Registration No: BL54 MVW Chassis No: SARRXGLGB4D000130 MOT: March 2025One of just 187 Mk1 'Mustang-powered' ZTs understood to have been producedJust c.24,500 miles from newOne of only 3 finished in Copperleaf paintwork and believed the only one with Oxford Cream leather interior upholsteryEntered from a small private collection of MG Rover carsOffered with a history file including the combined service book and owner's handbookAfter a long wait, the rear-wheel-drive MG ZT made an appearance in September 2003. Completely re-engineering the standard ZT shell to accommodate Ford's superb modular Mustang 4.6-litre V8 engine which produced 256bhp and allied to a five-speed Tremec TR-350 manual transmission. SE-spec examples includes Harman Kardon sound system with a factory subwoofer and X-Power rear exhausts, really enhancing that V8 soundtrack. An AutoExpress report on the ZT 260s declared the Mustang engine cars as having ‘bags of torque, a well-engineered chassis and an intoxicating soundtrack, making this one of MG Rover's strongest products’. Limited numbers were produced with 187 Mk1 (pre-facelift examples) and 374 Mk2 examples understood to have been produced.Number 130 is one of the rarer pre-facelift examples and is understood to have been manufactured in late 2003, remaining unregistered until being first registered on the 24th January 2005. Finished in striking Copperleaf Red paintwork, it is thought to be one of just three in this colour and is understood to be the only one of these trimmed in Oxford Cream leather interior upholstery. In desirable SE specification, it is a low mileage example having covered just c.24,500 miles from new and has been in the possession of just three former keepers. Entered into the sale along with two others from a small private collection of MG Rover cars, the ZT still boasts having its original tool kit, including the jack and spare wheel.Benefitting from four new tyres in 2021, the ZT was recently provided with a full service and check of the brakes, steering and suspension by a classic car specialist in October 2023, some 2,500 miles ago. Supplied with a history file that contains the combined service book, owner's handbook, a collection of MOT history, a no advisory MOT certificate until March next year, previous invoices and a current V5C document, as well as two keys. Presenting nicely and running and driving well during our recent photography session, these Mustang-engined ZTs are notably rare and becoming incredibly collectable.

Lot 55

Registration No: F457 XWP Chassis No: WP0ZZZ92ZJS840533 MOT: NoneJust 77,200 miles from new as supported by twenty service stamps plus old MOTs and invoicesEntered from a deceased estate and bought by its late (seventh) owner for £24,995 in 2019Subsequently treated to over £8,000 worth of expenditure with Porsche Centre ChesterOffered with book pack including handbooks and the stamped service bookLast serviced in June 2023 (c.100 miles ago)Introduced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, the 928 was conceived (and priced) as the flagship of the Porsche range. A luxurious GT, it was styled in-house by American Tony Lapine as a replacement for the ageing, compromised 911. Ultimately, it failed to usurp its tail-heavy sibling despite becoming the only sports car ever to win the European Car of the Year title in 1978. Built around a galvanised steel monocoque, it made extensive use of aluminium for its wheels, doors, bonnet, transaxle housing, front suspension wishbones, rear suspension uprights, upper links and main cross member. This practice not only saved weight but also contributed to the near perfect 49:51 weight distribution. Available with a choice of manual or automatic transmission (housed in its award-winning passive rear steer Weissach transaxle) the 928 was regarded as a crushingly capable Grand Tourer. The subject of a continual development programme, it evolved through S and S2 guises before the arrival of the S4 version in Autumn 1986 (the 'S3' being a US market only model). Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and 165mph, the newcomer was powered by an enlarged 4957cc DOHC 32-valve V8 that developed some 316bhp and 317lbft of torque. Equipped with air conditioning as standard, the aerodynamically improved S4 was visually distinguished by a reprofiled nose and revised tail (the latter incorporating new light clusters and a larger spoiler). Finished in the classic combination of Silver with Black leather upholstery, this UK market (C16) example was supplied new via Charles Follett Ltd of London to G. MacKay Esq. Equipped with an electric sunroof, Blaupunkt stereo and automatic transmission, the 2+2-seater is warranted to have covered some 77,000 miles from new. The twenty stamps in its accompanying service book begin and end with Porsche main dealer entries. Entered from a deceased estate, the late owner became the Coupe’s seventh keeper when he bought it from SJ Specialist Cars Ltd of Wigan on 30th March 2019. Despatched to Porsche Centre Chester at the end of that same year, ‘F457 XWP’ had attention paid to its fuel system, exhaust, undertray, rear windscreen wiper spark plugs, headlamp washers and brakes (new discs and pads all round) plus a service at a cost of £6,519.34. Little used since returning to the same garage for another bout of maintenance at 77,104 miles on June 8th 2023 (£969.43), the 928 S4 was noted to be losing coolant during our recent photography session. An enticing prospect despite the need for some recommissioning, this handsome, low mileage 928 S4 is offered with the V5C Registration Document, original book pack, Porsche-branded in-car telephone and assorted old MOTs and invoices.

Lot 110

Registration No: KND 322N Chassis No: 1266620 MOT: ExemptTwo owners from new, one in Czechoslovakia and one in the United KingdomDesirable 110 LS variant using the 110 R Coupe high compression engineLavished with a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration between August 2013 and November 2014Highly attractive original colour scheme of Turquoise (5187) paintwork with Black vinyl interior upholsteryDebuting in 1969 as reskinned and refined versions of their 1000 MB and 1100 MB forebears, Skoda’s 100 and 110 saloon cars utilised the same monocoque construction, all-round independent suspension and rear-engined / rear-wheel drive layout. Notable as the marque’s first model range to achieve over 1,000,000 sales, the 1-litre 100 and 1.1-litre 110 boasted more standard equipment than Western equivalents such as the Ford Cortina and Hillman Minx. Sharing its high compression engine with the revered 110 R Coupe, the 110 LS Saloon was among the rarest variants with a mere 40,057 being completed between 1971 and 1976. Although such scarcity did not stop the FIA homologating it for Group 1 events.Manufactured new in 1974 and supplied to the home market (of the then) Czechoslovakia, this 110 LS resided there until 2013 in the ownership of just one individual. Upon his passing, the first owner’s family sold the Škoda to the vendor in the United Kingdom, arriving here in August 2013, with the vendor immediately embarking on a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration of chassis ‘1266620’. Finding the Škoda notably solid with only localised welding required to areas such as the sills, subframe mounting, and jacking points, panels required were three new doors, new front and rear wings, with all new panels genuine new old stock Škoda parts. The 110 LS was then provided with a full repaint in its highly attractive and original colour of Turquoise (5187), confirmed by the Skoda museum in Mlada Boleslav, which was found in the panel gaps under the poorly applied Blue which was presented before the shell was stripped to bare metal.Thereafter, the engine was completely overhauled including a new head and the twin-pot calipers refreshed, the gearbox was also fully reconditioned. The suspension, front brake discs and rear brakes, and steering were all renewed, before the original interior (which restored well) was refitted, with numerous new old stock trim parts were acquired for the exterior finishing. The restoration was completed in November 2014 with the Škoda provided with its first MOT that month. Since used for shows and events, the 110 LS has covered some 3,800 miles since the restoration’s completion.Featured in ‘Classics’ magazine shortly after the restoration’s completion, ‘KND 322N’ is offered with a history file that includes copy of the magazine, copy of the Czechoslovakian logbook, original sales literature, drivers and maintenance manual, a large collection of invoices, restoration images, and a current V5C document. Rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ interior trim, the vendor rates the 110 LS as having ‘excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment. Exceedingly rare on these shores, this top-performance Saloon variant in a fabulous colour scheme is a great way to be different in the classic car world!

Lot 75

Registration No: JNF 506 Chassis No: 400-1-378 MOT: ExemptVery original and solid example that can be used as isComprehensive history file, dating back to 1973V5C records 2 previous owners until 2023, when acquired by the vendorMille Miglia eligible modelWith the support of the War Reparations Board, the rights to manufacture the BMW 326, 327 and 328 and their famed six-cylinder engine were secured by the Bristol Aeroplane Company’s fledgling Car Division in 1946. Place a pre-war BMW 327 alongside Bristol's first offering, the 400, and the ancestry is self-evident, but there were many differences. The decision to make it a four-seater saw it based on the longer chassis of the 326. The aircraft grade Bristol body was more streamlined than that of the 327, while Bristol developed the already impressive 328 engine into one of the finest 2-litre units of the period, which powered not only all Bristol models until 1961, but various sports and racing cars from AC, Arnolt, Cooper, Frazer Nash, Lister, Lotus and Tojeiro. The 400's interior trim was an unmistakably British blend of leather and wood. With its lithe 1170kg kerb weight, rack and pinion steering, independent front suspension, torsion bar controlled rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the Bristol was among the fastest and best handling saloons of its generation capable of humbling rivals with far larger engines. However, such excellence did not come cheap and only 487 examples of the 400 were made.First registered in May 1948, Chassis 378 had one previous recorded owner until 2002 when the previous owner purchased it. In 1973, it was sent for a complete restoration which included having the engine, gearbox and suspension completely overhauled for which there are invoices from Bristol Cars. The interior was re-trimmed and the carpets, headlining and leather work were refurbished.Unfortunately, shortly after the previous owner purchased the car it suffered some fuelling issues which resulted in a small, but luckily contained, fire around the carburettors which burnt the paint off the bonnet cowling. The car was subsequently taken to a classic car repair garage in Kent who got the car back to running standard and the vendor then put the car away for 20 years until we pulled it out of its resting place in dry storage in 2023. This did, however, preserve what must be one of the most original Bristol 400s available. The current owner, who acquired it from H&H in 2023, initiated repairs, finding the engine in good condition. Following refurbishments and reassembly, the car is said to run well.The vendor has chosen to move this fantastic Bristol on for another prospective owner to enjoy and improve as they see fit. This rare example comes with a good documentation folder that includes lots of previous MOTs, the driver's handbook and workshop manual, a spares list and a number of invoices for work that has been carried out on the vehicle over the years.

Lot 88

Registration No: 551 XWD Chassis No: A1210428501142 MOT: July 2025Subject to a thorough brake overhaul, new battery, replacement engine mounts and fresh bushes earlier this yearOffered with a collection of invoices and current V5C documentSubject to a repaint in Ivory plus an engine overhaul as part of a major refurbishment in c.2005Current ownership since 2018The 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced. Factory finished in the rare and attractive hue of Ivory (DB608), this particular example was one of just 2,722 190SLs completed during the 1958 model year. Thought to have begun life in Europe - if only because of its KPH speedometer (and other metric instruments) - the two-seater subsequently migrated to the USA. Acquired by its penultimate American keeper in 1994, the Mercedes-Benz emerged from an extensive refurbishment eleven years later. As well as a bodywork restoration and repaint, the work encompassed an engine overhaul, interior re-trim and a soft-top and sundry re-chroming. The gauges were renovated, the brake servo / water pump / shock absorbers replaced and the wheel bearings repacked etc. A popular upgrade, the original Solex carburettors were removed in favour of Mikuni units (which deliver more power as well as easier starting and smoother running). Resident in Maine between 2015 and August 2018 when it entered the current ownership, the 190SL journeyed across the Atlantic that same year. Kept in climate-controlled storage since arriving on these shores and road registered with the DVLA as ‘551 XWD’, the two-seater was entrusted to Southern Classics of Twickenham some four/five months ago where it was treated to a thorough brake system overhaul, replacement propshaft coupling, alternator mounting kit, new engine mounts (x4) and fresh anti-roll bar bushes (x8) plus a new chrome starter button at a cost of £5,813.06. Believed to retain its original carpets, the vendor has also ordered a new 14-pc set to be included in the sale (or post-sale depending on production time and shipping). Passing an MOT test on July 2nd 2024 with ‘no advisories’, the 190SL has barely been driven since. Indeed, it has covered minimal miles in the 19 years since the big 2005 renovations. Still presenting well as an older restoration and seemingly ready to be enjoyed by a new owner, ‘551 XWD’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.The vendor informs us plans for romantic weekend country lane jaunts and pub lunch stops, have for the past few years given way to children immersed in weekend sport and with time needing to be spent with other classic cars he has, so, with a heavy heart, it is now offered to market for someone else who will have the time to use, enjoy and share such an example of a beautiful Mercedes marque.

Registration No: WLD 762G Chassis No: 1A33641BW MOT: January 2025Displaying a credible c.63,900 milesUsed frequently in current ownershipBenefitting from a recent service with attention paid to the brakes, suspension and fuel systemFitted with wire wheels and recently re-chromed bumpersIntroduced in 1966, the Daimler Sovereign was a more luxurious version of the contemporaneous Jaguar 420. Differentiated from its sibling by means of a fluted radiator grille and a better standard of equipment, it otherwise shared the same monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, servo-assisted disc brakes and a detuned version (245bhp vs. 265bhp) of the Jaguar MkX's 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine. In many ways a testbed for the forthcoming Jaguar XJ6's styling and mechanical layout, the Daimler Sovereign remained in production until 1969 by which time some 5,829 left and right-hand drive examples are thought to have been made. Among the rarest of the Browns Lane-designed Daimlers, the Sovereign is a highly underrated motorcar combining an elegant 1960s design with surprisingly modern road manners.This Daimler Sovereign was registered new in October 1968. Believed to be finished in Old English White, the interior presents as very original and is finished in a complementing Blue. In recent ownership, ‘WLD’ has been used as a ‘regular driver’, along with a collection of other regularly used classic cars and motorcycles. Upon our visit the Damiler started up on the button and drove well having recently benefitted from a recent service with attention paid to the brakes, suspension and the fuel system. The service history suggests the displayed mileage of some 63,978 miles is credible, with 60,102 miles recorded up to 1990, with the car being laid-up in storage for a number of years afterwards.Chrome wire wheels, recently re-chromed bumpers and raised silver on black number plates contribute to a smart appearance, otherwise, cosmetically the car suffers from a few bubbling spots on the bodywork and a dent on the nearside rear door, but otherwise, it appears very solid. The last MOT was carried out in January 2024 with the odometer reading 62,974 miles and no advisories. Offered with a current V5C, 'WLD' would make a very useable classic that with a bit of attention to the bodywork, could be quickly improved upon.

Registration No: M555 SGD Chassis No: WDB2304742F048071 MOT: November 2025Finished in the rare and attractive combination of Tanzanite Blue Metallic with Grey leather upholsteryLast serviced less than 100 miles ago in September 2023 (at 67,745 miles)Entered from a deceased estate having been acquired by the late (fifth) owner during June 2021Original book pack, service book and PDI check sheet etcNotable as the most powerful production car ever fielded by Mercedes-Benz upon its launch in 2002, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5 litre V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph., although AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example had been clocked at 205mph! Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of creature comforts and a firm but not jarring ride. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following. Completed to order number 0353705996, for release to the UK market on March 17th 2003, chassis WDB2304742F048071 was finished in the rare and attractive combination of Tanzanite Blue Metallic with Grey leather upholstery. Undergoing its pre-delivery inspection ten days later at supplying dealer Mercedes-Benz Lancaster of Ipswich, the SL55 AMG’s impressive specification included Parktronic, COMAND, multi-contour seats, Keyless GO, premium sound system and Bi-Xenon headlights etc. Serviced at 6,119, 13,719, 19,168, 29,209, 30,648, 37,269, 43,687, 49,486, 53,593, 57,143, 59,290, 61,179 and 67,745 miles, the most recent of these was carried out by DM Performance Cars of Chester on 28th September 2023 (less than 100 miles ago). Entered from a deceased estate, the late owner became the two-seater’s fifth registered keeper on June 1st 2021. Unused recently, the SL55 AMG started readily for our October 2024 photography session and is due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the auction. It is offered with the V5C Registration Document, 2 keys, the original book pack (including PDI checklist), service book, manuals and numerous old MOTs and maintenance invoices, not to mention the personalised number plate ‘M555 SGD’.

Registration No: KPU 103C Chassis No: BA74EM59102 MOT: ExemptFinished in traditional Ermine White with Green side flash, trimmed in BlackRestored to fast road/ classic rally specification in c.2005 by Eddie GandertonCarrying the iconic 'KPU' registration prefixPotentially all, or part of a donor shell may have been used to restore the FordIn 1963 Ford was looking to race the two-door MkI Cortina in Group 2, for which the obvious powerplant was the twin-cam version of the 'Kent' engine Colin Chapman had already developed for use in the Elan - the Lotus Cortina was born. In addition to the 105bhp 1558cc engine, the changes included: a close-ratio gearbox, shorter front suspension struts, and trailing arms and coil springs with 'A' bracket at the rear. Wider 5.5J steel wheels were added, lightweight aluminium panels used for the doors, bonnet and boot and quarter bumpers added to the front. Interior amendments included: a new centre-console for the remote control gear lever, different seats and facia, and a wood-rim steering wheel. The MkI model was made until 1966, during which time the most significant upgrades included the adoption of Ford's new 'Airflow' ventilation system and the replacement of the troublesome 'A' bracket rear suspension with leaf springs and radius arms.This 1965 MkI Lotus Cortina, is a right-hand drive example that was restored by marque specialist Eddie Ganderton with extensive details in the accompanying history file. It was to fast road/rally specification in c. 2005. 'KPU 103C' is finished in the traditional Lotus Cortina livery of Ermine White with Green side flash and trimmed in Black, with less than 1,000 miles since an extensive bare-shell restoration. It’s understood that the engine includes a correct 4-bolt crank with matching head and block numbers, fully balanced, gas flowed and ported. It also features a period Magard double throttle linkage on Weber 40 DCOE 18s, a 2-inch exhaust with a competition manifold, two Facet fuel pumps in the boot, and Aeroquip fuel lines. This setup is complemented by a competition clutch, 2000E ratios, an original alloy bell-housing and genuine Lotus half shafts which is in keeping with the works rally cars. Also fitted with guniune Lotus rear leaf springs and wedges and mated to a one piece propshaft. The suspension includes adjustable struts and rear Bilstein dampers. Final period touches to this fast road/rally car include a working period Halda, fixed-back front seats and an aircraft clock of the type fitted to Sabre fighter jets of the era.As is often the case with restored 60-year old cars, it's possible that all, or part of, a donor shell may have been used to restore this car at some time. Originally leaving the Dagenham factory with the 'DCK 231C' moniker, today, it wears registration ‘KPU 103C’ since the c.2005 restoration, making the whole package distinctly evocative. 'KPU' registrations became synonymous with competition Fords and the restoration of this car celebrates and replicates the most famous competition Lotus Cortinas, amongst them Colin Chapman's Lotus Cortina road car 'KPU 396C’, which was also raced by Jim Clark and Roger Clark's rally car 'KPU 383C'. In the last 3 months, the Cortina has had a full service, new plugs, new antifreeze, new oil all round, new battery, plus new tyres.

Pre-series production began in April 1981 and the car was introduced in the autumn that year.The E28 was initially produced with straight-four and straight-six petrol engines until 1983, when the 524td model became the first BMW car to be powered by a diesel engine. It was also the first 5 Series with the centre console angled towards the driver and to be available with anti-lock brakes.The first BMW M5 was produced during the E28 generation. It was powered by the M88/3 and S38 straight-six engines. The E24 6 Series coupés were built on the E28 platform from 1982 to 1989.The E28 was replaced by the E34 5 Series in 1988.The four models available at the launch of the E28 were the 518, 520i, 525i and 528i, with the 518 using a straight-four petrol engine and the other three models using a straight-six petrol engine.First registered 1st August 1987 and finished in Luxor Beige Metallic complemented to a Cream cloth interior, from the very good history, we know this 525i Automatic changed to the next owner, a Mr Higham of Cleveleys, Lancashire 10th April 1989 after he traded-in his 5 year-old BMW 320i (sales invoice on file). Mr Higham maintained the car with his local garage for some 18 years in his long term ownership, being serviced with Motortune in Blackpool from 1990 until 2008 with subsequent servicing with later owners, at Rampton Motors, Michael Wicks Garage and VW Garage Romford Ltd. The last service work was with Deutsche Motor Worx in October 2022 at 114,520 miles.

Registration No: L149 RYG Chassis No: SALLHBM33KA638361 MOT: August 2025One of only 3,000 manufacturedRare and desirable factory LSE LWB modelOffered with just 5 former keepersThe Range Rover is a 4x4, mid-size off-road vehicle series produced from 1970 to 1996 – initially by the Rover (later Land Rover) division of British Leyland, and latterly by the Rover Group. The first generation of vehicles produced under the Range Rover name, it was built as a two-door model for its first 11 years, until a four-door also became available in 1981. The Range Rover then successfully moved upmarket during the 1980s and remarkably debuted in the U.S. as a 17-year old model at the 1987 Los Angeles Auto Show. Availability of the two-door version was restricted from 1984, but it remained in production for some markets until 1994, when the second generation was launched. From that moment, Land Rover rebranded the original model under the term Range Rover Classic, to distinguish it from its new P38A successor, when the two were briefly built alongside and applied the name retrospectively to all first-generation Range Rovers. Although formally superseded by the second generation Range Rover, starting in 1994 – both the successor and the more affordable first and second series of the Land Rover Discovery were heavily based on the original Range Rover's chassis, drive-train and body-structure, which in essence lived on until the third generation Discovery arrived, and its mechanical blood-line ended with the replacement of the Mk2 Discovery after 2004.The Range Rover LSE was a low production, long wheelbase version of the ‘SE/Special Equipment’ Range Rover Classic, coming in both hard and soft dash forms, with plenty of upgrades over the standard, short wheelbase cars, and plenty of legroom for rear seat passengers. These LSE cars feature a 4.2 litre V8 producing 200hp, an upgrade on both the 3.5 and 3.9. litre V8s offered in earlier cars. These cars were the height of luxury at the time that they were built, with electric seats, electric sunroof, electric mirrors and many other options. Over the short production run, roughly 3,000 were produced.First registered 8th September 1993, this is the rare and desirable factory LSE long wheel-base model and one of only 3,000 manufactured in this specification. With just 5 former keepers recorded, the vendor states the chassis is ‘in good order’ and the sills have been replaced at some stage. Offered at auction with a collection of old MOTs and a couple of invoices, there’s a box of spares for this LWB Range Rover, along with an original handbook for the car. Find another!

It initially used the chassis of a Triumph Spitfire but later evolved to have its own ladder chassis design.Declared manufactured in 2009, the Locost offered was road registered on the 2nd June that year, although it is believed that it only properly took to the road in 2013. ‘RO08 RYO’ utilises a 1800cc 16-valve Zetec engine which benefitted from a full overhaul in 2010 at the cost of over £1,100 including re-boring the block, new big end and main bearings, ground crank, head work and a Kent cam kit. The Zetec engine uses Honda Hurricane carburettors and an Odyssey wiring loom and is allied to a five-speed gearbox and Sierra differential, with the GTS specification also including aeroscreen, harnesses and bucket seats. Covering some 5,100 miles since the completion of the build, the GTS has benefitted from full front suspension renewal and new front wings in 2022 with MAC Motorsport (costing c.£3,700), as well as re-wiring work in 2023. Immense fun for relatively low outlay, this Locost is a great candidate for anyone looking for a kit car for next spring/summer with minimal mileage since completion!

Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5-litre (5439cc) V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph. Though, AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example has been clocked at 205mph! Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of ‘creature comforts’. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following.With just 2 former keeper and 65,600 miles from new, this SL55 AMG wears Tellurium Silver Metallic and was first registered on the 4th February 2003. Over the years it has been looked after, with plenty of receipts and invoices for thousands of pounds for work done, including servicing, brakes and the benefit of new roof seals in 2016, for Mercedes' special folding hardtop. Regarding servicing, in the service record there are Mercedes Benz dealer service stamps at the following mileage intervals: 10,248, 20,022, 29,860, 39,584 and 46,653 (including pulley V belt change) and 53,731, with a service at an independent garage at 60,864.

Registration - OUW 841RChassis No. - XK2S1-434960AM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 75,360This clean and original 1977 Mini 850 is being offered at No Reserve. The Mini 850 has a subtly different character to the more familiar Mini 1000, with the classic round speedometer featuring instead of the Mini 1000’s three-dial setup. It also doesn’t have reversing lights built into the rear lamps – which is why this car has period auxiliary reversing lights on the boot. The vendor describes the 848cc engine as being in ‘good’ condition, and the four-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’, as are the electrics. Being a 1977 car, this Mini is also tax and MOT exempt. ‘OUW841R’ enjoyed a full restoration in 2002, which included a full respray. The vendor reports that, 22 years on, the comprehensive restoration is now showing signs of a few micro-blisters on the bonnet and boot, with a few rust bubbles too. They described the paintwork as ‘average’ but add that the bodywork is ‘good’, and the interior is ‘excellent’. Delightfully period, with the original steering wheel, the only upgrade inside is a modern radio – complete with remote control. “The car runs and drives really well,” says the vendor, and it was actually driven to the Hampson Auctions site from Liverpool, without any issues whatsoever. The Mini is Britain’s most famous car. Introduced in 1959, the Sir Alec Issigonis masterpiece was an economy car like no other, a tiny saloon packed featuring numerous innovations, from a gearbox-in-sump engine, to its space-saving transverse installation. The Mini 850 was the economy-focused special, which sat below the Mini 1000 during the 1970s. The two cars were similar, but the Mini 850 had cost-conscious features such as a single-dial dashboard and vinyl seats, which today are a collectable rarity compared to the better-selling Mini 1000.

Complementing this is a gorgeous tan leather interior, with matching wood veneer – and a range-topping Nardi Torino wood steering wheel. Bodywork, paintwork and interior are all described by the vendor as being in ‘good’ condition (“the bodywork is virtually pristine”). It uses the classic 3.2-litre supercharged straight-six engine (described as being in ‘excellent’ condition), paired with an enthusiast-pleasing five-speed manual gearbox. The vendor says the unusual private registration is included. It has an MOT valid until the end of August 2025. ‘M888ADA’ comes with its original owner’s manual, with all receipts and no fewer than 25 dealer stamps in the service book. These comprise 15 main dealer stamps and the rest from specialists. The extensive service history portfolio even comes with the original leather-bound wallet, while the car comes with two keys. Recent work includes new suspension in 2023, plus a professional refurbishment of the rear brakes, and some expert spot-welding on the floorpan. “It has been kept in a garage and only used over the summer for most of its pampered life.” The vendor adds that there is some wear on the driver’s seat bolster, “as to be expected, but I have been told that this is easily restorable”. HPI records show this car was recorded as a write-off in 2005, but it was fully repaired and has been used extensively since then. The Aston Martin DB7 was launched in 1994 as a turnaround car for the famous British brand. Famously designed by the legendary Ian Callum, it was derived from a modified version of the Jaguar XJ-S platform. Legend has it the car was originally designed to be a Jaguar replacement to the XJ-S, called the F-Type, but Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR stepped in when Jaguar’s then-owner Ford abandoned the project. Enthusiasts value the early straight-six versions, using a supercharged AJ6 engine, while later cars gained an Aston Martin V12. All Aston Martin DB7 were produced by TWR at a facility in Bloxham, Oxfordshire – the same facility that earlier produced the Jaguar XJ220.

Factory fitted equipment includes the removable hard top, electric windows, air conditioning, and carpets, with ‘KX70 EXO’ fitted with Lotus’ Touring Pack from new.Described as in immaculate condition throughout by the vendor – the engine, transmission, interior, electrics, bodywork, and paint are all reckoned ‘excellent’, the Elise 220 Sport has covered only 7,500 miles according to the odometer. Included in the sale is a reversing camera, new battery, tyre inflation kit, and tool kit.

Initially launched in 1996, the Elise proved a life-saver for the Norfolk-based firm, and catapulted the sports car specialist back into the big leagues. Focusing on a blend of accessible power, exceptional handling, and lightweight design, the Elise consistently placed highly in the ranks of “Driver’s Cars” from publications around the world. The Series 3 featured a modest restyling over the Series 2, arriving early in 2010, with sharper styling at the front the most significant visual change. At launch, three engine variants were on offer – the entry-level 1.6-litre straight four, a 1.8-litre unit, and a supercharged 1.8-litre version; the latter producing 220hp for a 0-62mph time of under five seconds. The Elise ceased production in 2021, with more than 35,000 units across three generations sold.

Notably, it has had just four previous keepers, well below the average for cars of this age. Finished in blue with a grey leather interior, this example has the later facelift rear lights with smoked grey indicators, giving it a more modern look. It is also badged ‘E220’ rather than ‘220E’ as, by now, the W124 was known as the E-Class. Inside, it has extensive dark wood veneer, and a modern uprated Pioneer sound system that includes a remote control. The vendor descries the 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine, four-speed automatic transmission, electrics and interior as all being in ‘good’ condition. The car is also fitted with a desirable set of ACE 18-inch alloy wheels, which alone are worth around £500. The vendor says the tyres have around 80% tread remaining. ‘N304BRR’, which was registered in January 1996 and features an original Lancaster Mercedes-Benz sticker in the rear window, has more than 10 years of service history as part of a big service folder containing lots of paperwork. The vendor adds that it will come freshly-serviced. The car runs and drives faultlessly, they say with no warning lights, while the electric sunroof is confirmed as working. ‘N304BRR’ will come with three keys, is HPI-clear, and the new owner will enjoy lower premiums thanks to this elegant pillarless coupe now qualifying for classic car insurance status.

A meticulously-engineered car in the traditional Mercedes-Benz way, development started way back in 1977, with contemporary technology including advanced multi-link rear suspension and an ingenious ‘jumping’ single-arm windscreen wiper. It was offered in four bodystyles – saloon, estate, coupe and convertible, with a range of four-cylinder, six-cylinder and later V8 engines. A streamlined design, the W124 had one of the lowest-ever drag coefficients of 0.28, and safety was also of the highest order. 1996 Mercedes-Benz E220 Coupe offered at No ReserveJust four former keepers and extensive service historyComs with desirable 18-inch ACE alloy wheels

There’s even a retro Motorola carphone in the centre console, and a factory-fit Harman Kardon stereo. ‘R988XAR’, which was registered in September 1997, has an odometer reading around 116,000 miles.

A model featuring the highly desirable Jaguar 4.0-litre V8, as identified by the ‘growler’ badge on the bonnet, this car presents an attainable way into modern classic Jaguar ownership with the appeal of No Reserve. The Jaguar XK8, known by marque aficionados as X100, was introduced in 1996 to revive the storied XK series. It was offered as a two-door coupe or convertible, powered by the all-new Jaguar AJ-V8 engine. Intriguingly, the architecture was derived from the Jaguar XJ-S and was related to the Aston Martin DB7 – both cars were based on a 1980s concept that never reached production. The beautiful styling referenced the original Jaguar E-type with a long bonnet and graceful lines, while the enchanting interior was a luxurious haven that reflected Jaguar’s range-topping aspirations for its new grand tourer. The model range was further developed with a high-performance supercharged Jaguar XKR version, and was later updated with an enlarged 4.2-litre engine. 1997 Jaguar XK8 offered at No ReserveFactory-fit Harman Kardon stereoPeriod Motorola carphone in the centre console

The Jaguar E-Type Flat Floor Coupé is one of the most iconic and desirable classic cars ever produced. When the Jaguar E-Type was introduced in 1961, it stunned the world with its sleek, aerodynamic design, high performance, and relatively affordable price compared to other sports cars of its era. Designed by Malcolm Sayer, the E-Type's curvaceous bodywork was inspired by the company's racing heritage, particularly from the D-Type, and was lauded for its beauty, with the highest compliment being paid by Enzo Ferrari. The Series 1 is often considered the purest form of the E-Type. The model is characterised by its 3.8 litre inline-six engine that delivered a potent 265 horsepower. Coupled with its lightweight monocoque construction and independent suspension, the E-Type could reach a top speed of 150 mph, making it one of the fastest cars of its time. One distinctive feature of the 1962 models, especially the early ones, is the "flat floor" design. These cars had less legroom due to their flat floorpans, a detail that was later altered for improved driver comfort by incorporating a recessed floor. Flat Floor E-Types are particularly rare and sought after by collectors due to this short-lived design characteristic. The interior of the Series I E-Type is just as impressive, featuring leather seats, toggle switches, and a stylish dashboard that oozes vintage charm. Its disc brakes, advanced for the time, gave the car impressive stopping power to match its speed. Today, the Jaguar E-Type Flat Floor Coupé is highly prized among car enthusiasts and collectors, a symbol of British automotive excellence and a timeless design masterpiece.According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this genuine factory right hand drive E-Type was manufactured on 18th December 1961 and was despatched to Henlys in London on 10th January 1962. Finished in Imperial Maroon with Maroon leather interior this Series I was purchased by a wealthy farmer, Albie Malan, in Ladybrand, South Africa. In 1988 it found its way to New Zealand, courtesy of a Mr. John Lawrence where the car would remain for more than 25 years. From 2003 the car was used sparingly with just over 2,000 miles up to 2015 when the E-Type found a new owner based in the UK. Once repatriated, the Jaguar was entrusted to Lincoln-based Richards of England and given a thorough restoration. The car was stripped and taken back to bare metal with focus on retaining as many of the original panels as possible. It is estimated they spent around 500 hours on the fabrication work. The car was repainted to a very high standard in the original Imperial Maroon colour. The engine was rebuilt by M&C Wilkinson and both the gearbox and axle were also rebuilt. This really was a ‘no stone left unturned’ restoration. The chromework, of which there is plenty, was all re-chromed and the interior was retrimmed in Maroon Connolly Vaumol hide. New woolen carpets were fitted along with a new headlining. Richards of England have done a superb job in restoring this Jaguar to an exemplary standard. Chassis number 860120 is the 120th right hand drive coupé manufactured thus making it a rare model. This outstanding Jaguar is supplied with a V5 registration document, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and a comprehensive history folder.

The W110 'Fintail' was a line of midsize cars developed by Mercedes-Benz in the mid-1960s. They were introduced with the 190c and 190Dc saloon in April 1961, replacing the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db and was the first series of Mercedes-Benz cars to be extensively crash tested for occupant safety. The body was derived from the W111 series but with a 145mm shorter nose and rounded headlights, although the rear end was identical to the W111 220b. The interior layout and dimensions were also identical to the W111 220b but with fewer options such as fixed back seats and bakelite trim on the dashboard. Because the 190c and 190Dc models were basically a W111 220b with a shorter front, they offered the same interior and luggage space as the W111 series but with smaller and more fuel efficient engines.We are delighted to present this 1965 first series (1961–1965), Mercedes-Benz 190c Heckflosse, or Fintail as it is commonly known. The prominent white coachwork, with its elegant fins and curvaceous bonnet is in very good order and is complemented by the contrasting red M-B Tex interior, noted for its comfort, space and vertically designed odometer. In the rear, the occupants also benefit from the additional seat belts; an important safety factor today.

The 1970 MG Midget is a classic British sports car that embodies the charm and spirit of the 1970s automobile culture. As part of the MG line-up, the Midget has been known for its lightweight design and agile handling, making it a popular choice among driving enthusiasts. Featuring a petite two-seater configuration, this car is both compact and fun, ideal for those who appreciate a spirited driving experience. Under the bonnet, the 1970 MG Midget is powered by a 1.3-litre four-cylinder engine, which delivers a modest yet satisfying output of around 65 horsepower. While this may not seem substantial by today’s standards, the Midget’s low weight (approximately 1,590 lbs) allows for impressive performance and excellent fuel efficiency. Coupled with a four-speed manual transmission, the Midget offers an exciting, hands-on driving experience, with the engine sound enhancing its charm on winding roads. Visually, the 1970 MG Midget showcases classic lines and an appealing design that captures the essence of 1970s motoring. The round headlights, chrome bumpers, and signature MG grille are all characteristic features that contribute to its timeless aesthetic. Available in a variety of colours, the Midget was designed for open-top driving, with a convertible roof that adds to its allure, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy sunny days on the road. The MG Midget has garnered a cult following over the decades. Owners cherish not just its performance, but also the sense of freedom and nostalgia it evokes. Club events and classic car shows often feature these spirited little cars, where owners share their passion and pride in preserving this piece of automotive history.Originally registered on 9th January 1970 this MG Midget has formed part of a private collection in recent times. It has been well stored in a dry garage, however, a small amount of recommissioning may be required. We are advised the engine starts promptly and runs with good oil pressure. Finished in white with black interior this early Midget, with its chrome bumpers and Rostyle wheels, together with a rollover bar is a good looking example. Overall, the 1970 MG Midget stands out as a representative of a bygone era, cherished by collectors and drivers alike for its fun, engaging, and timeless driving experience. A good entry level car into classic motoring. Consigned by Stewart Banks. STARTS AND RUNS WELLWILL REQUIRE SOME LIGHT RECOMMISSIONING

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. Classic Fords are generally well received at auction, this 60 year old example will be no exception.

The Healey 3000 represents one of the most graceful and yet powerful classic English sportscars ever produced. It started with the 100/4, subsequently enlarged to 2.6 litres in the 100/6 and finally the most powerful incarnation, the three litre, 3000. All three incarnations looked superb and drove equally well hence their regular use within motorsport. Twin SU carburettors and front disc brakes combined to good effect, the car was well balanced and proved extremely popular. The BJ8 was a very advanced Healey 3000 with a more considered windscreen design, wind-up windows and a quick action folding roof.Originally registered in September 1964, this Austin Healey presents well in Healey blue with a contrasting interior, wood rimmed steering wheel and wire wheels. The trim of this four-seat example has been recently renewed and is in good order as is the chromework and convertible hood. We are informed that although used sparingly this most classic of British sports cars is a joy to drive.

The Jowett Motor Company was originally founded in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire by brothers Benjamin and William. The Jowett brothers began trading in 1901 and they produced both cars and commercials which were designed for the steep hills and sharp bends of the Yorkshire Woollen towns and Yorkshire Dales. Jowett used aluminium extensively and their vehicles were light, low-geared, reliable and competitively priced. They favoured the ability to climb over speed.This 1934 Jowett Kestrel presents well in dark green and black coachwork following an earlier restoration. On a recent inspection the car started first time and we are told that this rare British classic runs well. Its lightweight construction contributes to agile handling, making it popular among enthusiasts. With a combination of elegance and practicality, the Kestrel embodies the innovation of the 1930s automotive industry, standing out as a charming piece of automotive history. This Jowett Kestrel is available due to the unfortunate passing of its enthusiast owner and Jowett aficionado. Offered without reserve this is an ideal addition to any collection.

Upgraded to Aston Workshop Evolution 6.0 (six litre, six speed, EFI conversion)Original matching numbersPresented in original factory coloursMaintained by The Aston WorkshopWhen the DB6 Volante ended production in 1970, Aston Martin had been left without a convertible in the model range despite huge demand. The V8 Volante, introduced in 1978, remedied this with the wildly popular new Aston. American orders were so high that RHD models didn't exist for many months. Featuring the 5.3L Aston Martin V8, the V8 Volante married contemporary looks with world-leading performance producing a car that is still desirable to this day, often commanding 100% premiums over the coupé V8s.This 1979 V8 Volante, in its original factory specification of Orchard Green metallic over Magnolia leather with matching vinyl hood, represents a fine example of one of Aston Martin’s most popular models. Tastefully upgraded to provide a more modern driving experience, the exterior remains faithful to the William Towns design.Our vendor, who used the car for a 3,000 mile round trip to holiday in the south of France just this Summer, has over the past 18 years, commissioned The Aston Workshop in Durham, who he purchased the car from, to carry out a raft of work and upgrades. When he purchased the car in 2006 it had been cosmetically restored but needed some mechanical TLC coupled to his desire for a more modern drive, thus the Aston Workshop completed a full engine rebuild. This included taking the capacity up to 6.0 litre, adding fuel injection and fitted a modern six-speed Touchtronic automatic transmission, something that they now offer as a package due to the success of the transformation this brings. Our vendor explains that it transforms the driving experience especially when touring.Durning his tenure, they also completed a full brake overhaul including uprated brake pads, new suspension bushes, bearings and shock absorbers all round. The differential has been fully rebuilt and strengthening work on the differential cradle carried out, in line with the increased power. The Alloy wheels have been refurbished and fitted with new tyres, the chassis fully inspected, with repairs completed where needed and upgraded Air Con with modern componentry was added. All work carried out at Aston Workshop is detailed in the cars comprehensive history folder. The car had carried out approximately 76,000 miles ahead of the upgrade work, since then around 7,000 miles has been covered including this year’s fault free jaunt to the South of France.The interior trim although represents as original with patina, would benefit from a refresh to the seats but the woodwork and headlining on the hood are in very good order, the body and paint is good but showing some signs of age and may need some cosmetic touches, mechanically we are assured this is a joy to own and a history file with countless invoices from one of UK’s leading specialists.

After spending his formative years as a motor manufacturer experimenting with a variety of models, Henry Ford pared the company's range down to just one - the legendary Model T - destined to become the world's first truly mass-produced automobile. Introduced in October 1908, the Model T boasted a simple 100" wheelbase chassis that contrived to be both lightweight and durable thanks to the pioneering use of vanadium steel. The chassis track width of 56" was the same as that of a horse-drawn wagon, thereby enabling the Model T safely to negotiate rutted dirt roads. The engine was a 20hp four-cylinder side valve displacing 2,896cc and the transmission a simple-to-use two-speed planetary unit. It is said that throughout the Model T's 19-year production life the thing that changed most often was the price, although in actual fact Ford made detail improvements to the car on an annual basis. Notable early developments were the adoption of electric lighting in 1915, a switch from brass to a black-finished radiator the following year and the option of an electric starter in 1919.This is a rare opportunity to own a 1925 Model T Ford which has featured in many television series such as Downton Abbey and Mr Selfridge but has also been seen in films such as Fantastic Beasts, Wicked Little Letters, and to be shortly to be released, 7 Dials from the Agatha Christie novel.

The American Hudson Motor Car Company took its name from Joseph L Hudson, who provided the finances that enabled a group of experienced ex-Olds Motor Works employees to embark on a new car manufacturing venture. Incorporated in February 1909, Hudson built its first car in July of that same year and 12 months later had sold 4,000 units, the industry's best first year sales record to date. In 1916, no fewer than 25,772 Hudsons found customers, an increase of 100% from the previous year. The reason was the introduction in January that year of the 'Super Six', which had been launched on the back of a series of high speed demonstration runs made on Long Island in December 1915. With 76bhp on tap, the sidevalve-engined Super Six possessed a performance demonstrably superior to that of many six-cylinder rivals costing far more. One of the truly outstanding American cars of its day, the Hudson Super Six remained in production until 1926 when it was replaced by an 'F-Head' design.This right hand drive 1925 Hudson Super Six Tourer was purchased, by the previous vendor, in Australia and shipped to the UK in 2014. Since then, the car has had a certain amount of restoration work carried out, this included the leather being replaced before the car was put into his classic car collection and dry stored. The engine has recently been started and run but this Hudson will require some recommissioning before being used on the road.

From its motor car production in 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The ‘Continental’ designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The ‘R’ was meant to recall the R-Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. This series boasts the most powerful engine after the Continental T and has a power output of 420bhp and a maximum torque of 650 ft-lb. The car could be pushed to a staggering top speed of some 170mph. Bentley's 1980s resurgence relied exclusively on models whose basic architecture was shared with other Rolls-Royce models however; the Bentley Continental R was unique to the Bentley marque. Despite the need to incorporate non-traditional features such as doors recessed into the roof, the result looked every bit a Bentley, albeit one re-stated for the 1990s and beyond.The car we have here is really rather special, it is one of just 148 Mulliner widebody examples produced and was specified from new in Silver Storm with Cotswold hide. The car was originally registered to Bentley Motors Ltd and then Michael Powels Ltd as a franchise dealer. The car then passed through two short term private owners before being purchased in 2006 by a Rolls-Royce Enthusiast Club committee member, who owned and simply cherished the car for 13 years until his passing, spending £25,000 on it during his 13-year tenure. The car is very well known in Rolls-Royce and Bentley circles and it is said that the car was the committee member’s pride and joy, maintaining it regardless of cost. Our vendor is a true enthusiast, who likes his cars to be perfect and in September of 2024, he chose to have the car resprayed at a cost of £12,000, so it now presents in extremely good condition. The interior of the car is also in excellent order, the Cotswold hide is only gently patinated, with no major wear or marks to any of the leather. The carpets and trim are French Navy and are also in remarkable condition, as are the Burr Walnut facias and door cappings.The service history this car has, is nothing short of remarkable. It has been serviced 32 times in 22 years and has a huge history file to back the work up. The most recent service was carried out in October 2024 by Iain Tyrrell Classic Cars. The car was kept and enjoyed by the late long term owner’s family from 2018 to 2021, before being treated to a thorough £8,478.23 recommissioning by Silver Lady who were instructed to completely prepare the car for sale. Our vendor purchased the car following its recommissioning and has thoroughly enjoyed it since November 2021, taking it to various shows and adding more rosettes to the collection that have been amassed over the years. The car is now being offered for sale due to a downsizing of our vendor’s collection and with the car being in its best condition, he felt that now would be the best time to offer this car to market.

New unique 20-inch split rim BBS Perseus performance wheels plus cross-drilled Brembo brake discs and red brake calipers were also fitted. The XKR-S gained firmer springs, shock absorbers and anti-roll bars, steering is 10% quicker and the ride height was lowered by 10mm. The electronic speed limiter was removed to enable the car to reach a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). Production was limited to only 200 cars in four new exclusive exterior colours – Copper Black Metallic, Frost Blue Metallic, Bay Blue Metallic and Satin Silver Metallic.The car we have here is beautifully presented in Frost Blue Metallic with Ivory leather interior and Recaro sports seats. Given the exceedingly low mileage of just 24,403 miles, this example is in fantastic condition throughout. The paint work gleams and is free of dents or any damage and the interior shows very little sign of ageing.

One owner from newRecently servicedThe Lotus M100 Elan, launched in 1989, was a two-seater, convertible sports car designed by Lotus and built with the development and testing resources of General Motors. Around £35 million was invested in its development, more than any other car in Lotus history. Its design, featuring a fibreglass composite body over a rigid steel monocoque chassis, was true to Lotus founder Colin Chapman's original philosophy of achieving performance through lightweight. The name 'Elan' connected the car with its 1960s ancestor, the original Lotus Elan. Conceived as a mass-market car and in particular one that would appeal to US buyers. Consequently, Lotus put an enormous effort into testing the car; over a two-year period 19 crash cars and 42 development vehicles were built, logging nearly a million test miles in locations from Arizona to the Arctic. The Elan was driven at racing speeds for 24 hours around the track at Snetterton. Finally, each new car was test-driven for around 30 miles at Lotus's Hethel factory to check for any manufacturing defects before being shipped to dealers. First registered 31st March 1993 to its only owner and father of our vendor this stunning and original UK supplied M100 Elan is finished in Metallic Blue with a grey leather trim with cloth inserts and has covered under 18,000 miles from new.

The Aston Martin DP214 is a rare and legendary race car, designed in the early 1960s as a part of Aston Martin’s "Development Project" series. Created specifically to compete in high stakes “World Endurance races” such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans; the DP214 holds a special place in Aston Martin's racing history. Martin Brewer’s involvement with the DP214 has helped to keep this iconic car alive in the world of historic motorsports. Only two original DP214s were built, making them incredibly rare. The car was an evolution of the DB4 GT and, more specifically, the DB4 GT Zagato, both of which were high-performance models of the DB4. The DP214 was developed by Ted Cutting, Aston Martin’s chief designer at the time, who focused on reducing weight and improving aerodynamics for better performance on the track. This design work was essential in creating a vehicle capable of competing against other powerful race cars of its era, like Ferrari’s 250 GTO. The DP214 featured a lightweight aluminium body and an upgraded version of Aston Martin’s straight-six engine. This was paired with a five-speed manual transmission, which was rare for its time. The car could reach speeds of over 180 mph on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans, an impressive feat for the era. Its design emphasized aerodynamic efficiency, with a sleek, elongated body, a rear spoiler for stability at high speed and carefully sculpted lines to reduce drag. Martin Brewer’s involvement with the Aston Martin DP214 comes through his efforts in preserving and racing a tool room copy of the original DP214. Given that one of the original DP214s was destroyed in a tragic accident at the Nürburgring in dreadful weather conditions, certain enthusiasts have undertaken the challenge of keeping the spirit of the DP214 alive through accurately crafted replicas. The two most prominent recreations, of which this is one, have been built to exacting standards, using original design specifications and where possible, period-correct materials and genuine Aston Martin parts. They offer a rare glimpse into the past and allow modern audiences to experience the DP214's performance and style.Purchased by Martin Brewer some 18 years ago, this tool room copy of DP214 has competed at many of the British circuits and extensively in Europe, as well as competing at Laguna Seca in California. The car was originally built by Adrian Johnson at Post Vintage Engineers and has been continuously fettled by the Runnymede team along the way. The engine, which produces approximately 385 BHP was painstakingly rebuilt by James Hipwell at Warren Heath Engineering, the build of which included a steel crankshaft, a lightened flywheel, high compression pistons and Carillo con-rods, with the 12 plug cylinder head being gas flowed and with fuel being supplied via triple 50DCOE Weber carburettors. A very sturdy custom-built roll-cage adds to the driver safety, together with five-point harness safety belts. The car has proved to be utterly reliable and Martin has enjoyed considerable success at the wheel of this rare Aston Martin. The car’s achievements in competition are too numerous to list but include two wins at Laguna Seca in Monterey and a win at Silverstone in 2018. Perhaps one of his most pleasurable achievements, was sharing the car with Iain Rowley at the Spa Summer Classic in 2019, when the car was last raced and coming second against strong opposition at the age of 75. In 2023 Martin spent over £12,000 on the car with Rex Woodgate & Co at Silverstone in preparation for the 2024 season, although unfortunately, it has not been raced this year for personal reasons. Race cars can often look a little scruffy and bruised, this is not the case with this Aston Martin. It always presents well and can be used as a road car should you choose to do so. Martin Brewer has been known to drive the car to the Le Mans classic, such is the flexibility of this Aston Martin. It is supplied with a V5C registration document and very comprehensive history files.One of the remaining original Aston Martin Project cars sold in 2018 for $21,455,000 including buyer’s premium by R M Sotheby’s. This ‘tool room copy’ appears to be realistically estimated given the quality and history of the car. This DP214 is not merely a showpiece but has been built to perform on the track, embodying the legacy of Aston Martin’s engineering prowess and racing spirit. The DP214 remains an iconic chapter in Aston Martin’s racing history, cherished and celebrated by enthusiasts who ensure its legacy endures. Consigned by Stewart Banks.

Works Sunbeam AlpineTwo time Le Mans competitorFIA HTP papers valid until 2026The Sunbeam Alpine is a plucky little British sports car that was produced by the Rootes Group from 1953 to 1955 and then again from 1959 to 1968. It quickly gained popularity, especially in the United States as it was offered as a two-seater convertible or roadster. It went through several different series and models during its production run, with various engine options and design changes, but importantly, it became a properly impressive competition car. A real David amongst Goliaths.9201 RW is one of the three Sunbeam Alpines built by the Rootes Competition Department for the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It was the first of the three cars to be completed and took part in the pre-race test day in April 1962, where it was driven by Peter Harper, lapping the Circuit de la Sarthe in just five minutes 8.6 seconds - some 12 seconds per lap faster than had been managed by either of the Alpines in practice for the previous year's race.Both 9201 RW and 9202 RW were equipped with a 1,592cc inline-four-cylinder engine known as the 'Rapier 1725' engine, derived from the standard Sunbeam Rapier engine found in the road-going Sunbeam Alpine. Initially generating approximately 83bhp, this figure proved somewhat conservative, especially after Brabham's team worked their magic in preparation for the 1963 race.9201 RW was a reserve entry for the 1962 race and, whilst it was unable to start, it took part later in the year in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood, piloted by Peter Harper, where it was the fastest of the three Alpines in the race, finishing in 12th place overall and sixth in class.With competition in motorsport continually evolving and intensifying, the Rootes engineering team realized that more significant modifications were imperative for the Alpine's prospects at Le Mans. In preparation for the 1963 campaign, weight needed to be shed and more power had to be harnessed. The most notable changes revolved around the engine compartment. Jack Brabham's organisation prepared the engines, lightening and polishing crankshafts, lightening pushrods, and replacing Zenith carburettors with 40 DCOE Webers, while increasing the compression ratio to 12.5:1. These modifications, along with further lightening of the body, had the desired effect as far as speed was concerned, but at the expense of reliability.Two of the 1962 cars were retained by the factory team and entered for the 1963 Le Mans race. 9201 RW was driven by Peter Harper and Peter Procter (race number 33), while Keith Ballisat and 'Tiny' Lewis took the reins of 9202 RW (race number 32). The Harper/Procter car retired after 13 hours with a blown head gasket, whereas the Ballisat/Lewis car made it to hour 19, until it broke its crank while leading the under 2-litre class. As well as the Le Mans races, both 9201 RW and 9202 RW were used on a number of rallies, including the Monte Carlo, RAC, Tulip and Tour de France.During the tenure of its previous owner, from 1988 to 2015, 9201 RW received an extensive yet very careful restoration to then enjoy a second racing career, retaining its original 'Works' colours, registration number and 1963 Le Mans specification, albeit with a milder compression ratio to increase reliability. Unsurprisingly, its second wind of racing was significantly busier than its original career with the Rootes works team, including taking part in several Le Mans Classic races as well as appearances at the Goodwood Revival - on one occasion being driven by former Rootes works driver Peter Procter. When the car was stripped for restoration, numerous period modifications were found still to be intact, and were thankfully retained including the alloy panels, original Microcell seats, dual electrics, and BR front disc brakes.This well-preserved car, accompanied by current FIA HTP papers valid until 2026, is eligible for a wide array of events worldwide. Whether you choose to embark on long-distance HERO rallies or vigorously compete at Le Mans and Goodwood, it offers an underrated but exceptional slice of British racing history, steeped in decades of experience and captured through a multitude of period photos spanning decades. We are informed it not only runs and drives well but races even better, making it an excellent choice for global competition. All these remarkable qualities make this car an enticing addition to the world of historic racing.

It was rumoured that at launch in Frankfurt 1996, the Lotus management were slightly disappointed with the 700-kilo figure proudly displayed as kerb weight for their new Elise. Putting that into perspective that meant you could balance the scales with one 718 Porsche Boxster convertible against two of Norfolk’s finest 90’s Series 1 versions … and they were hoping for less!! Named after Elise the granddaughter of Romano Artioli (Lotus Chairman at the time) this would be the sportscar to save the Norfolk brand, as the dated Esprit was the only offering in the Lotus range at the time. It was Richard Rackham, head of Lotus’ engineering who created a 68 kg chassis using bonded, hydroformed aluminium. Car magazine said at the time ‘The acceleration, the zest, the eye-popping ability to change speed and direction, the sheer unbridled sense of motion – these are what make driving the Elise so special and intense.’ A mere 5.5 seconds to 60mph the Elise is no slouch, courtesy in-part to Rover’s 1.8 K-series mated to a close ratio Honda derived five-speed transmission combined with an incredible power to weight ratio.This example was registered 1st April 1998. Having had two previous owners, the current custodian took over the wheel in May 2006. The original bill of sale confirms southwest London as the first home having been supplied by well-known Lotus dealers Bell & Colvill in Leatherhead. The service history is comprehensive to say the least with both original factory pack containing technical and maintenance booklets plus an additional file of invoices and MoT certificates etc.In September 2021 Country Classic Cars were tasked with returning this Lotus to top form. A ‘whatever she needs’ approach was taken and the work carried out over the following months included: full service all filters, Cambelt, water pump and coolant change, AP upgraded brake master cylinder, Competition (Compbrake) brake calipers, lines and discs, suspension upgrade to coil overs, steering and suspension parts powder coated, anti-roll bar drop links, track rod ends/ inner & outer toe link joints, ball joints/ wheel bearings, fuel tank, fuel pump & sender, handbrake cable plus equaliser, new alternator & battery, gear linkage kit and clutch master cylinder hose, throttle body, battery isolator, idle control valve, headlight covers and full specialist geometry set up including caster/camber … the owner has invested over £10k with Country Classic Cars in mechanical improvements alone. New soft top, removable steering wheel, larger alloy rims (to accommodate brake upgrade) locking wheel nuts, recent Tracmax tyres and finally a full respray in the original Mustard Yellow.It is fair to say this Elise wants for little. The exterior presents very well indeed and the recent respray is of the highest standard and the shut lines and panel gaps are exact, lights and lenses all correct whilst the black vinyl soft roof (generally stored in the boot space behind the engine) is free from damage. There is a Sony audio system, heater plus switches for lighting, cut off switch also a net for storage. Removing the steering wheel aids when sliding into place and with the seat fully back there is ample room for all but the tallest of drivers. The immobiliser stick requires a couple of seconds to release the start function and the dash lights up showing current milage of 41,503. Exact steering and a feeling of endless grip inspires confidence, the new braking system ensures stopping is even more impressive than the acceleration. This Elise not only looks right but is now ready to bring excitement and joy to a new custodian, precise and focused no doubt any outing in this Lotus will be an experience. The current MoT test certificate expires in June 2025, with just one advisory for a tired wiper blade, now replaced. Consigned by James Good.

The Ford Focus RS Mk. I, produced between 2002 and 2003, is a high-performance version of the popular Focus hatchback. It marked Ford's return to the hot hatch segment, showcasing a distinctive blend of practicality and exhilarating driving dynamics. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four engine, it delivered an impressive 212bhp, enabling it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just over six seconds. The Mk. I RS featured sport suspension, wider track, and aggressive styling, including a prominent rear spoiler and unique front bumper. Limited to just 4,500 units, the Focus RS Mk. I has gained a cult following, celebrated for its raw driving experience and distinctive character.

Synonymous with the swinging 60s and the hit TV Series Inspector Morse, the Mk. II was undoubtedly the most admired Saloon to emanate from Jaguar's hallowed Browns Lane factory. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its Mk. I predecessor, the immortal Mk. II was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, extensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. These cars punched well above their weight. Equipped with either a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 litre engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph, small wonder that it was the first choice of both bank robbers and the police of the period!Finished in Old English white with blue leather interior, this classic Mk 2 Jaguar has the more desirable manual gearbox and rides on wire wheels, giving a sportier appearance than the standard steel wheels. Having been repainted at some point, the car has a nice patina and presents extremely well according to the owner. The vendor reports that the car performs well and appears realistically estimated in the current market. Supplied with a file of sundry invoices this Jaguar is ready to be used just as it should be!

The Ferrari California is a grand touring sports car with a 2+2 hardtop convertible configuration and was initially powered by a front-mid mounted naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8 engine. The California was launched at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the car represented a number of firsts for Ferrari; the first front engined Ferrari with a V8, multi-link rear suspension, dual clutch transmission and the first Ferrari with a folding metal roof. The California had a top speed of 193 mph and could accelerate from zero to 62 mph in under four seconds in what can only be described as Supercar performance. The California is built in a new production line adjacent to the existing factory at Maranello. The exterior design of the California is a blend of classic Ferrari lines and modern details. Its body is sleek and sculpted, with aerodynamic curves that enhance both style and performance. The retractable hardtop takes about 14 seconds to fold, transforming the California from a coupé to a convertible.Originally registered on 23rd July 2012 this Ferrari is finished in Nero with matching Nero leather interior with Grigio Chiaro stitching. Described by the vendor as driving with no known faults, a California 2+2 offers flexible motoring.

5.0 litre 'homologation special'Multiple magazine-featuredThe R107 and C107 were built to exacting engineering standards, unsurprisingly, and with a more than subtle air of sophistication. What marks these streamlined sports cars out from the rest is the comfortable rear seats, sublime power delivery from the larger engined models and of course, the legendary Stuttgart build-quality. These imposing pillarless coupés have now become rare and prices are rising.When Mercedes-Benz returned to Works rallying in the 1970s, they needed to homologate the 450 SLC's new five-litre V8 rally car and thus the 450 SLC 5.0 was launched, with just 1,636 built between September 1977 and March 1980. By Mercedes-Benz standards, the 5.0 litre 450 SLC was a 'homologation special' when introduced in 1979 to help the works team's rallying efforts. With enlarged 240bhp light-alloy V8 (used throughout 1980s in all big Mercedes) with a three-speed automatic transmission. This super rare and desirable early 450 SLC 5.0 is offered directly from a private Mercedes-Benz collection. The WRC car featured aluminium body panels, front and rear spoilers and was capable of over 140mph top speed and was crowned the first V8-engined car (and the first automatic) to win a World Rally Championship event in a career that was short but impressive.This genuine left hand drive example is finished in its original light silver metallic with contrasting green velour interior. A multiple magazine-featured fast-road classic with a Homologation heartbeat. One of the rarer cars from The Stuttgart Collection, the history file is a delight and this very rare, left hand drive, multiple magazine-featured, homologation special may be the last 'sleeper' of its kind from this era.

Converted to right hand drive from new by Bell & ColvillJust three owners from newThe Spider designation for the open top sports cars originates from the word, speeder, and a two-person open horse carriage. The Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Spider was produced from 1966 to 1993, remaining in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. Widely regarded as a design classic, this fourth series version of production came with further mechanical and cosmetic changes. Mechanical changes saw the introduction of the Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection with an electric fan and cosmetically, losing its front under bumper spoiler and the rear boot spoiler picking up 164-style rear lights stretching across the width of the car together with colour co-ordinated plastic bumpers.This well maintained example of the Alfa S4 Spider is presented in Alfa Red with contrasting biscuit leather interior trim. One of the few cars that were imported to the UK and then subsequently professionally converted to right hand drive by Bell and Colvill from new in 1992. With just three owners from new the service history is comprehensive and the car has benefitted from a recent new hood and underseal to protect the car from any future rust.

The AC Cobra is a celebrated representation of classic British automotive design combined with American muscle. Originally created in the early 1960s, the AC Cobra was the brainchild of British manufacturer AC Cars and American car designer Carroll Shelby. The model gained fame for its incredible performance and striking aesthetics, and the Pilgrim variant continues this legacy with modern enhancements while retaining the spirit of the original. Pilgrim Motorsports began producing replicas of the iconic Cobra in the 1990s, capturing the essence of the classic vehicle while integrating contemporary technology and craftsmanship. The Pilgrim Cobra is renowned for its lightweight construction, typically featuring a fibreglass body that provides both agility and speed. This replica pays homage to the original's sleek lines and muscular stance, drawing enthusiasts with its timeless appeal. Under the bonnet, the Pilgrim Cobra often houses powerful V8 engines, mirroring the heart of the original models that dominated racetracks in their heyday. Depending on the specific configuration, these engines can deliver impressive horsepower, allowing for exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling driving experience. Owners often participate in classic car shows, track days, and spirited drives, sharing their love for the iconic vehicle. The Cobra's legacy is intertwined with tales of racing victories and a culture that celebrates speed, style, and craftsmanship. In summary, the Pilgrim AC Cobra stands as a tribute to the original while offering a modern interpretation that satisfies both performance and aesthetic desires. Whether you’re a collector or a casual enthusiast, this car captures the spirit of an era defined by innovation and adventure in automotive history.Originally registered on 1st October 1997 this Cobra is finished in the classic colour combination of metallic blue with black seats. Fitted with a Rover 3.9 litre V8 engine with side exhausts, this Cobra not only looks good, it sounds great too. The bucket seats ensure comfort and the minimalistic dashboard is easy to read. The gearbox has been overhauled and a new clutch fitted. We are advised by the vendor this Cobra by Pilgrim drives with no known faults. The odometer was changed at approximately 6,500 miles, therefore the total mileage covered is just short of 10,000 miles. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 25th July 2025. The blend of classic design with modern engineering ensures that the Pilgrim Cobra is a performance-oriented vehicle that can handle the demands of both spirited driving and everyday use.

Mention Alfa Romeos from the 1960s and 1970s and what usually springs to mind is the marque’s 105 Series Coupé, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone, considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification, with its five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent suspension, and powerful twin-cam engine, still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts.This is a very early 105 series ‘step nose’ example, which has been in the care of our vendor for some 35 years, it was bought as his first car and used for four or five years before being laid up and stored in his father’s garage up until 2018. The car is an original UK supplied example and is the perfect candidate for further restoration or to turn into a restomod. The car has undergone much work since 2018 such as fitment of a new front crossmember, front chassis legs and lower valance, both doors were rebuilt and reskinned, new fuel tank, fuel lines and rebuilt carburettors, new servo and rebuilt calipers, new radiator, water pump and hoses, new spring pans and track rod ends, new mats, re-covered rear seat and a new exhaust system. The car would next benefit from some attention to the paintwork, but it is perfectly useable as is and our vendor has been using it, but loss of storage now means the car must be sold. This provides an excellent opportunity to take on a car which has had much of the hard work completed and leaves the next owner with the decision on which style to finish the car in.

The history of Aston Martin’s V8 saloon is well documented but what is less known perhaps is the final series, or Oscar India (October Introduction), especially when specified with the extremely rare (and in this instance original) dogleg ZF manual gearbox which sets itself in a league of its own with, according to the AMHT, 26 being built and only 15 of which were right hand drive. It should thus be noted that this is a genuine factory manual example and not mistaken for a later conversion.Still on the original 1983 registration and with matching numbers as confirmed by the enclosed Heritage Certificate, the factory options at the time were a manual gearbox, two rear fog lamps, Cibie headlights in the front grille and, interestingly, a rear silencer delete.Also enclosed is a large history file going back to delivery in the early eighties including the original stamped service book, owner’s manual, warranty card, old MoT’s and numerous invoices. The registration document shows only three owners and is probably the lowest produced configuration of the Oscar India with only twelve right hand drive examples complete with a manual gearbox ever made.Originally purchased through ​​​Victor Wilson Ltd. in Edinburgh by Robertson Baxter Ltd, (Distillers) in the original and present colour scheme of Raven Black with a contrasting burgundy leather interior. There then follows a comprehensive service history as well as a number of period upgrades including a complete engine rebuild to 5.7 Vantage capacity and X-Pack specification with new liners, pistons, valves, high-profile cams and larger carburettors and inlet manifold. Additionally, the correct ZF five-speed gearbox has been rebuilt with a short-shift added and new clutch. A full-flow, oil-cooler with thermostat has also been fitted as well as a Harvey Bailey handling kit offering a much-improved handling and roadholding driving experience with lower & stiffer suspension, rebuilt dampers, stiffer front anti-roll bars as well as the additional of a rear anti-roll bar. Also included is the original black leather owner’s manual (with pencilled notes), the original Aston Martin warranty and service voucher booklet as well as receipts for all work in current ownership which includes numerous works such as a gearbox rebuild by noted specialist Rikki Cann, an upgraded Powerlite high-torque starter motor, restored leather interior, re-lacquer of all interior woodwork and fresh carpets and door cards and finally, the engine rebuilt to Vantage X-Pack specification by Aston Martin specialists Oselli to the tune of £45,000 bringing works in recent years to over £67,600 since it was purchased by the current owner.
