1967 Ford Lotus Cortina MK2 Series 1 saloon. reg. no. WTW 455F, an excellent older restoration with recent (2021) engine overhaul.The vendor, who is a very knowledgeable and capable car restorer, bought this Lotus Cotina in 2006 as a project. It hadn't run for 16 years and was in need of a total restoration. Systematically, he stripped the car down to the last nut and bolt and totally restored it over a 3 year period using all original parts where possible. The end result won him many prizes at classic car events with the underside of the car as polished and well finished as the top. In 2021 the engine was in need of attention, and owing to his advancing years, the owner instructed Steve Thomas Enterprises to overhaul it with Burton Power supplying many of the parts, totalling approximately £4000. Since the engine rebuild it has covered approximately 1188 miles and has bedded in nicely. The rest of the car has remained in excellent condition due to its pampered existence only showing some minor wear and tear which could easily be rectified. The overall appearance being that of a Lotus Cortina when it was nearly new. The underbonnet and underside are still probably better than when it left the factory, and is a joy to behold. It is supplied with a V5, old MOTs and a large history file of invoices and related ephemera. A lovely example which has been well maintained, and with the assurance of being an older restoration, there are no nasty surprises awaiting to appear, unlike some recent restorations. (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT).

1988 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Coupe. reg no. E812 MUW, family owned from new, (5 registered keepers) and approx. 93,254 miles from new with history.This attractive Mercedes Coupe was purchased new by the vendor's father in 1988. He had it finished in a very desirable specification of dark blue with cream hide upholstery. He had the car well maintained by Mercedes' main agents and in later years used Derek Wells Mercedes Specialists in Needham Market, Suffolk. In more recent years, the car was laid up, and after his death, his daughter instructed Derek Wells to recommission it for her personal use. Between 2019-2022, there are various invoices for this work from Derek Wells totalling approximately £16,000, and from completion of the work, an extra 10,000 miles has been covered during her ownership. In recent months, the vendor's beloved Mercedes has been in dry storage, and reluctantly owing to her emigrating in the near future, she has decided to sell it. The overall condition is very good, and it is running and driving, although there is scope for further improvement. In particular to the chrome work and refinishing of the wheels. It is rare to find a 500 SEC with relatively low miles and only two owners, and particularly one which has had so much money lavished upon it and with such a good provenance. It is supplied with V5, handbook, stamped service book, various invoices and related ephemera. (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT). Please see condition report for further information: Since the printed catalogue was published we have obtained the full documentation for the car which was held by the owner, the V5 is showing 4 former keepers (5 owners total). The owner has provided us with the following explanation.“My father was involved in a lengthy litigation regarding his previous business. The vehicle was signed over to an Insolvency Company, it was then popped back under my father, it then reverted to the Insolvency Company, the matter was then resolved and put back under us. In all of that time, the vehicle remained with my father. “Therefore whilst the car has been in her family from new it is not a 2 owner car as previously stated.In addition we can confirm the following entries in the service book…17/4/89- 5,414 miles10/7/90- 8,711 miles 21/6/91- 17,735 miles30/6/93- 22,150 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)24/3/94- 30,545 miles 26/8/94- 38,672 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)23/11/94- 42,161 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)16/3/95- 47,080 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)8/9/95- 55,528 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)23/1/96- 60,858 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)28/5/96- 65,257 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)8/5/97- 66,292 miles8/5/98- 73,269 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading)28/8/07- 82,056 miles (although this is recorded under the oil viscosity heading) The current mileage is also confirmed by the MOT history of the car.

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).

1933 Alvis Firefly sports saloon coachwork by Cross & Ellis. reg. no. VK 8185 (see text), chassis No. 10652, engine no. 10652. Offered by Direction of Executors this attractive sporting Alvis saloon has been in storage in recent years and will require full restoration. It appears basically sound and mostly complete.

The Firefly Registrar from the Alvis Club has kindly confirmed that it was delivered from the factory to Swallow, Milburn & Co. Newcastle in 1932 and that the car was well known to him as it had belonged to a friend and that he had even worked on it in the 1970s.(email on file). (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT).We have engaged the starting handle and the engine will turn over by hand, it appears the engine also has some compression.

There are also additional images of the chassis available to view online. The chassis itself has surface rust but on inspection would appear to be solid, with evidence of previous waxoil application.The car is sold as a project requiring complete restoration. We strongly recommend viewing the car and we are happy to have a conversation over the phone or conduct a walk round video via WhatsApp for any interested parties. Please contact us on 01206 754754 to discuss further.

1929 Singer Junior 4-seater saloon, reg. no. VX 1239. 848cc engine, 3-speed gearbox. The vendor's husband describes the car as follows:"An older restoration but drives perfectly on the road. Driven and seriously campaigned by the same owners for 57 years. Two gearboxes, a petrol tank and radiator to go with the car.The Singer was bought from a scrapyard in Stanway, Essex, by local resident and vintage motoring enthusiast, Harry Booth, sixty-four years ago. It was in reasonable working condition and Harry’s daughter, Merriel, aged sixteen, decided it would be an ideal car in which to learn to drive. The extensive yard in front of “The Old Cottage Paint Shop”, Harry’s business in London Road, Stanway at the time, proved ideal for Merriel to practice gear-changes and become familiar with the controls of an elderly car, its accelerator between the clutch and the brake. But on returning from work one afternoon, she discovered that her Dad had sold the Singer to a couple from Great Maplestead who had answered an advertisement for a 1930s Sunbeam which he had for sale in Exchange and Mart. David and Sylvia Rouse were keen vintagents but decided that the Sunbeam was not for them and asked Harry if he had anything else he might like to sell, whereupon he suggested the Singer. A deal was done, the princely sum of £5 changed hands and the car was driven back to Maplestead, but when David opened the door, a mouse jumped out. That was in the summer of 1962.Returning home from work that evening, Merriel was most disappointed to discover that the Singer had gone. Some thirty years later she came across the car at a rally and declared, “That’s my car!”, to a surprised David Rouse who initially doubted her story, but after being shown a photograph of Merriel sitting on the bonnet, doubted no longer.After driving it home and having renewed the magneto cap, David immediately began to use the Singer as everyday transport travelling to and from Marconi in Chelmsford, where he worked as Patents Officer, twenty miles each way for nine months after which he decided that a major overhaul of the car might be sensible. He and Sylvia subsequently used the car mainly for Vintage Sports Car Club events, covering more than 44,000 miles whilst competing in hill climbs, driving tests, navigational rallies and tours. They were adamant that the car should never be trailered and would drive frequently as far as Llandrindod Wells, for example, on a Friday afternoon averaging 30mph or so, in order to compete on the Saturday. David kept a detailed record of every journey, time taken, average speed, oil used, and petrol consumed; it makes fascinating reading. On one occasion, they had driven from Maplestead to Builth Wells when the magneto began to misfire and the decision was taken to, “return home whilst the engine was still running”, a distance of around 450 miles, almost non-stop.The Rouses owned a number of vintage and classic cars, competing seriously in all of them, but the Singer was one of their favourites which they kept for 57 years. When David died in 2017, Sylvia decided that the time had come to sell the collection, but two remained, a BSA that had been David’s first, and the Singer which, when Merriel asked whether or not it had been sold, Sylvia replied, “But it’s yours if you’d like it.”Merriel has been its custodian since 2019 but it is now time for a new owner and the Singer will be sold at auction, all proceeds going to St Helena Hospice, Colchester".It is supplied with a massive history file, including photographs, which is a joy to read. A truly loved old car. (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT).
