Lot 1001
A classic motor car. An AC Buckland Sports Tourer, GFY707, manufactured 1949. The vehicle recently passed it MOT although not required. It's not clear how many of these cars were built as there are no factory records, but it's estimated that about 80 cars were built from 1949-53. We do know from the AC owners club that this car was the 6th built. The Buckland shared all of its running gear with the 2 litre saloon from the six cylinder triple carb, overhead camshaft AC engine, Moss gearbox to the ENV rear axle. Registered on the 1st January 1950 in Southport little is known about the cars history, however from 1969 to date the car has history. The car was purchased by the vendor in 2014 as a restoration project having been off the road for decades. A complete documented nut and bolt restoration followed which included chassis, bodywork, interior and all the mechanics. Finished in Opaline/British Racing Green with cream leather interior. The thousands spent on the vehicle show in the now showroom condition you see it in today. The car has only covered 350 miles since the restoration. There are also some spares with the car and a memory stick containing a fully documented photograph album of the restoration from being dragged into the workshop to what we see today.

1991 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce S4 Transmission: automaticMileage:784The Spider designation for the open top sports cars originates from the word, speeder, and a two-person open horse carriage. The Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Spider was produced from 1966 to 1993, remaining in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. Widely regarded as a design classic, this fourth series version of production came with further mechanical and cosmetic changes. Mechanical changes saw the introduction of the Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection with an electric fan and cosmetically, losing its front under bumper spoiler and the rear boot spoiler picking up 164-style rear lights stretching across the width of the car together with colour coordinated plastic bumpers.This lovely right hand drive example is presented in dark green with beige leather/alcantara interior and its black hood is also in very good condition. Its lively 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine is mated to an automatic gearbox and the owner has had the wheels refurbished with new wheel centres and it also comes with power assisted steering. Within the substantial history file, it is documented that the speedometer was changed at 10,602 miles and once again at 34,000 miles. As well as various invoices and old MoT test certificates, it comes with its service/maintenance schedule booklets within its original Alfa Romeo wallet. Offered at no reserve, this sharp looking classic Alfa Romeo represents fantastic value for money. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1999 Volvo S90 Royal Long Wheelbase Transmission: automaticMileage:51500The Volvo 900 Series is a range of executive cars produced by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo Cars from 1990 to 1999. The 900 Series was introduced in 1990 to replace the 700 Series from which it derived. Prior to the end of its production, the 960 was renamed as the Volvo S90 (saloon) and Volvo V90 (estate), and the 940 was renamed 940 Classic, becoming the last rear wheel drive cars from Volvo. In 1994 for the 1995 model year the 960 received a facelift, including changes to the grille and body-coloured panels. A smaller 2.5 version of the six-cylinder was also added to the line-up, with 170 or 163bhp for the B6244FS version.The S90 Executive Royal featured a longer wheelbase and a centre console for the rear passengers, it is believed that 1100 were coachbuilt by the Volvo factory, 15cm longer than the standard model and with the 2.9 litre engine coupled to a smooth automatic gearbox and 17” Volvo Canopus wheels.This extremely well presented S90 Royal is offered in near unmarked silver coachwork with beige leather trim which has clearly had a very easy life, barely showing the 51,000 miles for which it has been sat in. Imported back from Japan in 2020, this was defined as a grade four example upon export and is indeed in impressive order. These cars were coachbuilt as a long wheelbase option and are as rare as hens’ teeth. This example boasts an MoT test certificate until August 2021, a UK V5 registration document and we are led to believe this may have been a diplomatic vehicle when in Japan. Built to last, in fabulous condition and good enough for diplomats, this is an ultra-rare example of the Volvo S90.Guide Price £6,000 - £10,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 124
2006 Caterham SV Roadsport Transmission: manualMileage:5397Caterham Cars is a manufacturer of specialist lightweight sports cars and is a direct evolution of the Series III Lotus Seven designed by Colin Chapman originally launched in 1973. Caterham had been a major Lotus Seven dealer during the 1960's and its founder, Graham Nearn, purchased the rights to continue manufacture of the Seven design after Lotus announced its intention to discontinue the model. The Lotus/Caterham Seven is widely regarded by car enthusiasts and the media as one of the most precise handling sports cars ever, with 2007 marking the 50th year of continuous production. As with its Lotus Seven predecessor, Caterhams are constructed of aluminium sheet attached to a tubular steel chassis and all are front engined with rear-wheel drive and two seats. Their extremely high performance is achieved through being lightweight and well balanced rather than from having particularly powerful engines.Ordered in March 2006 and first registered that June, this beautiful Caterham Seven offers a perfect compromise of performance and practicality. The SV Roadsport sporting the wider chassis makes for a much more comfortable experience, especially on longer journeys. With this in mind the car was specified new not only as an SV, but also with leather adjustable seats, both inertia and 4-point harness seatbelts, a heater, side screen arm rests and a quick release leather steering wheel. Other practical options include a rear roll cage, spare wheel, cigar lighter, starter button, tonneau cover, full weather equipment, five-speed gearbox and unusually, an uprated 1.8 litres X-Power engine with an additional 20 HP pushing power output to 140 HP. The vendor reports that this factory built example drives superbly and is a reluctant sale. The specification of this lovely little Caterham lends itself perfectly to day trips as well as tours and trackdays, performing equally well for each function.Supplied with the car’s original order sheet and factory correspondence, original book pack, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates, many receipts and two keys. This Seven offers huge fun whilst keeping practicality in mind. You would certainly be hard pushed to find a better presented and useable example of this Chapman design classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

Lot 137
1961 Triumph TR4 Transmission: manualMileage:76185Produced between 1961 and 1967, the TR4 combined a new, modern and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation and an optional hardtop. The 2138cc engine of the late production TR3A continued while the 1991cc engine was also made available to buyers who wanted to participate in two litre racing. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Today, the four-cylinder TR's are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialists.This TR4 was one of the many exported to the US and was repatriated to the UK in 2016. Clearly she has benefitted from time and investment as this example presents in good order and is in the lovely colour combination of red with black interior. Still in left hand drive guise, this Triumph sits proudly on Minilite wheels. We are advised she drives well with no known faults. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this stylish Triumph TR4 is a sure way to enjoy the summer months ahead.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

Lot 139
1988 BMW 635 CSi Highline Transmission: automaticMileage:69000Successor to the race proven E9 3.0CS/CSi, the BMW 6-Series was introduced in August 1976, it utilised a modified version of the 5-Series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-Series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi's 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque propelling it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph.This example of one of the 80’s most iconic sports cars is presented in lovely deep Royal Blue coachwork with contrasting sumptuous Highline specification grey leather trim. Boasting remarkably low mileage for a car that is so accustomed to gobbling up the miles, this example is offered in fabulous order with, at the time of viewing, the vendor stating that all electrical buttons are working correctly. Owned by BMW enthusiasts, the history file provides comprehensive evidence of continued maintenance and expenditure including new brake discs and pads in 2019 and, after which, the underside of the car was cleaned and checked and Dinitrol undersealing was applied to preserve the car for the future. Also present in the history file is every MoT test certificate from 1991 and the original book pack which details the supplying dealer, L.J.K Garages in Ilford, Essex who registered the car in June 1988. A copy of the original build sheet shows that this example was heavily specified with extras including limited-slip differential, sports seats, heated mirrors, electric sunroof, air conditioning, M-Tech steering wheel and rear window blind to mention a few. L.J.K, the supplying dealer serviced the car ten times from new and since then a comprehensive record of services from specialists coupled to enthusiast owner’s maintenance has been recorded. Offered with an MoT test certificate until January 2022 and with the original set of TRX alloys and tyres, this is an example of a great appreciating classic in very good condition with viewing highly recommended.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper Mk. I (998cc) Transmission: manualMileage:6179These fabulous and popular little cars were designed in 1959 and were heralded as a new concept in car design. Little did they know or envisage what would become of these great models. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini' soon became popular across the world and to all types of individual well healed or not! The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; he eventually persuaded BMC and the two worked together culminating in the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from the, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963.This lovely example of this British classic is presented in Island Blue with an Old English White roof and was recently the subject to some extensive works to the body by Old School Mini. The very nice interior is finished in period correct Cumulous Grey with Gold Brocade and the wheels have just been refurbished with new tyres fitted all round. Its 998cc engine was modified in 2018 using a 1100 crankshaft and it is supplied with its Heritage Certificate confirming the colour, engine and chassis numbers. This is an extremely desirable little Mini Cooper offered in good condition throughout.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 145
2006 Porsche 911 / 997 Carrera 4S Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:84285The 997 is dripping with technology. The Carrera S had the new Porsche Active Suspension Management as standard with both Carrera and non-Carrera benefitting from variable-ratio steering and Porsche stability management. Safety was further enhanced by the addition of four-wheel drive, a useful addition when you are channelling that much power through to the tarmac from the larger S-spec engine. Additionally, there was also the Sport Chrono Package offering a dash-mounted stopwatch which, as Octane put it, “tautened the throttle and suspension damping while loosening the PSM’s rein.”First registered on 26th April 2006, this wonderful Carrera 4S offers the perfect blend of sports car excitement with everyday practicality. Whether the top is up or down, flying down country lanes or visiting the local supermarket, the 4S does it all effortlessly and commands the respect of car lovers everywhere who recognise the Porsche ‘S’ models as the connoisseur’s choice. Looking fabulous in their wide body format and sporting 19” Carrera Sport wheels, these cars really hit the sweet spot of the 911 range. Desirable options on this particular car include 2-way electric leather seats in the front as well as leather rear seats, dashboard and door panels. Other benefits include steering wheel mounted Tiptronic gear change buttons and a full European satellite navigation system. The car boasts a full service history with most of the work carried out either by Porsche main agents or specialist garages including respected Porsche specialist JZM in Hertfordshire since 2014, with Langley Autocraft replacing a rear tyre and cleaning and wax oiling the bottom of the car more recently in January, demonstrating the level of care given to the car. The vendor reports that this Porsche drives faultlessly and he will be sorry to see it go, but no longer uses it enough.Supplied with a stamped service history, original book pack, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates, many receipts, two keys and a Tracker. With 355 HP to play with and Porsche build quality, you can have the best of all worlds in this iconic future classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 155
1959 Sunbeam Rapier Competition Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:94697The Sunbeam Rapier Series II was announced on 6th February 1958, available in hardtop and convertible formats. Rootes arranged for nine of the new cars to be in Monte Carlo for the press to try at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally. An improvement in the Series II was its more powerful engine, referred to as the Rallymaster, which had an increased capacity of 1,494 cc combined with a higher compression ratio and larger inlet and exhaust valves to raise the power to 73 bhp. Autocar quoted the top speed as 91 mph with a 0-60 mph time of 20.2 seconds. As a direct result of competition experience, the Series II was also fitted with larger front brakes and a recirculating ball steering box instead of the worm and nut box of the Series I. When new, the Sunbeam Rapier posted notable rallying results, supported by the Rootes Competition Department. And, more than half a century later, Rapiers are still notching up successful results in the ever-popular classic rallying movement.This 1959 Rapier Coupé was fully restored in 2019 and, with notable success from being an eight-time Historic Monte Carlo Rally finisher, offers a cost-effective route into historic rallying indeed having recently completed Hero Challenge rallies, including on and off-road tests, with the vendor reporting that it performed superbly. We are informed the bodywork with its cream and turquoise paint is in very good order as is the running gear. The interior is also in fine order; likewise the under-bonnet area with what is described by the vendor as an excellent electrical system, and the engine which starts and runs well. In preparation for recent events the vendor has added two new spare tyres, battery cover, covered the internal brake bias and added rear seats for regularity and installed a compliant Brantz trip meter. Supplied with a very good history file (complete with older FIA papers) this Rapier is ready to continue its rallying career and hopefully bag the new owner a few more trophies in the process - fabulous value indeed and in the right hands, this is a very capable car. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.
Lot 162
1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster ‘Fast road’ Transmission: manualMileage:30ne of the unassailable leaders in the XK field is Guy Broad. Indeed, any car with a service history or works undertaken by this company will certainly command a premium. It is little surprise that this company his formed part of the development of this car these cars over the years and significant paperwork exist here to support works undertaken. The Malcolm Sayer-designed body panels complemented by the glorious, race-proven, six-cylinder power plant form a glorious Symphony when driven on the open road and XKs were often taken to the next level by their owners looking for that extra performance and the look and feel of their racing siblings.This example has been taken back to bare metal, as you would expect from a restoration of this calibre and repainted in Royal Blue with a contrasting red and tan leather interior, a black mohair hood and complementary weather equipment. The bonnet benefits from additional cooling in the form of louvres pressed expertly into the panel. The original competition racing XK120 ‘NOB 120’ had 12 louvres before the bonnets stiffener and 15 after all held down by the classic leather bonnet strap. It is satisfying to note therefore that this example has being replicated to the exact same specification. Lighting takes the form, as you would expect with standard headlamps but with the addition of rally spotlights.Under the skin, the engine and gearbox (now five-speed) has been taken apart by our friends at Guy Broad, rebuilt with an automatic choke and 2” twin SU carburettors set-up by Alto at A.J. Coachworks and then fitted with an aluminium radiator, installed to assist cooling.Great consideration has gone into the comfort and usability of this motorcar to the extent that the footwell on both sides had been extended by 6” into the bulkhead to accommodate those slightly taller drivers and their passengers. In addition, the two 6V battery boxes in the boot have been combined freeing up one battery box to be upholstered throughout for valuables etc.To finish, a Le Mans style fuel filler cap can be found to the rear and this beautifully-built roadster now sits on 16” chrome wire wheels and new tyres. 8bhp has been added to the power output by the fitting of big bore, stainless steel exhaust and stainless-steel fittings throughout. A superb example well put together and embodying much of the thinking behind the racing cars of yesteryear.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions. Interested parties should be advised that this is a September 1952 built Jaguar and has been converted from left to right hand drive. Also, according to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate, it no longer carries the original engine. It should be noted however that it is still an XK120 engine and so performance will remain unaltered.
Lot 173
1997 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph Transmission: automaticMileage:40418The Geneva Motor Show of 1998 saw the launch of the all new Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. This new model was hand built at the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe. It replaced the Silver Spur which ended production in 1997. The car had a base price of £155,175 in the U.K. and was powered by a 5.4 litre, aluminium alloy BMW V12 engine, making it the first twelve cylinder Rolls-Royce since the 1939 Phantom III. This well equipped Rolls-Royce was fitted with adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes and shared a platform and bodyshell with its contemporary; the Bentley Arnage. In both cars the seats and dashboard were upholstered in Connolly leather with the door cappings and folding rear picnic trays finished in burr walnut veneer. The build quality of this new model was described as being the best Rolls-Royce to date.Originally registered on 19th December 1997, this Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph presents extremely well in the classic combination of Peacock Blue paintwork and magnolia Connolly leather. Arguably the most popular colour combination for this model. The inside of this great car greets with an abundance of woodwork and exceedingly comfortable seats. The smooth 5379cc, V12 engine offers brisk performance. As one of the last Rolls-Royce models to be built at the spiritual home of the brand these cars are becoming recognised by collectors and enthusiasts as fine investments. There is a good service history with this impressive car with the most recent work being undertaken in late 2020. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until September 2021, this splendid, low mileage example represents fantastic value and is offered at a fraction of its original cost.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Lot 177
1956 Citroën 2CV Van Transmission: manualMileage:Ranking alongside the Volkswagen Beetle, Mini and Land Rover as one of the classic mass-produced cars of the post-war era, Citroën's quirky 2CV debuted in 1949. Intended to provide basic transport in a period of post-war austerity, the 2CV outlived its humble beginnings, going on to attain cult status as the favoured car of the environmentally concerned motorist. Although the original 375cc air-cooled flat-twin engine grew, eventually, to 602cc, the 2CV's performance remained modest at around 70mph flat-out, not that that concerned the majority of its devotees for whom the roomy interior, full-length sunroof and frugal fuel consumption were of far greater importance. The 2CV was built in civilian, military and commercial versions, the latter - a small delivery van - being known as the 'Fourgonette', which was first seen in 1951. By the time production ceased in 1990 more than 5 million 2CVs of all types had been made.This left hand drive example of this iconic French model is presented in the state in which it was found in a barn in 2006 in France. The car was then imported to the UK when the body was then removed from the chassis. The floors and sills were replaced together with a new bulkhead and toe board – which are the parts that normally rot on these vehicles. The body was then refitted to the sound, original chassis and the body was left exactly as it was. The engine is running but the car is currently SORN however it does come with a V5 registration document. A fun potential commercial vehicle or just to potter around in but we suggest an element of recommissioning would be a good idea.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1932 Austin 7 Gordon England Special Transmission: manualMileage:8324The Austin 7 is an economy car that was produced from 1923 until 1939 in the UK. It was nicknamed the ‘baby Austin’ and was, at that time, one of the most popular cars produced for the British market and also sold well abroad. Its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the US.Herbert Austin's son-in-law, Arthur Waite, soon began to achieve remarkable sporting successes beginning at Brooklands in March 1923 and the next month at Monza. Another driver, E C Gordon England, persuaded Sir Herbert to provide him with a racing 7. Waite and Lou Kings (chief tester) then experienced a run of failure brought about by inadequate engine lubrication for racing conditions. Meanwhile, Gordon England, flushed with success from establishing six new class records at Brooklands, had built a special lightweight two-seater body weighing just 20lb and entered it in the 1100cc class for the Junior Car Club 200 mile race at Brooklands in October 1923. There Gordon England finished in second place and during the race won another five class records. Austin 7s were rebuilt as ‘specials’ after the Second World War, including the first race car built by Bruce McLaren, and the first Lotus, the Mk I. Companies such as Speedex in Luton thrived in the late 1950s by producing race-proven bodies and engine parts for the Seven chassis. The ‘Specials’ were more commonly used latterly as ‘mud pluggers’ in hillclimbing.This lovely little British classic is presented in the traditional blue vinyl body covering with grey wheel arches/runner boards and natural aluminium bonnet cover. It has a black interior and black hood, both of which are in good condition and has just had its wheels refurbished at vast expense, including new inner tubes fitted. It is powered by a lively 747cc four-cylinder engine mated to a three speed manual gearbox and is on the button! These are rare cars and certainly one in this condition should not be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1965 AC Cobra Mk. III 427 SC Transmission: manualMileage:3011It was Carroll Shelby who was first to utilise the American V8 power unit, after racing in Europe in the late 1950s, he realised that a combination of a lightweight American V8 engine and a proven European chassis was a winning combination. He found that a Ford V8 installed in the chassis of an AC Ace was the answer, and thus birthing the Cobra. The car set new standards of performance for road cars and was highly effective in competition. The early cars featured a smaller capacity 260cu engine, which was later enlarged to 289cu. When fitted with ever more powerful engines, the cars’ chassis capabilities were stretched to the limit and Shelby approached Ford to take their concept a stage further.The old adage, 'Win on Sunday, sell on Monday' became a reality for Ford. Together with Shelby they were able to create a new chassis which had an entirely new frame, dubbed Mk. III, with all-independent suspension by coil springs and double wishbones. Clothing this new frame was virtually the same bodywork as the concurrent 427 ‘big block’ Cobra, which also shared a similar chassis design. This final flowering of the 289 model received the 4,727cc Ford V8 engine which produced 271bhp with a top speed of 138mph but of more importance was its 5.5 second 0-60mph sprint, very few cars in the world could match that in the 1960s. Just 27 examples of the Mk. III were built, making this the rarest series manufactured Cobra variant before production ended altogether at the end of 1968.COX6136 is one of very few examples originally supplied to the Unites States by Ford/AC Rep, Dave Wagner (The COX prefix denotes export). These examples were delivered without a powertrain and completed on arrival in the US. This example was completed by one of the world’s leading Cobra restorers, Bill Kemper who mimicked the well-known competition Cobra, CSX3018. The power unit fitted was a 1965 C5AE-H side oiler NASCAR engine with steel medium riser heads, coupled to a top loader close ratio four speed transmission. Also fitted was a 42 gallon S/C fuel tank and a correct 427 S/C interior. Finished in its original Guardsman Blue paintwork with a black roll-bar and black S/C side pipes, COX6136 shows a mere 3,011 miles on the odometer and comes complete with a sizeable history file. The history is recorded by the Shelby American World Registry and it has featured in several books, notably Trevor Legate's Classic Work on The Cobra. The Cobra comes complete with various sundry invoices, the current UK V5 Registration document and a tonneau cover.Offered by a prolific collector, the Cobra is reported to be in very good condition throughout and would enhance any serious collection. Very rarely do Mk. III Cobras come to the open market and even fewer are as good as this one.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:45700In 1963, Mercedes-Benz debuted an all-new roadster to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL - the 230 SL. The 230 SL 'Pagoda' was a stunning Paul Bracq designed two-seat convertible that followed Mercedes' new design language, featuring crisp lines and upright headlights. To save on weight, the bonnet, doorskins, boot lid, and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. In 1967, Mercedes introduced the third and final iteration of the 'Pagoda', the 280 SL, and it then became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with a rear swing axle and independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Power came from a 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. A charming model with capable handling and braking thanks to its suspension and all-wheel disc brakes. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed.This excellent, right hand drive, 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda has been subject to a two-year ground-up restoration by marque specialists Red Castle Classics based near Cardiff in South Wales. Since the restoration which was completed four years ago this car has only driven 350 miles. The first owner is unknown but from October 1978 it was owned by Mr. McMinn of Surbiton, he sold it in 1982 to Mr. Simon Peters who kept the car for many years until the car was sold, by his then widow, to Mr. Max Walker in July 2010 who shipped the car to his home in Jersey where he changed the colour from gold to metallic grey and upgraded the interior to black leather. This 280 SL returned to the mainland in 2012. Purchased by the current owner in April 2016 to join his small collection of SLs, he sent it directly for the restoration to be completed. It is believed the mileage of 45,700 miles is correct and is supported by old MoT test certificates which date back to 1982 at 18,240 miles and bills from June 1979 at 2,608 miles. Now superbly finished in the Mercedes-Benz classic colour scheme of silver with red leather interior, this 280 SL roadster is supplied with a matching factory hardtop, the desirable third seat option and a Becker Mexico radio from 1971. Supplied with the car is a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2021 and a file containing old MoT test certificates, sundry invoices including the invoice for the restoration at £80,000 plus VAT, the service book and the handbook. These Pagodas are always a pleasure to drive, particularly in good weather when the roof is down and the smooth six-cylinder engine can be enjoyed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 Litre) Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:83912Launched in 1959, the Jaguar Mk. II offered a noticeably improved driving experience over its predecessor courtesy of revised front suspension geometry, widened rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Improvements were achieved by increasing the cabin glass area by almost 20%, while narrower front and central body pillars gave the car a more refined appearance. The evergreen Jaguar XK engine was employed once again, with a 220bhp, 3.8 litre high-performance version as used in the Mk. IV saloon, this engine being used for the first time in a mid-range Jaguar saloon, in addition to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre engine options carried over from the Mk. I. With spirited 125mph performance, including a 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds, the 3.8 litre was immediately in demand and the manual gearbox equipped examples remain amongst the most desirable.This beautiful, well-loved and truly cherished Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 litre with a manual gearbox, power steering and wire wheels is one of the last right hand drive examples to be manufactured. Supplied new by New Zealand premier Jaguar dealers, Shorters Cars, in Auckland to its first owner, Mr. Harvey Hingston on 30th November 1967. This example was ordered new in deep gloss black with a tasteful oxblood red leather interior. In 1985, Mr. David Shorter acquired the car back and kept it for 25 years. The last owner, one of New Zealand’s largest classic car collectors, Mr. Grant Baker purchased it and in 2011 the car was sent to International Motorsport and over the next twelve mounts they did a complete restoration costing over NZ $110,000, repainting it in the original colour but retaining the very good red leather interior. This car was imported to the UK in 2016 and the new owner, Mr. John Rivers who spent over £2,500 on works which included replacing the power steering rack, alternator upgrade, manual choke and fitting electronic ignition. This Jaguar Mk. II is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in December 2021, a Heritage Certificate showing that it is a matching numbers car, the original handbook and a large file containing invoices going back to 1970, details of the 2011/12 restoration and invoices for the work carried out it the UK. This is without doubt one of the finest Mk. IIs offered to market in recent years and would rightfully deserve its place in any major Jaguar collection.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Honda NSX Transmission: automaticMileage:34772The Honda NSX was produced between 1990 and 2005 and is equipped with a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive layout powered by an all-aluminium V6 featuring Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system. In 1984, Honda commissioned the Italian car designer Pininfarina to design the HPX (Honda Pininfarina Experimental), which had a mid-mounted 2.0 litre, V6 configuration. Following Honda's decision to pursue the project, the management informed the engineers that the new car would have to be as good as anything coming from both Italy and Germany. The HPX concept car evolved into the NSX (New Sportscar experimental). The original performance target for the NSX was the Ferrari 328; subsequently revised to the 348 as the design neared completion. The bodywork design had been specifically researched after studying the 360° visibility inside an F-16 fighter jet. The car's strong chassis, rigidity and handling capabilities were the results of Ayrton Senna's input with NSX's chief engineers while testing the prototype car at Honda's Suzuka Circuit during the development stages. Today, the NSX is still considered by owners of the marque as one of the most reliable exotic cars ever manufactured with many examples comfortably exceeding 100,000 miles without serious reliability issues.This superb example is presented in black with a black leather and Alcantara interior which is in wonderful original condition. The car has covered only 34,772 Kms from new and is powered by the smooth 3.0 litre Honda engine which is mated to an automatic gearbox. The car was imported from Japan (as were many of these models) and has been lovingly looked after and lightly used ever since. It was purchased by the present owner in 2017 from a well-known garage in London. The car comes with its original Japanese history as well as a fully stamped service book from the UK and all MoT test certificates which confirms light and consistent use over the last few years. A recent service was carried out at a Honda main dealer which included a cambelt service. Its superb and totally relevant registration number is included with the car and it is fitted with a Global Telemetrics tracker which can be monitored via an app. This car is an appreciating classic that can be driven every day, without the problems associated with many classic sports cars. Equally capable of being driven from home to the shops on a Sunday morning, or a blast down to the South of France. The car has also recently undergone a meticulous and thorough detailing, which has resulted in it looking absolutely stunning throughout.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:41419Introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with its instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8 litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265 horsepower on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Mainly because it weighed around 500lb less than the XK150 but also, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car.Delivered new in 1963, this wonderful matching numbers example is finished in the very elegant colour combination of British Racing Green over a tan leather interior and comes complete with the desirable factory hardtop. Presented in its original left hand drive guise, this E-Type is fitted with an aluminium dashboard and centre console. Professionally restored by marque specialists it has undergone a full bare metal respray as well as a complete interior retrim, including a new hood and, consequently, presents fabulously. During the restoration, this Jaguar was treated to an engine, gearbox, and rear differential rebuild undertaken by Rushton Engineering Ltd and as such is in very good order throughout. This very well-presented example comes complete with a history file detailing the restoration, many sundry invoices and the current UK registration document. The perfect candidate for those long-distance continental tours or that summer trip to the south of France.

1922 Studebaker Light Six Tourer Transmission: manualMileage:Established as a buggy company before the Civil War, Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1904, building bodies for chassis supplied by Garford of Elyria, Ohio. By 1913, the company was building its own cars, beginning a tradition of well-built automobiles from South Bend, Indiana, that would continue for the next 51 years. By the time Studebaker moved to Canada in 1964, it was the country’s oldest automobile manufacturer and among the longest surviving car manufactures in the world. The Light Six was in production for seven years, with modern bodywork and styling making this a highly desirable vehicle to own. More than 200,000 were manufactured by Studebaker. This interesting Studebaker was stripped down to the bare chassis by a father and son. It was then fully rebuilt to a very good standard using either new or remanufactured parts. At the same time, a Morris Minor 1000 A-series engine was fitted together with an alternator. This modification means this Studebaker is very reliable and fun to drive. She has been wrapped in blue as the car was required for some film work; underneath the wrapping the colour is white. The blue wrap can easily be removed and the car could be a great edition to a wedding car company, particularly in view of the engine modification. This great looking American classic is UK registered, tax exempt and ready to enjoy immediately.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Ford Capri Mk. I 3000E Transmission: manualMileage:9865Inspired by the success of the Mustang ‘Pony Car’ in the USA, Ford introduced a new model in 1968 for the European market, the Capri, ‘the car you’ve always promised yourself’. The Capri’s imaginative fastback styling was a relatively new departure for Ford, but beneath the lovely body design it remained typically Ford, sharing engines, gearboxes and many other components with the rest of the Ford range. Engines available from the start of production in January 1969 consisted of Kent 1300cc and 1600cc inline four-cylinder units, soon followed by a Taunus two litre V4 and then from September 1969 a three litre Essex V6 engine for the Capri 3000 models, which were advertised as ‘the fastest production line cars ever sold by Ford in Britain’. Then there was a bewildering range of spec and trim levels from L to XLR, with the E the ‘Executive’ model, on offer. So, buyers needed to study the sales catalogue very carefully before placing an order.This lovely 1971 Ford Capri 3000E Mk. I was purchased by the current owner in February 2004 while he was working for a specialist restoration company based in Hampton Hill, Middlesex. Over the years of ownership, he carried out restoration work which included repainting the car. The V6 Essex engine has been removed and totally rebuilt including reboring to 3.4 litre and stroked, the carburettors have been replaced with a pair of DOE40 split Webers. This car has been admired at the various classic car events it has attended, in 2014 and 2015 it was voted car of the weekend at the MSA Spring Classic events. Being sold due to the vendors ailing health, this lovely Capri has not been used since its last MoT test certificate in April 2017, but it has been regularly started and run and is ready to be use and enjoyed. With the Essex three litre V6 engine it is unsurprising that rare survivors such as the 3000E offered here are extremely sought after amongst collectors.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Volvo P1800S Transmission: manualMileage:69420In December 1957, the first handbuilt P1800 prototype was driven to the headquarters of Karmann. Volvo had hoped that Karmann would be able to take on the tooling and building of the P1800 and they were ready to build it which meant that the first cars could hit the market as early as December 1958. But in February, Karmann's most important customer, Volkswagen, forbade Karmann to take on the job as they feared that the P1800 would compete with the sales of their own cars and threatened to cancel all their contracts if they took it on. This setback almost caused the project to be abandoned and it looked doomed until a press release surfaced with a photo of the car, putting Volvo in a position where they had to acknowledge its existence. These events influenced the company to renew its efforts with the car and it was presented to the public for the first time at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1960. Volvo turned to Jensen Motors, whose production lines were under-utilised and they agreed a contract for 10,000 cars. The first production P1800 left Jensen for an eager public after its troubled inception.This lovely example is presented in dark green with a superb new interior in beige, including dashboard, carpets and upholstery. A large history file accompanies this retro classic, containing many receipts and invoices and old MoT test certificates. This model was of course made famous by the 1960s series ‘The Saint’, starring Sir Roger Moore. Interestingly, Jaguar was first offered the opportunity to provide an E-Type for the TV series but declined. Volvo accepted and offered a P1800, leading to increased sales. Initially, they lent two cars for the series, one for static studio shots and the other for moving shots. When the P1800S came along, one of the earlier cars was cut up to allow better interior shots. These cars still turn heads today, displaying that wonderful styling and poise so typical of that era.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1974 Citroën DS 23 Safari Transmission: automaticMileage:55000After 18 years of secret development, the DS19 was introduced on 5th October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken and orders for the first day totalled 12,000 cars. To a France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, the DS was a symbol of French ingenuity. It was the first mass-production car with front power disc brakes. It also featured hydro pneumatic suspension including an automatic self-levelling system, variable ground clearance, power-steering, a semi-automatic transmission and a fibreglass roof which reduced weight. It also sported inboard front brakes as well as independent suspension. Despite the rather leisurely acceleration afforded by its four-cylinder engine, the DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount. It won the Monte-Carlo Rally in 1959 and, controversially in 1966, after the disqualification of the BMC Mini-Cooper team. The Citroën DS placed fifth on Automobile Magazine's '100 Coolest Cars' listing in 2005. It was also named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine after a poll of 20 world-renowned car designers.Originally registered on 19th August 1974, this right hand drive Citroën presents in splendid condition. The 2347cc engine runs well, this mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. These larger engine DS’s are delightful to drive offering a good performance and a ride that is difficult to surpass. The Safari offers a significant load space as well as being very stylish. Supplied with a V5C registration document, these Citroëns are an automotive masterpiece, offering beauty, functionality, and practicality all in one.

1954 Riley RME Transmission: manualMileage:404Despite producing some fine small saloons and sporting cars while carving out an enviable competition record for itself during the early 1930s, Riley had lost its battle to remain independent and was part of the Nuffield Organisation by the decade’s end. Rileys of the immediate post-war years were, nevertheless, recognisably products of the ‘old firm’. Most popular of these was the 1.5 litre RMA sports saloon, which came with torsion bar independent front suspension, hydro-mechanical brakes and Riley’s classic twin-camshaft, overhead-valve engine in four-cylinder guise. An improved version, the RME, with fully hydraulic brakes - appeared in 1952 and continued in production until 1955.This lovely example of this British classic is presented in black over ivory with tan leather interior. The car was purchased by the present owner in 2007 from a lady owner who had the car stored in a barn for many years. The car was then fully restored by the renown classic car restorer, Michael Hibberd Motor Engineers. The engine and chassis were rebuilt and a full body restoration was carried out also. The car was painted, new carpets and headlining were installed, all the woodwork was restored and a new stainless steel exhaust system was fitted. This wonderful classic Riley comes with a lovely history including original manuals, toolkit and parts invoices. A delightful classic in great condition which is ready to be enjoyed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 Austin Mini Cooper Mk. I (997cc) Transmission: manualMileage:87159The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known and its impact socially, culturally and mechanically is well documented. The Swinging Sixties, The Beatles, Twiggy and the Mini are inexorably combined to represent an era that is remembered with great fondness by many people. Very few classic cars have seen such a meteoric rise in values as the Mini has over the past five years. The Mini holds an iconic place in British motor car history and in the hearts and minds of any driver, it is safe to say no other car can spark a conversation in the same way with many people having owned a Mini and likely to have a story or two to tell. On its introduction in August 1959 the Mini was marketed under the Austin and Morris names, as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor. The Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini in January 1962 and Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969.The Austin Mini Cooper Mk. I (997cc) offered here is a 1962 example. This car looks stunning in green with a contrasting white roof and is complemented with a green and beige trim. This Austin Mini was supplied overseas and imported back into the U.K on 4th January 1964. Registration number EFD 766B shows just four registered keepers with the same family owning the car from 1964 all the way up to 2013. The car is supplied with its original 1960’s registration document, British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate, original Mini Cooper handbook and various invoices for recent servicing work. A perfect opportunity to own such an iconic British classic, which will certainly appreciate over time.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
