Registration – MAR 852VChassis No. – 93A0141136M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 99,500Porsche decided that it needed a more powerful version of the 924 to fill the gap between its entry model and the 911. The Porsche 924 Turbo was released in 1978 with a Series 2 model following along within a couple of years. ‘MAR 852V’ represents an example of the desirable original model having been through the hands of five previous keepers. The current vendor, a Porsche enthusiast with a private collection, acquired ‘MAR 852V’ in January 2021 and, according to MOT records, only around 1,500 miles have been covered since 1995. ‘MAR 852V’ was reportedly mechanically restored by the previous owner and has enjoyed a service at Cotswold Porsche just 200 miles ago. ‘MAR 852V’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle based on age and so is MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax. ‘MAR 852V’ comes with a generous archive of paperwork, service booklet and two keys.Important Note on Vehicle History:As part of our due diligence process, we carried out a series of checks on the vehicle registered as “MAR 852V.” Initial reports from MotorCheck (dated 16th April 2025) and MyCarCheck (dated 29th April 2025). However, further checks have since solidified the HPI status as clear. Two independent HPI reports, one from Solera HPi (dated 29th April 2025) and another by Peter Trotman Specialist Cars (dated 30th April 2025), confirmed no insurance category was present. Additionally, direct confirmation from the DVLA verified that no insurance marker is currently recorded against the vehicle. These documents are available on request.As always, we encourage all prospective buyers to carry out their own checks and ensure they are fully satisfied with the vehicle’s history. ‘MAR 852V’ exhibits a charming 1980’s aesthetic presenting in Mocha Brown paintwork, featuring the signature pop up headlamps separated by the Turbo specific cooling NACA duct. Other key external highlights include a bonnet mounted duct, tilting and removeable roof panel and impressive Fuchs alloy wheels with black centres and polished alloy rims. The sporty cabin exhibits the desirable leather trim in a Mocha shade. The familiar, high backed “tombstone” seats look very well presented and even the original rolling luggage cover and Porsche tool kit are present and correct. Even the original fit head unit is still present. Much recent work has been expended in here, too, to include a replacement dashboard with no UV induced cracks or deterioration (rare for a 924!), retrimmed seats throughout, upgraded door cards and a new carpet set. The vendor rates the bodywork and paintwork as “good,” and the interior as “excellent.”The Audi derived 2-litre engine of the 924 was heavily revised for the Turbo, of course, and would originally produce around 168bhp in Series I form. ‘MAR 852V’ has undergone an exhaustive schedule of mechanical works courtesy of the previous owner which is too extensive to do full justice to here. In brief terms this extends to a gearbox rebuild, a new clutch, a turbo rebuild, new rear main seal, master brake cylinder, steering column, bearing and tracked ends, new front shock absorbers and much more (the extensive paperwork file reveals the full extent of works). Other 924 specific works include fitment of a refurbished warm-up regulator, injectors and fuel distributor. The vendor rates the engine and electrics as “good” and the transmission as “excellent.”In summary:A great looking 924 Turbo in archetypical 1980’s brown over brown liveryComplete with Fuchs alloys and full leather interiorOffered complete with a detailed and informative paperwork archive
Registration – ML54 BZMChassis No. – WF05XXGBB54K16084M.O.T. – April 2026Odometer – 117,000‘ML54BZM’ represents a cherished example of the well respected Mondeo ST220. The ST220 arrived in 2002 as the most powerful model of the MKIII Mondeo. ‘ML54BZM’ has been relished by just five keepers to date with the vendor having proudly owned it for over 5 ½ years. ‘ML54BZM’ has been fastidiously maintained by the current keeper with much valuable and futureproofing work recently undertaken. As such ‘ML54BZM’ comes with an advisory free MOT until April 2026 and a partly documented service history. ‘ML54BZM’ is an increasingly rarely seen example of this high performance Ford saloon and is offered here with NO RESERVE.It is no coincidence that the vendor describes ‘ML54BZM’ as running really well and a great drive. Firstly, of course, there is that 3-litre, V6 Duratec engine originally rated at a healthy 226 bhp. In the post ’03 cars like this one, this is mated to the six speed Getrag MMT gearbox from the MKIII Focus ST/RS. This set up originally endowed the ST220 with a 150mph top speed and a 0-60mph time in the early sevens. What’s more, however, ‘ML54BZM’ has enjoyed plenty in the way of care and attention with its current keeper. This includes a new clutch and dual mass flywheel, and new discs and pads all round. Despite them not being required a new subframe, suspension arms and bushes have also been fitted. The engine, transmission and electrics are all rated as “good.”‘ML54BZM’ presents in popular and stealthy looking black livery complete with its original 16 spoke, 18-inch ST alloy wheels. The cabin features the supremely comfortable Recaro front seats with all upholstery being courtesy of black leather. Despite the ST’s impressive performance credentials it, of course, boasts all the practicality and usability of any Mondeo saloon.In summary:A seemingly cherished example of the Mondeo ST220 performance modelPresenting in an admirable, original looking specificationLots recently spent and with a long, advisory free MOT
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 – FNB 438CChassis No. – 026386M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 67,045KM (41,659M)The Pininfarina designed Fiat 1500 Cabriolet is a very rare sight on UK roads. ‘FNB438C’ is a remarkable survivor and offers a superb provenance to boot. The first three keepers accounted for the first 58 years of this diminutive coupe’s life. The first owner has it imported directly from Fiat in Italy in 1965 making it UK registered from new. The first keeper kept ‘FNB438C’ until 2003, remarkably. The current vendor is listed as the fifth to date. ‘FNB438C’ is reported as having been sparing used throughout its life making its currently recorded 67,045kms an entirely feasible original reading. ‘FNB438C’ was fully resprayed in 2014 and underwent a full recommissioning in 2021 with both the aesthetics and mechanicals refreshed. Today ‘FNB438C’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle and so is zero rated for road tax and MOT exempt. This little Fiat last passed an MOT in June 2023, however.The Fiat 1500 Cabriolet was introduced when the original 1200 version was deemed too pedestrian to be considered a sports car in the Italian tradition. The 1500cc, four cylinder, alloy headed unit was inherited from the 1500 saloon and delivered around 80 bhp. A four speed manual gearbox is fitted. During its 2021 recommissioning a replacement brake master cylinder was fitted, together with a radiator top hose. A full service was undertaken, and the underside was treated with rust inhibitor. A brand new set of Michelin tyres have also recently been fitted. The vendor rates the mechanical aspects of ‘FNB438C’ as “excellent.”With a professional respray in 2014 the white livery looks crisp and clean. There is a moderate amount of chrome finished brightwork in evidence to include the bumpers, matrix grill, headlamp surrounds and make and model badges. The steel wheels are dressed in chromed, dome shaped Fiat hubcaps and the red fabric hood contrasts elegantly with this livery. The big rear window appears clear an uncracked. The sports orientated cabin is finished in various hues of red with the seats being more of an oxblood whilst the door cards and carpets are nearer a scarlet shade. The dashboard is an architype of 1960’s Italian charm, style and sophistication. The vendor rates the paintwork, bodywork and interior as “good.”In summary:A rare and stylish Fiat cabriolet with an excellent provenanceSubject to a 2014 respray and a 2021 recommissioningReported to be an excellent runner with everything working as it should (except the radio)
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 – OCZ 996Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ99ZXS640901M.O.T. – September 2025Odometer – 79,097The 996 model represents the fifth generation of Porsche’s iconic 911 sports car. ‘OCZ 996’ is a highly desirable exemplar of the breed ticking all the aficionado’s boxes along the way. ‘OCZ 996’ is blessed with the purists’ choice of six-speed Getrag manual gearbox. In this Carrera 4 full time four wheel drive configuration, ‘OCZ 996’ can better deploy its 296 bhp in a full range of road conditions. With a sensible 79,097 miles to date, ‘OCZ 996’ is offered with much recent work undertaken ensuring that it is ready to enjoy immediately. ‘OCZ 996’ includes a body coloured hard top and the model specific private registration number (previously valued at £1500) will also comprise part of the sale. The current MOT is valid until September 2025.The 996 iteration of the 911 is notable for being the first water-cooled version. The Carrera 4 is fitted with the 3.4-litre, flat six “boxer” engine which was originally rated at a shade under 300bhp. Power is transferred to all four wheels in this example via a Getrag six speed manual transmission. This combination was sufficient for a 170 mph top speed and a 0-60 mph time is around 5.5 seconds. In the current ownership ‘OCZ 996’ has been diligently cared for. Work has included the fitting of new front tyres, new nearside window regulator and a full specialist service at 78,886 miles undertaken by Ninemeister. New discs, callipers and pads were fitted at 73,248 miles and the callipers were refinished in yellow at that time. At 78,969 miles the rear suspension arms were replaced and a reconditioned steering rack fitted by Revolution Porsche specialists. A four wheel alignment was also undertaken at this time. The vendor rates the mechanical aspects of ‘OCZ 996’ as “good.”‘OCZ 996’ presents in the great looking Zenith Blue hue with a matching and desirable hard top, five spoke Porsche alloy wheels and the 996’s distinctive “fried egg” headlamps. The sports orientated cabin is finished in black leather and exhibits the usual and iconic VDO Porsche instruments with the big tachometer taking centre stage in the binnacle. Bodywork, paintwork and interior are rated as “average.”In summary:Highly desirable six speed manual Carrera 4 Cabriolet configurationComplete with hardtop and model specific registration numberSubject to a god deal of recent professional care and attention
Registration – F703 CJKChassis No. – SAJJNADW3DA155596M.O.T. – ExpiredOdometer – 98,691Offered at No Reserve, this 1989 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible is part of one man’s extensive collection. Finished in white with a cream leather interior, this Series II Convertible has the 5.3-litre V12 engine, paired with an automatic gearbox. The vendor says it was fully restored in 2006, at a cost of £8,600, which included a full respray and extensive Waxoyl protection. It was then recommissioned once again in 2018, at a cost of over £4,000. The vendor says that ‘F703XJK’, which was registered in January 1989, comes with a partial service history. Its MOT expired in August 2021.‘F703CJK’ is described as being in ‘average’ condition overall, and comes with the V5. It has the rare twin rear seat conversion, which reportedly cost around £2,000, boosting the practicality of this open-top Jaguar XJ-S.The Jaguar XJ-S was introduced in 1975 as a modern, avant-garde replacement for the iconic Jaguar E-type. It was based on the groundbreaking Jaguar XJ saloon, and offered in coupe, targa and convertible bodystyles. There were three iterations, the second-generation model launched as the HE in 1981, with a ‘high efficiency’ V12. The Jaguar XJ6 straight-six engine was added in 1983. These thoroughly enhanced models ran until 1991, when the third iteration evolved things again – it was known simply as XJS.In summary:1989 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible offered at No ReservePart of one man’s extensive classic car collectionRestored in 2006 and recommissioned again in 2018
Registration – SB07 YKUChassis No. – WUAZZZ8E57N907067M.O.T. – February 2026Odometer – 83,500Audi threw everything at the second generation RS4 Quattro. It was built on the B7 platform and featured the howling, 32 valve 4.2 litre as originally used in the R8. ‘SB07 YKU’ is a great looking example of this performance car giant in uber-practical Avant specification. Originally delivering a mighty 414 bhp at a sonorous 7,800 rpm, ‘SB07 YKU’ delivers its prodigious power via a six speed manual gearbox and Audi’s benchmark setting full time four wheel drive Quattro system. ‘SB07 YKU’ arrives from its fifth owner who acquired it around a year and a half ago. Today ‘SB07 YKU’ has covered around 83,500 miles – well below average for its age. ‘SB07 YKU’ is reported to be complete with a massive history file, a part service history from either dealers or renowned specialist (full with the exception of two years), and a valid MOT until February 2026. Offered here with NO RESERVE, ‘SB07 YKU’ will likely represent huge value for money for a family wagon with true supercar performance credentials.The bodywork is finished in Audi’s Phantom Black and ‘SB07 YKU’ sits purposefully on the original 9J x 19-inch, seven arm double spoke alloy wheels which fill the arches appropriately fully. Xenon headlamps are also fitted. The sublime cabin is finished in Nappa leather in a black hue and is complete with the “wing-backed” heated front seats which were originally a £3,000 option. Other refinements include a carbon inlay kit, factory sunroof and a Pioneer head unit with hands free, ApplePlay and Android compatibility. The vendor rates the bodywork and paintwork as “good” and the interior as “excellent.”That high revving 4.2-litre V8 engine remains the star of the show, however. Its 400 bhp plus output delivered a sub five second 0-60 mph time and a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph all accompanied by a stunning soundtrack. That soundtrack is only further enhanced by ‘SB07 YKU’s’ Milltek exhaust system. The RS4’s mechanical systems are all rated as “excellent” no doubt aided by a great maintenance history. This recently includes a Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) service in 2023 costing £1,000, and a carbon clean at 76,000 miles.In summary:· Nicely presented example of this range topping Audi A4 Avant· Featuring the astounding 4.2-litre V8 powerhouse with an 8,000 rpm redline· Benefitting from plenty of recent mechanical care and attention
Registration – LNV 676LChassis No. – 2B1194BWM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 59,765‘LNV676L’ is a very rare iteration of Sir William Lyons’ swansong – the XJ saloon. Being a Series I range topping V12 Vanden Plas model this car is one of just 351 originally built making it the rarest model from this first series of luxury saloons. ‘LNV676L’ is described as a non-running barn find and so offers an enticing opportunity to bring this rarest of models up to its former glory. With just six former keepers, the vendor acquired this survivor car around 4 years ago and it has been stored ever since. The Smiths odometer reads a shade under 60,000 miles which isn’t warranted but seems believable. ‘LNV676L’ is revealed as a long wheelbase version – 4 inches longer – by its chassis number which also confirms it as the 193rd of 351 made. Back in 1973 this car would have provided a viable alternative to a Rolls-Royce, Bentley or top of the range Mercedes-Benz. This car comes from the large private collection of an individual enthusiast and is offered here with NO RESERVE.The Daimler Double Six Vanden Plas Series I was only built for one year between September 1972 and September 1973, hence making it a very low volume and rarely seen model. This barn find example exhibits all the Series I cues including the deep, forward raked grill, vinyl roof and the special gunmetal finished, pressed steel wheels with Daimler chrome hubcaps. Even the original twin driving lights above the front bumper are still present. As a true Rolls-Royce alternative, the Vandan Plas was awash with rare refinements for 1973. This includes seating faced with leather to a special Vanden Plas design. Air-conditioning, a radio/stereo tape or 8 track (as included here) player with electric aerial and 4 speakers, remote-controlled driver’s door mirror, electric windows, heated rear window, reading lamps for rear passengers and red warning lights fitted to all doors were all standard and remain present here. ‘LNV676L’s’ paintwork, bodywork and interior are all described as “average.”The Series I Double Six, a Daimler model name last used in the mid 1920’s, provided the first saloon outing for the esteemed 5.3-litre V12 engine. It also made it the first mass production V12 saloon and simultaneously the "fastest full four-seater available in the world." In this early application the V12 was fitted with four carburettors and originally produced a bountiful 309bhp. This is mated to a Type 12 Borg Warner three speed automatic gearbox. ‘LNV676L’ is classed as a non-runner with the engine and electrics classed as “poor” and the transmission as “average.”In summary:A barn find example of the very rare Series I Daimler Double Six Vanden PlasPresents in a highly original and seemingly complete conditionOffering great potential for improvement and restoration
Registration – YF54 MVEChassis No. – WDB2304792F092290M.O.T. – July 2025Odometer – 118,000‘YF54 MVE’ represent the rarest model the R230 SL range with just 3,055 of this V12, twin-turbo powered range topper produced and less than 100 making it to the UK. With an original sticker price of over £140,000 and originally quoted as having over 600bhp and 700 Ib-ft of torque, ‘YF54 MVE’ is a Mercedes-Benz purist’s dream. ‘YF54 MVE’ has been in the current ownership for around six years during which time it has been fastidiously maintained by its keeper. During this ownership the oil has been changed at 3,000 mile intervals and a full engine overhaul has been performed around two thousand miles ago. A huge list of other work has been undertaken and improvements made. ‘YF54 MVE’ is offered with a documented service history, a current advisory free MOT until July 2025 and is offered here with NO RESERVE. A vanishingly rare opportunity to secure a very scarce V12, twin turbo supercar beater.Despite the R230 range already featuring two flavours of 500 bhp models – the SL55 AMG and the SL600 – AMG wanted more. The SL65 AMG arrived in 2004 featuring the 6-litre, hand built version of the M275 twin-turbo V12 unit and 738 Ib-ft which was a then record for a production car. Car and Driver achieved a 3.6 second 0-60mph time and needed just 7.5 second to reach 100mph. With the electronic limiter disabled the SL65 was reportedly good for 216 mph. The current keeper has provided a huge list of work undertaken in his ownership and this will be included with the car. A few of the highlights, however, include including full engine gasket replacements, turbo upgrades, suspension refresh, gearbox refresh, diff rebuild, new serpentine belt, three idlers and tensioner, new starter motor, main and auxiliary radiators and associated pipework. The rear subframe has been removed, the surface corrosion removed and repainted with POR-15 rust inhibiter, suspension components cleaned, and many new bushes fitted. There is much, much more detailed by the current owner. Some valuable parts are also included, not least a full, brand new set of Brembo front brake discs and pads. The mechanical facets of ‘YF54 MVE’ are vendor rated as “excellent.”Finished in Obsidian Black ‘YF54 MVE’ presents as a surprisingly stealthy twin turbo V12, in many ways. All the much admired elements of the R230 are noted here including the origami-esque folding metal roof and the AMG specific quad oval tailpipes. ‘YF54 MVE’ sporting and highly luxurious cabin is swathed in supple red leather and accents of grey Alcantara and features just about every refinement available in 2004. The vendor rates the paintwork, bodywork and interior as “good.”In summary:One of less than 100 range topping R230s to make it to the UKSuperbly maintained by the current keeper, regardless of costComplete with some desirable and valuable spare parts
Registration – OE12 YHUChassis No. – SBM11AAC3CW000230M.O.T. – February 2026Odometer – 15,979The “McLaren Project Four” or MP4 12C was launched in 2011 but became known as the “12C” from April 2012. ‘OE12YHU’ is a 2012 example of this stunning 200mph plus British supercar with an innovative carbon fibre construction. With just 15,000 warranted miles covered to date together with a full McLaren service history, it is hard to imagine a more desirable example. With just four owners to date and a host of desirable options, including an interior carbon fibre upgrade, ‘OE12YHU’ is complete with a long, advisory free MOT until February 2026. What’s more, ‘OE12YHU’ has never attracted an MOT advisory, further underscoring its optimum mechanical condition. With just 3,400 12C’s ever built and a heritage and history like McLaren behind it, the 12C is an investment that satisfies both head and heart.The McLaren 12C is built around an innovative carbon fibre “MonoCell” which weighs just 75kgs and was deemed so beneficial that McLaren invested £127 million in its development. This is paired with a carbon fibre composite chassis and a 3,798cc V8 rear mounted engine producing a mighty 592 bhp at 7,000 rpm. A sublime specification. ‘OE12YHU’ presents in the desirable and optional Elite exterior colour of Supernova Silver and is notable for it's big, air gulping front grill and impressively wide side “gills.” ‘OE12YHU’ squats on the optional, 12% lighter, Light Forged alloy wheels in a 19-inch configuration at the front and 20-inch at the rear. The 12C’s cabin is surprisingly spacious for a supercar, a feat achieved by situating the seats as close to the centre of the car as possible. The cabin exhibits other high cost options including the full leather two tone upholstery in Carbon Black and Saddle Tan. This is accompanied by the Carbon Fibre interior upgrade to switch packs, steering wheel spokes and centre console.The M838T 3.8-litre V8 twin turbocharged, rear mounted engine is a true powerhouse in both literal and metaphorical terms. That mighty power output is accompanied by 443 Ib-ft of torque which is transmitted to the rear wheels via the seven-speed + R Seamless Shift Gearbox (SSG). The dynamics of this supercar are further enhanced by ProActive Chassis Control (PCC) with hydraulic roll control and adaptive damping. Both the highly specified transmission and suspension can be deployed in three distinct modes – Normal, Sport and Track. An open differential further aids the deployment of the huge power and torque.In summary:· A 200mph plus McLaren supercar with just 15,000 warranted miles to date.· A full and diligent McLaren service history.· Complete with a number of expensive and desirable options both inside and out.

The desirable 3.2-litre V8 produces 363bhp and is paired here with a four-speed automatic gearbox. The vendor says the car was running perfectly until three years ago when the head gasket failed. “Since then, it has been parked up. The car is currently a non-runner, but has all the parts needed for it to run again.”‘X661 EGP’ is finished in a desirable combination of blue metallic with tan leather interior. The odometer reads 87,000 miles, backed up by an HPI report, and this Maserati comes with all its owner’s manuals, three keys, and an array of invoices and receipts as part of its history file. Registered in July 2000, this Maserati 3200 GT has had just five owners, half the number that’s usual for a car of this age.The Maserati 3200 GT was launched to great acclaim in 1998 to replace the ageing Shamal. Penned by Italdesign, company founder Giorgetto Giugiaro presented it to the world with former Maserati racer Sir Stirling Moss in September 1998. It used the Maserati Quattroporte’s 3.2-litre 32-valve V8 and offered either manual or automatic transmissions. It was replaced in 2002 by the Maserati Coupe, which was an evolution powered by a Ferrari-derived 4.2-litre V8 – and which sadly lost those iconic rear lights.In summary:2000 Maserati 3200 GT offered at No ReserveJust five owners in 25 yearsNon-runner but comes with all parts needed for it to run again
Registration – E6 CRTChassis No. – WF0BXXGCABJR74703M.O.T. – July 2025Odometer – 83,020This fabulous 1988 Escort RS Turbo is being offered at No Reserve. Owned by the vendor since April 2014, the car comes with an extensive history – which even includes the original bill of sale. The odometer reads around 83,000 miles and MOT records dating all the way back to 2006 support this. The vendor confirms the desirable ‘E5CRT’ private plate comes with this No Reserve car too. ‘E5CRT’ had a full rebuild of the 1.6-litre turbo engine in 2023, with tuning by JamSport. With a reconditioned transmission too, both engine and gearbox are described as being in ‘excellent’ condition. The interior, complete with the RS Turbo’s desirable Recaro seats, is ‘good’ as well. The MOT history reflects the period in which this extensive work was carried out – and, while in the workshop, the vendor says the technician reported the shell to be “solid”, adding that it has been Waxoyled underneath. ‘E5CRT’ also has contemporary larger Ford alloys fitted, with the work being done professionally at a cost of £1,000.The Ford Escort RS Turbo was first seen in Series One guise. A development of the Mk3 Escort, it went on sale in early 1985 as a high-performance halo car. Originally, Ford intended to build 5,000 cars, to meet Group A homologation requirements. However, customer demand saw more than 8,600 built, almost all in Diamond White. Its popularity meant a Mk4 Ford Escort RS Turbo, called Series Two, was quickly introduced in 1986. This was a more well-rounded machine, with diligent development by Ford’s crack SVE engineers resolving criticisms of the original. It was now available in a broader range of colours, including iconic 1980s red, gaining a reputation as a more subtle but also more able Ford Escort performance car.

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. 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. All mechanical facets of ‘GVF535’ are rated as “average.” What a remarkable and rare shooting break and an enticing ownership opportunity.In summary:One of just a handful of TA14’s thought to be bodied by BarnardJust five owners to date despite this car’s 78 year ageExhibiting the very popular “Woody” aesthetic
Registration – MHW 895Chassis No. – 621860M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 24,358‘MHW895’ is a striking example of the post-war MKV Jaguar in optimal 3.5-litre saloon form. In its current crisp white livery and curvaceously winged body, ‘MHW895’ exhibits a charming, almost ethereal, persona. This MKV is a home market specified and supplied right hand drive model hailing from 1949. Just under 6,000 in this specification were originally made with the Jaguar Drivers’ Club knowing of just 81 remaining as far back as 1988. That number will have likely significantly decreased by now. With just 4 registered former keepers to date, ‘MHW895’ was acquired by the vendor in August 2021. Currently the MKV records 21,500 miles covered which, whilst can’t be warranted, is thought to be realistic. With an MOT exemption and zero rating for road tax based on its age, ‘MHW895’ comes from the large collection of an individual enthusiast, is offered with some insightful supporting paperwork and is realistically guided for such a rare example.Although the MKV was an interim model produced for just three years whilst an all new model was developed, Jaguar did not skimp on its specifications. The MKV became the first Jaguar with independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes and designed to be produced in both left and right hand drive. It was also the first to wear rear spats, which ‘MHW895’ showcases so well. Originally finished in grey, ‘MHW895’ today wears a bright white livery that works very well with the running boards, heavily contoured wings, tall chrome radiator shroud and big, faired in headlamps. The saloon style body provides room for five adults and is trimmed in a rarely seen off white leather lending ‘MHW895’ a distinctive, angelic demeanour.‘MHW895’s’ 3.5-litre pushrod engine based on a Standard design rendered it as the top of the MKV range and producing around a quoted 120bhp which was good for in excess of 90mph back in its day. A four speed manual gearbox also features. Much money has clearly been spent to result in the condition you see here today. Accompanying paperwork, for example, documents over £14,000 having been spent since 2017 with over £9,000 of that expended on body and chassis repairs in 2017. The remainder of the spend relates to items both mechanical and aesthetic in nature.In summary:A very rare, striking looking example of the MKV JaguarA reportedly low owner, low mileage example with much spent in recent yearsPresenting in a charming “white over white” livery which is highly desirable
Registration – NWT 670AChassis No. – 11102110051585M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 46,000‘NWT670A’ is a striking example of a 1966 Mercedes-Benz W111, two door coupe with the distinctive Paul Bracq, “Heckflosse,” or “fin tail” design. ‘NWT670A’ was imported to the UK in 2021 and has been part of a private collection ever since. Seemingly coming from a benign climate, ‘NWT670A’ is reported to be corrosion free throughout. Much has been spent on this elegant Mercedes coupe in the current ownership including an impressive interior retrim as well as mechanical maintenance. ‘NWT670A’ is an Historic Vehicle based on its age and so MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax. Despite its exemption it was MOT’d in April 2024, passing with just two basic advisories. As such ‘NWT670A’ represents a very rare example of this exclusive model.The coupe version of the W111 appeared in 1960 and was marked out from the saloons of the W111 range by having a more luxurious and lavishly equipped interior, and exterior styling which was a squarer, more modern looking version of the saloon. Even the signature fins were reduced in prominence. ‘NWT670A’ exhibits these traits and more, presenting in a crisp white livery. The instantly recognisable Mercedes-Benz grill is present in large and dominant form nestling between double chrome bumpers and the equally familiar, vertically stacked quad headlamps. The subtle, Paul Bracq rear window treatment is especially distinctive, and the coupe sits on a set of “Mexican Hat” alloy wheels. The luxurious and surprisingly spacious interior was retrimmed two years ago helping to set ‘NWT670A’ still further apart from other examples. The bodywork, paintwork and interior are all rated as “good.”The W111’s refined persona was further enhanced by the fitting of a range of smooth and powerful straight six engines. ‘NWT670A’ features the 2.2-litre M127 engine which provides a nice blend of refinement, performance and relative economy. In this application the engine features Bosch multipoint fuel injection and the power output was originally rated at approximately 120bhp. In ‘NWT670A’ this is mated to a four speed manual gearbox. Much has been spent on maintenance in current ownership resulting in all mechanical facets of ‘NWT670A’ being rated as “good.”In summary:· A rarely seen two door coupe model of the revered Mercedes W111· Presenting in an excellent condition throughout and reportedly rust free· Recently retrimmed and diligently maintained for immediate use
Registration – FXC 984GChassis No. – G1D56730BWM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 84,301‘FXC984G’ is a rarely seen example of the Jaguar 420G dating from 1969, the penultimate year of production. Not to be confused with the smaller 420, the “G” was basically a MK X Jaguar rebadged for marketing purposes in 1966. ‘FXC984G’ comes from a four year period of ownership with the previous owner being a collector who owned and stored the 420G for around 6 years prior to that. Today ‘FXC984G’ records a mileage of around 84,000 but this can’t be warranted. ‘FXC984G’ is classed as an Historic Vehicle based on age and, as such, MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax. Due to a lack of recent use ‘FXC984G’ may well need recommissioning for the road and is offered here with NO RESERVE.The 420G is an impressive looking car and based almost entirely on the MK X. The MK X was introduced with American sales in mind and so the car was unusually big for the period. ‘FXC984G’ showcases that impressive road presence and is finished in black lending it the persona of a 1969 unmarked police car……or even getaway car. The forward sloping nose and big grill bring some chromed brightwork to proceedings with the generous bumpers also being chrome finished. The steel wheels are disguised by hubcaps and accompanying beauty rings. ‘FXC984G’s’ interior is finished in grey leather and, unsurprisingly, offers generous accommodation for the period. The usual Jaguar cues of ample wood veneer, comprehensive instrumentation and switchgear and big luxurious seats are all here. The vendor rates the paintwork, bodywork and interior as “below average.”The 420G came only with the 4.2 litre straight six XK engine as the name suggested. That’s exactly what powers ‘FXC984G’ which, in this case, is paired with a three speed automatic gearbox. The MK X inherited many of the innovations found in the E-Type that was launched a year earlier, lending it an impressively advanced mechanical specification for the period. This was inherited by the 420G and included disk brakes all round and independent rear suspension. All aspects of ‘FXC984G’ as rated as ‘below average.’In summary:A rarely seen Jaguar saloon from the company’s heydayFeaturing the well regarded 4.2-litre version of the XK straight sixMOT exempt and zero rated for road tax

Today ‘S300DBY’ is offered with a valid, advisory free MOT until May 2025, and its marque specific registration number.‘S300DBY’ is powered by the legendary 2.0-litre twinscroll turbocharged version of the legendary EJ20 boxer engine. This is mated to a six speed close ratio gearbox which in original form endowed the WRX with a mid-five second 0-60 mph time and a 150 mph plus top speed. ‘S300DBY’ is also equipped with the sought after DCCD 2.0 system which stands for Driver Controlled Centre Differential. This allows the driver to manually adjust the torque split between the front and back wheels. ‘S300DBY’ is notable for having remained in factory JDM specification with no mapping or other modifications undertaken. The owner rates this Impreza’s mechanical systems as “excellent.”‘S300DBY’ presents in the perennially popular WR Blue livery and showcases what, to many eyes, are the improved looks of the “Hawkeye” version of WRX. All the WRX and STi signatures cues are present, including the oversized rear wing, bonnet scoop and impressively flared arches. A set of 17-inch, ten spoke Enkei alloys sit beneath the flared wings and are finished in the familiar anodised gold hue. The underside of ‘S300DBY’ has been treated to a clear wax oil underseal. The practical yet sporting cabin is finished in black and blue fabric with plenty of STi reminders around, including on the seat backs, steering wheel boss and centre console. A later full screen head unit has been fitted. That aside, this Impreza retains a high level of desirable originality.

Now in the stewardship of just its second, ‘VOY477L’ is notable for its excellent restored condition and its vibrant, eye-catching presentation. Being a 500R, this is a desirable later version with the more powerful 594cc engine and the full synchromesh gearbox. Today the odometer reads a shade over 75,000 kms and ‘VOY477L’ comes with lots of provenance providing paperwork, some period booklets as well as its original Italian registration plates. ‘VOY477L’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle by DVLA and hence considered MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax. The vendor describes ‘VOY477L’ as easily able to keep up with traffic and possessing a great gear change and a compliant ride. ‘VOY477L’ is only being sold due a back issue with the vendor and is ready to use and enjoy immediately.‘VOY477L’ looks amazing in its China Red livery which can better be described as a vibrant terracotta hue. The R models employed the steel wheels from the Fiat 126, and these have been finished in an off white. Other charming, noteworthy features include a full sized vinyl sunroof, front spot lamps and a rear mounted chromed luggage rack. ‘VOY477L’s’ cabin is a refreshingly spartan affair but remaining eminently practical and utterly original looking. Black vinyl, carpet and rubber abounds but the big windows and full length and width sunroof flood the cabin with light. The original red vinyl seats are also included in the sale. This R model exhibits the neater single round speedometer with integrated warning lights. The vendor judges the paintwork, bodywork and interior as “excellent.”In terms of mechanical configuration, the 500R features the well proven twin cylinder 594cc rear mounted engine as used in the Fiat 126. The power output is incredibly modest by today’s standards but the 500R never feels anything other than sprightly and nippy. That’s most likely due to the car’s 500 kg or so dry weight. This specification is emblematic of the 500’s ethos – minimalistic but more than adequate. All ‘VOY477L’ mechanical systems are rated as “excellent.”In summary:Imported from Italy in 2017 with just two UK keepers to dateA desirable, later 500R with bigger engine and synchromesh gearboxCompete with plenty of paperwork included some from its Italian life

The vendor adds it has an original spare wheel, original Subaru pouch and toolkit, two keys and two alarm fobs.The Subaru Impreza WRX was made famous by Colin McRae’s WRC exploits behind the wheel of a Prodrive-prepared rally car. The exuberant Scot helped put the car on the map – and the fact it delivered exceptional performance, engaging handling and superb reliability for a strikingly affordable price meant a waiting list soon built. Even today, it will feel fast and thrilling, aided by grippy all-wheel drive. The STI was a high-performance WRX, for rally homologation, that was originally only offered in the Japanese home market. STI stands for Subaru Tecnica International. Compared to the WRX, they had blueprinted engines, transmission and suspension, along with more power. Type RA models took things a stage further – they were stripped-back editions designed for competition use, with less weight, a close-ratio gearbox and clever Driver Controlled Centre Differential, or DCCD. They were built on an order-only basis and are now extremely rare and collectable.

The vendor says it “looks and drives well,” with the trademark folding hard-top roof problem-free. It has a partial service history, and was most recently serviced in January 2025, when it was also given a fresh MOT.‘KX05AFU’ has also had a considerable amount of work done on it. This includes a new subframe – fitted by Mercedes-Benz – new brake discs and pads, new brake wear leads, new inboard shoes and a fresh handbrake cable. This further enhances a condition that the vendor describes as ‘good’ overall. The odometer reads 121,000 miles and the vendor adds that a condition alert received in September 2024 didn’t come with a category marker. Following its renewal, which involved a “massive” amount of work, it now “runs perfectly”.The Mercedes-Benz SLK was released in 1996 as a stylish compact roadster with an ingenious folding hard-top roof. The original R170 was designed under the famed Bruno Sacco, as a modern tribute to the 1950s Mercedes-Benz 190SL, and soon developed a cult following. Its successor, the R171, was launched in 2004, featuring a comprehensive round of improvements that improved the car’s torsional rigidity and aerodynamics. The roof operated more quickly, and an optimised design meant it took up less boot space. This car is an R171 version, featuring the torquey and efficient supercharged 2.0-litre engine.In summary:Offered at No ReserveRecently servicedComprehensive renewal work
Registration – FJO 94VChassis No. – 25A0111382M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 36,368‘FJO 94V’ is a vibrant looking example of Volkswagen T25 four berth camper van from 1980. The T25 arrived in 1979 as the follow up model to the familiar “bay window” model and, confusingly, was known as the Vanagon in the USA and the T3 in much of Europe. ‘FJO 94V’ hails from 1980, just a year into T25 production and is thought to be a UK supplied and specified model. ‘FJO 94V’ underwent a colour change in 2017 from its original blue and white to its current green and white. It is clear that the four berth interior has enjoyed a significant refitting more recently, too, as it presents very nicely. ‘FJO 94V’ benefits from being MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax, based on age and is being offered here with no reserve. ‘FJO 94V’ is reported to “start, run and move” but will require recommissioning before road use due to a period of two years or so since last being used.That 2017 green and white livery certainly lends ‘FJO 94V’ a distinctive look and its single radiator grill marks this out as an air-cooled version of the T25 as opposed to the later water cooled version. ‘FJO 94V’ features plenty of Westfalia decals as well as some other VW appropriate ones. The bodywork and paintwork both exhibit some minor issues which are reflected in our photographic package. The cab of ‘FJO 94V’ is finished in black and features a pair of non-VW high backed seats which exhibit noticeable wear as well as some tape based repair. In the rear the high top lends this space plenty of standing head room as well as being the location for two of the four berths. The other two are courtesy of the rock and roll bed which converts from the bench seat in the rear cabin. ‘FJO 94V’ offers full camping credentials with a built in gas cooker, hob and 12/240V fridge. What’s more insulated window covers are present, as is a twin battery, leisure electrical system with plug in site hook up. The condition of the interior is rated as “good” with the paintwork and bodywork garnering an “average.”‘FJO 94V’ features the well-known 1,600cc air-cooled, flat four boxer engine located in the rear of the T25. This is mated to a four speed manual transmission. As reported a mechanical check and recommissioning will be required to the mechanical systems before use. The engine, gearbox and electrics all attract an “average” rating.

The current owner acquired ‘KYU126’ at auction in 2021 with the Jaguar having covered less than 10 miles since then. The available MOT history also confirms that only around 800 miles have been covered since 2006. This MKV is a home market specified and supplied right hand drive model hailing from 1950. Just under 6,000 in this specification were originally made with the Jaguar Drivers’ Club knowing of just 81 remaining as far back as 1988. That number will have likely significantly decreased by now. ‘KYU126’ is thought to have been restored in the mid 1990’s to include paintwork and interior. With an MOT exemption and zero rating for road tax based on its age, ‘KYU126’ is offered with some insightful supporting paperwork and photographs from various periods of its long history. Comes to us from the large collection of an individual enthusiast.The MKV was a technical tour-de-force, and became the first Jaguar with independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes and designed to be produced in both left and right hand drive. It was also the first to wear the distinctive rear spats. ‘KYU126’ is finished in distinctive, two tone Seafrost and Black with impressive “double-decker” chromed bumpers. The saloon style body provides room for five adults and is trimmed in a tan leather with accents of chrome and varnished, wooden veneers which were refurbished during the restoration, too. It is further reported that a full, original toolkit is present in the boot.‘‘KYU126’s’ 3.5-litre pushrod engine is based on a Standard design but built by Jaguar and rendered it as the top of the MKV range, producing around a quoted 120bhp. This was found to be good for in excess of 90mph back in its day. A four speed manual gearbox also features. So good was ‘KYU126’s’ restoration, that it appeared in a Classic Cars magazine feature in December 2003. A laminated copy of this article is reported to be present in the paperwork archive.In summary:A very rare, striking two-tone example of the MKV JaguarJust three owners to date and the subject of a diligent restoration in the mid 1990’sComplete with an instructive paperwork archive

The key challenge, today, is finding one in broadly original specification, however. ‘SV57 LOD’ fits that desirable bill very well, with just its wheels noted as straying from factory specification. With just four former keepers to date and an indicated mileage of a shade over 78,000 miles covered, ‘SV57 LOD’ represents an increasingly rare find. ‘SV57 LOD’ additionally boasts a full independent service history and is compete with a long MOT valid until March 2026. Described by the vendor as running and driving really well, ‘SV57 LOD’ is offered here with NO RESERVE.The Ford Focus ST soon became much admired for blending all the standard car’s family saloon practicality with a 150mph technical specification, all for under £20,000 back in 2006. ‘SV57 LOD’ remains a faithful representation of the original concept in an eye catching red livery. The ST’s external cues include the more aggressive front bumper, mesh grill and distinctive twin tail pipes. The cabin, whilst retaining the legendary Focus practicality, got an upgrade courtesy of Recaro produced front seats, a chunky ST steering wheel and the addition of three auxiliary gauges atop the dashboard. The vendor rates the bodywork, paintwork and interior as “good” overall.With Ford also owning Volvo at the time of the ST’s introduction, the five cylinder, 2.5-litre turbocharged T5 engine was borrowed from the Swedish firm for service in the Focus. Ford made some alterations to the unit resulting in a characterful sounding and gutsy unit delivering 222bhp and 320 NM of torque in original form. A six speed manual gearbox fed power to the front wheels. ‘SV57 LOD’ has reportedly been well maintained throughout its life with all mechanical aspects of the ST being rated as “good.” A highly original example of hot hatch royalty offered with no reserve.

Registration – GND 540VChassis No. – 7907/1557AM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 32,865This striking 1979 Lotus Elite 504 instantly draws attention with its ultra-low (and verified) odometer reading of just 32,865 miles. The vendor says it is a very reluctant sale and is because they have back problems, meaning they sadly can no longer drive it. The original sales invoice reveals it was sold by Sports Motors in Manchester, with this range-topping Elite 504 featuring a three-speed automatic gearbox, power steering, air conditioning, electric windows and optional leather seats. Back in August 1979, it sold for £15,077. ‘GND540V’ is described as having an ‘excellent’ engine, transmission and electrics, helped by a comprehensive service history file. It was serviced every year or two, with Lotus specialist Esprit Cars taking over maintenance in 1990. More recently, the 2.0-litre 907 engine has enjoyed a recommissioning that included a replacement cambelt.Fascinatingly, Esprit Cars proprietor, a Mr. Moore, gave ‘GND540V’ its original pre-delivery inspection, and looked after the car throughout its life – before eventually purchasing it in 2003. He only sold it himself in 2017, with this Elite now having three former keepers. A highly original example, ‘GND540V’ has period paintwork and interior, with the leather seats showing minimal wear. It even has its original dealer number plates, tax disc holder and tool kit, while the MOT history dates back to 1982. A fabulous and well-loved time capsule, this 1979 Lotus Elite 504 is a fascinating and highly desirable collectable.The second-generation Lotus Elite was launched in 1974. It used the same name as the Type 14 sold between 1957-1963, but was a very different proposition, with a distinctive wedge-shaped design. Replacing the Elan Plus 2, the Type 74 Lotus Elite firmly took the brand upmarket and appealed to a new type of luxury sports car buyer. It used a new 2.0-litre engine, the Type 907, and was at launch the world’s most expensive four-cylinder car. Designer Oliver Winterbottom said the basic chassis and suspension layout were designed by Colin Chapman himself, meaning the Elite and replated Eclat were the last Lotus road cars with significant input from the company founder. In Summary:1979 Lotus Elite 504 automaticHigh spec includes air conditioning and leather seatsHighly original with comprehensive history file

The first owner of ‘ESO 600’ is confirmed as the Earl of Moray and was reportedly used as his personal car. The Earl retained the XK150 right into the 1980’s and even commissioned a full nut and bolt restoration by specialist, David Holmes, shortly before he sold it. The second keeper acquired ‘ESO 600’ in 1984 and retained it until 2016, when the current keeper acquired it. This matching numbers example is offered in the holy trinity of XK specifications, namely - with UK right hand drive provenance, a moss manual gearbox and fixed head coupe configuration. This car’s chassis number reveals it to be an SE model and the 522nd of just 583 built to this specification in 1958. The “DN” suffix suggests ‘ESO 600’ left Coventry fitted with an overdrive unit in support of the four speed manual transmission. ‘ESO 600’ is offered here today with an ample archive of supporting paperwork an ephemera.Whilst clearly an evolution of the earlier, highly regarded XK120 and XK140 models, the XK150 was comprehensively revised as the ultimate expression of the XK lineage.

All these revisions can be noted and enjoyed in the flowing lines of ‘ESO 600’ together with its cross-spoked, wire wheels and a subtle flash of chromed brightwork. ‘ESO 600’ is finished in classic British Racing Green livery. The complementary hued green leather clad interior retains a marvellous degree of sought after originality and innate charm. The overall condition of ‘ESO 600’s’ paintwork, bodywork and interior are rated by the vendor as “good.”This rating reflects in the XK’s mechanical systems, too. ‘ESO 600’ is fitted with the 3.4-litre version of the XK engine which first appeared in the XK120. In this iteration the DOHC, straight-six unit boasted twin SU carburettors and was not outputting around 190bhp which was hugely impressive for its day.

How rare? Of the mere 141 right-hand drive Ferrari 456GT sold in the UK between 1994 and 1998, just two were in Azzurro Monaco – and this is confirmed by the Ferrari Owners Club. ‘N114BRB’ was first registered in the UK in January 1996, and later registered in the Isle of Man (IOM) in February 2004. It was stored off road between 2005 and 2011. It has had just two owners in the IOM, including the vendor, who’s owned it since 2012. Notably, this Ferrari 456GT has covered just 26,100 miles.‘N114BRB’ has a comprehensive service history by Ferrari specialists both in the UK and IOM, including JCT600 and Graypaul.

There are a few scratches and chips, but no dents or major defects. Similarly, the interior leather is slightly worn, in keeping with the age of the car, but there are no tears or splits. “All the interior electrics are working as they should, the engine starts first time and runs beautifully.” The car was a participant in 2012’s world record for the largest parade of Ferraris on a racetrack at the same time, verified by the Guinness Book of Records.The Ferrari 456GT marked the return of the beautiful V12 Ferrari GT car made famous in the 1960s and 1970s. Introduced in 1992, it succeeded the unpopular 412 as the firm’s V12 four-seater. The beautiful styling was designed by Pietro Camardella at Pininfarina, and reportedly inspired by the 365 GTB Daytona. The 5.5-litre V12 produced 436hp, giving it a dazzling 192mph top speed. 0-60mph took under five seconds. The 456 name was derived from the fact each cylinder displaced 456cc. Enthusiasts much prefer manual versions to the Ferrari 456 GTA; there was also later an updated Ferrari 456M.In summary:1996 Ferrari 456GT in ultra-rare Azzurro MonacoHas covered just 26,100 milesParticipant in a Ferrari world record verified by the Guinness Book of Records

Manual gearboxNo sunroofComprehensive service history with more than 20 stamps in the bookVery worthwhile project, ideal for a resto-mod buildWhilst it is certainly true that there are a number of similarities that follow through from the previous model, the Stuttgart firm have always been very keen to point out that at least 85% of the 964 generation 911, in fact, differed. From the obvious change to the bumpers, through to the increased displacement of the car’s motive power, ABS brakes now became standard and careful attention has been paid to the aerodynamics used to reduce the drag coefficient down to virtually zero. The stability and road holding at high speed were also greatly improved with a new retractable spoiler automatically extending at 50mph seriously increasing downforce and doubling the volume of air fed into the engine compartment.Our vendor purchased this car around 15 years ago and used it as a daily driver for a number of years before an ECU issue around 2016 took the car off the road and other commitments stopped the repairs being finished. The car is in fact a very desirable ‘C16’ UK supplied non sunroof coupé with that all important manual gearbox. The car is presented in Guards Red with Linen interior and sport seats and air conditioning. This 911 was originally supplied to Ireland, first being registered in the UK in 1995. The car has stood for around seven or eight years, and is sold as a non-runner, so will require some TLC but it is an absolutely ideal starting point for a resto-mod build and with the way 964 prices have gone, it’s a very worthwhile project for someone wanting to keep it original.

• Restored to an excellent standard • Over £20,000 of receipts on file detailing the restoration • Desirable 150bhp ‘CP’ engine and overdrive The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years, starting in 1969, and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15" wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total, 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK. This is an exceptional example of a UK supplied TR6 CP, extensively restored and tastefully modernised. The exterior is now painted in a highly attractive metallic red (Barcelona Red) which really brings the look of the car into the modern day and suits the lines of the TR6 perfectly. The car was full stripped to bare metal in 2019 and resprayed to a very impressive standard which still looks superb today, thanks to a full ceramic coating. The restoration of the car was extremely comprehensive, virtually no stone was left unturned. The interior has been upgraded with a pair of Mazda MX5 seats, a very popular upgrade for additional comfort and they don’t look out of place in the TR6 at all. The dashboard has been changed to a beautiful walnut veneer dashboard, which really lifts the interior. Other additions are a classic looking Bluetooth stereo and inertia reel seatbelts. Our vendor has owned the car since 2007 and possesses the skills to carry out a vast majority of the restoration work himself, with the invoices on file coming to a total of around £20,000 for parts and the paintwork. The engine was fully stripped down and had some machining work at Classic & Modern Engine Services in Bracknell, then it was fully rebuilt. This is a TR6 which is ready to be enjoyed this summer and wouldn’t look out of place at any classic car show. The history file is extensive and documents everything carried out during the restoration and it’s supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until Jun 2025 and a V5C registration document.

Trophy Cup wheels with Yokohama tyres.Bespoke exhaust system.One of only 256 manufactured for the UK market.The RenaultSport Clio V6 is a rare gem in the hot hatch segment, celebrated for its audacity and charm. Unlike its front-wheel-drive Clio siblings, this car radically re-imagined the formula by adopting a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, making it more akin to a supercar than a traditional hatchback. Powered by a 3.0-litre V6 engine, borrowed and tuned from the Laguna, it produces around 230bhp. The engine placement behind the driver dramatically alters the car’s dynamics, delivering an exhilarating driving experience but requiring careful handling, especially at the limit. Paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, the Clio V6 achieves 0-60 mph in approximately 6.2 seconds and boasts a top speed of about 147 mph. Visually, the Clio V6 stands out with its aggressive wide-body kit, flared wheel arches, and enlarged air intakes, signalling its performance credentials. Its muscular stance is further enhanced by bespoke alloy wheels and a lowered suspension. Inside, the cabin features sporty touches, such as bolstered seats and aluminium accents, but retains the Clio’s functional simplicity. Despite its undeniable allure, the Clio V6 was criticized for its hefty weight and challenging handling, often described as tail-happy. It’s a car that demands respect and skill but rewards with unmatched thrills. Today, it’s a sought-after collector’s piece, valued for its unique approach to the hot hatch formula and its daring departure from convention.Launched in 2001 the Renaultsport Clio was based on the Clio Mk. II although it shared very little with its cousin. Originally registered on 5th July 2002 this Clio V6 is one of only 256 manufactured for the UK market. It presents in fabulous condition and has Trophy Cup wheels (these are very rare), fitted with Yokohama tyres, in addition to this the brakes have also been upgraded. KW V3 shocks with upgraded top mounts, Trophy Cup rear spoiler, bespoke exhaust system, bucket seats are all fitted, the period Trophy-style livery perhaps the icing on the cake, this is certainly a special Renault. Capable of good track performance, the 3.0 litre 24 valve, V6 engine produces 227bhp this Clio V6 is also road legal and will certainly attract admiring glances. The exhaust emits an amazing sound and the handling of this rare, right hand drive Renaultsport Clio is more than impressive. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
• Offered with mileage verification certificate• Comprehensive service history• ULEZ CompliantIn 2003, Jaguar introduced the re-engineered and newly designed third generation of the XJ. It featured an all-aluminium body and chassis and a new V8 engine. The V8 engine was offered in larger 3.5 and 4.2 litre as well as in a supercharged variation. A new six-speed automatic gearbox was fitted which was lighter and offered better economy. Air suspension was fitted at the front and rear, providing adaptive damping as well as rear self-levelling with computer-controlled ride height and suspension mode. Jaguar launched the X358 facelift to the X350 at the end of February 2007 with a revised lower grille, prominent faux side air vents, small boot lid spoiler, and revised seating. A Jaguar emblem within the grille replaced the previous bonnet-mounted mascot. This stunning low mileage example was first registered in 2007 and is presented in Liquid Silver Pearl with Barley piped leather trim. Sitting on 20-inch Callisto alloy wheels shod with Pirelli Tyres all round, this is a 2008 model year that were Ian Callum re-designed cars. A rare car being XJR powered (400bhp) with Sovereign levels of comfort and suspension settings, boasting a mere 36,782 miles from new with a mileage verification certificate supplied when the car was recently repatriated to the UK from Japan. The car is supplied with a new V5 registration document coupled to a new MoT test certificate valid until March 2026 with no advisories. We are informed the car boasts a service history from new as well as the mileage verification certificate, a full book pack, two keys and is ULEZ compliant. The car presents as new, unsurprisingly, but importantly has a full UK specification radio, speedo and satellite navigation so very much UK specification.

Fast road specification with some desirable upgradeZetec engine running side draught Dellorto carburettorsFive speed gearboxThe Ford Escort Mk. II RS2000, was produced from 1975 to 1980, and is a legendary rally car that has become an icon in motorsport history. Renowned for its performance and handling, the RS2000 was powered by a 2.0 litre engine, generating around 115bhp and allowing for impressive acceleration and agility on both roads and rally stages. Its distinctive styling makes it a standout model in the Escort lineup and a firm favourite for Ford collectors. Weighing in at just over 900kg, the Mk. II RS2000 benefitted from a lightweight construction, paired with a sport-tuned suspension that enhanced its cornering ability. The car enjoyed considerable success in motorsport, contributing to Ford's dominance in rallying during the late '70s.This particular example has been uprated for fast road use with the addition of a modern Zetec twin-cam engine running on side draught Dellorto carburettors mated to a Sierra five speed gearbox. The suspension has been changed for stiffer, lower suspension to improve the handling and the front brakes are understood to be from a Capri 2.8 injection. A roll cage has also been fitted to complete the fast road package. The car was purchased in December in 2023 by our vendors partner who has always promised himself one and they thoroughly enjoyed it however the car is now being sold due to him sadly passing away. The previous owner purchased the car in 1997 and used it very little. We are informed since purchase in December 2023, our vendors partner, who was a mechanic by trade, re-commissioned various parts on the car and used it regularly. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document and some invoices detailing works across the years. This Escort RS2000 is offered without reserve and will make an excellent car for some summer fun. Consigned by Fraser Smith Interested parties should note that this vehicle is sold as a non-runner, it has been in storage for a while and is turning over but won't fire, some recommissioning will be required.

Successor to the R-Type, the Bentley S1 was introduced in 1955 with a whole new chassis; the car's wheelbase had been extended 3" to 123", and the luggage compartment was expanded. The S1 had softer suspension than the R-Type, with electrically controlled rear shock absorbers. Brakes had been improved, and the steering was lighter. This model marked the final integration of Bentley with Rolls-Royce - the standard saloons were now entirely alike, but for grilles and badging. The engine was Rolls' 4887cc F-head six, in its final configuration before the introduction of V8 power in 1959. Manual gearboxes were supplied only to special order. The British Magazine, the Motor reported a top speed of 103mph and 0-60 acceleration of 13.1 seconds from a short-wheelbase S1 in 1957.First registered on 28th July 1958, this wonderful Bentely S1 found its second home in a matter of months when it was sold to Lt. Col. A. R. Bond in December of the same year. Reported by the vendor to be in very good condition mechanically with work in recent years including a gearbox rebuild and top end overhaul, at which time the core plugs were replaced, the cooling system flushed and the engine generally tidied. The car was also fitted with front seatbelts, new starter motor and solenoid, new fuel pump and electronic ignition. Consequently, the engine runs very well, as these ‘big sixes’ do when properly maintained and regularly used. The car has benefitted from regular servicing reflected in the accompanying large history file which shows not just receipts but also copies of the original build sheets. The interior is largely original and lightly patinated. The rear seats are original and in good condition whereas the front seats were reconditioned by the previous owner and are prodigiously comfortable. The car was repainted under a previous ownership but it remains in good condition as does the car’s gleaming chrome. We believe the Bentley S1 is one of the best-looking models produced by the British motor company, having only had five owners from new and being a matching numbers example, this Bentley is an opportunity not to be missed.

Special order Pajett RedFactory hardtopThese fabulous and popular models were launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1985, the 420 SL convertible retained its predecessor’s long-running Type 107 bodyshell virtually unchanged. The V8 engined newcomer supplanted the outgoing 380 SL model and was produced alongside the outwardly similar 300 SL ‘six’. Its power unit was an enlarged and improved version of the existing 3.8 litre overhead cam Type M116 V8. The running gear followed Mercedes-Benz’s established pattern, comprising of independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, while a new five-speed manual gearbox was offered alongside the existing four-speed automatic transmission. A mere 2,148 examples of this luxuriously equipped limited edition model were made between 1985 and 1989.Originally registered on 10th June 1988, this Mercedes presents beautifully in the delightful colour combination of Pajett Red (special order) and tan leather interior. The bodywork is in good order and the interior is exceptional given the age and mileage of this 420 SL. The V8 engined R107’s are a delight to drive, offering a smooth delivery of power. Being one of the later R107’s produced, this car benefits from a long list of improvements that are made by manufacturers throughout the production cycle. These generally command a higher price than their earlier cousins. This example must be seen to be appreciated, it is a really good and honest example. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 16th May 2025, although it is likely the vendor will present the car for a fresh MoT prior to the auction. A factory hardtop is also supplied with the car. Consigned by Stewart Banks. THIS IS SPECIAL ORDER PAJETT REDA GREAT LOOKING CAR IN A STRIKING COLOUR COMBINATIONCOMES WITH A FACTORY HARDTOP
Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door versions in January 1976 and, while there were some technical similarities to their predecessors, the new models were larger in wheelbase and exterior dimensions. The styling was also updated, although stylistic links with the W115 were maintained. In September 1982, all models received a mild facelift which included the rectangular headlights, previously only fitted to the 280/280E which were standardised across the board as was power steering. Since February 1982, an optional five-speed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MB-Tex upholstery, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, five-speed manual gearbox, four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking, sunroof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering and heated seats. An original UK-market right hand drive example, this W123-generation 230 TE was specified with Champagne paintwork over a beige interior, and is equipped with the rare factory options of cruise control and ABS. First registered in January 1983, it has had only five keepers from new and was kept by the same family for 17 years prior to the present owner. Today, the bodywork remains in very good order. While the front wings have previously been restored, this is believed to have been due to corrosion rather than any accident damage, and the underside of the car has been fully cleaned and rust-proofed to protect it from the elements. Fully resprayed a few years ago at a cost of £5,000, the Champagne metallic paintwork still looks good, with only two minor blemishes on the scuttle panel and a bubble at the front driver’s side of the sunroof panel, which is commensurate with the vehicle’s age. All the body trims, including the brightwork and plastic mouldings present very well. This 230 TE rides on the correct set of chromed 14-inch wheels with gold hubcaps. All four feature some chips and scratches to their surfaces, so would perhaps benefit from refurbishment to match the quality of the paint. Inside, it still features all of its original upholstery and trim which appears to be in very good order, considering the car’s age and mileage. The seats are clad in hardwearing beige fabric and show few signs of use, save for some minor blemishes on the base of the driver’s seat. Trimmed in beige vinyl with matching cloth centre sections, the door cards are similarly smart, and while there is a small nick towards the bottom of the rear passenger-side item, this does not detract from the interior’s impressive overall condition. Entertainment is provided via a period-correct Becker Avus cassette player. This modern classic Mercedes’ most recent routine maintenance was an extensive service, which was carried out by specialist Cosford Hall Classic in late 2019 at around 157,000 miles. At a total cost of £9,000, this involved replacement of the brake components and a full engine service, as well as the fitment of a new distributor cap, rotor arm, HT leads and spark plugs, to name but a few items. Prior to this, the brake discs and pads were changed at 156,183 miles, and the timing chain was changed in September 2018. The engine was recently overhauled at a cost of £4500, new radiators installed new fuel injectors were renewed as were the fuel pipes and a new battery was installed. The radio has been changed to a recent Bluetooth one although the original Becker radio will be included with the car, which just need re attaching for use once again. A great classic Mercedes-Benz which has reached ‘cult’ status we believe. Consigned by James Good. ORIG RIGHT HAND DRIVE CARFULL RESPRAY A FEW DAYS AGO
Automatic transmissionOnly 22,379 miles from newOriginal purchase invoiceThe Mini was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original Mini is considered a British icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front wheel drive layout that allowed 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage influenced a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T. This distinctive two-door car was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants. The Mini Mk. I had three major UK updates; the Mk. II, the Clubman and the Mk. III. Within these were a series of variations including an estate car, a pick-up and a van. The Mini Cooper and Cooper 'S' were sportier versions that were successful as rally cars, winning the Monte Carlo Rally four times from 1964 through to 1967. Initially Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names, as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969.Originally registered on 1st April 1990 this Mini Mayfair with automatic transmission has only covered 22,379 miles from new. The condition is commensurate with such a low mileage example, with the blue paintwork in good order as is the velour trim. We are advised this Mini drives well with good gear changes from the AP gearbox, an ingenious design for the time with the gearbox sitting in the sump. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with an MoT test certificate valid until 8th April 2026, the original service and handbooks, servicing invoices and the original purchase invoice.

Extensively upgraded ‘Go Anywhere’ Defender (read spec!)Absolutely excellent condition, ready for off road adventures right awayThere is little doubt that one of the most famous shapes on British roads over the last 50 years is the Land Rover. This ‘Go Anywhere’ vehicle has been used on airfields, as ambulances, crossing jungles, deserts and ice caps. The rear body not only presents in standard factory guise but with a huge range of adaptations such as pick-up trucks, tow trucks, general haulage and immediate triage on the front line. These working vehicles can also be utilised for pleasure, however, as is the case here. This is probably one of the best specified ‘Go Anywhere’ exhibition ready Defenders we have seen. Our vendor built this specifically for a 10 day 100% off road trip to Iceland and the brief was simply that the Defender must have everything required to live in it for the duration of the trip. The specification is extensive and over 800 hours were poured into building this vehicle to ensure it really could go absolutely anywhere necessary on the trip. The 300TDi was selected as the starting point, it’s an extremely strong and reliable engine and a new gearbox, transfer case, turbo, Richards galvanised chassis with galvanised gearbox crossmember and galvanised shock turrets was fitted. A 40 litre freshwater tank is fitted behind the seats with Jabsco filtered delivery system and external shower attachment. Twin fuel tanks with around 600 miles of range, Old Man Ecu shocks and steering damper with +2” heavy duty springs, all new stainless steel bolts and fittings throughout. New seals throughout, brakes refurbished with new pads, new lines, new gearbox mounts, new bushes and axles and trailing arms refurbished. A Kenlowe auxiliary fan has been fitted along with engine temperature management in the cab, adjustable towbar, snorkel and remote air intake. To assist with night driving, an LED light bar has been fitted to the roof rack and bulbar, new LED lights all round. To help with security, a Sigma S4 alarm and immobiliser have been fitted. The sleeping quarters are a Tentco Protent two-man roof tent with internal LED lighting and 12v sockets with full rear awning to match. Engine and gearbox, outrigger and bulkhead mud shields have been fitted underneath. A MEOS MC401B stereo with Maxon CM70 European CB radio had been fitted, an iPad dock and welded in floor safe have all been fitted. A Calor plug in gas system has been fitted as well as four Optima Leisure batteries, an onboard 240v inverter and an independent on-board air compressor system. The interior is also fitted with Neknic heated seats and an X Defender steering column lock, for added security. Finally, a clamshell roof box is fitted, providing much more storage space. Now that’s the specification finished… this really is no Chelsea tractor, everything has been thought of and it wants for absolutely nothing. Supplied with plenty of paperwork for the build and a V5C registration document, this Defender can be bought for a fraction of what it would cost to build today.

The largest production four-cylinder engine of its time, it featured a bore of 104mm (4.1 inches) and a stroke of 88mm (3.5 inches). The 944 S2 also received a revised gearbox to better suit the 3.0 litre engine. The 944 S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the turbo model. The manual transmission cars quoted performance figures of a six seconds 0-97km/h acceleration time, (0-100 km/h being achieved in 6.8 seconds) and a top speed of 240km/h (150mph).Amazingly showing no former registered keepers, this Porsche 944 S2 presents a rare opportunity for the winning bidder to become only the second registered keeper of this unique car.

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.

Number 22 of only 60 manufacturedFull wet weather gearExceptional conditionThe Caterham Seven is a modern embodiment of a classic British motoring icon, blending simplicity, lightness, and raw driving pleasure. Rooted in the original Lotus Seven design of the 1950s, the 2017 iteration carries forward the same ethos of minimalism while incorporating contemporary engineering advancements. At its core, the Caterham Seven is about lightweight performance. Depending on the variant, it is powered by engines ranging from a compact 660cc Suzuki turbocharged unit in the entry-level Seven 160 to Ford-sourced engines delivering up to 310 horsepower in the high-performance Seven 620. Weighing as little as 500 kg (1,102 lbs) in some configurations, the car boasts an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, enabling blistering acceleration. For example, the Seven 620 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, rivalling many supercars.The Seven’s design is unapologetically raw. It features an open cockpit, exposed wheels, and a tubular steel chassis covered with lightweight aluminium panels. There’s no unnecessary luxury—its minimalist interior includes basic instrumentation, bucket seats, and a compact steering wheel. Yet, these sparse features enhance the driving experience, putting the focus entirely on the road.It thrives on twisty roads and racetracks, where its nimbleness and agility shine. However, the lack of modern conveniences such as power steering, air conditioning, or advanced safety systems ensures it is a car for purists. In a world increasingly dominated by technology and complexity, the Caterham Seven stands as a tribute to pure, unadulterated driving joy. It remains an iconic choice for enthusiasts seeking the thrill of motoring in its most elemental form.Originally registered on 2nd June 2017 this Caterham has only covered 880 miles from new. It has the 660cc turbocharged engine which offers a brisk performance.

The newcomer replaced the outgoing 456 but, being physically larger, was a genuine four-seat Grand Tourer. It was Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle and comprised of a spaceframe manufactured in conjunction with Alcoa, that was a combination of extrusions and castings to which the body was then welded. The same chassis formed the basis of Ferrari's 599 GTB flagship Grand Tourer. The front, mid-mounted, V12 powerplant was shared with the 575 Superamerica and was not six litres as the name suggests but 5.7, though big enough for a healthy power output of 533bhp and equally impressive performance figures, including a 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed north of the magic 200mph. A total of just 3,025 examples were manufactured between 2004 and 2011, all but 199 of which featured the F1A gearbox.The car we have here is beautifully specified in Grigio Silverstone with a Nero interior and gorgeous (heated) Daytona seats with Grigio Scuro stitching. The specification also extends to yellow brake calipers and Scuderia shields, as well as the HGTS package, which included a sport exhaust, sport tuned suspension and gearbox and 19” Modular wheels. Our vendor purchased the car in 2015 and has maintained it regardless of cost during his ownership, as it also was before his tenure began. The car has been serviced by Maranello Egham for the past ten years, so they know the car very well. The service history is absolutely as one would expect, with 16 stamps in the book, from a mixture of main agents and well-respected Ferrari specialists. The most recent service was carried out by Maranello Egham who also changed the auxiliary and drive belts, giving the next owner peace of mind in that department for the next five years or 30,000 miles. The front shock absorbers were also replaced in 2021 at Maranello Egham, around 1,500 miles ago. The history file is particularly impressive, this 612 has clearly been a cherished car since day one and has always been properly maintained. The car comes complete with its battery charger in leather bound case, toolkit in leather bound case and owner’s manuals and books also in a beautiful leather wallet. The 612 is gaining in popularity and we think is looking even better with age. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, earlier mentioned service history with supporting invoices and an MoT test certificate valid until November 2025.

Previous ownership for 25 yearsRestored exampleThe Ford E83W, also sold under the Fordson brand, was a 10cwt (half ton) light commercial vehicle, built at the UK's Dagenham plant between 1938 and 1957. They were powered by the 1172cc Ford side valve engine, with a commercial gearbox, and were equipped with a very low ratio differential, making them much slower than the saloons, but giving them far greater torque.Anthony Hoists Ltd was a coachbuilder who specialized in modifying new commercial vehicles for the major motoring manufacturers, they built the steel back bodies for the E83W and others, with the Fords it was listed as a Builders Truck, rather than a Pick-up, it was certainly much beefier than the standard Ford offering which was made from wood. The E83W was aimed at the small haulage and support vehicle market. Vans were the most common, along with builders' flatbed Pick-ups with wooden side and tail boards. The rarest by far is the steel back Side-Step Pick-up, with less than 20 known to exist in the world.Offered here is an extremely rare Ford E83W. Acquired by the previous vendor in 1997, it was extensively restored and was dry stored since its restoration until sold in 2022. In excellent condition the Pick-up looks superb and was used for shows and classic car rallies throughout its last tenure. Offered with various sundry invoices, old MoT test certificates and the current UK registration document. Coming to the open market for the second time in the last two decades, this wonderful example provides huge amounts of fun for the new owner. Consigned by James Good Interested parties should note that we understand this vehicle has been running and has driven but is a non-runner presently which could be just a battery, but further inspection would be advised.

The second generation of the Volkswagen Golf was launched in Europe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1983, with sales beginning in its homeland and most other left hand drive markets soon after. It debuted in March 1984 on the right-hand drive British market. It was Volkswagen's highest volume seller from 1983 and ended production in late 1992, to be replaced by the Golf Mk. III. The Mk. II was larger than the Mk. I; its wheelbase grew slightly by three inches, as did exterior dimensions length 7.1 inches, width 2.2 inches, and height 0.2 inches. Weight was up accordingly by about 260lbs. Exterior design, developed in-house by Volkswagen design director Schäfer, kept the general lines of its Giugiaro-designed predecessor, but was slightly more rounded. The Mk. II was supplied with a wider range of engine options, including a GTD turbo diesel using the 1.6 ‘umwelt’ (ECO) diesel engine, a DOHC 1781cc 16-valve version of the straight-four GTi as well as the tried and tested 1781cc 8v GTi. All told, about 6.3 million second-generation Golfs were built.This lovely example of a Golf GTi 16V was first registered on 2nd September 1991 and presents very well in Tornado Red with Rainbow Grey interior. Interested parties should note, this car was subject to a Category N insurance claim in May 2024 due to light vandal damage, which has now been corrected. The cooling system has recently been overhauled and new braided fuel lines fitted, a stainless-steel exhaust system has also been fitted. Clearly this has been a well looked after example, confirmed by the fact, according to the vendor it drives with no known faults. The engine started immediately when requested and the gearbox operates smoothly and efficiently. Electric windows, a sunroof and power steering are all good features on this three-door Mk. II Golf. Given that the value of similar models has seen a recent rise and considering the delightful condition of this 16 valve GTi it deserves strong consideration by enthusiasts.

Just two owners from new, the first until 2024Excellent colour combination of California Sage with dark green leatherManual gearboxComprehensive main dealer and specialist service historyThe Aston Martin V8 Vantage was first introduced in 2005 as a successor to the DB7. It features a sleek and aerodynamic design, with a powerful V8 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. Under the bonnet, the Vantage is powered by a 4.3-litre V8 engine that produces 380bhp and 302 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of around 175mph. The exterior of the Vantage is characterised by its low, wide stance and classic Aston Martin design elements, including the signature front grille and distinctively shaped headlights.This particular example was very tastefully specified in California Sage with an attractive dark green leather interior and the all important manual gearbox. The car has been used sparingly, having covered only 17,000 miles in the last 18 years. The car has always been particularly well maintained, with 13 main dealer service stamps, the most recent being from HR Owen in April 2025 and a further two from Bamford Rose, an independent Aston Martin specialist. Given the particularly low mileage, the overall condition of the car is understandably very impressive. The original owner kept the car until 2024, our vendor purchased the car in May 2024 and has covered around 3,500 miles in the past year. Supplied to the auction with a large history file, MoT test certificate valid until April 2026, a V5C registration document and including the cherished registration number, this Aston Martin is one for the collector or discerning enthusiast who wants something a little different to the regular grey or black cars we so often see.

The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes and was launched on 18th October 1966. One of the best loved versions of that Cortina appeared in 1967, the 1600E, which was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October of that year. The mechanical specification included an 88bhp, 1600cc Cortina GT engine which achieved a fuel consumption of 25 miles per gallon. The 1600E interior came equally well equipped and included special rear bucket seats, reclining front seats, sports steering wheel, extra instruments and wood trim. Production ended in 1970 and, despite attempts at reviving the idea of an 'Executive' version of other, later models, Ford never recaptured the original feel of the Cortina Mk. II based 1600E. For 1969, the Mk. II model was given subtle revisions with separate 'FORD' block letters mounted on the bonnet and boot lid, a blacked-out grille and chrome strips above and below the rear lights running the full width of the rear panel on the Series II.Originally registered on 10th February 1970, this Series II 1600E presents well. The coachwork is in good order as is the interior. The 1599cc Kent engine runs very well, starts on the button and the gearbox operates as it should. Clearly this has been a very well looked after example. These were great cars and highly desirable when new, that desirability has continued throughout the life of Mk. II’s with good quality 1600E’s such as this, always in demand. This is a series two 1600E with the four clocks set in the wooden dashboard. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a good history and collection of invoices, this Ford Cortina 1600E is sure to attract attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Recently recommissioned by CKL DevelopmentsRecommissioning included major service and gearbox overhaulThere are cars that always give the aura of undiluted power. The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1970. For 1967, the GT350 carried over the K-Code high performance 289 powerplant with a 'COBRA' aluminium hi-rise. The GT500 was then added to the line-up. These later cars carried over few of the performance modifications of the 1965-66 GT350s although they did feature more cosmetic changes. The 1967 Shelby Mustangs got progressive rate springs that were comfortable on the motorways but stiffened as they were compressed to give good handling. A special front anti-roll bar was fitted along with Gabriel adjustable shocks. The new big block Shelby Mustang was the GT500. It was powered by Ford’s hydraulic lifter 10:1 compression, 428ci, V8 with the long duration, high-lift police interceptor camshaft. It was rated at a conservative 355bhp but actually pumped out some 50hp more while generating 420lb-ft of tyre scorching torque. Power front disc, rear drum brakes and power steering were mandatory options along with roll-bar mounted inertia reel shoulder harnesses and fold down rear seats. The 1967 Shelby Mustangs came with the full complement of scoops as well as unique fiberglass bonnet, nose and rear boot. There really was nothing that could surpass the Shelby GT500; it over-powered the competition both on and off the track.The 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 evocation we have for sale presents in splendid condition. The car had been in storage for a number of years, however it has recently been recommissioned by marque specialist CKL Developments in East Sussex. Work carried out included a major service and a gearbox overhaul. Additional work involved overhauling a brake caliper, bleeding the brakes, draining the cooling system and replenishing the anti-freeze, specialist repair to the water temperature gauge, the list is endless. The nett result of all this work is not just a £13,100 invoice but a Shelby GT500 Eleanor that is very well sorted and is ready to go. The 305ci (5.0 litre) engine starts on the button and to be expected sounds fantastic. On the road this Shelby drives really well and certainly attracts admirers. The grey paintwork is complemented by black stripes and a full ‘Eleanor’ bodykit. The black interior is in very good condition and the Carroll Shelby stitching in the headrests is a nice finishing touch. This is a great car that would be loads of fun at classic car events and shows. Offered at a realistic estimate given the condition and recent expenditure. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
