1974 Lamborghini Espada Series III Transmission: manualMileage:19989The 1967 Geneva Motor Show event saw the unveiling of the sensational Lamborghini Marzal. A concept car which was seen as an approach to a four-seat Lamborghini. A forerunner for the successful distinct Espada. Named after a matador's sword, the Espada was styled along lines similar to those of the concept Marzal but carried a 4.0 litre V12 up front, first seen in the 400GT and Islero. Introduced in January 1970, the Series II cars came with an extra 25bhp, 155mph top speed, an improved dashboard layout and the option of power assisted steering. The dashboard was revised yet again in late 1972 for the Series III, which also incorporated power steering as standard, up-rated brakes, minor suspension improvements, and a restyled front grille. Espada production ceased in 1978 after 1,217 of these imposing cars had been built. Even today there are few cars that can match the on-road presence of the Espada.First registered new in South Africa on 1st June 1974, this remarkably original Espada found its way to the UK in 2014. Having not been subjected to the British climate for most of its life, the bodywork is incredibly solid. Unlike so many Espada's, this car retains many of the incredibly rare trim parts, so often lost or removed from cars. Parts like the bumpers, windscreen surrounds, rear screen rubber, steering wheel and fuse box cover have all survived and remain with the car. After the car's import to the UK, it was sent to the highly regarded Lamborghini expert Colin Clarke Engineering, who went through the car servicing and repairing whatever was required. £12,000 was spent with Colin Clarke in 2015 having this service, before having a further £4,350 spent in 2016 with SMDG Ferrari in Cranleigh. Another £660 was spent back with Colin Clarke in 2020 to have the car's carburettors set up and the engine tuned. The brakes were also rebuilt in 2020 by the then owner before the car was sold to the vendor, who has enjoyed it as part of his collection ever since. Indeed, these wonderful Lamborghini V12 engines sound fabulous when accelerating - so evocative!Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, owner's handbook, sales brochure and file of receipts. The guide price offers incredible value for money when compared to the cost of restoration and it is unusual to find an Espada that is both so solid and original. Presenting very well, this lovely Lamborghini is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

1990 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:1147791975 saw the launch of the Jaguar XJS. In a year that Margaret Thatcher was made the leader of the Conservative Party and petrol was 70p/gallon, the new grand tourer from Jaguar was introduced as the replacement for the iconic E-Type. During an astonishing build run of 21 years, 115,413 units were produced by the Coventry manufacturer at their world famous Browns Lane factory. V12 engine cars were unusual at the time with notable exceptions coming from Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The specifications of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143mph.  The XJS model was available until production ceased in 1996. This lovely 1990 Jaguar XJS convertible is showing 114,779 miles on the odometer, finished in the classic colour of British Racing Green over a contrasting pale green leather interior, and benefits from the desirable Lattice alloy wheels. Included in the file are previous MoT test certificates, maintenance invoices, a current MoT test certificate valid until 25th April 2023 and the original service and workshop booklets. Also present is the original toolkit and the spare wheel. A nicely presented example of the flagship 5.3 litre V12 XJS, which has established itself as a most worthy, latter-day, classic.Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and including the cherished number plate KIW 5199.This Jaguar is offered without reserve.Interested parties please note this car has developed a coolant leak and which will need attention before it can be driven.

1991 Miura Replica Sports by Prova Designs Registration no. Q818 GHG Chassis no. 0001 Engine no. To be advised•Originally built in 1991•Reconfigured in 2022 with a Ferrari 348tb/ts engine and gearbox•Not tested in its current specification•Requires finishingFootnotes:Miura prices have been on a relentlessly steepening curve for years, putting the car far out of reach of all but the most wealthy enthusiasts. As is so often the case with such exotica, the only way for the average enthusiast to enjoy them, or at least a close approximation, is a replica. Replicas of the Miura, however are relatively few. This example is the work of Prova Designs, who built approximately 55 between 1989 and 2002, and is chassis number '0001'. The car was originally constructed in 1991 with a Renault V6 engine and gearbox but was reconfigured in 2022 with the 300bhp 3.4-litre V8 power unit from a 1992 Ferrari 348tb/ts, complete with that model's transverse gearbox. The car has not been used on the road since and thus the transmission has not been tested. Finished in white with a custom-made red leather interior featuring Lamborghini 'raging bull' headrest logos, the car requires finishing and currently lacks an exhaust system. Accompanying documentation consists of sundry bills, a recently expired MoT, and a V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 452

Extremely rare and desirable. Finished in gleaming Nero, this is one of only three UK right-hand drive examples fitted with a manual gearbox. These models represented the final opportunity to buy a naturally-aspirated, manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive Lamborghini.Valentino Balboni started working for Lamborghini on 21 April 1968, as an apprentice mechanic working his way up through the company until his retirement in 2009. In the 1980s, he was the only test driver who was simultaneously employed in prototype development, production and customer service at Lamborghini becoming the face of the brand and an ambassador for the company. In the 1990s, SantAgata began production of the Diablo and prominent customers in the USA, Japan and the Arab states often insisted on meeting Balboni in person, to hear about their new car directly from the chief test driver.Today, Balboni leads the life of an elder statesman and, despite retiring, he is still proud to be known worldwide as Mister Lamborghini, a witness to both the founding era of Ferruccio Lamborghini and to the age of carbon fibre. Anyone who has ever sat beside him in the passenger seat, their palms sweaty and their heart pounding, will never forget the experience.At the time of his retirement, the factory honoured their main man with a personal limited-edition of 250 that offered him a free hand to encapsulate all his favourite driving characteristics in one model. Based on the Gallardo 550, the LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni is rear-wheel drive, reducing the curb weight by 30 kg to 1,470 kg. The engine is rated at 542bhp and Lamborghini claims the Balboni can reach a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph) and despatch 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds.Upon its release in 2009, the vehicle was sold out immediately as, apart from being a stunning limited-edition celebrating a much-loved man, the Balboni was the first rear-wheel drive Lamborghini model for over 10 years and a unique opportunity to option a manual gearbox car.This, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car is one of only three UK-supplied Balbonis with the desirable manual gearbox finished in Nero and just 16,800 miles have been covered from new in the hands of its five careful owners.The specification for this particular example includes 19" Scorpius Multi-Spoke Alloy Wheels, Gloss Black Calipers, Satellite Navigation, Lifting Kit, Reversing Camera, Multi-Function Flat Bottom Leather Steering Wheel, Dual Climate Control and much more. It benefits from a Lamborghini service history completed at the following intervals:Lamborghini London:03/09/10 at 3,454 miles24/11/11 at 5,832 miles09/01/13 at 6,188 miles27/01/14 at 7,940 miles12/03/15 at 10,856 milesLamborghini Manchester:24/02/16 at 11,924 milesLamborghini London:24/04/19 at 16,200 milesLamborghini Birmingham:16/03/2021 at 16,648 milesFinished in Nero Noctis with full Nero Perseus leather interior with Balboni signature stripes and a centre console in Bianco Polar, this Special Edition is now ready for its next owner to join the very exclusive club of manual-gearbox Balboni ownership.A manual, rear-wheel drive, normally-aspirated, V10 is one for the pure driving enthusiast. It is also important to remember that this car was the last chance for customers to own a normally aspirated, rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox Lamborghini - the ultimate drivers experience from Sant'Agata.NB: The car has been the property of Silverstone Auctions Managing Director, Nick Whale, for the last two years. SpecificationMake: LAMBORGHINIModel: GALLARDO LP 550-2 ‘VALENTINO BALBONI’Year: 2010Chassis Number: ZHWGE52VXALA09482Registration Number: LJ59 GFATransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Nero PerseusClick here for more details and images

Lot 475

Purchased by Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in 1979 and owned by the family until 2012.When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door version of the Silver Shadow in 1966, the international jet set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. These hugely desirable motorcars began to change hands at significant premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords and Aspinalls. The Drop Head Coupé that followed in 1967 was even more exclusive, and waiting lists ran for years. Rolls-Royce could not have predicted the Swinging Sixties, or those who profited from this new era, and demand for the convertible came from all strata of monied society, the most vocal of which were heard on the radio. It was practically a law that celebrity Rolls-Royce owners had to be pictured alongside their car, and the convertible Rolls was the most coveted of all.If given the choice whilst on holiday in France, most would prefer to visit a discothèque rather than a bibliothèque, and the launch of “disco” in 1970 was a revolution. For the first time, strangers could dance on a multi-coloured dancefloor to up-beat music with a heavy dose of sexy electric guitar, both parties strutting their stuff without, quite frankly, Edwardian values of decorum. If there was one band that defined this new era of disco it was the Bee Gees, providing not one but three headline tracks to the quintessential disco film of the 1970s, Saturday Night Fever. One song, Night Fever, is often played as the anthem of the decade. As one third of the Bee Gees, Maurice Gibb was one of the most successful and highly paid of the era, enabling him to indulge his passion for Rolls-Royce motor cars.By the late-1970s, demand for the Corniche Convertible, as now named, was even more ferociously high than the previous decade, and second hand cars were highly sought after, impatiently in demand by the super rich. These sums are often mythologised and exaggerated but the accompanying carbon copy Bill of Sale from 1979 confirms these eye watering prices. When Maurice Gibb walked into the H.R. Owen showroom at Melton Court in South Kensington on the 17th April 1979 and saw this 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible in Masons Black with a St. James red leather interior showing 30,214 miles, he parted with the incredible sum of £35,000. Bearing in mind that this was a six-year old car with 30,000 miles, he paid over three times the car’s list price when new, or double the price of a contemporary Ferrari 308 with change left over for a brand new Ford Capri!Maurice Gibb’s love affair with the Rolls-Royce started in the 1960s, famously photographed with the band looking through the window of Jack Barclay’s Mayfair showroom in 1968, various period snaps show Mr Gibb impeccably tailored in white alongside a Cloud Convertible or astride the bonnet of his Silver Shadow. Perhaps it was either his affection for this Corniche or the desire to get his money’s worth that saw the car remain as part of his collection until his sudden passing on the 12th January 2003, with the car remaining in the family until 2012. Those familiar with celebrity cars may note that most cars only enjoy a few years of ownership until traded in against newer models, and a thirty-three year family connection is very rare. So beloved was this Corniche, that Mr Gibb was photographed arriving in the Corniche at a press junket in 2001, gallantly aiding his wife Yvonne out of the rear seat, copies of which are on file.The car was nicknamed 'Rosie' and the private registration '3829 MG' issued to the car in period, and is generously included in the sale, as are the monogrammed over-mats. The Corniche’s current V5C show a number of previous registered keepers, which included Mr Gibb personally, his company and family members. An accompanying declaration on file, signed by Mr Gibb’s brother-in-law and personal assistant of thirty-years is dated 23rd July 2012 and confirms the car’s history. This declaration states regular servicing and MOT records show that the car’s mileage in July 2012 was 48,013 miles. Under new ownership, the Corniche benefited from some £24,000 of maintenance and servicing by Royce Motor Services of Gloucester between 2012 and 2019.Purchased on the 8th June 2021 by our vendor from a leading Rolls-Royce specialist, a purchase he readily agrees was on impulse, the car joined his fleet of modern motorcars, many of which are current model Rolls-Royces, and as an international businessman with limited time for classic motoring, his Lamborghini Miura would take precedence over the rest of his Collection. With recent expenditure of £10,000 the Corniche is presented to auction with an upgraded interior, dark red mohair power hood, a mileage of some 52,919 miles at the time of cataloguing and a history file that includes not only the aforementioned carbon copy Bill of Sale and signed declaration, but a note from a chap who confirms he use to wash the car for Mr Gibb on a Saturday morning!Considered the most attractive version of the Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, the chrome bumpered cars produced between 1971 and 1977 only number a total of 1,232 in both right and left-hand drive, with very few in Masons Black. Questionable colour combinations of the era have often split opinion but few would argue that this Corniche’s combination is a perfect blend of Seventies retro, sleek black and funky red.In conclusion, classic cars should be fun, enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike, and we defy anyone not to arrive at a destination with the roof down and a Bee Gees hit blaring, whether the high notes are accurately hit or not.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1973Chassis Number: DRH14555Registration Number: 9829 MGTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 14555Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 52919 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied as one of just 67 right-hand drive cars, coming from 19-year ownership, and just 18,000km with a recent service.Designing a successor to the delicious Lamborghini Miura was something of a challenge for Marcello Gandini, however, with the arrival of the Countach in 1971, he demonstrated to the world that his ability to create automotive drama was alive and well. In fact, the word Countach is Piedmontese slang for something that visually shocks and has no direct translation but 'wow' is probably the most polite. The first Countach appeared at the Geneva Show in 1971. Big, bright and brash like the rest of the 70s, the Countach was to remain in production, through various iterations for 16 years. With hindsight, it's clear that the car's flying wedge design, with a sloping snout that appeared to descend directly from the windscreen, and innovative scissor doors, became a template for every supercar that followed.The original, beautifully clean profile was gradually bedecked with wings and things as fashions changed over the years, and frequent small mechanical changes were often the result of customer input in their capacity as unwitting development engineers. However, by the time Lamborghini was 25 years old and the Countach Anniversary was introduced in 1988, the majority of these teething troubles were in the past. The Anniversary was effectively a new Countach, mechanically very similar to the 5000QV but sporting much-changed styling courtesy of Horatio Pagani. The rear air boxes were restyled and enlarged, while the vents behind them were changed so that they ran front-to-back instead of side-to-side. In addition, a new air dam and side skirting, both with air intakes, were fitted, and the taillights restyled to be narrower, with body-coloured panels replacing the upper and lower parts of the previous larger lights.These styling changes were striking on the 17-year-old design and had the added benefit of improving the engine's cooling, a problem with which the powerful Countach had always struggled. The Countach also featured 345/35R15 tyres, the widest available on a production car at the time. The factory only anticipated a limited demand but the sheer talent of this mature development meant that it actually became the most prolific Countach ever with 658 being built of which only 67 were finished in right-hand drive.This example is one of those 67 right-hand drive cars and was supplied by Portman Lamborghini of Marylebone, London and first registered on the 31st of July 1989. Finished in Rosso Savaglia with Crema hide, the car’s service and maintenance record is impeccable, as evidenced in the service book and reams of receipts. When our vendor purchased this car on the 13th September 2002, he became only its third owner, remarkably low ownership for a thirty-three year old supercar but we do find that Countach owners tend to keep their cars longer than their contemporaries from other manufacturers and in fact this was our Vendor's second Countach, having covered over 50,000 miles in its predecessor. The Alpine cassette-radio is in full working order linked to its electric aerial and the car benefits from a factory fitted sports exhaust, more powerful air-conditioning and a newly designed steering wheel.As with all Lamborghinis of this era, the odometer reading is in kilometres and shows 17,592 km or just 10,931 miles at the time of cataloguing. Our vendor is moving abroad and trimming his important collection of supercars and presents the car to auction in a simply stunning condition. The detailed history file includes recent maintenance, servicing and clutch works for a total of £25,000. We welcome any inspection of this very special motor car.SpecificationMake: LAMBORGHINIModel: COUNTACHYear: 1989Chassis Number: ZA9C005A0KLA12717 Registration Number: G546 SGTTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 12717 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 17592 KMMake: RHDInterior Colour: Crema LeatherClick here for more details and images
