Lot 936
One of the most spectacular creations of its time, the 750 F1 is still one of the most sought after motorcycles in Ducati history. On offer from a private Collection, this fabulous example has not been used since being fully recommissioned. Considered by many enthusiasts to be the last of the 'real' (pre-Cagiva takeover) Ducatis, the race-styled 750 F1 first appeared in 1985. Ducati had already enjoyed considerable success with its Pantah-derived F2 racers in FIM Formula 2 racing - Tony Rutter winning the championship four times running between 1981 and 1984 - so a '750' version was the logical next step.First seen in prototype form in endurance races in 1983, the F1's 748cc engine was the latest in a long line of stretches applied to the original 500c 'belt drive' Desmo unit that had first appeared in the Pantah in 1979. An markedly over-square design of 88mm x 61.5mm bore/stroke, the F1 engine produced around 60bhp and functioned as a stressed element within the frame, the swinging arm pivoting in the rear of the gearbox. Clearly visible above the deliberately cut away fairing sides, the aforementioned frame attracted almost as much attention as the engine: a trellis of short, straight tubes, it has formed the basis of every road-going Ducati since, as well as the first Desmosedici Moto GP racers. In the fashion of the day, the F1 came with a 16" front wheel, while braking power was provided by state-of-the-art triple Brembos. The stock F1 was complemented by a series of hand-built limited edition race replicas – Montjuich, Santamonica and Laguna Seca – the last inspired by Marco Lucchinelli's famous 'Battle of the Twins' race victory at Daytona in 1986.Today, the evocatively named F1 and its derivatives are highly prized by Ducati collectors. First registered on 7th August 1986, this Ducati F1 was purchased by its second owner, the renowned collector and entrepreneur, Robert White, in September 1989 from Three Cross Motorcycles (sales invoice on file). The Ducati formed part of Robert White’s Collection from 1989 up until 2016 when he then auctioned off his collection, with the current owner being the lucky bidder that day and he, in turn, has kept it in his heated garage ever since.In late January 2017, the bike was entrusted to Rhodes & Track for recommissioning and they went right through it including a carb overhaul, replacement hoses, chain, sprockets, plugs, gaskets, battery, fresh fluids, new tyres and the fairing was painted. This work amounted to £1,818 and the invoice is on file.Presented in unrestored condition, this fabulous Ducati displays a, believed-genuine, 10,787km (approximately 6,702 miles) on the odometer and is offered with SORN paperwork and its V5C registration document. N.B. Please note this lot will be sold with a buyers premium of 15% plus VAT as per our usual motorcycle terms.Specification Make: DUCATI Model: 750 F1 Year: 1986 Chassis Number: NA Registration Number: D41 EPR Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 7500821 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
Lot 923
One of only 80 right-hand drive examples of these contemporary classic Jaguars from SVO with just 71 miles from new - simply incredible. In 2012, nearly 40 years after the E-Type's demise, Jaguar finally got around to announcing the long-awaited and much-rumoured F-Type, which would turn out to be a more worthy spiritual successor to its illustrious forbearer than either the preceding XK8 or, before that, the XJS. A front-engined, rear-wheel drive two-seater, the F-Type is built on an aluminium chassis, cleverly configured to minimise the transmission of noise and vibration to the passenger compartment, while its suspension is the supercar-standard arrangement of double wishbones all round, with adaptive dampers and adjustable settings. Multiple driving modes cater for different road conditions and driving styles. Unlike the E-Type, the F-Type was available with a wide variety of different power plants, ranging from a turbocharged 2-litre four via a 3-litre turbo V6 to a supercharged 5-litre V8. A ZF 8-speed paddle-shift semi-automatic transmission was standard on all models at first, with a 6-speed manual available later on the V6. The F-Type debuted at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012 in convertible form, with the fixed head coupé following in 2014. Nowadays it is de rigeur for car stylists to reference past models in their latest creations and to some observers, the coupé's rear recalled that of one of the rarest of E-Types: the low-drag factory racer. To cater for the sports car market's seemingly insatiable appetite for limited edition models, Jaguar launched the 400 Sport – produced for just one year – and Project 7, which would be built in a run of only 250 cars. Project 7 had first seen the light of day as a single-seater concept car shown at Goodwood, and so favourable was the reception that it was decided to press ahead with making a more practical two-seater production version. They soon sold out, with 80 assigned to customers in the UK. The 'Project 7' designation referenced Jaguar's seven Le Mans wins, while the 'Aero Haunch' behind the driver's head was an obvious nod towards the D-Type sports-racer responsible for three of those victories. An aggressive looking shallow-screen 'barchetta', Project 7 has all-aluminium bodywork and is powered by the 5-litre supercharged V8, uprated to produce 567bhp, 25bhp more than in the F-Type R. Coupled with a 45kg weight reduction, this makes Project 7 the fastest accelerating F-Type yet, with a 0-60mph time of 3.8 seconds. Like many of the current crop of supercars, Project 7 is electronically limited to a top speed of 186mph. With the exhaust butterflies open (there's a special console switch), the car emits a superb growl-bark that turns into a magnificent crackle on the overrun. It's the one thing that makes you want to slow down.The 'top-end running gear' includes the 8-speed paddle-shift auto 'box, electronic differential, carbon ceramic brakes, specially tuned suspension and unique settings for engine management and chassis stability control. SVO engineers also rebalanced and improved the car's rear-biased aerodynamic downforce by fitting side skirts and a large front splitter, while slightly reducing the effectiveness (and drag) of the boot lid wing. The result of Project 7's unique set of characteristics is a track-focused car capable of satisfying even the quickest of drivers.The car presented here is a 2015 Jaguar F-Type Project 7 with only 71 miles recorded so, effectively, a 'new' car. Acquired by our car-enthusiast vendor to form part of his Collection, it was supplied by Lancaster Jaguar of Sevenoaks, finished in the rather striking special order hue of Ultra Blue with a triple white stripe across the nose and was first registered on 24th December 2015.It sits on a set of special order, bright-forged, 20" Storm Black diamond-turned alloy wheels in front of bright yellow calipers. The car was optioned from new with Project 7 illuminated tread plates, four-point racing harnesses (on its Jet Black sports seats) and was supplied with a bespoke car cover, a scale model example, a leather hood bag, two keys and an immobiliser. It's fitted with the 'Jaguar Project 7 - one of 250' plaque and is accompanied by the rather lavish Dealer Book Pack containing its Certificate of Authenticity.Despite its micro-mileage, the car has been serviced by Lancaster Jaguar on 11th September 2017 (as their 16,000-mile service interval), again on 9th September 2021 at 70 miles (as their 48,000-mile service interval), again on 28th October 2022 at 70 miles (as their 80,000-mile service interval) and lastly on 23rd July 2023 at 70 miles.As you can imagine, this car's condition is simply spectacular. We invite and encourage you to come along to our sale and inspect this impressive piece of Modern Jaguar History.Specification Make: JAGUAR Model: F-TYPE PROJECT 7 Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SAJAC7040GMK27913 Registration Number: LX65 CVR Transmission: Semi-automatic Engine Number: 15051831440508PS Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 71 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

In superb condition with low mileage and celebrity provenance, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a pristine example of a Heritage Edition Defender with just 3,800 miles from new. After 67 years of making one of the most iconic off-roaders, Land Rover finally called time on the Defender series, so closely linked in heart, body and soul to the original 1947 Series I, HUE 166, affectionately known as 'Huey'. To mark the occasion, Land Rover launched the final Defender Celebration Series of three limited editions and the most significant of these was the Heritage Edition. Limited to just 400 built right at the end, the last ever Defender rolled off the production line at 9.15am on 29th January 2016. It was the 2,016,933rd Defender built at Solihull and thus became the last true Land Rover, the end of an era.All were finished in Grasmere Green with an Alaskan White roof, Heritage-style grill, headlamp surrounds and heavy duty steel wheels as a nod to the original car and further nostalgic touches include the silver front bumper with black end caps, clear indicator lenses, Indus Silver door hinges, body-coloured wheel arches, aluminium Heritage-style badging to the front grille and rear bodywork and evocative HUE 166 graphics on both front wing panels.Modern upgrades included a perforated leather steering wheel and gear lever, aluminium trim for the air vents, door handles and door locks, interior trim finished in Almond Resolve cloth seat facings with the Heritage logo and finally a padded cubby box between the two front seats.This car was supplied new by Gordon Lamb of Chesterfield in October of 2015 to its first owner who covered a nominal mileage and within 18 months offered the car for sale. In 2017, we were approached to locate and find a five-door 110 Heritage Edition, significantly rarer than the three-door 90, specifically for the world-famous comic actor, Rowan Atkinson CBE.A well known petrol head and Land Rover enthusiast, we had the pleasure of sourcing this car for him and it has since been cherished and lightly used as part of his personal Collection. Always correctly serviced, maintained and professionally stored, retaining all its original paint and panels, it has now covered just 3,800 miles from new. During Rowan's tenure, the car was fitted with a factory-specification tow bar and electrics as well as factory-spec air conditioning (at a cost of £4,278!) and also had a car alarm installed. Today, it is ready to use and enjoy and is offered in exceptional condition throughout with the comfort of a known history from new.The Heritage Edition was limited to a production run world wide of just 400 units and each vehicle was accompanied by a matching green hardback book entitled Land Rover - One of 400. We are pleased to confirm that the book is present and correct with this car and can be seen with the history file at our documents desk at the forthcoming sale.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SALLDHMP7GA483984 Registration Number: YR65 WUT Transmission: Manual 6-Speed Engine Number: 150924061314DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 3800 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: AlmondClick here for more details and images

Number five of five, this Mitsubishi EVO VI RS Tommi Mäkinen 'Monte Carlo' Edition has covered just 3,497 miles from new in the hands of its one and only owner. Launched at the peak of rally-mania, Mitsubishi experienced huge success in Lancer Evolution sales, reportedly selling 6,000 Evolution IVs in the first three days of its launch! The 1996 WRC season brought Mitsubishi its first World Rally Championship drivers’ title, with thanks to a blisteringly quick driver named Tommi Mäkinen.In quick succession, the Lancer Evolution VI came to be and, in the latter-half of 1999, Mitsubishi unleashed a special edition to celebrate its favourite driver's four consecutive WRC drivers' titles from 1996-1999; the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition (TME). The Evolution VI was already a technological tour-de-force but the TME came equipped with a more responsive titanium turbocharger, uprated and lowered suspension, quicker steering, an upgraded exhaust, a new ECU, beefed-up transfer case internals, a redesigned front bumper for improved cooling and authentic 17" WRC Enkei alloy wheels. The interior featured embossed Recaro seats, a MOMO steering wheel and red stitching. The performance upgrades saw 0-60mph despatched in 4.4 seconds and a maximum top speed of 150mph. Power was rumoured to be north of 300bhp, rather than the 276bhp 'Gentleman’s agreement'.Offered here is the rarest of all the Tommi Mäkinen derivatives and often regarded as the last of the true homologation specials. Ralliart UK planned to produce a limited run of 12 cars to celebrate Tommi Mäkinen’s unprecedented third win on the Monte Carlo Rally, but in fact only five cars were built, this being #5.The RS Monte Carlo edition started life as a standard competition RS model before the Ralliart Technical Team, headed by WRC Mitsubishi Works principal Toney Cox, applied their extensive knowledge to produce the ultimate Mitsubishi Evo. It was fitted with the renowned Ralliart UK Stage 1 engine performance pack providing stunning acceleration, improved throttle response and overall drivability. The uprated suspension was enhanced with specially developed Eibach springs which, with revised geometry, provided improved handling and the 'Monte Carlo' was equipped with the competition close-ratio gearbox and a 'Group N' rally-specification front helical differential. The interior benefitted from Recaro SR front seats with the rear seats and doors trimmed in a matching fabric.First registered to Ralliart UK Ltd. on 11th July 2001, #5 was subsequently sold to its one and only owner on 17th August 2001 with only 71 miles indicated and today the odometer reads just 3,497 miles. The history file contains a copy of the original RS Monte Carlo press release from Mitsubishi Motor Sports and Ralliart and the original invoice to our owner. Essentially still factory fresh, Monte Carlo #5 has recently been checked over by a renowned rally preparation business and represents the final opportunity to own a pristine example of what, in our opinion, is the ultimate Evo.Specification Make: MITSUBISHI Model: EVO VI Year: 2001 Chassis Number: JMYSNCP9AYU000227 Registration Number: Y829 GHW Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 4G63BK5599 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 3497 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

1 of just 250 Tomb Raider Special Edition Defenders produced, one of the best-equipped Defenders ever and a real collectors' car. Over the years there have been a number of 'special edition' Land Rover Defenders released, including the '90SV', 'Defender 50th' and the 'Heritage' with possibly the best known special being the 'Tomb Raider' from 2000, which was created to commemorate Land Rover's role in the first film of that franchise. Designed to look like an off-road expedition vehicle, they were finished in Bonatti Grey metallic paint with special badging and details and came equipped with a roof rack and roof rack support system (looking similar to a roll-cage), additional spotlights, winch, bull-bar, raised air-intake and Pewter Grey 'Boost' alloy wheels. Internally they were complemented by 'Black Quest' fabric seats, black leather steering wheel, air conditioning and a stereo cassette radio. Limited to a run of 250, they were available either as a 90" or 110" double cab, with standard TD5 engines.This UK-supplied right-hand drive Defender 90 was first registered in May 2002 and has been enjoyed by three former keepers. With a recorded mileage of just 34,504 miles at the time of viewing, it remains in outstanding condition throughout and this-low production run Land Rover Tomb Raider would make the perfect addition to any Land Rover collection. It will be presented at sale fully serviced and issued with a fresh MOT. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 90 TD5 Year: 2002 Chassis Number: SALLDVB871A621128 Registration Number: GF02 GNU Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 10P28734B Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 34504 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

#111 of the final run of 300 German-manufactured, right-hand drive Beetles, finished in Diamond Silver and in wonderful condition. Offered with No Reserve. The Volkswagen Beetle enjoyed staggering success for many years, and in 1972 became the best-selling car to date, with total production worldwide exceeding 15,000,000 vehicles. However, by that time, the Beetle was starting to seem dated compared with much of the modern competition and sales were flagging. In an attempt to maintain interest, Volkswagen produced numerous special edition models during the final years of European production. These included the Jeans Beetle, City Beetle, Sun Bug and Marathon Beetle, to name just a few. Despite these efforts, the Beetle was now effectively past its 'sell-by-date' with sales continuing to decline and the last European-built car left the production line in Emden, Germany on the 19th January 1978, immediately taking early retirement in the Wolfsburg Auto Museum. In 1978, to mark the occasion, the final run of 300 German-manufactured right-hand drive Beetles were all finished in the very special Diamond Silver (L97A) paint colour; they were also all fitted with a 1,200cc engine (the most famous of all), blue-corded velour trim, a flat windscreen (as a nod to the past), heated rear window, fresh air blower and a handbrake dash-light. Finally, a dashboard-mounted plaque stated the vehicle's number in the sequence.The car presented here, example #111, is known throughout the VW owners club and features on the official LEB register. Reading an unwarranted mileage of just over 10,000, #111 was the subject of a sympathetic restoration between 2011-2013 and is in lovely condition. The Jubilee Silver paintwork is bright, and the interior is immaculate. All brightwork and chrome are 'as new', the glass is original and the engine bay is tidy. The car has formed part of a small private Collection since 2015, being driven only occasionally, MOT’d and maintained well and several invoices detailing expenditure and a 2015 service by respected VW specialist ‘Veedubs’ are present in the accompanying history file. The LEB was produced in smaller numbers than any previous special-edition Beetle and, in our opinion, is a very significant collector's car or would make an ideal first classic for an enthusiast at a most reasonable outlay.Specification Make: VOLKSWAGEN Model: BEETLE LAST EDITION Year: 1978 Chassis Number: 1182007277 Registration Number: YTA 167S Transmission: Manual Engine Number: D1417446 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 10000 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
