Registration No: RO09 XAS Chassis No: ZAR93900005028097 MOT: December 2024Only c.85,000 miles from newJust three former keepers and current ownership from 2019Desirable 3.2 Litre V6 JTS engine with 6-speed manual gearbox plus four-wheel driveExtensive service history with 10 stamps from specialists and invoices to show large expenditure with the most recent bill for £4899.73 in December 2022The Type 939 Spider is widely regarded as the 6th generation of Alfa Romeo Spiders, the first version of which was released in 1966. The New Spider version was launched at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, where it also received the "Cabrio of the Year" award and production ran until November 2010. Based on the Brera Coupe, it seats two passengers rather than four passengers as in the Coupe. Originally Alfa Romeo offered two engines: the 2.2 L straight-4 and the range topping 3.2 L V6 JTS — The legendary ‘Busso’ V6 was retired at the end of GTV production so a new GM engine – with Alfa cylinder heads and induction – filled in. Like the old Busso V6 it displaced 3.2-litres, though power was now sent through four driven wheels (rare in the Busso era) making the new Spider more of a grippy and torquey tourer.First registered on 1st May 2009 in the United Kingdom, RO09 XAS is the desirable, range-topping 3.2 V6 Q4 model with six-speed manual transmission. Finished in the unusual yet attractive colour combination of Metallic Blue over a Black Leather interior, this vehicle has been cherished by four keepers including the vendor who has owned the car since 2019. The history file is complete with the original handbooks and service booklet which shows ten stamps, the majority of which are from Bournemouth-based Alfa Romeo specialists Autolusso. There is also a huge stack of invoices on file which both backs up the stamp booklet and complements it, with the most recent invoice from Autolusso for £4899.73 in December 2022 for a considerable amount of work which included a new clutch, dual mass flywheel, rear brake callipers and overhaul of the subframe. Now presented for sale due to the vendor looking to move onto something a little more sedate, the car is presented in what the vendor describes as 'good' overall cosmetic condition with a number of scratches in the paintwork as to be expected from a working car, but in 'excellent' mechanical condition.

Registration No: TXS 731 Chassis No: 599547 MOT: July 2024A Paris built Traction imported into the United Kingdom in 1981In current ownership for over forty years, since 1983Mechanically recommissioned in June 2023 with parts from specialistsFeatures the rare and desirable ‘Quillerry Viraflex’ steering wheelNearly every list of the most important automotive designs must surely include André Citroën's beloved Model 11 Traction Avant, which loosely translates to "Front-wheel drive". The Traction Avant was introduced in 1934, just one year before André Citroën's passing. The Model 11 BL was the smaller four-door sedan, with its front doors rear-hinged, so they would open "Suicide-style"; the rear doors opening conventionally. The Traction Avant was notable in that it placed its wheels at the extreme corners of the monocoque chassis, providing good stability and a comfortable ride. Its 1.9-litre overhead-valve four-cylinder engine, three-speed gearbox (mounted ahead of the engine), and torsion-bar front suspension were affixed to a separate steel subframe. Ubiquitous in Europe, and the favoured get-away car for countless French gangster movies of the period, latterly a six-cylinder model was developed. The Model 11 BL remained in production for 23 years, and by the time it was supplanted by the much more modern DS, an estimated 76,000 had been manufactured.Chassis number ‘599547’ is a Paris-built 11 BL “Légère” Traction Avant, manufactured in 1952 and is understood to have been a resident of France until it was imported into the United Kingdom in 1981. Purchased by the vendor in 1983 and retained by him for the next forty-one years, the Citroën is said by the vendor to have already been in good condition including having a working valve radio and an interesting 1950s transfer on the glovebox lid showing a demoiselle advertising Igol motor oil. The Traction Avant also features the rare optional ‘Quillerry Viraflex’ sprung-type steering wheel in Grey. After seven years, the vendor decided that the Traction was due for improvement, and thereafter supplied it with a full restoration including bodywork refurbishment, a bare metal repaint in cellulose paint, powder-coated wheels, an interior refresh and full mechanical renovation, including a gearbox overhaul by specialists Peacock Engineering.Used sparingly since the restoration, the Citroen remained on the road until 2008 when it was stored off the road until 2023, with ‘TXS 731’ then provided a full mechanical recommissioning by a specialist. The brakes and other ancillary items were renewed with replacement parts as well as a full greasing throughout, servicing, and spark plugs, as well as attention to the carburettor, fuel system and tank. Passing an MOT test in July 2023 with no advisories, the Citroen is now offered as a very usable example of the 11BL. Offered with a current V5C Registration Document.

A real super saloon with an aluminium body, the X350-series Jaguar XJR was powered by a 4.2 litre supercharged V8 engine allied to a new six-speed ZF automatic transmission, said to offer better economy. With a quoted 395bhp, the model was reputedly capable of 155mph. All round air suspension with rear self-levelling was offered as part of the package.Manufactured in 2003, the XJR offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 30th of July that year. Finished in Black paintwork with a two-tone Black and Cream interior upholstery, the Jaguar was purchased into the current (second) ownership just two months later. Offered now with a modest mileage of just 78,000 miles from new, the vendor informs that the Jaguar is offered with ‘full service history’, with the majority of the services completed at main agents Hatfields Jaguar. Rated by the vendor as having ‘good’ bodywork and paintwork, ‘very good’ engine and ‘excellent’ electrical equipment, gearbox, and interior trim, the XJR is due to be offered with a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale.

Lot 1

Registration No: 274 XUA Chassis No: BE102964DLB MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2016Subject to a self-evident previous restorationEntered from a private collection of classic cars and tractorsUsed regularly for tours and shows during the current ownershipThe Standard 8 was introduced in 1953 at £481. The cheapest four-door saloon on the market, yet it boasted independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes and an economical O.H.V engine. At the same time in another part of the same building Standard were producing a very different engine, the Rolls Royce Avon jet aero engine of which 415 were made between 1951 and 1955. In 1954 the Eight was supplemented by the slightly more powerful Standard Ten which featured a wider chrome grille and was dubbed as “Britain’s outstanding small car, based on the fact that the Standard Eight and Ten have OHV engine and four-speed gearbox in contrast to Ford’s predilection for side-valves and three speeds, and their possession of happier gear ratios, and more urge than the Austin A30 or Morris Minor’’ (Motorsport Magazine). The Ten was supplemented in 1957 by an up-market version called the Pennant, with the Ten and the Pennant finally replaced by the Triumph Herald in 1961.Chassis BE102964DLB was manufactured in 1958 and is understood to have been supplied new to London, being first registered on the 5th of December that year. Finished in Green paintwork with complimentary Dark Green and White interior trim. In current ownership since 2016, the Ten has since been resident of a private collection of classic cars and tractors. The Ten has self-evidently been subject to a previous restoration and ‘274 XUA’ still presents well today, the Standard reputedly spent many years in a museum in Scotland and afterward was in the possession of the previous owner from 2005. Regularly used in the vendor’s custodianship covering around 1,000 miles per year, the Ten has been enjoyed on Standard Car Club tours and for summer shows. Provided with a full stainless steel exhaust system in current ownership, ‘274 XUA’ started readily and ran well during our photography session. Supplied with a history file that contains a few previous MOTs, a handbook, and a current V5C document. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Lot 80

Registration No: F640 DNG Chassis No: SCC082910KHD65159 MOT: November 2024Just 37,000 recorded miles1 of just 1,562 Lotus Esprit Turbo (X180) cars understood to have been made from 1987-1991Benefitting from some £11,000 worth of improvements since 2021In current ownership since 2017Desirable and collectible modern LotusThe Esprit metamorphosed through several series over the next two decades before the model's ultimate expression - the V8 - arrived in 1996. Lotus had first employed turbocharged induction in 1980 on the Essex Turbo Esprit, a limited edition model featuring the Blue/Red/Chrome livery of the Essex Overseas Petroleum Corporation, sponsor of Team Lotus from 1979 to 1981. The Essex paved the way for the series production Turbo Esprit, the arrival of which in April 1981 coincided with that of the S3 models. Despite having a wet sump, the Turbo's 2.2-litre Garrett-blown engine produced the same power (210bhp) as the Essex's dry-sump unit. The Turbo Esprit retained the aerodynamic body kit of the Essex cars and featured prominent 'Turbo Esprit' decals on the nose and sides. The Turbo's top speed was 148mph, with 60mph attainable in 6.1 seconds. In 1987, the Esprit was comprehensively restyled by Peter Stevens, who produced a less angular, more rounded and much more modern look. The turbocharged car's name was changed to 'Esprit Turbo', while the major mechanical updates were a Renault GTA gearbox and outboard rear brakes.Manufactured new in 1989, chassis number 65159 is one of just 1,562 Lotus Esprit Turbo (X180) supplied and was sold new to the home market, being first registered as ‘F640 DNG’ on the 25th of May that year. Finished in Calypso Red with Cream leather interior upholstery, the Lotus is understood to have only resided in the United Kingdom for around 12 months, the Esprit Turbo was exported to the car-friendly climate of Japan thereafter. Residing in Japan for the subsequent twenty-seven years, the Esprit was acquired by the vendor in 2017 and was subsequently repatriated. Retained by the vendor ever since, the Lotus has been substantially improved during this period, receiving over £11,000 worth of enhancement, which included bodywork repairs and repainting, servicing with new spark plugs, new emissions and turbocharger control pipes, retrimmed boot compartment, a brake refresh, and alloy wheel refurbishment. Offered with just 37,000 miles on the odometer, this is a low mileage desirable and collectible Lotus modern classic!

Lot 38

Registration No: DBP 238G Chassis No: 1R7043 MOT: ExemptRepatriated to the UK in 1989 and subsequently converted to RHDSubject to an extensive restoration in the late 1990sFitted with triple SU carburretors and a sports manifoldOffered with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate, collection of invoices and restoration photographsTriumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-around independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twin-cam engine supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, Fixed-Head two-seater and Fixed-Head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the vast majority of Series II production. 8,627 open two-seaters made were made.Supplied new by the Overseas Motors Corporation, Fort Worth, Texas, to John K. Harrell Jr. of Houston Texas. This Series 2 Roadster is finished in Silver wth a Black hood and hood cover. Inside, you’ll find Red trim looking splendid when complemented to a Silver car. Originally a left-hand drive market US car it now features a sports manifold and triple SUs with trumpets. Shipped to the UK around December 1989 ‘DBP 238G, was subsequently converted to a right-hand drive configuration. Its understood that in the late 1990s or early 2000s the Roadster was subjected to bodywork, paint and mechanical work, with a collection of restoration photographs on file. Fast forward to 2021 the Jaguar was the subject to £3,223 worth of work by Paul Brown Jaguar. Other work has included the fitment of electronic ignition.There is a collection of old MOT documentation dating back to 1989, the year of repatriation to the UK, and an original Jaguar Passport to Service. A Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate is also on file with a current V5C document. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Lot 96

Registration No: MCW 497J Chassis No: 1512201072 MOT: ExemptGenuine Karmann Beetle CabrioletExtensive restoration c.2012/1013Period accessoriesIn 1948, Wilhelm Karmann bought a standard Beetle and converted it into a four-seater convertible. After successfully presenting it at Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, Karmann began production of the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet in 1949. After a number of stylistic and technical alterations made to it, the last of 331,847 cabriolets came off the conveyor belt on the 10th of January, 1980, bringing with it the end of an era. In 1971, alongside continued production of the standard Beetle, a variant that featured Macpherson strut front suspension and a re-designed front end was introduced which was officially known and marketed in Europe as the 'VW 1302' from 1971 (August 1970) to 1972 model years, and 'VW 1303' from 1973 onwards. The VW Beetle has seduced many a first-time buyer, collector and classic car enthusiast. And for obvious reasons; the parts network is many and inexpensive, the ability to convert the base model into many different variants was always available and the cost of the car itself presented a gateway into classic car ownership.Offered here is a 1970 VW 1302 iteration of the Karmann Beetle Cabriolet. Said to offer better handling from its McPherson strut front end, this example benefited from an extensive ‘body-off’ restoration in 2012/13. Finished in the striking VW Hellas Gold paint, the car was first registered in Germany, with the German fahrzeugbrief logbook on file. Since import to the UK, it has been converted to right-hand drive at the time of restoration.The engine is a 1600cc unit with a Weber carburettor and a Freeway Flyer gearbox. A new mohair roof was fitted in 2021. The car has disc brakes all round. Inside, the Karmann Cabriolet has benefitted from recent seat covers and carpets and a ‘Flat 4’ EMPI GT – style steering wheel, there’s an EMPI gear shifter, DAB radio with Pioneer speakers and a USB socket. The Cabriolet has been re-wired with a cut-out switch and a Powerspark electronic ignition added, a new Bosch ‘blue coil’ and new HT leads & plugs recently fitted. The car rolls on SSP Porsche 914 2-litre-style alloys with Toyo tyres.Other work has included a new clutch cable and guides, bespoke under bonnet storage, a new fuel tank & spare wheel/ tyre, a front strut brace and rear lap belts. This genuine Karmann-built Cabriolet is offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Lot 90

Registration No: D320 UTU Chassis No: SCAZN0008HCH20627 MOT: April 2025Bought by the vendor from Stratstone Rolls-Royce in 1995Just 64,500 miles from newRated as ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendorOffered with original owner's wallet, handbooks and three stamped service booksPLEASE NOTE: The registration number for this lot is ‘D320 UTU’.The Silver Spur was the moniker adopted by Rolls-Royce for the long wheelbase versions of the Silver Spirit, and belonged to a new generation of models that also included that marque's Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine and Park Ward, and the Mulsanne and Eight Series models of its sister company, Bentley. Penned by Fritz Feller, the range was first represented at the 1980 Paris Salon and was a welcome replacement for the long-serving Silver Shadow and its siblings. The design was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorpan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent newcomer was lower and longer than its predecessor though and, courtesy of its finely-tuned hydraulic self-levelling suspension, was said to provide the best roadholding ever offered by the marque at that time. There were a total of four iterations of the range, via which the models remained in production until 1998.Supplied new on the 25th of February 1987 by Strattons Rolls-Royce of Wilmslow, the Silver Spur was finished from the factory in Graphite Grey paintwork with a Black Everflex roof and a Pale Grey with piped Slate leather interior trim, and the Rolls-Royce notably features factory parking sensors. Passing through the hands of four keepers before being acquired by the vendor in 1996 from Stratstone Rolls-Royce in Wilmslow (with the sales invoice included in the history file), the Silver Spur had covered just 55,000 miles at the time of purchase. Having covered a mere 9,500 miles during the vendor's twenty-eight-year ownership, the Rolls-Royce has now covered only 64,500 miles from new.Possessing a strong service history from 1987 until 2007 with nineteen stamps present across three service books, all the services were completed at Rolls-Royce's main agents. Since then the Silver Spur has been serviced by the vendor every two years, with one further main dealer service completed in this period by Sytner Rolls-Royce at 64,200 miles. Residing in a heated garage and reputedly never out in poor weather during the vendor's ownership, the Spur has been used sparingly. Offered with a large history file that contains the original wallet owner's wallet, including the handbook, three stamped service books and accessories guide, as well as original sales literature, aforementioned vendor sales invoice, a large collection of previous MOT certificates, previous invoices, and a current V5C document.Rated by the vendor as having ‘excellent’ bodywork, engine, gearbox, and interior trim, the paintwork is evaluated as ‘very good to excellent’, and the electrical equipment as ‘very good’ other than noting that the radio does not work (but is believed to be fuse related) and only the driver’s window works.

Registration No: 549 GYP Chassis No: 860554 MOT: ExemptOriginally built as a right-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé but was re-shelled as a Roadster during an extensive overhaul in the 1990sSupplied with a history file dating back to 1973 including Green continuation logbookA home market car that has been improved with features such as a full synchromesh 4.2 E-Type gearboxOwned by the vendor since 2018 and maintained regardless of costPLEASE NOTE:This lot has a fault with the electric hood which is not functioning. The fault is believed to be with the control module but this has not been confirmed.Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore on its debut and has become one of the most iconic designs in automotive history. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and accessible price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While early competition success in the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori among others helped cement its reputation on the racetrack, the list of celebrity owners ensured its cult status on the roads. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame a la D-Type, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave excellent road-holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-Type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph – figures the press cars certainly managed even if the standard ones couldn’t quite! Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its cockpit was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the sublime E-Type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.Understood to have been manufactured in 1962, chassis 860554 was purportedly first registered in July 1964. Built as a UK Market, right-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé in Blue. Little is known of the early history of the E-Type until 1973, when it was under the custodianship of Hardings Motors Ltd of London Road, Leigh-on-Sea. The car was purpotedly sold to a local gentleman by Hardings - a Mr. J.I. Gilmore of Church Road, Shoeburyness and then through the hands of a number of owners (one as far away as Plymouth) before it was apparently laid up until the 1980s. By this point, it is understood that '549 GYP' was bought by a Gentleman who was ex-Jaguar who deemed it necessary to overhaul it. For whatever reason (either increasing values of Roadsters particularly or a very rotten FHC shell) the car was re-shelled as a Roadster during this extensive overhaul which included painting the new bodywork in Sherwood Green and trimming the interior in tan leather to full 1964 3.8 Litre E-Type specification including the vinyl covered centre console. The 3.8 Litre engine unit was also overhauled around this time and it is believed that the fully synchromesh gearbox from a 4.2 Litre car was fitted to improve the driving experience in place of the original Moss gearbox. Having been in the ownership of two other enthusiasts since this period, the owner (who owns a number of fine Jaguars) bought '549 GYP' in 2018 to 'cover for' his other E-Type whilst it was away being restored and has enjoyed a number of long trips and rallies with the car. The car has been maintained exceptionally within the vendor's ownership, who describes it as being 'ready to go anywhere' as it is in 'very good' order mechanically. The history file backs up these claims and includes a number of service receipts and invoices for shotblasting and repainting the inside of the bonnet and headlamp bowls and the fitment of a Lucas 123 distributor. Now, with a driveway and garage filling up with a number of 'Big Cats', including his original E-Type that is back home from restoration, it is time for this iconic vehicle to find a new, loving home.On our inspection, we were greeted with the pleasing sight of the Sherwood Green paintwork with Black Mohair hood, which the present owner describes as being in 'very good' order, having stood up remarkably well given that the overhaul was completed in 1995. The Tan Leather upholstery has also worn with an attractive patina which is to be expected from nearly 30 years of loving ownership. However, please note that if you are of the opinion that everything must be of concours standard, it will need some amount of work to arrive to that level. The car started remarkably quickly when we visited the car with the note of the legendary twin-cam straight six resembling a purr through a fresh looking stainless steel exhaust system.Presenting the perfect opportunity to own a 3.8 Litre Series 1 E-Type Roadster at a much lower premium than a more original car might, this Jaguar would make a fantastic drivers' car for anybody who can overlook a six-digit number stamped on a chassis plate - after all, just look at it!

Representing outstanding value at under £200, the Midget's 847cc, overhead-camshaft, Wolseley-derived engine was coupled to a four-speed gearbox and housed in a simple D-Type chassis frame with half-elliptic springing all round and solid front and rear axles and braking by cable-operated 8-inch drums. Its race-bred pedigree and classic sporting appearance made the J2 extremely popular in period, before the J-Type model range was superseded by the PA, and they remain highly sought after by collectors today.Chassis J2048 was delivered new to the Scottish Motor Traction Company on the 12th of September 1932 and is understood to have been one of the earliest, if not first J2 registered in Scotland, being registered ‘FS 5757’. Used as a demonstrator by SMT and rallied as part of a marketing exercise by employee Miss Marjorie Dickson, the J2 was successful in its competition, with several podiums and first places achieved in the hands of Miss Dickson (a full rally history records are at the base of the description). In private ownership for a few years of Miss Dickson’s competing, latterly rediscovered by MG historian Iain Wright of Glasgow in 1983 as a rolling chassis and coachwork, the vendor acquired the MG in 1986 and embarked on a full restoration over the ensuing twenty years.The original chassis (correctly stamped) was restored; the OHC MM engine sourced was overhauled and the cylinder head was given new valves, camshaft, and guides; new carburettors fitted; the dynamo was renewed; springs renovated; steering was restored by Sports and Vintage Motors; a new ash frame supplied; a full flow oil system fitted; wheels powder coated; the interior fully retrimmed; headlamps restored by Vintage Headlight Restoration; and full repainting. Invoices on file total some £16,500 worth of expenditure, with the J2 used occasionally for local runs and is now displaying in excellent condition and in as close as possible to its original colour combination of Red paintwork with Red interior trim.Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the J2 is supplied with an excellent history file across multiple folders including the aforementioned invoice file, with additional documentation including copies of the original record card, correspondence with the factory, letters from the Dalrymple family, and other sundry paperwork. Featuring in both ‘How They Ran – J1s and J2s in Competition’ and ‘75 Years of the J2 MG’ by Mike Hawke, arguably the most interesting items in the history file are a selection of period photographs of the MG in active competition under Miss Dickson. Also accompanying is the hood trimmed in Tan, jack, and sidescreens (not trimmed).Now offered for sale due to the vendor’s advancing years and an MG TA project ongoing, this is an opportunity to purchase a notably nice J2 with very interesting provenance.April 1933 – MGCC Half Day Trial; 1stMay 1933 – E & DMC Scottish Six Day Trial; 1st in ClassJune 1933 – RSAC Scottish RallyJune 1934 – SSCC Half Day Trail; 1st in ClassJune 1934 – SSCC 24 Hour Reliability Run; 1st in ClassJuly 1934 – TVMC Inaugural RallySeptember 1934 – SSCC Half Day Trail; 3rd in Class & Winner of SSCC Mitchell TrophyJune 1935 – RSAC Scottish Rally; Gold Cup For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: LFL 369L Chassis No: 95100686A MOT: ExemptSubject to an extensive restoration that only recently completedFinished in the correct hue of NATO Green satin paintwork to a very high standardNicely detailed and presented very wellStarted readily and ran well during the recent consignmentThe smallest Land Rover available at the time was a Series IIA 88 inch wheelbase, which was too heavy. A new modification to the basic Series IIA was devised by making many body components easily detachable and removing many non-essential items. The result was the Land Rover Half-Ton, known widely as the Lightweight or Airportable. In practice, to reduce weight sufficiently for the helicopters of the day to lift them in combat conditions, the tilt and sticks, the upper parts of the body, the doors and windscreen were removed, to be refitted later. The most significant change, however, was a reduction in width by four inches, by redesigning the standard Series IIA axles and fitting shorter half-shafts, which meant it would fit on a standard pallet. Complete, the Lightweight IIA weighed 1202 kg, over the specified weight and heavier in fact than a 'standard' Land Rover. The term Lightweight was, therefore, confusing. However, with the removable body panels taken-off it was below the limit. Since improvements to the helicopters meant more lift was available, the Ministry of Defence accepted it for use. Production continued until 1984.Chassis ‘95100686A’ was supplied new to the military in 1972, understood to have been retained by them until 1986 when the Lightweight was road registered. Passing through the hands of three keepers before being acquired by the vendor in 2019, the Land Rover was partially restored but required completion upon purchase. Since then, the Land Rover has undergone a comprehensive restoration throughout, the final stages of which were completed at the start of this year, including new rear springs (correct for Lightweights) and shock absorbers, a new carburettor, and an interior retrim in the correct Black vinyl.The restoration has focused on using new old stock panels where possible and ‘LFL 369L’ has been painted in the correct hue of NATO Green satin paintwork to a very high standard. Under bonnet areas, as well as the interior and rear load bed are nicely detailed, with stainless fixings used where possible, as well as all new brake lines throughout. The electric system has benefitted from a full new wiring loom which has been correctly fitted through the chassis. This was complemented by new lights and bezels all round and a dashboard refresh, including the troublesome capillary oil temperature gauge system.Mechanically the vendor informs that the 2.25 engine functions as it should and is painted in ‘Duck Egg Blue' as most of the Military reconditioned engines were. The ignition system has been upgraded to electronic breaker-less and all new plugs/leads. The vendor informs that the gearbox, transfer box, and four-wheel drive system are all excellent and that the wheels and tyres are of the period correct 6.50x16 size including the bonnet-mounted spare. Starting readily and running well during the recent consignment, this very well presented Lightweight is a rare chance to acquire a comprehensively restored example with nice attention to detail.

Due to its rarity and value the model has inspired numerous imitations. Though, few - if any - have been as aesthetically accurate as the cars built by Terry Rowing of TRAC Engineering. By the late 1980s Rowing had established an enviable reputation for restoring genuine SS100s and learnt how to remanufacture components such as the solid brass chromed radiator surround, alloy louvered bonnet and folding windscreen etc. Deciding to create a Jaguar XJ6-based SS100 Evocation that combined the style and feel of the original with more modern road manners, he approached current Red Bull F1 designer Adrian Newey (a customer at the time) for permission to take precise GRP body moulds from the latter's superb 1938 car. Unveiled in late 1990 the resultant TRAC prototype was well received by the motoring press. The production version was predominantly supplied in 'home-build' form at the rate of four a year until 1996 when the manufacturing rights were purchased by Roger Williams of Suffolk Sportscars. Reborn and refined as the Suffolk SS100, the design remained in production until 2020. According to its accompanying history file, this particular example was factory-built by Suffolk Sportscars Ltd to ‘top works specification’ in 2008 utilising the donor identity of a 1969 Jaguar XJ6 S1 4.2 litre SWB Saloon. Finished in British Racing Green with Black leather upholstery, the two-seater features Brooklands aeroscreens, reproduction Lucas QK596 headlights, ‘Owl Eye’ style rear lights, silver-faced instruments and a Black mohair hood (plus matching tonneau cover). Opening the louvered alloy bonnet reveals polished camshaft covers and twin SU carburettors (the latter with pancake filters). Overhauled by marque specialist VSE, the ‘fast road’ 4.2 litre straight-six engine boasts a lightened flywheel and balanced internals. Allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, it imbues the SS100 with a rapid and long-legged gait. Purchased by its previous keeper, N. Sykes Esq., for the princely sum of £68,600 in 2014, the Suffolk spent the next four years on the Isle of Man where it sported the number plate ‘MAN 100’. A frequent returnee to the factory for servicing, the two-seater was re-registered as ‘ADO 677’ by the DVLA not long after entering the current ownership during 2018. Listed on the accompanying V5C Registration Document as a ‘1969 Jaguar Convertible, Green’, it remains just as smart as the modest 13,000 miles displayed to its odometer would suggest. The vendor has made preliminary enquiries about having the car IVA tested but not borne the associated circa £6,000 - £8,000 expense after receiving conflicting advice as to its necessity. Regularly MOT tested up until this year, ‘ADO 677’ started readily thanks to its electronic 1-2-3 ignition upgrade and ran well during a recent test drive. All but guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes, this decidedly handsome, factory-bult Suffolk SS100 is offered for sale with history file, tool kit, battery conditioner and wind wings etc. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Some owners are never fully content and try to improve the ownership experience, which is where the creator of this car comes in.Completed in c.2018, the initiator of this build had said he always loved the lines of the Mk2, but was concerned that after years of being spoiled by the sheer convenience of modern cars, the reality of driving such an old car simply couldn’t live up to the dream. His answer was simple, he would get one bespoke-built just the way he wanted it. His first task was to source the best possible shell he could find, the solution coming in the form of a 'virtually rust-free' two-owner Mk2 2.4 model dating from October 1967, which he bought in 2012. Over the next six years he had the car 'professionally rebuilt from the ground-up', adding many upgrades along the way.Highlights of the full 2018 specification include a fully overhauled 3.8 Litre engine with new pistons etc., mated to a reconditioned Jaguar X300 automatic gearbox. Uprated systems include disc brakes and rear coil suspension conversions, copper extra-cored radiator, Kenlowe fan, heating and ventilation including modern air conditioning from RetroAir USA, electrically adjustable X300 sport seats, inertia-reel seat belts front and rear; Nardi steering wheel; modern sound system, new door, boot and screen rubbers, 4 new 15” MWS 72-spoke chrome wire wheels with new Avon tyres; the list goes on.Halfway through the build the then owner saw details of the upgraded Mk2 Jaguar that Ian Callum (Director of Design at Jaguar) had specially commissioned Classic Motor Cars Ltd (CMC) to make for him on his retirement. Taking inspiration from that car, he copied the front and rear styling, ditching the heavy chrome bumpers in favour of lightweight resin bumpers moulded to the shape of the car and painted in body colour, a mesh grille being added for a more sporting look. The wheel arches were also subtly flared and the whole car treated to a bare metal repaint in Rouge Lucifer (Diablo Red) Metallic. Now wearing Silver to the bumpers and in need of some fettling, it is offered at a fraction of the costs lavished upon it in 2018. It needs to be noted a mechanical issue coming from the engine compartment is present and the Jaguar has also recently been returned to the UK from Spain and has been marked for export by the DVLA so duty will be owing.

Derived from the contemporaneous E36 3-Series Saloon (though, its semi-trailing arm rear suspension was courtesy of the earlier E30), the Roadster's running gear included power-assisted rack and pinion steering, Macpherson strut independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by 1.8 or 1.9 litre four-cylinder engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission, larger capacity 2.8 Litre straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards. Boasting 52:48 weight distribution and a top speed of over 125mph, the stylish two-seater found fame as James Bond's transport in the 1995 film Goldeneye.Offered here is a BMW Z3 with the 1895cc engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Silver with a Silver factory hardtop, as well as the Black factory power soft-top, the vendor describes it as a ‘beautiful car in really good condition’ with a low mileage of some 69,000 miles.

Registration No: LBW 888E Chassis No: GHN399414 MOT: February 2025Acquired by previous keeper, E.F. Williams Esq, in 1980 and cherished across the next four decadesTreated to much work by Brown & Gammons in the 1980s and an Oselli conversion during 2003'Stage 2' 1995cc engine, sports recliner seats, alloy bonnet, uprated front discs, honed suspesnion etcChrome bumper looks but with enhanced performance and handling capabilitiesIntroduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph (especially if specified with overdrive), the provision of disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering greatly aided control. However, the biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced. The accompanying history file for this appealing, chrome bumpered Roadster dates back to 5th June 1980 when its longest-term owner – E.F. Williams Esq – bought it from well-known MG B exponent Barry Sidery-Smith of Westbury Garage for £2,150. Retaining the two-seater across four decades, Mr Williams commissioned renowned marque specialist Brown & Gammons to restore the bodywork in 1986 before agreeing a series of upgrades with David Eales of Oselli some seventeen years later. As well as being fitted with an Oselli ‘Stage 2’ lead-free 1995cc engine, the Roadster had its gearbox and back axle overhauled. The brakes and suspension were uprated to cope with the extra power and torque (later measured at 119bhp/142lbft) and the fresh coat of Woodland Green paint offset by Black leather sports recliner seats. In all the work cost some £13,308.28. Thereafter the MG was treated to a new mohair hood in 2007 and a replacement starter motor, alternator and gearbox (with associated transmission tunnel modifications) in 2016. Still highly presentable, ‘LBW 888E’ sports a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, alloy bonnet, silver-painted wire wheels and negative earth electrics. Starting readily upon inspection, ‘LBW 888E’ is a tribute to Mr Williams’ caring ownership and Oselli’s workmanship.

It does everything you’d hope a Ferrari would but with such polish, precision, and ease that you don’t have to think twice about unleashing all its performance. There is perhaps no other car yet made that combines so much raw emotion with so much technical finesse (EVO magazine, June 1999)’Introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the F355, the 360 was an entirely new design featuring an aluminium spaceframe chassis which was 40% stiffer and 28% lighter than the tubular steel arrangement of its predecessor. The revised bodywork resulted in downforce improving by a factor of four over the F355. Powered by a 3.6-litre V8 coupled to either a six-speed manual or F1 electrohydraulic manual transmission, the 360's lighter weight improved the 0-60 mph dash to just 4.2 seconds with a nominal top speed of over 180mph. In 2001, the spider version was introduced, the stiffness of the spaceframe being ideally suited to handle an open top. This was followed in 2003 by the ultimate incarnation - the 360 racing series inspired Challenge Stradale - featuring a number of weight saving and tuning modifications by the factory.1 of just 513 UK-supplied, right-hand drive examples fitted with the F1 transmission, ‘Y302 YNC’ was registered new to the first owner in July 2001 through the supplying dealership, Stratsone Ferrari of Wilmslow, Cheshire. Finished in Grigio Titanio (Grey) Metallic paintwork with the optional embellished ‘Scuderia Ferrari’ shields on the wings, the interior is trimmed in Maroon leather interior upholstery, with a Black leather dashboard top, and the weather protection is provided in the form of a Black fabric convertible hood, which has been renewed during the Ferraris life and worked perfectly during our photography session.In current ownership since 2016, the 360 was purchased from the previous eleven-year custodian, and since the purchase, the vendor has lavished over £15,500 worth of expenditure on the Ferrari, notably including new radiators in 2018, significant cosmetic improvements in 2019, and at the end of 2023 a major service and cambelt change with new idler pulleys, as well as the gearbox actuator being overhauled, with less than 100 miles covered since this major service and belt change. The comprehensive history file also documents significant expenditure before the vendor’s ownership, which was completed by Ferrari specialists.The history file further includes the original book pack in the Ferrari wallet including the stamped service book that contains eleven service stamps, several previous MOT certificates, a current no advisory MOT certificate until October 2024, numerous (aforementioned) invoices for expenditure and improvement, and a current V5C document. Also accompanying the car is the Ferrari leather-bound tool kit and a fitted car cover, and the 360 Spider is offered now with a warranted 42,400 miles from new. The Ferrari 360 is a thrilling supercar, with the Spider even more aurally exciting than the Modena coupe thanks to being able to drop the roof to listen to the glorious V8 behind you; this is a well-maintained example with modest mileage. It is now ready to be cherished and enjoyed on the road by a new owner. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: 934 XVN Chassis No: GHNL88411 MOT: ExemptPowered by a MGB 1800 engine and gearboxFinished in British Racing Green with a Cream interiorSubject to an extensive restoration in 2021Offered with history fileIntroduced in Autumn 1955, the MGA Roadster married a proven chassis design complete with independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering to a new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory's successful EX182 prototype racers (5th- and 6th-in-class at that year's Le Mans) its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Continually updated, the MGA range was joined by Coupe and 'Twin Cam' variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively. Prompted by the latter's performance advantage, the standard pushrod model received a capacity increase to 1588cc and front disc brakes in May 1959. The resultant '1600' MKI was capable of almost 100mph.‘934 XVN’ began life as a 1960 export model for a left-hand drive market. Repatriated and subsequently converted to right-hand drive upon arrival in the UK, '934 XVN’ was restored in March 2021. We believe the MGB 1800cc engine, gearbox and overdrive were mated to the car at this stage. With an interior trimmed in Cream leather with Black piping, ‘XVN’ is finished in the traditional shade of British Racing Green. Finishing off the iconic appearance of a British sportscar is a wood rim steering wheel with matching gear knob, chrome wire wheels, bumpers and a chrome rear luggage rack plus side screens, indeed, every inch of this MGA appears to have been afforded a refresh. Accompanying the little Roadster are a quantity of related books and a history file of paperwork. The MG is offered with a current V5C document.

Victor Bruce’s win in the 1926 Monte Carlo RallyPLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press, we have been informed that the first Aceca had a single, passenger door only.It is therefore thought that this lot is a Royal Two-Seater with Dickey model. Although AC’s reputation was established by John Weller’s highly advanced overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine fitted to this example, which offered 15.7bhp and 75mph in period, its early offerings relied on proprietary four-cylinder engines. The AC Six chassis featured quarter-elliptic springing front and rear, a three-speed gearbox in unit with the rear axle and worm final drive. Front-wheel brakes were optional at first, standard issue from 1927. Rated at 12hp for taxation purposes the four-cylinder AC remained in production until 1926, the firm relying exclusively on the Weller 15.7hp six thereafter. The Six took its place in history at the hands of AC works driver, The Hon. Victor Austin Bruce’s, achieving an outright win at the 1926 Monte Carlo Rally.Chassis 12651 was manufactured new in the year of The Hon. Victor Austin Bruce’s Monte Carlo Rally win, 1926, being supplied new to the United Kingdom and first registered on the 16th of July that year. Fitted with two-seater coachwork with dickie seat, the AC is presented in the attractive colour combination of British Racing Green paintwork with Black wings, and complementary Green interior upholstery. It is accompanied by its full weather equipment (hood, tonneau, and sidescreens) trimmed in Black, and features a three-speed box and rear brakes. Purchased from a friend of the vendor, who had owned the Six since 1988, the vendor acquired ‘YP 3916’ in 1994 and has used the car on several runs and rallies including touring the Cotswolds.Coming off the road in 2020, following the lockdown, the AC has remained off the road since and will therefore require a degree of recommissioning before pressing into use again. Despite this, during this period 12651 has benefitted from relined brakes and an overhauled magneto. The vendor informs that he believes the AC is ‘very good throughout mechanically’ and therefore only a light recommissioning should be required. Offered with a current V5C document showing just three former keepers, ‘YP 3916’ with the famous Weller’s six-cylinder engine is a very usable 1920s car and would be a great recommissioning project.

Registration No: F159 TLX Chassis No: WP0ZZZ92ZJS841537 MOT: October 2024Subject to mechanical overhaul, interior re-fresh and a respray in Gloss Black between 2020-2021Unusual specification including Red interior inserts, factory heated seats and sliding roofExtensive history fileStyled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche's front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different to the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company's first foray into grand touring territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of the Year Award. Debuting in 1986 for the 1987 model year, the S4 variant featured an updated version of the 5.0-litre V8 producing some 316hp and a larger torque converter on automatic transmission examples along with numerous styling updates to give the car a sleeker appearance. Production of the S4 ended in 1991 along with the GT model to make way for the 5.4-litre GTS which would last until 1995.First registered on 1st September 1988, this lovely Porsche 928 S4 is presented in Gloss Black with a contrasting Red and Black leather interior. ‘F159 TLX’ has an unusual specification with the Red interior, but was also specified with factory heated seats, additional amplifier, back support and electrical sliding roof.In January 2021, the car was sold to a previous owner, who undertook the task of making it ‘perfect’. In late 2020, the car had received extensive works with Simon Ainsworth Engineering, including Gaz suspension, braided brake lines, replacement steering rack bushes, the intake manifold and cam covers re-finished and re-fitted, injector seals, the underside Waxoyled, replacement front discs and pads, the gearbox and diff oil replaced and further fettling. Air conditioning was retrofitted with Climate Components Ltd.In April 2021, the car was subject to replacement carpets (including door panel carpet), the centre console armrest was retrimmed, further interior fettling and then subject to a complete respray in Gloss Black with Alchemy Paint Ltd. The parts used were primarily purchased directly from Porsche, including door seals and window guides. The wheels were then refurbished with Spit & Polish Alloy Wheel Reburbishment Services and after the car was complete, it was sold to the previous owner. ‘F159 TLX’ was sold to the vendor in a deal for one of his many historic race cars in 2023 and it is now offered for sale due to lack of use, having been stored in a professional facility since.Included with the vehicle is a comprehensive history file. Within is the original Porsche book pack, which includes the Porsche 928 S4 Driver’s manual, pocket guide to Porsche ownership, Porsche Approved programme handbook, Porsche service book and the Guarantee and Maintenance booklet which contains 16 stamps; the most recent at 119,619 miles. Also included is a large collection of invoices dating back as far as 1995, a large collection of MOT certificates dating back to 1999, a spare key and the current V5C document which displays 11 former keepers.

Registration No: CJV 17 Chassis No: B342MD MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 1971Offered with chassis cars, records and a collection of invoicesOriginal tool kit, jack and registration numberFactory maintenance/service manual, old tax discs, a copy of the old-style logbookIntroduced in 1946, Bentley's MkVI was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. Aimed at the emerging 'owner-driver' luxury car market, the newcomer was closely based on the 1939 MkV (of which only fifteen were produced). Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc OISE (overhead inlet side exhaust valve) straight-six engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MkVI quickly developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive.Residing in ownership with the vendor for some 50 years, since 1971 to be more precise, we understand it was supplied new to the Limestone Farming co. Ltd in Gainsborough and to this day, still wears its original 1951 registration number ‘CJV 17’.With a largely original interior, it has seen a new headlining and there is also a working clock. Over the years ‘CJV’ has been Waxoyled four times and benefitted from a new radiator and a stainless-steel exhaust. It is understood there was an engine overhaul in the late 1970s and more recently it has benefitted from attention to the brakes. Accessories include the original jack with handle, wheel brace, tyre levers, spats and a complete tool tray. Additionally, ‘CJV 17’ has flashing indicators and a tow bar.Along with a collection of old MOT documentation dating back to 1975, also on file are the chassis card records, a collection of invoices, factory maintenance/service manual, old tax discs, a copy of the old-style logbook and the original handbook plus the current V5C. We are advised a number of spares are available by separate negotiation. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: J190 PKV Chassis No: WBABB22000EC16204 MOT: March 2025Rare and desirable Motorsport example, being 1 of only 250 produced in right-hand drive1 of only 50 manufactured in the final year (1991) and 1 of only 25 finished in Calypso Red Subject to a comprehensive restoration in 2010Current ownership since 2009 and seven former keepersPLEASE NOTE: This lot has eight former keepers instead of seven as catalogued.This lot has a fault with the electric hood which is not functioning. The fault is believed to be with the control module but this has not been confirmed. The 325i Motorsport was a limited-edition variant based on the 325i Convertible which was available between 1981 and 1991. There was a total of 590 cars produced and 250 in right-hand drive. The Motorsport kept mostly standard 325i running gear other than the addition of M-Technic sports suspension. Offered with the choice of manual or automatic gearboxes, the Motorsports were unique to the rest of the E30 range because of the paint colours and interior trims on offer. Colours were Macau Blue, Calypso Red, Sebring Grey, Mauritius Blue and Nagaro Silver depending on model year, with the interiors offered in an extended leather covering not only for the seats but the whole door card, centre and handbrake consoles as well as the ashtray. The early cars started with un-kitted metal bumpered cars (M-Tech 1 kit was an optional extra) through to plastic bumpered cars with the M-Tech 2 kit fitted as standard on later examples. The Motorsport cost over £30,000 when new.Manufactured in 1991, the 325i Motorsport was supplied new to the United Kingdom being registered on the 1st of August that year. This example is one of only 25 Motorsports manufactured in Calypso Red and is allied to the Lotus White leather Motorsport interior trim (only fitted to 1991 cars) which has recently been reconnolised. Provided with a comprehensive restoration in 2010, the BMW was subject to mechanical overhaul, suspension refurbishment, interior refresh, and the Black hood was replaced. Since then, the BMW has further been provided with renewed cooling equipment (including new water pump) in 2020, additional interior improvement and rear brake shoes in 2019. Supplied with a history file that includes a collection of past invoices, a small number of previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C document. Provided with a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2024, ‘J190 PKV’ is offered having covered a total of 122,500 miles (atoc) from new, the BMW has been in the current ownership for twelve years and has eight former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, paintwork, and electrical equipment as 'very good’, with the engine, gearbox and interior trim as ‘excellent’. A rare and desirable model in one of the most scarce of the limited colours. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: NNB 259G Chassis No: 1R8948 MOT: ExemptDesirable 'matching numbers' example with just 12,000 recorded milesFinished in its original colour combination of Primrose Yellow paintwork with a Black leather interior and Black hoodLong-term previous ownership (thirty years)Recent new mohair hood and full repaintOffered with Heritage CertificatePLEASE NOTE: This lot now has a saleroom estimate of £50,000 - £60,000.Interested parties should note that with the minimal use the E-Type has seen, a degree of recommissioning should be anticipated.Triumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-around independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twin-cam engine supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, Fixed-Head two-seater and Fixed-Head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the vast majority of Series II production. 8,627 open two-seaters made were made.Chassis 1R8948 was dispatched to British Leyland, New York on the 3rd of May 1969, and was finished in arguably the best E-Type colour combination of Primrose Yellow paintwork with complementary Black leather interior trim and a Black hood – pleasingly the same livery in which the car is very smartly presented today. Among the accompanying history file is a document from the Illinois-based keeper who purchased the Jaguar in 1987 from the previous owner who had purchased the E-Type as a retirement fund and thus had scarcely used ‘1R8948’ with a view of maintaining its value. Retaining the Jaguar from 1987 to 2014, the document details his tenure; including the long periods of storage that account for the car's incredibly low mileage, as well as extensive improvements.Repatriated in 2014, the E-Type is now offered with just 12,067 miles on the odometer, making this 55-year-old matching numbers E-Type barely run in! At some stage, it has benefited from having its power-strangling Stromberg carburettors replaced by a trio of UK specification SUs, and having been converted to right-hand-drive. In current ownership since 2019, the vendor has again scarcely used the E-Type to maintain the low mileage. Offered with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate; reproduction handbook and workshop manual; a collection of invoices and a current V5C. Clearly the subject of ongoing maintenance over time, 'NNB 259G' boasts a previously retrimmed interior; brake and suspension overhaul including new bushes; a new mohair hood, exhaust system and Michelin tyres. The Jaguar was also repainted as recently as 2018. Surely one of the lowest mileage E-Type examples extant! For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Derived from the Mitsubishi HSX concept car that had appeared at the previous year’s Tokyo Motor Show, the newcomer bristled with cutting edge technology much of which is still being employed in today’s supercars including four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, electronically controlled suspension, active aerodynamics and twin turbos. Styled by Masuru Suzuki, the 2+2-seater featured a distinctive ‘Coke bottle’ silhouette and cossetting interior. Eager not to incur Ferrari’s wrath, Mitsubishi marketed its flagship sportscar as the ‘3000 GT’ in Europe.Chassis ‘Z16A0000990’ was supplied new to the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), before arriving in the United Kingdom in 1998. Fitted with the 3-litre DOHC 24v V6 engine producing 225hp allied to a five-speed manual transmission, the Mitsubishi is finished in Monza Red paintwork with two-tone Grey cloth interior upholstery, and features cruise control, Carrozzerla cassette radio, climate control, and electric windows. Purchased into current ownership in 2014 through auction, at which stage the Mitsubishi was described as in 'good' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, it was also reported to have just benefited a recently renewed clutch assembly and had been regularly serviced.Placed into static display in dry storage since purchase by the vendor in 2014, the GTO now does require a thorough recommissioning although starts and proceeds under its own power, although the brakes certainly will require attention. Offered now with 61,000 miles on the odometer and has just three former keepers. Intended purchasers should note that the new owner will need to apply for a V5C document as there is not one present.

Development of the L322 however, had already been largely shipped out to Munich but the L322’s slick and clean modern design came from Solihull. Geoff Upex had become Rover’s design chief and concept director in 1995 and it was his vision for the L322 that beat a proposition from BMW’s chief designer, Chris Bangle. Monocoque construction transformed the L322’s on-road manners.Prior to the previous owner, 'MJ02 ODB' was a demonstrator at Land Rover Bury with the vendor purchasing it from them on 12th August 2014 when the mileage was a mere 37,183 miles. The current mileage is still relatively low at 66,300 miles. Throughout the duration of the current vendor, the Vogue has been regularly serviced and maintained with works carried out including having the gearbox overhauled, a new alternator and a new compressor for the air suspension. Serviced in the last twelve months, it possesses an extensive service history with the main agent or a Land Rover specialist. The vendor advises us that ‘all the necessary maintenance has been carried out as required’. Offered with a large collection of invoices and old MOT paperwork, the owner’s wallet with its service book, there is also a current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: DN 933 Chassis No: 942464 MOT: ExemptAn original Trafford Park-built, right-hand drive Model TBodied as a Landaulette and understood to have served as a taxi for many yearsFeatured on screen in 'Peaky Blinders', 'Downton Abbey' and 'Mr Selfridge' etcEntered from a private collectionPLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have spoken to Neil Tuckett of Tuckett Bros whose opinion of ‘DN 933’ is that it is “Probably the best surviving Town Car in the UK”. Mr Tuckett confirms that he sorted the Ford’s engine out and believes he has quite some paperwork on file relating to the car which he is more than happy to share with a new keeper including (perhaps) a copy of the 1967 bill of sale from the original owner.Launched in 1908, the T's chassis and mechanical components were made from exceptionally durable, high-grade vanadium steel. The Ford also featured a compact 2890cc, side-valve, four-cylinder engine that pioneered the use of a detachable cylinder head. Mounted in unit with the clutch and two-speed epicyclic gearbox assembly, it developed some 23hp at a leisurely 1,600rpm and 80lbft of torque. Top speed was limited to around 45mph depending upon bodywork, whilst brakes operated on both the transmission and rear wheels. With the introduction of a moving assembly line in 1913, Henry Ford famously turned his Model T into the world's first mass-made car. A year later, Model Ts represented 56% of all automobiles manufactured in the USA. However, it was not just the sheer volume of Model Ts rolling off the production line that motorised America, it was the inherent quality of the design. A real rarity, this right-hand drive Model T is understood to have been built at Ford’s Trafford Park factory complete with the Landaulette body it retains to this day. The registration number ‘DN 933’ was issued in York during January 1921 and the Ford is believed to have seen service there for many years as a Hackney Carriage. The engine currently installed (number 942464) dates from October 1915 and is assumed to be original to the chassis. The leather upholstery (including the fold down occasional rear seats) has a great deal of age to it but remains usable. Proudly sporting a supplier’s plaque from the renowned Model T specialist Tuckett Bros., ‘DN 933’ entered the current family ownership in February 2008. Part of a large private collection that was hired out for film and television work from time to time, the Landaulette has reputedly starred in ‘Peaky Blinders’, ‘Downton Abbey’, ‘War Horse’ and ‘Mr Selfridge’ being repainted different colours depending upon the production crew’s wishes. Starting readily upon inspection, ‘DN 933’ exhibits a pleasing patina and benefits from coil ignition, electric start and a two-speed rear axle. Surely, a ‘must have’ acquisition for a UK Model T collector? Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, period Halda taxi meter and sundry paperwork.

Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC’s C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167 lbft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations. Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MkII and MkIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MkIII BJ8 in October 1963. Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast grand tourer. With engine output boosted to 148bhp and 165lbft of torque thanks to a new camshaft and better valve springs etc, its reputed 124mph top speed was accessed via a four-speed manual gearbox. Last of the line, the Phase Two variant benefited from redesigned rear suspension, strengthened splined hubs and larger diameter front disc brakes.Chassis ‘40857’ was completed on the 13th of March 1967 as a North American export car and was dispatched on the 31st of March that year destined for a dealership in Baltimore, United States of America. Specified from the factory with wire wheels, overdrive, an adjustable steering column, heater, Road Speed tyres, a laminated windscreen and a Black tonneau cover. Finished from new in metallic Golden Beige paintwork, with Black interior trim and hood, the Big Healey was repatriated to Britain in 1991 as a restoration project and was subject to repainting and converted to right-hand drive before returning to the road in 1992, before being purchased by the vendor in 2003 from renowned Austin-Healey specialist Murray Scott Nelson.Extensively improved throughout the vendor's ownership, the notable works include a carburettor refurbishment, new rear hub extensions, renewed starting equipment in 2021; front brake pads and rear brake shoes in 2020; heater and cold air trunking in 2019; new fuel tank in 2017; new wiring harness throughout in 2016; complete bodywork restoration and repainting in metallic Golden Beige paint (in a slightly stronger colour than the original) in 2015; new rear brake drums and shoes in 2014; new rear shock absorbers and new wire wheels in 2013. Earlier work also included a reconditioned overdrive and unleaded cylinder head, cylinder bores honed and new rings, new big end bearings, and stainless steel exhaust, and the 3000 has been serviced annually during the vendor’s ownership.Used widely while with the vendor touring the Outer Hebrides, Ireland, the Black Forest, Berlin, France, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, and Sweden, with some 50,000 miles covered during the twenty-one years with the vendor. Offered with a large history file that includes the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a vast selection of invoices for improvements and parts, a large collection of MOT certificates dating back to 1992, numerous photographs covering the bodywork restoration and repaint, breakdown of the improvement works completed while with the vendor, and a current V5C document, as well as two sets of keys, full weather gear in Black, and a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, this Healey is a very well-sorted example offered in an attractive colour scheme.

The latter became a familiar sight the length and breadth of the UK serving tradesmen and delivery drivers alike. Powered by three different A-Series OHV four-cylinder engines during its twelve-year production life, the diminutive commercial was surprisingly fun to drive thanks to the provision of independent front suspension, a well-located hypoid rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes. With so many worked into the ground, survivors are comparatively few and far between.First registered in the UK on 9th October 1962 and destined for Evans Motors Limited, Camarthen and then likely, Lloyd Motors, Aberayron (dealer sticker on the car) for Thomas Davies of Treberfedd Farm, Lampeter, and just 1 former keeper is recorded on the V5C. Accompanied by a BMIHT certificate, in 2020, the owner has taken the time to put the van back on its original 1962 issued registration number ‘OEJ 665’, as recorded manually in a copy of a local authority ‘Record of Motor Vehicles’ on file.In recent years the van has been the subject of restoration work to bring the condition back to a usable and conserved condition. There are many invoices on file for parts purchased at a cost in excess of £4,500, many from ESM Morris Minors Ltd. In 2021 and 2022, amongst the items supplied: the front horseshoe, a new rear bumper, wheel bearings rocker and sump gaskets, rear chassis legs, poly bushes, rear hangers, back axle hub and pinion seal, gearbox front cover and a clutch kit. Additionally, work on the braking system included the rear brake frame cylinder assembly and a front disc brake conversion.The engine received new big ends and mains, pistons and rings, thrust bearings, oil and water pumps, a duplex timing chain, a spin-off oil filter conversion, alternator conversion, alloy radiator, leads, plugs, points, a reconditioned exchange unleaded cylinder head, fuel pump, pipes and SU carb filters. Body panels purchased from ESM included front and rear panels, kick and sill panels. Inside there is an aftermarket rev counter, map light and a modern radio unit. Accompanying the little van are a couple of period Austin books, collection of spares and a current V5C.

Unveiled at the 2002 Detroit Show, the 177mph Maserati Coupe (a.k.a. 4200 GT) was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. A direct evolution of the 3200 GT, the 4200 GT Coupe was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002 and was a genuine four-seater powered by a normally aspirated, Ferrari-based engine, of 390bhp. Developing 385bhp/332lbft, its 4244cc V8 engine was allied to a six-speed transmission that could be had in conventional manual or 'Cambiocorsa' guises (the latter incorporating electrohydraulic assistance and F1-style steering wheel paddles).First supplied to a Mr A Peters of Twickenham, LB52 TPO was sold by HR Owen of Kensington and PDI'd on the 27th February 2003. Supplied with a comprehensive service history, the Maserati was cared for initially by a number of main Ferrari and Maserati dealers and then by specialists GC Motors later on. Now displaying nine previous keepers on the V5C, and fitted with a new gearbox and clutch a mere 10,000 miles ago, the current vendor acquired the car in late 2023 and has performed works in ready for an MOT including new front upper and lower wishbone bushes and has advised that he intends to put the car through an MOT prior to sale in our Buxton auction. Described as being in 'good' overall condition for the age given that it now displays circa 114,000 miles from new, it presents an excellent opportunity to buy a well cared for Italian GT car with excellent provenance for less than the price of a new VW Polo.

As a derivative of the all-conquering MkII Jaguar although its fluted grille and more luxurious interior gave the car an air of exclusivity. Its name was drawn from its Edward Turner-designed engine - a lightweight, eight-cylinder 2,548cc V8 shared with the SP 250. Production continued until the manufacture of all MkII derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17,620 of the Daimler version had been made, making it the best-selling car in Daimler’s history.Chassis 1K4954DN was manufactured in 1969 and is a home market car, being first registered in the United Kingdom on the 13th of March that year. A notably late example with the pretty single-blade bumper, this desirable four-speed manual transmission with overdrive V8-250 is finished in Sable paintwork and is believed to pleasingly retain its original interior, trimmed in Tan leather upholstery. Showing a recorded mileage of some 84,500 miles, this mileage is believed genuine with supporting evidence back to the mid-1970s. Purchased into the vendor's ownership in 2007, the V8-250 has been MOT’d and serviced annually while with the vendor and has been maintained by Heritage Car Company of Malton. Work completed by the Heritage Car Company most recently included a renovated brake system including a reconditioned brake servo and a new master cylinder in 2024; renewed points, condenser, coil, spark plugs, and wiring repairs in 2023; and new tyres provided in 2022.Covering some 12,000 miles while in the vendor's ownership, the Daimler has been used on several Daimler Owner's Club rallies including trips to Cornwall, Scotland, and The Netherlands. Offered with a large history file that includes MOT history back to the mid-1970s (and which illustrates very few advisories in recent years); a current MOT certificate without any advisories until February 2025; previous tax discs; a large collection of invoices; the original operations manual, price list, car colour guide, and sales literature; and a current V5C document showing just four former keepers.

Registration No: YD55 WBP Chassis No: JHMAP113055201812 MOT: April 2025Five owners from new, soft-top (replaced 2021) and hardtop roofs98,500 miles with corroborating service historySaid to be 'a lovely reliable car that is very exciting at 6,000rpm and above'Introduced in 1999, the S2000 was Honda’s fiftieth birthday present to itself. Developed with precious little input from the marketing department, the front-engined, rear-wheel drive Roadster featured all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and a Torsen limited slip differential. Boasting the highest per litre output of any normally aspirated engine, its 2-litre DOHC inline four was allied to six-speed manual transmission. Variable valve timing gave the 240bhp powerplant a Jekyll and Hyde character which enthusiasts loved. Inspired by various McLaren-Honda F1 cars, the digital dashboard and prominent Red starter button added to the theatre. The S2000 was thoroughly revamped for 2004 with production switching to Suzuka. As well as recalibrated brakes and suspension plus larger 17-inch alloy wheels and assorted cosmetic changes, the ‘facelifted’ version incorporated a stiffer subframe and new gearbox internals etc. Weighing just 1,260kg, the two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 150mph. More expensive than its Roadster sibling, the GT derivative came with a detachable hardtop in addition to its power soft-top. Of the 8,500 S2000s sold in the UK, some 6,300 are understood to remain. Finished in Moonrock Grey with a matching hardtop, Red soft-top and two-tone Black and Red leather upholstery, this UK-supplied, facelift S2000 GT entered the current (fifth) ownership in 2017. Warranted to have covered some 98,500 miles from new, ‘YD55 WBP’ is considered by the vendor to be in ‘good’ (interior trim, bodywork) or ‘very good’ (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, paintwork) condition. Treated to a new hood in 2021, the Honda is summed-up as ‘a lovely, reliable car that pulls away at 2,000rpm and is very exciting at 6,000rpm and above’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, stamped service book and fresh MOT certificate.

Registration No: 475 XVD Chassis No: B49DE MOT: ExemptDelightfully presenting well in Black over Silver plus a Gold coach stripeFully UK registered with V5CPreviously re-lacquered dashboard and new carpetsFitted with modern indicators for better visibility to modern trafficThe Bentley S1 was unveiled in April 1955. A very different car from its predecessors, it was longer and wider and based on a much stiffer chassis. Though the traditional body-on-chassis construction facilitated the manufacture of special-bodied versions, most were delivered with the standard offering produced by Pressed Steel Ltd, featuring alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid.Powered by the final iteration of the company's venerable 4.9-litre straight six engine featuring revised cylinder-head porting, power was quoted at 178bhp. As standard, the unit drove through a four-speed automatic gearbox with steering column control. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs and employed a leaf-spring mounted live axle at the rear. Braking was by drums all round. A total of 3,107 examples were produced between 1955 and 1959.Understood to have originally been supplied as a UK car from new, chassis B49DE was acquired by our vendor in 2018 as a car that had been previously repainted to a high standard into the attractive colour combination of Black over Silver with a Gold pinstripe. This elegant car appears to have been treated with great care throughout its life and retains the original Cream leather interior which is in an attractive patinated state with great opportunity to improve further through attention to the seats, however, the woodwork has been relacquered at some point in the car's history and still presents with a wonderful shine. The vendor has advised that the car 'runs very well indeed' and has used the car on several occasions for local events and that it has had some level of maintenance to keep it in good working order.

With a five-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive, it proved a popular choice. Lightweight (weighing under 1000kg), with its distinctive wraparound all-glass tailgate, four-link rear suspension, pop-up headlamps, and neatly integrated bumpers plus its excellent proportions it was famed for its 50:50 weight distribution was lauded by Car & Driver magazine, making it onto their 'Ten Best' list in 1983.Finished in Gold 'HWV 616X' is a left-hand drive US market 1982 example of the RX-7, it hails from a Stateside owner before coming to the UK in 2023. Purchased in Texas by the current vendor, a 1997 Texas DMV inspection sticker is still present in the windscreen. Described by the vendor as ‘running’ and having had some ‘attention to the brakes’, this is an RX-7 for restoration and recommissioning. Believed to be solid underneath, this example could be a rewarding opportunity to purchase an RX-7 worthy of bringing back to the road. It is offered with a current V5C document.

Registration No: 1543 MG Chassis No: GHN5443374G MOT: October 2024In current ownership since 2004Reconditioned engine from Ivor Seale fitted in 2021 with just 3,000 miles sinceExtensively improved during the vendor's ownershipOffered with apt cherished registration number ‘1543 MG’PLEASE NOTE: The exhaust system fitted was a mild steel one, not a stainless as informed in the printed catalogue.Introduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph (especially if specified with overdrive), the provision of disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering greatly aided control. However, the biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced.Chassis ‘GHN5443374G’ was manufactured in 1977 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom being road registered on the 1st of November that year. Finished in Flamenco paintwork with a Black leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the MG was purchased by the vendor from a deceased estate in 2004 as a running car but requiring improvement. Benefitting from significant expenditure during the vendor’s ensuing twenty-year ownership, the work completed has included a bodywork restoration and repainting (with accompanying images), full re-wiring with some sensible upgrades, an interior refresh, a new mild steel exhaust system, and fitment of a reconditioned Ivor Seale engine in 2021 with just 3,000 miles since.A desirable overdrive example, the MG is offered with a tonneau cover which the vendor informs is in good condition, as are the tyres. The vendor rates the condition of the engine, electrical equipment, gearbox, paintwork, and interior trim as ‘very good’ and the bodywork as ‘excellent’. Offered with a history file that contains are large collection of previous invoices and MOT certificates, photographs of the bodywork improvements, and a current V5C document that shows seven former keepers. The recorded mileage (1)39,770 miles (at the time of consignment) is understood to be genuine, and the Roadster is offered with the very apt cherished registration number of ‘1543 MG’. A nicely presented example of the ever popular MGB, that is due to be driven some fifty miles to the sale. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

1954 AUSTIN HEALEY 100/4 BN1 Registration Number: MUS 403 Chassis Number: BN1/156426 Recorded Mileage: 77,806 miles - UK delivered in RHD specification - In current family ownership since 1962 - Stored off the road since 1974 awaiting full restoration In 1951, when the established range of Healey cars was selling steadily but out of the price range of most enthusiasts, Donald Healey realised there was a market for a relatively low-priced but high performance sports car. A readily available, reliable and tuneable engine was required and BMC agreed to supply the 2,660cc four cylinder unit from its Austin A90 model, together with Austin’s three-speed with overdrive gearbox. For the chassis of the new car Healey and his son Geoffrey designed a simple but torsionally strong ladder frame using the A90’s independent coil spring/wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung rear axle located by Panhard rod, with drum brakes all round. Finally, an attractive, open two seater body was penned by Gerry Coker, the final rendition of which incorporated some last minute changes by Donald Healey himself. The result, launched to a surprised public at the 1952 London Motor Show, caused a sensation and met with immediate approval from press and enthusiasts alike. It looked superb with performance to match; producing 94bhp at 4,000rpm, it could achieve 111mph with the windscreen folded flat and 0-60mph acceleration in 10.3 seconds. Called simply the Healey 100, the new car also caught the attention of BMC supremo Leonard Lord who at once struck an agreement with Healey to market the car as the Austin Healey 100. Production began in May 1953 and it wasn’t long before the model was selling like hot cakes and featuring strongly in production racing on both sides of the Atlantic. This early 100-4 was first registered in May of 1954, finished in Ice Blue Metallic with complimenting dark blue leather trim. A locally owned car, MUS 403 was acquired in 1962 by the May family from its previous owner in Hampstead, London. Gifted from his father in the summer of 1964, the young owner enjoyed the Healey for a number of years, during which he met his wife-to-be. The Healey was taken on the newlywed’s honeymoon, and enjoyed for a number of years before being parked up in 1974 awaiting a restoration, which ultimately never commenced. Offered sadly due to the passing of its owner,, this untouched Healey is a prime candidate for full restoration. MUS 403 is supplied with a buff continuation log book, last MoT and insurance certificates from 1973 and tax disc to December 1974.

1938 ROVER 12HP SPORTS SALOON Registration Number: ETV 99 Chassis Number: 841520 Recorded Mileage: c.29,000 miles Rover’s 14/6 model was launched in 1934 on a lengthened under-slung chassis but retained its predecessor's 1,577cc, six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine. The new frame enabled the adoption of low-line bodies, among them attractive ‘streamline’ versions of both saloon and coupé. Chassis specification included a four-speed freewheel gearbox, hydraulic brakes, Luvax-Bijur automatic lubrication and electric windscreen wipers. For 1939 the 14hp was revamped with a new 1,901cc ‘six’ developed from the four-cylinder unit of the contemporary Ten. This example was first registered in April of 1938, finished in black with a dark green leather interior. The car later found its way to the Isle of Wight where it resided for a number of years before travelling back to the mainland in recent years. Acquired in 2022 from deceased estate, the Rover has recently had the carburettor rebuilt, is complete with a number of spares, and is being sold as a running car for restoration.

1968 BMW 2000 NEU KLASSE Registration Number: OKC 10F Chassis Number: 1225247 Recorded Mileage: 28,051 miles Launched in 1965, the larger-engined BMW 2000 was heralded by Autocar as ‘the best BMW yet’. Produced for 10 years from 1962, the New Class (Neue Klasse) models are credited with saving BMW after the company's financial crisis of the 1950s, and establishing the identity BMW as a maker of sporting saloon cars. The first New Class vehicle was the 1500, a 4-door compact executive car with BMW’s new overhead cam 4-cylinder engine. In 1965, the 2000 C and 2000 CS luxury coupés were added to the range. The new E9 coupes replaced the 2000C and CS coupes in 1969, whilst the four door variants were phased out due to the introduction of the E12 5-Series in 1972. This rare right-hand-drive example, one of around 40 remaining on UK roads, was first purchased at a Liverpool-based BMW agent in March 1968 for £1,900. After the first owner sadly fell ill, the BMW was garaged for years before being acquired and restored by the second owner, passing into long term family ownership, and then being acquired by the last private owner.  We understand the BMW has previously been subject to a mechanical overhaul by marque specialists, including the automatic gearbox. The body shows some patina but presents well still, the two-tone burgundy and black leatherette trim remains in excellent condition, whilst older MoT certificates indicate the recorded mileage to be genuine. A very usable and rare car, this classic BMW makes a stylish classic which can be enjoyed all year round.

1953 LAGONDA 3-LITRE COUPE Registration Number: KKU 62 Chassis Number: LAG/50/539 Engine Number: VB6J/64 -    Matching numbers engine and gearbox -    Comprehensively restored in the early 2000s -    Recently recommissioned at a cost exceeding £5,000 Shortly after peace returned to Britain following the end of the 2nd World War, David Brown acquired the famous sporting marques of both Lagonda and Aston-Martin, locating the new firm at the Feltham works in Hanworth Park West London. Post-war Lagondas were treated to a new W.O.Bentley-designed straight six twin-cam engine, which went on to power Lagonda and Aston Martin models into the late 50’s, most famously the highly successful DB3S. The 1948 2.6-litre Lagonda was available as a 4-door saloon and from 1949 a 2-door drophead coupé joined the line up, Although the advanced chassis design and twin cam 6 cylinder engined car impressed dynamically, the styling was considered somewhat bulbous and staid. Following a beautifully redesigned body courtesy of Tickfords and the addition of the enlarged 3 Litre 140 bhp engine, the DB model of 1953 was certainly exquisite, capable and exclusive. With performance to match, the new model topped out well over 100 mph, very respectable for the early 1950s. With fully independent suspension all round mounted to its cruciform chassis, front coil springs, torsion bar rear suspension, and rack and pinion steering, this was cutting edge technology for the period. W.O. had clearly excelled himself, again! The 3-Litre was originally offered as a Tickford-bodied 2-door coupé and drop-head, both coachbuilt by the now David Brown-owned company, Tickford. The body was hand-formed in the traditional manner, aluminium over an ash frame, while in typical Lagonda tradition the interior was opulent and exquisitely finished with the best hides and veneers. Within less than 2 years though the Coupé was discontinued replaced by a four door saloon, which ultimately became the most prolific version. According to 'David Brown & Sons Lagonda & Aston Martin 1860 – 1960' by Alan Heard, only 267 DB 3 Litre cars were produced in total and just 65 of these were made in the 2-door coupé specification as presented here. It is believed that only a dozen or so 2-door coupés are known to exist today, with around less than half of this number being roadworthy, by far the rarest of all the DB Lagonda 6 cylinder cars. Our example, KKU 62, is one of the first of the earliest 3-litre models, (only the first 23 cars produced had the LAG/50 chassis numbers before changing to LB/290 numbers) featuring a number of identifying details such as glass rear lights, semaphore trafficators set into the rear wings, smaller and delicate styled twin rear petrol cap fillers, a heater air scoop on the front scuttle panel, tripod headlamps, also an early dash configuration with the ignition switch cluster set to the left of the dash centre and rounded windscreen corners. It is understood that ‘KKU’ had a folding canvas sunroof early in her life and this was later replaced with a Webasto unit in the early 1960s, however she still retains the 50's chrome locking handle. First registered in March 1954 via dealer Charles Sidney Limited of Bradford to the owner of woollen mill S.Lyles and Co. of Dewsbury, the Lagonda moved up to Hawick in Scotland, before traveling down to Middlesex and then Oxfordshire. In 1965 ‘KKU’ was on the move once more, this time to Connecticut in the United States for 14 years, then on to Oklahoma for 22 years, before finally traveling once more, this time to Belgium in the early 2000s.The new owner decided a rebuild was in order, and so the Lagonda was treated to a comprehensive body off restoration. Shortly afterwards the 3-Litre was acquired by a large Kuwaiti-based collection, where it remained until its recent repatriation to the UK. Now in the care of a devoted Lagonda enthusiast, the 3-litre has been thoroughly recommissioned at a cost exceeding £5,000, to include all fluids and filters, a comprehensive front suspension rebuild and a brake and fuel system overhaul. Additionally, various electrical components have been replaced, as have missing original parts and period accessories. Pleasingly the car was at the same time reunited with its original Bradford-issued registration number.   This wonderful, and very rare Lagonda, starts we understand, on the button and drives very well, participating in an AMOC Classic Motor Hub Treasure Hunt, and April 2023's Drive It Day road rally. The 3-Litre also represented the Feltham Lagonda class in the 75th Anniversary of the David Brown years at the Aston Martin Heritage Trust Brooklands event. Finished in a period correct AML shade of Peony Red with light tan leather hides, this is a beautiful example which has covered only nominal mileage since restoration. The 3-Litre is offered for sale with an original factory leather-bound handbook, the correct Lagonda Factory sales brochure, plus a pleasing history file, which includes a copy of the original AML Factory Build Sheet along with the Feltham factory service record, a copy of the West Yorkshire registration book entry, 1960s DVLA documents, period Lagonda Club magazine article referencing 'KKU', Oklahoma title certificates, Belgian registration documents, sales invoices from B.V. Cars NL, NOVA certificate, a current V5 registration document, and a large amount of recent receipts for the recommissioning parts.

1976 MERCEDES-BENZ 450SL  Registration Number: ROD 175R Chassis Number: 107044-22-065689 Recorded Mileage: 119,550 miles - Offered at No Reserve The SLs of this era (the 107 chassis) really established themselves as an icon of quality and success on the Continent as well as the Americas. Unlike the previous SL range, these cars were rugged and durable and could accumulate high mileage and still remain reliable with just the most basic of care. Volume production of the first R107 car, the 350 SL, started in April 1971 alongside the last of the W113 cars; the 350 SLC followed in October. The early 1971 350SL are very rare and were available with an optional 4 speed fluid coupling automatic gearbox. In addition, the rare 1971 cars were fitted with Bosch electronic fuel injection. Sales in North America began in 1972, and cars wore the name 350 SL, but had a larger 4.5L V8 with 3 speed auto (and were renamed 450 SL for model year 1973); the big V8 became available on other markets with the official introduction of the 450 SL/SLC on non-North American markets in March 1973. US cars sold from 1972 through 1975 used the Bosch D Jetronic fuel injection system, an early electronic engine management system This 450SL was first delivered in August 1976, finished in Silver Green Metallic with a black interior. The SL has been garage-stored for a number of years and is now offered for sale due to the passing of its owner. The SL is offered as is and will be sold to the highest bidder, without keys or registration document. A timeless classic, this beefy V8-engined SL is the ideal candidate for restoration.
