their attitude was that, since they had the Alvis-’Nash for racing, the BMW 328 should be their Continental tourer, though it saw action at the Harewood Hill-Climb in 1974 and won its class. The Smiths often camped, the 328 having just enough room for the essentials for a two-week holiday al fresco . It was not uncommon for it to cover 3,000 miles annually, until a second bodywork restoration was started in 1996. An overhaul of the original, matching-numbers 328 engine conducted between Brian Taylor and

Stuart Baxter took place between 1999 and 2007, although by that stage the 328 had been fitted with a Bristol engine, so it remained in use until 2013. Now looking for a new owner to undertake some sympathetic recommissioning, this splendid 328 is for sale for the first time in almost sixty years. The 1990s restoration remains well-preserved, and, with the choice of BMW or Bristol engines, it promises to live up to Guy Smith’s assertion that “Apart from either a Monza or 2.9B Alfa Romeo, the BMW 328 is the best and most practical pre-war grand touring car.” Chassis 85089 is supplied with much paperwork including the V5C, the 1970 green logbook, a photocopy of the 1946 buff logbook, M.O.T.s from 1970 to 2012, a 1938-39 Frazer Nash-BMW catalogue, correspondence, photographs, invoices from the engine overhaul, the Profile Publication, a Bristol workshop manual, plus assorted magazines and cuttings.

101 2007 BMW M3 Coupé

Just 49,000 miles from new, and the all-important manual gearbox!

Estimate: £20,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: SV57 YHT MOT: July 2026

Chassis No: LD335470

If we’d just bought a new BMW M3 with a manual gearbox and EDC (Electronic Damper Control) button, we confess we’d be tempted to drive it rather fast and hard, but the owners of this example have all shown commendable restraint. As a result, it presents now as a really well-preserved, low-mileage example little-changed from the day it left the showroom, having just covered just 49,000 miles from new, and with the present owner caring for it since 2019. The service history is really exemplary. The car was supplied new through John Clark BMW of Aberdeen, which performed the P.D.I. and the first four services, in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2015, which took it up to 36,717 miles. The next service at 43,300 miles in 2018 was performed by a local garage, and the following three services, between 2019 and 2021, were performed by BMW specialists. The most recent two services were performed in 2023 and 2025 by German car specialist Autobahn, and included a change of brake fluid (in 2023) and differential oil (in 2025).

We cannot emphasise enough what a joy this should be to own and drive. The interior and exterior exhibit minimal signs of age, and the sober and restrained appearance really makes it a bit of a Q-car, especially with the options of the manual gearbox and the EDC, which gives the driver a choice of suspension settings for ‘Comfort’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’ driving. As those who’ve sampled the Sport setting know, there are very few saloons which can live up to the experience of an M3 on a winding A-road. Naturally, this well cared-for example is complete with its book pack, including the owner’s handbook and stamped service book, plus an M.O.T. to July, assorted invoices, past M.O.T.s, and the V5C.

102 1964 Jaguar MkII 3.8

Former award winner and in single family ownership for thirty-six years

Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*

Reg No: 656 KNX MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: P231895BW

Arguably the definitive British sports saloon, Jaguar’s MKII remains an undeniably handsome machine. Capable of keeping up with modern traffic, especially in range-topping 3.8 litre guise, the four-seater’s iconic ‘wood and leather’ interior delights drivers and passengers alike. Factory finished in the elegant combination of Opalescent Golden Sand with Tan leather upholstery, chassis P231895BW also featured the larger 3.8 litre DOHC straight-six engine, Borg Warner automatic transmission and power steering. Beginning life in Warwickshire - or so its ‘656 KNX’ registration number which was issued on February 25th 1964 would imply - the sports saloon spent much of the 1970s and 1980s on the Isle of Wight. The accompanying V5C Registration Document shows just four former keepers the last two of whom were members of the same family. Acquired by its penultimate custodian’s father from Rossleigh of Perth for the princely sum of £16,000 on February 16th 1988, the marque specialist is thought to have been responsible for uprating the MKII with its current all-synchromesh Jaguar four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. A photo on file attests to the sports saloon being a regular classic car show attendee and award winner during the 1990s and into the current millennium. Used less frequently in recent years, the 65,800 miles shown by the four-seater’s odometer could well represent the total covered from new especially given the interior’s impressive state of preservation (the wood veneers have been refinished but the other materials look decidedly original). Entrusted to Witherspoon Motor Services of Ravelston during late 2023, ‘656 KNX’ was treated to an oil / coolant service, new clutch, cylinder head skim / fettling, brake system overhaul and rejuvenated carburettors not to mention the installation of electronic ignition at a cost of £8,956.37. While more recent work has encompassed the fitment of four fresh tyres. Pleasingly retaining its original engine (LC8394-8), this appealing MKII is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, operating, maintenance and service handbook and history file.

2015 Land Rover Defender 90 Pick-Up

One owner and 124 miles from new!

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: GD15 PZA MOT: July 2026 Chassis No: SALLDWRP7FA474446

An obvious evolution of the first Land Rover which had debuted at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show, the final, separate chassis Defender – a short wheelbase ‘90’ version with a full-length canvas tilt - rolled off the production line on 29th January 2016 (and straight into the manufacturer’s collection). Conscious that the legendary off-roader’s approach and departure angles, both an astounding forty-seven degrees, were incompatible with upcoming pedestrian safety legislation, the Solihull-based firm had put its loyal client base on notice during 2013. Announced two years later, the Heritage, Adventure and Autobiography run-out models sold-out quickly and still command a premium.

Finding the trio too gimmicky and flashy for his tastes, the vendor commissioned his own tribute to the Series 1 Landies he had grown up around. Completed in Summer 2015, chassis SALLDWRP7FA474446 was specifically ordered as a Single Cab Pick-Up with a Rear Canvas Tilt. Finished in non-metallic Keswick Green with Black cloth upholstery, it did without electric windows, air-conditioning, central locking, leather seats, deep pile carpets or a sub-woofer! Utilising the same 2.2-litre turbodiesel, ‘Euro 5’ compliant engine as all the last-of-the-line L316 Defenders, it also featured a six-speed manual gearbox, painted steel wheels and basic door mirrors.

Undergoing its pre-delivery inspection on June 3rd 2015 at supplying dealer Guy Salmon of Maidstone, the Single Cab Pick-Up still sports the number plates they affixed not to mention its factory-applied dealer allocation windscreen sticker. Purchased out of nostalgia rather than necessity, ‘GD15 PZA’ has led a charmed existence thus far. Warranted to have covered a mere 124 miles from new, it has nevertheless been serviced twice and regularly MOT tested (the current certificate runs until July 2026). Having a greater sentimental attachment to other Landies on his farm, the seller has now decided to let someone else complete the 90’s running-in process or preserve its ‘nigh on as new’ condition. Kept in a weather tight barn and yet to see rain, ‘GD15 PZA’ is worthy of close inspection. A world away from some of its ‘pimped’ siblings with a deliberately ‘back to basics’ specification, this exceptional Single Cab Pick-Up exudes authenticity. One for the collector.

1985 Mercedes 500SEL Armoured Car

Chassis No: 12603712030052

As Mercedes’ flagship Saloon, it should be no surprise that the 500 SEL attracted numerous high-profile customers, nor that some were built to special orders. This example claims both celebrity ownership and a bespoke specification, for the first owners were none other than the Fayed family. Perhaps the most internationally prominent Egyptians since the abdication of King Farouk, the Fayeds owned Harrods from 1985 to 2010. They ordered the 500 SEL with armoured bodywork, a privilege reserved for very select clients. The armoured W126s were built at a special production facility in Sindelfingen to individual specifications, and with no standard price list. Features of the armoured SELs included wheels designed to withstand greater axle loads, side blasts and gunfire. The wheel rims and tyres were integral, the Continental CTS-1s having reinforced walls and a higher grade of rubber so they could retain their shape in the event of being blown out. Since anyone paying for bulletproof panels could afford luxury, almost all armoured W126s were specified with velour interiors. The Fayed Mercedes was opulently finished in White with Blue velour upholstery, and inch-thick shaded privacy glass. It retains original fittings including a P.A.-intercom system, passenger window curtains, and assorted security devices. The Fayeds acquired the car in February, 1985, and a 1987 insurance document reveals that the film-maker Dodi Al-Fayed, best-known for his romance with Princess Diana, was listed as a named driver. A security memorandum suggests that, by 1991, the Mercedes was kept at the Ritz in Paris, which was also Fayed-owned, and it has been confirmed that it provided personal transport in St. Tropez. While often used outside of Britain, the Mercedes was M.O.T.’d almost annually between 1996 and 2023, when it was sold out of the family to our vendor. In 2020, it was entrusted to Godstone Mercedes for new A.B.S. sensors and repairs to the exhaust, and is now offered for sale as a real collector’s piece which displays just over 40,000 km (24,200 miles) on its odometer.

1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25

Three-position Drophead Coupé by Thrupp & Maberly

No Reserve*

Reg No: CRF 279 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GXB 36

A well-fashioned Drophead Coupé body was perhaps the most elegant couture that a Rolls-Royce 20/25 could hope to receive. Chassis GXB36 received just such treatment from the old-established firm of Thrupp & Maberly and is coming to market having been in single-family ownership almost from new. GXB36 was originally sold to Rootes Ltd. (owners of Thrupp & Maberly), but the first private owner was Colonel Wenger of The Hollies, Brampton, Staffordshire. The original order on November 24th, 1933, stipulated a Sports Saloon for use in “U.K. and Continent town and touring.” By February, 1934, the car was being tested by Thrupp & Maberly, but it is not known when or why the order changed to specify a Drophead Coupé. The colonel took delivery in March. According to the vendor, the 20/25 was sold in 1935 or 1936 to his great-aunt, Miss Lillo Lumb (Rolls-Royce records do not acknowledge the change until 1946). It was her fourth car, thus named Hiccup IV after her unconventional method of driving: “She would sit hunched over the steering wheel and would pump the accelerator so she ‘hiccupped’ along.” Lillo’s brother was Teddy Lumb, chairman of Allied Textiles, which specialised in products made from imported Australian merino. Because Lillo never married, Hiccup was inherited by Teddy’s daughter, Wendy Vint, and her husband Geoff, a physician in Pembury, Kent. After Geoff retired to Somerset, he had the car repainted from all-Black to Black over Grey, fitted a new hood, and attended many rallies with the R.R.E.C. south-west section. Hiccup passed to the present generation in 2004, and has continued to be enjoyed with the R.R.E.C.’s Scottish section. It became necessary in that time to reupholster the worn interior and rechrome the hubcaps. Still presenting beautifully with its original bodywork, GXB36 is supplied with a written history, copies of the chassis records, a lubrication diagram, assorted technical articles from Milford Vintage Engineering, an original 20/25 handbook, and some R.R.E.C.-published technical books.

1949 Bentley Mk. VI Pillarless Saloon by Freestone & Webb

Entered from the Alyth Collection with Motor Show provenance

No Reserve*

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: B488EY

With its sweeping wings, low roofline, pillarless windows and abundance of curves, Freestone & Webb’s Design No. 3029/C for a Mk. VI two-door Saloon has what we might call a restrained flamboyance. Beautifully executed as it is, it is no wonder that Freestone & Webb chose this very car, chassis B488EY, to display on its stand at the 1949 Earls Court Motor Show. One of just six cars to receive Design 3029/C, it was originally registered in Middlesex as ‘UMX 179’ and sold new to F. Berwick, a figure with strong ties to the motor trade. In the early years of motoring, Frederick William Berwick became the London importer for Corre La Licorne cars, but in 1913 he partnered with the Sizaire frères to launch the Anglo-French car-maker Sizaire-Berwick, which produced cars into the mid-1920s. No further history of B488EY is known until it was acquired for the Alyth Collection some thirty years ago or more, and while it obviously needs restoration, we would draw attention to its apparent completeness and what might be its original paintwork. It would be well within the abilities of a skilled restorer to resurrect it, though, and given its rarity and provenance and the general excellence of its design, we sincerely hope that somebody does.

1952 Bentley Mk.VI Four-Door Lightweight Saloon by H.J. Mulliner

Reg No: BGR 981 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B287MB

Maintaining a very regal silhouette in spite of its somewhat decayed condition, this rare coachbuilt Mk. VI will make a very worthwhile project for an enthusiastic restorer. Equipped with H. J. Mulliner’s Design No. 7243 Saloon body, chassis B287MB was originally registered ‘BGR 981’ in Sunderland, and supplied new to R. R. Nelson. Its later history is slightly unusual. It appears to have been re-entered on the D.V.L.A. database in October, 1980, (when it was apparently painted Silver) but there is no subsequent record of it being taxed for the road. It appears to have remained idle until October, 1990, when it was acquired for the Alyth Collection of predominantly Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. While clearly in need of extensive restoration, the metalwork does not appear to have suffered from any severe deterioration, and some of the parts which have been removed, such as the grille, are stored with the car and included in the sale. For a skilled restorer, there should be no insurmountable obstacles to putting this Mk. VI back on the road, and the Rolls-Royce and Bentley world will certainly be pleased to see such a rare variant live again.

1954 Bentley R-Type

Entered from the Alyth Collection No Reserve*

109

Chassis No: B254CN

London-registered from new in February, 1963, this S3 would have made a very fine car for the man about town in the Swinging Sixties, and it is not difficult to imagine the first owner doing business with the smartly-pinstriped salesman in the Jack Barclay showroom, before gliding round the streets of Mayfair. Sadly, it had fallen on hard times by September, 1989, when it was taken off the road and into the shelter of the Alyth Collection, with assorted Rolls-Royce and Bentley stablemates, where it remained until recent weeks. The odometer reading of 52,194 miles could conceivably be original, and if so would suggest that the Bentley has not sustained any excessive mechanical wear. The interior, meanwhile, looks well-preserved under all the dust, and the revival of the original leather and woodwork should be both easily achievable and highly worthwhile. While the bodywork shows some obvious cosmetic flaws, there is no obvious evidence of any severe deterioration of the panels, though we would, of course, insist that any prospective bidders inspect it to their satisfaction. There is great potential for transforming B254CN into a dignified town car once again, and prospective restorers are sure to find it a rewarding project.

Reg No: PLB 63 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: B181YA

One of just 2,323 R-types built, chassis B181YA was registered in London in July, 1954, and is understood to have originally been painted Grey. It was eventually taken off the road in July, 1981, having covered an indicated 25,721 miles. It proceeded to languish for eight years, until it was acquired in August, 1989, for the predominantly Rolls-Royce and Bentley-focussed Alyth Collection, where it received shelter if not restoration.

Evidently, B181YA is now in need of total restoration and, while it is in a dismantled state, many spares are supplied in the interior and in the boot. While some body panels will need to be sourced, we believe there is enough sound material in this car to make it a very worthwhile restoration project, and we certainly think there is great potential in the chassis. It would be a shame to break it for spares, but if total restoration is a bridge too far then the R-type would surely have great potential as a special. One way or the other, we hope to see it live again.

1936 Frazer Nash-BMW 319/55 Sports

Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000*

Reg No: DHX 347

MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 55023

A former GN apprentice who became managing director of AFN Ltd. on January 1st, 1929, H. J. “Aldy” Aldington was also a keen competitor. Dubbed the “High Priest of the Chain Gang” by none other than Bill Boddy, his team finished second overall on the 1933 Alpine Trial. Determined to go one better the following year, he was dismayed to find that his Chain Gang Nashes were no match for BMW’s new 315 Two-Seater Sports. Thanks to financial input from A. F. P. Fane, AFN Ltd. became the sole concessionaire for BMW in Britain during November, 1934, with the resultant right-hand drive cars being offered as Frazer Nash-BMWs. A more potent evolution of the 315, the 319 featured the same lightweight tubular chassis frame equipped with independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering, and four-wheel drum brakes. The enlarged 1.9-litre straight-six OHV engine was tuned to develop 55hp and allied to a four-speed, synchromesh manual transmission. Imbued with better handling and road-holding than anything else in its class and far nimbler than a contemporary Bentley or Lagonda, the Frazer Nash-BMW 319/55 Sports quickly distinguished itself on rallies, sprints, hillclimbs and racetracks around Britain. Rarer than its 328 successor, just twenty-six were made for the British market. Notable as the second Frazer Nash-BMW 319/55 Sports to arrive on these shores, chassis 55023 was initially finished in Primrose Yellow over Blue and road registered as ‘DHX 347’ on January 24th, 1936. Although he did not have a choice with regards to the colour scheme, the first owner, Charles G. Fitt, Esq., was able to specify wire wheels. A wealthy and accomplished amateur racing driver who had formed part of the official MG Car Club Team in 1933 and campaigned a Ford V8 Roadster the following year, Fitt quickly proved his new acquisition’s versatility by contesting a great variety of events including the London to Exeter Trial; London to Land’s End Trial; Brooklands J.C.C. Rally (first in class, 1939); Malden Rally; Coventry Cup Trial; London to Gloucester Trial; Poole Speed Trials; Beechwood Speed Trials; Bullock Cup Trial; Edinburgh Trial; Brighton-Beer (second in class, 1936); Lewes Speed Trial; Croydon Speed Trial; and Bagshot Test Ground. He is further understood to have competed at S.U.N.B.A.C Trial, Shelsley Walsh, Donington and in the Colmore Trophy. A letter on file from Fitt to one of his successors notes that (a) he occasionally ran with MG Magnette front wings to aid visibility and (b) was less than enamoured with the two-seater’s original livery! Known to have belonged

to Fitt until the outbreak of World War Two, an accompanying buff logbook shows that from the early 1950s onwards, the Frazer Nash-BMW passed through the hands of John Michael Beddoe; Barry Hamilton Birch; John Dewhirst Handscombe; Francis Richard James; Malcolm Russell and J. H. Baker. Unused for several years prior to becoming part of the vendor’s collection in 2006, the 319/55 was subsequently gone through “stem to stern” so as to prepare it for a return to competition. An avid pre-war car enthusiast, the seller has enjoyed ‘DHX 347’ on a host of navigation rallies, VSCC rallies, Irish rallies and historic BMW events over the past seventeen years. Pleasingly unmolested, the two-seater is unusual in retaining an under-bonnet fuel tank, not to mention its distinctive wire wheels. Uprated with a Fiat gearbox, an original Herth gearbox is accompanying the sale. Although not currently fitted, the original bonnet sides and associated chrome strips come with the car should a new owner wish to reinstate them. Starting readily with a throaty exhaust note, the vendor notes that the Frazer Nash-BMW is a very usable pre-war car and has been extremely reliable during his ownership. These days finished in the more muted combination of White with Red leather upholstery, ‘DHX 347’ is offered for sale with a history file that encompasses numerous period action photographs, documentation pertaining to the two-seater’s racing history, a buff logbook covering the 1950s and 1960s, technical literature and a current V5C registration document. Eligible for a host of prestigious events, the 319/55 Sports is deemed by many to be second only to the 328 in terms of desirability. Considerably rarer than its successor (even in RHD), examples of the earlier machine rarely come to market, making this an opportunity not be missed for Frazer Nash and BMW enthusiasts.

Reg No: P60 SPY MOT: July 2026 Chassis No: WBSNB92070CY10136

“While its ability to cover vast distances in comfort and maintain absolute composure during 170mph autobahn stints is impressive, it’s that exotic power plant that captivates.” EVO magazine . The E60 generation of the M5 was introduced in 2004 and was the world’s first production saloon car to use a V10 engine. Linking the new M5 to motorsport, the E60 used a 7-speed paddle-shift Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) transmission akin to the BMW Sauber Formula One program. BMW’s official 0-60 figure is 4.7 seconds for the saloon, however magazine tests have recorded figures as low as 4.1 seconds. During the five-year production run, 20,589 units were built in total, 19,564 being saloons and 1,025 tourers. Finished in Interlagos Blue over Silverstone Merino leather and in current ownership for approximately ten years this M5 has benefited from cosmetic attention to areas of its paintwork. A great driver’s car, the aluminium 40 valve V10 engine produced some 500bhp with 520nm of torque and 0-60 available in under 5 seconds. With c.70,000 miles covered and running smoothly at time of inspection, P60 SPY is offered for sale with a history file including service history and invoices dating back to 2007 which include the fitment of a new flywheel and clutch in 2015 at 45,120 miles, front and rear brake pads and discs in 2017, and new coil and plugs in 2019.

Reg No: VFF 298 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: HDA4337244

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 (5th- and 6th-in-class at that year’s Le Mans) its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Continually updated, with engine capacity increasing from 1500cc to 1600cc, the MGA range was joined by Coupe and ‘Twin Cam’ variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively.

This 1525cc Series 1 was imported to the UK from California in 1995 and subject to a major body, interior and mechanical overhaul between 1995-2002 including a respray in Orient Red, with over £8,000 being spent in the late 1990’s with Moorland Classics of Leek for work carried out. Benefiting from an unleaded conversion, only c.3,000 miles have been covered since the restoration was completed and the car appears to be in exceptional condition throughout. Offered with current V5C document, history file including numerous invoices, a summary of restoration works, old US title, mechanical specifications sheet and tonneau cover.

1939 Rolls-Royce Phantom III

Touring Limousine by Hooper

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 3-DL-148

Originally registered ‘YU 7464,’ chassis 3-DL-148 was originally supplied to William Tatem, Lord Glanely (1868-1942), at Exning House, near Newmarket. Tatem established the Lady Lewis Steamship Co. in 1896, and later became a successful racehorse breeder. For the Phantom, he commissioned a Touring Limousine body from Hooper, which plans state was “specially designed” for him. Later, the Phantom belonged to C. Wade of the Chain Garage on Hanger Lane, which provided a car-hire service. Other owners were E. Howard & Partners of Piccadilly from 1951, and Charles John Maples of Old Burlington Street from 1956. By 1963, it had been shipped to Seattle for Richard W. Dameyer (1924-2009), who served in naval intelligence and on the U.S. Supreme Court. By 1985, 3-DL-148 resided in Victoria, Canada, and in 1989 it was sold with a Springfield Silver Ghost by Rolls-Royce Classics of Los Angeles to our vendor’s late father, an enthusiastic Rolls-Royce and Bentley collector, in much the same condition as it appears now, still with matching-numbers chassis and engine. Though the car requires total restoration, the engine turns freely and was running five years ago; we are advised that only an electrical fault prevents it from running now. Sold with its shipping document and copies of the Rolls-Royce chassis records, it promises to be a most rewarding project.

2008 Mercedes-Benz SL 500

Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: FL58 FHE MOT: T.B.A

Chassis No: WDB2304712F153000

It is difficult to believe that this SL 500 is approaching twenty years old when it looks so fresh, one might think had just left the showroom. Finished in Palladium Silver Metallic and trimmed with Alpaca Grey Napa leather, it is well-specified with luxury features such as black ash wood trim, 19in. AMG wheels and AMG body styling, ‘Airscarf’ neck-level heating, and Harman Kardon surround-sound. Sold new through Mercedes-Benz Macclesfield, since then it has covered just 31,500 miles and had only three keepers. The first owner kept it until 2021, while the present owner, who bought it in 2022, is exactly the person one would expect to keep it in first-class condition. He has been a lifelong member of the Mercedes-Benz Club, formerly served as its president, and presently occupies the post of honorary vice-president. Not only that, but he was the joint second person ever in Britain to receive a Silver Star award from Mercedes-Benz for services to the marque. He describes the car as “excellent” in every area, and we would almost call that an understatement. It is supplied with the V5C, a complete book pack, cover and toolkit, and paperwork including a specification sheet, M.O.T.s, invoices, and extensive main dealer service history. It will be presented for sale with a new M.O.T. and a fresh main-dealer service.

1964 Morgan Plus 4 Super Sports

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: JMD 111B

115

MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 5707

Viewed from any of three corners, ‘JMD 111B’ could be mistaken by the untrained eye as an ordinary Morgan Plus 4. From the fourth angle, however, all immediately becomes clear upon sight of that monster of a bonnet bulge, which struggles to conceal the two huge, hungry Weber 42DCOE carburettors that were one of the hallmarks of Lawrencetune’s Plus 4 Super Sports, along with the sleeker “lowline” rear bodywork and full aluminium panelling.

As one of only 104 Super Sports produced, of which ninety-six were the twoseater variety, ‘JMD 111B’ is really something special. Factory records indicate that it was originally Green and its specification included “Lawrencetuned engine and oil cooler. Aluminium wings, bonnet and body. Wire wheels. Nylon tyres.” It was despatched on July 23rd, 1964, to Lawrencetune Engines of Acton, London W.3, and registered the next day. While Lawrencetune went to work on it, a year passed before it was sold to Mr. Peter Hahn of Radlett, Hertfordshire. He enjoyed it for five years, before selling it to the present owner on May 13th, 1970. Considering he paid £675 for it and has been driving it with vim across the years since, we’d say he got his money’s worth! He clearly had his heart set on the car, as he was living then in High Pittington, County Durham—about 250 miles from Radlett.

Much of this early history survives with the car, including a copy of the original green logbook, a copy of Mr. Hahn’s handwritten sales receipt, and the 1970-71 tax disc. A 1973 letter from Tim Cree of the Morgan Sports Car Club indicates just how sought-after the Super Sports was even then, as he wrote: “I’m pleased to be able to record the existence of another Super-Sports as I only know of about a dozen SSs at present (I know of one or two that might be but I haven’t yet positive identification). Many people (especially Americans, if the rocker cover has ‘Lawrencetune’ on it), claim their cars are Super-Sports, but the chassis no. soon identifies the car.”

It is quite evident that the vendor has always maintained the car well, and the earliest invoice on file is from the well-known Morgan garage of Melvyn Rutter in 1988. However, it has never required any major overhaul, and the most substantial work on file was performed by the Techniques Morgan service centre circa 2018. Totalling around £5,300, it entailed a full fluid and ignition service plus greasing the suspension; cleaning the carburettors; fitting new rear wheel cylinders and brake shoes; replacing the rear springs; and painting the engine,

head and appropriate ancillary fittings, as well as the rear axle and chassis “where necessary.” The superb condition of the original interior is, perhaps, the greatest testament to how well the Super Sports has been cared for over the course of its life. It has required little attention since then, though interested parties will note that it received new Avon 175/70R15 tyres in 2021, and a new Enduroline battery in 2025.

Although the vendor bought the Morgan when it was only six years old, it probably goes without saying that it has, for several decades, been treated as a hobby car, and has seen only the lightest of use over the past twenty years; fewer than 300 miles separate the 2007 odometer reading of 32,841 miles and the present one of just over 33,100. In addition to the historic documents described earlier, several invoices and a copy of the Morgan factory’s chassis records are on file.

1958 Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000*

Reg No: 221 YUE MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: 5R07A138851

116

Arguably the greatest automotive expression of the jet age, rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic (some argue ’59 Cadillacs went over the top), this superb ’58 Coupe de Ville embodies all that was wonderful about mid-century American design—the prosperity, the optimism, and the uncompromising commitment to style. Like all Cadillacs of the era, they have a strong following in Britain, and this example was imported in 2011. Since then, it has had five keepers, the present acquiring it in 2020. Prior to being imported, it had been in the ownership of a Mr. Johnson of Halifax, Massachusetts, since 2000. Otherwise, little other history is provided except for an undated parking ticket from a certain El Dorado Hotel, and what could be a more appropriate resort for a Cadillac owner?

During its time in Britain, the Coupe de Ville has been widely used for shows and rallies, with some 20,000 miles covered on the King’s highways. With their lazy but tractable V8s and easy-going automatic transmissions, these machines make long-distance cruising pretty effortless, so it is no surprise that they get well-used. This particular example has, of course, been maintained accordingly, with a new water pump fitted in 2016 and the dashboard recovered in 2017. The fact that it is also supplied with a copy of an original lubrication chart would suggest that the servicing side has been taken care of as and when appropriate, too. Altogether, this is a fine example of a car which, as long as one has the garage space, is very easy to live with, with easy parts support being a bonus thanks to the ready supply in America, and the proliferation of helpful American car specialists over here. It is supplied with the V5C in addition to a copy of the old Massachusetts certificate of title, and some previous invoices.

1924 Amilcar CGS

Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000*

Reg No: YW 75 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 353RJC4474C

A really beautiful and archetypal example of the vintage Grand Sport (and refreshingly different from all those painted in the usual Bleu de France), ‘YW 95’ was discovered in 1972 in a dismantled state round the back of a garage in Essex. Reportedly, it had previously been recovered from a barn by one of the mechanics who worked there, but then stripped and never rebuilt. Its finder, Richard Cole of Wimbledon, documented the discovery with photographs, and in 1975 the Amilcar was despatched for restoration to Adrian Mounsdon. Aiming to recreate as closely as possible the original factory style, a new body skin and wings were fabricated by Peel Bros. in Surbiton, a slightly earlier engine was installed, and a replacement rear axle in the correct style was sourced. The project reached completion in 1980, when the car was registered ‘117 KGC’.

A well-known enthusiast, Jeffrey Ody of Devizes, purchased the Amilcar in December, 1987, and effected further improvements, including fitting a 1926 engine of the correct 1,074cc specification, and repainting the chassis from Black to Blue. In May, 2015, it was acquired by our vendor and pressed into action at a range of events around Britain, while maintenance was entrusted to I. S. Rolls Vintage & Classic Engineering of Rochester, Kent. Rolls fitted a new flywheel ring gear in October, 2021, and in 2022 installed a new starter motor from Auto Electric Supplies.

Possessing all the liveliness and sensitivity that make vintage sporting voiturettes so appealing, this CGS is said to start “on the button.” The opportunities for enjoying it are endless, not only with the V.S.C.C. but also with the Amilcar Salmson Club, or simply on a whim and independently of any club. It is supplied with history including the V5C, the V.S.C.C. eligibility document, many invoices and M.O.T.s, plus correspondence with previous owners.

2010 Ford Focus RS

Reg No: RV60 RXC MOT: January 2027

Chassis No: WF0GXXGCDGAT33610

On 17th December 2007, after winning the WRC’s Constructors’ Title for a second successive year, Ford confirmed that it would be building a ‘RS’ version of the Focus Mk2. Unveiled in ‘concept car’ guise at the following year’s British Motor Show but not entering production until January 2009, the resultant design was hailed by the Blue Oval thus: “It’s as close as you’ll come to driving a full-spec rally car”. Although resolutely front-wheel drive, the newcomer’s combination of a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing LSD, sophisticated ESP and innovative RevoKnuckle front suspension meant its handling / roadholding were exemplary. Uprated with a bigger turbo, more efficient intercooler, forged crankshaft and silicon-aluminium pistons, the proven 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine developed 301bhp/325lbft; outputs sufficient for 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and 163mph. Only available in Ultimate Green, Frozen White and Performance Blue, a mere 11,500 or so Focus Mk2 RS cars were sold worldwide (with 4,000 coming to the UK).

Finished in the rarest colour, Performance Blue, and specified with the more expensive ‘Luxury Pack 2’ which added a reversing camera and touchscreen sat-nav to the standard fitment air-con, keyless go and automatic headlamps / wipers etc, ‘RV60 RXC’ is not only completely unmodified but was also main dealer serviced every year from 2011-2023 inclusive. Entering the current ownership via the estate of its second keeper who had taken possession when the RS was just two months old, this highly original and very well maintained ‘hot hatch’ is warranted to have covered a modest 97,000 miles from new. Smart enough to show but also with an odometer reading which does not preclude being driven and enjoyed, this sought-after Fast Ford is offered for sale with book pack, Daron Ford invoices and history file.

“It took Chrysler 13 years after the Viper’s debut to answer this absurd “what if” question by shoving the Viper’s 500-hp, 8.3-liter V-10 and a big red “start” button into its regular-cab, short-box Ram pickup. The result was a 5100-pound keg hauler that roasted 60 mph in under five seconds while slurping up the juice at the rate of 12 mpg.” - Hagerty January 2019

Styled by Cliff Wilkins, the third generation Dodge Ram debuted at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show. A ‘clean sheet’ design featuring all-new frames, suspension, powertrains, interiors, and bodywork, it was available in 1500, 2500 and 3500 guises. Lighter and shorter than its siblings, the former also had the most car-like road manners courtesy of its independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering. Dodge released the SRT-10 in 2004, a performance variant of the Ram fitted with the 8.3-litre V10 engine from the third generation Dodge Viper with 500 bhp and an unbelievable 0-60 time of just over 5 seconds.

First registered in the UK on February 1st 2005 in Wimbledonthis would have been when virtually new so it may have been a UK concessionaire for Dodge who imported the vehicle from new but this is unconfirmed. Finished in Mineral Grey Metallic with 22inch Viper style wheels, and powered by the 8.3-litre V10 Viper powerplant with 4 speed automatic transmission - it sounds incredible and will likely make you unpopular with the neighbours! With 500bhp, a 0-60 time of just over 5 seconds and reputed top speed of close to 150mph this powerful Dodge currently displays c.76,000 miles and is offered with a history file showing new tyres only 3,000 miles ago in 2023 at a cost of over £1,200 alongside a major engine, belts and transmission service at a cost of over £2,200 also in 2023 alongside a current V5C document.

Chassis No: SCA664S02AUH14519

Formally unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the RollsRoyce Ghost was styled by Andreas Thurner. Engineered by Helmut Riedl, who had overseen the development of its larger Phantom sibling, the newcomer featured such advanced fully-independent air suspension that it could detect a rear seat passenger moving from one side to the other and retune accordingly. Maintaining composure was an important consideration given that the svelte saloon’s 6.6 litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine produced some 562bhp and 575lbft of torque. Lighter, nimbler and more powerful than the Phantom, the Ghost was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and 155mph (limited). A touch bolder in its choice of fixtures and fittings, the Ghost’s cabin nonetheless proved a very welcoming cocoon from the outside world.

Finished in the sophisticated combination of Black Amethyst with Seashell leather upholstery, chassis SCA664S02AUH14519 is a notably early example. Initially road registered on January 1st 2010, it is thought to have been built late the previous year alongside the press, dealer demonstrator and VIP early delivery cars. Enjoying a higher degree of personalisation than many of its later siblings, the luxury saloon was specified with a contrasting ‘Liquidmetal’ bonnet / windscreen surround, Panorama Glass Roof, Rear Seat Entertainment / ‘Theatre’ Package, Extended Leather, Piano Black Interior Wood, Head-Up Display and 20-inch alloy wheels. Passing the majority of its MOT tests with ‘no advisories’, the four- / five-seater is warranted to have covered a modest 56,000 miles from new. Currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer (‘RRO 56’ is being retained), the Rolls-Royce remains a decidedly imposing and indulgent machine. Coming to market at approximately twenty percent of its original purchase price, this stylish Ghost is accompanied by a history file and MOT certificate valid until June 2026.

Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000*

Reg No: 150 AYC MOT: Exempt

Chassis No: S824766

By the time the XK150 was launched in May 1957, Jaguar had won Le Mans four times and was about to do so once again. A logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK a distinctly more modern air. The split windscreen was replaced with a single sweep of toughened glass and the scuttle height was raised, along with the waistline. The bonnet was widened and the walnut dashboard of the XK140 was replaced by one trimmed in leather. Thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine was the 3.4-litre DOHC straight six unit of the XK140, which was later increased to 3.8-litres. Still more power became available from 1958 in the form of the ‘S’ engine. The XK150 was the first production Jaguar to be equipped with disc brakes and was initially offered in Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) and Drophead Coupe guise, the Roadster following in 1958. By the time production ended in October 1960 to make way for the E-Type, some 4,445 FHCs had been produced, of which just 1,368 were RHD examples.

Understood to be one of just 383 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupes built to right-hand drive specification during 1959, chassis S824766 began life as a ‘Special Equipment’ model but was subsequently upgraded closer to 3.8 litre ‘S’ specification complete with a ‘VA’ prefix engine, Pumpkin Orange hued cylinder head and triple SU carburettors. Carrying the distinctive and valuable number plate ‘150 AYC’, the 2+2-seater has been extensively restored in the past. Coming to market from long-term but sadly deceased ownership, the late owner is known to have registered the Jaguar for the ‘XK60’ celebrations and used it to tour through Scotland. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z8S721211

Introduced in 2004, the Grant Larson designed 997-series was the sixth generation of Porsche’s iconic 911 and allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor – a lighter / stiffer bodyshell, better suspension / brakes, four-valve cylinder heads and a superior HVAC system – to more classic styling including a return to oval headlamps and more classic looking interiors. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8-litre engine (rated at 350bhp/295lbft), sports exhaust, upgraded braking system, Porsche Active Suspension Management dynamically adjustable dampers (PASM) and 19-inch wheels as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 182mph, it soon became a driver’s favourite. The 997 range was available from 2004 to 2013, with the all-wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S 997s beginning to be delivered to customers from November 2005. Better built and arguably better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991, examples of 997 cars are becoming increasingly collectible.

This desirable manual transmission First phase Carrera 4S is understood to benefit from a full Porsche service history with Brentwood Porsche and has covered just c.23,000 miles from new. Finished in metallic black over an extended tan leather interior, both of which are said to be in excellent condition, it has been in storage in a private collection for the last few years but is expected to be MOT’d in readiness for the sale. The private registration will be retained and a date related plate assigned to the vehicle in due course.

Chassis No: 11304220003959

We consider this 1964 230/250 SL to be one of the most desirable W113s on the market on account of its superb specification, combining rare original features with an engine upgrade made in period. Hailing from the second year of 230 SL production, ‘682 XAF’ represents an extremely scarce example of a British-market, right-hand drive manual SL, besides being one of very few to carry an original pre-suffix registration. This SL’s history begins in 1975, when it was owned by Mr. R. B. Foreman of Polperro. Invoices indicate it was maintained then by M. Thomas (Continentals) Ltd., a Mercedes-Benz and Audi garage in Plymouth. Work included the fitment of a 250 SL engine in 1975, with a corresponding boot badge; introduced in 1966, the 250’s engine featured an increased stroke, raising displacement to 2,496cc and torque to a claimed 159lb ft. Intermittent records continue up to 1986, after which the Mercedes led a quieter life until 2013, when the then-owner presented it to respected classic Mercedes specialist Hilton & Moss for an extensive programme of works, which included welding, wiring repairs, replacement of the clutch slave cylinder, wheel cylinders and fuel pump, and some paint touch-up, coming to a total of just over £10,000. Further maintenance was performed by SS Motors in 2016, including a gearbox overhaul with new bushes and spacers. The vendor purchased the Mercedes in 2018 and commissioned further improvements with Cotswold Classic Car Restorations. Welding repairs to the floorpan and rear suspension mounting areas were undertaken in 2019, and a new stereo was fitted, the work costing £8,350. Most recently, an £18,000 engine overhaul was performed from September, 2022, to February, 2023, with new rings, bearings and valve guides. Now in excellent order, ‘682 XAF’ has been used regularly by the vendor and was recently driven some 200 miles to our storage facility. It is supplied with the current V5C, copious invoices dating back to 1975, some recent sales invoices, and a few MOTs dating back to 1977.

1956 Bentley S-Type

Reg No: YMU 888 MOT: Exempt

c.1948 Alvis TA14 Rolling Chassis

Entered from the Alyth Collection No Reserve*

Chassis No: B32CK

We don’t suppose there are many people who can say that they own a ‘new’ Bentley S-Type, but this car is perhaps as close to a new one as it is possible to get. The bare chassis, B32CK, dates from 1956 and first ventured onto the road in April of that year with the Middlesex registration ‘YMU 888’. Its subsequent fate is not known, but it appears to have been taken off the road many years ago, prior to its acquisition by the Rolls-Royce and Bentley-focussed Alyth Collection, where it has resided for at least twenty years.

The chassis is now presented in restored condition, and is accompanied by two engines, one of which has been overhauled. The bodywork, however, is most extraordinary—the Standard Steel body shell is a new old-stock item, accompanied by matching front wings, doors, boot and bonnet. It is hardly necessary to state that to find a new old-stock body these days is next to impossible. While some parts still need to be restored, and one or two may need to be sourced, we believed the S-Type is substantially complete, and we look forward to welcoming bidders who are attracted by the novelty of what is essentially a build-your-ownBentley project. A current V5C is supplied.

Reg No: Un-Registered MOT: Exempt Chassis No: Not seen

Nothing is known of this TA14 prior to its acquisition as a rolling chassis by the Alyth Collection some thirty years ago or more. It has since been kept in dry storage, and as such survives in reasonably good order. It appears to be a solid, fundamentally suitable base on which to place or construct a body. The drivetrain is substantially complete, although it will, of course, want completely overhauling from the radiator all the way to the fuel tank. It is increasingly rare for complete and useable chassis of this era to be discovered, so we would strongly recommend that bidders strike while the iron is hot and make the most of this one (or the other chassis in our sale), either as a base for a racy special, or perhaps a more ambitious coachbuilding endeavour. The four-cylinder engine is a capable thing in its own right, and will enable a lightweight special to fly along, but there is also the potential to install the three-litre six from a TA21 or later Alvis, and so create a real little road-racer. Bidders may take for inspiration the natty 1948 TA14 supercharged special which sold for £38,312 at our Duxford sale on April 9th, 2025, as an example of what can be achieved with a bit of imagination and hard work.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS

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

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

1.3 All relevant matters pertaining to the Lot such as a financial encumbrance, serious accident damage or other factors affecting value which are known to the Seller must be stated on the Entry Form. If a sale is lost because of the failure of the Seller to disclose to the Auctioneer all

information which may reasonably be expected to affect the provenance, title, value or any other aspect of the Lot, the Auctioneer will charge and the Seller must pay the stated rates (both to Seller and Buyer) plus VAT.

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

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

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

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

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

3.2 In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot, the Auctioneer reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and

if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith. There will be a charge of £75 plus VAT for this service.

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

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

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

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

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

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

4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer

may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.

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

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

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

(c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced, placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of the Seller.

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

10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the

Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer.

CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING THE BUYER

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

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

12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s

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

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

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

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

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

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.
