Registration No: YKO 585X Chassis No: XBHND2AD851462 MOT: T.B.COne of just 26 examples manufactured and one of just three for the American marketExhibited at the Los Angeles Motor Show in 1982Supplied new to Wendal ‘Rick’ McBride, the well-renowned photographerAccompanied by registration number ‘FTM 1T’ (Frazer-Tickford Metro 1 Tickford) on a retentionJust c.15,000 kilometers from new and provided with a sizeable history fileOffered from a large private collection with only two owners from newA rare opportunity to acquire Aston Martin’s first foray into compact carsManufactured in 1982, this Metro was ordered from Dutton-Forshaw Maidstone as a 1.3 S in left-hand drive by Wendal 'Rick' Mc Bride, the successful photographer who was the official photographer for Ferrari and said to have been associated with the naming of the De Tomaso Pantera. Supplied to the Aston Martin Tickford department for production to a Frazer-Tickford example which was completed in time for it to be urgently air-freighted and displayed at the Los Angeles Motor Show in 1982. One of just 26 Frazer-Tickford examples produced, this is one of just three manufactured for the American market.Finished in Cairngorm Brown with complementing Saddle leather, piped Chocolate, with Beige Alcantara headlining and Wilton carpets with leather edging with extensive sound-deadening throughout the interior. The rest of the specification includes Uher stack stereo with a graphic equaliser, a full bodykit, four Marchal fog lights, enamel name badges, tinted glass, sunroof, 5 1/2J alloy wheels, electric windows and mirrors and cruise control. The engine was performance-tuned by Aston Martin with a Weber twin-choke carburettor, a hotter camshaft and bigger valves with a gas-flowed cylinder head, producing 80bhp, with an Aston Martin handling pack fitted as well.Costing significantly more than a Porsche 944 when new with a list price of £11,600, ‘YKO 585X’ stayed in Beverly Hills after the Auto Expo 82, residing at Mr. McBride’s home and he is understood to have often been seen in the car and many notable events. Remaining with Rick McBride until his passing in 2013, the Tickford subsequently entered into a large private classic car collection where it has remained since. With only two owners from new (although still registered to the first owner), the Tickford has covered a mere c.15,000 kilometers from new (equating to under 10,000 miles). Supplied with the retention document for registration number ‘FTM 1T’ which is said to stand for ‘Frazer-Tickford Metro, 1 Tickford’.The Tickford was re-commissioned in c.2015 following a short period of storage after Mr. McBride’s passing with a full service, brake overhaul, alloy wheel refurbishment and fitment with new tyres. The Frazer-Tickford has benefitted in 2018 from a new windscreen; an interior refresh including leather re-trim of the steering wheel, gearknob and handbrake gaiter and new alacantara headlining, along with a new rear exhaust system to the cost of approximately £3,000.The aforementioned history file further includes air-freight documents relating to the motor show and subsequent freight trips back and forth from McBrides Kent and Los Angeles homes; Aston Martin Tickford sales invoices and correspondence; Aston Martin build photographs; an Auto Expo 82 official show magazine; original sales literature; book pack; past tax discs and previous MOT certificates. A surely unique opportunity to acquire a scarce example of Aston Martin’s first foray into compact cars with both interesting history and low mileage and ownership.Surely a worthy addition to any collection!Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: PGC 68KChassis No: 1295951MOT: EXEMPTManufactured in 1971 and presented in red with contrasting black interior featuring 4pt harnesses, rally timer and OMP Half roll cageFeatures engine tuned by Bob Dove 5 speed gearbox, suspension by Alfaholics and stainless steel exhaustIn current ownership for the last 13 years Though one of his first major projects, the Bertone-penned Alfa Romeo 105 Series Coupe has a simple grace that is as admired today as when it first appeared in 1963. When coupled with the 1.6-litre Super version of the company's ubiquitous all-alloy, DOHC, four-cylinder engine, the result was a performance car capable of shaming many sporting two-seaters of the period. The specification was straightforward - a two-door, three-box, lightweight (2,050 lbs) body powered by a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels. The suspension was independent at the front and braking was by servo-assisted discs all-round. A slick five-speed manual gearbox ensured optimum performance and added to driver satisfaction. The GT Junior variants began with the 1300 of 1965. It was designed as an entry level model for those that wished to enjoy the cachet of an Alfa Coupe without suffering the fiscal penalties that often came with the bigger-engined versions. It was based on the Giulia Sprint GT but featured a simplified interior. This Junior theme was developed over some 12 years, and from 1972 included the addition of a 1600cc-engined model that was specifically created to fill the gap that had emerged between the Junior 1600 and the now 2000cc-engined GTV.Manufactured in 1971 and presented in red with contrasting black interior featuring 4pt harnesses, rally timer and OMP Half roll cage, PGC 68K features a 1600cc engine tuned by Bob Dove, 5 speed gearbox, suspension by Alfaholics and a stainless steel exhaust. Acquired by the owner in March of 2008, the car has been used regularly by the owner and is now offered for auction as a ‘restoration project’, showing 15,231 miles on the odometer. The Vendor describes the condition of the bodywork and paintwork as ‘Poor’, the electrical equipment and interior trim as ‘Average’ and the engine, transmission and gearbox as ‘Good’. PGC 68K comes accompanied with a small number of invoices and previous MOTs, as well as the V5 document which displays 8 former keepers. Although exempt, the owner put the car through an MOT on 04 October 2021. The fail document (also included) indicates some of the work required to prospective buyers.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762
Registration No: E730 DAP Chassis No: ZLA831AB00420763 MOT: October 2022UK-supplied example in current ownership since 2015The beneficiary of an engine overhaul by Tanc Barratt shortly before the vendors purchase with very minimal mileage covered sinceBelieved to have been supplied new to the Pentti Airikkala Driving SchoolAccompanied by a large history file and offered from a private collectionThe iconic Lancia Delta Integrale requires little introduction. A formidable and enormously successful rally weapon, it also made a very capable and comfortable road car. With manners suitable for family outings, nights to the opera, spirited weekend drives, or high-speed laps or a legendary racing circuit, the Delta Integrale was an extraordinary machine that could take all these in its stride (in all its evolutions), and it can still hold its head high today. The eight-valve variant utilised a two-litre turbocharged engine producing 185bhp and the world's most sophisticated 4WD system that rocketed the car to 60mph in just 6.6 seconds, on virtually any surface, on its way to a top speed of 133mph.Manufactured in 1988 in left-hand drive, this 8V Integrale was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 14th of January that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 1995cc turbocharged straight-four engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission, ‘E730 DAP’ is finished in Red with Grey cloth interior upholstery. With a recorded mileage of approximately 146,000 kilometers (equating to c.90,000 miles), the Lancia is understood to have been supplied new to the Pentti Airikkala Driving School and has had a total of eight registered keepers, entering current ownership in 2015.The beneficiary of a comprehensive engine overhaul by Tanc Barratt Italian Car Specialists shortly before the purchase by the vendor, this comprised a new Tanc Barratt cylinder block with forged pistons and steel con-rods along with overhauled cylinder head. A reconditioned turbocharger was supplied by Auto Integrale along with a new steering rack gaiter and brake fettling including rear callipers. Accompanied for sale by a large history file comprising many previous MOT certificates dating back to the early-1990s, the book pack, a large selection of invoices including many from Tanc Barratt and V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: J442 SPPChassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430736MOT: December 2021Motor Car Location: Greater LondonRare and desirable UK-supplied S2 model (the majority of the 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets made were LHD)Only three owners from new with the first owner retaining until 2017Just 71,898 miles from new (atoc)Offered with history file including original book pack and stamped service bookSubject to c.£1,800 worth of expenditure in October 2021Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 150mph. The first open-topped 944 derivative - the S2 Cabriolet - featured a body built by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) of Weinsberg, Germany and many of the same styling cues as its Coupe sibling. Just 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991.This 944 S2 Cabriolet was manufactured in 1992 and was first delivered on the 6th of May 1992 by Chariots Porsche Centre of St. Albans. Fitted with the 2969cc straight-four engine with the five-speed manual transmission, the Porsche is finished in Light Blue with Blue leather interior upholstery and a Blue hood. ‘J442 SPP’ is offered with just 71,898 miles (at time of consignment) and only three owners from new, the 944 was retained by the first owner until 2017. Subject to a ‘Category C’ insurance claim in 2010 but has since been AutoLign inspected in 2019 which concluded with the 944 being provided with a ‘Certificate of Investigation and Pass’ (a copy of which is provided in the history file), reclassifying the Porsche.Subject to £4,200 worth of expenditure in 2017, the Porsche received a service, new cam belts, further engine fettling and a brake overhaul provided by Porsche specialists. ‘J442 SPP’ is offered with a history file which comprises the book pack including stamped service book displaying ten service stamps as well as five brake fluid and coolant changes. Further accompanied by a selection of invoices, numerous MOT certificates and a current V5C.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Excellent’Engine: 'Excellent'Electrical Equipment: 'Excellent'Paintwork: ‘Very Good'Gearbox: 'Excellent'Interior Trim: 'Excellent'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: WLM 725Chassis No: S824751DNMOT: Exempt1 of just 1,368 RHD examples made and benefiting from the factory-fitted Special Equipment (SE) pack which comprised: front fog lamps, wire wheels and twin exhaustsOffered with heritage certificate and a collection of old MOT's and invoicesExtensively restored in c.2010 including a new interior and the fitment of A/CBy the time the XK150 was launched in May 1957, Jaguar had won Le Mans four times and was about to do so once again. A logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK a distinctly more modern air. The split windscreen was replaced with a single sweep of toughened glass and the scuttle height was raised, along with the waistline. The bonnet was widened and the walnut dashboard of the XK140 was replaced by one trimmed in leather. Thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine was the 3.4-litre DOHC straight six unit of the XK140, which was later increased to 3.8-litres. Still more power became available from 1958 in the form of the 'S' engine. The XK150 was the first production Jaguar to be equipped with disc brakes and was initially offered in Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) and Drophead Coupe guise, the Roadster following in 1958. By the time production ended in October 1960 to make way for the E-Type, some 4,445 FHCs had been produced.Manufactured on 13th January 1959, this home market Manual overdrive example was supplied new via Henlys Ltd to a J W Bradstreet of Goring-On Sea and registered ‘WLM 725’ – a mark it pleasingly retains. Originally painted in cream with red interior, it is 1 of just 1,368 RHD examples built and benefits from the factory-fitted Special Equipment (SE) pack which comprised: front fog lamps, wire wheels and twin exhausts. Having spent some 20 years in South Africa (where it was restored c.2010), the car is now finished in Black with Red interior and is fitted with a MKIX 3.8 engine. The extensive restoration included a new interior and the fitment of A/C. Treated to a new clutch and front calliper overhaul in 2020, this handsome XK comes with a heritage certificate and a collection of old MOT's and invoices.

Registration No: C12 SCAChassis No: ZFFZR49C000112188MOT: March 2022Sold by Maranello Egham in March 1998 and 1 of just 457 UK-supplied RHD examplesFinished in rare Nero Daytona Metallic with Nero interior featuring Daytona seats with Bordeaux insertsFreshly serviced by Graypaul Ferrari prior to saleFactory options of Quilted rear parcel shelf & Daytona seatsOnly 23,150 miles & accompanied by an extensive history file and original Handbook PackFerrari's 550 Maranello was introduced as a replacement for the F512 M in 1996 and found much acclaim during its five years of production. It featured a 484bhp front-mounted naturally-aspirated 5.5 litre V12 engine driving the rear wheels through a transaxle - the six-speed manual gearbox being located at the rear for optimum weight distribution. Suspension was by double wishbone, coil springs and anti-roll bars all-round and the braking by ventilated discs front and rear. The Pininfarina designed all-alloy body was mounted on a tubular steel chassis. A pukka GT car out of the Daytona mould, it offered speeds of up to 199 mph coupled with the ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 4.3 seconds - the sort of performance figures that wouldn't have disgraced an F1 car once upon a time. With a luxurious and roomy interior and a boot that accommodated at least a set of overnight bags (or a full set of golf clubs), this was the perfect car for dashing through Europe - Monte Carlo one weekend, Rome the next. It was replaced in 2001 by the 575M Maranello. Though not intended for use in motorsport, the 550 Maranello was nevertheless adopted for racing by a number of privateer teams, to good effect. 2003 was arguably the year of best results, with Prodrive winning the GTS class in the Le Mans 24-hour race and finishing second in the GTS class of the American Le Mans Series, and Scuderia Italia winning the FIA GT championship. Supplied new by Maranello Concessionaires of Egham to Peter Hookham Miller Esq on 11th May 1998 and first registered as ‘SHY 1’, chassis 112188 was finished in Nero Daytona Metallic and specified with such desirable options as: a quilted leather rear parcel shelf, Fiorano Handling Pack and Daytona seats (the latter trimmed in Nero with Bordeaux inserts). Serviced at 857, 5,996, 13,056, 13,809, 14,571, 14,941, 16,314, 18,688, 20,297, 20,568, 21,803, 22,246, 22,714, 22,875, 22,946, 23,024, 23,028, 23,052 and 23,070 miles by the likes of Maranello, Rardley Motors, Autofficina, SGM Performance, Dick Lovett, QV Motors and Ferrari Birmingham, the 550 was last treated to a cambelt change a few hundred miles ago in 2019. Previously upgraded with a Becker Grand Prix stereo system which allows Bluetooth connectivity, the Ferrari comes with its original unit should a new owner wish to reinstate it. A former cover car for Classic & Sports Car magazine (June 2001 issue), this pampered, low mileage 550 is due to be serviced again by Ferrari Birmingham ahead of the sale. Worthy of close inspection, ‘C12 SCA’ is accompanied by its original book pack and a comprehensive history file.Footnote: For more information, please contact: H&H ClassicsTelephone: +44 (0)1925 210035Email: info@handh.co.uk
Registration No: IOM-RegChassis No: SRH10991MOT: ExemptSupplied new by Rossleigh Ltd to Cambridge Electrics Ltd of Glasgow and pleasingly retains its original book pack and factory guarantee letter etcBelieved to have covered just 41,000 miles from new based on the condition of its original interior and its residency on the Isle of Man since 1979Recently recommissioned and serviced following a period of dry storageLaunched in 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a bold departure for the Crewe-based company. Their first monocoque design, it also benefited from olio-pneumatic rear suspension, power disc brakes and, from 1968, GM's silken 400 series automatic gearbox. Such 'new technology' did not encroach on the luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets. Though smaller than the Silver Cloud III, it possessed greater space and boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6,230cc, though this was enlarged to 6,750cc during 1970. Performance from the smooth V8 engine was assured, the car wafting forward on a seemingly unstoppable wave of torque. Still immensely cosseting to drive, Shadows offer a genuinely different ownership experience to their mass-made peers.Supplied new by Rossleigh Ltd to Cambridge Electrics Ltd of Glasgow this example pleasingly retains its original book pack and factory guarantee letter etc. The car is believed to have had just two owners (unfortunately this is not document supported) and to have covered just 41,000 miles from new based on the condition of its original interior and its residency on the Isle of Man since 1979. Recently recommissioned and serviced following a period of dry storage, the vendor currently rates the bodywork, engine and interior trim as “very good,” the electrics and gearbox as “excellent” and the paintwork as “average.”Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’Engine: 'Very Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Excellent'Paintwork: ‘Average'Gearbox: 'Excellent'Interior Trim: 'Very Good'PLEASE NOTE: This lot will require attention to the brakes.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Paul Cheethampaul.cheetham@handh.co.uk07538 667452
Registration No: Un-RegChassis No: Not StatedMOT: ExemptFitted with Craftsmans of San Diego coachworkSubject to a previous engine overhaulCurrent ownership for over 20 yearsRuckstell rear axle and later 1914 engine with electric startKnown affectionately as ‘Lady’ this RHD-converted and notably early Model T features coachwork in the style of the 1909 Town Car built by Craftsman of San Diego. We are advised that no expense was spared in its restoration and the impressive specification includes; fully overhauled 1914 engine with re-white metalled valves and rebored pistons, electric starter, detachable wheels, spare wheel carrier, Rocky Mountain brakes, Ruckstell rear axle, modern ignition system, Hasler front shock absorbers, new radiator, new battery and a new old stock petrol tank. In the current ownership for some twenty years, the vendor currently rates its cosmetic and mechanical condition as “very good”.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, sidevalve, 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 automobile manufacture 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.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
Registration No: XWV 967AChassis No: AR383180MOT: ExemptUK supplied Right Hand Drive Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider in current ownership for the last 17 years, purchased through ourselves in 2004Restored for circuit use in 1999 and features Veloce specification engine tuned by Jim Evansaccompanied with invoices totalling just short of £10,000 and a mileage log detailing previous journeys, vehicle mileage and the amount of fuel added to the car. Sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina, the Giulietta Spider was a huge success and continued virtually unchanged in 1.6-litre Giulia guise when the latter joined the Alfa line-up in 1962. Launched at the Monza Autodrome on 27th June that year, the Giulia range was the work of a design team headed by one of the greatest of Italian automobile engineers, Dr Orazio Satta Puliga, who had been responsible for all the post-war Alfa Romeos. The capacity increase boosted maximum power of Alfa's classic twin-cam four from 80 to 92bhp and the car's top speed to 109mph. Reliability was likewise enhanced and the larger engine was noticeably smoother and less fussy. A five-speed gearbox was standard on the Giulia 1600 Spider, which remained in production until 1966. The Giulia Spider is certainly one of the most attractive Alfa Romeos of its day and remains highly regarded now.This right-hand drive Alfa Romeo Guilia Spider originally left the Milanese factory and came to the UK in 1963. In 1999, the car was ‘bare metal’ restored for circuit racing by a previous owner, Jim Avis. Side windows and winder mechanisms were removed, interior stripped and open bodywork sprayed in Ferrari Giallo Fly. The Veloce specification included twin Webers, tubular exhaust manifold, front disc brakes and aluminium fuel tank. Original steel wheels were retained.After just one event though, the racer was acquired by the previous owner in November 1999. 2000 pre-race prep and tuning was entrusted to Tank Barrett of Bewdley, Worcs, and the car was successfully driven to and from six races during the season, at the end of which pre-winter Waxoyl treatment was carried out by Worcester Classic Cars. The engine was in receipt of a 2001-2002 Supercharger Services (Wolverhampton) overhaul with forged pistons, reground crank, ported and polished head, and Jim Evans race/rally cams. In addition, roll-over bar and fire extinguisher were renewed and electric fan fitted. At Donington in 2002, this car beat the near identical ex-Justin Murphy HSCC series winning spider. The calipers were overhauled before the car was sold to the current owner early in 2004. Preparation was undertaken at the Castle Coombe racetrack by Glyn of Circuit Motors Ltd who optimised the Weber twin 40s for road use using a rolling road.XWV 967A was purchased by its current owner in February of 2004 though H&H Classics Stoneleigh Park sale, who enjoyed several road trips, including drives to Switzerland and the the Isle of Man for the 99th anniversary of the TT races. However it has seen very little use in recent years, and is now offered for sale as the owner finds himself with nine points on his driving licence and would like to exchange the car for something more sedate.XWV 967A is offered as somewhat of a ‘rolling restoration project’ following an MOT failure (although exempt) on 01 October 2021. The vendor rates the condition of the paintwork as ‘Poor’, the bodywork, electrical equipment and interior trim as ‘Average’ and the engine, transmission and gearbox as ‘Good’. XWV 967A comes accompanied with an original italian workshop manual, invoices totalling just short of £10,000, a number of previous MOTs dating back to the year 2000 and a mileage log detailing previous journeys, vehicle mileage and the amount of fuel added to the car.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762
Registration No: RA 333Chassis No: GUK-71MOT: May 2022Pop Larkin’s (David Jason) Beloved Rolls-Royce 20hp Park Ward Laundalette that starred in ITV’s ‘The Darling Buds of May’Purchased by its current keeper in 2019 for £100,000, and its previous keeper beforehand for the same sumOffered with an MOT Certificate valid until 05 May 2022 1926 Rolls-Royce 20hp Landaulette by Park WardUnveiled in 1922, the 20HP was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow - a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis with a 129-inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20HP was capable of exceeding 60mph.Supplied new on 20th August 1926 via Huskinson & Ashwell Ltd of Nottingham to F.R Claye Esq, chassis GUK-71 featured Landaulette coachwork by Park Ward and was finished high-varnished in Purple Blue with fine white coachline and matching blue upholstery. Importantly, this particular example featured the much improved four-speed gearbox, which it retains to this day. GUK-71 remained in F.R Claye’s ownership for 10 years, before being passed on to a Mrs Hannah Claye for a further 19 years. In 1955, the car was sold to a Richard Edward Derington-Fenning of the Royal Hotel, Ashby-de-la-Zouch who owned the car for 38 years, during which time, this Rolls-Royce 20hp Landaulette would gain the admiration it has to this day.The car retains its registration ‘RA 333’ and is arguably the most famous 20hp in existence; being the car used throughout ITV’s adaptation of H.E Bates’ ‘Darling Buds of May’, starring David Jason as Pop Larkin. Pop’s beloved Rolls-Royce instantly became an icon of the show, with die-cast models of the car widely available.RA 333 was purchased by its current keeper in 2019 for the sum of £100,000. Currently stored in a Carcoon within a dehumidified unit it has been lovingly maintained, even being offered for sale with a current MoT valid until 5 May 2022. Offered with this famous 20hp is a comprehensive folder featuring rarely seen documents, including the original order confirmation letter, bill of sale and specification sheet from 1926. In addition, copies of pre-delivery inspections are included, as well as the original logbook, a copy of the original guarantee and an instruction manual. Additional documentation includes previous MoT certificates and invoices including a printed summary of maintenance post-1992, and of course, photographs and press information relating to the Darling Buds of May series.

Its tail-heavy configuration has been described as a 'triumph of engineering over design' and its maker sought to pension it off as much as 40 years ago. Yet it is still with us, still being developed and refined, and still frequently trouncing the opposition on road and track. In 1968, the model's wheelbase was increased by 57mm and the rear overhang reduced by the same amount. The following year the engine capacity was enlarged to 2.2-litres and then to 2.4-litres in 1971. The latter examples were offered in three levels of tune, namely: T (130bhp), E (165bhp) and S (190bhp).Offered as a stalled restoration which has been dismantled and dry stored for over twenty years, this 911E is 1 of just 1,304 E Coupes made for the 1970 model year (C Series). The car is understood to have been supplied new to Belgium (or so its secondary chassis plate would imply) and was subsequently imported and UK road registered during 1978 (hence the ‘S’ registration). Sold strictly 'as seen' but as a potentially rewarding project, there are no front wings and doubtless missing other parts. The engine is a later 911/81 2.7-litre unit.Footnote: For more information, please contact:John Markeyjohn.markey@handh.co.uk01428 607899
Registration No: LS55 MYKChassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z6S732476MOT: Oct 2022 Owned by the celebrated actress, comedian and screenwriter Jennifer Saunders since it was just under a year oldA rear-wheel drive, six-speed manual, Coupe version of the increasingly sought after 997-seriesTreated to a major service in July 2021 at a cost of £2,710.19 Introduced in 2004, the 997-series of Porsche’s iconic 911 allied all the technological improvements of its 996-series predecessor – a lighter / stiffer bodyshell, better suspension / brakes, four-valve cylinder heads and a superior HVAC system – to more classical styling. Available in Carrera or Carrera S guises when launched, the latter boasted a more powerful 3.8 litre engine (rated at 350bhp/295lbft), sports exhaust, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19-inch wheels as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds and 182mph, it soon became a driver’s favourite. Better built and better looking than a 996 and smaller and more agile than a 991 (or current 992), great examples of 997 manual gearbox cars are becoming increasingly collectible.Although, the multi award-winning actress, comedian and screenwriter Jennifer Saunders is perhaps best known for Absolutely Fabulous and French & Saunders, her current, fifteen-year long ownership of ‘LS55 MYK’ suggests that she is a petrolhead too! Certainly, few enthusiasts would argue with her choice of a rear-wheel drive, manual transmission 911 Coupe. Finished in Arctic Silver with Black leather upholstery, the 2+2-seater was less than twelve months old when Ms Saunders bought it. Since used as an everyday car, the Porsche now displays some 153,500 miles to its odometer. Predominantly maintained by Porsche Centre Exeter and Porchetech of North London, the former fitted a new battery and alternator in August 2020 at a cost of £1,074.23, while the latter carried out a major service plus the installation of a new gearbox undertray, outside temperature gauge, top mounts and stabilizer bushes etc in July 2021 the bill for which totalled £2,719.10. Passing its last MOT test on 26th October 2021 with ‘no advisories’, this ‘Ab Fab’ 997-series Carrera 2S is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack and sundry invoices.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: This lot was driven to the sale by Jennifer Saunders as a last hurrah. We understand that the accompanying service, maintenance and extended warranty bills amassed during her ownership total over £37,000.
Registration No: HJE 904FChassis No: 967829MOT: ExemptSaid to be restored to a very high standardFitted with 998cc engineFinished in Old English White complemented to a Red interiorThis Traveller is powered by an uprated 998cc engine and is understood to have been restored whilst in the care of a previous owner to an extremely high standard. We are advised the car has covered just 7,000 miles since completion and that it remains in “fabulous condition”. Finished in Old English White with red interior it is currently described as having “excellent” bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and interior. MoT exempt, this charming example has had thousands of pounds lavished on it in order to bring it to the current condition and is well worthy of close inspection.With the reverberations of the 1956-1957 Suez Crisis being felt worldwide, Leonard Lord commissioned Alec Issigonis to work on a radical small car project. His response was the now legendary Mini. Featuring an ingenious transverse-mounted powertrain (with engine sat atop the gearbox), all-round independent 'rubber cone' suspension, front-wheel drive and compact rack and pinion steering, the newcomer was a packaging masterpiece; not to mention one of the most influential automotive designs ever conceived. Available with saloon, pick-up, estate and traveller body styles, the ubiquitous mini proved to be an extremely successful and long-lived motoring icon.Footnote: For more information, please contact:John Markeyjohn.markey@handh.co.uk01428 607899

Based around an unusual 'pontoon' chassis equipped with bolt-on panels, coil-sprung suspension (inboard at the front a la contemporary F1 cars) and servo-assisted disc brakes, it won the inaugural 'Car of the Year' award. Launched in 1971, the flagship 3500S model was powered by a 3528cc OHV V8 engine mated to four-speed manual transmission. Quoted as developing some 150bhp and 201lbft of torque, it was capable of 0-60mph in 9.2 seconds and 123mph. Sporting the same matt black grille and improved interior as its lesser post-1970 facelift siblings, it came with a vinyl roof and Rostyle type wheels as standard.This striking example has covered just 54,560 miles from new and has been in the current ownership since 2011. Benefiting from a major service in 2018 which included changing all fluids and only 500 miles covered since. A new water pump was also fitted in 2019, it shows just 5 former keepers shown on V5c. The specification includes Sundym glass, box pleat leather seats, rear mounted spare and PAS whilst the car is offered with the original service book, owner’s handbook, collection of invoices and old MOT certificates back to 1995. Finished in Red with black leather, the vendor currently rates the bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and transmission as “very good”.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Stevens, who would later go on to design the McLaren F1, produced a less angular, more rounded Esprit. Giugiaro is said to have liked the new shape, claiming it was perhaps too close to his original design. The exterior changes were accompanied by a redesign of the interior that gave more space to the occupants. The revised Esprit was not given a new "Series" number but is often called by its project code of X180.Panels for the body were produced using a new process called VARI (Vacuum Assisted Resin Injection). This method, which was patented by Lotus, offered advantages over the previous hand lay-up process. Kevlar reinforcement was added to the roof and sides for roll-over protection. This also increased the Esprit's torsional rigidity by 22%.Manufactured in 1988 and presented in blue with contrasting gold wheels and cream interior, F227 JYJ is powered by a Lotus 2.2-litre ‘Chargecooler’ engine and features power windows, central locking, electric heated mirrors, removable glass roof panel, glass engine cover, factory air conditioning and more. Subject to a front brake upgrade and OZ Route wheels, the car was recently subject to a top end overhaul including replacement head and head gasket. Currently displaying 71,541 miles, it is accompanied by a service book including 8 stamps, a number of previous invoices totalling approximately £15,000 and a V5 document. The vendor now rates the condition of the interior trim as “good”, with the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission being described as “very good”.Please note: F227 JYJ was subject to a replacement speedometer on 15 November 1990 at 12,528 miles.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Currently displaying a credible 104,600 miles on its odometer, the first owner is believed to have been a Mrs Minnie Sheriff, a lady friend of Brough’s. Originally acquired by the vendor in an Alexandra Palace auction, the car has been enjoyed on numerous events including Continental tours to most European countries. Repainted some thirty years ago it has also benefited from a gearbox overhaul by Jeff Moor, carburettor overhaul in 2007, engine overhaul in 2005 and a complete rewire. A stainless-steel exhaust, Kenlowe fan and backup electric fuel pump are fitted and we understand a quantity of spares are available by separate negotiation. Offered with an original sales brochure, VSCC eligibility document, collection of old MOTs back to 1980, V5C, assorted invoices plus brown logbook this finely engineered drophead coupe represents a rare and exciting opportunity for lovers of pre-war performance cars.The Brough name is better known in relation to motorcycles than cars, as the company produced over 3,000 two-wheelers between 1919 and 1940. Dubbed the `Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles', they were prestige machines that attracted a discerning clientele, and among the many famous Brough owners were George Bernard Shaw and T E Lawrence (`Lawrence of Arabia') who had no less than eight and, of course, famously lost his life on one. The firm's car production was miniscule by comparison and limited to circa eighty-five examples, but they echoed their two-wheeled cousins in terms of quality. Three models were designed but only two made it into series production - the 4-Litre straight-eight manufactured in 1935/36 and the ensuing 3.5-Litre straight six which produced 107bhp giving 0-60 in 12 seconds and a top speed of 90mph. Most Broughs sported striking Drophead Coupe bodies, which were produced by W C Atcherley of Birmingham.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
Registration No: FPK 28JChassis No: 01950MOT: ExemptCurrent family ownership since 1975Just 50,000 miles from newA rare UK-supplied, Series M example complete with five-bolt Cromodora alloy wheels and 'Dino' badgingA stunning looking Dino coming to market for the first time in forty-six years! Heavily influenced by the Dino 206 GT Berlinetta Speciale concept car (a thinly disguised 206 S sports racer) which Pininfarina had unveiled at the 1965 Paris Salon, the roadgoing Dino 206 GT debuted in Turin two years later. Compellingly curvaceous and bodied in aluminium over a tubular steel chassis frame, it seemed a fitting tribute to Enzo Ferrari's late beloved son Alfredino. Boasting all-round, independent double-wishbone suspension, Koni shock absorbers, anti-roll bars and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer was the first Maranello production design to feature either rack-and-pinion steering or a mid-mounted engine. Although, the 1987cc 'quad-cam' unit in question was the work of Franco Rocchi, its inspiration came via Alfredino and the legendary Vittorio Jano (who between them had convinced Enzo Ferrari of the inherent engineering merits behind a compact V6 as early as 1956). Developing a quoted 180bhp at 8,000rpm, the free-revving powerplant was allied to five-speed manual transmission and promised a 140mph plus top speed.However, despite sensational looks and inspired, race-bred handling, the announcement of an even faster variant at the March 1969 Geneva Motor Show saw 206 GT production cease in August 1969 after just 152 cars. Thankfully, its successor - christened the 246 GT on account of its larger 2418cc engine - retained the same sublime Pininfarina styling (albeit draped over a 60mm longer wheelbase). With a quoted 195bhp and 166lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 151mph and 0-60mph in 6.8 seconds. To ease manufacture, the revised two-seater utilized a cast-iron cylinder block and steel bodywork. Inheriting its forebear's cabin architecture complete with steeply raked bucket seats, aluminium fascia, suede-topped dashboard and 'chrome fingered' transmission gate, the model evolved through ‘L’, ‘M’ and ‘E’ Series. Regardless of Series / Tipo designations, just 488 right-hand drive 246 GTs are thought to have been UK supplied.According to Tony Willis of The Maranello Concessionaires Archive, chassis 01950 was one of just forty-eight, ‘Series M’ Dino 246 GT cars produced by Ferrari SpA for the UK market. Specified in Argento Auteil 106-E-1 with Black 161 Plastica upholstery, Black carpets and electric windows, Order D/41 cost first owner – F. Tydeman Esq of Greystone Garage, Swanage – some £5,210.75. Copy correspondence on file between Mr Tydeman and Mike Salmon of Maranello Concessionaires reveals that the former initially planned to collect the two-seater from the factory and asked (unsuccessfully) if it could be fitted with a wood-rimmed Daytona steering wheel.In the end he took delivery of the newly registered ‘FPK 28J’ from Maranello Concessionaires’ Egham premises on 27th May 1971. The Dino 246 GT changed hands twice more before being bought by the vendor’s late husband and his brother on 3rd June 1975. Both fully apprenticed toolmakers, the siblings became enthusiastic members of the Ferrari Owners’ Club of Great Britain but restricted usage of their treasured Dino to select social trips and FOC outings.Despite being kept garaged, time caught up with the 246 GT and what the brothers thought would be a cosmetic refresh when they embarked up on it in 1991 soon turned into an extensive, ‘ground up’ restoration. The body was stripped out and all surface rust removed from the chassis. Corroded bodywork was replaced at Moto Technique of Chertsey. The front valance and sections around the rear wings were replaced. The car was painted by Spray Tech of Cirencester. All the suspension was checked and stove enamelled. The shock absorbers were refurbished by Koni. The engine was found to be in very good condition. However, as a precautionary measure the valves and seats were replaced (Nimonic) as it was alleged at the time that high mileage engines could suffer valve breakage. All the ancillary parts were renovated, some made in stainless steel. The exhaust was replaced by a new one in stainless steel. The car has been kept as original as possible with the exception of the red paint finish, leather interior and the paint finish on the camshaft covers. Even the headlights were dismantled, re-silvered and refitted.Completed during 1995, the restoration was met with much acclaim. Sadly, the vendor’s husband died thereafter prompting the 246 GT to be laid-up. Having taken the decision to return the two-seater to the road, the family entrusted it to Peter Chambers Automotive of Tewkesbury in early 2019. Recommissioned at a cost of £7,719.55, ‘FPK 28J’ remains highly presentable some two years later. Showing just 50,400 miles to its odometer and coming to market for the first time in forty-six years, this decidedly rare UK-supplied Series M Dino is worthy of close inspection.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Mike Davismike.davis@handh.co.uk07718 584217

Offered with a V5c document, its unsurprisingly that the vendor now describes the bodywork, black paintwork, engine, transmission and black interior as all being in “very good” condition.The world long since ran out of new things to say about the Model T (or `Tin Lizzie' as it was affectionately known). Ford was already progressing impressively before the launch of the T in the autumn of 1908, but it was the model which really set the company, and the world, on the move. The statistics are staggering: it was the first car to be mass produced and the first to be manufactured in several countries simultaneously. Production ran for nineteen years, during which time some 16.5 million examples were built. The timing of the T was perfect. It came to market just as motorcars were gaining in interest and acceptance and sold for less than a wagon and team of horses. It mobilised people the world over and for the first sixteen years of production accounted for no less than 40 percent of all car sales in America - small wonder that it was voted `The World's Most Influential Car Of The 20th Century'. At launch the T was powered by a sidevalve 2.9-litre four-cylinder engine producing some 20hp. It was among the first to have its cylinders cast in one block and the first of all to have a detachable cylinder head. The epicyclic transmission had two forward speeds and a reverse and was controlled by a combination of three foot pedals and lever - a real test for drivers who cut their teeth on modern cars!Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Upon inspection it could not be repaired so a new starter motor has been ordered and will be forward to the successful buyer.The last year in which Ford's iconic pony car would escape being saddled with mandatory federal '5mph impact' bumpers and the year in which the Boss 351 and 429 Big Block were dropped due to emissions regulations, 1972 also represented the penultimate season of first-generation Mustang production. It was the final fling of Ford’s muscle car performance engine era.This impressive Mustang was imported into the United Kingdom in 1980 hence its ‘V’ registration plate. Thought to have arrived via the US Military personal import arrangement, it has a 351 cubic-inch V8 Windsor motor coupled to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Canary Yellow and riding on Torque-Thrust wheels, the original steering wheel has been replaced by a vintage leather Motolita item, and the gear lever is a ‘white ball’ Hurst shifter. A new Holley carburettor and fuel pump have recently been fitted and new spark plugs. The carpets were replaced and a major brake service carried out (including a new master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders) before the car was stored around six years ago. Fitted with desirable disc brakes at the front, the history file shows that in 2009 clutch and prop shaft work amounted to £3,150. Although the chassis number decodes as 1972 for the year of manufacture the body style is c.1969/70. Possibly the result of being back dated at some stage.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
Registration No: F673 TRUChassis No: 8266SMOT: November 202229,640 miles from new and current ownership since 2010Powered by a Rover V8 engine mated to a 5-Speed manual gearboxOffered with a collection of invoices and old MOT's This low-mileage Spyder has covered just c.29,640 miles from new having been in the current ownership since 2010. Powered by a Rover V8 engine mated to a 5-Speed manual gearbox ‘F673TRU’ is finished in dark blue with blue interior, the specification includes electric windows and a stainless-steel exhaust. Offered with a collection of invoices, assorted old MOT's back to 1993, current MoT to November 2022 and a Marcos build manual, the Spyder benefits from an oil and filter change carried out in January this year whilst the vendor currently rates it as having “good” bodywork, engine, transmission and interior with “average” paintwork.Founded by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin in 1959, Marcos was to become synonymous with British sports car building for road and track use during the 1960s before difficulties with the American market and the expense of new premises caused the firm to close in the early 1970s. The Marcos name was resurrected by Jem Marsh in 1981 with the premise of offering the previous GT models as kits. Power options were mainly Ford, Rover and Triumph units ranging from humble four-cylinders to larger V6s and V8s. Making its debut in 1993, the Mantula was similar to the old GT but was powered by Rover’s 3.5-litre V8 coupled to a five-speed transmission. The light alloy engine gave the car an all-up weight of around 900kg making performance on a par with rival models from TVR and Morgan. In 1989 the convertible or Spyder version was introduced which went on to become the most popular variant. A total of 170 coupes and 119 Spyders were built before Marcos retired from the kit car business in 1992 to concentrate on factory offerings.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
Registration No: OKV 421Chassis No: 1E50175MOT: ExemptL77-4, the third Lynx D-Type completed and supplied new to Blair Hamilton who was a friend of the company founder, Guy BlackInitially built to long nose, high tail 1955 specification and subsequently updated by Lynx to Works 1956 trim complete with a wraparound windscreen and two doorsAluminum body crafted by Williams and PritchardRaced in Canada, Europe, and the UK but since converted to fast road specificationThe first Lynx D-Type to be fitted with dry sump lubrication Founded by Guy Black and Roger Ludgate in 1968, Lynx soon became renowned for their Jaguar C-Type, D-Type and XKSS expertise (even working on the Coventry manufacturer’s own heritage fleet). Launched at the London Racing Car Show in 1974, the Lynx D-Type was a highly convincing Evocation. Typically employing a Jaguar E-Type donor, it featured an authentic alloy monocoque and aluminium bodywork by Williams & Pritchard. According to an accompanying dossier from The Lynx Register, ‘OKV 421’ was the third Lynx D-Type completed. Commissioned by Blair Hamilton of Classic & Thoroughbred Motors Ltd in Vancouver, who was a friend of Guy Black, it was built to 1955 specification complete with a long nose, high tailfin and single screen. Raced at Club level and the subject of an article in the Vancouver Sun newspaper on 25th January 1978, the D-Type was repatriated some two years later. Reportedly passing through the hands of Victor Gauntlet, Casper McDonald Hall and John Baynes thereafter, the latter had a slight off at Brands Hatch which saw the two-seater returned to Lynx for minor repairs. Bought by Barry Eastick during 1983, not long after it had graced the front cover of Sporting Cars magazine, ‘OKV 421’ resumed its competition career the following decade at the Nurburgring, Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps etc (having been the first Lynx D-Type converted to dry-sump lubrication). Looked after by John Pearson and Martin Greaves from 1989 onwards, the two-seater entered the current ownership in May 1997 for £69,000. Preferring to enjoy ‘OKV 421’ as a fast road car, the vendor tasked Lynx with reconfiguring it to Works 1956 specification (hence the addition of a passenger door and full-width wraparound windscreen). Taken off the road with an electrical issue some ten years ago, the two-seater has remained garaged ever since. Still registered under its Jaguar E-Type donor identity, this fabulous Lynx D-Type has the makings of a very worthwhile project. Offered for sale with a large history file dating back to 1976.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Mike Davismike.davis@handh.co.uk07718 584217

Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5-litre V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph. Though, AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example has been clocked at 205mph! Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of ‘creature comforts’. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following.Presented in Brilliant Silver Metallic with contrasting Black/Anthracite leather interior, GU03 PBX was registered in 2003 and boasts a fantastic specification including panoramic roof, AMG styling package, Keyless Go, heated massage seats, BOSE premium audio and more. Currently displaying 87,251 miles, the car was subject to replacement discs and pads in December of 2020 at a cost of £1,074, as well as replacement water pump, belts, engine mounts and gearbox mounts in July of 2020 at a cost of £1,310.14.

Subtly reworked from the previous model by in-house stylist John Blatchley, it boasted a notably larger boot and reprofiled rear wings. Switching from riveted to welded frame construction at chassis B349TO, the newcomer featured independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes (hydraulic front / rod rear). Powered by a 'big bore' 4566cc straight-six inlet-over-exhaust engine allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the R-type was a surprisingly strong performer, able to reach more than 100mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its high-speed handling and well-appointed interior, the model remained in production until 1955 by which time some 2,017 Standard Steel Saloons are thought to have been made.First issued with the Manchester registration number ‘OVU 200’ on April 22nd 1954, chassis B73WG has been in single family custodianship from new. Literally bought for buttons, the first owner was a large-scale manufacturer of clothing fasteners, the Bentley is highly original with a particularly delightful interior. The rich Red leather and polished wood veneers still reek of quality. The gloss Black paintwork has a deep shine but there are some imperfections to the bodywork which are to be expected of an unmolested but still sixty-seven year old car. Recently recommissioned following almost a decade of dry storage, the R-Type started readily upon inspection and is said to ‘drive very well’. A decidedly rare opportunity to acquire a one family owned from new Bentley. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and fresh MOT certificate.

Chevrolets produced from 1955 to 1957 are commonly referred to as “Tri-Five” Chevrolets. Interestingly enough, each year of the “Tri-Five” Chevrolets can be differentiated by their unique front end. For the 1957 model year, Chevrolet once again chose to restyle their car, this time it was in an effort to compete with the all-new 1957 Ford. The redesigned Chevrolets featured design cues borrowed from Cadillac. The car was very well received, and today the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has gained the reputation as one of the most iconic cars of the ‘50s.Presented in Larkspur Blue with ivory accents and chrome brightwork with matching interior, 932 XUD presents perhaps the only Bel-Air Townsman to ever be offered for auction in the UK. Acquired by its current custodian some 9 years ago to form part of a private collection, this particular example features chrome-wire wheels, chrome roof rack, cooler box in the boot and was subject to interior re-trimming by Ecklers of Hampshire.Mated to a 5.5L Chevrolet V8, a TH350 three speed transmission now replaces the two-speed Powerglide that would have been fitted as standard, and other upgrades include a full front disc kit with a dual servo brake conversion, a power steering conversion and gas shocks have also been added to front and back.932 XUD was subject to full service, replacement plug lead ends, rear brake overhaul and engine tuning in December 2020 and comes accompanied with the V5 document, a number of previous MOTs and invoices, as well as the 1957 owner’s guide, accessories booklet, wiring diagram manual...and yes, the fan and guitar on the dashboard are also included.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762
Registration No: 67 CCChassis No: 194377S109249MOT: ExemptPresented in its original shade of Marina Blue with matching Bright Blue interiorFantastic factory specification including 4 speed manual transmission, side-mount exhaust system and cast aluminium bolt on wheelsRegistration ‘’67 CC’’ (on a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette) included with the vehicleGrowing up from its first foray as an anaemic six-cylinder roadster in 1953, the Corvette matured fast, gaining V8 power in 1955 and packing more muscle (such as a fuel-injected 283 cu in V8 in 1957), options and ornate styling cues with every year. In 1963, the second generation debuted with clean, sharp-edged styling by Larry Shinoda that introduced coupe bodywork to the Corvette for the first time. This C2 style lasted until 1967 after which it was replaced by the C3 Stingray; these 'mid-year' cars are some of the most collectible Corvettes today. Four-wheel disc brakes arrived in 1966, along with the option of the big-block 396 cu in engine, but even the base 327 cu in powerplant gave 300bhp. The 1967-year models benefited from five years of development and are acknowledged as being the best of the C2 line. Indeed, the solid lifter L88 427/430 would become most sought-after Corvette ever; with only 20 examples being produced.Model year improvements for the 1967 line included; five smaller front fender vents replacing the previous three larger ones, flat-finish rockers without ribbing creating a lower, less chunky appearance, a single reversing light mounted above the licence plate whilst the previous model’s wheel covers gave way to slotted six-inch Rally wheels with chrome beauty rings and wheelnuts concealed behind chrome caps. Interior alterations were modest and included revised upholstery, whilst the handbrake was moved from beneath the dash to between the seats. With potential buyers anticipating the car's overdue redesign, sales for the Sting Ray's final year totalled 22,940, down by over 5,000 units from the results for 1966. Meanwhile, Chevrolet readied its third-generation Corvette for launch in the 1968 model year.Offered in its original shade of Marina Blue with matching bright blue interior, this particular example was subject to a ‘frame off’ restoration in the US prior to its import to the UK in 2007. It has had just two owners since, forming a part of the vendor’s private collection for the past five years.

Registration No: OPC 389WChassis No: BL006207MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2010Imported into the UK from Kuwait in 1981Understood to be 1 of just 4 examples in the UKDescribed as being “one of the most beautiful sports cars VW ever designed” by the German publication Hobby Magazine, it is perhaps a shame the SP2 was never officially offered to the European market. The model, based on the VW Variant, was developed by Volkswagen Brazil and offered between 1972 and 1976. Powered by a 1700cc engine and known as ‘Project X’ the prototype debuted in 1971. Sadly, its relative lack of performance against local opposition resulted in production ending in February 1976 after c.10,000 units had been built of which just 670 were exported with just one of these making it to Europe via Portugal.This left-hand drive example has been with the vendor since 2010 having been imported to the UK from Kuwait. It is understood to be one of just four examples in the UK currently. Retaining its original floor plan, the bodywork is said to have avoided the rust problems suffered by most. The SP2 is powered by a replacement VW Heritage SP2 1641cc engine (fitted in 2018) that breathes through twin Dellorto DRLA carburettors. These were installed and tuned by Rawspeed of Plymouth. We have been advised that all of the original engine parts not incorporated into the replacement engine can be collected from the vendor and that a stainless-steel exhaust created by Turbo Thomas is fitted. The gearbox has been overhauled by Bears Motorsport and the car is offered with a comprehensive history file which includes Arabic service invoices, import documentation, old MoTs, old blue logbook and a rare original handbook.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: YB03 EDXChassis No: WVWZZZ1JZ3W623236MOT: 08 November 2022Extremely rare Golf V5 model, which makes use of the only V5 automobile engine to reach productionOffered with just 16,737 miles on the odometer, 2 former keeers and an MOT valid until 08 November 2022Accompanied with the service booklet that contains 9 stamps, with the last at 13,967 miles The successor to the MK3, the MK4 Golf was Launched in October 1997 for the 1998 model year. With many variants offered, perhaps unknown but rather interesting is the V5 model. The V5 is mostly remembered for producing some intoxicating sounds and is an incredibly important car in automotive history, making use of the only V5 automobile engine to reach production. This 2.3 L (140 cu in) "VR5" engine manufactured by Volkswagen from 1997 to 2006 was Based on Volkswagen's VR6 engine, the VR5 was a narrow-angle engine with staggered cylinders (three cylinders on one bank and two on the other) sharing a single cylinder head. As per the VR6 engine, the angle between the banks was 15 degrees. The intention of the Golf V5 was to slot above the 1.8L turbo engine but below the high-performance VR6. When it was launched, the V5 produced 148 horsepower which fit nicely between the VR6's 200 horsepower and the 1.8-liter turbo's 134 horsepower. The V5 was then improved in the year 2000 with updated cams and variable valve timing allowing it to produce an impressive 168 horsepower. In today's world it's important to remember unconventional engines, and this is no exception.Manufactured in its final year of production, YB03 EDX is presented in silver with contrasting black leather interior, featuring sports seats and sports steering wheel. An extremely rare vehicle as it stands, this is made an even more exciting proposition with the vehicle’s mileage sitting at just 16,737 and showing only 2 former keepers on the V5 document. YB03 EDX comes accompanied with the service booklet containing 9 stamps, with the last in 2019 at 13,967 miles, as well as the V5 document and an MOT certificate valid until 08 November 2022. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, paintwork, transmission and gearbox and interior trim as ‘Good’, with the engine and electrical equipment as ‘Very Good’.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762
Registration No: BF 7219Chassis No: A4201822MOT: ExemptOne of the rarest and most desirable Model A’s produced, presented in Washington Blue with Riviera Blue beltline and Tacoma Cream strip and wheelsSubject to engine overhaul in June of 2020 at a cost of £2,037In current ownership for the last 6 years as part of a private collectionThe Model A’s introduction was a highly anticipated event, as Ford proved that it had perfected the art of effective product placement in one of the most successful new product launches in automotive history. The Ford Model A was manufactured between 1928 and 1931 and was the second huge success for Ford after its predecessor. The Model A was offered in a wide variety of body styles and was the first Ford to incorporate the standard set of driver controls with a conventional clutch, brake pedal, accelerator and gearshift. The engine was a water cooled in-line four cylinder arrangement with a capacity of 3.3 litres. With a conventional three speed gearbox, (plus reverse), the top speed was around 65mph. Stopping was by four wheel drum brakes operated by rods. Manufactured in the final two years of the Model A’s Production, the Deluxe Phaeton represented the top of the line and offered the pinnacle in sporting design, with an even lower roofline. Perhaps one of the most desirable Model A variants, out of the 4,858,644 Model A’s manufactured, only 2,229 were manufactured in the final year. To put into perspective, these cars are one in 2180, or as a percentage, these cars represented 0.00046% of model A’s. Nowadays, it is believed just a handful remain worldwide.Presented in Washington Blue with Riviera Blue beltline and Tacoma Cream strip and wheels, BF 7219 was restored to a very high standard some 45 years ago. As the story goes, the car was transported from concours event to event over a 30 year period covering a mere 200 miles (presumably just positioning the car). It was then sold to the next enthusiastic owner in River Falls, Wisconsin and he covered around 700 miles before it headed to the UK in 2015 for the pricely sum of $65,000 where it spent the summer receiving numerous awards on the show field before being purchased by its current owner that year, who has since kept the vehicle as part of a private collection. In June last year, BF 7219 was subject to an engine overhaul at the cost of £2,037, and comes accompanied with a folder including the v5 document, previous receipts, import paperwork and more.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

A WWII 'Operation Gambit' DSC group attributed to Sub Lieutenant R.F. Harbud, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, who formed part of COPP1, a secret operation in Midget Submarine X20 on the morning of the D-Day landings, Normandy 6 June 1944, Distinguished Service Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated '1944', 1939-1945 Star, Africa Star with North Africa 1942-43 clasp, Burma Star, France & Germany Star, War Medal, good very fine, mounted as worn, with a letter from Buckingham Palace and transmission slip, two silver and enamel medals relating to British Frozen Food Federation, both engraved 'R.F.A. Harbud' and an extensive amount of researchQty: (6)Footnote: DSC London Gazette 14 November 1944 'For gallantry, skill, determination and undaunted devotion to duty during the landing of Allied Forces on the coast of Normandy Sub Lieutenant Robin Frederick Harbud DSC, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve was promoted to Midshipman on 12 February 1943 and advanced to Sub Lieutenant on 1 March 1944. Harbud was released from service on 21 April 1946 having served at HMS Quebec from August 1943 to his release date. HMS Quebec was a Combined Ops shore base. Harbud joined COPPS in the Spring of 1943. Combined Operations Pilotage Parties (COPP) Formed in December 1942, when the need for invasion beach reconnaissance and assault guidance was officially recognised. All COPP members had to be able to fight their way out of any situation they may find themselves in (but only as a last resort). Avoiding trouble and compromising the mission was the top priority, so they needed scouting and stalking skills as well as a variety of other skills including physical and mental strength. All members had to undergo commando and specialist training. Harbud suffered poor eyesight and passed his COPP training by reading the chart twice with his left eye and in the preparation for the invasion of France, he was assigned to Operation Gambit. Operation Gambit Two Midget Submarines (X20 and X23) were to be used by COPPs teams to identify Sword and Juno beaches and act as markers for the assault on D-Day. The Submarines were to identify the narrow Sword and Juno beaches and then submerge and lie hidden until darkness. On the morning of D-Day, while it was still dark they were to surface and show lights to seaward that would serve as leading marks for the assaulting craft destined to land on those beaches. The two beaches were difficult to identify, the few landmarks on the low shore would be hard to distinguish when approaching in darkness, and even small inaccuracies in making a landfall might prove disastrous. After being postponed for 24 hours the signal was given and Harbud operated the mechanical hammer on the "Bong Stick" getting a terrible hammering from the waves breaking right over him. Eventually, just after first light, the assault craft became visible, their sound hidden by the gale, swept past X20 and onto Juno beach. The submarines returned to their Depot Ship after observing the landing craft reaching the shore safely. Five awards were handed out for this operation including the DSC to Harbud, after Normandy COPP1 was disbanded and reformed sometime later with Harbud being the only member of the Normandy COPP1 to remain, he was then sent to South East Asia Command where 7 operations were mounted, They carried out reconnaissance and chaung recce's by canoe and despite several encounters with the Japanese nobody was killed. A more comprehensive account of this group is included with the lot.The car badge featuring in the printed catalogue photograph for lot 270 is incorrect, it belongs in lot 269.
