Registration No: DUC 515C Chassis No: B-9472259-H-ROFE MOT: ExemptFitted some years ago with the larger Ford 289ci (4737cc) V8 engine as fitted to MkII TigersSubject to around £10,000 of recent mechanical expenditure which has included extensive uprating of the drivetrain and electricsAn original UK delivered, right hand drive example complete with extensive history file and original green logbookFirst registered in 'Swinging 60s' London to a high end tailoring firmThe Sunbeam Tiger was conceived in the West Coast of the USA and inspired by the success of the AC Cobra - the result of inserting a small-block American V8 engine into the nose of the British AC Ace. Rootes American Motors Inc. saw the potential for performing a similar operation on the stylish four-cylinder Sunbeam Alpine. Preliminary research suggested that the engine used to produce the Cobra - Ford's 4.3-litre (260ci) 'Windsor' unit - would be the appropriate powerplant, and a prototype was commissioned from Carroll Shelby, the man behind the Cobra project, who would entrust famous GT40 racer Ken Miles with setting it all up. Unveiled at the April 1964 New York Motor Show, the resultant Tiger incorporated uprated steering, suspension and brake assemblies but retained the Alpine's basic layout and sheetmetal. With a quoted 164bhp/258lbft on tap, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in under eight seconds and 120mph. Later, the MkII Tiger was launched which would be fitted with the larger 4.7-litre (289ci) engine - which was sadly only available in Left Hand Drive format. Distinguishing itself on race tracks and rally stages alike, the model accounted for some 7,085 sales from 1964-1967.Initially registered to high-end tailors Jones, Chalk and Dawson Ltd of 6 Jackwell Street, London on March 1st 1965, chassis B-9472259-H-ROFE was transferred into the name of one of their directors, Ronald Clark, three years later. Changing hands several times during the 1970s, the Sunbeam was acquired by Ken Young of Byfleet, Surrey towards the decade’s end. The Tiger’s longest-term keeper (1978-2004), he oversaw two bodywork renovations in 1989 and 2002 (including a colour change from Mediterranean Blue to Guards Red). Sold on twice more before entering the current ownership in 2022, the two-seater accumulated numerous maintenance invoices over the years. Conscious that the original 260ci engine had been supplanted by a 289ci unit at some stage, the vendor decided to enhance the sportscar’s dynamics. To this end, he has overhauled the suspension and rear axle uprating them with a thicker front anti-roll bar and limited-slip differential respectively. He has also fettled the carburettor and cooling / ignition systems, not to mention uprating the rev counter and speedometer. Deeming the Sunbeam’s mechanical condition as good enough for him to ‘jump in and drive it anywhere’, the seller acknowledges that the bodywork and paintwork are ‘average to good’. A desirable ‘home market’ Tiger that has benefited from some £10,000 worth of expenditure over the last two years, ‘DUC 515C’ was still cut quite the dash on Carnaby Street!

Registration No: BS 8718 Chassis No: 6966 MOT: ExemptA well maintained example of the London to Brighton eligible 'Curved Dash' Model R with VCC Dating CertificatePreviously part of the esteemed Ward Brothers' CollectionSubject to recent works to the gearing belts and fitment of a Holley NH carburettor for better runningNamed after its distinctively shaped footboard, the 'Curved Dash' Oldsmobile was introduced in 1901. Featuring a water pump, trembler coil ignition and overhead valves, its advanced rear-mounted single-cylinder engine was allied to two-speed planetary transmission. Displacing some 1.6 litres (later 1.9 litres), the eager powerplant was reputed to develop 4½ horsepower at 500rpm and to emit one chug per telegraph pole. Designed to negotiate unmade roads, the Oldsmobile's sturdy yet lightweight chassis featured so-called 'Concorde' leaf springs and tiller steering. While the two brakes provided acted on the transmission and differential respectively. Over 11,000 of the three Curved Dash models ('R', '6C' and 'B') were completed before production ceased in 1907, making it the first volume produced American automobile. Reputedly supplied new to a New York City resident in 1902, chassis 6966 remained Stateside until being imported to the UK by renowned Veteran car collectors Daniel and Toby Ward one hundred and seventeen years later. Part of the brothers’ private museum until entering the current ownership via the agency of specialist dealer Tom Parrott earlier in 2024, the Oldsmobile was acquired to allow other members of the seller’s family to participate in the London to Brighton Run. To this end, he fettled the gear cones and trembler coil ignition as well as installing a new Holley NH carburettor and aluminium fuel tank. DVLA registered as ‘BS 8718’ and dated by the Veteran Car Club (under reference number 4276/2021), it is only a change of heart on the part of its would-be crew that prompts the Curved Dash’s sale. Repainted many years ago, the two-seater now exhibits a pleasing patina and is said to run ‘very well indeed’. The London to Brighton Run remains among the world’s most prestigious motoring events and few entries are more affordable than one of Ransom Eli Olds’ innovative runabouts. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, import paperwork and VCC Dating Certificate. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: ARH 90X Chassis No: WF0BXXGCABCY39773 MOT: July 2025Believed to be 1 of just 168 UK registered XR3s left on the road todaySupplied with rare and desirable 5 speed manual transmissionOffered with a collection of invoicesFinished in attractive Titan BlueTo compete with Volkswagen's Golf GTI, a hot hatch version of the MkIII Escort was developed – the XR3. Initially, this featured a tuned version of the 1.6L CVH engine fitted with a twin-choke Weber carburettor, uprated suspension and numerous cosmetic alterations. It lacked a five-speed transmission and fuel injection. Fuel injection finally arrived in October 1982 creating the XR3i, eight months behind the limited edition (8,659 examples) race-track-influenced RS 1600i. The Cologne-developed RS received a more powerful engine with 115 PS (85 kW), thanks to computerized ignition and a modified head as well as the fuel injection. Built in Germany but developed with the aid of computers in Essex, Michigan and Cologne, the XR3 was an instant hit, and represented one in 10 Escort sales. The mix of iconic ‘cloverleaf’ alloy wheels, chin spoiler and Porsche 928 inspired sports seats, captured the public’s imagination. It wasn’t perfect, however, despite Bilstein being drafted in at the last minute to tweak the suspension, the ride was firm, so Ford’s UK Special Vehicle Engineering arm, headed by Rod Mansfield, stepped in to change that.Believed to be one of some 168 UK registered XR3s left on the road today, this XR3, a non-injection iteration of the model, was first registered on 20th April 1982, with the rare and desirable 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in the attractive and rarely seen Titan Blue with dealer decals still in place, this is a very early XR3 that the vendor purchased for his daughter in March 2022, after ‘a long search for a ‘good one’’, but it sits in a garage and has seen little use. With 4 former keepers recorded, the vendor says the car had once been owned by an auntie, then her niece and had been in storage for sometime.Even with Historic Vehicle status, the vendor has still put the XR3 through an MOT test at 86,798 miles, which will expire in July 2025. The single advisory has been remedied. The body is amazingly original with some minor marks as you would expect from such originality. The interior is equally very good. 'ARH’ had a cam-belt fitted along with a full service when purchased. In the last two years, the XR3 has also benefitted from a new carburettor, cam-belt and water pump, new tyres, new brake components, battery and battery tray, head gasket, thermostat, oil and filter. Additionally, it's worth pointing out its cloverleaf spare wheel and a Blue top-tint windscreen. Offered with a collection of invoices, sundry paperwork and a current V5C on file.

Registration No: UW 2726 Chassis No: GX026 MOT: ExemptMatching chassis and engine numbersDisplayed at the 1929 Olympia Motor Show and then supplied new to Alfred Sainsbury of the famous grocery chainRecently retrimmed interior, new hood and tonneau cover by David Beswick coach trimmingBought by the previous owner in 1994 as a restored rolling chassis with the coachwork includedRe-bodied as a four-seater Tourer reputedly using a Tony Robinson bodyRestoration completed in 1997 and then used on many continental tours soon after A logical progression from Rolls-Royce's first ‘owner driver' model the 20hp, the 20/25hp was introduced in 1929. Near identical to its forebear, at least to begin with, the newcomer enjoyed a greater turn of speed thanks to an enlarged 3669cc OHV straight-six engine. Fed by a single Rolls-Royce carburettor and carrying both magneto and coil ignition, the super-smooth powerplant was mounted in unit with a four-speed manual gearbox (the latter operated via a traditional right-hand change). Capable of supporting a wide variety of coachwork, the 20/25hp's substantial ladder frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a mechanical servo. Progressively developed, the Rolls-Royce 20/25hp remained in production until 1936 by which time some 3,827 are thought to have been sold.Chassis ‘GXO26’ was displayed at the 1929 Olympia Motor Show and was just the 15th example of the 20/25 sold to the public. Supplied new to Mr. Alfred Sainsbury of Queen Anne’s Mansions, W.1, London, an important member of the famous grocery chain (and was made a director of Sainsbury's when the company became a PLC), it began life as a H.J. Mulliner-bodied Weymann Saloon, the original coachwork had long since fallen into disrepair by the time the previous owner acquired the Rolls-Royce in 1994. In fact, at that time the 20/25 existed as a well restored rolling chassis with a handsome, but yet to be fitted, four-seater Tourer body which is thought to have been crafted by the esteemed coachbuilder Tony Robinson. The restoration project was completed by 1997, with the former keeper subsequently enjoying ‘UW 2726’ on a number of Continental Tours.As part of the restoration works, the interior was re-upholstered and a new hood and tonneau cover made by David Beswick Coach Trimming costing some £7,000 in trimming alone. Boasting a dynamo starter and full flow oil filter, the Rolls-Royce is said to possess ‘very good oil pressure’, not to mention ‘a fully functional central chassis lubrication system’. Having had its brakes relined c.5,000 miles ago, the 20/25 was offered through H&H after twenty-seven years of ownership and sold into the current late ownership for £92,250 in 2021. Thereafter, used and enjoyed by the late vendor alongside his other classic cars, the 20/25 is accompanied by copies of the RREC chassis card records, a collection of invoices and previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C Registration Document. A very pretty Tourer bodied 20/25, and boasting matching numbers chassis and engine number, the example offered here takes some beating.

Registration No: RLO 378E Chassis No: 1D52760BW MOT: ExemptPurchased by world famous singer, Madonna, for her son Rocco RitchieSubject to much recent work including a full repaint into Opalescent MaroonThe 'rarest' MkX, being a 4.2 Litre example pre-420GSupplied with original green logbook and service plan document issued by the supplying dealer, University Motors LtdInitially developed as Jaguar's replacement for the chassis constructed MkIX and given the in-house codename "Zenith", the Jaguar Mark X (Ten) was the British manufacturer's top-of-the-range saloon car throughout the 1960s. The large and luxurious MkX was primarily aimed at the North American market, with the company hoping that the car would appeal to heads of state, diplomats and film stars. Introduced in the same year as Jaguar's iconic E-Type, the MkX impressed with its technical specification and innovations. Unlike its predecessors, the car featured integrated unitary bodywork, the largest car constructed this way in the UK at the time, as well as independent rear suspension which was completely unheard of on early 1960s British luxury cars. Initally fitted with the same 3.8-litre, triple carburettor XK engine with straight port cylinder head as fitted to the E-Type, it gave Jaguar's flagship a top speed of 120 mph and capable handling at less than half the price of the contemporary Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. The Mark X introduced a new slightly forward-leaning nose design for Jaguar saloons, with its four headlamps set into rounded front fenders and a vaned grille. This front-end style was used on many of the manufacturer's later cars, forging Jaguar’s look for almost half a century. In 1964, in line with the E-Type, the MkX's power unit would be upgraded with a 4.2 Litre XK unit in place of the 3.8 Litre which could be coupled to either an updated Borg Warner automatic transmission (a Type 8 rather than a DG) or the same full syncromesh gearbox as its Sports Car sister. Only in production for two years, the 4.2 Litre MkX was replaced by the 420G in 1967, and remains the rarest MkX with only 5,137 built.‘RLO 378E’ was first registered by University Motors Ltd of Richmond on 17th May 1967 and then sold to Flaskett Ltd of Kingston-on-Thames on the 22nd December 1967. We then know it was the subject of some restoration work in 1995 and by the late 1990s emerged from dry storage before being acquired by Mr G Birks (Birks MotorWorks) and recommissioned in 2010. The Jaguar would be sold onto another owner before being purchased by Madonna for her son, Rocco Ritchie in 2021.Rocco decided to have the car stripped back to bare metal, welded and repainted in Opalescent Maroon, in addition, the XK engine benefitted from an overhaul which included a rebore and new pistons. The interior was treated to a refresh and fitted with a reversing camera to aid manoeuvring. Works were completed in 2022. Rocco has used the car extensively; regularly appearing with it at several exhibitions that display his artwork. Madonna used the Jaguar for a 2024 photoshoot that appeared on Instagram, captioned 'Mood in LNDN'. Kept at Madonna’s address throughout Rocco’s custodianship, the MkX is being offered to market directly from him. Rocco describes the car as being in overall ‘good condition’ although the engine is ticking slightly and he feels it requires looking into. Used in London, the paintwork has suffered some small dings that may need attention, although Rocco describes it as looking ‘good’ overall.

Registration No: 847 CXK Chassis No: BN6/2341 MOT: ExemptDesirable two-seater 'BN6' modelSubject to a comprehensive body-off overhaul in 1990's which has survived remarkably wellRecently undergone a caburettor rebuild by Leighton Buzzard specialists 'Carburetter Exchange' in preparation for saleMaintained very well since restoration with a large history file detailing expenditure"After a really gruelling road test, I can say that this new sports model is ideal for Continental touring. It also stood up to lap after lap of the Nürburgring at racing speeds, without complaint, and that must be equivalent to a vast mileage under more humane conditions. Finally, it has the kind of appearance that will make many prospective purchasers reach for their cheque books." – John Bolster on the Austin-Healey 100/6, Autosport, 12th October 1956.Introduced in 1956, the 100/6 represented the most radical step forward in the Big Healey's development. Despite its initial success, sales of the original Austin-Healey 100 had begun to decline by the mid-1950s and so the model was revamped as the '100/6', BMC's 2.6-litre C-series six replacing the original four-cylinder Austin Atlantic engine. At the same time, the wheelbase was lengthened from 7' 6" to 7' 8", which enabled the inclusion of two occasional seats in the rear of the BN4 variant. In 100-6 tune the pushrod six produced 102bhp - 12bhp more than its predecessor - though the inevitable weight gain meant that there was little if any improvement in performance, the car's top speed remaining at 103mph or thereabouts. Although stylistically very similar to the preceding 100, the 100/6 was nevertheless easily distinguishable by its 'crinkle' radiator grille and bonnet-top air intake. In 1957 an improved six-port engine became available, and this 117bhp unit was fitted to all the newly introduced BN6 two-seater roadsters. The top speed improved to 111mph and 1.7 seconds were cut from the 0-60mph time.According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate on file, chassis BN6/2341 was initially despatched to the Austin showroom on Oxford Street, London on the 29th of July 1958 before being redistributed to Mann Egerton of Norwich and was specified with the desirable options of wire wheels and overdrive. The first owner was Mr J. A. Boyden of Knightsbridge, London who took delivery on New Years Eve, 1958.Little is known about Mr Boyden’s ownership, or subsequent ownership until 1991, when the car is understood to have been owned by Mr A Wilkinson. It is understood that the ‘Big Healey’ was at this point in dire need of restoration, and the first record is for an estimate from Automotive Engineering and Refurbishment Ltd of Brierly Hill on the 10th October 1991. Unfortunately, Mr Wilkinson’s declining health meant a change of plans and in 1993, whilst the car was still in restoration, the car was sold to Mr M. Workman and by 1995, the car was registered on what is believed to be its original registration number, ‘847 CXK’, MOT’d and back on the road. For some reason by 1996 a legal dispute had started regarding the restoration, which is documented in the history file. However, the two-seater was by now completed having been subject to a comprehensive body-off overhaul and repainted in Red over Ivory white. The Workman family would keep ‘847 CXK’ until 2020, when the car was sold to the previous owner, who completed several works to the mechanical components of the car for which there is a stack of invoices from AH Spares.The vendor acquired ‘847 CXK’ in 2023, with the intent of the car complimenting his two-plus-two 100/6 and has used the car sparingly whilst improving it with a recent Carburettor rebuild by Carburetter Exchange, Leighton Buzzard, new rear shock absorbers and a thorough service to improve running.Upon inspection, we noted that this fine-looking motor car appears very presentable, and the vendor notes that the paintwork and bodywork are still ‘very good’ given that the restoration is now just under 30 years old. The vendor also notes that the red vinyl interior is in ‘very good’ fettle too and has evidently been subject to a major re-trim in the past. Furthermore, mechanically the Healey is said to also be ‘very good’ and has evidently been very well looked after by its owners since the restoration.

Registration No: 433 UYF Chassis No: 95296 MOT: ExemptThe most affordable entry point into exclusive Talbot-Lago ownershipExtensively restored in France during the 1990sImported into the UK in 2014Known ownership since 1955Due to the bankruptcy and break-up of the Anglo-French motor manufacturer Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq in 1935, an enterprising Venitian engineer by the name of Tony Lago would purchase the French part of the business in 1936. Lago had built much of his motoring industry experience in England during the 1920s and wasted no time in replacing the pre-bankruptcy models with several elegant new models to the newly found ‘Talbot-Lago’ company. These new designs were at first lightweight sporting six-cylinder models designed by fellow Italian ex-pat Walter Becchia and included the Talbot Baby, Talbot Cadette and the Talbot Major.The launch of the four-cylinder T4 Minor at the Paris Auto Show 1937 represented something of a departure for Talbot-Lago and allowed the company to compete within a slighter lower down price bracket. Taking its chassis from the existing Talbot Baby, a new sports saloon body was designed which resembled the larger Cadette and Major. The 2,323cc overhead valve engine was fed by a single Stromberg carburettor and produced 62hp at 4,000 rpm. To keep things upmarket, the Minor was only offered in Right Hand Drive, which was in keeping with most of the more expensive French cars. Unfortunately, by 1940 the Talbot factory would be converted to use for the war effort, spelling the end for the Minor.Understood to have been built in 1938, this Talbot T4 Minor is one of only around 100 examples to have left the Suresnes factory. Most likely due to WWII, the car has lost most of its earliest history, however, ownership records date back to 1955 when it was in the custodianship with a Monsieur Phillipe who owned the vehicle until 1964 before passing it to another owner who would own it until 1993, when it was offered to a Monsieur Roland who would carry out a comprehensive overhaul. The car would later be exhibited at the Paris Retromobile show in 2004 and offered for sale and purchased by a British gentleman in 2014. Now registered as ‘233 UYF’ it entered the custodianship of the vendor in 2015.The vendor has kept the Talbot-Lago in fine fettle throughout his ownership. Upon inspection, the engine fired into life with relative ease and the vendor has advised that the overall condition of the car is ‘very good’, with the paint appearing in remarkably good condition despite age-related marks and the gorgeous duo-tone leather and patterned moquette interior also presenting extremely well. Now to be offered for sale as one of only two believed to be in the UK this rare T4 Minor is offered with a history file including some correspondence between previous owners, the UK V5C, some operating instructions and invoices for recent chrome work and a battery within the vendor’s ownership.

Registration No: NEA 421V Chassis No: 2392148815 MOT: April 2025Desirable UK-supplied example that pleasingly features a highly original interiorUtilising a 1641cc ‘Super Street’ engineSubject to mechanical improvement in 2023Used since by the vendor for several camping trips including to Brecon Beacons, Suffolk, and BristolIntroduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 which has proven versatile enough to serve as a panel van, minibus, camper van and even fire engine was immediately recognisable due to its adoption of a large single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. Facelifted in 1972 for the following model year, the Volkswagen gained more visible / higher set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary US passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).A late production T2, it was converted when new to Devon Moonraker specification. UK-supplied, the Volkswagen is presented in attractive Yellow and White paintwork and features its pleasingly largely original interior, this includes a side opening ‘pop top’, worktop and cabinets with two-burner hob, sink with drying rack, rock-and-roll bed, folding chair, table, curtains, storage, fridge, C-TEK charger with leisure battery and more. Utilising a ‘big bore super street’ 1641cc engine that was fitted in 2009 by The Engine Shop, after the engine had received a full overhaul. In previous ownership from 2012, the Volkswagen received over £6,000 enhancement with specialists Absolute VW, including lowering with Creative Engineering parts; new front discs, calipers, pads and hoses; wiring attention; rocker gaskets replaced; new exhaust; 12v fuse box; 240v hook-up; and more. Subsequently, ‘NEA 421V’ covered c.3,000 miles including a European road trip, before being acquired by the vendor who continued the improvements and camping trips with journeys to the Brecon Beacons, Suffolk, and Bristol. Last year receiving a carburettor overhaul, a new dual marine battery (costing £120), and a new coil, distributor, heat exchanger, service items, and Pertronix Ignitor kit costing some £600, from specialists Just Kampers. Accompanied by a history file with a collection of invoices, a no advisory MOT until April 2025, and V5C which records just six former keepers, and a full set of black-out window covers.

Registration No: GF 5087Chassis No: 46163MOT: ExemptSupplied new by Col. Sorrel to 'Montmorensie' and subsequently the property of J.M. Carrick, J. Montgomerie, A.R. Gooda, R.J. Rickards, D.E. Crowther and the vendorOriginal chassis, engine and transaxle. Front axle understood to be of Molsheim manufacture but no number discernedDecidedly elegant Weymann coachworkThere is no doubt ‘La Petite Royale’ succeeded where ‘(La Grande) Royale’ failed in terms of cementing Bugatti’s status as a luxury motorcar manufacturer; little wonder then that the model was reputedly among Ettore’s favourites. Le Patron would surely have approved of this particular example – chassis 46163 – too on the basis that it sports a scaled-down version of the magnificent semi-panelled Weymann Coach body which adorned his personal Type 41 ‘Royale’ when it won the 1929 Grand Prix d'Honneur Concours d'Elegance complete with ‘letterbox’ windscreen, kick-forward A-pillar, D-back and asymmetric rear windows. Invoiced to UK concessionaire Colonel Sorrel on 7th January 1930 for the princely sum of FF63,000 (including FF2,570 of extra fittings), the two-door Fixed Head was delivered a month later. Issued with the London number plate ‘GF 5087’ on April 2nd 1930, the Type 46’s first owner is simply recorded as ‘Montmorensie’ who we presume to have been the artist Sir Miles Fletcher de Montmorency, 17th Baronet Morres of Knockagh. Deriving an income from his Irish estates but residing in the English Capital, de Montmorency seemingly kept the four-seater until 1939/1940 when it was bought by Rodney Clarke Esq. for a mere £30! The co-founder of renowned Bugatti and Maserati specialists Continental Cars (and later Connaught), Clarke believed chassis 46163 to have been the Type 46 that he loaned to Cecil Clutton and Laurence Pomeroy for a test drive which was subsequently written-up in the April 1942 issue of Motor Sport magazine. Hand- and typewritten correspondence on file also reveals that ‘GF 5087’ was the car in which Pamela Clarke ‘missed being born by five minutes’ during 1943.Migrating to Scotland thereafter, the close-coupled four-seater belonged to J.M. Carrick Esq. of Coldstream, Berwick and then John Montgomerie Esq of Castle Douglas. The latter acquired it in 1954 and as the proprietor of James Gordon (Engineers) Ltd set about a ‘chassis up, body off’ restoration. Amazingly, much of the work is chronicled via a series of accompanying black and white photographs. Done on a piecemeal basis, the project had yet to be completed when Robert Prosser (acting on behalf of Robert Gooda Esq.) tracked the Bugatti to Castle Douglas during 1973. In two minds about selling, Montgomerie asked what he felt was an overly ambitious £4,000 for chassis 46163 and was somewhat taken aback to be pretty much handed a deposit there and then. Custodian for less than a year, Mr Gooda had the Type 46 re-registered as ‘GF 5087’ but apparently did little else prior to his premature demise. Advertised for £6,500 in the Thursday February 21st 1974 issue of Exchange & Mart, the Bugatti had in fact changed hands earlier that month being bought by R.J. Rickards Esq. Entering into correspondence with Mr Montgomerie, Mr Rickards received a wealth of information about the mechanical overhaul and was even sent the water pump. The engine is the original factory-fitted unit and is clearly stamped with the numbers ‘79’ and ‘195’. The former is the actual engine number, while the latter is the assembly number (and not that of a correct-type replacement, as had been previously posited). Mr Rickards would own the Bugatti for no less than thirty years during which time he repaired the ash frame, had the fabric panelling renewed in Blue by coachbuilder I. Wilkinson & Son of Derby and retrimmed the interior etc but, like his predecessors, did not finish it. Sold to its previous keeper Douglas Crowther Esq via the agency of Gavin McGuire Fine Automobiles in 2004, the Type 46 was further improved with all six of its alloy wheels being expensively refurbished before entering the current ownership a decade later.An automotive engineer by profession whose career took him all over the globe on various troubleshooting and project management missions, the vendor has had a lifelong passion for motorcars. Inspired by a petrolhead stepfather and racing driver mother, he has undertaken numerous restorations over the years and still has a 1932 Alvis which has been in his family since new. As well as completely rewiring the Weymann Coach including rejuvenating the ignition system (no mean feat given the lack of available information on the twin-plug set-up), he has had the instruments restored and the interior trim completed. Thought to have begun life with Marchal lighting, ‘GF 5087’ switched over to Scintilla components early in its life (the fuse box and horn are marked Scintilla too). More original than many surviving Bugattis, chassis 46163 has recently been inspected by the marque historian and Honorary Registrar of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, Mark Morris. Keen to be as authentic as possible in his endeavours, the seller has persisted with the Smith-Bariquand carburettor and reinstated the full-length running boards (a task made easier by the presence of the factory mounting holes). The ‘Metro Fully Flush Sliding Roof’ remains in situ and operational. Although a going concern, ‘GF 5087’ has yet to be run-in and / or de-bugged since the completion of its protracted, seven-decade, refurbishment. Housed within an engine-turned aluminium panel, the Jaegar instruments encompass a 150kmh speedometer and zeroed odometer.Aesthetics are subjective but we consider chassis 46163 to be among the most attractive Type 46s to have survived. Our sentiments being presaged by Cecil Clutton in Motor Sport eighty-two years ago: ‘This particular car is undoubtedly one of the most handsome ever, as is universally agreed by all beholders . . . The body is a two-door, four-light Weymann, with a large travelling trunk behind. The wheels are of the aluminium type. Some 5-litres are rather “lumps” in appearance, but this one is essentially “sleek.” An overall height of only 5’ 3”, as against a wheelbase of no less than 11’ 6”, largely contributes to the exceptionally fine appearance’. The potential jewel in many a collection and a fabulous opportunity for Bugattistes everywhere, this glorious ‘Petite Royale’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, Mark Morris report and spare block (which was purchased from marque specialist ‘Ivan Dutton’ on a ‘just in case / you never know’ basis).For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: BAS 324 Chassis No: 824.041.1328 MOT: August 2025One of only 847 Flaminia GT Convertibles builtSubject to a full restoration during the 1990s with a high standard of maintenance work continuing through to todayRegarded as the best handling GT car of its timeOffered with a comprehensive history file dating back to the late 1980s, which includes images of restoration worksIntroduced at the Turin Auto Show in 1957, Lancia’s Flaminia line was the successor to the ground-breaking Aurelia. The Flaminia inherited the Aurelia’s revolutionary DeVirgilio-designed V6 and rear-mounted transaxle, but the earlier model’s sliding pillar front suspension was replaced by a more modern unequal-length double-wishbone front suspension and the V6's stroke was decreased while the bore sizes increased for higher revving. The Flaminia platform was so excellent that it was subject to a number of coachbuilt designs to complement the factory Pinin Farina offering from the likes of Zagato for the 'Sport', Pinin Farina themselves for the 'Coupé' and 'Speciale' and of course Carozzeria Touring for the 'GT' and 'GTL' models.The very rakishly designed Carrozzeria Touring 'GT' first appeared in 1959 and was constructed with an attractive Aluminium 'Superleggera' body. Available in both Coupé and Convertible forms, the GT featured ultra modern twin headlights, finned rear wings and a shortened wheelbase to be proportionally more satisfying as a two seater. The early cars were powered by the 2458cc version of the V6 engine fed by a Solex Carburettor, which was considerably 'hotted up' for the GT and produced 117hp - an increase of 16hp over the more pedestrian Berlina.As expensive as its rival Aston Martin DB4 when launched, the Flaminia GT was out of the league of the 'many' and its stunning looks appealed to major continental stars such as Marcello Mastroianni and Jean-Paul Belmondo. The Flaminia's other party trick, its handling characteristics, appealed to the likes of Juan-Manuel Fangio and Peter Collins, with Enzo Ferrari committing to print that the GT was 'the best handling car available'. Now a hugely under-appreciated Italian thoroughbred that is both incredibly usable and astonishingly pretty, these rare Lancias represent fantastic value for money against their contemporary peers.According to an email from Massimo Castagnola of the Fiat Group, referencing original Lancia factory records that are on file, chassis 824.041.1328 was manufactured on the 17th April 1961 with its body painted in the attractive colour scheme of 'Grey Newmarket' with the interior in 'Red Sky'. Purported to have been in the custodianship of its first owner in Salinas, USA from 1961 to 1989, the first officially documented part of the car's history was from its purchase by a Mr R D Pardilla of San Diego in 1989, by which time it was clothed in a Light Metallic Blue. Mr Padilla would keep the Lancia for 9 years, and having found the Light Metallic Blue rather distasteful opted to have it re-painted Red prior to its sale to a Mr Burbani. Mr Burbani immediately exported the Flaminia from the USA to his son, a resident in Ravenna, Italy, where it was immediately stripped down to begin a comprehensive restoration for which there are many photographs on file. It is understood that Mr Burbani only got to the stage of having the colour painted and assembled as a rolling shell with a re-trimmed interior and new Black mohair hood before its sale in 2001 to the previous long-term keeper, Mr I G Harmond - who was a British resident, who continued with the completion of the restoration. It is noted in the history file that the engine was changed around this period to a unit from a Lancia Flaminia Berlina, due to a fault with the original engine, which is understood to be missing. Mr Harmond then imported the Flaminia into the UK where it was registered as 'BAS 324' before it was purchased by the current keeper through esteemed restorer and sales outfit, Thornley Kelham.In the vendor's ownership and since restoration, 'BAS 324' has been subject to a comprehensive maintenance schedule - with an extensive file of receipts from specialists such as Tanc Barratt, Thornley Kelham and Omicron on file. The most recent of these invoices was from Tanc Barratt for dynamic balancing of the flywheel, replacement of the prop shaft coupling and refitting of the clutch (which had been recently replaced in a previous invoice), due to a small vibration that the vendor had picked up on. The vendor drives his car collection regularly and expects nothing less than mechanical excellence, so when a small fluid leak from the transaxle was picked up during our inspection, he immediately booked the car in for inspection and rectification in this area. As a result, the vendor describes the mechanical condition of the Lancia to be 'very good' to 'excellent' making this a fine driver's car. Cosmetically, the restoration (now the best part of 25 years old) has stood up well to the test of time, however, interested parties should note that some paint rectification will be needed to make the Flaminia a Concours D'Elegance winner. The vendor describes the cosmetic condition as 'good' as a result, but advises it will still makes a gorgeous show car for the time being.Having decided that he is simply not using the Lancia due to the ownership of a collection of modern classic Aston Martins, and an impending house move, the vendor has decided that it is now time to find a new custodian for his prized Italian soft-top. It is offered with a V5C Registration Document. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: PO 7734 Chassis No: M-1098 MOT: ExemptAttractive special running what are thought to be PB-type brakes, wheels and suspensionCurrent ownership since 2019Subject to an engine overhaul in 2020VSCC eligibleThe MG M-Type was manufactured from April 1929 to 1932 and was sometimes referred to as the 8/33. Launched at the 1928 London Motor Show when sales of larger MG saloons began to falter due to the economic climate, the small car brought MG ownership to a new sector of the market and probably saved the company. Early cars were assembled in MG's Cowley factory but production transferred to Abingdon when the MG factory moved there in the Autumn of 1929. The M-Type was one of the first genuinely affordable sports cars to be offered by an established manufacturer, as opposed to modified versions of factory-built saloon cars and tourers. This two-door sports car used an updated version of the four-cylinder, bevel-gear driven, overhead-camshaft engine used in the 1928 Morris Minor and Wolseley 10 with a single SU carburettor generating a sporty 20bhp. Drive was to the rear wheels through a three-speed non-synchromesh gearbox. Early bodies were fabric-covered around a wooden frame but this changed to all-metal in 1931 when the majority of cars were clothed by Carbodies of Coventry and offered by MG in either open two-seat or closed two-door Sportsman’s Coupé versions. The M-Type enjoyed considerable sporting success, both privately and with official teams, winning gold medals in the 1929 Land's End Trial and class wins in the 1930 'Double Twelve' race at Brooklands. Total sales amounted to 3,253 cars by the time production ceased in 1933. According to the copy of the original factory build cards, chassis 1098 was first sold to J.D. Windle of Southall on 22nd February 1930. There is also correspondence with the MG Works from that period regarding an engine overhaul. According to the V5C supplied with the car, there have been four previous keepers. Prior to the current keeper's ownership, the car was extensively restored with a new ash frame and with what appear to be PB-type brakes, wheels and suspension components, giving the car a wider stance than the standard M-Type Midget. The car was recovered with fabric and the metal panel work was brush-painted around this time. The current owner purchased the car in 2019 and according to correspondence in the history file, was intending to return the car to original specification, but chose not to. The engine was overhauled in 2020 which there are receipts available for and the interior was re-trimmed. According to the vendor, the car runs well and he has driven it regularly, keeping up with regular maintenance jobs. The interior, having been re-trimmed presents in good order and the bodywork is still in good condition, with a few signs of aging appearing around, for example, the front mudguards. A great opportunity to use as a starter sports car for trials or similar events. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: WAM 731K Chassis No: GHN5252748G MOT: May 2025‘Works-style replica’ for use in classic tours and track eventsSubject to an extensive 3- year restoration by A J RestorationsGas flowed Oselli head, Piper 717 cam, a balanced crank, rods, flywheel and Weber 45Moss Independent front suspension set-up and 15” Minilite style wheels PLEASE NOTE: The windscreen on this lot has recently cracked. The MG is booked in for a replacement windscreen on Thursday. If the successful buyer wanted to collect the MG from the vendor when the windscreen has been replaced this can be arranged or alternatively the vendor will look to arrange the appointment closer to the buyer’s location. Introduced in 1962, the MG B Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control. The MkII (’GHN5’ chassis numbers from 1969 onwards) MG B, had a 5 main bearing engine with alternator, negative earth and, at last, received a new gearbox with synchromesh on all four forward speeds.Finished in Tartan Red with White Works style hardtop which is fitted with a rare Minivan roof vent 'WAM 731K' was bought by the vendor in 2001 and from 2003 to 2006 was subject to an extensive 3-year restoration by A J Restorations of Shaftesbury. All external panels (doors, bonnet, boot and front wings) were replaced and front and rear Sebring valances were fitted. The remit was to restore and replicate the 1965 Works MGB Race cars used at Le Mans.The impressive specification includes; Gas flowed Oselli head, Piper 717 cam, a balanced crank, rods, flywheel and a Weber 45 carburettor which produced 130bhp on Sigma’s rolling road in Gillingham. In 2001 the whole front suspension was replaced with a Moss Independent front suspension set-up and all the suspension and brake components were renewed including the discs, uprights, and hubs at a cost of some £3,000.We are told the full roll cage took a week to adapt and fit properly and four new 15” Minilite wheels, tyres, racing seats and harnesses were all installed. In total c.£25,000 has been spent. A regular attendee to Goodwood, Le Mans Classic, Silverstone Classic (on the MG Owners club stand), we are informed it has not been raced, although it has done a couple of track days at Castle Combe. The MG further benefits from trips to AJ Restorations every May, for a service and MOT. For more information, please contact: John Markey john.markey@handh.co.uk 01428 607899

Registration No: WMP 391G Chassis No: G1110 MOT: May 2025No. 110 of only 197 examples manufacturedSubject to a comprehensive restoration in the 1990s with only c.10,000 miles covered since3.0-litre V6 engine with fast road camshaft, uprated oil pump, and new Weber carburettorBenefitting from thousands of recent expenditure with a marque specialistAnnounced at the 1966 London Motor Show, the Genie introduced a new body shape with a more powerful 3.0-litre Ford V6 engine. Production started in 1967 and continued until 1970, the cars being sold in either component form or fully factory-built. The engine was fed by a twin-choke Weber carburettor, with a four-speed manual gearbox (optional with overdrive gearbox). Suspension on the first 30 to 40 cars was still MGB with wire wheels, although a number were fitted with the Austin Healey 3000 rear axle. Later cars have the MGC rear axle and front suspension uprights with Gilbern-designed alloy wheels. The body shape of the Genie is also common to the MkI and MkII Invaders, but the various models can usually be identified from their detailed fitments and fittings. The Genies interior featured a vinyl-covered dashboard and centre console and was further distinguishable by two forward-facing vents bonnet. Other features are opening front and rear quarter lights; electric windows were an optional extra.Number 110 of the mere 197 examples manufactured, ‘WMP 391G’ was manufactured in 1969 and first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of February that year. A desirable overdrive example, it benefitted from a comprehensive restoration in the early 1990s, during which the Genie received a full repaint in Giallo Forte paintwork, a full engine overhaul including uprating with a fast road camshaft, uprated oil pump, new Weber carburettor, and electronic ignition. Showing some 97,000 miles when restored, the Gilbern has covered just c.9,000 miles since the restoration.Well maintained by the previous and current keepers utilising services of marque specialist, Sporting Classic Marques of Llanelli. During the previous ownership improvements by them included fabricating new stainless steel rear exhaust sections and rolling road tuning (with the dyno sheets showing 165bhp and 189lb/ft). Entering the vendor's private collection in 2018, the Gilbern received over £4,200 expenditure with Sporting Classic Marques in 2023 comprising a new starter motor, attention to the fuel lines, fabricated exhaust back box, re-wiring of the overdrive, renewed carburettor, and further fettling.Starting readily and both running and driving very well during the photography session, the Gilbern has been used for local events and runs and is only making way due to further classics being added to the collection. Offered with a history file including numerous previous MOTs, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C Document. A very rare model, this well-sorted example is temptingly offered without reserve, the Genie would allow any new owner to stand out from the crowd of less scarce classics!

Registration No: NNT 628W Chassis No: TPVDV8AT214510 MOT: September Genuine factory-built example LHD and therefore ideal for touring the ContinentFast, rare and fitted with a plethora of desirable upgradesRecently MOT inspection, with very low emissions recordedTR8 coupes based on the original Harris Mann TR7 design made from 1978 to 1980 are quite rare; it is estimated that only about 400 TR8 coupes ever existed - this number from records kept by members of the North America-based wedge club, the Triumph Wedge Owners Association. To the roughly 150 pre-production coupes mentioned above, another 250 or so coupes were produced, some sold in Canada as 1979 models but most ended up being held back and then finally sold in the US as 1980 models. In 1979, a long-anticipated Michelotti-refreshed TR7 convertible was introduced, and almost all subsequent production TR8s were convertibles. Total worldwide production, as best as can be determined throughout all the labour turmoil at the time, is only around 2750, give or take a "handful". (Enthusiast Richard Connew went through the records at British Motor Heritage Industry Trust and counted 2746.) Other estimates exist. The German version of Wikipedia claims 2722 and cites the TR Register-Austria as source; 2815 is the number quoted in an article from Classic & Sports Car, March 1986 and in William Kimberley's 1981 book as well. Both the TR7 and TR8 were made until October 1981 when production ceased. Very few genuine TR8s exist outside of the United States and Canada. In other countries the TR7 is often converted to a "TR7V8" with the same ubiquitous Buick / Rover 3.5 litre V8 powerplant used in original factory TR8s. In Australia a popular TR7V8 conversion is to use the 4416 cc version of this engine that had been developed for the Leyland P76.Supplied new in 1980 to Michigan, USA, ‘NNT 628W’ was reputedly used sparingly early in its life by its full-figured first owner that found it increasingly difficult to get in and out of!! It was purchased in 2005 by an Englishman, now living in France - an engineer by trade; he had spent years building a Cobra replica, but the French refused to register it, being rather adverse to anything that resembled a kit car... He made the decision to sell it and instead invest in the the best original ‘factory’ TR8 he could get his hands on. It was reputedly meticulously kept in his workshop alongside his collection of old motorbikes and he set about making every improvement recommended in Roger Williams book “How to improve your Triumph TR8”. The previous keeper states “We drove it from Limoges to Hertfordshire and it was flawless - it drives unbelievably well and was Ziebarted from new with zero corrosion now.” More recently purchased as a birthday present for the vendor’s wife (to use in Portugal), sadly the authorities there want over €30,000 to register it, hence it’s now available for sale!The following enhancements have been carried out to improve handling: Uprated front brakes using the big brake kit utilising Wilwood 4-pot alloy callipers, slightly larger diameter discs which are thicker and vented to improve the cooling of the brakes. In the process of fitting this braking kit, the vendor replaced the flexible hoses with stainless steel braided units to improve the pedal feel which previously they found to be a little spongy. The vendor opted for the Wilwood compensation unit which allows the setting of the front - rear brake balance to be modified by the driver. They uprated the front springs and replaced the suspension leg with a firmer unit imported from a recognised TR8 specialist in the USA. To balance this, the vendor also replaced the rear suspension with Spax adjustable units and similarly uprated springs - this provided a really improved stance and much better cornering and handling. At a later date, the vendor changed the old rubber suspension bushes which were showing their age with polyurethane units - this applies to the rear suspension legs and also the anti roll bar mountings front and back. The bottom ball joints were replaced at the same time and an ‘anti-dive’ kit was fitted to reduce the nose dive on heavy braking (seen as one of the best mod’s you can make to the car). A number of the original ancillaries have also been replaced which include: Electronic ignition and high performance leads, new Holley 390 four-barrel carburettor with performance manifold, extractor exhaust manifolds and stainless steel exhaust system, uprated alternator, High torque starter, 15” Minilite-style alloy wheels and roll bar.After purchasing the car, the vendor tasked specialists Robsport of Royston to make further improvements and sort anything that needed rectifying. These Robsport additions (approx £4000 in total), included a Coolex-made 56mm core aluminium radiator with twin fans and a specially designed shroud, various hose, bushes and mounts renewed, whilst the brakes/suspension were all thoroughly checked. The Holley carb diaphragm/seals/gaskets were renewed and the car MOT’d with a very low emissions result. Ready to use and enjoy, the only faults recorded are - the left hand seat has split on the seam (maybe a trimmer could repair this), plus there's a couple of rust bubbles on the front corner of the Right Hand door. The bonnet has a few small dents in it and the left hand quarter light needs repainting and there is a small scratch to LH rear wing.

Registration No: TTH 9 Chassis No: AN5/16380 MOT: ExemptA 'barn find' having last been taxed for road use in 1987Current family ownership for the last forty-five yearsSubstantially complete (including the correct-type steel bonnet)A worthwhile project with ready parts availabilityIntended as a spiritual successor to pre-WW2 sports cars such as the MG M-type or Austin 7 Nippy, the Austin-Healey Sprite was launched in May 1958. Fruit of the partnership between Donald Healey and Austin's Leonard Lord, its design costs were kept to a minimum through some inspired parts bin raiding. Built around a lightweight monocoque, it utilised the Austin A35's independent front suspension and four-speed gearbox. Powered by a twin-carburettor fed 948cc A-series four-cylinder engine developing some 43bhp/52lbft, it was capable of over 80mph. Put on sale for just £669 rarely before or since has a sports car enjoyed such a large fun-to-price ratio. According to the DVLA and HPi databases, chassis AN5/16380 has been in the current family ownership since August 1979 but off the road for the last thirty-seven years. Now presenting as a ‘barn find’, the Austin-Healey appears substantially complete and comes with a wealth of extra spares including an additional A-Series engine and dashboard etc. Currently painted Blue, the two-seater carries traces of Red paint to its engine bay and an intriguing ‘Peking to Paris’ decal to its nearside door. Pleasingly retaining a correct-type steel bonnet, the Frogeye’s distinctive ‘TTH 9’ number plate which was originally issued in Carmarthenshire is understood to still be ‘live’. A potentially rewarding and hopefully straightforward project. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

The 1978 Renault R5 Alpine, finished in metallic silver, is a four-seater sports car known for its agility and performance. Built at the end of 1978 and first registered in 1991, this car has covered 130,911 kilometers and is equipped with original Alpine instrumentation and 13-inch Alpine Turbo wheels. A popular choice among racing enthusiasts, the Renault 5 Alpine offered a blend of everyday usability and sports car performance, making it an accessible entry point into motorsports. Technical Condition: This particular Renault R5 Alpine is powered by a modified Group 2 engine, delivering 108 HP from its 4-cylinder configuration paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car was completely disassembled and rebuilt by a Renault specialist from France, ensuring it remains in excellent mechanical condition. The vehicle’s cylinder head, along with the carburettor, intake, and exhaust systems, would need to be returned to their original specifications to comply with Swiss registration requirements. Visual Condition: The exterior metallic silver paint presents well, maintaining a sleek and sporty appearance. The interior features black leather seats and velour carpets, providing a comfortable and classic look that complements the car’s sporty nature. Despite the lack of a radio, the original Alpine instrumentation remains intact, enhancing the vehicle's authenticity and appeal. The Renault R5 Alpine was a popular model for the Renault 5 Alpine Cup, offering a lot of sports car experience for a relatively low cost. This car, which was likely never raced on the track, has been meticulously maintained and rebuilt for performance. Location: Switzerland . Video link: youtube.com/watch?v=ywX3ko3Ewgo

Registration - ARY 290BChassis No. - 6251668M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 28,941This charismatic 1964 Volkswagen Beach Buggy is a brilliant example of an iconic concept. The idea of fun beach buggy-type cars has passed through the ages, and this model is an expertly-honed example that features many desirable upgrades. First registered in May 1964 as a silver Volkswagen Beetle, ‘ARY290B’ now features a fully open body design, with a short ‘bikini’ windscreen and four seats trimmed in rich leather. The interior, complete with large white-rimmed original Beetle steering wheel, is described as being in ‘excellent’ condition and passengers don’t have to worry about doors – they simply jump in. If the bikini screen isn’t for you, a spare windscreen is included too. As for the ‘excellent’ bodywork, this is finished in a distinctive black gel coat with silver flakes, which have a multi-colour sparkle when caught by the sunlight.‘ARY290B’ has a 1,298cc twin port engine, and is fitted with a brand new MP carburettor. It also has an EMPI quick-shift gearlever for the four-speed ‘box. The engine, transmission and electrics are all described as being in ‘excellent’ condition, and a disc brake conversion on the front brakes boosts safety when driving. The vendor says it comes with two ignition keys, too. Reassuringly, they say it had new floorpans around three years ago, which have been fully undersealed. This coincided with them buying the car, and it’s always been kept in a dry garage ever since. The simple speedometer in the centre of the dashboard has an odometer reading 28,941 miles.In summary:Characterful beach buggyBased on a 1964 Volkswagen BeetleDistinctive paintwork and ‘excellent’ interior

Registration - XGT 225GChassis No. - GCD14112GM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 15,349A superb example of MG’s grand tourer of the late Sixties, this MGC GT is presented in pristine white, with black vinyl interior. Powered by a 2.9-litre straight six engine, ‘XGT 225G’ features a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. Fitted with exterior period features such as wire wheels, chrome bumpers, and distinctive bonnet bumps, the MGC GT’s all-black interior elements include an MG sports steering wheel, two seater cabin, and full-length canvas sunroof.Having been in current ownership for more than 11 years, ‘XGT 225G’ has had comprehensive work carried out, stripped back to bare metal, and then restored to original specifications. A packed file documents the work completed, with a large number of photos included as part of the sale, as well as heritage certificate. Considered in good overall condition by the vendor, the MGC GT’s paintwork is rated as ‘average’, though all other areas are reckoned ‘good’, including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, and interior. The odometer reads just 15,000 miles, though MOT records indicate that this will have been once around the five-digit clock.Carefully restored MGC GT grand tourerFull-length factory fitted sunroofWell documented heritageA modified version of the popular MGB, the MGC was launched as a replacement for the ‘big’ Austin Healey 3000 Mk III. Using the MGB as a base, MG used the C-Series unit, a six-cylinder engine, in this case fitted with twin SU carburettors to produce 145hp when new. To fit in that engine, MG had to make a number of modifications to the front end of the MGB, such as the floor-plan and engine bay, but the only visual changes came with the bonnet. Here, there is a distinctive bulge towards the leading edge to accommodate the repositioned radiator, and a smaller bulge just behind for carburettor clearance. Other changes saw a change of brakes, 15-inch wheels, revised steering ratio, and modified suspension. It was offered as both roadster and coupe from launch in 1967, and a four-speed manual with overdrive or three-speed automatic were available. Production only lasted until summer 1967, by which time more than 9,000 models had been built.

Powered by the Ford derived 3.0-litre V6, and featuring a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, the Invader looks every inch a classic British coupe. Trimmed with chrome outside, ‘FGH 99J’ features blue vinyl inside with wood veneer dashboard and three-spoke steering wheel, the Invader features a 2+2 cabin configuration.The current owner is just the sixth in more than 53 years on the road, and reports that a new Weber carburettor has been fitted. With an indicated near 93,000 miles on the clock, the Invader has been well used and cared for during its life, and the vendor reckons that the electronics, bodywork, paint, and interior are all ‘good’, and the engine and transmission are considered ‘excellent’. ‘FGH 99J’ is presented with a little work required on the rear bumper’s chrome, but comes with a huge file of paperwork, including invoices, wiring diagram, and original owner’s handbook.Fine example of an unusual classic British coupeFitted with 3.0-litre V6Large folder of paperwork includedWelsh manufacturer Gilbern introduced the Invader Mk I in June 1969, replacing the Genie. Mechanically, it was similar to the Genie, but featured a redesigned chassis, and changes to the bodywork and cabin. Using components from MG and Austin Healey, Gilburn used Ford V6 engines for power, and the Mk I Invader was upgraded to the Mk II in 1970, before the Mk III completed the Invader line in September 1972. The Invader was to be Gilbern’s last model, as production ceased in 1973.

They acquired it two years ago, after it was imported from South Africa. It has had an extensive restoration, with “thousands spent, with receipts”. While the seats are original, the carpets are new, and there’s a fresh convertible top and steering wheel. The gearbox was removed and serviced by specialists, with new bearings and seals, clutch and master cylinder. There’s also a new brake master cylinder (and recent brake rebuild), flywheel, bushes, rubber mounts and oil seals. It has an upgraded electronic ignition system, new coil, HT leads and spark plugs, while all fluids have been replaced.‘PHR384F’ is described as simply being in ‘excellent’ condition throughout, from engine, transmission and electrics, to bodywork, paintwork and interior. The underseal and chassis have been treated with Lanoguard rust protection treatment, and it has recently had an extensive tune-up including a carburettor rebuild. “Hundreds of man hours have gone into the car, and anything that needed doing has been done,” reports the vendor.The Sunbeam Alpine name was first used on a 1953 roadster, which was built for two years. However, it is the ‘Series’ Alpine two-seater, introduced in 1959, that proved far more popular, with over 69,000 examples sold in its nine-year production run. Derived from existing Rootes Group, the components were packaged into a pretty sports car body primarily aimed at the US. This car is a Series V, introduced in 1965, which had a new five-bearing 1,725cc engine fitted with twin Zenith-Stromberg carburettors. The Series Alpines were replaced by the Sunbeam Alpine ‘Fastback’ in 1969.In summary:1968 Sunbeam Alpine imported from South AfricaAll-original bodyworkExtensive restoration has expertly honed this highly original car

Registration - BVW 724LChassis No. - 1314759M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 50,912Rare and highly desirable, this example of Jenson’s Interceptor SP is offered at no reserve and is resplendent in Reef Blue, reportedly one of just 25 models finished in this distinctive colour scheme, with only 232 SP models produced in total. Powered by Chrysler’s 7.2-litre V8 with ‘six-pack’ carburettors, the engine made the SP not only the fastest Jensen ever at the time, but would also win in a Top Trumps battle against the likes of Ferrari’s 365 GTB/Daytona and Lamborghini’s Miura P400SV when it came to power output and torque. Matched to a three-speed automatic gearbox, ‘BVW 724L’ is beautifully presented in its Reef Blue exterior, over black leather interior, with plenty of period features, including stereo, black vinyl roof, and alloy wheels. A comprehensive file of paperwork shows that this SP has just three previous owners, and retains its original handbook, as well as a number of old MOTs, dating back to 1975. ‘BNW 724L’ is described as in ‘below average’ condition in terms of bodywork, paintwork, and interior, though a visual inspection would suggest this is a little pessimistic. It is however not running at the time of entry to the auction, and although every effort will be made to get the SP in working order before the sale, this cannot be guaranteed. Showing an indicated almost 51,000 miles on the odometer, this would be a low figure for a car more than 50 years old, and as such, is unwarranted.Offered at no reserveHigh-powered version of Jenson’s grand tourerLow indicated mileageJensen launched the Interceptor in 1966 as its touring model, hand-built at its West Bromwich factory, and resurrecting the Interceptor badge after an interval of almost a decade. Powered by a 6.3-litre Chrysler V8, with either a manual or automatic transmission, the Interceptor was designed by Carrozzeria Touring in Italy, with early models built by another Italian coach-builder - Vignale - before Jensen brought everything in house later on. The bodies were unusual in the sense that they were made from steel, where Jensen had been using glass-reinforced plastic for many years. The SP was launched in 1971 - technically without Interceptor badging - and added a ‘six-pack’ carburettor system to the new, larger capacity 7.2-litre Chrysler V8, which gave the model its ‘SP’ name, based on the Mark III Interceptor, improving on the Mark II from 1969. Production continued until 1976, with a little over 6,400 Interceptors built in total.

1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi                                Registration Number: XBC 203X Chassis Number: ZFFHA01C000038109 Recorded Mileage: 27,490 miles - Low mileage, one of only 128 RHD examples - In current ownership for 35 years - Converted to carburettor set-up (original injection system included) Enzo Ferrari’s son, Alfredino “Dino” Ferrari, had a promising career as an engineer and businessman and was poised to take over his father’s motoring empire, continuing the Ferrari legacy through the next generation. Dino gained experience working alongside some of the greatest engineers in history, such as Vittorio Jano. He is credited with the concept of the big-bore 4-cylinder 750 Monza and convincing his father of the merits of a compact V6. Sadly, he became ill and passed away at the age of twenty-four but his legacy lived on in the form of the Dino 246GT and the unbroken line of mid-engined V8 cars that continue today. Dino’s 2.4 litre twin-overhead cam V6 was a jewel of an engine. It was fitted to the first mid-engine regular production Ferrari and became the lifeblood of the brand for the next 45 years. The successor to the Dino, the mighty 308, gained two cylinders and earned a Ferrari badge. The 308 GTB/GTS became the company’s most successful model to date, selling more than 12,000 examples over a 10 year production span. As the volume leader for so many years, the 308 was often toward the bottom of the collectability scale and many suffered from poor maintenance. Properly maintained 308’s are now highly sought-after and the model is enjoying a well-deserved rise in collectability. Originally registered in October 1981 to its first UK owner, by 1989 this 308 GTBi was in stock with dealer Graypaul prior to being acquired by our vendor, an Italian classic car enthusiast. After a few years' use our vendor became frustrated with the original injection system and so had it removed and the car retrofitted with a carburetor setup using genuine Ferrari components. Further work included a fitting replacement camshaft, inlet manifold, distributor and ignition packs, upgraded oil pump pick up, and twin Bendix Red Top fuel pumps. The original injection components are included should the new owner wish to reinstate these in future.  Due to an expanded collection the Ferrari has been dry stored over the recent years, during which time the engine was rebuilt with all new bearings, gaskets, belts, fuel hoses, and is currently being run in. In the last two years the suspension has been rebuilt, the braking system overhauled including brake calipers and driveshaft bellows, and the electric window motors rebuilt. Our vendor advises us that the 308 will now benefit from paintwork attention, in particular there is rust evident at the bottom of each door. However the external and interior trim are well preserved and in very good order. The electrical system is said to work correctly, we understand though the air conditioning system will however require re-gassing following the restoration of the front radiators. Offered complete with a spare set of original wheels, and finished in the classic period colour scheme of Rosso Corsa with a crema leather interior, with a little further cosmetic attention we are sure this classic 80s Ferrari will prove to be a fine addition to any classic car collection.

1966 Ford Cortina GT                                  Registration Number: SBF 612D Chassis Number: BA78FT37898 Recorded Mileage: 78,200 miles - Rare four-door GT model - Sympathetically restored in current long-term ownership The Ford Cortina was launched in 1962 ostensibly as a replacement for the Ford Consul. The Cortina was known as ‘project archbishop’ from conception to production, being eventually named after the glamorous skiing resort. Designed by Roy Brown (of Edsel infamy) it was available in both 2 and 4 door versions, fitted with a 1200cc engine. Aimed squarely at the family market of the Morris Oxford, Vauxhall Victor and so on, it was an immediate success.  The GT version followed in 1963, with lowered suspension, wider wheels, a twin choke Weber carburettor, and front disc brakes. With a claimed power output of 78 bhp it went pretty well! Fords’ traditional motorsport involvement took a huge leap forward with the introduction of this model. With immediate success in rallying, circuit racing and other disciplines, it became the byword for motorsport success, “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday!” In current ownership since 2012, this genuine four-door Cortina is presented in very original, lightly restored condition. Upon inspection our vendor discovered he owned a very solid and straight car, and so when embarking on a thorough yet sympathetic restoration, the shell required no more than a small repair to the floor under the driver’s feet, and attention to a jacking point. Finished to its original shade of Ermine White with a black vinyl interior, this must be one of the most original and unmolested Mark 1 GTs available today. The GT is complete with original log book and current V5C, original handbook, also a file of invoices and a photographic record of restoration.

The 1955 Buick Century Riviera was a standout model in Buick's mid-century line-up, representing the brand’s push toward power and style during the golden age of American automobiles. Known for its distinctive combination of elegance and performance, the Century Riviera was marketed as a premium vehicle with a sporty edge. Under the bonnet, the 1955 Century featured a 322 cubic inch ‘nailhead’ V8 engine, delivering a powerful 236 bhp. This performance allowed the Century to achieve impressive speeds for the era. The car's performance was matched with Buick’s signature Dynaflow automatic transmission, offering a smooth driving experience. The Riviera designation indicated the top-tier hardtop coupé model, featuring a sleek, pillarless design that gave it a modern, airy feel. The chrome accents, ‘VentiPorts’ on the wings, and two-tone paint options added to its visual appeal. Inside, the Century Riviera boasted luxury appointments like plush seating, stylish trim, and advanced features for the time, such as a push-button radio. Overall, the 1955 Buick Century Riviera combined luxury, style, and speed, making it an iconic vehicle that remains admired by classic car enthusiasts today for its blend of performance and mid-century flair.This super stylish Buick epitomises American cars of the era. Big, lots of chrome and a hefty 5.3 litre V8 under the bonnet. This example has been very well cared for by the vendor. During his stewardship the carburettor has been replaced (Edelbrook 4BBL) and the gearbox was rebuilt by Tornado Automotive in July 2021. A service has been carried out and electric wiper motor fitted, the original vacuum one comes with the car. The chassis has been undersealed and the doors have been cavity waxed, the wheel arches have also been protected by stone guard. The result of this investment is a Buick Riviera that presents very well and can be enjoyed immediately. The engine starts on the button and runs with good oil pressure. All the gauges work correctly and the after-market air conditioning is in great working order. The two-tone Dover White and Cherokee Red paintwork is in good order as is the interior. The chromework, of which there is plenty, is in very good condition. This is a delightful two-door pillarless coupé which is guaranteed to attract admiring glances. Consigned by Stewart Banks.

Finished in its original colour combination of Red with black interior this example had been extensively restored in the mid 90’s, with a further £7,000 spent in parts alone over the last four years for our vendor to build a "fast road/hill climb car". The previous owner of the Midget embarked on the near three-year restoration, he stripped the car entirely and took back to bare metal with any issues of rust or corrosion, we are informed, were dealt with properly with new metal work. This included; new floors, new side sills (inner and outer), new wings (front and rear), new rear panel, new bonnet, new door skins as well as various other areas. The car was then painted in a rust proof primer, before being painted, the entire underside and wheel arches were painted with "under body Schutz" before being painted also in the body colour.Mechanically, the engine was treated to a full rebuild and the carburettor was upgraded to a Weber 40DCOE. All ancillaries were also refurbished or replaced with the brakes including pipes and hoses as well as the suspension completely rebuilt. The clutch was also replaced as was the fuel tank and pipes for new units. Outside, all the chrome was replaced, as were the rubbers and all lenses. New bumpers were fitted (subsequently removed but come with the car). The interior was treated to new carpets, new door panels, new seat covers, new gauges, as well as an entirely new wiring loom. The soft top was also replaced, as well as the frame for it. All in all, over £5,000 was spent on parts (in the early 90s!) before some 7,000 miles were completed between then 1996 and 2020.Purchased by our vendor in 2020, in his four years of ownership, he has further improved the car to how it stands today. Upgrades include a fully reconditioned five-speed type 9 Ford gearbox with short throw from Frontline, this alone was nearly £1,800 excluding labour. Frontline also supplied the roll cage, harness bar, mounting brackets and strengtheners. The radiator replaced with an aluminium unit, as well as an aluminium expansion tank, the rocker cover was replaced with an aluminium example. The suspension has been replaced with Frontline fast road shocks and springs, and the exhaust was replaced with a brand-new Peter May Maniflow system with heat wrapped manifold. The interior was not left alone, with new "Dynamat" proofing, a new carpet kit, that includes the boot, new Cobra racing seats with four-point harnesses and a new gear shifter knob. The wheels were also repainted black and fitted with a new set of Avon ZT Tyres. There is also a new roof that comes with the car but has not been fitted and a tonneau cover is in good condition.We are informed the car drives fantastically as a result, it's incredibly visceral, every journey is an event and puts a smile on your face. Supplied with a huge history file, and two photo albums depicting the restoration coupled to many of the original parts, including the gearbox, seats and bumpers.

The BMW E12 is the first-generation of the 5 Series executive cars, which was produced from 1972 to 1981 and replaced the saloon models of the BMW New Class range. Initial models were powered by inline-four engines, using either a carburettor or fuel-injection. A year after launch, the first model powered by a straight-six engine was introduced. By the final years of E12 production, most models used a straight-six engine. The E12 was replaced by the E28 5 Series in 1981, although the tools were sent to South Africa where E12 assembly continued until 1984.Presented in yellow with beige interior trim this example was first registered on 27th February 1979. Imported from South Africa our vendor has fitted a Webber twin choke and had the car tuned by DB Engineering in Newington. The car comes with its original twin Solex carbs and airbox. Offered with a part history, with sensible mileage for a car 45 years old, it is MoT and Tax exempt. Consigned by Mathew PriddyGuide Price £7,000-£10,000

The Volkswagen Beetle has been most commonly used as the basis for the beach buggy, though conversions were made from other rear-engined cars. The Beetle platform chassis was used because the rear engine layout improves traction, the air-cooled engine avoids the complexities and failure points associated with a water-cooled engine, the Beetle's front torsion bar suspension was not only considered cheap and robust, but it was also extremely easy to alter and adjust its ride-height. While early dune buggy conversions were left with no body, or featured custom bodies, fibreglass bodies, developed in the 1960s, have become the standard image of the modern buggy, and come in many shapes and sizes.This fabulous short wheelbase Volkswagen JAS Beach Buggy by JAS is presented in purple with contrasting black trim. Boasting a 1300cc engine this four/five-seater also includes a removable hardtop for practicality, as practical as a beach buggy can be of course! Fun is the real reason you purchase a beach buggy and this JAS was believed to be built by JAS themselves at the factory, sitting on deep dish chrome wheels with good chunky tyres all round and ‘General Grabber’ tyres to the rear. The history file includes some invoices and our vendor informs us that recent works all undertaken for this summer include a complete fuel system overhaul including tank flush, filters and new lines and pump, the genuine Solex carburettor has been rebuilt and new ignition leads and plugs fitted. The exhaust has been heat treated, a new fan belt and battery fitted alongside recent new shock absorbers and an oil service so in his words ‘ready to go and starts runs and drives great’. The condition is generally lovely inside, outside and underneath. Supplied with current V5C, two keys and registered as an historic vehicle, this terrific value Beach Buggy is ready to be enjoyed for the remainder of this summer and the next and is guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s face!

The Ford Capri was manufactured from 1969 through to 1986. It was designed by American, Philip T. Clark, who was famous for being one of the main designers of the Ford Mustang. Using the mechanical components from the Cortina and intended as the European equivalent of the Mustang for the European markets, the Capri went on to be a highly successful car for Ford and sold nearly 1.9 million units in its lifetime. A wide variety of engines were used in the Capri, throughout its production lifespan, which most notably included the Essex and Cologne V6 engines at the top of the range, whilst the Kent straight-four and Pinto engines were used in lower specification models. Although the Capri was not officially replaced by any Ford model, the second-generation Probe was effectively its replacement after the later car's introduction to the European market in 1992.This wonderful slice of 80’s nostalgia was first registered on 2nd January 1981, finished in white with the iconic decals with contrasting Recaro seats trimmed in Carla fabric with Savannah fabric surrounds and fishnet headrests, which we believe were only available on the S model. Privately owned and cherished, this example has had recent inlet manifold and rocker cover gaskets, the carburettor stripped and overhauled, new HT leads and electronic distributor as part of a recommissioning for this summer. Much of the car is wonderfully original despite having benefitted from a repaint some 10 years ago. Features such as original spare wheel and even tyre can be found inspecting the body, which is very good. The V5 shows just four previous keepers and with the odometer displaying just 63,000 miles, this is a desirable example that should hold values well. For many a dad in the 70s and 80s, the Capri was the ultimate choice – they were sporty, pretty cool and practical (enough) this is a perfect way to relive those days whether you were lucky enough or not.

A 1912 Austin 15 Tourer (Right hand drive), with coachwork by Austin, Registration No. YJ 691. The coachwork is finished in attractive mid blue, Chassis/Engine No. 5865, 2,840 cc., a V5C is present, the existing Registration number having been allocated on 13/03/2013, (she apparently previously had the South African Registration HX 7536). She was acquired by the family in 1993, having been re-imported from South Africa and has been the subject of an ongoing restoration since that time. Work has been carried out to the body-work, the woodwork, the upholstery/trim and also mechanical work, including to the engine, which is of the later, more powerful design with individual "T Head" cylinders on a cast iron crankcase painted to resemble aluminium. It is understood that one of the cylinders (No. 2) required replacing and one was removed from a spare engine and assembled to the crankcase, thus explaining why one is of a differing colour. The Information Folder includes correspondence in 1993 with the D.V.L.A. regarding the registration, a photocopy of an extract from The Car, Oct 26, 1910 - "A Day at the Austin Works", a photocopy of Instructions for the 15 h.p. Car and various invoices including for new (steel spoked) wheels in 2011. Whilst the family have run the engine and driven a short distance around their home, they will understandably be feeling disappointed that they never had the chance to experience that first great adventure on the open road.

Very well presented RS2000 Custom in Diamond White and benefiting from an older restoration. It was back in 1970 that Ford introduced their Rally Sport models - the RS range. Originally designed as a way of building limited numbers of homologation specials for serious competition use, it soon grew into a major marketing opportunity and one that Ford grabbed with both hands. By 1976, when the RS2000 Mk2 was launched, the term 'RS' had grown to mean something a bit special.Unlike the Mk1 Escort which was designed by Ford of Great Britain, the Mk2 was a much more sophisticated design that was jointly developed with Ford of Germany. Based on a standard Mk2 two-door saloon shell, the RS2000 used the familiar 2-litre, inline four-cylinder, SOHC Pinto engine mounted longitudinally in the bay driving the rear wheels. A single, twin-venturi 32/36 DGAV Weber carburettor was fitted with the option of a 'Group 1' dual Weber 40DCNF or IDF set up. The front suspension used independent MacPherson struts with an anti-roll bar and, at the rear, traditional leaf springs with telescopic dampers were utilised. Front-mounted discs and rear drums were used and 4-spoke alloy wheels came as standard. Its biggest distinguishing feature was a 'droop snoot' polyurethane nose housing four headlamps which gave it a rather aggressive look. The new car was capable of 110mph with 0-60mph taking 8.9 seconds, not too shabby in 1976 and which, combined with the car's distinctive looks and that shiny RS badge, set Ford's showroom doors swinging.In late 1978, the Custom Pack became an option and included Fishnet Recaro seats, full door cards, clock and pod centre console, 6J x 13" alloys, boot carpet, remote drivers door mirror and the back panel around the rear lights was painted black.The subject of an older restoration and now offered from long term ownership, this particular Escort RS2000 Custom has clearly been cherished over the years and still presents extremely well today. Finished in Diamond White with a black interior, the colour scheme beloved by Blue Oval aficionados, the Escort has now been enhanced with a rear disc brake conversion in place of the original drums and the suspension has been upgraded.In recent years, the RS has been in safe and secure storage but has been cared for as required and we are told that it is running and driving well, ready for its next custodian to use and enjoy as intended. Unfortunately there is little paper work to accompany the car but we do suggest that the quality speaks for itself and welcome your early inspection to satisfy yourself as to the opportunity on offer.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS2000 Year: 1979 Chassis Number: GCATWE00308 Registration Number: SBT 326T Transmission: Manual Engine Number: WE00308 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 66926 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A Very Special Roadster. Recreated in the 1990s with coachwork and interior of the highest quality set on a fully rebuilt, straight-six powered, rolling chassis.  Rover's Model 14 was launched in 1934 on a lengthened underslung chassis retaining its predecessor's 1,577cc, six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine. The new frame enabled the adoption of lowline bodies, and attractive 'streamline' versions of both saloon and coupé. Specification included a 4-speed gearbox with freewheel, Lockheed brakes, Luvax-Bijur automatic lubrication and electric windscreen wipers. Offered in sports saloon, coupé and open tourer versions, the '80mph from the factory' Speed 14 was powered by a tuned engine incorporating 'specially streamlined ports and manifolds' and a high-compression cylinder head.This particular Rover 14 was built in Coventry and registered in 1935 as AVC 88, the number it still retains today. It was originally finished as a four-door saloon with the desirable 1,577cc straight-six mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and was sold by Huxley Sales & Service of Albany Road, Earlsdon with a dashboard plaque confirming this. During its time as a saloon, it was owned at one point by Peter Rowntree of confectionery fame with some documentation in the file to confirm this. The car was given a new lease of life in the mid to late-1990s when the then owner decided to re-create a period Derby Bentley-style, two-seat roadster which, as can be seen from our images, he achieved with great vision and attention to detail. Having sketched out what he hoped the car would look like, he engaged the services of Vintage Carriages of Shaw, Oldham who stripped the car back and built by hand the Ash-framed rear body covered with aluminium. The result was rather elegant, reminiscent of late-1930s Roadsters from the leading coachbuilders of the period. The work was photo documented and all the relevant technical details of the conversion are in the car’s history file with a list of costs which in today’s money would be probably in excess of £60,000. The file also contains many receipts for work done, parts bought and old MOTs etc. giving the Roadster some great provenance.More recently, the engine was refreshed by our fastidious engineer vendor with a head-off, top-end rebuild. New rocker shafts, valves refaced or new, seats cut, lapped and leak tested. Carburettor, distributor, and ignition system rebuilt with new key components. The engine runs like a straight six should. It presents really well, finished in British Racing Green with a lovely Apple Green leather interior and Olive Green carpets. There is a recent new hood and a perfect tonneau cover with side screens available as well. The car now also benefits from an overdrive unit on fourth gear, fitted seat-belts and a heater.This lovely Rover Special has had much success in local Concours d'Elegance and a number of those trophies will remain with the car. We invite and encourage your viewing of this one-off Model 14 Roadster and feel sure it won’t disappoint.Specification Make: ROVER Model: 14HP ROADSTER SPECIAL Year: 1935 Chassis Number: 524059 Registration Number: AVC 88 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 623709 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 22500 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Green LeatherClick here for more details and images

A rare and desirable 'First Series' short-door Spider in outstanding condition following a $130,000 restoration by VRM in the US. Alfa Romeo's Giulietta Spider was among the many fruitful ideas of Max Hoffman, the astute and influential importer whose keen understanding of the American market birthed legends like the Porsche 356 Speedster, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, BMW 507, and introduced the Volkswagen Beetle to the USA. Hoffman counted Alfa Romeo in his portfolio and he persuaded the firm to offer a new two-seat Spider variant of the superb new mid-sized Giulietta, explicitly geared for American tastes with a new Pininfarina-penned body. His instincts proved correct, and the Giulietta, particularly in high-performance Veloce specification, spawned multiple generations of beloved open-topped Alfas.It was powered by a 65bhp1,290cc four-cylinder fuelled by a single Solex carburettor and featured two chain-driven overhead CAMSHAFTS. The Spider was rear-wheel drive with drum brakes on all four wheels and the front suspension was independent with deformable wishbones, coil springs, hydraulic telescopic dampers and an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension was a traditional rigid axle, guided by longitudinal arms and reaction triangle, again with coil springs and hydraulic telescopic dampers. In 1956, they produced the so-called 'first series' (series '750 D in the 'normal' version and '750 F' in the 'Veloce') and in late 1958, the ‘second series’ was introduced with a number of changes including a lengthened wheelbase, however nowadays, the Giulietta Spider 'Passo Corto' (short door) models are the most desired and sought after amongst collectors.On offer here is an absolutely stunning 'first-series' Giulietta Spider Veloce (750F) that, according to its 'Certifcato do Origine', was produced on 31st July 1958 and was destined for the US-market (New York). Its current, UK-based owner is a true classic car connoisseur with decades worth of owning and collecting experience and he was attracted to this particular car as it was a 'short-door', finished in his favourite colour (Mouse Grey) and was owned by the knowledgeable and much-respected Jim Sullivan, Chairman of the Pacific North West Alfa Club. After his purchase in 2015, our vendor commissioned Vintage Racing Motors (VRM) to carry out a full restoration which they did over a period of time. The whole process was photo documented and the car is unquestionably finished to a higher standard than when it left the factory. The appropriate invoices remain in the file and total around  $130,000, meaning that our vendor's investment in this remarkable little Giulietta amounts to over $200,000.In the interest of pure driving pleasure, a period-correct 5-speed gearbox was fitted at the time, however the original 'tunnel' gearbox is included with the car and available to inspect at Silverstone over The Festival weekend. Once the work was finished, the Alfa was sent here to the UK, registered in 2021 and has been enjoyed immensely. It will be serviced by marque specialist Chris Robinson prior to the sale.  This is a unique opportunity to acquire a rare Alfa Romeo that has been restored to an extraordinary standard and we encourage interested parties to come and see the car at Silverstone. It will not disappoint.Specification Make: ALFA ROMEO Model: GIULIETTA SPIDER VELOCE Year: 1959 Chassis Number: 149504580 Registration Number: GKZ 25 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 131531574 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 72372 KM Make: Only LHD Interior Colour: Red leatherClick here for more details and images

This little 1,584cc Fulvia HF (now registered as a Rallye HF) would make a perfect first time entry into the world of historic rallies. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963, Lancia’s little Fulvia was as intriguing and ambitious as it was innovative, swapping rear-wheel drive for a more advanced front-wheel drive, embracing Lancia's DOHC V4 engine. Starting with a modest 57bhp but evolving to a sturdy 130bhp, its variants, especially the Coupés, gained fame for their rallying prowess. An undeniably underappreciated icon in the history books of Italian automotive successes.The Fulvia marked Lancia’s glorious and victorious return to motorsport, carving a niche in the rallying scene, paving the way for an era of dominance in the World Rally Championship far from the spotlight hogged by its successors – the Stratos, O37 and Delta Integrale. It is often forgotten that it was the Fulvia that earned the distinction of winning Lancia's first World Rally title in 1972.This particular Fulvia was rebuilt as a rally car in 2017 having started its life as a standard 1.3 (1,300cc). It's now powered by a 1,600cc engine fitted with twin-Weber 45 carbs, work-spec cams, Arrow conrods, a balanced crank, Mangoletsi intake manifold and carburettor linkage and a 'Group 4' manifold/free-flow exhaust, recently set up and dyno-tested by Stanton Motorsports. It's a Fulvia HF body (steel construction with aluminium bonnet, boot, and doors) registered as a Rallye HF. The interior is as basic as one would expect, stripped back to save weight and fitted with a roll cage, two Recaro bucket seats, racing harnesses and fire extinguishers.Upon its conversion to rally-spec, the car was maintained by its owner's in-house mechanic, who carried out all repairs, modifications, servicing and pre-event spanner checks. Recent work included stripping the engine and gearbox for check-overs and refurbing with fresh gaskets.Cosmetically, as is to be expected with a competition car, there are some dents and imperfections, however there are no major sightings of rust except for some light surface tarnishing where the paint has chipped.Lancia-based rally cars have traditionally been expensive, however this little Fulvia seems like tremendous value. It’s a well raced and ready-to-go example of Lancia's legendary rally car.Specification Make: LANCIA Model: FULVIA RALLYE HF Year: 1968 Chassis Number: 81833112492 Registration Number: TBL 82G Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 8185402286651 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 68389 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Registration - VSY 428Chassis No. - ARR252597M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 14,072Characterful and captivating in deep green over black bodywork, this example of Austin’s Seven is offered at No Reserve. Fitted with a Reliant 747cc over-head valve four-cylinder engine, this is matched to a four-speed manual gearbox, with plenty of work carried out on the powertrain over the past few years. The cabin matches the exterior colour scheme, with green leather seats, green door cards and trim, and black carpets and dashboard, with the two-door saloon’s patinated dashboard clearly original.Owned by the seller for the past four years, ‘VSY 428’ has only had nine registered keepers over the last 89 years. The vendor is only selling due to space, and describes the Seven as starting and driving fine, ‘just requiring some TLC with the body’. As such, they describe the bodywork, paint, and interior as in ‘average’ condition, while the engine, transmission, and electrics are considered ‘good’. This would reflect the recent work undertaken, which includes a new carburettor, starter motor, distributor cap, spark plugs, oil filter, choke cable, accelerator cable, battery cables and terminals, fuel pipe, bonnet catch, and brake lights. Showing an indicated 14,000 miles, it essentially hasn’t moved in the past 15 years according to previous MOT reports.Offered at No ReserveDesirable and drivable Austin SevenIdeal project car without requiring an overhaulHaving started out life building larger models, company founder Sir Herbert Austin started work on designing a smaller car in 1920. The ideas was to build a smaller, more affordable family car, inspired by the Horsepower Tax of 1921, and two years later, having styled the car largely himself, and had it engineered by an 18-year old draughtsman called Stanley Edge – who persuaded Austin to use a compact four-cylinder petrol engine – the Seven was ready. Producing 7.2 hp, it was built on an A-frame chassis influenced by American trucks, and the styling took inspiration from Peugeot. Almost 2,500 units were produced in the first year of production, not as many as initially hoped for, but demand picked up quickly, and by the end of production in 1939, almost 300,000 cars and vans had rolled out of the factory.

Registration - FJ07 UOXChassis No. - ULT1MA246354M.O.T. - TBCOdometer - 7,960Head-turning in bright yellow, this example of Ultima’s Can-Am GTR is a true racing car for the road. Beyond the Martini-inspired racing stripes, this factory-built open-top Ultima is fitted with a 6.3-litre small-block Chevrolet V8, producing 550hp when new. Originally using a Holley Quick Fuel 850 carburettor, the unit has been upgraded in 2022 to fuel injection with the Holley Sniper Stealth system, boosting power to 620hp from the mid-mounted 1972 Chevy 396 V8. Also featuring an Accusump oil accumulator, AP Racing brakes, and Porsche 996 six-speed manual transmission, ‘FJ07 UOX’ is ready for the track. Finally, the Can-Am GTR’s track-focused credentials are rounded out by the inclusion of Protech dual-adjustment shocks, Odyssey racing battery, Ultima carbon-fibre rear wing, side scoops, and side pod storage, and new tyres fitted all-round. There are a few comfort features however, including factory-fitted air conditioning, Alcantara upholstery on the seats, dashboard, and doors, and factory Ultima mohair hood. Having just two previous owners in its 17-year past, ‘FJ07 UOX’ is beautifully presented, and described by the vendor as in 'immaculate' condition throughout; the engine, transmission, electrics, interior, paint, and bodywork are all rated as ‘excellent’. The odometer shows just 7,960 (unwarranted) miles, which is a very low figure, even for a model designed for occasional use, and the Can-Am GTR comes with paperwork showing £119,000 worth of build invoices. Established in 1983 by acclaimed motorsport engineer Lee Noble - who also founded Noble Automotive - the aim of the Ultima MkI, was to bring a Group C Le Mans car to the road; it was followed by the MkII, and then MkIII, before rights to the build the car were bought in 1992 by Ted and Richard Marlow who established the Ultima Sports name. Famously, two Ultima MkIIIs were used by McLaren to help develop the McLaren F1 - called Albert and Edward by engineers - one to test the gearbox and central driving position, and the other as test mule for the BMW V12 engine. 15 years later, McLaren again went to Ultima, using a GTR as a test mule for the MP4-12C’s suspension and brake systems. As indicators of engineering expertise go, there are few better. All models are designed to be supplied in kit form, though they are also available as factory-built models for the European market. The hard-top GTR went into production in 1998, before the open-top Can-Am GTR convertible was made available in 2000. Regular development continued until 2014-15, when Ultima worked on a replacement model for both the GTR and Can-Am GTR - the Evo. In summary:· Factory-built example of Ultima’s open-top track-focused model· Low-mileage Can-Am GTR with uprated engine· Features factory-fitted extras including carbon-fibre wing and side scoops

Registration - NNJ 920MChassis No - TBCM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 71,441A rare opportunity to obtain a genuine barn-find piece of Italian craftsmanship, this example of Lancia’s Pininfarina-designed 2000 Coupe is presented in blue, even if it is dusty. Powered by Lancia’s 2.0-litre straight-four engine, connected to a five-speed manual gearbox with dog-leg first, ‘NNJ 920M’ has the performance potential to match contemporary sports coupes. The interior of the two-door coupe is in a similar neglected state to the exterior, but features burgundy leather seats and a wood veneer dashboard, with two-spoke Lancia steering wheel. Dry-stored for more than 20 years, ‘NNJ 920M’ has been dry-stored for more than 20 years, having been gifted to the vendor by a friend of the family who was an avid car collector. An original right-hand drive model, the 2000 Coupe shows more than indicated 71,000 miles indicated on the odometer; though these are unwarranted, it is not an unusual figure for a car that’s more than 50 years old, even if it hasn’t been driven for twenty of them. Highly original, ‘NNJ 920M’ even includes features such as the correct 14-inch Cromodora magnesium alloy wheels, with original stickers in place, and chassis plates. Clearly not in the best of conditions, the vendor describes the Lancia 2000 Coupe as being in ‘poor’ condition in terms of the engine, transmission, electrics, and interior, though the bodywork and paintwork are reckoned to be ‘below average’. Offered at no reserve, ‘NNJ 920M’ represents an ideal project vehicle. Produced from 1971, the Lancia 2000 Coupe was a two-door version of the 2000 saloon. While the saloon was designed in-house by Piero Castagnero - of Lancia Fulvia Coupe fame - the coupe was penned by Pininfarina. The 2000 Coupe was offered in standard and HF configurations, with a sleeker, more sporting stance than the saloon. The 2000 used a 2.0-litre engine with a carburettor, while the HF features the same unit, but with electronic fuel injection; both had a five-speed manual. Production ran until 1975, by which time around 2,500 units had been made, before being replaced by the Lancia Gamma. In summary:Offered at no reserveGenuine barn find prospect for restorationHighly original and presented with period features
