On offer from a private Collection with less than ten miles from new. The Renault Clio V (fifth generation) was officially introduced in January 2019, ahead of its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019, offered in a variety of trims including Play, Iconic, S-Edition or the top-spec RS Line, which we have here. The RS Line is essentially a sport-inspired trim that gives the standard Clio a more dynamic, performance-oriented look and feel, without being a full Renault Sport (RS) performance model. It is largely about styling with enhancements of both the interior and exterior, offering a more aggressive design but with standard engine options like the TCe (Turbo Control Efficiency).Externally some key features of the RS Line include a sportier front bumper with a more aggressive air intake design and honeycomb grille, resembling the high-performance RS models, RS Line badging on the front wings and tailgate, 17” alloy wheels, chrome tailpipe, an F1-inspired front blade (a signature design feature of Renault’s RS cars) in the front bumper and a Sporty rear diffuser. Interior-wise the RS Line features Sports seats, aluminium pedals, red stitching and carbon fibre style interior trim. From a tech perspective the RS Line features a large touchscreen with Renault’s Easy Link infotainment system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SatNav and driver assistance systems like lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking and parking sensors.From a performance perspective, while the RS Line certainly looks sporty, it is equipped with the regular TCe engines, like the 1-litre 90, 1-litre 100 or the 1.3-litre 130, offering it a humble prioritising of efficiency and daily usability, over extreme performance, this example being the 1-litre.In essence, the Clio RS Line is designed for those who want a sportier look and feel without the full performance of a dedicated Renault Sport vehicle.On offer from a Deceased Estate, this 2012 Renault Clio RS Line TCE was first registered as AV21 WLA in May 2021. Our late vendor purchased it new and was the only owner. Eight delivery miles only.The V5C has been sent to DVLA by the executor and a new one will need to be applied for in the new owner’s name.Supplied with its original sales invoice, sundry paperwork and all the usual dealer book pack, manuals, user guides and service books etc.With sporty looks in top of the range trim, finished in desirable colours and packed full of modern tech and safety features, this lovely little Clio is surely the perfect city runabout or first car?Specification Make: RENAULT Model: CLIO RS LINE TCE Year: 2012 Chassis Number: VF1RJA00267434459 Registration Number: AV21 WLA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: U095043 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 8 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Well specified manual gearbox car in a stylish colour combination with just over 31,000 miles. At the Geneva Show in March 1999, as a replacement for their much-admired F355, Ferrari introduced the 360 Modena to critical acclaim and not unsurprisingly, within weeks there was a two year waiting list. The 355 was a tough act to follow, but the 360 was rather special - its all-aluminium construction (a first for Ferrari) was revolutionary, resulting in a much lighter car along with increased rigidity (40% lighter than the 355's steel platform but also nearly 30% stiffer), whilst also improving the under-body aerodynamics using knowledge gained from Ferrari's F1 programme. All this combined with the flowing Pininfarina lines, computer-controlled suspension, a staggering 400bhp, 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 186mph - immediately made its predecessor, the excellent 355, feel rather dated.The Modena also saw a new word introduced into Ferrari reviews - 'reliability'. The engineering had been more thoroughly thought through and this was (and still is) reflected in lower servicing costs than for earlier mid-engined examples of the 'Prancing Horse'. Higher levels of quality too meant that the 360 became one of the first truly modern Ferraris that could realistically be used every day. That didn't detract from the excitement factor however, with strong performance, a searing engine note and a very capable chassis.Supplied by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd, this right-hand drive 360 Modena is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and looks particularly special in Argento Nürburgring with a rare Bordeaux and black leather interior. It's still fitted with the OE equipment Becker Ferrari radio with the original instruction leaflet. Well specified from new with factory Wing Shields, a 'Challenge' rear grille and full electric seats, it was later treated to a Nouvalari sports silencer which just takes the exhaust note under load to a different level.The indicated mileage of 31,484 is supported by a full service record detailing a major service conducted just over 1,000 miles ago which included cam belts, air-conditioning belt and water pump. The service book contains 14 service stamps at the correct mileages, with either main dealers or specialists and the MOT is valid until August 2025. The car is supplied with all its original manuals, a full Ferrari toolkit, interior dust cover, Ferrari soft briefcase, Ferrari documents case with torch, four keys and two fobs including the original red item. Being finished in a colour combination away from the obligatory makes this lovely Ferrari in 6-speed manual form a very interesting proposition, as earlier Modena examples are now catching the eye and beginning to come of age.Specification Make: FERRARI Model: 360 MODENA Year: 2001 Chassis Number: ZFFYR51C000122444 Registration Number: X866 MGJ Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 59966 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 31484 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black/Bordeaux LeatherClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied, right-hand drive E46 M3 in Titanium Silver, 6-speed manual gearbox and just over 34,000 miles. BMW’s third-generation M3, the E46, took the hearts of real sports car fans by storm when it was launched in 2000. With a lightweight construction and its high-revving, in-line six-cylinder engine, it embodied, for many, a return to the virtues of the legendary first-generation cars, the E30. Priced on a par with the Porsche Boxster S, the E46 M3 was streets ahead in performance, challenging the much pricier 911 and Audi RS4. Stiffened, wider-tracked with big wheel arches and a massive front spoiler, it packed a 343bhp 3.2-litre ‘S54’ straight-six engine substantially re-engineered by the 'M' division. All cars were officially limited to 155mph, although Autocar’s test model happily topped 170mph.The pre-delivery inspection for this manual-gearbox Titanium Silver Metallic M3 was carried out by BMW main dealer, Wellways of Bath, on 27th December 2001 for delivery to its first owner in the New Year 2002 and consequently it's regarded as a 2002 model. The service book contains a further seven stamps, corroborating the remarkably low mileage of just over 34,000 and the current MOT is valid until June 2025.Probably the last of the true analogue M3s with the harmonious S54 3.2 engines, these high quality build Coupés can only appreciate and still represent incredible value as a true 175mph super handling offering from Bavaria.Specification Make: BMW Model: M3 Year: 2002 Chassis Number: WBSBL920X0JR01610 Registration Number: TBA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 60962671 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 34164 Miles Interior Colour: Titanium SilverClick here for more details and images

The Property of a Gentleman, a C16 UK car supplied to Jersey and showing just 16,300 miles from new with an incredibly detailed history file, reams of main dealer receipts and original service book. The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a redesigned interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core.The Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2001 bought the most significant changes to the 996. In addition to a more powerful 3.6 litre-engine and styling changes to the existing model range, there were two new models – the C4S and Targa. Visually, the main change to the Carrera 2 and 4 was to the front wings and lights, incorporating those from the Turbo model which was introduced in 2001. This gave it a noticeably different front-end look to the Boxster, as it was a common comment that they looked too similar. The front and rear bumpers were modified to give a ‘skirt’ effect around the bottom edges, giving them a slightly more aggressive appearance. Engine capacity was enlarged from 3,387cc to 3,596cc and there was a resulting power increase from 300bhp to 320bhp at 6800rpm. Maximum torque was up from 258ft/lb at 4,600 to 273 ft/lb at 4,250rpm.This, C16 UK-supplied Carrera 4 Tipronic S Cabriolet with just 16,300 miles from new has one of the most detailed main dealer and marque specialist service  historys of any modern low mileage sports car. Presented to auction with its original hard top, original handbooks, service book and an advisory free MOT valid until 22nd April 2025.Specification Make: PORSCHE Model: 911 Year: 2000 Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZYS641999 Registration Number: W673 XAA Transmission: Auto Engine Number: 66Y09893 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 16300 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Beautiful coachwork finished in Nero Daytona complemented by Crema leather, 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and just 29,353 miles from new. The Ferrari 599 succeeded its predecessor, the 575, in the summer of 2006 and brought the front-engined V12 Grand Tourer into the modern age. Whereas the 550 and 575, even at their introduction, always felt like modern classics, the 599 was every inch a new-age Ferrari. The all-aluminium chassis, F1 SuperFast gearbox, F1-Trac stability and traction control, magnetic semi-active dampers and carbon-ceramic brakes, all wrapped in aggressive, aero-optimised bodywork with minimal overhangs and maximum presence was a mission statement. Top billing, though, went to the engine - a lightly modified version of the Enzo's 6-litre V12 with a mighty 611bhp at 7,600rpm, endowing Ferrari's new series-production flagship with truly sensational performance with 0-62 in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 205mph. Of the 3,500 Ferrari 599 GTB F1 Fioranos produced globally, the United Kingdom’s share, as is the norm with right-hand drive Ferraris, amounted to under 10% of the total production. Online resources confirm that there are currently 301 examples registered in the UK.This delightful 599 GTB Fiorano F1 was supplied new in the UK on 1st December 2006 with few option boxes left unticked. The well chosen combination of Nero Daytona with recessed Scuderia Ferrari shields complements the Crema trimmed carbon fibre bucket seats, black top roll and matching carpets, highlighted by carbon fibre and aluminium inserts. The factory-fitted equipment includes dual-zone climate-control, electrically adjustable seats with driver memory function, electric windows, rear parking sensors, a carbon fibre-trimmed steering wheel with LED shift lights, an electrochromic rear-view mirror, leather headlining, a Giallo tachometer and a premium Bose sound system, enhanced by a more modern Pioneer unit with Bluetooth connectivity.Sitting four-square on 20" ‘Monolithic’ alloy wheels, housing Rosso callipers with carbon-ceramic brake discs and shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres, the 599 is perhaps the most handsome V12 GT Ferrari since the Daytona, designed, as they were, to be both beautiful and monstrously capable. A true GT car should raise the odd eyebrow when first introduced and then age gracefully, they should never be vulgar and we wonder how the aggressive coachwork of the 599’s successors will look in time.This glorious 599 is presented to auction freshly serviced with some 29,353 miles, its dealer handbooks, a well stamped service book and advisory free MOT Certificate valid until May 2025. It's also accompanied by the original toolkit in its tan leather case, a car cover and we are pleased to confirm the Cherished Registration Number V12 FSH is generously included in the sale.Specification Make: FERRARI Model: 599 GTB FIORANO Year: 2006 Chassis Number: ZFFFD60C000149552 Registration Number: V12 FSH Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 109009 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 28000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Crema LeatherClick here for more details and images

The six novels she wrote, though far from the heights of her detective fiction achievements, these still had moderate success. “Your letter re my Mary Westmacott book Absent in the Spring gave me so much pleasure that I feel I must write you a personal letter—This was a book I was wanting to write and which I went over and over in my mind—when at last I had a few days leisure I knew that at last the time had come—I wrote it in a matter of a few hours—at white hot speed and immense pleasure—such as I have never felt over any other book—I wrote it just as I wanted it to be—and refused to make the least alteration of any kind—I also enjoyed writing the other Mary Westmacott book[s]—The Rose & the Yew Tree and Giant’s Bread—but Absent in the Spring was my happiest non stop piece of pure pleasure.” - Letter to a fan, sold for ~$4,000 in 2014 at auction.    Rare with most of the original jackets. We also note a possible binding oddity for Giant's Bread - this copy is without the blind-stamped ruling above the title and below the publisher's imprint.

QIANLONG, EMPEROR OF CHINA (1711-1799); GIUSEPPE CASTIGLIONE (1688-1766 ET AL, ARTIST), AND CHARLES-NICOLAS COCHIN (1715-1790, ENGRAVER)A suite of fifteen Imperially inscribed and sealed engravings commemorating the Qianlong Emperor's victorious campaigns in Central Asia between 1755-1759. Completed 1769-1774.First French edition, 15 copper engraved plates, partially mounted. 88.7cm (35in) wide x 51.3cm (20 1/4in) long. (15).Footnotes:1769-1774年 「乾隆平定西域得勝圖」版畫十五幅 Provenance: Arthur Probsthain bookshop, London, possibly before 1927來源: Arthur Probsthain 書店，或於1927年前獲得The iconic London bookshop, founded by the Probsthain family in 1903, has been a fixture at 41 Great Russell Street, opposite the British Museum, since 1905. Initially managed by Arthur Probsthain, it later passed to his nephew, Walter Sheringham, who took over in 1941. He was soon joined by his wife in 1943. Their children, Michael and Lesley, became involved in the 1970s, ensuring the continuity of this renowned family business. For decades, Probsthain's has been considered one of the foremost dealers in Chinese books in the Western world.In a report presented at the Guimet Museum in 1927, the French sinologist Paul Pelliot claimed to know the storage places of five copies stating one was held by a bookshop in London. He did not give specific details and it is possible that this is the work he referenced. See P.Pelliot, Les influences européennes sur l'art chinois au XVIIe et au XVIIIe siècle, Conférence faite au Musée Guimet le 20 février 1927, Paris, 1948, pp.12 and 27.This suite of engravings represents a remarkable and unprecedented collaboration between East and West, at the height of the military power, artistic ambition and international collaboration of the Qing dynasty under the Qianlong Emperor. The set of engravings, originally sixteen, marks the successful campaigns in Eastern Turkestan that the Qianlong Emperor embarked upon between 1755 and 1759. These campaigns, ending with the suppression of a revolt of the Muslim Altishahr Khojas (1757-1759), led to the creation of the Western province of Xinjiang, under the control of the Qing empire. A ceremony was held in the Spring of the following year during which the two generals who had successfully led the campaigns, Zhaohui (1708-1764) and Fude (d.1776) were honoured and sixteen large-scale paintings recording the events were commissioned to be executed and installed in the Ziguangge (Hall of Purple Splendour), a building in the Imperial garden adjacent to the Forbidden City, which was to become the location of reception of foreign envoys and public display of the Qianlong Emperor's military conquests.The paintings were planned and executed by the Jesuits Giuseppe Castiglione (郎世寧 1688-1766), Jean-Denis Attiret (王致誠 1702-1768), Ignatius Sichelbarth (艾啟蒙 1708-1780) and the Augustinian Jean Damascene Sallusti (安德義 ?-1781). These formed the basis for the original set commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor of sixteen engravings commemorating his military victories in 1765 based on the wall paintings of the battles, conquests and ceremonies that marked his successful campaigns in the Western Region. They comprise:1.Receiving the Surrender of the Yili (preparatory drawing by Ignatius Sickltart (艾啟蒙 1708-1780), completed 1769) (1); 2.Storming of the Camp at Gädän-Ola (preparatory drawing by Giuseppe Castiglione (郎世寧 1688-1766), completed 1769); 3.The Battle of Oroi-jalatu (completed 1770); 4.The Victory of Khorgos (preparatory drawing by Jean-Denis Attiret (王致誠 1702-1768), completed 1774); 5.The Battle of Khurungui;6.The Chief of Us (Turfan) Surrenders with His City (preparatory drawing by Joannes Damasceuns Salusri (安徳義 ?-1781), completed 1774); 7.Lifting of the Siege at the Black Water River (preparatory drawing by Giuseppe Castiglione (郎世寧 1688-1766), completed 1771); 8.The Great Victory of Qurman (preparatory drawing by Joannes Damasceuns Salusri (安徳義 ?-1781), completed 1770); 9.The Battle of Tonguzluq (completed 1773); 10.The Battle of Qos-qulaq (completed 1774); 11.The Battle of Arcul (preparatory drawing by Jean-Denis Attiret (王致誠1702-1768)); 12.The Battle of Yesil-köl-nor (preparatory drawing by Joannes Damasceuns Salusri (安徳義 ?-1781), completed 1772); 13.The Chef of Badakhsan Asks to Surrender (preparatory drawing by Joannes Damasceuns Salusri (安徳義 ?-1781), completed 1772); 14.The Emperor is presented with Prisoners from the Pacification of the Muslim Tribes (preparatory drawing by Jean-Denis Attiret (王致誠1702-1768)); 15.The Emperor in the Suburbs Personally Receives News of the Officers and Soldiers Distinguished in the Campaign against the Muslim Tribes (preparatory drawing by Joannes Damasceuns Salusri (安徳義 ?-1781), completed 1772); 16.A Victory Banquet Given by the Emperor for the Distinguished Officers and Soldiers (completed 1770).In commissioning the engravings, the Emperor was inspired by prints of battles by the Augsburg engraver Georg Philipp Rugendas the Elder (1666-1742) and followed guidance from Louis-Joseph Le Febvre, head of the French Jesuit mission to China. To prepare the engravings, drawings were first created in China by Giuseppe Castiglione with the assistance of Jean-Denis Attiret, Ignatius Sichelbarth, Jean-Damascène Sallusti and Ding Guanpeng. These were then sent to France to be transformed into copper plate engravings under the direction of Charles-Nicolas Cochin, engraver to King Louis XV, by a team of engravers, including Jacques-Philippe Le Bas (1707-1783), Augustin de Saint-Aubin (1736-1807), Benoît-Louis Prévost (1747-1804) and Jean-Jacques Aliamet (1726-1788).The Qianlong Emperor requested an edition of one hundred copies but double that were printed and distributed across two ships, to reduce the chances of their being lost. The entire edition was received in China by 1775 for which the Compagnie Française des Indes in Canton was paid the sum of 240,000 pounds. Only a very limited number of extra copies was printed for the French King, his ministers and some members of the Court. The present set is of particular significance for bearing hand-written Imperial inscription and seals of the Emperor meaning that it was clearly one of the sets sent back to China.The Qianlong Emperor created a series of albums incorporating the engravings and his own poems. Two types existed: the first appended the inscriptions and Imperial poem to each engraving on a separate sheet, and the second, of which the present lot is an example, inscribed the poems directly onto the sheets of engravings. One of these sets was mentioned in the Catalogue of Books from the Tianyi Pavilion (天一閣書目) as having been gifted by the Qianlong Emperor in the 44th year of his reign (1780).Compare with one of a series of 16 engravings of the Turkestan campaign, 1764-1772, with added inscriptions, in the British Museum, illustrated by J.Rawson, The British Museum Book of Chinese Art, London, 1992, p.283, no.212.Compare with also 25 engravings, including 16 of the Turkestan campaign, 1755-1759, with added inscriptions which were sold at Sotheby's Paris, 18 December 2012, lot 172.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Make & Model:Nissan, GSi Date of Reg:H59MJC Colour:Red cc:1998 MoT:2025-09-03 Fuel Type:Petrol Mileage:44314 Transmission:automatic Summary:This very smart Sunburst Red Nissan Primera 2.0 GS saloon is now a very rare modern classic, with the website How Many Left? recording that only two 2.0 GS examples are left on the road. The model was introduced in late 1990 as a replacement for the Bluebird and built in Sunderland; in its day, it was a very well-regarded car with a reputation for fine driving and good handling. The 2.0-litre SR20 engine produces 128bhp.  This example was registered in March 1991, making it an early car. It features electric windows all round, central locking and manual factory sunroof. It is totally original - even down to original dealer numberplates, tax disc holder, keyring and factory stereo (with electric aerial) and is now showing a low 44,314 miles on its odometer, which can be verified from the paperwork. Condition inside and out is very good, especially considering the originality. The MoT is valid until September 2025. The first owner had it for 30 years until his death in 2020; in his ownership, it was carefully looked after and apparently garaged every night. It still has his binoculars and cassettes in the centre armrest cubby hole where he left them (along with newer versions of the sweets he also enjoyed). The V5C shows four recorded keepers overall. The Nissan has been featured on Furious Driving, Lloyd Vehicle Consulting and JJ On Cars on YouTube. It has also been in the Daily Telegraph's Rarest Cars series (and on its stand at Silverstone in 2023). In November 2023 it was displayed at the NEC Classic Motor Show on the Pride of Ownership stand and won the Retro Repmobile Trophy at the 2022 Festival of the Unexceptional. We are told by the vendor, who uses the car regularly (but sparingly) that it runs and drives well, with no known issues. Recent work has included an oil and filter service during the summer, with the tyres and battery also being quite fresh too. All electrical items are functioning as they should. There's an extensive history with the car that includes the current and past V5Cs, service book (with stamps up to 36,493 miles in February 2008, although there is paper evidence of servicing beyond this), owner's handbook, MoT certificates back to 2000, assorted invoices and press articles. There's also a separate dealer workshop manual as well as a Haynes one. The Nissan has all its trophies and awards as well, plus two original keys (with the alarm deactivated).

It has an MoT through to August 2025. The vendor, who has owned it since October 2014, states that he is unaware of any mechanical or electrical issues with the car and it runs and drives, with items such as air conditioning, electric windows, electric seats and central locking all functioning as they should. Upgrades include Eibach Pro Street S coilover suspension, Quaife Q2 LSD upgrade and Scorpion back box on the exhaust. The car has recently received a full service. Paperwork with the car includes the V5C and original book pack with owner's manual, audio instructions, radio code and service book stamped from 2004 to July 2024 at 61,659 miles (although the years 2016 to 2019 are not in the book, but MoT certificates and service records with invoices are in the history file). There's also a large folder of receipts for ad-hoc maintenance such as an ECU repair, battery replacement, new tyres, fitting of upgraded suspension, braided brake hoses etc plus a 2001 Alfa Romeo magazine and 2003 price list along with spare keys and remote control fobs. The adjustment tool for the coil-over suspension and a 3D printed copy of the missing jacking point cover is also provide which just requires paint. 

1932 Austin 16/6 Burnham Saloon 2249cc (Manual) – DE 8572First registered on 4th January 1932 and bought by a Mr Henry Burgess from Norfolk Hotel Garage in Arundel on 25th March 1932 for the price of £350. Trading in his Singer Saloon for £85. From that point on it appears that Mr Burgess kept a diary of every single expense transaction on the Austin, in fact the book contains some transaction that can only be assumed belonged to the Singer too. We can see that the car was effectively parked up during the war from December ’41 to 1946. As well as this the history file documents correspondence between owners in the 1960’s. There are letters later explaining that the original registration “GW 2949” somehow ended up on an Austin 12/4 and that the current registration DE 8572 is from a 1934 16/6. However, this was some time ago as the buff log book in the file is from 1947, and shows the current registration. There are MOTs dating back to the ‘70s. and invoices for restoration work carried out in the ‘90s. The current vendor has fastidiously restored and maintained this car into a near showroom condition since becoming only the 4th owner on the V5 in September 1997. The condition of this car is impeccable and a huge credit to the current vendor. There is very little we can say about the car that the history file and car itself can’t already tell you. Simply that this is a rare treat in the Austin world. Few, if any, come up for sale in this condition or with history so detailed. If you collect Austins, this is a must for you. Ditto if you like cars in exceptional condition.  View more - https://hansonsclassics.com/car/1932-austin-burnham-saloon/
