Registration – BF 7434Chassis No. – A720119M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 23,000The early Fords always make for classic hotrod fare, thanks to them being a staple of the dry lakebed racing scene of the 1930’s. In the bright yellow form of ‘BF7434,’ you can clearly see why they have remained so popular on the modified classic scene of today. ‘BF7434’ is built on 1929 Model A Sedan underpinning but little of a mechanical nature would be recognised by a Ford driver of 1929. The car was built and rodded around 10 years ago in the USA before being imported to the UK in 2015. First registered here in 2015, ‘BF7434’ has been enjoyed by just two former keepers with the current owner having owned it for just under two years. ‘BF7434’ pairs a muscular small block Chevrolet 5.7L V8 with an automatic gearbox to create a fast Ford hotrod par excellence.The classic hotrod recipe pairs a vintage style body with impressively powerful V8 mechanicals to create something that looks unique, sounds sublime and goes like stink. ‘BF7434’ ticks all those boxes and more and features a 5.7-litre, small block Chevy V8 reported to deliver around 350bhp. Alloy heads, a new Edelbrock carburettor, alloy water pump and stainless steel headers are all fitted to maximise both performance and visual impact. A Mallory high spark electronic ignition is also fitted, and the engine bay is fully dressed for an optimal show condition. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a Turbo 350 automatic transmission and disk brakes feature all round. The vendor rates the engine, transmission and electrics as “good.”A vibrant yellow livery only acts to further set this striking hotrod apart. The wide running boards, curvaceous wings and tall cabin emphasises the 1929 aesthetic. Dramatically staggered, wheels and tyres feature chromed hubcaps, and the open sides of the bonnet ensure that everyone gets an eyeful of that deeply impressive engine bay. The interior is no less impressive, of course, with a full width bench finished in deeply buttoned oxblood leather being the first of many highlights. The vendor rates the bodywork and paintwork as “average,” and the interior as “good.”In summary:A striking looking 1929 Ford hotrod with a wealth of characterful featuresBoasting a dramatic mechanical specification to include a 5.7-litre Chevy V8Complete with a fully dressed engine bay for maximum show impact

Registration – KGH 699Chassis No. – TBCM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 61,504Offered at No Reserve, this 1969 Jaguar 420G is an Australian import. The favourable climate will have helped its longevity, while Australian’s right-hand drive format is perfect for the UK. Ripe for restoration, this white Jaguar has a vibrant red leather interior perfectly set off by plentiful wood veneer. The interior has age-related patina but looks in fair condition and, again, a great basis for restoration. Refinements include the Jaguar 420’s distinctive central clock and even electric windows. ‘KGH699’ also has a Sanden air conditioning system installed.The Jaguar 420 was a further development of the Mark II and S-Type series first introduced in 1959. Launched in October 1966, it was produced for barely two years before it was replaced by the Jaguar XJ6. With the 420, the idea was to create a more upscale car than the Jaguar S-Type, with a 4.2-litre straight-six XK engine and heavily revised styling with a more linear and upright front end. Regular cars had a twin-carburettor setup, with the Jaguar 420G using three-carburettors. The Borg Warner automatic transmission was uprated, and the Jaguar 420 was also available with power steering. It used an alternator too, rather than the S-Type’s dynamo.In summary:1969 Jaguar 420G offered at No ReserveAustralian import and ripe for restorationSanden air conditioning installed

Registration – ALT 444Chassis No. – TBCM.O.T. – NOOdometer – 19825This interesting Jaguar XJ6 saloon has spent the majority of its life in Australia before finding its way into a private collection here in the UK. This 4.2-litre, Series II model still wears its Victoria number plates carrying the number ‘ALT444’ and reminding us of the areas Garden State nickname thanks to its lush vegetation. ‘ALT444’ is not UK registered and, as such, we have been unable to carry out our usual background check on registered owners, MOT history and the like. What we can confirm, however, is that this is a 1976, Series II XJ6 which has spent a life free from salted roads in a generally benign climate. ‘ALT444’ comes from the large collection of an individual enthusiast and is offered here with some accompanying paperwork, the all-important Nova Certificate and with NO RESERVE.‘ALT444’ presents in full “barn find” trim complete with dust and grime, much possibly of the antipodean variety. ‘ALT444’ was imported to the UK in 2017 by the current keeper and has remained in dry storage ever since. The colour is believed to be Juniper Green which is a rarer green hue from the Series II range. Some loss of paint on the nearside front wing, however, may suggest that this is a later finish applied over an original Turquoise hue. Upon close inspection there is a fair amount of surface corrosion noted but the panel gaps appear straight and symmetrical. The brightwork to the bumpers and hubcaps feature surface tarnishing but seemingly solid and original. The commodious cabin – all XJs were 4 inches longer from 1974 – looks highly original if in need of some care and attention. The biscuit hued leather exhibits the odd rip and tear but could likely be salvaged easily enough. The speedometer reads in kilometres per hour and the odometer in kilometres.‘ALT444’is fitted with the long-serving 4.2-litre version of the XK straight six engine which is paired with the three speed Borg Warner Type 12 automatic gearbox. This is the twin carburettor version with fuel injection not happening along until 1978. The under bonnet presentation looks reasonable but no battery is currently fitted. All aspects of ‘ALT444’ are rated as “poor” which seemingly reflects this Jaguar’s “sold as seen” status rather than a deeply considered reflection of condition. There is some interesting supporting paperwork included, much of which relates to the car’s import to the UK in 2017.In summary:Australian registered Series II XJ6Seemingly highly original and completeOffering great potential for improvementSadly non-runner

Registration – 810 XUVChassis No. – 21646M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 87,376Despite Alvis completely losing its factory to German bombs in 1940, they were making cars again as soon as the war ended. Their first post-war model was the TA14 or “Fourteen.” Alvis produced the TA14 as rolling chassis with them going on to coachbuilders like Tickford and Mulliners to have bodies fitted. ‘810XUV’ is one of just 27 that made their way to Ian Duncan’s ex-canning factory in North Walsham, Norfolk. Here, Duncan would craft and fit a distinctive Sports Saloon body with the resulting cars costing more than double that of a standard TA14. ‘810XUV’ was first registered in January 1948 in Norfolk as JAH 263, with the car spending most of its early life in East Anglia. ‘810XUV’ would be taken to Ireland in the late 2000’s and was allocated its current registration number upon its return to the UK. ‘810XUV’ has been in current ownership since 2021 with little or no use since then. It is believed that just four examples of the TA14 Duncan remain in a roadworthy condition today. Comes to us from the large collection of an individual enthusiast.The front end of ‘810XUV’ remains recognisably a TA14 model. From the windscreen back, however, the car features a distinctive coupe body formed from seasoned ash frames which were initially made by a firm of Norfolk boat builders. Each took three weeks to assemble with the skeleton then sent to Motor Panels of Coventry to be clad in high-tensile aluminium alloy panels. ‘810XUV’ is finished in black paintwork. The steel wheels are finished in black and finished with full sized, chrome hubcaps with Alvis embossed centres. The stylish cabin is finished in its original tan leather which is charmingly patinaed. There is also edge bound brown carpets and wooden veneered dashboard fascia. The paintwork, bodywork and interior are all rated as “average.”‘810XUV’ is fitted with 1892cc inline four cylinder petrol engine with a single SU, type H, 4-inch side-draught carburettor. This setup originally produced around 65bhp which was surprisingly competitive for the day. The four speed, synchromesh manual gearbox was also quite advanced, too, as is the hypoid bevel final drive making for a more compact transmission tunnel. The Duncan bodied car was considerably lighter than other TA14 models, making it one of the sprightliest performers. All mechanical facets of ‘810XUV’ are rated as “average.” What a truly unique ownership opportunity with just four of these cars thought to remain usable today.In summary:One of just a handful of TA14’s thought to be bodied by DuncanPresenting in a highly original condition and one of 4 cars thought to be useableFully exempt from MOT and zero rated for road tax as an Historic Vehicle

Registration – GVF 535Chassis No. – 20953M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 80,000Despite Alvis completely losing its factory to German bombs in 1940, they were making cars again as soon as the war ended. Their first post-war model was the TA14 or “Fourteen.” Alvis produced the TA14 as rolling chassis with them going on to coachbuilders like Tickford and Mulliners to have bodies fitted. ‘GVF535’ is one of very few that made their way to Barnards of Norwich to receive a distinctive “Woody” estate body. For around ‘GVF535’s’ first 70 years, just three keepers got to enjoy this rare shooting brake. The previous owner became the fourth in 2018 with the current vendor acquiring ‘GVF535’ in 2020. This remarkable post war Alvis is now ready for its next chapter and is offered here with NO RESERVE.Barnard of Norwich had been chain link fencing manufacturers before the war as well as general, commercial ironmongers. Immediately after a war making munitions and other military supplies they suddenly morphed into body and coachbuilders, seemingly with no prior experience. Their wood framed estate car body is certainly striking and mimicked a “Woody” style so popular in America. The Royal Blue livery blends impressively with some gleaming brightwork and the deeply varnished wood frame. The capacious interior is finished in tan leather which contrasts with the exterior blue very well indeed. Paintwork, bodywork and interior are all vendor rated as “average.”‘GVF535’ is fitted with 1892cc inline four cylinder petrol engine with a single SU, type H, 4-inch side-draught carburettor.

Registration – WNE 837LChassis No. – YB57689DLM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 19,305Despite being over 50 years old, ‘WNE837L’ has known only four keepers to date. The first two accounted for the first 46 years of this Triumph’s life. The current owner acquired ‘WNE837L’ just two years ago. Today ‘WNE837L’ records just 19,305 miles on its odometer. This can’t be warranted but the vendor reports it is feasibly original based on ‘WNE837L’s’ condition and presentation. A high level of originality is noted, and much remedial work has been undertaken in current ownership. This includes five new tyres and a new battery. ‘WNE837L’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle based on age and so is zero rated for VED and MOT exempt. ‘WNE837L’ is being offered here with NO RESERVE.‘WNE837L’ is thought to present in it's original factory paintwork of Mineral Blue. This combines well with the deeply chromed radiator grill, bumpers and overriders and panel edging strips. The originality, as with the rest of the car, is most striking and the vendor notes there is a “little patina” to the exterior of ‘WNE837L.’ The design of the Triumph 1500 was the work of the celebrated Giovanni Michelotti who did a number of designs for the firm during the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. The interior is another time warp experience looking much as it would have done from new. Triumph’s place in the BMC firmament was as an upmarket offering so there is plenty of wood veneer, chromed fittings and deep carpets in evidence. The predominant shades are variations of blue with some black vinyl noted in places. The paintwork, bodywork and interior are all rated as “good.”‘WNE837L’ is fitted with the 1493cc version of the Standard SC engine and is fitted with a single SU carburettor in this application. This endowed the original with around 65bhp which proved plenty for a sub-1000kg car. Much work has been undertaken during current ownership to include new brake cylinders all round, a new old stock exhaust system, a refurbished fuel tank and a replacement clutch slave cylinder. Modern electronic ignition has also been fitted.In summary:· A highly original example of the breed with just four owners to date.· Much remedial work done in the current ownership so ready to enjoy.· MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax based on Historic Vehicle status.

Registration – 185 XUKChassis No. – DB4-1122RM.O.T. – April 2025Odometer – 81,000‘185 XUK’ is truly an astounding car. One of just 136 Aston Martin DB4 coupes made with the uprated Vantage specification and the subject of a no-expense-spared restoration. ‘185 XUK’s’ chassis number of 1122 reveals it to be a MK V model and the 121st of that series to roll out of Newport Pagnell. This matching numbers car is a UK specified and supplied example being delivered new to its first Perthshire based owner by dealers Aberfoyle Motors in November 1962. The DB4 was specified with overdrive, a 3.77 ratio rear axle, Bray Block heater, heated rear screen and chrome wire wheels. The first lucky owner retained ‘185 XUK’ for a full 23 years until 1985 when it was sold at a warranted mileage of 35,000. At that point the Aston Martin travelled south and was enjoyed by four owners in the London area over the next 26-years. In the mid-1990’s ‘185 XUK’ underwent its first comprehensive restoration at around 47,000 miles. The work extended to the mechanicals, an engine rebuild as well as the paint and bodywork. Despite being acquired in a sound and useable condition a previous owner initiated a show standard restoration in 2017. At this stage the body was stripped back to the metal and all components were removed and replaced or restored. The triple carburettor Vantage engine was sent to world renowned specialists RS Williams for a £40,000 full engine rebuild. The bodywork was completely restored and the paintwork painstakingly reapplied. A number of thoughtful and subtle upgrades were also made at this stage – more of which shortly. The restoration was complete in 2018 at a total cost of around £190,000. The odometer reading roughly 80,000 miles at this stage and was zeroed on completion of the restoration. Today the odometer reads a little over 1,000 miles. ‘185 XUK’ is being sold with the most comprehensive paperwork files imaginable. This includes diligently kept notebooks from the first owner, logging the mileage covered and all work undertaken between 1962 and 1985. Work from both subsequent restorations has also been painstakingly documented and recorded. Despite its MOT exemption as an Historic Vehicle, ‘185 XUK’ is complete with an advisory free test valid until April 2025.The Aston Martin DB4 was a watershed car for the historic British marque. Much more than a mere revision of its predecessor, it boasted a svelte lightweight, superleggera body designed by Carrozzeria Touring in Milan. Out went the Lagonda 2.9-litre engine of the DB2/4 MK III in favour of a new 3.7-litre Tadek Marek straight six unit. Upon its introduction in 1958, the DB4 became the first model to be built at the famous Newport Pagnell factory. This example’s latest restoration is a triumph and as thorough as its six figure cost would suggest. The attention to detail exhibited is truly outstanding. The underside presents probably better than a brand new DB4 did. The braking system, suspension, rear axle and floor pans all look like new. The whole underside appearance is remarkable. The engine bay is pristine, and its original factory Vantage engine looks as good as it performs. The interior is every bit the equal of the rest of the car and has been completely re-trimmed and re-upholstered in sublime red leather.During the restoration a raft of expertly chosen upgrades were made to further enhance the usability and utility of ‘185 XUK’ for the modern world. These include a high power ignition system, high power alternator, a custom aluminium radiator, aluminium fuel tank, Kenlowe fan, uprated HBE handling kit, stainless steel exhaust system, fully upgraded sound deadening, modern central locking system, RSW hose set and stainless steel oil cooler and pipework. Such is the calibre of ‘185 XUK’ that it was featured in a Prestige and Performance Car multipage feature in 2023. The tester concluded the feature by reporting that “the last time I enjoyed this kind of visceral excitement was when I drove a majestic Lamborghini 350 GT 20 years ago.” This, then, is clearly an Aston Martin DB4 Vantage with vanishingly few equals.

Registration – BXR 853Chassis No. – 12898M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 53,098This sophisticated looking Alvis features a touring body by Charlesworth and represents one of just 602 Crested Eagle rolling chassis ever built by the Coventry firm. It soon becomes obvious that ‘BXR853’ has been the subject of a diligent restoration at some point in its history given the car’s condition. The previous owner was thought to have owned ‘BXR853’ for around 10 years before the current vendor acquired the Alvis at a Hampsons auction in May 2022. Today ‘BXR853’ retains the almost museum grade condition that can be seen and appreciated in our accompanying photographic package. Being MOT exempt and zero rated for tax as an Historic Vehicle, ‘BXR853’ is ready to drive, or be chauffeured in, immediately.‘BXR853’ is a truly striking pre-war touring saloon in its black and peppermint green, two tone livery. This striking combination aside, ‘BXR853’ is awash with charming 1930’s features. Highlights include the Alvis emblazoned fishtail exhaust pipe, the huge externally mounted headlamps and stately looking chrome radiator cowl. Other signatures include a full width, fabric sunroof and cross spoked wire wheels affixed with twin eared Alvis spinners. The surprisingly commodious Charlesworth body is no less impressive, either. The Sherwood green upholstery looks immaculate with the seat backs stitched into vertical box pleats. The pale green carpets look pristine and are edge bound for luxury and longevity. The dashboard, door caps and window surrounds are all finished in deeply varnished, luxurious looking wood veneer. The headlining is courtesy of immaculate looking ecru hued felt type fabric.‘BXR853’ features the 2762 cc, six cylinder engine from the SC Speed Twenty. In this case it was specified with the optional triple SU carburettor set up. This units looks impressive and pristine when the centrally hinged, gullwing bonnet is opened. An all synchromesh, four speed manual gearbox is fitted. Another innovative feature of the Crested Eagle is the front independent suspension and semi-elliptical transverse leaf spring. With around 75 bhp on hand, the Crested Eagle was an impressive and effortless performer for its day.In summary:One of just around 50 Crested Eagles thought to remainFitted with the desirable and capacious Charlesworth touring bodyPreviously exhibited in a museum

Restored to a very high standard in the USAPrevious Senior division Mustang Club of America show winnerRare factory GT in original specificationFactory air conditioning & power steeringCirca 1,000 miles since engine rebuild and mechanical refreshThe Ford Mustang was the brainchild of Lee Lacocca and was branded as the first 'Pony Car', it was born out of a need to compete with the flood of European sports cars coming into the USA in the Sixties. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9th 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on April 17th 1964. The Mustang was only available as a hardtop coupé and convertible until September 1964, it was the fastback that drew the interest of Carroll Shelby which extended the iconic reach of the Ford Mustang and firmly put it into the category of motoring legends. The Mustang sold over one million units in its first 18 months on the market and became a popular car to customise, from engine upgrades to racing stripes, no two Mustangs are often found the same. Ford kept the Mustang relatively cheap with a list price of $2,368, making the car extremely popular.This particular example is something rather special, it is a factory GT convertible, which was built on October 7th 1965 in Meuchen, New Jersey and was restored around 1988 in the USA to an extremely high standard, then only trailed to shows and covered almost no miles until around 2020. Our vendor purchased the car from Fraser Dante Limited in 2021, who refreshed the braking system and gave the car a mechanical refresh and new tyres to make it ready for use after so many years of static display. The restoration was evidently carried out to exacting standards and looks as though it could have been carried out just a handful of years ago, not nearly 40! We understand this Mustang has previously been a winner in the Senior Division of Mustang Club of America shows and it would look right at home at any classic car shows today. The Factory numbers are clearly visible around the car in the correct places and the car still retains its original C6 dated 289ci engine (which has only covered around 1,000 miles since being rebuilt) and factory specification of Wimbledon white with a white/blue pony interior and factory luggage rack on the bootlid. The car was also specified from new with the very rare option of air conditioning, which is still in place today.During our vendors ownership, an Edlebrock carburettor was fitted and tuned in August 2022, a new exhaust was fitted in September 2022 and the gearbox was stripped and rebuilt in November 2023, along with an engine oil service. This Mustang is ready to be enjoyed by the new owner right away this summer and is supplied to auction with a V5C registration document and invoices showing recent works, along with a copy of the Marti report.

• Chauffeur driven car for Field Marshal Montgomery during WWII• HM King George VI, Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower were driven in this car• The Phantom III was the only pre-war Rolls-Royce powered by a V12 engine• Incredible history file and highly interesting provenance• Fitted with overdriveWe are pleased to present a truly remarkable automobile – the 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Touring Limousine by Freestone & Webb, chassis number 3-AZ-186. A total of only 710 Phantom IIIs were built before production ceased due to the war, and today, fewer than 300 examples are thought to remain worldwide. This stunning car, famed for its smooth-running 7,338cc V12 engine and unparalleled luxury, is far more than a testament to the marque’s engineering prowess. It is an extraordinary piece of history, with direct connections to some of the most iconic figures of the Second World War, including Field Marshal Montgomery and Winston Churchill.The story of this Phantom III begins in 1936, when it was initially owned by Frederick Wilcock, the CEO of the Talbot Motor Company. At the outbreak of World War II, the car was requisitioned by the Ministry of War’s Transport Section for use by Field Marshal Montgomery, the commanding officer of the British Eighth Army. Montgomery, famously known as “Monty,” used the Rolls-Royce as his personal staff car during the war. The vehicle became known as the ‘Green Car’ due to its unique British Racing Green and black livery, a change from Montgomery’s usual black Rolls-Royces.Montgomery used the Phantom III extensively, travelling between his homes in Virginia Water, Surrey, and London, as well as during his time at Southwick House near Portsmouth in the crucial months leading up to the D-Day invasion of Europe. This car was part of the tight security and secrecy surrounding those meetings. In fact, Montgomery’s car carried not only him but also high-ranking military figures, including General and 34th President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and HM King George VI. A particularly fascinating detail is the custom electric cigar lighter fitted in the rear compartment for Churchill's personal use, still in place today.After the Allied victory in Europe, the Phantom III’s service continued. It was reassigned to the Chief of Staff of the United States Army Air Force, General Carl Spaatz. Unfortunately, while in American hands, it suffered some damage when an American fuel tanker backed into it, the damage that was subsequently repaired. In the 1950s, during the Suez Crisis, the car was purchased by a rubber-planter in Malaya and shipped to Penang. Given the closure of the Suez Canal, it was driven through Italy and shipped from Capetown to its new home in Malaya.By this time, the Phantom III had already earned a reputation as one of Rolls-Royce’s finest models, powered by the iconic V12 engine, unique to the Phantom III and the only Rolls-Royce to be powered by a V12 until the Silver Seraph arrived in 1998. Known for its smoothness, near-silent operation, and extraordinary torque, the Phantom III set a benchmark for luxury motoring in its day. Although the car had faced mechanical challenges in more remote regions, its engine was rebuilt several years ago and remains in superb condition. It now benefits from the fitment of overdrive, enhancing its refinement for modern road use. The car was serviced at Cheshire Classic Cars in 2017 at a cost of around £11,000 plus VAT, work consisted of a comprehensive engine service, a new exhaust system, and an alloy carburettor to replace the fragile Mazak original. In more recent years, the car has seen very little use, so some recommissioning would be recommended but the engine ran very smoothly during our photography, with some coughs from the exhaust, possibly due to either old fuel or an exhaust leak.In 2014, DGY 1 was driven back to Southwick House for a commemorative event marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Present at the event were prominent figures such as Patrick Churchill, Winston Churchill’s grandson, and Lady Arabella Stuart-Smith, Montgomery’s granddaughter. The car’s participation in this event, along with its mention in various media outlets, solidified its status as an important historical artifact.The extensive history file for this vehicle is a testament to its remarkable past, including its original wartime requisition letter. The file also contains numerous old logbooks, a huge amount of correspondence during the 1960’s when Mr Wilcock’s Son was trying to track down and purchase the car, writing to several owners trying to chase the car, but often just missing it after it had been sold, photographs, and further documentation detailing the car's fascinating ‘second life’ after the war. This 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III (DGY 1) is a rare and historically significant motorcar, offering a unique connection to the military and political leadership of World War II. It is a true collector’s piece, preserved in remarkable, possibly original, condition and benefitting from a well-documented provenance. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this Phantom III is a must-see for any serious collector of automotive or wartime history. Supplied to auction with V5C registration document, highly detailed history folder and fitted toolkit in the boot, this Phantom III would be welcome at many top-level events and deserves to be shown around the world.

Restored examplePower steeringThe F-Series is a range of full-size pick-up trucks from Ford which have been sold continuously for over six decades. The second-generation F-Series was introduced in 1953. Increased dimensions, improved engines and an improved chassis were features of the second generation. Incredibly popular with commuters, farmers and tradesfolk across the United States, these adored trucks remain incredibly popular to this day.This fully restored example can only be described as impressive. The blue metallic paintwork is superb and is complemented by retrimmed cream seats, VDO gauges, a Lecarra steering wheel and grey carpets. The wooden load space is in good order and the chromework gleams. This stylish F100 is equipped with an upgraded 350 Chevrolet small-block V8 and an impressive array of Chevrolet Nova components including a rebuilt rear differential, Chevy power steering, a rebuilt heavy-duty transmission, Edelbrock hi rise manifolds and carburettor, a competition camshaft and a Kenlowe radiator thermostat.We are informed that this classic Ford drives well and turns heads whenever it is fired up with a fantastic rumble from the V8 engine.

Subject to a no expense spared restoration with many subtle upgradesProfessionally rebuilt 359ci Chevrolet engine producing between 350bhp-400bhpRack and pinion steeringThe sole coupé model of the Ford V8 DeLuxe was a five-window design, with a single bench seat for three people. This allowed the car to boast two luggage compartments, one reached by raising the boot lid, the other from inside by lifting the seatback. The coupé was available as either a Standard or DeLuxe model, the former with a choice of the small 60bhp V8 or the 221ci 85bhp powerplant. Standard Fords had a variation of the 1938 nose, less exterior trim, and a single taillight. In DeLuxe trim, cars had the new Gregorie front end, two taillights, and came with the 85bhp engine as standard equipment. For the first time, the headlights were recessed smoothly into the front fenders, but for the last time they had free-form lenses, unconstrained by the new round shape of standardised sealed beams. Despite its limited seating, the coupé proved quite popular, with 37,326 manufactured of all types. This placed it third in sales, behind the Tudor and Fordor saloons.This exquisite Ford V8 presents in beautiful condition throughout. Imported into the UK in February 2015, this vehicle was then subjected to a no expense spared, frame-up build featuring a modified, professionally built, 359 cubic inch Chevrolet engine fuelled by a Carter 600cfm carburettor with Brodix aluminium cylinder heads, roller rockers and a hydraulic performance camshaft. The distributor is an electronic Igniter ignition and cooling is handled by a Walker radiator with the power conservatively estimated at between an eye watering 350 and 400bhp! The gearbox is a 350 automatic with a Lokar shifter, the front suspension is independent with coilover shocks and heavy-duty springs and the steering is rack and pinion. Braking at the front is taken care of by Mustang disc brakes and calipers and the rear axle is a heavy duty 9″ Ford unit with drum brakes, all sitting on a powder-coated chassis. The interior of this coupé features new headlining, carpets, seats, door trims and seat belts and the beautifully original woodgrain-look dash gives a fantastically authentic feel. A complete Ron Francis wiring loom was also installed along with new VDU gauges to complement the banjo steering wheel and the front screen winds out just as it should.

Desirable factory-supplied hardtopPeriod Mk. III dashboard conversion and 15-inch Halibrand wheel upgradeIn the 1970s, the AC factory at Thames Ditton stopped service and repair of older Cobras. Brian Angliss’ Cobra Parts operation quickly picked up that business and built up a strong and influential customer base. He also moved closer to the factory operation over the years, eventually collecting enough original tooling, jigs and body bucks from Thames Ditton to fabricate new aluminium bodies, and utilising the same tooling and jigs used to create the original Ace and Cobra bodies. For Angliss’ new Cobra, the bodies were similar to the wide bodies built for the 427, but they used highly tuned 302 V8s. Although they used the same four-inch tubular steel frame, the cockpit was extended to allow more room for slightly taller individuals.The quality of Angliss’ work was so well-respected by owners and others in the AC community that in the mid-eighties, he was allowed to purchase the rights to the AC name from the Hurlock family, who had been strongly protective of the venerated name that they controlled since the 1930s.Following his success, a new AC company was established as a joint venture with Ford, who had also recently bought Aston Martin. Angliss’ company then began offering the AC Mk. IV. With his legal right to use the AC name and the unbroken lineage of craftsmen, tools, and materials employed in their production, these cars were lauded for their high build quality and retention of the original’s spirit and are generally considered ‘continuation’ cars. Autokraft, shortly after, moved to a purpose-built factory in Brooklands; in total, approximately 400 Mk. IV Cobras were built.This example was completed on 18th October 1985, it was invoiced and exported to Performance Motors, Jersey, Channel Islands. Used as a demonstrator for the AC authorised dealer until 1987, the car was then sold to its first private owner, Mr G. Howie of Taunton Somerset where it was imported to mainland UK and registered with the DVLA. During Howie's ownership of the Cobra, he purchased one of the very few factory-supplied hardtops, only available for a short period of time and the car featured in a 1989 copy of 'Auto Express' of which a copy is on file. His ownership ended in 1998 and over the next two decades it changed ownership three more times until 2020 when the most recent custodian acquired the Mk. IV. The history file is comprehensive, providing a wealth of information including current and previous copies of all UK V5C registration documents, invoices from specialists for various works over the past forty years, the original sales invoice, import documentation, correspondence from owners, MoT test certificates and much more. This detailed history file will provide you with a complete understanding of the car's journey.This Mk. IV has been meticulously maintained over the past forty years, with numerous visits to marque specialists and the Autokraft factory. In May 2024, Warren Heath Engineering undertook work on it and shortly after that, it was taken on a European road trip to follow the Mille Miglia. The Cobra was reported not to miss a beat and to be a delight to drive, a testament to its reliability and excellent condition.

• Exciting project with some desirable upgrades• A considerable amount of work carried out over the past 30 years• Retains original engine and colour combination• Understood to have a blue printed engineIntroduced in 1961 in 3.8 litre form, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sportscars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8 litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265bhp on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Firstly, because it weighed around 250Kg less than the XK150 and secondly, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motorcar.This is quite an exciting proposition, a Series I E-Type on offer without reserve and with much of the hard restoration work carried out already. This E-Type was originally supped by Wadhams in November 1965 and was originally specified in Opalescent Dark Green with a Suede Green interior and the car still retains its original engine. The car has been in storage with Twyford Moors for some time, they have carried out a fair amount of work on the car and got it to the stage where it was ready to be started up, the owner was deciding on whether to go with an original style exhaust or a racier stainless stell option, but unfortunately passed away and the long term restoration (circa 30 years) is thus unfinished. It is understood that the engine is a blue printed unit which has never been used since being fitted, the car certainly hasn’t been driven for over 30 years and the current vendor believes this engine build was carried out within that time. The fuel tank and lines are understood to have never had fuel in them but are all ready to go. Upgrades include Fosseway brakes, 123 ignition and an upgraded fan and the carbs have been rebuilt by Tywford Moors. The bodywork was carried out to a high standard over 30 years ago in this very attractive dark green, however following years in storage have meant there are a few blemishes and the paint is a bit dull but it would appear the shell is all very solid and ready to go. We would advise interested parties to view the car and assess exactly how much more work they feel the car needs to be completed. The interior will need to be attended to as it is understood it hasn’t really had any attention during the restoration, so the new owner can choose what colour they wish to trim it in. Overall, this makes for a very worthwhile project for the new owner to finish off, most of the heavy lifting has been carried out and it is offered entirely without reserve! Supplied with a V5C registration document, various records of works carried out over the years and with around £20,000 worth carried out at Twyford Moors.

Supplied new by Hunter Motors of Espanola, New Mexico to Shirley M. Chavez on May 17th 1965, this handsome ‘notchback’, like so many of its siblings, is understood to have been subsequently uprated with a larger, more powerful Ford 302ci (5-litre) V8 engine. Arriving on these shores in 2018 and entering the current (second UK) ownership the following year, ‘RHR 353C’ has been significantly improved by the vendor.

Registration No: SV 4638 Chassis No: 6667955 MOT: ExemptRestored by Model T specialist Mr Bob Starr in the late 1980sImported into the UK in 1993 with a claimed c.2000 miles sinceVery good condition both inside and out and therefore worthy of close inspectionFitted with the upgraded 'Holley Vaporizer Carburettor' for improved engine efficiencyLaunched in 1908, the T's chassis and mechanical components were made from exceptionally durable, high-grade vanadium steel. The Ford also featured a compact 2890cc, side-valve, four-cylinder engine that pioneered the use of a detachable cylinder head. Mounted in unit with the clutch and two-speed epicyclic gearbox assembly, it developed some 23hp at a leisurely 1,600rpm and 80lbft of torque. Top speed was limited to around 45mph depending on the bodywork, whilst brakes operated on both the transmission and rear wheels. With the introduction of a moving assembly line in 1913, Henry Ford famously turned his Model T into the world's first mass-produced car. A year later, Model Ts represented 56% of all automobiles manufactured in the USA. However, it was not just the sheer volume of Model Ts rolling off the production line that motorised America, it was the inherent quality of the design. The Centre Door ('Center Door') version was seen as practical in allowing easy entry and the alighting of all passengers. A design also fashionable with other manufacturers at the time, it was later discontinued for not being much of a concern to buyers.Restored by Model T specialist Bob Starr in the late 1980s, this 'Center Door' is understood to have spent the majority of its life in Missouri, before being imported into the UK during 1993. The T has seemingly only covered c.2000 miles since reaching these shores. In very good condition both inside and out, it is worthy of close inspection. 'SV 4638' has been fitted with the upgraded 'Holley Vaporizer Carburettor' to improve engine efficiency. The current keeper has recently been unwell and has therefore entrusted the Model T to a specialist who is now selling it on behalf of the family. It is therefore offered at 'No Reserve' and presents a fantastic opportunity to get into an up-and-running Ford Model T that is perfect for period events and car shows. The T is being offered with the current V5C logbook and plenty of books on the Model T.

Registration No: THO 451M Chassis No: GAN5141488G MOT: March 2026Just 19,000 miles from newOnly three owners from newHighly original and nicely presented example with original Harvest Gold paintwork with Black interior upholsteryAccompanied by a history file including the original Passport to Service and previous MOT certificatesThe MG Midget of 1961 was essentially a MKII Austin Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. The newcomer started life powered by a 948cc BMC 'A' Series engine. The doors were without external handles or locks and the side windows comprised sliding perspex screens. Braking was by drums all-round. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MKIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased from 1098cc to 1275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter-elliptic ones inherited from the Frogeye Sprite, and the front drum brakes had been replaced with discs. Wind-up windows had been fitted, together with a superior hood.Manufactured in 1974, chassis ‘GAN5141488G’ was supplied new by Righton & Bennett Ltd of Privett Road, Gosport on the 12th of March that year to its first owner. Part exchanging an Austin Mini, the Midget was specified from the factory in Harvest Gold with Black trim and with the Extras Pack, as well as being fitted with an oil cooler, static seat belts, and head restraints, as well as undersealing, coming to a total of £1,220.79 new. Retained by the first owner from new until 2020, the Midget was in use until 1995 before being placed into dry storage, with the Midget having covered 18,259 miles at the last MOT in 1995. Thereafter purchased by a dealer and recommissioned, ‘THO 451M’ has since had only a further two private owners and has covered less than 1,000 further miles, being offered now with just over 19,000 miles from new on the odometer.Still highly original, the Midget is believed to retain its factory paintwork and interior upholstery and is offered with a history file that contains much original documentation including the new car order form and sales invoice, the Passport to Service, price list, paint and trim guide, sales literature, and drivers handbook. The file further contains a selection of MOT certificates from 1978–1995, recent invoices, ownership history, and a current V5C document. Benefitting from a service with new spark plugs and coil in 2022, and another service with carburettor set-up and rocker cover refresh in 2023, the Midget boasts a current MOT until March 2026. Such original examples of MG Midgets are rare to find, and this example with low mileage and ownership is a great candidate to add to any collection.

Registration No: RAM 35 Chassis No: AN5/1307 MOT: ExemptBuilt by the late owner Keith Hopwood as a replica of the original Paddy Gaston campaigned Downton Sebring Sprite 'RAM 35'Understood to have been fitted with some of the original parts of 'RAM 35' during ownership by John BrittenSupplied fitted with 1275cc engine and Weber carburettor plus a spare 1150cc engine and various carburettorsIdeal for Modsport category of the Midget & Sprite ChallengeThanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the 'Frogeye' - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC 'A' series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was coil spring and wishbone at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was 'integrated' rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. The Sprite was quickly adopted for competition by both privateers and the Works - the latter's first major success being the win of John Sprinzel and Willy Cave on the 1958 Alpine Rally. The model is still proving handy in rallies, races, sprints, hillclimbs and autotests to this day.According to records on file, chassis AN5/1307 was sold by W Goddard & Co of Salisbury and registered as ‘RAM 35’ on the 19th May 1958 and is understood to have been bought new by Mr Daniel Richmond of Downton Engineering. Uprated extensively and forever developed, the car was to mainly be driven by John H. (Paddy) Gaston in competition for the following years and eventually was rebodied in full ‘Sebring Sprite’ coupe coachwork and fitted with a Supercharger. Gaston had a tuning and repairs business based in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey and took the Sprite to its first outing at the Snetterton 1 hour race. Gaston would enter the car in a further 22 events over the next three seasons. He won his class with the car on several occasions including the Snetterton 3 Hours in 1960.Fast forward to 1966 and following several magazine articles which are presented within the history file, ‘RAM 35’ was sold to renowned ‘Spridget’ racer John Britten. Unfortunately, on his first outing with the car at Mallory Park, the pair endured a very dramatic crash which John Baggott described in his book Mighty Midgets and Special Sprites as follows:"The car hit the banking hard, bounced back on to the track and was tapped by another car, sending it into a multiple roll. He remembers being in the cockpit, counting to himself the number of times it went over: 'One, two, three'. The Sprite came to rest in the middle of the track and burst into flames, which were quickly extinguished by the marshals. The driver emerged from the wreck very shaken, but otherwise unharmed".The crash spelled the end for the original shell of ‘RAM 35’, however many of the uprated components were transferred to Britten’s Lenham bodied Sprite known as ‘SS 1800’ which was campaigned far more successfully over the following years and was eventually rebodied with Arkley panels for which it became well known in its own right. Sometime during the late 1990’s, the late owner Keith Hopwood acquired ‘SS 1800’ along with the ID for ‘RAM 35’ and chose to build a recreation of the ex-Paddy Gaston racer which would invariably use some of the original car’s componentry. Hopwood wanted to recreate ‘RAM 35’ with a Sebring style bonnet, and had a new front end and Speedwell-style hardtop made from Fibreglass by Omnibob Ltd. A highly tuned 1275 engine was fitted complete with a Weber DCOE 45 carburettor and the shell from ‘SS 1800’ was further adapted to quarter-elliptic spring arrangement. Once complete, the car was used successfully for several hillclimb and track events and was invited to attend the Goodwood Revival for display in 2008.Mr Hopwood sadly passed away several years ago and the Sprite was left to his widow who has now decided that it is time to sell the car which is now in need of recommissioning having not been run for several years. Offered with an extensive history file displaying all of Mr Hopwood’s research which includes scans of original registration records, magazine articles and several historic photographs of the car in all guises (both ‘RAM 35’ and ‘SS 1800’) plus spares including a spare bored out 1098cc engine block, cylinder head and three different carburettor options, the current incarnation of ‘RAM 35’ is a perfect opportunity for anybody who wishes to enter historic motorsport events and relive the exciting life of Paddy Gaston!

Registration No: DRS 329H Chassis No: 2202185711 MOT: ExemptFully refurbished in 2018 by renowned VW specialists 'Type 2 Detectives'Full size opening roof with 2 berths on topFitted interior with stove, sink, freezer & full width double bedTwin Weber conversionThe T2 version of the Type 2 Volkswagen 'Van' was launched in 1968 to replace the ageing 1950 'Split Screen' T1 design for major markets. Visual changes to the T2 included the large, single-piece windscreen, giving it the 'Bay Window' nickname. While under its skin the newcomer benefited from the adoption of a half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only accommodated an increase in ride height, but also improved handling. The 1968 - 1972 Type 2s are known as 'Early Bays', with a transitional 1972 model with some upgrades (Late Early Bay) prior to the re-designed 'Bay Window' of 1973.First registered in the USA for the 1970 model year and reaching the shores in 2013, this striking Type 2, finished in Red with eye catchingly-retro stripes, was fully refurbished by internationally renowned classic VW specialists Type 2 Detectives (T2D) in Cambridge c.2018. With a history dating back to the 1990s, the company and its products have featured at a host of top-flight events and TV programmes in the intervening years. This 'bus' was displayed at the Volksworld Show in 2018 and featured in Volksworld magazine. Mechanically the 'Early Bay' boasts a twin Weber carburettor conversion on the 1584cc flat four air-cooled VW engine. Inside the tastefully complementing Black interior offers a full-width double bed inside the bus, and features a large opening roof and a roof tent that features a further 2 berths. In addition there is cooking and food storage for trips away, well catered for with stove, sink and freezer to the interior. Described as being in “very good”condition relating to bodywork, paint, engine, transmission and interior, this T2D -built 'Early Bay' has to be the most handsome-looking VW 'adventure bus' out there. Akin to a full-size 'Hot Wheels' car, with its stripes, KC lights, 'Syncro 16'-style wheels with knobbly BFGs, it's ready for further travels.

Registration No: PHM 842L Chassis No: LD206450 MOT: March 2026Pleasingly retains its Triumph 3 litre V8 mated to a manual overdrive gearboxFitted with a Holley carburettor and tubular free flow exhaustOffered with history file and current V5CSubject to mechanical fettling in current ownershipIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Finished in the classic combination of White with Black upholstery and a Black soft-top, this ‘home market’ example was first registered on April Fools’ Day 1973. Featuring the more desirable four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, the Triumph pleasingly retains its original 3-litre V8 engine which has been uprated with a Holley four-barrel carburettor and freer-flowing tubular exhaust. Treated to a new clutch (including uprated thrust bearing) and associated master / slave cylinders, the Stag has also had attention paid to its rear crankshaft seal, fuel pump, viscous fan assembly, rocker cover gaskets and rear bushes. Expected to be MOT tested by the time of the auction, despite being eligible for exemption, ‘PHM 842L’ is said to ‘drive very well’.

Registration No: WHJ 516M Chassis No: 9256 MOT: Exempt1 of just c.130 right-hand drive Espada S3s reputedly builtNotably previously in the ownership of the well-respected Ferrari specialists Reeder BrothersJust 67,000 recorded milesDiscovered as a garage find in 2022 and fully recommissioned by the vendor sincePrevious full engine overhaul by the Reeder Brothers at c.60,000 milesIntroduced at the 1968 Geneva Salon, the Lamborghini Espada was a true four-seater supercar. Styled by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, it was visually indebted to the carozzeria's previous 'Marzal' and 'Pirana' show cars. A low-slung menacing 'wedge' (actually no longer than a contemporary Ford Mustang), its Giampaolo Dallara honed pressed-steel platform chassis featured all-round coil-and-wishbone suspension, Koni dampers, disc brakes and anti-roll bars. Although, the 'quad-cam' Bizzarini 3,929cc V12 was front-mounted and mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, the Espada enjoyed near ideal front-to-rear weight distribution (52:48). The world's fastest four-seater at some 155mph, it was praised for its handling and ride quality. Debuting at the 1972 Turin Motor Show, the Series III came with power steering and air-conditioning as standard. Boasting 365bhp and 290lbft of torque, it also carried a revised interior, re-jigged rear suspension and uprated brakes. In production at Sant'Agata Bologna for just six years, a mere 472 were supposedly made.Chassis number ‘9256’ is a very rare right-hand drive Series III example, which was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being first registered on the 9th of October 1973. Passing through the dealership of Lamborghini ‘guru’ Del Hopkins, who owned the Lamborghini Dealership in Alie Street, London at the time, it is understood that at this time, one of his business partners at the dealership, Bob Hennessy used the car for his wedding in 1976. Known to have been registered as ‘TTK 2’ during the early stages of its life, the Espada was subsequently acquired in 1984 by the highly respected Ferrari specialists Mike and Graham Reeder, the brothers stripped the car to bare metal, bodily restored ‘9256’, and provided a full repaint into Ferrari Rosso Corsa (there could be no other colour with their specialism!). In 1987, at c.60,000 miles, the engine was removed from the Lamborghini and provided with a full engine overhaul which included new pistons, timing chains, bearing shells, etc.Between March 1984 and May 1995, the Espada led a charmed life, being driven exclusively by partners of the Reeder brother's business. Sold out of the Reeder ownership in 1995, the Lamborghini entered into the previous ownership in June 2000. Used for a very short period (less than a full year) the Espada, now registered ‘WHJ 516M’ was parked in the custodian's garage, where it remained for the following twenty-two years. Unearthed by the vendor in May 2022 who came to know of the car as a family friend of the previous owner, the Espada has since been comprehensively mechanically recommissioned. Works completed have included overhauls of the carburettor and distributor; new spark plugs and condensers; partial re-wiring; brake system recondition with many new parts; new front wheel bearings; renewed ignition system; full interior refresh including leather treatment; new fuel pump and battery; re-conditioned rear tailgate struts; clutch overhaul; and new tyres, amongst much more cosmetic and mechanical improvement. The whole re-commissioning process is fully illustrated in a document in the history file, with the expenditure totalling some £10,700 in total. A regular attendee of classic car events in East Anglia since the completion in April 2023, the vendor informs the only thing the Espada still requires is the fitment of air-conditioning belts.Offered with a history file that includes original sales literature, a handwritten log documenting the maintenance work completed by the Reeder brothers during their ownership, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, images of the car throughout its life (including in Del Hopkin’s ownership and as a garage find), and a current V5C document. Starting readily and both running and driving excellently during the recent photography session, chassis ‘9256’ is due to be driven to the sale, and has covered just 7,000 miles approximately since the full engine overhaul by the Reeder brothers, with a believed genuine c.67,000 on the odometer now. Very few Espadas were manufactured in right-hand drive so finding one with such an interesting ownership history and with the desirable manual gearbox, adds to the appeal of this example. A 155mph, four-seater, 1970s supercar, what's not to like! For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: EWB 306H Chassis No: GCN17279 MOT: June 2025Desirable ‘home market’ RHD examplePresents in its original colour scheme of Tartan Red with a Black interior and a Black hoodSupplied new by Kennings Ltd of SheffieldLavished with an extensive restoration in 2008 with under 4,000 miles sinceOffered with a history file including the BMIHT Heritage CertificateIntended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MGC was introduced in autumn 1967. Based around the same two-door monocoque bodyshell as the humble MGB (albeit with a substantially altered engine bay and floorpan), the newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual plus overdrive or three-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with new torsion-bar independent front suspension, telescopic shock absorbers and lower geared rack and pinion steering, it was visually distinguished by a 'power bulge' bonnet and taller 15-inch wheels. While early road tests criticised the car's 'nose heavy' handling later reports were far kinder (which suggests that Abingdon's engineers quickly overcame the larger powerplant's extra mass). With some 145bhp and 170lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Too readily confused with the four-cylinder MGB, it was dropped in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs had allegedly been made. Though, over fifty-five years on, the MGC's lack of period sales success has only made it more collectible.Chassis ‘GCN17279’ was manufactured on the 22nd of April 1969, being dispatched on the 5th of May to Kennings Limited of Sheffield (of Sir George Kenning). Finished from the factory Tartan Red paintwork with a Black interior and a Black hood, this is pleasingly the colour scheme that the MG is presented in today, and it was specified with the factory with fitted equipment of wire wheels and a tonneau cover. The MG is a desirable matching chassis and engine numbers example and is known to have been lavished with an extensive restoration which was completed in 2008, with less than 4,000 miles covered since. The Roadsters restoration included a full bodywork renovation and repainting; engine overhaul utilising an unleaded head, carburettor refresh and balanced crank; new overdrive gearbox; stainless steel exhaust; re-cored radiator; new wire wheels; and brake refresh, as well as much more.Acquired by the vendor in 2018 as a retirement gift to himself from MG specialist Former Glory (for some £25,000), the MG has since been used locally before a change in health dictates sale. Throughout his ownership, ‘EWB 306H’ has been well maintained with expenditure surpassing £3,400. The improvements and maintenance including a full service in 2023; new engine and water hoses in 2022; fitment of electronic ignition, suspension improvement, attention to the brakes, new wheel bearings, and a refresh of the cooling equipment all in 2019, amongst much more. Running well during the recent photography session with good oil pressure, the MG is offered with a history file that contains the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a large collection of invoices for the restoration and vendor's work, a collection of MOTs back to 1977, restoration images, and a current V5C document.A well-maintained and very nicely presented example of the MGC, this example boasts being a home market, original right-hand drive example with matching chassis and engine numbers, and being presented in its original colour scheme!

Registration No: TAR 904 Chassis No: 120 MOT: ExemptVeteran Car Club Dated and complete with Dating CertificateA once-regular runner in the London to Brighton Veteran Car RunSimple to operate with a conventional three pedal layoutCharming history file complete with a buff log book dating back to 1954Offered with moulds for casting of a new cylinderAmerican Civil War veteran Colonel Albert Pope had created his bicycle-building empire in the 1880s and it was a natural progression to enter the automobile business, first with Columbia electric vehicles from 1897, followed by five other Pope makes, the best known of which are probably the Pope-Hartford and the Pope-Toledo – the names reflecting the location of their factories and made by the Pope Manufacturing Co. and the Pope Motor Co. respectively. Also made by the Manufacturing Co., at a factory in Hagerstown, Maryland, was the Pope-Tribune, a small car that took cues from European marques. It was introduced early in 1904 and production continued for two years, with steady developments to the specification. The initial examples had a 6hp engine with a water-cooled cylinder-head and an air-cooled barrel, rear-mounted gearbox, braking only on the transmission, and a De Dion-style 'coal-scuttle' engine cover. Towards the end of the year a fully water-cooled larger engine became standard encased in a more modern bonnet and the radiator was moved out forward of the chassis. The gearbox was relocated to a central position, necessitating placing the gear lever on the right to join a handbrake lever required for rear-wheel brakes that became a standard fitment. This was catalogued as the 'Improved' Model II.Chassis 120 has a long history in the British veteran car scene and has survived in charming ‘oily rag’ condition. Its recorded history begins in 1954, when its logbook was issued to Dr. Joseph William Edward Fellows of Ware, Hertfordshire. The 1950s was a period of burgeoning interest in early cars, partly owing to the popularity of the 1953 comedy film Genevieve, but it was also a time when they were widely available and relatively cheap – many were languishing in scrapyards or old farm buildings, and there was no shortage of amateur restorers willing to save them.Our Pope-Tribune had evidently been such a car, because it required extensive restoration prior to being put back on the road. The early Veteran Car Club Dating Certificate no. 439, issued on 30th October 1954, noted that it had a ‘Replica body and bonnet, drum brakes added, carburettor not original’. The restoration was typical of the period, with the car receiving an attractively jaunty paint job and a simple bonnet in the make-do-and-mend manner of the time. As such, it presents as a rare and genuinely historic souvenir of a period when the hobby was in its infancy.The Pope continued to be enjoyed through the 1960s, as evidenced by a string of Ministry of Transport Test Certificates. In 1963, it was acquired by Sharpe’s Autos (Landon) Ltd. – home of the famous Sharpe Collection. While operating the Gables Service Station in Rayleigh, Essex, the Sharpe family were among the foremost collectors of veteran and vintage cars in the second half of the 20th century. Some of their cars were kept in use, such as the Pope-Tribune, which they last used for the 1996 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, while others sat awaiting restoration. The Pope remained in the collection until it was dispersed at a huge sale in 2005, where it was purchased by the present owner for his small stable of early cars. He immediately began recommissioning it for the 2005 Brighton Run, and it participated in several Brightons thereafter up to 2012.In recent years, the Pope has been out of use so will require some sympathetic recommissioning. With its beautifully patinated 1950s paint and upholstery, it represents an excellent candidate for preservation and is sure to be much admired the next time it tackles the London to Brighton. The well-stocked history file includes the 1954 buff logbook and Dating Certificate, some later V5s and several historic MoT certificates.

Registration No: 6333 UN Chassis No: 3023 MOT: ExemptAn older restoration that still presents wellOffered with a history file and current V5CIconic British Army military vehicle of the 1950sAfter the success of America’s Jeep in the Second World War, the British Army was eager to have a multi-purpose light truck of its own. In spite of competition from the Nuffield Organisation, Austin was awarded the contract to build 15,000 vehicles from a former aircraft factory at Cofton Hackett, on the outskirts of the Longbridge works, which was specially adapted for the purpose. Built from 1951 to 1957, Champs were quite unlike anything Austin had attempted previously. A four-wheel-drive quarter-ton truck, it utilised the straight-four, 2838cc Rolls-Royce B40 engine. The Rolls-Royce B-series engines were developed specially for use in British Army vehicles and, in their various guises, also powered the Daimler Ferret, Humber Pig and six-wheeled Alvis’. Although a civilian version of the Champ was offered with an Austin A90 engine, the vast majority were built for military use. 'Champ' was actually the civilian name; officially the military version was the less catchy ‘Truck, ¼ Ton, 4x4, CT, Austin MkI’. Of the military vehicles, almost all were used as either basic cargo trucks or wireless vehicles. They were a very well built, quality vehicle and very comfortable when compared to the Jeeps and Land Rovers of the era. Somewhat smarter than the usual ex-military vehicle, this Champ is understood to have been refurbished by a Rolls-Royce director in his own bodyshop. Still sporting an authentic bridge plate, sill-mounted shovel and NATO antenna mounts, the way in which British Army registration numbers were typically derived from chassis numbers suggests that the Austin bore the number plate ’30 BE 23’ whilst on active service. Treated to a new hood and upholstery as part of its prior restoration, the 4x4 is said to have been regularly serviced and maintained during the current seven-year ownership. Receipts on file relate to a new starter motor, carburettor repair kit and exhaust (2018), replacement fuel pump (2020, £195.85), servicing 2021 (£384.98) and brake fettling / fresh fluid (2024, £352.28). Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file. For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226

Registration No: BEH 504C Chassis No: B9472725 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to be 1 of just 3,763 MK1 cars (the vast majority of which were built to LHD specification)Acquired by the vendor, an accomplished engineer, as a stalled restoration projectKnown to the Sunbeam Tiger Owners' Club for many years and pleasingly retains its original 260ci engineDiscretely uprated cooling system and 14-inch Minilite-style alloys but otherwise essentially stockCredible but unwarranted 73,000 milesAccompanying history file includes photos of the restoration / reassemblyThe Sunbeam Tiger was conceived in the West Coast of the USA and inspired by the success of the AC Cobra - the result of mating an American small block V8 engine with the British AC Ace. Rootes American Motors Inc. saw the potential for inserting the same powerplant - Ford's 4.2-litre (260 cu in) 'Windsor' unit - into the nose of the stylish but rather pedestrian Sunbeam Alpine. Carroll Shelby was duly commissioned to build the prototype and the rest is history. The basic layout of the Alpine was retained and the car featured independent suspension at the front using coil springs, and a 'live' axle at the rear supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. The 164bhp engine endowed the newcomer with a top speed of around 120mph and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of under eight seconds. A total of some 7,085 Tigers were eventually produced. Among the mere 800 or so ‘home market’ Sunbeam Tigers, chassis B9472725 was granted the Stoke-on-Trent number plate ‘BEH 504C’ during June 1965. Showing just three former keepers to its V5C Registration Document, the 2+2-seater was acquired by the last of these in 1989. Taken off the road not long after, the Sunbeam was carefully disassembled pending restoration. Work progressed as far as having the original 260ci (4.3 litre) Ford V8 engine overhauled, the bodywork repaired and the four-speed manual gearbox refurbished. Well-stored over the next three decades, the Tiger was complete when the vendor took possession during July 2023. Receipts for work done were reassuring as was the state of replacement parts. An accomplished engineer, the seller set about reassembling the Roadster and ‘double checking’ the previous works. To this end, the fuel system was rejuvenated with a new pump and lines, the electrics and instruments tested, the braking system renovated (the front discs being uprated to Princess 4-pot callipers; a popular period mod), the engine tuned (complete with uprated Edelbrock manifold and carburettor), the ignition system renewed, the cooling system upgraded (high output water pump, increased radiator size, Revotec electric fan with manual override, larger mechanical fan and bonnet louvres) and the suspension treated to new dampers (x4) and rear spring bushes (fittings are in place for a Panhard rod and tramp bars but neither have been installed). Thoroughly stripped, the bodywork was painted Giallo Fly, sound deadening added to the floors, a fire extinguisher and new seat belts added and the replacement hood and screen professionally fitted. Strating readily and running well during our recent photography session, ‘BEH 504C’ has been known to the Sunbeam Tiger Owners’ Club for decades. Decidedly unusual as a ‘home market’ Tiger with matching chassis and engine numbers, it is offered for sale with an original workshop manual, Alpine owners’ handbook (for hood raising / lowering instructions), emergency tyre repair kit, correct jack and wheel brace plus assorted restoration photographs and invoices.

Registration No: BWS 47S Chassis No: 7932096 MOT: October 20255.9 Litre V8 'Sports' guise exampleUprated with an Edelbrock carburettor, inlet manifold and cylinder heads1 of an estimated 65 madeRecommissioned last year following a decade or so of dray storageMOT'd but with aged cosmeticsResponsible since its 1946 inception for a succession of highly capable and individualistic grand tourers, Bristol has always remained aloof from the constraints of contemporary automotive fashion. Introduced in 1976, the 603 proved no exception. Available in either 5.2 litre E (Economy) or 5.9 litre S (Sports) guises, it was far more exclusive than its rivals from Bentley and Aston Martin. Something akin to a (Detroit) iron fist in a velvet glove, the 603's typically restrained two-door saloon bodywork belied its strong performance potential. With 172bhp and 270lbft of torque on tap from the larger of the two Chrysler supplied V8 engines, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 135mph. Tempered by independent coil and wishbone front and torsion bar rear suspension, the 603 was easily reined in by powerful all round disc brakes Equipped with automatic transmission, power assisted steering and air conditioning as standard, it underwent a host of revisions in 1978 to become the Series 2 (including losing the smaller powerplant option). Distinguished by its new wheels and revised ventilation system, this updated version remained in production until 1982. Finished in Navy Blue with Black leather upholstery, ‘BWS 47S’ is understood to have benefited from significant expenditure between 2000 and 2012 including the fitting of a new automatic gearbox, Edelbrock RPM inlet manifold, Edelbrock four-barrel carburettor and Edelbrock Performa cylinder heads plus attention to its brakes and suspension. Recommissioned last year following a decade or so in dry storage, the four-seater had its fuel system flushed, brake fluid changed and engine top-end overhauled. New components installed encompassed the battery, thermostat, air filter housing, rear brake servo, brake pads and two tyres etc. Believed but not warranted to have covered circa 114,000 miles from new, the 603 subsequently passed a MOT test on October 8th 2024. Said to ‘run well’ but to be ‘showing its age cosmetically’, ‘BWS 47S’ represents a very affordable entry to the world of V8-powered Bristol ownership.

Registration No: LKE 505E Chassis No: PM23F76281584 MOT: Exempt318ci (5.2 litre) V8 engine with automatic transmissionArrived on British shores in 2018Benefitting from a thorough engine overhaul completed in 2022 and costing in excess of £8,000Less than 500 miles covered sinceThe Plymouth Fury was introduced for the 1956 model year as a sub-series of the Plymouth Belvedere, becoming a separate series one level above the contemporary Belvedere for 1959. The Fury was a full-size car from 1959 until 1961, then a mid-size car from 1962 until 1964, again, a full-size car from 1965 through 1974, and again, a mid-size car from 1975 through 1978. From 1975 until 1977, the Fury was sold alongside the full-size Plymouth Gran Fury. In 1978, the B-body Fury was the largest Plymouth, and by 1979, there was no large Plymouth. This product gap was filled in 1980 with the R-body Gran Fury, followed by the M-body Fury in 1982. Built at Plymouth’s Delaware plant, chassis PM23F76281584 was delivered to Reliable Motors Inc of Chattanooga, Tennessee on 23rd August 1967. First owned by Charles J. Moore, the Fury III 2-door hardtop is thought to have remained in the Deep South until being shipped across The Pond during 2018. Embarking upon a partial restoration, its first UK keeper relinquished possession to the vendor in July 2023 but not before the 318ci V8 had been thoroughly overhauled. Topped by an Edelbrock inlet manifold and Holley 4-barrel carburettor, the engine is allied to TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The braking system has been uprated with a servo and front disc conversion, while the stock exhaust manifolds feed into twin pipes. The wiring has been fettled and some remedial paintwork carried out. Finished in White with Red stripes and Red upholstery, the Plymouth does not want for road presence! The vendor advises us ‘the car burbles discretely as it should and the underside is solid and very original’. Even the shadow of the original dealer’s decal is still to be found on the trunk, clear-coated to protect it. Thought to have covered some 500 miles since the engine refresh and to have had over £8,000 spent on it in recent years, this appealing Yank is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, owner’s handbook and assorted invoices.

Registration No: 800 TXX Chassis No: SCFCV81CXGTL15419 MOT: June 2025Lavished with a restoration by Aston Martin aficionados Runnymede Motor Company between 2018-2019Just 25,000 recorded milesFinished in Winchester Blue paintwork with Dark Blue Connolly leather and Dark Blue Wilton carpetsRare and desirable five-speed ZF manual transmission1 of just 439 Weber-carburettor fed V8 Volantes madeIntroduced in June 1978, the Aston Martin V8 Volante was among the most stylish 2+2-seater convertibles that money could buy. Utilising a strengthened version of its two-door Saloon sibling’s sheet steel platform chassis, the newcomer was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a De Dion rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering. Sporting a ‘power bulge’ bonnet to accommodate the quad Weber carburettors that sat atop its 5340cc DOHC V8 engine, the soft-top was typically ordered with three-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of over 140mph and 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds, the V8 Volante featured sumptuous leather upholstery and a beautiful burr walnut dashboard / door cappings. A smash hit with America’s rich and famous, most of the 439 carburettor-fed cars completed between 1978 and 1986 were to left-hand drive specification.Manufactured in 1986 and therefore one of the last of the carburettor V8 Volantes, chassis ‘15419’ was supplied new to the United States of America. Residing there until 2017 when repatriated to the United Kingdom, by this time the Volante was requiring restoration. Thereafter lavished with a restoration by Aston Martin aficionados Runnymede Motor Company between 2018-2019, ‘800 TXX’ now presents in the highly attractive Winchester Blue paintwork following a complete bare metal repaint to a very high standard. Complementing Dark Blue Connolly hide upholstery feature in the interior with Dark Blue high-quality Wilton carpeting, new wooden veneers, and a re-trimmed dashboard completing the interior, along with replacement of the electric hood mechanism and a new Dark Blue mohair hood part of the works completed. Mechanically the works comprised a brake overhaul, a new clutch, and a major service, with renewed chrome work throughout and later style Ronal wheels completing the cosmetics.Not only an excellently restored example, this V8 Volante is one of the very limited number of cars manufactured with the five-speed ZF manual transmission. Accompanied by a considerable history file documenting the restoration costs, whilst there is no detailed information of the car prior to importation, on close inspection of the quality of the original seats, it is believed that the mileage of a mere 25,000 miles is genuine. Early narrow-body V8 Volantes with carburettor power are highly desirable already, and this example with the very rare ZF 5-speed manual gearbox is certainly one to consider for any discerning collectors and enthusiasts alike, and in left-hand drive guise is ideal for continental touring or a return to residence in a warmer climate!

Registration No: BFW 500K Chassis No: 200 GB 5024 MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since March 19711 of just c.52 UK supplied Griffith'sFitted with 1 of the last LWB 'MAL'chassisHolley 4 barrel carb, electronic ignition and free flow manifolds Original Green log book, collection of invoices and old MOT certificates The proprietor of a race preparation shop in Syosset, New York, Andrew ‘Jack’ Griffith first hit upon the notion of building what was essentially a Ford 289ci V8-powered TVR Grantura MKIII during November 1963. Some say he was inspired by a bet with Carrol Shelby as to who could create the fastest car, while others claim an impromptu ‘can it be done’ engine swap that his mechanics carried out between USA TVR importer Gerry Sagerman’s Grantura and Mark Donohue’s Shelby Cobra prompted the lightbulb moment. Greatly aided by David Hives back at the Blackpool Works who reengineered the design to accommodate the larger powerplant, Griffith secured a supply of chassis / body units which were then shipped to his premises for completion. Available in standard (195hp) or ‘HiPo’ (271hp) states of tune, the Ford 289ci (4.7 litre) V8 was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Marketed Stateside as the Griffith Series 200, the two-seater proved ferociously fast albeit the immediacy engendered by its short wheelbase could catch out the unwary. Evolving into the Series 400, the diminutive fixed-head benefited from an uprated Salisbury limited slip differential, Kamm tail (shared with the 1800S model), stronger independent rear suspension and improved cooling. A right-hand drive, UK version of the Series 400 appeared at the Olympia Racing Car Show in January 1965 where it was confusingly labelled as the TVR Griffith 200 (sometimes retrospectively labelled the 200/400). The UK-built cars were given GB chassis numbers and sold in Europe, Canada and Australia too. Production of the TVR Griffith 200 faltered after just forty-two examples had been completed; a victim of the same dock strike which paralysed the East Coast of America and did for Jack Griffith’s operation (although, not before the latter had devised a Series 600). TVR was rescued by Arthur and Martin Lilley in November 1965 with the duo completing a further ten 200/400 cars using leftover components. According to information kindly supplied by the seller, chassis 200-GB-5024 was first registered as ‘MYU 617D’. Understood to have originally belonged to racing drivers Martin Colvill (later of Bell & Colvill fame) and Clive Vandervell (nephew of Vanwall owner, Tony Vandervell), the TVR was bought by fellow helmsman Patrick Sumner in late 1967 who remembers it as being painted Roman Purple at the time with flared wheelarches, rear window retaining straps and Cobra wire wheels. Having attended engineering college alongside Martin Lilley, Mr Sumner kept the Griffith 200/400 for three seasons. Entering the current ownership in March 1971, the TVR was thoroughly refurbished the following year using “one of the last Griffith long wheelbase ‘MAL’ (Martin Lilley) chassis”. The bodywork was lengthened by some four-and-a-half inches to suit and then bolted to the new chassis. Now boasting electronic ignition, upgraded 302 heads, free flow exhaust manifolds and a Holley 4-barrel carburettor, the 289ci Ford V8 engine is allied to four-speed manual transmission. Fully re-upholstered, the interior was also treated to a demountable sunroof panel. A new clutch was installed as were better brakes, Spax adjustable shock absorbers and heavy duty drive shafts. Re-registered as ‘BFW 500K’ with chassis number GB7134S on June 1st 1972, the TVR is described by the vendor thus: “The car is in excellent overall condition with very little signs of crazing and only nominal mileage in the last twenty years having been stored for much of its later life. The current odometer reading is 98,630 miles”. Dating back to 1972, the accompanying history file includes a green logbook and invoice for the replacement chassis. A very rare and highly exhilarating road car from a time when ABS, traction control and dynamic stability control would have been the stuff of science fiction!

Registration – WNE 837L Chassis No. – YB57689DL M.O.T. – Exempt Odometer – 19,305 Despite being over 50 years old, ‘WNE837L’ has known only four keepers to date. The first two accounted for the first 46 years of this Triumph’s life. The current owner acquired ‘WNE837L’ just two years ago. Today ‘WNE837L’ records just 19,305 miles on its odometer. This can’t be warranted but the vendor reports it is feasibly original based on ‘WNE837L’s’ condition and presentation. A high level of originality is noted, and much remedial work has been undertaken in current ownership. This includes five new tyres and a new battery. ‘WNE837L’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle based on age and so is zero rated for VED and MOT exempt. ‘WNE837L’ is being offered here with NO RESERVE. ‘WNE837L’ is thought to present in it's original factory paintwork of Mineral Blue. This combines well with the deeply chromed radiator grill, bumpers and overriders and panel edging strips. The originality, as with the rest of the car, is most striking and the vendor notes there is a “little patina” to the exterior of ‘WNE837L.’ The design of the Triumph 1500 was the work of the celebrated Giovanni Michelotti who did a number of designs for the firm during the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. The interior is another time warp experience looking much as it would have done from new. Triumph’s place in the BMC firmament was as an upmarket offering so there is plenty of wood veneer, chromed fittings and deep carpets in evidence. The predominant shades are variations of blue with some black vinyl noted in places. The paintwork, bodywork and interior are all rated as “good.” ‘WNE837L’ is fitted with the 1493cc version of the Standard SC engine and is fitted with a single SU carburettor in this application. This endowed the original with around 65bhp which proved plenty for a sub-1000kg car.

1953 BSA BM33, 500cc. Registration number 787 UXV (non transferrable). Frame number ZM20S 1190. Engine number BM33 168.Sold with the V5C.The 499cc "all iron" BSA B33 arrived in 1947. Outwardly identical to the B31, the B33 featured a slightly larger carburettor, heavier flywheels and a larger rear tyre.The first B33s were built around rigid frames, but in 1949, plunger suspension became an option. Five years later, in 1954, swinging arm frames were introduced.In good running order, the bike was ridden to the saleroom. Only for sale due to dodgy knees, our vendor has owned it for 19 years.

1961 Norton Navigator 349cc. Registration number ASL 695 (non transferrable). Frame number not found. Engine number 96361.Sold with the V5C.Introduced for 1961 at Earls Court, the Navigator was the first bike to be built on the Norton production line at Plumstead. With the 349cc model, the firm addressed almost all of the 250’s troubles and produced a very fine lightweight four-stroke twin. The cylinders were made of a single casting, to give better oil retention, although the cylinder heads continued to be separate. TT racer Harold Daniell raced a standard Norton Navigator at Silverstone, a recorded speed of 101 mph was achieved on a standard Navigator with a tweaked carburettor.ASL has been owned and ridden by our vendor for the last four years and is reported to be in good useable condition. It is being sold as he has bought a modern Royal Enfield.

1960 Velocette Viper, 350cc. Registration number 716 KVK. Frame number RS 14048. Engine number VR2221.Sold with the V5C, V5, VE60 and a large detailed history folder.Engine development pursued as part of the Velocette factory's scrambles programme bore fruit in 1956 in the shape of the high-performance Venom and its 350cc sibling, the Viper. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomers, but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power, and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. In 1960 'Clubman' versions of both were introduced, minus the enclosure panels of the standard models, which featured a raised compression ratio, Amal TT carburettor, 'racing' magneto, rear-set footrests and a close-ratio gearbox among many other improvements. Produced until the end of Velocette production in 1971, the Venom/Viper in its various guises represents the final glorious flowering of the traditional British sports single.KVK has a VE60 stating its engine to be a 500cc MSS in Durham in the early 1970's, with its owner being Leslie Witten and then Donald Green. Our vendor bought it from him in 1985 as a retirement project. This was started in 2006 and the correct Viper 350cc engine VR2221 was fitted, over his ownership he has kept a detailed record of all works undertaken, including overhauling the magneto in 2014 and wiring loom in 2016. Since the restoration he has covered some 7,954 miles.It should be noted that both the oil and fuel have been drained and that the frame and tinware are hand painted.

Registration No: OXS 350 Frame No: 2610012 MOT: ExemptTypically Italian 500cc sports bikeUnit construction 44bhp engineRun recently, supplied with a V5CThe Italian motorcycle manufacturer Gilera was founded in Arcore in 1909 by Giuseppe Gilera and is still in existence today after the company was purchased by the Piaggio group in 1969. After WWII, Gilera dominated Grand Prix motorcycle racing, winning the 500cc road racing world championship six times in eight years, but after facing a downturn in motorcycle sales due to the increase in the popularity of automobiles after the war, they quit Grand Prix racing after the 1957 season. Gilera offered a range of mainly four-stroke engined single-cylinder machines ranging from 100cc to 500cc, the most famous being the Saturno designed by Giuseppe Salmaggi. Thought of as the Italian Gold Star, it formed the basis of many race bikes in the day. This c.1953 Saturno was imported into the UK in 1980 and has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection, a keen rider it has been enjoyed by him on days out around the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales on many occasions. Restored a few years ago and showing a nice patina, it is offered in mostly original condition with just a later Dellorto carburettor fitted to aid starting. Always thought of as the Italian Gold Star, in many ways it was more advanced with its unit construction engine producing 44bhp. A rare model in the UK, the bike started and ran when being photographed and comes supplied with a current V5C.

A magical infusion of culture with its distinctive working class 60s mod appeal. The original album was released in 1973 as a rock opera with the film coming out later in 1978.Launched in 1962 the GS160 was quite a departure from the earlier 150 version and marked the beginning of the new era of the more powerful and many would say more reliable Vespas. With a larger cylinder and clutch the engine case being altered and with spare wheel mounted on the left side of the body. Almost every internal engine part was changed and a different air box and carburettor were used. This necessitated even wider engine cowls than the 150 and the most pleasing and the widest (yet still rounded) ‘behind’ ever seen on a Vespa. Overall with a fairly blistering performance of 8.9 HP and with rounded design features that hid the spare wheel and internalised the luggage the GS160 is regarded by many as the pinnacle best combination of Vespa performance and style. The Mk 2 differed from the Mk 1 by using a large inside legshield toolbox.The scooter is faithful to the original as used by 'Chad' on The Who’s album Quadrophenia and accompanying book. With the correct original RAF St. Christopher badge, all of the spotlights are Miller, Stadium, Lucas and Radyot as per the original. Many details, like the individual plectrums and accessories deserve study of the full set of photographs to appreciate. The scooter is in fine running condition as can be seen by the photographs and the video below. This actual machine was used by the Mod revival band ‘The Goldhawks’ on stage during the ‘Quadrophenia - The Album Live’ tour. With correct matching numbers, this is a very good GS160 in its own right. The reserve has been set realistically.

V5C ready for the roadPLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now being offered with a reduced reserve.In 1952 a group of Basque businessmen trading as Lambretta Locomociones SA obtained a licence to build Lambretta scooters in Spain. In 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. Servetas were initially only produced for the Spanish domestic market. However by 1970 Spanish built machines were being sold in the UK by Lambretta Concessionaires alongside their Innocenti equivalents as Italian supply was known to be stopping. By the end of the decade Serveta scooters were being sold in the United States and the UK under their own name. Production finally ceased in 1989. The Jet 200 was produced from 1971 and allowed Lambretta owners to continue their love affair with a new Lambretta after the Italian factory closed in the same year. The Jet 200 utilised an SX200 engine using the same top-end configuration as the Italian version with a similar HP and a Spanish made Dellorto SH20 carburettor. The gearbox was identical to the Italian SX200 and performance was overall the same. A slight larger fuel tank gave a longer range however.They were known as a very well built engine as good if not better than the Italian counterpart for reliability. The body styling was based around the Italian Li ‘Scooterlinea’ but with SX style hexagonal head set. The biggest body change was the airbox being diverted as air flow through grills in the underseat tool box which was separated by a divider in the tool box door. The accessory leg shield box more than made up for the storage space.This scooter has received a full and substantial physical and mechanical restoration by Classic Lambrettas of Nottingham (now Simply Retro) at a cost of over £2500 according to the vendor. He tells us that the scooter performs exceptionally well and is very reliable and has a mileage of 8525. The engine has a 225cc Monza kit with a 60mm stroke Mazzucchelli crankshaft with new bearings. Carburettor; 30mm Delorto with a Reed valve. 12v Varitronic electric ignition. Exhaust; 42mm TSR Evolution. MPG; 52. SIP tubeless polished alloy wheels with tubeless tyres (inc spare).

Registration No: USJ 410 Frame No: BB 34879 MOT: ExemptRestored by SRP RacetechIn running condition we are informedV5C ready for the roadThe 152L2 range of Vespas released in 1959 were the immediate successors to the long running ‘tubular handlebar’ scooters of the 1950s and in the UK was the first model made in Britain to have cast handlebars like the GS. Many of the parts were imported from Italy and the 152L2 is unique in that it has a mix of Italian and British made parts. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability, gave more power but reduced fuel consumption and required less oil in the fuel mix with the carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. As a whole package it was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. They are now becoming increasingly collectible as with most of the Bristol made Vespas. This 152L2 with correct engine and chassis numbers is in a well presented condition. Restored by SRP Racetech of Bridgewater, the paintwork was carried out by Steve Robertson of Taunton. It was used to transport 'Santa Claus' and for other novelty events in the sidecar, but has seldom been used since it was restored. The racks front and rear are original Douglas supplied accessories.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: VSB1T (SRU 3281) MOT: ExemptBelieved to have been sold new by Grimsteads on 21st May 1962, the day of GS160 release in Great BritainUnderstood to have been upgraded by Eddie Grimstead to SS180 specificationAbsolute time warpOriginal green continuation logbookLaunched in 1962 the GS160 was quite a departure from the earlier 150 version and marked the beginning of the new era of the more powerful and many would say more reliable Vespas. With a larger cylinder and clutch the engine case being altered and with spare wheel mounted on the left side of the body. Almost every internal engine part was changed and a different air box and carburettor were used. This necessitated even wider engine cowls than the 150 and the most pleasing and the widest (yet still rounded) ‘behind’ ever seen on a Vespa. And it helped credibility being the fastest standard Italian scooter on the road for a short period in 1962 before Lambretta could launch their TV200 in 1963 (it was reportedly faster than the TV175). Overall, with a fairly blistering performance of 8.9HP and with rounded design features that hid the spare wheel and internalised the luggage, the GS160 is regarded by many as the pinnacle best combination of Vespa performance and style. Eddie A. Grimstead & Son Ltd was a London scooter dealer with 2 premises in the east of the city. By the time of the GS160 release in 1962 scooter sales to older buyers were beginning to wane. 'Grimsteads' specialised in the sale of GS Vespas with the emphasis on tuning and the fitting of attractive accessories. It became a Mecca for younger scooter buyers and was in tune with the Mod culture of the time.In current ownership for over 15 years, we are advised the vendor traced this 1962 Vespa's history through the details on the original continuation logbook, believing it was sold new by Eddy Grimstead’s dealership on May 21st, 1962, the day the GS160 was released in Great Britain. It's understood to have been upgraded at 'Grimsteads' to SS180 specification, featuring a 180 top end, an SS180 leg shield badge and the original ‘Grimstead Hurricane’ speedometer. The scooter was re-framed onto a Mk2 Service Replacement Chassis (SRU), but the engine remains the original GS160 engine, number 549 off the production line. The continuation logbook, which lists the engine size as 180, picks up from when the last London owner moved to Norwich. The scooter comes with tax discs from its last years on the road, the last one dated 1977. The engine is free and turning, although it hasn’t been started since 1977. Adorned in Grimstead style, the scooter features original accessories from the era, including an Ulma horncast, wheel discs, leg shield trim, Florida bars and Vigano Jag lights. It also has two spare wheels and Miller spotlights mounted on the front Ulma crash bars. With unique patina, the scooter’s originality is remarkable, making it a true time warp piece of Mod history.This scooter is adorned with a full array of period accessories all from the era and probably sold with the scooter including Ulma horncast, wheel discs, leg shield trim and Florida bars and other accessories including Vigano Jag lights and rear rack and a Metalplast GS mudflap. In keeping with the mod tradition the scooter has 2 spare wheels. And the front Ulma crash bars have Miller spotlights mounted. We note that the headset was highly polished at some point and that the side panels had been chromed and the resulting patina that time has allowed quite simply cannot be replicated.

Registration No: 176 YUX Frame No: 150Li*526131 MOT: ExemptFull restoration by Dave Barrett with new RT 230 engine at cost of over £4,500Superbly presentedV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Li series 1 was properly launched in April 1958. Some 7 months after the TV175 series 1 was launched. By then Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the 175 had. The Li was a dramatic departure from the shaft driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10 inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was instant hit.This extremely presentable ‘framebreather’ has been carefully considered to be a real riders scooter but retaining the classic Series 1 originality and design features. The paint condition is of an exceptional standard. On the instructions of our vendor the restoration work was entrusted to the highly regarded Dave Barrett of Bridgewater. The engine specified was an RT230 viewed as one of the best engines available for Lambrettas for power and reliability, coupled with a BGM carburettor and big bore exhaust. The scooter, of course, has been converted to 12v with added ignition and the speedometer is a new 90 MPH Veglia version. There is ample luggage space with a large inside leg shield glove box in addition to the underseat top box. The seat itself is a quality Italian made Pegasus version by Trezzi.

Registration No: DBL 84B Frame No: T12015440 MOT: ExemptRestored to a good standard and lightly used sinceSought after 'Bonnie'Offered with a current V5C and old MOTsDebuting in 1959, the Bonneville is arguably the definitive British sporting vertical twin. Derived from its Tiger 110 stablemate and influenced by production racing practice, the newcomer featured a twin carburettor-fed cylinder head. The model was revised annually to keep it ahead of rivals. New frames were introduced in 1960 and 1963, the latter coinciding with a switch to unit construction. For 1964 the Bonneville benefited from new front forks fitted with external springs and the adoption of steel mudguards, while its 650cc engine was made freer breathing and gained larger carburettor chokes. Differences existed between the US and UK market machines, the former utilising higher set handlebars and an alternative twist grip. However, variants on both sides of The Pond featured a Gold over Alaskan White petrol tank complimented by Gold-striped White mudguards. Accompanied by lots of receipts for parts and work carried out, this handsome T120R is understood to have seen light use since being restored to a good standard. Reportedly a ‘matching numbers’ machine, it is finished in authentic colours and offered for sale with a current V5C Registration Document and sundry MOT paperwork.

Big specV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 series but with an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers. The Rear plate and fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models were fitted with a Veglia 120 km/h speedometer face and a dual seat. The ‘Lambretta’ and ‘TV175’ side panel badges were attached to the panels with small nuts as opposed to the riveted badges on the series 2 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.We were able to trace the recent technical history of this scooter. Built by Jay Marriott in the mid to late '60s Mod customisation style in 2012, the engine is a Rapido 225 on a SIL 200 engine with an Amal Mk1 carburettor with a Royspeed manifold. It's 12v ignition but wired into the regulator and then into an original rectifier cover. The piston is an Avanti with barrel tuned by Harry Barlow with a Mark Broadhurst cylinder head and an AF crank. It has an original TV1 BECME ignition switch still with its half-moon spring cover, a 48mm clubman exhaust, Scootopia Ulma rear carrier and an original front mudguard, a chopper-style Sidewinder seat, polished headset and rear light housing. The fog lights appear to be wired-in and airhorns are present. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

The VBA had a completely redesigned body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability and fuel consumption whilst requiring less oil in the fuel mix. The carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. The whole package was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. The VBB replaced the VBA in 1960 and increased the gears from 3 to 4 whilst also making some aesthetic improvements to the look including an attractively shaped clam shape speedometer, alloy leg shield border and GS style rear light. Today the VBB is an appealing Vespa and an appreciating model. This VBB is believed to be Italian built but due to the speedometer layout it has almost certainly been re-imported from the Far East. It is complete and the engine turns and its still standard on 6v electronics. The chassis number could be made clearer with more work.

Production began two years later at a purpose built factory in Eibar. Sales were good and around 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. In 1965 The Scooterlinea was presented to the public first in Barcelona then in Madrid. The slender and more aerodynamic body shape followed the Italian series 3 styling albeit some years after in timeline. Some argue that the Spanish built Lambrettas were of a superior quality.Here we present a very original and straight example in full running condition. Still on 6V points and with its original ‘El Tigre’ seat which is in fabulous original condition. Some of the rubbers around the scooter have had to be renewed but only when absolutely necessary according to the vendor, and of course new tyres. The carburettor was ultrasonically cleaned and the engine is absolutely standard and unmodified with its original piston and barrel from new. The engine was however subject to a full de-coke and replacement gaskets and at the time of consignment it has to be said that the engine sounded very good. On further inspection the cables all appear to be original with correct oilers in place. The vendor told us that he had never opened the headset in his ownership because everything worked and he has never had to. The scooter is complimented by original Spanish accessories including front bumper and flat rear spare wheel holder. A very honest scooter in our opinion. Spanish 150 engines are quite sought after nowadays as the wider barrel mouth is suitable to directly accommodate many of the upgrade engine kits including Quattrini kits.

Registration No: P422 RSF Frame No: 1HD1FCR1XVY615534 MOT: T.B.AJust one previous owner from newS & S engine partsRuns very wellLoaded with extrasThe wonderfully evocative ‘Electra Glide’ moniker first appeared on a Harley Davidson back in 1965 when an electric starter was added to the then new Shovelhead V-Twin. Six decades on, the Milwaukee firm remains synonymous with super comfortable, long distance tourers. A range topper, the Ultra Classic could be had in carburettor or fuel injection guises and with such niceties as an inbuilt intercom system and carpet lined panniers.Looking resplendent in Black with Gold pinstriping and Gold alloy wheels, this particular example has had just one previous keeper and displays a mere 38,000 miles to its odometer. The engine sports numerous S&S ‘Super Stock’ dress parts but its internal state of tune is unknown. Entered from a deceased estate and little used of late, the Harley started readily and sounded great during our recent photography session. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, two sets of keys and, temptingly, no reserve. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: NOU 77R Frame No: VMA1T 0144526 MOT: ExemptLong term VVC club member's scooterOriginal parts retained throughoutIn running conditionOffered with V5CThe first version of the Vespa Primavera was unveiled at the 1967 Milan motorcycle show and proved revolutionary: small, agile and propelled by a perky engine the Primavera remained in continuous production until 1982. It became a legendary model and also one of the most spectacular commercial successes in Vespa's history. The Primavera incorporated and combined a number of unique characteristics that had featured on other Vespa models. With previous sport models in mind like the GS, a small body like the Vespa 50 introduced in 1963 and the racing SS90, the Primavera was a fresh new model that particularly appealed to the younger rider. An elegant and quick scooter with extraordinary handling that only one who has ridden one can relate to. The standard Primavera remained in production for 15 years. This nice example has been owned by our vendor for 5 years and he had never started it. He bought it from VVC club member L. Hale who had acquired it, we understand, from the late Vespa expert Bill Drake. It was ridden at Euro Vespa 1994 in Girona, Spain. The last tax disc is 2008, with the original speedometer reading c.12,469 miles. There are many original parts all over the machine as it is still a standard 125 with original Dellorto carburettor and still 6v on original electronics. A new steering lock and key are supplied with the scooter. Despite the fact that the owner had never previously tried to start it our consultant was able to see the scooter running.
