Registration – J38411Chassis No. – TBCM.O.T. – ExpiredOdometer – 35,000‘J38411’ is a rarely seen example of the XJ40 saloon in optimum Daimler Double Six (factory code XJ81) form and featuring the 6-litre version of the sublime Jaguar V12 engine. Factory records suggest only around 200 in this specification left Browns Lane before the XJ40 range was superseded by the X300. ‘J38411’ is a factory right hand drive, UK specification model currently registered in Jersey. It also appears that this Double Six had an official Jaguar connection judging by the “JLR” property sticker in the door jamb complete with an asset register number. This high specification and rare Daimler is offered here with NO RESERVE and comes from the large collection of an individual enthusiast.The XJ40 range from which ‘J38411’ hails was the successor to the original XJ model produced in three series over 18 years. Considered as the last true Jaguar saloon before Ford took ownership, the XJ40 was widely lauded and applauded at its launch in 1986. ‘J38411’ represents a very rare XJ81, range topping model which was only built for a single model year. ‘J38411’ presents in the popular Brooklands Green hue and exhibits the fluted radiator cowl and boot finisher so closely associated with the Daimler marque. The external appearance remains desirably original, right down to the 15-inch, turbine style alloy wheels and full length gold coachline. The luxurious cabin of ‘J38411’is exquisitely finished in Ivory leather, deeply varnished, inlaid wood veneer, woollen carpets and deep pile lambswool rugs. Originality in here is also excellent and the level of equipment was considered market leading for 1994. Refinements include electrically adjustable, heated front seats with memory settings, rear privacy blinds and veneered picnic tables, air conditioning and original Daimler branded head unit.The mechanical specification of the Double Six is no less impressive with this car featuring the enlarged 6-litre version of the famed Jaguar V12 engine. This was originally rated at over 300bhp and mated to a 4-speed, GM 4L80-E automatic transmission. Even the under bonnet presentation appears excellent and entirely original making this a most desirable example of the innovative XJ40 saloon.In summary:One of just over 200 or so originally made over just one yearFitted with the 6-litre version of the sublime Jaguar V12 engineBoasting a popular and well presented livery throughoutSadly non-runner
Registration – T96 YHOChassis No. – WV1ZZZ9UZXT002633M.O.T. – July 2025Odometer – 124,500This collectable 1999 Volkswagen Caddy, offered at No Reserve, is an enthusiast-owned model that is described as a “nice example” with engine, transmission, electric and interior all stated as being in ‘good’ condition. The green body is complemented by a grey cloth interior, and it uses a 1.9-litre diesel engine – this has been fitted with new heater plugs so it “starts instantly and runs smooth”. The owner has serviced it regularly and has lots of paperwork to back this up. They fitted four new tyres last year, and carried out welding and repairs to the rear haulage area “to a very high standard to bring it back to its best”.‘T96YHO’ was first registered in July 1999 and has had just two previous keepers. The fist owned it until 2004, with the second owning it until June 2015, when the current keeper acquired it. It has an odometer reading 124,500 miles, with HPI records showing this has built only gradually during the current keeper’s stewardship.The Volkswagen Type 9U Caddy was introduced in 1996, to complement the 9K. It was the entry-level model, derived from the Skoda Felicia Utility (whereas the 9K was derived from the Seat Ibiza). It used either 1.6-litre petrol or 1.9-litre diesel engines, and combined a 530kg payload with a 2.0 square metre loading area. It was built in the Czech Republic and marketed as the entry-level pick-up in the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles line-up. Today, as with many retro VWs, it has something of a cult following amongst enthusiasts.In summary:No Reserve 1999 Volkswagen CaddyEnthusiast-owned model described as a “nice example”Just two previous keepers
Registration – S300 DBYChassis No. – GDB-034210M.O.T. – May 2025Odometer – 167,408KM (104,022M)Representing the second facelifted model of the second generation Impreza, or “Hawkeye” version, ‘S300DBY’ is a Japanese domestic market supplied and specified Impreza WRX STi from 2005. ‘S300DBY’ was imported to the UK in 2019 and is in the ownership of its fourth UK keeper to date. ‘S300DBY’ is currently recording 167,408 kilometres (104,022 miles) covered and is reported to be mechanically standard throughout. ‘S300DBY’ is a well-cared for example having benefitted from two cambelt replacements (the last around 4,000 miles ago) and a ceramic coating with a 5 year guarantee. 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 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. The vendor rates the bodywork, paintwork and interior as “good.”In summary:A JDM specification car imported to the UK in 2019Presenting in a highly original condition with unmodified mechanicalsComplete with an appealing marque specific registration number
Registration – EM 1868Chassis No. – 3909M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 36,733Alvis were formed shortly after the Great War in Coventry. Their first car was the 10/30 built around an advanced engine with aluminium pistons and forced lubrication. The 12/50 model was launched for 1924 with it utilising an improved version of its predecessor’s engine. ‘EM 1868’ is a fine example of this model from just its second year of production and is a TE model with a stronger chassis with the enlarged 1645cc engine. ‘EM 1868’ has reportedly been the subject of an 11-year, no expense spared restoration. Presented here in an interesting three door, full convertible Sports Tourer trim, ‘EM 1868’ is a very rare car indeed in a superb overall condition. In its current ownership since September 2022, ‘EM 1868’ is guided at a level significantly less was spent during its diligent and extended restoration. A superb and fleeting ownership opportunity offered from the large collection of an individual enthusiast.The enlarged 1645cc four cylinder petrol engine was the key to the 12/50’s desirability. As all 12/50s were, ‘EM 1868’ is fitted with a four speed, non-synchromesh gearbox and is right hand drive. The restoration commenced in around 2011 under the stewardship of the owner before last. The chassis was taken back to the Alvis Phosphate coat and then given a further six coats of enamel, two coats of primer, undercoat and topcoats. The engine was rebuilt and converted to run on unleaded, before the timber frame was restored by Alwyn Lee. This schedule of works was reported to cost in the region of £15,000. The previous owner acquired ‘EM 1868’ at around this stage and went on to finish the restoration to include bodywork, interior trim and further recommissioning of the engine. This work was completed shortly before the current vendor acquired it in 2022.‘EM 1868’s’ remarkable Sports Touring body is finished in Dove Grey with a new full length hood and associated weatherproofing gear. The unusual three door configuration looks stunning with its long running boards and charmingly curved wings front and back. The interior is fully retrimmed in striking scarlet leather upholstery. The mechanical facets of ‘EM 1868’ are rated as “average” with the bodywork, paintwork and interior as “excellent.”In summary:A beautifully restored example of a rare and desirable AlvisRestored to its current condition regardless of cost over an 11 year periodComplete with a photographic record of the restoration
Registration – WNE 837LChassis No. – YB57689DLM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 19,305Despite being over 50 years old, ‘WNE837L’ has known only four keepers to date. The first two accounted for the first 46 years of this Triumph’s life. The current owner acquired ‘WNE837L’ just two years ago. Today ‘WNE837L’ records just 19,305 miles on its odometer. This can’t be warranted but the vendor reports it is feasibly original based on ‘WNE837L’s’ condition and presentation. A high level of originality is noted, and much remedial work has been undertaken in current ownership. This includes five new tyres and a new battery. ‘WNE837L’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle based on age and so is zero rated for VED and MOT exempt. ‘WNE837L’ is being offered here with NO RESERVE.‘WNE837L’ is thought to present in it's original factory paintwork of Mineral Blue. This combines well with the deeply chromed radiator grill, bumpers and overriders and panel edging strips. The originality, as with the rest of the car, is most striking and the vendor notes there is a “little patina” to the exterior of ‘WNE837L.’ The design of the Triumph 1500 was the work of the celebrated Giovanni Michelotti who did a number of designs for the firm during the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. The interior is another time warp experience looking much as it would have done from new. Triumph’s place in the BMC firmament was as an upmarket offering so there is plenty of wood veneer, chromed fittings and deep carpets in evidence. The predominant shades are variations of blue with some black vinyl noted in places. The paintwork, bodywork and interior are all rated as “good.”‘WNE837L’ is fitted with the 1493cc version of the Standard SC engine and is fitted with a single SU carburettor in this application. This endowed the original with around 65bhp which proved plenty for a sub-1000kg car. Much work has been undertaken during current ownership to include new brake cylinders all round, a new old stock exhaust system, a refurbished fuel tank and a replacement clutch slave cylinder. Modern electronic ignition has also been fitted.In summary:· A highly original example of the breed with just four owners to date.· Much remedial work done in the current ownership so ready to enjoy.· MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax based on Historic Vehicle status.
Registration – NTF 136MChassis No. – KE231670M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 34,827‘NTF 136M’ is a Triumph GT6 from 1973 making it a MKIII version and the final iteration of the diminutive coupe. ‘NTF 136M’ has been the recipient of a number of upgrades, not least of which is an enlarged 2.5 litre version of the straight six engine that gave the GT its suffix. ‘NTF 136M’ was restored around 16 years ago but, in more recent times, has a good deal of work undertaken to result in the reportedly nicely running example that it is today. Hardened valve seats have been fitted to allow ‘NTF 136M’ to run on unleaded fuel. ‘NTF 136M’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle and so is MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax. Earlier MOT records show that less than 5,000 miles have been covered in the last 20 years or so. Being sold complete with a good level of accompanying paperwork.The Triumph GT6 was originally a Michelotti design based on the Spitfire. The extra weight associated with the handsome coupe styling, however, was too heavy for the original Spitfire’s 1100cc engine. The model was shelved. It was only after the racing Spitfires adopted the body for more aerodynamic advantage that the model was resurrected, this time with the 2-litre straight six engine from the Vitesse. ‘NTF 136M’ left the Coventry factory in a white livery but has enjoyed a colour change to black in the intervening years. A number of other upgrades seem to have been made including non-standard bumpers, bonnet side vents and aftermarket alloy wheels. The interior is finished in black cloth and retains a good level of originality retaining the original sporting cues. The vendor rates paintwork, bodywork and interior as “good.”As well as that enlarged engine and unleaded-friendly valve seats, plenty of recent mechanical attention has been lavished on ‘NTF 136M.’ This work includes the fitment of a new distributor, leads and plugs, carburettors rebuilt and balanced and a new manifold fitted. ‘NTF 136M’ features a four speed manual transmission with switchable overdrive. All mechanical facets of this GT6 are rated as “good.”In summary:· An impressive looking GT6 with a number of modifications· Compete with an enlarged 2.5-litre engine running on unleaded fuel· Comes with a good level of accompanying paperwork
Registration – J449 KNVChassis No. – WDB2010292F909602M.O.T. – ExpiredOdometer – 177,000‘J449 KNV’ is an original looking example of Mercedes-Benz’s first compact car in W201 form and 190E 2.6-litre specification. Mercedes-Benz’s W201 was the product of 8 years of development and £600M of investment in order to take the fight to the BMW 3 Series. This example dates from 1992 and has been enjoyed by six previous keepers. ‘J449 KNV’ is described as a “good runner” and is the bigger, more powerful 2.6-litre example. ‘J449 KNV’ comes complete with plenty of supporting paperwork but doesn’t current hold an MOT with its last one expiring in February 2024. ‘J449 KNV’ is offered here with NO RESERVE and, so, represents an enticing ownership opportunity.‘J449 KNV’ presents in Solid Grey complete with lighter, contrasting “Sacco” panels along each flank. The Mercedes-Benz 'gullideckel' or manhole cover alloy wheels are fitted as is a prominent rear boot spoiler. The interior was surprisingly spacious given the W201’s reduced form factor compared with anything else in the range. ‘J449 KNV’ benefits from the desirable full leather interior adding an extra level of prestige and luxury. A couple of minor imperfections are noted, to include a damaged front arm rest, some loose door cards and intermittently working window switches. The vendor rates the bodywork, paintwork and interior as “average.”‘J449 KNV’ is fitted with the desirable 2.6 litre, inline six cylinder engine M103 engine fitted with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. This was originally rated at around 160bhp and this power is fed to the rear wheels via the optional four speed automatic transmission.

The engine and electrics are rated as “average,” and the gearbox as “good.”In summary:A highly original example of the much admired W201 190E in 2.6 litre formCompete with plenty of supporting paperworkSpecified with the desirable full leather interior
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. Finished in the delightful colour combination of Camberwick Green with Red leather interior, this very low mileage Seven presents in unmarked condition. This is number 22 of 60 and was previously owned by Theo Paphitis of Dragons Den fame. It comes with a factory tonneau cover, together with full wet weather hood and screens. The 60th Anniversary model is a retro looking Caterham, based on a series Seven, this example is supplied with a V5C registration document, original keys and paperwork. Driving a Caterham Seven is a visceral experience. With its manual gearbox, precise steering, and unfiltered feedback, the car feels alive in the driver’s hands. Consigned by Stewart Banks.

In current ownership for 37 yearsManual gearboxMechanical recommissioning in August 2024The Jaguar E-Type was ten years old and in need of a new lease of life. History repeated itself when Jaguar debuted its robust V12 engine in a sportscar instead of the saloon for which it was designed. Despite its sportscar heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed the twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature and with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that 'all we expected to try was a new engine, but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine, but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sportscar'. This E-Type is presented in Azure Blue with a black interior and the all-important manual gearbox. The car is presented in smart useable condition with just some micro blistering on the bonnet and some corrosion beginning on the rear arches. It has recently been mechanically recommissioned at a cost of nearly £2,000 by Light Cars Action, who are highly regarding for their historic race car preparation and professional bodyshop. This work included a full refresh of the fuel system, cleaning the fuel tank, stripping down and refitting the clutch system with new parts and various other small jobs. The interior could very possibly be the original and wears a nice patina. Our vendor purchased this car in 1988 and has cherished it since however he has decided to offer it for sale as it isn’t getting the use it deserves, and a new owner will be best placed to bring the car up to the next level.

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

Powered by a Cosworth YB Turbo producing 250bhpGenuine MexicoHighly modified with many tasteful fast road upgradesThe Escort Mk. II Mexico was the successor to the original Mk. I Mexico, continuing Ford's tradition of offering a rally-inspired performance version of its popular Escort. Launched in 1975 and produced until 1978, the Mk. II Mexico retained the spirit of its predecessor but featured the updated styling and improved build quality of the second-generation Escort. Under the bonnet, the Mk. II Mexico was powered by the same trusty 1600cc Kent crossflow engine, producing around 84bhp. It wasn’t the fastest model in the range (the RS2000 took that title), but the Mexico was designed for durability, balance, and fun, making it a favourite for club-level motorsport and rallying. It had upgraded suspension, reinforced chassis components, and sportier interior and exterior details, including bold decals and unique badging.This, however is no normal Mexico. The car is understood to have been upgraded around 2003/2004 and we are told didn’t see much use after that. It was clearly built with fast road driving enjoyment in mind, the 1600cc Kent crossflow engine has been replaced by a much more ferocious Cosworth YB from a Sierra Cosworth, with an uprated Garrett turbocharger producing 250bhp.
