1976 Porsche 911 Targa 2.7 SRegistration no. MHY 94PChassis no. 9116211656Odometer reading: 108,887MOT: Exempt*LHD US-spec example*Extensive recent history*Full engine rebuild in 2014Footnotes:For the 1974 model year, the Porsche 911 received its first design overhaul since its introduction in 1964. This included a raised bumper design with black plastic bellows, as well as a new red panel with the Porsche logo embedded between the rear light cluster. In 1974, the 911 was also available with a new 'ducktail' spoiler design, which was optional in Europe but became standard on all US-spec models.This 1976 Porsche 911S Targa is a US specification example that is equipped with the 2.7-litre 173bhp flat-six engine. It comes with an extensive recent history from its purchase in Pennsylvania by the vendor in July 2013. The vehicle was found to be in good condition with no signs of corrosion. Once the car arrived in the UK it was given to a trusted Porsche specialist WrightTune, who undertook significant work including a full vehicle check and an engine and gearbox service. It was also prepared for UK road safety laws, which included replacing the rear light lenses with European specification and head lamp glass with UK beam pattern.In August 2014 a full engine rebuild was also undertaken. This was due to smoke from the exhaust on over run and during hard acceleration. Following the rebuild the engine is now running and driving very well and as it should. Other work on the car includes a full Targa top refurbishment. There is good history with the car and it comes with its original owner's manual and service book. The service book is void of stamps however, so it is believed to be a replacement. The bodywork, paintwork and interior all present very well. This is an excellent and usable example of a modern classic Porsche.Vendor Score Total: 79/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1957 Jensen 541S CoupéRegistration no. 883 UYSChassis no. 5411793197Odometer reading: N/AMOT: Exempt *Rare Jensen 541S*Good history file*Previously restored*Sold for recommissioningTo view a video of this lot please click hereFootnotes:The Jensen 541S was a luxurious variation of the 541 and is a beautiful and rare GT. Powered by either a 4.0-litre Austin straight-six engine or 5,353cc Chrysler V8, the 541R also had lightweight construction, and thus performed exceptionally well with its four-speed manual gearbox. This combination is thought to have suited the car with its luscious interior and powerful engine, making longer journeys almost effortless. It is believed that only 127 541Ss were made, and as a result the car is now exceptionally rare. This 1957 example is an original UK car equipped with the 4.0-litre Austin engine, and is known to have spent much of its time in South Africa. There's a large history file with the car that shows its ownership by a single family between 1982 and 2016. It is an older, restored example and it's believed to have been restored whilst in South Africa. Its original registration number is also noted as UVR 541. Overall, the exterior and interior are in good order but could be brought up to a higher standard. The engine is also reported to be running and driving, but following a period of inactivity, recommissioning is recommended prior to returning the car to active use. The history file includes various Jensen books, old bills and expired MOTs.Vendor Score Total: 61/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1965 Fiat Autobianchi BianchinaRegistration no. JGU 39OCChassis no. 110B082800Odometer reading: TBAMOT Expiry: Exempt*Very original example*Formally exhibited in the Fiat Museum*Rebuilt engineBased on the original Fiat 500, the Autobianchi Bianchina debuted in 1957 as a small yet sophisticated car that was offered in saloon, cabriolet, estate and van configurations. This 1965 example, presented in an excellent condition, was exhibited in the Fiat 500 museum in Garlenda on the Italian Riviera before its life in the UK. Since its arrival and previous ownership, the car has been kept very well and has been serviced regularly by its enthusiast owner, who purchased the car at the Bonhams 2016 Goodwood members meeting. Prior to the vendors ownership, the vehicle was kept as part of a private collection and used sparingly and solely for the summer. This is a very original example that is thought to be one of the cleanest and unmolested Bianchina's left on the road. The previous owner undertook an engine rebuild of its original 499cc engine, which required work due to brittle gaskets. During the rebuild the engine was bored out from 67.4mm to 70mm to give it a little extra power. The bodywork, bumpers and all the external and internal features are believed to be original. Even the windscreen stickers and supplying dealer sticker (Commissionaria Autobianchi, Ginno Nanni, Pistoria, Italia) are still in place. The car also comes with its original owner's manual, Italian service book and registration documents, spare key, copy correspondence, V5C, and photographs of its time in the museum.

Space... Pace'. The 3.8 in particular was the ultimate version of the MK2 and was powered by the renowned 3.8-litre straight-six engine that produced 220bhp.

Originally finished in Blue with a Grey interior, it is believed to have been last taxed and on the road in 1983. The car will need a full restoration and the exterior bodywork, paint, interior and engine bay areas will require particular attention.

DB6/2544/ROdometer: 77,710Mot expiry: Exempt*Offered without reserve*Last-of-the-line model*Five-speed manual gearbox*Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:'Stage by stage, as the DB has become dominant in the Aston Martin strain, the successive cars have changed their image. Today the aim is to offer the maximum of luxury and refinement as well as the ultimate in road performance. The minor barbarities of so many great sports cars of the past are no longer acceptable – at least in the hand built models now leaving Newport Pagnell. Obviously such a car as the DB6 is expensive and exclusive but the value matches the price.' – Autocar, 1966. Last-of-the-line models have always fascinated collectors, and none more so than the Aston Martin DB6. A desirable manual transmission model, this DB6 was retailed by the Arnold G Wilson Ltd agency and sold new to Carl C Rosen Esq of York. The copy guarantee form shows that the car left the factory equipped with the 3.73:1 rear axle; a limited-slip differential; chrome wheels; a heated rear screen; and a power operated aerial. The original colour scheme was Autumn Gold (the same colour that appeared on the DB5 offered by Bonhams at the Festival of Speed sale earlier in the month) with black Connolly leather interior, and the DB6 was first registered as 'PVY 1'. The current owner purchased the car in the USA in 2007 and laid up in long-term storage. Copies of the old Arizona Certificate of Tile and the sale/purchase paperwork are on file together with the aforementioned guarantee form copy. As the car has spent a period of time in storage it will require re-commissioning at the very least before returning to the road. Certain to attract interest as being offered without reserve, this manual-transmission DB6 is sold as viewed and subject to the reduced import tax of 5% should it remain in the UK.Vendor Score Total: 55/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1999 BMW M5 (E39) Sports SaloonRegistration no. H8 MDVChassis no. WBSDE92020BJ10095Odometer reading: 93,900MOT: 27/06/2022*Good condition*6-speed manual*Full service historyFootnotes:The E39 BMW M5 is becoming increasingly sought after in the modern classic car market, and for good reason. Upon its release in 1998, the E39 M5 redefined what it meant to be a BMW supersaloon, and it featured a brand new 394bhp 4.9-litre S62 V8 engine – a first for the M5. However it wasn't just the new engine that took the car forward, but it was also under the skin with its mechanical limited slip differential, McPherson front suspension (with aluminium control arms) and multi-link rear set-up that could easily handle the M5's new found power. The E39 is often thought of as being the last mechanical and truly engaging iterations of the M5, and it was the last generation in the UK to be offered with a manual transmission. This 1999 M5 is a six-speed manual example and is presented in excellent condition. Finished in Anthracite Grey with a red leather interior, both the interior and exterior of the car present very well considering its mileage of 93,900 miles. The car comes with a full service history and has been very well maintained. It features all its original handbooks including a fully stamped service book with 11 stamps up until its last service in 2019. The book is also filled with multiple old bills and receipts to verify its maintenance. It has also just received a fresh MOT with expiry in June 2022 as well as a brake line overhaul, and it also comes with a V5c. This is an excellent example of a one of the greatest BMW M cars ever produced.Vendor Score Total: 89/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1996 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet SportlineRegistration no. N56 PUVChassis no. WDB1240662C288988Odometer reading: 136,900MOT Expiry: September 2021*One owner from new Mercedes A124 Cabriolet*Refurbished in 2006*Mercedes specialist servicingTo view a video of this lot please click hereFootnotes:The Mercedes W124 is renowned for being one of most well-engineered Mercedes of all time, and is famous for its bank-vault build quality and reliability. The styling is also the embodiment of Mercedes from the 1980s and 1990s, and it harks back to an era of understated style with its smooth lines, squared grille and three-pointed star bonnet ornament. The cabriolet, also known as the A124, was first launched in 1991 as the 320CE and 300CE, however these were later re-designated as the E320 in 1993. This later 1996 example is a one owner car from new and was initially leased via a leasing company in June 1996. It was originally specified to a high standard and includes the factory Sportsline package, heated leather seats and wind deflector. The car has been very well looked after throughout its lifetime, and the bodywork, paintwork and interior are all in very good condition. An overall refurbishment was also undertaken in 2006, which included fitting two new front wings and a new roof. Recent work includes a new wiring loom which was fitted in September 2020 (invoice available). The central locking however is currently not working and will require some attention. There is a good history file included with the car with regular servicing at Mercedes specialists, and the 3.2-litre straight-six engine is proof of this and is running and driving very well. The original handbook and Mercedes owner's manual are also included with the first aid package, tools and warning triangle. One owner examples of the W124 and A124 are very hard to come by, and this is an excellent and well-cared for example.Vendor Score Total: 75/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

2007 Piaggio APE TM Tipper Transmission: manualMileage:2370The Piaggio Ape is a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle manufactured and marketed by Piaggio as an adaption of the company's Vespa Scooter. In continuous production since its 1948 introduction, it is offered in numerous body configurations to serve a wide range of utilitarian functions. The Ape was initially marketed as the VespaCar or TriVespa, but Piaggio subsequently marketed the utility vehicle just as the Ape, the word being derived from the Italian for ‘Bee’; its scooter marketed as the Vespa, meaning ‘Wasp’.Currently two model ranges are offered; the ‘Ape 50’ with a 49.8cc petrol engine and the larger ‘Ape TM’ which comes available with a 218cc petrol engine. On offer here is the larger TM version with its 218cc engine. Whilst not a motorway contender, it does give the little tipper plenty of power to haul around whatever you may wish. Its flashing orange hazard light above the cabin, fitted by its first owners, Essex County Council, was presumably fitted to warn other road users of urgent Essex Council business! As a council vehicle this little Ape is fully UK registered, something which can be problematic for such vehicles with today’s modern safety standards. The tipper bed is hydraulically operated, making for easy removal of whatever load it may contain. Both the ‘TM’ and ‘Classic’ models can carry 700 to 805 kg (1543 to 1775 lb), with fuel consumption for the Ape TM model being about 71 miles per gallon so, whilst not fast, it is very cheap to run. Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, this little Tipper would make for a fun little runabout or a great promotional vehicle for your company. Either way you can imagine being a charming Italian, driving around Rome or Lake Como, chatting and stopping for a coffee with everyone you see on your rounds.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Shepherds Hut Transmission: manualMileage:Historians have traced shepherd’s huts back to 1596, where an early text reads ‘the Shepheard hath his cabbin going upon a wheel for to move here and there at his pleasure’. They were a familiar site on the downlands of Southern England, existing as an important part of country people’s lives. The most famous shepherds hut in history is described by Dorset novelist Thomas Hardy in the opening chapters of Far from the Madding Crowd.In recent years the traditional Shepherds hut has become the must have garden accessory. This delightful example certainly fits the bill. A far cry from the original models, this version is wired and ready to be plugged into the mains. Easily moved on large tyres, this useful hut is pleasantly decorated and would be a delight in any garden as an office, guest bedroom or child’s den. Offered to auction without reserve.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 Transmission: manualMileage:49935The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium size saloon built from 1959 to 1969 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre models which were manufactured between 1957 and 1959. It was a handsome, powerful and good handling saloon which was offered with a choice of three six-cylinder twin cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. After the appreciation of the Mk.I, Jaguar’s successor was well received making a good car even better. Similar in appearance, but with a bigger glass area, it boasted a wider track to improve road holding together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and all-round disc rather than drum brakes. Raced by all the top drivers of the day including Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk. II has scored victories throughout saloon car races in the sixties and was also raced across Europe in the Tour De France and Monte Carlo rally.Originally registered on 17th June 1965, this 3.8 litre version of the Jaguar S-Type looks good in the classic colour combination of Old English White with red leather interior. This traditional look is enhanced with whitewall tyres. The interior of this S-Type has benefitted from being retrimmed at some point and displays the glorious walnut veneered dashboard and door cappings which is synonymous with classic Jaguars of this period. The S-Type was a popular car with police forces throughout the country due to the models brisk performance and good road-holding. This desirable manual gearbox example features overdrive and when requested, the 3.8 litre engine fired into life. The vendor has invoices for a front brake, master cylinder and handbrake overhaul and also for an engine service, re-sealing of the steering box and carburettor overhaul. The rear subframe has also been out and new bushes fitted, both fuel tanks have been removed and overhauled, painted and weather proofed. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, these handsome Jaguar’s always create interest when offered to auction.Guide £10,000-£14,000 Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1996 TVR Chimaera Clubman (4.0 litre HC) Transmission: manualMileage:3603TVR was an independent British manufacturer of sports cars and until 2006, it was based in the seaside town of Blackpool. The company manufactured lightweight sports cars with powerful engines and was, at one stage, the third largest specialised sports car manufacturer in the world offering a diverse range of coupés and convertibles. TVR's are composed of tubular steel frames, cloaked in fibreglass bodywork. The two arms of the company were TVR Engineering, which manufactured sports cars, and TVR Power, their powertrain division. The company has, regrettably, had a turbulent recent history and has not made any new cars since 2006. In July 2012, owner Nikolay Smolensky announced that, despite analysing various potential plans to create a new car, building a new TVR model was not going to be financially viable, despite promising to do so when buying the company, and thus TVR's existence as a car manufacturer was brought to an end. The Chimera was intended to be the long distance tourer of the range and as such was longer, more spacious and had slightly softer suspension than its sister car.This lovely example was imported from Japan and is presented in metallic grey with grey leather interior and a black manually operated hood. It has covered a remarkable 3,603 miles from new which must make this car probably the lowest mileage example on the market today. Its beefy 4.0 litre, 275 BHP High Compression V8 engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox and it has electric windows and air conditioning. These high performance cars are not for the faint hearted, particularly as this is the Clubman model which has a limited slip differential and no power steering – exhilarating!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Ford Capri 1.6 GT Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:28220The Ford Capri was the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind-boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be, just like the Mustang. The Capri was, in fact, a far more varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to 3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The most popular powerplant was the 1600cc straight six Kent engine. The Capri was released to the press on 24th January 1969 at the Brussels Motor Show. The Capri caused a sensation and would stay in production for 18 years, 1969 to 1987.This Mk. I Capri was imported from South Africa and presents well in Amber Gold with a contrasting black vinyl interior. We are informed that this Capri benefitted from an earlier restoration in 2014 by the son of the man who originally purchased the car. The looks of this Capri are complemented by some impressive mechanical upgrades to its original engine, which include high compression pistons, a fast road camshaft, a ported cylinder head and a four-branch exhaust manifold. The engine fired up on demand and sounds fantastic. The drive is through a five-speed Sierra gearbox conversion and we are told it is very good. As collectables in the classic car market place, interest in the Ford Capri, in all guises, has recently climbed strongly. This classic is presented with a V5C registration document,a detailed account of the restoration, its original stamped service book, some original advertising material and offered with a sensible estimate.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1967 Volkswagen Beach Buggy Transmission: manualMileage:61177A Dune or Beach Buggy is a recreational motor vehicle with large wheels and wide tyres, designed for use on beaches or the desert. Popularity peaked in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with the Volkswagen Beetle, nicknamed ‘Bug’ (hence ‘Buggy’) which were most commonly used for the platform. Ideal because the rear engine layout improves traction, the air-cooled engine avoids the complexities and failure points associated with water-cooled units. Dune buggies generally came with fiberglass bodies. The original dune buggy was the 1964 Meyers Manx built by classic constructor, Bruce Meyers, using a Volkswagen Beetle chassis.This eye catching example looks well in bright metallic blue with a contrasting white interior. Offered to auction with a cover and side panels, these Volkswagen engined buggy’s are enormous fun and we are told that this is no exception. The buggy fired into life when requested and would be ideal for summer fun. Potential buyers should note that the V5C registration document for this car has been mislaid and a replacement has been applied for from the DVLA.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1930 Ford Model A Transmission: manualMileage:78858The 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 gearshift. The engine was a water cooled in-line four-cylinder arrangement with a capacity of 3.2 litres or 2.2 litres. With a conventional three speed gearbox, (plus reverse), the top speed was around 65mph. Stopping power was by four-wheel drum brakes operated by rods. In addition to manufacturing in the United States, Ford made the Model A in Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and the United Kingdom. The 1930 and 1931 models were offered with exterior door handles, stainless steel radiator cowlings and headlight housings.This nice example of this US classic is presented in beige and black with a new grey velour interior. The present owner had the engine overhauled, installing a new head gasket, plugs and a new distributer. It has a Model B head which has improved its performance by 10mph! There is a large history file with the car which runs well according to the vendor. Tax and MoT exempt, this example is offered at no reserve and a classic saloon from the prohibition era which is fun and can take the whole family! Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1952 Morris Minor Transmission: manualMileage:51781The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show on 20th September 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, over 1.3 million examples were manufactured from 1948-1971 and, indeed, the 1,000,000th example was sold by Historics in 2015. Initially available as a two-door saloon and convertible, the range was subsequently expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950 and wood-framed estate. Other changes included a modified dashboard layout with toggle switches, textured steel instrument binnacle and larger convex glove box covers. A different heater completed the interior upgrade whilst the larger, more modern combined front side/indicator light units, common to many BMC vehicles of the time, were fitted to the front wings.Detail on what appears to be the original buff logbook reveals that this 1952 Split Screen Morris Minor was supplied on 8th October to a Frank Newton of Georgeham, Devon and still retains the registration OTA 264. Presented in beautiful black coachwork with blood red trim, this example was treated to a full restoration in the early to mid 90’s by Autokraft, Brooklands (better known for their work on the Autokraft Cobra) and presents as if this was done just last year. This Series MM built example has been a stalwart of local shows and a regular attendee at Brooklands events and has been cherished for decades. Within the history file are countless MoT certificates, a photobook from Autokraft from the full restoration, the accompanying bills and receipts and of course the original buff log book alongside the new V5C registration document. Certainly, one of the best we have seen with fabulous history and, as an early split screen example, very desirable.Guide Price £10,000 - £15,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1957 Land Rover Series I Transmission: manualMileage:1627In the aftermath of the second world war, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a ‘demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle, however, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. This is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947, they would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948 and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply.Originally registered on 1st July 1957, this Land Rover has been owned by the current registered keeper since 2009. Fitted with a 3.5 litre V8 engine this Series I is a good genuine example. Bearing some battle wounds although running and driving well, some would say this is their preferred condition for a Land Rover. Finished in the traditional colour combination of green with black interior and a beige canvas roof. These exceptionally robust vehicles always attract attention whether outside the local pub or two feet deep in mud. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 14th April 2022 confirming the roadworthiness of this Land Rover.Guide £10,000-£12,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1960 MG A Mk. I 1600 Transmission: manualMileage:1132When the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become used to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. The MGA was a complete departure in styling for MG. Its beautiful streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance and it was powered by a new engine as MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day. The MGA was powered by the much more modern B-series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette saloon. MG enthusiasts had been given a hint of what was to come as early as 1951 when George Phillips drove a re-bodied TD Midget in the Le-Mans 24 hour endurance race. The car had been built for him by MG following his successes with his own TC, which had been fitted with a lightweight two-seat race car style body. So different was the appearance of his new TD racer, that it must have been difficult to believe that it was actually a venerable TD Midget underneath! It was a road-going version of the Phillips car which had been proposed to BMC in 1952 as a replacement for the TD Midget, but had been turned down because of the corporation's decision to build the Austin-Healey 100. MG had gone as far as building a full prototype of the MGA by using TD running gear, the 1250 XPAG engine, a re-designed chassis, and the MGA bodywork. When it eventually became clear that the TF Midget was a bit of a lame duck and would have to be replaced, the new MG sports car was finally given the chance it deserved. The delay in production had one advantage in that it allowed MG to refine the design and install the much newer 1489cc four cylinder B-series engine and its transmission from the Magnette saloon.This superb example is presented in Ireland Green with a new tan leather interior which still smells new! The present owner carried out a restoration on the car over the last two years, replacing the interior completely to include wool carpets, new leather upholstery and dashboard covering, new steering wheel ( original wheel included in the sale). The has been resprayed and looks fantastic ( original colour was Tyrolite Green) The car also comes with a Heritage Certificate and some invoices. A great looking British classic which is still turning heads today as it did when manufactured!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1985 Ford Capri 2.8 Injection Transmission: manualMileage:70780The Ford Capri was the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be, just like the Mustang. The Capri was, in fact, a far more varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to 3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The Capri was released to the press on 24th January 1969 at the Brussels Motor Show and caused a sensation. For the 1982 model year, a new sporty version debuted at the Geneva Motor Show called the 2.8 Injection. Power rose to a claimed 160bhp giving a top speed of 130mph. The Capri 2.8 Injection breathed new life into the range with the four-speed gearbox replaced with a five-speed unit early on and, in 1984, upgrading to the Capri Injection ‘Special’ using half leather seating and a limited slip differential. Externally, the car could be easily distinguished by seven spoke RS wheels and colour-coded grille and headlamp surrounds. Originally registered on 25th November 1985 this presentable Capri has only had four owners in total, the third one being the custodian from June 1988 until he sadly passed away in 2017. Throughout its life, this has clearly been a well-cared for vehicle; unfortunately however, the history file was not passed on to the fourth owner. The odometer reading of 70,780 is thought to be correct and the car has covered just over 5,000 miles in the last 16 years. Finished in white with grey half leather interior this 2.8 injection Capri both looks the part and most certainly sounds it. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 28th March 2022, this is a very well sorted example.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.

2003 JBA Falcon TSR Transmission: manualMileage:12557JBA Motors was a company based in Norwich that makes the JBA Falcon. The company was originally named JBA Engineering and the name came from the first letter of the surnames of the three partners who founded the firm, Kenneth Glyn Jones, John Barlow and David George Ashley. They were all engineers at British Leyland. John Barlow later left the company and it was run by Ken Jones and Dave Ashley until 2004. Sadly, the company went into administration in 2007.Originally registered in April 2003 this JBA is fitted with a 2.0 litre Ford Pinto engine. The twin choke Weber carburettor and attractive power to weight ratio ensures this is an open top car that offers brisk performance. A five-speed gearbox makes driving on longer journeys more comfortable and the wet weather gear helps as we all know the British weather can be a little unpredictable at times. Having covered only 2,700 miles since 2017 and used very little of late, it is recommended a service be carried out on this Falcon prior to use. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 23rd March 2022 and a number of invoices.A great way to enjoy exciting open top motoring for a relatively modest outlay.

1967 Ford Cortina Mk. II 1500GT Crayford Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:64226The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes and launched on 18th October 1966, four years after the original Cortina. Although the launch was accompanied by the slogan 'New Cortina is more Cortina', the car, at 16' long, was fractionally shorter than before. Its 2½ inches of extra width and curved side panels provided more interior space. Other improvements included a smaller turning circle, softer suspension, self-adjusting brakes and clutch, together with the availability on the smaller-engined models, of a new five-bearing, 1300cc engine. A month later, in August, the 1300 received a new crossflow cylinder head design making it more efficient, while a crossflow 1600 replaced the 1500. The Cortina was Britain's most popular new car in 1967, achieving the goal that Ford had been trying to achieve since it set out to create the original Cortina back in 1962. Period reviews were favourable concerning both the styling and performance. Again, two-door and four-door saloons were offered with base, Deluxe, Super, GT and, later, 1600E trims available. Originally registered on 11th August 1967, this Mk. II Cortina is one of only seven pre-crossflow Crayford convertibles. With Mk. II 1500GT numbers remaining in single figures, this could well be the only Crayford convertible left making this a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of motoring history. Full photographic evidence is available of the restoration and the car presents in very good order throughout. The mileage of 64,226 miles is thought to be correct but not warranted. The car is supplied with a V5C registration document, a full year’s MoT test certificate and a history file. With classic Fords being in huge demand of late, this Cortina 1500GT is highly desirable in its own right; add to that the Crayford conversion and we expect this exceptionally rare stylish Ford to create significant interest. Why not enjoy the summer months in an instantly recognisable classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1955 Morris Minor Transmission: manualMileage:60132The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show on 20th September 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, over 1.3 million examples were manufactured from 1948-1971 and, indeed, the 1,000,000 example was sold by Historics in 2015. Initially available as a two-door saloon and convertible, the range was subsequently expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950 and wood-framed estate. Other changes included a modified dashboard layout with toggle switches, textured steel instrument binnacle and larger convex glove box covers. A different heater completed the interior upgrade whilst the larger, more modern combined front side/indicator light units, common to many BMC vehicles of the time, were fitted to the front wings.This lovely split screen early example of this British classic is presented in grey with new red leather interior which looks fantastic. After an extensive restoration where new carpets were fitted, new tyres and a respray was undertaken, this wonderful little classic Morris is good enough for any collector or just simply to be enjoyed on the road.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1958 BMW Isetta 600 Transmission: manualMileage:30825The BMW 600 is a four-seater microcar produced by the German automaker from mid-1957 until November 1959. Partially based on the BMW Isetta two-seater, it was BMW's first post-war, four-seater, economy car and it began the design process for its more successful successor, the BMW 700. BMW needed to expand its model range, but they did not have the resources to develop an all-new car with an all-new engine. Therefore, it used the Isetta as starting point for a new four seat economy car. As a result, the 600 used the front suspension and front door of the Isetta. The need to carry four people required a longer frame, a different rear suspension and a larger engine. The rear suspension was an independent semi trailing arm design; this was the first time BMW had used this system and the chassis had a wheelbase of just 1,700 millimetres. The 600 was powered by the 582cc flat-twin engine from the R67 motorcycle/sidecar combination. This engine, which delivered 19.5 horsepower was mounted behind the rear wheels. Access to the rear seats was by a conventional door on the right side of the vehicle and a four-speed manual gearbox was standard, while a Saxomat semi-automatic transmission was available and the 600 had a top speed of approximately 100 km/h if you were brave!Offered in original but importantly complete and running condition, this very rare Isetta 600 was imported from California and as such has an excellent chassis and body for a cosmetic restoration. Running and driving with a reconditioned 582cc engine, the 600 is a micro car that combines chic urban motoring with the ability to carry four passengers and retains the front opening door for the driver as per the smaller Isetta 300. This 600 is now UK registered and with examples in the UK incredibly sparse, we think this is an ideal opportunity to put your stamp on what is a desirable and collectable BMW which when completed would likely fetch double the pre-auction estimate.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1986 Ferrari Mondial Transmission: manualMileage:80200With a name reminiscent of the 500 Mondial race cars from the 1950s, the Ferrari Mondial was a replacement model for the Ferrari 308 GT4. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine, gearbox and rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel subframe, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it was on previous models. The steel coachwork was taken care of by Carrozzeria Scaglietti and built over a lightweight steel box section space frame. The Mondial 8 is considered one of the marque's most practical vehicles.Originally registered on 12th November 1986, this Ferrari Mondial is presented in metallic grey with lovely Crema trim which is in good condition. The car presents well and is offered with many invoices from Superformance and a stamped service booklet combined with all but one MoT test certificate since 1991. Fitted with a sports exhaust which, in the vendors words, “gives this wonderful 32 valve Ferrari the sound of a Formula 1 car, combined with the practicality of four seats, could the kids have more fun?” Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a history file containing the original service book, owner’s manual and invoices within the leather-bound folder. Accompanied by an MoT test certificate valid until July 2021, this is an appreciating classic which we believe to be one of only three UK cars presented in this colour combination and boasting the desirable 3.2 litre Quattrovalvole engine. The electrical system of this Mondial will require some attention as we are informed that the sunroof and air conditioning are currently not working. The Mondial range has increased in value of late as the market realises what an underrated car this really is.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1988 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce Transmission: manual Mileage:35268 A modern classic by Pininfarina, the simple yet elegant Spider bodywork that premiered on the 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto would prove enduringly popular, lasting into the 1990’s.The Pininfarina designed Alfa Romeo offered here was manufactured during 1988 and first registered in the UK on 10th August 1988. In today’s market, the words exceptional and stunning are far too frequently used, however, in this case, they understate the condition of this car. In fact, this fabulous Alfa Romeo simply has to be viewed to be fully appreciated; you cannot see and smell its newness without doing so.The coachwork is presented in Alfa Romeo Rosso and is superb throughout, including the undersides which present as new. Externally, the car sits on alloy wheels, (including the spare), shod with five new and correct, Pirelli Cinturato tyres. The interior benefits from the inclusion of the leather option, electric windows and the addition of a Nardi steering wheel, (the original is included). The hood is also in very good order and includes the cover for use whilst touring with the hood in the down position. The odometer records 56,758 kms which equates to only just over 35,000 miles. The car’s MoT records begin in 1991 when the first MoT was due, verifying this mileage to be correct. In fact, only 7469kms (4641 miles) have been covered since that first MoT and is, no doubt, the reason why this Alfa Romeo is so exceptional. The vendor reports the car to be in excellent mechanical order. The engine starts easily from cold and the gearbox operates perfectly without any synchromesh issues resulting in the car driving as you would hope. This fine motor car has recently been serviced and comes with a comprehensive history file, two sets of keys, V5C registration document, factory toolkit, factory owner’s manual, original sale literature and an MoT test certificate valid until 27th January 2022. A rare opportunity to acquire such a beautiful condition example of this Italian classic. To find an Alfa Romeo of this period, condition and miles is a rare thing indeed, so, if you are seeking one of the finest Alfa Romeo Spiders to enjoy this summer, you would be hard pressed to find a better example. Interested parties should note that this vehicle that, after several enquiries, the vendor has stated; that the car comes with a new battery and that the original toolkit is included and 'as new' with its pliers still in their factory wax wrapping.

1971 Fiat 500L Transmission: manualMileage:69507The Fiat 500 was produced by the Italian car makers between 1957 and 1975 with limited production of the Fiat 500K estate continuing until 1977. It was designed by Dante Giacosa and, despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular vehicle throughout Europe capturing the hearts and minds of the public. Launched as the Nuova (new) 500, it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only three metres long and originally powered by a tiny 479cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term 'small car' and is considered one of the first city cars.This delightful Fiat 500 was imported into the UK by the vendor in 2015 shortly after having been subject to a full restoration in Sicily; it presents in excellent order. We are advised she starts 'on the button' and drives well. Clearly the restorer was familiar with these great cars and the work appears to have been carried out to a good standard borne out by many years of enjoyable motoring since its return to the UK. Supplied with the original Italian paperwork, a recent MoT test certificate and the UK V5 registration document, this is a fun car for a modest outlay with the added bonus of taking little space in a garage!Guide Price £6,000 - £8,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

It is rare to find such an item, the vendor purchased this from a specialist Aston Martin restorer. The aluminium is in good condition although there are some small dents on the nearside front. This could be very useful for someone carrying out a restoration on a DB5 as Aston Martin works charge circa £60,000 for their reproduction units, or as a unique piece of office art.Guide £2,500-£4,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1993 Renault 19 16V Phase II Transmission: manualMileage:98350The Renault 19 16S (16V in some countries) was added to the 19 line up in the autumn of 1990 and was the only Renault 19 with a 16 valve engine. It had a distinctive air inlet on the bonnet, a rear spoiler, 15” Speedline SL401 alloy wheels, side skirts, twin headlamps, Recaro bucket seats with optional leather trim, four in one exhaust manifold and ABS braking system with optional trip computer, air conditioning and electric sunroof. The ‘S’ is for soupapes, French for valves. It was praised for its excellent handling and rev happy F7P engine, which, along with the advanced Renix ECU, made it faster and more fuel efficient compared to most competitors. The braking system was upgraded to include vented discs as well as an uprated lower suspension setup and front strut bar. Phase II retained the original bumpers found throughout the range but added colour coded tops, rubber inserts, and a discreet lower splitter. Renault claimed an acceleration from 0-62mph of 8.2 seconds boasting 135bhp and a top speed of 134mph.This Renault 19 16V Phase II is presented with good red coachwork and when first consigned it was fast conceded that examples of these 90’s sports cars are extremely rare and in this condition like ‘hens’ teeth’. This example was delivered new in November 1993 and is accompanied by the original service booklet contained in the original book pack. Having been recently recommissioned, this car is described as being in fine fettle and we are informed it has covered, a believed to be accurate, 97,000 after a clock change which is documented in history file with MoT test certificates in 2016 when the mileage increased due to the new clocks reading before being adjusted correctly in 2019. The history file shows good continual maintenance from new until 2013 and continuous MoT history throughout so the car was always kept on the road, also in the file is the original book pack and an MoT test certificate valid until June 2022.

1937 Bentley 4¼ litre Saloon by Park Ward Transmission: manualMileage:77199Bentley motorcars have always been built to be driven. That is as true today as it was in 1919 when W. O. Bentley designed the first vintage Bentley. The early history was written on the racetracks with the spirit of the Bentley Boys. They celebrated five magnificent Le Mans victories in the 1920's and in 2003, enjoyed a return to those glory years with a sixth win. When Rolls-Royce bought Bentley Motors, they shut down production of the 8 and 4½ litre. Then they had to decide what to do with the Bentley name as they couldn't afford to alienate their customer base and not build a new Bentley. The question was what sort of car to build; after several false starts, the Experimental Department developed a prototype car based on an earlier 18hp experimental chassis called the 'Peregrine' and a suitably tweaked 20/25hp engine; this combination proved to be a winner.W.O. Bentley drove one of the prototype cars extensively on the Continent and wrote back to the Derby factory giving the car overall praise. Launched in 1933, the first of what would become known as the 'Derby Bentleys' continued the marque's sporting associations. The 'Silent Sportscar', as it was quickly dubbed, had few peers and as a tireless long-distance tourer, it combined traditional Rolls-Royce refinement with Bentley performance and handling. Based on the contemporary Rolls-Royce 20/25, the 3½ litre Bentley was slightly shorter in the wheelbase and employed a tuned, twin SU-carburettor equipped version of the former's 3669cc overhead valve six; an increase in bore size upped the capacity to 4257cc in 1936. The 4¼ litre model offered more power while retaining the well-proven chassis and servo-assisted brakes.This Park Ward coachbuilt Bentley 4¼ litre Saloon, chassis number B63KU, is presented in black over cream and boasts a deep brown contrasting leather. Purchased by the vendor’s father in 1969 from David Scott-Moncrieff in Leek with 48,000 miles on the odometer, it then passed to our vendor who drove it regularly until 1996 and 78,000 miles when the con-rod came adrift (it was described by the garage as ‘a leg out of bed’). The garage that was initially commissioned to repair did nothing for a couple of years due to the proprietor’s ill health and when our vendor finally collected it the same fault happened once again. It was then taken to a different Rolls and Bentley specialist who took the engine apart but due to workload did nothing else and there it remained for the next 22 years; partially, as the vendor explains, his fault due to lack of space having it back.Finally giving up on his dream of putting this saloon back on the road and losing his storage at the garage, the time has come for our Bentley drivers club member to pass the car over to a new custodian. The paint and body will require attention as will the engine of course, but this is a Park Ward Bentley 4¼, a car synonymous with British motoring heritage and as a complete example will make a very desirable project indeed. The history file is somewhat sparse due to the car sitting under dust for two decades but includes a few invoices for work carried out prior to engine failure together with old MoT’s, a V5C registration document and original Handbook. All parts are supplied with the car and inspections are welcome.Guide Pride £23,000 -£30,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1992 Porsche 944 S2 Transmission: manualMileage:105706The Porsche 944 S2 was introduced in 1989, powered by a 208hp normally aspirated, dual overhead cam 16 valve 3.0 L version of the 944 S engine. The largest production 4 cylinder engine of its time, it featured a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm (3.5 in). The 944 S2 also received a revised gearbox to better suit the 3.0 litre engine. The 944 S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the Turbo model. The manual transmission cars quoted performance figures of a 6.0 seconds 0–97 km/h acceleration time, (0–100 km/h being achieved in 6.8 seconds) and a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph).Finished in the striking combination of Alpine White with Cobalt Blue upholstery, ‘J73 KLR’ is understood to have been retained by supplying dealer AFN Porsche (London) Ltd for use as a demonstrator and indeed still wears ‘AFN’ branded number plates. Having covered 105,600 miles from new (a figure substantiated by 22 service entries and 26 MoT certficates), the 2+2-seater was originally specified with headlamp washers, leather seats, automatic heating control and an electric sunroof. Treated to a cambelt change at 104,052 miles, the 944 S2’s last main dealer service was carried out at 103,913 miles by Porsche Swindon. Presenting in fabulous condition throughout this is a real 90’s icon and reflects a car with half the mileage.

1972 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:62274The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15 wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. Assembled on 1st November 1971 and despatched the next day to be shipped to Portland, USA on the shipping vessel ‘Bluemaster’, this lovely TR6 was originally ordered in Sapphire Blue with a black interior and hood. Whilst the interior and hood remain the same colour, having just been subject to a photo documented, frame off restoration, the vendor decided to change the cars colour to the beautiful Carmine Red it presents in today. The supplied BMI Heritage Certificate also shows that the car left the factory with several options including; laminated windscreen, tonneau cover, heater, jack, tool roll and a spare wheel. The vendor took on the restoration after the previous owner had found himself in over his head with it. Over the next year or so he completed the full frame off restoration. The chassis was blasted, primed and painted. The body was remarkably rust free and required little attention other than being painted. All the suspension components and drivetrain were either restored or replaced with new parts, with the car boasting new parts such as; suspension components, stainless steel exhaust, new Minilite wheels and tyres. Whilst rebuilding the car, the decision was made to replace the original four speed TR box with a modern five speed unit from a Toyota Supra to improve drivability and motorway cruising. The original box is included with the car should any future owner wish to convert it back. The interior was treated to many new parts as well including the dash, seats, carpets, hood, tonneau cover and even the rubbers! Having only covered around 1,200 miles since its completion, the vendor reports the car runs and drives even better than when new.Supplied with the documents required to register the car in the UK as the first owner, including the all important NOVA confirmation. Also supplied is its BMI Heritage Certificate and original gearbox, this lovely TR6 offers the chance to own a fully restored car that combines both classic thrills with modern driving convenience.

1995 Ford GT40 Mk. III Evocation by KVA Transmission: manualMileage:7500The Ford GT40 is synonymous with Le Mans but was first seen at the Nurburgring in May 1964. Two unsuccessful years followed until in 1966 the GT40 took 1st, 2nd and 3rd places at Le Mans in its Mk. II form. In 1967 a new Mk. III road version was built which differed from the previous road and race cars. The two square headlights were replaced with four circular units. The exhaust and rear bodywork were redesigned to enable space for a boot. Inside the most significant change was that the gearchange was mounted centrally allowing either left hand or righthand cars to be built. To make the car more road user friendly, the engine was de-tuned, and the suspension made slightly softer. Mk. III production ceased in 1969 with only seven examples having been built. This stunning car is a fabulous evocation of one of the seven original GT40 Mk. III; the last one which came to market sold for several million dollars. Registered correctly on Classic D registration plates and registered as a Ford GT40 (KVA) on the V5C registration certificate, this car started life as one of the first KVA chassis that was produced; KVA bodies were so good they even made them for real GT40's. KVA are the initials of Ken Vincent Atwell, former Senior Production Engineer at Ford whom worked on the original GT40 Mk. III. The body panels on this evocation are made from moulds taken from the original Mk. III and are recognised as being the most accurate to the 1967 original.The chassis was then modified and strengthened to upgrade it to its current specification. Power comes from a Ford 302ci V8 supplied in 330bhp specification from Real Steel with a performance inlet and carburettor, aluminium performance heads, Ford racing rocker covers and an air filter rounded off by a ‘ceramic coated’ bundle of snakes exhaust system. The car sits on correct knock on/off wheels. The gearbox is a five-speed UN1 built with GTO engineering internals, an uprated shaft and a Quaife limited slip differential. The engine also boasts an electric water pump and a large core aluminium bespoke radiator with twin fan system and silicone hoses. The interior is in fabulous condition and features blue trimmed leather seats with matching leather dashboard. Access to the cabin is through the iconic GT40 doors with their detachable roof panels for open-top driving. The classic instruments and correct central gear change complement the perfectly replicated chrome opening windows and period mirrors, finished in stunning paintwork by Smart Automotive. This is a rare and wonderful classic Mk. III GT40 evocation which has covered just 7,500 miles, and in our view, is superb in every way. We are informed the cost to recreate this car to this standard today would cost in excess of £200,000. The current owner has carried out the following improvements during ownership.Mechanical / Electrical Installation of modern electronic ignition system.

1982 Porsche 911 SC Targa Transmission: manualMileage:104002The Porsche 911 is a luxury two-door sports coupé. It has a distinctive design, rear engined and with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. The engine was also air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998. Since its introduction in autumn 1963, it has undergone continuous development, though the basic concept has remained little changed.Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of automotive competition. It is among the most successful competition cars ever. In the mid 1970s, normally aspirated 911 Carrera RSRs won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona, Sebring and Nürburgring, even against prototypes. The 911-derived 935 turbo also won the coveted 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979. In the 1999 international poll for the award of Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth.This well presented, right hand drive, 911 SC Targa is offered in striking metallic red paintwork over a contrasting black interior with houndstooth inserts. Acquired by the current vendor in 2009, this 911 has been part of his private collection ever since and has been used occasionally during his tenure. The vendor reports that this Porsche is huge amounts of fun to drive and the engine and gearbox are working well. The paintwork and Targa top are both generally very good with few minor blemishes to report as is the interior which is in good order throughout, reflecting the originality of the car. The sizeable history file that accompanies this car includes many bills and invoices for previous maintenance work, the current UK registration document and various old MoT test certificates and a current MoT test certificate valid until November 2021. Fitted with a five-speed gearbox, this 911 is arguably the most desirable of examples and is ready to be enjoyed by a new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo Series I Transmission: manualMileage:91167The Ford Escort RS Turbo was based on the three-door Ford Escort saloon and was supplied in a Diamond White body colour only. The engine fitted to the RS Turbo was a 1600 CVH unit modified to suit the higher loads and the application of a turbocharger. Computerised fuel injection and engine management incorporating turbocharger boost control were also fitted. Aesthetically, the RS Turbo was given a distinctive sporty appearance with a body coloured front grille, bumpers and aerodynamic aids. On the tailgate, an XR3i spoiler (also body coloured) was fitted together with 'RS Turbo' decals. The interior was trimmed in a combination of Monza and Cashmere fabrics and XR3i-type Recaro LS bucket seats were fitted as standard. Production was limited to only 5,000 examples and many were modified in period for racing.Finished in the well-known rally Diamond White with appropriate decals, this example of the 80’s poster fast Ford, the Series I RS Turbo was on the road and enthusiast owned right up until 2010 when the car was laid up and dry stored by its then owner. In 2019, the car was again discovered and has since been fully recommissioned and given a fresh lease of life just as prices for the Series I cars have begun to rise. Presented with a new MoT test certificate valid until May 2022 and with invoices dating back 30 years when Lex Ford in Maidenhead cared for this RS Turbo. The history file is very good, it shows previous owners, servicing, and sympathetic upgrades in the 37 years since this example was first registered in May 1985. Nothing sets the pulses racing like the working mans hero car with that whirring turbo coupled to the original CVH engine.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1974 Reliant Scimitar GTE Transmission: manual Mileage:92993 The SE5 model of Reliant’s classic Scimitar came with the 3.0 litre Ford Essex engine providing a claimed top speed of over 120mph. A Borg-Warner automatic transmission was added as an option in 1970 and by 1971, overdrive on the four-speed manual was offered. In 1972 several improvements were included in the upgrade to SE5A, including a boost in power. The extra 7hp and maximum engine speed raised performance, the GTE was now capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and top speed was raised to 121mph, more of a luxury model than the SE5. These models were two-door sports estates, again with the Ford V6 engine, the wheelbase was increased by 4” and the track by 3” making the cars correspondingly longer and wider than their predecessors. The 5A model sold more than any other Scimitar, with 5105 manufactured. Princess Anne was given a manual overdrive SE5 for a joint 20th birthday and Christmas present in November 1970 by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. It was Air Force blue in colour with a grey leather interior and registration plate 1420 H in recognition of her position as Colonel-in-Chief of the 14th/20th Hussars. Princess Anne later owned eight other Scimitar GTE’s.Unlike most Scimitars, the car offered here has been showered in love since its frame off, nut and bolt restoration in the mid 1990’s. Seeing the car today however, you’d be forgiven for thinking the car was restored much more recently, as it still presents as new. The paintwork gleams and the interior is unmarked. First registered on 9th May 1972, this beautiful example was restored by an engineer and his attention to detail is clear throughout. He took photographs of the restoration process where the chassis and body can all be seen at their various stages of restoration. The car is fitted with an overdrive gearbox mated to the fantastic Ford Essex 2994cc V6. The vendor reports the car to run and drive as new and is only selling the car to make room for a new project.Supplied with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificates, receipts for work carried out including four new tyres in 2018, photographic record of the restoration, original Owner’s handbook and workshop manuals. It even comes with a beautiful pastel drawing of the car. Not to be confused with your average Scimitar, this car represents the best. Interested parties should note that the reserve on this vehicle has been lowered and the revised estimate is £10,000-£15,000.

1958 MG A 1500 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:70488When the MGA arrived in 1955, it must have come as quite a shock to MG aficionados who had become accustomed to the pre-war look of the company's sports cars. It was a complete departure in styling and its beautiful, streamlined body was right up to the minute in terms of appearance. It was powered by a new engine; MG had decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day and so introduced a much more modern B Series engine that had made its debut in the recently announced Magnette saloon. The 'A' was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. Only 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, giving the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car and was replaced by the MGB in May 1962.This very nice example is presented in Vintage White with a traditional red interior, which is probably one of the most desirable colour combinations for this most classic of all British sports cars. Both the exterior paint and interior condition is good throughout. The car comes with a Heritage Certificate and documentation chronicling its restoration including photographs to support this together with invoices. The car was originally supplied new to South Africa and was subsequently imported to the UK at some point in its life. These popular sports cars are great to drive and handle extremely well, not surprising that the Police force used them at that time!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1981 Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk. I ‘Road/Track Car’ Transmission: manualMileage:73438Launched in 1974, the Golf represented a complete break with Volkswagen tradition, yet it would prove as big a sales success as its Beetle predecessor. In GTi form, the Golf has become one of the great icons of modern motoring, giving rise to an entirely new class of sporting saloon - the 'hot hatch' - in the process. First seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1975, the GTi came with a 1.6 litre, fuel-injected, 110bhp engine which, in a car weighing a mere 1,861lbs made for a performance package of a type not seen since the demise of the Mini Cooper 1275S.Imported from Germany in 2011 this example is presented in white coachwork and has been tastefully converted for track use but retains all necessary features to be used on the road. In 2016 the Golf was treated to a comprehensive restoration which saw the body stripped back to bare metal and refinished accordingly. Alloy wheels were fitted with good tyres all round and the interior sports a full roll cage, fire equipment and a Cobra race seat with six point harnesse along with an electronic start button and a cut off switch. Powered by a professionally rebuilt engine and supercharger which kicks in at around 3,000 revs, this is without doubt a wonderful example that we are sure will make a great track car for the new owner. Also fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system, a plumbed fire extinguisher, and heavily uprated brakes including new discs and pads. Having never been used on track this car is ready to be enjoyed and is equally at home on the circuit or hill climbs as well as for spirited road use. Presented with the current UK registration document, a new MoT and various sundry invoices, this is without doubt a fantastic opportunity to reminisce about the 80's sports car era. Offered without reserve, we will all be struggling to keep our hands in our pockets come auction time.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1977 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce Transmission: manualMileage:94947The Alfa Romeo Spider was produced from 1966 to 1993 and is widely regarded as a design classic. It remained in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. The first presentation of the car, as a prototype, was at the Turin Motor Show in 1961; however, the continuing success of existing models and the economic challenges facing Italy at the time meant that the first pre-launch Spiders only began to emerge from the Pininfarina production line at the end of 1965. During 1970, the Giulia 105 Series Spider was updated in numerous areas. Most significantly, was the revision at the rear. Gone was its round-tail look and, in its place, was the aerodynamically more efficient, Wunibald Kamm design. Other changes were not so easily spotted. The windscreen was more inclined leading to additional modifications. Adorning the front was a new heart shaped grille and revised bumpers. The 1300 and 2000 cars were modified in 1974 and 1975 respectively to include two small seats behind the front seats, becoming a 2+2. Several other detail changes were made before production changed to the Series III model in 1982.This very nice 1977 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce (Kammtail) has been in the same family ownership for the last 30 years. It was restored in 1992 by marque specialists, Benalfa Performance Cars, at a cost of just over £11,000. Since the restoration, the car has been dry-stored and fully maintained and serviced by Benalfa and T.O. Bassett & Son of Lamberhurst at a further cost of £14,500. Since 1993, the MoT certificate indicates that the car has only covered 14,000 miles. Finished in red with black hood and black interior, this 2000 Spider is supplied with a roll over bar, a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in June 2022, the original owner’s manual and service coupon book together with a large history file with all the invoices from the restoration in 1992 and further invoices from the continuous maintenance that has been carried out. The car is also being offered with the personal number plate 700 UPX. It is rare to find an Alfa Romeo Spider of this quality on the market today, especially one that looks this good and drives well.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Datsun 240Z Transmission: manual Mileage:87703 It soon became apparent during its creation, that the Datsun 240Z represented all the requirements of sports-minded drivers by fulfilling their desires for superb styling, power and safety whilst providing them with the most thrilling and enjoyable ride available in any car at that time. Reporting 151bhp and 146lb/ft of torque at just 4,400rpm, Car & Driver said, ‘a brilliantly conceived car with twice as much thought having gone into it when compared to the Big Healey, MGC, Lotus Elan, Porsches and Corvettes’. Offering a 125mph top-speed and the 0-60mph dash in a shade under eight seconds, the well-spaced five-speed gear ratios made the most of the engine’s torque whilst retaining the ability to achieve in excess of 30mpg, this was to put the ‘Z’ ahead of many of its contemporaries and on a par with Porsche 911’s of the time. Very impressive, by anyone’s standards. Although Datsun didn’t invent the overhead-cam engine, disc brakes or all-round independent suspension, the 240Z incorporated all of these systems into a brilliantly conceived car. It was no surprise therefore that, for many years the Datsun 240Z was heralded as the most successful sports car of all time and was very successful in rallying also.The original bill of sale included with the cars history file shows that it was bought new from Datsun Palm Beach by a Nancy Vaughn on 29th September 1972 for $4,355, trading in her 1971 Volkswagen in exchange. The car remained in Florida within the family until 2012. Mr. Vaughn, a retired engineer, had spent some years upgrading and developing the car before his death. Mr. Vaughn had removed the original engine and gearbox, (which comes with the car) and swapped it for a 2.8 litre engine uprated with a Garrat T3 turbo with T4 internals through a 45 Weber carburettor, intercooler and uprated ignition, cooling, adjustable suspension and rare 15” Einkiel split rim wheels on Toyo tyres. Supplied with the car are small index cards on which he noted all the work he carried out. The car was stored in a garage at the family home for a few years after his death before the vendor acquired the car and imported it to the UK in 2012. The vendor reports the car to run and drive incredibly well and upon inspection it shows no obvious signs of rust. Since his ownership the car has always remained garaged and he has, over the years, refined and finessed the modifications made by Mr. Vaughn, also fitting larger, more powerful, four-pot brakes on vented and grooved discs.Supplied with its V5C registration document, original handbook, spare key, history file, original receipt, old MoT test certificates, original engine, carburettors, gearbox and a rare injection inlet manifold, (should the new owner wish to go that route). This remarkably solid and straight car from all its years being garaged and well cared for, offers everything you could hope for from the classic 240Z without the usual corrosion worries. In its present form it is incredibly quick, but all the parts are there to return it to stock form, should one wish to. Interested parties should note that the original engine and gearbox that come with the car will be available for pick up from North London. The vendor has offered to deliver them within a 100 mile distance. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
