Registration – KGH 699 Chassis No. – TBC M.O.T. – Exempt Odometer – 61,504 Offered 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 Reserve Australian import and ripe for restoration Sanden air conditioning installed

A MERCH VEE TWIN MOTORCYCLE ENGINE rebuilt and rebored to 2100cc (128 Cubic inch) Serial No EB3714782, with an S&S Super carburettor and filter cover, stamped D-4, Serial Number DG14771, an Arlen Ness oil pressure gauge.

Registration No: RKM 620 Chassis No: E3/PE/24341 MOT: ExemptIn previous ownership for some fifteen years and widely improved in this timeFactory re-conditioned engine and boasting its original registration numberRecent overhauled water pump, attention to the gear linkages, and four new cross ply tyresOffered with a history file including buff logbookIntroduced in 1947, the Jowett Javelin was a highly innovative design. The work of Gerald Palmer (poached from MG some five years earlier), it boasted monocoque construction, wind-cheating aerodynamics, all-round independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering. Powered by a gutsy flat-four OHV twin-carburettor fed 1486cc engine mated to a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox (complete with column change), it combined 80mph performance with distinctly sporty handling. A full five-/six-seater family car, its poise and agility were rewarded with class wins in the Monte Carlo Rally (1949, 1951), Spa 24-hours (1949, 2-litre Touring Car) and Tulip International Rally (1953). Upgraded with a fully hydraulic braking system in 1952, it succumbed to Jowett's financial woes the following year after some 23,307 had been made (though, survivors are comparatively few and far between).‘RKM 260’ was registered new by Kent County Council on the 13th of July 1953, being supplied to its first owner a Walter William Wright. Passing through several owners through the 1950s and 1960s, the Javelin is next known to have been acquired by the previous ownership in 2009. A regular attendee of local events and shows through this fifteen-year ownership, the Jowett was widely improved during this time, benefiting from over £2,000 worth of improvement including boot floor restoration; refreshed suspension with new shock absorbers; new wheel cylinders; new gearbox bearings and clutch; restored fuel tank; overhauled carburettors; new valve springs; new timing chain; and fuel pump refurbished.Purchased by the vendor just over a year ago, having owned a Javelin in the 1960s, unfortunately, circumstances have since changed. Further improved in his ownership however, receiving a water pump overhaul, attention to the gear linkages, and four new cross ply tyres. Boasting its original registration number, at some stage of its life, the Javelin received a factory re-conditioned engine. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the vendor informs that all the switches and dials on the dashboard work, including the clock! Offered with a history file that contains the buff logbooks, a collection of previous MOT certificates, tax discs, and original instruction book, maintenance manual, spare parts catalogue, competition tuning notes guide, and lubrication chart. Supplied with a current V5C document. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: 173 UYT Chassis No: 12104010022709 MOT: ExemptImported to the United Kingdom from Canada in 2008Presented in the highly attractive colour scheme of Mercedes White (DB050) with Red leather interior upholsteryResiding in current ownership since 2016Much mechanical improvement while in the vendor’s custodianshipThe 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced. Factory finished in the elegant combination of Mercedes White (DB050) with Red leather upholstery and a Black hood, this particular example – chassis 12104010022709 – is understood to have been supplied new to the German market. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean sometime thereafter, the 190SL reportedly spent four decades in North America before going under the hammer with Rob Myers Auctions during 2008. One of several cars bought at that Ontario sale and imported to the UK, the Mercedes-Benz spent the next eight years stored in a Carcoon. Entering the current ownership in 2016, chassis 12104010022709 was recommissioned for road use and registered with the DVLA as ‘173 UYT’. Converted to run on unleaded petrol and fitted with a re-cored radiator during 2020, the Roadster was entrusted to Woolmer Classic Engineering two years later for the installation of a Gower & Lee Weber carburettor conversion kit which cost some £2,800. Covering a modest 500 miles or so during the vendor’s nine-year tenure, ‘173 UYT’ is supplied with a history file that includes the importation documentation, an inspection letter from the Mercedes-Benz Club, previous MOT certificates, an original owner’s manual, and current V5C document. Also accompanying the 190SL are a spare set of wheels, as well as the original carburettors, jack, and warning triangle.

Registration No: XGW 344 Chassis No: AN5/22883 MOT: ExemptBuilt to RHD Personal Export specification and supplied new to Mrs Lilian Chamberlian of Weymouth, DorsetOrdered with such niceties as a heater, rev counter and front bumper (as per its Heritage Certificate)The subject of much past restoration work (some of which was photographically documented)Appears to pleasingly retain its original engine which has been converted to run on unleaded petrolTonneau cover, hood and sidescreensIntended as a spiritual successor to pre-WW2 sports cars such as the MG M-type or Austin 7 Nippy, the Austin-Healey Sprite was launched in May 1958. Fruit of the partnership between Donald Healey and Austin's Leonard Lord, its design costs were kept to a minimum through some inspired parts bin raiding. Built around a lightweight monocoque, it utilised the Austin A35's independent front suspension and four-speed gearbox. Powered by a twin-carburettor fed 948cc A-series four-cylinder engine developing some 43bhp/52lbft, it was capable of over 80mph. Put on sale for just £669 rarely before or since has a sports car enjoyed such a large fun-to-price ratio. According to its accompanying Heritage Certificate and copy warranty slip, chassis AN5/22883 was supplied new by Tilleys Ltd of Weymouth to Mrs Lilian Chamberlian via the Personal Export Delivery Scheme. Finished in Iris Blue with Dark Blue upholstery and a Black hood, extras specified for the two-seater included a heater, rev counter and front bumper. The original buff logbook shows that the Frogeye was first registered to the Austin Motors Export Corporation on 28th September 1959 under the London-issued number plate ‘XGW 344’. Re-registered to Mrs Chamberlain at her Dorset address less than two weeks later, it is unknown whether the Sprite spent any time overseas. Painted Old English White for a time, the Frogeye was treated to an extensive (partially photographically documented) restoration some two decades ago that returned it to its initial colours. Converted to run on unleaded as part of its overhaul, the engine appears to be the original factory-fitted unit. Sporting a tonneau, hood and sidescreens plus a luggage rack, ‘XGW 344’ remains highly presentable to our eyes. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file – a delight.

Registration No: DXI 491 Chassis No: 10867S100908 MOT: ExemptExhaustive two-year professional restoration completed shortly after importationPurchased by the vendor from marque specialists Corvette KingdomInvoices on file for some £86,000 worth of expenditure since arrival in the United KingdomSensibly uprated with a brake servo and rack and pinion steering for enhanced driveabilityWorthy of close inspection!Now in its eighth generation, the 'Vette began life in 1953 with the C1 - a model that captivated a generation of American youngsters. It was the work of the legendary Harley Earl and inspired by the great European road/race offerings of the day. It borrowed its name - of French origin - from centuries of small, fast warships. The newcomer was first seen in concept form at the New York Auto Show, and generated sufficient interest for General Motors to hand-build a batch of 300 Polo White Convertibles. Sales, slow at first, had built to no less than 14,000 per annum by the introduction of the C2 10 years later. The C1 received multiple cosmetic updates along the way, the most significant of which came in 1958 when the nose was lengthened and dual headlights were introduced. The model was initially only available with a straight-six powerplant but soon progressed to V8 power units of varying horsepower with various transmission options.Manufactured in 1961, the Corvette C1 offered was supplied new to the Chevrolet's native United States of America, residing there until imported to the United Kingdom in 2008 from the state of Michigan. Provided to Tim Lang Restoration Centre, the Corvette was thereafter provided with an extensive restoration over the subsequent twelve months. The body-off restoration comprised a full chassis refresh and repaint; hundreds of hours of attention to the bodywork and paintwork; an overhauled engine with re-bored block, reground crank, new pistons and rings, main bearings, oil pump, and much more; quick shift gearbox overhaul; new brakes throughout; full suspension overhaul; new body fittings; new hood; fully re-trimmed interior; wheels refreshed; and exhaustive new parts. Provided its first MOT in 2010 at 83,154 recorded miles, the Corvette has now covered very minimal mileage since the completion of the restoration.In 2013, the continued exceptional maintenance of the Corvette meant the car was entrusted to marque specialists Corvette Kingdom for further extensive improvements. The engine was again removed and detailed, and fitted with a new Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and Holley 600 carburettor, new HEI distributor, new aluminium radiator with auxiliary cooling fan, built-in transmission cooler, and a dual Magnaflow exhaust system installed, with the engine bay also resprayed and detailed. The TH350 transmission was removed, re-sealed, and reinstalled with a new three-speed shifter. A front disc brake conversion was supplied, along with a dual circuit master cylinder, and the rear axle was fitted with new wheel bearings. The brakes were again overhauled, with the wheels sandblasted and repainted and fitted with new whitewall tyres.Acquired by the vendor in 2018 from Corvette Kingdom, the Chevrolet has been an attendee of local shows during his ownership, again covering very minimal mileage. Enhanced with uprated steering through a rack and pinion steering column fitment from Corvette Kingdom in 2020 to the cost of some £3,600, the C1 has further benefited from new front exhaust pipes (2021, Corvette Kingdom £1,270) and a new ignition switch. Worthy of close inspection, the vendor rates the Corvette as excellent throughout (regarding engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, and interior trim). The Corvette started readily and ran well during our recent photography session.Offered for auction with a history file which includes extensive invoices on file that add up to a massive £86,000 of expenditure on the Corvette since its arrival in the United Kingdom, including £26,000 on the works completed by Corvette Kingdom and £23,500 with Tim Lang Restoration Centre. Also included in the history file is a photograph album from the restoration with Tim Lang, import documentation, previous MOT certificates, Michigan State Title, and a current V5C document. Such well presented examples of early Corvettes are a rare find on British shores, so this example with exhaustive improvements and maintenance is surely one to consider for anyone in the market for a C1 Corvette.

Registration No: WMU 207G Chassis No: GCD154870 MOT: March 2026Recently emerged from a full restoration including an engine overhaulFitted with a new interior, loom and wire wheelsUnderstood to be one of 4,458 GT's madeOffered with a collection of invoices and current V5C documentPLEASE NOTE: The collection of restoration photographs and invoices will be for forwarded to the successful buyerIntended 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 floor pan) externally, the only differences were a distinctive bonnet bulge to accommodate the relocated radiator and a teardrop for carburettor clearance. The newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine and promised a 120mph top speed. Too readily confused with its four-cylinder sibling to be a sales success, the MGC was dropped in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs had allegedly been made. A home market example, 'WMU 207G' has recently emerged from a comprehensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration which included an engine overhaul. Finished in Blue with a Black re-trimmed interior, the MG was treated to a new wiring loom and a set of wire wheels. The reason for sale is unfortunately due to the vendor's poor health. Unable to properly enjoy the C GT since its rejuvenation, he nevertheless informs us that (a) the engine and gearbox ‘perform well', and (b) ‘it’s a nice lively car to enjoy the driving experience’. Offered with a collection of photographs, invoices and the current V5C document. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: JCA 654 Chassis No: 2791022 MOT: December 2025One of just 260 'Round Taillight', UK market cars producedMuch recent expenditureNew Baur Targa roof from 'Cabrio Supply'c.72,000 miles displayed on the odometerIntroduced in 1968, the 2002 was arguably the first model to lend credence to BMW's present day 'ultimate driving machine' reputation. Supposedly prompted by Machiavellian New York car importer Max Hoffman's demands for a sportier version of the 1502 / 1602 range, the 2002 shared its siblings steel monocoque, anti-roll bar tempered all round independent suspension (Macpherson strut front, semi-trailing arm rear) and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1990cc, SOHC four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, the lightweight saloon (less than a 1,000kg) was surprisingly fast. With 100bhp and 123lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 10.2 seconds and a top speed of 110mph. Launched in 1971, the Baur-designed 2002 Cabriolet featured a sturdy rollover hoop separating the detachable targa panel at the front from the folding hood to the rear. Suitably strengthened, the Cabriolet suffered only a slight weight penalty and no discernible loss of performance. Able to seat four in comfort, it was updated in common with the rest of the range in 1973. Total RHD Cabriolet production reputedly amounted to 354 cars (260 of which sported ‘round taillights’). Finished in the timeless combination of 'Chamonix' White with Black leather upholstery and a Black 'Baur' top, chassis 2791022 was built to right-hand drive specification and first UK registered on April 13th 1973. Understood to have spent a good proportion of the 1980s and 1990s in Valencia at one of its previous keepers’ residences which helped preserve its structure / underside, the BMW has been professionally undersealed during the current, two-year ownership. Sourcing parts from marque specialist Jaymic and Linwar and using the services of I.K. Classics and Marriott Auto Services, the vendor has had attention paid to the 2002’s brake system (front discs, callipers, servo, master cylinder etc), clutch (master cylinder) and carburettor etc. Further benefiting from a new hood (£731.95) and the installation of electronic ignition, ‘JCA 654’ passed its last MOT test with ‘no advisories’. A rare, stylish four-seater Cabriolet, this ‘round taillight’ 2002 Bauer has much to recommend it. Offered for sale with bookpack, invoices and current V5C document.

Registration No: UJ 4729 Chassis No: 215669 MOT: ExemptPhoto-documented restoration completed in 2022Reputedly one of only 600-700 builtOffered with a history file which includes a collection of MOTs and invoicesUprated with electronic ignition, electric water pump and a twin carburettor equipped racing cylinder headSome 103 years on from its introduction, the Austin Seven's popularity shows little sign of waning. Cheap to buy, easy to tune and hard to break (relatively speaking), the Seven utilised a lightweight A-frame chassis equipped with an all-round leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / quarter-elliptic rear), four-wheel drum brakes and a spiral bevel back axle. Powered by a 747cc four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed (later four-speed) manual transmission, it was capable of some 50mph in standard tune but nearly two-and-a-half times that figure in Works supercharged single-seater guise! Indeed, it was enthusiasm for Herbert Austin's 'baby' that led to the foundation of the 750 Motor Club in 1939; an organisation which for many years seemed entirely focused on making decrepit Sevens into improbably fast racers or road cars. Introduced in January 1958, the Hamblin Cadet was among the better known kits for transforming an Austin Seven into a two-seater sports car. Designed by crash repairer turned special builder Syd Hamblin, it was sold by the likes of Super Accessories, Boult Bros., Halifax Panel Beating Co. and Speedex. Priced at just £34 10s 0d (in self-build guise) but looking not unlike a formula racer thanks to its oval grille, cigar profile and bulbous tail, the fibreglass Cadet reputedly accounted for some 600-700 sales.This Austin Seven-based Hamblin Cadet has benefitted from much work. A photo-documented restoration was completed in 2022 and offered a timely opportunity to upgrade components for both reliability and performance. An overhauled engine, described as 'costing thousands', was utilised and built-up with a twin carburettor-equipped racing cylinder head, lightened flywheel, racing pistons, large inlet valves and a new crank. In turn, the ancillaries were uprated with electronic ignition and an electric water pump. Riding on uprated suspension, including new rear shock absorbers new large capacity aluminium tank and a re-wire before the bodywork was repainted. This enticingly sorted and handsome Special is being offered with a current V5C Registration Document and a history file which includes a collection of MOTs and invoices, some of which date back to 1989.

Registration No: PLF 99R Chassis No: MP4397DLAP MOT: June 2025Believed to be one of 62 S configurations still on the road todayA well maintained and frequently used classicFitted with a desirable 4-speed manual gearbox with overdriveAn extremely usable classic British saloon carIntroduced in October 1969, the Mk2 version of Triumph’s critically acclaimed 2000 / 2500 range utilised the same monocoque construction, all-round independent suspension and disc / drum brakes as its predecessor. Restyled by Giovanni Michelotti, the newcomer presaged the aesthetics of the upcoming Stag sportscar. Arriving in June 1975, the ultimate 2500 S variant was powered by a twin carburettor-fed 2498cc straight-six allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission. Riding on 14-inch wheels and uprated with an anti-roll bar, it accounted for 8,164 sales and proved the swansong for Triumph’s six-cylinder line. Factory finished in the period combination of Honeysuckle with Chestnut cloth upholstery, chassis MP4397DLA was first registered in London on August 3rd 1976 (or so its ‘PLF 99R’ number plate would imply). Entering the current (seventh) ownership during late 2021, the Triumph has benefited from much past restoration work including conversion from automatic to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. Used by the vendor on high days and holidays, he has submitted the 2500 S for regular MOT testing despite its eligibility for exemption. Believed but not warranted to have covered some 113,000 miles from new, the four-seater started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Handsome, practical and fun to drive, Triumph’s 2000/2500 models have arguably been undervalued for years. For more information, please contact: Angus Fender angus.fender@handh.co.uk 07958490484

Is there a finer nod to the early 1970s than a beautifully presented Escort 1300E in gleaming Arizona Gold? The Ford Escort 1300E, the 'E' standing for 'Executive', was introduced as the luxury variant within the Escort Mk1 range, offering refined appointments and subtle upgrades over the standard model. With its wood-trimmed interior, distinctive badging and uprated suspension, the 1300E bridged the gap between everyday saloons and sporting Escorts of the era. The car offered here is a particularly rare and exceptional example, finished in the seldom-seen Arizona Gold — a striking original colour that perfectly complements its understated character.The 1300E on offer is a genuine UK-supplied vehicle, first registered on 28th November 1974 and delivered by Ford Eastbourne to its first owner. It has had just three owners from new, retaining its original owners certificate within the factory service book. Showing just 84,000 miles, it has been the subject of a thoroughly detailed nut and bolt restoration, executed to an exceptional standard with an emphasis on originality and period accuracy.The restoration made extensive use of new/old stock (NOS) parts and the quality of the work is evident throughout. Remarkably, the shell retained all its original paint and had never suffered from poor repairs or accident damage. It had been Ziebart rust-proofed from new and this early protection proved highly effective. While minor bodywork repairs were necessary, including new rear arches, sills, front wings, a front panel and a single front floor pan. The structure, including the doorsteps, inner sills, jacking points, chassis rails and wheel wells were completely solid and subsequently treated with epoxy primer inside and out, high-build primer and a durable Raptor-coated underside, all before being refinished in its original Arizona Gold with a modern 2K clear coat.All exterior trim and detailing were either replaced with new/old stock items or restored to 'as-new' condition. New window rubbers, door seals, a brand new vinyl roof, replacement chrome bumpers with over-riders, new/old stock lights, Lucas indicators and a set of restored original wheels with new chrome rings and nuts all contribute to the car’s concours-level finish. The original pressed number plates have been carefully stripped, polished and rebuilt.Mechanically, the car retains its original 1,300cc engine and running gear, which have been fully stripped and rebuilt, retaining all period correct features such as points, condenser and a Motorcraft ignition system. The engine benefits from a reconditioned twin-choke Weber carburettor, new gaskets, hoses with correct stainless clips, a new exhaust system finished in high-temperature paint and original engine bay decals, including the distinctive blue 'dustbin lid' air cleaner.The suspension and braking system have also received a comprehensive overhaul, with all components stripped, refinished in 2K paint, and clear-coated. New bearings, seals, master cylinder, brake callipers, discs, drums and handbrake components have been fitted, alongside polybushes and all-new genuine fasteners in stainless steel, right down to the crosshead screws.The interior has been beautifully re-trimmed in period correct materials, including newly upholstered front seats, a restored dashboard top, fresh carpets and a re-covered leather steering wheel. The wooden dashboard trim has been painstakingly refinished with 12 coats of 2K lacquer, achieving a rich, deep gloss. Notably, the car has never had a radio fitted and thus retains its original uncut dashboard and speaker-free parcel shelf. A new laminated windscreen, new interior fittings and a complete boot area with jack and tool bag round out the package.With its outstanding originality, superb condition and sympathetic yet thorough restoration, this rare Arizona Gold 1300E stands as one of the finest Escort saloons we've encountered.

Owners Club awards including Open Day & Rally Best Lightweight 2001, Rally & Open Day 2003 Best Lightweight Under 250cc, Best 175 Bantam Billing 2004, Open Day Best Two Stroke 2005, Open Day 2006 Best Lightweight, and Rally & Open Day 2007 Best Lightweight Under 250cc.The introduction of the 172cc BSA Bantam D10 model in 1966 marked a number of important technical developments for the ever-popular Bantam, the most important of which were a change to coil ignition and the adoption of a four-speed gearbox, while a raised compression ratio and bigger carburettor increased maximum power to 10bhp and the top speed to 62mph. Introduced for 1968, the successor D14 Bantam boasted a more powerful engine producing 12.6bhp and the top speed of 65mph. All three models – Supreme, Sports and Bushman – used the four-speed gearbox first seen on the preceding D10 while the latter pair boasted new, heavy-duty front forks.  The Sports was discontinued in 1969. Provenance: the vendor purchased this motorcycle from the BSA Bantam Club area representative, who had arranged the sale on behalf of a widow whose husband had been a member of the club;  he had bought it from another member of the BSA Bantam club previously. Note: 10% Buyers Premium, plus VAT on Buyers Premium on this lot.

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. The vendor tells us that the estimate for this stunning Ford is far less than the restoration costs and that this F100 would surely feature well in any collection.

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!

Property of a deceased's estate; ex-Roland Pike c.1952 Pike-BSA 350cc Gold Star Racing Motorcycle Registration no. BAN 693C Frame no. 26.2.1948 Engine no. ZB32.GS.6074 Spare engine no. none •One of only two Pike-framed BSAs •Raced at the Isle of Man TT in 1952 •Known ownership history •Present ownership since 1970 •Unused since at least 1999 •Requires recommissioning An important figure in BSA's history, and that of the Gold Star in particular, Roland Pike completed an engineering apprenticeship at Armstrong-Siddeley and Daimler Cars in London in the 1930s. Born in 1914, he started his competition career in 1935 and soon became adept at improving the Rudge machines he favoured for racing. In the immediately post-war years Roland was virtually unbeatable on the 250 Pike Rudge and secured a fine 2nd place in the 1948 Lightweight TT behind Maurice Cann's works Moto Guzzi. The McCandless brothers having demonstrated the superiority of swinging-arm rear suspension with what would become the Norton Featherbed frame, Roland designed and built two lightweight welded frames of his own to take BSA engines, the frame number of this example suggesting it was built in February 1948. One frame was built to take a '350' Gold Star engine while the other had an all-alloy Star Twin '500' installed, and both were taken to the Isle of Man TT races in 1952. Despite him scoring a 'DNF' in both the Junior and Senior races, Roland's obvious talent as a rider and development engineer did not go unnoticed, leading to an offer of employment from BSA to head up the Development Shop, which was mainly concerned with improving the performance of the Gold Star. As time went on Roland became increasingly frustrated with the attitude of the BSA board, which regularly turned down proposals to improve their products on grounds of cost. In 1957 he left BSA and emigrated with his family to the USA, pursuing a career in the motor trade there (where he worked for Jaguar) and then in Canada. He died in South Carolina in 1999. According to the BSA Gold Star Owners' Club, this motorcycle's rolling chassis has all the widely documented features of the two frames designed by Roland Pike and finished at the BSA factory in 1952. The oval, tapered down-tube and swinging arm details are correct, as is the frame layout including the lay-down multi-position rear suspension units (which pre-date the Velocette patent on this idea). The top fork yoke is to the factory Daytona competition pattern and the front forks are BSA. Much of the detailing has been changed over the years, which should be no surprise given the bike's long history of works supported development and subsequent hard use in racing from Grand Prix level down to club racing in later years. The front wheel is the original pattern 8' ventilated type, now fitted with a Taylor-Dow front brake plate, while the original oil tank, fuel tank and seat have been replaced with later 'off the peg' components. These changes reflect the continued repair, maintenance and upgrading that any competition motorcycle would receive. There is no evidence of the front down-tube having ever been cut out and replaced. Although at present a '350', this machine may well have started life with a 500cc engine installed. Engine number 'ZB32.GS.6074' is an engine that has been a mystery to the Gold Star Owners' Club for some time. '6073' and '6075' were signed off for dynamometer test on 22nd May 1952 and so '6074' was probably in this batch although there is no test sheet for this engine. It might be significant that this date is just before the TT races, which the Pike BSA entered. It might also be significant that there is no record of this engine in the factory dispatch books. It is widely documented that the Pike-BSAs were raced at Grand Prix level by Dennis Lashmar in 1953 and '54 and that he received factory support through Roland Pike in the Development Shop. There is also photographic evidence that the engine received continual upgrading through BB32 to CB32 specification. It has been noted that both Pike frames had been registered for road use at different times and that this engine was recorded as fitted on both occasions! The spare 'Big Fin' 500 Gold Star engine with no numbers (that accompanies the machine) is a total mystery, but with a plausible explanation. The cylinder head has been machined to the Kuzmicki pattern squish type in conjunction with, probably, a short-stroke Manx Norton piston (Leo Kuzmicki was a development engineer working for Norton). There is a central spark plug and the engine is apparently of short stoke to match the Manx-type piston. It was also noted that the crankshaft lacks the shock absorber extension on the drive side. It is widely documented that Roland Pike built a variety of such engines in the Development Shop, experimenting with various strokes, crankshaft designs, squish-band heads, etc. The Kuzmicki pattern squish head is a very complex shape to machine, indicating a factory effort: this is not a home workshop conversion, it is too difficult! On file are several letters from Roland Pike to the late owner, in which he says that he sold everything after the 1952 TT. It is believed that following the death of Dennis Lashmar in 1954, both bikes were sold to the same buyer. In a letter on file, the late owner states that this Pike-BSA had previously been raced by Paul Selleck, who was the owner when it was featured in Motorcycle Sport magazine in August 1968. In the article (photocopy on file) it states that Selleck had bought the machine three years previously from Dave Elden. The machine was a '350' and several of Selleck's modifications are mentioned: TLS front brake conversion, alloy central oil tank, and alloy chain guard. It was also noted that the cylinder head had been modified to accept a larger Amal GP carburettor and had a central spark plug. In another letter on file Selleck is said to have sold the Pike-BSA to Don Coles. The late owner purchased the machine on 23rd September 1970 from an Edward Reading (receipt on file). In the aforementioned letter the late owner states that due to an engine blow up, he installed a special 500cc engine built by Jim Smith of Pegsdon and used it sporadically until 1996 when the '350' engine was rebuilt by Gold Star specialist Phil Pearson. The machine's first outing post rebuild was to the Beezumph 6 rally in 1996. The Pike-BSA has been unused since at least 1999 when the vendors' father passed away. The accompanying history file (perusal recommended) contains an old-style continuation logbook, an old V5, Phil Pearson's engine rebuild details, and extensive correspondence with Roland Pike. This motorcycle's mechanical condition and completeness (or otherwise) is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the provenance of this fascinating piece of BSA history prior to bidding. Close inspection advised.

Its races are run at British Historic Racing's meetings at circuits throughout the UK and there are two classes: 125 Formula Bantam and 175 Formula Bantam. To keep costs down, modifications are strictly limited: in the 125's case only three gears are allowed. Despite these apparent handicaps, a well ridden Bantam is capable of mixing it with much larger machinery, particularly on shorter tracks. Lightened throughout, the racing Bantam offered here incorporates the frame from a D5 model, Honda front forks, and a Honda front brake. A note on file suggests that the engine has been tuned with special internals, a high-compression cylinder head, and a Gardner carburettor. Other notable features include a Smiths 10,000rpm rev counter; expansion chamber exhaust system; steering damper; alloy wheel rims; and a glassfibre tank and seat. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the racetrack and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

M-600398-6•The best privateer 125 racer of its day•An older restoration•Requires recommissioning'Since the first TSS 125s were produced, a few select, experienced riders have ridden machines incorporating the latest design innovations, but as soon as these changes proved to be a benefit without sacrificing safety, they have been passed on to the private owner. Generally, they were things of a bolt-on nature, and an individual anywhere in the world could simply add a part to his machine and have performance equal to that of the very latest racers from the factory.' - Cycle World, November 1st 1966.Spurred on by the racing successes achieved by tuned versions of its first model, the Tralla 101, Bultaco went one stage further and developed its first purpose-built racing motorcycle: the legendary TSS (Tralla Super Sport), 125cc prototypes of which began testing in 1960. About as simple as a racing motorcycle can get, the air-cooled two-stroke single developed 20bhp initially, which proved sufficient to win races at national level worldwide and compete without embarrassment in Grands Prix, provided the rider had enough talent. It was demonstrably the best 125 that privateers could buy at the time. Self-generating electronic ignition, a six-speed gearbox, and water-cooling were the most significant advances, the latter arriving on customer bikes for 1965. Geared primary drive came later.Among the first racers to campaign the Spanish two-strokes in the UK were Tommy Robb and Dan Shorey, the latter taking the coveted ACU Star (British Championship) in the 125cc class in 1961. Armed with a 196cc TSS, Shorey enjoyed a phenomenal run of success in the 1962 250cc World Championship, twice finishing 4th behind a trio of works Hondas to end the year in 7th place overall. He also took the British 125cc and 250cc Championships that same year. This water-cooled (believed six-speed) Bultaco 125cc TSS is an older restoration, clearly repainted but retaining its believed original seat upholstery and tank strap. Other notable features include a Smiths 12,000rpm rev counter, alloy wheel rims and Gardner flat-slide carburettor. Offered with a single 'as purchased' image only.

c.1966 BSA 172cc BantamRegistration no. GJO 691DFrame no. D7 49727Engine no. D10 6626Developed from the pre-war DKW RT125 and announced in 1948, the Bantam became a top seller for BSA, in excess of 500,000 leaving the Birmingham factory before production ceased in 1971. The introduction of the 172cc D10 model in 1966 marked a number of important developments, the most important of which were a change to coil ignition (replacing the old flywheel generator) and the adoption of a four-speed gearbox, while a raised compression ratio and bigger carburettor increased maximum power to 10bhp and the top speed to 62mph. Acquired by the private vendor in September 2023, this machine appears to consist of a circa 1965 D7 Bantam frame and a circa 1967 D10 Bantam engine. The HPI report lists the machine as 'previously registered overseas' and its first date of registration in the UK as 1st April 1978. The vendor describes the machine as cosmetically average; however, he advises us that the machine does not run (the engine turns over), hence it is sold strictly as viewed. The bantam is offered with V5C, stating '6 former keepers', and describes the machine as having been 'Rebuilt – assembled from parts, some or all of which were not new'. The odometer reading is 2,718 miles, presumably since the rebuild.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page, for bidders' obligations.

1954 Royal Enfield 346cc Bullet TrialsRegistration no. PFD 197Frame no. Not VisibleEngine no. G2/23913 (see text)The private vendor advises us that this machine is a genuine Trials Bullet which was purchased from the well-known photographer and trials guru, Don Morley in 1991. Prior to the ownership by Morley, the machine had been owned by John Surtees, as attested to by the old V5 and copy V5 on file. The present owner, a prolific competition trials rider, used this superbly prepared bike every year in the Talmag Trial for approximately 8 to 10 years, and has used it to win 11 vintage club championships. It has been modified for use in trials, as is always the case, being fitted with Norton Roadholder forks, and a later Amal Concentric carburettor. It benefits also from a Lucas Racing magneto. Due to advancing years, the vendor has not used the Bullet for at least 10 years, but it has been kept in a heated garage in good conditions. Accordingly, PFD 197 will need to be re-commissioned and checked over prior to use by a new owner, hence sold strictly as seen. The engine turns over. The owner kept a note book for the Enfield from 1991, logging details of all work done to the bike. Documentation comprises an old-style V5C, the aforementioned old V5 and copy old V5, an old green VE60 log book, the vehicle maintenance note book, and an expired MoT certificate. It should be noted that a change of engine has occurred at some time, as the engine number recorded on the V5C is G232607.

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collectionc.1961 BSA 500CC DBD34 Gold Star Registration no. TMS 558Frame no. CB32.11056 (restamped)Engine no. DBD.34.GS.6410.This BSA Gold Star was despatched new to J Forrester & Co Ltd of Falkirk, Scotland and first registered on 6th October 1961 to a Mr John McDougall of Campsie Glen. The BSA was taxed between 1961 and 1965 (see original RF.60 logbook on file). 'TMS 558' appears to have had only four private owners by the time the logbook was cancelled, the last listed being Roy Coyle of Canterbury, who was the Goldie's owner by 1983 and probably had acquired it circa 1965. The machine was purchased for the collection in 1993 and is believed to have had only five owners from new (see photocopied V5 registration documents and V5C on file). 'DBD34 GS 6410' is new to the Gold Star Owners' Club. It should be noted that the frame is an earlier CB32 type, dating from circa August 1960, that has been restamped to match the logbook.The odometer reading is only 3 miles, which is believed to be the distance covered since restoration. Notable features include an Amal GP2 carburettor; Dunlop flanged alloy wheel rims; matching Smiths instruments; clip-on handlebars; rear-set footrests; Doherty grips; and some modern fastenings. It should be noted that the engine will not turn over via the kickstart, possibly because the RRT2 gearbox is stuck in gear. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

1969 BSA 'D14' BantamRegistration no. UnregisteredFrame no. BD10269 137 (see text)Engine no. D14B 8845 (see text)The introduction of the 172cc D10 model in 1966 marked a number of important technical developments for the ever-popular Bantam, the most important of which were a change to coil ignition, replacing the old flywheel generator, and the adoption of a four-speed gearbox, while a raised compression ratio and bigger carburettor increased maximum power to 10bhp and the top speed to 62mph. Introduced for 1968, the successor D14 Bantam boasted a more powerful engine producing 12.6bhp.The private vendor advises us that he has owned this BSA Bantam D14 for three years, having purchased it from an auction in June 2023 for £1,664, the previous owner having acquired the machine in 2012. The vendor advises the Bantam has been fitted with Electrex World electronic ignition and a new Amal Mk1 Carburettor (in September 2023). The engine turns over easily but the machine does not run, hence it is sold strictly as viewed. The odometer reading is 27,441 miles. Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and the 2023 purchase receipt.It should be noted the V5C records the engine number as '12396', indicating that the engine has been changed for the current D14 172cc unit, and that the frame number appears to have been struck through and does not match the V5C for the displayed vehicle registration number. As a result, the machine is offered unregistered and without documents, and prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the origins and correctness of the machine's component parts prior to bidding.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page, for bidders' obligations.

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collection1960 Velocette 500cc Venom to 'Clubman' SpecificationRegistration no. 981 LKJFrame no. RS/15040Engine no. VM4398This extensively modified Velocette Venom has matching frame and engine numbers, and the gearbox's number is in the correct area. The machine was despatched from the factory as a standard Venom on 9th June 1960 bound for the Precision Garage dealership in Gillingham, Kent. The first owner was a Mr A Ray of Chatham, Kent, who purchased the Venom on 25th July 1960. It is not known when or by whom the modifications to (broadly) Clubman specification were made, but main dealer Ralph Seymour may have had some hand in the build. Unusually, this older restored Venom has been fitted with alloy wheels, most likely of CMA manufacture. Other notable features include a 4.25-gallon fuel tank; Thruxton tool box; Tommaselli Matador clip-ons; quick-action throttle; Amal Concentric carburettor; matching Smiths instruments; rear-set footrests; twin-leading-shoe front brake; and a non-standard saddle. The machine is offered with V5C, two photocopied V5 documents, one in the previous owner's name and one in the name of our late vendor, who purchased it in 1993. The Velo had belonged to the previous owner since 1982. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns). It should be noted, we are advised that the machine left the Velocette factory on the 9th of June 1960 to the dealer Precision Garage, Gillingham, Kent as a standard Venom.

1966 BSA 250cc C15G Registration no. XBF 89DFrame no. C15/G502Engine no. C15F16871966 was the last year of the C15 with the original swan-neck frame. Dating from 1965, this example's engine is the first of the side-points type, which superseded the distributor ignition. It has a roller big-end bearing and timing-side bush.The BSA was purchased in an incomplete state from Yeomans Motorcycles as a retirement project, since when it has been completely dismantled and rebuilt as a trail bike. The engine has been stripped, cleaned, examined and then rebuilt with new gaskets and seals. The cylinder was rebored by RayBox Engineering, who also supplied a new piston and bearings. New valve guides were fitted also. The carburettor has been rebuilt with a Monobloc repair kit.The frame was powder coated by Redditch Shot-Blasting and new swinging-arm bushes fitted and reamed. The front forks were badly worn, so a set of 'heavyweight' front forks and yokes were obtained, overhauled and fitted. New ball bearings were fitted to the steering head. Too lengthy to reproduce here, full details of the restoration are on file. All parts were sourced from reliable suppliers such as Kidderminster Motorcycles, Draganfly, Classic Bike Shop, Feked, Autocycle Engineering, and more.Currently SORN'd, the machine comes with a photocopy of the original buff logbook; an old MoT certificate; BSA owner's handbook, wiring diagrams; a V5C document; and a copy of The Motor Cycle road test.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page, for bidders' obligations.

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collectionc.1976 MV Agusta 750S AmericaRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. MV750*2210358*Engine no. 221-036•Rare and collectible Italian superbike•Purchased in Italy•Requires recommissioningDeveloped from its long line of highly successful multi-cylinder racers, MV Agusta's first road-going four - the 4C, a twin-carburettor, 600cc, shaft-driven tourer - appeared in 1965. But the public demanded something more exciting from many-times World Champions MV, and the Gallarate manufacturer duly obliged in 1968, upping capacity to 743cc and further boosting maximum power (to 65bhp) by fitting a quartet of Dell'Orto carburettors to the revised 750S, a high-speed symphony in red, white and blue. Perhaps surprisingly for a sports model, the 750S retained the 4C's shaft final drive while the frame too was virtually identical to that of its predecessor. Hand made in limited numbers and priced accordingly, the 750S was way beyond the financial reach of the average enthusiast. Although no lightweight - it weighed nearly as much as a Kawasaki Z1 - the 750S gave little away in outright performance terms to such larger machinery, thanks, no doubt, to its engine's Grand Prix heritage. Testing a 750S in 1975, Bike magazine found the motor very powerful. 'Surprisingly it also has great reserves of torque and pulls happily from four thousand. It's probably the most powerful 750cc motor made; in a straight drag with a Z1 it lost only a few yards up to 100mph.' In 1976 the 750S was replaced by the 750S America. Bored out to 789cc, the America produced a claimed 75bhp, an output sufficient to propel the Italian sportster to 100mph in around 13 seconds and on to a top speed of 135mph. Production of the 750S America ceased in February 1979. Bike rated the 750S as 'one of the most dramatic-looking bikes made, the real stuff of legend'. Few would disagree.This 750S America was purchased in Italy where it is believed to have been previously registered as 'UD 98399' – see 'as purchased' images on file. Notable features include Team Fox (Peter Fox Racing) stickers to front mudguard and tank; Scarab front disc brakes; Dell'Orto carburettors; Lafranconi exhausts; a chromed frame; and Sebac shock absorbers. The machine is believed to have been repainted, while the brightwork, rubbers and seat cover appear original. The only instrument present is a rev counter. Accompanying documentation consists solely of 'as purchased in Italy' photographs. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road. Furthermore, it should be noted that the DGM (product homologation) number is absent thus prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of the machine prior to bidding, which is sold strictly as viewed.Key present.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page, for bidders' obligations.

Offered from the estate of the late Derek Fox 1928 Norton 490cc Model 18Registration no. YV 5826Frame no. 32289Engine no. 39563Cylinder barrel no. 35539Gearbox no. CS99007LN•Matching numbers•Owned by Derek for over a decade•An older restorationLike the majority of their contemporaries, Norton relied on the sidevalve engine until the 1920s when the existing and well-tried 490cc unit was used as the basis for the firm's first overhead-valve design. Newly introduced for 1923, Norton's Model 18 OHV sports roadster quickly established a reputation for both speed and reliability when a standard engine assembled from parts was used to set a host of records, including a new 12 hours mark. The Model 18 retained its essentially Vintage characteristics until 1931 when the range was extensively redesigned, dry-sump lubrication and rear-mounted magneto being standardised, the most obvious external alteration in its appearance before then being the adoption of a 'saddle' tank for 1929. There were numerous improvements made to the engine throughout the 1930s, including enclosure of the valve gear, while Norton's own four-speed foot-change gearbox replaced the old Sturmey Archer in 1935. Production of an essentially unchanged 1939 model resumed after WW2.The Vintage Motor Cycle Club has kindly consulted their copy of the Norton dispatch records and confirmed they show that this 1928 Model 18 (frame number '32289', engine number '39563') was despatched on 16th April 1928 to Beach Motors, London N13 and purchased by G E Styles of Palmers Green, N13 on 8th May 1928. It should be noted that the records list the gearbox number as '90007'. Notable features include tool boxes, a BTH magneto and an Amal carburettor. 'YV 5826' was purchased from Mr Jim Scott of Midhurst, West Sussex, as evidenced by an undated purchase receipt on file. Last taxed to April 30th 2013, the Norton appears to be an older restoration and has clearly been used in some events. Nevertheless, the machine will require safety checks and recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road (the engine turns over). Additional documentation includes a 1935 purchase receipt; a 1975 Norton Triumph Europe dating letter; a 1936 tax disc; and some technical drawings. The HPI report lists the machine as 'previously registered overseas' and suggests it was re-registered in 1982.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page, for bidders' obligations.

Formerly the property of the late Carlo Ubbiali1956 MV Agusta 175 CSS Squalo Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. Q792 DBDFrame no. 408991/5VEngine no. 413133SS (see text)•Iconic Italian production racer•Present ownership since 2016•Used sparingly•'Best Race Bike' at the 'Festival of 1000 Bikes', Mallory Park In the mid-1950s many riders of MV Agusta's sporting 175 CS street bike went racing, giving a good account of themselves. Encouraged by the results, the factory decided to make a true production racer, dubbed the CSS Squalo ('Shark') for its lean, purposeful appearance. The rules forbade MV's double-overhead camshaft racing motor, so the Squalo was powered by a tuned version of the roadster's 175cc single-cam engine. Compression ratio was increased and a larger carburettor fitted, resulting in a useful increase in horsepower. Instead of the street bike's four-speed transmission, Squalo riders had five gears at their disposal. Adopting a lightweight racing-type frame helped shed around 30lb (13.6kg). Top speed increased to 150km/h (93mph). Future World Champions Mike Hailwood and Giacomo Agostini learned their race-craft on Squalos. The private vendor purchased this stunning MV Agusta CSS Squalo at a Berlin auction in September 2016, the previous owner being Mr Jan Cizek. The auction catalogue stated that the MV had formerly belonged to the late Carlo Ubbiali, the Italian motorcycle road-racer who dominated Grand Prix racing's smaller classes in the 1950s, winning six 125cc and three 250cc world titles. The MV had been sold to Mr Cizek by Roberto Vergottini, who had purchased it from Carlo Ubbiali in 1998 (see purchase contract on file). The machine currently has a non-original SS four-speed engine installed: the original would have been a 5V (five-speed) racing unit. However, this SS engine does have the correct left-side casing and magneto assembly of a 5V race engine. The fairing is glassfibre and correct for the era, and there are photographs on file of Ubbiali racing in 1957 with a glassfibre fairing identical to this machine's (his other bikes had a lower-nosed fairing made of aluminium). Our vendor has run the Squalo at a couple of events and it won the 'Best Race Bike' award at the 'Festival of 1000 Bikes' at Mallory Park where Ago presented a rosette and trophy (see photographs). The file of accompanying paperwork includes an instruction manual and a V5C documentFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page, for bidders' obligations.

NN82 / NN82Introduced for 1949, the Comet was part of the Vincent's strategy to offer a more affordable alternative to the higher-performance Rapide and Black Shadow models, while still maintaining the engineering excellence that Vincent was known for.The Comet was designed to be a more accessible option for everyday riders, particularly those who desired a powerful yet manageable bike for both city commuting and long-distance touring. Despite being less powerful than its bigger siblings, the Comet still delivered impressive performance, with a top speed of around 90 mph. Its robust construction, smooth-running engine, and innovative suspension system gave it superior handling compared to many other motorcycles of the era. By 1951, the Comet had established itself as a popular choice for both motorcycle enthusiasts and riders looking for a practical, reliable machine. Today, the 1951 Vincent Comet is a rare and highly valued classic, admired for its design and performance. LXY 510 was purchased in 2020, and has been unused since, kept on display in the vendor's private collection. It will, therefore, require re-commissioning and safety checks prior to returning to the road with a new owner, hence offered strictly as viewed. The engine turns over. Noteworthy features are the stainless steel wheel rims and spokes, together with the MIC carburettor. The engine is originally from a 1954 series C Comet and the Upper and Rear Frame Members are from Series C-Comet that was despatched to a dealer called Humphreys in London on 13/04/1951. Documentation consists solely of a current V5C.

1959 Triumph 500cc Tiger 100Registration no. RFY 399Frame no. 028483Engine no. T100 028483The sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin 500, the Tiger 100 was launched in 1938, reappearing in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war version's magdyno. An alloy cylinder head and barrel were adopted for 1951, these and other engine improvements boosting power to 32bhp, while a swinging-arm frame and 8'-diameter front brake were fitted from 1954 onwards. By the decade's end a splayed-port 'head with twin carburettors had become standard equipment, and this would represent the ultimate development of the Tiger 100, which in the autumn of 1959 was replaced by the new, unitary construction Tiger 100A. One of the last of its kind manufactured, this 'pre-unit' Tiger 100 has belonged to the current vendor since 2013. The vendor advises us that the machine underwent a complete overhaul in 2015/2016, which included a new carburettor, a new exhaust, and a refurbished speedometer. A new BTH electronic magneto was fitted in 2023. In running order when completed, the Tiger has been dry stored since then and will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with a current V5C Registration Certificate; invoice and warranty paperwork for the aforementioned BTH magneto; and a detached steering lock with two keys.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page, for bidders' obligations.

('HRD' stood for Howard Raymond Davies, the Isle of Man TT winner who had founded the firm in 1924). Vincent moved production from Wolverhampton to Stevenage and set about putting his motorcycle design ideas into practice, commencing with an innovative sprung frame that would remain a feature of Vincent motorcycles until production ceased in 1955.This Comet was purchased by the current vendor over 12 years ago, with the previous vendor having owned it for 37 years. Since being purchased by the vendor, we're advised that they have carried out much work including fitting new stainless steel rims and spokes together with Black Shadow drums, fitted new touring handlebars, recovered original seat, refurbished the magneto, DV2R regulator and battery, converted to 12v, refurbished the original carburettor, fitted a new silencer and fitted a Hills centre stand (the full list is within the history file). The upper frame member and engine were originally dispatched to a dealer called Glanfield Lawrence in Bristol whilst the rear frame member was manufactured in 1952 and was for a Series C Comet.

Offered from the estate of the late Derek Fox 1929 Norton 348cc Model JERegistration no. OS 2764Frame no. 35466Engine no. JE 1137 (matching barrel number)•Rare Vintage-era overhead-valve sports roadster•An older restoration•Present ownership since 2022•Requires recommissioningA new introduction for 1929, the 348cc JE was the 'junior' version of Norton's ES2 sports roadster. Introduced at the 1927 Motor Cycle Show, the ES2 used the Model 18's 490cc overhead-valve engine in the cradle frame of the overhead-camshaft CS1, and from then onwards the 'ES2' designation was always applied to Norton's top-of-the-range overhead-valve sports single. The ES2 was built in several versions during a production run lasting until 1963; the JE, though, did not last anything like as long, disappearing from the range at the end of the 1931 season. Norton did not list an OHV '350' again until 1933, and when it did the designation had changed to 'Model 50'. In production for just a few years, the JE is one of the rarest of Norton's pre-war production roadsters. The Vintage Motor Cycle Club has reviewed their copy of the Norton factory records and kindly confirmed that this 1929 model JE (frame number '35466', engine number 'JE 1137') was despatched to Auto Engineering Swansea on 18th April 1929 and purchased on 14th September that year by one J Pattie of Swansea. An older restoration, the machine was purchased by the vendor in 2022 with Derek Fox's help. Notable features include the following:•Amal 1BE carburettor•Lucas magneto•Sturmey Archer gearbox numbered '1.46.2.66' to inner shell•Druid steering damper•Tool boxes•Dynamo electrics•'Piecrust' tanksIt should be noted that the tank rubbers are missing and that the tail lamp wiring has been disconnected.

The Barry Winter Collectionc.1955 BSA 604cc Gold Star Replica Registration no. 107 YUKFrame no. CB31.13169Engine no. DB34.GS.1667The BSA Owners' Club Dating Certificate confirms that frame 'CB31.13169' was originally part of a B33 dispatched to Millars Motors in Mitcham, Surrey, 9/7/1955. It was later returned and sent to Taylor Matterson in Balham later that month. Although the despatch book entry for the Gold Star engine number 'DB34.GS.1667' is blank, it is estimated to date from around 1956. The UK registration date, with an 'age related number,' is recorded as 1st April 2012 (see DVLA Authorisation on file).In June 2002, Gold Star specialist Phil Pearson built the 604cc engine, using parts such as a Jawa speedway con-rod, an INA needle roller big-end bearing, a new cylinder head with DBD valves, and a new 1½' Amal GP3 carburettor (supplied later). In December 2003, Pearson created a new 8' twin-leading-shoe front brake and, in October 2004, converted a four-speed gearbox to five-speed using Nova gears. Initially, both the engine and gearbox were fitted into a different frame. A Bob Newby clutch and belt drive have also been added.From 2002 to 2011, the engine saw use in Manx GP rallies, Isle of Man TT track parades, and track days at Mallory Park and Castle Combe, with minimal road use. In 2011/2012, the engine and gearbox were mounted in a new frame (see rebuild costs on file), receiving new alloy wheels, stainless spokes, a racing seat, and a 12V regulator. A new 12V battery was installed in February 2025.This Gold Star special was tested by Steve Wilson for The Classic MotorCycle's August 2018 edition. It has been in storage since then, requiring recommissioning before returning to the road. The machine is offered with a BSA Instruction Book, V5C document, and a file of receipts.

F5AB/2A/5233 Crankcase mating no's. 12P / 12PAfter the war, Vincent used the same 'frameless' cycle parts for the single and the twin. On the singles the rear cylinder was replaced by a cast alloy beam, and the gearbox employed was the familiar Burman item. Announced in late 1948, a few single cylinder Meteors were produced before being joined soon after by the Comet in Series C form with Girdraulic forks, as opposed to the Brampton girders on the Meteor. The Comet was a little more expensive than the Meteor, and equipped with a higher compression ratio, front propstands, and Girdraulic forks. MTE 807 was purchased in 2020, and has been unused since, kept on display in the vendor's private collection. It will, therefore, require re-commissioning and safety checks prior to returning to the road with a new owner, hence offered strictly as seen. Noteworthy features are the timing chest breather, Alton generator, BTH magneto, Conways clutch conversion and the Mikuni carburettor. The engine turns over. The document file includes a current V5C, an old VE60 continuation buff log book, a quantity of expired MoT certificates, quantity of invoices, a VOC Certificate of Authenticity confirming that it has matching engine and frame numbers, together with a copy of the Works order Form, Road Test Report, and the Despatch Check Sheet, showing that it was despatched to Whittakers in Blackpool. Also present are instructions for the Alton generator, BTH magneto instructions, and details of the Conways Honda (PR50-C) clutch. The Vincent Owners Club advise: The engine and frame numbers belong to a Series-C Comet sent to Whittakers in Blackpool on 01/11/1950, with registration MTE 807.
