Registration No: GVT 646Chassis No: Y254735MOT: ExemptPLEASE NOTE: This lot is now offered with No ReserveOne of just 5 Martin Ford Specials known to have survivedSubject to restoration finishing in c.2016 and offered in British Racing Green with contrasting black interiorOffered with a number of documents including communications with Martin Plastics surrounding the purchase of the bodyIn the immediate post-war years and for quite some time afterwards, mainstream sports cars were simply beyond the fiscal reach of most enthusiasts and most new cars were destined for export. Because of this, the Specials (or Kit Car) movement was born. Frederick E. Martin became Martin Plastics Maidstone LTD in 1953, and are thought to be one of the first to offer glass-fibre shells, second only to R.G.S. Still trading today under Martin Coachworks Ltd, the company built approximately 500 cars, but only 5 are thought to have survived to this day.GVT 646 was registered in 1962 with the body purchased in 1956 and utilises a 1939 Ford Prefect as the donor car with a Ford 100E 1172cc sidevalve engine paired with twin SU carbs. Subject to restoration finishing c.2016, GVT comes accompanied with a number of historic invoices, informative documents and the V5C. The vendor rates the condition of the engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and gearbox and interior trim as ‘Good’, with the bodywork ‘Very good’.

Registration No: Q471 GCM Chassis No: FR 0065 MOT: NoneDry stored for several years before receiving engine fettling to run again in 2021Only one keeper since completionFitted with Cortina running gear including a 2.0-litre Ford engineWill require further recommissioning before being road-readyOffered from a deceased estateThe JBA Falcon debuted in 1982, with the first model being called The Roadster. Reminiscent of the 1930's roadsters and built with the same integrity, using an all aluminium body, doors and rear sloping section to encase the petrol tank. The JBA Falcon Roadster sported fibreglass wings and a vertical windscreen and is still viewed today as the ‘original’ JBA Falcon. In contrast to more modern JBA models, the JBA Falcon Roadster was based on the Ford Cortina and was factory fitted with either a standard Ford engine, a Ford V6, or a Rover V8.This Falcon was completed in 1991 by the one and only keeper of the JBA and is offered today from a deceased estate. Fitted with the running gear from a Ford Cortina, utilising a 2.0-litre straight-four overhead-cam engine running twin weber carburettors, and is mated to the four-speed manual transmission. Attractively finished in Green and Black paintwork with Beige interior upholstery, the JBA shows a recorded mileage of just 4,963 post-completion miles (at time of consignment). Understood to have spent approximately ten years off the road before being subject to engine fettling to allow the JBA to run again this year, ‘Q471 GCM’ will require further recommissioning before being ready for road use. Supplied a current V5C and invoices relating to the work completed earlier in the year.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

The fastback Coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA - ie it was our 'pony' car, and would have been called Colt had Mitsubishi not bagged the name first. The monocoque body featured independent front suspension by MacPherson strut and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear. Worthwhile improvements came with the MKII models of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars introduced in 1978. Then in 1981 the venerable 3-litre Essex-engined variant was dropped in favour of the 2.8 Injection model - a single car range powered by the lusty fuel-injected 2.8-litre Cologne V6. Power rose to 160bhp and, soon after launch, the old four-speed gearbox was replaced with a more contemporary five-speed one. Ford now had a stylish four-seat Coupe with performance capable of shaming rivals costing four times the money - it could hit 60mph in 7.8 seconds and top 130mph flat out. Capris have become hot property and many enthusiasts regard the 2.8-litre injection cars as the best of the bunch.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: ‘Very Good'Engine: ‘Very Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Very Good'Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Six years later, recognising that its boxy lines could do with a facelift, the company allowed designer Geoff Lawson to adopt a somewhat retro path for the X300 Series version. This line was revised for the last time in 1997, at which point much-praised new, Bridgend-built V8 engines replaced the previous six-cylinder ones - enter the XJ8. The new units were available in 3.2, 4.0 normally aspirated and 4.0-litre supercharged form, the outputs of which ranged from 240bhp to 370bhp. Most other aspects of the handsome big Saloon were also an improvement on those of its predecessor - the ride in particular won many plaudits.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Very Good’Engine: 'Excellent'Electrical Equipment: 'Excellent'Paintwork: ‘Very Good'Gearbox: 'Excellent'Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
Registration No: TGF 856F Chassis No: 508444A MOT: September 2022Single-family ownership from 1968 until 2012Only four owners from newUprated with a 1000cc engine and front disc brakesAccompanied by a collection of invoicesLaunched in the summer of 1959 as Sir Alec Issigonis's sideswipe at the bubble car which had swept through Europe in the late 1950s, the Mini was truly a revolutionary car. Packing a remarkable amount of interior space into its 10ft length by placing its 'A' series engine sideways from 'east to west' in the engine bay, the practicalities which had dominated its design concept seemed almost accidentally to produce a small car which on its rubber-cone suspension and 10-inch wheels was remarkable fun to drive. Launched in BMC tradition as both an Austin (the Seven, or 'Se7en' in contemporary advertising) and a Morris (Mini-Minor) it was the 'Mini' name that stuck in the long term. Although had original marketing plans to call the Austin version the 'Newmarket' succeeded then this could perhaps have been very different! Sales were initially sluggish but the Mini's rapid acceptance amongst the elite as 'the' car to be seen in soon saw this overcome and by 1963 it had dislodged the Ford Anglia to become the best selling car in the UK.This Mk.II Mini was manufactured in 1968 and was first UK registered on the 12th of February 1968. Originally fitted with the 848cc straight-four engine mated the four-speed manual transmission, the engine has since been uprated to a 1000cc which is understood to be a Metro unit. Finished in Blue paintwork with Beige interior upholstery, the Mini was supplied new to a Constance Ballard of Nottingham, who retained the car until 2000 whereby it was passed to a family member who owned the Mini through to 2012. Entering into current ownership in 2015, the Mini has had just four owners from new. Since entering into current ownership, ‘TGF 856F’ has benefitted from a front disc brake conversion and replacement wheels. Offered with a few previous MOT’s certificates; some past invoices; an MOT until September 2022; a small quantity of spares and a current V5C.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: WN 722Chassis No: 53513MOT: ExemptPowered by the reliable 747cc four-cylinder engine coupled to the correct early three-speed gearboxAn ideal candidate for VSCC eventsPreviously restored to a high standardApparently inspired by the Peugeot Quadrilette, the now immortal Austin Seven was announced in 1922. It is amazing to think that its tiny splash-lubricated 696cc (soon increased to 747cc) engine was the design of an 18-year old draughtsman called Stanley Edge, and the Seven immediately became the smallest four cylinder-engined car on the British market. It featured four-wheel brakes, suspension by semi-elliptic transverse spring at the front, quarter elliptic units at the rear and steering was by a worm and wheel system. Taken to heart by the British public, the Seven remained in production from 1922 until 1939, during which time some 290,000 were produced. It was also manufactured under licence in France, Germany, Japan and America. As with any car whose running gear seems unbreakable, many examples were plundered by special builders (Colin Chapman's first Lotus was based on an Austin Seven) or simply run into the ground. The remaining cars are a vital element of the vintage movement. Through all its variations and evolutions, it is perhaps in the guise of Chummy Tourer that the model is most fondly remembered. Continuing spares availability and a plethora of enthusiastic clubs mean that owning a Chummy in the 21st Century is still a practical proposition (as well as being a great entry into the Vintage Sports Car Club).The 1928 example offered here is finished in blue with black wings and complemented by black interior trim/weather gear. It's powered by the reliable 747cc four-cylinder engine coupled to the correct early three-speed gearbox. 'WN 722' is evidently a subject of much previous restoration work, prior to being placed in long term storage by the previous custodian in his heated and carpeted garage.Produced in Tourer, Saloon, Cabriolet, Sports, Coupe and Van form, the Seven was all things to all men between the two world wars and beyond, and rightly reserved its place alongside the Model T Ford, Volkswagen Beetle and Morris Minor as one of the most popular cars ever produced. Only offered for sale to fund the final stages of restoration to its more contemporary stablemate, this venerable Chummy is offered completely without reserve and is UK registered with a current V5c document.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykesadam.sykes@handh.co.uk07429600332
Registration No: RV 2706Chassis No: A4838996MOT: ExemptOffered with old-style V5 and brown logbookDagenham built and first registered in PortsmouthUnderstood to have been restored in 1988 after 30 years of the roadOffered in Coal Merchant livery with rear scales on rear bedIn running order and ready to be enjoyedThe Ford Model A was manufactured between 1928 and 1931 and was the second huge success for Ford after its predecessor, the Model T. The Model A was offered in a wide variety of body styles and was the first Ford to incorporate the standard set of driver controls with a conventional clutch, brake pedal, accelerator and gearchange. Shortly after the launch of the car came new trucks, namely the Model A and the 1½ ton Model AA. Built on a steel chassis with a 131 ½” wheelbase, the AA was fitted with stronger transverse leafsprings. In 1929 a four-speed manual gearbox became standard. High pressure pneumatic tyres were used all round, as were mechanical drum brakes. Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
Registration No: TSY 101Chassis No: 206E/274704MOT: ExemptThe subject of a photographically documented restoration some ten years agoJust emerged from a glass out respray and looking very smartDesirable 'Low Line' model and one of just 92 surviving Zephyr/Zodiac MKIIs currently known to the DVLAAcquired by its last registered keeper in 2011, ‘TSY 101’ was treated to an extensive, photographically documented restoration thereafter. Finished in Black over White with White upholstery, the Ford has recently had its paintwork refreshed and so presents very nicely. The brightwork is in good order too. Mechanically standard, the 2.6-litre straight-six engine is allied to three-speed manual transmission with a column gearshift. Surviving Zodiac MKII Saloons are few and far between these days which is a shame given what stylish yet practical classics they are. Imbued with a large dose of transatlantic glamour, ‘TSY 101’ is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and the aforementioned restoration images.The Zodiac name was first seen on a Ford at the 1953 Earls Court Motor Show. From day one it denoted the top of the range model – above its siblings, the Consul and Zephyr. The trio were completely restyled in 1956, and the much bigger glass area, tail fins and optional two-tone paint schemes had a heavy American influence. The newcomers were quite a bit larger than their predecessors, with the wheelbase increased by 3 inches to 107 inches and the overall width stretched to 69 inches. With bench seats front and rear, these Fords would comfortably seat up to six adults and had boots to match. The six cylinder in-line engines of the Zephyr and Zodiac were increased in capacity to 2553cc to give an output of 86bhp. This was sufficient to allow a 0-60mph time of 17.9 seconds and a top speed of almost 90mph – lively performance for a largish family car of the period. The engine was either paired with a three-speed, column-change manual gearbox (for which overdrive was an option) or a Borg Warner automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front with MacPherson struts and coil springs and a live axle at the rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. Braking was initially by drums all round, but front discs became optional in 1960 and standard the following year. The Mark II reigned for six years, during which time 294,506 Zephyrs and Zodiacs were produced.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737
Registration No: LWT 406HChassis No: BA96JR73548MOT: ExemptFinished in Blue Mink metallicAn ideal candidate for circuit racing, hillclimb or touring eventsBuilt into its current high specification in Oregon, USA during 2002The Cortina was Ford's mass-market compact car and sold extremely well. It was produced in five generations, the Mk. I through to the Mk. V although officially the last one was called the Cortina 80. With variants of the Cortina reaching sales of over one million, each successive model proved more popular than its predecessor. Such was its fame in the UK, that the Poet Laureate at the time, Sir John Betjeman, included it in one of his poems: ‘I am a young executive. No cuffs than mine are cleaner; I have a Slimline briefcase and I use the firm's Cortina.’ In response to the huge success of the Mini, Ford responded not with a small car but with a larger family offering which they could sell in large numbers. The result was the Cortina; a distinctively styled car aimed at buyers of the Morris Oxford and Vauxhall Victor, launched on 20th September 1962. With eye-catching modern styling, it was originally branded as the Consul Cortina until a modest facelift in 1964, after which, it was sold simply as the Cortina but with four trim levels; Standard, Deluxe, Super and GT.Starting life as a June 1969 Dagenham-built Ford Cortina 1500 GT, this car was built into its current configuration in Oregon, USA during 2002. Starting with an "immaculate, rust-free, undamaged bodyshell", it was first taken to the track by its builder and the current vendor - a well respected engine builder on both sides of the pond. Currently fitted with a 'fresh' all-steel, FIA-legal Lotus Twin-Cam of 1598cc with twin 45 DCOE carbs, putting out an estimated 168bhp, this professionally-built and extremely well-specified competition car is offered with a pre-sale estimate that’s a fraction of the build cost.The paint is an unusual choice for a Lotus Cortina - Blue Mink Metallic, but perhaps more importantly, the panels onto which it’s applied are remarkably straight and show no signs of filler or corrosion (meaning an easy conversion to a fast-road showcar is certainly an option for the purchaser). The windows are polycarbonate, with a sliding panel in the driver’s side and also pull-out vents in the rear screen to encourage a bit of through-flow on hot days. The door mirrors are lightweight plastic items and there is a battery cut-off switch on the car’s right-rear hip. The car is de-bumpered and the original fuel-filler in the rear panel has been welded up and skilfully blended into the surrounding bodywork (the only touch of filler on the car apparently) leaving the filler for the fuel cell in the boot. The front screen is still glass and the car rides on 6x13 Compomotive Minilite-style wheels and road legal tyres.At the back, there’s a small racing battery in the right side-well of the boot and a large long-distance fuel cell in the centre. Fuel is moved via a Facet-type electronic pump mounted to an inner wheel arch and there are also steel reinforcing plates for the axle-locating links and the Panhard rod. It’s remarkable to see factory spotwelds and seam sealer under the paint - the shell has survived amazingly well. The cabin is not as ruthlessly stripped as some tin-top racers and all the better for it, with custom-made door cards, an intact full-width dash and period-looking sports steering wheel. The twin racing seats (currently fixed, not sliding) are FIA-approved, but the harnesses will need replacing with in-date items. Peer under the steering column and you’ll find an ingenious braking bias bar. It works with a pair of master cylinders he’s installed, one for the front brakes and one for the back, and so can be tweaked quite easily between outings until you hit perfection.There is a Safety Devices half-cage installed; this will need to be upgraded to a full cage for British and European circuit events but the front half remains available from Safety Devices and the existing rear half already has brackets to accept it. There’s a fire extinguisher fixed to the cage behind the drivers seat - once again, depending on the type of competition, the next owner may need to replace it with one that’s plumbed to a nozzle in the engine bay.Starting and running well during our recent photography session, 'LWT 406H' bursts into life almost immediately with a loud, rapid crackle to be expected from a race-specification engine. There’s only one small silencer in the side-exit exhaust system which may require further baffling to ensure the car complys with some strict UK circuit noise tests.The engine is built to a high no expense spared specification with a forged crankshaft and conrods, forged aluminium pistons and large valves, plus full race cams. The eye-catching BRM cam cover is one of a short run that our vendor had cast from the original pattern; the engine bay also housing a strut brace and a large alloy radiator / oil cooler (originally to cope with Californian heat). The gearbox is a Ford Type 9 five-speed with Quaife internals and the suspension has been substantially altered to race standard. At the front, stiffer springs and damping, a 1-in anti-roll bar on alloy mounts and adjustable track control arms. At the rear, the axle location is controlled by a pair of rose-jointed links going back to mountings on the boot floor and by a Panhard rod, set up to lower the rear axle’s roll centre. There are custom-made leaf springs. The car runs a plated limited-slip differential and at the front, vented disc brakes. The original invoice from 2002 detailing the build specification is in the file (from our vendor to the original customer), along with a couple of other invoices paid by the first owner and communication between him and the FIA enquiring about technical points. There’s also the car’s logbook from the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) in America detailing the car’s chassis number, the inspector’s comments and a couple of ‘OK to race’ sign-offs from April and May 2002.This 'Super Saloon' offers a very realistic and potentially competitive entry into Historic Motor Sport, but would also be equally at home for fast-road use and touring.For more information, please contact:Adam Sykes07429600332adam.sykes@handh.co.uk
Registration No: YFC 533VChassis No: XE2D2-642701AMOT: T.B.A1275GT based track specification mini, benefiting from Garrett turbocharged 1340cc uprated engine, roll cage, performance dash and extinguisher systemBenefited from engine overhaul in October of 2014 at a cost of £3,606 and comes accompanied with over £43,000 in invoicesIn Current ownership for the last 7 years and offered with just 12,595 milesLaunched in the summer of 1959 as Sir Alec Issigonis's sideswipe at the bubble car which had swept through Europe in the late 1950s, the Mini was truly a revolutionary car.

The Mini's rapid acceptance amongst the elite as 'the' car to be seen in soon saw ig dislodging the Ford Anglia to become the best selling car in the UK and has since become one of the most successful competition cars of all time, running rings around far bigger and more potent opponents by dint of its incredible handling. In current ownership for the last 7 years, YFC 533V is a rare and perhaps unique proposition. based on a 1979 Mini 1275GT and reshelled in 1989, this particular example benefits from a full road-legal track conversion, with specification including the engine being uprated to 1340cc and fitted with a Garrett AIResearch T3 Turbocharger, turbo-specific cam and duplex drivetrain. The vehicle also features additional cooling with the use of a high capacity alloy radiator, with additional cooling fan and oil cooler. YFC 533V was subject to an engine overhaul and lightened flywheel in october of 2014 at a cost of £3,606.In addition to upgrades to the engine, the vehicle also benefits from a straight cut Jack Knight transmission, fully adjustable shock absorbers, tie bars and rear anti-roll bar, and the car sits on 13x7 wheels with uprated 4 pot calipers at the front.

Registration No: RD 7970Chassis No: C31174MOT: ExemptUnderstood to be just 1 of 6 to still surviveOriginal sales brochure, collection of invoices, and old MoT certificatesSubject to an older restoration and current ownership since 2000The pretty convertible Touring version of the Ford Model ‘C’ joined the saloons in mid-1935. The 10hp tourer (hence the Ford 10 moniker) utilised the same 3-speed gearbox, body styling and panels as the saloon car. The 1172cc Touring used an enlarged version of the Model ‘Y’ side valve engine. The suspension was by the Ford system of transverse leaf springs and rigid axles, little changed since the Model T. The De Luxe Model “CX” tourer sold only 1795 cars before its demise on 1 March 1937.Understood to be just 1 of 6 to survive, it remains a very attractive car. ‘RD7970’ has been subject to an older restoration and was later subject to mechanical work in 2014 with the radiator overhauled in 2005. Accompanied by the original sales brochure, a collection of invoices, MoT certificates, original repair manual, and period logbook the Ford has been maintained by the current vendor since 2000. The subject of previous magazine features and articles in club publications ‘RD7970’ still retains its original registration number. The vendor currently grades the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘good’.

Registration No: GD53 WGWChassis No: SAJAC41P242A39685MOT: March 2022Supplied new by Jaguar Lancaster (Sevenoaks) on Valentine's Day 2004Sixteen main dealer and specialist service stamps up until February 2021Current ownership for ten years and an unusually nice and corrosion free example Finished in the decidedly handsome combination of Platinum Metallic with Dove Grey leather upholstery, chassis 39685 was supplied new to Simon Forman by Jaguar Lancaster of Sevenoaks on Valentine’s Day 2004. Changing hands twice thereafter before being acquired by the current registered keeper during 2011, the XK8 rides on imposing 19-inch alloy wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres. Obviously much loved, ‘GD53 WGW’ is accompanied by a service book containing stamps at 9,171, 13,784, 18,440, 28,643, 34,969, 40,620, 44,400, 50,584, 57,884, 62,716, 66,851, 71,232, 74,162, 77,899, 82,994 and 84,004 miles. The car’s condition belies its odometer reading. First generation (X100) XK8s are beautiful to look at and lovely to drive but they can rot terribly; a fate that this example appears to have avoided. Describing the Jaguar as being in ‘very good overall’ order with regards to its 4.2 litre V8 engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, the vendor sums-up ‘GD53 WGW’ as ‘a superb car, rust free, not many like this one’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, two keys and MOT certificate valid until March 2022.Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon - that of 1996 - and, from launch, was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a Big Cat with strong DNA but also its own distinctive, endearing personality. At the time of the newcomer's unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar's second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed.
