Registration No: 704 YUJ Chassis No: 41059 MOT: ExemptCreated by the previous owner for use in VSCC trials and speed eventsExtremely attractive aluminium bodied special built by Chris ComptonFitted with Wade R020 superchargerOffered with a collection of invoices and current V5C documentBetween 1933 and 1938 triumph produced a large, if somewhat confusing, range of excellent sporting Saloons, Coupes and Tourers under the Gloria moniker. All but the final iterations were powered by engines of four or six-cylinders, that were of overhead inlet / side exhaust valve configuration designed by Coventry Climax and modified and manufactured by Triumph. They drove through a manual four-speed gearbox supplied by ENV. The model was developed by new recruit Donald Healey and did more than any other to establish Triumph as the producer of quality sporting motorcars. The adopted name of Gloria is rumoured to have been that of a Selfridge's fashion model who featured in some early publicity shots of the mark.Created by the previous owner between 2011-2012, for use in VSCC trials and speed events, this is an extremely attractive aluminium bodied Triumph Gloria Special, fitted with a Wade R020 supercharger and built by Chris Compton of Compton’s of Welshpool, known for the repair and restoration of Alvis’ for over 40 years and with a reputation for his craftsmanship. Finished in Grey and complemented by Black spoked wheels, the Special is VSCC registered.Regarding the build, there’s a handwritten invoice note on file for £6,041 for the work to create the Special, that also states that other components were sourced elsewhere, such as the Beaulieu Autojumble and builder Chris Compton. The notes states the chassis as having been sourced from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club, the body made by Compton, as well as the trim by him and the supply of the wheels was from Compton’s own stock. Electrics, instruments, distributor, dynamo, fan, carburettor, fuel pump were hand-picked from Beaulieu. There are a number of images on file that show some parts of the build. Mechanically, there is a £2232.60 invoice dated 16th August 2010 from The Coventry Boring and Metalling Co. Ltd that relates to work to have the Coventry Climax blocked stitched, machined to fit liners, crankshaft re-ground, conrods remetalled, main bearings remetalled and the flywheel refaced. A Derek Chinn Precision Engineering invoice dated 10th April 2012 for £3,059.95 details work to overhaul the Wade R020 supercharger. There is a further invoice for £430 on file dated 14th February 2011 from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club Ltd for the purchase of an engine block, crank, cam and crank shafts, gearbox and manifold.This Chris Compton built supercharged Special was bought to trial, however, a change of circumstances means a reluctant sale for the vendor. The Special is offered at the sale with a collection of invoices, photographs on file and a current V5C Registration Document. There is also a collection of spares available by separate negotiation.

Registration No: Unregistered (formerly EGE 675C) Chassis No: M/A2S4S/294488 MOT: ExemptFirst registered in Glasgow and reputedly rallied by its first ownerCampaigned by Gerard Paton and Gerard McCosh in the 1973 Shell Oils / The Scotsman Rally ChampionshipLast driven in anger on the 1973 Tour of Mull from which it retired with the offside front wing damage it still sports todaySpeedwell goodies, 998cc twin-carb engine, rollcage, internal fuel lines, Works-style dash etcIn need of total restoration or leave as is for displaySupplied new in Glasgow (or its now defunct number plate ‘EGE 675C’ would imply), this battle-scarred Mini is rumoured to have been a competition car all its life. Still sporting a decal for the 1973 Scottish Rally Championship to its roof, the diminutive saloon is known to have contested that year’s Tour of Mull as car number ‘88’ with driver Gerard Paton and co-driver Gerard McCosh aboard. Unfortunately, the two Gerards’ efforts were curtailed by a collision which resulted in the damage still visible to the old warhorse’s offside front wing. Not driven in anger since, the Morris is a fascinating time capsule with its bolted-in rollcage, internally-routed fuel lines, auxiliary Speedwell gauges, bolstered front seats, Works-style dashboard extensions and 7,000rpm red-lined tacho etc. Competing in the 1-litre class, the Mini is fitted with a Riley-branded, twin carburettor-fed A-Series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. The presence of a September 1964 dated window wiper motor suggests that the abused bodyshell might possibly be original. Substantially complete, the Mini requires total restoration or could be left in its current state as a fascinating display piece.

Registration No: UJB 664G Chassis No: VAS2/21878M MOT: ExemptJust 78,000 recorded and credible miles on the odometerSignificantly improved while in current ownershipBenefitting from a full engine overhaul in 2021 with minimal mileage sinceHandbook, workshop manuals and a box of spares included in the saleInspired by a bespoke Morris 1100 that Fred Connolly had commissioned from coachbuilder-turned-manufacturer Vanden Plas, BMC tasked its Kingsbury-based subsidiary with replicating Mr. Connolly’s car to gauge public reaction at the October 1963 Earls Court Motor Show. Sporting a revised radiator grille, two-tone Green paint, and sumptuous Champagne Beige leather and walnut veneer interior, the resultant machine attracted a deluge of enquiries. Entering production in April 1964, the Vanden Plas Princess 1100 boasted a twin-carburettor 1100cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, front disc brakes, and Hydrolastic interconnected suspension. Priced at £896 (£195 more than the MG 1100 with which it shared a powerplant), the newcomer also featured a West of England cloth headlining, Wilton carpets, reading lights, rear picnic tables and individual folding front seat armrests. In an age of coachbuilt Minis by Wood & Pickett and Radford etc, the Vanden Plas, with its ‘shrunken Rolls-Royce’ cabin, proved a strong seller, with the 1300 version launched in Autumn 1967.Manufactured in 1969, the Vanden Plas offered was road registered on the 17th April that year. Finished in Midnight Blue paintwork with a complementary Grey leather interior upholstery, the Princess boasts options such as the four-speed automatic transmission and heated rear windscreen. Offered for auction now having a recorded mileage of c.78,000 credible miles, ‘UJB 664G’ was lavished with a full engine overhaul by Kingsthorpe Precision Engineering in 2021 to the sum of c.£3,700 in total and has covered minimal mileage since its completion (approximately 500 miles). Other notable works have included a full new carpet set in 2020, and in the last year, a new exhaust, carburettor, fuel pump and cosmetic improvements, as well as refurbished wheels with five new tyres and servicing. Offered with a history file containing a collection of invoices and a current V5C document showing eight former keepers.

Registration No: AGC 496 Chassis No: GAW 36 MOT: ExemptSupplied with a healthy history files with chassis cards, invoices for maintenance and moreDescribed as 'a well-maintained' example with matching chassis and engine numbersFeatured in Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club Magazine - 1978 and 1991Subject to an extensive engine overhaulThe Rolls-Royce 20/25 was built between 1929 and 1936 and succeeded the 20hp as Rolls-Royce's "small car". It was intended to appeal to owner drivers, but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs. The in-line 6-cylinder overhead valve engine was similar to that used in the 20hp but was enlarged to 3699cc by increasing the bore from 76mm to 82mm with the stroke remaining at 114mm. A single Rolls-Royce carburettor was used and both coil and magneto ignitions were fitted. The four-speed gearbox was mounted in unit with the engine and a traditional right hand change used. Synchromesh was fitted to third and top gears from 1932. The substantial chassis had rigid front and rear axles suspended by half elliptic springs with braking on all four wheels assisted by a mechanical servo. Separate rear brakes were fitted for the handbrake. The famous Rolls-Royce radiator with triangular top was used with vertical louvres, the angle of which could be adjusted to control engine cooling. To begin with, the radiator shutters were operated manually via a lever on the dash with later cars fitted with automatic control via a thermostat. The larger engine allowed the top speed to increase to but many owners had large limousine bodies fitted to the chassis with the predictable decline in performance. As far back as the 1880’s, Thrupp & Maberly began its move from making horse-drawn carriages to car bodies. By the spring of 1897, Thrupp & Maberly held the British licence for the Duryea Motor Wagon. More commissions followed and the business grew, leading to large numbers of bodies for staff cars being made during World War I. After the war, Thrupp & Maberly produced a range of bespoke bodies for up-market British and European marques and in 1924, they moved to new premises in Cricklewood, London, but kept a showroom in North Audley Street which in 1925, was bought by the Rootes brothers. Thrupp & Maberly remained a prestige coachbuilder, concentrating on luxury bodies for Rolls-Royce, Daimler and Bentley automobiles and in 1929, they built the body for Sir Henry Segrave's land speed record car, the Golden Arrow.Known as ‘Lady Primrose’, this is a 1932 Rolls Royce D-Back Limousine with coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly. A delightful example of early ‘30s luxury motoring it is said to have been 'well-maintained' with matching chassis and engine numbers. It has featured in the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club Magazine 1978 and 1991. Purchased by the current owner in 2021 it has since received an engine overhaul including new white-metal bearings and a balanced crankshaft assembly. A new aluminium cylinder head is also present, accompanying a recently rebuilt water pump and Calorstat. It also benefits from the addition of an over-drive fitted by Ben Smith Restorations. Ben Smith has looked after maintenance for many years and in this time has compiled several reports, including a large photo album of restoration.A regular participant of overseas trips, many with the RREC, before 1997 the Limousine resided on Guernsey. It was here that the Primrose Yellow coachwork was acquired, together with some additional restoration work also detailed in the file. The 'occasional seats' were also removed and a drinks cabinet fabricated, however, the seats are included in the sale. The interior is very tidy, with the fawn cloth to the rear seat and headlining in almost excellent condition. Sound deadening has also been added under the carpets. Tools also included are for the removal and refitting of the Ace wheel discs, the wheel hub spanner and jack. The large Lucas P100 head lamps with foot operated dipping solenoids are fitted and calibrated with modern improved halogen bulbs to aid night driving whilst the side lights use an MG B hazard repeater, utilising them as indicators, as well as the working trafficators. Floating along on soft suspension, this is a car to be used and enjoyed. Supplied with a V5C, a healthy history file – including journey logs, chassis cards, invoices for maintenance, extensive restoration and engine overhaul documentation, copies of the magazines in which it has featured and the 'occasional seats'.

Registration No: DVU 709C Chassis No: 325000807 MOT: ExemptLong-term family ownership since 1993Successful 'club rally car' with awards on fileDesirable Series V modelFitted with performance upgradesAnnounced at the London Motor Show of 1955, the Sunbeam Rapier was the first of a new range of Rootes cars that was to include the Hillman Minx and the Singer Gazelle. A complete departure from the Sunbeam MKIII it replaced, it was a modern-looking two-door, four-seater Coupe with such standard equipment as leather trim and overdrive. The bodies were built by Pressed Steel, shipped to Thrupp & Maberly in London for painting and trimming, and then moved to the Rootes plant at Ryton-on-Dunsmore for final assembly. Though initially a little underpowered, the Rapier had inherently excellent handling and was quickly adopted for rallying. Indeed, the launch of the Series II version took place at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally in which Peter Harper's Works Rapier had finished fifth overall. Over its twenty-one year reign, the model progressed through five series, the swansong being the Series V derivative introduced in 1965. Though visually almost identical to its predecessor, it was notable for its larger, five-bearing engine of 1725cc capacity. Just 3,759 Series Vs were built, making it the rarest of all versions of the model.‘DVU 709C’ is a Desirable Series V 1725cc Rapier, originally registered in Manchester and finished in Autumn Gold with a contrasting Black interior. In current ownership since 1993 and subsequently prepared to be used as a ‘club rally car,’ being extensively campaigned by the vendor and his wife since, with many successes (evidenced in history file). Subject of restoration works over the years, including an engine rebuild, bodywork restoration and bare metal repaint, it’s been fitted with sensible ‘performance‘ upgrades including a Weber carburettor, brake servo, Kenlowe fan, roll cage, Lotus Cortina 5 1/2J steel wheels etc, in addition to ‘Halda’ timing equipment. The paperwork file includes a number of ‘rally’ awards, original Rootes warranty card and dealer’s handbook. The vendor describes ‘DVU 709C’ as ‘in good running order’ and says that he hopes the new owner will have as much enjoyment for years to come as both he and his wife have had over the last 30 years!PLEASE NOTE: Vehicle has recently been started and is reported to be running well but requires a new battery and possible a starter motor overhaul.

Registration No: KSJ 164 Chassis No: S834794DN MOT: ExemptSupplied new to the USA in Fixed Head Coupé form and later reworked to right-hand drive Drophead Coupé configurationUprated to 3.8 litre, triple carburettor 'S' specification and fitted with a five-speed gearboxPreviously fitted 3.4 litre XK engine unit included in salePurchased by the current owner for £75,000 from Graeme Hunt LtdThe 1950s saw Jaguar win the world's greatest endurance race - the Le Mans 24-hours - more times (five) than any other manufacturer. A blend of existing and new technology, the XK150 was the Coventry firm's last model to feature a separate chassis but its first to be available with four-wheel disc brakes. Unveiled in 1959, the range-topping 3.8 litre 'S' could be had in Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe or Drophead Coupe guises (the latter being the most expensive). With a quoted 265bhp and 260lbft of torque on tap thanks to its straight-port cylinder head and triple SU carburettors, Jaguar's flagship sportscar could only be had with four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 141mph, its performance was on a par with rival Aston Martin, Maserati and Ferrari offerings.According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate supplied with the history file, chassis number S834794DN was first supplied via Jaguar Cars, USA specified in left-hand drive Fixed Head Coupé form. Little is known of the early history of the Jaguar, however it is understood to have been imported to the UK in 1990 and would remain in project state until it was sold by The Carriage Company of Silsoe, Beds in 1996 to a Mr Woodward of Royston. The Carriage Company was also given the task of the restoration for which there are a plethora of invoices on file between 1997 and 1998 which total approximately £40,000. During this period, not only was a bare-chassis overhaul performed, but the interior was re-trimmed, the 3.4 Litre engine was rebuilt, suspension and brakes overhauled and other components were upgraded including the fitment of power steering, a five-speed gearbox and triple carburettors.Fast forward to 2011 and via a further keeper, the car was purchased by the current owner, Mr G. Lucas MBE. During his ownership, the car was fitted with a 3.8 Litre engine with 'straight port' cylinder head, although the 3.4 litre unit accompanies the car to the sale. Unfortunately, Mr Lucas' health condition is such that his family have opted to sell the Jaguar with the last job that he did, being to strip the sump off to check the bearings which wasn't completed, and as such is presented in non-running condition.Upon inspection, we noted that the XK has been very well cared for prior to Mr Lucas' health decline. Although in non-running state currently, it should be an easy task to return the car to tip-top mechanical condition. The bodywork has also survived well, thanks to dry storage, however it should be noted that there are some scratches and bubbling in small areas that may need addressing. 'KSJ 164' is a fabulous opportunity for any enthusiast to return to a running order and use as a true drivers' car in line with its healthy specification.

Registration No: CUF 202C Chassis No: VRS33173 MOT: Exempt1 of just c.6,555 examples madeOffered with an extensive history fileDisplaying only c.36,000 credible milesFirst registered in April 1965. Supplied new by Stringers of BrightonAnnounced in August 1964, the Princess 4-Litre R featured a Rolls-Royce, all-aluminium, 175bhp engine enabling an unusually high power-to-weight ratio enabling cruising at 90mph and a top speed in period of 112mph. The engine was the product of over two years of technical collaboration between BMC and Rolls-Royce. Twin SU carburettors were fitted, both the cylinder block and head were aluminium, tappets were hydraulic self-adjusting operating on overhead valves configuration and the counter-balanced crankshaft ran in seven main bearings, reducing vibration. Pricing aimed at challenging the MkX Jaguar was a major change of market positioning, aiming at growth in the prestige and executive market segments of Europe and the United States. The 4.0 R was luxurious with polished walnut fascia, padded top and bottom, fully reclinable leather seats and polished picnic tables for the rear passengers. A new automatic transmission was provided by Borg-Warner; its first use in a British car, and Hydrosteer variable-ratio power steering accompanied wider tyres.Purchased on 22nd April 1965, ‘CUF’ was supplied new by Stringers of Brighton as one of just c.6,555 examples produced. A Mr Letts of Brighton was the registered keeper until his passing in 1985 and the transfer of ownership to a family member who kept it until 2011. The car was in storage from 1992 until 2010, at which point it was put back on the road. Recommissioned with a brake overhaul, new fuel tank and a carburettor overhaul, bodywork restoration and a repaint commenced sometime in early 2012. ‘CUF’ then passed into the custodianship of subsequent owners from Southampton to Southport before coming to our vendor in June 2019 with some mechanical fettling initiated.The 4-Litre has only covered some 36,000 credible miles from new, with some 30 old MOTs on record in the history file and receipts dating back to 1968, going some way to verify the very low mileage. The 4-Litre has clocked up only some 1,024 miles in the last 13 years, according to the DVSA records. ‘CUF’ is offered with an extensive history file, an original brochure and a booklet for the original Radiomobile radio, a Vanden Plas Owner’s Club Dating Certificate, MOT certificates dating back to 1968, a collection of invoices and the Passport to Service.

Registration No: DXJ 513C Chassis No: 1E20692 MOT: ExemptLong-term previous ownership from 1988 to 2019Just 1 of 1,583 RHD 4.2 Fixed Head CoupesOffered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificatesRecently treated to a bare metal repaint and carburettor overhaulTriumphantly launched at the March 1961 Geneva Salon, Jaguar’s ‘150mph’ E-Type was the sports car that (a) put the swinging into the ‘swinging sixties’, (b) no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed ‘the most beautiful car in the world’, and (c) transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. Though not designed as a racer, the E-Type was nevertheless a direct descendent of the all-conquering D-Type and thus had motorsport embedded in its DNA. Equipped with all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes, its handling and roadholding proved more than a match for most rivals. Just one month from launch Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori drove the Equipe Endeavour E-Type (‘ECD 400’) to victory at Oulton Park and some fifty-six years later the model remains a force to be reckoned with in historic racing. Updated during August 1964, the Jaguar gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the Big Cat’s beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,583 RHD E-Type 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes were made. Sporting the Manchester-issued number plate ‘DXJ 513C’, chassis 1E20692 is understood to have been extensively restored whilst belonging to its longest term keeper who retained possession from 1988 – 2019. Accompanying photographs indicate that the Jaguar was comprehensively stripped before being treated to a thorough mechanical and cosmetic renovation. Finished in the iconic combination of British Racing Green with Suede Green leather upholstery, the latter carries sufficient patina to suggest that it could have been factory installed. The cylinder head is stamped with the same number listed on the chassis plate and the inlet and exhaust manifolds both appear to be original factory components. A regular show attendee over the years, the E-Type still carries stickers for the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ and Jaguar Drivers’ Clubs. Fitted with new wire wheels prior to entering the current ownership, the two-seater has been further improved more recently courtesy of a bare metal repaint and carburettor overhaul. Believed but not warranted to have covered some 124,000 miles from new with paperwork on file dating back to the 1980s, the E-Type is also accompanied by a workshop manual, collection of SNG Barratt invoices, assorted old MOTs and numerous other bills. An original, right-hand drive E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe in an appealing colour scheme, Jaguars rarely come more collectible.

Registration - G608 NRNChassis No. - TW2PXXCPTPKD64390M.O.T. - September 2025Odometer - 12,500This amazingly original and ultra-low-mileage Ford P100, offered at No Reserve, has incredibly had just one previous keeper. The vendor explains they purchased it in January 2006 with just 10,000 miles on the clock from a dealer in Worcester; the history shows a first service at 2,971 miles in October 1990, a second at 6,700 miles in February 1992, and a third at 9,576 miles in October 2001. Already in excellent condition when they purchased it, the vendor wanted to take it to the next level, so commissioned a restorer to undertake some renovation work. The pick-up body was removed to be inspected and cleaned, before the chassis was painted and the rest Waxoyled. The fuel tank and rubber hoses were replaced, while the engine was later removed for the engine bay to be repainted. Much of this work is evidenced in photographs. The vendor describes the engine, transmission, electrics and interior as all being in ‘excellent’ condition. The rear deck within the Truckman top is also incredibly clean. ‘G608NRN’ has evidence of detailed servicing by the vendor, including a replacement timing belt and all fluids, a reconditioned carburettor, new crank and camshaft oil seals, plus manifold and rocker cover gaskets. It has formed part of their classic car collection, dry-stored and only used during the summer. They add that, during lockdown in 2020, they gave it a further refresh, including painting the chassis, underfloors and wheels, along with another full service. This has turned it into a genuine time warp example. It comes with all the original manuals and even the original sales receipt. “I have always had a soft spot for these vehicles, as I was in the building trade with my father and this is identical to the one we used all those years ago.” It is a reluctant sale but, after 18 years, they say the time is right for it to be enjoyed by a new owner. The Ford P100 pick-up was originally developed in South Africa, based on the Ford Cortina. From 1988, it was replaced by a more modern Ford Sierra-based model, overseen by Ford UK. It was a surprisingly strong seller and offered with either a 2.0-litre Ford Pinto petrol engine, or a 1.9-litre turbodiesel. The P100 combined the front half of the Sierra with a ladder-frame chassis, which was capable of payloads up to 1,000kg. Always a cult car as well as a workhorse, there was even a Ford P100 pick-up racing series in the 1980s, and today it is a much-loved model by collectors and modifiers alike. Highly original and pristine Ford P100 offered at No ReserveRemarkably low and evidenced mileage of just 12,500 and just one former keeperSympathetic renovation work makes it one of the best surviving Ford P100

Registration - TBCChassis No. - TBCM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 192,452The 200 version of the redoubtable W123 was the entry level model of this mid-sized executive saloon. This example started its life in South Africa, renowned for its benign and preservative, car friendly climate. This W123 was imported to the UK last year and has not yet been UK registered. At over 40 years old this W123 qualifies for Historic Vehicle status and, as such, will be MOT exempt and zero rated for vehicle excise duty. The overall condition of this W123 is vendor rated as “good,” with only the transmission getting an “average” rating. The W123 comes complete with original books and manuals, ample paperwork, spare wheel, tools, jack and two keys. The Mercedes has covered 192,465 kilometres to date, or around 119,500 miles.This Mercedes 200 is finished in its original Petrol Blue (877) paintwork which looks good for its age. There are a few minor scuffs and areas of bubbling noted but these seem relatively superficial. An original set of “Mexican hat,” 14-inch alloy wheels – a key Mercedes-Benz signature for this period. A matching set of 70 profile Dunlop tyres are fitted and there is some kerb rash noted to the outer rims of the alloys. The spacious saloon cabin is finished in Parchment hued (105) perforated and box pleated MB-Tex material. This presents very well and appears clean and fresh despite its light hue. The complementary coloured edge bound carpets seem to be original as does the majority of the cabin. Only a later Sony Bluetooth head unit is noted. The well sized and practical boot is home to the full sized spare wheel and accompanying tools. The original boot carpet appears to be missing.This 1983 model is the beneficiary of the later, more powerful M102, 1997cc inline four cylinder petrol engine. This carburettor fed power unit was originally rated at 108 bhp, sufficient for a 100 mph plus top speed. The transmission in this instance is a four speed automatic. A good level of paperwork is also present.In summary:A rare example of the entry level W123 200 saloonPresented in a highly original condition with an excellent period livery

The Ford Zephyr and its variant, the Zodiac, were the largest passenger cars in the British Ford range and were manufactured from 1950 through to 1972. The Zodiac was an upmarket version of the Zephyr 6 but differed considerably from that model by the limousine-type rear doors, sharper roofline (with narrower C-pillar), unique grille (four headlights instead of two), plusher seating with up-market upholstery, dashboard and interior fittings. A choice of individual or bench front seat was available; the front doors and bonnet panels were shared with the Zephyr 6. The 2553cc single-carburettor six-cylinder engine was improved internally to increase the power output to 109bhp, hence the brakes were uprated and were servo assisted, using discs at the front and drums at the rear. A Zodiac Mk. III saloon tested by ‘The Motor’ magazine in 1962 had a top speed of 100.7mph and cost £1,070 on the road including taxes.Originally registered on 24th November 1964, this Zodiac has only covered 25,064 miles in 60 years on British roads. The engine has been rebuilt at a cost of over £2,500 and has covered little more than 100 miles since. This handsome and imposing Ford is described by the vendor as being ‘nostalgic and fun’ to drive with its huge front bench seat and column gearchange. Currently in the hands of a private collector this Zodiac Mk. III has been kept in a dry garage environment throughout his stewardship.

Fantastic restoration opportunityDesirable 2/4 seater exampleWith more short chassis cars than tourers being produced in 1929, the efforts of the Aston Martin Works were clearly going towards the sports end of the market. By the end of the year the ‘Standard Sports Model’ had developed into the ‘Four-seater "International" Sports Model’, more commonly known simply as the "International". It was quickly and widely regarded as one of the best light sports cars of the day. The appearance of the cars at Brooklands racetrack and in rallies, sprints and hill climbs all around the country alongside the works team cars, increased the cars’ sporting reputation. The "International" was expensive but performance was good enough for the motoring press to praise the car highly. A significant amount of advertising was placed in the popular motoring press highlighting competition successes.The four-seater "International" Sports was built on the short chassis, most of the first series cars were bodied by E. Bertelli Ltd. The standard "International" coachwork was a slightly perpendicular open 2/4-seater, with minimal space in the back for passengers. It was characterized by a rather high profile stemming from a tall ‘wet case’ radiator (the shell forming the water tank) which was further emphasized by the 21" wheels. The fuel tank was enclosed beneath the rear of the body and the spare wheel bracketed on to the body at the extreme rear. The exhaust system was taken from the cylinder head in a simple manifold with the downpipe going down inside the bonnet to the tail pipe and exhaust box below the car. The windscreen folded forward from the base, not flat onto the scuttle (with the exception of the "International Le Mans" model).The engine, a Renwick & Bertelli designed overhead camshaft four-cylinder eight valve engine with dry sump as per the ‘Standard Sports Model’ had a power output approximately 60 bhp at 4,750 rpm. With twin SU 1⅛" side draught carburettor, Magneto ignition and two ‘Autopulse’ fuel pumps mounted on the rear of the chassis. Aston Martin designed a 4-speed crash gearbox with straight cut gears, constant mesh main shaft and layshaft, dog clutch fourth speed and reverse. Performance was brisk! approximately 80 mph and the price new in 1932 was circa £595.Originally purchased and registered in April 1931 to a W.H. Birmingham of Pyford near Woking, Surrey, this International 2/4-S passed to Viscount Curzon (later sixth Earl Howe) who was a known racing driver and Vice-Chairman of the Royal Automobile Club, director of Automobile Proprietary Ltd., Motoring Services Ltd., and a member of the RAC Public Policy Committee, the British Motor Sport Council. AMOC records show that GO 825 was never raced and thus presumably used on the road by the Viscount.In 1950 AMOC records show that a Mr R.G. Phillips in Cardiff owned GO 825 before the buff logbook shows Mr Gregory purchased it in Wimbledon in July 1952. Later Mr Norman and Mr Todd both owned the car in 1957, both residing in Surrey before Todd sold it to PO W.P. Dymund of RAF Debdon, however he also owned the car for less than a year before our vendors father Dr N. Powers of Cambridge purchased the car. He eventually moved to Binstead on the Isle of White with the car and has owned until his passing recently.The 1931 Registration document lists the car as cream with maroon but in 1957 the colour changed to green, the colour still found on the body today. The car has been in the Powers family for 65 years and his daughter had hoped to restore it with her father. The car, even in its current state will be missed by the family but unfortunately, they are unable to undertake the restoration themselves. An open bodied sports car in 2/4 configuration as denoted in the AMOC records. The original books and the International information are also available as collected by Dr Powers over his ownership.When Dr Powers passed away, the car was in two separate locations, but it has now been bought together and catalogued as you can see on the Historics website. The car is believed to be a fairly complete but requiring full and detailed restoration. The chassis number can be found stamped on the chassis but sadly the original chassis plate is not present. The items will all be at the auction location for collection with a selection of parts on display, with a pull photo catalogue reflecting that of the website to ascertain what is included in the sale.Included with the Lot are AMOC documents from the car’s early history and photos of the car in its original state, Buff logbooks and some later invoices from Dr Powers Tenure. A fantastic and unique opportunity to own and restore an Aston Martin International with known history from new.

The 1963 Land Rover Series IIA was a versatile and rugged off-road vehicle produced from 1961 to 1971. It was available in a variety of body styles including a two-door pick-up truck, a three door station wagon, and a two door utility vehicle. It was powered by a 2.25 litre four-cylinder engine that produced 72 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. The 1963 Land Rover Series IIA had a number of updates over its predecessor, including improved seating and larger windows. It also had a new gearbox, a revised dashboard, and a more powerful engine. It was known for its excellent off-road capabilities, thanks to its sturdy construction, high ground clearance, and four-wheel drive system. It was commonly used by farmers, military organisations, and adventurers alike.The example we have here is something of a ‘hot rod’ Land Rover. Under the bonnet you will find a three-litre Ford Essex V6 engine, offering much more power than the original, it sounds great too thanks to the stainless steel exhaust. A galvanised chassis has also been fitted, along with a replacement bulkhead, so it can handle the increased power too. Uprated shock absorbers and parabolic springs have been fitted, which vastly improve the ride quality and road holding. The body has been resprayed to a good standard in Grasmere green, which looks superb and a set of larger wheels and tyres have been fitted, which really complete the look. Inside, we have three Exmoor trimmed front seats and side facing rear seats with seatbelts in the rear. The rear tailgate now hinges from the side, making it easier to climb in and out of. Other cosmetic additions include a sunshade above the windscreen and LED lights. The Land Rover was given a thorough service, for which the invoice of £2,805 is in the file. This included the replacement of the carburettor, starter motor and fuel pump, various other small jobs and an MoT test carried out, which is valid until September 2025. Also included in the history file, are various other service and maintenance invoices, MoT test certificates and a V5C registration document. Offered without reserve, this is a very attractive way into Land Rover ownership. Consigned by Fraser Smith POWERED BY A THREE LITRE FOPRD ESSEX V6GALVANISED CHASSISVARIOUS UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS

The 1958 Edsel Ranger, part of Ford's ill-fated Edsel line, embodies a unique blend of innovation and controversy. With its distinctive "horse collar" grille and futuristic styling, the Ranger aimed to attract consumers seeking modernity. Under the hood, it offered a range of powerful V8 engines, enhancing its appeal. The spacious interior featured innovative options. Despite its cutting-edge features, the Edsel faced criticism for its design and high price, leading to disappointing sales. Today, the 1958 Edsel Ranger is a sought-after classic, representing a fascinating chapter in automotive history.This 1958 Ranger example was imported into the UK in 1989 and underwent a restoration which included a colour change to the striking pink coachwork we see today to be used as a wedding car. Our vendor purchased this striking piece of classic Americana in 2016 and has continued to use it as a wedding car. During his tenure this Edsel has benefited from regular maintenance which in the last five years has included new tyres, a rechromed bumper, a new carburettor and a gearbox rebuild. As part of the Ford marque most spares are relatively easy to get. A few spares will be included in the sale. On a recent inspection the 5.9 litre V8 engine fired into life on request and ran well. In spite of its exempt status by virtue of age this attractive car has a fresh MoT test certificate. This Edsel offers the opportunity to own and extremely rare American car of its era. This ‘Pretty in Pink’ example is offered without reserve. Consigned by Dominic Lake. RECENT EXPENDITURERARE MODEL

1968 BSA Bantam D14 Classic British Motorcycle The introduction of the 172cc D10 model in 1966 marked a number of important technical developments for the ever-popular Bantam, the most important of which were a change to coil ignition and the adoption of a four-speed gearbox, while a raised compression ratio and bigger carburettor increased maximum power to 10bhp and the top speed to 62mph. Introduced for 1968, the successor D14 Bantam boasted a more powerful engine producing 12.6bhp, while the Sports and Bushman versions featured new heavy-duty front forks. This D14 was acquired by the current vendor and then partially recommissioned (engine and frame). The bike is sold for restoration with current V5 Logbook.

A three-owner Interceptor that has a recorded genuine mileage of just 9,145, essentially a project but possibly the lowest mileage example out there. Between 1974 and 1976, the Jensen Interceptor III reached the apogee of its development. Two new body styles — the Convertible and Coupé — were introduced and progressively updated versions of the Chrysler 440ci motor were fitted throughout the range. The interiors were revised one last time and a new range of paint colours was introduced before the Jensen factory closed its doors in May 1976.The Interceptor III Series 4 was launched at Earls Court in October 1973 just as war broke out in the Middle East and the first of the oil shocks of the 1970s began. For the next 18 months, the motoring industry worldwide was hit hard. For Jensens, reliant largely on sales of the expensive, gas-guzzling Interceptors, the changed conditions wrought havoc with the financial bottom line and being relatively small producers, were perhaps more susceptible than many. Prices rose rapidly after 1973 with the all-up cost of a UK Interceptor rising from £6,981 in August 1973 to £10,764 by February 1976. Parts and servicing costs went up in parallel, sometimes too fast for the Spares Department to track the changes and faced with passing on these costs, Jensens began meeting buyer resistance and finally closed their doors in May 1976.On a happier note, some two years earlier, this Interceptor III Series 4, 9973, looking splendid in Havana Brown (one of 138) with a beige hide interior was united with its first owner. We move forward to 15th October 1989 when it was purchased by its present owner (the car's third) at which point it was placed into storage with very occasional use, being last taxed for road-use in 1991, some 33 years ago. Now partially recommissioned, it is once again up and running but we suggest that a more in-depth overhaul will be required to return the 7.2-litre GT to the road.Recently removed from storage, our vendor's ill health has prevented plans for a full restoration going ahead but the decision was taken to attend to the various issues that the period of elongated storage had bought to the fore. This has included a new radiator and replacement upgraded cooling fans supplied by Martin Robey, replacement hoses with a new thermostat and thermal switch fitted, the carburettor was overhauled, a new mechanical fuel pump was fitted after the fuel tank had been drained and flushed and all brake calipers were stripped and overhauled with new seals and pistons. Bodily, the Jensen appears to be extremely solid throughout, probably down to the fact that it was undersealed prior to going into storage. Internally, originality is key with little being altered, even the electric windows function and the electric fuel cap release functions as they should.It's accompanied by the factory build sheets, the original handbook and service book, the original tool roll and jack and a history file with older MOT Certificates, various invoices and interestingly, both factory-supplied keys still remain. A superb rolling project that could, with a little work, be used exactly as is or, with a programme of more intense rectification, you could end up with a stunning Jensen that must surely be one of the lowest mileage examples anywhere. Specification Make: JENSEN Model: INTERCEPTOR III Year: 1974 Chassis Number: 9973 Registration Number: GFM 843N Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 4C12696 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 9144 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Beige HideClick here for more details and images

The Beetle was a masterpiece of innovation and economics - but never lost its sense of fun and character; this delightfully original example would do any enthusiast proud. The Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle changed the world. Like the globally successful Ford Model T, it was a simple, properly-engineered automobile that was inexpensive enough to bring motoring to the masses. And like the Model T, it was strong and reliable and was built around the world in mind-boggling quantities.The Beetle’s heritage goes back to the pre-war KdF-Wagen, whose name stood for Kraft durch Freude and translates loosely to ‘strength through joy’. Conceived from the experiments of Porsche Design’s Project 12, it used a revolutionary rear-mounted engine with Aluminium and Magnesium castings. With a simple yet effective platform chassis, the car underwent countless revisions and prototypes before, eventually, the Series 38 design would embody the Beetle as we know it.With 40bhp from its 1192cc horizontally-opposed, four-cylinder engine with Solex carburettor, a 4-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension with upper and lower control arms and transverse torsion bars, rear suspension by swing axles with trailing arms and torsion bar and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, it was indeed properly-engineered.VW’s Beetle soon became ubiquitous all over the world, even in the United States, where horsepower had always ruled. Over the years, details changed, and displacement increased, but the basic look remained. When production ceased in Mexico in 2003, 21,529,464 had been built in plants on every continent but Antarctica.The car presented here is a right-hand drive 1963 Volkswagen Beetle finished in Birch Green, an original and unrestored example that comes with extensive history and service records. In more recent times, it's been treated to an engine rebuild and an overhaul of the electrical system, with our vendor stating that the body, similarly, is in ‘excellent condition’, with in excess of £12,000 worth of invoices to back this up. The indicated mileage of 66,904 (at the time of cataloguing) would seem wholly commensurate with its well-preserved condition.Volkswagen's Beetle is an important part of automotive history and this very wholesome example would make an ideal first classic for an enthusiast at a most reasonable outlay.Specification Make: VOLKSWAGEN Model: BEETLE 1200 Year: 1963 Chassis Number: 5711101 Registration Number: ADE 402A Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 7886379 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 66904 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Green Cloth Click here for more details and images

Ex-NAAFI Mk 1 Escort van in delightfully original condition with low mileage and just three owners from new. Offered without Reserve. Introduced in October 1968 and in production until December 1974, the two-door van version of Ford's first generation Escort became a stalwart of small businesses everywhere, peppering every high street in the UK in the early 1970s. Built at Halewood in Liverpool, some 1,082,472 managed to find homes before the arrival of the Mk2 in early 1975. Most were powered by Ford's ultra-reliable 1,098cc Kent OHV four-cylinder with a single carburettor and a five-bearing crank offering a steady 48bhp, quite enough for most applications. Despite the substantial numbers built, survivors are rare with the British weather, more stringent regulations and advancing technology taking their toll.On offer here is a rare Escort 1100 6cwt van with an interesting story to tell. Finished in Ford Marine Royal Blue, it was first registered on 20th March 1974 to the British MOD-NAAFI, transport department in London who used it for deliveries to military bases for the next four years until it was surplus to requirements. It was subsequently purchased by a Mr Edward Hatton on 3rd July 1978 and kept it in his caring ownership until 2006. The third and final registered keeper, Mr Fred Smith from Henlow, then owned the car from 2006 onwards until he eventually retired from driving.It has recently benefitted from some light cosmetic and mechanical recommissioning having sat in heated storage in the past few years.

A very special find, a desirable BRG, late production, pre-injection Mk V Cooper, ordered and purchased brand new by our vendors and just 9,712 miles.   Following the original's demise in 1971, John Cooper sold his own modified Minis under the Mini Cooper name from the mid-1980s before Rover's acquisition of the rights made it possible to officially re-launch the model in July 1990. The new Mini Cooper was based on the Mini 30, the most luxuriously equipped limited edition Mini to date, but fitted with the 1,275cc MG Metro A-Series engine rather than the 30's 998cc unit. The Mini Cooper Mk V, as it became known, remained on carburettors until September 1991 when they were fitted with SPi (single port) throttle body fuel-injection and entitled the Mk VI although non-Cooper cars continued in Mk V spec until the following year.This remarkable little 1991 Rover Mini Cooper 1275 was ordered new by our vendors from Mann Egerton & Co Ltd, 151 Abbey Lane, Leicester, LE4 5QY in desirable British Racing Green and optioned with a factory-fitted sunroof. It was built in mid-summer 1991 and first registered on 1st August 1991, making it one of the last of the Mk V carburettor cars.  Delightfully original, having covered just 9,712 miles from new with its only owner, it has never previously been offered for sale on the open market. It's supplied with its original plastic pouch, Rover Owner Information & Service Record with three stamps in the book, Mini Cooper owners handbook, Rover In Car-Entertainment booklet, AA members handbook 1990/1991, original Rover Service Interval Requirements sheet, old MOT certificates back to 1997, the original spare wheel and toolkit and a spare key. The MOT is valid ('No Advisories') until October 2025 and the car has just been serviced. Sensibly estimated, we encourage your inspection of this special find at our NEC Sale.Specification Make: ROVER Model: MINI COOPER Year: 1991 Chassis Number: SAXXNNAMBBD016040 Registration Number: J340 LAY Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 12A2AG01104637 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 9712 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Offered from the Property of a Gentleman Collection, a fully restored example of the glorious Escort MkII RS2000 Custom and offering incredible value at this estimate. 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.This absolutely superb example of this highly sought after British classic was first registered on 8th December 1977. Finished in Midnight Blue with a black interior this RS2000 Custom has been fully restored, which appears to have been completed to a very high standard, in 2021. This matching numbers Ford has only covered some 300 miles since restoration and therefore needs to be handled with care over the short term as everything is still tight on the vehicle. Supplied with a V5C registration document and an advisory-free MOT certificate valid until 14th October 2025 with a very detailed history file and an odometer reading of 90,180 miles at the time of cataloguing Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT RS2000 Year: 1977 Chassis Number: GCATTR00882 Registration Number: VBU 367S Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TR00882 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 90180 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black ClothClick here for more details and images

Buick's slogan Looks fine for '49! wasn't wrong; a magnificent American classic with serious style and presence, and optioned with the iconic 'Sweepspear' chrome design - a real beauty!  The Buick Roadmaster of 1949 was a seminal model, introducing a new design-language to the marque and reinforced an emerging new psychology around buying a car - choosing a Buick had become more of a lifestyle decision and that trend would continue as buyers embraced the new ‘fuselage style’ that was inspired by aircraft design.These numerous new design features included a larger, chrome-laden grille, and a curved windshield - but some other elements to this new model were to become even more significant, influencing not only Buick's styling theme for years, but creating a whole new style of car for the US-market.The 1949 Roadmaster Riviera, along with other newly launched, glamorous models – the Cadillac Coupe de Ville and the Oldsmobile 98 Deluxe Holiday Coupe – debuted for the first time on a mass production model for the US-market the ‘2-door pillarless hardtop coupé configuration (the design offered a fixed roofline with disappearing side windows and no B-pillar; when the windows were lowered, the car took on the look of a convertible with its top raised - British cars already had the 'Fixed Head Coupé'; thus, combining the style of a convertible with the security and weather protection of a sedan/saloon). The Riviera offered the best of sporty design and closed practicality, and it would influence two decades of automobile design around the world. Its name would remain a part of Buick’s lineage for 50 years.Next up, and again significantly for the Buick design-language of its cars to come, was that the 1949 Roadmaster first introduced the (now) iconic ‘VentiPorts’ which went on to be a traditional Buick styling cue for many years. These are a series of three or four ‘vents’ on the front wing behind the front wheels. Four vents were displayed on each of the Roadmaster and Century's front wings, with three on the wings of the Super and Special to denote junior level products. The sales brochure noted that VentiPorts helped ventilate the engine compartment, possibly true in early 1949, but they became non-functional sometime during the model year.It is believed that the original idea for these portholes was to fit them with lights that would flash on and off in sequence with the engines firing order – the idea being that VentiPorts put the driver in the control of an imaginary fighter airplane. Upon seeing this prototype set-up fitted to a designer’s own ’48 Roadmaster, Buick chief Harlow Curtice was so delighted that he ordered that (non-lighting) VentiPorts be installed on all 1949 Buicks, with the number of VentiPorts (three or four) corresponding to the relative displacement of the straight-eight engine installed.Furthermore, the 1949 Roadmaster Riviera was also notable for first introducing its popular optional ‘Sweepspear’ chrome body side moulding, which would soon become another Buick trademark. This chrome-plated strip started above the front wheel, then gently curved down nearly to the rocker panel just before the rear wheel, and then curved around the rear wheel in a quarter of a circle to go straight back to the taillight. The ‘Riviera trim’, as it was initially called, was also made available on the Roadmaster convertible late in the model year, and was made standard on most body styles at the beginning of the 1950 model year.On top of all this ‘influence’, the 1949 Roadmaster Riviera specification included a 150bhp ‘Fireball’ 320 CID overhead-valve inline eight-cylinder engine (with dual downdraft carburettor), Dynaflow automatic transmission, independent front coil-spring and semi-elliptic leaf-spring rear suspension, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes – all for $3,203 in 1949.With production numbers from that year showing only 4,343 Riviera models were produced and a frequently used Buick resource that was published in 1979 states that at that time, less than ten of these vehicles were accounted for, this is now a rare and very special car.The car presented here is a 1949 Buick Roadmaster Riviera, a truly exceptional example of its type, which was originally restored by the technical advisor to the Buick Club UK. It is believed to be one of only 50 surviving examples worldwide and the only one in the UK and has featured at The Cartier Style et Luxe Lawn, one of the finest Concours d'Elegance events in the world, where the most beautiful cars are presented in exceptional condition. The car was also a former winner of the NEC Car of the Year award. Always garaged and sparingly used, it has always been maintained to a very high standard, accompanied by extensive records of its servicing and restoration history.As our vendor says ‘this car has to be seen to be believed’; we couldn’t agree more, we look forward to seeing you.Specification Make: BUICK Model: ROADMASTER RIVIERA Year: 1949 Chassis Number: V1N1531452615342105 Registration Number: YAS 241 Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 55382807 Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Make: LHDClick here for more details and images

A fine example of pure, post-war, space-age influenced Americana, superbly restored and subtly upgraded. The start of things to come. No one would have guessed that the low-key arrival in the US of a number of ex-POW German rocket scientists during late 1946 would influence the direction of automotive design for a decade in the 1950s and 1960s. These men were undoubtedly the world’s leading experts on rocketry and rocket propulsion and their knowledge turned the long-established American dream of space travel from a fantasy into a possibility.Although modern historians consider Sputnik’s launch in 1957 as the start of the Space Age, its aesthetic can be traced back to at least a decade earlier when rocket ships, spaceflight and nuclear energy entered the public consciousness. Dream cars designed by Ford’s Advanced Styling Studio and others were never actually built, but they included several of the era’s most distinctive design characteristics - aerodynamic tailfins, sleek silhouettes, curved edges and missile-shaped ‘hood ornaments’ that could probably impale you. However, some eight years earlier, Oldsmobile replaced their flathead straight-six with a 303ci, 135bhp V8 entitled 'Rocket' that kicked off a generation of horsepower wars, spaceship-inspired designs and elaborate mid-century details. The Oldsmobile logo of a globe surrounded by rings was selected to convey the 'universal' appeal of the brand, and the Olds steering wheel centre features the Saturn-like representation of our world on a background of jet-age stars.For 1948, and carrying into 1949, Oldsmobile gave its flagship 98 Series a freshened look that drew heavily from the marque’s Futuramic styling concept. That year, Futuramic design language was applied to four 98 body types on the 125" wheelbase chassis including the convertible. In period advertising, Oldsmobile promised that the 1949 Futuramic offered 'the dramatic design of the future — the finest of functional modern design in any field'. While the styling of the Futuramic was a great success, perhaps the bigger news was the 303in3 Rocket V8 engine for 1949. By any definition, the Futuramic was a luxurious cruiser born to 'rocket' down the road in comfort and style.This particular example has clearly being restored to a superb level with subtle upgrades to enhance not only performance, but also the style and driving enjoyment that only a piece of 1950s Americana can provide. The external styling alone turns heads whenever out on the open road, underlined by the 'bookie's cap' windscreen visor and typical space age adornments through to the Cadillac hubcaps, all enhanced by acres of chrome. It's been mechanically upgraded with a slightly later 1955 Rocket engine fuelled through a four-barrel Edlebrock carburettor and turning a mild cam to produce, we understand, around 300bhp fed through the 4-speed Hydromatic automatic gearbox. Internally, the style and luxury continues with typical period details and chrome highlights including subtly fitted air conditioning all adding to the overall feel of the superbly trimmed interior.With post-war American vehicles currently enjoying a surge of popularity, this glorious Rocket 88 can be used and enjoyed to the maximum, be that out on the open road or on the show field. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate this very early 'space-age', trend-setting, Oldsmobile rocket-ship.Specification Make: OLDSMOBILE Model: ROCKET 88 Year: 1950 Chassis Number: 508C24414 Registration Number: 136 XUT Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: TBA Drive Side: Left-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 55641 Miles Make: LHD Interior Colour: Red / Magnolia ClothClick here for more details and images

Our vendor bought the car in January 2023 to satisfy a long-term desire but never intended to own the car for too long, hence its sale now. He reports that it runs and drives well, and is reliable on the local classic car trips he has used it on, but notes some engine oil leakage at the front. Upgrades include LED lighting with indicator conversion.  Paperwork includes the V5C, MoT certificates back to 1999, some Alabama paperwork, and a collection of invoices. There's also the restoration photos, SU carburettor tuning, adjustment and servicing instructions, a Heritage Certificate, workshop manual and a notebook detailing work done between August 2018 and October 2024, which includes a recent full service.

Registration No: UNR 613 Frame No: B8431 MOT: ExemptBritish registered from new With original buff logbookV5C for use on UK roadsIn 1959, Triumph launched themselves into the world of scooters with the Tigress. Capable of over 70mph with just 10hp, the scooter was designed for the motorcycle enthusiast.Here we present a very original example in its largely original and heavily patinated paintwork with only minor touch-ups. It has been owned by the vendor's father since 2016. Prior to that we can see from the buff logbook that the scooter was first registered in Loughborough on the 8th February 1960 to an Ernest Smith, remaining around the Nottingham area until 1966. We are told by the vendor that the scooter was recommissioned just a few months ago, benefitting from a carburettor clean, new fuel tap and fresh oil. We understand it is 'running well', however, we were able to turn the engine due to the lack of a battery. The front badges and RAC badge are all original, as are the switches and lights. The scooter has a large period accessory windscreen with a very nice Cinque Ports Motorcycle Club badge and an original rear rack.

The MAC coped well with the low-grade post-war petrol and was a popular commuter and touring motorcycle. Although they started as innovators, Velocette failed to keep pace with developing technology and production ended in 1959.This 1953 Velocette MAC is an early sprung frame example. Purchased by the Velocette enthusiast owner some time ago and used on many Velocette runs and events, it has always been maintained to a good order by him. In his ownership, he has fitted a concentric carburettor and a modern electronic regulator. It has not been used in recent years and may require some recommissioning before placing it back on the road, however, it is offered with a file of paperwork and a current V5C.

It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV Series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. We believe this presentable and fully prepared example was imported from Italy in 2019. It was substantially restored with new electrics including 6v points and condenser, new ignition, horn, control switch, rectifier, battery and bulbs. Other new parts included a new seat cover for the original Giuliari seat frame, full cable set, MPH speedometer, brakes, headlight and glass, brakes including pads and adjusters, toolbox lock and key, steering lock key re-cut by Jim Booth, fuel tap, rubbers and gaskets, new panel badges and rear shock. The original disc brake was dismantled and refurbished with pads and adjusters. The original engine has been fitted with Scootopia silent block engine mounts, Scootopia Series 3 exhaust, clutch plates and chaincase gasket. The correct SH1/20 carburettor was ultrasonically cleaned. It was then subject to a bare metal paint restoration by ‘Roadrash Paintwork’, to the tune of £1,380. The current owner has only covered 23 miles on the scooter since the re-build. The scooter comes with a build and work history, a dating later from the LCGB and an Innocenti Certificate. V5C for use on UK roads. There's a sensibly priced reserve. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: OBC 84M Frame No: V5A1T 817048 MOT: ExemptAn opportunity acquire a very rare VespaOriginal UK registered VespaFully running on original V5A2M engine and used regularlyMagazine featured exampleV5C presentThe Vespa Pedali V5A1T was created in 1971 with the French market in mind. The regulations there meant that pedals were required to allow the mopeds into the bicycle category and thus required no license plate. The 49.77cc 2 stroke engine with a standard kickstart also incorporated a special chain mechanism with pedals that drove the unique rear hub and propelled the scooter forward in this fashion. It could also be used with the kickstart as a standard scooter. Much else was like a standard Vespa 50 with coil spring and hydraulic shock absorber on both wheels. The other noticeable difference was that the special frame was narrowed at the footboards to allow pedalling and a cover attached to protect the chain sprocket mechanism at the front. The rear hub was also a completely unique design also to allow a sprocket to catch the rear drive of the chain. It was the only Vespa built with theses unique features and these models are extremely collectible amongst serious Vespa collectors. Some models were sold new in Italy and Great Britain but this was a very rare occurrence. This model is also unique in that it is the only Vespa in more modern times to have never been fitted with a brake light due to the bicycle category it fell into. It is unfortunate however that in many cases the owners simply disconnected the pedals and threw them away.This Vespa 50 Pedalo has been owned by our vendor for 13 years and is still used regularly to ride around town. It has been upgraded to 90cc and comes with spare crank, carburettor and the original 50cc piston and barrel. It has original spare wheel holder and spare wheel. Runs on 9 ins wheels. Top speed now is approx 40MPH. He tells us the previous owner was a lady from Rugby who purchased it in 1990. It was featured in Scooter Scene magazine approx 5 years ago. It has been hand painted red. The chassis we are told is solid frame and the engine is the original. Close examination of the photographs show it as complete with the rare pedal workings all in place. The scooter is supplied with the original operation and maintenance manual, lots of MOT certificates and several old tax discs from over the years. This most rare and sought after Vespa model seldom comes onto the market.

The engine was subject to a de-coke and replacement gaskets and at the time of consignment, it has to be said that the engine sounded very good. On further inspection, the cables all appear to be original with the correct oilers in place. The vendor told us that he had never opened the head-set in his ownership because everything worked and he has never had to. The scooter is complemented by original Spanish accessories, including the front bumper and flat rear spare wheel holder. A very honest scooter in our opinion.

Registration No: 739 UXK Frame No: 175TV 222439 MOT: ExemptVery presentable in correct Tyrol Blue colourRunning very well at the time of consignmentV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 Series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 series but with an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers. The Rear plate and fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models were fitted with a Veglia 120 km/h or 70 mph speedometer face and a dual seat. The ‘Lambretta’ and ‘TV175’ side panel badges were attached to the panels with small nuts as opposed to the riveted badges on the series 2 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.This presentable and fully operational (at the time of consignment) example was, in our opinion, probably British registered from new with a battery tray, Concessionaires badge and MPH speedometer, which shows 7,968 miles. The current owner has had the scooter since 2005 and is a well-known senior member of several Vintage scooter clubs in the UK. He has kept a fastidious book record of everything he has done on the scooter from 2007 to the present, right down to the oil changes! This record is supplied with the scooter. The numbers match correctly and it is in standard TV175 specification with its original Giuliari seat. The only upgrade that we could see is the conversion to 12v electronics and a later SH2/22 carburettor. All keys are present, including the original steering lock with its original flap. Again, we are told by the vendor that it rides as it should and we were able to see the scooter performing well at the time of consignment. It only comes to market because the vendor is now unable to ride it due to health problems, therefore the scooter is sensibly priced to sell.

Registration No: FEA 119C Frame No: TV3 551373 MOT: ExemptFront cover star scooter for Scootering Magazine August 2006Good numbers and in great conditionHuge amount of accessoriesVery presentableThe Lambretta TV175 series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The larger engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models.Sadly, from a deceased estate this TV200 is a British sold version with battery tray and is a well presented example painted in a very high quality deep paint scheme of Paul Smith’ design. The numbers are correct for a TV200 and the month of manufacture from TV200 Club records is July 1965. The scooter has been on display indoors as pride of place for many years and this has resulted in the paintwork being in very good conditions can be seen from the photographs. A well known scooter on the Birmingham mod scene in the 2000s it has been the subject of detailed decoration and appears to be in super condition. In 2006 the scooter appeared in a double page spread article and indeed on the front cover of Scootering Magazine and a copy of the magazine is provided with the lot. The speedometer appears to be original and correct. The ignition also looks original with a 133 key number. The engine turns but we did not attempt to start it as it was indoors but we are told it was running when it was put inside. Certainly the engine casing appears to have done very little work and is in great condition with the correct SHI/20 original Dellorto carburettor present. The scooter has had a quality Ducati CD1 12 volt conversion. Keys are present for the ignition and inside leg shield tool box which is an Ulma style version. The ignition key has what appears to be an original Esso Tiger fob. The tyres are quality Continental whitewalls.In addition to the attractive paintwork, where the scooter really shines is in the myriad of original and reproduction accessories that adorn this machine. Collectively these accessories would take a long time to collect and certainly have a high monetary value too. The list is substantial but includes: Triple Fiamm original air horns facing to the rear, double air horns in the tool box, a quality leopard design Pegasus seat (possibly of Rimini origin), an Ulma style horncast badge, Ulma style Florida bars, Ulma style double legshield trim, An original Ulma front rack adorned with original spotlights which is a mix of 3 original Radyots with orange lenses, 6 big original Miller spotlights and a big Stadium spotlight. There are also original Desmo badges. To the front the fork boots are possibly original Super versions without badges, and the dampers have white rubber gaiters and the bumper bar is an original Vigano correct series 3 type. There are attractive period bullet lights underslung each side in a triple cluster. To the rear there is a registration plate surround and accessory side lights. The rear rack appears to be an original Nannucci sold Cuppini rack and the spare wheel held there has an original Vigano Turbo wheel disc and spinner. The mirrors are Biemme original rectangular and Metalplast style round mirrors.The rubber parts all appear to be original and in matching green for the hand grips, brake rubber, stand and kick start rubbers and mudflap. The handlebars are finished off with original tassles.As previously mentioned this is a deceased estate sale and unfortunately the documents could not be found. However the scooter is on the DVLA system so registration should not be an issue and we have performed an HPI check which returned fine.

Registration No: 297 YUG Frame No: VB1T85296 MOT: ExemptImpressive custom creation by a renowned Vespa expertClassic Scooterist magazine featuredA subtle blend of old and newPrecision engineered detail all overPinstriping by the late John ‘Letterknight’ V5C and ready for the roadWe present here an intriguing custom vintage incarnation based on an early 1958 VB1 (known in the UK as a Clubman) and a performance 221cc Pollini engined conversion of a VSE1M 200 engine. There are many impressive innovations throughout. The ‘Clubman’ immediately followed the last of the VL models models retaining their classic lines and wasp like shape but with a headlight mounted on the handlebars and a closer nod to the already famous GS range.This project was said to be at the time the piece de resistance by the vendor and is famous in scootering circles in the East Midlands scooter groups. He is a very well respected engineer and fabricator highly sought after for his Vespa engine work in the East Midlands. It took 12 months to compete. It is difficult to know where to start with this fabulous creation as there are so many innovations all over the machine that dovetail and complement each other. Based on a VB1 frame which was chosen for its dainty shape as a ‘mini GS’ and the attractiveness of the clamshell speedometer. The side panel has an ingenious spring loaded rear catch utilising a seat catch The paintwork was done after all correct preparation by Craig at The Scooter Paint Shop and pinstriped by the late John ‘Letterknight’ famous for his hand paint work on narrowboats.The scooter and engine were both sourced directly in the UK. Many original parts were retained including: The original frame and body panels were not modified in shape throughout except with a modification to the front mudguard to accept the upgraded front shock and original handlebar assembly on which has been specially engraved an extra 4th gear. The PX forks with 10 inch wheel were modified to take the GS style Clubman headset. The front brakes are a PX disc with SIP hydraulic caliper and with braided hose on the cable we are informed it 'stops on a tanner’. The wheels are stainless split rim type with new condition Conti Twist tyres.The engine has been modified with a Polini 180 cylinder and barrel and a 60mm Temeni crank taking the capacity up to 221cc. The exhaust is a SIP Road 2 with specially extended tailpipe. The choke is positioned in an offset position to suit the new engine. We are told by the vendor that the performance is extremely good and the scooter will cruise at 60MPH but will go to 70MPH quite easily whenever necessary. He said it is lovely to ride and feels safe. The electrics have been converted to a quality Ducati 12v system with Cdi and the regulator is hidden well inside the side tool box which is rubber lined on the tool box floor. The seat is a specially bespoke made wide ‘Super Gandolphi’ style with pinball type catch. It was covered with a soft fluted trim by revered trim expert Richard Flavell. Other innovations that we noticed were that there is now an extra tool box in the former carburettor compartment and a specially made auxiliary fuel tank within the spare wheel positioned inside the leg shield which holds exactly 2 litres of fuel. The scooter is enhanced by a retractable side saddle step, a sprint type rack and and engineered stainless mudflap. The scooter was the focus of an article in ‘Classic Scooterist’ magazine in June 2012. We were able to see the scooter running well as can be seen by the below video taken at the time of consignment.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: T.B.A MOT: ExemptGenuine Italian built. Verified by the VVC archivistAttractive combinationOriginal accessories The VBA range of Vespas were the immediate successors to the long running ‘handlebar’ scooters of the 1950s and in the UK was the successor to the 152l2 and had cast handlebars like the GS. The VBA had a completely redesigned body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability, gave more power but reduced fuel consumption and required less oil in the fuel mix. The carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. The whole package was a much more professional-looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS with its cast handlebars. The later VBA models with 150 engine were sold in the UK with leg shield trim, Clamshell speedometer and and GS style rear light. Today, the VBA is an appealing Vespa and an appreciating model.This VBA combination was purchased as a present for the vendor's wife who fell in love with it. It had been recently restored when they bought it and had apparently done 200 miles since. The couple have recently decided to emigrate and are unfortunately not going to get it on the road. They have never used it. It is unknown where it has been as there are no documents with it. The chassis number area is unclear and were unable to see the chassis number clearly. However, before the auction when the scooter it is delivered to the venue we will have another go at revealing the numbers. In the meantime, we are able to confirm that it is indeed Pontedera-built as the clear stamped batch number inside the chassis tells us, and is almost certainly imported from Italy. The engine number is also consistent with this. Our consultant was able to see the scooter running by the direct application of fuel into the bore, it will, however, require a light commissioning of the fuel system. The sidecar looks to be in good condition. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: NAV 222F Frame No: SX200 840349 MOT: ExemptStraight out of the garage rally going machineMany performance upgradesV5C for use on the roadMany regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. The SX range retained most styling features of the TV 175/200 Series III which preceded it. The bodywork however was more angular and streamlined than that of the preceding LI models. Like the TV Series III, the headset housed a keyed ignition/light switch in the space that the standard LI had a simple kill switch. The SX200 had improved performance and gearing over the previous TV200 models. The SX is the quintessential Lambretta, they are extremely prized by collectors and the SX200 with its own uniquely styled panels and powerful motor is the absolute top of the scooter tree. This interesting example is a genuine Italian SX200 first registered in the UK in 2005. It has been in regular use since then. The original engine, however, was removed and replaced with an unstamped upgraded engine. We are told it has a Mugello 200cc top end and rides superbly. It was taken to Italy and partook in the national Italian Club rally in Rapello in 2016. It has been converted to a Tino Sacchi 12v variatronic ignition and sports a Dellorto 28mm carburettor with JML Road exhaust. The rear shock is a quality adjustable version. The original front disc brake is standard. As far as we could see, all of the panels throughout are original first generation Innocenti SX200 panels and the rear frame badge is original, in our opinion. The seat is an original Giuliari with a replacement cover. The speedometer is a replacement MPH Veglia version. This is an honest straight out of the garage machine in good running condition at the time of consignment. All genuine SX200 save the engine, this could represent an extremely good buy for someone at the very reasonable reserve.
