Welcome to our first sale of 2026 here at the amazing Millbrook Proving Ground. A research and development centre for everything from military vehicles to hypercars as well as a sometime film and TV set, it is perhaps appropriate that the eighty vehicles on offer track the evolution of some of the world’s most famous automotive brands.
The front cover car, the 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Sedanca Coupe is a case in point. Understood to be one of eight cars thus bodied by HJ Mulliner, it was designed for fast touring in both the UK and Europe. Feeling that W.O. Bentley was treading on his toes by launching the unapologetically luxurious 8 Litre, Henry Royce responded in kind by introducing the Continental, a sporting, high-performance variant of the Phantom II.
Fast forward the best part of four decades and Rolls-Royce was still offering a sleeker, more stylish alternative to its ‘standard’ four-door saloon offering in the shape of the two-door Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward (which subsequently morphed into the Corniche). The most expensive two-door car that money could buy in the late 1960s, the 1969 example going under the hammer is especially smart having had some £90,000 spent on it since 2010.
In some ways, sixty-five years does not seem like a big enough gap between the ex-Earl’s Court Motor Show 1951 Bentley MKVI HJ Mulliner Sports Saloon and the 2016 Bentley Bentayga. Aside from their shared ‘Winged B’ badging the two really are chalk and cheese with a naturally aspirated 4.5 litre straight-six engine versus a twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre W12, rear wheel drive versus four-wheel drive and a coachbuilt saloon versus an uber-SUV!
Now recognised as a modern classic, the first generation Elise was hailed as a true return to form for Lotus and as being evocative of the Chapman spirit which made its forebears including the Type 14 Elite so special. Fans of the ‘British Ferrari’ are spoilt for choice at Millbrook with a 1962 Lotus Elite Series 2 SE, 1965 Lotus Elan S2 Drophead Coupe, 1971 Lotus Elan Sprint FHC and 2000 Lotus Elise S1 Type 49.
Away from the world of luxury and lightweight sportscars, it is impossible to ignore the influence that Ford has had on our world. Certainly, the success of the Transit helped the Blue Oval fund its purchase of Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover during the 1990s. There are no fewer than seven Fords on offer at Millbrook ranging from a 1934 Ford Model Y Two-Door Saloon (a model that its maker famously sold for just £100) through to a 1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo which underwent a seven-year restoration via a 2,200 miles from new 1990 Ford Transit MK3 Bare Chassis Cab that has been consigned from a collection of notable commercials.
Given the Proving Ground’s heritage, it is surely a fitting place to offer the 1968 Aston Martin DBS ‘V8 Prototype’ or the exhaustively restored 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 (the latter among the earliest British cars to feature a hatchback). Although those looking for a more modern Aston will doubtless be tempted by the 1995 Aston Martin DB7 Coupe which has been in single family ownership from new or the decidedly rare (1 of 37) 2005 Aston Martin DB9 Volante equipped with Getrag six-speed manual transmission.
Held over a weekend, this auction contains a fascinating mixture of vehicles ranging from blue chip to blue collar. We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to a hopefully sunny Millbrook.
Kind regards, Colette

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.
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.
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
equivalent of €10,000 or Interbank Transfer by 12.00 noon the day following the sale. In any event purchasers are reminded that clearance of Lot(s) may only be effected once we have received cleared funds in our account. For Purchasers wishing to pay by bank transfer our bank account details are as follows:

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 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 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.
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.

Reg No: NJ 3641
MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: 762575
This supremely characterful two-door Model Y has history from 1958, when it was painted Black and owned by Keith Jesse Pannett of Bromley, Kent. In 1959, it was bought by Elsie Walker of nearby Hayes. She changed the colour to Blue in 1960 and gave the car to her son—our vendor—as a present in 1963. Necessary renovations then took the best part of forty years, with the vendor treating it as a do-it-yourself job to begin with, even making some of his own tools. After the engine was overhauled, the project stalled following a bereavement, and when the vendor resumed work in 1998 he enlisted a professional to speed its completion. After renovating the fuel pump, fitting a reconditioned carburettor and a new coil, remaking the driver’s seat base and completing the trimming of the rear seat, the vendor finished the work himself in the mid-2000s.
In regular use locally since its completion, ‘NJ 3641’ is supplied with a large history file including the current V5C, the 1958 buff logbook, an original 1932-1959 933cc & 1,172cc Parts List, a Ford Popular Instruction Book, an historic mileage log, assorted invoices from 2004 onwards, and several MOT certificates and tax discs.
Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*
Reg No: E959 HFG MOT: March 2027 Chassis No: TW7XKFP3285781701
With the intention of providing a lightweight scout vehicle for the British Army, BMC inadvertently created a Swinging Sixties icon - the Mini-derived Moke. Reputedly one of six Portuguese-built Mini Mokes to have been customised by Austin Rover dealer Blandy Bros of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, chassis TW7XKFP3285781701 is further understood to have been supplied new to the Casa Dromedario on Lanzarote. Still wearing the latter’s logo on its bonnet, modifications are believed to have included: a prominent rollover bar, bespoke upholstery, faux wood trims (as per ‘The Prisoner’ Moke), and 12-inch alloy wheels. Relocating to the Casa Dromedario proprietor’s native Germany in 1997 where it apparently saw service at one of his Schlosses, the four-seater still bears signage declaring ‘vor kälte schützen’ (protect from cold) and ‘schwimmweste unter ihrem sitz’ (life vest under your seat). Fitted with a reconditioned 998cc A-Series engine eighteen years later, ‘E959 HFG’ currently shows a credible but unwarranted c.12,500km (c.7,800 miles). Showing signs of what is presumed to be the original factory wax coating to its engine bay and inner wheelarches etc., it retains a distinctly 1980s vibe. Offered for sale with Swansea V5C, history file and full weather equipment.

Reg No: KVT 660K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: GHN52603889
This MGB was despatched on September 24th, 1971, to the Hanley Garage of Stoke-on-Trent, and first registered that November to Norman Morley of nearby Meirheath. As built, it was painted Blaze with Navy trim and a Black hood, plus Rostyle wheels, overdrive and a heater. It was acquired by its twelfth owner, Mr. Phillip Spokes, in 1988. He sold it in 1989, but bought it back again in 1994.
It appears to have been Mr. Spokes who conducted a very thorough restoration. A large file of invoices spans 1988 to 2000, with extensive works undertaken in 1989 and 1995. An undated written record explains how the MG was stripped back to a bare shell and restored with many new panels, with a large photographic record detailing the work. The car participated in the MG Owners’ Club’s National Concours in 1995 and 1996.
Since 2005, the MG has seen only sporadic use. We believe it to be in good order mechanically as it passed an MOT with no advisories in 2024. It is supplied with the current V5C, photocopies of the original logbook and old V5s, many invoices and MOTs, photographs of the bodywork restoration, and a BMIHT certificate.
Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*
Reg No: MYB 78 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: MSC122868
The Bedford M series was a line of commercial vehicle chassis, the first variants of which were made in 1939. A normal control 4-wheel chassis designed to carry loads of 2-3 tons, there were two wheelbase lengths offered – 10’ 0” or 11’ 11” – and each was fitted with a standard 3.5-litre OHV 6-cylinder petrol engine developing 76 bhp. A 4-speed gearbox with single dry plate clutch delivered power to a floating rear axle with spiral bevel final drive. Brakes were Lockheed hydraulic type and Clayton Dewandre vacuum assisted operating on all four wheels. Production of the M-Type ceased in 1953 when it was replaced with the TA model.
Featured in multiple previous magazine articles MYB 78 was based in Somerset for 50 years being used as a log delivery wagon having been first registered on 23rd August 1950. Finished in green with a black interior it is now entered from a private collection of commercial vehicles. Although there is a buff logbook on file, a Swansea V5C will need to be applied for by the new owner.
1 of just 1,286 home market cars
Estimate: £12,000 - £15,000*
Reg No: YYA 377 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: TS17027
Introduced in 1955, the Triumph TR3 contested everything from the Monte Carlo Rally to the Sebring 12-Hours via the Mille Miglia. Powered by a 2-litre engine allied to four-speed manual transmission (with optional overdrive), the newcomer was capable of over 100mph. Tough and agile thanks to its box-section chassis, independent front suspension and responsive steering, the model gained front disc brakes during 1956. America accounted for the vast majority with only 1,286 being allocated to the home market.
First registered in Somerset on June 1st 1957 (or so its ‘YYA 377’ number plate would imply), chassis TS17027 is understood to have had just three registered keepers from new; the first and second of whom retained it for twenty-five and thirty-three years respectively. Believed, like so many of its siblings, to have seen past competition usage, the Triumph has self-evidently benefited from various restoration works over the years. Treated to a new tonneau cover to complement its hood and sidescreens in 2017, the TR3 had attention paid to its ignition system, carburettors and front disc brakes during 2020. Deemed by the seller to be ‘great fun to drive’, ‘YYA 377’ is now looking for its next long-term custodian.

Reg No: DOR 798K MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 37186
Based on a design exercise by Swedish-born Pelle Petterson, the P1800 was unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. The sleek monocoque bodyshell featured independent front suspension, coil-sprung ‘live’ rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the 2+2 could top 100mph. P1800 assembly was transferred from the UK to Sweden in April 1963. Best remembered as Roger Moore’s steed in ‘The Saint’ TV series which ran from 1962 until 1969, it has long been a cult classic. The original engine was replaced in 1969 by the 2-litre B20 unit, itself upgraded a year later with revised camshaft and fuel injection. The resulting output was 130bhp - sufficient to power the Volvo to 62mph in 9.5 seconds and on to 120mph. Four-wheel disc brakes were added at the same time.
Self-evidently the subject of an older restoration, DOR 798K has spent a period in dry storage and will require recommissioning before returning to the road. Finished in a very ‘Saint’ like colour scheme of white complemented by a black interior it is offered with a history file and current V5c document.
Warranted 4,900 miles from new
Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*
Reg No: R404 BNO MOT: None Chassis No: VF31CKFXE52202329
The Peugeot 106 supermini was produced by Peugeot between 1991 and 2003. An entry level offering throughout its production life, it was initially sold only as a three-door hatchback, with a five-door joining the range at the beginning of 1992. Production ended in July 2003. The Quicksilver model, powered by a 75 bhp 1.4-litre engine, featured door badges and extra features like electric windows over the standard offering. As such they are more sought after and carry a premium over their more basic siblings.
In single ownership from new and having covered a warranted 4,900 miles this 106 XR Quicksilver is a far cry from the usual examples, most of which have been questionably modified and over upgraded by many a boy racer owner. It is therefore refreshing to see a standard looking and pampered example. Dry stored and kept on trickle charge, it was supplied by Page (Chelmsford) Ltd in June 1998 and retains their decal on the rear window to this day. A later example as evidenced by the Quicksilver badge near the passenger airbag it is offered with a history file and current V5c document.
Two owners and just 40,000 miles
Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*
Reg No: SV53 HHE MOT: December 2026 Chassis No: SALLMAMC34A145681
Land Rover agents Ruettes Braye of the Channel Islands supplied ‘SV53 HHE’ as new to the previous owner (a resident of Jersey) on 30th October 2003. Finished in the rare Giverny Green with matching leather interior upholstery with Cream piping, this is a well-specified Vogue example. A pleasingly original example, the Range Rover is understood to boast all of its factory paintwork and displays the supplying dealer’s window sticker. Accompanying the previous owner upon his return to reside in Scotland in 2006, the L322 Range Rover is now offered as a warranted remarkably low-mileage, 40,000-mile example. Retained by the vendor for over twenty years (always being garaged during his ownership), until sold by H&H in February 2025 to the sadly, now late, vendor. Notably less worked than many a Range Rover, the ‘SV53 HHE’ has also been well serviced, as illustrated in the accompanying stamped service book and collection of invoices that show a total of ten services, the most recent being completed in November 2024 at 38,658 miles. The service book is presented in the full book pack with the Land Rover wallet, alongside MOT history and a current V5C, showing two former keepers as now in the late vendor’s wife’s name. Benefitting from a new battery in January 2025, the Range Rover started readily and ran well on our visit.
Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000*
Reg No: AJZ 340 MOT: May 2026
Chassis No: TMX51W1A1057
Offering classic 1960’s looks but with the confidence and reliability that current technology brings, the Sebring TMX offers performance and excitement aplenty at a reduced cost of an original Big Healey. This superb looking car was built by Sebring sports cars in 2007 and although inspired by the Austin-Healey this is no kit car. Beautifully built to a very high standard and quality, since construction it has always been enthusiast owned and has toured Europe, visited Le Mans and been enjoyed at owners club and touring events. Described as being in superb condition and quite obviously the vendor’s pride and joy, it has covered just 38,420 miles.
Powered by a 4.6-litre Rover V8 coupled to 5 speed manual transmission, it is said to run and drive beautifully and to sound amazing. The interior has been trimmed to the highest standard in leather with wool carpets. Heated BMW M seats, electric windows, wind deflector, remote central locking and stainless steel luggage rack make it very useable and it comes complete with weather gear including a navy blue mohair soft top and matching hood cover. Capable of accommodating taller drivers, it is accompanied by a huge history file with numerous invoices, build manual, photographs from the build, Swansea V5C and current MOT to May 2026.
Restored to a very high standard
Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*
Reg No: BS 9698 MOT: Exempt Chassis No: SABTVR03522097295
The earliest records of this French-built Citroën begin in 1988, when it was sold by dealer David Baldock, painted Yellow and Black and in need of restoration, to the late Gyles Cooper, who began a long-term restoration which culminated with its registration in 2005. The chassis and back axle were restored by Classic Restorations in 1990. Sutton Rebore Services attended to the engine in 1992. Mechanical work continued with Nigel Reilly Engineering between 1996 and 1997, and the bodywork was restored between 1998 and 2001 by S. R. Duncan, with a repaint in British Leyland Tahiti Blue. Following registration in 2005, the Citroën has been enjoyed with the VSCC and the Vintage Citroën Register.
Between 2007 and 2013, £7,000 was spent with Keith Pointing, which included a new hood and tonneau in 2008, a new petrol tank in 2009, and a new clutch and steering box overhaul in 2013. Sadly, Mr. Cooper died in 2019, but the Citroën has continued to be looked after by his family. It is offered with a huge file including the current V5C; the 1988 sales invoice; many invoices, technical drawings and technical articles in English and French; a VSCC Eligibility Document; and an original English 12-24hp instruction book.

Hailing from the ‘bank vault’ era of Mercedes-Benz build quality, the 190 proved a landmark design. Supplied new to a British diplomat whilst he was stationed in Germany, chassis A313888 pleasingly retains its original order form and bill of sale. Finished in special order Anthracite Grey Metallic, the Mercedes-Benz’s build specification also included a sunroof, Beige cloth upholstery, Becker Europa stereo, foldout rear armrest, central locking, ABS brakes, front / rear headrests, 2-litre fuel-injected engine and five-speed manual transmission. Imported to the UK by its first owner during 1993, the 190E remained in his family’s possession until 2021 when it passed to the current (third) registered keeper. Main dealer maintained in Germany and the UK up to 112,304KM (c.70,000 miles), the saloon currently displays some 121,250KM (c.75,600 miles) and is understood to have been serviced twenty-nine times. Recalibrated for unleaded and treated to a new clutch at 117,149km (c.73,000 miles), ‘C937 VPM’ is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Like BMW’s E30 3-Series, the Mercedes-Benz 190E now commands something of a cult following. Well suited to Continental usage, this special order and notably well-preserved LHD example is offered for sale with V5C and voluminous history file.

This pretty special was conceived in the mid-1960s by Bob Reeve of South London, a retired engineer and Riley enthusiast. Starting with a 12/4 (22T) Lynx chassis, Reeve shortened it by 15in. to 7ft. 9in. and started work on the the sports body, but a house move forced him to abandon the project. It was taken over by John McMichael, who collected many mechanical parts, mostly from a Riley Nine Merlin, including an engine and Armstrong pre-selector gearbox. Sadly, he died while it was in progress, and the project was completed by Chris Daniell between in 1992, with the Special Series engine being overhauled and the bodywork, trim and painting being undertaken by specialists. Mr. Daniell covered some 10,000 miles over about ten years before a growing family forced him to sell it, and it was purchased by a long-term owner in 2002.
The new owner enjoyed the special for many years, covering 20,000 miles or more with lots of Continental touring. It is now offered for sale by an enthusiastic collector, and is supplied with much paperwork including history and correspondence, invoices from the early 2000s, MOTs dating back to 2001, original Pre-Selectagear instructions, and a vast pile of technical writings and diagrams.

Frazer Nash produced eighty-three examples of its TT Replica model between 1932 and 1938, some fifty-six of which were powered by either 1½-litre four-cylinder engines by Meadows or Gough, and twenty-seven featured the 1.6-litre Blackburne unit—the first six-cylinder engine ever fitted to a Frazer Nash. A sophisticated double overhead-camshaft design crafted by H. J. Hatch of Burney & Blackburne Ltd., it was intended to broaden the marque’s appeal beyond the hardcore enthusiast. Reputed to develop some 75bhp at 5,000rpm, its gentle torque curve and notable smoothness were in sharp contrast to the Meadows unit upon which Frazer Nash had come to rely so heavily.
Looking remarkably good even in its unfinished state, this delightful Frazer Nash has been assembled over several years by a well-known vintage sports-car enthusiast, who has now sadly had to abandon the project for health reasons. Presented broadly in the style of a TT Replica, albeit with the lively two-litre AC engine, which many ’Nash owners have opted to install ever since the cars were nearly new, it is very much a blank canvas which the new owner may complete to his or her personal taste.
It is our understanding that the front and rear axles, and the steering box, are original Frazer Nash parts, though we encourage bidders to make their own inspections. Unfortunately, the chassis has no recognised identity at present, by following the necessary procedures, one might be able to be obtained through the Frazer Nash Car Club. TT Replicas raced extensively and successfully in period, and continue to be raced with good results today in the VSCC. This has the potential to be a very competitive machine, but it may provide even greater enjoyment simply as a well-finished road-going sports car—the choice is yours.

Last of the MG T-series line, the TF was introduced in October 1953. Equipped with rack-and-pinion steering and independent front suspension, it helped maintain the marque’s ‘Safety Fast’ reputation. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis TF/5983 was completed on June 10th 1954 to ‘home market’ specification. Supplied new in East Suffolk (or so its ‘PRT 339’ number plate would imply), the MG had been taken off the road by the late 1970s when the DVLA computerised its records. Acquired by C. Bravery Esq of Kent in 1996, the TF had its chassis galvanised, body tub renewed, engine overhauled, gearbox / rear axle checked, wiring loom replaced and instruments professionally refurbished before passing to M. Baxter Esq of Bedfordshire fourteen years later. Entrusted to restorer Brian Ritchie in 2011, the two-seater had its front wings reprofiled and bodywork tided before being repainted in its original Black hue. The interior was re-trimmed in Red leather with matching carpets and weather gear. Re-registered with the DVLA on June 10th 2014 (sixty years after it rolled off the Abingdon production line), the MG has been further improved during the current ownership. The engine’s appearance, performance and sound have been enhanced with a chrome ‘MG nut’ rocker cover, tubular extractor performance manifold and stainless steel exhaust system respectively. New 15 x 4.5 wire wheels shod with Pirelli Cinturato have been installed and the paintwork both machine polished and ceramic coated. Ladywood Garage of Chesterfield overhauled the brakes, tuned the carburettors and replaced the nearside front wheel bearing etc at a cost of some £1,596.96 in February 2026. Worthy of close inspection, this decidedly smart, ‘home market’ TF is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file (including restoration photos) and MOT certificate valid until August 2026.

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-litre Fixed Head Coupes were made.
One of just 1,583 RHD 4.2-litre Fixed Head Coupes produced, FVH 552C is finished in Carmen Red bodywork with a reupholstered Biscuit leather interior which includes trimming to the dashboard. First UK registered on 24 August 1965, it is described by the vendor as being ‘on the button’ and is accompanied by a current Swansea V5C document.

Despite Donald Healey’s efforts to reinvent Triumph as the British equivalent of Alfa Romeo, the firm was essentially bankrupt by 1939. Subsequently revitalised by Standard impresario Sir John Black, Triumph was able to launch two new models - the 1800 Saloon and 1800 Roadster - during 1946. The 1800 Roadster, model number 18TR, had been designed in the closing days of World War II, Triumph having been bought by the Standard Motor Company in 1944, and Sir John, wanted a sports car to take on Jaguar, which had used Standard engines in the pre-war period.
Styled by Frank Callaby, the Triumph 1800 Roadster was a flamboyant mix of 1930s styling and boasted reputedly the last dickie seat to be incorporated into a production car. Bodied in ‘Birmabright’ aluminium alloy over ash (save for steel pontoon front wings), the Roadster was underpinned by a tubular ladder-frame chassis featuring independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1776cc OHV four-cylinder engine (shared with the contemporary Jaguar range) allied to four-speed column-change manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 80mph. Superseded by a larger-engined version in 1948, just 2,501 1800 Roadsters are thought to have been made.
Subject to a comprehensive 3 year restoration completed in 2002 and accompanied by a DVD documenting photographs of the work, this multiple show winner is described by the vendor as being in exceptional condition. Finished most attractively with dark blue bodywork and blue hood over a contrasting cream leather interior, it is fitted with the original 1,776cc engine mated driving through a column-change 4-speed manual gearbox. Extremely well known to the owner’s club, it presents outstandingly well and is offered for sale with a history file including aforementioned DVD, original buff logbook and Swansea V5C.

Among the rarest of all post-WW2 Bentleys, just 558 examples of the T2 were made between 1977 and 1980. Indeed, fewer than ten per cent of the bodyshells were marketed as Bentleys before the final Shadow IIs and T2s were replaced by the longer, wider, lower and more expensive R-R Silver Spirit and Bentley Mulsanne. Powered by a 6750cc V8 engine allied to a silky-smooth Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission, the hedonistic four-seater featured rack and pinion steering, improved air conditioning, more pedestrian friendly bumpers and a revised fascia.
Finished in Chestnut metallic with beige Everflex roof and beige hide, this T2 has been subject to much mechanical work carried out by Mulsanne Motors GT Ltd of Dalkeith, Midlothian, between 2024 and 2025. Invoices on file for this period total some £3,000.

The Vauxhall Brava traced its roots to the Isuzu Faster - a compact pickup truck manufactured and marketed by Isuzu between 1972 and 2002 over three generations. It was sold under myriad nameplates and marketed under a number of other brands from the General Motors portfolio. In the United Kingdom, the third generation pickup was called Isuzu TF and also Bedford Brava from 1988 until 1991 when the Bedford brand was dropped and it became the Vauxhall Brava.
On offer today is a rare opportunity to obtain what is quite possibly the only unregistered and delivery mileage (with just c.100 miles recorded) example of a Vauxhall Brava in the UK. The vendor informs us this Brava was delivered new to Luton college (Luton being the home of Vauxhall’s Luton plant from 1905 to 2025) as an apprentice training vehicle.

Issued with the distinctive London numberplate ‘WUU 450S’ on June 13th 1978, this decidedly rare, fuel-injected XJ12 Seres II is thought to have spent its life in and around the nation’s capital. Granted a tax disc by Marylebone post office during January 1983, the Jaguar had relocated to Waltham Cross six years later. Acquired by its current registered keeper in 1990, assorted bills show that the four-seater had attention paid to its GM THM400 automatic gearbox (shift kit, torque converter, mount), engine and suspension bushes plus a replacement sill that same decade. Dry stored for the past quarter century or so, ‘WUU 450S’ is understood to have passed its most recent MOT test on November 18th 2000 at an indicated 57,932 miles (circa twelve miles ago). Pleasingly retaining what is thought to be its original Dark Blue leather upholstery, the XJ12 appears to be substantially solid and complete. Treated to a new ignition set during 2019 and apparently in running order shortly thereafter, the Jaguar has since lain dormant and now requires thorough recommissioning / renovation.

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”. 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.

Unveiled at the 1957 London Motor Show, the Elite (Type 14) was Colin Chapman’s first production road car and the world’s first fibreglass monocoque (contributing 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. The work of Peter Kirwin-Taylor, aerodynamicist Frank Costin and John Frayling, the Coupé’s sleek silhouette is still considered a masterpiece. Unsurprisingly, given its radical design (and Chapman’s budget constraints), the first running prototype did not emerge until May 10th, 1958. Driven straight to Silverstone by Ian Walker, it promptly won a production sports car race against 1,600cc opposition. As successful abroad as on British circuits, the Elite won its class at Le Mans every year from 1959 to 1964. When the Series II appeared, it brought improvements to the rear suspension and the interior, as well as the option of higher-performance engines such as the twin-Weber Super 95 option, so named for its claimed 95bhp.
Believed to be one of a very limited number of “double dimple” Elites, supposedly built to a higher standard, this rarer, more desirable ‘Special Equipment’ example was purchased by the vendor in 1969 and treated to a full restoration between 2011 and 2013. Now presenting very well in Primrose Yellow with the traditional Series 2 silver roof over a black leather interior, it is supplied with a spare engine and spare Weber carburettors. Accompanied by a truly remarkable history file, with invoices dating back to 1970, maintenance manuals, Club Elite official letters, and a photo album documenting the restoration.

The huge bonnet bulge gives away that this is no ordinary Morgan, as it conceals two Weber 42DCOE carburettors—hallmarks of Lawrencetune’s Plus 4 Super Sports, along with the “Low Line” rear bodywork and full aluminium panelling. One of 104 Super Sports produced, of which ninety-six were two-seaters, ‘JMD 111B’ was originally Green and its specification included “Lawrencetuned engine and oil cooler. Aluminium wings, bonnet and body. Wire wheels. Nylon tyres.” It was despatched in July, 1964, to Lawrencetune Engines of Acton, and registered the next day. A year later, it was sold to Peter Hahn of Radlett, Hertfordshire, and in 1970 he sold it to the present owner in County Durham.
The earliest invoice is from the 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 Techniques Morgan 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 interior is in superb original condition. The Morgan has required little further attention, though it received new Avon tyres in 2021, and a new battery in 2025.
For several decades, the Morgan has been a hobby car, and has seen the lightest of use over the past twenty years; fewer than 300 miles separate the 2007 odometer reading from the present one of just over 33,100. Paperwork includes a copy of the original green logbook, a copy of Mr. Hahn’s handwritten sale receipt, the 1970-71 tax disc, several invoices and a copy of the Morgan factory’s chassis records are on file.

Finished in the charming but rare colour scheme of Aston Martin Racing Green with a Green hood and an interior in Green and Fawn leather, it has quite obviously only seen sparing use. Its maintenance record begins just after it was acquired by the previous long-term keeper in February, 2009, with an invoice from JCT600 for £1,794, issued in July, 2009, at 23,031 miles. JCT600 then performed work totalling £3,402 at 27,316 miles in February, 2010, and in July, 2010, it received attention from Lancaster Sevenoaks totalling £863.
The then-owner was to keep the DB7 for sixteen years, although it had been in dry storage since 2012 by the time he decided to sell it to our vendor in May, 2025. There then followed, throughout October and November, 2025, an extensive programme of recommissioning by well-respected Aston Martin specialist George Edward. Expenditure around this time exceeded £10,000, and involved replacement Vantage fuel pumps, a brake overhaul, new tyres and a comprehensive service. Further work, including a fresh service, was completed by Lewmark Ltd. of Cricklewood in April, 2026. This cost £2,500 and also included paintwork repairs and refurbishment of the alloy wheels. Prospective bidders will be pleased to know that this car is fitted with a tracker.

Manufactured on the 19th September 1950, chassis 640080 was clothed in factory ‘three-position’ drop-head coachwork; It was sold in RHD configuration by the UK agents Lewis and Hodgkin on the 29th November that year. Purchased new by a high-ranking RAF officer by the name of Brian Arthur Scott, he had the car shipped to West Africa, before bringing it home with him in 1953. It sold to two owners in the South of England around 1962/63, before passing to a. Mr. Sidwell who kept it for a decade. He then sold it to a Mr. Edwards in 1991 for (a reputed) £27,500, equivalent to £64,000 in ‘today’s money’!

After the discontinuation of the Thames brand in 1965 the NC was re-designated as the K Series. Ford Europe would not step in again on the normal control heavy-duty van segment until 1973 with the Ford A-Series, which was based on the smaller Ford Transit.

Built around a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, it was powered by the same engine as its predecessor. Designed by Arthur Davidson, this four-cylinder unit featured twin high-mounted camshafts and fully machined hemispherical combustion chambers.

The Jaguar had two owners between 1997 and 2004, and it was then acquired by our vendor’s father, who kept it until he passed away last year. This owner of twenty-one years took excellent care of the Jaguar and preserved it in wonderful condition, but he very seldom drove it, as its sporadic MOT record testifies. In 2004, it had covered 35,230 miles. In 2011, that increased to 35,290; it stood at 35,292 in 2012 and 35,333 in 2016. Since reaching 35,773 miles that year, it has not been on the road.
The E-Type’s wonderful condition very much gives the impression that the mileage is original. While the exterior may have been repainted, the interior is in quite a remarkable state of preservation and originality. Now in need of recommissioning (though it has been running in the past year), it represents a wonderful project for a practical enthusiast, and we are sure it could be driving well ready for summer. It is supplied with much history, including the current V5C, photocopies of the original logbook and old V5s, MOTs dating back to 1998, tax discs, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, original Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbooks, a wiring diagram and some old photographs.

Chassis No: DBS/5173/R
The Aston Martin V8 engine had been in development by Marek since 1963 and, initially, was designed with a single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank, but finished development in twin-cam form. First fitted to Marek’s own DB5 in 1965 with crossover intake manifolds and a pair of twin-choke side-draught Weber carburettors, it was used extensively and proved its performance values well. By this period, Aston Martin had disbanded its works racing team, so it was decided to trial the new V8 in racing form by supplying it to Lola for the T70 Mk. III. This engine would be extensively reworked during this period due to issues with lubrication in the crankshaft area, which caused the Aston Martin-Lola to last only twenty-five laps at Le Mans in 1967. However, after extensive redevelopment and the fitment of the V8 into two DBS prototypes during 1967, the future started to look brighter.
Chassis DBS/5173/R is understood to have been delivered originally as a six-cylinder, five-speed DBS by A. J. Beal Ltd. to the prolific car collector Nigel Dawes on October 23rd, 1968, and was registered with Mr. Dawes’ personal registration number ‘1230 ND’. According to works records supplied to the vendor by Aston Engineering of Derby, DBS/5173/R was fitted with a new ZF gearbox on September 25th, 1969, and it is believed this was in preparation for the fitment of the ex-Lola developmental V8 engine that was to be fitted in March, 1970. The Lola-Aston engine, numbered ‘V500/013/P’ (‘P’ for Prototype), came complete with four side-draught twin-choke Weber carburettors on cross-over intake manifolds plus two steel air boxes, the height of which necessitated enlarging the bonnet scoop and strengthening the aluminium structure with box-section steel which is still present today. Production variants of the DBS V8 would utilise fuel injection instead of carburettors, meaning the larger bonnet scoop would not be necessary. It is therefore believed that DBS/5173/R was the first privately owned DBS V8, as the production cars wouldn’t be delivered until some months later.
Little is known of the subsequent history of this one-off Aston Martin, as the car was sold by Mr. Dawes’s family due to his ill health and little information is available other than the works records and editorial information available in Aston Martin V8s by E. Wilson McComb and Aston Martin DB: 70 Years by Andrew Noakes; copies of both publications accompany the DBS to the sale. It is understood, however, that the Aston was sympathetically restored some years ago in its original colour of Lagoon Blue, retaining its very original, but hardly worn, Black leather interior, and the vendor has advised that in 2023 a ‘full fluids’ service was performed, along with wheel refurbishment and fitment of new Weber carburettors at the same time, and it has been cherished since then, forming part of his extensive private collection as a static but running exhibit. Now presenting very well and recently benefitting from work to the braking system, this unique muscle car-grand tourer hybrid would be one of the crowning glories of any Aston Martin collection, and would be a major talking point at events.

Entering the current ownership during 1996, the past decade has reportedly seen ‘NBP 295R’ benefit from much mechanical and cosmetic work. The rear valance, floorpans, inner / outer sills and lower panels surrounding the fuel tanks have all been replaced (as have the tanks themselves). The rear axle has been treated to new bushes, mounts, trailing arms and fuel / brake lines. The steering column has been renewed as have the track rod ends and upper / lower ball joints. The torque convertor has been refurbished, the interior cleaned and fresh carpets fitted. A new vinyl roof has been installed and the car fully resprayed. Just last year some £7,100 was spent with Cracknells of Thurston on recommissioning with attention paid to the viscous coupling, fuel pumps, front brake callipers, carburettors, ignition system and wiring plus a full service (engine, gearbox and differential oils changed). The upholstery looks to be original and lends credence to the odometer reading of circa 97,000 miles. However, the paintwork is now suffering from a variety of splits, bubbles and blemishes. Starting readily upon inspection, this rare Daimler is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, service history and MOT certificate valid until November 2026.
Originally painted Oriental Blue with Grey trim, this Lagonda was despatched to Brooklands of Bond Street on August 24th, 1950, and registered the same day. Its first owner was logged as “C. R. Casson Ltd., now Everett’s” of 29, Hertford Street, London W.1. After a few subsequent owners in or near London, its tax expired in 1981 and it went to France for almost thirty years. A new British V5C was issued in 2010, and by 2013 it had been acquired by our vendor’s father, a longstanding enthusiast of thoroughbred cars.
In 2013 our vendor spent £1,733 with Century Classics, treating the Lagonda to a general service, a carburettor overhaul, a replacement SU fuel pump and a new stainless steel exhaust. It has since been enjoyed in occasional use, and presents well having evidently received an older restoration. It is said to be a delight to drive, having been converted to a floor-mounted gear-change. It is supplied with a well-stocked history file including the current V5C, an original 2½ Litre Instruction Book, some invoices and MOTs issued since 2010, a copy of the 2.6 and 3 Litre Workshop Manual, the Lagonda Club Technical Information Manual, copies of Lagonda factory records and correspondence from the Lagonda Club.

This car was built on February 2nd, 1950, and was sold new through the Strowd Motor Co. of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to a local man, Dr. R. W. Bost, in part-exchange for his 1947 Ford Tudor. It remained in the Bost family until 1989, and the second owner began a restoration, apparently using only new old-stock parts. It stayed in Carolina with its third owner, then had two further owners before it was sold through eBay in 2008 and imported to England, being registered with the DVLA in March, 2009. Due to a badly cracked block, the then-owner fitted a replacement engine from the Early Ford Centre, added screen washers for MOT purposes and wired flashing indicators into the original lights. He fitted a rare accessory fog lamp in the place of the original ‘bullet’ grille ornament and sourced a non-catalogued mascot thought to have been a unique prototype.
The car has been in the present ownership since 2015 and is supplied with its original sales invoice, written history, import documents, MOTs from 2009 to 2012, the original owner’s manual and service policy, and an original 1949-51 Ford shop manual.

Twenty-five years after its triumphant introduction, what’s now known as the Range Rover ‘Classic’ gave way to the second generation of the model (code name P38A). By then the Rover’s original workmanlike persona had been completely transformed - long gone were the hose-down rubber flooring and basic trim, which had been replaced by increasingly deep pile carpets, leather upholstery and wood finishings. The newcomer brought a strengthened chassis and less boxy exterior, while power was now provided by upgraded 4.0-litre and 4.6-litre versions of Rover’s ubiquitous all-alloy V8 engine as well as a diesel derivative using the six-cylinder 2.5-litre engine.
Supplied new by Sturgess (Land Rover) Ltd of Leicester in February 2002, this Range Rover has just 1 former keeper recorded and has covered c.86,100 miles from new. It is offered with owner’s handbooks and service book, printed service history record, a collection of invoices, current MOT to September 2026 and Swansea V5C. Recent works include replacement of the air pump in December 2025 with recent maintenance carried out by MCC (Hull) Ltd (invoices on file). Temptingly it is offered without reserve.

Chassis No: CRH7371
Hand-crafted by Mulliner Park Ward, the Silver Shadow Two-Door Saloon was introduced in 1966. The work of in-house stylist W.G. Allen, the saloon-cum-coupe boasted wonderfully sleek lines. Blending speed with refinement in a way that few rivals could match, it was powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to automatic transmission. Trimmed with a superlative mix of sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets, the model was every bit as luxurious as it was expensive (an Aston Martin DB6 or Ferrari 365GT 2+2 was relatively cheap by comparison). Despite being in production for five years, just 571 MPW Two-Door Saloons are thought to have been made (369 RHD / 202 LHD).
Previously registered as ’31 DAN’ and ‘SHK 4K’, chassis CRH3731 had acquired its current ‘EGU 406H’ number plate by the time that S. Barrow Esq bought it from marque specialist Ghost Motor Works Ltd for £41,050 on September 23rd 2010 (part exchanging a sister car in the process). Immediately treated to a paintwork refresh and new stereo at a cost of £10,786.50, Mr Barrow thereafter entrusted the Coupe’s maintenance and improvement to Jack Barclay Ltd with whom he spent more than £33,000 including attention to the air-conditioning, ride height control valve and seat motors etc. Briefly belonging to famous Rolls-Royce and Bentley dealers Frank Dale & Stepson, the Silver Shadow Two-Door was purchased by its current registered keeper on March 10th 2014. The past twelve years have seen ‘EGU 406H’ looked after by DEW Car Services (£3,713.05), Sargeants of Goudhurst (£4,522.18) and the renowned P&A Wood (£30,871.85) with the latter previously valuing it at £60,000.
Although twin SU carburettors sit atop the 6230cc V8 engine, their role has been supplanted by a Classic Fuel Injection system installed at a cost of £3,886.59. Passing a MOT test on April 7th 2026 at an indicated 97,072 miles with ‘no advisories’, the Rolls-Royce has nevertheless just been treated to a new hydraulic pump and replacement rear spheres by Shadow Services at a cost of £2,398.95. Thus, the past sixteen years and 14,000 miles have seen approximately £90,000 spent on the Coupe. Finished in rich Peaccock Blue Metallic with Dark Blue-piped Magnolia leather upholstery, it remains a decidedly impressive motorcar. Indeed, we doubt that many of its surviving siblings have had as much lavished on them. Worthy of close inspection, this stunning Silver Shadow Two-Door is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, tool kit and MOT certificate valid until April 2027.

The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 were produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1971 until 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by the automaker after the G-Class. They were badged accordingly, indicating the displacement of the engines. The R107/SL was a two-seat convertible with a detachable roof. It replaced the W113 SL-Class in 1971 and was replaced by the R129 SL-Class in 1989.
The ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz’s renowned R107-series, the 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Equipped with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel-injection, its in-line SOHC M103 2962cc engine developed some 177bhp and 188lbft of torque (outputs sufficient for a reputed 125mph top speed). Sharing the same two-door monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it further benefited from improved anti-corrosion treatment and ABS brakes. Only in production between 1985 and 1989, just 13,443 300SLs are thought to have been despatched worldwide making them a rarity in right-hand drive. When fitted, a matching hardtop helped ensure the occupants kept warm and snug on winter days, making the SL a comfortable proposition as an all season daily driver.
Displaying a warranted c.41,000 miles from new this attractive 1987 example is finished in red over a cream leather interior with a matching original hardtop. Described by the vendor as “excellent” in every aspect, it is offered for sale with a history file, original Owner’s bookpack, Swansea V5C showing just 2 former keepers and a current MOT to March 2027.

Everything about the Bentley Continental Supersports was engineered for a single purpose: to deliver the most exhilarating driving experience possible from behind the wheel of a Bentley. Only around 1,800 Supersports were produced between 2009 and 2011, of which 1,207 were coupés. It is reckoned that just 500 were produced in right-hand drive.
The Supersports flew like a bat out of hell, and this example has the looks to match, being finished in the rare and rather menacing combination of Magnetic Grey with the interior, including the optional Comfort seats, trimmed with Beluga leather. Charcoal Alcantara has been used for the headlining. It’s not all dark and brooding, though—the first owner specified the interior with marvellously vivid bright Yellow piping, stitching and dash colouring, though the centre console retains its carbon fibre finish. Smoked headlight and rear light lenses and tinted windows further enhance the Bentley’s appearance.
Our Supersports has been very well cared for by its five previous owners, and across the fifteen years of its life, it has covered a modest 108,300 miles and been sympathetically maintained all the while. Ten stamped services were performed by Bentley main dealers up to August, 2020, when the mileage stood at 79,708. An eleventh stamp was issued by Lewmark Ltd. of Cricklewood in April, 2026, at 108,300 miles following some extensive refurbishment, which included replacing the handbrake assembly and the starter motor battery, repairing the boot lift motor, and changing the oil and filters. When new, the Continental GT Supersports offered the perfect marriage of supercar performance with grand tourer luxury. Both of these qualities remain undiminished in this superb example, which is supplied with two working keys, the leather-bound instruction book, the Quick Reference Guide, the service book, the current V5C, an HPI report and the current MOT certificate valid until January, 2027.

Developed by Ford’s Special Vehicle Engineering Department, the Escort RS Turbo broke cover in October 1984. Far more than a souped-up XR3i, the newcomer featured heavy-duty suspension, improved brakes, and a viscous coupling limited slip differential (the latter a road car first). A production run of 5,000 was planned to homologate the model for Group A competition but demand was such that 8,604 were made (with 5,576 being UK supplied). Only available in Diamond White - except for Lady Diana Spencer’s unique Black example - the three-door hatchback sported a comprehensive body kit and was powered by a turbocharged 1597cc CVH four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With some 132bhp and 133lbft of torque on tap, the ‘fast Ford’ was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and 128mph.
Described by Motor Sport magazine as “perhaps the most enjoyable hot hatch currently available on the British market”, the Escort RS Turbo attracted a cult following that has gone from strength to strength, and with the model approaching its 40th anniversary, good examples are proving to be a very shrewd investment.
This comprehensively restored example was subject to a meticulous 7 year restoration and is finished naturally in the iconic colour combination of Diamond White, matched to a grey Recaro interior. First registered on 20th March 1986, it is one of just 5,576 UK-supplied examples and is offered with a history file, photographs from the restoration, current MOT to April 2027 and Swansea V5C.

This iteration incorporated notable technological enhancements, including a lighter and stiffer bodyshell, improved suspension and brakes, upgraded four-valve cylinder heads, and an enhanced HVAC system. In terms of design, the 997-series took a more classical approach, combining timeless styling elements with modern aesthetics. At its launch, the 997 was available in Carrera or Carrera S variants. The Carrera model featured a 3.6-litre engine producing 321bhp and 273 lb-ft of torque, mated to a choice of either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic transmission. With impressive performance figures, including a 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 178mph, the 997 Carrera offered a thrilling driving experience. Furthermore, its superior build quality, refined aesthetics, and agile nature positioned it as a desirable choice, making well-preserved examples of the 997 increasingly sought after by collectors.

The DB9 was the first model to come from Aston Martin’s purpose-built factory at Gaydon, Warks. A replacement for the ageing DB7, which had been in production since the early 1990s, it would remain available for 12 years with numerous improvements and updates along the way.
Introduced at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Aston Martin DB9 was styled by Ian Callum with input on the production version from the next director of AM design, Henrik Fisker (two Grand Masters of Modern Design). The DB9 was the first of what was to become a long line of production Aston Martins to use VH architecture; using super-formed parts in the chassis and footwell as well as the body panels. Individual die-cast, extruded or stamped aluminium elements of the VH platform, are bonded with strong adhesives and self-piercing rivets, providing a lightweight but stiff ‘backbone’. The DB9 body shell weighed 25% less than that of the DB7 but has double its torsional rigidity. This process also allowed Aston Martin to retain high levels of engineering accuracy in producing a car at a higher volume, ensuring chassis performance to match the engine power. Aston Martins have always made the interior of their cars to be very special places. The fine detail of finishing is typified by the starter button made of glass and sand-etched with the Aston Martin wings logo.
The newcomer was equipped with all-round independent suspension, power assisted rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel ABS disc brakes. Powered by a third-generation version of Aston Martin’s proven 6-litre V12 engine in 450bhp/420lbft tune allied to ZF six-speed ‘Touchtronic’ transmission, the 2+2-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and 186mph (though, a manual gearbox became a rarely specified option which this DB9 happens to be fitted with). Initially available as a Coupe only, the Volante version was launched to much acclaim at the Detroit Show in 2004 with production commencing later that year. Mechanically identical to the Coupe, its performance was similar despite a 100kg weight increase. The electrically folding hood was hidden away under a hard tonneau when down, the process taking just 17 seconds to complete.
First sold through Jackson Aston Martin of Jersey on 16th December 2005 as a Christmas present to it’s first, titled keeper for 18 years, this is 1 of just 37 DB9s fitted with a Getrag 6-speed manual gearbox from a total production of 16,500 examples. Displaying a warranted c.19,000 miles from new, it is further understood to be the only DB9 Volante finished in this specification of Bordeaux over Biscuit trim. With just two former keepers from new, it comes with an outstanding service history as part of a comprehensive history file including 11 Aston Martin Dealer/Specialists service stamps in the book equalling a service every 1,500 miles. Described by the vendor as being without fault, it benefits from a recent full service to prepare the car for sale. The cherished registration number ‘DB55 CLK’ is included in the sale.

In the summer of 1992, two pre-production Rover 220 Turbo Coupes were stripped to a bare shell by the Rover development team, checked and rebuilt with various modifications including engine tuning, fuel feed, roll cage, large capacity fuel tank, racing seat and various safety devices. This was carried out in readiness for an attempt at speed records previously held by Porsche, BMW, Bentley, Vauxhall, and Alfa Romeo. These two cars were set up to run at a top speed of just under 160mph. The attempt took place on 29th August 1992, at the Millbrook Proving Ground, Bedfordshire. The entire team working on the car had also been involved with the development of the production model which when introduced was the most powerful and fastest production Rover model ever built.
The sale car is one of the two specially modified pre-production coupes used in the 1992 attempt and still holds 36 of the 37 records that it broke. It remains to Land Speed Record breaking specification. In 2022, this historic machine was professionally recommissioned in readiness for a recreation of the 1992 event at Millbrook where it led a cavalcade of surviving Tomcats for several laps around the banked circuit, and then onto the Proving Ground’s ‘Alpine’ road section. The original team from the Rover factory who built the car, were reunited with it for the occasion. It is believed that the second LSR car was exported a number of years ago and it is unknown whether it still exists. The car is said to remain in superb running order and be great fun to drive, which is a major credit to the engineering team that produced it.

Destined to become Alvis’ production car swansong, the TF21 was introduced in March 1966. Sharing the same styling as its TE21 predecessor, the newcomer was based around a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, well-located ‘live’ rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering. Upgraded via a raised compression ratio, water-heated inlet manifold, triple SU carburettors and thermostatically-controlled electric fan, the refined four-seater’s 2993cc OHV straight-six was quoted as developing some 150bhp and 182lbft of torque. Available with a choice of either a ZF five-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Trimmed in Connolly leather its cosseting interior sported a wooden dashboard and revised, more driver-orientated instrument binnacle. Among the rarest and most desirable of the Alvis 3-litre cars, the TF21 only lasted in production until 1967 by which time a mere 106 are thought to have been made.
One of the final 20 Alvis cars produced in Coventry, this TF21 was originally sold new to Switzerland as a right hand drive example with km odometer. It was repatriated to the UK in 1973. Displaying a believed c.73,000 km from new, it boasts matching engine and chassis numbers and is fitted with the desirable 5-speed ZF manual gearbox and power steering.

In 2018 it was first registered with the current UK plate, AHJ 195E, prior to acquisition by the vendor in May 2019. Since then it has had regular MOT’s and much work carried out including attention to the brakes and carburettors last year and a service completed in August 2025.

Equipped with all round coil-sprung independent suspension, power steering and four wheel disc brakes, it proved a comfortable and refined grand tourer. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 4520cc SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 217bhp and 265lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of over 130mph in standard tune, Mercedes’ flagship coupe enjoyed a highly successful second career as a rally car including two Bandama wins and a second place on the East African Safari.

Although registered in Solihull, our Elan’s history is known from January, 1968, when it belonged to one Keith Farrant of Headley Park, Bristol. That December 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. By 1970, it had covered 32,000 miles. After several years of use, in 1985 it 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.

In highly original condition owing to just c.62,000 recorded miles, C7 MMA is finished in Talisman silver metallic over grey leather and Cheviot tweed interior. 29 services are recorded from Jaguar Chester (Henly’s, Rybrook, HA Fox, Inchcape) plus another 4 services afterwards. The only reason it couldn’t continue to be serviced at Jaguar Chester being the loss of their heritage technician with no replacement to work on this era of Jaguar. Benefiting from a new water pump in 2015 and rear brake overhaul in 2017, both less than 2,000 miles ago, it is offered with full book pack, service invoices, period MOT’s to 1991 and current V5C which records 2 former keeper’s (the vendor’s business and his late-wife). Worthy of close inspection, it is anticipated a new MOT will be in place for the sale.

The first generation Range Rover was produced between 1970 and 1996. The original car was not designed as a luxury-type 4x4; while certainly up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards designed to be washed down with a hose. Features such as power assisted steering, carpeted floors, cloth/leather seats, and wooden interior trim were fitted later. The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis similar to contemporary Land Rovers utilising coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive and four-wheel disc brakes and was originally powered by the Rover V8 engine.
This left hand drive example of the desirable ‘Two Door’ Range Rover was imported from France in 1990 and has been in the current registered ownership since 2008. Finished in light blue, it is powered by a ‘non-cat’ 3.5-litre Rover V8 allied to 4 speed manual transmission without overdrive. Offered with previous MOT paperwork and a current Swansea V5C.

This Beetle was described as “way cool” and “totally awesome” in 1990 and, if we may let our hair down so far, we would echo those sentiments exactly. It appears to have been supplied through Modern Light Cars Ltd. of Bournemouth and owned by Mr. and Mrs. Howell until 1990, when it was sold through Omega Car Sales, but by that stage it had undergone a transformation. Besides a 12-volt conversion and a bodywork restoration with a new bonnet, engine lid, bumpers and all four wings, it had been customised with American-specification front lights, EMPI five-spoke wheels, the bonnet handle removed, and all-red rear lenses. Lowered five inches, it was painted Radical Red, while the interior was kept original save for a modern sound system, and a tuned 1679cc engine was installed.
The colour has since been changed, but in all respects this remains an outstanding “Back to ’89” nostalgia custom. Always maintained throughout its life, it entered the present ownership in 2024 and was fitted with a reconditioned 1,641cc exchange engine by The VW Engine Co. for £5,272 in September, 2025. It is sold with stacks of history including invoices back to 1969, MOTs back to 1980 and the current V5C.

This amazing one-off was created by master craftsman Paul Gooderham using 750 Motor Club stalwart Ron Champion’s book ‘How to Build Your Own Sports Car’ as a template. Resembling a slightly scaled-up Lotus 7 (Sottul is a subtle distortion of Lotus spelt backwards), the resultant machine has been built to a standard that would shame many an OEM and is ridiculously OTT in some respects. For example, the spaceframe chassis comprises square section stainless steel 304 tubes that have been beautifully TIG welded together. The proprietor of a custom exhaust business, Mr Gooderham not only fabricated his own wishbones, engine mounts and carburettor trumpets but also made an English Wheel with which to form the polished aluminium bodywork! The slight peak to the nosecone was inspired by Ferrari’s first mid-engined GP car, the 156, while its grille slats are titanium. Powered by a Lotus 907 2-litre DOHC ‘slant four’ allied to Getrag five-speed manual transmission, the Suttol was rolling road tuned to 180bhp @ 5,500rpm. The independent rear suspension incorporates a Ford Sierra back axle with the front disc brakes and all-round coil-over units being sourced from Wilwood and Spax respectively. Just treated to a cambelt change, the Suttol is due to be freshly MOT tested. Exceptional!

“The Aston Martin DB2/4 is a sports car with a very definite appeal. It has full saloon car comfort, coupled with performance and roadholding of a very high order” - Autocar Magazine
Introduced at the October 1953 London Motor Show, the DB2/4 represented a new breed of longer-legged, more accommodating Aston Martin. Some seven inches longer and a little taller than its predecessor, the fitting of a smaller seventeen-gallon fuel tank (still good for circa 300 miles) plus some minor platform changes liberated enough room for two small seats to be positioned above the back axle. Visually distinguished by a one-piece windscreen and rear hatchback, the new model boasted such niceties as a telescopic steering column and adjustable backrests. Panelled in lightweight aluminium over an advanced tubular frame chassis, its independent front suspension featured a sophisticated trailing link, coil-sprung set-up tempered by an anti-roll bar, while at the rear a Panhard rod assisted radius arms in keeping the coil-sprung beam axle firmly tied down. Initially powered by a 2580cc version of the famous Willie Watson / W.O. Bentley designed DOHC straight-six engine, the adoption of a larger 83mm bore size saw capacity rise to 2922cc in mid-1954. Thanks to its increased engine capacity, the 3.0 litre unit was credited with developing some 140bhp - outputs sufficient for a quoted 120mph top speed. Overshadowed by its racing DB3 / DB3S siblings, the model still enjoyed a successful competition career winning the team prize on the 1955 Monte Carlo Rally (interestingly, the factory also fielded a pair of DB2/4s for the Mille Miglia). Of the 565 MKIs made, just 448 are thought to have been two-door saloons.
Few motor cars of the post-war era encapsulate the spirit of British grand touring quite so eloquently as the Aston Martin DB2/4, a model that masterfully unites refined comfort with spirited performance and assured road manners, as recognised in period by Autocar Magazine.
Chassis LML/881 represents an especially compelling example, having been the subject of a comprehensive and no-expense-spared programme of restoration and mechanical refinement under current ownership. Entrusted to the highly regarded Aston Workshop, the car has benefited from expenditure in excess of
£120,000 within the past year alone, the works undertaken with a clear philosophy of authenticity, mechanical excellence, and understated presentation.
The exterior has been treated to a finely executed repaint of exceptional quality, while the interior has been enhanced with a complete renewal of its carpeting, preserving the car’s elegant character. Beneath the surface, the mechanical components have received meticulous attention: the engine and gearbox have been expertly overhauled to deliver the smooth, assured performance synonymous with the marque. The SU carburettors have likewise been rebuilt, complemented by the installation of a lightweight aluminium fuel tank, together with new fuel lines and pump. The braking system has been comprehensively restored, featuring a new master cylinder, renewed brake lines and wheel cylinders, relined shoes, and carefully refurbished drums. The electrical system has not been overlooked, with the fitment of a new wiring loom and full testing of all components. The result is a motor car that is said to perform as impressively as it presents—equally suited to discerning touring or exhibition at the highest level.
According to its accompanying Aston Martin Ltd build sheet, this desirable MKI 3.0-litre example, chassis LML/881, was originally specified with Alfin brake drums and side jacks, both highly sought-after period features. Delivered new on 30th April 1955 to E.H. Organ & Sons Ltd, it was finished in the sophisticated colour scheme of Blue Haze over grey leather upholstery with blue piping. Notably, the car retains its original UK registration ‘EJE 124’, together with its matching-numbers 3.0-litre engine, numbered VB6J 353. Further enhanced since entering the current Aston Martin specialist ownership, the past year or so has seen chassis LML/881 treated to an estimated £120,000 worth of expenditure by Aston Workshop. As well as a sympathetic repaint, the 2+2-seater has benefited from partial retrimming and a complete carpet overhaul. A large portion of the expenditure has been on returning the vehicle to top mechanical working order. The Engine and gearbox have been overhauled to continue the future driving experience of the vehicle. In matching fashion the SU carburettors have been overhauled and a new lightweight aluminium fuel tank fitted with new fuel pump and lines. The brakes have been thoroughly overhauled, a new master cylinder supplies pressure to new brake lines and cylinders all around, the shoes re-lined and drums treated appropriately. Electrically, a new harness has been fitted and all electrical components proved working. This decidedly smart DB2/4 is worthy of close inspection.
Offered with its UK V5C registration document, BMIHT certificate, original factory build documentation, and an extensive history file including numerous restoration invoices and photographic records, this outstanding DB2/4 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and highly correct example of one of Aston Martin’s most elegant and historically significant early models.

This 1933 Alvis Firefly is a very special survivor, being one of only two bodied by Cross & Ellis in the two/three-seater (two-seater with dickey) style. The factory record reveals it was originally painted ‘Broken White’, having Black paint on the wings and above the waistline, and White wheels, with Black leather and hood. It was sold through the agents Windmill & Lewis of Bristol, and although registered in Somerset its first owner was resident in Coverack, Cornwall. By the early ’50s, a young bachelor named David White owned it, but he sold it for something more family-oriented after marriage in 1954. After changing hands several more times, it departed for America in 1966.
The Alvis was repatriated in 1990, and in 1993 the then-owner began an extensive restoration, spending some £25,000 with Tim Walker Restorations up to the end of 1994, with work including a complete mechanical overhaul. Subsequent work included a radiator overhaul, a new exhaust and fuel tank repairs. Around the millennium, the car’s colour was changed from Black with Red wheels to the present, more original scheme. In 2014, MCI (Blackburn) Ltd. replaced the original gearbox with the all-synchromesh unit from an Alvis TA14.
Our vendor acquired the Firefly in 2018 and promptly spent thousands of pounds recommissioning it with Red Triangle, including the renewal of the ignition coil and core plugs. Also in 2018, £2,000 was spent with SM Trimming having the front seats retrimmed, and more recent maintenance up to March, 2026, has been overseen by Rees Bros., who relined the brakes shoes, fitted a new SU fuel pump and performed an ignition service in 2022. This very historic Firefly is sold with the current V5C, past ownership records (including correspondence), copies of the factory car record and 1960s letters from Alvis, the 1968 Washington title and copious invoices back to 1993.

Ordered in May, 1957, chassis ALC4 was specified with power steering, special-order features such as an aerial on the offside wing (instead of on the roof) and a steering column shortened by 1in. but with the wheel at standard height, and further options including a 200X radio and Dunlop tubeless tyres. Passengers in the rear were well and truly cosseted, having two picnic tables with mirrors, cigarette lighters, two footstools, two reading lights, and a drinks compartment for a bottle and six glasses at their disposal. The chassis retains its original engine, number C4A. Once James Young had completed the bodywork, ALC4 was registered ‘UXU 385’ and retailed through Jack Barclay Ltd. The first owner was C. C. Wakefield Ltd. of Grosvenor Street, makers of Castrol oil. The second owner, from February 14th, 1959, was the Belco Manufacturing Co. (1939) Ltd. of Ebury Street, but by July 31st it belonged to the Production Tool Alloy Co. of Sharpenhoe, Bedfordshire. Ownership then passed between a string of London-based companies up to 1966. By 1985, the Cloud had been shipped to America, but it was back on British roads by 1989, after which it was placed in storage for almost forty years as part of a large collection of 1940s-1960s Rolls-Royces and Bentleys. It emerged from its warehouse earlier this year, and minimal work was required to make it driveable, and the engine “runs beautifully,” but further recommissioning will be required, especially to the brakes. The lights, horn, electric fuel cap, electric division and electric aerial are all in working order. The body is in good order with some minor cosmetic flaws, and the original interior is in an exemplary state of preservation. A great opportunity for sympathetic renovation, this Cloud is supplied with a current V5C, two keys and copies of the factory build sheets.

Among the most stylish and technologically advanced cars of the 1930s, each Mercedes-Benz 500K Spezial Roadster took five months to build. An Art Deco masterpiece with Streamline Moderne overtones, the two-seater was penned by Hermann Ahrens and proof that Mercedes-Benz’s in-house coachbuilder, Karrosserie Sindelfingen, could hold its own against the likes of Italy’s Touring or France’s Figoni & Falaschi. With a supercharged 5-litre straight-eight engine under the bonnet and independent suspension at each corner, the Mercedes-Benz had the speed and poise to match its looks. Fearsomely expensive when new and rare as hen’s teeth, surviving 500K Spezial Roadsters can command upwards of $10 million today.
Understood to be the sole right hand drive example produced by Heritage, this fibreglass-bodied 500K evocation is powered by a 350ci 5.7-litre Chevrolet V8 driving through TH350 automatic transmission. Understood to have been constructed in the Florida factory in 1992 for an American client wishing to emigrate to Australia, it was therefore specified in right hand drive. Unfortunately his plans fell through and the car was sold and subsequently UK registered in March 1995. It is built around a substantial box-section steel chassis and has Chevrolet Camaro running gear. No slouch on the road with in excess of 300 bhp on tap, driver comforts are catered for by the inclusion of power windows. In current ownership since 2019, this head turning homage to the legendary 500K Roadster is now regretfully offered for sale due to health reasons with a current MOT to October 2026. The cherished registration UUI 4222 is included. Please note that the Swansea V5C will be forwarded to the buyer following the sale and will not be available for collection on the day.

Originally finished in Almond Green and Old English White with a Porcelain Grey and Dove Grey interior, our like-new Mini Cooper S was built on January 28th, 1964, and despatched to Stewart & Ardern Ltd. of Acton, which sold it to its first owner, Charles Phillips of Forest Row. In March, 1965, it was resold viâ a company in Worcester to a Worcester resident. It then passed through a couple of owners in Monmouthshire and in the early 1970s it had three owners, all in Abergavenny, until its tax expired in 1973.
Another owner in Abergavenny reregistered the Mini with the DVLA in 1991, keeping its original number, but nothing further happened until 2023, when it was exhibited in the Cooper S 60 Years Celebration at the Mini Cooper Register’s National Mini Day at Beaulieu, needing total restoration. An enthusiast purchased it and duly restored it to the highest standard, finishing in August, 2025. He fitted new panels where needed; had the engine overhauled to an uprated specification by Brett Sims Racing with a modified cylinder head, twin SU H4 carburettors, a Piper cam and more; had the suspension and front and rear subframes fully refurbished; had a new RC40 single-box exhaust made with a Maniflow LCB manifold; had the body shell repainted inside and out; completely renovated the interior; and fitted multiple new pieces of trim. A special feature of the interior is the rare William Dulles Ltd. aftermarket dash panel.
After restoration, the Mini covered ten miles before it was sold in September, 2025, to our vendor. Surely one of the best Coopers on the market, it is supplied with the V5C, the 1991 V5, the original green logbook, a BMIHT certificate, an MOT valid until August with no advisories, and a huge stack of invoices from the restoration.

For almost a century, Bentley had enjoyed a reputation as a maker of some of the best saloon and touring cars in the world, so when the SUV phenomenon came along, it was only natural that the best SUVs should hail from Crewe, too. In continuous production since December, 2015, the Bentayga—named after the sublime Bentayga rock in Gran Canaria—was Bentley’s first and, thus far, only entry into the SUV market. First glimpsed at the September, 2015, Frankfurt Motor Show, it had at its heart the six-litre twin-turbocharged W12 already well-loved by Bentley owners thanks to its inclusion in the Continental GT and Flying Spur; in the Bentayga, it produced 600bhp.
Now that the oldest Bentaygas are just celebrating their tenth birthday, we think they must be achieving collectible status, and what better example to add to a collection than this very well-preserved specimen from the first year of production. Having been completed to a special-order specification, there probably isn’t another one quite like it. The paint code L999 denotes a custom colour, which in this case rather puts us in mind of the glistening Atlantic waves round Gran Canaria. Other features of its tremendous specification include a panoramic roof, keyless entry and a premium sound system.
Impressively, it was enjoyed by just two keepers before being acquired by the present family near the end of 2024 at a cost of around £67,000, which included some paint correction work and ceramic coating. Because custody has since been transferred to another family member upon the passing of the purchaser, the DVLA records a total of four registered keepers. Across its life, the Bentley has only ever been used sparingly, covering just 43,000 miles from new. All the while, it has been appropriately maintained in accordance with the level of use it has received, having received seven services, all by Bentley Leicester. The MOT record provides further evidence of just how well cared for it has been—from its first MOT in 2019, it has been tested almost annually and has never yet received so much as an advisory note. The current MOT remains valid until March, 2027. Furthermore, if you should discover a fault with it—which we think is hopefully unlikely—it is still covered by Sytner Bentley’s extended warranty, which remains valid until October, 2026.
Following its recent paint correction work, it is really hard to believe that this Bentayga is a ten-year-old car. It looks very much like a nearly-new machine,
with the interior in wonderful condition, too. The red stitching creates a splendid contrast with the black leather, and the embroidered Bentley emblems on the seat are the crowning touch. As far as we are aware, all the luxury fittings remain fully operational, and even areas where you might expect to find scratches, snags or scuff marks, such as the window blinds or the cup holders, give the impression that they have scarcely ever been used. The cavernous boot is in exceptionally good order, looking as if it has never seen a pair of muddy boots, and the space-saver spare wheel is all present and correct. Truly one of the best and most desirably specified used Bentaygas one can buy, it is supplied with much documentation including the original owner’s handbook and supplementary guides, confirmation from Bentley of its service history, past MOTs and the late owner’s purchase invoice.

Launched in 1965 and now in its ninth generation across a fourth platform, the iconic Ford Transit was a global success story, being Europe’s best-selling light commercial vehicle for no less than 40 years and the best in the USA for the last seven. In many parts of the world the word Transit has long since become the generic term for any make of similar van, and in excess of 8 million examples have been produced to date. What is generally known as the Mk3 version was based on the model’s second platform and remained in production from 1986 until 2000. It was readily recognisable by its steeply angled windscreen that echoed the line of the bonnet and its simple but practical box-like design.
This Transit originally belonged to Stoke Mandeville Hospital who used it as a dentistry unit. Now a bare chassis, it is ready for conversion. Purchased by the vendor 10 years ago it has been stored since and consequently registers just c.2,200 miles. Powered by the 2-litre petrol unit it is described as being in a condition commensurate with its mileage. A V5C will need to be applied for by the new owner.

Introduced at the 1992 Motor Show, the Chimaera was intended to be a more practical, user-friendly machine than the formidable Griffith. To this end, it sported a proper boot and a more cosseting interior. Power came from a variety of Rover V8-derived units, though, even the entry-level 4.0 litre was quoted as developing 240bhp/270lbft. The slowest of the range, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 12.1 seconds and 152mph! Luckily all Chimaeras came with four-wheel disc brakes and a Quaife differential as standard. A 4.5-litre model was added to the line-up in 1997, with the Chimaera 450 said to offer 285bhp and 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds.
Owned by the vendor for 2 years this example is finished in Starmist Blue which is complemented by a beige and blue leather interior. Displaying a warranted c.62,000 miles, it benefits from a recent oil change in preparation for the sale and the chassis outriggers have been replaced in the current ownership.

In beautiful condition through and through, this rare Austin A35 van has a long history of enthusiast use spanning most of the present century. It owes its present condition to a restoration of the paint and chromework during the early 2010s. Previously painted plain Grey, it has really been brought to life by the very appropriate Austin Service livery. We understand the van was owned around that time by the proprietor of a classic car garage in West Sussex. Since then, it has been widely exhibited at events around the South-East, including the Goodwood Revival in 2019.
After a short time out of use, the van has recently been recommissioned. It retains its original 948cc engine, but benefits from a few subtle upgrades such as an alternator, an SU carburettor, servo-assisted brakes, oil pressure and water temperature gauges, and Lucas P700 lights. It also sports a set of new tyres. A really delightful machine with an abundance of character, the opportunities for enjoying it are endless. Whether playing the part of a period piece at the Goodwood Revival or stretching its legs on the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society’s London to Brighton Run, it’s sure to attract plenty of admirers.

In production between 1971 and 1982, the Rolls-Royce Corniche is the epitome of sophisticated motoring. Fabled for its extravagantly sumptuous interior and hushed drivetrain, it was powered by a tuned version of Crewe’s staple 6,750cc V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. Equipped with firmer springs, thicker anti-roll bars, and revised steering geometry, it proved a more satisfying drive than its humbler saloon car siblings.
Exhibiting a splendid degree of originality, this elegant Corniche Convertible represents an ideal candidate for sympathetic restoration or even just mild refurbishment, having been well preserved in single ownership for more than forty years. Originally registered ‘GMD 52V’ on May 2nd, 1980, the first owner of the Rolls-Royce appears to have been Nathaniels & Dicker, an import business based in Malta, but with an address on Kensington’s Gloucester Road. It was subsequently sold in 1983 by Mr. P. Munns of Tetbury Estate Ltd., at the same Gloucester Road address, to the late recent owner, who kept a mews address in Bayswater.
For several years, the owner very much enjoyed the Corniche, and at one stage treated it some extensive refurbishment, which included a repaint. However, it was eventually retired from service and placed into storage in a garage in Teddington, and it has now spent more than twenty years off the road. Despite its time in storage, the Corniche does not look the worse for wear beneath its layer of dust, and the interior in particular stands out for its exceptional state of preservation. While this car could be treated to a full restoration, we do not think anything more than mild refurbishment will be necessary. A general clean and a spot of polish and hide feed should be all that is required on a cosmetic level to make it entirely show-worthy.

The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 were produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1971 until 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by the automaker after the G-Class. They were badged accordingly, indicating the displacement of the engines. The R107/SL was a two-seat convertible with a detachable roof. It replaced the W113 SL-Class in 1971 and was replaced by the R129 SL-Class in 1989.
Launched in 1985, the 300SL was the ultimate incarnation of the R107 and was available for only four years, with a mere c.13,443 built globally, making them a rarity in right-hand drive. Powered by a 2,962cc straight-six producing 185bhp at 5,700rpm, it was sufficient output to endow this open-topped Mercedes-Benz with rapid acceleration and a published top speed of 130mph. When fitted, a matching hardtop helped ensure the occupants kept warm and snug on winter days, making the SL a comfortable proposition as an all season daily driver.
Coming from a deceased estate, this late model 300 SL was first registered on 4 August 1989 and hails from the final year of production. It has remained in the same long-term family ownership since 1992. In 2002 a recorded keeper change within the family resulted in 3 former keepers appearing on the Swansea V5C. Finished in white with blue interior and blue hood, the car is supplied with a history file which includes numerous invoices and receipts, a Swansea V5C document and current MOT to May 2026. Appearing to be a very well-maintained and much loved example, it has covered c.99,250 miles from new.

Assembled and supplied new in The Netherlands, this truly remarkable Corvette remained there until 2022 when the vendor brought it over to the UK. He informs us that the Chevrolet is a matching numbers example and is happy to warrant the notably low odometer reading of 51,500km (c.32,000 miles) as correct because of the amount of time the car spent on static display with first Andre Boer’s renowned Dutch Corvette Museum and then Wander Automotive (a Dutch General Motors dealer since 1924). Although, the Museum had carried out a degree of refurbishment during 2006-2007, the seller decided to have the Sting Ray properly gone through and brought up to MOT standard. The four-wheel disc brakes were overhauled with new callipers all-round. The Power Glide automatic transmission and torque converter were overhauled by specialist Competition Transmission Services of Hertfordshire and then reinstalled with a new centre mount bush. The wiring was checked and renewed as necessary with a new starter motor, alternator and electric washer pump fitted plus the ignition system refreshed (new coil, spark plugs etc). The inlet and exhaust manifolds were powder coated as were the rocker covers. A custom built twin exhaust system with stainless steel end pipes was added and the 327 cu in (5.3 litre) V8 treated to a new Holley 600CFM carburettor. Replacement parts were kept to a minimum (hence the header tank being TIG-welded rather than simply renewed) but the decision made to refresh the factory paintwork in its original Eckhart Blue metallic hue with the underside and wheelarches being finished in Satin Black. However, the exceptionally well-preserved Teal interior and White soft-top were left alone. The aged and quite possibly first set of tyres (complete with thin Red wall striping) have been retained but their place has been taken by new White-walled rubber. Accompanying paperwork includes an original White Dutch registration logbook, letter from the former MD of Wander Automotive and numerous restoration bills / photographs. The Convertible has been NOVA declared with all duties paid. Should it remain on these shores then the new owner can become the first UK registered keeper. Having had over £48,000 lavished on it during the past four years, this stunning Sting Ray is worthy of a place in another major ‘Vette collection.

Chassis No: V8/11437/RCA
This Aston Martin V8 represents a remarkable restoration opportunity, having been off the road thirty-five years while surviving with much early history. It has had only two owners from new, changing hands in 1989. It was originally bought through the well-known dealership H. W. Motors Ltd. in Walton-on-Thames by Nick B. Anscombe of Fleet, Hampshire, who requested the five-speed manual gearbox and options such as an electric roof, overriders, side marker lights, side repeater flashers, and headrests. After VAT and a full tank of petrol, that would have set Mr. Anscombe back £13,482.24.
From early in its life, the Aston Martin was registered to Mr. Anscombe’s business, NBA (Controls) Ltd. on Invincible Road in Farnborough. Assorted documents testify to the Aston Martin being in continuous use through the 1980s, until Anscombe sold it in October, 1989, to the present owner, who registered it in the name of his business. It was registered in his own name in August, 1990, and its last tax expired in 1991, though it was MOTed in 1992, at 81,652 miles. It was then stripped for restoration and repainted in its original Green, and much work was completed before the project stalled. This included major chassis welding; thorough overhauls of the front suspension, back axle, steering and brakes; a new clutch plate and reground flywheel; a rechromed rear bumper; and assorted smaller jobs.
It is offered for sale with a tremendous amount of history from Mr. Anscombe’s ownership, including the original quotation from H. W. Motors, multiple MOTs and licence application forms spanning the 1980s, invoices for servicing and maintenance from various garages (including a 1983 rear axle overhaul), and the 1989 sale invoice. Also present are a 1975 Aston Martin Lagonda price list, the current V5C, and the final tax disc from 1990-91.

Reg No: TPU 600 MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: B-12-MD
Notable as not only the first Bentley to be built at Crewe but also the first to be offered with in-house ‘Standard Steel Saloon’ coachwork, the MKVI was introduced in 1946. Those wishing to pay a premium could still have their MKVI clothed by an external coachbuilder (830 of the 4,001 made sported non-factory bodies).
According to its accompanying copy build record, chassis B-12-MD was bodied as a Sports Saloon by HJ Mulliner and exhibited on the Bentley Motors stand at the 1951 Earl’s Court Motor Show. Among the earliest ‘big bore’, 4.6-litre cars made, the coachbuilt MKVI was subsequently supplied new to R. Collinson Esq via Charles H. Allen Ltd and issued with the distinctive Colchester number plate ‘TPU 600’. A small plaque for the 1983 Croscombe Trial affixed to the rear bodywork suggests that the Bentley had relocated to the West Country by then. Known to have spent time overseas thereafter, the Sports Saloon was repatriated during 1990. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the MKVI has formed part of a notable private, Somerset-based collection for the past thirty-four years. Garaged alongside hundreds of other vehicles, ‘TPU 600’ was hired out to various film and television companies so as to help pay its way. Handsomely finished in Blue over Silver with Light Grey leather upholstery (much of which appears to be original), the Bentley has appeared on the silver screen alongside Geraldine McEwan, Anthony Andrews, Charles Dance, Greta Scacchi, Tom Baker, Saffron Burrows, Greg Wise and Zoe Tapper etc. Sparingly used over the past decade, this ex-Motor Show ‘big bore’, coachbuilt MKVI ran well during our recent photography session showing good oil pressure but would benefit from recommissioning prior to proper usage. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

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. viâ an 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 viâBrittany 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.

Pleasingly original and correct, and maintained to a very high standard, this Stag was built on June 18th, 1973, and still appears in its original colour scheme of Emerald Green with trim and hood in Black. Original factory-fitted equipment included the automatic gearbox, a heater, a Sundym laminated windscreen, and a hardtop. Unfortunately, we know nothing of its history prior to 2020, when it was purchased by the vendor from Turn Two Classics. Since then, it has been extensively refurbished by Robsport International, which performed a comprehensive engine overhaul for £5,640 in late 2021, and £2,914 worth of follow-up work in 2022. Additionally, more than £2,000 was spent across 2021 and 2023 having the suspension and the braking system renovated. While obviously exempt from testing, it has nevertheless been MOTed several times since 2019, and is offered with an MOT valid until April, 2027, and showing no advisories. it has also benefited from regular servicing during the present ownership, and most recently received a professional service by Kustom Artworx in April, 2026. This very useable and good-looking Stag is offered with much recent history including the V5C, a BMIHT certificate, various magazine and technical articles, and several MOT certificates and invoices.

Reg No: G222
The world-famous Land Rover was launched in 1948 and developed from a single offering to a family of long and short-wheelbase derivatives with an ever-increasing choice of engines. The ‘One Ten’ was introduced in 1983. Further differentiated from its Series III predecessor by a taller one-piece windscreen, modernised interior and more sophisticated Range Rover-derived permanent four-wheel drive system, the newcomer gained a shorter wheelbase sibling, the ‘Ninety’, in 1984. With their superior load capacity, handling and ride comfort, the ‘One Ten’ (110) and ‘Ninety’ (90) proved strong sellers.
Offered here is a very practical iteration of the Land Rover Defender 110. A long-wheelbase example ‘G222 UTM’ has been the subject of much improvement in recent years with a previous bodywork restoration and repaint in a very handsome Black. It’s understood attention was also paid to the mechanicals and a replacement chassis was fitted. Powered by a Mazda 35 SL TDI engine, not shown as such on the HPI report, it states ‘V8’, there are only 2 former keepers on record. Displaying a mere 84,500 miles the Land Rover is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.

Finished in its original Pistachio Green over Cirrus White and one of 573 British-market Sprints, this Elan’s first owner was Peter Turner of Aldershot and in 1977 it was sold to Paul Bryans of Chiswick. Our vendor became the third owner in 1981, and has enjoyed the Elan frequently as a weekend car. Purchased with a mileage of 54,460 miles, that has risen to 68,300.
In 2018, the engine, gearbox, brakes and suspension were overhauled, with new engine components including the valves, valve guides, and big-end and main bearings, and a new clutch. In 2019 the Elan was hit by a speeding car while stationary, leading to a full restoration by Lotus specialist Max300 with a new body shell, chassis and suspension units, among many other parts. After £48,233 of costs, the work was rewarded with the cover feature in AbsoluteLotus , October/November, 2020.
A negative earth and alternator conversion, an uprated radiator and electric fan, and a new stainless exhaust are among several almost invisible upgrades. The Elan is supplied with the V5C, copies of old V5s, an owner’s handbook and service book, copies of the Club Lotus technical bulletin, MOTs from 1981 to 2021, and invoices spanning seemingly every purchase back to 1977.

This Land Rover presents in very fine condition having been refurbished in recent years by John Brown 4x4, though it still displays the light patina without which no Land Rover would be truly complete. Desirably equipped with the 2¼-litre petrol engine and a Fairey overdrive unit which is believed to be original to it, the work performed by John Brown 4x4 included reupholstering the interior and fitting a new canvas tilt. It was then offered for sale and was purchased for use on a country estate in the New Forest, although it ended up being placed in storage for some five years.
The present enthusiast owners bought the Land Rover from the estate earlier this year for a straightforward recommissioning project. It was in non-working condition at the time, but has now received a general service, the brakes have been made operational, the rear hub seals have been changed and a new set of tyres has been fitted. In addition to looking wonderful, it now runs and drives and should be ready for immediate enjoyment. It was MOTed in March, 2026, and passed with no advisories.
1 of just 279 Phantom II Continentals
Estimate: £150,000 - £180,000*
Reg No: BGJ 602
MOT: Exempt
Chassis No: 175RY
This outstanding Phantom II Continental has some of the most remarkable provenance of any Phantom, with full ownership from new including eighteen years with the celebrated bandleader Bert Ambrose. According to its accompanying RREC-supplied build sheet copies, chassis 175RY was specified for use in the “UK and on the Continent. Both Fast Touring.” Like most such owner-driver Rolls-Royces with a sporting bent, it was primarily intended as transport for two people, though it would capably carry five. The supremely elegant Sedanca Coupé coachwork—essentially a Three-Position Drophead Coupé—was crafted by H. J. Mulliner. The completed car was supplied new viâ Jack Barclay Ltd. of Hanover Square, London W1, to Richard Tredenham Fox-Carlyon, Esq., of Costislost in Washaway, Cornwall, who was a mere twenty-two years old at the time. Among the county’s largest landowners whose fortunes had been bolstered by various tin mines, the Carlyon family may have found the Phantom II Continental unwieldy on Cornwall’s tight and twisty roads because it was returned to Jack Barclay a matter of months later.
The Sedanca Coupé’s second owner was the renowned Bert Ambrose, who had it repainted Black with a contrasting coachline before taking delivery during January, 1935, with the balance of the manufacturer’s original guarantee intact. Alternating residencies between the Embassy Club and the May Fair Hotel during the 1930s and typically paid £10,000 per year or more for his services as one of Britain’s most popular dance band leaders, Ambrose part-exchanged a Bentley Speed Six Coupé and paid a further £1,700 to acquire chassis 175RY! Obviously much taken with the Rolls-Royce, the frontman of Ambrose and His Orchestra kept it for eighteen years, by which time changing musical tastes had reduced his income.
Briefly owned by Frederick Maurice, who gave his address as the Athenaeum Club, Waterloo Place, London W1, the Phantom II Continental belonged to James George Tuddenham of Cawston, Norfolk, from 1954 until 1969. Apparently little used towards the end of his tenure, the Sedanca Coupé was bought by the renowned Rolls-Royce dealer Frank Dale and retained by his
stepson, Ivor Gordon, for the next twenty-five years, a testament to how special they both felt chassis 175RY to be. Mechanically recommissioned by marque specialist Jack Humphrey at the heady cost (in 1969) of £367, the imposing Three-Position Drophead became a familiar sight at RREC gatherings during the 1970s and 1980s. Entrusted to Michael Walker’s Garage for a thorough engine overhaul, partial rewiring and exhaust repairs during 1984 at a cost of a further £13,000, the now Powder Blue Continental joined New Zealander Roy Southward’s stable a decade later.
A capable restorer who ran the family engineering business and whose father had founded the Southward Car Museum on the Kapiti Coast, Roy had the Rolls-Royce refinished in its current Dark Blue livery. Invoices on file attest to further New Zealand maintenance prior to the Sedanca Coupé being repatriated in 2001. Offered for sale by the famed marque specialist P. & A. Wood the next year, chassis 175RY joined the collection of the late Robert Furniss Riding during January, 2003. Awarded the Peter Blond Trophy at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club’s Annual Rally a few months later, the 2005 running of the same event saw the H. J. Mulliner masterpiece claim a Class Prize for Elegance and judged the second most elegant attendee. Mr. Riding entrusted the car to J. & M. Bentley and Partners for £7,352 worth of fettling during 2003; a new tonneau cover and headlining were fitted, with attention also being paid to the carpets, leather upholstery, paintwork, cooling system, general mechanics, etc. Repainted in 2018 at a cost of £12,730, Mr. Riding continued to maintain the car with new ignition consumables and occasional fluid changes up to 2022 when, sadly, he passed away. We were privileged to handle the sale of his collection, which consisted mainly of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys of the highest degree.
The present owner of this fine machine bought it to use as a “spare” Phantom II while he was preparing another example for the 2025 Peking to Paris. However, since he was so occupied with that, 175RY saw minimal use and is offered for sale now largely as it was acquired from the Riding Collection, though it has benefited from £11,000 worth of maintenance and improvements completed by Mercedes-Benz and Classic Car specialist In Autos of Newchapel, Surrey. In 2023, it received a full service, checks and lubrication, plus some attention to the radiator. In 2025, the ignition system was inspected and a new rotor arm was fitted, and most recently, in early 2026, the rear end of the Phantom was repainted. We expect any bidders who would care to examine the car will agree with the vendor’s assessment that it is “excellent” in all areas.
Accompanying paperwork includes the aforementioned RREC build sheet copies, plus an original specification book and handbook; assorted historic photographs;
documentation and pictures relating to Bert Ambrose’s ownership; a very large quantity of invoices from various stages of the Phantom’s life; a good number of MOT certificates dating back to 1970; technical literature; an RF60 buff logbook and copies of previous logbooks; and a current V5C document. The Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental had some claim to being the very best car money could buy when new. This example, with its beautifully proportioned H. J. Mulliner coachwork, is among the most stylish we have encountered and surely worthy of a place in another world class collection. After a few years out of use, this car is sure to be welcomed back with open arms to Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club events, in addition to numerous concours and touring opportunities.

Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR Group know-how for a new generation, ‘small’ Aston Martin to become a reality. Introduced at the March 1993 Geneva Salon - albeit deliveries did not start until late the following year - the newcomer had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque’s previous models. Indeed, under the watchful eye of Engineering Director Rod Mansfield Project NPX (as the DB7 was labelled) got through some thirty prototypes. Based around a steel semi-monocoque chassis the DB7 was equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering. Derived from a proven Jaguar unit, the 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine boasted four valves per cylinder, Zytec multi-point fuel injection and an Eaton supercharger. Credited with developing 335bhp and 360lbft, it was allied to five-speed manual transmission as standard and reputedly enabled the Aston Martin to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and reach 161mph. However, it was the way the Fixed Head Coupe looked, rather than its performance potential, which wowed the public. Styled by Ian Callum, the DB7 has long been regarded as a modern masterpiece. Priced at c.£80,000, the six-cylinder Coupe remained current until 1999, by which time some 1,578 had been sold.
In single family ownership from new and with just 1 former keeper recorded this DB7 benefits from the desirable manual gearbox. Finished in Buckingham Green, which presents in very good order, with cream and green interior, it currently registers c.68,500 miles. Works were undertaken by WJS in 2022 (invoice on file) since when only 500 miles have been covered. Offered with history file including comprehensive service history with 9 services by supplying dealer Aston Martin Wilmslow, MOT to April 2027 and current V5C.

Driven by the likes of Peter Sellers, Britt Ekland, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Mike Naismith, there were few things cooler in the Swinging Sixties than a coachbuilt Mini. Determined to create his own, the sole registered keeper of this unique Cooper had it resprayed Opalescent Silver Blue and visually enhanced via a Radford grille, Webasto sunroof, spot lights, wheelarch extensions, bumper overriders and Cosmic MK1 alloy wheels (the colour change happening before the diminutive saloon was even road registered as ‘GBP 777C on June 11th 1965). Internally, he uprated the Morris with a full-width wooden dashboard, Les Leston wood-rimmed steering wheel, host of auxiliary gauges and ‘finger’ extensions for the various toggle switches. Other niceties encompassed a thermometer, period fire extinguisher, cigarette lighter and BMC seatbelts. Able to do all this because he had just finished an apprenticeship at Wadhams, the sole registered keeper subsequently set-up his own engineering business maintaining the Mini ‘inhouse’. Off the road from 1979-2011, the Cooper returned to the road at 39,692 miles having received attention to its clutch, exhaust, brakes and headlights plus a full service. Joining the vendor’s private collection three years ago, ‘GBP 777C’ currently displays a modest 41,400 or so miles to its odometer. Starting readily and running well during our photography session, this amazing Morris must be unique? A wonderful timewarp, the diminutive saloon’s Dove Grey and Dark Grey upholstery appears to be completely factory correct (even down to the carpet covered boot board). Not only is the original handbook present but so is the envelope it initially came in! The original jack and other tools come with it as does the Wadhams PDI sheet, ‘Passport to Service’, Heritage Certificate and Motorola radio instructions. A candidate for the ultimate Issigonis Mini collection?

Chassis 21954 was despatched as a chassis on April 12th, 1948, to dealer James H. Galt Ltd. of Glasgow and in October, it was owned by James Wallace of Edinburgh. Later, it belonged to F. T. “Tom” Poole of Cambridgeshire, followed by Don Simpkins, a Morgan restorer from Georgia, who came to Britain on a parts-buying expedition and needed a car to take parts home in. Thus, it was shipped to America laden with Morgan spares. It was reimported in 1996 and acquired by one Mr. Doherty, who reported that it had been repainted and internally refurbished. Doherty reclaimed the original registration number, ‘CRS 788’, and in 2000 engaged Tim Walker to overhaul the Alvis, which involved rewiring, repairs to miscellaneous electrical items, brake adjustment, refurbishing the rear shock absorbers, servicing the engine and transmission, and fabricating a new petrol tank. The work was completed in 2000, with invoices reaching almost £6,000. The late owner acquired the shooting brake in 2024, by which time it was deemed in need of a complete restoration. Alas, the body was dismantled, and a large quantity of Ash in timber form was acquired ready to be sawn to size. Unfortunately, he passed away and therefore the car will now be sold in dismantled form. Further documents include assorted invoices, an original Manual of Instructions, and several documents from the Alvis Owners Club.

Inspired, at least partially, by a new generation of more driver-orientated luxury cars as typified by the BMW 7-series and Mercedes-Benz S-class, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II was announced in February 1977. While these young pretenders could not be viewed as direct competition (if only on cost grounds), they illustrated the increasing importance that the buying public was placing on chassis dynamics. Thus, while the new model utilised the same four-door monocoque bodyshell, mellifluous 6750cc V8 engine and smooth-shifting GM400 series automatic gearbox as the outgoing Shadow, it gained a prominent front air dam, larger one-piece bumpers, revised front suspension geometry and - most importantly of all - power-assisted rack and pinion steering. Still trimmed with the finest quality leather hides, wood veneers, chrome fixtures and carpets available, it treated occupants to a uniquely cosseting experience.
Finished in a stunning Metallic Burgundy with Cream leather interior this Shadow II was acquired by the vendor in 2020. Used regularly, the car is said to drive very well and be in good mechanical order. The paintwork presents well whilst the interior has a pleasing light patina.

The original service book has been filled with stamps from both main agents and specialist workshops up to the 23rd June 2010 at 70,677 miles. The 9th keeper purchased the 2+2 seater in 2007, and entrusted maintenance to Keys Motorsport, prior to the previous owner acquiring it in 2016.
The previous keeper commissioned Autofficina of Surrey to carry out an engine-out mechanical overhaul to the tune of around £14,000. Our vendor, who is resident in Hong Kong, has owned the car since 2020, and intended to use it for European Tours on return to the UK. However, the Covid-19 pandemic ended any such activity, and it was laid-up until 2025 in a dehumidified storage facility until it was necessary to again return the car to Autofficina in 2025 for recommissioning at a cost of approximately £11,000. Now said to be in ‘very good’ running order, the vendor has extended his residency in Hong Kong and therefore has decided to part company with the little Dino. It will be sold with its original book pack, various invoices, the original set of tools plus the spare wheel.
As rare as it is beautiful, this Sunbeam has had just five owners from new and still sports its original Weymann Saloon coachwork. The first owner kept it until his death in the 1950s, and in the mid-’50s it was owned for three years by S. D. Wilson, a member of the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register, in Horley, Surrey. Circa 1957, he sold the Sunbeam to Raymond Chandler of Bredon, Gloucestershire. A car dealer, Chandler displayed the car in his showroom for thirty years. The fourth only had it only a year before it entered the present family in 1989.
It immediately received a new radiator, followed by an engine overhaul with rebore, new pistons and a new head in 1990. Thereafter, the car was extensively maintained and updated, having indicators, brake lights and an electric fan wired in. It was fully rewired in 1993, and in 2004, the bodywork was restored with new vinyl. Still appearing highly original, it is sold with much history including photographs from 1956, a 1957 letter from Wilson, a detailed record of maintenance between 1989 and 2005, many invoices, an original Sunbeam 20hp handbook, a modern Sunbeam Repair and Maintenance book, and STD Register literature.

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.

4.1 The Seller shall be entitled, prior to the sale to place a Reserve on any Lot, this being the minimum Hammer Price at which the Auctioneer is authorised to sell that Lot and to make its usual charges. A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer.
4.2 The Auctioneer may, at its option, sell the Lot at a Hammer Price below the Reserve but in any such case the Sale Proceeds to which the Seller is entitled shall be the same as if the sale had been at Reserve.
4.3 Where no Reserve has been placed on the Lot the Auctioneer shall in no way be liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below the lowest estimated selling price. In any event, any written or oral estimate of likely selling price given by the Auctioneer is an expression of opinion only and may not be relied upon by the Seller nor give rise to any claim.
4.4 If a Reserve is placed by the Seller in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, such a Reserve shall be calculated and converted into Sterling at the spot rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the last banking day prior to the date of the Sale. The certificate in writing of the Auctioneer as to such rate shall be conclusive.
4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer
may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.
5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:-
(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none;
(b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none,
(c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value;
(d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses;
5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.
6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14.
7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either:
(a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively)
(b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.
8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.
9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made:
(a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot;
(b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced, placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of the Seller.
9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission.
10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate
payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk.
10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer.
10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer.
10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier.
10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.
10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds
11.1 If the Buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the total Amount due within 21 days after the Sale, the Auctioneer will notify the Seller and take the Seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action. So far as in the Auctioneer’s opinion it is practicable, the Auctioneer will at the Seller’s expense assist the Seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the Buyer, but the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.
11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the
Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer.
12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.
12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary.
12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s
Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal.
12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again.
12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides.
12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale.
13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to 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. After that period of time to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.75% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3.
18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions.
18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed.
18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller.
18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot.
18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due.
18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose.
18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future.
19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not.
19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot.
20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.
21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable.
22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers.
23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot.
24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions
