1933 Austin 10/4 saloon Registration Number: PV 884Chassis Number: G 26246Engine Number: IG 26320Mileage: 2,667The Austin 10hp saloon was launched in 1932. This very popular car sold in large numbers throughout the 1930s, based around a sturdy ladder-frame chassis, equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and cable-operated four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by an 1141cc side-valve four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 55mph and 35mpg.This 1933 car is a true barn find which is believed to have been unused since the 1990s. Remaining in dry storage and presented in remarkably good blue and black livery on wire wheels, we note that the tyres are flat, the roof needs repair, the engine doesn't turn and the headlamp glasses are missing, as well as one tail light.The V5C document is present and a buff continuation logbook, a 1987 MOT, as well as other related literature.Condition ReportThis car is a barn find and needs to be viewed carefully by any prospective buyer or agent to satisfy themselves as to the condition. The engine will now move freely.

Authentic vintage cast iron sign reading Official Auto Lamp Adjusting Station, likely from a mid-century automotive service shop or garage. The bold, raised lettering and weathered patina speak to its long service life, giving it a gritty industrial character that would make a striking display piece for any vintage automobilia collector or decor enthusiast. The heavy cast construction and evenly spaced mounting holes suggest it was once mounted prominently as an official certification marker. A rugged survivor from the age of hands-on mechanics and glowing headlamp beams.Dimensions: 15"L x 15"HIssued: 20th centuryCondition: Age related wear. Normal weather wear and minimal rust.

Registration No: GJ02 EZH Chassis No: WBACN52080LJ41323 MOT: January 2026PLEASE NOTE: Since cataloguing, we have been made aware that the car had a speedometer change when c.2 years old, when it had covered 11,000 miles. Therefore, the total mileage is some 39,000 miles from new.Desirable 3.0-litre wide-bodied variant with manual transmissionWarranted 39,000 miles from newFinished in one of the rarest colours, Dakar Yellow (Code 337)Offered with stamped service book and scarcely seen hardtopStyled in-house by Jogi Nagashima, the BMW Z3 entered production in September 1995. Derived from the contemporaneous E36 3-Series Saloon (though, its semi-trailing arm rear suspension was courtesy of the earlier E30), the Roadster's running gear included power-assisted rack and pinion steering, Macpherson strut independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by 1.8 or 1.9 litre four-cylinder engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission, larger capacity 2.8 litre straight-six units joined the Z3 range from 1996 onwards, and the 3.0 litre (the largest engine other than the M-specification cars) joined the production run in 2000 until 2002. Offered with both manual and automatic five-speed ZF transmissions, only 18,378 examples are thought to have been produced in both Coupe and Roadster specifications making the 3.0i one of the rarest variants of Z3 manufactured.Registered new on the 25th April 2002, ‘GJ02 EZH’ was finished from the factory in one of the rarest and most desirable colours, Dakar Yellow (Code 337). Complemented internally by matching Yellow and Black leather upholstery with Black carpets, the Z3 also features a Black hood. Well specified from the factory with leather Sport heated seats, M-Sport steering wheel, 18-inch 'M' alloy wheels, M-Sport gearknob, air conditioning, electric soft top, wind deflector, electric mirrors, white indicator lenses, headlamp cleaning, rollover protection, and rare body coloured hard top which pleasingly is still present with the car. A 3.0i straight-six example with the largest (non-M) Z3 engine, the BMW also benefits from having the more desirable five-speed manual gearbox.Offered now having covered just 39,000 miles from new, the Z3 is barely run-in! Accompanied to sale by the owner’s handbook and service book in the BMW wallet, the service book displays ten stamps with almost all of these from main dealers or specialists. Further supplied with the original tool kit, warning triangle, and jack, a no advisory MOT until January next year is present as well as the current V5C document. Today, this example must be one of the finest on the road, with both the exterior and interior present excellently and the car drove particularly well when test driven upon consignment with no warning lights present. If you are looking for a genuine, collector quality Z3 with low mileage and a very rare colour scheme, then look no further than this particular example.

Registration No: SV11 PGU Chassis No: WDB2304582F166873 MOT: November 2025Only c.38,000 miles from newSpecial order Mauritius Blue Designo paintwork with Grey leather interior upholsteryWell-specified example including Parktronic, Airscarf, AMG 19-inch wheels, and Bi-XenonsMost recently serviced just over 1,000 miles agoThe R230 was introduced in 2001 and continued the evolution of SL with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a 'Vario Roof' retractable hardtop, 'Keyless Go' keyless entry and smart key, and 'Sensotronic Brake Control' (SBC) electro-hydraulic power brake system. In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and a new front end that evoked the classic 300 SL with a large grille, a prominent three-pointed star and twin 'power domes' on the bonnet. It also features new headlights, which give the car the modern look it enjoys with an optional 'Intelligent Light System' and a new speed sensitive steering system.‘SV11 PGU’ was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being road registered on the 3rd May 2011, and registered new to a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Scotland, before very shortly afterwards registered to the dealer principal's wife. Finished from new in the fabulous colour scheme of special order Mauritius Blue Designo paintwork with Grey leather interior upholstery, and a panoramic roof, the SL was very well specified from the factory and included Parktronic; Airscarf and draught stop; AMG 19-inch wheels; mirrors package with auto dimming; electric memory adjustable drivers seat; Comand APS with DVD; automatic climate control; aluminium trim pieces; heated screen wash system; heated seats; and Bi-Xenons. Passing to one further family in Scotland before heading to England, the SL350 has since been owned by the vendor and a neighbour.Benefitting from a new V-Belt, new control unit and a small service in 2022, costing some £1,500, the Mercedes has also recently received two new batteries, as well as boasting scarcely used Pirellis all around. Supplied with the book pack, two sets of keys, a space saver wheel and a collection of invoices, the SL also has a current V5C document. A wonderful balance of sport, technology, and luxury, low mileage examples of the second-generation R230 are potentially a smart investment for the future and are becoming very collectable, and this example, presented in an excellent Designo colour combination, is certainly one to consider.

In the rare and desirable signature launch colour of Pacifica Blue, this below 25,000 miles, one former keeper, 'Big Turbo' Lux model is undoubtedly 'collector quality'. Introduced in 1992, the Escort RS Cosworth was an 'homologation special' based on the fifth generation Ford Escort and its sole role was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their 'Group A' rally cars to ensure success in the World Rally Championship, a 'Group A' rally car for the road - pure and simple.It was available as a road car from 1992-1996 in limited numbers from Ford’s Specialist Vehicle Engineering (SVE) team, combining the hand-assembled engine expertise of Cosworth and the coachbuilding crafts of Karmann. Powered by the familiar 2-litre turbocharged, longitudinally-mounted, Cosworth-developed engine driving all four wheels, the Stephen Harper-designed car was engineered in Boreham with final assembly by Karmann in Germany.The potential of the Escort was evident in its first ever event, the 1993 Monte Carlo Rally, where Delecour and Biasion came second and third respectively. The Escort continued to be very competitive throughout the 1993 and 1994 seasons but it was a 'one-off' guest drive by Tommi Mäkinen that provided the long-awaited win on the 1994 '1000 Lakes' Rally, the first of many high-profile top-flight rally victories. Additionally and true to Ford's grassroots philosophy, the Escort Cosworth provided a platform for National Rallying and Club enthusiasts throughout the world to enjoy 'off-the-shelf' competitive support, securing its status as a true Ford icon. Only 7,145 Ford Escort RS Cosworth examples were ever produced, with the original and highly coveted 'Big Turbo' models numbering just 2,500, being built for specifically for homologation.The car presented here is a 1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth, in the striking and sought after paint colour of Pacifica Blue (Code J2), one of five launch colours chosen by Ford to showcase their new 'halo' model. This example was specified from new with the 'Lux' pack, adding Recaro seats (the more expensive perforated Raven leather upholstery, Code LW, option here), opening rear quarter windows, electrically operated and heated door mirrors, 'Quickclear' heated windscreen, heated washer jets, 3-spoke leather covered steering wheel, central double locking, tailgate release, lights on warning, rear centre armrest, rear head restraints, sunroof and electric windows - plus the factory option of genuine Ford floormats which are the ultra-rare high specification in deep blue to complement the exterior finish, whilst an owner has added the subtle additions of a Magnex stainless steel exhaust system, a Sigma Category 1 alarm system and genuine Ford headlamp protectors.It was built at the Rhein Assembly Plant in Germany in November 1992 and registered new on 15th January 1993, making it one of the highly collectible 2,500 'Big Turbo' homologation specials on a 'K-registration'. It was supplied new by Ford RS Dealer, Tony Brooks of Weybridge, with their dealership rear screen sticker and tax discs holder still affixed, whilst the bookpack still contains the original staff business cards and dealer keyrings, always a good sign!The accompanying history file suggests diligent ownership and is as complete as possible for a 32 year old car. The paperwork is meticulously presented in individual folders, with chronologically filed service invoices and virtually every MOT Certificate, whilst the original service book contains 14 stamped entries. The car's previous owner was Vice Chairman of the Hertfordshire and North London RS Owners Club and also present is a separate file housing all the RS Owners Club membership documentation and multiple agreed valuations, the most recent being £82,000 in 2021. Within the file are copies of Practical Classics and Fast Ford magazines where this actual car, chosen for its amazing condition and provenance, feature in a detailed Buyers’ Guide and its three original keys including the master blade further emphasise the Escort's delightful originality. Servicing is fully up to date, with a cam belt change completed in June 2022.This is an exceptional Ford in every respect, undoubtedly 'collector quality', with just a single previous recorded owner, continuous upkeep, servicing and storage by Ford marque enthusiasts and a low but useable mileage, ensuring it can still be 'exercised' on the right days, reminding its lucky owner just how well they perform and why they have become so sought after.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS COSWORTH Year: 1993 Chassis Number: WF0BXXGKABNS97270 Registration Number: K244 WPC Transmission: Manual Engine Number: NS97270 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 24724 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Registration – LOI 2609Chassis No. – B54ECM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 34,106Part of one man’s extensive collection, this 1964 Bentley S3 immediately appeals thanks to an odometer reading a mere 34,100 miles – with DVLA support for this stretching back to 2001. Tantalisingly, it is offered at No Reserve. Originally registered in June 1964, it was believed to be later used overseas and then repatriated back to the UK in 1978 – as evidenced by the included V5. The two-tone grey and blue coachwork is paired with a grey leather interior, which features extensive walnut veneer. While ‘LOI2609’ doesn’t have a current MOT, it had a clean report from its last MOT in September 2012, with no advisories in the five former tests either. The Bentley S Series was a Bentley development of the Rolls-Royce Cloud-based saloons. The S3 was the final development in the series, and was introduced in 1962. Key visual changes included a four-headlamp front end and lower bonnet line and grille. The interior was honed to give more rear legroom, while a high-compression version of the 6.2-litre V8 engine gave a power boost and a top speed of nearly 120mph. This elegant carriage was replaced in 1965. In summary: 1964 Bentley S3 with odometer reading just 34,100 milesRegistered in 1964 and repatriated in 1978Stately and presentable version of a classic Bentley
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 – PLU 796EChassis No. – 1E1796M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 57,923Despite Sir William Lyons being an autocratic patron of Jaguar, he was also wise enough to give aerodynamicist extraordinaire, Malcom Sayer, a pretty free hand when it came to the E Type. The results, of course, have been speaking for themselves for decades. ‘PLU 796E’s’ chassis number of 1E1796 reveals it to be a superb and desirable example. The 1E prefix confirms it as a factory right hand drive, open two seater (OTS) model. Although Jaguar only recognised three distinct series of E Type, a transitional period between series 1 and 2 is sometimes referred to as “1.5.” These cars would often feature some elements of S2 specification, without much formality or structure, as production of the S1 ground to a halt and S2 production gained pace. There is no “official” chassis number designated as the start of the S1.5 but ‘PLU 796E’ is just 387 cars from the end of S1 production making it a highly likely candidate for S1.5 status. What is a matter of fact, however, is that ‘PLU 796E’ has been enjoyed by a mere three owners to date. The first retained ‘PLU 796E’ until 2011. The current owner acquired ‘PLU 796E’ in 2013 with around 56,000 miles recorded at that time. Less than 2,000 miles have been added since then, with it dry stored between uses. ‘PLU 796E’ benefitted from a nut and bolt restoration in the 1980’s undertaken by specialists, Southern Classics. Offered today with ample supporting paperwork, including an informative Heritage Certificate, this is a truly desirable example of, surely, the most esteemed British sports car.‘PLU 796E’ presents in classic British Racing Green which exudes a deep lustre from the Jaguar’s subtly flared wings and panels. Sayer’s unique blend of art and maths is writ large in the sublime form of ‘PLU 796E.’ Externally, at least, the key S1 attributes are all in evidence here – the fared in headlamp apertures, the small front grill, and diminutive rear lamps situated above the chromed bumpers. The tightly fitting fabric hood is finished in contrasting black. The “special occasion” interior of ‘PLU 796E’ is finished in complementary green leather with the bodywork, paintwork and interior all vendor rated as “good.”With the Series 1 cars offered in 3.8-litre and 4.2-litre forms, ‘PLU 796E’ is fitted with the bigger iteration of the iconic XK, straight-six engine. This was originally quoted to produce 265bhp and 283 Ib-ft of torque. Many independent road tests of the time achieved a 150mph top speed and a 0-60mph time in the mid seven seconds. ‘PLU 796E’ benefits from the factory fitment of the most desirable four speed Moss manual transmission. The mechanical systems of ‘PLU 796E’ are all rated as “excellent.”
Registration – M41 FVCChassis No. – SAJDKALS3BR720268M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – TBCThis exciting 1994 Daimler Double-Six is described as a barn find offered at No Reserve. Part of one man’s extensive collection, ‘M41FVC’ uses the later 6.0-litre V12 engine, producing over 310bhp for a genuine 155mph top speed when new. Records show this 30-year-old Daimler has had just six former keepers, and has been in its current stewardship for eight years. Its last MOT was completed in June 2016, where it was given a pass with just a single advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. An impressive odometer reading of 175,000 miles shows this Daimler Double-Six has been well-used and well-loved.‘M41FVC’ has an interior featuring all the Daimler refinements, including rich grey leather and wood veneer that extends to the steering wheel and instrument pack. The classic six-dial layout is another highlight – as is the stylised gold Daimler ‘D’ on the steering wheek. On the outside, the ‘D’ is replicated on the grille, while classic red Daimler logos feature on the bootlid, including the ‘Double Six’ script.The 1994-1997 Daimler Double-Six was derived from the contemporary Jaguar X300-series XJ6. The first Jaguar to be produced under Ford Motor Company stewardship, this evolution of the Jaguar XJ40 represented a £200 million investment. The design was beautifully evolved with a twin-headlamp design, while quality and reliability were much-improved. The Daimler Double-Six was the range-topping version, carrying the codename X305 along with the Jaguar XJ12 version. Design highlights included lashings of chrome, heated front seats and special wood veneer.In Summary:Barn-find 1994 Daimler Double-Six offered at No ReserveInterior with all the usual Daimler refinementsJust six former keepers
Registration – ROY 519LChassis No. – BBECNU38405M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 63,585In 1973 with the MKI Capri close to the end of its production, the GLX remained the one to have. With the Ghia suffix not being introduced until the MKII, the GLX rolled up the pinnacle of MKI luxury and performance in one desirable package. ‘ROY519L’ was first registered in April 1973 and has been subject to an £18,000 plus full restoration in current ownership. The current owner acquired ‘ROY519L’ in August 2024 to become just the 8th keeper to date. The owner prior to this owned ‘ROY519L’ for just under 38 years. For much of that period this GLX was stored, unused in a barn. The diligent restoration has resulted in a 1973 Capri that predominantly features new parts and fittings throughout. Paperwork is limited to just the V5 Registration Document. This classifies ‘ROY519L’ as an Historic Vehicle and hence MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax.‘ROY519L’ represents probably one of the rarest MKI models. With its 3-litre V6 Cologne engine, unique quad headlamp nose treatment and all the luxury features 1973 had to offer, it was naturally a lower volume model. The passing of time has conspired to make this a very rare car indeed. The restoration encompassed a full, bare metal respray and associated body work. New RS four spoke alloys have been fitted, complete with new tyres and the window and door seals are all new. The interior has been treated to new seats and associated trims. The owner rates the bodywork, paintwork and interior as “good.”Mechanically ‘ROY519L’ has been completely overhauled. That desirable 3-litre V6 has been completely rebuilt, disks callipers and pads are all new as is the clutch, steering column and exhaust system. ‘ROY519L’ is fitted with the sought after four speed manual gearbox. Whilst ‘ROY519L’s’ recorded mileage of 63,585 can’t be warranted, the vendor feels it to be “credible.” The mechanical aspects of ‘ROY519L’ are rated as “excellent.”In summary:A rare and highly desirable 3-litre manual example in GLX trimSubject to a complete restoration at a cost of £18,500MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax based on Historic Vehicle status

• 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. Further treats on the car include Xenon headlamps, headlamp power wash, front and rear parking sensors, heated and cooled front seats with memory, electric recline and heated rear seats, rear electric screen blind and rear door blinds, electric steering, pedal and mirror adjust with memory, speed limit and cruise control, auto lights and wipers, picnic tables and double-glazed acoustic glass. Having recently sold a very similar car in excess of £28,000 with very similar mileage, this is sure to be a very popular example. Viewing is advised to appreciate the quality of a car which the vendor describes as a 10/10!

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

T100 54022The Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin reappeared in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war magdyno. Produced almost unchanged for the next three years, the Tiger gained Triumph's distinctive headlamp nacelle in 1949 when the range was restyled. An alloy cylinder head and barrel were adopted for 1951, while a swinging-arm frame and 8'-diameter front brake were fitted from 1954 onwards. Triumphs of the Edward Turner era are among the most stylish of post-war British motorcycles, and the Tiger 100 with its handsome all-alloy engine is one of the most charismatic and sought after of them all. This machine consists of a 6T Thunderbird (650cc) frame and a Tiger 100 all-alloy engine dating from 1954. The frame's Thunderbird origins are confirmed by the V5C and HPI printout listing the frame number, including prefix as '6T016367' and the photocopied V5 which list a frame number prefix of '6T'. An older though still presentable restoration, the Triumph was purchased locally from Rawtenstall in 1989 and would benefit from detailing.

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collection1958 BMW 494cc R50Registration no. JDZ 6289Frame no. 557732Engine no. 557732In the early 1950s, BMW concentrated on refining what were essentially pre-war designs, but by 1955 was ready with a brace of new machines: the R50 and R69. Of 494cc and 594cc respectively, the newcomers inherited the updated flat-twin engine introduced on the R51/3 a few years previously, but deployed this in all-new cycle parts, the most notable departures from preceding practice being the Earles-type leading-link front fork and swinging-arm rear suspension enclosing the driveshaft in the right leg - developments first seen on the works racers. Luxury tourers, the R50 and R69 sold to discerning enthusiasts to whom expense mattered little when set against the excellence of BMW engineering.An older restoration that would benefit from detailing, this R50 currently displays a total of 95,596 miles on the odometer. The machine comes with an V5C listing its date of first registration in the UK as 20 May 1983, expired Northern Ireland MoT certificate for 1990 and a photocopy VLCO registration document listing it as previously registered in Great Britain as '944 BKT' (first registered in February 1958). The HPI printout lists the date of first registration in the UK as 11th May 1977. Also on file is an auction purchase note (Lot 65A) listing various documents and items, none of which is now present.

1958 Norton 490cc ES2 'Special'Registration no. DSL 160Frame no. 78276 (see text)Engine no. 78276 N4This unique ES2 was built by previous owner Mr Ken Merrick, who was pictured with it in Old Bike Mart's report on the Donington Show in February 2007 (copy on file). Ken had built the Norton to his personal taste as a practical everyday motorcycle, incorporating numerous upgrades. These included a Weslake short-stroke steel crankshaft; Alfa big-end bearing; alloy cylinder barrel with BSA B50 piston; external oil filter; and an alloy cylinder head, gas-flowed and converted to unleaded compatibility. Other sensible modifications include belt primary drive; a Norton Commando clutch; and Super Blend bearings in the reconditioned gearbox. The electrics have been converted to 12-volt operation, featuring a Boyer Power Box regulator; halogen headlamp; and flashing indicators, while other notable features include a twin-leading-shoe front brake; alloy wheel rims; and a wideline Featherbed frame, restamped to match the engine number (the original frame would have been a pre-Featherbed type).The Norton was acquired by our vendor in 2014 and last taxed until 30th April 2015. Not used for some time, the machine last ran in May 2024 and will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road (it should be noted that it runs on Castrol R oil). The machine comes with sundry invoices; a current V5C document; expired MoTs and tax discs; NOC dating letter; specification sheet; and instruction manuals. The odometer reading at time of cataloguing/photography is 5,372 miles. It should be noted that the frame number appears to be a non-factory stamping and it is possible (but not verified) that the 'N4' frame number prefix is obscured by the fixing nut/washer.

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collection1964 Moto Guzzi Lodola 235 Gran TurismoRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. obscured by the saddleEngine no. R*72FF*Carlo Guzzi's final design, the 176cc Lodola (lark) arrived in 1956. The 175cc class had long been established as one of the most important in Italy, and the Lodola's arrival at last gave Moto Guzzi a foothold in the category. Powered by a single-overhead-camshaft engine inclined in a duplex loop frame, the Lodola combined adequate performance with excellent fuel economy and sound handling. A Sport version followed and then in 1959 the model was enlarged to 235cc, becoming the Lodola Gran Turismo. Pushrod valve operation was adopted for the heavily revised bigger engine, which produced 11bhp, an output good enough for a top speed a whisker over 70mph. Lodola production ceased in 1966.Presented in older restored condition, this Lodola 235 Gran Turismo is offered with a photocopied Italian registration document only, stating that it was manufactured 1964. The machine was previously registered as 'VI 82588' in Vicenza, Italy, and is believed to have been purchased from the April Stafford sale in 1990 (Lot 106A). There is also an HMRC import certificate on file listing the chassis or body number as 'Lodola M/C R40FF'. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over).

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collection1950 Moto Guzzi 500cc FalconeRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. *FBG42*Engine no. *FBG69*Carlo Guzzi's first prototype motorcycle of 1919 was unconventional in so far as its single-cylinder engine was installed horizontally, and by the end of the 1930s the 'flat single' had established itself as a Guzzi hallmark. Guzzi recommenced production post-WW2 with a range of updated pre-war designs, the 500cc touring GTV and sportier GTW soon gaining telescopic front forks and hydraulic rear suspension before being replaced for 1949 by the Astore, which would remain in production until 1953. By then the ultimate expression of Guzzi's classic, Vintage-style single had arrived: the legendary Falcone. Introduced in 1950, the Falcone took over the GTW's mantle of Guzzi's top sports bike, its tuneable engine being closely related to that of the Dondolino racer. Offered in Sport, Turismo and military/police specifications, the Falcone outlived all its fellows, the Turismo civilian version remaining in production until 1963 when it was replaced by the all-new Falcone Nuovo. This Falcone presents well but has some furring to the engine cases; no compression has been detected and the gears do not engage. The Guzzi is offered with post-restoration photographs only and no documents. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collectionc.1954 MV Agusta 175 Sport 'Disco Volante' (see text)Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 405932/35Engine no. 71231S• Older restoration • Requires recommissioningMeccanica Verghera (MV) introduced its first production four-strokes, the single-cylinder 175 CST and CSTL, at the Milan Show in 1952, the newcomers' advanced overhead-cam, unitary construction engine setting them apart from most of the opposition. A year later the 175 CS Sport arrived featuring an engine in a higher state of tune, increasing maximum power to 11bhp and top speed to 73mph. It was not just new sports roadster's cutting-edge technical specification that set the public's pulse racing but also its styling, for the model featured a sculpted fuel tank, almost circular when viewed from above, that soon gained it the popular sobriquet 'Disco Volante' (Flying Saucer). The ultimate development of the line arrived in 1955 in the shape of the 175 Supersport (CSS), which came with 18bhp on tap and a top speed of around 85mph. Not surprisingly, the 175 Disco Volante was soon MV's best seller. Production of these highly successful models continued until 1958. First registered on 5th November 1954, this restored MV 175, despite having the distinctive Disco Volante fuel tank, may well be one of the lesser models. The accompanying photocopy of the 1972 Italian libretto describes the machine as a '175 Sport', which the single 'S' (rather than 'SS') engine number suffix would appear to confirm. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over).

Ex-John 'Bob' Campbell Lowe1927 Sunbeam 498cc Model 90Registration no. YR 8297Frame no. D2010Engine no. N 1011•Known ownership history from new•Purchased for use in long-distance trials•Many factory-fitted special features•Well known in Sunbeam Club circles•Exceptionally comprehensive history file (perusal essential)A 1927 model first registered on 3rd December 1926 to John Marston Ltd, this quite remarkable Sunbeam Model 90 was built to special order for John 'Bob' Campbell Lowe for use in the popular long-distance trials of the period. The original invoice from John Marston Ltd is on file, as is the purchase invoice for the 1923 Sunbeam 3½hp he part exchange with Model 90. The 1923 '3½' had been used extensively in competition, and the wonderful scrapbook on file largely covers his career with that machine. The total cost was £83 18s, taking into account the £50 trade in for the 3½hp. Bob Lowe competed in numerous trials - including several London-Edinburgh events - of which the 1928 trial is documented on file with press photographs. The history file is quite extraordinary in its scope; in fact, Bonhams has never seen another one like it. While we cannot state that they are all present, there is a quantity of original route cards and paperwork in the file, all carefully preserved and looking as if they came off the bike yesterday. The original buff logbook is there too. Because of its intended trials use, the Model 90 was specified from new with some slightly more 'practical' features such as the lighting set, full chain guard, low-ratio sidecar gearing, rear carrier, fully valanced front mudguard: all features not commonly fitted to the 'standard' and more sporting Model 90 of 1927. The following special features were noted:MagdynoChain case(s)CarrierTwist gripGhost silencersSpecial pipesBonniksen speedometerIn February 1927 the exhaust pipes were returned to the works complete with lead patterns to be remade to Bob Lowe's upswept design. These are still on the machine. It would appear that Bob Lowe finished competing on the Sunbeam in 1933 (there is an invoice on file for an engine overhaul in April 1933) in favour of more modern machinery, mainly Royal Enfields. It was recommissioned for and ridden on the 50th Anniversary London-Edinburgh Trial in 1954 (there is a 1954 tax disc on the machine and a 1954 insurance document on file). Bob Lowe also made an appearance in the 1962 Lands End Trial but on a more modern machine: a brand new Royal Enfield Crusader.Bob Lowe passed away in 1968 and his widow Doris - also a former motorcycle competition rider and a former Vice-President of the Auto-Cycle Union - kept the Sunbeam before entrusting it in 1975 to VMCC member and well known trials rider Bill Price of Luton, who partially restored the machine, becoming its registered keeper. 'YR 8297' was seen regularly on VMCC Chiltern Section events and the Banbury Run, and was displayed on the VMCC stand at the 1979 Earls Court show. When Bill Price died, Mrs Lowe continued to permit enthusiasts the occasional ride (including Baz Stapples of the Sunbeam Motorcycle Club). It would seem that the '90' remained in her possession until 1997 when it was acquired by John E Davis. Mr Davis would seem to have completed some more restoration work, the forks being overhauled by Percival Bros & Webb in 1989. Mr Alan Spindler completed the restoration work after he acquired the Sunbeam in May 2000. Within a few years he found that he was no longer riding the machine and sold it via Verralls in February 2006 to its late owner, Chris Pile, a well known Sussex VMCC member.The original saddle is with the machine, the one fitted (an Eckie Spring saddle) having been recovered in recent times, no doubt for comfort's sake. The original headlamp too is with the machine, which still has the original magdyno.The aforementioned file also contains old/current V5C documents, and old V5, and old MoTs. Also included are a selection of trophies and awards from Lowe's career, the earliest dating from 1921. These include the 1927 High Speed Trial, 1927 London-Lands End, and – importantly - the 1927 London-Edinburgh Gold Medal. Also, the Sunbeam MCC 1927 President's Cup and Sunbeam MCC 1927 Yeovil Team Captain's Cup. Articles on file include one from the October 1977 Motor Cycle: 'Was this the first Enduro machine?'; November 1985 The Classic MotorCycle: 'The 'Beam with the Upswepts' by Bob Currie; and 'The Way it Was - Pete Plummer rides a 1926 Sunbeam Model 90'.Of the 24 1927 Model 90s known to the MSC&R (and 24 1928 Model 90s), this one is the second earliest 'Bullnose' recorded in the Marston Sunbeam Register. An unmissable opportunity for the Sunbeam enthusiast.

1952 Wolseley 6/80 Saloon. reg. no. MXH 432, chassis no. 418/15688, a delightfully original car with approx. 63,000 miles from new. If you appreciate originality, then this rare example is a true delight. The vendor, who is a very knowledgeable enthusiast for the Marque, purchased it in 1997 and has regularly maintained it to a very high level. The mileage of approx. 63,000 miles can be confirmed, although the original Speedo was replaced at approximately. 33,000 miles (still with the car) the replacement now displaying approx. 30,000 miles. Unusually approx 90 % of the original cellulose paint is still present and in very presentable lustrous order (one front wing having been replaced many years ago). The fawn hide upholstery, which is believed to be a special order, is totally original, as are the carpets (drivers very worn) and headlining. The interior woodwork still retains its original polish and the whole feel is that of a lovingly preserved and lightly driven car. As you would expect from such a meticulously maintained car it drives very well and has a written service record supporting the mileage. It has many period extras from new including a Watford Weathershields tinted windscreen visor, period, headlamp and wing mirror "eyebrow" shields, Shell exhaust finisher, set of "Comfy Car" faux ocelot print tailored seat covers, original "Ace" number plates and wheel trims. It is supplied with its original keys, a history file including original buff log book, current V5, two handwritten service schedules, original handbook, service manual and related ephemera. It is also supplied with some hard-to-come-by spares, including new clutch, brake shoes, and a used master cylinder. A wonderful time warp: this car is virtually as it left the factory 73 years ago and has never been welded or restored, just lovingly maintained with working components replaced or overhauled as required and recorded. A rare opportunity. (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT).
Registration No: T409 TGC Chassis No: SCCJA111XXHC37459 MOT: T.B.ARecently subject to extensive recommissioning works and a professional detail after a long period of storageTwo former keepers with the current keeper since 2005Finished in Lotus Racing Green Metallic with Black upholsteryDue to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the sale following a period of inactivityIntroduced at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Lotus Elise was a driver’s car par excellence. A paragon of lightness, agility and responsiveness, the newcomer utilised a bonded extruded aluminium chassis clad with fibreglass body panels. Mid-mounted and allied to five-speed manual transmission, its 1.8 litre K-Series engine produced a modest 118bhp and 122lbft of torque. However, with a kerb weight of just 725kg the two-seater was capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and over 120mph. Able to glide over a broken British B-road in typical Lotus fashion, the Elise did without power steering, ABS or traction control and was all the better for it.A higher powered version of the model known as the 111S was introduced in 1999. Its extra urge was supplied by the VVC (Variable Valve Control) version of the K Series engine, which endowed the Lotus with an additional 25bhp. Related changes included a closer ratio gearbox, lower final drive ratio, cross-drilled brakes, rear spoiler, six-spoke alloy wheels, headlamp covers, ‘chipcutter’ front grille, additional seat padding and alloy window winders.Supplied by HR Owen of London and registered on the 13th August 1999, this rare Elise Series 1 '111S' was specified in the attractive colour scheme of Lotus Racing Green Metallic over a Black interior and supplied with a now very rare luggage rack, matching hardtop and quick release steering wheel. Purchased by a Mr Quayle of Wimbledon, South West London initially, the Lotus was kept by him for only three years (and serviced by HR Owen throughout this period) before passing to the second registered keeper based in Cambridgeshire. The second owner kept on top of servicing and a number of bills remain on file from Lotus specialists GST Performance for his period of ownership. The third and current keeper acquired the two-seater in November 2005 and kept it well maintained until it was put into dry storage in 2013 when he had children, so a family car took the mantle of being the daily driver. It was before this period of storage that the little Green Lotus was treated to some tasteful performance upgrades which include a full Super Sprint exhaust system, larger throttle body and Typhoon air intake, which, with a re-map has significantly improved power output, however, the stock parts are supplied with the sale if this is preferred.The vendor acquired 'T409 TGC' from the current registered keeper some months ago as a project to recommission and has mechanically overhauled the car by performing a full service including cambelt & head gasket, fitting new EBC brake pads and upgraded brake lines, replacing the fuel pump and filter, the fitment of new semi-slick tyres and work to the gear linkages with the fitment of new Powerflex bushes to improve action. The original Bilstein shock absorbers were found to be in good order, however, a replacement pair of rears are included in the sale. The current displayed mileage is a mere 78,517 miles on the odometer (though this will increase as it will be driven to sale).Now offered for sale and described by the seller as being in 'very good condition' all round, we were pleased to see that this Elise presents as a particularly original example that has had minimal paintwork to improve it over the years (although some small stone chips remain) and with no obvious signs of bodyshell deterioration. A good history file is presented with the car, which includes the original book pack and a CD-Rom workshop manual, evidence of previous servicing work, old MOTs and UK V5C. The vendor expects to have a new MOT applied as part of the sale. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430
Registration No: 1688 D Chassis No: AM107.1108 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to have been registered new in Switzerland before being resident in Italy until 2006Subject to a photo documented engine overhaul, which was completed at 60,100kms in 2007Subject to a cosmetic overhaul in 2020Offered with extensive history file including original Maserati documentationMatching numbers example with good provenancePlease Note: The photos were taken at short notice and before a planned valet had taken place. As such, the vendor does not believe they are an accurate representation of the Maserati's condition. It will be re-photographed at the venue.Introduced at the November 1963 Turin Salon, the Maserati Quattroporte was arguably the world's first 'super saloon'. A bold move on the part of the Casa del Tridente-owning Orsi family, the newcomer was part high-performance GT and part luxury limousine. Taking inspiration from the Maserati 5000GT he had penned for Prince Karim Aga Khan in 1961, Pietro Frua imbued the handsome Quattroporte with a low belt line, slim-pillared glasshouse and neatly defined yet spacious boot. Based around a unique sheet steel box-section chassis equipped with independent front suspension, a de Dion rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the four- / five-seater was powered by a race-bred 4136cc 'quad-cam' V8 engine allied to either five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. Credited with developing some 260bhp and 267lbft, the Maserati was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in around 8 seconds and over 140mph (depending upon the final drive ratio chosen). After the first few cars had been made, Quattroporte production was transferred from Carrozzeria Frua to Carrozzeria Vignale (though, Maggiora of Turin was responsible for fabricating the bodywork). Arriving in 1966, the updated Series II version (or Tipo 107A as it was known by the factory) sported a new quad-headlamp visage and revamped interior complete with lustrous wood cappings, electric windows and standard fit air-conditioning. While, under the skin a revised leaf-sprung Salisbury back axle resulted in a quieter, smoother ride. Stylish, fast and exclusive, the big Maser was driven by the likes of Marcello Mastroianni, Prince Rainier of Monaco and Conte Volpi di Misurata. Manufactured during October 1966, chassis AM107.1108 is an early Series II car that was specified with the desirable five-speed ZF manual gearbox. Finished in the stunning combination of Beige Mirabello Metallic matched to Marrone Connolly leather upholstery, it is thought to have been supplied new to Switzerland. Known to have been resident in Milan by February 1972 and to have relocated to Modena eight years later, the Maserati reputedly had three keepers prior to being acquired, and imported to the UK, by its previous owner during 2006. Treated to a thorough engine overhaul not long afterwards at an indicated 60,100km, the V8 was fitted with new piston rings, bearing shells and timing chains as well as having attention paid to its oil pump and cylinder head. Gaining a new Kevlar clutch and refaced flywheel at the same time (with the associated machining work being done by Crosthwaite and Gardiner), the four-seater also had its carburettors adjusted. Well maintained thereafter, the Quattroporte was invited by Maserati UK to form part of its stand at the 2011 Goodwood Revival Earls Court Motor Show re-enactment. The front suspension and steering were refurbished in 2018 and the car repainted in its original hue during 2020. Benefiting from a replacement Marelli distributor in 2023, that same year saw the four-seater cosmetically enhanced still further with sundry trim and glass pieces. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, it is rated by the vendor as being in ‘very good overall’ condition. Pleasingly retaining its original, and well preserved, upholstery, the Quattroporte now shows some 76,000km to its odometer. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original owners’ handbook, Maserati leather wallet, numerous receipts, engine refurbishment image CD and copies of the Italian registration documents etc For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226
Registration No: F475 JUE Chassis No: WBAEE320400760452 MOT: September 20251 of just 524 RHD examples madeSignificantly improved since entering the current ownership in 2019 (glass out respray, cylinder head overhaul, refurbished seats etc)Among the 1980s' greatest Coupes Successor to the race proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high-performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse the model boasted real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Created by BMW's Motorsport Division, the flagship M635CSi debuted at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sharing its 3453cc DOHC powerplant with the mighty M1 supercar, it also benefited from a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox, limited slip differential, improved suspension and heavy-duty disc brakes. With some 286bhp and 262lbft on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 158mph. Only in production for six years, a mere 5,855 are thought to have been made (with RHD assembly supposedly accounting for just 524 cars). Finished in Diamond Black metallic with Silver Nappa leather upholstery, this particular example boasts an electric sunroof, correct 3-spoke steering wheel, period perfect Blaupunkt Bologna radio cassette player, heated front seats, electric windows, air-conditioning and headlamp wash-wipe. First registered on November 1st 1988, the BMW entered the current (sixth) ownership thirty-one years later. Although, three of its previous keepers are understood to have been the same person at different companies / addresses. An engineer by profession, the seller has treated the M635CSi to a glass out respray (with a new front wing and BMW nosecone), refurbished alloys, new tyres, rejuvenated seats and new shock absorbers (x4). The cylinder head has been overhauled with a new timing chain, valves and valve springs etc, while a recent service encompassed new brake pads, a new radiator, an air-conditioning radiator, viscous fan coupling, rear anti-roll bar links, front anti-roll bar bushes, front track rods and bottom arms, plug leads, ignition coil, oils and fluids and a new battery. The Coupe has also been ceramic coated and had its underside and cavities protected with Dinitrol (a certificate on file). Entered from a private collection and kept garaged when not in use, ‘F475 JUE’ ran well during our recent photography session. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, replacement service book, brochure and sundry other paperwork.

Registration No: 929 WML Chassis No: B321BR MOT: November 2025Lavishly maintained whilst in the ownership of a preeminent trauma surgeon for whom reliability was paramount (including the fitment of a factory exchange engine less than 10,000 miles ago)Significantly improved since last being retailed by renowned dealer Frank Dale & Stepsons for £51,000Detailed history file with service records dating back to 1965Worthy of close inspectionLaunched in 1959, the Bentley S2 and its sister car the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II were seemingly visually interchangeable with the outgoing S1 and Cloud I models. Although, underpinned by the same chassis layout as their predecessors (complete with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and all-round, servo-assisted drum brakes), the duo boasted an all-new powerplant. Rolls-Royce's first V8 engine since the Edwardian 30HP 'Legalimit', the 6230cc unit gave notable improvements in both power and flexibility. Suddenly, these wonderfully elegant if un-aerodynamic saloons were capable of close to 120mph via their four-speed automatic gearboxes. A strong sales success, especially in the USA, the Cloud II's introduction led David Ogilvy's advertising agency to produce the classic tag line "At 60 mph the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock".According to its accompanying RREC copy build records, chassis B321BR was completed with various ‘special features’ including: a steering wheel mounted headlamp dipping switch, B-post marker lights and electric windows. Supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd to the prosperous textile merchant Herbert Kreuzer Esq on April 28th 1960, the Bentley initially carried his personalised number plate ‘TYE 11’. Registered to the London SW1 address of E.L. Windsor Esq four years later, the S2 subsequently belonged to B.D. Ely Esq and Leslie Wheeler Esq before being bought by the eminent orthopaedic and trauma surgeon Mr John Miles Kingsmill-Moore from Sunningdale Motors of Ascot on December 9th 1992. Initially entrusting the saloon’s maintenance to Derek Jarman, Mr Kingsmill-Moore then used marque specialist Royce Service & Engineering to ensure that the chances of him breaking down en route to an operating theatre were as minimal as possible. To this end the power steering and suspension were overhauled, the brakes rejuvenated, a replacement 'crate' engine obtained directly from the Crewe factory and the heater matrix renewed etc. Substantially improved since it was last retailed by the renowned dealer Frank Dale & Stepsons to a hedge fund manager for £51,000 in July 2021, chassis B321SR now rides on Avon tyres all round and has had its original Tan leather upholstery and Wilton carpets deep cleaned. Indeed, the hides have been so successfully rejuvenated by the Connolly Bros trained and time served craftsmen at Leathercare that they almost look to have been replaced. Having covered a mere 10,000 miles or so on its second factory powerplant (the associated cost of which totalled £14,194.72) and had far more spent on it than most surviving S2s, this delightful Bentley is worthy of close inspection as its detailed, chronological history file which lists maintenance as far back as 1965! A special car. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration – H833 HNO Chassis No. – WF0AXXGBBALU58061 M.O.T. – NO Odometer – 108,814 With the term “barn find” being bandied about with abandon nowadays, we are pleased to confirm that ‘H833 HNO’ genuinely deserves that desirable title. As part of a recently discovered horde of Fords this XR4x4i has been in barn storage for at least 15 years if not longer and in current ownership for over 20 years. Remarkable! Offered here with no reserve, this true survivor car represents an entirely original example of the 1990 Sierra model range. With such a long period off the road, ‘H833 HNO’ will clearly require a thorough recommissioning. A truly rare opportunity to acquire such an iconic Ford with such a remarkable back story. It seems a frighteningly long time since the Sierra appeared to a less than enthusiastic reception. It was a bold and modern design compared to the boxy Cortina and the buying public took a while to acclimatise. When the three door XR4i arrived with its double winged rear spoiler, it struggled against the more established 2.8-litre Capri with which it shared an engine. In 1985, the XR4x4i appeared and inherited the more practical and, by now, more accepted saloon body. With a sophisticated viscous coupled four wheel drive system and a now enlarged 2.9-litre version of the V6 Cologne engine, the XR4x4i finally came of age and proved much desired and popular. The XR4x4i proved to be rapid, practical and easy to maintain transport. Essentially an Audi Quattro at a substantial saving. ‘H833 HNO’ presents in Ford Radiant Red and looks to be in surprisingly good order, if in need of a good clean. All those signature XR attributes are evident including the headlamp wipers, body coloured bumpers, boot lid spoiler and original RS style lattice alloy wheels. Given this Sierra entering a barn shaped time warp 15 to 20 years ago, it is thought to remain in a highly original condition, with that reportedly original miniscule mileage. Incredible. In summary: · A miniscule mileage barn find example of the most popular saloon bodied XR4x4. · Remaining in a highly original condition throughout. · Presented in a vibrant and popular Ford livery.
Make & Model:Mercedes, 190E Date of Reg:G126BDP Colour:Blue cc:2599 MoT:2025-06-16 Fuel Type:Petrol Mileage:233200 Transmission:automatic Summary:This Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6 Auto is in rare 2.6-litre six-cylinder form, giving 166bhp. It is in a high-spec with additional leather upholstery, electric seats, air conditioning (which is working), illuminated vanity mirrors, headlamp washers and wider 15-hole alloy wheels with Sportline-spec 205/55 tyres. Two registered keepers are recorded on the V5C (with the original owner keeping it for 21 years and 190,000 miles) and the odometer now shows 233,200 miles. The car was registered in February 1990 and the MoT is valid through to June 2025. The vendor tells us that the car runs and drives well and has been used for longer trips around the UK (including on business) as well as trips to car shows. There is an occasional ‘lazy tappet’ tick at start-up, which goes away when the engine is warm. He further tells us that the car has been very reliable over the last 40,000 miles/3.5 years. Recent work has included renewed suspension arms, bushes and dampers, rebuilt gearbox, new cooling system, new battery and alternator, new air conditioning compressor, dryer and condenser, new exhaust box, new engine mounts, new steering pump, new heater blower, new fuel injectors and electro-hydraulic actuator, two new electric window regulators, re-upholstered front seat and refurbished wheels. The vendor has spent around £14,000 in the last 3.5 years to bring the car up to its current condition. Paperwork includes the V5C and a copy of the previous one plus invoices, MoT certificates and the book pack with owner's manual, UK and European dealership directories and the service book with entries up to 163,202 miles in August 2012 (although there are invoices for servicing beyond this). There's also two sets of keys plus the original tools and alloy spare wheel.
