With just over 100 miles since a superb restoration and resplendent in its classic Gold Leaf colours, this little Europa is simply stunning.Launched at the 1967 Brussels Show, the Lotus Type 46 - the Europa - was the marque's first mid-engined road car, and was powered by a Renault 16 engine mounted in an Elan-type backbone frame. Its specification also included all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and disc brakes on the front wheels (subsequently on the rear, too). Unusual styling provided ample luggage space whilst rearward visibility through the narrow, full-width back window was surprisingly good.Having been manufactured exclusively for export for its first two years, the Europa made its UK debut in 1969 in improved S2 form. Renault-engined like its S1 predecessor, the S2 reverted to a conventional body/chassis attachment, the S1 shell having been bonded in place - a move that greatly simplified and cheapened accident repairs - while electric windows and adjustable seats were welcome additions to the previously somewhat penny-pinching specification. In the autumn of 1971, the Type 74 Europa Twin Cam was introduced, powered, as its name suggests, by the Ford-based DOHC engine from the Elan and, with 105bhp on tap, the Twin Cam was good for a respectable 117mph.This outstanding Europa, with an extensive restoration just completed, is superbly detailed throughout. Originally manufactured on the 14th July 1972 for the US market in left-hand drive, the Twin Cam remained overseas until returning to the UK in 2006. Upon its arrival, an extensive restoration commenced taking some 15 years to come to fruition, and during the rebuild the Lotus was converted to UK right-hand drive specification which included a new firewall for integrity and originality. Externally, it has been fully refinished by Lotus Specialists ‘Spyder Cars’ in the desirable and instantly recognisable Gold Leaf colour scheme of Carnival Red over Cirrus White, a combination beloved by Lotus F1 all those years ago. Mechanically the engine, gearbox and final drive have all received attention and, now fully detailed and with less than 100 miles covered since completion, a further period of running in is highly recommended to achieve the very best from the renowned Twin Cam 1600 engine. Internally, a full retrim has been completed in Oatmeal hide contrasting superbly with the overhauled gauges and dashboard. Now rolling on its refurbished original 13’’ alloy wheels fitted with Yokohama A539 tyres, this freshly restored Europa must surely rank as one of the very best on the market today and as such we encourage and welcome your early inspection to fully appreciate the lengths taken to prepare this superb two- seat, mid-engine, sports coupe to this remarkable standard. SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: EUROPA TWIN CAMYear: 1972Chassis Number: 72072501RRegistration Number: AWW 463KTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 35885 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Oatmeal HideClick here for more details and images

Beautifully presented early GC8 Impreza Turbo with just 8,900 miles from new.The fabulous Subaru on offer today is one of four Impreza WRX models purchased brand new in Hong Kong in 1995. All four vehicles remained unregistered and unused and kept in secure storage with the supplying Subaru Dealership. In 2003, all four vehicles were shipped to the United Kingdom in two 40 ft containers via Henderson Line Ltd through general agents in Hong Kong - Exel Hong Kong Ltd.  The date of shipping was 4th August 2003 and importation into the UK was handled by CARS UK Ltd on 3rd September 2003. All Customs clearance, processing charges, import duties and VAT payable were settled through CARS UK Ltd. The vehicles were then placed into storage in a Bonded Warehouse storage facility. On 13th November 2003, the vehicles were shipped by covered transporter from CARS UK to a secure storage facility in Cannock, Staffordshire.The recorded mileage on the speedometer of GC8-033988 as at 18th November 2003 read 00189 and the trip meter indicated the exact same reading of 00189.On 18th August 2004 the vehicle was delivered to North Birmingham Motor Co Ltd for recommissioning and preparatory work in order to present the vehicle for SVA Inspection prior to applying to DVLA for the vehicle to be UK registered. The speedometer reading at this point read 00230. A converter was fitted to change readings from KMH to MPH and 230 km became 230 miles.The vehicle joined several other important classic cars in the owner's private Collection and alongside his other vehicles has been held in secure, heated, de-humidified storage. All the vehicles have been maintained by a small team of professionals, consisting of a fully qualified Mechanical Engineer (Ex-Aston Martin trained - 40 years' experience) and his junior assistant, a Valet (Ex-Aston Martin Distributor) and a General Manager. As with the majority of car collections, all of the vehicles have been kept in storage over the winter months (Oct to May) and only driven during fine weather conditions. All have been stored in Carcoons and/or Air Chambers under high-quality fitted dust sheets and 'kept on the key' by way of being regularly started and run-up to full operating temperatures and lightly exercised periodically during long periods of inactivity. Fuel, fluids and filters have been regularly refreshed and vehicles presented for an MOT test every year, wherever practical.At the time of photography, 033988 had covered a total of 8,963 miles as detailed in an extensive report that covers MOTs, mileages between, every service, all maintenance and any upgrades/rectifications in amazing detail. The report runs to four A4 pages and is far too long to display here but it is available to interested parties through our consignor and a copy will be with the car's history file at our Documents Desk at Race Retro.This little Subaru is not a 'trailer-queen' but has been regularly used and enjoyed over the past year. However, the level of maintenance and care can only be described as 'exceptional'. All the original parts (wheels, suspension, exhaust etc.) are available to collect from our vendor should the new owner require them.SpecificationMake: SUBARUModel: IMPREZZAYear: 1994Chassis Number: GC8033988Registration Number: L682 DBBTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 370968Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8962 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black / GreyClick here for more details and images

A lovely, matching numbers 356C with a recently rebuilt engine and gearbox now ready to go historic rallying or just enjoy on the road.At first glance, the 356C, introduced in mid-1963, differed little externally from its predecessor, the 356B, since it continued to use the T-6 body type which had arrived in 1962. Porsche, however, brought the 356 concept to its zenith with the 356C, available in Coupé and Cabriolet form, with the addition of Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes as standard, a higher-lift camshaft for the 1,600cc engine, new flat-face hubcaps and deeper bucket seats. These seats came courtesy of Porsche's acquisition of Reutter, which included the future Recaro subsidiary. 356 production peaked at 14,151 cars in 1964 which coincided with the arrival of the new 911 model, however, Porsche continued to sell the 356C in North America right through to the end of 1965.Just out of long-term ownership, we are pleased to present to market this beautiful Porsche 356. Supplied new by Brumos Porsche of Florida, and imported to the UK in 1995, the car was enjoyed and improved by a single owner for the next 25 years, changing hands for the first time since being in the UK in 2021.Set up and enjoyed on various regularity rallies and European road trips, including the Monte Carlo Challenge, Winter Challenge, Rally of the Tests and Classic Marathon, demonstrating the car is more than capable of covering long distances with ease.The car benefits from a full engine rebuild by marque specialist, Andy Prill, and the dyno printout shows the car was producing just over 100hp with approximately 7,000 miles being covered since the work was completed. The gearbox was also rebuilt in 2016 by Porsche specialists, Autostrasse, as have the carburettors with bills on file for all the work carried out. The suspension has been upgraded to adjustable LEDA on the front and Bilstein on the rear and the car has been converted to 12-volts for more reliable starting and lighting during competition use.Being the final evolution of the 356, the 'C' also benefits from disc brakes all round which we understand work really well. The only real changes away from the original car are the bolt-in Roll Centre rear roll-bar, the addition of the timing equipment, a sports exhaust and a classic MOMO steering wheel. The original items, including the original steering wheel, are all with the car. It has been painted some time ago, but remains largely original on the body, with original panels in place and only some small repairs carried out to the bottom of the doors, all of which has been documented. It starts on-the-button, drives especially well and definitely has a certain charm about its original yet purposeful appearance. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is present, confirming the matching numbers along with a large folder of invoices, the original Drivers Manual, FIVA identity card, past MOTs and invoices from Roger Bray, PR Services, Autostrasse, Francis Tuthill and Karmann Konnection. The car was also featured in an article in Porsche Post magazine, detailing the previous owners experience with the car on the Monte Carlo Challenge, copy included.A thoroughly likeable 356, ready to be enjoyed in every possible way and offering huge value in today’s market.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 356CYear: 1964Chassis Number: 219399Registration Number: KBY 166CTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 43111 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A very capable touring machine, restored and enhanced to 'S' specification, maintained by XK specialists, and routinely driven to the Le Mans Classic.The XK150 was the final incarnation of the XK Series when it appeared in May 1957 and was offered as either a Fixed or Drop-Head Coupé. A more refined and capable machine than its predecessors, the 150 was noticeably different from earlier versions of the XK theme, with a higher scuttle and door line, whilst the radiator grille reverted to the thinner slats of the XK120 but was altogether wider. The bumpers were deeper and wrapped around, a curved windscreen replaced the divided one on the XK120 and 140, and much needed servo-assisted Dunlop disc brakes were fitted at each corner. However, the XK150 retained much of the mechanical layout of the 140, sharing the same 180bhp 3.4-litre DOHC Jaguar straight-six.The car offered for sale here was built on the 9th December 1959 as a UK-market, right-hand drive, 3.4-litre FHC fitted with the desirable manual overdrive transmission. It was supplied via Henlys Ltd. London to the dealership, Norton Thames Jaguar, and onwards to its first owner, a Mr D. Hewitt of London.As wasn’t uncommon with XK cars of this era, this example’s original engine was subsequently replaced by a more powerful 3.8-litre XK unit (ZA 3378-8). Sometime later, in 1985, the then owner commenced a full bare metal restoration but during this process sold the car, in early 1992, to the Carriage Company. They took on the restoration, taking a further 18 months to complete it, ensuring all necessary chassis work (including ball joints, track rod ends etc.) and perishable items were up to MOT standard, plus oven-painting the bodywork in ICI 2-pack Carmen Red and re-chroming parts as necessary. The interior too was completely renewed and retrimmed in black Connolly hide piped in red.Building on its bigger and more powerful 3.8-litre engine, the Carriage Company engineers carried out all relevant work to the powerplant to bring the XK up to factory ‘S’ specification. This included completely stripping the engine, regrinding the crankshaft, replacing the shells and engine seals, whilst also cleaning the pistons and fitting new rings. The ‘S’ specification included changing the head to a straight-port type with new valves, guides and a head overhaul with new gaskets. Triple 2.0” SU HD8 carburettors were then fitted with all the necessary linkages and throttle assemblies. All alloy parts were stripped, cleaned and polished. This enhanced engine was refitted, tested and tuned as near as possible to factory standard, generating an impressive 265bhp at 5,000rpm.Our vendor acquired the car some 18 years ago (in 2005), during which time it has further benefitted from extensive work by XK specialists (notably Marcus Barclay of Buckinghamshire) to keep it in tip-top condition. We understand that he has invested around £25,000 during his ownership on its upkeep and servicing, supported by paperwork and invoices in the car's history file. Improvements include bodywork maintenance, electronic ignition, a header tank, inertia seatbelts, an alternator, stainless-steel exhaust, a Kenlowe fan and halogen headlights. The car has featured at The Hurlingham Club's ‘Salon Privé’, regularly attended the Le Mans Classic and, in more recent times, the Spa Classic – trips its does with ease, with occupants travelling long distances in complete comfort and with style and reliability – the brief of any high-performance Jaguar sportscar.This venerable XK is in need of very little and starts and drives very well with good oil pressure and efficient cooling. It's offered to auction following a long and conscientious ownership period, where it was much-loved. Eminently driveable, this is a really lovely example of a timeless design with a desirable modern specification all tucked away inside the outstanding profile of this classic Jaguar roadster. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK150 FHCYear: 1959Chassis Number: 5824722DNRegistration Number: 236 PFTransmission: Manual Engine Number: V6045-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 80395 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Offered from The Twin Sparks Collection. One of the last of the line and in simply outstanding order, this Twin Cam has recently benefited from an £18,000 engine refresh in 2020.The MGA was announced on 26th September 1955 and officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show that year, replacing the visually aged MG TF, signifying a complete styling change-up from MG’s earlier sports car iterations. The TF could’ve been mistaken for a pre-war car to the untrained eye and the MGA was a welcome breath of fresh air. Over 100,000 units were built with production ending in 1962, with the vast majority of cars being exported, with just 5,869 home market cars. Clad in a sleek, aerodynamic body, benefiting from independent suspension and rack and pinion steering, the MGA proved an instant hit, selling 13,000 units in its first full year of production.Immensely popular though it was, the 'A' faced stiff competition from the larger-engined Triumph TR3 and Austin Healey 100/6. Coaxing more power from the standard MGA engine was becoming increasingly difficult, so development was concentrated on a twin-overhead-camshaft cylinder head for the B-Series block. Conceived at Cowley by BMC engineer Gerald Palmer and introduced in 1958, the new 1,588cc engine did not disappoint. It featured a special light alloy cross-flow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers and carried twin overhead camshafts with valve operation via Coventry Climax-style inverted bucket tappets, producing an impressive 108bhp at 6,700rpm. Considerably faster than the standard MGA, the Twin Cam could comfortably exceed 110mph, and to cope with the increased performance Dunlop disc brakes were fitted all round and Dunlop centre-lock wheels were a distinctive addition. The only other visual identifier was the script 'Twin Cam' near the vent aside the bonnet. A high price and an unjustified reputation for unreliability discouraged sales and the model was dropped after just two years. Production totalled 2,111 cars, a mere 360 of which were sold on the home market, and today the Twin-Cam is rightfully one of the most sought-after of post-war MG sports cars.This example is a 1959 MGA Twin Cam which was originally sold as a Complete Knock Down (CKD) car to South Africa, as confirmed by the Heritage Certificate, but always a right-hand drive car, not a conversion that is so commonly seen. It was one of the last eleven cars produced, it thus has a 1600 body and the last and best version of the folding hood. Finished in Chariot Red with red trim, and specified with disc wheels, windscreen washer, twin horns, oil cooler and two fog lamps. It left South Africa in the mid-2000s and spent some time in Austria and Germany before returning to the UK around 2013.Without doubt, the most notable section in the car's history file is the engine rebuild by Peter Wood of Westwood Portway. The invoices and updates of the 9 month project are all handwritten and hugely detailed, reading like a fascinating novel. With Westwood being regarded as the guru of the MG Twin-Cam engine, perfection was as close to guaranteed as one could imagine, and with a cost exceeding £18,000 one would hope so! The engine rebuild was required as our vendor discovered a slight rattle from the engine soon after its purchase, and wanted the car to be perfect, so away it went for its mechanical freshen-up. Alongside the substantial bills are a series of photos documenting the engine rebuild throughout its time at Westwood, showing the level of attention paid to ensure it was just right. Additionally, there is some German paperwork and photos of its time there, a UK V5C, the car's Heritage Certificate, and a few old MOTs. There is also an invoice (£808) for a full wet flat and machine polish and chrome wax by SJD Classic Restorations in 2018 to get the MG looking its best before going into the Collection.As with all of the cars within The Twin Sparks Collection, this car is a spectacular example of a Twin-Cam Roadster that fires up instantly with that pleasing raspy engine note and performs impeccably. It is essentially two cars in one as below 3,500rpm  you have a docile town car and above that and all the way to red line, the car comes ‘on cam’ and is a wildly elevated experience. Very sensibly guided for what is an immaculate example of a very late MGA Twin-Cam Roadster.SpecificationMake: MGModel: MGA TWIN CAMYear: 1960Chassis Number: YD22600Registration Number: 329 UYETransmission: ManualEngine Number: 16G/U/120Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 11269 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Offered from The Twin Sparks Collection. Simply outstanding example of the type, subject to a meticulous restoration down to the finest detail.Alfa Romeo is arguably the brand that is most synonymous with the unequivocal Italian passion and flair that surrounds their motorcars, and it doesn’t get much more Italian than Alfa Romeo in the 1960s. Their heritage is draped in motorsport success, competing since 1911 with their 24hp Grand Prix and with their maiden victory arriving shortly after in 1913 with their 40/60hp. Not only were the cars ferociously fast, but they were painstakingly beautiful. In the following decades they had great success with the RL, P3, 6C and 8C, all before the start of the War. Post-war, Alfa Romeo again focussed their efforts on racing, entering Formula 1, and with the exception of a few years here and there, they still compete to this day. It's no surprise that by the time they decided to take their immense skillset to the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) in the 1960s, their craft was somewhat mastered. The Giulia swiftly took its place on the top step of the podium, taking  Championship victories in 1966, 1967 and 1969.Released in September 1963 at the newly opened Arese plant, later displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the same month, the Giulia Sprint GT was the first Giulia sport model in the Tipo 105 line-up. The styling was entrusted to the, then, 22 year old Giorgetto Giugiaro, but with two Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Special Bertone’s and Alfa Romeo’s 2000 and 2600 Sprints already behind him, it’s easy to see that the car's looks were in capable hands. Nicknamed the Scalino or ‘Stepfront’ due to the bonnet sitting 1cm above the nose of the car to allow for improved cooling, the Sprint GT saw plenty of distinguishing features and upgrades over the standard GT. Externally, in addition to the chrome badging, there was an Alfa Romeo logo on the front grille, rectangular ‘Disegno di Bertone’ badges on the front wheel arches and a flat, chrome grille with rectangular mesh in place of the additional chrome bars giving a more sleek and aggressive look, especially when combined with the single-piece chrome bumpers with no over-riders.Inside, the padded vinyl dashboard was characterised by a concave horizontal fascia, finished in grey anti-glare crackle-effect paint with the four round instruments inset in front of the driver and steering wheel was a non-dished, aluminium tri-spoke thin Bakelite rim.At the car's heart is the sonorous 1570cc all-aluminium, twin overhead camshaft, four-cylinder engine fitted with twin-Weber 40 DCOE carburettors producing over 100bhp at 6,000rpm mated to a quick and precise all-synchromesh, 5-speed manual transmission. The braking system was uncompromised with servo assisted Brembo disc brakes all-round. This magical mixture not only sounds truly incredible but allowed the Sprint GT a top speed of 113mph as observed by Quattroruote in their December 1964 road test.The car on offer here is exceptional, even by the Twin Sparks Collections extremely high standards. The history file is like opening a perfectionist’s brain. Everything is chronological, labelled and sectioned, including a very helpful summary sheet listing which parts were purchased, where from and which part of the car they were for and totals. Excluding any labour, there are bills on file for over £20,000 in parts alone, and clearly this car was not rushed, with perfection and accuracy as priorities.The project car was purchased from Classic Alfa in 18th May 2011 and was completed with the obligatory post-project MOT on 29th November 2013. To say the owner was a marque-enthusiast simply wouldn’t do it justice. Having raced Alfa Romeos for years and being a true guru on the brand, this can be seen in the level of detail on this restoration. Within the history file there are photos showing the car was subjected to a bare metal respray in Rosso Alfa as part of the full rebuild. The majority of the parts were purchased from Classic Alfa, as well as Alfaholics and EB Spares. The ‘other’ section includes specific items such as the engine rebuild, machine work and balancing by Gosnay Engineering. This is especially important as this Sprint GT benefits from a host of mechanical upgrades such as larger GTA-type trumpets, GTA exhaust manifold, front pipe, centre pipe and tailpipe, giving this Alfa a throaty roar. The handling is uprated with larger callipers and discs provided by Classic Alfa and a Koni Sport Handling Kit.This is a car that encapsulates the passion of Alfa Romeo. Superbly built with subtle upgrades, this is a truly outstanding motorcar in looks, performance and style. Given the remarkable growth in Type 105 values over recent years, this may well be one of your better investment decisions.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: GIULIA SPRINT GTYear: 1965Chassis Number: AR751301Registration Number: EGD 936CTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 00502-04926Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 98993 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Offered from The Twin Sparks Collection. An immaculate JD Classics restored and upgraded car, presenting in outstanding order in a stunning colour combination.Despite its undoubted cachet and elegant lines, the Mk 2's design is over 60 years old and certain mechanical aspects are a little 'agricultural'. For years now there have been owners who, whilst enjoying their classic Jaguar saloons, have decided to upgrade their cars and companies like Beacham and Vicarage have arrived to help owners restore, update and even re-imagine their cars. Referring back to those who are remembered for being ‘The Bad Guy’, this specific Jaguar Mk2 was fully restored and built to specification by JD Classics. Whilst their recent reputation did take a warranted hit through highly questionable dealings, before they went off the beaten track their restoration and upgrade work was simply leagues above the competition. To the untrained eye, a JD Classics Mk 2 looks like a normal Jaguar, however it is anything but normal. With bigger disc brakes all round, power steering, upgraded wheels and tyres, drivetrain upgrades and interior upgrades such as adding a mechanically operated sunroof which one wouldn’t know wasn’t OEM without prior knowledge, this Mk2 is simply stunning to look at, be in and drive. The cars were never cheap upon completion from JD Classics, with an eye-watering figure being given to own one of these fantastic examples, but the age old saying of ‘the quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten’ couldn’t be more relevant with this car.According to the Heritage Certificate, it was initially finished in Mist Grey with a red leather interior but is now resplendent in glorious Jaguar Opalescent Dark Green over a cream leather interior. It's a timeless look that is as popular now as it ever has been.The history file is fairly minimal with a scan of the Heritage Certificate, a selection of old MOTs, invoices from JD Classics for servicing/work undertaken on the car, and a Jaguar Service Handbook, but this car needs to be seen in the metal to be appreciated for the quality that it is, and have all these small and subtle upgrades spotted and noted down.Metallic Green over cream, 3.8-litres with a manual box and overdrive, chrome wire wheels, and upgraded and uprated by the best in the business, does it get much better than that? Priced at a fraction of what it cost from JD Classics, this stunning Jaguar is very impressive and we invite and encourage your close inspection of this lovely motor car.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK2 3.8 MANUAL O/D SALOONYear: 1961Chassis Number: 203090DNRegistration Number: TSU 891Transmission: ManualEngine Number: LB1067/9Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cream LeatherClick here for more details and images

The rarest of the rare 996 GT2s, presented to market in excellent condition as one of 17 UK-supplied C16 Clubsports. With 463bhp, rear-wheel drive and no driver aids, this is a serious motor car.With the advent of the water-cooled 996 in 1999, it was inevitable that a GT2 version would be on the cards soon after and, in 2001, Weissach duly obliged. First revealed at the 2000 North American International Car Show, costing £114,900, around £30,000 more than the already-bonkers Turbo, the GT2 was powered by the M96/70 3.6-litre, twin-turbocharged flat six producing 463bhp and 620Nm of torque, all transferred to terra firma through the rear wheels. The Mezger engine fitted to the GT2 utilised the newly introduced 'Variocam Plus' system and had 10% more power than the Turbo, which was achieved by fitting larger turbochargers and intercoolers, a revised air intake, a modified exhaust system and a re-programmed ECU.The GT2 also made use of a race-derived gearbox, which was reworked and fitted with the lubrication system from the GT3 RS, plus the addition of a friction-plate, limited-slip differential tuned to match the car's ultra-stiff suspension which was 20mm lower than the Turbo to achieve a lower centre of gravity. Coupled with aluminium monobloc 'Turbo Design' wheels, a larger 89-litre fuel tank and completely new front panelling to reduce aerodynamic front-lift at high speeds and increase air intake, the GT2 was brutal from Day One. Naturally, performance was electrifying with a 0-62 mph time of just 4.1 seconds, and a top speed of 196mph.Body modifications improved the car's dynamics and, although similar wide wings and arches were used along with a more aggressive nose and a larger rear wing. The whole effect was more subtle than the slightly 'tacked on' look of the 993 GT2. Power was not the only objective, and the car's weight was reduced by 90kg from the basic 911 Turbo which, when combined with stiffer springs and other suspension modifications, resulted in superb handling. In period, this was the fastest road car Porsche had ever produced.However, to appease those who had been hoping for a new 'turn-key' racer, the Clubsport package was offered, featuring fire-retardant cloth lined Recaros, six-point race harnesses, a bolt-in rear roll cage (front section supplied separately), fire extinguisher, and a battery cut-off switch.The car presents beautifully in Polar Silver paintwork with a black leather interior to Clubsport specification, as it left the factory. Just 1,287 GT2s were produced worldwide in all guises, 70 of those were RHD, and just 17 of those were UK-supplied C16 Clubsport cars, making it the best option it could be.Having covered just 58,600 miles, it is accompanied by a full, comprehensive service history, all carried out by Porsche or independent Porsche specialists as expected. Its last service was in July 2022 by marque specialists JZM, with the most recent major service in April 2021 by Porsche Centre Silverstone at 58,071 miles.The car is in wonderful condition throughout, with just the lightest of stone chips as expected with use. Sympathetically improving its usability it's fitted with climate control/air conditioning, an extended leather interior and has been updated to the latest Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) for Sat Nav and smart phone connectivity. The lightweight 18" Turbo Twist alloys are in great shape and are wrapped in matching Michelin Pilot Sport tyres with plenty of tread remaining. Currently the car is fitted with a smaller MOMO Alcantara sports steering wheel, however the original is present and in fabulous condition. The full book pack is present, along with past invoices and both keys.Rear-wheel drive, 463bhp and no driver aids, it is so easy to see how it quickly gained a reputation as the ultimate driver's car and deserves its reputation. Seemingly underappreciated in today’s market, make no mistake that the GT2 is an outstanding drivers’ car, still capable of humbling the vast majority of cars on both road and track and showing outstanding value, one to buy now and watch for the future.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 996 GT2 CLUBSPORTYear: 2001Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99Z2S695114Registration Number: LG51 GBZTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 64220575Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 58608 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

One of only four right-hand drive Alpina B3 GT3s built from a total production run of 99, celebrating the company’s success in the German GT championship with a B6 GT3. Light weight with many performance, handling and styling upgrades.The Alpina B3 GT3 is a very special car. Only 99 examples were manufactured worldwide to celebrate the company's success in the German GT championship with a B6 GT3. Launched with great acclaim, with Alpina PR videos and a 15-page information booklet, the car was very well received. It was Alpina's take on the wild BMW E92 M3 GTS of which there were 135 examples worldwide and are now valued at c.£130,000 - £150,000.Alpina started with their already special B3 S Biturbo, utilising the very well-regarded 3-litre straight-six, and set about adding choice components and upgrades to create a consummate all-round sports car. In producing the B3 GT3, they did what only a few manufacturers or tuning specialists can do - they made a car that is not only very competent on a track-day but can also be driven every day in comfort with real road-driving abilities and refinement. The engine produces 402bhp and 398lb/ft (74lb/ft up on the M3 GTS) reaching the back wheels through a Drexler limited-slip differential, enabling a 0-62mph time of 4.5 seconds  and onwards to a top speed of 186mph. With weight-saving in mind, the B3 GT3 versions of Alpina's iconic multi-spoke 'Classic' wheels are 25% lighter (housing blue six-pot calipers clamping 380mm discs), whilst the titanium Akrapovic exhaust saves another 11kg. The biggest mechanical change, however, is reserved for the suspension. The standard width rear axle is fitted with fully adjustable coil-overs at each corner. Not only is the ride-height variable, but the dampers also have 12 settings in compression and 18 in rebound. Helpfully, Alpina also offers the driver three pre-determined, progressively firmer set-ups for the chassis.Ultimately, for all its exclusivity and engineering integrity, this car is really about the driving experience.

This striking 1980 Escort started life as a 1600 Sport and now features a 2.0 Litre XE ‘big-valve’ engine and many performance upgrades. Beautifully built and currently in 'Fast Road' spec, with some safety updates may have potential for competition.Offered here for auction at the 2023 Race Retro international Historic Motor Show is this beautifully upgraded Ford Escort 1600 Sport featuring a genuine Ford X-Pack body-kit and 2.0 Litre XE ‘big-valve’ engine. The build began with a rare Escort 1600 Sport that was already fitted with a genuine X-pack kit, the bodyshell was excellent and a superb basis for the project. With no expense spared, only high-quality items were sourced to complete the build including the well-regarded XE 2.0-Litre engine that is easily tuneable, reliable and versatile. Breathing through a custom carburettor set up and exhaust manifold it's mated to a rebuilt five-speed gearbox and matched with a competition clutch.Inside the cabin is a pedal box with the option of brake bias linked to an AP brake set up with a hydraulic hand-brake. The seats are in date (2026) Sparco Grid Q buckets with harnesses and correct mounts, the cage is bolted to the floor and welded so could be removed if necessary and there is a fire extinguisher fitted. Handling is sorted with coil-over suspension at the front and uprated shocks in the rear with a brand new set of performance wheels fitted with new tyres.The car has been built with the flexibility to be used for competition, however, interested parties will need to check that the car and safety equipment comply with the regulations specific to the intended Series or Championship.It's accompanied by a history file which contains a wealth of receipts for parts, the original VIN-tag, current V5C registration paperwork ready for export or transfer and various other items of correspondence from over the years.Finished in Signal Green with Gold Minilites and an original X-Pack, this eye-catching Escort was built as a 'Fast Road' car that would be exciting to drive to local classic car shows and race meetings, with the option to perhaps compete in the future. The engine is powerful in standard format and easily tuneable, safety features could be updated if necessary and then comply with series regulations. Our vendor is now focused on other projects so this is a good opportunity to own a head-turning, topical Escort offered at a very realistic price point.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: ESCORT 1600 SPORTYear: 1980Chassis Number: BBATAC838850Registration Number: XWP 355WTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 50 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

One of 62 Park Ward-bodied right-hand drive Drophead Coupés from long-term ownership.Introduced in late 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their Silver Cloud and S-Type predecessors, although their performance was considerably enhanced by the arrival of the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. There were few significant changes to the running gear, although power-assisted steering was now standard and the manual gearbox had been dropped, Rolls-Royce's own 4-speed automatic transmission being the sole offering. The Continental version of the Bentley remained, as ever, exclusively a coachbuilt car. The firms of H J Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young all offered bodies on the Continental S2 chassis, which differed from the standard version by virtue of its four-leading-shoe front brakes, shorter radiator and, in later cars, higher gearing. James Young would soon cease coachbuilding, leaving only Rolls-Royce-owned Mulliner and Park Ward to carry on a noble tradition, with Park Ward building the S2 Continental Drophead Coupés and Mulliner the saloons.The history file documents lots of lavished attention on this venerable Bentley in later years, however its very early history is, as yet, unknown. In the file, there is an early MOT Certificate from April 1978, and many invoices addressed to a Mr Warriner of Kent by James Young of Bromley in Kent. Subsequently, it would appear the car’s owner relocated, as there is an invoice for an almost entire strip down by a garage in Newtown, Powys dated 1980 but nothing more until 1984, when the photographic file shows it in a stripped condition located in Shropshire, presumably lost to the sands of time or hiding in a barn somewhere.Fortunately, it was discovered by its next owner, Stewart John, around this time. He was the Director of Engineering for the Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airlines and was on holiday in the UK with one eye open for a project and this S2 was certainly that. The Bentley was duly acquired and exported on 11th September 1984, bearing the plate 26 HYW, and there are a number of photographs in the file showing the car being loaded here and unloaded in Hong Kong. Additionally, within the file are lots of supporting invoices showing the acquisition of parts and materials, flywheels, hood parts, hooding, West German Leather etc., all sent to an address in the city district of HK. Associated Engineering Limited were tasked with carrying out a full restoration and they worked on the car over a period of 18 months during 1985 and 1986, supported by correspondence and invoices in the file. The results were pretty impressive, and there is evidence that when it was completed, it won the Concours d’Elegance at one of HK’s major classic car shows.On a separate note, there is a letter to the Department of Transport by Mr John, asking that the registration of this car and another in his ownership, have their numbers retained on the basis that he intends to return both cars to the UK at some point in the future.At this point in the story, 26 HWY was acquired by our late vendor, who lived in Hong Kong in December 1993, at a price of £36,500, with its insured value at the time being $400,000 HK. It had been seven years since the restoration so he lavished some time and money on the car during its last eighteen months in Hong Kong, before returning, via Australia, with the Bentley to the UK in October 1995. Since being back here, the car has been attended to by recognised Rolls and Bentley specialists, with many invoices showing standard MOT and service work as well as recent expenditure on minor cosmetic paintwork, re-Connollised leather and minor detailing at a cost of over £12,000 in 2017 and 2018. Indeed, the MOT history shows the car having been tested every year since 2006 until its most recent expiry in 2021, with the mileage increasing by only a few miles each time.Ready for a sympathetic recommissioning, we believe that 26 HWY has been parked for around two years in recent times and, whilst it has had a new battery fitted and starts first time, it would seem sensible that a new owner would have the car properly inspected and prepared ready for the summer, when in its distinctive hue and with its glamorous, globe-trotting back-story, it will undoubtedly be welcomed at many garden parties, gatherings, club events and more.As one of very few Convertibles on the market currently and with many standard Coupés available at well over £100,000, our vendor has rightly chosen to bring this remarkable car to the market at auction to allow the world to decide just how special this car is.SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: S2 CONTINENTALYear: 1961Chassis Number: BC25CZRegistration Number: 26 HYWTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: P3961Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Fabulous, fresh, classic Alfa Romeo 105 Coupé. Once a competitive race car, now presented in fast-road specification and absolutely on-the-button.Offered for auction is this beautifully-constructed Alfa Romeo 105 Coupe presented in fresh Alfa Rosso paintwork. The Alfa was converted to full-race specification in the 2000s and successfully circuit raced in South Africa, winning the Western Cape Classic Car class in 2013 and 2014. The specification included:  balanced 2-litre Nord engine with fast-road cams (Group One cam lift), custom exhaust system, upgraded oil cooler, bespoke aluminium radiator, Watts linkage rose-jointed rear suspension, camber adjustable front suspension, bespoke front anti-roll bar with rose-jointed drop links, 4-pot performance front brakes, 4.3 LSD differential, light/weight doors and boot lid and a stripped interior with a six-point roll cage. Proven as an extremely competitive car and running under a FIA Historic Passport which has since expired.Imported to the UK in 2017, the Alfa racer has since been subject to a rolling restoration including numerous new parts from Classic Alfa and Alfaholics with invoices in the history file. Work carried out included an overhaul of the suspension components and bodyshell repairs where required. New items fitted include; genuine Weber twin-40DCOEs, a pair of red Cobra Monaco Pro bucket seats (in date), electronic ignition unit and plug leads, headlamps, tail lamps, sidelights, lightweight bonnet, GTA alloy wheels with Michelin tyres, clutch master cylinder, Bosch blue coil, adjustable front top-arms, yellow Koni dampers all round, Lemforder ball-joints and a new windscreen and seals.The car shows as Historic status on its V5C and is therefore MOT and Road Tax exempt, however is presented to the sale with a new MOT for peace of mind. The private registration number will not form part of the sale with a new V5C to follow.In December 2022, the Alfa benefitted from significant investment with a renowned specialist who carried out a full health check including setting up the Weber carbs, engine timing and adjusting the suspension to 'fast road' specification. Finally, so that the little race car presented as well as it performs, the workshop carried out a full professional respray in period-correct Alfa Rosso.In summary, this is a handsome, high-performance classic Alfa Romeo that could be driven to Sunday breakfast runs or with some safety equipment updates could once again be a competitive race car. Goodwood beckons either way?SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: GT JUNIORYear: 1976Chassis Number: AR115050001968Registration Number: TBATransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 47500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A rarely discovered and refreshingly original F2 - Magna featuring a spritely six-cylinder engine, sporting short chassis and pretty two-seater bodywork. Believed to be one of 14 remaining from the 41 F2s originally manufactured.The F-Type Magna range was only produced between 1931 and 1932 and was created to fill the evident gap that existed between the very affordable M-Type Midget and the more expensive 18/80 range of cars. It was effectively a six-cylinder, longer wheelbase version of the four-cylinder D-Type launched at the same time, and featured a newly designed, riveted steel chassis with sliding trunnion suspension, underslung rear axle and centre-lock wire wheels. Though supposedly new, the engine was in fact an extended version of the Wolseley Hornet unit, but equipped with dummy side covers in order to appear to be a fresh design. Its power output was 37.2bhp fed to the rear wheels through a straight-cut ENV gearbox. With the top down the two-seat F2 was capable of 72mph-plus, rather impressive for the period.Offered for auction at Race Retro is this beautiful F-Type Magna, Chassis #F1446, first registered in the UK in 1932. Fresh to market for the first time in 35 years, ‘NJ 447’ is only available as part of a deceased estate and once formed part of an eclectic collection of landmark classics from around the world.The late owner, a gentleman and successful businessman, travelled the world for both work and pleasure and, as a lifelong motoring enthusiast, would often discover an interesting motorcar and add it to the Collection. This F2 was discovered on the South Coast of England and is understood to have been purchased directly from the original lady owner back in the late 1980s. Today, this lovely example appears to retain many original features with stamped parts matching the chassis number on the chassis rails and numbers on the panels including the bonnet hinge and the engine number, which appears to match the number on the chassis plate.On test, the engine fired into life on-the-button and sounded good, the steering was pin-sharp, selecting a gear was like loading a Winchester rifle and the brakes worked relatively well. The body appears solid and the interior presents nicely. The MG is accompanied by an interesting history file which includes the V5C ready for a change of keeper.The late owner’s family have fond memories of learning to drive in this fabulous pre-war classic British sports car and, although it has been used sparingly over recent years, it's always been well maintained. Opportunities to own an F2 rarely present themselves as very few remain, this example is understood to be one of only 14 six-cylinder two-seaters from the 41 originally built.A lovely and refreshingly original example offering access to many VSCC events, a handsome pre-war sports car that would once again make an excellent addition to another collection of landmark classics.SpecificationMake: MGModel: F2 MAGNAYear: 1932Chassis Number: F1446Registration Number: NJ 477Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 857 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Just two owners from new, with single ownership for over 20 years and covering just 734 miles from new.  Amazingly, the car has been serviced, MOT'd and cared for every year of its life, and recently was treated to a five-layer ceramic coating, including the underside. Truly outstanding.After 41 years and with the end in sight, Rover decided to mark the classic Mini’s long life with a penultimate limited-edition prior to the arrival of BMW’s new ‘MINI’. Following the popularity of the ‘Sport Pack’ Minis offered from 1997-2000, it was to be known as the “Mini Cooper Sport” and some 2,200 (1,000 RHD) were built between March and October 2000. They were a totally separate model and externally they could be distinguished by their muscular stance with flared wheel arches and 13" sports alloy wheels, four spot lamps and Platinum-coloured roof and bonnet stripes. The 'Sport' also featured an updated interior with stylish nickel-silver and black leather trim, drilled and polished alloy door and window handles, and a Sport dash in turned alloy silver and black finish.This remarkable example has a lovely, wholesome story behind it and couldn’t be presented in better order for its first time coming to public sale. Originally registered on 05/09/2000, this pretty Sport, one of 267 finished in British Racing Green, has covered just 734 miles from new with 370 of those miles being added in the last two years. Unlike the vast majority of very low mileage cars, this Mini has been taxed, insured, MOT’d and serviced every single year of its life without fail, regardless of mileage. Once it had received a service and MOT, it went straight back into its single heated garage.The car was the pride and joy of our vendor’s cousin who bought it new and evidently cherished it like no other. She kept the Mini until her passing in 2020 at which point a family member purchased the car from the estate, maintaining it’s single family ownership from new.The history file features a selection of old tax discs and MOTs, the original purchase invoices, its original book pack and associated books, a comprehensive and a chronological work history report from Bailey Automotive who serviced and MOT’d the car every year in our vendors ownership. To preserve the outstanding originality of the car, New Look Detailing were commissioned to carry out a meticulous five-stage ceramic coating to the entire car, including the underside, in order to future-proof its perfection.With a history of caring ownership, the tiny mileage and in stunning condition, this fabulous little Mini Cooper Sport will be right at home in any collection of rare Minis or at the home of any Mini enthusiast. SpecificationMake: MINIModel: COOPER SPORTYear: 2000Chassis Number: SAXXNPAZEYD183642Registration Number: X351 NBJTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 12A2LK70395781Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 734 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black and Grey LeatherClick here for more details and images

Fabulous, post-facelift Cosworth RS from single 30-year ownership, with 10,730 warranted miles and a comprehensive service history.In January 1990, the third generation Sierra RS Cosworth was launched, this time with four-wheel drive. As early as 1987, Mike Moreton and Ford Motorsport had been talking about a four-wheel-drive Sierra RS Cosworth that could give Ford a competitive edge in the World Rally Championship, however Ford Motorsport's desire for a three-door Motorsport Special equivalent to the original Sierra RS Cosworth was not embraced. The more discreet four-door version was considered to have better marketing potential and it was therefore decided that the new car should be a natural development of the second generation, to be introduced in conjunction with the facelift scheduled for the entire Sierra line in 1990. Launched to huge acclaim with the full title of Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4, the new car was aimed at the family man who wanted practicality and performance.This fabulous example is being offered to auction by our vendor who placed an order for this stunning RS Cosworth from Haynes of Maidstone in December 1990. He had been thinking about buying a Sapphire RS Cosworth for a while and was galvanised into action when the 'facelift' cars with the revised fascia, smoked light lenses and attractive new alloys started to become available. As it transpired, he only had to wait a few days as a 'facelift' 1991 M/Y car became available through the network. He took delivery a week later, with the only dealer extra fitted being the strut-brace offered by RS Dealers, Haynes of Maidstone, who ran a Rallye Sport Centre and are best known for supporting John Taylor’s rallying RS1800 in the 1970s.Our vendor, the car's only owner, has undoubtedly been diligent when it came to servicing and maintenance with the service records showing ten service stamps, all by Haynes, neatly punctuating the incredibly low mileage of just 10,727. There is a stamp recording a cambelt service at 10,492 miles, only 235 miles ago but some years ago on 21st November 2022, we understand that it had a service belt change, all fluids, HT leads, Iridium plugs and a couple of fuel pipes, carried out by Smarden Classic Services. Testament to his care is that the car is in exactly the condition you would hope to own without over-detailing with product, proper garaging and never seeing any wet conditions. It's supplied with all its manuals, an original sales brochure and even the Haynes complimentary duster (unused). The spare wheel is unused and still retains the OE-fit Bridgestone tyres all round.Finished in gleaming black with an unmarked interior and a superb engine bay, this lovely RS 4x4 is undoubtedly of collector quality and still showroom fresh with a level of originality that’s increasingly hard to find.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: SIERRAYear: 1990Chassis Number: WF0FXXGBBFLB28827Registration Number: H405 VKUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: LB28827 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 10727 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Fully restored, discerningly upgraded, and routinely serviced; a bespoke Mk2 for fast-road driving and touring.The car presented here is a 1962 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-litre, originally delivered to Stockholm, Sweden. The car remained in Sweden and eventually found its way to the workshop of well-regarded Swedish Jaguar specialist, Bertil Backstrom, famed for his restorations and bespoke commissions of Jaguar cars. Back in 2008, our long-time classic car enthusiast vendor was on a road-trip which took him through this particular Swedish town when he noticed numerous classic cars, prompting him to make enquiries and follow the throng. He made the acquaintance of Bertil and was highly impressed with his work and approach to getting the best out of 1960s Jaguars. Thus, our vendor commissioned this car exactingly – benefitting from a full ground-up restoration, a completely rebuilt ‘hot’ 3.8-litre engine, a modern 5-speed Getrag gearbox (from M&C Wilkinson Ltd.), Coopercraft brakes (from David Manners), rear axle and suspension (from Vicarage), race-quality KONI dampers (from David Manners), and PAS (from M&C Wilkinson Ltd.) etc. There are lots of photographs of its restoration, a JDHT CoA and a large history file documenting its upkeep and maintenance since 2008.Our vendor has really enjoyed this car, registering it in the UK, and using it between homes in London and Scotland, jaunts through Europe and on numerous rally events. He has covered some 7,500 miles in it, keeping a logbook of mileage and servicing, saying “It's a comfortable car, really quite quick and stable, an absolute joy to drive”. The car has always been garage-stored and maintained by Jaguar specialist Marcus Barclay, ensuring it was always ‘match fit’ and ready for use. Our fastidious vendor is very particular about his small collection of cars - one very special Mercedes-Benz example he inherited from his father and has driven it around the world - a point made to emphasise that the commissioning and ownership of this Mk2 has been of the highest order, by a knowledgeable and dedicated owner, and these qualities are reflected in the car.This is a classic car that is not claiming to be original but simply applies the classic car experience to modern driving/usage – a ‘best-of-both-worlds’ scenario. It has all the enhancements that build on the inherent Mk2 3.8 qualities, just making it faster, more reliable, more comfortable, safer and able to tour with ease. A great opportunity to acquire a very competent classic Jaguar.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK2 3.8-LITRE SALOONYear: 1962Chassis Number: 220733BWRegistration Number: 217 XUPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: LC6531-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: TanClick here for more details and images

Mechanicals   The Rover fires into life and the six-cylinder engine is silky smooth and sounds very good indeed with no undue noises or rattles. Driving around our yard the P4 ran well, stopping in a straight line with sharp brakes, supple suspension and smooth gear changes. History There is very little paperwork with the car apart from a V5c, old MOT certificate and an invoice from 2016 detailing the recommissioning work to the value of £2469.89. Our Opinion  These cars are hugely undervalued and are an inexpensive route to the fabulous world of classic luxury motoring. The Rover is in delightful patinated condition which means it can be used without fear of damage. These cars are easy to maintain, spares readily available and supported by the excellent Rover Sports register car club.                

1993 Rover Mini Mayfair 1275cc automatic 2 door saloon Only 2 former keepers and recent works completed to the value of circa £3000 Registration:  L862 KVO Chassis: SAXXNWADKBD073612 Odometer: 55,000 Transmission:  Automatic  MOT: This will have a fresh MOT upon collection  No Reserve   .Offered in original factory specification  . One ownership for 22 years and 10 years in storage 2006 to   . Correct Rover audio equipment   . Recent new head gasket, tyres, brakes, exhaust, water pump along with a comprehensive service   . Supplied with a selection of invoices, jack, wheel brace and spare wheel  Outside  Finished in the original colour of red with standard wheels and exterior trim.  The paintwork appears to be largely original though the bonnet is a slightly darker shade of red than the rest of the car. There is some light surface rust to both front wings around the seams and it has been touched in at some point. There are some light blisters on both doors and the rear offside quarter panel just above the sill line. The chrome work is without any issues and the overall appearance is one of an very original car. Inside  Standard factory cloth interior with correct Mayfair wooden dashboard that has no cracks or blemishes. The seats, carpets and headlining are without any damage and show very little signs of wear. There is however a very small mark on the driver’s door panel around the door handle area. Mechanicals The Mini starts readily on the key and the engine runs very sweetly. There is however a small blow on the manifold which will need correcting. On the road it performs well with the automatic gearbox changing up and down without issue. The brakes are very effective and there and no rattles or squeaks from the suspension units. History  The history file comprises of various invoices and receipts whilst in the current ownership since 2019. The bills on file amount to circa £3000 which cover works to the subframe, exhaust, tyres, engine and steering, the last works carried out in August 2022. Our Opinion A rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage Mini that remains largely as it left the factory. After the period of storage, it has been recommissioned and all the important works attended to. There is a real charm to any classic mini and this being one of the last models that was not fuel injected adds to the appeal. A great car for the classic shows or just to use and enjoy.
