A Burmah gearbox

c.1914-1918 Project. No paperwork. This veteran/vintage project consists of an unknown V Twin frame, with a Jardine 4 speed gearbox. John Jardine Ltd of Nottingham built advanced gearboxes for motorcycles which were fitted to many makes including Abingdon, Coulson, Rudge, Invicta, and N.U.T. The four speed box was introduced in 1915.

c.1913/14 Dayton, 162cc, Project. Registration number not registered. Frame number not found. Engine number E4267/7. Dayton Cycle Co built motorcycles from 1913 to 1922, then Chas. Day restarted production at Shoreditch, London in 1939. Postwar, from 1955 to 1960, they built scooters in North Acton, London. This example would appear to be c.1913/14 and was produced with a 1½ hp, 162cc two-stroke Stellar engine fitted with an Amac carburettor. It had a chain-driven magneto, petroil lubrication, transmission by a chain-driven two-speed gearbox and either Druid or Saxon forks. There was also a single speed model. There is no paperwork with this lot.

This Japanese Rolls Royce is offered without reserve and could be a bargain user for those long road trips.

The nearly new Rainsport tyres sit on immaculate 18 inch Rays forged alloys. Inside  The charcoal leather seats show virtually no wear at all. The door cards, dashboard, headlining and carpets are all in similar condition and there are 350Z over mats fitted. Overall a lovely place to sit. There is a face off Sony audio system fitted. Mechanicals The engine fires instantly and emits a superb note through the stainless steel exhaust system. On the road the 350Z performs very well indeed with oodles of power and torque. The brakes, steering and suspension are all as they should be and the gearbox is slick and smooth. History  There is a full book pack with 350Z wallet and sales brochure. A selection of invoices during the current ownership since 2015 for sundry items and MOT certificates dating back until 2013 Our opinion  These cars were rare when they were new and and uncommon site on the roads then and even more so now, especially in this condition. This is one of those cars that in a few years time we will be saying why did I not buy one when they were at that price.

1950 Chrysler Newport Town and Country 5300cc 2 door Coupe No Reserve  Registration:  LXS 766 Chassis: 7411821 Odometer: 43000 Transmission: Semi Auto  MOT: Exempt  • Powered by a straight eight 5100cc engine with a 3 speed semi-automatic gearbox • Offered for sale in outstanding condition inside, outside and mechanically  • Said to be one of only 698 produced and one of only 2 in the UK . Magazine featured previously and will be featured in a future issue of Classic and Sports Car Outside  Finished in striking black paint which compliments the chrome and woodwork perfectly. The paintwork is finished to the highest standard though there are a few chips on the edge of the driver’s door and a tiny scratch on the upper of the rear side quarter panel. The chrome is of a very high quality and we are unable to find fault anywhere on the car. The woodwork is very good in most areas with the exception of a crack on the off side rear quarter and some blemishes on the near side. Fitted with the correct and matching BF Goodrich 6.20 x 15 tyres all round which show excellent tread depth. Inside The cloth and leather interior is in very good order all round apart from some delamination on the drivers seat where the leather meets the cloth and a small area under the seat cover on the offside rear seat. The rear panel on the offside has a very small area of damage which is barely visible.  The carpets and door cards and in excellent order as are the interior fittings and the chrome work. All instrumentation is present and the gauges appear to be fully operational and showing readings when the car is running. Mechanicals The Chrysler was driven to our premises and no faults were noted apart from the intermittent operation of the windscreen wipers.  The under bonnet presents beautifully and the engine runs like a Swiss watch with a delightful burble from the exhaust. The brakes are effective and the gearbox changes without issue. Our Opinion Quite possibly the only chance you currently have to acquire one of these stunning cars. It is rare that we handle a car that unanimously gains approval from everyone who looks at it. This car is a testament to the style and design from the 1940s & 50s flamboyant America. These are a fraction of the price of a similar English or European counterparts and you can be sure that you will not be parked next to another one at any show or event.

1986 Nissan 300ZX Z31Reg. no. E660 CNLChassis no. JN10HGZ31U0030368Engine no. VG30-071737Transmission: ManualMileage: 69,913MOT: Expired For a period of time the world forgot about 1980s Japanese sports cars, but these are now coming back with a bang onto the classic car market. The first generation of 300ZX, the Z31, was built from 1983 - 1989, offering buyers that typical retro sports car wedge shape with iconic pop-up headlights. With a drag coefficient of just 0.31 and Nissan’s first mass produced V6, the VG30, the car had good performance for the era. The 2+2 Coupe in 1986 featured some pre facelift parts but also some older parts as the model evolved, making it a unique year for these cars. This version of the Z car featured cruise control, electric mirrors and electric windows.This example with the 3-litre V6 NA engine, features a manual gearbox and glass T-top. It has been stored in a barn for a number of years whilst having sporadic work carried out. The paintwork has taken sun damage over the years, quite typical with a red car, but the underside looks to be solid having had some recent welding and the bodywork is quite straight. It has done very little mileage since 2018. The car runs and drives with the engine running smoothly and the gearbox selecting all gears. The interior also remains in good order aside from the driver’s bolster. The only aftermarket parts that appear to be fitted are a stainless exhaust system, cone air filter, radio and a Nardi steering wheel (original included). It has been sat for some time so the car will require some restoration, but it is a great base for what is now a very rare vehicle.The sale includes a number of spares, a V5C logbook as well as a large folder of history including old servicing and parts receipts. Previous work includes replacement of an outer sill, inner arch and section of the floor in 2021. It also received a timing belt in 2017 and an alternator in 2019 but appears to have very little use if any during current ownership. There seem to a number of parts receipts from Japan which suggests that many items are still available to buy.Estimate: £4,000 – 6,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1934 Lanchester 10 SaloonReg. no. CPA 873Chassis no. 23137Engine no. 69475Introduced in 1932 and the smallest ever Lanchester, the Ten was unique in its class at the time, having both a Daimler fluid flywheel and Wilson four-speed pre-selector gearbox. The car had an adequate performance with a top speed of just over 60mph. Little is known about the history of this example apart from the fact that Barry Trevarrow acquired the car following the death of local enthusiast and friend Royston Ball, who had enjoyed the car for some years. This Lanchester is offered with a V5C, an original spare parts catalogue and an instruction manual. There are also other items of early literature and ephemera.Estimate: £4,000 - 6,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

2006 Porsche 911 997 Carrera S ConvertibleReg. no. AY06 KLEChassis no. WP0ZZZ99Z6S762682Engine no. 68613594Transmission: ManualMileage: 100,482 (3,500 Since Engine Rebuild)MOT: January 2024 The Porsche 911 is known for being the everyday sports car with people able to use it to commute to work or take to the shops but, at the same time, enjoy a weekend drive or a cruise across Europe. With its unique rear engine, flat six drivetrain and unchanged shape since its first generation, they have been popular for good reason, for decades. The 997 generation was produced from 2004 – 2013 and was well received by both the public and motoring journalists worldwide. It has a sleek look with the headlight shape giving a nod to older generations of 911. The 997 shared just a third of its parts with the previous generation of 996 and as a result felt very different to drive. The Carrera S version like this example, had improved suspension, larger brakes and a 3.8 flat six producing 350bhp pushing the car to 62mph in just 4.2 seconds and the usual German speed limiter of 155mph.Having been part of a collection for a number of years, this manual, 997 convertible, has been very well looked after and dry stored with its current owner. It also shows just two previous owners on the V5C document. The black leather interior with silver trim presents well, whilst externally the body sits in black with black roof, silver 19” lobster fork alloy wheels and the red Porsche brakes standing out behind them. The car received a complete engine rebuild in 2018 by renowned Porsche specialists Hartech to the tune of £8,500 with a complete run down of the build included in the car’s paperwork, it has only done 3,500 miles since. Original Porsche manuals are present, as is service history and other paperwork including parts receipts and old MOT’s.These are fantastic cars. They sound superb, have a really nice manual gearbox and go as well as they should. Any new potential owner will not be disappointed with this example.Estimate: £22,000 – 24,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

2000 Ford Racing PumaReg. no. W657 AVWChassis no. WF0CXXGAECYR13644Engine no. YR13644Transmission: ManualMileage: 85,180MOT: June 2023 The Ford Racing Puma could be considered a homologation special. However, unusually, the car was designed to commemorate Fords success with the car in motorsport as opposed to a competition car. It was a way of showing the world its motorsport technologies through a production-based car. With 1000 units planned, just 500 were ever built for the UK market with all conversions being carried out by the famous motorsport outfit, Tickfords between 1999 and 2001.The stunning imperial blue colour of the Racing Puma really made the wider, aluminium factory arches stand out, but these builds were not just about looks. The cars weighing in at just 1174kg, sport an Alcon brake setup at the front, a stronger IB5 gearbox and shafts, as well as uprated cams, air intake and exhaust system. Despite only producing 155bhp from its 1.7 Zetec engine, the little feisty Puma still pushes from 0-62 in 7.8 seconds. The handling was left to Ford’s specialists at Boreham to fettle with a certain Stig Blomqvist reportedly spending a large amount of time helping the team refine the handling on the little coupe. In period the S1400 and S1600 rally cars were piloted by the likes of David Higgins and Sebastien Loeb as Ford further cemented itself in the world of motorsport.This particular example has been kept as part of a rally family’s collection for some time and has only seen 1000 miles in the last 14 years; the V5C document shows just two previous owners. It has had some recent recommissioning work, the front bumper has been painted, and overall, the car remains in very original condition, having averaged just 3,500 miles per year. It is in good condition mechanically and the interior is in fantastic order with the Alcantara wheel and seats looking factory fresh. Every Puma Racing was numbered with this particular car sporting number 0318 on its manifold which is also reflected in its original owner’s guide supplement. The sale includes a large amount of history with original stamped service book, a large number of parts and service receipts, many of which are from PumaBuild and a current V5C document. This is a great opportunity to own a well-presented example of a limited build, motorsport based, Ford collector’s car.Estimate: £20,000 – 25,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1934 Lagonda Rapier Abbott TourerReg. no. VS 2718Chassis no. D10667 (V5C states incorrectly 15667)Car no. 10667Engine no. D2416The Rapier was the smallest offering by Lagonda in the 1930s, and it was fitted with an all-new 1104cc twin overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine. Consultant designer Thomas Ashcroft was given the not inconsiderable task of producing ‘Britain’s finest 1100cc engine’. The engine was originally intended to be cast in light alloy but to save cost it was eventually made in cast iron using the original patterns. A respectable 50bhp was produced and engine production was sub-contracted to Coventry Climax; the power unit was complimented by a four-speed pre-select gearbox and Girling rod brakes. Most cars like this example were fitted with bodies by Abbott Ltd of Farnham.This Rapier was first registered in December 1934 in Greenock, supplied by Burton & Tweedy in Scotland. There are gaps in this Lagonda’s early history, but we understand that it changed hands several times during the 1960s, it went from Rugby to Trumpington, South of Cambridge and by 1964 was in Yorkshire, heading to New Ellerby in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The next owner of the Lagonda was in Holme on Spalding Moor, East of York, it was then briefly in Hessle and the car then saw the 1960's out with John Edward Bec registered at RAF Driffield.After three decades off the road, the Lagonda’s next owner embarked on a sympathetic restoration. He spent several years working on the car, getting it running, re-commissioning the mechanicals and coach painting the body to an acceptable standard. The Lagonda was finished in early 2007. The car had a great many mechanical improvements in 2021, but overall, the body and paintwork do require some improvement. This example is offered here with a file of papers including a continuation buff logbook, various recent bills and a V5C.Estimate: £28,000 – 35,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

2003 BMW E46 M3 ConvertibleReg. no. M300 AHHChassis no. WBSBR920101EH78404Engine no. 61022931Transmission: SMGMileage: 94,958MOT: August 2023 The BMW M division have been at the pinnacle of motorsport and performance production cars for decades. Certainly, a fantastic motorsport heritage has worked hand in hand with extensive M car sales worldwide. The initial concept of the E46 M3 began in 1997 and production ran for six years from 2000 – 2006.The E46 was the 3rd generation of the M3 line up and it did not disappoint with its fantastic S54B32 NA straight six engine and muscular body panels that set it aside from other E46 models. Among other German and Japanese cars, with which it competed, it stood out from the crowd. With nearly 340bhp and a redline of 8000rpm, the RWD NA car in coupe and convertible form would accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.1 seconds offering high performance.Despite its performance focus, the interior is a lovely place to be as you would expect from BMW. This particular example has black leather with the door cards and dash having silver accents, which in turn compliment the Titan Silver exterior with black roof. Both interior and exterior remain in very good condition for what is now a 20-year-old car. The car has been a part of a collection for the past six years and has only done 2,000 miles since 2016.Recent work has included a full overhaul of the SMG gearbox which upon inspection required 2nd gear synchro and hub assembly. The front propshaft assembly was also changed, and the SMG system was reprogrammed as well as a new clutch and flywheel package. This work was completed at 93,856miles. The current V5C shows eight previous owners, there are two spare keys, plus a history folder that includes a number of parts and service papers with previous MOT certificates. The M3 registration number is included with the sale of the vehicle.Estimate: £10,000 – 12,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1971 Ford Escort MkI MexicoReg. no. BFL 744KChassis no. BFATLY38069Engine no. L7Transmission: ManualMileage: 1,433 (Since Restoration) The Ford Escort Mk. I Mexico is forever etched in the sands of automotive time as a truly iconic motor vehicle built to celebrate Ford’s relentless onslaught in rallying and their success in the 16,000 miles London – Mexico rally with Hannu Mikkola taking overall victory. No less than five Mk. 1’s finished in the top ten.Built by Ford’s special branch, AVO, on the type 49 shell, the Mexico could leave the factory with a number of motorsport related options including red Mexico decals and steel bubble arches. Under the bonnet was a single cam 1600 crossflow and four speed gearbox. It’s one of those cars that for many is seen as the start of Ford’s undeniable motorsport success in the modern era.This Mexico, according to its VIN plate was built in the Aveley plant and painted in the diamond white it sits in today. It has been adapted to historic / road rally specification with additions such as safety devices, bolt in roll cage, alloy fuel tank and motorsport fuelling setup, as well as rally trip meter and map light. The car received a nut and bolt restoration with 750 hours of work accumulated and the brief was to build a homage to the Hannu Mikkola car from the 1970 world cup rally; many new old stock parts were used.The car has been part of a collection for a number of years and had received a bare metal restoration which was completed in 2013. Since then it has been well looked after and dry stored with just 1,433 miles added. The interior has recently benefitted from a restoration including front and rear seats being retrimmed in January 2022 by Motortrim. The Grp4 strengthened shell is stunning with body and paint in almost perfect condition, those four legendary spot lights taking pride of place at the front, whilst revolution wheels wrapped in Kumho tyres finish off a perfect retro look. The underside has also remained in good order with just minor signs of use. Tell-tale signs of the Type40 shell used for the Mexico builds are still present such as the rear stone deflector on the underside of the boot and reinforced front strut tops. The sale includes a V5C as well as a folder of history that documents the restoration of the car in picture form.Estimate: £30,000 – 35,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1913 Straker Squire 15HPReg. no. SD 1726Chassis no. 3168Engine no. 3168Straker & Squire as the company was first known, was established in Fishponds Bristol in 1906 and remained there until 1918 when they relocated to Edmonton, London changing the name to Straker-Squire Ltd. Sidney Straker however had been involved with road vehicles from 1899 when he was producing a steam wagon with Edward Bayley and then with LRL Squire and by 1906 approx. 200 Straker steam vehicles were in use. The firm entered the petrol engine market in 1906 by importing the French built Cornilleau-STE Beuve and marketed them under their own name. Plans were made for Straker to build these cars, but they changed tack and instead produced a 2020cc car designed by Roy Feddon, later Sir Roy. By the time of the 1908 Olympia Motor Show and following some improvements, the car was marketed as the 14/16hp and then for 1910, the stroke was lengthened and renamed the 15hp. For a comprehensive history of the Straker Squire Company we recommend reading an article by the renowned motoring historian, the late Mike Worthington-Williams. The article can be found in The Automobile Magazine dated May 1990 with the second part in the June 1990 issue, of which there are copies in the file.  SD 1726 is on the front cover of the May issue and many accompanying photographs inside.This early Straker Squire was delivered new to the Ayrshire region in Scotland. According to research, it is likely that it carried a four-seat open body. In 1929 the car was retired and dismantled, for ease of storage, and the mechanical parts were stored in a stable. Unfortunately, the body was removed and apparently burnt. At this time, according to a continuation logbook the car was registered to a Mrs. Anne Fletcher of Hillhead, Kilbirnie, Ayrshire. The chassis and majority of the original mechanical components were acquired by a Cyril Herbert of Andover, he embarked on a restoration and built a narrow 2-seater open body based on the design of an original body supplied by the firm. The car then went to Suffolk in 1985 and was used for a short while by the brother of the owner until another early car joined the stable. In the early 1990s a further comprehensive restoration was started but stalled. In 2017 the restoration gathered pace and was passed to a professional restorer who finished the work in March 2018. The body built in the 1950s appears to have been discarded when other period parts were acquired. An original ash frame of unknown make was repaired with new wood where necessary. Original metal parts used include a bonnet, boot lid and driver’s door. The coachwork was then finished in the original dark blue with the interior trimmed in black leather button-back upholstery. The hood sticks are fitted to the car, but a covering will need to be made and fitted. There is also room in the boot for a dickey seat to be fitted to provide extra seating.The car carries a full complement of CAV electric lighting with the correct control panel mounted on the dashboard, and a range of instruments including a Smiths 0-60mph speedometer. Discreetly fitted to the dashboard is a more modern key fitting to operate a starter motor, fitted for ease of starting. This has been fitted so it can be easily removed should a new owner wish to go back to handle start.There is an extensive history file with the car which includes much correspondence with other Straker Squire owners. Although SD 1726 has not been officially dated by the VCC, the car does hold an Events Passport enabling it to be used in their many events. This would have to be renewed by the new owner, but we do not foresee any problems doing this. There is also evidence in the file that the car was presented for formal dating by the VCC, but due to the ongoing restoration at the time the formalities were never completed. A letter from the Late Malcolm Jeal, then Chairman of the Dating Committee, confirms that the Club accepted a valid date of 1913. This process would need to be concluded with the VCC to obtain the Dating Certificate. There are also many copies of period photographs of both touring and racing cars, some old MOT certificates and the aforementioned continuation logbook detailing previous owners. Period literature includes a 1912 15hp sales catalogue, a 1913 catalogue of component parts, a 1910 15hp sales catalogue, a later 1922 sales catalogue, a 1913 Straker Squire lubrication booklet, a framed and glazed original shares certificate and a framed and glazed original advert for the make. Also included in the sale are many useful and unobtainable spares. These include the major part of a 15HP engine, gearbox, complete rear axle, a correct radiator, a couple of wheels as well as two doors from the original destroyed coachwork. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a quality, desirable 4-cylinder English Edwardian motor car which, as well as being useable, would be a welcome addition to VCC events.Estimate: £38,000 - 42,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1999 Suzuki VitaraReg. no. T574 SHUChassis no. VSEETV01V01208139Engine no. TBCTransmission: ManualMileage: 37,533MOT: January 2024 The first generation of Suzuki Vitara had a very successful life span worldwide with production running from 1988 – 1998. Being lightweight, rugged and spacious, it is also more than capable off road, it was the perfect tool for many people. Smooth and useable on the roads but when the bad weather came in or you needed to use it for all-terrain purposes, the AWD and gearbox with high and low ratios would get you about with ease. Being such a versatile vehicle, they have all been well used and very few survive today that have not had a hard life. This 3-door hard top example in blue over silver, a typical 1990s Japanese colour combination, has been with its current owner since 2011. It has exceptionally low mileage at just 37,533 miles with the online MOT history seemingly supporting this.Mechanically the car Is in good order with the 1600cc petrol engine and high/low range on the gearbox working as it should. Although the interior remains in good order the exterior could do with some attention in order to appear more presentable. A great purchase to be used and enjoyed by its new owner with a recent MOT passed, or a great entry level collectors’ car that could well rise in value in the future after some improvement. It is noted that the driver’s side window requires a new mechanism and it would benefit from original mirror glass being fitted.Estimate: £1,500 - £2,500To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

YB 2WD Sierra CosworthTransmission: ManualMileage: 2,200 (Since Restoration) previously Approx. 74,000 Not only was the Mk. 1 a national best seller of the 1960’s, but it will be forever etched in the minds of motorsport fans for being successful in both the rally world and on the race track, in fact, often considered the most successful rally car of all time. By 1974 2 million Mk. 1’s had been built, 60% coming from UK production. Ford were so enthralled in their motorsport success, many competition options were available from factory, especially on AVO cars.This particular car evokes the looks of an early rally car but has a sting in its tail in the form of the later Sierra turbo YB Cosworth engine and running gear. Built from the ground up in recent years, the steel AVO bubble arches are believed to be factory fitted and the car was built on a GT shell. The car Is being sold from a large collection which includes two other Escorts also in our sale. As a result, the car has been well looked after and dry stored since its restoration, only covering just over 2,200 miles in that time.The Ermine white paint with blue Ford Motorsport decals compliment those muscular arches that you would find on many competition cars in period, whilst Compomotive wheels wrapped in track tyres and the iconic 4-spot light front end finish off the motorsport look on the outside. Another rare inclusion on this car are the folding front quarter windows which were fitted on very few Escorts.The louvres cut into the bonnet give passers by the idea that everything may not be quite standard under the bonnet. Within the fresh white engine bay sits a YB Cosworth Turbo, freshly built in 2015 by Lee Marshal Engine Developments. The builder says the engine should be capable of around 450bhp. The build featured RS500 thick wall block, WRC spec cylinder head, BD14 cams and 8:1 ratio pocket pistons. A T35 Garrett turbo with larger internals and ball bearing conversion is mated to the engine. The engine bay really looks the part with a blue rocker cover, blue silicone hoses and a host of alloy parts including a large radiator.Mounted in the boot is an alloy rally fuel tank as well as a motorsport fuelling setup. The rear end is built with a baby atlas axle with Quaife diff, custom 2-piece shafts, Cosworth 4x4 discs and callipers. During the rebuild the 2WD Sierra gearbox was also reconditioned. The car also features AP callipers upfront and Bilstein ‘group 4’ suspension all round. This fantastic example of a Mk. 1 is ready to use on track, road, competition or taken to shows. Not one for the purists but certainly one for the driver with over £50,000 spent on its rebuild.The interior is just as well presented as the exterior with Safety Devices bolt in roll cage, bucket seats, harnesses and Sparco steering wheel. It also includes a motorsport centre dash panel, adjustable brake bias valve and a Race tech 2 digital dash so you can understand what is going on with the engine at all times.The sale includes a current V5C document as well as a large folder of history which includes a vast amount of receipt for parts and servicing, old MOT’s as well as an RAC competition passport from when the car was in GT form with a picture showing it with steel AVO arches even back then. It does look like a passport was issued but the car never competed.Estimate: £28,000 – 32,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1980 Xpack Kitted Ford Escort Mk2 YB CosworthReg. no. DNL 188WChassis no. BBATAA815570Engine no. YB 2WD Sierra CosworthTransmission: ManualMileage: 2,500 (Since Rebuild) 45,101 (Indicated)MOT: April 2023 The Ford Escort Mk. 2 is known worldwide for being one of the best rally cars of all time as well as seeing great success on race circuits as well. Even to this day it is one of the most used rally cars in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This Mk. 2 Ford may not be one for the purists but is certainly one to evoke the thoughts of both blue oval enthusiasts and retro car lovers alike. Sitting Ford Motorsport colours on a Zakspeed style X pack kit, those great box arches make the Mk. 2 so pronounced it looks like it wants to burst out of its own body. The X-Series options were offered by Ford to budding purchasers from the factory with this particular square body kit included, as well as the alteration of the front nose cone for the Mk. 2; although this particular kit is a copy of the original it looks fantastic and is well fitted. Engineer in a turbo Cosworth engine and mount it in a fresh engine bay, you have yourself, arguably one of the coolest retro fords around today. Now being released from a large collection this very car could be yours.The car was originally purchased as a project and built from the ground up to the visual greatness it sits as today. The car has covered less than 2,500 miles since it was built and has been part of car collections with its two previous owners. The impressive spec. includes a YB Cosworth turbo engine with a 3” stainless exhaust system running approximately 280bhp, 2wd running gear from a Sierra Cosworth and a MT75 gearbox. The rear end has had a popular 4-link axle conversion, coilovers fitted and a 2.4 quick rack added. It also sports a rally fuel tank, wildwood brakes with braided brake lines and fuel lines, whilst the car sits on Image alloy wheels. The interior consists of a bolt in roll cage, cobra bucket seats and RS2000 dash clocks.The engine bay is just as stunning as the rest of the car with its clean white finish and the engine with blue rocker cover complimented by silicone hoses and alloy engine parts. Due to little use and being stored in the dry the underside of the car also remains in good order. The boot is filled with rally spec alloy fuel tank and competition fuel system.The sale includes a photograph album of its original build process along with some MOT history and current V5C document showing 11 previous owners.Estimate: £28,000 – 32,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

TBCTransmission: ManualMileage: 33,106MOT: February 2024 The original Land Rover Defender had its final production year in 2015, this is one of those final production 4x4s. Not only is it a last year truck, but it comes in the very unusual heavy-duty pickup guise with just 33,000 miles which is backed up by online MOT history. The HC Pickup was designed to haul heavier payloads than any normal defender and they look fantastic, a sure-fire future classic commercial.This almost completely original Defender features the later 2.2 TDCi engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox which results in the best drive ever from the classic Defender shape. The HC allows for towing of up to 3500kg’s which is useful for those who put them to work, as well as a slightly wider rear bed to carry more goods or equipment.Supplied by Hunter Land Rover in Kings Lyn, this particular Defender is painted in Keswick green with white roof and white steel wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler mud tyres. The body, chassis and paint are in stunning condition with just minor marks and scratches to the inside pickup bed. The truck was believed to be previously used on an estate to haul grain and in its current ownership enjoyed as part of a collection. The grey cloth interior also remains in very good order and mechanically everything works as it should. The underside including chassis and wheel arches are still in near factory condition.The current owner reports that the vehicle is mechanically sound and drives as new but is due a service.

Modern technology was introduced which included hydro-mechanical brakes as well as independent suspension using torsion bars. It is reported that around 10,500 cars were produced.This RME comes from a deceased estate where the gentleman clearly had a love for British cars, it was acquired in 2015 and has been dry stored in current ownership with only occasional use. Despite being MOT exempt it was last MOT’d in 2016 showing 63,000 miles on the odometer. The body and chassis appear to be in good solid condition and the paint appears to just need a good detail and polish to bring it back to its former glory. The leather interior is also in good condition. Having been in storage for some time the car could do with minor recommissioning before it is used again. The car has most recently undergone restoration work in 2020 by Cotswold classic car restorations near Cirencester which included front wing repairs as well as an engine and carburettor service.

The blue paint with red pin stripe appears in good condition and the period alloy wheels really make the car stand out. The interior is also fair for its age whilst the engine and gearbox are reported to be in good working order. The only alteration from factory appears to be the fitting of a tow bar at some point.No longer required by its current owner, they wish to see it go to someone who will love and cherish what is now quite a rare car.

The company was advertised as makers of every-kind of bicycle and tricycle and went on to be the world’s largest manufacturer. When Hillman wanted to start a motor company he turned to a young Breton, Louis Coatalen Chief Engineer at Humber, to form a partnership and design the first cars. In 1907 the Hillman-Coatalen was started and at first offered a 9-litre and a 6-litre car. This was followed by a smaller 2.3 litre in 1908. Coatalen left the firm in 1909 to go to the Sunbeam Car Company. In 1910 the firm dropped the Coatalen name and was known as The Hillman Motor Car Company Ltd.The Minx was launched at the 1931 Olympia Show and was to become their best-known model and became one of Britain’s most popular cars. It was powered by a 1185cc 4-cylinder side valve engine and had a full synchromesh gearbox in 1935. BLY 98 was purchased by the present owner in 2002.  The car was subject to a full restoration, of which there are many photographs on file. The bodywork, which is in generally good condition and sound, was resprayed in blue with black wings, and now shows some signs of patination and the interior trimmed in light tan leather. The owner states that the car drives well, and the mechanics are good.The file contains paperwork going back many years and includes the well documented photographic restoration. The car comes with a current V5C, a number of old MOT certificates, some old tax discs, a buff continuation logbook, receipts for work subcontracted out and a very useful copy of the Manual of the Minx and parts list. The vehicle is of course MOT and tax exempt being registered as a historic vehicle.  There is The Hillman Car Club which caters for cars of this age and arranges a variety of events.Estimate: £4,000 - 6,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

SALLDVBB7FA366495Engine no. 19J21553CTransmission: ManualMileage: 140,613MOT: ExpiredAlthough not initially called the Defender, this iconic model was first produced from 1983 and was simply named the 90 or 110 depending on the wheelbase. After the Series III, Land Rover opted for coil springs for an improved ride, they updated the interior, modernised the exterior and widened the axles amongst other things meaning that their 4x4’s were no longer just works vehicles, but recreational too. This original, unrestored 90 County estate version features fold down rear seats and those iconic County decals on the exterior. It is fitted with the better of the engines available at the time, the 2.5 diesel turbo with a manual gearbox. It has factory County rear side windows and a front middle seat allowing seven people to ride in the truck. The Land Rover is running and driving but considered a project due to needing improvement and some body work attention. The green paint has light corrosion in places whilst the chassis could also do with some welding and at least one of the front strut towers could do with replacing. The interior also requires a good clean. Mechanically the vehicle seems to be sound with a strong engine, gearbox and healthy electrics; a perfect running project for an LR enthusiast. It was last MOT’d in 2021 and digital history shows mileage back to 85,000 miles.

H7TThe Rolls-Royce 20HP was the company’s small car, designed to appeal to owner/drivers, but many were coachbuilt with limousine bodies.

L3443809041SSAHTransmission: ManualMileage: 83,651 milesProduced between 1963-1976 by both the Rootes Group and Chrysler Europe the Super Imp was designed as a small economy family car. It was the first British made car with an aluminium block and head and unusually was mounted in the rear of the car. The little car even held an endurance world record driving from New York to LA in 48 hours, 9 minutes and 54 seconds.With its current owner since 2019, this Imp is original and sat in beige with blue pin stripe and is in useable condition. It has had a new clutch fitted in 2022, a complete set of water hoses, starter motor, battery, fresh water pump and fuel pump as well as five new tyres. The car had previously been stored from 2007-2019 with the previous owner falling ill. Although the shell appears to be solid a couple of the arches could do with some minor restoration work. Mechanically the vendor reports the engine and gearbox to be in good order, but the carburettor could do with a service. The sale includes a current V5 document showing six previous owners and a folder of history, Imp club magazines and a Haynes manual.Estimate: £4,500 - £5,500To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

Its popularity backed up by nearly two decades of production. The majority of cars being powered by the 1800cc B series.This GT coupe comes in a very eye-catching colour and first registered in February of 1972. The exterior presents well with some of the chrome work requiring attention. The engine runs and starts well with the gearbox selecting all gears well from cold. It has had a stainless exhaust system fitted and looks to have recently had the seats and door cards retrimmed. Unusually it also features a sunroof. A very presentable car that looks to be useable as it sits with a bit of fettling to bring it up to a higher standard if the new owner felt necessary.

2003 Aston Martin DB7 ConvertibleReg. no. DC03 YTAChassis no. SCFAB32363K404020Engine no. 04029Transmission: AutomaticMileage: 66,945MOT: January 2024 The Aston Martin DB7, especially in its later guise has become a timeless and beautiful shape even in today’s modern market. The DB7 was fitted with a proper GT engine after 1999, these sleek British built cars had a front mounted 5.9 litre V12 combined with a 5-speed ZF automatic gearbox. The engine produced 420bhp and 400 lb-ft of torque whisking your way to 62mph in just 5.2 seconds. Despite it being the most sold Aston Martin up to the end of production when the DB9 took over, the DB7 is now few and far between, making these more and more collectable, especially cars produced in the last years of its production.This particular Volante has aged well with its Antrim Blue over blue mohair hood exterior and pacific blue over parchment interior, with walnut veneer. Initially supplied and serviced by Stratstone Aston Martin, this example has been garaged in its current ownership as part of a collection and rarely used. Currently sitting at 67,000 miles, it has covered just 2,500 miles in the last seven years.This generation of DB is a fantastic reminder that Aston even in hard times still wanted to show the world that cars could still be built well in Britain. With its engineers still signing off on their work on laser cut badges on engines stating that they were hand built in England.Both the exterior and interior remain in good condition considering the cars age and mileage, it has obviously been well looked after. The history folder includes a host of service stamps from official Aston Martin service centre, Stratstone until 39,500 and then serviced by specialists thereafter. Despite its low usage in recent years, it has still been sent for a service annually and was last carried out at 66,600 miles. The car also comes with various paperwork including old MOTs. The car also includes a current V5C document and will be sold with its original number plate (DC03 YTA).Estimate: £19,000 – 21,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

It was visually very different and a more conventional motorbike than the LE. It had a tubular cradle frame that housed an air cooled, twin carb, overhead valve engine and used a four-speed foot change gearbox but was otherwise mechanically very similar to the LE.This bike comes from a deceased estate and appears to be in fairly original, partially dismantled and in unrestored condition and the engine turns over on the kickstart. It is sold as per the photographs as a project.Comes with – a current V5C, an old MOT certificate that expired in 2015, some registration number transfer details from its original reg that was ‘581 RE’, a photocopy of the owner’s handbook and a key.Estimate: £500 - 800To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

1964 Triumph 21/3TA 350ccReg. no. DJH 125BFrame no. H24871Engine no. 3TA – H24871In 1957 Triumph announced a new machine with a twin cylinder engine that would revive interest in the 350cc class. It was called the ‘Twenty One’ and its most striking feature was the styling of the rear enclosure reminiscent of an old fashioned hip bath, hence the nickname ‘The Triumph Bathtub’.This matching numbers motorbike was completely rebuilt in 2002 when the mileage was 48,911 and this included a new barrel, pistons, rings and the cylinder head was replaced. The crankshaft was reground and fitted with new big end and main bearings and the gearbox was rebuilt with all new bearings. The swinging arm and steering head bearings were renewed as were the main and primary chains. Both wheels were re-spoked onto Dunlop rims and a new rear brake drum was fitted at the same time. New fork seals, a new seat, new indicators, a 12volt conversion and a respray completed the restoration.Purchased by the owner in 2007 the bike has had very little use over the following years and will therefore require recommissioning.Comes with – a current V5C, photocopies of old registration documents and a green continuation logbook, various MOT certificates from 2002 to 2016 and some old receipts and tax discs.Estimate: £3,000 – 4,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on March 5th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU.

CB550E - 2020475Sitting nicely between the CB750 and the CB350, the CB550 had the same features as the 750 right down to the gauges. It was described in the motorcycling press at the time as being one of the best mid-range bikes available due to its light weight, good handling, responsive engine and excellent mechanicals including a newly designed gearbox. Described by the owner as fair to good, although the exhaust system is absent, it was purchased as a restoration project.

1972 Suzuki T350 RebelReg. no. TSX 965KFrame no. T350 - 33144Engine no. T350 - 33144Externally the Rebel T350 is exactly the same size as the 250, with the same chassis, brakes, clean lines and good looks. Where it really differs is in the power delivery which comes in strongly from 3500rpm and from there to 5000rpm is a good place to be for everyday riding. Wind that throttle open past 5000rpm and it really takes off all the way to 8000rpm. Unlike the 250, the very torquey engine means you don’t have to be continually going up and down the six-speed gearbox to make progress. The 1972 Suzuki T350 Rebel was to be the last of the series as it was to be replaced by the GT380 Triple.This rare to the UK market Suzuki Rebel T350 was imported from Ohio USA to France where it was purchased by the present owner, it then returned to the UK and was registered with the DVLA.

Land Rover Series 3 DormobileReg. no. JVV 265TChassis no. UnknownEngine no. TBCTransmission: Manual The Series III was the continuation of Land Rover’s ever popular all-terrain vehicle produced from 1971 – 1985. These 4x4s were offered in various guises based on the 88” and 109” chassis. This particular 109” has had the famous Dormobile conversion we believe carried out ‘in period’. There is a company that still today produce pop top camper conversions for the Land Rover market. The Dormobile converted SIII’s are both rare and sought after which means this Land Rover deserves a full restoration to achieve its proper value.This vehicle was found as part of a house clearance in Bristol and has been sat on a driveway for some time. It has suffered damage from a fire some years ago hence the melted windscreen and battery. Whilst the Dormobile top, interior cabinets, engine and gearbox are present, the bulkhead is rotted, and it requires a new floor amongst other things. With the values of these vehicles increasing and the majority of parts to restore it readily available, this is one for an enthusiastic Land Rover restorer to undertake. It is offered with a V5C.Estimate: £1000 - 1500Listing amendment:It was thought that a gearbox was mounted in the car but this is not the case.

1981 Mercedes-Benz 250T Estate Transmission: automaticMileage:75190Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 in 1976; it is a tribute to the car's instant popularity that nine months after its introduction, a black market had developed in Germany for Mercedes-Benz W123’s available for immediate delivery. Customers willing to order new cars from local authorised dealers faced waiting times in excess of 12 months. Meanwhile, models that were barely used and were available almost immediately commanded a premium over the new price. From August 1977 the long wheelbase versions were produced, available as seven/eight seat saloons with works bodies or as a chassis with complete front body clip, the latter serving as the base for ambulance and hearse bodies by external suppliers like Binz or Miesen. These 'Lang' versions could be ordered as 240D, 300D and 250 models.This superb example is presented in Reinorange with black and white check interior and has only had four previous owners. This highly desirable and durable estate comes with a good history file containing many old invoices and MoT test certificates. It has electric windows all round, factory fitted heated front seats, sunroof, factory fitted radio and a manual gearbox, it also comes with factory fitted air conditioning which is extremely rare. It is apparent from the data sheet that this car was originally manufactured with an automatic transmission but was converted at some point to its manual configuration you see today. These models are highly sought-after and with the mileage showing only 75,190, this must surely be one for the collection or just to be used and enjoyed. We are informed this Mercedes comes to auction with a new MoT test certificate with no advisories. 

1942 Ford Jeep (GPW) Transmission: manualMileage:1849The Willys MB U.S. Army Jeep and the Ford GPW Jeep were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep and inspired many similar light utility vehicles. With America enduring difficult economic times, the U.S. Army instigated a program to modernise its fleet with a 'general purpose, personnel or cargo carrier' especially adaptable for reconnaissance or command and designated as a ¼-tonne, 4x4 truck. Ford Motor Company, American Bantam Car Company and Willys-Overland Motors all competed for the government contract and American Bantam were the initial winners of the bid. However, the U.S. government were keen on standardisation and Willys' production capacity eventually won them the contract. Towards the end of 1941, Willys' facilities couldn't keep up with demand so Ford were contracted to produce the Jeep under licence in addition through to the end of World War II. From 1942-45, Willys produced over 360,000 Jeeps and parts used on Willys' MB Jeeps and Ford GPW Jeeps are completely interchangeable mechanically. This is a truly fantastic opportunity to own an outstanding piece of World War II history. This vehicle was purchased by the previous owner in 2009, he was an ex-British Touring Car Championship driver as well as being a very skilled engineer in his own right and bought the car as a restoration project. He set about lovingly restoring the jeep to the fabulous condition you see today, costing a fortune as this was to be for him to personally enjoy. There are invoices showing a total of circa £11,000 was spent on spares alone, yet the considerable amount of man hours lavished on this Jeep were not accounted for! If this had been calculated, we estimate that this would run into tens of thousands, maybe up to £50,000 (estimate only). Presented in the traditional and immediately recognisable Military Green, every aspect of this Jeep is superb. As part of the restoration, the engine was rebuilt, refurbishing many parts and replacing others including pistons and rods. The gearbox was also rebuilt with new bearing and ancillaries, a new clutch and transfer box. Both the front and rear axle were also restored, in addition to new brakes and master cylinder fitted and all new wiring looms and brake pipes reconfigure. There is a substantial history file containing build information, a photographed timeline of the restoration of which there are 44 photos. This Jeep was inspected by the respected and renown organisation NLBA, which is the Invicta Military Preservation Society based at Royal Air Force Base, Hendon who confirmed that this is a genuine Ford GPW Jeep with the chassis number 22376 and indeed manufactured in April 1942 (confirmation in the history file). This is a true piece of history in exemplary condition.

1990 Fiat X1/9 Gran Finale Transmission: manualMileage:16800The car was originally sold to its first registered keeper in Blackwater, Cornwall who only used the car in dry weather. When they passed away,  the ownership was transferred to his solicitors who never touched or moved the car. It was eventually sold in 2009 and still presented in showroom condition having covered a mere 6,000 miles. Today the Fiat has covered circa 16,800 miles and remains in very good condition with the original Mica Blue paintwork. The underneath is very good and fully Waxoiled. The engine was professionally rebuilt in 2015 at 13,960 miles following a head gasket blow. Other works included the block and head being professionally skimmed, rebored with oversize forged pistons fitted raising the cc to 1518, lightened and balanced bottom end, polished crankshaft, polished cylinder head ports, balanced flywheel, new water pump, new oil pump, new alternator, all cooling hoses replaced, fuel lines replaced, Denso Iridium spark plugs, K&N air filter, engine block blasted and painted. The radiator was re-cored with twin Kenlowe fans and additional manual switch in the cabin. A Lumenition electronic ignition was fitted along with stainless steel brake hoses and the carbs were rebuilt with an original Weber kit. The seats are in excellent condition and look as fresh as when they came out of the factory.This Fiat comes complete with an extensive history file including the original owner’s handbook and brochure, old MoT test certificates and full service and maintenance records. The vendor reports that the Fiat drives as you would expect with the engine, gearbox, suspension, steering and brakes all working as they should. Fitted with the original Grundig radio cassette and offered with a tailored quality indoor car cover, this is a very well-presented Fiat X1/9 and is possibly the best example on the market today.

2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Transmission: automaticMileage:112178The first 996 Series cars arrived on our shores in October 1997 but only in hardtop coupé form. Those who wished to have the wind in their hair had to twiddle their thumbs for another year before the cabriolet versions were launched, as well as Carrera 4 all-wheel drive variants. Both manual and the Tiptronic S automatic gearbox were offered. 2001 saw a revision of the 911 Carrera 2 and 4 ranges, with turbo-look headlamps, revised steering and suspension, some interior upgrades, but most importantly of all, a 3.6 litre engine which developed 320bhp.This attractive example is presented in the subtle colour combination of metallic grey with a grey leather interior. The look is enhanced with a factory fitted Aerokit and orange brake calipers. Equipment includes satellite navigation, air conditioning and a factory fitted sunroof. The car is powered by a 3.6 litre engine and is mated to a Tiptronic gearbox. The vendor informs us that this Porsche is a joy to drive and has been totally reliable during his tenure. It comes with a stamped service book, a comprehensive MoT test history, various invoices and all the original manuals. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate, this impressive Porsche represents high end sports car motoring at a fraction of the original cost.
